LORE24 ENTRY #49 – Supers Month #18 – Momo-Chan

 

From the Personal Journal of Jennifer Tempest…

 

I don’t believe that in my entire history as a medical doctor have I felt so absolutely vexed as I have than with the woman known only as Momo-Chan.  She is a most unique case, with a most unique and troublesome ability given the nature of my facility.  She is a mystery as well, no background information to speak of; even Bobbi has been unable to locate any of her records within government databases after days spent diving into cyberspace.  She may as well not exist at all as far as a digital presence outside of the records held within Edgewater’s secure servers. 

During her stay at Edgewater, I personally handled her therapy sessions and she managed to avoid giving me any details about her past, and worryingly, resisted my natural charms, even when I impressed them so strongly upon her that I was certain she would notice my supernatural influence upon her.  Perhaps she did and simply said nothing about it?  A troubling thought in its own right.  All I managed to glean from her is that she once worked for the United States government as something of a spy and assassin, and was subjected to one of their many super-soldier programs, though in her case, it failed quite dramatically.  Following the procedure, though she came out of it possessing an amazing accelerated healing ability and resistance to both poisons and diseases, she was left completely dead to any sensation of pain not unlike a CIPA patient, though without the other medical issues most commonly associated with the condition.  Several very thorough procedures by Dr. Bayne and Dr. del Vecchio tested this condition in depth, and in some cases most gruesomely, though Momo-chan consented to all of it without apparent worry.

Perhaps this condition would have been beneficial for a spy to resist torture, but the procedure also left her with a crippling mental condition, namely a psychological need to feel latex upon her body.  Momo-chan cannot function without a full-body latex catsuit and a gas-mask to cover her face (though she is fine with having some area around her neck as well as her hair exposed, as long as the mask is in place).  Tests within Edgewater, when the latex was removed, provoked a response as though her very skin had been peeled off; removing the mask, she cries out for her face to be returned.  Given more than a few minutes in such a state, she becomes nearly catatonic until she is able to recover her ‘skin’ and her ‘face’.

Her mental state would be an absolutely fascinating study, and I have no doubt, that with enough time, I could have a breakthrough with her, but Momo-chan’s most troublesome ability is too much of a security risk for her to remain on an indefinite stay here.  Momo-chan, despite all attempts to the contrary, cannot be contained.  None of the restraints, secure cells, air-tight isolation rooms we have devised thus far have been able to keep her in place.  We’ve had multiple cameras trained on her, and I have sat within a few feet of her and watched her escape the most stringent restraints, and neither myself nor any of my staff, even Specialist Leopard or Bobbi, can figure out exactly how she does it.  She simple wiggles a bit, then the gear falls off, or if she’s in a secure cell, walks up to the door and slips through it, somehow.  It’s maddening!  How can she possibly do it?!  She doesn’t take an attitude about it, and hasn’t done anything to threaten the security of the facility or patients, only to “stretch her legs” or to get something to eat from the cafeteria before she returns to her cell, but the threat remains. 

I promised the girl that I would continue to treat her if she felt the need, and I stand by that, though she has, for now, vanished into the streets of Sentinel City.  I simply must discover a way to counter her ability to escape, and that will require many more trials, as I must delve into her psyche and find what it is that has led to her debilitating need for the feel of latex.  I have no qualms against latex attire in and of itself, of course; it is the main component of the standard uniform in Edgewater after all, but if I can simply give relief to her debilitation upon its removal, then I will have done my job to my satisfaction.  

 

 

LORE24 ENTRY #48 – Supers Month #17 – Adrianna Bayne and Sierra Del Vecchio

 

From the Personal Journal of Jennifer Tempest…

 

It’s true, I do keep Bayne and del Vecchio around partially for my own amusement.  They are certainly qualified as medical doctors, of course, each with their own specialties, otherwise I never would have brought them here.  They spend so much time trying to backstab one another to gain my favor, how could I not be amused by them?  Thus far, neither has shown any particularly strong indications of superpower manifestation, though they have proven ingenious when it comes to scheming within Edgewater.  Even I didn’t think they would be bold enough to have Healslut heal Dollface without telling the girl, though if they thought they would slip that little detail past me and try to develop their own version of the villain’s mind control technology, they were sadly, and sorely, mistaken.  

I can’t be terribly mad, at them, though.  They simply moved my timeline forward somewhat, giving me the opportunity to delve into Dollface’s mind a bit earlier than planned.  But that is for another entry; what a fascinating psyche she has.

Dr. Bayne is the more scientific minded of the pair, having a specialty in virology and infectious diseases, hailing from some little city in the Midwest, named after some rodent or another; I can’t be bothered to remember which state it’s even in.  She has a fascination, bordering on obsession, with weaponized viruses, and some deep-seated fear of a coming zombie apocalypse, though she has yet to let these affect her work.  She has also developed an interest in the new drug sweeping through Sentinel City, Succu-Lust, and has provided a most useful breakdown of its effects and makeup, though her files indicate she may be trying to make her own version of it, for whatever reason.

Dr. del Vecchio has had a much broader range of experience given her time with Doctors Without Borders, hailing from the Boston area, her specialties lie in neurology and hematology.  She, however, retains what I will call a more spiritual nature, still clinging to vestiges of a belief in witchcraft of all things; not the classical kind, rather, the new age kind, though she too has a bit of an obsession,. She is more attached to the possibility of the existence of great cosmic beings that one could potentially worship to gain power.  I haven’t taken to spying on her outside of Edgewater, but I would not be surprised if she still practices certain rituals in her off time.  Perhaps, if she ever shows up again, I should consult with Claire on this to see if there is anything I should be concerned with.

