(Sorry, these posts are kind of lacking. Just not really much I can think of to do than progress the game.) "Be sure to. I'll be on her tail." Julia began to follow along, aiming to keep well enough out of sight.
Adam has strange dreams. The first is in ancient Egypt. Adam, or his ancestor, faces a woman with heterochromatic eyes. Spoiler: Egyptian Woman The girl, probably a dancer, priestess, or concubine based on her attire, wears a shining, golden eye of Horus on her forehead. The woman touches the headband, and the world becomes distorted. Shadows creep from the buildings surrounding them, lengthening until the pair are enshrouded in darkness. A Shadow Game. The vision ends. As for the second dream...He sees a legendary battle. One which has occurred thousands of times over countless millennia. A potent mage in black, renowned for his powers of sorcery is locked in desperate combat with a brilliant, blue dragon. ----- Adam wakes earlier than he would like, the fight quickly turning from dream to nightmare as the mage is pierced by the dragon's beams of solid light. There is sharp pain in his chest, but it fades.
Yumi doesn't hear the final two words, but she raises an eyebrow. "So...you do not like to wear revealing clothing because you become lustful? Oh, that is quite different from what I was thinking. Go change. I will return shortly." The professor is seated again by the time Felicia is ready. "I thought you were against skintight clothing?" She asks curiously. "It looks good. Very good. Tights might honestly enhance the look." Yumi nods. "I'll certainly give you these as well." She clears her throat. "This one can be for...your private use." She holds out a third, much skimpier outfit. "This one, you do not necessarily need to show me." Spoiler: Outfit 3 (the woman doesn't exist)
"J-Jesus!" Adam shouts and clutches his chest as he bolts up, a bead of sweat running down his brow. A sorcerer fighting a blue dragon. Where have I heard that one before. Note to self: Don't go near Huanani - for real, this time. Getting out of bed, he showers before checking his emails for directions on what he's supposed to be doing today.
[It's fine. I'm not giving you much to work with, but they are necessary. I don't want to skip over any potentially important decisions Julia might make, including whether to follow the girl alone or try taking Mia alongside.] Julia finds Diana easily. She walks down the stairs and out the building's main entrance. The professor follows. Spoiler: Stealth Roll 25=25 fail While the student may not know what Julia is up to, the young woman looks back and sees the the teacher behind her. Diana does not seem to alter her path, however, walking to the Silfer Red dorms with a sway in her step.
Julia seeing her remaining mostly undisturbed meant they likely had some kind of secret code or messaging system in place, if she had to guess. They'd avoid joining by direct contact obviously. It was too late to really keep quiet, so instead, Julia made the move to speed up and walk right ahead of her, as if she was there on just natural teacher buisness, aiming to avoid some of the pressure and tension.
"Huh?" Felicia froze as she heard Yumi's assumption, "W-wait, no, no, I don't become... lustful, it's just embarrassing is all!" She hurriedly tries to correct her professor, while her cheeks flush pink, almost as if they were glowing. But as Yumi left, probably to retrieve another outfit. Felicia hurriedly returns to the stall, changing back into her earlier dress. Do I... have to take off the underwear as well? She thinks to herself, No, no, I'm sure they'll let me keep them on... for sanitary purposes. She shakes her head, deciding to keep wearing the lingerie as she puts on the dress. She just keeps the pack they came in so that she could show the clerk. As she comes back out, seeing Yumi already waiting for her. "I'm... not against them, I mean... with my sizes, most clothes are a tight fit. It's just... wearing a bodysuit is a little..." The red-head mumbles, looking away in embarrassment. That was, until Yumi handed another outfit, "What's this?" Felicia examines it closely, seeing what could only be called a two-piece bikini, a cropped jacket, and some stockings. "Aren't these just... underwear?" She asked, only for her entire face to go red as she realized Yumi considered this an outfit. "Aaaah, I-I can't wear something like that out in public!" Felicia said in an embarrassed tone.
He is pleasantly surprised to find a message stating that the students have the day to themselves. Something about giving everyone a chance to adjust to life on campus before classes begin the next day. There is also another message reporting that a couple students are missing. Their names and photographs are given. Spoiler: Dominic Benton Spoiler: Angelica Neumann
Spoiler: Reasoning Roll 44+10(Intelligence)=54 weak success Julia notices Diana's hip swaying become more pronounced as she nears the Red student housing. Rather than entering either building, the suspected student simply passes the women's dorm, continuing forward to the edge of the campus. The girl's gait changes back to normal after leaving the dorms behind.
