Things seem to finally be slowing down a bit after the trip to the Sekirei world. We're finally settling into our new normal routines. I'm sure that will change next time we get a bunch of new members of our family, or something else shakes up the dynamic, but for now we're just focused on making steady progress.
Last night was Bisky's first night with us all. We had already had sex during the day, so Bisky ended up taking a more supportive role in the nightly orgy, focusing on enhancing the others' experiences until it was her turn. Levy tended to do that too, actually. I guess that's just a difference between purchased and naturally obtained waifus?
With five of us having sex with each other, things got pretty loud. Kusano is usually pretty quiet, but Matsu and Levy are both very vocal, Matsu more so than Levy. And as amazing as Kusano's work was when she made the house, the walls didn't block sound very well. So I had no doubt that Chiho and Uzume, whose bedroom shared a wall with ours, heard us.
Especially since, a bit after we got started, I certainly was able to hear them. Chiho was surprisingly vocal as well, though I heard them both pretty clearly.
It was a very interesting atmosphere, with two groups having sex and being aware of the other one but not coming together. The two of them would join us sooner or later, I was sure, but not yet. Last night we remained separated, but only by a thin wall.
After our nightly orgy, during which I managed to keep my Ten active without issue, we all fell asleep in a hot and sweaty pile of bodies. I had girls clinging to each of my limbs and Bisky, the smallest, laying directly on top of me. It was a lot more comfortable than it sounds, actually.
What was less comfortable were the targeted spikes of killing intent Bisky would send my way any time my Ten dropped during my sleep, which was at least a dozen times. I have a long way to go before I can sleep with it active.
Breakfast was another fruit salad. It's actually a pretty refreshing first meal of the day, and the inclusion of blapple and oranut slices means it's filling enough that we can skip lunch, giving us more time to get work done. I'm not giving up dinner though. Even if our meals aren't the most exciting, it's a good end cap for our day, and it's nice to have everyone come together and enjoy it.
…oh god, I sound like my mother.
Uzume had a slightly awkward air to her during breakfast. "So uhh…these walls are pretty thin, huh?" she asked as she ate.
"I'm sorry," Kusano apologized, shoulders drooping.
"No no! I'm not blaming you or anything!" Uzume insisted, panicking to reassure the younger Sekirei. "Just…I was just noting that sounds travel through them pretty easily."
"Ufufufu," Matsu snickered. "Indeed they do."
"It's no different than when we were in just the tents," I commented before Matsu could instigate the situation. "If I asked you to stop, would you?"
"Absolutely not," Chiho answered in Uzume's place, causing Uzume to blush.
"I feel the same way," I said with a nod. "So we'll just be mature about it. It's gonna happen. I promise we won't stay up too late and keep you up. I need my sleep too after all."
"Yeah, yeah, I know," Uzume said. "Just… felt like it needed to be addressed."
"You know what also needs to be addressed?" Matsu suddenly said, surprising all of us. "This rule of having to wear panties! Matsu is sick of it! We're on what is basically a deserted island, we should be embracing that survival nudist lifestyle!"
"Matsu," I started, tone stern.
"I think that's fine," Chiho said, cutting me off. "I mean, we're pretty much naked already, and we hear each other have sex… I think we're close enough for a little nudity to be okay. If you want."
"Hell yes!" Matsu said, reaching down to her hips and starting to slide her panties off.
"Matsu, hold on a minute," I told her, exasperated, before turning to Chiho and Uzume. "You're both fine with that?"
"Well…" Uzume said, looking around the table. "It's not like I'm that shy about my body in the first place, so if she's fine with it, then I'm fine with it too."
I suspected their motivation was a bit more lewd than they were letting on, just based on the way I'd seen both of them checking out the others when they didn't think anyone was looking. Not that I blamed them, I spent a lot of my idle time just watching my retinue, soaking in the sight of their naked or nearly naked bodies.
Now with the two of them in my retinue, their interest in me and the others would only increase. Mostly in me, but intra-harem relationships were also encouraged. If they wanted to see the others, and me, naked, then I was more than happy to agree with that. It would only push them towards officially joining my harem even faster.
"Alright, if you guys are sure," I said before turning to Matsu. "You can- oh okay, nevermind, you've already done it." Matsu had ignored me telling her to wait and finished stripping. "Don't put your panties on the dinner table, go put them away in our room or something."
