M Idoling Around [bit nsfw]

[Jack Pine]

Medusa Expanse - 011030:6 (Sirris II, Sanctuary System)
Obsidian City (Igneous Beach)

It was thankfully one of the few days that the NDC's Idol Command mostly had off. Even the idols needed days to rest. So there was no scheduled training or appearances, much less broadcast events. Not that many of them really took the day off completely.

Victoria Serande, idol handle 'Serenity', was laid out on the beach, arm over her face as she lay there, soaking in the sun. Yeah, as an Operator, she technically didn't need to sunbathe, but she enjoyed it for the situation of just listening in to what people were saying. Sure, Idol Command had people who's whole job was to do just that. Listen in and get a read of what people were talking about, especially about the idols themselves, but Victoria liked hearing it directly.

Linda Yorington, idol handle 'Diamondglen', however, was more busy acting like a little child as she ran around the sand and water, giggling and just making a massive fool of herself. Which simply got a small scowl out of Victoria who was listening to it. When she'd offered a beach day to several of the idols, and was turned down by most of them, she had expected even Linda would be worn out by the work, but if anything she seemed more invigorated by it all. Plus the beach.

Though, if anything, half her energy seemed to come from all the people staring at her body, clad in only a tiny bikini bottom. Victoria at least had the good sense to wear the top and bottom of a bikini. Even if it was barely there. Hey, she couldn't have too many tan lines while working, but she didn't want her bits to get burnt in the process, so she took measures!

As it was, the medical and piloting idol were present, the pilot, Nicole Baggins, handle 'Blazer', out in the water doing what she did, piloting a craft. In this case, a sail board, and operating it with a skill that spoke to why she ended up in the idol program instead of getting kicked out for her antics in the cockpits of various aerospace craft. 'Sister Purity', real name Sariel Cerulius, was busy with an actual physical book and sitting in a lounge chair. Vicky was pretty sure it was something the Sirrisian's wrote to judge by the font on it's cover that she saw before she'd settled on her own beach towel.

Two more had joined the small gathering, the more wild and feisty ‘Moehammer’ or actually named Marel Morningstar as she was. The other was a seemingly more normal blonde, their newest recruit by the handle of ‘Shieldmaiden Solara’, but her real name was Sonia Argentum. Marel wore a sling with a web of fishnet filling in between the two taunt straps that formed the swimsuit, where Sonia on the other hand was wearing a one-piece of a mesh like material. Both seemed content to take up a pair of beach towels over by Victoria, the pair oddly seeming chummy, if a bit out of place feeling with how they acted. Understandable given one of them was the fresh recruit, while the other was a known med head who needed daily injections.

“See, beats sunbathing on a tank, or on an open suit panel.”, Marel teasingly chided her companion Sonia as they came over. The chimera pilot acted as if such things were normal, and was quite known for doing exactly those, usually with nothing much else to cover herself. Sonia gave the woman a sideways look of almost mystified confusion, “What? Marel, no one else does that, much less go sunbathing in a C-thong and pasties. You realize you're kinda crazy right?” the blonde retorted in jest.

"Actually, as a Chimera, it's quite common for their pilots to do exactly that even in the middle of war zones with active fire flying overhead." Sariel remarked, never lifting her head from her book, having heard the talk going. "As for her choice of attire, that's normal for them as well. Their old pilot suits were basically a fishnet mesh with neural linkers syncing their body movements to the suit movements." She finished.

Victoria rolled her eyes underneath her arm. "Yeah, but the Geist removes the need for it. So Marel wearing it now is just habit. Including the fact that she wears it as 'casual' wear." She pointed out.

Nico was too busy bouncing off waves with her board and doing insane stunts in the process to be involved, and Linda was talking with one of her ooglers. What she was talking about was anyone's guess. But it was just one of those things that they accepted as her doing.

“Ugh, normal clothes are so stuffy and restricting, besides, I originally had short life expectancies. SO why not flaunt it all, maybe someone will enjoy what I got while it's still good.”, Marel said proudly, unbothered, other then the expectation for her to wear more. “I MEAN COME ON! The fucking Sykians wear strips of see through bed sheets, and no one complains when it’s them!”

“Yeah but they have the cultural excuse for it, same with the Onikari. I guess if you wanted less bitching, maybe you could always go buy some of those.” It was Sonia’s turn to giggle this time, enjoying the manic personality her companion had. Honestly she wanted to flaunt it some days too, but the habit of wearing more to protect the body was still stuck in her mind after being not only an ex-merc, but now a tank crewman commander. “At least I can do pinup shoots on my vehicle, instead of being the pinup painted on it.”

“Didn’t your crew actually do that though when you hired on?”, Marel shot back, earning a moment of silent ire from the blonde.

"Be glad that's all you have to worry about Sonia." Victoria remarked, snorting as she finally pulled her arm away from her face. "After all, your crew are showing their support with it." She said, shrugging. "My platoon took to doing pin-ups of me on their helmets."

