Jumi shrugged to the question of other dimensions. “Maybe, I have no idea if the dream version was really connected to the real place. My attempts to get answers out of her were not very successful.” Having seen what Reika could do with dreams just made it less certain. She could not say if Reika just had that much control over someone’s dreams or if something else was going on. The question only seemed blurrier with that place. “Kind of like how trying to figure her out got me sent here. She does like to answer questions clearly enough.” Reika also of course would not say much about Mitsuko. It was another reason Jumi still wanted to go through the second dream, even if Reika got carried away with punishment. There was still too much uncertainty, she wanted a better sense if Reika was going to be a problem or not. Best case scenario, Reika would be satisfied and leave them alone. Worst case, she might get a taste of Reika hoped to do in the future, her intentions and her techniques. Then Kaida left though. Any questions would have to wait, Kaida could maybe learn more from Shinigami at the temple, Jumi’s questions would come later, maybe tonight, maybe later. She took a moment to finish the little bit of food still in front of her. “Give her as much time as she needs with animals, after that, should be ready to go back. Shinigami and Umi should have had enough time to do what they wanted to do.” Whether research, fun, or a mix, they had been given a good amount of time. “Should get with enough time for Kaida and Shinigami to have any talk they want, before we work on getting Shinigami home. Though it might be best to wait until fairly late for that.” They would have to see if the help Kaida could provide helped influence the timing on that. Hikaru nodded, stood up. “No need to rush Kaida, but I will go prepare the car, head over when she is ready.” He stepped outside and made his way to the car. It was nice to see that the two of them seemed to have a good impression on Shinigami, though Umi was not sure what she was like before, or what Reika had hoped for. “Yes, my life will likely be more quiet than the three of you. Especially in the short term, but I believe you all will find some way through it.” They were strong, she could see that. Fighting was likely to be in the future for all of them for some time before considering family. Though she hoped they found a way to figure something out in that area, if they reached a time they were more interested in it. It was not as simple as two humans, or a human or a demon, but she suspected it was not completely impossible if they searched hard enough for a solution. She stood and walked over to get a towel. “Yes. The others will probably return before long. Hopefully they learned something useful. Feel free to get more food if you wish or wait for them where you will. I will probably stay out in the open somewhere until they are back.” She had to prepare to take Shinigami and Jumi to Jumi’s place. So she would not go back to her room or anything like that. It was likely there would be somethings to talk about after they returned and before leaving too that might be good for her to hear.

“We have spent many generations fighting demons and monsters, studying them to help us learn ways to do so. Shinigami I could see was different, and I have known the Fairy here for some time. If she will speak up for someone, I trust her word.” Hikaru explained his acceptance of Shinigami, her being welcomed. As for what the temple could do to try to help. “I do have some connections, people I can speak to. The temple is respected by local authorities, unfortunately it will not be quite so easy to convince the average person. Living under the threat of demon and monster attack for so long, the people are likely to be scared by anything that looks too much like one. Sadly the number of such creatures that have been friends to humanity are even fewer than those humans twisted or tortured into joining them.” Things like Broken Girls were thankfully very rare, but still, demons or monsters that wanted to help humans for non-selfish reasons were even rarer. Hikaru was not even sure there were any confirmable cases, though there might have been a few in myth or legend. “The temple is also only a short term solution. The happily accept guests who need assistance. But only temple members are allowed to live there long term. The temple is family, all members either born into it, or joining by marrying a current member.” “I doubt Shinigami would mind meeting you. Not sure what she would think about you knowing Reika, but in the limited experience I’ve had so far she does not seem to be hostile to anyone who is not hostile to her.” Jumi gave her thought on the meeting. It probably would go in the direction it had when she met other new people, especially if she and Umi were doing what Jumi suspected. Hopefully Shinigami would not be uneasy about an examination from someone who used to know Reika. Then a question that was more difficult. How they got where they were. Jumi let out a soft sigh. “I’m still not completely sure everything that happened there. Shinigami could probably explain it better. Goes back to the night I met Reika.” She would have to do her best to explain, somewhat guessing. “Like already said, me Mitsuko and Nall were taken by Shinigami via portal to a house she had been living in. No idea where it was, never looked around outside. After a few days there, Reika decided to introduce herself to me in a dream. A haunted version of the house. Surrounded by what I could say was… ‘post apocalyptic’ surroundings for what she showed me when she opened the door. Whole lot of trying to get me to eat an apple, which I did not. After it was done, well let’s just say things happened. Shingami destroyed the place and some relics that were apparently a significant source of power. Another run in with Reika, and that goddess who is after Mitsuko. We escaped back to the convention on its last night. No idea what happened between Reika and that goddess. Shinigami no longer has that place to go back to is the big thing.” Umi did not want to say too much. She knew very little about Reika, what Shinigami thought of her or their past together. She did not know the sort of pain Shingami referred to, though she was aware of what demons often did to human woman. But that was at least primarily male demons, she had little understanding of what two women did together, willingly or not. She was aware of how casual Jumi was with partners, but it was not like Jumi bragged about the specifics. “I hope it will work out for you. Jumi is a good girl, Mitsuko seems to be as well from the little I have seen. I’m sure they will try there hardest to help others accept you. I don’t know Reika, what she has done or what she might do. But hopefully it end in one way or another that will not be painful for you.” She did not know if a fight was inevitable or not, if Shinigami hoped to be free of Reiko or not. Or if Reika could somehow be redeemed, even partially. She would not hope for a specific outcome, just one that was least as painless as possible, if not happy. “My place is more on the support side. My children may become Magical Girls or Knights but I will likely keep to temple duties, not completely without danger. But less likely to find it than someone like them or my probable future husband.” She did occasionally deal with demon connected things. But rarely demons themselves. Her power was less likely to be good in a fight, but she did usually have Hikaru or others along to keep her safer. She would hopefully never face what a demon could do to her.

