Overview

Are characters that live exclusively within the realm of dreams permitted, or should all characters have a living and dream state? (Might make a character whom with his or her tribe only exists within the dream realm, or someone who is in a state comparable to being comatose)

That was a fun process. : p The joy for me was figuring out not just who to use, but just how his portrayal from one world to the next differed. So I got to make him suffer, and then I get to give him more happy/fluffy feelings for now!

I'm doing fine myself, thinking about what kinds of characters I could insert here.

Ooh, a new face. ^^ Hello, Fragarach, and welcome to the game! Tad early for me, getting ready to depart for a hospital visit today, but otherwise all is well in life as much as it can be. :3 How goes it for you?

Greetings. How do all do?

Shiro looked at her turn around but didn't really show any specific expression, simply waiting. Once that she seemed ready, she lowered herself down and started to go back on the shoulder gently, rubbing then and going down the arms a little quickly as she had already done them. She was mostly setting them down properly for rest so she could then focus on her body. Now that Suriin was on her back, she could also see Shiro's body, covered in short white fur. The proper cut allowed for more to be seen without hiding. The white foxgirl didn't look ashamed of showing them, though. Right now, she focused on Suriin's body and sides, treating every inches of her belly but being more careful than with her back as it was a soft place. Her hands would climb up to her breasts and she would start giving them a massage as well but going one by one. On the contrary of someone playing with breasts for fun, Shiro had a method that was more focused and intended for relaxing although both ways were only so different in nature and it would be a lie to say that Shiro didn't at least enjoy it a bit. The fox girl put enough time with one before moving on to the next. When she was done, she slowly spread her massage around them to her sides, finishing near her waist. Her eyes avoided looking where she should not while she got off the bed, cleaned her hands then moved to give her head a massage as well, allowing her to relieve some stress and help her relax.

Suriin took a moment to relax and consider her options, listening to what she said. Maybe it would be interesting to meet the other owner, see how similar they were. But now she had to make another choice. Would be interesting to see how Shiro reacted, if she found it awkward or not. “You did such a good job. Might as well get the full experience, see what it is like with the front as well.” She waited for any repositioning Shiro wanted to do, anything else to prepare, would not roll to her front until asked to.

Takuya opened his eyes, looking about the small spa room he occupied, before he yawned softly and stretched. He had been in here long enough... No matter how many times he used the baths, Miss Senko and Miss Shiro always ensured that each experience was relaxing and unforgettable. The Drakeling rose from the water, extending his tail to fetch his towel and dry off. There was still no sign of Sora... Or the cleaning supplies, which meant he had to fetch more to make sure the bath he just used was properly maintained. "Maybe one day I'll be able to catch a good view of her again... Although I can't say it feels nice to have the supplies Miss Senko and Miss Shiro bought swiped... I'll use what I can from the closet, but I'll have to get more from the Sunvale markets " he sighed, moving to the nearby cabinet to withdraw a second set. He was going to have to use this set to replace the missing ones, assuming Sora did not put them back herself, but he would then need to buy new ones specifically for this room. ... This was only going to be tricky if questions were asked. Maybe he was worrying too much over nothing but Sora did make him promise not to say anything. He felt compelled to do his best to adhere to it, even if it casted doubt on him. Was it smart? Probably not, but it was better than being someone known for breaking oaths and promises. He did what he could to make the room as presentable as possible, examining every inch of the spa room to ensure it was in perfect shape, before he used his tail to bundle up Soras' robes. These belonged to him until he found the elusive vixen in the future. For now, he redressed himself in his attire and used his hands and tail to carry the cleaning supplies back to the section one would normally store them. Then, returning for the robes, he pulled his tail under his shirt along with the cloth, before he headed off. He couldn't hear Miss Shiro or Miss Senko... One or both were probably busy, which meant he was free to leave for the moment. However, he wouldn't depart yet, making his way to the front desk so he could scribble a note for Miss Senko before he departed. [The spa room is now clean, Miss Senko! I am going to the markets to replace what I used in the process, and I will be back in a little bit. If I take longer, it is because I took a detour to the Sunvale Guild Hall, but I promise to be back with additional supplies in short order! -Shiraishi Takuya]

