OSTFRIESEN CASTLE - SUE'S QUARTERS
----------------------------------------------
Icicle Gleam: ...Oh hi, Princess Sue.
Icicle Gleam shifts awkwardly.
Sue: Hello, Gleam
Icicle Gleam bows courteously to Sue.
Sue: Perhaps you can help me dispel a rumor
Sue: I have heard that my sister has a magical artifact which can assume the form of any pony.
Sue: This seems suspicious
Icicle Gleam tilts his head a bit. "A magical artifact?"
Sue: Yes, it is supposed to resemble some kind of magic wand.
Icicle Gleam hums thoughtfully and taps his chin with a hoof.
Icicle Gleam blinks as he realizes what Sue might be talking about, and his cheeks tinge a very slight red, though he doesn't break his thoughtful pose.
Sue: Does anything come to mind?
Icicle Gleam: Er... well... No, nothing of that sort. Nothing that can imitate any pony.
Icicle Gleam coughs quietly. "Mm... n-not as I understand, anyway..."
Sue tilts her head. "You seem to be hiding something."
Icicle Gleam clears his throat. "Well, seeing as you're her sister... she does have a magical artifact, but... it can't assume the form of just anypony..."
Sue blinks. "Go on..."
Icicle Gleam blushes a bit more. "A-as long as it's just for your own curiosity, Princess... I don't think Mary would appreciate me just blathering to anypony."
Sue chuckles. "I just need to make sure she won't use it against me. Imagine what she could do with such a thing!"
Icicle Gleam nods after a moment. "Alright, then... Well... as I said, she does have a magical artifact similar to what you described, but... it can't take the form of just anypony."
Sue: Does the pony...have to be enchanted first?
Icicle Gleam: Enchanted, Your Highness?
Sue: Perhaps...magically primed by the artifact?
Sue: Maybe using some involved ritual...
Icicle Gleam thinks for a few seconds, then shakes his head. "Not that I'm aware of, no. The artifact itself does require a spell to work properly, but beyond that, I don't think it requires anything else."
Icicle Gleam pauses, then shakes his head. "Oh, wait... if you mean whoever it takes the form of, then yes..."
Sue: So...who CAN it imitate...?
Icicle Gleam 's cheeks flush again. "Er... whoever it's been intimate with, if I recall."
Sue blinks. "Intimate? As in, kissing?"
Sue: Is it some sort of Changeling artifact?
Icicle Gleam hesitates, then shakes his head slightly. "More than kissing, Princess Sue."
Icicle Gleam: As for it being a Changeling artifact... I doubt it. It doesn't look like something made by Changelings, as far as I know...
Icicle Gleam: I'll admit that what I know isn't much, though.
Sue blinks again, then blushes. "Ah...o-oh..."
Sue: That sounds...useful...
Icicle Gleam: It... um...
Icicle Gleam mumbles something and trails off as he looks to the side.
Sue: I guess she could not prank me with it, unless she was very creative...
Sue: Is there a way to tell the copy apart from the original?
Icicle Gleam rubs his neck for a few moments before he replies. "Well... it'll be clearly aroused... And it doesn't speak. It can make sounds, and it can understand spoken words, but it won't say a single word itself..."
Icicle Gleam: And... if it's impersonating a mare, it'll still have a... um...
Sue chuckles. "It is alright, you do not have to finish."
Sue: Heh...perhaps I could use it to play a joke on Mary instead~
Sue gets an uncharacteristically mischievous look in her eyes
Icicle Gleam tilts his head a bit. "Oh?"
Sue pokes Gleam teasingly. "Hmhm, Sister used it on you, didn't she~?"
Icicle Gleam blushes again. "Er... y-yes, she did."
Sue covers her mouth as she smiles. "Oh my~"
Icicle Gleam 's cheeks redden further. "Well... she had the idea when... um..."
Sue giggles. It sounds odd coming from her. "Sounds like you had a fun time."
Icicle Gleam hesitates, then nods a bit, his blush deepening further at him admitting so. "I... um... did, yes." He looks at Sue with a hint of curiosity, "Are you okay, Princess...?"
Sue blushes a bit. "I seem to be getting you quite flustered. I should make it up to you."
Icicle Gleam chuckles quietly in spite of the blush on his face. "Flustered is... one way of saying it, yes..." He manages a small smile, "Embarrassed, more like..."
Sue: Perhaps you would like something to eat?
Sue: Or... a kiss~?
Icicle Gleam blinks in surprise, caught off-guard enough to momentarily forget his embarrassment. "Food or... wait..." He lifts his head up and stares at Sue, "A... a kiss...? Princess Sue, are you sure you're alright...?"
Sue chuckles. "Just a little more teasing."
Icicle Gleam clears his throat quietly. "Well... I'll admit I might have been slightly tempted, but..." He shakes his head and manages a slightly more normal smile, "What sort of food did you have in mind, Princess?"
Sue winks. "Whatever you might crave."
Icicle Gleam: Um... whatever you might recommend, Princess. I love food, and I'm not particularly picky.
Sue: It seems we are at an impasse. Would you settle for a sandwich or a salad?
Icicle Gleam hums thoughtfully, quietly thinking for a few moments. "A sandwich does sound pretty appetizing right about now, actually..."
Sue wanders into the kitchen
Icicle Gleam waits around for the time being, letting his gaze wander about the room as he takes in various bits and pieces of everything scattered about.
Sue returns with a sandwich that is stacked several inches high with a variety of foreign vegetables. "Here you are."
Icicle Gleam blinks and stares at the sandwich. "Wow... that's a large sandwich..." He carefully takes it from Sue and does his best to keep it balanced, "Thank you very much."
Sue: Well, I figure I caused a great deal of embarassment.
Sue: So, here is a large sandwich.
Icicle Gleam chuckles as he examines the sandwich. "The embarrassment is not too hard to deal with, to be honest... It's all in good fun, after all, right?" He opens his mouth and leans towards the sandwich, only to pause and lean back in confusion, "Um..."