“The current plan was for one of the priestesses at the temple to take the two of them, probably at night to reduce chance of being seen. But extra help would probably be a good idea.” Hikaru elaborated on the current plan. “After you come to the temple and meet Shinigami, we can decide the next step.” It would be interesting to see the meeting, this woman who had a past with Reika, meeting her creation. He was not sure how long that meeting would last before the step of taking Jumi and Shinigami home would be, but he was willing to let them stay a while into the night. “I suspect Reika will not appear, unless maybe if she wants to say something to you. Hopefully she will behave herself if she does. I believe she knows better than to cause too much trouble at the temple. There is a real chance she might provoke divine punishment. But we will remain on guard until all our guests are gone.” He would not relax too much, but he did believe if Reika became hostile on the temple grounds there was a real chance of Maxim getting involved and he had to hope Reika was not arrogant enough or believed herself powerful enough to fight such a being. If she could, Jumi and himself were unlikely to be able to do much to her. ”She does seem to care about Shinigami. Not necessarily in a healthy way. But one thing I am fairly sure of is she won’t do anything to make Shinigami too angry.” Jumi added, in part adding on to what Mao said. “I don’t know what will happen in the end, but at least for now I don’t expect her to try to attack us or anything like that. She might have some curiosity towards how this whole thing of trying to help humans accept Shinigami goes. She is not helping, but she does not seem like she is getting in the way either, but she might not expect it to be possible.” Was the idea that if it failed Shinigami would go back to her. That Reika might even pull in her and/or Mitsuko? It did not seem impossible. She guessed her next meeting with Reika would be in a dream again though, unless Hikaru was right that Reika wanted to see Kaida. Her first night back home might be a night with Reika that she could not guess who would go, or she might wait longer. All she was fairly certain of was she would see Reika at least once more before Mitsuko was healed. Probably privately. Umi, temple members in general, did not go through the sort of courtship many humans did. While she hoped for love, the relationship would be a bit traditional. “I will likely wait for him to come to me.” She would not bore Shinigami with details, but would explain a little. “We do things the old fashioned way. We hope for our children to be Magical Girls or Knights. In addition to carrying on the blood of Maxim, we try to marry those in such role or families of such. Much like how Hikaru’s late wife was a Magical Girl.” She did not elaborate, not knowing Shinigami had met the sister of the one she referred to. “It is my hope to marry a Knight or a man related to a Knight or Magical Girl. All Magical Girls and Knights did such in the past, though it tends to only be the more traditional families, like ours that continue the tradition these days. There are those out there that know we still do things the old way, and may seek a man or woman to marry here. Until then, I am a bit closer Io Jumi in my outlook.” Now that she had the taste of it, she could not rule out other short term partners before marriage, though she did not expect to have a significant number. She would wait for such a man. If one never showed up, there were ways make her availability known to the various teams out there, see if any were interested.

Okay, there are still some details to work out, have to figure out the exact character profile sheet, still have to look for images first up top as well. Some details other members can help figure out, like potentially the exact nature of the creatures tormenting the world. But I figured it was good to elaborate on my inspirations and thoughts for the atmosphere of the club. It has been rolling around in my head around a month now. When I thought of it, thought it might have been fitting to start it around Halloween, but did not have the chance to make it fast enough. I was inspired by some horror-ish things I was watching at the time, particularly fictional ‘emergency alert’ videos on YouTube. Also thought it might be fun to go a darker route than I usually do. A chance to see characters get bad endings or turn evil. Most characters here are not likely to have happy lives. Though there are chances for happy moments and particular characters can get close to each other, but they won’t have a lot of time relax. Especially if they are still alive. In the afterlife there might be a few more relatively comfortable places, but they may be isolated and have relatively few people. To a degree I am mixing ideas from other clubs, my own and one or two that are not. But with twists to make them both mine and distinct to this club, at least for the larger world. The little side worlds people can play, I think are just ways to explore other stuff, still on the darker side, but the players involved have freedom on the details. Like I said in the description, someone could explore a ‘bad end’ for character(s) from other RPs, but they could also do something new. Those settings could be about anything, modern/fantasy/scif, with or without things like magic/advanced technology/non-humans. Could be a world just like ours, or very different.

