NOVEL NEXT Black And White
Chapter 75 : Black And White
**Note that in this chapter I decided to retcon Katrin’s tit size. They are now E-cups.**
“So… I’ve never really worked with a Succubus before. What type of abilities do you have as a specialist?” Vivian asked this as she faced the door while Agni and Katrin changed their clothes.
Agni thought for a moment before replying “Sexy crowd-control.”
She was currently in the nude, her soft silky skin exposed and yet she felt less awkward in the raw. She even took note of the shape of her own body at this time, glancing at herself in the mirror. She felt that her tits were well shaped and perpetually perky despite their C-cup size.
*How does that even make sense?* Agni thought to herself as she looked around the armory. Indeed there were various suits and outfits to choose from. Gigi chose their gear the last time and due to the fact that it was being borrowed neither Katrin nor Agni felt the need to object.
This was the first time that Agni was in a “shopping” experience. She was slowly beginning to see the appeal it held for women. So many fabrics, textures and colors -- it was sending her heart into a gentle flutter as her mood began to infinitely rise.
“Katrin...we have to go shopping for clothes later..” Agni said as her hands were drawn to several outfits which hung neatly on wooden clothes hangers. Meanwhile Vivian cocked her head back slightly to take in the sights.
*Her body is definitely fit enough. But what does that even mean? Sexy crowd control? I heard demonic type classes are very desire driven but this one seems normal enough. Even for a supposed demon of lust.* These were Vivian’s thoughts as she glanced over Agni’s naked form.
*The tail is….different though…* Vivian thought inwardly as she resisted the urge to grab it.
*That’s rude...you can’t go around fondling people’s tails…* She finally settled this matter with a single resolute thought.
Meanwhile Katrin was simply watching Agni change.
“So..you’re not going to pick something different?”
“I’m not sure. I kind of like what I’m wearing, but the color is my only gripe.” Katrin said as she looked down at her traditional witch’s outfit. The clothing was incredibly light and felt great against the skin.
“Oh. This would look great on you!” Agni said as she grabbed a hangar and thrust it towards Katrin.
“Really? You think so?” She said apprehensively. “This isn’t normally my color though..”
“Yes. And I’ll wear this one.” Agni said with a broad smile as she fingered the cloth between her hands.
While they were changing Agni was struck with a moment of envy as she watched Katrin call forth a bra and panty from her inventory.
“W-where did you get those!?” Agni asked, suddenly realizing that she could use some extra support.
“I always keep these with me. A girl’s got to have some support...especially for breasts like these.” Katrin shifted her position with a slight bounce so that her free E-cups would jiggle before Agni’s eyes.
*Normally I’d love that sight but..I want a bra!* Agni thought to herself as she glanced down at her own c-cup tits.
“We definitely need to go shopping..” She said once more.
“So wait-- you haven’t been wearing any underwear at all?” Katrin asked.
“Well...no….” Agni responded, suddenly feeling her ears grow warm.
A few minutes later both adventurers were completely changed.
They both opted for classic colors, black and white. In this case, Katrin lost the baggy witch’s outfit for a less traditional ankle length form fitting dress. It was ivory white in color and due to her massive mounds Katrin’s bosom pressed together, almost flowing over the scoop cut of the dress’ neckline. She also wore a witch’s hat to match, this one was a little less tall and more comfortable, allowing Katrin’s wavy brunette locks of hair to freely fall downward. The outfit was completed with matching cross tied sandal flats and a pair of elbow high white gloves. Katrin looked very stylish as the gloves were finger-less and also form fitting so they wouldn’t be a hindrance in a pinch.
By contrast Agni was dressed in all black. This was a contrast to her crimson colored hair and normally red eyes. She too wore a moderately sized black colored witch’s hat on her crown which had a maroon colored sash around the base of the hat. She selected the same type of form fitting dress, however this one had sharp angles as a jagged edge which stopped just past her knees. Rather than the thigh high boots, Agni opted for some sleek, black shin high alternatives with flat heels. Her dress was also comfortable and easy to move in, the v cut of the black number also showed off her cleavage. The only trouble was Agni’s tail, but she decided to coil it around her waist to avoid the need of modifying her dress.
Agni had a pair of black gloves as well which rose almost completely to her shoulders. Rather than fingerless, these gloves were more aggressive as the fingertips were shaped like claws. Seeing the slick styles they chose, Vivian also decided to get involved. She went to a certain corner of the room and came back with three items. Two necklaces, each with large inlaid gems which she handed to both of them.
“This is...really nice.” Agni remarked after viewing the amulet’s effect, it allowed her to regain 2 additional points of mana each cycle.
“These? They are just basic trinkets. Nothing too fancy.” Vivian replied.
“I’m sure our Scribe here will be able to make much better gear in time.” She then added as she watched the pair place on the accessories.
“This one is for you. I’d feel more comfortable if you had some kind of weapon. You’re more comfortable using flames right?” Vivian said as she handed Agni a magician’s staff.
“Ugh. I can’t use it.” Agni whimpered after checking out the extended weapon. Her system marked the item as inaccessible, making it useless.
“I see. What types of weapons can you use?” Vivian asked.
“Spears. Halberds. Bo Staves. Scythes -- oh and whips.” Agni listed off the types of weapons accessible to her.
“A staff should do it then.” Vivian went back to the armory and came back with a simple hard wood staff roughly 2/3rds of Agni’s height.
“This one doesn’t have any effects, but you can channel mana through the runes embedded along the staff’s length.” Vivian explained as she handed the weapon over to Agni. The pair looked each other up and down, feeling content that their outfits were now complete. Despite looking create all of the pieces were enchanted with various protections :
[Midnight Dress - R0
Classification : Magic Armor
Dampen - 3%
Plate - 5
Abs - 75 / 75
Spirit - N/A
Recharge Time - N/A
Desc: A form fitting dress imbued with protection from mystical materials.]
“This is actually better than the other armor I was wearing.” Agni thought to herself as she glanced over the stats of her currently equipped dress. Plate was equivalent to “defense” in video games while Dampen could be considered damage reduction. Abs was related to an armor’s own personal “hp” and could be considered an even further barrier to taking damage. The boots , hat and glove each had similar ratings.
“Those trinkets are pretty common. If you stick around I’ll show you the good stuff. Maybe.” Vivian said as she flicked open the fan she carried about. This time the image revealed a moon lit night as the half moon hid behind several clouds. Vivian smiled, though Agni couldn’t quite understand the meaning of this, as she led them out of the armory and across the chapel to the courtyard.
Along the way Agni noticed Gigi who seemed annoyed that she was now stuck at desk duty. Agni waved and in response Gigi perked up, smiling as the trio made their way to the open courtyard. When they walked out of the building they realized it was closer to midday and there were almost twenty people gathered together in the center of the open space. The Mystic Tower courtyard had a long cement pathway leading to the center where a single statue of Vivian stood. There underneath the shadow of the statue were the members of the expeditionary class.
“Oh -- Doyenne. What brings you to visit us today?” A young elven man asked as he interrupted his explanation to those crowded nearby.
