Start RP: A Peculiar Auction
You had arrived here not long before. A trek by airship and boat to the Wing Edge Caverns that had taken the better part of four days. All the time there had been that worry of the sea attempting to claim the sturdy and cautiously stealthy vessel but this was just another of its countless voyages into the cove. Few from above ground ever really set foot here, it was unusual being beneath what would normally be the bedrock of the world but from the immense shores of the Underwing Cove the only glow of sky came from beyond the horizon whilst the rest of the rolling rocky hills were shrouded in the perpetual darkness of dragonstone miles and miles above.
 
The little dock you turn into is a small part of an unexpectedly large settlement. Constructed up and through an immense stalagmite is the darker lower city. In many ways it paralleled the darkest hours of a modern human city in its admiration of smooth grey stone, glass, and dim illuminations from artificial lights soon seen to be bioluminescent fungus in glass domes and dire beasts used for transport. Every building also took its angles and obsessed over regular shapes and patterns. Hexagonal beams and hive structures of giant spheres of repeating shaped panels were not uncommon even if the square edges were most common.
You were guarded well by Lunoora. Her intimidating presence helping to ward off the shadows all around. Creatures from all walks of life. Drakes, Kobolds, Mice, Rats, Insectoids of all persuasions, Pokémon and Digimon that had made it here, furred creatures that seemed as out of place as you but wearing the local dark garbs and cloths. There were many times brutish boars looking like enforcers or bouncers but there were never any signs of police. The only security were private contractors protecting the assets locked up in the large sectors of the city you could not visit. Not without permission at least.
 
After an hour on foot through the streets, you turn into the establishment. A fairly glamorous establishment which even after having turned up the lights for their foreign guests had a moody, red, sensual atmosphere further emphasised by the choice of red and purple heavy silks that are used for every furnishing. Guided to your seat at this auction, a bed of fabrics that even divines would be impressed by the comfort and texture of. Truly unlike anything seen outside of the underground. Many others were placed like this, and you didn't stand out in any way. An eclectic mix of rich creatures from across the globe looking to purchase the stock from a collapsed company here in the underground. Trade here is unusual. Outside currency has no weight here, so despite being an lower member of the super rich, here you were king. A recent acquirement had led to an influx of the stamped black stone wafer that passes for currency here. Enough to buy the auction. But there was little reason for that. Most was already taken care of by other agents. You were here for one set of assets in particular.
 
The waiter comes to your seat. A male well dressed mantis in suit-like attire who offers wine, water, and some food that is laid out nicely. On request the waiting staff will switch to be more pleasing to your eye, he says, and there are indeed thousands of waiting staff to go around of the more pretty and prey like. Whilst you are settling, the first of the live goods goes up, five boar manual laborers. They get a great amount of attention, allowing you and Lunoora to enjoy a moment's rest after the long journey. But before long it's a different collection of live stock that comes up. Three attractive looking female Kobold secretaries of about 2, 3, and 4 feet tall that start getting some low ball bids, most having already spent their money on materials earlier in the auction. They look awkward, shy, worried. There is plenty of time to bid still.
…
 
 
Frazone
Lunoora takes a glass of wine and sips it gingerly. My eyes are caught by a gardevoir in a well dressed black suit top exiting the kitchen. Pointing to them I say "I want them, with a whisky on the rocks".
Sitting back and looking over the kobold I consider it. My fortunes where currently rising. I could do with someone to manage my affairs and paperwork for me, plus they were rather cute. The lack of interest and low bids sealed the deal for me has I swooped in and placed a bid right at the end.
...
 
