Fantasy Cursed Island

"You may, but it's not required. I know how to account for your current clothes when taking my measurements."

 

[Darkling0096]

Emfa nodded and got up from the table, "Let's make this happen," then she paused, "I don't wear skirts."

 

[Fangs9090]

Erina nodded as she got up as well, spinning a length of thread. "That's fair. On that note, I will need to borrow someone's pants to learn how they're put together."

 

[Darkling0096]

"I have already loaned you a pair of mine, and you have not returned them," Joanne sounded confused, "Are they really that mistifying?"

 

[Fangs9090]

"Have you?" Erina glanced towards her loom. "Oh dear... I may need to reorganize my workspace..."

 

[Darkling0096]

"We have gotten too comfortable here," Joanne decided, shaking her head.

 

[Fangs9090]

"Mm, anyway. Let's get you measured." Erina walked over to Emfa with her threads.

 

[Darkling0096]

Emfa sighed and spread her arms to be measured. Veo looked around and realized she'd lost Emil, scrambling to go find him.

 

[Fangs9090]

Erina took the measurements as quickly as she could while still getting it done properly.

Emil hadn’t gone far, finding a place to sit with the violin. He was checking as he usually did with instruments, even though it didn’t need to be tuned.

 

[Darkling0096]

With lunch done, Jerry rememered there was a certain golem that had been making things complicated yesterday, and went to go find and corner Shuffle.

"You scared me again," Veo shook her head, "Emil, what if you'd passed out again?"

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle had gone to run around with Fia. The two of them had nothing to work on, so they were passing the time playing together again.


Emil looked over at Veo. "Ah, sorry. I didn't go far. I've been wanting to play something. I haven't had the chance to properly try this out."

 

[Darkling0096]

"Shuffle, can I talk to you in my tent?", Jerry asked, deciding the soundproof tent would be about as private as they could get for this conversation.


Veo nodded and sat down near him. Emil's music was usually quite beautiful. "Go on," she smiled and folded her hands on her lap.

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle looked over as she and Fia paused their playing. She glanced at Fia before heading over. She'd forgotten what she'd done by this point.


Emil dipped his and held the instrument ready. He paused a moment, as he usually did, before he began playing a calm melody.

 

[Darkling0096]

Jerry waited until Shuffle was in the tent before shutting and bolting the door, turning to point Shuffle towards the desk chair. "Sit down." Once Shuffle was seated, the smile vanished. "Shuffle, I want you to explain to me why you told Niudisa about the lingerie incident."


Veo smiled and closed her eyes as Emil played, he was quite good, as usual.

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle as told before her ears went back. Oh, she was in trouble. "Uh... She brought it up and said I'd get an extra piece of meat if I told her the story. It didn't seem like a big deal, so I told her."

 

[Darkling0096]

Jerry frowned. "And why did she want to know?" She knew Niudisa previously had an inkling, Jerry herself had questioned to the fairy 'If I broke it, then why am I still a woman?', but now Niudisa was blackmailing her with information she got from Shuffle, that Shuffle had no business distributing.

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle shrugged. "I didn't ask. Should I not have told her?"

 

[Darkling0096]

"No, Shuffle, you shouldn't have. You don't go telling people about serious events in other people's past without that person's permission."

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle lowered her head. "I'm sorry. I didn't know it was that important..." Shuffle had been growing all kinds of different things since being freed. To her, Jerry becoming a woman, plus all the other growths, was just another thing that happened.

 

[Darkling0096]

Jerry sighed, and palmed her face for a moment, "Shuffle, Niudisa is using that information against me. You, me, and Joanne were the only ones that knew. And now because you've told Niudisa, she's using that against me and I had to tell Asta."

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle looked down. "I'm sorry..."

 

[Darkling0096]

Jerry sat on the bed, "Yeah, well actions have consequences." How, in three days, had Shuffle gotten so completely on Jerry's bad side. "Now I have to figure out what I'm going to do if Niudisa blabs, and you need to try and convince her not to."

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle considered that for a moment before she nodded. "I think I can do that."

 

[Darkling0096]

"Good," Jerry nodded, going to unlock the door. "Go do that." Once Shuffle was out, she looked down at Poli, "Not a word."

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle nodded and headed on out to find Niudisa.

“I didn’t hear a thing. I was zoned out.”
