Rain started falling in the night, bringing with it a sharp drop in temperature that cooled the pine forest valley and chilled Jadis’ stone hut. Wrapped up in two of the much too small blankets she’d salvaged, Jay and Dys huddled together for warmth and thanked D that the hut’s roof had no serious leaks.
Jadis had half a mind to curse herself an idiot for cannibalizing the third blanket she’d found as lining for her janky leather armor. The cold damp was awful, freezing every bit of her that wasn’t under blankets or pressed up against her own double. She’d needed the padding, though, and the lack of blankets wasn’t the true problem.
The fault lay in her own complacency. Her first couple nights on Oros had been tolerable, temperature-wise at least. She knew that all the survival guides she’d ever watched or read emphasized the extreme importance of making a shelter, which she had done. But part of that shelter should have been the creation of a fire. Jadis hadn’t bothered, and now she was suffering for it.
Not that Jadis was certain a fire was a good idea when horrible skeletal monsters were prowling around with the intent to rip her bones from her flesh. She had no idea if the demons could smell smoke, but the light would probably give her away. Now that she was shivering in the dark, though, Jadis found that she didn’t really care if demons might possibly find her hut, she wanted a damned fire to keep her tits from freezing off.
The long, cold night was a miserable experience, made barely tolerable by Jadis’ twin bodies wrapping around each other. She kept watch the whole night as well, keeping one self awake at all times, trading off between the two every few hours. The hazy torpor that came with keeping one body conscious while the other slept wasn’t as restful as fully going under, but Jadis wasn’t going to risk a nighttime ambush. She doubted the bone thieves cared much about cold rain.
Jadis could barely tell when the morning came, the steady rain not letting up in the slightest. Gray light filtered in through the gaps in shuttered windows and roof eaves, but hardly enough to see by.
The lack of light was a problem. Jadis hadn’t finished her armor project and she needed to be able to clearly see to work with thread and needle. She wanted to finish her armor for both bodies before starting on her plan to purposefully hunt down the skeletal demons in the valley. If she was going to head into combat, she wanted to be as prepared as she possibly could be.
Sighing heavily from two pairs of lips, Jadis checked her status menu to see how much her health had gone up. Before settling in for the night, she’d decided to put her level six attribute point into vitality, not quite willing to experiment blindly just yet. The point had brought her health pool up to two hundred and thirty and she’d gone to bed with one hundred and sixty-five health points.

“So, twenty-three health points healed? That’s three more recovered compared to yesterday,” Jay mused, looking over her stats.
“What’s with the difference? The only thing that’s changed is we have a, well, not bed exactly, but we’ve got blankets and a fur rug.”
“No,” she shook her head, “that’s not the only thing that’s changed. We upped our vitality. That might have a direct impact on health recovery, not just the total health pool.”
“Eh, maybe,” Dys shrugged her shoulders. “Either way, we don’t have full health yet. Probably best we wait on bone-boy hunting until we’re at full strength.”
“Fair enough,” Jay agreed.
The two sat across from each other on the gray pelt, cross legged. Two more jars of preserves were shared between them, one jar containing something similar in taste to carrots and the other filled with an apple-like fruit that had dark green flesh. It was an acceptable breakfast, but after every meal Jadis was craving meat more and more.
“So, what do we do today,” Dys asked, chewing on the last of the green fruits. “It’s still raining, so we aren’t hunting for demons or looting the village.”
Jay took a long gulp of water before answering. “Too dark to try and sew right now, too.”
“It’s too cold to sew. My fingers are freezing! I could stick a needle through my thumb and I probably wouldn’t feel it,” Dys blew into her cupped hands, trying to keep them warm.
“Wish we had a fire,” Jay lamented, staring at the cold and empty hearth of the little fireplace the hut had. A small sooty puddle had formed in the base of it from where rain water had found its way inside the chimney.
A short silence dragged out between the two as Jadis thought over her options.
“I can think of another way to keep warm,” Dys finally spoke up, violet eyes trailing over Jay’s pale curves still dimly visible in the gloom of her stone shelter.
Jay quirked an eyebrow, her eyes doing much the same to Dys’ barely clothed form. “We didn’t have morning wood today, so we don’t have that as an excuse.”
“Who needs excuses?” Dys said as she crawled to her knees and closed the distance to Jay, walking on all fours.
“Someone who at least pretends to not be a complete degenerate?” Jay murmured, enjoying the deliciously sexy sight of Dys on all fours, back arched and eyes hooded with lust.
As the two stared each other down, dual hearts thumping and bodies heating with arousal, both suddenly started giggling madly. Jadis couldn’t help herself. Pretending to be two people was fun and felt natural, but the illusion wasn’t perfect. She was still basically making sexy poses at herself in a mirror, eyeing up her own body with excited desire. Jadis couldn’t help but laugh at the silliness of it.
“I’m still fucking horny,” Dys said between fits of giggles, one hand moving to stroke Jay’s muscled thigh.

Jadis had discovered that one body could climax without the other following suit, but the arousal and pleasure she felt was still being experienced by one consciousness. The Dys half of her felt like she was about to pop at any moment.
“Well,” Jay said, staring at Dys’ member with lascivious smile on her lips, “I guess if we want to be scientific about this experiment, we have to show we can duplicate our initial results.”
“I don’t think duplication is anything we’ll have trouble with,” Dys said, her own husky voice sending a heated thrill up both of Jadis’ spines. “This time, though, I want to try something a little different.”
