(Me sitting on my bed with my switch in hand) Come on! I need to catch a good fish. I have a debt to pay off.
Story Idea: Hello...Author...Hello!
Huh!? oh Hi Story. What's up.
Story: You know it's been a week right.
...Crap!
(I try and update at least once a week as long as I have the idea down already. I just don't always realize how fast time is passing. I've had a lot to do and unwind usually with games. I didn't realize it had already been a week. Sorry!)
Micro excused himself from the table once he was finished and followed Shiro out into the hall. The prince of Asgard motioned for him to follow and after a few minutes of walking they found a balcony with a table and a few chairs. A maid came up and dropped off some tea for them as they sat down.
“So,” Micro said as he drank his tea. “You wanted to talk about something?”
“Oh do I have an offer for you my friend,” Shiro said as he sipped his tea heavily laden with milk. “Tell me, do you like pranks?”
“A little,” Micro said. “Been considering pranking people with my modification ability. Transforming into the others, things like that. I just never got around to it between training and everything else.” That reminded him, he needed to schedule another trip to Japan. He did promise to visit Kobayashi, Tohru, and Kanna again.
“Well, how would you like to prank...A GOD!” Shiro said with a dramatic flare. “...well...a pair of demigods but still.”
“...Come again?”
“You saw my older brothers Magni and Modi right?” Micro nodded. “Well you see, they and I are in a prank war with each other and I would like to get your help.”
Micro just stared at Shiro.
“Isn’t one of them a giant?”
“Magni is half Jotun yes,” Shiro said. “But don’t worry. He loves a good prank as much as I do.”
“So…” Micro sighed. “What were you thinking we should do?”
“Well you see, my brothers are completely awkward around the opposite sex. They get all flustered. So I want you, or more specifically Perl, to flirt with them.”
“What!?”
“Flirt with them, seduce them, get them excited. And then, right when they think they are going to get a bit lucky, change back.”
Micro stared at the Tigerian and tried to process what he just heard.
“Shiro. It’s awkward enough dealing with the knowledge you flirt with my female form. Plus...Perl is a bit embarrassed to come out around you after the nightclub.”
“Well it’s a good thing you don’t need to transform around me,” Shiro said. “Besides, she seems like a prankster too. I mean, your fun loving attitude is even more prevalent in Perl.”
“Still! Why would I agree to this?”
“Well, I can make it worth your while,” Shiro said. “A reward so prestigious that it could literally be defined as godly!”
“...I’m listening…” Micro said hesitantly.
“Tell me,” Shiro said. “Do you like horses?”
“Sure…?”
“Do you like myth?”
“I think my freak out over meeting Thor and Frigga answers that.” Shiro laughs a bit at that.
“True enough. Tell me, do you know the legendary steed of Norse lore?”
“Yeah, Sleipnir. Why-” Suddenly it clicked in his mind. “You...you’re not saying!”
“Yep!”
“You’re saying, if I help in this prank on your brothers, I can ride the battle steed of legend?”
“Well...we do have to clear it with him first. It shouldn’t be a problem though. He likes a good prank as much as I do.” Micro grinned a bit in excitement before closing his eyes in concentration. When he opened them he took a deep breath.
“Perl is willing to come out to discuss what outfit you think would work best for this. The only thing she asks is that you don’t bring up last night or flirt.”
“Deal,” Shiro said. He figured Perl would be a bit awkward around him after last night. He knew the ring prevented her from doing something she didn’t want, but it would take a bit before she accepted it herself.
In a flash, Micro was gone and Perl stood in his place.
“Umm…” She blushed and avoided looking in his eyes. “What...what outfit do you think I should wear?”
Shiro thought for a moment and hummed to himself.
“Well, they are old fashion Asgardians so they have a fondness for warriors. They also confessed to me they like a nice pair of legs. I’m thinking something leathery with a short skirt.”
Perl swallowed her nerves and looked through her inventory. With a quick flick of her hand, she equips a top that looks like Katarina’s from League of Legends and a short black skirt. Her belt came with twin daggers and she wore metal studded boots.
“What do you think?” Perl said, shifting a little nervously. Shiro smiled at her.
“Well, it is a bit harder to stick to our deal than I originally thought.” Perl blushed a bit at that and looked down.
“I’m...sorry I made things so awkward…”
“Don’t worry about it,” Shiro said. “You just need to relax a bit. I mean, I’m not awkward around Micro despite the fact I essentially made out with his body last night.”
Perl couldn’t help but laugh a bit at that. Shiro smiled at seeing that before continuing.
“So, we have a great outfit, now we just need to talk to Sleipnir and make sure he is cool with the idea and we are good to go.”
“Well then, let’s go!” Perl said and turned. As she walked away, Shiro noticed a bit of a sway in her hips that threatened to flick the skirt up and reveal what was underneath. Perl looked back over her shoulder with a slight blush and a smile.
“You know,” Shiro said. “If you purposefully flirt with me, I’ll consider it fair play to flirt with you.” Perl giggled.
“I’m just happy Sweetie didn’t slap me for it. I know she accepts you being with other girls but it seems like it would be awkward for it to be one of your friends.” Though she did sleep with her best friend’s brother.
“She’s actually shocked that we haven’t already banged,” Shiro said. Perl went crimson and turned away.
“W-well,” she stammered. “I don’t know about that...but if you want to make comments...that shou;dn’t be too awkward.”
“Well then,” Shiro said behind her. “As much as I love watching you sway your hips, I’m the one that knows where we are going so I need to lead.”
“Hehe...whoops,” Perl said.
“Well, follow me,” Shiro said. He walked past her and Perl burst out laughing as he was popping his own hips. He wore a skirt as well and the exaggerated popping was revealing more than hers was.
“Work it boy!” She said. Shiro laughed with her, a smile on his face. He was happy to help her get past the awkwardness.
