<<imgbg "misc/ashford_mansion_cory_office.png" "chars/cory/cory_01.png" "120%" "left" -149 "1200px">> You looked up at the woman reviewing your resume. A stunning blonde in her late 40s but she did not look it at all. But this was not the time to admire her beauty. You needed this job. <<db 'cory'>><<char mc salutation>> <<char mc last_name>>, your resume looks quite impressive. Three years with the special forces... multiple commendations, and merit awards including a Medal of Honor, honorable discharge five years ago... and the next 3 years in private sector. It's quite impressive.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Thank you ma'am.<</db>> <<db 'cory'>>What about the last two years?<</db>> It was an expected question and yet you faltered for a second. <<char 'cory'>> did not miss it. <<db 'cory'>>If it's some super secret mission you can't talk about, I understand.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>No ma'am. It's.. nothing like that. I... I lost somebody. My brother.<</db>> <<db 'cory'>>I'm sorry for your loss.<</db>> She continued. <<db 'cory'>>I'm sure they've briefed you on what the requirements are. You would have to relocate here, live here in the mansion with us, be on duty 24/7.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>You don't have to worry about it, Ma'am. It's just me and my sister-in-law now. I'm sure I can find her a job and accommodation here somewhere.<</db>> <<db 'cory'>>Sorry.. your sister in law? As in your late brother's wife.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Yes ma'am. She... she still hasn't really moved on. Grief can be funny like that.<</db>> <<db 'cory'>>You don't have to tell me.<</db>> <<char 'cory'>> glanced at the photo of her late husband to the side. <<db 'cory'>>Back to the matter... If that's what you are worried about, why don't you bring her here too? I mean it's not like we don't have the space. As for her job, <<char 'cory' 'last_name'>> Group local office is nearby. How about I get her an interview there?<</db>> You looked at <<char 'cory'>> for a second, surprised. <<db 'cory'>>D..did I say something wrong?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>No Ma'am. I just didn't expect you to be so.. generous.<</db>> <<db 'cory'>>Strictly speaking, I'm doing this for my benefit too. It's not easy to get someone with your skills, and you come highly recommended too.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Still, I'm very grateful.<</db>> <<db 'cory'>>So, when can you start?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Just give me a couple of days to settle my affairs back home in order.<</db>> <<db 'cory'>>Alright. Then we'll debrief you on the details of the recent incident that warranted your service once you officially join. Oh, you can just call me <<char 'cory'>> by the way.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Got it Ma.. I mean <<char 'cory'>><</db>> You smiled awkwardly as you left the room. <div class="choice">[[Leave|ip3]]</div>

<h3>StoryInterface</h3> The StoryInterface special passage, used by creating a special passage titled StoryInterface, allows you to override the default UI layout of Sugarcube. At its most basic, it consists of a div with the id "passages" that displays the data from your passages on the screen, as shown in example 1. You can add more complex layouts by adding more elements to this passage, such as menu bars, splash screens, headers and footers, as shown in example 2. Defining these divs is as simple as adding the necessary HTML to the StoryInterface passage; however, note that if a div is assigned a "data-passage" property, you should not add content to it within the StoryInterface passage. This property assigns a passage to that div. In example 2, the div with the id "ui-bar" has the data-passage property "UIBar", meaning it pulls its content data from a passage with the same name. These designations are case-sensitive. If you're just starting out with Twine/Sugarcube, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the language and the UI before working with StoryInterface. ''Example 1'' {{{<div id="passages"></div>}}} ''Example 2'' {{{<div id="ui-bar" data-passage="UIBar"></div>}}} {{{<div id="passages"></div>}}} {{{<div id="footer" data-passage="Footer"></div>}}} This will create a layout with three basic elements: the UI bar, the passage, and the footer. Content for the UI bar is found in the UIBar passage; likewise with the Footer passage & div. <h3>Accessing the UI functions</h3> Using StoryInterface by nature removes the built-in UI bar and the links contained within (Saves, Settings, Restart etc); these can all be replaced using their relevant APIs. The most common & useful of these are listed below. These commands can be placed inside links or buttons. {{{UI.saves() - opens the save UI}}} {{{UI.settings() - opens the settings UI}}} {{{UI.restart() - restarts the game}}} {{{Engine.backward()/Engine.forward() - undoes the previous action and returns the player to the previous passage/moves the player forward one action}}} Similarly to the above, you can use {{{<<back>>}}} to create a button that automatically undoes the last action, or {{{<<return>>}}} to return to the previous passage without undoing any variable changes made. <h3>Dialog functions</h3> You can set up dialog options to pop up upon clicking a link or button, which allows you to share information with the player without adding a new passage to the player's history or changing the state of the game. In order to do this, you need to set up the Dialog box, tell it what passage contains the content you want to display, and optionally, add a title. {{{Dialog.setup("Dialog Box Title");}}} {{{Dialog.wiki(Story.get("PassageName").processText());}}} {{{Dialog.open();}}} Any of these commands can be used in the default layout as well as StoryInterface - if you want extra save buttons, back buttons etc. <<back "Return">> <<link "Settings">><<script>>UI.settings();<</script>><</link>> <<button "Saves">><<script>>UI.saves();<</script>><</button>>

Relieved that you had gotten the job, you began the long drive back to the airport. The scenery blurred past as your mind wandered. <<vid 'misc/car_inside.mp4'>> <<db 'mc'>>(Sigh) <<char 'alexa'>> will be so relieved when she hears the news.<</db>> Your brother and <<char 'alexa'>> had been high school sweethearts who married young. They were genuinely happy together... the kind of relationship you had always hoped to find one day. Then your brother died in a tragic accident. Since that day, it had been just the two of you. Despite everyone, including you, urging her to move on, <<char 'alexa'>> refused. She stayed, keeping your brother's last name. The two of you helped each other through the crushing grief and became the only family either of you had left. She was the first to pull herself together and return to her old dead-end office job, one she was vastly overqualified for. She never judged you for taking longer to recover. Instead, she told you to take all the time you needed. After burning through most of your savings, you eventually took a job at the local grocery store owned by your neighbor, <<char 'priya'>>. Another person you owed a great deal. It was thanks to their encouragement that you reached out to your old private security contacts. After several failed interviews, this opportunity finally came through, personal security for <<char 'dani'>> <<char 'dani' 'last_name'>>, the eldest daughter of the <<char 'cory' 'last_name'>> family and step-daughter to <<char 'cory'>>, the family matriarch. Anonymous stalker letters had made the position necessary. Now it felt like the stars were finally aligning: a chance to start over and leave behind the town where you had experienced both your best and worst memories. <div class="choice">[[Back home|ip4]]</div>

It was a long flight from Veilstone city back home. By the time you landed, it was already the next morning. You drove straight home, eager to share the good news with <<char 'alexa'>>. <<img 'misc/mc_house.jpg'>> A bittersweet feeling washed over you as you stood in front of the house. So many joyful moments had happened here… and some painful ones. <<db 'mc'>>(Sigh)<i> I guess I just missed her. She's already at work.</i><</db>> Just then, you noticed your neighbor waving at you from across the street. No doubt she was eager to hear how the interview went. <<db 'mc'>>I'm coming, <<char 'priya'>>.<</db>> <div class="choice">[[Go over|ip5]]</div>

As you walked over to her house, your mind drifted back to your first encounter with <<char 'priya'>>. She had moved to town from Veilstone City after a messy divorce, seeking a fresh start away from her ex-husband and ungrateful kids. It was only a month after your brother's passing. Like a good neighbor, you helped her move in carrying boxes and arranging furniture. In return, she invited you over for coffee. The entire time, she dropped very obvious hints that she wanted more than just friendship. You shut them down for obvious reasons. Once she learned why, she apologized. Since then she had been a good neighbor… though she still occasionally dropped hints when the mood struck her. She later landed a teaching job at the local high school. Using her divorce settlement, she also opened the grocery store... mostly to bring the city conveniences she missed into this small town. That same store had employed you for the last year and a half. And now, here you stood in her living room, preparing to say goodbye. <<imgbg "misc/priya_living_room.png" "chars/priya/priya_01.png" "200%" "left" -500 "1200px">> <<db 'priya'>>So, how'd it go? Am I finally rid of your lazy ass, or did you screw it up again?<</db>> Despite her nonchalant attitude, you knew she cared more than almost anyone else besides <<char 'alexa'>>. That only made this harder. <<db 'mc'>>I got the job.<</db>> <<char 'priya'>>'s face lit up. <<db 'priya'>>You did? That's great! Now I can finally hire some competent employees.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Speaking of employment, shouldn't you be terrorizing kids at school right now?<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>I figured those little devils could survive one day without staring at my tits while pretending to care about my lessons. So I took the day off.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>(clearing throat) Anyway… This is basically my resignation.<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>So I guess it's going to be just me and <<char 'alexa'>> from now on, huh?<</db>> Of course <<char 'priya'>> and <<char 'alexa'>> had become best friends despite the age gap. <<db 'mc'>>About that… <<char 'alexa'>> will also be coming with me. My new boss offered to arrange a much better job for her in Veilstone.<</db>> <<char 'priya'>> tried to hide it, but her poker face had never been good. You could clearly see the sadness in her eyes. <<db 'priya'>>I see...<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Are you alright, <<char 'priya'>>?<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>Yeah… I'm alright. I've told her many times that this suburban life is for middle-aged divorcees like me. A woman like her should be out there making something of herself in the city.<</db>> She forced a smile, but you could tell she was feeling down. <<db 'mc'>>Is there anything I can do for you before we leave?<</db>> She contemplated your polite question for a moment longer than expected. <<db 'priya'>>You know what? There is something you can do for me.<</db>> She slowly raised the hem of her black dress, revealing her panties and the tops of her thigh-high stockings. <<imgbg "misc/priya_living_room.png" "chars/priya/priya_02.png" "200%" "left" -450 "1200px">> Her eyes shone with clear desire... even stronger than the first time you had seen it. The timing had never been right before. Sleeping with your boss was complicated… a painful lesson you learned early in your private security career. But now she was no longer your boss. And this might be the last chance you get. <div class="choice"><<wt_hint green>>[[Kiss her|ip5_priya_sex]]</div> <div class="choice">[[Say goodbye|ip5_priya_kiss_goodbye]]</div>

<<set $storyflags['ip5_priya_sex']=true>> You stepped closer. <<char 'priya'>> immediately lunged forward, crashing into you with unrestrained hunger. You caught her in your arms as she wrapped her legs around your waist, kissing you with wild, pent-up passion. Her body pressed desperately against yours, years of suppressed desire exploding all at once. Your hands roamed her back, pulling her even tighter as you carried her to the bedroom. Clothes were shed in a heated frenzy. Before long, you were lying on your back while <<char 'priya'>> eagerly took you into her mouth. <<vid 'intro/ip5_priya_sex_01.mp4'>> <<db 'mc'>>Ahhh... fuck, yes...<</db>> She was incredibly skilled, the kind of pleasure that only came with experience. <<db 'mc'>><i>I pity the fool who let a woman like her go.</i><</db>> <<vid 'intro/ip5_priya_sex_02.mp4'>> She worked you with long, deep strokes, her tongue swirling around the head before taking you deep again, her cheeks hollowing as she sucked hungrily. <<db 'mc'>>God… why the hell didn’t I do this sooner...<</db>> She pulled back just long enough to answer with a wicked smile. <<db 'priya'>>Because you’re an idiot. But better late than never.<</db>> She slipped out of her dress and panties in one fluid motion, then climbed on top of you, straddling your face. Leaning forward, she wrapped her soft, heavy breasts around your throbbing shaft. In perfect 69 position, you finally tasted her for the first time while she eagerly worked her tits up and down your length. <<vid 'intro/ip5_priya_sex_03.mp4'>> <<db 'priya'>>Mmm… just like that...<</db>> She soon slid off and lay in the center of the bed, pushing her breasts together invitingly. <<db 'priya'>>Come on, <<char 'mc'>>. Fuck my tits with that big cock.<</db>> <<vid 'intro/ip5_priya_sex_04.mp4'>> You thrust between her soft, warm cleavage as she squeezed them tightly around you. The sight was intoxicating. You leaned down, kissing her deeply with raw lust before pulling her on top of you again. She guided your hardness to her dripping entrance and sank down with a long, throaty moan. <<db 'priya'>>Fuck… it feels so much bigger inside me…!<</db>> <<vid 'intro/ip5_priya_sex_05.mp4'>> You gripped her hips and thrust upward, building a steady rhythm. Her moans grew louder as she rode you, leaning forward to kiss you passionately. In one swift motion, you flipped her onto her back, spreading her legs wide and driving back into her slick heat. <<vid 'intro/ip5_priya_sex_06.mp4'>> <<db 'priya'>>Yes! Fuck me harder… harder!<</db>> <<vid 'intro/ip5_priya_sex_07.mp4'>> You pounded into her relentlessly, her moans turning into loud, lustful cries. Her walls clenched around you with every deep thrust. <<db 'priya'>>Can I get on top again?<</db>> You kissed her fiercely, then rolled aside. <<db 'mc'>>Climb on, <<char 'priya'>>.<</db>> She mounted you in reverse cowgirl, impaling herself on your full length. You gripped her thick thighs and thrust up hard, the sound of your bodies slapping together filling the room. <<vid 'intro/ip5_priya_sex_08.mp4'>> She soon started complimenting your moves, bouncing on your cock, taking in every bit of pleasure you gave her <<vid 'intro/ip5_priya_sex_09.mp4'>> You soon pushed her forward onto all fours, taking her from behind. Her massive ass rippled with every powerful thrust as you drove deep. <<vid 'intro/ip5_priya_sex_10.mp4'>> <<db 'priya'>>Just like that… don’t stop!<</db>> <<vid 'intro/ip5_priya_sex_11.mp4'>> She suddenly turned, pushing you onto your back again. <<db 'priya'>>I want to taste myself on your cock.<</db>> <<vid 'intro/ip5_priya_sex_12.mp4'>> She took you deep into her mouth once more, sucking with passionate hunger. Then, with a sultry look, she lay on her side, lifting one leg high. <<db 'priya'>>Come here and take me, <<char 'mc'>>.<</db>> <<vid 'intro/ip5_priya_sex_13.mp4'>> You slid back inside her, gripping her hip as you thrust with increasing urgency. The pressure quickly built to its peak. <<db 'mc'>>I’m getting close… where do you want it?<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>Cum all over my tits… I want to feel it on me.<</db>> You pulled out and moved over her. With a deep groan, you erupted across her chest and neck in thick, hot ropes. <<vid 'intro/ip5_priya_sex_14.mp4'>> <<db 'priya'>>Mmm… look at the mess you made.<</db>> After she licked the last drops from your shaft, you both collapsed onto the bed, breathing heavily. <div class="choice">[[Continue|ip5_priya_after_sex]]</div>

