The walk back is interminable, with no unusual sounds or scents to distract you.

Along the way, your mind wanders, and you find yourself thinking about... Amaranth?

Huh. It's been a little while since the two of you last spoke - her current job keeps her pretty busy, although you're not quite certain what it is she does, exactly. Ammy (you grin to yourself at that; she always hated that nickname, doubly so after she watched you play through Okami) has never really been one to be forthcoming with details about anything, and you'd long since learned to not probe too deeply. Huh. You should get back in touch with her some day soon, see how she's doing.

After [muststeerclearmustnotthinkhernamecarefulcareful] your ex and you broke up, you've had trouble keeping your close friends. You pushed away the ones that didn't abandon you, and... Cass and Ammy are really the only two you have left, and Cass is the only one you talk to every day.

You arrive at warehouse building. The door chirps - which you intepret as a happy Aubrey's back, yay - and you enter.

Cass isn't at the guard station, but light pours from the door to the crew area next to it. You sigh. Technically, Cass is supposed to be at the station proper, but last time you brought it up to her, she pointed out that she could see the screen just fine from inside the crew area.

Of course, you take naps on the job, so you're not really the paragon of virtue here.

"Hey, Cass." You squint a little as your eyes adjust. It's not so bright that you need your sunglasses, but it's just bright enough that you can see faint ghosts of color.

"Auuuuubrey!" She bounces up from her seat at the crew table, her chair squeaking in the process, the shrill sound causing your ears to flatten back for a moment. The taller ratlady envelops you in a hug that's hard enough to pop your back - underneath her chub and fluff is a body with muscles that are like steel. Cass is one of the only people you know that can beat you in arm wrestling.

...she's also the most flexible person you've eve—

"Doin' okay there?" You jump and Cass grins, giving your butt a squeeze before releasing you from her arm-vises. "Sorry, you were spacin' out a bit, and tonight you've been hornier than a male forest dragon in a whorehouse."

You flush and stammer a bit, before Cass eases you down into one of the chairs and takes her seat again, the wooden chair complaining only a little in the process. "And you said you saw somethin'? Or heard somethin'?"

>>801045
Heard a muttering sound moving through the forest and a deep rumbling sound that seemed out of place; you went toward the muttering then encountered an unnatural silence. The silence ended and you heard the sound of a massive door closing, felt the rush of air from it even.
You also heard some birds fucking.

You smelled a lizard and a dinosaur, who are nowhere to be found. They smelled of patchouli, lavender, and the ocean.

Also you found lube! Wanna put it to use?

>your ex
Telling you shall to us about ex-of-yours, ex-so-loathsome.
It's not like thinking about her or mentioning her name would bring her here, would it? Actually, I take that back. There seems to be something wrong with this universe. People popping in and out of it and stuff.

>Ammy
I would not have expected you to be in such a relationship with such a creature. What else do you know about her?

>you saw somethin'
Tell Cass we got paperwork to do, and why. Also, show her the lube, ask her if she has any ideas about it.

(I accidentally left out a segment from the post last night, and it's kind of relevant, so I'll just append it here.)
>As entering warehouse

The sudden disappearance, the sounds - everything leads you to believe that this is likely some kind of trandimensional event.

...which means that it's quite fortunate for you that Cass has her doctorate in Transdimensional Physics. The two of you haven't talked very much about it before - there's usually been much more interesting things occupying your attention, but if there's anyone who would know what's going on, it's her.

Then again, tonight's been a big mess of feelings and stuff - you're still really turned on, for one.

You're not certain that you have time to get into both.

Choices choices.

Tell Cass that you want her. Now.

Why this choice? It's because Amaranth may be watching us, and her commands as to what our policy should be were pretty clear. We must keep Aubrey loved. So this decision is a result of the fact that I don't want us to get killed by a transdimensional monster. And totally not because I just want to see some hot lesbian sex.

"I've been, you know - just... like..." You stumble over your words a little, which isn't normal for you at all. Cass just waits, all patience and smiles. "I'm gonna miss you, Cass!" You blurt out, long ears tucking back. "I'm excited about the trip and everything, but thinking of leaving - you're my best friend an—"

"Shhh, it's okay, Aubrey. You know that I can come visit any time, right? And you can come back whenever you want?" She takes your hand in her own, palms slightly rough and calloused, and squeezes gently. "I've been through Station plenty of times, and visited all kinds of 'verses... but I always come back home. I know it's kinda scary to get out there, but you'll have fun!" Reassuring squeeze.