This is the place to ask any questions you have, make discussions or discuss anything you wish. I have posted a basic idea of what I had in mind for the setting but I am open to suggestions and may add/change things based on what people think.

There was a lot more uncertainty how Jumi and Reika’s next meeting would go. Reika had said Jumi would not like what she heard, it was true, there were unpleasant things she had learned. Being so connected to Death was not a good thing either. But she seemed to have regret Mitsuko being unintentionally hurt and was making a legitimate effort to heal her. She wanted to be cautious, not ruling out Kaida’s warnings, but at the same wondering if she did actually change at least to a degree. She wondered if she would get more of a hint in that next meeting. Her ‘punishment session’. Jumi no longer had as much enthusiasm about it, but she was not going to back out now. Especially if it helped give her a more complete picture of who Reika was now. But that was one thing she would not speak of. A private thing for her and Reika alone, just like the dream they met in. Jumi felt whatever happened with Reika, she had to experience at least parts of it on her own. “We have avoided much attention so far, but yeah, sooner or later something is going to happen. We just have to prepare ourselves. I’m just hoping I can keep things quiet until after Mitsuko is back. Going to have to figure things out with Shinigami. She does not like to be confined in small spaces. But she also at least some ability to move around with portals. Hopefully I can keep her out of sight of people who not see her for a while. But it may happen before we can figure out a solution.” Sneaking Shinigami into the apartment. Keeping her there, only leaving and returning via portal, Jumi hoped it was at least a short term solution. But they would have to at least think about other options. ”As for how others see Shinigami, so far it was mostly two. One’s an old friend, which made things easier. But the one who helped us escape was new. Nice girl, was quite understanding. Shinigami left a good impression on her, though I know it won’t always be that easy. My friend might not have been so easy to convince if we had not known each other so long. Others might have a similar outlook without the prebuilt trust.” “I do not know how much I will do in the future. Someday I will marry a man, only do such things with him, have his children. But that is likely to be a few years in the future. Until then, I am free to what I will. As long as it is not an enemy, everyone here will accept it.” Umi was not surprised she lost her virginity to someone other than her future husband, but before yesterday she would not have imagined it would have been something like Mitsuko, not human, more woman than man. She was happy with her choice. “That is just my way, as a temple priestess. Humans vary greatly these days. Some will tie themselves to a single partner for life. Others are more open. I could not imagine Jumi ever tying herself to a single partner, man or woman. I do not know Mitsuko well, but whatever she might have felt before, my guess is Jumi will at least somewhat influence her.” There was a chance she and Shinigami might do more in the future, but it was only a possibility until Umi married. But Umi was convinced Shinigami did not have to worry about anything like that with either Jumi and Mitsuko. Shinigami had found some women who always be there for her. And with Jumi around, she suspected there would be other temporary women around as well, especially if they could find a way to make Shinigami more accepted.

