18+ Private Western Brisshal Tracking the UI-locked Pervert?

Cleo Looker · Jul 16, 2022

Tracking down the UI locked players was a pretty difficult task. Some had changed their names, or been driven into being reclusive, or just weren't interested in seeing the people that they'd said goodbye to. Meeting with Hanno had been a major help, though she was still trying to mark off some of the names that he'd marked off, wanting to verify for herself which ones were still around, alive and kicking.

And so her search had led her here, in search of Kaede Hoshi, having followed rumors that the woman could be found at some kind of clinic, though there she'd found a note on the door telling her that she needed to whistle, since thge owner of the note was apparently out gathering herbs. Cleo sighed, rubbing her forehead in frustration, before sighing as she whistled out for whatever reason. Something called Totetsu would lead her back, apparently. Whenever this thing showed up, Cleo would follow it.

Kaede did not so much hear the whistling as she more so saw the sudden head on a swivel puppy looking back towards the clinic then to Kaede and back, and forth. Waving a hand as the hound enlarged to the size of a bear and rushed off to go get the treat task finished while Kaede adjusted herself and cleaned up a best she could to not look like she just got out of bed and went into the forest like she had in-fact done. Only a minute or so the massive Lunatic hound would slide from the side of the clinic and look at the girl who had whistled with a bark.

If she started to move closer Totetsu would shrink down slightly before rushing off and every so often looking back to make sure the girl was still following and eventually lead to where Kaede was as she clipped another flower and restored the stem with a bud before moving to sort the small basket she kept on her into the four large ones looking over at the new arrival with a small smile. Totetsu nudging Cleo's hands as if searching for the treat it was expecting.

"She won't stop until she gets one... if you forgot there should be one in my bag's front pocket but try not to let her see it or I'll find my bag torn apart again..."

Kaede spoke as she seemed more focus on her work at the moment, not yet taking in just who was there half expecting it to be a random townsfolk asking her to deal with some goblin or gnolls or something again when she kept trying to tell them all she was done with fighting until Astor called in his favor and in that case done for good with only the most dire call dragging her out from living a peaceful life. Moving her hair as she finished sorting and got her first focused look at the individual, why did the cute girls always show up when she was dirty from being in the forest and not when she was bathing in the river!

The approach of a large dog, the size of a bear, took Cleo off guard, though when it began to actually lead her to the person that she had intended to see, she figured out quickly that this thing, somehow, was somebody's trained pet. How on earth this person had managed to get a pet this size and keep it was another question indeed, though she supposed that there were people even in the real world that tried to keep actual bears, lions and tigers as pets. Most of them usually didn't turn out so great in the end, but this thing seemed relatively nice.

Even if it was nudging her hands. That was when the woman spoke up, mentioning the treat that Cleo had forgotten to take, though she offered a solution in the same breath. Cleo made her way over to the bag, retrieving a treat sneakily and then offering it to the dog...bear...thing. Either way, it seemed to satisfy the creature, which moved on enough for Cleo to catch her breath and turn to the woman, who seemed a bit dirty. Field work. Pretty honest.

Thanks for the help there. You're the person that owns the clinic, right?

She offered a friendly smile.

I can come back at a better time for you, if this would be a bother, or if you'd like a minute to freshen up. You can just shout for me when you're ready. My name is Cleo, by the way.

Kaede would nod 'yes' in reply to owning the clinic before waving the notion of having to freshen up off as she resumed working while speaking to the stranger in a playful tone.

"Pay it no mind, I have work to do and as do you, so what brings you to search for someone such as myself? Judging by your tone and actions your not a lander trying to hire me to fight something, or things to that nature so likely a player also. I'm Kaede, though likely anyone who pointed you towards the clinic called me Pervert witch, Doom and gloom witch, or black witch."

Kaede mused the nicknames off as she knelt down to resume gathering supplies. She wanted to try and make a move on this Cleo woman, but she had work to do first and also wanted to try and control her urges better. Totetsu rushing off to chase a rabbit as Kaede sighed and made a mental note of the runes on the hound's fur to track and ensure it did not go near the hostile area of the forest and break the treaty Kaede had with a few things in the area by accident.

"Maybe you came to have a amazing time in bed? or maybe your here to claim your desire to join a harem?~ Or or, ... You want to experience first time with someone who has plenty of experience?~"

Kaede allowed her inner voice to chime as she worked, she refused to think it was something more serious like Astor calling his favor as the man had gone AWOL as far as Kaede knew and maybe rolled off a cliff part of her hoped. Mostly because she hated he once held the rank of king of the players when she had no vote in such, but such was the past and before the kingdom he build was leveled by a falling airship. Either way once her basket was full again she would move back to the middle to sort it based on what it would be used for and looked to Cleo again admiring her frame and partly thinking just what was beneath.

