The group (Apparently calling themselves 'The Scoobies') got quieter during the trip down into the lower levels of Doe Park.

Which wasn't a big surprise, considering how the number of Iron Golems had drastically jumped from 'Basically zero visible' to 'giant crowd' levels.

At least the short girl, Buffy, had stopped trying to dig a hole into everyone in the area with her suspicious glares… Even if only due to her shock and distraction from the new eye candy.

Not that any of them were nearly as attractive as his security girls and…

Sigh.

Once again, John mentally smashed his own rampaging hormones.

That was better.

The stuffy British dude was clearly uncomfortable from all the security and their ununified uniforms, but seemed willing to not comment on the situation for the moment… Even if he clearly DID have a number of new questions now.

…Which would be his SISTER'S problem soon! Sweet!

As for the other girl, 'Wills', she seemed to be half-dazed and partially undergoing rapture, so she was basically down to murmuring and whatnot, while 'Xander' was surprisingly able to cope with the metallic women of the park. Experience from working with hot but dangerous ladies perhaps?

For ANY teenager, that amount of self control was pretty amazing! He'd practically be able to have conversations while walking at this rate, even when surrounded by the seductive women guardians patrolling the areas!

At least, the ones allowed to wander about above the Underpark.

John was still pretty sure the guy's brain would melt when exposed to the metallic women training and defending down there.

He waved to the side. "I'm still expanding a bit here and there, but in general the swimming area is meant to be a tropical paradise region while THIS section of the Park is themed after twilight or night time and winter. Unlike the market and entertainment districts, this is the place where we have employee housing and the hotels and the apartments and stuff."

Giles blinked in shock. "My word… It never ends!"

Huh? "Of course it ends! There are only so many properties my sister was able to buy development rights to after all. It's just… Expanded a bit from Collecting soil and rocks and stuff further below, then linking it all together."

Xander paused in his examination of the massive underground cavern. "Oh? How deep does this place go?"

Meh, donno. "I didn't really bother to check. After the first hundred meters or so it just didn't seem important. Not to mention I had to shift some stuff around underground a few times when designs changed and well…"

He reached out to a door that shouldn't have existed and opened it up. "See this? This is the Magic pit. Due to it, I accidentally flooded this entire mess with magic at some point. So uh… The rules of reality are a bit wibbly wobbly at the moment. And potentially forever, although I will have to check back here at some point in a few thousand years to test that."

The other girl, 'Wills' or 'Willow' as she was called, whimpered and fell to her knees. "So… Much… M̞̙̝a̦̟͜g̢̪͓i͙͎̪c̫̺̦!"

Yep! "Don't worry, it is all purified from outside taint and stuff, so this is pretty much cleansed and harmless stuff. MOST people won't even notice it at all! At first, anyway."

Giles seemed concerned while Willow's eyes were… Starting to glow?

The British dude (He was apparently a librarian!) failed to notice Willow's situation as he stood close to the now open door to the Magic pit. "At first?"

John nodded. "Yeah, in the short term none of our customers or employees will see much difference from working or living around here and hanging out at their old homes and stuff, but over time the energies of this place will become infused with the environment."

He touched the [[Home]] and the Magic shifted. "Shouldn't be a problem though, since the environment is focused on defending the [[Home]] and the family within, on ensuring happiness and health of those that visit, and keeping out Hostiles… But over time it will begin to alter people."

John closed the door and opened it again, showing a completely different hallway entirely. "People will live longer, have a hard time getting sick or developing mental issues. Kids will likely grow slightly faster and stronger, pets will subconsciously avoid danger they theoretically can't identify, house plants will grow stronger with enhanced potential and closer attainment to their owners."

Xander however was still checking up on a woozy Willow, who was trying to assure him that she was alright and all the colors were so tasty and… Uh.

Oops. "Before we continue, is she a mage? Or a witch, or druid or… Is she someone connected with magic?"

Giles blinked, surprised from his examination of the impossible doorway. "I'm sorry? Oh! Ms. Rosenberg, Willow… Are you alright!?"

She woozed a bit but was grinning with a twinge of madness and a thumbs up. "I am ALL the colors! WOO!"

John flinched. "I uh… I wish someone had mentioned she was able to interact with Magic before I opened a direct connection to my infinite pit of pure power. That's… That's my bad. That's on me."

Xander looked somewhere between concerned and murderous. "Is she going to be alright?"

Buffy turned to face John and began to flex her knuckles. "She had BETTER be alright!"

Hmm? "Of course she is! Or will be. I mean, eventually. Right now she is sort of half drunk and on a sugar rush from being a bit overexposed, but that should wear off eventually. In a few minutes or so."

…Or maybe after a couple of hours. That had been a LOT of raw power just now.

Not to mention that, considering how flimsy her magical foundation apparently seemed to be, the massive amount of purified power was currently rebuilding all of her abilities and reinforcing her potential… Which would take some time.

At least it would likely produce a significant power boost for the young lady in the future, so that was good, right?

Meh, it shouldn't be an issue. "Just give her a shoulder to lean on and she should get used to the influx of energy fairly quickly… Or at least learn to adapt to it temporarily. After all, she was handling the ambient energies of the park just fine until I opened up a raw corridor to unending energy."

…They were giving him looks. "...Which as I said earlier, again: Sorry?"

Awkward.

