LUHNES, TEMEK, AND RY'TALLA...
In the lower decks of the syndicate, three Orion lowlifes toil their youth away with the hollow promise of prosperity. Although deceived by this pipe dream, the trio have a way of making the best of the worst (an easy feat considering the off-the-books nonprofit they run...) on their journey to shallow graves. Capitalism kills, but leave it to an Orion to cheat death.

Mixed feelings on retconning the retcon of the retcon of the Orions. The implication that "Orion slave girls" were never a real thing and just a show that they put on for outsiders is a much better way to fix it than the "Oh, they just like being enslaved" vibe that Enterprise had. But it still feels really hollow to take a fucked up aspect of your story and its history and handwave it away with "they were actually #girlbosses all along."
Especially when your #girlbosses are effectively drugging people into submission into something that at least one guy explicitly said he would not be participating in when his head is cleared. That's some Founders-Jem'Hadar shit that still makes Orion society really fucked up. The fact that the victims are men doesn't change that

In the Peaceful Timeline, I can't help but think about how Optimus killed the crap out of those Eldians that tried to wage another war. Because it's bad enough that they hurt people from the village he lives near, and as angry as he was, he still wouldn't go on a killing spree until given a reason.
I theorize that after dragging that one Eldian to their hideout, he tries to talk them out of their plans. From peace talk to negotiation to warnings to full blown threatens, Optimus would try to use his words first.
But the Eldians are being stubborn, so it's time to kick it up a notch. He might have to start torturing some of them to get the message through that their actions have consequences. He'd make sure of it. Or maybe reveal that, yup, he's the metal being that ended the Eldian reign in the first place. Whatcha gonna do bout it? Fuck around and find out!
There's no way having an angry metal giant looming over you won't make you second guess your life choices. But someone, maybe more than one person, did fuck around. And I bet it had to do with Ymir. Maybe they said something about hunting her down or killing her for the betrayal or using her for their plans, but Optimus snaps and just steps on them or something.
Either way, it wouldn't be easy to make Optimus break his vow. At least, that's my theory on how it happened.
Previous Episode of the Peaceful Timeline
No...No for Optimus in this situation, mercy was out the window.
TW Rape. TW Discussion of Rape. TW Death. TW Violence. Like this is pretty fucking heavy. You are more than welcome to avoid this one.
For those who might have just stumbled upon this post and need a little bit of context, this is the Peaceful Timeline where Optimus gets dropped off during Ymir's time instead of the main AOT timeline. Two years after Maria is born, remnants of the Eldian Empire are trying to rebuild their might, they attack the village that Optimus, Ymir, and Megatron are residing nearby (they live up in the mountains) and Optimus absolutely loses his shit. For more context: Here it is
Now Optimus in the Peaceful Timeline, is not the pristine, regal, picture perfect being we see him as majority of the time. He's a mix of Orion Pax and Feral Orion at this point, with maybe a hint of Prime for social interaction sake with the village. He doesn't know why Primus sent him to this world, but he knows that his duty is to Ymir, this girl with immeasurable power. And he has grown to love and care for her as if she was his own.
And he had sacrificed so much for her to make sure that she's alright and happy. He's had to figure out what foods were safe for her to eat. He had to protect her while they were sleeping in caves. He had to find a place for her to call home after he found out that she was pregnant. He had to care for a human for seven months before Megatron even showed up. And even when Megatron did show up, it was tense because of history.
And Optimus is the one that had to undo her conditioning. He has to tell her that she's not a slave. That he wasn't going to hurt her. That he was going to protect her. It took a while for Ymir to even look him in the eye when they first started living together. He had to show her what real love and compassion looked like. Not what the King did.
And what the King did...oh god that was already a tough conversation in it of itself. When Optimus learned that Ymir was raped by the King and was told that it was some form of reward, it infuriated him. But Ymir needed someone to turn to and rely on. So he had to shove down his feelings. Six months into her pregnancy, Ymir has to bring up the King because she still believes that he loved her. He was the one who accepted her. Who gave her a new name.
Now Optimus and Ymir don't fight very often, but when they do, it's a major blow-up. Optimus explains to her that what the King did was not love. It was cruelty. It was hate. He never loved her at all. He burned her home to the ground. He took her tongue. He tried to kill her! And only saw value in her when she got power! He only saw her as property! Ymir is continuing to deny it. It's not true. It's not true! He welcomed her when no one else did! When everyone else looked at her in fear for this demon inside of her, he didn't! If he didn't love her, then everything she did, everything that she was told, would've been a lie! That she was never loved at all! And that all that existed in this world was cruelty. And Optimus asks her the important, damning question in all of this:
"Did you want to interface with him?" Optimus demanded.