Well that certainly was a handful of unfortunate nicknames, though Cleo shook her head instead, chuckling at the idea of somebody being known as a 'pervert witch'. The 'doom and gloom' witch definitely sounded a lot more like a bad nickname, though. Had Kaede embraced that kind of name and embraced some kind of bad reputation or something?

Ah, well actually I was just here in search of Kaede Hoshi, not any of these various witches that you've described. Though you're correct in your assumption that I'm a player and not any of this place's locals looking to hire you about anything.

She stood around, watching the woman go back to her work, picking herbs or something if Cleo had to guess. It made sense if she ran a clinic, probably used some actual medicines, or maybe utilized them alongside a mastery that she'd taken when she was still a player and wasn't UI-locked. Though, the talk about joining Kaede in bed was wholly unexpected. Maybe it shouldn't have been, considering that the woman had just referred to herself as a pervert without any kind of shame. It had Cleo clearing her throat.

I think I'll sample some of your generous hospitality another time. I'm actually just here mostly to meet you and to make sure that you're still alive.

"Well I seem to be alive, though the best way in my mind to check that is to force a heavy emotion from someone.~"

Kaede mused as she set the last of her basket into the containers and moved to the next area. There was little she could think of that was not indecent as she was simply asked if she was still alive and had addressed the matter. That said though she would not stop from having some fun while getting company during the usual second most boring part of her work only beaten by the actually process of mixing and making the medicine without music or outside stimulation.

"On the serious note, I am still alive much to many trying to make such not true. Though hard to say I'm fully alive since I'm not living how i normally would and have not had a good shower in over four years... Waterfalls and soap only get so much without hot water or shampoos and such..."

Kaede cut a plant she did not plan to out of frustration, why did nobody that was trapped in the game know how to make shampoo, or those who had come before try to market it in this world. Grumbling as she undid the damage to nature she caused and kept working. There was honestly a lot of things she felt would make her feel more alive, but right now all she could focus on was personal hygiene since she was near another woman and a sexy one at that.

Deciding to set down her basket where she was working at along with her tools as she walked to give Cleo her full attention. Hand reaching out as dirt, mud, and such vanished while her unoffered hand reset time to before she was messing around outside and was 'mostly' cleaned up. Her hair returning to a mess of bed hair in the process but unaware of such at the time as she would try to pull Cleo's hand if she took the handshake to kiss the back of it and pull her closer to whisper in her ear.

"If you want a more refined check of my mortality within this game I will have to ask for something in return for someone as lovely as yourself.~"

Cleo honestly had no clue what it meant to force a heavy emotion out of somebody, though she wasn't about to go and try to intentionally piss somebody off just to find out if they were alive. Honestly, seeing Kaede alive and standing right in front of her was basically good enough, if she wasn't at least slightly interested in learning how a UI-locked veteran had been living for the last four years whilst the rest of their player companions had been locked out of the game.

I can understand how the lack of modern hygiene products and the like would probably make life a lot less comfortable, but you seem to be thriving pretty decently, at least. It's not unimpressive. You have this whole place to yourself and you run a clinic.

That said, she was almost ready to just turn around and leave, after bidding Kaede something of a polite goodbye of course, but then she watched Kaede using something that Cleo recognized as Chronomancy to make it so that she had never gotten dirty, before saying something that Cleo couldn't help but be intrigued by, no matter how odd it sounded.

What is a more refined check? And what sort of thing would you have me pay in return for it?

"Oh I don't have it all to myself, I own the clinic and some buildings a lander left me when they passed... The forest area anyone can come and get things from hence why I don't leave it bare when I gather or repair if I see it in such states so the next person does not have to go far off the paths to find things."

Kaede would chime as she spun the stranger around a little before returning to be face to face and well within the woman's personal space as she spoke up about the questions.

"Is it that hard to think what a pervert means by 'refined check of mortality?' If I need to spell it out I undress I'd ask the same from you or it's just nerve racking to be judged one-sided and leave the other person to mentally imagine the other.~"

She would whisper her words into the girls ear again, hands playfully lining the woman's cloths and in some spot pulling them away from her skin before a giggle and moving away to get a better look at the girl's reaction. There was several reason people left Kaede alone these past two years with her sanity returned and drinking stopped, and before that people did not want to get caught in the crossfire of the witch. Either way Kaede would whistle for Totetsu to return and hook things back to the hound as she started to follow the path deeper into the woods.

