Got Alexandrine split off. She’ll be ready whenever Exzel and Ellie need her.

Interesting wording. Some of it implied they went rather far, some might have been more innocent. Or maybe they did some but planned to go further? Jumi was not too surprised it was left a little vague. But she left it alone for now. Maybe she would try to get details out of Mitsuko later, maybe they were busy with things. She simply nodded at that and looked to Alexandrine. “If you want to do it alone this time, I don’t blame you. But don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need it, when you decided to put an end to the damned demon-rabbit.” Offering help with Zorn was a sensitive thing, considering what happened last time, but she made the offer anyway. Alexandrine nodded to Jumi, then Mitsuko, and finally Nymphia. “Maybe we will.” She said to Mitsuko’s more pleasant offer. Then looked to Jumi silently for a moment, before answering that. “We will have to see.” After that she stepped out of the room. “Good luck, you two have a big challenge, but maybe you can pull it off.” She stepped off, heading into the hall, to look for Rin at least. Maybe see if Hikaru was around, before looking for Emi some more. Jumi watched Alexandrine head off. “We checked on them a moment, before coming here.” She addressed Mitsuko’s concerns. “She seemed fine, but both of them might be getting a bit restless. But now is the trickier part. The building is empty enough, it probably won’t be too hard. But will have to see what to do about getting them home.”

Alexandrine was half awake when she heard Jumi’s knock and words. She slept about as well as could be expected. But her various troubles returned to mind. No word from Emi. She would soon have to look for at least Rin, if not Emi. Try to figure out what happened. Then decide if she wanted to approach Elie, if Exzel did not call for her first. There was much to do, she would have to break off on her own soon. For now though, she stood, got dressed fairly quickly. She was sure Jumi was wondering what she and Mitsuko did, but was unlikely to openly ask. She would leave Jumi wondering. Though Jumi saw the restlessness in her sometimes ally, friend of sort’s eyes. “I’m sure we won’t be hanging around here too much longer. Other than maybe giving anyone who needs it a chance to eat or cleanup…though I intend to wait until I’m home to shower, which my new roommate could do too, if she wants. You have a lot to deal with. If you want to go off, don’t feel pressured to hang around.” She offered Alexandrine, as she was still dressing. “I may do that, at least in a few minutes. After things settle down, might check on how you all are doing.” She answered, curious to see how Jumi handled a proper relationship or living with people, and letting Mitsuko know she might see her again at least fairly soon.

Jumi kept her thoughts to herself on opinions of the places. Shinigami’s house had a little prison like in the beginning, but she warmed up to it later on. This place was more fun for her however. As she had mentioned before, something like a holiday. Though she could understand Nall wanting to get some air/space. That said… “Hopefully you two won’t find my apartment too confining.” She said, mostly as a joke. In the short term, Nall and Shinigami might be confined there more often than not. Until they could figure out something. Keeping either of them around when she and/or Mitsuko were in civilian form might be an issue. ”I suppose it would be a good idea. Hopefully they didn’t stay up too late and got a good sleep. Back in a moment.” It was better if Nall and Shinigami stayed put a little longer, but she did not mind if Nymphia followed. She could have called Alexandrine instead, but maybe this was better. She stepped over to the room those two were in a gave a short firm knock. “Good morning ladies. No rush to get up, but it is probably a good time to wake up and begin getting dressed and ready to go.” She stood by the door and waited quietly, in case either wanted to respond.

“We will wait a little bit. Not just wanting the crowd to lighten up. Give Mitsuko a little more time too. Not sure what she and Diamond were up to last night. If she does not come here on her own, I’ll go check on them in a little while. Wanted to take a look here first, see that you two had a good night, and let Nymphia give some last assistance before we split up and leave.” Jumi added her thoughts to the plan, just watching the others for now. Seeing just how much help Nymphia thought Shinigami might need and whether Shinigami was relaxed enough to just let it happen. ”Once Mitsuko is here, we’ll see about slipping out. Working on getting you both to my apartment. See how easy is it to slip you in once we get there. Some light time for you two to settle in, figure out where we go from there.” The first priority was rather short term. Getting Shinigami from point a to b. Figuring out the long term, the three of them together. That would take time, though they could start after the move was made.

It was the idea Jumi was leaning towards anyways. While she enjoyed the quiet and the warm bed, it was probably good to check on Shinigami. It would be nice if Shinigami could similarly sleep in and enjoy the quiet, but maybe it was a little much for her, and if she was up, she probably wanted company other than Nall. She stretched a little then slowly sat up. “Hopefully she isn’t getting too restless.” Nymphia might be right too, that she could use some more healing. “I think we’ve all had enough fun to satisfy ourselves a little while, but if she needs to get it out of her system again, don’t worry I’ll take it for you.” She volunteered to make it easier on Nymphia, just in case Shingami was up for another round, as she began to get dressed. It would be interesting to see how that developed between her, Shinigami and Mitsuko. How much Shinigami wanted it and how often. It might also depend on how quickly they wanted to leave, or wait for the others. There was less to do now that things were closing up, and that was one way to pas time. But she would leave that up to Shinigami.

