Dungeons and Dalliances

7.36 – Empowered Tokens

When the two of them came down from their high, they were left with, like usual, the sticky aftermath. Vanetta looked blankly at her two hands, then at her leather armor, and blanched.

"You—you drenched me in it!"

Natalie elbowed up and cleared her throat. "You were the one aiming. But, uh, sorry?" she offered diplomatically.

A gooey drop of white stuff dripped from the underside of Vanetta's chin—which had come from one of the more dramatic stray shots. Vanetta reflexively wiped at it, only to cover herself in more of Natalie's cum, since her hands had gotten well and thoroughly lubricated themselves.

"Is this normal?" Vanetta huffed. "There's so much."

Natalie gave a lopsided grin. "Maybe you just did a really good job."

Hearing the teasing tone of Natalie's voice, Vanetta froze. "S-Shut up." She looked down at her hands, then at her cum-drenched armor. "No, but really, it's everywhere. That can't be normal."

"I might have better output than most," she coughed. Another curse—or blessing?—of her class. "I, uh, have something to help clean it off, if you want."

Natalie slid the pink transparent pocket pussy off her mostly-softened cock with a shudder. The trial didn't seem to have made it disappear, and the two pillars that had contained the toys had vanished into the ground. She looked around, briefly confused.

"What are we supposed to do with this, anyway?" she asked, waggling the toy.

Vanetta also looked around, her brow furrowing. "Guess it's ours now? Maybe it'll disappear when we leave."

Natalie tried inspecting the item, but it wasn't a supernatural piece of dungeon loot, just a mundane item, so no chunk of information inserted into her head. She paused for a moment, then dragged over her belt of pouches and scooped out an empty monster core. The pocket pussy—still sticky with lube and other fluids—disappeared. She'd deal with that later, she guessed.

"Of course you're keeping it," Vanetta muttered.

Natalie arched an eyebrow. "It's loot from one of the strangest dungeon floors anyone's ever heard of. Of course I'm keeping it."

"And for no other reason, I'm sure."

"Well, it'll be a memento to remember you by, too."

That, like usual, brought Vanetta's ribbing to an abrupt stop, her blush returning. It was way too easy to tease this girl.

Natalie pulled out the promised solution: the vial of cleaning fluid. "This stuff is amazing," she said, removing the stopper with a pop. "Cleans up anything, dries fast, and works on more than just skin. Good for clothes and hair. Removes any products if you had them, though, like makeup and whatnot. Useful in a pinch though."

Vanetta eyed the vial. "Sounds useful."

"Self-regenerates too, as long as you don't use the whole supply."

"Really?"

Natalie nodded. "It's one of my favorite pieces of loot." Not the star of the show like [Valentine] or, say, Ana's very interesting … crystal ball … but undoubtedly an unsung hero. "Here, go ahead. Assuming you don't wanna walk around smelling like—you know what, all day."

Embarrassed, Vanetta wiped her fingers on her chest to clean them and took the vial. She peered inside before pouring some liquid onto the palm of her free hand. Stoppering the vial and setting it aside, she worked the liquid around—then blinked and marveled at how the sticky stuff covering her skin just disappeared. It left the affected parts glossy for a bit, but dried much faster than a thick lube-like material should've.

Intrigued, she worked some of it into her dark leather armor, and the material dampened as it absorbed in. It dried even faster than when applied to her skin, and her armor was left unstained afterward. She sniffed it and found nothing to object about. Nice and clean.

"Wow," Vanetta said, seeming genuinely interested. "I'd want some of this stuff even without, er, your need for it. Have any extra?"

"Just enough for the team, sorry."

"Mm. Fair enough."

Vanetta finished cleaning herself up.

Then she did something that took Natalie by surprise. Casual as could be, she poured out another glob into her hands and leaned forward and started cleaning Natalie too. It was only when her member stiffened at record speed, swelling up as Vanetta massaged the cleaning fluid into it that Vanetta suddenly froze.

Natalie intuited a wonderful bit of insight: Vanetta hadn't been flirting, or teasing. Some part of her brain had just decided to clean Natalie, automatically. Because she had the fluid in hand, and was cleaning up cum, so clearly it was her job. Her brain had turned off.

"Could've done that myself," Natalie said with a shit-eating grin. "But thanks for the hand." Her cock twitched in Vanetta's grip.

She released Natalie's member like it was a hot iron, scooting back rapidly—and Natalie was rewarded with the most furious blush of the day yet.

"I— I was just cleaning. Because— never mind." She thrust the vial at Natalie. "You can finish."

Natalie decided not to press the advantage, despite Vanetta's flaming face. Because there was a dangerous glint in her eye daring her to say something, and Natalie knew how to pick her battles. She'd gotten plenty of victories anyway in the past twenty minutes.

So, she poured out more of the cleaning liquid and made herself presentable. After putting her armor back on and securing her belt and such, she faced Vanetta, who was getting control of herself again. That blunder would be sitting in her thoughts for a while, Natalie suspected.

"Alright," Natalie said. "Tokens should've been enchanted by all that, right?" She nodded at the exit gate of the arena, which had opened up. The encounter was over, officially. Unbuckling the largest of her pouches, the one with the hefty weight of Eros coins, she pulled out her supply of wide, thin currency. "Let's see what we got."

In their travel to the City of Eros, they had collected around seventy tokens, since the trip had been fraught with monsters and they'd needed to cover a fair distance. Which meant she and Vanetta had just shy of three dozen coins each. Pulling the mass of coins out, Natalie counted her supply.

Some of the coins had changed, enchanted by magical energies. The new Tokens were a bright, lustrous pink, shining even more than polished erotite. A stark counterpart to the duller pink-purple non-enchanted tokens. She had nineteen, and sixteen of the basic coins. Natalie's eyebrows went up.

"More than half. Better than I thought. People were making it sound like enchanting tokens would take a while."

"We're probably more efficient than most, Natalie. We'll need to ask around. We got to the seventh round, and almost beat that too. How far does the average team get?"

Good question. Still, it meant they'd need to go hunting sooner than later. They were already more than halfway done enchanting with their current supply. Though, with a twelve-hour delay between missions, she'd have gone hunting anyway.

"Only half are enchanted, though," Vanetta commented. "Which means half aren't."

Natalie hesitated, then nodded.

The implication was obvious. A smile tugged on her lips, and she met Vanetta's eyes.

"Round two, then?"