"Not sure if you have other things to do, but if you would like to keep chatting I do need to split some of my focus to avoid getting to handsy with you. Last thing you likely want is some stranger trying to make out and strip you in the woods... I'd be fine as long as they a woman and cute, or very few men thinking about it... But mostly lean to women nowadays so..."

Rambling some as she walked alongside Totetsu leaving some room as best they could if Cleo wanted to follow them to the next patch of herbs and flowers along the route they had made over the past four years. Sure there was spots along the routes with one or another of the things they needed but Kaede rather enjoyed getting most of them together and not wading into the forest and getting branches and such stuck in her cloths or hair.

Ah, well I suppose it was an easy mistake for me to make, assuming that you owned all of it. Still, it's nice to see you replanting the things that you pick, so that other people can come and pick things later. That's a very responsible and mature way of doing this kind of thing. I'm reminded of allotments and that sort of thing, actually.

Though she'd never had one herself, or really been much of a gardener at all, so she'd never even planted any seeds before, aside from maybe a few times in school, a very, very long time ago now. Though more importantly than the trip down memory lane, was the implications that Kaede was making.

Ah, well uh, rest assured that I don't think I'd ever have a reason to ask you to undress for me. I'm not a doctor or anything, so I wouldn't be able to assess anything anyway.

Kaede was FAR too close for comfort though. Cleo backpeddled, though fixing the clothes that Kaede had been toying with and pulling away, red creeping into her cheeks as she huffed. She did follow after the woman to continue their conversation, though.

Are you always so forward with people?

Kaede could only tip her head as she thought it over. People kept asking if she was always this forward but to the elf this was holding back. She still recalled the time she made out with a super cute beast folk right away and tried to undress her in the middle of a bar without a care in the world. A small laugh recalling the old memory before she decided to reply to the question honestly.

"Oh that was holding back, if I was being forward one or both of us would be naked already.~ And you don't need to be a doctor to ask me to undress just have to ask and I likely would if we alone or if your willing to undress also public is fine.~"

Kaede turned and spoke while walking backwards so she could see the girl get flustered some more if there was a chance of it. She knew the area well enough to take longer steps to avoid outgrown roots, or where to turn to avoid walking into bushes or a tree. That and Totetsu was her guide so when the dog moved she would also to match it. Humming as she arrived at the next clearing and once more unhooked the baskets from Totetsu who rush to play right after.

"Sometimes I wonder how that hound ever takes things serious or knows when they are allowed to play as they don't focus for much of anything...~ Anyways, what else would you like to talk about then Cleo darling or are you more interested in more intimate things now that I've shown interest in them with you also?~"

Kaede teased the woman more as she knelt down at some flowers and went to work gathering again. She figured eventually she would stop teasing the woman if she was not so inclined to indulge her in such activities at a later time. The elf could only assume someone of her status was already spoken for as no single woman would likely dare come see someone everyone had called a pervert. Humming as she worked and could only wonder if Cleo was strait or otherwise to entertain herself.

Wow, okay. This woman was REALLY forward, admitting that there would be nudity if she was being more forward. It had the redhead coughing into her hand at the sudden shock of the words that were being spoken to her by the elf, her face filling with red in embarrassment, even though there were only the two of them here. Kaede was really laying it on thick, wasn't she? There was absolutely no shame that she could detect in those eyes, or any inch of the woman's body.

Not that she was looking, of course!

You really are quite the open and free person, aren't you? Quite the risk taker too, it seems.

She watched as the woman walked backwards, following along. It was a risk to walk backwards, but it did mean that they could have a conversation whilst actually making eye contact and being able to see each other, which did make it easier for Cleo to assess the woman's body language and figure out if the flirting was genuine or fake. It helped that Kaede, for all her perverted words, was actually quite easy on the eyes. Maybe all of this stuff was how Kaede had taken to coping with the fact that she had died?

So I have to ask, is the interest in certain...things...with me just a method of deflection, or are you being serious?

[ 100/100 ] SP

"Oh?~ Whatever would I be trying to deflect to this much of forwardness?~ Should I show you just how far I'd go if you asked me?~"

Kaede stopped her work to move towards Cleo as fast as she could, doing all she could to route and pin Cleo to a tree, reaching to take the woman's hands and hold them over her head with a wide smile and light blush. Her own face moving to Cleo's before moving to kiss her neck and lick toward her chin as she pulled part of her own cloths down just slightly before speaking again.