You stepped closer, gently kissed her on the cheek as if you hadn’t noticed the suggestive way she had lifted her dress, and calmly stepped back. <<db 'mc'>>Goodbye, <<char 'priya'>>.<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>So that’s a no, huh? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. You’re persistent if nothing else.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I’m sorry.<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>If you ever change your mind… or you need to get away from the city and that job, I’ll be here for you.<</db>> She accepted your decision with grace. The tension in the air slowly faded as the weight of the moment settled between you. You had made your choice, and she respected it. You left her house shortly after, carrying the bittersweet feeling of closing one chapter of your life. <div class="choice">[[Continue|ip6]]</div>

<<img 'misc/mc_house.jpg'>> You returned home and immediately called <<char 'alexa'>>. She had been waiting anxiously for news, and you knew she’d be thrilled, especially at the chance to finally leave her dead-end job behind and start fresh. You picked up your phone and dialed her number. She answered on the second ring. <<ph 'alexa'>>So… how’d it go?<</ph>> <<ph 'mc'>>I got it!<</ph>> <<ph 'alexa'>>Oh my god! Really?!<</ph>> <<ph 'mc'>>There’s more. I need you to quit your job.<</ph>> <<ph 'alexa'>>What?<</ph>> <<ph 'mc'>>Just put in your two weeks’ notice.<</ph>> <<ph 'alexa'>><<char 'mc'>>… What’s going on?<</ph>> <<ph 'mc'>>You’re coming with me to the city. I’ll explain everything when you get home.<</ph>> <<ph 'alexa'>>Fine… I’ll do it.<</ph>> <<ph 'mc'>>Great.<</ph>> <<db 'mc'>><i>Now that that’s taken care of, time to pack my stuff.</i><</db>> Since you had nothing to do, you waited for <<char 'alexa'>>. A little later, you saw <<char 'alexa'>> running toward you. You got up from the couch, and she hugged you tightly. <<db alexa>>Oh my god! I'm so happy you got the job.<</db>> She then let go and composed herself. <<imgbg "misc/mc_house_living_room.png" "chars/alexa/alexa_01.png" "200%" "left" -500 "1200px">> <<db 'mc'>><<char 'alexa'>>? You’re home already?<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>Yeah. I got myself fired. No point hanging around there anymore, right?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>You what?<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>You told me to quit. I figured getting fired was better... saves me the two weeks’ notice.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>How’d you manage that?<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>I told my boss I’d inform his wife about him sleeping with his secretary if he didn’t let me go immediately.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Damn… I knew you complained about the guy, but he’s actually cheating on his wife too?<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>Yup. Last week I walked in on them going at it in the storage room.<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>So… care to explain why I just got myself fired?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>The job requires me to live on-site with the <<char 'cory' 'last_name'>> family 24/7. I spoke with my new boss and she agreed to let you stay with me. She even arranged an interview for you at their local office. Pretty good deal, right?<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>You’re messing with me, right? They only hire from top universities in the country. So what’s the real story?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I’m telling the truth. I got you an interview with the <<char 'cory' 'last_name'>> Group. I’m pretty great, aren’t I?<</db>> She paused, thinking it over. <<db 'alexa'>>Even so… there’s no guarantee I’ll get it. That’s the freaking <<char 'cory' 'last_name'>> Group.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>You’re one of the smartest people I know. Don’t sell yourself short. This could be the fresh start we both need.<</db>> She mulled over your words for a moment, her expression shifting. <<db 'alexa'>>So… what happens now?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>My original plan was to go ahead first and have you follow after your notice period, but since you’ve already handled that… we can leave together.<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>I’m not talking about us. What about this place? It’s your home. What are you planning to do with it?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>We’ll close it up for now. We can figure out the rest once we’re settled there.<</db>> You watched <<char 'alexa'>> carefully as different emotions crossed her face... excitement, nervousness, and the weight of saying goodbye to the only home she had left. <div class="choice">[[Continue|ip7]]</div>

The two of you lay tangled in the sheets, breathing slowly returning to normal. Your mind was still buzzing from the intense encounter. <<char 'priya'>> turned her head toward you, wearing a deeply satisfied smile. <<db 'priya'>>We could have been doing this the whole time, you know.<</db>> You couldn’t help but chuckle. <<db 'mc'>>I know… I know. I’m an idiot.<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>I’m gonna miss you, <<char 'mc'>>.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I’m gonna miss you too, <<char 'priya'>>.<</db>> She gave you a warm, slightly sad smile. <<db 'priya'>>You know… if the city ever gets too much, or if your new job becomes overwhelming and you need to escape for a while… my door is always open. Remember that.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I will.<</db>> You lay side by side for a few quiet minutes, simply enjoying each other’s presence. Then, with a playful grin, you reached over and cupped her large breasts, giving them a firm, appreciative squeeze. <<char 'priya'>> let out a surprised yelp, followed by a laugh. You leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead one last time. Reluctantly, you got up, gathered your clothes from the floor, and began dressing. This chapter with her had probably closed, but who knows... <div class="choice">[[Continue|ip6]]</div>

<<db 'alexa'>>So, when do we leave?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I'm all packed and ready. I can book us tickets whenever you want.<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>What about your job at the store? And <<char 'priya'>>?<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>You guys are really in a hurry to ditch poor old me, huh?<</db>> You turned around to see <<char 'priya'>> walking in with her usual confident stride. <<imgbg "misc/mc_house_living_room.png" "chars/priya/priya_01.png" "200%" "left" -500 "chars/alexa/alexa_01.png" "200%" "right" -500 "1200px">> <<db 'alexa'>>Hey, <<char 'priya'>>.

Isn’t that right, <<char 'mc'>>?<</db>> She looked at you with a mischievous, teasing smile. All you could do was smile back and nod. <<else>> <<db 'priya'>>Yeah. I caught him on the way back earlier.<</db>> <</if>> <<db 'alexa'>>I see.<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>So when are you planning to leave?<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>We were just discussing that.<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>In that case, how about we have a little celebration before you go?<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>You know what? I could really use a drink. What about you, <<char 'mc'>>?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Would it matter if I said no?<</db>> <<char 'alexa'>> and <<char 'priya'>> both burst into laughter. <<db 'alexa'>>Nope. But I like letting you think it does.<</db>> Whenever these two got together, you always ended up as their favorite target. The main reason they became best friends so quickly was their shared love of teasing you. <<db 'mc'>>You do remember I’m older than you, right <<char 'alexa'>>? Not to mention that I am the man of the house?<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>Sure thing, <<char 'mc'>>. Now let’s get wasted.<</db>> There was no stopping them once they were in this mood. With a resigned smile, you gave in. <<db 'mc'>>Fine.<</db>> You brought the beers from the fridge while <<char 'alexa'>> went to the kitchen to grab some snacks. <<db 'priya'>>So… what should we toast to?<</db>> <div class="choice"><<wt_hint green>>[[New Beginnings|ip7_toast_to_new_beginnings]]</div> <div class="choice">[[Letting Go|ip7_toast_to_letting_go]]</div>

Usually, <<char 'alexa'>> drank in moderation, but tonight she was clearly sticking to her word about getting wasted. <<db 'mc'>>That’s your third one, <<char 'alexa'>>. Maybe you should slow down a bit?<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>Hmm? Are you gonna take my drink away from me, mister man of the house?<</db>> She giggled, clearly enjoying teasing you. <<db 'priya'>>Let her be, <<char 'mc'>>.

What’s life in the city actually like? We’ve barely left this town our whole lives.<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>That’s not entirely true. <<char 'mc'>> has been to other countries.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Yeah… the army usually drops us in places so we can kill bad guys. Not exactly a sightseeing trip. Private security wasn’t much better for sightseeing either.<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>Well, in that case, I can tell you this: everyone in the city is always running. Running toward something, running from something. And people aren’t always what they seem. Truth be told, I’m a little worried about you, <<char 'alexa'>>. I know <<char 'mc'>> can handle himself.<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>You don’t have to worry about me. If anything happens, I’ve got <<char 'mc'>> with me.<</db>> The night continued with plenty of laughter, drinking, and nostalgic stories. After her fourth beer, it was clear <<char 'alexa'>> had reached her limit. <<db 'alexa'>> <<char 'mc'>>… I don’t feel so good.<</db>> Her face had gone pale. She looked like she was about to throw up any second. <<db 'mc'>>Oh crap.<</db>> You quickly moved over, scooped her into your arms, and rushed her to the kitchen bathroom. <<db 'mc'>>Hang on…<</db>> You held her hair back just in time as she started hurling into the toilet. <<db 'mc'>>This is exactly why I told you to take it easy.<</db>> She was too out of it to argue. After she finished, you cleaned her up, carried her to her room, and gently tucked her into bed. Only once you were sure she was alright did you head back to the living room. <<imgbg "misc/mc_house_living_room.png" "chars/priya/priya_01.png" "200%" "left" -500 "1200px">> <<db 'priya'>>I was wondering why you guys were taking so long. Where is she?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Oh, she’s done for the night. Sleeping it off in her room.<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>I guess it’s just you and me still standing, then.<</db>> Usually, <<char 'priya'>> would be putting the moves on you in a situation like this. But tonight felt different. This might truly be the last time the three of you hung out like this. You both sat down on the couch, pleasantly buzzed. <<db 'priya'>>Can I ask you something, <<char 'mc'>>?<</db>> Her tone had shifted. It was more serious than usual. <<db 'mc'>>Sure.<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>Have you ever considered <<char 'alexa'>> as something more…?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Something more? What do you mean?<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>I mean… as something more than your late brother’s widow.<</db>> You couldn’t help but laugh. <<db 'mc'>>What? That’s crazy. Where are you even getting this from, <<char 'priya'>>?<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>When I first moved in, I actually thought you two were a married couple. And even now… the way you instantly sprang into action, carrying her like that… it made me wonder.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Okay, I think the beer is getting to you. Maybe you should slow down too.<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>Maybe you’re right. But if you ask me, it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. You two already know each other better than most couples I’ve seen. You genuinely care about one another.<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>Maybe you should give it some serious thought.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>That’s it. I’m cutting you off. No more beer for you.<</db>> You reached over and took the bottle from her hand. <<db 'priya'>>Fine. It’s getting late anyway. I should head back.<</db>> She stood up, opened the front door, and let the warm evening sunlight pour in for a moment before stepping out and closing it behind her. You finished your own bottle and started cleaning up. As you stood at the sink washing the dishes, <<char 'priya'>>’s words kept echoing in your head. <<db 'mc'>><i>Do <<char 'alexa'>> and I really look like a married couple?</i><</db>> You shook the thought away almost immediately. <<db 'mc'>><i>What the hell am I even thinking? It’s just the alcohol... and <<char 'priya'>> messing with my head. I just need to sleep this off.</i><</db>> You abandoned the rest of the dishes in the sink and headed to your room. <<img 'misc/mc_house_living_room.jpg'>> <<db 'mc'>><i>I’m gonna miss this room when I’m gone…</i><</db>> <div class="choice">[[Sleep|ip9]]</div>

Aside from the occasional drink, you had never been a big fan of alcohol. But after your brother’s passing, it became one of your few solaces… among other things. Now, it was finally time to leave all of that behind. With that thought lingering in your mind, everything faded to black as sleep claimed you. However, what happened next was something you could never have expected. Your vision suddenly returned with a bright, disorienting flash. <<vid 'intro/ip9_alexa_solo_dream_1.mp4'>> <<db 'mc'>><<char 'alexa'>>? What’s happening?<</db>> <div class="choice">[[Wake up|ip9_alexa_dream_abrupt_end]]</div> <div class="choice"><<wt_hint green>>[[Continue|ip9_alexa_solo_dream]]</div>

<<set $storyflags['ip9_alexa_dream_abrupt_end']=true>> You practically jumped out of bed, heart racing. <<db 'mc'>><i>Damn it, <<char 'priya'>>! Why did you have to put those thoughts in my head?</i><</db>> <<db 'mc'>><i>No… That never happened. I’m just going to move forward like before. <<char 'alexa'>> is my sister-in-law… nothing more, nothing less.</i><</db>> You glanced at the clock. It was already morning. Still shaken, you headed straight into the shower, trying your best to wash away the lingering images from the dream. <div class="choice">[[Living Room|ip10]]</div>

<<set $storyflags['ip9_alexa_solo_dream']=true>> <<db 'mc'>><i>Is this a dream?