The two work well together, when they’re not bickering, of course, though they do share certain sadistic qualities that make them quite good at performing various treatments and procedures with the patients, even if they may go a bit further than they should in some cases.  Notably their initial time spent with Misha Kyle has led to some sparks between them and her, though they are slowly coming to the realization that Specialist Leopard stands above them in the unofficial hierarchy here.  They seemed to enjoy their time with the mysterious and quite vexing Momo-chan as well; perhaps if that one shows back up here I’ll let them have another round of procedures with her to see if they can provoke a pain response in some other novel way.

The pair are also quite enjoyable when it comes time for punishments, and they have certainly earned more than their fair share of them.  I daresay that so far this year, they have spent close to half of their time in some form of disciplinary action or another, though such things to prove quite motivational to them, at least for a time.  Either way, the two are dedicated to trying to please me and earn my praise, and that’s good enough for now, as long as their antics don’t harm my patients.  Should either of them step out of line in such a way, I will see to it that they regret it.

 

 

 

 

LORE24 ENTRY #47 – Supers Month #16 – Delia Emmerson

 

From the Personal Journal of Jennifer Tempest…

 

Well, after this little present to the family, none of my sisters should complain about me being selfish.  Who am I kidding?  Of course they will, we always do; we succubi are selfish by our very natures, are we not?  Sharing our toys isn’t something we tend to do, but I am not so absorbed by my personal desires that I cannot see when an acquisition would benefit the family more than myself.

Delia Emmerson is quite the catch.  I must admit, I was impressed by the lengths she went through to infiltrate Edgewater during her hunt for information about the fate of Dollface.  Quite impressed, really; she displayed a remarkable amount of initiative and guile for a human, even if she was ultimately unsuccessful in slipping back out.  Not that she had a chance, of course; I was fully aware of her intentions beforehand thanks to the loyal nurse who reported Delia to me, if not the methods she would employ to get inside.  She proved quite adept at assuming the nurse’s identity, and displayed an admirable talent for escape artistry, even managed to slip through some of the facility’s more secure areas confined to a straitjacket.

Star reporter for Channel 9 News, a precious media darling with a record of finding out what was meant to remain hidden, and getting herself into more than a few dangerous situations that she narrowly escaped.  Of course, I could have reported her to the police for trespassing, amongst other charges, but I felt that it was my duty to take her in as a patient and get to the bottom of what drives her to do what she does, without getting the law involved, if for no other reason than an interest in preventing her from further risky behaviors and potential harm that could result.  Sometimes I am simply too kind.

As expected, Miss Emmerson has proven to be quite receptive to the treatment plan I have established for her, not to mention being just as easily influenced by my succubus charms as any normal human.  I could have handled her therapy strictly by my charms alone, really, but the other methods were so much more entertaining.  She’s quite loyal and dedicated to the Tempest family now, whether she realizes it or not thanks to the triggering phrase I’ve installed into her brain.  Given the nature of the work many of my sisters do, having the city’s most influential and famous reporter in our pocket can only be seen as a boon.  Rachel has already enjoyed having some fun with Miss Emmerson, even allowed her to publish something of a story relating to their little playtime, though it read as more of something you’d see in the tabloids than her usual professional level journalism; not all pieces of work can be master level, can they?  After such a successful initiation into the machinations of the Tempests, though, I can only wonder which of my sisters will take up Miss Emmerson’s leash next.  Perhaps Julia (she does enjoy her manipulations of the local politicians, after all), or perhaps Amelia (she does run the most prestigious business in the family, and is never above a good puff piece spouting its virtues).

Amusingly enough, Delia has started keeping records on the Tempest family as well; Bobbi took a look at her personal files and keeps an eye on them for anything too spicy for the public, but so far Ms. Emmerson has only managed the barest of rumors and the official records.  Perhaps in time she’ll manage to discover more, assuming we allow her to do so, that is.  Still, perhaps it would be amusing to lead her along a bit, then pull the rug out from under her in a most humiliating way?  We’ll see.

 

 

 

 

LORE24 ENTRY #46 – Supers Month #15 – Healslut

 

From the Personal Journal of Jennifer Tempest…

 

I may have displayed an uncommon generosity when I gifted Delia Emmerson to the family, but I am doing no such thing with Healslut.  She will remain quite firmly within my grasp, and I didn’t even have to employ my natural charms to do it.  The poor girl simply cannot help herself; she enjoys being a plaything, completely at my mercy, and the mercy of whatever being she serves that has granted her those amazing healing abilities.  I daresay that she is perhaps one of the most precious assets I could have obtained.

Ankara Ausar was a rather unimpressive medical student before she had the bad luck to fall within the sights of Dollface, who abducted her and turned her into one of her dolls for several weeks.  Ausar was freed by the heroine group when they took down Dollface, and, in spite of what was done to her, stabilized the villainess until medical personnel arrived on  scene; there is little doubt that the bullet in Dollface’s head would have killed her had the girl not followed her training.  Upon learning the details of her involvement, I took a personal interest in the girl.  She had missed several weeks of classes and was due to have to repeat the semester or work straight through the summer, but I stepped in and saw to it that she would have the chance to prove herself directly by working a special course within Edgewater.  I did not miss the fact that she was frequently late for classes following her time under Dollface’s control, and seemed to be struggling to keep up with her studies more than usual; not entirely unexpected given the traumatic events she had gone through, though, as I would learn, there was another reason for this behavior.

As I would also discover, Ausar suffers from a chronic condition:  she is prone to bouts of abduction.  She disappeared again before starting at Edgewater, and was gone several more weeks.  She had been inducted into a strange cult with some strict tenets regarding enforced chastity, though she managed to escape thanks to assistance from another who was brought in with her, and her own super powers.  Upon her return, it was not hard to miss that she was still wearing the very devices the cult had forced upon her, and seemed to be enjoying her suffering.  As I would discover during some of the therapy sessions I insisted upon, not only is Ausar rather susceptible to hypnosis, but she is also in fact the heroine known as Solaria. 

