"It’s going all right. People talking, having fun. Certain people have other kinds of "fun". Don't worry, we'll keep it small and private, and it's people I know are okay with it. Masami, Louie, Isabella. You and me."

Remember to make Masami want to stay human so that she'll give up immortality for this.
We should talk with Jill about Avril and everything later, of course. Right now just let her have a good time.

>>33917813
[x]It’s going all right. People talking, having fun. We’ll break out the party games in a bit, I think. Come on, let’s get back and join them.
I don't know about anyone else, but I'd rather have fun with Jill, Isabella, Masami, and Louie when we're all alone in the house and don't have to worry about James, Ajani, or Gloria crashing the fun.
James, because he's an asshole.
Ajani, because he's a bit of a stick in the mud.
And Gloria, because she's a prude when it's not her and Ajani.
And Esther...I think she'd just make fun of us for a bit and then leave. Not to be mean-spirited, but because she just finds it all silly.

>>33917813
Guy from >>33917975 changing to support >>33918103
Gotta admit, starting to have fun only to have James ruin it all by being a douche and cockblocking us would not be fun, and does sound exactly like something he would do.

((The second option actually had 'we'll have some fun once the prudes leave' originally, but it just parsed really awkwardly however I phrased it, so it got changed. Looks like I should have stuck with the awkward version. Writing now, anyway.))

>>33918486
So does that mean that we'll get to have that private fun once the others leave, or is that chance gone for now?

>>33918770
(( 'Have private fun once the others leave' is pretty much how I parse >>33918103 . Feel free to correct me if I'm misinterpreting it.))

>>33918814
No, no. That's exactly what I want.

"Yeah, the party's going all right. Not much different from before, people sitting around talking and stuff. We've got some party games around somewhere, although I'm not sure many of them will stretch to 9 people so we might have to do two at once. Shall we get back downstairs? Otherwise all the crisps might be gone. I got some prawn-flavoured ones specially for you."

That at least brings a warm smile to Jill's face, and the two of you hurry downstairs, swiping the bowl of prawn-flavoured crisps away from James before he's managed to get through half of them.

As you suspected, nine people at once is a bit much for something like Truth or Dare?, Twister or Pictionary. You try splitting the group up a bit, helped by Ajani, Gloria, Esther and James already having split themselves off a bit into the dining room.

Gloria turns out to be exceptional at Twister - you suppose her martial skill gives her good balance. James falls over onto Ajani a few times. You're pretty sure it's not accidental after the second time. Esther prefers Pictionary, and turns out to be an exceptionally good artist.

In the living room, Isabella tries to push for Spin the Bottle, but you persuade her to hold off for now after seeing the blushes on Louie, Masami and Jill. Instead you play a bluffing game where some of you are resistance fighters and some are spies, and a word-guessing game. Louie is an awful bluffer, but has a remarkably good vocabulary.

An hour or two passes in good cheer, the food is running low, and everyone seems happy. Esther is the first to bid you good night, James trailing along behind her. Ajani and Gloria head home together not long after.

The night is still quite young. Louie is looking a little nervous at being left in the company of yourself, Masami, and Isabella, but you're pretty sure he's not about to run off, with the amount of whispering Masami and Isabella have been doing and his subsequent blushes.

What do you want to do first?

>>33920206

Invite them to stay over, of course. A night or two.

Also, play cards. Strip vriety games, team up with Isabella and cheat as much as possible, but trying to keep a balance on how much clothing everyone loses.

>>33920206
>What do you want to do first?
Isabella.

What? We need that sex XP.

I actually have no real ideas where to go so I'll just second >>33920383.

Jill's still here, right?

>>33920206

I don't know what do. This doesn't seem to be a moment for serious business, yeah.

Maybe ask Louie about his pelt? COuld do that on the morning, though, if he stays. If he doesn't, then we should ask him now.

>>33920206
Take Jill aside, mention that now that there's less people, the remaining ones wanted to have a bit more physical fun. Ask her if she's in the mood to feeling good.
She can have us just for herself afterwards if she wants, too.

As for ourselves, I'd say we should enjoy ourselves, but not have outright sex with Louie, Isabella, or Masami right now. Don't want to add to the Hunger, after all.
But things like what we did with Louie in the showers is okay.

>>33920429
>Jill's still here, right?
She's staying with us because Avril kicked her out and she doesn't want to stay alone in her home where she has nothing but bad memories of her mother.

And if we have sex with Isabella, that'll give us XP but also give us another Hunger.
Having sex with Jill, someone we already have a Hunger for, is less problematic.

Remember that we're working on rules of plot for how badly, and how often, the Hungers will hit us. Get too many or not feed them enough, and we won't be able to do anything BUT feed them.

