We train GIANT GROWTH (shock!) and VIGOR. Looks like Ceri just barely fits in the frame now!

Ceri's really coming along, getting nice and STRONG. Also, I just realized I forgot to post her stats at the end of the last update. Sorry!

Before we tuck in for the night, let's once again check in on our NPC friends.

:7d_panvarinpc_neutral: Good thing they sell double-sided tape here.
:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: Oh?
:7d_panvarinpc_neutral: One time I went to take the purse off my shoulder, but it was somehow stuck!
:7d_panvarinpc_neutral: I kept pulling harder and harder until, well... something snapped.
:7d_ceri_scarf_shocked: !
:7d_panvarinpc_neutral: Turns out I had hooked my dress strap to my purse!
:7d_panvarinpc_neutral: Luckily I was carrying some tape around, and was able to keep my dress together long enough to get back home.
:7d_panvarinpc_neutral: Could you imagine having to walk through the mall completely exposed?
:7d_ceri_scarf_stressed: Haha, not me! I've certainly never done anything like that...
:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: But don't most panvari run around naked? They're like the one race mammals don't complain about.
:7d_panvarinpc_neutral: Maybe those from the eastern empire do, but those of us from the west have standards!
:7d_ceri_scarf_pog: Whoa! Secret lore!!

:7d_kharadra_happy: *Cheep~!* I think it'll work!

:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: Hi! Need help with another package?
:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: Sure, if you're willing!
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: So who are you delivering to today?
:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: Let's see...
:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: This one's for a 'Tempest'? It's an electronic toy that's certified 'not very waterproof'.
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: Oh! That seems innocent enough.
:7d_ceri_scarf_wat: I think.
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: You'll usually find her running the coffee shop at the food court in the mall.
:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: Ah! I'll give that a try, thanks!

:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: Nice to finally deliver something normal.

Music: Lively Park


I just realized I don't think I showed off this song yet. It's really good! Nice and energetic. If I didn't know better, I'd say Gulketi himself helped the developers make this one.

:7d_maleelnpc_neutral: Here's what I've been working on today.
:7d_maleelnpc_neutral: ...
:7d_maleelnpc_neutral: Actually, I don't really want to talk about where I heard this one.

Music: ????



:7d_maleelnpc_neutral: That's about as much of it as I can play right now.
:7d_maleelnpc_neutral: So... what do you think?
:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: It's... certainly an interesting song.
:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: I can't help but feel I've heard it before, somehow...
:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: Like, the last time I made love with my boyfriend Skif...
:7d_ceri_scarf_shocked: (Wait, is that why his rhythm was...!?)
:7d_ceri_scarf_stressed: A-anyway, it's very... unique? And is making me question my boyfriend's life-choices?
:7d_maleelnpc_neutral: Cool. I was hoping it'd be thought-provoking.

--


:7d_maleelnpc_neutral: I wonder if anyone finds this song sexy...

You'd be surprised what people find sexy, my friend.

:7d_triti_stressed: I'm not sure what to do.
:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: Why are you naked here of all places?
:7d_triti_sad: I'm in hiding. I ran into some guys who didn't particularly like me. They accused me of being a dragon?
:7d_triti_sad: No idea what they were on about, but at least I managed to slip away with my hide intact.
:7d_triti_stressed: But... I used my clothes as a distraction and now I'm nude. I dunno what to do...
:7d_ceri_scarf_shocked: They thought you were a dragon?
:7d_ceri_scarf_annoyed: How come I'm never accosted like that!? I can't help but feel slightly insulted!
:7d_triti_stressed: I... uh... didn't think you were into that?
:7d_ceri_scarf_stressed: Er, nevermind that. People are probably on edge because of all the dragon rumors going around.
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: I wouldn't worry! There's been a recent push to allow nudity in public.
:7d_ceri_scarf_smug: The way things are going, being naked will be as natural as wearing outfits!
:7d_triti_stressed: Even so, it's a bit of a problem for me... I'm a little bit extremely shy...
:7d_triti_stressed: Ah well, at least nobody can see me here...
:7d_ceri_scarf_goodness: Nobody except the security camera.
:7d_triti_shockedblushu: Wait, what!? Noooooooo!

--


:7d_triti_shockedblushu: Where's the security room!? I need to scrub those tapes!

:7d_siphoncry: What do you mean we can't go check those tapes?
:7d_cheihahawhat: I tried to get into the equipment room! It wouldn't let me!

:7d_fembirbnpc_neutral: You can do it, darling! Lift those weights! Get those gains!
:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: This challenge is daunting, but I shall emerge victorious!
:7d_ceri_scarf_shocked: (If he tries to lift from that angle, he'll hurt himself!
:7d_ceri_scarf_stressed: H-hey! Do you want some um, hot tips for conquering that pesky weight?
:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: This is a challenge I must endure myself if I have any hope of becoming 'swole'!
:7d_fembirbnpc_neutral: But isn't there honor in accepting help when it's offered?
:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: By golly, you're right again! I can't let my pride get the better of me!
:7d_fembirbnpc_neutral: We will gladly accept any wisdom you might have to offer!
:7d_ceri_scarf_stressed: Oh, er... I just think it'd be better if you're directly under the weight when lifting it?
:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: And you should probably stand behind him, miss, so you can grab the weight if anything goes wrong.
:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: Gasp! To think that a mere mortal such as yourself would contain wisdom so great!
:7d_ceri_scarf_lookaway: ....
:7d_fembirbnpc_neutral: We are ever in your debt! Come on, dear! Let's make use of this information post-haste!
:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: Of course!
:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: ....
:7d_malebirbnpc_neutral: I seem to be stuck in this pose.
:7d_fembirbnpc_neutral: An unforeseen obstacle! Come, let us overcome this challenge so we may put the wisdom to work!

:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Still wearing the glasses, huh?
:7d_malemamnpc_neutral: My vision's improving, but every time I remove them it's like the sky's a giant mirror ball.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Well, at least it's getting better.
:7d_malemamnpc_neutral: Yeah, I can't wait for my vision to return fully.
:7d_malemamnpc_neutral: The day my eyes got injured, I had twelve pages left of the novel I was reading.

:7d_femmamnpc_neutral: You know, I passed out running laps last night.
:7d_femmamnpc_neutral: I kept doing a few laps, then losing count and having to start over.
:7d_ceri_scarf_confused: Wouldn't it be better to guess? Or write it down or something?
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: Maybe get some opinions from people you show your log to! They can share your 'quest' of self improvement!

:7d_ceri_scarf_pog: They could even offer 'suggestions' on how you'd improve your methods!

Before we finish the day, there's a minor dialog we can have with Daatra if we talk to her after her meetup with Zesmirl.

:7d_daatra_sad: ....
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: Daatra...?
:7d_daatra_shocked: !
:7d_daatra_daatra: W-whatcha doin' out so late, Ceri-berry? Don't you normally go to bed at like, 8?
:7d_ceri_scarf_annoyed: I go to bed at a normal time like a normal person.
:7d_ceri_scarf_eartwitch: ALSO IT'S NOT EVEN THAT LATE THE SUN'S STILL UP.
:7d_daatra_lookaway: W-well... it's summer time, so naturally the sun would still be up.
:7d_daatra_smug: Still, the real strat is to go to bed after the sun goes down then comes back up again.
:7d_ceri_scarf_wat: Like, in the morning?
:7d_daatra_smug: Sure, if you want to call it that.
:7d_ceri_scarf_defeated: So the other day, when I visited you early in the morning after my cave adventure... you hadn't actually gone to bed yet?
:7d_daatra_smug: Exactly! Pretty convenient, huh?

If you had visited Daatra on day one:


:7d_ceri_scarf_shocked: Wait! We also hung out later that day! Did you seriously not sleep at all that day!?
:7d_daatra_stressed: I-I totally had a power nap between your visits!
:7d_ceri_scarf_shocked: Daatra! I'd have let you sleep if I knew that!
:7d_daatra_smug: And lose out on a chance to play video-games? Never.
:7d_ceri_scarf_goodness: Fair, I guess.