Jumi had let herself relax more than often as she slept. It was night she could relax, not worry about things, after everything that happened at Shinigami’s house and before figuring out what to do with her now. It was nice to have some company as well and she figured she could sleep in a little both for Mitsuko to have whatever night she wanted, and to let the crowd the leave. By the time they were ready to go, there should not be many left in the building other than some of the Magical Girls/Knights and probably some staff cleaning up. If they were careful, they might get Shinigami out unseen. Though it might also be good to get up early enough to at least eat. Cleaning was an option, but it could also wait until she was back home if necessary. She slept in a little longer than Nymphia, but her shifting around did wake Jumi up. Rubbing her eyes, looking around the still dark room. But she was sure it was well into the morning. “Slept well?” She let out a soft sigh. “Well, it’s finally over. Suppose we should get up soon. Decide whether to check on Shinigami first, or Mitsuko, if she and Diamond don’t want some more private time.” She did not get out of bed or begin dressing yet. Taking a moment longer to enjoy the bed, and the other body in it.

I’ll see about getting my reply in soon. Unexpectedly busy last few days. May not be tonight, but maybe tomorrow night. Will see about getting one of my other replies in tonight.

“Well, yes I was talking about next time. But glad you seem to look forward to it.” Jumi teased humorously. Nymphia spending more time with any of them was something for another day, a future point yet to be determined. It was hard to guess how long it would be. Shinigami would get her rest, Mitsuko would too, depending on what she and Alexandrine might be doing. It would be a little while before any of them had more time with her. Would be interesting to see how much changed between now and then. “Will give her the suggestion. Hopefully she listens.” Jumi added but not especially concerned. Things had changed some, but she was not sure how much Shinigami would listen to her or Mitsuko, hopefully it would all work out. But that was one of the challenges that they would begin working on tomorrow. As Nymphia fell asleep, she finally did as well. The big morning was coming, though they could still sleep in, wait for the crowds to be gone before they made their way out.

Of course people knowing about what happened there and using it rule out any sort of corruption was mostly a hypothetical. It would be a bit much to explain to someone who was suspicious. “Yeah, that is why it’s easier to just keep the whole thing discrete as we can. As for what happened there, well it’s a little late to go into much detail, maybe another time we see you. Just it was a big few days. Some of what you experienced, some tension as we figured it all out, figured each other out. Then it all came to an end as we got interrupted and the place destroyed by someone who could be best described as Shinigami’s mom. Though I have even less of an idea of what she is than Shinigami, or her motives. She was not exactly friendly, but she kind of helped us escape another enemy who had been chasing Mitsuko around.” Jumi returned the kiss rather aggressively, eagerly, but with some warmth. Even casual partners were given affection, though exactly how varied, men and women got a little different treatments but it also tended to be at least a little individualized. Nymphia would get a treatment at least slightly unique, no one else would see, though there was some overlap too. The agreement was already made, sex was done for the night, but Jumi still treated Nymphia with a little intimacy. The sort of bond not uncommon between two Magical Girls, but perhaps more common for teammates. “Look forward to it. You can spend some time with Mitsuko later too, if you want, she seemed to warm up to you pretty well. Maybe even a little of what only Shinigami can give you, but we’ll see if she feels that.” Jumi continued to kiss Nymphia while saying this, though that was probably as far as it would go, until they went to sleep. “I never expected to have a serious relationship with anyone, man, woman, human or otherwise. But yeah, after what we went though, I’m willing to go rather far with her. See if it just her.” Was it more accurately a three person relationship, including Shinigami? Perhaps, it would be interesting to see how that evolved. But she would have her moments with others like this too, it looked like Mitsuko would too, but maybe not as often or with as many others. Nymphia was right though. They could not get too excited, even if Jumi was being affectionate enough to risk exciting her companion. But it was probably close to time to sleep, another reason she was keeping her hands to herself.

