Mild cursing, sexual innuendo, off-color humor

Todd's tail flickered and he and Wildfall watched in disbelief and Sir Fumblies vanished into the distance. Wildfall casually tossed his shillelagh in the air and caught it. "So, we're scouting and he's.. what again?"

Todd shook his head, tail flicking. "Beats the crap outta me, mate. Seemed to be talkin' to himself there. Wonder if Fahari knows she's got a nutjob for a beau?" He smirked with that before turning away. "Anyway, let's find a less blatant way in."

"Maybe the stress's getting to him." Wildfall paused, then shrugged. "Ya know, it hits me that if the ninjas were driven out, they probably didn't go down without a real fight, wouldn't ya say?"

Todd shook his head again. "Dunno, mate. The way these guys look I don't think they're much for open battles. More stealthy like me." He smiled.

Wildfall got a hopeful glint in his eyes. "Well, maybe we should do a lil sitting under the learning tree, then."

"You think they'd teach us what they know about stealth? I got a feeling they're smug about being all this 'ninja' shit. Won't train just any goof." Todd shrugged, looking around for another path to follow. Wildfall cheerfully followed.

"Well, sure, but we're here with the slaver problem. I'm sure they'd at least want to help us get rid of them, right? Specially if I turn up the ole' Ireaca charm on a few of them. They'd be helpless before me. Er.. us."

Todd smirked. "Better be careful where you flash that Ireaca charm. I can't tell if it's a dude or dudette under those robes. You might be inviting more than you expected."

"Eh, I got a third sense about these things."

"Tell me about that 'third sense' when you're bending over."

Wildfall was taken aback but quickly came up with a reply. "Might be on my knees thankin' her, but I don't think she's gonna bend me over, 'less she's got a ruler nearby. Some lassies are into that, I hear."

Todd laughed. "Oh, don't get me started on THAT! I remember this one puss in Alcara.. Bitch went for wearin' spiked heels and a ridin' crop- nothin' else!" He smirked. "Not like you'd want her to cover any o' that up..."

"Would you at least tone down the laughter, laughin'fox?" Wildfall nudged him. "Incognito, remember?"

Todd chuckled. "Sure man. Hey! Whattya say after all this is over we go out- just you and me. Find a couple willin' bitches.. you know the kind with tits big enough to make you wanna be a kit again?"

"Sure," Wildfall said with a smile. "I'll ask Summer if I can please get permissio.. er.." Wildfall paused, gathering himself. "I'll totally tell Summer that I am going out with you and if she doesn't like that, too bad."

He paused again. Before Todd could say anything, he amended it to, "Actually, let's not mention that idea to Summer at all. She'll be gone a while anyway."

Todd chuckled again. "Whipped man, pure whipped."

"She is huh?" Wildfall said hopefully.

"Uh huh.. next thing you'll be asking her if it's okay for that stud to bend you over.. or if she wants to watch."

"You don't think she'd wanna.." Wildfall again caught himself- again, a bit late, getting him a touch annoyed and and grouchy. "Oh, knock it off, will ya?!"

Todd grinned. "Usually happens in a good three way, man. Best time for it too.. really beats..." Todd stopped himself, wondering if he should go there with this guy- even in conversation.

"What?" Wildfall teased. "Lonely nights with your guitar, lots of moaning and whimpering, and eventually a broken guitar?"

Todd hushed just a bit. "Look, mate. Lots of things I've done in my life people around here wouldn't be too.. comfortable with. I joke about it, until I see the eyes go wide."

Wildfall nodded. "I guess we all have our stories about skinny dipping, running into your future naked best gal-pal, and fighting off bandits."

"Eh..." Todd glanced at Wildfall. He seemed a loose enough guy- not in THAT way probably but... "Skinny dipping yeah- but not a best gal. Bloke I knew real well back in Aldara. A fifth of the local rotgut was involved in the matchmaking."

Wildfall looked away, blushing. "Sounds, ah, fun. I'd rather swim with Summer, though."

Todd and Wildfall suddenly jumped at the unexpected sensation of a finger tapping lightly on each of their shoulders. Todd turned around slowly, his fur seeming to be trying to keep him from doing so.