"I'm medical corps, I don't have to worry about such things." Sariel said smugly, finally putting a bookmark into her book and setting it aside. "Besides, there are no laws against her choice of attire. Just personal dislike, such as your own." She further pointed out. "Linda goes with microkini's and skirts when she is out of uniform. Apparently she never much cared for a lot of clothing but wore it all because she had to for training." She said, glancing out to the foxmod in question who was now busy teasing someone else.

"She's worse than a social butterfly." Victoria complained, pushing herself to her elbows. "It's like she enjoys being eyeballed all the time. Even though her job is completely against it."

"I think that's why she enjoys it. She doesn't really fit the recon mold when off the clock. But her on-duty scores really nail home just how brutally effective her training was. Speaking of... Didn't you train under Sergeant Major Excalibre for Officer Training School, Sonia?" Sariel added.

Shaking her head briefly, Sonia clarified, “I got trained by Major Tazar, at least before he was transferred out to some colony in the rim. After that, all my training was tank operation related.” After she had, a small smug look of her own was turned to the Sykian. “Well at least not among the corpsman, but I hear you’re pretty popular among civilian medical staff. Aunt Araena mentioned most of the male workers in the hospital have you plastered to the insides of their lockers hehehe.”

Marel joined her in the giggle this time, finding that fact more then funny personally herself. “Maybe it’s the motherly figure that caregivers are drawn to.”, the Chimera pilot said between snickering.

"Well, to be fair, I'm fine with that fact. So long as it doesn't distract from their work, I have no problem with them doing so. It's their money and space they're doing it with." Sariel returned with an air of haughty approval.

Linda walked over. "I heard someone talkin' 'bout Fredrick, what'd he do this time?" She asked, a huge grin on her face as she looked between the four women.

"Just asking if the 2nd Lt. here trained under him or not. She evidently did not." Victoria explained, settling back onto her towel.

Linda chuckled. "I mean, he's a good guy. Did a damned good job keeping us alive in training. Though really, Sophia was the one who did the most work making his plans actually work. Best damned platoon leader I served under." The foxmod said, nodding.

"Yeah, and you were the ammo bitch weren't you?" Victoria shot back.

"Technically, but I was an autorifleman thank you very much."

"In recon?" Victoria replied utterly disgusted.

"Base of fire is still useful in recon when shit hits the fan." Linda replied nodding.

“Sophia?... She wouldn’t happen to have a nickname like Soapy or something, would she?” Sonia asked, remembering something about someone with a similar name recently. She wasn’t sure if it was the same person being mentioned, but they were both foxes. “My grandmother inlaw mentioned joining the crew of a foxmod named something like that.”

"No shit? Her old nickname was Soap. Ain't really heard what Sophia's been up to since I came outta cryo. Fredrick kind of gets a sad look on his face, and hell, Lyan, when she returns my messages, talks about how she's still a mess." Linda said, sighing. "She, well, she walled herself up during training. She took it all pretty hard." Linda muses, sighing.

But very soon she perked up again and grinned widely. "But enough of the sad mojo!" She stated, putting her hands on her hips and standing up straight. "I think it's time the four of you actually got wet and joined us in the water!" She said, gesturing to the ocean, completely unbothered by how much her large breasts swayed on her chest as she twisted.

Victoria rolled her eyes. "I'd rather tan than swim thank you very much." She replied.

Sariel smiled, but shook her head. "Sorry hun, but I, ironically, have a hard time swimming." She said. The doctor was amusingly enough, apparently as covered up as Sonia, with her one piece swimsuit, though it had a very showy look with the breast window that stretched down to below her navel, though she also had a gauzy shirt and skirt on. Her gaze turned to Nico who was starting to weave her way back to the beach itself.

“As long as you promise to knock me out with those knockers you call breasts. You sure you’re not just floating with those?” Marel renewed her giggling before scampering off in case the fox sought retribution against her for her teasing. “I’m sure it’s what attracts all the guys, and totally not your personality in comparison!”

“Well, apparently she’s captain of her own ship, running goods. Though a bit grumpy sometimes.” After Sonia had said this, a thought crossed her mind as talk of family jogged a question she had. “Oh, cousin, how’s your sis doing by the way? Is she still coping up in her lab as usual? Seems like from what I hear, Seraphina doesn’t come out much other then meetings, or Adria drags her to family stuff”, she inquired in relation to Sariel’s sister who they shared as they all shared a familia bond.

Linda grinned and chased after Marel. "Only if you promise to be a good little bitch and fondle them properly!" She called out as she ran, hands raised in a menacing manner as though she planned to attack Marel in the process.

Sariel shrugged. "Busy as usual. Hidden away in her lab doing her work. As usual." She replied. "She honestly needs to get out more. I haven't had as good a release of stress as with her in almost a year and a half now. My ears and fingers twitch every time I think about her." She stated wistfully, but sighed in the end. "But I get why she and I don't get to destress together much these days. She's focused on her work, and my plate's often busy enough as it is."

