[Apollymi]

Chiyo was travelling with the Sky King towards the place they actually lived and carrying on a conversation while enjoying their time together in the sky. A snarky comment from her male companion seemed to pull from her only a chuckle and a rather devious fanged grin. "Fuck, I mean you're more than welcome to try~" she chimed in while she practically danced in the sky. Each movement she made seemed to take her up around and generally all over the place, in the space immediately around the Sky King. She seemed more than a bit amused as she caught sight of his apparent disgust at the fact that his sister might have gotten rid of his room in remaking the house. "Fuck, if you make faces like that... your face will eventually get stuck that way Shoichi~" she teased finding this rather amusing, as sibling dynamics often were. All this would occur and the two would eventually find themselves at the house they'd previously inhabited with it looking quite a bit different.

[Bloodedge]

"Was that an offer?" was the white-haired male's retort. Moving right along, Shoichi continued his erratic flight pattern until such a time as they arrived where their home once was. Upon seeing the very immaculate building complete with a massive and divided pool to separate the main building from what seemed to be a pool house large enough to be home to another family. On the main building, there was a balcony placed over a sun room, and this was Shoichi's target for landing. "Sugoi! We finally got a proper exit from this place!"

[Apollymi]

"Fuck, more like a challenge or a dare. But feel free to take it as you wish." the Ice Queen mentioned. It was strange but this conversation felt right to her, so she didn't try to stop it from happening, and the things falling out of her face seemed perfectly normal to her in present company so she wouldn't bother with pretense. Such seemed to be how she was now, all while maintaining a fanged grin. As the house came into view Chiyo's eyes widened. It was now a massive palatial spread of a place complete with a roof over a sun room that she also aimed to land upon along with Shoichi. She had to agree that the place looked great from the outside and she was more than amazed by the several pools included as part of the landscaping among other things. "Sugei!~ But fuck am I gonna miss jumping out of my window at night~" she chimed her statement somewhat sarcastic as she rolled towards the door. "Let's explore, this place is fuckin' huge!!~" she uttered excitedly.

[Bloodedge]

"Have it your way~" Shoichi said in a sing-song voice, deciding in his mind to accept this alleged challenge at his leisure. Without further ado, though, he stepped inside and began hovering around the building. "You can still jump out your window, but why would you? That balcony is where it's at!" As he moved down the halls, Shoichi checked every bedroom possible. Not much to his surprise, he found none that would be classified as his own, in spite of the rooms being furnished as closely to the former house's specifics as possible. Eventually, he gave up on thinking he would get a room, and chose to barge in on what he assumed to be the master bedroom claimed by Roze. When he entered, he found it to be a very generic suite with a note placed atop a large, perfectly made bed. "Oro?" he questioned aloud, taking the piece of paper into his hand to read it. It took him a moment, but Shoichi was soon staring at this parchment in shock and utter disbelief.

[Apollymi]

Chiyo chuckled and had nothing but her own kind of reply ready. "Fuck, I plan for everything to be my way~" she mentioned as she rolled around inside the new place looking in at bedrooms. She didn't bother asking which one would be hers, figuring that she'd likely just ask Roze whenever they happened to stumble across the woman which she figured would be sometime before she required a bed to sleep in. Regardless of this fact, she followed Shoichi around as he hovered through the new house and seemed to be completely amused and spoke as such. "Well, it won't be any fun jumping out of a window, when we got a space meant exactly for take off and landing..." she said with childish impudence. Upon reaching a very large room which looked to be the master suite she found Shoichi soon picking up a note, and after he read it... he seemed to be a bit stunned for lack of a better term. She rolled around him and looked up. "Fuck, what is that look for?" she asked curiously.

[Bloodedge]

Shoichi hadn't realized Chiyo was following him. This was brought to his attention when she was literally standing in front of him and asking him a question. He took a few more moments to read the note again for clarification, after which he shared the information from it. "It's from Roze. She says she doesn't need the house anymore, so... have at it. I thought I really didn't have a bedroom, but apparently this one's mine." With that said, Shoichi averted his gaze from the note to look around the room, tossing the piece of paper back onto the bed. "That's weird. Guess I own a house now."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo heard out what Shoichi had to say on the matters of this house and its current ownership and she managed to look stunned for all of about three seconds after hearing the news. In thinking about what Roze was like as a person, she suppose this wasn't the most shocking thing the woman could have done, at the very least she had to appreciate the woman's decorating sense and her like of lavish things. A grin spread across her face as she looked at Shoichi. "Fuck, home ownership at 21." she said. She wondered then what had caused Roze to abandon the home, but thought better of asking as she preferred to avoid the First Generation's Sky Queen as much as humanly possible. "Also this is a fucking big ass room~" the Ice Queen mentioned as she spun around to have a proper look at it.

[Bloodedge]

"Yeah, it-" Shoichi began speaking in a very lackadaisical manner, but soon choked on his words as his eyes widened. He'd come to a realization in the moments following Chiyo's statement; one that he hadn't come to terms with yet. "Shit! I'm 21!? I was 16 like three weeks ago!" he griped, managing to end it all with an exacerbated sigh. Afterwards, though, he was back to being right as rain, continuing his earlier statement. "Yeah. Roze always wants her room the size of a den. Probably for all the slaves she likes to drag around."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo expected a semi-calm discussion about the massive size of the bedroom they were currently standing in, but soon enough, Shoichi seemed to go on a huge tangent of self-discovery finally realizing how old he was compared to how old he apparently felt. Such a moment was usually unseen in people and the Ice Queen watched as all of the emotion of that moment was built and then the tension seemingly released as the Sky King went back to normal after that bit of thought. "Fuck, I don't think I've ever seen someone have that sort of realization before." she said of his reaction to his aging, only to find herself laughing at his statement about his sister which were about as true as the small Ice Queen could make them in her mind. "I can't even really argue with that~" she said as a giggle escaped her. Of course thereafter she realized if Shoichi was the owner of this house, then the former Sky Queen probably didn't pick her a room. "Fuck, if this is your house now, does that mean I don't just have an assigned room... I was just gonna ask which one was mine when we stumbled across Roze." she said frowning deeply.

[Bloodedge]

"Oro?" he said by force of habit. Frankly, he had yet to consider the overall setup of this building compared to the last; especially regarding room placement and the like. So, as he formed his reply, he rubbed the back of his head in thought. "Oh, shit... I hadn't even thought about that sorta thing. To be honest, this whole thing kinda blew over my head immediately, like we were going to end up sleeping back at the hotel for some reason. It's been so long since the old house, I didn't even register that we actually live here now." With that, he lowered his hand and raised his head toward the sky beyond the window. With a building this size, he could house the entire second generation of Gravity Children, and then some. But, he somehow doubted that would be in their best interest. "Well, I can't exactly assign you a room or anything. I'm not your landlord, and haven't been since Roze came back anyway. I ain't gonna kick you out or anything, though. Sleep wherever you feel comfortable, I guess."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo looked at Shoichi her eyes widening just for a moment before they went back to normal. She supposed it was rather normal that the Sky King hadn't thought much about the logistics of the lives of his current roommates. She had to admit that it was a new idea even to her, she didn't much like the idea of decorating or anything like that nor did she really care where she slept in respect to anything or anyone else. She'd more than likely choose a bedroom close to a large bathroom and hold up there. "Fuck, you could assign me a room. But if you aren't going to I suppose, I'll just find a room I am okay with and pass out in it later~" she mentioned shrugging the whole thing off. After all, she left the smaller bits of her life up to the other people in it, as such she didn't much care about this or that... there was also the matter of what they'd actually come home to do. "So, would Usagi-nee have come here and claimed a room already?" she questioned rolling backwards toward the door as if she intended to go looking for their pink haired Pledge Queen.

[Bloodedge]

"Meh. I don't think that's a me thing. I don't like telling people where to go and keep their shit when I could just give them the freedom to choose," he said regarding the possibility of assigning Chiyo a room. He had done such a thing once, and it felt incredibly off. In this case, he figured trying something new would be the most optimal way to approach having these new quarters. As he followed the Ice Queen, he considered the idea of the pink-haired girl Usagi having entered the building already. Since they hadn't entered through very conventional means themselves, the likelihood of this being the case was completely open to debate. "I think it's possible. We won't know until we s-" And, just like that, Shoichi was interrupted by means of being knocked over by someone. He looked up, and lo, the pink-haired Pledge Queen of their tower had stumbled over him. She wore a pair of ATs, strangely enough, but this wasn't the first time Shoichi had seen this. "... Search. Found her. I am the world's greatest detective. Worship me."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo heard out what Shoichi had to say about assigning people places in the world, and she supposed it made sense that he didn't want to do that, given it wasn't really much like him. Giving orders and making people do things was more something the Ice Queen herself would do, and arguing about getting a room didn't seem prudent because she enjoyed the freedom of choosing. "Fuck, well... I can't argue that... and I do like choosing everything so~ I'll just let you know when I do." she said with a nod. As they moved right along it seemed Shoichi also didn't know where they'd find their Pledge Queen without them having to look for her, but soon enough the pink haired young woman seemed to appear of her own volition, which the Sky King would claim credit for. "You don't get fucking credit for finding someone who walks into you. No worship!~" she said grinning with teasing in her voice. She'd then turn to the pink haired young woman and aiming to hug her in a moment of excitement. "Usagi-nee!!~" she chimed as she jumped into the young woman's arms she'd seen a full body of the young woman and went on to comment. "I missed you! Are you riding now too? Wanna do something later?!" she asked in a manner most akin to the way she'd behaved when she was just a hyperactive kid in need of running around.

[Bloodedge]

"Eh? S-... Sho-kun!" the Pledge Queen exclaimed with a reddened face upon realizing what she'd run into and fallen over. She very quickly righted herself and bowed apologetically. "Sumimasen! I was just... uhh... well..." she started, though Shoichi soon interjected with a laugh and a shake of his head. "Having fun, obviously. No need to apologize for that." With that said, the white-haired lad averted his gaze just in time to hear Chiyo rejecting his demand for worship. "I totally get credit for that! It was my super secret awesome detective skills that let me stand right where she was going. You wouldn't know, 'cause you ain't got the power," was his response.

Right after Usagi righted herself and dusted off herself and Shoichi, the girl was rather instantly tackled by the Ice Queen. Meeting the other lass' embrace, she nodded to address the ATs she now wore. "Hai hai! I've been riding for a little over a month now. Let's go on a run together some time!"

[Apollymi]

"Fuck. No. No credit. She was here having fun and you didn't know it any more than I did." Chiyo said sticking her tongue out at the Sky King. She seemed to be most amused already and as her embrace was returned she found out that their Pledge Queen had been riding proper ATs for a month which is about how long she'd been absent from the general public. But before she'd address this she had one more thing to say to Shoichi. "I got powers, you just don't know which ones!~" this was her final bit of teasing before her attention reverted to Usagi. "Of course! I look forward to it!" the Ice Queen chimed as she finally let go of their Pledge Queen seemingly amused. It appeared that in the month she'd spent in the Flame King's company she hadn't realized how much she missed the rest of her friends, not that she didn't like the Flame King, simply she was used to constant entertainment on a lot more fronts than a single person in general could offer. This was simply how the young Ice Queen dealt with everything in general.

[Bloodedge]

When it was stated that he knew no more than Chiyo about Usagi's presence, Shoichi opened his mouth to speak. However, there was nothing for him to say on the matter, so nothing came out. Chiyo went on to mention having powers which he didn't know about, which prompted Shoichi to dart toward her and grab her by the shoulders, shortly after her release of Usagi. "What!? You've been hiding more stuff from me!? Tell me!" As he went about shaking the Ice Queen by the shoulders, Usagi held a hand over her mouth and chuckled lightly. "Where have you two been, by the way? The house has been here for a couple of weeks now."

[Apollymi]

A cheeky smile was on the face of the former Fang Queen right up until the moment that Shoichi started shaking her wondering what else she could be hiding from him. She tried to smile but her brain was being shaken like mad as she tried to answer the young man. "Fuck, you're going to shake my brain loose, Shoichi!~" she said her voice seeming to vibrate with the motions that her body was taking. "Besides, I can't show off everything at once, gotta keep a surprise or two." she said as she tried to stabilize herself. It seemed beyond this that the Pledge Queen found this interaction amusing in some way which caused the Ice Queen's eyes to dart in her direction as she shrugged. "Fuck! You didn't get my text, Usagi-nee?" the Ice Queen questioned as it apparently slipped her mind that the Pledge Queen didn't count among the leaders of the Black Order so she wasn't privy to the Ice Queen's month of training with the First Generation's Flame King. Beyond this she never had a problem answering the pink haired young woman's questions and thus she did. "I was being trained in a no gravity space, by Yoichi. I was there for about a month." she said nodding concisely.

[Bloodedge]

"Damnit!" Shoichi said, ceasing the shaking of the Ice Queen and crossing his arms in a huff. In the following moment, though, he was looking through the corner of his eye with a deviant smirk. "I'll just have to draw it out with some of the stuff I've been holdin' back."

Usagi's eyes widened when Chiyo said where she'd been. Her face also reddened instantaneously at the thought that Chiyo had been in a confined space with the Flame King Kurama for a month. "Y-... Yoichi!? You mean...?" she asked. The tone she spoke in, and the expression on her face at the time, caused the young Sky King to raise a brow. "Oro?"

[Apollymi]

The Ice Queen was finally let go of so she'd stop having her head shaken and she held her head with her eyes appearing to swirl as she blinked a couple of times. Still, she was pretty much back to herself by the time the deviant smirk and eyeing of the Sky King happened along with his statement that he intended to draw out the rest of Chiyo's new skills with something he'd apparently been holding back. "Fuck, I knew you were holding out on me. Expecting me to put everything on the table when you haven't done the same~" she teased. "Unfair." she followed up sticking her tongue out at the white haired young man. Soon after Chiyo's explanation about where she'd been seemed to bring about a bit of recognition from the Pledge Queen and a blush which Chiyo noticed and it made her chuckle. "Fuck. Yes, the First Generation's Flame King." she said having a few choice ideas of why the pink haired young woman had reacted the way she had at the mention of his name.

[Bloodedge]

"Why would I just show everything I've got? Then I've got nothing to pull out against whatever you've been hiding," Shoichi replied. In the meantime, Usagi was showing a great deal of surprise at the confirmation Chiyo had given her. Shoichi was a bit out of the loop here, so he simply stood still as Usagi continued to question the Ice Queen's experience. "Sou ka... So... did you get to...?"

[Apollymi]

Chiyo's eyes darted to the Sky King and she found herself chuckling at his logic. "You say that knowing I'm hiding something now, you didn't know that in the first place, and you still held out on me. Unfair." she said frowning slightly not liking something about what she said. "Actually, no... I am not hiding anything. The other things I have learned weren't necessarily useful in our first meeting today. And what makes you think you'll need something against whatever you haven't seen yet huh?" she asked. This was the truth, because the Ice Queen had a few new skills but not all of them seemed necessary for a moment or two of conversation in a friendly manner. It would seem that the pink haired young woman was content to ask about the Ice Queen's doings with the Flame King though in not so many words. At first Chiyo seemed to process the question asked very slowly as if she hadn't quite caught the meaning, which she only needed a second or two more to get to the right idea and when she did her eyes widened and she stared at the Pledge Queen blankly. Still she wasn't going to lie to the other girl about it so she answered as she usually did. "Oh... that's what you're getting at huh? Yes." she said with another nod.

[Bloodedge]

As this exchange happened between Chiyo and Usagi, Shoichi's confusion and wonder became apparent. When Usagi spoke, he leaned toward her with a hand pressed against his chin in thought. When Chiyo answered the other lass' question, he leaned in her direction with the same pose. What he took from this conversation was not at all what was actually being discussed. But, such was the thought pattern of one Takeuchi Shoichi. "Ehh!? You're talking about some super secret trick, aren't you? I wanna know, damnit!"

[Apollymi]

Chiyo had said all she intended to say right now about her encounter with the Flame King. Of course, it seemed that Shoichi thought he was being left out of this conversation and though Chiyo was about to fill him in on what they'd been discussing in a very straight forward manner, it seemed that the Sky King's assumption about their discussion was that it had to do with a trick. This caused the Ice Queen to turn to the young man and look at him blinking three times. While thinking about the situation... 'Only Shoichi, would assume that I spent a month alone with an attractive man and the thing we're discussing right now is all about ATs.' she thought only to smile at the Sky King. The blandness of his thoughts when they weren't specifically about chasing skirts made the Ice Queen rather happy to know him, and she realized it was his easy-going one-track mind that she liked and missed about him while she'd been gone. The thought she had and his simple mindedness made her happy so she jumped at him slipping her arms around his neck and offering him a hug while she explained. "No. That wasn't at all what we were talking about, though I'll tell you if you actually want to know. And I promise, I'll show you every trick I have... if you really want to see them." she said seeming to be very happy right now and ever honest.

[Bloodedge]

Usagi had been prepared to react to what she heard, but Shoichi's interjection made her take pause. In the heat of the moment, she'd forgotten the Sky King was present, and didn't know how to address the matter now that he was involved. But, it seemed things were going to work out just find, considering the male's AT-filled brain. There was only one little hiccup in this train of thought. Apparently, Chiyo was content to tell the young man what he wanted to know, but Usagi didn't assume he cared if he knew it wasn't a trick or something.

With the Ice Queen's sudden embrace, Shoichi was only made more confused. On the other hand, she clarified that she and the Pledge Queen were not referring to a trick, and offered to both explain the discussion, and showcase her tricks. "Not a trick? Oro... Well, sure then. I'll take all that good shit."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo was content and her hug seemed to confuse Shoichi and after she was content to let him go she saw the look on the face of the Pledge Queen. She wasn't sure what to make of it, but she figured it had simply slipped the pink haired young woman's mind that Shoichi was with them when she began to question the leisure activities of the Ice Queen and the Flame King. When Shoichi mentioned that he did actually care what the Ice Queen and the Pledge Queen were discussing she looked up at him and then at the Pledge Queen pausing if only to consider the wording of a sentence which wouldn't cause the Pledge Queen to blush or faint. "Usagi-nee wanted to know if I made it with the Flame King when I was alone with him." she said with a nod. With that very succinct and almost politically correct explanation of the Pledge Queen's question out of the way she moved right along to the rest of what she'd promised. "I'll show you the rest of my tricks when we go outside, though I could probably give a minor demonstration of the other skills now if you wanted to observe them while they aren't being used on you." she mentioned her eyes flickering over the Pledge Queen as she mentally decided on a very easy way to showcase the simpler uses of her eye.

[Bloodedge]

And so, his curiosity was sated, followed by the progression of Chiyo's thought train into the matter of her new tricks. As she moved on, though, Shoichi was just registering the earlier statement made by the lass. His eyes widened slightly, briefly flashing the form of the Over-Cross Twinkle Eye before reverting to normal. When this happened, his demeanor altered ever so slightly, seeming to hold an air of minor disgust. "Wait wait wait. That weirdo!? That's fuckin' gross! Where'd your standards go?"

[Apollymi]

And just like that everything seemed to be fine. Until apparently the sentence she spoke earlier seemed to fully dawn upon the Sky King what the Ice Queen meant or rather it just seemed to register in his brain. And the reaction which came from it shocked the black haired girl as she tried to think of why the Sky King would almost Brain Charger and be upset about it. Partly because she'd be exposed to the forms of the Sky King's other personalities and neither of them would have been upset with what she'd done, so obviously this was something of the Sky King's own problem. "Huh? Hold up..." she said looking at him as if she was well and truly confused. "My standards?" she said her head tilting all the way to the left as she began rolling around the Sky King. She didn't know what the Sky King was getting at in this moment, but something about it seemed to annoy her deeply, it was a nagging sensation at the back of her mind that she'd only recently come to understand.

[Bloodedge]

"Yes, your..." Shoichi's retort came to an early end due to the gathering of thoughts prior to its completion. In the end, he decided against going down this proverbial road, choosing instead to turn his gaze away. "No... No, nothing. I just don't like that guy; ignore me. It's not like I can say anything about skipped training either, since I ended up in the same boat on my end." With that said, Shoichi stood and allowed the Sky Regalia to part around his feet so he could quite literally step out of his ATs. "Anyway. Hey Tink, you up for tuning something?" he asked, shifting his attention toward the Pledge Queen, who nodded in response. "Sweet. Take those old Bagram cores back out. I'm handing them off."

"H-hai..." said Usagi. Though the pink-haired young woman was quite perturbed by the interaction she'd been seeing unfold before her, she figured she'd at least diffuse a bit of tension by quickly accepting this task. As such, she took hold of the Sky Regalia when it was offered, and beckoned Chiyo toward herself.

[Apollymi]

She'd been ready for a fight at the start of the Sky King's first sentence. She didn't know why but she didn't much like the type of hypocrisy he was about to lay down on her. But this wasn't meant to be... Chiyo took a deep breath and when the Sky King next spoke she closed her eyes and let it go. Mostly because the confirmation that he'd done the same thing allowed her to clarify what must have been the Sky King's minor bout of jealousy. Chiyo could somewhat understand, but she couldn't bother feeling jealous about anything given that the Sky King she'd known had always been pretty free with himself. She'd already assumed such a thing had taken place. Beyond this the little Ice Queen didn't even bother explaining that she'd figured all of that information for herself she simply said nothing more as Shoichi stepped out of his regalia and the Pledge Queen beckoned her forward. Chiyo took the step forward immediately understanding what the Sky King meant. "Sou ka... that's what you meant." she said of the apparent undiscussed plan to help her finish off her Regalia.