You stepped into the living room. <<char 'alexa'>> was already up and sitting on the couch. The moment she saw you, she sprang to her feet, visibly trying to hide her embarrassment. <<imgbg "misc/mc_house_living_room.png" "chars/alexa/alexa_02.png" "151%" "left" -220 "1200px">> <<db 'alexa'>><<char 'mc'>>… What happened yesterday? I didn’t do anything stupid, did I?<</db>> The look on her face told you she knew something had happened, but not the full details. <<db 'mc'>>You don’t remember?<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>I remember drinking… then waking up in my bed this morning feeling like death.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>You drank way too much and nearly threw up on the carpet. I managed to get you to the bathroom in time, then carried you to bed.<</db>> She looked down, clearly embarrassed. <<db 'alexa'>>Sorry…<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Don’t worry about it.<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>Still… I’m grateful you took care of me.<</db>> She reached out and placed her hand on your shoulder. You instinctively jerked back. <<db 'alexa'>>What the hell? I already showered, jerk!<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>That’s not why I…<</db>> You couldn’t tell her the real reason... that vivid dream still fresh in your mind made you react without thinking. <<db 'mc'>>Never mind.<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>So… what’s the plan?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I’ll book us tickets for tonight. Start packing your stuff while I take care of a few things around here.<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>Alright. But before we leave, I want us to say goodbye to <<char 'alvin'>>.<</db>> Hearing your brother’s name brought the guilt from this morning rushing back. <<db 'mc'>>Okay… Let me just step out for a moment.<</db>> <div class="choice">[[Leave|ip11]]</div>

You looked down at your crotch and realized the vivid dream had caused a very obvious physical reaction... including making a mess. Suddenly, a wave of shame and guilt crashed over you. <<db 'mc'>><i>Fantasizing about my brother’s widow… I’m so pathetic.</i><</db>> You got out of bed and checked the clock. It was already morning. Shaking your head in disgust at yourself, you went to the bathroom to clean up and wash away the evidence of your dream. <<db 'mc'>><i>Damn it <<char 'priya'>>! Why did you have to put those thoughts in my head?</i><</db>> <<db 'mc'>><i>No… This never happened. I’m just going to go on like before. <<char 'alexa'>> is my sister-in-law… nothing more, nothing less.</i><</db>> <div class="choice">[[Living Room|ip10]]</div>

Your destination was obvious... the local bar and grill, to close out your tab one last time. <<img 'misc/countryside_bar_and_grill.jpg'>> <<db 'mc'>>I sure am gonna miss this place…<</db>> Even though it was only ten in the morning, you walked in for one last drink. You took a seat at the bar, ordered your usual, and sat quietly nursing it, reflecting on the new job, recent events, and the uncertain future waiting for you in Veilstone City. You noticed someone approaching. <<db 'kalina'>>Mind if I sit here?<</db>> You looked up. <<imgbg "misc/countryside_bar_and_grill.jpg" "chars/kalina/kalina_01.png" "150%" "left" -200 "1200px">> <<db 'mc'>>Sorry?<</db>> <<db 'kalina'>>Oh, where are my manners? I’m <<char 'kalina'>>. Since there’s only the two of us here, I thought we could share a table instead of sitting alone.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I don’t mind at all. Grab a seat.<</db>> She sat down gracefully and ordered food for both of you. <<db 'kalina'>>So, what’s a guy like you doing in a place like this at this hour?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>It’s my last day in town. Figured I’d have one final drink before I leave. What about you? I haven’t seen you around here before.<</db>> <<db 'kalina'>>You hang out here often?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>More than I probably should.<</db>> The food soon arrived. <<db 'kalina'>>Let’s dig in. To answer your question, I’m just traveling through. Wanted to experience some real countryside before heading back. So… what’s pulling you away from this charming little town?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>New job in the city.<</db>> <<db 'kalina'>>New job, huh? That sounds exciting. What kind of work are you getting into, if you don’t mind me asking?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Logistics coordinator for a small company.<</db>> <<db 'kalina'>>Logistics… Interesting. You don’t really look like the typical office type. No offense. You seem more like someone who’s seen a bit of the world.<</db>> She tilted her head slightly, studying you with a soft, curious smile. <<db 'kalina'>>Most people who move to the city at your age are either running toward something… or running away from something. Which one are you, <<char 'mc'>>?<</db>> She leaned in just a little, her voice warm and engaging. <<db 'kalina'>>You have this calm but… alert energy about you. Like you’ve done more than just stack shelves at a grocery store. Am I right?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I’ve been around a bit.<</db>> <<db 'kalina'>>Hmm… mysterious. I like that. Most guys are too eager to talk about themselves. You’re different.<</db>> She gave you a playful, almost admiring look before continuing. <<db 'kalina'>>So this new job… is it just you moving? Or is there a girlfriend… wife… someone special coming with you to the big city?<</db>> She smiled sweetly while taking a sip of her drink, making the question feel casual even though her eyes were clearly searching for answers. <<db 'mc'>>I’m moving alone.<</db>> <<db 'kalina'>>Alone? Hmm… that’s surprising.<</db>> She gave you a soft, playful smile. <<db 'kalina'>>A man like you should have someone waiting for him somewhere. Or at least a few broken hearts left behind in this town.<</db>> You felt your suspicion slowly rising. She was charming, but her questions were carefully placed. <<db 'mc'>>Just focused on work.<</db>> <<db 'kalina'>>Work… I see. It must be something important if it’s pulling you away from everything you know.<</db>> She rested her chin lightly on her hand, observing you with gentle curiosity. <<db 'kalina'>>You don’t really strike me as the average small-town guy. There’s something about the way you carry yourself. Calm… but always aware. It makes me wonder what kind of life you’ve had before deciding to pack up and leave.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Just the usual ups and downs.<</db>> <<db 'kalina'>>Most people say that. But something tells me your “usual” is a lot more interesting than you’re letting on.<</db>> She smiled warmly, as if she were simply making friendly conversation. <<db 'kalina'>>Moving to a big city like Veilstone for a logistics job… that’s quite a big step. It takes courage to leave everything familiar behind. Or maybe you’re running toward something exciting?<</db>> Her tone stayed light and flirtatious, but you could sense she was carefully studying your reactions. <<db 'kalina'>>Either way, I hope the city treats you well. It can be lonely when you don’t know anyone…<</db>> She took a slow sip of her drink before adding with a charming smile: <<db 'kalina'>>If you ever feel like talking to someone who knows the city, I wouldn’t mind hearing how your new adventure is going. Sometimes it helps to have a friend in a new place.<</db>> She slid her phone gently across the table. <<db 'kalina'>>No pressure, of course.<</db>> You gave a small nod but didn’t reach for the phone. <<char kalina>> didn’t seem bothered by your hesitation. She leaned back slightly and looked at you with soft eyes. <<db 'kalina'>>Actually… I’m staying at the inn nearby.<</db>> <<db 'kalina'>>I was planning to head back there soon and have a drink. It’s quiet and private.<</db>> She gave you a warm, inviting smile. <<db 'kalina'>>If you’re not in a rush… you should come with me. We could continue this conversation somewhere more comfortable, just the two of us. No noise, no interruptions.<</db>> <<db 'kalina'>>We’re both leaving town soon anyway. Might as well enjoy a little company before we go our separate ways.<</db>> You took a careful look at her. Her fitted dress left very little room to hide anything. Still, old habits died hard... there was always a chance this could be a setup. <div class="choice"><<wt_hint green>>[[Go with her|ip11_go_with_kalina]]</div> <div class="choice">[[Reject her offer|ip11_reject_kalina]]</div>

<<set $storyflags['ip11_go_with_kalina']=true>> You paused for a moment, carefully thinking it over. Judging by her approach and demeanor, an ambush seemed unlikely. She was probably doing reconnaissance more than anything else. <<db 'mc'>>You know what? I could actually use some quiet company right now. You seem like you’d be good at that.<</db>> <<char 'kalina'>>’s face brightened with a satisfied smile. <<db 'kalina'>>I’m glad you think so.<</db>> She stood up gracefully and reached for her purse to pay the bill, but you raised your hand. <<db 'mc'>>Let me get this.<</db>> <<db 'kalina'>>Well, aren’t you a gentleman? I like that.<</db>> She gave you an appreciative smile as you closed out your own tab at the bar. Once everything was settled, the two of you left the bar together. <<db 'kalina'>>Shall we?<</db>> You nodded and walked out with her, heading toward the inn nearby. <div class="choice">[[Continue|ip11_kalina_sex]]</div>

<<set $storyflags['ip11_reject_kalina']=true>> You offered her a polite smile and shook your head. <<db 'mc'>>I appreciate the offer, but I have to pass. I still have a lot of packing left to do before tonight.<</db>> <<db 'kalina'>>That’s too bad…<</db>> She looked genuinely disappointed for a moment, but quickly recovered with a warm, understanding smile. <<db 'kalina'>>Maybe another time then. It was nice meeting you, <<char 'mc'>>. Good luck with your new life in the city.<</db>> <<char 'kalina'>> stood up gracefully, placed some cash on the table to cover the bill, and gave you one last lingering look. <<db 'kalina'>>Take care of yourself.<</db>> With that, she turned and walked out of the bar, leaving behind a faint trace of her perfume. <div class="choice">[[Continue|ip12]]</div>

You made your way back home, the afternoon sun hanging low in the sky. As you stepped inside, you found <<char 'alexa'>> in the living room surrounded by suitcases and boxes, doing some last-minute packing. <<imgbg "misc/mc_house_living_room.png" "chars/alexa/alexa_02.png" "150%" "left" -250 "1200px">> <<db 'mc'>>Hey. You ready to go?<</db>> <<char 'alexa'>> looked up at you and gave a small smile. <<db 'alexa'>>Almost… Just trying to decide what I actually want to take with me.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Let me help you with the rest.<</db>> You rolled up your sleeves and joined her. For the next while, the two of you worked together in comfortable silence... folding clothes, sealing boxes, and deciding what to leave behind. As you taped up the final box, you decided to bring up the encounter from earlier. <<db 'mc'>>Hey, <<char 'alexa'>>… Have you run into any Asian woman around town recently? Someone you don’t know?<</db>> <<char 'alexa'>> paused for a moment, thinking. <<db 'alexa'>>No, not that I can remember. Why do you ask?<</db>> You shook your head lightly. <<db 'mc'>>It’s nothing for you to worry about. Just something I’m checking.<</db>> She gave you a slightly suspicious look but didn’t press the issue. You finished the last bit of packing in silence. Once everything was done, a heavy feeling settled over the house. You exchanged a glance with <<char 'alexa'>>. You both knew what came next. <<db 'mc'>>It’s time to say goodbye to him.<</db>> <<char 'alexa'>> nodded quietly, her expression turning somber. <div class="choice">[[Leave|ip13]]</div>

<<set $storyflags['ip11_kalina_sex']=true>> The walk to the inn was short but charged with tension. Neither of you spoke much, but the occasional glance and knowing smile from <<char 'kalina'>> said everything. When you reached her room, she slid the keycard in and pushed the door open. The moment the door clicked shut behind you, the restraint vanished. <<char 'kalina'>> turned toward you, but you were already moving. You pulled her close and kissed her hard, your mouth claiming hers with raw hunger. She moaned into the kiss, her hands immediately grabbing your shirt. You pushed her against the wall, deepening the kiss as your tongues danced aggressively. Your hands roamed her body, sliding down her sides before gripping the hem of her dress. In one swift motion, you pulled it up and over her head, tossing it aside. She wasn’t wearing a bra. Her breasts spilled free as she worked frantically on your belt. You helped her, shedding your shirt and kicking off your pants, leaving both of you nearly naked in seconds. You lifted her effortlessly, her legs wrapping around your waist as you carried her to the bed. You laid her down and climbed on top, pinning her beneath you. <<char 'kalina'>>’s breathing was already ragged as you kissed her neck, then lower, sucking on her breasts while your hand slipped between her thighs, finding her soaking wet. <<db 'kalina'>>Fuck… you don’t waste time, do you?<</db>> You answered by kissing her fiercely again, then moved down her body. But <<char 'kalina'>> had other ideas. With surprising strength, she pushed you onto your back and straddled you for a moment, grinding against your hard cock before sliding lower. She looked up at you with lust-filled eyes as she wrapped her fingers around your shaft. <<db 'kalina'>>I’ve been thinking about this since I sat down at your table…<</db>> Without another word, she lowered her head and took you into her warm, wet mouth. Her lips sealed tightly around your cock as she began sucking you with slow, deep strokes, her tongue swirling around the head before taking you deeper. You groaned, one hand sliding into her hair as she bobbed her head, eagerly working more of your length into her mouth. The wet sounds of her sucking filled the room as she pleasured you with surprising skill. You shot up from the bed, but <<char 'kalina'>> refused to release you. Her soft lips stayed locked tightly around your cock as she hungrily devoured every inch, sucking with eager, wet devotion. <<vid 'intro/ip11_kalina_sex_01.mp4'>> <<db 'kalina'>>Hnng...<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Hmmm… so fucking good...<</db>> Her mouth felt incredible... warm, skilled, and relentless. The urge to take control overwhelmed you. You slid your hand to the back of her head, fingers tangling in her hair as you pushed deeper into her throat. Lewd, wet glugging sounds echoed through the room while you fucked her face, turning it into a sloppy, drooling mess. Saliva dripped down her chin as you held her down, forcing your thick shaft against the back of her throat. You savored the tight, pulsing heat for a long moment before finally pulling back, letting her gasp desperately for air. <<vid 'intro/ip11_kalina_sex_02.mp4'>> <<db 'mc'>>Turn around. I want you from behind.<</db>> Not giving her time to obey, you flipped her over roughly. Your gaze locked onto her tight, perfect ass. You delivered a sharp smack that left a red imprint, then lined up and buried your cock deep inside her pussy in one powerful thrust. <<char 'kalina'>> cried out sharply as you immediately started pounding her with merciless intensity. <<vid 'intro/ip11_kalina_sex_03.mp4'>> You gripped the back of her neck firmly, using it as leverage to slam her entire body back onto your cock with every brutal thrust. Her moans rapidly escalated into raw, primal screams of pleasure as she began losing all control. <<vid 'intro/ip11_kalina_sex_04.mp4'>> You yanked her back against your chest and claimed her mouth in a hungry, aggressive kiss. <<db 'mc'>>Get on top of me and ride me.<</db>> You dropped back onto the bed. Still dazed and trembling from the pounding, <<char 'kalina'>> climbed over you, positioned your throbbing cock at her soaked entrance, and sank down. She began riding you eagerly, her petite tits bouncing and swaying with every movement. <<vid 'intro/ip11_kalina_sex_05.mp4'>> <<db 'mc'>>Faster! Fuck me faster...<</db>> Driven by your commanding growl, she slammed herself down fully and started grinding hard, rolling her hips in a fast, desperate rhythm that matched her loud, needy moans. <<vid 'intro/ip11_kalina_sex_06.mp4'>> You reached up, grabbed the back of her head, and pulled her into a deep, messy kiss. Your other hand roughly squeezed her tits, pinching her sensitive nipples hard enough to make her yelp into your mouth. Then you pushed her off, letting her fall onto her side. You quickly pinned one of her legs high, spreading her beautiful, dripping pussy wide open. <<db 'kalina'>>I want that cock… give it to me...<</db>> You thrust back into her with raw hunger, pounding deep and hard as seductive moans spilled from her lips. <<vid 'intro/ip11_kalina_sex_07.mp4'>> Still buried to the hilt inside her, you wrapped your arms around her body and rolled onto your back, forcing her into reverse cowgirl. She let out a sharp scream of pleasure as you immediately began slamming up into her without mercy. Once she caught her breath, she started moaning praises between gasps. Lost in overwhelming ecstasy, <<char 'kalina'>>’s fingers frantically rubbed her clit. <<vid 'intro/ip11_kalina_sex_08.mp4'>> The sight and sensation pushed you further. You increased your pace, fucking her harder and faster. <<char 'kalina'>> grew louder and more frantic, her screams mixing with the rapid movements of her fingers on her swollen pussy. <<vid 'intro/ip11_kalina_sex_09.mp4'>> She eventually couldn’t handle the intensity and slid off your cock, collapsing onto the bed in a trembling heap. But you weren’t finished yet. You pinned one of her legs again, drove back inside her slick, clenching heat, and continued pounding her relentlessly. <<vid 'intro/ip11_kalina_sex_10.mp4'>> Her screams turned desperate and broken, yet her body still begged for more. She was utterly insatiable. Eventually your cock slipped out of her, leaving her shaking and reeling from the overwhelming pleasure. <<db 'mc'>>What are you waiting for? Come here and suck my cock.<</db>> You guided her toward you. She eagerly took you back into her mouth, tasting herself all over your throbbing shaft. Like a starving animal, she swallowed you deep, forcing your cock to the back of her throat with every relentless, hungry stroke. <<vid 'intro/ip11_kalina_sex_11.mp4'>> <<db 'mc'>>You ready for more?<</db>> She answered by rolling onto her back, spreading her legs wide, and presenting her glistening, well-fucked pussy to you. You claimed her once again, sliding in deep as her walls clenched tightly around you. You pounded her without mercy, her tits bouncing violently with every powerful impact of your hips. <<vid 'intro/ip11_kalina_sex_12.mp4'>> You kept thrusting until the pressure became unbearable. At the very last moment, you pulled out and erupted across her body; thick, hot ropes of cum splashing onto her face, mouth, chest, and stomach. <<char 'kalina'>> took every drop with a naughty, thoroughly satisfied smile on her face. <<vid 'intro/ip11_kalina_sex_13.mp4'>> <div class="choice">[[Continue|ip11_kalina_after_sex]]</div>

You both collapsed onto the bed, breathing heavily. The room was filled with the scent of sex and the sound of your slowing heartbeats. <<char 'kalina'>> lay on her side facing you, her body glistening with sweat and the evidence of your climax still marking her skin. She traced a lazy finger across your chest, a satisfied smirk playing on her lips. <<db 'kalina'>>Fuck… That was incredible.<</db>> <<db 'kalina'>>I wasn’t expecting you to be that good.

