Zoo scouting party [Melissa, Jenn, Mina]

[Mamono Assault Force]

( I even thought about that when he signed Sera up, but I'm not complaining, since, as the GM, I'm on the side of the monsters anyway! :D )

Mina nods at Melissa, still feeling charged after all of the amazing sex she had last night, as she fucked both Melissa and Melanie, "I'm ready!" she announced with glee wrapping her arms around Melissa after she returned from grabbing her knife, "I'm with you till the end, Melissa!" she told her lover with pride, both the sound of truth and the sound of vigor in the tone of her voice.

[DeMatt]

Melissa grins back, returning the hug and adding pats on the back to boot.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Eheh, you're always so energetic when we set out... well, let's make sure that 'the end' isn't for a long while yet, eh?"

She looks over at Jenn, looking just a bit uncomfortable as she waits.

"Oh, um, my car is just over there. Let's get going, OK?"

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Hold on just one moment, I need to grab my stuff..."

Jenn runs back to her room and after a moment's thought grabs her rapier plus one change of clothing in her bag.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Okay, I'm ready!"

[Mamono Assault Force]

Although Mina gave slight glances of interest at Jenn, she felt no hunger for sex, and as such, her perverse glances could only be seen if you were looking for them, as she runs across the parking lot after leaving the lobby, occasionally looking back to wave her arms at Jenn and Melissa, "Come on!" she shouted playfully, "It'll be nighttime before we ever even get there!"

She reaches the car, and starts to pry at the door, continuously pulling the handle up and down as she waits for Melissa to unlock it...

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"I think you better unlock that door before she pulls the handle off, Melissa."

[DeMatt]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Ack, don't break it!"

Melissa hastily pops the locks open, opening the driver door for herself. After everyone piles in, she relocks the doors, then starts the engine and drives off.

"Um, keep the windows closed, don't need monsters trying to get in through 'em, okay?"

(Drive to the Zoo. She knows where it is.)

[Mamono Assault Force]

Mina seemed very anticipated during the hour long trip to the Zoo, often bouncing in place in her seat, and looking around inside the car at Jenn and Melissa, as if wanting to find something interesting about them. They passed out of the central town, and soon came to the entrance to the Zoo, only to find the large gates that lead inside chained shut, as they take the nearest empty parking spot.

There was also a restaurant in front of them, which seemed to be apart of the Zoo, as it had similar features to it, mostly due to the animals all over the paintings along the wall, as well as the billboard sporting a black and white panda chewing on some grass., while the name itself of the restaurant seemed smeared for some reason...

All three girls were standing in front of the parking lot, in front of both the easily accessible diner, and the not so easy Zoo. There was a chain and lock holding the gate together, while nothing seemed to stop the trio from entering the Diner.

[thetwo]

Jenn looked at the Zoo gates. Locked. Or they could try that restaurant... but why? The goddess didn't seem likely to be hanging about on the edge of the zoo or the reports would have mentioned that. And even if there was a good reason to go that way, it'd be best to have a quick way back to the car later if everything went ass up.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"I'll try the lock."

(Edit: If nobody objects, Jenn will go ahead and try to pick the lock without further input from me.)
(Edit 2: I'm going to mess around with this post a while and see if I can find a style for identifying Jenn's speech I like better then just quotes. Italics work fine for thoughts but multi-paragraph speech... I feel like I need a better identifier.)

[DeMatt]

Having shut the car off, Melissa pockets the keys by force of habit. She takes a look around the lot, eyeing the chained gates, the barriers beside them, and the restaurant with equal unease. Then Jenn heads up to the gate to examine the lock...

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Wait, hang on... I think we should check the restaurant first. A gate that keeps us out also keeps animals in. And if there's gribblies in the restaurant, I don't want them pouncing on us if we have to run back out of the gate."

She digs out the radio, and after a few moments of uncertainty, flips it on.

"Melissa here. Radio check, alpha, bravo, charlie, over."

(Some observational questions: what are the "walls" of the zoo like (hedges, chainlink fence, brick walls, a moat, or some combo)? Which side of the zoo is the parking lot on (south, north, etc.)? Is there room for the helicopter to land outside (presumably yes)?)

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"These monsters are mindless, they're no more likely to try to open a gate or door then they are to try to open the wall. I say we go straight for the zoo proper. What do you think, Mina?"

[Mamono Assault Force]

A large stone wall seems to surround the south entrance to the Zoo. Unless one had a hook of some kind to latch onto something on the other side, the gate seems to be the only way in or out, while there might be side entrances as well. With the super market style sized parking lot, not only one, but many helicopters could land here, as the parking lot was nearly completely empty, save for two cars...

As Melissa checks the radio, the pilot on the other side answers her, "Don't use the Alpha-Delta shit, I'm not a god damned military operative." he scolds Melissa over the slightly static radio, "So, you at the Zoo? It's locked, right? The little blond girl, Director, said that someone in the Inn who used to work there said that they always kept a key in the Diner for the first people who show up to open it with, back in the manager's office." he informed her, as the Zoo being locked seemed to already have been taken under consideration.

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Well if all that's in there is the key...

Yea, there could be monsters in there, but that sounds to me like a great reason not to go. I mean, I've only been in one building outside the inn that was inhabited since I got here, and there are things roaming the streets as well. There's no hope of us keeping the car area safe while we're in the zoo, so I say we just go in.

I mean, I might not even be able to open the lock, right?

[DeMatt]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Roger. Yeah, but I was, so I got some of the radio habits. Thanks, I think we'll check out the Diner then. Parking lot is empty, just be prepared to avoid the light standards if you need to fly over here. I'll call again once we've something new to report. Melissa, out."

So saying, she starts stashing the radio back in her backpack.

"Well, put it this way. It's true that we can't keep monsters from just wandering up - but that Diner provides a place for them to nest. If we check it before opening the gate, that's one less direction they can come at us from - inside the Zoo while we're checking the Diner, and inside the Diner while we're checking the Zoo. It's not like it'll take too long to check... although that smeared-up sign is kinda worrisome."

Radio securely stowed, Melissa unslings her rifle, checking that a round is chambered.

"So, shall we?"

(I vote Diner first - if we find the key, Melissa'll let Jenn have it, since she's so eager to open the gate. And then Jenn can palm it and practice her lockpicking if she wants.;))

[thetwo]

(I was going to vote "diner not at all" but it's probably not worth fighting about)

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"I've generally found it good practice to avoid nests of monsters when I can, but I guess there might be something interesting in there."

(Proceed to the diner's entrance, carefully)

[DeMatt]

With the decision made, Melissa follows Jenn, already starting to concentrate on what might be seen. In the midst of a barren parking lot, she ought to be able to extend her 'range' farther without getting inundated by auras...

(Action: follow Jenn, activate Divine Sight)

[Mamono Assault Force]

Using her ability to see auras, Melissa looks with her third eye into the Diner, and doesn't see anything inside, and she checks the accountability of this by looking to Mina and Jenn, and seeing both their auras, Mina's was stronger than Jenn's, much stronger, as she was filled quite greatly with both Melissa's and Melanie's essence.

Walking into the monsterless Diner, the three found the setup of the Diner to be quite odd. The counter where people would get beer and watch sports was in the middle of the room, and all of the seats for the people that would come in surrounded it, making the counter the center stage of attention. The staff areas, next to the bathrooms, were at the opposite side of the Diner than Melissa, Jenn and Mina were on. The floor was hard wood, and a great amount of light poured in from the many windows all around the outside of the Diner, ridding the need for any lightbulbs, as their path to the staff area was brightly lit.

[thetwo]

("doesn't see anything inside... monsterless Diner ... quite odd ... [arena setup] ... [goal near a bunch of pipes] ... hard wood [floor] ... path ... brightly lit"

...

We're screwed.

A bunch of tentacles are going to sprout from the counter-area and force us into an arena-style combat on the way out, aren't they? Well, *something* is coming/going through that floor, I can feel it. >.>)

Jenn enters the building warily, not really trusting Mellisa's declaration that the area was empty. Upon seeing the completely empty room, though, she lets her guard down for the time being.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Well, they said the key was in the staff area, right?"

As she approaches the door to the staff area, Jenn carefully searches for traps. (especially any that involve me falling into a pit. Assuming she finds none...) She pauses outside the staff area and waits for everyone else to be ready. Her rapier is drawn and in a defensive stance, just in case something was hiding in there.

[DeMatt]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Well, it LOOKS clear... I guess with no women around, there's no monsters being drawn in..."

She looks up at the ceiling, and down at the floor, trying to tell if there's tracks or other signs of non-human presence. Or if she can sense any auras on the roof or in a putative basement.

[Mamono Assault Force]

Looking around with her supernatural senses, Melissa still finds no life around the Diner. However, upon looking down, she did see a feint amount below them, although it seemed to be moving around, like large vines.

(Intelligence check)

There was likely monster activity in the sewer, Melissa deducted, and based on the movements of the vines, they seemed to be awaiting in ambush...

( Of all things I expected, I did not expect Melissa to look down... :( )

[DeMatt]

(You expected her not to look for muddy paw-, foot-, or leg-prints? :D)

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Woop, hold up. There seem to be something like vines, down in the sewers. They're holding... kinda... still... it might be hoping to ambush us."

She thinks a moment.

"I can't think of anything to prevent them coming up, say through the drainpipes... can you?"

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"We could set the building on fire... but, um, not really no. Are you going to try to get into that office anyway?"

[DeMatt]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Well... if you think you can get that gate open without it... I don't like the idea of baiting those things up here, but neither do I like the idea of just leaving them free to cause havoc. Mina... you did pretty good against those tentacle-things yesterday... what do you think?"

[Mamono Assault Force]

Mina jumps as her name was called, as she was spending her time behind the two girls, eying their bottoms up, which Melissa caught onto, "Uh..." she began with uncertainty, "I don't know... All I know is that they're real soft, and break easy!" she announced with a devilish grin and giggle.

[thetwo]

(Thanks for the help >.<)

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Fine, as long as at least one of you can deal with tentacles reasonably well, I guess we can risk it. You get to be the bait, though..."

[DeMatt]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"That's... not exactly what I was asking about, Mina... you were staring at my butt again, weren't you? Pay attention."

Melissa sighs.

"Well, tentacles in here can't reach out to the parking lot and grab at things there - not easily, at least. Let's go check the gate out - if you can pick the lock, we won't have to try wrestling with the tentacles."

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"I must say that I don't mind this outcome."

Jenn proceeds to lead the others back to the gate and attempt to pick the lock.

[DeMatt]

Melissa follows along, rifle at the ready as she keeps watch, stretching her aura-sense somewhere beyond the gate as Jenn fiddles with the lock.

[Mamono Assault Force]

Mina takes a step back in surprise when Melissa noticed her ogling of her lover's ass, "I-I didn't... I wasn't...!" she tried looking for an excuse in vain, and heaved a sigh of relief upon Jenn's distraction, following her back outside, to the locked gate, where Jenn proceeds to take out a pair of lock pick tools hidden in her hair, and tries picking the lock...

(Lock pick attempt)

Jenn nearly slips up, but her moderate skill with locks saves her from sealing the lock from her, as the lock snaps open, and frees the chains from it's bind. Jenn then pulls at the chains, unwrapping them from the fence, as the large gate could now be moved.

Like a sliding door, to open it, one would push the gate off to the side, rather than move it back and forth like a door. It also appeared very heavy. Two people could move it with little trouble, all three girls could move it with no problem at all, while Melissa or Mina alone would have to struggle a little just to make it budge, as they both seemed to have equal strength.

[DeMatt]

Melissa giggles at her lover's discomfiture, then sobers up as she keeps watch. Jenn's little mutters of annoyance, and then triumph, let her know she's succeeded in unlocking the gate.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Nicely done. I don't suppose we could chain the gate open, could we? If not, we should at least try and close the lock so that nobody can close and lock the gate on us."

Having sensed nothing from beyond the gate, Melissa joins the other two in opening it.

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"It's worth a try..."

Jenn aids Melissa in her endeavor.

[Mamono Assault Force]

The gate just seems to slide into the wall, with the chain, there doesn't seem to be anything to attach the chain to that would prevent it to be closed behind them. The chain itself is not very long, and there is only open space for as far as it will stretch.

[thetwo]

Jenn pockets the lock itself (in her pack, if that's even possible, otherwise ignore that...) and takes a look about the entrance area to the zoo, looking for options.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
There's usually a stand of maps or something...

[DeMatt]

Melissa grins as Jenn tries to pocket the lock.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Won't that be kinda useless until you get a key for it? Though yeah, if we can't keep the gate from being closed on us, we can at least keep it from being locked on us."

Then she joins her in looking around the entry path.

(Time to indulge your descriptive talent, RJ. What do they see? Ticket booths, concession stands, washrooms, a souvenir shop? Trees, benches, other pathways leading off?)

[Mamono Assault Force]

After they looked the chain around the gate, so as to try and prevent it to be locked on them, they look at their surroundings as they enter the Zoo...

They're standing on what appears to be a make-shift road, large enough for a parade to come through. There's grass along both sides of the road, ending at the wall which encases them. There is a building in front of them, it doesn't appear to be for the guests, though, as the only door that they can see is sealed by a metal shutter, operated by electricity, which this place is obviously devoid of. The road divulges in two directions, one going to the right, North, the other, west, and to the left of them. Along the paths are little lamplights along the road, likely for the nighttime workers. The North road only goes for about 25 feet, before stopping at a large, wooden fence, with a door on the side of it, for people to walk through, likely present to make sure any breakouts of animals are easily contained. It looks as if it could be moved, but a method to move it here and now seems non-existent.

The other path, West, leads down a much longer stretch, to another wooden blockade, with yet another door on it. It also branches right, likely to another fence.

Along the path north, there is some kind of stand on wheels, but instead of selling hotdogs, it contained zoo pamphlets. Many of the pamphlets were scattered along the ground, and ripped nearly to pieces by some savage force, though some remained intact, as most seemed to suffer some act of random violence.

Taking some steps along the large hallway like entrance to the Zoo, Mina points out the last thing of interest after she looks to the North path, pointing at a wall unseen by Jenn and Melissa due to the angle. As it turns out, a large hole was in the wall, as if some terrible brute force broke it's way out... Or in.

Mina gasps at the hole, "Damn!" she exclaims, "What the hell could have made that!?!"

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Well that doesn't look good... but with luck whatever did it isn't around anymore. We should very quietly gather up those maps, and take any intact enough to read. One for each of us, then we'll tuck the rest somewhere for anyone who comes after us - radio in the hiding place or something."

[DeMatt]

(Heh... no "deep water" to avoid yet? Kewl.)

The ongoing lack of any auras is making Melissa more confident.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Yeah, good idea, Jenn... I'm gonna take a closer look at that gigantic hole..."

She suits actions to words, stepping further down the path and eyeing the hole and the stone wall around it - not willing to step on the grass just yet, as something that large would've left SOME tracks, right?

(I assume the hole's in the outside wall of the Zoo. How big is it? Human-, bear-, or elephant-size? On which side does there seem to be more debris - inside or out? Scorch-marks on the stones, or was it just broken? Any tracks in the grass?)

[Mamono Assault Force]

Melissa examines what they might be expecting via the tracks...

(Intelligence + notice check)

Melissa doesn't think to look for very many signs that would point out what monster they might be expecting. The hole looks like a monster the size of an elephant made it, seeming to have been smashed open via brute force. Whatever did this was powerful, and very large. The imprint in the grass was very vague to her, as her eyes didn't look very well at what she should be seeing.