Zorn had some experience with demonic experts in seduction. The succubus, Canata being the prime example. But Canata and Exzel had their differences, Canata simply did what came natural to a succubus, did not have the sort of training Exzel had, had different approaches. He tried to keep a rational head, play them game while remembering who they really were. But Exzel was incredibly good at this, served masters who required such. That and her playing as Alexandrine made it hard for him to think clearly. It was hard to believe she was acting, and if she kept this up it would just be even harder. He was not as easy to manipulate as most, but he was not immune to her technique. Whether she was acting or truly desired his dominance, as long as she did not show discomfort he was likely to keep going, be more aggressive. He would not try to force her to serve him, but if she was submissive in moments like this, it would perhaps make her even more desirable, make the alliance stronger. The words she used, things he had also heard from Emiri as she broke, first admitting to the pleasure. Then to increasing loyalty to him and other feelings. Some similarities but quite different. Emiri was no seductress, he was the one who seduced her. Zorn had no expectation of genuinely seducing Exzel, but the way she was acting now. He could not help but wonder if he had, to at least make her desire his body and confidence. It was impossible to guess after how much she had been through if she desired a male to dominate her, at the right time, the right one. It was a lovely thought, that someone powerful enough to considered an equal, might at least in intimate moments show a degree of submission to him, that she might might show it to him because she wanted to, not because she served him. Right now he did not care and could not think much whether it was actually or not. All he knew was she pleasing him in a way few could and acting in a very appealing way. Exzel knew how to please a male like him. One who was similar in some ways to old masters, just without the desire to make her belong to him, who did not consider her only a source of pleasure and nothing else. The sight of ‘Alexandrine’ saying these things and acting this drove him wild. He went at her with an aggressive pace beyond what he had given Exzel so far. A hunger in his eyes. Desire to see and hear more. His own pleasure only further blurred his thoughts. He wanted to see what he could do, to see and hear more of this. To drive his enemy wild with pleasure. ”…You have..so much to…learn. I will give you your true purpose!” He was still playing along with the game, but very deeply into it. Then the eye flash. What did it mean? The illusion fading? That it was not completely an act, that the demon Exzel wanted more of this from him? They were probably near the end, but there was a desire to get a hint if she wished that. No force, her choice. No consequences if she was unwilling, but if she desired it, maybe advantages. The previous words were for ‘Alexandrine’, the following were as well. But also something for Exzel, to accept if she wished now, or to consider for the future. The ‘rabbit’ was in full strength now. As she screamed he filled her insides a thick heavy release. But she told him not to stop, so he kept going a little while. The guard would have to wait. “Give yourself to me, and the world will be yours. Our power together will crush our enemies. I reward loyalty well. I put you sister in chains, slowly made her desire me, serve me. Oh it was quite the experience. But you give yourself to me freely, because you desire me. You will serve, but not as my slave. You will learn as she did.” It was a risky thing, but while he spoke to ‘Alexandrine’, there was an unspoken offer to Exzel. Not the slavery of her past, not quite an offer of demon marriage either. Not a merging of their territories, but maybe a shift. Certainly not love, but perhaps Zorn offered to be something no previous demon had been in her life. A hope he was strong enough to at least tempt her with offer. Not a slave, not giving up her power, or territory. But a test, if she desired to be submissive towards him in private, to a degree of her choice.n For now he would let her answer as Alexandrine. Choose whether or not she wanted to as Exzel, now or later. “I can give you what no human did. What no one else will. The more my strength pleases you, the better rewarded you will be.” It might have sounded simple minded, but Zorn was no ordinary demon, no sex starved simpleton. Exzel was skilled enough that he was not completely immune to her skill and training but he was not easy to manipulate either. Certainly was powerful to impress many, though it remained to be seen if he had or would later genuinely arouse such thoughts from Exzel. Not slavery, not humiliation, but a demon’s desire to prove his strength and make a powerful female desire to submit to least a little. She had already called him lord, but he desired to hear a little more, even just as Alexandrine. “How does that sound Sorceress? Do you submit to me, submit willingly?”

“We’ve already convinced a few. It was in the halls too. There were not many who saw it. One of those we convinced also helped us get out of the building and city without being seen.” Jumi filled in a few more pieces. “I’m not new at this, I know how many might see it. How I might have seen it if I was not in the middle of it. Not expecting it to be easy, but I’m not running away from it either.” She was still hoping they could avoid fighting anyone over it, but she was not naive enough to think some might be unable to be talked out of it. To think she and Mitsuko were Broken Girls, a concern Mitsuko certainly had and expressed a willingness to fight over if absolutely necessary. ”As for Reika, well, that’s up to her. I’m still trying to figure out what is going through her head too. I will fight her if necessary, but I’m not going to be the one to make the first strike unless she does more to provoke it.” She had conflicted feelings over the girl, Reika managed to reduce her initial hate/suspicion, but as she made it clear to her, they were not friends. She really did another enemy as powerful as Reika might be either. She would be cautious about manipulation, but as troubling as Reika’s past was, Jumi was not going to be the one to attack her first, especially if she kept her word over Mitsuko. Mitsuko being hurt was the one thing that could turn Jumi’s wrath against her. So far, she was willing to trust Reika’s word on that one matter though. Especially since Shinigami also seemed to believe Mitsuko was safe. Getting Mitsuko back, and trying to find a way to get Shinigami accepted were priorities. Umi was a little rested now, but still held a relaxed position, not moving much. Just quietly watching. “I have never really watched such a thing before. Never paid much attention to others washing here before. It was surprisingly enjoyable just to watch.” Of course the others at the temple were all family, by blood or marriage. Not the sort of people she would look at much, or if so, completely casually. It was another surprise with Shinigami. She had never appreciated the beauty of another woman’s figure before. Never had an attraction to it. But after what they did, it was hard not to look at Shinigami’s body in a way she never looked at someone before. She was not sure if it was just Shinigami, what she did, what she had, it was hard to guess if she would ever see a human woman that way. She might not get a chance anytime soon. “Once they are back, I do still intend to take you to Jumi’s place for the time being. I hope it works out, though you may need to find another place sooner or later. You would of course be welcome to visit here at times.” It was hard to know how well the idea would work with living with Jumi and Mitsuko, after she healed, it might not be sustainable but it probably was the best option at least in the short term. Just maybe, hopefully, they could find a solution before being forced to move.

