A third time

[divinitysoiled]

Characters: Catarina and YOU!
Setting: October 15th, floor 38
Format: Start action, will match prose
Summary: It was easy to find candy at first, but now it's getting a little hard to breathe...
Warnings: Sexual suggestiveness (lol succubus)

[It was easy at first. The outfit was ridiculous, but it wasn't as if she was against the cut and height of the skirt. She hadn't quite understood what was going on at first, but when she got it, it was easy to find candy.]

[At first.]

[She hadn't thought much of it at first. It was already tight, what was a little extra tightness? But now it was too much. And now she was on her hands and knees, searching around the chairs for anything. One little piece of candy]

True

[puppy_lancer]

[He steps onto the staircase.]

Up or down?

[divinitysoiled]

I've been moving downward, so it probably fits to continue, hm? [She moved towards the stairs]

[puppy_lancer]

Fine by me.

[He waits for her to step onto the stairs, and then starts to go down himself.]

[divinitysoiled]

[Catarina palmed her knife as they descended, starting to get worried. The outfit had just tightened again, enough that she could definitely feel it. She didn't worry about getting enough for today, but the next days...?]

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer seems significantly more relaxed, but the truth is that his outfit is tightening too.]

Hey...

[Now was as good of a time as ever to tell her about Ayaka.]

What if I told you someone really close to me is in the tower now?

[divinitysoiled]

Oh? [She turned to look at him, smiling a little] That sounds like a good thing for you.

[puppy_lancer]

Yeah...but...look, I've got obligations to her. Really heavy ones. So I guess I'm not gonna have so much free time anymore.

[It's hard to explain, but he hopes she'll get the drift.]

[divinitysoiled]

I see. She must mean more to you than what it appears.

[puppy_lancer]

She means...a lot. I think I'm gonna have to prioritize her. Not that it means I'm ignoring you. Or that you aren't a good woman. Hell, I'll even introduce you to her if I get the chance.

[divinitysoiled]

[That smile? That's not a good smile on a human woman, much less a succubus. Though points for her thinking "I'm going to do horrible things to her vagina" instead of wishing harm upon Ayaka?] I see.

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer freezes up, the smile sending a chill down his spine.]

Uh...this was something that we worked out back when I was still in my own world.

[His expression turns serious.]

So don't try to hurt her. Please.

[divinitysoiled]

I wouldn't hurt her. [Have sex with her until she passed out didn't count, right?]

[puppy_lancer]

[He lets out a sigh of relief.]

That's great. Would hate if I had to do anything to you for her sake.

[Still, he's a little unnerved by that smile.]

She's a good kid. You might like her.

[divinitysoiled]

I would like to meet her at some point.

[puppy_lancer]

That would be great.

[Unless Ayaka got scared or something.]

[Throughout the entire conversation, he's been sniffing at the air, trying to see if any areas smell more like blood or monsters than the rest. To his consternation, all the places smelled exactly the same.]

Tch. Monsters. Never around when you need them.

[divinitysoiled]

It seems they have become as scarce as the candy. [She took a shallow breath, concerned]

[puppy_lancer]

Fucking admins. Always making things difficult.

[For him, collecting candy wasn't just about avoiding a humiliating death. It was about staying alive to fulfill his duty to Ayaka.]

[divinitysoiled]

We should continue onward. It does us no good to stay here and talk.

[puppy_lancer]

How fast can you go?

[Time, and therefore speed, would be crucial here.]

[divinitysoiled]

[She smiled] Ready to find out?

[puppy_lancer]

...I'll come back for you if can't catch up.

[He starts running, at speeds that are relatively slow for him.]

[divinitysoiled]

[And off she goes, easily keeping up with him]

[puppy_lancer]

[He throws a look behind him. When he finds her easily following, he increases his speed.]

[divinitysoiled]

[She laughed breathily and kept up, easily increasing her speed]

[puppy_lancer]

[Well, it seems she can keep up easily enough. He continues running at that speed until he comes to floor 37.]

Not bad.