LittleRover
The Gardevoir sweeps in when instructed, his voice emanates a regal power to it when he speaks, preparing your whisky on the rocks in an extremely quickly and skilled manner whilst displaying it to you in a carefully constructed manner that accentuates the smoothness of the whisky against the unmelting ice. He will appear to serve your every will with only a thought required to call him to your table.
As you go in for the bid, attention dries up nearly completely save for one bidder who tries a few more times to get their side in before giving up. A rat boy by the looks of it who is accompanied by what are clearly two escort mice that are giving him the wanted attention. But from his clothes and manner this is someone with limited wealth to splash around. The three Kobolds are sent off to be prepared for you and can be brought out now or after the auction.
It's followed up by some more hefty looking manual workers. You notice that these are the ones getting the most attention. An apparent glut in manual laborers pushing bidders away from the usually highly sought goods.
A luminescent crystal feral dragon catches the attention of the room. Over 12 feet tall, clearly female and timid, slender and stunningly beautiful. She shines a clear sky blue-white brighter than most of the light sources here. The bidding begins and it seems like quite an interest to some but not others. Her eye catches yours and you sense that she is more a trophy piece than anything but her kind is according to legend capable of magical fears only the leviathan dragons of old performed. Although she certainly didn't save this company and nobody else is looking at her for a wish giver.
...
 
Frazone
I find it difficult to look at the dragon do to how bright she is in the previously somewhat dim auction house. The biding is nearly half over by the time I get a decent look at her. Although Incredibly beautiful I am somewhat conflicted about purchasing her. The biding ends before I can make up my mind and the dragon is lead off backstage with me feeling somewhat regret full.
...
 
LittleRover
You notice after the fact that the same bidder that had gone for the Kobolds had gone for the glowing crystal dragon. He looks chuffed with himself, although none of the other bidders seem particularly fussed by passing that one on. Having only rarely visited the Underwing you have no idea how common or uncommon these creatures are, but consider the aversion that many of these dwellers have to the light now, it would perhaps be unwelcome for most.
The next few auction items that come up are for entire working floors of the factories, coworkers sold together for the sake of speed. Five groups of roughly fifty mouse seamstresses come up for selection, and although it is impossible to tell which of the cohorts are male and female, there was an estimate in the (very regal and elaborate) auction guide that there were roughly 80% female mouse workforce. The bidding for this is nearly dead, with just one bid put up to take it out of the range of the entitled rat boy (who had spent all his cash on the dragon), a slow trickle of bids came in considering them as perhaps useful for menial labour but nothing more.
...
 
Frazone
I'm not here for business expansions. Everything is far away from my territory anyway. Plus mice are so common and mundane theirs no way I would spend money on them in a place like this. I pass on the work floors and the seamstresses.
...
 
LittleRover
The auction continues with other specialised species, rats who worked in tailoring, felines with a penchant for the fine haberdashery, all sold by the tens or twenties or fifties. Then nearing the closing of the auction, some of the more peculiar items come up.
A pack of seven drakeons, an incredibly rare evolution of the eevee pokémon who were apparently used for the acquisition of precious materials from the underground as excellent gem sniffers. They are all wildly varied in their appearance, seemingly fashioned after different minerals including amethyst, diamond, emerald, geodes, and beautifully coloured rocks making a slightly off rainbow of colours. They are all feral but appear to be conversing with one another from their individual cages and are calm and collected.
They are bid one at a time. Bidding begins rather rapidly at first, with the attrition of so much money already spent putting a hard cap on what people are able to pay.
...
 
Frazone
These certainly catch my attention. The rare Drakeons only rumored about back home. It is without hesitation that I begin bidding on them with only some reservation. Snatching all of them though some minor bidding war driving the price of the last few up quit higher.
...
 
LittleRover
The last round of the auction comes about. The corporate governance of the company put out on display. A Salazzle chained to her harem of Salandit, her markings of slightly luminous gold and her powerfully alluring scent crossing the room no help for her situation. Accompanying her is a female Kitsune placed in heavy enchanted bands around her neck, wrists, and ankles, heavy limiters on her power, giving her virtually nothing to work with. The final is a male black feline with an incredibly aggressive look to him, despite being well in the feminine realm of body types, particularly petite. Sold separately
...
 
Frazone
This was it. The center point of the entire auction. The reason I and many others from around the world came here today. A kitsune was such a rare and powerful creature to have one for yourself, could afford one great power. Even a simple three tailed like this one. The biding was quite intense, and in the end I bought her for nearly half the cost of all other goods combined. With many digected over losing out on the reason for their trip here I pick up the salazzle too. I had always wanted to start a brothel. She would be an exhalant starting point.
...
 