“Are you… Maybe looking for someone to help with that? Not that it’s any of my business, but the sigh makes it sound like someone might help?” Sonia asked after a moment as her brain put two and two together on what she meant. Things like that were new to her, as she and her twin hadn’t really ever been into that, and she had a girlfriend herself. That being said, being in their family tended to add some characters to her contact lists, though maybe not as much to Sariel’s own if her assumptions about the Sykian’s work life were even fractionally correct.

Victoria groaned. "Oh Ghost, if you two are going to talk about having sex, please not by me. I'm still dealing with the fallout of my security element slipping me a fucking hot program that nearly caused serious issues." She stated with significant exasperation in her voice.

Sariel chuckled, and looked over at Sonia. "While I appreciate the offer dear, I'm afraid you aren't quite my type. Plus, I'd have to teach you all the right places to touch."

Victoria stood up and spun upon the two. "I said not by me! Fuggit!" She stated, and stormed off after hauling up her beach towel to find someplace else. Victoria might not be afraid of being sexual, even having sex, but she was the sort to keep her own feelings and such about it to herself as much as possible.

Linda finally caught Marel and dragged the Chimera pilot into the surf, just as Nicole pulled up, collapsing the sail.

"Ooooh, dogpile!" The pilot crowed before jumping upon the pair causing Linda to giggle hysterically as the pilot started applying a tickling attack upon the pair.

“What?! Oh no no no! I have a girlfriend already. I meant possibly one of the other people I know, depending on who you’re looking for. I got a wolfmod cousin who does Q-IT stuff, a recently dragoned cousin who teaches history, my sister is also pretty open, and some friends from other military branches. I know a lot of people, and just.. Well.. figured I could help.” Sonia was slightly flushed as she nervously clarified, not expecting to be misunderstood like that. She kinda didn’t want to jump into anything without consulting her girlfriend, and while she was lesbian, she wasn’t sure she was ready for anyone else just yet.

Meanwhile was somewhere between laughing and sputtering water as Marel was attacked between the two other women. She was body to body, previously said knockers almost mugging her in the commotion, even as the air jock was unexpectedly fondling her in an attempt to tickle as far as she could tell.

Sariel smiled at Sonia. "It's fine. I'm not much for men. I am firmly a lover of women." She replied, patting her on the head.

Victoria continued walking off, her cheeks growing very red as she heard some of what was said by Sonia, her focus now firmly on getting away from the pair thus not paying attention as she walked, smacking firmly into a rather firm body.

Nicole of course, eased up as the sputter grew in frequency, letting the pair pull themselves out of the water. Nicole wore a full bikini suit in the same color of red as her hair, a great big smile on her face as she settled back.

Linda got off Marel, and smiled. "I swear, I keep debating if I should request a wardrobe change on duty to go for the Chimera look for a show or two. Really have fun with it."

Sonia wasn’t sure how she felt about being patted on the head like a child. “I mean.. Most of my list is women, and those I know to any sexual degree. I’m also lesbian if you hadn’t guessed? I know a nice woman who’d know her way around curves like yours.”

There was a surprised grunt as Victoria collided with a familiar face, he had just been turning around at the mention of Q-IT when he was walking by. Doing so only as Victoria suddenly appeared to walk into his chest, “Oh hey, it's you. Um, how are you?” Matt asked awkwardly at the unexpected reunion.

Meanwhile, as Marel caught her breath finally, “I mean, I would be down lending you mine. Bet you’d look good in my net-suit even, you always have had a banging figure. Its adjustable too, so fitting doesn’t matter mu-... OOO OOO OO, Viccy’s talking to some guy!” She had been almost lustfully agreeing with her fellow idol about the suit, before spying the scene further towards the back of the beach. Some might have questioned the validity of her being human, with how her attention was the easily torn and redirected by small things as might for a canine breed of genemod might.

Sariel smiled. "Yes dear, we could tell. You wear your sexuality like some fly a flag for parades." She gently pointed out. "And I know a few ladies who help me with my stress. You needn't worry. I just miss my sister's touch is all."

As for Victoria, she was busy rubbing her butt while sitting in the sand after her collision. Hearing the voice however, made her look up and blush even harder. "Uhh, hi. I'm, good. How you holding up after sitting through JAG's shit?" She asked, trying to not acknowledge the way her body reacted seeing him dressed for swimming on the beach. Because Ghost damn did he excite her.

Linda and Nicole however, looked over as Marel got distract, and laughed. "Damn, little miss 'keep it in the bedroom' actually looks like she's wanting to pounce the poor guy!" Linda pointed out, grinning as she saw the state Victoria was in.

Nicole however, grinned, and wrapped an arm around Marel. "Chimera netsuit you say? And on Linda? Tell me more."

