Three days passed nearly in the blink of her reptilian eye, with little to do but play with Roy, she had let him go back to his usual routines and spent her time with Nina and Riiko; while breaking Royce had been quick...and rather painful, she might add, on both accounts, she took her time explaining the situation to the two Clef-kin, until they saw things her way...well, in the haze of the heat drug, it was difficult not to see things in the other person's perspective she had supposed, but now things were set up properly, and they were back to their 'normal' lives.

Serena had, however, insisted upon them getting a whole showering room set up between the night life section and the outside world; and Royce had insisted that as the one who came up with the 'idea', half of the money they made from it, would go to her--much to her displeasure. That being said, she stayed in a room behind Royce's office most of the time, looking over the blueprints for what was to be, and made corrections to what had been depicted there....and that would be the place she would be found now.

After Kyn arrived in Serena's world again, his first stop was Gambitville. Then after dealing in the bones, pelt and three Tauros, he went to Anana's shop to see if she was there so he could PERSONALLY let her know that he had taken the order, and that he had fulfilled it.

Anana, per usual, could be found in her shop; this time actually assisting a customer, her yellow hide hidden mostly by the order that she had gathered up; it was however Fabian that carried it out for them to their cart, not the lizard herself. The sound of footsteps alerted her to the presence of yet another person in her shop, and she turned instinctively to face them. "Good Afternoon~" She wasn't even really looking at who it was, her mouth was upturned in the smile that was characteristic for her.

"Ah, hello Miss Anana! It's been a few days since we last met, it's Kyn and I've got somethings I wanna discussing regarding an order. If you're not TOO busy that is." Kyn said, eying the other customer for a split second.

The voice made her eyes open wide, it had only been four days since she last saw him. "Ah...Kyn~ no, not too busy at all, how have you been?" She paused at the words 'order'. "Are you having trouble with it?" She did walk back to her counter, jotting down the sale and what her register should read for the end of the night; and with the last trip, Fabian returned to the back of the shop; aside from Anana, the shop was empty.

"No... no, just that I've almost finished it. Even the Sharpedo. I think I'll be done in maybe half a day." Kyn said, creeping up to the counter, and then attempting to look over it.

"I-in four days? Really now...So what did you want to discuss~?" She tried to maintain her usual demeanor, but since he wasn't having problems with it at all, she wasn't sure what he could want of her.

"Well, I was wondering... do you know about how much meat is processed on a yearly basis? It might give me... an idea of what to expect, volume wise. Also... someone must have either some expensive or some dangerous tastes... that Sharpedo... was really scary..." Kyn said honestly.

"Ah...that order was for a party that someone wanted at Nibbles Sushi bar...I can't say for whom, of course, but hmm...as far as meat is concerned..." She closed the ledger for the daily sales, and brought out a much larger ledger, trailing her fingers over the pages. "Last year...well, that is quite a big number, it's a good thing that families can replace those who were lost quite easily around here, no problems with fertility...of course there's the odd bits, but you know~ Ah, I'm off topic...Here, see for yourself." She pushed the book towards him. "If it doesn't bother you, I might start relying on you more for the meat products--if no one has to lose their lives then I would much rather that they didn't."

Kyn shifted his focus down to the book that was put before him. "Er... well... I only got lucky this time. I wouldn't exactly say I could replicate this kinda of result ever single time. Oh, and speaking of meat.... There is one thing that I still haven't really told Serena much about... it involves... things about others of MY kind." He put emphasis on the my so that she might be able to guess that he was referring to his humanity.

"This was a special case, I wouldn't expect you to replicate this sort of thing all the time...I thought I did say that." She tapped her chin for a moment, then looked at him curiously. "Well, knowing Serena, she'll ask if she's curious- she almost always is anyway, that's how she gets in trouble so much~" She trailed off at the mention of humans. "I suppose it was too much to ask for your kin to be herbivores..."

"That's the rather interesting part about it Anana... we're all three. Pure Herbivores, pure carnivores, AND omnivores. Now, what I was about to ask was... by any chance would you happen to know where I might be able to find a group of Slowpoke...? Or at least *a* Slowpoke...?" Kyn decided to sit down for the time being.

"Hm...well, Slowpoke do live by the water, I would try around Tao lake, or at the swamp, either of those should provide you with...where a slowpoke would be." The voice was curious, but she didn't ask; better that she didn't, she figured.

"Thank you... now, I do have a non-food related question. Um.... have you seen any base colored green Kecleon nearby, or anywhere between here and Tao...?" Kyn asked, hoping to at least see ONE green Kecleon here.

"I'm afraid that -MY- family are the only Kecleon in the bay; and we've not produced any green colors for generations, in fact, Momma and....well, my SIBLING are the only cool colors for a while...Tao might have some green Kecleon in their guild rankings though, you could ask Serena about that, or send away for the records, I'm sure their record's keeper wouldn't be opposed to letting you see them. He's a writer, you see. A Ninetales if I recall, really though, I don't know why Papa allowed him to remain there..."

"I see... well, thank you for all the information. Now, I believe I have something here that might be to your liking still..." Kyn of course was referring to the delicious Pokéblock that he had made. He took out five blocks this time, and held them in his hand for a bit.

