There's portal techniques for this, right? Like, a palm-sized or even smaller just for talking?

Well, if they are waiting for you that IS a reasonable place to wait.
Ah to figure out the order to do things, when there ain't no one right ordering.
...Well, there IS a risk someone barges into your home, so I suppose that must be first.

Caleb is an experienced sailor, certainly the best person to ask about this plan to just 'channel around it'. And probably the person besides Fennel who knows just how the magic water-suspension field works in practice.

I'm still curious whether the field is just 'surface layer' like a giant slab of ice, or if it's a whole hemisphere or water that's effectively trapped or in stasis (which has implications for anyone who happened to be in said body of water when the barge showed up - could be trapped fey in there... Or the equivalent of royal aquatic guards).

A sillier option to deal with the field could be temporarily turning the ships into sleds and pulling them across the field.

Could also ask Deliliah to carry/pull the ships. We haven't seen a limit to her strength yet.

“If they’re waiting at our home, we may want to coordinate with the guardians first. We may want to tell them about the water bridge idea too.” Casey says with a sigh.

Gabe’s shoulders sag and he moans, “Awwww, alright. I’ve been missing the house, you know?”

“Yeah, so have we, man. Duty first, though.” Kol pats him on the shoulder and steps up. “Cecil, thanks for holding down the fort here. We’ll talk more later. Okay?”

“Mmm, agreed! Lets catch up soon! It was a good heist, a shame about the after effects.” Mr. Ochre gives them all a hug as they depart.

A quick portal later, and the mice find themselves in the Sender’s Academy. They exit the chambers designated for arriving gates and make their way towards the office of guardian, Mariana Rue-Larrey.

Gabe knocks and hears a frustrated “Come in!”

Mariana looks up as the trio enter. “You’re back! Has it been a month already? “ The cardinal is looking slightly haggard, sitting up from a slouch and fixing her head-feathers. She puts aside a half-eaten sweetbread roll, clearly feeling the need for calories after lots of magical exertion.

>>1123282
Yep. How are things? Anything need doing? Is this space private? Anything we should or shouldn't talk about?

It's been a Lunar month, yes.
Man the Fey have been giving you trouble, would you like a hug?
Got anyone to help us help you with the Fey?

Gabe could take the opportunity to joke that he hasn't seen her looking this worn out since she had to deal with him and his antics as a student~

“We got off early for good behavior.” Gabe says, flopping down into an ancient, well-worn chair: its stuffing leaking through cracks in the leather. “You know about what happened?”

“Word got around. Cecil Ochre showed up after you went missing to explain why Clio hadn’t shown up for classes.” She sighs. “I should be more angry, but from what I’ve been told, she really gave those old fey a fright. Kinda wish I had been there to see it...”

“It was incredible.” Gabe says, shaking his head and snuggling back into the leather. “She ripped a hole in the sky that blotted out the moon! The Claíomh Solais she summoned was a good three feet long, at least!”

She sighs, imagining the blazing blade under a crimson sky. “Well, we’re certainly feeling the backlash now.” Mariana leans back to look out the window and glare at the royal barge. “We could really use someone of Clio’s caliber right now. Cecil told us the broad strokes of what’s happened, but I hope she’s doing okay.”

“Speaking of which, is this room warded against scrying?” Casey asks. She casts her eyes around at the general office clutter: paper, scrolls, books on ley line arrays, a photoplane of Mariana and Ashe together.

The bird shakes her head wearily. “Nah, I need to be able to stay in contact here. I also prefer being able to scry just in case I need to gate directly here.”

“Then, we shouldn't really discuss anything secret. So, maybe we should focus on how we can help?” Casey suggests.

“Good idea. You-“ Mariana points at Gabe, “are a full fledged guardian now, so you should report to the dock and help with the gate crew. They’re running ragged down there.” She glares at the mouse and demands, “Also, where’s your cloak and badge? What is this outfit? Come on, at least look like a guardian!”