"Yes, Ashikabi-sama," she replied in a sing-song voice before getting up from the table, panties in hand. She headed for the hallway that led to the bedrooms and I realized I definitely underestimated the effect of not wearing panties. Her ass was on full display, her round cheeks mesmerizing me with their movements as she walked and her hips swayed.
I then looked up to see her smirking over her shoulder. She knew full well what she was doing, and she wanted us to look. And I certainly wasn't the only one. Uzume and Chiho were both staring, probably with the same intensity as I had been.
Once Matsu was out of sight I turned to the others. "Anyway, update to our dress code policy, I guess. Wear as much or as little as you want."
The others nodded. Kusano even stood up and stepped out of her panties as well, uncaring of the eyes on her as she did so before heading to the room to put them away.
"Anyone else?" I asked, more amused than anything else, as she left the room.
"No thank you, I'm fine," Bisky said, still wearing her full dress. "Though next time we can, I would like to purchase more types of clothes."
"Sure, that won't be a problem," I said. "We need to do a lot of clothes shopping anyway."
"I'll do it after we finish breakfast," Levy said. "I'm not so eager that I have to strip right now. It can wait a few minutes."
Uzume and Chiho both nodded in agreement, and soon the other two Sekirei were back, buck naked. I had just seen them in that state when we woke up, but even so I couldn't help but to stare. Seeing them naked in a more 'public' place, insofar as the Skyblock could be public, was titillating in an unexpected way.
After breakfast everyone, myself included, stripped down before we got to work. Well, except Bisky of course. I wasn't sure why she wasn't into the idea of being naked, but I suspected it had something to do with her desire to be seen as a young girl, and her clothes were an important part of that. Or maybe she just preferred the feeling of cloth on her skin to air, who knows.
We all split up to do our assigned tasks. Kusano, Uzume, and Chiho all went to the farm to harvest more cotton. I suspect that Uzume and Chiho will refuse to separate for their tasks for the foreseeable future, but that was fine. Kusano needed all the help she could get.
Levy was multitasking, doing more research on the structures of different kinds of metals so she could produce them using her magic. She guessed that it would take a few days to a week of research for each kind, and she was prioritizing silver.
While she was doing that, she was also leading Tinks and VV through some practice. We had been slacking on their training lately, so she was drilling them on their moves. We talked briefly about it last night after dinner. She'll be making a daily routine for them to train with. Nothing too hard, we're not aiming to be Pokemon Champions, but enough to make sure they keep growing stronger at a steady pace.
Matsu is back on Jinki duty. Figuring that out would offer an immediate power boost to three members of our group, and could potentially be an even greater boon than teaching them Nen. She still wasn't making much progress though, something that was frustrating her. Unfortunately, there wasn't much I could do to help beyond continuing to encourage her.
Meanwhile Bisky and I continued my Nen training, taking up a spot in the common area instead of the bath like we did last time. I suspect she had just wanted some privacy for the lewd training methods she had used.
"Now that you have a basic grasp on Ten, we'll move on to Zetsu, that is to say, turning your aura off entirely," Bisky explained. "As you've seen, even if they haven't been Awakened, living people still emit a bit of aura, aura that you can see and feel. Zetsu is about closing your nodes so that they don't release any aura at all. Now, why would you want to do this?"
"Several reasons," I answered. "Primarily, so you can't be sensed by other Nen users, or in our case, anyone or anything that can sense life energy. And even to the unawakened, entering Zetsu creates a mild stealth effect. In addition, it also increases your ability to feel the aura of others, at the cost of not being able to see it anymore and of lowering your defenses of course. And finally it can help you restore your stamina faster, since your aura is even more contained than it is with Ten."
"Good, you really do understand the basics," Bisky praised me with a smile. "However, knowing the theory and putting it into practice are two very different things. If you work hard at it, you should be able to get it down by this evening. And to help motivate you, just know this. I can't show you the trick I promised yesterday until you can enter Zetsu completely."
"Motivation received," I joked. "So, how do I do that?"
"Focus on where your aura is coming from your body and feel the pores there. Once you have a better sense of them, will them to shut. This isn't something you do through aura, but a physical action, like moving a limb you never realized you had."
Her instructions were a little vague, but I didn't argue. I knew that Nen was just like that, vague and different for every person. Trying to be more specific would lead me to a method that either didn't work or wasn't very suited for me.