LittleRover
With the auction concluded, the goods are taken backstage and the tables are served with meals and entertainment for the rest of the evening. The Gardevoir appears with the tray of strange and exotic foods that he prepares for you and Lunoora with expert skill, one of the dishes allegedly volatile enough that it should be consumed within just a few minutes of preparation, else it becomes sour. Whilst most of it is nice, the foreign nature of the food makes it somewhat difficult eating and after a few hours of wining and dining, Gardevoir appears to inform you that your possessions have been sorted, and an exchange of signatures is all that is required for them to be released to you.
You have a suite, an entire lavish floor of the establishment, entirely to yourself and if you choose they can be delivered there or to your table or held for your convenience. What you will notice is the rat boy from before having an argument with the two escorts he had been taking around, apparently one to try and avoid paying where necessary, and the mouse girls are wise to his tricks. As one of them goes to leave, fed up with his bullshit, they drop a piece of paper that you could easily pick up on your way to your room, if you went that way.
...
 
 
I do grab the piece of paper and read it has soon as I'm likely not to be noticed by the rat boy.
...
 
LittleRover
On it is the room code for the rat boy's room. Allowing you to access it from the elevator and no way of anyone knowing.
...
 
Frazone
I attempt to fallow the mouse girls that left.
...
 
LittleRover
She is out on the street, walking away along the main road for the most part. She is alone for a while that you follow her, although you sense that she will meet a handler that is not yet expecting her a few turns away. Presumably Lunoora will be accompanying you for security as there are definitely shady characters around. None are willing to engage with the obvious prey here but you are aware that the turn she is about to take is to a darker alleyway area and much less likely to gain unwanted attention.
...
 
Frazone
I follow after her and say "won't your handler be mad that you walked out on a job?"
...
 
LittleRover
She stops, turns to look at you with an irritated smile. "I work for myself hon. I choose my clients, and I don't choose cheating rats." She then starts taking a very different route, one that avoids the darker alleys.
...
 
Frazone
I quirk and eyebrow at her change in direction but say nothing off it. Simply taking a glance down the alley has we pass it. "I couldn't help but overhear a bit of your argument. The scoundrel was trying to get off on not paying you the full amount".
...
 
LittleRover
The alley seems well lit, but it is completely out of sight of anyone. Perhaps a good shortcut but one she isn't willing to take when being followed by someone. She continues walking, clearly irritated by your presence. "Yes, he was trying to cheat me out of the evening pay. Everything is in advance, he knew that. And unless you're willing to book by the official channels, you'll have to wait for me darling."
...
 
Frazone
I stop and smile at that "alright but you'll probably miss the show" I say has I turn around and pull the piece of paper out of my pocket and briefly wave it over my shoulder at her has I start to walk back towards the auction house.
...
 
LittleRover
She sees the piece of paper, and has a crooked smile. "You wanna fuck with the rat boy, go right ahead. Just remember the girl, she's protected, she's not allowed to be harmed." Then she starts walking away and you'll return to the auction house.
...
 
Frazone
I head up to my room for now and ask all my purchases to be brought up too.
Has I go to the cages to pick up my purchases I check to see if that rat boy has got out his dragoon or left her down here.
...
 
LittleRover
The dragoon has been taken out, and if you ask you'll be told that he has indeed taken her to his room.
The floor you go out onto is very similar in its lavish style to the auction house. It has a massive luxurious bed of fabrics that cover a good quarter of the floor. The rest is more conventional seating, a kitchen area that seems more for decoration than usage, and then an area partially closed off with the large swimming pool like bath and hole-in-the-floor style toilets.
The waiting staff led by the Gardevoir begin bringing the cages up, which the creatures within seem to be completely unaware or unable to see what is outside of the cages or that they are being moved, all except the Kitsune who stares at you hatefully as she is transported away to be brought up the cargo elevator.
When they get to your floor, the Gardevoir and two preying mantis males all similarly dressed in suits have a selection of restraining devices to help control your new possessions. From mind control to collars and leashes.
…
 
 
They all get fitted out with collars has they are removed from their cages. My personalized collars will be arranged for them latter. So long has they behave are calm that is all that will be needed for now. Though I still keep a few leashes around, and cages on hand.
After they get their collars I tell the kobables to make themselves comfortable however they wish.
All of the pokemon are released. I take the time to do it individually myself. Letting the Draceons sniff my hand and try to pet their heads has they are released to get a judge of their personality. The Salazzle and all her salandit are let loss to wander free. I approach her not really sure of her level of intelligence but doing the same has with the draceon unless shown different.
The kitsune I get to last and try to look at her with a gentle smile. "I hope you understand that I can't undo your bonds" I place the collar on her and ask her name.
...
 
