"Yes, I took three of your fingers, and two of Serena's claws, at least, if my memory's correct...actually I can take about half of my tail." He paused, rather waiting until Serena was gone to add. "You do realize that unlike you, Serena doesn't care what happens to me, correct? She might have forgiven me, but she will not forget what I did...and really, honestly, had she not imposed on me that I was not to continue...I would have. None of us really are going to be OK with the changes that she made to the way things are going to be run here now."

"Then perhaps, Royce, Serena has now fallen under the category of cruel Mistress, when it comes to you. Some of these changes... I can understand. Tell me, what do you wish was left alone? I do want to give you my opinions on this."

"There's no punishment for being greedy now; or for being stupid enough to lose everything and keep digging even after that. They essentially get off scott free. The other way they had a debt to pay, and they paid it, with me, with their bodies, since it was the only thing they had left to pay with. Most accepted this...now it's being turned into a game for anyone who wants to partake in it...and it's just another way to suck money from them, another addiction."

"There's a few things I have to say about that. First of all, that is another issue that I will address, and will wrestle with her about changing. The point of a casino is that EVERYONE is gambling. The casino with their profits, and the players with their own money. They should not even be ALLOWED to have a debt. An example of this.... If they came in with 500 Poké, they should be allowed no more than double that, unless, at the table or whatever they show that can cover their loss, If they lose 500 Poké, it should be a break even for you, and zero for them. After which, they are no longer allowed to play any of the games. Also... while we're on the subject of breaking even, I'm proposing a new system that will have a higher chance that they will have a way of proving that they have a certain sum of money, AND that there is less risk of losing profit." He paused for a bit before continued, to see what Royce thought of his proposal so far.

"Perhaps that's fine and dandy for you, but for most Pokémon, if there's NOT a chance of a debt, they wont play. Money may be our currency here, but what is it used for, do you even know? Most Pokémon don't buy houses, they just make one themselves, they don't own a true home if they live between towns, they just call home wherever they lay their hat. Those of us that do choose to have a home built personally for ourselves, to claim a section of land, then we use Poké, but it's superficial. The only use of Poké here that's not superficial, is to buy food, and even then you could easily go out and gather or hunt for food. You do NOT need Poké to survive here. I would think that someone traveling with Serena would have learned that by now. Poké changes hands like water running through ones fingers."

"I do believe Serena covered something similar with me, and it's also the reason why I refused a loan from Anana. However, the way you've laid it out to me... you've yet to give me a reason why accumulating a debt is something worth... the consequences it used to have. I'm still getting used to this world, and it's differences. In fact, I could even live here if I wanted. Minus a bit of technology... my lifestyle isn't that different than most Pokémon's."

"Perhaps you could." Royce said rather shortly. "If you wanted to be regarded as a legendary Pokémon, you might even be able to ditch the illusion eventually, so long as you didn't announce the word 'human' everywhere you went, people would just assume that you're the latest in a family tree of a species they've never heard of." he noted. "Of course, we do have that issue of your...tech."

"What about it...? That really shouldn't be much of a problem here. You all have things similar to what I have back home. Also, there's another issue as to my clothing as well."

"Well, yes and no. there are cloaks and other things that Pokémon use here to cover themselves with, some Pokémon even wear bindings on their feet to give them more traction, if they don't have claws...granted you might have to change something of the style of your pants, but other than that, you SHOULD be able to fit in here decently well."

"...and how would you explain the swords...? Claws and things are natural, they are not natural. I think I may have seen swords in this world but... none of them look like mine. Of course there's also the issue of humans not having an element. Though I've given some thought to this I suppose... you might be able to if you really stretch it... kind of a limited Normal-Fighting."

"You'd be a new 'species' of Pokémon, for all they know you could be a Normal-Steel type, which would allow for your swords, but things aren't always in the typing, look at Samurott." He shrugged.

"Hm. Wait.... I never said what my swords were made of... and I've never shown you my swords... unless... oh you do have a good memory then."

"Not directly you didn't, no." he confirmed. "But you and your...Absol were in the doorway, and you had them drawn there."

"So, back to the topic of the debt now. Since my idea was obviously based in humanity... I'll try another one. Giving them an allotted time to make back what they owe, and if they cannot do it within that alloted time, THEN these two options open up to them; they play your little roulette wheel, and instead of doubling their money, you forgive the debt, OR they double their money if they win, and if they lose, they can either immediately have the option to offer themselves to you, NO drugs involved, or serve as your... night life entertainment, for a specific and controlled period of time, which you, Serena and I will work out a specific rate, that will have them being the equivalent of being an indentured servant. Oh and, it should be made plain as day, what choosing the each option will mean/imply."

"It would solve the problem of having to...hire 'mon for the services...and considering that now my office is going to have a new entrance that doesn't touch that section of the casino for obvious reasons...Drugs are always involved, of one type or another, however, but since you're talking about the aphrodisiac drug...that's not something you have to worry about, Serena's got those in her shell. I suspect that she plans on training herself to the point that she can ignore her heated state as easily as she can how aroused she is even at this moment, or so I suspect. One round never WAS enough to sate her completely."