Sonia blushed harder with that pointed out, not realizing she had that broadcasting habit, “Oh sorry… What’s it like, to… do that.. With a sister? I never thought of that with my twin before, even though I admit, I kinda always felt jealous she got the additional cup size.” It came out as a quiet yet nervous stammer of a rambling, her mind locked on now, ignoring the background commotion she could hear partially. “Do you maybe… Could you also give me some tips?”, she added.

Marel seemed confused on the other hand as the suggestive question was posed, her mind not clicking on the bait as teasing. “Hmm? You want to try one too? I have spares, we could try them on together and go out to let you two try them out and about.”, the Chimera pilot casually asked, as if the suggestion was normal or as appropriate as it could be. To her it sounded normal, but anyone else, they might think she was asking them both out.

“It wasn’t too bad, they let me off the hook pretty quickly. Though I was wondering after, if I’d end up ever seeing you again. Almost thought you’d avoid me if you saw me again a bit.”, Matt admitted awkwardly before offering her a helping hand to stand back up. Even at the back of his mind, couldn’t deny the memory of what they had done together, or how it brought a certain sensation when he saw her again. Thankfully the awkwardness he felt was enough to keep it from going further, saving him some outright embarrassment at least.

Nicole and Linda both laughed. "Sure, we'll make a night of it. But only if we agree to tease the hell out of anyone looking our way." Linda said, getting a snort out of Nicole.

"Nah, I don't play those games Linda, Marel. You know that. I may fly hot and bothered, but I don't go playing around with people for funsies." Nicole said, shaking her head at Linda's sad look. "I like keeping my biology how it should be."

"You say that after having requested a claw web from the BRRF to have 'fun' with." Linda pointed out, deadpan.

"SHUDDUP!"

Victoria smiled and tried to keep from jumping him as she was helped up. "It's fine. And it was never assured, owing my operation tempo and schedule." She said, reaching a hand up to brush her hair behind her ear. Then her blush deepened as she realized how little her outfit covered while she stood in front of him. And how excited she was with the small bits of fabric not hiding it at all.

Sariel rubbed Sonia's head. "Well dear, if you aren't interested in your family that way, it can be a very awkward experience, possibly even hurting your relationship with her." She replied. "In addition, the things I do to have sex with my sister won't be things your sister might like either." She continued. "But if you really want to find out, you should talk to her to see if she's interested in exploring in the first place."

“Well I mean she sleeps with her girlfriend’s sister, that sister’s boyfriend, our cousin, and her boyfriend… Yeah I think my sister has skipped every line but me… Um, but anyways, I meant tips in general as one more experienced lady lover to another?” Gods, she really just ranted about her twin’s sleeping habits, some of which she blamed on that weird demon lady who hangs out with the family. The poor girl really wasn’t sure how to handle this conversation, much less being touched by such a milf of an elf.

Marel on the other hand was ecstatic about the acceptance of her proposal, “Wait, no one said anything about biology changes. It’s just a suit, not the whole procedure or anything. Besides, it’s not funsies, it’s pleasure with friends at that point, which I have no qualms with if its the two of you… Huh, I just realized most of us are lesbians…”

Matt cheered up a bit, offering her a kind polite smile, happy to hear everything seemed well at least, owing to a lack of mentioning anything. “Well, how about we exchange comm codes? At least that way we can talk digitally at least. Though I hope you haven’t had any problems lately with people and shifty floppy disks. I’m always available if you need help again.”

Victoria giggled, wishing she didn't sound so damned childish doing so. "Sure, we can do that. At least now that the court martial's over. As for problems of that sort, no, I've been a lot more careful about it." she said, nodding firmly. Her eyes lit up momentarily as she sent a comm code request to his own, while also sending hers to him.

Nicole snorted. "I'm straight Marel. I just have fun teasing you lot." She said, actively avoiding the biology comment.

Linda however, had no such compunction to avoid it. "She means getting pregnant Marel. And I'm bi. I enjoy the whole field. As for Nicole's tastes, she likes very dubious situations. I think term I heard was 'bad end'?" She said, tapping her finger to her chin as she finished.

Sariel ahh'd as she listened to Sonia speak. "I see. Well, I can give you tips to enjoy your and your partner's pleasure. Check the arms first and foremost while you do foreplay. The more and further up the goosebumps, the better. mind, they won't be the same kind as when scared or such, but they'll be there." She explained. "And learn what your partner likes and dislikes. Some enjoy their body being ravaged sexually, feeling all that aggression and passion. Others like it slow and more gentle, like you're afraid to cause them to break if you apply just a touch too much pressure." She said, going into medical professional mode and kind of thusly having a monotonal voice as she speaks.

“Ah, that’s great to hear. I’d feel terrible if something happened to you”, the man said with a sigh of relief, before accepting the request and logging her code. Quickly snipping a pic with his eyes for the icon, and labeling the contact. “Are you hanging out here at the beach for a while by chance?”

