"We're not battling you. We'd wreck your shit so hard, it's not funny." You hear Martha say slowly, as if to a particularly dim child. "We're not paying this phony fee either. So, either get out of our way, or get ready to get bent into a pretzle."

"Sure, sure. Now pay up. Twenty bucks each now." Mike dismisses, before sitting straighter and grinning evilly as he spies you and your group. "Well, well. Welcome to my toll booth, faggot." He says mockingly, striding arrogantly past Martha and pushing Judy out of his way, using the shove as an excuse to grope her on his way to shove you.

No damage, just a power outage for 16 and a half hours. Yes, I kept count. Fortunately and the really dangerous trees are coming down tomorrow. So, probably going to be sporadic then. Anyway, update soon.

On an unrelated note, I might add 'miniature\cold cyclone' to my table of potentially dangerous weather. Because while it was fucking terrifying to wake up to at 5.30 in the morning, it'd make for a neat 'encounter'. Especially after the way everyone handled the rainstorm.

You side-step Mike's attempt to push you and walk through his shitty roadblock without a backward glance.

"If you don't give him the time of day, he'll give up and go away." You say, addressing the girls as you look back.

Mike looks like he's about to pop a vein.

"You can't just-" He splutters as everyone follows your lead.

"I just did, Mike." You reply. "Either stop acting like a smartass child or go home." You add, before turning your back on him. "C'mon. Road's not getting any shorter wasting time on this dickhead." Youadd.

"Don't you turn your back on me!" Mike says. "Coward!"

"Whatever." You reply, waving a hand dismissively, not looking back.

Mike stares at you as you walk away, growing redder and redder, before he gives an incoherent yell and runs at your back.

You fall back on training, checking your shoulder, then sidestep Mike's wild swing, turning it into a wind-up for a kick in response.

You catch him in the guts with a round-house kick square in the guts while he's off balance and there's an audible 'oof' as you knock the breath out of him. He collapses like a house of cards gasping for breath and clutching his midriff, before curling into a ball with a pathetic groan.

You watch him to make sure he doesn't try anything stupid for a minute as the others look on, before you turn and walk away.

Your response stunned Mike and you get the impression he just, finally, learnt an important lesson he should've picked up on years ago.

"C'mon." You say to everyone, turning your back on him. "Let's go."

You start on your way while Kathryn stays back, releasing an Alakazam to psychically dismantle the roadblock and checkpoint before she hurries to catch up.

"I beat Ethan." You say.

"Pay up." Judy says, nudging Martha smugly.

Martha just rolls her eyes as she pulls out her trainer card and transfers money to apparently everyone else.

"Last time I take a long shot." She grumbles as Judy drifts back to begin chatting with Holly.

"And this is Holly." You add as Holly is immediately overwhelmed by Judy's energy as she is made friends with.

"Hi." She manages, giving a little wave before returning to answering what questions of Judy's she can, although once the discussion turns to fashion, she finds her feet and the conversation becomes an actual conversation rather than one way.

"So, are you coming hiking with us, or are you going to just be staying the night on the way to Silveridge Town?" Kathryn asks.

You've been giving this some thought.

From the point of view of training and catching some more pokemon it's a good idea, especially with Jean, Kathryn, Martha and Judy around. At the same time, you have to wonder about Fie getting back to her Gym.

"I made a couple of calls while you were getting your head stitched up." Fie says pointedly when you look her way. "Emma's fine covering for the time being." She smiles wryly. You get the impression she had a bit more to say on the subject with regards to her 'covering' for Fie, but it's neither here nor there.

"I'm not missing out on that hike for all the money in the world." You reply. "It's always been on the to-do list, but I've never had the opportunity." You admit.

"Um... h-how far around is the lake?" Holly asks, sounding faint at the proposition of all that walking.

"Two or three days." Martha says, unconcerned.

Holly looks alarmed at this.

"Don't worry, if you get tired, we've got members of our teams who you can ride on." Judy assures.

Holly sighs in relief.

"You'll get used to all the walking eventually." Martha says. "Just stick with it." She adds.

"If you say so..." Holly says.

It's cloudy today, but it doesn't look like the weather is going to turn bad, so there's no reason to hurry along.

