Jackie stumbled into the Jail, letting out a tired huff as she haggardly breathed. Yikes … too much running. With a few deep breaths to rejuvenate herself, Jackie stood up straight, bracing herself for the worst. She had to let Aria know what happened to the notebooks; if she didn't and Aria later found out what happened, she might actually come for her head.
Walking around down the hallway, she began searching for Aria before finding some afterimages working around the jail. She walked over to one, catching its attention.
"Aria; where is she?" Jackie asked slowly, watching the afterimage stare at her ominously before turning and pointing towards Black's office. "Thanks." She said, trotting over to the door before knocking, "hey, Aria, I've got uh, something important to tell you." Jackie said, going ahead and opening the door before freezing.
Within the office was a messy array of papers of clothing littering the floor, the first warning before the horror in front of her face. Aria was indeed there and so were both Jokers who were both in a rather intimate position with the young woman, grabbing, kissing and grinding in every way which slapped Jackie's face with a deep blush. The sight made Jackie jolt, wishing she could burn this memory out of her mind.
"AHHHH! SORRY!" Jackie screamed when she finally got her mind together, slamming the door shut. Her heart jerked in surprise before she shivered in almost disgust, leaning away to leave before pausing. Wait, while she's distracted with something good, this was the best chance to tell Aria what happened. "Hey uh, Aria? Sorry for interrupting but uh, what would you do if, say, my apartment blew up with your notebooks inside?" Jackie asked, freezing and listening inside.
Aria stopped the happy humping and looked at the door. "Wait, what? What note … not 'those' notebooks, I spent months on those. I'd blow you up at the very least."
Jackie nodded, accepting her fate but her fight or flight instincts immediately grabbed hold of her - and her immediate reaction with Aria involved was flight. "Okay cool so I'm just going to leave then." Jackie quickly spoke within one breathe before she quickly took off running. At least a head start would give her a false hope of surviving this.
"You DID blow them up!" Aria shouted as Jackie heard the terrifying steps of the mercenary quickly becoming louder behind her.
Jackie looked back, seeing Aria sprinting after her like a murderous train before the Amusement Park's engineer screamed, "I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY!" She picked up her speed in terror and made a head shot lead to the mirror outside of the Jail, praying she could lose Aria in the crowd.
"How the hell did you blew up those notes!? Those were supposed to be guide for any and all foreigners dragged into this f***ing world! They contain all the depressing knowledge about how wonderland really works!" Before Jackie could get away, Aria tackled the other foreigner to the ground. Aria was about to strangle Jackie when she noticed the other girl looked like a beaten hobo already. "And why are you so roughed up?" She demanded, seeing Jackie's torn up clothes, bloody shins and a light but long gash on her thigh.
"Because my apartment blew up when I was almost inside of it, th-that's why!" Jackie shouted, not out of anger, but out of fear.
"Your apartment blew up when you were reaching for it?" Aria narrowed her olive green eyes.
"Y-Yes! Right after someone tried to snipe me!" Jackie cried, her heart raced before, trembling and teary eyed, she hugged the scantily dressed mercenary. "UGH! That was terrifying!" Jackie shouted, mourning over the loss of everything she owned.
"Why do you always hug me?" Aria rolled her eyes but awkwardly patted Jackie's back "Alright, I'll deal with you. When I finish here." She peeled Jackie off of her and stood up, naked and quite sweaty from her intimate moment with Joker Jackie had unfortunately interfered with. "Go to the guest room in the medical aisle and wait there. There's some food and drinks in the minibar."
"O-Okay." Jackie said, still trembling like a kicked little puppy.
"Or you can join us if you want," White calmly walked towards them and placed his hand over Aria's shoulder, everything of anything showing everything.
"AAAAAHHHGGGGHHHHHHHHH NO!" Jackie shouted, looking away quickly before scampering away to the guest room before Joker or Aria could try to grab her.

Jackie laid in the soft bed, hiding under the covers like a child as she tried to erase both Aria's and Joker's image from her brain or the sounds that she had managed to hear even from here. Ugh … why did she always have the absolute worst luck when it came to these things? Almost every time she managed to find Aria in a place she was, well, unavailable for one reason or another. She flinched as she heard the door open, somewhat dreading explaining to Aria that she did indeed lose her notebooks. There was no way they could have survived that explosion.
"Alright. Now explain in detail what happened … since last I saw you." The second foreigner had apparently taken a quick bath and was now at least clothed, not in her usual armor but with a casual suit.
Jackie took in a deep breath and, amazingly, in that same breath, blurted out every detail possible about what happened. As Aria listened she became more and more engrossed in how the 3rd foreigner was managing to speak about each detail with only two lungs full of air. By the end of it Jackie gasped in a deep breath, throwing herself over the bed with a heavy groan. "Why are people trying to kill meee?!"
Aria tapped her chin with one finger. "It doesn't seems that you are being targeted for killing, rather for capturing. Damn, someone came to your apartment before I did."
"What is that supposed to mean?!" Jackie snapped at her, her heart still racing.
"Never mind. But least you already have a place to stay. Good." Aria waved her hand dismissively. "However, you lost those notebooks. I spent months of work on them. They held a massive amount of knowledge that could have served or trolled future foreigners. I'm … upset."
"I know, I know." Jackie heavily sighed, rubbing her aching head. "I'm sorry for losing them." She heavily sighed.
"I would normally use you in my experiments for that, and use your existence to further up my research in exchange."
"WHICH IS NOT LEGAL." Jackie immediately and quickly pointed out, trembling slightly, "b-b-because of the friendship agreement." She said, now especially very glad that she made Aria sign those papers.
"Yes, that's why I came out with a solution. You now work for me. Not like I didn't own you before, but I'll pay you now. You are also under my protection and stuff, so let's go shopping."
"Work you for? Absolutely not," Jackie stated, "I'm not doing anything creepy that you'll probably try to make me do. Part time at most." Jackie bargained.
"You have no choice." Aria smiled, "you got those notebooks that I entrusted you with all my trust destroyed. Plus your money, clothes and all your stuff is gone. Not to mention that you are being targeted and I don't like anyone messing with what is mine." She passed her arm over Jackie's shoulder. "As stated in the contract I cannot just let this pass up. Helping a friend is one of the main characteristics of our contract, so this fixes it."
"Part time." Jackie stated, "the Amusement Park is still my main job."
"Nope, you work for me, but I'll allow you to work part time at that place." She pinched Jackie's cheek a little harder than necessary with a scary smile, "you destroyed knowledge that would have further the development of this world so you are going to help me modernize this world and create a state of benefit in it. I need engineers and since you're from my world your field of expertise will be needed."
"Part time for you. I'm sticking with that." Jackie said, bracing herself through the pinching.
"We will discuss the details later. For now, we need to go shopping."
"Shopping?"
"It's stated in clause 94, subsection 3; in the case of the loss in personal belongings, said friend will offer chocolate or other counselling treats along with taking the victim shopping for new ones if deemed necessary. And I'm deeming it necessary."
" … fine." Jackie heavily sighed, rubbing her aching forehead before she got up, looking over her almost bare attire. All she had left was her work uniform but she couldn't go shopping with that on. "Do you have any spare clothes I can wear while we're shopping at least?"
"Nope unless you want to wear one of the mini dresses Joker got me." Aria chuckled. "That's while we are going shopping casual first, then we get more clothes for daily use, like underwear, and then I'll get you a couple new uniforms and formal suits."
