She pretended to be a famous singer. Why try and be someone that you're not, especially when we have no idea what is really happening here?"<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=261064.msg12888489#msg12888489">Quote from: Kathyan on 07-01-2017, 06:23:12</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><br/>"If I need to kiss someone you what?... Want to offer yourself... or perhaps you'd rather have you little friend here be the one having a taste of my sweet lips" Jessica playfully traced Vara's skin, her arm and then her neck ending in her ear which she put special attention as they really intrigued her, perhaps she was just teasing her, perhaps not and this was what she enjoyed the most, watching how Vara grew stiffer before stepping away leaving her only with the view of her exquisite ass slowly going away, fully exposed as the tiny line of cloth she was using as thong had already disappeared between her firm tight bum.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">After the kiss, she wanted to try to steel herself and keep a strong composure, but it wasn't completely working.  However, Charlotte didn't seem as angry or upset as Vara might have expected.  Maybe...embarrassed a little?  Maybe she had wanted it, and Vara just hadn't picked up on it?  So hard to say.<br/><br/>Jessica's words certainly didn't make it easy to concentrate, and the stiffness was noticeable even through the simple shorts she was wearing.  In all honesty, Vara rather did want to test out her new equipment, but finding the words was suddenly a little difficult.  Was it even possible to try to form relationships with people if this world wasn't real?  No doubt they wouldn't much like her if they ever saw what she really looked like.<br/><br/>Before Jessica could fully leave, though, Vara dashed forward a step to lay a smack across Jessica's tush.  Why?  Hard to say, but at that instant, it seemed like a good idea.  Maybe she just wanted to get the last word in.  Maybe she just didn't want the sassy wench thinking she was invincible.<br/><br/>Once Vara noticed that Charlotte had gone pretty quiet, she reached forward, laying a hand upon her arm.  "Hey, are you okay?" she asked, remembering how Charlotte hadn't been taking everything well.  Funny how something as simple as actually being dressed and knowing others didn't think you were an outright freak allowed her to start thinking straight, though - in fairness - she'd had a little more time to adjust after being sliced up by the sawgrass.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Charlotte's eyes widened as Vara enticed Jessica and then engaged in some sort of foreplay with her. Putting on her social worker hat, Charlotte decided that Jessica sought outside attention because she was insecure. She could not understand how Vara took to her new body so quickly or why she would instigate more play. Unlike Jessica, Vara had been courteous, considerate and friendly. Now, she was asking how Charlotte felt. Charlotte blanked her face, moved just outside of Vara's hand reach and in a simple but professional tone said, "I'm fine," words which any woman would likely understand meant that she was anything but fine.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"I will do the best I can." Ute explained, "As I understand it, Ackaedes brings people from various different places with unique skills to come and protect our city of Newgate. You are our Champions. We are ordered to treat you with all the respect that such heroes deserve. Nobody here will hurt you. Why would we hurt our protectors? All Champions arrive naked. The priests say that this is because when you are reborn to serve Ackaedes and do Ackaedes work, you must come into this world free of sin. I am afraid that I do not understand it better than that. I am a simple farmer's wife." She shrugged. "I have heard others ask for this thing called a phone before. One even tried to explain it to me but I do not understand how someone could two people can speak to each other without seeing each other and without being near each other."</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=261064.msg12888522#msg12888522">Quote from: Silver Phoenix on 07-01-2017, 06:47:51</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Sam was grateful to be inside, and also for the clothing - minimal though it was - but at least was hoping it would allay any bad tempers.  With everyone huddled around, he took the time to listen to what Ute had to say.  He still wasn't really buying the whole 'being brought over' mainly because life had jaded him to good fortune when he got it - and the chance to live what he only played with nerdy players cracking crude jokes every now and again to ground them in reality, was about the biggest good fortune he could think of.  And so it couldn't possibly happen.  Any minute now, he expected to wake up, or the whole thing to turn to nightmare.  Even if not, there was probably going to be some really big strings attached.<br/><br/>"To be honest, I'd like to argue with what you said, mainly because I'm expecting to wake from a dream at some moment," he admitted to Ute, "but let's say I play along... what exactly are we to be champions of?  What are we expected to do?"</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"This is no dream," Ute assured Sam. "You are to be our defenders. Newgate often comes under attack from monsters. Worse, if we do not find a way to push back, we will have no trade route with the capital. We will slowly suffocate and die out."<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"Well guess there is nothing to do but to wait then" indeed things seemed like they would get very interesting here, not only they were going to be treated like some sort of heroes in this renaissance fair thing but they would get a feast plus there were any pigs here stopping her from killing anyone, not that she had a reason but that was always good to know. <br/>"Pokeroot? So we are pokemon now?", well whatever heal the wounds of the people here. Jessica then walked into the main room and sat next to the chimney raising her long luscious naked legs and letting them rest over the table. "Anyway guess we should go ahead and introduce us all right?, name's Jessica here, Jessica Rodriguez, or just Jess, whatever. And you guys are...?"<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Charlotte defiantly looked into Jessica's eyes for a quick second but started to feel herself becoming a bit warm and glanced firmly back at the ground as she said, "I know that I have told a few of you my name. But, so the rest of you know, I am Charlotte Amelia Baker. I'm a social worker from Belleville, Michigan."<br/><br/>Ute did not respond to Jessica's comment of being Pokemon, whether it was because she did not understand it or refused to be baited was unknown. Ute took some red sediment from her pouch and then placed it in a bowl and mixed it with some water. She placed it on a bandage, making a poultice and then instructed Vara, "Leave that on for about 15 minutes. It should likely cure most, if not all of your wounds."<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Vara recovers 4 hit points, if she follows the instructions </div></div><br/>Charlotte watched the process intently and asked, "Do you think I could try that?"<br/><br/>Ute nodded, "Certainly. It isn't a difficult skill to learn but it is handy. I am surprised more Champions have not asked to learn it in the past." She supervised Charlotte as Charlotte repeated the procedure and applied the poultice to Timothy.<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Timothy recovers 2 hit points, if he follows the instructions </div></div><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Turning a weary head to these people who were suppose to be... his companions?  Comrades?  Brothers- and Sisters-in-arms?  The spirited woman, who was now identifying herself as Jessica Rodriguez, was suggesting introduction, which he supposed was fair enough, though he suspected the names might no long quite match the faces.<br/><br/>The Vara woman said that she was 'given' the name, but, concentrate as he might, nothing really came to mind.<br/><br/>"Well, I suppose so," he conceded.  "The name's Sam.  Sam Kronenberg.  Guess it doesn't quite fit the look I have going now anymore... say, Ute, you wouldn't have to have hair dye, would you?  Or even something to bleach the hair?  I'm kind of missing my blonde curls right now."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Ute shook her head in the negative. "We are not wealthy people."<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"As far as names," she added to Jessica, "you can call me Vara.  Not my real name, but I don't really know Kung Fu, so it seems appropriate to have a cool fantasy name."  She also added to Courtney, "Did you actually want to be called Taylor, or...?"<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Immediately, Charlotte had a horrifying thought,<em>What do I even look like? Nobody said anything to me.</em>Nervously, she asked, "Ute, do you have a mirror?"<br/><br/>Again, Ute shook her head in the negative. "You should have one in the city center."