Ymir froze at that question, her hand clutching the notebook, crinkling the pages in her hand.
"Ymir, did you want to have sex with him?" Optimus clarified.
Ymir felt her hands and lips tremble. She...she was told it was a reward. She was told it was for all of her hard work. But...she was so afraid, and she knew that if she talked back she'd be severely punished. She knew. She's been beaten, and whipped, and lost her eye. She had seen other slave women like her get violated by other men and punished for denying them that pleasure. She remembered how terrified she was when she was taken to that bed!
Optimus saw tears streaming down Ymir's face as she held the notebook tighter. "You did not. You did not want to be with him. You did not want to interface with him. But he did not give you a choice in that matter. You could not even voice your concerns to him, and even if you were able to he would have said no because he only saw you as property. If he loved you, he would have cared about your well-being and choice on the matter. But he did not. He never did. Ymir..."
Optimus hated what was about to come out of his mouth next, but it needed to be said. "He raped you. And he...never loved you at all."
Ymir knew, deep down, that this was the truth, but it didn't hurt any less. Because if he didn't love her, then it just confirmed her greatest fear: that she was never loved at all. That she was nothing. And that everything she did...was for nothing. She killed, maimed, destroyed for nothing, and all she can do is scream in despair. She really was a monster.
And Ymir shuts down for a few weeks and is just in a state of depression. She's eating the bare minimum and refusing to communicate with Optimus. She just...wants to disappear. Even so, Optimus doesn't leave her side unless he has to. He feels horrible for that conversation, but he knew that it was a necessity. Ymir finally asks Optimus why he's choosing to stay. She's a monster. A demon. A pathetic and worthless girl who was only seen for her power. She killed people who were slaves like her. She killed innocent people. Why would he remain by her side? And Optimus tells her that he's supposed to be dead. His body was supposed to be destroyed and his soul was supposed to be reborn. But he was sent here by a higher power. He was sent here to meet her, and to free her from her pain and suffering, because at the end of the day, she was a victim of war, suffering, and violence. And she was never granted the proper safety and love that she deserved.
Optimus placed a hand on her cheek. "You did not deserve any of what you've gone through. And I am still here by your side because I heard your soul cry out to me, and I wanted nothing more than to save you. I love you as if you were my own child, and no matter how many years have passed or lifetimes I lead, I will always protect you. I am glad that a higher power brought me to you. I will always love you, and I will protect you in both life and death. You have my word."
And his words reignite her will to live, because there was someone in this world who loved her as she was, and someone in this world who needed her just to exist. That was it. She hugs him close, tears in her eyes, and she speak to him.
"Thank...you...Optimus,"
And Optimus starts to cry, because it's the first time she's actually spoken his name.
So fast forward when Maria is two and the village is attacked. Optimus is the one disarming while Megatron is the one killing. Optimus wants to show mercy, but Megatron wasn't leaving room for argument at the moment. Megatron had the last soldier, and Optimus was almost ready to tell Megatron to spare him, but he opened his mouth:
"Killing me will do nothing," the soldier spit out, "Our spirit remains strong, and the Eldian Empire will rise again!"
Optimus heard nothing but ringing in his audio receptor. He felt his spark race; he felt his anger rise. His energon was boiling. He remembered Ymir's conditioning and what he had to undo. Her fear. Her despair. That conversation! Her tears! Her depression! A kind-hearted girl's suffering was caused was because of them!
And he just snapped.
Megatron tilted his head in confusion. Eldian Empire? He heard that name before. Where did he hear it? And before he could react, he heard Optimus scream in fury before tackling the soldier to the ground. The Prime pinned him by the neck and began choking him out. Megatron watched in shock at the sight of the rage in Optimus' eyes as he grit his teeth. He could've sworn he heard Optimus growling as the soldier struggled to breathe.
"What are you talking about?! What Eldian Empire?!" Optimus screamed at him.
The villagers watched as the soldier tried to pry Optimus' off of him, but it was no use. His grip was stone. Tears came out of the soldier's eyes and they looked ready to bulge out of his head.
