【Making her rounds.】

【CD5c5c】
Bezzabelle was sorely tempte d to follow Viv to the bathroom- just to chat from the door, nothing too dramatic- for now!- but she did not doubt that the bashful Pride would prefer privacy. Though it would be cute to see her blush! As it was, Bez contented herself with casually sitting on Viv's bed as she waited in nothing but a towel. She was probably making the bed a bit damp, but she wasn't too worried about it. She took the towel off her head, tossing it to the floor, and leaned back, supporting herself with her arms. She turned to look at her girlfriend with a flirty smile as Viv left the bathroom. Viv joined her on the bed, her long fingers running carefully through her dark hair. “Darling…would you like to help me out?”
Bez smiled, "Of course, Lovely~!"
Bez clambered up onto the bed so she could kneel behind the much taller woman. She began gently untangling Viv's dark locks, enjoying the feeling of running fingers through her hair. It was a bit messy, but not horribly, so Bez was soon able to transition to massaging Viv's scalp and continuing to play with her damp hair.
"Mmm..." Viv tipped her head back, sounding decidedly appreciative.
"Oh, while I'm thinking of it, do you have any product for your hair? I have this wonderful hair serum if you'd like to try it?"
"I have my shampoo and stuff... but what does this serum do?"
Bezzie's expression lit up even more. "Oh, my dear, you'll love it! It keeps your hair feeling silky for days, even with impromptu pool parties." She laughed. "Here, hold on. I'll go grab it."
Bez hastened out of the room, moving faster than was wise considering she wore nothing but a towel. Not that the thought would have made her hesitate, even if it did cross her mind. Soon, she returned with a small white jar with a silver lid. Bez pulled herself back to perch kneeling on the bed just to the right and a bit behind Viv.
"Here, put your head in my lap so I can spread it through more easily. Your hair is so beautiful and flowing already, this will be just the thing!" She didn't bother to adjust the towel where it had flipped open on the corner nearest Viv, leaving a tantalizing amount of leg bare. Why should she? It would only make this more fun!
"Sounds like I could use that, hmm? With you around?" Viv laid back. "What's in this stuff, love? And, oh, thank you! I've been growing it for a while."
Bez couldn't miss the healthy flush to Viv's cheeks. Sweet success! She lay down and Bez spread her hair out over the bed. She uncapped the serum, pausing at Viv's question.
"To be honest, I've never asked. Though at the rate the Envy I get it from charges, you would think it's enchanted!"
Viv laughed. "You should probably ask!"
She took her time spreading the serum through, finishing out the untangling and massaging as she did. The task was relaxing, and Bez was thriving on the close contact.
"Now, do you like your hair up? What kind of styles do you like? I've paid attention through quite a few hair appointments, so sky's the limit for you, dear!"
"You can go wild, darling. I trust you~" she caught and pulled Bezabelle's hand forward, giving it a light kiss.
"Ohh, go wild, you say?" Bezzie’s hand shifted from Viv's lips to the side of her face. Bez leaned over and began placing soft, exploratory kisses on Vivian's face. She took her time, working her way toward Viv's lips and deepening the kisses. Bez was intent on enjoying every last moment of their time together, and once again, playing the game of seeing just how far Viv would like to go.
"Bez..." There was hesitation in Viv's tone, but she also laid back, not quite relaxing, but not resisting either. Bez went for the kiss, taking her time and continuing to angle for just a little more! She didn't want to stay just at kissing and she had a feeling the shy Pride felt the same. She continued, slowly pushing Viv's boundaries until Viv was ready to stop.
Then, Bez broke away, just a little breathless herself. "Oh, wait. You meant your hair, didn't you? " she winked. "Oops. Here, sit up, my dear and hand me your hair things."
"Ah-? Uh, hair, right...?"
She seemed startled, how sweet! Viv sat up obediently, getting her hairbrush and comb from the bedside table. "Here, um... thank you." She kissed Bezabelle's cheek carefully.
Bezabelle leaned into the kiss, giving Viv an appreciative, lingering look. Bez had plans, but that could wait a bit. Instead, she picked up the brush and got to work. Within moments, her deft hands had plaited and twisted Viv's hair into a intricate but fun style with a waterfall braid and a little extra embellishment. It was pretty; half up, but still flowy.
"There, what do you think? That should be good for all sorts of fun activities," she said with a grin. Bez scooted to the side of the bed opposite the door and looked back at Viv over her shoulder. She was curious just how Viv would react to this. Why not find out! "Hey, Viv. I'm getting pretty cold in this damp towel. Would you mind warming me up?" With that, she dropped the towel with a dramatic shiver added in for some flair.
There was a dramatic pause, then, "Bez!" Viv practically tackled her, wrapping her arms around Bez. "Someone could see!" She hissed, pulling Bez back to the bed.
Bez flopped back with an, "Ooof." Of all the possible outcomes, she hadn't really expected to be tackled. But, it definitely put them in a very pleasant position, and the look on Viv's face was priceless. Bezabelle's smile turned sultry as she wrapped her arms around Vivian's neck. "I have to admit, I didn't expect that level of enthusiasm. But this is a very, very nice surprise," she said, slowly pulling up to kiss Viv.
"Mphm!"
Bez thought for a moment that Viv was going to pull away. Instead, she deepened the kiss and Bezabelle responded in kind. She gave an appreciative moan as Viv's hands began to circle, and Bezabelle's hands began to do a bit of wandering of their own. She was already enjoying herself and was looking forward to even more. Bezabelle was just starting to get more bold with her own caressing when Vivian pulled away. She removed her robe, and for a moment, Bez had hope that Vivian was really coming out of her shell.
Instead, she draped it around Bez's shoulders. "There. That should keep you plenty warm," Viv said briskly. How sweet, she was so red! Bez had to repress the urge to pull Vivian into another kiss. She was too adorable, and Bez just wanted to squeeze her and make sure Viv knew just how gorgeous she was. But, for now, Viv seemed a bit too overwhelmed. She let Viv drape the robe around her shoulders without protest. Just a flirty, pleased smile for the darling Pride.
"That is much better, thank you, Dear." She scooted up to get under the covers, looking thoughtful for a moment. "Hmm, I am still a little chilly." She patted the pillow next to her and scooted under the sheets. "How about a nice, tame cuddle?" She winked.
"Put it on properly and then we talk. You keep you hands to yourself."
Bezabelle complied with her demand, trying hard to erase the grin from her face. With the robe securely tied, it was amazing just how much warmer she already was. But the real question was whether Viv would still cuddle, or whether Bez really had gone too far and thoroughly embarrassed her. She didn't regret the little push, however. Things had been going slowly between the pair by Bezzie's standard. That was part of Vivian's appeal, of course, but Bez would always want more.
After a hesitation, Vivian scooted close, planting kisses on Bez's hair. A close call, but it seemed she was forgiven. She gave a little hum of contentment at the contact and contented herself with snuggling for a while. It was still incredibly pleasant, and Viv smelled nice and felt even nicer. After some time, Bez stretched just a little, turning enough that she could look at Viv for a second.
"Hey, I just realized: You didn't get asked a question during the game did you? How about this to make up for it; I will ask you a question, then you can ask me one. Anything, just the truth? Sound good?"
"Well...I guess. Though I wouldn't consider not being asked a bad thing, exactly~"
Bez chuckled at her joke. "Well, I suppose. Liar can be quite the game if you aren't used to it. Though I guess I am glad I get to have your answers all to myself now." Bez was tempted to give Viv another peck on the cheek, but she decided to wait for now. She didn't want to push her luck again until later.
"My ma tried to teach me how to play it well. I...don't really think I did her proud..." Viv admitted, nuzzling Bez again. "I don't really go to galas alone. Just to help the business. My brother's better at it, actually." she smiled softly. Bez made a thoughtful noise in response, enjoying the soft look on Vivian's face for just a moment.
"I hope it isn't too bad if I'm the one asking. I'm looking forward to getting to know you much better~! So, my question: What do you want out of life? Short term, long term, whatever you want to tell me about, really."
"That's...kind of a hard question. I...guess I don't really know. I've gotta help with the business, of course, and I like it, but I'd rather spend more time on earth before I really have to take over...I like what we do, but there's a lot more to explore also...I don't really want to get into contracts but...it could be interesting...right?"
Bez propped her head on her arm as Viv spoke, listening, but mostly watching. Watching her expressions, watching the way her lips moved. Once again, she had to restrain herself to keep from reaching out and brushing those lips with a finger, or even better with a kiss.
At that point, Viv mentioned contracts. Bez sunk back against the pillow with a sigh. There was a beat before she answered in a nonchalant tone, "Really, dear, it depends heavily on whom you end up contracted with. It's a big gamble in the end." She had to pretend she didn't care. Contracts... All Bez knew right now is that she was not ready to discuss her own experiences with that topic.
"Well...of course," Viv answered, "Just that my father used to deal in them. Vengeance contracts. Which wouldn't even be my wheelhouse, would it?" She brushed a finger through Bezabelle's hair. "Even my da said they weren't really worth the trouble, but a wrath contract is quick and dirty. Pride...pride contracts take time to bring to fruition. You're right. It's not worth the risk."
"Hmmm, I've never really thought of that. What does a pride contract generally entail?"
"A pride contract is usually something like...restoring a fallen family, or reviving a business, or one-upping...someone." Viv wrinkled her nose. "Long term, long game. I don't think I'd like it much," she shrugged, reaching down to rub a circle on Bezabelle's arm.
Bez tapped a finger against her cheek, an arm slung behind her head to support it. "I see... Yeah, that could get complicated, huh?" she said in response to Viv's explanation of a Pride contract. "But you're right. They are rarely worth the risk. Look at our poor Cyr! He almost got stuck in a contract with whatever demon gave him that cursed necklace. Didn't ask enough questions." Bez shook her head, lips pursed in disapproval.
"Really? That's awful. Is it all signed and sealed already?"
"Uhg, thankfully, no. That was supposed to happen after the gala. So for him, at least, this whole mess turned out to be very much in his favor. Gave the dummy time to figure out what he was actually getting into." Bez rolled her eyes, getting more exasperated by the moment.
"It takes time...you don't get that many souls, with Pride contracts," Viv murmured. "So it's a good thing I don't want to." She smiled a bit, running her nails through Bezabelle's hair at the update. "Well...that's good. That things will be better for him, at least. When we get out," she said.
Bez had to suppress a wince at the confidence in Viv's voice, though it really was a nice thought. There was a pause, heavy with thought, then they moved to lighter topics, and more light cuddling. Though as nice as the cuddling was, it was making Bez sleepier than she liked. And though she was comfortable enough in Viv's very silky robe, but she figured the Pride would want it back, likely before many of the others saw Bez in it.
"Hey, Viv, I was thinking, now that the pool is available, I can probably do something about my clothes. Though I'll have to borrow from someone until they are washed and dried again." Bez scooted off the bed. "And from what I've seen of your wardrobe, your lovely dresses are just a bit too... fitted for me," she laughed, running her hands down the side of her thighs with a flirtatious shimmy. "So, I think that's my next mission. Want to join?"
Bezabelle decided it was high time for more mischief! And, plus, as comfortable as she was running around shamelessly, clothed or not, she figured clothed would be preferable. Especially since Bez knew Viv would prefer it. Dear Viv~! Things had gotten quiet for a time. Just some nice, sleepy cuddling. Bez turned, nuzzling into Viv. "As much as I'm enjoying stealing your robe, my dear, it's probably time I found a more permanent solution. Like actually cleaning my own stuff? And I'll need to borrow stuff in the meantime. Hmmmmmmm. Oh, there's an idea. Wanna join me?" she asked, popping up.

