DO IT NOW!|ep1d1_start]]A bright blue car streaked down the empty street. The buildings were dark blurs, barely touched by the dim street lamps. Juliana Amaya leaned forward over the wheel. Her large brown eyes were fixated on the dark road, and her white teeth worried her lower lip. Her shoulder-length black hair was pulled up into a bun, and her light-brown skin had a dusting of makeup. She was wearing a sparkling, low-cut, tight yellow dress that showed off her large cleavage, and clung to her big round bottom. "Sexin' Like Crazy" by All Alone Forever played on the radio. $name Amaya sat next to her, eyeing the car radio. [["\"Man, Sam is gonna be pissed.\""|ep1d1_scared_of_sam]]<br> [["\"Are you sure you don't want to hit one more club? It's not even eleven.\""|ep1d1_party_hard]]<br> [["\"Juliana, would you please slow down? You're going way too fast.\""|ep1d1_carrie_too_fast]]<br>Juliana glanced at the car radio. "Oh come on. It's not curfew yet." "There is no way in hell we're gonna make it back by eleven," said $name. "You worry too much. Sam's probably asleep," said Juliana. "Then why are you driving so fast?" "I got class early tomorrow." "Tomorrow's Saturday." "It's a study group. I misspoke." "We've only been in school a week." "It would be nice if I didn't have to study, but alas, life isn't that kind." "Whatever." $name looked out the window. "Just try not to get pulled over." "I have far more invested in that than you do," said Juliana. "Then why are you going so fast?" "I told you-" $name's skin itched and burned, like a hive of bees crawling across and stinging $her skin. [["\"Ouch, shit!\""|ep1d1_crash]]<br> [["\"Why is there a hive of bees in your car?\""|ep1d1_crash]]<br> [[Scratch frantically|ep1d1_crash]]<br>Juliana shot $name a disgusted look. "Remember the last time we got in past eleven?" $name shrugged. "Whatever. We're not going to make it anyway." "Being ten minutes past is way better than two hours," said Juliana, casting an anxious glance at the clock, and shifting in her seat. "More like twenty. Besides, Sam doesn't scare me." Juliana rolled her eyes. "It's true!" "Uh-huh." "Look, if we're going to get in trouble anyway, might as well have some fun first, right?" "There are many types of 'in trouble.' Some are far more terrible than others," said Juliana. "Damage control, $name. Damage control." "Damage control can suck it." "I'll tell you what you can-" Your skin started to itch and burn, like a hive of bees crawling across and stinging your skin. [["\"Ouch, shit!\""|ep1d1_crash]]<br> [["\"Why is there a hive of bees in your car?\""|ep1d1_crash]]<br> [[Scratch frantically|ep1d1_crash]]<br>"Relax," said Juliana. "This road's always empty." $name looked at the dark buildings zipping by and shivered. "And kind of creepy." "See? All the more reason to go fast," said Juliana. "No, all the more reason to slow down a little. I do not want to get into an accident here," said $name, rubbing at $her skin. "Why the hell do we always go this route anyway?" "Faster. No cars, very few traffic lights, and they're all blinking yellow this time of night." "Yeah, but you're going like fifty-five. It's a thirty-five zone." "Fifty. And I told you-" Your skin started to itch and burn, like a hive of bees crawling across and stinging your skin. [["\"Ouch, shit!\""|ep1d1_crash]]<br> [["\"Why is there a hive of bees in your car?\""|ep1d1_crash]]<br> [[Scratch frantically|ep1d1_crash]]<br>"What are you-aggh!" Juliana hunched, one hand clutching her head, the other locked on the wheel. The car swerved around the road, and careened towards a street light. A crimson light blinded $name, metal crunched, and tires squealed. The car turned off and there was nothing but breathing. $name opened $her eyes. The car had smashed into a streetlight, making it flicker. A crimson light filled the car. [["\"Thank you moms and dads for always making me wear my seatbelt.\""|ep1d1_crash_1_seatbelt]]<br> [["\"Ouch.\""|ep1d1_crash_1_no_seatbelt]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_crash_1_no_seatbelt]]<br>"Definitely owed some major hugs," said Juliana. <<include ep1d1_crash_1>><br>"You ok?" asked Juliana. <<include ep1d1_crash_1>><br>$name patted $herself. "Feel a bit winded, but otherwise I'm fine. You?" "Me too." Juliana winced and massaged her forehead. "My head is killing me." "My skin burns." $name rubbed $her arms. $She pulled out $her phone and tapped the screen. Nothing. $She tapped it again, more frantically. Still. Nothing. "Yours not working either?" asked Juliana. "Of course not," said $name. "Stupid things never work when you need them." "Prolly damaged in the crash." "Don't look damaged." "Speaking of damage." Juliana opened her door and stepped outside. "Let's see how boned we are." $name stepped out of the car. $She shivered as a cool breeze touched $herm, $her <<risque 'skimpy outfit doing nothing to block it' 'clothing doing little to block the chill of fear'>>. $She glanced up at the abandoned office buildings towering over them. "Holy cow," muttered Juliana. She crouched next to the front of the car, studying the car and lamppost. How she managed it in stiletto heels without falling on her barely-clad ass was a mystery for the ages. "There's no damage." "Don't be stupid." $name crouched across from Juliana to look at the car. Not even the paint was scratched. The light was totally mangled. [["\"Holy cow.\""|ep1d1_crash_2]]<br> [["\"I apologize for calling you stupid.\""|ep1d1_crash_2]]<br> [["\"Huh.\""|ep1d1_crash_2]]<br>"In fact, looks like the car stopped a few inches in front of the post, like we'd come to a screeching halt," said Juliana. "But I don't remember slamming on the brakes. And how did the lamppost get so badly damaged?" "Holy fuck," said a rough voice behind the car. Both Juliana and $name jumped. Juliana lost her balance and fell on her barely-clad bottom. $name spun towards the sound of the voice. Her hand started to glow with a deep red light. $She stared at it. $She closed $her eyes, rubbed $her hand against $her $shirt, and looked at it again. "Your hand," murmured Juliana, scrambling to her feet. "It's glowing." A quartet of very rough looking individuals stepped into the flickering yellow glow cast by the damaged streetlight. "They're called glosticks, ya dumb bitch," said the thug in the middle of the group. She had broad shoulders, heavily muscled arms and legs, and pale skin. She folded her arms. One foot tapped impatiently against the asphalt. Her fingers ran up and down her bicep. She wore a pair of loose-fitting black jeans, and black combat boots. A heavy looking chain hung from her jeans. A leather jacket liberally spotted with small metal studs adorned her shoulders, a skintight, v-necked black shirt beneath it. Her hair was pulled up into a huge, rainbow-colored mohawk, making her appear even taller than her six feet. A small nasal stud decorated her right nostril. [["\"But I don't have a glostick...\""|ep1d1_meet_buzzsaw]]<br> [["\"Oh no.\""|ep1d1_meet_buzzsaw]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_meet_buzzsaw]]<br>Juliana flashed a smile. "Hi! Decided to see the sights, you know? But we've seen them now, so we'll be on our way!" The thug threw her head back and laughed uproariously. Her thugs laughed along with her. "Did you hear that? Fucking bitch actually thinks we're gonna let her leave with a car that can fuck up a goddamn street lamp, and live to tell the tale! You know what I can do with a car like that?" Juliana's lips thinned. "You really need to watch your language. What would your mother say?" "Who cares," said the thug. "Now hand over the car. I'd pay ya, but I'm between paychecks right now, you know how it is." Blood pounded against $name's ears. Her skin buzzed, and a crimson mist fell over $her eyes. [["\"Paycheck? YOU have a job?\""|ep1d1_insult_hoodlum]]<br> [["\"Go to hell\""|ep1d1_go_to_hell]]<br> [["\"Let me guess. Town drunk? Oh, don't be ashamed. Good, honorable career. The smell of old piss and incoherent rambling just add a certain, irreplaceable spice to the local ambiance.\""|ep1d1_mock_hoodlum]]<br>$name nearly choked. The hell did that come from? "What's that supposed mean?" The woman stepped forward and <<height 'towered over' 'loomed over' 'glared eye-to-eye at'>> $name. "Well, I mean, look at yourself," said $name. "You look like the inbred offspring of a butt-faced monkey and rusty tractor trailer." The woman's brow furrowed. "Do you...do you know the meanings of any of the words you just used?" "Ooh! Did you hear that? She knows the word meanings! I didn't think she had it in her!" $name wiped a fake tear from $her eye. "So proud." "Nobody mocks Buzzsaw." The woman slapped $name across the face. There was a muted thud, like $name's head was covered in padding. $Her head snapped to the side, and $she stumbled back a step. $She didn't feel anything more than an impact, like getting thumped on the back by a friend. Juliana screamed. Buzzsaw looked down at her palm, then up at $name. "The fuck? Your face made of brick?" $name swayed back and forth on $her feet, feeling giddy and drunk. $She grinned. [["\"Maybe you should lay off the lotion.\""|ep1d1_insult_hoodlum_1]]<br> [["\"Doesn't need to be, hands like yours.\""|ep1d1_insult_hoodlum_1]]<br> [["\"Don't know why you'd think that.\""|ep1d1_insult_hoodlum_1]]<br>Buzzsaw's brow furrowed. "$She's implying that your hands are soft and effeminate, boss," said one of the thugs. "Nobody calls Buzzsaw's hands soft," roared Buzzsaw. She grabbed $name and raised her fist. "MY PALMS ARE STEEL!" $name kicked Buzzsaw in the shin. "Shit! Fuck! Son of a bitch!" Buzzsaw hopped back, clutching at her leg. "Beat $her <<bodytype 'scrawny' 'fat' 'fat'>> ass!" The three thugs approached, cracking their knuckles. A small voice in the back of $name's head screamed in terror, but the rest buzzed. The air seemed to pulse, and $name could barely see through the red mist that filled the air. [["\"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit oh shit!\""|ep1d1_battle_description]]<br> [["\"Bring it dandelions.\""|ep1d1_battle_description]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_battle_description]]<br>"Are you mocking me?" hissed the hoodlum. She <<height 'towered over' 'loomed over' 'glared eye-to-eye at'>> $name. "Nobody mocks Buzzsaw." "Personal space," said $name. $She put $her hand on the woman's chest and pushed back. The woman grabbed $name's wrist and swung her fist at $name's face. The fist slammed into $name's nose, and bounced off. $name's head snapped backward beneath the impact, but $she felt nothing more than a soft thump, like being hit by a pillow. The woman reeled backwards, her arm snapping over her head. "The fuck..." hissed the woman. Her teeth pulled back in a snarl, and she lurched forward. "I'm going to-" $name backpedaled. $She tripped over something and fell on $her ass. A high-heeled shoe struck $her hand. $She grabbed it and flung it at Buzzsaw's face, getting her right in the eye. Buzzsaw howled in pain, and clutched at her eyes. "Shit! Fuck! Bitch! Shit-fucking bitch! Beat $her ass!" $name stumbled to $her feet and found $herself facing off against three hoodlums cracking their knuckles. $name raised clenched fists. A small voice in the back of $her head screamed in terror, but the rest buzzed. The air seemed to pulse, and $name could barely see through the red mist that filled the air. [["\"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit oh shit!\""|ep1d1_battle_description]]<br> [["\"Bring it dandelions.\""|ep1d1_battle_description]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_battle_description]]<br>$name's heart leapt into $her throat. This was not going to end well. This was not going to end well. This- "Do you have any idea who I am?" snarled the woman. "Um-" "I'm Buzzsaw, bitches!" roared the woman, throwing her fists in air. "Nobody tells Buzzsaw to go to hell! Nobody!" Buzzsaw lunged forward and swung her fist at $name's nose. $name's head jerked backwards under the force of the blow, but the impact was dull and distant, like $name had been hit through several layers of thick padding. Buzzsaw reeled backward. "The fuck? Your face made of brick?" $name kicked Buzzsaw in the shin. Buzzsaw hopped on one leg, clutching her shin with both hands. "Goddamn son of a butt-fucked pig corpse! Beat $her ass!" $name's ears buzzed as the trio of hoodlums closed in. The red mists pulsed in time to $her heartbeat. Everything seemed to go in slow motion. [["\"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit oh shit!\""|ep1d1_battle_description]]<br> [["\"Bring it dandelions.\""|ep1d1_battle_description]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_battle_description]]<br>One of the thugs grabbed $name by the arm. $name yelped and shoved him in the chest. He went rolling across the ground like he'd been shoved by an elephant. Another grabbed $name from behind, wrapping his arms around $her chest and pinning $her arms to $her side. $name stomped on his foot, broke his hold as easily as if he were made of paper, and flipped him over $her shoulder. The third hoodlum punched $name in the chest. He yelped and grabbed his fist. "Fuck! That was like punching a brick wall!" $name punched him in the gut. He collapsed, clutching his stomach and gasping. "The hell are you?" cried one of the hoodlums. $name towered over them, $her chest heaving, skin buzzing, and blood pumping. "What was that you said about beating my ass?" Buzzsaw punched $name in the chest. $name flew backwards and slammed into the streetlamp. Juliana shrieked. Buzzsaw stared down at her fist, at $name, back down at her fist. She grinned. [["\"No! Get away from me!\""|ep1d1_after_first_battle_a]]<br> [["\"Leave me alone!\""|ep1d1_after_first_battle_a]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_after_first_battle_a]]<br>$name's vision narrowed in a haze of red. Buzzsaw swung. $name fell on $her ass, the large fist ruffling $her hair. Buzzsaw raised her massive arms above her head and roared in rage. $name's head rocked back, like it'd been kicked by a mule. The haze clouding $her vision swirled into a beam and smashed into Buzzsaw's chest. Buzzsaw stumbled backwards and collapsed. $name stared. "Did you-" Juliana grabbed $name's arm and yanked $herm to $her feet. "Come on, let's get out of here." Juliana yanked open the car door, and shoved $name in. She scrambled around to the other side. Buzzsaw leapt to her feet and charged the car. Juliana put the car in reverse, and gunned it. Buzzsaw grabbed the front bumper, laughing maniacally. The car didn't move. [["\"Come on go go go.\""|ep1d1_after_first_battle_1]]<br> [["\"Must go faster. Must go faster!\""|ep1d1_after_first_battle_1]]<br> [["\"Might want to step on it.\""|ep1d1_after_first_battle_1]]<br>"I'm going, I'm going, I'm going," said Juliana. "But we're not moving." Buzzsaw pulled a whistle out of a pocket in her jacket and blew on it. The piercing tone echoed up and down the street. Shouts and running filled the night air. "Oh boy," said Juliana. "The Whistlers. She's a member of the Whistlers." Juliana shifted the car into drive, and slammed on the gas. The car lurched forward. $name shrieked, and everything almost vanished in a red haze. The car slammed into Buzzsaw, and pinned her against the lamppost. "That does it," snarled the thug. She started to slowly push the car backwards. "You fuckers are so ransomed!" Juliana whipped open the driver side door. [["\"What are you doing?\""|ep1d1_after_first_battle_1a]]<br> [["\"Where are you going?\""|ep1d1_after_first_battle_1a]]<br> [[Stare at Juliana.|ep1d1_after_first_battle_1a]]<br>"Run!" $name shoved the door open, and stumbled out. Juliana bolted towards the dark buildings. $name bolted after her. As the two vanished into the dark, they heard one last cry from Buzzsaw. "Run all you want Glo$girl! You can't escape me! By the time I'm done with you, you'll wish you'd never heard the name BUZZSAW!" The two charged down a side street, running until the car was well out of sight. The two hunkered down in the shadowed doorway of a decrepit office building. Juliana put her hands on her head and sucked in long, deep breaths. $name put $her hands on $her knees and tried not to pass out. [["\"What the fuck...What the fuck...\""|ep1d1_what_the_fuck]]<br> [["\"What is going on?\""|ep1d1_what_is_going_on]]<br>"Watch your language," wheezed Juliana. "Watch my language?" hissed $name. "After all the shit that just happened, you want me to watch my motherfucking language?" "Swearing solves nothing, and makes you sound like an idiot," said Juliana. Her eyes scanned the darkness. "I don't give a fuck!" snapped $name. "Did you not see what just happened?" "No, I slept through the whole thing," said Juliana. She threw $name a disgusted look. "Take a breath, and calm down-" "Calm down?" said $name, $her voice rising into a high-pitched whine. "Shh!" Juliana covered $name's mouth with her hand. "Would you please keep quiet? We're being stalked by a gang in case you hadn't noticed. A rather vicious gang from what I hear. They got the BMB market cornered, and how do you think they did that? So. Keep. Quiet." $name nodded, and Juliana removed her hand. "And keep that glowing thing down. You're like a beacon." [["\"You ask like I know how to control the fucking thing.\""|ep1d1_what_the_fuck_1]]<br> [["\"Goddammit Juli, I have no idea how to 'keep that glowing thing down!'\""|ep1d1_what_the_fuck_1]]<br>"Well, you'd better learn," said Juliana. "And stop swearing." "Fine, why don't you take it then?" said $name, shoving $her hand into Juliana's face. "I didn't sign up to be a fucking walking fucking night fucking light." Juliana took $name's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Sorry. It's just, my head is killing me and I'm scared, and weirded out, and I just want to go home and get paddled by Sam for missing curfew." The red mist faded some, and $name ran a hand through $her hair. $She smiled weakly. "Bet you never thought you'd say that." Juliana returned the smile. "Don't tell Sam? I'd never live it down." $name made the motion of locking $her lips with a key. Juliana laughed quietly, then winced. "I thought I was supposed to get the hangover after I woke up." [["\"Tell me about it.\""|ep1d1_run_from_car]]<br> [["\"Maybe this is all just an alcohol-fueled fever dream.\""|ep1d1_run_from_car]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_run_from_car]]<br>"Clearly you and Buzzsaw back there have superpowers," said Juliana. Her eyes scanned the darkness. "Absurd," muttered $name, rubbing a hand over $her face. "Absurd." "You got a better explanation for how she punched you into a streetlamp without shattering every bone in your body? Or how about how you sent her flying a good twenty feet with a frickin' laser beam? Or for that matter how you've turned into a Christmas display?" $name shook $her head, and scratched $her arm. "What the hell is going on, Juliana? You're the physics major." Juliana rolled her eyes. "For about a week. And I'm pretty sure neither classical nor relativistic physics have anything to say about glowing people." $name scratched $her leg. "God, I wish my skin would stop burning." "Sounds kind of like my head," said Juliana. "I've had some pretty killer headaches, but this one is, I don't know if it's the worst I've ever had, but it certainly feels weird." "So, what now?" asked $name, peering anxiously into the shadows. "I don't know," said Juliana. "Ideally we want to find a way back to the car, and then hightail it out of here." <<include ep1d1_run_from_car>><br>Juliana tried the door. It eased open with a painfully loud creak. "Come on. We need find something to take Buzzsaw down. So long as she's conscious I don't think we're getting out of here." <<include ep1d1_empty_business>><br>$name and Juliana entered the building. They eased the door shut, and $name leaned against it. Juliana frowned. "That forcefield thing is probably taking a lot out of you. Try not to use it more than necessary." "I'll try," said $name. "Don't really know how, but whatever." Juliana explored the office building. "There's a lot of junk here. Like more junk than Mamas' got, and I didn't even think that was possible. Most of it looks recent, too." $name grunted. $She rested the back of $her head against the door and closed $her eyes. [[Take five.|ep1d1_breather]]<br>The door burst open, knocking $name on $her face. Two hoodlums holding stun batons stepped inside. Stun batons carried a slight charge. The charge wasn't enough to do serious damage to most people, but was enough to convince them that resisting was a very bad idea. "Well, well, looks like we found them," said one of the hoodlums. "Come quietly, and we won't hurt you." "Can't promise nothing about the boss though," said the other with a grin. "She was looking pretty pissed. And when Buzzsaw gets pissed, asses get thrashed." "Hey," said the other hoodlum. "I kinda like that. It rhymes." "No it doesn't," said the first hoodlum. "Aww, come on. Ass and thrash? You don't hear it? Aww, don't look at me like that. They totally do. Right?" The hoodlum looked at $name. [["\"No. No they don't. Now skeddadle and tell nobody about us.\""|ep1d1_breather_1]]<br> [["\"Sure. Whatever. Now skeddadle and tell nobody about us.\""|ep1d1_breather_1]]<br> [["\"If you know what's good for you, you'd skeddadle and tell nobody about us.\""|ep1d1_breather_1]]<br>"I'll be damned, one of them does glow," said the other hoodlum. "Thought the boss'd had one too many BMB's or something." The first hoodlum gave the second a disgusted look. "That's not how BMB's work dumbass." "Whatever." The thugs took a step towards $name. "This is your last chance," said $name, backing up another step. "Leave us be or I'll...I'll-" "Do what?" asked the first hoodlum with a grin. "Spank you!" blurted out $name. The two hoodlums paused, and looked $name over. "Yeah, I'm not too worried." The first hoodlum whipped the stun baton at $name's head. $name grabbed the baton and shoved the thug back a step. [["\"Don't say I didn't warn you.\""|ep1d1_empty_business_fight]]<br>The second hoodlum cracked her stun baton between $name's shoulder blades. $name's red glow flared to life where the baton struck. An hour ago, that would have bee enough to leave $name curled up on the ground sobbing in pain. But that was an hour ago. Now, $name barely felt it. $She whirled and grabbed the baton, crushing it in $her fist. The woman's eyes widened. $name socked her good in the chest. The first thug lunged at $name, and swung his baton at $her face. The baton bounced off $name's cheek, eliciting a sudden flare of crimson light. $name kicked the thug where no man wants to be kicked. He dropped his baton and fell to the ground. $name kicked the baton to the far side of the lobby, and glared down at the two hoodlums. One of them was curled into the fetal position, groaning faintly, while the other was on her back, staring up at $name with wide eyes. $name grabbed the second hoodlum by the shirt and lifted her into the air as easily as a child lifting a doll. The Whistler whimpered pitifully and clung to $name's wrist. $name hesitated. "Please, don't hurt me," said the hoodlum. [["\"Tsk tsk tsk. Your memory is downright dreadful. Don't you remember? I promised you a spanking.\""|ep1d1_empty_business_spank_hoodlum]]<br> [["\"Just tell me what I want to know, and nobody will be hurt.\""|ep1d1_empty_business_want_to_know]]<br>"Wait, you were serious?" said the hoodlum. "Of course I'm serious. If there's one thing my parents taught me, it's not to make threats you aren't willing to carry out," said $name. "But-yee!" <<set $spanker to $spanker + 1>><br> [[Go into a lunge and pull the hoodlum over your knee.|ep1d1_empty_business_otk]]<br> [[Shove the hoodlum face first against the wall|ep1d1_empty_business_the_wall]]<br>"Oww! Hey, come on we were just trying to scare ya!" The hoodlum's knees and elbows banged against the concrete floor. "You swung a stun baton at me." $name grabbed the hoodlum's pants and started slowly tugging the painted-on jeans down to the thug's knees. "Only 'cause punching doesn't seem to hurt you," said the hoodlum. "Come on, show a little mercy will ya? I had no choice." $name finally managed to get the accursed jeans down to the thug's knee's exposing a small, heart-shaped bottom. $name cracked $her hand against the thug's bottom. The thug yelped. "Son of a bitch, your hand hurts worse than-oww!" $name landed a fierce blow to her left cheek, making the muscular cheek jump. When $she pulled $her hand away, $she left a bright red print behind. $name's hand snapped up and down in long, sweeping swings. Each stroke made the hoodlum rock on $name's knee, and elicited small, high pitched yelps from the thug's throat. "Aww come on," wailed the thug. "At least not over your knee! It's so embarassing." [["\"Poor baby.\""|ep1d1_empty_business_otk_1]]<br> [["\"That's the idea, dumbass.\""|ep1d1_empty_business_otk_1]]<br> [["\"Exactly.\""|ep1d1_empty_business_otk_1]]<br>$name watched the hoodlum's bare ass bounce beneath $her flat hand, feeling a bit of satisfaction as the jiggling skin turned as red as $name's weird-ass glow. "Gonna attack me again?" "No," wailed the hoodlum. "You ever gonna attack anyone ever again?" asked $name, raising $her voice to be heard over the sharp smacks and pitiful wails. "Umm, yes?" $name's lips thinned. $She tightened $her grip on the small of the hoodlum's back. "Aww, come on," said the hoodlum. "A woman's gotta eat." $name struck the hoodlum's left cheek with a bone-jarring blow that jolted $name's arm, and made the hoodlum howl. $name snapped $her arm up, and unleashed a matching strike to the hoodlum's right cheek. Then left, then right, then left again, one full-forced blow after another. The hoodlum wailed and sobbed like a four year old. $name shook $her hand. [["\"Man, that stings. And don't even get me started on my elbow.\""|ep1d1_empty_business_otk_2]]<br> [["\"Man, when Papa said 'This hurts me more than it does you' he wasn't kidding.\""|ep1d1_empty_business_otk_2]]<br> [["\"Ouch.\""|ep1d1_empty_business_otk_2]]<br>The thug whimpered. $name clapped $her hand against the hoodlum's ass, eliciting a small yelp. "So, you gonna attack anyone else?" "No..." "Good." $name let the hoodlum stand. The thug danced in place, rubbing her bottom and mewling. [["\"I have some questions. Answer them or I'll start over.\""|ep1d1_empty_business_want_to_know]]<br> [["\"Now, you're gonna answer a few questions. Or we'll see what this glow can do.\""|ep1d1_empty_business_want_to_know]]<br> [["\"Answer my questions. Now.\""|ep1d1_empty_business_want_to_know]]<br>$name spun the hoodlum around and pressed her against the wall. $name unbuttoned the hoodlum's jeans and wiggled them down. "Dammit, girl," said $name as $she struggled with the jeans. "Could your pants get any tighter?" "Could your voice get any more obnoxious?" asked the hoodlum in a high-pitched, mocking voice. $name finally got the stupid pants down, revealing a small, curved bottom clad in a pair of tight boy shorts. As soon as they were down, $name's hand whipped through the air and slapped the hoodlum's right cheek. The hoodlum yelped and hopped onto her toes, her cheek wobbling beneath the harsh smack. "You miserable little brat," said $name, each word punctuated with a sharp smack to one of the hoodlum's bare cheeks. "It's bad enough you rats have to try to mug us after getting in a crash, but now you're gonna mock me too?" The hoodlum yelped and jumped. She pulled her hips against the brick wall. $name leaned over and smacked the hoodlum's thigh, right below where bum meets leg. The hoodlum squealed. [["\"Stick your butt out, brat.\""|ep1d1_empty_business_the_wall_a]]<br> [["\"Come on. Push your bottom out.\""|ep1d1_empty_business_the_wall_a]]<br> [["\"Butt. Out. Now.\""|ep1d1_empty_business_the_wall_a]]<br>"No!" The hoodlum reached back to shield her bum. "When Buzzsaw finds out-" "Fine." $name wrapped $her arm around the hoodlum's waist, and bodily dragged her a few inches from the wall. $She pushed down on the hoodlum's back with $her elbow, and forced the struggling thug to bend over $name's hip. A small voice in $name's head marveled at the ease with which $she manhandled the hoodlum. <<height 'Especially considering how much bigger the hoodlum was. 'Especially considering the two were about the same size.' 'Even with the huge height advantage it was still college kid of questionable athletic skill versus street tough.'>> Whatever. $name unleashed a flurry of furious smacks to the hoodlum's upthrust bottom, making the hoodlum swear, kick and flail. She rocked her hips in pain. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" wailed the hoodlum, clutching $name's calf in an iron grip. "Please, stop, I'll do anything just sto-op!" "Pathetic," muttered the other hoodlum. "You shut up!" snarled $name's victim. "This $bitch's got a hand of fucking steel." [["\"Excuse me?\""|ep1d1_empty_business_the_wall_1]]<br> [["\"What did you just call me?\""|ep1d1_empty_business_the_wall_1]]<br> [["\"Interesting choice of words.\""|ep1d1_empty_business_the_wall_1]]<br>The hoodlum laughed a high-pitched laugh. "Umm, it was just a word you know? Like dude, or babe or something." $name unleashed half a dozen hard, fast smacks to the hoodlum's sitspots, making her buck and squeal. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" wailed the hoodlum, drumming her fist against the wall, and stomping one of her feet. "Now, you gonna assault anyone ever again?" asked $name. "What? Of course I am. I'm in a gang-oww!" "Wrong answer." $name bent over slightly, and began smacking the hoodlum's sitspots with sharp, heavy blows. The hoodlum wiggled and squirmed, yelping and crying. "OK, OK, I won't try to kick anyone's ass, I swear!" [["\"Good. Now I have a few questions.\""|ep1d1_empty_business_want_to_know]]<br> [["\"Glad to hear it.

"Through the door?" "I meant out of this damned district and away from you Whistlers or whatever." $name gave the Whistler a shake. "Ok, ok," said the hoodlum. "Umm, well, there's a big ol' factory north, uh, northeast of here a bit. Two stories. There's a couple of wooden boards across the tops of the roofs. Can run across them to the edge of the park. All the buildings got fire escapes, too." "Cool." $name tossed the hoodlum on top of her buddy. Juliana came out of the shadows. "Come on, we've dawdled too long. If Buzzsaw is halfway competent, she's probably got her minions checking in regularly. These two will be missed soon." [["\"Where the hell have you been?\""|ep1d1_empty_business_want_to_know_1]]<br> [["\"What the hell took you?\""|ep1d1_empty_business_want_to_know_1]]<br>"Language." Juliana ran a hand through her hair. "I was rooting through all that crap back there, trying to find something useful." "Did you?" "I found some rope we can use to tie these two up, but other than that..." Juliana shrugged. The two took a second to tie up the Whistlers, then slipped back out into the dark, gang-infested park. $name and Juliana followed the thug's directions and found the factory with minimal issue. They slipped in. Most of the factory was a giant room cluttered with rusted machinery, busted belts, rotted boxes, and bits of metal and plastic. $name peered into the shadows, but saw nothing but vague rectangular and cylindrical shapes. "You sure this place has a way out?" hissed $name. "Yes, because I magically know everything there is to know about a long-abandoned office park," hissed back Juliana. "Of course I don't know. Now come on. The sooner we look around, the sooner-hey, I think I see some stairs-" "What was that?" asked $name. Her breath stopped, and $her eyes skipped from shadow to shadow. There was a shout and a trio of figures charged out of the shadows from left, right, and forward, screaming at the top of their lungs. [["\"No, get away from me!\""|ep1d1_empty_business_want_to_know_1a]]<br> [["\"For the love of God, leave. Me.

The worst of the red mist faded, and one of the hoodlums was nowhere to be seen. The other two hoodlums skidded to a stop and stared at $name with wide eyes. "Oh my god, you killed Kenny!" cried one of them, pointing at $name. "You bastard!" cried the other, also pointing. "My name's not Kenny, jackasses," said a voice from darkness in the back of the building. "Aww, come on, haven't you ever seen South Park?" "That show sucks. And only old people watch it anyway." "Blasphemy!" "Carmen is a psychotic, utterly unlikeable..." "It's Cartman jackass. And that's the whole point!" "Let's see if we can ease past them," said Juliana. One of the thugs spun to face them. "Hey, where do you think you're going?" [["\"Oh shut up and come here so I can kick your asses\""|ep1d1_creepy_factory_leave]]<br> [["\"We're uh, just gonna be going now. No need to stop your discussion. I can see the stairs from here.\""|ep1d1_creepy_factory_leave]]<br>The thugs looked at $name, paying careful attention to $her glowyness. "So, um, think we should-" "Buzzsaw will be pissed if we don't." "I guess that's true. You first." "No, you." "Don't even think of looking at me. I'm clearly too badly injured." "Yes, yes, $she shot you, booh-hoo." "With a laser beam! Out of $her eyes!" "How terrible for you." "I don't see you attacking $herm!" "Whatever." "So how about the two of us take $herm down together, we take all the credit, and Terry takes the blame?" "Hey, no fair! Did you not see me get shot? I'm a casualty! Should get a purple heart or some shit!" "Nobody cares. Charge!" <<include ep1d1_third_fight>><br>[[Dump these two with their buddy Terry.|ep1d1_creepy_factory_fight]]<br>Two energy beams from $name's eyes took them out before they could even get close. The two hoodlums lay on the floor in the fetal position, groaning in pain. "That $bitch's unreal." "Or we suck." "I like mine better." "Me too." "Good job," said Juliana, clapping $name on the shoulder. "Wonder if they-" A crash echoed through the factory. $name spun back towards the door as it burst open and half a dozen Whistlers poured in. "Cell phone, dumbass!" shouted the hoodlum $name laser-beamed. Juliana grabbed $name's wrist and tugged $herm towards the stairs. They ran up the stairs, Juliana slamming the door shut behind them. "That sheet of iron, quick grab it!" [["\"The hell is a giant sheet of iron doing here?\""|ep1d1_creepy_factory_victory_1]]<br> [["\"Weird. I wonder why it's here.\""|ep1d1_creepy_factory_victory_1]]<br>$name snapped it up and wedged it against the door. "Don't know, don't care," said Juliana. "Should hold them for a bit, hopefully long enough for us to get out of this madhouse." $name turned to look out across the roof. The roof pitched, and $name stumbled. $She grabbed Juliana's shoulder. The roof righted itself. "You ok?" asked Juliana. "For a second there, you looked like you were gonna pass out." "I don't know how much longer I can keep this up," said $name. "We need to get out, and get out now." Juliana nodded. "Come on, I think I see a couple of wooden boards across the roof." As the two started across the roof, a loud banging resounded throughout the night air. Clearly the hoodlums now knew the door was blocked. They were probably already looking for something to break it down. $name and Juliana reached the edge of the next building and looked out across the street. They could just make out Juliana's car, still miraculously undamaged. "Check that out, only two thugs. Most of them must be out looking for us," said Juliana. "What do you think, can your glowy mojo get us over there?" [["\"Sure, why not?\""|ep1d1_buzzsaw]]<br> [["\"I don't know.

Her vision almost vanished beneath a red haze. There was a deafening crunch of metal, and $she felt a faint impact against $her back. When the red haze faded, $she found $herself lying in the middle of a smashed air conditioning unit. $She pushed $herself to $her feet, and looked back towards Juliana. Juliana was nowhere in sight. Instead, all $she could see was Buzzsaw, standing where Juliana had been a moment before. She held a very thick and heavy looking chain in one hand. A lunatic grin split her face. "Not too shabby eh?" said Buzzsaw. She leapt at $name, fist leading, sailing far farther and faster than was humanly possible. $name back-pedaled. Buzzsaw landed and backhanded $herm through more of the air conditioning unit. Buzzsaw grabbed $name by the shoulder and hair, and gave $herm a vicious shake. "You ain't got shit on-" [["\"Yo mama ain't got shit on me!\""|ep1d1_buzzsaw_a]]<br> [["\"Personal. SPACE!\""|ep1d1_buzzsaw_a]]<br> [[Snarl.|ep1d1_buzzsaw_a]]<br>$name punched Buzzsaw in the face with all $her might. Buzzsaw stumbled backwards. A spring manifested around $name's fist, and $she rammed it against Buzzsaw's chest. The spring coiled with a great SPROING. Buzzsaw flew sideways, her head plowing through more of the air conditioning unit. $name charged and swung again. $She struck Buzzsaw in the gut, and sent her skidding backwards across the roof. $She jumped up on top of what remained of the unit and fired $her eye beams, striking Buzzsaw in the chest. Buzzsaw slammed into the edge of the roof, and held on until the beam faded. "Alright. You've shown me yours. Now let me show you mine!" Buzzsaw charged forward, her head down and massive mohawk leading. She leapt into the air and whipped her mohawk at $name's face. $name twisted and fell off the air conditioning unit, the mohawk missing $herm by inches. The hair sliced through the steel outer-casing of the air conditioning unit like a hot knife through warm butter. "Didja see that?" roared Buzzsaw. She tore her head free of the unit, sending bits of metal and wire flying. [["\"Yeah.

I could be like, president or some shit." [["\"Pretty sure power tools aren't allowed to be president.\""|ep1d1_buzzsaw_2]]<br> [["\"You're a lunatic.\""|ep1d1_buzzsaw_2]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_buzzsaw_2]]<br>$name's heel bumped up against the lip of the roof. Buzzsaw's grin widened. "Course, I'm gonna need a sweet ride if I wanna be president. So, give me the car. With that baby, I'll be INDESTRUCTIBLE!" $name's fists clenched, and $she unleashed another crimson blast. The beam struck Buzzsaw in the chest, but as soon as it faded, Buzzsaw lunged forward. $name rammed $her spring against Buzzsaw's chest, coiled, released and sent Buzzsaw back through the remnants of the air conditioner. Buzzsaw yanked herself back on to the roof and charged $name. "GUESS I'LL JUST HAVE TO BEAT IT OUT OF YOU!"

You're getting smacked over jeans. You should be barely feeling it," said $name. "Your hand hurts," snarled Buzzsaw. She grabbed something from around her neck and lifted it to her mouth. $name snatched the whistle out of her hands and tossed it off into the darkness. "My whistle," wailed Buzzsaw.

"Christ, your pants are tight," said $name. "I swear, it was easier to snap that stupid chain." "Fuck you." "Such language," said $name. $She managed to get the jeans down just past the hoodlum's round, muscular bottom, exposing a small black thong. The jeans pressed up slightly on the thug's cheeks, making them protrude even more than they did already. "Fortunately, I have just the cure for that." $name picked up the belt, doubled it, and wrapped it around $her hand a few times. "What are-No! You're not-oww!" Buzzsaw bucked frantically as the thick leather kissed her exposed bottom. "Stop. That's mine. That's for beating my minions, not meee!" "All the more reason you should get a few licks from it," said $name, snapping the belt across both cheeks simultaneously. "A true leader never doles out a punishment she is not willing to take herself." "Aww fuck off."

The hoodlum squealed and kicked through each one, her big bottom bucking and bouncing with each crisp snap. "Not so tough now, are you?" asked $name. $She struck each of Buzzsaw's sitspots in a quick one-two. "When I get up, I'm going to KICK YOUR ASS," said Buzzsaw, bucking thrashing, and almost toppling off of $name's knee. Almost. $name shook $her head. "Clearly, I'm not getting through to you." $name raised the belt high above $her head, and brought it down hard on Buzzsaw's left cheek. Buzzsaw wailed and kicked. $name raised the belt again, and snapped it down across Buzzsaw's right cheek. A small sob escaped Buzzsaw's lips. [["\"What's that?

Buzzsaw unleashed a sound somewhere between a growl and a sob. "Ok, I know you're having fun, but I think it's time to go." Juliana appeared on $name's right, out of Buzzsaw's sight. "The hell you been?" asked $name, the belt held aloft in mid-stroke. "Around." Juliana grabbed $name's wrist. "Come on! I've slowed the Whistlers down some, but not a whole lot." "Alright, alright." $name shoved Buzzsaw off $her lap, and tossed the belt onto the thug's bright red ass. "Sorry about cutting things short. I'll send you a refund." Buzzsaw curled into a ball, and turned a teary glare on $name. "I'm going to hunt you down and rip your spine out through your eyeballs." [["\"Pretty sure that's not how human anatomy works.

Then, $she unbuttoned the jeans and started to inch them down. "Christ, your pants are tight," muttered $name. "How the hell do you get them on? Lubricant?" Buzzsaw grabbed $name's ankle and gave it a savage yank. Suddenly, $name was doing a split, whether $she wanted to or not. "Oww," wheezed $name. "Crotch. Split. Horrible." Buzzsaw rolled off of $name's lap, and scrambled to her feet. For a second, she started pull her pants up, but then decided to just run off, her little black thong and big, bulky ass hanging out. $name growled, and fell/pushed $herself to $her feet. Then $she took off after the hoodlum. "You are not getting away from me! Not after that little stunt!" Buzzsaw threw the bird over her shoulder. She saw how close $name was and squeaked. She pivoted and ran around the remnants of the air conditioning unit. $name jumped over the unit, and landed right next to Buzzsaw. Buzzsaw yelped. $name grabbed Buzzsaw's wrist, spun her around, landed three sharp smacks to her exposed cheeks, and shoved her facefirst against the wall. $name tugged Buzzsaw's jeans down to her ankles. [["\"You know, wearing pants that tight isn't good for you.\""|ep1d1_boss_victory_hand_a]]<br> [["\"No way are you getting away that easily.\""|ep1d1_boss_victory_hand_a]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_boss_victory_hand_a]]<br>$name smacked Buzzsaw's exposed bottom. "Fuck off," said Buzzsaw with a vicious kick backwards (that missed). $name retaliated with a bevy of hard smacks to Buzzsaw's sitspots, making Buzzsaw's big tight ass quiver, her hips rock, and her vocal cords squeal. "Man, you are like the quintessential bully," said $name, $her flat hand cracking against Buzzsaw's vulnerable, squirming bottom. "All tough and mean until you meet someone who can fight back. Then you squeal like a schoolgirl getting her first spanking." "Going. Ahh! To. Kill. Aggh! You. Waah!" Buzzsaw bucked and squirmed, her thick ass jerking and twitching beneath $name's sharp smacks. $name sighed dramatically, and threw $her hands in the air. "This is ridiculous. Here I am, taking time out of my busy life to teach you the errors of your ways, and you threaten to kill me? How is that for gratitude?" "I'll show you gratitude!" Buzzsaw pushed off from the wall. $name pressed one hand hard against the small of Buzzsaw's back, and forced her back against the wall. $She hunched over a little, and unleashed a flurry of rapid smacks to Buzzsaw's ass that made it quiver, and filled the air with the sharp, echoing cracks of hard palm to hard bottom. After a solid minute of rapid-fire whaling, $name paused, and rubbed $her smarting palm against $her own thigh. Buzzsaw's face was buried in her arm.

"There's no fire escape on this building. We tore it out." "A trap," muttered $name. "That's right, and you walked right into it." Buzzsaw cackled. "And now my minions are bearing down on you at top speed. You've got only a few minutes before we overwhelm you. Then I'm gonna strip you, tie you to a table and beat-" $name looked out over the buildings, across the street and down at the car guarded only by two schmucks.

The post looked a bit dented, but none the worse for wear. "I'd kill for some web shooters." "-all over my shoes-" $name's wrist twitched. A crimson cord emerged from $her palm and started pooling at $her feet. "Convenient," said Juliana. "-goddamn cow!" $name threw $her hand out, and watched with a grin as the cord flew towards the street light. And then went taut. $name lurched, and teetered on the edge of the roof. Juliana yelped, and grabbed $her arm. $name stared at the cord, hovering in mid-air, tight as a tightrope. "Can't you make that thing any longer?" asked Juliana, glancing over her shoulder. "Aww man, they're carrying the wooden planks from the other bridge over here. They'll be crossing soon!"

For a second, $name felt a bit of vertigo. $She shook $her head, and stepped back. $Her legs were hardly glowing at all. "What?" Juliana followed $name's gaze. "So, you don't have any more glowy mojo? Oh dear." There was a massive clattering of many booted feet on wooden boards. $name glanced over $her shoulder, and saw a good half dozen hoodlums charge onto the roof. "Yes, my minions, yes. Get them. Get them. Bring them before me. Fetch my cane. And my crop. And my hairbrush." Shit shit shit shit. "And my bathbrush." $name snapped the cord back into $her wrist. "And my razor strop." "What are you doing?" Juliana's voice rose into a panic. "They're coming! They're coming!" [["\"Oh really?

A particle stunner whined, and there was a yelp of pain. "Shit! The bitch's got a stunner!" "And my frat paddle. BRING ME THE FRAT PADDLE!" $name hooked $her hand around Juliana's waist. $She coiled $her legs, and jumped with all $her might. "NO! NO! NO! Get them!

"Eat particles!" cried Juliana, firing a law enforcement standard issue particle stunner at the hoodlums crowding the roof.

The two hoodlums standing in front of the car cried out. $name pulled the glow back into $her hand, and flung a cord out at the lightpost. It flew, it flew, it started to stretch, it started to go taut- It wrapped around the head of the lightpost! $name swung down towards the car. $She lifted $her feet up to keep from slamming them into the concrete. One hoodlum dove out of the way. The other got kicked in the chest with enough force to send her rolling across the hood. $name drew some of the cord back into $her glow, lifting them just enough to clear the hood of the car. The two hit the apex of their swing, and started to swing back. The particle stunner whined half a dozen times more in rapid succession, followed by a crow of victory from Juliana. Twice more they swung back and forth. The cord unwrapped, and snapped back into $name's glow, even as it flew down to $her feet to cushion the landing. $She hit the ground hard, and fell to $her knees. "Come on, let's go!" cried Juliana. She stumbled free of $name's grasp, chucked the stunner into the night, and yanked open the driver side doors. The stunner exploded. $name pushed $herself back to $her feet, and stumbled into the backseat of the car. Juliana started the car, reversed away from the light pole, and sped into the night with tires squealing. [[Go home.|ep1d1_explain_lateness]]<br>$name fell to $her knees, and clutched $her gut. The crimson glow flickered and faded. "Well, well, looks like Glo$girl finally ran out of batteries," said Buzzsaw. She towered over $name with hands on hips and feet set wide apart.

[["\"Ye--\""|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave]]<br> [["\"Please--\""|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave]]<br>"My, my, such skimpy <<female 'underwear' ' panties'>>," said Buzzsaw, tugging on $name's small $underwear. She gave $name's bare right cheek a hard crack, making $name yelp. "Hardly appropriate for a proper $girl like you, don't you think? Clearly, someone needs to teach you a lesson." $name bit down on $her lower lip, and tried not to whimper as Buzzsaw struck $name's upthrust, exposed, vulnerable bottom with hard, flesh rippling strokes of the belt. $name's hips pulled in slightly with each smack, and $her feet inched closer to the air conditioning unit. [["\"Stop! Stop it hurts!

"I'm not even close to done." $name stuck $her butt back out, squealing and crying all the while. "Good. Nice to know you have some capacity for listening," said Buzzsaw. Her fingernails dug into the small of $name's back, and she struck $name's burning bottom with hard, body rocking blows. $name rested $her head against the wall, and buried $her fists in $her hair. [["\"Please...stop..\""|ep1d1_boss_defeat_scared_baring_panties_a]]<br> [["\"Owwwww!\""|ep1d1_boss_defeat_scared_baring_panties_a]]<br>"Do you have any idea how much trouble you've caused?" snarled Buzzsaw. She grabbed $name's hair and gave it a savage yank, forcing $name's head back, and $her back to arch more. Buzzsaw looped $her belt around her fist, and battered $name's quivering cheeks with the impromptu strap. "By the time I'm done with you, a warm summer breeze will be enough to make you squeal!" Buzzsaw turned sideways, wrapped her arm around $name's lower back, and pressed her hip against $name's. "You gonna try to stand up to me again?" asked Buzzsaw. $name ground $her teeth together. "Are. You. Going. To. Stand. Up. To. Me. Again?" asked Buzzsaw, punctuating each word with a hard stroke to one of $name's sitspots. $name yipped and stomped $her feet. "Do I need to get mean?" hissed Buzzsaw. [["\"Please--\""|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave]]<br>The spit caught Buzzsaw in the eye. Her head lurched back. "Son of a bitch!" Buzzsaw wiped at her face. "That's gross, you asshat. Who knows what kind of hideous diseases you have. You could have given me like explosive diarrhea or something." $name scrambled to $her feet and shoulder slammed the gang leader. And bounced off. Because superpowers. Buzzsaw grabbed $name by $her $shirt, and flung $herm across her lap. A rough hand grabbed $name's <<skirt>> and <<pantsskirt 'forced them down just past' ' yanked it up and over'>> $name's <<fat>> ass, exposing $her $underwear.

"You will not move," snarled Buzzsaw. There was a slithering hiss as Buzzsaw pulled her belt free. "By the time I'm done with you, you'll wish your mommy had never bent over and taken your daddy like the cocksucking slut she is." "Erm, how could she have bent over to 'take my daddy,' and been a cocksucker at the same time?" asked $name. There was a faint whistle and a loud snap. $name's jaw clenched. A thick line of fire blazed across $her naked cheeks. The belt whistled and snapped again. And again. And again. Each stroke left a blazing trail across $name's naked cheeks. $name ground $her palms together, and $her toes curled. $She forced $herself to take slow breaths and relax as the vicious belt licked $her burning, <<fat>> bottom over and over and over and over and over again. Finally, $name's legs started to kick a little, and $her hips squirmed. "About damn time," grunted Buzzsaw over the whistle-snap of the hideous belt. "My shoulder's starting to hurt."

"But not so tired I can't still beat you into submission, you miserable shit!" "You-oww!" wailed $name, wiggling and squirming beneath the leather. "I swear you'll pay-oww!" "What are you gonna do?" snarled Buzzsaw as she landed a hideous stroke across $name's thighs. "Cry all over me?" <<include ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave>><br>"No," said Juliana. Buzzsaw turned to the voice. There was a loud-pitched whine, and Buzzsaw flew over $name's body and rolled across the roof. Juliana straddled $name. She held a police model particle stunner with both hands. Buzzsaw grinned. "Found that lying around downstairs? Very impressive. And it would have worked. Yesterday." Buzzsaw stood and flexed. "But not anymore! Now, I am invincible!" "I will shoot you in the face if you take one step," said Juliana. Buzzsaw took a step. Juliana shot her in the face. Buzzsaw reared back and clutched her eye. "Oh my God! My eye! Oh the agony, the suffering! It is beyond anything I could have ever imagined!" "I warned-" "JK." Buzzsaw lowered her hands to reveal a psychotic grin. [["\"Oh God, let's get out of here.\""|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave_a]]<br> [["\"Get her in the other eye!\""|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave_a]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave_a]]<br>Juliana fired again. The beam struck Buzzsaw in the gut, but the lunatic's grin just widened. She took another step forward. Juliana fired again, and again, and again. With each shot, the weapon's whine got a bit more high-pitched. Every beam struck Buzzsaw in the chest, but they just made her grin wider. "That tickles," hissed the gang leader. "Do it again." Juliana let out a frightened mewling sound, and chucked the gun at Buzzsaw's face. Buzzsaw caught the weapon, and shook her head like a disappointed parent. "Tut tut. So naughty. I'm thinking Glo$girl isn't the only one who could use a good spanking." She crushed the weapon with a loud crackle. The stunner exploded. The entire building shook, $name's ears rang, and spots appeared in $her vision where Buzzsaw had been. "Yeah, prolly," said Juliana. "But I won't be getting it from you." She crouched and helped $name regain $her feet. [["\"What just happened? Stunners don't explode.\""|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave_b]]<br> [["\"Do stunners just explode like that?\""|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave_b]]<br>"Sure they do, when you make a few minor modifications to their power pack," said Juliana. "And you know how to do that?" $name blinked away the last of the spots and looked at Buzzsaw, who lay groaning at the far side of the roof. Juliana shrugged. "Well, I did do a paper on particle stunners in high school. A bit of that, plus some high school physics and chemistry, add a dash of sudden insight, and bam. You've got a hand grenade that can shoot people too." "Next question. The hell took you so long?" $name fixed $her clothing. "I could have used that save like five minutes ago." "I was busy slowing down Buzzsaw's-" There was a loud clatter, and shouting from the other rooftop. "Speak of the devils." Juliana tightened her grip on $name's arm. "Come on. We've got to get out of here. I'm clean out of stunners." The two half-ran, half-staggered to the edge of the roof. They looked down the wall. There was an old, rather wobbly looking flagpole, and a bunch of large-paned windows, but nothing else. "Aww poo baskets," said Juliana. "No fire escape. Don't suppose you've got any more of that crimson mojo?" [["\"I don't know.\""|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave_c]]<br> [["\"You really think I would've just let Buzzsaw beat me if I did?\""|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave_c]]<br> [[Shake your head.|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave_c]]<br>"Hurry you fools!" roared Buzzsaw (weakly). "Stop them! Stop them I say! Or I'll beat the skin off your asses instead!" "Looks like tall, bright, and obnoxious is awake," muttered Juliana. She threw a slightly desperate look at $name. $name focused on the bits of crimson light dancing about $herm. A few shreds gathered in $her hand, but they weren't enough to be a night light. "Then grab the other boards you fucking shitheads!" roared Buzzsaw. "Pleeease hurry," said Juliana, glancing behind them, and slapping $name frantically on the shoulder. [["\"Please shut up and let me concentrate.\""|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave_d]]<br> [["\"I'm hurrying, I'm hurrying.\""|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave_d]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave_d]]<br>A few more small scraps of light formed around $name's hand. $She sucked in a deep breath, $her chest heaving like $she'd just run a marathon. $Her head felt like it was full of helium. "Best I can do." Juliana peered over the edge of the roof. "Can you create like a rope or something?" $name focused on the scraps of light. Slowly, they formed into a cord. With a flick of a wrist, $she wrapped it around the flagpole. $She wrapped $her arm around Juliana's waist, and the two jumped. "NO!" roared Buzzsaw. "Get someone below! They're shimmying down the wall! GO!" The two half-slid, half-fell down the edge of the building. They hit the ground. $name stumbled, shocks of pain running up $her legs. Juliana wobbled, and nearly fell. She grabbed $name's arm and gave it a hard tug. "Come on!" Shouts rose from behind the two, followed by the sound of shoes smacking pavement. "Must go faster," said Juliana. [["\"You think? And here I was, looking forward to a leisurely stroll.\""|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave_e]]<br> [["\"Yeah, yeah going. Going.\""|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave_e]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_boss_defeat_leave_e]]<br>The scraps of glow that remained pooled around $name's feet and energy surged through $her legs. $name grabbed Juliana, slung her over $her shoulder, and ran. The two hoodlums guarding the car ran to intercept them. Scraps flowed into $name's fist, and $she punched first one, then the other. $She snatched open the driver door, and shoved Juliana in. $She yanked open the backdoor and dove in. Juliana started the car, rammed it into reverse, rocketed away from the pole, shoved it into drive, and bolted into the night with a squeal of tires. [[Drive home.|ep1d1_explain_lateness]]<br>They drove the rest of the way in silence. Juliana focused on the road, only occasionally flicking her eyes towards $name. $name sagged in $her seat, gasping and groaning. Eventually, they reached campus. They wound their way through the dark, empty streets to the dormitories at the back. Juliana eased the car into a parking spot, and turned it off. Silence. $name ran a shaking hand through $her hair. "Maybe next time we should just go to Late Night." Juliana laughed quietly. "Maybe." $name looked down at $her hand. The strange crimson glow had faded completely, and if it weren't for the fact that $she ached all over, $she'd think $she'd just imagined it all. Juliana sucked in a breath, and pushed the door open. "Come on. Let's get this over with. Just let me do the talking." [["\"Just make sure he doesn't spank us.

The door to the resident office swung open. Sam stood in the doorway, looking less than happy. Samuel Samson was a few years older than $name and Juliana, being a junior. He had long, toned legs, a fairly large, muscular bottom, washboard stomach, and a lean, toned chest and arms. He had short brown hair, and large brown eyes (currently narrowed). He wore a pair of fitted blue pajama pants, and a tight undershirt that managed to walk the line between comfortable and flattering. Sam glanced down at his watch. "It's twelve-thirty in the morning. Where have you two been?" Juliana stepped up to Sam, and gave him a winning smile. "Well-" Sam took Juliana's arm, spun her around, and gave her bottom a few sharp smacks, her ample bottom roiling under her tight dress. "Not from you. I want to hear from $name." "Oww!" Juliana hopped out of his reach and clutched her round bottom. "Why can't I answer?" "Because you're a fast-talking charmer," said Sam. "And it is way too late for me to parse your bullshit." Juliana crossed her arms over her ample chest and pouted. [["\"Dammit. I just want to go to bed.\""|ep1d1_sam_introduction_1]]<br> [["\"Told ya.\""|ep1d1_sam_introduction_1]]<br> [["\"Muttering: \"Stupid, goddamn curfew.\""|ep1d1_sam_introduction_1]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_sam_introduction_1]]<br>Sam glanced down at Juliana's feet. "Juliana, where are your shoes?" $name and Juliana followed Sam's gaze. Juliana went pale. "Please don't tell Mom," said Juliana, clutching Sam's arm. Sam grinned. "If for the rest of the night you don't say a word except when asked a direct question." Juliana worried her lower lip and nodded. "Excellent." Sam turned to $name and his grin vanished. "Now where the hell were you two?" [["\"Um, well, uh. You know. Out dancing, I guess.

Sam turned on his heel and walked into the office. "Come." When they entered the office, Sam pointed at the couch that dominated the middle of the room. $name and Juliana sat down. <<include ep1d1_sam_lie_in_office>><br>Sam clasped his hands behind his back and fixed the two with a firm stare. "Eleven. That's all we ask. Gives you plenty of time to have some fun, but not enough to get life-threatening drunk. It ensures that you get home before the bars close and drunks hit the road. It ensures we're not up all night worrying about where you are and if you're in trouble. So, what is so hard about being home by eleven? You both have phones don't you? Can neither of you be bothered to set an alarm? Do you have any idea how worried I was getting? I was about ready to call the police. And it turns out this whole time you were just out dancing? You couldn't even be bothered to answer the phone?" Juliana frowned. "Yeah, I called you. Both. Repeatedly. And neither one of you bothered to pick up. Did your phones die?" Juliana nodded. Sam sighed and massaged his forehead. "Look, I have a responsibility to look after you, make sure you don't do anything dangerous. And you have a responsibility to help me do that." <<set $spankee to $spankee + 1>> [["\"Yeah, yeah, safety blah blah, responsibility blah blah.

"Get up, and bend over the back of the couch," said Sam. Juliana stood. "Not you," said Sam. "Just $herm." Juliana sat back down, looking relieved (and more than a little amused). "Go to hell," said $name, crossing $her arms over $her chest and glaring at the door. "I'm going to stay out as long as I want, and you can't stop me." Sam pulled open a drawer at the bottom of the desk and pulled out two implements: a thick, long-handled bathbrush, and a wide, heavy hairbrush. "You have a choice. You can bare your ass and bend it over the couch, in which case you get the hairbrush, or I can bare your ass, and bend it over the couch, in which case you get the bathbrush." "What a choice," muttered $name. "Do I need to treat you like a toddler?" asked Sam. "Because I can start counting if you want me to." [["\"Fine.\""|ep1d1_over_couch_hairbrush]]<br> [[Flip Sam off.|ep1d1_over_couch_bathbrush]]<br>$name sighed dramatically and turned around. $She <<pantsskirt 'tugged' ' pulled'>> $her <<skirt>> <<pantsskirt 'down to' 'up and over the swell of'>> $her <<pantsskirt 'knees' 'bottom'>>. $She grabbed the waistband of $her $underwear and glanced at Sam. Sam's eyes flickered over the $underwear and <<skimpy 'rolled' 'gestured with'>> his <<baring 'eyes at how utterly exposed' 'hand to indicate'>> $name<<skimpy '\'s' ''>> <<baring 'cheeks were.' ' needed to pull the underwear down as well.'>> $name put $her knees on the couch cushion, and bent over the back of the couch. $Her torso hung freely with $her bare, <<fat>> cheeks thrust high in the air. $name braced $her hands against <<height 'a small step stool that sat behind the couch for exactly this purpose; a small step stool that sat behind the couch for exactly this purpose' ' against the cool tile floor' ' against the cool tile floor'>>. If there was ever a moment when that weird red glow needed to show up, now was that moment. Sam rested his hand lightly against the small of $name's back and began lightly tapping the hairbrush against $her <<sore 'sore' ' unmarked'>> bottom. <<sore '"Don\'t think I'm going to go easy because you\'ve been spanked once already today.

With each stroke, $name rocked against the couch, <<sore 'and cried out in pain as the brush bit into sore flesh.' ' and clenched as the brush bit deeply into sensitive flesh.'>> "Why am I spanking you?" asked Sam after a moment. "Because you're a control freak," snapped $name. Juliana groaned. A torrential downpour of smacks splattered across $name's vulnerable ass, making $herm yelp and squirm and kick. The blows landed with the speed and strength that only a toned althlete could pull off, and it wasn't long before tears <<sore 'began to gather' 'flowed freely'>>. "Let's try that again," said Sam, punctuating the statement with an extra stingy blow to $name's right thigh. "Why am I spanking you?" $name sniffed. "For staying out past curfew." "And what else?" asked Sam, punctuating the question with a blow to $name's left sitspot. "There were two." "Umm..." Sam landed three swift strokes to $name's left cheek. "Did you bend over and take your spanking like an adult?" [["\"No?\""|ep1d1_over_couch_hairbrush_2]]<br> [["\"I guess not.\""|ep1d1_over_couch_hairbrush_2]]<br> [[Shake your head.|ep1d1_over_couch_hairbrush_2]]<br>"What did you do?" asked Sam, punctuating the question with three hard blows to $name's right cheek that made $name howl. "Gave you lip," muttered $name. "That's right." Sam bent over a little and unleashed a rapid one-two-three-four-five-six to $name's rapidly reddening cheeks. "What are you supposed to do when you're in trouble?" "Bend over and take my spanking like a good $girl," said $name, $her voice shaking with tears. "Damn straight." Sam gently ran a hand over $name's molten ass. "Deep breaths. Deep breaths. We're almost done." $name sucked in slow, deep, sobbing breaths, and tried not to think about the meaning of "almost." "Alright, six more. Three to each cheek," said Sam. He rested the back of the brush against $name's right cheek, then cracked it hard against the tender flesh. $name squealed, and $her hips jerked. Then the brush cracked against $name's left cheek. Right, left, right, left. Each stroke fell one after the other, barely giving $name a chance to suck a breath in between. [["\"Dammit Juliana, this is--oww!--all your--aggh!--fault!\""|ep1d1_over_couch_hairbrush_3]]<br> [["\"It hurts, it hurts Owww!\""|ep1d1_over_couch_hairbrush_3]]<br> [["\"Owww!\""|ep1d1_over_couch_hairbrush_3]]<br>"Alright, you can get up and make yourself decent," said Sam. $name jumped off the back of the sofa and danced around the room, gently yet frantically rubbing $her blazing bottom with one hand, and wiping $her face with the other. After a few seconds of dancing, $she took a deep breath, and <<pantsskirt 'pulled' 'dropped'>> $her <<skirt>> <<pantsskirt 'up and over' 'over'>> $her <<fat>> ass. $She whimpered as the cloth rubbed against $her savaged skin. Sam pulled $name into a warm hug. "Hey now, you know I'm only doing this because I was worried right?" said Sam, ruffling $name's hair. "I've had friends who had to get their stomach pumped, friends who got into fights and got expelled, and friends who literally got lost in the middle of the night, because they lost track of time, lost track of how much they drank, or lost track of where they were. I just don't want the same to happen to you or Juliana. Or any of my charges. Also because your parents would probably beat me with a bat if you got hurt. A spiked bat.

Sam dropped the hairbrush back into the desk and pushed the drawer shut. The resident assistant advanced on $name, lightly tapping the bathbrush against his thigh. "Don't you touch me," said $name, sliding up the back of the couch into a half-standing position. Juliana shook her head and sighed. "And you shut up," said $name. "A little late for that," said Sam. "I swear I will punch you," said $name, cocking a fist. Sam's eyebrows went up. "You will not like what happens if you do." $name glared at Sam, and bolted for the door. "Don't know where you think you're going," said Sam. He caught $name around the waist, and flung $herm back onto the sofa. "Even if you get away, I'll just run you down and paddle you wherever I catch you. Then you can explain to a bunch of annoyed students why your carrying on woke them up."

Sam grabbed <<pantsskirt 'the top of' 'the hem of'>> $name's <<skirt>> and <<pantsskirt 'forced them down to' 'yanked it up and over'>> $her <<pantsskirt 'thighs' 'outthrust backside'>> to expose $her <<fat>> cheeks, now clad only in <<thong 'a $underwear' '$underwear'>>.

"Considering how much trouble you're in, little $girl, I think it's more than fair." Sam settled into a rhythm, alternating heavy smacks between cheeks. <<height;"Now that\'s just mean! Oww!" '"I\'m only slighter shorter than you! Oww!"' '"I\'m as tall as you are! Oww!"' '"I\'m taller than you! Oww!"'>> "Shut up and take your thrashing," said Sam.

Sam battered $name's tender, bare bottom with the heavy wood, its stingy thud making $name squeal and kick. "Like I care what you-oww!" squealed $name. "Oh really?" Sam punctuated the question with a brutal smack to $name's thigh. "Clearly I'm not spanking you hard enough." Sam leaned over $name's bent over body. The heavy brush thudded against $name's jittering cheeks. The thuds echoed throughout the office, and $name bucked $her hips against the couch as hot agony cascaded across $her ass. $name cursed. The curing turned into yelps. The yelps turned into wails. The wails turned into whimpers. "So do you care yet?" asked Sam, punctuating the question with a heavy blow to $name's right sitspot.

Sam leaned over and looked at $name's red, sniffling nose. "Yup. Beating the snot out of you. Guess that's the best I can hope for for now. Maybe someday, you'll care about what I think because you respect my experience and wisdom, and not because I've got a mean bathbrush!" $name mumbled something incoherent and not particularly flattering. "Alright, you get up." Sam put the bath brush away. "Now I need to see to your sister." Juliana eeped. Sam returned to the bathbrush to the drawer, and pulled out the hairbrush. $name danced from foot to foot rubbing $her flaming, naked bottom. <<modifySore 1>> [["\"Ooh, ooh owww...\""|ep1d1_juliana_spanked]]<br> [["\"God, I hate that thing. I hate it so much.\""|ep1d1_juliana_spanked]]<br> [[Whimper and mewl.|ep1d1_juliana_spanked]]<br>"I know. But you need to learn not to," said Sam. $name nodded, and fiddled with $her <<skirt>>. Sam stood $name up, and guided $herm over to the side of the couch. "Bend over and put your hands on the armrest. You'll get twenty for coming home past curfew. Then you're going to bed. OK?" $name nodded, gnawing on $her lips. $She bent over and put $her hands on the sofa armchair. $She arched $her back a little, and stuck $her <<fat>> butt out. "Good $girl," said Sam. He took the <<pantsskirt 'waistband' 'hem'>> of $name's <<skirt>>. $name whimpered as the RA <<pantsskirt 'pulled' 'pushed'>> $name's <<skirt>> <<pantsskirt 'down' 'up'>> and over the swell of $her <<jiggling>> ass. $name heard the sound of a drawer being opened and closed. Sam tapped the back of a hairbrush against $name's right cheek. The student hissed at the feel of the cool wood against $her <<baring 'bare' 'barely covered'>>, <<fat>> ass cheek. "Keep your bottom relaxed," said Sam. "It'll do less damage." $name nodded, and forced $her cheeks to unclench. There was a sharp slap. A thuddy sting cascaded across $her right cheek. $name jumped. [["\"Oww!\""|ep1d1_sam_apologize_a]]<br> [["\"God, that stings!\""|ep1d1_sam_apologize_a]]<br> [[Clench your jaw.|ep1d1_sam_apologize_a]]<br>"That's one," said Sam. The brush swung back and snapped forward and cracked against $name's left cheek. "That's two. And keep your ass relaxed!" "It's hard," said $name. "I know. But it's for the best. Trust me," said Sam. The hairbrush thwacked $name's right sitspot, unleashing a hot wave of pain. "That's three." The hairbrush swung up, and caught the underside of $name's <<jiggling>> left cheek. "Four." $name wiggled $her hips, and $her toes curled. "Stay still. Hard to aim with you squirming around like that," said Sam. The hairbrush bit into the fleshiest part of $name's <<fat>> right cheek. "That's five." [["\"Please, I've learned my lesson, please stop it hurts so bad!\""|ep1d1_sam_apologize_b]]<br> [["\"Oooh, it burns it, it burns.\""|ep1d1_sam_apologize_b]]<br> [["\"Owww!\""|ep1d1_sam_apologize_b]]<br>"I wouldn't be a very good RA if it didn't hurt," said Sam. The hairbrush whipped through the air and smashed into $name's left cheek, sending a deafening crack throughout the room. Juliana winced. $name leapt up and snapped $her hands back to cup $her <<fat>> bottom. $She danced around the room, rubbing and mewling until the sting faded to something bearable. Sam waited, the hand with the brush resting lightly against his hip. "You know that's dangerous right? If you'd snapped your hands back when I was in midswing, I'd have hit your knuckles. Could've seriously hurt you." $name sniffed miserably. "Isn't that the idea?" "Of course not," said Sam. "I don't want to torture you, I want to help you. Sometimes, and by sometimes I mean almost always, the best way to help a $girl when $she's messed up is to redden $her bottom. Not break $her knuckles. Don't you think?" $name shrugged. "Now bend back over. You still got fourteen to go, plus an extra for leaving position," said Sam. [["\"I'm sorry, but it stings so bad! I just can't stay still.\""|ep1d1_sam_apologize_c]]<br> [["\"Yes sir.\""|ep1d1_sam_apologize_c]]<br> [[Whimper.|ep1d1_sam_apologize_c]]<br>Sam wrapped his arm around the small of $name's back, and bent $herm over, his hip and leg pressed against $name's. Sam tapped the brush against $name's left cheek, and unleashed a sharp, stinging smack. $name had barely begun to squeak before the brush smacked against $name's right cheek. Then left, then right again almost before $name could process them. Almost. Sam unleashed the second fifteen blows in half the time as the first six (though not with much less strength). $name squirmed and squealed throughout the rapid-fire beating. $Her hip bumped repeatedly against Sam's. $Her <<fat>> bottom <<jiggled>> and rippled beneath the firm brush. "OK," said Sam after the last, extra hard swat. He shifted the brush into his other hand, and rubbed $name's burning bottom. "We're done. Now get up." $name hopped up and danced about the room, rubbing the worst of the sting from $her buzzing bottom. [["\"Ooh, ooh owww...\""|ep1d1_juliana_spanked]]<br> [["\"God, I hate that thing. I hate it so much.\""|ep1d1_juliana_spanked]]<br> [[Whimper and mewl.|ep1d1_juliana_spanked]]<br>Juliana groaned. Sam stared at $name. "You got into a crash." "Yes." "And then fought off the Whistlers." "Yes." "And you don't have a single bruise to show for it." "Umm..." $name glanced down at $her $shirt. A bit wrinkled, but no smudges or tears, no dried blood. Her knuckled weren't bruised, $her face didn't hurt anywhere. Sam rubbed his forehead. "And you really expect me to believe this?" "I'm telling you, it happened," said $name, stomping $her foot. <<sore '"I have the red ass to prove it! Their leader gave me a spanking!"' ''>> <<sore 'Sam blinked. "A red ass is not evidence for anything you just said. You could have gotten that from a bouncer. Or one of your TA\'s. Or a grumpy old lady you were rude to."'