That mouth of yours is dangerous… in the best way.<</db>> The two of you shared a genuine laugh, the tension from earlier melting into a comfortable, post-sex haze. For a moment, comfortable silence settled between you as you both caught your breath.

You sat up on the edge of the bed and began getting dressed. <<char 'kalina'>> watched you with a lazy, satisfied smile. <<db 'mc'>>I should get going.

<<set $storyflags['ip11_kalina_interrogate']=true>> You stayed lying on the bed, casually running your fingers along her arm as if the question you were about to ask was nothing more than pillow talk. <<db 'mc'>>So… who do you really work for?<</db>> <<char 'kalina'>> froze for a split second. That tiny reaction was all the confirmation you needed. Before she could answer, you moved like lightning, flipping her onto her back and pinning both her wrists above her head with one hand. Your body weight kept her firmly trapped beneath you. <<db 'kalina'>>W-what are you talking about?!<</db>> You didn’t loosen your grip, staring down at her calmly. <<db 'mc'>>You heard me. Who do you work for?<</db>> <<db 'kalina'>>I already told you… I do freelance photography for...<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Fine. Don’t talk.<</db>> She immediately started squirming and trying to wiggle free. You noted how weak and untrained her movements were. No real combat experience. You eased the pressure slightly but kept her pinned. <<db 'mc'>>I know you’re not who you say you are. Be careful next time you invite a mark to your bed. Not everyone will be as nice as I am.<</db>> <<char 'kalina'>> stopped struggling. After a few seconds of silence, she let out a defeated sigh. <<db 'kalina'>>…When did you make me?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>A couple of minutes into the conversation. You came on too strong. Too interested.<</db>> <<char 'kalina'>> muttered under her breath. <<db 'kalina'>>Guess I really have lost my edge dealing with corporate idiots for so long…<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I don’t suppose you’ll tell me who you actually work for?<</db>> She gave a small, wry shrug beneath you. <<db 'kalina'>>What do you think?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Yeah… figured as much.<</db>> You released her wrists and got off the bed, reaching for your clothes. <<char 'kalina'>> sat up, clearly surprised. <<db 'kalina'>>Just… like that? You’re letting me go?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Why? Did you like being pinned down that much?<</db>> She didn’t answer. You pulled your shirt on and continued. <<db 'mc'>>There’s no point. You’re not a threat to me. Even if I got rid of you, whoever sent you would just send someone else. Besides…<</db>> You glanced back at her with a faint smirk. <<db 'mc'>>I’m not enough of an asshole to hurt a woman after we just had that good a time together. See you around, <<char 'kalina'>>. Hopefully under better circumstances.<</db>> You grabbed the rest of your things and walked out, leaving a stunned <<char 'kalina'>> sitting naked on the bed, staring after you in silence. <div class="choice">[[Continue|ip12]]</div>

Though you were raised Christian, the horrors you witnessed and the things you did overseas had long since driven you away from God... a rift you still hadn’t been able to mend. Your brother, however, remained a devout Catholic until the very end. The two of you drove in silence to the old church cemetery on the outskirts of town. <<db 'mc'>>You go first.<</db>> <<char 'alexa'>> nodded quietly and walked toward your brother’s grave while you waited by the car. The events of this morning still lingered uncomfortably in your mind. A little while later, she returned, her eyes slightly red but composed. She gave you a small nod. It was your turn. You walked slowly across the grass, each step feeling heavier than the last. Eventually you stopped in front of his gravestone and stood there in silence for a long moment. <<db 'mc'>>Hey little brother… I’m sorry about what happened this morning.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I… I’ll be careful from now on. I promise.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Or if you want to square up about it, come back from the great beyond and haunt me. At least that way I get to see you again.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I’m sure <<char 'alexa'>> already told you… but yeah, it’ll be a while before we come back.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Miss you, man.<</db>> You took a deep breath, then turned and walked back to <<char 'alexa'>>. <<db 'mc'>>You ready to head back?<</db>> She gave you a gentle smile and nodded. The two of you got back in the car and drove home in comfortable silence. Yesterday, between drinks during the celebration, you had asked <<char 'priya'>> to look after the house while you were gone. She had generously agreed and even offered to drive you both to the airport. As expected, she was already waiting for you when you arrived. <<imgbg "misc/mc_house_living_room.png" "chars/priya/priya_03.png" "150%" "left" -500 "chars/alexa/alexa_02.png" "150%" "left" -250 "1200px">> <<db priya>>So, you guys ready to go?<</db>> <<db mc>>Yeah.<</db>> You picked up your suitcases containing your essential stuff and put them in the trunk. <<char priya>> would ship the rest to you later. It was cheaprer that way. <<char alexa>> closed up the house and gave the key to <<char priya>> as she got in the car. You stood by the car, texted <<char cory>>'s personal assistant to let them know you were coming and then turned around, took one good look at the place and got in the car as well. IT was time to leave. <div class="choice">[[At the Airport|ip14]]</div>

About the thing we discussed earlier… I still believe it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.<</db>> Before you could respond, <<char 'alexa'>> jumped in, visibly curious. <<db 'alexa'>>You guys are having secret discussions now? What did you discuss?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>We wanted to invite you too, but you were knocked out cold.<</db>> The question successfully dodged, <<char 'alexa'>> lost interest. You said your final goodbyes to <<char 'priya'>> and headed toward the boarding queue with <<char 'alexa'>>. It was finally time to leave. As the sun began to set, the plane took off, carrying you away from the only home you’d known and toward a fresh start under the bright lights of Veilstone City. <<vid 'misc/plane_take_off.mp4'>> <div class="choice">[[Veilstone city airport terminal, next morning|ip_15]]</div>

Thanks to multiple delays and layovers, by the time you landed in Veilstone it was already the next morning. Still, you had finally arrived. <<imgbg "misc/countryside_airport.webp" "chars/alexa/alexa_02.png" "150%" "left" -250 "1200px">> <<db 'alexa'>>This one certainly looks a lot busier. Who did they say was picking us up?<</db>> You glanced at your phone, pulling up the photo they had sent you earlier. <<phone 'penny'>> <<msg right>> <<img 'intro/penny_pic_01.jpg'>> <</msg>> <</phone>> The loud clicking of heels approached from behind you. <<db 'penny'>> <<char 'mc'>> <<char 'mc' 'last_name'>>?<</db>> It was a familiar voice. <<char 'cory'>>’s personal secretary, <<char 'penny'>>. <<imgbg "misc/veilstone_airport.webp" "chars/alexa/alexa_02.png" "150%" "left" -250 "chars/penny/penny_01.png" "215%" "left" -600 "1200px">> <<db 'mc'>>Yes, <<char 'penny' 'salutation'>> <<char 'penny' 'last_name'>>. We spoke before my interview.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>Pleasure to finally put a face to the name. And please, just call me <<char 'penny'>>. Ready to go?<</db>> You nodded. You and <<char 'alexa'>> followed her toward the parking area. <<db 'mc'>>You don’t mind if I drive, do you, <<char 'penny'>>?<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>Not at all. I’m not really good at driving anyway.<</db>> That struck you as odd. You didn’t expect someone so high up in the hierarchy to personally pick you up. <<vid 'misc/car_inside.mp4'>> <<db 'mc'>>Hey, can I ask you something?<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>I’ll be your primary point of contact at the house, so go right ahead.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Alright. How come you’re the one picking us up? Don’t you have designated staff for that sort of thing?<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>We used to. But after the incidents started, we significantly downsized the household staff. Can’t be too careful about who you let into the house. Besides, it gives me something to do, so I took it upon myself.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>You’re the personal assistant to <<char 'cory'>> at the <<char 'cory' 'last_name'>> Group, aren’t you? That puts you pretty high up in the hierarchy.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>Not since <<char 'cory'>> stepped down. These days I mostly just do whatever <<char 'cory'>> needs... help manage the household, that sort of thing.<</db>> You weren’t just making small talk. You needed real information about what you were walking into. And for better or worse, <<char 'penny'>> seemed like the open-book type. As your primary point of contact, building good rapport with her could only help. <div class="choice">[[$characters.cory.last_name+' Mansion'|c2p2]]</div>

The mansion was located at an ideal distance from the city... far enough to escape the chaos, yet close enough to remain connected to its heart. <<img 'misc/ashford_mansion.jpg'>> <<char 'alexa'>> was visibly in awe, and it was easy to understand why. The place was stunning. <<char 'penny'>> guided you both inside. <<imgbg "misc/ashford_mansion_living_room.jpg" "chars/alexa/alexa_02.png" "150%" "left" -250 "chars/penny/penny_01.png" "215%" "left" -600 "1200px">> <<db 'mc'>>Looks like you weren’t kidding when you said you downsized after the stalker threat began.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>> <<char 'alexa'>>, <<char 'mc'>>, if you would follow me.<</db>> <<char 'penny'>> led you to your rooms. Yours was conveniently adjacent to <<char 'alexa'>>’s... for obvious security reasons. After helping <<char 'alexa'>> settle in, <<char 'penny'>> asked her to rest while she took you to complete the official hiring process. You went through the standard NDAs and paperwork, then signed everything. With a professional smile, <<char 'penny'>> led you to the next stop. Since you’d be working here, it was important you familiarized yourself with your employers. <<imgbg "misc/ashford_mansion_projector_room.jpg" "chars/penny/penny_01.png" "215%" "left" -600 "1200px">> <<db 'penny'>> I've been ordered by <<char cory>> to give you a crash course on the current residents in the mansion. Most of the information you’re about to see is already public, but please be mindful of the private details.<</db>> You nodded and took a seat in the front row as she began the presentation. <<db penny>> First of all, let me ask you this, how much do you know about the <<char 'cory' 'last_name'>> Group and the <<char 'cory' 'last_name'>> family?<</db>> <<db mc>>Next to nothing.<</db>> <<db penny>>I assumed so. Now let me clue you in. The <<char 'cory' 'last_name'>> family is old money. Long before most modern corporations existed, the <<char 'Ashford'>>s had already established themselves as one of the wealthiest and most influential families in the country.<</db>> <<db penny>>For generations, the family built its fortune through traditional industries. Manufacturing, shipping, construction, energy, real estate. They preferred stable investments and long-term growth over risky ventures. It was a philosophy that served them well for decades.<</db>> <<db penny>>That changed when Mr. <<char 'Ashford'>>'s health began to decline. Contrary to expectations, he passed control of the group to his daughter, <<char 'cory'>>, rather than his younger brother.<</db>> <<db mc>>I take it people weren't happy about that?<</db>> <<db penny>>Not particularly. The family had always been deeply traditional. Some would say excessively so. Leadership positions were almost exclusively occupied by men, and many believed Mr. <<char 'Ashford'>>'s brother was the natural successor.<</db>> <<db penny>>However, no one was willing to openly challenge the old titan while he was alive. His word was law within the family.<</db>> <<db penny>>To everyone's surprise, <<char 'cory'>> proved exceptionally capable. She modernized the group, expanded internationally, and began investing heavily in emerging industries. Artificial intelligence, software development, robotics, biotechnology, advanced computing. Areas the company would never have considered under previous leadership.<</db>> <<db penny>>Those decisions generated extraordinary profits, but they also created enemies. Traditionalists within the family viewed her reforms as a betrayal of the <<char 'Ashford'>> legacy.<</db>> <<db penny>>Five years ago, Mr. <<char 'Ashford'>> passed away. Without his presence keeping everyone in line, the internal disagreements that had been simmering beneath the surface began to emerge.<</db>> <<db penny>>Board meetings became battlegrounds. Family factions formed. Every major decision was scrutinized. Every success and failure became ammunition for one side or another.<</db>> <<db mc>>Sounds exhausting.<</db>> <<db penny>>You have no idea.<</db>> <<db penny>>Eventually, <<char 'cory'>> decided to step down as CEO. The official explanation was that she wanted to focus on other interests, but the timing was not lost on anyone.<</db>> <<db penny>>Most people assumed leadership would finally pass to Mr. <<char 'Ashford'>>'s brother. After all, he had spent years building support among the board and the family shareholders.<</db>> <<db penny>>Instead, <<char 'dani'>>, one of Mr. <<char Ashford>>'s daughters stepped into the spotlight.<</db>> <<db penny>>She spent months meeting with investors, negotiating with board members, and consolidating support. By the time the vote arrived, she had secured enough backing to win the position outright.<</db>> <<db mc>>I imagine that didn't go over well.<</db>> <<db penny>>Let's just say some people are still unhappy about it.<</db>> <<db penny>>Today, <<char 'dani'>> serves as Chief Executive Officer of the <<char 'cory' 'last_name'>> Group. Under her leadership, the company continues its expansion into technology and artificial intelligence while maintaining the traditional businesses that built the family's fortune in the first place.<</db>> <<db penny>>Which brings us to the people you'll actually be interacting with on a daily basis.<</db>> The projector advanced to the next slide. <<db penny>>Let's start with <<char 'dani'>> herself.<</db>> <<img 'intro/dani_pic_01.jpg'>> <<db 'penny'>><<char 'dani'>> <<char 'dani' 'last_name'>>, current head of the <<char 'cory' 'last_name'>> Group. She’s smart, driven, and very no-nonsense.<</db>> You recalled seeing her on the news years ago when she took over as CEO. It made quite a big splash in the news back then. <<db 'penny'>>What you don’t know is that she has no idea about the stalker threat, or that you were specifically hired to protect her. Any meddling in her daily routine won’t go over well. Expect friction. <<char 'cory'>> will handle any major issues that arise.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>So she’s walking around right now with no clue about the threats against her?<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>She’s currently out of the country on a business trip, so yes. As far as she knows, we only had one break-in attempt. In reality, there have been two.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>The first time, someone flew a drone into the property. It smashed through the window of <<char dani>>'s home office with a note attached that read: “You will be mine!”... written in blood.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>We upgraded the entire security system, replaced all windows with reinforced glass, and had the drone and note analyzed. It was pig’s blood. No fingerprints, no DNA, nothing. Clean.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>This sounds way more serious than what was advertised.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>We can’t exactly go advertising these things, can we?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Fair enough… What about the second incident?<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>The second time was the day before we first spoke. <<char 'dani'>> and the youngest sibling, <<char 'elsa'>>, went shopping. Someone smashed the car window and left a similar note. Luckily, <<char 'elsa'>> was the one who found it. She has a good head on her shoulders... she hid the note and made it look like a simple robbery. She was quite shaken though.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>> <<char 'cory'>> decided not to tell <<char 'dani'>>. With good reason. She’s fearless... recklessly so. If she knew, she’d probably go hunting for the stalker herself. On top of that, the <<char 'cory' 'last_name'>> Group just came out of a major transitional period. We can't afford to let something like this rock the boat right now. <<char 'cory'>> wanted this handled quietly.<</db>> <<char 'penny'>> paused for a moment. <<db 'penny'>>That’s why we brought you in. Our head of security recommended you personally. Said you handled a similar high-profile stalker case before your hiatus.<</db>> You leaned forward slightly. <<db 'mc'>>This head of security… who is it?<</db>> <<db 'penny'>> <<char 'peta' 'salutation'>> <<char 'peta' 'last_name'>>. Does that ring a bell?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>You can’t be talking about Major <<char 'peta' 'last_name'>>?<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>That’s the one.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>><i>Now it all makes sense… how this job just fell into my lap.</i><</db>> It also became clear that this job might not be as straightforward as it first seemed... especially if Major <<char 'peta' 'last_name'>> was the one who pushed for your hiring. <<db 'mc'>><i>Wait! If she knew about my last case two years ago and that I was looking for work… has she been watching me this whole time?</i><</db>> Your thoughts were interrupted by <<char 'penny'>>’s voice. <<db 'penny'>>Shall I continue?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Sure. Go ahead.<</db>> <div class="choice">[[Continue|ip17]]</div>

