We shopped for needed supplies in the city, explored it a bit learned the mind dommed ones name is Sarah Applegate and she used to be a priestess of Harold. Seems most of his priest fell in to 3 catagories, smiling or drooling mental zombies (which they think Sarah is and they are happy she has people looking after her), some died, either by their own hand or from their spells all suddenly blowing out there minds - that was most of the higher ranking ones - the last ones screamed, cried, or just walk around looking lost because their King is dead. Caught right in the middle of that pillar of pure spiritual energy. Some few are thinking he will return when he is able to reform a new physical body, another group put forth he ascended but lost control of the energies at the end and that is what the pillar was. So the Cult of Harold still exist, but it's priest have no spells and it's few remaining Paladins are just Specialty Cavaliers now. Rose teases I missed a few. I point out that they were not in the city at the time which is the only reason any are left.
Thing I learn about Rose, she is a compulsive thief. Small items tend to disappear into her bag. I talk to her about it and learn she is of the Daywalkers version of the Ravnos. Compulsive criminals are the norm. I also learn she is of Shules line. Which I find fascinating. She is impressed that I don't mind as long as she does not get caught. Which eventualy brings out my side job as a rogue. Though I explain most of mine is being very sneaky and good at hiding. As I look more like a warrior type, muscular, and tall most never make the connection, which is fine by me.
We check in to some of the Adventurer guilds, Look them over and move on. Some are ok, others a bit shady and one was a front for slavers. Not any more. Rose is scary when frenzing. I just sat back, zapped a few with my staff and let her have fun ripping up the people that tried to enslave us in to meaty chunks. We burned the place to the ground when we left. Then we had to escape the guard cause the local branch all knew of the place and were on the take.
Outside of the city. I thoughtfully got some maps. This is Earth but with different contries and layouts of same. The other races all have their own countries and as such that changes things. Rome exist as a city, but their empire never grew much. Got as far as Florence in the north and Naples in the south. The isles all belong to different peoples being anything from Sea Elves to gobliniods (Corsica has a good number of these while Sardina is a sea elf kingdom). Harolds kingdom was actually in the area Robert new as Austria closer to the border with switzerland which is a dwarven kingdom called Drummond in this world.
Rose pulls my sleeve as we walk along the road, "Robert, I think you forgot one thing, Food for me. Sarah there will not last all that long if you and she are my only food. We really need at least 3 people for me to run on minimum and 5 is better still." I shrug "Not a problem, you get hungery I can alway teleport someone from elsewhere to us for you to nosh on." She considers that and nods, "Ah saving us the hassle of having to take care of extra mouths good idea." she is much calmer after that.
Later that same day Vag informs me he has modified my cloak with some new or different options. Like the Loyal Pet one. Which I shake my head over. Some items are gone, like most of the useless stuff, new useful things or more of the useful things have been added, like food items. several now have 3 or 4 patches instead of one. This is a great help really. I do tell Rose about the new Pet patch and how it now has a 50% chance of summoning a humaniod slave with the slave mentality of likes being a slave, and highly sexualized to boot for easier control I suspect. She nods and puts out that Vag was putting in an emergency food ration for her or a new sex toy for me. I point out it could be both and she just smiles.
Two days later, we have stopped at a nice clearing and are just watching the sunset when Rose ask, "So why haven't you screwed the girl yet ?"
I just give her a long look and slowly Rose shrugs, "I been Wondering why you have not tried me either."
"You never expressed an interest as for her, well there is just something that feels wrong about using her when she lacks free will. I don't know. I am learning about myself. Some things bother me others don't. "
She looks me in the eye, "You are not normal sir."
I decided then a there to be honest with her, "True. I am a reincarnate, my body was created by the gods, they equipped me and sent me out in to the world. John understands that as he was the same way, 500 years ago. That is what he meant about the 1st year bit."
She consders then ask, "How did you die ?"
"Moon card, wished for a new life, healthy body, few special gifts. like that, this is my new life. All grown up memories from my old one but this body never had a childhood. Lacks any of the physical scars such things bring. Also I am not as jaded as John. I am learning to feel again, to be human .. ish. again." she smirks at my humanish line. "Some of the old me is still in here. My training and etiquette and such. I was brought up to respect women. So just taking you or her feels wrong to me. Ironically I don't have any problems with you killing people but I found I could not kill Harold back there, much as I wanted to. Exicuting someone just is not in me. Much as I want it to be sometimes. This calm face, it's a mask over the emotions running around in my head."
