[color=#6C2DC7]”Alright, letters were written and sent. Now, I’ll just have to wait for their response,”[/color] Leala said as drew something on the ground, she seemed to be in a good mood; evidenced by her big smile. [color=#6C2DC7]”I probably should summon them somewhere they could have a soft landing at least. That damned rabbit did say that the ones summoned falls from high above the sky.”[/color] She spoke to herself, considering the location for the actual summoning. Looking around, Leala tried to find the perfect landing spot for her summons. After looking for a while she found some bushes which seemed to be soft and strong enough to cushion a hard fall. [color=#6C2DC7]”Well, it’s better than just landing on the plain earth, plus they seemed strong enough to survive a fall like that anyways,”[/color] Leala said as she added more plant material around the bush to soften the landing more. [color=#6C2DC7]”Okay then, time to get started. Any moment later and it’ll be too dark to see.”[/color] As soon as Leala said that, a light started illuminating within the bushes. [color=#6C2DC7]”Oh, it seemed they all accepted it. Perfect!”[/color]

[color=#FC9EEE]”My, my, its gotten so late. I suppose I should set up here,”[/color] Fey said as she began to look around. [color=#FC9EEE]”Oh, my. It seems I can only use these bushes for their landing. Well, they should be fine. I can at least slow down their fall,”[/color] Fey thought as she prepared some things around the bushes. [color=#FC9EEE]”And done. Guess its waiting game now.”[/color] Fey said with a smile.

Near a lake, Kurousagi could be seen panting heavily near the shore. [color=#3B1AE1]”It seems Kurousagi made it before anyone else,”[/color] she said as she looked around. But soon after Kurousagi began to panic again. [color=#3B1AE1]”Wait where are they?! They should have appeared by now. Did Kurousagi arrived too late!”[/color] As Kurousagi dropped on all four believing she had arrived too late. a light began to shine on the lake. Upon seeing this Kurousagi stood up excited. [color=#3B1AE1]”Seems like I got here just on time after all!”[/color]

The room was grey, the small window above the bed was shut and barred. The bed itself was small and hard. Across from it was a desk, empty save from a pink and gold notebook with various girly drawings in it. It wouldn’t be a surprise for anyone who entered it, were this room to be described as a jail cell, in fact for the petite girl with long blonde twin tails who sat in the corner of the room with her head lowered, that was exactly what it was, or at least felt like to her. It was in fact her own room within this madhouse of an orphanage she lived in.

“Mikka, can I come in?” A soft female voice asked from beyond the door, “I brought you dinner.”

Mikka raised her head, her expression was miserable, but quickly pulled herself together and put on a smile for the woman behind the door. Turning the handle without even getting up, Mikka opened the door. The woman entered the room with the tray. She didn’t say anything about the door opening by itself, she knew Mikka well enough by now. Leaving the tray on the desk next to Mikka’s notebook, she turned her head towards Mikka.

“Make sure you eat okay?” she said.

[color=#2ECCFA]“We will,”[/color] Mikka replied, her forced smile still on her face.
As the woman went to leave she caught her leg on the chair that lay under the desk, stumbling into the door head first. Mikka rushed over to where the Woman was as she rubbed her head from the fall.

“Ouch,” she said exasperatedly, “I’m sure I’ve been more clumsy than usual recently.” Mikka made to reply but suddenly stood stock still. Where the woman was rubbing, was a small cut, however, the bleeding was terrible. Slowly Mikka’s look of concern turned into an evil grin.

[color=#FE2E64]“Yes… that was quite clumsy of you,”[/color] Mikka said in a voice completely unlike the one of a few seconds ago, [color=#FE2E64]“Let us come closer, we’ll have a look at that for you,”[/color] she said, her voice laced with menace.

“Mikka?” The woman said in a scared voice, unable to run due to having fallen to the floor.

[color=#FE2E64]“That’s right,”[/color] Mikka said in a mock sweet voice, [color=#FE2E64]“You know… we know what you were thinking before you came into this room,”[/color] Mikka began, her eyes widening, a mad gaze aimed directly at the injured woman, [color=#FE2E64]“We know that you think we would be better off dead,”[/color]

“Mikka!” the woman exclaimed, “That’s not true!”

[color=#FE2E64]“It is true!”[/color] Mikka shouted. As she did a sharp, long knife flew out from under the bed to hover beside Mikka. [color=#FE2E64]“Such a lovely red,”[/color] Mikka said, referring to the blood flowing from the woman’s head, [color=#FE2E64]“It’s such a shame there’s not more of it,”[/color] Mikka whispered into the ear of the woman, having drawn closer and closer as she talked. The knife that appeared to be under Mikka’s control hovered directly above the heart of the woman.

[color=#FE2E64]“Now then,”[/color] Mikka began, [color=#FE2E64]“Where shall we begin. Here?”[/color] she asked as the knife flew up to the woman’s neck, [color=#FE2E64]“Here?”[/color] she continued as it flew to the wrists of the woman, [color=#FE2E64]“Or shall we just end your miserable existence straight away?”[/color] Mikka said as the tip of the dagger dug into the woman’s chest.

“Please… help me…” the woman cried, tears filling her eyes and a look of pure terror on her face. Seeing this Mikka froze again, the knife clattering to the ground.

[color=#BF00FF]“That won’t do!”[/color] Mikka said disapprovingly, in a voice filled with sweetness, again unlike either of those that had come before, [color=#BF00FF]“We should be making people smile!”[/color] Mikka exclaimed, hands on hips pointing at the woman with a beautiful natural smile.

The woman’s eyes widened before running away in pure fear.

[color=#BF00FF] “Awww,” [/color] Mikka said sounding disappointed, [color=#BF00FF] “We didn’t even get to play a game.” [/color]

Mikka sighed, back to her original voice, [color=#2ECCFA]“You two make our life so much harder,”[/color] she said hitting her head lightly. Moving over to where the food had been left for her, she realised how hungry she was. However, food wasn't the only thing on the tray. Left on the side of the tray, next to a steaming bowl of rice, was a letter sealed with wax. Mikka was sure it hadn't been there when the woman came in. Quickly picking up the latter and sitting down, Mikka looked it over. On the reverse was her name. Clearly this letter was indeed meant for her. Breaking the seal she opened the letter.

“This is a letter destined for those of you with both many troubles and extraordinary powers. If you wish to see how far these powers of yours will take you, cast aside your family, your friends, your possessions, and join us in the Miniature Garden.” it read.

[color=#2ECCFA] “This,”[/color] Mikka said sounding shocked.

[color=#FE2E64]“Looks like,”[/color] She continued her voice escaping meanly, an evil smile across her face.

[color=#BF00FF]“Fun!”[/color] She said energetically her smile becoming more natural. Suddenly there was a flash of bright light, consuming the whole room, and Mikka quickly grabbed her notebook and her knife flew into her hands before they were gone.

[color=orange]“Haaaaaaaa…”[/color] A boy sighed deeply as he walked along the streets near his home. [color=orange]“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…”[/color] He sighed again, much louder this time, very dissatisfied with his current situation. The boy’s name is Jonathan Lax, a slender young man with a pale complexion and messy blonde hair. He was known widely as an extremely fortunate person, who held a large amount of money after being able to consistently do well at the local casino. He was so successful there that he was barred from ever returning to that casino. Since no other place seemed to excite him as much as that place did, Jonathan was at a loss about how he should spend his time. He tried playing various sports; he tried playing other card games he collected in local tournaments at card shops, but it didn’t bring him the thrill the casino always gave him.

[color=orange]“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…”[/color] Jonathan sighed a third time. [color=orange]“There really is no place like there. God damn… everything else is so boring now. But I don’t know where else to go…”[/color] He complained to no one in particular. Hardly anyone lived near his grandfather’s house, where he stayed ever since running from home some years ago. Recently, he had met with his parents again, who officially disowned him after learning of how he managed to earn all of his winnings. [color=orange]“Fine… whatever… you guys were awful parents anyways.”[/color] Jonathan thought out loud.

Jonathan took a deep breath and clicked his teeth this time, as he approached his grandfather’s house. It was a small, fairly run down house, but as the place he called home, Jonathan found it comfortable, despite a rather barren atmosphere, with dead grass populating the front lawn, along with massive patches of dried soil. There was usually a pickup truck in the driveway, but it was absent. [color=orange]“I guess Granddad’s out someplace.”[/color]

He immediately made for his room so that he could just collapse on his bed and sleep the rest of the day away. He had a thought; one that he originally thought was a stupid idea: [color=orange]Maybe I’ll try walking through town again at night. I think I can handle even those shady dealers in clubs.[/color] Jonathan would have never considered it before, but after weeks of failing to find any fun to be had, he felt a need to resort to this. He turned his head to the desk of his room. It was the only other object in his room besides the bed and a pile of unwashed laundry stacked up near his door. Something foreign sitting atop of it caught his eye. It was a letter.

Jonathan couldn’t find the address of the sender, nor could he recognize the handwriting. [color=orange]This… is definitely not Granddad… What is this…?[/color] He carefully opened it and read out the contents:

†˜This is a letter destined for those of you with both many troubles and extraordinary powers. If you wish to see how far these powers of yours will take you, cast aside your family, your friends, your possessions, and join us in the Miniature Garden.’

[color=orange]“Huh…”[/color] The letter confused Jonathan. Was this a prank? [color=orange]No, it can’t be… That hourglass that keeps popping up in my head isn’t natural. Is this †˜Miniature Garden’ place filled with people like me? How do they even know about that?[/color] Jonathan contemplated the matter, wondering about the implications of every aspect of the letter. He was very interested in seeing how far his luck would take him, and, while he respects his grandfather greatly, Jonathan was willing to leave this place. He was fed up with this boring world that he had lived in.

The last thought he had involved sorting out what kind of risks responding favorably to this letter could cause him to take. Jonathan simply smiled as he read the letter one last time, and replied, [color=orange]“No gamble, no future.”[/color], the words he has lived his life by.

At that moment, a bright light engulfed him, and the famous †˜Lucky Johnny’ disappeared from the world.

Knock Knock! The beckoning sound echoed into the dark room stirring a pale lad from his slumber, his nose twitching to the smell of a meal. As he woke up he looked around the room to find it once again in shambles. His other form was expressing his feeling towards being locked up. After all the work his parents did to make his cell just like his room, he was more than annoyed. Sliding out of bed he stepped onto the floor feeling pieces of glass crush under his feet, adding a slight sting to every step. As he made his way to the door a plate was placed in the thin opening.

The smell of the food turned Samuel feral, his fangs extending as he approached. Snatching the plate he didn’t waste time looking at it. †˜Raw beef...and fruit.’ he thought as he scarfed it all down, Licking the blood from the beef off his lips, and even off the plate. After his transformations he often was filled with an intense hunger. Ashamed of his behavior he neatly placed the plate back on the opening.

“You must have really been hungry!” said Emery his youngest sister from behind the door. She took the plate examining it for even a trace of food. Samuel had licked the plate completely clean.

“You need to hurry up so you can train with us again. We are going to leave you behind…” said Natalia. The two of them always came to visit him in the mornings. Even though he was tired of letting them see him like this, he still took the time to talk to them.

[color=#9D0A0A]“I will get over this affliction soon,”[/color] answered Samuel. [color=#9D0A0A]“I just need more time.”[/color] The truth was he had made no progress in finding out how to control this other self. If anything it was getting worse.

“You said that last time!” said Emery with a pouty tone. Samuel laughed and stood up walking over to the closet. He struggled to find at least one outfit that wasn’t shredded. He didn’t even care how it looked. Not like anyone was going to see him anyway. As he looked through the clothes an envelope fell out of one of the ripped shirts. Picking it up he tore the top with a sharp nail and began to read it.

[color=#9D0A0A]“What is this?”[/color] he thought out loud.

“This is a letter destined for those of you with both many troubles and extraordinary powers… If you wish to see how far these powers of yours will take you, cast aside your family, your friends, your possessions, and join us in the Miniature Garden...”

[color=#9D0A0A]†˜Miniature Garden?’[/color] he thought as he reached the conclusion of the letter. His first thought was it was some kind of prank that his sisters pulled on him. Playing along he smirked and answered.

[color=#9D0A0A]“Sure why not,”[/color]

A flash of light enveloped him and the light even shined through the slit in the door.

“Samuel what’s going on in there?!” yelled Emery. After no response Natalia undid the locks and charged in. The room was completely empty.

“Dad is not going to be happy…” said Natalia.

Days had past since the day Fio was wanted by The Faction. Her caretakers were right about the bunker being hidden. None of her defences were breached and no alarms were triggered. She spend her time reading weapons and armor engineering books that was in the bunker and practicing her ability by making different close and ranged weapons. She sometime made armor both heavy and light and tried it on. Walked around the bunker with it and did target practice.

The facilities in the bunker was amazing. It has 4 bedrooms with individual bathrooms, a kitchen, an armory, a control room, and the hidden entrance that is covered by thick vegetation.

[color=#660000]Weird, no one is coming. Including my caretakers. Did the faction give up and they let my caretakers free? I’d better not take any chances.[/color] Fio thought as she walked to the control room where she stayed since the monitors for the cameras are there. She observed the monitors as she ate a pack of rations nearby.

After eating, she stood back up and decided to take a shower. Suddenly, a loud explosion can be heard from somewhere in the bunker. [color=#660000]Oh no, they’ve found me already?![/color] Fio thought as she quickly dried her body and put on her black clothes. She ran to the control room checked the monitors. Many men were entering from the entrance. She opened her eyepatch again and created a metal wall right in front of the men. [color=#660000]What to do, what to do![/color] She thought as she looked at the men drilling through the metal wall that she created using her powers. The men drilled in and put explosions in the hole that they created. They easily blew up the wall that Fio created and marched in deeper. Fio’s electric bullets had no effects on them either.

Without thinking she ran in to one of the bedrooms and looked around. A letter was on one of the pillows of the bed. [color=#660000]That wasn’t there, was it?[/color] Fio wondered as she quickly took the letter.

“Come out with your hands up or we will shoot you!” someone shouted from the other side of the hallway. [color=#660000]Oh no, they’re here![/color] Fio opened her eyepatch again and created multiple layers of metal walls between her and the faction. She put her eyepatch back and opened the letter.

†˜This is a letter destined for those of you with both many troubles and extraordinary powers. If you wish to see how far these powers of yours will take you, cast aside your family, your friends, your possessions, and join us in the Miniature Garden.’

[color=#660000]What the hell? Does that mean that I’ll disappear from this place? I’ll do anything to run away from these people![/color] Just as she thought that, a bright light engulfed her. Erasing her existence from the world.

By the time the faction arrived at her room, she was already gone.

A bulb flickered on, casting the dingy room in yellow light. Trash littered the floor and the air was musty, the place not having been cleaned in some time. A hooded young man stepped in through the single door, dropping his backpack onto a clean spot and pulling out a chair to sit down, one of only three pieces of furniture in the room.

