Hey, this kinda looks like the outfit Kharadra wore when you first met her! You don't quite 'fill it out' like she did, but for some reason the difference doesn't look as big as you'd expect.

...Either way, it's pretty comfy!

You make your way to the kitchen, noticing that Mom has already taken your place in the shower. Good thing you didn't use up all the hot water-- you get to live another day.

You sit at the table with Dad, who's reading the newspaper. He looks a bit worried. "Anything interesting in the news?" you ask.

"Oh, just the usual reports of Rampant nudity and articles about how wild the kids are these days. There's one person insisting they say a cyan-colo(u)red reptilian with breasts running around nude..."

"How interesting! Haha..."

He sighs. "Luckily they aren't being taken too seriously, but I think you need to start being a little more careful, babygirl. Maybe you should polymorph away your breasts for today to avoid arousing more suspicion?"

"Get rid of Giant Bird and Confused Dolphin!? But I just chose an outfit to wear! And it's a cute one, too!"

He glances over at you. "It is pretty cute. Would it not still work with a flat chest?"

"I mean, I guess. But I don't want to be afraid to go out as myself-- my true self."

His expression softens as he looks back to his newspaper. "Eh... maybe I'm worrying too much. It's just the one sighting, after all. Good thing you didn't spend the entire week naked, hmm?"

"Haha, yeah......"

"Just a couple more days until Mr. Ilan returns, right? Try to be careful until then, okay? We don't want people getting too curious about who, and what you are. We also have to ensure your DRAGON SEAL doesn't break before he has a chance to repair it."

"Don't worry, Dad! Today's gonna be super chill and pleasant! Just me hanging out with my Hoa-- my friends with nothing dramatic or emotional happening!"

"...Is that foreshadowing?"

"Gods, I hope not."

Dad puts the paper down, smiling. "Right! Enough worrying about things! How about I make us some breakfast? Anything you're feeling?"

"Pancakes!" you reply excitedly. "All that training and running around made me lose 2kg, and we can't have that!"

This elicits a laugh from Dad. "No, we certainly can't."

Dad gets to work putting together NUMMY PANCAKES as the two of you make pleasant conversation. Before long, you hear the shower cut off. Huh... Mom finished quicker than usual today.

She enters the room and takes a seat, looking grumpy.

"Run out of hot water again?" you ask. That's usually what gets her to actually use her bathrobe.

"Sssrrgh."

You try not to laugh, with minimal success. "Sorry! If I don't go first, you use it all up!"

"Sssssrrrrrrrgh."

"You might think that's fair, but I'd rather not freeze my fin off! You know I don't handle the cold very well."

"Grmnss."

"Turning into a fluffy mammal wouldn't stop it from being cold, mom. It'd make me cold and soggy."

"Srrrrnnf."

"Yeah, I guess I did spend a bit longer than usual. I was thinking about the past week a little. Be glad I didn't think about everything that happened like I was originally planning! You wouldn't have had any hot water at all if I did that."

"Ggnnnrrrsss."

"Yes, I know I wouldn't still be sitting here if I had actually done that."

"Ssshsff."

"I love you too, Mom."

Dad looks back, smiling. "I always enjoy the conversations you two have."

"Me too!" you say. "Mom always knows just what to say!"

She looks as if she wished we still had portraits so she could use them to glare at you both. Or so she can beat you over the head with them.


Let's see. Today's the day before Dragon's Day. Is there anything you'd like to discuss with your parents?

A: What devious schemes Mrs. Fonzerelli could be planning for tomorrow.
B: The possibility of your parents visiting Unity Base today.
C: How weird it is to be talking in the MORNING instead of at NIGHT.
D: How big you can get now with GIANT GROWTH.
E: What fun activities your parents have planned for D-Day.

You may also suggest questions or other things Ceri can talk about.

Oh and ask if they would be willing to adopt an alien

Wait, we’re having breakfast, why not just talk about every topic?

What other factions are out there interested in dragons? Sure they know what to look out for?