She nods, "Your much like a fledgling vampire. I get that, your having to reinvent yourself but at the same time you have all these urges and are unsure what to do with them. Totally understand that."
I grin, "Been there done that got the T shirt."
Blank look, "A T shirt is a shirt that someone painted a saying or picture on. They are normally sold as souvineers of places or events." She slowly nods, "Ah I don't completely understand but I think I get the saying now. Been there done that, meaning ... meaning you have had similar experiences and the T shirt is the proof of that ?" I nod "Yep got it in one." she smiles and surprises me by sitting in my lap. "I don't know if your my Wish or what, but I do like you. Your kind, understanding and sexy as hell. Super smart and you seem to like me despite my being a monster."
I shrug, "I got a vampire girl fetish. Loved vampires since I was a small child. Took me decades to learn why. From what I have been told by some beings who would know, I have been a vampire at least twice in my souls history. Ironically both were killed by the Tremere though for different reasons."
She shakes as she tries to hide her giggles. Shaking does wonderful things to her chest. She pulls my large hand up to her face and licks my palm then puts it on her chest, making me cup one of her boobs, "You can play with these all you want. I love having them played with. Something Dawn never understood about me. I got a boob fetish, mine or other people, I like both men and women pretty much equally and am a kinky little monster. I like that you find me attractive and even that your drawn to my monster side a little. As far as anything more goes, well we will see how things work out. And I really understand why your not just raping the girl. I think that is sweet."
Sarah comes up behind us, "You can use me if you want. I really have never been under Johns control, it was just the shock of Harold dying. Still working that part out. I heard everything that was said about him, how he was stealing souls to power his godhood and all. I don't know how I feel about that. As for my being here. well ... I got no place else to go really. Also I like being used, spanked, tied up and spanked, um well I don't know. Never found anyone else as kinky as me and as such I don't know what my limits are. I do like being ordered around by strong people. It's one reason I joined the priesthood, there is a lot of that sort of thing in the training. I was a bit disappointed there was not after I was annoitned a full priestess though."

I look at Rose, she at me and I state, "She is very kinky. Masochist by the sound of it." Both ask, "What is a masochist ?"
"Ok, A Sadist is someone who enjoys seeing others in pain or inflicting pain on others for their own reasons." They nod, both stating they know that. "A masochist is someone who enjoys being in pain, be it physical or emotional. Extreme versions like being slaves, told what to do, how to dress, who to fuck, being tied up and used by a prefered master or mistress. There are different levels to that with the highest limit being so far into it that being eaten alive would turn them on and give them pleasure. That level is scary. There are other things beyond that to, I just don't like to think about them. Its all part of what people call the BDSM life style Bondage Domination Sado Masochism."
Sarah nods, "Ok I get it, I don't think I would like being eaten alive, well maybe fed on by miss Rose, but not till I am dead. I want to live, I just want to do it while being punished by someone who enjoys it with me. I am a pervert I know it. Please use me."
I shake my head, "Sex is only a small part of your passions I take it" She nods, "I like working, I don't normally complain unless I feel I need to. I know we are living on the road for now and your an adventurer. I can help there to. I may not have my priest spells anymore but I do have my training. I am a skilled nurse, I know how to care for animals, dogs cats, horses and such. I am skilled with a mace and have killed rats and other small monsters as part of my training. I can use a shield to. I have no sense of modesty either. Only wear clothing because its expected of me. I would love you to put a slave collar on me and just have the dogs fuck me while you watch to. I think, never actually done that, but I do fantasize about it from time to time."
Stan and Ollie look at each other then me, "Please no. No offence boss but we find human females quite ugly." I laugh. "Sorry Stan and Ollie don't want to use you that way. They don't care for human females." She shrugs, "It's not about looks, its about being humiliated and used for anothers pleasure." she sighs. I look at Rose, who looks very intrigued, "So your saying Robert here can have you do pretty much Anything that won't out right kill you and you would be happy ?"
She drops the dress and smiles, "YES PLEASE!" I just rub my face then look at her. "What do you think Rose ?'"
Rose considers, "I say you fuck her little brains out while I watch. But I am a horny girl and while not as over sexed as her, I have my moments."
"As far as I am concerned Rose, you can screw her all you want. I need time to process this." Rose gets up and test things by kissing Sarah. Takes only a minute for Rose to go down on the very willing Sarah. I watch for a little bit then I get up and wander off. I need to think. I don't go far, Just to the road. The offer is very tempting, right out of my darker fantasies. Not sure what to make of it though. Ergo the thinking.