Sd you walk, you decide to check your pokedex to see what sort of pokemon can be found at the lake. Once again, it's frustratingly undifferentiated, but at least in this case you can tell what you can probably expect to find where:

Magikarp
Oddish
Basculin
Cottonee
Feebas
Buizel
Applin
Poliwag
Cherubi
Tympole
Clauncher
Psyduck
Taillow
Pidgey
Lotad
Starly
Swablu
Gyarados
Milotic

There're also unconfirmed reports of legendary pokemon being seen at the lake, though the few photos provided are blurry and indistinct.

Still, by the looks of it you should be able to fill a lot of gaps in your team if the list of pokemon found at the lake is anything to go by and there's also a note attached to the unconfirmed sightings of a reward for any conclusive proof as to the presence of any legendaries.

"Is there anything you think I should catch at the lake?" Holly asks you.

>That's up to you.

Febass when properly cared for evolve into milotic.

I intend to get those too along with a clauncher.

Just a reminder Swablu like to pretend to be hats.

"Ultimately, that's up to you." You say. "But, if you want my opinion, out of this list, Swablu and Feebas would be the go." You opine. "Personally, I'm hoping to find a Clauncher. Feebas and Swablu are on the list as well, but I kind of want a Clauncher."

"Why those two?" Holly asks.

"Because if you care for a Feebas properly, they evolve into Milotic." You reply. "As for Swablu, they love cleaning up. Also they like to pretend they're hats." You add.

"You're joking." Holly accuses.

"Nope, they really do." Judy chimes in, fishing out her own pokedex and bringing up some pictures of herself, much younger, with a Swablu perched on her head as she laughed and grinned.

"Huh..." Holly says as she studies the picture.

"Applin or Lotad wouldn't be bad either." You note as Judy puts her pokedex away.

"Or Cherubi." Judy adds.

"I guess I'll have to see what we find." Holly says, looking thoughtful.

It's getting on towards mid day now and the clouds aren't showing any sign of breaking just yet, but it's nice enough.

You decide to stop for lunch. It's a bit of a walk before you find a good spot just off the road in the shade of a wattle, but once you point it out, everyone unanimously agrees that it's time for a break.

Between everyone, it's not long before you have a fire going and food cooking.

You decide to train Sage, first and foremost. You've barely spent any time with her, but a quick glance in the pokedex shows she's not far off evolving already and she can learn some pretty decent moves.

She would've been a big help in Newport Gym as well if Rusty had've somehow not been able to cut it.

Only question is, what to train her on?

>Teach her Flame Charge.
>Teach her Psybeam.

>>5044682

>>5044682

>>5044822
>>5044829
>>5044841

If you weren't in the middle of grassland like this, you'd probably go for Flame Charge first, but as it stands, Psybeam seems like the more prudent choice.

Both so you don't go starting a fire and because there's no reason not to get a head start on the psychic training.

You find a good sized rock and set it up as a target, then release Sage.

"You'd better not be thinking of doing any practice with fire moves." Martha notes as she sees what you're up to.

"Nope, Psybeam." You reply.

"Huh, alright let's see how you do." She says, sitting down to watch. Not patronisingly, but apparently with genuine interest in what you plan to do.

>Roll.

(Also, describe how you're going about teaching her, because I'm genuinely not sure how to write this.)

For now, we can try focusing on the outcome - visualize what one wants (shooting the rock), make it a reality, all that.

For future sessions, though, we could look into into how other people train both their aura and PSI abilities - I'm not sure how much they ultimately differ (both in the quest and actual canon), but I'd think they're both in the same general realm, and both sets of techniques could have use for our own aura training and any psychic training for our team.

>>5044856

You're struck by a sudden bout of stage fright and fumble for a moment as you realise you don't know how to put into words as esoteric an attack as Psybeam.

"Alright, Sage..." You begin. "Focus on your psychic power. Focus it into a single ray and direct it towards that rock." You say, indicating your makeshift target.

She looks up at you, not quite blankly, but she tilts her head in a manner that you think means she hasn't quite understood.

"...focus on thinking of that rock over there growing really, really hot like it was hit by a hot beam." You try after watching a couple of demonstration videos.

She blinks and nods, yips excitedly, then braces herself, glares at the rock and then her eyes flash and the rock is suddenly gone. In its place is a smoking crater and a psychedelic afterimage of a beam of energy.

