[Day 28 | Day 9 at Topaz Island]
I wake up again to an odd position. Rin had climbed over me again. This will be awkward tonight if both of my girls want to sleep on my chest. Or maybe Hana will also climb, so I'll just have two girls piled on top of me when I awaken. I gently reposition her with telekinesis.
..This puts her rear within perfect range of my hands. I really can't get enough of them. The perfect mixture of squishy and firm, in a soft, smooth package. My manhood shows its appreciation for her fantastic bod, poking against her leg and waking her up. "Hmm..morning," she mumbles at me. "You're excited early. Don't you have a lady later today? You insatiable man."
I command the house to bring the lights up to a dim setting while I aim a kiss at Rin's voice. It connects. "My body can't help itself when the woman I love presses herself against me."
She smirks, then brings her hands up to her face. With only her index and middle fingers extended, she kisses her two fingers, then presses them to my penis. "Ask me any time, and I'll show you that love." She stretches up to give me a peck, then gets up. "But Hana is coming back today, so I'll let her have a turn before Ban'yun has you for a few days after. Love you!" And she walks out the door.
Heh. She's wonderful. I really want to feel said love again sometime.
I shake my head. Let's get on with the day. What needs to happen? Well, obviously the sixth woman will be along eventually for me to stud. I have to finish the shrine, altar, whatever today... Which of those sounds less religious? Shrine, I think. Let's go with that. Mostly I need more Topaz portals. So I think I need to set aside a stock of them. But, I also want the shrine's Topaz to be larger so it can fit through the Gate scroll if I need to for whatever reason. If Hana is coming back today, I'll want to set aside some time for her. Sex if she's in the mood, simply my company otherwise. I kind of want to ask Wed about soundproofing materials at some point. But maybe only for Rin's cart, I like hearing the crickets and other night time noises. If I do soundproof only Rin's cart, I'll make love with Rin in her home instead of mine, unless we're alone in the camp. I'll have to ask Rin how she feels about that.. Well, she's still in camp, let's do it now.
I toss on some clothes and jog over to Rin's home. She left the door open, so I pop my head in. "Hey Rin, question for you."
She looks over at me. She's getting dressed. Unfortunately, all the goods are covered. What a pity. "What's up Grey?" She must have picked up the neutral tone in my voice, as she's no longer trying to get a rise out of me.
Me, "I want to talk about soundproofing your cart. If we do, we can safely enjoy our private time together without anyone hearing you. There's been nobody around
to
hear you in the past, but since you're, ah, exuberant during sex, it means I won't have anywhere to make love with you when we're traveling."
She blushes more and more as I talk. I guess she's still nervous about others knowing. "Um. I see. Either your cart or mine is fine. How... loud am I?"
Me, "Fairly loud. But don't feel self conscious; I enjoy it, truly." She takes a deep breath and nods. Hmm, perhaps a little more reassurance is in order? I am having a hard time telling, but better too much than not enough.
I step into the house, walk up to her, and give her a big hug. Her arms are pressed against my chest. "I like you just the way you are. Don't worry about the little stuff." I stroke her hair.
After a little bit, I back away. Rin looks up at me, and nods, face becoming confident. "I won't worry about it, then."
Me, "Good." That's all I had, so I head out.
Alright, let's start with checking in. I use Gate to check in as usual. Fre is there for me again today, passing along a message that Wed would like to attend my marriage, and to summon him the morning of the next day. I deliver the cubes I made, and that's that.
Next was... Right, a large Topaz. I grab a good size hunk of Topaz from the site around the bath, and mash it into a rough sphere while I walk over to Sentral. About an inch and a half in diameter. I enter Sentral's box, nod to the golem (no response), and grab a scroll. I stick the Topaz to a wall for a sec, and tighten the roll on the scroll. Yup, smaller than 1.5 inches. Safe.
I put the scroll back on the shelf, and unfuse the Topaz. Time to spin and cut.
- - -
... easier said than done. It takes me three hours to get the sphere's shape and cut right. Larger spheres give me more opportunities to mess up, it seems, but I eventually manage.
I fuse both halves to opposite walls, facing in, activate them, and have Sentral float a scroll through them. It comes out on the other side just fine. Excellent. I clean up the experiment, then take some Jade to make a single use tablet for one half. 'Topaz Island Shrine' I inscribe, then fuse in one half of the larger hemisphere, facing out. It's still covered with Jade, but I can peel it back if I need to send something through. I fuse it to the wall next to the 50 bird one. Hmm. I craft another tablet, inscribe 'Satellite 1, Jericho' and take the relevant Topaz and shove it in. With this one, I point the portal side at the wall.
Let's check in on that. I open the portal, and connect to the satellite. I look down, and while the planet is still massive, it's further away. The divide between night and day is roughly below me. So far so good. I reverse the view and appreciate the stars for a moment, then disconnect. Alright, let's finish the shrine.
I start towards the village, but some kid intercepts me on the way to the shrine. "The chief wants to talk to you. Can you do lunch now?"
I shrug, and tell him "Sure." What's the stew today, I wonder. Well, I already know. They're still trying to use the meat of that monster. No complaints though.
It is, as expected, Sea God meat. Seems they're trying a new spice blend. Less spicy, more.. I can't quite describe it. Something between tangy and citrus.
The chief sits down. "Hello, Chief A'yado. I hear you wanted to talk?"
He nods. "Hello, Grey. Yes, I did. I ask your understanding, today's woman no longer desires to be gifted a child today. They have a situation and have requested your patience."
Huh. Bummer. "Okay, not a problem. I hope they are doing okay."
He nods. "They'll be fine. No other women from our tribe have volunteered today, so perhaps another tribe would be interested."
Me, "I'll think about it." I won't think about it, I'll just play with Hana, or save it for tomorrow's time with Ban'yun. "New spices today?"
He takes a bite. "Different lead cook. Different people spice the meat differently. When I lead, I use too much, and people complain. I no longer lead from the kitchen." He chuckles. "They don't understand that more is better. A shame." He smiles as he takes another spoonful of stew.
A few others join us and talk about the Sea God corpse. It was decided that the corpse had degraded too much, and they rolled it back into the sea. Too much of the collected meat was unusable, and the problem would only get worse, so further harvesting ended there. But they've got enough meat stocked to last for weeks. Probably. One of the tribesmen says, "The cooks are preserving it as though it were fish meat. Nobody really knows the best way to preserve it, so some of the meat was set aside to try other methods. Some of the meat from different sections of the beast seems different from other sections, so it will take them time to figure it out."
I guess it's like how one part of pigs becomes bacon, another part is used for ham, and yet a different part is for pork?
A'yado finishes his meal, nods at everyone at the table, and leaves. I stand up as well, wave, and go to the shrine.
First things first is hiding this hemisphere in the shrine somewhere. I decide to put it in the skull, in a thin layer of Jet, to prevent discoloration by protecting it from the sun. Once fused in, I connect to the shrine, open the portal, and feel it temporarily merge with Sentral's box, and Sentral itself, on the other side.
Oh, that reminds me. I sit in the altar and place my hand on the floor. 'Sentral, are you upset that I ask you to do things for me, including emptying the waste water?'
'No,' comes the reply.
