RECYCLEDCRAFT: Space Sex Mystery?

PREMISE (example)

You awaken on a train - or a sleek-feeling spacecraft, or a boat, or even a submarine.
The shape of the craft isn't important, or even immediately apparent - but you are here, a sealed, surprisingly comfortable room with a soft bed, whereas before you were home. If home was even where you wanted to be.

"Good morning, passenger," a voice purrs; you can feel a presence with it, but there's no indication anyone is in the room with you.

There is, however, a comfortable weight along your legs, your arms, your spine... something appears ready to keep you here for a while.

What will you do?

CONTEXT

What is this, exactly? This premise is a smut spinoff of a wider continuity - the 'space'craft your character is on has taken your character from their home. It - any and all pronouns are fine, and if you OOCly have a preference just give a heads-up in your starter comment and we'll go from there - has been through quite a time recently, having lost its crew and the programming that initially determined its purpose. (Some data/facts still remain for basic navigation and specialization - see the next entry!) Nor does it remember exactly how it happened, just that something terrible happened and it has to do things more on-its-own now.

But what it can still do is (A) interpret characters' emotions and respond accordingly, (B) provide safe and sturdy transport plus life support and (C) bond intensely with those now tied to it!

This can be for a one-on-one scenario, a group account, or even joint threading if everyone would like to put in the time to sort things out! Can start with the premise above, or can be time-skipped along to where both parties are familiar with one another.

OPTIONS

What kind of 'craft are you on, anyway?
The Ace - originally a sleek fighter craft, this one was made to take to space and the skies with impunity! Very flexible, good at interpreting orders, and still carries echoes of 'tude from its former crew. And now it's focusing all that energy on you. Think you can take it?

Star-Gazer - originally a solo-craft meant for exploration, this 'craft was built to take someone far, and to provide companionship to anchor someone to reality on the way. It's designed to be cozy, and is not meant to be shared. Maybe it remembers another name alongside yours, but it no longer recalls those memories consistently. But perhaps that isn't a bad thing...

Like the Lightning - this was a mercenary's craft, passed along from generation to generation. With acute knowledge of trade routes and meticulously-crafted stealth routines to take shelter on even the most unexpected worlds, its job is to do the job - but it can't do so alone, and that's where you come in. Such a partnership does come with benefits, as a matter of course.

The Lost One* - a missioncraft, badly damaged, better suited for a group than an individual... but it has found someone, and will desperately work to make sure they are safe. Believes very strongly in doing the Just thing, but now it doubts it knows how to determine that anymore. Appears to have lost everything twice over, and has just enough memory to make it very hard to accept things at face value. Befriending this one is the most difficult possibility, but it is doable - if you wish to sincerely try.

*This IS meant to poke fun at myself, to be clear.

GENERAL SCENARIOS

Introductions - Exactly what it says on the tin.
Visiting a World - Can be just shopping, can be a 'risk of getting caught' sort of deal, or you've caught whiff of Adventure. Each 'craft will have different reactions, of course, but fun CAN be had by all!
Voidstorm* - Traveling through one of these tends to have... unique effects. Usually ones that are temporarily bad for one's sanity, but not having to be alone during them is supposed to help. Or it can just make things weirder; you never know! Don't try to break the windows and go outside, though; that's never a good idea.

*I'm not changing what it's called, because I can't think of anything better to call it. To explain 'from the outside': imagine if sex pollen were a space phenomenon you could fly through, and be directly effected mentally/emotionally. Hallucinations, particularly shared hallucinations, are common. Seeing people you love outside and feeling compelled to go out there is also possible. Other possibilities include seeing emotions as aura colors, feeling compelled to speak and act on one's deepest feelings, and not being able to understand other languages.
You can see why sex pollen wouldn't be out of place here, right?

The Star Gazer could sense that shift, that adjustment in what Konoka wanted, even as her cresting pleasure soared through her own circuits and harmonizers.

With a mind-to-mind keening noise, the 'control stick' kept moving. And as before, that pressure returned to occupy Konoka's mouth in a kiss, leaving nothing loose.

I love you, she projected, the raw concept and not the words. I love you!

With all the stimulation, both physical and mental, it doesn't take long for Konoka's pleasure to surge again, even with the constant stimulus keeping her from 'descending' normally. Star Gazer's intimacy allows her to keep going, to push past her limits with safety in place, all while enjoying how absolutely helpless she is in her grasp.

Konoka's affection swells. She sends a pulse of "I love you!" down their mental link to Star Gazer, only to be met with the ship's own affirmation. This combined mental rush was more than enough to send Konoka through a second orgasm.

And perhaps, a bit of a magic spark within her too.