"Holy shit..." You hear Martha breathe as she, like you, blinks spots out of her vision while Sage jumps excitedly.

"...Good job, Sage." You say weakly as you kneel down to pet her and congratulate her on the effort.

Martha stands up and returns with another rock.

"I don't think there's any worry in her having difficulty with this." She says. "But just to be sure, maybe get her to do it a few more times?" She suggests. "Just to make sure she can do it consistently and that wasn't a fluke."

"That's a good idea." You agree, before letting Sage go. "Same deal again, Psybeam on the rock." You order.

This time, Sage doesn't have to think so hard, she simply blasts the rock happily and then a third time when you ask her to do it again.

"Great work, Sage." You say, ruffling her ears again as she beams at you.

It's been all of five minutes and you're already making progress.

"Going to teach her anything else?" Martha asks.

>Yes, that was pretty easy, so maybe Flame Charge this time. That is, if you've got a water pokemon.
>Yes, Howl.
>Do you have any suggestions.
>No, I think I'll train Rusty a bit next. Hey, Gareth!

"Not right now." You reply. "Flame Charge is a bit risky just now." You add. "Instead..." You recall Sage and release Rusty. "Hey, Gareth?" You ask.

"Yes?" He looks up from the fire curiously.

"Mind helping me teach Rusty Rock Polish?" You ask.

"Sure, if you don't mind helping me with a bit of training." He replies.

"Sounds good." You agree.

Gareth comes over and releases Geodude.

"Alright, Rusty, pay attention to Geodude." You say.

Rusty does as you say as Gareth orders Geodude to use Rock Polish. When they're finished, you look to Rusty.

"Now, you try." You say.

It takes Rusty a few tries, but eventually, he does succeed in pulling off a Rock Polish.

"Okay, let's keep at it." You say. "Rock Polish." You order.

Rusty tries again, but doesn't quite manage it this time.

You keep at it for about half an hour with Gareth and Geodude and by the end of it, you're reasonably sure all Rusty needs to get Rock Polish down, is practice.

"Good job." You say, returning him.

"Lunch is ready." Holly calls, which more or less puts paid to any more training for the time being.

"We'll have to keep going tonight." Gareth says. "Maybe Kay O-o and Druddigon?" He suggests.

"That sounds like a good idea." You admit.

Lunch is once again excellent, thanks to Holly's cooking.

She practically glows as she's roundly complimented by everyone with how much she's blushing and insisting that it was nothing, really.

"Don't sell yourself short." You advise. "You're a fantastic cook and you should be proud of yourself."

Somehow, this makes her blush harder.

"You're just saying that." She protests.

"Self-deprecation and being humble is a good trait to have, but don't belittle yourself." You say. "You've got a talent. Be proud of it." You tell her.

She squirms in embarrassment, still blushing but nods.

Once you're all finished eating, you pack up again and set off.

Lunch was actually interesting, from the perspective of getting to see what pokemon Jean, Judy, Kathryn and Martha have:

Asides from her Alakazam, Kathryn has a Lopunny and a Lucario, along with an Absol, an Arcanine and a Vaporeon.

Jean, as you expected given her interest in fossils, has a few Fossil pokemon with her. You recognise Aerodactyl, an Armaldo and Rampardos, though she also has an Inteleon, Bellossom and Salazzle as well.

Martha meanwhile, has a bit of a mix: She also has a Lucario, though much like herself, it seems to be a lot more stern than Kathryn's. She also has a Medicham. That's about where her team diverges from your expectations however, as she has a Sylveon and a Dragonair, which somehow don't fit your image of her. You took her for the sort who'd go for an all-Fighting team. Rounding things out, she's also got a Rapidash and a Swanna, which is somehow a lot more cutesy than you expected.

Finally, Judy's team is about what you were expecting: well-groomed, dressed up and with a very definite lean towards pokemon with a particular aesthetic: She has a Gardevoir and a Gallade, a Braviary, a Swoobat, an Altaria and a Sawsbuck.

After seeing their teams, you're very glad that they have a 'six-badges or no battle' rule, because any one of them would've taken you to the cleaners.

(Part 1)

>>5046016
"You okay, Alex?" Judy asks as you set off. "You're looking a bit pale." She notes after you've been walking for a little bit.

"It's no big deal. Just thinking about how hard you'd have taken me to the cleaners if I had've battled any of you." You explain.

