If we open our minds to the existence of other universes, there's no limit to the possibilities that we could experience in the world of boning.

Let me tell you, our kinks and fetishes don't remotely compare to the insane bullshit 4th-dimensional beings get up to. Those guys love to party in ways we can't even perceive properly.

Hmm? Have I piqued your curiosity? Well, then. It's a real shame 4th-dimensional beings are hard as hell to draw. I would need a version of photoshop that won't come out for another 21 years.

No, such a thing simply won't do. Ah, I know. Why don't we start with something simpler? Something more... familiar? Yes, a world full of romance and possibly dragons. It has been quite a while since we've entertained that concept, hasn't it?

Let's begin with our main character. You've spent plenty of time with your creation, which we'll refer to as Nice Ceri. You've even peered into Punk Ceri, as thought up by Nice Ceri. How about something a little different? Let's truly expand our horizons.

A: Sultry Ceri
While Nice Ceri has moments of being sultry and (dare I say) flirty, this Ceri lays it on and never stops laying it on until the thing she's laying on is you. Though less of a casual nudist than Nice Ceri, the clothes she wears leaves you wanting more.

B: ENF Ceri
Embarrassed Nude Female Ceri actually prefers to wear clothes (shocking I know), but the universe conspires to rid her of such things, leading to much blushing and stuttering. Wait, is she enjoying it...? NO BECAUSE APPARENTLY THAT'S NOT HOW ENF WORKS OOPS

C: Shy Ceri
Nice Ceri is Somewhat dominant. This one... isn't. Timid and shy, she nonetheless has a healthy sexual imagination and the desire for someone to take her away and ravage her until the act of walking is but a pipe dream.

D: Grump Ceri
Similar to Punk Ceri, she has more of an edge than our familiar protagonist. However, where Punk Ceri was honest about her feelings, Grump Ceri is very... tsundere about it. She might beat you up a little as you ravage each others' bodies.

We cannot confirm nor deny her similarity to Daatra.

E: Bird Ceri
This one's a bird. I would expect a lot of caw-ing and bird puns. Also the title might change from 'Dragon Romance' to 'Bird Romance'. The second-place winner will determine her personality.


Need a reminder on the voting system? This book does have a lot of dust on it. Let's see...

You have two votes: a PRIMARY VOTE and a SECONDARY VOTE. Use your main vote on what you want most, and your second vote on another option you're fond of.

I kinda get what a few posters are talking about regarding ENF since inclusions of liking it, slowly or not, frequently have different end goals in mind from writers. But arousal on its own can still be ok imo (accidental brushes on the body, etc.) Its the thoughts of "what would others think of me oh no!!" vs. being a pervert that strikes the difference.

Anyway, C, B!

Through the power of this unmanaged democracy, it is decided that we'll follow the path of basically the exact opposite of the Ceri we know and love.

Rather than finding public nudity a thrilling act, this Ceri would rather her clothes stay right where they are. To do otherwise would be... indecent!

Also, this Ceri is SOMEWHAT SHY. Less so than Shy Ceri, but enough so that she'd really be feeling the E in ENF. Convenient that the voting went this direction, huh?

Since ENF Ceri didn't come with an outfit, she'll inherit SHY CERI's outfit instead.

Now then. To facilitate this version of Ceri, I feel there's some important changes that need to be made to her skillset. The ability to TELEPORT or BECOME INVISIBLE make it a bit too easy for her to escape embarrassing situations, wouldn't you say? Heck, even POLYMORPH is giving her a bit too much wiggle room to avoid embarrassment.

To that end, let's decide on a new skillset, shall we? One without TRANSDIMENSIONAL MAGIC.

Let's decide by using our second voting system. In this one, you can select as many options as you want. Keep in mind that the WINNING VOTE will be her PRIMARY SCHOOL, and the second-place vote her SECONDARY SCHOOL.

Tip: The more options you vote on, the less overall power your vote has. If you really want just one option, voting for it alone will give the largest boost. Likewise, if you like 3 options, you can still give them a decent boost by voting on all three. Voting for every option basically does nothing.


What magic should ENF Ceri know?

A: Fire magic.
Conjure heat and fire, resist heat and fire.


B: Ice Magic.
Conjure Ice and cold, as well as resist them.

C: Shock Magic
Shock things and act as a natural battery.

D: Telekinetic Magic
Ability to move objects around with your mind.

E: Psychic Magic:
Infuse and sense emotions in others. At higher levels, can even read their thoughts. Unable to control people, only influence them.

F: Elemental magic
Ceri's draconic nature allows her to harness all three elements (FIRE, ICE, SHOCK) at a lower power level than if she chose one individually. Similar to Canon Ceri's use of TRANSDIMENSIONAL MAGIC. Relative strength of each element will be based on the number of votes they each have.

Before we begin things properly, Let's also decide a couple more details of the world ENF Ceri will inhabit.


Primary/Secondary voting. Dragons are...

X: Feared, much like in Canon Ceri's story.
Ceri will want to hide her True Self, for fear of persecution.

Y: Loved, almost seen as stars.
Ceri will want to hide her True Self, for fear of drawing a ton of attention. She's just too shy for that!

Z: Seen as just another species, albeit a powerful one.
Ceri will find a mortal form easier to draw convenient for mingling with others, but isn't afraid to use her Dragon form in public... so long as she's wearing her polymorph-friendly outfit. Even dragons need their modesty!

And finally, let's have some fun with Ceri's parents. It wouldn't be a proper AU if we just reused her canon parents, right?


Vote for just one. Ceri's adoptive parents are...

G: Mammalians.
They've infused a mammalian sense of modesty since Ceri was young.

H: Avians.
Bird up! They don't quite understand Ceri's sense of modesty, but support her nonetheless.

Remember: You're voting on THREE THINGS. Don't worry, we'll be starting the story after this.

No idea if it's an option, but seeing Giant Growth just has me pondering the possibilities when combined with ENF. Oops Ceri accidentally grew and now she's nude and huge and oh no she's very very visible and people are looking at her and she can't get away~

Anyway... A because fire and lots of embarrassed blushu match well, Z because I'm curious, and H because Bird.

Yeah, strong polymorph but low control could be fun (for us).

I feel like too much Psychic ability would lead to being able to hide from people before she's seen, or be able to detect when people aren't bothered by her nudity, which would take the fun out of it.

Elemental abilities shouldn't offer spectacular abilities in terms of hiding or covering her nudity. Similarly, weak telekinetic abilities offers the chance of helping her cover herself, but with a lot of chances for things to go wrong. (Strong telekinetic abilities probably has less chance of things going wrong)

For dragons: Primary Z, secondary Y - I want to see her insist on wearing clothes as a dragon, and seeing a dragon blush at being naked sounds fun.
For parents: H with breasts - Thank you benevolent Slinko giving us a consolation bird. Presumably this also affects the rest of the birds in the setting, which lets them get on the embarrassment more easily too!

I'd like a little telekinesis to go with that just because it goes so well with being psychic classically, but I'll give it up if it bumps Ceri's psychic sense up enough to be able to read minds.

The people have spoken, and they cry out for the destructive power of... both FIRE MAGIC and TELEKINETIC MAGIC in equal measure?

Ah, the tie vote. What a familiar and not at all vexing situation.

Okay, I'm just gonna pick which goes where... Eeny meeny miny...

Your primary school is FIRE MAGIC. You are quite adept with the very school of magic most dangerous to wield around clothing. Better be careful!

Your secondary school is TELEKINETIC MAGIC, which we'll show here as a bunch of rocks. Because what else would you lift with your mind?

Lots of things, you say? Well, rocks are easy to draw.

Of course, these magical limitations are self-imposed because of the Dragon in the room. Speaking of which...

See, you're actually a DRAGON, powerful beings with incredible defense and magical prowess. As a WATER DRAGON, you swim extremely well and can wield WATER MAGIC, a type of magic unavailable to mortals. Sounds good, right?

Except, dragons are also QUITE LOVED by the mortal races, and the thought of so many eyes peering on you is quite stressful! Doubly so when we consider most dragons don't wear clothes!

Aaaaaa no no no you couldn't possibly handle that.