He was taking deep breaths, having just made a narrow escape from his latest pranks victims, though he was absolutely sure they wouldn’t find him here. Even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to touch a single hair on him. Pulling a pen and worn notebook out from his backpack. On the cover, “Stefan Maxwell” was written and pages flipped by as the young man turned to the last page, scribbling his latest findings from the successful experiment.

Stefan placed the book back in his backpack once has finished, leaning back in his chair. The wood squeaked, protesting against the treatment. He ignored the minute waves it triggered, instead putting on some music, the tunes generating soothing waves that relaxed his being. It came to a screeching halt as he heard the skittering of insects, in particular, cockroaches.

Stefan snapped his fingers in disdain and instantly the skittering stopped. [color=green]“Damn pests.”[/color] He muttered before rising, scanning if there were more before beginning to clean up the dirty room. Day in, day out in this hideaway and he never actually bothered to keep it tidy.

He mulled over his life as he cleaned, Stefan’s body going through routine as he went about sweeping and clearing rubbish. Pranking and testing wasn’t the best way to go about learning how to use his power, many people shying away from him out of fear or dislike. The minor few who did know his true intent, Stefan made sure that they would never spill. He’d rather this treatment rather than accidentally causing irreparable damage.

Still, it was lonely at time and he always tried to make life more fun for himself and those he considered close friends. Preoccupied as he was, Stefan didn’t notice the letter on his dusty cot until he finished cleaning, eager to rest now that the room was tidier and that the trash was placed in garbage bags.

[color=green]“The heck is this?”[/color] Stefan plucked the letter, a little alarmed that someone had been able to find his hideout. He hadn’t even told his parents or close friends about the place, thus it held equal amounts of interest and suspicion. Whoever had sent it must’ve been good enough to tail him. [color=green]“Classy,”[/color] He remarked as he broke the wax seal, peering at the words in the dim lighting.

†˜This is a letter destined for those of you with both many troubles and extraordinary powers. If you wish to see how far these powers of yours will take you, cast aside your family, your friends, your possessions, and join us in the Miniature Garden.’

Stefan raised an eyebrow, unsure if the sender was taking him for a ride. They would need a better naming sense with one like Miniature Garden, that’s for sure but the line that caught his attention most had been the first. It was common knowledge that he had powers but so far, had not known of any others. Stefan snagged his backpack with notebook within, pondering.

It would definitely be interesting if there were other users, not just surrounded by mundanes. Maybe there, he would find a niche to carve out. It’s not as if he had much to lose by going there. The letter seemed to register his assent and a blinding light engulfed him, the hideout empty once again.

*Riiiiinnngggg!!!* The clock’s alarm rang echoed throughout the room. An hand rose up and hung mid air, motionless as though trying to draw suspense to a invisible crowd before very suddenly speeding towards the noisy machine, bent on smashing it to piece. Yet, at the very last moment it stopped it’s earthwards descend and very gently,pressing the button to stop the alarm.

The individual smiled for his weird sense of accomplishment.

However, as how the action of “waking up” is usually accompanied with, what greeted his low hung eyes was not the morning sun but a beautiful full moon instead. Ted gazed at it for a moment before once more dramatically jumping off his bed, the action accompanied by an insane amount of somersaults, skills that’ll throw an olympic medalist to shame before landing perfectly with a fabulous pose, Arms crossed above his head with his legs mirroring it below.

...Stark naked, on a pile on nails.

[color=blue]“MMMMMM~” [/color]Ted’s spine shivered in accordance to the “bliss” he felt, “I learnt something new today.” he said to himself, a line of drool escaping the corner of his mouth as he did.

“Good morning master.” A monotone voice greeted Ted.

[color=blue]“Yo~ Pati. What a great way to start a day don’t you think?” [/color]Ted replied, posing as he did to showcase his muscles without a single bit of embarrassment.

“Indeed. Perhaps next time you should complete the dive d*ck first. I guarantee new sensations is to be found master.” Pati replied coldly, already preparing to roll in the breakfast trolley as she turned about, the wind catching the skirt of her maid outfit as it swished gracefully.

[color=blue]“SPLENDID IDEA! You could be the Da Vinci of our era no doubt! Now, hesitated not! NOW! shower me with those spears of lo-gurrr….”[/color] Ted’s words fell a second short as he felt multiple projectiles ram through him. Spears, how very ironic.

He shivered again, a smile curling along with it, achieving a sigh from his maid.

[color=blue]“Mmmm~ Breakfast will have to wait ok?” [/color]Ted said with bloodstain lips as he turned to the ruined wall, the light of the fullmoon greeted him in full view along with the night’s gentle breeze caressing his entirety. “Very well.” was all Pati replied as she bowed, already registering that she was already alone in the devastated room, she gripped the corners of her dress tightly in silence.

…

[color=blue]“Good evening good ol’ chaps~”[/color]Ted said cheerfully. His smile was full of radiance and the pose that accompanied with it boarded to the level close of mockery. The spears that imbedded in him added to it even more so, though the lack of blood coming from the wound had the smarter culprits more fixed on that fact.

[color=blue]“Hmm? No replies? Despite such a welcoming gift?” Ted gestured to the spears, even pulling one out from him for greater emphasis,”Oh yea! How rude of me! I TOTALLY forgotten to introduce myself. How rude of me, such carelessness! I deserve so much punishment from this simple error of basic manners...maybe Pati will do so for meyessheprobablywillphthejoyhuehuehuehue...”[/color] he trailed off to a babble of nonsense. The air however, very literally died the instant he spoke.

[color=blue]“My name is Tod Aufhocker. Heir to the Aufhocker throne and self branded homicide. Survivors of my ruined clan, i bid you welcome to my humble exile. Now that you’ve witnessed me. Do not expect to enjoy the next moon’s rise.”[/color]

…

A letter fell from the heavens with a lazy pace of a feather. It’s slow journey ended in a puddle of blood, soaking up and dyed by it’s color for a while before Ted finally picked it up. He torn it, with more force than he had intended before reading it’s contents.

†˜This is a letter destined for those of you with both many troubles and extraordinary powers. If you wish to see how far these powers of yours will take you, cast aside your family, your friends, your possessions, and join us in the Miniature Garden.’

For long seconds Ted was silent and motionless before breaking to a small sad laugh as he allowed the paper to be dropped and drench to the life fluids of the slain.

[color=blue]“...I really wanted to eat your breakfast Pati.”[/color]He said to himself as the light took him away. Naked.

The sun rose, shining onto a house adjacent to a forest on the horizon, Camerin lied in bed. As he rose from his slumber, he found a stray shoe-- a heel, likely from his one-night-stand. He sniffed the shoe, remembering the woman’s feminine scent.

[color=#E4D488]"Heh-heh, that’s a keeper.”[/color] He chuckled to himself holding the heel to his chest, riving in the memories of that night.

He rose from his bed putting his robe on, the blue cotton fabric gave him warmth as he made himself a cup of coffee. Holding the mug in his a hand a great pain had befallen him, it was as if something was burning him- he darted his eyes towards his hand and saw a liquid dripping from it- water it seemed, as if he was melting. Reeling in pain he dropped the mug, a large shattering sound was made as the mug broke and spilled coffee everywhere.

[color=#E4D488]“Shit...”[/color] He grumbled. Camerin’s new gift did indeed change some aspects of his life; evidently he has yet to control it.

He moved to the countertop to look for a rag, but all he found was a mysterious letter, his ears perked up in anticipation.[color=#E4D488]“Hmm? What’s this?"[/color] He said sniffing the letter making sure if it’s scent matched the woman’s. Whomever sent Camerin this letter must be very interested in him. He smirked, tearing open the letter.

It reads: †˜This is a letter destined for those of you with both many troubles and extraordinary powers. If you wish to see how far these powers of yours will take you, cast aside your family, your friends, your possessions, and join us in the Miniature Garden."

[color=#E4D488]“Miniature Garden, eh?”[/color] Camerin wasn’t sure whether this was some prank from one of the neighborhood boys but his curiosity and need for fun overwhelmed him. He smiled widely at the letter. Interesting...very interesting! Camerin thought. A white light suddenly engulfed him, leaving the house void and empty.

(This is a Joint post between: [color=#3b1ae1]Katsucha[/color], [color=#87afc7]Cinia Pacifica[/color], [color=green]Nooby2[/color], and [color=#9d0a0a]Thelonegentleman[/color]

There was a loud splash of water. Three figures slumped awkwardly in the lake. After a bright flash of light; three came falling down from the sky. This was the result of opening a letter that mysteriously appeared to certain individuals. Two males and a female in this case. More specifically; to a human, a vampire, and a faerie. Neither of them may have taken the letter’s invitation seriously, but accepted nonetheless. And there they were, drenched in water as a result.

As Samuel dove deep into the water he looked around for a second noticing two other bodies that fell in the lake with him. As they struggled to swim to the surface he followed suit. Reaching the top Samuel looked around before making his way to the edge of the lake.

Stefan flailed in the war, totally unprepared for the drastic change in environment. Swimming to shore, he pulled himself free of the water, immediately checking on his notebook to find it drenched. Letting out a groan, he shoved the waterlogged book back into the equally waterlogged bag, but not before emptying it of all the liquid. Slinging it over his shoulder, he shook his wet clothes in dismay, now noticing the other two figures who had joined him in the impromptu skydive.

To the side laid Claire – the faerie clad in a deep green dress full of layers of petticoat, now drapped to her slender form. Her hat was the only thing not wet. She flapped her transparent light-green wings repeatedly to get the droplets of water off of it, then shook her head rapidly, and breathed deeply; catching her breath. It was way too sudden, even if she was used to swimming.

[color=#87afc7]“What’s the big deal with this prank?! My clothes are ruined you know!”[/color] Claire shouted to the apparent prankster. She took the invitation half-seriously. On one side, she thought it was a joke. On the other side, she was curious and wanted to escape her village.

Jumping out of the water he shook his head to free his hair of water. Being pretty much naked he would just have to let his skin air dry. Luckily for him it was sunset, and his bare skin was spared from the searing power of the sun. Stretching he looked around at the forest around the lake.

Claire looked around, she could hardly see the other two properly due to the water that snuck into her eyelids, but she clearly identified two other figures that fell to the lake with her. One seemed to be… lacking in proper attire? It can’t be! Who’d be almost naked at a time like this here?! It was the fault of the lake, and the one who caused this! She wondered if the water was even clean. The light of the sunset veiled its true color. [color=#87afc7]Wait, the sunset?[/color] Claire thought, as she then looked towards the horizon. Finding a magnificent sight. [color=#87afc7]So beautiful![/color]

[color=#9d0a0a]“Pardon me miss!” [/color]yelled Samuel over to the faerie. [color=#9d0a0a]“Do you have any idea where we are!?”[/color]

[color=#87afc7]“No idea,”[/color] Claire said, standing up straight and dusting her dress. There weren’t really dusts or crumbs of dirt on it, but she did so anyway. [color=#87afc7]“I’m assuming you two came here after opening that letter, too?”[/color]

Too busy gawking at the faerie, her wings were appropriately distracting, Stefan was a bit delayed in his answer, trademark grin appearing on his face once he did. [color=green]”Yeah, one moment I was in my room and…”[/color] He indicated the world around him, confused. [color=green]”Whoever did this has a bad sense of humor.”[/color] Stefan remarked grumpily, still pissed about his notebook.

[color=#9d0a0a]“So I guess I can’t blame my sisters for this one…”[/color] answered Samuel. [color=#9d0a0a]“Wish whoever did this could have waited till I was dressed.”[/color] Not that Samuel had anything to be ashamed of. His training kept his body in perfect shape, but he wished he could have at least brought more than his black boxers. [color=#9d0a0a]“We’ll I saw a town not to far off. Shall we head to it?”[/color]

Stefan blanched at Samuels appearance, averting his eyes to prevent anymore scarring. [color=green]“I’d have to agree with you.”[/color] Whoever responsible for this mess was going to be chewed out for the state of his own clothes anyway.

After hearing the loud splash in the water of the three people she had summon Kurousagi had hidden herself behind some bushes. She wanted to see how they would behave and if they were people she could trust a bit before approaching them. “Seems Kurousagi will have her chance to make her grand entrance soon.”

[color=#87afc7]“I think I know but… let’s confirm the lame joker, shall we?”[/color] Claire said, her body lit up with a lime bright light. It glowed just enough to illuminate the bushes, trees and greenery around the three. Claire then turned to look towards a blue pair of ears that peeked out from the bushes…

[color=#3b1ae1]“Ehh! How did she know I was here. Now I missed my chance for my grand entrance! Guess I have no choice now.”[/color] Kurosagi said as she slowly stood up and took a peek. [color=#3b1ae1]“Kurousagi is impressed you managed to detect her.”[/color]

[color=#87afc7]“Well yeah, it’s not like that was hard,”[/color] Claire mumbled in response. Her ears were clearly peeking out for them to see after she lit herself up.

(This is a Joint post between: [color=#3b1ae1]Katsucha[/color], [color=#87afc7]Cinia Pacifica[/color], [color=green]Nooby2[/color], and [color=#9d0a0a]Thelonegentleman[/color].)

[color=#9d0a0a]“Are you the one who brought us here?”[/color] asked Samuel walking closer to her.

[color=#3b1ae1]“Yes! I Kuro…Kyaaah! W-why are you practically naked!”[/color] Kurousagi screamed as her face turned red and she looked away.

Stefan chuckled at the display, though was more mesmerized by her rabbit ears. Oh, how badly he wanted to touch them and find out if they were real. The faerie girl, she had been interesting with the light show but this… denizen had been waiting for them.

[color=#9d0a0a]“Hey you don’t have time to be shy, you brought me here. You deal with it.”[/color] he answered crossing his arms and looking at her sternly.

[color=#87afc7]“Uwah! Disgusting, I didn’t even realize that he was almost stark naked!”[/color] Claire exclaimed after looking at the man to the side – who barely wore anything, she even edged away with light and nimble steps from him. Claire’s green light slowly dimmed and shut off as she looked away immediately. [color=#87afc7]“A-Anyway…”[/color] Claire begun, her face now awfully ruined with an evident pout. [color=#87afc7]“Where are we right now?”[/color]

His curiosity getting the better of him, Stefan walked over before the others could react, muffling his footsteps. He grabbed Kurousagi’s ears lightly, running his hands over the soft fur. It sure felt real, the different contours pleasing to the touch.

[color=#3b1ae1]“Gyaaaah! W-what are you doing to Kurousagi’s ears you meanie?! You just don’t go up to me like that and grab them!”[/color]

Claire – just as curious – walked up to the rabbit-eared girl, too. Standing beside the person who touched the pair of ears, it seemed as though they’d be nice to the touch. Who’d not join in on the fun? Claire too, stroked her ears. [color=#87afc7]“Let me get a feel of these mysterious things too,”[/color] she said, stroking them. [color=#87afc7]“Mnm, they’re indeed nice!”[/color]

[color=#3b1ae1]“Gyaaaah! Not you too!”[/color] Kurousagi continued to struggle as she tried to escape her now two captors.

