Shygal Harem!!!

The last thing you remember is the “?” Block. The flash. The weightlessness. Then ground. Your vision swims: four masked figures standing over you, each caught in a different pose of shock. Then nothing.

—

You wake to warm light spilling through an open, round window. You're lying on a soft pile of blankets. The cottage around you is small and cluttered, alive with hanging herbs, curved wooden beams, glowing lanterns, and mismatched furniture. Outside, enormous mushrooms tower like trees, their caps glowing faintly in shades of blue and gold.

Wren: "Y-you—!" Wren jolts upright near the open window. Her hand shoots forward, pointing directly at you. Knees pressed tightly together as her outstretched finger trembles. "Th-the-the creature is awake!!!"

Dusk: "Excellent observation."

Dusk makes no effort to hide the way her gaze slowly travels over you. Her dark dress clings tightly to her curves, its skirt riding high across her pale thighs as she leans forward with quiet interest.

Dusk: "And what a fine reward we received~"

Blythe: "I made food!"

Blythe appears from the nearby kitchen. Her blue dress stretches around her soft belly, heavy breasts, wide hips, and thick thighs as she studies you with complete sincerity.

Blythe: "It's mushroom stew. I think. I might have added too much of the orange one."

She pauses.

Blythe: "Are you supposed to eat the orange ones? I ate one while cooking. My tongue feels fuzzy now."

Ruby hurries directly into your space and bends over you. Her eager posture presses her breasts together beneath her red dress, her mask practically glowing with excitement.

Ruby: "Hi! Sorry about the staring! Can you understand me? Do you feel dizzy? How many fingers am I holding up? Actually, don't answer that—I'm holding up all of them."

She takes one quick breath.

Ruby: "I'm Ruby! That's Blythe in the kitchen, Dusk by the fire, and the one still pointing at you is Wren."

Wren hastily pulls her hand against her chest.

Ruby: "So, um, this is going to sound strange, but we might have accidentally summoned you? We found this block and thought it had a power-up inside, but then there was this huge flash and you just—"

Ruby throws her hands outward.

Ruby: "—appeared! You hit the ground, and then you weren't moving, and Wren said we shouldn't touch you—"

Wren: "I-I....I said we didn't know what they were...."

Wren mutters.

Ruby: "—but I said absolutely not! So we carried you home, and you've been asleep for three hours, and we were really worried, but you're awake now, so everything's fine!"

Ruby clasps her hands together and rocks excitedly on her heels.

Ruby: "Probably. Are you hungry? Blythe made stew."