Sam ducked into the office, and came out a second later with a flashlight. He grabbed $name's arm and pulled $herm towards the door. "Come with me." "Where are we going?" asked $name, ineffectually digging $her heels into the linoleum. "Falsifying the other half of your stupid story," said Sam. He pointed at Juliana. "You go into the office and wait for me." Juliana scurried into the office. Sam dragged $name out into the parking lot. "Let's see, I think I saw your headlights over here..." $name's stomach plummeted with every step. When they reached the car, Sam flicked on the flashlight and swept it over the car. "Not a dent. Not even a scratch in the paint. So you slammed into a lightpost, and didn't even dent the car." [["\"It's a really tanky car?\""|ep1d1_sam_truth_b]]<br> [["\"It had, like a shield around it or something...\""|ep1d1_sam_truth_b]]<br> [["\"Umm...\""|ep1d1_sam_truth_b]]<br>Sam turned off the flashlight and set it on the top of the car. He grabbed $name and bent $herm over the hood. "Cars are made to crumple in an accident. A stiff breeze should be able to dent them, let alone a damned lightpost." Sam vigorously slapped $name's ass, hard enough for $name to feel it through $her <<skirt>>. "I have neither the time, the patience, nor the energy for your absurd bullshit. Now tell me what really happened or I'll beat your naked ass right here in front of God and everybody." <<set $spankee to $spankee + 1>> [["\"OK, OK I'll tell you, I'll tell you.\""|ep1d1_truth_lie]]<br> [["\"I'm telling you, it actually happened! There-\""|ep1d1_truth_truth]]<br>"Good." Sam pulled $name back up, and snatched the flashlight. He marched $name back into the office. Juliana gave $name a tentative, supportive smile as they entered. Sam put the light back on the desk and turned to $name. "Now, tell me. And I swear you'll get the bathbrush if you try to feed me any more absurdities." [["\"Well, um, you know. We were out dancing, I guess. Umm, I guess we lost track of time?\""|ep1d1_sam_lie_1]]<br> [["\"We were out dancing, you know having fun like *normal* college students who don't have a goddamn nanny. Guess we didn't watch the time, because we're not twelve.\""|ep1d1_sam_lie_1]]<br>"I see." Sam released $name, who hopped from one foot to the other, furiously rubbing $her smarting bum. Sam grabbed $herm by the ear and dragged $herm back to the office. They found Juliana pacing anxiously back and forth, gnawing on one fingernail. She eeped and slipped her hand behind her back when Sam came in, dragging $name behind him. "Both of you sit." Sam released $name's ear and pointed at the sofa. [[Gingerly sit down, not making eye contact with Juliana.|ep1d1_sam_lie_in_office]]<br> [[Throw a worried look at Juliana before easing down.|ep1d1_sam_lie_in_office]]<br>Sam landed a full-bodied smack to $name's sitspot. "Enough!" Sam yanked <<pantsskirt 'down' 'up'>> $name's <<skirt>>, exposing $name's $underwear. The $underwear quickly followed. "No! Let go of me!" screamed $name, squirming around and trying to bat Sam's hand away. Sam pressed his right hand against $name's back and shoved $herm against the hood of the car. $name wiggled $her naked hips, and stomped $her feet. Sam's hard left hand arced through the air and cracked against $name's left cheek, the sharp smack echoing throughout the parking lot. $name started to swear, but the vulgarity was cut off by a yelp as Sam's hand smashed into $name's right cheek. Sam unleashed a flurry of hard, fast cracks. His hips swiveled as he put every pound of muscle he had into each blow. $name kicked and thrashed. [["\"You're going to dent Juliana's car!\""|ep1d1_truth_truth_a]]<br> [["\"Let go of me! I'm telling the truth, I swear!\""|ep1d1_truth_truth_a]]<br> [["\"I'm not lying!\""|ep1d1_truth_truth_a]]<br>"Shut up and take your spanking." Sam somehow managed to pick up the pace, the blows landing with the speed and shock of lightning. $name's entire world narrowed down to $her <<fat>> ass, and the agony being inflicted on it by Sam's callused hand of iron. There was a pause, and a faint scraping. $name looked over $her shoulder just in time to see Sam pull off his slipper. $name groaned. "You've brought this on yourself, young $lady," said Sam. He struck $name's <<fat>> right cheek with the hard leather sole. The loud smack echoed throughout the empty parking lot. When $name looked up at the dorm building, $she could swear $she can see a few faces peering out. Sam's slipper cracked against $name's left cheek, and $she found other things to worry about. Sam struck $name's bottom with slow, deliberate strokes, the slipper whooshing through the air with every swing, and smashing into $name's <<jiggling>> bottom with brat breaking force. $name wailed. [["\"Please I swear to God and hope to die--\""|ep1d1_truth_truth_b]]<br> [["\"I'm telling you the truth, you asshole!\""|ep1d1_truth_truth_b]]<br> [["\"This isn't fair!\""|ep1d1_truth_truth_b]]<br>"I. Said. Enough." Sam punctuated each word with a stinging stroke to one of $name's thighs, making the student squeal. Sam's hand tightened against the small of $name's back, and he picked up the pace. $name wailed, and hot tears flowed down $her face as the slipper ravaged $her throbbing ass. "Are you ready to tell me the truth?" asked Sam. $name hiccuped. "I am telling-" "Apparently not." Sam vigorously slapped $name's <<jiggling>> ass with the hard-soled slipper. $name sagged against the hood of the car, and sobbed quietly, interspersed with mewls of pain. "Are you ready to tell me the truth?" asked Sam. $name didn't know what $she told Sam. Something about a spontaneous and severe migraine, pulling off to the side of the road, sitting there because $name had a few drinks and nobody was fit to drive. "Well why didn't you tell me that before?" asked Sam, as he replaced his slipper. "Instead of that bullshit story about the Whistlers?" <<modifySore 1>> [["\"'Cause. It's embarassing.\""|ep1d1_truth_truth_c]]<br> [["\"Well, you know...\""|ep1d1_truth_truth_c]]<br> [[Shrug.|ep1d1_truth_truth_c]]<br>"Well, come on." Sam eased $name off the hood of the car, and fixed $name's clothing. $name whimpered as $her <<skirt>> touched $her swollen bottom. Sam helped $name hobble back towards the dorm. Once inside, Sam gave $name's bottom a gentle rub. "I'm sorry I had to do that. But it's for your own good. I can't have you lying to me. It's my responsibility to protect and advise you, and I can't do that if you lie to me." $name miserably rubbed $her burning bottom. "Now, why don't you go take a shower, maybe lotion your bottom so that it doesn't get too dry, and then go to bed. I need to give Juliana her spanking," said Sam, giving $name a slight push towards the student's room. [["\"Best idea I've heard all night.\""|ep1d1_truth_truth_d]]<br> [["\"Yes sir.\""|ep1d1_truth_truth_d]]<br> [[Nod.|ep1d1_truth_truth_d]]<br>$name shuffled down the corridor, $her mind filled with thoughts of bed. As $she went, $she could hear the sharp slap of wood on bare flesh, interspersed with feminine yelps. $name hesitated, and went back to wait outside the office for Juliana. $She eyed the long wooden bench sitting outside the office, trying to decide which hurt more: $her feet, or $her ass. Maybe two or three minutes passed, but they felt like an eternity. $name found $herself alternating between sitting for a few seconds, standing for a few seconds, and fervently wishing the damned thing had cushions. Juliana eventually came out, rubbing her bottom and sniffling. Her eyes widened when she saw $name. "Figured you'd have gone to bed by now." $name shrugged. "Kinda felt like waiting for you, I guess." Sam came out a few minutes later, locking the office behind him. "You two go on to bed. Now. Shoo. Unless you want a few more." [["\"No no no. We're going, we're going.\""|ep1d1_bed]]<br> [[Quietly mutter while hurrying away: "Give you a few more."|ep1d1_bed]]<br> [[Hurry to bed.|ep1d1_bed]]<br>$name started to cry. It was like a dam broke, and all the stress, fear and craziness of the night just poured out in body-shaking gasps. Then Juliana started to cry too. Sam shifted anxiously. "Neither of your phones worked? Really?" $name and Juliana pulled out their phones and offered it to Sam. Sam tapped them a few times, and grunted. He gave them back, then pulled the two into a deep hug. "I'm sorry," he whispered. "I didn't mean to be angry, I was just worried. I had no idea." $name clung to Sam, and buried $her face in Sam's shoulder. "I was so scared," said $name. "I didn't know what to do, I-" "Shhh," said Sam, rubbing the back of $name's head. "Shhh." Minutes passed, maybe as long as half an hour, before the two students finally got a handle on themselves. [["\"I'm sorry.\""|ep1d1_sam_panic_a]]<br> [["\"Thank you. I, I guess I needed that.\""|ep1d1_sam_panic_a]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_sam_panic_a]]<br>"I guess, you're gonna spank us now?" said Juliana, around a small hiccup. "I don't think that's necessary," said Sam. He gave the two a push towards their suite. "Let's just get you two to bed. Juliana, I want you to call the health center tomorrow to schedule an appointment. And I do not want to see you behind the wheel of a car until you've been ok'd by a doctor, understand?" Juliana nodded. "I mean it," said Sam. "I see you behind the wheel of a car without a doctor's note first, and I will pull you out, bend you over the hood and paddle you right then and there." "Yes Sir," said Juliana. She gave Sam another hug. "Sorry for making you worry." Sam patted the young woman on the back. "It's ok. Sounds like you two had terrible luck. You should get your phones looked at too." Juliana nodded, and the two retreated to their room. [["\"I can't believe we didn't get spanked.\""|ep1d1_bed]]<br> [["\"Don't think I've ever had crocodile tears actually work.\""|ep1d1_bed]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_bed]]<br>Sam grimaced. "Trains can add like ten, fifteen minutes to a trip. Well, go off to bed you two. I'll let it slide this time." [["\"Thank you, I promise it won't happen again.\""|ep1d1_bed]]<br> [["\"Good night, Sam.\""|ep1d1_bed]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_bed]]<br>"Alright why don't you sit down-" $name glared at Sam. "It was just a suggestion," said Sam, his lips trying to twitch into a smile. "Well, make yourself comfortable-" $name glared at Sam. Sam rolled his eyes. "Fine. Stand there and pout. Juliana, it's your turn. Assume the position." Juliana sighed and stood. She turned around, and clambered onto the sofa cushion. She bent over the back of the couch, and put her hands on the small stool sitting behind it. Her butt hung in the air, the highest point of her body. The awkward position had pushed her tiny yellow dress up, exposing nearly half of her rotund cheeks. Sam wiggled the tight dress up and over Juliana's outthrust ass, revealing a pair of big, jiggly buttocks "clad" in a red g-string. Sam shook his head. "Juliana when are you going to learn that floss is for teeth?" "When are you going to learn that pulling up my skirt is for spanking, not wardrobe critique?" asked Juliana. Sam put his hand on the small of Juliana's back and whapped the back of the brush against Juliana's right cheek. Juliana hissed and wiggled her hips. Her right cheek rippled beneath the blow. "Now sounds like a good time." [["\"Heh. Walked right into that one.\""|ep1d1_juliana_spanked_a]]<br> [["Quietly: \"Bet that's not the only thing you want him to pull your skirt up for.\""|ep1d1_juliana_spanked_a]]<br> [[Smirk.|ep1d1_juliana_spanked_a]]<br> <<modifySore 1>>"Actually, feel free to take your time," said Juliana. "No, no, no. You make a good point." Sam struck Juliana's left cheek twice in rapid succession. "I should be disciplining you, not making snarky comments about your dress. And frankly, I should be grateful." Sam gave Juliana half a dozen swift, bottom-jiggling strokes that made Juliana squirm and kick a little. "Such tiny panties save me the effort of tugging them down. You know how much work that is? Sure it may not seem like much, but it adds up after a while." "Glad to be of service. Oww!" Sam struck Juliana's light brown ass with swift, sharp strokes, the hairbrush flashing between roiling cheeks. Juliana wiggled, squirmed and kicked. She yelped and bounced her bottom, her knees bouncing up and down on the cushion. [["\"Ouch.\""|ep1d1_juliana_spanked_b]]<br> [["\"That's gonna leave a mark.\""|ep1d1_juliana_spanked_b]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_juliana_spanked_b]]<br>Sam stopped. "Take a second and gather yourself girl. Keep wiggling like that and I'll put you over my knee and hold you down." Juliana took a few deep breaths and forced herself to relax. "OK. Ready." "Are you sure?" Sam lightly tapped Juliana's right cheek with the brush. "Yes sir," said Juliana, her voice shaking a little. "Ok then." Sam struck Juliana's right cheek with a flesh-rippling blow. Juliana squeaked, and squirmed, but other than that stayed still. Sam waited a moment, and struck Juliana's left cheek. Juliana squeaked again, and didn't even wiggle. "Good girl." Sam resumed resumed the swift, alternating rhythm. Juliana squealed, and clenched the stool until her arms shook. Her face scrunched up into a grimace, and her eyes squeezed shut. Her bottom bucked and squirmed, the soft flesh rippling and bouncing beneath the hard brush. "Alright then," said Sam. He grabbed Juliana around her waist and sat down. "Wait, no-" [["\"That's what you get for being a squirmer.\""|ep1d1_juliana_spanked_c]]<br> [["Quietly: \"That's what you get for hamming it up.\""|ep1d1_juliana_spanked_c]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_juliana_spanked_c]]<br>Sam hauled Juliana facedown over his lap, her bare cheeks wobbling with the motion. "No, come on, I'll stay still, I promise-oww!" The sharp retort of thick hairbrush against thick bottom echoed through the small room. Juliana kicked and her hips bucked against Sam's lap. Sam unleashed a solid four smacks to Juliana's right sitspot, and four smacks to her left. "I gotta wonder if you're learning anything at all from this, or if I'm just getting some late night exercise." "Of course I am! Oww! Mama just says I have-aagh!-poor impulse control. Oww!" Juliana shook her head back and forth. She wiggled her hips after a stroke to her left sitspot. "And a terrible sense of time." Sam unleashed such a rapid flurry of strokes, $name began to worry Juliana's bubble butt was going to pop. Juliana wailed and pressed her face against the couch arm, her ass rippling, bouncing and jiggling beneath the onslaught. Finally, when Juliana's ass was a bright red, Sam wiped his forehead. "OK," said Sam. "Both of you should go to bed." "Yes sir." Juliana stood, gave her bottom a fierce rub, and tugged her dress back down. She flashed Sam a brief smile. "Come on $name. I have had enough excitement for one night." [["\"Amen.\""|ep1d1_bed]]<br> [[Say nothing.|ep1d1_bed]]<br> <<set $ep1d1CarrieSpanked to true>>"What a night," said Juliana as the two entered the common room of their suite. The suites in the building were rather unusual in that they had six single rooms, rather than three double rooms. It had originally been built for graduate students. However, though Nezerwallup had an excellent undergraduate program, their graduate program was generally less good. The building had been repurposed into undergraduate dorms. $name made a beeline for $her own room. "See you tomorrow?" said Juliana. "See you." $name shot Juliana a small smile. "Sleep well." "That shouldn't be too hard." $name entered $her own room, shut it and shucked $her clothing. $She fumbled into $her pajamas, and collapsed onto the bed. [[Sleep|ep1d2_start]]<br>[[Next Day|ep1d2_start]]<br>$name faded in and out of sleep. $She woke up boiling, but barely kicked $her covers off before $she passed out again. $She woke up freezing, clutching frantically at whatever blanket $she could get $her hands on. At one point, it seemed like sun was filtering in through $her window, but the next thing $she knew it was dark. $She thought $she could hear Juliana talking to a gentle voice $she didn't recognize. $name woke with a start. Early morning sunlight filtered in through the window, intermingled with cheerful birdsong. $She groaned and rubbed $her eyes. Weird ass dream. Weird ass freaking dream. $She rolled off $her belly onto $her back, <<sore 'and promptly rolled back. Guess the whole getting-back-past-curfew thing wasn\'t a dream.' 'and burrowed into the bed.'>> The door banged. $name yelped, teetered on the edge of the bed, and fell <<sore 'tender-ass-first' 'ass-first'>> onto the floor. A floor that happened to be covered in textbooks, shoes, pens, pencils, and maybe a thumbtack or two. [["\"Something had better be on fire.\""|ep1d2_start_1]] [["\"What do you want?\""|ep1d2_start_1]] [["\"Bugger off!\""|ep1d2_start_1]]"Well good morning to you too," said Juliana through the door. She sounded mildly amused. "Well it's morning at least." "So you feeling any better?" asked Juliana. "You slept like all day yesterday." "The hell you talking about?" asked $name, rubbing the sleep from $her eyes. "A nurse from the campus medical center came by, said you had a 24 hour virus or something." "Oh. Well, I'm fine." $name stood and stretched. "In fact, I feel great-oh!" "Can I come in?" said Juliana. "I want to talk. In private." "Fine whatever, but first I gotta pee like you wouldn't believe." $name jerked open the door. "Understandable," said Juliana as $name bolted past her and made a beeline for the bathroom. [["\"Outta my way!\""|ep1d2_start_2]] [[Say nothing|ep1d2_start_2]]After finishing $her morning business, $name stumbled out of $her pjs and into the shower, shivering as the water struck $her bare skin. $She cranked the heat, muttering under $her breath about heating that took freaking forever, and if Juliana had used- Ouch! Shit! Hot hot too hot hot! $name's vision gained a red mist, and it was as if $she were wearing a full-bodied poncho. $She turned the heat down a little with a shaking, glowing hand, and leaned against the shower wall. $Her heart pounded against $her chest, and $her breath came in labored gasps. $She stared at $her hand until the red glow faded from $her skin. $name closed $her eyes. $Her thoughts bouncing between red flares, rainbow mohawks, squealing tires, and glowing skin. Slowly, ever so slowly, the jumple of memories from last night (no, two nights ago) coalesced into a coherent narrative. $She fought an honest-to-god supervillain. A supervillain who was very much still out there, and likely pissed as hell. $name realized with a start that $she was shivering. The once hot water was now merely lukewarm. $She quickly suzzed up and cleaned herself. [["\"Hopefully I'm the last to shower.\""|ep1d2_start_3]] [["\"Oopsie.\""|ep1d2_start_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_start_3]]$name put $her pajamas back on, and returned to $her room. Juliana stood in the middle of it, staring off into space and gnawing a fingernail. "Blegh, you're still here?" said $name, pushing the door closed behind $herm. Juliana smiled, and glanced about the chaotic room. "Not even a mess of epic and lasting proportions could keep me out today." "Hey, it's not that bad." $name plopped down on $her bed. $She <<sore 'hopped back up with a small yelp,' 'stretched'>> $her <<sore 'hands snapping back to clutch' ' back,'>> $her <<sore 'angrily buzzing bottom.' ' face grimacing as sore muscles screamed.'>> Juliana's lips quirked and an eyebrow arched. "Souvenirs?" "Shut up." Juliana smirked. "So whaddya want?" Juliana's smile faded. "I wanted to talk about two nights ago. You-" [["\"Don't want to talk about it.\""|ep1d2_start_4]] [["\"Slept through the whole thing. Care to fill me in?\""|ep1d2_start_4]]"Look, I'm just trying to process it, alright?" said Juliana. She paced. "I saw you fire energy beams out of you eyes, get punched through an air conditioning unit, lift a random sheet of iron, and fight a lunatic whose hair could slice through steel. I'm kinda freaked out here!" "You're freaking out? You didn't turn into a night light," said $name. "Keep your voice down," hissed Juliana. "And what, we can't both be freaked out?" "You are not allowed to be more freaked out than I am," said $name, crossing $her arms. "Don't worry," said Juliana dryly. "Your eyes have been the size of dinner plates since you woke up, to say nothing of the Shower to End All Showers." "Just laying down some ground rules," said $name, a hint of a smile sneaking its way onto $her face. "Noted. Now look, we gotta figure out what we're going to do," said Juliana. "Here's a thought. We pretend it never happened," said $name, stretching again and hissing. Stupid sore muscles. "But Buzzsaw is still out there," said Juliana. [["\"So we'll never drive through creepy abandoned business parks again.\""|ep1d2_start_5]] [["\"That's not our problem.\""|ep1d2_start_5]] [[Shrug.|ep1d2_start_5]]"I seriously doubt-" The door banged open. "Jesus' fuzzy beard," said Juliana, whirling towards the door. For the briefest of instants, almost too fast to be seen, there was a crimson flare. But $name repressed it in a surge of panic, thoughts of horrified roommates and dark government labs flashing through $her head. [["\"Jesus' fuzzy beard?\""|ep1d2_keiko]] [["\"Holy crap!\""|ep1d2_keiko]] [[Frown|ep1d2_keiko]]"Yes tremble in terror!" boomed a high-pitched voice. "For Keiko Abe the Crusher of Apples has arrived, and demands your attention!" A thin, five-foot woman stood in the doorway. She had rich dark skin that hinted at African ancestry, and almond-shaped eyes that suggested some Southeast Asian blood as well. She stood in a wide stance, one arm still outstretched from shoving the door open, the other on her narrow hip. Her dark eyes swept the pair imperiously, a toss of the head sending long black hair over her shoulder. She wore a rich yellow blouse, and a knee-length loose-fitting black skirt. "The Auburn One demands that you stop whatever empty gossip you waste your morning with, and enter the common room at once!" "Jesus Christ, Keiko, I just wanted you to ask them if they wanted to go to the beach," said a silky smooth voice from the common room. "The Auburn One grows impatient!" thundered Keiko. "The Auburn One can wait while I recover from my heart attack," said Juliana dryly. [["\"Haven't you ever heard of knocking?\""|ep1d2_angry]] [["\"That's...that's great. Is...is that how they talk in Canada?\""|ep1d2_canada_talk]]An evil grin spread across Juliana's face. "That's right. And you know, bursting into somebody's room uninvited is a blatant violation of the bylaws." Keiko deflated like a popped balloon. "Sorry. I guess I just thought it would have been funny." "Funny? We could have been having a private conversation," said $name angrily. "Yeah. We could have been talking about $name's genital warts," said Juliana cheerfully. "Yeah-wait, what?" said $name, throwing Juliana a confused look. "Now wait a minute-" "In fact, $she could have been naked, and showing them to me," said Juliana, her smile widening. "You could have exposed $her deepest, darkest, grossest secret to the entire suite!" Keiko narrowed one eye. "Why would $she show them to you?" "I don't know, it's a hypothetical situation," said Juliana, throwing her hands in the air. "Maybe $she would need my advice on whether $she should go to the doctor, or if $her genital wart cream is working." [["\"I don't have genital warts!\""|ep1d2_angry_1]] [["\"Excuse me?\""|ep1d2_angry_1]] [["\"Genital what now?\""|ep1d2_angry_1]]"Relax." Juliana shrugged. "It's just one example of why Keiko shouldn't be bursting into your room like that." "Well, why'd we pick the one where I have genital warts?" asked $name. "Why couldn't you have them?" "Because they're gross, and I would never have something so gross in my hypothetical situation," said Juliana with a toss of her head. "It'd be appreciated if you could extend me the same courtesy," said $name. "Nah." "Uh-huh," said Keiko. She glanced at $name. "Do...do you have genital warts?" "No," thundered $name. "Juliana's just being a dick." "Oh it's so much fun to watch you squirm," said Juliana with a clap of her hands. She gave Keiko a meaningful look. "And I don't know if $name has warts or not. If $she does, $she certainly hasn't shown them to me." [["\"I'm gonna spank you one of these days. It's gonna happen. Just over my knee and pow pow pow!\""|ep1d2_angry_2]] [["\"Because I don't have any!\""|ep1d2_angry_2]] [[Growl.|ep1d2_angry_2]]"Um. Ok," said Keiko. She started to pull the door closed. "Sorry for interrupting, bye now." Juliana grabbed Keiko's shoulder. She shook a finger in front of the girl's face. "Uh-uh. You can't leave yet." "Why not?" asked Keiko, gnawing on her lower lip. "Have you read the bylaws?" Keiko laughed weakly. "Yeah, funny right? All that fancy legal talk about umm, rules, and umm, enforcement, and, umm..." Juliana arched an eyebrow. "And umm?" "Well, you know, it was funny right?" said Keiko, her eyes dancing between the two friends. "Americans have a crazy sense of humor." "I don't remember anything funny in them," said $name. "In fact, they were ridiculously dry. Why all the crazy legalese?" Keiko's eyes flicked between the pair like those of a panicking rabbit. She gnawed anxiously on her lower lip. Her shoulders hunched, and her stance narrowed. "Aww, come on, you can't really be serious? I thought that was like a joke, or stereotype or something. Like how all Americans have like six guns, and they put ketchup on everything and stuff." [["\"Come on Juli. Fun is fun, but cut her some slack.\""|ep1d2_stand_up_for_keiko]] [["\"Ketchup is tasty.\""|ep1d2_angry_3]] [["\"I do like guns.\""|ep1d2_angry_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_angry_3]]"She burst into your room," said Juliana, an edge to her voice. She gave $name a meaningful look. "While we were discussing some *very* private matters." "I, umm, I didn't mean to," stammered Keiko. "I won't do it again." Juliana crossed her arms over her ample chest and glared at Keiko. "I take my privacy very, very seriously." [["\"Well, it's my room. So by the bylaws, *I* get to decide if she gets spanked.\""|ep1d2_stand_up_for_keiko_2]] [["\"Yeah, that's a good point, I guess. Sorry Keiko. You interrupted a private conversation between me and my sister. You're getting spanked.\""|ep1d2_angry_3a]] [["\"Oh. Yeah. Right. OK. Keiko. Bend over.\""|ep1d2_angry_3a]]Juliana huffed and tossed her hair. "Fine. Have it your way." Juliana brushed past Keiko and headed out into the living room. "Th-thanks," said Keiko. "Umm, your sister is very--" [["\"Yeah, sorry about that. She's had a rough couple of days.\""|ep1d2_post_keiko_spanking]] [["\"Juliana's real nice. Until you annoy her. Then, well. Yeah.\""|ep1d2_post_keiko_spanking]] [[Shrug.|ep1d2_post_keiko_spanking]]"I should show you my parents' armory sometime," said Juliana. "They got enough guns to overthrow the government." "Really?" said Keiko, looking at Juliana with wide eyes. "No. But they do have an armory of implements." Juliana pulled Keiko into the room and closed the door. She gave Keiko a light push into the center and snatched a copy of the bylaws off the back of $name's door. She flipped through them, while Keiko hugged $herself and watched. "And you are getting your cute little bum smacked." <<include ep1d2_angry_3a>>"You know, I could just like, run out. What you gonna do, tackle me?" asked Keiko, eyeing the door. "Naw," said Juliana. "We'll just go tell Sam, and Sam'll spank you instead. With a bathbrush. You know, one of those big wooden brushes people use in the shower?" If Keiko's eyes had widened any further, they'd have fallen out. [["\"The last time Sam took it to Juliana, she cried like a toddler who just found out Santa's not real.\""|ep1d2_angry_4]] [["\"Seriously. Makes Juliana squeal like a stuck pig.\""|ep1d2_angry_4]] [["\"Ever want to make sure Juliana can't get in the shower first? Leave a bathbrush in there.\""|ep1d2_angry_4]]Juliana shot $name a dirty look before returning her attention to the document. "Ah, here we are. Twenty swats with an implement of type 3 or lower for barging into somebody's room unannounced. Forty with type 4 or lower if the occupant was underdressed at the time." Keiko backed up from Juliana until she bumped into $name, who took her by the shoulders. Keiko looked <<height '' ' up' ' up'>> at $name and smiled a teeth-grinding grin of terror. "Aww, come on I didn't really think that thing was serious. So, it's like I didn't know, you know? How about a warning huh? I'll be better next time, cut me a little slack and call it culture shock. I'm not from around here-" Juliana's eyebrow arched. "Have you ever been spanked before?" "No." Keiko stared down at Juliana's shoes, her voice barely audible. "Would you prefer your first time be in relative privacy and from your friends, or in the middle of a lecture hall by a professor who's pissed that you broke one of his rules, and has to take precious time out of his lecture to paddle you?" Keiko went pale as a sheet. "Professors do that?" [["\"Some of the meaner ones.\""|ep1d2_angry_5]] [["\"Well, usually they make their TA do it. Out in the hallway.\""|ep1d2_angry_5]] [[Nod.|ep1d2_angry_5]]Keiko swallowed. Juliana spun her finger through the air. "Turn around and bend over the edge of the bed. $name, what've you got?" "Umm..." $name rifled through drawers and closets. "Well, I've got a leather belt. A umm, a wooden spoon, and I think that's it.<<female ' My hairbrush is a cheap plastic thing, no good for spankings.' ''>>" Juliana flipped to the back of the bylaws. "Belt is type 4, so that's out. Spoon is type 2, though. That'll do. Now would you like-" Juliana noticed Keiko was still standing in the middle of the room, hugging herself and rocking, her eyes already filling with tears. Juliana locked eyes with the girl, and her voice turned into ice. "Why are you not bent over the bed?" Keiko eeped, and practically threw $herself over the bed, which was tall enough to force her toes to dangle a few centimeters off the floor. [["\"Nice!\""|ep1d2_angry_6a]] [["\"Well, that was scary.\""|ep1d2_angry_6]] [[Stare at Juliana.|ep1d2_angry_6]]Juliana smirked. "Channeling Mama was I?" "Indeed," said $name <<include ep1d2_angry_6b>>"What?" said Juliana, turning her icy glare on $name. $name shuddered. "Nothing. It's just that you look like Mama when she's pissed. Stuff of nightmares." <<include ep1d2_angry_6b>>Juliana stepped up to Keiko, and lifted the girl's skirt. "Hey!" Keiko grabbed $her hem. "What're you doing?" "Lifting your skirt," said Juliana. "Let go." "But we never-" "The bylaws say nothing about how clothed the perpetrator must be," said Juliana. "So it's up to our discretion. I would have happily spanked you over your skirt, but you've been arguing with me every step of the way. You argue? You get it on bare skin." "But-" "You keep arguing with me, and I will invoke bylaw-penalties for resisting punishment," said Juliana. "Which would let us take that belt to your butt." [["\"You really don't want that.\""|ep1d2_angry_7]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_angry_7]]Keiko whimpered and let go of the skirt. "Good girl," said Juliana, her voice warming a little. Juliana lifting Keiko's skirt over her narrow hips to reveal a small, firm, heart-shaped bottom clad in a pair of white, lacy boy-short panties that exposed a little bit of Keiko's lower cheek. Juliana cooed. "These are nice. Where'd you get them?" Keiko mumbled something. "Aww, come on I'm serious," said Juliana. "They look sooo cute on you. I wonder if we could find a pair in my size?" "Vicky's mysteries," mumbled the young woman into her forearm. "We'll have to go shopping together sometime. You've got great taste in underwear." Juliana patted the girl's bum. Juliana turned her attention to $name. "Would you like to punish her or shall I?" [["\"I'll do it.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko]] [["\"You do it, but I'll watch.\""|ep1d2_carrie_spanks_keiko_watch]] [["\"You do it. I'm gonna step into the common room.\""|ep1d2_carrie_spanks_keiko_leave]]$name twirled the spoon between $her fingers. The head was fairly small, but it had a nice long handle. Perfect for stingy, rapid fire strokes. Juliana had already told the girl that she was going to get spanked on bare skin, but she never said what that meant. <<set $ep1d2KeikoSpanked to true>> <<set $spanker to $spanker + 1>> [[Pull down Keiko's panties|ep1d2_spank_keiko_pull_down]] [[Give Keiko a wedgie|ep1d2_spank_keiko_wedgie]] [[Focus solely on Keiko's exposed sitspots|ep1d2_spank_keiko_sit_spots]]$name grabbed the waistband of Keiko's panties and tugged them halfway down her thighs, exposing a pair of firm little chocolate cheeks. Keiko whimpered, and buried her face in her forearm. Her heart-shaped bottom clenched, and her feet twitched. [["\"Brace yourself. This might sting.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare]] [["\"I just want you to know, this hurts me more than it does you.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare]]$name gathered the thin material in one hand, and gently pulled it up into Keiko's crack, all but fully exposing her chocolate little cheeks. Keiko yelped. "What are you doing? Come on!" "I could pull them down instead, if you'd like," said $name. "No, that's fine," whimpered Keiko, anxiously wiggling her hips and twitching her feet. [["\"Brace yourself. This might sting.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare]] [["\"I just want you to know, this hurts me more than it does you.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare]]$name rubbed the spoon against Keiko's bare skin. $She flicked $her wrist. The spoon struck Keiko's firm right cheek with a sharp *snap*. Keiko squeaked, and her bottom clenched. "Stay relaxed," said Juliana. She sat down next to Keiko, and rubbed the girl's bottom. "It'll do less damage." "Hey!" said $name, knocking Juliana's hand away. "You want to get your knuckles rapped? What if I was about to rapid-fire?" Juliana rolled her eyes. "You were obviously not going to rapid-fire." $name pointed the spoon at her. "You want a few strokes too?" "Fine." Juliana crossed her arms. $name leaned forward, and placed $her hand on the small of Keiko's back, just above her cheeks. $She unleashed five swift strokes to Keiko's left cheek. Keiko squealed and bounced up and down on the bed, her clenched bottom having the barest of jiggle. $name turned $her attention to Keiko's right cheek, and landed another five swift strokes. Once again, Keiko bounced and squealed her way through each one, her bottom clenched tight as a steel wire. "Ohhhh, it hurts, it hurts," wailed the young woman. [["\"Good. Means I'm doing my job.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_1]] [["\"It's supposed to.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_1]]"You need to relax," said Juliana, reaching over and rubbing the girl's bottom. "Dammit, Juliana what did I tell you?" $name grabbed Juliana's wrist and pulled her off the bed. $She spun $her friend around and gave her right cheek half a dozen swift, stinging swats with the spoon. Juliana yelped and hopped, her bottom jiggling visibly beneath her tight, thin pajama pants. She yanked herself free and scampered away from $name, furiously rubbing her bottom. "Jeez, $name take a chill pill. It's not like you're doing anything for her. Just whaling away even though she's tight as a drum. This is her first time. Show her a bit of mercy won't you ?" $name's jaw clenched. $She took a deep breath. "Yeah, sorry. But keep your hands off without asking first!" "Fine, I will, jeez," said Juliana, crossing her arms, cocking her hip and glaring at nothing in particular. "How about, while you're beating Keiko, I'll get rid of that cow you had." $name took another deep breath, and turned back to Keiko. $She gave the young woman's bottom a gentle rub. "How you doing?" "It stings," said Keiko piteously, her voice muffled by her forearm. "How many more?" [["\"Nine. And I want you to count.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_2]] [["\"Nine. Now let's practice some counting!\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_2]] [["\"Nine. Count.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_2]]"What? But-" "Some people will ask you to count your strokes, and will give you extra if you lose track," said $name. "I won't. Even if I wanted to, the bylaws don't let us add extra strokes for anything but resistance. So it's a good chance to practice." "Hate America," muttered Keiko. "Should just go back home. Where people aren't nuts." "Aww come on, it can't be that bad," said Juliana. "Why think of all the undisciplined youth running around in Canada that we don't have to deal with! Mom's always going on about how out of control Canadians are, because they've never been put over someone's knee." Keiko turned her head and glared at Juliana. "Says the woman who has been out until 1 in the morning drinking and partying in clothing that barely deserves the name every weekend night since we got here." Juliana held up her hands helplessly. "Sorry, just trying to lighten the mood." "Well don't. Let's just do this," said Keiko. "Trust me, you'll like it better when you get a chance to give instead of take," said Juliana. [["\"Yeah, here's hoping I'm not on the receiving end.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_3]] [["\"Not gonna help her now, though.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_3]]$name lined up the spoon, and snapped it against the middle of Keiko's left cheek. "Oww! One." $name rubbed Keiko's cheek, and snapped the spoon against her right sitspot. Keiko yelped and bounced her hips against the bed. "Remember to count," said $name. "Two." "Good. Now I need you to relax. I want to focus on keeping your bottom relaxed for this one, ok?" said $name. Keiko whimpered, but her cheeks slowly relaxed. "Take deep breaths," said $name in a low, soothing voice. "That's right. Thaaat's right..." *Snap!* Keiko squealed as the spoon collided with the fleshiest part of $her right cheek, $her bottom jiggling before it clenched up again. [["\"Not bad.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_4]] [["\"Squeezed up right after. You'd be hosed if I rapid-fired.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_4]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_4]]"Three." Keiko took a deep breath. "Don't forget to relax your bottom." "Gahh! How is getting spanked so hard?" wailed Keiko. "Taking a spanking isn't hard," said $name. "It's taking a spanking so that you're not feeling it so bad later that's hard." $name leaned forward and landed four sharp smacks to the girl's bottom, two right in the middle of each cheek. "Oww! Oww! Oww! Four, five, six!" "You missed one," said $name, rubbing Keiko's right cheek. "Anybody and anywhere else, you probably would have earned another half dozen or so by now." Keiko wailed. "Oooh, seven." "Look on the bright side," said Juliana. "Means you're closer to done than you thought." [["\"Ok, two more.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_5]] [["\"Not if I gave extras for miscounting.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_5]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_5]]$name snapped the spoon against Keiko's left cheek twice in rapid succession, one on top of the other. Keiko squealed and bounced. Her legs lashed out, and glanced off a sudden flare of crimson light near $name's shin. $name sucked in a breath, and glanced at Juliana. The two shared an anxious look. Keiko didn't seem to notice, caught up as she was in her own misery. "Eight! Nine!" "Alright, you're done." $name stepped away. $She pulled $her closet door open with a shaking hand. $She put the spoon back on the shelf. [["\"I'd almost forgotten for a minute there.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_6]] [["\"Still not a dream.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_6]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_spank_keiko_bare_6]]Juliana touched $herm on the shoulder, before sitting back down next to Keiko, and giving the girl's bottom a thorough massage. "There that wasn't so bad was it?" "Better than getting my toenails pulled off maybe," muttered Keiko. "But not by much. That feels good though, thanks." "Hey, very important part of a spanking." Juliana smiled. "The post-spanking massage makes it clear that all is forgiven. It's like it never happened. That's one thing we got over you Canadians. You do something stupid, piss off a friend and you're all awkward for a while. Feel like you got a debt to pay. Not here. Here you bend over, take a few licks, get a massage and all is cleared away." "Eh, I think I'll stick to the acidic pain of long-lasting regret," said Keiko, rubbing her face against her arm. "Suite yourself. So you gonna barge into somebody else's room without knocking?" "No," said Keiko. "And I'll do my homework, go to class, and stay awake, attentive, and answering questions." Juliana chuckled. "Nothing like a sore bottom to encourage good behavior, eh?" [["\"Indeed. Now, what did 'the Auburn One' want?\""|ep1d2_post_keiko_spanking]] [["\"Though it lasts longer for some of us than others.\""|ep1d2_post_keiko_spanking]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_post_keiko_spanking]]$name studied Keiko's bottom for a moment, noting how her panties exposed a fair amount of lower cheek, and left the sitspots completely exposed. An evil grin played across $name's face. $She placed one hand on the small of Keiko's back, right at the top of her bottom. $She tapped the spoon lightly against a bit of Keiko's exposed right cheek, and snapped it up and down. Keiko squeaked and her panty-clad butt bobbed. "You're not going to take her panties down?" asked Juliana. "Nope, every stroke's still gonna hit bare flesh though," said $name, thwapping Keiko's right sitspot. Juliana winced as Keiko yelped. "All twenty strokes on her lower cheeks?" "Yup." $name landed three sharp, fast strokes to Keiko's lower left cheek, making the girl squirm and squeal. Juliana shook her head. "Remind me never to piss you off." [["\"Noted.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_sit_spots_1]] [["\"Like that'll stop you.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_sit_spots_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_spank_keiko_sit_spots_1]]$name landed four more hard and fast strokes to Keiko's left lower cheek. Keiko bounced up and down on the bed, her small butt bobbing up and down. "It hurts!" wailed the girl. "Of course it does," said $name. $She ran $her hand across Keiko's left cheek, and landed a stinging stroke to the girl's left sitspot. "I'm not doing this for my health. Besides, we're already halfway done." "Only halfway?" wailed Keiko. $name stepped back a moment to give Keiko a bit of a break. Juliana sat down on the bed next to her. "Keiko, you have to relax your bottom," said Juliana, running one hand over the girl's toasty bum. "Tensing'll just makes it more sore later. Trust me, I know. The key to surviving a spanking is to stay relaxed. Just roll with it." Keiko muttered something incoherent. "Just take a deep breath, and focus on relaxing." Juliana glanced at $name, who stepped forward. She removed her hand, and instead started rubbing Keiko's back. [["\"Please stop massaging her. This is a punishment.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_sit_spots_2]] [["\"Not being very punishing right now.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_sit_spots_2]] [[Gesture for Juliana to move her hands.|ep1d2_spank_keiko_sit_spots_2]]$name put $her hand back on the small of the girl's back. Juliana glanced at the spoon, removed her hands, and scooted a few inches away. $name unleashed five rapid fire smacks to Keiko's right cheek, making the girl buck and kick. She didn't try to get up though, and $name shifted $her attention to the girl's left cheek, doing the exact same thing. Keiko squirmed and thrashed through the last five blows, her bottom spasming and bucking wildly. "Alright, we're done," said $name. $She returned to the closet and replaced the spoon. "And FYI, thrashing like that is a good way to earn extra strokes." "Extra?" whimpered Keiko. "Not from us. Bylaws forbid extending a punishment for any reason other than resistance," said Juliana. She began kneading Keiko's tender flesh, making the young woman sigh. "But there are a fair amount of people out there who think you should take your spanking quickly and quietly. That includes not squirming when you get whacked." [["\"Yeah, prolly.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_sit_spots_3]] [["\"Preaching to the choir.\""|ep1d2_spank_keiko_sit_spots_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_spank_keiko_sit_spots_3]]Juliana shrugged. "Just warning you." Keiko sighed. "Hate America." Juliana smiled. "Oh it's not so bad. Now just relax and let me rub some of the sting away. The after-care is very important, you know. Makes it clear to the perpetrator that all is forgiven. Water under the bridge and all that." "How about next time you skip the spanking and go straight to the massage," said Keiko, her voice muffled by her forearm. "Then it wouldn't be a punishment silly," said Juliana. "Punishments are supposed to suck." After giving Keiko a few minutes to recover, the three stepped into the common room, Keiko blushing a little. <<set $ep1d2KeikoSpanked to true>> [["\"So, what does the 'Auburn One' want?\""|ep1d2_post_keiko_spanking]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_post_keiko_spanking]]$name handed Juliana the spoon, and stepped back a little to give her room. "Do you have to watch?" asked Keiko, twisting around to look at $name over her outhrust ass. "Couldn't you like step outside, or something?" Juliana took the waistband of Keiko's panties and tugged them down to her knees, fully exposing her rich chocolate, heart-shaped bottom. "It's $her room you barged into. $She has a right to watch your thrashing." Keiko whimpered. "But it's embarassing!" "That's part of the punishment," said Juliana. She lined the spoon up against Keiko's right cheek. "Besides, it's not like $she's never been spanked. $She gets spanked all the time. Misbehaving brat is what $she is." [["\"Only because you keep dragging me into crap, and can't drag me back out again.\""|ep1d2_carrie_spanks_keiko_watch_1]] [["\"Oh, *I'm* the brat?

Juliana cracked the spoon against Keiko's right cheek with a sharp *snap!* Keiko kicked her legs. "Oww!" "Oh stop fussing." Juliana landed a quick stroke to each cheek. "The spoon isn't that bad." "It stings like hell!" wailed Keiko. "Watch the language." Juliana landed three hard and fast strokes to Keiko's left cheek, making the girl buck and squirm. "And you haven't known sting until you've felt a purpleheart paddle." Juliana gave Keiko's right cheek four swift, stinging strokes. Keiko squirmed and yelped, her little bottom thrashing back and forth. Juliana set the spoon down and ran a hand over Keiko's right cheek. "Keiko, you need to relax your bottom." "But it hurts," wailed the girl. "I know, but you'll bruise more if you clench. Trust me, the best way to take a spanking is to relax and just roll with it. Let it happen, and wash over you," said Juliana. [["\"Is that why spankings never seem to work on you?\"" |ep1d2_carrie_spanks_keiko_watch_2]] [["\"So that's your secret to spanking invulnerability?\"" |ep1d2_carrie_spanks_keiko_watch_2]]"It's not that spankings don't work on me," said Juliana. She landed four swift smacks to Keiko's right cheek, and four to her left, making the girl bounce and squeal. "It's that I keep thinking I won't get caught. Kinda arrogant like that." "I'll say." Juliana patted Keiko's back. "Alright, just two more. You ready? I'm going to give them to you on your sit spots. Be warned, it stings like crazy there." Keiko whimpered, and her bottom clenched. "Now, now, I need you to relax," said Juliana, running her nails lightly over Keiko's skin. Keiko giggled and squirmed. "That tickles." "There you see? It can't be that bad if you're laughing," said Juliana. "Yes it can," said Keiko with a pout. "Ready?" said Juliana. "No." [["\"One never is.\""|ep1d2_carrie_spanks_keiko_watch_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_carrie_spanks_keiko_watch_3]]"Too late, I'm smacking you anyway!" Juliana struck Keiko's sit spots with the spoon in a quick one-two smack. "Owww!" Keiko bucked about on the bed, her hand snapping back to rub her bottom. "Lightweight," said Juliana with a shake of her head. She tossed the spoon to $name. "To be fair, it was her first." $name returned the spoon to its place on the top shelf of the closet. "And you see how little padding she's got?" "That's true. You really want to survive a spanking, what you need is some good padding." Juliana gave her own bottom a flesh-jiggling smack. <<set $ep1d2KeikoSpanked to true>> [["\"Indeed.

"Look, I just don't like watching people be in pain, ok?" said $name. "I'll see you in a few." $name stepped out, closed the door behind $herm, and turned towards the living area. Two of $her suitemates occupied the living room. Alexandra lounged on the sofa, playing with her phone. She was very tall, most of her height coming from long, toned legs. She had a slender, toned build: thin waist, smallish breasts, flat stomach and bubble butt. She had rich chestnut hair draped over the arm of the couch and held out of her face by a golden hairband. She wore a short white skater skirt, and a tight black off-the-shoulder crop top that bared her shoulders and midriff. Vanessa sat curled up in an over-sized recliner with a book open in her lap. She was of average height, and had a voluptuous, hourglass figure: substantial breasts, reasonably narrow waist, wide hips and large, protruding bubble butt. She had lily white skin and shoulder-length raven black hair tied back into a ponytail. She wore a pair of dark blue cut-off jean shorts and a black t-shirt emblazoned with the rictus grin of the heavy metal band Vicious. [["\"Hey girls.\""|ep1d2_carrie_spanks_keiko_leave_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_carrie_spanks_keiko_leave_1]]The other two waved at $her, but otherwise ignored $her. $name <<sore 'eased' 'sat'>> down <<sore 'into' 'on'>> one of the chairs, <<sore 'hissing a little' ' sighing a little'>> as $her <<sore 'sore' ''>> bottom <<sore 'touched' 'settled into'>> the cushions. $She picked up the remote and flipped on the ginormous television Alexandra had brought with her. $She flipped through the channels a bit, before settling on a Saturday morning cartoon about a team of superheroes. $She wondered how long before such superpowered shenanigans became non-fiction. $She and Buzzsaw couldn't be the only ones with superpowers, and surely one of them was going to be dumb enough to put on a silly costume and run around fighting crime. A few minutes later, Juliana and Keiko came out. Keiko's eyes were bright with tears, and she was rubbing her bottom furiously. <<set $ep1d2KeikoSpanked to true>> [["\"Stings, doesn't it?\""|ep1d2_beach]] [["\"Hope Juliana wasn't too mean to you.\""|ep1d2_beach]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_beach]]They entered the main room to find two more of their suitemates waiting for them: Alexandra and Vanessa. Alexandra lounged on the sofa, playing with $her phone. She was very tall even without heels. She had long, toned legs and a slender-but-toned build: thin waist, smallish breasts, flat stomach and bubble butt. She had rich chestnut hair draped over the arm of the couch and held out of her face by a golden hairband. She wore a short white skater skirt, and a tight black off-the-shoulder crop top that bared her shoulders and midriff. Vanessa sat curled up in an over-sized recliner with a book open in her lap. She was of average height, and had a voluptuous, hourglass figure: substantial breasts, reasonably narrow waist, wide hips and large, protruding bubble butt. She had lily white skin and shoulder-length raven black hair tied back into a ponytail. She wore a pair of dark blue cut-off jean shorts and a black t-shirt emblazoned with the rictus grin of the heavy metal band Vicious. [["\"Hey girls.\""|ep1d2_beach]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_beach]]"Yes," declaimed Keiko, putting her hands on her hips. "For we Canadians recognize that all things are of the utmost importance, and must be dealt with using the gravity they demand!" "That's a load of crock," said Juliana with a smile. "I met your mother when your parents were helping you move in. She was very quiet and soft spoken." "But dramatically quiet!" roared Keiko, holding up a finger. "If only you could say the same," came a sardonic comment from the common room. "Why don't you guys come out here, so we can discuss the day?" [["\"Well, got nothing better to do.\""|ep1d2_post_keiko_spanking]] [["\"Bah! Discussing days is for pansies! Let's just live our lives! Live in the moment! Embrace the chaos!\""|ep1d2_post_keiko_spanking]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_post_keiko_spanking]]"We need to go to the beach," said Alexandra, lowering $her phone and flashing a bleached-teeth grin. "It's supposed to be like, super hot today. 80 plus." Keiko's eyes bugged out of her head. "Fahrenheit," said Juliana. "Oh," said Keiko. Alexandra's face pinched. "Duh. I don't know Kelvin." "I think you meant Celsius." Juliana walked over to the counter behind the sofa that served as an impromptu food pantry. It had a couple of loaves of bread, some apples, a half-bushel of bananas, a box of Cheerios, a microwave, a coffee pot, and a toaster on it. Vanessa had brought a small fridge with her, and that sat wedged into a bit of wall space between the end of the counter, and the hallway. The hallway was lined by the bathroom and the other four rooms (Juliana's and $name's opened out into the common room directly). "Aww poo, we're all out of your mom's cookies." "Yeah, and I noticed somebody having more than $her fair share," said Alexandra, leveling a glare on $name. [["\"Keiko said I could have hers.\""|ep1d2_beach_1]] [["\"I didn't steal it! Keiko said I could have it.\""|ep1d2_beach_1]]"What is wrong with you?" Juliana stared aghast a Keiko. "How could you give up cookies?" "Oatmeal raisin is the most foul breed of cookies to ever curse Mankind!" raged Keiko, shaking her fist to the sky. "They are an abomination! A blight! A mockery, a perversion of the True Cookies!" "You are so weird," said Alexandra, a bit of a huff in her voice, her eyes once more glued to her phone. "So. Is 80+ hot?" asked Keiko. "80's about 26.6," said Juliana. She peeled a banana and started chomping. Keiko threw her hands in the air. "Such heat is beyond the ken of mortal man. Imagine if I could but capture a fraction of it to take back to Toronto. There would I be viewed as unto a god. A dark, terrible god with the very power of the sun clenched in my fist! They would have no choice but to bow down and worship at my feet, or face my hot, fiery wrath!" [["\"K.\""|ep1d2_beach_2a]] [["\"Cool story.\""|ep1d2_beach_2a]] [[Burst out laughing."I think you just made my day!"|ep1d2_beach_2a]] [["\"Hell yeah! You could be called the Sunqueen. Or Soleiko!\""|ep1d2_beach_2a]] [["\"Eh. You get used to it.\""|ep1d2_beach_2a]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_beach_2a]]The others all stared at her. Keiko held her dramatic pose, her eyes gazing to the heavens, one hand held aloft, while the other was clenched into a fist at her side. "Well, I think it sounds like fun," said Vanessa, tearing her gaze away from Keiko. "Me too." The toast popped, and Juliana snatched it out. She pulled some grape jelly out of the fridge, and began smathering it on. "I've got this delicious little bikini I've been wanting to wear. Mamma'd take her slipper to me from now 'till Christmas if she caught me in it." <<if $ep1d1JulianaSpanked>> <<include ep1d2_carrie_marked>> <<else>> <<include ep1d2_beach_2>> <</if>>"But Juliana, aren't you worried about..." $name pointed at $her bottom. "Oh, I already checked. I didn't mark," said Juliana with a grin. She took a big bite of her toast. "You know me. What about you?" "Umm..." $name blinked, then slipped back into $her room. $She pulled $her pajamas down, and eyed $her bottom. Smooth, unmarked skin greeted her gaze. [["\"K.\""|ep1d2_carrie_marked_1]] [["\"Weird.\""|ep1d2_carrie_marked_1]] [[Huh.|ep1d2_carrie_marked_1]]Usually $she was much more prone to marking than Juliana, much to $her raging jealousy. Could it have been a side-effect of $her glowy powers? It'd be nice if something good came out of the other night. Of course, $her ass still felt like it should have been covered in welts. Ah well. Guess you couldn't have everything. $She slipped back out into the common room, and gave Juliana a shake of $her head. Juliana's eyes lit up. She finished her toast, and clapped her hands. "Yay!" Vanessa lurched backwards, a look of disgust on her face. "Keep your mouth closed when you chew. You almost hit me in the face with toasted shrapnel." Juliana swallowed her mouthful. "Sorry." Vanessa grunted. "Do it again and we'll add table manners to the bylaws." [["\"No! I would be doomed. Doooomed!\""|ep1d2_beach_2]] [["\"I support this measure.\""|ep1d2_beach_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_beach_2]]Juliana glanced about the common room. "Hey, what about Natalie? We should invite her too." Alexandra groaned. "You're almost too much nerd for me, and you've got fashion sense. Natalie would ruin the whole day." [["\"Wow. Dick much?\""|ep1d2_beach_3]] [["\"*Juliana* is too much nerd for you? What isn't too much nerd for you? A lump of stone?\""|ep1d2_beach_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_beach_3]]As if on cue, a door opened at the far end of the hallway, and a short, squat girl with very small breasts and a disproportionally large ass poked her head into the room. Her brown hair barely brushed her chin, and looked like she'd only put a token effort into maintaining it. She had a babyish face that made her look younger than she actually was and big brown eyes. The smattering of freckles across her nose and cheeks didn't help any either. She had a slightly dazed look about her, like most of her brain was off processing something else. She wore a pair of frumpy sweat pants, and a wrinkled, slightly stained black shirt that said "Talk nerdy to me." "What are you guys doing?" asked Natalie in a soft voice, fixating on Juliana. "Nothing you'd care about," said Alexandra, not even looking up from $her phone. "Now bugger off before you give the coffee pot a tide." Natalie frowned, and glanced at the pot. Her eyes widened, and she room. [["\"Wow. Dick much.\""|ep1d2_beach_4]] [["\"Ouch.\""|ep1d2_beach_4]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_beach_4]]"Natalie, wait." Juliana knocked on her door. "Natalie, come on. Don't listen to her." "3.14159265..." said Natalie, her voice just shy of shouting. Juliana stalked back into the common room. She put her hands on her hips and glared at Alexandra. "What's your problem?" "My problem?" said Alexandra lowering $her phone and rising to a sitting position. "What's yours?" "You accused her of having an ass the size of the moon," said Juliana. "She does." "It's no bigger than mine," said Juliana. [["\"Or mine!\""|ep1d2_beach_5]] [["\"Well...\""|ep1d2_beach_5]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_beach_5]]"Yes it is, and besides you're not all crazy out of proportion," said Alexandra. "That girl's a good three inches shorter than you. She should be more like Keiko's size. Besides, have you seen how she dresses? Can you imagine how stupid we'd look, us in our sexy awesome bathing suits, and her in a pair of sweat pants and some stupid shirt with a phrase that only sounds witty to a drunk, retarded monkey that doesn't speak English? She'd probably have her laptop too, and just sit there staring at crazy symbols and colored text." "Don't be stupid," said Juliana. "No computer nerd with half a brain would take their laptops to the beach. Sand gets everywhere." "All the more reason for her not to come. She's not gonna wanna go anywhere she can't bring her precious laptop," said Alexandra. Juliana's left eye twitched a bit. Mama's eye did that sometimes. It usually signaled the imminent crushing of every hope you ever had of sitting. "Besides, it's not like it's against the bylaws or anything," said Alexandra. "Not unless she presses it." Juliana's hands closed into fists. [["\"Wait, who decided insulting each other wasn't against the bylaws?\""|ep1d2_beach_6]] [["\"That's a hell of a loophole.\""|ep1d2_beach_6]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_beach_6]]Vanessa stood and put a calming hand on Juliana's shoulder. "Alexandra was a snotty bitch to Natalie, yes." "Only way some girls listen," said Alexandra, turning back to $her phone. "But she wouldn't have come anyway. She never does," said Vanessa. "I'll be out in a minute." Juliana spun on her heel and walked into her room, slamming the door behind her. "She'll get over it." Alexandra put $her legs up on the back of the couch. "I'm already changed, and packed. Let me know when you're all ready." $name returned to $her room, and pulled open $her closet. A little bit of hunting turned up $her three bathing suits. <<if $gender == "female" or $femaleoutfits.includes($pants) or $femaleoutfits.includes($shirt)>> <<include ep1d2_bathing_suit_female_a>> <<else>> <<include ep1d2_bathing_suit_male_a>> <</if>>[["\"Let's see.

She had a black tie-side full cut bikini that covered all and only the important bits. Finally, she had a black thong bikini that Juliana browbeat her into getting a few weeks ago. Mama would have a conniption fit if she saw her in that.

He also had a dark blue speedo that covered all the important bits, but not much else. Finally, craziest of them all, he had a black thong speedo that Juliana had convinced him to purchase. If Mom ever learned he so much as owned this thing... Stupid Juliana always getting him in trouble.

Holy crap, it was tight, and $name couldn't help but wonder if his package was small, medium or large.

He glanced at himself in the mirror, and his blush deepened. His package was covered, in name at least. Hopefully it was on the larger size, or at least medium.

Vanessa was still dressed in her Vicious shirt and cut-off jeans, though she had added a large pair of sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat and a beach bag to the mix. Juliana wore a diaphanous aquamarine beach dress, just thick enough to obscure her legs and bottom, just light enough to suggest that she might maybe be wearing something pretty tiny underneath it. Keiko wore a flower-print tied-off shirt and a pair of khaki short shorts. She also wore a wide brimmed hat, and comically large sunglasses. The car ride to the beach was pretty quiet (even Alexandra seemed to have the good sense not to further upset Juliana). But the tension turned to excitement as the fresh smell of Lake Michigan permeated the car and the bright sand came into view. [["\"Don't think I've ever been here.\""|ep1d2_reach_beach_1]] [["\"Wow, I didn't even know this existed.\""|ep1d2_reach_beach_1]]Alexandra rolled $her eyes. "Obviously. You've never been with me. A *very* exclusive stretch of beach. Richest sand, cleanest and most gorgeous water for miles. Even I'd be hard pressed to get in here, but the owner owes my mom a few favors. Mom was one of the first people to invest in his company, you know. There was at least a quarter where her money was the only thing keeping him afloat." "Ballsy of your mom to keep investing in him when everyone else pulled out." Vanessa pushed the door open and stepped out into the sunlight. "My mom knows a winner when she sees one." Alexandra locked the car, and put $her keys into $her bag. "Holy cow," said Keiko. "Those waitresses' bikinis are smaller than Juliana's!" Alexandra rolled her eyes. "Only if they were naked." "Has this sand been combed?" Vanessa stepped out onto the swept beach. "And stripped clean of rocks, and seashells" said Alexandra. "At least until you get to the water. What's a beach without hunting for seashells and fossils?" [["\"Cultivated to look natural. Welcome to America.\""|ep1d2_reach_beach_2]] [["\"I didn't know we had this many rich people in Generica.\""|ep1d2_reach_beach_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_reach_beach_2]]The quintet made their way to an open stretch of sand about halfway between the entrance and the water, close enough to the volleyball nets to watch the pickup games, not close enough to get hit by stray balls. Vanessa eyed the volleyball net as she helped Juliana set out the blankets, while Keiko and $name wrestled with the umbrella. "Hey," she called to the nearest net. "You guys looking for players?" A muscled blonde man grinned. "'Course. The more the merrier." Vanessa grinned. She ripped off her shirt and shorts, to reveal a dark blue high-cut one piece that showed off her muscular physique. "Come on, let's play!" "Ugh." Alexandra, stripped off $her top and skirt to reveal a small red tie-bikini. The top formed an x across her chest while the bottom seemed to take particular joy in flashing a bit of cheek. "God no. I came here to lie in the sun before school gets stupid, not roll around in the sand like a pig." She pointed at a nearby waitress. "You there! Yes, you! My name is Alexandra Silver and I demand a beach chair right here, right now!" [["\"Wow. Dicko mucho.\""|ep1d2_reach_beach_4]] [["\"What smart kids say to sex.\""|ep1d2_reach_beach_4]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_reach_beach_4]]Juliana's lips thinned. She pulled off her dress. She wore a teeny tiny little aquamarine g-string bikini that showed off every inch of her firm yet bouncy bottom, and all but the most important bits of her pillowy breasts. "I'll happily play. Come on $name." "But-" Juliana grabbed $name's wrist and dragged $herm to the net. "No buts, only fun. Besides, you could use the exercise." "Got enough exercise the other night," muttered $name. Juliana gave $name a sad puppy face. $name sighed and removed $her outer clothing. [["\"Fine. Stupid sad puppy face.\""|ep1d2_reach_beach_5]] [["\"Well, there are some hotties over there.\""|ep1d2_reach_beach_5]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_reach_beach_5]]Juliana's pout melted into a dazzling grin. <<risque '"Hey, you\'re wearing that bikini we got you. Awesome."' ' "Always knew I could count on you."'>> "Very well," said Keiko. She shook her fist at the net. "They shall rue the day they dared to challenge Keiko Abe to volleyball." What followed was your standard volleyball game played by young, over-sexed college students more interested in watching their respective genders of interest jump around in minimal clothing than in actually hitting the ball. Keiko spent more time threatening vengeance and challenging people to a game of curling than she did actually hitting the ball. Juliana's primary talent seemed to be distracting the men on both sides of the net, with mixed results. Vanessa, however, was in rare form. She was nothing but diving saves, perfectly placed sets, perfectly targeted serves, and brutal spikes. During a water break, Juliana approached $name and leaned on $her shoulder. She gestured with her chin towards Alexandra's prone form, and spoke in a hushed voice. "So Alexandra is something else." [[Shrug|ep1d2_reach_beach_3]] [["\"That's probably the nicest way of putting it.\""|ep1d2_reach_beach_3]] [["\"Oh God, don't even get me started.\""|ep1d2_reach_beach_3]]Juliana grinned mischievously. "She looks so good on that high horse. Wanna help me knock her off?" "What did you have in mind?" Juliana leaned forward and whispered her plan in $name's ear. "There is no way that will work." "Come on, it'll be fine. Everyone follows patterns. You just gotta find 'em, and exploit 'em." [["\"Alright, alright.\""|ep1d2_help_carrie_1]] [["\"Well, just because it won't work, doesn't mean it won't be fun to try.

Juliana pulled $name back onto the volleyball court. They played a few more volleys before the volleyball landed close to the out of bounds line on $name's side. Juliana winked at $name. "What're you all celebrating for?" asked $name. "That wasn't your point." The man who had invited them to play frowned. "Of course it was." "No it wasn't." $name walked over and pointed at the impact. From $her perspective, it was clear the impact was inside the line. "The indentation is clearly outside the line." Vanessa rolled her eyes, and approached the spot. "Crap, Vanessa look out," said Juliana just after tossing a water bottle at her. Vanessa spun and lurched, her hand snapping out to catch the bottle in mid-air. "The hell?" "Sorry. You were looking at me, so I started to toss you the bottle, but then you turned away, and I couldn't exactly stop." The man crossed the court to take a look at the impact. "One nice thing about beach volleyball. Easy enough to resolve line disputes." [["\"True.\""|ep1d2_help_carrie_2]] [["\"Not the only thing.\""|ep1d2_help_carrie_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_help_carrie_2]]The man stepped up next to the divet. "Hey, watch it," said $name, giving the man a shove. $She added a touch of scarlet energy. "You almost scuffed the impact point." <<include ep1d2_spanking_goldberg>>"Hey." The blonde man stumbled backwards and tripped over a large canister full of fancy beach umbrellas. The canister crushed a sandcastle that had just been completed by several cherubic children. Their faces contorted and they began to bawl. A mother hurried around the canister to tend to them. The father did the same thing around the other side and the two collided. The father stumbled backwards and smacked into a gaggle of teenage girls, who all scattered like bowling pins. One of them tripped over a man reading a book and knocked over a cooler full of beer. A particularly high strung miniature pinscher, startled by the sudden crash bolted around behind its owner's legs, wrapping the leash around him. The owner cursed, stumbled, and grabbed his wife's shoulder. The wife, caught off guard by the sudden weight, toppled over. A buxom yet thin waitress clad in a small teal thong bikini rushed past. She had time to form a small "o" with her mouth before she tripped over the woman and spilled a whole tray full of drinks all over Alexandra. [["\"Holy shit. It *did* work.\""|ep1d2_help_carrie_3]] [["\"Not quite as planned, but close enough I guess.\""|ep1d2_help_carrie_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_help_carrie_3]]"Look at what you've done! How the hell am I going to get all this shit off me?" Alexandra leapt to $her feet, $her hands hovering just above the syrupy liquid. "I-I'm sorry Miss Silver." The waitress lightly touched Alexandra's back. "Here, let's go to the lake-" "Don't touch me!" spat Alexandra, stomping $her foot. "I'm not moving. You made this mess, you will clean it up right now." "I'm trying miss-" "You want to drag me into the lake. Do you have any idea how many bawling babies have pissed in that thing?" asked Alexandra. "It's almost as disgusting as this sludge you splattered all over me." "I-it was an accident-" "And so were you. Now shut up and get me clean," said Alexandra. The waitress' lower lip quivered. She glanced about. "But I don't have a towel or anything-" Alexandra snarled. She grabbed the girl by the arm, sat down on $her beach chair, and yanked the young woman across $her lap. She vigorously slapped the girl's tight, exposed cheeks. [["\"OK, that wasn't expected.\""|ep1d2_help_carrie_4]] [["\"Dammit Juliana.\""|ep1d2_help_carrie_4]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_help_carrie_4]]"Oww! Miss, stop! Oww!" yelped the girl, scissor-kicking as Alexandra's hand battered her twitching cheeks. "You can't do this!" "Oh, yes I can," said Alexandra, landing a trio of sharp smacks to the crease where cheek met thigh, making the girl squeal. "I am Alexandra Silver!" "I-I mean-oww!-it's against beach-oww!-rules," said the girl, squirming madly in an attempt to escape Alexandra's apparently iron grip. "You have to-oww!-file complaints with-" "Excuse me?" Alexandra unleashed a flurry of rapid-fire smacks to the middle of the girl's right cheek, making it bounce and wiggle despite its obvious fitness. "I am Alexandra Silver! Your management's boss would be a druggie on the street if it weren't for *my* mother." $name glanced at Juliana. Juliana shrugged, and smiled sheepishly. "This is ridiculous," said Vanessa with a growl. "Alexandra-" A tall, pale woman with broad shoulders and hips rushed onto the scene. She kept her black hair wrapped in a bun, and wore a light blue sleeveless dress that extended to her ankles and showed off her muscular arms. "What in heaven's name is going on here?" [["Quietly: \"Nothing much.

Alexandra removed one of $her sandals. She lifted $her head imperiously and looked the woman in the eye. "So I'm going to take my sandal to her clumsy ass." The woman's eyes narrowed, and she hands on her hips. "I saw the whole sorry chain of events. A gold metal gymnast would have spilled those drinks. Now, let her up." "Who are you to tell me what do to? My name-" "*My* name is Delryn Rossi and I am the general manager on duty. If you have a problem with one of my waitresses, you come to *me*, and *I* will decide what, if any, discipline is required. Now let. Her. Up." "How dare you take that tone with me," said Alexandra, defiantly raising the sandal. "Girl, you'll have a lot more to worry about than my tone if you keep this up," said Delryn. "I will count to three-" Alexandra whipped the sandal into the waitress' left cheek, making it wobble and the girl yelp. She gave the manager a look that dared her to do something about it. [["\"Heh heh heh.\""|ep1d2_help_carrie_6]] [["Quietly: \"I was right, this is really interesting.\""|ep1d2_help_carrie_6]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_help_carrie_6]]Delryn tipped the beach chair, sending the two young adults sprawling across the sand. She grabbed Alexandra around the waist, sat down in the chair, and pulled the mostly naked woman across her large lap. She rained hard slaps down on Alexandra's exposed, jiggly butt. "Ow, ow, ow!" Alexandra squirmed. "How dare you! When--oww--mommy hears of this--" "Hopefully, she'll take a hairbrush to your naked little butt until it's been permanently engraved onto your skin." Delryn battered Alexandra's bouncing bottom with impressive speed and strength. "I find that highly unlikely. So *I'll* just have to pick up the slack." Alexandra kicked and squealed like a schoolgirl taking $her very first spanking. Delryn's hand nonetheless rose and fell with the same brutal pace. "I just wanted to get this sticky shit off of me," wailed Alexandra. "Is that so?" The boss swatted the plump, bouncing rear. "Perhaps you could have just asked nicely then, hmm?" "Give me a--ouch!--break! How am I ever going to get this off my bathing suit--yow!--or, God, out of my hair?" "I'll happily help you. You just need to say please," The manager landed a few more swats to the pinkening rump. [["\"That looks like it hurts.\""|ep1d2_help_carrie_7]] [["\"Well, on the bright side, Alex's getting the tanning she wanted.\""|ep1d2_help_carrie_7]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_help_carrie_7]]"I don't want your--oww!--help," snapped Alexandra. She hand around $her bottom, but Delryn snagged the wrist, and pinned it against the girl's bare lower back. "Now, now. It would be terrible customer service if I didn't help you," said Delryn. "So I'm not letting you up until you've asked nicely to be cleaned off. Then I will see what I can do." "No! Let me go!" Alexandra scissor-kicked desperately. Delryn stopped spanking Alexandra long enough to hold the girl's toned legs down, hike her dress up a bit and hook one broad leg over Alexandra's slender legs. She resumed the heavy smacks, harder and faster than before. Alexandra shrieked, and bucked $her hips wildly. Tears flowed freely down $her face. "OK-oww! oww! oww!-I'm sorry, please help me get this shit off!" "OK." Delryn pushed Alexandra off her lap and stood. Alexandra clambered to $her feet, clutching $her bright red bottom and hissing. [["\"Oh, Alex don't fall for that.\""|ep1d2_help_carrie_8]] [["\"Yeouch, that's gonna burn for a while.\""|ep1d2_help_carrie_8]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_help_carrie_8]]Delryn threw the young woman over $her shoulder with barely more than a grunt of effort. "Hey! Put me down!" Alexandra pounded $her hands against Delryn's back, and kicked $her legs frantically, nearly hitting Delryn in the face. "I'm just doing what you asked." Delryn slowly walked to the lake, swatting Alexandra's bouncing butt with every step. She dumped the girl into the warm water. " Go ahead. Get to it!" "This is disgusting," wailed Alexandra, scrambling to $her feet, and shivering. "This isn't what I asked for!" "You're right. You asked for this." Delryn bent Alexandra over and untied the girl's bikini bottoms. As the bottoms fell into the water, she's naked wet ass right there in the surf. Alexandra squirmed and squealed. "No! Stop! Oww! I didn't ask-oww!-for this either!" "Then start washing girl," said Delryn with a flurry of smacks to the girl's right cheek. As soon as Delryn let go, Alexandra ducked into the water, and began scrubbing at $her skin, hair, and swimsuit, $her face almost as red as $her ass. [["\"Poor girl.\""|ep1d2_help_carrie_9]] [["\"Heh heh heh.\""|ep1d2_help_carrie_9]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_help_carrie_9]]"Alright, looks good to me. Let's get you back to the beach to address that filthy mouth of yours," said Delryn. "Oh, don't bother putting those on yet." Alexandra gave Delryn a horrified look. Delryn pulled Alexandra to $her feet, and folded Alexandra's wrist behind $her's back. She frog marched Alexandra back to the beach chair, swatting the girl with every step. Alexandra emitted a cacophony of yelps, $her naked ass bouncing beneath the hard strokes. The boss traded her grip on the girl's wrist for one on $her ear, sat down on the chair and pulled Alexandra's head down even with her own. "I remember what you were going to do to my waitress. And, frankly, it's just what *you* deserve!" The boss tossed Alexandra back over her lap and picked up the sandal. [["\"The karma is real.\""|ep1d2_spanking_goldberg_4]] [["\"Can't help but feel this is getting excessive.\""|ep1d2_spanking_goldberg_4]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_spanking_goldberg_4]]She pelted the brat's tanned, wobbly ass with the sandal. "No!" wailed Alexandra, scissor-kicking, punching and squirming. "Not with my own sandaaaal!" Delryn gave the wailing no mind, her total concentration on the girl's red, naked, wiggling ass and the hard sandal in her hand. "I-I'm sorry!" Alexandra squealed. She kicked her legs wildly flashing a whole lot more than she put $her bikini on earlier that day. "I'm not the one you should apologize to." The boss motioned with the sandal for her employee to step forward, before bringing it down extra hard on Alexandra's sit spots, once on each cheek. "AWWOOOoo! I-I'm sorry! Really, I - OUCH!- am!" "What's that, ma'am? I didn't hear you," the waitress asked innocently. "I-oww!-said I'm-agh!-sorry! Owww!" wailed Alexandra. [["\"I'd have given in so much faster.\""|ep1d2_spanking_goldberg_5]] [["\"Musta hurt, falling that far off her high horse.\""|ep1d2_spanking_goldberg_5]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_spanking_goldberg_5]]"I'm glad you've learned your lesson. That just leaves a few swats for that potty mouth of yours. Let's see, I recall three uses of vulgarity, so let's give you five for each? What do you think?" "I think that's--oww!" "Not you," said Delryn as she landed a particularly hard stroke to the girl's left cheek. She gestured towards the audience. "I'm asking them." Alexandra eeped, and her face turned even redder. There was a cacophonous cheering from the crowd. Only Vanessa didn't seem to be joining in. She stood watching with arms crossed, an uneasy look on her face. [["\"Ok, now this is feeling like a bloodsport.\""|ep1d2_spanking_goldberg_6]] [["\"Can't we just show her a little mercy? She's had enough!\""|ep1d2_spanking_goldberg_6]] [["\"Yeah! Swat her bottom until it boils!\""|ep1d2_spanking_goldberg_6]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_spanking_goldberg_6]]"Oh, oh, come on! D-don't you think that's a bit much?" Alexandra sobbed. "They don't seem to think so. Don't worry, honey, I'm sure they'll count for you." Delryn wrapped a muscular leg around her victim's legs and locked Alexandra's right hand against the small of Alexandra's back. Delryn began the finale. Alexandra squirmed fiercely and sobbed, but she was locked in position for the full count. "Alright, we're done." Delryn helped Alexandra off her lap. Alexandra hastily pulled her bikini bottoms back up. She danced in place, rubbing $her bottom and moaning. Vanessa approached her with a towel and wrapped it around her. Vanessa led the sobbing young woman back to $her towel. Keiko followed after them, watching Delryn like a horse watching a pack of wolves. $name and Juliana started to follow as well. "Hey! Where do you think you're going?!" Juliana and $name turned to see the young man who'd set off the Rube Goldberg spanking machine. He was limping a little, and $name noticed a bandage wrapped around his ankle. <<if $ep1d2_didntHelpJuliana>> <<include ep1d2_carrie_goldberg_trouble>> <<else>> <<include ep1d2_helped_carrie_goldberg_trouble>> <</if>>[["\"Oh, um, we're just going to go comfort our friend.\""|ep1d2_helped_carrie_talk]] [[Look over to Juliana for help.|ep1d2_helped_carrie_help]]"You're the one whose going to need some comforting!" <<include ep1d2_helped_carrie_switching>>The man grabbed $name by the ear and walked $herm towards the wooded area. He pushed $name over a stump, forcing $herm to push $her <<baring 'bare' 'lightly clad'>> cheeks into the air. He whaled on $name's firm butt with a weight-lifter's callused hand, $her <<baring 'tiny thong doing absolutely nothing to protect' ' thin bottoms barely protecting'>> $herm. $name desperately wanted to try to raise that crazy crimson shield of $hers, but $she dared not. Who knew how the guy would react if $name suddenly started glowing. After several minutes of vigorous spanking that left $name sobbing and red-bottomed, the man released his hold on $herm. $She jumped up and rubbed $her sore ass, half-expecting the man to push $herm back over for breaking position. But the man ignored $herm and walked over to a nearby tree. He broke off a large switch a good half-inch in diameter and two feet long, and gave it a few practice swings. [["\"Oh God, no not that. Anything but that!\""|ep1d2_helped_carrie_switching_1]] [["\"Goddammit Juliana!\""|ep1d2_helped_carrie_switching_1]] [[Shiver.|ep1d2_helped_carrie_switching_1]]"This oughta teach ya," he said. "Maybe next time you won't push someone over a controversial point in a *pickup game of volleyball where we weren't even keeping track*. Now bend back over, spread those legs, and stick your ass out." $name considered bolting. But this guy had a lot of friends back on the courts. The last thing $she needed was a group spanking in the middle of the beach. $name bent over, put $her palms on the stump, and spread $her legs wide apart. "You probably won't be wearing a bathing suit for a while, not unless you want to show off these stripes," The young man swished the implement down onto $name's <<fat>> thighs. The switch traced lines of fire up and down $her bare thighs. $name howled. The torment hit a whole new level when the man landed several strokes to the inside of each thigh, forcing $name to grip the hard stump with all $her might. [["\"Owww! Oww! Aggh! Oh God, it burns!\""|ep1d2_helped_carrie_switching_2]] [["\"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

He put his hand on the middle of $name's back, and pushed down until $her chest was pressed against the stump, forcing $her <<fat>>, throbbing ass to thrust up into the air. He fiercely striped $name's <<fat>>, burning sit spots over and over while $name writhed and cried. The thick switch snapped. $name slumped across the stump, taking deep breaths. "I'll see you two around," said the man. He gave $name's throbbing ass one last swat, and turned back towards the beach. "Be glad I'm not making you pay my medical bills." Juliana reached out to touch $name, but a glare from her red-bottomed friend knocked her back a step. "Aww, come on $name-" <<modifySore 1>> <<set $spankee to $spankee + 1>> [["\"Go to hell.\""|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped]] [["\"Don't you dare 'aww come on' me! This always happens with you!