[color=green]“Aren’t they?” Stefan remarked, stroking the ears with more vigor. “Your ears are remarkable.”[/color]

[color=#3b1ae1]“This now goes beyond being mean! This is nothing but harassment! How could you do this to Kurousagi’s beautiful ears!”[/color] Kurousagi said as she was finally able to free herself from her captors.

Stefan raised his hands nonchalantly, [color=green]“Like what you said, usagi-chan. Your ears are beautiful, so beautiful that my hands couldn’t resist touching them. The rest of me just followed their lead.”[/color] He grinned mischievously at her.

[color=#87afc7]“Instead of gawking about this; why not start explaining things already?”[/color] Claire asked, somewhat frustrated to be put off from the real topic. Of course, she retracted her hands at the outburst of the blue rabbit-eared girl.. However… she was to be ignored apparently.

[color=#3b1ae1]“I can’t believe this!”[/color]

Sneaking up behind her he placed two hands on her petite shoulders, and with a gentle nip he bit one of her ears. The sensation on his lips was just as the others said. Soft, and even a bit relaxing. He found himself spacing out before long.

Kurousagi stayed stilled the sudden nip on her ear left her frozen in shocked. [color=#3b1ae1]“Gyaaaaaahhhh! What to you think you’re doing!”[/color] Kurousagi screamed louder than before as she turned around pushing the boy away. She then went on all fours with a gloom expression on her face. [color=#3b1ae1]“To think I summoned problem children like them! What did Kurousagi do to deserve this!”[/color]

Stefan bopped her on the head with the soggy notebook trying to catch her attention the book making a wet splat as it connected with her head. [color=green]“So you were our summoner? Why couldn’t you have summoned us to a place that maybe, just maybe, didn’t have a gigantic lake? And to think we’re supposed to be the problem children.”[/color] Letting loose a sigh filled with mock dismay, Stefan shook his head slowly.

[color=#87afc7]“I’m more curious about how she can summon us in the first place. Summoning magic is an old legend in my village!”[/color] Claire exclaimed. [color=#87afc7]“And back to my old question… where are we right now, exactly?”[/color]

[color=#3b1ae1]“Right. I’ll answer all your questions,”[/color] Kurousagi said as tears could be seen forming on her eyes. She then stood up straight and took a deep breath. [color=#3b1ae1]“Welcome, to Miniature Garden everyone!”[/color] her face now recovered; she said as she gave a spin spreading her arms wide open.

[color=#87afc7]“Miniature Garden… what’s that? A small garden we’re in?”[/color] Claire looked to the lake that lied two or so meters behind her. A lake in a †˜miniature’ garden? What? She wondered. This sounded so strange and awkward.

[color=#3b1ae1]“Miniature Garden is where we hold Gift Games. We have decided to give you three the opportunity to participate in our Gift Games,”[/color] Kurousagi said as she jumped in the air with one of her hands up in the air she then gave a full spin and pointed at Claire, Stefan and Samuel.

[color=#87afc7]“A small garden… with a lake as big as that?”[/color] Claire then took a moment to ponder again, almost ignoring the rabbit-eared girl. [color=#87afc7]“So you hold these †˜Gift Games’ in a little garden? ...What are Gift Games, anyways? ”[/color]

[color=green]”It should just be a name, judging by how vast this place is.”[/color] Stefan shoved his hands in his pocket, the action accompanied with a wet squelch, making him wince. [color=green]”Whatever, we’re here now anyway.”[/color] He dismissed, still a bit sour over his notebook.

[color=#87afc7]“...That’s one ironic name then,”[/color] Claire commented, remembering the vague scenery she witnessed as she fell to the lake earlier. The world they arrived it was definitely vast, and there seemed like a city was closeby, too. Which would be a real treat to her. Either way, this seemed like good opportunity; she could finally say goodbye to her old village.

[color=green]”So Kurousagi, is there a town nearby?”[/color] At this point, Stefan was more interested in getting to someplace warm than listen to how he had gotten here, especially out of his soggy attire.

Kurousagi's ear’s bent from the lack of interest by Samuel and Stefan, [color=#3b1ae1]“Is only the Faerie interested about Gift Games?”[/color]

[color=#9d0a0a]“As much as I am interested in all this, I am more worried about being outside. Without clothes no less.” answered Samuel. “Perhaps we can talk about this in a less public place. Like in a room with just the three of us?”[/color] said Samuel ignoring Stefan in his calculations as he looked over the two ladies. [color=#9d0a0a]“At least the no clothes part would make more sense.”[/color]

[color=#3b1ae1]“Don’t you mean four of us?”[/color] Kurousagi asked a bit confused.

[color=#87afc7]“Well, I’m interested only because everything has been boring recently. Who’d not want to play games, anyways?”[/color] Claire responded with a question.

[color=#3b1ae1]“Well why don’t we have little game ourselves? But before that I shall explain how Gift Games work.”[/color] Kurousagi said still feeling disappointed in the lack of interest from the other two. [color=#3b1ae1]“Gift Games are a series of competitions where you use your Gift to participate and try to win fabulous prizes. Of course to take place in this Gift Games you must put up something as a bet. Gift Games can vary from each host from a simple card game to a life threatening game.”[/color]

Stefan looked at Kurousagi with a somewhat predatory expression, [color=green]”A game you say?”[/color]

[color=#9d0a0a]“But the only thing I have on me is…”[/color] Samuel looked down at his last stitch of clothing.

Claire ignored the perverted man by averting her eyes away, albeit with a tint of blush in her
cheeks. [color=#87afc7]“S-So anyway, are there any specifications with the chips? Like, do we bet out Gifts, or something?”[/color]

[color=#3b1ae1]““Your chips can range from Gifts, money, land, resources, prestige and people not just your own Gift. The higher the value of the chips you bet the greater the reward you can get will be if your victorious! Easy right!? But there is a catch you must be able to complete the conditions set by the host to be able to win their game only then can you claim your price.”[/color]

[color=#87afc7]“Wait… I understand the chips ranging from money, land, resources, and that it can include our Gifts too but… how does prestige work?”[/color] Claire asked, tilting her head, apparently puzzled.

[color=#3b1ae1]“If you bet your prestige, you’re giving up your pride and confidence. What had made you well-known in the past will be lost if you lose in the Gift Game.”[/color]

[color=#9d0a0a]“Sounds dangerous, but I’m sure gaining someone else’s prestige could be handy. A nobody could become well-known from one game,”[/color] added Samuel.

[color=#3b1ae1]“You can but at your current state I believe that wouldn’t be possible.”[/color]

[color=green]“Can’t blame a guy for trying. Does your prestige include your bad publicity as well? Meaning, that your infamy would be taken away from you?”[/color] Stefan quipped, intrigued by the other you could bet something as intangible as this.

[color=#87afc7]“I suppose you can get their pride and confidence, but it’d take time to become well-known,”[/color] Claire added after Kurousagi. [color=#87afc7]“About that part you said. About how the host sets the rules… just to confirm; is there a way to negotiate, or is it absolute that the host prepares the rules? Like, don’t the other side have any particular say in it?”[/color] Claire curiously asked, not quite familiar with such games, even from her hometown where all she did was playing games. They were childish games, however. So Claire was lacking in basic knowledge quite a bit.

[color=#3b1ae1]“Unless the conditions set by the host are impossible to win against there is no way to negotiate the rules.”[/color] Kurousagi then looked towards Stefan [color=#3b1ae1]“Yes! You can bet that as well but I really doubt anyone would accept. Anymore questions?”[/color]

[color=#87afc7]“I suppose it’s up to the other side to accept it to begin with… so it’s fair in its own way,”[/color] Claire said, as if to add a conclusion. [color=#87afc7]“I think I understand this, somewhat. Not too clearly, though. But it sounds fun!”[/color]

[color=#3b1ae1]“Then, how about we have a little game? You should have a better understanding on how a Gift game works if you play one,”[/color] Kurousagi said as she made a deck of cards appeared. [color=#3b1ae1]“Before we start though, I should let you know, that in this world everyone is required to be a part of community. Rather, to be more precise, it’d be almost impossible to live properly if you aren’t a part of one. I don’t mind letting you guys be part of the community I’m from, but if you guys can’t even win a Gift game it would just drag everyone else down in our community. You guys would just be draining resources, basically you guys would be nothing but trouble. We can’t have that now can we?”[/color] Kurousagi said with a smirk on her face. [color=#3b1ae1]What am I saying!? What if they decide to leave![/color] Kurousagi thought to herself.

[color=green]“Alright, let’s play then, hunny bunny.”[/color] Snapping his fingers again, Stefan looked around the area, wondering why his pings weren’t providing anything for him.

[color=#87afc7]“Cards… are those real cards?!”[/color] Claire exclaimed, looking intently at the cards Kurousagi held. [color=blue]“I’ve only heard of them in the city of humans I’ve been to once. This is the first time I’m actually seeing them!”[/color] She said, excitedly. [color=#87afc7]“So how does this particular game work?”[/color] Claire asked ecstatically. [color=#87afc7]“I don’t quite care about a community though… I mean, that village I was in was full of meanies.”[/color]

[color=green]”I could say the same for mine I guess,”[/color] added Stefan nonchalantly, leaning closer for a better look. [color=green]”Cards. Oh well, not like I mind. Blackjack, poker? Show me what you got, Kurousagi.”[/color]

[color=#9d0a0a]“I’d rather not talk about home, and this community is probably better off without me...”[/color] answered Samuel looking at Stefan and the others. [color=#9d0a0a]“I have played cards a few times, however. What game will we be playing?”[/color]

(This is a Joint post between: [color=#3b1ae1]Katsucha[/color], [color=#87afc7]Cinia Pacifica[/color], [color=green]Nooby2[/color], and [color=#9d0a0a]Thelonegentleman[/color]

Kurousagi was rather surprised at their reactions. She was expecting different reactions from them. [color=#3b1ae1]“Well, like I said it’d be impossible to live on your own if you’re not in a community because you mostly make money here from Gift Games if you’re not a merchant. Unless you guys rather be sent back to your world.”[/color]

[color=green]“I’ll bet there are other communities that are around, no? We don’t necessarily have to join your community, because if your way of showing hospitality to potential newcomers is to dump them in a lake and threaten them, well… yeah. But whatever, you’ve got a nice game prepared so let’s roll.”[/color] Stefan chided the rabbit girl for being unabashed, though he wasn’t really bothered by her threats. There would be some other way around but it would have to wait.

[color=#87afc7]“Even if I can’t get into your community; I can be content living in a forest such as this… I guess,”[/color] Claire said, slightly upset apparently. While she isn’t so fond of living in a †˜community’ which, the word reminded her of her own village; she definitely wanted to live in the city, and experience it more. If she is deemed useless by Kurousagi; then she probably wouldn’t be needed by others, either. Only conclusion she can come to, is living alone.

[color=#3b1ae1]What am I even doing! I’m not suppose to get them mad and those two seem serious about going off on their own!![/color] Kurousagi began sweating as she stresses the worst possible scenario; not sure how to respond.

[color=#9d0a0a]“How about this. If you beat me in this game. I will join this little community of yours.”[/color] replied Samuel. [color=#9d0a0a]“If I win, I’ll take you as my prize.”[/color] Samuel grinned wide as he looked across at Kurousagi.

[color=#87afc7]“I’ll just play along… I’ve only read the rules before; I haven’t played it at all,”[/color] Claire said, not too confident. She was still excited, however. A game was a game, nonetheless. It had been a while since she took part in one. To think she’d take part in a magical game next; it was truly something to look forward to.

[color=#3b1ae1]“Kurousagi cannot accept that.”[/color] Kurousagi said as she backed away a bit.

[color=green]“Then what’s your wager? This is taking too long for a simple card game.”[/color] The water was getting to Stefan, a slight chill setting in. The bunny was running out of his good graces and fast.

[color=#3b1ae1]“How about the loser listen to one command from the winner? Nothing l-lewd though.”[/color]

[color=green]”Fair enough, I’m game.”[/color]

[color=#9d0a0a]“Eh? I guess,”[/color] answered Samuel his hopes a bit dampened. Still there were many was around her rule. It would just take more time.

[color=#87afc7]“Sounds fun to me.”[/color]

[color=#3b1ae1]“Very well then. The game is rather simple.”[/color] Kurousagi said as she snapped her fingers a table suddenly appeared landing in front of Kurousagi. [color=#3b1ae1]“From this deck of cards each of you have to pick one card and find it, but you only get one chance.”[/color]

Stefan nodded, more perplexed by how the table had magically appeared than in what she was saying. How she managed to pull these things from somewhere, he had to find out.

[color=#87afc7]“Let’s see… so you make us pick a card from that deck. Then we look at it, give it back, and let you reshuffle before we think it †˜find’ it out?”[/color] Claire asked, as if to confirm what seemed rather obvious. Was it because she was slightly nervous due to taking part in a game such as this? Perhaps. She wondered what kind of a magic Kurousagi used to bring forth a table out of the blue like that. So mysterious.

[color=#3b1ae1]“Yes! Oh just to let you know I Kurousagi have the ability of Judge Master, so you can’t break the rules when I’m around. My eyes and ears are directly connected to Miniature Garden Network so I’ll know right away if you cheated.”[/color]

[color=#87afc7]“I’m not a cheater though!”[/color] Claire declared with pride, reminding herself of how she always played by the rules back home.

[color=#9d0a0a]“This game doesn’t have a very high win rate I assume,”[/color] grumbled Samuel after to listening to the game. The game only had a 1/52 chance of victory if he was understanding the ruled correctly.

[color=green]”It’s always more exciting if you pull off a win when the odds aren’t in your favor, no?”[/color] Stefan inspected the cards Kurousagi had brought out, trying to discern something, anything.

[color=#3b1ae1]“Then, do we have an agreement on the game?”[/color]

Claire gave an enthusiastic nod, [color=#87afc7]“Gotcha,”[/color] then looked to the other two for their response.

[color=green]”Yup.”[/color] Stefan smirked confidently, tilting his head to one side.

[color=#9d0a0a]“Let’s get started,”[/color] answered Samuel.

[color=#3b1ae1]“Very well then the game has been established.”[/color] As soon as Kurousagi finished her sentence, a geass roll appeared in front of Claire, Stefan and Samuel. [color=#3b1ae1]“Please read it carefully.”[/color]

Gift Game Name: Scouting

Player List:
Claire
Stefan
Samuel

Winning Conditions: Select a face card from the cards laid out. To win, the card must be the one you had picked before the cards were laid down.

Defeat Conditions: Players fail to meet the above winning conditions, or surrender.

Pledge: We will respect the rules above, and with reverence we pledge to engage in this Gift Game under the instruction of our Host Master.

Claire read the geass roll gingerly. She was mystified by this Gift Game – how the table and the roll appeared was very intriguing. [color=#87afc7]“I see, then I’d like to draw a card now.”[/color]

Stefan nodded after reading through the roll, already thinking of how to identify his selected card. Mumbling a quick [color=green]”Sounds too easy…”[/color], he went back to thinking.

Samuel gave the roll a quick scan. [color=#9d0a0a]“I think I got the gist of it, ready to draw.”[/color] answered Samuel crossing his arms. This world had some interesting magic going on. Mostly what he was taught was combative and modification magic. Creation magic like this never interested him.