Seeming to have reduced Diana's alarm a little bit, Julia made a pivot to go back to trying to tail her, knowing that if this didn't work, her next tactics might have to be....more direct. But that could still present a problem to do it that way if she couldn't get by subtly.
"Hmhm~" Yumi giggles. "I said it's for private use. Not really meant for wearing in public most of the time. Please, just try it on. Like I said, you don't need to show me. Just, do it for yourself, alright? It's the last one I would like you to see." She thinks for a second. "I'll let you pick out something--anything as long as it might fit--and wear it for you. Does this sound fair?"
"R-right... even then, I doubt I'll be using it as sleepwear." Felicia mumbles, but as Yumi suggests letting her pick out an outfit as well. "No! I mean, just coming with me to shop for clothes... even paying for a new deck. That's already more than fair." The red-head replied, "Uhm... if putting on clothes you choose is enough to repay that, then I... don't mind." She added, trying to show her gratitude for her professor's help, and attempt to comfort her.
Spoiler: Stealth Roll 96=96 strong success Julia manages to hide behind a pair of trees, staying out of sight until the probable cultist is a reasonable distance ahead again. Diana walks and walks, traversing a handful of blocks after leaving the school. Julia blends in with the people on the street, keeping her well hidden from her quarry. Then, after another five blocks' journey, Julia sees the mansion from her vision in the distance.
(I'm assuming I'm on the same day as arachna's character. Will retcon if wrong.) After ogling the photo of the girl for a bit, Adam has a brainwave. Probably just a couple out enjoying their day off by locking themselves in a room and banging each other's brain out, but what if it isn't? Suspicious, he picks up the ohone to text Julia. @Arachna Hey. Had a bad dream last night. I hear some students have gone walkabout - think it's something I'd be interested in looking up? He keeps the message fairly cryptic, but with all he's shared with Julia, he's confident she'll get the implications.
"I don't want you to feel...coerced into wearing these. If you are unwilling to try them, that's okay." Yumi places a comforting hand on Felicia's shoulder. "More than okay, but I encourage you to give them a chance." Her hand falls away from the redhead. "And I want you to pick something for me to try too. This hasn't been easy for you. I can tell by all the blushing. I want to give you the opportunity to...embarrass me as well. It is only fair."
It's hard being this good. She really was feeling very satisfied with herself. Seemed like any speculation she did was ultimately destined to come true. Was it some kind of gift? While seriously starting to question if she may have some kind of special power, she almost let out a laugh that blew her entire cover, at seeing him immediately text. There really was no escaping him. Tell me about it in person. Matter of fact, I think you would be. Just as well, I know where they're hiding. I might need some help with this. Meet up near the Silfer Red Dorms so we can plan this out. Thinking more on it, she began to send another text to Yumi. It's scary that I'm this right. I know where they're hiding out. If you have Felicia's contact info, maybe you'll want to let her know. It's better I have her where I can see her so she doesn't do anything too stupid. With that also in mind, she sent another message this time to Michio along the same lines, aiming to keep up her end of the deal that she would keep her informed as long as she didn't do anything reckless.
Yumi promptly responds. We are at a clothing store. Almost finished here. I will tell her. She may want to accompany you. Also, try not to tease Mia so much. She is quite shy and unused to sensuality. Michio's text is less eloquent. Where u at? I want 2 b there 4 it.
"A-alright. I'll... give them a chance." Felicia replied, thinking how the second outfit might be more her style... as long as she wore some pantyhose with it to at least cover up her legs, and a bit of her ass. But as Yumi seemed intent on making her pick something out, "Okay, I'll go have a look." The red-head mumbles, walking around the aisles of clothes to look for something "embarrassing" for her professor. Sadly that was a double-edged sword, as Felicia herself got flustered as she saw all sorts of revealing outfits she'd never even thought of. After a few minutes, Felicia returns to the dressing room where Yumi was waiting. Her face still red, "I-uh, found two... I think." She said as she hands over the garments. The first one was basically Yumi's bodysuit, only with a more transparent fabric. While the second one was a blouse, or at least it looked like one. Spoiler: 1st Spoiler: 2nd
Oh, no. I'm in trouble. Yumi would note that nothing about Julia's response was actually a promise to stop. By the Silfer Red dorms. This could be really dangerous. Take what you might need. This was breaking so many kind of safety procedures. Really. She knew the police. She could call them. She could say that it was for reasons more complicated than that. But the truth is....this was fun for her.
Should have known you were wrapped up in this. Adam laughs to himself. @AnonYMooseBoG He heads to the Slifer dorm to meet his mentor.