"You're also... significantly shorter than I am" she pointed out fondly. "We'd have to cut off most of the hem, and then mother would cut off my head"
She rolled her eyes fondly but got up and offered a hand. "Lead the way, darling~"

Over in his room, Ino was moving around the painting. It needed to be somewhere out of the way, but it also needed to not be hidden, lest Eris take offense at him not wanting to display her art. He tried it out by the window, but it had felt a little too tucked away due to the bathroom door, so now he was trying to prop it up by the bookshelf without letting it fall. Maybe on top of the bookshelf? He'd need help getting it up there though... Ino and Viv sneilley Sass Synthesizer sneilley Avatar IS ONLINE less than a minute ago

She followed, because of course she did, and gave Ino a small wave with just her fingers. The older demon was still a little intimidating.

Ino jumped a bit, eyes widening at Bezabelle's sudden appearance. He set the painting down and crossed his arms, tapping his foot twice. "Hmm... I'll consider it. What's in this for me?" He asked, giving a little smirk.
What did he have that would suit Bez? One of the flowy numbers for sure... perhaps the one from the morning of that disasterous last day... Ino and Viv sneilley Sass Synthesizer sneilley Avatar IS ONLINE less than a minute ago

Wouldn't it be enough to have not just one, but two of your extravagant gala outfits displayed for all to see and envy over? I saw some of what you wore to the gala itself, remember? It's very obvious you didn't get them tailored by just anyone. Your clothes are Far too lavish for that." Bez said, deciding to try the route of flattery to start. anthemum Twink Connoisseur anthemum Avatar The daydreamer IS OFFLINE Est Nov 22, 2023 at 7:01pm

His voice was light and teasing, though. His plethora of outfits was luck, not precognition of this predicament. Ino and Viv sneilley Sass Synthesizer sneilley Avatar IS ONLINE less than a minute ago

"Even though I had enough for the gala, you're right, I didn'figure in some grubby handed guard jamming all my stuff back in my bag. Maybe I'll keep that in mind next time. Still, if you planned ahead so well, it would be no hardship to spare one fabulous outfit for just a few hours, no? Plus, if we're talking return of favors, who's one one who got your drunk butt home safely multiple times now? Much better waking up in your own bed than in some alley, right? I know I definitely prefer your bed~." Bez finished with a flirty wink. anthemum Twink Connoisseur anthemum Avatar The daydreamer IS OFFLINE Est Nov 22, 2023 at 7:01pm

She examined the picture closely, trying to figure out what Eris had been going for with this painting. Her art was always so delightfully abstract and unfocused that it really could be anything. anthemum Twink Connoisseur anthemum Avatar The daydreamer IS OFFLINE Est Nov 22, 2023 at 7:01pm

Viv looked between the two, almost feeling like she'd missed a step. What was the relationship between these two demons like? That last smile was like a coded message, so she looked at the painting closely, only becoming more confused. Ino and Viv sneilley Sass Synthesizer sneilley Avatar IS ONLINE less than a minute ago

She wandered to one side, then the other, making a show of holding her hands in a square to approximately measure proportions in various spots. She wandered closer to where she had noticed his bag, still studiously looking elsewhere in the room.
"Ah! There!" She pointed, "How about the window? After all, it's not like you are going to be opening it anytime soon."
As soon as his attention was focused that direction, she turned to snoop in his bag. "By the way, you don't happen to have a bit more of that stuff Amos accused you of having, do you? The stuff that gets you buzzed faster? We don't have anything to use it with yet, but it will be nice to have on hand if we get something." As she had no idea what the stuff even looked like, Bez soon gave up. She turned, hands folded as she pleaded, "Oh, Ino, do say you'll share. Please! It'll be so fun!