Gard still has not had the time he would like to write, so things remain quiet here for now. I’m trying to shake myself out of a short inactive period too. Coming long weekend will help, today is a regular full work day and work most of tomorrow though we close a little early, then closed for the rest of the week. Working on getting replies in on one of my other clubs and working on a new one (secret and private for now, until I have it a little more setup).

Zorn was certainly having fun with his fantasy. Even if he knew it was not really Alexandrine, hearing the voice say that ignited a fire in him. He loved it when a human woman begged for more. Admitted their genuine desire for him, or for a demon in general. If he believed they really meant it, he almost always let them live. Even if they did not mean it, he could be merciful if they tried to sound like they did. Satisfied with the victory of making his enemy crave him. The woman would never forget she gave in, even if it was not the taboo of joining demons like Emiri had done. Other humans could usually forgive someone who gave in to that moment of weakness, if they did not go further, though sometimes the woman in question could not forgive herself. There was a new eagerness a mix of Zorn’s desire for Exzel herself, and for what she was pretending to be. The one way he could consider sparing his great enemy, if she submit to him, became like Emiri, both his weapon and plaything. It was quite appealing to imagine both sisters belonging to him. But he would have to wait before trying this with the real thing. Instead he would play along. Curious to see how much more Exzel might say while playing this act. He also intended to give her at least one more good orgasm before maybe letting one of his guards have a turn with her. “…What was that, Sorceress? I heard a little honesty from you. Better to let it all out.” He urged with a mix of playfulness and victorious confidence. Giving Exzel a little taste of how he treated human women. Inviting a bit more domination to the end of their play. But how it went depended on how much she played along. A game, possibly acted well enough the guards would believe it, but he was not following the examples of those Exzel used to serve. He would not try to make her genuinely submit to him. Though if she enjoyed the treatment beyond the act, that would be a bonus.

How did he expect her to just give in like this? Catherine would grant he had not quite yet acted as cruelly as she feared he might. But he was connected to demons! Her husband just died! And now he lusted for her. She refused to believe it was anything more than lust. She would not acknowledge any sort of love from him. Even if that was what he thought the feelings were, they were too twisted for her to consider them as such. Giving herself to him would be a betrayal of everything. The only thing that faintly gnawed at her was the thought he would force himself on Ellie if she did not. But she thought he might try to do that even if she did surrender, so she pushed it deeper down. “Why shouldn’t I. How many other women has that demon brought here? How many women have you forced yourself upon?” She suspected someone who sold his soul to demons probably picked up their ways, if he did not already do that sort of thing. She would not be surprised if he had forced himself on women in the past. Magical Girls, regular women or not. For now he wanted her to be willing. But she suspected he wanted her too much to try too long to try. She forced herself to ignore her fears over what he might soon do. That he would take her tonight, whether she was willing or not.

Will hopefully get some replies in this afternoon and tonight, into tomorrow. But going to mix it in with setting up another club that has been rolling around in the back of my mind for a few weeks now. Little secret project until it is at last partially done. Making that may help shake the dust off my head enough to write here more often again as well.

“I cannot speak for what happened at the convention. I was present for parts of it, but did not see the events in the hall.” Hikaru finally spoke up giving his impression of the parts of this he was aware of. “But I know demons. My family has fought them for many generations, I can not say with certainty what Shinigami is, but she is not a demon. Did not act like them.” There was one other key piece of evidence, that convinced him more than anything. “While at the temple, they prayed to Maxim, the Demi-god our temple is dedicated to, distant ancestor of us who live there. They hoped for his help. He gave them an audience. He unfortunately was not able to help, but that he tried and showed no hostility to Shinigami was the ultimate proof to me that she is not an enemy. Unfortunately it is only proof to me and others in the temple, will not make wider acceptance easier.” He then sighed. ”Reika on the other hand is harder to figure out. She appeared twice in the temple, to my unease, though she never attacked. I do not know why she would have told us to meet you either. Nothing you have told us benefits her, in any way I can see. If she wanted to try to manipulate us, it would have been easier before meeting you.” Was a fight inevitable? It was hard to say, the biggest question was what happened after Mitsuko was healed and whether Reika continued to try to appear around Jumi, Mitsuko and Shinigami. He was troubled by her, but it remained to be seen if there would be a fight, if so, he was unlikely to be there. Umi quietly rested as Shinigami did her thing, it was nice. Not rushed but not especially long, good and thorough. She adjusted her position when needed but remained mostly still and quiet. By the time it was done, she was cleaned of the most obvious evidence of what had been done, but she still had the feeling of the experience. One of her few remaining innocences taken away, given away. When it was done, she relaxed sone more, but eventually, she opened her eyes, watched sone of it. She thought it might be interesting to see how different it might be, even if the differences might only be minor things.

I already recruited/tried recruiting everyone I thought might be interested. Outside of some inactive members returning, like RenRen or the long inactive AirAllie (who helped inspire the club with a private RP the two of us had), I can’t do much more to help there but others are free to consider new people. But my stuff will hopefully pick up in activity again shortly. We will see what happens with Emiri, but still going to give a while to see if RenRen returns before considering other options on her. Gardsorm may join in too at some point, when he has more time to write again.

