It isn't clear what Mave intended when she dressed Cricket. It's possibly she was trying to humble the girl, or else didn't know how she'd actually react when she couldn't just slip away into the shadows. The extra-buxom Yodhbarada had her hair piled up in a bun held in place with fancy looking combs, and was dressed in a shiny black gown. Or at least she could be said to be wearing the gown. It was cut extremely low in the front and back (although there's nothing unusual about the back, since Eeee are fond of backless dresses after all), and extremely high on the sides. The effect was that the dip in front not only went well past her navel, but the slits on the sides actually rose above it. Given her chest, the normal cut left a lot exposed, and there was no way to wear any sort of underwear with it.
Back at the nest, Cricket had been thrilled by it. Facing a crowd of strangers without the protective aura of being a Yodh (she wasn't wearing any of the symbols of her sect) was suddenly making her self-conscious. She may have forgotten that she had a silver eye, which would draw as much attention as her inflated breasts.
In contrast, Tulani was wearing pretty much the same thing, except in white. Having black fur makes it harder to make out details of course, but she also carried herself quite differently: she was out to have fun, and some of her draconic aura was still clinging to her. While Cricket clung to Alptraum's arm with both of her hands at the moment, Tulani was fine with just crossing elbows.
Amelia says, "Cue.. dress as you see fit."
Alptraum is actually a bit more subdued in terms of not wearing anything too garish. Since he's dark, his clothing is more white and silver, to add some contrast (even if it's more monotone. Well-tailored pants, as form-titting backless shirt (due to the wings), so it more attaches around his waist and neck, with a layered sort of silvery sash over both shoulders. Not quite a robe, but carries the impression of one. But, to break up the formality, he included his nose-ring this time because ... it'll make people blink if nothing else. "You need to relax," he comments to Cricket, "You're the one who wanted the prostitute-level breasts."
"There are so many people, and they're smiling," Cricket whispers. "I'm not used to people smiling or being friendly.."
It isn't long before Honey shows up and bows. "Always a pleasure to have you visit, sir," she says. "Is there anywhere in particular you'd like to go? A table, private room.. up on the platform?"
"No place in particular at the moment. Who all is here tonight, anyway?," Alptraum notes to Honey. Then back to Cricket he says, "Were you expecting something different in a place geared towards making people happy?"
"The usual mix, though we are low on government sorts tonight," Honey replies. "More Graytowners though, so it evens out I think. It means there will be more interesting dances." She also smiles to Cricket and Tulani.
"Hmmm, dances," Tulani echoes.
"People aren't usually happy to see me though," Cricket notes.
"Taking your.. little sister out on her first big date?" Honey asks Alptraum.
"What sort of dances?" Alptraum asks, "And oh, Fluffer might help by showing her around a bit for me." He gestures specifically to Cricket.
"And Tulani might like ... Malagast," Alptruam adds, ever so helpfully.
"Hey, I've got you," Tulani points out. "Naga are not good dancers. Well.. not the moving around the floor sort anyway," she claims.
"What's a Fluffer?" Cricket asks, still clinging to Alptraum.
"True, but I hear he's interesting in the bedroom." Alptraum teases. "As for Fluffer, that's just a nickname for the male lapi twin of Honey here."
"I'll bring you over by the dance floor then," Honey says, and starts leading them that way. It's already apparent that the usual dance music isn't playing.. nor the usual musicians. The floor is mostly filled with Skreeks, and the dancing looks as complicated as a Gypsy tarantella can be.
"You're gripping tighter," Alptraum notes to Cricket as the dance floor approaches. "And btw, you should dress like that all the time. Easy access," he teases. To Tulani he notes, "I'm surprised you didn't complain about the nose ring. I know you're not a fan of it ... in these instances."
"I'm not the one wearing it, but as the clearly dominant female people will assume I am the ring owner," Tulani says. "Or else that you're up for some really interesting experiences tonight.."
Honey brings them to a table right next to the dance floor, where they have a view of a female Skreek in a dress whose skirt seems to have a surprising number of layers and ruffles to it, all different colors so that it looks like a sudden rainbow when she spins around. "Would you like anything to eat or drink?"
Alptraum ohs? "Nothing wrong with some interesting experiences," he notes, then sticks his tongue right into her closest ear.
While Tulani's ear twitches madly, Cricket says, "I'd like a glass or wine please. Pink! With fruit if possible."
"So you'll be ore relaxed if someone tries to nibble your pink fruit?" Alptraum asks Cricket, then waggles his brow.
The girl's ears turn pinker, while Honey asks, "How about you grown-ups? Something fruity as well?"
"I'd like a Vartan Ale if you have it," Tulani orders.
"The night's still young, some dashing young man might try to woo me," Alptraum jokes, "Oh, you mean a fruity drink. Sure, fruity flavor is fine, but no actual fruit."
"Hmmm, can I surprise you then?" Honey asks, her little teardrop tail wagging.
"Don't you usually?" Alptraum asks. "Go ahead."
Alptraum licks inside Tulani's ear again. "You do look nice tonight," he murmurs.
"Have a seat, and I'll be back in two shakes," the bunny promises, and sashays off towards the bar. It's possible that that is the only way Honey knows how to walk. Cricket doesn't wait for someone to hold her seat out, but sits right down.
"Well, we sort of match," Tulani purrs to Alptraum. "I didn't think to bring a silver cord for your ring though. I suppose I could use the chain.."
"Bunnies have such nice butts," Alptraum comments as he watches Honey leave. Then he's pulling out a chair for Tulani before he tends to his own chair. "The chain is still quite snug down there, than you very much," he grumbles to her.
"Only snug?" Tulani asks, sitting down in a way that suggests she is not actually a sailor. Lilith's lessons found fertile ground in her.
"Honey's sashay made things uncomfortable," Alptraum comments as he sits. "Good thing I can pick locks."
"So.. can you pick them with your tongue?" Tulani teases. "Or would you cheat and use your toes? It's an awfully small lock.
"I can pick locks," Cricket chimes in. She's tapping her fingers on the table now, in time to the rhythm of the dance music. It's not as percussive as Savanite dance music, being more flute-and-lute heavy.
"Of course I can pick a lock with my tongue. In this case I'd use whatever is most expedient, of course," Alptraum claims and shrugs. He glances at Cricket, then back to Tulani. "So, should I have her fitted with some sort of chastity device?" he asks about Cricket.
"You just have to scare her out of her lustful tendencies," Tulani suggests. "But.. I'm curious as to what you'd give her."
"It would involve a lot of piercing," Alptraum notes. "And complex locks."
"Chastity? Isn't it.. too late?" Cricket asks. Honey returns with a flagon for Tulani, and a tall glass of something clear for Alptraum. It's Fluffer that bring Cricket her glass of wine-with-fruit, but the Eeee is too focused on what Alptraum just said to notice.
"You're not pregnant, so no," Alptraum points out, then flicks her nose. "Though tonight with a lapi, you'll be plenty safe to go wild." His wrist flicks out and he takes the tall glass from Honey's tray, then sniffs it briefly. "So, what did you bring me? Some terrible poison?" he teases.
"Oh, something simple with just a dash of.. Honey.." the Lapi says and winks. Cricket notices Fluffer - and his state - and seems to short circuit until the glass is nudged towards her, so she picks it up sips.
Tulani does not quaff. But she doesn't sip. It's a big cup after all, and she doesn't want to be there all night drinking it.
"We also have jewelry and tools if you need them," the doe tells Alptraum.
Alptraum takes a deep drink, downing half of it in a few seconds. It's not like anyone would try to hurt him here.
Alptraum blinks. "Wait, what, you do?" he asks, coughing. "I think that would disappoint Fluffer."
It's only mildly alcoholic, and seems to be watered down. There's a hint of citrus, and a hint of doe.
"Oh, he'll probably loosen her up first," Honey notes.
Then maybe after she's beein fully ... used. So she'll have to squirm and want more, and be denied," Alptraum jokes. He then blinks at the taste and looks at Honey. "Is some of your, er ... in here?" he has to ask. It's either doe urine or lubrication; since he does taste the hormones.
"Love?" Honey fills in the blank.
"Love fluids, I suppose," Alptraum comments.
"Let me know if you'd like any more," the Lapi offers. The music winds to a stop, as the band takes a break, and some of the Skreeks catch their breath as well. A few Eeee need to be helped off the dance floor - some steps just aren't friendly to people with hands for feet.
"I can't tell if you're joking or not," Cricket notes. "I'm usually very good at reading people too." But she's already being drawn out of the chair by Fluffer's hand, as is she doesn't even realize it, and led to the dance floor.
Alptraum wiggles her fingers to Cricket, "Have fun!" Now, to Honey he says, "Sure, top me off." and offers her the glass ... right after he downs the rest of it.