Making her initial outings following the capture of Dollface, Solaria proved to be a less-than-capable fighter, frequently bested by the lowest of thugs, and usually found herself restrained in some humiliating fashion; I think that her lack of combat ability is intentional, and a way for her to indulge in her barely concealed kinks.  Initially it also seemed that perhaps she had suffered a mental break, thinking that she had received her powers from a god of light (the virtues of which she preached openly to a loyal following of those she had healed), though following her reveal of her secret identity to me, this entity made itself known.  It does indeed exist, and we have entered into a deal regarding Ausar’s ongoing treatment that is mutually beneficial for both of us, and perhaps Ausar as well.

That established, I must say that I am very pleased with Ausar’s progress.  She is an amusing plaything to say the least, constantly lamenting her chaste state, but likewise reveling in her humiliation and restricted state; quite the lovely bundle of contradiction.  She has been practicing her healing powers and further honing them within Edgewater, proving capable of healing almost any injury and a variety of diseases while here.  With my aid, she has made remarkable progress in her studies, and has advanced to a full-fledged nurse within the special wing, taking on the name of Healslut while on duty, with further restrictions and more humiliating treatment as part of her daily routine; her uniform is without a doubt the most restrictive of any of my nursing staff.

I had been keeping her away from Dollface during the course of her duties; I did not know how Ausar would react to facing her again, even if her former abductor was in a coma.  However, thanks to Doctors Bayne and del Vecchio, Ausar unwittingly healed Dollface on their orders.  Ausar has not yet been made aware of this, and Dollface has subsequently been moved from the ICU and into the high security special ward.  This will need to be addressed eventually, but given the nature of Healslut’s daily duties and treatment, and her continued activities as Solaria, it will be some time before she need be told about such things.

 

 

LORE24 ENTRY #45 – Supers Month #14 – Specialist Leopard

 

From the Personal Journal of Jennifer Tempest…

 

Ah, Specialist Leopard…what a delightful discovery.  I suppose my dear sister Gloria can be useful after all, when she’s not dallying with her boi-toy, anyway.  

Misha Kyle is the very epitome of a workaholic, going far above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to running her personal business, Latex Leopard Limited, perhaps to her own detriment, though myself and Maria are working on tempering this aspect of her nature; early indicators suggest our methods are having the desired effect.  I was certainly skeptical when Gloria suggested I look into her work; what need did I have of a fetishist making latex sex costumes, even if they were more advanced than the average catsuit?  In retrospect, I suppose my initial opinion was hasty and ill-informed; Misha has quickly become perhaps my most valuable team member here at Edgewater.  Without her, we would have only a fraction of the superpower-rated restraint systems we employ here to contain the most dangerous patients, after all.

After her initial demonstration, (what an interesting weekend that was), I immediately proposed a special contract for her, which she rather gratefully accepted.  Misha now works within Edgewater as ‘Specialist Leopard’ (she has no medical training to speak of perhaps aside from basic first aid, so I could not simply elevate her to the medical staff with such a title like I did Healslut, could I?), and she seems to enjoy the moniker, so it shall remain in effect.  If anything, being known as Specialist Leopard within Edgewater’s walls brings out some amusing quirks to Misha’s personality, namely displaying a more snarky attitude compared to her normally polite and professional demeanor.  This tends to come out most often when she sees other staff displaying a lack of respect to others when it is due, or if they are not properly focused on their tasks.  As expected, Doctors Bayne and del Vecchio are the most common recipients of Misha’s snark, given their own personality quirks and the amusing reception they gave Misha during the extended demonstration of her work.

As one of the rare individuals who possesses a resistance to succubus charms, Misha is even more valuable to myself, and the family, in general.  She is able to give her opinion on various matters without our subtle influences affecting her thoughts, and isn’t always trying to fall over herself to please us as most do.  This automatically places her above the rest of the staff, and this distinction has not gone unnoticed, much to Bayne and del Vecchio’s consternation.  Maria has become quite enamored with Misha as well, the pair hitting it off almost immediately during Misha’s first demonstration.  The fact that the pair have a special love of petplay further cemented their bond, and outside of her work here and at 3L, the two spend much of their time together; I do believe Maria is absolutely spoiling Misha when she’s in her pet persona, but as long as it doesn’t affect her work, then so be it.

I must admit that I am consistently impressed with Misha’s remarkable creativity and ability to adapt the designs of her latex clothing and restraints into something innovative and tailored to the needs of individual patients, even those who are not necessarily superpowered.  Though she seems not to be aware of her true nature, she does indeed possess a mystically enhanced creative spark; what was it Claire called her type?  Artificer?  The term seems a bit archaic these days, but there are certainly plenty other examples cropping up across Sentinel City and the world now, the most prominent currently being Mecha Musume.  From my observations, each of these ‘artificers’ possess a unique specialty.  Mecha Musume has her robotics and related technologies for example, and Misha has her latex creations, clothing, restraints, toys, etc.  

Further regarding artificers…though I have only observed Misha personally, I can make some suppositions as to their nature; Claire has been avoiding the family for some time now, so I have been unable to speak with her to confirm any of this, so the follow should be taken with some amount of skepticism.  Misha has demonstrated repeatedly to be able to envision methods of construction that would seem nigh impossible given what was previously established as possible in this world, and can make these new creations, or modify existing ones, in a fraction of the time one would expect.  She took one look at Miasma’s prototype containment suit that was developed in-house, for example, and had the improved version ready in less than a week, complete with the strength-enhancing modifications.  Though the reinforcing frame is of a decidedly technological nature, pure robotics, really, the fact that it was so closely interweaved with the latex creation seems to have brought such a thing into Misha’s wheelhouse.  She has admitted no special training in robotics and advanced technologies, and couldn’t exactly explain how her creation process in this regard worked; in her own words, “it just clicked.”