Well, Nall threw it all out there. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it was a lot for the others to digest. Jumi was not entirely sure exactly what to say next. “…Yeah, more or less, my thought process and motives were a lot different between when we left the convention and when we returned just before it closed.” It was probably better to let them process it and figure out what they wanted to say or ask before she said too much. The trick of course was not to leave the wrong impression of what happened. It changed everyone involved, but in good ways, not Mitsuko and herself being corrupted. There was a danger some might jump to that conclusion, but hopefully Kaida understood it was not the case, Jumi at least not coming off as a Broken Girl. Hikaru remained silent too in the moment but was likely to help if there was any negative confusion. Umi took the moment to relax, the waters were of course quite familiar to her. She had used them her entire life. The only thing different his time was her companion and some of what had to be washed. She had an experience unlike any in her life, it would a while before she did anything like that again. Even when she eventually found someone else, most likely her future husband, it would be different in a number of ways. It might not happen again with Shinigami, but she was happy she made the choice. Relaxing, taking in that sh had experienced something quite enjoyable and special. Her eyes were closed, but she was unlikely to fall asleep. She was quite satisfied, not very tired.

Will hopefully get some replies in tonight or soon after. Had an unusually busy time recently, and it usually takes me a bit to get my head back into writing after I go this long without writing. Work might or might not be annoying in the short term. Have a four day Thanksgiving weekend coming up, but have to see if that impacts the week and a half of work I still have before then. First Shinigami I just have to get my head back into it, brief thoughts about my other stuff: Still had not got a chance to write some more for Azreal. Still may want to do that before getting back to Alexandrine. But might get a reply or two in there first, depending on how things go. Emiri and Zorn remain on pause, with RenRen’s continued deactivation. I’m still hoping that is temporary and she will eventually be back. Will wait a while still, but if not might have to consider alternatives with Emiri. Emi is sadly gone, only to be referred to when it makes sense, between Chiyako having trouble getting back into character/leaving and the rule change. With the rule change, even if Chiyako does return at some point, safer for her to make a new character now. I would hate to lose Emiri too though. Will still wait a while, see if RenRen comes back, otherwise might have at least consider something there, whether see if someone wants to try to continue the character or make their own version of the character (helps that Emiri has only had little to no interaction with most characters so far, so a new version of the character would require little adjustment to stories).

Jumi wondered how much she should say. Not out of mistrust, but not wanting to trouble Kaida and hopefully not complicate things. But she had to admit at least some of it. “That was where we found her yes. Shinigami was not exactly out in the crowd, but we did run into her in the back halls there. We did not really know what to expect, went along with her to a house she was staying at to get her away from the crowd. Well, a lot happened there. Place got destroyed after Reika decided to introduce herself to me in a dream. Lost the one place Shinigami could easily stay long term. Leading us first to the temple and now trying to figure out what to do from there.” Umi took the moment to relax, not overly troubled at the moment over the bed, though the sheets were in a condition they had not been in before. Dirtied by fluids that she had been unaware of before the whole experience. Something would probably have to be done about that, but it was still fairly early. It was probably more important to clean herself. She let out a content sigh. “That would probably be a good idea. The sheets can be taken care of later, easy enough to replace.” She remained still, relaxing on the bed for a moment, letting Shinigami move at her own pace and to see how she did.

It was not that Jumi did not see where Kaida was coming from, she certainly did not want to dismiss a whole village being wiped out. Something she had not heard of, and she guessed Hikaru had not either, based on his expression. She had to wonder whose territory it fell under, it did not sound like anywhere in her area at least. It was too much to process in the moment, and she would not be heartless enough to argue over it or wonder whether it could have prevented if not for the convention. There were too many unknowns and it was a tragedy no matter the circumstances. The team responsible for the area would have to figure out what happened and who was responsible. ”Yeah, the biggest question, figuring out what to do long term with Shinigami.” She moved to the more pleasant topic of conversation, the biggest issue that had been weighing on her and would continue to do so, especially after things with Mitsuko were resolved. “No quick or easy answers there. Going to be difficult to move her around, though her powers might help.” The biggest trick was to sneak her into the apartment. Once there things would be pretty cramped, but Shinigami would hopefully be able to use those portals she could make to avoid it being too suffocating, especially while she and Mitsuko were out. “Going to have to get Mitsuko better trained to, but that is less of a mystery, just hard work.” She had some idea how to do that, Shinigami might be able to help too. It was something that might eat into their downtime for a while, but needed to be done. There was something different this time, though Umi was not sure what that was, it did improve the experience more though. Stretching her further, though not uncomfortably so. She was making an endless stream of noises she never imagined she would have made before today. Hopefully not loud enough to be heard by anyone outside the room, an endless stream of moaning and groaning. It was building up stronger than before, something more intense. She was not trying to delay it, it was like her body was begging for more, squeezing Shinigami inside her. Then when she released, Umi was shaken by the wave that came over her. A much longer, deeper moan as it came over her, an intense wave of pleasure throughout her body. An intense moment of pleasure. Then it was over. She was left panting, her mind fuzzy, as she took in the feeling, so brief, wondering if she would ever feel something that intense again.