"Really? No uh, just shorts and shirts at all?" Jackie asked with a frown as Aria pulled out a mini dress that, although cute, was much too skimpy.
"Obviously not. You work for me now, so you must play the part and I won't let you go out like a hobo. Now, this is the biggest dress I have around here." She passed Jackie the dress. "And here are shoes. I used a little darkness there to get them your size."
"Can you make them flats instead? I'm going to break and ankle in these." Jackie said, looking at the tall heel.
"No, that would look bad with this dress but the heel is not that high and its wide, plus the platform has extra cushion." Aria explained while comfortably wearing combat boots herself.
Jackie quickly put on the dress and shoes, looking rather uncomfortable as she looked herself over. Her breasts were barking a little too loudly and she could feel the ever too present breeze between her legs uncomfortably so. The young engineer's butt stretched out the dress, making it tight against her hips. "Seriously? Nothing longer? It's a cute dress but uh, I'm not really comfortable wearing it." She admitted, trying to pull the dress down some more but her breasts barked louder in response.
"At least you shave your legs; you look cute." Aria gave Jackie a reassuring hug, "don't worry, we'll get you new clothes soon and you can wear the new ones as soon as we buy them."
" … fine." Jackie sighed, readjusting the top to fit better while wiggling her hips to even the dress out. Her ankle twisted, almost throwing her to the ground before she caught herself, shakily standing up straight again. "I'm going to break my leg." Jackie groaned, running her fingers through her hair as she took a few steps to test the shoes.
"You won't because then you won't be as useful as a worker." Aria gave Jackie a slap on the butt, making her jump. "Now let's-,"
The door suddenly opened and instantaneously Aria turned around with a growl, her eyes becoming a red light and her whole clothes transforming into her full armor. The blades at the sides of her forearms extended while the shadows in the room crackled menacingly as she took a battle stance. The transformation from playful smiles to a murderous atmosphere took Jackie by surprise as she backed away, her heart racing as she tried to think of a way to calm the situation down. However, considering Aria's experiences, Jackie doubted that would be possible.
"Huh? Hey, Jackie! And the other foreigner." Ace cheerfully grinned, stepping inside and ignoring Aria's threatening stance, "ooh~ I've always wondered what was behind this door, Joker. I'm so lucky!" He grinned, "you look cute, Jackie."
"HEY! YOU S*** FOR BRAINS! I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE THAT ROOM ALONE!" Black's voice shouted from down the hall.
The voice that came from the shadows was a mixture of distorted digital tones but the spite and rage were tangible in the air. "Get out of here, clockling."
"W-Whoa, Aria, calm down." Jackie said, backing up a bit.
"Hey! Can we have a four-," Ace started before Black's hand whipped forward, grabbing his skull and yanking him back.
"What have I told you about snooping in this room?!" Black demanded, blinding Ace and dragging him back, "get back to work!"
Aria raised a hand and the surface of the full body mirror Jackie had used to look at herself became watery. Without a word, Aria pushed Jackie through it before stepping through it herself, never giving her back to the holders in the prison.
Jackie tripped, falling face first into a large bear plush doll. She gripped the fur, startled before staggering back and looking to the mirror before recognizing they were in White's room, what with all the toys and dolls available. "A-Aria, what was that about? Why did you get all creepy there?" Jackie asked, baffled.
"Because that d*** clockling appeared, obviously." Aria twisted her head sideways and loudly cracked her neck, her eyes going back to normal and out of combat mode. She then snapped her fingers and her clothes formed again into some casual suit.
Jackie heavily sighed, "I really don't think you need to be so defensive around them anymore but," Jackie said, cutting her off as Aria started to retort, "I understand why you did it. Now let's go have some fun." Jackie suggested with a stiff smile before the mercenary decided to take Jackie's own head instead.
"Let's go."

Once in town, Aria prevented Jackie from going into the first store she saw and then reached some exclusive boutique before looking out for a couple small dresses.
"Aria, I am not wearing that." Jackie pointed out with a stiff frown. "That shows too much. Besides, I don't even really wear dresses."
"Yes you are because you need cute clothes and because since I'm paying, I'm choosing." Aria clicked out her tongue before smirking. "Plus I'll need you having something cute and nice to wear."
"Why? Are you planning on taking me out somewhere?" Jackie asked in a bit of a snarky tone but genuinely curious as she took the dress and set it over her arm to try on.
"Maybe." Aria then went to the suits section to look out a couple formal ones. "Plus, with that bottle broken and the sample contaminated, it will take me longer to find answers, so the more cute clothes you have will be better now that you have a boyfriend, no?"
"Not my boyfriend." Jackie immediately stated, glancing over to her and frowning, "did you find out anything about Fiore yet? You uh, said you were going to take a look at him." Jackie reminded her, seeming more edgy now. "I know he's one of yours so don't lie." Jackie whispered to her with a frown.
"Yeah, he is one of my notes." Aria passed Jackie a couple suites, one with pants and the other with a mid length skirt, "and a cute one too."
"Yeah, I saw the tattoo. You should probably have them get more hidden tattoos." Jackie pointed out, "once I noticed it I figured he must be one."
"They devised the tattoos and chose where they get them. I have no say in that." Aria passed a small hat to Jackie and a couple blouses. "Try those on. Did you like the sweets I got you?"
"THE SWEETS WERE BLOWN UP TOO!" Jackie nearly shrieked in horror, her face paling as she almost appeared to be swooning in despair.
Aria pushed Jackie into the dressing rooms. "You'll just have to ask him for more."
All of the clothes she tried on, amazingly, fit pretty well. She had to hand it to Aria for picking out cute clothes; but at the same time, the expensive materials and cute outfits just didn't seem to fit her. She frowned and let out a heavy sigh, putting on the dress, "hey Aria, after this let's go to the store I usually go to for more casual clothes," Jackie said as she flipped over the price tag of the blouse and nearly fainted right then and there. I-I-It's so expensive-!
"Yeah we can go get some casual stuff." Aria got into the dressing room and looked up and down at Jackie with a smile. "That blouse looks good on you, so we'll take one in each color to match with the suits."
"A-Aria-!" Jackie whispered, panicked, "they're so expensive!"
"So? I'm the one paying." The merc shrugged. "If you want, you can leave in that or in the dress I lent you."
"C-Can't we just go to the cheaper stores I go to?!" Jackie practically begged.
"I told you I'm paying. I'm not having my pe … you, looking like a wreck, that speaks bad of me." Aria placed her hands on her hips, looking firm in her decision, "you look good in those. Forget the price, don't you like them?"
"Y-Yeah, they're cute and all but these are worth more than I'm comfortable with paying for them." Jackie admitted.
"I'm not letting my new engineer look cheap and unprofessional. Consider this part of your new uniform. And I'll be paying, of course part of it will be subtracted of your pay, but the rest, well, you can give me samples and it'll be fine. Plus I pay more than Gowland."
"I don't really care so much about the pay as long as I enjoy working." Jackie sighed but her eyes were shaped as dollar signs.
"Well, consider you'll be working with tech from our world and my time while earning a good buck. I'll especially like to add more robotic automatization to my factories."
Jackie's eyes glowed so brightly, Aria thought she might be blinded by her visibly excitement. "For production lines? O-Or transport?" Jackie asked with a slowly growing grin.
"Production lines, Transport, Medics, urban development, all and everything." Aria grinned. And crossed her arms "I told you, I'm up to develop this world."
"Sounds like fun." Jackie eagerly grinned.