Icicle Gleam tries to bite the sandwich from several angles, only to be repeatedly stymied by the sheer size of it.
Sue presses the sandwich down with her magic
Icicle Gleam: Oh, that works... thanks!
Icicle Gleam takes a bite out of the sandwich and chews with a content smile.
Sue chuckles. "It has 6 different types of vegetables and 3 cheeses!"
Icicle Gleam hums and swallows before replying with a grin. "It's delicious! So many flavors to it, and all of them are really tasty."
Sue nods. "Glad you like it."
Icicle Gleam happily takes another bite of the sandwich.
Sue watches Gleam eat.
Icicle Gleam works his way through the sandwich, clearly enjoying every bite. Before long, he's down to the last couple of bites.
Sue 's stomach growls.
Icicle Gleam blinks, then smiles sheepishly. "Um... I should have offered earlier, but... Would you like a bite, Princess Sue?"
Sue: Oh! Um...Yes, thank you...
Sue takes the sandwich and treats herself to a couple bites.
Icicle Gleam chuckles a bit. "I wasn't really thinking, but I should have offered a bite before I started eating. Sorry, Princess."
Icicle Gleam dips his head a bit. "But thank you for the sandwich, regardless."
Sue finishes off the sandwich and hums. "Mm...It is no problem, the sandwich was for you."
Icicle Gleam nods. "And a very tasty sandwich it was."
Sue: Of course, it cannot compare to the order Mary put in to the kitchens on Hearts and Hooves Day.
Sue gives a sly smile.
Icicle Gleam blinks, then blushes as he smiles. "Ahh, heh... I remember that... That was a lot of food..."
Sue: And wine, as well! Quite a treat~!
Icicle Gleam nods a bit, his smile growing warmer as he thinks back. "It was a really nice day..."
Sue smiles. "I am glad you two are doing some things together out of bed, as well. Sister craves that sort of companionship."
Icicle Gleam 's blush slowly fades away as his smile brightens. "I really enjoy that sort of companionship, too. The bedroom stuff is a lot of fun, but just getting to spend time with her doing other things is what I enjoy the most."
Sue nods. "Sister has an interesting personality. I am glad you enjoy her company."
Icicle Gleam chuckles. "She's definitely a lot of fun to be around." He dips his head respectfully, "As are you, Princess Sue. You both have very interesting personalities."
Sue: Oh? You think I am interesting? Many ponies think me boring, I believe.
Icicle Gleam hums a bit. "You may not be as... outgoing as Mary, but when one takes the time to talk with you, it's apparent you can be quite fun to be around as well."
Sue: Ah...thank you, then.
Icicle Gleam smiles warmly. "You're very welcome, Princess Sue. I'm glad to know both you and Mary as well as I do."
Sue chuckles. "I like to think we are more interesting than your princesses."
Icicle Gleam can't help but chuckle quietly. "You and Mary are definitely more approachable, I'll admit..."
Sue chuckles. "I did make you a sandwich."
Icicle Gleam hums and nods. "Indeed, and it was delicious." He smiles a bit, "I think it helps that we don't have several guards and a throne between us whenever we talk."
Sue nods. "We had personal bodyguards once upon a time. Sister tended to sleep with them."
Sue covers her mouth. "Ah, that may have been insensitive..."
Icicle Gleam blinks, then chuckles a bit. "Eheh... I see..."
Sue waves her hoof dismissively. "It was a long time ago. I might have had an eye for one of them as well. Just between us."
Icicle Gleam rubs his neck as he looks off to the side. "Um... right. A long time ago..."
Sue: Are you alright...?
Icicle Gleam smiles, but it seems a bit unnatural this time. "Yeah... yeah, I'm fine, Princess."
Sue tilts her head. "Oh dear, I have flustered you again. Would you like a hug?"
Icicle Gleam shrugs a bit as the smile slides away.
Sue: Hmmm, oh dear...
Icicle Gleam simply keeps his gaze angled away from Sue. His demeanor is a far cry from a few minutes ago.
Sue bites her lip. "S-sorry..."
Icicle Gleam airily waves a hoof. When he speaks, his voice sounds different from before, sounding a bit quieter and devoid of it's usual lilt. "It's alright..."
Sue inches closer to Gleam and gently hugs him. "It seems I am worse at tact than my Sister."
Icicle Gleam doesn't move as he's pulled into the hug, though his shoulders seem to flex slightly in Sue's embrace. "Just a... shortcoming of my own, I suppose..." He sighs quietly, "I just... don't really like hearing that sort of stuff..."
Sue gently rubs Gleam's back. "Sorry...I'm sure your princesses are much better in this aspect."
Icicle Gleam shrugs with some effort. "I wouldn't know. I've never spoken with them at length, nor about something so..."
Sue: Yes, that is true. But they are much more considerate...
Icicle Gleam hums a bit, lowering his head against Sue's shoulder. "Like I said... it's just a shortcoming of mine... Not your fault, Sue..."
Sue frowns, considering her options.
Icicle Gleam chuckles a bit, an unnaturally high sound muffled by Sue's coat. "I mean, you and Mary are both immortal... Surely you both have laid with a lot of ponies before I met Mary."
Sue: I should not speak for my sister, but as for myself, I had one, maybe two...over 1200 years.
Icicle Gleam grinds a hoof into the floor for a few moments. "I'm just a simple pegasus from Equestria. How could I compare to an Ostfriesian, and why would Mary even take notice of me among others, especially when the lowliest Ostfriesian likely can flatten me in a hoof fight in a split second?"
Icicle Gleam: Especially if she's been as... as... as you said a little while ago...?
Sue smiles. "It is because of your heart, Gleam. You care for her much more than any other pony she has known."
Sue: She may not like to show it, but she really treasures you...