Whether a man or Shinigami, children was likely a long way off, especially if Jumi could protect herself from further demonic violation. It was something she was not going to trouble herself with yet. Whether she told Mitsuko or Shinigami at this point was a question she was not going to concern herself real soon either. It was a line to cross at some point but she would worry about that when she felt it was closer to the right time. Though she was a little curious what Mitsuko felt about it. Her girlfriend was happy it was safe, but for it was possible, would she try? With how Mitsuko felt about Shinigami too, it seemed possible, though she would probably want to wait too. Doing their part as Magical Girls was important, even if she did not have that responsibility, Jumi might have waited at least a few more years before trying. “People can believe what they want. If they saw what happened in that house they would know she did not corrupt me. But I’m also in no rush for others to find out about here. Better to keep her presence discrete in the short term, see if there is a way to be open later on. I might want to be a mother, but I’m not planning on it happening soon.” It would not be easy under any circumstance. Whether the father human or not. The child was likely to have the power. More so if it was Shinigami, or a Knight. If it was a human, perhaps it was better to choose a Knight, be a little more traditional. Though not to the extent of marrying one. With Mitsuko and now Shinigami, there was an open relationship, but it was others who would be on the side, she was not likely to marry any man. She returned the hug. “Don’t worry about me. I’m ready for this challenge. Don’t intend to be reckless.” She leaned forward and whispered in the girl’s ear. “Knowing I’ll see someone as warm and beautiful from time to time makes it easier.” This was the way it was with her. She would not love Nymphia the way she did Mitsuko, or perhaps Shinigami. But she hoped to spend more time like this with her, even if it was not very often.

The tackle connected. While he was not as aggressive as he could be, Zorn was trying fairly hard to force her down. Not being especially gentle. How should he handle this though? A few thoughts came to mind. “I don’t think they appreciated that, Sorceress. Might have to give them a show to make up for it, if not invite them to join in.” The threat to let them join in was part of the game, he did not intend to truly do it, unless Exzel seemed like she wanted it. But most likely it would just be the two of them, maybe with an audience. But he had something else, he had been hoping to practice. It would be interesting to see how both the real Alexandrine, and Exzel playing her would act this out. “…You softly moaning…calling out my name….giving into me. They might enjoy it. Just like your sister…She’s alive you know, belongs to me completely. Learned to crave demon over human…how long until you do the same. It was so much fun, watching her twist and break, the hate slowly shifting to desire, loyalty, love.” He was not going to bring Emiri out for this, but the shock might still have overwhelmed the real one. Of course she might not believe it, but it was the truth, something to twist her heart with. That he could maybe use to corrupt the real one a little, before finishing her. “Maybe you can join her, if you begin to understand, see it her way.”

The possibility of having a non-human child, Jumi always knew it was a possibility. Even before Shinigami, one of those demons who forced themselves on her always had a chance of giving her a child. The secret known to Magical Girls and Knights, but not to the public. Thankfully it only happened a few times and she was not that unlucky. But again, even without Shinigami there was a non-zero chance of it happening to any or all of them, if they were unlucky. Hopefully Mitsuko did not have to go through with it, even if it was the only probable way of her having a chance of having a child, at least biologically. As for Shinigami…well there were thoughts Jumi figured she would finally share. “She says she is different from demons, though I’m not precisely sure what to consider, unable to give a woman child….it does make things safer. As for magic that might allow her to do that, who can say, she did lose much of her power in the escape from the house….” “…That changed a number of things, no binding deals, rules, etc…If none of that chaos had happened, I had considered making that offer. To be mostly free, but probably would have had to visit her from time to time. If she found a way to do it, I was willing to offer to have her child.” That was the second deal she had been considering, when that was still on the table. The possibility of having a child being the ultimate prize, if Shinigami left the best impression. Though she wondered how Shinigami would have reacted. It was not completely impossible, she supposed. Nothing seemed to be in a world like this. But it would probably not be soon. It seemed more likely she would have a human man’s child someday. Maybe a Knight, maybe an ordinary man. But with her relationship with Mitsuko, it probably would not be a man with a serious attachment. “You are right though, that could be a whole different challenge, depending on how hidden it is.” With demon children, there were some like Emi, who always had to hide it. But more often they looked human most of the time, only appearing different when they transformed. But, Shinigami was not a demon, she would not guess what a child of her’s might be like.

Got further delayed in replies by Covid around 2 weeks ago, but finally mostly better. See about catching up on all my stuff. Get to Shinigami thread next then other places. See if I can finally get my old streaks going again.

Zorn was close behind, but decide to give his prey a little more chance for fun. Her choice of attack was not quite the style of his old enemy, but the sorceress was quite powerful, with a variety of power, he did wonder how much of it his ally could imitate. It was quite the sight though. It made her more appealing, both as her true self and imagining what he would do to the true sorceress. He might play with her later, when he eventually defeated her, before finishing her off. But he wanted to have fun with the imitation first. The way Exzel was acting, certainly different than the Sorceress’ current personality, but a somewhat closer to her old one. He leapt forward before Exzel could get away from the guards. Tackling into her, in an attempt to pin her against the wall. Darker desires building within. He intended to keep his word, treat Exzel as an ally, an equal. But he wanted ‘Alexandrine’ to break, just like her sister. To see the woman submit to him. He did not have the time to work on her, like he had Emiri. He would just have to see how Exzel played it out, as, if the tackle was successful, he would attempt to force her down.

