[popdrop] H4: Vermillion and Hospitality

[warpweft]

[The first thing you notice is how dark it is. It’s really, really stinkin’ dark. You can’t see anything. Even if you naturally have the ability to see in the dark, well, not anymore. Which may be the second thing you notice - any powers you have, any magic is gone. Silenced. You can’t feel it, similarly to when you’re in the theme park, with an additional sense of anxiety and loss surrounding the inability to tap into it. Even a heightened sense of emotion won’t bring them back, like it might in the theme park. If you have other powers of some kind, enhanced physical capabilities or the like, they’re either gone or significantly reduced as well. You feel extremely normal and it doesn’t feel good.]

[Whether you stay still or stumble along in the dark, at least it’s not too long. You eventually catch notice of something illuminating the darkness. You find yourself drawn to it. It's a small spherical glass object. Near the edges, it's black, but bits of purple and violet appear, gradually brightening and swirling together in a spiral shape at the center. The spiral at the center is bright enough to bathe you and the surroundings in a soft violet light. As you get closer, you can feel voices coming from the sphere. You can’t tell what they’re saying, but maybe if you were closer. You feel a deep desire in your stomach to just…reach out….]

What are you doing?

[The voice, a woman’s voice, comes from behind you. You didn’t hear anybody approaching, but you’re immediately filled with an intense sense of foreboding. You turn and look, but you can’t see anything. The darkness is once again overpowering, the violet glow from the object next to you being the only thing that isn’t swallowed up by it. All you can make out in the darkness is what may be someone’s face and…two eyes. With nothing in them. Pitch-black.]

You touched the Heart…

You touched MY Heart!?

[There’s a lot of anger and it’s not making that sense of foreboding go away. The darkness and the person(?) inside it advance towards you, slowly engulfing the violet glow around you. Just when you’re thinking you’re gonna have to decide between fight or flight, here — something moves.

Towards you.

You feel something punch into your chest and before you know it, you’re on the ground, searing pain running through your upper body. A few things briefly pass through your senses. You hear a loud scream. If you tilt your head up, you can see a long black spike…embedded in your own chest. And you can taste… …yup. That’s your own blood.

That’s about as far as you get before consciousness leaves you.]

[Huh, that's weird. The two bedroom thing.]

[But first thing's first!]

Oh, hello. Pardon the intrusion. [To Javabot.]

[.....listen, I feel javabot on a Spiritual Level.]

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[voidhearts]

[Javabot knows not greetings. Javabot knows only coffee.]

[However, there is now a plate waiting for you that wasn't there before.]

[You acquired Espresso and Pastry.]

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[smarthousemerc]

[She also feels that on a spiritual level. She will accept the expresso and pastry.] Thank you very much.

[Let's look at the weird Hex room.]

[Your hand touches the doorknob and...]

[It instantly bursts open, white bandages shooting out, grabbing you by the waist and dragging you in. The door slams shut behind you.]

[Hex is in her bedroom, sitting on her bed. Her....skin is purple. She has a pair of nubby horns on her head. She's sitting there in a nightgown and there's long white bandages hovering all over the place that appear to have come from her.]

Well, hello there.

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[smarthousemerc]

[....nts, carry a fucking knife.]

Hello.

Is there a reason you're restraining me?

[But she has an amazing poker face, no matter how Concerned she is.]

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[warpweft]

Well, look at all of these. [She gestures to the bandages.] What else am I supposed to do with them besides indulge in a little bondage, honestly?

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[smarthousemerc]

Ah.

So this is the sex bedroom.

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[warpweft]

Ding ding ding! You're correct! You win the prize!

Would you like to guess what the prize is?

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[smarthousemerc]

Is it sex?

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[warpweft]

You're a genius.

[The bandages are reeling you in near the bed.]

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[smarthousemerc]

[Getting reeled in because robot body doesn't have super strength and she's gotta think about this.]

I'm supposed to be helping you though.

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[warpweft]

And what part of this do you think isn't helping me?

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[smarthousemerc]

....do I get one of your treasures this way?

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[warpweft]

[She taps her chin.]

[She taps it some more.]

...

[Now she's tapping Hospitality's chest with her finger.]

...

Still thinking about it.

[Still tapping.]

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[smarthousemerc]

I mean, bondage is usually an involved session and I'm supposed to be helping with a problem.

Its less a protest of the sex as more the potential time loss, so it has to be efficient use.

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[warpweft]

Hm. There is the issue of the riff-raff out there, isn't there.

Tell me. Do you have any kinks you'd like to indulge in a slightly shorter timespan?

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[smarthousemerc]

....

To be honest, sex had little interest to me before this place. Even now, I guess I have something of a libido with all the stuff this place pulls, but seeking my own sexual satisfaction is an entirely new concept.

I do like serving people. Sometimes that's with commands, sometimes it's following them.

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[warpweft]

That works.

Serve me for a bit, and I'll give you....half.

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[smarthousemerc]

[Hmmmmm.]

And what can I do for my darling princess?

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[warpweft]

Ooooh! Roleplay! [She claps her hands. The bandages pick her up and deposit her on the bed. She blows a little gust of violet smoke into Hospitality's face. Not sure how this is supposed to work on androids, but in this Heart, it's a concentrated burst of aphro.]

[Suffice it to say, Princess and Queen stuff happens her. Or...Princess and Servant stuff? Princess and Queen-Servant? Whatever. Hex is the Princess and she's getting serviced and both of them are laying on the bed in their underwear a short time later, a general sense of contentment and also the smell of that purple smoke and each other in the air.]

I do so enjoy making new friends.

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[smarthousemerc]

[Princess and Queen-Servant because why not go with the weird incestuous game theme-]

[How aphro works will be determined upon kissu kissu return-]

[She's playing idly with a lock of Hex's hair.] Friends are very nice.

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[warpweft]

Very much so. And to cement our friendship, I believe I owe you something.

[A bandage drops something into her hand. She then offers it to Hospitality.]

[It's a black...rocky...something? There's definitely magical energy seeping off of it, but in its current form, you can't tell what it is.]

[You acquired ???]

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[smarthousemerc]

[She takes it and]

[Tilts her head at it thoughtfully. Moving it around in her hands as she looks it over.]

This is...maaaaagic?

Re: TAFFY TOURIST TRAP

[smarthousemerc]

[Leaving to come back to later]

[That is quite a bit of smoke. It'll take a bit for the effect to really show, androids are kinda weird, but fairies new what they were about-]

[She doesn't even cough.]

I thought you might enjoy it, princess.
