Third Healing | [Video]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Hey everyone!

[ It's still in the middle of the triple moon cycle, so now you'll get to see Konoka's... head in all of her deer person glory. Deer ears, small but notable horns, and from what's visible of her neck and shoulders, a little fur. There's some color to her cheeks,]

So I've got a couple of questions.

There were some really cool people I met down in Obscuria but I've only run into one of you since! You probably ran into me as 'Regina'. I wanted to see if you guys were still around!

And secondly, though it's not at all related to the first... how do you guys in Iris deal with being perpetually turned on? I mean, I'd love to ultimate moonlace but I think propositioning people out of the blue would be kinda creepy, and I'd rather be a little more safe, you know? Even if it turns out I'm into some of the riskier stuff. Are there like, toys anywhere I can buy to stave it off if I can't find a good partner?

[ She kinda wished she had one. There's no way she'd talk to Eva about this... right? ]

You know someone there? What's the store like?

[ Konoka followed Kairi to the store in question, intrigued by her knowledge of the store. ]

[princessascended]

Well I don't remember her name or anything, but I'll know her on sight if she's working today. The store's... well, it's really just kinda normal store-like, actually. It's not dingy or seedy-looking or anything like that.

[Indeed, as they turn the corner and arrive at their destination, the store Kairi's leading her into could be mistaken for any other business, save for things like the dildos and mannequins dressed in... interesting ways sitting in the windows.]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[ It was just like Kairi said. It was pretty much a regular store, albeit one with various sex toys lining the halls, and interesting things on the mannequins. Like for instance, what looked like a dildo strapped to someone’s crotch. Was this a… ]

…strap-on…?

[ Konoka stared at it, but not for long. Her eyes were trailing closely to other things. That included… ]

Oh, they sell rope here!

[princessascended]

Oh yeah! I picked up one of those the first time I came here!

[It hasn't seen much use, sadly, but she's still building up to some things.

Konoka's interest in the rope takes her off guard, though.]

Uh, yeah, looks like it. You into that sort of thing...? Tying people up?

[She's never been adventurous enough to try it, herself.]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

I’d seen them, but never up close like this before.

[ She noticed Kairi’s mild surprise. ]

Oh that? Well, a very charming person got me interested in what’s called BDSM. Long story short, it’s about trusting someone to take control of you. Tying people up is the most common way to get a safe kick out of that!

I’m more the person getting tied up, but I wonder what it’s like on the other side sometimes…

[princessascended]

To take control... Huh. Sounds like the sort of thing you'd only do with someone very close.

[Her boys... well, she's not sure how they'd react to the idea of tying her up. Maybe if she suggested binding Riku instead...]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Ah...

[ Could she call herself close with Marie? Or that owl girl that reminded her of Chisame--Futaba? Well, she would probably trust Marie with the world, but that was a different thing. ]

Well, that depends on how well you can trust others. There are people I trust with it already, I guess.

[princessascended]

Maybe you're just braver than I am.

[Her boys are the only ones who come to mind who she'd be comfortable having that much control over her... Well, maybe with Xion, or Aqua and Ven, but she doesn't think they'd be very comfortable with the idea.

Then again, they've surprised her in the past.]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

If you're ever up for it, I could show you how it works. Maybe there's videos so we don't have to use each other?

[ It was just a suggestion, really. ]

Or you could just focus on me.

[princessascended]

[Now that suggestion startled Kairi significantly. She stared at Konoka in surprise for a few moments as her brain tried to get back in gear.]

You'd... trust me with something like this?

[Sure, they've known each other for a while and they had that moment at Obscuria, but this is something pretty big. Or so Kairi thinks, anyway.]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Maybe you might find it a little much, but you’re a cool person. I feel like I can trust you.

[ Konoka gave a sweet, almost chirp-like answer. ]

I figure if you were cool enough to help me down in Obscuria, then I feel like it wouldn’t be a mistake to trust you in things like this.

[princessascended]

I feel like that was more you helping me, but... well, fair enough.

[After all, they were both under the effects of those drinks. It was just a question of which effect was worse, and that was obviously a matter of opinion.]

... You realize I would have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, right?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Well that's why I'm gonna teach you!

[ If Konoka had glasses on her, this would be the moment she put them on and made a show of adjusting them. She had to settle for a light rubbing on the bridge of her nose.

...only to realize that she might have oversold herself and walked back on it slightly. ]

I mean, I am nowhere near an expert, but we can like, figure it out together, right?

[princessascended]

[For a moment, she actually does think that Konoka's got a good handle on this, if nothing else.

So it's a good thing she gives that clarification.]

I guess we can?

[Did she seriously just agree to be Konoka's dom?]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Great!

This might be useful to buy so...

[ She gets the rope anyway. Despite that though, her eyes still wandered. ]

Wonder if they got any how-to books around here...

[princessascended]

If there aren't any here, we can probably look for a bookstore somewhere.

[Lunatia being what it is and all.]

Let's look around a bit more. You might find something else you want, and we still need to pick you up a wand.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Alright!

[ She figured that she might as well not distract herself any further and focus on getting the wand first, which was why she simply made mental note of the bondage stuff and made a straight beeline for that section (she saw them off hand earlier on).

Looking at the selection, they looked... pretty good. But there were also things like vibrators too...! ]

Wow, there's a lot here! Which one do I want?

[princessascended]

[Kairi responds to that with a shrug, looking up and down the aisle.]

I don't even know how to begin answering that. I've got a good idea of what I like, but I'm no expert. You want me to call over an employee?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

That miiiight help actually.

[ Konoka answered. She was looking over one of the options and it had... an overly large amount of settings to say the least. Maybe push her in a simpler direction might help. ]

[princessascended]

Alright, hang on while I- oh hey, I recognize her!

[Immediately Kairi raised her hand to flag down the same lady who'd helped her the first time she'd come in here. With an amused smile of recognition, the woman walked over, arms folded, expression curious.]

Hey, you girls need some help?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[ Konoka stopped poking at the really involved magic wand toy long enough to recognize that the woman was talking to them. Judging by the way Kairi was looking at her, it looked like she was the familiar face she spoke of! Feeling more confident, Konoka spoke up. ]

We do! I'm looking for a good magic wand. You know, to stave off arousal in case I can't find a partner!

[princessascended]

"Stave off"? Oh girl, you're looking at it totally the wrong way. What you need is a plastic friend that'll help you... indulge in Iris's blessings.

[Kairi elects not to speak up about that. Of course the Prismals themselves revere the moons, so they wouldn't accept hearing it be treated like a burden.]

Regardless, put that down, hun. You're new to this, right? So stick with something simple.

[She reaches down and pulls up one with just three buttons. An on-off switch, and two with up and down arrows.]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

I... okay.

[ Konoka immediately put it down, feeling like she'd been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. While she wanted to contest that it wasn't the blessing she had a problem with, it was too complicated for her to want to get into a debate about that. So she took the one the clerk offered, moving her thumb up to the on and off switch. The rumble told her that it was already functional. ]

Oh!

[princessascended]

Got your attention, didn't I? With these, you don't really need to get all complex. The simple version'll do just fine.

[She chuckles and watches Konoka with the wand. Kairi can't help but grin a bit too.]

They make pretty good back massagers, too.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Okay. Cool!

[ With that she could probably just use this! ]

I'll take it.

Is there anything else you'd recommend?

[ Probably dangerous to ask, but at least she wasn't a car salesman, right? ]
