A/N: A few details about the setting I'm using can be found at the bottom, for those who are interested.
1. Changes
IF, Compa and Vert sat together in Vert's room, within the Leanbox Basilicom. Vert was in the midst of a match against a computer opponent in one of her fighting games, while IF sat in her lap, with Compa sat on the bed behind them.
"Say, Vert, I've been meaning to ask you a question for a while." IF piped up.
"Oh? My little Iffy is always so very inquisitive." While Vert could not see the blush across IF's face, the way she lowered her head was indication enough. Vert brought her arms around to hug IF as she leaned down and nuzzled against her hair. "Ask away, Iffy."
"I noticed that you don't change much when you activate HDD. Personality-wise, I mean." IF looked over her shoulder at Vert, who had returned to her game.
"Hmm, I suppose that I do not change very much. I don't feel particularly different when in HDD, although I can feel that I am more powerful."
"Do you know why you don't change as much as the others?" IF asked. Vert bit her lip as she divided her attention between the game and IF.
"Oh, I have an idea!" Compa called out from behind them.
"What do you think, Compa?" IF asked her friend.
"When Nep-Nep transforms, she gets super-duper cocky and acts like she can beat up anyone. Lady Black Heart is pretty cocky too, and kinda snooty. And then Lady White Heart gets super mad and starts swearing like crazy!" Compa explained. "So that means that all of the other CPU's personalities are hyped-up versions of their regular selves!" Compa said with a nod.
"So what does that mean for Vert?" IF asked.
"It means that Lady Vert is already a stuck up meanie, even when she's normal!" Compa reasoned.
Vert scoffed. "I am not a meanie!" She scratched her cheek awkwardly. "Not a big meanie, anyway."
"You are kind of a stuck up bitch, though." IF laughed. Vert hung her head and sighed in defeat.
"I suppose I cannot refute that."
2. Some Lines Are Made To Be Crossed
The sun barely peeked out from behind the grey clouds, shining it's meager light down on Planeptune. The land of Purple Progress was usually a buzzing hive of activity, however, on this rare chilly day, most of it's denizens had decided to stay inside rather than brave the cold weather.
"Jeez; I thought Lowee was bad, but at least there you know what you're in for. If I'd known it'd be this cold, I'd have packed my wool undies!" Red rubbed her arms in a futile attempt to stave off the cold. Walking alone through the streets of Planeptune, she pulled out a note from her dress. "This says her apartment should be right around here." Red approached the apartment complex that her friend's note had led her to. She looked between the note and the board of buzzers at the front entrance.
"So she should be...number 10!" Red hit the buzzer and waited. After a few moments, the speaker crackled to life.
"Hello?" A girl spoke sheepishly over the intercom.
"Hello! Red's here!" Red announced loudly, as always.
"Oh! I'll open the door for you. Come on up!" The girl over the intercom said happily. The door beside Red clicked, and she made her way inside and up to the first floor. After a short search, Red found apartment number 10 and knocked enthusiastically on the door. When the door did not immediately open, Red carried on her knocking, getting louder and louder.
The door flew open.
"Red, please calm down! I just needed a moment to get ready!" Said a very flustered Tekken.
"Come on, you know me! I just can't wait to see my wifeys; I get all wound up and excitable!" Red said happily, putting her hands on her hips.
"Well, come on in." Tekken stepped aside as Red walked through to the lounge area of the small apartment.
"I gotta say, I was expecting something a little bigger, Tekken." Red said.
"Oh, well I'm rarely ever here. I spend most of my time outside, training, so I don't want to have to spend too much on rent." Tekken wrung her hands sheepishly. "I'm sorry if I disappointed you."
"Eh, I guess this is a nice enough place." Red shrugged. "It's kinda hot in here, though." Red fanned herself. "I know I just came outta the cold, but wow, it's like an oven in here!"
"Really? I always have the heating turned up, so I suppose I never notice." Tekken pointed to an artificial fireplace set in the wall of the lounge area. Red looked over Tekken's attire, her usual torn up Gi that clearly showed off her panties; then looked over her own outfit, a classic Chinese dress with a small cleavage window.
"I guess you are wearing a lot less than me." Red said, flapping her sleeves. "Still, you have it this hot all the time?"
"Whenever I'm here, yes. I...like to build up a sweat." Tekken said with a faint smile.
"Well, I don't mean to be a bad guest, but do you mind turning it down some?" Red wiped the sweat from her brow as she let out a steamy breath. "Red's starting to turn red, you see."
"If you don't mind, Red, there's something I'd like you to help me with first." Tekken walked over to the artificial fireplace and picked up something from atop it. She handed the object to Red.
"Huh? A fire poker; why would you need this?" Red looked over the long, straight piece of metal, making sure to hold the cooler end.