Both girls shopped for a while before they rested at the terrace of a cafeteria, a couple bags besides Jackie and one for Aria as well. Going out shopping wasn't actually as horrible as Jackie was imagining. At least no one died. That thought made her smile. Well, unfortunately, the day wasn't over yet.
"Shopping can be quite nice. The only other woman I've ever gone shopping with in this world is Vivaldi." Aria admitted as she took a sip of her big green tea frappé.
"Yeah, shopping can be fun sometimes." Jackie admitted with a grin, twitching at how much money was spent here today while she sucked on her sweet tea.
"Yeah, next time we should go out just for fun. Maybe to commission some art or get more stuff."
"I agree. After I get some of my own money I'll treat you next time. At the store of my choosing." Jackie quickly added on. If Aria took her back to that boutique, all Jackie could possibly pay for is maybe a shirt and a half.
"Sure, but Jackie, stop thinking as if you were a XXI century waitress of your country under minimum wage. I'll be paying you as a professional, so you are going to eat properly and not the scraps Gowland pays you. For being so rich, he is quite stingy with you … or you are such a doormat." Aria chuckled.
"Unlike you I have to worry about my money. And I don't like people paying for me when I can't return it." Jackie sighed rather heavily. "And he's not stingy, really. I just asked him to pay me what he pays everyone else." Jackie shrugged, "plus I love working there. He pays for groceries and other things pretty often."
"You forgot I also came to this world with no money. However I DO know the value of my knowledge and skills." Aria smiled in a crooked way.
"Well, I don't know how to work it like you do. I guess I can be a bit lazy in that sense." Jackie shrugged.
"You can learn. After all, you are going to stay here. Since you got those notebooks burned you lost the part where they said how you could go back at any time and I'm not telling."
"Well, not for that long hopefully. How long do I have to wait until you finish your game?" Jackie questioned rather playfully but her heart was bracing itself for the answer. She already have to wait for Alice to finish her game which took forever and now she had to wait behind another one.
"Forever or until I'm dead." Aria took another sip and took her moments to enjoy the flavor.
Jackie stared at her, her expression frozen into a stiff smile, " … what do you mean forever?" Jackie asked with a paled face, her smile somehow still remaining but it was a smile of fear, not happiness.
"My game is not ending. You think I want to get near any of those damned clocklings?" Aria sneered. "You think I would even consider marrying any of them?"
"B-But Aria, if your game never ends then mine can never start." Jackie said with a frown, "I want to go home, Aria. I can't do that until my game starts. Please finish your game." Jackie said, laying partly on the table, "please, Aria. Finish your game."
"The roundabouts were in those notebooks too, such a shame." Aria placed her beverage on the table. "Impossible. I don't want to, plus I despise them and they hate me. At the very least they want me dead, if not worse. Just ask them, see what they tell you." The mercenary crossed her legs and took a new sip of the green beverage.
"Ugh," Jackie heavily sighed, rubbing her temples, "yeah, that sounds just about like my luck." Jackie almost cried before thumping her head onto the table.
"C'mon, this world is better than what you had back, no? From what you've told me, that is. And here you have a future." Aria smiled without humor. "Plus, it's not as if you're going anywhere while I'm around. Those Role Holders … ," she trailed off, clearly getting more annoyed.
"I think you should give them a shot, at least." Jackie suggested, "and this isn't just because I'm waiting for your game to end. It's unhealthy to be so suspicious and defensive all the time and living under a rock."
"And who was the one being shot at today before her apartment blew up, huh?" Aria rose an eyebrow. "What makes you think it wasn't under one of the Role Holder's orders or a faction wanting to use you against them? And that, when it's not even your game."
"Yeah, of course, it's all your choice." Jackie said with a faint wave of her hand, sipping on her drink as the Time Change shifted, changing to Dusk.
"And I'm not choosing any of those fucking bastards." Aria declared in an ending tone, "never, ever, would I chain myself to any of those imbeciles."
"Fine, I'm going to go around later and ask each of the Role Holders what they think of you then." Jackie huffed, "I just think you're being overly paranoid."
A loud scream from the entrance made both Aria and Jackie jump as they look over, seeing Fiore coming out of the cafeteria, his tail wagging while with a happy blushing smile on his face he clung onto a young woman who desperately was trying to get away from him.
"Hello, Spiced Cider. You smell nice. Would you like to come with me? I'll be a good boy. I just need some company." He cutely flickered his ears and dashingly smiled before kissing her lips but she grabbed his face, struggling to push him away.
"F-Fiore?" Jackie said, startled and surprised to see him hanging onto a young woman before she whipped around and slapped him.
"Get off me, you weird, ugly mutt!" She shouted, shoving him off and quickly backing away as Fiore laughed.
"You are so feisty, my Spiced Cider!" Fiore smiled brightly.
Jackie got up, walking over to him. He was acting weird; almost as if he was drugged. Her eyes widened. Did something trigger it? Here, of all places?
(He was supposed to wait inside until I gave the signal) Aria stood up and whistled, catching Fiore's Attention "Come here, Rico!"
"Yes, my Lady!" Fiore cried, jumping towards her before Aria dipped out of the way.
"WAH!" Jackie shouted, startled as Fiore tackled her over against the table. Jackie sorely grunted, falling onto the ground as Fiore tightly hugged her with his tail wildly wagging behind him.
"I'm not weird and ugly, I'm special and unique," He happily cried as he nuzzled against Jackie, whining faintly as he rolled his body against her lovingly, "you're so soft, mi amore (my love)!"
"F-Fiore, what's the matter with you?" Jackie asked, trying to push his head away but he held onto her quite tightly.
"Of course you are, Rico, you are a very special puppy." Aria leaned down to pet his ears. The moment his Lady touched his ears, his eyes sparkled with unparalleled happiness, almost as much as a dog being given a very fine treat.
"Yes, I am!" He happily exclaimed with a happy canine whine, rolling against Jackie more with his excitement as she struggled to pry him off.
"Now tell me, what did you drink?" Aria asked while petting him.
"Just a sip of delicious coffee," he whined, pulling on Jackie's top before licking between her breasts, making her jump before she grabbed it ear and pulled on it, making him yelp with a sensual groan.
"So coffee triggers it, huh?" Aria tilted her head, then she grabbed Jackie's ear and pulled on it, "don't mistreat my puppy, Jackie."
"Ouch! Don't pull!" Jackie snapped at her, standing up and dragging Fiore with her. He staggered against her, whining excitedly while stepping back and forth on his feet excitedly and deeply breathing with his head buried in the engineer's chest. She hugged his head close, trying to stop him from moving as he began dragging him towards the doors, "c-come on, Aria. We need to get him out of here."
"Actually I'll leave that to you. Since you got that drug on him it's also your job to take care of him now." Aria approached to pass her hand over Fiore's head and his ears, lightly petting him as he cheerfully smiled like a young puppy. "So take care of him, Jackie. He's a good guy and super cute."
"W-Well at least help me get him to his apartment!" Jackie snapped at her as Fiore leaned more heavily onto the engineer with a tight hug. "H-H-H-He's heavy!" Jackie grunted, trying to hold him up as he leaned more onto her.
"Ok. Wait a minute." Aria went inside to grab the coffee he had been drinking. After analyzing the drink she found it to really be just regular iced coffee with extra sugar in it. Nothing out of the ordinary. It seemed not only alcohol but coffee too triggered the effects of the drug. She left the building with the mug, simply following Jackie's prudish complaints.
