"Truly? I mean, of course, madame." Lawrence says, surprised at her change of course from staying out of the limelight these past few weeks. "There's a charity gala tomorrow evening, I believe, to raise money for those left homeless in a number of superpowered clashes of late. Though depending on your preferences, we could also host a press conference, or something of that nature."
"Heh, you can bet that next time, I'll have my cock in your mouth - but for now I need to actually show up for my shift if I don't want to get fired. I can only buy my colleague's loyalty with your body for so long." Erik smirks, before looking more serious. "I'll make sure they don't get in over their heads, don't worry." Completely exhausted, sleep comes quickly to the well used superhero, and she sleeps well into the afternoon. Her eyes flutter open as she hears the door bell ringing, and she gets up, her eyes adjusting to the midday light. Heading to the door and checking the camera she has installed there, she sees her dear friend, Mayor Kizuhara, standing on the other side.
"Yes, truly. I fear that if I stay in hiding, the board members will see that as a sign of fear, and try to oust me from my position." Vanessa replied with a satisfied sigh as she finishes her meal. "Mmh. Delicious as always, Lawrence." She giggled, as her trusty butler shares the events happening soon. "No, I'll go to the charity gala. That's a bit more appropriate for our current situation, and hopefully saves me from giving a speech." The heiress mumbled, "So, with my plans for tomorrow set. Tell me, how's your new student doing?" Vanessa then changes the subject, asking curiously as to how Jacob is faring with his new tasks.
As she grabs her purse, she turns to see that Belle's similarly attired, and ready to head out. Spoiler: Belle's outfit Together, the married women get into a Uber, this one driven by a less lustful driver, and they're driven across the city. An array of bright neon signs alerts Jenny to the fact that they're heading to the red light district, not far from the club where her adultery began, but as the car parks and the two of them get out, Jenny notes that this area is seedier than the one around Loretta's. Grafitti covers the nearby walls, and the streets are darkened by the lack of several working streetlights. "The place I'm taking you is rough around the edges, but I've heard some great things about it." Belle chirps. Spoiler: Awareness Roll D100: 76-10 (Dark) As Belle takes her hand and happily leads her down the street, Jenny becomes cognizant of footsteps behind them, walking in their direction and matching their own footfalls.
Considering the speed it would be difficult to catch up to the car, and trying to stop it with an attack from a long distance was too luck-based – if she missed Chen would likely get away. Thus Azura chose a different approach – using a portal. Azura focused as she tried to open a portal a little in front of Chen's car. But this portal was not meant for her – if she were to appear in front of a speeding car she would likely get run over before she could stop it, and if she were to appear behind the car she would have moments to disable it before it got away. No, this portal led directly to the wall of a nearby building, meaning that if Chen were to drive through it he would crash into a building; if he were to try and avoid it he would likely crash into something else. And if the portal was not wide enough for the car to fit through... well, that would be an interesting experiment. As Azura focused her power a wide portal appeared in front of Chen's speeding car...
At the sight of her friend, Faye bit her lip as she felt heat spreading through her loins. "Come in. I will be there in a moment." She pushed the button unlocking the door, and not even looking at the screen, Faye made her way to take a quick shower. As she was done, she quickly put on a pair of lace stockings, a garter belt, high heels and a short sexy wrap dress with a big cleavage - she did not even bother with underwear - it did not cross her mind to wear it. Prepared she made her way to meet the mayor.
Jenny knew better than to assume she could handle any potential street threat just because she was a superhero. Indeed she'd almost been defeated by two thugs with magic rings just last night. But she also didn't want to spook Belle unnecessarily. As such she used her telepathy to look into the mind of the footsteps behind them to discern their intentions while keeping in step with Belle as they made their way towards their destination.
"Blood, huh?" Sonata finally starts putting the pieces together. Paleness, red eyes, the way she was going for my neck...she really is a vampire. Does that mean the big guy I jumped was one too? No, he's a werewolf. Explains why he didn't feel...dead. Tatiana's tongue recaptures his attention before he can ponder further. "Mmn~" He groans as she passes over his frenulum. "Just don't bite too hard down there." He manages to smirk before the combination of her tongue swirling around his tip and the suction she creates elicit more moans from the aspiring hero.