"Let me" Viv said, walking over and picking it up with ease, placing it into the corner neatly and then discreetly checking to see if Bezabelle was impressed. "I think it looks good here" she commented.
Since Viv was dealing with the picture, Ino was able to catch Bez's snooping earlier. He grabbed a pencil off the desk, using it to lightly swat at her hands. "Absolutely not. Out. No. The only way that stuff's coming out is if I can use it to prove a point. And you, my dear gluttony, are too tiny for it to work for me" he poked her with the pencil, still careful.
Viv bit her lip, watching the interaction. Personally, she did not like that Ino had poison, nor that her girlfriend was so eager to just take his word for it and try it for fun.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bezabelle thought she had heard something out in the main room. The tinkling of plates, the rattling of a certain metal cart, even the low tones of voices. Still, it took her longer than she would have liked to get to the doorway to peek out. Oh! Their guard had come back. And even more delicious, only Meu was currently with the Mouse. Bez was already plotting the best way to squeeze maximum enjoyment out of this scenario.
Amos kept scanning the room, wary, and Bez kept having to duck her head back to keep from being spotted. Amos seemed rather paranoid. Bez was amused as she wondered if she may be the cause. She was definitely part of it, right?
Then, after a bit more circling the table and a few murmured words, the cart and, sadly, the painting were pushed out of the room. Amos did not leave with them. Ohhh, what was this? Bez could smell an opportunity for more fun, especially as Amos moved to Meu's room and stepped inside. Bez wasted no time in creeping across the room to peek into Meu's room.
This was too good! The two of them were at Meu's desk, heads together, looking down at something. Her imagination could definitely fill the gaps that reality wasn't fulfilling yet. She bit at her lip to try to stop herself. After all, this could develop even further given a little time! However, the words popped out quicker than she wanted. She couldn't resist!
"Ah, what do we have here~! Meu meu! didn't you just say you weren't planning on making a move with our little guard here? " she pouted, moving to block the doorway. "Look at you two, so intimately huddled together! Did I interrupt that kiss you were planning? And more importantly, when can I join the fun?"
She sauntered toward the pair, the sway of her hips accenting the seductive teasing of her words.
“Bezabelle,” he leaned back, casual but scolding nonetheless. “Yes, I also ‘just said’ that I would be needing to handle some personal matters with him. You are interrupting.”
Meu was just a touch grouchy, his arms crossed as the scolding continued. Bezzabelle reveled in it. Especially as Amos started, backing away almost guiltily. How delicious!
"Oh Amos," Bez teased. "I could just eat you up," She said with a wink, halfway between a friendly joke and a full on attempt at seduction. She still stayed in his path as she caught the motion of his eyes toward the door, pausing at just the right moment to block off exit short of crossing her arms bodily over the door. She did not want him to escape that easily!
"So, trying to gain some sort of advantage over our dear Myut, hmm? I suppose I can understand, given your unfortunate little 'family' situation, no?"
"Go away," Amos said, the words falling flat as soon as they left his lips.
Bez watched the pair through her eyelashes, chin raised almost aggressively- if it hadn't been for the smug look on her face. She thought, Look at the pleading look on Amos's face, asking Meu to protect him. It was so adorable. Bez truly had Amos where she wanted. And Meu too, though he didn't know it. Progress, progress!
Then Meu was upon her. He snatched her and she couldn't help but squeak. "Hey, who said I wanted to be manhandled, you big lug!" She squirmed a bit for good measure, but really, she was done. Bez watched Amos leave with a smile. Meu plopped her onto the bed, eliciting another squeak.
“Bezzabelle, you-“ Meu started going into full scolding mode, but she was more interested in the little detail she had just noticed.
She peered around Meu at the desk. "Oh, Amos, dear! You forgot that little love note Meu was writing for you. Here, I can bring it~!" She swung her leg around the roadblock that Meu posed, trying to slide off the bed. After all, she was looking forward to delivering a paper to a little Mouse.
Instead, Meu pushed her back onto the bed, holding her down firmly. “Oh nonono no, no you don’t! You’re staying right there.”
"Oh, Meu!" she flirted. "You should have warned me you were feeling frisky!" Then he used his abilities to conjure a rope, and hastily tied her to the bed. "Oh, how naughty~!" Bez tried to steal a kiss while Meu was close, but her hands were now tied firmly above her head, limiting her mobility.
“Stay.” Meu hastened out. Bez scooted up a bit, head just over the knot, trying to get a better view. Oooh, they were close. Then Meu bent down even nearer. She could not quite see what was happening, but she could definitely imagine. Perfect.
Then, Meu returned. Enough scolding, she thought. Bez was ready to turn things flirty. "Well then, you have me at your mercy. I do hope you plan to take advantage," she said seductively.
“Yeah, I ought to give you a lashing or two,”
Bezabelle's eyes widened at Meu's initial, grumpy response. She bit her bottom lip, then responded with an unrepentant smirk, "Mmm, do you promise? I probably deserve that and more. I've been having a ~very~ good time."
“You certainly do make life more interesting.”
She sighed, getting slightly more serious, though only slightly. A smile still played at her lips as she said, "It is a shame our goals for the little Mouse seem to clash for now."
“Don’t align??” Meu gasped, his hand flying dramatically to his chest.
But-" she paused for emphasis, "I'm sure you'll come out on top in the end." A very appropriate euphemism, she thought.
“Well, we should certainly hope so for the two of us.”
Although," she paused again, seeming to reconsider. "How about I tell you another secret? A free one this time?" The way she licked her lips in anticipation seemed to belie the promise, but she waited eagerly for the Greed's approach.
“Oh?” Meu leaned closer, though not quite close enough to get within Bez's reach. “Do tell.”
"Oh come now," Bez purred, "if you don't come closer, it won't be a secret! We are being watched, you know." Bez pulled against the rope just a bit more, still biting her lower lip suggestively.
“Sounds like something right up your alley~” However, he did indulge her by leaning just a hair closer.
Bez whispered, "That poor little Amos will definitely gravitate toward you now. You have become the safest demon in the room for him, especially with how I've been pushing. Play your cards right, and I'm sure you can make a sort of alliance with our dear Mouse. In fact, I may be depending on it."
“More like pushed right out the door,” he scoffed, but soon relented. “Alright, maybe you are a little useful.”
Bez suddenly strained at the rope, lunging to try to sneak a small kiss. Being tied to the bed like this was working her up just a bit. She couldn't resist~!
Myut immediately pulled back as their lips just brushed together. He tsked once more at her. “Now, now. I think you’re hardly deserving of that, you naughty imp. And what do you think I’ve been doing all this for?”
Success! Her lips brushed his sweetly despite the surprise attack. And the look on his face: priceless! Bez settled back, smug in her victory. Meu scolded once again, but Bez wasn't fazed. He'd tied her to the bed, but she still won.
Her smug look refocused on him as his fingers brushed along her chin, then tightened. He was still smiling, but his eyes and tone were all business. "I need you to focus for a sec, Bezzie~ I'm going to need to know who you're thinking of as the perpetrator so I can best assist our results. Or at least what you think thus far of everyone," voice sharp and business-like at the start of these statements, it suddenly grew gentle and almost affectionate as Mew finished, "We need to make sure we're on the same page. I don't want anything untoward happening to you."
Bez sighed, growing more serious as well. "Oh, Meu. Unfortunately, what I said on our first day here before we knew anything still applies. They're fucking with us. You know I'm familiar with everyone here. No one's stupid enough to get involved in some ridiculous assassination attempt."
"Hmmm, I've also had quite the inkling that this is some outside job, especially with how poorly they're handling us. There's no way they'd have caught the demon actually responsible. Which means they're hoping for a goat to save face. Damn politics," Myut grumbled, rubbing at his temples.
In any case, they've certainly presented a level playing field, what with every sin accounted for. Potentially quite smart on their part," Meu steepled his fingers, pressing the tip of the formation against his upper lip as he gazed up at the ceiling in thought. "Of course, that doesn't get us any closer to getting out of here." The Greed's eyes lowered back down to Bez. "I'm doing my best, but the strings outside are hard to reach. We need to have a backup plan ready. Someone's going to be sent to the chopping block, Bezabelle. And it isn't going to be you or I."
Bezabelle had to work to keep her expression chipper. Just the smallest trickle of her abilities, really. She hated doing it, especially in front of Meu, but she had no choice. Though, it helped to realize that Meu had all but forgotten she was still tied to the bed. Or even better, perhaps he hadn't and was merely taking advantage?
She shifted, easing the slight pressure in her arms before they could start falling asleep. "We'll have to see what can be done, won't we, Meu? But until then, let's have as much fun as possible with it, hmm?" She teased, much more nonchalantly than she felt. Almost perfectly nonchalant.
“Yeah. ‘Fun’. Sure.”
Meu looked... almost disappointed with her answer. Her stomach tightened a bit, but she tried not to let it show, keeping the easy smile firmly in place. He was losing interest, as he tended to when there were no further secrets or plans or interesting trinkets involved.
She laughed, "Yes, fun! As long as we make sure we're not on the chopping block, why not? I don't have much of a plan yet, but I'm sure something will shake out. But, speaking of fun..." she examined him up and down, her gaze lingering, "perhaps there is a chance of something more immediate~?"
“Ah, yes!” He agreed, quickly untying her. However, instead of playing with her, Myut propped her up onto her feet and started shooing her toward the door. “I’m sure you’ll find something in no time!” He waved at her with a close-eyed smile, turning to stalk back into the depths of his room.
Bez happened to notice as Eris sneaked off, taking that posture that said she was going to get into something. Ah, that gave her an idea! She, Val, and Eris still needed to have that chat about Eris's very-exploitable potential lover. Bez had no doubt that Eris would try to avoid the conversation if she saw it coming, so Bez would have to make sure Eris didn't see it coming! Simple, really, and Bez had just the idea to make it work. And now that Eris was definitely occupied for the next few minutes, Bez could definitely set up her little trap.
She just needed the other player, who was currently snuggled up with a certain Lust demon before the fire. Did she really want to break that up? Yes! And no.... Then Val started shifting. Ah, waking up, no doubt! She may as well wake him up. There was a plan to set in motion!
"Val.... Val. Val!" Bez stage whispered, getting closer with each repetition until she was crouching beside the sprawled Sloth. "Val, I need your help. No time to waste, hurry!" FaddedFox — 10/21/2022 7:02 PM Val was verryyyyyyyy happy to be snuggled up to Cyr. Cyr was warm and certainly inviting. He hummed softly. He and Cyr and grown more tangled up as they slept, Val's natural slothiness wanting to cling to the warmth and not let go.
When he heard Bez, he grumbled burying his face in Cyr's neck to hide. But Bez wouldn't let him be and when she was on top of him, poking him, he had no choice bit to slowly open a crimson eye to look at her. "Mnnnn.... better be worth it" he grumbled, though with Bez it probably was, but stilllllll he had Cyr in his grasp. He sighed and slowly untangled himself but not before kissing Cyr's cheek. He got up then to follow after Bez, not caring he was still in just a towel. SNeilley — 10/21/2022 7:48 PM "Alright, not much time," Bez said urgently. She glanced over to check on Eris's status, and was pleased to see her thoroughly occupied. Perfect! "Okay, Eris and I will meet you in her room. Quick, and quiet! I don't want her to suspect that we are going to talk about you know who." ((Should she warn him about the trappppp?) ((Would he remember)))) FaddedFox — 10/21/2022 8:06 PM (Uhhh I don't remember the trap so he probably forgot and sleep daze) (Wait do you mean trap for Eris or door trap SNeilley — 10/21/2022 8:09 PM Eris's door trap FaddedFox — 10/21/2022 8:10 PM Yeah I don't think he remember Wanna warn? SNeilley — 10/21/2022 8:18 PM (I dunnooo. Would Bez? She isn't 100% mean buttttttt But she does like Val, and is literally asking a favor of himmmm Yeah, she will. Bez hurried Val along, turning back to face the room, before she remembered, "Oh, Val, wait!" She hurried back to his side and whispered, don't forget Eris's booby trap, yeah?" Bez winked and went back to the middle of the room, casually leaning against the armchair and looking at her nails, pretending to be lost in thought a second, until she saw Val slip behind Eris's makeshift curtain.