I won't go into full detail about my training, because it was kind of boring. I spent several hours sitting cross legged on the floor just trying to feel my aura better. In the mental image I was quickly coming to rely on for anything meditation or Nen related, it was like I was zooming in on the box that I stored everything in and examining the surface, looking for where the aura flowed from.
The answer was, of course, everywhere. I couldn't feel my aura nodes directly either, having to rely on trying to flex and tense in different ways and observing the changes in the flow of my aura.
It reminded me of stuff I read when I was younger about biofeedback, where you'd have sensors attached to you that would tell you stuff about your brainwaves and your heart rate and other things about your body, and you'd use those readings to learn how to control them.
Training Zetsu was pretty much the same thing, with me trying different things and seeing what it did. The first couple hours were equally frustrating and boring as nothing happened, no matter what I did. Bisky didn't offer any more advice, and just watched quietly.
But I kept at it, and eventually I did it. The flow of my aura decreased on a spot on my forearm.
I was so excited at the change that I accidentally let whatever I had done slip and the flow returned to normal. But I focused on that same area and repeated my earlier steps and managed to make it happen again.
It's hard to describe what I was doing. The closest I can think of is that I was tensing my skin, despite its lack of muscles. That's not quite right either though.
Still, even if I couldn't describe it, I could feel it. It was just a matter of feeling it for all of my nodes. That was a process that took another hour or two, gaining awareness of and closing all of the nodes all over my body. Bisky did help with that, especially as I got closer to having all of them closed, pointing out spots where aura continued to leak that I couldn't see and could still only vaguely feel.
Shutting the nodes in my eyes both hurt and helped. I wasn't able to see my aura anymore, but my sixth sense for feeling it did improve, which helped me track down the places such as on my back or the soles of my feet where aura was still leaking.
Eventually I reached a state of Zetsu, where all my aura was contained within me and not a single bit of it escaped.
"Good!" Bisky praised with a nod. "That is an acceptable Zetsu. Now open your nodes and go back to Ten."
I sighed, knowing what was coming, but did as she instructed. I relaxed the grip I had on my nodes, allowing my aura to flow once more, which I immediately captured and made sure it stuck close to me. In just a few seconds I was back to how I was before, with all my nodes open and my Ten maintained.
"Now enter Zetsu again, faster this time," she demanded, just as I knew she would.
I spent the next hour entering Zetsu, dropping it, and then entering it again, over and over. It was hardly the most thrilling training, but it was working. Each time I entered Zetsu I did so faster and with fewer missed spots that she had to point out.
It wasn't until I entered Zetsu several times in a row without any mistakes and in only a couple seconds each time that she was satisfied that I had the basics down.
"Good, now hold that while I explain what we'll do next," Bisky said.
I nodded. Unlike Ten, maintaining Zetsu wasn't difficult. At least, not in the same way. Ten felt more mental, as aura responded to my will more than anything. Zetsu was more physical, like I was clenching my entire body. I could feel that there was a bit of fatigue building up, but it was minimal and I doubted it would be an issue unless I maintained Zetsu for at least hours.
"You know what the next step is, right?" she continued.
"Ren," I said. "The opposite of Ten, the act of pushing aura out of your nodes and actively expelling it into the air so you can make use of it."
"That's right. Ten creates a shield, but Ren is like creating a tank. By releasing large amounts of aura you can greatly improve your physical strength, defense, and attacks. The downside to the technique is the cost, since expelling that much aura will quickly drain you. Training your endurance with Ren will be a core part of your training from here on out. But before we do that, there's one other aspect of Ren to focus on."
Aura exploded from Bisky without any warning, swirling in a storm around her. I flinched back, though it didn't come close enough to reach me. I couldn't see it, but with her so close and with how much aura was coming from her, that didn't matter. I could feel it strongly enough that I got a better picture of it than I would have with my eyes.
"Ren carries your emotions alongside it," she explained calmly. "To anyone without aura, or something similar, to protect them, that can be very dangerous."
I felt her aura move towards me and I braced myself.
But the overwhelming killing intent or malice or some other emotion like that that I was expecting never came. Instead I felt warm and comforted and loved. I looked at her in confusion, and she smiled.
"But just because it can be dangerous, doesn't mean it has to be. Most of the time Nen users are fighting each other, and the emotions they project are the ones related to fighting. Bloodlust, anger, killing intent, and so on. But your Ren can carry any emotion, even positive ones like love. Or even desire and arousal."
