Fantasy Cursed Island

[Fangs9090]

Emil nodded. “Because you can’t just unsummon her.” He paused. “She’s also a spider, so there is a certain amount of creepiness about her.”

 

[Darkling0096]

"What's creepy to you and me is different," Adran shrugged, "I kinda like that about her, though, familiarity's easier to work with, and her legs go on for miles."

 

[Fangs9090]

Emil chuckled. “Ah, so you’re a leg man, huh?”

 

[Darkling0096]

Adran just laughed, "There's a lot to a woman, the legs are only one part."

 

[Fangs9090]

“Well, of course. But most men have a favorite part.”

 

[Darkling0096]

"Oh, yeah?", Adran raised an eyebrow, and "What about you two?", he gestured between Emil and Asta.

------------
Down in the camp as the girls were filtering back in from their bath, Jerry was pacing around, covered by Poli as predicted. By the knives embedded in the trees she'd taken out her anger on the campsite, hopefully she didn't break anything.

 

[Fangs9090]

“Me?” Emil thought for a moment. “I’ll admit, I’m rather fond of the bust, in any size.”

Asta looked at them for a moment. “I haven’t understood most of what you two have been talking about.”

—————

Shuffle almost forgot, but she stopped halfway back to camp to ask Nyah to get her a gem. A really good one.

The others made sure to give Jerry plenty of space.

 

[Darkling0096]

"Figured as much," Adran shook his head at Emil's response. He was with Veo, after all. "We're talking about the parts of a woman we find most beautiful," he explained to Asta, "Like her legs, or her chest. What part of Jerry do you like the most?"

------------------
"You want a gem?", Nyah thought about that for a moment, "For some things, it takes time to summon, it has to do with how my magic works. If you want something of too high value it'll take hours to conjure."

 

[Fangs9090]

Asta blinked. “I...hadn’t taken her apart like that before. I like all of her.”

—————

Shuffle frowned. “Mm... Joanne said we had to apologize when we got back to camp though... Can you get something that’s close to a gem?”

 

[Darkling0096]

"We don't mean like in-pieces," Adran laughed, "Parts of her appearance. Do you like her pretty face, the shape of her figure, so on." If women could be taken apart and put back together Adran certainly wouldn't be with Erina, he'd have long built his ideal woman and been living live in a nice house somewhere.

----------------------
"Do you need to apologize with a gift, though?", Nyah asked, "I can produce gemlike objects, of course, but do you really think that's what you need?"

 

[Fangs9090]

Asta nodded. “As I said, I like all of her, equally. I can’t find a feature I prefer over the others.”

—————

“I...thought it might help. Let her know I really mean it.”

 

[Darkling0096]

Adran was impressed. That potion did a number on the chimera. "Let it never be said the beast wasn't pure," he chuckled, shaking his head. He peeked around the corner and found the coast clear this time. "Alright, we're clear."

---------------------
"It might get her to give you the time to speak," Nyah offered. She snapped her fingers, a small fabric pouch appearing in the air for Shuffle to catch, filled with small colorful crystals. "They're rainbow obsidian," Nyah explained, "Not true gems, but just as beautiful in the right light."

 

[Fangs9090]

Emil nodded and stood up, stretching. “Ah, good. I’ve had more than my fill.”

Asta likewise stood and stretched.

—————

Shuffle caught the pouch and took a peek inside before closing it up again and smiling at Nyah. “Thank you!” She quickly turned and headed on to camp.

 

[Darkling0096]

Adran gave a thumbs-up and went to get dry and dressed again.

-------------
Nyah smiled and followed behind far enough away that she could see what happened without shadowing Shuffle.

 

[Fangs9090]

Emil stepped out to begin doing the same.

Asta just got out and shook himself off. It was the best he could do on his own.

—————

Shuffle slowed down once she reached the camp, and she started hesitating once she actually caught sight of Jerry. She stopped a moment to take a breath before walking over.

 

[Darkling0096]

Jerry stopped pacing and snatched up her tail when she caught sight of Shuffle, making sure to keep the appendage in her grasp and not where Shufffle could grab it, narrowing her eyes at the golem.

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle put her ears, keeping her head low as she held out the pouch. She stayed quiet for the moment.

 

[Darkling0096]

"What?", Jerry raised an eyebrow.

"She's trying to apologize," Veo called on her way to Erina.

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle nodded. “I’m sorry for...all of that. I wanted to give you this so you know I mean it.”

 

[Darkling0096]

Jerry didn't take the pouch, continuing to eye Shuffle and keep a hold on her tail. The rogue wasn't looking very kindly on Shuffle at the moment. "What did you do?" She wanted to hear Shuffle say it.

------------------
Over at Erina's workspace, Veo made her way over, "I have a favor to ask."

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle looked down. "I'm sorry for dragging you by your tail."

----------

Erina looked over from where she was reviewing her supplies. "I'll do what I can. What did you need?"

 

[Darkling0096]

"Exactly, you dragged me by the tail." Jerry pointed at the tip where Shuffle had grabbed her, "This is a sensitive organ, how would you feel if I dragged you around by the fins?"

------------------
"It's about Fia," Veo explained. "She's started... filling out, since we got here, and I don't think the strip of cloth she's been using is going to do the trick anymore."

 

[Fangs9090]

"That would hurt... I'm sorry."

----------

"Oh? Mine works well enough. Does she need a larger wrap?"

 

[Darkling0096]

"Thank you." Jerry seemed to have calmed down a bit, but she still hadn't let go of her tail or taken what Shuffle had offered her. "Don't you have Fia or Nyah to go play with?"

-------------------
Veo shook her head. "No, I was thinking more like proper underwear. Wearing a strip of cloth to bind your chest has its own problems."

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle looked at Jerry again. "Yeah, but I wanted to apologize first."

----------

Erina raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by 'proper underwear'? If it holds me in place, it's fine. I don't see what more it needs."
