Gosh, sounds fun. And surprisingly gentle. It makes sense to play a support as a newbie, even if she does want to try the sex talents too...

She picks Positional Mistress, which grants her benefits when helping support another sex position, Point The Way, which strengthens her buff and debuff spells when she's hard, and Empathic Heart, which helps her to soothe partners who are close to their limits and gives bonuses to certain ambience moves.

"Does this look good to you all?"

Sable looks over the build and then nods with a smile. "Looks solid. Any preferences on what tribes we include?"

Alex locks the builds in and flips over to the tribe selection list.

A long list of tribes comes up, in three categories — starter tribes, general tribes and kink tribes.

Under starter tribes is the same list as before — Forest, Scale, Wing, and Night, with the single addition of Water. 

General tribes include Ink, Caravan, Greenblood, and a dozen more, each seeming to focus on a specific monsterperson species or culture and their allies. 

Then there are the kink tribes, another two dozen at least, ranging from Voracious, Pain-Bearer, Corrupt, Intertwined, all the way down in increasing kink levels to Peachless, Golden and Savage at the bottom.

"Hmmm. I like most of the general tribes from their names, at least. How do we feel about Voracious and Pain-Bearer?" 

She likes these people so far, and Sable's putting forward her vore kink... But she still is kind of embarrassed to admit to her breeding kink.

"Definitely want Pain-Bearer, and nix Antfolk," Alex remarks.

"And neither of us mind Voracious, and I know it'll make Sable's day if we include it, so throw that in."

Sable blushes and smiles.

"I, um..." Gloria flushes a little. "I — do want to ask — if we're okay with Voracious for Sable, are we... okay with maybe trying Peachless for me? It's okay if it's too much!"

Sable cocks an eyebrow and smirks. "Oh really. Learn something new. Yeah, I'm fine with including them."

"New girl's got some spice, fun," Alex barks out a laugh. "Yeah, let's roll with it."

"Thanks so much..." 

Gloria blushes and ducks her head, then settles both her hands on her controller and breathes. "Okay," she says. "Let's do this."

And Alex locks in the tribe selections and starts the game with a grin.

A graceful-looking deerboy appears on screen, and his gentle voice fills the room. "Ah, the diplomatic corps has arrived! And just in time, too. We've just had an emissary arrive from the scale tribe and he's very eager to see you! Do you want to attend to him right now?"

A menu comes up: [Play tutorial scenario?]

"Nah, tutorials are shit."

He skips it without waiting for input from the group.

Chris sighs fondly and kisses the top of Alex's head. "We'll help you figure out anything you miss, Gloria."

Sable snuggles close to Gloria as the game starts.

They're tossed into a menu to pick the first clan they'll do their diplomatic mission to. Currently, Scale, Night and Wing are available. 

"Any of you assholes got an objection to blatantly pandering to my boy by running Scale tribe first?"

Chris blushes and sighs.

Sable laughs and shakes her head.

"Not at all!" 

Gloria selects the scale tribe stage and starts it.

And a slim, twinkish lamiaboy with tanned skin and a purple snakey tail comes up on screen. 

"Hey hey," he says. "So you're the ambassadors from the Forest tribe? We need to negotiate hunting rights along the boundary of the desert."

A bright flash of light comes up and the quill pen sketches out TALK!

And everyone is thrown into real-time turn-based gameplay. 

It seems the ambassador is particularly interested in Chris' character, and quickly progresses to snuggling him while whispering sweet nothings. 

"He's really cute."

Gloria uses some of her ambiance skills to set the tone of the meeting early on, then settles in to a buff rotation, mixing in her channel occasionally. She sighs gently as the pleaser teases her with each channel, keeping her warm and activating Point The Way to boost her spellcasting.

Sable settles in for a routine of teasing touches and dirty-talk, pressing her body against the lamiaboy's body and encouraging him toward Chris. She layers speech combos seamlessly as things heat up.
