>To Silver. Generally give her some praise for how well she fought last night.
>I'm glad you're ok, I'm worried how hungry I am since last night..."
There's an odd humming noise "in response", like the ambient discharge of an electric sphere. Ah. Given what you've observed of your mysterious companion, Silver is currently fast asleep. The pleasant sound she emits is merely snoring. Human in most capacities, yet you've never heard of any race of man who bleeds golden blood...
You leave her be for now and turn to your longtime friend, who is currently preparing her backpack.
>Give her a hug and say you're glad she's alright, try to fluster her with how hungry you are and tease her about it. Then find your mind lingering on the idea of her inside you, concerning you.
You return the favor from before and wrap your arms around her from behind. Being a head taller than her allows you to use her head as a chinrest, much to her chagrin. You don't start teasing her immediately. First, you have a few words of praise.
"I'm just glad you made it out okay, Green," you say softly. "Things were getting tight last night. Tight and out of sight. You and Silver really did some great work back there. If you weren't there to protect me, I don't think we could have ever stopped Black from harassing us like that."
(You ignore Black's intrusion.)
"Ah." Green pauses her inventory sorting. "Well, we're a team, aren't we? You can count on me, Blue."
"Mmhm. You're a good girl, Green." You let the nice moment simmer for a while, just between you and her. It's good to have a friend in this wide, wild world of yours. "Greeeeeeeeeeen."
"What is it now, Blue?" She knows what's coming.
"I'm hungrrryyyyyy." It's good to have a friend to tease, too.
"We both are, Blue!" Green exclaims, starting to throw items into her bag willy-nilly. "Just give me a moment! I can't pack so fast with you hanging over me like a big raincloud!"
"Well now, Green. Green. I could just eat you." You lean forward a little more. Put the pressure on her, physically and metaphorically. "Boy! I really could gobble you up right now. I actually am that hungry, you cute little snack, you."
Green doesn't say a word or turn around, but you know she's flushed in the face at the thought. She's seriously considering your offer.
So are you, you realize with a tinge of guilt. You would like to give her that deep hug, hold her close, put her in your mouth. Feel her wriggle around in your guts for a few hours. Longer even. A familiar weight and sensation. And yet, you can't quite help but feel responsible for this state of affairs.
Ah. Unsavory memories are being dredged up again. Floating up like oil and flotsam from the ocean of your soul. When you were both younger, much younger, you were a little more aggressive than you were today. Perhaps one could say you used to be one of those cute little girls who enjoyed boys' books and games, with all the roughhousing they entail. It was on that mild, rainy day when you were watching over Green that you had the brilliant idea to...
Ah, it's too embarrassing. But you did have a hand in her being like this, nonetheless.
The two of you remain still, locked by the sudden tension. You lost in memories, and her in the here and now.
"So, uh. Blue." Green's voice drags you up to dry land. "I'm ready to go now. Can you get your boobs off me?"
"Oh. Sorry!" You let her go and quietly gather composure.
"Blue, where did you want to go again?"
"It's been decided, Green. For breakfast, let us partake in..."
>SLIME! You've seen a few hopping gelatin things on the horizon. It's sweet and filling as well, but you'll have to catch one first.
"Dessert for breakfast? Sure. I heard they do such things in the Empire."
"Mostly for us at the University, really. Not quite common for the commoner types." It feels good to be a magician. "Ready?"
"Forward!" Green points dramatically.
"And forever," you chime in. Onwards!
[...]
The sun is shining down through the blue and boundless sky, and the world feels rich, full of green promise.
The difference between the Far Lands and the familiar world is as sharp as the division between midnight and morning and you walk along the edge in peace. To your left is a river running through the rolling hills covered in flowers of all sorts. The sounds of rushing freshwater like the murmurs of intertwined lovers. The birds sing a pretty song and there's music in the air. A simple view to fill your heart and please the capricious gods.
To your right is the stark blackstone cliff face that marks the beginnings of the Far Lands. It's as if a tremendous stonecutter had neatly measured and sliced a chunk of the earth and pulled with all of his might, laying bare the veins of the earth to the sky, then left the remainder of his mysterious work to be finished at the end of the world. Yes, a diorama of caves and cliffs. Stones suspended in the air like the clouds in the sky. Hardly anything can be seen beyond the mouths of those yawning cavities, portals to the great lost cities under the earth, entire kingdoms sunken and lost to the depths with all of their illimitable treasures and terrors beyond compare...
Green is whistling to herself, gathering a few herbs and flowers for her poison concoctions.
You travel in silence. Your mind is not facing the world but turned inwards to other matters. Particularly the case of-
(Ruby Quest OST - Just Kidding)
https://youtu.be/wGPYPGyC5A0Black seems eerily aware of your intentions. No use in thinking about other matters. You start rubbing your belly as you prepare to talk to your passenger. Aloud, of course, despite the occasional hungry glances backwards from Green.
"Yeeeesssss, valued customer?" Black purrs with her peculiar timbre. Despite her youthful looks, her voice belongs to a full grown woman at least three times her age. The contrast is utterly disorienting even before the bizarre mannerisms.
"Black," you say. So she can speak in proper Imperial.
"Blue."