"The metal has absorbed a lot of heat, so it's very warm, but it's not hot enough to burn. It'll still hurt if you touch it for too long though." Tekken said as she made her way over to the sofa in the middle of the room.
"Uh, okay. So, what do you want me to do with this?" Red waved the poker around. "Any coals need poking? Some monsters need jabbing? Or maybe some naughty girls need spanking?" Red smiled mischievously.
"Oh no, it's nothing like that." Tekken laughed sweetly. She adjusted herself on the sofa so that she was on her hands and knees, with her head resting on the arm, while her behind was up in the air and pointing in Red's direction. "Red, please take that poker…"
"Uh huh." Red nodded, trying not to stare too hard at Tekken's ass.
"...And stick it up my asshole." Tekken said. Red nodded absentmindedly.
"...What?"
"Red, please stick the poker up my asshole! Come on, before it gets cold!" Tekken said much more forcefully. Red stopped her nodding.
"Nope."
Red threw the poker aside and dashed towards the window. With one swift motion, she tore open the window and leapt outside. She somersaulted through the air, and hit the ground with a perfect three-point landing.
"Red! Get back here and poke my butt!" Tekken yelled out of the window. Red took off at a full sprint.
"Nopenopenopenope! So much nope!"
3. Lingerie
Within the Lowee Basilicom, inside the twin CPU Candidates bedroom, Uni and Rom sat watching TV together. They were sat right beside one another, holding hands. The show currently on TV was a nature documentary about Dogoos. Rom smiled happily as she watched the cute monsters bouncing around on the screen. Uni smiled blissfully as she watched Rom enjoying herself. She squeezed her hand a little tighter. Rom turned to look at Uni.
"Is something the matter, Uni? Do I...have something on my face?" Rom asked worriedly.
"I-I wasn't watching you! I just happened to be looking your way when you looked at me, that's all." Uni lowered her head as she blushed. "It's not like I'm happy to see you smile or anything." Rom tilted her head in confusion.
Just then, the door swung open.
"Hey you guys, you gotta check this out!" Uni and Rom turned back to see Ram burst into the room. Rom made to remove her hand from Uni's, but Uni tightened her grip just enough to keep their hands together. "I found a really cool book in Mina's room!" Ram held up a magazine.
"What were you doing in the Oracle's room?" Asked Uni.
"Sneaking around, duh." Ram said as though it were obvious.
"What's in the book?" Rom asked. Ram grinned mischievously.
"It's got tons of photos of girls in their underwear!" Uni blanched. Ram ran up beside her and handed her the magazine.
"Ram! What kind of dirty…" Uni stopped as she looked at the front cover. "Oh, it's just a lingerie catalogue." Uni let out a relieved sigh. "Still, you shouldn't go snooping through other people's things, Ram. You might find something that they wanted to keep private!"
"Just open the book and read it!" Ram said excitedly.
"I wanna see." Rom joined in, leaning against Uni so she could look at the magazine in her lap.
"Alright, but only for a little bit." Uni flipped open the magazine and started going over each page. It was nothing too risque; each page had several photographs of twenty-something women posing in various articles of underwear ranging from simple and plain to frilly and lacy.
As Uni neared the end of the catalogue, Ram snickered under her breath.
"What's so funny?" Uni asked, confused.
"Turn the page! Turn the page!" Ram urged. Uni complied, flipping over to the next page.
"Hold on a second…" Uni stared intently at the model posing on the double bed in nothing but her undies.
"That's...Miss Financier." Rom pointed out.
"Yeah, that's Blanc's maid!" Uni said in surprise. "What's she doing in here?"
"I dunno." Ram shrugged. "Isn't it, like, totally cool though! Financier looks awesome in her panties and bra!" Ram laughed.
"Miss Financier...is really pretty." Rom said with a smile.
"Hmm, I guess being a CPU's maid doesn't pay all that well after all." Uni said, a tinge of sadness in her voice.
"Maybe she did it...because she wanted to." Rom said, noting Uni's dejected look.
"You think so?" Uni asked.
"Yeah! I'll bet she just wanted to show off her awesome body!" Ram said proudly.
"Maybe she did...I'll admit, she does look really good in that bra." Uni smiled at the twins.
Suddenly, a knock came from the door.
"Rom! Ram! Have either of you been in my room!" Mina opened the door and stormed inside, a stern look on her face. Rom and Ram both pointed at Uni, who was still holding the lingerie catalogue.
"Uni did it!"
A/N:This series is primarily based on the Superdimension, circa Re;Birth1's True Ending. However, I have mixed in a few aspects of the Hyperdimension; namely the Oracles and all of the human characters that did not appear in Re;Birth1, save for Nippon Ichi and Gust. There will be very little of the Ultradimension here, so no Plutia or Peashy either.