Right! "Hey, who wants to go see my sister by following me down this corridor over here before the girls of my security detail catch up to us and guilt trip me into giving out more embarrassing sensual massages? I sure know that I do!"

Xander blinked. "Wait, the 'security harem' joke from earlier was…"

John's grin grew a bit tense. "I said: Follow me! Alright?"

And thankfully they DID, because if he got caught by his staff again they would do that pout thing and some of them would tear up and he'd feel SUPER bad and a couple of the sassier ones would give him that look and then George would ignore the entire situation and start flexing in the corner and distract John long enough for those two girls in the thong to… "On your left you can see some of the fake windows that show off bits of the park."

Like, they were 'fake' because they were technically modified Bound Doors, since this hallway didn't technically exist all the time and all of it was being used as a dimensional shortcut, but whatever.

Speaking of said 'windows'! "Oh, that's part of the 'Fleeless Market'! I think that's the section focused on hobbycraft projects. I know they've been really busy getting everything together... But thankfully they're almost completely set up already for the grand opening on Monday. It's going to be a big to-do of a shindig too! Don't forget to stop by then, alright?"

If anything this whole fiasco was probably going to devolve into a massive party at this point. "And if Buffy's mom HAS joined a sex cult we can go visit their booth or something, assuming your guardians approve first or you mange to eventually sneak into the Underpark unsupervised!"

The hallways turned and twisted as he led the group past interested metal women and the occasional metallic dude. "And don't worry about Willow or anyone else you know with Magical abilities, it shouldn't be a problem as long as they don't go down into the Magic pit. Or stand by when someone OPENS the Magical pit. As for people or creatures that are cursed or tainted? Well they should DEFINITELY show up!"

Goodness knows they had enough security for that. "A lot of the more corrosive and dangerous stuff like bad voodoo or jinxes or hexes or whatever will naturally erode away here when they visit! Same with less entrenched Belief and Faith and stuff that people pick up in their lives, at least the gunk that isn't being produced by yourself I mean… Which is a good thing in my opinion."

After all, this was a WORLD of Belief to begin with! A silly or unusual religion like Raëlism was fine in other Realms, but here the UFO religion might have already caused itself to be a self fulfilling prophecy.

…Note to self: Alien abduction/anal probing might actually be a real concern here. Warn sis.

[[Confirmed: Warning deployed to HOST's sibling.]]

Good.

Speaking of 'good', the group was thankfully starting to calm down. "Through that window you can see a few of our more interesting hiking trails, and over here…"

Xander froze. "Hang on, you have a MOUNTAIN underground!?"

Huh? "I mean, not really. It's more like a specially carved cavern with a lot of special effects that looks and FEELS like a mountain, so I don't think it counts. Just like the fake lakes and oceans and stuff, it's mostly to add atmosphere and provide some fun things to see while exercising or hiking up and down the trails."

Xander pointed. "That looks like a mountain."

John nodded. "Thank you!" Oops, the girls figured out where he was hiding already. Might as well get going then. "Oh look, this is our stop!"

And through another non-existent door he could suddenly see his sister surrounded by metallic Security guardians. "Hey sis! Some people from Sunnydale High and a librarian have come to ask about the sex clubs!"

Jessica groaned. "NOT without your parent's consent! And NO, just because you got permission from your librarian does NOT mean you can skip this step! I do NOT want to have to deal with lawsuits and stuff this week, and until you are old enough to make decisions for yourself or are able to sneak in there without my being responsible for the consequences, I refuse to let ANY of you join the…"

She paused, ignoring the shocked group of teenagers and their stunned guardian as she looked at a magical screen. "John, why am I getting a report that you are avoiding your security detail?"

John slumped. "Because I realized earlier today that they are all sexually attractive, I don't feel old enough for any kind of relational interaction like that just yet, the girls have only existed as entities for a very short period of time despite the legends and memories attached to their forms… And it feels horrible telling them 'no' all the time."

He didn't know how to deal with all that! "It feels double horrible, because a good chunk of my hormones want to say 'yes' every time despite the consequences because again: They are all sexually attractive."

The crowd of people he led here all stared at him as Jessica considered the word vomit he had just hurled at her.

And she came over and gave him a hug. "That is VERY mature of you, more than most people will ever be, and I am very proud of you for trying to avoid the situation without hurting yourself or their feelings."

Don't cry. "Thanks sis."

She patted his head. "You go back Upperpark and build some stuff, and just calm down a little. Alright? I'll talk to your security staff and explain everything. Don't worry about it, just let me handle this."

Big boys don't cry. "Thanks."

She nodded and turned to the group… And paused. "Hawaiian kid? Wait, is the group of 'Informed locals' who you wanted us to meet with a couple of days ago? When did you all decide to join up with the Church of Lust?"

Willow wiggled but she didn't fall down. "I CALL DIBS ON ANY MAGIC SEX CULT!" She wibbled and wobbled. "I like magic and I call dibs." She blinked. "And Xander. I call dibs on Xander. Hi Xander!"

John blinked at… All that. And the blushing teenagers and exasperated librarian. "Right, I'm just going to go Upperpark and build a bowling alley or something."

Clearly dealing with this sort of thing did NOT get easier over time or after growing up. Again, note to self: Hormones? Never again! Next TWO bodies would be prepubescent, at LEAST!

[[Noted… Although at some point HOST will be required to age beyond…]]

NOPE! Not listening! Future problem is for FUTURE John!
