Anissa And Rebecca. While it was obvious who held the most control in their dynamic, it seemed more profound than a simple power based relationship they shared. Just as Mateo was starting his proposal, the way Nissa offered a seat to her partner, held her shoulder and took the initiative in responding to him was a clear indication that there's something much more deeper than a business entanglement between the two. Not that Mateo saw anything wrong with that, but it was crucial to know how to approach them from henceforth. To win Naughty Otter is to win them both, not one without the other.<br/><br/>Little did Mateo know what went in their wicked minds, especially Becky's. Oh the things his mind would conjure up if he even had a hint of what these ladies were contemplating ... or fantasizing. For all he knew, he was the bad man in the brazen suit and the triple A behemoth out to devour their business. An image he wasn't too opposed to if it would give him leverage. But from the way Nissa answered? That image would only hinder his plans. Not that it didn't make him smirk with the tone of sass Anissa laced her words with. She'd fit as a character in his proposed project, but that was something for him to fantasize about once this meeting was done.<br/><br/>The CEO had to wonder if their sexual themed games were born out of their visible attraction? Certainly every concept has a constant and vivid basis we experience every day. You can't be passionate about something you do not experience every day. This is how Abyss came to be. Mateo's own fascination with the gaming world morphed from a gaming enthusiast into a passionate game maker. Sometimes a bit too passionate ... passionate to the point he was ready to cut bridges and throw some people into the abyss where they cannot come back.<br/><br/>But the blonde was unto him. The sideways compliment was supposed to pave the path for an easier dialogue, but no, she knew just to handle him. Not a problem, if he never got a kick out of a game until he spiked the difficulty to the max, then negotiations are just the same. Smiling at her as she offered an example of their own success, he reached up with his free hand and scratched his stubbled beard, "Its not an easy mark to hit, but one everyone should strive to achieve once they step out of the indie zone." His eyes were now transfixed on Anissa. There's two  opponents present, but right now, Mateo was engaging the tank, leaving the support for later. "Also ..." He started, taking a few steps closer to her, "... No offense but I'm not here for a pocket mobile game. I'm talking a proper game. A strip down to your undies and grab a nice beverage and spend hours playing in the comfort of your room game." He let his smirk linger in her gaze before he dropped his gaze to his tablet and found their screen on the device list and connected, swiping towards his specified photo folder he prepared for this meeting.</div><br/><div align="center">(https://drscdn.500px.org/photo/140446231/m%3D900/v2?user_id=15258111&amp;webp=true&amp;sig=2a0ada729cfbdbd1a7578f07e1a523783c2b8df7b22281d263ad83703b7b61e5)</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">The image came up on the screen and he glanced up at it just to confirm it was the image he wanted up there. The ladies did a good job adjusting the lighting as it gave the image a more vibrant presence with the mix of colors. "Welcome to the world of Empty Abyss. That's the code name we're using until we finalize the project." He found it a proper name. It was a bottomless world where he can add anything to it. Yet it remained empty since the world was lifeless. His own quest right now was to gain these ladies' talent to make it alive, but not in the standard fashion.</div><br/><div align="center">(https://drscdn.500px.org/photo/114428643/m%3D900/v2?user_id=15258111&amp;webp=true&amp;sig=01e505918a6ef23f28c46c8b2f36c21f9155e20a043723bd209ae419113674d8) (https://drscdn.500px.org/photo/105832541/m%3D900/v2?user_id=15258111&amp;webp=true&amp;sig=1191f1df72efa23e110a2ee609dd53df48ae713ac47f986c698400055c85289b)<br/><br/>(https://drscdn.500px.org/photo/133280895/m%3D900/v2?user_id=15258111&amp;webp=true&amp;sig=415bdcff01dc54311a75e252baaf6d87b0106485c20eec76fc1986287281c868)</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">He started to bring the images in groups. Concept arts to his world. Embers lasting from half a decade's work. "As you can see, the main theme of this world is a constant presence of fog. It adds an atmosphere of mystique that could tie into the origins of the world once we agree on a certain lore. From a gameplay stance, it would add more suspense when someone plans on a raid or goes on a quest. Something to keep the player on their toes, yet provoke their intrigue to explore further since they do not see too far ahead into the horizon. Not to mention the skirmishes they get into can be more thrilling." He began to prowl the perimeter of the table, still not choosing to sit or even giving a hint to do so as he began to explain the basis of the idea to them.