“Oh, then maybe you can get some numbers from Sonia, she mentioned having a list of people. I don’t know much about guys myself, most of em tend to nope when they hear about the drugs.” Marel took the conversation in stride, not seeming hurt by the turn down, but idly putting an arm around Linda though. “Oh well, I guess it’s just us. I’m sure we can still have fun with only two”, she added in a way as an attempt to cheer things back up.

Sonia was frantically taking digital notes, even as outwardly she was trying not to melt. The clinical tone from a milf, somehow didn’t help curb the awkwardness it brought about from the topic. “Is that the difference between being a dom and a sub then?”

Sariel smiled. "No. That's an entirely different subject. Domination in the bedroom can be a very complicated topic. Typically, it's more about how much control you desire. The more you want over the play, the more dominant you are. The less control you want, instead wanting your partner to hold it, the more submissive you are." She explained.

"It can get messier with other kinks getting involved, since they can alter the kind of control or lack thereof you want. Some Dom's are very forceful and demand complete obedience from their partner, with little room for consideration of their partner's interests. Others are into the idea of asserting themselves by putting their partner down and making them feel lesser. But then there are those Dom's who get off on their subs offering them the power to control things and decide the flow of the play." Sariel continued, tapping the tips of her fingers as she went over a few of the more common types she could think off of the top of her head.

Nicole pouted. "Oh, so I'm now excluded from the party just because I prefer having men over women? I see how it is!" She huffed, crossing her arms in feigned indignation.

Linda just laughed, and winked at Marel. "I'm sure we can find a way to make it up to you. As for you Marel, I'm sure you can find someone who'll stick around with you, despite everything." She said, hugging Marel back.

Victoria though smiled, and nodded. "Yeah, it's my day off, so myself and a few of the other idols opted for a beach day. I just, needed to get away from two of them talking about sex like it's something that's fine to speak about in public without a care in the world." She said, trying not to sound upset about it.

Matt finally peaked over to see the others a bit of a ways off, “Yeah that can be awkwa-… Is that my cousin Sonia? You don’t mean her do you? Usually she runs out of the room at that kind of stuff.” Not sure if he should continue, just opted to offer her a hand in invitation instead, “Uh, sorry, I got off track. Can I help offer a distraction then, if you would like somewhere quieter then?”

On the other end of the sand, Marel looked legitimately confused, “What do you mean? I have all of you guys. Surely you’ll stick with me right, it is girls night afterall?”

And then there was Sonia, really trying to not be excited about everything she was learning. “Any sort of spot that might be sensitive to try, or some sort of service to try giving. I hear about everything from oral, anal, vaginal, or others. But nothing ever specific to try”, the girl asked, wondering what she could further gleam from this wise gay woman.

Sariel smiled. "Well, oral is usually mouth to genitals. So for you, it'd either having your partner eating you out, or you eating her out. Anal can mean the same, but typically it means inserting something into the anal cavity. With hetero and male homo couples, that is penis into hole, but with female homo couples, it will require the use of a dildo or strap-on to perform. Vaginal is similar, though male homo couples are unable to do this particular act owing to the lack of a vaginal cavity to act upon. Then you have outer activities such as the various 'job' options, such as tit, thigh, armpit, and so on. These acts are ones that do not involve a cavity or orifice to be entered." Sariel continued to explain, maintaining the clinical tone the entire time.

"It's important to keep a clean understanding of the pace your partner wishes when doing any of these. As it can entirely affect how much they do or don't enjoy the experience." She makes clear, actually pointing a finger at Sonia to emphasize it. "Suffice to say, a large amount of sex is experimentation. Finding the things you and your partner enjoy and learning what things are unengaging or even outright things you do not ever want to do." She said. "However, there is one kink that needs a major number of caveats to talk about. Consensual non-consent. There are two kinds of it, but they both boil down to the same thing. You both agree to an act that is forced upon one of the two of you in a fashion that does not account for the 'victims' interests. Rapeplay is one of the most common of these." She continued, now fully looking at Sonia to make clear just how serious this topic was. "However, be aware that some partners actually wish for this. It is a fetish. A fantasy. But it must remain that. There needs to be boundaries and agreements worked out by both parties for such things to avoid irreversible damage, because it can very easily turn from fantasy to reality if you are not careful."

Sariel sighed. "A good example of our number who might be in that category is Nicole. She's not stupid, she would take precautions, but she's the sort of woman who might let it go too far, and let a fantasy turn into a reality. Often with creatures of a very monstrous nature, and with the idea of being unable to resist. The term for that is often 'bad end'. But she has yet to fully delve into it primarily due to the existing security measures in place by the BRRF to protect Duskerian people from the most dangerous of such things."

Victoria smiled and took Matt's offered hand. "I'd appreciate that, and yes, Sonia is the one who initiated it." She said. "So, I hope you know a nice quiet spot for us to catch up and see where things go huh?" She finished, a hopeful tone to her voice as she spoke.

