Meeting Room [Curls|E&E]

    So conflicting! Honestly, Evie found both ideas to be interested. But, she supposed she saw the point of view that Amelie painted about fireworks being happier. Giant explosions were always happier, weren't they? ...Okay, no, not really. But, one could pretend that was the case.

    But on the beer subject? Admittedly... "Most beer here tastes watered down." Which was, frankly, pretty disappointing for someone from a country that took quite a bit of pride in their booze. Then, there was a small pause while the blonde debated if Amy's offer was legitimate or if she was sarcastically talking about a much higher quality beer. "I'd never turn down Westvleteren XII, but I'm not sure how much it would cost to buy in Japan." Would it be expensive, considering it would be an imported brand? Or, would it be moderately affordable? Evie was never in a place to really understand pricing systems, regardless, but she was fairly certain it wouldn't be proper to offer to pay for such a thing for Amy! For several reasons, really!

    As for drunken stories? Both teens made an innocent glance at the ceiling. "Well maybe not-"

    "-A fair share." That didn't sound like downplaying at all.

    That conversation would be put on the back-burner for a little while, though! Soon, everyone was getting ready to pile into the car, and head somewhere more relaxing! Though, one had to wonder how relaxing this game of truth or dare would be! There was silence while Amy had to make a decision.

    Which girl was the best girl choice to date if Amy liked women? Did the answer give anyone a real surprise? Elsie began to turn a couple of shades of pink, while her sister concealed a snicker. If Kath wasn't between them, surely, there would have been a more interesting exchange between the siblings. It was probably lucky, especially for Elsie, that they had a barrier of another human between them!

    "I dunno if it's a compliment to be compared to a guy, though" Elsie mumbled, thoughtfully. It probably wasn't meant that way! But, whichever way she took it, she didn't actually seem to be offended!

    Lucky for Elsie, her embarrassed brain wouldn't have a spotlight on it right now! Instead, her sister was the target! While it was a little boring to pick the same thing that Amy had, it felt like it would probably be the easiest to go with, when in a car! Who knew what kind of dares would be set into motion, after all? "Truth!"

    Though, now, the blonde found herself stuck thinking through various scenarios of drunkenness. Or, at least, scenarios that she could remember. "I guess it isn't crazy, but an embarrassing thing I did once," she started, tapping her index finger to her lips. "I got really drunk, and thought a bird was stuck in a tree. I tried to help it down, but Elsie wouldn't let me climb the tree-"

    "Not that you could have anyway."

    "-and I got really upset that I couldn't save the bird, and started crying on the sidewalk." For someone who was usually pretty smart, this was not a prime example. But, it was a pretty awkward story to live up to!

    "You should've seen her face when it flew away."

    Yes. Very awkward.

    And now? Her turn to pick a victim. Giving a small, sing-song voice, the blonde announced, "Katherine! Truth, or dare?"

Truth:

Dare:


    Would that mean Kath had to lean across one of the sisters to follow through with the dare, if that's what she picked? Of course! But, that would probably just make it more entertaining in its own way. At least Evie wasn't being too mean, and wasn't making her throw it out the window entirely!

    Not that she expected Kath of all people to be the first one to pick Dare, anyway.

    What could Amelie do, except agreeing with Evie? Only a fool would say that Japanese beer held a candle to German or Belgian brands. Or that exploding things wasn't hella happy. Fittingly, the ultimate answer to the blonde's sentence was a nod, then a shrug.

    "Can't say you're wrong, but beggars can't really be choosers." The sad truth. "Any beer is better than no better at all, and while sake is fine at first, I can't say I like it enough to drink it on a regular basis. The stuff is kinda bland, you know?"

    Obviously enough, no beer lover would dare to turn down Westvleteren XII; that much was obvious. Was that comment truthful or sarcastic? There was only one way to find out... "Well, it costs the same than to ship it to any part of the world. At least if you buy it from the source. I should be able to get some bottles by the time the next seasonal sale hits; you're all invited to share a couple with me when that happens!"