"Eris! Eris, I just saw someone slip into your room!" Bez shouted, pointing accusingly at the slightly fluttering blanket at the door FaddedFox — 10/22/2022 9:58 PM Trap? "Oh fuck" he grumbled and nearly fell into said trap. He managed to get around it just in time before he flopped down on the bed and waited. He missed Cyr's arms already. Abi — 10/29/2022 9:15 AM Eris was lurking, a plan in the forefront of her mind, but apparently she was not being sneaky enough, skulking near the boy's side of the room, but she was drawn out of her focused state by Bez calling her name. Someone in her room?
Eris whirled around, her eyes targeting the still fluttering sheet. Who?? Her expression suddenly changed as she bolted back to her room, neatly hopping over her trap, so see who exactly it was intruding on her territory.
She stopped short, however, when she saw that it was just Val, sprawled on her bed. "What are you doing?" She asked, confused. FaddedFox — 10/29/2022 9:21 AM Val looked up at her and smiled. "Bez told me to come over here," he said. "She said it was important. I hope so. I was so coommffoooortttabllleeee with Cyr." He wondered if Cyr would be welcome to cuddles again later. SNeilley — 10/29/2022 10:11 AM At that moment, the sheet fluttered once more as Bez surveyed the trap laid out on the floor, then carefully made her way around it. "Ah, good! You're both here," she said, feining innocence. "Guess that means now is a good time to make plans." She rubbed her hands together conspiratorially. Abi — 10/29/2022 10:16 AM Eris looked quite puzzled. But then Bez came in, gingerly skirting the trap, and spoke. Plans? Ah, alright, if they were making plans, that was fine. "Alright," she said, plopping on the bed next to Val, putting away the canvas she'd been clutching to her chest. FaddedFox — 10/29/2022 10:22 AM Val perked up a little. "Plans?" He mused. His first thought was that she had something she wanted to plot against the other demons here based on their responses. Maybe she found out something? He moved on the bed to hug Eris around the middle where he lay and looked at Bez. "Alright. I'm intrigued. " SNeilley — 10/30/2022 3:44 PM Bez leaned back, gently biting her lower lip in a feeble attempt to hide her grin. She gave up, focusing on Eris with a mischievous look. "Soooo, we need to talk about this handsome demon who is head over heels with you! Who is he? Is he in deep? Does he have any connections or anything you might want? We need details, Eris! Details!" By the end, Bez had taken a couple steps closer to the Wrath, hands clasped as though begging, but she looked far too excited. Abi — 10/30/2022 3:54 PM Eris looked up abruptly as if she had been scalded, pouting. "You tricked me!" She cried out, realizing that Bez had lured her back to needle her about that boy! "I'm not tellin nothin," she said, crossing her arms grumpily. FaddedFox — 10/30/2022 3:56 PM Val gave a teasing pout. "That was what was urgent? You cost me a good cuddle with Cyr." He was intrigued about the boy though. "Eriiisssss you gotta now. Got me invested. Make my sacrifice worthwhile, " he implored. SNeilley — 10/30/2022 4:08 PM "Please Please Please!" Bez implored. Abi — 10/31/2022 1:28 PM "He's just a stupid envy demon," Eris pouted, turning her face away. "I don't even remember what his name was." FaddedFox — 11/03/2022 9:29 AM "Oh come, my dear. Don't you want to have some fun and get pampered?" SNeilley — 11/06/2022 5:17 PM "Or at least make him ridiculously embarrassed in return to even the playing field?" Abi — 11/11/2022 1:12 PM "I don't want him breathing my air," Eris insisted, pouting. "Think about it. He says he liked me. clearly there's something else wrong going on there." FaddedFox — 11/11/2022 1:30 PM Val couldn't help but laugh. "Why? I like you. Bez likes you. Does that really mean something is wrong? You underestimate yourself." SNeilley — 11/14/2022 6:49 PM "Well, whether there is something wrong or not, I think it would be better to get to him before he could get to you. Get the first strike and all," Bez said with a shrug. "Regardless, I guess that can wait. More immediately, what do the two of you think of more current events?" Abi — 02/22/2023 11:10 AM The first strike...yeah. Eris nodded thoughtfully. "You're right. Perhaps I should do some reconnaissance..." She stretched lazily. "With that annoying guard? I think we should trap him and hold him hostage until they let us out." SNeilley — 02/22/2023 11:12 AM Bez laughed, "You saw how much they cared when I wouldn't let him out. Who knows if they'd bother to get their little Mouse back in the first place. " FaddedFox — 02/22/2023 11:30 AM "Agreed. He's a pawn. He doesn't need to much, and he doesnt," Val yawned. "We won't get much in the way of info until a bigger fishy comes to play. " Abi — 02/22/2023 11:30 AM Eris twisted her mouth to one side, then the other. "Well perhaps we hold him hostage anyway?" She suggested. "For fun?" SNeilley — 02/22/2023 11:32 AM Bez smiled, "I'm game." FaddedFox — 02/22/2023 11:33 AM Val chuckled. "I suppose he's fun to play with regardless. Who do you think is the likely culprit? Are they even in this lockdown? Abi — 02/22/2023 11:37 AM "Perhaps it's the purple one, but I like him. He"s friendly. So we should bring him with us if we--" Eris suddenly shut her mouth, remembering what ino had told her. "He told me that we're probably being watched," she said after a beat, her eyes large and her voice her best attempt at a whisper. SNeilley — 02/22/2023 11:43 AM "What a fun question," Bez sighed, flopping back on the bed. She watched Eris as she spoke, already feeling sleepy again. "Whisper all you want, I don't think it'll help. And no. I don't think it's anyone here. I don't think this even has anything to do with this supposed assassination attempt." She snuggled into Val, her last words a bit muffled. FaddedFox — 02/22/2023 11:45 AM "Then we're on the same page," Val yawned and snuggled up beside Bez. A lazy smile touched his lips. "Won't your love have reason to object, Bezzy? Your in bed with a naked demon." He only had a towel after all and that at best was falling off. SNeilley — 02/22/2023 11:47 AM Bez just grumbled, snuggling tighter in defiance. Abi — 02/22/2023 11:49 AM Eris made a face. "Don't be weird on my bed," she complained, swatting at Val's leg. SNeilley — 02/22/2023 11:49 AM FaddedFox — 02/22/2023 11:51 AM I legit started laughing Abi — 02/22/2023 11:51 AM Hehehe SNeilley — 02/22/2023 11:52 AM "Well then, you come cuddle too and it'll be fine. " FaddedFox — 02/22/2023 11:54 AM Val stuck his tongue out at Eris playfully. "That's right " he said and rested his head in Bez's. "I may go back and snuggle Cyr so you better join the snuggle pile before its gone." Abi — 02/22/2023 11:55 AM "We should be making plans," Eris sulked, but she obliged to join on Bez's other side with a grumpy little sigh. SNeilley — 02/22/2023 11:55 AM ((Omg i love Eris)) FaddedFox — 02/22/2023 12:02 PM "Mmm there isn't much we can do yet. We don't have information. Our game didn't reveal tooooo much really. Everyone is on guard. I suppose trying to talk to the others can be fruitful, but I don't think we'll get much in the end." SNeilley — 02/22/2023 12:08 PM Bez made a noncommittal noise. Abi — 02/22/2023 3:35 PM Eris whined softly. "It's dumb," she groused, though she was growing drowsy. "This whole thing is...dumb..." SNeilley — 02/22/2023 6:51 PM Bez suddenly stirred back to life, wriggling around until she could prop herself up on her elbows and get less comfortable, "No, wait. Eris is right. We gotta..." a large yawn split her thought, "gotta plan a bit. Val, can you Shhhhh the sleepy for a bit. Need to focus." FaddedFox — 02/22/2023 7:03 PM Val pouted. "Finnnneeeeeee" he grumbled. He pulled back on his aura. He sat himself up then as well. "What did you have in mind?" SNeilley — 02/22/2023 7:12 PM "I think," Bez said, blinking more awake, "that we need to be watchful for now. Just look for any kind of opportunity and jump on it and share when we get the chance. Or, if we need backup... maybe we need some kind of code?" Abi — 02/22/2023 7:16 PM "Oh, a secret code," Eris said, her eyes lighting up. "A code would be good." SNeilley — 02/22/2023 7:41 PM "Any suggestions?" FaddedFox — 02/22/2023 8:02 PM "Mmmm if we need help how about we say.... bubble gum? That is not something wr usually say. Abi — 02/22/2023 9:12 PM "We could make smoke signals," Eris suggested. "Well........I could make smoke signals," she amended. SNeilley — 02/22/2023 11:01 PM Bez laughed. "Yes, Eris dear, if we see smoke coming out of your ears, we'll be sure to come running. For any other situation needing a bit more discretion, I am fine with bubble gum, maybe. Bit hard to work it into conversation though. Oh well. I think it would end up a bit obvious when the other two come running anyway." Bez shrugged, then smiled, kicking her legs lightly as she looked between her two companions. FaddedFox — 02/22/2023 11:15 PM "Perhaps! But I must say... I find Myut and Cyr of special interest." SNeilley — 02/22/2023 11:35 PM "Oh? In what way?" Bez asked, feigning innocence Abi — 02/23/2023 10:15 AM Eris giggled, but then arched an eyebrow. "I saw the greed flirting with the little purple guy earlier," she said, which was her only real contribution to the conversation, since she had done her best to avoid both of the much larger men. FaddedFox — 02/23/2023 10:19 AM "Welllll I couldn't snoop long in Myut's room. He caught MD. But he is super fun to play with, though he did try to manhandle me," he mused. "Secrets secrets. And Cyr... that piece of cursed jewelry has me a wondering." He answered. "And both are very handsome." He grinned then in his usual 'offer a tidbit of actual insight covered in nonsense' style. SNeilley — 02/23/2023 5:46 PM "Well, funny that I'm saying this twice today, but the main thing you need to know about Meu is that he is truly a Greed demon. Far more focused on items and things than anything else, especially when they are His. If you keep that in mind, your interactions will go much smoother." She sighed. "As far as Cyr," she waved her hand dismissively, "he's just a giant dummy who was too trusting for his own good." Abi — 02/23/2023 6:00 PM "I wonder what it does," Eris mused. "Perhaps we could steal the necklace?" SNeilley — 02/23/2023 6:05 PM Bez huffed, annoyed at Cyr all over again. "From what I understood, it's nothing good and definitely not worth having around. When they said cursed, they meant it." FaddedFox — 02/23/2023 6:46 PM "Well, it begs the question of who gave it to him. And why. That story is quite interesting. I wouldn't touch it though, Bez is right," he mused. "Bezzy. You seem to stick up for their honor quite quickly. Know them intimately?" Abi — 02/23/2023 7:00 PM "I bet she does," Eris piped up. "Bez knows everybody ever." FaddedFox — 02/24/2023 7:47 AM "Mmm yes. Then who do you think has something to do with it? I don't think it's Ino. Poison or not, envy or not, I do not see him as murderous," he mused. "And Viv wouldn't take a cowardly path like assassination into consideration. " SNeilley — 02/24/2023 10:06 AM "Like I said, no one here. I think they are lying to us about the reason we are here in the first place," she said, casually examining her fingernails. Abi — 02/24/2023 10:06 AM "But what do we do?" Eris fretted a little. "Throw someone under the bus?" SNeilley — 02/24/2023 10:08 AM "Tch." Bez frowned. "I haven't decided yet." FaddedFox — 02/24/2023 10:22 AM "So then. I was right. We wait?" Abi — 02/24/2023 10:23 AM "We gotta find a time to break out!" Eris exclaimed SNeilley — 02/24/2023 10:33 AM Bez sat up and pulled herself off the bed. "We wait. And if we're lucky..." she smiled at Eris, "we get out of here. " Bez turned to leave. FaddedFox — 02/24/2023 10:48 AM "Sounds good to me," he mused. Val got up then to head back to his cuddle spot with Cyr.
Cyr sat up abruptly, looking around, alarmed. His hair, dried haphazardly, fell into his eyes, and he hastily brushed it away to look around. Nothing. No one was near him. He was ok. Except his back, ouch. Cyr painstakingly stood, stretching his back and groaning softly. That was enough lying on the floor for one day. He gathered his things and the towel he'd been lying on, sauntering slowly back to his room.
How long had he slept for? It was dark outside now. Not that it really mattered in this place. Cyr examined his now dry clothing and groaned softly. While they were not horrible, he would not be able to wear these pieces again before they had a proper washing. The pants he'd been wearing had taken on a slight, strange discoloration, and the shirt Bezzie had been wearing had grown stiff after it dried, which he wasn't thrilled about at all.
Not to mention that, in his earlier frustration, he'd swept all his jewelry into one bag together, and now it was all tangled up. Damn it all.
First, he sorted out the pieces of clothing he could still wear again. Anything not stained. Surprisingly, most of his nicer pieces had made it out unscathed, probably because he'd worn them during the day. He changed into a long, loose t-shirt and swapped for a new pair of boxer shorts, before trying vainly to fix his hair with a bit of water from the sink, dampening it and refreshing the curls with his fingers before combing it out and giving up on looking presentable for now. He'd just need to actually wash it later. There had been so many soaps and things by the pool, certainly there was at least one he could use to re-soften his hair and style it before it dried completely?
Right now, though, he didn't want to hop right back into the water. For one, one of the others might currently be in there, and he wasn't interested in being social at the moment, and for two, he really needed to fix his things while he had the energy and the will to begin undertaking such a frustrating task.
He alternated between untangling necklaces and earrings and hanging up articles of clothing, trying to shake out wrinkles and renew folds. sneilley Sass Synthesizer sneilley Avatar IS ONLINE less than a minute ago