LittleRover
The kobolds are resigned, they aren't sure what to expect. Not used to the collars, they go and get themselves cleaned up and will ask you for clothing, since they had been stripped of theirs for auction. The room service can provide clothing if you wish to give it to them.
The drakeons are all a little hesitant at first, and they are clearly speaking to one another in a wordless language that is surprisingly sophisticated as they evaluate you. Flashes in your mind of thoughts come and go, thoughts about how you don't smell of gems, how they each hope there will be gems to hoard. The diamond (female) one seems the sharpest of the lot, emerald (male) the most concerned with himself but not in too asshole of a way, amethyst (female) makes you feel hot under the collar slightly, the geode twins (male and female) are both only somewhat interested in you and seem to be quite interested in exploring and playing around being fairly young, the two stone ones (females) who are blue and red will immediately settle into the covers and begin lounging around looking to nap.
The Salandit are dumb, they are like slave worker animals who will accept any affection but be only really interested in following the Salazzle's will, and actually obey you completely too, as if knowing you are their master's master without any complaint.
The Salazzle is keenly intelligent, sentient, having been one of the board of the company that went bust. She will introduce herself as Lilith and tell you that she didn't choose her name, she was burdened by it.
The Kitsune still looks at you regretfully. "I would expect nothing less." She replies to your comment and when asked for name. "You would struggle to comprehend my true name. Sune or Kitsune is fine. I would ask for what purpose you have purchased us. You would understand if I have some attachment to these creatures. They have worked for me for some time."
...
 
Frazone
"Sune it is then" I say stepping away. Taking a seat and starting to take my shoes off. "The reasons are varied. I could use some secretaries." I bob my head towards the kobolds. "Some good gem hunters will do me good. For Lilith I had been thinking of starting a brothel, but being a former bored member she might be useful elsewhere." I finally pull my tight shoes and socks off stretching my legs and wiggling my toes with a sigh and a quiet "finally". I then stand and walk up to Sune again. "And you are personal." If she doesn't pull away I gently run my hand down her arm.
...
 
LittleRover
She doesn't, letting you stroke down her arm, but looking displeased about it. "I assumed as much." But she makes no advancement. As if sensing the atmosphere, the Drakeons change from their playful state to jumping into the covers and settling down to watch, half burrowed, the bus of excitement emanating from their minds as the Salazzle will begin relaxing herself in the bath unless she is ordered otherwise with the Salandit at her every beck and call.
...
 
Frazone
I chuckled at at Sune then walked away giving a title twirl to my fingers has I walked away. "Why so sour Sue I promise it's far from the worst thing that could have happened to you?" I walk over to the Drakeon and pet some of their heads has they want it. "Would you like something to drink, help lessen the tension. I know the transition isn't going to be easy for all of you?" I say rubbing the check's of the of the most affectionate of the Drakeons.
I call the butler up with drinks for everyone, has they request. including more scotch for me. Plus some simple clothes. The kobolds only get panties and an oversized shirt each. Sue and Lilith will have a bathrobe if they so desire.
...
!
Oh also while he is hear I'll ask his name
 
LittleRover
It seems the Amethyst one is the most affectionate of the Drakeons, quite interested in watching you. One of the stone two will go over to your shoes and socks, sniffing it before joined by the emerald, geodes, and other stone one who all seem to be evaluating your scent carefully.
"Humph." Sune says in response to your first statement. "You are correct on that front." With the offer of a drink, she seems to look you over, judging you more. "Kitsune's kiss. I would recommend you try it but I wouldn't want to be accused of making you a vegetable already."
The butler comes up with the requested drinks and clothing, the gardevoir presenting you with the perfect whisky on the rocks again first of all, then providing the clothing to the Kobolds, Sune, and Lilith who begin putting them on right there. The Gardevoir responds to your request with a simple. "My name is Anzle, sir." He replies simply. "Is there anything else I can get you?" He says this whilst beginning the Kitsune's kiss and you can see why it might be dangerous to consume. The sheer quantity of spirits being poured within the vessel, swirled and manipulated where it seems to condense or lose mass whilst a variety of strange ingredients are added until it is left with a wine glass containing a purest fiery orange with an eruption of white continuously ongoing from its top, a black olive-like plant for garnish and a dressing of pink petal-like fruits around its rim. The kitsune will take this and sip at it gently, instantly looking far more relaxed.
…
 