The doe takes the glass and heads for the bar again, while Tulani turns and looks expectantly at Alptraum.
Alptraum looks right back at Tulani. Then he sticks out his tongue. "Bleah," he says, then skews one ear sideways. "Lemme guess, you want to dance?"
"Yes! They're doing gypsy dancing.. sort of. I think!" the Sphynx replies, grinning. "And I can actually move my legs in this gown," she points out. Since it's slit up the sides to her waist, that is certainly true.
"You can also flash people, or be bent over a table and ridden," Alptraum points out as he takes her arm and leads her out to the dance floor. "But I'll settle for a dance or two," he adds and winks. He really is a lightweight in drinking.
"It's all dark.. the contrast will just tantalize," Tulani claims. They're the tallest couple on the floor, of course, but the first tune is one you might here in a tavern - something of a warm-up dance.
Alptraum hooks his arm around Tulani's waist and pulls her close. "I promise only to be the most respectfully lewd," he says, then dips her back, twirls, and begins to dance to the tune.
Tulani laughs. "This is my kind of tune," she claims, and puts her hand behind Alptraum's neck. She actually 'dances' her wings a bit as well, and smacks his leg with her tail. The Skreeks around them are all doing their own thing, it seems, with no two following quite the same dance. Some of the men that are paired up are doing something that looks more like a slapping contest, or an elaborate version of patty-cake.
Alptraum dances with Tulani, which also occasionally involves drawing her really close ... and he licks her, or bites on her neck playfully ... or simply grabs her butt, as they move to the music. It's no planned dance; it's more just silly.
And when pulled close, Tulani runs her leg up along Alptraum's, and sometimes growls. Somewhere in the mix is Cricket and Fluffer, but they must be lost in the mix (or else behind Alptraum somewhere). At some point the music shifts into a more defined dance, which seems to involve a lot of spinning and orbiting, and for the women being picked up and swung to either side of their partner's hips and then spun around with them.
Good think Alptraum is reasonably strong, and has wings for counter-weight when he tries that. Granted the first few passes were him just watching others to learn the dance, then it's attemping it himself. Hopefully he doesn't throw Tulani across the room
The Sphynx cackles a bit, but also holds her wings in close to avoid through off Alptraum's balance. And then she tries to swing him on the next round!
Alptraum lets her; he probably weighs less than she does! "Wheee!" he cackles.
This prompts a few of the other girls to try, which leads to a lot of laughing piles of Skreeks.
"You broke the dance!" Alptraum admonishes, right before swinging her again.
"I didn't knock them over this time though!" Tulani says. Implying that she did used to do that. After a final round of twirling and swinging, there's a sudden stop to the music, followed by the sound of a jangling tambourine. A drumming on it follows, and then the rest of the musicians. It's not exactly like the music Alptraum grew up with, but it is certainly close to it. It's definitely lively.
"Now if we had some naked Khatta dancers this would be like home," Alptraum laughs as he seems a little wistful and in thought. "Dagh, I was so hopeless back then."
"Oh?" Tulani asks. She's only really seen the Khatta dance once before, but tries her best to imitate some of it. "Those girls probably teased you, didn't they?"
"Horribly," Alptraum admits, "But they did that to all the guys. Get everyone going ... then start throwing pots at them. Cruel!" He knows the dances, and now helps guide Tulani in them.
"So was there's a male counter-dance to this?" Tulani asks, holding her arms up a bit as Alptraum guides her. Some of the Skreek men certainly seem to be making suggestive motions with their hips, which may have prompted Tulani's thought.
"If there was, I don't know it. Men never joined them on stage," Alptraum admits.
"They never had their own dance?" Tulani asks. "All those poor bored Sylvanian housewives.."
"Well, these were gypsy dances to distract men so that their pockets could be picked," Alptraum points out, "They had a darker motive than getting all randy."
"So the safest way to watch was to be naked?" Tulani asks with a wink, and sways her hips.
"I wouldn't call that safe," Alptraum points out as he sways with her, and grind-rubs against her, just so, to make things a little harder to focus. Granted, it also makes things strain, but, he'll cope.
"Well, what could they still steal from you at that point?" Tulani purrs, grinding right back.
"Your virtue," Alptraum points out and doubles his grind, grinning.
"Oh, isn't that what you wanted them to do though?" Tulani asks. "Back home, we girls were never so bold or cruel. But I was the only feline, and I don't quite have all of those tendencies.."
"Yes, but they would only tease about doing it, but never doing it. It was very cruel," Alptraum comments, like you.
"Now now, I don't tease like that," Tulani claims. "Those girls must have been terribly frustrated then, or did they have men on the side?"
"They knew how to tend to each other, and always did it when they knew one of us was peeping," Alptraum grouses.
This causes Tulani's brows to rise. "So they liked being watched?" she asks. "Exhibitionists? Wait, weren't they all sisters? They looked alike!"
"Yeah, so? There aren't many options in Sylvania and they at least knew what each other liked," Alptraum says and shrugs.
"They were surrounded by options it sounds like, including you," Tulani points out. "You were better off not getting involved with one," she says. "There were probably plenty of nice girls in the troupe."
"I was the weird bat," Alptraum points out and shrugs, "And they enjoyed messing with others. Don't deny me my childhood fantasies!"
"So.. there must have been at least one nice girl you've met that you liked?" Tulani asks.
"Phlagaea? Does she count?" Alptraum asks
Tulani considers, and says, "Actually yes, I think she does. As nice as you can get for a Yodh, certainly."
"You're a pirate, so you don't count," Alptraum points out. "And there were those vampires we rescued from the undead back in Sylvania."
"I'm not a pirate, that was.. my shadow life," Tulani insists. "Vampires? Oh, the family you and Arkold were with while I was helping on a barge?"
"Yes, them. Even if their porridge clotted," Alptraum comments.
"Nice girls, but not teasing or conniving?" Tulani asks. "Ranchers, right?"
"Yes. They raised hogs, mainly. Quiet, but nice. Except for Gunn, she was chatty, and nice," Alptraum notes. "But why ask about them?"
"Well, I just wanted to hear that you'd known at least some normal girls," Tulani says, and continues to grind to the music. "But that also means I'm special, right?"
"Well, you know how to read and write ... so you're not special..." Alptraum jokes lamely. "And you're not normal, either! But you're fun, and probably one of my closest friends."
"You're my best guy friend too, even when you're not a guy," Tulani says, and gives Alptraum a lick on the nose. "We second-hand dragons need to support one another, after all."
Alptraum laughs. "I don't even know if I have a gender anymore, I seem to fluidly slip between them so much now," he admits.
"So are you going fluidly slip between my gender tonight then?" Tulani asks. "Or do I have to fight the bunny?"
Alptraum smirks. "Which bunny?" he teases while grinning.
"All of them!" Tulani claims, and bumps herself up against Alptraum. "But I have your key! They'll just have to play with Cricket."
Alptraum laughs. "I can pick locks!" Alptraum reminds, "But I suppose I could spend some ... time with you. As Nicora, right?" He winks.
"Last time I saw her.. I can't imagine why you'd go through that!" Tulani admits. "The Seven Sisters are bizarre, you realize?"
"It keeps them in check if they focus on me," Alptraum points out, "And I can deal with it better than most. And yes, they are."
"Odin was a deity of wisdom, and Thassa was a goddess of the harvest back home," Tulani explains. "It's how our town got its name: because Odin was wise enough to Pass on it." She grins while saying it of course. She can do bad jokes as well!
Alptraum facepalms. "Ugh. Well, if you ever want to get into appeasing the Goddess' ... well, you already do, you're Barada's new toy, after all," he teases.
"I'm not a Yodhbarada," Tulani notes. "I'm not involved in the religion after all. I've certainly never met her."
After a moment, she then asks, "Why? Has she mentioned me?"
"I can fix both," Alptraum notes, "She's actually nice."
"And yes, she's mentioned you a time or two," Alptraum notes.
"Did she say nice things about me?" Tulani digs. Literally, as her claws come out a bit where she holds onto Alptraum.
"Nothing bad," Alptraum notes as he squirms.
"Buuuut?" Tulani asks, leaning in close, and squishing more against Alptraum. "Nothing bad isn't the same as something good."
"I think she wished you were younger, but otherwise have been a quite good acolyte," Alptraum tries to remember. "Something like that."
"I should be relieved she's not paying that much attention to me," Tulani says. "And I'm still young!"
"Oh, I could make you into a young Eeee and introduce you two," Alptraum offers.
"I don't want to end up like Cricket though," Tulani notes, and nods her head to indicate something behind Alptraum.
Alptraum looks over his shoulder. "What's wrong with Cricket?" he asks.
