Chapter 210: First Bounty: The Vibrating Pervert
Chapter 210: First Bounty: The Vibrating Pervert
Bhan's magic or whatever it was, proved to be the most useful skill I had ever acquired. Once we were ready to get up out of our now very stick and cold mess, there was a working shower waiting for us in the corner of our blinds. I got up and then helped each of the girls up, and we all headed over to get washed up.
"Dave, this...magic? Whatever it is, I want it!" Grace said as she sprayed down her naked body.
"You can use it anytime, all you have to do is need something to make your life easier, like the food, blinds, and showers. All of these things have made our lives more convenient!"
"And you have the ability to fill MOST of us as well," Kierra said with a glare.
Oops, that was a mistake on my part, but I had thought that I would need to hold myself back to make it to all the girls. Mistakes were made over a case of misinformation, but I would make it back up to her. The other girls left the shower to grab warm towels from a rack; this was nice and all but what would happen to all this stuff when we left? Would it just disappear?
I left the thought alone, and focused back on Kierra who was still scowling at me, sheesh, you would have thought I ate her ice cream or something like that. I took the showerhead and moved behind Kierra, and started to wash her back. I grabbed the soap and scrubbed her down, then rinse suds off her, giving her bottom a squeeze when I was done.
Then I leaned in and whispered into her ear about spending some alone time tonight, and going on a date, or something like that. In response she grabbed my wrists and pulled my arms to wrap around her, pushing up her cute breasts. They weren't huge, but a handful of personality was more than enough, but I wouldn't say I didn't enjoy Grace's skull-cracking melons just as much!
I kissed Kierra's neck, and then she let go of my hands and turned to me, still in my arms. Our lips connected as she turned, and only Aquina and Latisha's complaining about us taking forever stopped us from getting R-rated again. I could wait and so could she, so we both got out of the shower and were greeted with the perpetually warm towels.
"So, I was thinking, the girls and I would go back to the hotel and get changed and meet you at the Shell Cop Station. Does that work? Then you can talk to Branson and have some man time," Grace said to me as I got dressed with Kierra, the rest of the girls were all fully clothed and ready to go.
"Sure, babe, just be careful, the four of you should be fine together, but just in case, I want to explain something to you about the System you all have. We have a new feature; along with Tenten and Ivan, we also have access to the Armory. You can activate it by thought or voice command, but it will give you access to any weapon or Item we have used."
"Do I count as a weapon?" Aquina asked with a funny look on her face.
That was a fair question, and I scrolled the weapons and items and found her, well the gun she was, along with Kierra, Sandra, and Delilah's weapons and armor. I would need to get them soon, plus there were three more, but now inside this place, I wasn't sure how I was going to find them.
"If you're asking if I can summon you, then no, just the weapon you could transform into. If I could summon you then I would have already got the other girls as well."
A rent in the fabric of reality tore open and I reached in and pulled out the pistol. The tear closed as my hand left it, and then disappeared like it was never there. I turned and handed the pistol to Aquina, but she put a hand up to push it back to me.
"Keep it, then you will be thinking about me if you have to merc some asshole!"
"You're such a weirdo, beautiful, but that part of the reason that I love you so much. Well, and there is that little but with you sq...OWW!"
My shin was on fire from a well-aimed kick, dammit, what the hell? Why didn't my magic thingers make me change? I wanted to test this, so I cracked the first band and asked Grace to punch me in the stomach and to my surprise, the woman didn't even hesitate. The shot was aimed at my solar plexus and there was no dodging it even if I wanted to, this woman was always ready to good full tilt at the drop of a hat.
The connection of her fist knocked every scrap of air from my lungs and dropped me like a sack of potatoes. Mind self consciously scolded me for automatically referring myself to potatoes, but the thought was lost on me as I gasped for breath. When I could finally draw breath in a somewhat regular pattern, I looked up to see Grace with a shit-eaters grin still holding her hand where it connected with me.
"Grace! What are you doing!" Kierra said rush to my side, but Aquina and Latisha joined Grace, one on each side with arms folded across their breasts.
I patted Kierra's hand and told her it was all right. She gave me a hand up, and I pulled myself upright, then to my feet. Well, the test was a success of sorts, but a bit disturbing. The girls could hurt me, and I had no defense from them, which wasn't a horrible thing unless someone turned out like Irellia, but I didn't think that was possible now that the girls were linked with me.
Still, the idea that the girls could tune me in whenever they wanted was more than a bit disturbing. This game had many inconsistencies, but then I really thought about it from the girl's point of view. What if they would have been stuck with someone that wasn't treating them right or abusing them? Should they not have some kind of advantage to protect themselves?
"Nice punch, babe, but next time hit my shoulder, or I will put you over" Fuck I was talking to the wrong person!
"If I was only so lucky," Grace said rolling her eyes.
That's right, I did let her suck me dry, but maybe I would need to take her on a date tomorrow. What a life; so what did you do today, Dave? Fought, fed, and fucked, my life be like...awesome! Okay, it was time to get this show on the road!
"Okay girls, I'll get the bounty, and then I will get mom to let you know where to go. It will be better than you all walking back here. Be safe, okay?"
They all nodded and we walked together through the park and then parted ways where we were back on the street. I retraced my steps back to the Shell Cop Station and then headed back into the building.
Inside there was another group waiting, and I was pointed to a new door that hadn't been there before. This was one of the strangest buildings I had been in for a while. The magical doors might be a cool idea, but it made me feel like I was losing my marbles every time I entered a room and found a new door.
When I walked through the new door, Branson was waiting on the other side, sitting behind a desk. The man wore a sly grin as he watched me enter the room, and I had a feeling he could guess how my picnic went. I rolled my eyes and Branson started to laugh.
"Those women sure know how to keep you busy! Where did they all go?"
"They wanted to go and get changed, so I said I would come and get our first bounty from you. I'm really not sure why they needed to change halfway through the day, but it is what it is, and I am not about to argue logic with women. That is a losing battle every time for a man. So, Chief, what's the plan? Who are we sniffing out today?"
"I can agree with you on that point, no reason to get yourself into more trouble. As for your first bounty, even though I know you all could handle more than this, It will be a good warm-up to get you guys used to the way things work here. Panis Theen, a local thief that does a good job of avoiding us, has been more active lately, breaking into people's houses, to steal strange and perverted items," Branson explained.
"Oh great, this one will go over great with the ladies. What is he stealing? Bras? Panties?"
"Vibrators."
"Huh? Really, that is pretty perverted, but why the hell would he want those?"
"That is the question we need to be answered, along with him found and brought in, alive. Make sure you stress this to the girls. I don't have control over the penal system, and the game tends to be harsh to those that don't follow the requests of the current bounty," Branson explained.
"What do you mean by current bounty?"
"Well this is some, read between the lines bullshit. If you see a crime in place, you are required to stop it and you will still get rewarded, but there are no specifications for how you deal with the perpetrator. Keep in mind that you need to use your discretion on how you deal with the person, and you can still get in trouble if you deal out capital punishment to someone like a basic thief. Here is a list of the last three places he hit, and the names of the victims."