"F-Fiore-!" Jackie cried, startled as he grabbed her breast and deeply kissed her with his tongue slipping into her mouth. Her eyes widened, startled as she tasted the coffee on his tongue while it rolled around, feeling her mouth deeply. Jackie's cheeks flushed in embarrassment, her heart skipping a few beats before their lips parted and Jackie was able to cover his mouth with her hand despite him leaning forward to try and kiss her again.
"And he likes you back." Aria added on, watching Fiore fight for giving her affection and Jackie losing ground. Watching the prude struggle so much against Fiore fruitlessly made the mercenary grin in amusement. "He's a fine choice, Jackie. I approve and you have my permission to get on with him."
"I needed your permission?" Jackie frowned, leaning back and away from him as she felt his tongue licking at her palm, slipping between her fingers and making her shudder from the squishy sensation.
"Hey, Rico, drink the rest of the coffee. I paid for it, so don't waste it." Aria offered him the cup, expecting the results of the drug to deepen.
"Yes, My Lady!" Fiore cried happily, taking the coffee and downing the entire drink in one shot.
"W-Wait, hey! What if that's what caused this?! What if it gets worse?" Jackie asked, holding onto him firmly as he dropped the empty cup aside, wavering slightly with his smile twitching a bit.
"That's better for you but I'm examining the side effects more thoroughly so as to determine how to neutralize its effects." She said, beginning to record this.
"That's horrible! Don't use him like that!" Jackie snapped at him before he grabbed her head, connecting their lips quite passionately. She stiffened up, tightly gripping him in return and blushing even deeper as he moved her head back with consecutive deep kisses for a few minutes. Jackie's head spun before she forced herself away, heavily panting in surprise before glaring at Aria. "Help me get him to his apartment please." Jackie asked, feeling shy and embarrassed Fiore kissed her like that in front of Aria.
"Ok, and as I said, I approve so take good care of the puppy." Aria grinned, then whistled again. Her voice turned heavy with mana, influencing him deeply, "Rico, let's go to your den!"
"Yes, My Lady!" Fiore cried, tightly hugging Jackie back as he began trotting along to his apartment, his expression appearing feverish and hot while his tail continued to wag quite fast. The engineer tried to get free of his grasp but he held firm, dragging his beloved lover through the streets.
The Berceuse followed them from behind, curiously observing their behavior and reactions.

.
As soon as they reached the apartment the effects of the kissing had affected Jackie rather hard as well. The door burst open as Jackie aggressively pushed Fiore against the wall in his kitchen, gripping his hair while deeply kissing him. He wrapped an arm around her waist, gripping a breast through her shirt while rolling along the wall. As they continued to lavishly touch and kiss one another, Aria came walking through the door rather happily, locking it while moving around to get better angles of the hot action. She was so proud of her experiment that was getting it on with the prude! She would have to be sure to give him lots of treats.
"Why don't you two take it to the bedroom?" Aria suggested, thinking already on how useful Jackie was going to be to improve this experiment of hers.
The two hardly listened to her as Jackie almost ripped off Fiore's pants, gripping his waist before he gripped her hair. She let out a loud and vocal moan as Fiore pulled her hair aside, biting and kissing her neck quite roughly as his fingers dug into her back and held her firm. Jackie heavily panted, rolling her head back while grabbing him through his briefs. Her head was in such a dizzy mess that she could only want to get closer to him.
"Oh? So the effects are so deep that he can't concentrate … interesting." Aria grinned at the new variable, but since she didn't like not being listened to, Aria decided to 'help' on by getting the shadows to pull his briefs down and also remove Jackie's clothes.
Fiore rolled back, picking Jackie up with him as she laughed in a quite excited and carefree manner before staggering towards his room. He kicked the door open, laying her on the bed as Jackie grabbed his head and kissed him deeply. Jackie's hands moved fast to unbutton his shirt while his tail wagged like a flag to the world, his kisses soon focusing on her neck.
Aria began humming a catchy dirty song while channeling the mana to him, giving him extra energy but she stopped after just 2 verses, instead wanting to see how Jackie was affecting him. Aria quickly went around the room, making Aegis set up hidden cameras to record the proof of Jackie losing her prudeness. Even if the third foreigner couldn't remember it later, Aria would now have proof of what they do and she could study the effects better of a foreigner humping a faceless. The mana infusion was there but what was the rate? Direction? Was there some lost in the ambience? She was eager to observe the phenomena. She changed the filter of her optics with her eyes gaining a purple shade while she saw that Jackie was indeed giving off mana. Although a bunch of it got dispersed in the ambient there was still a decent amount entering the faceless and fusing in his existence, making his build more firm and defined. The Berceuse grinned. Now she knew what she was going to give Fiore as a treat.
Jackie let out a soft and sensual moan, staying on top of him while kissing his neck, lightly biting his flesh and digging her nails into his skin in a feverish rage before Jackie hopped on top of him and began making rather rigorous love to the faceless. Aria excitedly grinned, walking around the action and making sure to get close ups where appropriate while quietly cheering her prude friend on. Jackie was going to make up her debt quite nicely by helping Aria research the effects of a foreigner sleeping with a faceless and pumping mana into his body. Most faceless, even her notes, did not receive a lot of mana from foreigners given that they didn't get the chance to be near the foreigner, not to mention much of that mana radiating from foreigners was dispersed into the environment or attracted by holders. Even she had needed to come with a solution, therefore inventing her ruby pills of blood, which along with direct manaa had caused quite the important impacts in her family's physiologies and a capabilities, enhancing her beloved Lullaby notes beyond what any normal faceless could ever attain. But now, one of her notes was fortunate enough to begin capturing a foreigner and receiving the prime benefits of it. Aria was to say the least eager to proceed with some new experiments.
Aria grinned and licked her lips, watching as the couple locked together and Fiore pushed Jackie down rather aggressively to continue making hot loving. She grinned. Jackie was going to give her so many more chances to experiment with mana affecting faceless. Unlike her, Jackie had feelings - real and rather hard hitting feelings powered by overly visceral emotions that released strong bursts of uncontrollable mana, something that she was feeding directly into one of her successfully experimented on notes. Already she could see Fiore getting some rather delicious power ups from the mana being deeply and permanently infused into his clock and after image.
Aria's grin widened as she began imagining what other kinds of experiments she could use Jackie for, of course safe ones considering they had a contracted friendship that wasn't mutually exclusive with some of the most advantageous ways Aria could use her friend. After all, all of Jackie's eggs already belonged to Aria regardless since the birdie incident, making Aria very excited thinking about what kind of puppies the other foreigner would produce when she was ready for it, something Aria predicted would happen in time given how much Jackie was enjoying the relationship with one of the most cuddly, romantic and loving members of the Lullaby.
After writing a small note for them and setting it aside for them to read later, she stepped back and grinned at the beautiful snapshots before taking the liberty of taking many pictures of them to remember this occasion. Aria grinned before she left, leaving the couple to make for however long they can last - which Aria was curious about how long they'd last under the influence of the drugs.
That prude had better be thankful for all of Aria's hard work today. If Jackie wasn't her friend then Aria wouldn't be so nice to her like this.

Fiore woke up, being suffocated by something unknown. He grabbed whatever was over his face and squished the soft flesh, moving it around just enough for him to get some air and a take deep sniff that made him smile happily. Ah~ it was just the adorable foreigner. He grinned and hugged her, snuggling in closer to her.
Jackie let out a moan at the movement, shifting around and trying to push off whatever was grabbing her breasts rather tightly, groggily cracking her eyes open. She felt her skin stick to the sheets as she tried to get up again, unable to move very well due to her sleepiness and the tight grasp Fiore had on her.