>Discuss getting a bigger hot water tank, or a tankless water heater so you never have this issue ever again.
Major lightbulb moment. "You know, since hot water keeps being an issue, why don't we get a bigger hot water tank?"

Mom's eyes light up. "Yes! I agree! Let's do it!" Looks like she regained the concept of 'language'.

Dad chuckles softly. "Well, I did just get promoted to general manager. Something like that might actually be in our budget now."

You gasp. "Really?? You've wanted that promotion for like, ever! Why didn't you mention it sooner!?"

He blushes slightly: "Er-- I was kind of hoping to surprise you both with it tomorrow. Thought maybe you'd wake up, see all the fancy Dragon's Day decorations, and just as you start to think I had lost my mind I'd come out with 'Surprise! I can afford to do this now!' But uh, heh. Slip of the ol' tongue."

Mom's eye twitches. "That's great dear! If you had told me that the other day I wouldn't have stopped you from buying everything you wanted from the party store!"

Dad grins in a way that indicates he's about to do something dangerous. "I assumed you already knew, since you're in charge of the finances~"

Mom exudes a dark aura that you ignore because you've currently overwhelmed by the possibilities that have opened up to you. "Does that mean I can have a bigger allowance???"

"Ask me about that tomorrow," he says, giving you a wink.

"Ask me about it tomorrow," Mom grumbles.

"Ask her first, then come to me after she says no~"

....

Oh hey! Dad's still alive! That means it's happening! Oh man!!!

>Wait, we’re having breakfast, why not just talk about every topic?
Because you have a busy day ahead of you! You wanna visit everyone!

>What other factions are out there interested in dragons? Sure they know what to look out for?
Come to think of it, you hadn't really discussed what you learned from the DRAGON FAN CLUB (DFC) with them. Your previous conversation was largely focused on the members themselves.

"On another topic, I learned something interesting from the DFC the other day."

"That's the group with the swearing kabold, right?" Dad asks.

"Fuck yeah it is!" Mom says cheerfully.

"Moooom!!! You said you wouldn't swear!"

"No I didn't~"

Shit, she's right. "W-well anyway, they were talking about the EXILED DRAGONS. Apparently some dragons live among mortals willingly-- without being enslaved or exiled. In fact, it's possible the labels we've occasionally seen in books were actually given to the exiled dragons by the free dragons! They must have told the mortals about this, which is why this information shows up in... our books."

They both look at you in silence.

Makes sense. This is some pretty big dragon news.

They glance at each other.

They look back at you.

"You didn't already know that?" Dad asks. "Surely we've talked about this before."

"I dunno! So much stuff has happened the past few weeks that I can't keep track of it all!"

Pancakes~

"Ceri, you need to keep better notes," Mom says.

Dad nods quickly. "Organization is important."

"If you try to keep everything in your head, you're bound to lose track of things. You'd risk contradicting yourself."

Dad nods quickly. "That'd be bad."

"Especially with how much stuff you've done in such a short amount of time."

Dad nods quickly. "You've been a real busy girl."

"And also a real 'busy' girl."

Dad nods less quickly. "...Quite."

You huff. "It's fine it's fine. If I get something wrong, my neurons will happily correct me."

"I still don't fully understand how this 'neuron' thing of yours works," Mom says.

Dad nods quickly. "Me either."

Desperate to change the subject, you remember Unity Base. "SO! Dad, you mentioned wanting to visit Unity Base yesterday, right? Maybe the three of us could visit it today!"

"Oh my~ Looks like she can still remember some things~" Mom says.

Dad nods quickly. "She isn't lost quite yet."

You rub your temples. "Please stop."

They both giggle, proving you're in no danger of growing up because they sure haven't.

"*Hsshss~* Sure, we could stop by later today, but are you sure you'll have time for that? You already have so much on your plate for today," Dad says.

"Yeah, and you were already struggling to do more than three or four things a day," Mom adds.

You wave dismissively. "Look it's fine we'll just split the thread if we have to."

"What?"

"Worrying about that is like splitting threads," you correct yourself.

"How, exactly?"

"You can figure that out while I'm out!" you say. "See you later, love you both!"

