We stop into the tailor at after finishing all of our shopping. I get put into my silly red outfit. It’s… fairly comfortable actually. The materials are really nice. It’s good for formalwear.
First is dinner. Hanamaya apparently worked everything out while she was in town and… uh, Rin and I weren’t. She’s too good to me. Um… Right, the restaurant. It’s apparently known for its excellent Jianhokun food. I can’t wait to try it. I wonder if they have rice? Jensin doesn’t produce much of it at all, so it’s been a while.
Next is some play. I gather that it’s something about sailors or sea life. But everyone who’s seen it apparently loved it, so I’ve got no problems going to see it.
And last is our arrival back home. Both of my girls have something planned. I’m hoping it involves sex, but even if it doesn’t I’m sure they have something pleasant in store for me.
The Zone rings got finished earlier, and they commented on how strange it felt. They thanked me for it, so I guess it’s fine as long as they’re happy. I do wonder if, or even if, it plays into tonight’s surprise? I suspect it does, but I deliberately try to avoid speculating on how.
I’m waiting for the two girls to finish being put into their own attire. I’m excited to see them.
Sentral connects. Shipwreck?
¬what did you find Sentral£)¬
¬wind and water have rendered bird 22 incapable of flight# crab is not capable of flight# water has carried them down# observe)¬
It shares a vision. The bird, struggling to fly in massive winds. The crab on its back hanging on. The bird falling into the water below… a fucking whirlpool? What?! Oh my, those rocky outcroppings over there would make short works of ships, no wonder they call this area cursed. The bird falls into the whirlpool. The crab does too, but manages a grip on the ground beside what looks for all the world like a portal. The bird gets sucked through the portal, and spat out into another body of water. It attempts to swim upwards with its wings, and clears the water, holding place midair. And there’s where the bird is now. Above a lake? Are those blue and brown things trees? They look more like coral. Hm, I hear someone walking up to my fleshy body. I set the bird down on a tree and dig its talons into a branch(?). I order the crab to entrench itself. Hopefully there’s enough light that neither runs out of energy. I disconnect from both for now, and order Sentral to bring the remaining 21 birds home and recharge them.
I’m really interested in what’s on the other side of that portal, but this date night is more important. I turn to whoever is approaching me.
Rin was the one who finished first. I’m surprised. It’s more of a suit than anything. She’s still clearly a woman, but the garment is more handsome than beautiful. The fabric is largely blue, with a lot of white and and a little black here and there to bring out the primary color. Buttons go up the front in two columns, and the front coattails fall off to the side. In contrast, my own suit’s coattails fall from the side to my front, like a triangle with a line cut through the middle. I wonder if that’s where the sex divide in clothing is here? Will Hana also come out wearing a suit? I had been expecting dresses from both of them, but I wouldn’t mind.
Me, “Rin, that looks great. Blue is a good color on you, and you wear that suit well.”
Rin, “Thank you. I chose something that said ‘confident’ to me. This is apparently woman’s formalwear in Friegheim. Yours is also Friegheim style. Hana’s will be Al Ruheiban, but you’ll see for yourself.
Me, “I was a bit curious about that. I had expected a dress from both of you, but I’m really happy with this. I notice that aside from the primary color, yours has more white, while mine has more black.”
Rin, “That’s one of the differences, yes. The other is the symbology on the buttons, the different turns on the sleeves, the coattail direction, and a few other minor things. Or, so the tailor explained to me!”
Hana comes out next. She is wearing a dress. “How does it look!”
Me, “Very green. Several shades. Poofy hem, black leggings, is that a choker? The structure looks complicated. That said, you look rather beautiful in that dress. A great choice!”
Hana, “Heehee, thank you. We thought have reversing our garment choices, so she’d be in the dress and I’d be in the suit. But I think this is better.”
The last of Wed’s men, oh, this one is a woman, nods at us and hauls our clothing away. My spare suit is in its own large bag, the rest of the clothes are in a more normal bag. I’ll separate them tomorrow.
I turn back to my girls. “You’re both beautiful. Shall we away?”
One girl on each arm, I’m led to the dinner.
– – –
At the restaurant, we’re seated without delay. We make small talk about the ocean, and how we all know little about sailing. I’m glad to see the food is, in fact, primarily rice based. However, there’s no mention of sushi, or Raman. Of course, I looked at the descriptions, rather than the English, er, Japanese nouns, it seemed they traditionally didn’t use a whole lot of seafood in their meals, and instead focused on fancy uses of ham and pork. These are meats that I typically considered less than high class in the past, but wow, they did something to it. The meat is sliced thinly and seems to be heavily spiced. I’m a little too ignorant of the culture to appreciate it to its fullest, but even so, it’s an incredible meal.