Looking like a guardian might be a bad idea right now, actually. The fey already know a lot about you three and presumably have been out here gathering information about you for a while now. Better to give the impression that the New Yous aren't going to be as predictable as they think, set back their plans for a bit.

Argus happened to them? No I don't think we even brought them to him, they should still be with Vivian?

Not a matter for right now, unfortunately we are quite rushed.

..hmph, I guess the cloak and badge can go on over it.
Alright Gabe, it's portal duty time! What about the other two?

Who do the mice have to fuck to sluttify the official guardian uniform? Is there rules on how Guardians have to act/drezz or is that on a per-guardian basis?

Wonder if these new Fey threads can change shape or fit under a uniform in any case.

> Gabe: Tease Mariana about wanting him to lose his clothes and slip into something more 'official'. Maybe help her relax and wind down.

“Gimme a break! We just got back! We haven’t even gone home yet!” Gabe whines. “And I’ll have you know, this is one of Argus’s outfits! Its classy!”

“Mm-hmm, I’m sure. Don’t you have a spare cloak in your portal-space-thing?” The guardian squints.

“I do, but its dirty. I meant to do laundry, but I didn’t expect I’d be gone for a month.”

“Actually-“ Casey says, interjecting. “Not looking like a guardian might be handy right now. A lot of fey are looking for us, and not having a big red cloak might be a good idea.”

“Alright, but you should at least have your seal on you.” Mariana concedes.

“Before Gabe goes in gate duty, we wanted to run something by you.” Casey says.

Mariana takes a bite of her sweet-roll and waves her hand in an “I’m listening” manner.

“We noticed that the field doesn’t cover the whole harbor. There's an area on the south side we think ships could get through.”

“Mm- too shallow. And if you’re thinking about digging a canal, the harbor master said no.” The guardian shakes her head. “We could cut one pretty easily, but she said that it could cause the shore to crumble without proper support.”

“Okay, but what if instead of making it deeper, we raise the water instead?”

The bird swallows the bite of pastry and cocks her head, “What, like flood the shore?”

“No, well, kind of. We know a water elemental who’s working with the fire department: what if we get her to make a bridge out of water? Or carry the boats over?”

“Can she do that?” Mariana asks.

The mice look to one another, “We haven’t, uh, asked her yet.” Kol admits. "We were just about to."

Whelp, off to collect your friend... once you find them, probably your house? Has it been renovated yet? Surely...

>>1123379
Well, we'll have to wait until the Fey aren't lingering around the house, if we want to keep our presence secret.

Might be worth checking the exterior state of the house with a spyglass (you know, in case you've been robbed in the last month or had Fey intruders search the place). Also likely the house has been heavily bugged/scrying is happening. What would it take/cost to get ones house scrying-protected?

Can Kol keep his presence secret with his spirit form, or would that alert the Fey immediately, as a way to scout the house for intruders or such?

Gabes portal shelter at least is the most secure place available for any sensitive objects...

Also worth hopping by the Bakery and see the newlyweds and talk about the whole surrogate situation. Maybe grab some of their premium baked goods too, whether as a gift or a bribe to any Fey agents/royals (remember how Vivian reacted to them?).

“Well, you better go get her, then. We need our harbor back.” She points to Gabe and glares, “Speaking of which, you should get down there, riiight?”

The mouse sight and sits up. “Alright. I get it.” He opens up his storage gate and sticks his arm in. Gabe fishes around for a moment before pulling out a badge and polishing it against his hip before pinning it on.”

“You know, I’ve been meaning to learn how to do that. Most guardians just use a beacon in a big closet or something.” Mariana watches the storage portal close with a pop and shakes her head.

“You don’t have a storage dimension? I thought more senders knew how to use one!” Gabe replies.

The bird shrugs and polishes off her sweet-bread. “I know the theory behind them: using the space between planes to form a little pocket. Never learned how.”

“I’ll, er, scry you up sometime. Maybe I can teach you!”

“Yeah, give me a call. Now, shoo!” She waves him away and the mouse gives an impish salute before departing.

