				<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/OfDbPV3.png)</div> <strong>Scarlett Khan</strong><br><br>Scarlett was standing on the high deck, the captain's deck she liked to think of it as though truth be told it was where most of the crew hung out. It was a large, open area with a crank-operated covering that could be pulled down in times of inclement weather. Today though the sun was shining through some puffy white clouds (which the <em>Fearless</em> was fairly close to), bright colorful birds flew happily around the ship, and the magnificent sky boat leisurely flew along at 20 knots or so. It was a fraction of the speed the boat was capable of, but they weren't in any hurry. <br><br>Scarlett was wearing her trademark midriff bearing turquoise gown, split high and cut to flatter her light curves. The gold jewelry practically dripped from her belly and her neck and her face, glimmering in the sunlight prettily. <br><br>She stretched, standing on her tip toes and took a deep sip of her morning tea. Ah, this was the sort of morning that reminded her why she'd built this vessel.<br><br>She walked to one of the many large deck tables and collapsed back in one of her favorite comfy chairs, in a manner much less graceful than her outfit would suggest appropriate. But it was her boat (not really, but don't tell her that!) and she could flash who she liked.<br><br>She took another sip of tea and set her mug on the table, picking up one of her star charts she began making marks on a blank sheet of paper, charting out a course in an obscure manner that most others would have a devil of a time deciphering.

The pale Doctor commanded, as she measured the young woman's bust and gluteal circumference with excruciating, one might even say<em> clinging </em>precision. "IF they've words for ye, tell 'em 'twas Ay as delayed ye." Black-painted lips twitched into a rictus of a smile. "An' that they can 'ave words wi' ME instead."&nbsp; Fat chance of that ever happening. Most ship crews were afraid of their Surgeons- butchers, they called them, and worse. Dulaney <em>terrified</em> her crew, for all she was a right dab hand with a quick remedy, they all had to admit, whether it be for a fingertip pinched off in the wheels or a dose of the Pox. Oh, they'd come to her right quick when they were in need, but otherwise they tried to avoid her dark, unblinking stare and her sharp tongue.<br><br>Probably came of her being dead, and all. Sailors are a superstitious lot.<br><br>"Now, just a wee sample, an' Ay'm done wi' ye."<br><br>"Missss!" The girl wailed. "I'm deathly afraid of needles, so help me!&nbsp; I'll faint dead away!"<br><br>"Ay said naught about needles, silly girl," Mags whispered into the Apprentice's hair, before bending to lick her neck...<br><br><br><br>Once the light-headed and blushing crew-woman was sent on her way, with a swat on her sweet little <em>derriere</em> for a Godspeed, Marga set her eyes and her path on going topside.&nbsp; The Owner would be up and about, and liked company of a morning. Bloody inconvenient, but only her right; if Mags stayed in the shadow of the gasbag, she'd be all right for a while.<br><br>A moment's thought sent her backtracking to her laboratory and rooms, whence she acquired a set of goggles &nbsp;(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41exikjkE2L.jpg) and fitted them over her eyes. She'd risk the sunburn for her employer, but she'd be damned if she'd spend the rest of the day with a headache from glare and eyestrain. Then she slithered up the gangways with a speed and agility even someone several hundred years younger couldn't manage, finally emerging on the uppermost deck. Aye, Scarlett was there, Lording- Ladying?- it over her property like a great Goddess statue.<br><br>Plotting her path to stay in the deepest shade, she made her way to the foot of the ladder leading to the High deck, dropped a passable if cursory curtsy, and shouted up, "Mornin' to ye, Shipmaster."