Anana looked at the PokéBlock and of course, gently took them from his hands--since she had been shown his true form, she could SEE it now. She folded four of the pieces up in a piece of cloth, and politely popped the fifth in her mouth so that it wouldn't appear as if she was gorging herself on treats....like her sister often did. "Mmmm, thank you."

"You're welcome. Serena, Tensa , you, and I... all have a similar taste for these things. So, I was thinking... I'd be wanting to work a bit more until I got to about a half a million Poké, and then take a break for a bit." Kyn said, briefly switching back to stuff about business again.

"That's a sizable sum, you realize that I hope? Most aim for that and have to save for their entire lives to be able to even reach 200K?...well, I'm not among them, but hm...it's understandable. If you wanted to take up my offer on being my go to for meat, then you could probably make that in a few months maybe. You know, if you're lucky." She added with a pointed look. "It would mean filling more than one customer's order at once."

"...I guess I might be able to try it out. The faster I reach that sum the more confident I can feel being here. I've gotten a bit more used to your currency and I'd figure... that, with what my plans are... I'd be trying to acquire at least 500,000 to a million a year. Compared to most of us... the lifestyle I have... is quite odd, considering the amount of my own currency I have, and the reason why I'm telling you this so suddenly is because... well... I may actually... decide to live here. Albeit with... a bit more technology... but uh... I hope I'm not rambling." Kyn said, reviewing all the information he just spigoted.

She dropped the bit of charcoal she had been writing with. "You've decided to live here? Where?" She realized she had dropped her writing utensil and picked it back up, cleaning up the stray marks on the paper. "I uh...nevermind, it doesn't matter...If you're up for buying a house, I could give you an advance and instead of paying you, just mark off how much you would have made off of the debt; if you'd prefer that....that way you wouldn't owe anyone anything on the house itself." She ducked beneath the counter and brought back up three envelopes that he would recognize as being work orders, with different wax seals. "Here, at your leisure, I know you're already working on one that's relatively big, so, as I said."

"I haven't finalized my decision to live here yet but... as it currently stands, I do have a sort of... non-permanent home in the Windswept Woods." Kyn reached down to the counter and picked up literally ever single order that she placed onto the counter.

"Ah...I do hope Twigs and Styx aren't giving you too much trouble, living on their land..." She gestured to the envelopes. "Just come back when you want more."

"Alright. Now I'm off to do... stuff." Kyn said lamely. He exited the shop and then he opened the envelopes. <Serena... Serena... by any chance are you currently available?>

"See you later~." She said with a smile, and waved him off, going back to her normal life for a bit.

Serena looked up from the blueprint almost instinctively and answered. <Eh? Kyn? Back so soon? Sorry, I was focusing on this layout...ugh, remind me not to go into construction...Yes, I'm available.>

<I've finished, and I've picked up more orders from Anana. I told her I'd be finished later today though. Now, has much changed in the days I've been gone?> He looked at the two orders and sighed.

Serena rubbed her claws over her face. <Construction is going to take place on the night life area, changing different things around, adding in a rental booth for gear that they don't have themselves--though I suppose after word gets around that that would be made null...making all the rooms more comfortable among other things, and a shower/locker room.>

<Shower/locker room....? I'm assuming that that would be there for rather obvious reasons but... gear rental him. I suppose it would make sense for those that AREN'T me. Now, there another thing that has been on my mind rather a lot recently... involving Royce. I was thinking that perhaps it would be best if I could tell you in person.> Kyn folded the orders up, and put them in one of his many pockets, and started heading for the Casino.

<Alright, is there a specific place you would like to meet, or can I continue to work while I wait for you to get here?> She inquired, preparing to roll up the blueprints if need be; the door to Royce's office was open, of course; but she paid the going ons very little mind...Royce had taken to wearing his collar almost constantly; if beneath his frill where no one else could see it.

<Well, I can just go to you. I'm on my way now anyway.> Kyn wanted to see the beginnings of these changes for himself, so he entered the Casino the normal way.

<Alright...since the new password system isn't set up yet, yours will be....> She pulled the most random word from Kyn's head <Jitterbug, you can walk up to the guard at the door near the card tables, or the lobby, and use that to get in the back, the others are...well, closed off while the construction goes on.> "Vendetta, be a dear and relay the message that I'll be having a guest soon, let the guards know that anyone who says 'jitterbug' to them; should be allowed back here. Thank you in advance." She looked over the blueprints for what seemed like a millionth time, looking for anything she had missed...Pull down cots, D rings built into the walls and ceiling, posts available to have someone displayed, and many interchangeable other rings that could be pulled out with hard twist and a yank----yes, that would do, at least for the less extreme fetishist rooms. She had written Merlot when this began, she did hope that she would be able to get back to normal life herself, once the week was up.

<That certainly is... an interesting uh... password. I think I'll be at the Casino in oh... about fifteen minutes now.> Kyn said, mentally keeping track of how long he'd be away from Anana's shop relative to how long he remembered it taking to get there. After he arrived, he did as suggested. "I've just got this jitterbug in my head... I can't seem to get it out," is the sentence he had used with the word in it. Afterward he went through to the back.

<I'm behind Royce's office, the door's open so don't worry about disturbing him, or me.> Serena set down the chalk after tapping it against the corner of the paper as she tried to think. Could she make the rooms better? They already had a drainage system...of course all toilet activities would have to be taken care of outside of the room, but really, she didn't want them too crowded....the gear rooms were being condensed into a center point, and they would have to give them their room number when things were rented, the key cards were always swiped and synched...the lockers were the same way, the keycards were used to secure belongings so that things didn't become too crowded, and of course, the cards themselves were set up so that they could be put on the ring of the collar so they wouldn't be LOST in the rooms themselves...the collars of course, were monitored, but every one that would come to use them would have one worn, and only the guard had the key to take them off.