<<db 'penny'>>Next up is <<char 'dillion'>>. She’s <<char 'dani'>>’s younger sister. I’ll warn you... she can be a bit much at times, but she’s mostly harmless.<</db>> <<img 'intro/dillion_pic_01.jpg'>> <<db 'mc'>>Mostly?<</db>> <<char 'penny'>> glossed over your remark and continued as if she hadn’t heard it. <<db 'penny'>>She just graduated college and is still figuring out what she wants to do next.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>Alright, listen up. I don’t know how much celebrity or gossip news you followed five years ago, but I’m going to assume not much.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Considering I was a little busy trying not to get shot and killed, that’s a safe bet.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>Then pay attention. I’m going to explain the complicated family dynamics of the <<char 'cory' 'last_name'>> family.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>Before <<char 'cory'>>, Mr. <<char 'Ashford'>> had another wife... <<char 'dani'>> and <<char 'dillion'>>’s biological mother. She passed away shortly after <<char 'dillion'>> was born. God rest her soul.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>Mr. <<char 'Ashford'>> later married <<char 'cory'>>, who used to be his secretary, so the children would have a mother figure.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>The marriage drew a lot of attention from the media because <<char 'cory'>> was already a divorcee at the time.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>Are you following?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Yeah. Keep going.<</db>> The image on the screen changed to a young blonde woman. <<img 'intro/elsa_pic_01.jpg'>> <<db 'penny'>>Next is <<char 'elsa'>>, <<char 'cory'>> and Mr. <<char 'Ashford'>>’s only biological child and the youngest of the siblings.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>She’s back home for summer break. One important thing to remember: <<char 'dani'>> adores her, even though they have different mothers. So be very careful around <<char 'elsa'>>.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Got it.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>And that brings us to <<char 'nicole'>>, <<char 'cory'>>’s daughter from her first marriage. A couple of years before Mr <<char Ashford>>'s passing, she took the <<char cory last_name>>, so technically she is the oldest of the children.<</db>> <<img 'intro/nicole_pic_01.jpg'>> <<db 'penny'>>She was kept under wraps by design. Let’s just leave it at that. Oh, and fair warning... she has a strong feminist streak and isn’t particularly fond of men in general. Tread carefully around her.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Copy.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>Moving on… <<char 'abella'>>.<</db>> <<img 'intro/abella_pic_01.webp'>> <<db 'penny'>>She’s the daughter of Mr. <<char 'Ashford'>>’s brother. She’s quite a character, so stay on your guard. Her husband occasionally drops by trying to win her back. Do not get involved in their drama.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Husband?<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>Loveless arranged marriage between prominent families, legal separation, strained relationship with her father… the whole mess. She’s been staying here lately.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I see.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>That’s pretty much everyone currently living in the mansion.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Got it.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>Since we downsized the staff, there’s only one maid left. She’s been with the family for a long time and we consider her part of the family. She’s currently on vacation but should return any day now.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>For routine maintenance, <<char 'peta' 'salutation'>> <<char 'peta' 'last_name'>> sends verified personnel. They come in, do their job, and leave.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>That concludes the presentation. You’ll find your official phone... already loaded with all important contacts, along with car keys, a laptop containing everything we covered and more, waiting in your room. Also We took input from <<char 'peta' 'salutation'>> <<char 'peta' 'last_name'>> for your weapons and acessories so those will be waiting for you in your room as well. If you need anything more or have questions, just ping me.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Copy that.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>Now, about work culture. Since <<char 'dani'>> took over, the expectation is that staff manage their own comfort levels as long as it doesn’t affect performance. The same applies to you.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Comfort. Got it.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>Lastly, you won’t officially start until <<char 'dani'>> returns from her trip. Until then, I suggest you get familiar with the mansion and its surroundings.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Understood.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>You can go now.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Before I go, can I ask you something? It’s about <<char 'alexa'>>’s job interview. How exactly is it going to work?<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>Oh, the interview is basically just a formality. She walks in and we’ll assign her a position based on her qualifications. Whenever she's ready, tell her to let me know. I'll handle the rest.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I see…<</db>> <div class="choice"><<wt_hint green>>[[Ask for a proper interview|ip19_demand_proper_interview_for_alexa]]</div> <div class="choice">[[Thank her and leave|ip19_thank_penny_for_special_treatment]]</div>

<<set $storyflags['ip19_demand_proper_interview_for_alexa']=true>> <<db 'mc'>>Could you give <<char 'alexa'>> a proper interview instead? No special treatment.<</db>> <<char 'penny'>> raised an eyebrow. <<db 'penny'>>Hm? You do realize what you’re asking, right? Our hiring process is quite strict. Why would you want to put your sister-in-law through all of that?<</db>> You knew <<char 'alexa'>> well. If she got the job through favoritism, she would always feel like she didn’t truly earn it. <<db 'mc'>>She may not look it, but she’s actually very capable when it comes to finance and numbers. I want her to prove herself.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>You do understand that if she fails, she won’t get the job at all?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>This is supposed to be a fresh start for both of us. I think she’d appreciate earning it properly more than being handed the position.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>If that’s what you want, I’ll arrange it.<</db>> You thanked her and left the room, heading toward <<char 'alexa'>>’s new bedroom. <div class="choice">[[Continue|ip18]]</div>

<<db 'mc'>>If that’s the case, then thank you.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>You don’t have to thank me.

You reached <<char 'alexa'>>’s bedroom and found her beaming with excitement. <<imgbg "misc/alexa_bedroom.jpg" "chars/alexa/alexa_02.png" "150%" "left" -250 "1200px">> <<db 'alexa'>>Oh my god, <<char 'mc'>>! Have you seen this place?! This is insane!<</db>> <<char 'alexa'>> spun around with a huge grin on her face, gesturing wildly at the spacious room. <<db 'alexa'>>Look at this bed! It’s bigger than our entire living room back home! And the bathroom? It has a freaking jacuzzi tub! I feel like I’m in a five-star hotel. How is this real life?<</db>> You couldn’t help but smile at her enthusiasm. It had been a long time since you’d seen her this happy and energetic. <<db 'mc'>>Easy there, princess. Calm down before you float away.<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>I can’t calm down! This is so different from our old house… I still can’t believe we’re actually staying here.<</db>> You chuckled softly and placed a hand on her shoulder. <<if $storyflags['ip19_demand_proper_interview_for_alexa']>> <<db 'mc'>>About your job… I spoke with <<char penny>>. The interview is mostly a formality, but I asked her to give you a real one instead of handing you the position.<</db>> <<char 'alexa'>> blinked, surprised. <<db 'alexa'>>You did?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Yeah. I know you. You wouldn’t feel right if it was just given to you. This way you can earn it properly.<</db>> <<char 'alexa'>> looked at you for a moment, then smiled warmly. <<db 'alexa'>>Thank you… That actually means a lot.<</db>> <<else>> <<db 'mc'>>About your job… I spoke with <<char penny>>. The interview is mostly a formality, you just walk in, hand them your documents, boom you get the job.<</db>> You expected her to be jubilant. but her face was slightly melancholic. <<db mc>>What's wrong?<</db>> <<db alexa>>Nothing. It's just that... it feels like I'm being handed something I didn't earn because of you. It feels weird.<</db>> <<db mc>>Think about this way... You took care of me at my worst. This is me repaying you for what you did. Besides, we're family, aren't we? So get that sort of thought out of your head. If anybody deserves such an opportunity, it's you.<</db>> That seemed to cheer her up a bit. <</if>> After talking with her for a few more minutes, you left her to settle in and headed to your own room. Your room was almost identical to <<char 'alexa'>>’s, just as spacious. <<db 'mc'>><i>Damn… This is definitely an upgrade.</i><</db>> You glanced around the room and noticed a sleek black suitcase resting on the desk. You opened it and found everything neatly arranged inside. Inside was a brand new Sig P320 pistol, several loaded magazines, a high-quality concealed carry holster, an Emerson Combat Karambit folding knife, suppressors, and various other tools and accessories perfectly suited for solo private security work. A small handwritten note was placed on top of the equipment: "Thought you’d prefer having everything in one place. Consider this your welcome package. - <<char 'peta'>>" You picked up the brand new high-end phone that was also placed on the desk. It was already set up with your information. You scrolled through the contacts until you found the one you were looking for... <<char 'peta' 'salutation'>> <<char 'peta' 'last_name'>>. You hit call. She answered on the second ring. <<ph 'peta'>><<char 'mc'>>. I was wondering when you’d reach out.<</ph>> <<ph 'mc'>>We need to talk. I’ve got some questions.<</ph>> <<ph 'peta'>>I bet you do. Oh, and it’s just <<char 'peta'>> now. We’re both civilians these days, so no need for ranks.<</ph>> <<ph 'mc'>>Got it.<</ph>> Her voice carried a clear hint of satisfaction. <<ph 'peta'>>I clock out at 4 PM. I’ll send you the location.<</ph>> <<ph 'mc'>>Sounds good. See you then.<</ph>> <<ph 'peta'>>By the way, <<char 'mc'>>… I’m glad you took the job.<</ph>> You ended the call and stared at the phone for a moment, lost in thought. <div class="choice">[[Continue|ip19]]</div>