“What about you two? You said you were going to talk to your elemental friend, right? I’m rested up enough that could probably manage a gate if you need it.” The guardian turns to Kol and Casey.

The pair look to one another and mull it over. Casey replies, “Hmm, Fennel lives with us, buuuut… last we heard, there was some kind of fae agent prowling around our place. It might be a good idea to drop us off somewhere they won’t notice the gate. That way we could scope out the neighborhood without being seen. “

“Hmm that’s a good idea, where should I drop you?”

“Are you familiar with Hearthfire Bakery? We could walk from there.” Kol suggests.

Mariana nods and stands up, stretching her arms and back. “That’s the place your chinchilla friend runs, right? Been meaning to try it out.” She peers into the crystal ball on her desk and does a quick scry to locate it. “Alright, you ready?”

The mice nod and step forward into Mariana’s gate, finding themselves standing outside Miki’s bakery.

>>1123489
May as well say hi while we're here.

>>1123489
Having sweet rolls but never got anything from our favorite bakery? For Shame! We'll get you something when we got free time... if we get any free time.

...honestly we should probably pick up some snacks while we're here, we won't get time for a meal, no more than Mariana got!

Bring her with you. Just for a tiny bit, that's all. She clearly needs a break and more pastries.

Acquire snacks for yourselves / bribes for any fey agents encountered and lets see how the newlyweds are handling married life.

“Actually, hold the gate for just a sec, okay?” Casey calls back to the sender.

Mariana holds her hand out, locking the spell open, but makes a hurry it up motion with her other hand.

The bell jingles as Kol and Casey open the door. Miki’s face lights up and she rushes from behind the counter to hug them.

“Guys! You had us so worried! First we don’t see you for days, then Cecil says you’re away on some secret guardian thing!” Anxieties come bubbling up out of the chinchilla as she fusses around her friends. She turns and shouts into the kitchen, “Raithe! Kol and Casey are here!”

“Oh good! No Gabe?” The elemental replies.

“Gabe’s helping at the harbor.” Casey explains. “Speaking of which, can we get a bag of muffins real quick? We have a tired sender holding a gate open who needs a pick me up.”

A few moments later, Casey tosses a treat-laden bag back through the open gateway and waves a goodbye to Mariana.

Ask her how things have been. hopefully the fey haven't given her much trouble, or have at least been good customers.

Holy heck how aaaare you!!!! How's everything been, you've been away so long! Sorry for popping in unannounced, but you just got back and hiii!

These two are adorable, thank them for the muffins.

“Thanks for the muffins. I’m sure Mariana will appreciate them.” Casey says as the sound of the gate closing booms outside.

Miki chuckles and waves it off. “No biggie. The word of mouth attention we get from you guys is more than worth it.”

“Sorry we’ve been gone so long! How are you guys?” Kol asks.

“We’ve been doing okay, but what’s going on with the harbor? We’ve seen the big gates they’ve been casting! Blazing litchfire, guys! What’s with that big boat? And we had people asking about you! What’s going on?”

“Uh, long story short: we stole a big, powerful magic item and a bunch of fey want to steal it for themselves. Also we may have really pissed off some fey royalty, and now we have a big boat problem.” Kol says with a shrug. “You said people were asking about us? What kind of people?”

“They were…” Miki begins before trailing off. “They were about…”

She turns back to the kitchen and yells, “Raithe, honey? Do you remember the folks that came around and asked about the guardians?”

“Yeah?”

“Do you remember who they were?”

“I- I don’t think I caught their names…”

“Yeah, but- like- do you remember what they looked like?”

The salamander’s head comes peeking out of the kitchen and frowns. “Uh… I don’t think so. I remember I came out of the kitchen because you seemed nervous, but… I can’t… remember any details, sorry.”

Interesting. I wonder if you can trick whatever fey magic they used on them by seeing if you can get them to say what they WEREN'T. You know, 'so they had fur?' 'so they were glowing?' etc. Just to see if there's any features that come easier for them to say they DIDN'T have. Maybe the fey magic obscures them from saying what they look like but not what they DIDN'T look like?