    Of course, such an item would be very difficult to acquire past that opportunity, unless they went to resellers, and... the brunette wasn't too excited about having to pay for a drastically inflated product. That wasn't important at the moment, however! A smirk slowly widened into a grin at how the twins tried —in vain— to hide their would-be embarrassing stories. That was fine, however. She'd eventually find about them later. For now, there was a car to board, and some hot springs to get to!

    Not to say, a game of truth or dare to play; Amy herself had been the first victim, even though her response seems to have satisfied everyone? Even though Elsie seemed to be a bit awkward about that. Waving a hand dismissively, she tried to address those concerns to the best of her ability.

    "Aw, don't take it that way, Els!" That comment might've been a little too cheerful. "I'd have to be blind or stupid to say that you share the most overt traits with my boyfriend, if you catch my drift."

    Anyone able to see the brunette's face through the rear-view mirror would notice that she was wiggling her eyebrows. Just maybe she was a tad too tipsy. "I meant something like how your personalities are somewhat similar, at least in comparison to Evie, Jazz, or Katherine! Does that make sense? I hope it does. At least a bit."

    Alcohol was making the young woman even more of a chatterbox than usual. Was that a good or a bad thing...? For now, that issue was swept to the side while Evie recounted one of her drunken adventures. Overall? It was pretty mild stuff, but Amelie couldn't help to laugh at it.

    "Awww, you poor thing." She commented, sarcasm dripping for her tone. The brunette couldn't be blamed for having fun. "At least your heart was in the right place. I'd probably have done the same, except I don't need a sister to know I can't climb a tree to save my life."

    Fast forward, Evie had chosen Katherine as her next victim and the girl had picked... dare, of all things. Sure, it had taken her being pretty much bullied by Jazz to give into such an obvious trap, but it wasn't like she had a choice now. Once she had chosen dare and the dare had been issued, it was too late for Curls to back up. So... what would she do?

    Seemingly, she'd go with the dare! Amelie cursed under her breathe. Had not she been forced to pay attention to the road in order to not get the whole party involved in a terrible car accident, she'd have filmed the whole ordeal! Alas... that couldn't be done. Instead, the girl just enjoyed occasional peaks through the rear-view mirror, all while watching how Evie's body fared at being squished by her obviously busty peer.

    Eventually, the group would reach the hot springs' parking lot; probably enough cue for Katherine to return her bra were it rightfully belonged. And, apparently, the girl's turn at truth or dare had been promptly handed to her. What a waste! So, after parking and descending from the car, this time, the brunette's eyes would set on the twin that hadn't been truth-or-dared yet.

    "Alright! If Curls doesn't wanna do it, I guess I'mma do it. So, Els; what will be? Truth, or dare?"

    A short, yet dramatic pause ensued after Elsie responded, but before Amy issued what the blonde had to tell or do.

Truth:
Dare:
    The game still continued!

It wasn’t hard to see –especially for such a good observer as Katherine- that the dares and truths being issued were escalating with the amount of alcohol in everyone’s body. Even if the venture of sticking her bra out of the window had proved to be kind of difficult, why was it that everyone now felt a lot more comfortable saying and doing stuff they would normally not do? In this, which was her second try at alcohol, she was starting to comprehend a bit better the effects it had on the human body.

That would only make her wonder what effects this would have on Jazz’s body. The former bunny had proved to be quite… eccentric since she had turned into a Cho-Hakkaimon. And, naturally, she was more than willing to team with Evie! After all, if it involved tricking Katherine into doing funny stuff, she was always up for it! “Definitely.” Her eyes closed and a smug expression, Jazz threw a reaffirming nod the green-eyed twin’s way.

Right before Amelie threw her own challenge at Elsie, Katherine’s eyes had widened. Did she somehow know how this was going to end? Maybe. If Elsie thought this was not fair, imagine Katherine! It was Elsie who picked dare, why did Amelie’s dare involved her!?

“Yes!” Her hand clenched tightly into a fist, Jazz celebrated this new victory. “I want to see Jasso in a tight bra!”