"Indeed. That Vincent might be your main rival," Lawrence sneers in disgust, "but he's not the only one." He smiles at the praise, before giving her an even look. "Jacob...Jacob is surprisingly proficient at some of the things I'm teaching him, and his enthusiasm can't be denied. He's arrogant, though, and overly eager to get into the action." Spoiler: Magic Roll D100: 67 Chen: 22 Already speeding quite heavily, Chen doesn't register the portal's presence until after he's already driven through it. The bonnet and engine block crumple inwards as they collide with cold concrete. Chen manages to avoid smashing through the window, but as Azura draws close enough to see the man, she spots a red trail leading down from a cut on his forehead, courtesy of a conflict with the dashboard. He opens the car door, stumbling out and nearly falling, as Fist lands beside him. Spoiler: Stealth Roll D100: Chen: 103-10 (Injured) (Crit) Fist: 2 (Crit Fail) The young and inexperienced heroine seems to assume that Chen's finished, an impression he aids her in attaining by emphasising the severity of his injuries. She outstretches her hand, moving gently, so she doesn't injure him further as she apprehends him, and that's when he strikes. Azura sees something shine in his hand, and then he's jabbing a needle into Fist's neck. The heroine swats away the hypodermic, but too late, and she falls to her knees, giving a cry of pain, as Chen turns and begins to run once more. Heading to her living room, Faye sees the mayor on the couch, clad in an elegant dress. The woman stands and gives Faye a brilliant smile. "Hey!" She says happily, reaching out to hug her friend, their voluptuous bodies pressing together for a moment, before Kizuhara releases the blonde. "It's good to see you again. Sadly, I'm not here for a social call. I need your help. More specifically... I need Amethyst Heart's help." Spoiler: Psychic Roll D100: 61+10 Closing her eyes and reaching out with her mind, Jenny isolates the presences of three men behind her. Initially, she feels greed and excitement, as they plan a mugging, but as the two women pass under a streetlight and become more clearly visible, she feels the lust bubbling up within them, as they abandon their plans for a robbery and draw closer. At the same time, Jenny feels a psychic presence, much stronger...somewhere. It's too indistinct, and her powers not working well enough right now, for her to figure out who or where it is, just that it's in the same vague area. "This isn't generally the area I bite." She giggles, red eyes staring up into his as she pulls away from his length, before her tongue returns, lashes around his manhood, dipping beneath his foreskin, eager to explore every part of his cock. Then, she lets her tongue travel downwards. Sonata feels her mouth close in around his sack, the mysterious woman sucking hard, as she lets her tongue caress his sensitive orbs.
"Haahn, arrogant, huh?" Vanessa smirks, "I'm sure you're already concocting several different ways to beat that out of him. Hopefully figuratively rather than literally." She giggles, "Haahn, right, do I have anything going on for the day?" She asked as she cleanses her palate with some morning tea.
When she sensed that the goons behind them abandoned their plans of a mugging, Jenny's guard dropped a little; without a violent intent Jenny was content to let the men dictate their own actions. If they chose to accost the women she and Belle could tell them to get lost, and if they pressed further Jenny was confident in her ability to handle an altercation. The other psychic presence did concern her though and Jenny found herself more alert as she and Belle continued to their destination.
"Generally? So you have done it before." Sonata amusedly smiles, returning her gaze. His pole throbs under Tatiana's expeditionary licks, and the vocal young man continues to quietly gasp and moan at her ministrations. The black-haired boy is grateful for the transition away from his glans, having felt his plateau gradually approaching as the vampire doggedly lingered around the tip. Sonata immediately regrets dropping his guard. "Ffuck~" He almost squeaks as Tatiana forcefully draws his hairless scrotum into her mouth. His legs tense up a little from the initial surprise before the wondrous feeling entices him to relax again.
Faye's body shivered with delight as her body pressed against voluptuous woman. Then she frowned. How did she know about Amethyst Heart. She knew at least about their connection.... but was there more to it? How much she did know - Faye tried to remember. She dragged the woman inside and sat her down. Then she filled to glasses with wine. "First, explain to me the situation." She said as she sat down, crossing her legs and - for a moment - flashing her naked pussy.
“Dammit!” Azura cursed as she witnessed the scene. Concentrating she cast Scatter Bolt, sending two dozen magic missiles after Chen, hoping that at least a couple would hit him and knock him out, then rushed to check her companion's condition. I hope it is just a drug to knock her out and nothing more serious than that...