Icicle Gleam takes a few moments longer than normal to reply. "I... find that hard to believe, Sue... Out of 1200 years of your lives, nopony has cared for her like I do...?"
Sue: I would say...you are "pretty high up there"
Sue: One thing you must understand, if ponies like us lived with our heads in the past, we would never be able to enjoy the present as we constantly dreaded the future.
Icicle Gleam seems to think for a moment as he rubs the bridge of his snout with a wing tip. "Well... I suppose I know what I should do, then..." He seems to wilt slightly after a few seconds of extra thought, "But yet..."
Sue: Yet...?
Icicle Gleam: You and Mary are both immortal. I'm not. Will I be worth remembering, even after I'm long gone?
Sue nods. "Of course. You are very dear to her, and even to me."
Icicle Gleam blinks up at Sue. "To you, as well...? How so, Sue?"
Sue winks. "You are fun to tease~"
Sue ruffles Gleam's mane
Icicle Gleam chuckles quietly in spite of his rather frayed emotions. "Heh... I guess I am, at that..."
Sue: I feel I still owe you something. Let us take tea.
Icicle Gleam nods a bit and wipes away the bits of moisture around his eyes. "That does sound nice..."
Sue floats a tea set and small table from the kitchen and sets it between them with surprising accuracy all at once.
Sue blows fire onto the kettle to boil the water quickly.
Icicle Gleam blinks and takes a careful step backwards, mostly out of surprise. "Oh, um... Well, that was fast..."
Sue chuckles. "My magical focus is second to none~"
Sue sets a teabag in two of the cups and pours the water. "Here, this should relax you a little."
Sue uncovers a platter, revealing half a dozen small cookies. "And help yourself to these if you like."
Icicle Gleam takes a moment to clear his head a bit more, his eyes watching the tea slowly seep into the water in his cup. "I guess Mary saying you spend a lot of time practicing magic of all sorts is true, then?"
Sue nods as she idly stirs her steeping water. "I do not go out as much, so my free time is spent studying and practicing."
Icicle Gleam hums a bit as he starts to stir his own tea. "There must be a lot of secrets to be had in magical research."
Sue nods as she stirs her tea. "I find it relaxing, unlocking the secrets of the world."
Icicle Gleam chuckles. "I suppose losing yourself in research for a few hours could be relaxing. Something you like to do that distracts you from the stress of your duties, right?"
Sue smirks. "Well, it also helps me surpass my Sister. She keeps up with me somehow, though..."
Icicle Gleam tilts his head. "You and Mary compete in magical research?"
Sue nibbles on a cookie. "We compete in mastered talents and spells."
Icicle Gleam nods and takes a small sip of his tea. His body seems to relax a bit as the flavor of the tea warms him up. "It sounds like you two cover a wide range of magical skills in that competition."
Sue nods. "You could say we are very magical~"
Icicle Gleam smiles a bit. "Magical, charming and enchanting." He pauses for a few seconds, then quietly snickers at his own joke, "Sorry, Princess... I couldn't resist the joke."
Sue chuckles a bit. "Sounds like you are quite a charmer."
Icicle Gleam smiles a bit wider in embarrassment. "Well... I just like to say what I think, most of the time."
Sue smiles. "Sister tends to do that, too."
Icicle Gleam chuckles again. "Maybe that's one reason we can get along so well."
Sue nods and sips her tea.
Icicle Gleam nibbles on a cookie, only to blink as a thought comes to mind. A rather odd thought. "Say, Sue...? I just remembered something. That artifact that Mary has... she mentioned it could change into you."
Sue abruptly spits her tea back into her cup.
Icicle Gleam starts in surprise. "I... I don't know if that's true, though."
Sue 's face turns red as she shakes her head vigorously. "N-no, absolutely not true!"
Icicle Gleam cringes a bit. "I wasn't sure if Mary was joking or not, to be honest..."
Sue stares into her teacup.
Icicle Gleam tilts his head a bit as he notices Sue's red face. "Er... sorry, Princess. I just thought to mention it, since you were asking about the artifact earlier."
Sue bites her lip. "Assuming the artifact could change into me...that just means I have one more thing to get her back for."
Sue 's eyes twinkle dangerously.
Icicle Gleam: So... you're even more determined to prank Mary...?
Sue: You could put it that way, yes.
Icicle Gleam seems to hesitate for a moment. "Um... what might you be planning?"
Sue smirks. "Perhaps you know where Sister keeps this artifact."
Icicle Gleam nods a bit. "Er... yes, I think I do, anyway..."
Sue smiles. "We shall take it."
Icicle Gleam tilts his head again. "...We're just going to take it?"
Sue nods.
Icicle Gleam: What were you going to do with it, then?
Sue: Do you still have that Mary plush I gave you?
Icicle Gleam 's cheeks tinge red a bit. "Er... yes. It's at my house."
Sue rubs her hooves together. "The plush is...linked to Sister. We are going to give her a good time~"
Icicle Gleam slowly starts linking the pieces together in his head, and his cheeks slowly redden as he understands more and more of Sue's plan. "So... you're going to use that plush to... tease Mary with the artifact...?"
Sue chuckles. "When she least expects it~"
Icicle Gleam hums a bit. "Well... That could be fun. Long as she's not tempted to jump the nearest stallion or something like that..."
Sue hums. "I am sure she will not... Probably. Come, let us finish our tea and visit Sister's room."
Icicle Gleam doesn't seem all too reassured, but takes another sip of his tea and pops the other half of his cookie into his mouth.
Sue pours herself another cup of tea. "Sister should be out in the castle around this time of day..."
Icicle Gleam drinks the last of the tea in his cup and pours himself another. "So... you want me to find that artifact, and to retrieve that plush?"
Sue: Hmm...yes...retrieving it would be the safest. It may be...dangerous to activate the artifact in Equestria...
Icicle Gleam nods again. "Where should I take the plush, then?"