"So then... I guess I might as well get out of these." Kyn said, removing his pants and stained boxers. "I wish we were doing this on a bed though. It'd be more comfortable for me."

It was about that time that Serena opened the door to the room again, wider than normal since she had a tray in her mouth, loaded to the hilt with ice cream treats, waifers, chocolates--desserts and drinks of all types, and without missing a beat, kicked the door closed behind her, easing the tray onto the ground. "Thought...you might like something to eat, or drink at least, since I went out to get something for myself..."

"Sounds like you've got more in mind for us then...the next room over does have...some semblance of a bed, I suppose you could say, it's just because we're in a gear room that wasn't really intended to be...used for other than dressing Pokémon in gear."

"Serena, I've been discussing a few things with Royce and... I'm not completely set on some of these changes." He said, and then he looked back at Royce. "Yes I do."

"Oh NOW you want to speak up? When things were being set in motion, you were fine with remaining silent, so fine with it that you left me with the task of taking care of anything, and yet NOW you're having a change of heart? No. You don't get to voice your opinion now. In FACT I even asked you if there was anything you wanted changed, or to edit what I said when it was happening." she snorted, taking an iced lemonade from the tray with her claws. Her mood had soured, clearly.

"Serena, I wasn't really able to make a coherent adjustment at that time. I was still getting used to the whole bloody thing. If I don't get to voice these things, then things will rapidly get out of hand." He said, his tone changing to that of concern.

"Nothing will get out of hand." She snorted, and then didn't speak again until the sour drink was gone. "You left me to take care of it, and so I took care of it, end of story. Go back to doing what you do best." She licked her fangs.

"I believe I'm going to say this in a not so subtle way. What even made you THINK of doing anything beyond simply changing the policy of what happens after someone accumulates debt?"

"I didn't, really, aside from coming up with a way to make money that he otherwise would have lost, and had others creating debts on PURPOSE to get their hands at, I didn't do anything other than change that policy. I bought what he was doing anyway into a light that was not as dark as it previously was, no more rape, no more of people being FORCED into the situation; they can SPEND their money rather than portraying themselves to be stupid and ignorant." She ticked the glass back and forth. "Because it's always about money..Everything else was left open ended, I never told him what he COULD do, only what he couldn't."

Kyn turned to Royce and said, "...and that's the game winner Royce, Serena is thinking like a human."

Tink...tink....tink...rollllllLLLlllllll The glass tipped over and rolled across the room, her claw still poised to bob the glass back in another direction. "What. Did. You. Just. Say....?" Confusion, unsure whether or not to be insulted, thinking like anything other than a dragon was not in her nature and both the mixture of confusion and anger flooded the link, and anger won out. "I know what I said, I gave him limits on what he couldn't do, anything ELSE he threw into the mix of the deed, which is now written into the deal and signed, things are too late to be changed. I'm not SURE what he tried to pin on me, but it's OBVIOUS that he did try something. I thought I got RID of that part of him..." She growled as her eyes narrowed to slits, the bit of green glowing in the darkness of her shell.

The look on Royce's face was, if anything, a blank slate. "You did, or at least you tried to. Oh, don't worry, Roy's still got everything's under control, at least as far as it matters to you. Speaking of Roy...aside from being completely submissive, he's got no personality, you focused on building back up the things about me you hated...minus this one aspect...but you haven't given anything to him."

"You're both incredible. Do you two not realize that you're trying to turn this human against the other? I took into account both sides of the story here."

"I am not trying to do anything of the sort." She snorted "If I was, I would never have allowed anything of that..." She trailed off, unwilling to continue the sentence any further, and she even let her claws bite into the ground. <I never wanted you to get close to the manipulative bastard in the first place. If I was going to try to force you away from him, THAT would have been the point to do so; before the sex, before you listened to whatever lies he claimed I put in place here. Yes, he's trying to latch onto you, because he thinks that you'll protect him from me.> She closed her eyes, breaking eye contact. <That being said, Do as you wish; I just want to go home.>

"I don't care what it takes Serena... but, I believe my solution will cause BOTH of you to be satisfied. I really want a new... whatever the hell, to be done." <The fact that you even said that line about him latching on to me because he believes that I'll protect him from you is concerning to me.>

"Pah." She crossed her forelimbs in front of her. "I have nothing to do with the contracts that he sets up, I was only there as an overseer." <Oh please, look at the way you've got yourself set up. Sure, you beat him until he was broken, that's no where near what I did. You're set up as his guardian angel, he doesn't even realize that -I- was the one who stayed your hand from continuing to beat him that day. You're the good cop, I'm the bad cop, just as you wanted me portrayed.> She went to gather up the glass, and set it back on the tray, taking another one. "I suppose then, that you're not hungry?"

<Perhaps I was wrong to go about it that way. After all, I'm not fit to be someone's Master, Serena.> "Then does that mean that Royce is the only one who can change it? I'm not exactly sure what went on in the months that I was gone."

