He other girl was remaining quiet, maybe it was better if this Dalton guy interacted with her. Dai might have had trouble with someone like that. That was Ryoko’s thought anyway. She did not get involved in the conversation between Maray and Dalton, could he pay for it though? If he had the job she was worried about, she had to wonder. Not like she had much cash though. Mister fancy idol manager had a good chance of having the deepest pockets of the four, not that he showed it off much, the suit he wore even to a place like this being the biggest hint. Dai gave another small hint, handing Maray the money for himself and Ryoko, plus a decent tip. “Nice as usual. But don’t spect too many favors as reward.” She noted as she began to drink. She would pay him back a little later. With money. Dai already understood she had complicated feelings, even in a place like this, about doing ‘favors’ in return for buying something. She might do it from time to time, but it felt too much like a job she was trying to avoid. Dai tried to avoid any tension over the name by addressing Maray’s other question. “I was the first in the line, did not see me ch behind me. While there were others, we don’t seem to have a big crowd yet.” That was his impression at least, from what he heard behind him, and watching people come in after he was in.

I will rely on your research. It is something I know nothing about (hence my characters making requests for recommendations). I’ll go look and maybe get a reply in among maybe a few others tonight.

Ah, Nall was being cute about this. Jumi coukd give him a proper washing. Most, if not all of his body. She would not intionallly do anything to…excite him. But maybe she would be thorough in the washing. But she could wait a little before deciding that. “Alright, let’s get this done good. First time?” For a guardian like Nalll, usually in a world of gods and such, she actually did wonder if he even needed or had such cleaning in the past. It seemed like it would be difficult for him to wash himself, beyond soaking in water, with a body like that. She used her hand to pour some water on him, working down his body with several handfuls, not yet getting the shampoo on him, as she waited for the answer. She did not immediately respond to the talk of Shinigami working on her, after Mitsuko finished washing Shinigami, though she did look forward to it, she would have to make sure to give Nall a good washing first, at least his body being small helped.

Almost as soon as they sat, the other pair found their way over. Well, it was not too surprising. This was the place people were most likely to go after the lobby, especially while the crowd was still light. The four of them might together until those two went off to discuss their business, They probably were not followed for the reasons Ryoko was worried about. She remained a little edgy, though, but did not intend to talk about it here. “Something hard. To drink.” She quickly added, knowing what Maray had below. That sort of hardness would come later. Though it remained to be seen from who. She kept her joke to herself about what the man, Dalton said. Maray could choose whether or not to tell him about the ‘eel’ she had. “Your recommendation, for something lighter. I might have to watch her first a bit.” Dai answered Maray, he would have introduced himself to the other pair maybe, but Maray gave their names. No harm in their first names being known at least. Ryoko was probably overthinking things, though he could not blame her, in her position. Either way, first names were probably harmless. “Careful about giving Ryoko too much to drink, she might be tempted to dance on stage.” The customers were paying for a good show, attractive as Ryoko was, no one probably wanted to watch a drunk woman with no dancing experience flail around on stage…probably. Ryoko might also regret it the next day.

Alexandrine looked to the face that waved her over. Not a familiar one, but even she did not know everyone who came here. So many teams from such a wide area. And this was her convention in a few years, there would have been a number who started in her inactive days that she missed finding about. Not helped by how distracted she had been. Only interacting with a small number. What she said was a little strange though. ”Dark aura?” A Knight with a dark aura? That was a little unsettling, though she could only hope she was not giving off such now. “Exactly what do you mean?” Just a less pleasant personality? Or something truly darker? The name mentioned made her uneasy too. Maybe she should head to Elie’s soon after all. Not just for the apology, but she waited a little to see if she could be told anymore, to get an idea if it was a real threat to Elie or not. She had to hope Rin could find Emi. In the worst case though, she might have to leave without Emi.

I might or might not get one in before bed. If I don’t get one in in the next hour or so, feel free to get your post in, Chiyako. If I don’t get it in tonight, I’ll probably get one in early tomorrow.

Then I’ll wait for that, was quieter than I expected today, have some other replies to do elsewhere.

Jumi was offering to wash, but found it amusing Nall initially misunderstood. She did not intend to be mean about it, but found the idea of continuing that sort of thing long term amusing. To see just how much he did or did not care about these sorts of things. If things someday git too tense, hopefully that goddess would send him something to help. As for Shinigami and Mitsuko, she did not mind being heard, and even if it was completely innocent, it was nice to watch, she might not overly stare, but she was not going to look away either. ”Frisky hmm? A fair enough description of me and my influence.” She had an influence on Mitsuko at least, though Shinigami contributed. “I do get ‘frisky’ with both men and women, to be fair. But we would need to be the same size and shape for me to be tempted to do that to you. “ If he was something like a male Shinigami, well, maybe she would gave given him that sort of attention. As he was now, he did not have to worry about more than a little teasing. Too much physical incompatibility. She made no attempt to grab him or take initiative to do it, instead she leaned back, relaxing, letting the water do its work. “It’s up to you though. A boy should ask a girl when it comes to these things.” She of course was not going to stop the joking, completely innocent offers that could be taken another way.