				<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/thumb/9/93/Sebastian_Bryce.jpg/395px-Sebastian_Bryce.jpg)</div><strong>Engine-Master Anderson</strong><br><br>Bryce took one look at the girl (http://alia.w.interiowo.pl/ginnyportret.jpg), and more or less instantly knew why she was late for her shift. It was all in the way that she carried herself, the faint hint of embarrassment mixed in with a bit of fear as she explained that she'd been held up by the Surgeon before he'd even asked her to account for herself. Gilly was one of the promising of the apprentices working under him, studying the Engine-Master's art under one of it's masters in perhaps the finest classroom ever created,-- the beating heart of the <em>Fearless</em>,-- a work of sorcerous engineering which Bryce himself could only scarcely be said to understand.<br><br>"Well, never mind that. Fall in with the others. Your just in time; we're changing out one of the spent electro-cores today and I want you on assist... assuming your not too light headed."<br><br>She blushed a bit, shaking her head, "No, Sir. I should be fine."<br><br>"Good," he said. "Next time don't hold off visits to the Ship's Doctor until the last minute."<br><br>She looked like she was going to protest, to say something, probably protest that the Ship's Doctor was a vampire. Which, in this singular case, wasn't a metaphor or a euphemism but a literal fact. A literal fact that had precious little sway with Bryce and which certainly didn't detract from her skills. The girl wisely though better of it, instead simply nodding and getting into position while Bryce paced about and said a few words to prepare those who had never done this sort of work before for what they were in for. He trusted the older, wiser hands to know what to do, though, this after all being rather routine.<br><br>"Begin!"<br><br>~<br><br>As Bryce rocketed up one of the <em>Fearless</em>' central lifts toward the Upper Deck, he couldn't help but glance down unhappily at his stopwatch. The second hand stopped at 47 seconds, the time that it'd taken to complete the drill, a time that would probably be unacceptable on any ship other than the Fearless. Not that the Captain was lax or the standards off, of course, but simply because everything was so much more bloody complicated on this ship and Bryce only barely understood <strong>why</strong>.<br><br>As he headed off the lift, moving down one of the hallways and nearing the open deck,-- and, in particular, the area where he expected to run into the Captain,-- he knew that he'd <em>learn</em> why... in time..<br><br>He'd also get that damnable time down, and hopefully not flirt quite so closely with a Cascade as they had this time.<br><br>At least only one of the Apprentices had fainted.<br><br>Hopefully the Captain wouldn't berate him about the flickering of the lights; it wasn't like anyone else could do better.<br><br>"I thought I'd find you here,--" he said, only to find himself distracted by the black-clad Ship's Doctor as he stepped onto what the Sultana at least insisted was called the 'Captain's Deck'. He simply inclined his head to the less-expected guest and moved to find himself a seat. "--Captain. Always a pleasure to see you, as well, Doctor. What are you ladies up to at this early hour?"

Ever since she escaped from the military facilities, she had been doing exactly what she wanted to do. And that was to travel around the world, see new places and just have fun. In the beginning it wasn’t that easy for her. After all everything cost money. Still with her special skill set she easily found some jobs to do. When she made enough and came across the chance to get on board the <em>Fearless</em> Miyako didn’t hesitate. Buying her ticket, she entered the skyship and since then had been enjoying a pretty carefree life-style. <br><br>As usual at this time she had been lying in the sun on one of the yards of the main mast to take her nap. However this time her naptime was disturbed by people talking nearby. Her ears perked up a little as she tried to locate where all the noise was. Looking down, she saw people started to gather around the person she knew was the owner and boss of the ship. Gliding down a rope, she dropped down on the deck and landed right next to the table of the Sultana.<br><br>“Morning all. I would say good but well I did got woken up in the middle of my nap.” She greeted with a playful grin, making it clear she wasn’t mad at all, before looking at the tea set. “Is this tea exclusively for the Captain or can we guests also have a cup?” <br>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/OfDbPV3.png)</div> <strong>Scarlett Khan</strong><br><br>"For the last time it is <em>Sultana!</em>" Scarlett yelled down the stairs to Morag, a bit huffy. She then realized who she was yelling at. "Oh gimme a sec." She leaned over from her chair and grabbed at a lever on the wall. It was damnably out of reach. "Who put these chairs so far away from the levers." She muttered, as she stood up and over to it, yanking it down resentfully.<br><br>As she did the gears whirred into motion and the retractable ceiling lowered. It was meant to be a defensive shield against the elements and the occasional shelling but it also served as an effective vampire cozy. <br><br>"Come up now" She called down. "The dangerous sun is gone!"<br><br>She smiled as Anderson took a seat near her. "Well hello to you too handsome." She said giving him a predatory smile. "You know." She said, "You don't have to call me Captain. Sultana is fine." She said as if the second thing was somehow less formal than the first thing. "Or you know, something nicer." She grinned at him.<br><br>Just then a kitten ninja managed to swing in under the dome just as it was closing! Ah, one of the many reasons Scarlett loved this ship. You didn't get kitty ninjas dropping in back in Agraba. Well okay sometimes you did. But they weren't this cute!<br><br>"You may have tea if you bring me another cup." She said magnanimously. "And if you sit in my lap when you come back." She grinned. It was clearly not an order or a demand, just an invitation.