>>33920514

Isabella is safe, she's Chris already.

And Louie...well, unless something happens to him, he should be safe too. The only real danger here is Masami, since she can be manipulated/transformed.

>>33920383
>>33920429

>>33920431

>>33920439

((Strip <insert card games> it is. I'm going to elide over the exact type of game and rules and so on because looking everything up is slowing my post times down horrendously enough as it is.))

>>33920748
>Isabella is safe, she's Chris already.
No, she belongs to the Man, not to us. He simply entrusted us with her killswitch because he expects us to be his loyal sergeant and handle things for him. It's a power set apart from our Ghoul Skin.

And we would still have to feed the Hungers, which could cloud our mind and distract us during the day. Whether they're "safe" is not the same as not causing another Hunger.

>>33920933

Then I guess that leaves Jill and Louie to sex up.

But honestly, I don't care much anymore. I just want to have as much fun as possible, witht he slow rate of updates/votes in this quest. I miss when it was popular back then.

>>33922043
If you're just going to go for the most immediately rewarding choices with no consideration for the character's long term benefit or survival, then I'd rather you never came back.

You really don't seem to understand what's being said here: sex with any one of the three will create a new Hunger; we're already at three Hungers, and we can't feed two of them right now, an you want to get three more.
Chris may be dense at times, but you're playing him like a sex-starved idiot.

>>33922152

No, just two more, at best, 1 at worst. I actually don't want anything to do with Masami, and if Isabella isn't safe cause of The Man, then I can drop her.

>>33922203
So you want as many Hungers as we can get, then. We already have trouble with three, and you want more added on.

>>33922255
We get XP every time we sate a hunger/have sex, I think, so it's actually in our best interest to nail everything in sight.

>>33922289
Except that hungers become more distracting the more of them we have, and they demand to be fed whenever an opportunity is presented. We were warned about this in the last thread.

>>33922421
Isabella isn't like Avril. We don't have to worry that she's been playing us from the start and will betray us as soon as she gets the chance, because she's got no choice but to be a good little bitch for us, on pain of death. There's no risk, only reward.

>>33920751
"So, hey, since the house is empty, there's a bunch of spare beds. Do you all want to stay over tonight?" Jill is already staying over, of course, and Isabella agrees straight away. Louie is the only one who looks doubtful, but once Masami agrees to stay he goes along too. You get some takeaway ordered in, since you figure you could all do with more of a meal than the various snacks and crisps, and bring the chairs and sofas round into more of a circle for some card games.

Of course, with five people, you can't officially pair up as a team with anyone, but your telepathic link with Isabella makes an unofficial team-up surprisingly easy. With the two of you quietly collaborating you can rig it so that Isabella is the first to lose, and she immediately shucks off her top as though it were the most natural thing in the world. Jill looks at you in confusion, but calms down a little when you nod reassuringly. Masami just grins as though she was expecting this from the moment you brought out a deck of cards. Maybe she was. Louie is too distracted to object much as you deal out the cards for the next round; it seems Isabella didn't bother with a bra today.

Once you, Isabella and Masami have all lost at least one article of clothing, you let things play themselves out for the most part. When Louie loses his first round, Masami bats his hands away and undoes the buttons of his shirt herself. Jill can take care of her own clothing, and in fact seems a lot less shy than you'd expect. You guess you're not the only one who's changed over the past month or so.

Fairly soon you're all running very low on clothing. Isabella is the first to be totally naked, but her lack of underwear put her a bit behind from the start. You rig one or two more rounds, here and there, to keep things even, mostly intentionally throwing a round - you and Isabella seem to be the only ones with any real experience of playing cards.

((Cont.))

>>33922745
(You don’t actually recall playing cards before, ever. But you’re doing a bit too well to just be beginner’s luck, so you must have at some point, surely.)

Louie is getting more and more distracted, and is the next to be all out. By this point, though, the game is basically irrelevant, and when Isabella leans over the table to give him a long, deep kiss, you just shift the deck out of the way and move round to sit by Jill, stripping her of her few remaining clothes. You’re only left in your boxers yourself, and Jill slides her hand down into them as Isabella keeps kissing Louie, her gaze almost as eager as Masami’s.

You should probably drag this up to a bedroom. Or maybe two, if you’d like to split things up a bit. It’d be more comfortable than that table.

>>33922774
((Really, I ought to close the thread for the night - it's 3am here, after all. We did start very late and I have been even slower than usual tonight, though, so I'll try and eke out one more post tonight, if people want.))

>>33922774
>[]Leave the big bed to the others and take Jill off into your room. Or someone else off into your room, if you prefer. [Details required]
This seems more or less optimal.

