School Days - Persona
Starlight was worried that the students would chicken out, but as she and Trixie walked to school together, they were both happy to see that everyone was still in costume, and still happily role playing. Trixie especially was having the time of her life being Starlight’s pet cat, holding onto Starlight’s arm and happily purring.
“Someone’s enjoying themselves,” Starlight chuckled.
“I didn’t think I’d enjoy being a cat so much, but I could get used to this,” Trixie said nuzzling Starlight, who was once again struck by how accurate she sounded to a real cat purring.
“Honestly, so could I,” Starlight leered at Trixie, looking down the top of her dress, “The view’s very nice.”
Trixie giggled, a light blush on her cheeks, “Glad you’re appreciating it. As long as it’s for you, I can be sexy like this. It’s nice every so often, you know?”
Starlight nodded in agreement. She did enjoy the attention she got for dressing provocatively, and got a ton of compliments for her costume yesterday. From what she heard, everyone did, especially Pinkie Pie, who according to everyone who saw her, radiated the tragic air of her chosen character perfectly.
Speaking of Pinkie Pie…
“Have you gotten to really talk to Pinkie Pie about, you know?” Starlight asked Trixie, who shook her head.
“No, I haven’t. She keeps insisting that she’s okay but, I dunno…” Trixie frowned, “Seems kinda forced, you know? What about you? Has your Empathic Touch revealed anything?”
Starlight shook her head. Every time she tried to get close enough to use her Empathic Touch on Pinkie Pie, she always pulled away right before she could fully get an impression, and her emotions were super guarded.
In fact, she got the impression of Serenity every time she tried. Almost like Pinkie Pie was using her Persona to block out Starlight’s magic.
All of this she explained to her girlfriend, who pursed her lips, “She’s hiding something. Something big.”
“Let’s keep an eye on her today,” Starlight said, “Make sure she doesn’t have a meltdown or anything.”
“Agreed,” Trixie nodded, but then sighed, “I hate keeping her waiting in there…”
Starlight did too, but they couldn’t do anything until after Midterms. Hopefully things wouldn’t be too bad, and they could get her out as soon as possible. They still only had a week to rescue Rarity. Not a lot of time, all things considered.
This was going to be close, either way…
Daytime
Today’s Midterms were all Science based, so she had a full dose of Cheerilee today as well. She decided to go as the Bride of Frankenstein, which was honestly pretty appropriate for her. She wore the costume well, too.
Science, was Starlight’s worst subject. She knew she wasn’t going to do well on this one, despite studying extra hard on this. She was sure that her Physics score would save her from failing this, Chemistry and Biology damn near killed her. She was not pleased with her performance on these tests at all.
Afternoon
“Aw, cheer up, Leader,” Rainbow Dash said, Pinkie Pie beside her and rubbing her back, “I’m sure you’ll do good on the other tests.”
“So long as you don’t fail Math and History tomorrow, you should be fine,” Pinkie Pie said, “Hey, what if we all go to the library together and study for a bit?”
“Sounds good to me,” Rainbow Dash nodded, “Hey, let’s track down Lulamoon, see if she’s up for joining us too.”
Starlight nodded, feeling a bit better knowing her friends would help her out.
“I’ll meet up with everyone at the library,” Pinkie Pie said, “I’m gonna get some books from my locker.”
“I’ll come with,” Rainbow Dash offered, but Pinkie Pie giggled and shook her head.
“It’s fine, Dashie. It’ll only take a few minutes,” she leaned into Rainbow Dash, “Wait for me, my knight.”
Rainbow Dash sighed with a slight smile, “Okay. I’ll wait for you in the library.”
“Thanks,” Pinkie Pie kissed Rainbow Dash and then hugged her and Starlight, “See you in a bit, girls~”
As Pinkie Pie skipped off, Rainbow frowned. Starlight asked Rainbow how she seemed, “Honestly, about the same as this. I know when she’s hiding something, but she refuses to tell me anything.”
“I can’t get anything form her with my empathy either,” Starlight sighed, “She keeps using Serenity to block it when I try.”
“Damn it, Pinkie Pie,” Rainbow Dash growled, “What’s going on with you?”
She knew that she was coming off evasive, and it was making her friends worry, but she needed to take this time to herself. Especially after last night in the Dungeon. She still hadn’t told them about the latest development, mostly because she wasn’t sure how to approach the topic. That Blueblood’s Shadow was-
Disquiet - Persona 5
Two hands appeared at the sides of her head, trapping her behind her locker, “You’re looking lovely today, “Your Majesty”.”
Pinkie Pie closed her eyes tightly, “Blueblood.”
“Pinkie Pie, let me!”
Pinkie Pie took a deep breath, and mentally moved aside, feeling Serenity jump into control. She then turned to glare at Blueblood, who was one of the few students not in costume today. During Halloween though, he came as a Robin Hood styled thief. Him being a thief was a much better look than what he was now in the Dungeon.