She smiles sheepishly.

"Yeah, that's sort of why we made that rule." She admits. "There's no fun in just stomping all over inexperienced trainers and taking their money." She says. "You just feel like a bully. Some people do it anyway and don't care, but you can generally tell, because they're the dicks showing off you can spot a mile away." She explains.

"Thanks for the tip."

It's starting to clear a little now. You're not sure if Martha's Dragonair had anything to do with that, but the late-autumn sun is nice, so you're not complaining.

The road goes on ahead, straight and empty for a long way.

You don't see another soul until mid-afternoon and in that case, it's a farmer way off in the distance herding sheep.

"Arceus, that's a hard job." Martha says, shaking her head.

"Yeah." You agree, following her gaze.

You're distracted as you spot a Rufflet settling in a ghost gum not far distant and Martha follows your gaze, before looking to your arm.

"Got an admirer, huh?" She asks, with a note of surprise.

"Stalker, more like, by the looks of it." You reply.

Wave Rufllet over before he attacks someone randomly, maybe he can be useful without being caught.

You keep an eye out for the next hour for any other pokemon.

You spy a Ducklett and a Spearow a way off in the grass, along with a Sandshrew and an Alolan Geodude in amongst a jumble of rocks off on the other side of the road towards the end of it.

The whole time though, Rufflet is never far out of sight, hopping from tree to tree or vantage to vantage, not even attempting to hide from you.

You sigh in defeat.

You really can't help but hand it to Rufflet: He's stubborn and committed. And you've got to admire that.

You wave to him and in short order, he's flapping along beside you excitedly.

"Huh, he really does like you." Martha observes.

"Aw, he's so earnest." Judy says as Rufflet beams at you.

"Alright, look." You say tiredly. "I'm still trying to make up my mind if I want to catch you or not, but if you're going to follow us and hang around, you might as well help out." You say. "So, if that idiot who was blocking the road comes anywhere near us again and we don't realise, you let us know."

Rufflet caws and nods enthusiastically.

"In exchange, you don't need to stalk me, you can just stick close and eat with us and whatnot."

The look Rufflet gives you is one of adoration, before he starts circling overhead.

"I wonder if he's had a trainer before?" Kathryn says, looking up at him.

"Maybe." Martha says. "He's sure got a lot more stamina than I'd expect out of a wild Rufflet."

"He understood that pretty readily as well." Jean agrees.

"I guess that's a question for some other time." You say, though you check your pokedex and it doesn't ping Rufflet as registered to anyone.

It's starting to get towards late afternoon now and a sign up ahead at a junction indicates that Lake Clarity is another hour's walk to the east.

"How're you doing, Holly?" You ask.

"Okay for now." She replies, though you get the sense she's putting on a brave face.

"You sure you're okay?" You press.

Holly nods again.

"Lunch helped." She replies.

You nod, accepting her answer as you continue on.

It's getting dark when you reach the camp grounds and it takes you a bit to find a site that isn't occupied. Evidently, people are here for the weekend.

Each campsite in the camping ground is clear and features a fire pit and a place to hook up electonics, which some people have used as an opportunity to set up big, portable lamps for their campsites, mini-fridges or other appliances.

There're a few trees in the middle of the campground, but from what you can make out in the gloom, they're very carefully managed and the campsites have been placed to account for them.

It feels good to be setting up camp again and once you've got your tent set up, you get the fire going in record time.

"Huh. You are good at this." Kathryn says, startled as you move on to helping Fie and Holly set up Fie's tent.

"That tent looks big enough for everyone." Judy adds, staring at it somewhat incredulously. Next to it, you abruptly realise that she's actually really short. You could probably sit her on your shoulders and carry her no problem.

"It'd be super-cramped. It's only supposed to be a six-man tent. And that's a theory rather than a fact." You reply as you finish with Fie's tent.

"If you want, I can handle the tents." You offer. "It's a good opportunity for Holly to get some practice in." You add.

"That's not a half-bad idea." Martha concedes, indicating for you to go ahead as the others gravitate towards the fire to start on dinner and set things up.

You spend the next ten minutes working with Holly to put the tents up. By the time you're done, you're confident she'll be able to do it herself in the future, though you make a mental note to keep tabs on her tomorrow night to make sure that she doesn't forget.