Okay, I think just enough time has passed. When I get back from work tomorrow, I'll move Taku out of the bath and possibly into exploring the settlement proper. I'll figure out how to go about it tomorrow... x-x

Shiro continued until her legs had been given enough attention after a while then she would move from her to stand and look down at her, "Your back is done... You may now relax for a while longer until you are ready to leave unless you wish to have a massage done on your front side as well. Also, I'm glad to hear that you will miss our Inn but we're open at all times to welcome you whenever you wish to come back. It may not always be me who welcomes you, though. Senko-sama also offers the same services.", the white fox girl told to Suriin. "In fact, you might meet with her today, if you stay around. We are both here to make your visit as comfortable as possible.", Shiro assured to the green girl, smiling and letting her decide what she wants.

Bunny was not forgotten. She should be more active again now.

No comment on the dress? Well, it was just a joke on how far the ‘new you’ would go. It certainly felt like it would true enough at least for a little while. She just let Shiro work, quiet again. Relaxing, letting her cover each spot. Paws, hands, they were both good. She was enjoying all of it. The back had probably been the best. So much built up tension there, but when Shiro got to the feet, that was surprisingly good as well. She had force herself a little, not to jerk the leg, let Shiro keep her work up on it. She did have anything yet that she needed to tell Shiro. But she it was probably nice to keep showing how she appreciated it. “Might miss this place after a while…not sure how long it will take, but you can probably expect to see me return at some point.” She planned to stick around a few days. After that, they would have to see. She would wander a while, but she expected to return.

Shiro moved from her arms when done and started going on her back a little more again, this time to go lower down to her waist and ultimately, her butt, going carefully with the way she was doing it, never in a manner to make it uncomfortable for her. While this was a soft part, she could still apply a soft pressure to make it feel comfortable for her. The fox understood that her paws had certain limitations compared to a human like creature, though. Still, it didn't stop her from putting her paws to good uses. Moving down, she treated her legs next the same way she did her arms but put a little more effort with legs needing more attention. This part would go a little slow paced, so she could carefully give her enough care. Shiro seemed to know what she was doing but she also knew that her paws could not do everything. Which is why when she was done, she moved down again then started going back the other way, gently picking up one of her feet to bend the leg up and sit herself in order to use her hands this time, giving her what her fingers could do for her, always with a bit of oil to make her relax. In her position, she also made use of her time to brush Suriin's back ever so lightly to increase the comfort. Like this, she then massaged her toes and foot, her ankle and went down her leg to her knee one by one before putting one down to pick her other and do the same, always listening as well to know what her client might need.

A new you, she said. She might feel like that at least for a little while, Suriin thought. Though unfortunately it would probably not take long after she left the inn for her old lifestyle to gradually negate the effects. But it might be nice while they lasted. People in town, might get an impression she was a little different than she was, especially if she went out without the armor. It was an experience she suspected few could replicate, getting a massage from someone else might be a disappointment at this point. It felt so good, in a way she had not imagined it would. Shiro using so many different tools of her own body, some of which many others would not have. “Going to send me out into town in a dress, while you are at it?” She joked, as Shiro moved to the arms. Even the hands and fingers, going into this she had not expected Shiro to be so thorough. She was not sure if that part standard, or just proof of how good this girl was. She would not complain though. There was a warmth lingering in her back, after how good that felt, and the rest of it was nice too.