Within their ‘focus’, their chosen craft, I would surmise that artificers possess superhuman stamina, able to remain focused on the task at hand for extended periods without suffering ill effects of exhaustion, either physical or mental, and are able to work on them much faster than a normal person could (though I am not entirely familiar with the nature of Mecha Musume, Bobbi has clued me into some details as to the advancements of her armor and weaponry over time that would help support this theory; her own advancements should have taken months to develop, if not years, according to him).  As an example regarding Misha, I have specified new designs and modifications to existing systems and she has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to turn in exactly what I requested, overnight in many cases, while managing her company’s normal operations, and seems to suffering none of the ill effects one would expect of being severely overworked.  A normal person simply could not keep up with the stress, but she handles it almost effortlessly.

Even if my suppositions are correct, I feel I must still intervene on Misha’s behalf.  Even if she is possessed of superhuman ability, I would be remiss in my duties as a medical doctor if I permitted her to continue indulging the obsession with her work without proper breaks.  I believe that I will begin making plans for her to have a series of mandatory vacations, perhaps here inside of Edgewater or another location held by my family, for a period that shall not be less than one week at a time, more if I feel she has demonstrated a higher than normal amount of work during the preceding period.  If Maria has anything to say against the idea, then I have absolutely no qualms about having her join Misha in enjoying the same comforts and relaxation; we do have suites for couples, after all, as the recent incident with Nurse Winters and Catherine Ramos demonstrated.  It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve intervened on one another’s romantic affairs, and I am certain it will not be the last.  What are sisters for, after all, if not to keep one another in line?

 

 

 

LORE24 ENTRY #44 – Supers Month #13 – Miasma

 

From the Personal Journal of Jennifer Tempest…

 

Truly a most unique case, Nurse Miasma, perhaps the most drastic physical change in a person I have witnessed to date following the Azure Cherry Blossom Front event that spread ‘superpowers’ to humanity.  Unlike many of my patients, I was actually there to witness her transformation as it occurred, and thankfully managed to save her life by having some early prototypes for superpowered containment online and ready for testing.  At the time of her initial entry into Edgewater, ‘Miasma’ was suffering from a severe case of dissociation, including amnesia, depersonalization, and dissociative identity disorder.  She still does not remember her name, nor am I able to find any clues as to her identity.  As she stated, she was ‘coming apart’, and it wasn’t long before she actually did, her body transforming into a living gas cloud in the middle of one of our sessions when she was at her most manic.  Her ability to keep herself in a cohesive form was severely limited at the time, so we had to contain her within an air-tight isolation cell and devise methods to communicate with her.

Through some rather novel methods, myself and Doctors Bayne and Del Vecchio were able to create an air tight pressure suit that Miasma could manipulate, mostly composed of special latex, that was fitted with a miniature version of the device we had developed for communication.  This allowed her mobility without fear of complete dissipation of her form and consciousness, and seemed to help bolster her sense of self to the point that she rather quickly learned to not only maintain her gaseous form more easily, but learned that she could manipulate her very essence, creating larger gas clouds and changing their makeup to create multiple effects, including emotion manipulation, incapacitation effects, and even physically destructive effects, such as a corrosive acid cloud.

As she progressed mentally, becoming more aware of herself, though still lacking memories of her past, I made the decision to give her purpose within Edgewater.  Nurse Miasma is something of a warden within our special wing, patrolling its halls to keep an eye on the various patients within, while she constantly emits a low-yield incapacitating gas that fills the airtight halls, ensuring that any escapees or other unauthorized persons are quickly captured.  She is even able to affect me and my sisters with her essence, thus the reason all other staff must wear proper gas masks inside the special wing when on duty.  Since Specialist Leopard came aboard with us, she has been able to enhance Miasma’s pressure suit, reinforcing the latex to be much less susceptible to damage while introducing a powered frame within to greatly enhance Miasma’s physical strength and resilience in the event of a superpowered escape attempt.

I will admit, though, that I am somewhat wary of Miasma.  Though we continue our therapy sessions multiple times each week, I keep her under constant surveillance and am on the lookout for any sudden changes in behavior.  Her mental state is becoming harder to keep track of, even for me; I dare say that she is becoming more alien by the day.  I’m not even certain my succubus charms even work on her anymore, though she still remains loyal thus far.  Should she decide to go rogue, however, there are methods in place that should deal with her powers, though I cannot say what effect they may have on her physically or mentally if the more extreme options must be implemented.  

 

 

 

LORE24 ENTRY #43 – Supers Month #12 – Anita Winters

 

From the Personal Journal of Jennifer Tempest…

 

What can I say about Ms. Winters?  She has her uses, certainly, as limited as they are; everyone in a position such as myself has need of dumb muscle from time to time, and she certainly fills this niche.  I suppose I was fortunate enough to ensnare her into Edgewater’s web before she could get herself into real trouble after that floundering career as a MMA fighter.  I would hesitate to call her preferred fighting style a style, however; she could be compared to a rampaging rhino flying headlong at her target, absorbing punishment until she finally connects with a sufficiently strong blow or actually manages to land a submission hold.