I won’t do too much before Gard replies, but will probably get at least one reply in tonight.

No rush. When you are back, can see whether Maray gives a reply to just my characters at first, or all four, depending on what Dalton does, whether he cares to investigate Ryoko running off like she did.

Jumi found the whole thing with Mitsuko and Shinigami cute, maybe she would join in in a few minutes, but it was interesting to watch, especially since Mitsuko seemed rather into it. It probably would just be a watching, at least that was what it looked like so far. She was in no rush to do more than soak, herself. But then Nall came over to her. She did not try to tease him with her own body, but did not try to hide anything either. There was no harm letting look, if he wanted, but might find it cute if the sight was something embarrassing to look at too closesly. “They might.” Jumi agreed with his observation. “But it will probably be worth the show.” Even if it stayed innocent, Jumi found something appealing in the sight, both the bodies on display, not hiding anything. Watching Shinigami truly enjoy something was a benefit too. ”Though if you are feeling dirty, I could probably pass some of that time washing you.” It was mostly a joke, a little friendly teasing, wondering if it would make him shy. But at the same time, she was not against doing it.

I got them to the bar.

Between the space between them, and not watching, Dai and Ryoko were not seeing much anymore. Not hearing everything. Though they did pick up some of what was being said, they just appeared to be a second pair, like the two they were watching. Dai and Ryoko had of course crossed that line with each other, more than once, though it was not especially frequent. “If you were that bold, maybe you would have got there first.” Ryoko softly whispered with some amusement. Whether a side effect of his job, or some other circumstance, Dai was never quite so quick or one to take the lead, but he was first in line it seemed, not counting her cheating to get inside. If he spoke up quicker, maybe he would be the one sitting there talking to her. Though it was a little disappointing it sounded like they might wander off somewhere more private before it got really good. Dai just shrugged it off without comment though. That might have been fun, but he was not upset or jealous the other man beat him to it. He would probably have his chance at some future point, if the girl kept coming back. Some of the other talk made Ryoko fidget though. Business, unrelated to the sorts of things going on here. It sounded innocent enough, but with the life she lived day to day, she was always cautious. She was certainly a criminal, long time one, came with the gang life. She had to watch for both rival gangs, and the law. This place had been a haven so far, but she could not rule out the possibility someone would eventually come looking for her. Neither of those two probably had any interest in her, but it was better to be safe. “…Probably best to let them talk about ‘business’ privately.” She accidentally said louder, as she stood. “I’m going to the main bar, who knows, get drunk enough, maybe you will see me dance after all.” Dance of a sort anyways, the random squirming of a drunk woman. She quickly walked in that direction, as Dai stood and followed her, he had a degree of an idea why she was so uneasy. Neither of them said anything or looked to the other pair as they made their way to the main bar. The first customers to make it there tonight. Though there was the familiar face of the regular bartender, Maray. The two made their way towards the bar, at this Dai was mostly focused on making sure Ryoko did not get too drunk.

I’ll go see about slipping my two characters off to the main bar. Do my next post there, including moving them from the lounge. Remains to be seen if one or both try to more directly interact with those two, or if Maray ends up drawing people together. Will see if work will let me get that post in or not. If it is not up within the next hour or so work might be delaying it. Ryoko may or may not give an opening too, on the way out.

I’ll take a few minutes to catch up on reading, let you know the basic idea of what I will do, and see if you need to wait for that.

Haven’t had the chance to read the replies since my last one yet, but figure I can make it work, see whether I reply in the lounge or switch to the main bar, after I do.

Slept later than I would have liked, but have a very rare case of work from home Friday, will hopefully get a chance to reply during the day.

Umi satayed near the door to the building, as the others undressed. “Take your time. I will remain here, in case any of you need anything, that we are capable of providing.” She made no effort to join in, but gave no hint if that was because she wanted to be helpful, or give the others some privacy. Her eyes did not linger on any of the figures, it was nothing she had seen before, at least in the case of Jumi and Mitsuko, but she did not show any reaction to Shinigami either. Jumi was fairly quick to undress and gather what she needed. She was not especially surprised this was what they had for baths, though it was the first time she had seen this part of the complex. She let Nall take the lead, finding it cute and amusing, set her things at the edge of the water. Put a foot in to test the temperature. Nice and warm. She stepped in the rest of the way, let out a sigh as she relaxed, taking the moment to just enjoy it as the others got in and took their places.