Otherwise:


:7d_ceri_scarf_shocked: Not if I cause you to lose sleep it isn't!
:7d_daatra_smile: Hey, I'm always willing to sacrifice sleep to eat delicious cake.
:7d_ceri_scarf_goodness: I... can't really argue against that.
:7d_daatra_smug: Logic wins once again.
:7d_ceri_scarf_goodness: Sure.

We continue:

:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: So um, how are you holding up? Today was the day Zesmirl was going to visit, right?
:7d_daatra_awkward: Ah, you remembered the day and everything.
:7d_ceri_scarf_lookaway: I... have a good memory?
:7d_daatra_awkward: Well... it...
:7d_daatra_sad: ....
:7d_daatra_gentle: Can we talk about it later? Still kinda trying to process it all.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Sure thing. I'll visit you later, okay?
:7d_daatra_gentle: Yeah.

:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: (I better leave her alone for now. We can talk about what happened later.)

Music: Day's End


And with that, we once again head home for the night.

:7d_ceri_scarf_pog: It's time for more lore!
:7d_sheriim_shocked: L-lore?
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: I want details about that dragon encounter! Like why the stories used an anagram of Mom's name!
:7d_myra_gentle: Oh, that part's easy. We didn't want other dragons to hunt us down.
:7d_sheriim_concerned: We also didn't want our lives uprooted by suddenly having fame.
:7d_myra_gentle: Yeah, we prefer to live a quiet and peaceful life.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Ah, I guess that does make sense.
:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: And presumably Mr. Ilan saw all this?
:7d_sheriim_neutral: Yeah. In fact, his being there might be a large part of why we were able to argue with the dragon at all.
:7d_myra_smug: That or they were intimidated by my muscles.
:7d_sheriim_stressed: S-sure, that's probably a big part of it too, haha.
:7d_sheriim_neutral: But I noticed a shift in the dragon's expression when it laid eyes on Mr. Ilan.
:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: They were scared of him? He's nowhere near as powerful as they are.
:7d_sheriim_gentle: Yeah, I'm not sure why they looked intimidated either.
:7d_myra_smug: Muscles.
:7d_sheriim_stressed: ....
:7d_sheriim_neutral: We do know Mr. Ilan has a connection with the dragons. Maybe they feared what other dragons would do if any harm came to him?
:7d_myra_smile: Either way, he took an interest in us after that day. We wrote to each other often, and became friends.
:7d_sheriim_smile: The rest is history. He knew how badly we wanted a child, and that we weren't deathly afraid of dragons.
:7d_sheriim_smile: So presumably he figured we were the best option to take care of an orphaned dragon child.
:7d_sheriim_smile: We've done our best to raise and protect you, to honor his trust...
:7d_myra_blushusmile: ...Because you're our daughter now. Our sweet little girl. In the end, that's all that really matters.
:7d_ceri_scarf_blushusmile: O-oh gosh...
:7d_sheriim_smile: We'll support you through it all. Even if you one-day become a full-fledged dragon.
:7d_myra_siphon: And don't think being a proper dragon means we'll let you eat all the ice-cream!
:7d_ceri_scarf_sillysad: BUT THAT WAS THE THING I LOOKED FORWARD TO MOST!!!
:7d_sheriim_happy: Don't worry, I'll have your back.
:7d_myra_annoyed: Oh no you won't. Not if you want me to cook Your Favorite.
:7d_sheriim_stressed: S-so hey! how about you tell us about your day?

:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: Oh right, I saw Daatra at the CLICHE' TREE earlier.
:7d_myra_gentle: You should really find a new place to hang out, sweetheart. Neither of you go to school anymore.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Haha, probably. It's hard to find a tree as cliche' as that one, though.
:7d_sheriim_concerned: Uh oh. Whenever you mention that place, it's usually before you tell us something stressful happened.
:7d_sheriim_concerned: Are you okay? Do you need ice-cream?
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: I'm fine. I didn't end up hanging around very long.
:7d_myra_concerned: Oh, that's right-- she was meeting with Little Zes there today, wasn't she?
:7d_ceri_scarf_goodness: Well, he's probably not that 'little' anymore, with how tall El'himzen get.
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: I chose not to eavesdrop, but the writing was already on the wall for him ending things due to distance.
:7d_sheriim_sad: Yeah, it's hard to make it work long distance like that. Poor thing...
:7d_myra_gentle: You have to give her all the love and support you can, okay Ceri?

In our merged timeline, Skif's dialog happened next. You guys already saw that, so we'll skip past it.

:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: I checked in on Kharadra today.
:7d_myra_smile: Oh? How's the store doing?
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: There were more customers than last time, so I think the word is spreading!

:7d_sheriim_smile: You have a good heart. Sometimes it's the little things we do that can really make a difference.
:7d_ceri_scarf_blushusmile: Eheheh...
:7d_myra_siphon: Maybe we should check this place out sometime~
:7d_ceri_scarf_wat: Eh?
:7d_myra_smug: They let people reveal their True Beauty, right? Maybe I have an inner beauty just waiting to come out!
:7d_ceri_scarf_blushu: Ah... w-well... I have to warn you that they have some...
:7d_sheriim_happy: Sounds fun! I wonder what my inner beauty's like?

:7d_ceri_scarf_moreblushu: (Mom if you get boobs I'll be ousted as the main character! It's my only advantage over you!)

:7d_ceri_scarf_eartwitch: (DON'T ACTUALLY ANSWER THAT OH MY GOD)
:7d_sheriim_neutral: You ever wonder what goes on in her head sometimes?
:7d_myra_lookaway: Something tells me it's pure chaos in there.

Hurray! Only two to go! Can you believe I thought this LP would take a month or two? Boy, I'm real bad at estimating how long things take!

Hmm? Do you hear that? I could swear I hear someone screaming into a pillow as they realize their 7 month project to improve the pacing of their interactive story would end up taking five years to complete.

Weird!

Music: Unity Base


The door to Eezeryh's lab is open??

Once we enter, the game takes control of Ceri and the scene begins.

:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: Oh Eez~! I'm here to bug you~!
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: ...Eezeryh?

Ceri looks around, then looks concerned.

:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: (That's odd... I'm usually so good at knowing exactly where my friends are at all times.)
:7d_eezbed_neutral: ....

Ceri faces left.

:7d_ceri_scarf_neutral: (Hmm? Did I hear something?)
:7d_ceri_scarf_happy: Hey Eez, are you somehow invisible? You'd better say something before I go around touching all your stuff!
:7d_eezbed_neutral: pshs jsb lmnb...

:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: There you are!
:7d_eezbed_neutral: please just leave...
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: Is... is everything okay?
:7d_eezbed_neutral: yes
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Come on, if something's wrong I'd like to help!
:7d_eezbed_neutral: I'm fine.
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: You don't sound very f--
:7d_eezbed_frustrated: There's nothing wrong with me, okay!?
:7d_eezbed_neutral: I'm just... thinking. That's what I do. I'm a scientist. I solve logical problems with incredible ease.
:7d_eezbed_frustrated: At least, that's what I'm supposed to do.
:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: (....)
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Whenever something's bothering me, I always feel better after talking to someone about it.
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: If you don't want any advice, that's fine. I'm willing to listen silently, if that's all you need.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: That's what friends do for each other.
:7d_eezbed_neutral: Srrn... You're the last person I'd expect to understand what I'm dealing with.
:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: Ah... I guess not. There's still so much about you guys I don't understand.
:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: And we've met such a short while ago. I shouldn't expect to have your trust and respect so quickly.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: In that case, I won't pry further. Just know I'm always here for you, okay?
:7d_eezbed_frustrated: Sssrrrnnn! You don't get it!
:7d_eezbed_frustrated: Of course I respect you! Even if I can't say that out loud! That's not the problem here!
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: Then... what is?

