[You find yourself in a small, quaint little town. The architecture has a notably late-1800s bent to it, in contrast to the clean, crisp air you breathe – combined with a faint, flowery scent – it's almost as though it is not industrialized at all.

Which would be easy enough to believe. After all, there do not seem to be any people out other than you and your fellow spelunkers – in spite of the occasional whisper you might hear. Hushed and impossible to actually make out.

Far in the distance lies a towering building, similar in shape to a fairytale castle.]

[Elys, good girl that she is, covers her eyes.

Now then. You've got yourself a few vibrators, a cat o' nine tails, a riding crop, some knives, and a branding iron! If you look to your left there is even a furnace to heat the iron in.

The woman, apparently still alive, suddenly jerks against her chains as she hears you approach, and the rattle echoes throughout the dungeon. For that one moment, the whispering you've been hearing (and probably gone and gotten used to) disappears. But, is it really that nice to hear itself?]

[kalahiki]

...we walked right into her sexual fantasies. [Sei...sighs, and goes to look at the bodies.] And all her hangups about them.

[fangirlitis]

[Well, if we're being a good girl... let's sign in. Then we'll go peek at the library's database and just see what's around♥]

[fangirlitis]

There's you, and me... and like, three or four other people total.

Oh, and I know a great cook, so that's covered.

[guardofsteel]

[ insert facepalm here ] God. Dammit I don't even know this girl and I do not need to see this.

[provocate]

Alright... [Little nod ('8]

How often do you meet...?

[fangirlitis]

Whenever we feel like it!

[Meaning there is no schedule.]

[hairpining]

[The books are incredibly varied. Necronomicon, Book of Eibon, Unaussprechlichen Kulten, Celeano Fragments, The King in Yellow... all ominous sounding. Then there's stuff like How to Make Friends. All of these are currently checked-in.

Then you get to the rest: Akimoto Yuu (out), Kawatake Saburo (out), Fukui Ichiro (out), Shion Yutaka (out), Morizawa Chieko, Miyamoto Kanan, etc... all names of people that she knows.

Since there aren't any people, it's safe to assume the checked-out books are around the library somewhere.]

[fangirlitis]

[Checked out? As in, NOT returned to the shelves?!

Kanan smells a sidequest. It is time gentlemen. Time for a gentlemanly book hunt throughout the library!

Alas, if only she had brought her hunting dog!]

[provocate]

[Oh my goodness 8> Looks at the girl, smiling as she twitches, before his attention returns to the... things... All these things... Picks... a vibrator up... Turns it on--]

[AND IMMEDIATELY DROPS IT FUCK WHY IS IT VIBRATINALSKDJFLKJSDFLKJSDF shit deep breaths...]

[oh my god okay... now that he's... given himself a jump scare... he'll bend down to collect the stupid thing from the floor fff]

What are the poppies for... [Is that a human... mating thing...?]

[hairpining]

[Well, where do you start?

The bookshelves, as Kanan can tell from here, are also sectioned-off and labeled: 'Gula,' 'Ira,' 'Luxuria.'

It wasn't there before, but there does seem to be a book sitting on the help desk, now.]

[fangirlitis]

[Clearly, one should be in each. Buuut, let's start with the book on the help desk.

And while we're at it, peek at which section her own book is in♥]

[provocate]

[Cackles??? Why]

How exciting~ I'll look forward to it then, my dear.

[hairpining]

[Her book, says the computer, is located in 'Luxuria.'

The book on the help desk is labeled 'Shion Yutaka.' Do you open it?]

[fangirlitis]

[Survival Horror Rule #4: Read. Fucking. Everything.

Serious face on. Without even knowing who Shion Yutaka is, it is time to read it.]

[hairpining]

[You feel, in the purest and simplest way, confused. Confused and horribly irritated, but most notable is the tight feeling in your chest -- reminiscent of being in love, though the actual emotions don't match up.

As for the text:
disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear

A quill pen appears in your hand.]

[hairpining]

... What's going on?

[Elys doesn't uncover her eyes, but all the noise is seriously weird 8|

That said. Having had enough of just listening to everyone else talk, the woman opens her mouth. Though ragged and breathy, her voice is easily recognizable to... well, everyone except Elijah. Maybe that's for the best though.

"Hah? Ah, Master? Master, today's Master is here, welcome back! ... What will we do today...?"]

[fangirlitis]

[The word 'disappear' 40 times... but this feeling?

Is this Michi's feeling? It has to be, she doesn't know this name.]

AH! This is... this is insatiable lust that she can't stand, and it annoys her but she doesn't have a way to stop the way her body feels♥

Doho, Michi... you had someone like that all this time... Well then, before we make any edits~

[She tries to take the book and pen with her and goes off to search Gula for others]

[kalahiki]

It's a dungeon full of weird things, Elys...

[...Sei manages not to snicker at Baron, since he's distracted by, well, creepy M Michi.]

...'Master'? This is what you're into?

[guardofsteel]

Just... trust me when I say you don't want to look.

[ He doesn't even want to look. This is pretty much everything Elijah never wanted to know about a complete stranger. He is deeply uncomfortable. ]

[provocate]

[...oh 8> S... o... the Baron has owned slaves before which makes this... kinda fascinating to him lskjdfljsdf Stays crouched down, turning the vibrator off again and reaching over to take her by the chin and turn her face towards him]

What would you like to start with, my dear, I'm feeling generous today~ [..........omg can someone... make him go sit in the corner or somethingalksdkflas]

[hairpining]

[Gula is the knowledge section.

Necronomicon, Book of Eibon, Unaussprechlichen Kulten, Celaeno Fragments, De Vermis Mysteriis. Grimoires. The King in Yellow. How to Make Friends. Cookbooks.

Laid rather precariously on a reading table in the section, open in the middle, pages-side down, is another book.]

[fangirlitis]

[Let's peek at How to Make Friends, and also grab and read the pages-side-down book.]

[hairpining]

[She flushes bright red, easily visible through pale skin. For some reason or another, she is the only living inhabitant of the Heart who you can actually see as a normal person? Fancy that.

Anyway. Sounding increasingly desperate the longer she talks!

"L-Let me -- your penis, your cockpenisdick, my mouth? In my mouth? Please? Please? It's okay to suck it, right? It is, isn't it??"]

[kalahiki]

Baron knock it off. [8|]