How his Shadow managed a position like that, Pinkie Pie wasn’t sure she wanted to know.
“What do you want, Blueblood?” Pinkie Pie/Serenity asked, “My friends are waiting for me.”
“I’m sure they can wait a few minutes,” Blueblood said, caressing her cheek, only for Pinkie Pie to lightly slap his hand away, “Oho! The Princess has spirit!”
“You’re a real piece of work,” Pinkie Pie said, “Bad enough you gaslight Trixie. Now, you not only got Rarity to spread her legs for you, but you’re coming to me now? You really are pathetic.”
“Watch it, Pinkamena,” he narrowed his eyes, “Your “knight”, the witch, and her pet pussy aren’t here to protect you.”
“I don’t need them to protect me,” Pinkie Pie said, “Least of all from a scumbag like you. Now, why don’t you get the part where you tell me what you want, so I can tell you to fuck off, and go about my day?”
“You know exactly what I want,” Blueblood leaned in, sniffing her hair, “Little Miss Maverick, turning the school against Principal Cinch like this.”
“Okay, no. That’s not happening,” Pinkie Pie went to push him off of her, “Now, why don’t you go shove your dick into a meat grinder or somethi-” he grabbed her wrists and held them to her locker, making her gasp.
This was just like what happened in the Dungeon. Oh God, this was his Shadow pushing through in the real world…!
“And here I was, trying to be nice,” Blueblood growled, “How about this then. Either you come spend some quality time with me, or I just track down Miss President and give it to her even rougher? Your call?”
“What, is even the point of this?” Pinkie Pie’s heart was racing, “You and I barely talk to each other, we have virtually no connection outside of the fact you abused one of my friends and are now abusing another.”
“If anything, it’s your own fault, dressing all sexy like this,” he lifted her wrists above her head, holding them together with one hand and groping her with the other hand, “You, Beatrix, Rainbow Dash, and Starlight always walk around like you own the place. Makes me sick, you know? Like you think you’re better than the rest of us.”
“Pretty sure, that’s, just you,” Pinkie Pie tried not to moan, but her breasts were really sensitive. Not helped by that potion seeming to have a lingering effect on her. She looked around, praying someone was there to see this. That someone was going to walk by and see what he was doing.
“Hoping someone will see?” Blueblood sneered, “Don’t bother. I checked. No one is in this hall except for us,” he squeezed a bit more now, making Pinkie Pie close her eyes tightly, “Concerning you, I just figured I’d knock you down a peg. Make sure you remember who runs this school.”
“Not, you, I know, that!” Pinkie Pie gritted her teeth, and tried to twist her wrists free of his grip. Damn it! Why was he so strong right now?! Was this because she was imprisoned in Rarity’s Dungeon too?!
“Please. My father might as well be Cinch’s boss, and I’m her favorite student as a result of being his son,” Blueblood narrowed his eyes, “He could buy this school if he wanted, and with it, I’d practically own everyone in this dump, you especially. Now, I’m going to get some either way, but it’s up to you if I’ll be getting it from you, or if you’re going to throw “Dirty Diamond” under the bus to save your own ass.”
Pinkie Pie looked down and shut her eyes. This was all a game to him. He had no other reason to do any of this than to just torture her and Rarity. Her heart was racing so much that her chest hurt, and she wanted to cry so bad right now. She never hated anyone in her life, but Blueblood was close.
But what she hated most, was what she knew she was going to do…
Someone did see this though. They were a young girl with curly light blue hair and red eyes, watching this from behind a corner. She wore a somewhat revealing black and red ninja costume, choosing to take part in the festivities. She worked hard on this Ninja costume, and she was going to wear it, damn it.
“You’re playing a dangerous game. You have no idea that you've put yourself in check,” she said, pulling out a red rook chess piece, her prized possession, and admiring it, “Can't wait to see this blow up in your face, Big Brother…”
end song
Starlight, Trixie, and Rainbow Dash had since met up and reserved a table in the library toward the back. Here they could study in peace and talk about Persona relates stuff without anyone overhearing.
Right now though, all anyone could focus on was the one who was now close to twenty minutes late, and hadn’t answered her phone.
“I knew it,” Rainbow Dash paced back and forth, “I knew I should have just insisted on going with her.”
“I’ll try calling her again,” Trixie said, pulling out her phone, “Maybe she’ll pick up this time.”
Starlight looked by the library entrance and saw Pinkie Pie step inside slowly. Her eyes were closed, and she looked really upset about something, “She’s here, but something’s wrong.”
Rainbow Dash looked, and was about to run over to her, but Trixie held out a hand to stop her, “Lulamoon-”
“Let her come here to us,” Trixie urged, “We don’t want to make a scene, just in case something did happen.”
Rainbow Dash sighed and nodded, letting Pinkie Pie approach them. Immediately once she arrived, she fell into Rainbow Dash’s arms, crying in her chest.