Even while trapped in the Prince's prison/holiday suite, she found she had plenty to do. Which was fortunate, because she wasn't looking forward to that inevitable time of evening when it started getting quiet. She had already had her fill of that the previous evening. So, when she started noticing Cyr waking, her interest was immediately peaked. She thought through things and decided it was high time to start the next phase of her plan with the Lust. She was looking forward to this conversation, and she had high hopes that Cyr would not disappoint.
She stood, stretched, and casually made her way into Cyr's room. He looked grumpy and half asleep. A nap with dear Val could definitely do that to you. Bez knew from experience! Still, she couldn't help the giggle that escaped. "My, my, looks like someone had a good nap! What's next on the list then?" She strolled over to look over the piles of things Cyr was groggily sorting through. Pieluver Website Destroyer Pieluver Avatar Pie IS OFFLINE EST Dec 16, 2023 at 8:46am

He blinked slowly and glanced up at Bezzie when she entered and offered her a wan smile. He wasn't sure how he felt about her at the moment. Perhaps that would depend on how she acted next, so maybe he should keep an open mind? he resisted the urge to look away, instead leaning back on one arm and sighing, the interwoven chains in his other hand dangling down.
"Struggling," he said a bit dryly. "I don't know how they manage to get so tangled so quickly."
He shot her a discerning look. "I suppose you've been busy having some fun?" sneilley Sass Synthesizer sneilley Avatar IS ONLINE less than a minute ago