Just a thought, but maybe worth trying. Gotta play your own games with the fey, you're already losing if they get you to become a player in theirs.

>>1123585
Sounds like an obfuscation glamour, or outright memory alteration. Which one is more likely? Do we know of any countermeasures for it?

>>1123585
Raise one hand and waggle fingers.
"Fae bullshit" and tell them not to worry. We got the info we needed.

Weeell, the people were Fey, and that is all we need... though knowing the memory shenanigans is nice, maybe we need to carry around a piece of glass for that.

If we're not pressed for time, overpowering the seal is an option. How strong an emotional reaction do you need to jog their memory?

Tell them not to worry about it. The simple fact that neither of them can remember anything distinct about them tells us plenty. These people did not want to be remembered, or to have details about them relayed to anyone else.

Yeah, we definitely need some kind of protection from whatever bullshit the fae are trying to pull.

“Hmm, that sounds like a glamour. Probably was a fae of some sorts.” Casey says. She paces the short length of the counter as she thinks. “Do you remember telling them anything?”

“I just tried to play it cool.” Miki said with a shrug. “Like ‘oh, yeah they’re pretty famous around here.’ I was getting a weird vibe, and just kinda wanted them to leave. What are we going to do? Is there any way to break the glamour?”

Kol speaks up, letting his spirit blur the edges of his body. “I bet with my training, I could see though it.”

“I wonder…” Casey stops on her heel and turns to face the baker. “Miki, do you remember how Vivian reacted when she tried your baking?”

“Remember? I still can’t believe it! I mean, its kind of a dream come true!” The chinchilla blushes, lost in a haze of pride and disbelief. “Some days we stay and have breakfast together in her garden and, um, actually she’s much more down to earth than I realized.”

“Do you think other fae might have a similar reaction?”

“What, that blissed out frenzy?” Miki rubs the top of her head with the back of her hand and wipes them on a clean dishrag. “Viv is pretty obsessed with art and expression, so my scones hit her pretty hard. But your average fae might also react more than a mortal…”

“Hmm, if they’re trying to hide themselves, it might just give them away. Would it be possible to get a box of something bite-sized we can use to test anyone suspicious?”

Miki and Raithe share a glance before the salamander suggests, “I think we have some cookies, that should work, right?”

Heck yeah. Time to give fey agents involuntary food-orgasms in public!

Show them the depths of your baking prowess. Love and skill infused pastries of bright revelation!

Better sample one on yourselves first. As a control, of course.

Though, Casey might be part-fey now...

“That should be perfect! They won’t be expecting your level of skill in just a little cookie!” Casey takes the bag and gives the bakers a thumbs up. “We better get out there and track these mystery fae down before they cause any trouble. If you see anyone suspicious, give them a free sample and give us a call!” 

“Can do! Come back soon: we wanna hang out and hear about your adventure!” Miki waves from behind the counter as the mice set out. 

“Slag me, I was hoping they’d stick around longer.” Raithe sighs. 

“Aww does my big, hot dragon miss his horny mice friends?” Miki cuddles up to her husband and hugs him. “Tell you what: why don’t we hop back into the kitchen and I’ll give you a quick blowjob? It’ll be just like that day we first met~”

The elemental brightens up and his shaft starts to peek out from between his legs. “Ooh! Good idea! I could use a little ‘warming up’~”

Excellent idea. Stoke the hearthfire by stroking your hubby. Anything to make the pastries have more love and meaningfulness in them!

Miki scurries over to the front door, locks it, and flips the welcome sign over so that it says "Be right back!"

Stifling giggles, the couple duck back into the kitchen as Miki starts slipping out of her clothes. She throws them in a pile over by the sacks of flour and turns to face her husband. "You ready?"

The elemental perches himself on the edge of the table, letting his legs dangle over the edge. He wiggles excitedly in place and spreads his legs, letting his dick hang freely for her. "Mmm-hmm! Oh, this feels so naughty~ It's been a while since we've done it in the kitchen."