[Bloodedge]

Choosing to get right down to business, Usagi activated her own Regalia while stepping toward Chiyo's fore. The Ice Queen's Regalia was taken up by numerous mechanical butterflies while the same happened with the Sky Regalia. These butterflies took apart both Regalia, reassembling the latter once the former Wind Regalia's core had been taken out. As for Chiyo's... there was a bit more to be done. Once again, Usagi found herself adding more to these ATs than what would normally be required of an upgrade, if only to make room for the number of Regalia cores present. "Ano... This isn't an Ice Regalia anymore..." she said. She looked to Shoichi, seeking confirmation that he wanted this core offered to Chiyo's Regalia. However, the white-haired male had already walked away during the separation of parts.

[Apollymi]

Chiyo was left to watch Shoichi, walking away from this situation. She didn't really get it, but she supposed like all other things it would work itself out eventually. Beyond this it seemed that the present issue presented by the Pledge Queen was that the Regalia bore by the Ice Queen wasn't really an Ice Regalia anymore. A small giggle escaped the Ice Queen as she seemed to return to a bit of a happier place in her mind. "Usagi-nee, it isn't supposed to be an Ice Regalia." she mentioned. It had been revealed to her a few days prior to this one that she was meant to be Storm Queen or at least that would be what she was eventually. But at the same time it was mentioned that she wasn't a big enough storm yet to do much of anything that way. Perhaps the addition of wind would make that better... which was likely the thought of the Sky King when he said he knew what to add.

[Bloodedge]

"Hai. I see that. But..." Usagi's thoughts began to trail off as she inspected the parts floating around herself and the fanged lass. The moment she considered the combination of Shoichi's Regalia core and this Regalia, she foresaw the development into that which could only be called a Storm. However... "If I make this with Bagram's core, I'd basically be switching the two of you. Not literally, but... it's making one thing incomplete again, to complete another thing. I guess it's already been decided, though..." And with that, Usagi willed the return of all parts into Chiyo's ATs, complete with the added core of Moonstruck Drop Bagram - Strike. These now mid-thigh high ATs would be complete with blade-like wings and ankle-to-heel spike protrusions in their active form, and would generally be found more easily used for projectile tricks. "I give birth to the Storm Regalia: Crazy Diamond!" Once again in this moment, Usagi found herself holding on to the Sky Regalia, which only reminded her of the earlier incident. This caused her to bow again, this time toward the newly crowned Storm Queen. "Sumimasen! I didn't mean to bring that up earlier."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo considered what the Pledge Queen had to say about the switching of the last regalia core piece. It made her wonder why Shoichi would agree to such a thing, or even have an idea like that again. It seemed that he was quite content to simply give all of himself to her betterment even if it meant breaking himself in the process. She was having a hard time figuring out why he'd be so self-less. Chiyo continued to think as her Pledge Queen apparently made the decision to finish off her Regalia while stripping Shoichi's of its core. In doing so she created and named the Regalia which had been missing a name the entire time she'd had it. A smile crossed the fanged girl's face as this work was finished. "Crazy Diamond, huh? I was wondering what you'd name it~ Arigatou Gozaimasu, Usagi-nee!" she chimed but she was a bit stunned when the pink haired girl went on to apologize for the earlier incident. Chiyo looked at her strangely and shook her head moving a few steps forward so she could hug the other girl. "Nope, you don't get to apologize... even I didn't predict that kind of reaction." she said of the incident still not really knowing what to make of it. "It wasn't your fault. You were curious, and I didn't think it was a big deal." she said her brows drawing together. It seemed to her that there was something complex going on here that she'd probably need someone to explain to her. Again.

[Bloodedge]

"There's much more to its abilities now. I also reorganized the original components, so you can feel the weightlessness of the tower, too," Usagi explained. She went no further, figuring Chiyo would understand completely upon experiencing her own movements very soon. As for the other matter they had been discussing, the Pledge Queen's reaction began with a snicker. "You two are interesting people," was all she said while separating herself from the Storm Queen.

[Apollymi]

"Reorganized?!" this was a question with a bit of excitement. Chiyo knew herself to be a fairly creative person so she was kind of already happy about the idea of being able to do more stuff but she didn't really understand what the Pledge Queen meant by her statement about the changes to her ATs. This would be something she'd experience once she was freed from the embrace which was done with a snicker and more commentary. "Fuck, why are we interesting?" she questioned this, because she really didn't get it. Beyond this the newly crowned Storm Queen pushed off backwards from Usagi and the first movement she did made her eyes widen as she arced in the hallway. "What the hell?!"

[Bloodedge]

Three queries were offered by Chiyo, and zero were answered by the pink-haired girl. She merely watched as the Storm Queen had her first experience with her upgraded ATs, smiling when she came to understand the feeling Usagi's tuning now offered. "Have fun, Chi-chan!" she said. With that, the Pledge Queen bowed and made her leave to other areas of the house.

[Apollymi]

It appeared that the Storm Queen wouldn't be getting the answers to the questions she'd asked, but then she supposed she couldn't find any fault with this. She quite enjoyed figuring out most things of her own accord. So she just smiled as the young woman crept off into some other area of the house after observing her first few moments. "Arigatou Gozaimasu~ Ja... Usagi-nee." she said as she wandered off in the same direction Shoichi had gone, mostly to figure out what he intended to do if he'd just mutilated the Sky Regalia to give her the current amount of completeness she bore. So she could be seen peeking into random doors until either she found him or she didn't. More than anything she didn't always understand the Sky King's motivations... of course she also didn't realize that she'd yet to have a proper conversation with the young man about how they worked as a pairing or team. But she did promise to show him all of her tricks so there would be that.

[Bloodedge]

At dusk fall of the very same day, the Sky King returned to his new abode via balcony entry from the master bedroom; a feature surely implemented with this in mind. As he pulled the sliding door to said balcony open and stepped inside, he used his free hand to light one of a few cigarettes he seemed to have snagged off the Water Queen during a moment of being in Brain Charger state. Not bothering to discard his Regalia, or any clothing at all, he hopped onto the bed and placed his hands between his head and the pillows, taking slow drags from the freshly lit cigarette as his eyes came to a close.

[Apollymi]

Around night fall the same day, the Storm Queen Chiyo also returned, taking to landing on the launch point of the roof which she'd used on her earlier entrance. Her t-shirt was in prestine condition if not a little wet but her shorts were in complete and utter tatters all the way up to her hips. She came equipped with a bag full of quick clothing change options for a day or so, until she could get the twins in to install her closet, not that she was sure about that given the current state of her clothing due to the activation of her regalia. She kicked the snow and nice to the side, clearing a path to get into the house and once she was there she called out looking for the Pledge Queen of her generation. "Usagi-nee!!! Are you home?!" she questioned as she rolled along. She was already certain of the room she wanted which, had been decided based on its position in the house and the windows which were in it. It was surprisingly enough the one which was across the hall from the Master Suite and exactly four doors to the left. Once she arrived there she opened the door and sat the bag down beside the door pulling out a pair of sealed up pajamas which she intended to wear after testing out the bathing facilities of this place anew.

[Bloodedge]

"Mm!" would be the immediate response to the Storm Queen's words. They originated from just a bit down the hall, to the left and in the opposite direction of the master bedroom. The Pledge Queen's door was open just a bit, and just like with her room in the previous building, ATs and various parts were scattered over the entirety of the bedroom. In the center of it all, she sat in nothing more than a bath towel from a recent cleansing, and her still-damp hair dripped over the very parts she was currently tinkering with. Upon first sight, one would realize the reason she had only mumbled her response to the Storm Queen. In her mouth were screws and bolts, which obviously belonged to whatever small device she was throwing together.

[Apollymi]

She soon enough went looking down the hall and found the Pledge Queen up to the same thing she'd been up to the first time Chiyo had found her outside of the Tower. Her tinkering made the Storm Queen smile as she pushed open the door enough to stand in the doorway with the pajama's thrown over her shoulder. And she stared at the pink haired girl in the floor taking special care not to look to hard at the random parts scattered around as the disorder would drive her mad if she thought too much about it. "Usagi-nee!! The upgrade was fucking awesome.~ Did ya' go outside and play in the snow?" she asked of the pink haired young woman in the floor wondering if she understood the gravity of the change she'd made for the raven haired lass.

[Bloodedge]

"I'm glad you like it," Usagi spoke through the screws betwixt her teeth. She did so without bothering to look up at the Storm Queen, as she was a bit occupied putting the final touches on what appeared to be a basketball-sized machine of some sort, featuring a voice-activated interface. When she was done, she went about applying the screws to it, and seemed to take great joy in its completion afterwards. "I didn't go outside after earlier. I've been making these little things for the house~"

[Apollymi]

"Aww, the point of Christmas in July is celebrating!!" Chiyo mentioned rolling her eyes. Though she understood the Pledge Queen's love of making things, especially now that she could actually do it and have it do stuff. She felt the same about riding now so, she didn't begrudge the pink haired young woman her idea of a good time. "Um... what does that do?" she asked of the device currently being completed simply as part of her curiosity. This would be followed by a question she wanted to have answered about her regalia, or rather an alteration she wished to be made to it. "Eh, small favor though... anyway to keep my regalia from going so far up my legs when it activates. I totally shredded my shorts. And though the temperature itself doesn't seem to bother me, I'd prefer not to be naked if it's at all avoidable.~" she asked thinking her request wouldn't be that big a deal. Evidence of the need for such an alteration could be seen on the girl's person, in the form of her tattered clothes and nearly naked lower body, the only thing maintaining her modest besides the scraps of what had formerly been cargo shorts was a tiny pair of lace boy shorts black in color worn beneath them. "Please, Usagi-nee." she added after a moment of thought.

[Bloodedge]

"I just figured it would last for a few days after falling," she replied. With the last screw in place on her device, she placed the sphere on the floor. When it made contact, it expanded and released a pair of wheels for transport, a pair of arms, and an optic lens with a green add-on before it. "These are already all over the house, and they all have different functions, but connect to a hive mind-like program. This one is a bit different; it scans a more detailed version of R.E.A.D. that I call Battle Power... something the existing system doesn't fully take into account. It looks into physique, Regalia, and performed tricks to determine the number based on the ability to destroy." When Usagi finally stood up, she placed a hand atop this robotic creation of hers while looking at the ruined shorts of the Storm Queen. "Sumimasen. It's either that, or ATs the size of computer towers on your feet. Crazy Diamond is made of five separate Regalia cores, and a Sky Key. It took a lot of compression just to keep it from being a body suit."

[Apollymi]

Hearing out the Pledge Queen's explanation of what the small device she'd created did, the Storm Queen's eyes went wide. Beyond this point it seemed that there was a lot the pink haired young woman had taken into account when she'd begun the creation of these devices. It was impressive beyond all reason. "Aww, that is awesome!!~ Usagi-nee you're the best!~" she chimed. This excited waned a tiny bit though when the young woman explained the nature of the Storm Queen's regalia and why it couldn't be compressed any further. A pout came over the girl's face as obviously the only answer to this new problem was to change the way she dressed to fit the new style of her regalia. "Fuck! I hate shopping and I am not going to like shorts, short enough not to rip when they activate. Ugh, so much work... I don't wanna!" she said crossly throwing a small tantrum of sorts. It could be noted that she hadn't addressed the easiest solution to this situation which would have been simply changing the style of lower body clothing she wore. As she pouted she looked to the Pledge Queen and clarified. "That isn't a complaint at you, I still love my regalia!~ I just don't wanna clothes, it takes too long. And I can't imagine the nudity required to wear a body suit... so I'm really happy that wasn't what was gone for." said the dark haired girl. She really didn't like the idea of shopping or looking for clothing which wouldn't interfere with her regalia's release.

[Bloodedge]

"Hmmm." Chiyo seemed to be having quite the conundrum with the newest form of her Regalia, but she also seemed to be overlooking the most obvious answer to the issues here. Of course, Usagi knew why this was. The obviously tomboy-ish Storm Queen had never really been one for skirts and the like in any situation outside of school, as far as she could remember, but this was something she couldn't simply avoid suggesting. "If you don't want shorts that short, you could always get a skirt. I'm sure your school uniform would be fine if you activated your Regalia now."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo paused, hearing out the Pledge Queen's suggestion, she couldn't help but remember that this young woman had always tried to get her to wear a skirt. Her own preferences meant that outside of situations where it was required like her school uniform she simply didn't wear them. "Oh? Are we on this shit again?" she questioned as if the question itself should be enough to suppress the idea. Of course, what the girl didn't realize when saying this was, the last time the Pledge Queen had suggested such a thing, she'd been about 7 years old, and it was part of her presumed lost memories, leaking into her head. "Hell my school uniform wouldn't even have a skirt if I'd gotten my way. I still say Shoichi has something to do with that." she mumbled. Thinking about it from the standpoint of the past she'd petitioned to be allowed to wear the boy's uniform as an expression of herself as a straight A student in a leadership position at the school. She'd been turned down flat and decided to follow the rules if only to keep everyone else off her back about it. She didn't care if her school uniform would survive, the Storm Queen hated the idea of being relegated to skirt wear for an extended period of time. Her nature was too aggressive and her need to not flash people too high for her to agree to such a thing ever.

[Bloodedge]

"If not the skirt, then you could always find a pair of shorts small or loose enough to survive the activation. The only way I can change the Regalia into a smaller form is to take away the Storm," Usagi said with nothing shy of truth in her words. There really were no options beyond these if Chiyo wished to avoid having her ensemble ruined every time she activated her Regalia. But, unless she was asked to revert Crazy Diamond to its previous form, she would not do so... or rather, she didn't intend to do so anyway, as the Regalia now felt quite alive to her. "Oh! There's a robot in the bathroom as well. You can use it for soap scents, drying off, or... anything, really. Just don't ask it to dry your hair. That feature does... something entirely different..."

[Apollymi]

"Fuck!" this was the only word spoken by Chiyo at first before she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Being given her options in such a way she had no intention of altering her regalia unless it was actually necessary. Beyond this she'd only been griping because she didn't feel like going through the trouble of changing her wardrobe. A few seconds after a sigh escaped the young woman. "I don't want it changed, I like it too much for that. I'll just do what I always do when I don't want to do stuff, which is to find someone else to do it for me." she said a wide grin spreading across her face, as she decided it would be best to just let someone else choose her clothing for a change. Beyond this she looked down at the young woman who claimed that she'd made a bathroom robot to do all sorts of good things which was interesting news considering that would be the Storm Queen's next stop. Only the last clause about the use of the hair drying function caught her attention. Now even without the use of her special eye Chiyo had noticed that the Pledge Queen's hair was still damp, and it took her only a few seconds to realize what this function must do. "Uh-huh, Usagi-nee you also put shower heads in the floor didn't you?" she asked this question not really because she cared, but to give the girl the idea, being a hentai like she was she figured she'd enjoy such a thing, if they weren't already there. And Chiyo considered it a kind gesture, even without directly speaking on the girl's personal habits directly. A wicked smirk crossed the girl's face as she bowed and headed out, "Ja Usagi-nee and thank you for the help." she said before turning on her wheels and rolling towards the bathroom which she'd spotted on her earlier trip.

Soon enough the small girl was in the midst of showering with her ATs up against the far wall while running a deep tub full of hot water. This tub was made like a jacuzzi and had jets so she figured she'd spend a bit of time soaking after enjoying getting clean. She looked over this bathroom robot with a smirk as she reached down for vanilla scented soap which was her apparent favorite for use. After about 45 minutes of shower and soaking and quiet alone thinking time, Chiyo came to the conclusion about the things that were happening right now. Mukuro had hinted that she likely should have just done a bit of work to figure out what was wrong with the Sky King so perhaps she should do that, she figured she'd rather he be properly angry with her if he was going to be rather than allowing it to fester in his head. With this thought in mind she dressed herself in a pair of long pajama pants and a compression tank top which she seemed to be favoring presently for general lounging. She went back to her room to return her regalia to her beside and looked down towards the Sky King's room. 'You are so not a coward, you can ask a simple question.' she thought to herself as she knocked on his door, though she secretly hoped he wasn't in there to give herself sometime to rethink this kind of irrational and brash confrontation.

[Bloodedge]

Shoichi wasn't exactly expecting visitors to his room; nor did he expect anyone to know he had come home without him first wandering around the building. As such, when there was a knock at his door, he came to the conclusion that Usagi had gone through some effort to seek out his heartbeat, or something of the sort. At some point, he had allowed the cigarette he entered with to stop burning, and it had been recently lit anew by the time he responded to the knock. "Door's open," he said, making no efforts to move away from his bed, and keeping his gaze cast on the television across the room.

[Apollymi]

There was a moment in which the girl would have breathed a sigh of relief, but it wasn't there. Instead she was more than a little stunned to find that the Sky King was actually in his room. 'Fuck!' this was the only thought in the girls' head, because though she wanted to talk with Shoichi and find out what was bothering him, she didn't expect to actually have to do it right at the moment. She realized something about this interaction made her nervous of the outcome and it was a strange thing to feel. She immediately thought of running for her room and pretending she knew nothing of this thing she just did, because she couldn't rationalize this new found fear. She realized she'd been far too quiet in this moment and decided it was simply something she had to do now, because she was afraid. "Hai!" and with that she stepped inside of the boy's room closing the door behind her. She stood very still for a few seconds her eyes flickering around the room and to the TV but then back to Shoichi. This all felt really strange to her and she wasn't certain where to begin.

[Bloodedge]

Following his response, there was an unusual amount of silence on the other side of the door. This caused Shoichi's attention to divert from the TV, which happened just in time for him to both hear and see the Storm Queen entering his bedroom. "... Yo," he said in a lackadaisical fashion as his gaze returned to its original focus, and he ashed the cigarette he'd been smoking into a mason jar off the left side of the bed.

[Apollymi]

The Storm Queen was now standing in the Sky King's room watching as he put out a cigarette which seemed familiar to her, and she recognized as being the brand favored by the Water Queen. With that thought somewhere tucked away in her head, she wondered how much of the influence of personalities of their older selves had on them, but she supposed now wasn't the time for that question. She stood in silence for approximately three seconds before the question of the day kind of fell out of her mouth. She couldn't help this occurance she simply needed to know and understand things from the Sky King's perspective. "Shoichi, why are you mad at me?"

[Bloodedge]

"Huuu~" Shoichi exhaled the final puff of smoke while awaiting whatever Chiyo had come for. Thankfully, this didn't take as long as it had taken for her to enter the room after being given clearance, but the question she chose to ask was one that seemed to pick at a nerve of some sort, causing the Sky King to immediately glance in her direction through the corner of his eye. "What makes you think I'm mad at you?"

[Apollymi]

"That." she said gesturing towards him as he was now. "The way you just looked at me. Fucking earlier flash of Brain Charger-ness, uh... being short with me. Rampaging on the Raidraptors. Hiding out in here... I didn't actually expect to find you in here, I was a bit shocked." she said thinking about it. The Storm Queen preferred to pace during times of high stress like this, but she couldn't instead her left foot was left to soundlessly bounce against the carpet as a replacement habit for her usual nervous tick. "Normally shit just kind of blows over when one or both of us is mad. But I realized I never actually find out why you're mad at any given point. So, why?" the Storm Queen's speech had fallen back into an old pattern, like she was trying very hard to maintain whatever she could in her head to keep the anxiety of this moment from overwhelming her because she really needed to know this information to keep further misunderstandings between herself and the Sky King to an absolute minimum.

[Bloodedge]

"I do Brain Charger shit all the time; I've got no control over that. I didn't rampage the Raidraptors; I went to see what they were made of. And... hiding out... in my room? I kinda live here, y'know?" he said, delivering his retort to each clause. And, to his credit, all of these things were true. While yawning, Shoichi closed his eyes and relaxed more into the pillows beneath him, slipping his hands back into place beneath his head. "I'm not mad. There. Are we done with the awkward questions now?"

[Apollymi]

Chiyo looked at the Sky King and fought the desire to fall into a rage because it was easier than dealing with what was going on in front of her. And it seemed that the Sky King had a retort for all things mentioned, and while it was true he probably did all of those things for exactly the reasons mentioned even beyond being obviously perturbed. He claimed not to be upset, but there was one more thing she thought of which hadn't been explained away yet and she'd mention it as she turned on her heel to leave, stopping the tapping of her leg as he did. "Sure, I'm done with the awkward questions. Totally made a blizzard in fucking July, with my ATs and covered the whole city in snow and ice, helped caused a thunder storm and contributed to a small scale earthquake. And my best friend in the whole world who is partly responsible for this, didn't want to contribute and left me all alone after flipping out on me and after giving up parts to making it happen. Even though he loves to see everything that happens from his place high in the sky that rest of us reach for. I know he saw it, but I'm totally imagining him being upset with me. Gotcha." and with that the girl reached for the door to head out of it, no one could say she didn't try to actually get to the bottom of this time, that she didn't notice that the young man was upset even if he didn't give a reason. She didn't much see the point in noticing all of the things she did, if none of it helped with the one person whose opinion actually mattered to her.

[Bloodedge]

As Chiyo continued to speak, Shoichi opened his eyes long enough to dig a pocky stick out of the pocket of his overcoat. Once he'd done so, he placed it in his mouth and, instead of biting it, allowed its flavor to absorb into his tongue. When the Storm Queen's little tirade finally came to and end, and she made movements toward the door, Shoichi's eyes closed once again. "Baka. Don't be a fuckin' moron. I never said I wasn't upset; I said I wasn't mad at you. Learn the fuckin' difference, why don'tcha?"