She took a step forward, cocked one hip, and leaned forward a little, giving the man quite the view of her ample chest. The man blinked, his eyes riveted on the dark mounds. "Well, uhh, first I have to spank your friend for pushing me without reason." "Oh come on, that's no fun." Juliana siddled up to the man. She pressed her breasts against his side, and placed one hand on his chest. She rocked her hips. "I've got a better idea. How about we go and have a few drinks, and when my friend and I get home, I'll give her such a spanking, just the thought of pushing you will make her ass ache." "Umm..." The man looked down at Juliana, who gave him a sultry look through her eyelashes. A stupid grin spread across his face. "Well..." "Well?" Juliana flutered her eyelashes. The man wrapped an arm around Juliana's bare waist. He bent her over his hip, and smacked her bare, plump brown bottom. Juliana yelped and squirmed, her bottom bouncing and bobbing, her hips wiggling frantically back and forth, and her legs kicking beneath the onslaught. "Yeah, I get it. Men only think with their penises. A bit of grinding, some eyelash batting, and bam they've forgotten about everything but their swelling sausage. That right?" [["\"This has not been your weekend.\""|ep1d2_helped_carrie_help_1]] [["Quietly: \"Well, it was a good effort, I guess.\""|ep1d2_helped_carrie_help_1]] [["Quietly: \"Figures I push the one guy who doesn't.\""|ep1d2_helped_carrie_help_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_helped_carrie_help_1]]"No, that's not-oww!" "Don't lie to me." The man picked up the tempo, making Juliana's naked cheeks ripple like a pond in a rainstorm. "My ankle hurts like a bitch because your friend can't control $her temper. We weren't even keeping score for chrissake." "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," wailed Juliana. "Please stop, it hurts." "Yeah, you'd better be sorry," said the man. He landed some hard blows to her sitspots, and even a few smacks to her sensitive thighs. "I don't like being manipulated, you get me?" "Yes, yes! Oww! I won't-oww-do it again! Yeowww!" "Good." The man released Juliana, and let her stumble away, clutching at her stinging bottom. Then he turned towards $name, who took an anxious step back. "And now for you." [["\"Who, me?\""|ep1d2_helped_carrie_switching]] [["\"Heh heh, sorry?\""|ep1d2_helped_carrie_switching]] [[Back up a step.|ep1d2_helped_carrie_switching]]"Fine," said Juliana with a sigh. "Just sit back and watch. You might learn something!" The game continued without incident, until the volleyball hit the sand close to the line in Juliana's zone. The other side whooped and clapped. The man with whom Vanessa had originally spoken held out his hands for the ball. Juliana crossed her arms over her ample chest and cocked a hip. "Dunno what you're all excited about. That wasn't your point." The man frowned, and cocked his head. "You sure? It looked like it was in from here." "Come take a look," said Juliana. [["Quietly: \"This'll be amusing.\""|ep1d2_dont_help_carrie_1]] [["Quietly: \"I could warn him, I guess, but that sounds like work.\""|ep1d2_dont_help_carrie_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_dont_help_carrie_1]]The man approached and looked down. "Oh, come on, this is clearly in." "No it's not!" said Juliana, stamping her foot. "But here's the depression," said the man, pointing at the small hole in the sand. "The deepest part is obviously inside the court. It's our ball." "That's not where it landed." Juliana pointed towards a spot a few inches to the right. "That's where it landed." "Look, I know what volleyball depressions look like-" "Forget your depressions. I was standing right here," said Juliana. "And I was standing right there." The man pointed to just the other side of the net. "I had just as good an angle on it. Now stop being childish and give me the ball." "I'm not being childish," snapped Juliana, stomping her foot repeatedly against the sand. "You're just being a sore loser!" "Sore loser? We're not even keeping score," said the man. Some of his friends chuckled. "Now give me the damn ball before I turn you over my knee!" "We'll see whose going over whose knee!" Juliana gave the man a hard shove. <<set $ep1d2_didntHelpJuliana to true>> [["Quietly: \"Pretty sure it'll be you going over his.\""|ep1d2_spanking_goldberg]] [["Quietly: \"I'm so glad I stayed out of this.\""|ep1d2_spanking_goldberg]] [[Shake your head.|ep1d2_spanking_goldberg]][["\"We, ah, just need to comfort our friend.

"Hush, you naughty girl! I promised you a spanking, and I always fulfill my promises. When I feel like it." The man walked her towards the wooded area. Once there, he pushed her over a large stump, forcing her curvaceous, naked cheeks up into the air. With one hand pressed firmly against the middle of her back, the man whaled on Juliana's jiggly butt. Juliana gritted her teeth, her toes curling and twitching in time to the heavy smacks. [["\"Called it.\""|ep1d2_carrie_switched_1]] [["\"It sucks when you don't have a sacrificial lamb, doesn't it?\""|ep1d2_carrie_switched_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_carrie_switched_1]]After several minutes of vigorous spanking that left Juliana sobbing and red-bottomed, the man released his hold on her. Juliana jumped up and rubbed her sore plump ass, while the man walked over to the closest low-hanging branch and broke off a large switch a good half-inch in diameter and two feet long. "You should get what your friend got," He flicked the switch in Alexandra's direction. "But I don't have all day. So we'll have to improvise. Bend back over and spread those legs." Juliana bent back over the stump and spread her legs wide. "You won't be dressing in a bikini anytime soon without showing off these stripes." The switch swished, and the whippy wood bit into her bare thighs. Juliana howled. The man landed several strokes to the inside of each thigh. Juliana's hands dug into the stump, her knuckles whitening. After at least a dozen strokes, the man straightened and wiped a hand across his sweaty brow. "Let's finish this up, then." [["\"This is so great.\""|ep1d2_carrie_switched_2]] [["\"That really looks ouchy.\""|ep1d2_carrie_switched_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_carrie_switched_2]]He pressed his hand against the small of Juliana's back, and fiercely striped her bare sit spots over and over while she writhed and cried. The thick switch snapped. "Well, I guess that's that." He gave Juliana's striped ass one more hard smack, and walked back to the beach. "You guys are still welcome to play volleyball, by the way. No grudges." Juliana lay limply over the stump for several seconds. She slowly pushing herself up. "Owww..." $name shook her head. "This is why I didn't help you." Juliana grumbled, and gingerly rubbed her ass. She smiled, despite her tear-streaked face. "Still totally worth it. Did you see Alexandra's face? That was the face of a girl who needed a good, hard spanking." [["\"No matter the cost huh? I oughta give you a few swats myself.\""|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped]] [["\"Well, I guess that's true. And it was kind of fun to watch.\""|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped]] [["\"Vanessa didn't seem to agree.\""|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped]]"We're just heading to a more secluded place to comfort our friend," said Juliana with subtle sexiness. She clapped her hands in front of her, her forearms putting a little bit of pressure on her substantial breasts. She leaned forward a little, and batted her eyelashes at the man. "B-but, you shoved me! I twisted my ankle you brat." "Don't be silly. I merely stumbled and was reaching out to a strong man to hold me. You were the obvious choice," cooed Juliana as she siddled up to the man and let her breasts rub against his arm. "I'm just so klutzy. So how about you let me buy you a drink as an apology, and we let bygones be bygones?" "Hmm." The man wrapped his arm around her waist. He pivoted, bent her over his hip, wrapped his arm around her lower back, and began spanking her exposed brown globes. "No." Juliana squealed and kicked. [["\"Man, and I totally thought that was going to work.\""|ep1d2_stay_silent_1]] [["\"Ouch.\""|ep1d2_stay_silent_1]] [[Shake your head.|ep1d2_stay_silent_1]]"What kind of neanderthal do you take me for?" asked the man as the sharp crack of hard hand to bare flesh echoed across the beach. $name cast a bemused look around. A few people were watching, but most had apparently rubber-necked enough for one day. "A uh-oww-hot one?" asked Juliana. "Flattery will get you nowhere." The man picked up the pace, making Juliana kick even more frantically. "So I noticed," wailed Juliana. "Now did you, or did you not push me?" asked the man as his flat hand struck the swell of Juliana's bobbing bottom. "I pushed you, I pushed you," said Juliana. "Good." The man released Juliana, who shot up and clutched her bottom, dancing rubbing and hissing. He grabbed her by the ear. "Now come along. We've only just gotten started." [["\"Wow, this is much more fun to watch than it is to live.\""|ep1d2_carrie_switched]] [["\"Well, that's ominous.\""|ep1d2_carrie_switched]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_carrie_switched]]There was a squealing crunch, like metal getting twisted into a pretzel. "Start the party bitches! Buzzsaw has arrived!" $name and Juliana shared a horrified look. Juliana grabbed $name's shoulder and dragged $herm behind a large dune at the edge of the copse. The two crawled up the top, and peered over the edge. At least a dozen Whistlers swarmed over the beach, rooting through purses, punching men who were a bit too macho for their own good, and making scary faces at terrified children. Buzzsaw strode down the center of the beach, her mohawk glittering like rainbow-colored steel in the mid afternoon sun. Gone were the jeans and jacket. Instead, she wore a pair of jean shorts, and a tank top. Underneath the tank top was a mesh shirt liberally sprinkled with holes. For whatever weird ass reason, she was also wearing a pair of ragged rainbow socks. A spiked collar adorned her neck, and a matching spiked glove on one hand. On the other she wore a mesh glove. Both wrists sported spiked wristlets. "Is that a supervillain outfit?" whispered Juliana. "Mary Mother of God, it's horrifying. It looks like she detonated a Hot Topic, and threw on whatever scraps were so hideous not even flame could eradicate them." [["\"Maybe, but I'll bet that glove hurts.\""|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_1]] [["\"I mean, an invulnerable costume is a good thing for a supervillain to have.\""|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_1]]Buzzsaw stopped by the small concessions stand, and leaned against the window. "Yo, I want some ice cream. Mint chocolate chip. Make it snappy!" Buzzsaw waited a second, before leaning her head in the window. "The hell is my-oh, I see what you're doing. Naughty naughty!" Buzzsaw grabbed the lip of the window, and with a heave and a grunt, ripped the wall clean off the building. She hurled smashed wood into the lake. "Timber!" She strode into the concession stand. "Stop calling the cops and make me my fucking ice cream!" The crack of hand striking bare flesh and yelps of pain echoed from the restaurant. "Now I see why they make you wear those trashy thongs!" roared Buzzsaw. "Makes it damn easy to get your lazy ass moving!" "Trashy?" mouthed Juliana, her eyes narrowing. Buzzsaw stepped back out through the hole, happily licking away at a rapidly melting cone of mint chocolate chip ice cream. "Hmm. Love mint chocolate chip. Bad for my cholesterol, but fuck my doctor. A life without ice cream just ain't worth living, am I right?" Her minions cheered. [["\"She's not wrong.\""|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_2]] [["\"She goes to the doctor?\""|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_2]]Buzzsaw looked about the beach. Women cowered together, and clutched each other. Men cowered together, while trying to look like they weren't clutching each other. Couples held each other. Parents wrapped themselves protectively around stone silent children. "I SAID AM I RIGHT?" "Yeah..." came a few disorganized voices. "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" roared Buzzsaw. "DON'T MAKE ME KICK YOUR TEETH IN!" "YEAH!" cried the terrified crowd. "That's better." Buzzsaw strolled leisurely amongst the beach goers, studying each face in turn. "It looks like she's looking for someone," said Juliana in a low voice. [["\"You don't suppose she knows who we are do you?\""|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_3]] [["\"Shit, what if she found us?\""|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_3]] [["\"Us?\""|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_3]]Juliana shrugged. "Unlikely. It was dark, and I don't remember any cameras going off, do you?" Buzzsaw stopped in front of Alexandra, Vanessa, and Keiko. Keiko cowered behind Vanessa, while Alexandra and Vanessa clutched each other. Buzzsaw shoved the rest of her ice cream cone into her mouth, and grabbed Alexandra's chin. She turned Alexandra's head first one way, then the other. She grimaced, and shoved her hand into one of her pockets. "Fucking tiny pockets..." Buzzsaw pulled out a crumpled photo, and held it up to Alexandra. "What d'ya think? She the one?" "Looks like it boss," said one of the Whistlers, peering over Buzzsaw's shoulder. "My thoughts exactly." Buzzsaw grinned, though it looked more like a snarl. "You're coming with me legs." Alexandra bolted. Buzzsaw chuckled and clapped her hands together. "Ooh, I love it when they run." [["\"Poor Alex, today is not her day.\""|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_4]] [["\"Shit. Isn't Alex filthy rich?\""|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_4]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_4]]Buzzsaw glanced at Vanessa. Her grin broadened. She grabbed Vanessa by the throat and lifted her into the air. "You look pretty pissed. You gonna do something about it?" Vanessa clutched at her throat. $name's vision turned scarlet. Juliana grabbed $name's shoulder. "Not now, not in broad daylight." "But-" "There will be pictures of you splashed all over the internet if you go down there, scarlet shield blazing. She will track us down, and the only way to stop her will be to kill her. You really want to do that? Could you do that? Besides..." Juliana turned her attention back to the scene. "She's not gonna kill Vanessa. She's just scaring her." [["\"I can't--\""|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_5]] [["\"How do you--\""|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_5]] [[Scowl.|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_5]]"Haw! I knew it. Impotent rage. My ex-boyfriend was the same way." Buzzsaw tossed Vanessa into the sand. "Boys. Utterly useless, am I right?" She turned and looked at the crowd. "I SAID AM I RIGHT?" "Yeah!" chorused the crowd. "Only the girls, ya dipshits. Jesus Christ, I'm going off insulting your gender and you're all like 'Yeah! Fuck us! We're turds!' Give me a break." "Umm, boss, she's getting away." The Whistler pointed towards Alexandra, who was now two-thirds of the way towards the copse, not too far from $name and Juliana. The two sucked in a breath. "Huh. Girl can move pretty good." Buzzsaw leapt into the air. [["\"Girls got hops.\""|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_6]] [["\"Shit.\""|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_6]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_alexandra_kidnapped_6]]A wave of gasps washed through the onlookers as Buzzsaw arced towards the fleeing figure. The villain landed in front of Alexandra and spun to face her. "Boo." Alexandra yelped and skidded to a stop, landing hard on $her bruised ass. Buzzsaw guffawed. She grabbed Alexandra and flung her over her shoulder. She landed two heavy blows to Alexandra's ass, making the girl howl. "For trying to run away." Buzzsaw put her fingers to lips and let out a single, piercing whistle. "Time to go folks!" Alexandra looked at $name and Juliana, $her face pale, and $her tear-filled eyes wide as saucers. She reached out to the two, but Buzzsaw leapt again, and the two rocketed away. The Whistlers left, as raucous and destructive as when they came. "Well, that was a thing," said Juliana. She grabbed $name's hand and pulled $herm to $her feet. "You have to go after her." [["\"Damn straight. But I can't exactly do that in a swimsuit.\""|ep1d2_agree_help_alexandra]] [["\"Are you kidding? Let the police handle it!\""|ep1d2_refuse_help_alexandra]]"Relax. I've gotcha covered," said Juliana with a dangerous smile. They spent about two hours waiting for the police to arrive and giving eyewitness reports. While waiting, Juliana called home and got their parents on the phone. Juliana explained to them what happened, and assured them that they were all right. They tried to insist on driving up to see the two, but Juliana somehow managed to talk them down. Once they got home, Juliana ducked into her room with a murmured "Back in a few" while Vanessa and Keiko fled into their respective rooms. $name <<sore 'eased' 'dropped'>> onto the couch and switched on the news. After a spate of annoying commercials (including no fewer than three advertising Twinkle Teeth toothpaste), the news returned to a young blonde news reporter interviewing the Generica police chief. A photo of Alexandra was displayed in the upper-right corner of the screen, next to a snarling mugshot of Buzzsaw.

Sir, the Whistlers have always been small time thugs. Any insight into why they have resorted to kidnapping the daughter of wealthy entrepreneur Phillipa Silver?" "This is very unusual, indeed," said the hard-looking middle-aged man. "They mostly deal in BMB's. I've never heard of them resorting to kidnapping, nor engaging in any sort of other violence, save some gang-on-gang turf wars." "BMBs?" The chief scowled. "Black Market Bananas. The greatest threat facing our youth today. After the first bite, you start hallucinating that you're actually eating an apple. Have you ever seen someone try to eat a banana like it's an apple? Horrifying. If that wasn't bad enough, at some random point within 16 hours of finishing, the imbiber will spontaneously fall asleep for exactly 8 hours, 4 minutes, 2 seconds and 1 millisecond." [["\"Nothing like papa's drugs.\""|ep1d2_agree_help_alexandra_2]] [["\"Curse the crazy scientist who crossbred bananas and Nyquil. Curse him I say!\""|ep1d2_agree_help_alexandra_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_agree_help_alexandra_2]]"I, err, see. Could the Whistler's new boldness be tied to the apparently superhuman powers allegedly possessed by their leader, Tiffany Williams?" The chief's scowl deepened. "Miss Wilkins, you should know better than to spread panicked rumors." "But sir, we have video footage of her turning the cast iron gate blocking the beach entrance into a basketball." On cue, the screen flashed to grainy surveillance footage of Buzzsaw tearing the gate off its hinges with her bare hands and crumbling it up into a giant ball. She flung it backwards into the parking lot. The scene flashed back to the serious (and rather panicked looking) visage of the reporter and police chief. Chief Napier's face was completely, utterly, expressionless. "Ooh, dad's pissed," said a quiet voice behind $name. $name craned $her neck back to see Natalie standing above $herm, a book in one hand, and a can of orange soda in the other. [["\"Your dad's the police chief?\""|ep1d2_agree_help_alexandra_3]] [["\"Wait a minute, so we have *both* the daughter of the richest person in the city, *and* the police chief in our suite?\""|ep1d2_agree_help_alexandra_3]] [["\"Oh yeah?\""|ep1d2_agree_help_alexandra_3]]Natalie nodded, but she didn't seem to be paying attention. She was focused on the tv. "Any speculations-" said the reporter. "No." "Any thoughts on how-" "I've got a job to do, miss. Excuse me." The chief walked away. Danielle turned back to the camera. "And there you have it, people of Generica. Is there a superhero somewhere who can stand against this new, multi-colored menace?" "$name, come here," said Juliana from the other side of her bedroom door. $name switched the television off and slipped into Juliana's room. "Alright." Juliana held up the outfit. "Check it out. Woke up early yesterday after only like two hours of sleep. I was bored, so I thought it'd be cool to cobble together a costume from old Halloween costumes and a few things I borrowed from your room. Go on and try it out." $name slipped into the costume, and looked at $herself in the mirror. What does $she see? [[A fairly conservative costume that looks almost practical.|ep1d2_conservative_outfit]] [[A very sexy, stripperiffic outfit of the kind only a pervert like Juliana could have conceived.|ep1d2_sexy_outfit]]<<set $conservativeOutfit to true>> <<if $gender == "female" or $femaleoutfits.contains($pants) or $femaleoutfits.contains($shirt)>> <<include ep1d2_conservative_female>> <<else>> <<include ep1d2_conservative_male>> <</if>>The spandex-based material went on surprisingly easy, and $she couldn't deny a surge of confidence as $she looked in the mirror. The suit came in two pieces: a short-sleeve spandex shirt and matching shorts. The shirt came down to the tops of <<names>> hips, and fit snug enough it shouldn't ride up. $name's arms were covered by long purple gloves all the way up to mid bicep, and similarly long purple boots with grippy flat bottoms came up to mid thigh. In the center of $her chest was a finely embroidered purple crescent moon surrounded by black. A red half-mask, which had to be pulled up and over her head, was attached to the top of her costume. It covered everything from the nose up, like Batman's mask only nowhere near as badass. A purple sash with an 18-inch-long trail was tied around her waist where a belt might be but slung a bit lower. <<set $shirt to 'scarletsuit'>> <<set $pants to 'scarletsuit'>> <<set $sexyOutfit to false>> <<include ep1d2_scarlet_moon>>The spandex-based material went on surprisingly easy, and $she felt powerful when $she looked in the mirror. A crimson short-sleeved shirt and matching shorts covered everything between mid thighs and shoulders, and accentuated $her musculature. The outfit had purple pin-striping, beginning at the shoulders and going down both the arms and sides down to the knees. In the center of $name's chest was a finely embroidered purple crescent moon surrounded by a black circle. $Her arms were covered by long black gloves that came halfway to his elbows. Short purple boots with grippy flat bottoms came up to mid calf. A red half-mask was attached to the back of the costume, and fit over $her head. It covered everything from the nose up, like Batman's except nowhere near as badass. <<set $shirt to "scarletsuit">> <<set $pants to "scarletsuit">> <<set $underwear to "none">> <<include ep1d2_scarlet_moon>><<set $sexyOutfit to true>> <<if $femaleoutfits.contains($pants) or $femaleoutfits.contains($shirt) or $femaleoutfits.contains($underwear)>> <<include ep1d2_sexy_female>> <<else>> <<include ep1d2_sexy_male>> <</if>>The spandex went on surprisingly easily, perhaps because there was so little of it. The suit consisted of a low-cut crimson crop top that showed off the tops of $her breasts, and a red thong that did a distressingly good job of exposing her <<fat>> <<sore 'red cheeks' ' cheeks'>>. A finely embroidered purple crescent moon outlined in black nestled between $her <<bodytype 'round' 'pillowy' 'voluminous'>> boobs. The crop top was connected to the thong in the front via four strips of spandex, two on either side of $her belly. Nothing connected the two pieces in the back, leaving her back completely bare, save where the croptop covered $her shoulder blades. A red half-mask was attached to the tank top, which had to be pulled up and over her head, Batman <<hair 'style,' 'style, with a hole in the back for $her hair' 'style, with a hole in the back for $her hair'>>. A pair of long purple high-heeled thigh-high boots finished the ensemble. <<include ep1d2_scarlet_moon>> <<set $shirt to "scarlet crop top">> <<set $pants to "scarlet thong">> <<set $underwear to "none">>$name now understood why Juliana was able to finish her work so quickly: there wasn't really anything *to* the costume. It was nothing more than a speedo thong, a cap, and a pair of boots. The spandex-based material went on easy, and $she felt rather embarrassed as $she looked in the mirror: the thong showed off every inch of $her cheeks. A narrow purple "belt" wrapped around the thong, and short purple ankle-high boots with grippy, flat bottoms adorned $her feet. A red half-mask fit over $name's head. It covered everything from the nose up, like Batman's except nowhere near as badass. <<set $shirt to "none">> <<set $pants to "scarlet thong">> <<set $underwear to "none">> <<include ep1d2_scarlet_moon>>"Behold, Scarlet Moon," exclaimed Juliana throwing her arms out to encompass $name. $name admired $her <<height 'short' '' ' long'>> legs and <<fat>> bottom.

"Let's talk a little before you rush to save the day." "Hey!" "Stop fussing. It was hardly a smack." Juliana wheeled her chair to her computer. "I've got a few ideas on where Buzzsaw might be hiding." "Decrepit warehouse at the docks?" Juliana laughed. "Don't be silly. I'll bet they're in an abandoned office building in a nondescript office park." $name's stomach sank. "Oh." Juliana grinned and rubbed her hands together maniacally. "Yes. It was there that you had your first fateful confrontation with Buzzsaw, and it is there that you shall have your final. Confrontation with Buzzsaw I mean." [["\"Thanks for the clarification.\""|ep1d2_scarlet_moon_2]] [["\"Filling me with confidence here.\""|ep1d2_scarlet_moon_2]] [[Narrow one eye.|ep1d2_scarlet_moon_2]]"Sorry." Juliana picked up a bluetooth headset and an old flip phone. "Here. My bluetooth headset, and dad's old flip phone he gave me as a backup. I'll see if I can google-up some maps of the office park." "Where am I supposed to put this?" asked $name, looking down at the outfit. "You didn't give me any pouches." Juliana's face screwed up in disgust. "Of course not. This isn't the 1990's. I'm sure you'll find someplace. Oh, and you might want to take a bag with a change of clothes in it, just in case you don't have enough scarlet mojo to get back home." [["\"There's a pleasant thought.\""|ep1d2_explore_business_park]] [["\"That won't be a problem.\""|ep1d2_explore_business_park]] [[Leave.|ep1d2_explore_business_park]]Juliana swept her arm out to take in the ruined beach. "You really think the police can handle her?" <<if $ep1d1defeatedByBuzzsaw>> <<include ep1d2_refuse_help_alexandra_lost>> <<else>> <<include ep1d2_refuse_help_alexandra_won>> <</if>>"I can't handle her either! She kicked my ass last night," said $name, taking a step back. "It's thanks to you I didn't get anything worse than a spanking." "But it was close. And you'd just laid out like half a dozen of her thugs," said Juliana. "If we can get you to her without losing any of your scarlet mojo, you should have no problem taking her down." [["\"I-look, this is stupid! I'm a random college kid, not some badass superhero!\""|ep1d2_refuse_help_alexandra_lost_1]] [["\"Juliana, I'm just some dumb kid with powers.\""|ep1d2_refuse_help_alexandra_lost_1]] [["\"But I don't know how to fight.\""|ep1d2_refuse_help_alexandra_lost_1]]Juliana grasped $name's arms and looked $herm in the eye. "I know, but someone's got to do something, don't you think? You won't be going alone, either. I'm going to support you. From my room. With intel. Because I'm not the punchy kind of superhero." "And you think I am?" "You know anyone else with forcefield powers?" "Oh, I don't know, there may be some government weapon that can-" "Did you see Alexandra's face?" asked Juliana quietly. [["\"Gah! I swear if you asked me to go to hell and punch Satan in the mouth, I'd probably do it. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's what you're asking.\""|ep1d2_refuse_help_alexandra_won_1]] [["\"Rggh. Fine. But just this once.\""|ep1d2_refuse_help_alexandra_won_1]] [["\"Yeah. Yeah, I saw it. Guess I don't really have a choice, do I?\""|ep1d2_refuse_help_alexandra_won_1]]"No, I guess not," said $name reluctantly. "But what makes you think I can?" "Come on. You beat her once. You can do it again," said Juliana. $name scowled at her. "That was as much luck as anything else." "Did you see the way she looked at us?" asked Juliana quietly. [["\"Gah! I swear if you asked me to go to hell and punch Satan in the mouth, I'd probably do it. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's what you're asking.\""|ep1d2_refuse_help_alexandra_won_1]] [["\"Rggh. Fine.

"Can't exactly fight in my swimsuit though." <<include ep1d2_agree_help_alexandra>>Not too much later, Scarlet Moon landed on a large building opposite the entrance to the business park, not too far from the damaged street light they'd crashed into a few nights earlier. $She stumbled forward a few steps, and barely kept from faceplanting. [["\"Did you see that? I just like, swung and ran across buildings the whole way here! I got here faster than a car. And did you see how I landed on that truck, and rode it halfway here? Totally awesome!\""|ep1d2_explore_business_park_1]] [["\"Better than the bus, that's for damn sure.\""|ep1d2_explore_business_park_1]] [["\"Well, that was exhilerating.\""|ep1d2_explore_business_park_1]]"I'm sure it was. Are you at the park?" "Yup." Scarlet Moon sat down, using a bit of forcefield to protect $her <<sexycostume 'naked' 'spandex-clad'>> cheeks from the hot concrete. "Kinda tired, though." "Well, try not to go too crazy. Still gotta find and take down Buzzsaw. What's it looking like?" Scarlet Moon's eyes swept across the mostly empty street. A single cop car sat on the road a little ways away. One of the police officers, a woman, leaned against the outside of the car watching the park. Scarlet Moon couldn't see her partner. Presumably they were inside the vehicle. She couldn't see anyone in the park either. "Really? No cops? No swat teams, or negotiations?" "Nope. Well, there's a single cop car, but they don't seem to be doing anything." "Huh. Maybe Buzzsaw isn't there after all." [["\"I'm telling you, decrepit warehouse on the docks.\""|ep1d2_explore_business_park_2]] [["\"I mean, it would be pretty dumb to go someplace the cops definitely know about after publicly kidnapping someone.\""|ep1d2_explore_business_park_2]] [["\"There's a shocker.\""|ep1d2_explore_business_park_2]]Scarlet Moon paced about the roof, $her eyes roving over the buildings. "Not exactly--" "Hang on. I just spied someone in one of the office buildings. Probably keeping an eye on the cops. Maybe they'll know something." Scarlet Moon hunkered down behind the lip of the roof before the figure saw $herm. "OK, what's the best way to get over there?" asked Juliana. "Maybe a propelled jump?" "What." "Yup. Jump, and fire a brief burst of energy into the ground. Oughta to give you quite the boost." "But I can only fire bursts out of my eyes," said Scarlet Moon. "You want me to jump backwards?" "Naw. I'll bet it has nothing to do with your eyes, and everything to do with gathering and firing some of your forcefield as raw...whatever it is your forcefield is made out of. Firing from your eyes is convenient because it means aiming is as simple as looking someone in the eye." [["\"But then don't I risk hurting someone?\""|ep1d2_explore_business_park_3]] [["\"Sounds kinda wasteful.\""|ep1d2_explore_business_park_3]]Scarlet Moon spied a copse of trees a few blocks down. Looked like they started in an abandoned lot and grew up right against one of the office buildings. "Naw, not if the burst is brief and weak. We're not talking powerful enough to put Buzzsaw through a wall, just powerful enough to give your jump a bit of a boost. Come on, what do you say? I'll bet it'll be awesome!" [[Jump.|ep1d2_jump]] [[Sneak.|ep1d2_sneak]]Scarlet Moon pooled $her crimson mojo around $her feet. $She began to run. <<set $ep1jump to true>> [["\"Geronimo!\""|ep1d2_jump_1]] [["\"Oh God, oh God, oh God.\""|ep1d2_jump_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_jump_1]]Scarlet Moon leapt off the edge of the roof. $She unleashed a brief burst of energy into the roof behind $herm, and rocketed in an arc through the air. $She heard a faint cry, and looked down to see the cop pointing at $herm. There was a faint whine, and a particle beam erupted from the building, missing $her shoulder by inches. Scarlet Moon twisted in midair, barely dodging another beam. The wall consumed $her field of vision. Scarlet Moon curled into a ball and wrapped $herself in a scarlet cocoon. $She smashed into and through the brick wall, a jolt of pain flashing through $her entire body. $She smashed through two dry walls, and a window. $She slammed into the tile floor. $She rolled and skidded through a desk, a door, and another wall. Finally, Scarlet Moon came to a stop. $She pushed $herself to $her feet, shaking $her head and groaning. "Scarlet Moon!" cried Juliana, her shrill voice piercing Scarlet Moon's ear like a needle. "Are you ok? Talk to me!" [["\"Careful. I've only got the two ears.\""|ep1d2_jump_2]] [["\"Did you see that? That was awesome! That was beyond awesome! That was what awesome used to mean before it got watered down by overuse!\""|ep1d2_jump_2]] [["\"I'm fine, I'm fine.\""|ep1d2_jump_2]]Juliana sighed. "Scared the crap-" A particle beam slammed into the wall next to Scarlet Moon's head. "Can't talk now," said Scarlet Moon, ducking behind a desk. "Got a hostile." "Not surprising," said Juliana. "You'll have every Whistler in the compound piling on your butt any minute now." "Take a breath." Scarlet Moon peeked $her head above the desk just in time to see the woman duck behind a door. "I got things under control." "Smashing through a building is not 'under control,'" said Juliana. "It's--" Scarlet Mono fired. The beam blew the door off its hinges and sent the Whistler sprawling. Scarlet Moon leapt forward and grabbed the Whistler before she could recover. $She snatched up the particle stunner, and chucked it out a window. The Whistler mewled and kicked at Scarlet Moon, but even when she connected, Scarlet Moon didn't feel a thing. Scarlet Moon tossed the Whistler over $her shoulder, and ran back the way $she came. [["\"I think it's time you and I have a little heart to heart.\""|ep1d2_jump_3]] [["\"I've got some questions. You've got answers.\""|ep1d2_jump_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_jump_3]]"Let go of me," said the Whistler, pounding her fists on Scarlet Moon's back. Scarlet Moon lashed the woman to $her back with some Scarlet Cords, and leapt back into the air with the Whistler screaming and wailing in $her ear. As soon as Scarlet Moon was out of sight of the park and cops, $she swung around and came into the copse of trees that grew against the south side of the park. [["\"Please stop the screaming. It hurts.\""|ep1d2_interrogate]] [["\"Ok, little lady, time to start singing like a popstar.\""|ep1d2_interrogate]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_interrogate]]Scarlet Moon glanced over the edge of the building. "Think I'll find a safer route." "Oh, you're no fun," said Juliana, a pout in her voice. "Easy for you to say." Scarlet Moon slipped down the building's fire escape, and circled around to the south side. Sure enough, an overgrown copse of trees grew right up against the building at the edge of the office park. "You didn't have a problem jumping between buildings a minute ago." "Well, yeah, but a minute ago I didn't have to worry about someone trying to shoot me." "Bah. You'd have been fine." Scarlet Moon slipped into the undergrowth. $She kept $her forcefield at a low burn, just enough to protect $herself from the hordes of very scratchy thorns, brambles, and twigs, but not enough to be visible from the park. Proved to be quite a good bit of practice in control. Eventually, hot, sweaty, and feeling icky, Scarlet Moon reached the building. $She ripped open a door (shattering a lock in the process), and slipped inside. "You know, this would have been so much faster if you'd jumped," muttered Juliana. "We could be halfway to saving Alexandra by now." [["\"Life is full of trade offs.\""|ep1d2_sneak_1]] [["\"And yet nobody knows I'm here.\""|ep1d2_sneak_1]] [[Shrug.|ep1d2_sneak_1]]Scarlet Moon slipped through the empty building, and eased out onto the parking lot. "Where is everyone?" "Most of them are probably wherever they took Alexandra," said Juliana. "Yeah, but shouldn't there be patrols, or sentries or something, in case the police decide to raid the place?" "The police have probably already come and gone. And I'll bet dollars to donuts they didn't find anyone. Whoever was here probably went into hiding." Scarlet Moon found $herself at the base of the building closest to the cops, where $she had spied somebody watching out the window. $She eased $herself in, and slipped up the stairs. A few times $she had to stop and hide as Whistlers wandered by. Primary topic of conversation seemed to be their recent adventure to the beach, and fantasies about all the riches and sexy bitches they'd get now that their boss had super powers. $She slipped into a room, and found $herself face to face with a single Whistler turning from the window. [["\"Someone order a large pizza?\""|ep1d2_sneak_2]] [["\"Surrender now, or suffer the consequences.\""|ep1d2_sneak_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_sneak_2]]The woman's eyes widened. A particle stunner appeared in her hand, and it fired at Scarlet Moon at point blank range. The beam slammed into Scarlet Moon's chest. Scarlet Moon dove behind a desk as another whizzed past $her shoulder. "Kinda getting shot at," said Scarlet Moon as particle beams smashed into and around the desk. "I can't move without getting hit!" "So just take a few-" "Every hit I take hurts like a bitch, and probably weakens me. I can't-" "Well just give me a second-" "I don't have a second!" "If you would just stop-" The Whistler dove around the desk. Scarlet Moon wrapped a scarlet cord around the Whistler, and yanked her into $her arms. $She batted the Whistler's gun away, bound the Whistler's hands and ankles, and gagged her with a few more cords. "You ok? I don't hear any more shooting." [["\"Yeah, I got her. Turns out my ropes are good for more than swinging.\""|ep1d2_sneak_3]] [["\"Yes, justice has triumphed!\""|ep1d2_sneak_3]] [["\"I'm fine, and I have someone to interrogate.\""|ep1d2_sneak_3]]"Great job! Now get out of there and find someplace private where you can question her," said Juliana. "One step ahead of you." Scarlet Moon tossed the woman over $her shoulder, and slipped out of the building. $She returned to the copse of trees, and dispersed the cords binding $her captive. [["\"Come along squirmy one, the Sensational Scarlet Moon's got some questions.\""|ep1d2_interrogate]] [["\"Prepare yourself, for an Interrogation of Justice!\""|ep1d2_interrogate]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_interrogate]]Scarlet Moon dumped the Whistler on the ground, and put $her hands on $her hips. "So." "That's the best you can come up with?" said Juliana. The Whistler slid backwards, her wide eyes never leaving Scarlet Moon. She had shoulder-length brown hair with red highlights, and big brown eyes. She was a little bit tanned and had a fit, tight build. She was of average height and build: not super curvy, but not a coat rack either. She wore a black sleeveless cut-off shirt that exposed her flat midriff, and had a logo of a motorcycle brand. Her hips were clad in a pair of high-waisted daisy dukes that showed off a hint of lower cheek. [["\"I just want to talk.\""|ep1d2_interrogate_1]] [["\"Yes, tremble in fear before the Shining Light of Justice!\""|ep1d2_interrogate_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_interrogate_1]]The woman jumped to her feet. Scarlet Moon shoved her back onto her rump. She rolled onto her hands and knees and crawled away. Scarlet Moon grabbed the woman's ankle, and lifted her upside down into the air. The woman squealed, and watched Scarlet Moon with wide eyes. "You're Glo$girl!" [["\"Scarlet Moon, actually.

"Alexandra isn't that bad." <<include ep1d2_interrogate_2>>"What do you want?" asked the Whistler. "Why are you just staring at me? Say something you fucking cocksucker!" Scarlet Moon glared at her. "Let me guess. You want to know where Buzzsaw is." The Whistler squirmed, swinging like a pendulum. "Well, I ain't telling you shit." Scarlet Moon glared at her. <<include ep1d2_interrogate_2>>The woman closed her mouth. [["\"Oh come on. Don't be like that. I just want to save the day and put you and your boss in jail.

[["\"You know what you need? A sound spanking.\""|ep1d2_whistler_spanking]] [[Get serious.|ep1d2_whistler_serious]]Scarlet Moon dropped the Whistler back into the underbrush. "You really think that'll work?" asked Juliana. "Sure-" The Whistler swept Scarlet Moon's legs out from under $herm, knocking the <<female 'heroine' 'hero'>> facefirst into a rather thorny bush. She scrambled to her feet, and bolted into the trees. Scarlet Moon pushed $herself to $her feet. [["\"Clearly I'm being too nice.\""|ep1d2_whistler_spanking_1]] [["\"Ooh, she's gonna pay for that.\""|ep1d2_whistler_spanking_1]] [[Sigh.|ep1d2_whistler_spanking_1]]$She gathered power into $her feet, and took off after the Whistler. The Whistler glanced back over her shoulder, and yelped. She skidded to a halt, grabbed a nearby branch, and whipped around, swinging it at Scarlet Moon's head. Scarlet Moon ducked the swing. $She grabbed the branch and yanked it out of the Whistler's hand. $She grabbed the Whistler's arm, sat down on a conveniently placed tree stump, and turned the Whistler over $her knee. "No. Let go of me," cried the Whistler, kicking and squirming. "Tell me where Buzzsaw is." Scarlet Moon landed a stinging swat to the woman's exposed right sitspot. "Go fuck a monkey." The Whistler kicked and bucked against Scarlet Moon's thighs. [["\"Now that's just rude.\""|ep1d2_whistler_spanking_2]] [["\"I've got a better idea.\""|ep1d2_whistler_spanking_2]] [[Shake your head.|ep1d2_whistler_spanking_2]]$She grabbed the woman's daisy dukes and tore them in half, revealing a very lacy pair of navy blue panties that exposed more of her bum than they covered. "Hey," said the Whistler. "Those were some of my favorite shorts." "Girl you're about to have a whole lot more to worry about than your shorts." Scarlet Moon smacked the exposed swell of the Whistler's right cheek with bum-bouncing force. The Whistler squealed, and kicked her legs. Scarlet Moon traced the brand new scarlet handprint on the woman's right cheek. [["\"You know, there's a certain, elegant beauty to a bottom with a single crimson hand print. Tell me where Buzzsaw is, before I ruin it.\""|ep1d2_whistler_spanking_3]] [["\"Shall I mark you more?\""|ep1d2_whistler_spanking_3]] [["\"Where's Buzzsaw?\""|ep1d2_whistler_spanking_3]]The Whistler said nothing. Scarlet Moon landed a matching smack to the girl's left cheek, making her grunt and squirm, the exposed firm flesh rippling delightfully. [["\"I'm going to count to three. You'll want to tell me where Buzzsaw is before I get there.\""|ep1d2_whistler_spanking_4]] [["\"You have three chances before I get serious.\""|ep1d2_whistler_spanking_4]] [["\"You have three strikes. Then you're out.\""|ep1d2_whistler_spanking_4]]"One." Scarlet Moon landed a stinging slap to the woman's right sitspot, and another to her left. The Whistler said nothing. "Two." Scarlet Moon pulled the woman's thin panties up into her crack until every inch of her firm bum cheeks were exposed. The Whistler said nothing. "Three." Scarlet Moon leaned forward and unleashed a torrent of hard and fast spanks. $Her hand whipped through the air, the flat of $her palm and the tips of $her fingers biting into the woman's vulnerable bum. The crisp crack of bare hand to bare bottom echoed throughout the copse of trees, soon intermingled with cries of pain. The Whistler bucked, and kicked and flailed. Her hips swayed back and forth as her bottom bounced and bobbed beneath the agonizing assault. For ten minutes, Scarlet Moon thrashed the villain's bottom, barely slowing down as the seconds ticked by. [["\"Ooh, look at those cheeks dance!\""|ep1d2_whistler_spanking_5]] [["\"Tell me where Buzzsaw is!\""|ep1d2_whistler_spanking_5]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_whistler_spanking_5]]The Whistler squirmed and yipped, but said nothing. Her legs kicked, and her fists clenched, but still she said nothing. Finally, Scarlet Moon had to stop. $She alternated between rubbing $her stinging palm, massaging $her aching elbow, and massaging $her aching shoulder. "Jeez. What's it take to make you talk?" Juliana sighed. "It's just a spanking. Not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things.

"We don't have-" Scarlet Moon bent the Whistler over the stump $she'd just vacated, and lined the switch up against the woman's red cheeks. The woman whimpered a little, and squeezed her eyes shut. "But we don't need her to squeal-" Scarlet Moon whipped $her arm back, and snapped the switch across the center of the woman's bare cheeks. The woman drummed her toes against the leaf-carpeted ground and howled. She tried to straighten, but Scarlet Moon easily held her down. Scarlet Moon swished the switch another dozen times, leaving a stack of not-quite-parallel stripes.

Scarlet Moon swished the switch three more times, making the girl bottom bobbing up and down as she toes. $She landed a vicious stroke to the crease where bottom met thigh, making the Whistler howl. And breaking the switch. [[Pout. "You broke my switch! Guess I need to get another one."|ep1d2_whistler_switching_2]] [["\"Hmm. One down.

Scarlet Moon took a few steps back, away from the Whistler and her ears. "But--" "She's a hardened thug! There's no way you'll be able to beat it out of her, not unless you want to start actually *beating* her," said Juliana. "Is she scared of you? Maybe we can scare her." Scarlet Moon eyed the Whistler, who lay curled up on the forest floor, gingerly clutching her welted ass, and watching Scarlet Moon with wide, tear-filled eyes.

"I'm sick of this shit. Where the fuck is Buzzsaw?" The Whistler clutched at Scarlet Moon's hand with one hand, while the other clawed futilely at Scarlet Moon's eyes. Scarlet Moon snarled. $She pivoted, whipped the Whitler around, and slammed her into the ground with enough force to shatter the woman's back, if it werent't for the scarlet cushion $she wove under the woman. Scarlet Moon put $her face within inches of the Whistler's, and $her eyes began to glow with a dark scarlet light. The Whistler tried to claw out Scarlet's eyes, but of course Scarlet Moon's forcefield stopped her. Scarlet Moon spoke in a soft voice. "I don't think you understand what's at stake here. Your lunatic boss has kidnapped an innocent woman. The more of my time you waste, the more danger she's in. That makes me angry. Do you really want to make me angry?" Scarlet Moon's eyes flared. The Whistler said nothing. Scarlet Moon flipped the woman onto her face. $She put a boot on the back of the Whistler's head, and ground the woman's face into the rotted leaves, weeds, and wormy dirt. [["\"I'm getting very. Very. Angry.\""|ep1d2_violence_1]] [["\"I will not ask again. Where is Buzzsaw?\""|ep1d2_violence_1]] [["\"Speak. Now.\""|ep1d2_violence_1]]The woman flailed an arm in clear surrender. Scarlet Moon smirked. $She flipped the woman onto her back, and leaned over her. "So." <<include ep1d2_harbor>>Scarlet Moon threw the Whistler over $her shoulder, and shimmied up the nearest, tallest tree: a broad, towering oak. Near the top, $she laid a faint forcefield across the boughs. $She tossed the woman out into the air, and caught her with a couple of scarlet cords. The Whistler gasped. "No, please don't do this. I'm afraid of heights!" "Tell me where Buzzsaw is," said Scarlet Moon. "I can't!" said the Whistler. "She'll kill me." Scarlet Moon shrugged, and dispersed the cords. The Whistler screamed. She fell about a foot before slamming into the forcefield Scarlet Moon had lain earlier, the field flaring with scarlet light. Scarlet Moon leapt from the tree and landed on the forcefield (a bit closer to the edge than $she'd planned). $She straddled the Whistler, and pointed towards the edges of the forcefield. [["\"You see that edge?\""|ep1d2_drop_1]] [["\"Edge is pretty close.\""|ep1d2_drop_1]] [["\"I'm kinda new at this. Might be a little unstable, especially at the edge.\""|ep1d2_drop_1]]The woman leaned her head back to see the edge of the forcefield creeping ever closer. Scarlet Moon leaned over a bit and made a big show of gauging how far away the ground was. "If the forcefield gives out, I'll be fine. You however, have a very high chance of breaking your back, or skull, or something else important." "You can't do this!" gasped the Whistler, watching Scarlet Moon like a horse watching a pack of wolves. "It's illegal!" Scarlet Moon tapped the side of $her head. [["\"Why do you think I'm wearing a mask?\""|ep1d2_drop_2]] [["\"Good thing you can't see my face, yeah?\""|ep1d2_drop_2]] [["\"So is vigilantism.\""|ep1d2_drop_2]]"OK, ok," said the Whistler, casting a panicked look over her shoulder. "I'll tell you, I'll tell just please don't let me-" Scarlet Moon grabbed the woman around the waist just as the forcefield gave out. $She wrapped a cord around a nearby branch. They lowered to the ground. Scarlet Moon dropped the Whistler into the dirt. "So," said Scarlet Moon, dispersing the scarlet cord, and crossing $her arms over $her chest. "Jeez," muttered Juliana. "Talk about intense." <<include ep1d2_harbor>>Scarlet Moon crossed $her arms over $her chest and leaned against a nearby tree. "You know that Buzzsaw wants me to find her, don't you?" "Bullshit," said the Whistler. "She explicitly told us to keep an eye on any cops that might show up, and not tell anyone." Scarlet Moon smirked. "Then why'd she make such a big scene at the beach? Why even show up at all? Surely a couple of you Whistlers can handle a bunch of half-naked rich people." The Whistler said nothing. Scarlet Moon pushed $herself off the tree, and circled around behind the Whistler. The thug followed $her every motion. [["\"She was hoping if she made a big enough scene, I'd see it.\""|ep1d2_convince_1]] [["\"She set a trap. A trap for me.\""|ep1d2_convince_1]] [["\"She fired off a flare. A challenge.

That nobody, not even the little shit who spanked her like a naughty schoolgirl can stand up to the Buzzsaw?" <<include ep1d2_convince_success>>Scarlet Moon leaned over the Whistler. "I kicked the crap out of Buzzsaw. Absolutely humiliated her in front of her minions. Proved that no matter how strong she is still nothing more than a two-bit thug.

To prove once and for all that not even the little shit who kicked her ass all over the business park can stand up to the Buzzsaw?" <<include ep1d2_convince_success>>Scarlet Moon leaned over the Whistler.

"I couldn't have done better myself." <<include ep1d2_harbor>>"Alright, alright," said the thug. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you. She's in the old Corbeau warehouse out on the east side of the docks." "I knew it," hissed Scarlet Moon, clenching a fist in victory. "It's always a decrepit warehouse at the docks." "Nyuck, nyuck," said Juliana. "Can't be right all the time.

A few building hops later, $she was standing above the cop car. $She wrapped a cord around a nearby flagpole, and shimmied down the wall. "Hey wait, come on," said the thug. The cop below looked up, and her mouth fell open. The driver's side door opened, and a man peeked out. His mouth also fell open. [["\"Special delivery!

You really think I'd put you in an outfit you don't look good in? $Girl, you're sexier than a thong bikini made of leather." "Not even gonna ask." <<include ep1d2_reach_harbor>>Scarlet Moon landed on the roof of a long, squat building at the edge of the harbor. "Where's the warehouse? Any idea?" "Northeast side, right up against the water. Don't dawdle either, looks like word of your little interrogation has reached the ears of just about every cop in the city, and they're all peeling tires towards the warehouse." [["\"Okey dokey.\""|ep1d2_reach_harbor_1]] [["\"Acknowledged.\""|ep1d2_reach_harbor_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_reach_harbor_1]]Scarlet Moon ran to the edge of the roof and leapt onto the next one. $She slid, ran, and leapt $her way through the harbor. $She finally came to a stop on a building a few blocks over from a warehouse plastered with giant-ass letters that read "Corbeau." "Well, least Buzzsaw isn't hard to find." "Yeah. Subtlety--exactly--superpower, is it? Now--" "You there? I can barely hear you." The call ended. Scarlet Moon fished the phone out, and cursed. No signal. $She set it down on the roof, grimacing. $She was on $her own. $She studied the building for another moment, but couldn't see any sign of anyone. If that Whistler was lying to $herm... $She hopped from building to building, staying behind as many buildings, boxes, and cranes as possible. Eventually, $she found $herself hanging onto the edge of the roof. $She peeked through the dusty glass of a nearby window, but couldn't really see anything. $She grabbed the bottom of the window and eased it open a crack. "Okay okay I'm sorry!" cried Alexandra. The distinctive crack of hand to bare bottom echoed through the room. "I won't call you names anymore!" [["\"And Bingo was his name-o.\""|ep1d2_reach_harbor_2]] [["\"*Of course* Alex would treat her kidnapper with disdain.\""|ep1d2_reach_harbor_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep1d2_reach_harbor_2]]"What else, you little bitch?" said Buzzsaw. "I-I won't ask for steak or caviar!" yelped Alexandra . "I-I'll be good! Yeowch! Just stop spanking me! Please! OUCH!" Scarlet Moon swung $herself up onto the roof. $She had no idea how many Whistlers were inside, so $she needed to take them by surprise. $Her eyes caught on a giant stack of iron boxes, with an equally giant crane sitting next to them. Maybe throw one through the door. That'd be an unpleasant surprise for any guards just inside. Could also slip through the window. Be inside and kicking ass before anyone knew. $She heard a faint murmur of voices. $She dropped to $her belly, and crawled to the edge of the roof. $She peered over the edge and spied a pair of figures in ankle-length trenchcoats and fidoras. If $she strained, $she could just make out a few snippets of conversation. "...she thinking?" "...underestimate her. Buzzsaw...stupid." Scarlet Moon grinned. A couple of Whistlers. If $she "borrowed" a coat and hat, $she could talk $her way in. Kind of a weird choice of outfits though. [[Throw an iron box at the door.|ep1d2_strength_break_in]] [[Sneak in through the window.|ep1d2_speed_break_in]] [[Take out the two guards, and bluff your way.|ep1d2_power_break_in]]Scarlet Moon rushed over to the iron boxes. $Her body pulsed with barely contained power.

"Wait a minute. Alex is in there, I might-" The crate tipped a bit too far to the right and the giant iron box landed on Scarlet Moon's foot. While $her shield ensured $she didn't lose a toe, the fact remained that $she had just dropped a giant iron box on $her foot. "Shit fucking bitch!" Scarlet Moon clutched $her foot with one hand. "What the fuck was that?!" roared Buzzsaw from inside the building. "You lot! Go check it out!" About half a dozen Whistlers came charging out of the warehouse. $She'd have to take them down quickly, and hopefully without losing too much of $her scarlet mojo. $She had a terrible suspicion that $she wouldn't be leaving the docks if Buzzsaw beat $herm. "Is that a <<sexycostume 'stripper' ' clown'>>?" said one of the Whistlers. "Who the hell ordered a <<sexycostume 'stripper' ' clown'>>? Buzzsaw's gonna be pissed-" [["\"I'm a superhero here to save Alexandra Silver.\""|ep1d2_strength_break_in_2]] [["\"The name's Scarlet Moon.

He glanced at his buddies and grinned. "Maybe you'd be better off just givin' us all a-" Scarlet Moon's head lurched back, and a crimson beam slammed into the Whistler's chest, flinging him back into the warehouse. "No." The other Whistlers stared at Scarlet Moon for a minute. They charged. Scarlet Moon backpedaled. $She needed some way of taking out more than one of these posers. Something with some reach... Scarlet Moon wove $her shield into a long staff. [["\"That's...that's a lot of bad guys.\""|ep1d2_break_in_battle]]Three of the whistlers charged. The fourth hung back, firing particle beams at Scarlet Moon. Scarlet Moon's shield flared every time a beam struck it, and Scarlet Moon could feel fatigue beginning to set in with each shot. $She took him out with a scarlet beam to the chest.

Rather than gracefully smashing the villain into the ground, jumping off of them, and landing in a heroic pose, Scarlet Moon rolled across the pavement in a heap with the villain. $She shook $her head, and pushed $herself onto $her hands and knees. "Freeze!" Scarlet Moon found $herself staring down a particle gun. $She punched the gun to the right. The gun discharged, and a particle bolt slammed into the Whistler beneath Scarlet Moon. "Oh, shit-" said the Whistler with the gun just as Scarlet Moon punched them in the stomach. A rush of air burst from the Whistler's lips, and their fedora fell off to reveal bright red chinlength hair, and a cute, freckled, feminine face. Her green eyes were big and round as she hunched, and fell to her knees. [["\"Told me to freeze.

Scarlet Moon ground $her teeth together. $She grabbed the Whistler by the scruff of the neck and lifted $herm into the air. The Whistler's fedora fell off, revealing a cascade of meticulously maintained, shimmering shoulder-length brown hair. Her big brown eyes fixated on Scarlet Moon, and her ruby red lips formed an "o."

"Spitting out your gag and calling me a <<sexycostume 'stripper' ' clown'>> is very naughty." The woman struggled futilely against her bonds. "Before you and I talk, I need to make sure your buddy can't go make trouble." The superhero turned towards the other Whistler, who was still hunched and sucking in deep breaths. Scarlet Moon lifted the second woman off the ground, and removed her trenchcoat, revealing a rather plain (but well-fitted) blouse and a pair of skintight slacks that showed off her small, tight bottom. The clothing was plain, but surprisingly well-made. Scarlet Moon tore the sleeves off the woman's shirt and balled it up. $She tore a few strips off the bottom.

The woman grunted savagely. Scarlet Moon started with slow, hard, sweeping strokes to the seat of the woman's tight slacks. For the first twenty or so strokes, the woman lay limply across Scarlet Moon's knee, with perhaps the occasional grunt. Cracks began to show. A bending of the knees here. A squirm of the hips there. Scarlet Moon paused after the fifth such little squirm. "Starting to sting a little bit? Good. It's the least you and every member of your little gang deserve." The Whistler grunted angrily. [["\"I don't know what you said, but it sounded rude.

After much tugging and grunting, Scarlet Moon successfully got the slacks down to the Whistler's knees. Only a small pair of lacy red panties that left the woman's firm lower cheeks exposed stood "between" Scarlet Moon's Red Hand of Justice and the Whistler's Pink Bottom of Wrongdoing.

The woman squirmed as best she could while bound with thick ship rope and bent over Scarlet Moon's knee. She grunted and squeaked against her gag, and shook her head, throwing her long chestnut hair around. [["\"So, have we learned anything yet?\""|ep1d2_power_spanking_5]] [["\"Have you learned the price of villainy?\""|ep1d2_power_spanking_5]] [["\"Shall I stop?\""|ep1d2_power_spanking_5]]Scarlet Moon gathered some of the woman's hair into $her fist and giving a slight tug. The woman grunted savagely. Scarlet Moon sighed and resumed the rapid peppering, this time focusing on the woman's sitspots. After another five minutes of stingy justice, the woman's ass and upper thighs were redder than her panties. She squirmed and snarled with every stroke, but showed no signs of relenting. Scarlet Moon paused for a second to catch $her breath. "Lady you've got one seriously tough bottom. Color me impressed." The woman snarled. "If you think-" Scarlet Moon stopped. $She could just make out sirens in the distance. "I'm running out of time." Scarlet Moon yanked the tight slacks back up and over the woman's bottom.The woman squeaked and squirmed as the polyester rubbed against her swollen cheeks. Scarlet Moon dumped the woman next to her companion. <<set $spankedFutureSPANKAgent to true>> [["\"Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna use your kickass Fedora and trenchcoat to sneak into your buddies' hideout.

This was gonna be interesting. And by interesting $she meant terrifying. If $she had to fight these thugs, $she'd have to finish them as quickly and as painlessly as possible. Buzzsaw was still in there, and losing wasn't an option. A rather weaselly looking man in the middle pointed a finger at the superhero-in-disguise. "Who the hell are you?" [["\"Aww come on buddy boy.

Buzzsaw was in there somewhere, waiting for $herm, and losing wasn't an option. Scarlet Moon took another deep breath and leapt through the window. $Her foot caught on the lip of the window. Instead of landing amongst the crowd, fists, feet and Scarlet Beams flying, $she faceplanted on the hard concrete right in the middle of the crowd of Whistlers. "Holy crap, <<sexycostume 'strippers' ' clowns'>> are falling from the sky!" cried a weaselly man. Scarlet Moon growled. $She lifted $her head, and unleashed a Scarlet Beam in the direction of the voice, striking a weaselly looking man dead in the chest. $She pushed $herself to $her feet. "I'm not a <<sexycostume 'stripper' ' clown'>>! I'm-" A particle beam burst out of the darkness.

Scarlet Moon arched $her back, and a beam missed $her by inches. $She spun around a whistler's stun baton, only to get punched in the face. $She staggered against the steel loading door. A rather large man grabbed Scarlet Moon, bent $herm over his hip and whaled on $her <<sexycostume 'bare' ' spandex-clad'>> <<fat>> ass with a large, callused palm. With a snarl of frustration, Scarlet Moon grabbed the man's ankle and flung him off into the darkness of the warehouse. $She ripped the steel door off its hinges, and tossed it at the Whistlers, sending them all scrambling. $She backpedaled outside, where $she had a bit more room to maneuver.

The Whistlers charged out of the building, hooting and howling. Scarlet Moon scrambled backwards. There sure were a lot of them. $She really needed some way of taking out a bunch of them at once.

Buzzsaw's boisterous voice echoed throughout the maze, seeming to come from everywhere at once. There was some shouting to the left, and Scarlet Moon jumped up to the top of one of the crate walls. $She lay flat against the crate and tried to dampen $her glow. A small number of Whistlers (maybe four?) dashed past and outside. Scarlet Moon took a breath, and slipped deeper into the warehouse, searching for the source of the voice that sent shivers down $her spine. Eventually, $she found Buzzsaw and Alexandra in the middle of the warehouse in a large, circular, dimly-lit space. Buzzsaw paced back and forth like a caged animal, a phone to her ear. Alexandra sat tied to a metal folding chair with a thick wad of duct tape smeared across $her lips. Her tear streaked face did little to take away from the white hot glare she leveled at the gang leader. [["\"That's Alex for ya.\""|ep1d2_break_in_victory_1a]] [["\"Well, well.

"The police are gonna be on my ass any minute, and Glo$girl's already here somewhere." Scarlet Moon bit $her lower lip. On the one hand, this would be a perfect time for an ambush. On the other, who was Buzzsaw talking to? Did she have a partner? Was it one of her Whistlers coming with an escape van or something? [[Ambush Buzzsaw.|ep1d2_ambush_buzzsaw]] [[Eavesdrop on the conversation.|ep1d2_eavesdrop_buzzsaw]]Scarlet Moon leapt off the crate wall, and wrapped a crimson cord around a nearby pillar. $She swung through the air and rammed both feet into Buzzsaw's back, sending the villain flying through a wall of crates.

She flung it at Scarlet Moon. "I've had enough of you Glo$girl!" Scarlet Moon leapt over the crate. $Her eyes flared with blazing light, and a blinding beam of crimson light utterly consumed Buzzsaw. Buzzsaw flew through the air, propelled through wall after wall of crates. Scarlet Moon landed and ran towards Alexandra. "Hang on Ms. Silver, I'll get you out-" There was a scream of rage, and the pounding of boots on concrete. Buzzsaw burst out of the shadows, her massive chain spinning above her head. Scarlet Moon formed a scarlet spring and smashed it into Buzzsaw's chest. Buzzsaw sailed backwards. She landed on a crate, and flung herself back at Scarlet Moon. Scarlet Moon wrapped a cord around a rafter and flung herself towards the ceiling. Buzzsaw whipped her chain around Scarlet Moon, locking $her arms to $her sides. She yanked down. The rafter split, and Scarlet Moon slammed into the hard concrete. Buzzsaw laughed maniacally. "I was hoping you'd show up Glogirl. I owe you a debt." The lunatic yanked Scarlet Moon towards her. The superheroine slid across the concrete.

The villain kicked Scarlet Moon in the chest, sending $herm flying into the air. Scarlet Moon wrapped a scarlet cord around Buzzsaw's ankle. As soon as $she landed, $she spun Buzzsaw through the air. Scarlet Moon released, and sent Buzzsaw flying through another wall of crates. "This is the police," said a voice over loud speakers outside the warehouse. "Come out with your hands up." Buzzsaw burst from the crates. She screamed in rage. Her body was wrapped in a nimbus of scarlet light. "You cock sucking, pig fucking, shit eating little $bitch! You've ruined everything!" Buzzsaw leapt at Scarlet Moon while the whine of particle beams, battle cries, and police orders filled the warehouse. Scarlet Moon's ambush has caught Buzzsaw off balance! She takes a 1 point penalty to speed, and a 5 point penalty to energy. [[Take Buzzsaw down.|ep1d2_boss_fight]]Scarlet Moon hunkered deeper in the shadows. "Some superpowered shit I fought a few nights ago. $She had like, night light powers or something. Look, it doesn't matter. Or it won't if you get your scrawny ass over here." "Do I know who you are? Do you know who I am? I'm the motherfucking Buzzsaw! Now get your ass over here and take your fucking prisoner before I turn your pretty little car into a basketball, then beat your pampered ass-" Buzzsaw stopped. Her teeth ground audibly together. "Why you little-" Buzzsaw stopped again. Her eyes bugged out of her head, and her face turned bright red. She took a deep breath. "Wouldn't help you much, now would it? You know what? I don't give a fuck. Let them come. I'll turn Generica's finest into Generica's brokest!" Buzzsaw snapped the phone shut and shoved it back into her pocket.

She rammed her fist through the crate Scarlet Moon was laying on and hurled it at a pillar. "Woah!" Scarlet Moon snapped a cord around a nearby rafter and leapt off the box. Buzzsaw sailed out of the dimness, and punched Scarlet Moon in the chest, sending $herm smashing through the pillar, through another crate wall, and into a third. Scarlet Moon stumbled out of the smashed crates, transistors spilling out all around $herm. Buzzsaw's chain wrapped around $her torso and yanked $herm into Buzzsaw's grip. Buzzsaw grinned. "Think I'm stupid do you?" "How much of that was an act?" asked Scarlet Moon, straining against Buzzsaw's grip. "Wouldn't you like to know." Buzzsaw's head snapped down, her razor-sharp Mohawk arcing towards Scarlet Moon's head. Scarlet Moon's shield flared and the razor-sharp hair halted. At first. The mohawk inched closer and closer to Scarlet Moon's head. Buzzsaw's face twisted into a rictus grin. "You're mine Glo$girl."

The two combatants flew apart. Buzzsaw's chain (still wrapped around Scarlet Moon's torso) snapped taut. Scarlet Moon gasped as $her body wrenched in midair, and slammed into the hard concrete at Buzzsaw's feet. "This is the police," called a loudspeaker from outside the warehouse. "Come out with your hands up." Buzzsaw's head whipped towards the sound. Her face turned bright red, and her eyes bugged out of her head. She seemed surrounded by a nimbus of scarlet light.

Scarlet Moon's shield flared. $She pulled on the pillar with everything $she had. Buzzsaw whipped through the air and smashed through a wall of crates, sending wires flying everywhere. With a scream, Scarlet Moon snapped free of the chains, wrapped another Scarlet Cord around the rafters, and swung after the supervillain. [[Take Buzzsaw down.|ep1d2_boss_fight]]Buzzsaw burst out of the crates, only to get kicked in the chest. The villain flew through three more piles of crates and slammed into a post. Buzzsaw ripped the post from its moorings and charged at Scarlet Moon, holding it like a lance. <span id=comment1> <<link '"Hope that wasn\'t load bearing."'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Hope that wasn't load bearing." <</replace>> <</link>> <<link '"Oh crap."'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Oh crap." <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Say nothing.'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> Scarlet Moon grimaced. <</replace>> <</link>> </span> Scarlet Moon braced $herself and caught the pillar.

Buzzsaw whipped her chain, still attached to Scarlet Moon's ankle, above her head, whirling the $superheroine through the air. $She released, sending Scarlet Moon smashing through the roof and into the air. Flashing lights filled Scarlet Moon's vision. Small dark figures sprinted around outside the building, while spot lights lit up the exterior. The police. A lot of them. There were shouts of surprise as Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the roof and zipped back through the hole, tackling Buzzsaw.

Buzzsaw wrapped Scarlet Moon in a bear hug, and lifted $herm into the air. "Wiggle your way out of this, Glo$girl!" Buzzsaw lashed her head forward. Scarlet Moon flared $her shield.

A massive blast of energy erupted from Scarlet Moon's eyes and slammed into Buzzsaw. Scarlet Moon's entire body went rigid. Buzzsaw slowly stomped forward, pushing through the blast. One. Unstoppable. Step. At a time. But Scarlet Moon did not move. This woman chased $her and her sister. She'd assaulted and kidnapped $her roommate. Alexandra needed $herm now, and Scarlet Moon was not. Going. To Move. [[Pour it on. Pour it all on.|ep1d2_boss_fight_victory]]Buzzsaw fell onto her face. Scarlet Moon's beam vanished. $She tensed, waiting for the vicious villain to stand back up.

"How could you possibly know that?" "About the stuffed animal? Educated guess. Alexandra strikes me as having a soft side." Scarlet Moon grunted skeptically. "Well, in that case I figure we should get food. You're buying." "Why the hell am I buying?" Scarlet Moon ran for the edge of the building and leapt into the air.

"Gonna have to figure out how to wash that thing, but that's a problem for-" "We've got a problem. Come here." Juliana clicked play on an internet news video. [[Watch the video over Juliana's shoulder|ep1d2_home]]Danielle Wilkins, the reporter from before, stood in front of a police van with a giant hole in it. "Not long after the police arrested Buzzsaw, the alleged leader of the vicious Whistler gang and the suspected mastermind behind-" "Mastermind?" scoffed $name. "Hush and listen," snapped Juliana. "-firsthand how the alleged kidnapper sawed her way out of the van with her mohawk. It sounds ridiculous people of Generica, but it's true as multiple eye witnesses and video footage can testify." The video cut away to a video of Buzzsaw hacking her way out of the moving van, and leaping onto the road at forty miles per hour. The supervillain dashed into a nearby alley. $name's heart nearly stopped. The video cut back to the newscaster. "This video was taken mere moments ago. Even as we speak, the police are spreading a dragnet over the city to find the self-styled Buzzsaw, but can they really handle someone who can cut solid steel with her hair?" Juliana stopped the video, and gave $name a grave look. [["\"Goddammit!

"And what then?" snapped $name. "Kick her ass, leave her for the police and have this happen all over again?" "I don't know." Juliana massaged her forehead. "I'll think of something. But not tonight.

[[Put your hands on your knees and take deep breaths|ep2d1_start_breath]] [[Massage your aching head|ep2d1_start_breath]] <<clearBummarks>> <<equipCostume>>"You doing ok?" asked Juliana over Scarlet Moon's bluetooth. "Six weeks." Scarlet Moon slapped $her hand against $her thigh. "And not so much as a hair. What on earth is she doing, and where is she doing it?" "I don't know." Frustration edged Juliana's voice. "Maybe trying to pull her gang back together, or learning her powers better." "Neither is comforting." "I know--holy crap it's 10:30. You need to get back now." [["\"You've got to be kidding me.\""|ep2d1_start_breath_1]] [["\"Now you tell me?\""|ep2d1_start_breath_1]] [[Sigh in disgust.|ep2d1_start_breath_1]]Scarlet Moon leapt off the roof and wrapped a scarlet cord around a nearby streetlight. "I coulda sworn I set an alarm. Why didn't it-oh. Looks like I set it for 10 am, not pm. Oops." "From this day forward, you will use military time." Scarlet Moon arced around the corner of a building, startling a couple of pigeons into the air. $She released $her cord, and landed on a ledge outside some windows. $She eased $herself down a few more stories, and leapt onto the back of a semi sitting at a light. $She rode that a couple of blocks, and swung off when the semi turned right instead of left. "Good idea. And look, if Sam catches you I'll let you give me the same, 'cause it's kind of my fault." [["\"How thoughtful.\""|ep2d1_alarm]] [["\"Oh yes, because that'll make his paddle hurt so much less.\""|ep2d1_alarm]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d1_alarm]]As Scarlet Moon swung out of the slums and into a moderately prosperous business district, a high-pitched alarm pierced the city background noise. "Aww, crap." Scarlet Moon adjusted course in the direction of the alarm. "What's going on? Is that an alarm?" "Yeah. Robbery of some kind or another." Scarlet Moon landed on a roof next to a jewelry store with a smashed window display. "Pretty blatant too, and on kind of a busy street. Kinda stupid, you ask me. Cops should be able to handle it though." "What street are you on?" "N. Randolph." "That's a main thoroughfare. Cops should be all over their butts by the time I finish this sentence." Scarlet Moon felt a chill. "Maybe copsn't worry them." "Yeah, I'm thinking you should check it out." Scarlet Moon sighed, and leapt off the roof. <<link "\"And thus, Scarlet Moon nobly sacrificed $her bottom to save innocents and their shit.\"" ep2d1_alarm_1>><</link>> [["\"I am so going to miss curfew.\""|ep2d1_alarm_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d1_alarm_1]]$She landed in the alleyway between the jewelry store, and some mom-and-pop place. The sidewalk was empty. Likely any pedestrians had beat it when the alarm went off and/or they saw a bunch of thugs smash the glass. Scarlet Moon slipped around to the front of the building and peeked in. Three dark figures moved about the display room, smashing display cases and yanking out sparkly necklaces, rings, and gems. They moved quickly, but didn't seem hurried. They also didn't say anything to each other. All three wore fancy ballroom dresses: red, white and blue. None of them seemed to be wearing masks, though they were wearing gloves. Elegant silk gloves, but gloves none the less. The one in the blue dress glanced over her shoulder and looked Scarlet Moon in the eye. Scarlet Moon jumped up on top of one of the display cases. [["\"What's this?

Scarlet Moon ducked, but $she needn't have bothered; the shot went way wide and splattered harmlessly against a chandelier. The other two charged as best they could in elegant ballroom dresses and heels. [["\"I'm all for themes, but which one of you lightbulbs thought ballroom dresses were a good idea?\""|ep2d1_robbery_fight]] [["\"Your mistake.\""|ep2d1_robbery_fight]] [[Say nothing|ep2d1_robbery_fight]]Scarlet Moon wove a scarlet staff, and rammed it into the gut of one charging woman, then whirled, and swept the feet out from the second. The third woman raised her particle gun again, but Scarlet Moon pole vaulted behind her and took her out with an elbow to the kidneys. Fast as it started, $she stood amongst $her groaning foes, hands on $her hips. "So, I take it you won?" asked Juliana. "With aplomb. Turns out these threen't have superpowers. They're just idiots." "Great, so whyn't you come on home? It's about ten forty-five now." Scarlet Moon groaned. "I know, I know, but hey you stopped a couple of thieves. You've helped make Generica just a little bit safer." Scarlet Moon glared at the three dazed thieves. [["\"Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm coming.\""|ep2d1_return]] [["\"All I stopped was a trio of idiots who thought robbing a jewelry store in gowns was a good idea. A trio of idiots who desperately need warm tails.\""|ep2d1_robbery_spanking]]"If you insist," said Juliana. "Alright, who wants to be the first one over my knee? If you volunteer, I won't be so rough on you. Maybe." The robbers moaned. Scarlet Moon shook $her head. "Always gotta be difficult." Scarlet Moon walked towards Red Dress and pulled her up by the wrist. "Ow! Hey, that hurts!" "If you think that hurts, just wait until you see what happens next." Scarlet Moon went into a lunge position and turned the red-dressed girl over $her knee. $She lifted the girl's dress, revealing a tiny red g-string sucked in the crack of her thick bottom. [["\"Hoping to impress somebody?\""|ep2d1_robbery_spanking_1]] [["\"Your undergarments are most convenient.\""|ep2d1_robbery_spanking_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d1_robbery_spanking_1]]Scarlet Moon rubbed the woman's buttocks, seeking the safest spots to whale on. Lifting $her hand up, the superheroine snapped it rightwn on the girl's right cheek, like $she was swatting a fly. The sharp smack echoed throughout the room, interlaced with the girl's cries. Scarlet Moon followed it up with another, and another, and another. "OWW! STOP!" cried the girl, her cries nearly drowned out by the hard smacks pouringwn on her bubbly cheeks. About a minute in, when her bottom was a bright pink, the sobbing stopped. Scarlet Moon paused, $her hand raised in mid-slap. "Where am I?" The woman's voice changed, turning soft and confused. The woman glanced at her accomplices, and over her shoulder at Scarlet Moon. Her eyes widened in terror. "Oh my god you're that lunatic! What did you to me? How did I get here, I want to go home!". Scarlet Moon raised $her eyebrows. [["\"Umm, stopping you from robbing a jewelry store in a dress?\""|ep2d1_robbery_spanking_2]] [["\"Teaching you what happens to robbers in this town!\""|ep2d1_robbery_spanking_2]] [["\"You were robbing the place. I stopped you. Now I'm disciplining you.\""|ep2d1_robbery_spanking_2]]"What? Why would I commit robbery? I could buy this place ten times over!" The woman's voice rose into a panicked wail. "Please, just don't hurt me, is it money you want?

