Text - Phase Two

Good afternoon, Moonblessed.

For those who missed my previous post, my name is Naoto and I've been busy further developing a project that finally reached its testing phase three months ago. I'm now announcing that it's time for phase two testing and I require several more volunteers. Though previous testers would be preferred, there's no obligation to participate again if you don't want to.

Contact me for further details, but know that it's primarily for those Iris-blessed.

Thank you.

Thank you, Naoto. That is very considerate of you.

Pray forgive my being forward, but am I to understand that whatever you are testing is meant to alleviate the


[ by the flame is there no way to put this without wanting to die of shame ]

The monthly fever?

Is it safe for me to ask you a question? I have been told that this method of communication tends not to allow for discretion.

I cannot thank you enough for your understanding.

So long as I wouldn’t be imposing, I think that it would be easier were I to ask you in person.

[ Once Ophilia arrives, she raps gently at the building’s front door. ]

Naoto? [ She waits a beat. ] It’s Sister Ophilia. May I come in?

[ The person who answers the door is small, unassuming, and definitely not what she expects Naoto to look like. She tries not to make her surprise obvious, but the way her mouth hangs open betrays her. ]

Water would be nice, thank you.

[ Her eyes wander around the entranceway, where she spots a number of different shoes hanging around at her feet. ]

Should I be taking off my shoes?

[ After unlacing her boots and lining them up with the rest of the shoes by the door, Ophilia pads her way into the living room. The chair she spots first is the one she chooses to take a seat in. ]

You have a lovely home, Naoto.

[ But just as they’re not here to discuss height, they’re not here to discuss interior design either. She clears her throat, sits up properly, and gets straight to the point. ]

I had a few concerns about… erm, what it is you’d like for me to test. Might I be able to take a look at it?

[ Ophilia picks up her glass with a gracious dip of her head and leaves Naoto to her own devices.

In the time it takes for her to fish out whatever it is she's looking for and come back, Ophilia thinks on what she said. ‘We’ and ‘our’—does she live with somebody? Do they know what she’s doing? If they do, are they okay with that? If they don’t, has she ever been caught? Is Ophilia doomed to the same fate?!

She’s so engrossed in thought that Naoto returning takes her by complete surprise. It’s all she can do not to jump out of her seat. ]


Goodness! [ She seems to have jumped a little, though, because half her drink has sloshed out of its glass. Some guest she is. ] I’m so sorry. Did you manage to find it?

Just ‘Ophilia,’ please.

[ Naoto means well, but to suffer titles now—when Ophilia’s asking something wholly inappropriate of her—doesn’t quite sit right with her. A representative of the Order should know better. Self-conscious, she tucks a few loose locks of hair out of her face and mops up the mess she’s made with a handkerchief. ]

I’m so very sorry for all the trouble. I was… distracted. [ Her eyes flit to the non-descript box out before her. ] May I?

[ When she lifts up the lid, she finds…? ]

[ This is simple and unassuming? Ophilia can tell what it is at a glance, even as it rests in its packaging. She flushes with heat as the reality of her situation sets in.

Naoto is asking her to test a sex toy.

Naoto is asking her to test a sex toy.

Naoto is asking her to test a sex toy.

She figured as much, given the context, but seeing it is more powerful an image than thinking it is. After having just laid eyes on that, she can barely manage to put her thoughts in order, let alone string a sentence together. ]


Y-you, erm… mean to tell me that it changes? When in use?

[ Naoto doesn’t need to answer the question; Ophilia’s mind does it for her. It fills the blanks with a hundred distracting possibilities, each one conspiring to leave her more red than the last. ]

[personal profile] clodpole 2019-11-16 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Goodness, no! It isn’t so much that I’m uncomfortable with it so much as it is, erm…

[ Well, she’d be lying if she said she wasn’t at least a little uncomfortable. That’s not what she’s here to ask Naoto about, though. ]

It isn’t… loud, is it? The noise won’t carry through walls, for instance, or disturb anybody else…?
clodpole: (pic#13463385)

[personal profile] clodpole 2019-11-17 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
I-I see…

And before, you mentioned it changing—how would somebody go about, um… making that decision…?
clodpole: (pic#13467432)

[personal profile] clodpole 2019-11-17 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
I-I see…

[ They stew in silence for a moment. Eager to break it, Ophilia fakes a cough. ]

I suppose those were all the questions I had for you. When will you be expecting… feedback?