For the record, Ms. Winters had been accused of massive steroid abuse following the event which gifted humanity with superpowers, due to the very noticeable increase in her muscle mass, though she insisted, and tests would prove, this was not the case.  Though she would be quite the challenging combatant in the women’s league, after a few bouts against one Catherine Ramos in particular, whose style was A) an actual fighting style, and B) was diametrically opposed to Ms. Winters’ “style” by actually using her brain and agility, Ms. Winters would seek ‘greater challenges’ by fighting in the men’s league.  She would prove herself quite a bit more capable here, quickly rising through the ranks and taking the top spot, even taking on the moniker of ‘Emasculator’ for her deeds.

This of course would lead to her further downfall, primarily because of Ms. Winters’ rather distasteful belief in the modern day, highly toxic version of feminism; the less said about that particular area the better.  Truly the cognitive dissonance on display with the modern world is staggering; were it possible, I would insist upon therapy and treatment for much of the current generation of humanity, but alas, I am but one humble succubus and there are much larger issues I must contend with.  She had her following that praised her, had the glory of defeating male after male in one on one combat, brutally so in many cases, but she still struggled with (and would rarely accept challenges from) female opponents, even her proclaimed nemesis, the aforementioned Ms. Ramos.  A curious trait, one which I certainly did not miss when I researched her following her arrest for assaulting several people, in public, in a fit of rage over a disagreement about the nature of her successes.  Making use of some of my family’s influence, I made certain that she was brought to Edgewater for a mental evaluation, not that it took an especially large push to have this done given her violent outbursts and obvious difficulties interacting with people.

During Ms. Winters’ initial observation period, I learned more of the nature of her powers, which I’m still not entirely sure she recognizes she even has; she is rather dense, to put it simply.  She possesses a most unique ability to actually emasculate men simply by virtue of being engaged in combat with them, physically weakening them in a nigh imperceptible manner over time.  The longer she faces them in combat, the weaker they become, though I have yet to find a single test subject that realized this until it is far too late for it to matter; they may as well have been children against Ms. Winters.  This ability was certainly useful, given the direction I am taking Edgewater, even if a higher ratio of superpowers seem to be possessed by females.  Perhaps it is simply that the men haven’t caught up yet; they are generally slower on the uptake in most matters, after all.

Ms. Winters is currently under my employ as a nurse in the special wing of Edgewater.  She is quite useful in restraining patients, especially the growing number of male patients, in particular the one known as Rampage, and now that I’ve been helping her overcome her less desirable attitudes and delusions, she has become mostly tolerable (though I find that her personal hygiene to still be insufficient; she does tend to work out far too much and either doesn’t realize or doesn’t care that she is not the only person in the vicinity).  She is still a blunt instrument, certainly, but a slightly more elegantly crafted one.  Like any good pet, however, she is capable of learning her place through proper incentives and punishments.  She is also quite useful in testing Specialist Leopard’s newest designs for high-security restraints, and I was personally quite amused by her behavior surrounding the illegal fight that occurred between her and Catherine Ramos in the hospital’s employee gym, as well as the subsequent time the pair spent together inside an isolation cell.  That cooled her fire for a time, though I am certain she’ll require further punishments going forward, and I am only too eager to oblige her.  Her continuing education and development shall be most amusing indeed.

 

 

 

LORE24 ENTRY #42 – Supers Month #11 – The Edgewater Institute

 

From the Personal Journal of Jennifer Tempest…

 

There is nothing quite like being the ruler of one’s own domain, especially when said domain is filled with some many interesting people and deeply amusing playthings.  I do not strictly rule over Edgewater as a matter of my own pleasures, though that is certainly an aspect of it; no it is a labor of love, one for which I am uniquely suited.  Sentinel City has a very dangerous problem after all; all of those unhinged and mentally unwell superpowered individuals roaming around the city unchecked simply cannot be left to their own devices, can they?  There must be some kind of order, some kind of control mechanism in place to keep these types in check.  This city needed a place where those of unsound mind could be treated properly, and that could handle the unique requirements of containing the varied types of powers growing amongst the populace.  And if it must be done, why then should it not be me to oversee it?  Who else if not me?  They say that if you love your work, it’s not really work; for the most part, this has held true for me in this endeavor, though a few particular individuals have certainly tried my patience.

I have brought the Edgewater Institute into a new age these past few months; before the coming of superpowers, it was of course a most prestigious mental health institution, a place where minds could be healed and studied, a respected place.  Now it is so much more.  I have overseen its expansion into something on an entirely new scale, a facility that boasts the most advanced patient, or prisoner, as some are, restraint, containment, and monitoring systems not only in Sentinel City, but the entire country, perhaps the world.  I don’t take sole credit for this feat; how could I when I simply had the vision to dream, and the willpower to see it done?  No, Edgewater is built upon the backs of many, and it is through the many uniquely talented people I have working for me that this place continues to advance and surpass any challenges it has faced, that its patients are treated in the most appropriate manner as their unique situations require.

Are my methods unorthodox?  Well, of course they are, by humanity’s standards, anyway.  Humanity has always required special treatment, and it has yet to evolve beyond certain limitations inherent in their very genetics.  Having once been human myself, I can understand these limitations, and given my greater insights into their very basest of desires, I am certainly qualified to treat their many issues as I have laid out within the operational guidelines of Edgewater.  Like my own succubus nature, humans are sexually charged creatures, and indeed this must be understood.  They are also dangerous, short-sighted, and prone to acting on their baser desires.  Do I have a biased opinion on their nature?  Perhaps; my sisters and I have certainly survived our share of trials, many over the centuries, in fact.  And yet we have survived, even thrived amongst them, blending in and finding our particular niche among them.

