A New Pair of Pants part 4

Tail comes home late. Mac and Mynxs have already ate. Tail, like Mac, doesn't care much for the shapeshifting body suits. Once inside she discards her clothes and slips into a housecoat. Tail picks up her food and flops down on the couch. Mac had been reading, Tail waves him over encouraging him to sit with her.

Mac does as asked, he sits on the ground in front of Tail, Tail finishes her food swiftly, she sets her hands on Mac's head. She removes Mac's ribbon from his hair. Tail brushes and braids his hair for him. As she does so, Tail calls out “Alia, resume playback 'Mazes of the Mind' chapter 14."

A radio show plays.

' Basher stops walking, the music of the carnival grows ever loader. Basher holds up a hand to stop Garret. “I have been thinking" Basher whispers. “ever since we walked into this twisted place, I have rub elbows with everyone I ever thought I knew; Rick, Sammy, Dall…" Basher turns to face his partner.

The hard nosed Doctor points “everyone here has voiced every thought I have had. Everyone knows just what I know, feels just what I feel. Our friends, they are all a part of me. Brian is my anxiety, Jon-Luke my drive, Kera my frustration." Basher pulls open his coat. “but who are you Garret?"

The slim man smiles nervously, he holds his hands forward to keep Basher at a distance. “I am Garret. We are friends. We cam here together…"

Basher cuts him off “Did we? Were you in the car with me as I was driving up? Or did you meet me at the gate. I seem to be having trouble remembering that part."

Basher holds his gun out in front of himself repeating “Who are you," again but with a noticeable hint of anger “who are you!" once more, now shouting “Who! Are you!"…'

As tail is working on Macs hair she talks “Do you know what I was just thinking about?" her knees part slightly so she can lean forward and look at Mac upside-down.

“No, what?" Mac asks

“I am never going to see a new episode of Star Trek." She shakes her head slightly “there are a lot of things I loved in my youth that just aren't around anymore. Yeah, I can have Reality's write me a script that will look like something that could be Star Trek, but whenever you ask Alia to make something, it is always just bits and bites of something old cobbled together.

Mac tips his head up looking at Tail “do you know what I am thinking?"

“No, what are you thinking" Tail asks

Mac smiles at the fox “you feel really warm."

“Last Friday of the month, I tend to get a little warm around this time." Tail chuckles. She brings her head down and licks Mac's face.

As the two kiss, the phone in the room starts to ring. Mynxs picks up “Vixon residence, Athena speaking."

The voice on the other side is one she has heard before “This is Ashley Minrow. Is Mac around?"

Mynxs covers the mouthpiece of the phone and yells over “Dad, it is that hairy old dog."

Mac does the one moment single and jumps to his feet, Mac takes the phone from Mynxs with a quick “thank you." Then turns his attention on the call “Ashley."

The voice replies “you can call me Minrow if you like."

Tail stands up she stretches her arms over her head. “I am going to go lay down." She walks backwards a few steps heading in the direction of the bathroom. “don't stay up to late. I want to go to they gym in the morning."

Mac nods to Tail as he speaks to Minrow “What is going on Minrow?"

Minrow asks “are you still collection pre-war stuff?"

Mac nods “best collection in town."

“I found a pair of pants, looks like they are made of canvas."

Mac jumps up and down a few times happily “does it have the original tags on it?"

“Lee 401." MInrow explains “are you interested?"

Mac calls out “Yeah, hold on to them, I will be in around noon tomorrow

“do you have a new clock for me?"

“I will see what I can find." Mac hangs up the phone

Mynxs is wagging her tail as she looks up to her father “MInrow find something interesting?"

“Yeah, we are going to have to go see him tomorrow."

Mynxs leans her back to the wall, her ears twitch as she hears Tail getting in the shower. “Dad, the way you and mom act, it is very close to infringing on the 'non-contact' law"

Mac giggles “close to? No, the way Tail and I interact is down right illegal under current rules."

Mynxs jumps up sitting on the countertop, she wags her tail crossing her hands over her lap, she leans slightly forward crossing her legs “so, you know about Synthesized Stimulation Module Programs don't you."

Mac looks side to side “it's not rigging any bells."

Mynxs leans over backwards looking up at the ceiling “you are not up on the latest tec. At all." she calls out to the room “Alia, produce a SSMP for dad please. Deliver to front room replication device"

A loud humming sound comes form the replicator for only a second then the door on it slides open revealing what looks like a diving suit, fully outfitted with a close-faced mask. The outfit is covered in bronze etchings with a dozen power newels attached to the hips and a dozen thick cables attached to the helmet.

“Slip this on, I will go grab mine." Mynxs rolls off the table and walks to her bedroom to change outfits. She explains as she walks “you can do this over the network, or through a model-R but it is way faster and more fun if you use the hard line to interface.

Mynxs comes back into the room a few short minutes latter dressed in a matching outfit. Mac has just finished putting his suit on. Mac looks a the helmet “well this doesn't look cozy."

Mynxs snickers “looks strange but once it is on you wont even notice it." Mynxs plugs the cables on her helmet into the ones on Macs then she has him sit on the couch side by side with her. She folds her legs so she can face him as they sit side by side.

Mac ask “I am feeling a little lost. How does this thing work? What does it do?" Mac picks up one leg so he can look at Mynxs sitting side saddled on the couch.

“It is complicated, just put on the helmet and wait a moment as the program loads."

Once both partners have the helmets on and the game has heated up the two are seemingly transported to a majestic looking mountain side spring. There is a pagoda and spirit chains wrapped around the near by trees. Bamboo water clocks are on all sides of them. thick fog fills the air clouding their vision at first.

Mac sees Mynxs, her outfit has morphed so she is in a black housecoat with a red belt. Mynxs grabs Mac wrapping her arms around his chest hugging him. Her tail lashes playfully, she looks up and touches her muzzle to the side of Macs face trying to convince him to kiss her.

Mac is unsettled, he places his hands on Mynxs hips with the intention of pushing her backwards a step. But Mynxs takes his hands instead making him reach around her and grip her rump. Mynxs barks happily. She bites at her fathers neck acting in a way Mac can only assume Mynxs learned from Tail when Tail is at her most vulgar .

Mynxs giggles, she is having fun, she reaches her hands into Mac's robe and tries to convince him to slip it off. At the same time, she dips her shoulders down letting her rob slide off of her shoulders exposing her chest to her father.

Mac thrashes about. He is scared and confused by the feelings that the SSMP is sending him. The link between the helmets grows unstable and two are disconnected. Mynxs takes off her helmet and looks disappointed. “you could have at least tickled me for a minunte before logging out."

Mac takes his helmet off. He pants and is sweating. He looks up and down needing a moment to understand what has transpired. Mynxs calms him “It is just a game dad."

Mac looks around. He controls his breathing “that felt very…"

Mynxs finishes his thought “real. Yeah, I know. But it is safe, it is clean. It can let you live out your facntises without risk of getting harmed or harming anyone else. Perfectly ethical. It is the recommended means of releasing sexual tension." She smiles and holds up the helmet ready to reattach them “want to keep going?"

“that is incest."

“not if there is no exchange of bodily fluids it isn't." Mynxs wags her tail, she is jittery, clearly aroused from the few moments of play “do you want to?" she holds up head set to try to convince Mac to continue.

Mac is hesitant, but he is not an unwise man. He knows well that if he doesn't comply, Mynxs is going to find someone else to relieve herself. Mac puts the headset back on “ok, but go slow, I am not very practiced at this."

Mynxs nods with a toothy grin “I will go easy on you."