"I've never even seen the Train, let ride on it!" You blink back tears. You have done your fair share of travelling - it's not uncommon for people here in Cherrygrove to do it - but it's always been through specialized portals, set up for point-to-point transfer. And you've never really left for more than a day or two. The thought of riding in a gigantic machine, barreling through the inter-'verse ether... it's intimidating to say the least.

"Auuuubrey." You glance sidelong at Cass when she says your name. "You know what'll help?"

"What?"

"If we get a bit of us-time in and help take care of some of that pent-up-ness you have goin' on." She runs her claws slowly up your arm, the light touch sending electric tingles along it and down your spine. "How's that sound?"

You blush, face and ears growing hot. "That... that sounds just fine by me." You can't help but smile.

"Atta girl! Noooow... you want me to go down on you, or do you wanna get some licks in on me?"

"What, no double-action?" Your smile grows wider.

"Nope! I want eye contact!" Her whiskers twitch and she chitters in that way she does when she gets really, really turned on. "So, who's going down on who?"

>>801410
Cass on Aubrey.

Aubrey on Cass. That aardvark tongue!

It's not like we can't do both one after another but.. I think Aubrey should go down on Cass first.
Two reasons.
Firstly, I'm pretty sure there's going to be a lot of other characters going down on Aubrey in the future, so plenty more chances for that.
Secondly, because this is closer to the dream Aubrey had in the start. Gotta live the dream!

"You know that dream I was having earlier?"
"Yeah?"
"I'd just gotten finished going down on you when you woke me up."
"Oh. Oh." Eyes bright and shiny, chittering again. Her heart beating just a bit faster, muskysweet scent of arousal. Your memories flash before you, of the countless times you and Cass have fooled around - more positions than you'd thought possible, more things with rope than you thought possible. Probing fingers and tongues and warm, whispering breath, darkness and light and many things.

"Auuuubrey." Oh. Right. Sex. Right now. In a haze of pre-sex pleasure, you ease out of your chair and head to the crew room cabinet. You're pretty certain that the management here knows why you store blankets and pillows in it, but they've never inquired. Nor have they asked questions about exactly what the two of you get up to at work.

Except for that one time, and that was only because the usual locksmith that Cass uses was out sick. Cass still teases you about it.

You glance back over your shoulder and squint at the vaguely rat-shaped blur - it looks like she's still sitting in her chair, which meaaaans...

You return with a just a single pillow and crawl under the table, setting the plush pillow down so that you don't bruise your knees, and turn to your task. Well, someone's an eager rat - her pants and cute pair of black underwear are already down around her ankles.

Cass's chubby, cream-furred thighs are spread just a bit, and you peer up along her torso - you can't really see her face too well, but you do you best to make a brief bit of eye contact. You're rewarded by those heavenly thighs opening just a bit further, and wet heat washes over your snuffling snout. "Aubrey..."

You need this. You need it with a desperation that's only really making itself truly known right now. You press your nose home, a broken moan quavering from your throat as your friend, your best friend, gives herself over to your mercy.

Your trembling hand fumbles at your belt. You grunt in frustration. Finally, you manage to unfasten it. You shove your hand underneath the waistband.

You're so wet that you get two fingers knuckle-deep without even trying. "Fuck!" Squeeze. Squeeze.

Cass gives your head an encouraging pat, and you focus for a moment on reminding her of just how long your tongue is. Your saliva is naturally quite sticky, but her own arousal and wetness ensures that that isn't much of a problem, and before she knows it, you've filled her.

Speaking of filling - two fingers isn't going to do it.

Three. A bit of a stretch, and you squeeze your eyes shut. You stop for a moment, then slowly rock back and forth. The sensation is torturous and incredible.

You slurp your tongue out of Cass for a moment, drool and wetness coating everything. Every panting breath you inhale is Cass's scent, and you need a moment to recover.

Cass gives an encouraging chitter, waiting to see what your next move is.

What do you do next?