Music: A small shock


:7d_eezbed_frustrated: You never hold yourself back! You don't even try to! Everywhere you go turns into some kind of tilde-fest!
:7d_eezbed_neutral: ...even with me...
:7d_eezbed_neutral: You, Siphon, even Gulketi... you all do whatever you want. You try anything you think you'll enjoy.
:7d_eezbed_neutral: Anything you think I'll enjoy.
:7d_eezbed_neutral: You never worry about the consequences, or how it might make people think about you.
:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: I worry about that more than you might realize...
:7d_eezbed_frustrated: Argh! If that were true you wouldn't do half the things you do! Half the things you make me want to do!
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: (Have I been pushing her too hard? But I always try to ensure my partners are willing and happy to do whatever we're doing.)
:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: (No, the world doesn't revolve around me yet. Someone else must have pushed her out of her comfort zone.)
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: Is this about what happened at the picnic? You were acting really strange; Did Siphon do something weird to you?
:7d_eezbed_neutral: Obviously. But it's not just the picnic.

Ceri faces away.

:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Hey, say no more. I'll go talk to her, okay? I want everyone to feel comfortable, and if Siphon's being too pushy she needs to stop.

Ceri begins to leave.

Ceri faces Eezeryh.

:7d_ceri_scarf_neutral: Hmm?
:7d_eezbed_peekreverse: It's... it's not Siphon's fault.
:7d_eezbed_neutral: She loves to tease people, but... even she knows when to stop. She never takes things too far.
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: So you don't have a problem with her? Or... with me?
:7d_eezbed_neutral: No, not with you two.
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: Then why--
:7d_eezbed_frustrated: My problem's with me, okay!?
:7d_eezbed_frustrated: I'm not strong enough! You all-- you keep offering me things that I...
:7d_eezbed_neutral: that I... want.
:7d_eezbed_neutral: And I always give in. I always say yes. Even if it's an awful idea. Even if I know how much I'll regret it.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: I can talk to the others, get everyone to hold back on that.
:7d_eezbed_frustrated: But I don't want them to stop! That's why it's so frustrating!
:7d_eezbed_frustrated: I want those things, but I can't just ask for them! It's not befitting of a scientist!
:7d_eezbed_frustrated: I have no choice but to jump on any opportunity offered to me! Like some kind of...

The music fades out.

:7d_eezbed_neutral: Some kind of...
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Hey. It's perfectly normal to want to enjoy yourself.
:7d_eezbed_frustrated: Srrnnn! I knew you couldn't understand! I hate that I'm like this!
:7d_eezbed_neutral: I hate it so much.
:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: (Poor Eezeryh...)
:7d_empty: For once, you lack the words you need to cheer Eezeryh up.
:7d_empty: You think back to what people have done when you felt frustrated. Sometimes, it's more important to act than to speak.

:7d_empty: With that in mind, you crawl into the cocoon with Eezeryh and pull her body close to yours.
:7d_empty: She doesn't protest, much as she probably wants to.
:7d_empty: She's shaking...

Music: Eezeryh


:7d_eezbed_neutral: I... I'm sorry. You shouldn't have to deal with this.
:7d_eezbed_neutral: How can anyone respect me like this? How can I respect myself?
:7d_eezbed_neutral: I'm an insult to scientists the galaxy over. I should give up the title if I'm just going to tarnish it like this.
:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: The other scientists would be proud to call you one of them. You have the brains, the education, the love of learning.

The image starts out at the left, then slowly pans right as the following text plays automatically:

:7d_eezbed_neutral: Science isn't just doing physics and publishing papers.
:7d_eezbed_neutral: A real scientist has an image to uphold. A reputation they build among their peers.
:7d_eezbed_neutral: They're looked at in awe of what they represent: A pure and perfect representation of science and the pursuit of knowledge.
:7d_eezbed_neutral: A scientist is here to do the impossible! To explain the unexplainable! To pierce the veil of ignorance with their blade!
:7d_eezbed_neutral: That is how I saw them. How I wanted others to see me. I've worked so hard, for so long, to nurture and grow that image.

:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: Appearances, reputation, respect. They aren't worth making yourself miserable over.
:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: I've read historical accounts of so many people who sought those things. Many of them regretted the lives they led.
:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: Many of them died sad and alone.
:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: You've already accomplished so much. Anyone would be impressed-- I know I am.

This image also pans left-to-right as the following plays out:

:7d_eez_sad: I grew up in an ancient place full of old snobs who cared too much about the past.
:7d_eez_sad: Our family name hasn't held meaning for hundreds of years, and yet they acted as if they were aristocrats.
:7d_eez_sad: They'd reject any form of change...
:7d_eez_sad: ...Up to and including the spelling reform that I hypothesize would have kept you from shortening my name all the time.
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: (Poor Eez.)
:7d_eez_sad: Not to mention all the times I've had to correct peoples' pronunciations.
:7d_eez_sad: We never had honest and frank conversations. they were too focused on making sure I knew how to act.
:7d_eez_sad: On ensuring I uphold the 'honor' of my name.
:7d_eez_angry: What honor!? Who in the galaxy has even heard of their stupid "high-society social clubs"!?
:7d_eez_angry: Nobody! Not a single person I've run into!
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: (It's unlike the secrecy and solitude I was taught. To avoid people noticing me, lest they learn the truth.)
:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: (And yet... it's a familiar frustration.)
:7d_eez_sad: It's ironic, isn't it? How little their names actually mattered.
:7d_eez_sad: Fools. Only two types of names actually held the esteem they sought. The names of conquerors, and the names of scientists.
:7d_eez_sad: Conquerors fought and died for stupid reasons. The only people who remembered them were their victims.
:7d_eez_sad: Scientists devoted themselves to changing the world. Every new technology, every life-saving medicine... all thanks to them.
:7d_eez_sad: They earned their names. Their names meant something. They are the ones history will remember.
:7d_ceri_scarf_sad: (But your name already means so much, Eezeryh...)
:7d_eez_sad: I spent my life looking up to scientists. Reading stories about their power and majesty.
:7d_eez_sad: Books upon books explaining the many different ways they can bend the world to their mercy and make miracles a reality.
:7d_eez_sad: No army could stop them. No bureaucrat dared to try. Even death wasn't enough to stop them.
:7d_eez_sad: They'd always return with a new scheme for world domination and a rousing dramatic speech, punctuated with a mighty laugh.
:7d_ceri_scarf_neutral: (Huh? Wait...)
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: These stories of yours... they wouldn't happen to be supervillain comics, would they?
:7d_eez_annoyed: Hey! D-Doctor Moon-Laser was surprisingly mature writing for the demographic they were aiming for!
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: That's kind of adorable.

:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: I'm listening. I promise.

:7d_eez_sad: Had I lived the life my parents wanted for me, I'd just be some kind of socialite who never amounted to anything truly important.
:7d_eez_sad: But science? That I had a talent for. I could climb the ranks, prove myself among the greats.
:7d_eez_sad: History would remember me. It would respect me. Those who aren't yet born would be destined to speak of me.
:7d_eez_sad: That's why I worked so hard. It wasn't about learning new things, or forming theories.
:7d_eez_sad: I wanted to live up to the heroes I read about. I wanted to earn their respect. To be someone they'll remember.

:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: If your books are anything like theirs, I'm willing to bet they aren't telling the whole story.
:7d_eez_sad: ....
:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: Those very people you idolize, they aren't perfect. They aren't robots single-mindedly devoting themselves to progress.
:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: They were people, like you and me. People with their own desires, their own ideals.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: And I'd bet my left boob they even had their own kinks and fantasies they lived out with their loved ones to relieve stress.
:7d_eez_angry: How dare...!
:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: They didn't work themselves to death. They took their breaks, embraced their desires. And nobody gave it a second thought.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: It wasn't considered important enough to write down, I'd bet.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Those comic books portray an impossibly perfect (and evil?) individual. There's rarely any nuance. Any depth.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Take me for example. You don't consider me little more than a sex-obsessed cretin, do you?
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: I love video games. I drown myself in history books. I'm secretly a dragon. You know, normal girl stuff.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: And obviously I love sex. But it doesn't mean my actions don't matter. That I don't matter.
:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: Siphon of all people taught me that much.

:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: One of the hardest lessons I've had to learn is to not let my mistakes haunt me.
:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: Like you, I looked up to the dragons I read about in books. The dragons of old were so noble, so wise.
:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: I wanted to be like them. Heck, I still want to revive the hono(u)r they've since lost.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: But I don't need to kill myself living up to the idealized dragons in those books.
:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: I've decided to do things my own way. To be the type of dragon I want to be. Flaws and all.
:7d_eez_sad: Your dragons, and my scientists...
:7d_eez_sad: I... I can't believe this. Are we really so... similar?
:7d_eezbed_frustrated: Argh! I didn't want to have this epiphany! *Frustrated salazzarine noises!*
:7d_ceri_scarf_goodness: That's just how it goes sometimes.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Sex didn't define those scientists. It doesn't define me. It won't define you.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Nor will destroying yourself in the name of prestige and glory.
:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: We are defined by the people we care about. The people who care about us.
:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: Like Gulketi and Siphon. I bet they have lots of reasons to care about you.
:7d_eez_sad: No they--
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: They do. We all care about you. We want you to be yourself. To be happy with who you are. To be willing to make mistakes.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: To ask for help when you need it.
:7d_ceri_scarf_verygentle: There's no greater joy than helping our friends, after all.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: So let's be proud of who we are. Not who we think we should be.
:7d_eez_sad: ....
:7d_eez_sad: Could...

:7d_empty: You wrap your arms around Eezeryh, half-expecting her to protest despite her request.
:7d_empty: But instead, you can't help but notice, at the very end of her mouth, the barest hint of a genuine smile.
:7d_empty: The two of you drift off to sleep in each others' arms...

Who should we visit next?

A:Skif
B: Kharadra
C: Daatra
D: Tempest


Also, what outfit should Ceri wear today?

E: Outfit of Destiny (Scarf)
F: Serious Business Outfit
G: Dragon Bra/Panties

We continue to wear the Outfit of Destiny while meeting Kharadra for some nice wholesome massage action. Reminds me of the time I invited my friends to my homeworld, and the Ketza Massage Squad all banded together to give Gulketi a nice relaxing time.

The best massages come from teamwork, after all!

:7d_empty: You walk up to her, eager for a moment to finally relax.
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: Hi! I made it!
:7d_kharadra_stressed: *C-chirp!* So you did!
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: A-are you okay? You seem... nervous.
:7d_kharadra_blushu: I've- I've never come here as my true self before.

:7d_kharadra_blushu: Technically no, but...
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: But they advised against it, probably because a massage doesn't help your muscles if you're transformed.
:7d_ceri_scarf_happy: We aren't polymorphing any of our muscles, so I think we'll be fine!
:7d_kharadra_smile: ~Cheeheep~~ I suppose you have a point, dear. I'm just a bit nervous.
:7d_kharadra_determined: But I'm not backing out now, *cheep*! This is the real me, and I won't be ashamed of that!
:7d_ceri_scarf_happy: That's the spirit! And this is the real me, too!
:7d_ceri_scarf_lookaway: (Literally, in my case.)
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: We shouldn't be ruled by mammalian modesty at any rate, right?
:7d_kharadra_stressed: ...This is still much easier to say than to do. I've built quite a rapport with these people!
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: And that rapport will make it all the easier for them to understand your feelings!
:7d_ceri_scarf_stressed: In my case I mostly just have to hope it's fine.
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: But we won't find out until we go in! Let's rip off that bandage!

:7d_ceri_scarf_neutral: It would?
:7d_ceri_scarf_shocked: Oh! Your feathers!
:7d_kharadra_neutral: Yeah! But... If it hurts either way, maybe it's better if it's only for a moment.

As you might have noticed, this scene was drawn by a different artist than normal! Were they called in to make Ceri and Kharadra look as huggable as possible? Because it's working.

:7d_femliznpc_neutral: Hello~!! Welcome to--
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: Ah! Miss Kharadra! You're...
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: You're looking um... f-filled out today!

:7d_ceri_scarf_happy: you can do it! it's just like running your store!
:7d_kharadra_determined: Yes, my dear, I am 'filled out' today~! This is my TRUE BEAUTY! The way I see myself is the way I present myself: Busty and proud!
:7d_kharadra_determined: There's no 'right' or 'wrong' when it comes to feeling good about yourself! Society itself can yield to the value of our self-worth!
:7d_ceri_scarf_happy: Yeah!!!
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: ....
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: Hsshss~! My, you're full of energy today!
:7d_kharadra_smile: ~Tweehee!~ Gotta admit, this is pretty liberating! Though I was worried how you'd react.
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: Honey, I've never seen you look happier. How could I complain about that?
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: We do prefer to work with real muscles, but at the end of the day it's about making you feel relaxed and happy.
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: And you look quite happy indeed, *Hsshss~*
:7d_ceri_scarf_neutral: (Huh! I expected more drama.)
:7d_ceri_scarf_stressed: (I guess I'm not the only one who worries way too much about something that turns out fine.)
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: (Still, I'm happy for her! She gets to live the message she started the store to spread!)
:7d_kharadra_gentle: You guys have always been so good to me, *Cheep*.
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: Of course! You're one of our favo(u)rite clients! And I'm not just saying that-- you're such a doll!
:7d_kharadra_happy: ~Cheeheehee~!~ We're sisters in retail! We have to look out for each other!
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: So true! Now then, what spa package are you looking to get today?
:7d_ceri_scarf_stressed: Ah... um...
:7d_kharadra_happy: ~Chirp~!~ It's my treat, remember? You can even go for the Full Day Package if you'd like!
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: That's certainly tempting, but I probably shouldn't spend too long here. It's a busy week, and all that.
:7d_kharadra_smile: Then let's go for a nice massage and a trip to the sauna, *Cheep~!*
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: You've got it! Is this your first time at a spa, miss...?
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: You can call me Ceri. And yeah, this is my first time!
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: Wonderful, Ceri~! Why don't you go ahead and let us know what type of massage you'd like to have?
:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: Can I ask what my options are?
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: Certainly, sweety! We usually focus on the usual problematic areas, like shoulders and back...
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: ...But we can also focus on specific areas like your arms, legs or chest, or even your buttocks!
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Chest is an option? Even with our polymorph...?
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: Like I said, our goal is to make you relaxed and comfortable.
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: Besides, some of our masseuses might look forward to the added challenge in accessing the knots in those muscles!
:7d_kharadra_happy: ~Tweehee~!~ maybe they can use their knowledge of mammals to critique my work~!
:7d_kharadra_happy: I'm always looking to improve my technique~!
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: *Hsshss~* I'm sure they'd be more than happy to help.
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: But first things first! Why don't you let us know what you'd like?
:7d_kharadra_smile: Since it's your first time, Ceri, why don't you choose for us?
:7d_ceri_scarf_shocked: I'm choosing for both of us?? But I don't know what your problem areas are!
:7d_kharadra_happy: Sometimes I like to be surprised, ~Chirp~!~
:7d_ceri_scarf_goodness: F-fair enough...


:7d_empty: What area will you get massaged?

A: "Breast massage, please!"
B: "How about a butt massage?"
C: "Let's stick to the usual back/shoulder!"

Keeping things wholesome, eh? You guys are so considerate! or you know how this scene works

Music: A Relaxing Spa


:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Haha, it's tempting to have the mammals critique our, um, 'work'...
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: ...But I have a lot of non-polymorphed areas that could really use a good massage, like my shoulders and back.
:7d_kharadra_happy: *Chirp!* I was only kidding, dear!
:7d_kharadra_smile: My back muscles could use quite a bit of help, as you might imagine!
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Haha, even if I'm not as 'big' as you, I don't have to 'imagine' it all that much.
:7d_ceri_scarf_happy: I bet we'll both feel quite a bit better after this!
:7d_kharadra_happy: Then it's settled! We'll get our shoulders and backs worked on!
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: Okay! Follow me!

Fade to black.


:7d_empty: She directs you down a hallway, leading to an area with several dressing rooms.
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: Go ahead and grab a gown to change into! You can store your clothes and belongings in a locker over there.
:7d_femliznpc_neutral: You can grab some modesty towels from over there if you'd like. The masseuses will be with you both shortly~
:7d_kharadra_smile: Thanks, dear!