[DeMatt]

(I take it Melissa failed that INT+notice check... so much for Acute Sight.:o)

Huh, elephant-sized. Well, I guess an elephant must've made it... maybe when that woman in white wandered in, she panicked an elephant and it broke out here. Oh, well, if it's gone it's not our problem.

So thinking, she goes back to the gate intersection. Depending on what Jenn found, it might be time to call in a report...

[Mamono Assault Force]

( It was mostly the intelligence that messed her up. Even if she had perfect notice and perception stats, they receive a penalty if it's partner stat is terrible. )

As Jenn searched thought the piles of torn pamphlets, Mina assisting her after Melissa had investigated the hole, all she truly found were advertisements to the Zoo's attractions. This Zoo apparently had a wide range of animals, the kinds that could threaten to mutate were many, the most frightening were, horses, hyenas, an octopus, lions, and a large Silverback Gorilla...

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Hrm... I was kinda hoping there'd be a map, but at least we know some of what's in here now. So there's two ways to go, North and West... since we're already here I say we keep going north. And we ought to radio that in so the next group that comes can go West. Or, you know, go North and save us."

While she waits for an answer Jenn takes a look at the hole herself. It really is quite large... could it have been made by - say - a large silverback gorilla? And more importantly, which way was the beast going?

[Mamono Assault Force]

From the position of the debris of rocks and stone, it would appear that whatever caused this was going out of the zoo.

[DeMatt]

Melissa looks over at Jenn, confident in her assertion.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Hah, thought so. That woman in white scared an elephant and it went barging out of the zoo right here. Just gimme a minute and I'll pull out the radio."

She suits actions to words, tugging the radio free from her backpack.

"Melissa here, you there? Over." She pauses for a moment for the pilot to acknowledge.

"While checking out the Diner, we found signs of a monster lurking in ambush. Since we think it was a mass of tentacles in the sewers, and Jenn could pick the gate lock, we left it alone - it can't grab at people outside the Diner, after all.

"So, we've set the gate up so it can't be locked. Inside we've discovered an elephant-sized hole, leading out... I think the woman in white scared an elephant into breaking out of the zoo. There's two paths leading to three doors - we're going to take the North path first, leading to a wooden enclosure. Some pamphlets from a stand are scattered here, listing major zoo exhibits. D'you want them read back? Over."

There's a longer pause while Melissa waits for any comments from the pilot and anyone else on the other end of the radio link...

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"I doubt the pamphlets will be particularly useful. I mean, they could give us some idea of what's in the zoo, but so could common sense. Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My!

Not to mention that judging from my experiences so far none of them will do more then resemble their former selves... "

While she waits for the radio response, Jenn takes a closer look at the barrier and the cart itself, with an eye toward seeing if she could come up with anything to restore the "moving barrier" functionality. Also she looks through the viewing glass.

[Mamono Assault Force]

( Barrier..? Viewing glass..? There's just a wooden fence with a simple door, and a simple wooden stand meant for advertising pamphlets... )

The pilot on the other side was silent for a little while, before answering Melissa, "What the fuck's a woman in white? Is there someone else there in the Zoo with you?"

[thetwo]

(Barrier, blockade, big wooden fence with a door in it... same difference.

"It looks as if it could be moved, but a method to move it here and now seems non-existent." I guess you meant something like a forklift, then. Right then)

Jenn attempts to get a look on the other side of the big wooden fence with a door in it, trying to see through a crack first, then trying to climb up it just enough to see over if that fails.

[DeMatt]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"When she briefed us, the Director said she thought the 'infamous' woman in white was responsible for the strange activity here. Ask her. We haven't seen anybody else, but then we've only been here for a few minutes. Anything else? Over."

(And yes, she does remember that conversation - Photographic Memory FTW.)

[Mamono Assault Force]

The pilot responded to Melissa, "Yeah, that's great, and what the hell are ya talkin' about, 'anything else?' Yer the one tellin' me shit I ain't got a fuckin' clue about." he told her in a blithe sounding voice.

[DeMatt]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Well, gee, and here I thought you'd be passing this stuff on to somebody else - ya know, like the Director? Or maybe anybody who she gets to help recon the Zoo with us? So since there's no questions, we're moving on. Out!"

Melissa starts stowing the radio once more. "Dumbass." A few tugs on straps to close up the backpack, and she stands, looking over to where Jenn is already inspecting the wooden fence.

[Mamono Assault Force]

Jenn's could barely reach the top of the large fence at the height of a jump. Either two of the women would have to boost one another, or they'd have to try the door itself in order to explore what might be on the other side.

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Could you give me a boost, Melissa?"

[DeMatt]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Hold on a minute, I wonder if I can sense anything... I mean, if you get pulled over the wall, we wouldn't be able to follow except through the door..."

She concentrates, bringing that inner sight to the fore...

(Reactivate Divine Sight, if it's worn off. Peer through the wall, looking for auras. If all she senses is on the level of grass, then Mina and Melissa give Jenn a spot to stand on as she peeks over the wall.)

[Mamono Assault Force]

( Perception check )

Melissa peers across the gate with her inner eye, not spotting anything on their particular level of standing, but does happen to see activity coming from below their altitude. She couldn't quite make out a shape, but she does see feint activity from some level below the ground they're standing on.

[DeMatt]

(:D What I meant by "level of grass" was "has the aura-strength of grass"... but that works.)

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Eh? What's that?" At muttered comments from the other two girls, she responds, "I dunno... something below the ground on the other side...?"

(Take a longer look. Look down to see if it extends on to this side of the fence.)

[Mamono Assault Force]

Melissa looks a little longer, it doesn't look like something that's extending, rather, a lone, ball of light, sitting on it's own. If their path kept leading straight north, they'd find that the ball was a little on the right side.

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Well... I guess we just be careful. We're in the zoo now, we have to check it out."

[DeMatt]

Melissa continues staring, apparently at the grain of the wood, for a moment longer, then turns back to Jenn and Mina.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"It's like a ball... sorta... an egg, maybe, or something curled up? It's kinda hard to get an idea of just how big it is, or how far off it is. But it's definitely a little off to the right, and under the ground. So - you wanna peek over the fence first, or work on the door?"

Having gleaned as much information as she can, Melissa waits for Jenn. Whatever Jenn decides now, Melissa will help. After all, it's not like she'll be the first one attacked if Jenn's in the lead...

(:D)

[Mamono Assault Force]

Mina lets out a sigh as the two bore her with their tactics. She walks over to the door leading to the other side, and tries the knob, "It's open!" she announces, before heading through, disappearing behind the wooden fence, leaving the door open.

[DeMatt]

(You meanie, RJ. :mad:)

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"MINA?!"

Melissa hastily shoves through the door, rifle cocked and ready, as the aura of her all-too-impatient lover moves along the path...

[Mamono Assault Force]

( Blah, blah, blah, she has Clown and Showoff drawbacks, what'd ya want me to do? :rolleyes: )

[thetwo]

(Heh, I was pretty much going to do the same thing, really...)

Jenn quickly follows, in a defensive stance, trying to get a good look at the area beyond the fence.

(Oh, and if I'm the last one through, closing the door behind me if I don't see anything threatening)

[Mamono Assault Force]

On the other side of the fence, there was a larger patch of grass extending to the left, before ending at the building, and it's stretch stopping after about 50 feet, to reveal a path forking to the direct West, as if there was a road that circled around the building in the middle. The road continued North, before stopping at another wooden gate, a stretch about 75 feet down from where they were standing. Along their right, was a body of water that connected to the ocean where, by Melissa's sight, was where this little ball of energy was in.

There was also another stand, but this particular stand had no advertisements on it, and seemed to be blocking a path down, where the side of the road ends in a cliff, like a bridge over the water, extending in that little spot enough for some steps to stick out, and lead downwards to the body of the water, so people can view the fish that swim around when humans approach, thinking that they're going to be fed.

[thetwo]

Jenn takes a look about...

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
Deep water... I seem to recall someone hinting that we might wish to avoid that. Besides, the woman isn't going to be underwater. More likely... she's in that central building. Yea, we should take a look at that, then move on. And keep well clear of that water.

"We're supposed to be looking for that woman. And it seems to be the big locked building on our left is probably a good place to start. And, you know, don't wander near the water."

[DeMatt]

Melissa sees Mina there, curiously looking around at, well, not much of anything. She lets out a huff of air, breathing deeply as the burst of adrenaline subsides.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Huff... huff... Mina, please don't do that... you scared me..."

Melissa continues looking around as she catches her breath.

"Okay, not under GROUND, under WATER. Um... but it's not a fish, since it's not swimming around... and it's too big, really, for fish eggs... Don't go down there, Mina, PLEASE? I don't think any of us can swim..."

(Ocean? I didn't know the city was on the ocean...)

[Mamono Assault Force]

( The Zoo is at the edge of the city, along the bay, which is how it's connected to the body of water known as the infamous Ocean. )

Mina turned on Melissa, and started pouting like a child, sounding like one as well as she complained, "Well, you were taking forever!" she said as an excuse.

Mina looks over to the water for a second, then laughs at Melissa hysterically, "You don't know how to swim!?!" she makes fun of Melissa, "That's too funny!" She laughs loudly, her cries of laughter echoing into the air.

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Okay, I don't know about Melissa, but I've lived in the city all my life - there's just no call to go swimming. Also, my opinion stands as it is. We get a closer look at the locked building and if we can't get it we continue north."

[DeMatt]

Melissa gets a little red and flustered at being teased.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Well, the instructors tried... but I couldn't get the hang of it, and I was in the reserves for the Army, anyways..."

Her voice, too, isn't exactly pitched for stealth, although it definitely carries less than Mina's ongoing laughter, Melissa's embarrased glare only setting Mina off more.

[Mamono Assault Force]

Mina walked over to Melissa, and rested an assuring hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry! I'll teach you how, when we get the chance!" she winked at Melissa, showing a little bit of her perverted side as she did, likely wanting Melissa to be wearing a little less than a swimming suit...

Before anyone could say anything else, Melissa's attention was suddenly diverted to the activity of the energy in the water. Not only one ball, but dozens suddenly formed right before her senses, as a hoard of the things were suddenly approaching...

A couple dozen of octopus-like tentacles shot up from the water, suction cups and all, as they seemed to already be locked onto the three women standing in front of the wooden gate they just came through, ready to attack at any moment.

Mina gasped as the things showed up, and quickly looked back and forth between Melissa and Jenn, "What do we do!?!" she asked them in a shout, sounding terrified.

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Um... think of it like this: there's only 8 of them, unlike the tentacles you've apparently battled before"

Jenn looks more closely...

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"No wait, there's more then 8. Run away!"

Jenn assumes a defensive stance and backs up toward the gate...

[DeMatt]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Um... RUN?!"

Melissa tries to dash back through the doorway, grabbing at Mina if she doesn't move fast enough. Jenn, being quicker on her feet, is undoubtedly already through the gate...

(Yeep... dozens of aura-balls = dozens of octopus monsters? Or dozens of octopus monster tentacles?)

[Mamono Assault Force]

( Dozens of aura-balls = dozens of tentacles )

As the three rush for the door, Melissa quickly makes her way away from the tentacles lunging for her, while Jenn and Mina have worse luck, having several of the things wrapping around them, holding every limb down, and lifting them slowly into the air, about 10 feet into the air before Melissa, or even the rest of them, could react.

[DeMatt]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Ohmigod... ohmigod... FIGHT IT!"

Unable to tell which of the rapidly-writhing tentacles is attached to which girl, Melissa picks one at random, aiming as close to the water as she can, before pulling the trigger...

(Attack.)

[thetwo]

(Acrobatics 2, Dexterity 4, Running 3, how could you fail me!)

Jenn Struggles to whip her rapier around enough to cut herself free.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
So many of them, I've got to manage to hit one... and crap, now I'm way up in the air. Oh well, I'll just have to try to roll when I hit the ground...

[Mamono Assault Force]

As Melissa fires at the base of the tentacles grabbing at her comrades from the water, her shot barely missed the thrashing tendrils, but seems to actually hit something, as she notices the large mass of light that every tendril in the air it's connected to tremble with what appeared to be pain, and a little bit of blood emerged to the top of the water.



Mina, using her great strength, manages to stop the tentacles from ripping her clothes apart and revealing her cock and pussy, but can't get the suction cups to loosen, as they seem to pulse with life, as if making sure she can't get away.

"Melissa!" she cried to her lover, "The suction cups won't let me go! Shoot them off of me!" she recommended to Melissa.



Jen could barely move, but managed to work her blade like a saw, and started to cut away at the tentacles holding her, and working into her clothes, cutting one free so that she could swing her blade wildly around, chopping the rest off in succession, as she feel straight down to the ground with a painful thud.

[DeMatt]

(Alas, Mina, I fear that the octopus ain't just holding you still in the air like a scarecrow on a stick...)

Melissa looks up, rifle tracking the movement, trying to follow the coiling tentacles assaulting Mina.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"I can't, it's waving you around too much!"

She jacks another round into the chamber, angrily trying to eyeball down the line of one tentacle she thinks is holding on to Mina, then shooting at its base...

(Attack.)

[thetwo]

(Well, that was a better roll then >.>)

Jenn takes a quick look around at the tactical situation. On the positive side, she was free and her past experience with tentacle-like things led her to believe she was probably pretty effective against these. On the other hand... she had a feeling actually setting foot in the water would be a Bad Idea. She compromised by doing her best to hack at the tentacles holding Mina from as far away from the water as she can get.

(If Jenn thinks she can get at any without touching the water, attack tentacles holding Mina in a neutral stance. Otherwise back up and try to defend herself and Melissa from any oncoming tentacles in a defensive stance)

[Mamono Assault Force]

Melissa's aim was Excellent!

Melissa's bullet ripped through one of the fat tentacles holding Mina, going through it's middle. The main tentacle that was holding Mina gave a shudder, and a loud, "pop" was heard, as Mina fell down to the ground, freed of any tentacle holding her, while the tentacle she shot still seemed to be active.

Not long after her shot, a tentacle darted for Melissa, only to be smacked away by the butt of her gun.



Meanwhile, as Jenn quickly went on the defensive for any oncoming tentacles, a swarm of them quickly overwhelmed her. She was barely able to fight those lunging for her upper body, while a quick, and sneaky tentacle wrapped around her leg, and sent her to the ground with a sharp pull. The other tentacles soon followed, and began encompassing her in their grip, lifting her into the air once more...

[DeMatt]

Melissa lets out a yelp as she swats the aggressive tentacle aside.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Arrgh... shoot one, and two more take its place..."

That first shot she'd taken... it'd seemed to knock the entire monster off-balance. Maybe she could do it again? The rifle-butt kicks against her shoulder as she tracks what she thinks is the body...

(Attack.)

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"There's too many of them!"

Jenn again struggles to free herself with pointy steel.

[Mamono Assault Force]

Right when the tentacles lunge for Melissa, her shot seems to hit something underwater again, and the tentacles stop in place, halting their lunge, as more blood leaks up to the surface of the water.



Mina tries to grab at, and possibly wound the tentacles lunging for her, only to find herself once again, wrapped and caught in it's snare. "God fucking damn it!" she curses savagely as the suction cups lock in once more.



