A Game of No Hands Chapter 36

Steph and Steve nailed the red button on the back of Tina’s neck as soon as it began to flash. A compartment on her back fanned open, revealing a small keyboard. Steve made a mental note to complain to the game’s accessibility department as they used their tentacles to delete all the code in Tina’s three programs.

Tina had been off line for nearly three hours and when she finally rebooted she was very disoriented. She displayed near zero emotion as the three of them caught her up to speed and asked questions in a robotic monotone. The only real exception was during Angelica’s mea cupla for her overzealous domination. Tina’s eyes flashed red and her voice buzzed, “IF YOU GAG YOUR SUBS IT IS CRITICAL YOU LISTEN EVEN HARDER.”

Angelica hung her head and promised to do better. Interestedly to Steve, Tina did not revoke Angelical mistress privileges as they had, nor offered up any lines in the sand she didn’t want Angelica to cross.

“It is time for this turn to end.” Tina said after taking it all in, then looked at Angelica. “Have you determined the proper procedure?”

Angelica’s tail flicked with uncertainty. “Broadly I do. According to what I’ve been reading, the ley nexus that originally powered the house should have regenerated after a few decades. Just not in the precise spot as before. We need to find it, reshape a few of the rods into a pentagram, attract the power up to the surface and then channel it into the manor.” She sighed and looked over the wreckage of Steve’s rampage. “Trouble is, while we all have more than enough magic in us to perform the ritual, none of us have magical sight. So I was attempting to try to calculate where the lay nexus reformed or at least give us a direction to go hiking through the forest looking for it.”

Both Steve and Steph smirked, creating a strange smile spread across two faces.

“Would evidence of the nexus be strange fruits that might produce transformations when smashed?” Steve asked.

“That might be enhanced through lewd activities?” Steph giggled.

Angelica’s brows raised, “Uh yes. Well maybe yes, maybe no on the lewd activities, thats more of a user thing but the nexus Tipper used was obviously transfiguration flavored. Wait… Do you know where it is?”

“Its out front!” Steph near shouted as their tail wagged.

“Right next to the porch.” Steve hid her blush behind a paw as she remembered precisely what happened when they tipped the Pizza guy.

“For fucks sake!” Angelica slapped her forehead. “I’ve been working on this for a day and a half and the damn thing is right outside? Practically under the manor?!”

“Yep! Come on! We’ll show you.” Steph said as the pair sprang up to their feet. “Race you all there!”

Once they were out in the hallway and it became clear that neither Tina nor Angelica were following quickly, they slowed to a leisurely skip. Steph giggled and called back, “Come on you two! No time for sulking, we got magic to dooo!”

“Tina and Angelica might have some other things to talk out.” Steve said, recalling sharp tones being exchanged occasionally between the two but the content of those conversations remained sealed.

“They can hash it out later. No more sads. We’re all going to play together under the plum tree now. One last ride on the pneumatic piston!” Steph licked her lips and made a Mmmm sound.

“Don’t get us too excited,” Steve chuckled, feeling their shared sex warm with Steph imagining. “Mis- I mean Angelica knows the proper way to do this now. Maybe all we gotta do is chant magic words.”

“With those silver rods shoved up our who-ha! I bet we could fit two up there now. One for me and one for you. That be fun!” Steph grinned. The pair continued to speculate on the lewdest way to perform the ritual as they made their way outside. They were sitting on the front steps discussing if drawing on the ley line nexus would be equivalent to making the earth cum or not when the front door finally opened. Turning, they found Tina and Angelica peering into the breezy afternoon. Tina carried the five moonsilver rods under the crook of one of her larger arms.

Angelica follow the pair over to the tree and its bunches of oddly shaped fruit. She plucked one of the double plums that resembled a pair of breasts and took a bite. A tiny white spark arced between the flesh of the fruit and her teeth. She then looked down at her breasts expectantly, but nothing happened.

“Right,” She sighed after a minute. “Was afraid of that.”

“What’s wrong?” Steve asked. “Is this not the nexus?”

“Oh it is. At least a nexus of transfiguration, but there’s not a lot of oomph in each fruit. To tap the nexus you either need to drill down to it or call it up to you. According to Tipper: like attracts like. Cast a fireball spell near an active volcano and its going to be far more powerful than usual because it will attract nearby fire mana. The bigger the spell, the more it will draw.” Angelica looked up into the branches of the tree. “Enchantments are kinda… territorial. They resist outside magic unless its tuned to enhance the enchantment’s effect.”