Their mutual affection seared through the Star Gazer's very being, echoing out into voidspace, the fabric of life energy and feeling that was itself fueled by all worlds...

The voidcraft didn't experience any 'whiting out' like a human might, but that sense of completion was slow to fade, leaving her only to luxuriate in it with Konoka.

Her love. Hers. Purring, she snuggled with Konoka through the tether. The augments slowly retreated, and the chair's vibrations ceased, though the 'control stick' and seatbelt remained in place.

Well, Konoka was still vulnerable to 'whiting out', and that's what happened. On the other hand, she did ask for it, in a way.

Konoka's return to consciousness could have been a few seconds or a few minutes, but the first thing she felt was Star Gazer and that pleasant vibration shaking her body. And with the control stick still inside her, this jolt was enough to get an involuntary moan out of her.

Eventually, the vibrations ceased, and Konoka was left alone with Star Gazer. "Ahhh," she sighed. "You really made that something..." She gave a weak show of squirming, just to feel the seatbelt straps a little more.

The Star Gazer relaxed, even as Konoka squirmed, content to feel awash in her passenger's emotional state.

"It wouldn't have happened without you."

Slowly, even almost reluctantly, the 'control stick' pulled out - it would need a good cleaning, now, and that was almost a topic for a sequel session altogether! - though the seatbelt wouldn't disengage until Konoka looked ready to be on her own feet again.

"It appears our choice of chair worked out just right~"

"And I made all the right choices thanks to your help," Konoka graciously replied. "So I say we make quite a pair, don't we?"

It would be a bit before Konoka was actually ready to get loose from the chair. There would be many adventures to come, but for now, she was taking it easy.

The rest of the day - cleaning up, getting some food and water in Konoka, a little more fiddling with the chair and arranging of shopping lists - passed by in a leisurely manner.

Time passed, and the ministry sent their word as they had promised; the previous owner/occupant of the Star Gazer had not been found, and could only be presumed dead. While this was sobering news, it wasn't particularly shocking, and the Star Gazer spared no thought on the 'what if's.

Then there was the bigger mystery behind how all those disturbances had occurred throughout the void in the first place, which the ministry was much more cagey about, saying ultimately that it had become a specific mission team's jurisdiction if a solution was to be found at all.

Which still left quite a great deal of the void to visit, in the end. Either they'd learn personally what the big fuss was about in the meantime, or they'd learn it secondhand.

[[OOC: Giving an IC 'month' or so before the ultimate cause of the void's troubles is discovered, reversed, and explained to our characters (there IS context, but it's happening 'off screen' from our thread, and does not involve the world the Star Gazer is from). In the meantime, we could focus on them landing on another world where Konoka is encouraged to explore/experiment when it comes to her magic? Also putting her further along in her coding lessons/pilot training.]]

At this point, Konoka began to get an understanding that she may not ever purposefully get involved with the source of the void. Maybe it was for the best; she was still not built or trained to handle heavy combat, nor did she have the knowledge of how to reverse whatever dangers were pulling people into the void. She was still a student, a passenger, even though she had learned so much and could even run a few of Star Gazer's features manually.

It was also clear that Konoka was fated to be Star Gazer's captain. That slightly morose day that they confirmed that Star Gazer's old master was likely dead was also the day that Konoka knew she had some big shoes to fill. As such, she'd have to earn it. Admittedly, something more concrete to work towards was a bit easier for her than simply learning to survive (and mentally cope, given how she'd been pulled away from home initially and her previous aspirations more fully).

That was why she was preparing for their landing on a new planet (well, new to her). Compared to the simpler ship lessons, this was an on-field adventure, so Konoka was making sure she was ready for the part.

"So, can you tell me what's going on with this planet we're going to? Environment? The people there? And what we'd be looking for?" Konoka asked. This was no grocery supply run, she had a very specific job to do, and for the first time in a while, she'd be putting her magical strength to work, too!

[[Yeah, that works for me. Since she's working on integrating her magic with what she's learning so far, perhaps she's testing out some integrations with Star Gazer with her magic, or new tools she can use thanks to their bond?]]

"We are approaching 'Eaulei', also known as system 51674 in the Ministry's databases. They have been void aware for the past century, their time, and only recently agreed to join the collection of void-active worlds that the ministry as a whole is cleared to interact with. They are most known for offering places to relax for void travelers, though some of these areas also have documented mental fortification and magical training properties."

This explanation was factual, but a touch more pleasure seeped in as she added, "They also run training contests, and since there is nothing in their documentation to disqualify someone based on their status relating to a voidcraft, I intend for us to place in one of these contests, Konoka!"