The tentacles on Jenn seemed to learn their mistake, as Jenn's arms were thrusted behind her back, holding her arms firmly in place, as the tentacles work their way into her clothing. Two tentacles started squeezing and playing with her breasts, while two others slipped into her pants, their slimy skin easily pushing inside her pussy and anus, making her skin crawl, and her pussy wet, as she feels the two tendrils moving around deep inside her, raping her in midair.

(Jenn's orgasm status: Yellow)

[thetwo]

As the tentacles find her breasts and begin toying with them, any doubts Jenn might have had regarding their intentions evaporate. She desperately tries to cut herself free again, but this time her arms are forced behind her back and her blade meets nothing but air. Then one tentacle slips between her pants and flesh, coiling around her leg as it upward. Jenn's futile struggle to get free intensified as the tentacle dipped under her panties.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Kill it! Please, kill !"

Jenn's plea is cut short with a gasp as the tentacle finds what it's looking for and unhesitatingly thrusts deep inside her. In the sudden rush of intense pleasure, she doesn't even notice a second tentacle slipping under her panties from the top. She surely notices when that one finds its mark, though. Jenn screams as it shoves itself up her ass and begins pumping in and out. Tears come to her eyes from the pain, and a blush comes to her cheeks from the pleasure and shame. This is the first time anything has ever violated her behind with sexual intent.

After the initial shock, Jenn resumes her efforts to cut the tentacles off herself, fighting back gasps and moans with each thrust.

[DeMatt]

(Huh. Our eight-armed opponents have the ability to strip clothes AND penetrate a victim in one action? Or they can ignore clothes when penetrating?)

Melissa looks up as Jenn gasps. Apparently the tentacles she sent recoiling aren't attached to the ones assaulting her - or the ones assaulting Mina, for that matter. Three monsters... they'd have to be dealt with one at a time...

She returns to her own target, to see them rearing up to strike, and sends a bullet flying at the body in the hopes of sending it packing once more...

(Attack.)

[Mamono Assault Force]

( The tentacles slipped into her pants, but didn't destroy them, instead choosing to slip into her and begin draining her essence. )

Melissa's shot was Mind-Boggling!

As Melissa's bullet rips into the monster better than she could have even known, using her mind's eye to guide her, she notices the large ball of energy show what she thought was fear. All of the tentacles hanging in the air suddenly dropped whatever they were doing, including the process of raping Mina and Jenn, and retreated into the water. The large ball darted away quickly, and disappeared from Melissa's vision, leaving Jenn and Mina to fall to the ground, freed from the rapist monster in the water.

Mina was laying on the ground, leaning her head up to look down, confused about what had just happened, as she lay on the ground, panting, catching her breath.

[DeMatt]

(Gee... maybe Melissa should stick with that .22 rifle, rather than trying to get ahold of an M-16. She's been SO lucky with it...)

The sudden end to the battle leaves Melissa uncertain that the monster really ran away.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Mina!? Jenn!? Are you alright!?"

Melissa cautiously advances towards the two, rifle still aimed out over the water, eyes and other senses probing for any sign the monster's still lurking nearby.

(Did the monster flee, or hide?)

[thetwo]

(Quick question on stimulation - does it get reset now that the fight is over or does it stick around until an orgasm?)

Jenn groans as her body hits the ground for the second time (how long is a round of combat, approximately? The traditional '6 seconds'?) and she's much slower in getting up. After a few seconds, though, she fights through her body's various conflicting protests and stands up. Her cheeks are clenched together and she looks flushed, but both fade as she stretches a little to loosen up while looking away from the other two girls so they can't see her face.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
Ugh, I can feel that thing's slime every time I move my legs... at least it doesn't seem to be like that aphrodisiac...

"I think I'm alright. I mean, nothing broken at least..."

[Mamono Assault Force]

( About the monster, GM stuff only, tis classified. ;) )

( About thetwo's questions, Orgasm is the only stat you do not need to rest to have it recover. It regenerates every turn based on the actual value of the stat when your character is not engaged in sexual stimulation. )

( As for time, every turn is considered to be 15 seconds, while certain actions taken out of combat cause more time to go by depending on how long the task usually takes. )

Mina angrily gets up from where she fell, and starts stomping her feet on the ground, pounding her way to the water, "I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch!!!" she shouts loudly, stalking towards the water, with intentions of actually diving in, wanting to pursue and finish off the tentacled beast.

[DeMatt]

(Argh. Okay, revised question: did the aura Melissa was watching fade away due to distance, or did it just dive deeper and vanish? So yes, it could be trying to circle around outside of Melissa's view...)

As Mina starts cursing and stomping, Melissa dashes forwards, freeing a hand from her rifle to try and grab her shoulder and stop her.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Mina, DON'T! It might be trying to bait you into the water, so it can drag you under and hold you there till you stop fighting! I don't know about YOU, but I certainly can't breathe under water!"

[Mamono Assault Force]

( The aura Melissa was watching faded away due to distance. The monster can't circle around, as it can only attack from the East, due to there being land to the North, West, and of course, South. )

Mina cast a frustrated look at Melissa, "But-!" she started in protest, "-But we can't just let it get away! We have to kill it, so it can't come back for us!" she looked out into the water, "I saw blood, and I think that it's running away to lick it's wounds..." she casted her opinion.

Melissa slowly started to see Mina's bright aura fade, as she felt her third eye close...

(Melissa's Divine Sight has worn off)

(Jenn's orgasm status: Green)

[DeMatt]

(Devil's advocate note: real-life octopi are known to be bright and strong enough to climb out of their own fish tank and into nearby feeder tanks, in order to get at the feeder fish within. Our mutated opponent might be even more durable.)

Melissa transfers her one-armed grip from Mina's shoulder to around Mina's back, hugging her reassuringly. Phooey on the slime still glistening on her shirt.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"I know, but even wounded it's stronger and faster in the water than you could be. I'm not even sure where it went, after it got out of my sight." She gives her a tight-lipped smile. "Tell you what, if it does come back, and then we scare it off again, you hold onto its tentacles so it can't run away through the water, okay? You're so strong, I bet if you're ready, it'd never be able to pull its way free."

[Mamono Assault Force]

Mina brushed some of her brown hair off of her face, and gave a vicious smile at Melissa, "Fine, but if it does come back, I'm not lettin' it get away again!" she declares, clenching a fist in the air, trying to show off her muscles. They weren't big, but for a woman, they were very decently sized.

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Okay, if everyone's ready now shall we continue to the next gate?"

[Mamono Assault Force]

Mina chuckled, and quickly rushed behind Jenn. Both of her hands started squeezing her breasts playfully as she mocked her, "Hee, hee!" she cackled, "You look a little flustered! Those tentacles show you a good time?" she laughed.

[thetwo]

Jenn remembers the feeling of first one, then the other tentacle sliding into her and her blush returns with a vengeance, then molts briefly into anger as she elbows Mina in the stomach enough to make her let go.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"They raped me!"

Her anger fades a little. It wasn't Mina's fault.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"In the.... front, and in the ass as well."

Jenn squirms uncomfortably in her pants, still able to feel the slime between her clenched cheeks, but not as badly as before.

[DeMatt]

Melissa, about to yell at Mina yet again for being too forward, pauses.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Um... if you'd rather not continue, you know we can radio out for the helicopter to come and pick you up..."

While she says this, she swings her backpack onto the ground, pulling replacement cartridges out and feeding them into her rifle while she waits.

(Reload rifle (ammo count: 10 in rifle, 16 in backpack))

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"No, I'll keep going. I'm just a little bit, um, sore. In more ways then one. Can you look past this gate too, or give me a boost to look over the top?"

Jenn approaches the northern gate and takes a good look around for anything different while she waits for an answer.

[DeMatt]

Melissa finishes reloading and puts her backpack back on, leaving the radio tucked away. She does pull the knife out and tucks it into a pocket for easier access.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Okay, then, if you're sure."

Following Jenn, Melissa takes a look down the west path as she passes the intersection, her "inner eye" becoming easier to use with every try, then through the fence as she comes up to it and rests a hand against its solidity.

(Reactivate Divine Sight, look west, look north through the fence.)

[Mamono Assault Force]

Mina lets out a, "Oof!" as Jenn elbows her. Recoiling from Jenn, Mina takes on a look of shame and embarrassment after the elbow, "I was just playing!" she makes an excuse for her behavior, holding her gut in her hands.

Using her sight again, Melissa detects some energy over to the west, and is unable to determine exactly what kind of monster the auras of energy might represent, but their size is about that of a large dog. She also detects signs of life to the North, but these were much smaller in size, and seemed relatively spread out, unmoving, as if waiting in ambush.

[thetwo]

(Jenn uses her amazing temporal powers to take actions before hearing Melissa explain what she saw in order to save time later!)

Jenn takes a peek through the door to the north to see what kind of terrain it is.

[Mamono Assault Force]

As Jenn walks up to the door, she notices two things; It's locked, and a sign on the side of the wall on her left indicates that this way leads to the aquarium. Upon looking at the lock on this door, Jenn notices the lock is quite a good one, and might be difficult to pick...

[DeMatt]

Melissa frowns on sensing auras to both north and west.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"The Aquarium? Might be some fish or something, just floating around... that octopus might also consider this its home, so it might've fled here. There's some more stuff westwards, too... dogs? Or maybe wolves?"

(Is there a fence to the west? Can we see far enough to see the path bending south around the building?)

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"The brochures mentioned hyenas...

The aquarium, though. You'd think that'd be safe, but I guess we have to think about squid, octopuses, and seals without even thinking about anything that might attack us were we to fall in the water. And I can't swim either.

Ugh, I don't really want to go either way, but I'm not going home empty handed."

[DeMatt]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"It wouldn't exactly be empty-handed... you did get the front gate open, after all. Well, much as I'd like to go west and face off against those... yeah, hyenas could fit... and stay dry, I'd rather go north. Try and finish off that octopus monster if it fled in here."

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Well... yea, why not. That building to our west looked like it was sealed up tight, and North feels like more progress. Maybe there's even only one way out of the aquarium and we can tick it off as 'scouted'."

Jenn approaches the door leading to the aquarium area, and slowly opens it.

[Mamono Assault Force]

From what the three could see, the path west was very similar to the first part of the zoo they saw, a stone wall blocking it in, a fence with a door, and seemed to be the road that leaded West then North when they first came in. Given that the fence to the West was already up a ways, and the fence was pretty high, the left side ending at the main building in the center of this road, they couldn't see much beyond it.

Trying to open the door again, Jenn notices once more that it's lock, ramming face first into the wood, thinking it wouldn't be there. She wasn't hurt, but her pride was when Mina started laughing at her, "Do you forget that it was locked! Ha, ha, ha!" she mocked her.

Getting out her lock picks, holding both tools in her hands, she feels around the lock, finding it very difficult to pick...

(Lockpick check)

Before she could even feel a tumbler, her tool snaps, and the lock seals itself from her, the only way to open it now would be to find the appropriate key...

Looking at the door knob above the lock, the group takes notice of the strange looking diagram on it.

(Intelligence check)

Jenn makes the conclusion that the diagram must represent the appropriate key needed to unlock the door that she could not open.

[DeMatt]

Jenn's not-so-muffled curse lets everyone know what just happened.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Well... I guess that decides it for us. West it is."

She starts leading the way, eyeing the hyena auras with suspicion, giving her face an odd absentminded look as they walk.

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"So, we have a diagram indicating which key we need to use. I wonder if..."

Jenn looks up at the fence. If it is the type of fence that it's possible to climb over (i.e. there isn't a rock wall above or something like that I didn't notice >.>) she tries to climb over it.

(If it's not the type of fence you can climb over of if she fails, she follows Melissa, grumbling)

[Mamono Assault Force]

( It's just a path, like a road where people visiting the zoo would walk. One person could boost another over the fence, but that person would be left on the other side, unable to reach the two that went over, as the door is locked, and unlocked, with said key from both sides. )

The three walked to the west door, and walked through it. As they stood on the other side, it was the same story, the middle was a road, and there was grass along the high stone walls, slightly overgrown due to how many days it was likely unmowed. Directly to their left was where the road forked again, but only went as far as 20 feet before meeting a dead end, where the entrance to the building they've been walking around was, steps leading up to the building ended at a pair of double doors. Directly in front of them, was another long stretch of road, going on for about 75 to 100 feet, and forking left(South), back down to where they came from. There also seemed to be a door at the corner of the road as well.

Along the road, were three normal looking hyenas. However, as each of the animals saw the three girls, they immediately stood up, and their faces seemed to split into four pieces, as if ripping themselves apart, as their disgusting insides glinted brightly in the sun.

(Fear check)

Both Melissa and Jenn went into shock from the horrible, repulsive sight. They felt their bladders release themselves as they were sent into utter shock from the sight, soaking their pants and panties with embarrassing urine.

All three girls soon realized they needed to act, as the animal's heads returned to their normal state, and prepared themselves to charge at the girls...

(All characters may act. Melissa and Jenn have been afflicted by fear)

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit"

Jenn backs up slightly, trying to get her back against a wall, and goes into a defensive stance.

[DeMatt]

(Um... EW, at the hyenas. And now Melissa's all smelly...)

Melissa finds herself shaking, scared as she hadn't been by all the unearthly monsters before, at these seemingly normal animals showing such a disgusting sight. She slowly raises her hands defensively, rifle quivering in front of her.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Ohmigod ohmigod... ew ew gross... gun, shoot, get 'em away from me..."

The muzzle coming into view reminds her that she can shoot at things. And so she does - though the jittering sight might just send the bullet anywhere...

(Attack the nearest one.)

[Mamono Assault Force]

( Yup, this creature's ability is to induce fear via the rather repulsive method you just witnessed. ;) )

Mina easily dodges to the side as she stood fearlessly against her attacker, but quickly looks over to her lover, Melissa, who appeared to have soiled herself in fear, "Melissa! Watch out!" she shouted. Mina leaped through the air, and collided with the hyena in mid-pounce, as the two fought with each other on the ground for a short time, before Mina grabbed ahold of it's head, and gave it a sharp twist, killing the creature instantly.

In fear, Jenn only raised the tip of her rapier at the monster, and by some strange miracle, the blade goes right through the leaping monster's head, piercing trough it's brain, killing it instantly.

The last dog, suddenly overcome with fear at the loss of it's two comrades, darts off quickly, running along the road South at a quick pace of retreat.

[thetwo]

(Are we un-afflicted by fear, or does that last longer?)

Jenn somewhat mechanically cleans her blade off on the fur of the creature, and realizes she's wet her pants.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"That... wasn't quite as bad as I thought it'd be."

Jenn takes a brief look at the body of the thing, ready to look away at any moment if she's too scared still.

[DeMatt]

(BWUH? I guess Mina really did get to be the hero, this battle. And Jenn more than made up for flubbing her dodge last battle.)

Melissa lets out a most cowardly shriek as Mina tackles the hyena in mid-pounce, her rifle quivering as she just manages to keep from jerking the trigger and sending a bullet into the melee.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Aaah, aaah, ohmigod, ohmigod... die, gross, make sure it's dead..."

As Mina stands up, victorious, Melissa shoves the muzzle up against the corpse's head, and pulls the trigger. At least with it not moving, she's not likely to miss.

(Shoot the one that Mina killed in the head. I don't care that it's already dead, she shoots it anyways.)

[Mamono Assault Force]

( Fear lasts for about 15 seconds, up to a minute, I let ya know when status effects wear off. )

The animal that was in retreat disappeared under the building, hiding under a vent, leaving a cloud of dust behind it as it crawled it's way to safety.