Exiting the building, I propose we ask one of the nearby carriages to take us to the playhouse. I connect with the girls, ask them, and a unanimous agreement comes forth. So, I proposition a few. The first two tell me they are bought out for the day, but the third is willing to take us up. And, if we would like, he’d wait for the play to finish, and take us home after. I agreed to the extra charge. I confirm with him that he doesn’t mind taking us outside of the city for this. He’s unsure about taking us outside the city, but a few extra silvers changes his mind.
The play was in a large building, stone, but with orange and blue decorative fabric hung around from the front. We were far from the only people here, but since we arrived in a carriage, we are guided by a well dressed man to a separate line. It’s carpeted.
I’m suddenly struck by a desire for carpeting in my cart.
¬then get some silly)¬
¬it might be comfortable# I’d want to see how it feels on my feet please# since we are in your cart most days)¬
¬alright then# tomorrow I’ll see about some carpeting# I’ll do that before exploring the portal)¬
Silence.
¬portal£¬ ¬portal£¬ They both are confused by this.
¬oh yeah# Sentral lost one of my birds to a whirlwind and whirlpool that were above a portal about 200 feet below the water# I’ve got the crab on our side and there’s some sort of lake on the other side# the trees look kind of like coral)¬
¬that’s bizarre= and you didn’t think to tell us£)¬
¬Sentral told me about it while we were putting on these clothes# sure I’m curious but date night with you two is more important)¬
¬you are# I’ve never even heard of anything like this# and you go stumbling upon it almost immediately)¬
¬do you want to explore it tomorrow with me£ you’re both welcome to view it through the bird’s eyes too)¬
¬yes= Galdr preserve me yes=)¬
¬heehee# I’d also like to come and see)¬
¬tomorrow then# after carpeting)¬
We’re distracted with our conversation and come to the front of the line. The gentleman looks at us strangely. I guess it does look odd to outsiders when we have a conversation in telepathy; no sound, but we look at each other and make expressions. He schools his expression and greets us in Al Ruheiban.
¬he wants the tickets# I’ve got them)¬ Hana let’s go of my hand and reaches into her dress, producing something out of sight. She hands them to the man behind the counter.
The clerk bows and says something, before motioning to the side. We walk inside.
The interior is also carpeted, and well lit, though not with fire.
Rin opts to speak to answer my curiosity, “They’re enchanted lights. Not expensive, but candles are cheaper. I hear nobles often buy enchanted lights instead of burning candles. This is a way of showing off wealth.”
Not far in, yet another sharp dressed man meets us, and guides us to our seats. I’m surprised when he opens a door though. I was expecting nice, I was not expecting box seats. We have an excellent view.
There is some time left before the play starts, it seems. A woman, well dressed, comes by and asks us, in Jensin, if we want any snacks or refreshments. Hana asks for that fruity drink from the bar in Karmm. I request some salted nuts. Rin asks for ice water. The woman nods, and leaves.
Rin, “So. Tell me about your plans for the bath cart. A bath of hot water sounds amazing.”
Me, “The primary feature will be a large tub yes. I’ll need to tinker around with water stones, heat crystals, and cold crystals to get it right. I also want to install a shower or two for cleaning up before getting in the tub. The shower will feature hot water too, which I’ve been really hoping for for a long time.”
Hana, “So the tub isn’t for getting clean after all.”
Me, “Right, that’s what the shower is for.”
Rin, “The bath is only for pleasure then.”
Me, “Correct. Wait. No, don’t twist my meaning, it’s to enjoy the hot water!”
Hana smirks, “While having sex in it.”
Me, “Not… usually…!”
Rin shakes her head, and looks at Hana. “All men are wolves.”
Hana laughs, and Rin joins her. I sigh while smiling. Well played, you two.
Hana, “Will the water swirl like last time? The movement was really nice, but it was a little fast for my liking.”
Me, “I’ll see about adding that. It shouldn’t be too hard.”
Rin, “Will you add arms and legs to make it a proper golem? Self propelled, instead of by horse?”
Me, “I’d like to do that, yeah. Maybe two in front and two in back?”
Rin, “Two in front sounds good for balancing. Will it still have wheels? If so, I think one in back is good enough.”
