Hey, don't blame the ice cream! You're going to hurt it's feelings!

You're a water dragon and that's four box of water. Do the four box.

You're above such things as making decisions! That task falls to the mortals, not dragons such as yourself!

....

For a brief moment, you hoped thinking that would make you cringe so hard you fall through the vent.

>Hey, don't blame the ice cream! You're going to hurt it's feelings!
Oh-- sorry! You know I love you BB.

The current situation is proof of that.

>Give in, you're supposed to be naked you silly reptile, and so are birds!
P-preposterous! Can you even imagine what'd it be like living in a world where reptilians and avians had no nudity taboo and in fact considered it perfectly normal to walk around with their junk hanging out??

Well, maybe not 'hanging out' with their flat chests and internal bits.

And in fact, without a nudity taboo you probably wouldn't have grown up as shy as you are. In fact, is it possible there's a version of you out there that embraces nudity? Who even, gods forbid, enjoys it?

No way. That'd just be unrealistic character writing.

Besides, being okay with nudity wouldn't get you unstuck, it'd just make you slightly less freaked out about it.

>Try sucking in your breath and stomach to make it easier for them to get you out.
Right! Of course! That combined with the birbs helping should get you out of this mess!

The mess of being stuck, at least. Your brain has locked away thoughts of the other aspect of your situation for your sanity.

"Fishy fishy fish~"

"Cekachii...! I'm a water dragon so if you help me you're kinda sorta touching a fish maybe!"

"Okay that's cool that you know that I guess but there's a naked stranger in front of us."

"She's not a stranger!" Keireer says. "She's one of our friends! Ceri, this is Twelve! Twelve, this is our new friend Ceri!"

You instinctively reach out to shake her hand. "Oh, I'm pleased to meet... no! still naked! Want to not be naked! Also why are you naked!"

Twelve puts her crotch on display...? "It looked like naked time, so I made things explicit like you guys!"

What?

Keireer nods. "I thought there was something different about you today!"

does she

does she not normally...?

Keireer looks thoughtful. "Or at least, this part of you. Where's the rest of you, anyway?"

...what?

"Around!" Twelve says. "So many stores and vents to explore, and keeping up the spooky woods presence."

"Let us know if any of you finds anything interesting!"

what does any of that meaaannn

Twelve seems to notice Cekachii admiring the fish, and pulls something out of her pocket(?????)

Money! That'd solve your nudity crises perfectly!

But-- oh no! You're QUITE SHY! And they're locked in a conversation! There's no way you'd be able to not just speak loudly enough to be heard but to also interrupt them!


What'll you do??

A: Psst. Hey, Keireer...
It's nice to have an extrovert on hand for situations like this.

B: Poke Cekachii's shoulder to get her attention.
She wants clothes too, right? Also, there's something you've been meaning to ask her about...

C: Toss something at Twelve to get her attention.
Something small and fluffy, probably!

D: Get their attention by turning into a dragon.
I mean, it'd probably work??

I'm not sure if we should... touch that money. B, A Lets check on Cekachii's reality.

Toss something small and fluffy at Twelve to get her attention. Like Keireer!

Yep this lady leaves me confused.

Money! But you still need to get to any clothes. B, C

C B Pet stores usually have merch like fish-shaped pillows, you should throw something to that effect.

Well hold on now, do we really want clothes at this point? Everyone else is naked and it’d be a bit odd to be the only one wearing clothes at this point.

Also, where are Twelves nipples? She’s got her pussy out but her nipples are still hidden; she’s gotta let them out to be fully naked like us!

"You know," Keireer says, "if you really want to be naked like us, you should also add nipples!"

"Oh yeah! I forgot about the boobs!"

*Pop!*

...So... she is using polymorph, right?

Speaking of, you've noticed something odd about Cekachii, and your curiosity might just barely be strong enough to overcome your social anxiety.

After spending somewhere between three seconds and three years hyping yourself up, you manage to get yourself to poke her on the shoulder.

Cekachii yelps in surprise as you ask for the hot deets on her weird black tentacle thingies.

She reminds you that she used to have heart problems, but didn't let that stop her from diving and seeing all the cool marine life.

"One day, something went wrong during a dive I went on while visiting an old friend of mine. I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t feel my pulse. I thought that was the end, but next thing I knew I was awake on the seafloor, outside my suit, with a wound healing on my chest. My friend said he did the only thing he could think of to save me. I think he was bleeding too. But ever since then I've had these things! Cool, huh?"