Mina started waving her hand across her face, backing away from Melissa and Jenn, "Wow, you two really let yourselves go!" she taunted them with a snicker, "Okay, that was pretty freaky, but you didn't have to piss yourselves... It wasn't that bad..."

[thetwo]

Jenn looks over at Melissa and sees the telltale dark blotch on her pants. Wetting her pants at a couple of deformed heyenas that turned out to be no threat was still embarrassing and uncomfortable, but she felt a little better knowing she wasn't the only one.

(Hey, does that have any actual gameplay effect or do we just get to smell bad until we change?)

Jenn remembers that she packed a change of clothing, but the thought of being naked even for a few seconds in this place is disquieting. Plus there's been no obvious place to change since the bathrooms in the restaurant and those were infested with tentacles.

Since she still really doesn't want to face that last hyena, Jenn wanders to the door at the corner and takes a good look at it and down the street wrapping around the central building.

[DeMatt]

Melissa gradually gets her breathing under control, as the third hyena disappears.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Y-you've never seen the Alien or Predator movies, have you? Oh... right, you don't remember anything more-or-less from before, um, this all started."

She mechanically thumbs a new cartridge into her gun, as she looks around the area.

(Reload rifle (ammo count: 10 in rifle, 15 in backpack))

[Mamono Assault Force]

( It's just embarrassing, and also clouds your sense of smell a little. )

( Jenn and Melissa have calmed down, recovering from fear. )

Mina went silent at Melissa's question and statement, giving her lover a look that obviously screamed, "Shut up!" desperately, trying to make Melissa stop talking about anything that might make Jenn discover her cock before she could properly explain it, and hopefully get the girl to understand... And maybe even something else.

Upon looking at the North Door at the corner, Jenn found that another familiar symbol was etched on the knob, suggesting that this was locked as well, while a look south revealed the road going south all the way until it reached about halfway along the building, where another wooden fence lie in wait.

[thetwo]

(Hrm... there's no way Jenn could climb over with climbing (1)? And I suppose this is another one I'd fail to pick... IIRC this means there's only one area we've yet to go and it leads (probably after another encounter) to the storage area.)

Jenn sighs and knocks tries the handle to make sure it wasn't left unlocked or something.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Ugh, they closed this place up tight after they left. I guess we go left..."

[DeMatt]

With her fear gone, Melissa now has time to notice less immediate things... like her wet and smelly underwear.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Oh, gross. Er, um, that was really brave, Mina... I think we'd best follow Jenn, okay?"

She suits words to actions, looking cautiously about with both eyes and inner vision, peering through the north-leading door when she gets there.

(Question: how wide is the grass to the south? Is the west wall here the edge of the zoo?)

[Mamono Assault Force]

( Directly south of the door the three came from, there is no grass, but after following the road west, the road south along the walls has grass that's only three feet wide, not taking up a lot of space. Also, nup, not the edge of the Zoo. )

Mina scratches her head at Jenn's announcement to go left, "Umm... Left?" she asks, looking at the fence along the north wall, all the way at the west side, then the building whose double door lead inside, then looks dumbfounded at Jenn, "What left?"

[DeMatt]

(I'll just assume Melissa didn't catch sight of any auras to the north.)

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"I think Jenn means, take the path to the south. Although the only new area, really, is the one we saw to the west after we'd entered the main gate. So... let's get a move on."

Melissa strides off, walking a bit stiffly due to her uncomfortable underwear.

(Lead the party to the south fence. Look through it with Divine Sight, on the off-chance something moved into that area while we circled around the other side of the central building.)

[Mamono Assault Force]

Looking over to the North door, Melissa caught sight of a large amount of auras, but upon following a particularly large aura, she noticed she was looking at a tree, and made the deduction that beyond that door lies so much wildlife that the plants would cloud the auras of any foes with their own. While looking south made Melissa blink with surprise.

She saw an unmistakable shape. Her third eye made very clear, the shape of a nude man, who appeared to be walking West. The vision of him was very blurry, as Melissa was unable to determine what he looked like, but he seemed to turn his head in her direction, as if looking back at her, then quickly looked away, and ran towards the west gate they saw when they first came in, and quickly vanished from her sight.

Melissa didn't see anything else.

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Well, lets keep going..."

Jenn continues with the party through the southern gate back into the entrance area.

[DeMatt]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Works for me. If that really was a man, I want to know how he's still alive out here, how he saw us - and if he's connected to the animals mutating."

The group continues southwards through the gate, ending up at the west gate as Melissa tries to spot the man's aura.

(Mapping question: does the west gate line up with the north-south stone wall to the north of it?)

[Mamono Assault Force]

( Yes, it does )

The three noticed the fence in front of them had a door that was unlocked, and proceeded through it, back to the first area they started in, and was quickly led by Melissa, who was following the man, to the wooden gate along the west wall he apparently went through.

Walking through the door, the other side held a continued road, that seemed to stretch on to some kind of highway out of the zoo, before the bridge was somehow destroyed. While the bridge before them seemed to stretch over a river of water, not a 25 feet distance from the door they came through was a path of stairs downwards along the north side, seeming to branch off from the road in front of them, and led to another, smaller bridge, which continued West for 75 feet, before branching off again, to the doors of a warehouse. This little area was very complex, and seemed meant for a couple trucks at a time to deliver whatever it was they were delivering.

Only a little bit further from the path of stairs down, was a truck, it's back doors wide open, with a brown haired man with a slightly long pony tail looking in, examining it's seemingly unimportant contents. He quickly turned in shock when he heard the three girls approach him from behind.

In one quick motion, before anyone could speak, the man, seeming to be very young, about Mina's age, drew the sword which was strapped to his back, seeming poised ready to fight them, as Melissa felt, and saw, his aura grow incredibly, brightly, and threateningly...

[thetwo]

(He is naked, right?)

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
Lets see, 'who are you?' Stupid question, I won't know his name. 'Why aren't you dead?' Either, 'because I didn't let anything kill me' or a lie. 'Where do you sleep at night?' a little too personal... Ah!

"Hello. We're from Apple Inn, and we're investigating reports of strange activity at the zoo. Could you help us out a little? We just need some information."

Jenn doesn't draw her rapier and avoids looking at the man for any length of time, but keeps her hands free and is ready to draw if he looks like attacking...

[Mamono Assault Force]

The man, contrary to Melissa's visions, was clothed, although barely, with clothes that looked like they used to be very good looking, torn greatly, with many scars along his body. He looked like he'd been through hell and back.

The man shakes his head as soon as Jenn tries to speak with him, "Fuck off!" the young man shouts, "I'm not gonna listen to your bullshit again! You cock wielding freaks can burn in fucking HELL!!!" he shouted, and seemed like he was on the end of his rope, as he took a fighting stance, his eyes were darting from each girl fearfully, as if worried about how he was outnumbered.

Whether or not Jenn and Melissa looked, Mina was blushing heavily at the young man with the pony tail, revealing that she was obviously attracted to him. He caught on to this, and was only more threatened.

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
This guy might be more then a little crazy... or maybe he ran into some of those futa women too...

"Woah, slow down. Just about everything we've met has seemed very much, um, cock wielding... but we're girls. No cocks. See? Look, we'll stay over here, just tell us where to find the keys to the aquarium or arboretum and we'll leave you be."

Jenn pulls down her pants for a moment, revealing the panties underneath and showing enough skin that it ought to be pretty obvious she isn't a futa.

(And now hope Mina doesn't try that?)

[Mamono Assault Force]

During Jenn's reasoning, she was inturrupted again by Mina walking past her and Melissa, her face lust-driven, staring directly at the man, "I-I don't know why... But I want you so bad..."

Without warning, Mina suddenly darts for the man, and he barely could react to her speed, or her skill in unarmed combat, as she quickly disarmed him, his machete blade falling away from him, as she wrapped her arm around his arms and body, while using her other arm to hold his face so that she could place a passionate kiss on his mouth, drawing away for only a second to confess her undying lust for him, "I want your cock inside me... I want all of your wonderful energy..." she whispered lustfully, one hand going down to his crotch, and playing with his slowly stiffening cock.

The man took on even more fear, as he struggled against Mina, only finding her strength was greater than his own, "Let me go!" he shouted, "I didn't come this far to be raped by you freaks!"

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Mina, what the hell are you doing!?"

Jenn tries to pull Mina off the man.

[DeMatt]

Busy being awestruck at the man's aura, Mina's sudden shift in behaviour takes Melissa by complete surprise.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Mina! MINA! Get ahold of yourself!"

She, too, jumps on top of the pile - except she's targeting Mina, trying to grab onto her so she can pull Mina off the man... even as she's trying to ignore the interplay of energies right in front of her face.

(I take it the man's aura flared up way larger than Mina's or Jenn's? And does Mina's aura still suggest she's well-"fed" from last evening?)

[Mamono Assault Force]

( Yes, the man's aura is more powerful than both of them, tantamount to Melissa's own aura. And yeah, Mina's still "well fed". ;) )

Though Mina protests, she is yanked away from the man. And, as soon as he found himself free of Mina, he darted away, leaping down the steps leading north, and running as fast as he could towards the warehouse looking building, proceeding west along the smaller bridge.

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Great, now you've chased him off. Well, lets go find him again. And this time we'll try to seem less threatening...

Melissa, if we catch him would you mind keeping a hand on Mina?"

[DeMatt]

Where Jenn speaks in an undertone, Melissa responds in a normal tone of voice, mainly because the answer's obvious.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Yeah, I'll keep my hands on her. IF we manage to catch up with him, the way he's running now."

After Jenn moves off, following the path the man took, Melissa looks down at the still-protesting Mina.

"You know, Jenn's gonna want to know why you suddenly declared undying lust for the guy. And she might even connect it with his 'cock-wielding freaks' comment. You want to give up your secret, just for a taste of penis? I can tell, you're still shining with what you got from me and Melanie... isn't that enough? Aren't I... good enough for you?"

Melissa hugs her tighter with each sentence, her voice getting unhappier as she rambles on.

[Mamono Assault Force]

With the others not chasing him, the man quickly makes his way to the warehouse doors, and with a sharp swing of his sword, slices the chains holding them shut, and makes his way inside. Sounds of him barricading the door from the other side are heard as soon as he shuts the door, making sure the three don't follow him.

Mina's eyes suddenly change in appearance, as if she had just woken up from some kind of trance, and blinks shamefully, and confusedly at Jenn and Melissa, "I... I didn't... I wasn't-I..." she stuttered as she was barraged with accusations. When Melissa whispered to her, Mina shook her head with denial, "N-no! It's not like that! I don't know what came over me... Once I looked at him, I felt like I lost all control... I would have given anything to have his cock inside me... But now that he's gone... I have no idea why..." she admits, as she follows Mina down the steps, to the locked door.

As soon as they reach the door, Melissa quickly looks for another way in, looking down from the bridge they were on, she notices sewer water below them, and sees a little gap in the wall, large enough for all of them to fit through, and seems to lead into the building. There was also a ladder along the east side of the bridge, same side as the gap, which they could use to climb down, into the water, and then climb into the hole.

[DeMatt]

Rather than try and run the guy to earth, and have to subdue him, Melissa tries yelling through the door.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Hoy, now that you've locked us out, maybe you'd be willing to talk?"

(There's a few men in the Inn... I take it either Mina never ran into one of them, or they didn't trigger her lustiness?)

[thetwo]

Jenn tries to talk the man into opening the door, but doesn't have much hope.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Look, I'll ask her to keep away from you, I just want to talk! Come on, just help us find those keys and we'll be on our way! You can even stay on the other side of the door if you like!"

(edit: "There's a few men in the Inn... I take it either Mina never ran into one of them, or they didn't trigger her lustiness?" - that or it's the 'inspired' part)

[Mamono Assault Force]

( Mina just never saw them. )

Based on how long it took them to reach the door, compared to how long he's been on the other side, the fact that he did not answer the girls led them to believe the man was long gone, at the very least far enough where he couldn't hear their words.

Mina sighed, "I think he's gone..."

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Well, I guess we take the 'scenic' route..."

Assuming nobody disagrees, Jenn moves to put the ladder in place and climb down it.

[DeMatt]

(Rats. Out of audible-range, out of aura-range, doesn't this guy want to rebuild civilization?)

Melissa gives the water a suspicious look.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Given what the last patch of water gave us, I don't really want to go near that... The radio - we should report in before going further."

She moves back to the zoo end of the footbridge, getting onto solid land before starting to yank the radio out.

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Good point, but this appears to be the only way in, and we've explored just about everywhere else..."

Jenn backs off the 'entrance' for now and takes a look at the place where they first found the man, taking a look at whatever was so interesting.

[Mamono Assault Force]

Before Jenn went off to examine the van, Melissa pointed out that she remembered the man was bent over, as she remembered catching a glimpse of him holding a radio, similar to their own in his hand, only smaller. Melissa supposed they had caught him in a conversation.

[DeMatt]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Maybe see if he dropped his radio - then we can take it back to the Inn and try talking to whomever's on the other end."

Melissa finishes setting up their own radio, and starts talking.

"Melissa here, you there? Over." She waits for the helicopter pilot to respond before going on with her report. "Okay, so this part of the zoo seems to center around a building - call it Administration, we haven't been inside it yet. When we decided to go north last time I called in, it was on the east side of Administration. We found a kind of lake, that turned out to have an octopus monster hiding in it - we frightened that off, but it might come back. Continuing north from there, we found a locked door leading northwards to what we think is the zoo aquarium - that door needs a special key.

"Going west, we ran into a trio of... call 'em hyenas, they were... really disgusting - their heads split open like blooming flowers... ah, um, there was a double door leading southwards into Administration there which we didn't check. Continuing west, we found another locked door leading northwards, we think into the zoo arboretum.

"South didn't reveal much of anything till we got to the southwest corner of Administration - we ended up chasing a man through the west gate and into a warehouse area. He barricaded himself inside the warehouse, but there's a truck with some ordinary-looking stuff he'd been examining. We're going to check that out before we try and get inside the warehouse he's hiding in.

"Pass that on to the Director and tell me if she's got any requests or comments, please. Over."

[thetwo]

Jenn continues on to the van, hoping to find his radio anything else interesting or useful he might have had.

[Mamono Assault Force]

The three girls didn't find anything unusual about the zoo van, mostly empty mind for a large cage meant for holding a large animal.

The pilot suddenly responded to the girls after some time, sounding distressed, "Jesus, the Director's flipping out after you mentioned a guy there, just- HEY!" he shouted, as the Director herself seemed to take over on the other side.

"If that man was a young boy with a pony tail, you need to secure him immediately!" she demanded in an urgent tone, "I'll explain everything later, but ensuring that boy's safety should be your top priority, do you understand me!?!" she shouted at Melissa through the radio.

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Well... she seemed a little bit panicky. I guess we leave his stuff for on our way back. Tell her we're going already... we'll have to brave the sewers."

(Honestly we'll probably be fine against tentacles unless we get unlucky. Jenn's met them twice before and while she didn't stick around to kill them, she did seem pretty effective against them when she had to fight. Just have to hope I'm luckier with dodges then against the octopus)

[DeMatt]

Melissa is abruptly glad she's on the other end of a radio link from the Director. At least here she can lean back from the shouting and keep her hearing...