Linda chuckled. "Not what I meant. I meant having someone special who'll want to spend the rest of their life with you." She said, hugging Marel. "Someone who makes you happy to just be with on a level that being with us doesn't match." She continued, before grabbing Nicole by the bikini bottom strap and pulling her into the hug the pair were having. "Now get over here you and give Marel a happy memory!"

Nicole for her part, just laughed and hugged the two, while also giving their asses a grope and squeeze, figuring she might as well. She didn't get the same rise out of it, but seeing her co-workers happy helped make her happy. So she would humor them.

Sonia seemed to pale at the explanation of rape play, remembering a past memory of almost ending up in a situation, and not one involving a relationship but being caught off guard by the wrong person. “I don’t think you have to worry about that with me, I almost got the reality in the most unfun way. I have no interest in emulating it”, she said with a shiver. “To change topics, what about your kinks, or any in general? Would you suggest any to try for a light start to experimentation? Or any other tricks, like the right way to suck a nip, or twiddle a clit?”

Marel was still very confused, unsure still of what the other woman was talking about, though that was sidetracked briefly by a meep as her ass was grabbed. “For someone straight, you really know how to grab a girl’s ass”, she stated in idle jest. She still couldn’t get what Linda said off her mind though, “I must be missing brain cells from the drugs because I still don't get it still. You guys make me happy, is there some form of happiness greater then that? Won’t we always be friends?”

Score one for wartime programming, and an expendable existence in the wrong country. Linda likely had seen the same among genemods, but perhaps odd to see a normal human go through the same thing. After all, Chimera were made and enhanced to be suicide fighters, so they were never considered more the fire and forget munitions. It was no wonder one wouldn’t understand anything about relationships, much less thinking of longer term topics like they were now.

“Oh, there’s this great natural spring a bit uphill around here, and runs back into the ocean. We can pace the beach that way, and just follow the stream. It’s serene, relaxing, and it feels great just to sit and soak for a while there, perfect for stress and aches with someone close”, Matt replied, holding her hand gently, yet fondly.

Nicole smiled. "I just know how I'd like to be grabbed is all." she replied in relation to Marel’s point. "But let's stop thinking long term. Chimera netsuits, us walking the streets, see what we can get up to?" She asked, looking between the two.

Linda nodded. "Yes. Maybe you can find a guy you'd enjoy while we find whoever strikes our own fancies. Especially since we're not as picky!" She shot back.

Sariel nodded. "That's perfectly fine and understandable, but it's something to be aware of. Your partner might actually have the interest. As for experimentation, well, that's entirely up to you. There's no real thing I can say in terms of advice or suggestions to be sure of what you'd be interested in. I'd suggest just looking around on the net, hit a few nodes that are general storage sites with a variety of interests. There's several adult ones on the net after all." She said, giving a motherly smile to the young officer.

Victoria smiled widely and gestured for him to lead the way. "Let's not linger any longer than we need to. I'm not sure I want to stick around as these 'ladies' talk about things that should be kept private or at least discrete." She said, wanting to get away from the group if only so her and him talking about what happened wasn't so... 'public' to her. Just having others present made her uncomfortable about talking on the subject after all.

Matt without warning, would scoop the operator up, “Then let me get there post-haste. I never did get to apologize further, so let me at least help you take a load off.” With surprising strength, he carried her as he jogged them further down the beach towards where the stream would be.

Do I even want a man? A woman? What the hell is a fancy, and why am I not getting a deeper explanation. Something about it all, felt bad to Marel, almost to the point of a sadness that she couldn’t understand why she was feeling it. However, the woman kept smiling as usual, accepting she was not getting answers out of either of them at this point. “Yeah sure, hopefully we’ll have lots of fun. Maybe we can go to the underground club I keep hearing about?”

Maybe she should talk to the doc, Sonia seemed to be getting a lot better information from all the stuff she was asking her. But that would have to wait til later, when things were less busy and playful.

Meanwhile Sonia herself nodded away as she finished her notes, “Thank you so much for all of that, it really helps. I’m not sure what to ask left though… Maybe things like lingerie and toys, but that’s all I can think of.”

"Well, those last two categories you could probably ask other members of our family who take a much more active approach to such things than myself or my sister, or go to the stores that deal in those items and talk with the people there for help." Sariel said, smiling gently.

Linda grinned. "That's the plan Marel. And I've heard 'bout that club. Sounds like a great time. Would definitely be a change of pace from the usual places I go to. And doing it in Chimera netsuits would be hella fun, what with the lighting tricks they got down there. Ooooh, should we cover the bits or let them hang out?" Linda asked, putting a figner to her lip in a thoughtful manner.

Nicole rolled her eyes. "Knowing you, you'd go buck ass naked and have the time of your life jumping from one person to the next getting your rocks off. I swear, you're a nympho through and through." She stated.