Puffing her cheeks, Katherine glanced at the fairly sizeable piece of fabric in her hand, which she had just taken out of the window. Before even being able to put it back on, she had to extend it to Elsie. Then, she responded to Jazz's comment. "Well... you won't get to actually see me in it." Although she normally wouldn’t even be able to look into the twin's eyes in this type of situation, she actually received the bra while looking at her and her own offer with a very evident blush taking over her face.


“W-Well… I didn't choose to take it out the window.” That keep tonality remained on Katherine's cheeks for a while more. And yes, the one she was putting was warm, which was probably even weirder! Her green irises, which had previously trailed off towards Evie, went back to Elsie, who voiced her own preoccupation about the girl not actually being able to fit in it. It was probably the alcohol that made her ignore the implication below these words. Instead, the Spaniard voiced her own preoccupation. “I-I just… hope I don’t rip it. This is very cute.” That would be a terrible loss.

Luckily, the sweater Katherine was wearing did a good enough job covering her while she slid that bra below it and struggled to put it on. Oh… gosh. This was worse than she thought! She had managed to clip the last set of clasps together but… at what cost? This was very very bad.

“I never thought I would… be so eager to take my bra off.” Well, the fact that she was soon going to be naked in front of all of these girls had turned into a blessing! It was only a matter of time before she was able to take this strangling garnet off her!

Meanwhile! It was Jazz’s turn to have fun! And no! The game was not ending now. Not when it was her turn! She was going to play. And naturally, she had picked… “Dare, dare, dare!”

And, of course, she would follow the orders with no trouble! She even slid her tongue over her lips while she searched for her prey. Oh God, what had Elsie done?

First, Jazz looked at the girl that was closest to her at the moment. Nope. Amelie was huge, it wasn’t fun to grope someone that tall. Then… Katherine. Ouch. Her tamer seemed to be... Going through a hard time. Even she was not that evil to grope her in a moment like this. Which meant she still had a lot to learn from Evie. That left two options on the table. Two very similar options.

So… who would it be? Was it fair to go against Elsie, the same person who had given her the opportunity to do this? Or… was it a better idea to go for Evie, who had gone rather unharmed during all of this? Although it took her a second or two to decide, Jazz ended up positioning herself behind Elsie and… GROPE!

Welp… there was a kind of disappointing amount of space between that bra and what actually filled it, but… that had been super fun! What would be the groped girl's reaction?

Okay. This was it. Jazz was ready. IT WAS HER MOMENT.

“It’s finally my turn!” This time two clenched fist positioned themselves in front of her. She could almost feel the heat of her victory! “And I pick…!” Her index finger lifted in the air, she was about to point at one of the girls. But…!

“Not Amy.”

… Her tamer’s last-minute order had made her change targets. “… Evie!”

A strange choice, no doubt!

So... “Truth or dare?” In what could very well be the last round, Jazz had picked her victim and Evie had to pick her game! Was this the second chapter of their alliance?

Truth:


Dare:

    Many things had happened in a relatively short time span; the first was that a confirmation beyond any kind of doubt had been issued regarding Elsie's gender, Evie's ability to become a blonde squirrel on command, Amy's penchant for merciless dares, both Katherine's and Elsie's cup sizes had been revealed. But most importantly?

    That Jazz was a hopeless pervert, and that the most common object for her less-than-morally-acceptable curiosity seemed to match Elsie's (and maybe Katherine's/Jazz's?) sexual orientation.

    What about Amelie herself? She looked like she was having the time of her life as she watched everyone else struggle. "I hope no bras will end up torn after this small venture, as funny as the anecdote would be. Even though..." She made a small pause as the blonde issued her comment regarding the possibility of Katherine keeping a used bra. "I guess some of you might enjoy it? The dare might've turned out better than expected if so, then. Flip side! None will have to wear any bras inside the hot springs; so there's that!"