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"He did indeed have a pony tail... and he was young, younger than me... but I dunno whether we'll have much luck with keeping him safe! He called us 'cock-wielding freaks' and pulled out a machete when we first approached him... and then, um, Mina got a little, um, reckless - and he ran into a building and barricaded himself in. Um, over."

She looks helplessly over at Mina.

"What the hell am I supposed to say to her!? 'We can't keep him safe because one of us goes into a trance on seeing him and will rape him silly'?"

[Mamono Assault Force]

Melissa, Jenn, Mina:

The Director shouted at Melissa angrily, "Stop talking and get a move on, you fool! Time is not a luxury you have right now!" she declares, angry at Melissa.

Mina, detecting the urgency of the situation, shakes her head, "I'll try to hold it back, but it sounds like this guy might be in trouble... We've gotta help him, whether he likes it or not!" she declares, not waiting for Jenn and Mellissa, as she darts for the path of stairs leading back down to the warehouse, looking about to leap down into the sewer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aya:

As Joseph searches the cameras in the entire zoo, using his handy little gadget he got from Katey to power it, he smiles at what he sees, "Yes... I found her..."

He happily grabs his sword, checking it in it's sheath, "All I have to do is kill her now... He, he, he!" he chuckled, but suddenly turned when he heard sounds of liquid coming from the east, from the large maze of cages, the top, wooden parts of them hiding Aya's white hair. He stood motionless, as if to hide himself, unaware of Aya's eyes looking directly at him...

[DeMatt]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"All right, we're going! Melissa out!"

Melissa doesn't bother picking up the radio. Either they'll be outside again in short order, or somebody will have to come pick up their remains. Concentrating as she follows Jenn and Mina down into the sewer channel, she tries to sight the man with her inner eye...

[BurntToast]

(( Things were a bit vague so if Aya wasn't in direct line to fire at the boy tell me so I can edit this. ))

Aya only looked at the young man with the pony tail for a moment before taking action. She didn't pay mind to where she was or what was going on, she only focused on the man in front of her. Without thinking much, acting on her want to kill this person after hearing what the goddess said, she aimed her 9mm handgun at him. Her weapon pointed at the boy Aya aimed and fired, her gun directed at his chest area.

* Aimed shot. *

[thetwo]

Jenn follows Mina toward the sewers, not wanting the party to get spread out over too large an area, and remembering the Director's urgency...

[Mamono Assault Force]

( Fer the sake of such, the group brings their stuff with em, as the water channel only goes up to their knees, not putting their gear in danger. So, the radio's still wit ya. ;) )

As Aya raises her gun, the man (Joseph) somehow knew she was there, and ducked under the stone railing along the sides of the upper level he was on with seemingly inhuman speed, using it as cover as Aya hears him laugh at her, taunting her, "Why can't you freaks just fuck off!?!" he shouts, "Just wait till I show you who you're fucking with!"

Aya hears something like a clink, and sees something fly into the air above the man. She hears a loud "BANG", and found that a flashbang had been used on her, blinding her, and making her ears ring for quite some time. When she had recovered, she found that the man had escaped through the door on the north side while she was stunned...

Aya also hears vague sounds coming from somewhere behind her, either monsters, or people, she didn't know, but something was behind her, and the man was trying to escape.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Following Mina, Jenn and Melissa climb through the opening, worming through it like a vent, and eventually find themselves inside some kind of storage room for cages which they used for keeping and transporting the zoo animals safely, the whole room was littered with large cages, larger than where they stood, and seemed meant for carrying large lions, lain about in the room in such a way that they formed a simple maze leading up to some kind of stairs leading up to the north west side of the room, where a door going north, and various, now unpowered computers lie.

Upon climbing up, Jenn and Melissa seemed to see Mina looking to the middle of the room, regarding something strangely...

[thetwo]

As she climbs out of the water, Jenn draws her sword, not sure how to interpret Mina's expression.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"What is it? Melissa, do you 'see' anything?"

[DeMatt]

(I assumed the radio was significantly larger than a walkie-talkie, and needed setup and takedown before it could be used. OK, if you say so.)

Already a bit on edge from the Director's yelling, the bang that comes as they're squeezing through the hole makes Melissa jump. So seeing Mina eyeing something after they enter the warehouse is even more worrisome.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"I-I don't see anything, just yet... Mina? What is it?"

Melissa scans the area, rifle tracking her sightline, while she waits for a reply.

[Mamono Assault Force]

( Nah, it's a hand held device, which is why the Director so easily placed it on the table from under the desk, it only weighs a pound. )

[BurntToast]

Aya felt a bit dazed and confused after the flash bang, her eyes tearing up a bit and her ears ringing as she fell down onto her knee's, gritting her teeth in pain. Recovering from the eye burning and ear ringing sensation that the man had caused Aya wiped her eyes off as she took a deep breath, feeling herself calmed down now instead of angry and violent, her mind was clearer now. Upon looking at the details of the big room she saw in a bit and recollecting herself and slowly shook her head as she began to walk north to try and pursue the man

Aya stopped dead in her tracks when she heard sounds behind her. She couldn't tell what was causing the noises, perhaps it was monsters about to attack her! Aya quickly turned around and attempted to see what was causing the sounds, her 9mm gun not pointed in the direction.

[Mamono Assault Force]

( Be sure to activate Aya's shield before she's attacked, or the battle might be over sooner than ya think. >.> )

In one split second, everyone in the room suddenly identified each other. Aya noticed the three emerging from some kind of hole, and the group of three became aware of Aya as Mina shouted, "I-It's that woman!" she shouted, "The one the Director talked about! It's her!"

With that, Mina took on an offensive stance. Although uncertain, she seemed ready to attack Aya...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Running out of the storage area, Joseph was in the observatory of the stage area, where they would have a lion come out of a hole to perform. He quickly made his way to the ladder leading down to where the audience would sit below, sliding down and hitting the gravel hard.

He looked around for a second, and saw a door leading to the north west, towards his destination. He smiled in success, looking up at the observatory, through the windows, seeing that the woman wasn't following him, "Heh, that flash bang worked better than I thought! But, I don't have much time before she starts coming after me again, I've got to hurry!"

With that, he darted for the door...

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"What, the woman in white? Here?"

Jenn runs up to beside Mina where she can see the woman, and notices right away that something doesn't seem quite right. She didn't get much time to stare at the goddess before the lights went out, but this woman... didn't seem to be her.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"I... don't think this is her. I mean, she's a woman in white, but not the woman in white."

Jenn calls out to the girl more loudly.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Who are you? What are you doing in here?"

(Edit: muahahaha I went first!)

[BurntToast]

(( Is Mina naked? ))

Aya felt a bit of confusion when the three women emerged from the odd hole. When one of them shouted about her being the "One" someone who went by " The director" talked about Aya felt more confusion. Who were these woman? Who was the director? Feeling threatened and confused Aya took a slow step back as she kept her eyes on the three lady's.

Her voice confused and suspicious Aya spoke to the three as her eyes met with Mina's who seemed... Different from the other two.
http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1630" Who are you three? What do you want with me..? "

As the girl waited for a reply Aya, still feeling threatened, started to focus and began to create a barrier. When the red haired woman began to question her and mention a woman in white Aya felt the threat of being attacked get greater. She kept silent or the moment and didn't answer...
* Aya creates a 100 point barrier *

[DeMatt]

(Awww... did ya HAVE ta tell BurntToast ta put da Divine Shield up afore we started shooting? I'd been hoping he wouldn't...:D)

Melissa drops to one knee, leveling her rifle at the near-monochromatic woman in front of them.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"WE'RE here to find out what YOU'RE doing. So... why ARE you here? Why did YOU mutate all the animals?"

She's ready to put a round through the woman's chest at the first sign of an attack.

(Everybody's dressed.)

[BurntToast]

(( You know Dematt, I'm not an idiot. I would of had Aya put the shield up if Raptor hadn't of said anything. ))

Her confusion only slightly growing at the mention of mutated animals Aya spoke, her voice showing her confusion at the blue haired woman's statement.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1630" Mutate animals? What..? "

All Aya knew was she was here to drain or kill that boy who had thrown that flash bang at her. These woman seemed like a threat, if they made a move against her she would have to drain them.

Her voice now a bit annoyed Aya replied to the woman.
http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1630" I don't have to tell any of you anything. "

Feeling her barrier about up Aya wondered if she should just run for it instead of fighting all three of these woman. Aya was quick, she might be able to make it without problems.

[thetwo]

(Is the shield visible?)

[Mamono Assault Force]

( To Melissa, yes, she can see Aya's barrier. But to Mina and Jenn, who are using normal sight, they don't know Aya threw up a barrier. )

[DeMatt]

(( You know Dematt, I'm not an idiot. I would of had Aya put the shield up if Raptor hadn't of said anything. ))(One can hope... after all, it would've made the upcoming fight SO much easier, if all it took was one hit to send Aya packing... :p)

Melissa narrows her eyes as the woman gestures, her aura shimmering as it somehow extends outwards and enfolds her in a scintillating display of energy.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"'Don't have to tell us anything'? Do you even have a NAME? Are you even human?"

Her rifle does not waver from the white-haired woman's chest.

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"You don't know about mutant animals? There's no way a woman in this city survived the last week without running into them. Look, for some reason there's a bunch of mutant animals around raping women, and somehow impregnating them and using them to rapidly reproduce. I don't know how you got here without meeting any, but as long as you play nice I'm sure you'd be welcome at one of our safehouses...

But in the mean time, you can stay out of our way. We're in here to rescue a young man who's apparently important. Haven't seen him, have you?"

Jenn doesn't really trust the look of this woman - something about odd red eyes doesn't feel innocent - so she keeps her rapier out and in a defensive stance, but doesn't make any aggressive moves.

[BurntToast]

(( Aya's eyes don't glow. ))

Not taking much of a liking to the blue haired woman or her hostility Aya ignored her questions and shifted her attention to the red haired woman with green eyes. Unlike the others she didn't seem to be shouting out accusations or threatening her. Aya didn't know what to say to her, she didn't want to admit to attempting to kill or harm the young man, that wouldn't be good for her if she did.

Her voice plain Aya responded to the red haired woman and her comment on being allowed to come with them if she "Played nice".
http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1630" I'm not interested... Please tell your companion to put her gun down so I can move on with my business. "

Aya waited for a reply.

[Mamono Assault Force]

Joseph quickly made his way past the market area, running through the pair of fountains on both sides of him, his shoes clicking against the tiling on the ground, until he was in between two lion statues. He looked from one statue to the other, and pulled out his radio, and clicking it on.

"Hey, it's me," he announced, "I'm in the market area, and I think I've lost those freaks that were following me,"

The girl on the other end sighed with relief, "I'm so glad to hear you're safe, Joseph," she said with relief in her voice, "So, have you seen any sign of her? Or was this really just a trap?"

Joseph sighed, not thinking this was actually a trap, because if it was, it was a poor one, "I don't know where that woman is keeping her, and she doesn't seem to be here..." he trailed off for a second, then picked back up when the girl on the other end didn't reply, "The city's obviously clear, what with those herms walking around, and I'm beginning to think this zoo is as well, which leaves the residential district,"

"Hmm," the girl thought aloud over the radio, "Joseph... You know we're running out of time... If we don't stop the God from being born-"

"Ain't gonna happen, not as long as I'm breathing, that is," he interrupted her, heaving a sigh, "Alright, I'm gonna search around the rest of this place, then I'll head back, alright?"

"Okay, be careful," she told him with concern.

Shutting the radio off, Joseph let out a sigh. He pocketed the radio in his pack, and continued at a walk, going north through the market district...

(Joseph is about to escape, both parties will fail their objectives if he gets away)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aya suddenly felt a pain in her head, and was forced to cup her forehead in agony, as she heard the Goddess's voice in her head...

"Pursue the boy, you fool!" she cursed Aya, "Pay no heed to the ignorant sinful! Make haste, or we all will pay a heavy price!" she warned her.

[DeMatt]

(Joseph is about to escape, both parties will fail their objectives if he gets away)(Oh, for pity's sake... the only player character present who has ANY IDEA Joseph getting away is a bad thing is Aya. Nobody actually knows where he ran off to after he flashbang'd Aya, aside from "not to the east". How're we supposed to go catch him? Is he gonna double back through this area on his way out?)

Even as the albino winces and puts her face in her hands, Melissa keeps her rifle on target. After all, she could be faking injury, in an attempt to catch them off-guard.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"And just what IS your business?"

A slight noise catches Melissa's attention, and she glances over to the side to see Mina edging around the woman. Thinking it's to get to a flanking position, she inwardly smiles as her focus returns to the woman in her sights.

(Or maybe Mina's decided she's gonna raep Joseph after all - and when she takes off, so does everybody else? :confused:)

[BurntToast]

Aya's head felt painful as she suddenly felt the goddess mentally speaking to her once more. Aya slowly felt her head start to hurt less. Looking at the three woman and the gun the blue haired one held she decided she couldn't wait any longer, she had to make chase to the boy. There was a risk of a bullet smashing into her barrier right now but it was a risk she had to take.

Quietly, Aya whispered to herself.
http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1630" I... Don't have time for this... "

To the three woman's possible surprise Aya suddenly bolted from her spot and began running as fast as she could to follow the boy.

* Aya runs and gives chase to the boy. *

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Ugh, again with the running away..."

Jenn follows everyone else out of the room.

[DeMatt]

Being kneeling, Melissa is slowest to follow when the albino woman abruptly darts away.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"What the- come back here!"

Still, she starts pursuing the woman with the rest of the group.

(Ohhh... kay... and the chase is on.)

[Mamono Assault Force]

While Aya darts away, it didn't take more than a couple seconds, and Jenn was right on the albino girl's heels. While Melissa and Mina kept up along the back, all of them finding themselves to be faster than the strange girl.

After walking into the observatory, and going down the stairs, the three were lead by Aya who was being told by the Goddess where the boy was. They quickly ran through along the dirt ground, going north west for about 25 feet, until bursting through a pair of double doors, and into the market area, where gift shops and restaurants were located.

The four were standing on the south east side of the area, which was organized strangly. There was a bridge looming over water below, stretching north and south evenly, as well as paths that went to either side of it, along the edges of the bowl-like area, where all of the shops were.

The four could see Joseph on the opposite side of the area. He had some kind of strange device in his hand, and appeared to be doing something to a terminal next to a large shutter. A loud beep was heard, and the shutter slowly started to ascend up, which would allow Joseph entry after a short time.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=115&pictureid=1684

(I apologize for the horrible skills I call, "my art" But, bare with me. The blue dot is where Joseph is, and the red dot is where Aya, Mina, Jenn, and Melissa are)

[BurntToast]

Still darting as fast as she could Aya found herself in a situation that required fast thinking. She could run directly at the boy and take him down that way... But her shot would have less chance of hitting him and he might just throw another flash grenade at her if she went straight at him.

Instead of charging through the middle straight forward path Aya quickly went and took the right path. She continued to run, gripping her handgun. For some reason Aya felt she had to shoot the device the boy was holding...


* Aya takes the right path to Joseph.When getting in range she does an aimed shot at the strange device he's holding. *

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Hey! Watch out!"

Jenn, seeing Aya raise her gun, tries to disrupt her aim with a shove.

[DeMatt]

(Aya's the slowest person? We'll just kinda casually jog along behind her until we all run into Joseph again. :p And I, for one, will "bear" with you, because somehow I don't think you'd like it if I "bared" with you. :p)

Melissa gives a shout as the pursuit gets into view of the ponytailed man.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Hey, MISTER! The Director said us three were to keep you safe!"

