Cory came home to his apartment at nine at night, then dimmed the lights and sat down at his bedroom desk. He glanced at the collection of anime monster girl figurines to his left, then opened up his laptop again and refreshed the page.
One new message. Maybe this was it. Maybe someone was finally responding to his post with a roleplay prompt. He opened his inbox, seeing what messages he got...
The title disappointed him.
Post Removed (sorry!)
He went on to read the rest of it. There must have been some mistake.
"Your post has been removed for not including a full kinklist. Please include a *full* kinklist on your next post and feel free to resubmit."
He rolled his eyes. But he had a kinklist! It wasn't one of those giant charts everyone assembled by spending two hours checking boxes, it was just a list of 5-6 things he liked and 5-6 things he didn't like. But fine. If he had to do it the proper way, then so be it.
He found the recommended kinklist format after a little digging. There were a staggering one hundred and fifty bubbles he had to fill out...
He started clicking, filling in all his likes and dislikes, but after filling in thirty bubbles, his brain was already exhausted. He wanted to do a goddamn succubus roleplay, not do math homework! He had enough of that in college, and he didn't want to go back to college; his ex-girlfriends didn't want to wear sexy japanese outfits outside the bedroom, no matter how many times he bribed them with romantic dinners.
In retrospect, fast food was probably not a good offering for a "romantic dinner", but Cory didn't want to think about his exes anymore. He wanted to think about roleplaying with a cute girl, or really, a normal girl, or an ugly girl, or a ugly guy, or a hot guy, or a human with an incomprehensible gender, as long as they were willing to roleplay as a sexy succubus.
He kept filling in bubbles and got up to eighty. Where was the "monster girl" bubble? He wished it was there so he could bubble it in as a favorite. Instead there was just "monster". Monster was too vague! It covered everything from werewolves to three headed sharks to giant fire elementals to sexy succubi and sexy lamias and sexy catgirls and sexy slime girls.
The exhaustion grew and his interest waned. He reassured himself. He was halfway there. Actually, more than halfway...
He got to the one hundred and twentieth bubble when he got the urge to check his messages again. He tabbed out of the kinklist generator, refreshed, and saw that he had one message. He looked at the message title...
Kinkster2222: Saw post, am interested.
Excitement ran through him as he opened it.
"Hiya! I saw your succubus roleplay post and that scenario just turned me on so much. I like your writing style (half the posts i see are barely legible, is typing with one hand really that hard?) and you and I like similar message lengths. Can you tell me more about yourself?"
He closed the tab with his kinklist, erasing all his progress. He wasn't gonna need that. It was succubus roleplay time!
"I'm Cory," he typed. "I'm 23 and I'm just a sucker for succulent succubi. I've probably been following succubus artists and eroic writers for... five years? I just recently got into roleplaying though. Couldn't find anyone for the succubus prompt last time so i settled for a catgirl prompt, it was fun but i like succubi more. Thanks for responding!"
He hit send, only noticing the typo in "erotic" after he sent it. Dammit! He wanted to seem literate to whoever this was.
He got a new reply from Kinkster2222 in one minute.
"Great! I'm Lisa! I just turned 19 and grew up with religious parents... they weren't too bad, but I guess I stopped being a good faithful girl when I decided to roleplay a succubus, huh? Well, screw religion, we're here for sexy times! Anyway, here's my kinklist, can you send me yours? The shorter 150 bubble version is enough if you don't want to do the full 250 like I did"
He threw up his hands in despair. God dammit. He would have to do it all over again.
He didn't even look at her own kinklist: he raced to the kinklist generator, filling in the bubbles as fast as he could, aided by the fact that he already did most of it just a few minutes ago. He tagged a long list of likes, dislikes, nopes, favorites, and some indifferent kinks as well, and in a few minutes, he was finally, finally ready. He started typing.
"Of course! Just filled this out: here's a link. As far as my character goes, I guess I'll just play myself lol. I'm a taller guy with brown hair and glasses and a sort of femboy look going on, I hope that's alright."
He waited for a response. Instead of checking funny macroeconomics blogs like he usually did when he needed to kill a few minutes, he readied some succubus pictures in case she needed a reference for her character. Red-skinned ones in a western artstyle. Pink haired anime girls with bat wings, horns, and a tail. A few succubus cosplayers. And then several more pink haired anime girls for good measure.
The response came.
"Lovely kinklist! BDSM, mind control, femdom, submission, noncon, dubcon, and so much more... I'm into all that. How does this sound? My character is a black-haired beauty who by day, is a successful stock broker with an uncanny ability to influence people, and by night, a magical pink-haired succubus who uses her hypnotic magic to seduce men and feed on the sexual energy created from intense arousal. She can shapeshift and has white horns and a loooong black tail in her true form. No wings though, she gets around by teleporting and by shapeshifting into an unassuming guise and walking around. As for her name, how about I use mine? Lisa's a good succubus name."
Cory was already imagining her in his head. Tall, wearing a sophisticated suit, radiating power... then at night, taking off the suit and changing her features to radiate a completely different kind of raw sexual power.
"Sounds good," he replied. "Feeding off sexual energy is great, everyone does succubus feeding differently. Not a fan of the ones that eat your soul. But your character might claim ownership of my soul, depends on how this goes."
He got a fast reply. "Excellent! I have done roleplays where I ate the whole soul, or drained their life energy, or whatever, but it's nothing i'm overly attached to. Feeding off sexual energy... you know, it's the food you make together that's the most delicious."