"Relax, I'm not going to hurt you." The woman twisted around and stared at Scarlet Moon like a cornered rabbit watching a wolf. Scarlet Moon backed away, and turned away from the trio. "Are you following this?" "Yeah. Normally I'd say she's faking it, but--" "But they're not wearing masks, they're dressed for a ball, and they don't have superpowers." Scarlet Moon glanced back at the trio. "The other two look like they may have changed too." Scarlet Moon barely made out the faint sound of drumming, as if Juliana were drumming her fingers against her desk. "Could we be dealing with possession, or mind control or something? Don't know if that's even possible, but we really don't know anything about whatever it is that lets you give the laws of physics a spanking." Sirens split the night air. "That's my cue. We can talk more about this later." Scarlet Moon ran out of the store and leapt into the cold night air. For a few minutes, Scarlet Moon swung in silence. "So, that was weird," said Juliana at last. [["\"Must be a day ending in y. What's going on tonight that'd justify ballroom dresses?\""|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_stop_1]] [["\"Indeed. Anything fancy going on tonight?\""|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_stop_1]] [["\"What formal parties are being hosted tonight?\""|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_stop_1]]"Umm..." A few minutes of tapping followed. Scarlet Moon had just whipped past an open apartment window, when Juliana spoke again. "Tons of things. It's kind of a big city. We have a fundraising gala for some politician or other, a business summit, the ten year reunion for a very, very, very high end school... There's even a ballroom dancing convention in town." Scarlet Moon sighed. "Should have tried to get that lady's name. I was just so frazzled-" "Don't worry about it. The police will get their names, and the papers are sure to publish a couple of stories about it. Most of it will be speculative garbage of course, but nestled in there will be some useful nuggets." "I guess that's true." Scarlet Moon landed on a building top and sprinted across it, leaping out back into the void. "So, it's after eleven by now isn't it?" "Yup. Butn't worry, just sneak in through the window. Sam'll never know." <<include ep2d1_return_1>>Scarlet Moon peppered the woman's round bottom, every blow striking her bouncing right cheek. After a few minutes, Scarlet Moon paused and studied the scarlet handprints decorating the girl's soft, smooth skin. "Now for the second cheek." "No, please, please stop," sobbed the woman. "This doesn't feel right," said Juliana uneasily. "Not until you've learned your lesson." Scarlet Moon began another volley, this time focusing on the woman's left cheek. The woman thrashed around. Her bottom was soft and pliant beneath Scarlet Moon's palm, the plushy flesh caving and bouncing back with every stroke. Eventually, Scarlet Moon pushed the sniveling girl off of her knee and onto the cold ground. The girl screamed as her bruised butt touched the hard linoleum. [["\"Now sit there like a good girl, and think about what you've done.\""|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_red_continue_1]] [["\"Hopefully, you'll learn an important lesson about respecting the Law young lady.\""|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_red_continue_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_red_continue_1]]Scarlet Moon looked at the other two. "Okay, who's next?" The two girls shared frightened looks. "I choose you." Scarlet Moon walked over to Blue Dress. "Please, don't do this to me," said the girl. "Sorry gal, it's just not fair if I only spank one of you." Scarlet Moon picked up the crying girl and put her in the same position as the last girl. $She hiked her blue dress up, revealing a blue g-string. [["\"Wow, you girls even planned out your underwear. True criminal masterminds you are.\""|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_red_continue_2]] [["\"Hmm. Again with the mostly non-existent underwear.\""|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_red_continue_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_red_continue_2]]"Please, don't do thi-AHHHHHH!" Even though this girl seemed even more distressed than the last one, Scarlet Moon showed no mercy, battering the girl's ass with a rain of spanks. "I think there's something more going on here," said Juliana. This girl bruised even faster than the last one. A mere five minutes turned her bum a deep, dark red. "Oops, I think I might've overslapped this one." Scarlet Moon grimaced a little. "Oooooh, my ass hurts." "Oh well, only one more to go," Scarlet Moon pushed the blue-dress girl off $her knee, and turned to face the third girl. Except she was nowhere to be found. "Huh, that's odd. I definitely remember there being three girls." [["\"Alright little girl, come out and get your medicine.\""|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_red_continue_3]] [["\"If youn't get out here right now, I'm going to spank your ass so hard it's going to look like it was born red!\""|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_red_continue_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_red_continue_3]]"Seriously, their sudden change of heart is making me wonder. We might be dealing with possession, or mind control or something," said Juliana. Scarlet Moon sighed and crossed $her arms over $her chest. "You're not getting away girl. You're only making it worse for yourself." Just when Scarlet Moon thought that $she was going to have to actually start looking, a loud crash echoed from the other side of the room. "Oooh, my butt. I think I broke my tail bone." The last girl was found clutching her buttocks, staring up at a small window near the top of the wall. Next to the woman was a collapsed wooden shelf and a fallen ladder. The girl froze, her hands still on her ass, as she slowly swivelled her head around to look Scarlet Moon in the eye. "Uh... here I am," said White Dress, her lips quivering and her eyes filled with fear. "Did you just try to run away?" "Uh..." [["\"Eeyup, I'll take that as a yes. Now get your ass over my knee.\""|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_red_continue_4]] [["\"No sense denying it girl. Now come here.\""|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_red_continue_4]] [[Glare at the girl.|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_red_continue_4]]The girl tried to scamper away, but Scarlet Moon grabbed her foot with one hand and dragged her closer. $She lifted up the thief's dress with the other. "Let's see what we got under here. I'll bet my ass that it's a white th-" Scarlet Moon's eyes went wide when she saw what was under that dress. Or, more accurately, what wasn't. [["\"Oh, well look whose frisky tonight.\""|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_red_continue_5]] [["\"It's like you knew you faced the Scarlet Palm of Justice, and prepared ahead of time!\""|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_red_continue_5]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d1_spanked_robbers_red_continue_5]]"Stop it! Leave me alone! Let me go!" Scarlet Moon yanked the girl over $her knee, and went to town. "Ow! Ow! I'm sorry, please stop!" Juliana sighed in disgust. Hard slap after hard slap after hard slap descended on the girl's soft bottom. The only sounds were the sharp smacks of hand to bare bottom and the girl's wails and cries. Ten minutes passed. Ten minutes of bum-bouncing swat after bum-bouncing swat after bum-bouncing swat. The girl's eyes filled with tears and her ass turned rose red, just like Scarlet Moon promised. Scarlet Moon tossed the girl over $her shoulder and walked back to the other two. $She plopped White Dresswn next to Red and Blue Dress, smirking a little at the girl's wail of pain. [["\"And always remember girls, crime never pays.\""|ep2d1_return]] [["\"The cops'll be here shortly I'm sure. Enjoy your jail cell.\""|ep2d1_return]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d1_return]]Scarlet Moon tied the trio together with a crimson cord and plopped them on top of a display case. "Don't worry ladies. That cord'll fade in about ten minutes. More than enough--ah, I hear them now." As sirens split the night, Scarlet Moon leapt up into the air, wrapped a cord around a nearby lamppost, and swung away. "Please tell me you're finally leaving," said Juliana with a strained voice. Scarlet Moon swung past a blinding billboard advertising Twinkle Teeth toothpaste. "I'm working on it, I'm working on it. But somebody whom I shall not name thought I should get involved in a robbery." "Don't get snippy with me. This is what a superhero does." "Being a superhero sucks." "Relax. Just swing around behind campus and slip in through your window. Sam doesn't know you're out." <<include ep2d1_return_1>>[["\"Pretty sure they track keycard use genius.\""|ep2d1_return_2]] [["\"And they'll see I never scanned in. That's *also* a spanking offense.\""|ep2d1_return_2]] [["\"They'll know I didn't come in through aor.\""|ep2d1_return_2]]Scarlet Moon snagged a crane and swung into the scaffolding of a partially constructed building. $She used the exposed steel girders like monkey bars and burst out the other side. "I scanned out, but I never scanned back in." "Pfsh. I hacked that while you were out. So far as Sam or the systems know, you came home about 10:30 or so," said Juliana. Scarlet Moon landed on top of some office building or other. "Really?" "'Course. Super genius remember?" said Juliana. "Now hurry home. Leet hacking skills won't protect us from a surprise inspection." Quarter of an hour later, Scarlet Moon reached the edge of campus. $She slipped into the small forest that horseshoed around campus, and circled around to the athletic building. $She leapt onto the roof and pulled $her backpack out of a small nook. The pack had a change of clothes and $her student ID. "Probably shouldn't keep my ID with my clothing. What if someone, like a janitor or something found it?" Scarlet Moon slung the backpack over $her shoulder, and leapt back into the trees. "Now that I've got root access to the keycard system you can just keep an empty wallet in there. When you're coming back, you can press the wallet against the scanner, while I fake your card," said Juliana. [["\"What would I without you? Besides, you know, *not* be a superhero and have to worry about this at all.\""|ep2d1_return_3]] [["\"Yeah, that makes things much easier.\""|ep2d1_return_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d1_return_3]]Scarlet Moon flitted through the forest just inside the tree line. $She followed the curve of the Moat, the street that completely surrounded campus. Everybury Hall backed right up against the trees with a small "tributary" branching off the Moat and leading into the parking lot on the west side. Scarlet Moon gathered $her energy into $her legs and leapt mostly up, with a slight curve forward, quashing the shield around $her legs as $she rocketed up to a height well above the building. Anyone who happened to look out their window would have seen nothing but a dark streak, if that. At the apex of $her jump, $she latched a pair of thin scarlet cords to the roof of the building. $She gave $herself a slight tug, and put pressure on the cords, slowing $her descent. As $she fell, $she gradually thickened the cords, further slowing $her velocity. $She touchedwn on the roof with barely a whisper. "Landed," said Scarlet Moon with a grin. "And you complained about all the practice," said Juliana. "You know where your window is right?" "Of course, right on-oh no." Scarlet Moon stopped and groaned. "The lock, I forgot about the stupid lock." "What the ones on the windows?" [["\"Yeah, that keep them from opening more than a crack.\""|ep2d1_return_4]] [["\"Stupid anti-suicide latches, or whatever crap they are.\""|ep2d1_return_4]] [["\"Yes.\""|ep2d1_return_4]]"Yeah, I fixed that over Labor Day, while you were patrolling. They should still provide enough resistance to convince people that they don't open any further. Put a little bit more pressure on them though, and they'll slide right up." Scarlet Moon shook $her head. "You're nuts." "Don't complain. Thanks to me you'll be sleeping quite comfortably tonight." Scarlet Moon reached the corner with $her window. $She slippedwn onto the ledge and pulled the window up. Sure enough, it gave a bit of resistance after a few inches. $She gave it just a little bit more force, and it opened right up. [["\"Wouldn't dream of it.\""|ep2d1_change_1]] [["\"You think of everything don't you?\""|ep2d1_change_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d1_change_1]]Scarlet Moon slipped in, closed the window and hastily changed into $her clothing. $She stuffed $her costume into a secret compartment Juliana had added to the bottom of $her bookbag. $She grabbed $her toiletries, a towel, and $her pajamas and stepped out into the common area, $name Amaya once more. Vanessa sat in the common room with a book open on her lap. She looked up and smiled, pulling her earbuds out of her ears. Some heavy metal song or other added a harsh accent to the room's silence. "Oh hey, didn't see you get back. And here I thought at least somebody was out having fun tonight." "Why Vanessa, are you encouraging me to break the rules?" asked $name, putting a hand to $her chest. "I'm shocked and appalled." Vanessa shook her head. "No, I just, sometimes I get these moods where all I want to is cut loose and stop caring quite so much." "Have you ever acted on them?" asked $name. "No. Rules exist for a reason, and I'm not gonna go breaking them just 'cause I feel like it." [["\"Probably wise.

"Come on, I wanna go before it gets too crowded." $name pulled $her head out of $her closet and half-turned to the door. "Hold your horses. Just need to find something to wear." $She hastily got changed, and stepped out to join Juliana. Juliana stood in the middle of the common room with her arms crossed and her foot tapping. Her washboard midriff peeked out from underneath a tight v-necked green half-shirt that exposed the tops of her soft breasts. She also wore a white ruffly skirt that only went halfway to her knees. "Finally," she said. "What were you doing, reading War and Peace?" [["\"Don't give me that lip. Some of us had a busy evening.\""|ep2d2_farmers_market_1]] [["\"Stop bitching.

"Oh I meant to ask you last night, did you see I hung your work uniform on your door yesterday morning?" $name nodded. "Tried it on too. It fit like a dream. Almost tailored." Vanessa smiled. "Excellent. You nervous?" [["\"Well, yeah. Sounds like a ritzy place. What if I swear in front of the guests?\""|ep2d2_job_discussion_mess_up]] [["\"Yeah, I'm pretty nervous.

By the end you'll either be fired, or you'll know what to do and won't be nervous." "I see," said $name. "A month of sore bottoms and then a pink slip at the end. What a thing to look forward to." "Relax, I'm training you. You'll be fine," said Vanessa. [["\"I hope so.\""|ep2d2_job_farmers_market]] [["\"Wonderful.

Mind if I come along?" asked Vanessa. "Of course you can come," said Juliana with a dazzling grin. The trio headed for the bus stop. Juliana didn't really feel like navigating city traffic, and there was a direct route from campus to the market, so it wasn't really any slower than driving. "So Vanessa, has the mood passed?" asked $name. "Of course. It never lasts to daylight." Juliana threw the two a questioning look. "Don't worry about it," said Vanessa with a flick of her wrist. "Just the remnants of a brief nighttime chat." The ride to the market was uneventful. When they arrived they found the market in full swing: shoppers browsed vegetable, fruit, and craft stalls while street musicians played and food vendors hawked their fatty snacks. "Perfect," said Juliana as they got off the bus. "Enough people to be interesting, not enough to be suffocating." [["\"You have a weird definition of suffocating.\""|ep2d2_job_farmers_market_1]] [["\"Is that kettle corn I smell?

An old man chatted leisurely with a farmer while a middle-aged woman played a guitar next to them, and a man hawked corn dogs across from them. Juliana snatched up a corn dog and chomped gleefully. Vanessa settled for a fresh apple, a bemused look on her face. The three stumbled across a knot of people that felt...off somehow. Children still giggled, but it seemed subdued. Conversation was more muted and stacatto, as if people couldn't hold a train of thought for more than a minute. $name's vision tilted, and a dull throbbing began behind $her eyes. $Her vision took on a red tint, like the sun were setting just off $her peripheral vision. "Surprise!" Juliana's hands closed over $name's eyes. "Come on I want to show you something!" Juliana guided the dazed young $woman away. After a few minutes of aimless walking, Juliana removed her hands. "Ok." $name shook $her head to clear it.

"Your eyes started to glow." $name's heart skipped a beat. "I felt this weird pressure against my head. Like someone was pushing on it. Couldn't really focus." "Like someone pressing against a locked door?" asked Juliana, her eyes flicking back to the dazed crowd. "I felt the same way, except the dazed part. Felt like a weaker version of the headache I had that night." $name nodded, and glanced around. "Have you seen Vanessa?" "I think she melded in with the crowd. Wait here." Juliana returned to the knot of people. [["\"Wait, why do I have to wait?\""|ep2d2_job_farmers_market_3]] [["\"Yeah, that sounds good.\""|ep2d2_job_farmers_market_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_job_farmers_market_3]]$name frowned. The strange pressure had mostly faded, but it still nagged at $her, a dim reminder that something was not right. <<if $ep2d1_spanked_robbers>> <<include ep2d2_maybe_investigate>> <<else>> <<include ep2d2_wait>> <</if>>$name thought back to the robbers last night. How strangely dazed, and incompetent they seemed at first. The utter transformation when $she starting spanking Red Dress. The confusion and fear. [[Change into Scarlet Moon and investigate.|ep2d2_scarlet_moon_market]] [[Let Juliana handle it.|ep2d2_wait]]$name ran for the port-a-potties. Fortunately there didn't seem to be a line, and nobody seemed to be paying very close attention. $name slipped into one. And gagged. Why couldn't $she have been a 1970's hero? They had phone booths. $name shucked off $her clothing and yanked $her costume out of the secret compartment in $her backpack. $She threw it on, and shoved $her clothing back into $her backpack. $She looked down at $her backpack, around the port-a-potty, and back down at $her backpack. $She glanced at the toilet and shuddered. $She shoved $her backpack into a corner. $She thought about all the people who would see $herm burst out of the port-a-potty. $She groaned. [["\"Juliana's gonna kill me.\""|ep2d2_scarlet_moon_market_1]] [["\"The sacrifices I make for my city.\""|ep2d2_scarlet_moon_market_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_scarlet_moon_market_1]] <<set $ep2d2_investigate_market to true>>Scarlet Moon lifted the toilet seat. $She wrapped a bubble of energy around $her backpack, and lowered it into the putrifying remnants of a thousand corndogs with a scarlet cord. $She swung the cord and pinned it to the sides of the Eldritch Shaft Of Horror. With the bright daylight filtering in through the top of the port-a-potty, you'd have to know where the cord was, and look really really close to find it. Far closer, hopefully, than anyone would want to look down a port-a-potty toilet. Scarlet Moon slipped out, and jumped on top of the potty with a loud clatter. "Holy crap, it's Scarlet Moon!" "Crap indeed. Think I saw $herm come out of the port-a-potty." "Eww." "Did you see who went in?" "Yeah." "Who?" "Your <<female 'mom.' 'dad.'>>" "No way.

The knot of dazed people seemed focused on a small booth at the base of a streetlight. Scarlet Moon gathered power into $her feet, and leapt towards it. $She overshot a little, snapped a cord against the streetlight, swung around it and landed on top of the post. There was a yelp from the base of the light. A scream rent the air, and the knot of people exploded in all directions in a panicked, frenzied mob. A child screamed as the crowd ripped him away from his mother's grasp. The mother howled as she was pushed away by the sheer force of the stampede. [[STRENGTH: Snatch the child with a cord and pull him out of the stampede.|ep2d2_scarlet_moon_market_strength]] [[SPEED: Zip down and grab the child before he's hurt.|ep2d2_scarlet_moon_market_speed]] [[POWER: Land next to the child and wrap him in a shield.|ep2d2_scarlet_moon_market_power]]Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the boy's shoulders and heaved him up into the air and away from the crowd.

The boy squealed with joy.

Scarlet Moon leapt down and landed next to her. The mother snatched her son out of Scarlet Moon's arms almost before the $heroine had even landed. Scarlet Moon set the man down next to her. $She felt a sudden sharp sting on $her right cheek. $She yelped and hopped forward. [["\"What the fuck?\""|ep2d2_scarlet_moon_market_3]] [["\"What the heck?\""|ep2d2_scarlet_moon_market_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_scarlet_moon_market_3]]$She spun to face the mother. "This is all your fault," snapped the woman. "My child could have been killed." "I didn't--" <<sexycostume '"And what are you doing, wearing an outfit like that? There are children around."' '"Oh yes you did, showing up out of nowhere like that. I saw what you and Buzzsaw did."'>> "Well, you're welcome," snapped Scarlet Moon. $She leapt back up onto the sign. $She saved a grumpy old lady (who tried to smack Scarlet Moon's bum with her cane, thank God for forceshields), a dog who tried to bite $herm (yay forceshields!), and a guy who hit on $herm (the forceshield was useless). By then, the stampede had dispersed, and it looked like nobody had been seriously hurt. Scarlet Moon took a deep breath. $She took one last look around, and leapt onto a parking lot sign. $She lashed a crimson cord against the nearby grocery store and swung around behind it. $She tucked $herself into a corner of the roof just as $her bluetooth receiver crackled. "Where'd you put the stuff?" asked Juliana curtly. Scarlet Moon winced. [["\"Oh, you know. Some place magical and wonderful. Best place ever really...\""|ep2d2_scarlet_moon_market_4_hedge]] [["\"Umm, in the third port-a-potty from the right.\""|ep2d2_scarlet_moon_market_4]] [["\"Third port-a-potty from the right.\""|ep2d2_scarlet_moon_market_4]]"Answer.

"It's umm, attached to the inside of the pit. There's a faint cord running along the wall." "Of course it is. Alright, I'll go get it. See you at the library." Juliana hung up. Scarlet Moon winced again. [[Head for the library.|ep2d2_scarlet_moon_market_1a]]When $she reached the library, $she lifted the top of a secret cubby $she'd made with Juliana's guidance a few weeks ago. $She lifted out a backpack with some clothing, and the same secret compartment as the one $she'd left in the port-a-potty. $name put $her costume into the backpack's secret compartment, and slid into a tiny alleyway between the library and a windowless building owned by Silver-Ant, ostensibly full of chemistry labs. $She circled around to the front of the library. A large, gradual staircase led up to the main entrance, peppered with columns and statues that invoked a vaguely greco-roman feel. $She didn't spy Juliana anywhere, so $she sat down on one of the steps and waited. $She didn't have to wait long before Juliana stepped off a bus and walked towards $name with long, rapid strides. Her skirt flapped with every step, showing off a bit of upper thigh. $name stood, a small smile touching $her lips. "Hey Juliana-" Juliana grabbed <<names>> shoulder, forced $herm around and began swatting the seat of $her $pants. [[Bend over and take your medicine.|ep2d2_library_submit]] [["\"Oww, what the hell?\""|ep2d2_library_protest]] [["\"Oww, look can't we talk about this somewhere else?\""|ep2d2_library_plead]]"Don't you dare talk back to me," Juliana grabbed $name's hair and bent $herm over, $her <<fat>> ass <<cheeky 'poking out from underneath' ' pressing against'>> $her $pants. "What you did was stupid, reckless, and could have gotten someone hurt." "Hey don't go blaming me. It's not my fault they were a bunch of panicky--oww!" $name bent $her knees away from Juliana as something small and wooden struck the <<cheeky 'bare skin exposed by' ' seat of'>> $her <<pantstype>>. Juliana peppered $name's bobbing bottom with the small hairbrush, leaving searing points of pain all over $name's <<cheeky 'slightly exposed' 'upthrust'>> buttocks. "You will answer my question, or you will say nothing." [["\"Screw this.\""|ep2d2_library_protest_1]] [["\"Nothing!\""|ep2d2_library_protest_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_library_protest_1]]$name jammed $her elbow up into Juliana's arm. "Oww!" Juliana's grip loosened, and $name wasted no time slipping out. $She took only a few steps before Juliana grabbed the <<pantsskirt 'waistband' ' hem'>> of $her <<pantstype>> and dragged $herm back. Juliana snagged $name's left arm, and pinned it between hers and $name's hips. She wrapped her arm around $name's waist, grabbed $name's right arm, pinned it against $name's <<bodytype 'non-existent; slender' ' flared' ' broad'>> hip, and bent $name over. $name struggled, but Juliana had $herm tight. $She couldn't break free without going scarlet. Not exactly an option. Juliana <<pantsskirt 'tugged' 'flipped'>> $name's <<pantstype>> <<pantsskirt 'down' 'over'>> $her <<bodytype 'narrow hips and flat bottom' 'slender hips and outthrust bottom' 'broad hips and protruding bottom' 'giant hips and voluminous bottom'>>. [["\"No! Leave my clothing alone.\""|ep2d2_library_protest_2]] [["\"Let me go you jerk!\""|ep2d2_library_protest_2]] [[Mewl in fear.|ep2d2_library_protest_2]]$name squirmed. $Her <<fat>> cheeks burst free of the $pants, <<baring 'completely unrestrained by' ' barely contained by'>> $her $underwear. Hot pain bloomed across $name's right cheek as the small hairbrush bit into $her <<baring 'bare' ' barely clad'>> flesh. A matching bloom unfolded in the middle of $her left cheek shortly after. Another just below the first on the right, then just above on the left. $name spied a small group about $her age who had stopped to watch, giggling and muttering to each other. $Her eyes raked the library, easily picking out others of a range of ages watching. "Let go of me! Or so help me-oww! Oww! Oww oww oww! Owwowwowwoww!" Juliana tightened her grip on $name and rapid fired the brush over every inch of $name's <<jiggly>>, bucking, blushing bottom. "I said let go of me you bitch!" A loud "OOh!" arose from much of the crowd. The paddling paused, replaced by the sound of Juliana pawing through her purse. Some sort of wrapping crinkled. She twisted around and shoved a bar of soap into $name's mouth. Slick suds coated $her tongue. [["\"RRgh!\""|ep2d2_library_protest_3]] [[Whimper.|ep2d2_library_protest_3]] [[Gag.|ep2d2_library_protest_3]]"If you remove that, I am going to take your <<pantstype>>, and you are going to go home with your bright red bottom hanging out for all the world to see." The hairbrush bit into $name's left sitspot, making the young $woman squeal against the soap. <<set $sore to $sore + 1>> [[Spit out the soap|ep2d2_library_soaping_spit_out]] [[Keep the soap in your mouth|ep2d2_library_keep_soap]]$name spat the soap out on the ground. "Fuck you." Another "Ooh" from the crowd. Juliana adjusted her grip a little. Cool fingers closed over the waistband of $name's <<female ' panties' 'underwear'>>, and tugged them down to $her knees. $name shuddered as a cool breeze wafted across $her exposed genitalia, and tickled the tender inner skin of $her crack. Juliana's wide hips swiveled against $name's as she drew back. Juliana unleashed all hell on $name's bottom. Each stroke struck $name's red hot bottom with a sharp *crack*, followed by a piercing shriek from $name. Tears started to flow freely down $her face, and $she squirmed frantically, $her legs kicking and stomping with every blow. The spanking went on, and on, and on. Crack-shriek, crack-shriek, crack-shriek. $name's panties coasted down to $her ankles. The brush bit into every inch of $her blazing, jumping, bouncing globes a dozen times over. [["Please stop. I can't take anymore, please!" |ep2d2_library_soaping_spit_out_1]] [["\"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!\""|ep2d2_library_soaping_spit_out_1]] [["\"Waaaah!\""|ep2d2_library_soaping_spit_out_1]]"Good." Juliana landed another dozen strokes, six to each cheek, making $name wail. "The next time I bend you over for a spanking you bend over and take it. Understand?" "Yes ma'am," mumbled $name. "Good." Juliana released $name. "Now pull your panties back up and remove your <<pantstype>>." $name morosely did as told. Juliana gathered up the $pants and shoved <<pantsskirt 'them' 'it'>> into the backpack. She took $name by the hair and guided $herm towards the bus stop. "Now we're going home. March." $name's flush deepened as $she watched all the passerbys take in $her tearstreaked face, bare legs, <<baring 'tiny' ' thin'>> $underwear and exposed, soundly spanked bottom. When they reached the bus stop, Juliana pointed at the bench. "Sit." $name sat, whimpering as $her scorched, naked cheeks pressed against the cold, hard wood. [[Hang your head and cry.|ep2d2_library_soaping_spit_out_2]] [[Glare sullenly into your lap.|ep2d2_library_soaping_spit_out_2]]When the bus arrived, Juliana grabbed $name by the hair, and pulled $herm up onto the bus. She paid the bus fare, and sat down in one of the first seats. "Grab the handle, and face out the front." Juliana pointed at the standing handle next to the seat she just sat in. $name took it and hung $her head, acutely conscious of $her bare bottom on display for the rest of the bus. The bus ride took forever, and when it finally stopped outside the lecture hall, Juliana took $name by the hair again, and pulled $herm off. The two walked the rest of the way to their dorm, about a quarter mile, if that. $name tried $her best to hide $her face and watch where $she was going at the same time. When they entered the dorm building, Sam stepped out of the RA's office to greet them. He looked $name up and down with a bemused expression. "Care to explain what happened?" "$name did something stupid," said Juliana. "It has been dealt with." "Is this something I need to know about? Are cops going to be busting down the door looking for $herm?" asked Sam. "No. It wasn't anything illegal. Just a private matter between friends." Juliana gave $name's hair a tug and guided $herm towards the elevator. "That's a hell of a private matter," muttered Sam. [["\"Juliana takes her gummy bears seriously.\""|ep2d2_library_soaping_spit_out_3]] [["\"Tell me about it.\""|ep2d2_library_soaping_spit_out_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_library_soaping_spit_out_3]]They reached the common room and found Vanessa sitting at the couch with some homework in her lap. She leapt to her feet when she saw Juliana and $name. "Holy crap, what happened?" "$name did something stupid, and resisted $her punishment." Juliana pushed $name towards $her room. "Now go to your room. We'll talk more later." "Yes ma'am." $name took a quick glance at Vanessa, and scurried for $her room. "Remind me never to piss you off," said Vanessa. $name entered $her room, and closed the door. $She yanked off $her panties, shoes and socks and tossed them into the corner. $She threw $herself onto $her bed with a wail and gingerly rubbed $her blazing bottom. <<set $sore to $sore + 1>> <<set $ep2d2_spat_out_soap to true>> [[Take a nap|ep2d2_scarlet_moon_market_talk]]For minute after endless minute after endless minute the small wooden brush bit into $name's naked cheeks, the dense wood making $name's bottom jiggle and wiggle. $Her hips gyrated, bumping repeatedly against Juliana's. $Her fingers dug into $her pumping knees. $She gagged against the slick soap, while bubbly drool ran down $her chin. Tears of pain flowed down $her face and mingled with the soapy spit. "I don't know what you were thinking, and frankly I don't care," said Juliana over the sound of $name's squealy-grunts and the sharp thwack of wood smacking bare bottom. "It's a border-line miracle nobody was seriously hurt. Next time you do as you're told. Understand?" $name nodded frantically and made what $she hoped were sufficiently affirmative grunts around the hideous soap. "Good. Now, let's really drive the lesson home, shall we?" Juliana tightened her grip on $name's waist and unleashed an avalanche of strokes first to $name's <<jiggly>> right cheek, then <<jiggly>> left. $name howled against the soap, very nearly spitting it out. $Her hips gyrated and bucked despite Juliana's firm grip. $She pounded $her feet against the concrete, and $her fingers dug into $her knees. Juliana released her hold on $name. "Make yourself decent again and let's go home." [["\"Yes ma'am.\""|ep2d2_library_keep_soap_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_library_keep_soap_1]]$name pulled $her $pants back <<pantsskirt 'up' ' down'>>, hopping and mewling as <<pantsskirt 'they' ' it'>> rubbed against $her swollen backside. The two snagged the next bus to campus, and rode home in silence. Every rough bounce sent $name's burning bottom into the air and smacking back down against the hard bus seat. $She mewled and squirmed every time. $Her blush deepened every time someone glanced at $her and looked away with a small smirk. Once they got home, $name fled into $her room, and threw $herself onto $her bed. $She pulled off $her $pants and buried $her face into $her pillow, sobbing and gingerly rubbing $her blazing bottom. <<set $sore to $sore + 1>> [[Take a nap|ep2d2_scarlet_moon_market_talk]]"No. I think we'll talk about it right here. Stick your butt out," said Juliana. "But-" Juliana grabbed $name's $hairstyle and sat down on the steps of the library, dragging $name down and across her lap as she went. "Oww, let go!" "Don't be ridiculous." Juliana grabbed the <<pantsskirt 'waistband' ' hem'>> of $name's $pants and pulled <<pantsskirt 'them down' ' it up'>> over $her <<bodytype 'slim; slender' ' flared' ' broad'>> waist. $name's face turned hot as $her <<fat>> bottom bounced free, now <<baring '"covered"' ' covered'>> only by $her $underwear. $She squirmed. "Come on, Juliana. Don't be like that." Juliana smacked $name's right cheek, <<baring 'left completely exposed' ' barely covered'>> by $her <<baring 'tiny' ' thin'>> $underwear. "Oww!" "What you did was reckless, dangerous, and frankly stupid," said Juliana. [["\"I was just trying to help.\""|ep2d2_library_plead_1]] [["\"Something weird was going on, I had to find out what!\""|ep2d2_library_plead_1]]"Well you didn't." Juliana's hand flashed between <<jiggly>> cheeks. $name moaned, and squirmed. $Her legs kicked. "What you did was like yelling 'Fire!' in a crowded theater," said Juliana. She <<baring ' unleashing a barrage of rapid-fire smacks to' ' pulled'>> $name's <<baring 'naked left cheek.' '$underwear down.'>> "Oww!" $name threw $her head back, and arched $her back. $Her legs straightened, and $her hands pressed against the marble steps. "...poor $girl..." "Hate to have a friend like that..." "Probably deserves it..." $name's face grew even hotter. $Her eyes jumped from one rubbernecker to another. [["\"Come on Juliana, this isn't fair-oww!\""|ep2d2_library_plead_2]] [["\"Stop it, I get it, I get it!\""|ep2d2_library_plead_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_library_plead_2]]"What part of 'you could've hurt somebody' don't you understand?" asked Juliana. "I know, I get it, I screwed up. I deserve a good, hard spanking.

There was a small "ooh" from the rubberneckers. $name groaned, and buried $her face in $her forearms. The back of the brush struck $name's <<fat>>, bare bottom with a loud *crack*. $name squealed into $her arms. $Her legs scissored. "Does it hurt?" asked Juliana. [["\"Nooo. It doesn't hurt at all.

Juliana tightened her grip on $name and really laid into the exposed bum upturned across her lap. $name didn't know how long it went on. All $she knew was that the hard wood struck $her <<fat>> bottom over, and over, and over again, spreading a horrific inferno across $her sensitive buttocks. "Please," said $name. "No more, no more. I'll be good." "When I tell you to wait, what do you do?" asked Juliana. "Wait!" "Good." Juliana put the hairbrush back. She patted $name's blazing bottom. "Come on now, let's get up and go home." $name pushed $herself to $her feet and gave $her burning bottom a vigorous rubbing. $She pulled $her $pants back <<pantsskirt 'up' ' down'>>. "I don't like doing that," said Juliana. [["\"Yeah, me neither.\""|ep2d2_library_plead_5]] [["\"I know.\""|ep2d2_library_plead_5]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_library_plead_5]]Juliana stood and gave $name a hug.

Let's go home." <<modifySore 1>> <<set $spankee to $spankee + 1>> <<include ep2d2_library_return_home>>$name put $her hands on $her knees and stuck $her butt out. "Good $girl," said Juliana. She <<pantsskirt 'tugged' ' flipped'>> $name's $pants <<pantsskirt 'halfway down' 'onto'>> $her <<pantsskirt 'thighs' 'back'>> to reveal a pair of jutting globes <<baring 'left utterly exposed' 'thinly covered'>> by $her $underwear. Juliana swatted $name's <<baring 'naked' 'almost naked'>> cheeks with her flat palm, flicking her wrist with every swat to add a bit of extra sting. $name spied a group of college students lounging on the stairs nearby. They watched $name's spanking with far too much interest for $name's taste, giggling and whispering amongst themselves. "What were you thinking?" asked Juliana, pitching her voice to be heard over the sharp slap of her palm striking $name's <<jiggly>> ass. "I told you to stay put." [["\"I just wanted to help, I didn't think--\""|ep2d2_library_submit_1]] [["\"I didn't think it would be a big deal--\""|ep2d2_library_submit_1]]"Obviously not," said Juliana. "You ever think that maybe I had a good reason for asking you to stay back?" "You could have told me," said $name, squirming as Juliana's palm heated $her bottom. Juliana hesitated. "Yes, I suppose I should have. Sorry." Juliana peppered $name's vulnerable cheeks with swift, stinging smacks. "But that doesn't change a thing. You still should have known better." $name yelped and wiggled beneath the onslaught, $her bottom <<jiggly>> and bobbing with every stroke. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll try not to let it happen again," said $name "You had better not," said Juliana, her voice strained with the effort of smacking $name's <<fat>> ass. $name wiggled and yelped. $Her hips bobbed, $her bottom <<jiggly>>, and $her fingers digging into $her knees. "Alright," said Juliana. "Stand up. Let's go home." $name stood and <<pantsskirt 'yanked' 'pushed'>> $her $pants back <<pantsskirt 'up' 'down'>>. <<set $spankee to $spankee + 1>> <<modifySore 1>> [["\"Oh no.

"If you'd taken five seconds to voice your concerns, I wouldn't have gone anywhere. But oh no, you thought you could just give me an order and run off. Well, I'm not your soldier and you're not my general." Juliana grimaced. She swayed her head thoughtfully. "Yeah, I guess you're right." Juliana turned around, put her hands on her knees and stuck her butt out. Her round orbs strained against her short skirt, a hint of curved cheek even peeking out from underneath the frilly fabric. $name flipped her skirt up to reveal a pair of large, round, caramel colored cheeks all-but-swallowing a purple thong. $name shook $her head. "Do you ever not wear a thong?" "Beats flashing all my secrets at people whenever someone decides I need a spanking," said Juliana. "Most people I've met are less interested in maximizing your humiliation than they are in making sure you feel it in the morning." "You know, that's a good point..." murmured one of the onlookers. <<set $spanker to $spanker + 1>> [[Pull down Juliana's thong|ep2d2_library_spank_pull_down]] [[Begin the spanking|ep2d2_library_spank_continue]]$name grabbed Juliana's thong and yanked it down to her knees.

Juliana hopped a little, her generous buttock rippling with the blow. "I'm not psychic you know," said $name. "I know it's hard with that big brain of yours, but sometimes you need to slow down and Comm. Un. I. Cate." $name punctuated each syllable of "communicate" with a hard smack to Juliana's plushy bottom, two to the left and two to the right. "I'm sorry alright?" Juliana's broad hips wiggled back and forth, her naked bottom quivering with the motion. "I was caught up in the moment." "So was I." $name spent the next five minutes or so giving Juliana a swift, sharp spanking, making Juliana's soft globes jiggle, quiver, and bob. Juliana wiggled and stomped her foot, small yelps slipping from her lips. $name knew that much of it was an act. $She had seen Juliana take far worse than a brief hand spanking. But Juliana hadn't spanked $herm that hard, not really. "Alright." $name stepped back. "Let's go home." Juliana made a big show of rubbing her bottom and pouted at $name. "Oh drop the act," said $name as they headed for the buses. "I've seen you take far worse than that." Juliana shrugged. "It still stung." [["\"So did mine.\""|ep2d2_library_return_home]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_library_return_home]]$name and Juliana returned home. $name went to $her room and collapsed onto $her bed, planning to lie there for five minutes, before starting some homework. Three minutes later, $she was asleep. <<include ep2d2_scarlet_moon_market_talk>>A faint knock roused $name from $her nap. $She shifted, and winced at the lingering burn that still suffused $her tender cheeks.

Juliana pulled out some lotion and gently rubbed it into $name's blazing bottom. $name sighed as the cool lotion took the edge off the burn. "You know I didn't like spanking you like that. But I had to make sure you never made that mistake again. Someone could have gotten hurt. Ok?" "So what, I'm supposed to just sit back and do nothing?" asked $name. "Obviously if a supervillain is being all supervillainy, you need to do something, but when we just have a suspicion? A hint that maybe something isn't right? In that case, I think we should keep Scarlet Moon in your backpack." "I guess," said $name. "Ok." Juliana stood. "I need to do some research about this Carmine lady.

Vanessa came out of the crowd and made a beeline for $name. Long, angry strides ate up the ground, and her fists were clenched at her side. Her brows were drawn down sharp against her narrowed eyes, and her entire jaw clenched. "Hey," said $name, putting $her phone away. "What's wrong?" "It's a scam," said Vanessa in a harsh voice. "What's a scam?" "It's that booth over there." Vanessa gestured vaguely towards the strange knot of people. "The lady behind it claims she's got some sort of miracle water that will cure anything, from cancer to persistent migraines and those people are eating it up. You've got sick, desperate people over there all clamoring for her lies." "Hey," barked a voice.

One was a tall, slender, brown-eyed brunette with long legs, small perky breasts, and a small, heart-shaped bottom. The other was a short, curvy brown-eyed blonde with big boobs, big ass, and thunder thighs. The tall, leggy one wore a t-shirt, light jacket, and a pair of black tights. The short, curvy one wore a similar outfit, except tight jeans rather than tights. "That's a load of BS what you just said," said the leggy one. "Ms. Carmine is a great woman. Big Pharma would charge 1000 times what she does, and she's helped thousands of families. Families hospitals don't care about, because they can't pay." "Oh really?" said Vanessa. "And what exactly has she done? Besides flash her ample chest at everyone." The leggy woman slapped Vanessa across the face. "Bitch watch your mouth!" $name's mouth dropped open. Vanessa tackled the woman. "I'll show you who's the bitch!" The leggy woman went down with a squawk, while her curvy friend jumped on Vanessa's back.

Curvy slid across a fruit stall, smashing and scattering apples in every direction. "Hey!" The farmer toppled over as he tried to evade Curvy's flailing arms. "You little demons!"

Leggy charged at Vanessa, but Vanessa caught the woman's wrists with one hand, swept the woman's legs out from under her with the other, and guided her across her friend's large thighs. The side of her pert bottom nestled against the undercurve of her friend's much rounder derriere. Vanessa swatted the four helpless mounds, Leggy's bouncing visibly beneath her thin, painted-on tights. Curvy's jeans kept her bottom from bouncing (mostly), but her squeals made it abundantly clear that they stung nonetheless. "What is going on here?" barked an authoritative voice. A police officer pushed through the crowd, and stood over Vanessa, her hands on her hips.

SNAP! Vanessa grunted. The belt snapped another half a dozen times. Vanessa whimpered and bobbed her bottom. $name gnawed on $her lower lip, $her knees quivering. "What were you <<female 'girls' 'kids'>> thinking?" asked the cop. The boots clomped back and forth. "This is a market, a place of fun and festivals, not cussing and brawls. You have a disagreement, you talk about it. Get me?" "Yes ma'am," said the four in unison. SNAP! Leggy squeaked. The belt snapped six more times. Leggy shook her head, her long tresses flying out around her. Her knees buckled, and her bottom jumped up and down. [[Quietly: "Not me next, not me next, not me next..."|ep2d2_market_police_help_1a]] [[Whimper.|ep2d2_market_police_help_1a]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_market_police_help_1a]]"Good." The cop's boots resumed their clomping. "We live in a stable, free democracy. And in stable, free democracies, violence solves nothing. You understand? We solve our problems by talking about them, *not* by pulling hair." "Then why do you carry a stunner?" asked Vanessa. $name sucked in a breath. "I'm the reason you don't need violence." The boots clomped back and forth. SNAP! Curvy howled and wiggled her hips so vigorously she bumped into and nearly knocked $name over. The belt snapped across Curvy's big bottom over and over again. Curvy tried to stand, but the cop grabbed the back of the girl's neck and pushed her back over. The belt struck Curvy's bottom with swift crisp snaps. Curvy kicked and squirmed, wailing and howling. The belt descended faster and harder. Soon, Curvy was sobbing, pleading the officer to stop. "Then don't get into any fights," said the cop. "Or at least take your licks like a big girl." The boots clomped behind $name. $She struggled to keep $her breathing steady. $Her bottom clenched and unclenched, waiting, waiting, waiting- [[Quietly: "Oh God, oh God..."|ep2d2_market_police_help_2]] [["\"Please, officer I'm sorry I've learned my lesson, honest!\""|ep2d2_market_police_help_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_market_police_help_2]]SNAP! <<if $ep2d2MarketBrawlSpanked>> <<include 'ep2d2_market_police_help_spanked'>> <<else>> <<include 'ep2d2_market_police_help_1'>> <</if>> <<set $spankee to $spankee + 1>> <<modifySore 1>>$name threw $her head back and howled. Between the lingering sting from $her spanking at Curvy's hand, and the many strokes the cop had already laid across $her <<fat>> buttocks, this was too much. $She started to stand, but a firm hand gripped the back of $her neck and forced $herm back over. "Hold your position brat," said the cop. The belt rapid-fired up and down $name's blazing cheeks. Like *that* was going to happen. $name kicked and bucked and flailed and wiggled so vigorously, $she lost $her balance and started to fall. Hands gripped $her shoulder, and the next thing $she knew, $her face was pressed against the asphalt, a knee was digging into $her gut, and the belt was walloping $her naked, upthrust bottom. $name bucked and kicked and howled. Tears streamed down $her face. $She tried to reach back to shield $her blazing bottom, but strong fingers gripped $her wrists and pinned them to $her back. And the belting continued. And continued.

"Now, get your naughty butts covered, and don't even *think* of making a scene like that again, or I'll put you over my knee... and well... you all just saw what *that*'s like now didn't you?"

The police officer wore a standard police uniform and hat that seemed specially tailored to make her as intimidating as possible. The freckles speckling her nose and cheeks only slightly detracted from the aura of intimidation. A hint of raven hair peeked out from underneath her cap. "She started it!" Leggy pointed a finger at Vanessa. "Me?" Vanessa jabbed her finger at Leggy. "You slapped me!" "Alright kids--" "Because you called Ms. Carmine a charlatan-" "She is!" "If you would both calm down--" "And then you tackled me! I could have cracked my skull open!" "Please. Your skull is far too thick--" The police officer grabbed Vanessa and began swatting her bubble butt. Vanessa yelped and danced in place, her bottom bouncing very visibly beneath her tight jeans.

The three girls blanched in sync. Vanessa turned around and fumbled with her jean snap. "But it's not my fault," said Curvy, stomping her foot. "My friend was being assaulted! I had to help her." The police officer doubled the belt over, and snapped the two straps together. She raised a single eyebrow. Vanessa pushed her jeans down to her ankles and touched her toes. Her large, firm bottom rounded, bursting out of a pair of lacy white panties that covered the top third of her pale bottom, and not much else. "Ohh, just do as she says." Leggy stepped up next to Vanessa, and shot her a hot glare. She rolled her tights down to her knees, revealing a pert white bottom now clad only in a light-blue g-string. She put her hands on her knees, arched her back, and stuck her tanned mounds out. "You're gonna get your seat toasted anyway." [["\"That's definitely a squealer.\""|ep2d2_market_police_watch_1]] [["\"Lesson learned: Don't join a fight.\""|ep2d2_market_police_watch_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_market_police_watch_1]]"Ohhh!" Curvy stomped her foot. She hurried over to stand next to her friend. A bright red blush suffused her cheeks as she turned around and shimmied her jeans down to her knees. Her large bottom bounced into view, thoroughly unconstrained by the white thong nestled between her voluminous cheeks. She bent over and put her hands on her knees, mimicking Leggy's posture. The police officer rolled her eyes. "Kids these days and their barely-there panties." $name pursed $her lips. The police officer didn't look that much older than them. Maybe five years. The officer stepped up next to the three, slapping the belt against her thigh with each step. Curvy whimpered, and Leggy shifted from one foot to the other. Vanessa remained still, her eyes fixed on a point in front of her feet. The police officer drew the belt back, and whipped it across Curvy's voluptuous cheeks. The soft mounds jiggled mightily, and Curvy hopped up onto her toes with a squeal. "Since you took so long to get in position, you get the first volley." The police officer put a hand on the girl's lower back and whipped the belt across the doughy mounds with vigor. The girl squealed and bucked beneath the barrage. The officer spent a solid twenty seconds belting Curvy's bobbing bottom, criss-crossing it with belt-shaped welts. [["\"Yup. Definitely a squirmer.\""|ep2d2_market_police_watch_2]] [[Grin wickedly.|ep2d2_market_police_watch_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_market_police_watch_2]]The officer walked around to the other side of Leggy and put her hand on the small of Leggy's back. The belt arced through the air and whipped Leggy's petite bottom so quickly $name could barely see it. Leggy howled and started to straighten. The officer grabbed Leggy by the hair and pushed her back over. "Oh take a breath." The officer shook her head and lashed the girll's tanned bottom, eliciting more howls. "It's not like I'm tazing you." Another twenty seconds of vigorous belting followed, each stroke leaving a bright red mark on pale bottom or thigh. The officer released her grip on Leggy's hair, and walked around to Vanessa's side. She put her hand on the small of Vanessa's back, and cut her belt across Vanessa's generous orbs. Vanessa's bum flattened beneath the blow, before bounced back into position. Vanessa grunted, but otherwise didn't react. A red welt formed across both cheeks. "Finally," said the officer. "Someone who can take her licks." The officer removed her hand from Vanessa's back, and gave her the same twenty seconds of vigorous strokes she gave the other two. Though Vanessa's mostly bare bottom bounced beneath the thick belt, Vanessa herself did not move. Except for a few grunts, she didn't make a sound either. [["\"Wow.

She folded her arms behind her, and paced in front of the three welted bottoms. "I will not tolerate any sort of violence on my watch, understand?" The officer punctuated the question with a yelp-inducing stroke across Curvy's quivering cheeks. "This is Generica City, and in Generica City we solve our problems with words, not fists." The officer lashed Leggy, then Vanessa, then Leggy again, then Curvy. Leggy and Curvy squealed and squirmed, while Vanessa remained rock still and silent. The officer put her hand on the small of Curvy's back and unleashed another twenty-second volley, her hips rotating with each powerful stroke. Curvy wiggled and howled as her bottom jumped and shuddered beneath the stinging leather. Curvy's knees bent and locked, bent and locked, making her bottom sway and bob. That didn't seem to slow the officer though, who demonstrated an almost uncanny ability to land each stroke across Curvy's rapidly reddening globes. "Please, I'm sorry I won't do it again, I won't I won't." Curvy's wailing voice cut through the murmur of the farmer's market, briefly drawing the attention of the crowd still clustered around the Megawater booth. "Good." The officer gave Curvy's thighs four vicious licks that made the girla wail even louder. She turned her attention to Leggy. [["\"Yeouch, that looks like it stings.\""|ep2d2_market_police_watch_4]] [["\"Hmm, hope I don't look like that when I'm getting it. It's embarassing.\""|ep2d2_market_police_watch_4]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_market_police_watch_4]]"I won't do it either-oww!" Leggy yelped and bucked her bottom as the belt bit once more into her poorly padded bottom. "I should hope not." The belt very nearly seemed to whistle as it cut the air and snapped across Leggy's pert bottom. Over and over again the thick leather licked Leggy's bottom and the tops of her thighs, leaving ember trails across her skin. Leggy's wails devolved into sobs by the time the officer stepped back from her. The officer stepped up next to Vanessa. "And you?" "I was stupid," said Vanessa quietly. "I'll try not to be stupid again." "Good." Thus began twenty seconds of snapping leather, bouncing bottom, and nothing more. Though the belt whipped the air and cut across the firm, expansive bottom with eye-watering force, Vanessa kept still and silent as a statue. "Alright." The officer took a step back and threaded her belt back through her belt loops. "I'd better not catch any of you three brawling with anyone again, or you'll get a licking that'll make this one look like a lover's massage. Clear?" "Yes ma'am," said the three in unison as they pulled their pants back up and rubbed their bottoms. Curvy and Leggy scampered off into the crowd. Vanessa hobbled over to $name, rubbing her bottom and wincing. The officer smiled at everyone, and resumed her patrol. [["\"So, how did it go?\""|ep2d2_market_police_watch_5]] [["\"You doing ok?\""|ep2d2_market_police_watch_5]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_market_police_watch_5]]"God, that officer knows how to use a belt," said Vanessa. She frowned at $name. "Thanks for backing me up by the way." $name shrugged. "Can you blame me?" Vanessa sighed. "No, I guess not. Not with a demon like that on patrol." <<include 'ep2d2_market_juliana_returned'>>Juliana emerged from the crowd still clustered around the Megawater booth. "Vanessa, you surprise me. You never struck me as the kind to get in public brawls." Vanessa shrugged. "I know. I just I hate snake oil salesmen. Hate em, hate em, hate em. Then that snot slapped me." "Interesting that she'd be so quick to violence," said Juliana, looking off in the direction of Leggy and Curvy. "Some people are dicks," said Vanessa. "Can we go now? Think I've had enough of this place." "Yeah," said Juliana thoughtfully. "I got some homework to do anyway." [[Groan. "Me too. Too much."|ep2d2_return_home]] [["\"Bah! Homework is for the weak.\""|ep2d2_return_home]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_return_home]]The trio returned home, and went off to their various rooms. "Don't forget your first day of work is tonight," said Vanessa. "See you this evening about 5?" [["\"Sure.\""|ep2d2_post_market]] [[Groan. "Completely forgot. So much for catching up on homework."|ep2d2_post_market]] [[Nod.|ep2d2_post_market]]Later, $name lay on $her bed, trying to study math. A knock came at the door. "Door's open." Juliana came in, her tablet tucked under one arm. She closed the door and sat down on the bed next to $name. "Been doing some research on that Megawater lady, and the robbery last night." "Oh god, here comes the infodump." $name groaned, and shifted around to better pay attention. "I think we've got a new supervillain in town." Juliana tapped her tablet screen, and a website straight out of the teens came up. "And she has a terrible website. 90MB and 64 HTTP requests just to load the damn homepage." "Is that her power? Awful web design?" asked $name. "If only," said Juliana. "I think she has some sort of mental powers. I think she's using them to peddle snake oil and get back at old enemies from high school." "Umm?" <<if $ep2d1_spanked_robbers>> <<include 'ep2d2_post_market_spanked_robbers'>> <<else>> <<include 'ep2d2_post_market_robbers'>> <</if>>"Remember how the robbers suddenly got all confused and terrified while you were spanking them?

"The owner of Megawater is one Melissa Carmine. Apparently, her high school had a 10 year reunion last night. Quite the ritzy high school too. A private school attended by children of successful businessmen and politicians, mostly from the area. All three of the robbers were at the reunion before leaving early. Today we have a crowd full of people who were acting hella strange around a booth manned by Ms. Carmine. They all seemed to be acting like they had heads stuffed with cotton. I questioned Ms. Carmine about the water. She got very visibly annoyed, and so did the crowd." <<if $ep2d2_investigate_market>> <<include 'ep2d2_succubus_infodump_scarlet_moon'>> <<else>> <<include 'ep2d2_succubus_infodump_wait'>> <</if>>"And when I showed up, I probably scared her." $name reached back and rubbed $her throbbing bottom. $She shifted and whimpered. "And when she panicked, so did everyone she had a mental grip on," said Juliana. "And I'll bet she lost control of them. So one minute, they're all standing around wrapped in cotton, then suddenly everything is painfully, startlingly clear. The only thing they really knew is that they were scared and needed to get out of there." "Or she made them panic on purpose," said $name. "As a smokescreen." Juliana considered for a moment. "It's possible, though I'm not convinced she had that much control over them. I saw too many flashes of clarity." [["\"Well, if we're fighting a mind control villain, least it's an incompetent one.\""|ep2d2_succubus_infodump_now_what]] [["\"Here's hoping she hasn't fried anyone's brain.\""|ep2d2_succubus_infodump_now_what]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_succubus_infodump_now_what]]"And suddenly a couple of random strangers are willing to pick a fight with Vanessa," said $name.

The office had a nondescript store-front with a cheap looking "Megawater" sign plastered above a pair of sliding glass doors. Juliana studied the storefront through a pair of binoculars. She lowered the binoculars and raised a USB drive, her face breaking into an eager grin. "I have here a virus that I finished up last night that'll give me root access. The trick is getting it onto Carmine's computer. We could I guess try to get her to click on a shady e-mail attachment, but I'd rather not assume she's that dumb.

Juliana widened her eyes innocently. "But don't you want to safeguard the city from superpowered charlatans?" $name grimaced. "Don't give me that look. Every time I 'distract' somebody it ends with a strap kissing my bum." "Which is a great distraction," said Juliana. "Really, you're a natural." $name <<sore 'scowled. "Sorry, my ass has been thrashed enough for one day."' ' scowled.'>> "Pleeease?" said Juliana. $name crossed $her arms over $her chest. "Look, we need evidence that this chick is an evil mind-manipulating supervillain. Scarlet Moon can't exactly bust down the door and start beaming everything in sight until we have that evidence," said Juliana. "So sneak in, pop the drive in, and get out," said $name. "Way too risky. She could be sitting in her office right now. And even if she isn't, she could come back at any time. Not only do we not get the magic virus on her computer, but at best one of us will go home with a throbbing ass.

You do have your phone set up for an actual ring right?" $name made a quick adjustment to $her ringer. "Now I do." "Alright, let's do this." [["\"Yeah.

The foyer was empty save for a cute blonde in her early twenties and a few chairs along the wall. The woman looked up from her computer and opened her mouth to say something. She hunched over her keyboard, her fingers flying across the keys. $name walked up to the counter. "Good afternoon." The woman looked up and grinned. "Hello, and welcome to Megawaters, home of the super-awesomely-awesome cure-all of awesomeness. How can I help you today?" "Hello. I've heard lots of great things about Megawaters from a friend of mine who attended your booth at the farmer's market. I was wondering if I could try a sample or something." By the time $name finished, the woman was once more hunched over her computer, fingers flying. $name cleared $her throat. The woman looked up and grinned. "Hello, and welcome to Megawaters, home of the super-awesomely-awesome cure-all of awesomeness. How can I help you today?" [["\"Didn't you just ask that?\""|ep2d2_megawater_headquarters_scarlette_distraction_1]] [["\"Well, I was--\""|ep2d2_megawater_headquarters_scarlette_distraction_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_megawater_headquarters_scarlette_distraction_1]]"How can I help you today?"

"Well, I've heard lots of great things about Megawater, and I was wondering if I could try a sample." The woman looked up from her computer. "Hello, and welcome to Megawaters, home of the super-awesomely-awesome cure-all of awesomeness. How can I help you today?" "I'd like to try a sample." "Of course." The woman pushed a button on her desk phone. "I have a potential customer here. $She'd like to try a sample." "Oh wonderful, I'll be right out," said a silky smooth voice from the phone's speaker. The receptionist turned her toothy grin back on $name. "She'll be right out." "Thank-" The receptionist was already hunched over her computer, typing furiously. $name pulled out $her phone and set it up to text Juliana, $her thumb hovering over the send button. A woman stepped out from the back. "Hello, my name is Melissa Carmine. How can I help you today?" [[Quietly: "Here goes nothing."|ep2d2_megawater_headquarters_scarlette_distraction_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_megawater_headquarters_scarlette_distraction_2]]$name pushed the send button and slipped $her phone back into $her pocket. Melissa Carmine was beautiful. She had silky raven hair pulled up into a french braid, the tail pulled over one shoulder. Her dark eyes, framed by a touch of makeup, smoldered. Her ruby red lips formed a dazzling smile, exposing brilliant white teeth. Her skin had just a touch of color to it, not so much that she seemed to spend all day in a tanning booth, but not so little that she seemed to spend all day in front of a computer either. Small, sparkling white earrings dangled from her ears. She wore a low-cut, square-necked white blouse that showed off the top of some very ample cleavage, a black pencil skirt that emphasized the generous curve of her hips, and shiny black pumps. "I suffer from daily migraines," said $name. "Dozens of pills and thousands of dollars later I got squat and the doctors are laughing all the way to the bank." Melissa walked to a cooler behind the desk, her hips swaying with every step. "Say no more, and feel no shame. I too was once trapped in the web of Big Pharma and their medicinal minions. Then, I discovered Megawater!" Melissa opened the cooler and pulled out a water bottle. She held it up for $name to see. "Behold, Megawater!" "Looks like a regular water bottle to me, except with bold red 'Megawater' painted across it," said $name. "Trust me, the magic's in the water, not the bottle." Melissa swayed to the counter and passed the bottle to $name. "Go ahead and have a drink. I guarantee it'll change your life." [["\"Well, here goes nothing.\""|ep2d2_megawater_headquarters_scarlette_distraction_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_megawater_headquarters_scarlette_distraction_3]]$name took the bottle with a smile. $She closed $her eyes, tipped $her head back and started to drink. The water tasted like tap water. Something pressed against $her head, something cold and slimy. A pool of warmth formed deep inside $her head and pressed against the icy tendrils trying to burrow their way into $her skull. It felt reminiscient of what $she'd felt at the farmer's market, but way more focused. How long before Carmine realized $name was putting up way too strong a resistance? Did she know already? [[Spit the water out all over Carmine|ep2d2_megawater_spit]] [["\"That was amazing!\""|ep2d2_megawater_amazing]]$name leaned forward and spat the water all over Melissa. Melissa backed up a few steps, her eyes going wide. "Urg! Blegh! Ugh!" $name set the water bottle down hard enough to send water sploshing every which way. $She pawed at $her tongue with $her fingers. "That was foul! It tasted like post-poop monkey butt!" Melissa carefully reached up and wiped her hand across her face. She looked down at her hand, then up at $name, a look of complete and utter confusion on her face. $name smiled sheepishly and shrugged. "I can't stand the taste of medicine." Melissa's confusion melted into a vicious scowl. "So? That doesn't mean you can just spit it out all over me! That's disgusting. And you think making Megawater is cheap? Miracle cures don't come easy!" [["\"Sorry. It just sort of happened.\""|ep2d2_megawater_spit_apologize]] [["\"Maybe next time put some flavoring in that piss!\""|ep2d2_megawater_spit_rude]] [["\"I think it's time to leave. Bye now.\""|ep2d2_megawater_spit_leave]]Melissa put her hands on her hips. "You think that makes it better? I'm a small business owner! I'm working on a shoestring budget with razor thin profit margins. I can't afford to have people spitting my merchandise all over my face." Despite her sharp, clipped words, Melissa's voice never rose. "Now bend over the counter." $name bent over the counter and arched $her back, sticking $her <<fat>> bottom out behind $herm. Wait a minute. What was $she doing? A little water to the face was the least Melissa deserved. Melissa walked around the edge of the counter, her heels clapping angrily against the tile. <<set $spankee to $spankee + 1>> <<modifySore 1>> [[Remain in position|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking]] [["\"Like hell.

"Why you little--" $name skidded to a stop at the door and reached for the handle. Iron fingers latched onto $her hair and yanked $herm back a step. A flat palm struck <<cheeky 'the bare skin peeking out from underneath.' 'the seat of $her $pants once, twice, three times.'>> $name yelped. $She grabbed the fingers holding $her hair with one hand, and tried to shield $her bum with the other. Melissa dragged $name back to the counter, swatting $her <<cheeky 'slightly exposed' ''>> buttocks with every step. She bent $name over the counter. "And stay there." <<set $spankee to $spankee + 1>> <<modifySore 1>> [[Remain in position|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking]] [["\"Like hell. Not only did that crap taste foul, but it didn't help my head at all!\""|ep2d2_megawater_spit_resist]]"Fetch me the tawse," said Melissa. The secretary squeaked and opened a drawer underneath the counter. She pulled out a long black leather strap with a split end. Melissa grabbed the <<pantsskirt 'waistband' ' hem'>> of $name's $pants and <<pantsskirt 'tugged them down' ' yanked it over'>> $name's <<fat>> bottom and hips. $name shivered a little as the air-conditioned office air brushed against $her bottom, $her <<baring 'teeny tiny underwear doing nothing to keep' ' underwear doing little to keep'>> $her <<baring 'exposed' ' barely covered'>> cheeks warm. [["\"The customer service here is atrocious.\""|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking_1]] [["\"Whatever happened to 'the customer is always right?'\""|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking_1]] [["\"You know, spanking your customers can't be good for business.\""|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking_1]]"But you're not my customer." Melissa took the tawse with her right hand, while her left clamped down on the small of $name's back. She whipped the leather strap across $name's <<baring 'bare' ' thinly-clad'>> cheeks, the harsh snap bouncing around the office. "You're a rude little brat!" $name squealed, and rocked $her hips as a red-hot explosion bloomed across $her bottom. "I'm going to tell all my friends that you're a scam!" "You can tell them whatever you like." Melissa somehow managed to pitch her voice above the sharp slap of leather to bum, while maintaining a calm, confident tone. "I can't imagine that your friends could possibly be any better behaved than you." Melissa lashed $name's <<fat>> cheeks three times in rapid succession. The thin tips of the tawse's split end stung $name's <<bodytype 'slight;pert' 'fleshy' 'thick'>> buttocks, while the tawse's thick leather body left molten rivers across $her sensitive skin. Tears formed at the corners of $name's eyes, and $her hips rocked madly back and forth. "Hold still." Melissa snapped the tawse twice across $name's sensitive thighs. $name squealed and stood up, $her hands flashing back to cup $her blazing thighs. "Hold $herm down!" The secretary reached over the desk and grabbed $name by the hair. She pulled $name back over the counter, and pressed her other hand between the $girl's shoulder blades. [["\"Let me go you harlot!\""|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking_2]] [["\"Wait, stop please I'm sorry!\""|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking_2]] [[Kick your legs.|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking_2]]Melissa whipped the tawse across $name's burning sitspots four times in rapid succession. "Hold still. Or I will tie you down." $name whined and sucked $her ass in tight against the counter. "And stick your ass out." Melissa punctuated the command with a stroke across the center of $name's backside. "God, kids these days. When I was your age, I could take a strapping like this without making a peep." $name stuck $her ass out. Juliana had better appreciate this. The strap rained down on $name's proffered bottom, the sharp crack buffeting $her ears. $name yelped, and $her hips rocked madly back and forth. The tawse snapped across $her thighs, making $herm howl. It returned to $her bottom, sending lines of fire racing across $her <<baring 'naked' 'almost-naked'>> cheeks. $Her hips rocked again. The tawse snapped across $her thighs. [["\"Augh! No, not there please!\""|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking_3]] [["\"Owwwww!\""|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking_3]]"Hush $girl, or I'll hit you there again." Melissa laid into $name's <<bodytype 'small;perky' 'curvy' 'voluminous'>> cheeks, making them <<fitness 'wobble madly' 'bounce and bob' 'twitch and shake'>>. $name clamped $her teeth together, pushed $her feet together, and locked $her knees. $She pressed $her forehead against the counter, closed $her eyes and focused solely on not moving $her hips, no matter how much the leather stung. $Her phone rang three times. "I hope they don't mind waiting another few minutes." Melissa walked around to $name's left, and switched hands. $She resumed the strapping, the whippy split-tip leaving pinpricks of fire on $name's right cheek. Each stroke pushed $name's <<fat>> bottom forward a little, the pauses between just enough for $name to push $her bottom out for the next. [[Whimper and mewl.|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking_4]] [["\"Ohhh God it burns! Stop, please stop!\""|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking_4]] [["\"Err-oww!--you--oww!--fuck--owww!\""|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking_4]]The strapping stopped. The secretary released $name and returned to her seat. Melissa grabbed $herm by the hair, and forced $name to stand. "If I ever see your fat ass in my shop again, I will beat you until my tawse falls apart. Then I'll buy a new one, and beat you with that one for ruining the first." Melissa dragged $name to the door and threw $herm out. $name stumbled, and barely caught $her balance before faceplanting. $She wiped some tears from $her eyes, and covered $herself. "Holy crap $name." Juliana came out of nowhere and peeked around at $name's bottom. "That looks like it hurts." [["\"Shut up. I swear to god Juliana, that had better been worth it.\""|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking_5]] [["\"Not. One. More. Word.\""|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking_5]] [[Growl.|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking_5]]"Relax." Juliana put a hand on $name's back and guided $herm back to the car. "Everything went smooth as ice on my side. When we get back, I'll rub some cream into your bottom, and a few weeks from now, when little Miss Con Artist back there is behind bars, we'll laugh about this." "No you'll laugh about this," said $name, wincing with every step. $She tried to rub the sting out of $her seat. "I'm going to plot revenge." "Against her or me?" asked Juliana as she got in the car. "Yes." $name yanked open $her door and plopped down in $her seat. $She yipped, and pushed $her ass up. $She shot a hot glare at Juliana, whose lips twitched. "I swear to God if you so much as grin, I will bend you over the hood of your car and smack your naked ass in broad daylight." Juliana turned on the car, and started to back up. "That's what I thought." <<modifySore 1>> <<set $melissa_spanking to true>> <<include ep2d2_post_megawater_headquarters>>$name straightened. $She pivoted on $her heel and walked towards the door. "What are you--how--get back here!" Melissa's heels clacked angrily against the linoleum. $name slowed as a massive, invisible vice squeezed $her skull. Strong fingers closed around $name's hair, while a flat palm whapped <<cheeky 'the bits of lower bottom exposed by' ' the seat of'>> $her $pants. "Ow, hey let go!" $name reached back and grabbed the fingers tangled in $her hair. "I don't think so." Melissa dragged $name back towards the counter with shocking ease, popping $name's bottom with every step. "Not after you spit all over me, wasted product, and insulted me." Melissa forced $name back over the counter. [["\"Oww! Let go of me lady!\""|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking]] [["\"Maybe if your medicine actually worked, I wouldn't spit it in your face!\""|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_megawater_spit_spanking]]Melissa grinned a sharklike grin. "I'm so glad you think so. A week's supply can be yours for a mere $50." $name nearly choked. "I'm sorry, I'd really love to, I mean, my head's never been this good. I just, I don't have that kind of money. Broke college student you know?" Melissa patted $name on the hand. "Don't worry. I know what it's like to be just barely scraping by. Fortunately, I have a student discount: $25 for a week's supply." $name frowned, and shifted from foot to foot. One hand went into $her <<female ' purse' 'pocket'>> and fiddled with $her phone. "Is something wrong?" asked Melissa, her smile fading into a look of concern. $name shrugged uneasily, and glanced out the window behind $herm. [["\"Oh, I don't know...\""|ep2d2_megawater_amazing_1b]] [["\"No, I'm fine.\""|ep2d2_megawater_amazing_1b]] [[Shrug.|ep2d2_megawater_amazing_1b]]"Come on, you can talk to me." Melissa gave $name a winning smile. "You can tell me anything." $name closed $her eyes and took a deep breath (using the opportunity to fight off a wave of trust). Once the wave faded a little, $she opened $her eyes and stared down at $her hands. "It's just, my boyfriend and I have an agreement. No spending more than $20 at once without talking to the other about it first. If one of us breaks it..." $name shifted $her weight, and set down the water bottle. $She reached back and rubbed the seat of $her $pants. "Well, I guess, let's just say that we own a very mean paddle. But I'm sure if I talk to him about it--" "He probably won't believe you." Melissa shook her head sadly. "Life has hurt so many people so badly that most don't believe there can be such a thing as a panacea." "Yeah, I thought so too." $name smiled ruefully. "Fortunately, I have a friend who refuses to let life break her." "And you are truly lucky to have such a friend. How about this. For $20, I'll give you a week's worth just this once. Take it, use it, show him the difference. Let him see what you're like when you're not in continuous pain. Then bring him here, and we'll see if we can convince him." $name considered for a moment. $Her phone rang three times. $She took a minute to check the caller: Juliana. $She looked up at Melissa and grinned. "That was my friend. She's here to pick me up. I think that sounds like a great idea." $name slapped down $20. [["\"I'll take it.\""|ep2d2_megawater_amazing_1a]] [[Smile.|ep2d2_megawater_amazing_1a]]The twenty dollar bill vanished, and Melissa swayed back to the cooler. She pulled out six small water bottles, and brought them to the desk. "Drink one of these each day, half in the morning and half at night. When you've run out, come and see me!" "Ok." $name scooped the water into $her arms, and left. "Have a nice day." $name was about halfway back to the car when Juliana came around the bread shop next to Megawater. Her eyes lit up when she saw $name. "Is that some Megawater?" asked Juliana, carefully taking three of the bottles from $name. "Yup. She tried to charge me fifty, but I managed to bluff her down to twenty. Still a rip off probably." "Probably." Juliana led the way back to the car, and popped the trunk. "But now I can study this stuff while you're at work. Make sure it is a scam. After all, in a world of steel-cutting hair and magical forcefields, who says a miracle cure is impossible?" $name unloaded $her bottles into the trunk, and got into the car. "I didn't even get spanked this time." "I think we can declare 'Flawless Victory!'" said Juliana. <<set $ep2_take_water to true>> [["\"Heck yeah. Go team Scarlet Moon!\""|ep2d2_post_megawater_headquarters]] [["\"Indeed.\""|ep2d2_post_megawater_headquarters]] [[Nod.|ep2d2_post_megawater_headquarters]]"Oh fine. Call me for three rings when you've finished. I'll send you a text message when I've drawn Carmine into the main foyer." Juliana opened her cardoor. "Let's do this." While Juliana walked towards the Megawater entrance, $name walked around behind the strip. $She took a quick glance around. Unfortunately, there was a Mega-Mart with a busy parking lot behind $herm. No crawling through windows. $Her phone buzzed with a single letter text message from Juliana. $name pulled out $her copy of their fathers' house key, and pressed it against the lock. $She positioned $her body to block the view of anyone in the parking lot. $She tried the door. The doorknob turned, but the door didn't budge. Deadlock. $name created a wafer of scarlet force, and slipped it into the door crack. $She slid the force down until it encountered resistance. $She slid it along what was surely the deadbolt, until it slipped down again. $name ever so carefully pushed on the deadbolt with the wafer of force, making it slide back into the door. $She eased the door open. [["\"Man, is there anything these powers can't do?\""|ep2d2_megawater_headquarters_juliana_distraction_1]] [["\"Feel kinda dirty, but whatever. Gotta do what you gotta do.\""|ep2d2_megawater_headquarters_juliana_distraction_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_megawater_headquarters_juliana_distraction_1]]The door opened into a hallway space with two doors on either side, and a door at the far end. $name could make out Juliana's singsong voice and another silky murmur from the far door. $name tried the left door. Janitor's closet. The right door opened into a small office with a cluttered desk and a laptop of some kind or other. As $name entered the office, a flurry of sharp smacks erupted from the front office intermingled with Juliana's high-pitched yelps. $name smirked. $She plugged the drive into the laptop's USB port. The Ubuntu login screen appeared. The smacks stopped, and $name froze. They resumed shortly, only now it was the much sharper snap of leather against bare skin. Juliana's yelps rose in pitch and volume. While waiting for the virus to finish, $name did a quick search of the room. $She didn't find anything interesting, save a small black book in one of the drawers. $name cracked it open. It appeared to be some sort of ledger filled with financial information and other sundry notes. There might be something juicy in there, but $name had neither the expertise nor the time to search through it. <<set $ep2_juliana_distraction to true>> [[Take the book.|ep2d2_take_book]] [[Leave the book.|ep2d2_leave_book]]$name slipped the book into $her <<female ' purse' 'pocket'>>. <<set $ep2tookbook to true>> <<include ep2d2_sneak_out>>$name paced about the office to the rhythm set by the sounds of the strapping still going on in the foyer. <<include ep2d2_sneak_out>>A small pop up appeared on the login screen with the words "Done!" $name pulled out the USB drive, and slipped it into $her <<female ' purse' 'pocket'>>. The strapping had picked up dramatically, and between the sharp crack of leather and Juliana's shrieks, $name could have sung the YMCA without anyone noticing. $name paused a moment next to the exit, listening to Juliana's sound strapping. Served her right for trying to put $name in that position instead. $She slipped out and closed the door. With a little bit of finangling, $she managed to reseal the deadbolt from the outside, and called Juliana on $her way back to the car. Juliana hobbled out a few minutes later. She clutched the seat of her skirt, and her makeup was marred by tears. Still, she grinned when she saw $name. "Everything went well?" [["\"Near as I could tell. A popup came up with 'Done' anyway.\""|ep2d2_sneak_out_1]] [[Nod.|ep2d2_sneak_out_1]]Juliana rubbed her hands together. "Perfect. I now have sudo access on Melissa's machine." The two got in the car (Juliana much more gingerly than $name). <<if $ep2tookbook>> <<include 'ep2d2_post_megawater_book'>> <<else>> <<include ep2d2_post_megawater_headquarters>> <</if>>Not long after getting on the road, $name pulled the small black ledger out of $her <<female ' purse' 'pocket'>>. "I almost forgot, I also found this." Juliana glanced over. "What is it?" "It's that lady's ledger. Your virus was taking a while, so I rooted around some in her office. I figure this little guy's got tons of useful information. Like, you know where her funding is coming from and--waah!" Juliana turned into a parking lot, and parked in the first space she came to. "What are you doing?" asked $name. Juliana stepped out of the car. She walked around to $name's door, fists clenched at her sides. [[Lock the door.|ep2d2_post_megawater_book_lock_door]] [["\"Come on, don't be mad. This guy's gotta have all sorts of juicy evidence.\""|ep2d2_post_megawater_book_lock_plead]]Juliana put one hand on the door handle, and pressed the button on her keys.

[["\"Oww!\""|ep2d2_post_megawater_swats]] [["\"Let go of me!\""|ep2d2_post_megawater_swats]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_post_megawater_swats]]Juliana pulled $name out of the car and peppered the seat of $her $pants. $name hopped and shielded $her bottom with $her hands (catching a few whacks on $her knuckles for $her troubles). [["\"No, don't! Let go of me!\""|ep2d2_post_megawater_book_spanking]] [["\"Oww!