Interestingly, Shiro would also use a bit of oil with her paws as well. Holding herself with the bars, she then proceeded to the massage with her paws. This didn't entail only stepping but a certain kind of rub and pressure on Suriin's back. This part was the reason she had washed her feet before climbing on the bed. She had to assure a completely clean and comfortable service for the client. If Shiro used her claws, it would be for a very light scratching at times but she otherwise skillfully avoided hurting her with them while using mostly her paw pads and beans to do the massage. As she did it, she'd even hum very quietly, going around her back. "When you leave, you will be a new you...", she said softly, seeing how it helped. For now, Shiro took her time. There was a bit of enjoyment on her side as much as there was on Suriin. The feeling on her own paws was a good one but she was also used to do this... Experienced. She was capable to lend her weight without crushing the person under her. Not only because she was light but because she knew how to use the bars to her advantage. As she reached the bottom of her back and treated it carefully, she didn't go lower just yet. Instead, Shiro shared her paws to give the girl some treat on her laid arms, being more light on them, allowing her to feel the light pressure and even on her palm and fingers then moved on to the other arm after a good moment, letting her feel what was being done to her.

It was a little more comfortable. Feeling Shiro without the clothes on. Her own body might not have been quite as fluffy, but she hoped Shiro found it comfortable. The oils were a new thing to things to her, but she supposed it was not so bad. She might have an interesting scent after this. Feel a little more ladylike than she had in quite a while. Then it came. She had been sure what to the expect, but she could not help but shift a little, just from how pleasant it was. The extra weight really helping get the tension out. “…Ah!…that’s good…”. She said softly. Trying to keep herself still. “I could probably use quite a bit of that.” She thought Shiro did not have to worry too much about her weight, but would trust the expert, let her do it her way.

Shiro would nod and pause for a moment then stand up over her before she removed her clothes, skillfully avoiding to step on Suriin or harm or bother her in any ways. Once done, she dropped her clothes out of their way and placed herself the same way she was just a moment before but it felt more... furred, more soft. The white fox however focused on her arm once more, continuing down to her hand, using some oil still as she massages every bits with varying levels of pressures depending on where she touched. For her fingers, Shiro was more careful but still squeezed enough for her to feel it yet never to hurt her. After her hand, she'd go back and up with her arm some more until she switched to her other arm, instead. With complete silence, letting Suriin relax both in both and mind for now, Shiro would give her arm the same treatment the other received, without focus on any of their nudity. In fact, it was a moment even the white fox could enjoy with some freedom out of her attire but there also was the advantage of being lighter as well. Not much but it may still make a difference. Suriin had a fluffy ball of fur sitting on her gently, making sure that she would feel as good as possible. At the end of her arm, she then leaned closer. "Alright... I will be using my paws, now.", she warned then started standing up, to grab the bars set for them. Carefully, she stepped on her back but held some weight back, now using her paws to massage her back.

Relax the mind. Probably did not hurt, though it was not easy for Suriin to do, she was often in areas where it could be dangerous to do so. But she tried a little. Though then she was offered other options. Fur on fur, possibly a side switch. There did not seem to be anything implied in the fur on fur, other than getting all the clothes out of the way on both sides. "Maybe the undressing would be nice, will consider the other options as we closer to the time. Have to relax the mind, not over think things." She assumed Shiro was experienced enough not to find anything awkward in doing this, both naked or seeing things. Her eyes were closed, mostly to relax, but maybe if they switched sides, to avoid seeing anything. Polite not to stare too much after all. Letting Shiro continue to work, the feeling in the back, shoulders and arms were most intense. The arms were nice too, she could see the benefit in not leaving a spot untouched. Maybe she would have more questions or things to discuss in a bit, but was giving the whole relax her mind thing a try.

Shiro set herself before she reached to grab some oil and treat Suriin from the neck, shoulders and going down and up slowly to make sure the muscles and skin are well massaged. Nonetheless, the white fox girl was still listening if and when the girl spoke. "It's only getting better but it's best to relax your mind as well. Feel every bits of your body being touched. You will feel better afterwards... Hmm... But about how long it generally takes, it can depend...", Shiro said while soon focusing on one arm and going down while treating it. "We have different ways of doing things, depending on what the client asks. By example, if you would prefer to feel fur instead of clothes, I can undress.", she would say softly, without teasing her. The idea was to explain a choice that might or not feel better for Suriin in the long run. For now, Shiro went down her arm, being half-way to her hand, "But to give another answer, this could that a shorter time... Or a longer time if you desire for more, have your front side massaged as well. A well done belly rub can really help someone feel better... It may go up to your chest as well.", she explained, focused on making her feel good regardless of her speaking. Having answered her question, the fox gave her a silent time to go about her massage but she was receptive to any other questions Suriin may have for her. A part of her job was to communicate with her clients and she didn't mind doing so as it sometimes was fun.