There's several unique options. More tongue action. Talking dirty for an occasional tongue action. Helping spread her pussy with a hand for smoother tongue action. Moving your head closer for deeper tongue action. Licking her clit and inside her pussy at the same time for double tongue action. Did I mention anything with the tongue? I keep forgetting.. yeah, and don't forget to rub your head against her fur and to look her in the eyes.

Jokes aside, I'm pretty sure that tongue could make her come in a minute if you'd want to. Try to prolong things at least a bit. Or maybe not. Doesn't she recover really fast?

Option after option runs through your brain, and...

...you realize something.

Despite the wetness, despite the arousal, despite everything — you're not into this.

Desperation that strong, need that strong - it's not normal for you. Sure, you're a bit of an exhibitionist, and sure, you're the kind of person who loves pleasing their partner, but this?

"Aubrey?"

You worry that you're trying to drown out the anxiety from earlier, the questions and hesitations you had... and... hold on a moment.

>I think Aubrey should go down on Cass first.
>Aubrey on Cass
>I believe this is an image of Aubrey in the dark.

"Auuubrey?"

Since when have you ever thought in third-person?

"Aubrey!"

"Hnnh! Sorry," you mumble.

"Everythin' okay?" Cass sounds concerned. She's such a sweetheart, even with your head between her legs and her body trembling on the edge of a now-denied orgasm. "If you're not into it right now, it's alright." She rubs your ears, comforting, soothing.

"I'm sorry, Cass." You slide your fingers out, and as you talk, you scoot out from under the table. "It's been a weird night. Saw some crazy stuff, and now I'm thinking in third-person, apparently?" You wipe yourself clean on a few paper towels. "It's almost as if my thoughts aren't... oh shit."

"Aren't what?" Cass's cleaned herself up as well. She does a very good job of hiding any disappointment in not finishing.

"I'm an idiot, that's what. Hold on." You head over to your locker, dig around a bit, and return with an envelope. It arrived earlier in the mail today, and you were so busy packing that you forgot to actually open it. Since it was addressed to you from Station, if you figured it was just additional confirmation of your Ticket, which you'd already received.

You slip a claw under the envelope flap and slit it open.

Inside is a single sheet of paper. You unfold it, briefly scan the text, and sigh. "Yeah, I'm a freaking idiot, with a scoop of ice cream on top." You pause. "And extra sprinkles."

Cass blinks, then perks her ears up. "Is that a...?"

"Yes."

"Really? Effective when?"

You glance at the wall clock, its oversized, high-contrast numbers showing that it's nearly 4 in the morning. Almost time to go home. "About an hour ago."

"Oh. Ohhh."

>>802006
Well that's just inconvenient. Stupid tourism industry putting voices in your head.

Well if you're not gonna bone you should tell her about the lizard and the dinosaur most likely using a portal of some kind.

Hiiiii!!! By the way, when were suggesting the topic of Amaranth, we were thinking of some sort of extra-dimensional sapient quadruped, who apparently also was following your feed here, and cares about your happiness as well! Anyway, you ever need quick advice or expert suggestions or insight or whatever, and have a few moment to separate the proverbial wheat from the chaff, just think it! Oh! Can you tell our voices apart any?

Oh, well this is awkward, caught with our metaphorical dicks out. Well hey, hope this isn't too freaky

Oh, also, we tend to be an epicurean bunch, so romantic themes, including those great dreams, are very touching to us. We'll tend to give lots of suggestions along those lines; take of that what you will. Also, just you know we DID kinda see the dream when you dozed off there, it was where the feed started! This voice felt it relevant that you be aware of that, rather than not know.

Yeah, thinking in 3rd person is definitely weird. In fact, it's better if I ignore all these 3rd person thoughts from now on and focus only on the real, 1st person, my own thoughts.

I should ask Cass how she feels, knowing that this experience started over an hour ago already. Now that I know what's going on, it does feel kinda kinky. Maybe we could still continue if she's not bothered with it.

Also, f-y-i, some of us are jerks. Jerks! Keep your moral/personal goals filter tuned to modulate ANY thoughts in your head!

Hello. I am Station's Director. You may call me The Director. Pardon the interruption, but Aubrey's quest cannot continue until you all settle an important matter.

