It was quite the scene at the sleepover, not ten minutes (thanks to some clever use of temporal technology) later. The girls all nice and relaxed, casting the occasional sidelong longing glance at Ataru, him looking back at them with unashamed, naked lust, Shutaro Mendo staring at a sheath of papers and twitching just below the threshold where the word "violently" could be used to describe it.
All in all, so far as Lum was concerned things were looking great so far. Everyone was having fun thanks to her careful research and preparation. Yep, yep! This time around she'd properly understood this weird Earth thing and managed to not make a total pig's ear out of it. So yeah, everyone was having fun!
"Hehehe, I get it now," Shutaro muttered darkly under his breath while reading through the survey results. "Ryoko must have blackmailed the other girls, or coerced them in some way in advance, to make them all write such ridiculous things. Yes, that is the only thing that makes any kind of sense, I can't even accuse the questions of being leading, and I watched them fill them out... I mean, it's actually pretty bad market research practice anyway, doing a survey about someone who is in the room with you at that very moment, clearly that would bias the results even if there wasn't shenanigans going on behind the scenes..."
Everyone except Mendo, who didn't really count. Yay! Lum was really glad to see that things were going well, which meant it was time to move on to the next portion of the evening. Which, according to her list, meant...
"Snack time!" Lum called. "We have to order in a food delivery next, tcha!"
"Oh, I couldn't possibly," Shinobu said while her stomach made very interesting sounds. "I'm supposed to be on a diet. Must watch my figure." Then, from deep within her slender figure, a noise like a wolf howling at the moon echoed out, resulting in Shinobu elbowing herself in the stomach to keep herself quiet. "Ah, but if everyone else is having something I probably shouldn't sit out."
"Lum, just to make sure, but we should order locally," Ataru said, waving his finger in her face. "You should know by now that alien food and human food aren't anything alike, right? You can take ours better than we can take yours."
"Take... yours..." Ryoko gulped nervously for some reason. She grabbed a glass of water as though it was a lifeline, and downed it in a single go. Huh. Weird. That probably didn't mean anything important. "As if it was something he could merely reach out and snatch away at will..."
"You got someplace in mind to order from?" Ryuunosuke asked. Actually, Lum hadn't thought that far ahead yet. She was hoping that someone else could make the choice instead.
Like a scared stoat sticking its head out of its nest, Shutaro Mendo stuck his head up with growing confidence until he was all the way upright. "Order in food?" he said. "Hehehehe! I shall have the finest chefs in all of Asia here within the hour! No, ten minutes! You shall have your selection from caviar, foi gras, oyster, any manner of endangered beast -"
It was funny. That almost came off less like his usual pompous self, and more like... he was truing a little too hard to show off. In any event, Ataru leaped heroically across the floor to get in Mendo's face, setting more than one face flush from watching his lithe, deceptively athletic frame put to good use
"Hey, what're you up to this time, mister moneybucks?" Ataru asked. "Can't get by on looks or personality, so gotta get by on a a big fat wallet?"
He was right. That thought sort of hung in the air of everyone in the room. Mendo couldn't get by on looks or personality and relied entirely on his family's cash to get what he wanted. Even the boy himself was starting to think that, due to the mind affecting potpourri carefully secreted around the room.
"N-Not at all!" Mendo lied, and it sounded like a lie to pretty much all of them. "I am simply being thoughtful and considerate. Not many wealthy youths would think to share the fruits of their family's labour with those beneath them."
Alas, as if the universe itself had conspired against him, his own little sister - noted for being just the worst person, seriously she was horrid - piped up, coughed politely into her hand and said "I have already taken the precaution of ordering morsels from every restaurant in town. We shall not want for food tonight, of that I can assure you."
"B-But Ryoko! " Mendo whined, but then deflated like a balloon to turn towards Ataru, and -
It's worth stepping back a second to explain something. Mendo could see Ataru's face just fine. He could see that Ataru was sticking his tongue out in a mocking way. The girls, they could only see his back. Not that they were all staring at his back, per se. Anyway, the point was that none of them had that full context for when Mendo said -
"That wicked tongue of yours! You've corrupted my sister with it, haven't you? Turning her against me with it!"