Still, Mags grinned coolly as she tramped up the final gangway. She was used to the Owner's temper, found it amusing at times. After three centuries, nearly everything humans said and did was amusing."Gears," she added, with a nod for the Chief as she passed him. There was no bad blood between them- no blood at all, more's the pity- but since they came from entirely opposite sides of the Sciences-he from steam and coils and gears, she from humours and the bodily mysteries- they were honour-bound to at least maintain a front of distance between them. Not that it kept him from staring at her <em>decolletage </em>when he thought she wasn't looking...<br><br>The little catgirl appeared in front of her so suddenly, dropping form above, .Morag almost tripped over her. "And a good mornin' to ye as well, young Miss." Adorable little thing, but with the damnable habit of popping up anywhere and unexpected.<br><br>"So," she said, once she'd reached Scarlett's side. "Are we on course, then? Or've you even any idea where we're off to?"

				<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/thumb/9/93/Sebastian_Bryce.jpg/395px-Sebastian_Bryce.jpg)</div><strong>Bryce</strong><br><br>It wasn't that Bryce particularly cared rather or not he called Scarlett 'Sultana' or not, for in truth it made little difference to him. In point of fact, during his very infrequent meetings with Her Majesty, he'd always address her by that title but for whatever reason the Captain didn't quite command the same level of deference for him. Partly it was because he, honestly, hadn't even the faintest idea where this 'Agroba' place was and wasn't entirely convinced that she hadn't made it up on the spot. Mostly, though, he just would rather not have that level of formality between them.<br><br>"If you insist," he says. "...though if you start calling me 'The Lord Hallworth,' I'm going to have to quit my employment."<br><br>It was said with good humor, though, Bryce having absolutely no intention of doing such. Probably.<br><br>...'Gears', by contrast, was the kind of title that didn't exactly annoy him so much as it twerked him a bit. He knew the Doctor had to know that, since he all but flinched whenever she called him that, but he hadn't ever actually formally protested to it. He didn't want to give her the satisfaction. Nor did he otherwise respond to her, simply glancing up at the retractable ceiling as it deployed. The little toys that the Sultana had installed in the <em>Fearless</em> never ceased to interest him. Even the relatively mundane ones such as this.<br><br>The nimble little cat-girl, on the contrast, didn't so much as raise an eyebrow of the young Engine-Master.<br><br>"Nimble little thing, isn't she?" he commented, lightly, not even taking his eyes off the mechanisms that deployed the ceilings as everything locked into place. "...Hmmmh.. You really have to let me take this apart and tinker with it at some point. I could probably increase the deployment speed with only modest redesigns. I doubt it'd reduce the reliability of the system much at all."

"Nyahahaha! A ninja is always well prepared." She then said while reaching in the pouch behind her. Seconds later she pulled out a black earthenware teacup with on it a cherry blossom pattern. "Now if you excuse me." While holder her cup up proudly, she sat down in the Sultana's lap without hesitation. After all when the boss of the boat made such a suggestion, you didn't ignore it. <br><br>While she reached forward to pour her tea, Miyako looked at Morag and Bryce. "Though I know it's none of my business, what brings you two up here?" Her ears twisted while she looked from the Doc to the engineer. "I mean don't get me wrong, I don't mind it, even though you woke me up out of my nap. I'm just curious cause normally you Gears would be tinkering away somewhere down below. And Doc is mostly busy with giving some of the crew or other guests a <em>thorough examination</em>" She grinned with the last part.

"No, I rather think not. I let her get away with it, but 'Gears' is not an acceptable form of address for myself,-- I'll accept Engine-Master, Doctor Anderson, even-- if you insist on <em>formality</em>,-- the Lord Hallworth, or if your feeling even more formal than that, the August and Honorable Lord Hallworth- but not <strong>Gears</strong>. I hope I'm understood, young lady."<br><br>Of course, the question was less if he'd be understood and more if he'd be heeded.<br><br>"You may even call me Sebastian, though I prefer Bryce. I'll even suffer <em>'Seb'</em>, which I am also not very fond of, but please refrain from the urge to call me 'Gears'."