"But you're the one who--"

Too late. You're already outside and ready to tackle yet another day of fun and romance!

DRAGON fun and... uh... romance. that one didn't quite work.

You look over your HOARD of DRAGON ROMANCE.

Looks like you did such a good job hanging out with everyone that their HAPPINESS is all maxed. In fact, something tells you VISITING HOARD MEMBERS is all you need to do to keep their happiness up and to grow your BOND with them. Ignoring Hoard members will lower their happiness over time, which could lead to bad things happening. Not a thing to worry about today-- you're visiting everyone!

TILDE (in this case) tracks how long it's been since you got 'close and personal' with a Hoard Member. A dry spell might leave them pent up... which could lead to fun, but don't let it get too full or their happiness will drop! Also not a big worry today-- everyone got some lovin' this week.

Huh. Saint Duke has become GOLD despite the previous conversation you two had. Not sure how to feel about that yet.

Wait, why's there a moth on your screen??? Oh, it's Rufran! You remember meeting Rufran, right?

Day 8 4-6: Morning

Okay! Who will you visit first?

A: Penny, Daatra (Mall - Gamepause)
B: Eezeryh, Gulketi (Mall - Love Yourself)
C: Outissa, Rufran, Kharadra (Park)
D: Siphon, Tempest (Dragon Fan Club)
E: Skif, Saint Duke (Clearing)

B/d.

Ceri that's not where your temples are :3

>>1129731
What does silver/gold mean? What about a grey portrait? Maybe that means you have no bond yet so you can't see their stats. (did we mess something up with Venntrodai?)
Huh, Rufran's tilde is empty. Is he getting some lovin' from someone else?

>>1129732
Ah, isn't it nice not to have to worry about border colors?

We gotta find out how such a stubborn bug got pulled into a location with so many... lewd implications.

D, E
What kind of exhibitionism fun is tempest and Siphon going to put you through next?

C, b

we should probably meet this moth that has appeared in your romance inventory

B, A.

E: An excellent opportunity for a bi threesome if no transformation, maybe bi with girlcock (or 2 >:3) or full gay if transformation
B: Possible foursome, a 6699 even?

Oof, tough choice.
A, E
When did Rufran become a part of the hoard again?

>>1129731
>Unnecessary stat managing
So instead of everyone being adults and managing their own sexual needs or hanging out with each other as friends off screen, they need Ceri to step in and do everything for them? That just makes it feel like the world revolves around them, with everyone holding their friendship hostage and if Ceri doesn't do their bidding, they're going to end their friendship.

That's a very unhealthy relationship right there.

This just feels really problematic and could potentially slow things down by making it where we panic and try to force people to hang out when they don't want to.

>>1129732
A/e

>>1129874
>they need Ceri to step in and do everything for them?
Talk about exaggeration. Most of the hoard is indeed fooling around with eachother when Ceri's not there, as we've seen. I'm not sure if the tilde meter displayed here is a measure of their general horniness or their desire to have sex with Ceri specifically, but obviously she needs to occasionally give hoard members personal attention anyway! That's part of a *healthy* relationship.
And yeah of course if Ceri doesn't hang out with someone for a long period of time they'll get upset and want to end the relationship. That's a normal reaction. Do keep in mind these are all intimate, romantic relationships? You're not gonna ditch your partner for weeks at a time and expect them to be happy about it. In casual or long-distance/internet friendships, it's more normal for there to be gaps. I'm guessing that's what you're used to.

This is why Ceri's hoard size can't get too big. Unless she learns some kind of cloning or time magic to let her do more every day.

>>1129875
>In casual or long-distance/internet friendships, it's more normal for there to be gaps. I'm guessing that's what you're used to.
Nah, I hang with irl friends. But even then, we don't constantly do things together, since it doesn't make those moments special if we're always around each other.

But this stat managing system makes it feel like Ceri needs to constantly hang out with everyone or else they'll end their friendships. Poor girl won't ever be allowed to enjoy time to herself if she's gotta keep everyone happy by always being around them.