[Apollymi]

Chiyo's hand had been on the door when the Sky King chose to speak again. She abandoned the quest to leave his presence as she tried to reason out the words he'd spoken. She frowned deeply as she rubbed the spot over the corner of her left eye with the corresponding fore and middle fingers to quell the twitch that was developing there. This twitch hinted at frustration that the young woman got when she was being impatient and thus was having a problem figuring something out which everyone else seemed to find simply. She turned around and her leg began tapping once again as she flicked her open eye over the Sky King where he lay in bed pocky in his mouth. "Fuck! Fine! No idea how I am supposed to understand that sort of subtlety when it's not built into who I am but... fuck it. I suppose I'll have to learn..." she stopped rubbing the corner of her eye as the twitching stopped. "What's wrong then?" she said softly. She really just wanted to know and contribute to making Shoichi feel better, it was his birthday after all and no one deserved to feel like shit on their birthday.

[Bloodedge]

"Nobody said you were supposed to understand shit. You're the one who came in my room asking questions," the white-haired male replied. It seemed Chiyo would be further pressing the matter, which Shoichi would have simply never addressed if it hadn't been brought to him so brazenly. But, Shoichi wasn't exactly a liar, even if his pride as a man didn't agree with him unveiling anything going on in his brain. With these two things clashing, he bit into the pocky, and allowed the rest of the stick to slide into place before speaking. "Nothin'. I just don't know what to expect from people... or somethin'."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo blinked thrice in this moment. As it appeared Shoichi was both simultaneously cross at her for asking questions, but willingly honest enough to answer said question. Even if the answer didn't make sense to her. She watched this conflict play out in his actions and even without the abilities her extra sensory eyes offered she saw the conflict between his words and his actions. Much like her earlier moment where she'd pretty much emasculated Jun'Ichi she got really quiet and began piecing together the Sky King's actions over the course of the day while they were together, with his mood swings and his apparent words right now. 'He's confusing as fuck, and I am really trying here. He doesn't know what to expect from people, we'll just assume he means me because I was the one he was hanging around with when he went all sulky.' she thought her eyes flickering up a second before she crossed her left ankle behind her right and balanced on the one leg while her left hand was placed on her chin and her right arm crossed over her chest. 'Everything went south when it was explained that I'd made it with Yoichi, not that it means anything to me, but...' she thought about it more, it was a rather interesting moment where she assumed herself to have presented a bit of inconsistency by admitting something like that, but beyond that from the outside perspective she supposed it would seem a bit uncharacteristic of her to have done anything with anybody especially given her general attitudes towards most people. Still she didn't see how her actions should have affected the Sky King's mood even indirectly unless he simply didn't expect her to be as free with herself as he was with himself. She wasn't upset with Shoichi for his actions, and he wasn't upset with her for hers, but he was upset at the situation apparently. As she pieced this together she opened her eyes and got a proper look at the Sky King and several seconds of silence passed and she sighed. As a person who was very vocal about the things which made her upset she didn't consider what it was like to sit on such feelings. She had only one thing to say. "Shoichi, people can't perform to expectation if you don't make it clear what you expect." she said speaking about this in the same way he did as if she was detached but she wasn't. Her words really just meant to imply that she wanted to make the Sky King happy but didn't know what he expected from her because of the way they tended to deal with each other all the time.

[Bloodedge]

There was an uncomfortable amount of silence following his answer, and with the passing of time, he finished eating his first pocky stick, and started on the next in the same manner. Apparently, Chiyo thought it to be an appropriate thing for him to make known his expectations, but Shoichi could only disagree. In the following moments, Shoichi voiced what was likely the most prolific statements he had made for the year thus far, all while staring into the ceiling. "Expectations come from experience. Nobody just blindly expects anything, so there's nothing to say. It's when people are made to expect something different, then things go back to normal immediately, then in the completely opposite direction, that shit gets too confusing to handle. Y'know, something like that sentence I just said, probably."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo respected the Sky King's thoughts and opinions in general. And when he was being prolific she remembered why she liked him so much. This was one such moment. And as he explained that the things he'd come to expect shifted suddenly, then went back to normal then shifted again, that he was too confused to keep up. She thought about this from her own perspective and she always assumed things had gone back to normal because that is what the Sky King wanted, she hadn't pushed in any direction because she disliked that she felt like she was using him. It also probably didn't help that he was the one person she didn't want to force to do anything that let this be a lot less clear than it could have been. "I let things go back to normal because didn't want to tie myself to you and stop you from being yourself. I didn't expect anything else from you and I didn't want to use you and I felt like I was." these were likely the most honest words the Storm Queen would ever speak, she admired Shoichi and his freedom and didn't want to be the thing that stopped him from being the person he was. She didn't see how she should be punished for that or why it should have caused him more stress and confusion than what she thought chaining him to her would do. "Expectations come from experience, I've experienced the kind of freedom you have with yourself and it's all I ever expected from you I didn't want to take that from you."

[Bloodedge]

Shoichi heard more of Chiyo's ideals, and yet, they only registered to him as words. "Stupid, stupid words," he said while the very thought appeared in his mind. True enough, Shoichi was about as free as a Storm Rider, and possibly even a person in general, could be in this world. It was simply his philosophy to be as such. However, all philosophies came with deeper meaning, and Shoichi's was no exception to this rule of thumb. "You don't know shit about my freedom. I'm not free because I wanna be; I'm free because everybody should be... and 'cause I don't get a choice anymore. What kinda Sky King would anybody follow if he wasn't like that?" he said while lifting himself into a seated position upon the bed. "Shu is my brother, and he lives in a cage of his own mind. Jun is my bro, and he doesn't live anywhere, but... the first thing I saw that night we got out of the tower was the birds flying under the starlight. They were about as free as it gets, but even they fly toward a nest, so don't come in here givin' me shit about freedom!"

[Apollymi]

Chiyo watched as the Sky King lifted himself into the seated position and gave one of the most profound philosophies she'd ever heard. Comparisons being drawn between himself and the other 'free' people of their generation and she could almost get what he meant. Still it was moments like these where she looked at Shoichi and fully understood him as a person. And in this moment she realized that her own philosophy of not caging truly free things didn't really count of said free bird thing flew in of its own accord. And Shoichi had always chosen to be captured by her, why argue with it now or ever, especially given that she never wanted to in the first place. "Fuck!" she said her whole body gaining a bit of relaxation. She hated confirmation of her wrongness especially when it caused her this much fucking stress but, fine, she was done. "I can't even argue with that shit, so I won't try." this was Chiyo giving up, but instead of leaving the room she went a bit closer to the Sky King until she was standing right in front him. "You can have me, if you want me, and I'll have you if you'll have me. But I'm taking absolutely no shit about this later, 'cause right now, I really just want to kiss you and celebrate your birthday. Which I have totally been trying to do all fuckin' day." the Storm Queen mentioned feeling much like her usual aggressive self. It seemed she'd calmed down enough to be her usual amount of demanding, even of the Sky King.

[Bloodedge]

Another stick of pocky later, Shoichi was hearing what sounded like the end of this discussion, as well as the apparent offering of the Storm Queen's self. A long pause ensued, in which he began eating another pocky stick. "Sou ka... Alright," was all he said as he bit into the confection, now holding the box in his left hand as well, since he'd begun eating them so frequently. As he chewed his most recent bite, he had a bit of a revelation. "Oh, shit. I forgot it was my birthday. Kinda late to celebrate, though."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo looked at Shoichi a wicked smirk coming over her face. "Did you not hear what I fucking said?" she questioned. "I made a blizzard, in July, we have until the snow melts before it's actually required for us to do anything." she said. Thinking about it a bit more she simply grinned. "And I could always just make more~" she chimed seemingly pleased with this thing she'd done even before they made up. "So, whatcha wanna do birthday boy? 'Cause I estimate given the randomness of this occurance it will take at least a couple of days to clear up outside." she said making the offer to extend the Sky King's birthday celebration well beyond normal limits so that they could actually have a legitimate amount of fun together.

[Bloodedge]

"Meh... I dunno," Shoichi said as his right hand rubbed against the back of his scalp. "I've been doing a lot of shit today. I was actually planning on crashing before you came in here." His eyes were closed as the rubbing of his head became more erratic, but after finishing off another piece of pocky, he looked through the window to the balcony. "But... I guess I've got a few minutes in me." With that said, the Sky King hopped off the mattress, casually aiming to shove a strawberry-flavored pocky stick into the Storm Queen's mouth as he made his way outside. The opening of the door was accompanied by a burst of wind strong enough to remove all snow from the balcony itself, causing the remains to fall over the area as if a fresh snowstorm were starting anew. "Fuckin' cold, though. I'm gonna get the sniffles after this shit."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo stared at the Sky King as he stated he was pretty much wiped for the day. She fully expected then to simply turn away and head for bed, but the statement that he had a few minutes left in him caused a smile on the girl's face. Beyond this there was a stick of pocky shoved into her mouth, which was the second time today the Sky King has done such a thing. It would been then that Chiyo reached outside the door and pulled her ATs in and put them on, again like she'd been expecting this, but in truth she simply hadn't gotten the opportunity to go back to her room. As she chewed on the pocky and put on her boots she frowned at the Sky King. "Really? Is it cold? I think I don't actually feel it at all. I played it in all day in ripped shorts and I never once felt cold." she said seeming to be confused. "Whatever, if you get sick we'll get you some soup or something~" she chimed before jumping out into the air above the house and into the falling crystals of snow like nothing was wrong. "Neh, do they make pocky in lemon?" her regalia would activate soon after shredding her newly donned pajama pants all the way up to her thighs in this active state but she did so, so she could hover and have a bit of fun and she didn't seem to care at all. 'Fuck! I'm glad these aren't my favorites.' she thought as shreds of the material floated away from her person, practically leaving the small girl in a pair of short shorts and the heeled thigh high ATs.

[Bloodedge]

"Fuck the soup; I don't need that shit." These were Shoichi's words as he hopped into the air as well, pumping wind into his Regalia cores with his hands to activate their winged form. It was around this time that he first witnessed the activation of the new Storm Regalia, and though it was an incredible sight to behold, his attention was brought to the destruction of clothing. "You got a Regalia that takes your clothes off!? I knew Bagram Strike would do me proud!" he exclaimed. As he climbed higher into the sky, he thought of the pocky flavors he knew of, and nowhere in his memories was there a lemon flavor. "I dunno. They might, but that little shop in Tokyo only had chocolate and strawberry."

[Apollymi]

"Fuck! Somehow I knew you'd be excited about that, and that you'd take responsibility. Usagi-nee, says there is too much in them for them to be smaller. She recommends skirts about the length of the one on my school uniform to avoid doing this everything time." she said pouting about it once again. Still she'd yet to find a reasonable answer to this particular quandary so she'd have to let it rest for now. "But fuck that I don't wanna." she said sticking her tongue out at the Sky King from the place she'd followed him up to. According to him the shop he'd gone to only had strawberry and chocolate flavored pocky. Both of which were good but not the thing the girl wanted most, "Fine, I guess after this I'll have pudding and celebrate instead." she said moving around the Sky King with a grin on her face. "So, then what do you want to see first something old or something new??" she asked opening her eyes after a blink to reveal that special multi-pupil eye she possessed, while she took on spiraling movements around Shoichi which created both cold air and snow and ice to further fall down around the house and occupy the atmosphere they were in.

[Bloodedge]

"Why wouldn't I be excited about that? Strippers make the world go 'round. And, skirts are the best for... well... pulling them up... and like... shakin' dat ass... and... stuff." Shoichi's words seemed to lack much thought prior to the moment before each part of his statement was made. In the end, he had almost given up on speaking altogether, but he pushed through nonetheless. "That's a dumb question," he said when asked if he wanted to see an old trick or a new trick. "Unless it's something that'll give me a boner, I don't wanna see the same thing twice. I mean, unless that is what you were talkin' about."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo looked at the Sky King blankly for a few seconds just shaking her head back and forth. It was times like these which in which she wondered if this was simply a man thing or if there was something wrong in the mind of the Sky King. "Shoichi Logic." this is all she had to say, because such statements could only be categorized as such. She could have spent a whole day, explaining why she wasn't interested in stripping, lifting short skirts, and the like, but she figured such explanations would be lost upon the Sky King who would likely say something along the lines of... 'that's cool and all but you could just do it for me.' With that in mind they seemed to move right along and the Sky King stated he didn't want to see something old unless it would give him a boner. A grin passed her face, as she realized he probably didn't know what she meant when she said a statement like that. "Not at all what I meant, though knowing it could happen accidentally through no direct trying of my own~ I suppose I could do both or neither though. I didn't actually try using tricks when I did this earlier." she said aloud. A second there after, vibrations ensued from her regalia along with magnetism which brought snow and ice towards her form as it vibrated onto her person it created a form of her body which was armored basically in ice, but it was much deeper than the skin. She'd take on a ghostly state with white hair and blue lips and be almost completely frozen. At this point she couldn't feel her heartbeat any more and it was still kind of odd. "Oh, that still feels weird." She said as she moved forward. "I'm like solidly ice now, in case you were wondering." she said in an offhanded manner those vibrations still emitting from her person for about her arms length in every direction around herself.

[Bloodedge]

"Fuckin' badass logic," was the Sky King's retort. For some reason, he didn't believe Chiyo actually held interest for his most recent set of ideas, but that was another matter entirely once she showcased her newest skill. When he saw it, his eyes widened and his lips twisted at the corner. "... Oh. Well. OK," he said while hovering closer, until he eventually spun around the Storm Queen and inspected this new form. For it to be entirely ice was interesting, but considering the type of person Shoichi was, he was obviously more concerned with the appearance. "That's a lot of white. Blue lips. So, if you're ice, then..." He seemed to be rather curious about something, and in fact, it was whether the young woman's body now had the characteristic hardness of solid ice. Of course, he chose to test this by leaning toward her and reaching out with his right forefinger, which he aimed to have poke at her left breast to check for any squish, or lack thereof.

[Apollymi]

The Storm Queen rolled her eyes when the Sky King to her statement about his logic. He probably thought it true so she didn't bother trying to argue this with him. His movements around her after she took her most recent form, made the girl scoff just a little, and the curling of the corners of his lips didn't go unnoticed. "Fuck! Why is that the commentary, not once but twice?" she said thinking of how Kae had responded to the same thing earlier. Still the Sky King seemed content to try and reach out to touch the young woman, but in seeing the movements of his arm she moved out of the way of his hand long before it would have reached her and Shoichi would be left to poke the air instead. Her shift took her further to his right and she tsked. This was fun though because it would probably lead to her ability to explain one of the other things she'd been working on. "Really, girl made of ice, you were just talking about catching the sniffles, and yet, you try and touch her. No sense." she said with a wide grin.

[Bloodedge]

Shoichi paid no mind to the statement Chiyo made about hearing this sort of thing twice today; he was a bit too preoccupied trying to make contact at the time. However, it seemed he would have no joy on this day, as his finger passed through thin air while on its path. This brought the slightest bit of displeasure to the Sky King's visage, and resulted in him shoving his hands into his pockets and scoffing. "Che! I ain't gonna catch a cold with my finger, but whatever."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo looked at the Sky King and saw his reaction to being avoiding and shook her head. She moved back in front of him and stuck her tongue out at him, unbeknownst to her it was blue like her lips. "Neh, never said you would, but frost bite is real, and I got no idea how cold I am. Don't look so displeased." she said knowing she didn't have any idea what temperature her body was currently at. "You can touch me if you like, I only moved to warn you." she said rolling her eyes. She seemed more than a bit amused by this moment but she simply moved closer to the Sky King until she was right in front of him close enough to touch, but she wouldn't move to be right up against him, she'd merely wait. Watching with those ten points of vision present in her eyes.

[Bloodedge]

Shoichi's eyes had begun to narrow, but when Chiyo moved in front of him and cleared him to reach out again, he raised a brow instead. He still removed his right hand from his pocket, and extended that arm forward to reach for the Storm Queen again. When he was able to do so properly, his arm stopped moving just shy of making contact. He wasn't sure if this was due to the cold essence leaking off her very being, or something else entirely. He was, however, quite sure it was the former. Either way, his hand soon found its home in his pocket again. "Huh. That's pretty freaky. Almost gives me an idea for a new trick, but I'll figure that out later."

[Apollymi]

When Shoichi's hand reached out for her again she frowned slightly. Realizing that he wasn't going to touch her this time, she felt no reason to move out of the way of his hand again. He seemed to find something odd about her, in the same way that she felt something odd when he approached her. Like a disturbance in the vibrations around her person. 'Sou ka... that must be how he did it.' she thought of the perception of the Gem King. "Hai, I thought the same thing when I acquired it for myself earlier." she said a grin passing over her face. This form was battle ready but since she didn't intend to beat the Sky King to a pulp it didn't seem right to keep it up at this point, as such the vibrations stopped around the girl and the residual ice fell away from her person and she soon enough found herself shaking ice shards out of her hair. "Eh, that form is built for combat... it's nice~" she said thinking about it more she looked at Shoichi and thought about the trick she'd developed with the Thunder King, it wasn't something to be tested out on a friend, she'd only done it before because she'd been fairly certain the Thunder King would survive it. "Oh, I can do this other thing, but not to you... but watch." she phrased this very specifically, as she moved away and once she had what she thought was a more than reasonable bit of clearance she began to move, her movements shredding the bonds of the existing ice in the air about 50 meters away from the Sky King. Such an action, caused the shards to then slam into each other, and then a few seconds later a static charge built up which would result in a bolt of lightning which reached the ground from the position in the air. She still couldn't get over being able to do this and it caused to her giggle just a bit. "Sugei!~ I still can't get over that one!~"

[Bloodedge]

"I wouldn't say the same thing. I was gonna try to fuck it," the Sky King commented with one finger raised for emphasis, and a single nod of his head given. "But, anyway. You should put a sword on that shit. Like... an ice katana or something. You've been doing kendo shit a lot, yeah? That'd be pretty sweet." Shoichi went on to behold the accumulation of ice crystals, which eventually clashed together and created a bolt of lightning as a result. "... Oro?" he said while blinking in disbelief. "That's... That's no fair! I want a badass kill move like that!"

[Apollymi]

Chiyo knew that Shoichi was quite serious about trying to have relations with her while she was frozen solid. Even knowing he was serious she couldn't really believe he'd take that much of a risk with a body part he was likely very attached to. She said but one thing about this and it was about what one could expect of her in this situation. "You'd freeze your dick off." she stated rather simply. Moving right along apparently the addition of a sword or something of the like was recommended to her frozen form and after thinking about it for a few seconds she nodded. "Would be pretty cool. And yeah, been doing Kendo lately, and Kanda is probably not going to let me quit so, it'd give me something to do with the skill. I'll look into it." mentioned the girl.

As this progressed she soon performed the trick which she'd thought up while fighting the Thunder King this afternoon and awaited Shoichi's reaction to it with an amused look on her face. Right after, the Sky King seemed to be astounded and then beyond that called the move unfair, claiming that he too wanted a move which was a 'badass kill'. All of this made Chiyo giggle and nod. "What do you mean it's not fair? You control the wind and fuck knows what else by now. And I've seen you make like dozens of tornadoes at once, you got plenty of flashy kill potential." she said while sticking her tongue out at the Sky King. A few seconds thereafter she began circling him. "Fuck! You've seen the laser, my eye's ability to acquire vision, ice armor thing, the lightning thing." she said trying to think of what was left since she did make a promise to the Sky King about showing him all of her new skills. "Eh, I feel like I've forgotten something really important..." she said looking over the Sky King's form and taking note of his ATs and remembering the wing spread from a time long before they met outside the Tower. "Oh! But you were also holding out on me!~ What else new do you have?" she questioned upon remembering what she had left to show the Sky King but figuring she would be able to show him that in a bit, and knowing that she wanted to see what he'd been gone a month to learn, besides subtlety in his trick start ups.

[Bloodedge]

"Well... yeah, there's all that, but it's not that flashy. That shit'll kill somebody before they even know what hit 'em. I mean, it's not like I wanna kill people, but... the ability to do it would be pretty cool for showing off, if nothing else." This was the young man's only commentary about having a trick as flashy and deadly as a lightning strike. There seemed to be something else the Storm Queen had to showcase, but she was apparently having a bit of trouble remembering what it was. She was also apparently interested in whatever he'd been holding back; a mention which caused the Sky King to remove his hands from his pockets. "Eto... I did come up with something. My Road's done now." To prepare for his demonstration, Shoichi stretched his arms wide and interfaced with the wind as it swirled about. His ocular ability activated over the course of three seconds, and with it, he saw the perfect opening in the flow of wind to activate the core ability of his secondary Road. With a single clap from the Sky King, the sky he and Chiyo inhabited became filled with sparkling light, which came as the result of small crystals being formed from debris in the air. Beyond this, the wind itself was no more in the vicinity, as it had all been imploded to create the crystals Shoichi referred to as stardust. "This is my new Infinity Atmosphere... All-Embracing Aurora: Victim Sanctuary."

[Apollymi]

"Hm, I suppose most of that is true. Showing off shit like that is always pretty cool, I was proud of myself a second ago~" she affirmed as her hands came to rest on her hips and she waited for what the Sky King had been holding out on her earlier in the day. She'd seen at least the tricks he developed and used against the Raidraptors, since she'd been watching, but beyond this she had no idea what else the Sky King had been learning. When he removed his arms from his pockets and showcased his completed road, Chiyo's eyes widened. Beyond that the use of this infinity atmosphere was started simply with a hand clap and this clap brought with it light crystals from the air and placed it around the pair of them. Such a sight was rather new to the Storm Queen and she seemed amazed by it, to her it looked like a night sky dotted by stars but all around them. "Su.... sugoi!~ This is fucking awesome!~" she said squealing with girlish delight. She noticed the lack of wind within this space, and likened it to the former use of the Astral Magus.

