Pretty Pretty Princess: Redux

Who: Those Who Play Games
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 300

[ Today you step out of the elevators and into the game room to find yourselves in an airy Grand Ballroom. Maybe, if you've been here long enough--you might recognize this room?

At the front of the room is a buffet table featuring finger sandwiches, petit fours, and savory pastries as well as a variety of small desserts complemented by bottoms-up turned teacups and steaming hot kettles set up for self-serve. From nowhere to be seen comes the sound of instruments playing. Up above, tethered to the ceiling, are what appear to be long curtains. …

The small, square tables feature place cards that as of yet are mysteriously empty, but other than that--there is nothing on the table. Those who have walked in and might prefer to walk out again will find they are mysteriously barred from exiting…. ]

[.........]

Did... the items make you want to murder back then?
nihilmancy: (Wistful)

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2020-11-04 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Somewhat. They interacted with, um, certain instincts I had not gotten control of, at that time.
bondsofsuffering: ([Heh] misstep to fall)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-11-04 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahh...

So you had a better time this game?

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2020-11-04 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Much better, yes, and not bad overall.

But, ah... it appears that was not the case for everybody.
bondsofsuffering: ([Look] discovering that despair)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-11-05 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Casting glance around.]

Seems not... I wonder what happened? It seemed like a tame game to me.

For me it was mostly a lot of cuddling, though I will admit I could never completely relax, knowing the potential for disaster.

But there are a lot of items that could compel obedience, induce amorous affection, and the need for physical contact... I can see how problems may arise.
bondsofsuffering: ([Heh] misstep to fall)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-11-05 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
I guess I'm one of the luckier ones, since physical affection doesn't really bother me.

[Shamelessness wins!]

I just push past the embarrassment these days, and I'm better for it. Though it helped that it was people I already liked.
bondsofsuffering: ([Strain] we see everywhere)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-11-06 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad for that! These types of games are always better with good people.

[ She's not sure Sashay is good people, but they are loved people. ]

It's still infuriating being compelled to do things against our will, but I'll take the better result of that.
bondsofsuffering: ([Heh] misstep to fall)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-11-06 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I have an easier time with it if I just lean into it.
nihilmancy: (pic#13670911)

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2020-11-06 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
It's quite a confidence booster to be well-liked, too.
bondsofsuffering: ([Smile] so threatening)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-11-06 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Big sis Sekhmet is cute, so it's good you're getting the affection you deserve!
nihilmancy: (pic#13849578)

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2020-11-06 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
My power cannot long be denied.
bondsofsuffering: ([Excite] With foolishness that)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-11-07 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
All hail lady Sekhmet!

The ladykiller rides again.

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2020-11-07 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Hoho, but what about you? Any interesting kissing?
bondsofsuffering: ([Smile] in too deep)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-11-07 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[F....lushing a little.]

I had good tables.

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2020-11-08 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Heeeeeh. That's good.
bondsofsuffering: ([Sorry] the dead ends as)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-11-08 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Hopefully the others agree.

Anyway, on that note, I think I'll head back to the dorms.
