Re: Harmonious Adventures: Diplomacy is Magic! (Iammelon/Eteru RP) [Retcon]]

Leonious had forgotten the reason they had gone to the palace, given that he had gotten a rather big distraction by worrying about her death. But now that he was thinking about it again, he chuckled for a bit and then smiled, "You're right, I had forgotten. I still owe you a nice drink and conversation. And I guess we do have some time now, so maybe after we finish up here we can visit a nice little coffee shop on Instabull. A nice quiet place, my treat. That sound good to you?" He found the blush endearing, and wondered if he could a bit more out of her by moving a little closer and putting a hand on her shoulder

Chione looked to Matros, who was looking at the report on his comm unit. After realizing the Anubite was implying that he should explain, he then spoke up, "Ah, right, sources. According to the report here, we're headed to Naris IV, a small city world with a major Omnipo, and now Confederate, presence. So unlike last time the base we'll be breaking into is in a populated area, with a larger garrison force. The base in particular is actually in a Skyscraper too, so that'll be interesting. Thankfully the Skyscraper itself is all Omnipo, so we won't be bursting through apartments, but still gotta be careful not to go too crazy lest we smash up some of the nearby buildings which do have apartment blocks." With his report finished, he turned the conversation back to Chione, who was better suited for handling the next topic.

The Anubite Princess looked to the Sisters, since the Boon was of major interest to her as well, "Good. Finding that boon is important. We are not sure what it is, so it may be an artifact, a person, or perhaps another soul. Anything is possible, and regardless of what it is we must be ready to deal with it. Of course, given the landscape, I'm not exactly sure our Dragon is exactly the best fit..." She looked to Azdergin, who was rather big. The Dragon didn't seem concerned however, just throwing out a wink and not explaining, which didn't ease Chione's worries.

Rezenary, or rather Saifya now, was at first interested in the little spell that had been cast to obscure the listening devices, and so watched the process as it happened. This of course gave Viin-Amr the chance to watch her face transition into extreme embarrassment as she saw the form the disguise had taken on. It was really a wonder by now her fur hadn't just turned red. Still, at least they weren't actual condoms, or at least that's the hope she held onto until the destination came up, "Wa-wait, what? Uhm, I guess it's somewhere we can start planting b-bugs. Oh by the Ancestors... Though I guess with our covers, the Ancestors really wouldn't be watching me now." Regardless of her clear fluster, she was ready to move out.

Walking out into the resort they would get a better idea of the people here. Well groomed and clearly upper class folk walked the streets. Some alone, some with their spouses, and some with people who were almost certainly not their spouses but returning to their rooms anyways. Resort staff were also rushing about, moving from room to room to ensure the drink coolers were constantly restocked, rooms cleaned, beds prepared, and so on. The only staff who weren't in any sense of rush to ensure the patrons didn't get angry at them were the guards. The private security here seemed more bored than anything, or just very much sick of their job. Since these guards pretty much always came from more working class folks, the trifles of the rich quickly grated on them when they had to deal with their annoying requests, demands, and orders. But, all in all, it was easy to get around. Finding an adult-store meant moving into a deeper section of the town, somewhere carefully designed so that kids likely wouldn't randomly wander in, but those who knew what they were looking for could easily follow the signs. And so, they found it, with a glowing neon sign saying "The Cumvenience Store."

Mon Sep 02, 2019 11:22 pm

A smile grew on her lips as she manage to sheepishly turn her head enough to make eye contact with the prince. "Yeah, that does sound nice. I would like that a lot." Her gaze dart away in fluster at the continued decrees in space. Mostly from knowing the Zantine reputation of being productive breeders. The thought had gave way to more unpure thoughts. Menaal was not a prude by any means. More so with the fact that she has not come into exposure of any kind of lewd material. Even though she knew that Leo won't ever press onto her, it did nothing to stop those thoughts from surfacing. After all, Menaal is a virgin.