"You still up for some training?" You ask Gareth when you join the others around the fire.

"Absolutely." He confirms. "You got any ideas for what to train?" He asks.

"I was thinking Dragon Dance." You say. "You?"

"Hone Claws." Gareth replies. "Since Druddigon can't learn Dragon Dance."

"That's reasonable." You admit. "Do the Aura Guardians have any sort of shrine or relationships with the lakes?" You ask. "Or just the major caves?"

"There are shrines at the lakes." Gareth confrims. "There's meant to be one on an island in the middle of the lake here." He adds. "In memory of a Guardian who spent their whole life protecting the area and the Legendaries that are supposed to call this lake home."

"Huh. Might be worth checking out if we can find some way to the island." You say, before you both turn your attention to your respective dragons.

"Alright, Kay O-o, we're going to start work on Dragon Dance." You say, showing him the reference video you found. It actually reminds you a lot of Capoeira. It might be tricky to teach Kay O-o right now, but if you manage it, you think you might be able to wring some extra benefit from it, or maybe combo some other move into it.

That's in the future though. For now, you've got to teach Kay O-o the base move.

You keep at it for the better part of an hour while dinner cooks, going through the forms with Kay O-o. It's slow going, but by the time Holly announces that dinner is ready, you're satisfied that Kay O-o is making good progress towards learning Dragon Dance. It's making you feel energised as well. And strangely lucid and aware of your surroundings as well.

Gareth and Druddigon meanwhile aren't nearly as successful. You offer input where you can and he lets you know his own observations of your own training, but by the time you pause for dinner, he and Druddigon haven't made much progress.

"You and Kay O-o are doing really well." Gareth says as the two of you sit down to eat. "Also, do you feel okay?" He asks.

"Yeah, I'm okay." You confirm. "I just feel... alive." You reply. "Like, I'm full of energy I can't spend anywhere."

Gareth tilts his head and blinks.

"I should think so." He says. "Your aura is blazing right now."

"Really?" you ask, startled.

"I mean, it makes sense." Jean notes. "Dragon Dance increases the Speed and Attack of a pokemon, so if your aura is active and you were performing it that much, I guess it stands to reason that you'd see some effect from it."

"You up for doing push-ups?" Fie asks. "That'd be a good way to burn that energy off."

You shake your head.

"No, my arm is still healing." You reply as you focus on your meal and find to your complete lack of surprise that Holly's cooking remains excellent.

"What happened with your arm, anyway?" Martha asks curiously.

"Rufflet happened." You reply.

"Aaaah." Martha nods as the pieces fall into place for her. "That explains a lot." She admits.

You practically vibrate through the whole meal and when Gareth stands up and you go to join him and Jean, he holds up a hand.

"I think you'll be better served with keeping going with training with Kay O-o." He says. "He can help ground you. I'm not confident I could actually help you right now." He admits.

Let's try spending that aura by trying to imitate the move Protect from KayO.
Otherwise practice our kicking moves.

Probably a good idea to burn off some of this before there's any additional effects.

>>5049641
Imagine getting ambushed with a baseball bat to the face and just shrugging it of like a immovable boulder.

>>5049514

You nod. Gareth knows a lot more about this than you do and if he thinks that you'd be better off training more with Kay O-o right now, then that's exactly what you'll do.

"Hey, mind if I join you?" Martha asks as you release Kay O-o again.

"No, go right ahead." You reply, indicating for her to come on over.

She nods and releases her Dragonair as she comes.

"Might as well take the opportunity to start Dragonair on Dragon Dance as well." She explains. "In exchange, we'll help you out with another move. Sound fair?" She asks.

You keep at it for a while more, demonstrating for Martha's Dragonair.

It's not long before Kay O-o is matching you step for step and soon enough, Dragonair seems to be getting the hang of it as well.

"You're pretty good at this." Martha admits after she's had Dragonair use Dragon Dance a few times by itself to confirm that it has indeed picked up the move to her satisfaction. "Anyway, guess it's our turn to demonstrate." She says, before indicating for you and Kay O-o to stand clear. "Dragonair, use Aqua Tail." She orders. "Nice and slow, so Kay O-o can watch." She adds.

Dragonair obliges and you and Kay O-o watch as Dragonair winds up, its tail glows a deep blue, then it whips its body and tail around.