Living with Determination - Persona 3
“Tell us what happened,” Rainbow Dash requested gently, Trixie and Starlight standing beside them.
“I’m sorry…” she sobbed, “I, had no choice…”
Starlight looked around a bit before speaking, “Pinkie Pie, I’m going to use my Empathic Touch, okay? Will you let me?” Pinkie hesitated, but she eventually nodded. Starlight placed her hand on Pinkie Pie’s back and opened herself up.
Blueblood…! He’s still in Rarity’s Dungeon, and he got to me…! I, I had no choice but to let him have his way, otherwise he’d…
Starlight pulled her hand back and sucked in a breath, “Blueblood…”
“What did he do to Pinkie Pie?” Trixie asked in a low voice, her ears folding back and her tail standing up, getting noticeably fatter.
“Not sure what he did to her here,” Starlight spoke in a low voice, “But he definitely is still inside Rarity’s Dungeon, and I think he got to Pinkie Pie, and forced himself onto her.”
Trixie’s eyes widened, and she turned to look at Pinkie Pie, “Oh God no… Pinkie Pie, I don’t…”
Rainbow Dash held Pinkie Pie tighter, “We have to get her out of that Dungeon…”
“I’ll, I’ll be fine, for one more night.”
“Um, I strongly disagree,” Trixie protested, “I know Blueblood, okay? Once he gets his grips on you, he doesn’t let go. At least if we free you, we can-”
“Girls, I did it to protect Rarity,” Pinkie Pie said weakly, “If I hadn’t, he’d have brutalized her. He gave me an ultimatum. Either, I do what he says… or he takes it out, on Rarity…”
Starlight shut her eyes. She hated it, but Pinkie Pie might have just saved Rarity’s life. Still though…
“Leader, I need you to make the call here,” Rainbow Dash said, “Because I know what I want to do, and I’m sure that’s the wrong move.”
Starlight sighed, “Sad as it is, it sounds like he made it so Pinkie Pie went to him “willingly”, so even if we try to tell anyone, he’d just spin this in his favor.”
“And with Cinch’s Shadow being the Dungeon Master, I can guarantee you she won’t do anything to help us,” Trixie sighed, “Damn it…! So what do we do? Nothing?”
“Right now, the most we can do is empower and uplift Pinkie Pie in the real world,” Starlight said, “What happens out here affects the dream world, so that means there’s a chance that Rarity’s safe in the Dungeon, at least from him. Pinkie Pie just needs to last one more night in there, and then we can rescue her. So let’s just focus on ensuring she can survive that night.”
“Girls, Blueblood took pictures of it,” Pinkie Pie said softly, “He, even recorded me, taking my costume off, for him.”
“Leave that to me,” Rainbow Dash assured Pinkie Pie, “They’re on his phone, right? I get that, I can delete 'em.”
“Without him knowing?” Pinkie Pie asked. Rainbow Dash made a finger gun motion to one of the lights in the library and shot at it, making the light go out suddenly.
“Without him knowing,” Rainbow Dash smiled, “So no fretting, alright Princess?”
Pinkie Pie nodded, now smiling a bit, “Thank you, my Knight.”
Trixie looked to the side thinking, “You know, there’s a chance the thing he’s using to blackmail Rarity is on that phone too.”
“You think he’d be that dumb to keep it on his phone?” Starlight asked Trixie.
“I think he’d be that cocky,” Trixie corrected, “Blueblood thinks he’s untouchable because of who his Dad is. He doesn’t have to worry, because chances are, his Dad’s going to bail him out of any real trouble. Now, it’d be smarter to save them on his computer or something, but if he thought THAT far ahead, I'd be genuinely surprised. ”
“If he loses those pictures, then he can’t keep blackmailing Rarity,” Rainbow Dash smirked, “Alright then. When the time is right, I’ll get a hold of his phone and get those pictures off it.”
“You’re going to be fine, Pinkie Pie,” Starlight assured her, “In this Coven, we look out for our Sisters.”
“Thank you, girls,” Pinkie Pie smiled tearfully, “Thank you all so much.”
Spike, still wearing his Riku Halloween Costume (KH2), listened closely from behind the bookcase nearest them. He had no idea what they meant by Dungeons, or how Rainbow Dash shorted out that light, but he knew two things for certain.
Blueblood was raping Rarity, and he just did the same thing to Pinkie Pie.
“I fucking knew it,” Spike said, looking at his phone, of the picture of Rarity laying on the floor, blazer and blouse open, panties removed with cum coating her vaginal area and leaking out, a look of utter exhaustion and shame on her face, “I knew you wouldn’t fuck that asshole without being forced…”
He pocketed his phone and then walked off. He didn’t know what Rainbow Dash was going to do, but she needed Blueblood’s phone, right? He could get a hold of that no problem. It was dishonest, sure, but anything to help Rarity.
Regardless of whether or not she ever returned his feelings, Blueblood crossed a line big time by hurting his friend.