With the full report out there the sisters nodded in respective understanding. Now all they can do is wait for their arrival. It was a good thing that the question was asked for now they can plan ahead. Ilunaelistianya refreshes herself on smaller sorcery along with her elder sister. The former sister notice her sister giving a smirk to the dragon. While it was curios she had a gut feeling that she did not want to know.

Viin-Amr gave a chuckle at hearing Rezenary statement regarding the Ancestors. "Give me a day and I can contact a few who would be interested." He teases Saifya once more before addressing her other assumption with the wag of a finger. "Ah ah, not precisely my sweet puppy. To make a good cover we must leave a trail that fits our character. What better place to start our digital footprints than a place that the Mesbah's would go to frequently" A smug expression was present on his face before they headed down to the streets below. As they would walk through the streets she would notice that both his posture and way of walking was different. He look so relaxed that no one would ever tell that he carries the weight of the past on his back.

His grin brighten as they came before the store. Pulling his lover through the door he exposure her to the world of the lascivious. Given the setting it was well lit and very clean. it was almost amusing to him at how professional they made it all look to the glass cases that show off different products to mannequins in lewd postures to show off body equipment. Viin-Amr grin harder mostly because he enjoys teasing his partner. Dragging her around they looked at all the goodies. Picking up a shopping bag along the way he pick up a few things while sending bedroom eyes to her direction. Nearing the end of the loop around the door they neared the counter. Nearby was a stand of actual condoms which he pick a box of. Placing it in his shopping bag he lean over to whisper into her ear. "Don't worry we are not using these. They are to add authenticate to the disguised ones. Beside." His voice became much more deeper. "I think we broke you for anything else beside hard and raw." Viin-Amr tease in a husky manner. Giving a kiss on the cheek he heads off to go purchase the stuff he chose. Leaving Rezenary time to linger around a bit to leave a few bugs if she wish.

The smile on the Prince's face grew as Menaal's fluster did, as he confirmed to himself that she looked cute when embarrassed. He of course couldn't know the depth of her unpure thoughts, but he had an idea of what she was thinking based on her embarrassment. He was not by any means experienced in such things himself either, as that was simply a facet of life he hadn't really explored, and he wasn't the sort of person who cared for just short flings unlike some of his siblings. So, he had no intention to force anything, and for now took his hand off Menaal's shoulder, but did try and take her hand so he could hold it as they walked.

As Ilunaelistianya and her sister prepared, the ship was getting closer to Naris IV. The ship had already swapped out its identification card, and so appeared now simply as a merchant freighter coming into the planet for a standard pitstop. At this, Matros got up, moving to one section of the ship and speaking up, "Alright, time for disguises. We don't want to rely on magical disguises, in case Omnipo is looking for them. Thankfully Union Intelligence gave us some disguises in the ship for just such an occasion. Time to use them." With that, he and Chione went to the disguise locker in the side of the ship. Within it were plenty of pieces of standard civilian clothing, some articles of clothing and armor that would suit a mercenary, and finally some stolen uniforms. Chione decided that, since the ship was masquerading as a merchant vessel, she would adopt the look of a wealthy Anubite merchant, an apolitical sort just here to use the war to advance her own profits. Matros went along with the theme, dressing himself in the style of a tech expert for hire, somebody a merchant would hire for their expertise in handling more advanced equipment that they couldn't be bothered to learn for themselves. Azdergin notably abstained from the disguises, keeping where he was and waiting, but notably making sure all the systems on his combat armor were functional.

The location the shuttle had landed at was a standard starport, where civilian crafts landed. Chione checked a map and pointed towards a distant skyscraper, which had a notable and large neon sign reading "OMNI" along the side, "That's our target. We'll move through the marketplace to get close, and then find a way to sneak in. Then, we head for the 39th floor. That's where the base built into the structure is located. Let's get going. Azdergin, keep an eye on the ship." With that, the newly prepared Anubite Merchant walked out of the ship, followed closely by Matros, who looked around in what seemed like nostalgia. As she said, they were aiming to cut through the marketplace, since that fit their cover.