"Months? It's only been a few days...but yes and no, it means that only the Council of the Casino can change it. That's Dee and Hugh, along with Riiko, Nina and Royce himself, and they all have to agree upon the things TOGETHER. They didn't even like having me in the room while the first one was going on, something about me influencing the three of them? Well,I suppose I did to get them to bring it up..." <I could argue that point with you plenty, but for your sake, I'll stay my tongue, so to speak.>

Royce had gone quiet, in fact, he wouldn't even meet Serena's eyes, even with them looking at Kyn, it was clear that she still despised everything that he was. He did crawl forward--aware of Serena's....food issues...and essentially begged for a slice of cake, until he was sure that her ignoring him included meaning that she would ignore him taking food from her as well. He took his food back over to the wall with a fork, and went back to relaxing.

<I don't believe you should, for my sake. This is rather important to me.> "What exactly are these things on that tray anyway...?"

"Frozen Nomelade, different flavored sorbets, Darkrai food cake, Pinap upside-down cake, Cheri Iced cream...Nanab split with assorted different Iced creams; Cheri and Pecha shakes--I remembered Tensa enjoyed the last one he had--chocolate Buneary's, chocolate mousse, candy bars with nuts...My sweet tooth was acting up." <To believe that you're not fit to be a Master is important to you? you'll have to explain that to me, as with the other aspects of...things.>

"My god.... a Dragon with a sweet tooth. That's... that's an odd statement." <Just that, I'm not used to having that much control over something.>

<My goodness, a Pokémon trainer that isn't used to having control over something!> She tossed back at him, mixing the two conversations. <You were going to explain to me why you had to adapt to the sexual encounters to try to work for both humans and Pokémon.> "Sink is on the wall to the left, if you want to wash those before the stain sets, though with how long you've been holding them, it may have already." She pointed out, then paused. "Okay, now that was a definite bleed over..."

<Having a bit of difficulty carrying on two conversations at once, Serena...?> He chuckled. "Probably. If it's set it too much, I'll have to just put it in the washing machine on heavy duty, later." He then turned back to Royce. "Now, after you're done eating... please lead me to that other room."

<This was the only place that that comment would have been appropriate to have been stated in.> she raised an eye ridge at the statement about another room, and her nose twitched but she didn't ask. <But, if I was having trouble, then it would likely make me less human, wouldn't it?> she snorted, not about to let that comment go.

" 'course." he answered simply. "Just that room, or one...further away from this one?"

"The room to the left of this one, I believe." <Serena... I think I'm fine with not being able to do this while... doing that.>

<While having your brains fucked out.> she rephrased, her thoughts colored with jealousy again, as well as a desire to be protective. She clicked her claws against the floor, and tried to mentally count how many scratches that had been added to her shell THIS night. <At least I'm going to have to teach you how to seal your mind off, the last thing I need is YOUR mental state affecting me.>

<Oh I don't know Serena, I've had to deal with YOUR mental state before.> He went over to the sink and activated it, trying to see if the stain HAD set.

<I can either close the link off on my side permanently or leave it open completely.> She sighed, yes, confused at her own emotions, she was in the process of sorting things out. <I'm sorry; I don't mean to be hypocritical...I'll work on that.>

<Serena... this may be odd coming from me... but regardless of whether or not you felt like it... I will not allow you to watch this. This means I will be practicing closing off the link.> The thought was clear and firm.

The clear disgust in her voice this time at even remembering what she had just seen was nearly overpowering. <Even if I wanted to...You think I would...Why would you...Ugh. Look, I don't know WHO you think I am, or what I'm into, but things like -that- are out of what I'm interested in. T'ch, don't do anything stupid while I can't rescue you from it. Whatever...it's your thing, you don't have to worry about me watching anything of that nature.> She answered. <Good luck; I /sincerely/ hope you succeed in this venture.>

<I don't know either. You really confuse me that way. Goodbye for a bit then Serena. I do so apologize if I have offended you.> Kyn finished washing the clothing without a further word, hoping that it would be clean enough to at least pass off as just being merely wet, to those with a good nose it might not still though.

She almost cut him off, almost, but held her tongue until he'd finished. <It's not you, it's not even the sex...It's Royce.> She could have used the other channel, that could be heard by anyone, but really, that exposure...she wasn't ready to live down, bad enough that she had shown -that- to Kyn, but she didn't even know if he was still listening, regardless of it, she shut off her side of the link as well, and walked over to the cake, almost curling around the tray, and proceeded to eat almost the entire thing then and there---she hadn't eaten in quite a few days, better to eat -now- rather than to go hungry and try to last for a longer period of time.

Royce of course, in the meantime, finished his bit of cake, and went back over to set it on the tray, earning a growl from Serena for more than one reason, he was sure. He only smirked, then walked towards the door. "When you're ready."

"I'm ready now. So then, I'll just sorta take this with me," He said, then headed for the door. There were still things about Royce that he didn't know still existed probably, but he was willing to risk it.