<Behind Royce's office...?> He had been IN Royce's office before but never actually been behind it. He made his way into the office, past the open door and then waited.

"You didn't honestly think that he SLEPT in his office, did you?" She said as she saw his silhouette in the doorway; she motioned him inward with her claw, and for about the fifteenth time; she smoothed the paper on the table against the wall. There was a bed at the far end, and even a chair beside where she sat on the floor, going unused.

"Hello Serena, and no, the answer is that it would be silly if he slept in his office." Kyn said, sitting down on the ground, despite there being a chair and a bed.

"Exactly. Well, except that he kind of does at the moment; since he doesn't want to sleep in the same room as I do, and I've refused to let him pay for a room for me." She got up and closed the door then spoke again. "You know that bugger is insisting upon sending me half of what he makes off of this idea?"

"I did not. Now, I did come all this way to check on you but, I also came here to tell you. This idea has been in my head for a while!" He said.

"What idea would this be?" She walked back to the paper, jotting down a memo on the border of the print with the white chalk, in footprint runes of course.

<Not going to say this out loud. Now... to the best of my knowledge it appears that Royce has been behaving. My thoughts sooner or later shifted to the fact that, one of the few disciplinary things that I have inflicted upon Royce EXCLUDE an over the knee hand spanking from me. That's one of the things at least.> "Footprint runes in chalk... now that's something I never thought I'd see." Kyn said, carrying on the rest of the conversation in voice.

<...and you no longer wish for it to be excluded from the list? He has been behaving recently, it's rather odd...perhaps it's because he knows that I'm working, he doesn't want to...distract me. Actually he's been that way since you left, probably doesn't have an interest in playing when he knows he can't cum.> she looked over at him. "Why wouldn't we be able to do them in chalk?"

"It's not that just that... I haven't really seen chalk used in a long time. How many different colors of chalk do you have...?" He asked. <Well you could say that. I'm not just going to abuse my authority with him though. Speaking of which, I'm thinking that after you're with the initial stages of construction... you should reward him.>

<You keep saying that...the thing is, he ENJOYS even the denial now. I'm going to have to start using harsher punishments on him if he DOES act up again...> She sighed mentally. <Perhaps you should stop saying things like that and just tell me your idea, since you clearly have an idea of HOW I should reward him.> "White and red...black if you count Charcoal. Truth be told this is the first time I've used it myself, it smudges so easily that it's not even funny."

<He's enjoying it now? He's just as bad, not in THAT sense as Tensa was... for a while. He seemed to act up on purpose, before I caught on.> "Hm, then it's not like the chalk from my world. I believe Pal and Palette might be interested in... some of it. We have all the primary colors, and secondary colors, and even some in between." Kyn said, trying to give Serena a memory of some of the chalk drawings that he used to do back when he was a younger child under the age of 10.

<Difference is, he can't hide it from me.> She gave up trying to write, with the different thoughts and things...well, it just wasn't working. "Perhaps they would...this is used only for official purposes...there might be a blue too, that shows up against certain things, but if it does exist, it wasn't given to me."

<Tensa doesn't hide it from me anymore. But as odd as this is, I don't really have an set idea this time.> "Serena, Anana thinks that I can make at least half a million in a few months." Kyn said.

"Working yourself to the bone perhaps, and with her drastically overpaying you." <If you don't have something in mind, then don't suggest that I do it. I've forgiven, but I've not forgotten, Kyn, and the fact that I've not forgotten wont let me let him touch me, even if he's the submissive in it all.>

"Serena... in truth... I've been overworking since the day I started. I now literally have a surplus. A stock, if you will, to the point in which, I don't have to really hunt anymore unless I'm bored. I spent... a total of a year gathering, and it's only been a total of three months here that I've been working for Anana and, so far I've got four times as much, if you factor in Gambitville. Consider it like a money investment, that is currently building so fast, that you can't spent it fast enough to deplete it. You're not really one for the money though, but I figure you'd still be able to understand my example." Kyn took many pauses to breathe, break, let information sink in, and to generally get from one train of thought to the next.

Serena wrinkled her nose at the thought of all the excess that that had to create, it went against her hunting instincts, but she let it drop. "Yes, I understand...I suppose that I'll have an excess of money as well, considering this venture...too bad you can't buy accessories with poké."

"Serena... what type of accessories are you thinking about? What type of accessories do they even have...? I wonder if Chrys would be able to actually tailor my overcoat if something happened to it..." He went off topic partially, but still stayed within the SUBJECT.

Her head withdrew into her shell for a moment, and she eventually pulled out a large sheet of folded paper, and offered it to him so that he could see the accessories that could be received by going to Chrys. "Probably could, he's rather good with cloth...take a look. I want the Flygoggles~"

"Ah... goggles are nice for flying. Though my goggles were to keep the sand out of my eyes during sandstorms. Hm, so. Some of these... look rather odd. Though I suppose that's just... from my perspective." Kyn said, trying to think of what some of the human equivalents would be.