He merely meant that they had allied to put him through hell, but the other girls... they took it differently. Indeed, all the girls except Ryoko were looking at her in a new light. Well, okay, not Ryuunosuke as she wasn't quite dirty minded enough (yet, give her time) to grasp this. But...
<i>"Ohhh, Ataru! I'm yours!" Ryoko moaned as Ataru licked her, teased her with his tongue. His wicked, perverted tongue. "I shall even betray my own flesh and blood for your sake! Please, don't stop for anything!"</i>
Ryoko, meanwhile, only caught on to what the others were probably thinking after a couple of seconds, and felt something rare for her. Total and abject humiliation! The very idea of it. Her giving into a boy who was <i>not, <b>not <u>not</u></b</i> a sex god was absolutely ludicrous!
Alas, her shock at this new feeling caused her to react in a way that she'd often made fun of in others. Overcompensation, making it clear that a soft spot had been stepped on.
"I'm quite certain there's nothing at all wicked about Master Moroboshi's tongue," she said a little too loudly and a little too quickly. "Ahem! In any event, order in any meal that you wish, all expenses shall be paid for tonight."
"Any meal we wish?" Ataru said, suddenly in front of her and way too into her personal space for Ryoko's liking. No. Stop. Back off. If you're that close it makes her feel strange. "So how about if I ordered you with a side of -"
"Darling!" Lum yelled, dragging him away from Ryoko by the arm. "Hmph! That's it then, I've decided. To keep you from getting up to any mischief tongiht, I'm going to... I'm going to sit in your lap all the way through dinner! How about that?"
One word rang through the heads of everyone else present, though for slightly different reasons in Mendo's case. That word was 'lucky'. The girls all visualised themselves in Lum's place. Sitting in Ataru's lap. Feeding him food. Letting him touch them however he wanted.
"Awww, Lum! Why you gotta spoil my fun?" Ataru stuck his tongue, his wicked, dangerous tongue out at her. Lum stared at it, going crosseyed in the process. "There's a whole bunch of cute girls for me to hit on, you can't keep me contained forever!"
<hr>
It turned out that Lum could indeed keep him there forever. It was so weird. He wasn't restrained at all. The only thing holding him in place was Lum sitting on his lap, but it turned out that was all it took. She wasn't heavy or anything. In fact, she was light as a feather.
The only conclusion he could reach was that... well, as much as he hated t oadmit it, Lum was a smoking hot babe, and it turned out that she was a pretty awful fidget. You try being a pervert, then try to move when a cute girl in a bikini grinds her butt all over your junk. You'd stay there. Hell, many non-perverts would stay there. For days. Weeks. Even a whole year.
"I still say this is outrageous..." Mendo fumed. "Having Miss Lum debase herself like that!"
"Us girls can all take turns keeping him in check," Tansho suggested.
"N-No, but that would be almost worse..." Mendo sank lower into his chair. Oh, mercy. Was this a dream? Some kind of weird fantasy he was lost in? Everything was turning up Ataru today! Lum not shocking him after hitting on a girl, and instead giving him a lapdance while -
"Here, Darling. I know you like this kind of fish."
While feeding him regular human food in a cute affectionate way! Ah, it was pure bliss! He didn't normally show her any signs of affection in case it gave her ideas, but just this once should be alright, maybe? He let his hands wander down to her thighs, and began to smooth out his palms. Warm. Tingly. He waited for Lum to comment or react - though her reaction wasn't exactly what he was expecting.
No commentary. She didn't leap at him. She didn't even look at him. In fact, all she seemed to do was brace herself against the table while - was it his imagination or were the other girls a bit on the envious side?
...
Probably his imagination. He'd been told a little too often that he tended to apply a certain filter over what was going on around him, to make it seem the most perverted. A good example of that was Shinobu. There’s no real she would be so horny about him when she dumped him ages ago!
- Mendo tries to do something to either get Lum off Ataru, or get some other girl on him. It backfires hilariously.
- It’s time for Ryuunosuke to unintentionally get more inducted into this up and coming sex cult.
- A lightbulb goes on over Ataru's head. Waaait a minute, what's going on here?
- Some more girls join the sleepover.
- Something else