Sue: Hmm...We should bring it back to my chambers. I suppose this golem would be most comfortable in a bedroom.
Icicle Gleam thinks a bit. "That's probably true... I've never seen it outside of Mary's bedroom, so I can't really say for certain."
Icicle Gleam idly takes another sip of his tea before speaking again. "So, just to make sure... You want to get the artifact first?"
Sue nods. "I can unlock Sister's door for you."
Icicle Gleam nods in turn. "And after we've gotten the artifact, I'll run home and bring the plush back to your quarters?"
Sue nods. "Though, it may raise some eyebrows if anypony sees you with it."
Icicle Gleam hums thoughtfully. "That's true... Hm..."
Sue: Perhaps I could retrieve it, instead.
Icicle Gleam: That's an idea... The front door of my house is locked, but I have the key with me.
Sue smiles. "Very well. Let us head to Sister's room first."
Icicle Gleam nods and takes one last sip of tea, leaving his cup mostly empty. "Okay, Sue. I'm good to go."
Sue stands up and stretches out her legs a bit, then heads to the door. "It is but a short walk."
Icicle Gleam gives his wings a slight stretch before following after Sue. "Lead on, Princess. I'm right behind you."
Sue turns to the left outside her door and walks a short way, stopping in front of Mary's red door. "Hmmm...good, I do not sense her inside..."
Icicle Gleam looks up and down the hall, checking to see if Mary is anywhere nearby. "I don't see her in the hall, either."
Sue 's horn glows as she point it at the door. "Just one moment..."
Icicle Gleam waits patiently as Sue goes about unlocking the door. He keeps idly looking about the hallway.
Narrator: The door pulses, then opens with a click, releasing the warm fragrances of Mary's room.
Sue: "She will not mind if you rummage around a bit."
Icicle Gleam hesitates on the threshold for a moment, then trots into Mary's room, where he almost immediately beelines for the dresser containing the golem's inert form.
Icicle Gleam rests a hoof on the drawer he believes holds the artifact, then pauses for a moment. He takes a breath, slides the drawer open, and begins to rummage through the contents, trying to avoid digging more than he absolutely needs to.
Narrator: The dresser contains many smoothly-shaped objects that are soft to the touch. This is definitely the right drawer.
Icicle Gleam feels his cheeks warming up as he shifts aside various objects. After a few silent seconds, he perks up as his hoof bumps something solid. "Oh? I think I found it, Sue." He grabs the object and pulls it out of the drawer to get a better look.
Narrator: The crystal rod pulses with a bit of light in response to Gleam's touch.
Sue calls from the door, "Okay, let us be off."
Icicle Gleam hums quietly as he notices the pulse of light. His eyes still on the rod, he slides the drawer shut again, and makes his way back to the door. "Okay, this is definitely the artifact."
Sue blushes a bit as she notices the shape of the artifact. "Ah...I did not expect it to be so...lewd. Perhaps I should have, though."
Icicle Gleam holds it up so Sue can examine it, though he blushes as well. "Well... to quote Mary, the spell apparently requires a 'long, hard catalyst' to work properly..."
Sue: Are the ridges...really necessary?
Icicle Gleam shrugs a bit. "Probably not, to be honest."
Sue clears her throat. "In any case, let us take this back to my room. I will lock the door."
Icicle Gleam hums in agreement as he steps back into the hallway proper. "Then I can give you my house key, so you can retrieve the plush."
Sue closes the door and reforms the enchantment over it. "And then the fun can begin~"
Icicle Gleam chuckles a bit. "Well, I'll head back to your quarters, give you my house key, and wait for you to come back?"
Sue nods. "I will not be long."
Icicle Gleam quickly makes his way back to Sue's quarters to retrieve his key, the crystal rod still glowing slightly in his hoof.
Sue waits just outside her door.
Icicle Gleam steps back out after a few short moments and passes the key to Sue. "Here you go, Princess. My house is near the town's library, and it has a rather large oak tree in the backyard. The plush is in the master bedroom on the second floor."
Sue tilts her head. "An apt place for it, I must admit. I shall return soon."
Sue vanishes in a flash of light."
Icicle Gleam shakes his head a bit to clear his eyes, then turns and heads back into Sue's quarters to wait for her return.
----------------------------------------------
TEN MINUTES LATER
----------------------------------------------
Sue appears in the doorway once more with the Mary plushie riding on her back.
Icicle Gleam waves from the tea table, the plate of cookies now missing a couple extra. "Ah, welcome back, Princess. I take it you didn't have any issues finding my house?"
Sue nods. "Your directions were very good."
Sue walks in and sets the plushie on the bed, with its hind legs dangling off the edge. "Now, how should we do this...?"
Icicle Gleam tilts his head a bit as Sue puts the plushie down. "Um... Mary just puts the crystal down and casts a spell of some sort on it. I'm not sure what kind of spell, though."
Sue closes her eyes and gives the artifact a magical examination. "I believe I can figure it out. There must be a switch of some sort..."
Icicle Gleam sits and watches as Sue begins examining the rod. He chuckles after a moment. "I guess this wouldn't be much different from any other research."
Sue seems lost in her examination. "Hmm...I see...so energy is applied here, and the artifact does the rest...fascinating..."
Icicle Gleam continues to watch Sue with an air of curiosity, magic always having had a bit of an air of mystery to him.
Sue triggers the artifact with her magic, and it begins change form while shrouded in light. "Aha, here we go..."
Icicle Gleam shifts a bit as he watches the golem slowly take shape again.
Sue: Come, Gleam, we should hide.
Icicle Gleam nods and looks around as he stands up. "Alright. Where, exactly?"
Sue looks around the room. "In the closet? Under the bed, perhaps?"
Icicle Gleam glances between the bed and the closet. "The closet might offer a better view of your prank, if you're inclined to watch, Sue."
Sue chuckles. "I will watch for the sake of research."
Sue: I think the golem would fall for the trick for at least a little while.