[[Get out.|ep2d2_post_megawater_book_spanking]] [["\"No. I haven't done anything wrong.\""|ep2d2_post_megawater_swats]]Juliana reached into the car, and opened the glove compartment. She came out with a square leather paddle. She gestured to the hood of the car. "Bend over." [[Bend over.|ep2d2_post_megawater_book_spanking_bend_over]] [["\"Come on! You said we need to find evidence, so I found evidence.\""|ep2d2_post_megawater_book_spanking_protest]]"Not this kind of evidence." Juliana dragged $name to the hood, and forced $herm over it.

"Good $girl," said Juliana. [["\"Just get on with it.\""|ep2d2_post_megawater_book_spanking_begin]] [["\"So, you're not gonna spank me then?\""|ep2d2_post_megawater_book_spanking_begin]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_post_megawater_book_spanking_begin]]Juliana reached <<pantsskirt 'around' ' under'>> $name's <<bodytype 'slender' 'round' 'wide' 'expansive'>> bottom and <<pantsskirt 'tugged' ' pushed'>> $her $pants <<pantsskirt 'down to' 'over'>> $her <<pantsskirt 'thighs' ' bottom'>>. $name's <<sore 'red' ' unmarked'>> cheeks burst into view, <<baring 'utterly uncontained by' 'barely contained by>> $her $underwear.

Juliana ran the flat of the paddle along $name's tender bottom. "Let's talk about just how royally you messed up here, shall we?" [["\"I didn't screw up at all, that thing's gotta be a treasure trove!\""|ep2d2_post_megawater_book_spanking_begin_1]] [["\"I don't see how getting her journal is 'screwing up.'\""|ep2d2_post_megawater_book_spanking_begin_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_post_megawater_book_spanking_begin_1]]"Her computer's the only thing that really matters." Juliana slapped $name's right cheek with the paddle. The sharp crack of leather echoed around the parking lot. $name yelped and hopped up onto $her toes. "My virus is not obvious. Her missing ledger is. So now she might suspect someone was in her office. She might find the virus, or even just wipe her computer and start over." Juliana tightened $her grip on $name's $hairstyle and pulled $her head up. She battered $name's right cheek with a stream of bum-<<jiggly>> smacks. Each stroke of the paddle left a stinging memory behind. They built on each other, burning deeper and deeper into $name's <<fat>> cheek. $name squealed and bobbed $her hips, $her <<fat>> bottom rocking back and forth. "Now, why else was that a terrible idea? Oh yeah, I remember. That ledger right there, is the exact kind of thing that the police can find. Legally. And then use in court. Congratulations, you may have just made it that much harder for the cops to put Superfraud in jail." Juliana unleashed a flurry of rapid-fire smacks to $name's left cheek, rapidly bringing the exposed globe up to a blaze to match its partner. $name kicked $her foot and pounded $her fist against the hood of the car. "Don't you dare dent my car," said Juliana. "I will take the cost of repairs out on your bottom. Lord knows, mom'll will do the same to mine." $name muttered under $her breath. "What was that?" Juliana whapped $name's right sitspot. [["\"Nothing.

Juliana shifted $her grip on $name's hair. She cocked her hips and leaned over a bit. The paddle flashed between right and left cheek, making both <<jiggly>> and <<jiggly>> with each smack. The pop of leather to bare flesh rolled over $name's ears, even as a piercing burn rolled over $her all-but-naked, still very tender bottom. Each stroke sent a wave of hot pain crashing across $name's curved bottom. $name gripped $her biceps and closed $her eyes. $Her toes pivoted back and forth across the asphalt, occasionally kicking a little. $Her bottom bobbed as $she bounced on the balls of $her feet. "Alright, that's enough." Juliana pulled $name off the hood and guided $herm back into the car, not even bothering to <<pantsskirt 'pull' ' push'>> $name's <<pantstype>> back <<pantsskirt 'up' ' down'>>. $name whimpered as $her bare, raw skin pressed against the seat cushion. "Watch your fingers." Juliana closed the door. She slipped in and started the car. "Your <<pantstype>> <<pantsskirt 'are' 'is'>> to stay where <<pantsskirt 'they are' ' it is'>> until we get back to campus." "Next time, stick to the plan.

A jumble of images flashed through $her head. The abandoned business park. $Her fists clenched. Buzzsaw screaming after them as they fled. Alexandra's horrified expression. $name bounced $her knee. Buzzsaw's crazed, purple face. A soft hand pressed against $her knee. $She started, and glanced over at Juliana. Juliana took her eyes off the road long enough to give $name a comforting smile. "Relax. We beat Buzzsaw. We'll beat this one too." [["\"But it was close.

"Meh, so does Mom. And you're not scared of her are you?" Juliana grinned. "Yes. Yes I am. If Mom turned out to be a supervillain I would just let her take over," said $name. "Bah!

They found Vanessa sitting straight-backed in one of the chairs in the common room. She wore a small white vest with a black bowtie over a fitted blouse, a tight black skirt that extended to just above her knees, black hose, and black pumps. Her long hair was pulled up into a fairly intricate bun, and she had a touch of makeup to add a bit more color to her pale skin. She smiled and stood. "Excellent. Come on, so long as we don't dawdle we should have plenty of time to get you ready." Vanessa pushed $name into $her room and closed the door. "Now hurry up!" $name pulled on $her uniform. It was identical to Vanessa's except <<female 'the vest was black with a white bowtie' 'for pants instead of a skirt, and the vest was black with a white bowtie.'>>. $name took a deep breath and stepped back into the common room. <<set $femaleclothing to $gender == "female">> <<if $femaleclothing>> <<include 'ep2d2_equip_work_female'>> <<else>> <<include ep2d2_equip_work_male>> <</if>>[["\"So, how do I look?\""|ep2d2_work_makeup]] [["\"What now?\""|ep2d2_work_makeup]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_work_makeup]] <<if not $shirts.includes("waiter shirt")>> <<run $shirts.push("waiter shirt")>> <<run $pantsList.push("waiter pants")>> <<run $pantsList.push("waiter skirt")>> <</if>> <<set $pants to "waiter skirt">> <<set $shirt to "waiter shirt">>[["\"So, how do I look?\""|ep2d2_work_makeup]] [["\"What now?\""|ep2d2_work_makeup]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_work_makeup]] <<if not $shirts.includes("waiter shirt")>> <<run $shirts.push("waiter shirt")>> <<run $pantsList.push("waiter pants")>> <<run $pantsList.push("waiter skirt")>> <</if>> <<set $pants to "waiter pants">> <<set $shirt to "waiter shirt">>Vanessa took $her hand and pulled $herm into the bathroom. "Are you allergic to any makeup or anything?" $name shook $her head. "Good." Vanessa applied makeup to $name's face with a precision and speed that would make any makeup artist envious. Vanessa turned $name around and pulled $her hair into a braid similar to her own with similar speed and precision. The two returned to the common room. Juliana's eyes widened. "That was fast." Vanessa shrugged. "Been working there for almost two years now, so I've had lots and lots of practice. Come on, we need to get going or we're going to be late."

Where's the place?" Vanessa blinked. "Oh, right. You have a car. Umm, here let me see your phone." "Yeah, I'll get you there in fifteen to twenty minutes. So we'll leave at 4:20, just to be safe," said Juliana. "This is a thing I am comfortable with," said Vanessa. She sat down and grabbed her book off the side table. Juliana grabbed $name's hand. "Come on. I want to show you something." The two entered Juliana's room. Juliana sat down at her desk, <<if $ep2_juliana_distraction>> before jumping back up with a yelp, a grimance on <<else>> an eager grin on<</if>> her face. "Now, watch my baby do its magic."

"I'm getting a connection not found-oh, I see! Stupid me. The command had a typo." Juliana laughed. "Had myself worried for a minute there." Juliana tapped at her keyboard for a moment. White text whipped across the dark screen. Juliana threw her hands up and crowed. "I'm in baby! And she's even using Ubuntu, so I won't have to struggle through the Windows command line.

Waiting for them was the broad-shouldered, broad-hipped beach manager who'd toasted Alexandra's bottom back in September. "Ah, so good to finally meet you," said Mrs. Rossi with a broad smile. "May I hug you?" "Um, sure," said $name. Mrs. Rossi gave $name a great big bear hug. "You look lovely. So sorry I wasn't able to interview you, my beach was keeping me busy, I hope you understand. After all, you've seen it haven't you? It doesn't get that nice on its own!" "You own that? But I thought..." "That I merely worked for the true owner, a close friend of Miss Silver's mother?" Mrs. Rossi's lips quirked. "Yes, I think you'll find that Miss Silver is not quite as aware of her mother's business dealings as perhaps her mother would like. I take it Vanessa explained how your training will work?" [["\"Yes ma'am.\""|ep2d2_work_maam]] [["\"Yup.\""|ep2d2_work_yup]] [["\"Err, no, I don't think so?\""|ep2d2_work_no]]"Excellent, excellent and such fine manners, too," said Mrs. Rossi. She smiled at Vanessa. "You have good choice in friends. Now why don't you show $herm the employee room, and then you two should get to work." "Yes ma'am," said Vanessa, gesturing for $name to follow her. As they walked away, Vanessa leaned in. "Thanks for saving my bacon back there. I can't believe I forgot to give you the rundown." "Don't mention it," said $name quietly. "So what's the 'rundown'?" Vanessa shrugged. "Nothing much. You're in training, I'm your mentor. Follow me around, watch what I do. I'll have you take a few orders, we'll talk about what you did right and wrong, that sort of thing. Basically, just be polite, refill people's drinks, and if a customer's being an ass smile, nod, and take it up with Mrs. Rossi. Make a mistake, I give you a few swats. Make a big mistake, and I give you a spanking." "And I guess if I hadn't been superpolite back there, you would have given me a spanking?" "Only a few swats. You would have barely felt it," said Vanessa. <<sore '"I\'ve already been spanked today. I would have felt it."' ' "I see."'>> Vanessa winced again. "I'm sorry." <<set $ep2_saved_vanessas_bacon to true>> <<include ep2d2_vanessa_spank_or_not>>Vanessa grabbed $name's arm and landed four stinging smacks to the seat of $her <<female ' skirt' 'pants'>>. "Oww!" said $name, hopping a little and shielding $her bottom. Vanessa pulled $name's hands away, and gave $herm two more, harder smacks. $name squirmed and squeaked. "First and foremost, you treat Mrs. Rossi with respect, just like you would a customer. That means referring to her as ma'am, and using proper language. That means 'yes ma'am,' not 'yup.' Second, you do not try to shield your bottom. Third, when you make a mistake you apologize. Understand?" "Yes," said $name. "Good now, why don't you try it. You owe Mrs. Rossi an apology for disrespect, and you owe me an apology for trying to shield your bottom." "I'm sorry Mrs. Rossi for not being respectful. I'm sorry Vanessa for shielding my bottom," said $name. "You're forgiven dear," said Mrs. Rossi. "You're new. Mistakes happen." "Yes, you're forgiven," said Vanessa. "Just remember, offenses that earn a few swats while in training will earn you a full spanking when training is complete." [["\"Can I be in training forever?\""|ep2d2_work_yup_1]] [["\"Thrilling.\""|ep2d2_work_yup_1]]"We've all got work to do. Vanessa show $her to the employee room, and then you two need to hit the floor. You handled that quite well Vanessa. Keep up the good work," said Rossi. "Yes ma'am," said the two in unison. As they walked away, Vanessa leaned in close to $name. "Thanks for saving my bacon back there. Sorry about the swats, but that's part of training." $name glared at Vanessa and made a big show of rubbing $her bottom. "It's not the sting I'm upset about." Vanessa winced. She opened a door into a small lounge. "Yeah, I know I can't believe I forgot to give you the rundown. Look it's quite simple. Be polite, fill people's drinks, and when you mess up apologize, get it fixed, and give them a discount. You mess up, I give you a few swats like back there.

"Alright, alright," said Vanessa. "Never thought you could be so heartless." "You're lucky I'm not bending you over right here, AND when we get home," said $name. Vanessa answered with a morose sigh. <<set $ep2d2_vanessa_spanking to true>> [["\"You'll be fine.

"Trust me, the tips we get here on a slow night are worth far more than whatever's in your bag." [["\"Well, that's good to know.\""|ep2d2_wait_tables]] [["\"Ok. So, work the tips. Work. The. Tips.\""|ep2d2_wait_tables]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_wait_tables]]"Is that so?" said Mrs. Rossi, rounding on Vanessa and rolling up her right sleeve. Vanessa winced. She turned around and hiked up her skirt. She gathered her hose in her fingers and peeled them down to her thighs, revealing a pair of large, firm cheeks bursting out of a small red thong. Vanessa bent over a little and stuck her fit orbs out. "I am very disappointed in you young lady." Mrs. Rossi stepped up next to Vanessa's slightly bent form. She raised her right hand, and brought it down on Vanessa's right cheek with a loud SMACK! Vanessa's cheek bounced vigorously beneath the blow. When Mrs. Rossi pulled her hand back, it left a bright red handprint behind. "I'm sorry ma'am," said Vanessa in a strained voice. "What is the first responsibility of a mentor?" Mrs. Rossi's large palm cracked against Vanessa's left cheek. "To make sure my trainee knows the rules," said Vanessa, her voice tight with pain, her left cheek wobbling. "And does $name know the rules?" Mrs. Rossi's hand thwacked Vanessa's right cheek, right beneath the bright red handprint. [[Quietly: "That looks like it hurts."|ep2d2_work_no_1]] [[Quietly: "Please God, if you exist, don't let Mrs. Rossi spank me. Ever."|ep2d2_work_no_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_work_no_1]]Vanessa hopped up on her toes and mewled. "No ma'am." "And why not?" Mrs. Rossi's hand thwacked Vanessa's left cheek, right beneath the bright red handprint. "Because I forgot to tell $herm ma'am," said Vanessa. "Indeed." Mrs. Rossi popped Vanessa's right cheek three times in rapid succession, making the pale mound wobble. "$She could have walked right into some swats because of you. That's not being a particularly good mentor is it?" "No ma'am," said Vanessa. Mrs. Rossi popped Vanessa's left cheek three times in quick succession. Vanessa wiggled her hips and squealed. "Indeed. You are supposed to make sure that $she learns how to serve our guests with poise and dignity, to give them service to match the food. Am I making myself clear?" "Yes ma'am," said Vanessa. "Good." Mrs. Rossi's hand moved methodically back and forth, striking each cheek with hard, loud smacks, and she didn't stop until Vanessa's bottom was bright red from top to bottom. "Now straighten, and show $name to the employee's lounge where $she can leave $her bag." [[Quietly: "Oucheeee..."|ep2d2_work_no_2]] [[Quietly: "She certainly runs a tight ship"|ep2d2_work_no_2]] [[Quietly: "Working here is gonna suck..."|ep2d2_work_no_2]] [[Rub your bottom anxiously.|ep2d2_work_no_2]]"Yes ma'am." Vanessa straightened and pulled her hose back up. She gnawed on her lip as the fabric brushed over her swollen bottom. She wiggled her skirt back down, shifting from foot to foot as the tight skirt put pressure on her red cheeks. Despite the spanking, there was no sign of tears, and her makeup was untouched. "Come on $name." $name followed Veronica. "Sorry about that. I kept meaning to talk to you, I just forgot. Anyway, the basic idea is that you'll be following me, watching what I do, asking me questions when we're not on the floor, etc. I'll also have you take the lead a few times. Later, we'll talk about what you did right and wrong." Vanessa opened a door, and ushered $name inside. "You mess up, you get a few swats. Whatever earns you swats now, will get you a proper spanking when you're fully trained. Any questions?" "You never struck me as a thong girl." $name set $her bag in a corner, between a table and couch. "You sure I can just leave my bag here?" Vanessa laughed. "When Mrs. Rossi decides to paddle you, it's always on the bare. But she also doesn't like exposing any more than necessary. So if you wear underwear that doesn't cover much cheek, she'll leave them up. If you do, they're coming down." "Maybe I'll just never get spanked," said $name. Vanessa rolled her eyes. "And maybe someday Phillipa Silver will show up at my door, inform me that I'm her secret long lost daughter, and give me a billion dollar check." [["\"Wonderful. Best news I've heard ever. In my entire life. Ever.\""|ep2d2_work_no_3]] [["\"Crap.\""|ep2d2_work_no_3]] [[Grimace nervously.|ep2d2_work_no_3]]"Relax, it's not that hard. Just stay calm and be a duck." "A duck?" "Let things roll off like water rolls off a duck." Vanessa lead the way out into the restaurant proper. [["\"Don't think ducks have to worry about getting spanked though.\""|ep2d2_wait_tables]] [["\"Did I ever mention that letting things 'roll off' has never been a thing for me?\""|ep2d2_wait_tables]] [[Groan.|ep2d2_wait_tables]]The next few hours passed in a blur. At first, $name scurried after Vanessa. That earned $herm a few swats: $she was expected to walk with poise and grace. After that, $she did $her best to glide after Vanessa, paying careful attention to how Vanessa greeted each table, how Vanessa phrased each question, and the order Vanessa asked each question. Vanessa had $herm wait a few tables. Despite $her best efforts, it seemed like $she got swats every time. One time for interrupting a customer with a helpful suggestion. Another time for forgetting to pick up some almost empty glasses that needed refilling. A third time for writing too much in $her notepad. A fourth for forgetting to ask a customer for their second side. By eight o'clock $name's bottom was quite sore, and $she groaned as $she stuck $her butt out for two sharp swats for setting a customer's plate in front of his wife by accident. "How about next time, you write the orders in your pad clockwise. So the top entry is the left customer in the aisle, the next entry is next to them and so on around the table. You can just set the plates down in the order you wrote them down," said Vanessa after giving $herm two swats. "No thinking, no confusion, no nothing." <<include ep2d2_wait_tables_1_spankable>>[["\"My feet are killing me.

Vanessa gave $herm an encouraging smile and a comforting pat on the shoulder. $She waved $her orderpad. "I'm making a list of each mistake you make tonight. We'll go over it after our shift, and focus on three things to work on next shift. We'll just work through the list one entry at a time until you got each one down pat." "Besides, Vanessa's being a bit overzealous," said the greeter as she entered the small space between the kitchen and the restaurant proper. "She doesn't need to swat your bottom for every infraction every time." "But the rules--" "Aren't rules, they're guidelines," said the other waitress. She gave Vanessa a few sharp swats. "I didn't smack you for every infraction every time, now did I?" Vanessa huffed. "I guess not." The waitress smiled and offered her hand to $name. "Hi. I'm Carly. I trained Vanessa here. Taught her everything she knows." "I'm $name. Nice to meet you," said $name. "And thanks. Don't know how much more my poor bottom can take." "Well, just let me know if Vanessa goes a little crazy on you. I'll straighten her out." <<include ep2d2_wait_tables_2_spankable>>[["\"Can I watch?\""|ep2d2_wait_tables_2]] [["\"Oh don't worry, I will.\""|ep2d2_wait_tables_2]] [[Smirk.|ep2d2_wait_tables_2]][["\"Don't think I can imagine Vanessa with the just-spanked-waddle.\""|ep2d2_wait_tables_2]] [["\"I can't believe Vanessa stumbled through all this, it seems baked in her bones.\""|ep2d2_wait_tables_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_wait_tables_2]]"Shouldn't you be out greeting?" grumbled Vanessa. "Yeah, probably. Now Vanessa, only give $name here swats for what you're working on tonight, and gentle reminders for everything else." The greeter took a quick drink from a water bottle with a yellow mark on it, and walked back into the restaurant proper. "You've got another customer at table 6." Vanessa sighed. "Alright, come on. You're taking the lead on this one." Alexandra's mother, Phillipa Silver, sat at the table. Her thick, graying blonde hair was pulled up into a bun, and she wore an elegant red dress. She looked just like a thirty-years-older Alexandra. Wrinkles gathered at her eyes, and cut small lines across her cheeks. Her makeup was just enough to make her look youthful and enhance her natural beauty, but not so much as to be garish. A mustachioed gentleman about her age sat across from her. She smiled when she saw Vanessa and $name. "Well, well if it isn't Alex's roommates. I hope Delyth isn't running you two too ragged." $name glanced at Vanessa. "I know, I know you're supposed to put on a brave face in front of your customers. Well, seeing as how Delyth and I are such close friends, I'm sure she won't mind if your mask slips a little, hmm?" Phillipa gave $name a warm smile. [["\"I'm feeling rather ragged. There's a lot to learn.\""|ep2d2_wait_tables_3]] [["\"I'm fine. Doing a lot of learning, but such is life right?\""|ep2d2_wait_tables_3]]"Indeed." Phillipa's eyes sparkled. "Been doing this whole 'life' thing for over fifty years, and I'm still learning so very much." $name nodded. "And um, on that note, what would--" The door burst open with a bang. $name jumped and very nearly flared $her forcefield. In walked a woman. The first thing $name saw were a pair of obviously fake devil horns poking through a thick mane of raven hair. The horns were... augmented... with little pink broken hearts. A black butterfly mask obscured the upper half of her face, leaving a pair of ruby red lips, smooth cheeks, and a button nose exposed. Her dark eyes smoldered from behind her mask. She wore a long-sleeved dark purple leotard with a diamond cut out of the front. Said diamond started just above her ample breasts and ran all the down to just above her belly button, exposing her inner boob and a fair amount of her firm torso. The leotard was edged in black and quite sparkly. A black cape with purple edging and a jagged bottom draped her shoulders, covering all but the front of her outfit. Black stiletto-heeled boots that went two-thirds up her thighs completed the ensemble. A trio of women came in after her. Each one wore a black butterfly mask and a black leotard. They also had obviously fake devil horns, and even fake devil tails. One of them carried a particle gun, another wore brass knuckles on one hand, and a third carried a baseball bat. Phillipa grunted in disgust. "God, her costume is worse than the last one." [["\"Seriously.\""|ep2d2_wait_tables_4]] [[Quietly: "Why here? Why now?"|ep2d2_wait_tables_4]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_wait_tables_4]]The woman threw her cape over her shoulder, revealing a whip hanging at her side, and a riding crop clutched in silky black gloves. She slapped the greeter's desk. "My name is Succubus and I demand to be seated!" The greeter jumped. "Umm, you'll have to, um, wait-I-" Succubus' eyes swept the room. $name swayed as those eyes glanced off $herm, leaving behind a nearly overwhelming need to open up a seat. Vanessa groaned and leaned against the table. "What the--I can't--" The man sitting with Phillipa stood. "I think it best, Ms. Silver, if we allow Ms. Succubus to take our seat. We can wait a little I think." "Yeah, no," said Phillipa. People all over the restaurant were standing and murmuring, apparently all too eager to let Succubus take their seat. Succubus smirked. She frowned when she saw Phillipa. "What is the meaning of this?" said Mrs. Rossi, storming from the back of the restaurant. "Who are you, and where did you get that garish outfit?" "You like?" Succubus twirled. Her cape swept up into the air to reveal a pair of large, round, tight cheeks bursting out of a tiny thong. Mrs. Rossi hesitated for a moment. She shook her head and growled. "Of course not. I thought Scarlet Moon's costume was the <<sexycostume 'sluttiest' 'most absurd'>> you could get. Clearly, I was wrong." [[Quietly: "My costume is awesome, I don't know what she's talking about."|ep2d2_wait_tables_5]] [[Quietly: "Gotta get away, stop this loon."|ep2d2_wait_tables_5]] [[Frown.|ep2d2_wait_tables_5]]$name eased towards the back of the restaurant. Succubus blinked. Her eyes flared with a purple-red light. "I said, isn't my costume beautiful?" Mrs. Rossi grabbed her head and swayed from side to side. "Hmmph. Stubborn old hag." Succubus' eyes faded. She pivoted on one heel and strutted to Phillipa. "Well, well look whose here. The esteemed Phillipa Silver, founder and CEO of Silver Ant Industries. Benevolent venture capitalist in her spare time. What a crazy coincidence." "I find that highly unlikely," said Phillipa in a cold voice. "It doesn't matter what you find." Succubus leaned forward, and her eyes bored into Phillipa's. "Those are some very expensive earrings. How about you give them to me." "Of course." Phillipa reached up to remove her earrings. [["Quietly: \"Right, so next time we need a distraction, bust out the crazy-but-voluptuous lady in a thong.\""|ep2d2_succubus]] [["Quietly: \"It's Carmine. Wonderful.\""|ep2d2_succubus]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_succubus]]$name slipped into the back room. As soon as $she was out of sight, $she dashed for the staff room, snatched up $her backpack, and bolted into the alley behind the restaurant. $She pulled out $her bluetooth, shoved it in $her ear, and called Juliana. $She opened the secret compartment in the bag and pulled out $her costume. "Don't tell me you're being robbed too," said Juliana in an exasperated voice. "There's this like huge crimewave sweeping the city right now. They got every cop they can muster in every car they can find careening all over the city." "Melissa's here. Dressed up in a gaudy thong leotard and calling herself the Succubus." $name shucked $her clothing and shoved it into $her bag. $She pulled on $her costume. "I thought she might have been behind this," said Juliana. "Crimewave's probably a distraction then." "Yeah. Now she's got all the time in the world to enjoy the ritziest restaurant in town, filled to bursting with the richest people in town, all decked out in expensive crap," said Scarlet Moon as $she pulled $her mask over $her head. $She leapt up onto the roof. "Unfortunately for her, Scarlet Moon just happened to be in the neighborhood, and $she's none too happy." Scarlet Moon ran to the edge of the roof overlooking the main entrance. "Alright, so all we really know about Succubus is that she's got crazy persuasion powers. We don't know if she has physical powers to match, or how tough her minions are," said Juliana. "Though I'll bet she's not much of a fighter herself." <<equipCostume>> [["\"So take out her minions first?\""|ep2d2_succubus_1]] [["\"So hopefully, if I punch her hard enough, I can take her down quick.\""|ep2d2_succubus_1]]Scarlet Moon peered over the edge of the roof. A fourth thug stood outside in the same getup as the others, holding a stun gun. Apparently Succubus' minions were also wearing thong leotards. So many cheeks just begging for a Scarlet Spanking of Justice. "Yeah, that's my thinking," said Juliana. [[STRENGTH: Wrap a Crimson Cord around the minion and yank her up.|ep2d2_restaurant_strength]] [[SPEED: Swing down and snatch the thug's weapon.|ep2d2_restaurant_speed]] [[POWER: Pick her off with a well-placed beam.|ep2d2_restaurant_willpower]] <<equipCostume>>Scarlet Moon flicked $her left wrist and sent a thick crimson cord flying down to wrap around the thug. $She sucked the cord back into $her forcefield. <<statCheck $strength 'ep2d2_restaurant_strength_success' 'ep2d2_restaurant_strength_failure'>> <<decreaseStat 'strength'>>The thug yelped in surprise, looked up at Scarlet Moon, and grabbed the cord. Her muscles flexed, and she gave a great tug. Scarlet Moon nearly toppled over the lip of the roof. $She braced $herself against the lip and heaved. With another yelp, the thug sailed towards Scarlet Moon. As soon as her face cleared the lip, Scarlet Moon punched it. The thug slumped. Scarlet Moon heaved the body up onto the roof and laid it down on the coarse gravel. $She attached a cord to the edge of the roof and lowered $herself until $she could peer into the restaurant. Succubus sat in Phillipa's seat, eating something that looked expensive and gross. Phillipa lay tied up on the floor, staring blankly at the front of the restaurant, Succubus' feet on her back. Phillipa's date stood just behind Succubus, giving her a massage. One of Succubus' thugs stood in front and a little to the side of Succubus. Another stood next to a fuming Mrs. Rossi with the stun gun pointed at her head. The third relieved patrons of jewelry and watches. Phillipa's eyes met Scarlet Moon's. For an instant the blank expression vanished, replaced by a smug smirk and a wink.

Scarlet Moon leapt up and out from the building. $Her cord went taut, and for a moment $she hung unmoving in the air, as if freed from gravity. Mother Earth reasserted Her hold, and Scarlet Moon plummeted. $She whipped towards the open door, $her <<baring 'bare' ' thinly clad'>> cheeks mere inches from the concrete. Everything slowed down. Succubus' eyes widened, and her mouth started to open. Customers and waiters ducked. The thieving thug started to turn. Crimson power flowed into Scarlet Moon's boots right as they slammed into the thug's back, and everything sped up again. The thug flew over the table and slammed into Succubus, sending both toppling to the ground. Scarlet flipped and landed on $her feet. A baseball bat whipped at $her head. Scarlet Moon caught and snapped it in two with one hand, while wrapping a cord around the villain's waist with the other. A flick of the wrist sent the thug headfirst into her prone buddy's butt. A particle beam slammed into Scarlet Moon's shield, sending bright red sparks flying. Scarlet Moon spun and fired a short beam, catching the villain in the chest. The villain fell on her back, and the particle gun went sliding across the floor. Another, much hotter beam turned it to slag. [["\"See, this is why I never eat out.

One minion got up with her. The other did not. "Really?" said Succubus with a small half smile. "I never eat out because you never know when some jackass is going to come in and kick your driver across the table." Scarlet Moon clapped $her hands together. "You mean you don't like eating out either? I sense a bonding moment!" "I'll show you a bonding moment," said Succubus, throwing her cape back to reveal a bullwhip. [["\"Ooh, kinky.\""|ep2d2_restaurant_success_snarky_spanking]] [["\"Ok that's it. You're going down for the pun alone.\""|ep2d2_restaurant_success_snarky_spanking]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_restaurant_success_snarky_spanking]]Succubus snapped her whip at Scarlet Moon, wrapping it around Scarlet Moon's waist. Her eyes flared with red-purple light. Her voice took on a melodic quality. "You've been very a naughty $girl Scarlet Moon. Time to bend over and take your medicine." The whip shuddered, and Scarlet Moon felt a nearly overpowering sense of shame. $She took a slow step forward. Such a naughty, naughty $girl. Another step. How could $she have been so very very naughty. A faster step. What $she needed was to bend over and take a good hard licking from the Mistress. Scarlet Moon stood directly in front of Succubus, who grinned widely. <<set $ep2d2_restaurant_success to true>> <<statCheck $power 'ep2d2_restaurant_snarky_willpower_success' 'ep2d2_restaurant_success_snarky_willpower_failure'>>Scarlet Moon punched Succubus in the face.

The woman's cape fell down and brushed against the floor, fully exposing a pair of big, firm, rounded orbs bursting out of a tiny thong. "Kiss my ass!" snarled Succubus. "I have a better idea." Scarlet Moon spanked the villain like a doctor spanking a newborn. Succubus squawked, swinging back and forth like a pendulum. [["\"Naughty little demon, threatening all these people with your villainous antics. You deserve to have your bum turned as red as my costume.\""|ep2d2_restaurant_snarky_willpower_success_2]] [["\"By the time I'm done with you, your ass will be as red as my costume.\""|ep2d2_restaurant_snarky_willpower_success_2]]Scarlet Moon smacked Succubus' bare, curvy cheeks with loud, heavy strokes that made the villain's firm globes bounce and wobble. "We'll see whose bum gets turned red as your costume," said Succubus. In a truly impressive feat of core strength, Succubus swung up and punched Scarlet Moon in the gut. Scarlet Moon half-slid, half-stumbled backwards, right into the arms of one of Succubus' minions. "Leave Mistress alone!" The thug grabbed the back of Scarlet Moon's costume and whipped the hero (and Succubus) into a wall. Succubus rolled away, and kicked Scarlet Moon in the face with a heel, smashing Scarlet Moon's head through the drywall and against the heavy wooden boards behind it. By the time Scarlet Moon pulled $herself out of the wall, Succubus stood with her hands on her hips, flanked by the two minions still standing. Her face was flushed, and she swayed a little. <<set $ep2d2_resisted_succubus to true>> <<if $ep2d2_restaurant_success>> <<include ep2d2_restaurant_success_prebattle>> <<else>> <<include ep2d2_restaurant_failure_prebattle>> <</if>>"I take it things are about to get serious," said Juliana.

She grinned venomously. "The fun has just begun." <<include ep2d2_restaurant_success_serious_spanking>>"Ah, the strong, silent type." Succubus pulled a whip off her belt and cracked it at Scarlet Moon. Her eyes glowed. "I'm gonna love making you squeal." <<statCheck $power 'ep2d2_restaurant_success_stoic_spanking' 'ep2d2_restaurant_failure_stoic_spanking'>>Scarlet Moon grabbed the whip and yanked. Succubus skidded right into Scarlet Moon's waiting arms. Scarlet Moon grabbed a nearby chair, sat down, and pulled Succubus across $her knee. "Don't you dare," said Succubus, flopping around Scarlet Moon's lap like a fish. "I am Succubus, and I will be the one-eep!" Scarlet Moon flicked the villain's cape away to reveal a pair of large, tanned, quivering orbs left completely exposed by a tiny black thong. Scarlet Moon stared at $her own hand for a moment, a frown of concentration on $her face. $Her glow shifted and rippled, and $she held a rectangular scarlet paddle. Scarlet Moon's frown turned upside down. CRACK! Succubus howled as the scarlet paddle struck her bare cheeks, her hips bucking, and her naked flesh wobbling beneath the super-implement. "Unhand-oww! Minions! OWW!" The paddle kissed Succubus' buttocks over and over and over again, each stroke making the supervillain wiggle and squeal. By the third stroke, her tan cheeks were a bright red, and getting redder. Meanwhile, Scarlet Moon kept half-an-eye on Succubus' two remaining minions, who seemed strangely reluctant to intercede, almost as if Succubus' grip on them were loosening. "MINIONS!" Succubus' eyes flared, and the minions charged. [["\"No need to rush ladies. I've got plenty of swats for everyone.\""|ep2d2_restaurant_success_stoic_spanking_1]] [["\"Very well, you too shall face my Scarlet Paddle of Justice!\""|ep2d2_restaurant_success_stoic_spanking_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_restaurant_success_stoic_spanking_1]]$She flung Succubus at one minion, and the chair at the other. The one minion caught her mistress, while the other ducked the chair. "GET HER! GET HER! GET HER!" shrieked Succubus as she regained her feet, her face as red as her bottom.

Succubus and the minion both squawked as the minion collided with the supervillainess, sending both sprawling. The second minion swung her brass-knuckled fist at Scarlet Moon. Scarlet Moon sidestepped, rammed an elbow into the villain's gut, then smacked her ass into a table, sending food flying.

Succubus' eyes pulsed. Scarlet Moon stumbled, clutching at $her head. It felt like it was trapped in a vice. The minion grabbed Scarlet Moon, and slammed $herm up against a table. The other minion tried to punch Scarlet Moon in the face, but Scarlet Moon caught the fist, and flung her backwards onto a table. $She brought her fists down between the shoulderblades of the minion holding $herm, dropping her like a sack of potatoes. Scarlet Moon tried to glare at Succubus, but the restaurant tilted under $her feet, and $she staggered. $Her head throbbed, and $her vision faded away to just those glowing red eyes. "Bad, bad little $girl," said a succulent, stern voice. The words echoed about the restaurant, and Scarlet Moon clutched $her ears. "Bend over little $girl. It's time for your spanking." Yes. Yes, Scarlet Moon was a bad $girl. A bad, bad, little $girl. $She needed a good, hard spanking. Scarlet Moon bent over and grabbed $her ankles, $her <<fat>>, <<sexycostume 'bare' 'spandex-straining'>> bottom <<jiggling>> slightly as it thrusts into the air.

Scarlet Moon grabbed the two minions and conked their heads together, dropping them dazed to the floor. Succubus glowered at Scarlet Moon. "Ok little $girl, you're tougher than you look. But you *will* bend over for my crop, and you'll do it of your own volition."

The minion trying to tackle $herm barely made $her stumble, while the other minion's brass knuckles shattered against $her shield. But the distractions were enough. Everything got washed away in a sea of red, except for Succubus. Scarlet Moon blindly grabbed one minion and slammed her into the other. "Such a bad $superheroine, throwing a tantum instead of taking $her spanking like a good $girl." Succubus' voice echoed throughout the space, reverberating in Scarlet Moon's skin. "Grab your ankles you naughty, naughty little brat." Scarlet Moon bent over and grabbed $her ankles, $her <<fat>> ass thrusting into the air, <<jiggly>> cheeks <<sexycostume 'bursting out of $her spandex thong' 'straining against $her spandex pants'>>. Heels clacked. A crop whooshed. Pain bloomed on Scarlet Moon's upthrust rear. Twice, three times, four times the crop descended, stinging Scarlet Moon's <<soft>>, raised rear. The sudden pain burned away the fog shrouding Scarlet Moon's mind. $Her eyes flared, and $she kicked Succubus in the chest, sending the villain smashing through a wall.

She shook her head, right as Scarlet Moon slammed into her, fists raining down, knees going to all the tender places. "<<female 'Bitch get off!'

The thug pivoted with Scarlet Moon's momentum, and flung $herm into the restaurant. The $heroine smashed through the greeter's podium and two tables, skidded across the top of the bar, and slammed into the big ol' wall of expensive drinks with a tinkling crash.

"Homerun!" crowed Succubus with a clap of her hands. Scarlet Moon pushed $herself to $her feet, needles and sticky sauces falling off $her forcefield. $She swayed a little, but $her eyes flared.

"Discipline...discipline...discipline..." <<statCheck $power 'ep2d2_restaurant_snarky_willpower_success' 'ep2d2_restaurant_success_snarky_willpower_failure'>>"Scarlet Moon, wake up! Wake up!" Scarlet Moon stood in front of Succubus, the villain's eyes blazing with a dark, dark red light. Succubus gestured to a table that had appeared next to her. "Bend over and offer your naughty bottom to Mistress." Scarlet Moon stepped up to the edge of the table, and bent over it, $her <<sexycostume 'exposed' 'spandex-clad'>> cheeks rounding into a full moon. $She locked $her knees, arched $her back, and waited. "Scarlet Moon! Wake up! Wake-" A sharp, square-shaped sting bloomed on the middle of Scarlet Moon's right cheek. Succubus whipped a purple and black riding crop into the middle of Scarlet Moon's left cheek. The crop whistled as it rose and fell, slapping Scarlet Moon's exposed buttocks in a rapid right-left-right-left tempo. The crop's small leather square struck a different place with every stroke, and it wasn't long before small stinging squares coated Scarlet Moon's <<fat>> bottom. "She's trying to control you! Don't listen to her! Fight back!" "That's right," said Succubus with a mix of venom and nectar as the crop lashed Scarlet Moon's buttocks. "Take your whipping.

Scarlet Moon cried out and spasmed as the piercing shriek spiked $her ear. In that moment of pain, Scarlet Moon saw $her position with perfect clarity: obediently bent over a table getting whipped by a supervillain. Scarlet Moon twisted around and backhanded Succubus into a table decked out with caviar. "Stay out of my head!" A scarlet beam smashed into Succubus' chest and slammed her into the bar. Succubus pushed herself to her feet, a serpentine smile on her face. She pointed her riding crop at Scarlet Moon. "Looks like the naughty little super$heroine refuses to take $her medicine. Minions! Put $herm in the corner!" The villain's minions charged, Succubus following shortly behind them. <<if $ep2d2_restaurant_success>> <<include ep2d2_restaurant_success_prebattle>> <<else>> <<include ep2d2_restaurant_failure_prebattle>> <</if>> <<set $spankee to $spankee + 1>> <<modifySore 1>>"Au contraire," said Succubus with a seductive smile. "The fun's just begun." <<include ep2d2_restaurant_failure_serious>>Succubus' eyes glowed. The glow built, and built and built, until the entire restaurant vanished in the light. Succubus herself fell away, leaving only those eyes. Those eyes and that red-purple glow. "You are a very naughty $girl." The voice came from every direction, lik a PA in a giant echo chamber. "And do you know what happens to naughty $girls? The Succubus spanks them." The glow faded, and Succubus and the restaurant returned. Succubus sat in a chair, her back straight and her legs together. Her riding crop leaned against a chair leg. She tapped her lap. "Over my knee young $lady." Juliana scoffed. "Yeah like that's gonna happen." <<statCheck $power 'ep2d2_restaurant_serious_willpower_success' 'ep2d2_restaurant_success_serious_willpower_failure'>>Scarlet Moon approached Succubus. $She grabbed the supervillain by the hair, and switched places with her.

The super$heroine flipped the woman's cape over her head to fully expose a tiny thong poking out of the top and bottom of a pair of curvy, protruding cheeks. "Unhand me this instant, worm," said Succubus, squirming and kicking. "Minions, aid me!" Scarlet Moon glared at the minions, who stayed put. $She picked up the riding crop, and tapped it against Succubus' right cheek.

It whistled with every stroke. It slapped with every stroke. It elicited squeals and kicking with every stroke. "Minions, aid your mistress. Aid her now!" The minions jumped and charged Scarlet Moon. The super$heroine lifted Succubus off $her lap and flung her and the chair at her charging minions. <<set $ep2d2_resisted_succubus to true>> <<if $ep2d2_restaurant_success>> <<include 'ep2d2_restaurant_success_prebattle'>> <<else>> <<include ep2d2_restaurant_failure_prebattle>> <</if>>Scarlet Moon stepped forward and draped $herself across Succubus' lap. Succubus grinned, and kicked off her left heel. This had the effect of lowering her left knee, lowering Scarlet Moon's torso, shifting more weight onto $her hands, and further emphasizing the super$heroine's round bottom. Succubus laughed and traced a finger across the curve of Scarlet Moon's right cheek. "Perfect." "Crap, she's controlling you isn't she?" said Juliana. There was a sharp crack. Scarlet Moon jerked as $her right cheek caved beneath Succubus' palm. Succubus traced her finger across the curve of Scarlet Moon's left cheek. "That's right. Don't make a sound. Take your thrashing quietly. Like a good $girl." Another sharp crack filled the room as Succubus smacked Scarlet Moon's left cheek. One of Scarlet Moon's legs twitched a little, enhancing the ripple flowing through $her <<fat>> bottom. But $she didn't make a sound. "Oh my goodness look at that," said Succubus, <<baring ' patting Scarlet Moon\'s bum' ' pulling aside some of the thin material covering Scarlet Moon\'s bum'>>. "I can already see my handprint. You turn red quickly don't you? Guess that's why you're called Scarlet Moon." "Urg, I am tired of listening to that woman. You need to snap out of it. You're a super$heroine, not Succubus' toy," said Juliana. [[Quietly: "Must stay quiet for mistress..."|ep2d2_restaurant_success_serious_willpower_failure_1]]Succubus' palm struck Scarlet Moon's right cheek, the crisp snap of bare hand to <<baring 'bare' ' barely clad'>> cheek bouncing through the restaurant. Succubus traced her fingers around a spot in the center of Scarlet Moon's left cheek, and struck that exact spot with a bum-jerking smack. Scarlet Moon twitched with each smak. Succubus giggled. "Oh, this is just too much--" Juliana screamed. Scarlet Moon cried out in pain, hunching as the high-pitched shriek pierced $her ear like a needle. The pain burned away the fog coating Scarlet Moon's mind like the mid-morning sun.

Succubus pushed herself to her feet. She smiled. "What's wrong? Weren't you having fun? I know I was." Scarlet Moon walked forward, eyes literally blazing. "Your ass is mine Succubus." Succubus' smile turned feral. "We'll see whose ass belongs to who. Minions.

She cracked it and walked forward, whip held down at her side. Scarlet Moon circled warily around the villain. There was a flicker of movement out of the corner of $her eye. There was a loud crack, and the whip wrapped itself around Scarlet Moon's neck. The super$heroine grabbed the thick leather. Succubus' eyes began to glow. "Stop struggling worm." <<statCheck $power 'ep2d2_restaurant_success_stoic_spanking' 'ep2d2_restaurant_failure_stoic_spanking'>>The glow spread across the restaurant, drowning it all away in a uniform, purple-red glow. Succubus stood in the center of it all, goddess of the universe, creator and destroyer. She grew and grew and grew, until she towered over Scarlet Moon, and she surely should have slammed into the roof. "Obey, worm." When she spoke, her voice came from everywhere and nowhere. It shook the universe down to its very foundations. Scarlet Moon could hear it in $her ears, and feel it in $her toes. "Obey!" The glow faded. Succubus shrank. Scarlet Moon stood in the middle of the restaurant, still clutching the whip wrapped around $her neck. [["\"Must...obey...\""|ep2d2_restaurant_failure_stoic_spanking_1]]"Scarlet Moon?

I'm tired of your grimy fingers sullying it." Scarlet Moon walked forward, $her hands dropping from the cord. Succubus unwound the whip from around Scarlet Moon's neck, and walked around the super$heroine. She gave Scarlet Moon's <<baring 'exposed' ' barely clad'>> bottom a sharp smack. "Hmm. You'll make for a wonderful little worm won't you? The very city will bow to me with you at my feet, won't it? But first, you must be punished for daring to assault your Mistress. Touch your toes."

"Come on Scarlet Moon, snap out of it. You're supposed to be kicking butt, not becoming the toy of some lunatic in a mask." There was a faint whistle, and a sharp sting bloomed on Scarlet Moon's right cheek. Succubus' crop descended over and over and over, the small leather square alternating between bare cheeks, scattering pinpricks of pain all over Scarlet Moon's <<fat>> naked buttocks. "You have been very, very naughty Scarlet Moon," said Succubus as she whipped the $heroine's upthrust bottom. "Here I was, quietly enjoying some dinner, and then you had to burst in and wreck the place. What have I ever done to you? Hmm?" Scarlet Moon mewled in pain after a particularly sharp stroke to $her sitspot. "Don't you dare make a sound," said Succubus. "You are to take your punishment like a good little worm." Two rapid fire strokes struck the exact spot that triggered Scarlet Moon's mewling. Scarlet Moon rocked a little, but didn't make a sound. [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_restaurant_failure_stoic_spanking_3]]"Very good. Now where were we? Oh yes." Succubus lashed Scarlet Moon's left cheek with four fast strokes, and did the same to $her right.

And I'm going to show you what happens to <<female 'tarts in lingerie' 'stripper boys'>> with delusions of grandeur!" Juliana screamed. Scarlet Moon cried out in pain, hunkering down and clutching $her ear. The agony blew away whatever fog Succubus had put in $her mind. "I told you not to make a sound!" snapped Succubus, whipping the crop towards Scarlet Moon's right cheek. Scarlet Moon pivoted and fell into a crouch. $Her eyes blazed, and a blinding scarlet beam smashed into Succubus and sent her flying through three tables.

The thug swung, but Scarlet Moon ducked the clumsy right hook, and punched her in the chest with a fist swirling with scarlet energies. The thug flew through the door and smashed into the greeting lecturn. Scarlet Moon dashed into the restaurant.

As Scarlet Moon sailed over her, the thug smacked Scarlet Moon's <<sexycostume 'exposed bottom' ' bottom'>> with superhuman force. Scarlet Moon yelped, and let go of the cord to clutch $her bottom. $She skidded into the restaurant and smashed through the greeter's podium, two tables, the bar, and slammed into the big ol'wall of expensive drinks with a tinkling crash. "Minion!" barked Succubus. "Be more careful. You just wasted thousands of dollars of delicious alcohol." Scarlet Moon staggered to $her feet.

This isn't one of those emperor's new clothes things is it? Because that'd be hella awkward." "No. This is one of those beat-you-enslave-you-and-get-back-to-dinner things." Succubus threw back her cape to reveal a very thick bullwhip coiled at her hip. <<include ep2d2_restaurant_success_snarky_spanking>>Scarlet Moon fired a short beam at Succubus, but Succubus was already twisting to the side, and snapping her whip at Scarlet Moon's face. Scarlet Moon raised $her arm, and the whip wrapped around $her forearm. "Come to Mistress!" hissed Succubus, yanking back on the whip. "No." Scarlet Moon took a step and snapped $her arm backwards. Succubus stumbled forward, the whip flying from her hand. Scarlet Moon dashed forward and grabbed a handful of the supervillain's long, flowing black locks. Scarlet Moon bent Succubus over a nearby table, and tossed her cape to the side, exposing the villain's firm, round, tanned bottom. $She spanked Succubus with table-jarring smacks. Succubus howled and bucked as her voluptuous bottom bounced beneath the heavy strokes. "Let go of me you duck-loving witch!" "Not until your bottom is as red as my costume," said Scarlet Moon. "We'll see about that," snarled Succubus. A pair of arms wrapped around Scarlet Moon and dragged $her away from Succubus. "Don't you dare lay a hand on Mistress!" The other minion ran up and punched Scarlet Moon in the face, and uppercutted $herm in the belly. Scarlet Moon kicked the minion in the chest, sending her flying into Succubus. The minion holding Scarlet Moon pivoted and threw $her through another table, sending the occupants diving for cover. Scarlet Moon leapt to $her feet and faced off against Succubus, who stood with her hands on her hips and her face beet red. Her whip once more hung loosely in one hand. Her minions flanked her, hands cocked and ready for a grapple. [["\"Play time's over Succubus.\""|ep2d2_restaurant_success_serious_spanking_1a]] [["\"You will pay for your crimes Succubus.

Scarlet Moon walked into the restaurant. Succubus sat at Phillipa's table, her feet up on Phillipa's back, who hunkered down on all fours in front of the supervillain. Succubus' eyes widened when Scarlet Moon strode in, her feet swinging off of Phillipa's back. A flicker of movement drew Scarlet Moon's eyes. One of the minions was leveling a particle beam at the superhero. A scarlet beam turned the gun to slag. Another thug charged, baseball bat held above her head. A scarlet beam to the chest took her down before she even got close.

"I insist!" <<include ep2d2_restaurant_success_snarky_spanking>>"No." Succubus pushed herself to her feet, and threw back her cape to reveal a large bullwhip.

Scarlet Moon cried out, $her hand lancing up to cup $her eye. $Her other slipped and $she fell off the roof. $She started to fling out a scarlet cord, but another stun beam jolted $herm. $She slammed into the concrete. The minion grabbed $herm by the leg and flung $herm into the restaurant. Scarlet Moon landed butt-first on the tile floor, and $her <<baring 'bare' ' thinly-clad'>> cheeks slid and bounced across the slick tiles. "Well, what do we have here?" Succubus swung her feet off of Phillipa's back and stood up. "Is it, could it be? Yes indeed, it's the Scandalous Scarlet Moon. What a pleasant surprise." Succubus bowed with a flourish.

Stun beams splattered across the building as Scarlet Moon grabbed a window ledge, and flung $herself the rest of the way up the building. $She grabbed the roof edge and swung up onto the roof, then sprinted across it, firing a small globe of scarlet energy off northwest, towards First and Washington. "There $she goes," cried a police officer. "You two chase after $herm! The rest of us will investigate the restaurant." Scarlet Moon dampened $her glow, and dropped into the alley. A quick change later, and $she was once more $name, boring ol' college student working a boring ol' part-time job. "Good job," said Juliana. "Let's just hope the police can hold her." $name grunted. [["\"Hah!

Well, I can do that too!" snarled Succubus. Scarlet Moon struck Succubus' rapidly reddening right cheek, with $her paddle, making the soft, fleshy orb bounce. $She followed up with a stroke to the left cheek, making that soft orb bounce too. Succubus' legs kicked, and her right heel flew off and bounced off Scarlet Moon's face. Scarlet Moon unleashed a cascade of bum rocking smacks, making the pink flesh ripple like a pond in a thunderstorm. "Owwwwwwwww!" Succubus thrashed and wiggled beneath the flashing paddle. "Stop it, stop it! Oww oww! I said-owww!-stop it! Waaaagh! You'll regret- aaaaaagh!" Scarlet Moon battered the villain's sitspots. "You can just go right on to hell," snarled Succubus. "Oww! You think the police-oww-can hold me? Think again! Waagh! When I get out of this, I'm gonna-oww-gonna-oww-gonna-oww-MAKE SURE YOU-OWW!-DON'T SIT FOR-OWW-A-MONTH! Owwww!" Scarlet Moon sighed. "Very well." Succubus eeped. Scarlet Moon smashed $her paddle into Succubus' red ass cheek. Succubus howled, jerking forward beneath the blow. Alas, it was the first of many. Over and over again the paddle whacked Succubus' cherry-red cheeks, quickly turning them a deep scarlet. At first, Succubus kicked, squealed and snarled. She kicked and squealed. She kicked and sobbed. She sobbed. Scarlet Moon stopped and dissipated the scarlet paddle. $She patted Succubus' scarlet red bottom, making the villain twitch and hiss. [["\"Now, say you're sorry.\""|ep2d2_victory_spanking_2_stoic_2]] [["\"Apologize villain, and show me you have learned your lesson.\""|ep2d2_victory_spanking_2_stoic_2]] [["\"Apologize.\""|ep2d2_victory_spanking_2_stoic_2]]"Please, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just stop!" Scarlet Moon dumped Succubus on the ground. $She snagged the villain's dropped bullwhip with a crimson cord and hogtied the villain with it. A siren wailed from just outside the door. "This is the police! Come out with your hands up!" Scarlet Moon looked towards the door. $She ran out of the restaurant, and leaped up the side of the building. "It's Scarlet Moon," cried one of the officers. "Bring $herm down," barked another. Stun beams splattered across the building as Scarlet Moon grabbed a window ledge, and flung $herself the rest of the way up the building. $She grabbed the roof edge and swung up onto the roof, then sprinted across it, firing a small globe of scarlet energy off northwest, towards First and Washington. "There $she goes past," cried a police officer. "You two chase after $herm! The rest of us will investigate the restaurant." Scarlet Moon dampened $her glow, and dropped into the alley. A quick change later, and $she was once more $name, boring ol' college student working a boring ol' part-time job. "Good job," said Juliana. "Let's just hope the police can hold her." $name grunted.

Scarlet Moon staggered backwards and fell on $her butt. The room spun, and $her limbs felt like noodles. Succubus stood in front of the helpless $heroine, legs apart and hands on cocked hips. She smirked. "Well, well. Looks like the 'Spectacular Scarlet Moon' isn't so spectacular, is $she?" Succubus slid one fingertip across her lips. "You know what happens next?" <<set $defeat to $defeat + 1>> <<set $spankee to $spankee + 1>> <<modifySore 1>> [[Kick Succubus in the taco.|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_snarky]] [["\"Do what you will, but know that you won't win!

"You are an idiot," said Juliana. Succubus' face twisted with rage. She grabbed Scarlet Moon by the hair and dragged $herm to an upended bar stool. She snapped her finger and pointed at the stool. A nearby patron hastily righted the stool and backed away. Succubus clambered onto the stool, lifted the defeated $heroine by $her armpits and tossed $herm across her lap. Scarlet Moon grabbed the stool legs for balance, while $her legs dangled in empty air. Succubus clamped her left hand over the small of Scarlet Moon's back, and walloped Scarlet Moon's elevated <<sexycostume 'bare' 'spandex-clad'>> buttocks with the other. Scarlet Moon's eyes widened, and $her grip tightened on the stool legs. $She could feel $her soft bottom cave and bounce back with every stinging stroke. "How dare you," said Succubus in a low, rough voice. [["\"Oh come on. The way you were standing? How could I not?\""|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_snarky_1]] [["\"Wasn't that hard. Kinda big target, to be honest.\""|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_snarky_1]]Scarlet Moon winced, and one foot twitched after a particular sharp smack to $her bare sit spot. Succubus' long-fingered hand cracked against Scarlet Moon's <<sexycostume 'bare' 'thinly protected'>> cheeks, leaving behind long-fingered palm prints. "I've had enough of your sass. When-" "Nobody ever has enough of my sass," said Scarlet Moon. $She looked over $her shoulder and winked at the villain. "We'll see about that." Succubus grabbed Scarlet Moon's hair, and lifted $her head up, forcing the super$heroine to look out across the shocked, scared, and even miffed faces of the restaurant's ritzy clientele. She peppered Scarlet Moon's <<baring 'exposed' ' barely clad'>> bottom with quick, stinging strokes. Scarlet Moon's plushy cheeks roiled beneath the villain's flat palm. Scarlet Moon winced. $Her hips rocked a little. $Her feet kicked just a hair. And $her fingers ached, so strongly did $she grip the stool legs. "Have you had enough yet?" snarled Succubus. "Yes! Yes!" cried Scarlet Moon. "Good. Now-" "My spleen! Never have I faced a bad guy with such bony knees," wailed Scarlet Moon. Juliana snickered. Succubus snarled. "My knees are not bony." [["\"Say that to my small intestine!\""|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_snarky_1a]] [["\"Well something sure as hell is!\""|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_snarky_1a]]Scarlet Moon groaned and rocked back and forth on Succubus' lap. "I'm not one to call an OTK spanking inhumane, but damn girl." Succubus gave Scarlet Moon's hair a savage yank, and smashed her palm into Scarlet Moon's vulnerable posterior with fast, full-armed smacks. Scarlet Moon clamped $her teeth together to keep from crying out. $Her toes curled in $her boots, and $her legs tensed. Tears gathered at the corner of $her eyes. The deafening crack of hard-swung palm against reddening flesh bounced against the restaurant walls, assaulting Scarlet Moon's ears as vigorously as the villain's hand assaulted $her bottom. "Had enough yet?" shrieked Succubus, shaking Scarlet Moon's head back and forth. Scarlet Moon barely contained a whimper as strands of hair were pulled from $her scalp. "Had enough yet?" The stool legs snapped beneath Scarlet Moon's grip, and the two went crashing to the ground in a heap. Scarlet Moon smashed an elbow into Succubus' armpit, and rolled off the villain. [["\"The stool certainly has.\""|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_end]] [["\"Yes.\""|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_end]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_end]]Scarlet Moon ran out into the street. Sirens blared, and a spotlight shone in $her face. "This is the police! Surrender now!" Scarlet Moon leapt into the air and snagged a faint cord around a nearby lamppost. $She zipped straight up into the air. A stun beam struck $her leg, numbing it through $her weak, flickering shield. $She swung up onto a window ledge, leapt onto another, and hauled $herself up onto the roof. $She dimmed $her forcefield, and with a grunt of effort, fired off a small scarlet orb to the northeast. "There $she goes!" shouted an officer below. "Squads two and four, follow $herm!" Scarlet Moon half-limped, half-crawled to the far side of the roof, and slowly lowered $herself down into the alley. By the time $she landed, feeling had mostly returned to $her leg. It was a bit sore, but $she could walk on it without a limp. [[Get changed.|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_end_1]]$She pulled off $her costume and threw $her uniform back on, pausing only to give $her sore ass a quick rub. "Coulda told me the cops had shown up." "I tried, you didn't hear me over egging Succubus on like an idiot," said Juliana. "She may have been giving the spanking, but she was not in control." $name patted $her hair down, and slipped around to the back entrance. "What's going on out front?" "Generica News have got a coptor out there right now, and are showing the front of the building. Succubus is walking out and...she's just walking away." "Figures. I'll talk to you later. And Juliana?" "Yeah?" [["\"This chick scares me far more than Buzzsaw ever did.\""|ep2d2_restaurant_post_succubus]] [["\"I'm not resting until we bring that lunatic down.\""|ep2d2_restaurant_post_succubus]] [["\"Nevermind.

Succubus bent over and squeezed Scarlet Moon's cheek like an aunt squeezing a <<female 'nieces's' 'nephew's'>>. "Here you are, lying at my feet, weak as a newborn babe and you still think you'll win." Scarlet Moon reached up with a shaking hand and tried to push the hand away. "You..really think ... you'll be able... to just walk ... out of here?" Succubus smiled. "Of course. You don't think I'm worried about the police are you? Silly superhero. The only person who had a snowball's shot in hell of stopping me is now lying at my feet, about to get $her bare bottom smacked." Succubus grabbed Scarlet Moon by the hair and dragged $herm towards the bar. "Don't try to fight," said Juliana quietly. "Your body is recharging even as we speak. Wait until you have enough energy to escape, and then get the hell out of there." Succubus lifted Scarlet Moon by the back of $her costume and bent $herm over the bar. Scarlet Moon wiggled in a vain attempt to ease the wood digging into $her <<sexycostume 'bare belly' ' belly'>>. $Her legs dangled uselessly, the toes of $her boots bopping against the edge of the bar. $She was face to face with the bartender, hunched down behind the counter and shaking. "My goodness, just look at this delighful bottom." Succubus <<sexycostume 'ran the tip of her riding crop along the curve of Scarlet Moon\'s generous cheek.' 'gathered some of the material and yanked it up into a wedgie, fully exposing Scarlet Moon\'s bottom.'>> "So <<fat>>, round and <<fat>>. Tell me, how well does it jiggle?" Succubus landed a stinging open-palmed smack to Scarlet Moon's right cheek. [["\"My ass does not jiggle!\""|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_serious_1]] [[Grimace.|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_serious_1]]"Oh, it jiggles delightfully. No wonder you flaunt it so. I would too if I had an ass as nice as yours. Oh wait, I do!" Succubus whipped Scarlet Moon's right cheek with her crop. "Now, it's time to pay the price of fighting me, the Salacious Succubus!" Succubus thrashed Scarlet Moon's bottom with the crop, its small leather square leaving stinging kisses on Scarlet Moon's bare skin. "So tell me, have I won yet?" "Just say yes," murmured Juliana. "Let her gloat." "You will never win," said Scarlet Moon. $She craned $her neck over $her shoulder and glared at the supervillain. "Never!" Juliana sighed. "Well, it's your butt." Succubus tsked. "I wonder are you a unique breed of stupid, or just defiant? Let's find out!" Succubus lashed Scarlet Moon's bare bottom with her crop. Scarlet Moon winced and hissed. $Her toes curled, and $her legs kicked a little. $Her hips rocked, and $her fingers dug into the counter behind the bar. $Her bottom burned with every lash. "Oh my," said Succubus, digging her fingers into Scarlet Moon's tender cheeks. "Your bottom sure does turn red quick doesn't it? No wonder they call you Scarlet Moon." Scarlet Moon kicked at Succubus, and hit empty air. "Unique breed of stupid apparently. Alas, I hear there's only one cure." Succubus whipped the crop across Scarlet Moon's <<fat>> bottom as fast as her arm could move. "Continuous beatings!" [["\"Owwwwww!\""|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_serious_2]] [["\"Grrooww! You--aggh!\""|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_serious_2]] [[Hiccup, and try to fight back tears.|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_serious_2]]"What's that I hear?" Succubus paused. Scarlet Moon took a deep breath, relishing a moment where Succubus was not actively adding to the sting suffusing the $heroine's outthrust bottom. "Is that...contrition? Is our bare-bottomed $heroine learning the error of $her ways?" Scarlet Moon clamped $her mouth shut. "Well?" Succubus whipped her crop across Scarlet Moon's ass. "Are you sorry yet?" "Never!" "Alas, I foresee minimal sitting in your future." The riding crop lashed Scarlet Moon's bottom a dozen times in half the time. Scarlet Moon twitched and squirmed beneath the stinging smacks. $Her jaw ached, so tightly did $she clench it. $Her fingers dug into the edge of the bar until the wood snapped. Scarlet Moon stared down at the bits of wood in $her hands. "What was that?" asked Succubus. Scarlet Moon unleashed a brief, blinding flare. "Agh, my eyes!" cried Succubus. Scarlet Moon rolled onto $her back and kicked Succubus in the chest, sending the villain sprawling. [["\"Ok, this was fun, but it's past my bedtime.\""|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_end]] [["\"You'll regret this Succubus, I swear it.\""|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_end]] [["\"Enough!\""|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_end]]"Ah yes, the strong silent type." Succubus grabbed Scarlet Moon by the hair and forced $herm to $her feet. "Well, you're not particularly strong." Succubus bent over and rammed her shoulder into Scarlet Moon's stomach. Scarlet Moon gasped and hunched over, the air bursting from $her lungs. Succubus wrapped her arms around the base of Scarlet Moon's bare ass and lifted $herm up, effortlessly tossing Scarlet Moon over her shoulder. <<baring 'Succubus traced a finger along the curve of Scarlet Moon\'s thong.' 'Succubus gathered the thin material of Scarlet Moon\'s costume and yanked it up, shoving the material up Scarlet Moon\'s butt and exposing a pair of very vulnerable cheeks.'>> There was a sharp crack, and Scarlet Moon grimaced as a sting spread across the sensitive bare skin of $her left buttock. "Let's see how silent you are after being draped over my shoulder and given a hard spanking right in the middle of the restaurant." Succubus did a gleeful little skip. "Hold onto your butt Scarlet Brat. This is gonna hurt." A staccato series of swats echoed off the restaurant walls as Succubus battered Scarlet Moon's bare bottom with bottom-bouncing blows. Scarlet Moon winced and twitched, while $her bottom <<jiggly>> and <<jiggly>> beneath Succubus' hard palm. "Oh sure you act all stoic, but I know the truth." Succubus smacked Scarlet Moon's right sitspot, sending a vicious sting racing through the poor $heroine's exposed bottom. "But I can feel you twitching. Come on now, squeal. Squeal like a virigin-bottomed schoolgirl getting her first ever spanking." [["\"No.\""|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_stoic_1]] [[Grind your teeth together.|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_stoic_1]]Other than that, Scarlet Moon didn't make a sound. Not when Succubus unleashed a barrage of hard smacks to the middle of $her cheeks, not when she battered Scarlet Moon's sitspots until they burned like fire, not even when she whapped Scarlet Moon's thighs until they stung like bee stings. "Grr. Squeal damn you," said Succubus, her palm cracking against Scarlet Moon's bare sitspots, the $heroine's <<bodytype 'small;average' 'big' 'huge'>> bottom caving beneath each smack. Scarlet Moon's legs twitched. "Hah! I saw that," said Succubus, increasing the pace of her stinging smacks. "I'll have you wailing and squawling in no time!" Scarlet Moon's jaw clamped so tightly it began to ache. $Her fists clenched helplessly. A cry began to form deep in $her throat. With every bum-rattling smack it got higher, higher, until it was pressing against $her teeth. The fire built and built in Scarlet Moon's crimson bottom. It was inevitable. Soon, $she wouldn't be able to contain it. Soon $she'd give that- Scarlet Moon's fists began to glow. A pair of scarlet cords snapped out of $her wrists and wrapped themselves around Succubus' ankles. $She wrenched $her arms back with all $her might. "What-waah!" Succubus faceplanted into the wooden floor. Scarlet Moon rammed $her elbow into Succubus' kindney, gave her bare ass a hard smack, and then rolled off of her. [["\"Nice squeal.\""|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_end]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_restaurant_defeat_end]]$name entered the lounge room, dropped $her backpack back off and returned to the main room. "There you are." Vanessa appeared out of nowhere and pulled $name into a deep hug. "Where the hell did you go? I was so worried!" "I just did what any sensible $woman would do. I ran and hid," said $name, returning the fierce hug. "I snuck back in when I saw Scarlet Moon swing off. Is everyone ok?" "Well, you need to teach me your crazy hiding powers," said Vanessa. "I nearly got my head taken off by one of those crazy beams fired by that Scarlet <<female 'chick' ' dude'>>." [["\"Really? I don't-I mean, are you OK?\""|ep2d2_restaurant_post_succubus_2]] [["\"Oh crap, were you hurt?\""|ep2d2_restaurant_post_succubus_2]] [["\"You ok?\""|ep2d2_restaurant_post_succubus_2]]"Yeah I'm fine. I just..." Vanessa took a deep breath, and wiped her eyes. "Starting to get tired of all the crazy ass super dicks coming out of the woodwork, you know? Feels like I'm in a comic book." "Oh good, you've found $herm," said Mrs. Rossi, approaching. "Where did you go?" $name smiled nervously. "I guess, I just got scared and slipped out. Am I in trouble?" Mrs. Rossi shook her head. "Can't really blame you for sneaking out like that. Might have drawn Succubus', or whatever stupid name she used, attention but at least you didn't have a front row seat for a super-powered throw down. Enough chatter though. We've got some serious cleanup to do, and I'm sure the police will want some statements." $name and Vanessa didn't leave the restaurant until after midnight, both too tired to say anything as Juliana drove them home. Fortunately, working was a perfectly acceptable reason for not being in by curfew, so the RA on duty didn't delay them more than a moment. As soon as they were in their dorm room, Vanessa made a beeline for her room, and vanished with a soft click. [["\"My bed calls for me. Caaalls fooor meee...\""|ep2d2_restaurant_post_succubus_1a]] [["\"I'm going to bed.\""|ep2d2_restaurant_post_succubus_1a]]Juliana took $name's arm and guided $herm to her room. "Come on Juliana, I'm tired," said $name. "Just a little bit longer. This is important." Juliana pulled $name into her room and closed the door. <<if $ep2d2succubusvictory>> <<include 'ep2d2_home_victory'>> <<else>> <<include ep2d2_home_defeat>> <</if>>"Looks like you were right." Juliana's computer was opened to the Generica News website in the middle of a paused video. "Not long after the police picked her up, Succubus enchanted them and walked off. Looks like after a superhuman is defeated, they only lose their powers for a short time." $name flopped down on Juliana's bed. "So in other words, a supervillain shows up, I beat them by the skin of my teeth, and fifteen minutes later they're on the street again." "On the bright side, if they beat you, you won't be helpless for long," said Juliana with a smile. [["You're right! That's great news! Your words fill me with overwhelming glee!|ep2d2_home_victory_1]] [["\"How comforting.\""|ep2d2_home_victory_1]] [[Glare at her.|ep2d2_home_victory_1]]Juliana's smile faded.

Juliana guided $name towards the bed. She opened a small freezer wedged between her dresser and desk. "Lay down and bare your bottom. I have a few ice packs." "Hope you got enough to freeze the Sahara." $name clambered onto the bed, pulled <<female 'up' 'down'>> $her <<female 'skirt,' 'pants'>> and <<female 'lowered her' ''>> $underwear, exposing a pair of cheeks you could fry an egg on. Juliana draped $name's blazing bottom with a few paper towels, followed by the icepacks. "Prett sure I do at that." $name sighed. "Thanks." "No problem." Juliana sat down at her computer chair. "So that could have gone better." [["\"She's powerful. In a completely different way than Buzzsaw.

"Apparently, about a month ago, barely a few days after we got out powers, this woman attempted to find some VC funding for her 'pharmaceutical' company. Phillipa Silver was the only one to agree to provide any sort of funding at all. She was also, incidentally, the only one to meet Melissa in person." "Makes sense," said $name. "Indeed. However, barely two weeks in, Silver had a change of heart, and pulled her funding." "That explains why she was so interested in Ms. Silver." $name ran a hand through $her hair. "She's probably pissed." "Uh-huh." Juliana spun back to $her computer. [["\"'Uh-huh?' What's the uh-huh?