Choosing a path almost at random, she moves onto the left path, hoping her quicker footsteps will carry her to the man before the albino gets there.

(Move towards Joseph along the left path.)

[Mamono Assault Force]

As Aya raises her gun slowly to take aim at the device in his hand, she doesn't even notice Jenn coming up behind her, as the red head suddenly sees stars as she runs face first into some kind of invisible wall, landing on her back, stunned from running into Aya's shield.



As Aya takes aim, her bullet goes straight into the device in Joseph's hands, who backs away from the now destroyed device, as the shutter suddenly slammed shut, denying him exit from the four women after him.



Joseph seemed to boil with rage, as he drew his sword, as if about to fight all four of them, "Why can't you just fuck off!?!" he shouts, and as Mina and Melissa run up on him, Mina suddenly tried to latch onto his sword arm, and was met with a hard punch to her forehead. Mina stumbled back from the pain, and landed on her rear, holding her head from shock.

(Mina's stamina status: Yellow)

With Aya, Jenn, Mina, and Melissa on all sides, Joseph stood with his sword in hand, the side of the blade along the right side of his face, ready to strike at any who threatened him.

[thetwo]

(Oh look, my cunning plan to foil Aya's shot failed completely but totally coincidentally let Jenn know that Aya does indeed have a shield like the goddess. >.>)

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
Hey, that shield... I've only seen it one other place.

"Hey, this girl might not be the white one, but she's got the same magic shield as her! It'll go down if we hit it enough!"

Jenn makes her deeds match her words, and strikes out at the girl with her rapier, hoping to damage the shield quickly.

[BurntToast]

Aya had to make a split decision then. She knew the red haired woman was charging right at her and was going to attack her shield, even worse she had blurted out the fact that she had a barrier and more then likely the blue haired woman and the other person were going to start attacking her. Aya thought that now would be a good time to take these girls down, to summon her red tentacles and drain them. However if she did that there was a chance the boy would escape and she would fail her master. Aya quickly aimed her 9mm handgun at the boys chest. If she missed this shot and the three woman began bashing her shield then she was going to have to fight them. However she was going to have to hope that luck was on her side and she managed to kill the boy.


* Aya does an aimed shot at the boys chest. *

[DeMatt]

(Great, Aya's actions can't be disrupted...)

The double bang as first the albino's gun fires and then as the man's device sprays sparks, makes her intentions clear...

So Melissa doesn't waste any more words on her, instead swinging round to put her rifle on target and squeezing the trigger. With her halfway down the left side, her back to a wall, the man at the far end, and the hostile woman across two open pools, she should be able to pick her targets without worrying about dodging - and put bullets where they'll do the most good.

She does, however, yell at Mina.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"MINA! Get away from that idiot! We need your help over here!"

(Attack Aya - aimed shot at her chest.)

[Mamono Assault Force]

Joseph almost saw it coming. Aya's aim took place right at his chest, and he only just moved far enough out of the way at his abnormal speed, both Melissa and Aya noticing him glow brightly, as if blessed by some holy force, as he moved just enough so the bullet was far away from his heart.

Aya's shot ripped into his shoulder blade, as Joseph fell down, his body hidden by the stone sides of the bridge in the middle, out of Aya's view, as he gripped at his wound in pain, letting out moans of shock, as blood oozed from the wound.

(Joseph's Health status: Bleeding badly; in severe pain)



As Joseph lay in pain on the ground, Mina ignored Melissa's orders after Aya shot him, and quickly hurdled herself onto him, quickly making sure she was under the cover of the stone sides of the bridge before taking out her medpack, and whispering to Joseph, "Shh... Take your hand away, I'm going to make the pain go away, make it better!" she told him. Joseph did not obey, so she had to easily remove his hand, as she quickly dabbed a numbing agent onto his skin, and started to bandage the poor wounded boy after disinfecting the wound, and using an ointment to stop the bleeding.

(Joseph's Health status: Slight blood loss; Mild pain)



While Aya's attention was on Joseph, both Melissa and Jenn had free reign to attack at the white haired menace who shot Joseph.

Jenn charged in, and while Aya managed to back away from the assaulting red-head's charge, her rapier managed to graze along Aya's shield, causing her spell to shimmer a little from the attack.

Meanwhile, Melissa was taking careful aim, and placed a well made shot at Aya's heart. While it did bounce off of the shield, just like Jenn's attack, with her divine vision, she could tell she put a hurting on Aya's protective shield.

(Aya's shield status: Yellow)

[DeMatt]

Melissa winces as Joseph lets out a groan and drops out of view, then she sees the white-haired woman's shield flicker wildly under the impact of her bullet.

Heh... so magic shields don't like bullets much.

She works the rifle's action swiftly, and with a fresh cartridge chambered, squeezes the trigger...

(Attack Aya - aimed shot at her chest.)

[thetwo]

Jenn notices Mina's interaction with Joseph, but doesn't want to draw attention from it and so stays silent on the matter. If Mina's making trouble, it can be dealt with later.

Instead, Jenn slows her attack a bit, trying to stay off to one side so that Melissa can get clear shots in, and waiting a moment for a good opportunity to attack.

(Attack in Neutral stance, stay out of Melissa's way)

[Mamono Assault Force]

(Aya summons a red tentacle, and uses 10 essence to command it to grapple Jenn)

Before Melissa's aim could lock onto Aya, the white haired, demonic girl quickly got down, ducking behind the very stone railing that hid Joseph, out of her sights, as she called upon one of the red tentacles she had remembered using before, as it flew out from her back, not even ripping her clothes, strangely emerging from them, as it lunged for the slightly defensive Jenn...

While Jenn had experience with fighting the Goddess, she had already expected some freakish red tentacles to come lunging for her, and almost dodged it, only to end up finding it coiling around her body like a snake, as it yanked her closer to Aya, in preparation for who knows what...

(Aya is hiding out of view from Melissa, but her tentacle is viable)



With Joseph alive, breathing, and healthy, Mina gave a sigh of relief, ignorant of what was happening around her, as she found her lust for the male boy growing again. Her hand began to slowly run up and down his chest, while her other went for his pants, unbuttoning them slowly...

Joseph started to recover from the shock, and gave a start as he saw what Mina was doing. He immediately tried to push her away, but found himself weak, his arms trembling as Mina easily held him down, and started to pull out his cock... Her own was stiffening with excitement as her, "Monster side" took over, wanting to absorb this man's energy...

[DeMatt]

(Ohhh... shit. All Melissa can see visually is Jenn with a red tentacle wrapped round her waist. The auras tell her where everybody is, but not what they're doing - and just 'cuz she can see through the railings doesn't mean she can shoot through them...)

Melissa stifles a curse as the albino drops out of view, then snarls it as a red tentacle waves up and lashes out at Jenn.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Crap, that bitch is grabbing Jenn!"

Not willing to try shooting the tentacle off of Jenn, she gets up from her shooter's stance and starts circling around the room, trying to get around the obstructing railings quickly.

(Move. Continue to Joseph's location, then go past it to see down Aya's bridge.)

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Oh shit!"

Damn, I'm not having luck dodging things today... well, lets see what I can cut off

Jenn tries to keep her feet firmly under her while trying to cut off the tentacle wrapped around her.

(Action: attack tentacle)

[Mamono Assault Force]

and just 'cuz she can see through the railings doesn't mean she can shoot through them...

(Hehehe, thick stone. >.> And my vocabulary lacks the word that describes them, "half walls" I suppose... I R Dum... :()



(Aya added 18 essence to the red tentacle's strength, and payed 7 essence for upkeep)

Jenn felt the tendril around her body stiffen, as it's grip suddenly grew crushingly tighter, making sure to hold Jenn in place, as Aya already knew her friend was coming to save her, and she didn't want her fresh catch getting loose...

As Melissa quickly strode over to where the two were, Jenn was brought down to Aya's level, and the white haired girl's petite hands worked quickly at the red head's pants and panties, slipping them off in one motion, at least getting that step out of the way, before turning to Melissa, who was coming to the rescue, putting Jenn right in the line of her fire...

(After taking off Jenn's pants, Aya commanded the tentacle to move Jenn between Melissa and herself, preventing any direct fire, without some kind of counter measure...)



As Mina finally brought out what she wanted, she was about to remove her own pants to that she might mount Joseph, before the man with the pony tail suddenly rushed at her, knocking her over to the ground.

After quickly reaching over for his gun, Joseph slowly brought himself up, his gun arm clamping onto the side of the railing, holding his head above it, as he caught sight of the bitch that shot him. Forgetting all about Mina, he wanted a piece of revenge, as he queasily started to aim at the white haired girl, now exposed as she faced Melissa, using Jenn as bait...

[DeMatt]

As Melissa passes by Mina, busily trying to fondle Joseph, she growls in annoyance and snarls at her.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Mina... fight first, sex when we're all safe!"

She's in too much of a hurry to accompany the statement with any sort of slap, so when Joseph bullrushes Mina and knocks her down, she merely gives a thin-lipped smile and continues on her way.

Unfortunately, her haste is for naught - the albino notices her approach and hastily swings Jenn around, using her body like a shield even as she tugs off her underwear. Still, Melissa drops to one knee and levels her rifle. Either Jenn will be able to pull herself out of the way, giving Melissa a clear shot at the woman, or she'll be held still and Melissa can try splattering a tentacle...

(Attack as described - line up on a still chunk of tentacle, if Jenn manages to move then take a quick shot at Aya, otherwise shoot said chunk of tentacle.)

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Hey.... HEY! The hell are you doing!"

Jenn realizes she shouldn't be surprised to feel a breeze washing over herself again, but she's never before had a peaceful conversation with one of the monsters before started trying to rape her.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
And speaking of trying to rape me...

Jenn makes a renewed effort to cut the tentacle holding her before it can take the next step...

[Mamono Assault Force]

While Jenn struggled futilely against the thick, red tentacle's grip, unable to move anything except her legs, which she could hardly do anything with, Melissa took her expert aim, and placed a well made shot on the thick red tentacle, ripping right through the base of it, causing fleshy chuncks to burst forth from it. But, that wasn't enough to even shake it's resolve, as it's grip was still tight on Jenn, seeming to be ready to hold the red head in place for Aya until it's body could no longer do so.



Using Jenn as cover, Aya poked out from the side of her, and took aim at Melissa with her 9mm gun, aiming to shoot the rifle out of the blue haired defender's hand, which she accomplished, as her bullet smacked against the rifle just right, so that Melissa lost her grip on it, as it was sent flying across the plaza, landing some distance near Mina and Joseph...

With a victorious laugh over the Goddess's enemies, Aya kneeled down so that her head was hidden behind the thick stone, so that Melissa couldn't take aim at her, knowing it'd take the blue haired woman some time before she could return to fire at both her, and her tentacle, as she brought Jenn down as well, commanding the tentacle to force Jenn into a bent over position, leaving her pussy exposed for Aya to pleasure...



Meanwhile, just as Joseph was about to fire at Aya when she was standing, Mina slammed into him, shouting, "NO!" under the assumption that he might shoot Melissa, holding him down to the ground in an attempt just to stop him from hurting anyone, but didn't mind rubbing on him a little, the perverse mind mixing with the human one...

[thetwo]

As if there was ever any doubt, Jenn now knew what the odd girl's intentions were. As she was bent over, stripped naked from the waist down and bound, her body began responding to what it knew was coming. Jenn frantically struggled with her entire body now, trying to get her sword arm free while also trying to kick frantically at anything trying to approach her suddenly wet sex.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Please! Please don't rape me! Please! Help!"

(Action: struggle to get free)

[DeMatt]

(Jesus Christ, which side is Mina ON!?)

After the albino shoots her rifle out of her hands, Melissa's eyes automatically track her gun - which means she's looking right at the man as Mina tackles him down. Again.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"MINA! LEAVE - THE MAN - ALONE! Grab my rifle - and bring it here!"

Hands stinging, she yanks her knife out of her pocket and charges at the tentacled woman...

(Attack with her combat knife - whatever she can get at fastest, probably the tentacle holding Jenn in place.)

[Mamono Assault Force]

(Hehehe, Mina has low intelligence, so I'm playing the part of her having no idea how to make a good decision! ;) Plus, from where they are on that little map I showed you, it wasn't clear from her perspective just who Joseph was aiming at, so she feared for Melissa's safety.)



Mina's attention went to Melissa just long enough for Joseph to pull a punch, and have it land against the brunette's temple, causing Mina to give a shock, before falling over, unconscious on top of the man with the pony tail.

Heaving a sigh after finally putting the horny futa out cold, Joseph crawled over, keeping his head down, and trecked over to Melissa's rifle on the ground. He picked it up, whispering, "I'll take that-" and started attempting to sneak away, trying to get away from the fight, unseen, back towards the entrance to the plaza...

(Aya failed to notice Joseph sneaking away)

(Melissa failed to notice Joseph sneaking away, but did notice Joseph knock Mina out)

(Jenn, somehow in her current situation, managed to hear Joseph's faint footsteps trecking away from the fight, and realized that he is attempting to flee...)



Aya smiled, and nearly laughed at the sight of the little knife. She pulled the tentacle and Jenn around her in such a way that Melissa was forced to attack Aya herself. While Melissa's slice was well placed, she barely made the white haired demon's shield tremble from the cut, and actually smiled at how insignificant Melissa's attack was.

As Aya smiled at Melissa, she drew Jenn closer, and unbuckled her pants, letting them fall to the ground, and then a green tentacle forced it's way out of her pussy, pushing Aya's cute little pink panties down with the pants.

While Jenn herself was unable to escape still, the red red gave a start as the green tentacle from Aya's pussy shot forth, and pierced Jenn's sex. As soon as Jenn felt the tube-like green horror inside her folds, she immediately felt the erotic draining sensation, only this time, it felt a little more powerful, and a little more erotic! As the tentacle began to fuck Jenn wildly, it was all the red head could do to not immediately cum from the otherworldly sex she was receiving...

(Jenn's orgasm status: Red)

(Jenn's mental status: Orange)

[DeMatt]

(Oh, fer GOD's sake... Tac analysis: Mina's out. Jenn's going out this turn. Joseph stole Melissa's only effective weapon and is running away. Without it, Melissa's not gonna be able to beat Aya's shield down unless she stands there and lets her hack for an hour or so. Recheck alternate option for previous turn: Jenn gets raped out in two turns as is currently occurring. Melissa reaches a firing position in time to have an initiative battle with Aya - Melissa's shot versus Aya's grab. Mina still gets KO'd by Joseph, as Melissa still shouts at her to help Jenn. Overall prediction: Aya wins the fight, draining Jenn, then Melissa, and maybe sucking Mina off too if she feels like it, but loses the battle because Joseph runs off. Commentary: Melissa's been yelling at Mina to stay the fuck away from Joseph since he first punched her. Mina made a better decision when she patched Joseph up, but has otherwise been jerking off - sometimes literally. Joseph is a REAL backstabbing bastard - he ain't listening to anything ANYONE says to him. AAARRRRGGGGHHH.)

A thump and a groan announce Mina getting knocked out by the man. A squelch and a gasp announce Jenn getting raped by the woman. A bellow of rage announces Melissa going berserk.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!"

Quick as the albino woman is, Melissa's quicker - and utterly enraged. She lashes out at the tentacles, hewing and chopping at whatever she can reach.