Thankfully, your mentor and friend of your late dragon parents used LIFE MAGIC to grant you the use of an alternate mortal form. Although LIFE MAGIC, the ability to manipulate life itself, is normally forbidden, you can't help but be grateful that he gave you a way to blend in and avoid attention.

After so many years, the mortal body almost feels more natural than your real one.

Even if he gave it boobs for some reason.

Now, let's dive on in, shall we?

>Oh Ceri, it's time to wake up from your awkward sleep..
What? You sleep quite naturally! In fact, you slept so well you already had breakfast with your MAMMALIAN PARENTS and are now hanging out with them before setting out for the day.

And by 'setting out' you mean 'going straight to the library to hide in a corner and read books'.

"Using your mortal form again, dear?" Mom asks. "You don't have to be shy around us."

"Pretty sure I wouldn't fit through the door," you remind her.

Dad smiles sweetly at you. "Ah, I remember when you were little, running around on all fours and trying to roar like a 'proper dragon.'"

"Dad...!" You blush slightly.

"You were adorable!" your mom says, clearly intending to tease you like she always does.

"Dragons aren't supposed to be adorable!" you protest.

"Why not?"

"Yeah, why not?"

You groan. They're always like this.

"So! What're you planning for today?" Mom asks.

"Oh, uh... I... um..."

"It's so exciting, right Dad? Our little girl promised to go out and finally make some new friends today!"

"That's right, hon," Dad replies.

Shit, did you really promise that? "W-well, I..."

"She even promised to visit the many wonderful locations our small town offers!" Mom says.

"You were planning on doing that and not running straight to the library to hide, right?"

Gh--!! How is she so good at reading you??? She doesn't even have psychic magic!!!

"O-of course I am!" you say. Or rather, you squeak out nervously.

"So where exactly are you going, dear?" she asks as a weight capable of crushing dragons falls upon you.

"N-not-library places like you said! B-but there's just so many of them, you know? It's hard to visit them all!"

In an instant Mom's piercing glare is replaced with a genuine smile. "That's okay, sweety~! You can just take it one at a time! How about you choose just one place to visit for now~?"

Right. Making one simple decision. But uh. Choosing is hard. That's why it is up to you, FAITHFUL NEURONS, to decide!

Where will you visit? (Unless otherwise stated, assume a vote is PRIMARY/SECONDARY from here on).

A: The library WAIT NO MOM WILL KILL YOU.

Okay. Trying again.

A: The park!
Lots of people go there to enjoy the outdoors! Maybe you can pet some dogs, too! A popular spot for kabolds and reptilians.

B: The mall!
Lots of people to meet there, for sure! You just won't mention the BOOK STORE. A popular spot for all races.

C: The gym!
People always make friends while working out, right? A popular spot for mammals.

D: The docks!
Lots of people coming and going off the ships-- they're the only way to access this town in the middle of nowhere. A real melting pot of races to see here.

E: The lake!
Like the park, but with more water! A popular spot for aquatic and avian races.

"Oh! Choosing! I'm good at that thanks to my NEURONS!" you say excitedly.

Dad chuckles. "Seems to me your 'neurons' often have trouble choosing between two things."

"That's true concerningly often. But not this time! I'll be heading to THE MALL to start. There's lots of opportunities to make friends there!"

Mom beams. "What a wonderful idea! Go ahead and spend a few hours there, then check back in with us so we can learn all about the new friends you make~!"

Dad grins at you. "You've got your mother real excited, sweety. Go out there and knock 'em out! Not literally, of course."

A short walk later, you find yourself at the mall entrance. You pause. And then keep pausing. There's people in there. Lots of people. Can you really do this?

The library isn't that far from here. It's not like Mom would know if you...

...Aagh. You couldn't lie to her. You're far too honest a person and her lie-dar's far too powerful.

You need to do this. You're just gonna... step forward. Any moment now. Definitely not gonna distract yourself with--

>Does this Ceri have any friends or no?
You have a friend! It's Daatra! She tried to bully you, but you were so pathetic that she felt sorry for you and took you under her wing. To date she has yet to properly teach you how to dominate people the way she does.


>Some races are alright with nudity while others arent.
That's true! The MAMMALS dislike nudity, and since you were raised by mammal parents you share those sensibilities. The reptilians and some birds don't share this taboo, and of course dragons consider themselves above such things.

Except you, as previously stated.

>Still holding out hope for a second dad / third parent.
A male bat of Mom's species? Something tells you such a thing might show up at some point... especially with how 'open' your parents are about their sexuality. Really open. 'Tell your daughter things she really doesn't want to know' open.

You'll just say 'bats love to swing' and leave it at that.

>I propose F! The wilds outside of town.
W-what if you get lost?? It's nothing but marshland out there!

>what, water dragons like water, who knew?
You may have run the water bill up a few times with your lengthy showers. If your parents were aquatic they'd understand!

Wait, what were you putting off by talking to your neurons, again? Ah right, you were avoiding talking to people.

"Yep! That's me, probably! You looked scared to go in the mall so I can help you out if you'd like!"

S-she's so outgoing...! You could never imagine yourself being like that. Just running around talking to people without a care in the world.

You think about what to say to her. You want to turn her down, but that'd be going against your current mission! No, you have to find the bravery to move past your shyness and strike some kind of conversation. You're a big girl. A big dragon girl. You can do this.

Wait what happened.

Turns out that while you were lost in thought, your brain went on autopilot and followed her inside. This always happens! Why must you put me in these situations, brain???

The green bird continues to beam at you happily. "By the way, my name's Keireer! What's yours?"

"Oh um... C-Ceridwen. Y-you can call me Ceri, though..."

"It’s really nice to meet you, Ceri!!!"

She is way too excited about this.

M-maybe you should get to know her?


What will you do?

A: Ask what her favorite store is.
You don't go to the mall much, so this could be valuable intel.

B: Tell her you're a dragon and see how she reacts.
Wait, you can just do that? Then again, she's already giving you a lot of attention...

C: Ask her to talk about herself.
Might as well do what Mom says and try to make a friend.

D: Wanna go to the bookstore to hide? I mean talk?
Mom did specifically say to avoid the library, not the mall's bookstore!

E: Video games? Video games.

Oh wait Mom's not here.

Guess you'll just go ahead and oh hey neurons you have anything interesting to say???

>We tend to make a career of problem solving!
N-no we don't! We make a career of reading books and trying not to be noticed!

Which is really hard considering the body our mentor gave us to 'hide' in.

>We'll overcome Ceri's shyness by putting her in a safe, book-filled place.
Yes! You knew your neurons had your back!

>Thank goodness you were life-magicked with perfect vision, imagine how nerdy you'd look if you needed avian goggles.
At least nerdy dragons don't tend to get bullied, for obvious reasons. When you first met Daatra, you strongly considered trying to intimidate her with your True Form, before realizing how many eyes would suddenly be on you if you did that.

>You might also mention that she's wearing clothes, even though she's a bird.
L-lots of birds wear clothes! Maybe not as much when they're with other birds but around mammals they do!

>Time to take control! Let's put your strong foot forward!

"So... what are you doing here at the mall today?" she asks.

Come on brain, come up with something normal!

"...Myself? Because I need to make friends! Yeah! wait shit"

Your 'adoptive extrovert' chirps in a way that you can't tell if she's laughing or just excited. What you'd give for some INVISIBILITY MAGIC right now.

"You've come to the right bird for that, *Cheehee~!* I can help you make tons of friends, probably!"

Oh gods what have you gotten yourself into.

Keireer's feathers puff up. "Me, I go from town to town helping people out when they need it and making new friends!"

"A-and you thought I needed help?"

"You looked like someone who needed help and needed a friend, and I can do both of those things!" she chirps.

Did you really look that nervous about entering the mall? Oh geez.

"I'm also hoping I run into a dragon or something," she says. "Or... really anyone who knows cool magic. Magic's awesome, you know? I wish I could use it! How about you? Do you know any magic?"

"Oh, um... I know FIRE MAGIC and can move things around a bit with TELEKINETIC MAGIC I guess..."

You finally make it to the bookstore after that gauntlet of social interaction.

