Olive gets in over her head and learns about what's at stake. Please review!
Olive needed to blink a few times to realize what was happening. From the clear blue sky, the heat, to the very grassy ground beneath her. This was either the most realistic VR she'd ever seen or it was for real.
She took the adventurer's hand; Ruby was surprisingly strong, hoisting Olive up with little effort but then again she was a video game character so it wouldn't be impossible. Olive was still getting her bearings. Looking around like a lost puppy at the vast jungle behind them, the vast and open spaces and a huge mountain/volcano.
"You must be my partner slash explorer slash animal expert slash technician!" She said enthusiastically.
Olive was still in a state of shock, "Uh...yeah. Olive," she said, shaking Ruby's strong hand.
"Olive," she repeated, likely never having heard of this name before. She looked up at the sky as if she was processing data. Finally she faced her again, "Oh my, here let me help you." She brushed some grass that was stuck to her shirt, slapping her chest roughly and then turning her around; Olive felt uncomfortable as her back and butt was rubbed down. "There good as new!"
"Uh, thanks," Olive adjusted her glasses.
"Maybe later you can help me wash in the hot springs. I always have trouble reaching my back." She started walking up a path. Olive stood there awkwardly for a second. Why on Earth would she say that? Ruby turned around and saw she hadn't moved, "Come on, Olive and don't forget your pack."
Olive looked down at her feet where a large backpack had just appeared. It looked extremely heavy but when she went to lift it it was fairly light. Video game logic. She followed behind Ruby. For some reason she couldn't get over the rythm of her body, the way she moved those hips, her short shorts sticking out at Olive.
"Um, Miss Roundhouse..."
Ruby laughed, "Oh, Olive, you can call me Ruby."
"Ruby..."
"Ya huh?"
"Um, is your outfit really appropriate for the jungle?"
Ruby took a second to think, "Hm. Well it does have its advantages. Heads up!"
Olive looked around and out popped a gang of tough looking bounty hunters. Ruby jumped into action. Olive crouched down and watched Ruby; she looked like she was literally dancing and fighting. She was all legs! Once every one of them hit the ground, their bodies disappeared. Olive walked over to Ruby, speechless. Ruby cracked her knuckles and neck.
"Wow."
"All in a day's work," Ruby smiled.
Olive was still unsure about her enemies and the sudden disappearance.
"So where do they go?"
"Beats me," Ruby shrugged, "But they'll be back. I always fight the exact same four guys. Van Pelt knows I'm here. We should continue to the sacred temple. I just hope we have enough time to set up camp before night fall"
"Right..."
Olive followed closely by Ruby's side into the scary, Tim Burton like jungle. She wondered right away if there was any bug spray in that pack. Everything gave her the creeps, she was such a wimp.
"What's the deal with this Van Pelt guy anyway?"
"Oh. We used to work at the same university. He was really cool but then got obsessed with finding the sacred gem in Jumanji. Legend has it it can control all living things here. It's up to find it, Olive..."
"Wow...so you must really want to find this."
"It's not about the reward. I really do care about wild life. I don't want anything to happen here. If I have to kill him I will."
Olive was impressed by her, even if she was a video game character. Everything here seemed so real though; could it have been possible it was a different reality? Maybe it was real in a different sense of the word.
"...Anyway she sucked the poison out and I never felt better. I was so embarassed to be that exposed but we both agreed never to tell anyone about it."
"Huh?" Olive said. She was at a loss.
"Oh while you were staring off into space I thought I'd tell you a story about the time I got bitten by a snake on a very sensitive area and my older female professor had to assist me."
Olive, slack jawed, looked around to see they had jump cut to the entry way to the temple. "Um...think you could tell me again."
"Oh, Olive!" Ruby laughed, "I just did that to get it off my chest. I could never repeat it in a million years."
She walked up to the entrance, leaving Olive standing there perplexed, "Right," she chuckled.
"Do you know of anything we should look out for?..." Ruby stopped just before walking into the temple. Olive stood beside her and saw nothing but a black void. No light whatsoever. She looked at Ruby. Stiff as a statue. She didn't even blink. Then like a robot she repeated. "Do you know if there's anything we should look out for?...Maybe you should check your pack."
Olive nearly jumped back, that was really weird. It was as if the game's programming had taken hold of her and her personality was trying to come through. Olive took a look in the pack and sure enough found a map of the temple. A blueprint but some rooms were missing or incomplete.
"There might be blow darts but it's every five feet. We'll have to time it every time and make a run for it and then hug the wall, repeat until we make it to..."
"To what?"
"It's blank...at least maybe for now?"
Olive tagged along. Ruby was very protective of her assistant, keeping her close to her side. Olive reached in the pack for a flashlight or something to guide them only to end up pulling out a fully lit torch for Ruby. Ruby did not question how that would even be possible, she didn't question anything out of the ordinary, she was all about the mission.