The chinchilla kneels in front of him and shuffles forwards, cuddling close to Raithe. "Well, we have to make sure everything we make is full of love, so all the fae can taste it, don't we? What better way to get the flavor just right?" Miki leans forward and pins him in the cleft of her breasts, rolling her body forward to properly coax him to his full length. Within minutes, the shaft is long enough for her to nod her head down and lap kiss the tip.

"Ahhhh~" The dragon sighs, his tongue lolling from his blazing maw. "Your tits feel so good, honey. They're soooo soft~"

A little grin tugs at the corners of Miki's mouth and she lets out a trickle of fire-breath. She takes a long lick up the length of Raithe’s shaft, the tiny flame wraps itself around it in a flickering ribbon and he moans happily for her. Raw mana leaks onto her tongue and she takes him deeper, filling her mouth with hot dragon cock.

Raithe hisses like quenched iron, bucking up into her eagerly. "Ah! Yeah! That's it!" He cranes his neck to watch as his fluffy wife bobs her head between his legs.

If he likes them now, just imagine what they'd be like as she embraces her maternal side.

Miki shuffles closer, sucking dutifully at the dragon’s shaft. Her mouth full with her husband's erection, the chinchilla goes to work cradling his balls and massaging the base of his dick . She pauses her sucking to run her tongue up the underside of his red-hot length, and is rewarded with the electric sizzle of mana.

“Mmmm, you like that?” She asks, as if she couldn’t taste the answer.

“Ahhh~, fuck!” The salamander’s tail whips across the table as he starts to tense up. Raithe moans and seethes through his teeth, feeling the need to release building up. “Don’t stop!”

Despite his pleas, Miki pauses and pushes her husband backwards onto the table. “Sorry, I can’t help it, I need you inside me babe.”

“What happened to ‘a quick blowjob’?” Raithe asks in mock seriousness, teasing his wife .

The baker climbs up into his lap and straddles him, lining herself up with practiced ease. “That was when we were just flirting. Now, I’m so horny, I won’t be able to think all day unless I get properly fucked. Ahhh~”

There’s a moment of pressure and a gasp as he slips inside, filling her with a familiar warmth. The baker takes a breath and wriggles the tip deeper: enjoy the feeling of salamander cock sliding inside her.

Miki plants her feet and starts bouncing, letting her hips rock to follow the curve of his shaft. She squeaks happily, her face lost in a blissful grin as her husband hilts himself again and again inside her. “Oohhh, yeahhhh~ Give me that fucking co-oock~”

Raithe’s claws dig into the table and he bucks up into her, needing to feel that warm little tail-hole wrapped around him. Her cock bounces against his stomach, dripping little trails of pale pre-cum as she edges closer to climax.

Sexy food health and safety violations... gonna need to scrub everything down afterwards.

>>1123949
If they both "glove up", I'm sure it'll be fine. Bonus if the flesh one is used.

With how horny they are, I can imagine them selling 'love-filled' Cream-Puffs or Eclairs. Or branching into aphrodesiac/sexy baked goods in general.

Possible complication of this plan: if the agents start spreading words of the effect/quality of these baked goods, the actual fey royals might get their direct attention / a taste for said baked goods.

Which could either lead to instant unbelievable wealth via sponsorship, or thr Fey becoming possessive / wanting said baked goods exclusively by any means (possibly via kidnapping or scummy fey contracts).

“Miki! Ah! Gonna cum!” Raithe warns. Trying to hold himself back, he grits his teeth and moans. His tail whips back and forth, knocking over a container of powdered sugar and adding to the mess they’ll have to clean up.

The chinchilla leans forward onto his chest, speeding up her bounces. “Ah! Do it! Cum in me! Fill me with your lo-ooove~” Miki’s words tumble out delirious gasps, sounding half-drunk with lust. She feels her own cock already twitching, ready to cum at any moment.

The dragon responds by grabbing her by the thighs, pulling her down until her ass is flush with his hips. Miki’s legs shudder as first pulse of mana-laden cum hits her insides like white-hot fire. She shrieks and throws her head back, her whole body clenching around Raithe’s cock as he fills her and fills her and fills her.