The girls legs are visible, at least. She's in one of the convenient 'pillow pits' near the dance floor. Fluffer's ears are also visible about the.. rest. There are certainly a few Skreeks in the pile, but it's difficult to tell how many, since they aren't uniformly colored.
"I still don't see the problem?" Alptraum has to ask.
"You'd set me up for something," Tulani claims.
"Well, not necessarily. I probably won't put her in chastity, but it's fun to tease her about," Alptraum notes, then shrugs a little and turns back.
"Channeling those Gypsy girls, hmmm?" Tulani asks, as the music changes again to something more folksy.
"What, do you think I should do that to her?" Alptraum asks. "She'd probably like it."
"Well..," Tulani says, thinking. "Make her into a grown-up. At least temporarily."
"You mean age her?" Alptraum asks, "Why? I'll think about it."
"She seems have trouble thinking she'll grow up," Tulani notes, as the pair gets pulled into a circle. Two dancers from opposite sides then dance into the center and do a step-dance around each other, left hands held together above their heads.
Alptraum ahs! "Well, that makes sense then," he argees before he's stuck in the circle and will soon have to look even more goofy.
The dance seems simple enough, but sometimes the dancers add little flairs of their own. The one opposite Alptraum is the Skreek girl in the layered dress, who likes to twirl as she heads for the center.
Alptraum uses his wings to act more like a floawing cloak of sorts as he moves out to join her in the center, and then when he gets to her ... Well, he picks her up and spins her around so her dress flares out ... then he puts her down before she can kick him!
Rather than struggle, she puts out her arms and legs like she's a ballerina.. but she's put down, she's got Alptraum's silver scarf, which she waves around.
Alptraum heys! He tries to get that back!
The Skreek makes a game of keep-away, while also still dancing. She wraps the scarf around her as she twirls.. and when that doesn't seem to be effective.. she stuffs it down the front of her dress!
There's a lot of rhythmic clapping and foot-stomping from the ring during this.
Alptraum fines! And dances along with the game! And at some point he does manage to get his hand down her dress! He's not about to be beaten so easily!
The Skreek puts her hands to her cheeks in a mock gasp! But Alptraum can at least fell the edge of the scarf, so it hasn't gotten down below her corset.
Alptraum's fingers wiggle as he tries to get a grip on it! It's not like he's not familiar with skreek breasts! He's had some of his own as Nikky.
To try and prevent the scarf from being retrieved (and because of the wiggling), the girl pinches Alptraum on the rear!
Alptraum yarks! "Hey!" he complains and jumps. Well, it at least prevented the retrieval. Still, he goes back in for it again!
This time the girl tries to spin around his delving hand.. before groping him again!
Alptraum stands his ground this time, and in spite of the groping, he makes a grab for the scarf!
Now he can't find the edge at all! At least until the girl produces the scarf from under her dress, and tries to wrap it around Alptraum's hand to capture it.
Alptraum acks, hand caught! "What are you doing?" he asks of the demented skreek.
Now that she's got his hand, the Skreek girl starts leading Alptraum through the dance! She grins all the while, and has one really shiny canine tooth.
Alptraum laughs and goes with it, because why not? Rats are fun, after all, and she probably likes all his facial decorations, or something.
She does reach up to tug on his nose-ring, and gives him a lick as well before finally releasing him so they can return to their spots in the ring.
Alptraum awws. He was ready to do something more with the rat. But, he goes right back to his spot too!
Tulani's competitive streak shows when she goes to meet her partner - a short Skreek man (or older boy). He looks rather intimidated, which probably brings out some of Tulani's feline (or draconic) tendencies. She picks him up, twirls him and generally leads while teasing him, so it isn't clear if he's terrified or excited or both. He does look a bit dazed after each of her 'wing hugs' that completely engulf the pair. The Sphynx does have to adjust her dress a bit when it's time for her to return to the circle.
Alptraum makes a face, then rolls his eyes at Tulani's antics. "Hopeless," he mutters, shaking his head as he waits to see if he will end up back in the circle or not.
There are only a dozen or so dancers, so the rotation moves quickly. Most of those that meet in the center are male, due to the lopsided ratio, but it doesn't matter much. Sometimes the men do complicated 'elbow dances' or just traditional male-female styles where the lead keeps switching. Skreeks aren't going to let little things stop them from having fun. When it comes around to Alptraum and the frilly-skirted Skreek girl again, she does something like a somersault into the center to show off how flexible she is. It also makes her look like some sort of spinning flower due to her skirts billowing out.
Alptraum counters by entering the circle with a wing flap ... then a slight cant of them. This causes him to glide in a circle around the skreek to the floor, while also blowing her skirt around in the process. Once he has landed, he skews his left ear to the side, then sticks out his tongue!
So the girl mirrors the expression.. as much as possible. Her ears aren't as flexible, so she squints her eye on that side instead. Then she spins around while 'snapping' her fingers by the use of flint rings that give off sparks.
Alptraum snorts and pulls the Skreek girl in close for the dancing and swinging. Of course while she's close he's using the shadow in private to tickle the skreek as they dance ... while maintaining a straight face.
She seems to work the wiggles and squirming from the tickling into her dance to hide them, but she does cackle a bit. It reminds Alptraum of Igorina. "You were 'sposed to spin an' snap too," she chides, and tries to tickle him back by getting her tail up a pantleg.
Alptraum twirls the skreek to extract the tail! "I buck the conventional," he claims, letting her go. Of course now he does a hand stand and snap ... with his feet. Then he's back upright and grinning.
"Hmmph," the girl goes, swishing her skirts before doing a hand-stand of her own. Skreek feet and Eeee feet aren't all that different. This time she shows off by rolling her shoulders as if they were hips, and doing things with her toes that would count as Savanaite innuendo.
So, Alptraum grabs her feet and makes her dance upside down! "Bwahahahah," he cackles!
She works with this (although hips aren't quite on a par with shoulders), and tries to mesmerize Alptraum with her tail. Of course, she also makes fart noises with her mouth, that only he can probably hear over the music and laughter of the circle.
Alptraum noms onto that skreek tail. Then Alptraum swings her around his body, swiveling her around and around until she's back upright, then he spits out her tail, and licks her snozz. This is follwed by a waggle of his brow.
"Wooo," the girl says as she tries to get balance. The spin and other antics have made her pop up out of her corset, but she hasn't noticed yet. "Stronger 'an ye look," she finally manages to say.
"I'm not a Babelite, so hardly a surprise!" Alptraum counters, picks her up and spins her, and then latches his lips on one of her ... bounties. And of course then he playfully suckles, because, well, it's there and tempting!
There's a lot of hooting from the crowd now, and the girl is surprised at first - but soon retaliates by trying to pull Alptraum's pants down with her feet!
Alptraum erks! Though he can only fight by wiggling his hips to try and avoid it since his arms are busy!
Of course, the girl still has her arms free, and grabs Alptraum's ears.. and rubs them between her thumbs and forefingers. "Ooooo, soft!" she squeaks. "What do they taste like?"
Alptraum says something like mmrrrghghgpththth! Then he nips her nipple to discourage her from biting his ears for food!
Bite she does though.. to return the nip at least. "Bleh! Dey don't taste like bacon at all.." she notes.
Alptraum has to wonder why she would think they taste like bacon in the first place? Who is this skreek? Still, he switches nips and suckles the other one for a bit, then spins her down and sets her back on her feet.
"Hey, I leakin!" she complains, and covers her breasts with her paws, just as the music cue indicates that it's time for the next pairing.. which means Tulani may try to one-up Alptraum somehow.
Alptraum smooches the skreek's nose and winks ... the back-slinks back into the circle.
Tulani winks at Alptraum, and sashays out to the center to meet her nervous partner. Then she offers her hand out - giving him the lead. The Skreek tries spin and dip her, while she tries to get him all hot and bothered. Given the nature of her dress, it's not a huge surprise when she comes back up from a dip with it down around hips, basically only being held up at that point by her partner's hands around her waist.
Alptraum shakes his head and grins. "Shameless!" he calls out to Tulani!
Sticking her tongue out at Alptraum, Tulani covers up.. by using the Skreek's ears as a bra. This causes the boy to panic a bit (since his head is pushed down, so he lets go and lets the dress drop off completely. So the Sphynx uses her wings as a white skirt. At this point she's taken the lead, using her grip on Skreek's shoulders to twirl them around.
Alptraum whistles! "Show off your bad self!", he catcalls to Tulani! "Move those wings!"
So Tulani does move them, making them act like a fluttering skirt. Of course they can't completely cover her butt. But she does release her partner, at least long enough that she can pull him in close for a bit of tango-dancing.