You received her location, shortly after. Soon the time approached. It was time to get some answer as to why you're really here. <<vid 'misc/car_inside.mp4'>> You drove to the location she sent... a quiet public park just outside the main city bustle. The park was mostly empty, making it easy to spot her. As soon as your eyes met, <<char 'peta'>> waved you over with a small smile. <<imgbg "misc/city_public_park.webp" "chars/peta/peta_01.png" "150%" "left" -120 "1200px">> <<db 'mc'>>Hmm… I must say, Major, it’s kinda weird seeing you without the uniform.<</db>> She smiled and began walking at a leisurely pace. You fell in step beside her. <<db 'peta'>>I don’t know about that. If you recall Operation Shattered Shield… you saw me without my uniform multiple times.<</db>> A vivid memory of that one intense night flashed through your mind. <<db 'mc'>>That happened once… and we were both under heavy duress. Not knowing if you’re making it home alive tends to do that to people.<</db>> <<db 'peta'>>Right, my bad. Once.… I also recall you feeling guilty afterward about betraying that special someone back home. Sorry to hear it didn’t work out with… what was her name again?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Yup. Turns out I wasn’t the only one being unfaithful.<</db>> <<db 'peta'>>What happened exactly?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Oh, I’m sorry... didn’t <<char 'kalina'>> manage to dig that up for you?<</db>> <<db 'peta'>>Who?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Don’t even try denying it.<</db>> <<char 'peta'>> let out a soft chuckle. <<db 'peta'>>Fine. I’ll admit it.<</db>> <<db 'peta'>>I’m glad your self-imposed unemployment didn’t dull your instincts.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Why send an untrained nobody to make contact, though? You do realize I could’ve killed her and dumped her in a ditch, right?<</db>> <<db 'peta'>>She may be untrained, but she knows how to survive. Besides, she’s well-connected in Veilstone. Weapons, drugs, women... whatever you want, she can arrange it… for the right price. I already gave her your contact details, just in case.<</db>> <<db 'peta'>>Anyway… where were we? Ah yes. Your special someone. What happened?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>(sigh) I went back home just to find out she had moved here, to the city for work… and eventually married some rich asshole.<</db>> <<db 'peta'>>And you just let it be?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I didn’t exactly have the moral high ground at that point, did I?. I made my choice. She made hers. Haven't seen her since.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Now, if you’ve had enough fun digging into my tragic love life, can we get back to the matter at hand?<</db>> She smirked. <<db 'peta'>>Teasing you is still fun, but you’re right.<</db>> <<db 'peta'>>So… what do you think about the incidents <<char 'penny'>> briefed you on?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>The messages scream obsession... “You will be mine” is classic possessive language. The timing is accelerating too. A drone intrusion, then a public attack on the car just days later.<</db>> You paused, gathering your thoughts as the two of you continued walking. <<db 'mc'>>But the method doesn’t match the obsession. Using pig’s blood instead of real blood shows calculation, not raw emotion. A true stalker usually wants the personal thrill. This feels cold. Professional.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Both scenes were also unusually clean. No prints, no DNA, no witnesses. That level of discipline is rare for a lone obsessive.<</db>> You stopped walking and turned to face her directly. <<db 'mc'>>Most telling of all... both incidents required insider knowledge. The drone needed the mansion’s exact blind spots. The car attack happened right after <<char 'dani'>> and <<char 'elsa'>> went shopping. Someone knew their schedule, their route, and where the car would be.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>This isn’t a random stalker. It feels like sabotage… with help from someone inside the family or their inner circle.<</db>> <<char 'peta'>> stopped beside you. A slow, impressed smile spread across her face. <<db 'peta'>>And that’s exactly why you’re here.<</db>> She turned to face you fully. <<db 'peta'>>You’re one of the few people I trust who can handle close protection while running a discreet internal investigation. You know how to blend in, observe everyone quietly, and notice what others miss. You’re not afraid to dig where others won’t.<</db>> <<db 'peta'>>That combination is rare. It’s why I recommended you.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>So to be clear… you want me to find the insider.<</db>> <<db 'peta'>>While my team handles the external threat. Yes. But keep in mind... the suspect pool is bigger than you think. Residents of the mansion, extended family, close friends, staff… until we know more, everyone is a potential suspect.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Understood.<</db>> <<char 'peta'>> gave you a long, appraising look, the corner of her mouth curling into a familiar smirk. <<db 'peta'>>Good.<</db>> She took a small step closer, lowering her voice. <<db 'peta'>>And <<char 'mc'>>… if you ever want to catch up properly, off the clock… you know where to find me.<</db>> Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she added: <<db 'peta'>>Who knows? I might even let you see me without the uniform again. For old times’ sake.<</db>> You let out a short chuckle and shook your head. <<db 'mc'>>I’ll keep that in mind.<</db>> The two of you continued walking back toward the parking area in comfortable silence. After a brief but warm goodbye, you got into your car and drove off. As you made your way back to the mansion, the full picture of the situation finally started coming together. You now had a much clearer understanding of what you were truly up against. <div class="choice">[[Continue|ip20]]</div>

You parked your car and headed toward the mansion. As you reached the veranda, you ran into one of the siblings, <<char 'dillion'>>. <<imgbg "misc/ashford_mansion_veranda.jpg" "chars/dillion/dillion_01.png" "150%" "left" -120 "1200px">> <<db 'mc'>><i>She's got a very innocent smile… but after what <<char 'penny'>> told me, I should stay on my guard.</i><</db>> <<db 'dillion'>>You must be the new security guy.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>That’s right. Name’s <<char 'mc'>>.<</db>> <<db 'dillion'>><<char 'penny'>> must’ve given you the full rundown, so you already know who I am, right?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>She did.<</db>> <<db 'dillion'>>I gotta say… when I heard “ex-Special Forces,” I expected someone way more rugged. You look like you belong in a shaving cream commercial.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I’ll take that as a compliment.<</db>> <<db 'dillion'>>It was.<</db>> She stepped closer and lowered her voice to a whisper. <<db 'dillion'>>You any good at roughing people up?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Why are we whispering all of a sudden?<</db>> <<db 'dillion'>>Just answer the question.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I have combat training, yes.<</db>> <<db 'dillion'>>Good. Then I want you to do something for me.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>What do you mean?<</db>> <<db 'dillion'>>I want you to rough up that rat, <<char 'penny'>>. You work here, so you have to do what I say, right?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>><i>She’s saying this so casually… She has to be joking… right?</i><</db>> <<db 'mc'>>What exactly did she do to deserve that?<</db>> <<db 'dillion'>>The bitch snitched on me and got me grounded. So, will you do it? You don't even have to feel bad about it... she’ll probably enjoy it, that witch!<</db>> <<db 'mc'>><i>Enjoy it? What the hell does she mean by that?</i><</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I’m gonna need more context than that.<</db>> <<db 'dillion'>>Look, all I did was go to a party and come back a little late. Not my fault the car had trouble. She didn’t have to run and tell <<char 'cory'>> and get me grounded.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>She casually forgot to mention the part where she crashed the car into a boutique in the middle of the night and caused thousands in property damage.<</db>> You turned to see <<char 'penny'>> walking up behind her. <<char 'dillion'>> spun around with an annoyed glare. <<imgbg "misc/ashford_mansion_veranda.jpg" "chars/penny/penny_01.png" "240%" "left" -550 "transparent_pixel.png" "150%" "left" -120 "chars/dillion/dillion_01.png" "150%" "left" -120 "1200px">> <<db 'dillion'>>The car got scratched too! That counts as car trouble! You didn’t have to snitch on me, you witch!<</db>> <<db 'penny'>><<char 'mc'>> is here to provide security, not to help you settle petty grudges.<</db>> <<db 'dillion'>>Why can’t he do both?<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>You should be heading back to your room, young lady.<</db>> <<db 'dillion'>>(Sigh) Fine…<</db>> She turned to you with a sweet smile. <<db 'dillion'>>Talk to you later, <<char 'mc'>>.<</db>> She took a few steps away, but as soon as she was out of <<char 'penny'>>’s direct line of sight, she turned back and silently mouthed the words: “Rough her up…” The second <<char 'penny'>> turned to look, <<char 'dillion'>> quickly spun around and bolted inside. <<char 'penny'>> turned back to you with a tired expression. <<db 'mc'>>Should you be worried about that?<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>It’s nothing I can’t handle. You don’t need to worry about me.<</db>> With that, you gave her a small nod and continued on your way. <div class="choice">[[Bedroom|ip21]]</div>

<<if $storyflags['ip21_lana_sex']>> The drive back to the mansion was quiet, the city lights blurring past as you replayed the events of the afternoon in your mind. <<vid 'misc/car_inside.mp4'>> Once you arrived, you returned to your room and got back to work... carefully studying the files on the extended <<char 'Ashford'>> family, memorizing faces, names, and relationships of the people you’d likely encounter. <<img 'misc/mc_bedroom.jpg'>> <</if>> The day slowly faded into night.

She looked even more stunning in person than in the videos... beautiful face, perfect figure, and a seductive confidence in the way she carried herself. <<imgbg "misc/lana_living_room.jpg" "chars/lana/lana_01.png" "120%" "left" 0 "1200px">> <<db 'lana'>>You must be <<char 'mc'>>.

The air between you was already thick with anticipation. <<db 'mc'>>So… what happens now?<</db>> <<db 'lana'>>What do you want to happen?<</db>> Instead of answering with words, you stepped forward, pulled her close, and kissed her. Her lips were soft and supple, tasting faintly of sweet cherries. She melted into the kiss instantly, her hands sliding up your chest. You guided her backward toward the living room couch without breaking the kiss. The moment you sat down, Lana gave you a playful, teasing smile. She slowly peeled her top off, revealing a pair of full, natural, and perfectly shaped breasts. She cupped them lightly, running her thumbs over her hardening nipples while looking you straight in the eyes. <<db 'lana'>>Is this what you wanted to happen?<</db>> You nodded, unable to take your eyes off her. <<db 'lana'>>Good<</db>> With a sultry smile, she gracefully dropped to her knees in front of you. <<img 'intro/lana_pic_01.jpg' '50%'>> <div class="choice">[[Continue|ip21_lana_bonus_sex]]</div>

You both lay on the couch for a few moments, catching your breath. The room was filled with the scent of sex and the sound of your slowing heartbeats. Eventually, you sat up and began getting dressed. <<char 'lana'>> watched you with a satisfied, lazy smile, still completely naked and glistening with sweat and your cum. <<db 'mc'>>That was incredible. Thank you for the good time, <<char 'lana'>>.<</db>> <<db 'lana'>>Mmm, thank you. You really know how to handle a girl.<</db>> She stretched sensually on the couch before sitting up.

Door’s always open if you ever want to… relieve some stress again.<</db>> You gave her one last appreciative look before heading toward the door. <<db 'mc'>>Take care of yourself.<</db>> With that, you stepped out of the house, got into your car, and began the drive back to the Ashford mansion. The entire way home, the image of <<char 'lana'>>’s body and the sound of her moans lingered in your mind.

:: ip22 <<img 'misc/mc_bedroom.jpg'>> The sharp sound of your phone alarm pulled you from sleep. You opened your eyes and stared at the unfamiliar luxurious ceiling. <<db 'mc'>> (sigh) Right… it’s morning.<</db>> You had lost many of your old military habits during your two years in the countryside.

After leaving <<char 'alexa'>>’s room, you returned to your own to freshen up. Once you were ready, you decided it was time to get something to eat. Although the mansion had multiple kitchens, only one remained fully operational due to the recent downsizing. The maid was still on vacation, according to yesterday’s briefing with <<char 'penny'>>. You figured <<char 'penny'>> was the one handling the cooking for now. Thanks to having already memorized the mansion’s layout, you had no trouble finding the dining room. <<imgbg "misc/ashford_family_dining_room.jpg" "chars/cory/cory_02.png" "150%" "left" -150 "1200px">> As you entered, you were surprised to see <<char 'cory'>> herself setting the table. <<db 'cory'>>Good morning. Come, sit down.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Good morning. I didn’t expect to see you on kitchen duty.<</db>> <<char 'cory'>> smiled warmly as she placed a plate in front of you. <<db 'cory'>>I used to cook for my husband all the time. He loved my cooking. The children don’t seem to mind it either, so I still prepare meals occasionally. It helps me relax.<</db>> She brought the rest of the breakfast to the table and sat down across from you. You took a bite and were immediately impressed — the food was excellent. <<db 'mc'>>This is really good.<</db>> <<char 'cory'>> smiled, a hint of genuine warmth in her expression. <<db 'cory'>>It’s nice to be appreciated. Thank you.<</db>> You noticed a faint melancholy behind her smile but chose not to comment. <<db 'mc'>>Where is everyone else?<</db>> <<db 'cory'>>We don’t really have set meal times here. Everyone eats whenever they wake up or feel like it.<</db>> You took another bite, then subtly shifted the conversation. <<db 'mc'>>If you don’t mind me asking… what was it like being CEO of the <<char 'cory' 'last_name'>> Group? From what I’ve heard, you were quite good at it.<</db>> <<char 'cory'>> leaned back slightly, a nostalgic look crossing her face. <<db 'cory'>>I never really enjoyed it. I only took on the role because my husband asked me to. Once he was gone… I was more than happy to step down and return to a quieter life here.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>What about <<char penny>>? She followed you out, didn’t she?<</db>> <<db 'cory'>>She did. She was one of the main reasons I was able to hold on as CEO for as long as I did. She’s incredibly capable. I didn’t like the idea of her leaving such a prestigious position, but… she wouldn’t listen. She just followed me out the door.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>><i><<char penny>> left a high-paying, prestigious job just to follow <<char 'cory'>>… Either she’s loyal to a fault… or there’s more to it than that.</i><</db>> Your thoughts were interrupted as <<char 'cory'>> spoke again.

You returned to your room and sat down at the desk. Opening the laptop <<char 'penny'>> had provided, you began reviewing the files again, going through the potential suspect pool and everything you knew so far. A few minutes later, you heard a soft knock on your door. <<db 'mc'>>It’s open.<</db>> The door slowly opened and <<char 'elsa'>> stepped inside. You immediately stood up to greet her. <<db 'mc'>>Thanks for coming. I really appreciate it.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I’m <<char 'mc'>>. I’ve been hired as personal security for your sister.<</db>> <<char 'elsa'>> gave a shy nod. <<db 'mc'>>Please, sit down. Make yourself comfortable.<</db>> She hesitated briefly before sitting on the very edge of the bed, hands clasped tightly in her lap. <<db 'mc'>>I wanted to ask you about the car window incident. Whatever you remember would be helpful. Take your time.<</db>> <<char 'elsa'>> looked down at her hands for a moment, visibly uncomfortable. <<db 'elsa'>>We had just finished shopping. <<char 'dani'>> went back into the store because she forgot something. I stayed in the car, sitting in the front passenger seat, waiting for her.<</db>> She took a shaky breath. <<db 'elsa'>>I was just scrolling on my phone when I heard a really loud crash from the back window. It scared me so much I ducked down immediately. Glass went everywhere.<</db>> <<char 'elsa'>> hugged herself slightly, her voice growing quieter. <<db 'elsa'>>When I finally looked up, I saw the back window was completely shattered. There was a piece of rock and a note attached to it on the back seat. It said the same thing as the first incident… “You will be mine, <<char 'dani'>>.”<</db>> She looked up at you with anxious eyes. <<db 'elsa'>>Mom had told me <<char dani>> was not supposed to know about the notes. So I quickly hid the note before <<char 'dani'>> came back.<</db>> <<db 'elsa'>>Do you think whoever did this is still watching us?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Don’t worry. I’m going to find whoever did this.<</db>> <<char 'elsa'>> looked at you with hopeful but still anxious eyes. <<db 'mc'>>Did you see where the rock came from? Or anyone nearby who might have thrown it?<</db>> She shook her head slowly. <<db 'elsa'>>No… I was too scared to look. I just stayed down until it got quiet.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Who did you tell about what actually happened?<</db>> <<db 'elsa'>>Just my mom. I told her right after we got home.<</db>> You nodded subtly, keeping your tone gentle. <<db 'mc'>>How did she react?<</db>> <<db 'elsa'>>She was really concerned… and scared. She hugged me for a long time. Then she called <<char penny>> and told her to take me to my room. She didn’t want me to be alone.<</db>> <<char 'elsa'>> lowered her head, looking guilty. <<db 'elsa'>>I’m sorry I couldn’t be more helpful…<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>You’ve been more than helpful. Really. Thank you for talking to me.<</db>> You gave her a reassuring smile. <<db 'mc'>>You can go now. Get some rest.<</db>> <<char 'elsa'>> stood up and walked toward the door. Just before she left, she turned back to you, her voice small. <<db 'elsa'>>You’ll really find whoever did this… right?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I will. I promise.<</db>> She gave you one last nod, a faint look of relief on her face, before quietly closing the door behind her. <div class="choice">[[Continue|c2p6]]</div>

You returned to your room after reviewing the files on the potential suspects. After a while, you decided to stretch your legs and do a quick perimeter check, especially around the security camera setup. Even though you knew it was under Major <<char 'peta' 'last_name'>>’s capable hands, you still wanted to see it for yourself. <<img 'misc/ashford_mansion_outside_view.jpg'>> Satisfied with the setup, you headed back inside. On your way to your room, you had your first encounter with the last of the siblings <<char 'nicole'>>. <<imgbg "misc/ashford_mansion_stairs.jpg" "chars/nicole/nicole_01.png" "150%" "left" -150 "1200px">> <<db 'nicole'>>Stop right there. Where do you think you’re going?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Hi, I’m...<</db>> <<db 'nicole'>>I know who you are. I asked you a question.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I was just heading back to my room after checking the security systems.<</db>> <<db 'nicole'>>Who gave you permission to snoop around the property?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I apologize. I wasn’t aware I needed explicit permission.<</db>> <<db 'nicole'>>( muttering under her breath)Ugh! Why couldn’t they just listen and get a woman…<</db>> You clearly heard the comment.