"Oh, this place is really nice!" Keireer says. "I bet you come here all the time, huh?"

"W-well, I tend to spend more time at the library,but..."

"Still! What kind of stuff do you like to read, anyway?"

Oh dear, she's asking about one of the topics you're known to ramble about to your parents. You need to handle this properly, giving a nice concise answer without spilling an ounce of spaghetti.

That's a bit of an in-joke between you and your parents, you see. One time you rambled so hard about a book that you tripped on something and spilled the bowl of spaghetti you were carrying for dinner.


But before we get to the obvious punchline of the joke we just set up, what kind of things do you like to read? (Pick as many as you want)

A: Books about DRAGONS!

B: Historical books about the LORE of the world.

C: Comic books.

D: Interactive stories (what a concept!) where you choose the path the character takes.

E: Fictional stories about ROMANCE.

F: Books about SCIENCE FICTION.

You are total nerd who loves to read about Lore and science.
You love learning about all the species. Especially the shy, shy tridenik. Oh, to be so small and unnoticeable as a tridenik!

Speaking of which, you need to call your mentor later today have a heart to heart about why he gave you a mortal forma with boobs and how that makes you unconfortable.

This is to further bring the idea of a n Embarrassed Nudity Dragon home and not all because asking the big questions to the person who changed your life would be interesting, ba-baka.

W-well, you know what books you like. But can you really like, tell someone your preferences? What if they judge you?? Worse, what if they like the same thing and now you have to have an entire conversation about it???

Even more worse, what if you start to ramble? It'll go great at first, but then you'll start to become aware that you're rambling while also being unable to stop yourself and you'll keep going until either you're interrupted or the sweet release of death comes to free you from this nightmare oh gods.

"For... personal reasons, I'm fascinated by magic. To dragons, magic comes naturally. But mortals originally couldn't use any. Instead, they relied on RITUALS to conjure magic from components. But one day, they figured out a way to infuse themselves with magic they could use at any time. It took several generations, but eventually their attempts bore fruit and now many mortal races have their own magic! Most of the magic is fairly simple, but did you know some races attempted to infuse more complicated stuff like TIME MAGIC and even the forbidden LIFE MAGIC? They never took, which is probably a good thing, but it's wild that they tried, right? Hahaha. Anyway, they tried to show the dragons their newfound abilities hoping the dragons would be proud of them, but the dragons were kinda rude not gonna lie. There was almost a war about it, but the mammals looked so cute the dragons just couldn't stay mad, you know? And like, it's fascinating how magic's changed over time. Rituals aren't used much anymore, but magic was still able to evolve alongside the mortals it was infused inside. Things really went nuts during the Great Magic Shift, where certain schools of magic kinda transformed into others. Did you know PSYCHIC MAGIC and TELEKINETIC MAGIC were originally the same thing? Pretty wild, huh? They came from the same RITUAL MAGIC! Man, at one point they even tried combining schools of magic to form COMBINATION MAGIC, inventing schools of magic even the dragons didn't use! Of course, it wasn't that hard for dragons to catch back up, but for a small period of time you could argue the mortals had superior magical ability. Not as powerful, maybe, but a hell of a lot more versatile. Am I rambling? I'm rambling, aren't I? ...Man, time magic is wild. People theorized for years that there was a way to reverse time, but all anyone's figured out how to do is slow it down. I read in an old math textbook that someone once came up with a formula for how much MP you'd need for each percent you slowed down time, and bringing time to a stop would require more magical energy than even dragons have! Pretty nuts, right? Haha. Even slowing time down 20% is basically impossible for mortals. RITUAL MAGIC is more effective, but that requires a lot more setup and will only buy you a few seconds of time. Heh, time. Actually, I'm surprised the mortals haven't infused themselves with WATER MAGIC ever. It's not that complex a school of magic... heck, ICE MAGIC is basically the same thing but cold! But maybe it just feels easy to me because I'm--"

In a moment of raw panic, you tap into your DRACONIC POWERS and conjure forth some WATER MAGIC with which to put out the Pesky Panic Flames (PPF).

"Oh thank gods that put it out," you say in a very short-lived relief as you realize you just 100%, without a doubt, confirmed to Keireer you are a dragon because mortals can't use WATER MAGIC oh no.

You glance over to Keireer, who has a look on her face you can only describe as someone going 'oh gods that's a dragon that's a dragon eeeeeeeeeeee~!!!'. This confirms your assumption, and your doom.

What's happening? Every fiber of your being is screaming to run away, but this bird's soothing chirps are keeping you in place.

"Hey, I'm sorry for scaring you like that!" she says. "How about I make it up to you? I'll buy you any outfit you want!"

"W-what? You'd do that for me?"

"Sure! That’s what friends are for, right?"

Friends...? You're not sure how to react. Daatra's never been so nice to you, and she's the only other source of information on this 'friend' thing!


"Come on, I'll take care of you. What store do you like to shop at, anyway?"

A: Mammal Emporium
A clothing store suited for mammals. Their clothes tend to be thinner, as mammals have fur providing their warmth. They also rarely carry things in your size, but tight clothes are better than hole-filled clothes.

B: Lizard Love
Clothes for reptilians. They're more likely to have holes for your horns to fit through, but also tend to be more revealing since other reptilians aren't nearly as concerned with nudity as you are. They should cover up enough to get you by, probably.

C: Love Yourself!
A new store in town that seems to cater to those who wish to alter how they look to others. Their motto says something about showing the world your 'True Beauty'... basically, looking outwardly how you see yourself inwardly. They could have something for your somewhat unique body type.

D: Suit up!
A clothing store for the business-savvy person. If you want to look suave and professional, this is the place to go.

There's a chance she'll try to come with you, and a chance you'll be too timid to tell her no.

Reptilian wear suits your cover best. A place dedicated to custom fits would probably be able to match your tastes best, though—but it might get people asking questions about what you've been hiding.

This bird is awfully friendly. It's an easy thing for someone inexperienced in the ways of friendship to miss, but buying someone a big gift after you've just met is not normal, and might be cause for suspicion. Is she some sort of dragon hunter desperate to get on your good side?

Yeah see this is why you don't run around in your dragon form.

You make your way back home and Real Mom glares at you with the same intensity of Imaginary Mom.

"What're you doing back here." She says. Oh wait, was that a question? Oh geez.

"I-I uh... I burned my clothes again."

"Honey, it's been half an hour. You can't make friends if you burn your clothes off the moment someone speaks to you."

Your eyes plead to Dad to save you.

He obliges. "Now, now. Ceri's doing her best, right? It's all about baby steps."

She makes a grumpy bat sound. "Hmph! At least close the door behind you!"

"Oh uh, about that..."

You turn towards the doorway and wave Keireer inside.

You're so cute~! Do you use feather-conditioner? That outfit looks so good on you! Wow are your boobs bigger than mine? I'm so jealous, *Squeehee~!*"

It would seem that you have successfully pleased your mother.

yeah you're good at imagining what she's like

Mom turns to you, the happiness of the world in her eyes. "Now come on, Ceri! You gotta be a good host! What're your plans? They have to be good plans! Dragon plans! wait were we keeping that secret I forget."

You sigh. "Yeah, but it's fine. It turns out I'm not very good at keeping secrets."

B. We vent to Keireer about the difficulties of being a disguised dragon in a world where everyone treats you as a celebrity for existing. Maybe she’ll exceed expectations and have empathy for our condition.


D is right out of the scope of reasonability. As least treat a lady bird lady to a night out first you damn horny animals. But since D is the other big thing….We’ll have a transformation malfunction in a confined stance, requiring Keireer to shove our scaly butt out the door or some other suitably embarrassing predicament.

You're here to make friends; ask her about what sort of stuff she likes to do. She's eager to talk, so you shouldn't have a problem asking bluntly "What do you like to do when you go to your friends' house?"

>Huh, wha, dragon planes? Oh, no. ...but what if dragon planes?
Sounds cool! But how would you ride... oh geez.

>Nerd out about magic and rant about how everything inevitably ends in a generic support healer build.
That's a terrifying thought. The only way to heal wounds is by using LIFE MAGIC, a school of magic capable of changing life itself. In mortal hands, it could lead to some truly unspeakable things.