Alptraum laments if she were in range, he'd swat that cat butt. "You go, Captain Catbutt!" he calls out, since her but is on display and all! "Fanny Tango Time!"
In an attempt to distract Alptraum, Tulani kicks back with one of her feet at the right time to send her dress flying towards him!
Alptraum catches it out of the air, then sniffs it, just to be weird. And see if she gets it back after this, hah! "You can tell she's a sailor, her butt is huge!" he cackles.
The Skreek actually slips his hands down to daringly test this comment by giving Tulani a squeeze! There's a lot of goading from his friends leading up to it though. So Tulani swats his hands with her tail, but doesn't manage to dislodge them. So she grabs his butt, causing a loud squeak!
"Is she always like that?" the Skreek next to Alptraum asks.
"Fairly often," Alptraum has to admit. "She's kind of dangerous, though."
"All women are dangerous," the man claims. "It's the ones that know it that are really dangerous though. Usually after you marry 'em."
Tulani is has now managed to get her partner's pants off, and they are flying towards Alptraum.
Alptraum catches those pants! "I'm not married to her," he points out to the skreek. He then tosses the pants back at Tulani!
They hit her on the back of the head, which prompts to her moon Alptraum.. with her partner's butt!
"Does her husband know?" the Skreek asks Alptraum with a chuckle.
Alptraum gives the skreek a look. "She's not married," he comments.
"It's usually the wed-ones what is wildest," the man claims. The music marks the end of the turn, and while Tulani can wrap her wings around herself the Skreek has to grab his pants and scurry back to his place. There are some hoots from the girls though.
Alptraum keeps a hold of Tulani's dress, though! That cat will be stuck nude! MWahahahaha!
"So are you gonna put it on or not?" Tulani asks when she sees Alptraum clutching it.
Alptraum arches his brow. "Why would I put on a dress?" he has to ask. "I don't have the appropriate shape!"
"So?" Tulani teases. "I'd look fine in your clothes.. although you don't really have any hips, so that could be tricky.."
Alptraum rolls his eyes! And since he doesn't really have much shame, he answers her challenge by stripping down right there. Then he's shimmying into Tulani's dress!
Tulani gets Alptraum's shirt on at least.. and just ties his pants around her waist. This seems to prompt a new fad among the dancers.. seeing how many items of clothing they can swap while still making it seem like they're dancing!
At least the splits in the dress make it easy for Alptraum to wear.
"Hey, I even look better in it than you do! Alptraum challenges Tulani! Then he sticks out his tongue.
"I fill out your shirt better," Tulani counters, as the circle goes through its pairings.
"Only because you have knockers bigger than your head!" Alptraum calls out to her.
"They are not bigger than my head," Tulani argues. "They're brain-sized."
"Appropriate, because that's where you keep your brain!" Alptraum snickers, and roll-sashays his hips and butt in the dress.
"Ooo, I was sure you'd have made a butt crack instead!" Tulani teases, then cups her chest and says, "Two brains are better than one little one." This comes with a tailtip caress over Alptraum's crotch.
"Only if you know how to use them," Alptraum counters and then licks Tulani's nose! "You act like you want something, Captain Catbutt."
"Maybe I wanted your pants," Tulani counters. But it's Alptraum's turn to dance again!
"Or what was in them," Alptraum counters to Tulani just before he has to enter the circle. And since he's the one in the dress, he twirls into the center to meet up with the skreek!
His partner isn't wearing pants, but she does seem to admire the dress. So she dances with her back towards Alptraum, and starts to undo her corset laces. "Ye can help too," she tells him over her shoulder.
So, Alptraum helps ... by draping his arms around the skreek and helping pull lace by lace free on the front, around to loosen the back too until he cal slip it off the rat. Of course, he's also rubbing up against her any change he gets ... and he's disturbingly good at swaying his hips as if he were a woman.
There's nothing under the corset, since she clearly spent her budget on lots of layered skirts. Once she's free she does start 'bumping' her rear up against Alptraum though, while starting to peel off her first skirt layer.
Alptraum bumps her rear right back, and sticks his tongue out at Tulani from here. His hands are wandering a bit all over the skreek, teasing and claw-dragging to be distracting. Including along her butt, and between her legs.
"Woo, gotta get there th' long way, Batty," she cackles, and tosses a skirt over her shoulder at Alptraum. Meaning she expects him to go through the rest of them.
"What is your name?" Alptraum has to ask the skreek as he starts to strip her of her skirts. It's slow and involves having to spin her around just to get it loosened up.
As she spins around, the Skreek says, "Oooo, getting innamate now, are we? I'm Revalie, who're you?"
"I'm surprised you don't know," Alptraum says with a fangy grin. "But the name's Alptraum," he comments, then throws the extracted skirt at Tulani!
The Sphynx has to reach out to grab it, since it is rather floaty, so she can't cover herself fully with her wings. There's so much hooting by this point that it hardly matters though.
And it's on to the next skirt, which involves shimmying it down the skreek's legs!
"Ouch-trauma?" Revalie asks, pausing in a spin to boop Alptraum on the nose. "Where does it hurt?"
"Nightmare, if translated," Alptraum remarks as he liberates one more skirt and waves it like a flag. Then he leans in and licks her ear, noting, "Also known as the Barsunala, if that helps."
"I hain't been to da bar yet! But yeah, bar soon sounds good!" Once the last skirt is gone, it's just the pantaloons, and also some playing with front flap of Alptraum's dress.
Alptraum rolls his eyes. He wouldn't be surprised if this was one of the Goddesses in disguise at this rate! To remove the pantaloons, he uses a different tactic. He grabs her hips, which allows him to slip the shadow into the pantaloons, then expand them outward like a giant balloon! Then he simply lifts her out of them! Tada!
"Pardon me!" Revalie says, looking embarrassed. "Don' know the power o' me own butt sometimes!" She then starts grabbing toward the shoulder-straps of Alptraum's dress.
"Hey now, I'm not that easy of a girl," Alptraum claims and defends the shoulder straps!
"Are you dat easy of a guy though?" the Skreek asks, and tries to pull up the dress from below.
Alptraum tries to guard down below next with his wings! "I have to be a bit of a challenge," he claims.
"Oh, why?" the Skreek asks, and does a bit of a belly-dance before Alptraum, striking sparks from her rings. "Guys shouldn't play hard t'get!"
"Why not? The harder the chase, the better the victory," Alptraum points out as he shimmies backwards a bit, keeping slightly out of grabibng range.
Revalie closes the distance with a somersault, this time landing with her knees over Alptraum's shoulders. She just hangs down his front! "But then ye' be too worn out to celebrate the victory!" she replies.
Alptraim licks her in a delicate place! Long tongue and all! "Hah! Hardly!" he comments. "I have endurance thanks to the cat bird," adding as he spins around!
"Ahahah!" the Skreek squeaks as she's spun around, even throwing her arms out. "She wit you? Too bad, was gonna jump ya after the dance!"
"Sometimes, but I doubt she'd care if you did! Pretty sure plenty plan to jump her!" Alptraum cackles as he deposits the skreek on a table on her back so he can slide his shoulders free!
"Hey, we outta da circle!" she notes. But the music has already changed, and Tulani just.. slings her partner over her shoulder and carries him towards Alptraum and Revalie. "So.. do we want to grab Cricket too?"
"Grab her for what, exactly?" Alptraum has to ask. "And I don't know if you've noticed, but you seem to have a slight case of skreek," he adds and gestures to the skreek over her shoulder. "Do I need to lance it?"
"I had to grab him to put me over the clothing count top," Tulani claims. "I have the most clothes now! I win!"
"I had no idea that was the game," Alptraum has to admit, one ear skewed sideways.
"That makes it easier for me to win!" Tulani cheers. "And we should grab Cricket for whatever we're going to do with our Skreek-toys."
Alptraum dutifully grabs his skreek and flips her over his shoulder! "I saw we feed them to Malagast," he jokes as he starts towards the pile that is Cricket.
For the most part, Fluffer is still tending to Cricket. The Skreeks are just assisting by tickling and squeezing in places. The Eeee has also been blindfolded for some reason. Maybe it's a Yodhbarada fetish.
Heyy, allaya. Grab that bat and bring her along. We'll get a private room for some stuff," Alptraum comments, then also adds to the skreek of his shoulder, "And if you're still thirsty, I know something you can suckle on." Wow, crude ... but then it's been that sort of night.
"Open bar?" Revalie asks. "Who's that?" Cricket squeaks. It looks like she's got earplugs too! "The playroom is available," Honey notes, because of course she's nearby and eavesdropping.
"To the playroom, then!" Alptraum declares. "Lead on o' heart-shaped butt of doom!" he tells Honey.