Icicle Gleam nods and trots towards the closet. "Alright, then." He pauses as he rests his hoof on the closet's door, "Um... Right... I'll let you open the closet, Sue... it's yours, after all."
Sue nods and walks into the spacious closet. "Ah, thank you, Gleam."
Icicle Gleam follows after Sue and slides the door shut behind them, leaving it open just enough to let them both look out. "There we go. Will this suffice?"
Sue: Yes...now we watch.
Icicle Gleam positions himself off to Sue's side and peers through the opening into the room.
The Golem stands as a fully formed copy of Mary, with a hard shaft dangling between its legs.
Sue blushes at the sight.
Icicle Gleam shifts a bit at the sight of the doppelganger, a memory flashing through his mind causing him to blush slightly as well.
Mary's Double looks around and, seeing nopony around, moves to examine the Mary plush on the bed.
Icicle Gleam continues to silently watch the doppelganger, not wanting to ruin Sue's research by making noise.
Narrator: After a bit more examination, the doppelganger shrugs and mounts the plush, carefully inserting its shaft into one of the holes on the rear. Sue makes a small victorious gesture with her hoof.
Icicle Gleam scuffs a hoof against the floor of the closet as he tries to resist letting the view arouse him. He glances at Sue for a moment after seeing her gesture out of the corner of his eye.
Sue is blushing while wearing a dangerous-looking smirk as she watches the doppelganger in action.
Icicle Gleam watches Sue's face for a few seconds before he looks back out into the room. His cheeks continue to redden as he watches the doppelganger working on the plush. He bites his lip a bit as a familiar feeling starts to awaken within him, and he mentally sighs in relief that the closet is dark at the moment.
Mary's Double continues to hump the plush, not seeming to mind that it doesn't react.
Icicle Gleam shifts a bit as his nose picks up a subtle new scent in the closet. The scent, while faint, does nothing to distract him from his budding arousal, and instead seems to make it harder to resist.
Sue subconsciously leans forward slightly as the golem switches to the plush's other hole and continues humping. She squirms a bit, with a damp feeling between her legs.
Icicle Gleam glances up as he feels Sue's chin brushing against his mane. The scent his nose is picking up continues to permeate the closet, making it harder and harder to resist. His legs shift apart a bit to accommodate the slowly growing pressure down below.
Sue leans forward a little more, licking her lips. She really seems to be enjoying the view.
Icicle Gleam shivers a bit as his wings start to slowly unfurl. The blush on his face shows that he's enjoying the view as well. He tries his best to avoid brushing against Sue all the while.
Sue loses her balance and falls forward, tumbling out of the closet and landing in a dazed heap.
Icicle Gleam flails his wings as the closet door pops open. With Sue's weight on his head, he tumbles out after her and lands in a daze, partially draped over her midsection.
Mary's Double notices the two ponies tumbling out of the closet and pauses in its activity. After a moment, it pulls out of the plush and begins to approach them instead.
Icicle Gleam groans quietly as he slowly regains his senses. He pats his head with a hoof as he rolls onto his back and attempts to sit up, oblivious to anything around him at the moment.
Sue tries to scramble to her hooves as the golem approaches, but her senses are dulled by arousal, making her fumble.
Icicle Gleam flops onto his back again as Sue moves out from under him, leaving the signs of his arousal visible to whoever looks at him. He blinks and looks upwards only to spot the golem advancing on him and Sue.
Mary's Double smiles at Gleam, obviously noting his aroused state.
Sue looks between the golem and Gleam, and, in a decisive moment of panic, leaps forward to tackle the golem.
Icicle Gleam quickly rolls onto his hooves as Sue moves. He takes a step forward towards the two. "Wha-- Sue?"
Sue struggles with the golem for a few moments, but eventually ends up on the bottom, pinned to the floor by the golem. "Ack...I do not want to damage Sister's artifact..."
Icicle Gleam moves forward to try and pull the golem off of Sue. "If it's something of Mary's, I'm pretty sure it's really resistant to damage!" He wraps his forelegs around the golem's midsection and pulls, "G-get off of her...!"
Mary's Double stays firmly planted on top of Sue, despite Gleam's efforts.
Sue gasps. "It must have absorbed magic from the doll!"
Icicle Gleam continues trying to pull the doppelganger off of Sue, using more of his body with each pull. "What... what does that mean?"
Sue: It is very strong now! Stop, or it might go for you!
Icicle Gleam hums as the blush on his cheeks deepens, though whether it's from exertion or arousal, it's hard to tell. "W-wouldn't be the... first time, Sue!"
Mary's Double finally decides to continue fooling around. It assumes position above Sue and pushes its shaft between her wet netherlips.
Sue squirms and bites her lip as the doppelganger penetrates her. She doesn't seem to struggle, as she appears to actually enjoy it. "N-nnh~..."
Icicle Gleam lets his grip slacken as the golem pushes into Sue. He cringes at the sound she makes. "O-oh... S-sorry, Sue..."
Sue blushes as the golem starts off at a rather brisk pace. "S-sister...you p-pervert..."
Icicle Gleam is about to let go of the doppelganger when it's rump bumps against him, and his shaft rubs up against the base of it's tail. His whole body goes rigid for a few moments, his wings fanned fully out as he gasps in surprise. "A-aah!"
Mary's Double looks back at Gleam and winks.
Sue holds back a moan as the doppelganger continues to rut her. "Y-you are...nn-not really Sister..."
Icicle Gleam lowers his head onto the back of the doppelganger, and he silently marvels at how warm it's body feels. His eyes flutter shut as he tries to quell his surging arousal, but it doesn't stop him from hearing the golem's and Sue's vocalizations. The constant rocking motion of the golem starts to fill his mind with saucy memories. "Nnh~... Wh-what... what are we going to do, Sue...?"