Aubrey has in her possession a Ticket for the Transdimensional Train, and it is with this Ticket that she will be travelling to Station. Tickets are known to be hideously expensive, and beyond the means of most people.

The question you have to answer is this: How did Aubrey acquire her Ticket?

You have different answers to this question that you can vote on, and each answer is associated with a different Trait.

Aubrey's Trait will shape how she interacts with other people, and will also provide her with a Perk and a Flaw.

Perks give Aubrey more options in situations, and Flaws restrict Aubrey's available options.

Additionally, Traits (and Perks and Flaws) may have other effects on Aubrey's journey. You may also encounter other opportunities to acquire additional Perks and/or Flaws, but you will never be able to gain an additional Trait.

Answer: Aubrey has one of the biggest channels on Youtube, and one of her fans bought the Ticket for her after she mentioned in a video that she wanted to travel.

Personality Trait: FAMOUS
Perk: “Admired” - A star can get away with a hell of a lot more than other people.
Flaw: “Conspicuous” - It’s going to be a lot harder to go unnoticed, and you can expect complete strangers to approach you at inopportune times.

File 149498070085.png - (798.62KB , 800x600 , thedirector3.png )

Answer: Aubrey traded it to some rich guy in exchange for anal sex.

Personality Trait: BRAZEN
Perk: “Unfettered” - You’re willing to try just about anything and go just about anywhere, even things that would make others flinch. Fuck the consequences!
Flaw: “Low Impulse Control” - You have a lot of trouble turning down ideas that are unusual or “random”, especially when under the influence of booze or when sleep deprived.

File 149498071866.png - (784.62KB , 800x600 , thedirector4.png )

Answer: Aubrey knows a lot of people in a lot of places, and many of them owe her favors. She called in one such favor to get the Ticket.

Personality Trait: SOCIAL
Perk: “Contacts” - When you need shit done, you usually know who to contact to make it happen.
Flaw: “Errand Girl” - A lot of people have helped you in the past, and they’ll expect you to help them in return.

Answer: An accomplished hacker, Aubrey used social engineering to get into the Ticket system and have it issue her one.
Personality Trait: MANIPULATIVE
Perk: “Credulous” - You are damn good at lying to people, and bullshitting opens up many options.
Flaw: “Keikaku Means Plan” - You feel compelled to make any plans hideously overcomplicated.

File 149498075416.png - (755.74KB , 800x600 , thedirector6.png )

Answer: Aubrey bought it outright, but it cost her a year's earnings, her savings, and she had sell everything she owned (aside from toiletries and a few changes of clothes).

Personality Trait: DETERMINED
Perk: “Unflappable” - You are extraordinarily good at being patient, and you'll go that extra mile in order to accomplish what needs to be done.
Flaw: "Obsessive" - You don’t know when to let things go, and you’re incredible pushy, especially if sex is a possibility.

There is no right or wrong choice - each of these answers is equally valid.


EACH PERSON GETS ONE VOTE. Feel free to discuss among yourselves which you feel is best, but please make sure you still vote.

Voting will be open for 48 hours. At that time, votes will be tallied, Aubrey's Trait will be chosen, and her quest will resume.

Thank you. <3

(Note: Due to Station policy, The Director is unable to answer any questions. Please contact a friendly Station staff member if you have concerns or inquiries. For your convenience, all Transdimensional Train cars have an on-site Station staff member.)

5, determined! We're real go-getters.

Thinking either Social or Brazen... interested in suggestions, peeps!

Social! Nobody likes pushy people.

>>802356
SOCIAL.
Both of these things sound like advantages to me. Errands are fun!

Social! We love side quests, even to the extent of the detriment of the main quest!

Brazen

FAMOUS, who wants to be a star? I DO.

