THE MISTRESS' FEAST

With the return of the winner of the Fuckfest, the Mistress has formally announced an important and exclusive feast--and decreed that all of her extra-dimensional pets (that means you) are to attend. This news is delivered by the guards, both native to this world and otherwise, who are also tasked with distributing butt-plugs that have the words "Congratulations on not dying of exposure" engraved in their bases.

If you try not to attend, you will be forced into it anyway. It is compulsory on pain of death. Sorry. However, upon being escorted/invited into the great hall of the castle, you are welcomed by a fantastic and bustling scene. Music plays, performers dance, and the smell of food hangs in the air as platters are carried around by servants who take the time to offer portions to each guest. Not to mention the wine! The ambassadors and other guests in attendance are in varying states of undress, but no one is completely naked—and at least those who come close are not sitting on top of the table or anything. There is almost a sense of decorum to this particular event.

At the very head of the table, clad in an extraordinarily expensive-looking set of BDSM lingerie and her horned crown, sits the Mistress. Flanked by two of her highest ranking guards, she laughs and smirks at the chatter of the ambassadors sitting nearby, paying no attention to anyone else except those who have already earned her good graces.

Regardless of your job, you will all be seated all together at the very end of the table, furthest away from the Mistress. Yenh, the fuckfest winner, gets the honor of being at the end, but there’s a lot flowers and statues blocking the view anyway. She's out of earshot for whatever dinner discussions you'd like to have—but her loyal guards, servants, and the less-well-received ambassadors are not.

Once the feasting winds down, the Mistress rises and climbs the steps to the throne at the end of the room. She settles in and only now lays her eyes upon the Kingdom's special arrivals.

"Come and claim your rewards. Don't be shy."

She turns her gaze toward Estinien, the sole person who did not participate in the Fuckfest while it was ongoing, and grins. "You, too."

Once the dinner is over, nothing stops you from milling about to socialize, get caught up in an ambassador's after-dinner sex party, or to just leave with your shiny new prizes.

[ GREAT. ]

[ HERE WE GO. ]

[ Yenh laughs and resists the urge to say "thanks, bye" and turn back to the ambassador asking for a full reinactment of her seduction of the Snow Queen. No, she realizes her bets are better hedged on Kaph. Weirdly. ]

Thank you! [ She offers a shallow bow. ] I'm sorry that you ran into bad luck with your competitors. Better luck next time to you.

Yeah, I had a bit of bad luck, you could say that. [An over-dramatic sigh.] Getting paired up with some really violent weirdo right in my first round...

[ Yenh just shakes her head. That's answer enough, right? She can't attest to Eowyn's talents in bed, but their conversation over the journals had spoken of resilience and courage. Meanwhile, Kaph was... well, she also didn't know him super well yet, but she's sure he's not what he wants to seem like. ]

Say, I feel as though I haven't had a proper meal in ages. Do you always eat this well at the castle?

[... Let him just take a quick look around to make sure the Mistress is nowhere near. He can't risk ruining his... half-decent standing with her.]

Well, I'm sure it's better than what you might find out there, buuut... We apprentices don't often get the really good stuff. It's not all it's cracked up to be, you know.

[ Yenh tilts her head, giving him an amused look. ]

[ In light of all the war and rebellion and opportunism she suddenly remembered seeing and enduring back home, she can't help but speak her mind. She is playful about it, but there are no hints of joking in her tone. ]

Should you come to crave freedom more than comfortable survival, there's always village life.

[If anything anybody's said in the past few days (weeks?) has come even close to hitting him right in the heart, that would be it. Of course he wants freedom. He just wants comfortable freedom, is the thing, the way he's gotten used to - and he's on the path that seems most convenient in order to achieve it.]

Oh, trust me, I don't intend to be her slave forever. I've had enough of being bossed around.

[And THAT is probably the most sincere thing he's said since his abduction.]

[She nods in approval ]

Then you'll be accompanying us to the village once the festivities here are over? I'm certain we can find a clean place for you to sleep! Hells, no doubt the floor of my new home is cleaner than anything.

[ waIT NO ]

[~~yenh what have you DONE, AGAIN~~]

Weeell... Not permanently, I'm afraid. There's still a couple of things on my to-do list before I'm done here. But if you're inviting me over to spend the night...

[He leans closer, smirking, and his voice takes on the most seductive tone he can muster. Which, to his credit, isn't all that bad.]

Then how could I possibly refuse?

[ This is terrible. Why. Why can't she just avoid innuendo around this guy. ]

[ At least he manages not to be a complete slimelord. That's something. Yenh's first reaponse is to giggle, and then to want to kick herself because SAME PROBLEM STOP FLIRTING ]

Don't you have a curfew?