(Attack with her combat knife - in order of priority: green tentacle, red tentacle. I severely doubt Aya's quick enough to yank Jenn away from Melissa AND rape her in the same turn.)

[thetwo]

(Geeze, I did better against the goddess then against Aya...)

As something forces itself between her folds and starts fucking her harder then anything she'd ever felt, Jenn tried to focus on anything but the growing fire between her legs, and found herself realizing that Joseph was walking away. They were supposed to stop that... but then again there were more pressing concerns.

The intense and rapidly building arousal she feels at the intrusion of the green tentacle pushes Jenn nearly beyond the limits of coherence, her cries for help fading to grunts and moans as she feels a massive orgasm growing with each thrust. Every ounce of will she has is poured into the increasingly futile effort to prevent that, as she knows what will happen if she blacks out now, while she's being raped...

(Action: resist orgasm, if that's a valid action. Otherwise struggle to get un-penetrated)

[Mamono Assault Force]

(Meh, the Director did a lot of damage against the tentacles and Goddess, plus everyone just kept hammering her, and I didn't use any tactical strategies when fighting with her as well. Plus, Joseph and Mina are going at it, meaning Jenn and Melissa are left to deal with Aya alone...)

(As well, the red tentacle is like another enemy all together, mind the fact that it travels on Aya's back, so multiple tentacles, up to four, could attack every character in the party. Watch out when Aya's fully charged! :eek:)



As Melissa tried to rage past Aya in order to save Jenn from her rape, Aya got right in her way, bringing the green tentacle out of Jenn, and let her shield open up enough to let the blue haired woman inside, and wrapped her arms around her, as Aya brought her down to the ground. Melissa suddenly caught on that Aya is better at hand to hand combat than she is, as she was brought down to the ground.

The tentacle coming out of her back still kept a tight hold on the squirming Jenn. The red head was hardly able to move around after such a quick, and yet unbelievable fucking, as she was forced to spend her time breathing heavily, trying to catch her breath...



As Joseph finally reached the exit, he casted one last glance at the battle going on, looking to see if they noticed him leaving, when he couldn't help but blink at what was going on.

"They... Really are fighting amongst each other..." With the confusion and adrenaline running through him, he didn't think of much beyond fight or flight, and didn't even consider that each of those girls weren't on the same side, trying to get him. His eyes shifted away for a moment, wondering if assisting would be a good idea, as he still didn't know whether or not both sides still wanted the same thing...

"Shit, I suppose I owe you, but after this, I'm gone," he whispers, as he lifted the rifle in his hands, and took aim at the easily seen tentacle on Aya's back, and with the second shot made on it so far, Aya's tentacle could withstand no more, and seemed to dissipate into dust, freeing Jenn from it's grip, and letting the sexually worn red head fall to the ground.

With his dept to them allowing him to escape repaid in his mind, Joseph motioned for the doors leading out, not wanting to meet any of those girls, ever again.

[thetwo]

(So... Mina's KO'd, Melissa lost her gun and is grappled inside the shield, and Jenn is on the edge of orgasm, while Joseph is leaving... well, that's a little better then last turn but we're still fucked, aren't we? Well... one last try to see if we can fix that.)

Jenn pulls herself back to her feet, all too aware that she's still massively aroused and in desperate need of release, but also aware that if she gives in to her urges "release" will likely be quickly followed by "you and your friends get captured by the goddess and her minions and used as fuck toys if you're lucky." Melissa seemed to have gotten on the wrong side of the shield, somehow... maybe charging in again wasn't the best option. Instead, Jenn yells to the retreating Joseph:

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"The Director, Amy, sent us here to save you! I guess from this woman, but... I don't think we can beat her alone! I don't know what's gotten into Mina, but we're supposed to be trying to help you! At least help us finish the fight, please!"

(Jenn tries to smooth talk her way out of a nasty situation, and recover a little bit before going back into the fray. >.<)

(Edit: erm... right. Give me the modified first sentence. If he stops to listen, explain the rest, otherwise give up on him and go into a defensive stance. Jenn doesn't have any medical skills, so I guess Mina's out for the count...)

[Mamono Assault Force]

(Too lengthy, think of Joseph walking towards a door about three seconds away from him, determined on going through it. Jenn sounds like she's talking to him as if he's right there in front of her, which he's not...)

[DeMatt]

(Jeezus Christ. We'd've been better off if we'd HELPED Mina rape Joseph, way back when. :()

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"RRRAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

The albino's greater strength and wrestling skill might indeed be obvious - Melissa, however, doesn't care. Her foe has considerately opened her ever-to-be-damned shield up - so she continues smashing at her, fists, knees, the knife, whatever might reach, even a headbutt if the woman's so silly as to bring her face within reach.

(Attack. Aggressive. Melissa's bloody nuts for now.)

[thetwo]

(modified previous post)

[Mamono Assault Force]

(Bleh, how many times I gotta tell you guys, the words you pick can actually change the difficulty of the charisma/smooth talking check into something much easier... Jenn didn't even sound serious enough in her plea for help, almost like you were asking as the player and not the character. >.>)

As Jenn begged for the man to help, he had no interest in assist whom he thought to be an obstacle in his path, much less women who attempted to rape him.

"Tch, yeah, right. You can go fuck yourselves, cuz I'm not gonna get fucked by a bunch of little horny leeches." he thought to himself, as he disappeared through the doorway.



While Melissa and Aya fight inside the shield, Aya manages to flip the two of them over so that Aya is on top of her opponent, pinning Melissa to the ground, face down as she thrashes helplessly against Aya's obviously better skills at this kind of combat.

Aya was also agitated that the annoying girls allowed Joseph to escape, and planned to drain all of the heretics of their energy, so that she might be able to redeem herself with renewed energy, and pursue the boy once more.

Hoping her shield will last against Jenn's attack, even though she did not make one, Aya tried to focus solely on Melissa, and draining her first, before draining the other fool, starting by holding Melissa's hands down, while the green tentacle slid out of her pussy once more, and quickly, but gracefully, went into Melissa's pants, brushing past her anus and sending a chill up her spine as it did, while meeting it's intended destination, her pussy, and quickly started to attempt to gain access...

[DeMatt]

(Wheee... so is there any chance of Mina waking from her little nap before Aya's done with Melissa and Jenn?)

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"AAARRRAAARRRAAARRR!!!"

Melissa's bellowing might, possibly, be getting softer. There might even be a note of realization at just how fucked she's gonna be in a moment. But she's still thrashing around, trying to strike out at the witch holding her down - and such berserk movement, forcing her to keep her solidly pinned, is a defense in itself.

(Attack. Still way too aggressive.)

[thetwo]

(I was kinda hoping he knew the director, and hearing her name would be enough to realize we were on his side...)

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
Well that didn't go exactly as planned...

Jenn begins her new attack on the woman's shield, hoping to do break it down before Melissa gets raped too badly...

[Mamono Assault Force]

(Wrong time and place to say those words, as the most he heard, remember, I said he was JUST walking through the door, was "The Director, Amy, sent sent us here to save..." before ignoring the rest. In often times, emotion combined with the right words is key.)



With Aya's shield unmoving, Jenn managed to get two good slices on it, while making sure that should she break it, she wouldn't cut Melissa in half.

(Aya's shield status: Orange)



Melissa, still unable to get a limb free to attack, overpowered by Aya's greater strength, and skill, felt a powerful shock of pleasure, as her green tentacle drove itself into her pussy, making her whole body tremble with the feeling of being drained of her very life force, the erotic sensation causing her to tremble with pleasure as the tendril invaded her insides...

(Melissa's orgasm status: Orange)



Meanwhile, a certain horny Mina started to regain consciousness slowly, and before she even started to open her eyes, the two girls fighting with Aya heard the brunette calling out her lover's name, "Melissa... Melissa..." as if she needed help, or was just very concerned, as she recovered from her unconscious stupor.

(Mina has woken up.)

[DeMatt]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"AAAIIIAAARRRGGGHHH!!!"

Melissa is still trying to smack her latest rapist - but between that oh-so-familiar draining sensation sapping her rage away, and the supernaturally induced pleasure radiating from her crotch, her flailing becomes increasingly frantic. She heaves back and forth, trying to roll the both of them over and into the wall.

(Aggressive Attack, still. With Aya holding Melissa flat on the ground, I don't think Jenn needs to be very cautious with her slashes.)

[Mamono Assault Force]

(There's always a "cautious" roll when an enemy has someone grappled, and they're attacking said enemy, in order to make sure that they absolutely do not miss, and hit their friend in the process, as there's a lot of bucking and fighting involved in holding someone down, and just the wrong move at the wrong time could cause an accidental casualty.)

[thetwo]

(Well then...)

Jenn continues her attack on the shield, mindful of the fact that it could give out at any moment. Even hoping it will, so she can get a hit or two in on the woman herself and end her violation of Melissa.

[Mamono Assault Force]

Mina, eyes now completely open upon realizing that the woman she loved was crying out in a fury, suddenly felt ashamed, and filled with panic, thinking that while she lost control of herself to go after that man, she left Melissa alone so who knows what could harm her...

As she immediately started up, on her feet in a second, she felt scared, scared at the fact that Melissa might not forgive her for succumbing to her animal instincts, and more, not even coming to help her in order to satisfy her selfish desires. Words of Melissa's hate echoed through her mind as she ran as fast as she could towards her and the white woman on top of her, even though she dreaded the thought of Melissa never speaking to her again...



Jenn, trying to break the shield as quickly as possible, struck once more, and grazed her weapon along the edge of the invisible wall, the blade not even seeming to cut into the protective barrier...



Melissa, still helpless, not to mention screaming like a maniac, started succumbing to lust, as she quickly felt an orgasm building within her. Aya picked up on this, and through her green tentacle's rapid thrusts inside her blue haired victim, she drove it all the way inside Melissa, causing the sudden rush to cause her to release her juices in submission, letting out another wild cry, anger mixed with orgasmic pleasure, before passing out...

(Melissa is temporarily knocked out)

(Melissa's Stamina Status: Yellow)

(Melissa's mental status: Orange)

After she was unconscious, Aya freed her tentacle from the woman, and stood back up, glaring at Jenn with anticipation for her next meal...

[thetwo]

Seeing the other woman raped to orgasm and passed out, Jenn couldn't help but be suddenly very aware of the fact that she was still naked from the waste down and very nearly dripping from her first attack on this woman... but no, those tentacles were quick, running away would only mean not having a chance to fight back before she was caught.

Hearing Mina awake again and getting back into the action, Jenn decided to press her luck, staying on the offensive.

(Attack again, neutral stance)

[DeMatt]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"AAAHHH! Aaahhh! Aaarrgh..."

Melissa lurches up, arching her back, all her muscles locking up in response to her mindblowing orgasm. Then she collapses, limp and facedown, with a puddle forming below her crotch. At least with her pants not down, they got very wet with her juices, yet.

(Take a nap.)

[Mamono Assault Force]

(Reread yer post thar, DeMatt, hehehe... Aya didn't have the resources to take off her pants, so the green bugger slipped right into her pants)



Catching sight of the angry Mina, Aya decides to even the tide, by summoning another red tentacle forth from her back, which, once again, caught the red head by surprise from it's speed, and wrapped itself around her, tightening around her arms and body, preventing any movement from her rapier...



Meanwhile, the enraged-at-Aya Mina charges at the white haired rapist, and takes a very powerful kick at the shield which protects the woman who hurt her lover, and almost felt the barrier crack under her kick, before she was shoved away...

(Aya's barrier status: Red)

[DeMatt]

(Eh, I assumed that "Aya stuffing her proboscis along Melissa's crotch" included pushing her pants and underwear down - like, to midthigh if not further.)

Even if Melissa's not awake, her body is still reacting to all the stresses placed on it - her breathing is quick and heavy, shoulders still twitching as frazzled nerves twang in remembered echoes of the witch-woman's otherworldly skills.

(Dzzzzz...)

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Ugh, what is wrong with you!"

Jenn frantically struggles to get free of the tentacle before the strange woman can finish what she started.

[Mamono Assault Force]

Aya, having secured Jenn in place, decided to divert her attention to the last girl standing, Mina.

As Mina managed to deliver another successful kick to the shield, feeling it about to break, Aya decided to cut her losses, and welcome Mina inside the shield. Aya charged at the hermaphrodite, and managed to grab her. She spun Mina around so that she was behind her, with the tentacle on her back still holding Jenn, and wrapped her arms around the brunette...

Jenn, still struggling, was unable to overpower the massive red tentacle holding her in the air. It was all she could do just to kick her feet, and watch, as Mina appeared about to be raped...

[DeMatt]

(C'mon, Mina, boot Aya in the face!)

Melissa continues to be unconscious, ignorant of the feet slapping down around her.

(She's still inside the shield, after all. Idle question: if Mina started screwing Aya, would Mina drain Aya? Or would it always be Aya draining Mina?)

[thetwo]

(Well, the goddess had slavishly devoted futa servants that we had to battle before battling her...)

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
This is it, we're done... Melissa's unconscious, Mina's about to get raped, and I'm waiting, helpless, for my own turn...

"You bitch! What the hell is wrong with you! At least the monsters don't know what they're doing!"

Jenn continues her apparently futile struggle to get free.

[Mamono Assault Force]

Mina barely managed to struggle against Aya's grip, and as the half naked Aya summoned three green tentacles out of her pussy, two of them slid Mina's pants down. Mina's currently soft cock appearing for Jenn to see. However, Mina's cock slowly started to stiffen, as Aya's green tentacle started desiring entry...

Jenn was still helpless under the red tentacle's control, as she noticed Mina's... Cock? Fly out of her loose pants...

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Oh, no wonder that guy ran away. Freaking out about monster-women..."

Still, it's not like this revelation made the situation any worse. Unless Mina joined this woman? That would make it worse. Well, a little. Jenn continued struggling against the restraining tentacle, her efforts increasingly desperate as they continued to fail...

[DeMatt]

(Great, so either Aya's gonna rape all three of us simultaneously, or Aya's gonna massively overwhelm Mina before doing the same to Jenn and Melissa. Joy.)

Melissa shifts around slightly, the stone under her body cold against her flesh.

(Dzzzzz...)

[Mamono Assault Force]

(Those tentacles are very short range, and Aya doesn't wanna get kicked by Jenn. >.>)

As Mina felt Aya start to push her green tendril inside, savoring the taste of her soul starting to flow into her, Mina let out a loud scream, similar to Melissa, "Nooo!" And in a sudden lucky surge, she stomped on Aya's foot, holding her down, and tossed her head back, slamming it into the front of Aya's face, sending her trailing off of the futa.

(Next turn)

Turning around with an enraged expression, Mina cursed at Aya, "THIS IS FOR MELISSA!" and pulled her fist back, charging straight at Aya, and launched her clenched fist like a bullet. It slammed through the already battered shield, and punched Aya right in the face, sending her flying back, until she slammed on the ground, laying on her side.

Before she could move, a dark energy, almost like water flowing from the ground, enveloped Aya, and everything, including the tentacle holding Jenn, suddenly disappeared, letting the red head fall to the ground, safe and sound.



Her look of rage gone, she ignored Jenn for now, and rushed over to Melissa, and attempted to awaken her from her unconscious stupor...

(First Aid check)

After checking her pulse, and looking at her eyes, Mina managed to hesitantly awaken the stunned Melissa, who had fallen under a seizure from pleasure.