[color=#3b1ae1]“Here you go. Draw your card, then show it to me, okay?”[/color] Kurousagi happily said.

Reaching out to the deck he took it and gave it a quick shuffle before he took out the ace of hearts, and showed it to Kurousagi.

Claire then took the deck from Samuel’s hand, and drew a card. It was the queen of diamonds. She then showed the card to Kurousagi, then re-shuffled the deck before handing it over to Stefan.

Stefan took it with a soft [color=green]“Thanks.”[/color], pulling out the king of clubs and showing it to Kurousagi. Inserting it back into the deck, he handed it back to her.

[color=#3b1ae1]“Then, let’s start the game!”[/color] Kurousagi declared, then spread out the cards in a straight line over the table. The three were to pick a card from there. If they’d receive the same card they picked earlier; they’d win. Otherwise, picking the wrong card would be their loss. Kurousagi looked at the three participants with a pursed lip anxiously; staying silent.

[color=#87afc7]“So who’s going first?”[/color] Claire asked, looking at the two.

[color=green]”I will, if you don’t mind.”[/color] Closing his eyes, Stefan ran his hands over the deck of cards, searching for the one he had tagged earlier. The faint rustling was all he needed and his hand came to a stop above one that he was sure was his. Smirking, he pulled it out and handed it to Kurousagi, eyes now filled with glee.

Kurousagi was surprised to see Stefan had picked up the correct card she didn’t think it be possible for them to do it. [color=#3b1ae1]“Stefan has passed.”[/color] The smirk remained on Stefan’s face as he looked down as his chosen card. [color=green]”This felt too easy…”[/color]

Claire then stepped up, [color=#87afc7]“My turn!”[/color] she exclaimed. Her hand then moved from left to right; navigating over the cards. [color=#87afc7]“Mnm, my little cardy card, where~ are~ you~?”[/color] She looked down at the blue cards with glee, finally picking a card that lied far to the right. She then showed Kurousagi the card, before looking at it herself. [color=#87afc7]“Here you go!”[/color] She said.

[color=#3b1ae1]“Eeehh, You too? Did I pick an easy game?”[/color] Kurosagi was surprised that Claire got the correct card as well. [color=#3b1ae1]“Claire has passed. All that’s left is Samuel.”[/color]

Claire grinned innocently at the mark of victory, and jumped up and down a few times before calming down. She then planned what to make Kurousagi do, as she stepped back for Samuel to have a go at the game. In reality, Claire stained one of her drawn card with a bit of water from her Gift. A clever trick employed to effectively mark said card so that she could draw it regardless of its location in the table.

Samuel stepped up to the table, holding his hands over the cards he swiftly flipped up the center card. [color=#9d0a0a]“Luck be a lady tonight,”[/color] said Samuel hoping he chose the right card.

[color=#3b1ae1]“Sorry, but that is not the card you had picked. Which means the only ones to pass were Claire and Stefan,”[/color] Kurousagi said as she picked up the cards.

[color=#9d0a0a]“Dang, guess that’s the way things go,”[/color] said Samuel with a smirk. He had ways of getting what he needed, but he owed her a favor. Hopefully it wouldn’t prove to be too taxing. [color=#9d0a0a]“You two must have some pretty good luck.”[/color]

Stefan shrugged, not wanting to say much yet. [color=green]”It’s about how you play it. Can we get moving, please?”[/color]

[color=#87afc7]“Well, we make one command to you now, right?”[/color] Claire asked, facing Kurousagi, with a face of glee.

[color=#3b1ae1]“Yes. Except for Samuel who lost the challenge.”[/color]

[color=#9d0a0a]“Well I suppose I am at your mercy rabbit,”[/color] said Samuel. He was ok with either result since there wasn’t much else to go on at the moment. He would just have to see how the situation played out with his other two †˜companions’.

[color=#87afc7]“I want you to let me play with your bunny ears whenever I want~!”[/color] Claire demanded with an overly cheerful tone, almost about to leap off for said blue ears.

[color=#3b1ae1]“K-Kurousagi cannot allow that! My ears are not for playing!”[/color] Kurousagi said as she tried covering her ear’s remembering what they had done earlier.

[color=#87afc7]“Huh? That’s not right!”[/color] Claire retorted, pouting. [color=#87afc7]“You said †˜no lewd commands’. This isn’t lewd!”[/color] She persisted.

[color=green]”Then check with the Miniature Garden network or something. What’s lewd to you… Well, I’d say Claire is the victor so it’s on her terms now. I don’t think she’s in it for the “lewdness”, I’d just have asked to grope you otherwise.”[/color] Stefan backed Claire up in her argument, also quite eager to see how far the system would let him go.

[color=#3b1ae1]“That’s not how the system works! Kurousagi’s ears are also very sensitive that what you guys plan on doing can be consider lewd!”[/color]

[color=#87afc7]“That’s so unfair! You’re a liar! I was taught to hate liars!”[/color] Claire said, apparently irritated, throwing tantrums like a child would. [color=#87afc7]“Either your ears are mine, or I’m not gonna join that community of yours, or whatever you call it!”[/color]

Upon hearing this, Kurousagi went on all fours. She didn’t expect this kind of command from them, especially from Claire. [color=#3b1ae1]“F-fine...but you can only touch them while we are at our headquarters!”[/color] Kurousagi said, feeling defeated.

[color=green]”I’ll decide on mine later, be prepared Usagi-chan.”[/color] Stefan said somewhat sinisterly, winking at Claire.

Claire raised her thumb finger up to Stefan secretly when Kurousagi was still slumped on all four, with a large grin. She then changed that expression to the cheerful and innocent smile as she apparently celebrated with her arms thrown up to the air, [color=#87afc7]“yaaay! Now we’re talking!”[/color]

[color=#3b1ae1]“Oh, that’s right. Samuel shall do take my place for the favor Stefan might have!”[/color] Kurousagi said remembering she could ask one command of Samuel.

[color=green]“Nope. Not happening. Don’t be a sore loser about it, Usagi-chan. Why are you trying to weasel your way out of something that you started?”[/color] Stefan said, voice filled with disappointment. [color=green]”So much for Judge Master…”[/color] He added quietly.

[color=#3b1ae1]“Kurousagi did nothing wrong! Samuel lost fair and square! I’m have my rights also.”[/color]

[color=#87afc7]“That doesn’t make sense. Why is it all fair only in your case?”[/color] Claire, sensing the unfair treatment, decided to aid Stefan. [color=#87afc7]“You even said †˜only headquarters’ changing my wish slightly, but it’s alright in your case to just say anything? Please abide by your own rules properly.”[/color]

Stefan sighed, [color=green]“I quote †˜How about the loser listen to one command from the winner’. You are the loser to me, getting Samuel to listen to you is within your rights. Getting him to take your place is not fair to me. That would mean, I get nothing from you, the loser. Besides, if I asked for something lewd, wouldn’t it invalidate both our commands…?”[/color]

[color=#3b1ae1]“Ugh fine as long as is nothing lewd,”[/color] Kurousagi said as she again when on all fours in defeat. [color=#3b1ae1]“Why did I get stuck with such problematic children,”[/color] tears could be seen coming from Kurousagi as she began getting up again.

[color=green]“Being a “problem” is subjective. Treat us nicely and we won’t be.”[/color] Stefan said, extending his hand to Kurousagi. It’s not as if he wanted to antagonize her, but playing along with her game had been most entertaining. Kurousagi reached out to Stefan hand as she was getting up.

[color=#87afc7]“Well, with that done, let’s get going, these wet clothes will soon be getting to those two,”[/color] Claire said, looking at Stefan and then… to Samuel… [color=#87afc7]“Nevermind, to him,”[/color] she said, looking at Stefan while intentionally facing away from Samuel due to embarrassment; her cheeks turning rosy pink for a moment. She almost forgot that Samuel was practically naked.

[color=#3b1ae1]“Follow me please, will be heading to my community headquarters now.”[/color] Kurousagi said still feeling completely defeated from what Stefan and Claire had said.

Stefan nodded, propping his still soggy backpack up and looked at his two other companions, eager to get out of his attire and get a hot bath.

Claire followed after Kurousagi while humming happily. She’d love to get changed and have a nice long bath. She loved water, after all. She was also looking forward to wearing a new attire.

Kurousagi lead the trio back to her community home. After a hour they had arrived at their destination they passed a giant stone gate once inside they could see a single path leading to mansion. As they walked they notice the land on the right was farmland and they could see different plants being grown. The land on their right seem to be mostly a field and playground could be seen. As they reached the mansion they notice two smaller building on the opposites sides of the mansion. [color=#3b1ae1]“I’ll show you guys where the baths are and once you’re done. I’ll show you each to your rooms.”[/color] Kurousagi said as she open the door.

This is a joint post between Katsucha, BlinkXPoke, and Ezlare.

Leaves scatter everywhere due to a sudden crash that just happened. Two people lay on top of the bushes, one boy, and the other; a girl. Leala approached the two. The two saw how she came with a big smile on her face. [color=#6c2dc7]“I really did it! I was able to summon them,”[/color] she said, apparently congratulating herself.

[color=orange]“Agh…! Owowowow…”[/color] Johnny experienced a softer landing than he expected from a fall as high as he was, but it would’ve taken more than good luck to allow him to survive it. While the bushes were fairly soft, some branches dug into his skin. [color=orange]“Man… was this deliberate…? Ow…”[/color] He climbed out of the bush and checked his surroundings. [color=orange]“So, is this Miniature Garden…?”[/color] There didn’t seem to be much around him. Just forests and bushes akin to the one he just fell in. It was dark out, too. [color=orange]Is it already night time?[/color] When he replied to the letter, it should have been afternoon. To his side, he saw a young blonde girl climbing out of the bushes, as well. Then, he finally noticed a short girl in front of him, with strange features. Johnny didn’t see her until he looked down. [color=orange]Are those dog ears?[/color] Johnny wondered while tilting his head.

Reisys was surprised. She believed the letter was a prank, sent by a kidnapper. Though, she believed it’d be fun to play along due to her boredom. [color=#f8e7d3]“Where exactly am I?”[/color] Reisys asked as she looked around, and noticed a boy next to her, then noticed a girl – an odd-looking one, at that – approaching them. The smile on the girl annoyed her, but the ears and tail on the girl caught her attention. [color=#f8e7d3]“Hey you boy, help me get off!”[/color]

[color=orange]“Huh?”[/color] Johnny turned his attention to the blonde girl. [color=orange]“Wait, you can’t get out…?”[/color] he said with a slight chuckle. [color=orange]“Here, take my hand,”[/color] he said while reaching out to her.

[color=#f8e7d3]“Ku ku ku... Don’t underestimate me, boy! I could easily get myself out, but why should I when there’s someone who can do it for me.”[/color] Reisys said as she took his hand.

[color=orange]“Boy? You look younger than me… Well, whatever.”[/color] Johnny shrugged off the blonde girl’s strange manner of speech and pulled her up, out of the bush. He inquired of the girl, wanting to confirm a suspicion he had: [color=orange]“Hey, did you get that letter, too?”[/color] Maybe this girl was brought here under similar circumstances, Johnny thought.

[color=#f8e7d3]“Yes, I probably received the same later you did. I take it the sender was this girl who stand in front of us.”[/color] Reisys replied as she glared at Leala. Johnny did the same.

[color=#6c2dc7]“Hey, you both don’t have to glare at me like that!! You’re the ones who accepted the letter!”[/color] Leala said as she felt intimidated by their sudden glares towards her.

[color=orange]“Ah, so it was you, then.”[/color] Johnny responded with emphasis to the strange girl in front of him. The dog ears and tail still struck him as strange. [color=orange]“How’d this little girl manage to send us here, though?”[/color] He asked, glancing back at the blonde haired girl for a moment. [color=orange]“And, what’s with these ears, too?”[/color] He asked the girl in front of him as he casually grabbed one of her ears with two of his fingers and rubbed it. It was an interesting sensation, as it felt genuine, as if he was rubbing the ears of an actual dog. It felt warm and furry.

[color=#6c2dc7]“Kyaaaa! W-what are you doing!”[/color] Leala’s face suddenly turned a bright red. [color=#6c2dc7]“M-my ears aren’t for touching like that, you know!”[/color] Leala said, but her tail began wagging rapidly.

Johnny continued to stroke the girl’s ears as he observed her tail wagging. [color=orange]“Geez, you really are like a dog.”[/color] He turned his head and told the blonde girl, [color=orange]“Who would’ve thought? Animal people live here! Miniature Garden is already shaping up to be an interesting place!”[/color] He had a grin on his face as he finally let go of the smaller girl’s ears.

There was something Johnny forgot to ask, that he should have earlier. He faced the blonde girl and asked her bluntly, [color=orange]“Hey, what’s your name?”[/color] He mentally guessed that she was European, but he couldn’t be sure of anything after touching the dog girl’s ears, and the strange world he was transported to. [color=orange]She could be some royal person in another strange universe of some kind… As if![/color] Johnny smirked at that thought. He wasn’t sure what to expect in Miniature Garden.

[color=#f8e7d3]“Ku ku ku… Curious of who I am I see very well then I’m the mighty Reisys VII Felicity. Who might you be boy?”[/color] As Reisys asked Leala got close to Johnny quickly.

[color=#6c2dc7]“Y-you idiot!! How could you do something so embarrassing like that to me!!”[/color] Leala screamed in anger as she punched Johnny’s stomach.

Immediately, Johnny felt the impact of the little girl’s punch and bent over, grabbing the spot he was hit, and gasped for air for a moment. [color=orange]“Gah… Why’d you do that… I was just curious…”[/color] He groaned. [color=orange]“Who are you anyways, little girl…?”[/color] Judging by her presence when Johnny and the blonde girl landed, she must have been the one to call them over. He wondered what her role in this was.

[color=#6c2dc7]“L-little girl?! H-how dare you call me little!! I’m fifteen years old you know!! Do you want to die!”[/color] Leala had become furious.

[color=#f8e7d3]“My, you sure don’t know how to treat a young lady, do you, boy?”[/color] Reisys simply said.

[color=orange]“Fifteen years old, huh?”[/color] Johnny repeated, while scanning Leala’s body slowly. She was cute, but quite short, and somewhat… lacking, as he expressed with an eyebrow raise, staring for a short while at her chest, then shaking his head. [color=orange]“Quite disappointing, honestly…”[/color] he commented under his breath.

[color=orange]“Anyways…”[/color] he turned back to the girl named Reisys. [color=orange]“†˜The Mighty Reisys VII Felicity’, eh? Well, to answer your question from earlier, my name is Jonathan Lax. Just call me Johnny.”[/color] He was about to reach out his hand to offer a handshake, but he had an ominous feeling. He glanced at the dog girl again, and she was already in the process of trying to hit him again.

[color=#6c2dc7]“H-how dare you make fun of my chest!! Y-you damn pervert!!”[/color] Leala quickly went up to Johnny again a sudden flash could be seen coming from her hand as she aimed her punch at Johnny stomach again.

