Cadence sat up with a small squeak as she blinked blearily, cracking her neck side to side as she let the pillow on her face fall into her lap. She yawned, stretching before getting up and looking around. It took mere moments for her to remember she was in Mani and Mun's house, and that she had been put down for a nap some time ago.
For how long, who knows.
She got up after stretching some more and padded out of the room. She looked side to side, considering going into the living room, before she saw an open door that wasn't open before. During the tour with Mani, he had skipped out on a lot of the doors, sure, and she assumed at least two of those went to the basement and the attic.
She curiously stepped closer to the door, which was painted a brilliant white, like fresh snow. Inside the room was nice, the walls white and accents of different shades of neon blue. On the desk directly across from the door, she saw what looked like a bright yellow collar with green spikes, and she perked up as she stepped into the room.
It wasn't Mun's room, so it should be fair game, right? After all, they saw her as a sort of inferior, like a pet, so they wouldn't get too mad if she explored.
She stopped beside the desk, leaning against the wall as she looked down at the collar. It was comparatively small for a Jester, so it must be for a human. The inside was lined with fluffy fur, and it looked quite comfortable.
She didn't touch it, however. She was already in a random room without permission, she wouldn't go farther and fuck with their stuff.
Her ears perked at a sound, brain processing too late before suddenly, her eyes were flashed with a bright light. She blinked once, then looked up to see what looked like Eclipse, but white and blue instead of black and red, standing over her.
"What's this~?" He cooed as he kneeled, upper pair of hands resting on either side of her head as the lower pair rested by her hips, caging her in. "A human? I thought Mun said they'd never get one~"
Cadence made sure to avoid looking into the guy's eyes, not yet knowing what he was like, and not wanting to find out what he would do if he could hypno her. "Not a pet," she replied calmly, "I'm not from around here."
The newcomer chuckled, his upper right hand cupping her face as he leaned in close to whisper in her ear, "I can tell~" He leaned in closer, lower left hand sliding down to grip her thigh and hook it around his waist.
She felt her ears warm up as the cold body pressed closer, knowing she should be freaking out about a stranger pinning her like this, but unable to quell the heat at the mirror Eclipse's actions.
"Who are you?" She asked softly, gasping when his cold upper left hand slid under her shirt to cradle her back, holding her close yet still pinning her to the wall.
"You can call me Nova~" He cooed, rubbing small circles onto her back, his right hands gathering her hands and pinning her wrists above her head with his upper right hand. "Such a cute little human you are! Yet so disobedient~ Don't you know you shouldn't go into people's rooms without permission~?"
She exhaled heavily, head turned to the side as she avoided looking at this Nova character. She really shouldn't be this okay with this level of familiar touches, but the fact that this was a different version of Eclipse made her alarm bells fail to ring. They should be ringing, but they weren't, and that created a bigger problem. Cadence guessed she should probably call for help from Mani. The chances of Mun helping are… well, not likely.
"I think such a bad pet should be punished, hmmm?" Nova continued when it was obvious she wasn't going to respond, "Now what would work as a good punishment for such a misbehaved thing, hmm?"
Cadence squeaked softly, eyes widening as she still refused to meet his gaze. She knew she would be so fucked (hopefully literally) if she were to look into his eyes and let him see the lust building in her soul.
"Maybe should lose her walking privileges~?" Nova continued, and Cadence had to suppress a shiver at the implications, tensing slightly. "Air jail, maybe a bit of bondage," Nova cooed, his hand in her shirt sliding up, the claw toying with her bra clasp.
Her eyebrows raised slightly, glancing at Nova, but only looking at his shoulder. Nova, upon noticing her surprise, grinned and leaned closer, his teeth grey. "Oh? Surprised? I wonder whyyyy," he chuckled, nuzzling her neck.
Cadence couldn't suppress the shiver this time, and Nova perked up as his eyes started to swirling with a fresh green. "Is your neck sensitive~?" He cooed, licking a stripe up her neck, and she jolted.
"Oh, tasty little treat, aren't you?" He cooed, letting go of Cadence's wrists to gently grab her chin and turn her head towards him, moving his head quick enough to catch her gaze.
She squeaked as she found herself unable to look away, relaxing as he felt him rummaging around in her brain.