"Always," she said coyly, a smile teasing at the corners of her mouth. "But, I suppose that is why I came to see you in a way. A little... fun."
He leaned back, but she came even closer, letting her fingers drag lightly over his as she took the chains. She kept herself reined otherwise. Why not keep him guessing about her intentions for as long as possible~? Bez lifted the tangled jewelry up to eye level, twisting the mess this way and that to see just where the crux of the issue was. She stood less than a hands breadth from Cyr, pretending to be oblivious to the closeness.
"Ahh, I see. To answer your question, they tangle because there are more ways for them to be tangled than not." She pulled one segment free, then threaded her fingers through a couple other spots and stretched the necklaces out. She held her hands apart, cat's cradle style, to show off.
"See, untangled, but," a couple deft twists and weaves of her fingers left an even more tangled mess, "tangled is just so much more interesting, no?"
She tossed the mess further down the bed, then looked back up to Cyr with a fiendish smile. "You know, I have been putting some thought into your own tangles here." Last Edit: Nov 6, 2022 at 5:59pm by sneilley Pieluver Website Destroyer Pieluver Avatar Pie IS OFFLINE EST Dec 16, 2023 at 8:46am

1,050 POSTS & 0 LIKES Nov 6, 2022 at 6:18pm Quote Post Options Post by Pieluver on Nov 6, 2022 at 6:18pm Cyr watched her closely as Bezabelle drew closer, in that way she did, like she wasn't really even moving, just sort of...became nearer with no forewarning. And she liked to be close. He didn't usually mind it, but he could already feel an aura radiating from her that made him wonder how much danger he was currently in.
She took the tangled necklaces from him, her fingers tracing along the side of his. Her dainty hands wove through the metal, isolating the source of the tangle as she held it aloft between them, close enough to grab him. Or be grabbed.
Cyr lowered his eyelids slightly as she spoke, watching her face as she wove the chains into a child's game, then just as quickly twisted her fingers until they were even more entangled with each other. He frowned ever so slightly. Of course she'd think so, but he wasn't about to argue with her on it.
"Ah," he said softly in response to her devious look. "Have you now?" He turned to look at his poor tangled jewelry instead of her, though that was hard, considering how close she was. He picked up another, a cuff earring tangled up in itself and it's asymmetrical partner. "What sorts of thoughts have you been having?" sneilley Sass Synthesizer sneilley Avatar IS ONLINE less than a minute ago

Almost. Silly Cyr. Bez looked down at her fingers, fidgeting slightly, just another ploy to attract attention.
"Well, I think it is high time that we come up with a plan for a certain, devastatingly handsome Greed demon, don't you?" She looked back up, hoping to be quick enough to catch his eye and read his expression. "And I would be more than happy to help you with said planning. For a price, of course."

He glanced at her for a moment without moving his head, but upon catching her eye he quickly looked away, feeling a little confused. She'd been cagey before, what had initiated this change. A price? He...had an idea of what that price may be. Was that a road he was willing to trod?
Well...it was true that he didn't have much to look forward to once they got out of this place, maybe it would be for the better if he at least gave this a shot? Especially with the envy demon seeming so hell bent on antagonizing him, maybe it would be nice to have someone in his corner.
At least, perhaps, it would be nice to indulge in the fantasy.
"A price?" he asked, looking very focusedly down at the earrings in his hands. "What sort?" his eyes finally flicked up to look properly at her, eyebrow still slightly quirked. sneilley Sass Synthesizer sneilley Avatar IS ONLINE less than a minute ago

Bez turned coy again, taking her time responding as she lazily turned from him and circled. Bez pulled herself up onto the bed and leaned back to imitate his posture. She looked up at him, far too pleased with herself.

She was smug. She knew she had his attention, and she would happily gloat about it for as long as she knew she could get away with. His eyes flicked over her as she settled. This girl was too clever for her own good, honestly.
Plan first, price later? Clearly she knew that he wouldn't like the price. Cyr caught his lip between his teeth, weighing his options. A rare opportunity? With the way they were trapped in here? Or was there something else Bez knew that he didn't?
And then, that line of questioning. Cyr turned slightly pink. He was not shy with the mechanics of physicality, not embarrassed by touch, but that was just it. He didn't care about that. Those were things he did to feed. What he really wanted was the attention. And the fantasy. Playacting at romance, lusting after that sort of chaste intimacy that only existed in the stories humans told each other and he read about alone at 3am, where things always seemed to fade to black and they always talked at length about how much they loved each other.
The exact sort of thing Bezzie didn't seem to care for.
He put down the earrings, cleaning underneath his nails with his thumbnail instead. "I don't know," he mumbled. "I hadn't thought that far ahead..." Which was absolutely a lie, but the truth was too embarrassing to admit. sneilley Sass Synthesizer sneilley Avatar IS ONLINE less than a minute ago

So, now for your punishment, it's time to fess up and get creative! We've got some planning to do!"
She bumped his shoulder playfully, previous flirting now flipped to friendly teasing. She pulled her legs up onto the bed and crossed them, still leaning back. Pieluver Website Destroyer Pieluver Avatar Pie IS OFFLINE EST Dec 16, 2023 at 8:46am

Then he rubbed his jaw a little, evaluating what he wanted to say. "I don't know," he finally said at length. "All I know is he's handsome, and I like it when he pays attention to me. I'm not really worried about anything else right now." Cyr turned a bit pink again. "He seems a bit shy too," he added, as if that was the most irresistible quality in a man.

She moved on, "Attention, eh? Then it looks like that should be what we go after, then see where it leads, hmm? And shy? I don't know if that is quite it. This is... unusual for Meu. He's a Greed in the truest sense, so the fact that you have gained his attention and it's not just something you possess, hmmm. I wasn't kidding when I said you have a rare opportunity here."
She sat up enough to temple her fingers together and tap them in sequence as she thought. "Now, just to figure out how to work my magic~!

His eyes lit up ever so slightly as she spoke. Unusual? he tipped his head slightly. He didn't have a lot of experience with greed demons. Although, technically speaking, lust demons could be considered commodity, affording to keep one in employ, whether through payment or contract, was quite the luxury. And he was quite unique looking, for a lust demon. And that certainly wasn't a scenario he'd played in his mind before, being headhunted by a greed demon who at first, perhaps, coveted him for his looks, but whose jealousy would melt into an insatiable desire for his attention, his affection, his everything, and then maybe they'd fall into something like love? Haha...he would definitely never daydream about something like that. And if it did, it would certainly not rank fourth on his list of daydreams, right behind being in a dramatic love triangle with the Prince, straight out of those fantasy tales with fancy dresses and knights and intrigue.
Bez was talking again. Oops, he should be paying attention, she was planning. A stronger move? Sparks flying? And soon?
"Alright," he said, thoughtful now. If he could just find the right moment... and hopefully he wouldn't mess it up since they had...how many more days trapped in this place together? But if it did work out? Okay, okay, he needed a cost benefit analysis. And a plan. Since it felt like every time he actually got close to interacting with the gorgeous greed demon, his brain shorted right out and stopped working.
"You don't think I'll mess it up?" he asked, sounding slightly unsure of himself. "Should I....should I give him something?" he looks around himself. "I didn't bring anything particularly good," he fretted. sneilley Sass Synthesizer sneilley Avatar IS ONLINE less than a minute ago

"I got it, I got it, no gifts." That warm redness tinged his cheeks again. He'd never actually really done anything like this. He tended to match the energy of others, so if they flirted with him, he'd flirt back. It was fun but it didn't mean all that much.but initiating? With someone else? Someone whose response he cared about?
Terrifying.
He released Bez's hand, looking at her. "So that's the planning then, isn't it? What's the price?"
Bez laughed at him. He released her hand and she replied,"Oh, so impatient! But no, we've only just started planning. But, I suppose if you're that eager, I could indulge you."