"You should have seen the stuff from after Mission 5...when essentially the whole town was in Merlot's castle...the accessories they had available then were...how should I put it...for a more...mature crowd."

"Serena. The moment you said Merlot, followed by accessories in the same sentence, my thoughts immediately flowed to bondage-y things." Kyn chuckled.

"Yes, exactly...ball gags...which she called a complaint muter, a spiked collar with a leash attached to it...a corset, a dress and a set of shoes...and some lacey cuffs...oh, and make up." She added as an after thought.

"My my. So, Serena... how long do you think it'll take to finish this construction? I might be staying here for quite a while this time." Kyn added, looking at the blueprints.

"I'd like...to be back home by the end of the week, or shortly after...I would hope that Royce would hire someone more than competent to follow the blueprint that I've tweaked to hell and back being precise in everything....without me actually having to be here. Would you like to SEE exactly what's being done currently? They've been demolishing the walls around the other doors for the showers and locker room, pretty soon the door in the lobby will be the only one that staff go in and out of..."

"I'd like it to be surprise. Like walking into a whole new Casino. So... what's Royce gonna do while the two of us are gone Serena...? I'm not exactly familiar with the way things are gonna work, based on the way you've set it up with him." Kyn wondered.

"Life goes back to essentially being normal for him while we're gone. No worries about being played with at inopportune times...I mean, the rules I put in place for him will remain in place, but he'd be essentially free to do whatever he wants. Actually it shouldn't be too different from now...unless he decides to be stupid and..." She sighed. "And he just left the Night life entertainment section, dressed in cuffs on his wrists, ankles, and one on his tail...and his collar. Yeah, see, acting up now that we're both here."

"Doesn't that just mean that he WANTS to be punished? Hm. Royce looking like that, would look rather strange. I think we should handle this right away..." Kyn said, trying to picture what sort of type the items he was wearing were, considering the many different styles he had seen.

Serena sighed, and stood up. "Honestly, what could we say? I mean...if people see him, they're GOING to ask questions...and I can't say that he's lost his mind." she pointed out. "But yes, it means that he wants to be punished, and that he knows eventually, that he's going to be gotten off."

"So let's get going then? Maybe you could say he's modeling. I dunno." Kyn waited for Serena to lead the way.

She sighed again, then opened the door and walked out of the back room, the office, down the path, and finally out into the lobby, following the mental trail until she arrived at...well, Riiko's table, who was looking just as shocked as she felt. <Ugh, I'm going to tie him to the ceiling upside down for this!> She growled mentally, and without an explanation, walked over and grabbed his tail just behind the cuff itself. "Royce, I know you want to show off your new outfit, but could you at least wait until ALL of it is finished and put on before you show it off? The tailors need you back so they can add the sleeves to those cuffs." Her mind screamed at the lie, and her claws nearly drew blood in his tail. Outfit, well, he was going to get a new outfit, just not with these cuffs...and he was holding them up on getting SOMETHING finished.

<Oh, those rooms have those things, right. Hm, but this IS *Royce* you're dealing with, isn't it? If it is, then I'm confused as to why he'd act like that.> Kyn quickly trailed behind Serena, glancing at the staff slightly as he walked.

She didn't wait for him to talk, she rather dragged him back towards the nearest door, until they were out of earshot of the others. "What the fuck Royce? I know you like being punished, but for fuck's sake, did you think I'm not going to adapt to keep you from enjoying it?" Characteristically of the Royce persona, he was unwilling and even rude as he was virtually dragged by his tail, back to the room, where she clipped his tail to the floor, and then his wrists to keep him from undoing it while she grabbed what was essentially a straight jacket, hood and leg bindings all in one. The aim here wasn't for him to like it, wasn't even for her to like it...or Kyn for that matter, and as she forced him into it and laced up the back, the rings built into the bottom made it clear that it was meant to hang from the ceiling. It had holes so that he could breathe through his nose, but nothing otherwise, and even his tail was tucked away beneath the leather. <It is Royce, yes, not Roy...but Roy is still inside Royce.>

<Seems that at the oddest times the Roy side seems to interfere with Royce. All the things that are here are new to me. I've never really crossed over into the extreme fetishy side of things. Dealing with Royce makes all of my exchanges that much more interesting.> "...I just hope that the King's Rock Casino doesn't turn into a place where the common way to address it is Casino/Bondage Club, and hope that that part rather stays on a card basis. Are there... any other types of fetishes addressed here...?"

"As if fetish club sounds any better....a lot of what I've arranged for revolve around Dominance and submission--those who choose to ignore their natural instincts would be able to accept them here...Mind standing on me to reach the ring so I don't have to throw the chain through the loop?" She offered him the length of chain. <I've tried to keep most of it tame...this outfit is on the more extreme side, I'll give you that...like forcing someone into a Spinarak cocoon and not being let out...>

"Tsk. This guy..." Kyn muttered, as he took the chain and fed it back through the loop, then handed it back to Serena. <What exactly... I mean... why does this outfit even exist...? Do you know what I mean...?>

<Breathplay mostly...> She clipped the chain through rings to the cuffs, and then walked over to the other end, and easily pulled the chain to where he just barely hung from the top of the ceiling, and then sat to essentially bat him around with her claws, making him swing forward and back. <The idea is that the person in the suit gets light headed and dizzy from being hung upside down and swung, I'm afraid there's nothing really vicariously arousing about this punishment, unless you count the domination factor.>

<No... that's not what I mean... I guess I gotta be more specific. Let me rephrase this; this particular outfit in my world, albeit with a few changes... is used for different purposes in my world. Though this is still one of them.>

<Tell me then.> the message was short, and she gave Royce a particularly good whack at the shoulder, leaving marks in the leather where her claws touched.

