AHHHHH I don’t wanna make this delivery in just my panties! I gotta keep the nightie!

“Hold on tight!” I tell Autumn, I swoop as low as I can get under the clothesline and Dotti is RIGHT THERE

oh no

I flap as hard as I can as she lunges at me, greedily going for my Deviled Egg. Ahhh!

I pull up just in time, tucking my legs, and my talons pass over something- did I accidentally cut her>?

She lets out a big fox scream.

Oh yeah I think I definitely cut her…

“I’m sorry!” I plead as she yowls at me and I feel awful but it’s her fault!

“She’s really mad!” Autumn says as we race for the delivery window.

I’m gonna regret this, I know it.

I don’t see any blood on my talons, thankfully, when I alight on the windowsill. There aren’t any guards- and for some reason I can feel the wards let me pass through. It feels tingly. Too tingly. My whole body shivers and I hope everything is proper.

We arrive just in time before the sun crests the horizon. We did it! And… oh no.

It’s a full-fledged Censor waiting for us.

“Oh, now this is a treat,” the Censor says, smiling, hands outstretched. She’s the recipient?!

“Um…” Autumn opens up her inventory. “There’s a password.”

“Under the Veil,” the Censor says, a sly grin making its way across her features. “You’re just in time, too. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the chance to wear this for the blessings… Not a word from you two, understood?”

Oh wow. She is INTO this. Did we just become secret-keepers?

We bob in agreement and receive the HEFTY payment. The Censor looks me up and down and I realize I’m not fully decent.

Awwwwwww this SUCKS

“Is… your outfit part of the delivery package for intimates?” the Censor asks, clearly interested.

Oh no

If I say yes, then she’ll definitely hire us again, I can feel it. And that’s LOTS of money.

But is it worth it?!

Do I offer the nightie special again?
1. Yes, the pay is just too good!
2. No, I respect myself too much to fly around like this again!

1: Depends how well you tip me.

1. It pays well and you can just fly high again, can't you?

>>1129008
Tell her this was unplanned, so she'd have to pay extra.

1, *siiiiigh* strip and Give her the nightie, but be clear the panties stays on!!!

oh wait, when she asked if that outfit was part of the delivery package for intimates, did she mean just as a spectacle and not a literally part of the delivery for her to have? shit! GIVE THAT BAAAAAAACK!

1, Oh yes, definitely. That money is so good!

1 good for business

1 yes but itll cost you twice next time. today was a promotional special

Yessssssss more nighty special!

>>1129008
Mmmnh.
Its such a good promotion.
And! Its only important the nightie is on when the delivery is made.
Some easily sheddable outer clothes and you could pull that off with minimal risk.

Also, cute cute nighty.
Very daring.

Wait! This is a nun who pretends to be in favour of censorship, but is secretly sus.

If people like that can thrive in this church, it will become more and more nonesensical and harmful over time.
In 50 years it will be full of angry nuns lashing out at anything lewd other than themselves, young priests chocking themselves with their censor wands for fun, and gay fuschia bandit goats!

2) I'm sorry, but true happiness comes from things money can't buy: summoning a goddess just to tattletale on a naughty nun.

the outfit is one of the random possible surprises you get when you pay for expedited delivery, ma'am

This Censor is freaky. It says bad things about the Church when these are the people running it. What will happen fifty years from now? People choking themselves for fun, while cracking down on short skirts in public?

Maybe.

But what’s not a maybe is that I really want this all to be worth it. And I need new shorts. And money.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhh

“No, this isn’t part of the delivery service,” I say, “Because… it’s a special. And it’s one of many, uh, possible surprises. The next time you want this service, uh… it’ll cost triple.”

“Done,” the Censor says, without a whiff of hesitation. She hands over the fee and a VERY nice sweetener to Autumn.

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I just want to go home. I just want to go back to my room at the adventurers’ guild RIGHT NOW. The sun is just barely coming up and my nipples are out and it’s WEIRD and I can’t HANDLE this any more, I am LEAVING. Before I know it I’m flying ahead of autumn and just going straight back.

I really hope the town guard isn’t watching out for me. I think they saw me earlier.

Autumn is flapping behind me. Shoot, did I blow it already?