The feeling around me shifted, the metaphoric heat increasing as I felt like I did when having sex. My dick instantly stiffened and I could feel the blood pounding in my veins. But more than that, my eyes widened as I realized the implications of such a thing.
"Is this the trick you wanted to show me?" I asked, my guess based on the fact that she had said I needed to be in Zetsu for her to show me and the implication from yesterday that the trick was sexual in nature.
"Indeed it is," she confirmed with a smile, pulling her aura back and resuming Ten. I took that as a sign to resume Ten as well. "It's not used very often because, no matter the emotion used, exposing a non-user to too much of your Ren risks awakening them, usually improperly, and there are severe consequences for doing that in most contexts. But if you're careful and skilled enough to use a light touch, you can influence the emotions of a non-user with it. Even at its most subtle it can still be noticed by anyone paying close enough attention, but in the right circumstances it can be a useful tool."
"Yeah, I can think of a few ways that would be useful," I agreed. "But let me guess, I'm going to have to do a lot of training until I can use it like that, right?"
"Of course!" Bisky confirmed. "You probably won't have the control required to do that safely until you've started with Hatsu, and you won't be starting on that until you can maintain Ren for at least ten minutes. Normally that would take a month, but between Soul Talent and the restorative benefit of this place being your Demiplane, we can probably get you there within a week."
I nodded, suddenly excited at the mention of Hatsu. Hatsu was where Nen went from just basic power ups to almost JoJo levels of interesting powers and applications. It was the part I was looking forward to the most.
"Now, with your knowledge of Ten, you should find Ren easy to do. Instead of keeping it close to you, expel it outwards with as much force as you can. Though if you feel any pain, scale it back some. You can injure your nodes by forcing too much aura through them."
I closed my eyes, focusing on my mental image once again. I was getting more used to sensing my aura, to the point where it felt weird when I was in Zetsu and I didn't have it around me. Releasing my hold on it was also weird.
For a moment I was stumped there. I had figured out how to mentally hold it back, and to physically do so as well, but how did I push it out, physically or mentally?
I decided that willing it into being was the most likely answer, since most of Nen seemed to be based around using focus to control your aura, and it was only Zetsu that had a physical aspect. So I focused on the aura leaking out of the 'box' that was my mental representation of myself and I imagined turning a dial to increase the flow.
Sadly, that didn't work. The 'dial' that I created was nonfunctional. The next thing I tried was imagining pulling it out, like grabbing onto the aura that was leaking from me and yanking it so it came out faster. The shape and outline of my aura changed a little, but not the amount.
I took a moment to reflect, aware of the fact that, without my Ten, my aura was slowly leaking away. I frowned. Ren was the opposite of Ten, but opposite things were also usually very similar. The phrase 'two sides of the same coin' came to mind. And to maintain Ten I pulled it close to me, holding it. So, the opposite of that would be pushing it out.
I imagined a great pressure inside of the cube that represented me, one that would force the aura out of it, and there were immediate results. Aura flooded the space around me, just as it had for Bisky a moment ago, albeit at a smaller range.
Even sitting still I could feel the energy pumping through me. I felt like I could do flips or sprint an entire marathon and punch through a brick wall. Strength and confidence surged through and around me and I opened my eyes to marvel at my aura filling the air around me.
And then the flow suddenly slowed to a stop and all of that strength left me, leaving me more tired than I could remember ever having been before.
"Switch to Ten, now!" Bisky barked, and I did so immediately.
My chest heaved as I caught my breath, shoulders slumping as I leaned back and put my hands on the ground behind me to support my tired body. I felt like I had actually run that marathon I daydreamed about for a second. "Holy shit," I said between breaths.
"And that is Ren," Bisky said with a smile. "Overwhelming power, but only for a short time. Thankfully, it's relatively simple, if slow, to train your endurance to the point where you can maintain it for more than just a few seconds. That's what we'll be spending the rest of the day on. In fact, it's what you'll be doing for the foreseeable future. You will exhaust yourself with Ren, and then switch to Zetsu to recover your strength and train your ability to sense aura. While you are in Zetsu I will manipulate my aura into projectiles and I want you to sense them and tell me where I send them. Understood?"
"Yes Sensei," I replied, trying to go for an enthusiastic tone but it just came out sounding tired.