Suriin took a moment to relax, only have a very vague idea of how this all worked. She listened to Shiro explain it all. Sounded well enough, most likely a pleasant experience. She had not expected the girl to sit on her though. That was a different sort of pleasantness, but she focused on relaxing her body as contact was made with her shoulders. There was a grunt as the girl went to work. Years of tension slowly starting to come out. It was quite pleasant. And this was just the beginning, probably something anyone could do. Shiro here was apparently capable of quite a lot more. "Probably should have got one of these long ago, if the first touch feels this good. About how long does the whole process generally take?" She was certainly willing to sit through this for awhile. If anything, she hoped it was not short.

Nothing like praise to make a good job feel even better, Takuya thought, as he pulled back, he smiled and wiggled with delight at Sora's words, before he tilted his head. "Oh, right, I guess you can't be seen here. Well... I will miss you, but I understand my time is up. Maybe next time we'll have more to time, but for now..." He looked up into her eyes, his own slitted ones observing her face, before he closed his eyes. "Just want to keep that image sharp in my mind..." His eyes were shut properly now, with no idea what Sora would do to leave the premises for now... Although his mouth was still being used, to which he passively sucked and helped coax out what remained of Sora's burden. He knew soon he would be dipping into the waters nearby for a nice, hot soak to recuperate, and perhaps need to make sure the room was once again in order to be used before he left it. It would have reflected poorly on both Miss Senko and Miss Shiro if he was less than his word and did not help Miss Senko as much as he claimed he would, with her chores. After this... He could wander out into Sunvale and check out the guild hall for work. A new day meant possibly new bounties, marks, and duties for citizens and visitors alike to engage in. His eyes were still closed, even as he felt her pull free from his mouth, but the kiss has surprisingly been the most endearing gesture he recieved in all that time, even making him pink in the cheeks. Still, he endeavored to be good, and only opened his eyes when there was nothing but silence in the room now. Upon opening them, he realized... Clothes remained behind, but many of the supplies he used to clean with, minus the broom, were gone. "... This is going to come out of my pocket, isn't it? Ough, I better restock those when I step out in a bit. These clothes though..." He saw Sora's robes, collecting them with his tail and giving them a little sniff and a nuzzle. "Still warm... Well, a little memory of her is a good thing. I'll pack these up later. In the meantime- Oof... Guess she had more than I thought..." He patted his stomach passively, before he pushed himself to a stand, moving to make the room as presentable as he could before he could let himself relax in its waters. He had to eliminate any evidence of his tryst with the vixen named Sora, and once that was done, he could undress himself and slip into the waters to relax properly. "Ahhhh... This is the best...~" he sighed in content, sinking up to just above his mouth in the water, ears flicking ever so gently. === [OoC: Temporary inactivity for Takuya until a reasonable amount of time has passed before he moves to leave the bath again. : p ]

Once Shiro has showed her to the room, she left her be while she cleaned up. Once finally done and called in, she entered then observed the green furred girl for a bit before she went to prepare herself. The white fox girl went to pick a small container that she had left in the room to fill it with water and once she was done, she would put it near the bed, on the floor. Using it to wash her hands then her feet, Shiro then used a towel to dry them off and climb onto the bed carefully but stepping to Suriin's sides before she kneeled down quietly then touched her back. "Now comes the best part... To enjoy it most, you have to remain soft. It will feel better if you leave it all to me. But to explain, I will first go around your neck and your arms... Then I will start on your back. Only afterwards will I start with your legs and down from there.", Shiro explained before she started as she said, sitting with her light weight on top of her, massaging her shoulders.