Fiore hugged her and then rolled over, moving down to use her breasts as pillows after her legs spread with his lower body resting between them more comfortably. Jackie grunted and shifted around, trying to worm out from under him; the uneasy familiar sensation all over her body and feeling him between her legs made her shiver not from fright, but anticipation that she didn't want to be feeling. She was definitely sore. Oh so very, very sore. He held firm, kissing her soft doughy breasts rather happily.
"Morning … let's rest more … or hump more." He kept his smile while nuzzling, starting to place small kisses on her skin.
"W-We really need to stop doing this." Jackie heavily sighed, gently rubbing his ear to distract herself from how awkward and embarrassing this was. So yet again she found herself in the same bed as the faceless dog? … fox? Canine guy named Fiore. At this rate she was going to lose her mind over whatever the hell this drug was doing to her body. And like before, she couldn't remember what happened other than shoving him onto the bed and … and … Jackie's legs trembled as she very vaguely remembered what happened - but not much of it. She deeply blushed, entirely embarrassed as her nether regions twitched and heavily ached.
"Or do it more. I vote for that." He remained as he was, the sheet moving with his wagging tail as he whined needily, laying his head against her collarbone.
"No, I've got work." Jackie said, looking over at the clock for hope and found that it wasn't that long until her shift started.
"Me too but the Berceuse mentioned that you need to settle in here first." He said, licking his lips a bit before he gently sucked on her skin amongst his numerous kisses, taking advantage of Jackie's sleepy state which was too weak to force him off.
"Wait, what did Gowland say about me staying here?" Jackie asked with a frown. Being as fatherly protective as he was she had a hard time believing he was alright with her staying with Fiore.
"He was glad you were alright and told me to watch out for you. All's fine. He even gave you a few days off." His tail wagged as he inhaled her scent, barely stopping for a second before he began caressing her with one hand and maintaining the hug with the other. "He said you are only allowed to work at the underground area and that is because we swept it."
"Did he really?" Jackie asked, surprised. "Does he not want me in the park for a bit then?" Jackie asked with a frown.
"He doesn't want anyone targeting you and he thinks the park may be infiltrated. I agree there was internal assistance involved with the attempted assassinations. There were too many explosives used to blow your place." He explained in a professional manner before looking up to her with a sweet smile. "Do you want coffee or chocolate? Or chocolate coffee?"
"Yikes, sounds bad if he doesn't want me there." Jackie sighed, "um, wait, first, Fiore do you remember what you drank last night? You were triggered by something and I think I tasted coffee on your uh, mouth before we … well, yeah." Jackie pointed out, looking around the messy room.
"Mmh? Only coffee I think." He then abruptly stood up, sheer horror over his face. "NO! NOT COFFEE!"
"Well, since it triggered the drug somehow you shouldn't drink it. Who knows what will happen to you if the drug is triggered somewhere you're vulnerable." Jackie pointed out as she sat up, lightly gripping the sheet to cover herself. Ugh … she felt so exposed and open that it deeply unnerved her. Maybe buying a chastity belt will help in this weird drug situation.
He whined and whimpered a bit, staring at her in a pleading manner but her hard gaze did not relent in the least as she stared right back at him. His ears and tail drooped down, looking visibly very, very sad before he hugged her to comfort himself. "Good thing that you are here, then. That covers up for the coffee." He heavily sighed, sounding disappointed before he gently kissed her shoulder.
"What do you mean?" Jackie asked, puzzled as he kissed her jaws.
"It's just that I can't function in the morning unless I have my coffee or wake up with a beautiful woman beside me." He said with a straight faced smile. Jackie stared at him, waiting for the punchline but one never came. He was serious.
"That's ridiculous." Jackie frowned, poking his forehead, "no alcohol and no coffee. Crap, what if we have other triggers we don't know about?" Jackie asked aloud with a troubled frown.
"Well, I have a beautiful woman sleeping here with me, so I should be fine." He smirked and cuddled against her, trying to tug the sheet out of the way but she held onto her thin protection firmly, "but you're right. We should try different things to see if something else triggers it. We should go buy groceries and then try stuff out here in very small portions to see what affects us and what does not." He suggested in a playful manner, almost evoking a stern remark from Jackie before she actually thought about his words.
"That … does actually sound pretty good." Jackie admitted, thinking about it. Then they would know the triggers and what to avoid while under the drug's influence, "but first I need to go see the other Role Holders for a bit to get their opinion on Aria." Jackie said, trying to get out of bed, "and I'll take the bathroom first; I'll be fast."
"Their opinions of My Lady are irrelevant." He growled, showing his fangs as his hair and fur stood up, but he did move aside to let her get up the bed. "They already caused her enough damage."
"Yeah well it does to me. So uh, go ahead and get breakfast ready if you want while I get ready." Jackie said, slipping into the bathroom rather quickly.

It may have taken hours of convincing, promising and bribing but she finally did it; she had almost everyone's signature.
Jackie smirked as she walked through town with Fiore in tow, glancing over the finished petition. Every single one of the Role Holders didn't want to kill Aria at all; while some were neutral like Elliot and Gray, they others were actually quite eager to interact with her and get to know her. Other than uh, Nightmare who gave quite a creepy response but she was going to ignore it. Her grin deepened, turning a little more dark. No more running, Aria. You're going to freaking finish your game so I can start mine and get done with it already.
"Are we finished with those visits? What did they tell you?" Fiore asked with curiosity while holding the bags of goods he had bought while Jackie have visited all the Role Holders.
"Lots of varying responses but I got them to sign the petitions that they aligned with," Jackie said, showing him the paperwork, "either 'friendly', 'neutral' or 'kill'. Luckily no one signed the kill." Jackie breathed, relieved.
"Look," he started, sounding almost disheartened as he scratched the back of his head and relaxed his posture, clearly trying to think on how to word his response, "I may be just a faceless, but as someone from this world I should tell you not to trust them so easily." He sighed. "They would lie to a foreigner just to advance in the game. And when it comes to The Berceuse. They earned what they got. They should be grateful that My Lady had spared them for the time being." He then smiled. "Well, it's up to you. My Lady keeps you in high esteem, so she probably trusts you."
"Hopefully this at least proves to that stick-up-the-butt paranoid that they aren't aiming to hurt her." Jackie optimistically grinned.
"I wouldn't be sure about that." His ears went flat and he growled, "My Lady is careful for good reasons, so please don't talk about her grace that way."
"If she calls me nicknames like 'prude' all the time then I can go ahead and call her something since it's true." Jackie argued, "it's in the friendship contract," Jackie said with a dark grin, feeling as though she succeeded in countering Aria in at least one way.
"But you're not a prude anymore." He chuckled and gave a quick nuzzle to her cheek. "Oh well, if My Lady allows you to then I have no say in it. But I'll have to ask her what I should do if you call her that again." He walked closer to Jackie, "we already visited all territories, no?"
"All but the Circus and if I can get Joker's approval then I've got Aria in the bag." Jackie eagerly grinned, skipping her way towards the Circus now.
"Alright. I'll head back and start preparing stuff for us to try while you ask Lord Joker about whatever you need." Fiore smiled, giving her a kiss on the cheek before turning around "Be careful."
"I'll be just fine. I do small odd jobs for him and since it's not my game, he can't do squat to me. See you later." Jackie grinned before hurrying up down the path.