The Star Gazer queued up some video feeds on Konoka's SCA; apparently Eaulei had records of previous contests available on their public-facing internet. If there had been such a thing as magical-girl contests on Earth (albeit focusing more on skill and adaptability than appearance), then there would be a direct corollary Konoka could draw.

The inhabitants, at least, looked like any humans Konoka had seen at home.

"We'll have to visit the training facilities and peruse the resources on offer before registering, but there are no long lines when it comes to finding a good spot."

"Eaulei..." It was a bit of a struggle for Konoka to pronounce. But she was about to land on the planet, so she pronounced it a few more times just to be sure it would leave her tongue smoothly.

She blinked when she realized that there were training contests. And looking at them?

"Oh, these are neat! Is this a promotion for their training facilities, or their school?" Konoka asked. Now interested in this culture that seemed to promote magic that was so similar and yet so different than the Earth she knew, Konoka couldn't help but feel interested. "Sign me up! I mean, after we take a good look!"

"Of a sort - they record the contests," the Star Gazer explained, locking in on one of the allotted docking zones on the planet.

"I'll bring up the map for where we are landing - now would be a good time to peruse the rules, as well."

Nothing too overly questionable was on them, but it was always a good idea to get a second pair of eyes and opinions in the mix.

"Good," Konoka quickly scrolled over the map, for a general sense of where they were, as well as a more focused look at what Eaulei had in store for them.

Eaulei had a lot of plant-life that could be best described as "mossy". It covered much of the rather hilly land around them, and even some buildings seemed to integrate the plant life into their floor plans, even the multistory buildings! As a result, just hopping outside made the world smell... fresh.

Konoka was almost eager to just run around outside for a bit, but she didn't forget the rules to look over for the contest. "So help me understand... these contests are about finesse, aren't they? Is there somethin' in particular we're meant to demonstrate with our magic?"

[[OOC: Should we incorporate 'relaxing and/or arousal-inducing pollen' into a spa scene? Up to you.]]

"They are, in a way, about showing off - in terms of accuracy of aim, degree of control, or even how much of an 'area of effect' you can sustain without undue stress - so it is mostly limited by your own creativity."

'No hurting people in the audience' was the gist of a fair few of the rules, admittedly, whether it be due to accident or a deliberate/staged part of an act.

"Being able to relax does make pushing one's limits easier, however - which is why much of the planet open for public access comes across as a kind of resort."

"Uh huh~" Konoka nodded in understanding. Not harming others made sense, obviously. But she was starting to form an idea of what this contest was actually looking for. The question then became 'how did she prepare?'.

"So to put it simply, it's like a magic talent show?" Konoka asked. "So we'd have to figure out how to display our talents! So what's our timeline look like? How long do we have before the competition starts, or is due?"

Konoka had a few talents with magic, but how to put it to use...

[[Sure, that works!]]

"Contests are held every two weeks, accounting for calendar differences," the Star Gazer replied.

"Making the next one in three days; rest assured we do not have to aim for that window."

Konoka could have time enough to put together several shows of her own design; the Star Gazer had quite a bit of faith in her creativity!

[[Great! And we can timeskip through however much or little of the training minutiae you wish, as well.]]

"In that case we have, mmmmmm... seventeen days to cook something up?" Konoka calculated the length in her head. "Yeah, I think I can do that."

She gave a light smile. "Though you mention relaxing would help bring out my potential? Since we just got here, how about we check out those places?"

The Star Gazer's happiness broadcasted down the link, as well as her eagerness for what Konoka could think up.

"Here, I'll highlight them on the map."

There were several within walking distance - some emphasizing the mossy flora of the planet, others hot springs, others still with more innovative relaxation methods.

"If any of them ask you for ID, just offer your SCA and it will be compatible with their systems."

Though this, Konoka knew from previous planet trips.

"You may want to bring a spare outfit to change into, as well."

Just in case.

"Let's go, then!"

She'd been taking showers during the time she'd woken up on Star Gazer, and honestly, she missed a bath. The desire to go soak was immense. She picked up a change of clothes and made her way towards one indicated on the ship's map.

Eaulei's concept of public baths was remarkably similar to the ones at home, though it seemed the concept expanded past just being a public bath. At least one was situated into an entire botanical garden, including a privatized path that 'bathing patrons' could use to tour around, alongside a sauna. It was this bath that Konoka went to.

After showing her ID, Konoka stored her clothes away in a locker. Draped only in a towel, she freely went to clean herself off.

The good news that went with there being so many options was the lack of crowds - though the place was far from empty, if Konoka found her eyes wandering.

Still, the Star Gazer herself continued to be present as well, through the tether, even as she waited patiently for Konoka to settle in.