[Clearly, it's all thanks to his animal magnetism.]

Do I?

[... It's not actually clear whether he's just being cheeky or if he genuinely does not know.]

Eh, even if I do... Doesn't an adventurous escapade with a beautiful woman sound exactly like the kind of thing the Mistress would be into? If I get into trouble over it, then I guess she's just a hypocrite!

[ Noooooooooo ]

[ Yenh looks at him with skepticism etched across her features. This, she hopes, is her out. ]

You must have missed the part where she stepped on my head for politely declining to kiss and tell.

[... Yeah, he sure wasn't paying attention to that.]

Well.. Yeah. Because it goes against her gimmick. Sucks, but it makes sense.

[WHY.]

[Okay okay okay. Okay. Yenh sighs. She reaches up and lays her gloved hands on his shoulders, gripping them firmly.]

I only meant to offer you succor if you decided to quit the Mistress' presence.

Truthfully, I've no intention of bedding anyone tonight. All I desire is a warm bed.

[At first, he looks at her like he doesn't quite understand. Then his face takes on an air of disappointment that, for once, doesn't seem theatrical. Maybe it helps that it's tinged with annoyance, too.]

Hey. I get it. Long day, right?

[ Whew. Yenh nods and gives him a gentle smile. ]

Indeed. Even if I weren't so tired, I don't want you aggravate the Mistress unnecessarily. There will be other chances. [ Sigh. ]

And besides- [ She sweeps her arm across the room. ] They no doubt might be interested in you, and you won't need to leave the castle for them. What if I use my popularity to set you up with an ambassador, hm?

Psh, do you think I'm that desperate? [He chuckles, trying to pass the comment off as a joke, but the truth is that it adds just a tiny bit more to those feelings of humiliation that have been looming over him all night.]

I mean... Don't get me wrong. I like to have fun as much as anyone else. But you're special, Yenh.

That's fine, though. [He smiles.] I can wait.

[The shock of that statement strikes her so suddenly that she spends a few seconds just staring at him, mouth agape and wide-eyed.]

[Not that being called "special" is anything new to her, but it was the furthest thing from what she'd expected from this conversation.]

I- did presume you were a lusty fellow, yes.

[It does occur to her that he could be just saying that to get on her good side, and could have been saying that to women all night. But she doesn't know either way, so she doesn't jump wholly to that conclusion.]

[Got her.]

Gee, well... Sorry for giving off that impression. [The smile on his face right now looks downright soft compared to his usual visage.] I guess I can get a bit over the line sometimes... but I value connections over, you know. Base desires.

[She searches his face for any hint of being made fun of or played, and sees none hiding behind that softness. If he's true to what he says...]

[Yenh nods.]

There is nothing wrong with indulging base desires, but if that's truly the case, who am I to push you to do something you mislike?

[She thinks about it. Suspecting she knows the answer, she asks anyway. After all, it seems like she underestimated him?]

Had you won the contest, what would you have asked for?

[For a second, Kaph considers making some sappy bullshit up, just to see how far he can go with this - how far he can just fuck with her. But as tempting as the idea is, he resists the urge. Better to be mostly sincere if it doesn't come at a loss.]

Honestly... My powers. 'Snot like I can't live without them, but it feels like a part of me is missing, you know?

[Good move, Kaph. That was what she expected, and she responds with a nod of her head.]

I understand completely! That is what I requested, as well. A portion of it, anyroad. Truly, I felt rather nude without them.

O-ho. So, what can you do now?

[... That's probably the closest he can get to genuine interest in something that doesn't directly benefit him for now.]

[Alas, she offers him a rather sheepish look. For all that she recalls telling him a little bit about her magic, Yenh hadn't talked much about her divide endorsement.]

It's less a "do" and more a "have."

A blessing.

Ohh? [Now his interest is even more piqued. Magical powers are one thing, but blessings are a step or two above that.]

Well, go on! What kind of blessing are we talking about? Nothing to do with good looks, right? You don't need anybody's help with that.

[It takes some self-restraint not to wink.]

[Despite trying desperately to stop flirting, she giggles at his compliment.]

[At this point, she wonders if she's cursed, and if sleeping with him would put a stop to it.]

Thank you, but no. I am the Goddess of Light's champion, and as such, She extended me the benefits of Her protection. Her power can also offer me insights through an ability called "the Echo." [That's a very general explanation, but going into too much detail just seems unwise... not to mention that she is acutely aware of the fact that that she doesn't fully understand her gifts.]