Me, “Good point. And yes it will still have wheels. I don’t think I can get a cart-sized golem to walk smoothly enough to not disturb its contents, so for now, wheels will be included.”
Hana, “Will the water for the shower come out if the tub? Or will there be more hot water stored elsewhere?”
Me, “I think it will be stored elsewhere. The water can then refill the tub, or go the showers as needed. The tub golem, or perhaps just Sentral, will control the crystals as needed to produce more water, or adjust the temperature.”
Rin, “Does the shower water just go onto the ground then?”
Me, “I think so. I might want some sort of hose, so it can be dumped further away from camp and not make our encampment ground into a marsh.”
The woman from before returns with our things. They all go on the mini table near each of us. Hana tips her some money, and she bows and withdraws.
The play starts not long after. I notice that Hanamaya has out on her glasses to watch it.
The general plot is about a sailor who makes a name for himself and becomes captain. He falls in love with a woman traveling on one of his ships, and she returns his affections, but a storm sees her thrown overboard. A sea witch approaches him in his hour of despair, promising to return her safe and sound, but in return he must steal and deliver the ‘heart of the sea’, some sort of gem. If he fails to do so, she will turn him into a tortoise. He agrees, and his love floats out of the water. The play ends with him spectacularly failing to steal the Heart, but getting away from the authorities,…. But not the sea witch. His love calls his name, searching for him, while a turtle follows her, slowly falling behind.
Mmm, these nuts are excellent.
The story was alright, but not really my jam. I more enjoyed the sea shanties sung during the “traveling” sequences between ports. Some sung acapella, some with an instrument accompanying. The second song, about a sailor suffering from survivor’s guilt and on a pilgrimage of sorts to visit the place his crew mates died, and there finding peace after meeting ghosts, brought me to tears. I struggle to find the words to express what I’m feeling, and fail. The girls look confused, the song didn’t resonate with them, and that’s okay; frankly, I don’t know why it resonated with me.. They hug me anyway. I feel silly, but I’d love to hear the song again.
At the ending scene with the turtle, Hana goes over to Rin, hugs her, and starts bawling. “He’s… Right there…” Rin sobs, and returns the hug. Hana is crying too hard to get words out.
The woman from before sneaks in and smoothly drops off a somewhat oversized hankerchief on my table, winks at me, and departs quietly. I’m the background, the curtains close, and there’s mass applause.
Shit. What do I do here? Um. Okay. When they calm down a bit, I’ll give them a hug, use my smaller hankerchief that I already had on Hana… No no, she’s crying way harder. I’ll use the larger hankerchief on Hana and the smaller on Rin, and say something like, “It’s okay, maybe the curse will wear off.”
Hana hiccups, something between a laugh and a sob. ¬you dummy# the curse is forever# the sea witch said so# but I’ll take that hug anyway)¬
Oops. The trials and tribulations of dating a telepath. I step over and, handkerchiefs akimbo, hug my girls and dry their eyes. Umm… “It’s okay. Even if you turn into a turtle, I’ll still love you.”
Wow that was a dumb thing to say. But they both laugh a bit anyway. “I shouldn’t feel better, but I do. Thank you,” says Rin.
Hana calms down enough to speak. “Can you believe he didn’t cry at the end?”
Rin laughs. “I know. Do men even have emotions?”
I smile. “Nope. We’re just wolves. We’re jerks like that.”
Hana squeezed me tighter. “You are!”
There is a knock at the door. The girls take my handkerchiefs and finish drying their faces. I open the door, and a sharply dressed elderly gentleman awaits. He bows, and says, “Grey and company, I presume?”
Me, “That’s right.”
He says, “Miss Gabra has made arrangements for you to meet the cast, if you are interested.”
Hana gasps, and Rin is also surprised. Rin recovers first, “That would be wonderful…”
I nod. “We accept!”
– – –
The leads are both bilingual, luckily.
Rin and Hana are thrilled to meet the lead actress. She talks about how she practiced the lines, and during rehearsal every now again she’d burst into tears during the tortoise scene. Hana cries even more when she hears that, and the 3 of the commiserate over the ending.
I am more interested in the shanty. I talk to the lead actor, who sang in the song I liked, though wasn’t the lead singer in that one. “I get asked about that a lot, actually. It’s more popular with the men, and I think that’s why they included it in the play. Little somethin’ for the menfolk. ‘Waterlogged Bones’ is the name.”