 
Frazone
"Thank you Anzle that will be it for now" I give him a nod of thanks and let him depart. After some time to sit and sip our drinks letting some of the tension flow out I get up and head towards the elevator. Along the way I look at Sune. "Want to come with us for a bit of fun or stay here?" I say grinning.
...
 
LittleRover
She seems to read you easily, getting a clear idea of what kind of fun you are planning. "Of course." She says simply, following you to the elevator where her smaller size becomes much more apparent now you are next to each other. She is roughly four and a half feet tall, with her tails almost 3 feet long each and very fluffy. As the elevator goes down, you do notice her eyes shift from a deep blue to a slight purple and back again. She will remain next to you silently unless you make conversation for the relatively long elevator ride.
...
 
Frazone
I don't say anything but after a few moments of silence Lunoora scouts closer to her and asks "sooooo you where to former head of company right?"
...
 
LittleRover
"That is correct. Founder, owner, and CEO of the Mythical Weave Company. It is unfortunate that we are where we are today. But it cannot be helped. I do not believe we have had a formal introduction Lady Dracaoo. I am Sune, former head of... and now slave of your Frazone. I will be of service to you for the rest of your natural lifetimes."
...
 
Frazone
Lunoora smiles at that. Holding her hands together. "You seem to be reasonable about this. I'm glad to hear that. Your company did some great work. Got a few sets for myself a while back. I'm sure you will enjoy your time with us."
...
 
LittleRover
she makes a small smile. "Our craftsmanship has travelled far. Unfortunate that the underground is so difficult about foreign currency. Of course. I have many more centuries to enjoy yet. There is no reason to cry over the situation I made for myself."
Unless you have some more conversation, the elevator will stop at the rat boy's floor.
The door opens to the room of the Rat boy, a floor very similar to your own. But all you can see is a rather distressed looking crystal dragon, wearing a collar that is intended to range restrict her in some way. By the looks of it a very small radius around the bedding. There is no sign of anyone else in the room from what you can see and no real smell to indicate something is off. What you will notice is that the key to the collar has been simply abandoned on a small table right beside the bedding area.
The longer you spend there, the more you become aware of the sounds of breathing from the bathroom. If you go to explore, you'll find three tied up rats looking rather uncomfortable with enormous bellies with the clear definition of a mouse each. They are not particularly large rats either so it seems to be causing them great discomfort. None of them are crying out, but when they spot you, through gagged mouths they will start crying for help.
...
 
Frazone
I frown in puzzlement/disappointment that my target isn't here. I will go straight up to the drag and attempt to calm her. Stroking her muzzle if she will allow me. Once I am fairly certain that she is calm I will take the key and unlock her collar.
Lunnora begins searching around for the rat boy or any threat. She is the one who finds the rats and sensing no immediate danger will go to begin untying them.
...
 
LittleRover
There doesn't seem to be any real sign of the rat boy. But Lunoora will find his discarded clothes not far from the dragon. The rats as they are untied start giving their thanks to Lunoora, but it is very clear from their mannerisms they are rather simple creatures who from their accounts were forced to swallow mice for the rat boy's pleasure to watch. The three of them have eaten relatively recently but they couldn't say how recently.
...
 
Frazone04/20/2018
Lunoora will ask them if the mice can be recovered and will ask them to cough them up if its not too late. Pick up the rats discarded clothes and hold them up to Sune "looks like my prey beat me to the punch. Wonder if he has a means of coming back or if he meant this to be permeant?" From my own vision of this person I would expect him to have a way of coming back.
...
 