    Obviously enough, a pretty smug grin was already plastered in her face as both the bra-exchange ended and the groping dare began. On one hand, Jazz's target wasn't very unexpected, but on the other... the result was obviously disappointing. To put in perspective, the level of protection that Elsie had acquired was comparable to a sports car somehow having a jeep's bumper. Still not great, but a lot less impactful than one would expect!

    "Aw, come on, Els!" The brunette found herself saying after the dare had finished, barely holding off laughter between words. "I bet you could barely feel Jazz's hands with that bra! You should actually thank me for that. I totally protected your modesty! Or something."

    Drunk? Drunk. Good thing that the car was already parked and the group was remaining there just because people kept on insisting on doing it. Not like Amy was in a hurry to get off, mind you! Thus far, the whole deal had been pretty fun mostly because the embarrassing stuff hadn't happened to her.

    At least, until the latest dare! While Evie had been its target, what was about to happen became fairly obvious as soon as the blonde exited the car and opened the driver's door; after green and blue eyes exchanged a look and the brunette noticed the blonde's expression, a coy smirk took over her features.

    What could she say? She liked the way Evie thought! "I guess we've got to teach the beginners how it's done. They gotta learn somehow, right?" Shifting on her seat so the blonde would have an easier time to lean in, Amy's arms wrapped around her friend's neck as she approached, foretelling a pretty steamy affair that... ended not happening at all.

    In the end, the two ended up kissing each other's cheeks. Only when the timer was up, hands were unclasped, and everything was once again back to normal. Well, except for the fact that a certain brunette was laughing almost hysterically.

    "I agree. I had fun, but the bath calls! Let's head in already!"

    Unless anyone was interested in the registration process, it was fitting to say that everything had gone more or less smoothly, and that before five minutes had passed, the four girls and the digimon would find themselves in the changing room, each one holding a basket with a bathrobe and some towels inside. It came without saying that Amy was already going through the motions in order to get ready to dive in.

    Yet, at the same time, was curious regarding how the rest would react to such bold motions. As of right now, she was especially interested in Katherine, considering how she was a bit of a prude. But until then...

    "So, Eve." Once again, the brunette's smirk was pretty indicative that she wasn't up to anything good. "What are you gonna tell your boyfriend once he finds out you kissed a girl?"

    Pretty random question. What it could possibly mean? Probably nothing.

    Honestly, Elsie didn't really want Kath to buy her a new bra if her current one ripped! Sure, they were expensive, but wouldn't that just be like salt in a wound, of sorts? A reminder that they not only had to trade bras, but one was lost in the battle to fit someone clearly more busty than herself. It would just be painful! Not just for Kath! But, luckily, it seemed that the power of stretchy bra-bands persevered, and it was surviving! For now.

    Speaking of salt in the wound? Hearing Amy's comment about the bra-trade saving her from feeling Jazz, the wild-haired blonde puffed her cheeks. "I can still feel it squishing!" Something that she wasn't fond of! It was even more weird with all that extra space! Luckily, she was no longer in the line of sight for this game, and could take a break!

    More luckily, Jazz was more than content with the show that the brunette and the blonde put on! Because Evie wasn't going to provide anything better! So, after the 'kiss' broke, she flashed a smile at the holosuited digimon. "It was entirely fair!" No cheating whatsoever! Just a little dodging, maybe.

    Soon enough, the group would go through registration and all the less fun to write routines of getting to changing room! And once there? Evie picked at her towel momentarily, before bringing it under her shirt, and wrapping it in a way that covered herself without anyone getting to see anything on the girl! And once that part was done, she'd begin removing her clothes properly, underneath or over the towel in the case of her shirt! Crafty!

    Meanwhile, Elsie gladly took her bra back from the newly-freed tamer, taking a glance at it before shrugging. "Looks fine to me!" It was warm, though, and she still really didn't want to handle it much until it wasn't! That'd be weird, after all! With her own clothing back in her possession, the blonde quickly undid the oversized article that she was 'wearing', and offered it back to the curly haired girl. And, then realized that Katherine was seeming a lot less okay with the situation!

    She wasn't nervous, was she?