<br/><br/>He brought only the best concept visuals he had. There were far too many, but most were too intricate for a general proposition. But one image he enlarged more than the others. The one with the black and white waterfall. Standing behind the two ladies and facing the screen with them, he began to describe its theme, "Take this picture for example. That's Lifelost valley. Fogless, since that lingering fog brings life with it. With its absence, not only does living creatures disappear, but the very colors drained from those places. Imagine a lifeless waterfall, offering the first clue to our protagonists about the mysteries of their world?" As he turned to step away from his spot and circle around Nissa to stand by the side of the long table, he glanced at her profile, and if that did not give him a sudden throb and an involuntarily pull of his lower lip to bite on it. The woman was so curvy he could barely tear his eyes away from her. And from the stature of Becky, it seems she was just as perfectly endowed as her blonde partner.<br/><br/>"Now you might ask, what sort of touch I want Naughty Otter to add." He placed his tablet on the table and grabbed the back of one chair with both hands and braced himself on it as he let his eyes bounce between the gaming duo, "People want more out of their games. Especially when they propose an open world concept. More character development, more political intrigue, more trading and business options ..." he paused and then leaned further on the back of the chair and without a smile on his lips, "... More sex life." He let the worlds sink in, straightening himself and picking up his tablet to provide more visuals for them to look at as they contemplate his true offer that he just dropped on them.</div><br/><div align="center">(https://drscdn.500px.org/photo/262245497/m%3D900/v2?user_id=15258111&amp;webp=true&amp;sig=ebf7b7c3a427e8f199096777e0ca2776a170d1eedb0a4ef00b0d8da0c2ef970b) (https://drscdn.500px.org/photo/185487363/m%3D900/v2?user_id=15258111&amp;webp=true&amp;sig=7daa6c3ce68b60628f52d39195a4c39fef4ad13c685515ec36735665be14c790) (https://drscdn.500px.org/photo/16966369/m%3D900/v2?user_id=15258111&amp;webp=true&amp;sig=5c825066b429249b071e90508fd6403fb803cf736f2ae6b3225c261b91223a58) (https://drscdn.500px.org/photo/281453789/m%3D900/v2?user_id=15258111&amp;webp=true&amp;sig=73e043abb831f00a97fb397788ac40dc22b0357f06358c7f4e8662b9732c839c)<br/><br/>(https://drscdn.500px.org/photo/94555739/m%3D900/v2?user_id=15258111&amp;webp=true&amp;sig=999543713043dedf5464d9c6d50587974444e72d4da8b148e2d4af96ead97912) (https://drscdn.500px.org/photo/277274215/m%3D900/v2?user_id=15258111&amp;webp=true&amp;sig=d0f7d6dc5850f824cc8f4777a4aeb2463c6cad7ce506d7377171e86d550d4280)</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Visuals of warriors in various states of undress and profiles. Everyone knew Abyss had no shame on stripping down their characters. One of the reasons they didn't get any recent awards was pandering to that mentality. Mateo wasn't about to abandon that mentality just to appease the rest of the gaming world. On the contrary he wanted to be a recurring allure with the addition of elements that makes it plausible. But this was the moment to make or break the deal with them. Their opinion on the proposed concept arts.<br/><br/>"Our team think sex is a huge draw to games. But I'm not looking for a robotic Mass Effect strapped on sexual appeal, or some Dragon Age mechanic." If Anissa thought he was condescending at first, then this was full on thick and on the nose in comparison. "I told them if sex was part of this world, then it needs to be a constant part of it and not just a conclusion of a character arc or some flimsy reward for a quest." He knew that little bit was surprising, considering how adding a busty scantly clad women was their repertoire. But if they looked deep enough, they will know what he was truly after.<br/><br/>"This is how I ended up here. You can make this possible." He turned to face them and pointed his finger in their general direction, not towards any of the two specifically. "Sex shouldn't be a reward or a taboo. It needs to be a lifestyle." He set them free of his gaze and flipped through his tablet one more time to bring up one last visual to the screen.</div><br/><div align="center">(https://drscdn.500px.org/photo/134962021/m%3D900/v2?user_id=15258111&amp;webp=true&amp;sig=671da226942da566837ed98ac574d24c46df5758fcf20e501d0ccecc0f18b93d)</div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">He thought he said enough. Putting down his tablet, and pulling a chair to sit upon, leaving two empty chairs between him and Becky. He was giving them space, literally and figuratively as he finished his proposal. It was probably for the best as he couldn't stop imagining picturing his own characters based on the bodies of these two ladies. The idea wasn't simply entertaining. It hit hard into his own creative bone, and given the sheer contrast between the two when it comes to their personality, it made the allure that much more fitting to his own world. His eyes were dancing between them. Taking in the brunette, and the Blonde. The confident and the mousy. The outspoken, and the dirty silent. He reached with one hand to fiddle with the cuffs of his other hand. Quietly waiting.</div>