"It's not all that different to Dragon Tail, really." Martha notes. "So, if Kay O-o knows that, you shouldn't have too much trouble.

"Well, he does, so let's get started." You say, nodding.

For the next half hour, youhave Kay O-o practice Aqua Tail with Dragonair and under Martha's guidance.

It's a half hour well spent and you manage to glean a thing or two from how she goes about teaching moves that you make note of for next time as well.

Kay O-o makes rapid progress, just like Martha promised and by the time Gareth and Jean are standing up and stretching from where they've been sitting, Martha nods as Kay O-o performs his third consecutive Aqua Tail to her satisfaction.

"Okay, I think he's got it." She says. "Nice training with you." She says, holding up a fist in invitation as you see Fie waving you over from the entrance of your tent, clearly waiting on you.

"Same to you." You reply, accepting the fist bump.

"You still feel like a kid on red cordial?" Martha asks.

"No, training must've tired me out." You reply.

"Well, that's good." Martha says. "We should have plenty of time to do more of this while we hike around the lake." She says. "Dragonair and Kay O-o don't have much move overlap, but we can probably figure out something if you want to do this again." She adds.

"Yeah..." You yawn. "Kay's not the only one of my pokemon I couldstand to train more." You add.

"Well, in any case, night." Martha says, waving as she heads for her tent. "Don't let Fie keep you up." She adds with a wink.

She's gone before you can reply.

Left with nothing else to do, you head over to your tent to where Fie is standing she ushers you in, handing you the bottle of lotion, then shrugs out of her shirt, turns away and unhooks her bra before laying down on her sleeping bag.

"So, how'd training go?" She asks.

"Really well." You reply as you squeeze a good helping of lotion into your hands and start working it into her scars, taking the opportunity to practice the massage techniques Gareth showed you a little. You're not as firm as you could be, owing to how tired you feel just now, but with how Fie sighs in contentment, it seems you're doing something right. "Kay O-o's got Dragon Dance figured out and Martha taught him Aqua Tail in exchange for helping her with Dragon Dance." You explain.

"I thought you two might get along." Fie admits, with a yawn.

You're both quiet for a while as you work and Fie gradually grows more relaxed, to the point you think that maybe she's fallen asleep before she speaks again.

"If the others asked, would you do this for them?" Fie asks.

"Huh?" You ask, blinking as you realise you'd zoned out.

"Massage like this. Would you be cool doing this for Jean or Kathryn or the others?" Fie clarifies. "Not for scars or anything, just aches and pains." She adds. "They take really good care of their pokemon, but they're not always as thorough with themselves." She explains.

"Well, I'll let 'em know." Fie replies. "And don't sell yourself short." She adds. You get the sense she's smiling at using the turn of phrase you used on Holly earlier. "If you asked him about this, then you're a real fast learner." She adds, before sitting up.

You look away with a cough.

You hear her shift before she tilts your chin up so you're nose to nose.

"Did you ask him so you could do massage for me?" She asks. There's a hint of mischief in her eyes. She's still completely topless and you dare not look away from her eyes in case the way you look is down again. And it would seem she knows that.

A while later, Fie break's the kiss.

"I did indeed like my massage." She replies, smiling. "Thanks."

"A-anytime." You reply, trying not to squirm as reality comes crashing back in.

"We should probably get some sleep." She notes. "Got a long way to go tomorrow."

"Y-yeah." You agree.

>Shimmy out from under her and go change.
>Let her make the first move.
>Just fall asleep all tangled up.
>Other

>>5051965
>>Just fall asleep all tangled up.
Yeah.....

>>5051965
>Just fall asleep all tangled up.

>>5051965
>Just fall asleep all tangled up.

Not like we'll do anything.

>>5051978
Spooning...
Will be hard to explain if anyone enters the tent tho.

>>5052046
Bruh, this shit has been teased the ENTIRE quest so far. The dude AND the Chicks we are traveling with have been throwing shade our way about it.

>>5051965
>Just fall asleep all tangled up.

You fall asleep to Fie's smile and comfortable weight on top of you, in a state of disbelief as to the fact that just happened.

Sure, Fie's been a major tease pretty much since you met her, but with how she's been trying to push you at the others, you just chalked it up to her being her.

And while she did say she drew the line at making out, the fact that she more or less threw you down to initiate it, sans top, says something rather telling about her feelings on the subject of the both of you.