I’m still up for doing things with Nadia and anyone who joins up with that group.

The other two were sitting in the small bar in the lounge. Nothing significant would happen in this area. Probably. It would be disappointing to miss what was coming by wandering somewhere else. “If you want dancers, call one of your girls. I’m sure management would let them do a guest job.” It was Ryoko’s turn to poke at Dai, as she already expected what his answer would be. “I don’t mix work and pleasure. I come here to spend time with women other than them.” It was true, those idols, a number of them at least, could probably put on a good show, but…. “It wouldn’t be good for their reputation either.” He was more in the background, as long as he was not seen with one of them here, people were unlikely to care what or who, he did. But the idols were more likely to go through a scandal if seen here. “I had originally been thinking about going to the pool, but….” Her plans were still flexible, but she was still hoping to watch the other two, possibly join in, if the opportunity presented itself. The night was long, unless the man took his time, there was probably time for many things. “We’re going to look weird if we keep standing here. Even in a place like this, should not assume they want to be watched.” Maybe one or both did, it was too soon to know. Better to do this right. Be flexible. Be in a position they could watch, if something happened, whole doing their own thing. Dai grabbed Ryoko’s hand, pulled her over to make an order of their own, but made sure to give the other pair some space, a few empty seats between them. Of course from here they had to be much more discrete on the conversation. In the previous position, they had tried to be quiet enough not to be heard, but how successful were they?

Was not up as early as I hoped. But will see if I can get one more reply in before leaving for the day.

Catherine continued to resist. Was it smart? Maybe not, but she was lacking in good options here. Her body continued to rebel against her, though not as much as she feared it might. She heard the pants unzip. The warning of something unavoidable, something she was going to have to endure soon. But, while she was breathing deeper, bit her lip, she refused to beg. She did not want this, did not see how he could make her want it enough to beg. It was bad enough her body was trying to tell him to do it, the ever increasing wetness, hips shift ping towards him as he worked and towards the zipping. She hated it, but the part of her he wanted the most was not bothered by that, or hat he was forcing it.

I was not pushing for it, not expecting much other than maybe him finding it awkward. Definitely a big no with pictures, but for text I believe under 18 stuff, or things that look like it is the only forbidden stuff for sexual content. It’s one of those things I occasionally thought about a little, when it came to Nall, but would probably take something significant happening in story to even maybe move in that direction.

It appeared it might be the whole group except for Hikaru. He did not seem bothered by it, as Jumi took Mitsuko’s hand and stood. Nall being around might be cute. Male, but not human or humanoid. She wondered how he would react. She had teased him a little by what might happen with him living with the three ladies. It did reduce the chance of anything significant happening, but it would be interesting to see how he reacted to it all. ”We will meet up later to begin the research then.” Hikaru said, as the rest of the group followed Umi out of the room, through the halls, back to the door. “It is not in this building. It is not quite an ordinary bath. But hopefully you will all find it pleasant.” She steeped outside, down the paths that connected the buildings, to one in the corner. “It shared by everyone in the temple, but no one else should come to use it for some time.” One they stepped inside, they were in a small room to undress, with some towels, soaps and shampoos, though none that were especially fancy. Through an opening, some water surrounded by rock, could be seen. “It is a natural spring, we converted into our main bath. It is nice and warm.”

There was the question of if Umi intended to join, or was going to leave Shinigami to her privacy after showing the way. She gave no hint so far on which she planned to do. Or if it depended on Jumi and Mitsuko did. If they started the research, maybe Umi would join in there. But was she more or less likely to join a group? That would remain to be seen. Jumi noted the grin on Shinigami. Did she just enjoy the idea of their company, or have other things on her mind. She and Mitsuko were a couple at this point. They were both perhaps in a relationship of sorts. Feelings were not being kept secret from Hikaru or Umi. Whatever the plan was, the two could guess what might happen, especially with the three alone. Mitsuko seemed to want to join. With it sounded like purely wholesome motives. Jumi rubbed Mitsuko’s leg a little. A sign of affection, not meant to be dirty in this case. It was just natural with Mitsuko sitting on her. “If we are going to the library, it might be good to soak a little first, relax the legs and other muscles.” She was not sure how long they would be in the library, but it would not hurt. A bath felt important to purify themselves in a temple too. Though she wondered whether they be purifying themselves, or getting more dirty.