LittleRover
The rats nod and accept they can be recovered. It requires a bit of assistance and coaxing as they are not good at it, but once they are set on throwing the mice back up it becomes clear that one of them was the mouse that had gone up with him, who is the most lively and looks mortified when she realises there are strangers in her presence. The other two mice are deeply unconscious, both males, both looking like they were severely roughhoused before they were consumed and probably having been inside a few hours from how uncomfortably squishy their flesh feels. All of them are silent and the rats look exhausted but relieved from the efforts.
Sune will look at them with a smirk. "Of course he would. He hasn't taken the risky option. Well, he thinks he hasn't." Sune then turns to the crystal dragon. "Diamond, girl, let me see your problem." The dragon then bends herself over and raises her rump to you and Sune, the recently stretched lips of her crystal rimmed radiant sex clearly moist and dripping slightly. It's clearly large enough you could crawl inside if you wished.
...
 
Frazone
"Ah right of course hehehe" I chuckle awkwardly at having missed that. After thinking about it with my chin in my hand I turn to Sue "what do you mean, he thinks he hasn't?"
In the other room Lunoora is gently washing the acid off the two unconscious mice while doing what she can to calm the escort girl, and keep a hold on the rats.
...
 
 
LittleRover
The rats are no problem, they don't seem to be heading anywhere anytime soon, just recovering on the floor of the bathroom. The two unconscious mice get cleaned up but still are out, they'll probably be out until they receive some medical attention or are allowed to rest for a good length of time. The escort girl is fearful but compliant. She appears to be under the impression that she has made a grave mistake somewhere along the line. Reassurance doesn't work at first, but she will eventually get words. "You'll let me go, right? People will come looking for me."
Sune takes a finger and slides it across the sex, getting a slathering of her crystal juice that she shows you quite closely. Before your eyes it begins to solidify into beautiful gemstones that cling quite strongly to the fur. "She has a particular type of stress response, assisted with a little magic. It is easily curable, but only if you wish for him to be cured. Otherwise she will absorb the geode encapsulating him in a few weeks. It's not fatal but I do not believe there is a way of reversing the process. Not with my shackles at least."
...
 
Frazone
I laugh at that "No No. leave him to suffer for his own fally. It's very fitting that way." I caress Diamonds muzzle again then go collect everyone to head back to our room. Once I get into the bathroom with the little mouse girl looking very scared I try to console her "oh oh course I'll let you go, but in the meantime, would you like to spend the time you would have spent with that nasty rat boy with me instead?" I smile to her and offer my hand for her to climb onto.
...
 
LittleRover
She shakes her head and steps back. "No no, I shouldn't. I can't. I need to report back. Sorry!" She squeaks. She will then try to zip off looking for her clothing and some payment to make the trip worthwhile before looking to leave the apartment. If you show any threatening behaviour after she slips past she'll hide within the cloth mountain where it would be very difficult to find her.
Getting Diamond to the room through the main elevator is a little tricky but not impossible. Sune smiles standing and stroking Diamond who seems much calmer now. On the arrival to your floor Sune will simply walk forward with Diamond obediently following. "Justice is beautiful sometimes. A shame so many others had to go to lesser masters. They deserved better than being sold off like that."
In the time you were away it seems the Drakeons had cracked open a safe you hadn't even known about without damaging it and started sifting through the few gems and money that was inside. Apparently left by accident.
...
 
Frazone
I stare wide eyed at them before breaking into a fit of laughter. "Not even a day they are already finding riches Hahahaha." It takes a while for me to recover. Still fighting back chuckles I ask everyone. "Well I don't suppose you get very decent food in your before so if you would like a bit to eat just ask okay."
I call Anzle to bring up everyone's orders. Something for the rats to share along with the mice when they eventually wake up. Along with a couple tubs and the rather basic ingredients I need to mix up a healing bath for the two mice in some small plastic bowls.
With that done I sit down and start perusing the website of a nearby escort service seeing what they might have on ideate call tonight. I'm not expecting to really find anything that appealing. The best girls are always booked in advance.
...
 
LittleRover
Anzle comes up with a variety of dishes, most of them fairly simple but Sune and Lilith seem to view it as a last opportunity to have a good meal. They have rather fancy multiple course meals that Anzle has to stick around to help prepare and serve each course. Giving you plenty of time to prepare the healing baths and begin quickly repairing the wounds of the mice.
The escort agencies are not particularly great with the options on show. Mostly low class acts for dirt cheap of mice, rats, felines, and well used Kobolds. You do see cute fennec twins on offer with a fur coat as shadowy in appearance as the city. But it did seem all the best had already been booked for tonight, for the rest of the week in fact.
...
 