"What are you doing?! Stop him!" the herbalist yelled at Megatron. She paused; however, when Megatron merely spared a glance at her, and the old woman could see the fear and warning in his eyes.
"Answer me or I will snap your neck right now!" Optimus roared.
"E-east!" the soldier forced out. "East! M-mercy!"
Optimus slammed him into the ground before grabbing him by his fur coat. "You will take me to the rest of them, and maybe I will let you live. If you do not, I will do unspeakable things to you that you will pray to whatever god you worship that I had just killed you sooner."
"O-okay," the soldier stuttered as he trembled. Optimus then dragged him by his coat along the ground, grabbing a sword in the process and dragging him out of the village. Megatron snapped out of his shock and followed the Prime.
"Prime-!"
"Do not follow me," Optimus warned ominously.
Megatron recognized that look and immediately backed away as Optimus dragged his hostage along the ground. The soldier tried to beg Megatron for his life, but Optimus quickly glared at him, and that quickly got him to shut up. Some of the villagers even tried to go after Optimus, but Megatron quickly blocked the path.
"But-!"
"No," Megatron warned, and they could all see the terror in Megatron's eyes as Optimus walked into the forest, his alt mode sneaking around the village.
And Optimus walks for miles, demanding the soldier to provide guidance whenever he can. He force feeds him the bare minimum and knocks him out cold whenever he needs to deactivate the holoform. In the back of his mind, he's still holding on to the morality of not killing any humans. He gets to the Eldian campsite about for days later in the night time. He demands his hostage to tell them if this is all that remains, and the hostage tearfully relents. He just wants his suffering to be over.
Optimus hides in the shadows and listens in to what they were saying, talking about recapturing the glory days of the Eldian Empire, how King Fritz was a great leader. And Optimus just wanted to scream his head off. And then...they start talking about Ymir. They called her a slave, a monster, a demon, a whore. They started talking about ways to control if they were going to find her. They started talking about how they were going to defile her.
(And you know that scene in Logan where X-23 comes out of the abandoned building Charles and Logan have been hiding in before throwing the head of the fucker that tried to cuff her to the enemy? Well that's exactly what happened here.)
The Eldian Empire hears the hostage scream and Optimus appears and throw the head, causing everyone to immediately grab their weapons. They see how furious Optimus looks and don't know what to say. Optimus gives them one chance: end this farce. Stop this attempt at making the Eldian Empire rise again. And the soldiers...starting laughing. They think it's a joke. One approaches to just kill him, but Optimus breaks his vow. He snaps his neck in an instant before the rest can process what the hell happened. Once they realize what did happen, Optimus chucked the sword and it stabbed another one in the chest. They charge at him and Optimus starts to kill them in a blind rage. However, due to the 100 to 1 ratio, Optimus does end up slipping up and gets stabbed in the chest with a sword. The Eldians think they've won, but they grow terrified as Optimus' holoform begins to glitch out. And Optimus speaks in a distorted voice.
"Those who are willing to take away the freedom of others, should be prepared to lose theirs."
Optimus deactivates the holoform, shows them all his bipedal mode, and some of them recognize him as the titan who destroyed the Eldian Empire, and they are all screaming in terror as Optimus pulls out his blaster and fires. When Optimus snaps out of his rage, he's sees the burning cinder of what remained of the Eldian Empire that tried to grow again. And he feels nothing but shame.
Optimus ends up trudging back to the mountains in bipedal mode, trapped in his own thoughts and letting instincts guide him. And when he gets back, and feels Megatron place a servo on his shoulder, and sees his face full of concern...By the Allspark he was actually happy to see him. And he just collapses in his arms.
"I broke my vow." Optimus clung to his former foe, "I broke my vow. I didn't mean to. But I killed them all. I was so angry. What did I do?"
Megatron grabbed Optimus' face with his claws and forced him to look him in the optic. "You did what you had to do."
"I killed humans. I made a vow to protect them and I-!"
"Those humans tried to kill and capture everyone in that village," Megatron cut him off, "They had already taken the lives of so many people already. You did what you had to do to protect them. To protect Ymir. If you didn't, they would've burned that village to the ground, and Ymir would have been taken away from you again. She would have been a slave again. You kept her freedom intact. You kept your promise to her."
Optimus looked away in uncertainty. He...he still...Optimus heard the door open, and saw Ymir running out the house, looking both relieved and worried. Tears formed in her eyes as she ran up to him, and all of Optimus' worries faded away in that moment. He offered his servo to her and picked her up. He cradled her close to his face, and Ymir did her best to give him a hug with his battle mask on.