Rezenary was already heavily worried by the concept of getting that much into character while they were walking to their destination, given the crafted story of how Amr and Saifya got themselves banished from the Anubite Empire. Still, she noted his total change in demeanor, and found it impressive. Though she realized it was the mark of experience in adopting a new life, which he must have done countless times before. It worked however, and no guards gave them a second look as they walked, especially once they realized what direction they were headed. They were not paid enough to worry about that. Rezenary-Saifya's embarrassment however returned in full force as they walked through the store and Viin-Amr started to actually pick up items from this less than totally respectable establishment. His whispering caused this to hits its peak, making her freeze up as he walked away. Since, as she realized, that was probably true. Still, she had been adapting, and so recovered from her embarrassment paralysis faster than usual, returning to a more moderate level of embarrassed as she started to wander about the store to plant some bugs. Rezenary-Saifya avoided the gaze of the store's clerk as she faked browsing the items, discretely placing bugs in the corners and center of the store. It was thankful for her that the Ialao at the counter had long since learned that she was not supposed to watch what the customers were looking at, as that only made things incredibly awkward for everywhere. Instead, she read a considerably less explicit magazine until approached. This made the nervous Anubite's life much easier, and by the end of placing the bugs she actually felt fairly confident now that she had done some real agent work! Even if this wasn't exactly the place she'd brag about bugging to friends...

Now walking hand in hand they continue their trek through the forest. As the sun sank away the forest darken with the approaching night. The air becoming more crisp when dusk came. Per his thoughtful and not at all mischievous nature. Discord offer to stop and rest in this open clearing for the night. An canvas tent coming into existence in the middle of the clearing with a snap of his fingers. He noted that the caretaker is only a few more hours away. So if they sleep and wake early they can meet her by noon. Drifting upwards he curl himself on nearby tree branch and promptly went to sleep. Given it was unwise to travel in the forest at night she agreed with taking a rest, When went inside they would find that it's a bit lavish. Fine rug over the dirt floor and two comfy looking beds on two ends of the tent. Both were paired with a small table which a ivory lamp sat on.

With the theme in mind the solar mare took on the appearance of a merchant escort. It was somewhat uncomfortable to bind her wings under the armor. Been a long time since she had to cover them up. Her ethereal mane solidified into a pure pink mane that she then made it into a professional hair bun. Given the danger the wearing too much weapons she opt to just rely on her magic and martial prowess when in a combat scenario. With her disguise settled she would walk with Chione to act as a personal bodyguard. Ilunaelistianya had a easier time in binding her wings under the uniform but made sure her wings did not press against the fabric too much. Her many turn solid as well. Transitioning into a light azure color.Even her coat became lighter, turning into a grayish blue. Pulling it into a ponytail she was finish dressing up. Coming off as a merchant as well of average status. The disguises done the sisters follow the group as they went across the marketplace.

Amr projected a air of youth and casualness as he dealt business with the Ialao clerk. Humorous and a tad facetious as he nonchalantly chat away. Easily coming off as someone very young in their years. With everything purchase he gave a cheeky smile as he bids a good day to the clerk before going over to his lover. "See anything you like love? Don't worry, Ipwet and Tarset have nothing on your looks." He sensually exclaimed as he came up to her with a smile. "So where you want to go after this pup? We could head back to the apartment and get some 'stuff' on before heading out to have fun. Try out one of the beaches so I could give you a nice massage as I slather sun lotion all over you. Or perhaps have a simple walk about to get the jet lag off." He suggests as he put the bag strap over his shoulder. The side of the bag only displayed a lotus flower to thankfully she can be spared of some embarrassment if they walk around with the name of the store on the bag.

Leonious also agreed to curling up for the night, given the distance they had traveled. There was still more to go, and it was better to be rested for that last leg of the journey. He did find it nice of the floating cat to provide them with such nice camping however, so he appreciated that. He moved and got himself into the bed on the left side of the tent, and spoke simply, "Sleep well Menaal. We'll wake early tomorrow, but at least we can sleep comfortably this night, eh? Still, best to keep one of these lamps on, just in case. You can never be too safe out in the wild, after all."