Linda huffed. "Nuh-uh! I just have a higher sex drive than others. And a desire to be desired by others." She countered. "Hey Marel, do the suits work with things like bikini's over top without completely ruining the look of it?" She asked, curious.

“Oh, well normally you would wear them under, but I prefer over myself to let the net rub. Though I just do a C-thong and pasties myself normally. I prefer as little as possible when I can get away with it”, Marel answered honestly, letting her thoughts turn back to current matters. “Though I thought about trying something new I saw online. A tape, or bandage over the sex, and one of those LED plugs.”

Sonia seemed lost on what to ask now, or even what to change the topic to. “Hmm, well that’s everything. So what do we do now, as it seems everyone else is off doing their own thing”, the blonde asked as she looked around, her blush and panic having settled finally after all that. Things had kind of died down severely while she was being schooled, before noticing, even Victoria was being carried off. “Wow, Miss prude even got whisked off her feet and carried away.”

“......Wait…. That’s my cousin whisking her away! That bold dog!”

Linda nodded, listening to Marel explain the normal wearing of the netsuits. "Got it. And you should try it. I think you'd look good with it." She said, giving the Chimera pilot a thumbs up as she did.

Nicole rolled her eyes. "I'll go normal then, with suit over a bikini." She remarked, getting a tut from Linda. "Hey, I ain't like miss prude, I do enjoy showing off, I just don't wanna be picking up random men to do stupid shit with!"

Linda snorted. "We should probably get back to the towels though, before our feet turn into prunes." She said, looking down at them having stood on the edge of the surf this whole time.

Sariel smiled. "Well, I suppose that answers what she'll be doing for the afternoon. Hopefully she has her contraceptive unit on." the doctor remarked, smiling. "As for you dear, well, I suppose the real question is what you want to do. Me, I'm probably going to book passage on a Skylador flight and visit a friend of mine's brothel and enjoy myself. This whole talk got me realizing I need to find some me time."

As the trio reached the pair, Linda beamed. "Hey LT, you wanna join us for some fun this afternoon slash evening? Dress code is your choice, though the three of us are going netsuits."

Sonia turned to the three returning, “I promised the girlfriend I’d make dinner tonight. She’s pretty shy, otherwise I’d just bring her. Also you missed Miss prude being whisked away.”

Marel looked off to the direction in which Sonia pointed, squinting, “Yeah no, some wolf dude is running away with her in his arms. Lucky.. She doesn’t have to walk through all this sand. It’s all under my sling grating on my tits.” Even as the Chimera pilot said it, she was sliding the sling together to expose her breasts, before trying to wipe the sand that had collected on them, seemingly uncaring that she was flashing the group currently. Or worse as she tried to wipe it out of lower places.

The group was completely unbothered by the sight, used to it for various reasons. Nicole was a bit of an exhibitionist, Linda had no body shame, and Sariel was a doctor who regularly saw worse. So not one of them commented on it.

Linda pouted slightly but nodded. "That's fair. HAve fun with the GF, LT. We'd be hitting a pretty busy club as it is, so if she's shy, best not cause her a heart attack from the experience." She said, nodding. "As for Miss Prude, let's be honest, she's not against sex. Just public displays of it. Wonder how she came to be like that..."

Sariel smiled. "Operators define their personalities based on the material they adopt to build off of during their time in the server cloud. Simply put, she probably picked up a few media pieces that were much more conservative about public displays of affection than we have."

Linda shrugged. "Fair." She remarked.

Nicole whistled. "Damn, that's a hell of a hunk she snagged though. Look at them muscles. I'd almost want him to wolf out on me..."

"Nicole, you're drooling again."

"What? Shit!" Nicole quickly began to wrap at her mouth to clean up the drool.

Sonia’s cheeks flared anew as Marel began jiggling her bare chest around, before the blonde sighed at the talk of Victoria being carried off into the sunset. “Guess she’s into the knot, and nerdy vibes then”, the girl said under her breath, before replying louder. “That’s our cousin Matt, and he probably would if you asked him. He keeps a pretty open relationship style, and is a breeder, so pretty easy to get going.”

At this point, she wasn’t shy about it, after all he had just made a show of something like that. Besides, at least Miss prude wouldn’t have her prissy walk on the way back. “Maybe I should buy her a crutch, for after her date nights with him?”, she asked more to herself then anyone else.

“She seemed like she knew him pretty well when they were talking earlier. Is he her fancy like you were talking about earlier?” Marel asked after straightening her sling back into place, satisfied she had wiped away all the offending sand from her bits. “You said he’s your cousin? Does that make him a royal too?”

Nicole snapped her gaze to Sonia as she mentioned he was a breeder. "Wait, are we talking War or Peace model?" She asked, legitimately worried for Victoria now.

Linda reached over and smacked Nicole on the head. "I'm still not a fan of those terms for us ya know." She reminded the pilot.