I closed my nodes, entering Zetsu, and Bisky lifted a finger. I could feel her aura and I could even feel it gather on her fingertip. Then, without her moving her finger, I felt the aura she was gathering zoom past me.
"You shot it on my left side," I said.
"Good. That one was easy, just to make sure you were paying attention. The rest will be much more subtle."
And she was true to her word. The strength of the aura she used in her shots quickly decreased until I could barely sense them. We fell into a pattern of her decreasing until I started getting them wrong and then she'd hold it steady there, repeatedly doing the same level until I was consistently sensing them before decreasing the strength again.
Our training was interrupted by the arrival of Kusano. "We finished!" she declared. "We gathered all the cotton, cleaned it, and we made beds!"
"Oh?" I asked. "Well, let's go check it out. If that's alright with you, Bisky-sensei."
"I'm just as excited for an improved bed as you are," she said. "Let's go Ku-chan, I want to see what you did."
The three of us headed for the master bedroom. I entered it to find two girls and two pokemon sprawled out on top of the new makeshift bed, limbs splayed. The new bed was massive, taking up pretty much the entire northern half of the room, and was big enough to hold twice as many people as it needed to right now.
It was also very simple, barely worthy of the name of bed. Two massive canvas tarps were laid out, partially overlapping each other and bulging upwards. They were kept tight against the ground using what looked like the tent pegs being nailed through the rings on the edges of the tarp and in between the roots that made up the floor.
Beneath the tarps I could see a layer of fluffy white mass, the cotton they had picked. It was a ridiculous amount of cotton, and it was no wonder it had taken them so long to gather it. In fact, it was impressive that they had managed to do it that fast.
"I assume Uzume and Chiho are currently enjoying a bed of their own in the other room?" I asked Matsu and Levy, the two laying down.
"Yes we are!" I heard through the wall behind me. I made a mental note that even casual conversation would pass through the wall before turning my attention back to the bed.
"Well, you all did a fantastic job," I praised them. "This is going to make our nights so much better."
"You haven't even tried it yet," Levy said. "Come lay down with us and take a short break."
I was still feeling tired from my use of Ren earlier, so I was more than happy to do as she said. I flopped down on the bed between the two of them. Kusano and Bisky followed suit, and I let out a sigh as I enjoyed the sensation.
It wasn't perfect. The cotton was a bit unevenly placed which created a lumpy effect and the canvas tarp was a little rough on the bare skin.
But it was miles better than the thin padding of the tent we had been using, or the sleeping bags. It was soft and cushioned and you sank just enough into it to relax without feeling trapped. It no longer felt like I was sleeping on the ground or camping or anything like that. It was a bed.
It's amazing how much the little conveniences of life can mean to you when you go a while without them.
"This is dangerously comfortable," I commented, eyes shut and already feeling at risk of falling asleep.
"Right?" Matsu agreed. "I just want to nap all day on it."
I forced myself to sit up with a groan. "Nope. Too tempting. There's still stuff left to do."
"Like dinner!" Kusano said, sitting up as well. "I wanted to try to make something again."
I looked out the window, noting the color of the sky. It was still blue, but there were hints of it starting to darken, so it was probably getting close to dinner. Training had made me lose track of time entirely.
"You know, if it's cooking, I can teach you the basics at least," Bisky said, sitting up as well. "It's not exactly my strong suit, but I'm used to cooking for myself, especially out in the wild."
"Really?" Kusano asked, excited. "I'd very much appreciate that!"
"Oh you are just the cutest," Bisky replied with a smile. "Come on, show me your cooking supplies and what ingredients we have."
"I'll come with," Levy said, also getting up. The three of them left the room, Kusano listing the types of things she had in the garden as they headed outside. Then it was just Matsu and me alone in the room.
"Roland-taaaaaaaan," came Matsu's voice from behind me, drawing out the honorific in a sultry tone. I looked over my shoulder at her to see her looking at me with a smirk, her hands and her boobs and her legs spread wide, showing me her pussy. "Won't you play with poor little Matsu?"
I had every intention of getting more work done, of getting up and continuing to work on my Nen, or going to help the others.
But, tired as I was, and with the lingering arousal from Bisky's demonstration earlier, I was easily tempted. After a moment of hesitation I grinned and climbed on top of Matsu, whose smile turned elated as I accepted her offer and locked my lips with hers.