When she settled down there, he looped his arms around her hips, elbows on her thighs, clasping them loosely behind her tailbone as he looked up at her.
"You're responsible for behaving and preventing your girlfriend from eating me alive, got it?" He said, a little stern.
He had promised her, after all. And as uneasy as he felt, it was just a week, wasn't it? Could it hurt so much? Especially if she was willing to help with Myut, that meant she understood, even if she was clearly hell-bent on pushing his boundaries in all the most tempting ways.

For someone so tiny, she had the unmistakable talent of expanding and taking up as much space as she was allowed. He held her waist, not merely an intimacy, but a useful boundary, as her hands were always quick to wander. He yielded to her mouth, to the hunger he could feel just under her skin--commingled sweetly in their breath.
He couldn't let himself go completely under the brain-scrambling force of Bez's lust, since her fingers kept hooking the band of his shorts whenever he wasn't paying close enough attention. He knew he could tell her to stop, and she would, but he only grazed his teeth over the warm curve of her shoulder and murmured a warning "Bezabelle." His hands were soft and light when they redirected hers, still with that careful gentleness as if she was made of spun sugar and glass, even though now, more than ever, he could feel how much she wanted more.
Part of his mind ruminated over the open door-frame separating them from the rest of the group, from the Pride demon who would not be as careful with him as he'd be defending himself from her, but that was the beauty of Bez--she made it so easy to not care about anything except what was right in front of him.
She continued to push his limits, though, just a little more and a little more, until it was enough to pull him out of the haze. He felt warm--certainly he was flush, skin shimmering from their nearness--but now it was too warm. He shifted, rolling onto his side to gently deposit the gluttony demon at his side before making a little space between them, breathing heavily.
"Is my payment good?" he asked, his voice a little muted, eyes glossy from satisfaction. He reached out to nudge a little hair out of her face and behind her ear. sneilley Sass Synthesizer sneilley Avatar IS ONLINE 1 minute ago

For all his hesitations, Cyr was still a Lust, and she could feel it. Just hearing him say her name sent a new wave of excitement through her each time. He was basically scolding her, but still, there wasn't that much conviction behind it. Each time he moved her hand, she took it as an invitation to get that much more creative. She was enjoying discovering the ways he responded to her attentions.
She could feel the shift in his focus, in his breathing, so she wasn't caught off guard when he turned to shift her off, his face flushed. He even scooted away a bit. Bez giggled at how dazed he seemed. She turned to face him and propped her head on her hand. When he reached out, she leaned into his touch, just a bit.

He half-closed his eyes with a little sigh. The energy he'd gleaned tingled through his system, but already he felt a little empty again. It was unclear how much of that was his own fault and how much was hers. Bez was like a drug, after all. The more you indulged, the more there was to regret later.
He tossed a few thoughts around in his mind for a moment. Would it be weird to circle the conversation about around that way? Yes, but she'd started it in the first place. Certainly he could ask another question or two, right? And anyway, she was Bez. Monogamy was the opposite of her thing.
"Tell me," he said after a beat, golden eyes opened enough now to search her face. There were so many questions he could ask. About her, about him, about this game she seemed to be playing. What did she want? But he settled on a tamer question. "How'd you meet Myut?" Would he glean any insight there? Probably not, but he didn't want her to hop up and leave so quickly...if she could just stick around for another minute or two...

"Same way you usually meet a Greed demon. He had something I wanted," she started simply. She flopped onto her back, putting her hands behind her head and getting comfortable before continuing. "Though things got a bit interesting since I didn't have anything to pay him with. But, I did have an in that Myut needed to get something he wanted. So, we went on a little adventure that had way more twists than expected. One deal led to another and another, and that's how it's been since."

He always enjoyed listening to her regale him with stories of her adventures and mishaps. There was so much to get into, so much trouble to escape, so many games to play, and so much at stake, all the time. And she made it look so easy.
She kept it vague, though. Whatever twists and turns they'd encountered were left up to his guess. And if he knew Bez, she probably had him wrapped around her finger too, whether he knew it or not. Cyr sat up slowly, still a little punch drunk, and ran his fingers through his hair, which was probably already a terrible, horrible mess again, this time courtesy of Bez's fingers.
Questions still jangled around in his head, but he couldn't put any of them to words well enough to say anything. Maybe they'd just have to talk later. It wasn't like he was going to end up on any sort of late night rendezvous, he didn't have to worry so much about things yet. They had the morning, hopefully with his head screwed on straight again. Though he was still terribly curious about what Bez meant when she said he acted differently around him. What was he normally like?? What even did that mean?

The kiss on the forehead was nice and all, but Cyr was too quick for her to do anything else about it. He knew her just a bit too well. She enjoyed his teasing comments. No more testing his luck until day seven, huh? She definitely did not agree to that, but she saw no reason to make him worry yet. She pulled herself up, moving around toward the door.
"Alright, alright. In the morning then." She waved over her shoulder. By the time she got to the door, though, she paused. "Hey, can I ask a favor? Not a price or a deal or.... just a favor?" She looked back at him. "Just, when you get with Meu, or whatever happens, don't forget about me, kay?"
Bez left, barely finishing before she was gone.
Cyr couldn't shake this restless feeling. His heart felt strange and worn out, and his gut wouldn't settle. Neither would his mind. Everything that happened now felt like a dream, and he was somewhat afraid that it had been. A dream. Or worse, what if Myut decided to pretend like it didn't happen. Greed demon's weren't as.......as pride or envy, but it seemed like the white haired man didn't enjoy owing others anything. Or feeling like he owed someone something.
It also didn't help that he'd slept so long earlier in the day. He did linger for a moment, thinking that Val would probably happily welcome him...but that could cause issues down the line. It would be better to just stare at the ceiling in his darkened room anxiously all night instead.
So Cyr lay and tormented himself for a while, until he couldn't bear it anymore. Then he hauled himself out of bed with a frustrated sound and lumbered into the small adjoining bathroom. He didn't bother to shut the door, just leaned over the sink very faintly illuminated by the firelight two rooms away and splashed his face with cool water before shoveling a few palmfulls into his mouth and over his chin.
Shoot. He'd dropped the towel on his floor earlier when he changed...where was it?
Cyr padded back out into his room, groping around for the towel. Or maybe it was his shirt? Whatever it was, he wiped his face with it and then went to flop back over in bed, feeling a little better with some cool water in his system. sneilley Sass Synthesizer sneilley Avatar IS ONLINE a few seconds ago

All the fear kept at bay during the daylight bustle was crowding back to the forefront of her mind here in the dark. There was nothing she could do but sit here with her chin on her knees and stare at the fire. She had to calm down. She had to sleep. She couldn't do anything about any of it anyway, right?
Her heart was just starting to still when she heard noise from one of the rooms. Cyr's? Probably. There was the soft pad of feet across the floor, then water was running from his bathroom faucet. Bez was drawn to the noise like a moth to flame, standing in the doorway before she knew it. Then, a mischievous grin lit up her face. She had just been hoping for a distraction. This could be perfect! Looking around once more to make sure no one else was up, Bez scampered across the room, vaulting noiselessly into the bed and snuggling under the warm covers.
She scooted as quiet as she could toward the middle of the bed, pleased that Cyr did not seem to hesitate as he threw a cloth on the floor and came back over to flop into the bed. He hadn't noticed her yet, but,oh, he would!
As Cyr settled in, so did she, snuggling close and pressing herself against him with a pleased little noise in the back of her throat. Pieluver Website Destroyer Pieluver Avatar Pie IS OFFLINE EST Dec 16, 2023 at 8:46am

There was nothing at all wrong with a little skinship.
It took a few seconds for his brain to catch up with the rest of him. It wasn't unusual to be in someone else's bed, but this one was his bed and he didn't remember inviting anyone in. There certainly hadn't been someone here when he got up a few minutes ago, right? And the options were limited. More limited as he could feel the stature of the body tucked against him.
"Bezabelle?" he murmured in a low, sleep-rasped voice. His voice betrayed nothing but a minor confusion. His hand groped for the nape of her neck. Felt like Bezabelle. He pressed his face against the top of her head. Smelled like Bezabelle. His sigh ruffled her hair. "Bezabelle," he said again, opening his eyes and waiting for them to adjust to the low-light so he could give the little gluttony a stern look.