<You remember that discussion we had a while back, about what happened to those types of Pokémon that were deemed to be unfit for society due to various things like saying that they learned from humans... or other things? Well... if a human were to go around and say they were a Pokémon or that they learned from them, they'd be separated from society, and if they acted violent... as in attacking others, they'd be put in something similar to that thing, basically.> Kyn didn't bring any images to his mind since he hadn't really BEEN to or seen that type of thing, only heard about it, and this reminded him of that.

Serena blinked at him, the image in her mind wasn't QUITE lining up with what he said, but it was close enough. <I....see. Well I wouldn't know anything about that, I just...well my instincts would be to kill them if they weren't right in the head...weeds out unwanted mutations...but that's going back to the fact that I myself have a mutation.> She laid down on the floor.

<Of course, there's more than they do than just isolate them but that's beside the point. Anyway, as odd as this sounds, when it's not me up there, I find this situation entertaining. Royce has become an almost pendulum!> Kyn's ability to make a joke out of almost any situation, started to develop again.

<...when it's not you up there, huh?> She sounded almost amused as she spoke, and then stood up on her hind legs, one pushed backwards to stabilize herself as she gave a rather resounding slap to Royce's rear, making him groan in reply.

<Heh...> "That sounds and looks like it would have left a mark, had he been uncovered." Kyn commented.

<You put ideas in my head, I will not be blamed for acting on them one of these days, Kyn.> "Probably will anyway." With Royce still swinging, she walked over to the chain, wrapping it around her one clawed limb, and then unhooked it with the other, walking back to the center point before allowing him to be lowered to the ground, and putting her claws on his shoulder. "Look, Roy, I'm not going to play this game with you, I've TOLD you, in fact, that if you want to play you just have to tell me, my anger is not something you want to toy with."

"I would have played with him too, if he'd just asked." Kyn said, sighing. <Of course, I'm not always here either, and neither are you. Also, like I said earlier, Tensa went through that exact type of thing. Getting himself into trouble on purpose.>

The muffled reply that came in return made her mouth twitch in a frown, and she rolled him over, unlaced the hood portion, and pulled it off. "What was that now?" <It's a six hour walk to Tao, or vice versa, and he's rich enough to afford a balloon ride if he absolutely wants me to play with him, it's not an excuse.>

"I'm.....I'm sorry..."

<Hm, I see. Serena, did you learn about heightened sensitivity, caused by the blocking off of other sensations such as sound, and sight, for this type of thing, yet?> "Well... apparently that is the magic word and everything is all better now, fine and dandy, right Serena?" The sarcasm that was dripping from him would have been plainly obvious.

"Oh /sure/, everything's just pecha-y." She walked away from him, towards Kyn, leaving the Slowking tied up. "Because sorry is something that I THOUGHT I had beat the meaning into you a few days ago." The growl was present in her voice again. <I knew about it before Merlot mentioned it...I used blindfolds to learn my forest, and even hunt when I was...bored,I suppose you could say, training with my other senses.>

<Merlot mentioned it? Ah, that Lugia. Hm, Serena... I've never really seen Merlot. Our... idea of a Lugia would probably have no concept here.> Kyn not so subtly dropped the idea that he wanted to know what Merlot looked like.

She essentially curled around his feet, sighing through her nose as she brought up all sorts of pictures of Merlot herself, some in her 'teachings' others just enjoying glasses of wine or of course, speaking to Serena herself with a wanting look in her eye, they were in no particular order, but she did give them to him. <Could have just straight out asked me such things, you're lucky I can read your mind.>

<No, I am not lucky Serena. Not always. There is a saying in my world. 'One cannot lie to a Dragon.' You appear to be a prime example of that, though probably for a different reason. I didn't exactly want to straight up ask you. Now... I believe that I will show you about our Lugia...> "Hoy boy. He's really screwed the Poochyena on this one this time." Kyn said, almost feeling sorry for him.

<Most things are a blessing and a curse, Kyn, one would have...what, what was that saying? Er...?> She looked at him questioningly, not really making any noise, or even looking at Royce.

<Heh... not literally. It's in essence means... to royally fuck up. Which actually fits the situation quite well, since Royce has a crown, it makes a hidden pun. Which I didn't even realize until now.> Kyn explained.

<Well Kyn, unlike you, being around this atmosphere, the whole openly bondage fetish grows...stagnant to me, having been around it constantly since we began this venture.... If you wish to play with him, or punish him, be my guest.>

<Serena, what you just said makes absolute perfect sense. To me, things of this nature are a treat. Either being the participant or participating myself. I could also see why you'd be glad to return to your normal life.>

<I would not be able to see things from Merlot's point of view...she lives this, day in and day out, and apparently doesn't get bored of it...as for normal life...well, nothing's exactly -normal- since I've met you, now is it? I'm going to have all this money that I'm going to need to keep out of sight, that I'm not even going to count or condense, or anything...I've got Marlow who can't really be in the same room with Heji without grating against one another's nerves, the fact that you left Heji here at least gave me someone to train with, and it was a good way to let off steam.>

<Day in an day out eh? Well, it can be a rather interesting lifestyle. But, I think Marlow and I will have to have a talk about this.> "Is he truly repentant though, Serena? You should know."