This is perhaps why I am uniquely suited to control a facility such as Edgewater.  Though I certainly hold no love for certain groups and individuals, many of them associated with the blindly faithful religious types, I am absolutely dedicated to making certain that those I can are helped to the absolute fullest of my ability.  We share this world with the humans, and my kind are far fewer in number than they.  Though we are certainly more powerful, it is only recently that humanity has begun to receive powers that place them upon the same level, if not surpassing it.  So, its absolutely necessary for the continued stability of society that I do what I do.  As the Tempests have done for centuries, I too shall shape the world around me.  In this new age, I have chosen to do so using the most powerful of tools at my disposal.  In the end, regardless of whatever powers they may possess, I can see to it that whatever inherent mental instabilities they have are treated, by whatever means I deem necessary to obtain the most favorable outcome.  I will see these poor, unfortunate souls properly treated, and if they happen to become more loyal and obedient afterward, then I can hardly call that a negative outcome, can I?  What are humans if not pets and playthings to a Tempest, after all?

Description

Oh baby, now we’re talking super-sexy villains!  Sure, sure, she’s totally got the dark and mysterious thing going on, but DAMN, she’s also rocking that latex like a champ!  Total body coverage (and yeah, she’s got a VERY toned body), skin tight, shiny, black with gray highlights, what more could you ask for?  Well, how about NINE freakin’ tails, gray tips!  And like, they move just like real tails!  Like, wow!  She’s wearing one of those fox masks too, not like the ones Dollface uses, though, this one is more classic Japanese.  But…I guess it’s not Japanese?  Cause she’s like, not from this world, right?  So like, what would you call it?  Well, I’ll just call it SEXY.  She’s even got a utility belt filled with all kinds of tricks!  

Like, I’d love to have more here about her looks, and I could totally just spend a few pages on some kinky fantasies that just went through my head, but I’ll restrain myself for now (see, I totally have self control!  Sometimes!)  For all we know, she’s actually a real kitsune beneath all that rubber!  She didn’t even show us her hair, so like, who knows?  

But, we know she likes to play games, and when she speaks, she’s like, a mimic or something?  She speaks in riddles and rhymes and by like, using like magical audio clips or something.  Like, illusion magic is what it’s classified as too, I guess?  From what everyone’s experienced, she like, never talks in her own voice; it’s always like snippets of speech pulled from the radio or TV and junk.  

But like, what game is she really playing?  She totally released me after GB’s awesome doming of Dollface so I could wreck the system, and like, I’m totally wondering about that.  So like, how many angles is this foxy fox playing?  There’s just so much we don’t know about her, like, total wildcard territory!

 

Known Lairs and Hangouts

Well, dudes, she was living with Dollface a while, but like, no clues where she went when she stepped through that portal.  Black Cat says the magic energies were totally degraded and untraceable by the time she managed to get back to actually try and track it down.  Total bummer, but what can we do?  

Wait for our next chance, duh!  Then jump on it and try not to hump the sexy rubber kitsune!

 

Why She’s Bad news…Maybe?

So like, Kitsune has some serious magical talents according to our arcanely-inclined kitty.  And she can fight too; I thought Pinkie the Knife was pulling off the sick ninja stuff, but sounds like Kitsune has her jutsus up to a whole other level!  Like, anime protagonist kinda stuff!  Or I guess anime villain kinda levels, but you know what I mean, right?  Hot, villainous anime ninjas are like, awesome.  Oh, oh, and she can totally plan like, super far ahead, and come up with sneaky traps, too!  I think we can all totally agree on that!

So, this is what Black Cat told us about her encounter with Kitsune once things had settled down:

“I underestimated Kitsune, and overestimated my own abilities.  Kitsune is a master illusionist, maybe more like a grandmaster; she created an entire mountaintop shrine area for our battlefield atop that roof, had the rooftop laced with magical traps, split herself into nine parts, and had already prepped specialized magic just to deal with me.  She thinks multiple steps ahead; give her time to prep, and she’s beyond dangerous.  The fact that she could maintain such a powerful illusion, track her wards, and split herself nine ways at once is absolutely astounding.  I can count on one hand the number of people I know who could accomplish something like that and have most of my fingers left over.

The trap she triggered that generated this ensorcelled latex is especially troubling.  It’s been almost a month since then in the material world, and even within a special time-dilation chamber that gave me a lot longer, I’ve only just managed to reverse its magic-sealing effects, though I’ve still not managed to remove it from me.  This is some insanely powerful curse magic at work here, and I’m not entirely certain if Kitsune is responsible for it or not; something about it seems different.  The magical signatures were definitely from the same source as Kitsune’s, but were warped.  I won’t get into the specifics, it’d take too long to explain.  I’ll just say that it looks like there’s another powerful being involved here working with Kitsune.  I didn’t have time to analyze her outfit, but I’m wondering if perhaps she’s in a similar situation?  Perhaps, given that she sabotaged Dollface’s plans here to some extent, she’s not working of her own free will?  Just a possibility; I have no proof of that.

And the cuffs and collar she fitted me with?  I can’t remove those either, though with the help of my order, I’ve managed to reverse their effects.  Instead of draining my mana, they are now capable of boosting my spellcasting to some extent.  Handy, yeah, but I’m not entirely fond of them.  Still, I can’t but wonder if perhaps Kitsune thought ahead this far, assumed we would defeat Dollface, and gave these to me knowing that I could eventually reverse their effect for a future advantage?  Mysteries wrapped in enigmas seem to be the order of the day when it comes to Kitsune and whoever she’s working for.”

So there you have it, straight from Black Cat’s lips.  Like, wow, dudes, Kitsune really is something else, isn’t she?  That’s like, totally mind blowing!

 

Known Accomplices

Well, there’s Dollface of course, but at least we know where she is these days.  Other than that, no clues, dudes.  Guess I’ll just like, call it a mysterious otherworldly entity or something.  Wonder if they’re like, into latex and stuff too?