    "Well, we didn't bring swimsuits, so," she drew out the final word, biting her lower lip. "You could do what Eve's doin'?" She suggested, with a gesture to her sister, who was in the process of removing her bra from beneath the towel wrap. "You just kind of cover yourself with the towel for now, and then when you get in the water itself, nobody's going to be looking in the water anyway!" That'd be weird, if they were! Right? Right.

    But, would that be enough to convince Katherine that it was fine to undress? Who knew. She seemed to be a pretty modest person! But, it looked like Elsie planned to wait to undress, herself, until she knew Katherine was going to be able to handle herself! After all, it would probably only make the Spaniard more nervous if she was the only one still fully dressed. And surely, Jazz wasn't going to waste any time in getting ready!

    And then, to the final question, posed by a certain brunette? Evie gave a thoughtful hum. "I don't know!" She answered, cheerfully. Why so cheerful? Because there wasn't a boyfriend to tell! "What are you going to tell yours?"

A sigh of relief escaped Katherine as Elsie delivered her verdict after examining her bra. “I’m glad I didn’t actually rip it or something.” All were fun and laughs until someone’s cute piece of undergarment was actually destroyed by trying to go beyond its limits! “I would be angry if someone ripped one of mine.” She really would! Cute clothes were… important for her or something.

In the end, it seemed like Amy was by far the most amused by this whole exchange! She really seemed to be having a blast about it. Not that Katherine cared, for that matter. She wasn’t the type to hold a grudge against someone teasing her a bit. Besides… she was too busy being upset by something else her friend had done.

For now, the Spaniard just listened to the Frenchwoman closely, not really being able to tell how serious she was about everything she was saying. She usually wouldn’t have too much trouble identifying when the blue-eyed meant her words or not but, with Amy (and herself) being quite inebriated, it was hard to tell!

“Connect with… people.” A curious digit over her cheek, Katherine barely made any sound by retracing Amy’s words. Did she mean like… physically connecting? She couldn't be speaking literally, right? But… if she wasn't, how was she going to spiritually connect with others by being naked?

Upon hearing Elsie come back to her, her green irises posed on the German blonde. Then, they went to Evie. Okay! That seemed like a good idea, yes. Without taking her eyes off from Elsie's sister(hopefully, she wouldn’t think that was creepy, right?), Katherine took the towel that had been given to her in the lobby and replicated her motions. It was really working! In all honesty? Even with a towel, this was probably something Katherine wouldn’t do if she were not… slightly drunk.

The Spaniard was more than aware that she couldn’t avoid her friends seeing her naked eventually but… if she could do this to slowly get used to the idea, that was a good thing, right? “Thank you so much, Elsie.” Holding her towel with her right hand, Katherine tilted her head and showed an honest smile to her peer. She could tell Elsie had felt she was uncomfortable. It was really nice of her to try helping her. How shy was Elsie herself about being naked in front of others, though? Katherine could only assume she was about to find out.

Jazz, who was completely naked ages ago, wrinkled her mouth, looking at Elsie and Katherine from afar. At the time, she couldn’t help but muse on how her own relationship with Elsie had begun. And… the thing she had been wanting to tell her since that battle at Tayichi’ Tai’s fortress! Would she ever get the chance to do it?

Once everyone had gone through the necessary motions, Katherine and Jazz would meet Amy at the bathing room. Just before getting into the water, the Spaniard would carefully remove her towel. Something Jazz didn’t need to go through, clearly.

Not too much after diving their bodies in, Katherine and Jazz’s eyes widened. This felt quite good! The sensation was extremely relaxing! Even more than what they expected.

“It feels so good!” Jazz chimed, stretching her arms up in the air. And that was the reason why she was all up for Amelie's proposal. “That’s such a good idea, Shisei.” A smile that only denoted she was the comfiest digimon in the world right now accompanied that input. Then, her expression changed into one that was a bit more pensive. “… I wonder how we could concentrate in discussing any important matters while being in such a relaxing place, though.” Oh, was the holosuited Cho-Hakkaimon showing some sense of responsibility?

... Maybe. Maybe not.
