Huh. She was really expecting to have to sleep with him at some point in the proceedings but it looks like that is not happening anytime soon.

"Um, you mentioned clothes?" she asks, next time he appears to be between phone items.

Permalink

He looks up at her, blinking in surprise as if he'd forgotten she was there, then nods. "Right. Preferences?"

Permalink

"Anything you aren't going to want to wear soon is fine."

Permalink

He can fetch her a nice neutral blue T-shirt and a nice neutral pair of black sweatpants and a black pair of... "I only have boxer briefs but they're probably better than nothing? Or maybe not?"

Permalink

"I've never tried them but I can do so now!" She will duck into the bathroom to change out of coat and into clothes.

Permalink

They are, as advertised, a bit too big for her, but:

A skill has been created by a special action! Putting on clothes that are slightly too large for you owned by a boy has created the skill Boyfriend Shirt.

That's a skill? What does it do?

Info // Skills // Boyfriend Shirt

Boyfriend Shirt: Lvl 1 (0 / 3). Passive.

Items of clothing you borrow from potential or existing lovers that are up to 2 + ⌈Skill Lvl / 2⌉ = 3 sizes larger than you will fit you, but not perfectly. They will hang off your body sexily, increasing the effective LST of onlookers by 2 x Skill Lvl = 2 and that of the person you borrowed your clothes from by 3 x Skill Lvl = 3. The LST effect is additive on the number of pieces you're visibly wearing.

Add this skill's level times the number of visible pieces of clothing to that of the Wardrobe Malfunction skill whenever calculating the latter's effect while wearing a lover's clothing.

Your Boyfriend Shirt skill level is added to the levels of all of its subskills.

* Note: Due to the perk My Mind to Control, you can toggle the LST effects on or off.

This game is stupid.

Fine. She is dressed now. She emerges from the bathroom to hand over the coat.

Permalink

He accepts the coat and looks up to smile at her and then tries very hard not to stare. This is actually worse than when she was naked, ahh.

"They fit you well enough?" he asks, eyes going back up to her face and staying there.

Permalink

"Close enough, thank you."

Permalink

"Cool. Anything else you need?" Preferably something that doesn't require him to stand up because he is not wearing underwear and this has never been an issue before.

Permalink

"I think I'm all set for the immediately foreseeable future, unless you don't keep your guest room made up and I need to be pointed to the linen closet."

Permalink

"I don't in fact keep it made up, it's an office now, but I have a sofabed there so it's not hard."

Permalink

"Gotcha. Linen closet?"

Permalink

"—oh don't worry about it I can deal with it. You've been through enough, if I can make things easier for you I will."

...maybe in five minutes.

"- if you say so." She will hop back on the tablet then and see if she can locate the sinister brainjacking facility on Google Maps, see what it ostensibly is.

Permalink

It seems to ostensibly be... nothing? There's an address and pictures but in the same way and other residential building have those, it is as far as Google is concerned someone's house.

Permalink

Huh. Does it have a public record of ownership?

Permalink

Doesn't seem to. It's actually got less public about it than most other residential buildings, if she digs some she can probably piece together a rough history of construction and expansion but nothing more.

Permalink

Well, she notes down in a file who constructed it, so she can go see if they have records of who it was for or whatever in the future.

Probably all the next steps on Being The Protagonist She's Destined To Be involve having sex but while Oliver is very sweet she's not super feeling it? It'd be - perfunctory, to go for it now. She's never even gotten herself off, she kind of skipped all the having an adolescence most people got. Maybe tomorrow she will check his fridge for actual ingredients and make them breakfast, that would be cute in a vaguely romantic way.

Quest initiated: Don't Worry, No Hurry

Yeah, so the universe gives you hints on how to live your life and wants it to be an erotic/romantic game, but it's not gonna be weird about it. The most important thing is that the sex and romance—whenever and however much of it occurs—be compelling to you. It's not rent you owe for being the Erogamer. (Imogene had different tastes, so some lingering world alterations may not look up your alley, but that's a her thing, and your story will be shaped by you.)

Take things at your own pace, use the tools at your disposal to achieve your goals, and make this story yours.

Success: A deeper understanding of the Erogame and your new reality. Other rewards will be determined based on your personal journey.

Permalink

Huh. That's remarkably decent of it. Okay. She does like the breakfast idea, honestly - does this man live exclusively on peanuts and gummy bears, how is he alive - and once they have gone to their respective beds for the night she will have a think about what kind of sex and romance she wants in her life, because realistically even if the game were being super weird about it the correct answer would probably not be "zero, because fuck you".

Permalink

After a few minutes Oliver does get up and go to the office so he can get the bed set up for her. When he walks out of it he's carrying a laptop under his arm.

Permalink

"Thanks! Sorry about kicking you out of your office."