Johnny’s body reacted quickly enough to the sight of Leala’s fist to avoid it just in the nick of time. He could feel the wind behind it still, which frightened him. [color=orange]“Whoa! Man, she’s a feisty one…”[/color] He nearly shuddered thinking about what may have happened if that hit connected.

[color=#f8e7d3]“You really need to pay attention where you look boy.”[/color] Reisys said as she approached Leala. [color=#f8e7d3]“Young miss, I can’t really speak for the boy, but please forgive his manners. We would just like to know where we are and why we were brought here.”[/color] Reisys said as she tried to calm Leala a bit.

[color=orange]“Tch, these rich types, man…”[/color] Johnny complained as he crossed his arms. He understood he wasn’t exactly in a position to complain, but he did it anyways. He let Reisys handle the situation with the dog girl.

[color=#6c2dc7]“Fine! But if he insults me again, he’s dead! I don’t care if I need his help!”[/color] Leala responded angrily. Leala took some deep breaths before speaking again. [color=#6c2dc7]“Welcome to Miniature Garden. My name is Leala I’m the one who summon you thre...huh? Wait, wasn’t there a third person with you guys?[/color]

[color=#f8e7d3]“No. It was just me and that boy. Maybe the third person didn’t accept your invitation.”[/color]

[color=orange]“It was just us. The only other people around were you two.”[/color] Johnny pointed at Reisys and Leala.

[color=#6c2dc7]“No way… I was certain they would have accepted the invitation from what I saw…”[/color] Leala suddenly went down on all fours disappointed that she was only able to summon two people to help her community.

Her sad, puppy-dog-like look was kind of endearing to Johnny. Leala now seemed exactly like a dog to him, now. He couldn’t resist wanting to pet her, and rubbed her head gently, thinking of what to say to maybe comfort her. [color=orange]“It’s fine, isn’t it? Reisys here looks tough, and you got me! †˜Lucky Johnny’! I’m sure we’re more than enough!”[/color] Johnny boasted confidently as he patted her head and grinned.

Leala looked up her eyes were all teary [color=#6c2dc7]“Do you really think so? Katsumi is gonna be disappointed in me, though... I promised her I would bring her three new members.”[/color] Leala said as tears began falling.

Johnny’s heart skipped a beat. He had to avert his eyes to gather himself, but returned to his original expression. [color=orange]Geez, don’t look at me like that… How’d this little girl get me all flustered like this…?[/color] He asked Leala, [color=orange]“What did you bring us here for, anyways? That letter is more than just an invitation for us to play here at Miniature Garden, isn’t it?”[/color] It was an honest question. Judging by Leala’s behaviour, there was more to his and Reisys’ summoning than just the promise of expanding their powers.

With her eyes still teary Leala tried speaking properly [color=#6c2dc7]“We invited you two to have a chance and play for our community in Gift Games.”[/color]

[color=orange]“Gift games?”[/color] Johnny inquired. He could guess what she meant by †˜community’, but he wasn’t exactly sure what connection that had to the †˜Gift Games’ Leala mentioned. All the while, he continued patting her head.

Reisys went up to Johnny and then whisper into his ear, [color=#f8e7d3]“Hey, boy, you think that’s a good idea? I take it she doesn’t mind now, but once she’s calmed down, she’ll probably be angry at you again.”[/color] Reisys as she then stepped back [color=#f8e7d3]“So, young miss, what exactly are these Gift Games?”[/color]

Johnny shrugged his shoulders as a response to Reisys. It was definitely risky touching the little girl, given her violent tendencies, but he simply couldn’t resist the temptation. Again, he admits that Leala is pretty cute. Also, Johnny wanted to perhaps make up for the bad first impression he left. He’d rather not get beaten up every time they meet.

A flash of light formed in the sky and with it came one last individual. Camerin didn't know whether to be dumbfounded or amazed at the sight of a large city from this height, or to dismiss that he was even falling in the first place. Was he dreaming? One would think that to witness such a mystifying sight.

As ground came into sight he thought he was dead, although a stray bush seemed to cushion his fall to remedy for the pain in his ass. The bush was rough and dingy but Camerin welcomed it. He sat legs crossed on top of the bush and to his surprise he saw a large garden before him.

[color=#E4D488]"So much for being able able to land on my feet..."[/color] Camerin said to himself still feeling the sting of the fall. He heard chatter off the coast- were there people who got the same invitation as he did? There were an array of questions going through his head, perhaps he could have them answered by whomever is there.

[color=#f8e7d3]“Oh my it seems another boy has come to joined us.”[/color] Reisys said as she gave a glance at the boy who had just fallen.

[color=orange]“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand here comes the third…”[/color] Johnny commented, somewhat sarcastically as he traced the newcomer’s journey down. He continued to stroke Leala’s head as he did so. [color=orange]“So nice of you to join us!”[/color] Johnny continued with his sarcastic tone toward the new person while the newcomer started walking towards them. [color=orange]“I assume you got the letter, too!?”[/color] He needed to yell a bit in order to make sure his voice reached the newcomer.

[color=#E4D488]"Indeed I did."[/color] Yelled Camerin scraping excess leaves from from his from his hair and clothes. So he was correct it seems, other people were 'invited' to this...event. As mysterious as it came off Camerin is still eager for fun, he thought he could play along for for while. [color=#E4D488]"So, who might you be?"[/color][/color] He asked.

As the newcomer came closer, Johnny noted that the guy’s ears and tail were those of a cat. [color=orange]Geez, another animal person!? Will there really be many of these in Miniature Garden…?[/color] Johnny’s hand inadvertently moved towards Leala’s ears again and began rubbing them gently as he sized up the newcomer.

[color=#E4D488]"Uhh, hello~?"[/color] Camerin waved his hand in front of of the boy's eyes and noticed quickly that he was playing with the girl's ears, she seemed to be a Kemonomimi as well only much smaller. [color=#E4D488]"Splendid, an airhead and a toddler."[/color] He thought to himself.

[color=#f8e7d3]“Hey, second boy, it’s rude to ignore others you know,”[/color] Reisys said as she noticed the boy didn’t even looked to where she was.

Coming back to her senses Leala looked up, thinking she had heard another person’s voice. A smile could be seen on her face [color=#6c2dc7]“Ha, I knew I could summon three people!”[/color] Leala said happily. [color=#6c2dc7]“Welcome to Miniature Garden. I’m Leala, and these two are Johnny and Reisys.”[/color]

Leala’s sudden change in mood amused Johnny. [color=orange]“Hehe, feeling better already, huh? Well, you got all of us. Good for you, I guess…”[/color] He told Leala with a smirk. [color=orange]“So, who are you, cat man?”[/color] Johnny asked the newcomer bluntly.

Camerin’s eyebrows furrowed at the comment. He could've thought of many different names as creative as his. [color=#E4D488]"Camerin Mathers,"[/color][/color] he said simply, looking down at Leala. [color=#E4D488]"So I see you take joy in fondling animal ears."[/color][/color] he said jokingly to Johnny.

[color=#f8e7d3]“Ku ku ku… So, second boy, you think you can just ignore me like that!?”[/color] Reisys said as she approached Camerin. Both her eyes then began to shine a bright dark red.[color=#f8e7d3]“Ignore me like that again, and you’ll regret it, boy.”[/color]

Johnny’s eyes widened seeing Reisys in this state. [color=orange]“Geez, girl, that’s scary! Please calm down!”[/color] He pleaded of her. [color=orange]Man, is this her power…? What the hell is she!?[/color] Johnny informed the newcomer, [color=orange]“Uhh… You better acknowledge her… She looks pretty serious!”[/color] with some urgency in his voice.

Camerin’s eyes darted towards a blonde haired girl dressed in lolita attire, he looked her outfit over and thought it was rather inappropriate for a girl of her stature, nevertheless it was in good taste.

[color=#E4D488]"C-Cute..."[/color][/color] he said aloud, though he found himself quivering at the sight, at this point he probably got a bad impression out of her.

[color=#6c2dc7]“Anyways, Reisys, I’m sorry for his behaviour, I don’t think he meant it,”[/color] Leala said as she got in Reisys’ way as she tried reaching towards Camerin again. [color=#6c2dc7]This damned cat boy sure doesn’t learn does he?[/color] Leala thought. [color=#6c2dc7]“Well, let me start all over from my explanation about the Gifts Games. I believe you guys want to learn more about it no?”[/color]

Camerin smirked, [color=#E4D488]"Well of course, that's why we're here I assume?"[/color][/color]

[color=orange]“Let’s hear it, Leala.”[/color]

[color=#6c2dc7]“Gift Games are events held by a Host Master. Participating in them allows you a chance to win fabulous prizes,”[/color] Leala explained as she starting walking forward. [color=#6c2dc7]“The games held may range from a simple lottery, to a life threatening game, but because of that; there are endless possibilities on the types of games.”[/color] Leala said as she stretched her hands wide open her tail could be seen waving happily as she continued explaining. [color=#6c2dc7]“Of course you can only participate in these Gift Games if you’re a part of a community but, worry not. This is the reason I have summoned you. I, the great Leala, am giving you the opportunity to join my community.”[/color]

Johnny smirked as Leala explained it. [color=orange]Wow, she’s really getting into this… Miniature Garden must be one hell of a place![/color] He was especially bemused by Leala calling herself †˜great’, with such enthusiasm. [color=orange]“Is that so? How about a game, then? I wanna see how these Gift Games work.”[/color] This was half because he wanted a better understanding of the Gift Games and whether they were truly worth his time, and half because he wanted to see Leala’s reaction.

[color=#E4D488]Finally, some fun! I was starting to get bored,[/color][/color] Camerin nodded in agreement. The way Leala explained interested him even more. [color=#E4D488]"Go easy on us though!"[/color][/color]

[color=#fcff2e]“This seems interesting, so I shall partake as well,”[/color] Reisys said as she seemed to have calmed down now.

[color=#6c2dc7]“Very well then, but since this is your first time, we’ll play a simple game so you guys can understand how a Gift Game works. First off, why don’t we just play roulette. I know it seems boring, but its should be easy to understand how a Gift Game may go.”[/color]

A large grin came across Johnny’s face. He was excited to hear the word †˜roulette’. [color=orange]“All right! This is my kinda game!”[/color] He yelled excitedly, pumping his fist in delight. He dearly missed the casino. Having another chance at it is more than he could ask for.

[color=#f8e7d3]“Roulette? What type of game is that?”[/color] Reisys asked confused as she have never heard of such game.

[color=orange]“You’ve never heard of it? It’s really easy. We bet on numbers laid out on a table, then a number is randomly selected. Then, if your number comes up, you’ll be rewarded several times what you bet. You can even bet on certain groups of numbers to increase your odds, but reduce your winnings. If I had a table, I’d show you, but…”[/color] Johnny trailed off while he was trying to explain. In his excitement, he had spoken at a very quick pace. However, without a reference point to assist his explanation, Johnny wasn’t sure if Reisys understood properly.

[color=#6c2dc7]“Let me help you with your explanation then,”[/color] Leala happily said as she snapped her fingers. Suddenly, a roulette table popped up from the air in front of them, and fell down to the ground abruptly. [color=#6c2dc7]“We’ll be using this. Of course, we won’t be using money, seeing as you three don’t have your own. Instead, whoever gets their winning number right wins. Of course theres a catch,”[/color] Leala said with smirk.

[color=orange]“Whoa! How did she do that…?”[/color] Johnny mumbled as he circled around the table that appeared from nowhere. [color=orange]“Haha, wow, it’s authentic…”[/color] He commented while gently rubbing the edge of it. [color=orange]“So, what’s this catch, Leala?”[/color] Johnny asked while leaning slightly on the table and staring directly at her.

[color=#E4D488]"Energetic about gambling, eh?"[/color][/color] Commented Camerin, though he himself is surprised by Leala’s powers, he was doing a much better job at hiding it however.

[color=#6c2dc7]“There shall be three rounds. Once you win two rounds, though, you guys win. But if you fail to win the round, you guys shall pay a penalty by getting hit by me,”[/color] Leala stated.

[color=#E4D488]"J-Just hold on!"[/color][/color] Camerin butted in. [color=#E4D488]"We don't get a say in this!?"[/color][/color]

Johnny cringed at the thought of being hit by Leala again. She doesn’t hold back. However, he wasn’t going to back down from this challenge.

This is a joint post featuring Katsucha, BlinkXPoke, and Ezlare.

[color=#6c2dc7]“You could always deny it and just go home if you want. But for the ones who accept and win, I’ll listen to any one command you give me. B-but it can’t be a lewd command!”[/color]

[color=orange]“Hehe, well, damn…”[/color] Johnny sarcastically feigned disappointment. [color=orange]“I guess I’ll have to think of something else.”[/color]

Camerin then snapped back into place, whatever he heard was the complete opposite of what Leala just said, which would explain why his expression was much more chiseled than before.

"Alright, let's go~!" He cheers gripping the sides of the table in excitement.

[color=#f8e7d3]“So, this is Roulette... I believe I understand the boy’s explanation now by looking at the table. Very well then. We should get started.”[/color]

[color=#6c2dc7]“Alright, let’s begin, you guys are allowed to pick up to three numbers so pick wisely. If you haven’t noticed, this is a smaller roulette so it only has twenty numbers”[/color] Leala said as she approached the roulette. Once closer to the roulette, a geass roll appeared in front of Reisys, Johnny and Camerin. [color=#6c2dc7]“Please make sure to read that carefully.”[/color]

[color=orange]“Interesting…”[/color] Johnny murmured as he read the Geass Roll that appeared in front of him. [color=orange]“I’ll go with six, eighteen, and four.”[/color]

[color=#f8e7d3]“I see. Well, I shall take numbers five, thirteen and fifteen,”[/color] Reisys said after reading the geass roll.

[color=#E4D488]"Okay then, give me nineteen, two, and ten,"[/color] Responded Camerin.

[color=#6c2dc7]“Very well, then. Let’s begin,”[/color] Leala said as she raised her right arm into the air happily. She then spun the roulette. [color=#6c2dc7]“And, the first number it landed on is one. Too bad. None of you got it. But, now, you have two more chances before the first round is over,”[/color] Leala said with a smirk before she spun the roulette again.

The roulette came to a stop again. [color=#6c2dc7]“Tch, it landed on nineteen, meaning Camerin is safe this round. Well then, Johnny and Reisys, you each have one more chance this round! I hope you two are ready.”[/color]

Leala spun the roulette again soon after it came to a stop. [color=#6c2dc7]“To think two of you would have won this round. It landed on fifteen so Reisys is safe. Now then, Johnny, I hope you’re ready,”[/color] Leala said with smile.

Johnny slumped his shoulders. [color=orange]“Damnit…”[/color] He had chosen his birth month, and his and his grandfather’s birthdays as numbers. They usually had proven lucky for him. [color=orange]“You can’t win †˜em all…”[/color] He told himself, trying to console himself. [color=orange]“It’s just one game in a large sample size…”[/color] He added, sighing deeply. Johnny had to accept his fate, though. The smile on Leala’s face was ominous, though. [color=orange]“Bring it on, Leala!”[/color] He shouted, bracing himself.