"When it comes to women such as yourself, shy and attractive gets my heart racing. The curse of being an elf is higher then normal emotions... And I had that before getting locked within so you can only imagine how hard it is to hold back... How badly I want to see and hear every side of you.~ Even if it means doing it in a place others might stumble across us.~"

Kaede would release Cleo's hands had she been allowed to get the woman in such a position. Her expression was both lustful and eager, but her eyes showed this was not the whole truth if the woman could read them before Kaede moved back to her work. She wanted to distract herself from the darker thoughts, how part of her mind wanted to see Cleo screaming in pain or suffering. She was not just a heightened pervert, but her sadistic side was also overdrive.

"Course it also spiked other emotions so please don't carelessly crush my heart by saying you hate a woman so open like me, or i just might run away crying.~"

NOW she was deflecting as she cut her hand slightly and kept working unaware of the matter even as blood dripped into her basket or on the flowers she was working with. Humming as she moved to sort the items and would only then notice she was bleeding if Cleo did not point it out. A light sigh as she wrapped the wound knowing it had passed the ten minute window of her ability to turn time back on it. Yet another scar and time she would need to spend sewing her glove back together when she was back home.

All of a sudden the woman was approaching her, switching actions in a way that had Cleo backpeddaling in panic, until her back was pressed against a tree, beads of sweat forming on her brow as Kaede grabbed her hands and held them above her head, before leaning forward to kiss the lancer's neck, making Cleo gasp and blush. She hadn't detected any kind of aggressive action, so she'd not even thought of defending herself. And now here she was, with a woman pinning her to a tree and kissing at her neck, licking it.

Her breath hitched and increased in intensity and pace as the woman spoke of the struggles of being an Elf, the heightened emotions, which had almost definitely not helped the woman's mental space when she'd been locked inside of the game. The woman's words made the agent blush, even as her eyes scanned for the truth in Kaede's eyes and only found part of it, knowing that there was something that Kaede was holding back from telling her. Though she had no clue with which to tell what that full truth was.

I...don't hate that kind of forwardness in a woman, no. I don't hate that kind of woman.

She said it to spare Kaede's heart, though it was also the truth, so it was easy to speak. Though her trained eyes quickly caught sight of Kaede's hand, bleeding. She sighed, reaching out to grab the woman's hand, before reversing the wound with her own Chronomancy spell until it had faded.

You hurt yourself. You need to be a little more careful.

Cleo blushed, releasing Kaede's hand once it had been healed. Being pinned against that tree had almost made her heart stop. In a weirdly good way.

Kaede watched Cleo mend her hand, partly unsure when she got hurt but when the girl tried to move her hands away Kaede would not allow it without a fight. Moving to try and once again pin Cleo, this time to the grass as she moved to lick the girl's hand clean of her blood. Humming as she would press against Cleo's side before letting the girl go once more and licking her lips before she would speak.

"I'm fin getting hurt if it makes cute girls worry about me.~ But do try to keep your guard up Cleo darling or I'll be taking clothing off the next time and after that I won't stop at just one.~"

Playfully humming as she moved to resume her work and sorted the small basket into the larger ones leaving Cleo to either calm down or wonder if such a thing was a bad idea. Kaede was not against it, and she clearly was interested but was just waiting for permission at this point it seemed to go beyond hard teasing or actions. That said though she was also a tad aggressive when she had licked Cleo's hand, nibbling at times to hint she was devious as much as she was lustful in the moment.

Spinning back to Cleo as she grinned and skipped over to the next area to gather from while cleaning her tool of her blood with her tongue and giggling all the while. She was having to much with someone who was not telling her no or trying to escape from her like others. She hated it but loved it all the same as she worked and this time kept her hands free of injury as a sign she could focus on her work and play at the same time to Cleo, but she also left herself wide open wondering if Cleo had it in her to get some payback or try.~

And again, there was another surge of movement, before she was laid back in the grass with Kaede pressed to her side, licking her hands clean as Cleo's eyes flew wide open in shock, red creeping across her entire face as she realized what a poor decision it was to lower her guard around this woman for even a single fraction of a moment. It only took a moment, but once that moment was over and Kaede let go of her, Cleo laid there, practically steaming from her head, her face was so hot and red.

Ah, um, well I suppose if next time you manage to catch me off guard, I'll deserve to have some clothing taken, after being given that kind of warning.

She fought hard to keep her voice from being an embarrassed squeak, not wanting to come across as some inexperienced, shy schoolgirl. She could deal with this. It was fine. Far more forward than any other living creature she'd ever encountered in her entire life, but it was far from being impossible to manage and deal with. She just had to remain confident and keep her guard up.

Though with that, Kaede skipped off to gather more things whilst Cleo climbed to her feet, grunting and groaning as her knees and legs popped. It crossed her mind that she could get her own back against the woman, but she had no clue how. It certainly wouldn't be appropriate to do so and she was working now.