"I always behave," she lied. "You know me, I only want what you want, as long as you have the sense to agree with me about what you want!"

But there had been something else percolating in his head lately, which had only intensified after talking to Val, and then to Ino.
"Bezabelle..." he said softly, his hold on her tightening just a little. "If I went to hide up on Earth for a bit, after we get out of here, would you come visit me?" sneilley Sass Synthesizer sneilley Avatar IS ONLINE a few seconds ago

She's more convincing as a Pride than you are as a Lust." With that, her hand made a sudden swoop to his waistband, though she didn't get more risqué than a quick tickle just at the inside edge of his hip. She returned to tracing leisurely shapes with her fingertips.
Cyr turned serious. The way he'd said her name.... Well, if he was going to get all solemn like this, maybe she should too.
She pulled herself up on an elbow so she could see his face. There was steel in her voice, now. "And if I said no? Would there be anything you would do differently? Because if you are satisfied having companion for drinks and an occasional cuddle, nothing more, then what's the point, really? I'm not the sort to pursue forever." She flopped back, no longer pressing against him. "Would you have any regrets past the loss of a pal at parties? After all, by the end of this week...." She stopped abruptly.
When she continued, her voice was lower, like all emotion had suddenly leaked away. "Well, things will be different, won't they? " Last Edit: Oct 11, 2023 at 1:10am by sneilley Pieluver Website Destroyer Pieluver Avatar Pie IS OFFLINE EST Dec 16, 2023 at 8:46am

The sharp tone of her voice when she next spoke caused something in his chest to twist with unease. She flopped away from him, but the coldness inside him had everything to do with her words.
"Ah," he said faintly, words stuck in his chest. This was not...what he'd expected her to say. Maybe...the way she was in his head didn't really line up to...her at all.
"I..." he started to say, but the words 'pursue forever' were trapped in his throat like a bad pill. He wanted to feel angry, but his tone ended up sounding closer to distress.
"Is that what this is?" He asked, voice soft and unstable. "You wanting to sleep with me?" He swallowed hard. "I...I thought we were friends." God, he sounded so pitiful, even to his own ears. Of course it was like this, wasn't it always like this? He was a lust demon, after all. In the end, what other use could anyone have for him?
"I'm not a toy," he said, the ounce of fierceness that had crawled up with the words causing his voice to crack. "Not yours, not my parents', not anyone's."
His pride prevented his voice from growing anymore pitiful, and he coughed, turning away from the small woman on his bed, looking up at the indistinct ceiling instead. "I don't have anywere down here to hide that wouldn't put someone else in danger for sheltering me," he said, his voice hoarse. "Since there's no longer a place I can consider home." He swallowed, maintaining the polite detachment in his voice. "If it's inconvenient for you, feel free to cease your pursual." sneilley Sass Synthesizer sneilley Avatar IS ONLINE a few seconds ago

Serious, she was sure, coming from Cyr, though a bit funny coming from a Lust. With any other Lust, it would be the other demon concerned about just being used for sex. But Cyr... oh, Cyr. He had to be the worst Lust she'd ever met, and the only one she'd ever cared about.
One short bark of laughter escaped from her lips, but it was hardly jovial. It was almost pained. "Oh, Cyr. I don't just want to sleep with you. I don't just want a toy. I don't even just want a friend." She sighed. "I want more, and I thought you knew me well enough to understand... well, that I want you. No holding back." She sat up, then, facing him and leaning against him as she kneeled on the bed.
"I just keep hitting a wall where I don't expect one. It's like jerking to a stop at the end of a chain shorter than I expected." Her hand flitted up toward her neck, her eyes a bit distant with memory, before she caught herself. A gentle smile twisted her lips as she slipped back to a more comfortable facade. The lack of sleep was getting to her. She needed to keep her composure, to keep her mind on the here and now. Keep that smile on her face, even with Cyr.

"You want a lot of things," Cyr mumbled, sounding more petulant than anything. "And what about when you get what you want? Don't you just move on to the next interesting thing?"
He could hardly make out her face in the dim when he turned his head back to look at her. "I don't like that." He lowered his eyes, so the distant firelight could no longer catch them. "The walls are there for a reason," he said. He swallowed a bit unhappily. "If you didn't run around like you do, they wouldn't catch you by surprise."
"I know you want as much as you can whenever you can," he continued after a bloated silence. "I'm glad you can make that happen for yourself. But I...I never asked to be this way. Why do I have to trade myself for scraps of divided attention? I spent the first half of my life thinking I was like _her_," he said, guesturing across the hall towards Vivian's room. "And you know as well as I do how that is going to end between the two of you."
He felt guilty the moment he said it, but he didn't retract his words. If he was a pride demon, no one would think it weird for him to want to find one person and settle down. But because he was...this...because he had to keep himself alive using the hands of others, then why would he mind indulging every ask for more that came his way?
He looked away again, head down, his body tensed the way a dog might if it expected to be hit. "I just want to be safe," he said in a hoarse whisper. sneilley Sass Synthesizer sneilley Avatar IS ONLINE a few seconds ago

"You don't-" His next words cut her off. He didn’t like that, did he? He thought she would get bored and drop him, that she would just use him. He really didn't understand her, did he? She couldn't bear to keep looking at him. Instead, she looked blankly down at the bed, fidgeting with a lock of her hair. The silence stretched, tension growing, then he continued. His complaints about his Sin weren't unfamiliar to her. They had touched on the subject before, just not this deeply. Then he brought her relationship with Vivian into it. Her eyes flashed with a cold anger as she stared him down, but he didn’t take it back. Not that it mattered if he did. It was too late; now, she knew what he thought.
He looked away, seeming almost grief-stricken. Those last words drained away her anger. She was suddenly very glad he wasn't looking at her. She hadn't realized... and she should have.
There was another silence, everything still and unchanging for a brief eternity.
"I know, Cyr. I...." She sighed. "If you're really planning to hide on earth, don't forget that you'll need as much power as you can manage, however you can get it. You'll need it. Just... promise me you will figure out some way to get the power you'll need, okay?" She slid off the bed, facing away. "Remind me in the morning, and I'll write down some of my contacts for you. Most are human, so they won't be easily traced by your parents."
She looked back, flashing a brief smile that she didn't feel, then began to walk out of the room. "Sleep well." The words felt flat. Last Edit: Oct 14, 2023 at 10:59pm by sneilley Pieluver Website Destroyer Pieluver Avatar Pie IS OFFLINE EST Dec 16, 2023 at 8:46am

1,050 POSTS & 0 LIKES Oct 15, 2023 at 2:08pm Quote Post Options Post by Pieluver on Oct 15, 2023 at 2:08pm Cyr felt like the silence was stuck in his throat, a painful lump. He upset Bez. He knew it. Even though he wasn't looking her direction, he could feel it radiating from her body language. He'd messed up. He didn't have to say things like that, he could have just carefully sidestepped the conversation like he usually did, and let her advance again, and they could keep moving in that careful rhythm they'd established where nothing was too deep or too real or too painful.
The tiredness in her voice when she spoke, the way she sighed, made his insides twist more. He almost wished she'd lash out in return, that would hurt less than the resignation he could feel now. He turned to look at her as she shifted and slid off the bed. The way the bed moved as she stood up made an uneasy feeling rise in his gut. Why was she speaking with such...finality? He knew she was good at hiding her emotions, was she very angry with him? Did she want nothing to do with him anymore?
He knew, based on the conversation they had just had, that what she wanted and what he wanted clearly didn't line up. And it was selfish of him to continue to insist on sticking around her if he wasn't going to give in. But he couldn't lose her. Of all the people he'd met after he fledged, she had treated him with such...kindness wasn't the right word. But her presence had made him feel bolder and more confident with himself after his identity and his expectations for himself had long fallen apart. She was vibrant and bright, she did what she liked without letting anyone get in her way, and she didn't answer to anyone. He was, admittedly, quite envious of that. But he didn't want to fall out of her orbit.
He realized, embarrassed, as he stared after the silhouette of her back in the dark, that at some point as she'd spoken, tears had started streaking down his face.
"Bez," he started to say, but the sound of his own wet, pathetic voice stopped him short. He shouldn't behave this way. Begging her to stay and not hate him would be wrong. Instead, he let out a soft, steadying exhale that did nothing. "Thanks," he said in a small voice.