"A Republican, right, I remember the Athenians discussing such an idea." Scarlett liked to imply that she had been alive for ages as she was a dragon after all. She shook her head. "Such nonsense. People need a wise Sultana, not the one who drinks the most at the local pubs." And thus she summarized her idea of democracy. <br><br>"And don't worry your gorgeous self, we're right on course for our next assignment." She said with the assured casual air of superiority that Morag would have come to recognize as a sign that they were drifting aimlessly and had no assignment whatsoever. <br><br>She glanced up at the retractable ceiling as Gears mentioned improving it. "Of course, you know you can always improve my lovely ship. But do take care you don't do it while my lovely Morag is about." She squeezed the vampire's hand. "We wouldn't want her getting sunburned." She smiled up at the pale woman.<br><br>When Miyako slid into her lap she grinned quite happily, her free hand stroking the cat-woman's hair behind the ears lovingly. "See this one knows her place." She smiled, her hand sliding down that long hair to her waist, squeezing it a little. She gazed at her adoringly for a moment, looking like she might just kiss her for being so wonderful, but decided not to.<br><br>"Oh Gears do stop upsetting everyone." She said with a smirk. "Sit down and have some tea." <br><br>

"A'least if someone buys ye yer drinks, you've 'ad sommat from 'em in exchange for yer vote. Your way, 'tis just the lad as cuts off the most head as has the power." It was an old argument, and Mags was deadly- dead, even- serious, but she still grinned at the lovely ship owner. On a vessel such as theirs, <em>someone</em> had to be in charge, and Dulaney had no argument with letting it be the woman who footed most of the bills.&nbsp; Ranks and titles, though, meant less than dung to her, for all that she'd collected a few dozen or so throughout her long life.<br><br>With precise motions, she 'borrowed' the Sultana's tea cup and took a sip before returning it to her. ""tis not so much the sunburn Ay mind, rs should worry ye, as my thirst after. Ay'd na' want ta leave Gears wi'out a staff entire." She gave the Chief a sly wink before looking down on the comfortably-nestled catgirl in Scarlett's lap. "And 'tis my duty, young Miss, to report to me employer as to the state of the crew. Which is well-fed, healthy,&nbsp; an' tasty, by the bye, Scarlett," she added as an afterthought.&nbsp; " Most especially the Engine crew. Though I suspect a few may be gettin' a bit bored wi' our driftin' about."

				<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/1a/D%27nyse.jpg)</div> <strong>Dyn Agornia</strong><br><br>They'd awakened LATE, well late for them anyway. Usually, they were up long before the Sultana and the rest of the day sorters began their daily grind but last night they'd had to expend some energy (and fluids) in an attempt to keep a delicious set of fraternal twins, entertained. It had been exceedingly exotic and required no less than four different body shifts but in the end? The twins had drifted into dreamland, gorgeous faces still flushed with exertion. Hard work being <em>THIS</em> ship's steward/ess. They were just thankful that the Sultana had allowed them to come along. Pay wasn't the best BUT the benefits were A-MA-ZING! <br><br>Anywho~ <br><br>"Has the Sultana arisen?"<br><br>Room speaker crackled into life with a tinny sort of squawk. <span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">"Yes. On Captain's Deck. Impromptu morning meeting. The Doctor, The Engineer. That kitty ninja. And tea."</span><br><br>Dyn gave a brisk nod that her under steward, Benjamin (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/e3/b6/42/e3b642bb7a98e111728fa472f507b8a9.jpg) could <strong>not</strong> see and thanked him for his prompt answer before voicing yet another query.<br><br>"Breakfast being started, dining accomodations up to par?"<br><br><span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">"Sure thing, Dyn. Guests and crew are moving toward main dining area, even now."</span><br><br>"Good. Over and out."<br><br>Now, time to get dressed and face the day. A quick steamy shower, an application of blue black mascara and lipstick, the smoothing on of their uniform and the finding the perfect tilt to their hat took no more than 10 minutes. By the time they'd found their way to the aforementioned deck? No more than twenty five minutes had passed since the very beginnings of it all. They strode quickly toward the odd grouping and paused, for just a moment, to make their own cuppa.<br><br>"Good morrow. Everything is on time...breakfast being served, right now. How goes the day thus far, Chief Engineer? Also, Doc? You gonna have time for my physical later?" A slight pause as they shifted their attention toward the Sultana. "Have I missed anything of import, Sultana? Do you require me to do anything else?" After another few seconds, they turned to grin and offer a polite bow to the pretty ninja, oh she of the fluffy ears. "I hope the day finds you well..."<br><br>Finally, the others' words filtered in and they gave a brief chuckle before staking a sip of their tea. They always walked in on the ODDEST conversations! <em>'Gears? What kind of nickna--ohhhh I get it!'</em><br><br>

