He had met the enemy, and she had a rocking body. Completely twisted mind. Priority was warped beyond comprehension and ultimately futile given her daughter's personality, but Rick had to admit that he was rather enjoying the view from back here as she led him down the corridor.
"This is a very rare privilege Mister Rick," Sophia said. "You are being granted access to one of the most secure buildings in the nation. Normally it is utterly impenetrable to the general public, but my daughter seemed rather adamant that you could be useful. My little Anna is a tremendous judge of character."
Bullshit. As in, bullshit you could smell from a hundred miles away. Sophia was a lot of things, but "stupid" wasn't one of them. You don't set up a system like this with yourself in charge of everything without being at least a little smart, and plenty people smart while you're at it. No matter how much this woman may pamper her daughter letting some random unvetted stranger right into the heart of the very thing that lets your dictatorship in disguise function was not a thing that happened.
Which meant that she was suspicious of him, and was leading directly towards trying to arrest him. Well, good luck to her. He'd got his ass out of tighter security than this, from civilisations with much more advanced technology, with asses far tighter than hers. For one thing he could always just call home through an implant in his fake peacemaker, and that was that. But no, he would only do that as a last resort, this world desperately needed saving. This had gone past the point of spreading a philosophy that free sexuality was far more exciting than normal life. This was literally saving the sanity and free will of all these citizens from an overbearing lunatic of a mother.
"It's all very impressive," Rick said. Yes, impressive. Many things a tyranny does are impressive on the surface. Especially things like security. He'd half expected to be patted down or strip searched, but that didn't seem to be necessary: They seemed to have a scanning device that could see through clothing, and of course Rick was not stupid enough to carry anything like a weapon. Not their mission, not their style. "It's certainly an honour that you're trusting me with this."
"Naturally," Sophia replied. She gestured to her right. There were a few dozen men and women in white coats working furiously at computers. "Those are our data crunchers. They pull in the hard data from our peacemakers across the nation. They're looking for trends that might catch out some of our more devious deviants. Sadly there's only so much they can do... Until the new system is implemented, of course. Then they will have full body biometrics, total knowledge of body language and behavioural quirks. We'll know they're about to break the law before they do!"
Right, of course. That was one of the forgotten aspects of Orwell's masterpiece, the way that Big Brother kept control over society. The threat that you might be watched. The knowledge and certainty that the slightest unexpected piece of expression could be turned against you, so that you could be accused of a thought crime. It was horrifying to consider, but they used that to detect undesirables and then administer the proper punishment.
And Rick could tell that he was being watched right now. Most ordinary people couldn't, but he could. There were hidden cameras in this facility. Right, of course. That's why she brought him here. A lab rat. She definitely suspects something is up with him, so she's having his biometrics studied right here.
"It all sounds pretty thorough," Rick admitted, blinking and focusing the smallest amount of lustful energy directly into his eyes so he could add a little extra to his perspective. As expected: Sophia was like a giant blind spot. If he directed any of this energy into her, she'd suck it up like a sponge and feel absolutely nothing. So thoroughly devoted to her ideal that she was like a black hole of prudishness, and unlike her daughter was nowhere naive enough to fall for the same trick. "I can't possibly imagine how I could help you any further."
"It always helps to have an outsider's perspective," Sophia explained. "To keep up with the ero-terrorists we must change our thinking, adapt and evolve. And as anyone would understand, evolution cannot work without mutation."
"So I'm a mutant?" he joked. Let's see then... Aha! The pair of eyes discreetly watching him right now were a woman. Late twenties, a real serious go-getter who had thrown herself into the work. Had a nice enough body but was too shy to open herself up to relationships. Interesting. Not just that, but that he was able to tell that much. He'd absorbed way too much energy from those girls! "Gee, I'm flattered. Could you be a little more exact in what you had in mind?"
"I was wondering if you might trial run our new system," Sophia asked, sounding smooth as silk yet also as poisonous as cyanide. "Tell us what you think from your unique perspective."
"Ah, no!" Rick held up his hands. "Not sure that's such a great plan. I mean, wouldn't you rather I supervise a test or something like that?"
"Oh, I do insist," Sophia said. She let out a single, lonely chuckle and then snapped her fingers. Huh. Suddenly appearing grunts replete with firearms. Nice trick. "An ero-terrorist like you will make the perfect lab rat."
"Ero-terrorist?" Rick calmly asked. "Why, whatever gives you that idea?"