It's probably for the best that mortals consider it forbidden. Even dragons are loath to touch that particular school of magic!

>Hey Ceri, do you think the bookstore in the mall is gonna ban you because the owner is afraid that you'll damage the books with either fire or water? Or do you think you managed to get out of there without being noticed and you can go back to the bookstore later?
The owner's usually asleep, so you're probably fine.

>Does your mom feel the same way about your boobs?
You know better than to ask. but probably

>Just because your dragon form doesn't wear clothes doesn't mean it's naked! Can a quadruped even be considered naked?
From what you understand, dragons are similar to reptilians in that they don't consider nudity to be an issue. But you've grown up with a mammal family, so the thought of doing that is...!


Okay, enough spacing out. "I um, I think my plan is to switch outfits and head back out to find more friends I guess?"

Mom emits several high-frequency bat-sounds that your giant ears graciously amplify for you. Thanks, ears. thears

"Our daughter's going outside! On her own! Without us making her do it!!!"

Wait, dad's excited?? "Oh, this is wonderful, dear! It's just like I told ya, you just have to get out there and the friends will flow like fine wine!"

"Especially if you offer them fine wine!" Mom adds.

"We should drink some of our own fine wine to celebrate this occasion!"

"To our daughter finally meeting other people!"

"And to her actually talking to them!"

"Maybe she'll even find some romance!"

"Honey please my heart can't handle the thought of her doing that!"

"But what if she does, though!?"

"I can't wait to meet Ceri's partner and act like the tough dad that has to be won over!"

"And-- and I get to be the caring mom who holds you back!"

"Which you're really good at because you're much stronger than me."

"I know~"

It's not often you see them act so... lively. Their excitement is infectious enough that you're almost not completely terrified at the thought of actually trying to ask someone out.

Well, while they're distracted with that, you'll slip into your room and decide on a NEW OUTFIT to wear.

Hoping this outfit lasts longer than the last one, you set out with Keireer to... what was it, again?

'Make tons of new friends'?

Aw man, that means you have to talk to people. You're gonna mess up and say cringy things that you'll think about every night for the next 30 years.

"Your parents seem nice, Ceri!" Keireer says.

"Yeah they seem uh, they seem excited to meet you. They probably think you'll introduce me to a ton of new people or something."

"I can do that!" She chirps happily.

"W-wait, what?"

"Sure, I've met a lot of interesting people here! I bet they'd love to meet a real life dragon face-to-face~"

"L-let's not tell people I'm a dragon, okay? It's so embarrassing..."

"Oh, of course! Still, though, I'm sure they'd love to meet you."

"Oh geez."

"And you have to introduce me to your sister!"

"E-eh??"

"Your mom was talking about her while you were switching outfits! Your sister sounds pretty cool, *Chirp~!*"

"She's something, all right."

Daatra isn't actually your sister in the physical sense. Rather, the two of you share a sisterly bond formed by your mutual dislike of talking to other people. It could be nice to have her around for support.

Then again, she might beat you up for dragging her into this.

not that she'd do any damage. dragon scales are tough.

Anyway, guess it's time to continue this whole 'meeting people' thing. Where to?

A: Park.
According to Keireer, there's a gator-woman hanging out at the pond. She's from a backwater community. Even more backwater than this place. Keireer asks you to keep an open mind, since she's still adjusting to the sensibilities of non-reptilians...

B: Gym.
A 'nearvan' often works out here. Nearvans are avian creatures Apparently he's a musician? It could be neat to hear him play something! Keireer warns he's a little... flirty. But don't worry, she says, she'll make sure he flirts with her instead of you!

C: Return to the mall.
Speaking of nearvans, there's also one here. He's also a musician... Keireer insists it's not the same person. He's also flirty, but in a more playful and non-serious way?? You couldn't imagine being like that.

D: Dragon Fan Club.
Keireer looks around nervously. There's a... creature here that's hard to describe. But she's really nice, Keireer insists! She is... multiple creatures at the same time? With one 'main' body and uh... just don't worry about that right now, haha. She's really nice!

E: Docks.
An owl-like birb is here! She's out to explore the world and see the sights, and is apparently good at sneaking up on people? Oh gosh.

F: Library.
Apparently there's a science-focused kigavi who hangs out here? Kigavi are quadrupedal bird-like creatures with 2 wings and 4 legs. Apparently they have both beans and sossiges??

G: Spa.
A creature known as a 'yinget' frequents the spa. They're smaller creatures with long thin limbs, long necks, and a big ol tooth in the front of their mouth. You might have to fight the urge to pet her.

H: Lake.
There's a 'keybain' living here hanging out at the lake. Keybains are another species of um, bird. Gosh, Keireer knows a lot of birds, huh? Keireer reports she's really chill, and really really sleepy. Wait, hold on, did she say in the lake? That's not a safe place to sleep! ...Keireer insists it's probably fine.

I: Daatra's House.
Would Daatra help you out, or make fun of you? Only one way to find out.

>But does [Daatra] also know that you're a dragon?
She's one of the few people you've felt comfortable telling, yes. She simply shrugged and said 'Cool', but you swear you saw a small glimmer of excitement in her eyes.

>She doesn't know many guy friends?
>And a male friend is gonna be essential at some point too.
Talking to boys? Oh gosh, you're far too shy for that. What if they try to flirt? Or... engage in DRAGON ROMANCE? You could never...!

....

"S-so, I couldn't help but notice most of your friends are girls...?"

"Haha, that tends to happen! Guys often hang out with guys, and vice versa. But don't worry, the guys I do know are single, *chirp~!*"

"I wasn't--!"

"*Cheeheehee~*"

>...Are we going to meet everyone here eventually? You should pose that ask to Keireer.
What, like... verbally? Sigh... at least your parents appreciate all the SOCIAL ENERGY you're spending. Should that be a mechanic? ...Eh.

"You sure have a lot of friends!" you say. "Are we gonna end up meeting them all?"

"Haha, they're not all friends yet, but I'd like for them to be someday! They're all pretty cool though, so... maybe we can befriend them together!"

Oh... maybe social energy should be a mechanic. Yeah, you might not be able to meet everyone in a single day. But you'll probably make an effort to meet everyone eventually... if only to see your parents be happy and cute again.

"Maybe we should start with someone who you're already friends with?" you suggest.

"Sure! How about Cekachii? We go way back!"

"Sounds good. Uh. Which one's that, again?"

You make your way to the LAKE OF NOT VERY MUCH DOOM. A fitting name for such a calm place, you uh... guess.

You look around, but don't see anyone around. "Oh, I guess she's not here?" you ask.

"Oh, no, she's definitely here~" Keireer points towards the lake itself. "She said she was going in to look for 'cool fish' a few hours ago."

"...What? Like, in the lake? I'm pretty sure keybains don't breathe water."

Keireer smiles broadly, as if basking in the moment of telling someone a grand secret. "Cekachii's different! Um, I mean... I bet she's napping in her MECHANICAL SUIT!"

Ah, that's right, isn't it? The keybain are an advanced species with higher technology than you see around these parts. Many of them create robotic suits that enhance their physical abilities. It's one of the main ways you tell them apart from other avians.

Cekachii's suit must allow her to breathe underwater. That'd sound useful if you didn't already have a way to do that.

Wait...

"So uh, how do we get to her from here?" you ask, fearing the answer.

"Well, I can think of a couple options! You could use your KINETIC MAGIC to try and pull her up, or we could just wait here for her to surface. Or... I guess you could use your dragon form to swim down there?"

"Well, you used WATER MAGIC earlier, which only WATER DRAGONS can use, and it's common knowledge they have gills."

"It's scary how perceptive you are."

You get the feeling she really wants you to pick that final option.


Being a dragon would mean... getting naked. Okay neurons, pick an alternate option!

A: Telekinetic magic that thing right up!
A wonderful idea!

B: Let's hang out and wait!
Character development! I love it!

C: Maybe we should visit someone else for now?
We'll come back when she wakes up!