She said she was 95% sure she was not coming back to the site. Nothing about us personally, but as she put it, issues with being ghosted by others.

At least some of you already know this. But some of you who did not look at the wall yesterday may have missed it. RenRen may have to be added to the members with inactive characters list. This mostly impacts me. I have to reevaluate Alexandrine, Zorn, and to a degree Canata. It does not impact Alexandrine immediately, it does Zorn to a degree (with neither Emi or Emiri active, he may to be more focused on Exzel’s story than he might have been before).

I’ll hopefully get my stories going again over the weekend if not sooner. As I mentioned in the private reply, the only characters that are truly inactive should be those made by AzureDream69, AsBloodTurnsEverCold, BladeRunner, PixieStyx and Chiyako (and in the case of Azure and Pixie were never really played). Characters are currently split up into several groups, with at least one shifting to a different group soon.

Generally no need for a review or anything like that. Very few rules on characters and they appear fine. The bigger question is where to fit them. I’ve been rather quiet lately, still shaking off writing slowness from end of the year work. Will hopefully get my stuff going again soon, and then see what we do with them.

Clubs go up for adoption in batches once a year, if the owner has been inactive for at least a year. As explained at the start of the last batch, linked below. I'm not sure how private clubs are handled. But it seems be, if the owner goes inactive the only options are someone else takes over, or the club gets deleted (if the owner does not return during the adoption period). https://ecchidreams.com/community/topic/8275-club-adoption-2024/#comment-143342

Jumi just smiled for a moment, at talk of gods, whether there was some higher power involved in this. It seemed hard to believe, but then Mitsuko’s power apparently came from a goddess, and she still did not fully understand what sort of being Shinigami’s ‘mother’ was. She supposed it was not impossible some sort higher being helped this out a little. “It won’t be easy to figure out what to do with her, but will certainly be interesting to have her around, make all the trouble worth it.” She was still processing it all, but it felt right to do it this way, not just for Mitsuko, she also hoped to eventually find a way they could have Shinigami around, without worry. The talk of safety from pregnancy got an interesting reaction out of her. “Not having to worry about that is a mixed blessing I suppose. Unlike Mitsuko, I’m interested in both men and women. It is something I’m used to taking precautions against. I’m in no rush, but who knows, might want to have a kid or two someday. That will be an interesting talk to eventually have with her. If it was possible, it might have been the way Mitsuko would have eventually had one, without something like adoption.” She pictured it, if it was possible, would Mitsuko have eventually considered having Shinigami's child? “I think we can keep her from hurting anyone that should not be. Will have to see how things turn out. But it could have gone much worse here, when we met, if she was truly dangerous.” Jumi was not going to be careless, but she felt at this point Shinigami had earned enough trust not to be paranoid. The big test would be to see what happened if they ran into someone who was hostile ti Shinigami but did not deserve to be fought.

All appealing things, Nymphia offered. Though with the possible exception of talking, there was only so much they could do of each before going to sleep. “It will certainly be interesting. At first I thought Diamond’s return would be the only thing significantly different compared to previous conventions. One surprise after another though. Get to bring a girlfriend home with me, and someone else. Well, my life never was boring.” Being a Magical Girl since she was a small child somewhat prepared her for this. She was not exactly scared about what was coming, though she would not underestimate the challenge. ”But, I don’t regret any choices I made here. Will have one more nice quiet night, with you, then a whole new adventure.” She gave her companion a quick kiss return, taking up that offer. “It won’t be quick, or easy, but I’m sure we can figure something out.”

“Oh, there probably isn’t much left to do out there at this point.” Jumi figured it was getting to the point it was starting to die down already. Some things might remain open all night, but others were likely closing and preparing to pack up now. The crowd of people who had goals other than spending the night in one of these rooms were probably beginning to thin out, but some crowd would remain until morning. “I just don’t plan to go to sleep soon, but I’m not likely to do much either. Not likely to leave the room, even to check on the others.” She added, still not moving just yet. What she did and whether it was with Nymphia was still up in the air. “Of course, if you want to go to sleep sooner, I’ll shift position and let you get some sleep. Otherwise, just the two of relaxing until later.”

I'm usually able to get at least a little replying in during the day, except Wednesdays and Fridays, but stuff just kept coming today. At least tomorrow is my only other full day of work this week, then some on and off work on Wednesday, off completely Thursday and Friday. And Project A-Ko, there's something I haven't watched in a long long time.