You chose not to respond to her snide comment and simply gave a small, neutral nod. <<db 'mc'>>I’ll make sure to inform someone next time.<</db>> <<char 'nicole'>> scoffed and crossed her arms, clearly displeased by your calm reaction. <<db 'nicole'>>Whatever. Just stay out of places you don’t belong.<</db>> She turned and walked away without another word. <div class="choice">[[Continue|c2p7]]</div>

<<set $storyflags['ch2p6_mock_nicole_by_asking_permission']=true>> You looked at her with a slight, mocking smile. <<db 'mc'>>I was actually waiting for your permission to continue walking to my bedroom. Should I crawl there too, or is walking acceptable?<</db>> <<char 'nicole'>>’s eyes widened in disbelief, clearly caught off guard by your sarcastic reply. <<db 'nicole'>>Excuse me? You’ve got some nerve.<</db>> She glared at you for a moment, then let out a frustrated huff. <<db 'nicole'>>Just stay out of my way.<</db>> She turned sharply and walked off, but you caught the faintest hint of a scowl mixed with something almost like surprise. <div class="choice">[[Continue|c2p7]]</div>

After your encounter with <<char 'nicole'>>, you returned to your room and sent a quick text to <<char 'penny'>> asking to see her. She replied shortly after, telling you to meet her in <<char 'cory'>>’s home office. <<imgbg "misc/ashford_mansion_cory_office.png" "chars/penny/penny_02.png" "120%" "left" -149 "1200px">> <<db 'mc'>>Hey. Had an interesting run-in with <<char 'nicole'>>.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>What happened?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Just some spoiled princess attitude. Nothing I can’t handle, but I’d appreciate it if you could make sure those kinds of incidents don’t get in the way of my job.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>I apologize. I’ll speak with <<char 'cory'>> and make it clear what your role is here. Everyone will be expected to cooperate.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>But if I’m being totally honest… you should probably just stay away from <<char 'nicole'>>.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Why? I was under the impression <<char 'cory'>>’s word was law around here.<</db>> You threw the comment out like bait. <<db 'penny'>>It usually is… except when it comes to <<char 'nicole'>>. Their relationship is… complicated.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I see. I’ll keep that in mind.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Do you have any update on when <<char 'dani'>> is coming back?<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>Last I heard, the negotiations are stalled on the other side. So it’s still unclear. Sorry.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>No big deal. I just like to plan ahead.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Speaking of which… do you have any plans tonight? I was hoping you could show me some of Veilstone’s nightlife.<</db>> <<char 'penny'>> paused, clearly registering the implications of your question. <<db 'penny'>>Oh… I’m flattered, but I don’t think...<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Whoa, whoa... I wasn’t asking you out or anything. I just want a place to unwind after a long day. I promise.<</db>> <<char 'penny'>> went from flattered to visibly deflated in an instant. <<db 'penny'>>Oh… right. Because that would be…<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Inappropriate… and fantastic.<</db>> <<char 'penny'>> snorted, unable to hide her amusement. <<db 'penny'>>It looks like I’ll have to stay on my toes around you, <<char 'mc'>>.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>And to answer your question… I’ll come get you tonight.<</db>> You left the office with a small smirk. This was a good opportunity to get to know <<char 'penny'>> better... and maybe gain some deeper insight into what makes her tick. <div class="choice">[[Continue|c2p8]]</div>

You went back to your room and continued studying up. <<img 'misc/mc_bedroom.jpg'>> The day had turned to night, and you had already gone through most of the <<char 'Ashford'>> family tree... enough to avoid any surprise encounters. It was time to get ready for the club. You heard a knock on the door. You knew it was <<char 'penny'>>. You opened the door to let her in and were immediately surprised. <<imgbg "misc/mc_bedroom_night.png" "chars/penny/penny_03.png" "120%" "left" -149 "1200px">> <<db 'mc'>>Wow… you look really beautiful.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>You could say it without being so surprised, you know. I don’t always dress like a school principal.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I’ve certainly learned my lesson about underestimating you.<</db>> You noticed <<char 'penny'>> checking you out as well. <<db 'penny'>>Speaking of underestimating people, it seems I underestimated how well you clean up.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Hm… I try.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>You ready?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Yeah, but where are we going?<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>Obsidian. It’s a famous nightclub in the city, frequented by most employees from the <<char 'Ashford'>> Group… or it used to be. It’s been a while since I’ve made an appearance.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Sounds like you’re looking forward to it.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>It was fun — partying at night and climbing the corporate ladder by day. Now, if anything, I’m nervous.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Good thing you’ve got company then.<</db>> She nodded and smiled. You followed her to the garage, started the car with <<char 'penny'>> in the passenger seat, and raced past the glowing city lights. <<vid 'misc/car_driving_night.mp4'>> A short drive later, you reached the place. <<img 'misc/obsidian_nightclub.png'>> <<db 'penny'>>This place has changed.<</db>> The nostalgia was clear in her voice. She missed it. <<db 'mc'>>Come on then. Let’s not waste time.<</db>> It seemed like the club had some sort of deal with the <<char 'Ashford'>> Group, because once <<char 'penny'>> showed her ID card, the demeanor of the bouncers changed to a more respectful one as they let you both in. Stepping inside, you couldn’t help but ask… <<db 'mc'>>What was that about?<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>It’s not that surprising. <<char 'Ashford'>> employees are their biggest clientele, so we get certain perks…<</db>> She didn’t elaborate, but you knew there was more she was holding back. You chose not to press. <<imgbg "misc/obsidian_nightclub_inside.png" "chars/penny/penny_03.png" "120%" "left" -10 "1200px">> You stepped in… loud music, people dancing, drinking… drinking while dancing… <<db 'penny'>>So… what do you think?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>To be honest, it’s way better than the bar and grill we had back home.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>I would imagine so. Come on, let’s get a drink.<</db>> You watched <<char 'penny'>> all the way as she went to the bar, following her with your eyes the entire time. It wasn’t just to enjoy her beauty... you needed to make sure she wasn’t going to try anything. It was important to clear her of all suspicions first, since she was your primary point of contact. <<db 'penny'>>Here.<</db>> She handed you one of the drinks. <<db 'mc'>>What should we toast to?<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>I don’t know… how about getting wasted and having fun?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Good enough.<</db>> You both downed the drinks with a smile. <div class="choice">[[Continue|c2p9]]</div>

The next morning… <<db 'mc'>><i>Fuck… My head hurts…</i><</db>> You woke up in what looked like a cheap hotel room, your mind foggy. A sharp, shearing headache spiked through your skull as you tried to recall the events of last night. Dreading what you might find, you reached over to the other side of the bed. Your hand touched something soft and warm. You already knew what it was. Turning your head, you saw <<char 'penny'>> lying there beside you, completely naked and still asleep. <<db 'mc'>><i>Fuck!</i><</db>> The moment you touched her, <<char 'penny'>> jolted awake. She practically jumped out of the bed. You sat up quickly as well. <<imgbg "misc/cheap_hotel_room.webp" "chars/penny/penny_04.png" "120%" "left" -10 "1200px">> <<db 'penny'>><<char 'mc'>>…?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I think we were drugged.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>What?!<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>What’s the last thing you remember?<</db>> <<char 'penny'>> stammered, clearly disoriented. <<db 'penny'>>I remember… getting us drinks…<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Fuck… How could I let this happen?<</db>> You looked at <<char 'penny'>>, who appeared just as worried as you felt. <<db 'mc'>>Do you know any medical personnel who can keep a secret?<</db>> You needed to know exactly what was in your system. She nodded quickly. You tossed her your phone from the nightstand and started getting dressed. After she made the call, she got dressed as well. Once your blood had been drawn, the two of you left the hotel in heavy silence and drove back to the mansion. <<img 'misc/ashford_mansion_outside_view.jpg'>> You and <<char 'penny'>> parted ways without a word. Your mind was still racing for answers as you returned to your room. It would take a couple of hours to get the blood report back. But you had other methods you could try. Recalling your old training, you sat down in a meditative stance. You cleared your mind and focused on the missing fragments from last night. It was a long shot… but any piece of memory could help. Suddenly, a brief flash appeared in your mind. <<vid 'c2/c2p9_penny_recollection_1.mp4'>> And then it vanished just as quickly. <<db 'mc'>><i>Fuck…</i><</db>> This was the worst possible outcome. You had definitely slept with <<char 'penny'>> in a drugged haze. Just then, you heard a knock on the door. <div class="choice">[[Continue|c2p11]]</div>

You opened the door, hoping it was <<char 'penny'>> with your bloodwork results. Instead, you found <<char 'dillion'>> standing there with a mischievous grin. <<db 'dillion'>>Hey, <<char 'mc'>>. May I come in?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Actually, this isn’t a great time for...<</db>> <<db 'dillion'>>Fine, then you can answer my question out here and I’ll leave. So… how did it feel sleeping with the witch?<</db>> Out of shock, you quickly pulled her into the room and locked the door behind her. <<db 'dillion'>>Ohhh… scary. Are you gonna silence me forever, soldier man?<</db>> The pieces fell into place instantly. She was behind last night’s misfortune. <<db 'mc'>>What did you do?<</db>> <<imgbg "misc/mc_bedroom.jpg" "chars/dillion/dillion_02.png" "120%" "left" -10 "1200px">> <<db 'dillion'>>What?

So… how was it?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>><i>Fuck… Outsmarted by a spoiled rich brat.</i><</db>> You had tunnel vision last night. Instead of watching the whole picture, you should have focused on the bartender who poured the drinks. A rookie mistake. <<db 'mc'>>What do you want?<</db>> <<db 'dillion'>>You’re pretty quick on the uptake. I like that. Unfortunately, you don’t have anything I want right now.

You knew what her game was. She did not need anything from you. She was just having fun. <<db 'mc'>>I have a strict policy against being coerced into doing dirty work for spoiled brats.<</db>> <<char 'dillion'>> laughed, clearly amused. <<db 'dillion'>>You’re no fun at all.<</db>> <div class="choice">[[Continue|c2p12]]</div>

<<db 'dillion'>>I’ll see you around.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Stop.<</db>> She paused and turned back to you with a raised eyebrow. <<db 'mc'>>What exactly were you planning to make <<char 'penny'>> do?<</db>> <<db 'dillion'>>Aww, you actually care about the witch? She’s dangerous, you know.<</db>> She smirked, clearly amused. <<db 'dillion'>>I just wanted her to put in a good word with Mom so she’d finally let me out. It's so hard being grounded you know.<</db>> You were taken aback. <<db 'mc'>>So you drugged us… just to get out of being grounded?<</db>> <<db 'dillion'>>And to get back at both of you, obviously.<</db>> She shrugged casually, as if it were no big deal. <<db 'dillion'>>Though I only drugged you. The witch had been starved for a piece of meat. I knew she wouldn’t be able to resist you once the opportunity presented itself.<</db>> <<db 'dillion'>>See you around, <<char 'mc'>>.<</db>> She slipped out of your room, leaving you standing there with far more questions than answers... especially regarding <<char 'penny'>> and why she had pretended to be drugged.

You went looking for <<char 'penny'>> and eventually found her in <<char 'cory'>>’s office. <<imgbg "misc/ashford_mansion_cory_office.png" "chars/penny/penny_05.png" "120%" "left" -149 "1200px">> <<db 'penny'>> <<char 'mc'>>, the blood test results still aren’t here yet…<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>You lied to me.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>What do you mean?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Don’t play dumb with me.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>We both know you weren’t drugged.

Right now.<</db>> <<char 'penny'>> remained silent for a long moment before she finally relented, letting out a heavy sigh. <<db 'penny'>>After you took that drink… you started to loosen up. That constant guard you keep around you was suddenly gone. We were drinking, dancing… and all of a sudden you started grinding up against me on the dance floor.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>At first I thought nothing of it… but then you kissed me on the back of my neck. When you pulled away, you asked me if I wanted to get out of there. You said it felt too hot inside.<</db>> <<db 'penny'>>The next thing I knew, we were making out in the car… and you wanted to come back here. By then I knew something was wrong, so I took you to a hotel room nearby instead.<</db>> <<db penny>>I helped you to your room and on to the bed... and when we got there, you wouldn't let go.

She disappeared behind the fitting room curtains with an excited bounce in her step. Before long, she stepped out wearing the first outfit: a sleeveless navy blue skater dress with white polka dots, paired with a bright red sweater casually draped over her shoulders.

<<char 'alexa'>> disappeared behind the curtains once more to change back into her original clothes.

He had those moments… He’d occasionally feel down, thinking about how he let you enlist to take care of us while he grew up sheltered. He was worried you were sacrificing too much for him…<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>He told you that?<</db>> <<db 'alexa'>>Yeah… especially the day of your first deployment. The day he found out about <<char 'carter'>> getting married and decided to hide it from you. Those days were particularly painful for him. He blamed himself for everything.<</db>> The name <<char 'carter'>> hit you like a punch to the gut... your childhood sweetheart. You grew up together, fell in love, made plans to get married before you enlisted. Though you kept in touch at first, the contact slowly faded. You thought it was because of her busy new job in the city… until she suddenly called to end things. You later learned she had started a relationship with her boss and decided to marry him shortly after you returned home. By then, you had already slept with <<char 'peta'>> during a moment of respite from the heat of battle during one of your missions. So you chose to cut <<char 'carter'>> out of your life completely. No closure. She simply ceased to exist as far as you were concerned. That way, you didn't have to deal with the guilt for cheating on her or deal with the pain of losing the life you had planned for the two of you. <<db 'mc'>>Damn it… I should have known he would feel this way. I should’ve talked some sense into him. Told him that none of it was his fault. It was all my choices and their consequences. The enlistment, getting deployed... all of it.

