Vampire District

[Bern]

Valerie

Valerie gave a short glanced and then sighed. "Taro go get dressed or something, I have a dear guest, no a new vassal to entertain. Besides aren't we drawing close to the summit. I'm sure your rival would just love to see you like that, you would be the butt of all jokes for the next ten, not fifty years, and I would I would have to make you the new designated driver." No one wanted to be that, NO ONE.

"As for you my dear Forest."

The Vampire King drew close to her once more, close enough to touch her, or to bite her at a moment's notice.

"Were you turned in the middle of puberty? If so we might see a drastic kick start here courtesy of my gift."

[Elf]

Forest

Forest had to bite her lip from chuckling at the sight of Taro ripping the dog suit off and towering above Valerie.

Would drinking more blood help you gain weight?  I thought I was thin, but I have the urge to feed you about fifty sandwiches, Forest sent to the excited duke.

Forest blinked as Valerie drew close, close enough to touch her.  Her first instinct was to draw back and ready herself for defense.  However, all Valerie would have seen would have been the taller blonde's hands flexing into fists before relaxing again.

"Well, I was nineteen or there about when I was Turned so I would hope I was through with puberty at that time," Forest said.

[yinsukin]

Duke Taro

"Yes ma'am!" Taro said, running out of the room.  They could hear the sound of women screaming over the sound of his tapping against the hard floor.  A guy shouted "What the hell sir?!"

You could feed me a hundred sandwiches and I wouldn't get so much as an inch of body mass! he sent back.  I'm a noodle!

"Why is he wiggling his dick around?!" another guy shouted.

[Bern]

Valerie

She noticed Forest's flexing hands of course, so the taller blonde had issues with people getting close huh. She'd have to work on that, nothing bothered her more than seeing her own kind held back from their true potential by something in their past.

And that's why she the first things Valerie did was grasp Forest's hands with her own and gently squeezed them.

"It's alright Forest, I'm not going to hurt you."

[Elf]

Forest

You're something alright, Forest sent to Taro, keeping up her telepathic banter with the Duke.  I'm still trying to get a bead on to what that something is.

Then Valerie reached up and grasped her hands before gently squeezing them.

Forest blinked at the King's words and frowned slightly.  "Ah, I'm sorry," Forest said before her frown deepened. Why am I apologizing?  It's not my fault and it's not hers either.

Still she took a deep, unneeded breath and said, "I'm twitchy.  It's not you; it's me."

[yinsukin]

Duke Taro

  Don't waste your time figuring it out when I already told you.  Valarie has a point.  You are our dear guest now.  If you would like, I can stay out of the room, no reason to have your boss watch you do something like this, he sent back to her.

"Duke please!  Why are you changing here!" a guy shouted.

"At least he's putting on some underwear...." another guy said.

[Bern]

Valerie

She blinked at those words but still kept a hold of her hands, in fact she aquuezed them again to rreaassure the other blonde. "I want you to be comfortable Forest, it is a very.... Intense experience akin to sexual bliss, and it would make me happy if I did cause you undue stress. A cute face your like yours should smile more."

[Elf]

Forest

Forest looked at Taro and sent to him, I think I want you to stay.  So, please stay?

Valerie squeezed her hands again, her expression bright.

The taller blonde listened to the king's words and bit her lip.  "So . . . how is this done?" she asked.

[yinsukin]

Taro

The door opened and the vampire reappeared in a suit and black slacks, complete with a top hat.  Odd, I haven't had that response in a while...  Well, then I suppose it is time I show you my true form..

Taro reached to his head, slowly removing his mask.  The suit he just put on ripped.  No, it wasn't just his suit, it was the very skin covering his bones.  As the mask slipped off his head, it took the skin with it, revealing a feminine figure.

"Just relax," Taro said in her sultry new voice.

[Bern]

Valerie

The Vampire King's eyes narrowed as she heard that sultry tone of voice, and they narrowed even further once she turned around to behold who had just walked back in.

"I believe I told you to drop that silly guise, you fool. Did you not hear me clearly? I meant it. Drop it." Her tone was final, this wasn't a request. No, this was command from the King.

[Elf]

Forest

Forest blinked, just slowly blinked, at the new and . . . vastly different Taro.

Valerie was getting annoyed and Forest was just staring.

And frowning.

Then proceeded to look down at her small breasts and then at Taro's new luscious form.

Forest pointed and asked, "Hey, do you still have a wanker?"

[yinsukin]

Duke Taro

"Why of course I do Forest," he said, grabbing his own hair and pulling.  Just as before there was a tearing noise as the skin ripped, the beautiful face became hallow without a skull behind it, just another mask.  Muscles bulged from beneath the skin, a gasp escaping his lips.  Taro now had strong muscular arms, complete with a well-developed chest honed from years of battle.  His pants were tight around his legs, his tight ass pressed against his pants.  Crimson eyes peered at Forest as Taro pulled back his silver hair.

"I am a man after all."

He bowed to Valarie.  "Apologies Madam, it was too hard to resist.  Besides, I can't help but try to lighten the mood.  Feeling better Forest?"

[Bern]

Valerie

Valerie shook her head at the sheer stupidity of her first and foremost minion. Of course he'd try this, she'd been expecting it fully when they'd come here. Everything was one big joke to him, and he was wrapped up in layers upon layers of it.

"You know this is why the council does not take you seriously. How many years has it been now since you have revealed your true form?" Valerie of course new, but she couldn't help but play along with this.

After all Taro became a completely different person once he she'd all his skin.

[Elf]

Forest

Forest blinked as Taro pulled off the sultry gothic lolita form to reveal a tall, silver haired man who's muscles were evident even under the simple dress clothing he was wearing.  For a moment she was silent as she stared at him.  Then she realized her mouth had opened and quickly closed it.

"You sodding trickster," she said with a shake of her head and a laugh.

Then at Valerie's words she looked at the King and said, "Honestly, it's not really a dumb political play to play the fool and have your rivals constantly underestimate you.  It gives an advantage because they'll never see it coming when he does become serious."

Forest did take a second look at him before looking back to Valerie. 

[yinsukin]

Duke Taro

"Dumb political play?" Taro said, placing a hand on his bicep.  He flexed his bicep, groaning with pleasure as he finally felt free from that skin suit.  He walked up to Forest, and shot her a wry smile.  "Oh its a dumb political play alright.  The queen is a bum and her second in command is but a jester, a joker ripoff as it were."

Those crimson eyes sharpened, their glow obvious, even in the well-lit office.  He placed his fingers at the base of her chin  "The fool and the pragmatist are one being, just as the hedonist and the ambitious queen are one.  So yes, it is a dumb political play, but as the humans say, 'its so stupid it just works."

He ran his finger along her chest, his crimson eyes softening as he stared into hers.  "Besides, I told you didn't I?  We have to hold onto our humanity somehow.  I like to have as much fun as possible."