"I'm not stupid, Mister Rick," Sophia said, dropping the veneer of charm and letting the tyrant out to play for all to see. "I don't know how you fooled our system for so long, but we have several layers of safeguards the general public does not know anything about. Trying to corrupt my daughter, was that your intention? How foolish! My beacon of purity will reject your dirty minded attempts!"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Rick insisted. Keeping his hands up. "Really now, there's no need for any of this -"
"Save it, you filthy pervert!" Sophia snapped. Heh. That smug look on her face would be almost beautiful if not for the insane philosophy underneath. "You two, take him to the testing chamber. We'll see soon enough how long he lasts, our tests will break his spirit in no time at all.
And so Rick was led off, hands on top of his scalp. Off towards the testing room for their new system, whatever that meant. Or to put it another way... "Oh no," Rick whispered. "Whatever you do, don't throw me into that there Briar Patch..."
<hr>
Somehow, some way, Tanukichi was able to drag himself out that thrice blasted room on legs so shaky you'd think his bones had been replaced with jelly. It turns out that sex takes a lot out of you. That was good to know. Better still, he'd learned that sex with different people felt just as amazing, but also totally different. That was probably a good thing. It meant that his expectations wouldn't be set in stone for any other babe he decided to bang.
Ugh, that thought was so unlike him. And he really had to try to stop smiling, his cheeks were starting to hurt.
"Hey there, handsome!" a girl asked while sauntering by. "Wow, you're so fit. You've got to tell me your workout routine."
At this moment Tanukichi realised two rather frightening things: The first, she was right. Looking at his arm Tanukichi could see that it was much, much bigger than before. He had muscles. It looked like he'd spent more time at the gym than at school this last year. He patted down his chest, and felt beneath the school uniform that there was a much manlier torso than he'd woken up with this morning. Ah, and he was pretty sure that normally his penis shaft didn't go down to about three quarter the way to his knees.
This must be Rick's doing! Somehow, whatever it is that his kind does to reality was making him sexier because he'd had sex! Or something. He guessed?
As for the other thing, that was actually more worrying. That girl was wearing the same uniform Anna had been earlier. He gulped and took a good look around as a few other students wandered by. There were a bunch of girls, almost all of them surrounded by about three or four guys and they were all absolutely the centre of attention. All of them wearing that uniform, with those trousers that hugged the lower half of their body like a second skin, leaving so little to the imagination that even he, sex tipsy as he still felt, still couldn't help but let his eyes go wandering. Up those legs, around those hips, then onto the specially designed blouse that seemed determined to magnetise the male gaze directly to the chest...
It wasn't just the clothes either. The body language, there was something about the way they were moving that simply drew the eye along a curved path. And to make matters worse, every single girl had at least two hearts in her eyes. Not as bad as Anna, but not a good sign either.
Literally the only reason he didn't wander over and join the nearest group of boys in their open flirtation of these horny babes was because he'd just laid probably the two hottest in the school. One after the other. It gave him a lot more resistance to... This whatever it was than anyone else. So he scurried off getting more and more worried the more copies of that uniform he saw being worn, and in particular the way the people around them were behaving.
"Anna..." Tanukichi whispered. "Oh no! I have to find Anna before she hands us over to that dimension of- " he fingered his Peacemaker and thought of the various illegal words he could probably use to finish that sentence.
It wasn't fair. From a world where dirty jokes were forbidden, to a world where dirty jokes would be mandatory. Who wants to swing from one extreme to the other? Couldn't they find a happy medium somewhere in the middle? If such a world existed then it was his duty to lead them there! First thing's first, he had to track down the amazingly beautiful girl who was completely obsessed with him, lured him into a frankly torrid sequence of forbidden biological education and was wandering around wearing the same clothes as all these other girls.
And though he was ashamed to admit it, Tanukichi had to admit one thing. If it were possible for individual parts of the body to speak, then his penis would have let out a tiny "Yay!"
- Meanwhile, where on earth has Anna found these uniforms so quickly?
- Rick is strapped in and tested. Now he can access their Peacemaker system, and corrupt it from within!
- Tanukichi sneaks through the school trying super hard to avoid all the almost-sex going on around him.
- Hyouka is experimenting with something or other.
- By now, Oboro has become extremely proficient at seduction and "discharging love nectar." But he's still got the same personality as before.
- Something else