Steph giggled, “So it be easier if we had a fresh subject. Gotcha.”

“Well yeah!” Angelica laughed uneasily. “But it will still work. I’ll just have to direct the spell down the existing enchantments. Since I’m a little afraid what that will do to Tina, that leaves you two. You’ll probably spend a few more days dog brained.”

“Unacceptable.” Tina commented. “We must find a different subject for the spell. I suggest one of the statues.”

Angelica, looked up thoughtfully at the fruit. “Maybe, our enchantments are flesh and mind shaping, we can’t do any other magic without additional help. We’d need something that turned stone to flesh.” Standing up on her hind legs she grabbed at bundles of fruit. “These square ones might do the opposite.”

“We could capture one of those crows.” Tina suggested, pointing at the murder of birds watching us from the heads and arms of the statues in the fountain.

Steve felt her ears start to burn and Steph cheek nudged her.

“I think my sister has an idea.” She announced.

Both Angelica and Tina swiveled to look at the pair.

Steve bit her lip as the pizza guy danced in her mind with his fluffy tail. “We… could just order a pizza and tip really really well.”

With a laugh that resembled a hyena’s Steph hurried to explain precisely and in graphical detail what had transpired when the pizza had been delivered.

“Stephen! You naughty girls!” Tina exclaimed at the end of it. Her tone had equal parts scold and admiration. Steph grinned while Steve peeked out at the others between two digits of their paw.

Angelica merely groomed a paw as she thought it over. “We’ll be handling magnitudes more magic than a few crushed plums. They could get as stuck as hard as auntie Willow if we’re not careful but if I redirect the energy in time then he’d be normal again in a couple weeks… tops.”

“And,” Steph added, “If it's the same pizza guy, it will be his own fault for taking us up our offer of a special tip again.”

“T-that’s not very likely though.” Steve stammered.

“Beats running around the yard with a net trying to catch a crow or a squirrel. Steve and Steph, why don’t you get dressed.” Angelica’s tail tip began to twitch as she took out her cell phone from the pocket of her leather jacket. “I’ll order the pizza. Then Tina and I will get to work bending this moon silver into the right shapes.”

“Yes mistress!” Steve and Steph answered excitedly, tail wagging they ran into the house.

The pair dressed in the same outfit they had met the pizza guy in during the previous encounter. Ludicrously short skirt, but this time their fishnet stocking would be intact. Steve still found the outfit to be too searingly hot to look at but Steph was too focused on making their hair and makeup perfect to tease her much.

“Wait! One more thing!” Steph cried as they were about to leave the bedroom. Steve yielded their body to her. She started searching through the pile of luggage in the corner. In a plastic bin they uncovered the care basket that Auntie Willow had given them before they left her cottage. Among all the fancy perfume bottles was a plain glass canister, labeled “sexy stink,” with black sharpie marker. A distillate of Willow’s pheromone laden skunk spray.

“We can’t use that!” Steve protested. “Its cheating.”

“Its just a little insurance, in case we get a different pizza guy. Besides, all of Aunties scents are in legal limits. She said so.” Steph clasped the bottle between two paws and used a tentacle to squeeze the bulb. The liquid sprayed out over their exposed breasts in a fine mist.

“Stephie!” Steve whined as the pungent, eye watering stink filled her nostrils. “We’re not immune to it!”

But it was too late, the second breath kindled an aching warmth within them and the pair moaned as it spread down into their loins. Moisture flushed through their depths as the inner walls began to itch for stimulation. Dropping the bottle, it took both their combine willpower to stop themselves from sliding a tentacle up into their spade right then and there. With a paw they fanned the sprayed area as they blinked back stinging tears. No the perfume wasn’t nearly as overwhelming as Auntie Willow’s actual spray but it was plenty potent.

“Well I hope our pizza comes soon, otherwise there’s going to be a wet and wild appetizer.” Steph said, coughing a bit.

“No distracting Angelica and Tina.” Steve chided, “We don’t want to mess this up.”

“Says the girl who’d scheme to jump the postman if we had one.” Steph laughed and head bumped the blinking Steve who instantly picture the pair of them sitting beside a mail eagerly waiting a chance to “chase” the mailman. The fantasy unspooled from there in multiple directions, ending with tumbles in the bushes or get pounded over a fat mail bag in the back of the mail truck.

“Earth to Stella,”

A gentle whisper pushed Steve from her cascading day dreams and suddenly found herself outside facing the fountain, panting hard.
