Chapter 12: Magically Binding
While I nodded, nearly fapping, suddenly there came a clapping,
As of some one gently slapping, blapping at my chamber door.
"Nevermore."
Diane glanced back at Honoka and gave her an odd look. The afro-asian woman, for her part, gazed forward with a serene expression as if she meant to speak gibberish. The succubus rolled her eyes, stepping to the door and peering through the peephole before opening the entry to their suite at the Tremain Hotel.
"Hello, glad you made it," Diane said, stepping aside to let the pair in. Fiery hair pulled back into adorable twin-tails at the base of her neck, the rest of her outfit could have easily been discarded onto the floor of a porno. Dressed in a professional-ish outfit, the succubus filled out what could best be described as Office Slut Chic. White blouse with black pencil skirt, she would blend into any corporate building as a secretary if not for half her buttons undone to reveal burgeoning freckled cleavage, or if the blouse wasn't translucent enough to show the silhouette of her black bra underneath, or if the red pumps weren't flexing her calves up so much, or if the skirt wasn't so high up her thighs she didn't expose the garters holding her lace stockings or exposing her black thong when she bent over...
Honoka gulped, smoothing her white skirt and adjusting her cobalt blouse, trying to focus on their guests. Although only noon, this morning was the first day of her new, raw diet and she once again grew to abnormal - for her - proportions. Then, the best part of waking up involved a blowjob in her cup, but that was hours ago. Ergo, while it wasn't an emergency yet, being in the same hotel room as three beautiful women turned her on.
"Sweet digs," Eve said, glancing around the suite and admiring the modern colonial-style Diane booked, noting two chairs - one larger and specially brought in by the front desk - in front of a table and across from a loveseat. The goblin wore the same outfit she had at the FDR building, faded blue coveralls smeared in more stains and her face looking like it got too much car exhaust. Giving Diane an unabashed leer, she turned around and threw Honoka a thumbs up. "Classy."
"Try to avoid scaring another perspective guildmate because of your appetite." The other woman - Banda! Honoka finally remembered - ducked her head down and shuffled in sideways to fit and not scrape the door frame with her horns. She also looked like she came off work, her uniform a pair of overalls covered in mud and what smelled like...not mud. Not rancid, not abhorrent, but definitely pungent. The overalls cut off at the knees, her hooves only trailing a little dirt into the room.
"Pish-posh, the girl is a succubus! Even if she wasn't, there is no way she wouldn't want a little green in her—"
Thankfully, Diane cut in by handing them each a stapled bunch of papers after closing and locking the door. "Before we go any further, there are two things we need to get out of the way. First, while I have no issues with the more vulgar parts of the English language, Honoka would prefer you keep your words...tame." Diane skillfully pointed out the first page of the documents and smiled. "As she put it to me last week, saying these words around her is a deal-breaker, and I go where my fiancé goes."
"That's bullsh—" Eve got her mouth covered by a massive three fingered hand and received a brown-eyed glare from the minotauress.
"If you can't say anything polite for a single meeting, then
Shut. Up."
Banda removed her hand and read the sheet. "Try to give the midget a little slack, she normally doesn't have a filter." Flipping the page, her eyes widened and she dropped the papers like they were poisonous. "Holy sh—!"
This time Eve kicked Banda, hard enough to draw a little blood with her clawed feet. "If you can't say anything polite for a single meeting, then shut your cow-hole," she imitated with a ton of sarcasm slathered on top.
"That's a Binding Contract!" When Banda declared that she stepped back, her eyes darting between the locked door and the two calm women who trapped her here. The goblin woman also dropped the papers on the floor with a hiss and shuffled away.
"Yes, but you didn't read it." Diane bent down (giving Honoka a fantastic view) and picked up both sets of paper, tapping them on her skirt. "If you read through the Contract, you'll find it is a very particular,
very
limited form of NDA, not some kind of slavery thing."
"Those things are illegal," Eve said, though she calmed down. Unlike Banda, who looked ready to bolt.
"No, just highly regulated." Honoka finally spoke, immediately grabbing the attention of the two monstrous women. "Look, there are some things we need to tell you before joining up as a guild, putting all our cards on the table. I'm afraid the Contracts are the only way we ensure that you keep our secrets safe."
Getting a stack of a hundred of those contracts - the rest stored in a safety deposit box under Honoka's name - burned up one of Diane's most valuable favors and still cost her twenty thousand dollars. But as she repeatedly told Honoka, they wouldn't be able to recruit anyone safely without them. The
binding
part of the Contract was a magical curse. It had proven universally unbreakable, though a shrewd person might get around it because it only bound to the precise letter of the Contract. Generally, though, there were enough horror stories from the first years of the Change that people avoided even touching them, afraid to literally lose their soul.
Diane placed the Contracts on the table in the center of the suite, two sets of pens and sterile pins already arranged there. Honoka and the succubus then moved over and sat on the sofa across the room, waiting.
Eve glanced up at Banda, her face turning serious. "This might be your only chance." Walking forward confidently, the goblin pushed the smaller of the available chairs closer and picked up the Contract, reading each word intently. Banda followed after a minute of uncomfortable silence, easing into her chair slowly as it creaked under her weight. She did not pick up the Contract.
"Is there anything you can tell us before we decide on this...thing?" Banda asked as Eve continued reading.
"Yes, there are a few matters," Diane said, leaning forward to stretch her wings a bit. "First, I'm a level eight Alchemist with Essence Extractor as one of my Class features. I won't be much use as a primary delver, but I have quality recipes for healing, utility and attack potions. Any delve you make will be a hundred times safer and all my potions will be offered at cost."
Eve whistled, the sound oddly tinny as it passed through her fangs. "That might be worth the price of admission. At level eight, fights would break out from guilds crawling over themselves to recruit you." Finishing the last page, she set the papers back on the table and gave Honoka a shrewd, red eye. "And that's the part offered for free. What's your secret?"
"Worth more than a level eight alchemist." Honoka met the glare while gesturing at the Contract, her statement only lightly marred as she perspired from nerves and arousal.
"Ha! I gotta say, that is some
Art Of The Deal
shi...crap right there!" Eve flipped to the last page and signed her name, pricked her thumb and landed the print with a small flash and a puff of smoke. Then she looked at the horrified Banda and shrugged. "The Contract is specific and doesn't have any unclear language to be misconstrued. So long as we are in this suite, anything discussed relating to Class, Race and Status - as pertaining to those two or anyone else with something called
Infusion of Eitr
listed in their Status - cannot be shared or inferred in any way shape or form without the express, non-coerced permission of Honoka Jefferson. The Contract stipulates that it is void if anyone signing learns the information shared is illegal or if the signers are forced in any way to agree to terms outlined by said information. It sounds like a lot, but the gist of it is they don't want us sharing their Status information with people, we can leave any time and that would be it. If they try to force us to do anything, the Contract is canceled."
Banda didn't reply, picking up the Contract like it would bite her, but taking her time to read it. On the last page, stopping to look over at Honoka and Diane, she signed and bloodied the page before leaning back into her chair, slumping with an
I'm going to regret this
mien.
Both Diane and Honoka relaxed, the first significant hurdle passed. Noticing Honoka's remaining distress, Diane took the lead.