Um... what do you mean by "details required"? Like, would "69 for a bit then have hot and sweaty missionary sex" count? Or are you looking for a different kind of detail?

>>33923068
((Yeah, sure, that'll do. It was mostly that people were arguing fairly heatedly over who to have sex with or not have sex with, so I wanted names. Anything else just helps if I ever manage to get round to writing any more smut, ever.))

>>33922774
[]The big bed can take all of us. [Details required]
Have Chris switch between Jill, Isabella, and Louie in kissing them, fondling them, and having them suck us off. Kissing and petting for Masami if she's open to it. Only really have sex with Jill, in order to not gain another hunger until we figure out what to do with our current ones.

>>33923125
I dunno what takes you so long, man.

Is there anything else in the backlog, incidentally? It's been a long time.

>>33922774
[]The big bed can take all of us [Focus on Jill first, the. Give the girls a show with Louie]

Hell yeah. About time the party got to the main event. Need to bond more with Jill, rebuild the relationship. Louie is for satisfying the female fantasy, and cause it's hot. Isabella can do whatever she wants with anyone, excetp Chris.

>>33922774
>[]The big bed can take all of us

as long as Louie is played with, full sex or or jsu some making out, I don't care.

this quest is the only one where some gay action is possible...makes me sad its in such a cruel,state.

>>33923198
>I dunno what takes you so long, man.
((Me neither. It's just really tiring to write anything, lately.))
>Is there anything else in the backlog, incidentally? It's been a long time.
((Way, way too many things. A Gloria/Ajani side piece is the only one that's actually half-done at the moment.))

>>33923333

Different Anon here. Don't force yourself to write, if it's not working.

I'd suggest you consider preparing the end of the quest, but I think you already have, considering that the...uh, the Powerful Things have been dealt with, and now we're left with More Powerful Thing to deal with.

>>33923125
>It was mostly that people were arguing fairly heatedly over who to have sex with or not have sex with, so I wanted names
I think part of it is because quite a few players don't understand how our Hungers and XP work, and they haven't seen our Hungers really inconvenience us.
Additionally at least one player doesn't care what happens so long as they get some smut and see time advance, and this is what happens.

>>33923571

Pff, it's not about the smut. I don't care for anything explicit, a simple fade to black is fine to me.

I don't know how long this quest will continue, might as well have some fun instead of minmaxing everything. I promise I will leave the choice of power up for you to pick, unless i'm the only one avaible then.

>>33923975
It will be harder to do things if you make choices that limit our options or that create obstacles to us doing things, like expanding our Hungers beyond a number we can safely control.
We don't have the Fae Pact to help control our Hungers any more, and Satiety increases our Hungers' pull the more we feed them.

>>33924113

>>33587980
>The more people you have sex with, the more Hungers you have, so the more opportunities you have for it to come up, but each individual Hunger isn't any stronger. The overall strength of your Hunger waxes and wanes depending on how regularly you sate them, what other important things are going on, how distracted you otherwise are, how turned on you are already, and various concerns of Plot.

>>33588213
>((Honestly, the answer to this is 'I don't have things mapped out in that much fine detail'. There's no vast Hunger spreadsheet where every action makes one Hunger tick up slightly and another tick down. If you need to feed your Hungers, sating any of them will do.
>>>33588076
>Not directly. But any direct, immediate opportunity to feed any one of your Hungers is potentially distracting.))

These are the quotes. I'm honestly not seeing something super concerning, here.

>>33924235
So you're not concerned that with more hungers comes more opportunities to be distracted?
What, just because we haven't lost hours or opportunities before to us getting distracted, you think it'll never be a problem?
You think that the Hungers are just a minor annoyance that can be ignored?

>>33924368
>So you're not concerned that with more hungers comes more opportunities to be distracted?
Not really? "Distracted" here means something like, "I fucked Louie last night, now he's tempting me with that fine ass... roll to Hold Steady." I don't really think any of the group here is the kind that's liable to create that kind of distraction, and it takes a very particular set of circumstances for it to come up.

>>33923426
((Yeah, I... think I'm probably going to try and get some sleep.

Sorry, guys and girls. All votes will still be counted. And do keep discussing and planning and so on, it's all helpful.

Next thread next Tuesday, as usual. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.))

>>33924523
Just how bad can our Hungers get?
Are we close to having so many we lose control and lose options for a day?
Right now it seems like the distractions from our Hungers have very little impact or threat, when they were far more ominous before.

>>33922774
>[]Leave the big bed to the others and take Jill off into your room. Or someone else off into your room, if you prefer. [Details required]
start off slow with some foreplay and heavy petting then go down on her and see how things move from there