Suriin nodded and followed Shiro. She expected it would feel good if anyone did, but trusted the fox was as skilled as she seemed. What impact would a first time from someone like her be like? Suriin could only imagine how tense her muscles were at the moment. She made her way into the room, looked it over. Slowly undressing, first an unusual designed shaped armor that covered all but her head, her ears as well. Once that was all off a tank top and shorts, finally underwear. She left it all in a pile and stepped into the shower. One she probably needed. But took extra time for someone as fur covered as her. This was probably more about cleaning herself completely, the bath more to relax. That was her guess anyway, but she rarely had a chance to do more than soak in a river or lake, if that. As she was doing it, she wondered if she should have mentioned she was not quite an ordinary girl, what she had hanging. But hopefully it would not be an issue, not like she was expecting to find that sort of service here. Not a priority in the moment, but she could probably go out in the city, if she wanted any of that. When she was all washed, she worked mostly with the towels, to get herself dried off and walked towards the bed. "Hope I did not keep you waiting too long, but I'm ready." She called out, as she stepped towards the bed, laid on it, without the towel, got herself comfortable as she waited for her company and the massage that came with it.

Soft winds blew through a serene grassland, distant trees rustling as if singing joys toward the onrushing currents that brought a comfortable chill throughout the lands and all those who walked them. It looked like a picturesque landscape to any who stood up on distant hills or mountains to look down upon it, filling one with a sense of peace and comfort. The Realm of Dreams was truly expansive, and even this comforting realm was but one of countless others that welcomed people from worlds beyond to enjoy their stay here, however long that turned out to be. However, not all were here temporarily. While many understood the Realm of Dreams was just that, some had learned that an end in one world was quite likely a beginning in another... For better or worse. A serpentine male stretched as he wandered a well-traveled path, dressed in clothes that were quiet close to ones he wore in his previous life, hands behind his head as his tail swung comfortably behind him. Ever since Takuya Shiraishi had awoken in the Realm of Dreams, it almost felt like paradise to him. Paradise in comparison to what he endured before, anyway... Unfortunately for him, the memories of his previous life remained uncomfortably rooted in the recesses of his memories, as much a part of his soul now as everything he had done since waking up here. But here, he didn't have to treat his life like he did that one. The bright smile on his face was not a look one would see from him in his previous existence... Of course, his overall appearance was also something one would never see either. That was truly something he enjoyed about this strange land... He looked nothing like what he used to. Quite frankly, he had to guess neither did other residents of the land. As he traveled over the hill, he approached the settlement he'd resided at since he changed upon it some time ago. "Home has never felt so good... Although maybe I should probably take a chance and go beyond Sunvale one of these days. First things first... New day, new chores~" He remarked quietly as he approached the named settlement. Numerous structures existed throughout the expansive village, some even building toward and around trees for those who enjoyed a more Nature-like feeling where they lived. Given the size of the settlement and the number of people that lived within it, it wasn't improbable to say that most people knew one another fairly well within it. Others who wandered in from lands beyond often spent some time here to enjoy the comforts the Realm offered, making it a suitable place to meet and enjoy the company of people knew and old. He gave a few waves and greetings to other residents of Sunvale, making his way toward a rather sizable, comfortable looking inn that looked a fair but more fantastical than other structures in Sunvale. This place wasn't just a place for him to live, however... It was also a place of employment for him. It would be a good idea to touch bases with the owner so she didn't think he'd been too gripped by his wanderlust to give her advanced notice of where he was going. He had to wonder who else he would meet today, inadvertently or by design? He definitely needed to visit that goblin girl's place again too... Her strange contraptions were always exciting for him to bear witness to. "Let's see how busy Miss Senko is..." He mused as he moved to open the door to step inside.

Okay. The idea here is a rather open world. Two worlds. The ‘ordinary’ and the dream world. There will not be a single larger story here but a bunch of small ones. You have a lot of freedom with characters. Some will be much more powerful than others. But fairly few, common sense rules here. No killing/controlling/significantly changing someone else’s characters without permission. Respect preference sheets, when it comes to that stuff. The ruler(s) of the dream world are not an option to play, but just about anything else is.