"Okay the August and Honorable Lord Gears it will be!" She grinned with an evil twinkle in her eyes. "And you can't complain about it. I, an honorable guest of the Sultana said it. And you know, the guest is always right. Besides it sounds cute. You can't deny that." <br><br>At the same time, she still had to blink a few times when the Doc spoke out. Her accent and usage of words really was throwing her off from time to time. So she nodded a few times. "Okay but no need to keep calling me miss. It's Miyako. We'll be spending enough time together on this trip so no need to keep being all formal with me." A warm smile was given to Morag.<br><br>That smile soon turned into soft purring sound when the Sultana started to pet her. She couldn't help her self. She still was part cat. And when someone petted her, especially behind the ears, she involuntary let out soft purring noises. Her eyes closed for a moment while she enjoyed the caressing before she suddenly felt the hands move to her stomach. In a reflex her eyes opened back to notice how close the Sultana was coming to her. Immediately she felt her cheeks heat up as a slight blush was creeping up on her. <br><br>Luckily before anything else happened, they were interrupted by the sudden appearance of Dyn. A figure on this boat that clearly had peaked her interest. After all as a ninja, being stealthy and working on disguises had been something instilled in her. Yet Dyn was someone she found out that could change their looks in a blink of an eye. That was something she wanted to learn more about. "Morning Dyn. As you can see, I'm having a great morning with the best seat of the house." She grinned.<br>

He was an Oxford Graduated Doctor of Clockwork and Steam, an Engine Master,--<br><br>--at least Dyn addressed him vaguely properly.<br><br>They, at least, showed some proper respect.<br><br>"If you promise to never again use those honorifics again, I'll let you call me Gears, if you <em>insist</em>," he says, eyes glancing down at the cat. <span style="font-size: 6pt;" class="bbc_size">"...though why you want to escapes me.

He knew, he just KNEW, that he should have protested that particular nickname a little bit more vehemently. He didn't expect <em>everyone</em> would start using it, though,-- it's enough to earn the Vampire a bit of a glare,-- he doubts that she even looks particularly apologetic to his plight.<br><br>"...as for what I'm doing here, rather than in the Engine Room, I will simply note that an Apprentice will be sent to fetch me if my presence is needed. The Journeymen's attention is more than sufficient to tend to the routine matters of keeping the ship from plummeting from the sky in a fiery apocalypse that the primitive locals would no doubt mistake for a shooting star," Bryce says, a bit of mischeif and amusement echoing beyond those soft green eyes as he paints a picture of the deaths of most everyone on the ship. Excepting, likely, only Scarlett and Morag. "I am an Engine-<em>Master</em>, and one of the perks of that is that I have free time to take as I wish. <em>Such as in the company of you fine ladies.</em> Plus, as our Steward noted, we'll be having breakfast soon."

As they took a step back, they found the Doctor's cool fingers upon their throat, checking for a pulse that they knew was strong and steady. The physical exam was just a formality, really. A way to be sure of one's health.<br><br>They nodded as Morag made her announcement and then turned their attention to the conversation that ebbed and flowed from the others, a slight smile curving full lips upward. It was always pleasant as they got underway, especially when the Sultana was in fine form, like this morning. Most everyone (except for the Doc) took their cues from her, following her whims with plenty of smiles. It was another reason that Dyn was pleased to have <strong>this</strong> position.<br><br><br>Just as the Scarlett made her pronouncement concerning the small group's breakfast plans, the very first food laden trolley appeared. Dyn stepped aside and motioned the cute little food service wenches toward the table, directing with eyes and hands as to the placement of heaping bowls and platters as well as the places for each person's own plates, bowls and cutlery. Once everything was in order, she waved the girls off with a simple, "I will do the serving. Go and help in the main dining room." Two adorable curtsies later, the small group was, once again, left to their own devices.<br><br>"Breakfast is served. Come and eat."<br><br>Suiting actions to words, the Steward did just as they had suggested and settled their lithe form at the table, slim fingers moving toward the thin, delicate crepes and fresh fruit compotes. They were hungry!!