"Right, right, sorry Linda. Just, they're the best ones I've heard census folks come up with for the difference." Nicole apologized.

"I know, but it still feels like I'm being singled out when I'm called a 'War' Genemod. I'm just a genemod, same as all the rest." Linda replied.

Sariel could have pointed out that no, Linda was not like the rest, hence the term used, because in many ways, Linda was so far above what standard norms for genemods were supposed to be that she could challenge an Onikari soldier one on one and have a 50/50 chance of winning, a chance genemods of the second generation couldn't match.

Linda sighed and looked back towards Sonia. "Might not be a bad idea. Knots are no joke if you aren't configured for 'em." She remarked, shrugging. turning her attention to Marel though, she smiled. "Probably. But owing they seemed to know each other, and I remember seeing him in the JAG office over the month that the Court Martial hearing was going on for one of Viccy's security detail, I think it's more he was involved in that whole mess than then getting together on a fancy with each other."

“Linda… he just princess carried her off into the woods after they sat there making googly eyes at one another. That is not an association by simple involvement, that’s a repeated struggle snuggle. He’s too damn shy with new people to be that bold.” Sonia declared this with a knowing certainty. “Also to answer your question Nicole, he’s a second gen. Parents were first gen, and breeders were still optimized, but not made for combat. They were kept in breeding chambers and forced to make kids, so he has problems with his sexual organs being really active and sensitive. So be nice to him if you’re going after it, he’s family and I don’t want to see him hurt, besides it will be funny as hell to watch you tease Miss prude about it later”, the blonde added with a pointed finger towards Linda.

“Wow, he must have some really strong undies…. I kinda want to pet him though, those ears were pretty fluffy”, Marel said idly after having listened to Sonia, before looking again to see if they were still within sight. They were gone now, but Sonia was instead giving her a weirdly confused look, as the blonde wondered where Chimera pilot’s brain went at times.

Marel turned back to see it, before just going “....What?"

Linda snorted. "I didn't say it wasn't a fancy, Just how they might have met is all." She pointed out. Turning to Marel, she patted the Chimera's shoulder. "They'd have to be. Breeder's are... Were, super active. Usually female though that we saw in training. Almost no males. But I imagine it was to avoid having combat troops out of commission for an extended period. As for his ears... What, are mine not fluffy enough?" She said, though ended with a pouting question. Her tail flicking behind her in disappointment.

Nicole settled herself on the beach, sheltering under Sariel's umbrella. "Either way, it's not something we need to worry about right now. Besides, no rules or regs saying we can't have relationships. Much less flings. So we can't tell her she can't do it. Just tease her mercilessly about it." She stated, grinning.

Sariel rolled her eyes and gave an amused cough of her own, before picking her book back up and resuming reading.

Linda smiled, and walked over to Sonia, before helping the human stand up. "You missy, are going to enjoy the water a bit now before we call it a day here. Now... comon!" She said, beginning to drag Sonia to the ocean water.

Sonia wanted to protest, but figured it would be pointless, however that was paused for a moment. As after Linda’s display of disappointment, Marel got a feel up on Linda’s tail and ears while she was bent over trying to get a grip on Sonia. “Oh you’re right, these are really soft!” the Chimera pilot said in genuine awe.

Seeing it as her escape, giggling, Sonia slipped out of the grip and dashed out towards the wave. “I dunno, I think you got a fan wanting to fondle your fuzz first there.~”, the blonde teased before making her rapid exit.

Linda made a very happy fox sound as Marel began to feel up her tail and ear fluff, getting a snort of amusement out of Nicole. "You win this time LT, but I'll get you soon enough!" The Legion Master Sergeant called out, shaking a fist in false anger at her escape, but the grin on her face was enough of a clue to indicate she didn't mind at all. "Oh and Marel, unless we're supposed to be professional, don't be afraid of enjoying the mofu." She said, looking back at the Chimera, a huge grin on her face as she used the Onikari word for her fluff.

Nicole smiled. "I should probably get going too. I'm gonna need to find a suit in my size, plus I dunno if you can just find netsuits on the street like you would street clothes." She said, shrugging.

"You can. They've become something of a fashion piece, alongside the other oddball clothing style and uniform pieces from Hassan." Sariel said without looking up. "Where do you think Sykains like myself find our outfits? Folks making 'em again. The netsuits are the same. They just don't sync to a Chimera Tank Assault Suit anymore if you buy them on the market." She said, smiling.

"Huh, shoulda expected that."

“Good because, you, me, your mofu, and the beach towel have a date~ I really want to feel these for a while, perfect while we dry off.” Marel seemed so happy, her hands going to town, even before she suddenly pulled the other woman down with her to the towel to resume. One hand even starting at the base of the tail before working along the tail with the other. She wanted to go akimbo on it and the ears once she got there, and she was going to take her sweet time.