"Let's talk."
"So talk we shall. You don't need to be so uptight about this. I haven't gone anywhere as you can see." She jiggles of her own accord. You grimace. "Does my presence here bruise you so? You only have yourself to blame for this state of affairs."
>"You seem kind of happy in there. You like hanging from me that much?"
>"You're taking this pretty well, all things considered." Give wherever she resides most a good hearty shake and squeeze. "Any reason you were so eager?
You give your exposed paunch another squeeze, feeling the warmth of whole person contained within. (Vaguely, you feel as if you've forgotten something back at the camp...
)
"I must admit that I have never ever been absorbed before. That spell of yours gave me... an opportunity. What was that spell again? 'A BITE OF WONDERLAND CAKE'? Yes... An scrumptious opportunity to explore these novel sensations of adipose, fullness, and softness, with a delicious passion."
"So you're saying I could have politely asked you to jump in my stomach and stop bothering us?"
"Oh no, I was fully intent on slicing you all into cute red ribbons." If she wasn't a part of you right now, you can imagine her smiling even wider from her half-mask. "You give me an ambush, I cut you in return. A fair exchange of blows, no?"
"So much talk of fairness and clean deals... but you come to our camp at night and tell me terrible things that I can't and don't want to remember!" Some are spells, some are secrets, but they all disappear in the morning like a bad dream. "What gives?!"
"You poor, foolish adventurer. I am only trying to give you the assistance you so desire. Let's use the words 'it's on the house.' A favor from my own vault of volition and good deeds. From me to you."
"Why?"
You swear you can hear Black sniggering just over your shoulder, in a corner of your mind. This is getting nowhere. Aren't you supposed to be in charge here? You've already digested her!
>"Hey, what should I do if I see a clown?"
"You needn't worry about that, my child. Just do what comes natural," Black states as vaguely and matter-of-fact as ever. You bite your lip. Her constant cryptic comments chafe you considerably.
"For that remark," you say, with growing frustration. "I think I'll keep you in here for a long time. My own belly slave. Tit for tat. An equivalent exchange, no?"
Black only laughs and laughs, in that same high and mocking way when you can't buy something from her. You growl but fall silent as she abruptly stops.
"Do you not think that I can burst out of here and kill you if I so choose?" Black states in the same tone as before. Her words are light, but ring true. You freeze up.
"W-What?" Death walks across your grave. Your eyes dart around. You definitely can't cast a spell in time. Nor can Green's regurgitation medicine act that fast to get out the danger within you. "Black, please..."
The merchant-turned-mush snickers quietly. "Just kidding."
You barely manage to maintain composure. Good grief! You slap Black with a thoroughly indignant expression before mentally shutting out the rest of her maniacal cackling.
"Is she that unruly in there?" Green is looking at you concerned. She saw the whole thing.
"Indeed, Green. I am beginning to doubt my previous state of mind in my decision to consume her..." you huff. Your stomach growls more insistently than before. Not only has Black ruined your moon, but you swear she's also completely ruined your appetite. "Now, I could have sworn there were a few slimes about by this creek..."
"Well, there's one right there, Blue." Green points straight into the distance.
"Ah. Good timing!"
A red slimegirl in a gooey fascimile of armror and helmet is waving to the both of you. She seems quite pleased at having some company over. Her smile is utterly innocent.
You'll feel somewhat bad about doing this, but... Apple? Strawberry? Cherry, maybe? Hopefully not that awful blood pudding again. You and Green share a look ("Shall we?" "Let's.") before appraoching...
[???] Suddenly! The entire world seems to swell obscenely to the point of bursting, then snaps back.
>Black jiggles and guffaws.
>99!!!
(Terraria Journey's End OST: Slime Rain)
https://youtu.be/CHSY3tl9Gs4There's a sudden clap of thunder throughout the clear skies. You, Green, and Red look around in shock.
"What!"
"Guh?"
"Woah!!!"
In front of your eyes, the clouds begin to swirl around in doubletime and gain a distinctive, "dripping" shape as they hang in the air. It's-
"Blue, it's a slimeshower!" Slime is falling from the sky!
"Drat!"
Green seems pumped up! The oozing promise of SLIMEY LOOT beckons her as a rogue.
Red has a frown on her face. Hmm? Usually, most sapient slimes tend to their own lesser siblings in the wild.
Taking care not to have it knocked off your head by a falling chunk of slime, you hold onto your hat and consider what to do next...
>There's one right here! And one over there! And another! Goodness, there's a lot of slimes! Just take one! ("I'd knock on one to see if it's ripe, kinda like a melon, but then my hand'll get digested...")
>Grab the red slime and go! ("That one! Dine and dash!" "Ready when you are.")
>Stand around! Wait for a REAL big one. Hehe. ("While we're waiting, can I rub-" "No." "Aww.")
>WRITE IN.
How do you want to do it? These slimes won't just hop into your mouth, you lazy novice mage! Maybe...
>CAST A SPELL? You begin channeling the mana in the area and let inspiration guide you... (Goes to a secondary vote.)
>Just lie down, open your mouth, and wait for rain. ("Uhhhh." After considering her options, Green sits down and joins you.)
>WRITE IN.