Learning how to set boundaries is an important part of cultivating healthy relationships. You can tell Keeireer that you're not comfortable exposing your form to her right now, and that maybe she could take you to someone else, that wouldn't require you to do magic or transform. If she's insistent,then you can relent and try your magic kinesis.

"Yeeeaah, I'm just gonna lift her up with my TELEKINETIC MAGIC, if you don't mind."

"Oh... that's fine!"

Though she tries to mask it, there's a disappointment in her voice that makes you feel a bit guilty. But you have to consider your own comfort, right?

....

Maybe... maybe if the two of you get to know each other better, you'll feel more comfortable showing her 'that' side of you.

Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.

>Is the suit heavy? Its totally heavy aint it?
Totally.

Hrrrrggghhhhh... argh! It's not budging.

What'd you expect? TELEKINETIC MAGIC isn't your main school, so it's obviously weaker than your FIRE MAGIC. You could probably pull it off as a dragon, but this mortal body has built-in limitations to bring it in line with the mortal races.

...With one exception.

If you tap into your draconic WATER MAGIC, focusing on having the lake itself push the aquatic birb upward while you pull with TELEKINETIC MAGIC, you might just be able to pull this off.

You prefer to avoid using WATER MAGIC outside of emergencies like earlier, but... you'll do it this once. For friendship.

And just like that, the bird and her MECHANICAL SUIT have been extracted. It's much larger than you expected! No wonder that was so hard.

"Wow! You're really amazing, Ceri!" Keireer says, her earlier disappointment replaced with awe at the raw magical might you had put on display.

You can't help but blush slightly. "A-ah, well... so how do we open this thing, anyway?"

"I'm not sure! Cekachii's never really told me how it works, exactly."

"Should we uh... try to wake her?"

"We can try! She's a pretty heavy sleeper, though."

You think back to your childhood, and your struggles to wake your father so he'd take you to the playground at the park. Could one of your Secret Awakening Techniques work here too...?

You put this wonderful idea to action, using everything you have to lift and lightly shake the MECHANICAL SUIT.

It's easier to lift now that it's close to you, but you can't keep doing this much longer. You shake harder and harder in desperation as your Magical Prowess (MP) starts to run dry.

Uh... it's true that dragons normally find themselves above such things as mortal clothing, but your MAMMALIAN IDEALS are so ingrained that the thought of doing that only adds to your current panic levels.

Maybe the dragon part of you would be trying to break free if it was like, locked away or something, but as it stands your dragon-self and mortal-self share a single mind in perfect harmony.

Man, life's pretty great when there's no giant shoe just waiting to drop. Keeps things nice and simple.

"I'm... having some trouble. What if she wakes up while I'm...!?"

"Oh? What'd be wrong with that?"

"A-are you kidding?? She's so... exposed!"

"Well it's a good thing you have that scarf, then!"

"E-even if she doesn't wake up, I'm pretty sure I'd have to touch naked stuff to put this on her. And what if she wakes up while I'm touching naked stuff??? Oh gods, I can't do it."

"*Cheehee~* Would you like me to do it for you?"

"yes please"

You're not sure how you feel about how adorable Keireer seems to find you in this moment.

You hand her your scarf, then look away as she gets to work. Is it dragon-y to be this shy? ...It must be, since that's how you feel right now.

"Keireer...? Why'd you wake me up early? Must be something important."

"I wanted you to meet my new friend!" Keireer beams.

"Oh..."

"Keireer where's my suit."

"It's right over there! We had a lot of trouble getting you out of that pond."

"Oh okay cool where's my pants."

"We maybe kinda sorta locked them inside your MECHANICAL SUIT."

"Oh no."

"C-can't you open the suit to get at them?" you ask.

"Yeah, as long as you didn't shake it too hard or jam the lock shut or something."

"Uuuuuuhhhhh..."

"Heeey it's okay!" Keireer says. "You look pretty cool like that! The purple goes really well with the blue of your jammies!"

Does it? For some reason, you can't tell.

"I-I do think your jammies look cute..." you say.

"Oh, thanks... *Yaawwwnnn*..."

Oh... that's... a really good point. Let's not do that.

The KEYBAIN are odd in that they share the modesty of mammals. Possibly moreso, as they like to construct MECHANICAL SUITS to further hide their bodies.

...Huh. By shaking Cekachii out of her suit, were you... in a way... disrobing her?

Oh geez. Oh gosh.

"That's great! I didn't think you'd find one, Keireer!"

"Yeah! I saw someone who looked lonely and was like 'I'll be that person's friend!' I wasn't even trying to find a dragon that time!"

See, this is exactly the reason you try to keep your dragon-ness a secret.

a task you're currently failing pretty hard at, admittedly


Keireer needs to do a better job keeping the secret. What do you do? (Vote 1)

X: Scold her.
Wait, can you actually do that, shy as you are?

Y: Make extra sure she please please please doesn't give it away so easily.
Please?

Z: Don't say anything.
Technically Cekachii doesn't know for sure you're a dragon. Why confirm it?


Also, since Keireer (and your mother) insists you meet more people, where to? (Primary/secondary)

A: The Gym.
A male 'nearvan' might be here. This definitely wasn't made the first option because you have a weird thing for gym equipment.

B: Mall, part 2.
A male 'nearvan' is here as well. Probably a different person?

C: The Docks.
A female owl-like birb is here. Owls are neato!

D: Dragon Fan Club.
A 'hard to describe' creature is here...? Keireer says she's really nice!

E: Library.
Mom said not to go here, but there's a kigavi here... so you have to come here to make friends! Yeah!

F: Spa.
A female 'yinget' is here. Apparently they're pretty popular creatures?

G: Daatra's House.
You have no idea who's here. Haha, just kidding. It's... it's Daatra.

H: The park.
A gator-woman is here cooling off at the pond. She's not used to mammalian sensibilities...?

>Hey, at least you've got a shared passion for getting wet. Perhaps you could nerd out over a hypothetical dragon mech suit, and bond over an aversion to nudity?
Oh man, a dragon mechanical suit would be so cool. And it'd let you go around as your true self without-- wait that would attract more attention wouldn't it.

...It'd almost be worth it.

E-either way, you need to spend a little more time with her before you're ready to go into such a long and involved conversation. That's a lot of talking!

>And you need to make guy friends at some point. The birds should draw most of the attention anyway.
Talking to boys? Oh gosh. Oh geez.

>Why did THAT stay in this universe??
Just kidding! Besides, it's not the equipment that interests you but the attractive people operating them, flexing those big, strong muscles...

Look, even a shy girl has needs, okay??

>you're surrounded by birds, you're building yourself a flock.
Weird how many birds there are, huh? You briefly wonder if, in an alternate universe, there were almost no bird characters and all that pent up bird-energy (birdergy?) is being released here.

Nah, that'd be silly.

>X, you can scold her precisely BECAUSE you are shy, and she told your secret! too many people know and then the TOWN knows!

>How are you familiar enough with their butler to be able to speak to him despite his masculine charms, and think of him as "the butler" in your internal monologue? That's very rude! Apologise to him in your brain!
S-sorry!! You just felt a need to be descriptive for some reason! His name's Taldri.

Why wouldn't you be familiar with him? You've known him almost as long as you've known Daatra herself!

>Don't feel terrible about setting up boundaries, everyone needs them
It's strange. You often feel bad for upsetting people, but this... this was something else. You didn't detect any PSYCHIC MAGIC, and yet seeing that cheerful birb look sad hit you harder than any sad bird has ever hit you.

Not that sad birds hit people that often-- you know what I mean!!

It must be some kind of bird super-power.

>Daatra has a fancy butler? Is her dad fancy? Is she fancy? Is her mom present in her life, and fancy?
So many fancy questions! Daatra herself is hardly fancy, but as for her dad...

Well, let's hold that thought for a bit~

Oh gods it actually is up to you this time isn't it. Uhhhhh.

"H-how about we check out the GARDEN? That sounds nice and peaceful."

"Oh! That's a lovely idea!" Keireer says.

"But... aquarium..." Cekachii mumbles.

Keireer hugs her, eliciting a surprised chirp from the yellow bird. Oh, she's yellow by the way. Not Keireer, she's green. You're either blue or green depending on who you ask. aqua?