“Ahhh!~ Oh, Raithe! Give it to me! Aahhhh I love youuuu!”

Raithe growls, holding himself buried hilt-deep in his cute, little wife. Pearly arcs of her cum lace themselves across his chest and sizzle into ash as Miki empties her balls; her breath hitching with each orgasmic aftershock. He moans happily, feeling his partner cumming her brains out in his cock, and rewards her with a tail-hole full of raw mana: making sure she doesn’t miss a single drop.

“Ah! Oh Fates! Ah! Raithe, I’m gonna-!”

The jolt of magical energy hits her body all at once, overwhelming her in an instant. Her brain still reeling from climax, Miki opens her mouth and unleashes a blast of flame directly at the ceiling. The kitchen’s fire ward glows as the blaze hits the walls and shakes the bakery.

A few blocks away, Kol and Casey are walking home when a column of flame comes roaring out of Miki’s chimney. Passersby stop in their tracks and turn to watch as a fine dusting of soot and ash comes sleeting down over the neighborhood.

The mice share a look of alarm that quickly turns to understanding.

“Good for them. They could probably use a break anyway.” Casey says with a giggle.

“Hopefully the neighbors don’t complain…”

“At this point, I’m sure they’re used to it.” Casey shrugs and asks, “Anyway, see any fae or anything out of the ordinary?”

Kol’s eyes glow and he scans the crowd as they share confused murmurs with one another. “Not seeing any glamours yet…”

There's always the possibility the fae would hire someone to tail you discretely, like they did with Nemo

>>1124050
Good thinking, we can't leave out the possibility. I wonder what Nemo's up to right now...

So we have Fey who potentially can make themselves forgettable or otherwise have a glamour of 'being unremarkable'. That's aready a problem in case our (or the mices) viewpoint and memories have been manipulated. Might be worth reviewong if they can recall meeting someone but having memory gaps.

There's also the likelyhood some Fey can blend into their surroundings via shapeshifting. Remember how the Kelpie played hide & seek in the Bathouse?

"They might just be blending in with the surroundings, remember how Nixxy was able to sneak around the bathhouse?" Casey says, eyeing every alleyway and window. "We might be getting tailed..."

Kol does another sweep with his enhanced vision and frowns, "Still nothing, but I'll keep looking. They may not know that we're back yet."

"I wonder: is that's why Argus let us go early? He figured something like this might happen and wanted to give us a head start?"

“We better keep moving, then. We’re nearly home.” Casey replies. The pair hurry through the streets, hoping the fiery display is enough to keep everyone distracted while they slip through the crowd.

Before long, they arrive back at their house. They survey the outside from a distance and, having not seen anything suspicious, they approach.

"Let's check before we go in: this isn't an illusion or a trap, right?" Casey says, holding up a hand. "We're not experiencing any missing memories or time? What was the route we took home?"

"Uhh, down Winston ave, Through Fane Square, up the stairs to Burroughs way, took a right on Clannery and left on Birdbridge." Kol rattles off as he mentally backtracks.

Casey nods. "That sounds right to me. Nothing seems out of the ordinary, yet."

The mice approach the front door, finding the mail-box cluttered with an odd collection of objects: several glittery cards, a few scrolls, a long sliver of crystal and a handful of tiny origami figures.

some of those are definitely cursed or enchanted. Any obvious auras?

>>1124095
Don't touch any of that. Those are almost definitely magic items meant to do something once taken into the house or even simply touched. If they were safe to take in, then they would've already been taken... unless there's some reason Nixxy wouldn't be able to take your mail for you?

Knock on the door.

Leave the mail alone, if we truly are ahead of time, then leaving an empty mailbox, regardless of the nature of it's current contents, will be a surefire indicator that you're back.

>>1124095
>mailbox
Probably a trick where just taking anything out of your mailbox technically counts as accepting a gift from the fae and then you'll have to owe them or something.

