Autumn!

Apricot

Apricot, they don't call em early birds for nothing!

Autumn wakes up first

An unrelated third party who has yet to be introduced!

Yay, the adventure returns!

Autumn, she's the responsible one.
The only one who remembers how to handle nagical artifact known as the Fedex.

It is said that if the Fedex is mishandled even ONCE, it will curse the deliverer, who will no longer be able to work with that or any Fedex again, and is relegated to lesser deliveries from then on.

Such a clumsy, cursed deliverer is apropiately known as... an UPS!

I wake up at exactly the same time as my fairy companion. Gosh, we’re so in sync, it’s why we make such a good team! That and the contract, but that’s just paper. Autumn is such a nice fairy, and none of the stuff my friends back home said I should worry about ever came true. I’m so glad Autumn and I are friends!

Big streeeeeeeeeeeetch… today’s gonna be great!

I hop off the bean bag, being careful not to catch my talons on it. I can’t afford another one… not right now. I need to save up to buy another pair of snip-proof shorts after Aífe stole my last pair. She’s NOT my friend right now. Maybe Taranis can convince her to give them back to me if I ask nicely. I shouldn’t have spent so much money on this nice nightie… but it’s so cute!

“I’m gonna go take a shower!” I chirp to Autumn. She doesn’t respond. What’s up with her? She’s holding a new envelope that got shoved under the door.

“Ah… um, c-could you wait a minute, please?”

I pause halfway out the door. “But it’s so early, I’ll have the shower all to myself. I’ve got super bedhead”

“Well, I guess, but…” Autumn clears her throat. “Um, no! This is… really important, actually!” She holds out the letter and it’s marked:

EXTREMELY URGENT

“Whoa, nelly!” I gasp. “That must’a come in overnight! No shower for me. C’mon, gimme! We gotta deliver that before the sun comes up so we can get the overnight deliver bonus! We just gotta go inter-city, right?”

“Well, yes, but… do you want to go out like that? In… your nightie? And…”

“C’mon!” I urge. “Really, how many people’re gonna be out before the sun even comes up? And you don’t know any godmothering spells, it takes forever to help me get dressed.”

Autumn wilts at that. She hates when I bring that up. I feel a bit bad at that, but it’s true. I really do appreciate the help she gives me getting dressed, it would take even LONGER than forever to get dressed in fancy city clothes without her help.

But WE GOTTA GO! It’s URGENT!

What do I say next?

1. “C’mon, the more time we spend talking, the longer it’ll take! No one’s gonna see us! Grab on and let’s go go go go go!”
2. “I’m sorry, I didn’ mean to make y’ upset. Could you please help me put something on? Working t’gether we’ll be quick n’ be done in a jiffy!”

1, EXTREMELY URGENT means there's no time to waste.

1. wrap blanket around shoulders for extra cape fashion. you'll still be fancy!

1

1! Urgent is urgent! No time to waste!

You need the traditional delivery uniform: A cap, and a purse worn on the side.

1
Explain to her that not only it’s too early for people to wake up and see you, you will both be flying! Who looks up often anyways?

2) You're a team, and there's always someone about even at night. It only takes one sighting to start a reputation.

1

1. The waistband of a pair of panties is just barely visible at the edge of the frame, so we’re properly decent! Even if we get flustered after we’ve left when we realize our panties are a little embarrassing.

1) If society thinks doing your job is less important than doing it fancily, then society is sick
Don't be sick

1, get a move on!

0, no clothes, they will only slow you down

>>1124836
It is a cute nightie

1.
Sooner you deliver, sooner you get paid, sooner you get snip proofs.

“Um… but… but…”

Autumn is clearly VERY nervous about me going out in just my nightie n’ panties. I mean, sure, the design on the butt might be embarrassing, but no one’s gonna see it unless they lift my nightie AND my tailfeathers and even in the big city that’s a big deal!

“C’mon, the more time we spend talking, the longer it’ll take! No one’s gonna see us! Grab on and let’s go go go go go!”