With several people being carried (or borne in the case of Cricket), it's an odd procession to the upper level. The Playroom is lit for Eeee, but Honey turns the lamps up a bit to reveal all of the 'comfy looking' restraints and other toned-down dungeon gear.
Alptraum sets down the skreek he was carrying. "It looks like a dungeon that was attacked by Dr. Pike," he remarks to Tulani. "Whoever heard of fluffy restraints?"
"I made some of these myself," Honey pouts. Cricket is borne to one of the padded tables, and gently shackled down. "What's going on? Helloooo?"
"Your doom! Don't worry about it and enjoy the ride!" Alptraum calls out to Cricket. He turns to grin at Honey and notes, "It's not a scary dungeon, is my point. We have an Eeee friend that loves taffeta."
"Lots of Eeee like frilly things," Honey says. "This room is very popular."
"That's weird," Alptraum admits. "I don't.
Tulani sets her Skreek down, and boy does he look nervous!
"
Alptraum looks at Tulani. "I feel like we're rough and crude in comparison. You even scare skreeks," he notes.
"You're just one Eeee, not lots of Eeee," Honey points out.
"I think he's just shy around women," Tulani says, and then pulls his pants down. "Now I have all the pants! Bow before me!"
Alptraum bows before Tulani! "Wait a moment," he says, then gets up to go inspect how much of a mess poor Cricket is right now.
She doesn't look the worse for wear, other that lots of mussed up fur.. and an attached buck. She certainly hasn't gone hoarse from squeaking at least, and doesn't complain about Skreeks sucking on her toes.
"Well, that's going to be one well-used Eeee!" Alptraum cackles. "It would be mean to seal her up afterward," he comments, then flicks her nose and now looks for the skreek he brought up. "Weren't you trying to remove my, er, dress?" he asks, then blinks. He holds out his hand to Tulani and requests, "Key."
"You said you were gonna pick the lock," Tulani says. She's got the key as a charm on her necklace right now.
"Key?" Revalie asks, and lifts up Alptraum's dress. "Ohhh!"
The Skreek that Tulani brought squeaks in alarm, wondering what he's been dragged into!
"Well, you're right here" Alptraum points out and smirks. "But, if you're going to be a pain, fine," he adds and reaches under his dress and finds the small lock. Then it's a matter of using a claw ... and seeing if he can get it to click!
It's a very tiny keyhole, and Revalie is down there giving him advice. "Wiggle it more to the left.. no, you're draggin' the lock. Want me to hold it for you?"
"Sure, go ahead," Alptraum concedes., while glaring at Tulani.
"I'll trade you the key for... the dress," Tulani offers, running the necklace through her fingers.
"We'll see," Alptraum remarks, and goes back to trying to pick the lock.
"Don't you need two picks?" Revalie asks. She's holding the lock, but her knuckles are also brushing against things.
Honey appears to be watching with interest as well.. possibly taking mental notes.
"Not necessarily," Alptraum comments, as he stares off into space since his concentration is elsewhere ... and it's uncomfortable.
"Would it help if the chain was tighter?" Revalie asks, her breath rather warm that close up.
"No, gah!" Alptraum complains. "If I don't get it soon, forget it! I'll go have a drink!" He's not about to let Tulani win thia.
There's finally a click of release! Followed by another click and an "Oops" from Revalie. And the chains get a bit tighter.
Alptraum's ears splay out to the sides and he winces! "Ow," he whines. After he recovers, he moves the dress out of the way to see just what happened.
The lock is open.. and the Skreek is holding the chains. She gives him an impish grin and makes a 'click' sound with the flint rings on her other hand. "Gotcha!"
Alptraum scowls at the skreek! "Not funny!" he claims. "Maybe I should just lock it back and go down to the bar! Hmph!"
"Awwww, but you got to tease me!" Revalie says, and gives Alptraum a lick down there.. and a bit of slack.
"The decor is getting to her," Tulani says, as she finishes strapping her Skreek down to another of the padded tables.
Alptraum tenses up! "Not like this I didn't!" Alptraum points out. "I'm the only weirdo I know of with such equipment."
"How sensitive are the rings?" the curious Skreek asks, and slides the chain back and forth through them.
Alptraum goes eeeeek! "Well, they're not, but they vibrate things that are," Alptraum mutters.
And with that tidbit of information, Revalie asks, "Well, don't you squeakers buzz-beam each other in the goolies alla time anyway then?" This is followed by a zerbert in a sensitive place.
Alptraum warughs and almost jumps! "I don't do that to anyone, and I've never even heard of it!" he squeaks as he pats down his nor frizzed body. He stares at this skreek; she is almost as bad as some people she knows.
Then she's hopping up to her feet, chain and lock in one hand. "Why not? Try it on me! I wanna know what it feels like!"
Alptraum looks very confused. He's not even sure what she wants, so makes a sort of guess. True to his nature, he can make a very high-pitched click with his voice that only Eeee can here (it's even beyond lapi), and aims its focus right at her tender bits since they're a few inches from his face now!
The rat covers herself with her hands immediately after the ping, and.. titters. "Tickles!" she notes.
Alptraum snorts and rolls his eyes. He looks at the rat again ... and then does it again. How has he never heard of this before?
"Ahahaha!" Revalie laughs and dances around, still holding her crotch.
Alptraum targets Tulani next while she's not looking, then the rat again! He'll have to remember this! Smug bat time.
"Nice try, but I had lots of Eeee on my last airship job," Tulani notes. "Sonic-gropes don't bother me anymore!"
Revalie is rolling on the floor though.
Alptraum pouts. "See if I grope you in any way again," he grumbles at Tulani. Then it's waiting for the rat to stop rolling around before he pings her again.
This starts another bout of laughing and squirming. "Ah! Dat's 'nuff!" she squeaks.
So of course Alptraum does it at least three more times. Revenge for the chain teasing.
This leaves the Skreek gasping for breath at the end!
"You're a real weirdo, Revalie," Alptraum comments to the gasping skreek and grins. "But now that the chain is off .. and you still want a drink, well .. you can nurse on me," he comments and waggles his brow suggestively.
After the girl catches her breath, she asks, "No other surprises down dere?" as she gets up onto her knees.
"One or two," Alptraum concedes and shrugs. "Blame the cat for 'em."
"So she the one put the chain on, eh?" the Skreek asks before starting to nose about. Her whiskers tickle.
Alptraum squirms and wiggles, but at least with the chain off things have room to move about and, well, present. "Yeah, and I let her, cuz I'm an idiot," he claims, sounding very distracted.
"Too much bar sooning," Revalie says before she has her mouth full. She.. uses her cheeks somehow as well.
Alptraum arches up, one eye bigger than the other! "Oh hello," he says. Wow, now he knows what it's like to be on this end of ... this. Wow, no wonder everyone wanted Nicorina, Nicora, or any of the other female forms to do this to them.
Now Revalie tries to control the Eeee a bit more, but focusing on different areas of his joystick.
Alptraum is twitching and moving and shifting all about at the skreek moves things around. He also makes all sorts of weird sounds, squeaks, hisses, and weird warbles for that matter!
Revalie starts clicking her rings in time to Alptraum's 'dance' and tries to get him to dance more, by moving her head as well.
When someone has a grip on that area, they move when prompted to! They also gasp and inhale, and shiver. And the part being held shivers and twitches too, in time with his heartrate!
The Skreek is having a lot of fun! Maybe Alptraum is more responsive than a Skreek would be. Still, she doesn't neglect the suckling part.
Alptraum's eyes are almost crossed. "If you keep that up, Imma going to pop soon," the Eeeee warns as his toes splay out, then grab onto the skreek's thighs.
"Ain't that the point?" Revalie mutters around Alptraum. But she does.. ease up a bit.
So, it lasts a bit longer, but at some point the poor bat is squeaking like mad and shivering! And things down below are twitching like mad as he well and truly pops!
"Blurp!" the Skreek goes, but keeps things contained until the bat is finished.
Alptraum is kind of impressed. That's hard to do until you practice a few times. He should know, which is embarrassing.
Alptraum eventually sort of calms down and goes semi-limp. "Ooookay, that was ... wow," he mutters.
"Hmm," Revalie ponders. "That didn't taste like banana. Or else.. that guy gave me something that wasn't a banana. Have I been fooled by fake bacon too?"
Alptraum looks at Revalie oddly. He almost asks if she were nuts ... but instead just pounces on her and pins her to the floor. In a moment, he's inside her too and looking right into her eyes. "Gotcha," he murmurs, then kisses her.
"That's more like a banana!" she declares. She seems to have an odd relationship with food.
Alptraum looks confused, but he's stuck his bit in crazy many times, and has been the crazy stuck into ... so he just goes with it. So Revalie soon discovers what all the bumpiness was for and that it wasn't some weird STD!
