"Not at all. I mean, it's not exactly easy, but I just feel it would probably have been way worse off for me if I'd have made either other choice. Right now, I'm happy with what I chose." Shannon said, smiling at Sniper.
[hr]
"It's...getting in the 'mood'. For sex. That's what foreplay is...and that's basically what you were doing." Asha said, feeling incredibly uncomfortable with the situation.
Riou takes this in and looks down with his eyes closed, thinking. She knew all about Luca and his actions. And that probably means that she knows anything that the others are doing right now as well. But she can't or won't tell us? Does this also mean that she knows what I am thinking or feeling right now? Can she know that as well? Can I trust her, if she can't tell me the truth? But she also said that this 'employer' will kill her if she tells anyone. Which could mean that she is taking a risk even telling me this. Why would she do such a thing? Does she trust me? What should I do? This is a difficult issue. One the one hand, it is a betrayal of sorts. On the other hand, I forgave Jowy of all that he had done, and he even killed Annabelle. Though he assisted and protected me in various ways along the way. Not giving Rose the benefit of the doubt would be unfair. And I do like her... Why can't this be simple? What am I saying. I should understand this better than anyone. My Rune affects things in ways that I can't foresee or prevent.
He looks up and sees Rose looking gloomy. Taking a moment, he walks over to her and hugs her. "Hey, it's okay. I realize that this is a difficult thing for you. You're being very brave, right now, aren't you. I won't hold it against you. I can understand how you feel. I'm not really mad at you, but I do wish you had told me sooner."
"[sub]...I...see...[/sub]" Gerry said, although he was still a little confused. "[sub]...So...what can I not do exactly?[/sub]" he asked.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Well...I'm...uh...*clears throat* [sub]pretty happy too.[/sub] For the record though, I think you would have been fine out in the real world. Your a strong woman, and you were like that even before you came with me." Sniper said.
Rose hugged Riou back and tears started to well up in her eyes. "I know, and I'm sorry I lied to you before. But I did that because I was trying to avoid, well, this basically. Having to explain that I can't help people in a way that only I can because I'd die if I even tried it. It's hard to try and keep it a secret...and to not think about how much bad stuff could have been avoided if I could say what I want without being afraid of being killed." She said to Riou.
"Y-You want to know exactly what you can't do?" Asha asked, still quite embarrassed and uncomfortable. "Um...w-well, basically you should just...don't touch my breasts, or my butt, or my...um..." Asha's face had become completely bright red and she trailed off from being too embarrassed to actually continue. Please, just let him get the point! Don't make me have to say that word!
[hr]
"Oh please. I didn't know how to do jack shit before you came along and had the patience to teach me 'the noble trade'. Like I said, if it weren't for you I'd probably be out on the streets, or dead." Shannon said to Sniper.
"[sub]...Vagina?[/sub]" Gerry asked, wondering if that was what Asha was going to say.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Sniper shrugged. "Maybe." he said as he started to get undressed.
Asha nearly passed out from embarrassment after hearing Gerry speak. "Y-Yep. J-just a-avoid t-those a-and everything w-will be f-fine." She nervously stammered. Then she burst into a fit of nervous laughter to try and ease herself.
[hr]
After a while Shannon said to Sniper, "Yeah, so I know I say this a lot, but, Thanks, for everything. Really." She continued to brush her hair. 78, 79, 80...
"It's okay. I'm not really sure what you're going through, but I won't judge you. I would never do that, Rose. Instead I'll say that I'll be there for you. And if this 'employer' of yours tries to harm you, he'll have to go through me. Okay?" Riou relied with a smile as he patted her on the head.
OoC: Yeah my ISP has pretty much died on me. So this was done on my phone. It might be my last post.
"Thank you. That means a lot to me. It really does." Rose said as she wiped the tears from her eyes. She smiled at Riou, then yawned. "It's been a long day. I think I need to go get some rest now. Goodnight." She gave Riou another hug, then went back into the ship, waiting outside of her room to avoid interrupting Asha and Gerry.
"Uh...also, if you don't mind, please don't kiss me in my sleep. I mean, cuddling is fine...but it's kinda creepy to do anything more than that to a sleeping person." Asha said, still quite uneasy and awkward.
[hr]
Shannon chuckled at Sniper's comment. "I bet it has." 98, 99, 100!
She put her brush back in its pouch on her vest, then started to get undressed.
"...So...I think this bed could fit two people..." Sniper said as he finished getting undressed.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
"[sub]Okay...I'm very sorry...[/sub]" Gerry said as he hugged Asha and pushed his face into her cleavage.
"Oh-ho-ho, so you are thinking what I'm thinking." Shannon said with a coy grin. She finished getting undressed as well, but picked up her jacket and pulled out a pair of hand-cuffs from one of the pockets and started playfully twirling them around her finger.
[hr]
"It's alright, you just don't know any better." Asha said as she sighed and stroked Gerry hair. Either that or you're still a lot more sly than I thought...
Sniper sighed a bit. "[sub]I thought I got rid of those...[/sub]Well, if you think you can get 'em on me, you're welcome to try...but don't think I won't use 'em on you if given the chance." he said as he headed for the bed.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Shannon's tail started to wag like a predatory beast. "Oh it's on now!" She playfully declared. Then she pounced on Sniper and used all her might to cuff his wrist to the bed-post. Then there was fun-times.
[hr]
"Well, on the bright side, that's one less thing to teach him." Asha said to herself as Gerry fell asleep. She gently laid him down and tucked him in, then climbed in and cuddled him until she fell asleep as well.
After Asha and Gerry had fallen asleep, Rose quietly crept in, got undressed, and went to sleep in her own bed.
@ALL: Well, apparently I'm first one on.. Nevermind.
Winter woke up, relaxed and ready to go. She kissed Gwen as she was still asleep and walked over to Four's room and kissed her as well. Getting to the showers, she quickly got herself cleaned. Right after she got herself dressed in her sneaking suit as she patched it back up. Those Cyborg Ninjas... Austin and I have to get better... For the group...
[hr]
Austin got up as well, seeing that Alison was still asleep. Getting a box of chocolates he had for special occasions, he placed it right next to her as he got to the showers and got ready.
[hr]
The two met up in the middle of the clearing for both ships as they stared at each other, knowing exactly what was up.
"William's cyborgs..." "We were only able to keep up in super mode... We need to learn to stabilize that time more if Will sends more."
"Exactly"
Winter crouched down and activated the sparring cube as several hard-light Cyborg Ninjas as Winter readied her zweihander and Austin readied his sword and scabbard.
[HEADING=2]"Let's Go![/HEADING]
Their skin cracked alittle around the knees and shoulders as Winter's sneaking suit radiated a light-blue glow as icicles started manifesting as armor. Austin's sneaking suit started radiating a dark-orange glow. Through the cracks on their skins, the same light that reflected on their suits was shown. The two took off at blinding speeds as they combated the enemy projections.
As the two finished off the last of the ninjas, their skin healed back up as Austin collapsed on the ground, his super mode still too much for him. Winter leaned on her knees huffing and puffing.
Using the zweihander as a crutch, she walked over to Dio. "Hey... You ok?"