>1. Famous
I like having privacy and I would find it really annoying to have a bunch of stalkers following us the whole time, no matter how advantageous it might be. Technically, our suggestions here would carry less risk, but they would also be more limited.
AKA Public Sex

>2. Brazen
This may seem like a pretty good trait at first. The way I understand it, it would cause Aubrey to almost always follow our suggestions, no matter how stupid they are. But once you think about it, it's a really good idea to have Aubrey protect us from ourselves. I trust Aubrey's perception to be way better than our own and if anything's going to keep us alive, that would be it. So because I like being alive, I don't like this trait.
AKA Kinky Sex

>3. Social
The benefits of this trait are pretty nice and the flaw also doesn't sound bad at all. At least not until you realize that we *cannot* turn down those who we owe favours to. And that might would turn out to be quite inconvenient and dangerous. The way I understand it, picking this trait would mean ceding a part of our power over Aubrey to someone else.
AKA Group Sex

>4. Manipulative
To where we're going, being a good liar would be a pretty useful skill. The question here is, how bad would 'hideously overcomplicated' be? I think that this trait would cause Aubrey to progress in the plot much slower than usual and you better pray she doesn't find herself in some sort of action-packed situation because if I'm correct, this trait would cause our suggestions to always come out a bit twisted.
AKA Roleplay Sex

>5. Determined
The benefits aren't great but I don't see anything bad in the flaw either. This is my choice because it carries the best ratio of benefits vs risks.
AKA Orgasmic Sex

Social

"Soooo, Aubrey, what's it like?" You've sat back down, and Cass has a hand resting on your thigh.

"It's like... it's hard to describe. It's like having little thoughts skitter across the surface of your brain. And they sound like my voice, almost?" You think back on the past hour. "It's like - it's like I'm in a big room, and I'm talking out loud, but there are whispers all around me. Sometimes they shout and drown out my own voice, and it's kind of distracting."

Cass blinks. "That sounds like ADHD."

"Eh." You make a noncommittal motion with one hand. "I wouldn't know. Anyway," you continue, "I can actually remember everything that they've said. Which... which is weird."

"Bad weird or good weird?"

"Weird weird. Good weird a bit. And I gotta admit, the thought of countless strangers watching my every room, experiencing everything I feel,"—a sharp jab of regret for cutting the play session with Cass short—"it's a huge turn-on."

"I bet!"

"Oh! I meant to go into more detail about what I found in Quadrant Fiv—" You cut your sentence short at Cass's grin. Her eyes sparkle with mischief. "Goddammit. You totally know what it was, don't you."

"Yep!"

"And you've known for how long now?"

"Since the first alert." She tilts her head to the side and brushes a stray bit of hair back behind one ear, her grin even wider now.

You facepalm. "Right. What about the cameras? You said they didn't show anything!"

"All lies. Saw two people, figured you might get lucky and get a good humping."

"Cass!"

"What?" If there's anyone more terrible at looking innocent than Cass, you've never met them. "They didn't look dangerous! Besides, I went back and reviewed the footage after you left, and they arrived via portal. Which means they were Tourists, and thus 100% safe."

"Cass! Seriously!"

"If they looked like weirdos, then I'd have let you know, I promise!"

"Cass, I could have been accosted, or worse!" You look down at your hands, with their oversized claws. With the amount of sheer muscle you have driving them, they're perfect for fending off anyone who'd mess with you. "Okay, maybe not, but still." Resigned sigh. "Well, did you at least figure out who they were?"

"Naw, couldn't get that good of a look. If they were Tourists, though, then that means you might bump into them at Station. Ooo..." Cass's eyes go wide and she leans closer to you. "If you do, lemme know, 'kay? I don't want to have to go to TGchan and find out after the fact."

"Fine." You glance at the clock again - shift's almost over. You'll stop by your place to make sure you haven't forgotten anything (although most of your stuff's already been shipped forward to Station), after which you'll hop on the Train and start your adventure. You're nervous and excited in equal measures.


END OF CHAPTER 1

Disthread here: https://tgchan.org/kusaba/questdis/res/111674.html

Sexual encounters evaded: 2/3! (Evaded Ammy and the tourists hehe, but not Cass!)

Hmm, if Cass is able to read about what Aubrey does on TGchan, then wouldn't it mean she's also able to write suggestions? Unless, of course, she promised not to do that. So many implications. She could turn out to be an ally giving us hints, or a foe leading us to dead ends.. and evading sexual encounters!

Anyway, nothing really to suggest here. Maybe talk with a station staff member, but I don't think they would tell us anything we don't already know.

>>802914

Well, that's a good question - I think you'll find the answer if you go check the date on the letter she got and compare it to the date the letter was sent. =)
