<strong>Oerba, Eastern District Steel Brothel</strong><br/><br/>'Higher on the food chain?' She snorted.<br/><br/>The madame gave Seolhyun a disapproving look, shaking her head. It wasn't the plague that was the problem; she had been running the biggest brothel in the empire for years. The men here would fuck a pig if it was cheap enough. A whore like Seolhyun would have no problem with ten or fifteen guys in one night. Sure, she looked a little sickly, but with some food in her - maybe even twenty was possible. One glance could tell - the girl was Steel Flower material.<br/><br/>Taking action, the gargantuan woman grabbed Seolhyun by the arm and dragged her up onto a stage that overlooked the main floor of the brothel. She stripped away her cloak for the second time and ripped the laces off of her leather armor, setting the vampire's sizeable tits free and for everyone to see.<br/><br/>"Looky here boys," the Madame shouted, her gravelly voice easily grabbing their attention.<br/><br/>'Guaranteed plague-free or ya money back. Only 1 gold a go, blow anywhere no problems!'<br/><br/>She continued to shout, even as a number of men began to stand up and cheer. 'Two or three at a time, no problems!'<br/><br/>Even more men began to stand up and holler at the stage, hooting and shouting. Before Seolhyun could complain, the Madame shot her a glare that said: do you want to make money, or not?<br/><br/>If she didn't like her rates, then she was free to go and slave at the docks outside.<br/><br/>Before long, a nice long queue of men had formed in front of Seolhyun's room, waiting for a chance to fuck her.<br/><br/><strong>Central District</strong><br/><br/>'Anything?' The merchant cast Choa a long, wary glance.<br/><br/>Upon seeing her desperation, he nodded and motioned for her to follow. After closing up his stall, he led Choa through a passageway of twisting back alleys; they went up and down steps, around corner after corner, zigzagged through streets and backstreets until they finally arrived at the entrance to an underground cellar.<br/><br/>'Underground casino. Here.' The merchant pointed. His sentences were short and to the point.<br/><br/>'Inside, big man who took my money. You,' he pointed at Choa, 'win back money.'<br/><br/>He stared right at the blonde's face. From her expression, he could guess what she was going to say: she had no money to play.<br/><br/>'No money, no problem. Go inside. See.'<br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>You did say 'anything'.. Go inside the casino.</strong></li></ul><br/>Once inside, Choa discovered a huge sign that read: Coin or Cunt only. It didn't take a genius to understand what that meant. The casino was mainly full of guys; the few women inside were hired whores and not serious players. The sign, mostly meant as a joke, didn't seem to be indicative of the casino's actual operations - most didn't really honor the sign; except a few.<br/><br/>It just so happened that the man the merchant was targeting was one of these few. He quickly lead Choa over to a table where the lone man was sitting. He was large, at least twice Choa's size, and had completely dark skin; only his eyes, white with a tinge of ethereal purple stood out against his black skin.<br/><br/>'Coin, or cunt today?' the man growled at the merchant, his fangs showing under his grin.<br/><br/>The merchant only grunted in response, nodding at Choa.<br/><br/>'Game?'<br/><br/>'High Card.' The merchant responded confidently. It was a simple game, and less chances for his opponent to cheat.<br/><br/>'Contract?'<br/><br/>The merchant froze. That was something he hadn't done in awhile - mostly because he usually just dropped coin and left. But, it wasn't his ass on the line. He nodded. In moments, the large black man took out a scroll and wrote out the terms of the game, and payment, signing it with his pen. He handed it to the merchant, who in turn passed it straight to Choa.<br/><br/>'Sign,' he ordered. It wouldn't have any extra clauses besides what she could already guess from the whole ordeal.<br/><br/><strong>Oerba, Southern District Church</strong><br/><br/>When Jisoo awoke, the first thing she felt was a heaving pain in her torso; like the worst stomach cramps she had ever felt, multiplied by ten. The second thing she felt was a splitting headache and a ravenous hunger. The bread in front of her face didn't help matters much. She tried to see visions of the future, or of her allies, but what came to her could no longer be described as visions - only daydreams. Before, when she saw things, there was a feeling of certainty that came with each vision; like a warm gut feeling that let her know she was seeing a proper vision and not just imagining something.<br/><br/>Now - that feeling was gone. She could see Seolhyun earning a lot of money, and Choa too, but the certainty was gone. Maybe it was just due to her hunger. Jisoo screwed her eyes shut and tried one more time. She found herself in a dark place, with two glowing green eyes staring straight at her. Beneath that gaze was a monstrous, yet familiar demon cock.<br/><br/>'We meet again...' the prince growled.<br/><br/>Jisoo jolted awake, then swallowed. The warm feeling in her body was back.<br/><br/>~<br/><br/>The nun gave the duo one more sad look.<br/><br/>'I see...' she silently mourned the lives of all the fallen soldiers at the camp. There should still be supplies locked in the storehouse, but the two didn't seem eager to go back.<br/><br/>'In that case, I would trouble you two to travel West, a few hours ride out of the city.' She began a new request.<br/><br/>'There is a field next to a cliff there; there are some mushrooms that grow there that we can make into healing potions for the sick.'<br/><br/>She quickly drew another map. 'Please bring back some mushrooms.'<br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Travel to Cliffside Field.