Is that true?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>The Major tends to exaggerate. I was just doing my job.<</db>> <<db 'eva'>>Modest too… Now you’ve really got me curious. Since we have some time, could you tell me the story? <<char 'peta'>> never gave me the specifics.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Sorry, Miss. We can’t really go into specifics. All I can say is that it involved an IED exploding under our transport, followed by an ambush.<</db>> <<db 'eva'>>Hm… that’s more than I ever got from <<char 'peta'>>.

We can hang out. Oh, and you can just call me <<char 'eva'>> by the way.<</db>> You nodded.

A couple of days before you shipped off to basic training… toward the end of your last date with <<char 'carter'>>… on your hometown beach… <<db 'carter'>>So… do you finally admit that I plan better dates than you?

<<set $storyflags['c2p22_flashback_carter_sex']=true>> You followed her straight back to the hotel beside the beach. The second the elevator doors closed, neither of you could hold back any longer. <<db 'carter'>>Wanna mess around in the elevator, <<char 'mc'>>?<</db>> She slipped one bikini strap off her shoulder, revealing her full breasts and the pierced nipples she had gotten as a gift from you on her 18th birthday. No matter how many times you had seen them, they still drove you wild. You struggled to keep the camera steady as she suddenly reached out and freed your hardening cock from your shorts. <<db 'mc'>>Oh my god… yes… You’re really horny tonight, aren’t you?<</db>> <<db 'carter'>>Mmm… very.<</db>> <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_01.mp4'>> You barely made it out of the elevator before she was pulling you down the hallway, her hand tightly gripping yours.

I need memories too.<</db>> <<db 'carter'>>You want me to tease you a little?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Yeah… get naked for me.<</db>> You kept filming as she slowly slid her mini skirt down her hips, then turned around, showing off her ass covered only by a thin pair of panties. <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_03.mp4'>> <<db 'mc'>>Alright baby… now lose the top.<</db>> With a seductive smile, she reached behind her back and untied her bikini top, letting it fall away and revealing her breasts once more. In the privacy of the room, there was no need for modesty. <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_04.mp4'>> She turned around, hooked her thumbs into her panties, and slid them down her legs, giving you a perfect view of her bare ass as they dropped to the floor. <<db 'mc'>>Look at yourself in the mirror…<</db>> You angled the camera toward the mirror as <<char 'carter'>> admired her own naked body. <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_05.mp4'>> <<db 'mc'>>Come here.<</db>> You pulled her close and kissed her deeply, your tongue exploring her mouth before pushing her gently onto her back on the bed. <<db 'mc'>>Touch yourself for me…<</db>> Completely naked with her legs spread wide for you and the camera, <<char 'carter'>> licked her fingers and began playing with her pussy, spreading her folds as she pleasured herself. <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_06.mp4'>> You leaned over her, moving from her lips to her breasts.

What started as inexperienced fumbling in your early days had long since become expert-level perfection. <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_09.mp4'>> Her technique was flawless — alternating between her warm mouth and her hand, squeezing and stroking you with just the right pressure. Her eyes flicked between you and the camera, but her focus remained exactly where it belonged. <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_10.mp4'>> <<db 'mc'>>Oh god, you’re amazing… Get your head against the headboard.<</db>> She did as you asked. You guided your cock back into her mouth and began fucking her face in slow, rhythmic thrusts while her fingers continued playing between her legs. <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_11.mp4'>> <<char 'carter'>> suddenly pushed you onto your back. Like a hungry vixen, she climbed on top, took your cock in her hand, positioned it at her entrance, and sank down onto you with a deep, satisfied moan. She began riding you with passionate intensity. <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_12.mp4'>> As her movements grew more desperate, you thrust up from below to match her pace, driving deeper into her with every bounce. <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_13.mp4'>> Your cock eventually slipped out of her with a wet sound. She slid down and took you back into her mouth, eagerly tasting herself on you. <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_14.mp4'>> She then spun around, giving the camera a perfect view of her stunning ass before lowering herself onto you in reverse cowgirl. She bounced with increasing fervor, her tight walls stretching around you with every descent. <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_15.mp4'>> <<db 'mc'>>My turn, baby…<</db>> You helped her off, set the phone on the nightstand (still recording), and pulled her back. You positioned her on her back, hooked one of her legs over your shoulder, and slid back inside her. <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_16.mp4'>> You continued thrusting deeply. <<char 'carter'>>’s moans turned into sharp, breathless cries as the new angle overwhelmed her with pleasure. <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_17.mp4'>> Finally, she whispered the words you had been waiting to hear. <<db 'carter'>>Will you fuck me in my ass?<</db>> That was all it took. You sped up, pounding her pussy harder, watching her breasts bounce with every thrust. <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_18.mp4'>> You pulled out, pressed the head of your cock against her tight little asshole, and slowly pushed in. This was a first for both of you. <<char 'carter'>> winced and cried out as you stretched her. <<db 'carter'>>Oh… fuck!!<</db>> <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_19.mp4'>> You moved slowly at first, letting her adjust while playing with her pierced nipples. Her moans soon shifted from pain to pure pleasure. <<db 'carter'>>Oh… it feels so good… I fucking love it…!<</db>> <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_20.mp4'>> You gradually increased your pace. Her cries grew louder as you took her ass with deeper, more confident strokes. <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_21.mp4'>> You briefly pulled out, giving her a moment of relief, but she immediately begged for more. She folded her legs against her chest, waiting eagerly. You slid back in, her tight ring gripping you as she let out a long, aching moan. <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_22.mp4'>> Her screams filled the room as you intensified your thrusts, making the bed shake. You flipped her onto all fours and re-entered her from behind. She gripped the sheets tightly, crying out in ecstasy. <<db 'carter'>>Ohhh god… yes, fuck my ass…!<</db>> <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_24.mp4'>> She eventually collapsed onto her stomach under the force of your thrusts, but neither of you wanted to stop. You kept pounding her until the pressure became unbearable. You pulled out, and she quickly slid down onto her knees in front of you. She grabbed your cock with both hands, stroking it furiously before taking you back into her mouth. The moment you felt yourself tipping over the edge, she pulled back, stuck her tongue out, and looked up at you with eager eyes. Thick ropes of cum splashed across her tongue and lips. She took you back into her mouth, sucking gently to milk every last drop, then smiled for the camera with your cock still resting on her tongue. <<vid 'c2/c2p22_flashback_carter_sex_26.mp4'>> <div class="choice">[[Continue|c2p22_after_flashback_carter_sex]]</div>

I really enjoyed that.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>It wasn’t the most professional move, but some people just rub you the wrong way. I hope it doesn’t cause you any trouble.<</db>> <<db 'abella'>>Oh, not at all. To be honest, I was secretly hoping you’d punch his damn face.<</db>> <</if>> <<db 'mc'>>He doesn’t seem like the type to let things go easily. Should I be worried?<</db>> <<db 'abella'>>I’d be lying if I said he was harmless. The guy was born with a silver spoon up his ass and all the arrogance that comes with it. But I don’t think you need to worry about him just yet.<</db>> A brief pause settled between you as the wind picked up. <<db 'abella'>>I know it’s only been a couple of days, but how are you finding life in Veilstone City?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>It’s pretty good. Though it’s definitely going to take some getting used to.<</db>> <<db 'abella'>>Hm… The woman who came with you, <<char 'alexa'>>, was it? I haven’t had the chance to get to know her yet. She’s your sister-in-law, right? Married to your late brother?<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Yes. He passed away in an accident a while back. They were childhood sweethearts.

The conversation flowed easily for a while longer. You talked about life in Veilstone, the quirks of the <<char 'Ashford'>> family, and even shared a few light stories from your time in the military. <<char 'abella'>> was surprisingly good company — sharp, witty, and far more down-to-earth than you had initially expected. Not at all like what <<char penny>> described in her briefing. <<db 'abella'>>We should probably head back. I’ve taken up enough of your time today.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Not at all. I enjoyed the conversation.<</db>> You both stood up and walked back toward the car. The drive home was comfortable, filled with casual banter. By the time you reached the mansion, the sky had turned a deep orange. <<vid 'misc/car_inside.mp4'>> As you parked the car, <<char 'abella'>> turned to you with a small, genuine smile. <<db 'abella'>>Thanks for coming with me today. I know it wasn’t exactly in your job description.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>Anytime. Just let me know if you need backup again.<</db>> <<db 'abella'>>I might just take you up on that.<</db>> She gave you one last playful look before stepping out of the car and heading inside.

She’s now a D-level employee in our revenue department.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>That’s great to hear. But what exactly is a D-level employee?<</db>> <<db 'cory'>>It’s a system <<char 'dani'>> came up with. Not everyone doing the same job gets paid the same. The base salary is equal, but there’s an added incentive based on employee level. It goes from D to A — D being the lowest and A the highest. It’s calculated by an overly complicated formula that <<char 'dani'>> herself designed, based on performance, how employees treat each other, going above and beyond, helping colleagues, and so on.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I see. So what level am I?<</db>> <<db 'cory'>>You’re outside the classification for obvious reasons.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>I see. One more question… regarding <<char 'alexa'>>’s interview. Aren’t there usually multiple rounds before someone gets hired?<</db>> <<db 'cory'>>We usually only hire fresh graduates from elite universities. We do our own thorough vetting before even offering an interview. So if you pass the interview, the job is yours. But if you can’t handle it, we simply move on to the next candidate.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>That makes sense. So the interview itself is relatively easy… the hard part is getting the interview in the first place.<</db>> <<db 'cory'>>Exactly.<</db>> <<db 'mc'>>By the way, any word on when <<char 'dani'>> will be back?<</db>> <<db 'cory'>>Not yet, but I’ll let you know the moment I hear something. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to have a talk with <<char 'dillion'>>.<</db>> You nodded and headed back to your room. You waited for <<char 'alexa'>> to return. A little while later, you heard a knock on your door. The moment you opened it, she jumped into your arms and hugged you tightly, nearly knocking you off balance. <<db 'alexa'>>I got it!

How would your relationship with <<char 'alexa'>> change? The alcohol was clearly fueling your thoughts. <<db 'mc'>>I… I don’t know.<</db>> <<db 'priya'>>Okay… picture this then. <<char 'alexa'>> has a new job at one of the best companies in the country. She’s going to meet new people… new guys. She’ll always be your family… but that doesn’t mean she’ll only be your family.

You finally returned to your bedroom and crashed onto the bed. Thanks to the alcohol, sleep claimed you quickly.

You look around... it was morning already. <<db 'mc'>><i>Fuck… not again.</i><</db>> The dream about <<char 'alexa'>> had felt far too vivid. You sat up, running a hand through your hair, trying to shake off the lingering images. The guilt weighed heavily on your chest. Deciding you needed to clear your head, you headed straight for the bathroom and took a long, cold shower. The icy water helped ground you, washing away the haze of the dream and the remnants of last night’s alcohol.

The walk to the inn was short but charged with tension. Neither of you spoke much, but the occasional glance and knowing smile from <<char 'kalina'>> said everything. When you reached her room, she slid the keycard in and pushed the door open. The moment the door clicked shut behind you, the restraint vanished. <<char 'kalina'>> turned toward you, but you were already moving. You pulled her close and kissed her hard, your mouth claiming hers with raw hunger. She moaned into the kiss, her hands immediately grabbing your shirt. You pushed her against the wall, deepening the kiss as your tongues danced aggressively. Your hands roamed her body, sliding down her sides before gripping the hem of her dress. In one swift motion, you pulled it up and over her head, tossing it aside. She wasn’t wearing a bra. Her breasts spilled free as she worked frantically on your belt. You helped her, shedding your shirt and kicking off your pants, leaving both of you nearly naked in seconds. You lifted her effortlessly, her legs wrapping around your waist as you carried her to the bed. You laid her down and climbed on top, pinning her beneath you. <<char 'kalina'>>’s breathing was already ragged as you kissed her neck, then lower, sucking on her breasts while your hand slipped between her thighs, finding her soaking wet. <<db 'kalina'>>Fuck… you don’t waste time, do you?<</db>> You answered by kissing her fiercely again, then moved down her body.

Her lips sealed tightly around your cock as she began sucking you with slow, deep strokes, her tongue swirling around the head before taking you deeper. You groaned, one hand sliding into her hair as she bobbed her head, eagerly working more of your length into her mouth. The wet sounds of her sucking filled the room as she pleasured you with surprising skill. You shot up from the bed, but <<char 'kalina'>> refused to release you.

The urge to take control overwhelmed you. You slid your hand to the back of her head, fingers tangling in her hair as you pushed deeper into her throat. Lewd, wet glugging sounds echoed through the room while you fucked her face, turning it into a sloppy, drooling mess. Saliva dripped down her chin as you held her down, forcing your thick shaft against the back of her throat. You savored the tight, pulsing heat for a long moment before finally pulling back, letting her gasp desperately for air. <<vid 'intro/ip11_kalina_sex_02.mp4'>> <<db 'mc'>>Turn around. I want you from behind.<</db>> Not giving her time to obey, you flipped her over roughly. Your gaze locked onto her tight, perfect ass.

But you weren’t finished yet. You pinned one of her legs again, drove back inside her slick, clenching heat, and continued pounding her relentlessly. <<vid 'intro/ip11_kalina_sex_10.mp4'>> Her screams turned desperate and broken, yet her body still begged for more. She was utterly insatiable. Eventually your cock slipped out of her, leaving her shaking and reeling from the overwhelming pleasure. <<db 'mc'>>What are you waiting for? Come here and suck my cock.<</db>> You guided her toward you. She eagerly took you back into her mouth, tasting herself all over your throbbing shaft. Like a starving animal, she swallowed you deep, forcing your cock to the back of her throat with every relentless, hungry stroke. <<vid 'intro/ip11_kalina_sex_11.mp4'>> <<db 'mc'>>You ready for more?<</db>> She answered by rolling onto her back, spreading her legs wide, and presenting her glistening, well-fucked pussy to you.