"Is he sorry that he did it, that he made things awkward, that he made me drag him back? None of those fall under the things that he is sorry for. Is he sorry for interrupting my work, does he finally understand that I am NOT amused by his games, and does he know that he's only gotten himself into deeper shit by doing it? Yes, he knows these things, and is, annoyingly, sorry for the former. In essence....he's only sorry that he got caught." <You did promise to assist with this issue, yes.>

"I see. Well, you're probably not in the mood to deal with it right now. So, I guess I'll just sorta... maybe, do something, while you get back to work." Kyn suggested.

"I'm not." She confirmed. "Do what you like." The fact that she wasn't moving should have told him that she thought that her blueprint work was essentially done; if not that she wanted to watch what he had in mind.

"Well... as you recall... I believe I was going to show you... certain techniques with rope."

"I recall, and yes, you were." She did move away from his legs a bit, relaxing against the wall in a reclined position, subsequently exposing her underbelly, not that she seemed bothered by this at all. <Though I still say that they wouldn't be able to hold me.> She added mentally.

<I see, well, once you see what I do, you might reconsider. Though definitely not in your Shelgon stage or Salamence stage... you're right about that. So, I need him to like, stay in place while I do this. I'll also be needing him to be on his knees, with his hands behind his back.>

Serena tilted her head, then moved back around to Royce, and pulled him up to his knees. The leather gave, of course, though she only moderately undid the lacings, not removing the bindings completely so that he still couldn't move. <As you go, then, we'll remove the previous sheathe of leather.> She had her claws on his shoulders, standing behind him, her snout close to Roy's neck. "Behave." The word was forceful, as if that word alone could keep him from misbehaving.

<Oh damn. Serena, a rather... disturbing image, even for me, came to mind. Perhaps I should send you an image of the type of rope bondage I am talking about, and then you can imagine why I shuddered after imagining what that would do, when combined with this thing. Also, that means I'm requesting that he be taken out of it for the time being.> Kyn said, sending the image over.

She tilted her head. <You requested that he remain still, that he be on his knees, and this was the solution that came to mind, to remove the leather as you worked with the rope to maintain his inability to move...I wasn't going to leave it on, or strip it off with my claws, there's laces back here, remember?> She paused at the image, then sighed. <Whatever, it doesn't matter, he's going to behave or he'll make this worse for himself anyway.> It did take some time to unstring the rest of the binding from him, but when she did, it laid on the floor, and she had to grab his claws to keep him from reaching around to cover himself.

Kyn started working with the rope as various parts of Royce were exposed, and then he sighed. <Ah... I see what you meant.>

Serena did reach around, as her claws were no longer needed, to tease the male before her, holding him tight with the other hand so that he wouldn't squirm. "From being hung upside down and nearly passing out? Really Roy, you're a glutton." As he opened his mouth to speak, she pressed her claws to his tongue instead, letting him suck over them, but other than whimpering, he wouldn't be allowed a sound. <Someone like this...how could he possibly have ever been a dom, eh? Must have been living vicariously.>

<Serena, we've all got a bit of masochism in us. Well, maybe except you. I suppose for those that have hides that are tougher to injure it wouldn't be there as much. But then again, you did mention UDON.> He now made sure that the connections binding Roy's arms were secure, then moved on to the lower area.

<Hedonist.> She answered <I will put myself through almost ANYTHING once...> There was a slight amount of embarrassment at the admission, but not much. <And you can't say I totally dislike pain, considering...> She didn't think she needed to finish the sentence, considering how small she had been when she first took Heji. When it was required of her to move, she did so, finally removing her claws from Roy's mouth, but keeping him upright with her other forelimb.

<Well, I'll see then. After you're a Salamence.> Kyn moved down to Roy's legs and did the same thing that he did with his upper body. <But seriously though... giving Royce an OTK spanking while he's got a boner is... like, I dunno...>

<Awkward?> She filled in for him, moving away a bit. <I'm guessing though, that eventually, if not now, you'll want a 'chair' so to speak?>

<Well... more than likely yeah. But for now, like I said, he's goin' over my knee, and as it turns out, he's actually quite the convenient size for it.> Kyn stood up, and examined the best way of going about it, considering that Roy was already on his knees.

<Collar and tail.> she suggested, moving behind Kyn and laying down in what was essentially a 'use me as a chair' situation, since it would be virtually impossible to put someone over your knee if you weren't seated.

Roy wasn't exactly sure what was coming, squirming a bit in the rope, he gasped a bit and shivered.

Kyn looked and calculated the height of what he needed, and then said to Roy, after sitting on one of Serena's lower plates, "Of course, I can't stop you from enjoying this, and I'm not even sure you've seen this done before. Now, go ahead and and lay across my lap." <But you might be able to tell me, and or do something>

<In regards to Royce's level of arousal? Heh, suppose you don't want it on your shoes.> She asked, her head withdrawn into her shell just in case he misjudged with his feet before sitting. Still, she remembered how much Udon had wanted to be spanked, and fought the urge to shift.

Royce on the other hand, bound as he was, shifted and managed (Without too much shifting of the ropes) to do as his Master wished of him, if having to move a bit like a worm to adjust after being on his lap.