Sitting so close she could see it all so clearly. So when they moved back, she probably was sitting there with wide eyes and a slight pink blush on her cheeks. Because of it, she clearly had forgotten about the rest of the world until she heard Morag's voice call out. Blinking a few times, she couldn't help but giggle at the Doc's behavior. <br><br>Afterwards she was a bit concerned about what she should do, now that the food was served. Should she still keep sitting here in the Sultana's lap or should she get a chair of her own. Since nothing was said, she decided it should be okay to keep sitting here. If not, she still could go and sit on a chair. So a bit carefree she took a plate and put a crepe with strawberry jelly on it. After taking a bite, she offered the Sultana a bite from it. <br><br>

Bryce said, it not being entirely clear just who he was talking about. There was a certain cavalier attitude of 'oh what the hell' as the Chief sat himself down, ever so carefully, on the Doctor's lap and tried to make sure he was settled into as comfortable a position as possible. A slight flush of pink coming to his cheeks. "..off yer rocker... Ah, you'd best not think I'm doing this just because you're ordering it, 'Sultana'. That's not the way this works!

Between the adorable kitty ninja and the Doctor/Engineer side conversations, Dyn wasn't sure that they'd be able to swallow the food properly. Somehow, they managed but it was a very close call and then, Scarlett made a random announcement about her harem. The Steward DID choke on the orange juice they had just taken a sip of, the startled laughter bubbling out like so many drowning birds.<br><br>"Really Sultana! Methinks that with an entire ship filled with guests and crew, you'd at least pick someone for your harem besides me!" A brisk wave down at themselves, encompassing the whole of the uniform. "Truly, how can you even tell I have a shape under this?" Another husky chuckle which ended a tad abruptly. After all, the woman had just sprouted two additional arms. <br><br>Dyn glanced at the Doc with wide, dark eyes after removing their hat. "is she allowed to do that? Is that even nor--" The pause happened, not because they were embarrassed about asking the question but seriously, how could a shapeshifter even dare to make that particular query sound reasonable!? "Ach. Never mind. Case of kettle calling the pot~ black." Wicked grin before body shifted just the tiniest bit, breasts growing rounder and just a bit larger, straining the buttons of their jacket. Finally, they glanced back at the Sultana.<br><br>"I guess if I am going to be part of a harem, I should at least look the part!!" Finally, a smile for the man who trained all of the almost engineers before rising from the table and unbuttoning the first few hook and eye fasteners on the uniform jacket, baring the rounded tops of their breasts. A serious gaze met his eyes and a husky voice asked; "Tell me, truly, Sirrah. Does this jacket make my boobs look big?"<br><br>More laughter as they settled themselves next to the Sultana before bestowing a grin at the adorable guest who had been lassoed into the morning's ridiculousness, Flash of white teeth against shiny blue black lipstick. "Don't worry. You are in the safest seat known to man...or kitty ninjas!" <br>

The kiss of Dyn and the Sultana were only the beginning. She saw Morag and Bryce follow the orders of the Sultana and sat down on the same chair. However soon they were like flirting openly. Then Dyn started to take off her jacket right in front of her, showing off her cleavage. <br><br>And if all of that wasn't enough to keep her cheeks flushed, suddenly she heard Scarlet claim out loud that she never had such a lovely harem. Feeling the arm on her thigh, the inkling came to her that she was included in the harem part. Not sure how to react to that, she didn't even notice the extra set of arms growing out of the Sultana. It wasn't until she heard Dyn's voice, she returned back to reality. Letting out a soft giggle, she nodded and continued eating her food. <br>"Well I do have to wonder, do all the passengers get this kind of...euhm how to say it...favorable treatment? Or am I one of the lucky chosen ones?" Miyako asked to no one in particular.

Really, were there any dragon's anymore? He didn't think so!

Chuckling a bit at the protest, before giving the Steward a wry little grin as it suddenly stopped, rolling his eyes a bit as he had first first bit of breakfast. It was quite good, as he'd expected,-- the question, directed at him, earned a faint appraising glance,- he'd never been shy about.. well, most things. At least, until people actually tried to push him to <em>do anything</em>. Then, sometimes, he could be rather shy.<br><br>"Hmmmm. No, I rather think it's your breasts that make your 'boobs' look big, my dear," he says, an amused casual manner to him as he says it. "Which, given you are a shapeshifter, I'm sure you know."<br><br>Then, pondering the issue, he bites his lip and considers the matter for a moment. HAS he ever seen the steward with a more modest figure? Well, other than... hmmm.<br><br>"...is that not something you can change, dear steward?