:7d_ceri_scarf_thoughtful: So people really do wear towels to these, huh? Ooh, soft!
:7d_kharadra_smile: *Chirp!* Some do, but others are happy to spend their time in the nude.
:7d_ceri_scarf_happy: This sounds like my kind of place!
:7d_ceri_scarf_pog: So are we gonna nude it up, then? You first~!
:7d_kharadra_blushusmile: Ah, Should we really go that far?
:7d_kharadra_gentle: They're already being more than gracious in letting us come here as our True Selves...
:7d_kharadra_blushusmile: And I'm... still adjusting to doing this as my True Self in the first place, *Cheehee...*
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: That's true, but the whole point of this is acting the same way we would unpolymorphed, right?
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: These are our 'true' bodies, as natural to us as anyone else's body is to them!
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: ...That said, you shouldn't do anything you're uncomfortable with.
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: I'll keep my clothes on too, if you're more comfortable with that!
:7d_kharadra_gentle: Oh, you don't have to wear a gown for my sake.
:7d_kharadra_happy: I've already seen your naked body, ~Cheeheep~!~
:7d_ceri_scarf_blushu: O-oh, I guess that's true.
:7d_kharadra_gentle: You're right that I should act as I always have, it's just...
:7d_kharadra_blushusmile: I-I'll need a moment to think about it.
:7d_kharadra_smile: So you're going naked, then?
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: I'll do what you end up deciding to do! Let's match!
:7d_kharadra_happy: ~Cheeheeheep~!~ You're adorable as always, dear~!
:7d_ceri_scarf_smile: Heehee. For now, let's at least wear our robes to the massage room. No sense rushing into nudity!
:7d_ceri_scarf_woe: (The sacrifices I make for friendship...)
:7d_kharadra_smile: Ok! Let's meet up after our massages so we can go to the spa together!
:7d_ceri_scarf_blushusmile: Actually... do you think it'd be possible to get the massage like... together? In the same room?
:7d_kharadra_shocked: *Chirp!?*
:7d_ceri_scarf_stressed: I-it's nothing like that!
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: It's just... the thing is... I'm SOMEWHAT FEMININE, but I rarely get to explore my 'feminine' side.
:7d_ceri_scarf_gentle: Usually it's overshadowed by my domi-- er... my 'take charge' attitude? Let's go with that.
:7d_ceri_scarf_blushusmile: And until very recently the other women in my life weren't very feminine either.
:7d_ceri_scarf_moreblushu: I'm sorry if this sounds weird! But maybe... we could do this together? Have some Girl Talk?
:7d_kharadra_happy: ~Cheeheehee~!~ So you've grown up around boys, huh?
:7d_ceri_scarf_goodness: Even my mother and sister are pretty masculine, yeah.
:7d_kharadra_smile: ~Cheehee~~ That would explain your adorable naivete.
:7d_kharadra_gentle: 'Girl Talk' is only really a thing in magazines and sitcom stories, dearie.
:7d_ceri_scarf_blushusmile: Oh... I guess that makes sense...
:7d_ceri_scarf_concerned: S-sorry if that was a weird question.
:7d_kharadra_happy: ~Cheehee~!~ I'm not saying no, sweety!
:7d_kharadra_smile: You gave me the courage to come here as my True Self, so it's only fair I give you some company.
:7d_kharadra_gentle: Maybe it'd make it less awkward remaining as my True Self, *Chirp*.
:7d_ceri_scarf_happy: Yeah! Us polymorphers gotta stick together!

The screen fades out.


:7d_empty: You find a locker and remove your clothes, an act so natural you forget to seek out a dressing room first.
:7d_empty: You put on the gown and-- whoa! This fabric's soft and comfy!
:7d_empty: Wait, you just disrobed in front of Kharadra! You look around nervously.
:7d_empty: ...Ah, she must have found a dressing room.
:7d_empty: You wait for her to switch OUTFITs, then the two of you head to a two-person massage room.
:7d_empty: Kharadra makes her way towards one of the tables as you close the door behind you.
:7d_empty: You stare at the door a moment. You can't help but feel a little nervous.
:7d_empty: Were you too forward in asking her to do this with you? Maybe you should have asked your NEURONS for advice.
:7d_empty: Come on, Ceri. It's not like you're trying to date her. She's your friend! This is a friend activity!
:7d_kharadra_smile: Hurry up and join me, Ceri! They'll be here any second~!

:7d_empty: ...!!!
:7d_empty: Kharadra has removed her gown and is smiling sweetly at you...!
:7d_empty: Act natural! Act natural!!
:7d_ceri_nude_blushu: O-oh! S-so you decided to go naked, then? Y-you didn't have to...!
:7d_kharadra_happy: ~Cheeheeheehee~!~
:7d_kharadra_smile: I was going to leave my clothes on to be more comfortable...
:7d_kharadra_happy: But then I decided, 'fuck it'! This is my true body, and I won't let myself feel ashamed of it!
:7d_ceri_nude_shocked: (S-she swore!)
:7d_ceri_nude_smile: That's the spirit! These are our bodies! This is us!
:7d_empty: You go to disrobe, trying to act natural and trying harder not to steal glances at her naked body.
:7d_empty: You fail.
:7d_empty: She's... she's so pretty. And that smile...
:7d_empty: And her massive chest looks every bit as real as yours! She's put so much work into realism, and...

Ceri's TILDE raises a bit.

:7d_empty: ...You so badly want to add her to your hoard!!!
:7d_empty: Augh! Get it together, Ceri! You've been on the other side of this!
:7d_ceri_nude_smile: Ahem. I'm glad you're feeling more okay with yourself. And you should!
:7d_ceri_nude_blushu: Seriously you look amazing as your True Self.
:7d_kharadra_happy: ~Cheeheep~!~ So do you, dear! These are our wonderful, beautiful bodies!
:7d_ceri_nude_moreblushu: I've never been so happy to help someone else as I am right now.
:7d_empty: She laughs, causing her chest to gently shake. That's... an amazing attention to detail.
:7d_empty: It's one thing to polymorph the shape, but she's basically perfected the movement as well.
:7d_empty: Even as she reaches behind herself to scratch her back, they deform in a way that looks so... natural.
:7d_empty: It's such a contrast to the other polymorphs you've seen. The reptilian woman you met wasn't so good at the movement...
:7d_empty: ...And even Tempest doesn't quite nail all the subtle ways muscles and gravity can have an effect.
:7d_kharadra_happy: My~! You really are admiring my work~!
:7d_ceri_nude_blushusmile: Ah--!
:7d_ceri_nude_lookaway: Actually, this time you're right on the money.
:7d_ceri_nude_smile: It's amazing how well you've captured not just the shape, but subtle things like muscle movement.
:7d_empty: Kharadra's eyes widen in surprise, then she beams with pure joy.
:7d_kharadra_happy: Finally! Finally!! Someone who truly understands all the work and studying and practice I've put into this!
:7d_ceri_nude_happy: A good day for the both of us!

Screen fades out.

:7d_empty: You finish disrobing and take a seat on the second massage table.
:7d_empty: Just as you're so ready to listen to Kharadra talk about her tits, there's a soft knock on the door.

You know, Ralians and El'himzen live on my planet, too. I wonder how they got all the way over here?