Sue: Ahh...m-maybe it will stop...if we tire it out...mmh~
Mary's Double does not let up its brisk pace, having already warmed up with the Mary plush.
Icicle Gleam: Th-then... maybe I should get... get Mary? I don't know how much... how much stamina it has~...
Icicle Gleam tries his hardest to ignore the rubbing of the doppelganger's rump against the underside of his stiff shaft.
Sue 's eyes widen. "N-no! Sister must not know of this!"
Icicle Gleam pushes himself up off of the golem for the moment, giving himself a short reprieve from the rubbing down below. His hind legs quiver slightly as he tries to rein in his thoughts. "S-so... we're dealing with it ourselves..."
Sue: I am doing...the best I can...~
Icicle Gleam bites his lip a bit as he considers his options. He looks up at the golem and gives it's flank a couple of gentle, but firm slaps to catch it's attention.
Mary's Double lets out a little sound and stops humping, looking back at Gleam with an eyebrow raised.
Sue takes the opportunity to catch her breath.
Icicle Gleam gestures at the golem's rear and tilts his head, having remembered he can talk to it. "Want me to stick it in~?"
Mary's Double grins and nods eagerly, lifting its rear a little and flagging its tail.
Sue gasps. "A-amazing! It can understand you!"
Icicle Gleam nods a bit and starts shifting himself into position. "L-like I said... it can understand things just fine. It just can't talk." He bumps the tip of his shaft against the golem's pucker.
Sue feels herself get a little more aroused at that revelation. "I...w-wish I had one..."
Mary's Double giggles and nods to give Gleam the go-ahead.
Icicle Gleam bites his lip as he gets a grip on the golem's hips and slowly starts pushing his hips forward. "Nnnh~... Th-the last time Mary used it... s-she made it take my form so I could... double-team her~"
Mary's Double arches its back as Gleam enters, still giving Sue a bit of a break
Sue: S-so it is...versatile as well~...
Icicle Gleam lets out a long sigh as the golem's warmth envelops his shaft. He continues to push forward until his hips bump up against the golem's. "Aaahh~... A-and it feels... real~"
Mary's Double sighs and resumes thrusting, this time a little slower to account for Gleam on the other side.
Sue bites her lip as the golem continues. "Nnh~...I can attest to that~"
Icicle Gleam nestles his face into the join between the golem's wings as he leans against it's back. As it starts moving again, he begins to match it's thrusts.
Sue lets her body relax a bit as nature takes its course. "This...is not so bad, actually...Mmm~"
Icicle Gleam hums in agreement as he settles into a steady rhythm of thrusts that mimic the golem. "It's... pretty gentle, if you ask it to be~"
Mary's Double hums in agreement as it continues with its slow pace.
Sue: I think...it is just excited to be with somepony...mmmh~...somepony new~
Icicle Gleam chuckles breathily. "That might be a possibility~..."
Sue closes her eyes, now focusing on the pleasure filling her body. "I...haah~...I do not mind it, either~"
Icicle Gleam bites his lip as a ripple of pleasure slips down his spine. "It's so... strange, hearing your voice, instead of Mary's~"
Sue moans again, ignoring the oddness of that statement.
Icicle Gleam falls silent as he lets his body move on it's own accord, shifting his focus from moving to enjoying the sensations coursing through him. Every so often, a moan escapes from his lips.
Sue ventures to crack one eye open after a few minutes of enjoying herself. "Think we are...tiring it out yet...?"
Icicle Gleam lets his eyes flutter open as he tries to get a look at the golem's face. "Hm...?"
Mary's Double seems to be panting a bit, but it is otherwise fine.
Icicle Gleam looks down towards Sue and shakes his head a bit. "N-no... It still looks pretty full of energy~..."
Sue: What if...we make it go faster...?
Icicle Gleam: That... haa~... th-that might work~...
Icicle Gleam looks at the golem with a rather mischievous twinkle in his eyes. "What do you think~?"
Mary's Double grins and increases its pace with a grunt.
Sue squirms with pleasure as the golem pushes deeper. "A-aah~~"
Icicle Gleam shifts his hind legs a bit more forward as the golem pushes deeper into Sue. He starts to pick up the pace as well, keeping his thrusts fairly well-matched with the golem's. "E-excellent idea, Sue~"
Sue: Nnh~...but I am getting the full brunt of it...
Icicle Gleam tightens his grip around the doppelganger's hips as he starts to make each thrust a bit rougher. "I-it might have been better, had I pulled it off of you before now~..."
Sue: A-and then? Let it...nnnh~...let it take you instead?
Icicle Gleam: L-like I said... it w-wouldn't have been the... a-aah~... f-first time~
Sue: Already...running out of steam?
Icicle Gleam chuckles. "You mean m-me~?"
Sue squirms and moans. "Y-you know...mares can go for hours..."
Icicle Gleam hums warmly. "I... I know that quite well~" He can't help but smirk a bit, "M-Mary has a... nnh~... a rejuvenation spell that lets us keep going~~"
Icicle Gleam: And that, plus the stamina I have as a pegasus~...
Sue: Ahh~...g-genius~...
Icicle Gleam tenses his muscles a bit as another shock of pleasure zips down his spine. His hips begin to slap audibly against the golem's rear with each thrust. "A-aah~... Genius, indeed~..."
Mary's Double 's mouth hangs open as it moans lustily over Sue.
Sue rests her forehooves on the golem's hips next to Gleam's. "I think...w-we're getting through~"
Icicle Gleam nibbles the back of the doppelganger's neck to muffle a moan. Nnnh~... I... I think we are~" He starts to pant a little, his body abuzz with pleasure, "Little... b-by little~"
Mary's Double takes hold of Sue's rear legs and lifts them up, changing its thrusting angle entirely.
Sue gasps as the change in sensations sends a wave of pleasure through her body. "A-aahn~! I-it is bold!"