“Careful-“ Casey eyes the pile as though a magpie had built a nest in the mailbox. “Those are probably gifts and thieves’ contracts. If we touch them, we might be considered ‘accepting’ them and either owe the sender a favor or a challenge.”

“Yeah, I figured as much.” Kol says with a sigh. “I wonder how long this’ll go on for. How are we supposed to get mail?”

“We should look into a post box: hopefully the post office can screen out anything dangerous. “

“Weird that Nixxy didn’t take care of it. You think she’s alright?”

Casey steps up to the door and nods, “We better check on her. You ready?”

“Hold on.” Kol puts his head against the door and lets his spirit phase through the wood. The median looks around noting a light on and the sound of activity upstairs.

“Someone’s inside.” Kol says, pulling himself back through the door. “Could be Nixxy, but it might be two people. I didn’t want to go too far and leave my body unoccupied.”

>>1124253
Oh right we have a key. Open the door quietly and sneak in to see who's there.

Well if it's Nixxy you'd probably hear some giggling

There ARE some people who are supposed to be aat your house.

But what IS the structure of the house, what all is upstairs? give an idea who and what to expect.

If you wanna peek some more before going inside, Casey could give Kol a boost to look through the upper floor windows, with binding magic.

Make sure you recall what your house actually looks like. In case there's a glamour inside the house (e.g. passing through an archway sends you somewhere wrong, or more 'trapped' fey objects pretending to be your regular belongings).

You could also put portals in places you know won't be occupied or risk cutting someone (e.g. ceiling) to just look through.

Is there any kind of Fey 'rule' that they're not allowed to trespass or enter someones house without permission?

As for checking if it's Nixxy, maybe knock some kind of tune she's familiar with.

It's also possible two people are actively fucking in your house. Or someone homeless is slumming it.

>I didn’t want to go too far and leave my body unoccupied.
Yeah, we already know what will happen, thanks to our adventure in the mountain, where his body was snatched by another ghost.

>>1124253

Maybe Fennel is visiting again. You know how those two are.

“Okay, we go in fast and quiet.” Casey says, gripping the handle. Her body flashes into a blaze of angelic light as she prepares.

Kol’s body glows with his spirit puppetry and he nods in agreement.

The binder counts down from three on her fingers and turns the handle, letting herself in.

The pair slip through the door in a flash, with Kol quietly shimmying into the foyer as Casey flutters overhead. The mice make for the stairs and pause at the landing before jumping through the doorway to the bedroom, blocking the exit.

“What the blazing litchfire?” Casey gasps.

The two occupants in the bed turn to the source the interruption. Nixxy lifts her head up, and beams as she recognizes her friends. ”Oh! Is you! You is home! Welcome back!”

Between her thighs, still balls deep in the kelpie is-

“GABE?” Kol glares, “What- what are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be down by the docks?”

Oh no, he's taking on the selkie raid solo. Help him.

Ah but Gabe has an earring. So who's this then?

Did Fennel learn shapeshifting?

>>1124348
>Gabe
Yeah, that's an impostor. Look at the ears, he's got no hole from when Raithe bit him. And the tuft of hair on his head is supposed to be spikey, this impostor has poofy hair.

Also, despite Gabe being really horny, he knows when to put his dick away and to get serious, he wouldn't abandon his duties at the docks.

...Clone?
Shoot the clone

>>1124348
Well, either Nixxy was ALSO at the docks, or you three are about to have some fun indeed!

In fact, Whether or not that is Gabe, you should bind him, either for sexy times or UNsexy times! and then, of course, ask for a portal, any portal.

Oh, shit yeah, that's not Gabe. Tell Nixxy we'll make it up to her with a foursome, once the REAL Gabe gets back, but whoever this is is getting blueballed and locked down NOW

>>1124425
Joining in (careful of your wordings!) with the pretense of having fun and then binding the heck out of the doppleganger to then interrogate them seems like a great idea to be honest.

>>1124353
Can't quite see where the earring should be from this angle. But yeah, the hair is wrong... and he's not wearing eyeshadow either. Hmm, his eyes look wrong too.