[color=#6c2dc7]“I hope I don’t have to carry you back”[/color] Leala said as she then quickly punched Johnny on the stomach.

[color=orange]“Ugh…”[/color] Johnny grunted as Leala made impact. However, it didn’t hurt nearly as much as the previous time. He wasn’t exactly sure whether Leala was holding back, or if being prepared for the punch made a difference. [color=orange]Why would Leala hold back against me, though? She didn’t last time.[/color] He chalked it up toward his preparation. [color=orange]“Heh, that wasn’t so bad…”[/color] Johnny mumbled as he rubbed the area where the punch landed. [color=orange]“So, tell me, Leala… Are there more games like this? I came here looking for fun here in Miniature Garden.”[/color]

[color=#6c2dc7]“Of course, and each one with their own twist. Now, please pick three new numbers for round two; this isn’t over yet.”[/color]

[color=orange]“Cool, I’ll be looking forward to it. Maybe I’ll get to gamble with something other than my physical well-being,”[/color] Johnny responded with a chuckle. [color=orange]“I’ll stick with the same numbers as last time.”[/color]

[color=#f8e7d3]“Ku ku ku.. hey boy didn’t you say earlier you were lucky?”[/color] Reisys said as she gave a small chuckle. [color=#f8e7d3]“I’ll take five, fourteen and eight.”[/color]

[color=orange]“Hey, it’s not like I can manipulate fate or anything…”[/color] Johnny retorted. [color=orange]“I guess Lady Luck is being a cruel mistress today.”[/color]

[color=#E4D488]"I never was a gambler but this is pretty nifty, I can understand why people get addicted to this."[/color] Camerin said, [color=#E4D488]"I guess I'll play it safe and keep the same numbers as well."[/color]

[color=#6c2dc7]“Alright, let round two begin!”[/color] Leala shouted happily as she began spinning the roulette.[color=#6c2dc7] “Round and round the wheel goes where it stops you never know,”[/color] Leala sang as she waited for the roulette to finish spinning. [color=#6c2dc7]“The first lucky number this round is seventeen”[/color] Leala said as her tail could be seen wagging happily.

[color=#f8e7d3]She sure is enjoying herself,[/color] Reisys thought, but disappointed none of her numbers came up.

[color=orange]“Having fun over there?”[/color] Johnny asked Leala with a chuckle. [color=orange]She’s so much like a dog… It’s cute, if not very odd.[/color] Afterward, he stared at the spinner, saying, [color=orange]“Alright, let’s see some more numbers! Gotta win at least one of these…”[/color] while rubbing his hands together in anticipation. He was still a bit on edge after losing the first round. Johnny can handle a few losses, he understood luck can’t sway everything every time, but he felt his pride on the line in this game for some reason.

[color=#6c2dc7]“Looks like none of you win the first spin”[/color] Leala said happily, she then spinned the wheel again, [color=#6c2dc7]“I hope you guys are praying for your numbers to appear,”[/color] she said as the wheel came to another stop. [color=#6c2dc7]“This stop, the lucky number is eighteen. Tch, guess Johnny is lucky this time,”[/color] Leala said with slight dissapointment. [color=#6c2dc7]“Well, onto the last spin for this round,”[/color] Leala said happily.

[color=orange]“Hell yeah!”[/color] Johnny cheered at his victory.

[color=#6c2dc7]“Now then, the last lucky number for this round is fourteen,”[/color] Leala announced. [color=#6c2dc7]“So Reisys wins this round as well and since she also won the first round she has cleared the conditions of the Gift Game. Now then, for the loser of this round, punishment~”[/color] Leala said as she approached Camerin.

[color=orange]“Your turn, buddy~”[/color] Johnny informed Camerin mockingly. [color=orange]“You’ve got lives to spare, right, cat man?”[/color] He was just glad he wouldn’t be hit a third time by Leala.

[color=#E4D488]"You're funny, kid."[/color] Camerin rebuked. [color=#E4D488]"J-Just get it over with, please..."[/color] Camerin hoped that thing about cats having nine lives worked on cat men as well.

[color=#6c2dc7]“Here I go,”[/color] Leala said as she punched Camerin in the stomach.

Camerin hunched over holding his gut, gasping for air after each word he spat out. A stray tear fell down his cheek in response to the hit. [color=#E4D488]"This...isn't...funny...at all..."[/color]

[color=orange]“Yeah… that one looked like it hurt…”[/color] Johnny bit his lip as he saw Camerin in such a state. [color=orange]“Goddamn… I better win the next one… She’s definitely not holding back!”[/color] He walked next to Camerin and rubbed his back. [color=orange]“You alright, man? Got enough in ya for one more?”[/color]

[color=#E4D488]"Y-Yeah, I'm all good,"[/color] He said holding back the urge to cry. [color=#E4D488]"H-Ha! I hardly felt that at all!"[/color]

[color=orange]“Good, good… Let’s do it, then!”[/color] Johnny gently patted Camerin’s back before heading back to the board to watch the spin, with bated breath.

[color=#f8e7d3]“It seems I finished the game,”[/color] Reisys said happily. [color=#f8e7d3]“Well, good luck you two.”[/color]

[color=orange]“Must be nice, getting to lay back and watch us possibly get hurt!”[/color] Johnny responded angrily to Reisys. [color=orange]Weird, I’m supposed to be the lucky one…[/color] He thought while rolling his eyes.

[color=#6c2dc7]“Now then, you two pick your numbers,”[/color] Leala said as she headed back to the roulette. [color=#6c2dc7]“Also, you two better hope Lady Luck is with you, cause if you lose this round I’m not holding back anymore,”[/color] Leala said with a big grin on her face.

[color=orange]“You mean you weren’t using your full strength back there? God, those last two still hurt…”[/color] Johnny rubbed his stomach again as he leaned on the roulette board for the last time. [color=orange]“Six, eighteen, four; same as last time.”[/color] He told Leala. There was no reason to change them now, he thought. Those numbers had special meaning for him.

[color=#E4D488]"I'd best not lose this time, I rather not go home with a caved in stomach."[/color] Camerin thought. [color=#E4D488]"Okay, give give me different numbers this time; seven, fourteen, and three."[/color] Said Camerin, he thought he had a better chance at picking seven as its an all around lucky number.

[color=#6c2dc7]“Since I, the great Leala, am very generous, I decided that I’ll let you both pick one extra number as well since I think you guys are gonna need it.”[/color]

[color=orange]“Heh…”[/color] A grin came across Johnny’s face. [color=orange]“If you’re sure… I’m not gonna pass up a few extra percentage points in my favor.”[/color] He rubbed his chin as he thought of another number. [color=orange]“I’ll pick… eight.”[/color] It was considered a lucky number in some countries, if Johnny remembered correctly. Regardless, he asked Leala about the reward, to remind himself [color=orange]“Any one command, right? When we win?”[/color] He was getting his confidence back.

Hearing that Camerin’s ears perked eagerly as a curved smile stretched across his face, he really wanted Leala to cater to his whim. [color=#E4D488]"Splendid, I don't expect you to resist me..."[/color] he chuckled darkly as he thought of a number. [color=#E4D488]"I choose thirteen as my number."[/color]

[color=#6c2dc7]“Nothing lewd though,”[/color] Leala responded to Johnny. [color=#6c2dc7]“Now then, lets begin the third and final round.”[/color] Leala announced as she spun the roulette again. [color=#6c2dc7]“The first lucky number for this round is four. Tch, guess he’s safe again,”[/color] Leala was disappointed at the result but then spun the roulette right away. [color=#6c2dc7]“Will Camerin’s lucky number appear this round or shall he be the only one to face the punishment... Let’s see what spin number two has in store for him.”[/color] As the ball stopped, Leala’s excitement could be seen going away, she then responded blandly [color=#6c2dc7]“The number for this round is thirteen.”[/color]

Camerin jammed his hands in in his pockets, his smile turned into a crooked smirk as as he continued to chuckle. [color=#E4D488]"Excellent."[/color] He thought.

Johnny snapped his finger and faced away from the table as he breathed a large sigh of relief. [color=orange]“Whew, still got it! Didn’t even need that bonus number.”[/color] Shortly afterward, he told Camerin, [color=orange]“That extra pick seemed good for you, though,”[/color] with a smirk.

[color=#E4D488]"Indeed,"[/color] he responded. [color=#E4D488]"I believe this resulted in a tie."[/color]

[color=orange]“I think we all win, right, Leala? We just needed to win two rounds, it didn’t matter when and what order, right?”[/color] Johnny asked to confirm. [color=orange]“So, would we all get the prize…?”[/color] He added slowly, looking directly into Leala’s eyes in anticipation. There was a certain thing he wanted Leala to do for him, and he needed to know that he’d be allowed to.

[color=#6c2dc7]“The main winner of the game is Reisys being the one who cleared the game first. So she gets first picked on what she will decide, followed by Johnny and finally Camerin being the last one to clear it.”[/color] Leala simply said not showing her excitement from earlier.

[color=#f8e7d3]“I think I’ll save it for later, if that’s fine with you, young miss. I don’t really know what kind of command to give you now,”[/color] Reisys said hoping it would be fine.

[color=#6c2dc7]“That’s fine with me. Now then, I suppose it’s your turn Johnny.”[/color]

[color=orange]“Would you mind giving me a tour of Miniature Garden? Or at least, of your community? This is a new and strange world to me. I want to get used to my surroundings at least, if I’m gonna live here from now on.”[/color] This was a great opportunity to familiarize himself with more strange things Miniature Garden would have to offer. Some interesting things have already happened to Johnny, and there’s sure to be more fun to be had, he assumed. [color=orange]Besides, maybe I can have some fun teasing her while she leads me around…[/color] Johnny smiled mischievously as he planned out how he would do so. When she wasn’t trying to hurt him, Leala’s reactions tend to amuse Johnny.

[color=#6c2dc7]“That’s fine with me, though Katsumi was gonna give you guys a tour tomorrow.”[/color] Leala said a bit surprised at Johnny’s request. [color=#6c2dc7]“Now then Camerin its your turn I guess.”[/color]

[color=orange]“Aww, but I wanted you to guide me…”[/color] Johnny replied in mock disappointment. He hadn’t met this †˜Katsumi’ Leala keeps mentioning, but he wasn’t sure it’d be as fun as with Leala, given opportunities for some fun at her expense.

[color=#6c2dc7]“I’ll talk to her and let her know, then. But this better not be some sort of trick!”[/color] Leala said confused as to why he wanted her to give him the tour.

[color=orange]“I promise, I’m thinking nothing of the sort!”[/color] Johnny raised his hands to convince her of his innocence.

[color=#E4D488]"Anywho~!"[/color] Camerin snapped back to his cheery self as he bumped Johnny out of his way. [color=#E4D488]"How about my favor, eh?"[/color]

[color=orange]“Ah, rude…”[/color] Johnny responded jokingly to being knocked aside, but let Camerin choose his command. [color=orange]I wonder what he thought of…[/color]

[color=#6c2dc7]“Go ahead and say it. You don’t need my permission to just say it.”[/color] Leala retorted.

Camerin grinned at this, his ears and tail were going wild in anticipation. [color=#E4D488]"I, the great Camerin would like you, the great Leala. .."[/color] he continued, imitating Leala in turn. [color=#E4D488]"..to go out with me."[/color] He said as as his grin grew even wider.

[color=#6c2dc7]“Denied”[/color] Leala quickly responded.

[color=orange]“Ouch…”[/color] Johnny said hearing Camerin’s request being denied. He giggled a bit, too. He didn’t expect that.

Camerin held his chest and pretended to die, but quickly jumped back to his feet still smiling. [color=#E4D488]"Oh, I figured you'd deny something like that, that's why my real favor is for you to teach me how to correctly use my powers."[/color] He said. [color=#E4D488]"Not only do they take a toll on my way of living, but my physical being as as whole."[/color]

[color=#6c2dc7]“Unless your power is fire-based, I cannot help you”[/color] Leala simply said.

He pretended to die again, this time for good. [color=#E4D488]"S-So until I come up with a favor you agree with, I have to wait?!"[/color] He questioned rather flabbergasted.

[color=#6c2dc7]“You used up your favor with what you said was your real favor though.”[/color] Leala said with a chuckle.

[color=#E4D488]"Guh..."[/color] Camerin fell onto the ground. [color=#E4D488]"You’re killing me, you know that? I believe I just lost a life."[/color]

[color=orange]“Haha, oh man…”[/color] Johnny couldn’t hold back his laughter. [color=orange]“I guess you’ve only got eight left.”[/color] He said, going along with it.

[color=#6c2dc7]“Don’t worry I can introduce you to someone who can probably help you. You just need to wait a few days.”[/color]

[color=#E4D488]"Hmph, fine! Thanks for aaalll the help!"[/color] Camerin said sarcastically, a piece of Johnny may have rubbed off on him.

[color=#6c2dc7]“Well then let’s get going before it gets any more dark, I’m sure you're all tired and wish to rest in some nice comfortable beds, no?[/color]

[color=orange]“That’d be great. It’s way better than that bush you made us land on…”[/color] Johnny looked back at the bush, reminded of the unpleasant feeling of sitting on it, despite the fact that he would’ve died if he didn’t land there.

[color=#6c2dc7]“Oh would you have prefered the plain ground then?”[/color]

[color=#E4D488]"T-That won't be necessary, I can guarantee my safety if that's the case, but not for a human."[/color] Camerin cut in. [color=#E4D488]"They're too squishy to survive a fall of that caliber!"[/color] He pulled on Johnny’s cheek to prove his point.

[color=orange]“Ow, dude, hands off. I’m delicate!”[/color] Johnny gently pushed away Camerin when he pulled on his cheeks.

“You know you might be a cat but even you probably would have died from that thousand feet fall. Apart from the bush I had to cast some magic in hopes you guys didn’t break anything.”

[color=orange]“Did you? Thanks, then, I guess.”[/color] Johnny scratched the back of his head. [color=orange]Magic exists in this world, too? What’s with this place?[/color]

[color=#6c2dc7]“It was no problem for the great Leala,”[/color] Leala happily said.[color=#6c2dc7]“But we should get going it’s getting late and its dangerous to be out here at night.”[/color]

[color=#f8e7d3]“Lead the way then young miss.”[/color] Reisys said as she walked behind Leala.

Leala lead her group to her community home and along the way she could be seen skipping at times and suddenly stop to start walking normally as she seemed to be trying to hide her excitement. After a couple of minutes they had arrived at their destination after they passed a giant stone entrance. Once inside, the group could see the path leading into two directions. One path lead to a mansion while the other one seem to lead to a smaller stone building. [color=#6c2dc7]“Alright I’ll show you guys to the baths and then I’ll show you guys to rooms once we are inside.”[/color] Leala said as she began to run towards the mansion. [color=#6c2dc7]“Hurry up slowpokes!”[/color] Leala shouted at the other three

(This is a joint post between [color=blue]HiroyukiShota[/color], [color=#990000]Meals[/color], [color=#2ECCFA]Ba[/color][color=#FE2E64]gM[/color][color=#BF00FF]an[/color] and [color=#FC9EEE]Katsucha[/color])

With a flash of a light appeared three figures – in the sky. As they fell, they hardly had the liberty to peer across the gloriously wide and large city that laid out to the side of their sights. Obviously, the situation was confusing. Each of them were in their respective situations. All three received an invitation to this particular place – the Miniature Garden. Out of sheer boredom, or amusement, or for the occasional †˜kicks’ they accepted said invitation. Who’d think that it was more than just a typical prank, anyway?