"We can check that out later!" Keireer says.

Taldri, who you've known far too long to refer to by job title alone, offers a soft bow. "Very well. Please follow me."

You hear several chirps, either from your companions showing their appreciation or the aviary nearby.

"Well, it's no aquarium but this place seems pretty cozy!" Cekachii says. "You could lie down in the grass and listen to the fountain, maybe play some board games..."

She reaches for the scarf struggling to protect her modesty, then hesitates.

"I uh... I normally have some in my suit, but..." She tugs at her shirt while blushing slightly.

"Be careful while you're here," your dear friend Taldri, who is much more than a mere job description, says. "Don't wanna get your clothes caught on any thorns."

"You know she's joking, right??"

>Ask them if they have any favorite kinds of plants or flowers since we are in the place to go looking to find any.
"S-so! Um... any flowers or um, plants you guys enjoy?"

Cekachii perks up. "Technically it's a type of animal and not a plant, but we should normalize giving people bouquets of sea anemones as gifts! They're prettier than flowers and some have symbiotic relationships with photosynthetic algae so that should count I think!"

You blink. "W-wow! That's... not at all what I expected! What about you, Keireer?"

She beams. "I like petunias!"

>Talk about each time you narrowly escaped embarrassing situations in the past caused by your powers. You're gotten hilariously good at not being spotted when we the universe doesn't intervene!
N-no!

>Tell them about someone you secretly admire, Skif!
Boats are okay, you guess.

>Maybe talk more about how you know Daatra too. Would the fact you're a mighty dragon have something to do with being best buds with the bourgeoisie?
It'd probably be better to discuss this with Daatra around. She'd beat you up if you didn't let her tell her side of things!

Okay, she'd try to beat you up but fail because your dragon scales are super tough.

>I want to hear more about Keireer's deal. She's been acting suspiciously normal!
"Why don't you tell me more about yourself, Keireer? You seem pretty normal!"

Yes this is a thing people say about each other, how normal they are. can't wait for your brain to replay this moment at 4am for the next 30 years

"Of course I'm normal!" Keireer says excitedly. "I have a few issues with my memories, but who doesn't, am I right?"

"Ah, yeah, I have trouble remembering stuff too," you say. "Sometimes I'll think I did something as myself, but it turns out I did it while in mortal form, heehee..."

Oh she's really perked up now. "You too, huh?? I'm the same way! Sometimes I remember meeting an ancient precursor race that erased my memories and flung me into the future, and sometimes I remember a god putting a curse on me while also erasing my memories! Life's funny like that, right?"

"Uh."

Cekachii places a hand on your shoulder. "Yeah, I'm probably the only normal one here."

>Ask Cekachii what kind of board games she likes! And then when you've lured her into a false sense of security, ask her why she wasn't wearing any underwear!
"S-so Cekachii! What um... board games do you like?"

"*Chirp!* Oh, I love board games! Especially the ones that are simple and easy to set up, but hard to master. Stuff that you can spring on unsuspecting friends at a moment's notice, like playing cards or those magnetic waterproof chess boards!"

"Those are a thing??"

"Lots of things are waterproof if you do it right!" She says, her voice oddly full of experience.

Feeling strangely confident, you ask your next question. "Also I'm glad my scarf's helping, but um why didn't you have any underwear on?"

What the hell did you just ask? Oh gods, confidence smashed. Another entry added to the 4am mental torture sessions.

She huffs at your question (aaaa), a slight blush forming on her cheeks. "T-the pajamas are my underwear, okay? I wear them under my suit! That's what underwear is!"

Right, keybains are weird in that they consider giant MECHANICAL SUITs to be clothing.

She continues, "Also I feel really cramped wearing anything tighter than this. I got used to wearing hospital gowns all the time while growing up, and my feathers are kinda sensitive..."

"Wow, I didn't know feathers felt anything," you admit. "Wait, hospital gowns? Oh no."

"I wouldn't worry about it," she says.

That's right, isn't it? Some mortals have issues with disease, or otherwise end up feeling weak and needing help. You've always been amazed at how much the mortal races are able to help each other, working together for the benefit of all.

A lot of dragons end up feeling too proud or confident in their power to ever admit they need help. Even you sometimes hesitate to rely on others.

>Compliment that cool suit Cekachii had, it was pretty cool
"Oh! I think your MECHANICAL SUIT's pretty cool, Cekachii!"

"Me too! I hope we get to look at it a whole bunch of times."

"Yeah! We can really focus on all its subtle details!"

Somewhere far away, you hear someone crying.

"It's probably fine to call it a mech suit, I don't think that's copyrighted."

"...What got you interested in water stuff? It's almost like you have a special affinity for it which I get because like, water dragon, but I'm just curious I guess??"

It's Cekachii's turn to perk up. "Oh! Well, back when I was a kid I was stuck in a hospital a lot, as you can guess from what I said a moment ago. My weak heart limited my mobility greatly, but I was still able to visit this huge aquarium we had back home sometimes. Being surrounded by water and fish... it was as if I traveled to a new world. It was so calm and peaceful..."

"Aww, I'm glad you at least had that going for you," you say.

"Yeah. But all that heart stuff is uh, 'fixed' now, and my love of fish led to me getting a career as a diver! Did you know people will pay you to take notes on all the weird fish you see? Talk about getting a job doing what you love (and were already doing anyway)!"

"Haha, good to hear things worked out in the end!"

"I wouldn't mind taking some notes on you too, miss water dragon~"

"U-um... m-maybe later."

Books! Of course! Brilliant idea for a distraction!

"S-so hey what kind of books do you cute gir-- I mean girls enjoy?"

Forget 4am your brain's gonna bug you about that one at all times of day.

Keireer smiles. "I enjoy books about magic! And dragons! And stories with good characters! Also romance! Put all four together and you've got a winning formula!"

All four? Is such a thing even possible?

Again it's Cekachii who seems the more energetic of the two. "Oh, there's actually a really nice book Keireer recommended to me for reasons we won't go into called 'Passion from the Deep'."

"Oh, that one!" Keireer says. "I knew you'd like it!"

"Yeah! It's about the Kraken, a legendary squid-like dragon that has slumbered beneath the sea since the world was cold and lifeless. It dreamt unknowable dreams, until one day it awoke and rose to the surface only to find the world full of life! It set out to scour the planet clean and return it to the way it once was."

"Oh dear!"

"It's okay! Once it surfaced, the Kraken met a simple fisherwoman who asked why it sought to destroy all life. The mighty dragon paused, realizing that it didn't know. It simply did what came natural. She responds that life itself is natural, and she'd be happy to show it all the wonderful things there are to see."

You muse, "Huh. Dragons aren't normally that powerful. Whoever wrote that really put us on a pedestal."

Cekachii only slightly fails to hide her disappointment. "Anyway, the book eventually becomes this cute and surprisingly believable story of two vastly different minds struggling to understand each other and find love!"

"Believable outside the dragon thing?" you ask.

"Anyway, I should probably warn you that the book gets pretty... steamy. Much more than you might expect."

"Oh my...! That is an unusual pairing! The dragon is squid-like, you said? ...wait... Is this some kind of tentacle thing!?"

Keireer beams. "That's why I recommended it to her!"

Cekachii's feathers get really really puffy. "HAHA HEY LET'S CHANGE THE SUBJECT HEY THIS CAPE YOU LENT ME IS PRETTY NICE HUH MAYBE YOU CAN TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT NEXT TO THIS COOL POND--"

"Is everyone okay?" Keireer asks. "Nobody got pricked by any thorns, right?"

"I'm all right!" Cekachii says.

M-maybe they're not freaking out nearly as much as you are. I-if you can just calm yourself and act cool, the three of you will end up laughing about this later while drinking booba tea.

These weird birds seem to be taking their situation much better than Ceri... Oh wait no the yellow one's crying a bit.

"That was my favorite pair of pajamas..."

The green bird's in much better spirits. "So you're Daatra? We're Ceri's new friends! I'm Keireer and that's Cekachii!"

"Ceri made new friends? Next you'll tell me the moon exploded."

"It's true!" Keyrear insists. "Her mom bullied her into making friends, and then she met me! And I decided to help her out!"