He then turned, eyes wide. The ninjas that had tapped them were female.. very female. They also were not wearing the usual form hiding robes but form fitting catsuits.. and there was plenty of form for these outfits to fit! Wildfall clutched his weapon a bit tighter at the sight of the two.

"Wha?" he asked, startled. "How'd you sneak up... oh, ninjas. Nevermind."

"We are ninja," one said. "We seek your aid."

"We seek your aid," the other said, "in our fight against the intruders."

"In our fight against the intruders," the first said, "we find ourselves outmatched, forced to retreat from the village."

"Forced to retreat from the village," concluded the other, "the invaders would surely be no threat to us."

Wildfall grinned. "That's why we're here."

Todd shook his head, having gotten a bit dizzy from the conversation whipsaw. "Yeah.. That's us... the men of the hour.. or the night." He regained some of his usual wit.

The two female ninjas giggled, sounding fairly young. Although in the 'clearly adult' sense of the word. "We're delighted to hear this, then."

"Hear this, then," ordered the other. "We should like to be your guides throughout the town."

"Throughout the town," said the other, "You'll find several places of conflict.. or entertainment.. or privacy."

The two girls pressed up against Wildfall and Blackpaws.

"Privacy," the other explained, "can only truly obtained by driving out the invaders once and for all."

"All," concluded the other, "we want is peace... and perhaps a chance to get to know you two."

Todd gave them another look over, trying not to drool. "Already wanted to kill 'em... man you make me want to REALLY kill 'em!"

"Kill 'em.. er.." Wildfall paused. "Dead."

"Dead.. and then we come back and... crap..."

Wildfall's resolve faltered. "Well, crap, this's hard."

Todd nodded. "Certainly is.. gonna have to make a pit stop down the road."

The two girls giggled as Wildfall struggled to figure that one out... and blushed a bit when he did, nodding in agreement. Without a word, they tugged Wildfall and Todd forward. They lead Wildfall and Todd into a small, empty hut and appraised them like meat.

"I must say, such nice legs," the first said.

The other giggled, shy but direct. "Legs, butts, arms."

"But arm yourselves well," the first said. "And go in our names."

"Our names," the second said. "Are Hope." She pointed to herself.

"Hope. And Destiny." The first pointed to herself as well.

Todd shifted, feeling uncomfortable in his pants as they eyed him like an Aldaran whore. Well, maybe a wee bit more respectfully than that. "Pleasure, ladies."

"A-a-anything for you two, Hope and Destiny," said Wildfall.

With that, the scene fades to a steamy black.. and then immediately fades back in, because nothing happened, sadly. The black was just because it's hot, and the steam for lack of light in the hut.

"Then let us go," Hope said.

"Go in our name," said Destiny. "And the name of our village, you shall."

"Shall we go with you?" Hope asked, well, hopefully.

Todd smirked. "That's gonna make what happens in the next five minutes a bit awkward. But sure."

"Then let you walk in the shadows," said Hope.

"And in the winds, shall we fly." They slipped behind Todd and Wildfall, hands on their bodies for a moment, but only a moment. When Todd and Wildfall turned to see what they were doing..

They were gone. Todd breathed a sigh- but of relief or... well we won't say here. "That was..."

"Whoa." Wildfall paused. "Ya sure five minutes'll be enough?"

Todd chuckled. "Way I feel five seconds might be enough!"

Wildfall smirked evilly. "Bet I'll be quicker than you."

Todd laughed. "Not something you want to hurry man. But I know what you mean." he sighed. "C'mon, mate.. don't want to mess up the place." He headed out of the hut.. a bit stiffly, mumbling "Where's the rotgut when I need it?"

So yeah, Wildfall and Todd seem to go together really well. Very similar and yet different enough to play off each other properly. It was a challenge and a blast trying to write for the two female ninjas and their unique speaking style as well. Next up, for the tenth piece of roleplaying, we'll jump back to Cattaras's story (along with Fahari and the others). After that, it's time for the Bearsmasher siblings!