The three fell over seemed strangely grassy… yet… thorny? It was soft enough to absorb some of the fall’s pressure. Yet, why did it hurt so?

[color=#BF00FF]“Owowow,”[/color] Mikka said having landed on her butt, [color=#BF00FF]“This isn’t fun at all.”[/color]

[color=#FE2E64]We don’t know about that[/color], Mikka thought in her head seeing a small cut on her hand.

[color=#2ECCFA]“No,”[/color] she said aloud, [color=#2ECCFA]“You’ve had enough fun for today,”[/color]

[color=#FE2E64]Spoilsport,[/color] Two thought.

Picking herself out of the thorns with a pained look on her face, she landed on the ground. In her grasp was her notebook and the shiny, sharp knife that she didn’t seem able to get rid of.

[color=#990000]“Ouch! What the hell?”[/color] Fio jumped out of the thorny bush. [color=#990000]“What kind of a landing spot is this?”[/color] She looked around her and saw a person. [color=#990000]“Um. . .Hi?”[/color]

Mikka flinched when she heard another voice, [color=#2ECCFA]“W-who’s there!?”[/color]

[color=#990000]“I-I should as the same thing to you!”[/color] Fio exclaimed.

[color=#2ECCFA]“We’re not saying anything before you!”[/color] Mikka said holding her knife out in front of her, trembling with her eye’s closed.

[color=#990000]“I’m Fi-”[/color]

[color=blue]“HAHAHAHA!”[/color] A booming voice cried out from a thick pile of bush, any person could’ve easily seen it been the thorniest of the bunch.[color=blue] “Ladies..There is no need to fight~! NO!”[/color] The voice continue and the figure stood up with dramatic slowness. Covered in thorns, Ted rose to his full height shamelessly revealing his full self to the other 2, his “mini garden” sadly, was hooked to pile of thorny bush was made unavailable to their sights. He shivered with a wide smile as the thorns sent jolts of pain whenever he made the tiniest of movements.

Fio was stunned to heard a loud voice coming out of a thick pile of thorny bushes. It was a man covered in thorns giving out a wide smile. [color=#990000]“I’m Fio Astebreed.”[/color] She ignored the man and introduced herself to the female that she saw before.

Mikka just stared in horror at the man, completely frozen in fear unable to do anything.

[color=blue]“They stopped fighting… Well done me.”[/color] Ted thought to himself as he turned to each individuals, his entry had not allowed him the luxury to do so previously. One had her eyes averted away from him while the other was fixed to him like hot glue. He smiled as he walked towards the group, more prominently towards the former. [color=blue]“My name is Ted, nice to meet you little girls.”[/color] he said with a wink.

[color=#990000]“G-get away from me!”[/color] Fio opened her eyepatch. Nearby metallic objects began to move and mold between her and the man, forming a weak thin metal wall. She closed her eyepatch again and focussed to the woman. [color=#990000]“Let’s get away from him!”[/color] She said as she grabbed the woman’s hand and pulled her.

[color=#2ECCFA]“D-don’t touch us!”[/color] Mikka said, pushing Fio away with her mind. Mikka was breathing heavily. How long had it been since she had been outside? How long had it been since she’d seen a face that she didn’t feel was out to get her. Mikka curled up into a ball, wanting to shut it all out, clutching her notebook close.

[color=blue]“Hmmm~ How troubling…”[/color] Ted said to himself, accompanying with a small sigh,[color=blue] “Is this what they call the rebellious age?”[/color] The wall was brittle, painfully easy to shatter with brute force alone. Ted gave up the former and instead decided to take a peek by making a hole with a finger. Noticing the lady still on the other side, he turned his attention to the one with him on this side of the wall. He looked around, searching for what he intended to find before coming back shortly, sitting an arm’s length away with a flower in hand waving it near the curled up girl.

[color=#990000]“Err. . .Okay. What do you want from us?!”[/color] Fio looked at the man with a rage filled expression while holding her eyepatch with her hand.

[color=blue]“Hmmm?”[/color] Ted looked up, a hand is occupied with waving the small, bright flower, [color=blue]“ Nothing really,”[/color] Toying the flower with additional spinning motions,[color=blue] ”I came down from the sky and suddenly all i hear was two girls on the verge of conflict. Fighting! bad!”[/color] Ted replied, emphasizing the last two words with a tone of a lecturer, in another language no less.

[color=#FC9EEE]“My my do think you guys survived that fall nicely. Thats very good.”[/color] Fey said with a smile as she approached the three.

Mikka raised her head from the ball she had curled up into. [color=#2ECCFA]“Who… are you?”[/color] she asked.

[color=#FC9EEE]“My name is Fey. I’m the one who summoned you three to Miniature Garden. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”[/color] Fey gave a small bow as she greeted the three.

[color=blue]"ANOTHER GIRL!"[/color] Ted cried out, eye shining like polished diamonds.

It was not an exaggeration to say Ted tossed himself to the air like a rocket, making poses while in midair as he did so and landing right in front of the newcomer softly, despite the earlier burst of strength. Ted flexed his muscles, arms behind his head and abs contracted tightly. Some thorns previously locked to his flesh came popping out like a cork from a bottle of wine.[color=blue] "Nice to meet you~♡"[/color] Ted smiled radiantly, rather ironically described considering his race.

[color=#FC9EEE]“My, my I didn’t expect to have summoned a pervert. So who might you be mister pervert?”[/color] Fey simply said.

[color=#990000]“. . .”[/color] Fio was stunned to see what the man did. [color=#990000]This guy, seriously?[/color]

[color=blue]"To be called a pervert..."[/color] Ted mumbled to himself. His head was hung low, his hair keeping his expression hidden. Ted's body shivered with deep audible breaths of air been heard to everyone…

[color=#FC9EEE]“Are you okay mister pervert?”[/color]

[color=blue]"Fre..."[/color] Ted whispered, crouching low to a squatting position.

“Fre? Might any of you two know what he means by that?” Fey said as she looked at Fio and Mikka.

Mikka shook her head laughing, [color=#BF00FF]“He sure is funny,”[/color] she said, tears forming in the corners of her eyes from laughing

[color=#990000]“Funny?! Scum like him?!”[/color] Fio said as she look at Fey, [color=#990000]“About what you said earlier, what is this so called Miniature Garden?”[/color] She asked.

[color=#FC9EEE]“Very well I shall explain but first”[/color] Fey looked over where Ted was suddenly a simple set of clothing appeared covering Ted. [color=#FC9EEE]“There we go, that’s much better for a worm like you,”[/color] Fey said with a smile. [color=#FC9EEE]“Now then,Miniature Garden is place where we hold Gift Games. I have decided to give you three the chance to join my community so you can play in these Gift Games.”[/color]

[color=#BF00FF]“Games!?”[/color] Mikka stood up, her eyes practically sparkling, [color=#BF00FF]“We wanna play!”[/color]

[color=#990000]“I don’t think that it’s as simple as that, miss.”[/color] Fio interrupted and continued. [color=#990000]“So what kind of games to we play here?”[/color] She asked.

(This is a joint post between [color=blue]HiroyukiShota[/color], [color=#990000]Meals[/color], [color=#2ECCFA]Ba[/color][color=#FE2E64]gM[/color][color=#BF00FF]an[/color] and [color=#FC9EEE]Katsucha[/color])

[color=#FC9EEE]“The games vary from simple games like lotteries to life threatening games. You can take place in this games as long as you have something to bet with but you also have the chance to win amazing gifts.”[/color]

[color=blue]“...Frrrrrrr, FREEESSSHHHHSHU!!”[/color] Ted suddenly stood up, eyes went aflame with manly passion, his attention solely directed to Fey. [color=blue]“ You are undoubtedly F-R-E-S-H! Miss Fey! NO! SISTAA!” [/color]Ted pointed straight at the community leader, Muscles contracting to rip the shirt off.[color=blue] “Pervert...WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WORD! The taste of such an artistic word to the lips! My pores dances from being praised so! I decided! I’ll live up to your high expectations! Not just as a simple masochist, no! But a perverted masochist! NOW!”[/color]

Mikka puffed up her cheeks, [color=#BF00FF]“When do we get to play!”[/color] She said grumpily, like a spoiled child, ignoring the outburst.

[color=#FC9EEE]“Oh my, to think I thought you were a simple pervert I was completely wrong. You’re a mega pervert aren’t you mister mega pervert?”[/color] Fey said with a smile. [color=#FC9EEE]“But enough of this I need you to stay still now. Unless you want be devoid of all sense of pain little worm”[/color]

[color=blue]“Mega pervert! Worm! FATHER! I HAVE EVOLVED!”[/color] The idea of experimenting being devoided of all sense of pain entertained Ted for a moment before he decided to stay put for the moment, he shifted rather closely to Fey, sitting down with a sheepish smile in a manner not unlike a preschool kid.

[color=#BF00FF]“P-L-A-Y!”[/color] Mikka said angrily.

Fio ignored the man and sighed, [color=#990000]“Oh fine, can you just give us a little taste of these so called Gift Games?”[/color]

[color=#FC9EEE]“Very well then you two. But since you three don’t have anything to bet with currently why don’t we just make it the loser has to listen to one command from the winner?”[/color]

[color=#FC9EEE]“As long as the command is not sexual.”[/color] She added.

[color=blue]“As long as it’s sex-!”[/color] Fio threw a rock at the man, “You! Shut up!”

Mikka grinned, [color=#FE2E64]“Oh? The pervert wants me to step on him?”[/color]

The two ladies recent actions didn’t go unnoticed for different kind of light was suddenly presented in Ted’s eyes - one of enlightenment.[color=blue] “These two... can work too!”[/color] he thought as he found himself shifting closer to Mikka, with eyes that was pleading, no DEMANDING Mikka to fulfil her earlier words.

[color=#FC9EEE]“My, my I believe that’s enough from you. Stay still now will you?”[/color] Fey simply smiled.

[color=blue]“If only you’d tie me up!”[/color] Ted replied, both hands occupied with Mikka’s leg as he positioned it to the optimum angle for maximum damage.

Mikka kicked Ted away, [color=#FE2E64]“It’s no fun when they want it,”[/color] Mikka frowned.

[color=blue]" IT FEELS GOOD!"[/color] Ted was flung a good distance away, a result of him lending strength to Mikka's kick. He landed between the 2 beast eared ladies, puppy eyeing them both to keep the sadistic trend going.

Fey gave a small sigh [color=#FC9EEE]“I suppose I have no choice. Either that or we are gonna spent all night hitting this little worm.”[/color] Fey said as she approached Ted she gave a small flick to his forehead. “There we go I won’t let you feel anything now, till you let me finish my explanation, understood?” Fey said with a smile.


Ted was initially confused by Fey's words until the truth hit home like a sack of potatoes, a bag of feathers would be more appropriately described since he lost his sense of touch. Ted's shifted left and right frantically in the initial confusion as he smacked his legs only to have zero feedback returning. The sudden sense of defeat sent him strengthless as he obediently sat down teary eyed like a sad puppy, occasionally pinching himself to deny the nightmare already made true, however futile.

Fio sighed, [color=#990000]“Just ignore the boy, please. The more you †˜tease’ him, the more he’ll react.”[/color] She sighed. [color=#990000]And here I thought that I’d finally have a nice calm life with nothing to fear.[/color] She sighed once more.

[color=#FC9EEE]“Sorry can’t do that. I would like to have you all join my community so it would be rather rude of me if I were to ignore him even if his a little worm.”[/color] Fey said happily. [color=#FC9EEE]“Now then how about we play that game I said we should play earlier before we got interrupted?”[/color]

[color=#990000]“Ah, yes please. I almost forgot about that.”[/color] Answered Fio.

[color=#BF00FF]“Game!”[/color] Mikka punched her fist into the air, happily.

[color=#FC9EEE]“Now then we’ll be playing a simple game of tag so you guys can understand better how Gift Games work. If you guys win I’ll listen to one command you guys give but if I win you three have to follow one command I give. How does that sound? Oh and no lewd commands.”[/color]

[color=#BF00FF]“We want to play!”[/color] Mikka shouted.

[color=#2ECCFA]“But what are the rules?”[/color] Mikka asked, her more sensible personality showing through.

[color=blue]"Nolewdcommandsthisisbullshitcometothinkofitican'tfeelathingwhatamitalkingabouthuehuehue.." [/color]Ted was droning to himself despite hearing the earlier explanations. A part of his mind seem to have picked up minor but important irregularities but he wasn't quite himself to fully take note of it.

[color=#FC9EEE]“All you have to do is tag me within a certain time limit if you’re able to do that you win. Easy no?”[/color]

[color=#990000]“Easier said than done.”[/color] Fio shrugged. [color=#990000]But then again. . .[/color] She thought as she signaled the two to come near her.

[color=#BF00FF]“We can do it!”[/color] Mikka cried, but refused Fio’s beckon, she still wasn’t comfortable around the two others. Likewise, Ted was in a world of his own to really take note of Fio's beckon.

[color=#990000]“Just come here, I have a plan.”[/color] she paused for a bit and looked at Ted. She picked a rock from the ground and throw it at him. [color=#990000]“You too, pervert!”[/color], her response returned was an unresponsive one.

[color=#FC9EEE]“Well if you guys don’t mind we should start soon or it will be impossible for you guys to win in the middle of the night don’t you think?”[/color] Fey said happily.

[color=#BF00FF]“Achente,”[/color] Mikka said her tongue sticking out cutely

[color=#990000]What the hell is Achente?[/color] Fio facepalmed.

[color=#FC9EEE]“Very well I’ll take that as you agreed for us to start.”[/color] Fey said suddenly a geass roll appeared in front of Mikka, Fio and Ted. [color=#FC9EEE]“Please read it carefully”[/color]

Instead of reading the scroll properly, Ted wriggled his way to Fey, wordlessly puppy eyeing her.

Mikka grinned, [color=#FE2E64]“How boring,”[/color] she said, yawning.

Fio opened her eyepatch to form metal rings to hold her down. Just when the rings about to finish she looked at Fey. [color=#990000]When did-[/color]

[color=#FC9EEE]“Well then game start.”[/color] Fey said with a smile as her body suddenly disappeared.

[color=#BF00FF]“Game~ Game~”[/color] Mikka sang happily, skipping around the nearby area looking through bushes and up trees. [color=#BF00FF]“Not here”[/color] she continued, [color=#BF00FF]“Where are you hiding?”[/color] Mikka smiled, enjoying the game continuing to search within 20 feet of herself.