>Dream.
>Deep sleep.
>Other.

>>5051965
>Just fall asleep all tangled up.

>>5052132
>Dream.

>>5052132
>>Dream.

>>5052132
>Dream.

>>5052132
>>Dream.

>>5052135
>>5052138
>>5052146
>>5052147

You dream. Everything is tinted warm red and you feel comfortable and safe.

Only... what is this place?

>A den.
>A nest.
>A bedroom.
>A tent.
>Other

>>5052235
>>A bedroom.
Honestly, we can't have another type of dream because of the context

>>5052235
>A bedroom.

>>5052243
>>5052267

The scene resolves itself into a bedroom.

"Ooh..." You find yourself looking up at Fie again. "Getting ideas, huh?" She asks, grinning and naked as the day she was born.

This is obviously a dream with how she glows and with how flawless her skin is, but still. Damn.

You look down and sure enough, you're in the same state.

>Uh...
>Wait is that *actually* you or is this a proper dream?
>Hard not to.
>Maybe.
>Other.

>>5052289
>>Wait is that *actually* you or is this a proper dream?
>Are we dreaming in multiplayer right now?

>>5052292

You are dreaming in multiplayer right now.

>>5052289
>Wait is that *actually* you or is this a proper dream?
Lewd.

>>5052289
>Wait is that *actually* you or is this a proper dream?

>>5052295
So this is the true power of aura

>>5052295
Am I getting ideas or are you the one getting ideas and dragging me in your dreams?

>>5052295
For lewd stuff, its better to offsite post with either
>Google Docs
>Try https://write.as/
Or skip it entirely and fade to black

>>5052326

That's the plan. This an edge case, but since nothing's actually happening or happened yet, I figure it's alright for now.

Update in the morning, by the by.

On a semi-related note:

Been meaning to do this for a while, but I'll be posting stuff here for folks to reference and whatnot.

And first and foremost amongst those things:

I'd advise you to abandon pastebin, especially after what they did to lewdbins and other things that weren't even lewd or had "bad words" in them.

>>5052339

First I'm hearing about this. What happened?

>>5052340
Pastebin purged a lot of lewdbins and bins with bad words in them willy-nilly. This was the exact time various porn sites killed off a lot of unverified amateur stuff or not official videos, which is to say an extreme majority of all that they had going for them. Both are directly linked somehow, but I dunno how

>>5052289
>>Wait is that ''actually'' you or is this a proper dream? (Try manipulate the surroundings a bit through imagination like adding a warm fireplace to the wall of the room)
>>Other.
''So Fie you seem to be having naughty dreams as well?''

Right. Textbin it is then. Their ToS seemed pretty reasonable.

"Wait, is that actually you or is this a proper dream?" You ask.

Fie blinks and recoils, surprised.

"...I... guess it's actually me." She says, non-plussed. "Since, if this were a proper dream, I don't think you'd be asking that sort of question." She adds. "Is this something to do with that aura training?" She asks.

"I don't know." You admit.

Now that you actually look at yourself and Fie, you notice that there's no detail around her chest or either of your groins.

"Sure hope you don't have a massive white blur there IRL." Fie says drily as she frowns. "Let's see if we can't change details." She suggests.

You concentrate on a fireplace, in the wall, but nothing happens.

"Hm. Worth a shot. But what the hell?" Fie says. "If neither of us are the source of this, then who...?"

"Um..." You both turn and by the door, standing in a similarly conveniently and comically censored manner to yourself and Fie and blushing furiously, is Holly. "S-sorry." She stammers. "I... th-this j-just... happens sometimes." She says. "I can't do anything about it. It's why I..." She trails off.


>Wait, Holly, are you a Psychic?
>We kind of figured you were Sophia Palm. We didn't realise you were a Psychic though.
>What's going on?
>Other

>>5052926
>"Wait a sec... if all three of us are here, then... are the others here too?"

>>5052926
>Something's not right...
>>Wake up.

>>5052926
>Wait, Holly, are you a Psychic?
>If we are here the others are probably too. We should look for them and Gareth especially since he should know a thing or two about this.

>>5052926
>We kind of figured you were Sophia Palm. We didn't realize you were a Psychic though.
Wait a sec... if all three of us are here, then... are the others here too?"