:7d_empty: A ralian and an El'himzen walk in. Their eyes widen slightly as they see you, then widen even more upon seeing Kharadra.
:7d_empty: But it's only for a moment, as they then smile warmly at the two of you.
:7d_femelnpc_neutral: Hello, dearies~! We're here to defeat those nasty knots that plague you so!
:7d_femralnpc_neutral: Haha, she means to say that we're here to make you feel nice and relaxed.
:7d_ceri_nude_happy: Yes, bring a swift end to our stress with your mighty hands!
:7d_femelnpc_neutral: We shan't let you down, fair maiden!
:7d_kharadra_happy: ~Cheeheehee~!~ Bet you're happy someone's actually playing along with your knight routine!
:7d_femelnpc_neutral: This might be the best day of my life.
:7d_ceri_nude_goodness: (Skif and Saint would love her, I bet.)
:7d_femralnpc_neutral: Okay! Let's start with a nice shoulder massage. Would the two of you mind laying on your backs?
:7d_femelnpc_neutral: May the soft foam provide comfort in these dark times!
:7d_kharadra_happy: Ceri, be sure to check out how naturally my breasts react to gravity!
:7d_ceri_nude_blushu: Oh, I will.
:7d_ceri_nude_goodness: Not to... brag? But I get the feeling mine will react pretty well, too.
:7d_ceri_nude_gentle: Oh, um... sorry if we sound weird.
:7d_femralnpc_neutral: Not at all, hun! I'm equally excited to show off whenever I get my hair done!
:7d_femelnpc_neutral: Or when I find a chivalrously cute outfit~

:7d_empty: The two of you lay back, watching how the other moves with similar goals but vastly different motives.
:7d_empty: She had good reason to brag-- she really does look natural. As if she, like you, has tits naturally and not via magic.
:7d_empty: Why do they invoke such strong feelings? You literally have the big-- second-biggest set you've ever run into.
:7d_empty: Why is it so different when they're on someone else? And other girls don't often share your... obsession.
:7d_empty: Maybe it's because of how much they've become a part of your identity?
:7d_empty: Or maybe this is a sign that your dragon self has boobs???

:7d_cheithink: How many of you are hoping that's the case, I wonder…
:7d_siphonstare2:
:7d_cheishock: Siphon...!?
:7d_siphonstare2: Dragon boobs...
:7d_cheideepthought: That's a good point.


:7d_empty: Wait-- you're naked in a room with Kharadra. This is not the time for introspection!
:7d_empty: Let's focus. You must ask Kharadra for the intimate details of how she's able to polymorph so... so much, so well.

:7d_ceri_nude_massage: Oh... that's nice.
:7d_kharadra_massage: Ah, I really needed this.
:7d_femralnpc_neutral: Feeling good, huh?
:7d_femelnpc_neutral: Just relax and allow us to take you to a realm of comfort and peace.
:7d_empty: You glance over at Kharadra, who has her eyes closed and looks to indeed be in the 'realm of comfort and peace'.
:7d_empty: Guess conversation's not quite on the table yet, haha.

If Ceri's TILDE is fairly high:

:7d_empty: You watch her chest jiggle slightly as the el'himzen works on her. Gods, even the jiggle's realistic.
:7d_empty: Do others look at you like this? When you laugh, or cough... do they anticipate your own motions?
:7d_empty: In this moment, you find yourself unable to blame them. It's such a wonderful sight.

Ceri's TILDE raises by 10. Whoa-hoa! Numbers!

:7d_empty: And now, you find yourself wishing you were the one giving her that massage...
:7d_empty: ...! Y-you shouldn't think like that! She's just a friend! And also your boss sort of!
:7d_empty: With all your might, you force yourself to look away and close your eyes.
:7d_empty: M-maybe she does enjoy being 'admired', but... there will be time for that later.
:7d_empty: For now, you have to at least try to enjoy the massage.

Can anyone get Ceri a glass of water? She's clearly thirsty.

If Ceri's TILDE is low:

:7d_empty: Tempting as it might be to gawk at Kharadra, you know you wouldn't want someone gawking at you while you're relaxing.
:7d_empty: (...Okay, you kinda would. But not everyone is a huge exhibitionist like you are.)
:7d_empty: No, there will be time to focus on them-- on her later. For now, this is about you.
:7d_empty: You close your eyes and relax. For the moment, you'll just relax and enjoy this massage.

Paths converge:

:7d_empty: ....
:7d_empty: Wow, you had no idea how tense you've become. Then again, the past few weeks have been quite the roller-coaster.
:7d_empty: So much so that the massage is a bit painful at first, your ARMO(u)R doing nothing to save you.
:7d_empty: But soon, that tension begins to ease, and you feel your shoulders relax more and more.

Fading to black? In my LP!? It's more likely than you think!

:7d_empty: Mmm... This is nice....
:7d_empty: Some time passes, and the ralian stops her motions. Oh no, you're not ready for it to end yet...!
:7d_femralnpc_neutral: Okay, sweethearts. Would you mind laying on your belly for us?
:7d_femelnpc_neutral: Your backs are also in need of our mighty powers!
:7d_femralnpc_neutral: Oh-- right! Would you like some pillows to prop yourselves up with?
:7d_ceri_nude_neutral: (Huh? Why would...)
:7d_ceri_nude_goodness: (Oh, right.)

:7d_empty: As they leave to grab what you presume are the largest pillows they have, you're alone with Kharadra once again.
:7d_kharadra_happy: ~Chipeep~!~ Finally, I get to experience the joy of needing accommodation~!
:7d_ceri_nude_goodness: Sure, joy is totally the word I'd use.
:7d_kharadra_happy: Aren't you excited? We finally get to be ourselves! They didn't even ask us to polymorph ourselves flat for 'convenience!'
:7d_ceri_nude_gentle: Haha, yeah, I guess it's nice to be treated like any other person in that regard.
:7d_ceri_nude_goodness: (Sometimes I actually prefer the convenience, but I'll stay like this for Kharadra's sake.)

We fade out yet again.

:7d_empty: Soon the two mammals return with pillows in hand, looking a bit apologetic.
:7d_femralnpc_neutral: Sorry, sweeties. It totally slipped our minds to bring these.
:7d_ceri_nude_gentle: That's okay. This is probably the first time you've had to do so for a reptilian and an itkiaki, heh.

Goodness, all that's just her side-boob? Kharadra really is equipped to handle any problem! Well, any problem that can be solved by throwing two gigantic boobs at them.

:7d_ceri_nude_massage: Oh wow, these pillows are really nice.
:7d_femralnpc_neutral: Really takes a weight off, huh?
:7d_femelnpc_neutral: Are you feeling a lack of discomfort in your mighty breasts as well, dear?
:7d_kharadra_happy: Don't worry about me, *Chirp~!* My breasts can compress like natural ones do, so I'm nice and comfortable!
:7d_ceri_nude_blushu: Wow, they really do act like real ones.
:7d_kharadra_smile: And-- oh! Yours too!
:7d_kharadra_happy: It's so nice to have a fellow polymorpher with such an attention for detail~!
:7d_ceri_nude_stressed: Haha, yep. That's me!
:7d_ceri_nude_concerned: (I feel a little dishonest here, taking credit for something I don't actually have control over.)
:7d_ceri_nude_gentle: (But... I guess even if I was normally flat, it wouldn't be much effort to mimic this level of realism.)
:7d_ceri_nude_gentle: (If I think about it like that, maybe it's not so bad.)
:7d_kharadra_smile: And did you notice the realism as I turned around? It took years to get that right!
:7d_ceri_nude_blushu: Y-yeah, it was... really good...
:7d_kharadra_happy: Maybe I'll let you feel how the weight shifts around sometime!

Ceri's TILDE raises a bit.

:7d_empty: Though you're both here as your 'True Selves', you concede that a back massage is much easier to do without your fin in the way.
:7d_empty: Doing this always feels so weird. It's like polymorphing away your ability to feel temperature and wind.
:7d_empty: Sure, you've polymorphed part of your fin away to make certain outfits fit, and you've been finless creatures tons of times...
:7d_empty: ...But doing it and staying yourself, staying naked... it's just weird.
:7d_empty: Thankfully, the weirdness is short-lived as the ralian begins her work.
:7d_empty: Strong as your back is, there's no denying the tension it's built up over the years.
:7d_empty: You wince as the ralian applies more pressure. Your ARMO(u)R isn't saving you here, either!
:7d_empty: Bites and scratches do nothing, but a gentle massage? That cuts right through you. This is a dragon's true weakness.
:7d_empty: Clearly you need only go for the deep tissue to bring a mighty dragon to its knees.
:7d_empty: But as much as it hurts, it also feels... wonderful~
:7d_femralnpc_neutral: How's the pressure, hun?
:7d_ceri_nude_massage: Yes~ Hurt me more~
:7d_femralnpc_neutral: Oh, my!
:7d_kharadra_massage: No she's right. More please.
:7d_femelnpc_neutral: Then let us do battle with all our strength!
:7d_femralnpc_neutral: I'll do my best...!
:7d_empty: More and more your muscles loosen, and pain gives way to relaxation. Ah... you really must get your hoard to do this...
:7d_empty: Maybe Gulketi... he'd definitely use enough pressure.