“Um, we gotta do something, fast!” she says. “There’s guard coming, I heard something, uh… we can try and hide in some rafters, or… or claim sanctuary in the Church of Eirene, or… or just go really fast, I don’t know! Apricot, why are you so… so hasty?!”

“Because I get things done, okay?!” I huff. Why is she picking right NOW to argue with me? She’s not supposed to argue with me! I’m the one who works hardest here! I flap all day and train hard and take risks!

Autumn is being unfair!
1. If you got a problem with results, just say so!
2. I got us paid!
3. In fact, this extra tip is all my money, since I’m the one in the nightie!
4. All of the above

I’m upset!
A. Keep flying
B. Keep flying
C. Keep flying
D. I’m not listening!

Well, you got paid didn't you?
Hide in some rafters, you fussy raptor.

4 and fly so high they cannot catch you!

4? 4!

1. No time to hear the other stuff, it'll waste time. Just hear the important stuff autumn wants to say.

3) you worked hard in trying circumstances. Autumn should have been out in her nightie too.

Now that you aren't on the clock, do you want to fly? couldn't you flit from roof to roof, keeping low and hidden?

Definitely 4, and keep flying!

Be mad! Autumn wants you to hide so bad? Crash through an upper story window! Or if you’re not quite mad enough for that much self endangerment, just like, violently break in without breaking the glass. Either way, curl up into a ball of upsetness and REFUSE to engage with any of your surroundings, ESPECIALLY AUTUMN!!!




…Then cry. Cry a lot.

1, 2, A, B, C, D

4.
Fly home like partially nude lightning
And then

>>1131469

This.

Because its been an overwhelming day and it hasnt even started.

But remember.
Despite telling them about it, You dont have to take deliverys to the church of hidden perversions.

Yeah… yeah! I worked hard, and I deserve the money. I’m gonna fly home FAST and get it over with. Autumn doesn’t understand how to get things done. Only I do!

“If you got a problem with how I get things done, then you gotta do ‘em!” I declare. “I earned this payday, so I decide how I spend it. And I decide how I end it, too!”

I’m upset. Really upset! So upset I don’t want to change my mind on ANYTHING! I just want to go home right now and get this over with!

-------

The spirits are now influencing AUTUMN.

-------

Oh, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad…

“W-wait, Apricot!”

It’s no use. She’s flying really fast and not listening to me. I can barely hold on to the scruff of her neck, and our contract magic feels just strong enough to keep me close. She’s really pushing it.

“Apricot, please don’t fly too high, the guards will see you again and… and… and you might go to jail!”

I don’t want Apricot to go to jail! She’s a good girl! They’ll eat her alive!

Oh dear sweet summer she’s diving straight for a window she is NOT a good girl

I have to convince her to not commit a crime, and for her to let me just go get her some CLOTHES and STAY PUT

Please don’t commit property damage!

I have to say something!
1. I’m sorry!
2. I should have been in a nightie too!
3. I’ll do whatever you want, just stay put and don’t commit crimes!
4. Other

2 & 3.

2) Solidarity is the best way to stick together.

1, 2, and 3. an apology, sympathy, and bribery are the perfect ingredients for an effective persuasion check

4. you got fairy dust, perhaps you can use it to temporarily shine a huge light around Apricot so nobody will see her high in the air, or that it is her doing property damage. the light will blind everyone.

Sure you'll lose some fairy dust, but that's a sacrifice you have to take.

The only thing I can think of to stop her in her tracks is to say something really shocking??? Apologizing is good, but might actually make the upsetness MORE upset, since Apricot is very much in “Run Away Frantically” mode. For now, just brace for impact and be ready to be there for her once she breaks down.

>>1131749

1, 2, 3

4 and 1: Burst into loud sobs, stopping her dead in her tracks outta shock and guilt, and then apologize for letting this get so out of hand. Then express your concerns and plead with her not to start committing crimes for quick cash.

4) Strip naked and say you're sorry you put Apricot through all of this and you'll suffer alongside her but she can't let this drag her down

>>1131749

Its enough of a non sequitor to cause her to pause,
Maybe give you time to explain why youre worried and come up with a solution to her nakedness,

>>1131829
This might work. Those dramathurgy classes from high-school will really pay off!

Either that, or we can cast a spell that everyone see Apricot as a regular birb.
They can't arrest birbs. Silly guards. They don't understand when you read their rights!