In my old games now would be the time for a random encounter of some sort, from brigands to pest. But nothing like that happens outside of my imagination. As much as this is a fantasy type world from my perspective it's still a living vibrant and not 2D world. All kinds of things going on in the background many of which I will never see or experience.
Ollie comes over, "Hey Boss, we heard what you told them about your origins in this world. Got to say never expected to be working for a new old soul before. That's what we call you type who are new to a world but existed in another for a time. Me and Stan can kinda get what your saying to cause we were not always dogs ya know."
I look down at him, "Ollie, I am a mystic and parapsychologist back home, I know a little something about your nature in that you were likely souls converted in to your present state" I make finger quotes, " 'By the forces of darkness' right ?" Ollie nods, "That about sums it up We don't recall much of our previous existance because the process is a litteral hell experience. But we know what kind of people we were because almost all hell hounds come from that sort of people. Don't go torturing animals. All I am going to say cause I don't think you'd make a good hell hound." I grin, "As a rule I don't torture animals, well physically. Had cats for a while, closet to torture they got were unwanted hugs." Ollie thinks about that and smiles. "Ok That I can see but not what I meant." I nod,"You mean like putting baby animals is a bag and drowning them, or tying one out and letting them starve, stuff like that, or thinking on it certain kinds of sociopaths get off by hurting and torturing animals. I along the right track ?" Ollie nods, "Dead on boss. Don't do it we really don't want to see you as part of the pack that way. Prefer you how you is now." I grin, "Thank you Ollie. I do appreciate that."
"Stan wanted me to tell you that includes making him fuck the crazy girl back there. For some reason that really wigs him out. Um boss, your eyes are glowing." I nod, "Yes they are, got to remember Ollie I have spirit sense amoung my abilities, I can sense the true nature of many forms of spirits. I think I know how Stan ended up on the Doggy track. Hmm yes that would do it. Explains allot about certain south american religions." Ollie shudders, "Ok you just went scary there boss." I look at the giant dog, "Oh no worries Ollie, I already knew about your sins. I may not look it but I used to fight legion demons and one very nasty demon general whose name I refuse to say cause he tends to get pissed to the point of breaking the rules if anyone does." Ollie nods, "Know the one. Yeah no. Don't need him becoming aware of this world. It's screwed up enough as it is. Does explain your ability to see beyond the physical aspects though, ones like him make you learn fast or die horribly." I nod and sigh, "He tried but I had friends on the other side back then. Don't have them in this world though. Not sure if any of my old friends or aquaintances are in this world." Ollie does not ask and I don't hint at it anymore. Even if they were I doubt much would come of it. "Your an odd one Boss. Nice guy who gets along with me and Stan, got a potential vampire girl friend, and a nice if nutty potential girl friend. Then you got a Litteral God living on your back. Him I can't figure out."
I grin, "He is hiding. Kind of something he is known for actually. And he is not on my back but connected to the world via the cloak. Which is a 'holy relic' deal really. He is a neutral power of the old order." Ollies smile comes back, "Not going to say his name."
"His real one no one remembers and well Vag and Hermit are the same word just from different languages. Which is why calling him Vag the Hermit always confuses me, cause litterally that is saying Hermit the Hermit. Which is a really wierd name if you think about it." Ollie has rolled on his back, "Boss your cloak is shaking, you sure he is not just living in the cloak ?" I shrug, "He is an Elder God, I don't know what he is doing. Don't know if it's the full god or just an avatar either. Don't really want to know. I like he is letting me use the cloak cause it's a really nice cloak." Ollie thinks then nods, "Ok Boss. Looks real ratty to me though." I rub his chest, "It's supposed to. All Artifact items must have a 'curse' it's in the rules. So his is ratty and poor looking and makes the person wearing it look that way. Which has good advantages and bad. Perception of the person wearing it is most people think the person is poor. Good way to judge someones character is to see how they treat someone they think is worse off then them." Ollie's little doggy mind just went 'boom' I am watching it happen, it's a strange sight to see on a dogs face. That's when the screaming starts. Looking back I see it's cause Sarah is orgamsing all over Rose's face. Ah good to know, the girl is a squirter. Will need towels around when fucking her. She is loud to, which I really don't mind as I prefer a girl who is vocal during sex. Hate the quiet 'dead' fuck types. If I wanted to fuck a corpse ... not that I do and vampires are not corpses. They walk, talk, eat and screw. Corpses just lay there and molder. And who am I lecturing, this is just my journal...Sometimes I wonder about myself.
