The following is an experiment. I haven't been writing a lot and my therapist has encouraged that I get back at it. There is not going to be any rhyme or reason to this. No editing, no second draft: going commando here! Expect there to be lots of BE, FMG, GTS, Futa and other sexual growth going on, but there might be whole chapters where I complain about how badly they are adapting a favorite book series.
Your guess is as good as mine as to what happens next, though I imagine this chapter will include some sexy. Let's find out what happened to me after getting that collar around my neck last chapter.

"You know what, Dr. Galore? Your therapy machine sucks!"
At least, that is what Ai wanted to scream. She wanted to do something, but after her captor threw her in the back of a cart with other junk and dead fantasy creatures, she was soon covered by rotting carcasses and it was all she could do - trapped inside her mind and unable to move anything more than her eyelids - not to completely shut down. Ai was supposed to be in therapy, this was supposed to help with her severe mental issues. She did not want nor did she need to be buried under what appeared to be half of a bloody and mangled walrus with tits.
"Whatcha gonna do wit da money we git?" asked a voice Ai learned through the elimination process belonged to Melody. Because of Ai's movement impairment, there was no face Ai could yet see to go with the raspy growl that pitched and inflected towards a young girl. Regardless, Ai already thought Melody as one of those sluts from High School only knowing how to belittle others but wasn't pretty enough to be on the cheer squad.
"Pro'ly buy a bunch o' eggs, like a hun'red o' 'em." Now Ai listened for it, she could hear the hiss in the creature named Dantk. The hitches in his voice likely from the long and thick forked tongue she noticed before. Ai could care less, because the moment she got loose, she would beat him to death and make a nice pair of boots.
The back and forth between Ai's captors went on for hours. Despite being naked, collared with some kind of slavery device, not knowing if she were about to be sold into prostitution or as some creature's
hors d'oeuvres
and buried under rotting and sweltering meat dripping onto her from a desert sun, Ai was convinced listening to these two imbeciles must be penance for her past life. Here she was, either trapped in another world under some kind of
isekai transported-to-another-world
scenario, or still in the machine like Douglas Quaid and any moment triple tits or mutant prophesy babies are going to pop out of nowhere. The chatter between these two mouth breathers was enough to distract away from all that and drive her to indiscriminate murder.
Is murder indiscriminate if they deserve it? I mean, does it become indiscriminate justice? But because they deserve it, does that make it discriminate? What's the etymology of discriminate?
Before her internal rant could go any further, Ai heard something different. And different - whether good or bad, at this point - was different.
By the great Googly Moogly, where ever or whatever I am, my meds have worn off.
If Ai were capable of screaming in frustration, she would.
It took another hour to make any sense of it. As the cart pulled along towards the sounds, Ai deduced they were heading towards a place with lots of people. A bazaar of some sort, because it didn't sound like a park, it sounded like the Stock Exchange mixed with a zoo: people screaming, animals screaming, people sounding like animals screaming. The longer it took, the more Ai realized it wasn't they were close, rather it must have been so large and loud that even miles away it could be heard. When the cart finally stopped and Dantk made some talk with a guard or police officer, the din becoming cacophonous and Ai strained to hear.
"Anythin' ta declare?" someone spoke like a washing machine, and for a moment Ai thought this might be it, this is when she would be discovered and saved.
"Found some girl ta sell at da market," Dantk replied, dashing hope before it could gain steam.
The bloated walrus meat lifted off Ai for a moment, the light again blinding her. She wasn't looking the right way to see this new creature, but with a hand the size of a snow shovel looking to be made entirely out of obsidian. A moment of blinding light, then the walrus painfully fell back on top of Ai with a splorp.
"Two copper."
Ai reasoned Dantk paid the money, because they were moving again soon after and...
...honestly, Ai wondered why she wasn't crying. This was a new world, she was a slave, and she was more angry and annoyed than catatonic? Was this part of the machine? It was supposed to get rid of her anxieties. She wasn't even worried that she wasn't worried, but she did make a mental note to wonder why sometime in the future...if she had a future...
"Dantk, I told you, if you
ever
slithered into my market again..."
Lost in her thoughts, Ai snapped back when a cultured voice spoke up. Also, the noise still roared, but it seemed more muted here than earlier. With no other context, the captive woman paid attention and tried to wonder if the enemy of her enemy was also her enemy.
"I gotta live 'un, 'onest!" Dantk replied, the cart coming to a sudden stop and shifting Ai enough to bump her head. "Top q'ality meat!"
No more talking happened near the cart, but a minute later the walrus glowed with a fiery red aura before lifting off her entirely and Ai stared face to crotch with a bearded man who must have only been a foot tall. Also, adding to all the confusion going on around her, his left arm a Cyberdyne style robonetic. And really, when faced with a one foot tall bearded cyborg, Ai could be forgive she didn't notice anything else about him.
"Hmm, can not say I am a fan of purple, but I am sure I can find a buyer." The gnome reached down and pulled open Ai's mouth, inspecting her like cattle. "Has a bit of demonic. Not enough to charge succubus prices, though I am not confident what she is, really. Give me the bracelet and we will talk price."