"You're lucky Serena saved your ass. Though I guess, technically she didn't because of what I'm about to do." Kyn was sure that the way Roy was bound would keep him from squirming off his lap, but he put his hand on Roy's back as standard procedure anyway.

Serena blinked, not that it mattered what he was talking about; instead she just remained still.

He wasn't sure what he was talking about, he did squirm at the positioning, rubbing himself against Kyn's pant leg.

"Roy, lift your tail, and keep it lifted." Kyn said, in the tone that he used, whenever he was giving a Pokémon that WASN'T trained by him an order. After he did, then Kyn said "...and, now I begin." He aimed for the left side of Roy's rear with at first, a closed palm, and tested to see how the specific flesh would react, bringing it across at a medium strength.

Roy did react accordingly with a whimper, quite clear of what was going to happen now, he moved his tail up to the point that it could hook beneath his tied arms, which he did, so that just in case his instincts tried to make him pull it down, he could still obey Kyn. The first swing caused him to gasp, prepared as he was for it. Slowpoke bodies were made, it seemed, to take a beating.

Kyn, was thinking about many things, like about how Roy's rear felt against his hand, as well as how much give his skin had and just about what strength he'd be able to max out at. <Now, THIS is something that I'm wondering if you've seen before.> Kyn, gave Roy two more smacks to the left side, both a bit harder than the last, to gauge the reaction again.

Serena snorted a little. <No, I haven't seen someone use their hands against someone else's rear before...objects yes, but we don't exactly have a way to do that without....injuring them with our claws...Show me one at full strength, and then I'll gauge how much he can take from there.> She did her best to keep emotion from her voice as he brought his hand down again.

Roy squirmed and hissed a little through his teeth at the treatment, but made no move at all to lower his tail.

<Very well. You might even be able to tell simply by the change in movement.> Kyn raised his entire arm, and then with a closed palm aimed for the right side of his rear. For those that were more sensitive of hearing, the whoosh of air as his hand moved through the air could be heard. When it finally connected with his rear, the sound was like something that he hadn't heard in a long while, even with the riding crop, and he was sure that at that force level, it would instantly leave a mark on that side.

Serena grunted at that one, it wasn't loud, but it WAS there. <Hmmm...well, his body will endure, but going about it like that you'll have both he AND I hazy with lust by the time you're through with him.>

Royce yelped and hissed, squirming in his bonds as he tried to cover his rear, but of course, his arms bound, he could not. even get them down to half the place required. He had been marked, but had no intention of complaining.

<I'd imagine this would be much worse for him if there was a dildo shoved up his tail hole while I did this. But, I'm not trying to reward him here. So, I suppose in order to make it a punishment, I have to make it sting, but not hurt.> Kyn figured. He waited for Serena's response before beginning again.

<Probably would...Mmmmph, give me a moment...yes, I am going to play with the way his mind understands these responses, both so that you don't have to restrict yourself in the way you chose to punish him, and so that we don't have to worry about him enjoying himself too much.> She answered, and without waiting for a reply to her words, she delved into his mind and essentially twisted the line so that only a tiny bit of pleasure would actually go through into the pleasure category, where as the other made its way into the pain category. When this was done, and only when this was done, did she emerge back into the area of which she could be spoken to via link.

"Apparently... having hands allows me to do things a bit differently, Serena..." Kyn said. "Roy, do you know why I am punishing you?"

"I...no..." He shivered, expecting another hit at any time, considering...but he did shift to look up at him when he was answering.

"You are being punished for interfering with my plans." He said in a calm voice, but still not bringing his hand down again.

"But...You...just got here...how...could I have interfered with anything?" he was getting braver, not cringing every other moment at least.

"The fact that you're here now means that my plans were interrupted." He countered. <It's not an untruth, though he won't know exactly what I'm talking about.>

<What exactly ARE you talking about? You did say you wanted to bend him over and spank him like this.> Serena took a turn countering him, Royce was silent, knowing better than to ask in his position.

<It involved you. He interrupted my visit with you. I was planning on bringing Heji back for a while, so you two could work together and stuff, and then I'd come back for a bit after the orders were filled. He may not have done it personally but, it still happened.> Kyn conveyed.

The emotions expressed in that split second were of gratitude, of shock, of pain and of yearning, and each one colored her words. <I....we...*Sigh* not until the situation with Marlow is resolved. I can't have him moping around because Heji is with me, nor can I deny him my company; he is my partner. It doesn't feel right to have to dance around either of them like this...These trips are the one way I can; without worry, relax and know that he wont...be angry that I'm gone...But I can't allow you to leave Heji here again. Besides, he'll start to get a complex and think you've left him here for good.> okay, she was over exaggerating, and she knew that she was, but really, she hoped he would just let it go.

<I believe I should continue. The suspense is probably something I shouldn't be doing at this early point.> Kyn accentuated his point by using his arm in a horizontal sweeping motion, and using the tips of his fingers to 'whip' or as Serena put it, strike like an Arbok (though not the motion) against Royce's left side again, three times.

<Probably not....> With that being said, she closed off her side of the link so that she wasn't sending anymore words or emotions, but could still hear what was sent to her. She reclused a little bit more into her shell, even as Roy tensed in shock, even though he knew that the reprieve wouldn't last--that he wouldn't be let off the hook so easily.