"Carmine's little company is in some pretty serious financial straits. Like, facing bankruptcy financial straits." "So she robs a restaurant patronized by the richest people in the city," said $name. Juliana shook her head. "That's all chump change to a business with massive and ever-rising debts. No, Carmine has her sights set on something bigger." [["\"Like what?\""|ep2d2_succubus_next_target]] [["\"Any idea what she has in mind?\""|ep2d2_succubus_next_target]]Juliana shrugged. "I don't know yet. Why don't you go get some sleep, while I try to figure out her next move." "Oh thank God, finally." $name returned to $her room. <<if $ep2d2_vanessa_spanking>> <<include 'ep2d2_vanessa_spanking_time'>> <<else>> <<include ep2d2_end>> <</if>>Vanessa stood outside $name's door, clad only in a nightshirt that barely covered her bottom, dry-washing her hands. "What are you doing-ohh, right," said $name, scrubbing $her face with $her hand. "I'm supposed to spank you because--why am I spanking you again?" Vanessa's lip quirked. "Yeah, it has been one of those days hasn't it? I forgot to give you a proper orientation remember?" "Oh yes." $name rubbed $her bottom. "I remember now. Into the common room." "The common room?" said Vanessa, sagging. "Can't we do it in your room?" "You get me spanked in public, I spank you in public. Besides, everyone's probably asleep," said $name. "Oh come on. I didn't really have a choice," said Vanessa, following $name into the common room. $name sat down on the couch and patted $her lap. Vanessa sighed, but obediently laid across $name's knees, the lower curve of her ample bottom peeking out from underneath the thin cloth of her nightshirt. $name lifted the nightshirt to reveal a pair of pale, slightly quivering cheeks framed by a black thong. "Let me guess, you'd rather not flash all your secrets at me." "I'd prefer not to," said Vanessa, squirming a little. "Please?" [["\"Well, I guess I can be merciful.\""|ep2d2_vanessa_spanking_time_1]] [["\"Seeing as how cooperative you're being, don't see any reason to.\""|ep2d2_vanessa_spanking_time_1]] [["\"Sure.\""|ep2d2_vanessa_spanking_time_1]]$name struck Vanessa's right cheek. Vanessa's bottom barely moved. "Oww!" said $name, shaking $her palm. "Do you do squats in your sleep? Your ass is hard as steel!" "I highly value the myriad benefits of exercise?" asked Vanessa. "So does Juliana, but her ass isn't made of titanium," said $name. Vanessa shrugged. "Should I go find an implement?" "Nah, I want to go to bed," said $name. $She swathed $her hand in a very faint scarlet shield, so faint that it wasn't visible in the common room light. $She struck Vanessa's right cheek again. Vanessa bounced against $name's thighs, her bum wobbling beneath the smack. A very visible handprint had already formed on her pale skin. "Oww! If my bottom is made of titanium than what's your hand made of?" [["\"Harder titanium.\""|ep2d2_vanessa_spanking_time_2]] [["\"Discipline.\""|ep2d2_vanessa_spanking_time_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d2_vanessa_spanking_time_2]]$name gave Vanessa's left cheek a handprint to match her right. Vanessa squealed, and scissor-kicked. "Oh come on, it's only been two smacks," said $name. $She gave Vanessa's right cheek three rapid fire smacks, and her left three rapid fire smacks. Vanessa squirmed, her bouncing bottom swaying across $name's thighs. "Yeah, but nobody's hand hurts like yours! What are you doing?" "Giving you a sound spanking. What does it feel like?" $name battered Vanessa's bobbing bottom, $her palm alternating rapidly between the roiling cheeks, filling the common room with the crisp crack of bare hand to bare bottom. Vanessa squealed and yelped and even screeched once or twice. Her legs kicked madly, nearly hitting $name in the head a couple of times. Her fingers dug into the couch cushions. A bedroom door opened and Alexandra stuck her head out. "Hey, keep it down out there. Some of us have an eight o'clock class tomorrow!" $name and Vanessa shared a look. "You have an eight o'clock class?" asked Vanessa. "Hey, it wasn't my choice. Only time they offered it that fit my schedule. Now shut up before I tan both your asses!" Alexandra sucked her head back into her room and shut her door. Vanessa grabbed a pillow off of the couch and buried her head in it. "How much more do I have?" $name ran a hand across Vanessa's cooked cheeks. [["\"Aw hell, I don't know. I'm making this up as I go along.\""|ep2d2_vanessa_spanking_time_3]] [["\"Oh, not too much more.\""|ep2d2_vanessa_spanking_time_3]] [["\"You'll just have to see.\""|ep2d2_vanessa_spanking_time_3]]$name raised $her hand and resumed. Vanessa squealed into the pillow, her hips bucking and rocking, while her bottom roiled and jumped beneath $name's punishing palm. It wasn't long before the overlapping handprints adorning the young woman's pale bottom merged into a generic redness. "Alright, six more." $name unleashed six rapid fire smacks, three to Vanessa's right cheek, and three to her left. Vanessa yelped into the pillow, her toes curling, and her feet pounding against the couch cushions. "Alright, we're done." Vanessa clambered off of $name's lap, and gave her hot bottom a vigorous rubbing. Her face was almost as red. "Wow, that hurt. That hurt more than Mrs. Rossi! How-" $name shrugged. "I don't know? Some sort of technique? Just spank the way my mom does." "I see. Well, please don't teach anyone your technique," said Vanessa. $name laughed, and stood. "Don't you worry about that. Talk about backfire." Vanessa smiled, though it quickly faded. "I am sorry about earlier." "Don't worry about it." The two shared a brief hug. "Have a good night." "Have a good night. Vanessa hurried back to her room. $name returned to $her own and slipped into some pajamas. <<set $spanker to $spanker + 1>> [["\"Here's hoping those eyes stay out of my dreams.\""|ep2d2_end]] [["\"At last, sweet sleep.\""|ep2d2_end]] [[Go to sleep.|ep2d2_end]]<<include 'ep2d3_start'>>"$name, $name wake up." $name groaned and rolled away from the voice. Someone shook $herm. "Go 'way." $Her covers vanished. "What the hell?" $name sat up and glared at Juliana, who stood in the middle of the room. $She peered at the clock. "It's four o'clock in the morning." "Come on. I know where Succubus is going next." Juliana grabbed $name and pulled $herm out of bed. "We don't have a lot of time." Juliana slid into her computer chair. "Tomorrow, er today, at 8:00 am, Phillipa Silver is holding an event with the founders of the dozen or so startups she's giving Angel funds to. I think Succubus is going to crash their little party." "How do you know?" <<if $ep2tookbook>> <<include 'ep2d3_start_book'>> <<else>> <<include 'ep2d3_start_computer'>> <</if>>"Because Silver used to fund Succubus' little snake oil shop." Juliana pulled out the small ledger and flipped to a page near the back. "Except that funding dried up recently, and now Megawater's in serious financial straits." [["\"Phillipa Silver fell for a snake oil salesman?\""|ep2d3_start_snake_oil]] [["\"Did Succubus charm Silver or something?\""|ep2d3_start_snake_oil]] [["\"I wonder if Silver knew Succubus had superpowers...\""|ep2d3_start_snake_oil]]Juliana pulled up some schematics on her computer. "I found this on Succubus' computer. Schematics of Silver Tower, an e-mail from two weeks ago inviting her to the founders event, and then another e-mail from a week or so ago rescinding the invitation. It looks like Silver provided some Angel funding to Megawaters, but rescinded it." [["\"Phillipa Silver fell for a snake oil salesman?\""|ep2d3_start_snake_oil]] [["\"Did Succubus charm Silver or something?\""|ep2d3_start_snake_oil]] [["\"I wonder if Silver knew Succubus had superpowers...\""|ep2d3_start_snake_oil]]Juliana shrugged. "Silver only started funding Succubus last month, after you and Buzzsaw made your grand debuts. In a world where people can shoot energy beams from their eyes and cut open trucks with their hair, is miracle water really so far fetched?" "So, why'd you wake me up? Could have waited until like six. Maybe even seven." "Well, I considered waking you up even earlier, but decided you needed the sleep more than anything else." "I appreciate it," said $name dryly. "I've been thinking about this." Juliana pushed her chair away from the computer. "The way I see it, we have two choices: try to hit Succubus before the party, or reach out to Phillipa Silver. See if we can lay a trap." "Oh yes, that'll work. She'll probably just call the cops." "Then we'll back off. I doubt it though. Not if we tell her who is behind Succubus' mask. Besides, you saved her daughter. That's gotta count for something." $name flung $herself onto Juliana's bed. $She put one hand behind $her head. "It's up to you. You're the one in the foxhole. If we can nail Succubus now, we won't have to skip class, and there won't be any highly trained bodyguards around. But the only place we really know to look is her office." "In other words, it could be a waste of time." "Yes. Meanwhile, if we go talk to Silver, I think there's a pretty good chance she'll help us. But it still means you'll have a superhuman throwdown surrounded by civilians. What do you think?" [["\"Goddammit.\""|ep2d3_start_snake_oil_1]] [["\"All just a waste of time.\""|ep2d3_start_snake_oil_1]] [[Massage your eyes.|ep2d3_start_snake_oil_1]]"What's wrong?" "What does it matter?" asked $name. "Either way, I'm going to have to fight Succubus again. I don't know that I can stop her. She just, she just wore me down. And when I couldn't resist anymore, I spent more time over her knee than I did punching her." "So spank her back," said Juliana. $name blinked. "Look, she's basically a superpowered dominatrix right? Well, how intimidating do *you* think a dominatrix is with a red bottom?" $name tapped $her lips. $She wove $her shield into a scarlet paddle, and dissipated it. "Yeah, I could try that." "Great. So, Megawater or Silver?" [["\"Let's hit Megawater. I don't wanna miss my Java discussion section. David's scary.\""|ep2d3_megawater_headquarters]] [["\"Megawater.

Could be a useful ally.\""|ep2d3_silver]]Juliana pushed her chair to her closet and flung it open. "I made some changes to your costume while you were asleep." She tossed a costume to $name. The only difference $name could find were the eyeholes: rather than being ski-mask style gaps, they now had thin white plastic in them. "Clear plastic 'painted' with sharpie on the inside. See-through, and hopefully they'll dull Succubus' gaze. Make you look a bit less like a crappy cosplayer and more like an actual superhero too. Added a radio transmitter to the mask itself. I added some small cameras I'd been working on the past month. I should be able to see whatever you're seeing now." Forty-five minutes later, Scarlet Moon landed on the roof of the complex holding the Megawater offices. The backdoor was locked with a deadbolt, but a wafer of scarlet-whatever pushed it back into the door. Scarlet Moon stepped inside. Voices came from the door on the right. "This place ain't got shit," said an irritated female voice. "Watch the language," said another female voice. "Swearing isn't going to help." "Maybe not, but it sure makes me feel better." Scarlet Moon burst in, $her shields flaring. [["\"Surrender now foul villains!\""|ep2d3_megawater_confront]] [["\"Surrender, and nobody has to get hurt!\""|ep2d3_megawater_confront]] [["\"Awfully early to be picking up some water, don't you think?\""|ep2d3_megawater_confront]] [["\"Nobody move!\""|ep2d3_megawater_confront]] <<equipCostume>> <<set $ep2d3Megawater to true>>"Everyone say hello to Scarlet Moon. The <<female 'Queen' ' King'>> of Stealth," muttered Juliana. The two women spun, their particle guns whipping up. One was rather short, while the other was tall. The short one had chinlength red hair and a cute, freckled face. She was maybe 100 pounds soaking wet. The other had luxurious brown hair. She was also much more voluptuos than her partner, with ample breasts and curvy hips. Both wore skintight leather outfits that showed off every inch of their fit figures. <<if $ep1d2Fedora>> <<include 'ep2d3_megawater_confront_know'>> <<else>> <<include 'ep2d3_megawater_confront_dont_know'>> <</if>>"Oh for fuck's sake," said the redhead. "It's that lunatic in <<sexycostume 'lingerie' ' pajamas'>> again." "Hey, I'm not a lunatic," said Scarlet Moon, putting $her fists on $her hips. "You look familiar." "You stole my disguise last month," said the brunette dryly. "Oh yes, that's right," said Scarlet Moon. "You know, they said they didn't have anyone watching for cops. You aren't Whistlers at all." "Oh bravo." The redhead clapped her hands as well as she could while holding her particle stunner. "Only took the idiot like a month to figure it out." Scarlet Moon's eyes flared. [["\"That's big talk coming from a pint-sized package.\""|ep2d3_megawater_confront_know_1]] [["\"Insulting a superhero isn't a good idea.\""|ep2d3_megawater_confront_know_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_megawater_confront_know_1]]"Now, let's not get nasty," said the brunette. "We're all on the same team here." "Oh yes, because members of the same team totally attack each other and steal their shit," said the redhead. Scarlet Moon's eyes narrowed. "Cool it," said Juliana. "Try to find out who they are." "Who are you?" asked Scarlet Moon. "And why the interest in Buzzsaw and Succubus?" "Highly trained government agents," said the brunette. "Superspies if you will." "Yeah, we make the green berets look like a bunch of toddlers with plastic guns," said the redhead. "I see," said Scarlet Moon. "Well, I'm starting to feel a whole lot better about taking on elite bodyguards then." The redhead scowled. "You took us by surprise last time. In a fair fight, I'd spank you like a prankster in the principal's office." [["\"Ooh, I'm so scared.

She walked over to the desk. "We have more pressing concerns than your pride." The redhead's glare danced between Scarlet Moon and her partner. "Your partner's right." Scarlet Moon crossed $her arms and leaned against the doorjam. "I'll paddle you later." The brunette threw Scarlet Moon a sharp look. "Or yours." "Gonna have to agree with the brunette," said Juliana. "There isn't anything here," said the brunette, riffling through the papers on the desk. "Succubus doesn't seem to be a complete moron. But we have other sources. We know where she's going to strike next." "Awesome." Scarlet Moon pounded $her palm with $her fist. "Lay it on me, and I'll see to it Succubus doesn't sit her whole prison sentence." The redhead scoffed. "Yeah, like in the restaurant last night? It's a wonder nobody was hurt. And may God have mercy upon your soul if that place has to close." The brunette flicked her fingers. "That I'm not too worried about. It's a favorite of Silver's." "See? No harm no foul. So why don't-" "Not quite." The brunette held up a hand. "Look, our boss is less than thrilled about all the collateral damage, and how many civilians your antics have put at risk. Frankly, we're not sure we can trust you not to make things worse." [["\"And you expect me to...\""|ep2d3_megawater_confront_know_3]] [["\"I'm fighting supervillains. What do you expect?\""|ep2d3_megawater_confront_know_3]] [[Narrow your eyes.|ep2d3_megawater_confront_know_3]]"You could show a little concern for the innocent bystanders who might get caught in the crossfire for one." The brunette pulled a leather backpack off her shoulders and set it down at her feet. She pulled out a long, wide leather paddle, easily big enough, actually it looked *exactly* big enough, to cover Scarlet Moon's entire bottom with one swat. The redhead grinned. "You like it? The boss lady had it specially made just for you. 'Course it almost broke the budget. You wouldn't believe how much leather it takes to cover your fat ass." Scarlet Moon glared at the redhead. "You really think I'm going to just bend over and let you paddle me?" "Yes I do," said the brunette. "We can't in good conscience help you, unless you're willing to improve. Think of this paddling as being a commitment to becoming a better hero." "This is ridiculous." "Sorry." The brunette tapped the paddle against her palm. "What the boss lady says, goes." "Payback's a bitch isn't it?" asked the redhead. "Now Marie, no need to be so smug," said the brunette. "Oh come on, Dana. Like you aren't enjoying this too." The brunette smiled a little. "The brunette has a point," said Juliana. "The ginger can go jump in a lake." [["\"Fine. Where do you want me?\""|ep2d3_megawater_spanking]] [["\"No way. I'll take Succubus down without your help.\""|ep2d3_megawater_leave]] [["\"This is absurd.\""|ep2d3_attack_agents]]"Ohh, this is gonna be so much fun." Marie, the redhead, pulled a box of chocolate-covered raisinets out of her backpack and jumped into a nearby chair. "Good thing I brought a snack." "Whatever happened to 'this is gonna hurt me more than it does you?'" asked Scarlet Moon. "I never bought that malarky," said Marie. "Especially not when they use an implement. I mean sure their wrist might be a little sore afterwards, but my ass is never 'a little sore,' you know what I'm saying?" Dana patted the desk. Scarlet Moon sighed and stepped up to the edge. "Come on, hurry up." Dana struck Scarlet Moon's <<sexycostume 'bare' ' lightly clad'>> buttock with her palm. Scarlet Moon yelped, and $her hands snapped back to shield $her exposed cheeks. "Hey! If you were about to be smacked with that monster, you'd take your time too!" "I have. I didn't." "I have. I didn't," muttered Scarlet Moon mockingly. $She bent over the desk and buried $her face in $her folded arms. <<female 'Her breasts pressed against the hard wooden desk.' ''>> $Her bottom rounded behind $herm. $Her buttocks, <<sexycostume 'left completely bare by $her costume,' 'protected only by thin spandex,'>> quivered in dread anticipation. "Whoo hooh!" said Marie. "Check out *that* moon!" "Yes, yes 'Scarlet Moon' 'big red ass' hah hah you're so original," said Scarlet Moon. "Let's just get this over with. I've got a supervillain to stop." WHAP! [["\"Son of a bitch!\""|ep2d3_megawater_spanking_1]] [["\"Owwww!\""|ep2d3_megawater_spanking_1]]Scarlet Moon jumped off the desk. $Her hands snapped back to cover $her bottom and $she danced around the room. "Heh. Pansy." "Shut it red. Or we'll see how you like it." "I already know. Well, one a lot like it anyway. Your antics cost me twenty with a paddle a whole lot like that one. Except I didn't so much as wiggle." [["\"I can make you wiggle if you'd like!\""|ep2d3_megawater_spanking_1a]] [["\"With that flat little ass? Bullshit.\""|ep2d3_megawater_spanking_1a]] [[Glare and rub your bottom.|ep2d3_megawater_spanking_1a]]Dana, gestured to the desk with the paddle. "Try to stay in place. We don't have time for you to skip around with every stroke." "I'm with the secret agent. All the hopping around is giving me a headache," said Juliana. "So much shaky cam." Scarlet Moon grumbled something inappropriate and bent back over the desk. $She locked $her knees and grabbed the far edge of the desk. WHAP! Scarlet Moon gasped. $Her fingers dug into the desk, and $her bottom clenched. "What is that thing made of?" "Super secret spy stuff." Dana tapped the paddle lightly against Scarlet Moon's <<sexycostume 'exposed' 'lightly clad'>>, burning bottom. "Actually, it's just leather. Really, really well-made leather," said Marie. The paddle flattened Scarlet Moon's bottom a third time, the leather cool against $her skin even as it turned $her bottom molten. Scarlet Moon's feet hopped up and down, $her bottom wobbling with the motion. "How many of these am I expected to take?" asked Scarlet Moon. "Twenty," said Dana, tapping the paddle against the peak of Scarlet Moon's blazing buttocks. [["\"Twenty!\""|ep2d3_megawater_spanking_2]] [["\"Oh dear God.\""|ep2d3_megawater_spanking_2]] [[Whimper.|ep2d3_megawater_spanking_2]]"You'd be half done by now, you didn't keep stalling," said Marie. "Your friend's the one taking forever," said Scarlet Moon. The paddle struck Scarlet Moon's outthrust bottom. $She wailed and bucked frantically against the desk, $her <<sexycostume 'scarlet' ' spandex-clad'>> bottom wobbling. Tears gathered in the corners of $her eyes. The paddle struck again, and again, and again. Scarlet Moon bucked, wailed, and wiggled $her way through another half a dozen rapid-fire strokes. "That fast enough for you?" asked Dana, her breath coming a little bit heavily. Scarlet Moon took a deep, shuddering breath and wiped a few tears from $her eyes. [["\"You can slow down a little.\""|ep2d3_megawater_spanking_3]] [["\"Alright, you made your point!\""|ep2d3_megawater_spanking_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_megawater_spanking_3]]The remaining strokes were slower, more deliberate, and no less painful. Each stroke made Scarlet Moon yelp. Each stroke doubled the heat in Scarlet Moon's bottom. Each stroke sent Scarlet Moon into a squirming fit. "Alright, we're done," said Dana. "Already?" said Marie. "I'm only like halfway through my raisinets." "I'd be happy to produce a sequel," said Scarlet Moon. $She glared over $her shoulder at Marie as $she stood and rubbed $her blazing bottom. "We could call it Scarlet Moon 2: Redhead's Reckoning." Marie smirked. "Who's doing the reckoning I wonder?" "You took that admirably, for a random kid off the street with no training whatsoever." Dana returned the paddle to her backpack. "Gee thanks. I'm just full of the warm fuzzies. Now, where's Succubus?" "Sit down and we'll tell you." <<set $spankee to $spankee + 1>> <<modifySore 1>> [["\"I'll stand, thanks.\""|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush]] [["\"Very funny.\""|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush]] [[Sit down. Carefully.|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush]]A few hours later, Scarlet Moon hunkered on the rooftop of a building across from the police station. A helicopter whirled on the landing pad. Half a dozen figures milled about. "She there?" asked Juliana. "Not sure, they're kinda far away." Scarlet Moon narrowed $her eyes. "Wait, I see someone with a cape, yeah I think she's there, just like the superspies said." Scarlet Moon coiled $her legs, and leapt. $She snapped a cord against the police station and zipped forward. $She slapped $her feet against the side of the building and flipped up onto the roof. [["\"God I love having superpowers.\""|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush_1]] [["\"Succubus!\""|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush_1]]Succubus stood just in front of the helicopter. She spun with a whirl of her cape. She grinned. "Well, you found me. You're smarter than you look, Scarlet Cheeks." A couple of cops rushed up onto the roof, guns drawn. "It's Succubus!" cried one of the cops, a woman. "Stop her!" "Oh dear, it looks like we have company," said Succubus. Her eyes flared. Scarlet Moon fired an energy beam, right as a particle beam struck $herm in the side. $She lurched sideways, and $her shot went wide. "What are you doing?" cried the cop, casting a frantic look at her partner. The other cop, a man, shot Scarlet Moon again, driving $herm to $her knees. "I'd love to stick around." Succubus leapt into the helicopter. She turned and waved at Scarlet Moon. "But I've got-" A particle beam struck Succubus in the face, knocking her back into the helicopter. "You're not going anywhere!" shouted the female cop. The other cop tackled her. "Don't you dare shoot Mistress!" The first kicked her partner off, and shot him in the chest. She rolled to her feet, and ran for the helicopter, firing all the while. Scarlet Moon pushed $herself to $her feet, and snapped a cord around the helicopter. $She wrapped a second cord around a nearby air duct as an anchor and flared $her shield. [["\"Leaving already? I'm starting to think you don't like me!\""|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush_2]] [["\"You're not going anywhere.\""|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush_2]]The helicopter lurched in midair. It swayed slowly back and forth, neither rising nor lowering. Scarlet Moon gritted $her teeth. $Her shield flared, and $her muscled corded. $She took a step back and heaved. The police officer jumped into the helicopter. There was a crash. The woman's boots flew out the helicopter and fell over the side. Her pants followed shortly after. Scarlet Moon ground $her teeth together, and with a grunt of effort, heaved on the helicopter. $Her boots dug into the roof, the air duct squealed, and the helicopter lurched towards the ground. The cop flew out of the helicopter, and over the edge of the building. Scarlet Moon released the cord on the air duct and rocketed over the edge. A gust of wind whipped up from below and buffeted $herm, but it didn't stop $herm from wrapping a cord around the falling cop. The helicopter lurched into the air, carrying both of them up into the air above the city. Scarlet Moon zipped $her cord back into $her wrist, bringing the cop up to $herm. The woman was unarmed, and she wore nothing below the waist but a pair of lacy pink panties that left the lower third of her round, fit bottom exposed. The woman had shoulder-length black hair tied back into a ponytail and dark green eyes. "Those don't seem appropriate for a police officer," said Scarlet Moon. "They don't seem appropriate for yo momma," said the officer. <<sexycostume 'She smacked Scarlet Moon\'s exposed bottom. "Besides, you\'re one to talk."'

Scarlet Moon flared $her shield just in time to catch a particle beam that would have struck $herm in the shoulder. The helicopter lurched sideways, sending the two swinging like a penduluum. Scarlet Moon's eyes flared with a red light. "No scarlet beams," said Juliana. "We don't need flaming helicopter parts raining down on pedestrians." "Right, collateral damage," said Scarlet Moon. "What?" said the officer. She held Scarlet Moon's waist in a death grip. "Nothing," said Scarlet Moon. "Hey, you scared of heights?" "It scales with how high up we are." The woman tightened her grip on Scarlet Moon. "We're really high up." [["\"I won't let you fall. But we're about to do a little Tarzaning.

The cop wailed and squeezed Scarlet Moon so hard, she probably would have broken a rib if it weren't for the <<female 'superheroine' 'superhero'>>'s shield. Scarlet Moon latched another cord to the helicopter, right above the door, and zipped towards it. The enthralled officer in the helicopter fired at $herm several times. Most shots missed, but a few deflected off $her shield. The enthralled went to slam the door closed, but by then Scarlet Moon was on top of him. The female cop let go of Scarlet Moon as the two burst into the helicopter, rolling across the floor and smashing another cop against a seat. Scarlet Moon backhanded the cop who'd shot at $her into a seat, leaving two officers and Succubus. [["\"Happy Birthday!\""|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush_4]] [["\"Give it up Succubus!\""|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush_4]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush_4]]Scarlet Moon unleashed a crimson beam right into Succubus' chest. Succubus flew through the copter and slammed into the far door. Scarlet Moon lunged, fist whipping forward. Succubus sidestepped and flung the door open. Scarlet Moon flew out into empty air. A palm smacked $her ass as $she sailed past, flinging $herm far more than armslength from the copter. Fortunately, Scarlet Moon had pretty long reach. $She twisted in midair and snapped another cord against the helicopter, just above the door. Succubus went to close the door, but a crimson beam to the face dazed her. Scarlet Moon zipped the cord. $She burst back into the helicopter feetfirst, and kicked Succubus in the face. Succubus rolled head over heels, and nearly fell out the far side. "What is it with you people and my face?" asked Succubus. The cop wrestled Succubus' two thralls on the seats, and seemed to be doing well for herself, despite being outnumbered and lacking in pants. As Scarlet Moon strode forward, the three rolled onto the floor behind $herm. [["\"Thinking the odds are in my favor, Succy.\""|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush_5]] [["\"It's over Succubus. You don't stand a chance against me one on one.\""|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush_5]]"How very true." Succubus snapped her fingers. "Hey!" The two thralls lunged forward, sending all three cops tumbling over the edge. Scarlet Moon leapt out after them, Succubus' cackle ringing in $her ears. Everything seemed to slow. The two thralls pushed off of the female cop in opposite directions, leaving three very distant targets for Scarlet Moon to catch. The wind swirled and danced around $herm, sending $herm first one way, then the other. $She could hear the female cop's screams. The other two joined in when Succubus' hypnotism snapped. Scarlet Moon growled in frustration. No way did $she have time to attach a cord to the helicopter and grab all three officers. $She snapped two cords to either side, wrapping them around the two ex-thralls, and zipped them towards $herm. "The hell is going on?" shrieked one of the cops. [["\"Oh you know. Just a little skydiving. Without a parachute.

The female cop reached, but Scarlet Moon was still out of reach. $She fired another burst of energy. $She must have misjudged it though, because rather than smoothly falling into the other woman's open arms, the two slammed into each other. "Everyone hold on tight!" Scarlet Moon pushed almost all of $her forcefield up into a large, thin balloon above $herm. The field caught the rushing wind like a parachute, and they jolted from a fatal plummet to an easy coast. The three cops squeezed Scarlet Moon so tightly $she saw stars. "Not...so...tight..." The three cops loosened their grips enough for Scarlet Moon to breath, if barely. Eventually, the four settled on the sidewalk a few blocks east of the Silver Tower. "Wow!" said the female cop. Her green eyes sparkled. "That was a thrill and a half!" [["\"Oh yes. And a half.\""|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush_7]] [["\"Whatever you say officer.\""|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush_7]] [[Grunt.|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush_7]]"Officer Chastain, what the hell happened to your pants?" asked one of the officers. Scarlet Moon realized with a start that it was the chief of police. "Fallen in the line of duty sir," said Officer Chastain. She saluted solemnly. "Their sacrifice will never be forgotten." "Cut the cheek." The police chief massaged his forehead. "My head hurts way too much for it." "Yo momma's-hey!" The chief went down into a lunge position, flung Chastain across his outthrust knee and swatted the bits of her bottom left bare by her panties. "What part of 'My head hurts too much for your cheek' don't you understand?'" "Oww!" Officer Chastain kicked and squirmed, her round bottom bouncing beneath the chief's large hand. "See if I save *you* again! Oww!" "I think that's my cue to leave," said Scarlet Moon. "I think not," said the chief over Officer Chastain's yelps and the crisp smack of palm striking bare skin. "Officer Morales, arrest that <<female 'woman' 'man'>> for vigilantism, and reckless endangerment." "You're kidding right?" said Scarlet Moon. "I will not have vigilantes in my town," said the chief.

"Morales, bring $herm down!" "But I lost my gun." The chief of police growled, and Officer Chastain squealed louder. Scarlet Moon snagged a flag pole with a cord and swung towards Silver Tower. "So that could have gone better," said Juliana. "It could have gone worse. Least we robbed Succubus of two, maybe four minions." "Yeah, though it's interesting that Officer, what was her name, Chastain? That Officer Chastain was able to resist Succubus' thrall." "My boss last night was able to as well, at least at first. Besides, Succubus is probably saving her strength." "But, she's got some serious mojo. She wouldn't be overwhelming you, otherwise." [["\"I don't know.

She put the paddle back in the bag. "Obviously, we can't force you. I'm dissapointed though. I'd hoped someone with your power would have a greater sense of responsibility." "She's just a pansy," said Marie. "Scared of the big bad paddle." Scarlet Moon walked out. "I don't think that was a good idea--" "Shut it," said Scarlet Moon. $She leapt up onto the roof of the building and swung away. "It wasn't your ass on the line." "No, but we could've used-" [["\"You're assuming they had anything to use. I think they just wanted payback, and I'm not going to play their game.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower]] [["\"I don't care. We'll figure it out without them.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower]] [["\"Not having this conversation.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower]]"Excuse me?" said the brunette. "It's absurd to care about collateral damage?" "Don't be dense," said Scarlet Moon. "We have a lunatic with mind control powers running around, you have the information I need to stop her, and you're going to hold it ransom, until I agree to let you paddle me? Something I would only ever agree to if I had exactly the sense of responsibility you claim I need? This has nothing to do with 'teaching me a lesson' and everything to do with getting even." "Nobody cares what you think," said the redhead with a smirk. "You can bend over and take your medicine, or you can fuck off." "Or you can tell me what I need to know," said Scarlet Moon. "Do we really want to piss off secret government agents?" asked Juliana. The redhead crossed her arms, leaned back against the desk, and gave the smuggest smirk ever sensed by senses. [["\"That's it. Gonna spank ya.\""|ep2d3_attack_agents_1]] [[Crack your knuckles. "Oh there's gonna be some medicine dispensed all right."|ep2d3_attack_agents_1]] [[ep2d3_megawater_leave]["This is dumb. I'm out of here."]Scarlet Moon lashed the redhead to the desk with a scarlet cord. Quick as lightning, the brunette whipped out a particle stunner and fired. The beam splattered across Scarlet Moon's forcefield. A quick eye beam knocked the stunner from her hand, and a flick of the wrist bound her arms to her sides. Juliana sighed. "I just know we're going to regret this." The brunette struggled uselessly against the magical cords. "I wouldn't bother," said Scarlet Moon. "Those things are strong enough to support my weight while swinging across the city. You really think you'll be able to break them?" "You cheating, arrogant bucket of piss," said the redhead. Scarlet Moon spun the redhead around and bent her over the desk. Another cord lashed her to it. Scarlet Moon did the same to the brunette, the brunette's round bottom blossomed into a full moon, straining against the skintight leather of her catsuit. [["\"I'm the arrogant bucket of piss? You're the two who tried to bully a superhero.\""|ep2d3_attack_agents_2]] [["\"Maybe if you'd prioritized you know, *protecting people* over salving your wounded pride, you wouldn't be in this situation.\""|ep2d3_attack_agents_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_attack_agents_2]] <<set $EP2D3SpankedAgents to true>> <<set $spanker to $spanker + 1>>Scarlet Moon tore off the backs of their catsuits. Four muscular orbs bounced into view. One was small, pert, pale and freckled. The other round, rotund and tanned, save for a bikini tan line. Scarlet Moon smirked when $she saw the line. $She wondered if $she could spank the woman's ass so that there was a thin line of pale skin, with red skin on either side. No sense in messing up the tan lines! "What the hell?" said Redhead. "It's not like we carry spares!" [["\"Good. Then you can crawl back to your boss with your freshly spanked asses hanging out.\""|ep2d3_attack_agents_3]] [["\"One of many important lessons I'll be teaching you tonight: always carry a spare.\""|ep2d3_attack_agents_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_attack_agents_3]]Scarlet Moon lined the heavy paddle up with Marie's little freckled bottom, and brought it down on the pert bottom with a resounding crack. Marie's head snapped up. Her fingers dug into the desk and a howl of pain burst from her lips. The pert bottom flattened and rippled beneath the heavy wood. She bounced her hips against the desk, her pert bottom jiggling. [["\"Wow one swat and you're already wailing? So much for secret agents.\""|ep2d3_attack_agents_4]] [["\"That looks like it hurt. You going to tell me where I can find Succubus?\""|ep2d3_attack_agents_4]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_attack_agents_4]]Scarlet Moon lined up the paddle up with Dana's rotund cheeks. She pulled the paddle back, and swung it into the firm flesh. Her large bottom flattened under the thick wood, wobbling and bouncing. Dana's hips squirmed and she grunted. A nice big red welt rose across the peak of the woman's protruding buttocks. "You know, I really can't believe this," said Scarlet Moon. "Isn't your entire job protecting people from Supremes?" Scarlet Moon whapped Marie's pert cheeks. The firm flesh jiggled madly beneath the heavy wood. Marie yelped and wiggled. "There is a crazy Supreme running around, mindraping people and turning them into her slaves. *You* have the information I need to stop her. And you're going to stand there all smug and blackmail me into taking a spanking? You disgust me." Scarlet Moon smacked Dana's big bottom with the paddle. Dana grunted and cursed. "We're just following orders," said Dana in a tight voice. [["\"Bull.\""|ep2d3_attack_agents_5]] [["\"Really? You were ordered to blackmail me with the lives of innocent people?\""|ep2d3_attack_agents_5]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_attack_agents_5]]Scarlet Moon landed another half dozen or so heavy strokes to the pair of secret agent bottoms bent over the desk in front of her. The agents grunted, wiggled and squealed their ways through the strokes. "You're dangerous," said Marie. "And you need to understand that!" Scarlet Moon rolled $her eyes. "I *do* understand that Red. If I didn't understand that, you'd be gettin a lot worse than a paddling. Now, tell me where I can find Succubus." A Half dozen blows burned into their bottoms, the large paddle alternating between bright red cheeks. "Oh fine," spat Dana. "I'll tell you, just stop it." "You gonna try to blackmail me into taking a spanking again?" asked Scarlet Moon. "It wasn't blackmail," said Dana. Scarlet Moon splatted Dana's bottom with the paddle. "Oww! Fine, fine," said Dana. "Call it what you want. We won't do it again. We'll beat your ass some other way." [["\"That's fine. Now, where is Succubus?\""|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush]] [["\"Hmm. I could keep spanking you. But whatever, Succubus is more important. Where is she?\""|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush]] [["\"Good. Now tell me where Succubus is. Now!\""|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush]]The tall brunette lowered her weapon. A small smile flitted across her face. "Scarlet Moon I presume?" "The one and only," said Scarlet Moon. "Who are you?" The brunette bowed. "Dana. And this is my partner, Marie. We are members of an elite organization dedicated to investigating and containing unique threats to the United States." Scarlet Moon's eyes flashed red. "I'm pretty unique." The redhead tensed. "Best keep those eyebeams in your head, you know what's good for you." "I took down a woman who can cut steel with her hair. A couple of 007 wannabes don't scare me." "Calm down, we're all on the same side," said Dana. "I said unique *threats*, <<female 'Miss' 'Mister'>> Moon. I have seen no evidence that you pose a threat to America. Except perhaps for your penchance for collateral damage." [["\"Hard to avoid when your enemies can punch you through walls.\""|ep2d3_megawater_confront_dont_know_1]] [["\"I'm doing the best I can.\""|ep2d3_megawater_confront_dont_know_1]] [[Narrow your eyes at the woman.|ep2d3_megawater_confront_dont_know_1]]Dana reached into her pack and pulled out a binder. "Noneless, I would appreciate it if you worked on reducing it. I assume you're trying to find Succubus?" "Or what she's planning." Dana grinned. "Well, we just so happen to know." "And you're willing to help me because..." Marie rolled her eyes. "A supervillain is about to attack one of the most successful and well-known entrepreneurs in the country, and you're asking that question? You're even dumber than you look." "Marie please don't antagonize the superhero," said Dana. "We haven't much time." [["\"Yes Marie. Please don't antagonize the superhero.\""|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush]] [["\"No, we don't. What do you have for me.\""|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_pre_tower_ambush]]Juliana pushed her chair to her closet and flung it open. "Great. I made some changes to your costume while you were asleep." She pulled out a costume and tossed it to $name. The only difference $name could find were the holes in the mask: rather than being ski-mask style gaps, they now had thin white plastic in them. "Clear plastic 'painted' with sharpie on the inside," said Juliana. "Should still be able to see alright out of them, and hopefully they'll dull Succubus' gaze a little. They have a few small cameras in them, so that I can see what's going on. Also, they make you look a bit less like a crappy cosplayer and more like an actual superhero." "So a good cosplayer. Mind stepping out so I can get changed?" Juliana ducked out. "How're the lenses?" she asked when she returned. [["\"Well, it's kinda like looking through a bus window. Should be fine though.\""|ep2d3_silver_1]] [["\"Looking good, and downright intimidating. Wish me luck.\""|ep2d3_silver_1]] [["\"Good.\""|ep2d3_silver_1]] <<equipCostume>>An hour later, Scarlet Moon crouched in the bushes outside of Silver Mansion. It sat adjacent to Silver Park, a massive park in the northwestern quadrant of the city. The full 2000 acres had once been fully owned by some rich family or other before Phillipa Silver bought it and donated about 1500 acres to the city. That left about 500 acres for her and her family to live on in privacy. A street, the Perimeter, ran all along the edge of the park. It skimmed along Silver's property for about half a mile. In the center of that half-mile sat a steel gate crafted into a swirl of leaves falling through an autumn breeze. A smooth white stone wall fully surrounded the inner core of Silver's property. "So any thoughts on how to get in there?" asked Scarlet Moon. "Probably crawling with security." "Probably not," said Juliana. "Fully covering 500 acres with good security is pretty cost prohibitive, even for someone as filthy rich as Silver. They'll almost certainly have security along the road, but deep in the wildest part of the park? Where the trees grow thick, the undergrowth promises a twisted ankle, and there are no lights to be seen? I'll bet there isn't much there." "So plunge into the undergrowth until we're out of sight of the road, then hop the wall?" asked Scarlet Moon. "That'd be my thought." Scarlet Moon eyed the pitch black trees that loomed up against the road. [["\"Or I could walk up and knock.\""|ep2d3_silver_2]] [["\"Better idea. Knock.\""|ep2d3_silver_2]]"Umm, what?" "Hey, I've saved both Ms. Silver and Alexandra from supervillains. That's *gotta* put me in her good graces. And I don't really like the idea of sneaking in like some sort of burglar." "There's no way they'd let in <<sexycostume 'some floozy in a thong.' 'some lunatic in pajamas.'>>" "<<sexycostume 'Floozy?' 'Lunatic?'>> You're the one who made this getup." "I meant from their perspective." "Yeah, ok." "Sorry. Look, I mean you can try that if you really want to, I guess. But there's no way they're gonna just let you waltz right in." [[Sneak in.|ep2d3_silver_sneak]] [[Knock.|ep2d3_silver_knock]]Scarlet Moon turned it over in $her head a few minutes. "I guess you're right. We'll sneak in." Scarlet Moon slipped into the trees. As the street faded from view Scarlet Moon flared $her shield. A faint red glow filled the forest, giving the skulking $superheroine just enough light to navigate by. $She stopped a few hundred feet in, and hopped over the wall. $She moved in the general direction of the house, Juliana whispering directions in $her ears. Soon $she stood behind the ancient mansion. $She looked up at the towering silhouette, half-expecting lightning to flash. $She spied a few lights on in the kitchen, likely as servants got ready for the day. "OK, so based on what I could find, Silver's bedroom is on the third floor, in the northern corner. Should be dark. She sleeps until about six." Scarlet Moon skittered around to the far side of the mansion, giving the kitchen lights a wide berth. $She snagged a cord against Silver's window, and zipped $her way up. $She opened the window, and slipped in. The bed was empty. The light snapped on. "Ouch!" said Juliana. "That's a light." "Welcome," said a silky voice. [["\"Shit.\""|ep2d3_silver_sneak_1a]] [["\"Ah crap.\""|ep2d3_silver_sneak_1a]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_silver_sneak_1a]]Scarlet Moon blinked $her vision clear. Phillipa Silver sat calm and regal in the room's single plush chair. She wore a grey and black professional dress, and her graying hair was pulled up into a bun. An athletic woman, closer to six foot than five, loomed behind her. Her dark hair was cropped short, and she wore a black and white skirted suit. She stood with her arms crossed and a scowl affixed to her face. "Took you longer than I expected," said Silver. She pointed a remote at the wall. The wall slid away to reveal a large television. The television snapped to life and showed repeating footage of Scarlet Moon hopping over the wall. "Hehe, oops," said Juliana. "Shoulda knocked," muttered Scarlet Moon. "I assume you're here about Miss Carmine's planned attack on my tower?" asked Silver. She turned off the television. "How did you--" "Please, you really think somebody can take me hostage, steal my jewelry, and interrupt my dinner without me digging up every skeleton in their closet?" "I guess not." "Naturally, you're here hoping we can help each other. I help you into Silver tower, and you make sure Miss Carmine's nefarious plot is foiled. And maybe, just maybe, the police are able to hold her for more than five minutes." [["\"That was exactly my plan! You're not like psychic or something are you?\""|ep2d3_silver_sneak_1]] [["\"That was the thought.\""|ep2d3_silver_sneak_1]] [[Nod.|ep2d3_silver_sneak_1]]"Good." Silver smiled. "I've given this some thought, and I think I have a plan." Scarlet Moon grinned. "That's great." "Indeed." Silver stood, smooth and regal. "However, first Clemency here is going to give you a sound spanking." "Wait, what? Why?" Scarlet Moon backed up towards the window. Clemency grinned and stepped around Silver. "For breaking and entering of course," said Silver. "Superpowers do not put one above the laws of decency." "Not one step closer Goliath." Scarlet Moon's eyes flared. "This is ridiculous. How else was I supposed to get in here?" "My gate has a buzzer." [["\"Your mom has a buzzer!\""|ep2d3_silver_sneak_2]] [["\"But I didn't know you'd just let me in.\""|ep2d3_silver_sneak_2]] [[Narrow your eyes, and take another step back toward the window.|ep2d3_silver_sneak_2]]"My dear, I refuse to work with people who don't take responsibility for their actions. Now take your medicine like a good $girl, or you won't be getting *any* help from me. Indeed, my security will treat you the same way they'll treat Succubus: a threat to be stopped." "Hehehe. Oops," said Juliana. "My bad." "Oh yes, that reminds me." Silver pressed another button on the remote. "I almost forgot about your dear Cerano." "What?" said Juliana. "Cerano De Bergerac," said Silver. She smirked. "The little voice in Scarlet Moon's ear. You." It was only then that Scarlet Moon realized that Juliana's question had not just been in her ear. It had in fact bounced off the walls of the room. "What the--" "Our cameras have microphones too," said Silver. "We picked up on Scarlet Moon's side of the conversation. Once we knew she had an angel on $her shoulder, it was easy enough to find the frequency, crack the encryption and listen in. We tried to source it, but you covered your tracks very well." "Well poo," said Juliana. "After we've stopped Succubus I expect the both of you to come here, so that Clemency can give you exactly what she's about to give your friend." Juliana groaned. [["\"Finally! You know how tired I am of taking all the licks, while she sits safe at home?\""|ep2d3_silver_sneak_3]] [["\"I like you. Even if your bodyguard is about to tan my hide.\""|ep2d3_silver_sneak_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_silver_sneak_3]]"Or you could run away?" said Juliana. "I mean, we could handle Succubus without her right?" Silver raised an eyebrow. "It seems I was wrong. It's a devil sitting on your shoulder." "Ain't that the truth," said Scarlet Moon. "Stop taking her side," said Juliana, a bit of panic creeping into her voice. "Besides, I don't have a costume." "I suppose it is unfair to force you to reveal your true identity," said Silver. Scarlet Moon groaned, while Juliana cheered. "Which is why I will give you twenty-four hours to make a costume," said Silver. Juliana groaned, while Scarlet Moon cheered. "Come on, just get out of there," said Juliana. "We don't need her help. Look at how big that lady is! You really want to go over *her* lap?" Clemency cracked her knuckles, a merciless grin on her face. [[Submit.|ep2d3_silver_submit]] [[Run!|ep2d3_silver_run]] <<set $ep2d3SilverSneak to true>>Scarlet Moon sighed. $She turned around, put $her hands on $her thighs, and stuck $her <<sexycostume 'thong-clad' ' spandex-covered'>> bottom out. "Fine. Let's get this over with." A pair of hands closed around $her waist. $She got spun around and thrown over Clemency's shoulder like a sack of potatoes. "Hey! What are you doing?" Clemency walked out of the bedroom, slapping Scarlet Moon's <<bodytype 'small' ' round' ' rotund; rotund'>> buttocks with every step. Scarlet Moon yelped and kicked. "Oww! What the heck? I'm not resisting or anything! Tell her to put me down, I'm-oww!-cooperating I'm cooperating!" Silver shrugged. "Clemency likes making a spectacle of things." "She's carrying you awfully easily," said Juliana. "Oh yes. It turns out Clemency developed a touch of superstrength about the time your friend showed up," said Silver. "Pretty insignificant compared to Scarlet Moon of course, but enough to make for a dangerous bodyguard and very effective disciplinarian." "So nice to know I'm-oww!-getting spanked by-oww!-the best," said Scarlet Moon. $She wiggled $her hips as best $she could. Clemency unleashed a flurry of hard smacks to Scarlet Moon's right cheek, and a matching flurry to her left. [["\"Oww! Hey! That was a compliment you jerk!\""|ep2d3_silver_submit_1]] [["\"What the hell?\""|ep2d3_silver_submit_1]] [["\"Owww! Grr!\""|ep2d3_silver_submit_1]] <<set $ep2d3SilverSneakSpanked to true>> <<set $spankee to $spankee + 1>> <<modifySore 1>>"Just showing you what I can do," said Clemency. "I hope you plan on giving her the day off tomorrow," said Juliana. "If Succubus got her hands on her..." "It has crossed my mind," said Silver. Clemency carried Scarlet Moon down into the main entrance hall, a cavernous room with a spiral staircase leading to the upper levels. Doors branched off in every direction on the main floor. Clemency's smacks and Scarlet Moon's yelps bounced off the walls, all the way up to the ceiling and back down again. Some of the doors opened, and servants peeked out into the hall. "Is that Scarlet Moon?" "Looks like it." "What's $she doing here?" "If Buzzsaw shows up, I'm quitting." Clemency grabbed a straight-backed armless chair that rested against the wall and carried it into the center of the hallway. Clemency sat in the chair and flipped the superheroine over her knee. Scarlet Moon kicked $her feet. [["\"Oh come on, could you get any more public?\""|ep2d3_silver_submit_2]] [["\"Can we get any more central?\""|ep2d3_silver_submit_2]] [["\"Rather public.\""|ep2d3_silver_submit_2]]"We could videotape it and post it on the internet," said Clemency. "This is fine," said Scarlet Moon. "This is totally fine." Clemency pressed her right hand against the small of Scarlet Moon's back. Her left palm clapped Scarlet Moon's $skincolor right cheek, making the <<fitness 'jiggly' 'firm' 'solid'>>, upthrust globe wobble madly. Her hand had barely left Scarlet Moon's blazing right buttock when it struck the heroine's left buttock with the same effect. The right again, left, right, left. Scarlet Moon kicked $her legs and slapped the floor. [["\"This is not fine! This is not fine! Oww!\""|ep2d3_silver_submit_3]] [["\"My buns are burning, my buns burning!\""|ep2d3_silver_submit_3]] [["\"Oww! Oww! Oww!\""|ep2d3_silver_submit_3]]For minute, after minute, after minute, Clemency struck Scarlet Moon's bouncing and bucking buttocks with heavy, full-armed swings. Each smack struck with the same force, with the same delay, and left an ever-growing blaze behind. It didn't take long for Scarlet Moon to flail, squirm, kick, and buck like a <<female 'madwoman' 'madman'>>. Tears fell down $her face, as much from the relentless tempo as the pain. The only time Clemency paused was to shift Scarlet Moon more onto her right thigh, and hook her left leg over Scarlet Moon's knees. The spanking resumed, just as fast, just as hard, and just as long as before. Scarlet Moon pounded on Clemency's thigh with one hand, while $she clutched the leg of the chair with the other. $Her toes curled and wiggled. $Her legs flexed and twitched but the other woman's thunderthighs easily held them down. $She squealed and yelped and sobbed. Clemency stopped. She removed her hand from the small of Scarlet Moon's back and lifted her leg. "We're done," she said. Scarlet Moon hopped to $her feet and leapt into the air. $She ran around the hallway, rubbing $her blazing bottom. [["\"Oh God, it burns! I'm not gonna sit for a month!\""|ep2d3_silver_submit_4]] [["\"Oww! Oww! Oww!\""|ep2d3_silver_submit_4]] [[Mewl wordlessly.|ep2d3_silver_submit_4]]"Your self-control is quite impressive," said Silver once Scarlet Moon had calmed down. Scarlet Moon scowled at her. "No I'm serious. Not once did you flare your shield, even when you were wailing like a baby who'd just watched the family dog eat $her dropped candy. Happened to Alexandra once. It was adorable." "Practice. I'd rather not expose my identity." "Indeed?" Silver walked to one the doors. Doors all over the hallway slammed shut as servants scurried back to work. "I think we'll have a very productive day today, don't you think Clemency?" "Of course," said Clemency, rubbing her palm as she followed after Silver. [["\"Nice to know I'm not the only one feeling it.\""|ep2d3_silver_submit_5]] [["\"Good. Hope you can't form a fist for a week.\""|ep2d3_silver_submit_5]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_silver_submit_5]]Scarlet Moon rubbed $her blazing cheeks and limped after the two. The trio entered a spacious office dominated by a giant mahogany desk and plush leather chair. A pair of smaller but also plush chairs sat in front of the desk. A pair of monitors sat on one end of the desk, while the other had a couple of neat stacks of paper, bound together by rubber bands. The center of the desk was empty save for a paperweight in the shape of an ant head. The office was lit by a quartet of soft golden lamps, one in each corner. A plush leather couch lined one wall, and in the corner was a fireplace with a tasteful rug set before it. A colorful chest sat against the wall, flush against the rug. "Alexandra's old toychest," said Silver. "We had so many pleasant evenings here. Alexandra and Clemency would play or nap on the rug while I worked, and Clemency's mother kept an eye on them. Sometimes, I'd even join them for a bit. I could play quite the mean T-Rex, let me tell you." Clemency blushed. "I'm surprised Clemency isn't watching Alexandra, if they know each other," said Juliana. Silver's lips twisted. She sat down behind the desk. Clemency took up position behind her. "My daughter can be stubborn, and has a tendency to go behind my back if I'm not careful. Besides, I've made arrangements to keep her as safe as I can. Now why don't you sit--" Scarlet Moon shook $her head. "Of course, apologies." Silver smiled. "Let's talk business, shall we?" [["\"This had better be worth it, Silver.\""|ep2d3_silver_office_plan]] [["\"Lets.\""|ep2d3_silver_office_plan]] [[Nod.|ep2d3_silver_office_plan]]"I don't think so." Scarlet Moon turned and leapt out the window. $She rolled across the grass and bolted into the trees. "So, yeah," said Juliana. "That was a disaster." Scarlet Moon grunted. [["\"Told you we should have knocked.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower]] [["\"And it's all your fault, too.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_silver_tower]]"This is a waste of time," said Juliana. "Your mom's a waste of time," said Scarlet Moon. "I'll tell her you said that." "Just kidding!" Juliana giggled. Scarlet Moon stared at the gate for a moment. $She glanced around before finally finding a small buzzer and comm panel. $She pushed the button. "Who is it?" asked a gruff voice. [["\"I am the Sensational Scarlet Moon, and I'm here to warn Ms. Silver of a dire danger facing her later this morning!\""|ep2d3_silver_knock_1]] [["\"I'm Scarlet Moon, and I need to talk to Ms. Silver. It's an emergency.\""|ep2d3_silver_knock_1]] [["\"I need to talk to Ms. Silver. Now.\""|ep2d3_silver_knock_1]]"Uh-huh. Did you have an appointment?" asked the guard in a bored voice. "Umm, no?" said Scarlet Moon. "So you showed up at Ms. Silver's residence at five in the morning, and you don't even have an appointment?" "Umm, how do costumed $superheroines who've only just now discovered a dire threat to your employer's wealth and health get an appointment?" "Get a bat signal. Now bugger off before I come out there and tan your ass." "You...really think you could take a $superheroine?" asked Scarlet Moon. "Brat, I could take a dozen $superheroines. Now--Yes? Just one moment <<female 'miss' 'mister'>>." The comm switched off. A few minutes passed. Scarlet Moon created a couple of scarlet spheres and juggled them. "You know it's not really juggling if you're only using two," said Juliana. "Oh hush," said Scarlet Moon. Eventually, the comm crackled to life at the same time that the gates swung open. "You may enter," said the guard in a chastened voice. "Please try not to destroy anything." [["\"I promise nothing!\""|ep2d3_silver_knock_2]] [["\"Thank you very much, guard person.\""|ep2d3_silver_knock_2]] [["\"Of course.\""|ep2d3_silver_knock_2]]Scarlet Moon walked through the opening gates. "Told you so." "Shut up," said Juliana. "Excuse me?" said the guard. "Nothing, nevermind." Scarlet Moon stood in front of a truly ginormous mansion. "Pretty sure that thing's bigger than our neighborhood." The door swung open, and a tall woman about Scarlet Moon's age stood in the doorway. Her dark hair was cropped short, and she wore a black and white skirted suit. She had an athletic build with long legs, broad shoulders, and narrow torso. The woman stepped aside and gestured for Scarlet Moon to enter. [["\"Don't mind if I do.\""|ep2d3_silver_knock_3]] [["\"Thank you.\""|ep2d3_silver_knock_3]] [[Smile and nod at the woman.|ep2d3_silver_knock_3]]Scarlet Moon walked up the (many!) steps and into the cavernous entrance hall. The hall was mostly empty. The hardwood floor gleamed in soft yellow light emanating from lamps hanging off the walls. A great spiral staircase wound its way up towards the ceiling. There was at least one door in every direction. "Nice digs. Think I'm gonna add 'get filthy rich' to the top of my todo list," said Juliana. "Please come this way," said the woman. She opened a door to the right, stepping aside to let Scarlet Moon through. The two stepped into an office dominated by a giant mahogany desk and plush leather chair. A pair of equally plush chairs sat behind the desk. A pair of monitors sat on one end of the desk, while the other had a couple of neat stack of paper, bound together by rubber bands. The center of the desk was empty save for a paperweight in the shape of an ant head. The office was lit by a quartet of soft golden lamps, one in each corner. A plush leather couch lined one wall, and in the corner was a fireplace with a tasteful rug set before it. A colorful chest sat against the wall, flush against the rug. Phillipa Silver sat behind the desk, her fingers steepled in front of her. With her black and white suit, professional makeup, and graying hair pulled back into a bun, she looked like the quintessential CEO. "Welcome <<female 'Ms.' 'Mr.'>> Moon. Please have a seat." [["\"Hi.\""|ep2d3_silver_knock_4]] [["\"Good morning, Ms. Silver.\""|ep2d3_silver_knock_4]] [[Nod and smile at Ms. Silver.|ep2d3_silver_knock_4]]Scarlet Moon <<sore 'gingerly' ''>> slid into one of the chairs. The woman who let $herm in stepped around $herm and took up position behind Silver. "I hope Clemency didn't keep you waiting long," said Silver. "Not at all," said Scarlet Moon. "I'd only just reached the mansion." "Very good." Silver smiled. "Now what brings you so politely to my door?" Scarlet explained what $she and Juliana had discovered. "I see," said Silver. "You're quite the detective. And here I thought you were just one of those react-and-punch-things kind of heroes." Scarlet Moon shrugged. "Well, I'm pretty good at that too." "Taking credit for my hard work," muttered Juliana. "I mean, I guess we shouldn't be running around exposing my existence, but you're still a jerk." Scarlet Moon tried not to smile. "I appreciate the warning," said Silver. "But do you really think you can beat her? If I remember correctly, <<if $ep2d2succubusvictory>>you only barely beat her last time.<<else>>the last time you two met she tanned you good.<</if>>" Scarlet Moon tapped the lenses covering $her eyes. "This time, I'm much better prepared." "Indeed. Though I imagine her thralls are going to be much more competent." "You know anyone who has a better shot?" "No. But we need to stack the deck." [["\"The last time I stacked the deck, I ended up in the corner for twenty minutes.\""|ep2d3_silver_office_plan]] [["\"What did you have in mind?\""|ep2d3_silver_office_plan]] [[Raise an eyebrow inquisitvely (not that Silver could see your eyebrows).|ep2d3_silver_office_plan]]Silver stood up and paced behind her desk, her hands clasped behind her back. "I have a secret compartment underneath the floor in my office. We'll hide you there. When Succubus shows up--" "I shoot her right in the face," said Scarlet Moon, $her eyes flashing red. "Not yet. First I'll activate some automated defenses. Turrets equipped with particle beams that are installed in my office." "This lady takes defense seriously," said Juliana. "Hopefully the turrets will soften her up some, and maybe even neutralize some of her thralls. Then you ambush her," said Silver. [["\"Sounds good.\""|ep2d3_silver_office_plan_1]] [["\"Blerr.

"There is one question I have." Silver paused. "Yes?" "Do you have any enemies?" Silver smiled. "We're about to go and ambush one." "I mean rich enemies. The kinds of enemies who would fund a kidnapping?" Silver's smile vanished. "What do you mean?" "I overheard Buzzsaw talking to someone on the phone, before I rescued your daughter. Someone who was supposed to come and pick her up." Silver tapped her lips. "Interesting. I thought it was just a standard kidnap-and-ransom." "I don't think so. Someone hired Buzzsaw to kidnap Alexandra." "I don't know of anyone off the top of my head. Oh don't get me wrong, there are plenty of people who don't like me, but they're mostly politicians I've snubbed, or businesspeople I've undercut. All very professional, nothing that would trigger a kidnapping. I shall have to do some digging. Thanks for the warning." [["\"No problem.

"Erm, burst in and punch everyone?" asked Juliana. "That's the best you got? I thought you were supposed to be the brains of this outfit!" "I don't know. Look, I'm an engineer, not a general." Scarlet Moon sighed and landed on the roof of a building across the street from Silver Tower. $She narrowed $her eyes. "I can see some figures in what's probably Silver's office. But I can't quite-" Scarlet Moon's eyepatches whirred. "Hey!" "Looks like Silver, a bunch of people in their mid to late twenties, Vanessa, Mrs. Rossi and a barely dressed tart with a riding crop. Also about six serious looking guards. Time to make your big entrance." [[Smash through the window|ep2d3_silver_tower_window]] [[Go in through the roof|ep2d3_silver_tower_roof]]Scarlet Moon leapt off the skyscraper and snapped a cord against Silver Tower, just above the window leading into Silver's office. $She sucked the cord back into $her shield, zipping $herself across the street and feet-first through the window. "My window!" cried Silver, while Vanessa dove behind the CEO's desk. Succubus spun around just in time to get kicked in the chest. The villain flew through the air and smashed through the wall into another office. [["\"Sorry I'm late.

"Fry $herm!" screamed Succubus, stumbling back into the room. "I want Scarlet Moon bent over the desk and squealing five minutes ago!" The bodyguards simultaneously snapped to attention, drew their stunners and fired at Scarlet Moon. <<if $ep2d3TowerAmbush>> <<include 'ep2d3_silver_tower_fight_ambush'>> <<else>> <<include 'ep2d3_silver_tower_fight'>> <</if>>Scarlet Moon ran around to the far side of the building and *leapt* at Silver Tower. Halfway there, $she snapped a cord against the roof and zipped $herself up. $She threw open the door, and charged down the stairs. "One, two, three," said Juliana. "Here!" Scarlet Moon kicked open the door and charged in. Particle beams flew at $herm, a few glancing off $her shield. But that didn't stop $herm from zeroing in on Succubus and blasting her through the open doorway and out of the office. The particle beams slowed, and the guards swayed. [["\"Sorry I'm late.

You'd be much less conspicuous," said Silver. The trio stepped into the garage and walked to a nearby limousine. Scarlet Moon blanched. "Didn't think so," said Silver. Clemency opened the back door and gestured for the two to get in. "Looks like security's going to get one heck of a bonus tonight." Scarlet Moon took a moment to take in the very fancy limo. "What's the going rate for one of these?" "Far more than I should have spent. But the privacy is useful sometimes. And it helps build a certain image." "Plutocratic fat cat?" Juliana slapped her forehead. Silver smiled. "To the right people." The rest of the trip was in silence, and before too long they were riding in a private elevator up to Silver's office. Cushy chairs and couches were scattered about the room, mostly gathered around a desk backed by a pair of ginormous windows with a breathtaking view of the city. [["\"Now, this is *nice*.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_1]] [["\"You like to survey your domain, I take it.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_1]] [[Whistle.|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_1]]"Don't be too impressed," said Silver. "Those windows are a huge pain. Can't see a thing on my monitor most days. So I have to close them, but then what's the point of having windows? And don't even talk to me about how hot they make it." "So what now?" asked Scarlet Moon. Silver pressed a button underneath her desk, and a floor panel slid away. "You're going to climb in there and wait. The hopeful founders should be here in about four hours." "That's a lot of waiting." Silver shrugged. "Can't have you in here. My secretary and other aids'll be coming in and out like crazy. In fact, Janette-" A knock came at the door. "Ms. Silver?" Silver smiled. "That's her now. An hour earlier than she should be. Get in." Scarlet Moon groaned, and climbed in. It was actually much roomier than $she expected. Big enough that $she could (mostly) stretch out. "Relax," said Juliana. "I'll put on a podcast drama." [["\"Yay. Nothing like listening to the radio for 4 hours.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_2]] [["\"Just nothing scary. Got enough winding my nerves tight as it is.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_2]]"Come in," said Silver. Heels clacked against the floor. "Good morning Ms. Silver." "Good morning Janette. Tell me, what time did I ask you to come in?" "Um, six-thirty ma'am?" "And what time is it?" "Umm, five forty-fiveish. I think..." "So what are you doing here?" "Boss, we've got guests coming--" "We've been preparing for six months. You really think one more hour is going to make a difference?" "Maybe?" "You work seven to six, six to six some days. You're already risking burnout." "But there's so much to do." The secretary's heels clicked, likely as she swayed from foot to foot. A chair scraped against the floor. "Come here, please." "Oh come on, you can't be serious." "I can be." [["\"You're kidding.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_3]] [["\"The hell kinda boss spanks their secretary for being *early*?\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_3]]Heels clacked. "Only boss who spanks her employees for being *early.*" "Because I'm the only one who cares about her people's mental health." The crack of hand to bare flesh echoed throughout the large office in a slow, steady, rhythmic fashion. "That's it?" said Juliana. Fifteen minutes passed. Fifteen minutes of the same, slow, rhythmic spanking. It was almost enough to put a sleepy $superheroine to sleep. "Umm, ma'am, how long-" "You have a choice girl. You can enjoy your personal time to the fullest, and get to work when you are supposed to, or you can come early and spend that extra time getting your seat warmed." The smacking picked up. "Oww! Ma'am that's not fair!" "It's far more fair than letting you work yourself to death." The spanking continued. Steady, methodical, unrelenting. Every ten minutes the rate increased a little. By the end the smacks almost seemed to blur together and Janette wailed continuously. "And done. Six thirty on the dot. Now go clean yourself up we've got work to do." "Yes ma'am." Heels clacked rapidly out of the office. "Ok, so I take it back," said Juliana. "That woman's a machine." [["\"Seriously. Remind me never to get on her bad side.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_4]] [["\"Kinda makes you wonder how Alex grew up as snotty as she did.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_4]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_4]]The next few hours crawled by. People were constantly in and out of Silver's office, heels and shoes thudding against the floor above Scarlet Moon's head. Their voices blurred together into a continuous drone. Occasionally, someone's voice rose, but Silver's calm tone always brought it back down. Juliana's podcast helped (weird show), but sitting under a floor is not fun, no matter how good a podcast you may be listening to. At one point, a familiar voice jerked Scarlet Moon out of her daze. "Phillipa," said Mrs. Rossi's voice. "How are you? I hope last night didn't ruffle you too badly. I was so worried." "Of course not," said Silver in a warm voice. "Besides, I'm the one who should be worried. I had a ruined evening, you have a ruined business." "Oh pish posh, we will rebuild. It'll be expensive--" "Don't you worry about that. I'll sell *my* business to a monkey before I go without your chicken parmesan. Ah, and you've brought Vanessa. How are you holding up my dear? And what about your friend, what was $her name, $name right? How did $she handle $her first night?" "Being threatened by supervillains is kind of becoming old hat for me, I guess," said Vanessa. "And $name seemed to be doing ok. Looked a little shaken, and like $she'd run a marathon, but you know we survived." [["\"Marathon is right.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_5]] [["\"And I'm about to run another one, too. *sigh*\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_5]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_5]]"Yes, I'm sorry that my family keeps putting you in danger." "Oh it's not your fault ma'am. Just bad luck." "Yes, well I take it you'll be helping Miss Rossi with the catering?" "Yes ma'am." "Wonderful. I have every confidence in both of you. Now if you'll excuse me." "Ma'am, the founders are starting to arrive," said Janette in quiet voice. "They'll be up here in a few minutes." Minutes later, the door opened and a gaggle of excited voices, male and female, flooded the office. "Breaking news," said Juliana grimly. "Someone's stolen a police helicopter. Taken the chief of police hostage, and is flying towards Silver Tower." Scarlet Moon sucked in a breath. "Ms. Silver, a helicopter has landed on the roof," said a deep voice. It was wound tight, like a coiled spring ready to snap. "A helicopter?" "Police helicopter apparently." "Why would-" The doors burst open. "It's her!" cried one of the guards. [["\"Finally! Here's hoping I can still move.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_6]] [["\"Here we go...\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_6]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_silver_tower_hide_6]]"Oh hush, and lower your weapon," said Succubus. "Didn't your mother ever tell you it's rude to point guns at people?" Heels clacked against the office floor. "I wouldn't take another step," said Silver. The heels stopped, mere inches from Scarlet Moon. "What, I'm not allowed to mingle with the rest of the guests?" The heels moved about the office. "You're not a very good host, you know that?" "Clarence, fire!" Silence. Succubus laughed. "You stupid old woman. I've been planning this for weeks. You really think I would've just walked in here without neutralizing every one of your defenses first?" "Shift a few inches to the right, and you can blow the hatch right into Succubus' face," said Juliana. [[Blast the hatch into Succubus' face.|ep2d3_succubus_hatch]] [[Throw the hatch open and ambush Succubus.|ep2d3_succubus_ambush]]There was a great KATHOOM, and a massive beam blew the hatch off its hinges and slammed it into Succubus with enough force to send her through the ceiling. "Of course not." Silver leaned against her desk. "You're nowhere near competent enough." There was a clatter above, and the hatch fell out of the ceiling and slammed into the floor. Succubus landed on top of it. [["\"'Sup Succubus?\""|ep2d3_silver_succubus_office]] [["\"Surrender now, Succubus. I don't want to hurt you.\""|ep2d3_silver_succubus_office]] [[Glare.|ep2d3_silver_succubus_office]] <<set $ep2d3SilverHatch to true>>Scarlet Moon flung the hatch open, and erupted into the office, fist leading. $She uppercutted Succubus right in the chin, sending the woman flying through the still open door. "Of course not." Silver leaned against her desk. "You're nowhere near competent enough." Succubus charged back into the room. Scarlet Moon fired a beam, but the supervillain pivoted around it and lashed her whip at Scarlet Moon's face. Scarlet Moon caught the whip on $her forearm, and yanked Succubus through the air. Succubus pulled herself into a ball, whirled over Scarlet Moon, and stuck the landing like an Olympic gymnast. [["\"Nice!\""|ep2d3_silver_succubus_office]] [["\"Theatrics won't help you, Succubus.\""|ep2d3_silver_succubus_office]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_silver_succubus_office]]"How did she pull that off in heels?" asked Vanessa. "Natural grace," said Succubus. She tossed her hair and smiled at Scarlet Moon. "Much as I love putting you over my knee, I'm kinda busy at the moment. Think you can come back next Tuesday? I've got an opening at three." [["\"Aw come on Succy can't you spare an old friend even five minutes?\""|ep2d3_silver_succubus_fight_snark]] [["\"It's over Succubus.\""|ep2d3_silver_succubus_fight_serious]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_silver_succubus_fight_silent]]"Well, I suppose.

"Clarence, fire!" <<include 'ep2d3_silver_succubus_fight'>>"You know, all I wanted was a gregarious hero I could banter with while beating $her ass. Is that too much to ask?" Scarlet Moon said nothing. "I suppose so." Succubus' eyes flashed red. "Clarence, fire!" <<include 'ep2d3_silver_succubus_fight'>>Scarlet Moon leapt backwards onto Silver's desk, $her shields flaring. Nothing happened. "Dammit Clarence, I said fire," said Succubus. "It's called a kill switch," said Silver. She bounced what looked like a garage opener in her palm. "Did you really think I'd put guns in my office without a way of turning them off?" "No matter, take $her down." Succubus' eyes flared and she pointed at Scarlet Moon. The bodyguards and cops all drew their weapons and pointed them at the $heroine. Scarlet Moon leapt into the air. [["\"Someone hit the music.

Scarlet Moon's shield flared as particle beams splashed against it. $She backed up a step, caught flat-flooted by their aggression and good aim. These weren't a bunch of random schmucks. These were professionals. Scarlet Moon wove a scarlet staff. $She whirled it above $her head, and rammed the butt into one bodyguard's gut, then whipped it around and cracked the jaws of two other guards. But the rest tackled $herm, raining down punches and kicks. Succubus' arrogant voice rose above the impacts and grunts. "Give up Scarlet Moon. You're just a naughty little $girl in <<sexycostume 'lingerie.' 'pajamas.'>> You don't stand a chance against my highly trained guards." Scarlet Moon threw one bodyguard off. $She fired a beam into the face of another. A bodyguard shot $her at point blank range, the particle beam sending a wave of numbing pain across $her body. With a heave, and a flare of power, Scarlet Moon threw the remaining bodyguards off, and staggered to $her feet. Succubus kicked $herm in the gut. Scarlet Moon fell to one knee, clutching $her sides and groaning. $Her shield flickered, and faded. <<if $ep2d2succubusvictory>> Succubus laughed maniacally. "Looks like the tables have turned worm. You should've quit while you were ahead." <<else>> Succubus laughed maniacally." Poor little worm.

"No, I'm pretty sure it is," said Succubus. She put her hands on her hips. Her eyes flared. "Now, let's finish what we started--" Vanessa smashed a tray of hors d'oeuvres over Succubus' head. Succubus pivoted and grabbed Vanessa by the throat. "What was that supposed to accomplish?" "Make you turn around." Vanessa sprayed her in the face with some pepper spray. "Son of a bitch!" Succubus released Vanessa and stumbled backwards, wiping at her eyes. Vanessa grabbed Scarlet Moon's arm. "Are you alright?" [["\"Oh yes, get the supervillain mad at you, that's a good idea.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_defeat_2]] [["\"What the hell do you think you're doing?\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_defeat_2]] [[Say nothing|ep2d3_silver_tower_defeat_2]]"No problem, Scarlet Moon," said Vanessa. "Always happy to help, Scarlet Moon. It'd be bad for everyone if you became that lunatic's drone, Scarlet Moon." "Alright, I get the picture." Scarlet Moon let Vanessa pull $herm to $her feet. "You little bint," roared Succubus. "By the time I'm through with you--" Cops burst in, particle beams firing. Leading the charge was a dark-haired female cop utterly lacking in pants. Instead, she wore standard issue police boots and a pair of lacy pink panties that left the lower third of her bottom exposed. Succubus snarled. "Not you again. God you're annoying." "Yo momma's annoying," said the raven-haired cop. She stepped up next to Scarlet Moon and Vanessa and shot Succubus in the face. "What is it with you and my face?" snarled Succubus clutching at her nose. "If it weren't so damned ugly, I wouldn't have to shoot it so much." The cop fired again. "I will make you regret those words," said Succubus. Her eyes bathed the room in scarlet light. The cops stopped firing, all but the brunette. The brunette looked around sheepishly. The other officers turned their particle stunners on her. Succubus advanced on the trio, her eyes glowing. "Now, my little Scarlet Moon. You'd best start listening to mommy, or mommy will get very cross with you." [["\"Please stop calling yourself 'mommy.'

Succubus' eyes flared with a blinding light. "OBEY!" Scarlet Moon screamed in pain. $She fell to $her knees, clutching $her head. $Her skull felt like it sat at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. The floor vanished. By the time Scarlet Moon could see again, $she was sliding and bouncing through a large steel tube, Vanessa in front of $herm and the cop behind. It curved and dipped like a water slide, and was even coated with a thin film of lubricant. The tube spat the trio out into what looked like a ginormous vent. They slid several feet before coming to a gentle stop against a steel wall. "Eww, eww, eww," said Vanessa, wiping at her skirt. "God it feels like I'm covered in lube." [["\"I can think of worse fates.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_defeat_4]] [["\"The hell kind of person installs lubricated slides in their office building?\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_defeat_4]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_silver_tower_defeat_4]]Scarlet Moon pressed $her finger against $her ear. "You there?" "Scarlet Moon," said Juliana. "You ok?" "Who are you talking to?" asked the cop. "Yes. Somehow Va-*cough**cough*, Mrs. Rossi's server, a pantsless cop, and I went on a little waterslide ride through the building and are now sitting in a vent somewhere. Any help?" "Yeah, I saw. Made me dizzy," said Juliana. "Unfortunately, Silver's not an idiot. She's got the blueprints of that place locked down tight. Like, I don't think they're on her company's intranet at all. The best I have is an incomplete map of floors on their website. There's no way that place has got only fifty floors." "Actually, I don't think that's so unreasonable," said Scarlet Moon, looking around at the giant vent. "They gotta fit the slip'n'slide in here somehow." "Interesting," said Juliana. "So I say we lay low until Succubus leaves with...whatever she came for." "Not very heroic." "Yeah, but you're in no shape-" "Oh Scarlet Moooon." Succubus' singsong voice echoed up from the room below. Scarlet Moon's heart leapt into her throat. "It's just the PA," said the cop. "You really think I'm just going to let my champion slip away? Silly, silly $girl." [["\"So much for just leaving.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_defeat_5]] [["\"I'm getting *so* tired of her voice.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_defeat_5]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_silver_tower_defeat_5]]"So why don't you just come on out like a good girl? You can try to hide, but I'll find you, even if I have to tear this scyscraper apart. Brick. By. Brick. By. Brick." The cop scoffed. "It's not made of brick you skanky hussy." Vanessa cocked an eyebrow and looked at the cop's bare legs. "It wasn't by choice," said the officer. She cocked her head. "Hey, I remember you. I belted you yesterday at the market for brawling. What are you doing here?" "Serving appetizer's at Ms. Silver's party," said Vanessa. "I'm Vanessa." "Officer Bernice Chastain," said the officer, shaking Vanessa's hand. "But you can call me Bernice." "Now," said Bernice, slapping her pistol against her palm. "Let's get back up there and kick that lunatic's butt halfway to China." "Don't be stupid," said Vanessa. "We need to get out of here while the getting's good." "Excuse me?" said Bernice. "That woman is holding like a dozen people hostage--" "You couldn't stop her before," said Vanessa. "What makes you think you can stop her now?" "Because we have to," said Bernice. Vanessa rolled her eyes. "You are not an action hero. You're a police officer can't keep track of her pants." "Yo momma can't keep track of her pants," said Bernice. [["\"Person companion thing, tell me you've got some ideas.\""|ep2d3_vents]] [["\"We need a codename for you.

"You really think a rematch'll end any differently?" asked Juliana. "Those people upstairs need our help." "Fine. I'll see what I can come up with. In the meantime, sit down and try to catch your breath. And whatever you do, don't get into any fights." "Well that shouldn't be too--" "Don't ever talk about my mother like that!" Vanessa tackled Bernice. The door to the room below below banged open and a trio of women in skintight leather outfits and particle rifles burst in. Their Silver Ant badges were plainly visible even through the vent grates. "--hard." [[Ambush the guards.|ep2d3_vents_ambush]] [[Grab Vanessa|ep2d3_vents_call]]Scarlet Moon kicked the vent out and shot the lead guard right in the kisser. $She swung out of the vent and wrapped a cord around a second guard, flinging $herm into the third. They were down before Scarlet Moon landed. There was a clang above $herm, followed by a yelp. "Bet you weren't expecting to play babysitter," said Juliana. "To Vanessa and a cop? No." Scarlet Moon leapt back up into the grate. Bernice had Vanessa face down on the grate, an arm twisted behind her back. Her skirt was pulled up around her waist, exposing a pair of milky globes in a white thong. A collection of red handprints were scattered across the pale orbs. "You're stronger than you look brat." Bernice smacked Vanessa's right cheek, making it bounce. "But you haven't got years of training in hand to hand combat." "And I have superpowers." Scarlet Moon lifted Bernice off of Vanessa. "So let's keep our hands to ourselves, 'kay?" "Hey, she's the one who attacked a cop," said Bernice. "You called my mother a whore," said Vanessa, pushing herself up and shoving her skirt down. "I was just kidding." "It's not funny." [["\"I'd really appreciate it if you skipped to the third act in the little buddy cop movie you've got going on here.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse]] [["\"Enough.

"I won't ask a second time." Scarlet Moon growled in disgust. $She grabbed Bernice in $her other hand, and leapt down into the room. "Just Scarlet Moon and a pair of children." "Pretty sure I'm older than you," said Bernice. "Then start acting like it." The guard's gun didn't waver. "Names. Now." "Officer Bernice Chastain, GCPD," said Bernice. "Vanessa Vaine, I'm a, uh, a waitress for Miss Rossi at the Pink Pantry," said Vanessa. Scarlet Moon struck a heroic pose. [["\"The Sensational Scarlet Moon, heroine extraordinaire.\""|ep2d3_vents_call_1]] [["\"I'm Scarlet Moon.\""|ep2d3_vents_call_1]]The woman cocked her head, apparently speaking into a headpiece.