"You're alright," Optimus swore to her, "You are safe. Like I promised you."
It still bothers Optimus greatly that he went to such a dark place to protect Ymir and the village. And he's refused to talk about what happened. Ymir doesn't know. The village doesn't know. Megatron has an idea, but he's afraid of where that imagination is taking him. Whenever Optimus is sad, Ymir takes the time to comfort him. She'll hug him or wrap a blanket around him, or just enjoy his quiet company. She hopes that it's enough, and it is. At one point through all of this, Optimus is resting the holoform head in her lap while Megatron is keeping Maria occupied. She sees a peaceful expression on his face, and he whispers a quiet thank you to her.
And it makes Ymir happy that she was able to do something for her protector. She was able to provide something so simple for someone she loved, and for someone who loved her in return.
(I will never, ever, shut up about the Peaceful Timeline. I love writing so much about it. BTW AOP Chapter will drop on July 1st before I fly out to Texas.)

A Whovian Watches Star Trek for the First Time: Part 091 - Sirens from Orion
Star Trek: Enterprise - Season 4 Episode 17 - Bound
Tumblr media
So, Enterprise is seeking a planet to establish a human Star Base on, and apparently we've found a perfect one. Supposedly there's dragons there, but it's likely those reports are exaggerated. However, while on route, Enterprise encounters an Orion Syndicate ship that wants Archer to disable weapons
Archer negotiates that both ships should deactivate their weapons at the same time, and the other ship complies. Apparently, they want to smooth over their pas difficulties.
I find the friction between Trip and the new Chief Engineer interesting Apparently Kelby is resentful that Archer has asked Trip to stick around for repairs. T'Pol also tries to have a conversation with Trip about the shared daydream a few episodes ago, but Trip basically shuts her down. He wants to appear a lot more over her than he actually is.
On the Orion ship, Archer and Malcolm are negotiating with the Orion captain, and we learn a bit more about the syndicate. Apparently, while they are slavers, they're not pirates, which I think is an interesting distinction, but that doesn't track with how the Enterprise crew were taken last time we met Orions. Also, apparently, it's bad form to discuss business before entertainment, which in this case means either a meal or an uncomfortable sensual dance sense with some slaves. It kinda bothers me that Archer and Malcolm are so entranced by the slaves dance, and scene just kept going and going.
Apparently the syndicate wants to make a mining deal with Starfleet, and they threw in the three slave girls as a gift to show good faith. He accepts, hopefully to free them (Although apparently he hasn't told them they aren't property). But now they keep seducing the crew, and judging by everyone's reaction to them, they must have some sort of pheromone effect on the crew. One of the girls ends up sleeping with archer, and the camera going forward after that scene is all wide angles and kinda shaky, as if he's drunk, so definitely some pheromone effect.
Enterprise arrives at the planet, but they're immediately attacked. The ship's weapons dont have much effect on Enterprise, but in his current state, Archer orders a full phase canon strike on it, which everyone on the bridge knows is a complete over-reaction, and refuse orders. The other ship simply moves off.
Another one of the girls pushes Kelby into acting against trip, and sets the reactor off. A fist fight between Kelby and Trip breaks out, and they have to take the Engine off line, and basically all the repairs are reset.
Phlox confirms my pheromone theory, and apparently everyone in the crew has been effected except Trip and T'Pol. The Orion girls are put into Quarantine, and their quarters are searched. A communication device is found, and the slave girls keep playing into Archer's current state to try and get him to release them. The Pheromones seem to give them some control over his actions.
The Orion ship arrives at a meeting point, and it's captain revealed that all of this was a ploy to take out Archer. Enterprise is unable to manoeuvre because the engines are down, so as much as it can fire back, it's still an easy target. The Orions take out Enterprise's weapons and start towing Enterprise away to Orion. The captain of the Orion ship then reveals that it's actually the slavers that are the slaves, not the women, which isn't the great take the episode thinks it is. They were still happily selling other species into slavery. The Orion girls arrive on the bridge, and start trying to turn Archer, Malcolm and Travis against everyone, but Trip stuns them. I love how baffled they are at trip's immunity to them. Trip hands them off back to the orion ship, and things are getting back to normal.