Jumi could see the point, but as one veteran to another felt it worth addressing the point on the convention. “No offense taken, though like I told Mitsuko, it’s nice to have a few days to relax and the crowd appreciates the chance to see and talk to us without there being something around trying to kill them.” The convention had value to everyone involved, as far as she was concerned. A few days of relaxation would not doom the world. Worst case scenario, Magical Girls/Knights could leave the building to deal with a true emergency. Or teams from further away could be called upon. It was a regional, rather than world wide event, partially as a precaution to avoid having everyone on break at the same time. “I’ve been doing this since I was a little kid, those sort of events are the only time I consider myself truly off the job.” A little extra about herself, that while she was young, she had been doing this along time, but maybe not as long as Kaida. She was not so convinced the ‘war’ would ever be over. Mostly because it was not just one enemy, new ones kept showing up, but it was nice to see someone so hopeful, she would not say anything about that. Not something to argue over. “We will see what happens. After tonight and the next few days. Some things are planned, some things we don’t really know what to do about. It is nice to have the offer, whatever help it might turn out to be.” The was the short term issue, hopefully, with Reika and Mitsuko healing. Then they still had to figure out the big question with Shinigami. Other more positive changes too, seeing how living together with Mitsuko and it seemed Shinigami was going to work. Helping train Mitsuko as a Magical Girl, probably other things. Umi might have been pleased by a new surprise, but she was happy with what she was getting as well. Would just take more of that. Though it was unfortunate it was getting close to the end. She would have loved to feel this a while longer. But she did not know how much control over all this Shinigami had, whether she was capable of doing it like this much longer than she was. Rather than risk rushing it, or making Shinigami uncomfortable, she did not say anything, just let Shinigami be encouraged by the noises she was making, and her body’s other very positive reactions.

More information was out there now. Better or worse. Jumi assumed at this point that Tenshi was at least aware of Kaida’s true nature, to speak this openly about it. Though it was not clear if she was a Magical Girl too, or just someone who was aware. “No team, completely by yourself?” She indirectly asked. It was not ideal to reveal yourself to a random civilian, but she assumed Kaida had a good reason, if Tenshi was in fact a civilian. She would not dwell on that though, let Jaida answer or not however she chose. She instead shifted focus to the offer, wanting to verify the details. “Well, we will follow the plan. Eat first, take you to the temple to meet Shinigami, but exactly what are you proposing we do from there?” It would probably be too awkward to do anything long term. Nothing like being proper teammates, but help might be useful. It would also be useful to Mitsuko to have Kaida around while she was at school. Not a place Jumi could visit incredibly frequently. Umi could not think very clearly right now. But she did not know when she might get another chance like this. Whether or not Shinigami had any more unique surprises for her, she wanted more of this. She did not know if she would ever feel anything like this again, if she did, it probably would not be soon. “…y, yes, mm more…!” Her voice filled with desire for more. Trusting Shinigami to go further but not too far. That at great as it felt so far, as much as she appreciated the gentle touch, she wanted a taste of something more at the end. A hint of what else could be experienced.

Anything else Jumi might have said about Mao was distracted by Nall’s talk. She felt some sypathy for him, had to address that both to try to make him feel better and since she had been there for everything except that first attack. “It isn’t your fault Nall.” She was a little careful how she said it, not sure if Tenshi was a Magical Girl or aware of what Kaida was, if not. “She has had a few very difficult days. Most people, Magical Girl or not, don’t have to experience being attacked by a goddess without warning. It was great she managed to get to the convention. The rest, I’m as responsible or more than you. Some of it, as much as I don’t like it was unavoidable or turned out a lot better than it could have. I intend to be more careful. Not let more of this happen.” Going along with Shinigami had been the only option, to avoid anyone dying. But now they had a Shinigami much closer to them and unlikely to kill except in self defense or defense of her or Mitsuko. They did the right thing, but had to be careful about doing something like that again. Reika was not Nall’s fault. He was not there. She maybe should have tried harder to talk Mitsuko out if it. She just had to, with some unease and reluctance, trust Reiko about her being returned healed and that she would ‘like what she saw’. But she did not want to say too much about that. Umi was still not entirely sure what she feeling. If there was some purpose to it other than maybe increasing pleasure. A tighter fit, but so far at least not getting stuck and she was not sure if that was even possible. It was a very interesting felling though. Much more intense than last time. She gave off a frequent mix of moaning and groaning. A slight hint of discomfort, but mixed with the more intense pleasure. She did not want it to stop. “More…more…as much…as you can do.” She definitely did not want Shinigami to rush this. As last time, to go as long as she could. Also open to any other surprises Shinigami had. She did not know if this was the full trick, or Shinigami had more surprises for her as she kept going.