He grinned, all of his eyes turning into upturned crescents as he leaned in closer. "Oh~?" He cooed, picking her up, "I seeee~ I know exactly what to do to you~"
He brought her over to the bed and gently laid her down, his upper pair of hands sliding up her stomach, causing her to shiver at the cold temperature.
Cadence's thoughts were a bit scattered as Nova gazed into her eyes, though she couldn't help but have a stray thought of Eclipse, which Nova instantly crushed.
"Don't think about that limp dick little party pooper, baby," Nova cooed, pressing himself against her and pinning her to the bed, "Just focus on me~ And what I can do to you~"
His cold breath washed over her neck, and Cadence felt his fangs brush against her neck. She felt a bolt of heat rush straight to her core at the thought of his fangs sinking into her flesh.
Nova chuckled, licking her neck to prepare her for biting, but then paused. He lifted his head, and looked to the door with a slightly annoyed expression.
He let go of Cadence and stepped back, grinning widely. "It seems I have to go. My friend's child is here for her weekly tutoring, and I can't keep her waiting." He leaned forward to give Cadence a peck on the lips, then stepped over to the door.
"I hope to see you again soon, and then continue this," Nova said over his shoulder with a grin, releasing his hypnotic control over her as he left the room.
Cadence didn't sit up for a good couple minutes, just basking in the heat that her lust had enflamed her with. When she did manage to will herself to sit up some time later, she fanned her face to try and cool down the blush that had devoured her ears and face, trying to cool down from that intense encounter. She inhaled deeply before she hopped off the bed and left Nova's room, closing the door behind her as she went back to Mani's room and laid down on the bed.
She was only on the bed for a minute before Mani stepped in with a grin, saying softly, "Are you awake? Sun's here to pick you up."
She opened her eyes, praying that her blush wouldn't be visible to the large yellow and grey Jester. "I 'wake," she murmured, letting herself be picked up.
"Wow, you are burning up!" Mani remarked cheerfully and far too loud for her liking, making the human blush more. The attention brought to herself made her quite embarrassed, and she really wanted to disappear right now. "Maybe you have a fever! Don't worry, I'm sure Sun will know what to do!"
Mani happily flounced out of the room and went back to the living room, where Sun was happily drinking some liquid out of a simple mug, perking up at the sight of Cadence in Mani's arms. "Cadence! Oh I'm so happy to see you! How was your time here?" Questions were shot rapid-fire at Cadence, and she took a moment to process the deluge of words before she could even respond.
"Hi. I'm good. Took a nap, very nice time," Cadence replied simply, smiling as she hoped Sun didn't notice her blush, though she didn't hold too much hope due to how observant he could sometimes be.
Cadence was passed to Sun's grasp, of which the latter was glad to nuzzle and coo the former's head. "She was very well-behaved!" Mani chirped happily, clapping his hands together, "She slept most of the time but she had something to eat as well, so I'm sure she'll be fine until her next meal time."
Sun nodded, grinning as he replied, "Thank you very much! I'm glad she was taken care of so well. If ever the need arrives for her to be watched again, you'll be my first person to contact!"
The two Jesters bumped faces before Sun walked out of the house, and Cadence realized they were like, actually somewhere. They weren't on a ship, but actually on a planet.
Maybe? Or maybe this was in a ship and just… a large enclosure?
Anyway, the front yard was quite nice. It was grassy but not overgrown, with a little step stone path that led from the front door to the fence in the gate. The fence was lined with different colorful and vibrant flowers that were kept contained inside the yard, the white picket fence shimmering with a slight sheen that was reminiscent of a bubble's surface, and obviously an invisible boundary to keep the yard from joining the outside, and vice versa.
Sun stepped out of the yard by opening the gate, which was perfectly sized for him, but as tall as Cadence when she stood up, maybe a little taller. He hummed happily, and stepped onto a square platform, passing his hand over a thin raised platform that made a portal appear. The portal, when Sun stepped through it, actually just went straight into a UTC, which started its journey after the portal closed.
Though before the portal had closed, Cadence had noticed Nova kneeling in the yard of another house nearby, the large white Jester grinning at Cadence and being the last thing she saw of Mani's, Mun's, and apparently Nova's home.