This.. makes her cackle again! It's that particularly girly-yet-insane sort of happy cackle that only Skreeks seem capable of. She also shows that she might have some experience with Eeee, since she uses her feet to grab onto Alptraum's legs like Eeee tend to do. "What's that?" Cricket calls out when she's allowed to catch her breath. "Blakat?"
"No, it's not Blakat," Alptraum yells, "Just enjoy your bunny before I close you up for good!" And since the skreek has a grip, it gives him some really good leverage, which means he's soon scooting the skreek across the floor as he pummels her!
With all the extra squeaking it easy to miss out on things around him. But Alptraum's biggest oversight is losing track of Honey.. until he feels a swat of velvet across his rear. "You need to go harder than that for a Skreek," the bunny notes, and swats him again with a soft version of a cat-o'-nine-tails.
Alptraum squeaks! And looks back at Honey. Has she gone all scary?" It causes him to pause for a moment, then go harder than he was!
"Dat better!" Revalie cackles, sounding more Skreekish all the time. She digs her claws into the floor to keep from sliding too much. "Makin' bacon now! I LIKE BACON!"
Alptraum has no idea how this corresponds to making bacon, at all. It's not like he's in hog form, after all! Still, he keeps at it while trying to keep one ear on Honey!
"Add more side to side wiggle," the bunny instructs, punctuating things with slightly hard smacks of her velvet flail.
Alptraum eeks! "Yes, ma'am!" the bat squeaks and does a whole lot more wiggling all about while he's moving the skreek about the floor.
"Nibble her ears, they're very sensitive," Honey keeps on instructing. "Supposed to taste like bacon, but I wouldn't know."
Alptraum has no idea what bacon tastes like, but nibbles on the skreek ears never the less! "This is an interesting change in Honey!" he thinks as he continues to inch the skreek around the room!
The bunny walks around, giving a critical eye to the endeavor. "You aren't squeezing her boobies," she points out. "Don't ignore them. Skreeks like having them played with after all. Shoulders and neck are good for nips. Don't be too gentle."
Alptraum good griefs, Honey is almost as bad as a Yodhinala instructor! So, now it's groping and fondling the skreek chest, biting ears, then her neck and shoulder ... and keeping the hips moving! It's more complicated movement than most men can keep up with! Slave driver!
Maybe Honey is the one who trains the other staff? She was supposedly trained by Bara herself after all. Still, it's probably a bit much when she reverses her 'flail' and uses the leather-wrapped handle to poke him from behind. "You're doing great," she compliments Alptraum. "Skreeks really enjoy the mood elevators from your milk, so you want to fountain as much as possible. I can help you if you need it," she then offers.
This makes Alptraum pause. "What?" he has to ask and looks over his shoulder. "Milk? What milk?"
"Man milk! Baby batter!" Honey explains. "It's got stuff in it that makes mammals feel good, or something. Skreeks are very sensitive to it."
"It does?" Alptraum has to ask, looking really confused. "First I've heard of that." He shakes his head a little, then goes back to, well, what he was doing. He also apologizes to the skreek for the delay!
Revalie just cackles and digs her toe claws in a bit tighter around Alptraum's thighs. "Dat what it is? Explains a lot!" she laughs.
Alptraum goes "Ow! Claws!" Of course it makes his go a little faster in hopes she lets go! He also has to ask Honey while the rat scoots across the floor, "What has gotten into you?"
"Nothing in the past hour," Honey complains. "Besides, this is my favorite room and you made fun of the decorations. Don't you like my helpful tips?" she says, switching back to her sweet doe tone.
"I don't trust you aren't secretly a pervert!" Alptraum claims, when he's scooted sufficiently away from Honey so she can't hit him!
"What? Secretly?" the doe asks, shocked. The rat on the other hand is being extra squirmy. "Kin I be on top?" she suddenly asks.
"Uh, sure?" Alptraum says hesitantly. Then he rolls the skreek around and around all over the floor! Eventually, he stops and she's on top!
This at least means she's not digging into his legs.. just his shoulders. Then she starts.. dancing? There's a lot of hip wiggling and bouncing certainly. At least she's not busty enough to risk pummeling his face with her assets. She's also getting squeezy.
Alptraum makes all sorts of faces! "Ooookay, that's some interesting muscle control," he squeaks out as he tries to retain his composure and not, well, explode!
And then Honey is kneeling down next to them. "Are you holding back?" she asks Alptraum.
"Yes?" Alptraum squeaks out through clenched teeth.
"Nonono," Honey says, and runs her fingers through Alptraum's hair. "Let go! This is just the start!"
"But I can't go a bunch of times!" Alptraum claims!
"Oh, you let me worry about that," the bunny says, sounding not at all sinister. "I can guarantee results."
Okay, that scares Alptraum enough that he loses focus, then control, and then he's squeaking and making ridiculous faces!
"Eeeeeee-hee-hee!" Revalie squeaks in harmony, but her face isn't that ridiculous. But then she's smushing Alptraum's face into her cleavage, so nobody can see his expression for very long.
Alptraum mmmmfts! He ... no, he wouldn't really complain either way, even as he, well, explodes in an intense, if short, moment. Then he goes all limp.
"Now is where I show you how some of the important nerves of your body work," Honey says, and start poking and pinching spots along Alptraum's inner thighs.. until some of the limpness goes away.
Alptraum mmmfts and twitches, then his ears splay out! "That feels funky!" he squeaks out in sudden shock.
"It'll feel fine once you start bucking your hips again," Honey promises. "It gets easier too."
Alptraum eyes Honey, wondering what the doe is up to! But, he does start bucking his hips again after another few moments of rest.
Revalie is still holding Alptraum's face captive, thinking that's what is making him active again. "Yah! Harder!" she cackles.
Alptraum's back is gonna give out! But, he keeps going because he's now scared of both these crazy women!
"Here," Honey says and carefully rolls them onto their sides. This takes some of the weight off of Alptraum, but also leaves the rat's leg pinned awkwardly under him. "Once you get her warmed up, things will go faster, don't worry," she says.. without making it clear if Revalie is already warmed up or not.
Alptraum mmmmfts? Wilt his hip movements, they start going in a circle instead. Just what is Honey's goal here? She's never acted like this before!
"Ahaha, the room i' spinnin'!" is the Skreek's take on this. Finally Honey puts a hand on Alptraum's hip and says, "Time to pause and change positions, so I can teach Rev some tricks."
Alptraum finally looks up. "What?" he asks, looking confused. He starts to pull away from the skreek, not sure if Honey is taking him, or she's taking her!
The bunny helpfully repositions the pair, still on their sides but this time with Revalie's back to Alptraum. "Now, start slow, Alptraum," Honey says, putting his hand on the rat's upper thigh.
Alptraum has to take a moment to re-orient himself and get things back in the right spot (which isn't easy!). But, once he's 'fitted' back in, he starts moving slowly.
"Now.. Rev, move your hips like so.." Honey says, changing the angle of things slightly.. which somehow makes things feel a lot nicer for Alptraum. "Every species has an ideal geometry that lines up with others," she claims.
"And rats prefer from behind?" Alptraum has to ask, then starts twitching and even squeaks a couple times when things feel very nice!
"Rats are very versatile, but in this case it's more of a Skreek and Eeee situation where it works best.. at this point," Honey explains.
"This time?" Alptraum asks, then shakes his head a little. This lapi is confusing as all get out!
Alptraum continues to move slowly, and does have to admit it feels quite good!
Revalie is also making happy rat noises, and Honey is keep a close watch on their movements to make sure nothing goes out of line. "Sensitivity levels vary the longer you go, so it's important to keep the pace appropriate to avoid over-stimulation," she instructs.
Alptraum is keeping things slow. It feels really nice, but he's mindful to not go so fast as to explode again. Still, his facial expressions likely give away e likes it.
Now Honey starts coaching Revalie a bit, "I want you hold your breath until the count of ten." She doing something to the Skreek's front that Alptraum can't see without shifting his position.
Alptraum tries to lift his head to see if he can see what's going on, but he's also careful to not shift out of the current position!
"Wha-" is as far as Revalie gets before there's a sudden spasm of sorts down there. It does something to Alptraum's implanted studs that feels a bit like a shock.. and that's enough to put them both over the edge again!
Alptraum's eyes go wide, then it's a flurry of squeaks and higher pitched sounds as it comes out of the blue and makes him twitch like mad, and see starts! Why has Mave never taught him this?!" he has to wonder!
Honey does wait until the pair seems to stop twitching. And then she takes their wrists and checks their pulses. "Hmm, Rev may need a break," she admits. "But you're good for a few more, right Alptraum?"
"I have no idea," Alptraum whimpers as he lies there, limp and still a bit twitchy.