:7d_cheihuh: Man, I don't think I'd actually survive asking Gulketi to massage me.
:7d_siphonexhausted: You'd make it. He gives even pressure and everything can bend.
:7d_cheisweat: But there's a limit to how much bending I can do...!
:7d_siphoneyes: And when's the last time you actually tested that limit?
:7d_cheiblushu: Well, there's that time we...
:7d_cheithink: ...Huh. I guess it has been a while.


:7d_empty: You're glad you chose to do this, even if you didn't get to have much of a conversation with Kharadra in the end.
:7d_empty: There will be plenty of time to talk at the spa, and in the pool. For now, you will simply enjoy having made a Good Decision.
:7d_empty: Sure, you could have chosen to have your breasts or butt worked on...
:7d_empty: ...But this is almost better than sex.
:7d_empty: You close your eyes, and give yourself to the ralian to do with as she pleases. Platonically for once.

Normally I wouldn't tell you the screen faded out for a single line, but it sure is happening a lot this update, huh?

:7d_femralnpc_neutral: How are you two feeling? Better?
:7d_ceri_nude_smile: I feel like I'm several years younger.
:7d_kharadra_smile: You're already young, silly~!
:7d_kharadra_happy: But not as young as I feel right now, ~Cheepeep~!~
:7d_femelnpc_neutral: Another victory against the forces of stress! Good job, my faithful companion!
:7d_femralnpc_neutral: Thanks, hun. Okay, you two are hitting the sauna next, right?
:7d_kharadra_smile: *Chirp~!* That's right!
:7d_ceri_nude_smile: We're gonna get so toasty.
:7d_femralnpc_neutral: Haha, I hope you enjoy yourselves! Have a good day, sweethearts.
:7d_femelnpc_neutral: May your battles be swift and victorious!
:7d_femralnpc_neutral: Yeah what she said.
:7d_ceri_nude_happy: Thanks~!

At this point, we converge with the other paths. As I suspect some of you may know, if you had chosen to get a BOOB or BUTT MASSAGE, Kharadra would wear a towel during the rest of this scene.

:7d_cheibeams: But since we chose the wholesome path, Kharadra will stay naked. What a nice reward for considering her feelings!
:7d_siphonthink: Very important to consider people's feelings when they're naked and self-conscious!

:7d_empty: Before long, you and Kharadra stand before one of the saunas.
:7d_ceri_nude_smile: I've never been to a sauna before. Is there anything special we need to do? Or is it just being really hot?
:7d_kharadra_happy: ~Cheeheep~!~ You are simply adorable~!
:7d_ceri_nude_blushu: I-it's not like it's common knowledge!
:7d_kharadra_smile: It wouldn't be very relaxing if it was just a room that got very hot, now would it?
:7d_kharadra_smile: Saunas make the room both hot and humid, which might not sound great but is actually quite relaxing!
:7d_ceri_nude_thoughtful: I see! Maybe the heat helps our muscles expand, or something?
:7d_kharadra_gentle: I'm not sure of the details, *Cheep*, but they're also known to help pain, like if you strain a muscle.
:7d_ceri_nude_smile: I'll have to keep that in mind next time I work myself too hard!
:7d_kharadra_smile: *Chirp~!* Let's head on in!

:7d_empty: The two of you enter and sit across from each other, giving you an unobstructed view of her entire body.
:7d_empty: You can't help but blush as you sit next to her. She makes that size look good. Really good.
:7d_empty: It's especially impressive considering the rest of her frame isn't exactly built for the added weight.
:7d_empty: She's not really broad, nor is she chubby like you are. There's no added weight to justify the size she employs.
:7d_empty: And yet, she makes it work. Her 'True Beauty' really is beautiful.
:7d_kharadra_smile: *Satisfied Chirp!* Now this is nice~
:7d_ceri_nude_blushusmile: Y-yeah... nice...
:7d_ceri_nude_blushu: (I-I shouldn't stare. There's appreciating artwork, and then there's being a giant gawking creep!)
:7d_ceri_nude_blushu: (Also she's sort of my boss!)
:7d_ceri_nude_sillysad: (WHY IS SHE SO FUCKING HOT!?!?)
:7d_kharadra_blushu: *Chirp?*
:7d_ceri_nude_shocked: (Oh gods! She noticed I was--!)
:7d_kharadra_smile: Oh! Right! We were going to compare notes!
:7d_ceri_nude_shocked: We were?
:7d_ceri_nude_stressed: Ah! Right! Yes!
:7d_ceri_nude_blushuwat: (THAT WAS CLOSE.)
:7d_kharadra_smile: You saw them react to gravity before, but I put much more thought into these than that, *Chirp!*
:7d_kharadra_smile: I didn't want a 'perfect' shape for myself. The real beauty of breasts is how varied they are.
:7d_kharadra_smile: I wanted a natural shape, flaws and all. I wanted to capture the effects of gravity and motion, even standing still.
:7d_ceri_nude_blushusmile: I-I'd say you've done a hell of a job on that front.
:7d_kharadra_happy: But you already understand all this, *Cheep~!* You've likewise gone for a very natural shape!
:7d_kharadra_happy: And don't think I haven't noticed how well you've mimicked both their weight and their connection to your muscles~!
:7d_ceri_nude_blushu: ...!
:7d_ceri_nude_blushu: (W-was she staring at me like I was staring at her??)
:7d_ceri_nude_goodness: (I suppose I wasn't looking into her eyes very much...)
:7d_ceri_nude_lookaway: (Maybe she hasn't looked at mine much either? Maybe that's why she hasn't noticed how lustful my gaze must be.)
:7d_ceri_nude_blushu: (I-I don't know how I feel about platonic boob-staring!)

This part only happens if you were wholesome earlier~

:7d_kharadra_happy: Notice how they react to me holding them up! I've cut no corners when it comes to how they connect to me, *chirp~!*

Ceri's TILDE raises slightly.

:7d_ceri_nude_moreblushu: (AAAHHH YOU'RE KILLING ME HERE KHARADRA.)
:7d_kharadra_gentle: I'm not going to pretend there aren't mistakes, of course. There's a few things I haven't gotten quite right yet.
:7d_kharadra_smile: But I'm really happy with the progress I've made so far!
:7d_ceri_nude_stressed: Y-yeah! You've done such a good job! Mine are... um...
:7d_kharadra_happy: *Cheep~!* I have it easy compared to you, dear! You have to deal with scales and plating!
:7d_ceri_nude_lookaway: Yeah even I'm not entirely sure how my chest plates are supposed to work.
:7d_kharadra_smile: No need to be modest! I'm actually pretty jealous just how natural yours look!
:7d_kharadra_happy: And how real they felt when I was measuring you, ~Cheepeep~!~
:7d_ceri_nude_blushusmile: Y-you don't have to be jealous... yours already look so nice...
:7d_kharadra_smile: Oh my! And now your nipples are hardening! It took me two seasons to figure out how to do that!
:7d_ceri_nude_blushu: (T-they're doing that because of your nipples! Specifically, me seeing them!)
:7d_kharadra_worried: Though... hmm. I hope you don't mind a little constructive critique?
:7d_ceri_nude_shocked: There's something to critique??
:7d_ceri_nude_stressed: Er, I mean... sure! I'd love to uh... improve?
:7d_kharadra_gentle: Just a minor thing! Your nipples hardening is really impressive! But, they generally only do that if you're cold or aroused.
:7d_kharadra_happy: ~Cheehee~!~ And we're in a sauna, dear! If anything, they should be softer in here!
:7d_ceri_nude_shocked: Oh, um...

:7d_siphonpeek: Oh no, the one true weakness of having subtle signs of arousal, people paying close attention to those signs.
:7d_cheihahawhat: I-I don't think Kharadra was specifically looking for those signs!


How should Ceri respond?

A: "They're doing that because of you!"
B: "Oops! My mistake!"

Honesty got us this far!