[Bloodedge]

Shortly after the Infinity Atmosphere's birth, Shoichi began creating wind in his right hand, using it to collect the stardust around him. In this moment, he was surrounded by a halo of light, but it soon receded into his palm just before his hand closed. When his hand opened moments later, wind rocketed the crystals outward to create a light-show that looked as if it were bending space around it. "I thought this Road was going to be really offensive, but it ended up being more about bending light than anything. I guess that makes sense, what with the eyes and all, but... I made up a couple of legit attacks with it. I can't use one of them like I am now, though."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo watched as a halo of light surrounded Shoichi and then a few moments thereafter, a light show took place which made it look like space was bending around the pair of them. She had never seen a trick like this before, and it was impossible to really follow. Still she thought it was amazing to look at, and couldn't help but think of the tactical advantages to being able to look as though you are controlling space. She soon allowed her eyes to flicker all over the space they occupied and pouted. Realizing that she hadn't taken anything from the Sky King, though she had at least taken a trick or principles for tricks off of every other person she'd come across this day. 'Fuck! This is really cool... but I don't know.' she moved around the space and around Shoichi figuring out how his body interacted with the light he was bending through the crystals and not being able to help but notice the similarities between this and one of her more recently developed tricks. 'Eh, well this is kind of the opposite of what I do to make the lightning strike. He presses stuff together to make the light, and I'm ripping it apart to make electricity, but...' she had to pause her thinking to address the statements made by Shoichi. "Well, you can't understate the ability to control a space, and... light bending is fucking cool. You can't use one now though..." she paused thinking about it coming to a conclusion pretty quickly based on trick usage. "Zone trick, huh? Well, that is fine... we still need stuff to show off other days~" she said as she hovered around Shoichi and then around the edge of the Victim Sanctuary alternating between forward and backward motions as she thought a bit. And she just stood watching it seemingly amazed by the twinkling bits of light in it which had been created by the Sky King. "Fuck! That's it!!" she said seemingly very excited about something.

[Bloodedge]

"Hai. I mean, I could walk right in... like right now. Buuut, I don't really wanna. We just got the house back, and I don't think it'll survive the shock wave." With that said, Shoichi reverted to floating in the sky with his arms crossed and his body leaned back at a 45 degree angle. As he tried to think back on the earlier trick idea he had, the Storm Queen became excited over something, though he had no earthly idea what it could have been. "Oro?"

[Apollymi]

"Yeah, probably don't want to break the house we haven't even slept in yet... Besides I spent a large chunk of the afternoon in the Zone, I'd crash for a couple of days at least if I did any more today." she said with a nod. Beyond this it seemed that she and the Sky King were both doing a bit of thinking, and her own had interrupted his. While she'd been moving within the confines of the Sky King's Infinity Atmosphere, she'd been spreading around ice and ice crystals but she'd been thinking about the mechanics which led to the creation of the lightning strike. At Shoichi's question she stopped moving right in front of him and smiled. "I was upset, thinking I hadn't found anything to take from you." she said before continuing to explain a few seconds later. "I've been playing with different people all day, to figure out things from their roads, I can use for my new regalia to fix my tricks up a bit... I was thinking, I'd just take a bit from everyone who gave me something, but I couldn't think of anything to take from you." she concluded but she was still very happy. "But I don't think I have to take anything. That lightning strike trick, works because of how snow and ice are formed, as crystals. I break them apart, and they want to go back together, so they slam into each other and the residual energy collects and then discharges as lightning." she stated, explaining the trick because there was something really important she could do.

"I can just keep breaking them until they want to go back together in an order that makes sense, and when I do that..." she paused and moved about within this space, basically dancing atop all the snow and ice crystals she'd created until with a single magnetized burst they stuck within the infinity atmosphere of the Sky King, causing the light he'd created there to shift condensing across it with larger pockets of light which moved across the whole of the surface of the space. It changed the density of the crystals found within the walls, causing it to drop temperature rapidly but beyond that seeming to strengthen the defensive nature of it in some way. "Basically... I think I took my secondary road from you." the constant shifting of this new space reminding her of the snowman she'd super charged with an electrical burst so that it looked more like crystal than snow.

[Bloodedge]

It seemed to be the case that Chiyo had been trying to take something from his Road to create a trick of some sort, but she ended up taking it a few steps beyond that. Shoichi had been working on his secondary Road for approximately two months, and now, the Storm Queen had the means of creating her own based on similarities she already had with his. Though a smile was on his face, Shoichi also maintained a raised brow while looking at the lass. "A whole Road, huh? That's pretty sweet, but you didn't have to take it that far. You'd get a lot more out of basic wind manipulation."

[Apollymi]

It seemed her explanation made sense to the Sky King, but he took what she'd said in a direction she hadn't actually thought of before. The stunned Storm Queen stopped moving directly in front of Shoichi and had the blankest expression on her face. Wind manipulation was something she'd observed in various forms for a rather large chunk of her life, she hadn't thought of its additions to her as a person, because she knew herself and she didn't think wind manipulation would work for her. "Fuck! You do know this is me we're talking about. I've watched wind manipulators forever, I don't think I got that in me." she concluded. And this was true, there was a distinctness in Chiyo's personality, mainly her inability to do anything with any sort of patience, which made her believe that wind manipulation was well outside of her own possible skills. She was also hyper aggressive and from what she knew of wind manipulation her brand of hyper aggression wouldn't lead to any sort of skill. Chiyo in this moment was almost certain that wind manipulation wouldn't actually amount of much of anything for her, there weren't many things she watched and thought she couldn't do, but that was one of them.

[Bloodedge]

"Baaaka~" Shoichi replied following Chiyo's claim that wind manipulation likely wouldn't work out for her. "Your wings are feathery. That means you've got wind manipulation in ya'. They look pretty heavy, though. You'd probably be classified as a power type if you were a wind rider," he concluded, seeming to have his focus brought to the area surrounding the Storm Queen, instead of looking directly at her. "By the way, you might have been watching wind manipulators, and that's cool and all, but... it ain't the same. You borrowed my vision earlier, but you still didn't see what I see. You're lookin' for the wrong thing, and there's a lot ya' gotta understand to make it work out for ya'."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo listened to Shoichi and while she expected him to say she could do it, the way he phrased this sentence made her a bit confused. Well, that wasn't really the proper way to describe it, nothing in the Sky King's first few sentences made any sense to this girl. All the confusion washed over her face as she crossed her arms over her chest looking a tad perturbed. "I don't know what the fuck you are even talking about right now. Wings? Feathery? Heavy? Power type? Fuck! None of those things are even remotely logical." the Storm Queen seemed to be a tiny bit annoyed. Beyond this the rest of what Shoichi had to say and found it to be a bit less annoying to understand. "The rest of that though... alright." she said, she knew that the hardest part of vision was knowing what to use it for, she didn't know what to really look for with her own. She still didn't have it in her to turn down a challenge or a new learning experience, so she'd take what Shoichi had to offer, and all of the frustrations that would probably give her.

[Bloodedge]

"Yare yare," Shoichi said with a sigh as he raised both hands in front of himself. He supposed he hadn't actually showed Chiyo what wings were like, and with that in mind, he clapped his hands to manipulate the surrounding stardust into revealing the wings he spoke of. "There. Heavy-looking, feathery wings. Judging by those, I'd say that if you were a wind rider, R.E.A.D. would have you classed as a Power type. Those wings don't make for speed or flexibility. You'd be Gale Road, without a doubt. Now, about that understanding... If you wanna use the wind, ya' gotta accept that you can't own it. The wind does what it wants, and all you can do is guide it."

[Apollymi]

It seemed that Chiyo's lack of understanding would lead to the Sky King clarifying in a most unconventional way. The shift in hands changed the stardust around the pair of them, revealing on the small girl some heavy looking feathery wings. She'd never seen anything like this before and found herself staring over her shoulder as if distracted by the sight. "Sugei!~ That's so cool! They look fluffy!~ Kawaii!~" she squealed and giggled with girlish delight while she twisted and turned her upper body while taking in what Shoichi was saying and wondering why he was capable of showing her such a thing. His explanation beyond that seemed to connect these wings with a particular leaning towards a certain flavor of wind based road. When he moved on to say that the understanding of the wind she needed was that she couldn't own it, the small girl stopped her happy looking to face the young man before her with narrow eyes. The look she was giving wasn't a pleasant one either, she seemed to be a bit cross at the idea not that she'd say that aloud. In her head it translated to... 'Who the fuck do you think I am? I'll own whatever the fuck I want.' the girl's nature was a bit acquisitive but it wasn't something she usually thought about actively, so she didn't say anything about it. No instead she circled back. "We don't just get to move past this, like you didn't just manifest this out of nowhere. the fuck! Shoichi why and how do you see this?" she questioned the thing she understood while not giving anything about apparently only guiding the wind, that wasn't really something.

[Bloodedge]

Though Chiyo said nothing about it, Shoichi chose to reemphasize the lack of domination one could have on the wind due to the expression she carried after hearing about it initially. "You heard me. Guidance; no control. It ain't possible to make the wind your bitch," he said. It seemed, though, that the Storm Queen was more immediately concerned with his ability to see wings. It just so happened to be the case that this was a more advanced form of what he intended to lead this teaching with. "I've always seen them. Well... sorta. I didn't always see them clearly, and I didn't really know what they meant, but... the key to wind manipulation is first being able to see the wind. Ya' don't need special eyes for that; you just have to be able to predict it. The wind scatters light when it moves, so if you look for that light, you can start to see the wind and find its pattern."

[Apollymi]

The Sky King went on to add more emphasis to some sort of innate inability to control the wind. Well, in the sense of domination which was something the Storm Queen was known for doing. She looked at the white haired young man before her and frowned her eyes darting to the left. "I fucking heard you the first time. Doesn't mean I have to like that shit." she mentioned sticking her tongue out at the young man. And this was rather true of her as a person, she didn't like the idea that there were things she couldn't have if she wanted them and people she couldn't dominate if she needed to, it gave her anxiety. And was probably one of the main reasons she kept such close tabs on people who seemed to be immune to her antics. Still the Sky King was presenting her with essential information and she'd at least hear it out and try to process it. "Scattering light... huh." she shifted her vision from the Sky King around the space aiming to see the wind move, in her turn she'd deactivated her special eye, figuring she should see if it was possible to notice what she was looking for without it. After all, she wouldn't always want to use the type of vision she'd become accustomed to over the last month or so, and it would be better to figure this out on her own. "Also you didn't actually explain the wings." she stated as she continued looking around.

[Bloodedge]

It was soon brought to Shoichi's attention that, even though he had gone over the ability to predict the wind, he had left out the bit about seeing the wings of other riders. "Oh, right. I guess that was the point, huh? Got a bit ahead of myself," he said prior to bringing his hand to his chin, as if to think of the proper explanation for the wings again. "The wings... they're a bit different. That's where the crazy eye comes in. Every rider interfaces with the wind on their run, no matter how much or how little. That leaves a sort of... imprint on the wind around you, and boom... wings. That's basically how I know how your run's gonna evolve, and how you've got wind in ya'. That's the future I see."

[Apollymi]

While she stared out into the air, Chiyo tried to understand this scattering light. She knew that it was almost impossible to trace the movements of the wind alone, so she looked for the bigger picture. Such would be how she aimed to understand this other form of prediction and after how it would be used. As her eyes began tracing looking for the patterns of the wind, she heard out Shoichi's explanation for what wings actually were. She was quite stunned by it. It seemed like it would be really useful, and not just for figuring out what people's roads were going to do. "Sou ka, that sounds pretty fucking useful. You should totally figure out how to use that to see how people are gonna attack ya' and shut them down. That'd be fucking badass." she said as she began to see the shifting of the light around the pair of them. Even with her normal eyes there were small shimmers which would alert her to a breeze which she'd feel across her skin. It's how she figured out what to look at, feeling then looking and after a few moments she knew where to look to before the feeling took place. Kind of like watching an animal hear a sound in the distance. Only in this case she was seeing a movement and averting her attention to watch it more fully. Such a thing would lead to the girl seeming a bit distracted, though now she fully understood an oddly annoying factor about her wind loving friends.

[Bloodedge]

"Oro?" he said reflexively. "... Sou ka. I guess I haven't thought about it like that before, but now that you mention it... there is a bit of flapping that happens when people use tricks, or even move." Shoichi would have to remember to keep that bit of information in mind for later. For the moment, though, Chiyo was doing well to become capable of seeing the light of which he spoke. This was easily noticed by her very spaced-out expression while looking around at, seemingly, nothing at all to a normal individual. Shoichi joined her in this wind gazing, and spoke as he looked around. "Looks awesome, doesn't it?" he asked upon reaching the Storm Queen's side and shifting his gaze to look at the same winds.

[Apollymi]

"Hm-huh." this was uttered by the Storm Queen in response to the Sky King's assertion about better uses for his ability to see wings. She'd have to remember to show him what her eye was actually capable of, in order to help him develop that skill. But right now she was utterly distracted by the shifting winds. So distracted, in fact, that she soon found herself just replying to the Sky King when he came up beside her to join her in staring at the wind around them. She had an issue with seeing this much at base, as it had to make everyone else utterly useless as people, if all they got to see was wind around people all the time. Even so, she did think it looked amazing. "Hai~ It's fucking stunning." she said pausing after realizing she'd spoken aloud and frowning just a little bit. She seemed to feel the need to clarify a bit so she did. "Distracting as all hell, but... it's growing on me. So, then what's next?"

[Bloodedge]

Shoichi spent a bit more time staring at the sky, eventually finding out that Chiyo thought the wind to be distracting. He had to agree; she was very right in this assertion, but it was simply something one got used to with time. "You'll adjust. Ya' kinda have to... it's not the kind of thing you can stop seeing. I mean, you can ignore it, but why the fuck would ya' wanna do that?" Moving right along, Chiyo wondered what came next. Without thinking much about his own choice of words, he crossed his arms while raising his right forefinger most knowingly. "Next, we gotta get those hands on the ground, and those legs in the air!"

[Apollymi]

"Oh yay! I get to have distracting shit in my regular vision and distracting shit in my extra vision. It's all I ever wanted." the Storm Queen said most sarcastically, she could then be seen moving the long ends of her bangs away from the edges of her vision its as if they were adding to her level of distraction. Even so, she lived with the distractions of her own brain, she doubted it would be terribly bad after a while. And though she could think of several reasons to ignore the ability to see the wind, she also figured it wouldn't help her properly develop it if she did so too soon. Moving right along, her question of what would be next was followed by some very interesting commentary from the Sky King. Who was still being semi-serious but his choice in words made the girl's brows raise. A single breath would escape her, "Fuck! Ya' know, there was a time where I'd assume you were just being a pervert, and I'd kick you in the chest or something like that." she said as her hands shifted down to her hips. "But now I'm gonna assume you didn't mean that the way it came out and wait for the explanation."

[Bloodedge]

"That's the spirit," he said with a roll of his eyes. "It'll help, if ya' ask me. You focus on shit too much. Loosen up a bit, let the distractions take over every now and then. That's the definition of freedom." To go along with his mention of what came next, Shoichi beckoned Chiyo toward himself while descending toward the ground. After reaching the poolside of the house, and only after Chiyo joined him there, he would offer an explanation. "Now that you mention it, that wouldn't be a bad idea. But, I said exactly what I meant. Ya' gotta be able to catch Moon Drops, and to do that, you're gonna need to train your body for it. So... walk on your palms with your body parallel to the floor... while not touching the floor with your fingers, or anything besides your palms, at all."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo chuckled as Shoichi mentioned that he thought distractions would help her out a bit. It was something that everyone seemed to say lately, that she needed to loosen up and relax and not focus so hard on things. She knew this to be the case, but she required the activity to be calm, so she'd eventually have to find some way to mitigate her circumstances. "Fuck! Fine, if even you say it, it has to be true huh?" she said sticking her tongue out at the Sky King who soon enough motioned towards the ground. A need to descend seemed to be fine with the young woman and once she was on the ground again she allowed her regalia to revert to its original form. From here, she was hearing out what Shoichi had to say about the next aspect of the training and it caused her a bit of confusion. Beyond that the mention that nothing but her palms would be able to touch the ground made the girl frown as she looked over the Sky King's person seeming to assess his physical fitness while she did, those multiple pupils showing in her eyes while she did this. "Sou... ka." and while she did so she'd shifted the vision between them if a moment of eye contact was made. This would be done so she could make sure this wasn't too far outside her physical capabilities. "Fuck, this is going to hurt tomorrow." she mentioned and with that done, she turned her body reverting her eyes to normal to assume this position which she oddly enough started from a handstand which was perfectly possible for her given her leisure activity with the Thorn Queen of their generation. But as she tried to lower herself into into the position that Shoichi had claimed necessary for this training she lost her balance and comically fell into the snow. "FUCK!"

[Bloodedge]

As he waited for Chiyo to begin, Shoichi reverted to consuming pocky one stick at a time. In the meantime, he observed the starting handstand of the Storm Queen, which... didn't seem to transition very well. Once she fell, Shoichi cringed and recalled a very crucial detail he had forgotten. "Eto... gomen, gomen. I forgot something. Ya' gotta be able to shift your center of gravity. That shit's physically impossible without doing it; your legs'll bring you down every time. Shift all of your weight into your chest. I know, I know, dat ass ain't gonna make it easy, but... I think ya' got a good pair of balancers up there. Want help?" he asked, stepping forward to offer himself for potentially keeping the lass' lower body elevated while she adjusted to the shifting.

[Apollymi]

After she fell, Chiyo heard an apology uttered by Shoichi, followed by an explanation of why this action didn't work out the first time she'd attempted it. Her eyes narrowed in his direction as she gave him a look which could only be classified as evil from her fallen place. "Physically impossible.. no shit." she offered as commentary. Chiyo wasn't well used to things not working out the first time she tried it, but it seemed there was at least a reasonable enough explanation to keep her from completely losing her mind over it. She laid in the snow staring up at the sky for a few seconds while processing the information about the balancing of her body weight and why she might find it difficult initially. She exhaled then before she finally got, picking herself up out of the snow, dusting herself off and rotating her shoulders. "Fuck! I'll be damned if gravity or my own anatomy stop me from doing any fucking thing!~" she mentioned seeming to hype herself up quite a bit before going back to her hand standing position. Only then after blowing her bangs from her face did she remember that the Sky King had offered to help. Surprisingly enough, she'd say something most wouldn't expect. "I'll accept the help, since ya' offered." she mentioned before she began the work of trying to lower herself while shifting her center of gravity even farther up her person than her navel which is about how far she'd gotten before her previous fall.

[Bloodedge]

"Don't talk like you already knew that after falling over from trying it," the lad replied while leaned forward to inspect the Storm Queen's form again. He wasn't expecting to actually have his help accepted, but to his surprise, it was. Being one to keep his word and offer assistance where desired, Shoichi stepped behind Chiyo as she assumed the position again. As he leaned forward to grab her by the ankles, he offered a bit more commentary. "That's a bit closer to home. If the weight shifting keeps being a problem, you could always ditch a few clothes~♥"

[Apollymi]

"Obviously, I found out the hard way." the Storm Queen mentioned of her words about the impossibility of walking on one's hands the way the Sky King suggested. Moving right along, he actually did help her out and she soon found herself in the proper position with all the strain that required, even with the Sky King holding up the lower half of her body, finding the proper shift of her center of gravity was still a bit more work than Chiyo would have expected. Still a few more moments and she'd be relatively certain of having found the right point to rest her weight on to be able to carry herself by this new method. But before she could comment on this, Shoichi said something which caused her to turn her head so she could look back at him over her left shoulder. "Huh? Run that by me again... how the fuck is ditching clothing supposed to help?" she asked of the Sky King assuming of course that she'd missed something important in his sentence in her concentration to get into the right position.

[Bloodedge]

Of all the things he expected to receive as a response to his most recent suggestion, the one he received was not on the list. He had absolutely nothing prepared for a legitimate question about what he had said. "Err... umm... Better distribution of gravity...?" he said with an upward inflection. Frankly, the Sky King had simply been saying whatever words had popped into his head, as he often did. It was simply in his nature to do so, and the thoughts he had were quite frequently of a perverse nature by default.

[Apollymi]

"Right. Sound fucking logic you got there." she said a smirk on her face as she was now more certain than she was before that her actual question had caught the Sky King off guard. She was playing along with this at the moment because she thought it was funny. This probably had something to do with the unreasonable amount of time spent bantering with the Flame King, not that it mattered much in this particular moment. "Fuck! I am pretty sure I got this, how long I gotta walk around like this?" she asked of the Sky King, this was a lot of physical activity and though she was used to being really active, she was also all about results and she didn't see any quickly coming from any of this.

[Bloodedge]

"Yeah, that's what I thought too. All that shit won't be in the way when you have to curl up and run on your palms at full speed like this. That's the next thing, by the way," Shoichi said as he gave a slight push to the Storm Queen's ankles, as if to guide her into such a position before ultimately letting go. "Run around the property, count every window pane, every lawn chair, and every tree around. The number isn't really important, but it should make for a decent route for travel. I'll run with you." As he spoke, Shoichi lowered himself onto his palms as well, doing so with flawless precision as if to imply that this was how he mastered the wind, as well. "This training is all about surface."