The half naked Brunette stood crying over Melissa, her tears wetting the slowly awakening Melissa, "Oh, god, Melissa... I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry..." she repeated several times, sobbing with grief over how she neglected the one she loved, "I should have been there, I should have listened to you... Dear god..."

(Aya is now back at the mansion, when you come back, Burnt, just make a post with Aya awakening in her room the next day.)

[DeMatt]

(Talk about last-minute luck...)

Melissa wakes out of her orgasmic stupor, looking hazily up at Mina as she drips tears down on her face.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"M-Mina...? W-where's that woman? N-need to fight..."

Her hand starts feeling around for her knife, dropped when she passed out.

[thetwo]

Upon seeing Mina move to tend to Melissa, Jenn ran behind the nearest substantial obstruction, out of sight of the other two women and collapsed to the floor.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts... cold showers, kittens, parents...

(Jenn is going to wait a few moments before confronting Mina/Melissa, to calm down (and to give DeMatt time to talk strategy).)

[Mamono Assault Force]

Mina only drew Melissa into a hug, leaning down to hold her lover in comfort as she continued to cry, "Melissa... She's gone... We're safe... I'm so sorry I left you..." she gave Melissa a tight squeeze, "Oh, god, I don't deserve you..." she cried helplessly against Melissa, rocking back and forth as she cried into the only woman, in her mind, that would care about her...

[DeMatt]

(What strategy? We radio in to the Director, she goes nuts at hearing Joseph and Aya both fled in their respective fashions, then we decide whether it's worth continuing to map the Zoo or not.)

Melissa hugs Mina back, her grip getting stronger and more confident as her head clears.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Shh, Mina... It's okay... I shouldn't have left you alone to deal with that rat-bastard... I-I guess you beat up that witch-woman? G-good for you... I-I couldn't get through her shield, and then she grabbed me, and held me down, and I couldn't hit her, and she stuck her tentacle in my pants and in me and it hurt and OH GOD..."

She leans forward, burying her face in Mina's shoulder, heedless of Mina's still-stiff penis poking her gut, crying at realizing how she'd been driven into an ecstatic coma.

[thetwo]

(Um... Jenn isn't going to be happy with Mina. The whole "penis" thing. Going to have to do something about that before Jenn does anything constructive with her.)

[DeMatt]

(Hm. Well... we do still have the option of swapping somebody out via helicopter. I could see Jenn going back to the Inn and somebody else (Rin, hint hint Zerospace) replacing her. She's still massively horny (orgasm status Red) and somewhat woozy (mental status Orange), although I think both stats might fix themselves with just a few minutes' rest. Which Melissa would want, too; she's somewhat out of it herself.)

(Alternatively, we could try and talk Jenn into cooperating. It's... certainly possible, given that Mina's not shown much interest in Jenn up to this point, and is probably still "full" enough to still not be interested.)

(Well, let's get through Mina and Melissa making up (again) and then we'll see. Jenn gets to catch her breath, tries not to eavesdrop, and tries to ignore her throbbing loins. :p)

[Mamono Assault Force]

(PET THE PENIS, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!!)

Mina only continued to cry, holding Melissa while repeating, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." over and over, until she pulled away just far enough so she could place a kiss on Melissa's lips, lasting as long as a smooch, before whispering, "Melissa, I'm so sorry, I'm just... Not human... I'm not..." she insisted.

[thetwo]

(Well, since I don't think she took any stamina damage, Jenn should be back to full in a few minutes... I vote try to convince her that Mina's not a monster like the other futas Jenn saw. Shouldn't be *too* difficult, but it'll have to be done.)

[DeMatt]

(Not the right mood fer penis-petting, you know that. :p)

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"D-don't say that! You ARE human! You ARE!"

Melissa grips Mina by the shoulders, looking her in the eye, worried and exasperated.

"You like apples! You hate that one band I've got the MP3's of! You worry about how I feel, how others feel, whether you're the cause or not!"

She calms down a little.

"You're more human than that witch-woman that was just here. You think SHE cared about what we thought, felt, wanted?"

(Well, if Jenn's not quite so polite as to be clamping her ears shut, this should help.)

[thetwo]

(Na, Jenn isn't listening right now...)

After a moment, Jenn decides she's calmed down enough, pulls her change of panties and jeans out of her backpack, and slips into them. Still not really wanting to face Mina, she doesn't yet move back into view.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
She seems like a nice girl, but then I find out she has a penis. The other futas I met were working for the goddess and probably don't count as good character references... but then both David and this guy with the pony tail have claimed people like her were trying to rape them. And then Mina apparently tried to rape him. I don't like it.

[Mamono Assault Force]

Mina looked very ashamed of herself, as if she'd done something to deserve unparalleled guilt, as she started to cry a little more, "Melissa... I love you so much..." Mina throws herself into Melissa, pressing her head to her chest, and squeezing her tightly, nearly sucking the life out of her with her strong grip as she cried hopelessly against her lover...

[DeMatt]

(Well... Jenn might not be deliberately listening in, but A) she's not that far away, and B) Melissa and Mina aren't exactly keeping their voices down; I think she'd have to be concentrating pretty hard on herself not to hear them.)

Melissa can and does do little, as Mina crushes her to her chest.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Ooof. I love you too, Mina..."

She contents herself with trying to hug back, rubbing her back with her hands in as comforting a fashion as she can manage. Eventually, though, she needs to breathe...

"Mmm... Mina... you're... crushing... me..."

Released, she puts a finger to Mina's lips, silencing her gabbled apology.

"Shush... you needed that just as much as I did... it's alright..." and she leans forwards and plants a chaste kiss on her lips. Pulling back, she says with a weak smile, "The rest will have to wait until we get back to the Inn, okay?"

Reality, as always, starts to intrude - this time in the form of Mina's penis, still insistently poking into Melissa's side. "Um... could you please pull your pants up?"

[thetwo]

(We'll go with concentrating too much to hear until this post)

Jenn collects herself, finally forcing arousal out of her mind enough that she can think about something else. She moves back into sight and silently moves to pick up the clothing that the strange woman stripped off her and place it in her backpack.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
Mina hasn't tried to rape me so far, so she probably isn't going to right now. On the other hand, she didn't seem able to contain herself around the guy with the pony tail, she just saw me without my pants on and horny as hell, and I think I saw her staring at Melissa's ass earlier. I can't trust her, at all, but stabbing her probably isn't a productive move either.

[Mamono Assault Force]

Mina apologized insistently when Melissa begged her to stop squeezing her, and with the promise Melissa said waited for her back at the Inn, Mina gave a bright smile, and her cock even pushed a little more against her, apparently horny thoughts running through her mind, until Melissa pointed out her cock was stiff, and very noticeable. Mina didn't even think of the fact that Jenn might have seen her... Asset, but instead simply did as Melissa told her, and went for her pants, pulling them up over her hard, stiff cock.

The pants themselves didn't seem to help hide the truth, Mina was a little horny after she was almost raped by that... thing, which she wordlessly noted towards Melissa, seeking guidance, or help with this predicament. In her mind, whether or not Jenn actually saw it, she'd definitely know something was not right when she spotted that giant tent in her pants...

[DeMatt]

(Hm. Well, Melissa just said a quick roll in the grass is out. A dip in the pool might do it, but wouldn't be well-received. Well... if this doesn't go off as badly as I fear... two birds with one stone, maybe?)

Mina's wordless look for guidance is hardly needed... but Melissa hugs her a little tighter after she pulls her pants up. Wanting to keep her calm, as she looks up over Mina's shoulder at Jenn, reappearing from around the barrier.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Um... Jenn? Is something... bothering you?"

(Prediction: Jenn goes "Mina... has a penis." Melissa goes: "Yes." Jenn goes: "Mina... has an insatiable sex drive. For both sexes." Melissa goes: "Sort of." Jenn goes: "Mina... wants to rape me." Melissa goes: "She won't. She won't have sex with you unless you want to have sex with her." Jenn goes: "But she wants to." Melissa goes: "Yeah. But she won't.")

[thetwo]

(I never do what is expected! Unless it's convenient. Stupid post took a long time to do, had to re-write it after I flipped a coin.)

Jenn doesn't look either of the other women in the eye as she speaks.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"I... that woman... she raped me. Can I borrow the radio for a minute? I... I think I need to make a call."

[DeMatt]

Discovering that the radio is still dangling from its strap, somehow tucked under her backpack, Melissa unslings it and holds it out to Jenn, not moving from where she's hugging Mina.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Um, sure. Did you... want to go back to the Inn and rest?"

(I'll leave off the sarcastic comments about how she also raped Melissa and (the way I read it) did also rape Mina. Okay, I guess Jenn's going home then. Amirite?)

[thetwo]

(Nope. Well, probably not. Jenn's going clever. :P)

Jenn walks a few yards away from the others, turning the radio over and over in her hands. Finally she turns around to face the other girls, looking hurt.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Do they know? At the inn? Do they know about.... her?

Is she even a 'her'? I don't know. I've never heard of one restraining themselves long enough to find out the proper pronoun."

[DeMatt]

(Oh, you ASS.)

Melissa's expression darkens as Jenn speaks. Her grip on Mina tightens - stress and anger, this, not trying to comfort or restrain. She opens her mouth, once or twice, only to close it again as she decides against what she had been about to say. Then, finally, precisely...

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"No. Mina wanted it kept a secret, so a secret it is." She pauses. "I use 'her'. She doesn't... behave... like a man." Another pause. "She's here, and she has a name - Mina. You haven't been told you can't use it."

[thetwo]

(Yea, I'm almost certainly not going to tell, but once I thought of that I couldn't make myself give it up. But since it was kinda jerky, I decided to flip a coin... and it came up heads. :P)

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"She wants to keep it a secret. That's... a big secret. What about the girls at the inn? What do they want? I know I'd want to know if someone around me had an unnatural penis, what with all the things trying to rape me... including quite a few 'women' who've turned out to have a penis. And three women now who had tentacles they used like penises. Even among humans with penises, I've met more who try to rape me then who don't... and none of the 'real' men have tried yet."

[DeMatt]

(Maybe so. But the way Jenn is going about it... she just pissed Melissa off BAD. She's spent a good part of the week convincing Mina that she's a PERSON, more than the sum of her gonads... and Jenn just tramped right back the other way.)

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"So... you'd judge her just based on the fact that she has a spare piece of gristle? 'Rape' doesn't require a penis, you know." She glares for a minute. "What doesn't hurt them, they don't need to know. We aren't inviting you to share our bed. Just trust us to watch your back."

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Yea, you're right. It doesn't take a penis to rape someone. Tell me to my face that she wasn't trying to rape our friend with the pony tail."

(I do feel kinda sorry for Mina, right after you convinced her she's a human... but she *does* have a bit of an "uncontrollable lust" issue that she *will* resolve with rape if she gets 'hungry' and there's nobody willing around.)

[Mamono Assault Force]

Mina, distraught over the arguement over her, breaks away from Melissa, sightly sounding as if she's sobbing, and walks away from the two of them in a hurry, looking to be very upset with something as she does so, placing her hands on her face, and trying to get as far away from them as possible, walking along the sides of the Plaza in an effort to put some distance between them, and her...

[DeMatt]

(True enough... but that hunger would take more than a day to manifest - I'm sure she could find Melissa in that time, or somebody interested in a one-night stand.)

Melissa stares at Jenn, frustration obvious as she tries to word her thoughts properly. Then Mina breaks out of her embrace, dashing off crying; Melissa looks hastily between the two, then aims a much hotter glare at Jenn.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Errgh... you have NO sensitivity, do you?"

Then she gets up and starts following her distraught lover, giving a yank at her waistband to resettle her all-too-messy pants.

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Well, at least she's sorry about it afterward, though I'm not sure how much consulation that would give our friend if she had succeeded.

Go! Tell her she's not a monster. I'll refrain from blabbing her secret for the moment."

[Mamono Assault Force]

As soon as Melissa catches up to the distraught Mina, the brunette seems badly hurt emotionally, and she was constantly sobbing, and wiping at her eyes, and when Melissa demands her attention, she starts chanting while ignoring almost all words of comfort, "I'm not human... I'm not human... I'm just a freak... I'm not human..." she insists, rambling like a madwoman, trying to get away from Melissa...

[DeMatt]

(Congratulations, Jenn, you just pushed Mina into a relapse.)

Perhaps luckily, Melissa doesn't hear Jenn's parting shot as she's too focused on the sobbing form of Mina. She dashes up, hands reaching to resume their hug.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Mina... Mina... c'mon... calm down... you're not a freak. You're NOT. Don't ever think that. I'm with you, I'm staying with you. If they want to call you a freak, they'll have to call me a freak right alongside."

[thetwo]

Jenn turns on the radio and speaks into it loudly enough for Mina and Melissa to hear.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Um... hello there, this is Jenn from the first team. We found the guy with the pony tail, but we also found a girl who could create some sort of shield and make tentacles come out of her back, like that woman who's activities we're supposed to be looking into. The one the director and a few of us fought a few days ago? We managed to defeat this new girl with only two out of our three-person group incapacitated, but the guy got away while we were fighting. We'll keep searching."

[Mamono Assault Force]

As soon as Jenn was done with her report, she heard the Director from the other side, "You LOST HIM!?!" she exclaimed, sounding very angry, as if Jenn had done something very wrong, "You clumsy FOOLS! Now who knows who's hands that brat will end up in! How could you be so foolish as to let him flee!" she accused Jenn, yelling too ignorantly to listen to any interruption.

Jenn heard the Director heave a sigh before continuing, "Pray do tell, if one of your group members were incapacitated, how are you to go about your search without securing their well being?" she asked her, uninformed of the recovery of Melissa.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still teary eyed, Mina, under the assault of Melissa's care, simply bent down to the ground, and went to her side, curling up into a ball as she cried like a little child. She buried her head in her arms, and hid her face, crying as she tried to hide herself from the world...

[Mamono Assault Force]

Edited

[DeMatt]

(Mutter mutter grumble grumble... bets on whether Mina will want to stay anywhere near Jenn now?)

Melissa crouches, then kneels down beside Mina, trying to pull her onto her lap and enfold her in her arms, tucking Mina's head under her chin and rocking slowly as she murmurs in her ear.

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=129&pictureid=1407"Shh, shh, Mina... it's okay to cry... take your time... let it out..."

(Well, at least she's not hysterical, just profoundly sad.)

[thetwo]

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/picture.php?albumid=116&pictureid=1352
"Well, at least we stopped that other woman from killing him... did I mention she shot him? Fortunately for him and my incapacitated teammates, one of us knows first aid. Which didn't stop him from taking our gun, knocking one of us unconscious, and running away in the middle of the fight that we very nearly lost."

[Mamono Assault Force]

While her crying doesn't die down but for a while, the wild, emotional hermaphrodite seems to find comfort in the rocking back and forth like a baby, and her cries eventually turn into sobs, which eventually turn into slight moans of sadness, until she's completely silent, relaxing against Melissa, finding comfort in her embrace.

Mina's first want was for Melissa to sing to her, but she knew Melissa would never be a good singer. So, she just kept silent while being rocked back and forth by Melissa, the comforting calming her nerves, until, to Melissa's surprise, Mina had fallen asleep! Various marks on her face suggested that Joseph's punches must have hurt quite bad, which must have left her dazed, and worn, as she was actually now sleeping, resting on Melissa...