She FINALLY slips the letter into her inventory and grabs on to the scruff of my neck. I throw open the windows and off we go!

“So where are we headed?” I ask, gaining a bit of altitude (but not too much). “Les’ get it over with! This pre-dawn air is CHILLY! Whoo!”

“Um… the instructions said we have to pick up a package first as part of the delivery,” Autumn says. “It’s light, just a kilo or so. Um… it said we’re picking it up from Eve’s Essence… it’s a clothier on the other side of the City Park. And then we need to fly further over there… and then fly back here or somewhere to get clothes… or something…”

“What?!” I squawk. “Ah, shoot! I’m not dressed for this! And that’s so far away! Double shoot!”

“Um…. I can go down and pick up the package,” Autumn offers.

I gotta go FAST! But if I fly too high, I’ll be visible from further away… and worse, the City Guard might notice me if they’re looking inwards from the walls, but that’s not gonna happen, right?

What do I do?

1. Fly high. Risk of being spotted, but the sun isn’t up yet so I’ll be fine. Right?
2. Fly low. Slower and takes more effort, but I won’t be that slow since I just woke up. Right?

Fly high. No one ever looks up!

1. fly high!

1) got to commit. If Autumn goes ahead and ties a loop of twine or cord around the package, then you could swoop down and grab it without having to stop. or be seen by anyone

1. Flying up high also reduces the risk of anything snagging the nightie and tearing it! Not that it’d be that big of a risk anyway, cuz your early morning flying is SUPER GREAT! Still, better to be safe than to end up with your cute loungewear all torn and tattered.

>>1125333

Excellent point. Flying low opens the door to more shenanigans, which you'd rather avoid. Fly high, and avoid snags!

>>1125328
Cute!

Fly high, even if they do look up youd be so far away theyd just think you were a bird or something.

Hey, autumn.
If you do run into someone, dont worry!
You can fly between their eyeline and the most vulnerable embarrassing bits of your partner!
Your glow will hide the naughtiest buts. You can be a floating fairy modesty flash.

Fly low

hmmm 2. don't want to attract the city guard's attention.. who knows how they'll slow you down

Just zig zag until you crash into your adresse's window like the elderly owl of an impoverished wizard family.

We gotta go fast. Fast means less time for the sun to rise. Fast means we get our bonus. Fast means nobody sees us!

Autumn grabs the scruff of my neck and tucks herself in under the neckline of my nightie, and I tug it down in front to help hike it up in back. We fly!

Oh no

It’s COLD up here

Plucking my feathers to be a big-city bird feels like a BAD IDEA right now. But sacrifices have to be made in the name of fashion… just remember your roots, Apricot. Remember what it’s like to be warm, and push through it.

The warm glow of the fairy on my neck helps too. She’s so sweet.

We get most of the way to the stopover at Eve’s Essence before I catch a glint of something below us. At the guard tower, a bit of something reflective. Please, please please don’t be paying attention, not with a spyglass! Maybe we got lucky this time?

I’m shivering by the time we arrive at the stopover. We’ve got to pick up the actual package from the store, and it’s not there outside.

“The instructions say to tell the password after knocking to pick up the package,” Autumn says. “Such secrecy…”

Ugh! If I go down there I might get seen like this by anyone walking around this early… and I’d definitely get seen by the shopkeeper! But if Autumn goes down, she would have to carry the package up using her inventory magic, and she’s not very efficient at that kind of magic. If the package is too big and heavy she might lose her mana – and her dust with it.

What do I do?

1. Go down to pick up the package as a team
2. Send Autumn down herself and then she flies back up to the roof

Leave it to Autumn. She's not the only one who might be exposed out here!

>>1125797
A team!
Not many people around.
Autumn can use her glow to do the floating fairy censor bar maneuver.
Just hover between their line of sight and you most embarressing bits.

Go as a team. If anyone makes any comments just point out, they're paying for speed

2 for lewd bad decisions later. It’ll make the return trip more exciting if Autumn doesn’t have enough fairy dust to help us later when it is lighter out and more people are awake

Also if the gaurd spotted you, he could have saw where you landed and is coming to investigate, you gotta hide for now while Autumn does her thing

1) Ask for some rags on the way out.