[Apollymi]

"Says this as if I am wearing more than two articles of clothing right now. One of which has already lost like eighty percent of its mass." she said eyes darting in his direction as she curled her legs into her person before having them reach the appropriate level which brought her knees into her chest. "Running around at full speed on my arms, nice... I've totally been skipping arms' day." she said sarcastically. But she was starting to realize why the first generation's Storm Queen had such a balanced figure, it was simply a side-effect of the road she was on. Moving right along, it seemed Shoichi was ready to join her in this part of the endeavor and having already been given a set of guidelines she was more than ready to get started and once they were in the right position she did. Making her way from the pool so she could begin counting window panes assuming of course that the Sky King was either at her side or in front of her not that she was looking at anything other than the house.

[Bloodedge]

The moment Chiyo took off, Shoichi did the same, keeping pace with the young woman as she darted around the property. This was his first time getting a look at the entire house from outside, so he was sure to take in the view of what was now his property. However, his gaze was mostly set on Chiyo herself, and while it was, he inspected her hands each time they made contact with the ground. "You feel it, right? The vacuum phenomenon creating suction between your palm and the ground, almost like your hand doesn't want to separate from it?"

[Apollymi]

While she moved it was taking almost all of her concentration to keep herself up at her current level while counting. Her eyes darting about as she did this, the Sky King's words registered in her head. The thing was she hadn't been actively thinking about what her hands were doing besides moving her about on her palms, after a few seconds more of movement though her eyes widened and she thought about what Shoichi probably meant. "Yeah, I suppose it is kind of hard to pull my hands up like this. I assumed that was because balance... but, you mean it's something else?" she questioned as she continued on. Soon enough they'd be rounding one edge of the property and taking in a different angle of the house where there'd be a continued counting of the windows there. This was an interesting way to do this, and it made her wonder how and why the Sky King had come up with it. If she didn't become too distracted she'd try and remember to ask.

[Bloodedge]

"It's totally something else," he said while continuing to trace Chiyo's movements and keep even with her forward momentum. "Wind manipulation is all about vacuums. If you put two flat objects together, and take the wind out, then you can't separate those two objects anymore. Like I said, this training is all about surface. Surface being the space between your palm and the floor. Surface also being the space between the back of your hand, and the end of the atmosphere. Remember this feeling in your hands, and you'll be able to use those surfaces to your advantage. Let's finish this up, and you'll find out."

[Apollymi]

Hearing out is secondary explanation while she continued to move, Chiyo seemed to be coming to an easy understanding of what the Sky King was getting at. A smile came over her face. "Fuck! That's... really clever.~" she mentioned before her body picked up speed and she continued moving taking a special note to memorize the feelings that her hands had when they made contact with the ground. It would only take a few more minutes, for the Storm Queen to round the corner of the property and eventually end up back at the starting point. Though the numbers weren't of any importance, she knew exactly how many window panes, lawn chairs and trees were now present in their living space. "Next!~" she chimed seemingly amused. She really did like learning new things and this was about the right blend of physical activity and movement that she required not to be bored by something.

[Bloodedge]

Soon enough, the Sky King found himself coming to a stop alongside Chiyo, right back where they had started on this course. When they reached the end, he hopped up into a standing position, grinning due to the apparent amusement of the Storm Queen while raising his right hand to offer a high-five. Of course, if Chiyo were to acquiesce to this, it was very likely that a burst of wind would happen around the pair, due in part to Shoichi's efforts, but in a larger part to the likely adjustments Chiyo's hands had made to creating the necessary effect for wind manipulation. The wind burst would only occur if both requirements were met, and Shoichi's was surely inline to make it happen. "Osu! Looks like those wings are flapping for some real flight now!"

[Apollymi]

The Storm Queen too, righted herself stretching just a bit even in her apparent amusement. The high five offered by Shoichi would be met by Chiyo and much to her own surprise cause a burst of wind around the duo as her right hand met his following that last bit of training. Her eyes widened just a little bit as she stared at her own palm knowing it was the interaction between both of their hands that caused this, and not the Sky King's hand alone. "Uh, that's a little fucking freaky." she said staring at her hand just a few more seconds before shaking off the feeling that something was very strange with her now that she was going to have to cope with. Still she felt surprisingly the development of new and different muscles and now had a reasonable idea of how to change the center of her gravity, which she'd likely find useful. She wondered if these things would all be needed for whatever Shoichi was planning to actually show her next.

[Bloodedge]

"Ya' get used to it," he said as he shifted himself toward Chiyo's rear, where he would lean over to place his head over her left shoulder and look forward. While doing so, he held his left palm out in front of the Storm Queen, pointing it toward a palm tree at the end of the yard, while his right hand rested upon her right shoulder. "The border between air of different densities. That's your target. A basic wind rider can ride on the differential pressure. To take it a step beyond that, you have to create the differential. Then, with a liiiittle bit of a push, you can move the 'surface' of the air. Go ahead." His outward facing palm was simply meant for demonstration, but once he'd finished speaking, Shoichi expected Chiyo to use her own ability to interface with the air. In fact, he even lowered his left hand, and furthermore aimed to use it for the sake of lifting Chiyo's left arm into the same position his held in prior moments.

[Apollymi]

"You've got me getting used to a lot for a single day. Just sayin'." the Storm Queen said as she stood waiting for what was next. And soon enough Shoichi was standing behind her with his head over her left shoulder. Such a thing immediately caused her eyes to flicker towards this young man. And though she was definitely listening to what he was saying, she could mentally admit to being distracted by his proximity. "Create differential pressure, with my hand, and the air.... okay." she repeated the key phrases to let him know she'd been listening, but after she'd gone back to looking forward and seeing the extension of his arm beside her, she realized what he was getting at. As if that wasn't a big enough hint he also aimed to help lift her arm into the proper position which she allowed and she found herself with her left palm out towards this palm tree staring at the wind as it moved around them, after a few moments she seemed to feel alright about it and cause a burst of pressure to leave her palm which would disrupt the air in front of her for a couple dozen meters but not reaching the tree by a reasonable distance. Afterwards the girl looked at her hand as if she was confused by this ability. "What the fuck!?"

[Bloodedge]

"Hai!" he said with a smile while awaiting Chiyo's first official use of wind manipulation. She performed it successfully, and though her wind burst didn't quite reach the palm tree she aimed for, the range and force behind her wind was precisely what he anticipated. Her surprise at her ability to do this was also to be expected, but it was a rather pleasant moment which ended in Shoichi grasping both of the lass' shoulders. "Osu! You did it!" he exclaimed. "It's all uphill from here, but now you've got yourself an easy path to wherever you wanna go. So, where do ya' wanna go next?"

[Apollymi]

Chiyo was a bit stunned when Shoichi grabbed her by both her shoulders after she successfully did what he asked, she probably wouldn't have been as stunned if she hadn't been simply amazed by what she'd just done. 'I really don't think I am the one who should have this... oh well, it's too late to turn back now.' she thought as her eyes flickered around and she saw the scattering light and took it to be a sign this wasn't a skill she could just leave or run from. Still it was a happy moment and a large smile came to her face as she turned to face the Sky King. Her subsequent action would involved hopping up into his arms and slipping her own around his neck. "Fuck! You're a really good teacher, Shoichi!~" she said happily. "Arigatou Gozaimasu~" and upon thinking about it further she tried to figure out what she'd do with that sort of thing, and she only had one thing come to mind. "Hm, I'll probably just want to wind blast stuff... with cold air and ice. 'Cause... it will be useful to me." she said with a quick nod. She hadn't much thought about what to do with this, but she knew she was prone to using range over melee and the ability to manipulate the wind directly could only help with adding range to her melee combat.

[Bloodedge]

"Hai hai," he said in response to the thanks he had received. With the young woman hopping up and throwing her arms around his neck, he used his own arms to hold her up by the midsection. Apparently, her goal was to use the wind offensively to augment her projectiles, or perhaps to create new ones. This was an interesting method, and actually fed into his earlier assumption that Chiyo would have been a Power type as a wind rider. "That sounds about right. Blasting shit is pretty fun. That's why I made a laser~. Anything else ya' want while we're out here?"

[Apollymi]

A smile came to Chiyo's face as the Sky King mentioned that he also liked blasting things from time to time, and it was the thing which had lead to the development of one of his tricks. It was one of the ones she was familiar with and it made her smile pretty widely. "I always liked that one~" she said her smirk becoming just a bit devious as she allowed the Sky King to hold her up just a bit longer and enjoyed the feeling, she was quite happy they'd made up. After all of this she was asked if there was anything else she wanted while they were still outside. "Iie, I think that's enough for me to play with for a while. But..." she thought about it a bit more remembering that she had something important she could share with Shoichi that would help him develop his predictive ability. "Tomorrow, you should remind me that we should play tag. If we do that, I can show you how my eye actually works and in the process help you develop that visual skill of yours for battle purposes." she said with a wide grin. In all actuality it was what she'd been doing with her own eye, so she understood in theory how it could work which is why she'd suggested it. "I'd do it now, but I feel like I could pass out." she mentioned pecking Shoichi on the lips before she wiggled free of his grasp. "And you could probably use some sleep too right? Wanna have pudding with me first?" she asked offering up one of her favorite late night snacks as she often did when she and the Sky King were sharing a hotel suite, as she rolled towards the main building of the house stretching her arms and shoulders as she moved.

[Bloodedge]

"Tag? That sounds fun as shit!" After the young woman's peck on his lips, and during the subsequent movement, Shoichi released his hold on her person. An offer for pudding was placed on the proverbial table thereafter, and in spite of this being the sort of day that made the Sky King simply want to sleep and move past it, he figured it was in his best interest for numerous reasons to enjoy a bit of late night confections. "Sure; let's go," he said as he followed suit.

[Apollymi]

"Hai! I knew you'd like that..." she said figuring the Sky King would find it very easy to enjoy play for play's sake. Beyond this it was a very easy non-combat way to make someone use their eyes, and she doubted Shoichi would have the type of trouble she'd had figuring out how to play properly. Moving right along it seemed he was content to accept her offer for late night sweets and soon enough she was back in the house rolling towards the rather large kitchen on the first floor. She found it with great relative ease and once she was there rolled towards a cabinet which had been empty and opened it to show she'd stocked it herself with several dozen packages of lemon pudding with the small disposable spoons. She'd grab two of each before heading to the bar stools set up by the counter to enjoy, she'd offer Shoichi one pudding cup and one spoon, before looking at how high up the stool was and hopping onto with a minor look of displeasure. Even with the increase in height afforded to her by the ATS she wore right now, she figured she'd have difficulty doing this barefoot. But that was a matter for later. "Itadakimasu~" she chimed happily as she opened her pack of pudding to enjoy happily that which she'd loved since childhood.

[Bloodedge]

This moment of following the Storm Queen was the first time Shoichi had seen the ground floor of his own house; or at least this version of it. As such, he afforded himself a few moments to have a look around before Chiyo offered him a pudding cup. "Sankyuu," he said while accepting the cup and spoon, and taking a seat beside the Storm Queen. In a matter of moments, he had torn off the lid and begun eating. "I think I'm going to join this parts war."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo was happily devouring her pudding cup, when the Sky King mentioned that he planned to join in on the upcoming parts war. This made her look up from her delighted eating. This was of course, the second time she'd heard this today, but she was interested in his reasoning. "Why?" she asked simply between slow bites. She'd been considering this herself, but she hadn't figured out a good reason to do so, but given her interaction with the Rumble King this afternoon she was a bit worried about the people involving themselves in this parts war. She wanted to look after the smaller ones who weren't quite done yet, given how much time it'd taken her to get this far, she didn't want anyone else to be stunted by the people they were forced into fighting. Plus Aomine and his people were a looming threat, and not something she wanted to push onto the next generation either.

[Bloodedge]

When Chiyo questioned his participation in the parts war, Shoichi had a mouthful of pudding. He swallowed this bite first, then simply held the plastic spoon against his lip as he replied. "I faced the Raidraptors today, and they were strong. But... it's not the same for the rest of their generation, and even the Raidraptors will encounter some problems after people who went and developed for the sake of beating a team as strong as ours in the last tournament. These guys are gonna need a friendly presence around. Besides... it's gonna be fun as shit from what I've seen!"

[Apollymi]

During her continued eating she heard out what the Sky King had to say about the coming Parts War and she could only nod her agreement. Though she hadn't had as much of an interaction with the younger generation, she figured it could be fun to have someone to play with, and with no stakes for themselves they could help out. A smile crossed her face as she looked at the Sky King and agreed with his reasoning, because it was good in its simplicity. "Hai, that's some solid ass reasoning. I'm down. I also think we might need to be around to take the heat off the little ones while they figure out what way is up. And I always need something to do." she stated giving her own more general reasons for wanting to participate. Involving the rest of the group would be a pretty good thing to do, besides it would allow them to keep more solid eyes on everything. Which only brought up a single question. "Eh, should I arrange a meeting with everyone else, should we see if they wanna play too?" she questioned, wanting to involve the rest of her peers if they wished to participate would be for the best, especially considering the threat looming at the end of said Parts War.

[Bloodedge]

"Iia," he replied while bringing another spoonful of pudding toward his mouth. After consuming this bite, he pointed his spoon toward Chiyo while looking in her direction and speaking with one eye closed and a smile on his face. "We both know there's no need for that. They'll each join the parts war. Everybody's got a reason now, don't they?" he went on to ask, seeming to do so in a rhetorical manner.

[Apollymi]

A smile crossed Chiyo's face as she made a great deal of headway on her own pudding cup. She was about at the end of it when Shoichi fully explained that their friend would likely participate of their own accord as well. "Fair enough~ I'm kind of excited now!~" she squealed before finishing the last of her pudding. She really enjoyed ATs much more than most things in life and beyond that she seemed to be really excited about seeing all the new things the younger generation had to offer. Now that she took the last bite of her pudding and seemed to enjoy it with sparkling wide eyes like it was the first time all over again. Then she hopped off her bar stool with the spoon in her mouth as she went to dispose of the cup, after doing this she also dumped the cup and smiled like she'd had the best day in the world. "Oh and completely unrelated, I chose my room~ it's four down on the left side of yours." she said with a nod.

[Bloodedge]

"Right!? It's gonna be fuckin' sweet!" Shoichi concluded with much excitement stemming from him. As Chiyo move to dispose of her empty pudding cup, Shoichi took the last bite of his own pudding and shot the empty cup into the trash can as if it were a basketball. Of course, a little bit of wind guidance allowed the guaranteed landing of his shot. Afterwards, he stood and stretched, finding this to be about time to call it a night. "Four rooms down? The one across from the bathroom, huh? Figures," he said. "Alright. Sleep tight." And with that, the Sky King was off to his own room, where he would proceed to enter his personal shower (a shower designed by Roze, and thus, filled with heads from all angles with multiple settings) to prepare himself for bed.

[Apollymi]

"Hai!" she said in response to Shoichi's first statement then she got to watch the shot he made from his position and frowned slightly. "Nice shot, but that is so cheating." she said sticking her tongue out at the young man. He seemed to think something of her choice in bedroom, and though it was right across from the bathroom she hadn't chosen it for that reason. It seemed to be time to call it a night and so she would grinning towards the Sky King. "Hai, that's the one. Goodnight, Shoichi~" she said before heading off to her room. Once there she'd take down her pigtails grab her journal which was now very close to its end, and begin writing about the goings on of this day. Such an activity would take about 30 minutes of her time, but once she was satisfied that she'd written enough to fully cover the depth of the things she'd done this day she turned off her lights and settled in for bed. And there she would lay for an undisclosed amount of time.

[Bloodedge]

Shoichi enjoyed this new shower of his for about twenty-to-thirty minutes before emerging into his bedroom once more. He yawned as he approached his bed wearing a simple pair of black boxers. One of the packages of Oreo cookies he purchased earlier this morning had been placed on a mini-fridge where a nightstand belonged for a bit of late night snacking, and inside the fridge were bottles of fruit-flavored soft drinks. As he crawled into bed, he retrieved one of these beverages and ate a couple of cookies. Afterwards, he relaxed with a bit of soft music playing through the television, and began to drift off for the night.

[Apollymi]

About two hours after she tried going to sleep the Storm Queen was still tossing and turning, and it was beginning to annoy her. Every moment she thought she was going to fall asleep but it wasn't getting her anywhere. It was sincerely frustrating and she couldn't figure out what was wrong. That being said, not sleeping wasn't an option, she was exhausted and thus in an insomnia induced haze. "Why?" she mumbled as she crawled out of bed. In her exhausted state she could only think of one thing to do, and as such she climbed out of bed with red veined eyes and left her bedroom closing the door behind her. To sleep she was wearing just those now short pajama bottoms and tank top but that didn't matter, where was she going, one might wonder, well she was walking some four doors down and when she arrived at the door of the Sky King she intended to open it and go inside. She'd allow it to close lightly behind her, her eyes hidden behind the looseness of her bangs as she fell around her nose. And she'd soon crawl into the Sky King's bed, cuddling up beside him from the left to try and fall asleep.

[Bloodedge]

In the midst of his rather deep slumber, Shoichi felt the shifting of another body to his left. The white-haired young man reflexively turned in that very direction, and threw his right arm around his apparent sleeping partner as a result. In this moment, his face was pressed against Chiyo's head, and he began to mumble a few words. "Mmfrf... got a double parfait... for dat premium ass..."

[Apollymi]

"Sleep now... that shit... later." mumbled the Storm Queen as she settled into this feeling. It was comforting and warm and she'd find herself to be completely unconscious in a very short amount of time. This was nice and unbeknownst to her why she couldn't sleep. She settled into the Sky King pushing herself rather closely into his body so they could spoon and with his arm around her this felt most right. Chiyo didn't know that she didn't like sleeping alone, until it was an option to have someone to sleep beside. Regardless this would be how she slept until the morning and apparently without much problem.

[Bloodedge]

The sunlight leaking through the tinted balcony window/door lit the bedroom well enough for the young Sky King to awaken without suffering any level of temporary blindness, though this only served to put him in a state of grogginess that didn't want him waking. What made this even more the case, was the fact that he was apparently not alone; of course, it was very likely that he always knew this. Whenever Chiyo woke and attempted to move, Shoichi's grip would tighten, and he would greet the lass with a single statement which carried over through his dreams of the night. "Oi. It's later."

[Apollymi]

Eventually the light leaking into this room would indeed be enough to wake the Storm Queen from her restful night's sleep. Even so, she didn't seem to be happy about getting up. In fact, as her eyes opened they showed the lines of her Over-Cross Twinkle Eye. And she was now, reasoning through how she'd ended up in bed with someone else. Not that she minded this at all, she was quite used to it considering. It was only when she actually tried to move that she realized that she was still spooning with the Sky King and that he had something to say which apparently she should know about, but she couldn't remember. The tightening grip of his arm around her just made her stay in place, which was also fine since she didn't really mind being pressed up against him. "FUCK!" she muttered seeming to be trying to pull herself together and failing at it. "Fuckin' hell are you even on about right now, do you have any idea how early it fuckin' is?" she asked as she turned her head and peaked into the Sky King's face from her present position. Her question wasn't actually a question of the legitimate time, but instead in relation to how little time she'd been awake, with only a few moments of consciousness she wasn't quite ready to people yet.

[Bloodedge]

"Shhhhh~" he replied. "If you talk about it, they'll know about your naked." Whatever sense he was trying to make, obviously wasn't being made at all. This could easily be attributed to his state of half-sleep, which was seemingly devolving into actual sleep as time passed. He was making every effort to wake himself up properly, but it wasn't working in any reasonable amount of time. "Half past deez nutz... ain't early..."

[Apollymi]

"Know... about..." she was pulling herself together if only to deal with the stupidity that was Shoichi's speech. "My naked." she said. This was the strangest conversation she'd had, but she wasn't quite enough herself to point out the fallacy of this, instead she allowed her eyes to close once more and settled in a bit further. "Fuck this, there aren't enough smokes in the world." she said sleepily as she tried rubbing her eyes but failed because she didn't really want to keep them open. Beyond this the boy seemed to be referencing even more nonsensical things which made the young woman's eyes roll behind semi-closed lids. "Shhh~ Starboy, give it a minute. You're still not making sense, and it's not helping me wake up." she mumbled as she quieted a bit and pressed herself further into Shoichi seeming to settle down. The young Storm Queen apparently had no problem going back to sleep, or at the very least waiting for the grogginess of her waking to wear off before she tried moving.

[Bloodedge]

"Ya' gotta wake up... so I can put dat ass to sleep... with nakey smokin' dick." This was somehow Shoichi's response to, quite literally, everything Chiyo had said at once. It was also the last thing he actually said, as immediately afterwards, he drifted off into a deep sleep once more. It wasn't often that the Sky King slept through breakfast time, but this seemed to be one such moment that he would not wake until the afternoon, if then.

[Apollymi]

After Shoichi spoke again a small giggle escaped the Storm Queen. Only he would think such a statement was okay, and for some reason she didn't doubt that he meant the words he'd so recently spoken. Even so, about 15 minutes after she'd woken, up Chiyo opened her eyes and revealed her normal slit pupils. She knew Shoichi had gone back to sleep and rolled over to have a look at him. Thinking that he looked rather peaceful, she didn't bother trying to wake him again, and instead slipped out of bed and sneaked soundlessly from the room.