Solid food did nothing for her, hadn't for many a year, now; too much of it would actually make her ill. But she still enjoyed the taste, especially of fresh fruit. She ate them as she would have her regular fodder, sinking her fangs into the flesh of the fruit and sucking the juice out, before chewing the pulp and licking her fingers clean. She made sure to do it very close to the Engineer's ear, as well, so he couldn't miss any of the interesting slurping and smacking sounds.<br><br>"And since you've a hand free," she went on to Dyn, giving them a slightly red-lipped grin, "could you ever pour us a drop of coffee? Tea's well enough for th'afternoon, but first thing in the mornin', 'tis coffee does the trick." A spurious argument, since for her typical nights and days were reversed, and caffeine had no effect on her any longer, no matter the source; but she was a creature of habit. As would anyone be, after so long.

"ooooh yes. yes is the answer."<br><br>She glanced over to Morag. "Of course balance is important..." She repeated the gesture on her opposite side, hand winding around the far side of the vampress pulling her closer and groping her at the same time.

"Oh my beautiful kitten," She said, her third arm stroking her cheek tenderly as she gazed up at her. "Only the pretty ones." That same hand then rather casually moved down and cupped Miyako's breast fully, weighing and judging it the same as she was Dyn and Morag. "Such a good kitty." She said kindly. "Now, be a dear and feed me some of that fruit my hands are full. And then help me figure out if Dyn's breasts feel big!" <br><br>Her fourth hand made a grab for Bryce's boobs. Only to be stymied by the fact that they didn't exist! Her hand slapped at his chest like a fish flopping about on land trying to find something nice and round to make a grab for but no, nothing! Futility! She slowly turned to glare at his chest, obviously finding it's lack of boobs upsetting. <br><br>"Hmmmm." She said staring at it, pursing her lips, obviously considering this to be a problem and pondering the solution.

"Ay'd meant fer Dyn to do it, but since yer bein' so obligin', thanks indeed, Chief. Just a spot of honey, if ye would. Too much make me fangs itch."<br><br><br>She looked down at the hand that had squeezed itself between her and the Engineer, coming to rest on her bosom. "Bit handsy today, are we, Scarlett? Well, 'ave at it, then." She reached up and unfastened the front of her bodice, giving the Sultana better access to her cool, pale flesh. "But mind you don't muck about <em>too</em> much, ey? 'Tis all I can do ta keep from sippin' from Gears as ittiz. Get me wairked up, he'll be spendin' the rest of shift in Sickbay."

The next action of Scarlett, the cupping of her breast, probably made steam come out of the top of her head. A little squeaking sound even escaped her lips. For a few moments the entire world around her seemed to stop and all she could see was the hand groping her breast. <br><br>It wasn't after a little while, that she realized there were other people sitting around her. Not to mention that the Sultana had spoken to her but she had missed this. She really had been completely taken by surprise and had her mind go blank. Blinking her eyes a few times, she looked back at the Sultana.<br>"Huh, sorry, what did you say?" Her voice sounded really squeaky and her cheeks kept being flushed*<br>

"Yes." She said sternly. "Five demerits." The Sultana's demerit system was perplexing if you tried to figure it out. Once you realized that she just randomly gave people demerits and didn't actually keep track of it it was much easier to deal with. <br><br>She withdrew her hand, shaking her head, and it joined her other hand on Miyako. Ah, here were boobs. Adorable kitten boobs. Were those the best kind? The Sultana decided her life work might be resolving this important question. So pettable.<br><br>She smiled happily at Morag as she unlaced her top and gave her better access to those glorious pale sweater cows. Mmmm. Cold vampire boobs. Were those the best kind? The Sultana decided her life work might be resolving this important question. So firm.<br><br>Her attention was drawn back to the kitten in her lap, who was blushing so adorably she might melt the ship's engine. "I said, you need to assist me in my life's work, young Miyako. I need a report on Dyn's boobs on my desk by three bells tomorrow!" Scarlett didn't actually know what that meant, she just liked tossing out nautical terms, or things that she figured sounded like nautical terms. "Also I need breakfast, feed me, my hands are full." A soft squeeze of all four boobs her hands were currently around confirmed this.