"Ah, so Myra's involved. I should have known."

Ceri's mother's always playing 4D chess. Not sure how this random nudity fits into her mad schemes, but that could just be Ceri being Ceri.

"All right, I guess you're in luck, then. Taldri's a wizard at repairing clothing. ceri gives him a lot of practice. He can get you all fixed up."

Kebachii perks up. "Oh, really? That'd be great!"

"Sure. It'll probably take him a day or two, though, considering how severe the damage is."

How do you feel about Ceri making friends with some other cute bird girls? You aren't worried your easily socially pressured friend might get into trouble without your firm guidance, are you? You might have to assert your dominance as their senior in Ceri friendship and keep these new nerds in line, too.

Clearly the best way to do that is to make them all undress completely while you shamelessly take them to buy sone new clothing. Nobody's going to try telling them to cover up while you're in charge.

Okay, my clothes wouldn't really fit them so let's get them some towels.

>Aw I wanted Ceri to just explode clothes more. Petered out too easily.
As funny as it'd be, unfortunately Ceri made me care about her, that jerk. Besides, isn't it a bit early for such a major explosion? There'd be nothing to look forward to if she blew her panicky load right away.

Not that I'm looking forward to seeing that because of all the aforementioned 'caring' stuff.

...maybe I did step in a bit too soon...

Wait no she'd have probably made me naked, too. Yeah, this was the right course of action.

Probably.

>Daatra's wardrobe (and the bird herself) is hot and badass
Heh. Nice to see some good opinions around here.

No self-esteem issues here. I know I'm awesome.

>We'll just need to find an excuse to damage Daatra's clothes too, for reasons.
Hah. I'm probably the final boss of whatever clothing damage you're planning. Good luck.

Er, bad luck. I don't actually want you to succeed.

>Damn, you can put Ceri under with just a rub to her snoot? How do you learn this sort of thing? Did you and Ceri "experiment" a lot before?
What? Haha, nah... I'm pretty sure she thinks of me as her sister, and I'm pretty sure I feel the same way about her.

No, I saw it on TV once and thought to try it out one of the many times Ceri was freaking out. Lo and behold, it works even when she's using her 'mortal' form.

>Daatra, as Ceri's best friend, you know that Ceri's definition of "multiple copies" of her outfit is her panic answer of "actually just has 2."
She has a second outfit!?

>You know what giving them towels is great comedy down the line :3c.
Shhh, let's not reveal the real reason I'm doing this.

Okay, I hand everyone their towels and point them to the nearest bathroom so they can get changed.

Huh? What?

Last you remember Daatra was abusing your biggest weakness to calm you down. You can't even be mad that was probably the right thing to do.

And now you're all wearing towels?? Did you manage to wrap yourself up while still in TONIC IMMOBILITY? That's kind of impressive, to be honest.

Cekachii is blushing lots. "I-I don't think my towel's long enough!"

Daatra shrugs. "They're long enough for me."

"You're taller than me!!!"

"I dunno, maybe your giant tits are making it tighter than normal."

"My--!!!" Cekachii blushus even harder, not seeming to know how to respond to Daatra's up-front nature.

Keireer beams. "That just makes it more exciting, right?"

"No!?!?!?!?"

Really, you're the one who should be worried. You don't have feathers partially covering up your uh... l-lady bits like they do.

And while you're shorter than Cekachii, your um, chest, is a bit um... larger than hers. So you're in danger too if you bend your body too much!

Yeah, these towels are very much a temporary solution. You should get everyone to the MALL as soon as possible to buy replacements.

Suddenly you hear a male voice. "Oh, is this where you kids are hanging out?"

"Oh, are these your new friends, babygirl?" he asks.

Daatra smirks. "They're Ceri's new friends, but I might end up adopting them too."

"That's wonderful! It's nice to see you branching out, Ceri! Your mom must be pleased as peaches."

"H-haha yeah she's pretty stoked," you say. "I'm not sure I've ever seen her so happy."

He offers a smile only a dad could offer, one full of pride. In a way, he's been something of a second father to you, after all.

that one neuron must be so happy right now

"In that case, let me help you out a bit. Our mansion's felt a bit empty since Daatra's mom passed away, so why don't you use it as a base of operations? You can bring new friends here to hang out while you're running around town! Then, once you're done making new friends, we can throw a big ol' party for them!"

That's pretty convenient. For some reason you feel you shouldn't have more than THREE PEOPLE with you at a time. If you were making a comic of your life, you certainly wouldn't want to draw more than that!

boy you hope you don't freak out and do something embarrassing at that party

A-anyway, Daatra probably won't come with you right now, so you're probably good to keep the birbs with you for the moment. You'll want to come here after meeting another new friend, so you can make room for more.

"Thanks, sir! I really appreciate that," you say.

"It's my pleasure. I bet Daatra will enjoy the company, too!"

Daatra lets out a huffy chirp.

Okay, your next move is probably to go to the mall for clothes (does this mean you'll be wearing a new OUTFIT? Oh geez.). For the moment...

How short could that towel really be on her? Let's find out! Try tossing Cekachii something to catch, or holding her hands, so she can't pull it down!

If it's really bad, suggest that she turns the towel vertically instead! That way it'll be long enough to cover her on top and bottom! She'll just need to keep a tight grip on it since it won't wrap...

Not a single worry in that head of hers, and it's wonderful. Cekachii seems to be stealing the group's bashfulness. Offer her a hand, tell her she looks cute/fine, and stand in front of her to help cover her. Embrace the calm.

Also, DILF bat spotted! Uh, Enhance Knockers? What's girl code say about crushing on your best friend's dad? Thank both of them for the very soft towels. Should you curtsy or bow or something? What does Daatra's Dad do?

Hey, can Mr. Daatra's Dad drive you to the mall? Totally not an excuse to hang out with him and Daatra a little longer. Might have to be careful about how you sit, and any convenient pot holes, but it'll get you into the action/mall faster. Need tactical insertion for this stealth mission. There are cute guys and books at the mall, after all.

You're being very careful not to make any sudden movements.

"Man, you three have such huge tits. What's up with that?" Daatra asks. Wait-- Daatra no!!!

"Guess the three of us are pretty blessed!" Keireer says with her usual cheerful chirps.

Cekachii blushes (more). "I-it's not like I chose to be this way!"

You double check your towel before daring to emote with your arms. "Yeah, it's not like we used POLYMORPH to make giant tits. I mean, who does that?"

"Crazy people," Daatra responds.

"Exactly!!!"

>If it's really bad, suggest that she turns the towel vertically instead!
"W-what if you try turning it the other way?" you ask. "T-then it'd be long enough..."

"What!? Why didn't you tell me that sooner!?" Cekachii pleads.

"I-I thought you knew! Surely you felt a draft!"

"It wasn't windy outside!"

Keireer beams. "I felt some wind on the way over~!"

"NOT HELPING."

Maybe Cekachii has trouble feeling wind for some reason? Maybe some birds are just weird?

>Keireer, how are you unbothered by... how close to naked you could be?
"Keireer, you seem awfully calm considering how we were all nearly naked...!"

"Why not? I'm proud of my body. My feathers are well-preened, and I'm in pretty good shape! You two look pretty cute too, you know. You should also be proud to show off your beautiful selves!"

Cekachii seems to be struggling to believe that Keireer just said those words in that order. "...What the *squawk*!? No! N-never! Just because it's more comfy doesn't mean...!"

"*Cheehee~!* I've never heard you swear before!" Keireer says.

Cekachii huffs. "I've sworn plenty of times."

"Yeah, in the common language. That doesn't count!"

"Wh-- yes it does!"

Keireer beams such that one might mistake her for the sun itself. "Actually, three hundred years ago a lot of the common 'swears' were actually considered polite! But the lower class kept using them in an attempt to sound upper class, and eventually people started to see those words as vulgar rather than polite. It happens surprisingly often in languages!"

"Oh! That's really interesting! But what about the-- wait no this isn't the time for that!"

"*Cheep~* There's always time to learn fun stuff, Cek!"

"Don't distract me from the current emergency with new nicknames!"

Right. The task at hand.