"We'll see." Lawrence says ominously, though not without a hint of a smirk. "Indeed you do, I'm afraid - your itinerary is rather packed, I would say. Firstly, the manager of the orphanage your mother patronised requested a meeting. One of the researchers at Mentek also requested a meeting on the premises this evening. Lastly, there appears to be a new villain, calling out heroes by name and challenging them to battle, using hostages as leverage. I'm afraid the Rabid Lady is the latest name on his list." The old man sighs. For now, the men hang back, realising that the women are headed to a nearby club and intending to make their move on them there. The psychic presence fades slightly, though it remains out there somewhere, just on the edge of her mind. The club is...less impressive than Loretta's, but the place is absolutely packed with people, swaying and dancing to the music coming from the stage, where a rapper stands, performing. The beat from the sound system pulses and shakes the room, and the handsome young man's lyrics are coarse and unrestrained, bragging about wealth and in graphic detail, sexual prowess. A few weeks ago, the conservative heroine probably would have found the words to be in poor taste, but as she stands, entranced by the vibes and atmosphere of the club, the blonde can see a certain appeal, especially as Belle grips her from behind and the two begin to dance together, bodies pressing rhythmically against one another. "Don't worry, my sweet, I have better uses for this part of your anatomy." She giggles, before focusing back on his sack, her tongue and cheeks eking every little scrap of pleasure out of him, before licking her way back up his shaft. One more, Sonata feels the warmth of her mouth surround his cock, but this time she moves her head forward, and he feels the delicate nerves along his rod massaged and stimulated by the muscles of her throat, her fingers digging slightly into the flesh of his thighs through his costume, as she deep throats the amateur hero. Finally, Sonata feels his manhood begin to twitch, and she pulls away, a trail of saliva still connecting her mouth to his member. "...That said, darling..." A smile breaks out on her ruby lips, her voice not at all strained from the multiple minute deprivation of oxygen. "...I'd suggest you give me something to drink, before I lose control and drink something else entirely." She smiles at him, her words seeming to confirm his earlier suspicion. Kizuhara licks her lips, but retains her professionalism for now. Faye tries to sort out internally what she remembers and how, but her concentration is broken as the woman begins to speak. "It's a long story, I'm afraid, but to give you the cliff notes, I have a costumed villain threatening to poison the city's water supply. This villain has a partner, however, a former associate of mine, who knows certain...sensitive facts. If I go to a normal hero or to my bumbling police force, he might uncover something which I'd prefer remained buried." She sighs. "So really, now that I think about it, I need Heart's help, and yours. I need her to deal with the villain, and you to recover evidence of my secret." Kizuhara fixes Faye with a look that instills in the blonde just how much faith and trust she's putting in her friend. "I know it's a lot to ask, but can I count on the two of you?" Spoiler: Combat Roll D100: Azura: 26+10 Chen: 90-20 Rushing to her new ally, Azura can see Fist lying on the ground, twitching slightly, as her magical bolts soar through the air, Chen managing to feel the heat before they get close and duck underneath, before rushing out of the alley. As the magical girl reaches the female hero, Azura sees the woman's twitching isn't quite twitching - her muscles appear to be rippling and shifting beneath her skin. She writhes on the concrete, moaning in pain.
"Wow. All that in one day?" Vanessa giggles, "I suppose I chose the worst time to sleep in then." She added, smiling back at him. "So, what do we know about this villain?" The heiress asked, wondering what sort of enemy she'll be dealing with. After listening to Lawrence's information, she quickly cleans up, wearing her usual tight, green dress before heading to the orphanage first to see what the director wants. Mentek too, huh. I wonder if they found the engram's secret hiding place. She mumbled to herself.
Ah... so the mayor knew about her connection to Amethyst Heart... how? No, that was not important right now... right? "I can pass the information..." Faye hummed as she leaned back in her seat. "What exactly is that information, in what form... and what exactly do you require?" She asked as she took a sip from her glass.
"Not much. He calls himself the Scarlet Ranger. Silly name, if you ask me, but his powers are reportedly not insubstantial - he has the ability to materialise objects with his mind." Lawrence explains, promising to try and gather more info before it comes time for her battle. Vanessa's pleased to find the orphanage/school for boys that her mother patronised in good shape, the students appearing happy and healthy as she's led on a tour of the grounds. In the headmaster's office, later, she's surprised to see that the man is surprisingly young, a graduate of only a few years ago, she discovers, and has handsome, boyish features that remind her pleasantly of Jacob. "We're glad to see you've decided to follow in your mother's footsteps, Ms Fitzgerald. This place was important to her, and we do good work here." He smiles. "But, as I'm sure you're aware, we're coming up on the first graduation since your parents unfortunate, well, you know. I was wondering..." He narrows his eyes slightly. "...If you'll be keeping to your mother's tradition?"
"It's a recording. A recording of a conversation I was involved in." Kizuhara admits. "It should be kept on a flash drive or something of the sort, and there should only be one copy. I need you to get close enough to the man who has it, a city councilor, to find and recover it."
"Thank you, Lawrence, I'll see you later." Vanessa nods, as she drives off to the orphanage. Happy to see that everything seems to be in order. "Hmm, you're a bit young to be the director, no?" She asked in a curious tone as he gave her a tour of the place. The heiress was glad that no one's tried to cut the orphanage's funding. "Ah, sorry, I haven't quite gotten your name?" She asked, smiling as they enter his office. Vanessa listened intently as the director shared the good news, "Ah, yes, what bright students we have. I'm sure they'll be wonderful citizens of the city." She giggles, but as he mentioned a tradition, "Oh?" The heiress raised her eyebrow, Mom's tradition? She pondered, unable to recall her ever mentioning something about it. "What might that be?" Vanessa asked curiously.