She'd soon enough make her way back to her own room and then across the hall to the bathroom for a wake up shower to get her into the right mood for a day of doing things. As she enjoyed the hot water she felt all the stings of her previous day, including a slight burning to the palms of her hands, her shoulders, and chest given she'd spent a chunk of the previous night upside-down walking on her hands. Even so, she moved right along and soon had herself dressed in some baggy cargo shorts and a small t-shirt while she stood in the mirror of her room trying to fix her hair. After her pigtails were in the right place though she remembered her earlier thought that she needed her bangs cut though she pushed that to the side in favor of perhaps a different activity. 'I should just text the Twins and see if they want to go shopping later. I'll let them pick something good that makes it so I don't have to be naked every time I activate my regalia.' she thought as she sent a text message which would relate to that. Meanwhile, she'd need to find a way to spend the time in between... 'I wonder if he's busy.' She thought as she began putting on her ATs. Before she did this though, she sent out a text message. "Hey are you busy, I have a favor to ask?" and this message was sent to the cellular device of the first generation's Flame King, known colloquially as Kurama.

[Bloodedge]

Within a matter of moments, Chiyo's cellular device would receive a return message from the phone of the Flame King. It read: "Not really. Back to work, but bored half to death with no clients today. If you're looking for any sort of treatment, feel free to stop by. I could use the busy work."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo had finished putting on her ATs when she received a return message from the Flame King. Upon reading it a wide grin spread across her face as she began rolling around her room to pick up things to add to her rather small pockets but not before she sent a return message. "Well, when you say it like that... it sounds like I'm doing you a favor instead. Be there in 5~" she mentioned. This wait time of five minutes was mostly because she wanted to have a look and see if her crystal snow man had started to melt. And with that sent she packed up her necessities and headed for the landing pad on the second floor. Once she reached the outside she'd jump into the air, her destination: The Gleaming Crest.

[Bloodedge]

Later that same day, Shoichi returned home via the same balcony entrance he had been using, leading directly into the second floor. He arrived ahead of the Storm Queen, and went about darting downstairs to raid the kitchen for food items that would then be brought to the mini-fridge in his own bedroom. As he looked into the refrigerator, it seemed as if Roze had known exactly what needed to be done upon placing groceries in the house. Everything inside, bar a few items, were various desserts and fixings, and Shoichi took basically a bit of everything with him upstairs.

[Apollymi]

Chiyo, surprisingly enough came home through the front door this time. She'd already cleared her schedule so there wasn't anything she needed to do. She figured since this idea was Shoichi's he'd take care of most if not all of the logistics and she'd instead go to her own room to plug up her phone and the like. As she did she seemed to wander up the halls with the biggest grin on her face.

[Bloodedge]

Shoichi trecked his way back to the room, carrying two bags in his teeth, and various bottles and packages in his arms. When he entered the room, he dumped all necessary items in the mini-fridge, and discarded his ATs after returning them to the Regalia's inactive state. Then came the wait. During this time, Shoichi thought to have a bit of fun. He chose to do this by waiting for the moment Chiyo entered the room, holding a bottle of chocolate syrup in his left hand, and a bottle of strawberry syrup in his right. The next time the door opened, he would give both bottles a mighty squeeze to spray the Storm Queen all over.

[Apollymi]

Upon finally making it to her bedroom the girl ditched both her cellphone and her regalia, choosing to plug up the former while setting the latter by her bedroom door per her usual need to have them on before she left the room. This of course left the small girl in nothing but her clothes and at at her normal height as she proceeded to wander from her own room towards the Sky King's assuming he'd be there since this was the place he'd chosen to come, and based on their earlier bet. Once she got to the room door however, she opened it, only to immediately find herself being accosted by the stickiness that was strawberry and chocolate syrup. The stunned look on the small girl's face was wide eyed and she opened her mouth and closed it several times before she was able to properly say anything. "Fuck! Really?!" she said though something about this was oddly familiar to the small girl, like it had happened before.

[Bloodedge]

"Yosh! Twenty points!" Shoichi exclaimed as he applied swirls and splotches of syrup to the young woman's body. He did this until the syrup bottles were empty, then immediately tossed them aside. Then, as if he were a starving animal with its prey ahead of it, Shoichi lunged forward baring his hands as claws, aiming to latch onto the Storm Queen's neck with his mouth. If he managed this, he would immediately suck away the bulk of the syrup there, then lap up the rest with his tongue.

[Apollymi]

The idea that this act that Shoichi had completed had somehow gotten him twenty points was completely foreign as an idea to Chiyo. Even so, he only stopped squirting her with syrup when the bottles were empty and then something in his countenance changed. Chiyo was used to having a predatory nature and in general being the biggest predator in any given space. That being said, the look on Shoichi's face in the present moment told her she was food and there would be nothing she could or would want to do about it. Soon enough the Sky King had latched himself onto her neck and began to suck the syrup from her very person, then he began lavishing tongue in the spot to lap up the remainder. "Ah~" she opened her mouth to speak, but nothing that could be considered words came from it, and though she probably could have backed out and tried to reason with the young man before her, she didn't really want to.

[Bloodedge]

As if to put an end to any potential squirming before it occurred, Shoichi used his previously raised hands to lower the straps of Chiyo's top and bodice around her arms, placing them right at the elbow joints so as to expose her breasts in the process. With this done, he continued to move around the young woman's neck. This caused any syrup below his location to be further diluted and drip down onto any previously unexposed flesh. This, of course, was part of the plan, which may have become obvious as Shoichi licked a line across Chiyo's collar bone on his way down toward her right nipple. Once there, he pecked it thrice and began to lick it while his right hand fondled her left breast.

[Apollymi]

And so this act continued, with the Sky King going so far as to simultaneously keep the girl from squirming and exposing her chest and neck. She was experiencing several sensations, not the least of which was the dripping of diluted syrup down her person as well as the tongue of Shoichi finding its way across her collar bone then down further to one of her now exposed nipples. Such an action would bring another small sound from the fanged girl's mouth while the fondling of her chest made heat rise to her face. Even so, she still couldn't bring herself to protest the treatment and thus her body found itself relaxing into the attention.

[Bloodedge]

Shoichi put no movements to waste this day. His left hand, which would have otherwise remained unoccupied, reached beneath Chiyo's skirt while his other efforts continued in earnest. Once it found its way, Shoichi used this hand to pull aside the lass' undergarments, only to subsequently rub against her undercarriage.

[Apollymi]

The always busy hands and mouth of the Sky King seemed to be doing quite a bit for the fanged girl. As she stood relaxing further into this man's attentions, soon enough what had been his unoccupied hand found its way beneath her skirt and after pushing aside her undergarments found its way to her nether and began rubbing against it. Such a feeling when added to the sensations already building and thus moisture built below her waistline in preparation of more to come. Those small noises still falling from the girl's mouth she approached the apex of this over stimulation of her body.

[Bloodedge]

Eventually, Shoichi found his journey taking him toward the Storm Queen's abdominal region to retrieve the rest of the syrup from her torso. Even as he did this, his right hand remained attentive to the chest. His left hand, however, would soon be doing a bit more. Once his fingers were feeling slippery enough, he began alternating between his original rubbing pattern, and sliding his fore and middle fingers into the young woman's genitalia until said fingers were curved toward himself. Each time he did this, his thumb was extended to brush against the woman's pearl for added stimulation.

[Apollymi]

Eventually Shoichi's face moved away from the Storm Queen's chest which was probably for the best considering the mess of syrup still dripping down her front. Even so, the young man's hands were found to retain a distinct bit of dexterity, soon enough she'd find this out because of what his left hand was doing below her waist line. This new sensation along with the little flicker against her sweet spot was more than enough to bring her to the first of what she assumed would be many peaks. "Shoichi!~♥" she squealed with delight. And she really couldn't help this as there wasn't a conscious effort she could have made to stop it. Still, her body would tighten around the Sky King's fingers and her legs would experience the moment of near numbness that made her knees buckle.

[Bloodedge]

During this brief moment of buckling knees, Shoichi aimed to take advantage immediately. His right hand was removed from Chiyo's chest, and subsequently used to clap into existence a wind platform strong enough to briefly toss her overhead. Shoichi then reached out to catch the woman by the hips while draping her legs over his shoulders and back. What came next simply had to be obvious by this point. The Sky King's tongue protruded from his mouth yet again, this time lashing out directly at the heart of the Storm Queen's femininity. He would proceed by alternating between three movements, consisting of a circular pattern, a line pattern, and an insertion.

[Apollymi]

"What the fuck?!" this was Chiyo's immediate response to her sudden weightlessness which tossed her up into the air. Of course, because she was up she didn't have to feel the weakness of her legs that was generally associated with knee buckling but where the need for such a maneuver had come from was completely lost upon the fanged girl. Until of course, she was caught by her hips by the Sky King who'd take the opportunity to dive face first into the center of her being, literally. His actions there after with the changes in the types of things he did with his tongue would make the small girl squirm happily, her hips wiggling in response to his attentions. As such a pattern continued the girl would find her peak around the time the Sky King's tongue invaded her inner self. "Aaaah~" the moan which would follow along with the desire to escape, though she had nowhere to go.

[Bloodedge]

This squirming, while noticed, meant nothing whatsoever to the white-haired lad. The proverbial flower before him would soon have its very nectar sucked out as it was produced with this flourish, and the motion continued well beyond such a time. This was still unsatisfactory for the Sky King. He required more from this, and so, he used his left arm to hold the woman up by the small of her back, while inserting the fingers of his right hand into her being to bolster his efforts. If one were to see his face at the time, there was a wicked sideways grin upon it to mark his following words. "Heh! This is better than the topping."

[Apollymi]

With no means of escape the Storm Queen had no choice but succumb to the sensation of being sucked dry from her center, even after her most recent flourish. The extra attention to her nether sent waves of pleasurable sensation through her entire body so intense that she could do nothing but relax again for the continued attention. It seemed however that the Sky King had other intentions for the small girl, as the positioning of his arms changed and then rather suddenly his fingers were reintroduced to the confines of her body. The stark change in sensation was more than enough to send the girl over the edge again. "Fuck!~" was all she could manage even as she looked down to see the wicked grin on the Sky King's face as he stated his appreciation of the way the small girl tasted. Such a statement immediately caused a blush to cover the girl's face, it was as if was unexpected, and it was at least in the middle of such a moment.

[Bloodedge]

Roughly two hours later, Shoichi was still at it. If there had been any argument for his actions to cease, they had been utterly ignored. He had grown tired of standing while carrying another for the moment, so he had recently placed his partner on the edge of the bed, where he then took a knee while remaining buried in her groin. His tongue went to work while his lips kept contact with the Storm Queen's nether region, and he had even started to hum for the sake of creating vibrations.

[Apollymi]

Two hours had passed and the Sky King was still buried face first between the legs of the Storm Queen. Though at some point he'd grown tired of holding her up and moved her to the edge of the bed, he'd still not let go of this particular fixation. No, now he'd taken a knee and as Chiyo propped herself up on her elbows to look down her body she felt the rest of his motions below her waistline. The hum against her nether regions as well as the boy's tongue did their part to continue feeding the pleasant sensations she'd come to expect, and she was well on her way to another of dozens of flourishes that had populated the last couple of hours. "Aaah!~ Shoichi please~" she moaned as she tried to slide her hips away from Shoichi's face. How much of this was she expected to endure? Every thing was becoming overwhelming and with each passing flourish the girl was reaching a state of hypersensitivity, where every stroke, touch, and kiss was becoming some vindictive combination of torture and pleasure. It was simultaneously something she enjoyed immensely and something she felt she should get away from, even as moisture practically flowed between her legs feeding the ease at which these activities could be completed.

[Bloodedge]

"Eh?" was Shoichi's only reply. When this was voiced, though, he made no effort whatsoever to cease his actions. In fact, it was in that precise moment that he moved on to performing the gentlest of bites while grabbing the raven-haired lass by the hips. "Please what?" he asked as if he had no clue what she spoke of. Of course, he did, but he didn't much care either. This was precisely the reaction he had been striving for all along. With words no longer occupying his mouth, he closed his lips around the young woman's sweet spot, and inhaled through his mouth while his tongue thrashed from one end to another repeatedly.

[Apollymi]

Chiyo's potential escape was thwarted as Shoichi grabbed hold of her hips and performed the gentlest of bites which sent her spiraling over the edge of yet another peak the sensation of it causing more moisture to leak from the center of her being. This was becoming the most delicate of tortures and the Sky King was seemingly unaware of what he was doing. His questioning of the start of her statement made the small girl scoff as she scrambled to put together sentences which would make sense in the face of the pleasure she was being offered at present. "I can't take..." her sentence stopped as a new motion was taken on by the white haired young man below her waistline. The sensation of her most precious spot being closed in on by the boy's lips while he simultaneously thrashed his tongue about was more than the small girl could take. It caused the most monstrous peak she'd experienced so far and made her try to escape him. "OH MY GOD, SHOICHI!~" she nearly screamed, her next breath when she could take it would be a single pleading request. "Please, fuck me!~ I can't take this anymore." this was an oddly direct sentence from the small girl, though she was known to be impossibly direct when she wanted to be, and this was one such situation.

[Bloodedge]

Soon enough, the fanged lass managed to escape Shoichi's grasp. This led to an exhale from the white-haired man as he stood, licking his lips and wiping his chin with a thumb. "Booo~" he chanted while his left hand met his own hip for once. "Whaddaya mean ya' can't take it? I was just startin' to wet my whistle." As these words were spoken, a grin of pure deviousness crossed the Sky King's face. He knew all along what he had been building up to, though he expected this to have lasted a bit longer. These were words he'd never heard from the woman before him, and ones he likely never expected to hear. Surely enough, this meant he could chalk himself up a win on one front. However, he still had a very long way to go here.

[Apollymi]

Finally managing to escape the Sky King's grasp, Chiyo finally had the moment she needed to catch her breath, though she was very much still a ball of writhing sensation. During this time her eyes flickered over Shoichi and she got to watch as the man licked his lips and apparently complained about her ending this particular leg of their session. The deviousness of his grin let her know he knew exactly what she meant and that it'd likely been his aim the entire time. Shoichi was rather big on getting the small young woman to utter sentences of a sexual nature which she'd never spoken before, and this was one such situation. "Fuck! Talking like you're innocent while giving me that smug ass look." she mentioned as she propped herself up on her elbows and she began eyeing the Sky King from head to toe. "Asking me a question like that when you know exactly what I mean, I already said. Fuck me." she said but there was nothing in her eyes but the desire to have her request fulfilled. The Sky King was occupying her mind and she was actually fond of the deviance seen presently in his face. And in this moment she wanted nothing more than to go with the Sky King until they couldn't anymore, it seemed like it would be fun and the twitching within her body would only be quelled by what the Sky King held between his legs.

[Bloodedge]

"Yeah yeah, I hear ya'. It's about time to get rid of all this anyway," Shoichi stated as he began walking around the bed. He moved while pulling his shirt overhead, and when that was done, he stopped to remove his pants as well. Once all articles had been removed from his person, he turned around again. "Alright. How first?"

[Apollymi]

"Uh-huh." the girl said watching as the Sky King rid himself of his clothing as he moved around the bed. The Storm Queen would do the same, finally scooting back towards the edge of the bed and slipping out of her clothes with extreme proficiency. She would have been surprised by the ease at which she could shed so many layers but she supposed she'd asked for exactly that ability so she couldn't well be shocked by it. Moving right along the now naked girl was looking to the Sky King since he'd asked her how first realizing this was being left up to her this time. She thought about it for a few seconds, and after a moment she situated herself with her rear facing the Sky King and her back arched on all fours, close enough for the the Sky King to decide if he wanted to stand or kneel on the bed. Unlike most times where she wanted to be on top, right at the moment she wanted to feel more depth and this would be successful in giving her that. "Come on then." she said looking back at the young man and giving the most devious of smiles.

[Bloodedge]

Shoichi waited patiently while his partner assumed the position of her choice. Something told him this would be what she decided on in the end, but when he got an eyeful of the lass from behind, there were surely no complaints coming from his end. He did, however, have a few adjustments to make. "Hai hai. Just... work with me for a second," he said as he made his approach. First, he leaned forward enough to touch each of Chiyo's inner thighs with intentions of separating them further, leading to an eventual lowering of her bottom half until her pelvis nearly reached the bed itself. Once that was done, he would immediately grab onto both of Chiyo's pigtails with his right hand, pull on them while pressing down on her lower back with his left hand, and then swiftly insert himself fully into her person with a mighty opening thrust. "There. That's better~♥"

[Apollymi]

At the clause that she should work with him for a second, Chiyo was a bit confused. But it seemed that the Sky King wished to make a few minor alterations to the position she'd chosen, and given the fun of this situation, she would launch nary a complaint. Instead she simply allowed her legs to be nudged a bit further apart and felt very strange as her pelvis became so close to the mattress. Beyond this the Sky King took hold of both her pigtails which was a rather odd thing and she was almost ready to question this, when he rather suddenly slid himself home within her person. The swift entry, combined with the angle of her lower half provided the girl with an instantaneous release which would be marked by the flow of fluids from her person. "Holy fuck!" she said at the pinnacle of this stroke her body tightening around the Sky King, "That's amazing!~♥"

[Bloodedge]

"Figured you'd like that. But, by all means, don't let that keep you from mentioning how awesome I am~" he said as his forward motion reached its absolute limit. From there, he chose not to begin thrusting, but to instead perform an interesting rolling maneuver as if his hips were attached to a forward axis of some sort. This would have the Sky King's manhood perform the polar opposite motion within Chiyo's body to what his fingers had done before, and after a few turns of this motion, he would add a horizontal rotation into the mix as well.

[Apollymi]

The Sky King apparently had figured the girl would like the alterations he'd made to her chosen position. Before this point, Chiyo hadn't really noticed the small changes the young man made. If she hadn't been so far invested in the activity she might have questioned how or why he was doing this, but presently it was working in her favor so she filed it away to question later. Now, there was something different afoot, as Shoichi began rotating his hips without removing himself from the fanged lass. This motion was novel and seemed to touch the small girl in a way she hadn't been touched before. This motion combined with the eventual additional rotation would be more than enough to send the girl over the edge again. "Ah!~"

[Bloodedge]

This motion seemed to have a very high payoff rate, judging by the speed at which it brought about the Storm Queen's next flourish. As such, Shoichi maintained his present stirring maneuver, but as he wasn't much one for conventional continuity, so he decided to splash in a full retraction and thrust of himself after every few cycles. Eventually, he raised his right leg until his foot was atop the bed, with his leg overlapping Chiyo's on the same side. This allowed him just a bit more potential depth than he had initially, and a slightly different angle as well. The other thing this did was limit his movements, but by the time he had made this adjustment, he was ready and willing to begin the series of continuous lunging thrusts. All the while, his right hand tugged on the pigtails it held.

[Apollymi]

It seemed that Chiyo would be in for this stirring of the Sky King's for a while as it seemed to provide her with a more than adequate amount of satisfaction. But this wasn't all, eventually there were thrusts added into the mix with the stirring motions which changed the speed slightly and gave her a new pattern to work with. Another flourish would eventually follow simply by virtue of this all while a grin most wicked spread across the Storm Queen's face. "Fuck, that's the best~" she chimed only to eventually have the Sky King change his motion and depth by virtue of the placement of one of his legs and his hip. Such a change would cause an increased depth which was just the sort of thing that Chiyo had been thinking of when she'd chosen this position, as such she'd eventually fall to this sensation with a gentle moan, the pulling of her pigtails only adding to the sensation. Full lunging thrusts were now being made and the small girl's hips were moving back to meet them only increasing the depth which they were making. This was an amazing sensation which was right at the edge of painful, but it seemed the fanged girl liked a bit of roughness. "Shoichi!♥~ you're amazing~" she squealed as she reached yet another finish. She really couldn't help it, such a feeling was truly amazing for her and the man who provided her this deserved the praise.

[Bloodedge]

A wicked grin suddenly passed the Sky King's face. He had originally intended to make it so only his songs would be sung, so to speak, but in this particular moment, he was simply pleased to see that he was delivering some level of satisfaction. This was such a moment that he felt it necessary to continue things as they were at the time, and so, the lunging persisted. On the other hand, though, he couldn't be expected to keep the same pace; not at all. He slowed himself by an incredible margin, relaxing his groin as he gradually drew back as far as possible without exit, and flexing it over time for the duration of a creeping forward push.

[Apollymi]

The work of the Sky King was surely exactly what the Storm Queen wanted, but soon enough, there was a change of pace which was suddenly very intense. Every lunge had been relatively fast paced before hand, now they were excruciatingly slow. Each motion to push forward was a new kind of torture for the pig tailed lass and each pull back just as slow without actually leaving her body. It drew out her breath and forced her to clinch her body even tighter as a reflex to such tender movements. "Fuuuck~ Shoichi, you're killing mee~" the girl moaned reflexively mimicking the slowness of the strokes she couldn't force her hips to meet. This was very different for the fanged girl, but she couldn't lie and say she wasn't enjoying it, and it was building to another flourish for her.

[Bloodedge]

"Mhm. Kinda the point. If we've got a whole week, I'm gonna enjoy the fuck out of it," he replied with nonchalance, and no hindrance to his words due to the slow pace he kept up. At long last, he removed his left hand from Chiyo's lower back, placing it instead on her hip with a firm grasp. Why he did this was simple. It was his intention to move even slower henceforth, while abandoning the relaxation he previously maintained during withdrawals. "Besides... If ya' don't get the shaky leg, it ain't worth it," he said while performing a single lunge at such a pace that it would take an entire ten seconds or so until he could no longer move forward.

[Apollymi]

Shoichi soon enough explained his methods to the fanged girl he was practically torturing and she was surprised by his words. For a moment her eyes widened and it had nothing to do with the physical activity they were currently engaged in, right at the moment, she was simply happy that the Sky King intended to enjoy himself properly for the duration of the fun they were having. Beyond that though there was a slight shift, a change in the placement of Shoichi's hand and then his subsequent slowing which was something else entirely. Chiyo didn't know a single stroke could take so long, the pulse of this single entry felt like an eternity. "Aaaah~" she managed by the time he finally had nowhere else to go within her, she'd reached a new peak her entire body pulsing with the sensation of. "Shaaky leg?" this was just a question, such a thing was unheard of and she didn't have a reference within her head for that information.