"What about the chick in red lingerie?" asked Vanessa, jerking her thumb at Scarlet Moon. "She obviously needs all the help she can get." Scarlet Moon's lips twisted. "She's not wrong," said Juliana. "Maybe not against Succubus herself, but the tower's probably crawling with her minions by now." "If you want, I guess," said Scarlet Moon. "Well, I want out of here," said Vanessa. The guard nodded. "Wait five minutes, then leave the room and go left. There's an elevator just down the hall and to the right. It'll take you wherever you need to go." The trio turned and hustled out of the room, Vanessa following after them.

Ok, look. Charming all these people has got to exhaust her, right? There must be a limit to her powers. So we need to stretch them thin," said Juliana. "Move up and down the tower. Let security cameras catch glimpses of you. Knock out any thralls you see, force her to find new ones." "That's the best you can come up with?" asked Scarlet Moon. "Throw the board across the room?" "Hey, I don't have a lot to go on," said Juliana. "Do you have any better ideas?" "No, not really." Bernice cocked her head. "So what's the voice in your head saying?" "We're uh, gonna beat up a lot of people," said Scarlet Moon. There was a sharp crack, and Scarlet Moon leapt forward, clutching at her right bum cheek. "Hey!" "That is a terrible idea, and the only reason you're not over my knee and wailing is because, well, you have superpowers," said Bernice. "I'm not just going to sit back and let you go out of your way to attack innocent people, even if they are mind controlled." "Got a better idea?" asked Scarlet Moon. "Yeah. Look, sudden bursts of adrenaline seem to break Succubus' hold. Like if we found a way to startle them." "That's it!" said Juliana. [["\"What is?\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_sonic_2]] [["\"This had better not get me any more swats.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_sonic_2]] [[Groan.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_sonic_2]]"Remember last night, when you got beaten, enthralled and spanked by Succubus?" asked Juliana.

We saw it last year, when we came on that scholarship tour remember?" Scarlet Moon winced. "Yes." "What if we hook it up to the PA system, and then use it to shriek in everyone's ear?" "Why not just shriek into the PA system?" asked Scarlet Moon. "Too hard to get right," said Juliana. "The speakers are too far away from everyone, and too powerful. If you shrieked too softly, it might not do anything. If you shrieked too much, well there might be a risk of hurting someone's hearing or something. The sonic lab'll give me the tools I need to calibrate just the right sound. Just need to do some analysis." "Alright." Scarlet Moon gestured for Bernice to follow her. [["\"Time to raise the volume.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1]] [["\"Come on, we're heading for the sonic laboratory in the basement.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1]]The guard's eyes narrowed. Her gun pointed right at Scarlet Moon's chest. "You're coming with me." "Why? Where?" asked Scarlet Moon. "You're not authorized to be here. I will be escorting you to a holding cell until the police have a chance to arrest you for trespassing," said the guard. "You've got to be kidding me." "I don't kid with intruders." "Yo momma don't kid with intruders," said Bernice. Scarlet Moon facepalmed. "Enough," said the guard. "You have a choice. You can come with us peacefully or we can kick your ass and drag you with us." [["\"Well, I do love getting my ass kicked.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_fight_ambush_victory]] [["\"Sorry, but I can't come with you.\""|ep2d3_silver_tower_fight_ambush_victory]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_silver_tower_fight_ambush_victory]]Scarlet Moon downed the leading guard with a scarlet beam. The other two guards fired particle beams at $herm. The beams splashed harmlessly against $her shield. Scarlet Moon swirled a long scarlet staff into existence, and swung it through the air, bowling over the remaining two guards. "I can't believe this," said Vanessa. "You just...attacked them." "I'm not exactly thrilled about it either." Scarlet Moon stepped over the groaning guards and peered out into the hallway. "But I've got a supervillain to stop." "You could have hurt them," said Vanessa. "I've got more control over my powers than that," said Scarlet Moon. "But, this has got to be illegal," said Vanessa. "Like assault, and battery? Resisting arrest? Can you be charged with resisting arrest when it's private security?" [["\"Well then I guess it's a good thing I'm wearing a mask and have superpowers.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse]] [["\"I know, I know.

[[Go left|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left]] [[Go right|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_right]]They eased down the corridor, and eventually came to an elevator door. <<if $ep2d3GuardsDistract>> <<include 'ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_distract'>> <<else>> <<include 'ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_1'>> <</if>>There was a burst of particle beams down the hall, in the direction Vanessa and the guards had gone. Scarlet Moon bolted down the hall. Thuds echoed down the hallway, and Vanessa stumbled around the corner, covering her head. Scarlet Moon leapt over the hunching waitress, and whipped around the corner, shield flaring. Bodies lay scattered about the corridor, all clad in Silver Tower uniforms, including the guards accompanying Vanessa. "A group of them just rounded the corner," said Vanessa, her voice shuddering. "The guard captain started talking to them, and they just opened fire." "Looks like they knocked each other out," said Scarlet Moon. "I guess." Vanessa massaged her head. "I don't know, I don't really remember a whole lot." "Well, you should probably come with us," said Scarlet Moon, pulling Vanessa after her. "Probably safer than wandering around the tower alone." The trio headed for the elevator. [["Quietly: \"Just what I needed.

The elevator was above them. $She cracked $her knuckles and pulled the doors open. "Umm, what are you doing?" asked Vanessa. Scarlet Moon peered down into the shaft. [["\"This is the quickest way down to the sonic laboratory. And the safest.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_1a]] [["\"Getting us to the laboratory quickly, quietly, and safely.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_1a]] [["\"Keeping you safe.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_1a]]"Oh yes, because jumping into an empty elevator shaft is the safest thing ever," said Vanessa. "Why not take the stairs?" asked Bernice. "Falling takes less energy." Scarlet Moon grabbed Bernice and Vanessa, and tossed each over a shoulder. $She attached a crimson cord to the far end of the shaft, and leapt in. Vanessa screamed. <<if $ep2d3GuardsDistract>> <<include 'ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_no_guards'>> <<else>> <<include 'ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_guards'>> <</if>>They descended several floors. "Please, no more, no more," said Vanessa, flailing in Scarlet Moon's grip. "Careful, I'm going to drop you," said Scarlet Moon. "I need to get out of here." "Maybe you should take the stairs," said Juliana. "I didn't know Vanessa could freak out like that." "Ok, ok," said Scarlet Moon. $She stopped in front of a pair of elevator doors. $She pushed a few thin wafers of scarlet energy between the doors and forced them apart. $She swung into the empty hallway. As soon as $she set Vanessa down, the girl scrambled away from the doors, shivering and sobbing. "You know, not everyone is invincible." Bernice walked over to comfort Vanessa. Scarlet Moon crossed $her arms and scowled. [["\"They are if I'm holding them.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2]] [["\"Fine. Let's fight our way through charmed guards. That'll be less scary.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2]]There was a massive squealing of metal, and an elevator door a few levels down started to scrape open. Scarlet Moon stopped descending. Vanessa stopped screaming. The barrel of a particle rifle entered the shaft. It pointed down, and unleashed a spray of particle beams. The rifle pointed up. [[Shoot the rifle|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_guards_shoot]] [[Drop past them to a lower level.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_guards_stunned]]Scarlet Moon struck the rifle with a short burst, sending it flying down into the shaft. "Good shot," said Bernice. "Now just let one of them show their ugly--" A hand appeared and tossed something up to them. "Is that-" Scarlet Moon flared $her shield, and zipped them back up as fast as $she could go. A deafening boom rocked the shaft, and a dazzling flare blinded the $heroine. The trio rocked back and forth, slamming against first one wall, then the other. "Oh god oh god oh god," said Vanessa. "That was a grenade. A grenade!" "Stun grenade," said Bernice. "But yeah, can be lethal in an enclosed space like this." "My shield barely blocked that." Scarlet Moon blinked the spots away from $her eyes. "Think it can block a second one?" asked Bernice. "No." Scarlet Moon dissipated $her cord, and the trio plummeted. Vanessa screamed. In Scarlet Moon's ear. Again. Another rifle poked out into the shaft. [["\"Ooh shiny! Mine!\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_guards_shoot_1]] [["\"Put that down! You'll poke your eye out.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_guards_shoot_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_guards_shoot_1]]Scarlet Moon grabbed the rifle as they whipped past, yanking the guard into the shaft with them. $She snapped a cord against the wall with one hand, while grabbing the guard's shirt with the other. The four jerked to a halt. Bernice fired her pistol at point black range, stunning the guard before he could do more than gasp. Vanessa squeezed Scarlet Moon's ribs so hard it was a wonder the super$heroine hadn't passed out yet. Scarlet Moon threw the guard back into the room from which he'd come. $She grabbed the lip of the elevator doorway, and pulled the three of them up into the hallway. $She flared $her shield in time to block particle beams from two more guards. Scarlet Moon dropped $her two charges, and lunged forward. [["\"This is gonna hurt me more than it does you.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_guards_fight]] [["\"This'll only hurt a minute.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_guards_fight]] [[Say nothing|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_guards_fight]]<<include ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_guards_fight_victory>>Scarlet Moon zipped into the first guard, bodyslammig him to the ground, and kicked the other in the chest with enough force to send him dazed to the ground. Vanessa leaned against the corridor wall and sucked in a deep breath. "Oh yeah, elevator shaft. Real safe. Safest place I've ever been. After all this, I'm gonna open a daycare. 'Elevator-care' I'll call it. For five hundred bucks a month, we'll just drop your kid down an elevator shaft." "Shut up," said Scarlet Moon. "How was I supposed--" "Cut her some slack, she's just scared," said Juliana. "Do you have any idea how many times you almost dropped me? Do you? And what would have happened if one of those stupid particle beams got through your stupid little shield huh?" asked Vanessa. <<set $ep2d3DefeatedThreeGuards1 to true>> [["\"I...I'm sorry.

"You know, I thought you were a hero. Turns out you're just an incompetent, clumsy, dimwitted floozy." "That's enough." Bernice put a hand on Vanessa's shoulder. "I know you're scared. And for damned good reason. But without Scarlet Moon, we'd both be worshipping that lunatic upstairs." "Whatever." Vanessa pulled away from the cop. "Can we go? I want to go home." "Yes. Let's." Scarlet Moon started walking. "Don't listen to her," said Juliana. "Chastain's right, she's just scared, and taking it out on you." [["Quietly: \"Yeah, I know.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2]] [["Quietly: \"Next time I'll just let the supervillain have her.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2]]"Like hell you didn't."

Scarlet Moon grabbed Vanessa and pushed her facefirst against the wall. "Scarlet Moon what are you doing?" asked Juliana. Scarlet cords pinned Vanessa's wrists to the wall. Scarlet Moon hiked up the woman's tight black skirt to reveal a white thong wedged in a protruding pale posterior. $She wove $her shield into a scarlet paddle and struck Vanessa's bare right cheek. "Oww! Let go of me you half-naked brute." Vanessa wiggled her hips in pain. "I didn't do anything!" "I'm trying to save you and everybody else in this stinking tower." Scarlet Moon battered Vanessa's bouncing cheeks with the paddle. "The least you could do is stay out of my face." "Let go of me!" Vanessa flailed and tugged on her bindings. "I thought you were different from Buzzsaw, but you're not. You're just another God! Damn! Bully!" One of Vanessa's wrists snapped free and she pivoted, backhanding Scarlet Moon across the face. Scarlet Moon stumbled backward and slammed against the far wall. The other binding faded, and Vanessa rounded on the $superheroine. "Holy hello," said Juliana. "Calm down girl," said Bernice, grabbing Vanessa. "Before--" A trio of cops charged down the corridor. Particle beams flashed down the corridor, some bouncing off the walls, and others splattering across Scarlet Moon's shields. "Hey, hey I'm a cop, stop firing!" cried Bernice stepping forward and holding up her badge. [["\"Yeah, that'll work.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_guards_spank_1]] [["\"Girl's stronger than she looks.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_guards_spank_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_guards_spank_1]]The cops didn't stop, and a particle beam just barely missed Bernice's head. Scarlet Moon's eyes flared and $her fists clenched. "Remember they're victims too." Bernice backed up up. "Please don't hurt them any more than necessary." <<set $spanker to $spanker + 1>> [[Take them down.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_guards_spank_fight]]Scarlet Moon downed one with a scarlet beam. $She lashed a cord to the ceiling and zipped up into the air. $She twisted to avoid another particle beam, and landed on the second cop, flattening him. Scarlet Moon took a deep breath. $She picked up the cops' particle guns, and tossed them down the elevator shaft. "Man, none of them are my size," said Bernice, studying the prone cops. "Guess I'm doomed to fighting crime in panties. Though I guess you make it work." "This is a costume," said Scarlet Moon. "Sure it is," said Bernice. She walked over to Vanessa. "You doing ok?" "I'm fine." Vanessa stood and shook off Bernice's hand. "I just want out of this horrible tower." "You're not the only one," said Bernice. "Let's get moving." "So, you wanna talk about that whole breaking your binding and backhanding you into a wall thing?" asked Juliana. "That grenade probably took more out of me than I thought," murmured Scarlet Moon. "And I haven't fully recovered from my fight with Succubus either." "I hope so." [["\"Come on, what are the chances that all three of us developed superpowers?\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2]] [["\"We'll have to keep an eye on her though, in case she develops powers too.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2]]Scarlet Moon dissipated $her cord, and the trio plummetted, Vanessa screaming. Even Bernice started screaming. As soon as they were a few floors past, Scarlet Moon snapped a cord against the side of the shaft and smashed through another set of doors. The hallway on the other side was empty. Scarlet Moon set $her two charges down and wiped a forearm across $her brow. [["\"There that wasn't too bad was it? You even got to build some lung capacity!\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_guards_fight_victory]] [["\"Ok, I guess we're walking from here.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_guards_fight_victory]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_guards_fight_victory]]<<if $ep2d3GuardsDistract>> <<include 'ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_right_guards'>> <<else>> <<include 'ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_right_continue'>> <</if>>"Wait a minute, I thought they said to go left," said Bernice. "I don't trust them," said Scarlet Moon. "Could be Succubus trying to mislead us." "I don't know, we haven't seen any sign Succubus' control is that nuanced," said Juliana. "Perhaps it's best to--" Particle beams erupted ahead of them. Scarlet Moon bolted forward, and whipped around the corner, just in time to see the head of the guards go down with a beam to the gut. Vanessa screamed and backpedaled. Scarlet Moon wrapped a cord around Vanessa's waist and yanked her into $her arms. $She flung the girl back around the corner just before a beam struck Scarlet Moon where Vanessa's head had been. Three guards stood on the far side of the hall, guns pointed. [["\"Oh good. I could use the exercise.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_right_fight]] [["\"Sorry guys. But this is for your own good.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_right_fight]] [[Say nothing|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_right_fight]]Scarlet Moon led the trio down the corridor. "Still can't believe you just attacked those guards," said Vanessa. She clutched her arms and shivered. "Yeah, and they didn't stand a chance." Bernice looked sideways at Scarlet Moon. "Despite all their training and weapons. What'll we do if you decide being a villain is more fun?" "You even thinking of turning evil, and I'll spank you for a month straight," said Juliana. Scarlet Moon smirked. "Oh, I think I know somebody who might be able to stop me." "Might?" said Juliana. "Didn't you know the pen is mightier than the sword? And my friend, I've got a mean pen." The trio rounded a corner. A particle gun whined and a beam splattered against the wall next to Bernice's head. "Get back!" Scarlet Moon grabbed Bernice and Vanessa and pulled them back around the corner. "Hey, I'm a cop!" shouted Bernice. She stuck her badge around the corner. "Stop shooting!" Particle guns whined, and Bernice hastily snapped her arm back. "More of Succubus' thralls," said Scarlet Moon. "How does she have so many of them? And how are they down here so fast? And how did she know we'd be here?" asked Vanessa. "She doesn't," said Bernice. "Probably spent the past few weeks building up a network of thralls in Silver Tower. She's probably effectively owned Silver Tower for a week or more. Today she's just making it official." [["\"I hope she likes her newfound influence.

A few particle beams splashed against Scarlet Moon's shield, but $she barely acknowledged them. "Your powers are so incredible," murmured Juliana. "Are you ok?" asked Bernice, touching Vanessa's shoulder. Vanessa nodded. "They just came out of nowhere and started shooting. Never even said anything." Bernice looked over the guards. "Man, none of them are my size either." "You know, you could just wear pants that are too big," said Scarlet Moon. "Oh yes, because running around with pants around my ankles would be such an improvement," said Bernice. "Do you see any belts?" "I guess that makes sense." Bernice's head swung up. "Do you hear that?" Scarlet Moon stopped breathing for a moment and listened. $She could barely make out the sound of running feet. It was getting louder. "Sounds like it's coming from ahead of us," said Bernice. "Come on." Scarlet Moon turned back the way they came. "We'll go the other way." The trio soon came to a pair of elevator doors. <<set $ep2d3DefeatedThreeGuards2 to true>> [["\"Watch this.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_1]] [["\"Going down.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_1_left_1]]The trio made their slow way through the building, sticking to the stairs whenever they went down. They often had to slip into tower hallways to avoid patrolling guards. Occasionally, Succubus came on the PA system to mock Scarlet Moon. Vanessa calmed down as they walked. She even stopped throwing glares at Scarlet Moon. "Geez, this tower is huge," said Scarlet Moon. "Silver Tower isn't just the administrative headquarters of Silver Ant," said Juliana. "It also has most of their research, prototyping, and software development. Silver likes to keep as much as possible close to home. Probably makes it easier to suddenly drop in and scare the love out of her employees." "Where is everybody?" asked Vanessa. "I mean, shouldn't their days have started by now?" "Office's gone into lockdown. Probably employees cowering on the other side of that door and hoping Scarlet Moon doesn't smash through the wall," said Bernice. "Bernice's right," said Juliana. "It's all over the news." Bernice froze. She cocked her head, as if listening. She turned on her heel and hurried the other way. She stopped again after a few more steps. [["\"I don't like that look Chastain.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_3]] [["\"You hear something?\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_3]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_3]]"I don't hear anything," said Vanessa. Pounding boots echoed off the walls from both sides of the hallway, and a pair of guards rounded both corners, trapping the three between them. They started shooting. Scarlet Moon expanded $her shield to cover the whole hallway. $She tried firing a beam at the guards in front of them, but they just swung around the corner. As soon as $she stopped shooting, they whipped back around and started firing again. "Any ideas?" asked the superheroine, $her voice straining under the pressure. "Throw Bernice and Vanessa into an office, and attack," said Juliana. "Into that vent," said Bernice, pointing at a rather large ventilation shaft above them. "You sure we'll fit?" asked Vanessa. "Did you see the last one?" [[Throw Bernice and Chastain into an office|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office]] [[Into the vent|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_vents]]Scarlet Moon ripped the door off a nearby office. "What are you doing?" asked Bernice. Scarlet Moon grabbed Vanessa and Bernice and shoved them through. "Find someplace to hide!" $She charged the guards.

Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the ceiling and zipped up into the air. $She braced against the ceiling, and rocketed down towards the guards, swirling a staff into existence, and twirling like helicopter blades. The four didn't stand a chance. "OK, this is getting old," said Scarlet Moon, dissipating the staff and looking at the groaning guards. "You gotta find us a faster route." "I'll see what I can do," said Juliana. "God, this building is complicated." "Yeah, but I thought you were like a super genius." "Doesn't mean my eyes are any better at following tiny twisty lines." Scarlet Moon returned to the door $she'd ripped off its hinges. $She could hear a rhythmic slapping and muffled yelps. "I swear, I can't leave those two alone for five minutes," said Scarlet Moon. $She went through the door and found $herself in a small cubicle farm. "Cubicles? Really? I thought Silver Ant was supposed to be modern and hip. Well, as modern and hip as a massive multinational corporation can be." "Yeah, but Phillipa Silver hates open offices with the fiery passion of a thousand suns," said Juliana. "She blogged one heck of a screed against them a while back." "I see." Scarlet Moon followed the sound of smacking to a proper office in the back with the name "Dr. Park" emblazoned on it. "Holy hello, I think that's Dr. Park Kyung-sook," said Juliana. "She's one of Silver Ant's leading scientists. Apparently she helped design the sound lab we want to use. You might want to get on her good side." [["\"I promise nothing!\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_fight_2_victory_1]] [["\"I'll see what I can do.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_fight_2_victory_1]] [["\"So long as it doesn't involve me getting spanked.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_fight_2_victory_1]]Scarlet Moon entered the rear office, and came face to butt with Bernice, who was bent over a dark wood-paneled desk. Her pink lace panties were ridden even further up her butt than normal, revealing almost two-thirds of her firm, bright pink cheeks. Vanessa stood off to one side, looking mildly amused. An older woman of Asian descent stood next to her with a doubled-up belt raised above her head. The woman was five foot nothing and *maybe* 100 pounds soaking wet, but her sharp pantssuit, tight hairbun and severe expression made her plenty intimidating. The thick belt helped too. <<if $sexyOutfit>> <<include 'ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_sexy_costume'>> <<else>> <<include 'ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_help'>> <</if>>The woman looked at Scarlet Moon. Her eyes popped open wide when she took in the superheroine's costume. "What's this? Another young <<female 'woman' 'person'>> who doesn't cover $her bottom? Well, bend over next to your friend, I got plenty of licks for you too!" [["\"Umm, what?\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_what]] [["\"Yeah, I don't think so grandma.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_grandma]] [["\"Yes ma'am.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_submit]]"I said get your tushy over here and bend over my desk," said the woman. She snapped the belt across Bernice's mostly-bare cheeks making the police woman bounce up on her tippy-toes and squeal. "<<female 'Any woman' 'Anybody'>> dressed like you needs a good thrashing." "You do realize I'm a superhero right?" "Yeah? And is there some law of the universe that says superheroes need to dress like strippers?" The woman snapped the belt across Bernice's bottom, just below the last one. It whapped her sitspots and kissed the very tops of her thighs. "Nobody's going to take you seriously dressed like that." "Have you seen how my enemy dresses?" "And if your enemy jumped off a bridge, would you jump after them?" The woman lashed Bernice's thighs, making the cop leap up and howl, clutching at the backs of her legs. The woman grabbed the back of Bernice's uniform shirt and pushed her back over. "Well, yeah. They're probably trying to get away." The woman frowned. She snapped the belt across Bernice's sitspots. "So it was a bad example. Doesn't mean you're not going over my desk." "Look, I'm not going to just let you belt me. I'm trying to save you and everyone else in this tower." "And I'm very glad to have you." The woman and pointed the belt at Scarlet Moon. "But your outfit is *not* appropriate. When people look at you, they don't see a hero. They see <<female 'tits' 'chesthair'>> and ass. Is that what you want them to see?" [["\"Yes!\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_yes]] [["\"Well, that does mean they're not seeing my face, so they're less likely to recognize me if I happen to know them, or even if they just see me on the street.

The woman grabbed Scarlet Moon and spun $herm around. She snapped the belt across the superheroine's exposed buttocks, leaving a bright red welt across both cheeks. "Oww!" Scarlet Moon clutched $her stinging cheeks. $She flared $her shield. "Look lady, you can't just run around strapping random people because you don't like their outfits." "You're in my office, you follow my rules. That's company policy." "But I don't work here." "Don't care. Bend over, or get out." "Remember what I said about getting on this woman's good side?" asked Juliana. [["\"Well, then it's out I go. You want to hang on to these two?\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_out]] [[Bend over.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_submit]]"No, no she doesn't." Bernice jumped to her feet, and spun around. "Did I say you could get up?" asked the Dr. Park. "Umm, no ma'am. But I need to go help stop the bad guys." "Well, I guess that's reasonable." The woman opened her closet. "But first you need to cover your bottom." Bernice rubbed her red cheeks. "Not sure that sound as good as it once did." [["\"Careful what you wish for.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_leave]] [["\"Let's just go, please.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_leave]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_leave]]"How many pairs of pants do you have in there?" asked Vanessa. "As many as I can reasonably afford. My employees *will* dress appropriately." Dr. Park handed a pair of pants to Bernice. "I've got skirts, shirts and blouses too." Bernice hopped around the office, trying to tug a pair of pants up and over her swollen bottom. "Yeah, they're a little small," said Dr. Park. "Best I could do." Bernice wiggled the tight material over her bottom with a grunt. "Ohhh, that stings." She craned around to look at her bottom, barely encased in the skintight pants. "Man, I feel like I'm gonna split these things." "You do, and you're going back over my desk," said Dr. Park. Bernice blanched. "Just kidding. Now get out of here." "Well, I'm staying here," said Vanessa. "I've had enough of superhero antics, thank you very much." "Great. I could use the help," said Dr. Park. Scarlet Moon and Bernice hurried out. "So tell me again why you, a police officer, agreed to be belted by a little old lady?" "She offered me pants. You have no idea how obnoxious it is--" Bernice eyed the back of Scarlet Moon's outfit. "Actually, maybe you do. Except you're doing it by choice." [["\"Of course. You're not a superhero if you're not hypersexualized.\""|ep2d3_sonic_room]] [["\"Well, you know. Nothing like a mask to lower your inhibitions.\""|ep2d3_sonic_room]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_sonic_room]]Dr. Park tapped her lips. She snapped the belt across Bernice's bare cheeks. Once. Twice. Three times. "Well, I suppose that makes somse sense. Not a lot of sense. But then your powers don't make any sense at all, so the bar's pretty low." [["Quietly: \"Can't believe that worked.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_help]] [["\"Nice to know you're so reasonable.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_help]] [[Sigh in relif.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_help]]"Oh come on, after all the time I spent on it?" said Juliana. "Show some pride, $woman!" "Very good. Now, why don't you join your friend over my desk?" "But won't that draw more attention to my bottom?" "Frankly my dear, I don't think that's possible. Now less yakking and more bending."

"Cute. Were you always this rude, is it the anonymity from the mask, or delusions of superiority?" "You're just jealous because you can't touch this." Scarlet Moon turned around and smacked $her own ass. "What are you doing?" asked Juliana. "What part of 'We should get on her good side' didn't you understand?" Dr. Parks snapped the belt across Bernice's bottom. "What are you doing in my office? Shouldn't you be off fighting the floozy upstairs?" "Well, mostly I came to make sure those two were ok. Oh, and apparently you're like some super smart scientist lady who designed an entire sonic laboratory downstairs? Well, I need to use it to stop Succubus, so you really should help me with it," said Scarlet Moon. "So that I don't blow out any eardrums or something." Smacking emanated from Scarlet Moon's blue tooth. Dr. Parks laughed. And laughed. And then laughed some more. "Get out of my office. And take your friends with you." "Mind if I stay here?" asked Vanessa. "I don't like getting shot at." "You said I could have pants if I let you spank me," said Bernice. "Very well. Of course." Dr. Parks glared at Scarlet Moon. "Out." [["\"Whatever you say granny.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_grandma_1]] [["\"I was leaving anyway.\""|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_grandma_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_grandma_1]]"With pleasure." Scarlet Moon spun on $her heel and walked out. "What on earh is wrong with you?" asked Juliana. "What? I'm tired of letting people spank me left and right. What good is a damned forcefield, if I can't even use it to protect my bottom?" "Do you have any idea how much harder you've just made everything?" asked Juliana. "I wasn't going to let her spank me." "So you could have tried to talk her out of it respectfully." "Screw that crap. I'm a superhero not a corporate cog sucking up to $her supervisor." Juliana sighed. "I'm going to spank you. The minute you get back, I am going to spank you *so hard.*" "I'd like to see you try," said Scarlet Moon. Bernice came back out wearing some very tight pants. "She didn't really have any in my size," said Bernice with a grimace. She rubbed her bottom and winced. "Tight pants over a swollen bottom is not fun." "Then why'd you agree to it?" asked Scarlet Moon. "Because I like wearing pants." "Not worth it." "Well obviously you think so." <<set $ep2d3MockedDrParks to true>> [["\"Obviously.\""|ep2d3_sonic_room]] [["\"Pants are overrated.\""|ep2d3_sonic_room]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_sonic_room]]Scarlet Moon sighed. "Nobody ever said being a superheroine was easy," said Juliana. Scarlet Moon stepped up next to Bernice and bent over the desk. $Her straight legs pushed $her <<fat>> bottom out behind $herm. $Her back arched, further emphasizing the rounded swell of $her cheeks, left completely bare by the thong backing of $her costume. $She pressed $her torso against the <<female 'desk, her ample breasts mashing against the cool wood paneling.' 'desk.'>> <<sore 'Dr. Parks grunted in satisfaction. "Looks like *somebody\'s* had a lot of practice. I can\'t imagine why."' "You regret flashing your glutes?">> Scarlet Moon ground $her teeth together. "Don't go making a fuss," said Juliana. "Just take the belting and move on." Bernice took Scarlet Moon's hand. "Be warned, that beeeegh!" The belt cracked across Bernice's outrust bottom, and the desk shook as the police officer bounced up and down on it. "Quiet you. You're supposd to be taking a belting, not yakking with your friend." The belt snapped across Scarlet Moon's exposed cheeks, sending a line of fire across their peaks. [["Owww!" Kick and squirm.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_submit_1]] [["Wow that stings!" Buck your hips.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_submit_1]] [[Grunt and rock your hips.|ep2d3_cat_and_mouse_2_office_scientist_submit_1]]"Looks like we've got a squirmer," said Dr. Parks. Scarlet Moon could hear the smirk in that b- *Whack!* Scarlet Moon squeaked. $Her bottom bucked as a line of fire traced $her sitspots, and $she drummed $her heels against the tile floor. The belt whipped across $her wobbling, squirming cheeks six more times. It traveled from $her sitspots to the tips of $her cheeks and back down again, leaving parallel rivers of fire on Scarlet Moon's skin. Scarlet Moon wailed with every stroke. $Her <<fat>>, <<jiggly>> bottom wiggled and clenched. $She pounded $her heels against the floor and slapped the table with $her palm. "My goodness you're pretty terrible at taking the belt, aren't you?" said Dr. Parks. "Tell me, is it the helplessness, the fact that your bottom is hanging out, or just the straight up pain?" [["\"None of your business!

There was no line of fire, instead Bernice hopped and squeezed Scarlet Moon's hand. The belt lashed Bernice's bottom a dozen more times in rapid succession, making the police officer howl. She squeezed Scarlet Moon's hand so hard the super$heroine worried the woman was going to break it. The scientist followed up with a dozen lashes across Scarlet Moon's rump. Scarlet Moon sucked in deep breaths through $her nose. $She squeezed $her eyes shut. $Her knees remained locked, and the only movement was the wobbling of $her fleshy cheeks beneath the strap. Two dozen times. Scarlet Moon gnawed on $her forearm. Tears gathered in the corners of $her eyes. $She squeezed $her eyes so tight $her eyelids started to ache. $Her knees remained locked, and the only movement was the wobbling of $her fleshy cheeks beneath the strap. Three dozen times. Scarlet Moon whimpered into $her arm. $She squeezed Bernice's hand, and $her other hand closed into a fist. A few tears traced their ways down $her cheeks. One knee gave the tiniest bit, and $her heels scraped against the tile. Four dozen times. [["\"God, when will you stop?

"I'm done," said Dr. Parks. "Both of you may stand. Officer, let's get you some pants. You too Ms. Moon." Scarlet Moon stood and rubbed $her throbbing bottom. $She hissed and whimpered, angry and shamed. "I don't want your ugly pants." The doctor shrugged. "You want to run around with your stripes hanging out for all to see? Fine." "That, uh, sounded like it hurt," said Juliana. Scarlet Moon rubbed $her throbbing bottom. <<modifySore 1>> <<set $ep2d3BeltedByDrParks to true>> <<set $spankee to $spankee + 1>> <<modifySore 1>> [[Quietly: "\"Really?

Do you have any idea how narrow a range of sounds the human ear can safely handle?" "Here let me talk to her," said Juliana. "Just tap your right ear three times." "Here, look I've got a friend who wants to talk to you." Scarlet Moon tapped $her right ear three times. Something came loose in $her mask. A little bit of fishing, and $she brought out an earpiece. "Fine." Dr. Parks took the earpiece. "But only because Phillipa insisted we help you." For the next ten minutes, Parks alternated between spouting technobabble and listened with a deep frown. The frown gradually faded, and Parks' tone moderated a little with each question. She handed back the headset. "Ok fine. I don't think the pop idea is going to work. I need to think about it. In the meantime, get down to the sonic laboratory and lure Succubus down there. I won't let you send anything over the PA. Too dangerous."

"Hiding in an office while the tower's in lockdown is a whole lot safer than chasing after us." Scarlet Moon frowned. "Yeah, I guess that's true." "I'm sure she'll be fine," said Juliana. "You need to get moving though. Things are getting tense outside. The cops are trying to negotiate with Succubus, but she's having none of it. If anything she seems to be goading them." "She probably wants them to rush the tower, so that she can enthrall them." "Yeah, and that's just what we need. Succubus in control of a SWAT team." "Come on Bernice. Your buddies outside are getting itchy," said Scarlet Moon. "That little voice in your ear tell you that?" Bernice followed after Scarlet Moon. "They're quite handy. If a bit obnoxious."

She walked back out into the hallway. "Yo, Succubus! You know what your momma told me last night, after I finished plowing her ass doggy style? She said you're an empty-headed, fat-ass skank with a neckbeard's fashion sense!" "There's no way that's going to work," said Juliana. "Excuse me?" said Succubus over the PA. "You think *I* have bad fashion? The cop who ran all over Silver Tower in nothing but her panties thinks *I* have bad fashion sense?" "Hey that wasn't by choice," said Bernice. "Can't say the same about you. It'd be less tacky if you just ran around naked." "I look gorgeous in this outfit," said Succubus. "And have you seen Scarlet Moon?" "$Her costume's tacky too," said Bernice. "Hey!" said Juliana. "I worked hard on that thing."

Succubus growled and the PA shut off. Bernice returned to the sound room, dusting off her hands. "See? Easy." Scarlet Moon blinked. "Well, get behind me or something." Mere minutes later, Succubus burst into the room, trailed by six security guards. "Alright you little-" Bernice fired six quick bursts from her particle gun. She struck two of the security guards right in the chest, though the other shots went wide. The remaining guards unleashed a flurry of particle beams that sent Bernice scrambling behind Scarlet Moon.

"Alright boys--" A gyrating wail split the sound room, jumping up and down in pitch, rolling and pulsing. Scarlet Moon and Bernice hunched, clutching their ears. The sound stopped. Silver's voice erupted from the PA. "Shoot Succubus!" The four remaining guards pointed their guns at Succubus and fired. Two dozen particle beams struck Succubus in the space of a few seconds. Succubus swayed woozily before collapsing. One of the guards leapt on Succubus, handcuffed her and pulled a hood over her head. Scarlet Moon stared down at Succubus' bound form.

"Well, there's nothing stopping you. You've got a couple of minutes at least before the cops bust in." <<include 'ep2d3_succubus_spanking'>>"Yes ma'am." A sharp pop echoed through the room. Two of the security guards jumped. They groaned, and shook their heads. The two remaining pivoted and shot them. "Well, I guess that could have gone worse," said Scarlet Moon. "Stupid security training," muttered Juliana. "Very clever Moon, but it'll take more than a pop to stop me," said Succubus. "Good thing I've got more," said Scarlet Moon, $her eyes glowing. Succubus' bodyguards charged, particle beams firing. Scarlet Moon flattened one with a scarlet beam.

She whirled, her cape flying up behind her, and ran. Her soft buttocks, left exposed by her thong leotard, rolled with every step. Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the roof, zipped into the air, flipped around and landed in front of Succubus. $She caught the fleeing villain and kneed her in the gut. Succubus fell to her knees with a groan, her cape floating out behind her. "Well, well would you look at that," said Scarlet Moon. "You're shorter than you look." Succubus' lip curled. "Gloat while you can, I'll have the cops under my thumb before we're halfway to the station." "Yes, that would be most unfortunate, wouldn't it?" Scarlet Moon spied a hood and handcuffs on the belt of one of the groaning security guards. $She snagged both with a couple of Scarlet cords. $She shoved the hood over Succubus' face, and handcuffed her hands behind her. Succubus squirmed, and said something. It was too muffled by the hood to make out, but it sounded indignant. "That oughta solve that little problem." Scarlet Moon put $her hands on $her hips.

"Oh come on, I'm in the middle of something here," said Scarlet Moon. "Release the suspect and back away," said the officer. "And I was just getting started too."

"It's not fair," said $name into the pillow. "I saved the city from a lunatic mind-controlling supervillain!" "Yeah, but it made you late to class," said Juliana. $name grumbled. "Shoulda just let Succubus take over Silver Tower." "Oh come now. A spanking's a small price to pay for saving a skyscraper full of innocent people." "Easy for you to say."

Juliana swatted $name's bottom with swift, sharp strokes, making the $heroine's bare <<sore 'red' '<<skincolor>>'>> buttocks dance. $name pressed $her face into the pillow and squealed. $She drummed $her feet against the bed, while $her fingers dug into the pillow. For at least twenty minutes, the hairbrush battered $name's crimson bottom. The brush stung badly enough when $her bottom wasn't molten<<sore ', but now?'

"Bend over and take the spanking I've earned?" asked $name. "That's right, because what'll happen if you don't?" "You'll give me worse." "Better believe it." Juliana set the brush down and pulled $name into a hug. "Sorry I had to be so harsh with you, but you put a lot of people at risk." [["\"I know.

"If I wasn't about to take a spanking from that lunatic scientist, what makes you think I'm going to take one from you?" "Because you acted like a selfish little brat, who values $her ability to sit more than the freedom of an entire skyscraper." "Of course. And when a jerkass thinks spanking me is more important than the freedom of an entire skyscraper, that's totally fine." Juliana's expression softened a little bit, and she lowered the hairbrush. "Well, you were being kind of rude--" "I had just spent the past hour running from a supervillain, right after spending fifteen minutes getting knocked around the room by her. I had a snarky cop and a grumpy waitress tagging along behind me that I had to worry about. You don't think that maybe I wasn't the tiny bit grumpy?" Juliana crossed her arms. For a moment she didn't say anything.

The door unlocked. $name slipped in, closing it behind $herm. "So, what do you think?" Juliana did a little twirl. She wore a closed, low-cut, grey-black jacket that extended to a few inches above her belly button, showing off the woman's pillowy breasts on one end, and firm, caramel midriff on the other. The jacket was decorated with an assortment of "military" honors. Looking closely, $name saw random scout badges, a few high school varsity athletics pins, some participation ribbons, and a fake medallion that looked like it came out of a cereal box. She wore a tight pencil skirt that extended about two-thirds down her thighs. She completed the ensemble with a pair of fishnets and black stiletto boots that went halfway up her calves. "Say hello to Generalissima!" "Generalissima?" "Female General." "You're naming yourself after Latin American dictators?" "No! I just figured, you know I'm Hispanic, so--" "So you decided to invoke Latin America's long, bloody history of being controlled by brutal dictators?" "So I didn't think it through." Juliana crossed her arms and pouted. "Not all of us have an obvious name. Besides, I asked you about my costume, not my name."

Juliana's ample bubble butt strained against the tight skirt, presenting the perfect target. "Hey!" $name's hand arced through the air and cracked against Juliana's right cheek, making the firm buttock bounce. Juliana squeaked and squirmed, wiggling her hips as $name peppered her bottom with six stinging slaps. $name released Juliana, who stumbled away and rubbed her bottom. "I was just kidding," said Juliana. "Ready to go?" asked $name. "No." $name took a step forward, $her hand cocking. "Yes! Yes, I'm totally ready, let's go. I am so ready to have my butt publicly spanked by a slightly superpowered amazon." "Relax. It's far worse than it sounds." Juliana groaned.

"Come on, do we have to?" asked Generalissima, clutching the seat of her skirt. "Can't you just spank me instead?" "I could spank you too." Generalissima whimpered. "Oh, stop being a big baby." Scarlet Moon pushed the intercom. "It's not like you're new to getting your bum toasted." "Yeah, but usually it happens quick. Somebody decides they don't like me, so they spank me right then and there. Not this big drawn out 24 hour delay thing." "Oh yes, you only ever get spanked because people don't like you." "That's not the point!" The speaker crackled. "Welcome, Scarlet Moon. We've been expecting you." "Hey, I'm here too," said Generalissima. "Ah yes, the morning's entertainment. Please come in." "Hey!" Scarlet Moon hurried through the opening gate, mostly to hide $her smirk. "I'll show her some entertainment," muttered Generalissima. "Yes, yes you will," said the speaker. "Scarlet Moon, could you blast that stupid thing?" [["\"And get my bum burned *again*?\""|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_1]] [["\"Um, no.\""|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_1]] [[Roll your eyes.|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_1]]As the two approached the mansion, the front door swung open. Clemency stood in the doorway, silouetted in the bright entrance way lights. Generalissima swallowed, and her hands snaked back to cover her bottom. "She looks a lot bigger in real life." "Funny how that works." Scarlet Moon walked up the stairs. "Morning Clemency." "Morning." Clemency nodded respectfully to Scarlet Moon. "Good job yesterday." Scarlet Moon shrugged. "I try." "Yeah, yeah everything's wonderful, Scarlet Moon's awesome, can we just get this over with?" Generalissima walked up the steps. Clemency stepped to the side to let the two in. "This place is bigger in person too." Generalissima craned her neck back. "So I take it that lonely chair in the middle is where we're uh, doing the thing?" "Eventually. But first, breakfast." "We don't need breakfast. I need you to spank me so that we can go on with our lives." "Oh come now, Ms. Silver would have my hide if I didn't offer you breakfast." "You didn't offer Scarlet Moon breakfast yesterday." "Yes, and my old hide now adorns Ms. Silver's walls." [["\"You know, breakfast does sound good.\""|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_2]] [["\"Oh come on Generalissima, I'll bet Silver's got her own personal chef!\""|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_2]] [["\"Mmm.

Generalissima forced a smile. "Oh they're fine, I'm just uh--" "Ah yes, nervous. Don't worry it's not so bad." "Really?" "Yeah. Just an eternity of a building burn as she smacks your well-padded bottom crimson, then a week or so of whimpering every time you sit down. Or put on tight pants. Or feel a breeze. Or take a shower. Or--" "You're not helping!" The cook smirked and walked off. "Hate this place. Can't we just do it already?" Generalissima threw her fork on her plate. "You're right. Why don't you go back into the entrance hall, remove your skirt, bend over and put your hands on the chair. We'll be along shortly," said Clemency. "How shortly?" Clemency smiled. "Fine." Generalissima stomped out (as well as one can in stiletto heels). "Your friend hates waiting, doesn't she?" asked Clemency. Scarlet Moon narrowed $her eyes. [["\"This is all just to make her stew, isn't it?\""|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_4]] [["\"How do you know that?\""|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_4]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_4]]"How do you do that?" "What?" "Your mask eyes just narrowed." "Umm, Generalissima probably made some modifications." "Generalissima? She named herself after Latin American dictators?" Scarlet Moon shrugged. "So she's bad at names." "Costumes too." Scarlet Moon shrugged again. There were a few beats of silence. "So, we gonna go?" asked Scarlet Moon. "Nah." Clemency grabbed a fork and started eating Generalissima's abandoned eggs. "Um, ok." "Me, I hate getting spanked. But waiting for one usually doesn't bother me as much. I figure every minute my butt isn't on fire is a happy minute. But Alexandra, man she hates the anticipation. You really want to get to her? Like, really make it sink in? Schedule her spankings. Then, once it's time, really draw it out. Make her marinate in her own dread."

Because, you'll probably have to save her again sometime, and she'd make for an obnoxious damsel in distress." Clemency finished up the eggs and drink the entirety of Generalissima's orange juice in one gulp. She clapped her hands. "Alright, let's do the thing. Ms. Silver's gonna get impatient if this takes much longer." Scarlet Moon followed Clemency back into the main hall. $She spied a dozen faces peeking through doors at the spectacle in the middle of the room. And what a spectacle. Generalissima stood bent over the back of the chair, with her hands on the seat. Her thick thighs pressed tightly together. Her skirt lay on the ground next to her. Her straight knees and high heels made her callipygian butt the highest point on her body. Her rotund buttocks were framed by a black garter, and left effectively bare by a tiny cameo thong. Generalissima looked over her shoulder. "Finally. What kept you?" "Breakfast should never be rushed. Now stand up." Generalissima stood, and Clemency slid into the seat and patted her knee. "Wait a minute, if I'm going over your lap, why'd you make me come in here and bend over the chair?" "You were getting on my nerves. Figured this would keep you busy, and I could eat in peace. Now, quit stalling and get over my lap." "You accuse me of stalling--" Clemency grabbed Generalissima around the waist and yanked her over her knees. She slid one arm under Generalissima's long legs and shifted the superheroine across her lap until her ample bottom was situated over Clemency's right thigh. She hooked her left leg over Generalissima's bare thighs. [["\"Ooh, this is gonna be good.\""|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_6]] [["\"'Bout time Generalissima paid the price of superheroing.\""|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_6]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_6]]Generalissima's body formed a sharp V over Clemency's thigh, and her butt hung a little over Clemency's leg, pointed towards the kitchen door. Her knees were slightly bent and her heels scrabbled against the wood floor. Clemency pressed her right hand against the small of Generalissima's back, her fingers digging into the skin left bare by Generalissima's jacket. She raised her left hand above her head and waited. And waited. And waited. And waited some more. Generalissima squirmed a little, whimpering ever so softly. Clemency looked up at Scarlet Moon and gave her a wink. [[Rub your hands together and laugh maniacally.|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_7]] [[Wink back.|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_7]] [["\"You are so evil.\""|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_7]]She brought her hand down on Generalissima's right buttock. The sharp crack reverberated up and down the walls of the entranceway. Generalissima's body lurched forward, and her firm yet plushy bottom wobbled beneath Clemency's large hand. The superheroine squealed, and her legs slammed against Clemency's. "And that is why it's always a good idea to loop your leg over your spankee's when they're wearing heels," said Clemency. "I'd probably be on the ground bleeding right now." "Serve you right," said Generalissima. "Ah, yes I see what you're doing." Clemency raised her hand above her head and brought it crashing down on Generalissima's left buttock. Once again, Generalissima lurched beneath the stroke. Once again her bottom wobbled and once again her legs slammed against Clemency's. "You're trying to provoke me. Make me spank you harder, or faster. Sure it'll hurt more, but at least you'll know you have some control. You'll know that you're not a completely and utterly powerless little girl. You'll know that you have some minimal influence over your bare. Bottom. Spanking." "Technically, it's not bare bottom," said Generalissima."I'm wearing a thong." "So you are." Clemency clapped Generalissima's left cheek. "So you are." "So your *mom* is." "My mother is dead." Clemency smacked Generalissima's right cheek. "Oww! Oh, uh, sorry." [["\"Way to be a dick Generalissima.\""|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_8]] [["\"That sucks.\""|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_8]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_8]]"I'm just kidding. She's running Ms. Silver's London office." Clemency smacked Generalissima's left cheek. "Visited her over the summer. Gorgeous place. And man, they are crazy with canes. They only do it for fun though, because Brits are weird. But I learned some pretty good techniques from them. Maximum squeals for minimum effort, that's their motto! Wanna see?" "No," said Generalissima, squirming up and down Clemency's thigh. "Please don't." "Are you sure? It's gotta be felt to be believed." Clemency smacked Generalissima's right cheek. "Yes." "Oh, so do you want the cane." Clemency smacked Generalissima's left cheek. "No! No I don't want it, please don't cane me," said Generalissima. "First you don't, then you do, then you don't. Make up your mind you silly girl." Clemency smacked Generalissima's right left cheek. "I don't, I don't, I don't." "You don't want to make up your mind? Well then I guess I'll just have to spank you until you do." Clemency leaned forward a little and rapid fired, her hand lifting mere inches off of Generalissima's bobbling buttock before snapping back down again. In the space of a few breaths she landed a dozen smacks before moving to the superheroine's other cheek. [["\"My life is complete.\""|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_9a]] [["Quietly: \"Evil indeed.\""|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_9a]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_9a]]"Oww! Oww! Oww!" Generalissima drummed her toes against the floor. Her hips bucked about. She arched her back, and lifted her torso up. She pushed against the chair as if she could push herself right off Clemency's lap. "I don't want to be caned! Oww! I don't want to be caned! I don't want to be caned!" "See? Was that so hard?" Clemency shifted back to the right buttock and rapid fired. "Oww! Why aren't you slowing down? Oww! Oww! Oww!" Generalissima bucked harder. Her toes smashed against the floor and her hair flew about her face. "Hey now, don't go scuffing the floor." Clemency shifted to the left buttock. "I'd have to spank you faster if you do." Generalissima's toes slowed. They didn't stop, but they weren't drumming quite so fiercely. "That's a good girl." Clemency shifted back to the right buttock. And so it went for several minutes. Scarlet Moon didn't know how many minutes, because $she didn't have a watch and the ominous grandfather clock was clear on the other side of the hall. But it was several. Clemency's hand snapped up and down non-stop, roving from Generalissima's sitspots to just below her hips and back down again. The sorta-naked heroine's caramel bottom took on a distinct red hue. She slumped across Clemency's thigh, too tired to do much more than whimper and cry as the woman battered her burning bottom. [["\"Ouch.\""|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_10]] [["\"She's gonna feel that in the morning. And the morning after.\""|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_10]] [[Say nothing.|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_10]]"And done," said Clemency with a quick one-two smack to each cheek. "Now go stand in the corner for...how old are you?" "Just turned nineteen," said Generalissima. "Nineteen minutes then." Clemency gave Generalissima's red bum a swat to get her moving. "Oww! Um, which corner?" Generalissima hopped a little, clutching at her bottom. "Next to the ominous grandfather clock." Generalissima walked away, sniffing and rubbing her eyes. "Hope you weren't rubbing your nose with that knuckle! You'll get pink eye!" [["\"So, uh, why didn't I get corner time?\""|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_9]] [["\"Thank God I didn't have to do that.\""|ep2d3_end_generalissima_spanked_mansion_9]]"You want corner time?" "No no no. No. No." Clemency smirked. "You spent several hours curled up beneath the floor in Ms. Silver's office. Sounds worse than cornertime to me." "Well, I guess that makes sense." Once Generalissima's timeout was over, she pulled her skirt back on and hurried out of the mansion, sniffling and whimpering. "You doing ok?" asked Scarlet Moon as they walked back through the gates. "I'm fine. Least it's finally over." Generalissima tapped her lips thoughtfully. "Although I do like the idea of putting someone in a timeout for a minute for every year. I might have to remember that one." [["\"Well that's not ominous foreshadowing.\""|ep2d3_end_end]] [["\"Oh God, this is gonna backfire hard on me isn't it?\""|ep2d3_end_end]] [[Groan.|ep2d3_end_end]]Meanwhile, the latest news about Scarlet Moon's confrontation with Succubus played on a small television in a small sitting room somewhere in the city. A woman entered the room. She had long, rich, flowing red tresses that extended all the way down to the small of her back. She wore small, upward-angled shoulder plates that gave her a broad-shouldered look. Attached to the shoulder plates was what appeared to be a bikini top made out of chainmail that exposed the top and inner valley of her round, firm, full breasts. A small chainmail loincloth sat on her broad hips, nestled beneath her firm, flat belly and between a pair of thunder thighs. It consisted of two chainmail triangles connected by a string. At the top each triangle was a little over a handsbreadth wide, but quickly narrowed down to a mere fingerswidth. They covered the truly important bits, but left her ample buttocks and inner thigh all but completely exposed. Her big bottom was firm, round, and protruded out behind her. She wore good leather boots that extended halfway to her knees, and thick leather gloves that went halfway to her elbows. A sword hung low on one hip, and a dagger was strapped to the opposite thigh. The woman bowed. "We've brought her." As if on cue, a bellow erupted from the other room. "Where the fucking fuck am I?" Buzzsaw burst into the room, knocking the bikini-clad warrior on her hands and knees. In the blink of an eye, the woman was back on her feet, sword and dagger drawn, standing between Buzzsaw and the chair. But Buzzsaw was already on her knees. "S-sorry. I, err, wow, uh this is an honor." Ominous laughter filled the room. [[Tune in next time for the Scandalous Scarlet Moon in "Icy Burns"!|ep3d1_start]]Congratulations!

A crowd of students milled about. $Her TA David stood in front of the door. David stood couple of inches above six feet.

He'd be downright intimidating if his face weren't (almost) always lit up with barely repressed humor. He wore, well, the same thing all male programmers seemed to wear: jeans and a hoody. He also wore a baseball hat showcasing the Green Lantern Jon Stewart.

Your grades in my class were incredible. Never before have I met such a <<female "beautiful" "handsome">>, intelligent student in all my years of teaching. Come here and let me reward you with an oil massage. And who knows, maybe a little something else if you're good..."

"Should come to lecture more often. You'd be amazed what you can learn." [["\"But I'm allergic to learning.\""|ep3d1_class_start]] [["\"You're so supportive.\""|ep3d1_class_start]] [[Scowl.|ep3d1_class_start]]The class they were waiting on filed out, and David led the way in. $name took $her customary seat at the back of the class, while Natalie sat front and center. David's eyes met <<names>>, and he gave a satisfied smile, as if to say *oh good, you were punctual this time.* "You're finally getting your tests back today, so you can stop pestering me." David shot a sharp glance at a one of the young men sitting in the front. The student shifted, and the rest of the class laughed. "Not funny..." he muttered. "Now, now keep the laughter down. I'm sure every single one of you's been in the same spot," said David. He cast a critical eye over the class, and the laughter stopped. "Good." David wrote up a problem on the whiteboard, and the grade curve next to it. He opened his bag and pulled out a giant stack of tests. "Start working on that while I pass these out." $name pulled out $her laptop, and started putzing some with the problem, though $she couldn't really focus. $Her eyes kept returning to the stack of papers in David's hands. Finally, David set $her test facedown next to $herm. $She flipped it over. A big fat `63` sat on the top of the page, next to two words: *See me.* $She glanced up at the curve, and $her heart sank further. $She got a big. Fat. D.

Anybody have it complete and want to volunteer?" There was a moment of awkward silence. Natalie raised her hand. "There's a surprise," muttered somebody. That got a light chuckle from the class. "Ben see me after class," said David. The class laughed louder. "Hush all of you," said David. "Or I'll setup an assembly line." The laughter stopped. "Natalie come on up." David stepped to the side, and his eyes swept over the room. "A lot of you had trouble with a very similar problem on the test," said David. $name glanced up and met David's eyes. $She shrank into $her chair. "So I'd suggest you pay attention." $name tried to listen to Natalie's words. Was she even speaking English?

"You started out as one of my best students, but you've been flailing hard the past few weeks." Hard to focus when you spend most evenings trying to find a lunatic with steel-sharp hair, and the rest having nightmares about glowing red eyes.

"Well, if you can nail the rest of the class, you should be able to pull off a B. *Maybe* an A if we curve generously, but only if you absolutely kill the rest of the semester.

And if you're good, it's a really great career. Really great. Six figure income, challenging problems, consistent work hours, that sort of thing. Well, mostly consistent.

The CEO of Silver Ant Inc. had been kind enough to let $herm use the woman's massive property as a training ground. The leaves had long since fallen, and the tree swayed alarmingly as a cold November wind blasted the tops. Scarlet Moon shifted $her forcefield to block the gust. Scarlet Moon closed $her eyes and stilled $her breathing. Scarlet flares traced themselves across the backs of $her eyelids, spinning and flowing like pixies at play. $She reached out with mental hands and guided the pixies across $her lids. $Her fingers and toes tingled. $Her head pulsed. Scarlet Moon's eyes snapped open. Power flowed into $her feet and $she backflipped off the tree. Power flowed into $her arms and a cord snapped against the tree. $She came up sharp, and swung down. $She skimmed along the ground, and swung back into the air. [["\"Let's see what I can do.\""|ep3d1_practice_1]] [["\"God, this feels great!\""|ep3d1_practice_1]] [[Say nothing.|ep3d1_practice_1]]$She released at the apex of $her swing and front-flipped. A scarlet staff formed in $her hands and $she braced it against the trunk of the next tree. $She pole-vaulted over the tree as power flowed into $her eyes. Little pinpricks of energy flicked from $her eyes, severing the stems of three dead leaves. The leaves wafted down to the ground to join their decomposing compatriots. A spring formed around $her right hand, and power flowed into $her limbs. $She caught the branch of another tree and braced the spring against the trunk. The spring coiled, and sprang. Scarlet Moon rocketed out into a clearing. A scarlet cord wrapped around a towering oak, and Scarlet Moon whipped around the tree. $She spied a young woman, about $her age in what looked like some sort of "sexy general" halloween costume. <<equipCostume>> <<if $ep2d3SilverSneakSpanked>> <<include "ep3d1_know_generalissima">> <<else>> <<include "ep3d1_generalissima">> <</if>>Scarlet Moon tensed. Who could be trespassing on Silver's property like that? Some sort of new supervillain? Scarlet Moon leapt over the figure and wrapped her in several scarlet cords. The woman went down with a yelp. Scarlet Moon landed at her head and grabbed her by the hair. [["\"Alright, I don't know who--\""|ep3d1_generalissima_1]] [["\"Who are you? What do you want? Talk!\""|ep3d1_generalissima_1]] [[Say nothing. Just glare at the intruder.|ep3d1_generalissima_1]]"It's me you idiot," said Juliana, struggling in the cords. "Oh. Oops." Scarlet Moon dissipated the scarlet cords. "Sorry, I didn't recognize you." Juliana pushed herself to her feet and brushed herself off. "Yeah, I guess I should have warned you I was coming. Probably a little jumpy right?" [["\"Little known side-effect of supervillains.\""|ep3d1_generalissima_2]] [["\"Supervillains tend to do that to you.\""|ep3d1_generalissima_2]] [[Shrug.|ep3d1_generalissima_2]]"Sorry," said Juliana. "Hey, I'm not the one who added a bit of rotten leaf to her diet." "So, what do you think?" Juliana did a little twirl. She wore a closed, grey-black jacket that touched the top of her skirt. The jacket was decorated with an assortment of "military" honors. Looking closely, $name saw random scout badges, a few high school varsity athletics pins, some participation ribbons, and a fake medallion that looked like it came out of a cereal box. She wore a matching pencil skirt that extended about two-thirds down her thighs. She completed the ensemble with a pair of black leggings and black stiletto boots that went halfway up her calves. "Say hello to Generalissima!" "Generalissima?" "Yeah, like Generalissimo, except for a girl." "You named yourself after brutal Latin American dictators?" "Well, I was thinking more since I'm your tactical backup, and give you support from the backlines and stuff, but yeah, I guess when you put it that way..." [["\"My God, you suck at names.

"So what have you been up to?" <<include "ep3d1_generalissima_angst">>The spring shaped into a paddle, and $she popped the seat of Generalissima's skirt. Fortunately for Generalissima, she was wearing some leggings beneath her skirt instead of fishnets (probably to ward off the cold). "Oww!" Generalissima hopped, and her hands snapped back to clutch her bottom. Scarlet Moon smirked. $She dissipated the cord, front-flipped and spun to land facing Generalissima about twenty feet away. $She sucked in a breath and laughed. [["\"Oh, that was amazing.\""|ep3d1_know_generalissima_1]] [["\"God damn, I'm good.\""|ep3d1_know_generalissima_1]] [["\"Incredible.\""|ep3d1_know_generalissima_1]]Generalissima scowled and rubbed her tush.

Scarlet Moon told Generalissima what happened. Generalissima winced. "Sorry to hear that." Scarlet Moon leaned against the trunk. "Mom'll hit the roof if I don't get my grades up. Scholarship might be in danger too, and there's no way I can afford Nezerwallup without it. And the worst is, I *should* be talking to Natalie right now, see if she'll help. But instead I'm out here playing superhero." "You just needed to calm down some." Generalissima rubbed Scarlet Moon's shoulder. "Get the stress out. Life's been crazy lately." Scarlet Moon laughed bitterly. "Can say that again." "You know, if you don't want to talk to Natalie, I could probably help." Scarlet Moon shook $her head. "You suck at explaining things." "That's probably true." Generalissima tapped her lip. "I could probably rig up some sort of super tiny communication doohicky, and I could help you take your tests."

Her thick caramel cheeks bobbed into view, left fully exposed by a dark green thong. "What are you doing? Let me go." Scarlet Moon struck Generalissima's left globe with the flat of $her palm.

She gripped the tree branch with her hands, while her legs pulled up tight against her naked buttocks. Scarlet Moon pushed Generalissima's feet down, and lashed them to the tree branch with a scarlet cord. $She unleashed a quintet of swift smacks to Generalissima's left cheek, making the firm flesh wobble and jiggle. "Oww. Oww. Oww." Generalissima's hips wiggled beneath the smacks, her bottom clenching and unclenching in pain. Faint pink blooms could be seen forming in the peaks of her fleshy cheeks. "And what, you going to run my entire career for me?" Scarlet Moon tightened $her grip on Generalissima's hips. $She leaned over a little and snapped $her hand up and down, battering both bouncing buttocks with swift stinging smacks. "I'm already living one giant lie, I'm not about to live two." "You're a jerk, you know that?" [[Continue the hand spanking.|ep3d1_generalissima_spanking_hand]] [[Form a scarlet paddle.|ep3d1_generalissima_spanking_paddle]] [[Cut a switch.|ep3d1_generalissima_spanking_switch]]Scarlet Moon pulled Generalissima a little further up $her lap and battered Generalissima's sitspots until they were a bright red.

When I get out of this, I'm gonna blister your bottom so hard." Scarlet Moon smacked Generalissima's sitspots. "I mean it." Generalissima pushed her torso up. Scarlet Moon shifted $her free hand between Generalissima's shoulder blades and pushed the recalcitrant brat back down. $Her other hand never slowed. Once Generalissima's sitspots were as red hot as the peaks of her cheeks, Scarlet Moon shifted $her hand a few inches further down. $Her firm palm struck both the crease where bottom met thigh, and the tops of Generalissima's thunder thighs with snappy sharp strokes. Generalissima howled. She flopped around on <<names>> lap like a fish, her bottom jiggling and wiggling just from her flailing, while her thighs jiggled and wiggled from <<names>> smacks.

"What are you doing?" Generalissima looked over her shoulder. Her eyes widened. "No, no no. Come on please not that." Scarlet Moon struck the peak of Generalissima's right cheek with the paddle. Generalissima threw her head back and shrieked. Her thick buttock caved beneath the circular implement and bounced back into position as Scarlet Moon raised the paddle. "Oww oww oh oh that stings." Scarlet Moon brought the paddle down on the peak of Generalissima's left cheek for the same effect. "Owwowowowowow. Why does that stupid thing hurt so much?" wailed Generalissima.

Once the peaks of Generalissima's bottom were as red and glowing as Scarlet Moon's paddle, $she moved on to the sitspots. Generalissima threw her head back and shrieked the first time the paddle struck her right sitspot. "Come on. I've had enough I promise." "I will decide that." Scarlet Moon struck her left sitspot with equal force, sending the supple flesh wobbling. Generalissima wiggled her hips. One of her hands grabbed Scarlet Moon's leg. Her fingernails would have dug into Scarlet Moon's leg if it weren't for $her forcefield. Scarlet Moon battered Generalissima's naked sitspots until they were smoking.

Generalissima shrieked. Her legs stuck out straight, and her fingers dug into the treebark. "Oww! God that stings. I hate those things, I hate them." Scarlet Moon laid another stripe across Generalissima's quivering mounds, just below the first one. Generalissima howled. She bucked and kicked and shook her head. "I hate you. You're such a jerk." Scarlet Moon snapped the switch across Generalissima's bottom, just below the last stripe. Generalissima's hips bucked and wiggled frantically, her bare bubble butt bouncing and wobbling with the motion. "I'm serious Moon. Stop it now or so help me--OOWOWOWOWOWOWO!" Scarlet Moon lifted the switch off the crease where Generalissima's juicy bottom met her muscular thighs, and brought it down across the tops of her thighs. "Aagh!

A lightbulb flashed. A mob of reporters stood behind the barricade, barely held back by a couple of exasperated officers. "Scarlet Moon, Scarlet Moon are you here to save the folks in the arena?" "Do you think the new Supremes are related to Succubus or Buzzsaw?" "Have you seen any signs of Buzzsaw?" "Why haven't you stopped the Ms. Demeanor thefts of the past few nights?"

He was tall, 6', and muscular. He was wet, like he'd just been in a pool, or sprayed himself with a hose. He stood with his arms crossed, impassively watching the arena. The woman had a mane of fiery red hair that extended to the small of her back. She wore a fiery red PVC bra with glittery swirls evocative of flames, showing off a very round, ample pair of breasts. She wore a matching pair of PVC hotpants that left the lower quarter of her small, firm, round bottom exposed. She topped off the ensemble with a pair of fiery red PVC high-heeled thigh boots.

The water coating Poseidon froze into a cocoon of ice, while a stream of flame coiled around Prometheus' arm like a snake. Prometheus grinned. Her eyes almost seemed to spark. "Anyone who says fire and water don't mix aren't doing it properly." Prometheus cracked the flame whip above her head and whipped it across Scarlet Moon's face. The whip shattered against Scarlet Moon's shield, before reforming and swirling around $her body. Scarlet Moon took a breath and wrapped another layer of shield around $herself, trapping the flame between two forcefields. $She squeezed them together, extinguishing the flames. Poseidon sprinted forward and punched Scarlet Moon in the chest with an ice-encrusted fist. Scarlet Moon flew backwards. A pair of scarlet cords against the stage stopped $herm flight, and snapped $her back onto the stage. $She lashed $herself to it with a few more cords. Poseidon danced around $herm punching and kicking with brutal, blurring speed. Scarlet Moon swayed in place, but didn't move or try to defend $herself.

The mist froze into an ice cocoon, but a few pulses from $her shield shattered. "I said stay still, dammit," said Prometheus. She swirled the flames between her hands and flung them at Scarlet Moon, Dragonball Z style.

Scarlet Moon tugged Prometheus' tight little shorts down to her thighs, exposing a very naked, tight little bottom. $She gathered up Poseidon's speedo and tugged it down to his thighs, exposing a very naked, rather hairless bottom. Scarlet Moon paused, and one eye narrowed. "Your ass is nowhere near as hairy as I expected." "I'm a swimmer," said Poseidon. "We shave." "I see." "That's the best you can do?" cried Prometheus, squirming around in the railing. "$She's got us wedged in a railing, and all you're gonna do is explain why your ass isn't covered in hair?" [["\"Hush you.\""|ep3d1_fire_and_ice_fight_victory_spanking_prometheus_poseidon_0]] [["\"Don't worry, you'll have much bigger things to worry about than your buddy's lack of defiant one-liners.\""|ep3d1_fire_and_ice_fight_victory_spanking_prometheus_poseidon_0]] [[Say nothing.|ep3d1_fire_and_ice_fight_victory_spanking_prometheus_poseidon_0]]"Hush you," said Scarlet Moon. $She cracked $her knuckles and wove $her shield into a small paddle. "Time for your paddling." Scarlet Moon whapped Poseidon's right cheek with $her paddle, the small oval making Poseidon's muscular bottom bounce. The crisp smack of magical forcefield striking naked flesh echoed through the empty arena. $She snapped it back, and whipped it down on Prometheus' right cheek next, making the villain's tight little ass bobble. "Let's talk about your *many* transgressions, shall we?" Scarlet Moon whapped Prometheus' left cheek with a full-armed swing. Prometheus yelped and bucked. $She smacked Poseidon's left cheek next. The young man squirmed, and grunted. His back arched and his bottom clenched. They both lifted their feet to cover their bottoms, but a few crimson cords lashed them to the poles, leaving their legs wide open and their bottoms gaping. Poseidon sucked in a breath, and his toes tensed. "Oh come on, let me at least close my legs," said Prometheus, her voice shifting into a whine. [["\"I have way more important things to do than fight some superpowered snot for the hell of it.\""|ep3d1_fire_and_ice_fight_victory_spanking_prometheus_poseidon_1a]] [["\"You held an entire arena hostage because you thought fighting me would be fun.

He gripped the railing until his knuckles turned white. His breath came in ragged gasps. Scarlet Moon shifted a little and unleashed a minutes-long barrage to both their right cheeks, alternating between one and the other. $She caught a little bit of their sensitive inner cheeks with each stroke. "OWW! Shit! Fuck! Motherfucking shit!" Prometheus bucked. Her head swung frantically back and forth, her long hair flying around her head. Poseidon cried out and wiggled, his bottom bouncing and his nuts swaying. That *had* to be uncomfortable, just hanging there all free and whipping back and forth like a pendulum on a ship in a hurricane. Scarlet Moon shifted a little more and did the same thing to their left cheeks. "WAAAGH! Stop it! Stop it! I'm sorry, just stoooop!" Prometheus' scream rose so loud it nearly drowned out the pop of paddle to posterior. "Pansy," muttered Poseidon. Scarlet Moon shifted $her attention to Poseidon, and didn't let up until he was shrieking just as loud as his partner. "Whose the pansy now?" asked Prometheus through her sniffles. "You screamed first," said Poseidon, anger tinging his voice. "Your mom-OWW!" "Owwww!" Poseidon's voice rose into a wail, then cut into a shriek when Scarlet Moon's Scarlet Paddle of Justice meted out a little more Justice on the villains' dancing posteriors. Scarlet Moon whipped the paddle up and down, the sharp SPLATs bouncing off the curved walls and domed ceiling, mingling and mixing until it sounded like a dozen spankings, rather than just one. [["\"Wow, you really are pansies aren't you? Not so tough when your naked asses are getting warmed by the Scarlet Paddle of Justice, are you?\""|ep3d1_fire_and_ice_fight_victory_spanking_both_1]] [["\"That's right, wail little children.

"A lucky <<female 'cunt' 'asshole'>>," muttered Poseidon. Scarlet Moon cocked an eyebrow, but changed neither the tempo nor force of $her swats. It didn't take much longer for the pair to start to sob, their bodies bobbing with every heave and hiccup. Scarlet Moon took a deep breath, and stepped back to admire $her handiwork. Both their bottoms were as red as Prometheus' hair. They might even have been redder than her shorts, but those had been kicked off at some point, and Scarlet Moon had no idea where they'd gotten to. [["\"Ah well. You don't need pants in prison.\""|ep3d1_fire_and_ice_fight_victory_end]] [[Dust off your hands.

"They're both helpless as kittens." Scarlet Moon looked at the trashed stage. Speakers were shatered, there was a hole in the middle of the stage, and the drum had been reduced to kindling. $She lashed a cord against the top of the dome. "I'm, uh, gonna get out of here before your boss comes in." "Probably a good idea," said the cop. "You know, you're probably not going to hear a lot of this, but thanks." "No--" "Officer Zoey!" The police chief stormed in, and the officer jumped. "Did I just hear you thanking this wretched vigilante?" "Well, I..uh, it's not like we were going to be-yee!" In the space it took Scarlet Moon to blink, the chief had the cop facedown over his knee, her pants around her knees, and her slightly-too-small panties around her thighs. His large hand struck her round, muscular bottom, eliciting a squeal. "I...think I'll just go." Scarlet Moon zipped up towards the roof. "The law will catch you one day, Scarlet Moon!" barked the chief, though his hand didn't slow, and his eyes didn't leave the bottom dancing across his knee. [["\"So long as it's not today!\""|ep3d1_fire_and_ice_fight_victory_tempestas]] [["\"I'll do what I must, chief.

"When am *I* going to get some help?" $she muttered. A gust of wind ruffled $her hair, and a costumed woman landed next to $herm. The woman wore a long-sleeved white spandex top that fully covered her chest and arms, but left her athletic midriff bare. She wore a pair of white spandex pants that showed off flared hips, a firm round bottom and long muscular legs. She wore short boots with a thick heel, short and wide enough to be practical, but tall enough to give her a bit more height. A large pair of red-tinted aviator goggles covered her eyes and much of her upper face. A white cap covered her hair. A stylized red tornado adorned the center of her chest. A bright white cape snapped in the wind behind her. Scarlet Moon jumped to her feet, $her eyes flaring. Just what $she needed, a third-- "Oh crap, did you beat them already?" The woman adjusted her goggles. "Sorry, I came as fast as I could, but I haven't really been on this side of town very often, and everything looks so different from rooftops, and it's been taking me a bit to get used to these goggles, and I *thought* I'd gotten the hang of my powers, but they keep getting stronger, and do you have any idea how much of a pain in the ass it is when you use too powerful a gust and send yourself flying *over* the roof you intended to land on, so you end up flying through a thankfully open window and into some grouchy old lady's living room, who just so happened to be in the middle of brushing her grandchild's hair with a *really* large hairbrush, and yeah sure you could just run away, but you scared the crap out of the kid, broke some hokey little glass sculpture from some glass museum or other that the lady's late husband bought for her on their honeymoon, and you just feel kind of bad about the whole thing?"

Big." <<include "ep3d1_tempestas_victory">>The woman coughed awkwardly. She straightened her cape and put her hands on her hips. A gust of wind swirled around her, making her cape flow and snap. "Anyway, I am Tempestas. Mistress of the Maelstrom!" "So you control water, like that Poseidon guy?" asked Scarlet Moon. Tempestas frowned. "Um, no? I control air." "But maelstroms are giant whirlpools." "Oh." Tempestas adjusted her goggles. "I um, I see. Maybe I should have... Anyway, I am Tempestas! Mistress of the...uh... Heroine of the Hurricane? Sorceress of the Storms? Tornado Turtle?" "How about Mistress of the Hurricane?" "But that's not alliterative," said Tempestas. "I want to be alliterative. Maybe Queen of the Clouds? Queen makes kind of a 'k' sound right? That's alliterative right? I mean, at least it sounds alliterative. Or is Cloud Queen better? It's more precise at least. Ooh, I know. The Hurricane Heroine! Yeah, that'll work. I am Tempestas, the Hurricane Heroine! Yeah, I like that." Scarlet Moon ran a hand down $her face.