Jumi watched Nall a little, but was glad the other two showed up before long. It seemed to have went well, no contact with Reika. Kaida mentioned a wound, one she kind of remembered seeing while exhausted in the bath. Though she did not really know anything about it and was unsure if Shinigami did either. It was not something she was inclined to ask about. Maybe better not to know about it, after learning more about Reika. She was not inclined to ask Mao either, especially while eating. Though she was eating at a more normal pace now. “I could not tell you anything about that, but I’m glad it went well.” She was still trying to figure out what to think about Reika, but Mao seemed to be closer to Shinigami, no reason to have any negative feeling about her. A new position. It looked like Umi would get more of a taste of the beast after all. She tried to secure herself. Pushing the knees into to the sheets and gripping them with her hands. But there was something new this time after all. Something she had not felt before. The soft moaning and familiar pleasure interrupted by something more. She groaned mostly in surprise. Maybe some discomfort. But not bad enough for her to want it to stop. She took a moment to get used to it, figure out how much more she would feel it. “…Still…had a surprise for me?” She could only guess if this was something unique to Shinigami.

Jumi and Hikaru took seats and waited the last moment for Tenshi to bring their food. They had been permission to eat, though Jumi took her time wile giving Nall encouragement. "You have been patient, don't take your time for our sakes. Though hopefully Kaida and Mao will be able to join before they are done." She said as she had taken a few bites, Hikaru only eating mildly faster. This had been Kaida's idea, so she would prefer for the three of them not to already be done by the time she was back. But she was not going to go so slow to let the food go cold or anything like that. Worst case, Kaida could be offered food at the temple when they went to meet Shinigami in a little while. This meal and the examination of Mao perhaps being the last things before they headed over. "Well, now you are making it hard to choose." Shinigami had a way with words and technique, it was getting a little difficult to choose one. This was enjoyable, if not in the same way. But she was tempting with what she already knew, but more intense. Something new. And now it was back in the familiar place. Part of her wanted to feel Shinigami end in the back, part of her wanted to feel this new suggestion. It was a very difficult choice. She was not going to pushy, not try to ask for both. Let Shinigami decide if she wanted to change her mind on that. Perhaps settle on a more simple answer. "But if I must choose, the one you think will be most enjoyable for both of us." She had a guess what that meant. That it might deny the symbolic pleasure of Shinigami finishing in all three places, but it might still be better this way.

Jumi would not have minded playing with dog a little longer, but it was probably best to eat. Especially not to keep Nall waiting, with how hungry he was. Giving one last short toss of the ball to the dog, one that he could catch and play on his own if he wanted, she and Hikaru let Tenshi lead the two of them to their meal and a probably rather hungry Nall. Hopefully Kaida and Mao would join before they ate too much. Umi let out a soft moan to Shinigami’s other touches. A nice boost, to help what she was feeling below. Perhaps nice, pleasant, but she was not sure how much pleasure she would get out of it. If this alone could give her one of the orgasms. But like her mouth, she looked forward to the experience. The talk of being rougher was appealing too, just unfortunate she might not feel it from the other side. Was there something a little different in Shinigami too? She was not sure if she felt something that was not there before. But now Shinigami was going again. Enjoyable, but not that same pleasure from earlier. “…Think…I’m ready…for rougher, when you are.” She encouraged Shinigami, not to rush it, but she could go rougher when she thought the moment was right.

Jumi nodded, confirming Tenshi’s suspicions. “Kaida asked to examine Mao, she was okay with it. Don’t know exactly what they are doing, but she said they would be back soon. Decided to try this while waiting for them.” Hikaru, seeing that the dog seemed to want him to join in, picked up the ball and threw it in Jumi’s direction, but light enough the dog could catch and take it to Jumi, if he wanted. “Not sure if it is best to wait here for them, or go in now.” Jumi continued, letting Tenshi give advice on the next step they took. See if it mattered just how soon Kaida and Mao were back. Hopefully there were no issues, or Reika wanting to have an unpleasant private chat during the examination. Another surprise position shift. Her bedding probably already needed to be cleaned, so Umi had no issue there. She focused on keeping herself prepared, no idea how this might feel. Possibly a little nervous, but not in a bad way, she still wanted it to happen. The only thing left Shinigami might be able to do to her that she had not experienced yet. Then it went in. Different, not the immediate direct pleasure she felt from the other side. But still an interesting feel. And knowing the sort of thing Shinigami might do now, she was eager for more, but would let Shinigami do it her way. Wait and see how she did it. “Different, not bad.” She gave her initial evaluation, too soon to know how it might go from here.