[Bloodedge]

"You'll see," was all he said. Even though he could have explained this phenomenon in no time at all, Shoichi was resolved to make it happen, and thus, he would let his actions speak. Following his most recent thrust, he lowered his right leg to the floor and took hold of Chiyo's legs from underneath with his arms. His hands would then grab onto her torso as he leaned back enough to raise her from the bed and simultaneously remove the majority of his manhood in the process. The fanged girl would find herself vertical at this time, but this would not be the position Shoichi was going for... or at least, not exactly. He spun around 180 degrees, dropping himself into a seated position at the edge of the bed. In doing so, he loosened his hold on the Storm Queen just enough to have her come crashing down onto his pelvis. This was his choice. He fully intended to use his arms for the next phase by continuously lifting his partner and dropping her back onto his member.

[Apollymi]

Shoichi's answer to the question posed by the Storm Queen, was a both a tiny bit frightening and completely exciting. This was soon forgotten though in the face of a change in position. In fact, Chiyo wasn't sure exactly what the Sky King was going for as she was put into the vertical position but then when he turned himself around and took a seat she was stunned as he allowed her tiny self to practically fall upon his manhood. The subsequent action would be him lifting and lowering the small girl repeated much to her general pleasure. "Sugei!~" this was different and very pleasurable, as it was just a bit rougher than one would normally expect and thus to Chiyo's tastes.

[Bloodedge]

Shoichi's movements remained the same; minute after minute he was lifting the Storm Queen, then releasing. He had fallen into the pattern of raising her almost to the point of pulling out, but not quite. Roughly twenty minutes into this, something changed. He raised the lass and released as per normal, but the moment he let go of her legs, he dropped himself until his back hit the mattress, and thrust his pelvis upward with maximum force. This led directly into a new pattern, in which Shoichi's upward thrusts would bounce the young woman along his appendage. Shoichi had never tested this method, and had no idea how long he would be able to manage it. For now, though, he planned on doing so for as long as his physique allowed.

[Apollymi]

This lifting and dropping continued for several minutes and the pattern established by it had the small girl swooning. And though she'd reached a flourish or two over the course of this particular positioning, it seemed something was apt to change. The final time the Sky King lifted the small girl he fell back after releasing her, this would allow him the freedom to force his pelvis up to meet her falling body. Such a thing would cause the young man to reach the end of her with this stroke and the subsequent back stroke would leave the girl bouncing around with Shoichi in control from below. The initial surprise of the white haired man finding the end of her in such a way caused the girl's peak which was forceful. "Fuuuuck!~ Shoichi!~" she moaned but she'd be allowed no reprieve as the Sky King simply kept bouncing the small girl around on his manhood through no work of her own. Such a thing would likely give him an interesting view of her backside while she struggled to pull herself together her entire body going numb from the forcefulness of her most recent finish.

[Bloodedge]

It seemed this was due to go on for quite a while. Shoichi was able to keep up this pattern for approximately 45 minutes, thanks in part to a small amount of wind manipulation beneath his own body. Of course, he would never admit to utilizing this loophole. Nevertheless, he eventually grew weary of this, and became unable to rise again after one final thrust. "Phew! I'm outta juice. Your turn."

[Apollymi]

This phase went on for quite a while, and it was much to the young Storm Queen's liking. If she noticed the minor use of wind manipulation she either didn't care or simply thought it an addition to the situation. Regardless, it would seem that after about 45 minutes of this pelvis bouncing the Sky King had tired himself out, such would cause a wicked grin to cross the girl's face. Since she was already on top she'd lift herself just a bit and rotate until she was facing the Sky King. Once she was like this she'd simply allow herself to slide back down into position her thighs close to either side of his body. Chiyo in general enjoyed positions of power, and the previous actions of Shoichi had stripped her of this even though she'd been on top at the time. As such she was taking it back with slow rolling motions of her hips while her left hand met the center of the Sky King's chest. For her, such a thing was the happiness of a full feeling while grinding added a bit of stimulation. For the Sky King below there was the ever so random lift of her hips to provide the sensation of entering and exiting her nether without him having to work for it. And such would be her desired pattern as she leaned in to kiss this young man.

[Bloodedge]

Shoichi's breathing had become staggered by the time he gave up on the previous position. As such, he relaxed fully into the mattress below to regain his composure while Chiyo took control. For a few moments, his eyes were closed. This amount of time was all it took for Shoichi to recover a voluminous amount of stamina, but he was enjoying his partner's turn enough that he was content to continue relaxing. That is, until he felt the young woman leaning forward above him. He opened his eyes only to find that her face was against his own, and his right hand rose to the side of her neck as he leaned upward to reciprocate the kiss Chiyo had initiated.

[Apollymi]

Chiyo might have found it strange that Shoichi was breathing staggered for a few moments before it returned to normal, but she figured now wasn't the time to question it. As the slow grinding rotation of her hips continued she soon found that when she leaned forward to kiss the Sky King, he met her in this venture. Still, she couldn't help herself, and seemed to relax more into her own work when his hand met the side of her neck, she'd move on to slipping her tongue into his mouth. The motions of this would be in the exact opposite rotation as her hips for some reason or another and the speed of her movements would increase slightly. This would be accidental as the girl felt herself nearing a peak which she'd reach being noted by the tightening of her nether. Subsequently she'd moan her appreciation into the mouth of the Sky King while she continued moving her hips as if she was chasing the sensation, still rolling her tongue around in his mouth seeming to enjoy this activity.

[Bloodedge]

Though Shoichi's eyes had opened to see Chiyo's approach, they gradually came to a close once more as he reclined through this moment of subtle tenderness. Soon enough, the tongues of the two adolescents were sharing as intimate a dance with one another as the pair themselves were. This was an exchange left unhindered even by the clashing moans that traversed the shared space of two mouths, all occurring as the young male felt the compressing crevice encompassing his manhood.

[Apollymi]

It seemed that Shoichi was fine with the progress they were making, and Chiyo herself noticed the sounds floating into her own mouth as the pair of them kissed while she enjoyed the ride being provided by the young man beneath her. Having actually reached a flourish and not wanting to break the tenderness of the moment the girl would continued to kiss him at least a few minutes more. Her body eventually folding down so she could kiss him without strain, almost lying atop the young man with her back slightly arched as her hips shifted into gentle up and down motions as she enjoyed this feeling of closeness which was very different from anything she'd felt before this point. And given the constant movement of her hips another flourish would be on the horizon for the tiny girl.

[Bloodedge]

Shoichi's formerly unoccupied left arm would soon be found closing in around the Storm Queen's lower back as she lowered her torso onto him. Though he thought to relax, his body eventually began acting of its own volition, with his hips beginning to thrust in opposition to Chiyo's own movements. All the while, his right hand moved slightly until his fingers were caught up in the hair to the left side of her head. He was content to remain in this state until such a time as Chiyo decided she'd had enough.

[Apollymi]

The Storm Queen for the most part seemed to be enjoying herself, this only increased as Shoichi added his own efforts into the mix. The hand at the side of her head tangled into her hair, the arm around her waist and the boy's new found thrusting pattern all seemed to please the girl beyond words. As the movements of her hips began to work a bit faster, she continue to kiss this young man right up until she found the next flourish which was oddly strong given her current placement and seemed to cause her body to freeze and tighten right after sinking down into the boy's lap to meet one of his thrusts. The moan that would escape the girl would be enough for her to finally separate her face from the Sky King's and after a few moments she caught her breath enough to speak, though the entirety of her body was tingling with sensation. "Aaaah!~ I could do this all day~" she chimed as she sat up just enough to see Shoichi's face and lay a gentle peck on his lips. "But, it's your turn~" she chimed her sense of fairness more than enough to let this young man decide on their positioning as she was being provided a steady stream of pleasure without complaint.

[Bloodedge]

When the pair's lips finally separated, Chiyo chose to pass turn to Shoichi again. "Hai desu," he said while lowering his right elbow onto the mattress. He used this as leverage while rolling over, aiming to place the Storm Queen beneath himself as he did so. Once his right hand reached the bed, he used his left arm to raise Chiyo's right leg while reinserting himself into her person. This was how he would continue, and it was likely to be the final position for this particular round.

[Apollymi]

A grin crossed the fanged girl's face as Shoichi planted his arm and rotated the pair of them. She found the change in position to be interesting enough. Still she soon found one leg being lifted she was soon practically doing a split while the Sky King made his way into her person once more. Chiyo's eyes widened as a moan escaped her person, it was pleasantly deep and caused an immediate tightening of her nether, which wasn't quite a flourish but more or less the promise of one, for the tiny girl.

[Bloodedge]

The passage of time came with devotion to this position. Eventually, Shoichi had placed the young woman's left leg in a manner mimicking the other. He held both of them in place with his arms, which he also used to keep himself elevated as he thrust with all he had to offer. Quite a few hours had passed by now, and Shoichi was finally approaching the end of the line... at least, for the first time in this encounter.

[Apollymi]

As they stayed devoted to this particular activity, Shoichi raised the small girl's other leg. This would cause a deepening in the strokes the fanged girl felt. Her immediate reaction to this was a moan which was stifled just a bit by the the girl biting down on her left index finger which was curled over her lower lip. "Aaaah!~" her eyes were rolling up in her head and soon the deepening efforts of the Sky King would be enough to roll her over the edge of an amazing finish. "SHOICHI!~♥"

[Bloodedge]

The flourish achieved by the lass beneath him would not be the only occurrence in this moment. Shoichi, as well, could no longer restrain himself. With one final, mighty thrust, he clenched, feeling as if he were about to explode just then. Of course, he couldn't exactly do that, so he pulled himself back in the next second. This would result in his finish occurring the moment of his pulling out, but he made the assumption that his partner would prefer getting his load on her, rather than in her. "Shit! Water break and a quick clean-up?" he inquired, immediately reaching toward the mini-fridge. "Y'know, unless you're drinking that. Hey, I don't judge," he added with a chortle.

[Apollymi]

Chiyo was delighted at her last flourish which seemed to be washing over her in waves. Her recovery from this would take a few seconds, and she also knew that Shoichi had managed a flourish of his own in this time, if not from the motion then from seeing it happen before her very eyes. Of course, she wasn't upset by this at all, nor the choice to spill it across her stomach instead of inside her, lest she be forced into motherhood really close after her 18th birthday. Still something about this situation seemed utterly familiar but she was satisfied by it so she didn't say anything immediately. At the announcement of a quick clean up and a water break the girl simply nodded her head, the addition of a rather cheeky comment by the Sky King though made her cut her eyes in his direction. "Fuck! Ya' know what, Imma let you have that cheeky ass commentary 'cause I can't move just now." Chiyo said seeming to have caught her breath already. "But your aim is a bit off if ya' wanted me to try it~" she chimed seeming to find no fault in the statement. "Toss me one too, please~" she said of whatever drink the Sky King planned to get for himself while she reached for a roll of paper towels at the beside to rid herself of the evidence of the Sky King's most recent flourish.

[Bloodedge]

As he looked into the mini-fridge for the selection he had all but forgotten by now, a statement met his ear that made the young man raise a brow. "That's... uhh... I don't know how I should take that. I thought about it, but I didn't feel like getting my dick bit off," he stated. Though he'd called for a water break, what Shoichi retrieved in a set was anything but water. "Yo, fuck that. Get juice boxed!" With that said, he tossed Chiyo one of two fruit punch juice boxes, taking up his own afterward to insert the attached straw. As he sipped it, he began walking toward the bathroom. "Hold up. Gotta wash my dick."

[Apollymi]

The young Storm Queen cut her eyes in the Sky King's direction as he stated he wasn't sure how to take her most recent teasing statement. Even going so far as to say that he didn't want her biting into his junk. This made her giggle just a bit because she imagined such a threat was probably always looming in the back of the Sky King's mind. "Fuck! The look on your face right now is totally priceless~" she said. "Also for the record, I've never actually bitten anyone with my actual mouth." she said just putting that statement out there. A second later she was all cleaned up and tossing the remnants into the trash only to turn around to catch a juice box which made a wide grin come to her face. "Sugei! I haven't had one of these in ages~" she said as she sat happily cross legged in the bed slightly to the left, inserting a straw into her own juice box and sipping on its magnificent fluid before the Sky King ran off to apparently clean himself up a bit. She'd simply nod to this information as she continued about her re-hydrating process happily.

[Bloodedge]

"... Huh. Well, that's a fun little factoid," he said as he set foot in the bathroom. Only a minute or so later, he stepped out and tossed his emptied juice box toward the trash while clapping the fingers of his throwing arm against his palm. As it flew through the air, the juice box was crushed down to the size of a marble in an instant, halfway along its smooth coast into the receptacle. "That hit the spot," he said as his eyes wandered toward the balcony door. As his next words were spoken, his feet carried him toward the balcony. "Sun's down now. Nothing lookin' around but the birds, y'know?"

[Apollymi]

"Hai!~" Chiyo mentioned of the fact she'd never bitten anyone. This was a rather interesting thing to consider right at the moment, because she semi-constantly threatened to bite people, but she never meant that in a physical way. It was in general a riding based threat, a play on words about the fangs she created while moving and had nothing at all to do with actual biting. But, at the same time she could see where the confusion could come from what with the actual pronounced canines which were part of her mouth. Moving right along though, Shoichi was soon leaving the bathroom, and when he did he deposited his emptied juice box in the trash in a most extravagant manner. "Fucking show off." she muttered with a roll of her eye, though if asked she'd admit it had been pretty cool. And beyond this he seemed to be hinting that he'd like to go outside which made the girl's eyes shift across the room towards him. "Huh..." thinking about it, she'd never done the outdoors open air thing, and it seemed like it would be fun... as such she removed herself from the bed in a few swift movements while she finished off her juice box and she tossed it in the trash while she went to join him. "Sounds like fun!~" and just like that the small girl was going to the balcony as if it was the most normal thing in the world.

[Bloodedge]

"Jealous much?" was his retort as he slid open the balcony door. After stepping outside, he deeply inhaled the chilled atmosphere of the city, though he felt the snow itself was a bit extreme. As such, he clapped to have the wind blow it all away, clearing part of the roof as well. "So... I didn't think this part all the way through. But, that doesn't matter... it's your turn anyway, right?"

[Apollymi]

"Jealous, me? No... of course not." the girl said quite sarcastically. Though it wasn't that she was jealous so much as she didn't like seeing someone do something she couldn't do, this was simply the girl's nature. She wanted to do everything and found it annoying when there were things on the list she couldn't do, moving right along though the door to the balcony was opened and soon enough the Sky King was stepping out onto it, and dispersing the snow there and on the roof for reasons unknown to the girl. As he went on to state, that he didn't know what he wanted to do out here, but she was up next anyways a small smile came to her face. Her eyes would then flicker towards the balcony then at the Sky King as she seemed to be mulling over an idea, this would last approximately three seconds before she placed herself for her own pleasure sitting atop the banister of the balcony back to the open air legs spread slightly apart as she motioned for Shoichi to join her. By her own approximation the size difference of the banister and the height of her bottom would be perfect for the alignment of their persons and would still allow her the freedom of having her feet off the ground and the cold breeze against her back. This would be fun for her and likely for the Sky King as well, as her next and most obvious aggressive move would be to press her lips into his while slipping her tongue into his mouth.

[Bloodedge]

Shoichi was quite curious to see what the fanged lass would choose. When her decision was made, he looked onward with a raised brow and much curiosity in his mind. "Ano... Adventurous is one thing, but that's just downright... exciting," he said as he approached. His arms wrapped around the young woman's lower torso as he slid betwixt her legs and met her rather forceful kiss. Given the very delicate position Chiyo had suggested, when he started moving, he did so at a very careful pace. Knowing Shoichi, this was sure to be short-lived, but he needed to... test the waters, so to speak.

[Apollymi]

What Chiyo had chosen for the opening position of their most recent session was likely to be thought of as dangerous to most, but somewhere deep inside she knew Shoichi would agree to it without any fuss. In fact, his words that it was 'exciting' made her chuckle just a little before the kiss she started with him, which he met without any difficulty. As this happened he soon slid home between her legs apparently being rather careful about it, with his arms wrapped around the lower part of her body she gave one arm to the back of his neck while using her dominate one to hang on to the banister all while her legs lifted slightly to wrap around the Sky King's waist. Once all this had occurred she finally allowed their lips to part, but not before pecking Shoichi again. "Hai, I knew you'd agree~" she said of her choice, seeming to start enjoying the sensation already moisture leaking from between her thighs as if it had never stopped in the first place.

[Bloodedge]

"I bet you did," he replied with a smirk. As his movements steadied, Shoichi kissed the Storm Queen's lips once more, though he didn't linger. He nigh immediately shifted to the young woman's nape, which he brushed his tongue against while finding the quicker pace he'd been seeking through this spur of the moment position.

[Apollymi]

The Storm Queen may have had something cheeky to say, but soon enough the Sky King was kissing her once more so her fleeting thoughts quieted. But beyond this point it seemed that the young man found his rhythm and began to move a bit faster, and while this happened the young man's tongue brushed against her neck. This action would solicit a small sound from the young woman's mouth as the proper pacing seemed to push her towards her first peak of this encounter. "Ah~ Shoichi!!" the girl chimed as she did so her nether tightening around this young man.

[Bloodedge]

Some time later, Shoichi held the young woman by the back with his left arm, and held onto her left leg with his right as he plunged himself into her. Still upon the banister, he raised her leg over his shoulder and forced his own body into a slithering motion to thrust. He found a rhythm that was nigh unbreakable, and kept the pace for quite some time to come.

[Apollymi]

As time progressed Chiyo found herself to be in a slightly altered position with the Sky King's left arm holding her back while he positioned her left leg over his shoulder. Such a thing along with the slithering motion of Shoichi's manhood seemed to be a new kind of fun. At some point during this exchange Chiyo had simply let go of the banister and was now officially just dangling off the edge, but this seemed to only make the experience better for the young woman. "Fuck! This is amazing!~" she mentioned of her enjoyment of this particular moment as she worked her way towards one of numerous flourishes. Of course, she couldn't forget to praise Shoichi in this moment so she leaned up and pecked his lips. "And so are you~"

[Bloodedge]

"Oi. Don't pass all the credit, yeah?" Shoichi said with a smirk. "I work on motivation." With that said, he continued his efforts. The passage of time would eventually lead to the rising sun beginning to warm Shoichi's back. The banister was where he held on to as he kept himself hanging off the balcony, holding Chiyo between the banister and himself and plunging himself into her depths with the added force of pulling himself forward with his arms.

[Apollymi]

"Fuck! Do ya' really now?~ Fine, be that way." she mentioned before they would continue. Over time a shift in position would happen the girl would find herself being supported by the Sky King's effort alone as the sun rose over the pair of them, and he dangled outside the banister instead. A grin crossed the girl's face as a major flourish approached her due to the vigor being applied by their current positioning. "Holy fuck!!~" she chimed as her nether tightened for the most massive flourish as her own skin was warmed by the sun. She couldn't help but notice they probably shouldn't still be out here, but she couldn't bring herself to care as much about it, considering that she was current experiencing a most massive bit of pleasure.

[Bloodedge]

As he hung from the balcony, Shoichi once again felt arousal's infamous tingle encompass him with nigh unbearable sensation. When he felt this, a wide grin passed his face and he plunged himself as deeply as possible once more. "Holy fuck is right. I could fall for this kind of thing easy. As a matter of fact..." As he retracted his manhood to a point near its tip, Shoichi loosened his grasp on the balcony until gravity took hold of him and pulled him down from the third floor of the building. He grabbed onto the Storm Queen as he fell to bring her down with him, and used his free hand to manipulate the wind enough to guide them toward the heated pool. He would land on the waters of said pool, back first, causing his own body to be halted briefly enough to simulate an additional thrust into Chiyo's undercarriage before sinking as nature dictated.

[Apollymi]

Chiyo could never really stop herself from experiencing any sort of pleasure, specifically when it was so exciting. A final deep plunge was enough to prolong the sensation of her most massive feeling. As the Sky King mentioned he could fall for this sort of thing, she seemed to be a bit confused, until of course, he released his hold on the balcony and fell towards the ground while pulling the small girl along with him. "Fuck!~" she mentioned as the final thrust and fall into heated pool below. Would cause a wave of pleasure throughout her person as the Sky King sank further into the water and she did as well. "You're trying to fucking kill me." she mentioned as she tried to recover.

[Bloodedge]

Whatever response Shoichi had was quickly lost by the water under which he became submerged. Either way, with his companion sinking into the pool along with him, he soon curved his spine until he was able to bring their lips together once more. This was to be a brief encounter, as he had a certain goal in mind. He'd be going for another flourish from the young woman while underwater, and he aimed to do so by first removing himself from her, then swimming around to her rear for reentry. Grabbing on from behind, he began thrusting with all the power his body afforded him in water. He certainly didn't intend to stop until he received some sort of sign related to a finish, or the impending drowning of Chiyo or himself.

