A few days have passed since the Great Shellie Escape. Gamer and the group would have left sooner, however, Asterion's schedule did not permit it. His real world work shifts would leave him unavailable for three days straight. Persica and Gamer agreed Asterion's power would benefit them, and thus would wait for his return.
Persica spent this time organizing a small brigade of yosauri to join the journey. With their boat gone, it meant they were stuck with land travel. She knew not what Gamer and Minnie busied themselves with, but she was too overloaded with work to check. They didn't cause problems, and that sufficed.
While packing coins into small chests in the foyer, Persica heard yelps from outside the front doors. When she checked on the commotion, she found Asterion materialized out of pixels again and scared some of the shroomans.
"Good morning, Princess Persica," Asterion greeted with a new look. A thick mane of dark fur surrounded his head, neck, and shoulders. The thickness made his horns look smaller, but its mass gave him a bulkier appearance. His scarf was missing entirely.
"Good morning, gentleman bull. Your apparel is...quite different," Persica examined him. The mane gave Asterion an afro, essentially.
"Alternate skin. A staple in games with large character rosters, like fighting games," Asterion used a comb to fluff up his mane. "This is my buffalo skin."
"You said words, but I fail to understand. I suspect it is important in your land."
"Sure," Asterion didn't see the point in explaining things to an NPC. Thus, he asked, "Where's Gamer?"
"In his room. Minnie will show you there. Once you have retrieved him, meet us outside the castle perimeter in the front," Persica said. The princess used her network of subordinates to track Minnie down. Asterion followed the little guys and found Minnie next to a fountain in the courtyard.
The fountain was being constructed with stone blocks, but Minnie found it a perfect place to sunbathe. When Asterion approached the topless shellie, it reminded him of their first meeting, "Hello, Minnie."
Minnie peeled her eyes open, having been in a comfy nap. She perked up immediately, "Hi, Asterion! Nice haircut!"
"Thanks. You have a nice tan going on," Asterion admired the shellie's body. "Are you an exhibitionist, by any chance?"
"A what?"
"Hah, never mind."
Minnie patted her skin. The sting was slight, but the results were perfect. She put on her tank top, white side out, and hopped from the fountain, "We've been anticipating your return. This is so exciting!"
"Yeah, Princess Persica said you could take me to Gamer."
"Sure thing! Follow me!"
Minnie and Asterion scaled the castle to the top floor. The minotaur took time to appreciate the beauty of the castle. The first time here, the layout was a blur due to the chase. The boss room red door had been repaired since last time. As they approached, Asterion asked, "What have you guys been up to since my last visit?"
"We've focused on the important points. Preparations, sex, sleeping, food, bathing, and sex," Minnie listed off.
"I guess that's one way of keeping up one's cardio," Asterion couldn't argue. They arrived at the door and Asterion was the one to grab the doorknob, "Well, I have no worries. Gamer's proven his worth when it comes to being ready."
Asterion opened the door. Gamer sat on the edge of the bed, nude, hands hooked under his knees, as he wildly gave himself a blowjob. Dude grooved like an accordion. The gurgling and slurping were the most violent things Asterion ever heard. The minotaur quickly closed the door. It was a brief glimpse, but so much had been seen.
"Was he..." Asterion, embarrassed, looked inquisitively at Minnie.
"I think he..." Minnie, embarrassed, returned the bewildered expression.
Asterion opened the door again. Gamer walked towards them, fully dressed, and no sign of sexual activity. He greeted them with his usual cadence, "What's up?"
Asterion blinked hard, and nodded without question, "Right, we're ready when you are."
Gamer asked about Asterion's new form, and the minotaur gave the same response as he gave to Persica. Gamer wondered if he could change his outfit, as a t-shirt and jeans were becoming boring. He messaged his sister, "Hey, are you there, Samira?"
|˶˙ᵕ˙ )ﾉﾞHeard! I'm playing Coochie Clicker, but I'm here!" Samira responded.
"Do I – oh, nice, I like that one – do I have access to character customization?" Gamer searched his inventory screen. His inventory didn't have any clothing or armor slots.
"Nope, that one's a bit tricky with your situation. But don't crash out, I low key might have a solution. I'll fiddle with the code and see which one of my crackdowns work. I'll slide in your DMs when I lock it down. K?"
"Yeah, sounds good. Character customization sounds fun. It'll help keep monotony away," Gamer gave the thumbs up. Samira returned the same ദ്ദി( °ヮ° )
Princess Persica awaited the trio beyond the courtyard and the makeshift village the shroomans made for themselves. The buildings were designed after the hut Persica hid away in. The shroomans almost had a place to properly live again.
Persica had changed outfits since Asterion arrived. She wore a stunning, white dress with thin wraps that covered the most private parts of her body and little else. Gold adorned the trim, made up most of the belt, and squeezed her neck as a high-end choker. Persica's dreads dominated one side of her head, while the rest of her hair was brushed to the other side in a neat braid. Her bare feet touched grass, and each time the wind blew the dress aside and exposed them, Samira sent *sniff* ('⧝｀) *sniff*
Persica slightly bowed, "I was inspired to change up my own attire. I thank you, Asterion."
"You look heavenly. The peploi is a good choice, though your version would make even Aphrodite gawk," Asterion admired.
"Peploi?" Gamer didn't recognize the word.
"A type of Greek dress, mostly associated with goddesses. I have Greek in my heritage, so I love this kind of thing."
"Where do you get your clothes from?" Gamer doubted Chanterelle had their own fantasy Greece.
"A friend of mine from the land of angels," Persica explained. She lamented while staring at the skies, "All of my friends bring me many gifts when they visit. Clothes from their origins are some of my favorites, such as this dress."
"I hope we meet these friends some day. Especially that spacefaring friend of yours. Different places, different challenges," Gamer yearned for more danger.
"On Sam's time, I'm afraid. For now, let us focus on local obstacles," Persica clapped her hands. The main shrooman and his ilk guided over the yosauri. Minnie received a yellow one, and a red one stepped in front of Gamer. Two pink yosauri drew a gummi carriage over to Persica, who promptly stepped up *sniff* ('⧝｀) *sniff* to the coach's seat. Asterion didn't have a ride, but Persica said, "They are bringing you a special yosaurus. Due to your stature, we needed one that wouldn't be crushed by your weight."
"Dude, she called you fat!" Gamer loudly whispered. Asterion poked his impressive, thick abdominals and just shrugged.
After the normal-sized people mounted their yosauri, shroomans brought Asterion his. The yosaurus was green and bigger in both height and weight. His overweight frame could be felt with every step. When he reached Asterion, the fat yosaurus needed to sit down, which only made it look thicker.
"OMG!! Chungus! (◕ε◕*) i looooove it!!"
"Quite the portly fellow. Welcome to the team," Asterion approved. He mounted his yosaurus, and the heckin' chonker lifted the minotaur, "Good job, buddy. Wanna take me for a ride?"
"Phrasing ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)" Samira inserted.
With things settled, the group were ready to ride. Persica gave one more instruction to her shroomans, "By the time I return, I wish for this castle to be renamed Persica's Castle 2. Let all know where to come for refuge, peace, and guidance."
"Of course, princess! We'll have it super done!" the main shrooman saluted. The rest of the attending shroomans waved goodbye. The group set out and were finally on their way to Lord Shellie's fortress.
