#3 of The Dark Fair

Third chapter. We switch our viewpoint character once again, and learn more about the Dark Fair's rules, along with David


David rose back on his feet slowly. He had landed inside a small tent. A curtain was hiding the outside world, but the inside was well lit with multicolored lamps. On his left was a wooden panel with a big map pinned on it. On his right was a counter with various items: flayers, rings of various size and shape, towels and an empty 'lost and found' box.

His immediate attention, however, was brought to the person that stood in front of him. A tigress; covered head to toe in a shiny, bright orange latex suit; naked. David took a few seconds to register each of these pieces of information. His gaze stopped on the feline's remarkably-sized breasts, but as soon as he suddenly realized the incongruity of the situation, the deer swiftly covered his nethers in shame. The tigress took no offense, and simply giggled.

"Tee hee. Do not worry, Mister Reichswald, I am at your service. My name is TF-57, but some of our regular visitors call me 'Trish', I am at your service and eager to please."

"O... Okay, Trish," David agreed. What a strange name; he was glad he had another way to call the strange woman. "What is this place, and how do you know who I am? You can call me 'David' by the way," he suggested.

"Name change registered. Mister David?" Trish asked mechanically, as if expecting a confirmation.

"Uh, no, just David," he precised.

"Name change registered. David?" she asked again.

"Yes...?" David confirmed tentatively.

"Very well, David. Once again, welcome to the Dark Fair. To answer your questions: the Dark Fair is a recreational area for an elect few, where you will have the opportunity to play games and, generally, to bask in the pleasures of the flesh, thanks to our various rides, booths, and lounge areas. Your medallion is what allows me and the rest of the staff to identify you. Please keep it on your person at all times."

Once again, David had to take a few seconds to process what this woman was explaining to him. His mind tried to relate it to the closest thing he knew of. "So, this is some kind of sex-club?"

"Not quite, this is much more than a 'sex-club'," the latex tigress scoffed at the mere hearing of the term. "Now, this is a little bothering. You see, we advise our patrons to accompany first-time visitors, to break them to the Fair's unique concept. I guess Edward could not be available for you; not through normal means at least, but I will come to that later."

"'Edward". You mean my father?" David chuckled. I did not fall far from the tree, it seems, he noted mentally.

"Yes. Edward did leave a message for you, though. Please read it, and I will proceed with the rest of the explanations." Trish added, handing the new visitor a letter.

David opened it in a hurry and read it thoroughly:

My Dear David,

If you read this letter, then you have stepped into the portal and arrived safely at the Fair. I also won my bet with Laurence, but that is another story.

You must have realized by now that this is not a normal place. This 'Fair' is something 'apart' from our world, and obey its own rules. It is also a place of exotic pleasure, as you will see.

Our family have been allowed in this place for generations, and it is your turn now to enjoy your trips at the Fair.

Take a tour around the place. Play a few games if you feel like it, or just take your time and browse the alleys. Your attendant will explain it to you, but we are bound to meet each other here. I will come as soon as I can, and we shall explore what this Fair has to offer together.

In any case, I wish you a very, very happy 18th birthday, my sweet little boy. Have fun, do not count your spending, make some good friends, and tell me all about it when we meet each other.

Dad,

P.S.: You must be quite puzzled about the person in front of you. Do not feel distressed over them. This is one of the mysteries of the place, one that you should not try to uncover by yourself. They are at your service and eager to please, as they say. Ask them anything.

David slowly folded back the letter. His father's words calmed him down a little. But should he be okay seeing the tigress in front of him as a simple servant? It wass rather creepy. "Are you ready to continue, David?" Trish asked, waiting for David by the map.

The fair looked very big on the map. Alleys divided the place in neat squares. A little dot labeled 'You are here' showed him that he was currently at the southern end of the fair. A large open space labelled 'Central Plaza' seemed to stand at the center, and there was a large gray area marked 'Employees only' nestled in the Northeast of the fairground. The rest was divided into quadrilaterals of various size. Each of them had a small circle with a logo inside. Under each icon was the name of the ride or the stall. All the names were corny and sex-related. On the bottom left was the legend of the map, which Trish started to explain.

"When thinking about enjoying our attractions, please note the color code next to its name. Green represents food stands and lounges, blue is the color for basic games, yellow signals games where you can interact physically with us entertainers, and red are rides which directly calls upon your involvement. The logo inside the colored circle indicates what kind of game it is," Trish listed. Kyle took a look at the various images and their meanings. They are sexual themed as well, and even if some of them are classic, albeit explicit: active sex, passive sex, fellatio, bondage... Some of them were much more exotic. Milking? Oviposition? Tentacles? This stirred David's curiosity and excitement.

"Please come back here to exit the Fair. The Fair is accessible at any place, at any time, following the instructions you have been given," the latex tigress precised.

"Does that mean that I could meet my father here, even if he is on the other side of the country?" David remarked, amazed.

"On the other side of the planet, even," Trish confirmed with a smile.

"Please follow me to the counter," Trish requested. There, she gave David a small belt fitted with a pouch, and put inside the pouch a map, but also what the deer finally recognized as a cock-ring and a ball-stretcher, and a small tablet of pills. "Please feel free to use them to keep yourself hard and ready", the latex tigress explained. For now, David kept them in the pouch. "My father mentioned spending...?" he asked. "Yes," Trish confirmed. "At each stall, present your medallion to the cashier or the manager, to deduct the payment. Your father added you to your family's account, so you can spend as much as you want without stress, David." David looked at the platinum medallion; this item was more elaborate than he thought. It definitely had some kind of system which allowed to track him.

"If you wish to let off some steam, may I recommend the Rainbow Lounge, in the C aisle. You will find various entertainers for any of your needs. If you want a specific entertainer, please ask for them by their formal identification. So ask for 'TF-57' if you want to meet me again."

"Okay, thanks, I'll keep the number in my head." David replied, having almost forgotten that Trish was merely a pseudonym. He walked towards the exit, and was about to head into the fair, when a last question popped into his mind. "By the way, why are you called 'TF-57'?"

"It's simple, really", Trish explained, without a hint of angst in her voice. "'TF' is for 'Tiger' and 'Female', 57 means that I am the fifty-seventh female tiger to work for the Fair. Have a nice day and have fun, David. We are at your service and eager to please," she concluded, while sporting a happy face which looked painfully hollow to David. The deer promptly walked out of the tent, while trying to keep his composure.