Levy found us an hour later, both of us asleep with my dick still inside of Matsu as I spooned her. She didn't seem at all surprised as she woke us up and told us dinner was ready, and after cleaning up we made our way to the dining table.
I smelt it first, a familiar scent filling the halls, and I increased my pace. I wasn't sure what they had managed to make, but I was excited for it.
We entered the dining room to see everyone already seated at the table, save for Kusano who was standing next to our largest pot, which was placed where I usually sat.
"It's about time you guys got here, I wasn't going to wait much longer," Uzume said.
"What did you guys make?" I asked as I got closer. "It smells amazing."
"We made spaghetti! With meatballs!" Kusano announced excitedly.
My eyes widened and my stomach rumbled as I reached the table and looked into the pot. Sure enough it was filled almost to the brim with spaghetti noodles slathered in tomato sauce with a few meatballs visible poking from in between the noodles.
"Oh my god, that looks so good," Matsu said from next to me, summing up my feelings as well.
"Sit, sit, so we can get started," Levy said, pushing me down into the seat. I did as she said and everyone who wasn't already sitting down took their seats while Kusano doled out the food to everyone.
I received mine first, mouth watering as the golden bowl was placed in front of me with a heavy thud. I was eager to dig in, but I waited until everyone else was served.
Once Kusano had gotten a bowl for herself and had sat down, I wasted no time digging into it.
Speaking of appreciating simple things, despite it tasting like every bowl of spaghetti that I had ever had, it was also the best spaghetti that I had ever had. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder, and I didn't pause long enough to say a single word as I shoveled the delicious pasta into my mouth. And, judging from the fact that the only other sounds in the room were the sounds of people eating, I wasn't alone in that.
I only stopped when my bowl was empty, breathing in deeply before letting it out as a long sigh of contentment. "That was amazing," I said. "Probably the best thing we've eaten on this Skyblock."
"Absolutely," Levy agreed, letting her fork rest in her now empty bowl as she finished her last bite. "The two of you did good work."
"It was mostly thanks to Bisky-san," Kusano said. "She taught me how to do everything."
"Nonsense, all I did was instruct you, you did the rest of the work yourself," Bisky replied. "And I agree, you did an excellent job."
"Did you make the sauce yourself?" Uzume asked. "It was very good."
But Kusano shook her head. "We had some jars already. I guess Onii-chan bought some before winging me?"
I nodded. "In the Pokemon world. But our first attempt at just cooking noodles didn't go so well, so we never used any."
"We have everything we need to make our own sauce, a simple one at least. It just takes longer than we had today," Bisky said. "Which is a good thing because we used all of it to make tonight's dinner."
"Well, the portal opens in a few days," I said. "With any luck it'll be somewhere we can shop. Make a grocery list and we'll pick up everything we might need for that and other things."
Bisky nodded once. "You've got a pretty good foundation, we just need people and tools to start turning the raw ingredients Kusano can provide into their more useful forms, such as oil. We also need salt. A lot of salt, not the little shakers you have already. Butter as well, if we had that I could have made some garlic bread to go with it."
I sat up straight at that, and so did a few of the others. "We'll get as much as we can reasonably store," I promised. "Bread too."
Bisky smirked. "Good. Now, if you don't mind, I would very much like seconds please."
She wasn't the only one, everyone also wanted seconds. There wasn't enough for everyone to have another full bowl, but we divvied up what remained and scarfed that down as well, feeling pleasantly full of delicious food.
After dinner we all just relaxed, the mood high after a satisfying meal. The normal bath rotation got started, and of course I started writing this journal entry.
There's only two more days until the next portal opens, just as things are starting to calm down. I guess that's the cycle I signed up for though. I've been spending a lot of time wondering where we'll end up, there are so many possibilities, both of worlds I know and worlds I don't.
I might not write a journal entry tomorrow if nothing interesting happens. It looks like my Nen training is going to just be focused on improving my endurance and senses instead of learning anything new, and the others are just going to keep working on their projects. I've overheard Levy talking to Chiho and Uzume about some plans to create some furniture, like frames for the cotton beds and bookshelves, so they'll probably work on that.
So, next time you hear from me will be after the next portal trip most likely. See you in a few days!

AN: Next chapter will probably be the portal trip, since the next day will just be people continuing to work on their projects and/or training and the day after that is their customary rest day. This week has been kinda slow, but a lot has happened in it.