As soon as she got to the main tend the Jester appeared. "Good Afternoon, my dear. Are you here to work on some cells for Black? I don't recall him asking for you." White noted, pleasantly surprised by the visit.
"Actually I came to ask you if you are participating in Aria's game like a normal player and, well, ask you to sign a petition." Jackie took out the paper and extended it to him.
"But of course. Why wouldn't I be?" White smiled as he tilted his head slightly with a glance over the paperwork.
"I'm getting a petition together to prove to Aria that no one is trying to kill her and that everyone is friendly and wants to interact with her or at least they are neutral. How do you feel about Aria? Friendly, neutral or enemy?" Jackie asked, her eyes glowing.
"I'm Joker, what do you think I am to a foreigner in her game?" White smiled. "But I'm curious what everyone told you."
"Yeah, here," Jackie said, pulling out the papers and letting White have a look at them. "Sign the friendly one and I'll go take these to her."
"HA! How cute, you're actually getting something like this together for her?" He asked, glancing over the signatures. He was surprised no one actually wanted to kill her; in fact, most of them except for Elliot and Gray were quite friendly to the idea of getting to know her better.
"I wrote almost an 800 page friendship contract for that woman. Don't underestimate me." Jackie grinned as he glanced at her, noticing her raccoon eyes from skipping sleep.
"You don't need to take her this. I'm playing to win." White maintained his smile.
"You are? Then why don't you date her? I know she at least likes you so that's a start." Jackie grinned, getting excited. Aria and Joker were banging each other already so why couldn't they just get together? All Joker would have to do is get a connector on her. Jackie's eyes began to glow, making White tilt his head with a puzzled smile. Yes ... yes this will work perfect. "You totally should! I back it!" But at this point, she'd back up anyone.
"Date my best friend?" White tilted his head, his hat making a jingling sound. He had to admit that they often had quite delightful interactions with one another, whether it be negotiating or friendship building. Even the aftermath of the night where she became too drunk to be coherent was awfully fun.
"Yeah! It makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? And you agree that Aria should stop being so paranoid; it's just making her more antisocial, right?" Jackie suggested, trying to make him say yes.
White's smile slowly grew more softly sinister, formulating particular schemes that might just work on his lovely lady friend. Joker would be quite pleased to permanently have a woman like Aria be his wife. That would keep her happy and under relative control from going around and destroying the world, plus it would make both of him happy too. He already enjoyed her company too much.
"Alright," Jackie took the paper from him. "Well, I'll be going now, see you later, and think about it. Aria needs more love." Jackie bid farewell and went back towards her new housing for the time being.

Jackie returned to Fiore's apartment with some groceries, setting up for the taste testing before Fiore came in as well with four times as many groceries. Jackie's eyes widened, surprised.
"Whoa! Why did you get so many?" Jackie asked, looking into the bags and finding a lot of similar but slightly different variations of foods inside the bags.
"To test things out." He smiled and began taking things out of the bags. "Besides I needed to do grocery shopping anyways."
"Well, I guess a wide variety is good. But where should we start?" She asked, taking out a small bag of bitter candies.
"Let's put them by flavor types. Sour, bitter, salty, acidic, sweet … ," he took out some bowls and then unleashed the stuff in them according to the flavors.
They laid all of them out, separating the bags and treats into sections based on, as Fiore suggested, flavors ranging from sweet, sour, bitter, salty or else, all ready to be tested. Once the test was set up, Fiore went around his house and locked the windows and shut the curtains to ensure themselves some privacy.
"Okay," Jackie said, looking amongst the bowls and bags of everything that they had. She was very nervous to start at all, "maybe, what if one of us tried something and the other recorded what happens?" She suggested.
"Sounds fine, then the other takes a sample of the same thing. We need to know if there are extra differences." Fiore picked up a sweet caramel from his own bakery. "Wanna try this first or should I?"
"Uh … I'll go ahead first." Jackie said, picking up a sweet caramel for herself. "Oh, wait. You don't think genders determine different effects, do you?" Jackie asked, now suddenly a bit hesitant.
"We'll find it out soon enough. Go ahead and eat it." Fiore grabbed the notebook and got ready to write down results in a very professional way, showing his lullaby roots through and through.
Jackie hesitated before popping it into her mouth. They've eaten sweets and other food before so what could possible make this any different? The sweet flavor melted in her mouth quite quickly as she swallowed it. "Oh, should we time how long it takes to get affected? The other times it happened pretty fast, like under a minute maybe?" Jackie said, clicking her tongue to the roof of her mouth as she felt a slightly bubbly sensation in her stomach.
"Taking notes on that might be useful although spotting the start of the effects might be hard." Fiore sighed but went to retrieve a notebook that he placed on the table.
"That's true but at least we could time to see how long it takes from being 'normal' to complete break down of the effects taking place … and maybe record how long it last." Jackie said with her speech slightly slurring at the end as a faint blush rose to her face. She clammed up, becoming a little silent as she rubbed her eyes to try and dispel the feeling but it didn't work.
Fiore grabbed her hand and gave her a small reassuring squish. "Let's do it. And don't worry, the effects may be weird but they don't seem to be damaging, plus we are safe here."
" … I just thought of something. Why aren't we doing this in uh … i-in," Jackie began, having some trouble thinking straight, "secure environmens, like, like underground? And … and maybe we should have a witnessh?" Jackie suggested, feeling her tongue feeling a little fuzzy as the blush on her face brightened. " … I feel lightheaded." She admitted, finding herself a little short of breath as she lightly chuckled but otherwise tried to restrain herself.
"That was fast." Fiore scribbled something in the notebook. "I'm going to get those witnesses. He went to a night table and opened a drawer, pulling out something that looked like a crude mix between a walkie talkie and a primitive cell phone, and then put an earpiece on his flickering fluffy ear. "Hey Giorgio, can you and Fabio please come to my apartment? You know the situation, right? I need someone to keep track of the effects because we sure can't."
"Your apartment? Why your apartment? And you know not to drink alcohol or coffee. What is there to experiment on?" Giorgio asked, sounding quite confused.
"Because the effects are triggered by flavors, sweet, spicy, salty… and I have everything in my kitchen, and we are tasting" Fiore answered with a shrug.
"Do you have proof of that?" Giorgio asked.
"Yes, my proof is all sluggish right now." He snickered and letting his colleague listen to Jackie. "Hey Jackie, say hello to my very good friend" He called.
Jackie snickered and laughed, "hello, Mr. voice." Jackie laughed, deeply blushing and trying to restrain herself but once she began laughing she couldn't stop.
" … and you are doing this in your apartment instead of a lab?" Giorgio asked as Fiore heard what sounded like rummaging around, "stay there, we'll come get you and help move you to a lab to run some tests."
"Ok. I'll leave the door unlocked for you. And meanwhile I'll keep testing flavors to see if eating anything different changes the behavior." Fiore hung up and went to the foreigner to give her a hug. "It's going to be ok. I'll take notes on how long the effects last."
"Hm … you smell like, super good. Like chocolate and peanut butter." Jackie giggled and smiled, sniffing his neck and closing her eyes while enjoying the scent before lightly licking his neck. "Hmm~ you don't taste sweet though … more like a … cinnamon bun?" She questioned, numbly licking the same spot over and over again.
"Thank you. But you are even sweeter" True to his nature he flirted back before remembering the situation. "Why don't you try this? It's salty. Then we can try more things."