I don’t want Apricot to be a bad girl, I want her to grow and blossom into a daring and brave bird. I want her to be the best she can be! If she breaks windows and gets arrested and thrown in jail, then… then… I’ll be a bad fairy companion.

My lessons from that one dramathurgy class I took to try and boost my speaking voice all flow back at once. It only helped me hang out with theater fairies and remind me how shy I really am compared to real actresses, but… for now, I remember how to make an audience snap to attention.

I let out a wail and sob, sob, sob.

“I’m sorry!” I say, tears flowing down my cheeks. “Stop, please! You’re right! I’ll strip naked right here, just please, please don’t crash!”

Apricot careens off course at the commotion and tumbles midair, barely catching herself in time to swerve away from the window. She barely has enough altitude to recover in the middle of the street and pull up, but the effort leaves her drained and exhausted. Worse, there are people starting to stir in the windows. Apricot pants, looking up at me with frustration. Is that how she really sees me? A dead load?

“I want us to stick together, like friends,” I sniffle. “I don’t want to see you in jail! If you want me to strip, I’ll join you, just like I should have done from the beginning.”

“I don’t want to see you naked! What I want is for you to stop slowing me down!” Apricot says.

“I can be faster. I can be decisive. I’ll take risks. I can be like you, just give me a chance!”

Apricot flaps her feathers in alarm as a shutter gets thrown open. Further up the street, the sound of armored boots echoes down toward us. She flaps her wings and glances to the sky.

“If you stay in the rafters, I’ll go get you something to cover up with, real fast!” I tell her. She grits her beak and flaps, tired, up to the rafters and hides deep inside the roof structure. I follow her in.

“If you were good at your job like me, you could make me godmothered clothes!” Apricot snaps. “And they’d be free, too!”

That stings. A lot. I really COULD make her clothes if we had some soil and dirt. I’m not a city fairy, I’m a horticulture major. What did Apricot do to deserve me?

“I… could make you some leafy clothes… if we were in the forest, but… we’re in the City…” I sniffle. “I’ll go find a real fairy to help you.”

“Okay,” Apricot grumbles.

I turn to leave, but then Apricot lifts her head.

“I’m hungry, too.”

I brighten. That’s something I CAN do. I use some of my Dust to blossom a few seeds growing on my outfit, sprouting them into full-sized fruits. That’s easy. Nurturing and nourishing is great. Clothes, however… those spells are harder for me.

I leave her some fruits and fly toward the Adventurer’s Guild to look for the fairy much, much more experienced and successful than me with her adventurer and who can Godmother outfits like it’s nothing.

I’m going to get Landi.

By the time I get to the guild, the sun is up. Apricot won’t be able to leave her hiding spot, but at least she won’t starve. I have some time. I ask around for Landi, and I’m informed that she’s busy. But… but I really need her! This is going to be awkward, she’s helping her super-successful Noble Lady Adventurer with something VERY IMPORTANT, and… and I need to be ASSERTIVE.

But I can’t just barge in…

But… but Apricot NEEDS me to be rude.

I can be rude and assertive. I can! I CAN!

What do I barge in on Serah and Landi doing?

Testing alchemical elixirs.

Planning a surprise gift for Dotti

loudly arguing over the surprise gift for dotti

loudly arguing over what alchemical elixir they can make for a surprise gift for dotti (maybe we can convince them to have Apricot deliver it to her to make the duo feel better.)

Landi is doing science on Serah's breasts for maximizing charm skill.

They’re consoling a still-pretty-upset Dotti! Also because it’s still early, Sera is still in her nightclothes. Maybe Landi is too? If she wears different clothes at night?

>>1131996
>>1132004

Serah wanted to work on her alchemy, and she needed Landi's help, so this is the compromise they reached. Landi stays close for whenever Serah needs her, and Serah lets her practice magic that she would ABSOLUTELY NOT allow Landi to do anywhere other than the privacy of her bedroom.

It's fine, it's not like some random fairy is gonna barge in and see her magically-enhanced knockers.

>>1132011
Oh yeah, that’s right, Apricot accidentally cut Dotti with her sharp talons. Still going with >>1132003 but its more of an argument of what kind of formulas they should create to heal and/or sooth the Dotti