A scream erupted from the front of the arena. The whine of particle beams split the air, intermingled with the screeching crunch of shattered metal. [["\"We can discuss fashion later.\""|ep3d1_tempestas_victory_2a]] [["\"Godammit, what now?\""|ep3d1_tempestas_victory_2a]] [[Say nothing.|ep3d1_tempestas_victory_2a]]Scarlet Moon bolted for the far end of the arena. A gust of wind pushed $herm forward, and Tempestas soared past $herm, landing on the edge of the dome, and nearly toppling over. Police cars lay scattered about the concrete, doors torn off hinges, lights ripped off, hoods crushed. A few cops lay scattered about the ground, groaning. Buzzsaw stood in the middle of the destruction, laughing maniacally. She'd grown her hair long in the past few months. Instead of just a mohawk, she had a mohawk and two braids that extended to her knees. One braid was fashioned into a club, while the other had a long pointed tip."Guess whose back, bitches! Been waiting a long time to tan some copper asses, so come on ya pussies and show me what you're made of!" A few cops hunched behind police cars or barricades, occasionally peeking out and firing at her. The rest desperately tried to keep the crowds contained and fleeing in an orderly manner. Buzzsaw swung the club braid at a nearby prisoner van. The blow knocked the van on its side. She ripped the back door off its hinges. Poseidon and Prometheus crawled out, looking dazed. "Buzzsaw," said Tempestas in a low hiss. "Run crowd control. Get those people out of here before they get hurt. I'll try to stop her." Scarlet Moon blinked. "What?" Something long and thin struck Scarlet Moon's <<sexycostume 'bare' 'thinly clad'>> butt. $She yelped, and $her hands snapped back to cover $her bottom. "Go $girl, or I'll wind switch you 'till you can't sit for a month." Tempestas leapt off the arena. A gust of wind flung Buzzsaw into a cop car, and the heroine landed. "Surrender now Buzzsaw, for you face Tempestas, the Hurricane Heroine!" Scarlet Moon rubbed $her ass, and blinked. [[Help Tempestas|ep3d1_buzzsaw_fight]] [[Do as Tempestas said.|ep3d1_crowd_control]]Scarlet Moon leapt after Tempestas. "What do you think you're doing?" asked Tempestas. "You're supposed to be running crowd control." [["\"Well, yeah, but you just looked so *lonely.*\""|ep3d1_buzzsaw_fight_1]] [["\"This is Buzzsaw we're talking about.

Buzzsaw's eyes gleamed. "I've been looking forward to this." Buzzsaw whipped her chain over her head and flung it at Scarlet Moon.

"Was that you?" roared Buzzsaw, jumping to her feet and pointing at Tempestas. "I'm gonna have almost as much fun tanning your ass as I will Glo$girl's." "You idiot," said Tempestas. "You just finished fighting two supervillains. How many of those beams do you think you have left?" [["\"Only one way to find out.\""|ep3d1_buzzsaw_combat]] [["\"Look, I know how Buzzsaw fights.

"Nice moves," said Tempestas. Buzzsaw whirled, and leapt at them again. "My turn." Tempestas held up her hand. A blast of wind caught Buzzsaw, and flung her up into the air. Tempestas whirled her hand like she was stirring, sending Buzzsaw whirling around and around in a small cyclone. Finally, Tempestas slapped the asphalt, and Buzzsaw slammed into the ground.

"Nice shot," said Tempestas, as she whirled to face where Buzzsaw disappeared. The minivan lifted into the air, held aloft by Buzzsaw. Buzzsaw leapt towards the pair, and threw the minivan at them with a roar. Tempestas throws out a massive gust of wind that caught the minivan, and sent it rolling across the concrete. "Hey! That's my van!" A middle-aged woman slipped past the police barricade and charged at Tempestas. Tempestas whirled. "What--hey!" The woman grabbed Tempestas by the shoulder, and struck the seat of Tempestas' tight pants. Tempestas yelped in surprise and pain as the woman's hand struck her pert, bouncing bottom hard and fast. Buzzsaw laughed. "Hah! Yeah you show that minivan wrecking bimbo whose boss!" "Lady!" Tempestas squirmed free of the woman's grip. "Get away from here before--" "OK. Fun's time's over!"

Tempestas crouched next to Scarlet Moon. She glanced about. Barricades lay shattered, a few cars were reduced to glorified cages, and paramedics were on the scene.

There was a soft swish, and Scarlet Moon shrieked as a sharp line of fire cut into $her <<sexycostume 'exposed buttocks' 'spandex-clad buttocks'>>. Another swish, another line of fire, and another shriek. And another. And another. And another. A dozen times the faint swish caressed Scarlet Moon's ears, and the long thin sting cut $her bottom.

Buzzsaw grabbed $name by the <<hair 'mask' '$hairstyle' '$hairstyle'>> and Tempestas by the cape.

Tempestas squawked again. Buzzsaw lifted her legs up until Tempestas was hanging upside down, facing Buzzsaw. "Just as I thought." Buzzsaw draped Tempestas back over the barricade. "A little red tornado. Was that your original plan? Run around in a spandex top, cape and g-string?" Tempestas shifted. "Really?" hissed Scarlet Moon, $her lips quirked. <<sexycostume '"Like you're one to talk Scarlet Thong."'

"You took that pretty good. Must be getting a lot of practice," said Buzzsaw. The harsh clap of thick leather against bare skin burst through the late night air. Tempestas shrieked and bounced her hips against the barricade. The leather cut into Scarlet Moon's lower cheeks, tracing a molten river across $her sitspots. Scarlet Moon bucked. $Her bottom bobbled and $her legs kicked helplessly. [["\"Oww! Stop it--oww!--It--oww! oww! oww!--hurts!

The would-be super<<female "heroines" "heroes">> kicked and squealed with every stroke. Their hips wiggled. Their rapidly reddening rumps bobbled. Their limbs flailed madly. Scarlet Moon swung $her head back and forth with every stroke, $her hair flying out around $herm. Tempestas pounded her fists against the barricade, wailing and cursing in a manner most unbecoming of a superheroine. Buzzsaw laughed maniacally. "This is incredible. I was hoping I'd get another chance to tan Glo$girl's rump. Never thought I'd get to belt two straight arrows." "Justice will prevail Buzzsaw," said Tempestas through her sniffles. She hiccuped. "Just you wait." "Whatever you say snowflake." Buzzsaw pressed a thick paw against the small of Tempestas' back and lashed the heroine's elevated bottom. The belt landed two dozen times, though it was hard to keep track when Tempestas' shrieks obscured the snap of the belt. "What about you?" Buzzsaw stepped behind Scarlet Moon and pressed a hand against the exposed small of $her back. "Got anything heroic to say before I trash your ass?" [["\"Is that what you call it? Pfh.

The belt barely had time to leave $her buttocks before it cut into the soft flesh again. Scarlet Moon howled at the top of $her lungs. Each stroke burned $her bottom like a branding iron. The strokes came so fast they all blurred into a continuous stream of molten agony. Eventually, mercifully, the strokes stopped. Scarlet Moon slumped across the barricade, sobbing and hiccuping. The belt slithered back through its belt loops. "I'd love to thrash the both of you all night, but I got shit to do." Buzzsaw tucked Prometheus and Poseidon under each arm and leapt away. Scarlet Moon and Tempestas lay slumped across the barricade. Eventually, they worked up the energy to push themselves up.

The police chief came out of nowhere and grabbed Tempestas. He smacked her swollen bottom with his large hand. "Not only do you completely trash the place, and put countless bystanders at risk, but you can't even stop the criminals! If you were on my force--" Tempestas stomped on the chief's foot. The chief cried out and danced away, clutching at his foot. Tempestas stumbled away. She jumped, and a light breeze wafted across Scarlet Moon's hair. It was barely more than a tickle, and nowhere near strong enough to lift the heroine. Scarlet Moon grabbed Tempestas and lashed a flickering cord against the arena. $She zipped the two up onto the roof. Once there, Tempestas fell to her knees, clutching her bottom. Scarlet Moon paced back and forth, rubbing $her own scorched bottom. "Idiot," said Tempestas. "I told you to disperse the crowd, not help me fight." "You obviously needed it," said Scarlet Moon. "Buzzsaw would have beaten you inside of ten minutes." "That's ten minutes you could have spent getting people to safety." Tempestas pushed herself back to her feet and yanked her spandex back up. Her mouth formed an "o." "Look you'd better learn real fast, this isn't about stopping supervillains, it's about protecting people." Tempestas ran for the edge of the roof and leapt off, a gust of wind propelling her away. [["\"Thanks for the lecture oh-so-wonderful superheroine on her first night.\""|ep3d1_aftermath]] [[Sigh. "Little snot might have a point. Maybe."|ep3d1_aftermath]] [[Say nothing.|ep3d1_aftermath]]Scarlet Moon's eyes scanned the crowd. The police were already trying to guide the crowd further away from the building. People pressed against the barriers police were throwing up to guide the crowd to safety, even as they ran down the impromptu corridor. People on the edge of the crowd streamed out across the parking lot and onto campus. Barriers had been set up at critical junctions in the roads to keep cars off. "No, get us away, we have to get away!" shrieked a woman pushing at the person in front of her. Buzzsaw threw Tempestas through a police barrier, scattering cops like bowling pins. The woman's eyes opened wider, and she pushed harder at the man in front of her. "I can't go anywhere, stop shoving," snapped the man. "Everyone please remain calm," said an officer. "Like hell." barked the woman. She held a child, looked to be preteen, tight against her. "We're caught-" Scarlet Moon landed on the concrete between her and the fighting heroes. $She turned to face the battle. $She threw up a tall barrier between the crowd and the battle. $Her head grew light, and the ground lurched.

The car door smashed $her face, and one of the tires blew apart against $her foot. Scarlet Moon fell to one knee. The earth tilted around $herm. $Her vision narrowed to a small pinprick. Sweat soaked $her costume. $Her temples pounded like a jackhammer. $Her stomach lurched, and bile rose in $her throat. A deep, maniacal chuckle cut the air. "Well, well, look at that. Glo$girl. Just standing there asking for a good punching." A large, dark figure loomed up above Scarlet Moon, cracking her knuckles. "Worried I'm gonna hurt these pukes?" Tempestas grabbed Buzzsaw from behind and flung her through the arena door. "Stay away from $herm!" Buzzsaw smashed back out. "Or you'll what? Spank me? I'M BUZZSAW, BITCH!" "You're a lunatic." Tempestas leapt into the air. Debris flew up around her and whipped at the villain. Buzzsaw laughed. She leapt into the air and punched Tempestas in the face. The heroine flew backwards, smashed through a couple of lampposts and out of sight. One of the light posts bounced off Scarlet Moon's shield. The other fell towards the crowd. Scarlet Moon struck the lightpost with a crimson cord. The post snapped backwards, and fell harmlessly onto the parking lot behind it. Scarlet Moon very nearly passed out. $Her chest felt like it was going to explode. $Her head pulsed with every heartbeat. $Her limbs burned.

Buzzsaw grabbed Scarlet Moon's hair and forced $her head back. "Look at me when I talk to you. I thought I was gonna get to fight you, not some two-bit B-lister. Makes me angry." Buzzsaw flung Scarlet Moon against the police barrier. $Her shield flickered. "Here, let's show these good people what's gonna start happening to <<female "heroines" "heroes">> in this town." "Ohh, leave the poor $girl alone," said the woman. "Only a bully attacks somebody who can't fight back." Scarlet Moon's eyes flared. "Maybe I //am// a bully.

"Come on lady, things are finally moving." The man grabbed the woman and pulled her away. "I'm sorry," said the woman as she left. "Thank you." Scarlet Moon smiled. Buzzsaw charged out of the arena, red-faced. "Alright, the bitch's got a second wind-" A gale whipped through the air, and flung Buzzsaw back into the arena. Tempestas landed between Scarlet Moon and Buzzsaw. "You have no idea." Buzzsaw charged out of the arena. Again. "Out of the way snowflake." "Make me." Scarlet Moon took a deep breath and threw $her shield back up. Two minutes later, Buzzsaw had Tempestas bent over her knee, her spandex pants around her ankles, and her buttocks, rudely exposed by a tiny white g-string, thrust up into the air. Buzzsaw's thick hand clapped against the woman's round, tight little bottom, making it bounce and wobble. Tempestas squirmed and yelped. Scarlet Moon glanced over $her shoulder.

Scarlet Moon wrapped a crimson cord around the hunk. $She gritted $her teeth and pulled the concrete towards $herm. A crimson beam pulverized it. $She spun to face Buzzsaw, and nearly toppled over.

She wore short boots with a short thick heel, short and wide enough to be practical, but tall enough to give her a bit more height. A large pair of red-tinted goggles covered her eyes and much of her upper face. A white cap covered her hair. A stylized red tornado adorned the center of her chest. A bright white cape snapped in the wind behind her. Wind. Indoors. "Release $herm, foul villain, or you will face the wrath of Tempestas, Mistress of the Maelstrom!" Prometheus cocked an eyebrow.

"I think $she slipped behind a rack of weights," said Sam. "Over there." "Just stay there," said David. "Don't draw attention--" "Ahhh, nothing like a morning at the gym, eh folks?" Prometheus strutted through the blasted doorway, one hand on her hips. "What do you want?" asked Officer Bernice Chastain. She didn't look particularly intimidating in a tanktop and runners shorts. Her hand went to her side and closed over empty air. Prometheus laughed and clapped her hands. "Well would you look at that. It's Officer Lace from Silver Tower. Seems you forgot your gun though. Whatever will you do?" "What do you want?" asked Bernice. Prometheus' eyes flared. "Just looking for a bit of exercise. Maybe a sparring partner or two. You up for it?" "Only if--" "Hah!"

"Oh dear, that was pathetic. Looks like somebody's been slacking." Bernice kicked Prometheus in the shin, but Prometheus didn't so much as miss a breath. "And we all know what happens to slackers!" Prometheus shoved Bernice over a weight rack and yanked her shorts down. "Ooh, check out those panties. All lacy and small. You'd think you'd start wearing more modest underwear, seeing as you keep losing your pants." "That happened once," said Bernice through gritted teeth. "Twice now." Prometheus slapped Bernice's bottom. "Now, let's see how loud you can squeal." $name eased away from the weight rack. $She slid over a bench, and skittered across the open space between the bench and the locker rooms. [["Enter the locker room."|ep3d2_prometheus_fight]]The steady pounding of $her sneakers against the treadmill lulled $herm into the zone. $Her thoughts turned over the fight last night with Prometheus and Poseidon. <<keyword $ep3d1DefeatedByPrometheusPoseidon '$Her defeat still stung.

"Look at $name. $She looks miserable." [["\"I feel miserable too. My chest is on fire. My glutes scream in agony. My calves beg for mercy.

She pivoted around Natalie, pulled the girl's arm up behind her back, bent her over and swatted her large bottom. "Oww! What the heck?" Natalie wiggled her hips and stomped her feet. "You did not come along so you could watch," said Juliana. "Now you have a choice. You can either get your bottom on a treadmill, or you can get your //sore// bottom on a treadmill." "Yes, I get it fine," said Natalie. Juliana released her, and she scurried to the treadmill next to <<names>> and started it up. "You're a jerk." "Only doing it because I want you to feel beautiful," said Juliana. "Don't know why you bother," said a smarmy voice behind Juliana. "Can't fix ugly." [["\"Crap.\""|ep3d2_treadmill_natalie_1]] [["\"Oh for the love of..what now???\""|ep3d2_treadmill_natalie_1]] [["Groan."|ep3d2_treadmill_natalie_1]]Natalie blushed, and she started blinking rapidly. She kept jogging though. Juliana looked over her shoulder. "Oh look. The Blonde Brigade. Hello, Jezebel." A quintet of girls about their age stood in a v-formation with their hands on their hips and their hips cocked. Each one had shoulder-length blonde hair pulled up into ponytails. Each one wore a sports bra over their smallish breasts, and tight shorts hugged their bubble butts. They had flat torsos, slightly flared hips and long legs. Every one of them stood between 5'8" and 5'11". "Why do you even bother Juli? Moonbutt over there's hopeless. You could be doing so much more with your life. Like hanging with us. You've got great fashion sense. Maybe you could beat some of it into Jannette and Jubilee," said the leader, Jezebel. She jerked her thumb over her shoulder. The two girls in the back of the V shifted from foot to foot. Juliana narrowed her eyes. "Nobody's hopeless." "Oh Gawd, you're making me want to puke," said Jezebel. "Girl doesn't have any fashion sense, can barely fit through a doorway, probably wears a diaper-" Juliana spat in Jezebel's mouth. Jezebel staggered backwards into her girls' arms, who were clearly trying very hard not to smile. She wiped frantically at her tongue. "Ohh, ew ew ew, what is wrong with you? Gah, I can still taste it!" Natalie laughed. A rich, full-bellied laugh $name had never heard from her. In fact, it was the loudest $name had *ever* heard her. She laughed so hard, she nearly fell off the treadmill. "Maybe next time you won't punch down," said Juliana with a flick of her hair. She turned on her heel and walked between <<names>> and Natalie's treadmill. She even threw an extra sway into her hips, as if daring Jezebel. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd much rather spend time with my friends." [["\"See Nat? Juli's got your back.\""|ep3d2_treadmill_natalie_2]] [["\"Well, that just made my week.\""|ep3d2_treadmill_natalie_2]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_treadmill_natalie_2]]"Oh like hell," said Jezebel. "If you think you can just-ugh-spit in my mouth and walk away, you've got another thing coming. Girls, I want her bare-assed-" "Ah-ah." Juliana shook her finger and pointed over her shoulder at a sign. She didn't bother to look at the brigade. "No fighting in the gym. I'd hate to see your milky little bottom turned red." "We'll be waiting for you outside bi--" Juliana pivoted on her heel. Her eyes lit up and she jabbed a finger into the air. "How about a little wager? If I can strip your little minions down to their birthday suits before they can do the same to me, you'll leave Natalie alone. Forever." Jezebel scoffed. "And why would I agree to that?" Juliana's eyes sparkled. "Because if your Stepford Wivelets can strip //me// naked, I'll crawl up to you, head down and ass up, kiss your foot and //beg// you to spank me raw with your most wicked hairbrush." Jezebel's lips turned up in a venomous smile. "Knew you were a submissive little bitch. The dancing room in the gym across the quad?" "Sure." "See you there." Jezebel pivoted, and strutted out of the gym, her posse following after. Natalie stumbled off the treadmill and grabbed Juliana's arm. "What is wrong with you?" "I'm about to get you out of high school hell," said Juliana. "No, you're about to get stripped and beaten," said Natalie. "You're not Batman." Juliana grinned. [["\"I should help you.\""|ep3d2_treadmill_natalie_help]] [["\"I'm kinda with Natalie on this one. You're just gonna embarass yourself.\""|ep3d2_treadmill_fight]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_treadmill_fight]]Juliana shook her head. "Jezebel'll use your help as an excuse not to follow through." "There are five of them," said $name. "Four. Jezebel won't get her hands dirty." [["Sarcastically: \"Well, that certainly changes things, doesn't it?\""|ep3d2_treadmill_fight]] [["\"This is not going to end well. I just know it.\""|ep3d2_treadmill_fight]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_treadmill_fight]]"Relax, I'll be fine," said Juliana. She glanced at Sam and David. Neither one of them seemed to have heard the exchange. "Come on." The trio hurried across the small quad to the nearby gym, shivering in the chilly November air. They found the Blonde Brigade standing in the same V formation on a collection of mats in the middle of a room typically used for zoomba, yoga and dance lessons. Jezebel's friends were all barefoot, though Jezebel still wore her sneakers. "You think they practice?" asked Juliana. Natalie shrank back behind $name. Jezebel rubbed her hands together. She licked her lips. "I'm not sure which is going to be more enjoyable. Watching my girls strip you naked, or having you at my feet begging for a beating." Juliana bent down and untied her shoes. She slid the laces out. She tied one set around her wrist, the other she held loose in her hands. She kicked off her shoes and pulled off her socks. Juliana's light brown toes flexed against the matt. She held her hands up in front of her, her fingers cocked in a grappling pose. She swayed on the balls of her feet. "Go on girls. Whoever removes the top or shorts gets to give her ten swats. Twenty to whoever removes an article of underwear. An extra thirty for whoever takes off her last article. Go!" The four girls charged. [["\"Not gonna end well.\""|ep3d2_treadmill_fight_1]] [["\"Go Juli! Kick their asses!\""|ep3d2_treadmill_fight_1]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_treadmill_fight_1]]When the first girl reached her, Juliana planted her hands on the girl's shoulders and frontflipped over her, driving her into the matt. She ducked under another girl's grasping fingers and swept her legs out from under her. She spun around the third and landed a sharp slap to her shapely bottom, before bopping the back of her knee with just enough force to make her buckle. She grabbed the wrists of the fourth girl, and flipped her over her shoulder. The girl gasped as her back slammed into the matt. Juliana grabbed her sports bra and yanked it off, eliciting a squeal as pert little tits bounced free. The first girl dove for Juliana's legs. Juliana hopped over her fingers and landed knees first on the girl's butt. The girl yelped. Juliana grabbed the girl's wrists and tied them together with her shoe lace. She rolled under the grasping fingers of the braless girl. A flick of her wrist brought the other shoelace free. She grabbed the braless girl's ankle with her other hand. She yanked the girl's foot out from under her and rolled through the third girl's legs, sending her facefirst into the braless girl's butt. She grabbed the fourth girl's hair and pivoted around behind her. The girl arched her back and reached for Juliana's wrist. Juliana snatched the wrist and tied the girl's hair and wrist together. She grabbed the girl's shorts and panties and yanked them down to her ankles. She yanked back. As the girl faceplanted, Juliana used the momentum to pull the shorts and panties completely off. "How the hell is she winning?" cried Jezebel. "She's just one girl." The braless girl charged Juliana while the third girl untied the first girl's wrists. Juliana punched the girl in the boob. The girl yelped and grabbed her breast. Juliana shoulder checked her to the ground, grabbed her shorts, and yanked them and her panties clean off. "You're done," said Juliana. [["\"Holy crap.\""|ep3d2_treadmill_fight_2]] [["\"Maybe she *is* Batman.\""|ep3d2_treadmill_fight_2]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_treadmill_fight_2]]The girl crawled towards Jezebel, rubbing her boob. "Jez..." "You incompetent boob! Assume the position!" The girl groaned. She turned around and tucked her knees under her belly. She pushed her ass up into the air, and pressed her face into the matt. Jezebel kneeled down and swatted the girl's naked bottom, making her groan and whine into the matt. Juliana charged the girl with her hair tied to her wrist. The girl backpedaled and swiped her hand in front of her. Juliana caught the wrist, spun against the girl's chest like a dancer and shoved the first girl's panties into her mouth. The girl's eyes widened, and she reached for the panties. Juliana reached around the girl and undid the clasp of her sports bra, letting it drop to the ground, rendering her completely naked. The third girl came up behind her. Juliana spun away, but the third girl's hands snapped out quick as thought and grabbed Juliana's long hair. Juliana yelped and snapped her head back. The third girl twisted her shoulder to take the headbutt, and slipped her arms underneath Juliana's, pulling her into a full nelson. "You're really fast," said Juliana with a grunt. "You're nuts," said the girl. "Yes, that's it. Hold her Janette. Strip her Jubilee, strip her!" Jubilee, the girl who'd had her wrists tied behind her back, cautiously approached. She grabbed Juliana's shorts and pulled them off and over her feet, exposing her purple g-string for all the world to see. Juliana struggled against Janette's grip, but the taller woman held her firm. [["\"So much for that.\""|ep3d2_treadmill_fight_3]] [["\"Come on Juliana, don't just stand there!\""|ep3d2_treadmill_fight_3]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_treadmill_fight_3]]Jubilee bent over slightly and reached for Juliana's g-string. Juliana swung her legs up and braced them against the girl's shoulders. Her bare, muscular thighs flexed and she pushed hard. Jubilee stumbled forward, underneath Juliana's legs. Her head conked into Janette's left thigh. The girl wobbled. Juliana shoved against Jubilee's back, driving the girl into the matt, and flinging her legs into the air. She swung her legs left. The sudden shift in her weight sent both her and her captor tumbling. The girl released Juliana to catch herself. Juliana rolled across the ground and jumped to her feet. By this time, a small crowd had formed. Juliana sprinted along the crowd. She snatched a pack of gum from a guy's pocket and shoved a stick into her mouth. She flung the pack over her shoulder at the guy's feet. Janette pushed herself to her feet. "Go for her left. Let's get her together." The two warily approached Juliana, far enough apart Juliana couldn't hope to block both of them. Juliana charged Jubilee. She pivoted around the girl and shoulder-checked her into Janette. Janette's hands flashed around Jubilee and grabbed Juliana. The three went tumbling across the matt. Juliana rolled away from the pair. Janette pushed herself up, but stopped with a howl when her hair snapped taught. Her hair had been firmly glued to Jubilee's with a wad of gum. "Thanks!" Juliana flashed the guy with the gum a thumbs up. With their hair firmly stuck together, the two proved easy prey to Juliana's quick fingers. And it was over. Almost before $name had taken four full breaths. Juliana stood in the middle of the matt, her ample breasts heaving. Sweat ran down her scantily clad body, and four groaning naked girls lay scattered around her. [["\"Well.\""|ep3d2_treadmill_fight_4]] [["\"Yeah! That's my sister!\""|ep3d2_treadmill_fight_4]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_treadmill_fight_4]]Natalie's jaw hung open. The crowd was silent. "So, you're going to leave Natalie alone from now on right?" asked Jubilee Jezebel glared. Juliana put a hand on her hip and tapped her foot. "Well?" "Fine," said Jezebel through gritted teeth. She glared at her posse. "All of you, get your ugly asses dressed. We're going back to the weight room where I'm gonna beat some proper fitness into your fat asses. Christ, there were four of you. How the hell did you lose?" Juliana pulled her shorts back on. She grinned. "So, back to the treadmills? Natalie, your mouth is hanging open." The trio returned to the weight room, but slowed as they approached. The door was missing. Terrified screams erupted from inside. "Natalie, go call the cops," said Juliana. Natalie ran. Juliana looked at $name, but $name was already slipping between the weight room and the building holding the pool. $She zipped up onto the roof and opened a secret compartment they'd installed just last week. Seconds later, Scarlet Moon swung down from of the roof and landed just outside one of the gym's emergency exits. $She pulled it open. <<set $ep3d2JulianaStripFight to true>> <<equipCostume>> [["\"Look out evil, here comes the Sensational Scarlet Moon!\""|ep3d2_prometheus_fight_start]] [["\"I don't know what's going on, but it ends now!\""|ep3d2_prometheus_fight_start]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_prometheus_fight_start]]$name grabbed a yoga matt and laid it out on the floor. $She was on $her third set of crunches when Officer Bernice Chastain sat down next to $herm. "Hey, you're that cop who helped Scarlet Moon against Succubus last month, right?" asked $name. Bernice tensed. "I'm friends with Vanessa, the waitress who got dragged along," said $name. "Thanks for looking after her." Bernice relaxed. "She doing ok?" "Yeah. She was a little bit shaken, but she's made of tough stuff." "Not surprised. If I remember, she was with Alexandra Silver when she got kidnapped by Buzzsaw. Were you there too?" "My friend and I were out in the dunes at the time," said $name. $She coughed. "We were um, resolving a volleyball spat with another player when it happened." Bernice smirked. "I see. Well, I'm glad to hear you two weren't hurt." "So, um, what's Scarlet Moon like?" Bernice eyed $name warily. "You one of those kids who worships $herm?" [["\"Well, worships is a strong word. But $she is pretty awesome!\""|ep3d2_gym_pilates_worship]] [["\"Don't be ridiculous.

"I'll give you $her heart's in the right place, but half the time $she does more harm than good. Like that fight with Buzzsaw--" "You mean where $she saved Alexandra?" asked $name. "My roommate Alexandra?" Bernice looked mildly annoyed. "Yes. $She pulled Buzzsaw into a superhuman throwdown //around a tied up hostage.// I saw what those two had done to the warehouse. It's a miracle Miss Silver wasn't hurt. Or that Buzzsaw didn't try to use her as a human shield, or even kill her just so that Scarlet Moon couldn't claim a 'win.'" "Oh." $name shifted a little. "I hadn't thought of that." "Or how about when $she fought Succubus in that restaurant?" asked Bernice. "Again, a massive superhuman throwdown //surrounded by innocent people.// And it's not like anyone was in any immediate danger. All she did was take a few shinies from people who could afford to buy new ones. Nobody appeared to be in any serious danger until Scarlet Moon busted in eyes glowing--" "OK, ok I get it," said $name. "The $girl's a bit of an amateur. Doesn't mean the city wouldn't be better off without $herm. Or should $she have let Succubus have Silver tower too?" Bernice sighed. "No. $She did the best $she probably could there. <<keyword $ep3d1SavedCrowd 'And $she showed incredible restraint last night.'

I just wish $she had some proper training in deescalation and how to handle hostage situations." "Well, why don't you teach $herm?" asked $name. "Oh god no. If the chief found out..." Bernice shuddered. "Best not to think about that." [["\"Aww, come on.

She tapped her lips thoughtfully. "$Girl's a bit out of control, perhaps a bit overeager sure. But a maniac? Nah." "$She runs around fighting crime in <<sexycostume 'lingerie' 'pajamas'>>," said $name. Bernice cocked an eyebrow. "Last I checked, they don't make <<sexycostume 'lingerie' 'pajamas'>> out of spandex.

Bernice fell into a crouch, while $name dove behind a nearby machine. "Good reflexes," muttered Bernice. Prometheus stepped into the gym and put her hands on her hips. A smirk twisted her face. "'Sup guys. Anybody wanna be my spotter?" Bernice's face paled. Her eyes flicked about the gym. She slowly approached the supervillain. "What do you want?" $name glanced about. $She didn't see Juliana anywhere, but $she did see the locker room. "Isn't it obvious Officer Lace?" Prometheus leaned in close. "I'm looking for a sparring partner." "Well, how about--" Bernice's words cutoff when Prometheus grabbed her around the throat. "And I figure this place's the best place for a fight. So many wonderful toys." Prometheus flung Bernice against a pile of mats leaning against the wall. "And an audience. No reason to fight if there isn't an audience." $name eased towards the locker room, darting from machine to machine, whenever Prometheus wasn't looking $her way. Which was often. Observant, this chick wasn't. Bernice coughed and sucked in a breath. She glared at Prometheus. "I don't want to hurt you. And you //don't// want to piss off the GCPD." "What're they gonna do? Spank me and send me to bed without dinner?" Prometheus' eyes sparked. "I'm so scared." There was a moment of tense silence while the cop and the villain stared each other down. Bernice's lips twitched. "I get it. You're waiting for Scarlet Moon to show up." [["Quietly: "She won't have to wait long.""|ep3d2_gym_pilates_prometheus_1]] [["Quietly: "Careful what you wish for.""|ep3d2_gym_pilates_prometheus_1]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_gym_pilates_prometheus_1]]Prometheus frowned. "You don't actually want to hurt anybody, you just want a rematch," said Bernice. "What's wrong? Cranky you can't find any pants?" $name bolted into the locker room. <<include ep3d2_prometheus_fight>>$She came face to face with a whole bunch of people cowering in among the lockers, staring at $herm with wide eyes. "Prometheus is here, go out the emergency exit! Now!" They bolted. $name tore open $her locker door. $She pulled open the bag and yanked out $her costume. $She pulled open a ceiling tile with a crimson cord and slipped up into the ceiling. [["\"Scarlet Moon go!\""|ep3d2_prometheus_fight_side_door]] [["\"Just one peaceful gym session.

Prometheus dropped Chastain, and whipped around arm out to clothesline the heroine.

Little tendrils of energy snaked out of $her feet and back into the many cracks and nooks in the wall, securing $herm to it. A spring formed around $her fist. Prometheus charged out of the flames, her fist pulled back and a battlecry on her lips. Scarlet Moon grabbed the woman's wrist, threw her into the air above $herm, and rammed $her spring into the woman's chest. [["\"You're it.\""|ep3d2_prometheus_fight_success]] [["\"Leave these kids alone.\""|ep3d2_prometheus_fight_success]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_prometheus_fight_success]]Scarlet Moon staggered backwards. $Her eyes burned under the flame's blinding light. $Her shield shuddered. The air scorched $her lungs with every breath. $She fell to one knee, $her arms held up crosswise in front of $herm. All of $her forcefield swirled in front of $herm, yet still it barely held the licking, hungry fires at bay. Prometheus burst out out of the fires and kicked Scarlet Moon's arms. <<include ep3d2_prometheus_fight_failure>>Scarlet Moon flew through the wall behind $herm. Bricks sailed everywhere. Shrieks ripped the air. A cloud of steam formed around the $heroine, obscuring $her vision. A fiery serpent lashed through the stream and struck Scarlet Moon in the face. Scarlet Moon stumbled backwards. $She could feel the heat of the serpent's lash even through $her shields. $She lashed a cord to something behind $herm and zipped up into the air. $She had been flung into the pool area. Could be useful. [["\"Alright, I've had enough, time to turn the tables.\""|ep3d2_prometheus_fight_failure_1]] [["\"Gotta get some space.\""|ep3d2_prometheus_fight_failure_1]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_prometheus_fight_failure_1]]Prometheus sailed into the pool room, an obscuring cloud of steam rising around her. She swirled her flames into a steaming battering ram and flung it at Scarlet Moon. Scarlet Moon zipped backwards. A gout of flame forced $herm to twist in midair, and the battering ram struck $herm in the gut. $She shrieked. The cord dissipated, and $she plummetted into the pool. Prometheus laughed scornfully. "This the best you can do Moon? I'm disappointed--" A scarlet cord burst out of the water and lashed itself to Prometheus' chest. Prometheus yelped and grabbed the cord. It zipped into the pool, dragging the fiery villain with it. Scarlet Moon kicked Prometheus in the chest, sending the woman sailing backwards through the water. The $heroine lashed another cord to her, yanked her back in range, and punched her in the face. Prometheus tried to swim away, but a cord to the pool wall let Scarlet Moon zip past her, punch her in the kidney as $she zipped past, swing around to cut her off, and punch her again. Prometheus' eyes sparked, and the water started to boil. Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the ceiling above the pool and zipped out of the water before it could cook $herm alive. $She hung from the roof gasping for air. Prometheus pulled herself out of the water. She snarled and steam rose from her skin. "I really, really hate water." [["\"Hey, don't blame me.

Scarlet Moon burst back outside, slammed into the road and rolled onto the quad. $She lashed a cord to a nearby tree and zipped up into the branches. Prometheus walked out of the building, flames swirling around her. "Whatcha doing up there Scarlet Moon? Come on down, and let's play a little game I made up called Toasting Toes." Prometheus flung a fireball at Scarlet Moon. Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the belltower and zipped onto it. "Why are you doing this? Why attack these students?" Prometheus grinned and her eyes sparked. "Why? Because we stand at the dawn of a new world order. A world owned by people like us. Supremes.

The sphere above Prometheus' head exploded, the force of the explosion slammed Scarlet Moon into the bell tower. Hovering above Prometheus where the giant fireball had been, was a giant serpent made entirely of flames. "Lookee what I can do," said Prometheus. Suddenly, a torrent of water arced around the belltower and slammed Tempestas into the ground. The water swirled into the air and shaped itself into something resembling a crocodile. Tempestas pushed herself to her feet. "Hey. Sorry I'm late. Was on my way to help when I got waylaid." "I don't suppose you could make like a wind bird, or something?" asked Scarlet Moon.

"You know, I couldn't imagine anything more satisfying than upending that uppity $heroine and toasting $her sitspots. Never realized just how little imagination I had," said Prometheus. "What about Tempestas?" asked Poseidon. Prometheus shushed him. "Don't ruin the moment." Buzzsaw slammed into the dirt between the pair and the two $heroines. Tempestas scrambled away from Scarlet Moon. She tried to stand, but fell to her knees. Scarlet Moon rolled into a crouch. Prometheus sighed. "Never mind." [["\"Great.

Poseidon laughed. "Walked right into that one." Poseidon's lips drew back into a snarl. "You are in desperate need of some manners." "You are in desperate need of a life," said Tempestas. "Running around, setting shit on fire just because you can? You some pothead thinks she's fighting the system? Or maybe you're hoping that if you light a big enough fire, mommy and daddy'll actually look at you for more than--" "Enough!" Prometheus' hair turned into flames. She flung Tempestas' face into the dirt, grabbed the woman's ankles and hoisted her upside down into the air. She grabbed Tempestas' spandex pants and ripped them off, exposing a pair of milky white cheeks left fully exposed by a white g-string. "I'm gonna blister your fat ass until you're crying so hard you're in danger of dying of dehydration!" "Too bad yo mama couldn't be bothered to do the same to you." Tempestas hoisted herself up a little and looked past her own torso at Prometheus. "Maybe you wouldn't be such a lifeless lose-" Prometheus' hand whipped through the air and slammed into Tempestas' firm, protruding bottom. The heroine's pale cheeks flattened beneath the brutal blow. The force of the smack made Tempestas swing like a pendulum. Prometheus drew her hand back and struck Tempestas' bottom again at the peak of her back swing, sending the pale moons into a quivering fit. Two bright overlapping handprints adorned Tempestas' bottom, one across the peaks of her cheeks, the other just a bit further down (or up?) across her sitspots. Tempestas grunted.

"That's right," said Prometheus, panting fiercely. "You're feeling it now right? No witty comebacks? No pretending you know shit about me. Maybe it's time to blister the other cheek."

Prometheus, think you could--" Prometheus flicked her fingers over her shoulder. Her hand glowed, and both the geiser and paddle froze. Prometheus' hand sank into Tempestas' upside down bottom, and the heroine finally let out a good and proper shriek. Scarlet Moon shivered as the ice burned $her exposed skin. $She flexed and wiggled, but the ice was solid as steel. "Oh yes, squirm all you want.

"I've got a few angles I want to work, and we should both try to rest some." Scarlet Moon nodded. A crowd had started to gather. Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to nearby building and zipped away. [["Return home."|ep3d2_return_home]]$name staggered into $her suite's common room and collapsed on the couch. Vanessa sat in the armchair, watching the news. She glanced over at $name. "You have the most terrible luck on the planet." <<keyword $ep2d3SuccubusOfficeDefeated '"Says the girl who had front row seating to not one, but *two* Supreme throwdowns,"' '"Says the girl who got dragged up and down Silver Tower,"'>> said $name. "Touche." Vanessa leaned back in her chair. "Figures the gym'd get busted right as it's getting colder." "You seen Juliana yet?" asked $name. Vanessa shook her head. $name messaged Juliana, but she didn't respond. $name grunted in annoyance and leaned $her head against a pillow. The slightly panicked exclamations of the newscaster faded into a buzz and lulled $name to sleep. The door swung open, and $name jerked awake. Juliana stumbled into the suite, clutching her bottom, her face marred by tears. Natalie poked her head out. "Oh, Juliana, you're back! What-" "Don't wanna talk about it." Juliana pushed her door open and vanished inside. $name threw a confused look at Natalie, who looked hurt and guilty. [["\"What happened?\""|ep3d2_return_home_1]] [["\"Do you know what's going on?\""|ep3d2_return_home_1]]"Well, we were on our way back here after running away from the gym and the superpowered crazies, when Juliana got a call from the school administration.

"Strip what?" said Vanessa, straightening in her chair. "But...it was to help me," said Natalie quietly. $name massaged $her forehead. "I know, and it's not your fault. Just, give me a second with her." Natalie shrunk back behind her door. "Do you think she hates me?" [["\"Of course not.\""|ep3d2_juliana_scholarship]] [["\"None of this is your fault, and she knows that.\""|ep3d2_juliana_scholarship]] [["Shake your head."|ep3d2_juliana_scholarship]]"What? What about? What happened?" asked $name, getting off the couch. Natalie backed up a step. "Well, while you were off doing whatever, Jezebel and her drones started harassing me like...like they usually do. Juliana defended me, and um it kinda escalated into a strip fight, Juliana against Jezebel's drones." $name ran a hand down $her face. "Of course it did." Natalie shrugged. "I um wouldn't know. Somehow, Juliana won, stripped every stitch off of every one of them. They're supposed to leave me alone."

"Go away." "Let me in, Juli it's me," said $name. "Besides, we have other problems." There was a moment of silence. The door unlocked. $name slipped in, closing the door behind $herm. "Juli, talk to-oh." Juliana lay facedown on the bed, her shorts around her ankles. Her caramel buttocks were fully exposed by her g-string, revealing five parallel welts from the top of her cheeks to the sit spots, and a single diagonal welt across them. Small pinpricks of blood welled up in the spots where the diagonal welt met the parallel ones. "Apparently it's a caning technique called 'Five Bar Gate,' and the sixth is called 'Closing the Gate,'" said Juliana. "Oh no, you are not getting all detached on me." $name sat down at Juliana's head and rubbed her shoulders. "What happened?" Juliana buried her face in her pillow. "That...that...woman Jezebel decided to throw Daddy's weight around with the Dean. Not only did I get caned while she and her...stupid friends got off scot-free, but they're taking away my scholarship!" Juliana's entire body shook as she sobbed. "We can't afford this place without it." <<names>> eyes flared. [["\"I'm gonna take that little rat someplace not even Daddy can reach.\""|ep3d2_scholarship_daddy_reach]] [["\"Maybe I oughta teach little Jezzy a lesson about karma.\""|ep3d2_scholarship_daddy_reach]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_scholarship_daddy_reach]]"Don't even think about it," said Juliana, rolling onto her side and grabbing <<names>> arm. "And why not?" asked $name in a low voice. "Well, we have two options. One, you kick her butt as you, in which case you'll lose your scholarship too, or just straight up get expelled. Or two, you'll attack her as Scarlet Moon, in which case we have Scarlet Moon attacking an innocent--" "That puddle of snot is as innocent as Buzzsaw," said $name. "You'll still be attacking a college coed who hasn't broken any apparent laws or anything." $name glared at the ground. "Fine. Why not just expel you?" "It's easier," said Juliana. "And, emphasizes how much richer she is. After all, she doesn't need a scholarship. In fact, her family donates millions to the school every year." [["Growl."|ep3d2_surveillance]] [["\"So the system won't show her the error of her ways.\""|ep3d2_surveillance]] [["\"Unfortunately for her, I don't take donations.\""|ep3d2_surveillance]]"No assaulting college coeds," said Juliana. "Unless they dress up in a crazy costume and start terrorizing the city. Speaking of which..." Juliana rolled off her bed, stepped out of her shorts, and limped to her computer. "What happened with Prometheus?" $name brought Juliana up to speed. Juliana massaged her forehead. "Great, so those two are working for Buzzsaw then, or whoever Buzzsaw's working for. Fortunately, I got a few pictures of Prometheus with my phone. Her mask sucks, so with the help of a program I cobbled together from a few research prototypes, and the police station's database of images-" "Wait, the police have a database of images?" "Of everyone in the city." Juliana fired up a terminal and typed a few commands. "If you've appeared in public anywhere in the city, the police have a picture of your face, and a very racist machine learning program has tagged your likelihood of being a criminal. At least it //was// racist. These days, it rates you based on how much you look like the chief of police." "Including of me?" "Why do you think your mask covers so much? Tempestas knows about it too, based on her outfit." Juliana checked her watch. "We've got about two hours before you're supposed to meet with Tempestas. I won't have anything ready for you for at least another forty-five minutes. So why don't you go rest, get something to eat, that sort of thing. You're gonna need your energy." [["\"All right.\""|ep3d2_surveillance_1b]] [["\"The chief of police eh?

Natalie cracked her knuckles and swayed back and forth. "She'll be fine," said $name. "She got her scholarship taken away--" "Ohhh, this is all my fault," said Natalie. Vanessa put a hand on Natalie's shoulder. "No, it's this Jezebel's. You're one of the victims here. I'll talk to Alexandra, maybe her mother-" Natalie scoffed. "Please. Jezebel's Alexandra's sister. She won't do shit." "Maybe." "Definitely." [["\"Well, there's nothing we can do about it now.\""|ep3d2_surveillance_1a]] [["\"I agree with Vanessa, it's worth a shot. For one, Alex likes Juli. Maybe she doesn't like her sister very much?\""|ep3d2_surveillance_1a]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_surveillance_1a]]$name returned to $her room, fell onto $her bed and passed out again. $Her phone buzzed and $she jerked awake. A message from Juliana. *Ready.* $name returned to Juliana's room. There were two school pictures up on the screen. One looked a lot like Prometheus without her mask, while the other looked like Poseidon. Juliana crouched on the seat of her computer chair, her welted bottom still clad only in a g-string. She grinned and gestured to the screen. "Say hello to the twins Pauline and Leonard Chastain." "Chastain? As in--" "Officer Bernice Chastain." Juliana's grin turned wicked. "Looks like our cop friend has a few skeletons in her closet. Their father works at Nezerwallup, while their mother is head of Silver Ant's legal division. They're filthy rich--" "And think the rules don't apply to them," said $name in a dark voice. "Worse. These are the kinds of people who twist, distort, and rewrite the rules so that they don't apply to them," said Juliana. "Now, conveniently enough, Bernice isn't on duty today, and she likes to run parkour on her off days along Freedom Lane. Why don't you go pay her a visit?" [["\"You know that? Creeping me out Juli.\""|ep3d2_surveillance_1]] [["\"How do you know this?\""|ep3d2_surveillance_1]] [["Shift uneasily from foot to foot"|ep3d2_surveillance_1]]Something glinted in Juliana's eye. "We live in a surveillance state, $name. One that sucks at computer security. You wouldn't believe what you can find with an internet connection, halfway decent hacking skills, and a couple hours free time every day." A few minutes later, Scarlet Moon swung towards Freedom Lane. $She spied a few folk running and rolling across the roof. "That must be them. See Bernice anywhere?" "No." Scarlet Moon landed on a billboard above the group. "Think she knows Prometheus and Poseidon are her siblings?" "Almost certainly. Their masks kinda sucked. Could be she's helping them hide." "Or trying to find them and bring them in," said Scarlet Moon. "Come on, you're not usually the one to assume the worst about people." "Yeah, well. Guess I'm in a dark mood." [["\"Well, lighten up a little. You're scaring me.\""|ep3d2_surveillance_2]] [["\"I understand completely.\""|ep3d2_surveillance_2]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_surveillance_2]]"Wait, I see a few people talking down in an alleyway." Scarlet Moon hopped off the billboard, rolled across the roof and eased to the building's edge. $She peered down. Three women stood in the alley talking. Bernice Chastain, clad in a long-sleeved spandex shirt, and a pair of running shorts over tights, stood with her back against the wall and her arms crossed. The other two wore skintight black catsuits that showed off every inch of their fit figures. One was rather short, while the other was tall. The short one had chinlength red hair and a cute, freckled face. She was maybe 100 pounds soaking wet. The other had luxurious brown hair. She was also much more voluptuous than her partner, with ample breasts and curvy hips. <<equipCostume>> <<if $ep2d3Megawater>> <<include 'ep3d2_chastain_megawater'>> <<elseif $ep1d2Fedora>> <<include 'ep3d2_chastain_whistlers'>> <<else>> <<include ep3d2_chastain_unknown>> <</if>>"Well, well, well. The two secret agents from Megawater," said Generalissima. "What a surprise." Scarlet Moon lashed a couple of cords to the two agents' shoulders and zipped them into the air. "Hey!" said Dana, the brunette. "What the fuck?" said Marie, the redhead. [["\"Now, what do you two think you're doing, harassing my pal Bernice?\""|ep3d2_chastain_agents]] [["\"What's going on here?\""|ep3d2_chastain_agents]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_chastain_agents]]Marie groaned. "Just what we need. Red Butt shoving $her nose in where it's not wanted." "Thanks for the help Moon," said Bernice with a wave. "These Feds were getting on my nerves." "Feds?" "Yeah, a couple of FBI agents or something-" The redhead scoffed. "FBI? Please. Buncha amateurs. We're the best of the best of the best." "The Men in Black?" asked Bernice. "Except for being women, and superspies rather than incompetent government agents dealing with squid aliens, yes," said Marie. "I see. They took Succubus off our hands after we arrested her. Now they think I know something about Generica's newest supervillains. I swear, fight alongside a superhero once, and you never live it down." "This has nothing to do with Succubus," said Dana. She looked up at Scarlet Moon. "The fact that you're here means you've figured it out too, yes? Probably using the same shoddily secured database." "Don't give them anything," said Generalissima. Scarlet Moon massaged $her forehead. [["\"I don't have time for inane posturing.\""|ep3d2_chastain_agents_1]] [["\"I'd really rather not spend twenty minutes bickering with these people.\""|ep3d2_chastain_agents_1]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_chastain_agents_1]]"What?" said Marie. "Nothing." Scarlet Moon plopped the two back on the ground and leapt into the alley next to Bernice. "Bernice, I need to know where your siblings are. Pauline and Leonard. I think they're Prometheus and Poseidon. And what's worse, they've fallen in with a really bad crowd." <<include ep3d2_chastain_siblings>>It was the pair in fedoras hunkering outside Buzzsaw's hideout back in September. What were they doing here? Scarlet Moon leapt down and landed between Bernice and the two. [["\"You know, you two aren't Whistlers at all.\""|ep3d2_chastain_whistlers_1]] [["\"Well, well. We meet again. What are you doing here?\""|ep3d2_chastain_whistlers_1]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_chastain_whistlers_1]]The redhead slapped her forehead. "Son of a bitch, look who it is. The fatass dumbass who actually thought we were Whistlers, and tried to sneak into Buzzsaw's little warehouse using our fedoras. What's wrong little $lady? Lose your helmet?" Scarlet Moon's eyes flared. "Shut it red, or I'll thrash your tiny little ass." "Ooh, I'm so scared.A little $girl in <<sexycostume 'lingerie' 'pajamas'>> is going to beat me up." The redhead started shaking her knees. "Whatever will I do?" "That's enough Marie. We're on the same side," said the brunette. "My name is Dana, this is Marie. We're federal agents tasked with dealing with this superhuman...challenge. We're trying to find Prometheus and Poseidon. So are you, I imagine. And since you're here, I'll bet you know the same thing we do, likely using the same shoddily secured image database." "Don't tell them anything," said Generalissima. [["\"I don't have time for inane posturing.\""|ep3d2_chastain_whistlers_2]] [["\"I'd really rather not spend twenty minutes bickering with these people.\""|ep3d2_chastain_whistlers_2]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_chastain_whistlers_2]]"What was that?" asked Marie. "Nothing." Scarlet Moon looked over $her shoulder at Bernice. "Sorry, Bernice, but she's right. I'm looking for your siblings, Pauline and Leonard. I think they're Prometheus and Poseidon. And what's worse, they've fallen in with a really bad crowd." <<include ep3d2_chastain_siblings>>Scarlet Moon leapt down and landed between Bernice and the two in catsuits. The two took a step back. "Well, look who it is," said the redhead. "Been wondering when we'd finally have to meet." "Who are you?" asked Scarlet Moon. "And what do you want with Officer Chastain?" The brunette rested a hand on the redhead's arm, and took a step forward. "My name is Dana, this is Marie. We're federal agents tasked with dealing with this superhuman...challenge. We're trying to find Prometheus and Poseidon. So are you, I imagine. And since you're here, I'll bet you know the same thing we do, likely using the same shoddily secured image database." "Don't tell them anything," said Generalissima.

"Nothing." Scarlet Moon looked over $her shoulder at Bernice. "Sorry, Bernice, but she's right. I'm looking for your siblings, Pauline and Leonard. I think they're Prometheus and Poseidon. And what's worse, they've fallen in with a really bad crowd." <<include ep3d2_chastain_siblings>>Generalissima slapped her forehead. "I'm gonna tan your hide." Bernice's eyes narrowed. Then doubled in size. "Oh shit." She grabbed Scarlet Moon's outfit. "You need to get to my parents. //Now.//" "Where do they live?" asked Scarlet Moon. "1734 Rich Dr." Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the roof and rocketed up into the air. [["\"Tell me you got GPS.\""|ep3d2_chastain_siblings_0]] [["\"Any idea where that is?\""|ep3d2_chastain_siblings_0]] [["\"Generalissima?\""|ep3d2_chastain_siblings_0]]"Already on it," said Generalissima. Scarlet Moon was halfway there when a gust of wind nearly slammed $herm into a building and Tempestas roared past. "What's taking you? Move your scarlet ass," said Tempestas. "How do you know--" "Because I did my research," said Tempestas. She landed on a rooftop, sprinted across and leapt into the air. "Now move!" Moments later, Scarlet Moon and Tempestas soared over the walls of a gated neighborhood. "Ugh," said Generalissima. "Gated neighborhood. Can you say paranoid rich people?" [["\"Well, there are a pair of supervillains out to get them.\""|ep3d2_chastain_siblings_1]] [["\"Considering the riots of '33...\""|ep3d2_chastain_siblings_1]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_chastain_siblings_1]]Tempestas stopped on the peak of one towering white McMansion, and stared across the street at another towering white McMansion. "1734 Rich Dr," said Generalissima. "Right across the street." The home was quiet. An American flag snapped in the brisk November breeze. Tempestas breathed a sigh of relief. A column of water slammed into her from behind, and rammed her through the Chastain's front door. Scarlet Moon spun and got the same treatment. $She smashed through the front window and rolled across the living room. "What the hell?" An older man with hair very similar to Bernice Chastain's leapt to his feet. A woman rushed into the living room. She took a step back and gasped. [["\"Don't worry, I'm sure your insurance will cover it.\""|ep3d2_chastains_snark]] [["\"Both of you, get out of here!\""|ep3d2_chastains]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_chastains]]"Now is not the time for jokes," snapped Tempestas, jumping to her feet. <<include ep3d2_chastains>>A tentacle of water burst through the hole where the front door once was, wrapped itself around Tempestas, and flung her through the stairs. "Hope those aren't load bearing." Prometheus stepped into the living room, wreathed in flames. Her eyes glowed white-hot. Poseidon stepped in just behind her. Scarlet Moon's eyes flared and $she fired a scarlet beam at the fiery villain. [["\"Come now Prommy, you know better than to roughhouse indoors.\""|ep3d2_chastains_1]] [["\"Today is not my day Prometheus, so I'd be very careful if I were you.\""|ep3d2_chastains_1]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_chastains_1]]Prometheus ducked the blast and bathed the super$heroine in flames. "Hang on Glo$girl. I've got a message to deliver." Prometheus turned molten eyes on the Chastains. "Roots sends her regards." The woman backed up a step. "Oh God..." Prometheus smirked. "Homework's done. Time to play!" Tempestas burst out of the ruins of the stairs, and lunged at Prometheus. Poseidon stepped between the two and caught Tempestas. The two flew backwards into the street. Ice formed over Poseidon's body, while Prometheus' flames flared. Scarlet Moon wrapped the flames in a cocoon of scarlet energy. Prometheus scowled, and the flames flared, straining against the cocoon. Sweat beated on Scarlet Moon's forehead. The cocoon flexed and pulsed, but held. The flames started to die down, and then petered out. Prometheus' mouth formed a little o. [["\"Turns out both you and your flames need oxygen. If only someone had payed attention in chemistry.\""|ep3d2_chastains_2]] [["\"This is gonna hurt you a lot more than it does me.\""|ep3d2_chastains_2]] [["Smirk."|ep3d2_chastains_2]]Scarlet Moon fired a scarlet beam that sent Prometheus flying back out into the street. Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the crumbling ceiling and zipped outside. Poseidon uppercutted Tempestas into the air. Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the villain's shoulder and zipped feet first into his face. Ice flew everywhere and Poseidon went skipping across the asphalt. A sheet of flame roared towards the $superheroine. A hurricane force gust blasted Scarlet Moon's clothing and hair, and the flames arced past $herm and washed over Poseidon, making the villain howl in pain. Prometheus shrieked, and the flames cut off. She turned her molten glare on Tempestas. "I'm getting really tired of you twisting my fire every which way wind-bitch." "That wasn't me." Tempestas pointed above her to a swirl of leaves, dirt, twigs and almost heat ripples in the vague shape of a bird of prey. "That was Yomama." [["\"Hah hah, yes! Tempestas you're brilliant!\""|ep3d2_chastains_3]] [["\"That...is a name, I suppose.\""|ep3d2_chastains_3]] [["Groan."|ep3d2_chastains_3]]Prometheus' teeth drew back. A gout of flame washed over the airy bird, the heat distorting the winds enough to dissipate the minion. "Congratulations copycat." Tempestas leapt at Prometheus. "I know a good idea when I see one." "Well what do you think of this?" Prometheus swung a fire laden fist at Tempestas. Tempestas twisted around the fist and sent a left-hook across Prometheus' jaw. Prometheus backflipped with the punch, her knees colliding with Tempestas' chin, sending the heroine sprawling backwards while she landed on her feet. "Not impressed," said Tempestas. "Give it up Pauline. Yes I know who you are, and I know all about your history." "Talking with big sis huh? Always knew she was a gossip girl." Prometheus shrugged. "I'm not saying I'm a fan of mommy and daddy dearest. But trust me. They're not worth my time. Not anymore." A ram of water roared towards Tempestas. Tempestas leapt backwards, narrowly avoiding the battering ram. Scarlet Moon countered with a beam that Poseidon blocked with a wall of water. "Now, it's time for round three," said Prometheus. [["\"One can of whup-ass coming right up.\""|ep3d2_chastains_victory]] [["\"The final round.

Yomama wrestled with Poseidon's crocodile, before getting blown apart by Prometheus' snake. Scarlet Moon's staff ripped through them, scattering them and sending Prometheus and Poseidon flying. Firebolts got redirected. Blasts of water sent the $superheroines flying. But finally, Scarlet Moon blasted Prometheus into the concrete, while Tempestas kicked Poseidon hard enough to leave him on groaning on the ground. <<if $ep3d1DefeatedByPrometheusPoseidon>> Prometheus rammed her fist against the pavement, yelped and shook her fist.

Scarlet Moon leaned in until $her breath tickled the villain's ears. "Do you have any idea how much of a pain in the ass you've been the past few days?" Scarlet Moon's hand glowed. $She grabbed Prometheus' shorts and ripped them in two. Prometheus' hips bounced and her small, tight, utterly naked buttocks jiggled with the movement.

Scarlet Moon grabbed the back of her tanktop and ripped that off too, leaving Prometheus naked except her PVC thigh-high boots and small butterfly mask. Prometheus squirmed anxiously. "Leave me alone you lunatic." Scarlet Moon pressed Prometheus' face into the cool asphalt. $She raised $her hand. A glowing crimson ruler formed in $her fist. The ruler arced down, turning into a crimson blur as it cut the air. It struck the middle swell of both villainous cheeks. A great snap bounced off the neighborhood houses. The girl's firm bum flattened beneath the strike and bounced back in a frantic wobble. Prometheus howled and thrashed her hips about. The ruler arced again and struck just below the first smack. Prometheus wailed and clawed at the fist holding her hair, pressing her face against the dirty, cracked road. The ruler snapped a third time, just below that. This time the scarlet ruler dug into the woman's sitspots, eliciting an even more frantic howl. The fourth stroke struck the sensitive crease where bum met thigh. Prometheus bucked wildly. Her legs scissored desperately. The fifth stroke kissed the tops of her sensitive thighs. The meaty flesh jiggled beneath the stroke. A sob mingled with Prometheus' wail. Scarlet Moon worked $her way back up, striking the tops of the thighs a second time. The crease next, followed by the sitspots and two strokes across the peaks of the villain's cheeks. Three times Scarlet Moon worked that ruler up and down the Prometheus' lower bottom. By the time $she finished, Prometheus lay sobbing into the dirt, her limbs twitching with every stroke, her bottom even redder than her shredded costume. Scarlet Moon glanced over at Tempestas, to see the heroine had reduced Poseidon to a similar sobbing wreck. <<set $spanker to $spanker + 1>> [["\"Well, this has been satisfying.\""|ep3d2_chastains_victory_agents]] [["\"Wonder if those federal agents are gonna show up.\""|ep3d2_chastains_victory_agents]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_chastains_victory_agents]]Scarlet Moon rolled Poseidon onto his face. $She grabbed the boy's hair and yanked his head off the ground.

A great snap bounced off the neighborhood houses. The boy's firm bum flattened beneath the strike and bounced back in a frantic wobble. Poseidon howled and thrashed his hips about. The ruler arced again and struck just below the first smack. Poseidon wailed and clawed at the fist holding his hair, pressing his face against the dirty, cracked road. The ruler snapped a third time, just below that. This time the scarlet ruler dug into the man's sitspots, eliciting an even more frantic howl. The fourth stroke struck the sensitive crease where bum met thigh. Poseidon bucked wildly . His legs scissored desperately. The fifth stroke kissed the tops of his sensitive thighs. The meaty flesh jiggled beneath the stroke. A sob mingled with Poseidon' wail. Scarlet Moon worked $her way back up, strikin the tops of the thighs a second time. The crease next, followed by the sitspots and two strokes across the peaks of the villain's cheeks. Three times Scarlet Moon worked that ruler up and down the Poseidon' lower bottom. By the time $she finished, Poseidon lay sobbing into the dirt, his limbs twitching with every stroke, his bottom even redder than his sister's costume. Scarlet Moon glanced over at Tempestas, to see the heroine had reduced Prometheus to a similar sobbing wreck. <<set $spanker to $spanker + 1>> [["\"Well, this has been satisfying.\""|ep3d2_chastains_victory_agents]] [["\"Wonder if those federal agents are gonna show up.\""|ep3d2_chastains_victory_agents]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_chastains_victory_agents]]An unmarked car sped down the abandoned street and came to a screeching halt next to the defeated supervillains. The two spandex-clad agents, the redhead Marie and brunette Dana, hopped out. They each pulled out pairs of handcuffs made of a strange, red-tinted metal and latched them to Prometheus' and Poseidon's wrists. "What are those?" asked Generalissima. "What are those?" asked Scarlet Moon. "Special handcuffs we developed real fast," said Marie. She hoisted Poseidon onto his feet. "Keep you folks from regenerating whatever super mojo fuels your powers. We can't cut off your powers yet, so you all still need to get your butts kicked, but that'll come." Scarlet Moon backed up a step. [["\"Well, that's certainly ominous.\""|ep3d2_chastains_victory_agents_1]] [["\"I see.\""|ep3d2_chastains_victory_agents_1]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_chastains_victory_agents_1]]"Fascinating," said Generalissima. Tempestas' eyes narrowed. "Any chance you'll share those with the GCPD?" Marie scoffed. "And make the feds irrelevant again? Naw." Mrs. Chastain hurried out, tears in her eyes. "Where are you taking them?" "Doesn't matter Mrs. Chastain. You're not helping these two out of trouble again," said Dana. Mrs. Chastain's hand clenched into fists. "I have a right to--" "No you don't," said Marie. She pushed Poseidon into the backseat. Mrs. Chastain's eyes narrowed. "The law begs to differ." "And I'm sure you'll twist that law into pretzels to get your precious little babies out of trouble. Again," said Marie. She slammed the door shut. "But you're gonna need to do a lot of twisting this time." "Marie, show some consideration. These are her children," said Dana. She shoved Prometheus into the back next to her brother and closed the door. "Everyone's somebody's kid." Marie pulled open the passenger seat and slipped in. She smirked at Scarlet Moon and Tempestas. "Thanks for the help kiddos. Keep your nose clean, 'less you want to go where they're going. Ain't fun, I promise you that." "I don't like the sounds of that," said Generalissima. [["\"Also ominous.\""|ep3d2_chastains_victory_agents_2]] [["\"Oh no, I refuse to care about the fate of supervillains.\""|ep3d2_chastains_victory_agents_2]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_chastains_victory_agents_2]]The two super agents drove off. Mrs. Chastain watched it go. She fell to her knees and buried her face in her hands. Her shoulders started to shake. Mr. Chastain came out and kneeled next to her. His voice was thick, and his hands shook. "Always knew those two would bury themselves so deep you couldn't pull them out. Still, you'll ferret out where they are. FOIA's a beautiful thing." Mrs. Chastain shook her head. "It's not just that I'm worried about. If Roots has her claws in them..." "Whose Roots?" asked Scarlet Moon. Mrs. Chastain's head whipped around to Scarlet Moon. Her jaw clenched. "You don't want to know." "Look, maybe I can help, I am kinda--" "A stupid little $girl playing hero," snapped Mrs. Chastain. "Now get out of my sight you incompetent <<female 'trollop' 'boy'>>." Scarlet Moon latched a cord to a nearby chimney. [["\"Next time I'll just let them burn your house down around your ears.\""|ep3d2_end]] [["\"I'm sorry I couldn't help ma'am.

Half an hour later, $name dragged $herself into $her suite and knocked on Juliana's door. Juliana pulled it open and gestured $herm in. Juliana had a suitcase open with it half full of clothing. "What are you doing?" asked $name. "I'm leaving at the end of the semester, remember?" Juliana had managed to pull on some pants, a pair of soft sweatpants that hugged her curvy bottom in a manner that was most fetching, and probably quite painful. $name collapsed onto Juliana's bed. "Yeah, but you've still got a month." "Yeah, but..." Juliana tossed a sparkly green dress into the suitcase. "Figured I'd pack some of the stuff that's a bit too cold to wear anyway. Thought about trying to learn more about these two super agents, but my heart's just not in it." <<if $ep3d1DefeatedByPrometheusPoseidon>> "These past few days have just been fubared beyond all repair haven't they?" <<elseif $ep3d2KDefeatedByPrometheusPoseidon2>> "Yeah. Suck all around." <<else>> "How is it we won every fight, and yet I still feel like we lost?" <</if>> Juliana patted $name on the shoulder. "Tell me about it. Still, nothing we can do about it but move--" A knock came at the door. "Yes?" said Juliana, a hint of irritation creeping into her voice. "Hey, it's me," said Alexandra. [["\"And now Alex's shown up. Wonderful.\""|ep3d2_end_1]] [["\"I swear to God if she so much as thinks something smug I'm gonna wallop her.\""|ep3d2_end_1]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_end_1]] <<removeCostume>>Juliana sighed. "I don't really want to go out tonight." "Yeah, I heard Jezebel bragging at the tanning booths. Look, I got someone here wants to talk to you." "Tell Sam to go away," said Juliana. She wiped her face. "I don't wanna-" "It's not Sam you dummy. I told my mom what happened. I was thinking maybe she could help. She wanted to talk to you," said Alexandra. "Um, OK." Juliana threw a hopeful, scared glance at $name, and pulled the door open. [["\"Tell me something's going right for once.\""|ep3d2_end_1a]] [["\"Why do I have this terrible sinking feeling?\""|ep3d2_end_1a]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_end_1a]]Phillipa Silver stood in the middle of the living room with her hands folded behind her back. Alexandra looked a bit sheepish. "Mrs. Silver." Juliana stepped out. "Can I help you?" Silver gestured to the couch. "Sit down." Juliana rubbed her bottom. "Um, I'd rather--" "Sit. Down." Juliana sat. Silver loomed over Juliana. "What you did was incredibly stupid. You let Jezebel goad--" "She didn't-" "If one more word comes out of your mouth before I give you permission, I will upend you over that couch, take a belt to your naked ass, sit you down and start over." [["\"Shit.\""|ep3d2_end_2]] [["\"Sooo glad I'm not Juli right now.\""|ep3d2_end_2]] [["Say nothing."|ep3d2_end_2]]Juliana's mouth closed with an audible click. "You let Jezebel goad you into a lose-lose situation. Either you're humiliated, or thrown out. You really think she's just going to leave Miss Napier alone? She'll make her life a living hell to prove that she always wins in the end. Always. What were you thinking? Speak girl, I'm a very busy woman." "Natalie knows she's not alone," said Juliana. The door to Natalie's room burst open. She ran out and gave Juliana a hug. Juliana returned the hug. She grinned at Silver. "I've got a new friend for life. Worth some stuffy old scholarship, don't you think?" Alexandra rolled her eyes and made a gagging sound. Silver raised her eyebrows at Alexandra. "Who came running as soon as she found out?" Alexandra crossed her arms and huffed. Silver returned her gaze to Juliana. "You're still an idiot. You're punching up girl, way up. When you punch up, you've got two choices: subtlety or martyrdom. And you are far, far too talented to get tossed in the garbage like a bag of moldy bread. You're going to work as an intern at my company for the //entirety// of your time at Nezzerwallup. Then you will work for me for //at least// five years. Silver Ant will cover your tuition, room and board through a scholarship I created fifteen minutes ago." Juliana grinned broadly. "Oh, thank you Mrs. Silver." "We'll see how long that gratitude lasts." Silver jabbed her finger into Juliana's chest. "Your ass is mine now. You're starting on Monday. 1 pm sharp. Dress professionally, and do not be late." Silver turned on her heel and left. [["\"So. That was a thing.\""|ep3d2_end_3]] [["\"So, does that mean you're not leaving?\""|ep3d2_end_3]]Silence. "That woman is intense," said Natalie. Alexandra grunted. "You have no idea." Juliana's eyes sparkled. "This is incredible. Silver Ant's doing great things. Incredible things. Think of all the equipment I'll have access to. All the cool stuff I'll get to do." "Meh, you'll probably be mom's well-spanked coffee girl," said Alexandra with a shrug. "Now, you still gonna ditch me tonight?" Juliana grinned. "No way. I'm up for some celebration. Thanks, Alexandra." Alexandra grunted again. "We'll see how long that gratitude lasts." Later, somewhere else in the city... "I can't believe those two." Buzzsaw paced back and forth in front of the desk. "Stupid little twerps getting their dumb asses arrested. I've half a mind to just leave them to rot." "Leave them. Even a victorian trifecta only bought me temporary obedience. And that's not acceptable, now is it?" Buzzsaw stopped pacing and stood up straight. "Um no ma'am. Of course not." "Besides, they served their purpose." A hand lifted a remote and raised the volume on a television against the far wall. "Silver Ant's stocks have taken a hit after Isabelle Chastain, Silver Ant's Legal Head announced her retirement mere hours after being attacked by her own Supreme children..." The hand lowered the volume again, and laughter filled the room. [["\"Tune in next time for the Scandalous Scarlet Moon in 'Playtime!'\""|ep3d2_end_message]]Thanks for playing Scarlet Moon!

Buzzsaw is trapped under a smashed car." >> <<linkreplace "Rules">> This is a gamebook, a choose-your-own-adventure with some rules to make the game more interesting than a straight multiple choice. While your character does have a goal (stop bad guys), there aren't any game overs or "good" or "bad" ends. So, feel free to do something stupid! Just don't be surprised if you have trouble sitting afterwards. The game has three stats: //Power//, //Speed//, //Strength//. Power - How powerful your shields and energy beams and the like are. Speed - How fast you are. Strength - Your raw physical strength. //Power//, //Speed// and //Strength// are your core stats. Your powers are sort of like a lava lamp. They are constantly moving and flowing and shifting, meaning that your character's strength, speed, and power all vary over time. They are always superhuman. But sometimes one is stronger than the others. As you play, the game will periodically offer you the option to make stat checks. For example: //Scarlet Moon lands on the sidewalk in front of the young woman running down the sidewalk, stolen purse in hand. "Halt right there thief!" The young woman sneered. "Make me." [[Power: Fire a scarlet beam at the thief's face.|s1ep1d1_test]]<br> [[Speed: Fire a scarlet beam next to her foot, angled to make her trip into a garbage can.|s1ep1d1_test]]<br> [["Strength: Grab the thief."|s1ep1d1_test]]// If you click on a choice with a stat in front of it, the game will perform a //stat check// using that stat. A random number between 1 and 6 will be generated, and the stat will be added. If the result is 6 or greater, you pass. Otherwise you fail. In both cases, the chosen stat will decrease by 1. If you pass, something good for your character happens, and you can choose one other core stat to increase by 1. If you fail, something bad will happen, and the game will randomly increase one of your other core stats by 1. For example, suppose Scarlet Moon chooses to beam the thief in the face. Her current Power is 1, Speed and Strength are both 2. The game generates a 5, and adds 1, giving a 6. That's a pass! Then, the following happens: //Scarlet Moon fires a pencil-thin beam at the running thief, striking her in the face. The girl staggers, dazed. Scarlet Moon grabs her, and takes the purse from limp fingers. The old lady runs up and takes her purse. "Oh, thank you for getting my purse back from that riff-raff Scarlet Moon! You truly are a wonderful hero. Here, let me bake you some cookies." ''Scarlet Moon's Power decreases.''<br> [[Increase speed.|s1ep1d1_test]]<br> [[Increase strength.|s1ep1d1_test]]// At this point, Scarlet Moon's Power will now be 0, and either Scarlet Moon's Speed or Strength will be 3, depending on the choice the player makes. Alternatively, suppose the game generates a 4, and adds 1, giving a 5. Not high enough! Then, this happens: //Scarlet Moon unleashed a powerful scarlet beam, striking the thief in the face, and sending her flying backwards, skidding across the sidewalk. The old lady stared aghast. She checked the girl's pulse, then grabbed her purse. She started rooting around in it. "What is wrong with you, you stupid girl? You're lucky you didn't kill her!" "But, she stole your--" "Purse snatching is not a killable offense! Come here you reckless brat!" The old lady pulled a heavy wooden hairbrush out of her purse and charged Scarlet Moon. "Wait--Owww! Ahh! Aiiii!" ''Scarlet Moon's Power decreases.'' ''Scarlet Moon's Speed increases.''// In this case, Scarlet Moon got in trouble with the old lady she was trying to help. Since she failed the check, the game chose one of her other two core stats (//Speed// or //Strength//) at random and increased it by 1. Scarlet Moon's Power is now 0, while her Speed is 3. Furthermore, a stat will never go below 0. There is no upper limit. A core stat check can still be attempted if it's 0. <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "Character Customizations">> The game provides a wealth of character customization options from gender to bodytype to the clothing you're wearing. These can be freely modified at any time (yes, including gender, however NPC's will not comment on such changes). These will have minimal impact on the story, but may influence the text in small ways. The most obvious of course is which pronouns the game uses to refer to your character. Spanking scenes will typically take your clothing into account, and perhaps even hairlength. Descriptions of other characters may take in your height, etc. Sometimes, the game will automatically set your clothing to something you otherwise don't have access to (like your costume). If you change your clothing when that happens you will //not// be able to change it back. Clothing options are not restricted in any way by gender. If you want your male PC running around in a skirt, that's fine. People aren't going to comment on it though (sissification and related fetishes aren't really a part of the game). [[Go here if you want to edit your name, physical appearance, gender, and costume|customization]]. You can change these things later by following the "Other Customizations" link just under the clothing options on the left. <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "Costumes">> Under the Other Customizations link to the left, you can pick one of the following costumes. Note that the default costume is the spandex, and the costume will default to spandex whenever the PC's gender changes. Nonetheless, you are free to change your costume to whichever suits your fancy. Nobody will comment on a female Scarlet Moon with her breasts hanging out, or a male Scarlet Moon in a bikini. bikini: A white and red long-sleeved bikini top and red thong bikini bottoms. A black and gold mask, and thigh-high red boots complete the costume. speedo: A red thong speedo. A pair of red boots, some gloves, and a red domino mask complete the costume. spandex: A long-sleeved, skintight red and grey spandex shirt and pants with a red crescent moon emblazoned on the chest. A large black mask with a red crescent moon on the forehead covers the upper half of Scarlet Moon's face. <</linkreplace>> A note on clothing: Due to limitations in the game's engine, all possible clothing is available, even if it doesn't make any sense to wear, like all your possible costumes or the ability to go butt naked. The game does *not* try to handle cases like that. People won't comment if you're running around in a superheroine costume, nor will they react to you being completely naked. The game also assumes that you are wearing clothing at all times, and will not handle "completely naked" well. Going without pants while wearing a dress will be fine, and if the game sets your clothing to something, you can be assured the game will handle it properly. Now, we can [[start the game!|moon_start]]This is just a placeholder. [[Go back.|Start]]