Fabio, a tall muscular and tan man with dark brown hair, and Giorgio, a leaner but more serious looking faceless with dirty blonde hair, opened the unlocked door, stepping inside to see Jackie lying on a nearby couch while Fiore was writing down some notes. She had a firm hold on his tail, acting slightly twitchy while Fiore looked up and saw the two coming in. "Perfect timing! We just got done with Jackie trying all the flavors. Sorry about the mess." Fiore chuckled as he stood up and walked over to them, leaving Jackie on the couch reaching out to try and reach his far off tail with her clothes quite disheveled.
"It certainly is a mess." Giorgio agreed, looking around the usually well kept room before Fabio took the notebook, flipping through some of the pages before finding an index.
Salty: mean or aggressive
Sour/bitter: sad or depressed
Sweet: mushy in love, corny lines and playful
Acidic: dominant
Spicy: Hot, like body is melting, languid and still
Sour-sweet: sadist / machochism
Alcohol: aphrodisiac
"This really is an interesting drug." Fabio admitted before looking over at Jackie on the couch and seeing her a little strung out. "And is that the result of all of the flavors being in her system?"
"Oh, no. It seems that the effects only stack up once or twice before the effects of the previous bit wear off. It's strange; the last flavor she had was spicy." Fiore answered, "which is why she is so languid now." With a gesture of his hand he waved it over to Jackie who was staring at nothing in particular and slightly panting from a false heat in the air. She was pulling on her shirt slightly, appearing to be trying to take off her clothes to cool her body off.
"You should have done this in a real lab." Fabio heavily sighed. "Doing it here in your apartment was a dumb idea."
"I didn't think of it until we had started." Fiore admitted with a shrug, "besides, this is a safe location and now you're here to see the effects for yourselves. We now know these are the effects on a female but now we need to know the effects on a male, me." Fiore explained, "and there's no one I trust more than you two." He grinned.
"And you trust I won't take advantage of those effects do something naughty to you?" Fabio grinned.
"Not now Fabio." Giorgio sighed. "You can flirt with Fiore and even propose a trio to the lady once this drug situation has been taken care off. I don't think Lady A has pronounced herself on the situation either. So just wait."
"Well, might as well get started." Fiore smiled as he picked up a pinch of salt and sprinkled it on his tongue. "I expect this to make me aggressive or mean but I am curious what it will do since I'm a male - if there are different effects entirely for a male." Fiore curious wagged his tail, feeling his clock twinge slightly. "I think it's already affecting me … a bit." He admitted as his tail stopped wagging.
"Does keeping up with a conversation help identify the changes sooner?" Giorgio asked as he flipped through the notes and found scribbles everywhere. He huffed, disappointed with Fiore's writing.
"Obviously." Fiore huffed as Fabio raised an eyebrow in Fiore's direction.
"That was fast and it was only some grains of salt." Giorgio began writing down the effects on a new page, finding the beginning state to be similar to Jackie's observation notes. "Annoyed seems to fit well with what you have written so far."
"Now imagine if you tasted some other salty something." Fabio chuckled. "I could help you with that, wolfy."
"I'll rip it off with a bite." Fiore growled, showing his fangs. "Can't you stop fucking harassing me each time you feel horny?" He snapped.
"Definite signs of aggression." Giorgio mumbled as he wrote down the notes in neater handwriting. "Fiore, how long did you let the sessions last for?" He asked, glancing over the number of ingredients and thinking to how long it took them to get there - he would guess about 5 min with each ingredient dividing the time evenly.
"Why would I leave you alone when you are so hot, wolfy?" Fabio chuckled. "I don't mind if you are a lady's mutt. I don't mind sharing and you know I don't mind playing either way." He laughed, enjoying edging the maned wolf on.
Fiore barked in response and kept on growling. Something completely uncharacteristically of him.
"I think we're good there; next." Giorgio said, glancing over the bowls and pulling out a small sour candy before tossing it at Fiore and watching him catch it in his mouth and aggressively chomp on the harder candy.
Fabio snickered, finding this to be rather fun before noticing an audible change in the foreigner's breathing. He glanced back, seeing her struggling to pull her shirt off which had gotten stuck around her head and shoulders. With a chuckle Fabio walked over to her, pulling off the shirt in one swift go before seeing her trying to remove her pants.
"It's too hot. Way too hot." She lightly panted as Fabio unclasped her pants and pulled them off as well before tossing them aside.
"Still feel hot, hm?" He chuckled before he walked back into the kitchen. As Fiore laid on the ground softly whimpering and crying, Fabio took a peek at the notebook and glanced over the effects before finding that sweet might give the foreigner a break from the temperature confusion her body was facing. He took a sweet little ball of chocolate and walked back over to her and helped her sit up. Her skin hotly glowed against his hand as he kept her propped up, feeling the light layer of sweat on her body before touching the sweet ball to her lips. She ate the cool chocolate, wrapping her arms around Fabio's waist and holding him there.
"You feel nice and cool." Jackie thrummed, closing her eyes and enjoying the temperature of his body.
"I'm always the cool guy." Fabio smirked and pulled her onto his lap, letting her wrap her arms around his shoulder and lay against him while staring at nothing in particular. The faceless hugged her back, leaning on the couch and soaking up the general presence of the foreigner. It was completely different than the imposing and overpowering presence of their Lady, and it also was different that the presence of Alice Liddell. He had only been close to the first foreigner only once, but he remembered her presence being more faint, perhaps because she had been accompanied by holders, but even so it felt different. Jackie Penske was something between an annoying kid and a confused little animal that was somehow adorable in a weird way.
"Ok, Fiore. Let's try some other flavor." Giorgio said while trying to feed Fiore but the maned wolf was rolling around on the ground whimpering
Fabio lightly licked his lips, now wanting to take advantage of Fiore while he was under the effect of the drug. Playing with all those different personalities of his would be a lot of fun.
Jackie lightly snickered, holding a hand against the side of his neck while she sniffed his skin. "Hmmm you smell nice. What cologne is that?" She asked with a blush on her face while keeping her arms wrapped around his shoulders. Jackie changed her position, sitting on his thigh as she very slowly combed her fingers through his hair before very gently nibbling on his ear.
"A special one form our finest lines." Fabio winked. "Mainly woody scents with just a hint of wild herbs."
"Your body is nice and cool … and I fit perfect against it." Jackie murmured, sucking on his ear tip, transitioning from her body burning up into a nice fuzzy state of feeling good.
"Of course you do." He smiled with all his charm. "By the way, would you like some action with me and Fiore? Maybe Giorgio too? I assure you we will treat you the best and make it perfect for you no matter if you want top, bottom or middle."
Before Fabio could do anything more, he noticed Fiore walked over him and took up the same position as Jackie did over Fabio's other thigh. "I would like some of that action. And I wouldn't mind if you decide to be in the middle." He blushed and hugged him, wagging his tail as Fabio held their hips in place and felt his face lightly blushing as well in complete and utter happiness over what was happening right now. On one leg he had the prized third foreigner and on the other, one of his best friends he'd love to take for a ride. All of the attention began making his clock race as he eagerly took a cheeky grab from both of them and held them close while alternating kissing the both of them.
Giorgio heavily sighed and began walking over but not before Fabio glared at Giorgio, clearly conveying the message to Giorgio to not interrupt perhaps the greatest fantasy he had ever had in his life - right next to the fantasy of being personally praised for a job well done by his highest lady, lady Aria.
"Don't kiss them on the mouth, you might get infected too." Giorgio warned as Fabio gave Fiore a very light hickey on his neck before turning to the foreigner and giving her one as well on her collarbone.