:7d_ceri_nude_blushu: A-about that... I'm sitting naked in a room with an attractive woman!
:7d_kharadra_blushu: *C-chirp!?* Oh no! I forgot!
:7d_ceri_nude_blushusmile: Yeah. The whole bisexual thing.
:7d_kharadra_stressed: W-well! Guess my critique isn't warranted after all! *C-cheep!*
:7d_ceri_nude_blushusmile: S-sorry.
:7d_kharadra_smile: ~Cheeheep!~ Don't be sorry, sweety!
:7d_kharadra_smile: Like I said, I take stuff like that as a compliment!
:7d_kharadra_gentle: Really, I should have remembered that before asking you to do this and making you uncomfortable.
:7d_ceri_nude_blushusmile: I-it's okay, really. I don't mind.
:7d_kharadra_happy: I have to admire your dedication~! You willingly polymorphed hard nipples, even though it'd be embarrassing!
:7d_kharadra_smile: That's exactly how I feel, too. These things get in the way so very often, and I have to make my own clothes to have anything fit.
:7d_kharadra_happy: But I never 'put them away' just because they're inconvenient, because this is who I really am!
:7d_ceri_nude_gentle: W-when you put it that way...
:7d_kharadra_gentle: ~Cheehee~~ I'm just glad to know someone who understands True Beauty the way I do.
:7d_ceri_nude_blushusmile: W-well... I'm glad you like my 'work', too.

:7d_kharadra_happy: ~Cheeheehee~!~ That just makes it more fun to share~!
:7d_kharadra_smile: And it's still much better to be appreciated than it is to be judged.

:7d_empty: Kharadra relaxes her shoulders and closes her eyes. You take a moment to appreciate the non-boob parts of her form.
:7d_empty: Even hefting her mounds aside, she's a pretty cute birb!
:7d_empty: Her other features aren't as curvy as your own, but she looks very soft and huggable.
:7d_empty: You'd totally ask her out, even if she was a normal flat-chested itkiaki.
:7d_empty: Especially knowing how sweet and kind she is! She really is quite a catch.
:7d_empty: It's surprising she's single. Do the boobs push potential suitors away? You've hardly struggled with a similar 'handicap'.
:7d_empty: Or maybe, and this is hard to even fathom, romance isn't a high priority for her?
:7d_empty: I know, I know!
:7d_empty: Either way, you have to admire her dedication to looking exactly how she wants to look.
:7d_empty: You've learned to love your, as Daatra calls it, 'weird body', but she had to work hard to achieve her vision.
:7d_empty: It's hard not to respect that.

Screen fades out.

:7d_empty: The two of you continue to make small talk as the room gets nice and toasty.
:7d_empty: Before long, you find yourself feeling more relaxed than ever. You lean back and close your eyes, letting your mind wander.
:7d_empty: ....
:7d_kharadra_gentle: I really appreciate everything you've done, by the way.
:7d_ceri_nude_shocked: Huh-wha!?
:7d_kharadra_happy: ~Cheeheehee~!~ Sorry, dear! I didn't mean to scare you~!
:7d_ceri_nude_gentle: Haha, I guess I let my mind wander a bit, there.

Music: A Gentle Moment


:7d_kharadra_worried: I kept telling myself one day I'd come here as my True Self, but I don't think I ever would have without you nudging me.
:7d_kharadra_worried: I never feel like myself with a flat chest. It feels 'wrong', like I'm in someone else's body.
:7d_ceri_nude_gentle: That's perfectly normal for polymorphers like us.
:7d_kharadra_gentle: *Cheehee...* It's so nice to have someone who understands.
:7d_kharadra_gentle: I hope I haven't made you too uncomfortable, since you're into girls.
:7d_ceri_nude_blushusmile: It's no big deal. It just means I enjoy your work both as a fellow artist, and as someone who appreciates feminine beauty.
:7d_kharadra_blushusmile: You're such a sweet girl, *Chirp*. I'm sorry I can't quite reciprocate.
:7d_ceri_nude_gentle: Sorry if this is too personal, but...
:7d_kharadra_smile: *Cheehee~!* It's okay, dear!
:7d_kharadra_smile: The truth is, beans and sossiges don't really appeal to me in the way they do for you.
:7d_ceri_nude_shocked: Y-you know about beans and sossig??
:7d_kharadra_happy: ~Cheehee~!~ I try to keep up with the lingo kids use, sweety~! Helps with running a store~!
:7d_kharadra_blushusmile: Don't get me wrong, I have all the same urges and desires everyone else does...
:7d_kharadra_blushusmile: But for me, it's more about the emotional connection. I want to be with someone I care for.
:7d_ceri_nude_goodness: And I don't quite fit that bill.
:7d_kharadra_shocked: *Chirp!!* I... Uh...
:7d_ceri_nude_gentle: Haha, sorry. I couldn't resist having a bit of fun.
:7d_ceri_nude_gentle: No, I understand what you mean. For you it's all about the BOND, not how someone looks or what they have equipped.
:7d_kharadra_smile: Yeah. And right now I'm focused entirely on my store. I don't really have time to think about romance.
:7d_ceri_nude_thoughtful: That's understandable.
:7d_ceri_nude_gentle: And you don't have to worry about making me uncomfortable. I'm just glad my only 'tell' are a couple of hard nipples.
:7d_kharadra_smile: ~Cheehee~!~ I've seen your other tell, too~!
:7d_ceri_nude_shocked: Oh shit right the time I was a ketza.
:7d_ceri_nude_concerned: I still feel bad about... that whole thing.
:7d_kharadra_gentle: You've more than made up for that, dear. I'm sure your friend feels the same way.
:7d_ceri_nude_verygentle: Yeah...
:7d_ceri_nude_verygentle: I learned a lot during all that. I learned to express my feelings, even if they're not always happy...
:7d_ceri_nude_verygentle: ...And how much my friends mean to me.
:7d_ceri_nude_smile: That goes for you, too. I'm more than happy to have you as my friend.
:7d_ceri_nude_smug: Getting to see your lovely body is just a nice bonus.
:7d_empty: You tense up when you realize Kharadra didn't laugh at your admittedly awkward joke.
:7d_empty: Did you go too far...?
:7d_empty: Before you have time to get stuck in your own head, you notice tears well up in her eyes.

:7d_empty: You scoot over and give Kharadra a hug. This causes her to cry even more, which causes you to cry even more.
:7d_empty: Good thing the sauna's water-tight.
:7d_empty: She pulls you closer, and you find yourself unable to care that you're both naked.
:7d_empty: Has she really been alone all this time? The poor thing...
:7d_empty: She pulls away, blushing slightly.
:7d_empty: "Sorry, dear. I know you didn't come here to see me cry," she says.
:7d_empty: You smile softly. "Crying is just what we do sometimes. It's natural!"
:7d_empty: "Especially when we're happy," you say.
:7d_empty: "*C-chee...* Don't say that-- you'll set me off again."
:7d_empty: You hug her tighter. "I won't say a word, then."

We fade out.


:7d_empty: The two of you enjoy each others' company a while longer, until the time comes to head back out into the world.
:7d_empty: Even if Kharadra doesn't ultimately join your HOARD OF DRAGON ROMANCE, it's nice to have someone who understands you, in a way.
:7d_empty: Your body is the result of Life-Magic, and hers the result of POLYMORPH. Different magic schools, but a similar result.
:7d_empty: One day, when you tame the beast inside you and return to your true self, you hope she'll be there to help you accept that form.
:7d_empty: To accept your True Form the way she's fought for others to accept her own.
:7d_empty: Until that day, you want to do everything you can to help her succeed.
:7d_empty: Even if she never ultimately becomes more than a friend, it's a friendship you'll be more than glad to have.
:7d_empty: ....
:7d_empty: As you make your way outside, the reptilian woman remarks at how relaxed the two of you look.
:7d_empty: You smile at her, saying this is the calmest you've felt in a very long time.
:7d_empty: You give Kharadra one final hug before once again setting off to tackle whatever awaits you.

If Ceri's TILDE is very high:

:7d_ceri_scarf_sultry: ...Why not? Could be fun, and my TILDE demands sating~

Otherwise:


:7d_tempest_happy: Yep! Don't worry, I know a spot that's nice and deserted~
