The Warped (2nd Party)

[[Sov]]

Septar was weary of the villagers as they were weary about them. She didn't trust anyone that wasn't within this group, and it was likely due to her own paranoia, but she was also certain that it was warranted worry. She thanked the elders when she heard that food would be to them in one hour, and she sat the box down on the table, before taking a seat at it to contemplate their day.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

The hour was quiet, eerily quiet. Despite being a village, you could hear the sound of the wind through the trees in the distance. You couldn't even hear so much as people walking through their huts or the village. When the food came, it wasn't extravagant, but it was hot food, and it was free, served by a three men who look like they work in a smithy or construction who couldn't be more than 20 or 25. The three bowed when they offered the food and strangely enough, stayed with them. The three men massaged Septar, Mortis, and Constance's backs. Unbeknownst to these women, this village survived on one thing, providing "escorts" to the area.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance eyed the men when they came in with the food. She took her chair with her closer to the food and got some. She was about to start eating when one of the men started massaging her back. She let out an "Eep!" not expecting the sudden hands on her back. "What're you-..." She stopped short, unable to deny the massaged felt nice to her stressed out body.

Mortis didn't really notice how odd the quiet was. She rather enjoyed it instead. When the food came, Mortis was rather happy to see a hot plate of food. She didn't care that it wasn't anything fancy, she was just glad to have it. "Thank yo--" She stopped short when one of the men began to massage her back. She stiffened at first, somewhat afraid of someone else touching her, but then relaxed, realizing what they were doing. "T-Thank you." She said, her face a little flushed.

[[Sov]]

Septar managed to dose on and off for the hour, just sitting at the table, leaning on the table with her elbows, and resting her chin in her hands the quiet was nothing to her but a lack of background noise. When the food was brought to their hut she ate it quietly and happily, up until one of the men started rubbing her back.

He wasn't exactly sure what to do about her wings either, and had a hard time reaching everywhere because of them. Septar was tense through most of it, and it took everything in her not to suck her wings into her body tightly to keep the man from touching her. She looked at Mortis and Constance to see that they were enjoying their massages, so she relaxed just a bit as well, and started to enjoy the shoulder rub letting out a soft groan.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

The men finished as the women finished their meals and carried each to the beds, laying them perpendicular, and started rubbing their feet. It was then that the men's faces could be seen clearly by the women. They were exceptionally handsome, even for modern standards. The elder walked in shortly after they started with the feet and smiled, "I hope our saviors are enjoying their escorts. They are the most demanded men from our village, and are our offering to you who are going to deliver us from this travesty of rule."

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance soon grew used to the massage, enough to be able to eat. It was another surprise to get carried to her bed suddenly and laid down. "I-I could have walked." she spoke. When the man started to rub her feet she was able to see his face, too. She couldn't help but think him handsome. Her eyes were averted to the elder when he walked in. "Escorts? I never expected this time to have have such...Things." she thought.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Mortis was a bit taken back by being carried when she finished, though she didn't say anything to retaliate as she figured that maybe it had something to do with being polite in their culture. She exhaled deeply when the man massaged her feet, enjoying it thouroughly. She found it hard to keep from grabbing the man's hands with her own feet as he worked, wiggling her fingerlike digits with enjoyment. The man was very handsome to her, though she thought nothing of it. She actaully wished she had her sketchbook from her own world because she found his face so aesthetically pleasing. That was, until the elder mentioned they were escorts. That would explain a lot... The chameleon thought, jerking her feet away and blushing madly. Though they had not really done anything of signifigance, she suddenly felt dirty.

[[Sov]]

Hearing the word escort bounce back and forth between her ears, she couldn't help but have her wings suck in tight to her body and up and around her head. "E-ess-cort?" she said quietly, her voice trembling just a bit now. Septar was a quiet and shy girl who didn't like being touched to begin with, so it was even more nerve wracking to her knowing that these men made a living touching other women, and hell, for all she knew possibly even other men! Her head swirled with questions, her breathing became erratic up until she felt too dizzy to cope and she passed out.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

The escort massaging Mortis' feet gave a hurt look, but quickly turned to panic not too much longer after that when Septar fainted, and quickly ran over to catch her so her head didn't hit the wall. The old man seemed a little offended himself, "Please do not treat them so brazenly. Like many others, these men are here to serve you in whatever manner you need. After all, they were your cooks tonight. If you need anything, they will be here, and I am next door. Good evening to you ladies." The elder left after smiling a bit. The night fell slowly, almost as if time stood still, and the howling of the wild could be heard in the distance.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance didn't really mind the men, she had gone to such places back home. When Septar started to freak out it got her attention. When she looked, she had passed out, only to have an one of the men come to her aid. When the elder spoke she looked at him as he left. "I'd really just love a nap..." she thought.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

"I'm sorry." Mortis protested when she saw the man's expression. Her apology was both to the elder and the man, though she wasn't sure how much good that would do. "Er, your meal was good." She was trying to think of ways to make him feel better, but she didn't really want him to do what escorts usually did.

[[Sov]]

Septar regained consciousness, her eyelids fluttering back open, but her eyes rolling back into her head a bit. She was exhausted, and the last bit of strain of the day was too much for her to deal with. She managed to force out a few strained words "I only need rest now..." she closed her eyes again and drifted in and out of consciousness for a bit longer.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

After confirming that Septar was okay, the two men tucked her in a more proper position and tucked her into the bed snugly. Afterward, the third one got up from his duty and joined the other two as they walked towards the entrance and stood inside of the door. "Please sleep tight, our mistresses. We will keep watch for you tonight. Please relax so that you may save us from this tyranny."

[Srgntcuddles]

A "Thank you" for the men remained inside of Constance. She didn't really feel like talking, or doing much of anything. So she just laid back and closed her eyes, awaiting for sleep to take her. She wished she would never wake up secretly, but at the same time she felt responsible to aide this world. Despite not being "on good terms" with this "prophecy" she still felt somewhat obligated.