 

Comments

Mecha Musume – In Japanese folklore, the kitsune are known as trickster spirits and shapeshifters, bewitching humans for their own purposes.  However, there are several tales in which the kitsune are loyal friends, perhaps even guardians or lovers, even messengers of the gods.  Regardless of true purpose, the number of tails they possess indicate their power; a nine-tailed kitsune is amongst the oldest and wisest, and by extension, the most crafty and dangerous.  Our Kitsune certainly seems to fit the bill here, does she not?

You seem to be awfully taken with Kitsune, Cyber Seer.  Is that drool I see on your keyboard?

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Like…maybe?  She’s totally hawt though, right?  Course, it might just be my latex fetish coming out.  Like, I can’t get what she dressed Black Cat in out of my head, you know?  Ohhhh, just thinking about it gets me all squirmy!

—-Reply from Mecha Musume:  Calm.  Down.

——Reply from Cyber Seer:  Oh, but I just can’t stop!  Like, those cute paws and the way she was acting!  Like, wowza, totally cute cute cute!!!  Petplay fetish online!  MEOW!

——–Reply from Mecha Musume:  Apologies, everyone.  Unfortunately I cannot moderate comments here, but I am now implementing some offline moderation procedures.  

———-Reply from Cyber Seer:  Moderate me harder, mistress!  Yes, I’m such a bad girl!

————Reply from Mecha Musume:  In all seriousness, I fear we may need much more drastic steps.  If memory serves the villains even commented on your behavior and near-constant state of arousal.  When the bad guys are making such comments, all is not well, Cyber Seer.  Perhaps we should look into meditation?

————–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Like, meditation is totally BORING!  Now, sexy meditation, with ropes or chains or sensory deprivation hoods and all kinds of other hot bondagey stuff?  THAT sounds fun!

—————-Reply from Mecha Musume:  😐

 

Pink Pussy – Don’t underestimate this kitsune chica!  She’s crafty and knows how to slip in pretty much anywhere.  Even when I was under Dollface’s control, I still remember some of the tricks Kitsune showed me for getting inside places.  I don’t trust her one lick!  I don’t care if she’s working for someone else, she helped ruin my reputation, si?  And that’s something I won’t forgive or forget!  I’ll pay her back for all that humiliation she helped dump on me!

Also, Cyber Seer, mi amiga, no offense or anything, but you need help.  You’re hornier than every teenager I’ve ever known!  Hell, you’re hornier than me after a long night of cleaning up the streets!

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Will you help me with that, PP?  I could totally go for a sexy catgirl keeping me in line!

—-Reply from Pink Pussy:  Sure, I’ll help 😉  I’ll start you on the Pink Pussy Power Plan!  Daily workouts, starting off with a five-mile run, strength training, unarmed combat training, the works!  You’ll be too tired to be horny!

——Reply from Cyber Seer:  :O  On second thought, I’m totally booked up…online obligations and all that.

——Reply from Mecha Musume:  Tell me more about this plan, Pussy.  I like where this is going.

——–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Like, no.  Totally not interested.  I’m a nerd, yeah?  Sunlight and physical stuff are like, bad for me and junk.  Dark sex dungeons I can handle, but this just sounds like torture!

———-Reply from Pink Pussy:  My kinda torture!  We’ll have you feeling the burn and building muscle and fighting like me in no time!

————Reply from Mecha Musume:  This is sounding better and better.  We shall have to discuss this in person, Pussy.  

————–Reply from Cyber Seer:  >:(  Not cool dudes!  Not cool at all!

 

Gun Bunny – Kitsune is planning something else, no question about it.  I could buy that she maybe just didn’t like Dollface, except for what she did to help Shadow Lynx when she showed up.  For a minute there, I thought she was going to succeed, until the lights came on, anyway and she was dazzled.  Kitsune was in control of that fight, she had a purpose, and it wasn’t aiding Dollface.

Also, I guess we know what to get Cyber Seer for Christmas…

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Oh, oh, oh, what is it?  Is it latex?  Latex kitty outfit maybe?  😀 😀 😀

—-Reply from Gun Bunny:  A chastity belt.

——Reply from Cyber Seer:  🙁 🙁 🙁  Totally not cool!  Although…huh…maybe the more I think about it that could be kinda hot…

——–Reply from Mecha Musume:  It seems we can agree on this, Gun Bunny!  Perhaps there will be enough material left from my latest upgrades to craft one for her that will not be so easily removed until she has learned some discipline!  

———-Reply from Cyber Seer:  Seriously, babe?  Why you gotta do that to little ol’ me?  That’s like, totally cruel and unusual!

Description

Okay, like, so, I don’t want to turn this into a freaking massive post or anything, so like, I’m mainly focusing on the lieutenants or whatever you want to call them for the gang.  Like, we have over thirty maids on record now, but most of those are just acting as muscle.  It’s the special ones that give me bad vibes, yeah?  

So, Little Suzie…this one totally creeps me out.  Like, seriously, total psycho loli vibes off this one.  So like, she looks like a little girl, all cute with the blond hair, girlish pigtails and sweet mile, right?  But then she flips that psycho switch and starts cussin’ like a sailor with that messed up smile on her face and freaks me out.  She wields SMGs like nobody’s business, and packs enough grenades around to level a city block, and she doesn’t care who she hits with them.  She’s like, in her mid-twenties, but somehow she’s had a total body makeover kinda thing to look like that, and someone buried her records deep.  From what I could find, she’s got training with demolitions and explosives, maybe even former military or special ops judging by how she handles an MP5.  Did I mention this bitch is a nutjob?  Cause she totally is.