"I'm not as good as Bara of course," Honey claims, "but I can try if you're willing. It's been awhile since I got to really work someone out."
Alptraum eyes Honey warily, then nods his head slowly. "Oooookay," he concedes a bit nervously.
First, the bunny separates the bat and rat, and rolls Alptraum onto his back while Revalie recovers. She spreads Alptraum's legs a bit, then starts with a 'massage' of his over-taxed bits using her lips and tongue.
Alptraum inhales softly, the small of his back arching up a little. "Okay, that feels nice," she murmurs, eyes half-closed. "No biting!"
"No promises," Honey retorts, before going back to being very gentle. Of course, Eeee don't have whiskers like Lapi do, so those add Honey's own twist to things as she uses them to provide and extra bit of ticklish caress.
Alptraum ends up giggling now and then, and after a bit, his hips are reflexively rolling along with the teasing. "You are so good at that," he admits, ears flushing hot.
After a bit of a squeeze test for firmness, Honey mounts up on the bat. And just sits there, doing some sort of deep breathing. "Breathe with me," she says, using sweeping motions of her hands to indicate when to breathe in and out.
Well, it's definitely relaxing, even if something nice and velvety is gripping him. Soon, he's breathing in and out in time with the bunny. One ear is still splayed sideways and he's watching her oddly.
Once Alptraum is in sync, Honey starts to flex her floor muscles - all in time with the inhale (squeeze) and exhale (relax).
When Honey clenches, Alptraum squeaks and arches up! It takes him a few more times of this before Alptraum doesn't get surprised and can even manage to breathe in time with her.
Just when his pulse feels lined up - or rather, he thinks he can feel Honey's pulse, she moves. It's jarring, and the shock induces a unexpected release. It can't have been much though, but it was certainly pleasant.
Alptraum gasps out and his hips jerk in surprise! "Woah!" he then squeaks out and takes a deep breath. "That felt ... interesting," she admits.
Honey leans forward a bit now, and takes Alptraum's wrists in her hands. "Just let me move your hands now," she says.
Alptraum wiggles his fingers at her. "What? You don't trust me?" he teases as he play-wrestles a few seconds with Honey. He stops quickly, though and adds, "All right, go ahead..."
First the doe rests Alptraum's hands on her hips, saying, "Just relax and feel. Close your eyes if it helps. Don't try to control your arms or hands at all."
Alptraum closes his eyes, because without seeing, it's easier to focus on feeling (and hearing). "All right," he says.
So Honey moves his puppeteers his hands over her hips, then rump, then up her belly. It has an odd effect. The combination of soft fur, body heat and not being in control makes it a bit blurry to the bat where he ends and Honey begins. It's all very gentle, with subtle movements to keep his 'interest' up, and the doe's soft muttering. It all seems like everything past his elbows is part of the bunny now, and by extension the parts that are inside the bunny. It's not like kenning, but also feels a bit similar, just via a sensory illusion.
"That feels ... really odd," Alptraum mumurs, brow furrowed slightly in confusion with how it all feels. "A very nice odd, though," he rumbles softly, not feeling nearly as nervous now, and rather enjoying feeling like part bunny this way.
Up over her breasts, and then he can feel her breath against his hands. And then.. a nibble! One of his fingers is in her mouth, being greeted by a dry tongue. It makes him feel very warm where the two are connected.
Alptraum actually rumbles a little. That nibbling feels really nice, in an odd sort of way. Reflexively, his hips roll when things feel super warm. "Okay, wow," he murmurs.
As Honey starts to suck on that finger, she uses her muscles to also pull up on Alptraum in time, linking the finger (which is already in a grey zone of ownership) to its larger boneless cousin down below.
Alptraum's jaw goes slack and he gasps out a little. That feels ... it's hard to really tell the difference. Both parts equally feel like they're being sucked on, somehow. "Good Gods," he murmurs out softly.
Honey takes advantage of this odd effect but pulling the finger all the way into her mouth and slowly slurping it. This makes it seems like Alptraum is impossibly deep inside of her.. and then little brushes against her teeth seem to invert when translated, so that the hard embedded bumps down below seem to map to the teeth above, so it isn't clear if he's in two mouths at once.
Alptraum's back arches up and he gasps, eyes still closed. The sensation is almost overwhelming; he's never felt anything quite like. It makes his brain even blank out for a bit and he exists only in the moment, as sort of an animal of pleasure and fuzziness. Then his focus comes back slowly and he draws in a slow breath. "Wow," he murmurs ever so eloquently.
And then.. it's not quite a release. It's a flow. It isn't even immediately apparent that it's happening at all. It's very drawn out, not at all like an fountain, burst or explosion. It's just a pleasant flow of tension out of him.. but also still blended between his finger and his shaft. And Honey seems intent on drawing it out as long as possible.
Alptraum lets out a slow breath, a soft moan, as things seem to relax slowly and all tension seems to leave him. His hips continue a slow roll, and his hands remain just where the bunny put them. He's not fighting it, he's simply riding it out and wow, is he enjoying every moment of it, even if it feels weird as all get out.
Eventually there is a limit that's reached, and Honey begins to slowly return Alptraum's limbs to his own control. "This is used as a way of communing with Inala.. well, it was.. for some," Honey explains. "Bara wouldn't give me all of the details."
"I ... can see that. It felt absolutely amazing," Alptraum concedes and runs his now returned hands gently over her sides and upper thighs. "I wouldn't mind doing that again sometime."
"Well, now it's time for the real Inala part," Honey says. "I'll have to blindfold you and maybe strap you down for it."
"Ooookay, go right ahead," Alptraum agrees, feeling all giddy and silly. After that, he'd probably agree to anything!
The doe has to enlist Tulani's help, since her rat is passed out and doesn't need the restraint table anymore. Plus Honey isn't strong enough to left Alptraum, who is still a bit noodly at this point. Honey blindfolds the bat before his wrists and angles are restrained, so isn't sure who is doing that. At least his wings are left free. Then there are sounds of clinking glass.
Alptraum does feel limp, and his limbs are a bit tingly as if having been asleep. "Wheee!" he giggles as he's lifted up. No fighting as he's placed down, and the blindfold makes him shiver a little. The restraints ... no fighting as those are fit too. He knows no real harm will ever happen here to anyone ... so he's more excited than anything. The clinking makes his ears perk and flick about as he tries to use the sounds of the room to paint what his eyes cannot see.
There's an odd, minty odor, and a sudden coldness touching his chest as something is smeared across it. Not just willy-nilly though: he's being painted on, and it's obviously Inala's symbol, writ rather large.
"Ooookay, now that feels funky. Why are you painting Inala's symbol on me?" Alptraum asks, ears still going all over the place.
The sweeping 'wings' of the Flower are done, with the tips covering Alptraum's nipples, which tingle despite feeling chilled. "Rituals have rules," is Honey's answer. Then she starts with the "stem", starting at the bat's chin. This is a slow process with a lot of lingering touch between applications, where the warmth of Honey's fingers contrasts with the coolness of the.. paste or whatever it is.
"It still feels weird," Alptraum claims, though he's not saying to stop. "It's cool, what exactly are you putting on me?" he inquires while he remains still, not even making the restraints twitch.
"It's.. mostly herbal," Honey claims, using two fingers to draw the line down Alptraum's tingly-chilled chest. It's obvious where the root of the flower is going to end up at this rate.
Alptraum sniffs at the air. "That doesn't really answer my question," Alptraum points out. "I'm not complaining, I'm .. enjoying this. I'm just curious."
"There's mint it in, and something from.. some other plant, or animal," Honey explains. "Bara doesn't give out the recipe." She actually circles around Alptraum's own root, but doesn't ignore his bulbs. The sensation is almost burning, in a frostbite sort of way. It makes things want to pull up into his body where it's warmer and less tingly.
Alptraum hisses and arches up this time. "Oookay, that's a little uncomfortable!" he whimpers. His toes splay out now too and wiggle all about.
When things begin to spiral up (slowly) around the shaft, the effect is quite the opposite. It's like the stuff is a blood magnet. Especially when the tip is circled.
Alptraum sucks in his breath! "Wargh!" he complains as now he's squirming, and making the restraints creak a little.
"T'ch, not time to get Her attention yet," Honey says, and then draws her finger up the underside of Alptraum's shaft, as if drawing up something from deep inside of him. "Try to relax.."
Alptraum sucks in a breath and tries to relax. "Easier said than done!" he points out. "It feels like things are changing on my body," he adds as he slowly quits pulling on the restraints.
"Well, mere flesh isn't suitable for Inala," Honey claims. "It needs to be elevated." At least it seems like the tingly-icy-hot paste part is done with.. or else Alptraum just can't feel if any more is being applied at this point. But there are not pinpricks of deeper sensation, but at least Honey's claws are blunted. It's as if she's using that part like a musical instrument.. which is enhanced when she blows across the tip, which sends a flurry of odd sensations flowing down the spiral path.