Chione was happy to see the two sisters join in with the theme, as it made them a nice and complete package of four. She was impressed with their abilities to change color too, in order to further fit the disguise, though she supposed that would be rather necessary to actually be disguised. Their rather distinct manes were a bit obvious after all, so it was good they could change those. Regardless, as they passed through the marketplace, they could verify their disguises were working perfectly. The group of four blended in just fine among the many merchants and customers passing through, and nobody gave them a second glance, except a couple who were worried about more competition moving in. It was a vibrant place of many crowds, and all the races of Iammelon could be spotted here, except for Watrike and Dragons of course. Including a fair few Equidae who simply lived on this planet, making it even easier to just be part of the crowd for the two sisters. The path to the OMNI Skyscraper was open, though as they were passing out of the marketplace they would notice two things going on. There was a waiting group of Omnipo officials, simply speaking to eachother, and one accidentally flashed their passkey for the Skyscraper. They were packing up and preparing to go back to work. The other thing happening was further away, in an alley. With keen vision, one could see there was a robbery taking place, with weapons, and it seemed to be getting rather tense, with no police nearby to intercede. The human woman being robbed was seemingly resisting the two thugs, one a female Valorian and the other a human male, and they were getting irritated.

Amr's projection of youth worked to ensure the Ialao clerk saw him as nothing but a young horndog out with his girlfriend, and so she could guess his intended use for the purchased items. She waved him off after the purchase and then went back to her reading. Saifya meanwhile grew more embarrassed as she was asked if she wanted anything, to which the answer was no, but she was afterwords simply flattered by the praise to her looks, and so she gave back a happy if a bit embarrassed smile. She had to admit she was a bit enticed by his offer for the beaches, since inside she really did like the sound of that, but her tactical mind took over here. Saifya thought about it, and delivered her idea of a plan, "Well, we should walk first! Get a better idea of the place and other hotspots it may have, and who may be here. But, uhm, then after that it may be nice to go back to the apartment. And then the beach would be quite nice to visit with you..." Amr did indeed save her a great deal of embarrassment by not openly showing they had been to this establishment, having the items was quite enough for her right now.

After Leonious got into bed a few seconds pass before he felt the bed shift with the sudden weight of another person. Menaal had gotten into his bed with her back facing him. Evidently not feeling like sleeping alone just yet. "Goodnight." Was all she softly said in a small voice before drifting off to sleep.

Ilunaelistianya was the first of the sisters to take note of the robbery. Suppressing the instinct to go stop the robbery. Unlike her sister, she is far more sympathetic with the downtrodden. The victim, the voiceless, the homeless, whatever they may be she watches over them from the shadow. It's how she got her moniker of being the Breaker of Chains over her reign. She started to shift her body before feeling the presence of her sister hand on her shoulder. "I'll handle it." She stated in a gruff mannerism to emulate the air of a grizzled bodyguard. Ilunaelistianya nodded as she figure the group would need her sleight of hand to get that passkey. She watch her sister walk a distance away as she head to the alleyway. Stopping at the entrance her sister call out to the ruffians. "Oi! I'm in a good mood so scatter. Otherwise we can do this the fun way."

"Mmm sounds fun. I would enjoy having a lovely stroll about with you." Speaking in a loving manner he loop his arms around her waist. Pulling her close to his chest to look deeply into her warm eyes. "Because after a few hours we would return to the apartment all sweaty from the sun. And your poor, ample legs would be tired from all the walking. So obviously they need to be tenderly massage for you to be ready for the beach in the evening." Pressing her chest against his hand trail down over her rump and down her outer thigh. Giving it a gentle squeeze he leaned down. Nuzzling his cheek against hers as he spoke very softly and quiet into her ear. "You're doing splendid my sweet pup. Keep doing well, the day is loooong from over." Pulling back he gave her a sweet kiss. Separating himself from his lover he took her hand in a snug embrace. "Shall we." He cocks his head in a savvy manner. A smile clear on his face as he would lead her outside to walk around the resort. All the while keeping a ear out to overhear nearby conversations.