[Apollymi]

Alas, there would be no serious recovery. Instead, the fanged girl and her white haired companion sank even further into the pool, and he proceeded to kiss her, giving the slight idea that the young man intended for their activities to continue beneath the water. The swiftness of their kiss would have normally caused childish pouting from the small girl, but she could understand the urgency of this situation. As such she was less than surprised when the Sky King removed himself from her person and swam around back of her, there was then the rather sudden and forceful re-entry into her person which would be met by a backward push of the lass' hips. This action would continue from the girl for a couple of minutes, until she felt the amazing feeling which was her own release. This was able to happen because of the added danger and excitability of this situation and would be marked by the tightening of her nether and the escape of a single breath from the girl's mouth, though she wasn't drowning at all.

[Bloodedge]

The moment he saw the bubbles escape Chiyo's mouth, he received all the confirmation he needed that what he felt was what he'd been seeking. As such, he was able to move on, traveling toward the water's surface. Well into the second day of this interaction, Shoichi was flopping onto one of the lawn chairs by the poolside, seeming to be winded once more. "Whew! I got a bit more for this one in me. Let's go."

[Apollymi]

And such an activity would become rather common as the pair of them continued into the next day. "Fuck! You're trying to kill me I'm sure of it." she mentioned as she moved to settle herself into his lap backwards, that being said she had the biggest grin on her face. Given the incline of the lawn chair it would be perfect for a rolling ride of the Sky King while he got a nice look at her backside. She'd subsequently sink into his lap and begin slowly raising and lowering herself in his lap, taking special care to lean forward just a bit while arching her own back, to enjoy the exact entry and exit she liked while taking the most mild of paces. Her pace would be painstakingly steady until she reached her next flourish however long that took or until the Sky King declared he wanted to change, whichever happened first.

[Bloodedge]

In spite of the fanged lass' words, she rather quickly mounted him once he took his place on the chair. While this was as enjoyable as anything that had been tried over the past day or so, Shoichi felt that a spark of jest would be well-placed in this precise moment. "Be as sure as you wanna be about whatever. I mean, we could always stop if you're not feelin' it," was the comment made by the young man as he rested his head in his hands and watched the show he was getting for free during this particular position.

[Apollymi]

"Fuck!" this was a single word which escaped the Storm Queen as she continued her backward ride on the Sky King's manhood. His rather cheeky commentary made the girl turn to look at him over her shoulder, but she didn't stop moving. "Nah, fuck all that." she said with a bit of happiness as she neared a peak. "As if, I wanna fuckin' stop..." the girl may have had something else to say, but her steady paced backward ride was pushing her over the edge, and the coming flourish robbed her of the will to be completely contrary to the Sky King at present. She felt tingles all through her person as she sank completely into the young man's lap. "Fuck!~" she managed as her hips shook just a bit.

[Bloodedge]

"Atta girl," he replied while sitting up until his torso paralleled Chiyo's. "Hope you enjoy yourself, then. I plan to."

The meaning of Shoichi's words would become obvious over the course of the next day. To serve as example, the eventual return to the bedroom at the end of this day was a bit of a challenge Shoichi had given himself. He held the Storm Queen by the legs, facing her away from himself while lunging into her with her feet in the air, but this was all done while he took steps into the room and kicked the door closed behind him.

[Apollymi]

"Hai!~" the girl managed, but time would continue on. It seemed over the course of the next day, they'd continue to indulge themselves, and at the point where they were presently she was being carried into the bedroom facing away from the Sky King while he plunged into her person. "Holy fuck!" the girl mentioned as Shoichi kicked the bedroom door closed behind them, she couldn't help but be amused by her current position, she seemed to be distinctly enjoying herself and would soon enough reach a peak from this new position. "Aaaah!~"

[Bloodedge]

The moment after this peak was achieved, Shoichi removed the lass from his groin and tossed her toward the bed. He then hopped onto the mattress after her, aiming to tackle her with his embrace and insert himself once more into her nether while they faced each other. He had recently reached another peak of his own and bounced back from it, but now he was wondering exactly how much time had passed. So, after pressing his lips against those of his partner, he voiced a query. "Lost track. How far in are we?"

[Apollymi]

Soon after her flourish the small girl was removed from the body of the Sky King and tossed onto the bed which would elicit a giggle from her as he soon joined her afterwards, embracing her face to face and kissing her so they could keep going. This was an interesting thing to have happen, but at this point she was simply enjoying herself so she didn't much care about what they were doing, how much or how often. But her own obsession with numbers and things meant she had the information the Sky King was looking for when he pulled away to ask her a question. "Ah!~ Ever consider I might not know?" she joked before giving the numbers all while tracing lines along the Sky King's collar bones with her tongue. "342 times for me, 28 times for you, and approximately 75 hours in... or a little more than three days." she said giving all the numbers that related to their current interaction that she'd apparently been keeping track of despite being lost in the pure excitement and pleasure of these moments.

[Bloodedge]

"Never crossed my mind," he said, only to immediately receive the answer to the question he'd asked, both in time and in number of flourishes. "Those are some pretty big numbers. Feels like we just started." As he spoke, Shoichi shifted his limbs around until he was cradling the woman's head in his arm, holding onto her torso with the other, and overlapping their legs without so much as removing himself from her interior. His thrusts had become more gentle stroking maneuvers at this point, but he was quite sure he could reach thirty on his part if he paced himself in such a reasonable manner every now and again.

[Apollymi]

"Hm..." this was the response to the idea that Shoichi hadn't questioned her ability to know the information she'd go on to give him. As they continued it seemed that Shoichi had decided to change his tactics. Soon enough her was cradling the Storm Queen's head and slow stroking her with a gentleness that she was never actually expecting. "Hai, I feel the same way, even though I've been keeping track." she mentioned seeming to go very soft for a few moments as she tended to when the pace they chose changed this much. It was in moments like these that she realized way she liked Shoichi was exceedingly different from the way she liked other people. As he moved within her she moaned her hips finding rhythm with his as her heart beat seemed to speed up just a little, her own body shifting just a tad so she could wrap her arms around the Sky King as she leaned up to kiss him.

[Bloodedge]

"Sou desu ka... Good." With that said, Shoichi leaned forward to meet the woman's kiss. His eyes closed, and his movements became smoother as he relaxed into this. Several hours later, he worked toward his thirtieth, and very likely his final finish. He did so in a very standard fashion, strangely enough, involving himself over the Storm Queen's body as he kept up an embrace which allowed him full-force thrusts with his hips alone. He had worked up quite a sweat this time around by truly giving it all he had. "Heh. One left. C'mon, what'll make it the best yet?"

[Apollymi]

They continued for hours, moving closer and closer to their supposed goals, eventually Chiyo would find herself back below the Sky King as he smoothly stroked within her. She'd already felt many more flourishes this day, even since she'd mentioned the largeness of the numbers they were both pushing at. Even so, as she was asked a question she crested once more, moaning first as her nether tightened around Shoichi's manhood. "Aaaah!~" she said at first before her legs wrapped around Shoichi and she attempted a roll with the strength of her legs which would end with the Sky King below in a slightly seated position and the small girl in his lap meeting his thrusts while she wrapped her arms around his neck putting them closer together. "Eh, the best thing ever, is both of us meeting in the middle yeah?" she said as her hips found a new slightly more aggressive pace and she looked into the Sky King's face. "Fuck, so give me all ya' got... and I'll do the same!~" these were the terms offered by the Storm Queen who wanted nothing more than for the pair of them to be equals in this endeavor and to meet the efforts of her partner for reasons of her own.

[Bloodedge]

Following his question, Shoichi let himself be led by Chiyo's shifting. This resulted in a 180 degree shift of their persons, leaving the Storm Queen on top while he seemed to retain an ability to move. With this, came the suggestion that they both give all they had to these final moments. "Haha! That's it, huh? Osu!" Shoichi's excitement was marked by an immediate return to his upward thrusting into the young woman's core. He immediately began panting in a way he never had before, and it became obvious to him that he'd be physically incapable of continuing when this was all over, but he didn't care about that. At this rate, he was sure to be satisfied.

[Apollymi]

As they continued, it appeared the Sky King was on board with the general idea of the Storm Queen's final flourish. This was marked by the immediate upward thrust into her person, this was becoming more an more aggressive, and that was what she enjoyed to begin with. But more so than that, this amount of closeness and the movement between them as the Storm Queen also lowered herself into the young man and this would only increase the depth which would cause a tingle in the young woman the likes of which she hadn't previously felt. At the point where he seemed to push past the end of her, the small girl was overcome with an undeniable sensation and as she reached her final peak, she leaned into the Sky King but instead of kissing him in this moment she bit him, in the space near his collar bone as the singular moment of her passion culminated in a very forceful release for the girl, the tightening of her nether and the addition of moisture marked the greatest flourish she'd experienced, ever.

[Bloodedge]

Some time into this endeavor, the tingling sensation Shoichi felt began multiplying by the second. This was the type of moment that required quite a bit of skillful withdrawal on the male's part, as he rather specifically had to hold back until he was sure his partner had reached the end. When she bit into his neck, though, there was a very interesting sensory overload occurring in the male. He was certain she'd torn into his flesh, but in this exact moment, that was something oddly pleasant. "Argh!" he grunted as he came to a singular conclusion. He'd been bitten, and he was now biting into the side of Chiyo's neck in return while his hands gripped her hips with utmost intensity. Shoichi tended to enjoy himself no matter what, but this was something beyond even his former experiences, evident in the violent, neigh, explosive and lasting ejaculation he had whether Chiyo was still attached to him or not.

[Apollymi]

Chiyo had bitten the Sky King at the top of her peak, and had in turn been bitten, but her sense of fairness made her perfectly alright with this, and beside that point it was only a good feeling which further fed into how she was feeling at the moment. The violent and explosive finish of the Sky King in turn was met by the young woman's body as she was presently held by her hips. This wasn't something which bothered her either, and the sensation of being filled in such a way only further fed the pleasantness of this experience feeding into a feeling of euphoria. "Aaaah~" she finally managed after she released her hold on the Sky King's body with her mouth. And after a few seconds she finally managed to remove herself from his person and fell to the Sky King's left. There was nothing but silence from the young woman, but she was more than pleased, a huge grin on her face as she fully appreciated this experience.

[Bloodedge]

Even after he was dismounted, Shoichi's manhood continued to pulse twice more in the manner that male anatomy tended to during such moments, releasing the remainder of his finish. This was the time in which he achieved absolute relaxation, and fell onto his back with his limbs going limp and his breathing staggered. "Huh... I can't... I can't even..."

[Apollymi]

"Fuck! It's all good... just... like..." Chiyo was also working on trying to complete a sentence or two, but her own body was almost as relaxed as it could be, she knew for a fact that if she allowed it to happen all the way she'd simply pass out as a result of the greatness that was their most recent finish. Instead of allowing it to fully settle in she rolled her body off the edge of the bed and landed on her feet. "Gimme a sec, I got ya'. And then we can sleep." she said heading off to the bathroom to clean herself up and retrieve a warm wash cloth for Shoichi so he could as well. If all went well she'd return herself freshened up in about a minute and help the Sky King get cleaned up so they could relax and sleep off their euphoria together.

[Bloodedge]

"Mrhmm... yeah..." he said as Chiyo carried herself toward the bathroom. Realizing it was a bit past re-hydration time, he also crawled out of bed and reached into the mini-fridge. When Chiyo returned with a cloth, he had another pair of juice boxes in hand, and a pair of pre-made parfait cups with attached spoons as well. "Motherfuckin'. Juice box," he said as he placed one of each item on the nightstand to Chiyo's side, keeping the others to himself as he wiped himself off.

[Apollymi]

It seemed sleep was put off for at least a little longer. Upon her return Chiyo found the Sky King had given her both a juice box and a pre-made parfait both of which looked delightful given how long it had been since their last re-hydration session. As she settled into her side of the bed after handing off the warm washcloth she grinned, inserting straw into juice box and having a sip. "Fucking juice boxes!~" she chimed seemingly pleased, though as she settled she became more and more relaxed, her legs feeling like jelly and her breathing finally normal again. "Shoichi, you're the best!~" she said leaning over to peck his cheek before she'd start in on her dessert. Apparently, she was very pleased by the outcome of this day, and beyond that the dessert and drink ready for her consumption.

[Bloodedge]

Shoichi also took the time to apply the straw to his juice box, and uncap his parfait cup. He drank about half of the box before taking the first bite from the dessert cup, and as he chewed, Chiyo spoke words which made him reply in a manner most strange. "Y'know, that's what I was going for at first... but I kinda forgot until just now."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo had recently uncapped her parfait and began to eat it, looking at it with wide sparkling eyes because it was literally the best possible end to her day. "Sugoi!~" she whispered to it excitedly after the first bite. This momentary childish happiness was ceased as the Sky King explained he'd initially intended to get the small girl to state his superiority when they'd started this endeavor. Unlike most people, Chiyo had a deep understanding of this considering her own need to dominate things, but in this case... she supposed she hadn't thought of the fact that the Sky King wanted to be the most important man in her life. She also hadn't considered that he might not have felt that way to begin with, she looked at him and in her presently relaxed state she had no issue telling him what was important. "Sou desu ka." she said at first seeming to process as she took another bite. "Ya' know Shoichi, you don't actually have to question whether or not I think you're the best... If ya' hadn't noticed you're my favorite fucking person in the entire world." the small girl mentioned. She knew she was bad at people stuff, and at being honest about how she was feeling, but the one person she wanted to be happy more than anyone else, was the young man sitting next to her eating desserts with her teeth marks on his collar bone.

[Bloodedge]

"Nope; hadn't noticed a thing. Don't give me that much credit," the Sky King said with a plastic spoon hanging from his mouth. A few moments later, he was done with his cup and throwing it toward the trash can at the other end of the room. His shot landed, of course, which freed him to remain in place and finish off his juice box as well. While he was drinking, he felt a strange sensation on his shoulder, and looked to realize there was blood pouring from the bite he'd received minutes prior. "Oh... well shit."

[Apollymi]

Chiyo couldn't help but chuckle, when the Sky King mentioned he couldn't be given credit as he hadn't noticed the small girl's general affection for him. She couldn't really fault him for this because she also found herself incapable of knowing how other people felt about her. "Wants credit, doesn't know he already has all the credit... also oblivious~" the commentary came from the small girl. "Fuck! I get it though." she mentioned as she finished up her juice box and tossed it. She was working on her parfait when the utterance of a curse caused her to flick her gaze over to the Sky King, finding the bite she'd inflicted upon his person to be bleeding on his shoulder she rose from bed once more heading for the bathroom to get the material to patch him up. "That uhh... looks pretty bad. Gomen... I don't know what got into me." the girl said as she slipped away, not seeming to notice that she had actually offered an apology. She'd come back with antiseptic, and a bandage for the bite inflicted. She had one of her own but it only stung there was no broken skin, likely because Shoichi didn't possess her pronounced canine teeth. "Let me, take care of that for ya'." she mentioned, and if allowed she'd begin gently treating the wound she'd given the young man in the heat of the moment.

[Bloodedge]

"You're one to talk, aren't ya'?" he asked rhetorically in a tone that reeked of sarcasm. He soon shifted the juice box into his left hand, if only so he could use his right to tap at his bite wound. Little did he know, this would be leaving quite the permanent mark on his flesh, but he didn't seem at all bothered by it. As such, though he accepted the aide of the Storm Queen, he did so while shaking his head still. "It's nothin' to worry about. Actually felt pretty good at the time."

[Apollymi]

The Storm Queen's eyes flickered over Shoichi. He was quite right about her own inability to understand other people. But that was the point in this particular situation. Still he accepted her help after tapping on he wound present on his collar bone. Since her help wasn't turned away she went about applying antiseptic to stop the bleeding and then applied the bandage as if it was something she'd done on a regular basis, and it would be a virtually painless moment for Shoichi as well. Though the mention of the fact that the bite delivered felt good at the time of receiving made the girl pause and look at the young man a small blush creeping up on her face. "I mean if you say so..." she said having finished her work she covered her face for a second waiting for the red tint to retreat. "Better?" she asked of the wound with her face hidden.

[Bloodedge]

As he received treatment to his wound, Shoichi remained relatively still. The pause by Chiyo after his earlier statement did not go unnoticed by the young man, but he did not immediately address it. This changed when he was asked if the bite was better following the application of antiseptic. The hiding of the Storm Queen's face simply would not do, so Shoichi reached out to grab her by the wrist and pull her closer to himself. He would then kiss the woman to end his night, or rather, the next day or so.

Shoichi fully woke to the morning sun a full day later, and after his morning shower, he disappeared from the room. Over the course of the next hour, he would be found in the kitchen downstairs, moving about as if he intended to whip up a breakfast of champions for an entire army. At some point, the pink-haired Pledge Queen also entered the kitchen, but she did no more than sit at a table and watch as the Sky King darted around the room wearing nothing more than a pair of white boxers and a blue apron with the words "Blow the Cook" written in gold letters on its front. "Sho-kun! Don't forget the fruit mixes!"

[Apollymi]

Chiyo seemed content to hide her face for a few moments longer, but the Sky King was having none of this. The follow up to the behavior would be the young man grabbing her wrist and pulling her in closer. Such affection and tenderness was the thing which the girl liked most about the young man in her presence. And after a few seconds a kiss ensued and it was the perfect ending of their night.

Moving right along, Chiyo would wake a while after Shoichi a day or so later. She wasn't groggy and when she opened her eyes, they contained her natural slit pupils. A stretch ensued and she felt the soreness associated with the bite that had been delivered to her neck. But it was kind of pleasant after the fact, she spent a few seconds sitting in bed, before she decided to get up properly and have a shower. Some 20 minutes after that the girl would be walking out of Shoichi's room and down the hall to her own, wrapped in a towel, with two large safety pins in hand. A simple sniff of the air would let her know where her housemates would likely be found. She'd spend a few moments getting dressed in pajamas as she didn't really intend to leave the house immediately and restoring her pig tails. Before she joined the Sky King and Pledge Queen downstairs. When she did she'd be wearing a pair of pajamas which were decorated with fangs and purple lips per her general like of those things with her large pigtails and straight bangs. "Ohayou Gozaimasu!~" she mentioned as she entered in time to see the Sky King zipping about and the Pledge Queen sitting and watching who she joined.

[Bloodedge]

"Moshi moshi!" Shoichi said, being the first to reply to the fanged lass. "Sit down. I'll be done in a few!" he continued, having never broken his rhythm in whipping up this smorgasbord of a breakfast. The next thing to become visible in Shoichi's area by the stove was the flipping of numerous pancakes, in a manner almost akin to a juggle show.

"Chi-chan... Ohayou gozaimasu~♪" said Usagi in a sing-song manner. She looked directly in Chiyo's direction while giving her greeting, and a gentle, yet slightly devious smile was upon her face. "Slept well~?"

[Apollymi]

"Hai hai!~" Chiyo said to Shoichi before she took a seat across from Usagi who seemed to be in a very good mood, and watched as the boy whipped up a massive breakfast. Since the pink haired young woman before her had spoken to her, the Storm Queen's eyes shifted towards her. The sing-song way in which she was greeted was quite normal, but the follow up which was a tiny bit devious made the small girl's eyes narrow. "Fuck! Well, yeah I slept fine." she said without averting her gaze at all, because admitting such a weakness would only lead to teasing, though in the moment she really wanted to. "Usagi-nee you've gone native on me haven't ya'?" she asked wondering since when the pink haired girl had developed such deviousness. She was among the most innocent of her friend group and the fanged girl didn't expect the slightly teasing quality to the girl's question.

[Bloodedge]

While Shoichi was apparently pulling out a trio of massive goblet-like glass dishes, Usagi retained a smile and eye contact with the Storm Queen. True enough, she was never the most mischievous of Gravity Children, but there was much to be heard in this house for several days straight, and such a thing would tamper with the mindset of anyone for a bit. "No, no... but, when in Rome and all. I hope it was as satisfying as your last trip~♥" she said in a hushed tone of voice.

"Oi! Flavors!" Shoichi called out, seeming oblivious to the ongoing conversation behind him. "Oooh! Raspberry!"

[Apollymi]

Chiyo seemed to be once again trapped in a conversation about the things she did behind closed doors, and out in the open while no one else was around with the Sky King this time. She could understand given the Pledge Queen's close proximity how such a thing might have tainted her mind a bit. Still a cheeky smile crossed the young woman's face. "Eh, well...it was better than that. It was the best~♥" she said in hushed tones as well. Rather subconsciously touching the bite mark on her neck which was covered by the straps of tank top. When she was rather suddenly asked for a flavor by the Sky King the small girl scoffed as if it was a stupid question. "Fuck! You don't really have to ask do ya'? Lemon~" she chimed seeming to be happy to know that there was dessert with her breakfast.

[Bloodedge]

Usagi stared at the other woman with wide eyes, as if she found her words nearly impossible to believe. In fact, given her own experience with the Flame King in Miyabi's Trophaeum Tower, she did find it almost impossible. But, to each her own in this case. "S-... Sou ka..." she said after a long pause. In the meantime, Shoichi looked over his shoulder with a raised brow directed at Chiyo. "Well yeah, I had to ask. I didn't assume you'd want lemon in what I'm fixin' up, but... never mind, I'll make it work," he said with a wink as he returned to the task at hand.

[Apollymi]

Chiyo watched as the Pledge Queen seemed to be in disbelief of what she had to say about her most recent good time. Of course, Chiyo was fine with this, given it meant she wouldn't have to share, with this in mind she simply grinned and nodded. Moving right along, apparently whatever Shoichi was making, he didn't initially intend to make with lemon. But given Chiyo's love of that particular fruit she didn't really seem to mind all that much. The wink offered by the young man made her gaze flicker over him just a bit. "To be fair, if given an option lemon is always my choice. I didn't actually ask, what are you even making right now?" the Storm Queen questioned happily.