Small slender digits grasped and kneaded first one and then another as if those soft bits of flesh were her own personal play toys and no one said a word! Well, except for the Engineer. However, they were sure that he'd only spoken up because he was unsure of what in the blazes was going happening. <em>'How is one man so book smart and yet so naive?'</em><br><br>Regardless, they ignored the on going contretemps (and the wandering hands) with a will. After all, there were other passengers and they had other duties which would require their utmost concern, just as soon as they'd finished feeding themselves up. Even before they'd finished, they had shifted into another form (https://img02.deviantart.net/f0cb/i/2008/062/1/c/troll_rogue_by_fire_dragana.jpg), one much more useful for the work they were about to undertake. <br><br>"Much better. Okay Sultana, ladies, gentleman. I have to run. I have laundry duty this morning and those linens won't get finished without a little bit of...bribery." Here the troll like figure winked before rising to his full eight feet in height. "Those laundry girls are a bit rough." Voice held an unmistakable note of lust in those deep gravelly tones. "I shall see you all at lunch."<br><br>Another smile, tusks gleaming brightly, and then he took his heavily muscled form, elsewhere.

Finally, once he's sure he's prepared it well enough, he simply smiles and gives out a happy little sigh. "There we are, I hope this is acceptable, my dear," he says, turning to give her the coffee, before returning to making his own food.<br><br>...he notices, vaguely, the slight-- 'discomfort' of the kitty on the Sultana's lap, briefly, feeling a bit sad for the poor thing,-- if she gets that turned around just by a bit of groping then she'll probably end up in such a state that she'll end up missing more or less the entire trip.<br><br>Where was she going anyway? Oh well, that wasn't his concern in any event, and it's not like they are actually <em>going anywhere in particular</em> given the Sultana's navigation.<br><br>Really, he's always felt a bit bad for the passengers, but not too much. They have fun on their roundabout way to wherever it is that they're going.<br><br>He was somewhat sad to see Dyn leaving, but oh well, that happens. Had he always been a blue-skinned tusked humanoid? Oh, probably, really-- he couldn't quite keep his eyes from glancing up at the structs that held the roof in place. He'd probably need to work some kind of servo-mechanism into the actual struts but there was no way to tell exactly what would be involved without taking the thing apart. Oh well. He has to concur, in any event, that the laundry staff ARE rather much of a handful. Even so, he's juuust about managed his own breakfast when he finds himself stiffening just a bit at the laugh of the Vampiress in his ear. A tiny shiver running down his spine. Damnit, did she have to <em>do</em> that??!<br><br>"I do believe I just about have my breakfast ready, I should really be running myself..." he says, idly. "With the Sultana's leave, of course."

She relaxed and two of them vanished, leaving one arm around Morag and the other around Miyako.

"Three bells?" She asked, cocking her head a little to the left as she wasn't sure what the Sultana meant by that. "Is that the same as three o'clock in the afternoon?" While asking these questions, she slowly started to take a few things from the table and carefully fed them to Scarlett, making sure nothing dropped onto herself. At the same time she noticed how Dynn suddenly changed her entire appearance. She couldn't help but stare at them in pure fascination. Being a ninja, she still was eager to find out if she could learn this ability. <br><br>Though at the same time she noticed something too. "Also Sultana your highness, with Dynn being in this shape, I think it would be really hard to kinda tell you how their boobs feels like. I can do a report on their chest though." Her face was completely focused now. After all this was a mission handed down to her by the owner of the Fearless. No way she couldn't mess this up.

When Scarlett was done, she stood up straight. "Okay, I will search out the physician Morag and from her learn the secret arts needed to complete my mission of measuring the size Dyn's chest. After mastering that secret art, I'll go on and track down Dyn no matter what shape they've taken on. And I will succeed in measuring their chest using Morag's secret art. Once I know the size, I'll report back to you as soon as I can." Her face was completely serious and her eyes showed she wouldn't be swayed from her mission. <br><br>"Now if you excuse me Sultana, I have to track down Morag so I can start learning the techniques I need to ensure the success of this mission. Count on me!" With that she disappeared in a poof of smoke. Miyako reappeared in the hallways and started to run along them. It wasn't until she has passed through several corridors before she realized she didn't know where Morag office was. After all she had been spending most of her time on the deck or in her room. Now her first mission was to locate a map of the ship. Luckily this didn't take long as she found a few of those plastered against the walls. Without thinking about the consequences she pulled it down. Studying it, she located Morag's office and the fastest route to it.<br><br>So again she started to run, dodging other staff members of the Fearless, having a few of them give her weird looks, she arrived in front of the door. Without even thinking that one should knock, she opened it and stepped inside. "Doc Morag! I need you to teach me your secret techniques so I can master them and complete my mission!" She stated as if this was the most normal thing in the world. <br>