Me, “The last stanza where he forgives himself really got me. My women didn’t seem to understand.”
Actor, “Aye, it’s a good’un. The line that got me was in the middle, when he pines for the days gone by with sailin’ and singin’.”
He continues talking about the different parts of the play women enjoyed versus men. It was an enjoyable 15 or so minutes before we were politely asked to leave.
Time to go home then. I again try not to speculate about the nature of my surprise.
Finding our carriage, we set off for the encampment.
On the way home,, Hana sits on my lap. I circle my arms around her stomach.
Me, “I rather enjoyed this. Thank you for proposing it. We should do this every now and again.”
Hana, “One on one is nice, but a group date ended up being enjoyable! Rin is good company so that helped.”
Rin, “You drove the night and picked a wonderful itinerary. You’re the star tonight, Hanamaya.”
Hana gives a “Heehee,” and blushes.
The ride home is faster than the walk in.
[Intimacy scene]
Arriving back at camp, I see Wed’s guy nod at me and leave. I help the ladies out of the carriage, and tip the drive one last silver. Ignoring the departing men, I allow myself to be led by my two women to my cart.
Rin, “Tonight we wanted to pamper you. To love you as much as you love us.”
Hana takes my Zone ring off my hand and pockets it, “We want to drown you in love so deep you’ll never want to come up.”
My sense of Zone immediately departs. My heart rate goes up. While I completely trust them, it must be something interesting they have planned if they both have it and I don’t. Only one thing comes to mind. I like where this is going.
The door to my cart somehow opens itself again, and closes after we step through it. The lights are still on inside, for now. The girls undress me, then undress themselves while I watch their nakedness come to light. They then guide me to the bed, and I’m laid down with my legs over the edge, the same way I’d placed Rin in. Rin kneels between my legs, and Hana lays down beside me.
“I love you.”
“I love you.”
Both my girls say that thing I can’t hear often enough. I go to respond, but Hana puts a finger to my mouth. “Shh. Don’t have to say or do anything. Just let us spoil you.” Well, alright then.
I feel both girls focus on me in their mind. They deepen the connection.
Rin kisses the tip of my penis. It’s an erotic sight. Hana, meanwhile, moves her lips to my own, kissing me sideways. Her tongue slips into my mouth, filling it with her slimy length and wrapping me up the way I love. Rin moves her hands pressing down on the base of my cock, and wraps her lips around my tip. She slowly moves her lips back and forth over the underside of the head, exactly where it feels best for me.
¬I love you)¬
¬I love you)¬
My heart squeezes, every time they say that it’s a rush of happiness… and the physical stimulation is… oh, it’s absolutely incredible. Both of my loves working together to pamper me, while whispering their love into my mind… it’s, ahhggg, no…
I feel it rising already. This is essentially premature ejaculation, but- ahh, I can’t help it when they both work in tandem to pleasure me-eee. Rin’s soft, wet lips feel incredible sliding over my sensitive penis, and getting lovingly deep kissed by Hana, it’s… bliss.
I feel both girls closely paying attention to the state of my mind, like they’re waiting for something. Ah, ahhg, they won’t have to wait long. Here it comes, it’s cumming, right into Ringara’s mouth, it’s cumming, I’m cumming, it fe-
¬I love you)¬
¬I love you)¬
I explode, pumping everything I’ve got into Rin’s mouth. My mind is reeling from the pleasure and their love. I can’t do anything except moan under them, a twitching mess of joy.
¬H-ana# there’s too much# I can’t)¬
¬hold it in your mouth# the followup is important to him)¬
I barely notice that they’ve gone off script for this little production of theirs. I’m coming down from my orgasm, and I’m saddened that Hana’s pulling back her tongue. Fully extracted, she puts her arm under my neck and lifts me up to a seated position.
I look down, and Rin’s lips are still wrapped around my cockhead. She has a complicated expression, strokes my rod with her hand, perhaps trying to extract any remaining cum from my penis before pulling away.
Eventually, she finishes. Her expression hasn’t changed, as she turns her head up to look at me. Her mouth opens and… oh wow, there’s so much of my whiteness in her mouth. There’s some motion… oh fuck, she’s mixing it with her tongue, I can see her waving it through my cum. She closes her mouth. She gives a tiny gulp. She waits, then does it again. It takes her a full thirty seconds to swallow everything. Her emotions seem a little fuzzy by the end. With my fluids swallowed, she opens her mouth wide. None remains.