Icicle Gleam blushes even further when he sees Sue's legs rise up on either side. "I-it can be rather insistent sometimes~!" He tries to look over the side of the golem's body, "Are you... are you alright down there, Sue~?"
Sue moans in response. She is fine.
Icicle Gleam flicks his ears at the moan and continues to hold his pace as steady as he can. He resists the steadily rising pressure of lust building inside, despite the flare on the tip of his shaft slowly expanding within the golem. He shifts his hooves down until they're touching Sue's.
Sue 's ears twitch at the damp slapping and moaning sounds filling her room, and she starts to blush a bit.
Icicle Gleam gets a bit of a sly idea, brought into being by the heady scent of sex in the air of Sue's quarters. With a small flick of his hips, he curls his tail under and starts to tease the golem's sack.
Mary's Double shivers and moans in reaction to the teasing, and begins to thrust a bit harder in turn.
Sue gasps as the golem thrusts mercilessly. "Haah~! Th-that is not helping!"
Icicle Gleam blinks and sheepishly removes his tail from between the golem's legs. "S-sorry, Sue~... Got a little carried away for a moment~..."
Mary's Double continues its onslaught on Sue's nethers, undeterred.
Icicle Gleam unconsciously speeds up his own thrusts to match the golem's. The increase in speed floods his body with renewed pleasure, and he lets out a heated moan of desire. "Aahh... hhhaaa~!"
Sue lets out a moan to match Gleam's as the doppelganger's shaft begins to rub against her most sensitive areas.
Icicle Gleam slips his hooves further down in an effort to get a better grip on the golem, and instead grasps Sue's hooves. He doesn't seem to notice, however, as he continues his relentless pounding of Doppel-Mary's rear.
Narrator: The top of the golem's shaft begins to flare out inside Sue. It seems it is close to a climax.
Sue tries to relay this to Gleam, even as her own pleasure plateaus. "A-almost...hhnn~...f-finish it~..."
Icicle Gleam 's hooves grasp Sue's tighter as he starts to hit his limit. At her request, he takes a moment to readjusts his stance, widening his hind legs a bit before he starts to make his thrusts even more forceful, pushing his cock deeper into the golem in an effort to bring all of them to a simultaneous finish.
Mary's Double moans as it is pushed over the edge by Gleam's efforts. It pushes its pulsing cock deep inside Sue, but nothing more.
Sue lets out a long moan as she lets her pleasure spill over, the image of her sister fading to white as she is overcome with bliss.
Icicle Gleam presses his hips flush against the golem's rear as he lets his body be swept up in a tidal wave of pleasure. He moans alongside the golem and Sue as his cock pulses and starts to fill the golem up with his sticky seed.
Sue pants for breath as her orgasm draws on. "A...a triple...? Such skill~..."
Icicle Gleam chuckles in between heavy pants, his hips still pushing against the golem with each spurt of cum. "H-hahaa~... Th-thank you, Sue~..."
Sue sighs and smiles as her nerves settle down and her muscles stop twitching. "Mmm~..."
Mary's Double smiles down at Sue, gently pulling out, lowering slightly, and pushing forward under Sue's tail. It gains entry without much trouble, slick from Sue's lubrication.
Icicle Gleam nestles his snout into Doppel-Mary's coat again as he lets out a long, low sigh as his body comes down from his climax. His grip on Sue's hooves goes a bit slack, but he doesn't completely let go. "Aahh~..."
Sue gasps as the golem penetrates her again. "Aaah! H-how do I stop it?!"
Icicle Gleam hastily tightens his grip again as the golem pushes into Sue once more. "W-woah! I... I-I don't know! Mary and I just keep going until it stops on it's own!"
Sue: G-get back, I will try something!
Icicle Gleam bites his lip and slowly steps back, pulling his still-rigid shaft out of the golem. He steps off to the side and nods. "Okay, I'm off, Sue!"
Sue 's horn glows, sending a wave of magic at the golem. "D-dispel!"
Icicle Gleam shields his face from the wave of magic out of reflex.
Mary's Double yelps as its form scrambles into the air, before being reverted back to the crystal rod in a flash of light. Afterwards, all that remains is the rod...in Sue's ass.
Icicle Gleam blinks away the flecks of darkness in his eyes caused by the flash of light, then takes a couple of steps towards Sue and offers her a hoof. "Um... Are... are you okay, Sue?"
Sue breathes a sigh of relief. "Phew...just a bit winded..."
Sue looks down at the rod in her butt. "I dare not touch it with magic...a little help?"
Icicle Gleam nods and looks down towards Sue's butt, only to end up blushing a bit as he moves to help her. "Um... s-sure."
Icicle Gleam bends down and tries to remove the rod from Sue's butt as gently as he can. He tries to keep his gaze averted from her nether bits all the while.
Sue moans softly as the rod slide out. "Nnh...aah, thank you."
Icicle Gleam hums a bit as he stands back up, the rod resting on his hoof. "No trouble at all, Sue."
Icicle Gleam shuffles his hooves a bit as he tries to hide his stiff length from sight.
Sue casually averts her eyes from Gleam's privates and clears her throat. "W-well. That was...interesting..."
Icicle Gleam nods as he moves to set the rod on a nearby table. His face remains rather red. "Yeah, that was... certainly something..."
Icicle Gleam trots back to Sue and offers her a hoof up again. "Do you think you're able to stand up?"
Sue rolls onto her hooves and shakily stands. "N-no problem. Thank you for your...help."
Icicle Gleam takes a step back to give Sue some space. "If... if you need my help again, just let me know. I'll... um... try my best."
Sue glances at the small puddle of fluids left on the floor. "Y-yes, very well..."
Icicle Gleam follows Sue's glance and blushes a bit more. "Um... I could clean that mess up, if you'd like..."
Sue shakes her head. "N-no, I shall handle it."
Icicle Gleam nods and shuffles back over to the table, where he absentmindedly pours another (cold) cup of tea for himself. He lowers his wings a bit as he continues trying to conceal his stallionhood.