Sun Sep 08, 2019 10:41 pm

It was certainly a surprise for Leonious to suddenly find that he wasn't alone in the bed, but it wasn't unwelcome for Menaal to be there. With her back to him, she wouldn't see that upon realization of her being there he was smiling. For him, it was nice to be trusted enough that she'd seek comfort with him as such, and he was more than happy to oblige. He made sure the blanket covered the both of them, and then went to sleep himself. Though he did hope Discord wouldn't taunt them for this in the morning, although even then Leonious decided this would be a good night all the same.

Chione noticed one of the sisters breaking off to go towards an alley, and while at first she was going to speak up she then noticed what was happening. And she decided not to stop the solar mare's intervention, since the Anubite Princess also was not exactly fond of allowing such things to happen unopposed. Still, since she was handling that, the rest of them could focus on the Omnipo officials. She winked to Ilunaelistianya, and then suddenly moved in front of the batch of corporates. She pulled from her outfit a blue shining gem with a golden trim, and she put on her best salesman voice, "Gentlemen! Before you go, let me try to change your lives for the best! This spirit stone was blessed by the ancient High Lords for luck and prosperity! Its blessings are beyond compare, and this is your chance to give your life a great boost! Watch its power!" She used some of her powers to make it sparkle and change colors, as well as levitate a bit. It was an amusing display meant to get attention, and so provide a distraction for Ilunaelistianya to use to grab that passcard.

Meanwhile, off in the alleyway, Caelistianya's callout got the attention of the thugs. The Valorian, who was pressing their victim up against the wall, gestured for her partner to deal with the intervening self-made hero. The man nodded, and stepped forward towards Caelistianya, sneering, "Not your business, lass. I can see you're probably a mercenary, so if you agree to sod off I'll give you some cash to make leaving worth your while. Not like this snake will give you anything. So, sound good to you?" Despite the thug's words, he clearly wasn't interested in actually giving the Solar mare anything, as one of his hands was drifting inside his jacket. He wasn't a professional, so Caelistianya would easily be able to tell he was reaching for a poorly-concealed pistol. Though, now that she was closer, she could see more about the woman that was being held up. She wasn't any poor woman quite obviously by her rather well-tailored suit that she was wearing. Her hair was wild, but that seemed by choice more than anything. She was clearly relieved however to see that somebody was stepping in, although she was cautious not to make that too obvious to the Valorian holding a knife to her neck.

Saifya got flustered at Amr's affectionate barrage upon her senses and mind, but she did not mind it in truth. As he gazed into her eyes it was easy to see that she In fact, now that she had more experience, she even tried her hand at reciprocating. As they were closed in, she put one around around his shoulder and one around his lower torso, and she returned the kiss. Then, with a smile, she nodded while taking his hand tightly in hers, "Yes, let's go. Uhm, let's get out of this more shady area, I think. Would be nicer to go somewhere the sun is shining more brightly." With that, they could set out.

After leaving the more isolated and empty naughty district, they came out onto the boardwalk that took them along and past the beach. It was a nice little thing to walk along, and gave a good idea of the resort. One could look out onto the beaches, and see the many people enjoying themselves along the shore. Swimming, lounging on the sands, and so on. There were many stores on the boardwalk as well, mostly for food so the beachgoers could have a convenient place to get a bite nearby, but also other stores like one that sold swimwear and another that sold toys for the water. Finally, there was the people. Most of the eavesdropping bore little of note, mostly the rich complaining about services, bragging about their achievements, or discussing what to do for the day with their friends and family. There were some things that were interesting however. One mentioned that a Zantine Royal was on the planet right now, taking a vacation. Another spoke of a great inventor who had made great advancements in the field of teleportation being on the world for some business. And finally, there was talk of a champion of the Grand Royal Valorian Arena being on the planet, with the nickname of "Red Paladin". All three were rumors however, and all three seemed to be taking care to conceal just why they were here as well as their whereabouts.