[color=#990000]An illusion huh, she can’t be that far. Can she?[/color] She tried to find higher ground and formed tech binoculars from the rings that she made earlier. [color=#990000]Now where are you hiding, †˜S’ Foxen.[/color] She looked through her newly formed binoculars and scanned her surrounding area. Hopefully she also found some metal substances in the process also.

Whereas everyone was playing a part in their game to search for Fey, Ted continued to wallow in self pity. It was at a random moment where he dug out a piece of recent memory of Fey when she robbed him of his most important sense...

“I won’t let you feel anything now, till you let me finish my explanation, understood?”

...

“Till you let me finish my explanation, understood?”

...

“Finish my explanation, understood?”

...

[color=blue]"SHE’S FORGOTTEN?!!?!?!"[/color] Ted shouted, no wailed.[color=blue] "SISTAAA!! YOU STUPIDD!!!"[/color] He continued his child-like tantrum as Ted ran away with great speed, a trail of his tears following in his wake.

[color=#FC9EEE]Oh my, it seemed I forgot about him. Well if he keeps running, the effect should wear off soon. Though, apart from him, the other two seem to be a bit more reliable,[/color] Fey thought [color=#FC9EEE]Now then, I should start having some fun with them.[/color]

[color=#FE2E64]Now what kind of fun could that be I wonder?[/color] Mikka thought, projecting her thoughts directly to Fey.

Fey was surprised when she suddenly heard Mikka’s voice. She quickly looked around left and right, up and down, and even to behind. [color=#FC9EEE]She’s not here, but I swear I just heard her voice,[/color] Fey thought as she was confused as to what she just heard.

[color=#FE2E64]Mmhmm, I’m not here, but I’m talking to you,[/color] Mikka continued, [color=#FE2E64]I wonder how…?[/color] If Fey had been able to see Mikka’s face at that moment she would have seen a huge grin.

[color=#FC9EEE]I see, so you have telepathy. Don’t you think it would have been smarter to let me know about it once I thought where I would go. Knowing you have it now... well I think you know what’s next.[/color] Fey thought as she began moving from her current location.

As Fey began running she had problems keeping focus of not thinking where she was going, she did not think one of them would have telepathy.

[color=#FE2E64]“Found you!”[/color] Mikka shouted, her tone of voice almost demented, eyes wide.

[color=#FC9EEE]“My, my how careless of me,”[/color] Fey said as she quickly stopped to change her direction. Regaining her focus, Fey quickly glanced into Mikka eyes. Soon, another Fey appeared going the opposite direction.

Concentrating on the Fey that had turned left Mikka tried to stop her in her tracks, she rarely used her power on people but this was one of those occasions.

[color=#FC9EEE]“What did you just do?”[/color] Fey was slightly confused why her body suddenly stopped, but she was able to move a bit back.

[color=#BF00FF]“Gotcha!”[/color] Mikka cheered. Running over to Fey she quickly jumped up and tapped her on the head, [color=#BF00FF]“Tag!”[/color] Mikka giggled.

[color=#FC9EEE]“My, my, to think you caught me like that. Congratulations you win,”[/color] Fey said smiling. [color=#FC9EEE]“But now we need to find the other two, hopefully they didn’t stray off to far,”[/color] Fey said as she patted Mikka on the head then began walking.

Mikka followed behind the strange fox lady, feeling slightly more comfortable than before.

[color=#990000]Nope, nothing.[/color] Fio sighed as she put on her eyepatch back. She walked down the hill and saw Mikka and Fey walking together. [color=#990000]“Oh, you’ve found her.”[/color] she said happily.

[color=#FC9EEE]“So now all that’s left to find is mister pervert. I wonder where he wiggle his way through, though,”[/color] Fey said as she continued to walk. He can't’ have went there, can he? Fey thought, apparently worried. [color=#FC9EEE]“Wait for me right here,”[/color] she said, facing the other two. Fey then jumped up to the tree branches, and hopped from tree to tree; leaving the two behind.

Before long, Fey found herself before a large lake. There was a wide and long waterfall visible. It was hardly a lake in reality; there was another set of waterfalls below said body of water in front of her. She found a figure standing just in front of said lake – it was Ted.

While the rest were engaged in the Gift Game, Ted found himself quite hopelessly lost. He didn't know how far he ran, but before he knew it, there wasn't a place for him to continue running anymore.

He had reached the edge of the world.

The ancients once believed that the world was flat which was proven false with the advancement of time and science. The sight that greeted his sight seemed to challenged it, overthrow it even. Waterfalls littered his sight as the water poured down to a realm unknown to him below, his eyesight couldn't catch an end at sight. It was majestic as it was alienating that for a moment Ted wasn't himself at all.

As Ted looked upon the land he had just arrived at. He could feel small tremors, and with each passing minute; they grew stronger. Soon the temperature in the area began to rise. A giant reptile with six legs, bright orange scales, and two giant horns on its head approached Ted. Once a few feet away, the creature began to speak. “What is a human doing out here?”

The unexpected sight of fire had Ted instinctively on his toes, fangs bared and fingers curled, but as fast as it came, it too ceased just as fast when he took note what it really was.

[color=blue]"AKANTO- yea right,"[/color] Ted corrected himself[color=blue] "Y-Yo big man, pretty nice sight ain't it?" [/color]As he gestured the waterfalls before him. [color=blue]"I got lost a 'lil lost when running about, mind if you can give a direction or two?"[/color] Keep casual, he reminded himself.

“I can tell you with one condition” The giant creature replied. “You must challenge me to a Gift Game.”

[color=blue]"Gift game?"[/color] Ted enquired, he knew what it was of course but it didn't hurt dragging the conversation a little longer to understand more of his situation. The creature felt civilized enough from his reply.

“Are you not from this world human?”

[color=blue]"Human? Nay! I'm a vampire! I, Ted, 100 years old have just arrived today!"[/color] Energetically, Ted replied, getting slightly more to his usual form.

“A vampire, you don’t run into those that often around here.” The creature said as it slammed its giant tail on the ground. “How about we have that game, if you manage to win I’ll give you a welcome Gift, but if you lose; you become my servant.”

[color=blue]"Servant eh... "[/color] Ted tasted those words before correcting himself.[color=blue] "Mmmm yes yes, a game. Of course."[/color]He amended with a few false coughs, [color=blue]"specifically what kind big bro?"[/color] Ted asked, testing a more intimate term to try getting into his inner circle a lil more.

“I shall give you three options. First: you can fight me and see if you can beat me. Second: you can try and see if you can block one of my fire attacks, or three: you can challenge me to a game of strength.”

[color=blue]He didn’t take the bait?[/color] thought Ted, either he was simply ignorant of the term or simply didn’t mind had Ted off balanced. Still there was simply more that he need to know, [color=blue]"Before that." [/color]Ted spoke, his tone neutral.[color=blue]"What exactly are you big bro?" [/color]

“I’m one of the Fire Gods from this lands”

He could use this.

[color=blue]"EEEHHH??"[/color] Ted voice was suddenly very accusational, a complete turn over from the suck-dick approach earlier on. [color=blue]"A god against a mere vampire like me? C'mon bro, squishing me under those terms..No dude, NO! You're clearly better than that! You're a GOD after all!"[/color] Ted secretly thanked his dramatic flare from being able to pull those words out of nowhere [color=blue]" Man... what'll sight to see if you're unable to accomplish a feat that a mere vamp like me can accomplish but you can't..."[/color] he let those words trail along, intentionally soft and taunting as he waited a reply.

“Do you not know with what you’re dealing with, vampire?”

Not gonna work eh... Ted thought, worse, he seemed to have irked it. He gave thought for a bit as he entertained picturing his short,short life watering down like an hourglass.

[color=blue]"2."[/color] Ted replied with his left fingers symbolizing the digit itself. He abandoned all the acting since his opponent seemed pretty immune to it. [color=blue]" But. Show me a demo at least will you?"[/color]

“Very well.” The creature simply said as it aimed at the waterfalls. It then fired a giant ball of fire that evaporated a large portion of the water which then was cover up quickly by the water again. “I cannot fire a blast at full strength to do this being my friend’s home.”

[color=blue]"Oohh."[/color] Ted applaud, inside his head committing to himself to eat less roasted food from now on. He didn't want to do it, he seriously didn't but he swallowed it down.[color=blue] "Lets du et."[/color] He replied, turning rattled noises to words.

“Very well.” The creature simply said as it then faced Ted and fire a giant ball of fire at him.

[color=blue]"YOU FAG-" [/color]Ted cursed from the sudden attack. His plans to make use of the water as insurance utterly evaporating in front of him. The scene of fire engulfing his entire line of sight brought memories of that wretched day as he bit his lips and roared out his aggression, running straight towards the fire with an arm threw out in front.

[color=blue]"LEEERRROYYY JEEEENNNKKKIINNSSS!!!"[/color]

He survived direct sunlight before, he will survive again.

The fireball slammed to an invisible wall, forced to dissipate under it's unyielding strength. Ted continued to run straight towards the lizard god, unable to stop his reckless charge until he tripped and fell directly in front of the lizard

[color=blue]"I dif et?"[/color] He questioned as he laid earthwards on the ground, strengthless to even turn around.clouds of dirt was formed as he spoke.

“You’re a strange vampire but none the less congratulations on stopping my fire. As promise here’s your welcoming gift.” A bright light suddenly covered Ted as the creature finish speaking. “I’ll give this armor to you, make good use of it. Next time we meet I shall not lose vampire.” The creature said as it began walking away.

[color=blue]"....eu haben't gif meh dyrektsions et."[/color] But the god was already long gone by then. Ted eventually stood up after resting a while more, dusting himself and examining for wounds, minor burns as it turns out.

He had beaten a god. Ted allowed himself to slowly immerse in that fact, gaining a smile out from it for that achievement. [color=blue]“Take that big J!”[/color] he cheered before immediately receiving a painful feedback at the head that had him squatting down.

[color=#FC9EEE]“So this is where you went mister pervert.”[/color] Fey said as she approached Ted, she then was surprised to see Ted was wearing armor and wasn’t naked anymore. [color]“Where you get that? I’m pretty sure you came here with nothing”[/color]

HIISSSSSSS!!! Ted jumped back and hissed like a cat at the sight of Fey, fearful of losing his precious sense again.

[color=#FC9EEE]“Oh my has being out here for a couple minutes turn you into a wild animal already? You poor little thing.”[/color]

Following the animal play that he portrayed, Ted continued to distance himself from Fey, sour from her cruel attempt. He may have embraced most methods of 'teasing' but Fey certainly went a tad too far.

[color=#FC9EEE]“Come on let’s go everyone is waiting for us. If you don’t I don’t mind leaving you out here for the night.”[/color] Fey happily declared.

*whimper* [color=blue]"Sistaa is all sticks, no carrot..." [/color]Ted dropped the act as he got up from all fours. As he did, he suddenly grabbed the area of his chest and crashed to his knees, a pained expression on his face.

[color=#FC9EEE]“Hey mister pervert are you okay?”[/color] Fey asked as she approached Ted not sure if something was wrong with him or he was acting.

[color=blue]"Sistaa..."[/color] he mumbled, soft as a whisper. The words was made even harder to hear with the labored breaths he was taking.

[color=#FC9EEE]“You know I had done some research before summoning you so I’m pretty sure you don’t have health problems.”[/color]

Crap... thoughted Ted, sweat forming. Still, she was close enough.[color=blue] "GIMMI A CARROT!" [/color]With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Ted pounced towards Fey, taking advantage of her momentary confusion.

Fey was able to notice Ted pounced towards her on time and she simply move to the side avoiding him completely. [color=#FC9EEE]“My, my aren’t you spoiled. I’m sorry but I don’t have anymore time to waste. You can choose to come quietly or you can choose to stay out here I’m not gonna make the other two wait any longer out here anymore.”[/color]

[color=blue]"Sistaa you meanie."[/color] Ted uttered. The weight of the armor probably was the cause. Ted instantly took a dislike towards it as he finally cooperated with Fey.[color=blue] "....so, where am i again?"[/color] He naturally started a conversation as they walked back to the other two.

After finally having Ted follow her back to where the other two stayed at Fey had them all follow her back to her community home. [color=#FC9EEE]“I’m sorry for the long wait Mikka and Fio I’ll make sure you two can have a nice relaxing bath once we’re home and Ted can sleep in the barn.”[/color]

[color=#2ECCFA]“H-how do you know our name?”[/color] Mikka said taken aback.

“It was on the geass roll remember? Fio had said who she was already and your name simply can’t be Ted could it.”

[color=blue]"It's true... Mikka." Ted suddenly said with teary eyes, "we're actually lost twins dear sister!!!"[/color] He continued, playing with the possibility Mikka was in anyway related to him.

[color=#2ECCFA]“What are you talking about?”[/color] Mikka said spitting the words out in Ted’s direction.

[color=blue]"NO NEED TO BE SHY MY SISTER, NO! I-M-O-U-T-O!!"[/color] The fire was again burning inside those eyes, [color=blue]" Let us mend this broken bonds by sharing a bed tonight!!! Big bro will protect you!!!" [/color]

[color=#990000]“. . . .”[/color] Fio facepalm and picked up another rock. [color=#990000]“I’m sorry kind sir, would you please shut up!”[/color] She exclaimed as she gripped the rock on her hand, ready to be thrown at Ted.

[color=#2ECCFA]“Disgusting,”[/color] Mikka said reproachfully.

[color=blue]"ONII CHAN HEARTBREAK!!!" [/color]Ted shouted, going to far as to mimic a physical blow as he threw himself back playing dead.

[color=#2ECCFA]“I don’t know you!”[/color] Mikka shouted, annoyed at Ted.

[color=#FC9EEE]“Now, now everyone calm down especially you Ted. I don’t want you guys waking up the children once we get there so I rather you all stay calm. Or we can settle everything out here.”[/color] Fey said with a smile on her face.

[color=#990000]“Children?”[/color] Fio asked.

[color=blue]"CHILDREN?"[/color]Ted too replied, although the tone suggested something else altogether.

[color=#2ECCFA]“Go die,”[/color] Mikka said, in her eyes Ted was irredeemable. Ted acted out a heartbroken expression but in considerable subdued level after earning a glare from Fey.

After a hour of walking the group finally had arrived at their destination. Opening a giant wooden door Fey let the group inside. [color=#FC9EEE]“Welcome to Crusader’s home. There’s not much but I hope you three make yourself at home.”[/color] From what the group was able to make out there was three paths leading in different directions. To their left the path lead to a what seem to be a farm, the middle road lead to mansion and the path to right seem to lead to smaller house. Fey lead the group to the middle road as their destination was the mansion. [color=#FC9EEE]“I’ll hope you enjoy it here. I’ll show to the baths and once you’re all finish I’ll show to your rooms.”[/color] Fey said as she let each one to a different bath.

I hope no one saw that...

Ted's eyebrows contracted in displeasure when the large establishment first fell to his sights but quickly dissolved it, electing his usual mischievous grin. He was washing himself in silence, an act that'll surely scare the girls if they'd be here to see it. Thinking of such things made Ted smile for a bit before he continued, thinking about the things to come.