Now knowing that Roy was able to take his full strength hits, he was going to slowly and slowly build up more and more sting, so that even a smack as light as the one he had just done, would feel like the full forced one. He began again with Royce's right side, doing three more, and then working into a pattern of doing two to each side, breaking only for three seconds in between numbering fifteen; all with the medium stingy smacks.

He grit his teeth a bit, hissing with pain at first, and then as time wore on, switched to grunts as he tried to adapt to the hits; normally, his arousal would have been dulling the pain by now, but with the changes Serena had made, he didn't feel that haze that should have numbed his awareness to it.

<I'm still counting. I need to keep track... for... certain reasons.> This time, he sped things up, and switch to an older tactic, of using two stinging smacks per second, for ten seconds. <A lot more can be done this way.>

"Mmmmph....Mhm~" She answered verbally rather than mentally; being used as a chair, not moving around was difficult for her--was this how NORMAL Shelgon felt? Well, she was anything but normal. She, unlike her counterparts, wanted to move around. It came out as a breathy sigh, but eventually her mind drifted back to the time only a few days ago, reliving those memories, both the good and the bad, until she was able to ditch the mood that telling him not to leave Heji had gotten her into. <Well, he's getting to know what this normally feels like as well.>

<...Normally feels like?> Kyn switched over to five quick full strength ones, before going back to the same pattern, but upping the number of stroke sets to five per side.

<Oh yes, I did tell you I was going to ensure that he wouldn't cum all over your shoes from the mixed pleasure and pain, right now he's getting what a -normal- 'mon would feel, rather than those sparks of pleasure, so it truly IS a punishment for him.>

Roy's hands twisted in the rope, trying to get out of them, and of course, only succeeded in making the ropes tighten. "Nnn...Please...Master, I didn't mean to interfere with what you wanted to do; if there's anything I can do to make it up to you...Please..." the words were of course said between blows, some of them accented within the blows themselves; and thus were sharp with strain.

<Serena it hasn't even been ten minutes yet, and he's already starting to beg... I realize that the usual cover of pleasure isn't there right now but... compared to what he and well, I guess, YOU, felt... this is but a freshly hatched Joltik bite.> "Right now, there is nothing. The time for my forgiveness is not now." Kyn said with a sigh and continued. He watched both the color that his hand was turning, as well as as his rear. <If I keep this up, his rear is going to match the rest of him.>

<He's just trying to head it off before it gets worse...and lets not mention that day, hm? There was a lot that day that made us both a but uncomfortable I would think.> Of course she was talking about the rather forced kiss, as well as the lashing that Royce had taken, and she still wasn't sure what she thought about rimming yet. She did twitch at those memories, but only at her claws. <Yes well, it would be a good thing that you have a way to heal him, since eventually he WILL have to go back out in public.>

Roy whimpered at the words, his eyes closed. "As you wish, Master." Submission; letting him do as he wished with him...he wasn't sure why Serena was allowing Kyn to sit on her, but since this was the gear room, there wasn't a chair here, perhaps that would be the answer.

<Fair warning though, Roy will be sobbing and crying again by the time I am done, although it will not nearly be as bad. However, I DO want to allow him to cum afterward.> Now that he had given Roy a break and reprieve he began again. For this particular set, Kyn raised his arm in the way he would for a full strength swat, but instead of using his palm, he used the tips of his fingers still. He intended to bring the total up to sixty, but if it took less than that to make Roy shed true tears of submission and defeat, then he would stop sooner.

<I will do my best to keep my mind separate from his.> The reply was resolute. <You do realize that he's going to attempt to keep from crying as long as possible so as not to interrupt you, right?>

The time wore, and as each slap got more painful, he turned to breathing out through his nose, at least until he became more vocal, with grunts of pain once again, it was about forty that his first tears started falling, he had long given up trying to plead for his release, if it was his Master's will, then he would endure. At fifty, he did begin to sob, his head tilted downward to hide his tears which dripped from his snout.

It was at this point that Kyn noted the tears which is what he wanted. He carefully moved Roy off his lap and onto his knees, being careful to avoid his rear, brought him into a hug. "You are forgiven now Roy. You don't have to endure anymore." Kyn also attempted to stroke Roy's back through the rope bindings. "You did well, taking your punishment like that, and I want to reward you for it." <Which is where you come in, I believe.>

Serena pulled her head out of her shell as Kyn moved Roy down to his knees, she did remove most of the backed up pleasure from the line, scattering it between his emotions and hers, to which she huffed for a moment, then cleared her head.<What do you wish of me?> The phrasing alone was enough to make her make her shiver mentally. <Especially since something that comes from you, should not be shown from me.>

Roy twitched as he was put onto his knees, at the hug...his eyes were squeezed shut, he didn't dare look at the human before him; he didn't even respond.

<I don't exactly want to overload him with pleasure but... I want him to react far more sensitively than normal. Can you do that?> After that, Kyn laid down on his stomach, and used his elbow to elevate himself to be level with Roy's organ. Since Roy's eyes were closed, he probably wouldn't be able to tell what he was about to do.

<I can.> She mused. <That deals with the nerves, not how things are perceived by him though, since you don't want to make him overload.> She rolled away from them and stood, walking around, stretching her limbs as she worked to increase the sensitivity margin to what she deemed to be 'far more' than normal. <Done.>