Restrain the intruder. Ask if Nixxy knows who it is. If not, that's a serious crime.

>>1124348

That's no Gabe, that's a space station Fey.

The eyes are all wrong. And the little tuft of fur. And really everything, for that matter.

Is nixxy the real deal? Could both be fake.

Strike before the doppelgangers do!

I suspect "Nixxy" is also fake. The real Nixxy is not known for her shyness.

Can Kol do a glamour check stealthly? Pretend to join then bind them does seem to be a very good idea. Actually it may worth to play the full act --would they drop their glamour when orgasming?

The mouse turns and beams at them with a saccharine, impish smile. His eyes seem to glint oddly, as if reflecting light from somewhere unseen. There’s a tiny, almost imperceptible, pause between his words, like he was picking them out of a phrasebook in another language. “Hey guys! Docks? I think you mean cocks! Am I right?! I love some hot cocks!”

“Don’t you ‘hey guys’ us! What about the problems at harbor? This is too far, dude!” Kol demands.

“Wait!” Casey says, holding up a hand. The binder hisses quietly, “That’s not Gabe! He’s missing his earring! Look at his eyes! Somethings off!”

“What do you mean guys? It’s just me! Your partner Gaybe!” The mouse insists. “Always down to fuck! You want to do a hot sex? Or an Orgy? Come join us!”

Kol’s eyes glow as he checks his spirit vision and he shudders. “Woah. Yeah, that’s not Gabe.”

damn he's so convincing, though

"If you're Gabe, enhance your knockers using portal magic!"

Trick the shapeshifter into doing something you know the original can't do. You can also trick them into walking into a meat grinder but you're here for the sex grinder.

Fooling a Selkie was probably not good idea, I don't know if Nixxie will be sad, not care, or be mad.

I kind of hope the latter, if only to squeeze information out of this imposter.

...I ALSO think that Nixxie will play along if we set her up, probably also the imposter. Fey, both enjoying and being pulled into plays, could play along with a well executed Good cop Bad cop routine. If not we mail him back to his home in a bow, which for Court Fey probably ain't good for ones standings.

In fact, why don't we ask "Gabe" how we met Nixxie, THAT will be funny

>>1124546
That's not Gabe. Rip his dick off as a punishment for trying to trick you!

Grow as many parts as you like, but please don't insult us by pretending to be our friend while the town's in danger.

In fact, why don't we ask Nixxie how we met her? THAT will be even funnier...I think. And to see if she's an imposter.

>>1124546
Casey, capture that fool.

I'm referring to Ch.2 where our kelpie disguised as Casey and had Kol screwed her until she couldn't keep the glamour.

If she remembers that (which means she is the real deal), would she want to play the hunter this time?

time to draw the cold iron.

>>1124546
Did he just pronounce his name as "Gaybe"? This impostor clearly doesn't know how to correctly pretend to be Gabe if he can't even get the name right!

>>1124546

Too horny to be Gabe.

A new level has indeed been reached, but at what cost?

Anyway, I'm liking >>1124577; let's let Nixxie fuck around with him a bit, whoever our imposter is. Nothing says interrogation like getting sexually bodied by a kelpie with an already questionable understanding of limits.

>>1124564
I like this idea, not only does it give Nixxy the opportunity to hunt our impostor, but it will also give us the chance to vet Nixxy too. Just in case.

While sexytimes with fake-Gabe is tempting, this might also be a Fey Agent trap. If picking up objects can be seen as accepting gifts or contracts, fucking them / accepting sexual offers almost certainly also counts.

Also worth checking if Nixxy is the real Kelpie we know or if they're a duo of fakers.

Given their playful nature though, I think this might be one of Nixxy's/Mouse's friends (the Axolotl?) doing some roleplaying fun.

Wait a minute...

What if this is one of the libido clones from Gabes psyche? What if Gabes libido clones have somehow physically manifested themselves?

Have Nixxy initiate hip-crushing SNU SNU if they don't conffess. They certainly aren't trained like the real Gabe is now.
