This choice: something happens to interrupt the game • Go Back...Chapter #5something happens to interrupt the game by: HJeff   You're sitting there, wondering which cards to discard, when there's a knock on the door. One of the nondescript male characters, like the one who checked you out when you entered the Inventory, enters the room when Elizabeth tells him to.
"Miss Elizabeth?" the man says diffidently. "I know tonight is your night off. But we have a situation."
"Isn't...?" she responds.
"Not available at the moment," the man responds.
"What about...?" Elizabeth asks.
"On a mission," the man answers.
"Well, give me a moment to get my boots on. I'm assuming the situation isn't imminent, urgent, or critical," she asked, pulling on her left boot.
"No, just developing," the man answered.
"Ah," Elizabeth answered, tugging on her other boot. "I don't suppose...?"
"Indisposed," the man answered.
"Well, I must make my apologies to my companions," Elizabeth says. "Wait outside, will you? This will only take a few minutes And you will be able to secure a replacement for me?"
"Miss Elizabeth, we really should get going..." the man began to argue, but Elizabeth cut him off
"You said the situation was developing, nothing worse. So you can spare a few minutes. And you will be able to secure a replacement for me, within the hour." The last is more like a command than a question, and the man takes it that way. It makes you wonder about the power structure at the Inventory and how everything is connected.
As soon as the guy leaves, Elizabeth turns around to face you all. "My sincerest apologies. I've been looking forward to this evening. I was especially looking forward to it when I saw you," Elizabeth tells you with a grin. "My only companion when I was your age was a flying, artificial construct. So I never got to play doctor or such when I was entering adolescence. I was looking forward to perhaps doing so with you. Maybe we'll get to do so sometime in the future." You blush, but your heart starts racing at the idea of not only getting to playing doctor with Elizabeth, but also about getting to come back to the inventory.
Lara, Lilith and Zoey reassure Elizabeth that they understand perfectly and, if she ever has the opportunity, they'd be more than happy to have a game with her.
At that moment, Sam decided to insert her drunken opinion.
"You're just too scared of Lara kicking your ass," Sam slurs.
The room goes deathly quiet at that moment. Some line has been crossed and, even if you don't know what it is, everyone else in the room does. Even Sam realizes she's fucked up. She starts to blubber an apology, but Lara cuts her off.
"I apologize for my friend, Elizabeth," Lara begins. "Next time I'll leave her at the manor. And the time after that. And the time after that."
Sam is really blubbering now. Lilith can see you're confused, and begins whispering in your ear.
"Places like this, the Inventory," she begins, "And other places, can only exist because of people like Elizabeth and their abilities. Elizabeth is actually pretty nice about it, and doesn't expect anybody to kiss her ass, though I wouldn't say no if she asked me to," Lilith said with a wink. "But you try not to be an asshole to people like her either."
You turn your attention to the blubbering Sam, who is literally at Elizabeth's feet, begging forgiveness. You realize that Elizabeth literally has the power to keep Sam from ever leaving her own world again,
"Really, it's not worth all this hullabaloo," Elizabeth, clearly embarrassed, told Sam. "But if you really want to make amends, I have an idea."
"Anything," Sam says, nodding emphatically.
"One, when the game starts with the new player, our young man gets to start with his cap. If that's all right with the rest of you," Elizabeth asks, turning to the rest of the women. They all nod in agreement, and you're glad that you're getting a do over.
"Second, you'll keep your side bet. When Lara loses a piece of clothing, you lose a piece of clothing," Elizabeth says.
Again, Sam nods, though perhaps not so emphatically. Realizing that she had come pretty close to losing her multiverse travel pass has sobered her up. But Sam must realize she has no room to back out now.
"And here's the final condition. Whenever you and Lara have to take off an article of clothing, the kid gets to take it off of you, and then have a little playtime with you. Not only that, if Lara has to perform a forfeit, you do to. But the kid gets to determine the forfeit. And no rough stuff," Elizabeth tells you, shaking a finger at you. You nod, your mind reeling at what Elizabeth is setting up for you.
Sam has turned white as a sheet. She starts with a "But---", but Elizabeth cuts her off.
"As I said, Sam, none of this is necessary," Elizabeth said. "But you're the one who wanted to make amends. Do you still want to make amends?" Sam nodded emphatically. "Good then," Elizabeth continued. "Well, get yourself cleaned up."
As Sam did so, Elizabeth went around and gave all the women a hug goodbye. When she got to you, you're surprised that you can look her in the eye. Yes, you grew about six inches last summer, but this is Elizabeth from Bioshock. And not only that, but apparently among other video game characters, she's a force to be reckoned with. For some reason, you feel she should be towering over you.
Elizabeth smiles and takes your hands in hers. And then she puts them on her breasts.
You almost faint from shock.
Elizabeth begins manipulating your hands so that you're softly kneading her breasts. Eventually, you take control of your own hands and continue massaging her breasts. They're the softest things you've ever handled.
"Very nice," Elizabeth tells you. "Just remember, as a rule, the more violent an adventuress's life is, the more she appreciates a gentle hand. Are mine the first ones you've ever touched?" she asks.
You nod, your eyes watching your hands, as if they're someone else's. Finally Elizabeth removes your hands from her chest.
"As pleasant as that was, I do have a situation to tend to. Have fun, and we'll do this again," Elizabeth says as she left the room. The other women are just staring at you. Lilith suddenly laughs, then puts your cap back on your head for you. "Welcome back to the game, kid."
You, Lilith and Zoey are having a conversation about different aspects of their game world, and occasionally Lara participates. Sam just sits sullenly by herself, occasionally giving you a "fuck off and die" glare. Lilith tells you not to worry about it. Any problems Sam has, she brought on herself.
Lilith also tells you an interesting story about how Sirens get their tattoos. You're about to ask something about the other Sirens when there's a knock on the door, and Elizabeth's replacement comes in.
It/s Helena Douglas ( https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dead...), and you find your eyes following the movement of her legs in the long slit of her dress.
Helena heads straight to Lilith The two of them obviously know each other well, which makes you wonder how this whole crossing into different game worlds works. Lilith introduces her to Zoey first, and then to Lara. There seems to be a little reluctance on Lilith's part to introduce her to Sam, but Sam seems to have sobered up, and Helena is being gracious to her, so it all seems to be going well. Lilith explains that Sam is there as a guest of Lara's but there's a little side bet going on. When Helena asks about the nature of the side bed, Lilith just winks at her and says, "You'll see."
Finally Lilith introduces Helena to you. Helena oohs and aahs over you, and says you are just the cutest thing, making Lilith and Zoey laugh, and you blush. Finally everyone takes a seat, Lilith reviews the rules, and the cards are dealt out.
