"Don't mention it, Ojou-chan. Do tell me if there's a spot you want me to focus on." Suzuki replied in a cheerful tone. "As for the blindfold, it's for a special massage. You know how when you cut off one of your senses, the others grow a bit stronger? It's like that, we take away your sight temporarily, so that you can feel the massage much more clearly. That way, you can tell me where you're most sore." Mori then gave another bullshit reason, as his hands start to move upward, to her asscheeks, then her hips.
An athlete back in school, Ben's musculature and strength allow him to shift the sphere without many problems, allowing Kelly to focus on the light, quickly identifying the place it points to. Before she can, though, Bast beats her to it. "Carthage." The dark skinned woman reveals herself to have entered the room when no one was looking. "The ruins of ancient Carthage, in the old city of Tunis." She raises a hand to her chin in thought. "Interesting, I remember that Max was always interested in Carthage. This find must have pleased him. Though," she gestures to the shell casings, "maybe he never got the chance to see it."
Luckily, the maid has bigger things on her mind, and doesn't notice the thief only inches away from her. Spoiler: Dex Roll D100: 76+20 (Dex Skill)=96 (Crit) Not only does Katherine make it up, but she surprises even herself with a graceful display of acrobatics, leaping from perch to perch to get to the roof in mere seconds. From there, getting inside is child's play. She finds herself in the attic, a large storage area filled with antiques, and luckily finds it empty.
Spoiler: Dex Roll D100: 70+20 (Athleticism) Luckily, Melinda's throw was good, and the rope is wrapped tightly against the rafter. Using her upper body stength, she's easily able to pull herself up to the second floor. "All good?" Melinda shouts from below. "Alright, I'm going to- what's that? EEP!" She squeals, and looking back, Miriam can't see her.
Her ability to move was something else, as she made her way to the top, half wishing she could film her work in her action, but it didn't seem like the time to try setting a camera up. Making her inside, she now had her way in. Part of the way there. It did leave the problem, that this wasn't the exact route she wanted to take, so she'd have to be cautious about making it out into the halls. Hopefully, her plan to thin out the staff prior would have kicked in, as she went down to make her way to the control panel room again.
"O-Oh... Right..." She moans again, trying to hold it in, but unable to. Spoiler: Deception Roll D100: 80+10 (Silver Tongue)=90 Bad as his excuse is, Helga buys it. Maybe she has too much faith in people, maybe she doesn't want to believe that 'Suzuki' isn't who he said he is after she befriended him, or maybe the pleasure is addling her mind, but she believes him. "T-Thanks, Suzuki-san... Ooh... Wherever you think I need help..." She moans again.
Miriam's first instinct was to climb back down and see what had happened, but she managed to stop herself – rushing back down would only put her in danger. Instead she remained where she was as she looked down and listened carefully for any sounds. “Everything alright?” She called after a few seconds as she kept listening and waiting.
With their next destination clear, Kelly felt a rush of hope which quickly turned to fear and anger at Bast's comment. "Max wasn't here when these shots were fired." Kelly stated, perhaps more to convince herself than anything. She fixed Bast with a look that told the other woman there would be no arguing. "And thoughts like that will not be entertained." Although Max's journal stopped after Istanbul... 'NO!' she thought to herself. 'Max is ALIVE!' With an upset huff, Kelly turned and moved to leave the chamber. Carthage would be their next destination.
Luckily, with the gala taking place in the great hall downstairs, there's little security or staff presence up here, especially with the staff numbers thinned. Easily unlocking the door, she finds the guard snoozing in a chair, the control panel next to him.
Dylan looks down at her, looming over her as he starts to work at getting her top off to free those massive breasts. "And yet you seem quite eager to obey," he taunts.
"Ojou-chan, you're very welcome." And I should thank you for being so guillible. Mori said in an thankful tone, before thinking to himself. But, as Helga didn't give an answer, he pinches her asscheek. "Now, now. You need to be honest, Ojou-chan. How am I suppose to help you properly if you don't say anything?" He said, scolding her this time. "Come on, tell me. Are you lets sore?" He asked, once again groping her thigh, his fingers rubbing against her pussy. "Or is it your hips? Your shoulders? Your neck? Be honest, Ojou-chan. Don't worry, I will do my best to help you." He asked once more, moving to grope her hips, her shoulders, and neck. Spreading the aphrodisiac all over her body.
Seeing the guard asleep, she had to stop herself. Her movements needed to be very careful. One wrong move, could end badly and she didn't think to bring enough rope along for this exact situation. But he looked to be relaxing pretty well on the job. As long as she didn't make too much action, it should be simple. Opening the control panel and flipping a few switches, didn't make too much noise. But....she didn't want to take any sudden chances either, slowly approaching until her hand neared his waist, looking to slip out his gun. She didn't really want to use it, but better for her to have it, then find one against her back later or not need it. If she could manage getting it out, it was probably safe to assume, he was out enough that she could just work on the controls uninterrupted and carry on.
There's just silence for a few moments, before Miriam sees her boss walk into the flashlight beam. "Sorry, darling. Just a rat. A filthy little rat." She smiles confidently. "Help me up, if you would." She begins to clamber up the rope. Spoiler: Awareness Roll D100: 42+10 (Perception)=52 (Minor Success) There's something...off...about Melinda's demeanor. But then again, maybe it's nothing - just a reaction to being scared by the rat?
"Whatever." Bast shrugs. "Didn't seem so loyal five minutes ago..." She chuckles. Outside, Kelly sees the guard grinning at her, before they step out onto the streets of Istanbul. "I'll book some tickets to go to Tunis?" Ben asks, trying to be helpful.
Her body is every bit as delectable as her sexy outfit had suggested. "I-I don't know...why I'm doing this..." She moans.
Helga continues to writhe, the wet spot on her panties growing larger and darker. "I-I... Ooh... Suzuki-san... Your fingers... They're on my... My private place..." There's a rattling noise, as Laura begins to scrape her handcuffs against the pole to get Helga's attention. "W-What's that?" The blonde moans.
Luckily, the man is sleeping deeply, letting her pull a loaded handgun out of its holster. Spoiler: Electronics Roll D100: 52+20 (Electronics Skill)=72 Moving her attention to the panel, she curses as she nearly trips an automated failsafe alarm, but at the last minute, she's able to salvage the situation, getting access without detection.
"Ah, sorry Ojou-chan. But I need to make sure you're not sore anywhere. And you won't tell me where I should massage you, so." Mori said, as he starts using his skillful fingers, teasing the blond's pussy, and rubbing the aphrodisiac on it through her panties. "Never mind that for now, please, Ojou-chan. Tell me where you'd like me to massage you. Be honest." Mori said, his tone becoming more, and more dominant.
Kelly missed Bast's comment as she was out of earshot. Once outside, she nodded at Ben's offer, but couldn't quite bring herself to muster a smile. "Yes." she said already anxious to be on the move. "Thank you Ben."
'Darling'? She's never called me 'darling' before. And the way she acts... Miriam kept the thought to herself for now. “Sure, climb up and I'll give you a hand.” She smiled at her 'boss', pretending to have not noticed anything odd, and waited for 'Melinda' to get closer. For a few moments she considered confronting the climbing woman about the way she was acting, but ultimately decided to continue playing dumb and instead surprise her when both were on the second floor. Instead she looked around to see where she was and if there was anything that could be used as an improvised weapon, if necessary. She also tried to make sure that 'Melinda' would not be able to suddenly pull her down and make her fall to the first floor, in case her 'boss' decided to attack first. (Night!)