Go as a team. It's not like you're naked anyway. You're covered in feathers!

be a team and play it cool. people are less likely to notice you if you look like youre supposed to be there

We both flutter down to the doorway and give the secret knock with the secret password: “Under the Veil.”

“So mysterious,” Autumn breathes.

No one answers.

“Grrr!” I huff and scratch on the door and give a knock. It hurts- my wing bones aren’t as sturdy as humans’ and this wood is thick. I scratch with both wing talons. “Ugh! Come on, Under the Veil!”

Boots behind me! I let out a squawk and cover myself with my wings. Autumn positions herself between me and the big, scary morning person- he’s a human I don’t recognize and is carrying a big rucksack. He does a double take and DEFINITELY notices me.

“This is normal!” I squawk. “No one has time to get dressed when there’s a speedy delivery!”

He makes a sound like a snort and keeps walking but there’s a spring in his step and I just KNOW he’s going to be telling people about how dumb I sound and look and UGHHHHH

FINALLY the door opens to reveal the stupidly late proprietor of Eve’s Essence. She blinks a few more times than necessary, we repeat the password and she hands over the delivery instructions to Autumn along with a rectangular, thin, light package. It feels insubstantial- and given where it’s from, I guess we’re delivering some kind of special garment.

“Ah,” she says, “Your outfit must be part of the special package, then.”

“YES!” I say. “Of course! Thank you, goodbye!”

The door closes and wait, but that means I can’t ask for any more clothes to cover myself UGH



Autumn opens the instructions.

“It’s to the Church of Censorship a minute or two away by flight,” Autumn whispers. “Or we could fly low… but we’d be close to the rooftops. And… wait, don’t the Church of Censorship hate lewd things? Apricot, you really don’t want to get spotted by any of them. Even if it’s the delivery target, they might punish you!”

“That’s not fair!” I whine.

The sun isn’t cresting the horizon yet, so I can make the delivery time, but how much time do I have left? And if I fly high, the guards might spot me (again)? And it is COLD up there and I am getting VERY uncomfortable.

This STINKS!

Do I:
1. Fly High
2. Fly Low

I have to fly to a specific window at the Church of Censorship! Should I try and borrow some clothes from clotheslines so I can be decent? But that’s stealing… and the guards won’t like that either!
1. Steal
2. Be Lewd

1, Have Autumn fly in front of your face too. If a guard decides to use a telescope or something to see you, they won't know it's you since her glow will cover your face.

2. No steal. the less censors that see you when you arrive by flying high, the better.

2 and 1, Fly Low and Steal. The Church of Censorship will NOT respond well to you showing up in a nightie, and you don't want organized religion on your ass.

2,2.

Fly high and be lewd.

I feel like the Censors would be begrudgingly understanding, id you explained the japery that led to your current state. That being said, flying high is clearly uncomfortable. Let’s fly low for a while, but no stealing! Lewdness might annoy the Censors, but stealing is worse! Just be careful not to flash that embarrassing print on your tush to anyone! Not that it might be an issue, realistically, but a good thing to look out for regardless! It’d be sooooooooo embarrassing and not fun for anyone to potentially draw! (Please pardon my nonsense, I just really wanna see it lol)

2,2 you aren't naked, the church has nothing to complain about.

2 & 2

Bruh, just wrap your blanket around your chest so they don't see your nippies. Use a bit of fairy magic to hold the blanket in place if you have to. It ain't rocket science heavenly wizardry.

Fly high and be "lewd", Miss Binary Choice.

2-2) When you get to the door ask for free clothes and claim the client specifically told you that 'wearing this is part of the package' which you really didn't want to do.

>>1127205
Autumn.
Autumn.
You have to step up.
Spread your wings wide, glow bright and lodge yourself in apricots cleavage.
With the wide wings, youll be her emergency bra!