"So you don't actually know how you got them?" you ask. "Just that it happened as a side effect of that surgery?"

She nods. "Yeah. My friend wasn’t planning ahead, and he was afraid connecting us together like this would change me. And it did, but… I think I like myself better like this!"

You don't quite understand, but whatever happens seems to have worked out for her. "Well, I'm glad you're better now."

"Me too."

You smile shyly at her... then remember something important.

"We're still naked!" you exclaim.

"Wait... oh no! All these fish made me forget!"

"C-can you ask Twelve to maybe use that money of hers to buy us new outfits?"

She looks momentarily... disappointed? Maybe? But her expression changes to excitement. "Oh, yeah! That's a good idea!"

You love having good ideas.

For some reason your neurons become oddly quiet as the four of you make your way to a nearby CLOTHING STORE. Somehow, without any SHENANIGANS, you're able to purchase new OUTFITs!

Hurray, clothes! Now the music career you're way too shy to actually start can finally fail to begin!

"Aren't you gonna get yourself an outfit, Twelve?" Keireer asks.

"I'm plenty of clothes!"

That makes sense.

...Hang on. Did she always look like a small fluffy creature? "H-hey, Twelve? Something seems different about you," you say.

"Does it? 'w' "

This is oddly familiar.

Keireer looks to you. "Oh, I almost forgot to mention! Twelve is something of a hive-mind? She has at least four bodies!"

"At least!" Twelve says. "A lot more right now~" she grins even wider.

You're feeling something about this. Definitely feeling something.

"Don't worry," Keireer says, "She's only taken control of part of the local area."

"So far!" Twelve's main? body??? adds.

Now you're feeling several things.

"Let's just file that away in the 'worry about it later' cabinet'"

"Whoa, a whole cabinet~" Twelve says with both bodies at the same time in a totally not creepy way.

Cekachii peeks out from the changing booth. "W-wait, you just gave me a big shirt! Where's the rest?"

Twelve tosses her a bag of fish food and gives her a thumbs up.

You make your way home, and upon seeing the new friends you've made, Mom's one happy bat!

"Ceri! You actually did it!" she squeals. "Now your dad owes me ᵯ10!"

"Wait, did you two bet on if I'd actually go and make friends?"

Dad shrugs. "I had you spending all day at the mall's bookstore because it's technically not the library."

He was very close to being right, to be fair.

Wait, nothing's fair about this! "Daaaad~! You're supposed to believe in meee~!"

Mom beams. "Well I believed in you. That's why I'm the superior parent!"

Dad huffs. "Okay first: it's not a competition and second: Ceri knows she's my baby-girl that I love very much."

"You still bet against me," you say.

"Even amazing dads need to have good financial sense."

"You lost the bet, though."

"...."

Mom looks so smug it can't properly be conveyed in art. "Besides, who was it that got Ceri to go out in the first place~?"

Dad suddenly hands you ᵯ10. "Here, take this and say I win."

Mom gasps. "Wh-- that's my money! I'm the one who won the bet!!!"

Dad's mouth curls into a mischievous grin. "Yes, but wouldn't the best mom in the world want to sacrifice for her beloved daughter?"

"Gh--! You... Yoooooouuuuuu...!"

Yay, you have money now. That makes everything you went through today aaaaaallllll worth it.

...And your new friends too, you guess. Maybe. ᵯ10 though!

Either way, you can rest easy knowing that even a shy girl like you can make friends when she puts her mind to it.

And that's pretty cool.

...And that's the story of SHY ENF CERI! Boy, wasn't that fun?

I had... fun...

Ahaha...

....

Sorry, I know this wasn't quite what you expected. The truth is, I was having a hard time telling this story. ENF isn't my thing, and I tend to feel what my characters feel while writing them, so Ceri's constant anxiety became my constant anxiety.

I know many of you enjoyed this, and I'm really glad you did! It was just tearing me up a bit forcing myself to keep going when I wasn't enjoying myself at all. In the end, I needed to throw in the towel to save my mental health.

I did at least want to do this last update so the thread didn't just hard-die without some closure, even if it's a very rushed closure.

But hey, the game this story was buying time for is done now! There's a couple things to take care of first, but Ceri's canonical story will resume in the coming weeks!

See you then!