This episode made me feel kinda uncomfortable to begin with, but as the focus shifted away from the Orion girls and towards the crew it got better. I don't know if I would go as far to call the episode enjoyable, but the way it forced Trip and T'Pol to acknowledge their relationship, first through the Psychic bond that was keeping Trip Immune and then through T'Pol finally admitting she wants to be around Trip.
The list I'm following recommends to skip the next two episodes until a while later, so next up is Episode 20, and I'm getting really close to the end of Enterprise now. Between that little skip, and the finale also being skipped until much later, I've only got two episodes left.

Synopsis:
The crew of the USS Enterprise was assigned to survey a sector of the galaxy known as the Delta Triangle. More precisely, to research about the mysterious disappearance of a high number of starships on the region from ancient times.
Tumblr media
Once there, the ship had a massive failiure of its sensors and to make the situtation worse, they were received by a squadron of three Klingon battlecruisers, Captain Kirk orders Lieutenant Sulu to fire phasers to the IKS Klothos. The shoots made point blank on the Klingonian vessel but it disappeared, not destroyed.
Tumblr media
One commander of the remaining two Klingon ships blamed Kirk, but the captain decides to move forward to the same place the Klothos was at maximum warp speed. As closer it gets to the place, the ship's crew felt very dizzy by the effect of an ion storm. Suddenly, they were in a place the captain describes as “an interstellar Sargasso Sea” filled with a lot of centuries-old alien starships. One of them, the USS Bonaventure.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Entrerprise had another encounter with the Klothos, but right at the moment both of the captains orders to attack their foes, they were suddenly transported to one of the ships. The one that gathers the Ruling Council of the area named Elysia. That council is composed of 123 races that learned to live peacefully over one thousand years. Every act of violence is punished severely. It is not a parallel universe, is a place with no stars nor planets, a place where time ceased to move, a pocket in the garment of time.
Tumblr media
Captain Kirk and Captain Kor are facing charges of committing acts of violence and they are both facing a sentence of a hundred years of immobilization of their ships and crew. The council's leader, a Romulan named Xerius pardons both of the captains due to their ignorance of Elysia's law. They were turned back to their respective ships.
Tumblr media
At the Ruling Council, an alien female with psionic powers named Magen perceived both of the crews from the Enterprise and the Klothos are planning to escape. Another of the Ruling Council members, an Orion slave girl named Devna was opposed to that idea because she deemed they will die and appealed to Xerius to stop them but the council's leader told her it does not infringe any of the Elysian's laws to try to escape from there.
Tumblr media
At the Enterprise, Kirk tries to find the way to escape from there. He has to do something quickly before the disintegration of the dilithium crystals. The Klingons tried first, but they were unsuccessful. Spock devises a formula based on the failure of the Klingonian ship. He proposes Kirk a solution by linking both their ship and the one of their foes using both warp drives together as one.
Tumblr media
During the gathering of both captains and first officers aboard the Klothos, Spock showed very friendly with the Klingons. It made Doctor McCoy very suspicious about the welfare of their first officer. He asks Kirk to talk with him about the subject and he agrees. Spock tells the captain that he felt the thoughts of the Klingonian officers and knows that although is not clear for him, they are planning something evil.
Tumblr media
The Elysians celebrated a party for both Federation and Klingonian crews. After performing a dance, Devna told to the federation captain that she wanted to be on her home planet again but she thinks it is impossible to move out from this place and begs Kirk not to try. He told her that his home may not be perfect as Elysia, but it is his home no matter its imperfections. Also, during the feast, a Klingon officer started a fight with McCoy. Both ships' captains were on trial by the ruling council again as responsible for the conduct of their crews.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This time, Kirk begs pardon for Kor and his crew because they need them so much for their escape plan. Xerius understood Kirk's intentions and granted the way out of the punishment to the Klingons. During the trial, a female Klingonian officer named Kaz, put an explosive capsule in the warp drive control computer system of the Enterprise.
As the launch of both of the ships' begins, Magen perceived the sabotage to the federation's ship by their counterparts. And the council sends the message to Kirk. Spock throws out the capsule out of the ship before it explodes at warp 8. Both of the ships made their way out of Elysia. Kor takes all the credit for their success, but it is unimportant to Kirk.
Tumblr media
Fascinating Facts:
This episode was written by actress and writer Joyce Perry. It was inspired by legend of the Bermuda Triangle. A region located between Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico. According to the myth, there was a lot of mysterious disappearance of ships and airplanes in that area. An urban legend very popular in the second half of the 20th century. It was the source of inspiration for many science fiction and fantasy works of that time.