Update from Gun Bunny:  Little Suzie is psychotic without a doubt.  Be very careful around her; she’s unpredictable and violent, and doesn’t care who she hurts as long as she’s having a good time.  According to my source in the SCPD, somehow she’s already back out on the street.  There had to be some dirty deals behind the scenes; officially she was released due to being an abused minor.  I think she enjoys toying with people, and she’s certainly sadistic; she’s had multiple instances of taking out people’s knees to make them suffer more while she plays with them.

And as for Pinkie the Knife…I guess the one in the gas mask is the less creepy of the pair?  Maybe?  I mean, I totally get the attraction to gas masks and stuff, I like them myself (don’t get me started on rebreather bags and total rubber encasement…OMG!), and yeah, the pink pigtails are cute and all, but this chick is like, crazy on a totally different level from Little Suzie.  Unlike most of the rest of the gang, she prefers blades (like, who woulda guessed with a name like that, amiright?), and packs around a few dozen of them on her person.  And like, she moves like a ninja, hopping around and climbing walls and dodging like crazy!  And she knows kung-fu, too!  She totally kicked my ass around the jewelry store like nobody’s business!  Total ninja maid here!  I even downloaded some kung-fu-how-to of my own, and she totally adapted super quick!

Update from Gun Bunny:  Pinkie is not crazy on the same level as Suzie, but she’s definitely got issues.  She’s out on bail too, and in the wind.  I’d assume she’s linking back up with the rest of the gang.  We should probably assume they’re going to make plans on breaking their boss out of Edgewater and make plans of our own to counter them.

Update from Pink Pussy:  Eh, I don’t think we have anything to worry about.  Friend of mine has actually been inside Edgewater, saw some of their operation first hand.  There’s more to that place than meets the eye for sure!  

 

Known Lairs and Hangouts

Like, seriously, how have we not tracked this gang down yet?  They have to have a warehouse or something to store all that firepower, right?

Update from Gun Bunny:  My thoughts?  They’re maids; they’re very good at cleaning up evidence.  And they’re very loyal to their boss for whatever reason, and none who are still in custody are talking.

 

Why They’re Bad news 

So like, I’m not sure that these two have superpowers like in the standard definition of the word, but like, I think they might just be super-talented.  They can certainly hide weapons all over them, though, so maybe they do?

Anyway, Little Suzie is a little bundle of psycho-loli energy who loves guns and explosions.  She’s the one who blew the vault at the jewelry store, and probably is the one training up all the other maids on how to use their guns.  She’s unpredictable and can apparently play the sweet and innocent little girl when she needs to, so she’s manipulative as hell.  

Pinkie the Knife likes…well, knives, like lots of them.  And she keeps them sharp, too, like super-sharp.  She seemed pretty confident that she could totally cut through Musume’s armor, and maybe she could?  She didn’t have a chance to find out, thankfully, but like, what if, ya know?  Expect her to always have another knife ready to go, and she totally knows how to fight without them, too.  Like, I’d believe she was totally a ninja for reals.  Without seeing more of what she can do, though, just expect anything!

 

Known (And Unknown!) Accomplices

Clean Sweep, duh.  She’s like, the boss, after all.  And the rest of the gang, too.  Like, I should probably post the list here sooner or later, or something.

The Mysterious Arms Dealer!  Where do they get all those wonderful toys?  Inquiring minds totally want to know!

 

Comments

Mecha Musume – These two proved formidable enough against myself and Cyber Seer on our first outing, so it would certainly be wise not to underestimate them.  My armor was disabled at the time, thanks to Suzie’s handling of that vault door, so perhaps Pinkie could have found a way through with her blades.  Anything is possible in the world now.  Assume nothing until we have proof otherwise, I would say.

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Totally great advice, babe!  

 

Pink Pussy – I’ve tangled with these chicas a few times before, in the early days.  Suzie creeps me out the most, and she’s definitely not afraid to target civilians.  Keep your eyes open when that lunatica is around!  I can deal with Pinkie though; she’s good, but she’s not Pink Pussy good!  

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Mmm, and just how good is Pink Pussy?  I’ve never had it before…oh wait, there I go again, getting all hot and bothered thinking of my favorite sexy kitty.

—-Reply from Pink Pussy:  😀  Maybe we can find some time to talk in private, huh?  Also, just FYI, I know someone who does self-defense training, if you’d want to take a few lessons?  Not saying anything, but just saying, you know, you’ve got this tendency to get a little overwhelmed out there.

——Reply from Cyber Seer:  Is it you?  Would you train me?  I would totally love to learn how to fight with you!  Like, just thinking about getting that close, and rubbing together, and getting all sweaty and pinned into some sexy positions in between your thighs…OMG, I’m getting so hawt right now!

——–Reply from Pink Pussy:  Oh, that’s sweet, CS, but you need to work up to my level 😉  My friend, though, she’s pretty hot in her own right.  You might like her; I’ll send you her info, ‘kay?  Then maybe we can see if you can handle this pussy 😉  <3

———-Reply from Cyber Seer:  Mmmm…handling that pussy…new life goal unlocked!

 

Gun Bunny – I get the impression that Little Suzie is something of a loose cannon.  Many of her fellow maids have admitted to being afraid of her during police interviews, and are willing to do whatever she asks as long as it keeps her attention away from them.  The generally consensus on Pinkie is that she’s good at what she does, but there is some question of her devotion to the cause.  Based on the SCPD’s analysis, it seems like she’s probably bored and looking for thrills.  Maybe there’s something there we could use if the chance presents itself.

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Somehow I’m totally not shocked that even her allies are afraid of Suzie.  Good to know that we might be able to talk some sense into Pinkie, though; that’s something at least!