"H-hey um, we should figure out how exactly we're getting to the mall. We probably don't want a lot of people um, seeing us like this."

Cekachii nods. "Good thinking. Any thoughts?"

Oh geez being put on the spot. Uuuh. Well, you're pretty familiar with the mall's layout, as well as where guards are posted. So there's that.


Which entrance should you go for?

X: Top entrance
Y: Bottom entrance

Do you have any plans for getting to the CLOTHING STORE safely?

A: Crawl through the vents.
You'll all fit, right? Nothing awkward about crawling in vents wearing towels... right? Y-you won't get stuck or anything you hope you hope you hope.

B: Focus on avoiding the guards.
The guards would kick you out, but everyone else might just think it's a weird fashion statement? S-surely they wouldn't stare at you...

C: Use everyone's magic together and hope something works.
Surely one of you has something convenient to use, right? Ah, what'd you'd give for INVISIBILITY...

D:Embrace the dragon's way and just barge on in!
Who are mortals to say if towels are appropriate or not! ...oh gods did you really just think that? You're not that kind of dragon! Honest!

Y, B. A for secondary, I suppose. Food court is way too crowded, plenty of people to see you there, plus they're probably chatting or people watching. Anybody in the store-zone would likely be preoccupied, giving you time to get past them, but you'll want to avoid the guards who are more likely to pay attention.

Hmm. If either of your companions know PORTAL MAGIC, that'd be real convenient!

"What about magic?" you ask. "Do you two have any? I have FIRE and TELEKINETIC, myself."

"Oh, I don't have any magic," Keireer replies. "Sorry!"

Cekachii's still struggling with her wardrobe. "Towel, please, I just need you to-- huh? Magic? Right, uh, I have PSYCHIC MAGIC."

You perk up. "Oh! Maybe you can convince people to ignore us!"

"Sorry, I'm not that good with it. Oh-- but I could use it to communicate with you two quietly! That might be good for sneaking, I think?"

You nod. "That'll definitely be useful!"

PORTAL MAGIC would be more useful, but you don't say that part out loud. Still, that's probably more useful than anything you can do with your own magic.

>You can move and shuffle nearby objects to focus attention away once you make it inside the mall proper!

Indeed. It's best to just pretend you don't have access to WATER MAGIC while around others, lest you reveal your true nature.

Not that WATER MAGIC would be all that helpful here.

"O-okay, so my plan is, um, we'll use the MAIN ENTRANCE to enter the mall from the south."

Daatra raises an eye...ridge. "The main entrance? Wouldn't it be safer to take the back entrance? Fewer people enter that way."

"Yeah, but going through the back means getting through the FOOD COURT. There's not a lot of places to hide there, and it's where people relax and take in their surroundings."

Cekachii switches focus from her towel to the group, accidentally revealing even more Bird Bits. "Yeah, that makes sense. In the MAIN HALLWAY, people are focused on getting to their destination. They'll be reading the signs or looking at maps, meaning they're less likely to notice us at all."

Keireer beams. "Oh! Of course! I always enjoy watching people while eating at the FOOD COURT!"

"Okay," Daatra says, "But it'd be hard to avoid the guards in the MAIN HALLWAY."

You shrug. "I-it's not like we're avoiding vision cones or anything, right? We can dart between decorative plants while the guards are looking at other people."

Dang.

No backing out now. You survey the area inside...

This guard might be tricky to get past. You can use that MALL MAP to hide, but the TRASHCAN might be too small to serve a similar purpose.

Distracting the guard might be key. You notice his eyes trained on a couple doing some serious Public Display of Affection (PDA). He seems ready to pounce the moment things go too far. With so much PDA on uh... D, you might be able to just calmly walk past?

There are stores to the right and left. If you wanted to make use of the VENTS, that'd be the way to go. Of course, you'd need to avoid the attention of the STORE CLERK and any CUSTOMERS that might be present. The LEFT STORE is easy to enter and its clerk is known for napping on the job, and the RIGHT STORE will need some sneaking to avoid the guard seeing you enter, but its STORE CLERK can't easily see the VENT from where they stand.


What'll you do?

{Path of the Couple...}
You'll hide in front of the MALL MAP and focus on getting past the guard.

A: Use TELEKINETIC MAGIC to slap one of them on the butt.
W-what? W-well, that'd probably cause things to escalate...

B: Calmly walk past like nothing's wrong.
It's not like you're completely nude. If the guard isn't paying attention it'll probably look like you're wearing normal clothes.

C: Use FIRE MAGIC to light something on fire.
Sounds dangerous! But what would you light? How big a flame?

{Path of the vent...}
Time to make for the VENTS. They'll avoid all the guards, but are they big enough...?

D: Head for the LEFT STORE.
Hope the clerk's enjoying their nap!

E: Head for the RIGHT STORE.
Gotta time it right so the guard doesn't notice you!

REMINDER: Your PRIMARY VOTE selects which PATH you vote for. The losing path drops all votes, so it's not a bad idea to use your SECONDARY VOTE to pick an option in the other path. Or don't, I'm not your (bat) dad!

Oh dear, Ceri looks pretty stressed. Maybe there's something I can do to help!


What'll I try?

A: Give Ceri my towel!
This is my chance to be a good friend and make a sacrifice! Heh, sacrifice...

B: Try to cover both of you with one towel?
I'll have to hug her really tight, but... maybe it'd work!

C: Throw my and Cekachii's towels away!
Ceri won't feel so bad if she's not the only one who's naked!

D: Tell Ceri she might feel more natural in her dragon form!
Yeah, she might feel better being a thing that's already naked most of the time! ... What? No, this isn't me just wanting to see her dragon form! Not entirely. Ahem.

Oh no, but you're completely naked! This would be a terrible time to go say hi!

That's fine. You'll take advantage of his distraction to go into the store, get clothed, then come back out and make a new friend.

He's attractive enough to forget any embarrassment but we can still get some clothes first--you know, for future interactions that aren't with somebody that makes you forget them.

Hey, wait a minute, he's just wearing a coat, an open coat, and NOTHING ELSE! He's practically naked too! Without that guitar positioned to where his feathers are covering himself, he'd be showing himself, wouldn't he?

Before you can even blink, Cekachii picks you up. Wait, she's strong enough to do that? Why does this feel so weird...

...And slimy!?

"No more fire, please!" she says, asking the impossible.

Instinctively, you struggle to get free. In doing so, you accidentally touch a few places on her that you'd never dream of touching intentionally...!

Gah! And now in her startled state, her ??? are touching you in places!

You panic and try to spit fire fucking everywhere, but somehow you're being prevented!

W-what is she made of!?

"...And this is my new friend Ceri, *Cheep~!*" Keireer says.

You try to run somewhere far away where you can die just literally die... but Cekachii holds you in place. In this pose. With no clothes.

All you can do is scream internally with the fury of a thousand dying stars.

Right then.

You should have done this years ago.

FIRE MAGIC is now on COOLDOWN. It can no longer be used until it recharges.


What will you do next?

A: CEKACHII. CLOTHING STORE. NOW.
GO.

B: Enter a fugue state where you become so stressed you overflow into being calm. Introduce yourself.
Sup.

C: Use TELEKINETIC MAGIC to cover the unknown birb's eyes with one of the towels.
This is sorta like clothes, right?

D: Fuck it. Dragon time.
Wait, will you fit inside the mall?

D, A. Easiest way to excuse your apparent pyromania and nudity is to (not at all by accident) reveal you are a dragon. You can claim to be really good at a specific sort of shapeshifting/illusion magic later on, so it'll be fiiiiiiine. And make sure you grab him some replacement pants as an apology, whatever happens.
Also, Cekachii and Keireer are both very good friends, for very different reasons.

Ceri has suffered enough. Let's be nice and let the poor girl get some clothes.

>>1097764
Can you blame her? She very much asked us to NOT choose the fire option and we did it anyways. This is the punishment we deserve for breaking our promise to go at least five updates without voting for fire.

B, C. If Fire Magic can be on cool-down, so can your embarrassment, at least for a few minutes. Let's say until it's pointed out or you finally head through to the store. Though maybe help pat out that fire.