Frazone
Hmmm. Putting the phone down for a bit I walk over to Anzle and strike up a conversation with him. "So Anzle you like your time down here in the under?"
Lunoora is sitting at the table with my new purchases having a merry chat with them.
...
 
LittleRover
"Of course. It is always nice to visit new places. To try out the local culture. I will say the underground is not very well suited for someone of my type but I make do." He continues to the dessert course, a fairly complex two dishes that he assembles effortlessly.
"I have not been here long tend to move between establishments fairly regularly. I have been all over the globe, working at both restaurants and hotels of all calibres. It is always a pleasure."
It seems Sune is the most up for talking. Lilith is more interested in her food and the Salandit don't speak. She seems to have some luck with the Drakeons.
Whilst they are more interested in gems, food, and playing they can interact with thoughts that Sune has fun expanding upon. There is the vibe she was a Father figure more than a mother figure but everyone loved her.
...
 
 
Frazone
smile at Lunoora with the playing with the Drakeons,, before turning back to Anzle "I'm glad to hear that. I've been looking for a butler for my place for some time. If your interested I would be glad to have you." I say with a gently pat on his shoulder. Walking away so has to give him no pressure.
I take a seat at the table has everyone is finishing up their dessert and get a better assemnt of them. Some polite chatting with the kobolds again confirming their position has secretaries, though also commenting that I probably didn't need three full time secretaries.
I then turn to Lilith. "So you must of heard me tell Sue what I planed when buying you, but I didn't hear any sort of objection".
 
LittleRover
Anzle doesn't reply then, but when he is preparing to take the elevator down he simply says. "I am sure when the time is right, I will be available." With a knowing smile and disappears down.
The three secretary Kobolds explain they each have different roles and work as one unit. Timekeeping, housekeeping, and computer management. These were all great for a large company and Sune does say to you on the side "I wouldn't try splitting them. I did and they really do have their weaknesses."
Lilith is short and curt with her responses. Clearly disgruntled with her position and especially irritated by the collar. "I'm hardly in a position to reject. It's not like it's unfamiliar territory." She indicates to the Salandit who line up. There are eight of them. "We can discuss business in more detail later. But if you're planning on getting with the common classes then these ones are no good. Either a middle class establishment with a few higher class clientele or I'll need a good few months preparation to get the numbers up and temperament right. Either way, I'll need a few dozen sentient creatures for seeding."
If you give her a "like sex" look she will immediately clarify. "Different to how you do it. It's not something you would volunteer yourself for. Unless I get freedom with it, maybe inherit everything you have."
...

"I can certainly provide that. And yes I would prefer a classier establishment, perhaps brothel was the wrong term to use." I muse of this for a bit before shaking it off has unimportant and turned to Sune. "So Sue why did you have diamond around." I nodded towards the dragon.

Sune looks to her. "I had her from an egg. Workers discovered it in a mineral deposit and thus I was interested in helping her hatch. Her main purpose besides being a fantastic companion, is in her innate magical nature. She's one of few species capable of generating magical energy from her soul and store immense quantities within her crystal scales. The level of magic possible with her is similar to that of a 5 tailed kitsune, reality bending. Alas I am now shackled and there are unlikely to be any opportunities to gain my other tails. Not with how few of my kind remain."

I give a somewhat sad smile at that. Then head over to Diamond and pet her snout. I asses how relaxed and comfortable with me she is. "A companion huh. I can see that. You seem like great company." I lean in and nuzzle her.
Then the red light of dusk shines in my eyes making me flinch. it's odd that duck is actually the brightest time of day here. Being the only time the under gets direct sunlight, and only during certain times of the year. I wonder out onto the balcony and watch the brilliant red shine across the water and dracstone high above. It's a beautiful sight few get to see and i'm sure most of the natives hate.