As Fabio did that, Fiore tipped Jackie's head his way and kissed her, holding the back of her neck to keep her head steady before she grabbed his shoulders and kissed back. Fabio and Giorgio both flinched, feeling the stronger release of mana as Jackie more deeply kissed the manned wolf.
"Wow, what was that!?" Fabio whistled.
"It is - more than the pills our lady created." Giorgio noted, flipping to the back of the notebook and writing down the effects happening to his body; he felt his clock ticking harder and stronger just by being in close proximity. "It really is shocking how much mana a foreigner can emit. I've never felt mana release like this from Aria or Alice; but then again, I've never been close enough to them while they were intimate to feel such a thing."
"Can you imagine what that would be?" Fabio was breathing hard.
"Hmmm, if we stay close to them while she is releasing this kind of absurd amount of mana, I imagine it will permanently affect us." Giorgio pondered, tapping his chin in thought. "After this session concludes we may want to go in and get ourselves evaluated to see if we do have any permanent boosts just by being in close proximity to the mana releasing."
Jackie's fingers slipped inside of Fiore's shirt, messily unbuttoning it before hugging him closer. Fabio encouraged the both of them to get closer but remain over him as they began to lightly grind their bodies against one another in a slow motion. Fabio grinned and massaged their sides, slowly sliding his hands closer to both prizes. The opportunity was right there for him to live out a fantasy and he wasn't going to pass it up.
"You think Lady A would pay us a bit more attention if that happened?" Fabio began fantasizing even more.
"Hard to say. But I wouldn't mind if she checked our levels herself. However that will most likely fall to the researchers." Giorgio sighed before he noticed Jackie slumping over slightly. Fabio looked up, seeing the couple sleepily flop over with Fiore landing on top of Jackie onto the couch, Jackie passed out and Fiore happily whining and cuddling her while Fabio's jaw dropped slightly at the missed chance. He hesitated before looking over to Giorgio, "no." Giorgio immediately stated with narrowed eyes.
"Nooooooooo … ," Fabio whined, seeing his fantasy passed him by unfulfilled.
"Let's put them to bed; Fiore might crush her." Giorgio said as he lifted Fiore off of Jackie and picked her up, heading over to the bed. With a careful toss of the blankets he laid her down, letting Fabio walk over set Fiore down in the bed as well. As soon as they felt each other's warmth, Fiore pulled Jackie into a hug and very gently kissed her with his tail wagging in happiness. Giorgio smiled at the cute scene before tossing the blankets over them and picked up the notepad. "We should take this back to the researchers and see what they can make of this information." Giorgio suggested, looking back and seeing Fabio intensely staring at the cuddling couple. "Fabio, no. Violating them in their sleep will not be a fantasy fulfillment - not to mention our lady may have your head if you hurt the third foreigner."
"Fabio yes." He huffed before he took off his pants and shirt.
"Fabio. No." Giorgio narrowed his eyes, watching as the nude man hopped into the bed with the couple and began spooning Fiore. The faceless groaned in annoyance, pinching the bridge of his nose. Fabio was a very stubborn man.
"Why don't you just come in here too? It's not as if we haven't gotten drunk and ended up sleeping in a pile." Fabio told Giorgio, moving the sheets for him. "And maybe we can get some small boosts just by cuddling. Who knows? I'm really not doing more tonight."
Giorgio hesitated, curious about the effects of sleeping in the same bed as a foreigner. It could certainly lead to interesting results. " … very well. Tomorrow we go give this information to the researchers and show them any changes in our bodies as well." He said, walking over and slipping out of his clothes as well before moving in to cuddle with the foreigner. He hugged her, finding her to smell quite pleasant as he felt his body relaxing next to her soft, warm body.
"By the way, I'm going to give Fiore a helping hand. You know how bad is for the puppy if he doesn't let it out." Fabio licked his lips as his hand went between Fiore's legs. No way was he not taking some kind of advantage of … er, helping, his friend in this kind of situation.
Giorgio let out an aggravated sigh, trying to get the image out of his head as he placed his head against Jackie's breasts to sleep and block out the sound of Fabio's help.

Half a time change later, silent steps that fused with the darkness of her own shadow helped the Berceuse get into Fiore's apartment undetected. Not that she needed to be that careful considering all the many questionable variants in the room that would later need explanation, such as the assortment of many different flavors on the counter.
"Whoops, looks like I wasn't in time to prevent them from eating anything for a couple time changes." She chuckled, hearing very light snoring from the other room. With a sneaky grin she peeked inside to take a look at the state of the lovely couple before noticing two other notes there in the bed.
"M-My lady!" Fabio quietly gasped as he shot up in the bed, holding a pistol which he quickly shifted back into his bracelet. His face paled in horror. He did not expect Lady Aria to see them in the same bed as the foreigner. Fiore had permission to bed the foreigner; he and Giorgio did not. And of course the logical conclusion that she would leap to in seeing this is that they slept with the foreigner. He remained frozen in horror, unable to speak as Giorgio sat up, revealing himself and bowed his head slightly in Aria's direction.
"My lady." Giorgio greeted, trying to hide the terror in his voice. They might get killed right then and there. But he did not fear death; rather, he felt lucky it may be by Lady Aria's hand his life is taken from him, should she decide it. He loved the Lullaby dearly and felt very fulfilled to be a part of it for as long as he was.
"That was a very quick reaction, Fabio. I'm surprised you didn't shoot right off given that you were sleeping. A great reaction indeed." Aria smiled, catching on the scene better with the two extras shirtless and assumingly naked notes with Jackie and Fiore. "And I assume you were here helping Fiore, right Giorgio? Would you please report to me the situation?"
Fabio bright blushed, startled by not only the compliment but by the fact she remembered him. "Th-thank you, my lady." He stammered out, feeling his clock skipping some extra ticks in his happiness of her praise.
"Yes, my lady." Giorgio spoke, completely embarrassed. "Fabio and I were on a break when we received a call from Fiore. He and the third foreigner had begun personal experimenting with the drug influence they are under and had discovered different flavors can affect their mental psyche. He asked for us to come as witnesses of the experiment and so we did. We recorded the results and, being tired once we were finished, joined them in their bed to sleep before bringing the results of what was recorded to Lullaby researchers to further investigate the concoction of drugs they have consumed."
"Can you describe the reactions you observed?" Aria placed her hand under her chin. "And … did you two and/or Fiore had intercouse with Jackie during this experiments?"
"We did not, my lady. We were, however, witnesses to quite a bit of mana being put off by the foreigner as she and Fiore engaged in foreplay. They fell asleep before they could actually perform coitus, however." Fabio dutifully explained to her.
"The results were recorded on a notebook. All main flavors were explored along the type of emotional reactions hey generate." Giorgio added.
Aria let out a sigh in disappointment. "Such a wasted opportunity … ," she then looked at her cards with a sly smile. "If the chance presents itself you can do her as long as it's consensual, you know? And don't mind me. Just keep sleeping with them. Oh, but I'll personally be checking the effects her mana had on you and perform some tests later, so be prepared to come to this country's HQ soon."
Both of their jaws nearly dropped in shock before they very quickly answered her, "yes, my lady!" They both spoke at the same time with quieted enthusiasm with a slight head bow in her direction.
Aria smiled as both of the faceless laid back down, enthusiastically cuddling their chosen partners as Aria walked into the kitchen and picked up the notebooks, flipping through it and reading the notes taken inside of it. Once reading through it she pocketed it and left, going about her business while looking forward to reviewing the film of Jackie waking up the next morning.