Sue brings out a mop from a nearby closet to clean up the mess. "Ah...we should also wash that before we put it back."
Icicle Gleam looks at the rod for a second, then nods and picks it up again. "Oh, um... right. Good idea."
Sue points Gleam toward the restroom. "Use the sink in there."
Icicle Gleam nods and makes his way towards the restroom. With a flick of his hoof, he turns the faucet on and starts to wash the rod off.
Sue finishes cleaning up and sits at the tea table silently.
Icicle Gleam rejoins Sue at the table a little while later, his wings still trying to shield his stallion bits from Sue's gaze with some success. He climbs back into the seat he occupied before and sets the newly-cleaned rod onto the table. "There we go... Nice and clean again."
Sue hums. "Very good. And you do not have to hide anything. I have already seen it."
Icicle Gleam blushes a bit and rustles his wings, making a job of folding them up before he finally stops fidgeting. He still appears rather stiff down below. "I, um... J-just an unconscious reaction, I guess..."
Sue lifts the tea kettle and begins to boil the water once more with her fire breath.
Icicle Gleam spends a few seconds just looking around the room with an air of idle interest. Mostly, he's just trying to avoid looking at Sue out of embarrassment. His face remains slightly flushed.
Sue finishes boiling the water and clears her throat. "So. Did you have fun?"
Icicle Gleam nods after a moment, his face reddening a bit in response. "Erm... Y-yes... I did." He chances a look at Sue again, "Did... did you?"
Sue nods after a moment of hesitation. "Y-yes. Strange as it was, the golem is still but a toy for pleasure."
Icicle Gleam manages to chuckle quietly as he carefully pours himself a cup of hot tea. "I-indeed... And we, um... definitely had a lot of that."
Sue smiles as she blushes a bit. "Heh. I wonder if Sister had a good time, as well."
Icicle Gleam shakes his head a bit, though he can't conceal a small smirk. "She probably has no idea what caused it."
Sue dips a teabag into the kettle. "Ah, I wish I could have seen it."
Icicle Gleam chuckles quietly. "Well... if it's any consolation, you got to see this side of it..." He coughs and lowers his voice a bit, "...And we both wound up... accidentally involved in it..."
Sue: I wonder if Sister has any other...interesting magical toys...
Icicle Gleam: "If she does... she has not used them on me." He shifts awkwardly as a stray thought wanders through his head, "...Yet."
Sue hums. "I have a feeling you will find out soon enough."
Icicle Gleam blushes again as he starts to stir his tea. "Probably... especially given the... rather big issue I have." He casts a short glance down between his legs to get the point across.
Sue chuckles. "Stallion problems. Would you like a cloak to wear?"
Icicle Gleam nods a bit. "M-might be nice, if it can cover me up well enough."
Sue levitates a green bundle from the closet they were just in and sets it in front of Gleam. "Here. You may be more comfortable in this."
Icicle Gleam tilts his head at the bundle, then stands up and starts to unfold it. His stallion bits dangle in clear view as his embarrassment momentarily gives way to his curiosity.
Narrator: The bundle unravels into a simple cloak made of soft fabric. It drapes down to Gleam's fetlocks.
Icicle Gleam hums thoughtfully as he examines the cloak. After a few moments, he wiggles his way into it before smiling at Sue. "This is really nice. Thank you, Princess!"
Icicle Gleam nods. "I'll be sure to return it as soon as I'm able."
Sue nods. "Feel free to wear it for a while.
Sue: I am almost certain that one is not enchanted.
Icicle Gleam tilts his head a bit, more curious than anything else. "Enchanted? How so?"
Sue: Ostfriesen clothes may be enchanted with various effects to benefit the wearer. Equestrians do not do this?
Icicle Gleam shakes his head a bit. "No. We usually reserve full-body clothing for special events. More often than not, we just wear an article or two, like my goggles, or a hat, for example."
Sue: Hmm...that seems useless...
Sue: Why not enchantments to enhance your mane, or your sight, or your pain tolerance?
Icicle Gleam: Well... there are ponies that do enchantments of the sort, but... the materials they usually require can be hard to find.
Sue: Hmm...interesting...
Icicle Gleam climbs back into his seat now that he has the cloak sitting properly. He seems far more calm now that he's covered up. "I suppose it might be because a lot of ponies in Equestria don't encounter any sort of... big dangers."
Sue nods. "That could be one reason."
Icicle Gleam smirks a bit and chuckles. "It probably also doesn't help that a lot of Equestrians are nowhere near as powerful as a typical Ostfriesian."
Sue pours herself some tea, deciding it has steeped enough. "You are powerful in a different way."
Sue smirks. "After all, did you not just help a princess exorcise a powerful demon?"
Icicle Gleam tries to hide an embarrassed blush behind a hoof, but fails as a chuckle escapes from him. "That's true... We did do something of the sort..."
Sue: Yes, something like that~
Icicle Gleam 's voice grows a bit more confident. "Well... in that case, Princess Sue, if you should happen to have any other... powerful demons that need exorcising, I'd like to offer my services to you."
Sue smiles. "Keeping my demon of a sister in check is quite enough, thank you."
Icicle Gleam dips his head. "If you're certain, Princess. I'll leave it as a standing offer." He smiles warmly as he sits up straight again, "But I'm more than happy to continue keeping Mary in check."
Sue chuckles. "You are doing Ostfriesen a great service, Icicle Gleam."
Icicle Gleam chuckles quietly as he takes a sip of his tea. He continues to smile warmly as he sets his cup down. "I may be an Equestrian, but I'll gladly sacrifice myself to keep Mary in check for as long as I can."
Sue relaxes a bit more as she sips her tea, the events of the past hour slipping away.
Icicle Gleam feels his embarrassment slowly ebb away as he continues to sip his tea, and he continues to relax. The cloak conceals his body from view, giving no more indication as to his condition.