Diamond is very receptive, friendly towards you. She does seem the trusting sort having been well cared for her entire life. When you nuzzle her she nuzzles back with much more force then you were anticipating, enough to easily push you back and realise your weight is nothing to get at all. Sune laughs but remains quite collected.
She joins you on the balcony and Diamond will look out to watch with Sune holding her head. "Sunsets are the best times here. Remind you just how close the surface is, and how if you just reached for it you could be there." She holds her hand out as if casting a spell but no energy flows to it. "Of course I can't do that anymore. But there are plenty others they can."
As if on cue, different coloured streaks of light begin flashing from all over to the horizon. People travelling away from the city or to the city at this perfect time.

Has I stand there watching out at the wondrous sight my hand drifts over till it is gently resting on top of hers on the railing. I give no indication in my demeanor has to weather it was intentional or not. Has the passes the half way point and the light begins to dim again my eyes wander down a bit and I ask "It doesn't seem that you liked the Under. Why where you here then?"
…
 
 
LittleRover
She doesn't protest the hand, and will smile slightly at the touch. "The under isn't all bad. By it certainly doesn't compare to the splendor of my homelands. But the curse of our kind forced me to leave. There was nothing left for me there. So I made my life here, far from anyone, land of opportunity. Until recently everything had been perfectly fine. It will be nice to return to the surface again though."

I gently intertwine our fingers. Playing across her fur with my sensitive finger tips loving the feeling. "I'm sure you'll love my home. We're a smaller nation and up in the mountains, but we prosper with mining and craftsman. The view from our estate is gorges with the Tiberius mountains across the Secoune river." I turn to look at her for a moment remembering her near unnatural beauty. Taking a deep swallow I regain my composure. "The the Grove of Silver wood trees we've planted have been doing growing strong. I hear they come from the old kitsune lands, and they nearly went extinct after the curse. They're bright red leaves are a sight to behold."
...
 
LittleRover
She smiles a bit wider and she intertwines your fingers back. "From one mining community to another." She stares out. "My old homelands and the surrounding kingdoms on the surface have changed much since I last visited. I do hope the old noble plant life of my people can live on. The gardens were unlike anything any culture has managed to achieve since. I fear many species have simply been lost to history. You may yet to see them flower. It is said only true love's spark can bring them into blossom."
Looking to you more intently, her eyes a deep green now. "Of course that was an old kitune tale. Although I must ask. Does your mate not get jealous with the way you are so open with others?"
...

I look over to Lunoora had she talks rather animatedly with everyone else in the room. They all seem to be having fun laughing and drinking together. I smile warmly at the sight. "Jealous no. We are different creatures with different needs we can't always fill for each other." Extend my arm not holding her hand twordea the group. "Just has I can hardly deal with groups like that. Lunoora can not provide me with the thrill of the new. Another puzzle to solve. Layers to pull apart. But I assure you that when either of us are tired and worn down there is no where we would rather be then each other's arms. That feeling of complete comfort is indescribable. And it had remained over the years of our marriage and the many others we have been with."
...
 
LittleRover
Sune smiles. "The philosophy of the Kitsune resembles these thoughts closely. It is certainly unusual amongst the humans I have met to exhibit such a practical attitude. She certainly feels happy." Diamond continues watching the last of the sunset, seeing colours invisible to the human eye. "Your rat boy has finally figured out he can't move." Then the two geode Drakeons poke their head in your direction. "It is getting late. I believe it would be best for most of them to be getting some needed rest."

Frazone
Letting out a large yawn myself. "Indeed. It's been a long for me has well." I start to head inside letting my fingers slip out of hers. "Will you be joining me tonight? I don't feel in the mood for any lewd activities if you were wondering, but I do love to snuggle" I ask smiling at her.
...
 
LittleRover
Her eyes flicker through several colours back to blue. "It is as you desire. I shall join you. The bed is large enough." She follows you to the bed. Everyone already settling down in the bedding. The Drakeons forming a dog pile and the rest generally taking their own spots on the luscious fabric. She will lay beside you wherever you set down, removing her dressing gown and laying face to face with you.

Frazone
I lay with Sune on my left side and Lunoora settling in my right side. I take off my coat and pants but keep on my undershirt and briefs. Lunoora also strips naked. I keep my word and simply drape my arm around Sune and quickly fall asleep to the lush cushions and the warm bodies close at my side. It is a very relaxing rest.