Alptraum's toes splay again and he squeals at that. The restraints pull again as he reflexively jerks from the sensations. Is this like some sort of priaprism curse from Inala? HE tries to focus on the rest of his body, his nipples, the dangly bits, to try and see how all of he feels..
The problem there is that the sensation travels all along the 'flower' pattern. It's not as intense once it reaches his nipples though.. until there's a breath across those causing a new ripple-center. And more breaths, in different spots, causing things to interfere, amplify and move around chaotically.
Alptraum grunts and squirms, she's deliberately trying to confuse what might or might not be happening! "Okay, this is kind of mean now," he hisses out, then licks over his lips. "This would drive men nuts.
The puffs of cold-hot breath stop.. only to be replaced by my more direct kisses, which are a lot more intense. The effect of these travels farther, especially when applied to the 'tips' of the diagram: chin, nipples, and root. This is followed by an ominous pause however.
Alptraum squeaks on each kiss, body arching up and a shiver follows. "Woah," he says in the pause," that was really intense." His ears start flicking about as he tries to figure out why there is a pause now ... and where people are.
The paste is back.. and this times it applied below the bulbs, all the towards the tailbone. Things tend to pucker normally, but this is a new level of that. At least until the pucker is broken and the stuff it applied internally. And not shallowly! Honey is trying to paint his prostate it feels like.
Alptraum sucks in his breath as his body reflexively arches up! Granted, that makes it easier for Honey to apply that paste, bit he can't stop the arching reaction. "Oh Dear Goddesses!" he cries out in shock. "What are you doing?!?"
"Preparing you for Inala of course," Honey says. Without removing her finger, she kisses and blows on Alptraum at strategic points in rapid succession, causing the waves of sensation to really crash around.. until they seem to line up, an intense crest at the edges of the Flower, which then rebound and move inward. They meet at the central stem, reaching maximum intensity at the center before moving down towards Alptraum's root. The wave moves along the spiral like a dragon's tongue, and when it reaches the tip Honey applies pressure with her finger. The blindfold makes sense now because it feels like a part of Alptraum just evaporated into an intense beam of electric-tingly light.
Alptraum doesn't arch, he can't. He's in too much shock from all the sensations attacking him all at once! What did she do? Why do things feel like it went away?! Is he becoming a Yodhinala or something? Now he really wishes he could see exactly what is happening. His fingers soon grab onto the restraints holding him, if for nothing else than provide some sort of grounding to cope with all the effects he feels all at once.
It doesn't last long.. but still longer than is comfortable! It feels like all of the strength he has is focused into that one volcanic point. And then, gradually, he begins to feel physical again. The icy-hotness has been burned away, leaving him with normal fur and skin (although still tingly in the bare parts). And there's still Honey's finger of course.
Alptraum draws several deep breaths as he tries to calm down. "That was ... egad," he whimpers now. He's not even trying to push Honey's finger out.
"It is an important initiation rite for the barinala," Honey says, and Alptraum begins to feel warm again - because a warm body is pressing against him. And purring. Honey does massage things a bit with her finger, either making sure there's no damage or seeing if she can coax anything more out of the bat.
Alptraum's body definitely reacts from the probing, and the purring next to him is managing to get him to perk up a bit more. "Wait, so ... that makes me a Barinala?" Alptraum has to ask. He knows the answer is likely no, but ... the question seemed appropriate!
"Well, I'm not a Yodhinala," Honey says. "Bara doesn't really hold to any of that anymore.. so these aren't sacred rites, so much as things she's using as needed." There's more weight as Tulani's weight covers Alptraum, and a rough tongue licks his nose to catch the ring. Tulani is probably holding it in her teeth now.
Alptraum tries not to sneeze! "Hello, Tulani," he tells the cat now likely holding his ring. Even though it can snap out, it would still hurt since it grips into that grommet tight, for, well, leashing.
Honey is still involved, and actually maneuvers things to get Alptraum inside the Sphynx, who starts to roll her hips in her usual feline way. The ring is released, and Tulani returns Alptraum's greeting by.. pushing a soft globe against his mouth.
Alptraum gasps out when he feels Tulani's familiar form clasp around him. His hips roll in return to hers, and he rumbles softly, then tilts his head, jaw opening. His tongue flicks out to find her nipple, then softly suckles upon the cat's offering. This part isn't so bad, and Tulani feels like ... something he'd been quite missing; there's a closeness that's beyond mere physicalness.
The purring is also relaxing. Honey is still 'helping' though, and from some of the 'stutters' in Tulani's purr, she might be manipulating her a bit too. Things go from warm to hot, as the big feathery wings drape down to cover whatever Tulani's body didn't.
And since Alptraum has had some major moments, right now he's using hive movement to help Tulani find hers; it's a focus on her breathing, how she grips, and how her milk tastes from his nursing to determine where she's at, and draw it out, and along, the right sort of path.
Honey certainly knows how to follow Alptraum's lead with a 'helping hand' (and fingers). Tulani certainly responds well, even if it does mean having a raspy tongue licking the bat's ears a lot when the Sphynx starts to get excited.
It isn't the most pleasant ear experience, but he distracts himself by switching to Tulani's other soft orb to make sure she's leaking equally (plus it tastes nice). He also gets sneaky, and uses just a little shadow up through where they are connected to curl about and move through her like a curious sort of snake ... just to make it a bit more interesting.
This brings about a slow hiss and gruffer purr, so Tulani is getting a bit more revved up. It's not technically kenning, after all. He's not getting into her veins and arteries! She runs her fingers up along his arms to twine them with those of his restrained hands, and the movement of her hips is enough to know that her tail is swishing back and forth.
The shadow is just there to make things more interesting and prehensile! Eeee aren't that big, but with the shadow, he can be 'enough' to hopefully satisfy her vartanish side. His fingers curl in with hers, and since his moth is busy, he can't really say anything. Probably good since knowing him, he'd ruin the moment.
But there's a barest of Lapi whispers, so only Alptraum can hear the suggestion: Ping her boob, see what happens. It's surely an abuse of sonar, and something that would never work on an Eeee.
Alptraum is an evil sort, sometimes, and he does exactly what Honey suggests. He has it in his mouth after all, and it's a small matter to make his volcal chords trigger a series of clicks that funnel right through his mouth...
"Eeee!" Tulani squeaks. "What was that?" she asks. Then, "Do it again! But if you ever do this to my butt as a prank I will get you."
Alptraum does it again, and longer. But to make it doubly worse, the shadow inside pokes her quite firmly each time he pings! It's not pinging her butt, after all.
"Ah!" Tulani squeaks again. She doesn't usually squeak. "Not quite a Lapi squeak yet," Honey notes to Alptraum.
Alptraum tries it again, with more of a spiral prodding, and a teasing infiltration of her cervix with a thread of shadow ... along with one really drawn out vibrating ping!
The squeaks turn into laughing and squirming. "Cheater!" Tulani cries. "Keep it up!" Her milk flows a bit stronger from the vibration of her glands though. Other fluids flow better as well, from the shadow tricks.
So, Tulani gets what feels like a womb full of playful, exploring, snakes while her chest jiggles and vibrates from numerous repeated pings. And throughout, he doesn't stop his hips either. Assaults of the senses returned in kind as it were!
She's starting to push back a bit more no, grinding against Alptraum as if really inspired. "I'll figure out how to get you buzzing too," she purrs.
Alptraum has had so much buzz, he's not sure he can buzz anymore! So instead he just fights back against her, trying to make her so lost in sensations she can't focus any on him at all! Why? Because it's now more of a challenge to overwhelm her than anything elseQ
There is an unexpected side effect of overloading Tulani: she starts to drool after her growls of pleasure run out. "What are you doing to her?" Honey asks. "That seems more than just boob-buzz."
Alptraum draws back the shadow some when poor Tulani is starting to drool! "I have my own tricks!" he claims when he releases her breast finally. Then it's one last push and the last vestages of anything in him explodes out and he arches up! Then he goes utterly limp and flat on the bed. Also, a lot of wheezing. "Might have overdone it," he admits.
Tulani is suddenly like dead-weight on top of him as well, which doesn't help. Honey probes a bit before removing her finger. "I think you'll both be fine after a bit of rest. Your young Eeee friend has already passed out as well."
"Rest, rest would be very good," Alptraum agrees, especially since his body doesn't even want to move (even if it wasn't restrained. He's also disturbed that he liked Honey's finger where it was, but he decides to keep that little bit to himself. "Just give us a few hours and we'll be fine, I .. think."
Alptraum sures!