The blow darts shot out of the wall. Ruby held her arm out, stopping her companion from making another step. "Now!" She grabbed Olive by the shirt and pulled her over to the free space in the wall. They pretty much had to hug tightly in order to avoid getting hit; Olive's face was nearly pushed into the adventurer's chest. "Ok. Again." On the last one Olive lost her balance and pushed Ruby into the gap and cushioned her hands against her breasts. For three seconds, Olive had this woman pressed against the wall and a bit taken off by the suggestive act.
Olive took back her hands. "Sorry!" Her hands still sticking out she backed away, "I...it was..."
Ruby simply laughed it off, "That's ok...I'll let it slide this time," she said, winking at her.
Olive was blushing hard. She distracted herself by checking the map. A threeway corridor appeared on the map. Sure enough they were now standing at that exact spot.
"Which way do we go?" Ruby looked over Olive's shoulder.
"Well if we go to the one to the left it looks like we'd be heading into quick sand. The one straight ahead is blank and the one to the right has a picture of a tiger."
Ruby put a hand to her chin, she looked deep in thought and then turned to Olive, "Which way do you think we should go?"
"Uh...Y-you want me to pick?" Ruby smiled and nodded. Olive wasn't sure why she would pick her to decide especially when it was life or death. "Well...I mean it doesn't say what's straight ahead so I guess we can try that one."
Ruby happily agreed and they walked through with the still lit torch. Everything seemed fine until they got to a literal end of the road. They looked down to see a massive pit of lava. There was nothing to get to the other side of it but a broken bridge.
"Dang," said Olive, "I guess that means quicksand."
"What about the tiger?"
"Uh...are you going to fight it?"
"I've fought jungle cats before."
"What if there's more than one?"
"Hmm, well I've fought two but not at once before. So..."
"You know what? I bet there are no tigers. Maybe that one is just a test. I mean it's an abandoned temple there wouldn't still be tigers."
They journeyed into the tunnel leading into the supposed tiger pit. Not even a minute went by and they both ran out. They caught their breath at an ancient wall that had a rather dusty statue filled with hyrogliphics.
Olive noticed a tattoo on Ruby's arm. Two black lines. She had no other markings on her so it was kind of odd. "Hey...are you ok?"
"Yeah. Think one of them must've taken a claw to me."
Then it hit Olive, "Right. Three lives."
"Huh?"
"Nothing. Maybe we should take a break before...whoa!"
Ruby caught her looking at the statue, "Yeah. I guess they were into big girls, eh?"
Olive checked her pack. She found a sketch of the statue right away. It was a diagram that showed what to do to open up a secret passage. Apparently they just had to press on the statue's breasts to get the wall to slide.
"But this statue has no boobs, see?" Ruby pointed to the missing spaces of where it's breasts should be.
"Hm. Perhaps something of equal size and weight needs to be put in them...," she looked down at Ruby's chest and pondered its size.
"Um, Olive? I'm up here."
"Sorry...just thinking..."
Ruby looking down at her well proportioned breasts, "I swear they've gotten bigger recently," she lifted under her breasts with both hands. Olive chuckled at her handy work. "You really think it will work?"
Olive scratched her head while staring at Ruby in a daze, "Yeah its worth a try."
Ruby took her shirt off, revealing her large, double D breasts in a black push up bra. Olive swallowed hard, her nerves were shot.
"You'll need your bra off too...," Ruby shot her a look, "...the natural weight of them...you know?"
Ruby agreed, but turned away from Olive as she removed her bra. Olive meanwhile was wiping the sweat from her forehead. "Do you mind holding these?" Ruby passed her bra and shirt over to the stunned nerd.
"S-sure."
Olive watched Ruby face the statue. "Sorry, Miss, I know we don't know each other too well." Olive laughed at her joke. Ruby placed her breasts into the empty cups. She groaned. "I'm not sure this is going to work. I think they're too big to fit." She pushed and groaned some more.
Olive knew the answer. "Here. Let me help." Olive pushed her into the statue further, trying to be gentle. Ruby groaned a little, her breasts being squeezed up to her chin and all. Finally something clicked and the wall slid open.
"You did it!" Ruby declared. With one arm extended across her breasts to cover them, she high fived Olive with her free hand. She quickly coveted up again and stepped into the dark tunnel. Olive held onto Ruby's belt. Nothing on the map was showing up, either they were headed for this sacred jewel or their deaths.
They turned a corner and..."AAAHH!"
Ruby almost bumped into a man. "Whoa!" He shouted.
Ruby instinctively backed Olive away, shielding her. Both Ruby and the man stopped to look at each other for a second.
"Quil?"
"Ruby?"
Ruby then jumped at him, hugging him tightly. "Where the heck have you been?"
"Me? What about you?" They both laughed and carried on, forgetting Olive was even there. Of course now Olive recognized his mug, Quil Ryder, the slab of beef from the intro. She wasn't sure why but she hated him already.
To be continued...