Also, it is a mention of the Sargasso sea. A region in the north of the Atlantic Ocean that has an abundant brown seaweed called sargassum. It also bounded by four currents forming an ocean gyre.
Tumblr media
This is the second time the Klingon character, Kor has appeared in a episode. The first time was in a season one episode, “Errand Of Mercy”. It was played by actor John Colicos. He was not available at the time this episode, the voice for Kor was played by James Doohan. Colicos returned to the Kor character years later for three episodes of Deep Space Nine.
Tumblr media
This is the last time the Klingons made their appearance with smooth foreheads. Years later, their appearance changed for the 1979 film, Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
Tumblr media
This is the episode were Nichelle Nichols played the most characters in a single episode. A total of four: Uhura, Devna, Magen and Kaz.
Tumblr media
Most of the designs for the starships stuck in the area of Elysia were unapproved designs for the insectoid pod starship from the pilot episode, “To The Farthest Of The Stars”.

Alright I’ve gotta ask, why is no one writing about male Orions? 😭 not even that Orion CaptainI forget his name has any fics. The only ones I can find are about tendu or Orion slave dancing girls. Which is fine but honestly I feel like a male Orion would make for the best boyfriend for a human women. I mean in Orion society males are the victims of sexism, many of them end up as sex workers when they need jobs or are roped into it, they also aren’t as prized as male Orions can’t release pheromones like women, and just by watching that Orion wedding it’s the men walked down the isle and “given away” . I’m not saying sexism is right I’m just saying they’d understand. I mean seeing just a glimpse of how Orion society treats their men it’s the first time in the topic of sexism I got truly protective of men. Long story short Orions men’s would totally understand in a way men from patriarchal societies wouldn’t. Humanity, Vulcans, Klingons, Romulans, absolutely Ferengi, Cardassian, ect
Oooh, okay, I can only recall 2 Orion Captains with any sort of clarity: Harr Caras from SNW, and the privateer Harrad-Sar from Enterprise. Speaking purely about Harr Caras, I can totally see that. He was struggling to rise above the stereotypes that the galaxy held about his people. Someone like him would genuinely be such an amazing partner.
Admittedly, I don't know as much about the other Orion captain, because I have only seen that episode a couple of times, but I do recall similar statements being made about the whole pheromone discussion. There really should be more fanfics about Orion men.

oh boy Orion slave girls in enterprise. they keep trying to bring this back to make it more idk palatable but it is neveeeer going to work like can we please just forget this one particular shitty bit in the literal pilot episode of the original series instead of doing the worst job anyone's ever seen of fixing this orientalist racist and as if it needs to be said blatantly unethical garbage. archer accepted people as a gift. that's where we're at right now. because the writers can't just go "well the dudes who made this franchise fucked up and were going to forget they said that because it's stupid and sucks." can someone get me out of this stinking hellhole

Velvet was given the location: Jr's club in downtown Vale. Professor Goodwitch had said that it would be a night she would never ever forget. She said, that if she wore the costume, she, Velvet would get the VIP treatment.
As she approached the club, two bouncers led the Faunus girl around to the well lit VIP side-entrance. She didn't really pay attention to the moans her enhanced hearing picked up over the thumping of the clubs subwoofers. She knew Yang frequented this place a lot, and also knew about the reputation the busty blonde had.
But Velvet really should have taken that as a warning. As her night was about to take a serious turn.
The bouncers guided her into the VIP section, then towards the stage where the DJ usually set up. Her confusion at this was answered seconds later when she saw Professor Goodwitch on stage ... and saw her classmates from Beacon. All in bunnygirl costumes, all in various states of being fucked stupid.
Yang and Nora were there in the center of the dance floor. The ginger atop the busty blonde, as a bear Faunus that Velvet recognized as Orion of Team CORS took turns railing into the two girls.
Pyrrha Nikos had a collar and chain around her neck, her tongue was hanging out of her mouth as Velvet’s teammate Fox railed into her from behind.
And then it hit her. This was some fucked up sex slave party! And Professor Goodwitch must have orchestrated it!
"And here is our newest item!" Glynda spoke into the microphone in her hand. "The bunny Faunus of Team CFVY, Velvet! She's a shy girl at first, but if she's in heat~ I hope your mattress has a reinforced frame~ We'll open things up at 500 Lien!~"