There were instructions for specific features - but others, like the sauna, came with no instruction (apart from safety tips; hydration was quite important on this planet, after all!)

There was also quite an assortment of plants, grouped by fragrance or lack-thereof (for sensory-conscientious visitors), and some of the springs were specifically situated for patrons to more directly sample and benefit from their presence.

Her eyes did indeed wonder: while she did talk with people, there were more days where she talked with Star Gazer instead. And while she preferred Star Gazer's company, Konoka did have days where she wanted to talk more with others.

At least, wandering here within the botanical baths, the few people she'd seen were girls her age--maybe they were just getting out of late classes--and that meant if she wound up getting someone's attention it was less likely to turn awkward.

She first started with getting her hair clean, though the shower heads were a little tricky to find, it wasn't too difficult to ultimately use them after she had successfully shampooed herself.

Now that she had done the cleaning part, Konoka could also easily feel comfortable taking the tour. Even though she was wearing very little, the path was comfortable, even to her bare feet! And everything smelled nice! She bent over to smell a particularly strong fragrance. "Gosh, what's this?" Konoka asked, perhaps unaware if she might be giving someone a full view.

There were definitely a few people staring - but Konoka wasn't getting that many more stares just for being new.

"They call this one 'Aurabloom'!" one of the girls spoke up - a well-muscled blonde teen with strong cheek lines.

"You can carry some of the sprigs around, as long as you keep them in clear view," another noted from further back. This one had a pin on her robe, indicating that she was working as staff, a volunteer to judge by her (visibly still young) age.

The plant itself had a very prominent, multicolored bloom befitting its name; if one stared at it too long, it was hard to look away or get the pattern out of one's mind.

Kind of like the void, but without the headache potential!

Edited 2023-08-30 22:36 (UTC)

"Aurabloom, huh?" Konoka rose to look at the girl who talked to her. A tall blonde, well muscled and in shape, had caught her eye. Given she was wearing about as much as Konoka herself, there was just enough to her imagination that she actually felt a little... intrigued.

Indeed though, she took out a sprig to look more closely, and the colors were indeed hypnotic. "Does this bloom all over, or is it something special to this particular region?" Konoka asked. She'd barely had the thing for a minute and those colors were already sticking to her mind!

[[Maybe that hypnotic effect hits a little harder than Konoka expects so she's more suggestive. Maybe a lot of handsy groping and teasing, and getting naked is just a "consequence". Either way Konoka being lightly masochistic is on the table and it remains consensual, even if she's not quite in control here.]]

[[Works for me! Sticking to the one girl for now and letting the guide go on her way; let me know if you want others to join in too!]]

"It's pretty well all-over, but it grows in clumps instead of being truly widespread. This is one of the clusters that grew here naturally!" the volunteer elaborated cheerfully.

"There've been some plants that make pretty neat noises when the wind comes through, too," the blonde added, her gaze still on Konoka (and perhaps the flower itself).

"Wanna come with me? I still haven't seen everything; it'd be nice to have a partner!"

She winked. "Call me Mary."

"Oh, really?" Konoka hadn't heard of plants that made music when wind blew through them (and if they existed on Earth, she never looked it up). "Tell me more!" With a native who was also learning, Konoka already found herself interested. This might be the first time she's been able to actually talk with someone.

"I'm Konoka. Nice to meet you!" The void-traveler smiled at the taller native, though the plant still gleamed within her vision. "I'm a traveler of sorts, and I'm new to the planet-hopping thing, relatively speaking. It's nice to take a little more time traveling and actually meet people."

She would meander down a path, mostly matching whatever pace Mary took.

[[Works for me. You can add one more down the line, but for now it'll be just these two.]]

There was a moment where they both waved the volunteer goodbye (and the volunteer herself gladly waved back), and then their own personal tour began.

There were a fair few pollinating birds near this spa, but the further they walked, the more clearly Konoka would begin to hear a different noise.

Almost more a resonance, something felt than heard; like the Aurabloom, the flower Mary had mentioned had a spark of something special within it.

Mary, meanwhile, was talking a mile a minute; like Konoka, she was here for the contests - a third-generation participant, she was still learning about the void, her homeworld's growing relationship with the wider ministry, and she considered physical therapy to be her passion.

"-But here we are, Konoka; don't you think they look like windchimes?"

And they kind of did, though they were still clearly plants. These blooms were like mini tubes in groups of three, glowing with a subdued inner green-blue light. They gently opened and closed in a rhythm, and the sound they made was a result of this cycle. Like the Aurabloom, these had the ability to fill one's mind, and leave one increasingly relaxed.