But nobody would ever know...

She walked up behind Kaede, before pressing a kiss to the back of the woman's neck, then leaping backwards to avoid retaliation.

It's only fair that if you got to taste my neck, I should get to taste yours and see what the big deal about neck tasting is.

No such retaliation was made, Jus a playful laugh as she stopped her work to look over and smile before going back to her work. To be fair she did not even feel like that was much to be bothered about, Humming to herself as she noticed something new in the patch and moved over to it. She did not have her UI to get a easy look at it but moving to her bag to skim over some notes she found out maybe what it could be and only laughed as she dug it from the ground like you would a delicate flower and place it in a jar with the same soil.

"Wonder what this hybrid of magic and nature will amount to.~ Maybe a speed healing potion will be on the table for once... course mass growth of it is likely not possible since these flowers take the longest to grow... Less I set up a chrono cycle chamber..."

Kaede's mind clicked as she kept looking over the plant to try and figure out more about it without disrupting it anymore then she already had. Mumbling a little to herself before she set it in the side pocket of her bag so it could get sunlight and resumed work as if nothing had happen. She had something interesting to experiment with later but right now she had more focus on the herbs and trying to see how bold Cleo would get as she kept her defense down and tauntingly swayed her frame while working.

"So, what sort of work do you get up to then Cleo? If I had to guess far as in game goes you got asked to check on the UI locked but you said that already if I recall. But aside from that likely a knight of some kind perhaps?~"

It seemed that her attempt to tease Kaede back hadn't been much of a success, though that was fine mostly. Cleo was just happy that she'd managed to make the attempt, though she was starting to wonder if the different people she'd been meeting were having a bad influence on her. She'd never been quite this forward or open before she'd met Vina and she'd never known somebody to flirt as often and unflinchingly as Kaede seeemd to.

Though Kaede seemed to be focused on her work picking plants and flowers anyway, placing one in a jar and muttering about what she would do with it, apparently brewing some kind of potion or something like that. Cleo wasn't exactly an expert, or knowledgeable at all about those things, so she decided to just keep her mouth closed on that topic. As for what work she did, she almost shrugged, before realizing that Kaede wasn't looking at her.

And why was she swaying like that..?

I do some work with the Lion Arms, but I don't know that I'd really call myself a knight, by any means. I'm just trying to help others.

She smiled, before approaching Kaede from behind, placing her hands on the woman's shoulders and rubbing them soothingly.

Kaede was a little sad, she was leaving herself open, teasing and all she got for her trouble was a shoulder massage in retaliation for all she had pulled. Sighing internally as she stopped waving around and just focused on her work with a little bit of annoyance and disappointment in her posture and motions. Hearing the replies a little later in her mind she could only sigh out loud and moved to face Cleo with a devious grin.

"Then help me undress you?~ I'm kidding, maybe?~"

Kaede chuckled as she moved back to her work, to be fair she was more inclined to stop teasing at this point. She gathered roughly that Cleo was fun to tease, did not seem to have the same desire for further fun and she was not going to force or do such one sided to someone who was just trying to be a good person to one who suffered at the hands of the game. Moving to add to the large baskets while calling for Totetsu to move to the last spot on her list before she could take a break.

"In all serious I'll stop teasing you. Clearly you don't swing from the same team or both and I can respect that sort of commitment. That said, sorry for getting you flustered so much up to this point. Rather live and do as first comes to mind, then think and miss my chances worrying if they feel the same or if it would be wise to do it."

Kaede spoke as she rigged Totetsu back up and started to move along the trail again much more proper and focused on her work. She would not hum or really focus on much else other then any conversation or her work. She was in neutral and that was just how she was in this mode. Mumbling about the new flower some more as her guard rose back to normal and she fully locked into work mode once more like she had been before Cleo arrived.

Cleo blinked, the sudden switch up confusing her, until Kaede got serious and made a few assumptions that just weren't true. It seemed that somehow she'd managed to lose Kaede's interest, or something? Honestly, the agent wasn't really sure what was happening, but somehow Kaede had come to the conclusion that she didn't like women or something. Cleo swallowed, half wanting to just leave things as they were, but the other half didn't like leaving lies and falsities exist in the world, especially ones that had to do about herself.

So as Kaede rigged Totetsu up and began to walk and move again, looking far more serious, like the moment that Cleo had first laid eyes on her, the lancer cleared her throat to try and dispel the awkward air that had filled the space between them.

Uh, right. Look, I think you've made something of an assumption there, for some reason. But I'm actually bisexual, I like guys and girls. And you're more than fetching enough, so I wouldn't feel bad about making the attempt, if I were you.
