Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-28718853-20170127004906/@comment-33398500-20180115024600

Well, this was the last thing I expected to happen today...

When my son, Jack, had made his way out of the house with his usual case, I simply sighed a bit to myself at the notion of the boy doing something suspicious, but had decided to ignore it. I simply went to relax for the rest of my day off, however, after about five seconds, a knock at the door got me up, going over in order to see who was visiting today. I didn’t get many visitors, Karen’s family didn’t come by anymore, unless it was to see Jack about something...

“Ah, good evening, ma’am... please, come in...” I gestured, allowing the group to enter the house. What was ACEA doing here?

Damn it, Jack...

“Go ahead, I’ve nothing to hide... My son is out at the moment, I’m afraid, so I cannot-“ I started, before the back door was shoved open roughly, a uniformed minotaur walking in, dragging Jack in by the arm.

“Look who I found attempting to slink away!” she then said as if she’d just confirmed what was going on.

“Let me go, you thug, I have my rights!” Jack shouted indignantly as I went toward the two, only to be stopped by a manticore’s tail flashing by my face.

“You did...” Agent Helena then started “...before you started to smuggle contraband to the innocent youths of our fair city! Your child-killers will never hit the streets!” then holding up a paper “I have a warrant to search this premises and all personal property of its inhabitants... we don’t take kindly to condoms in these parts!” the minotaur forcing open the case, causing a flurry of wrapped condoms, both loose and in boxes flying up before falling to the ground.

“You are under arrest for the possession and distribution of a controlled material... You have the right to remain silent...” the minotaur then started, immediately cuffing Jack while now reading him his rights.

“Hey! Let go of my son!” I started, before the mindflayer backed me into a wall while the hellhound began looking around the rest of the house, attempting to sniff out any more of them.

“Do not intervene, or you will be arrested for obstruction of justice, conspiracy and aiding and abetting criminal activity...” she practically whispered to me “...or perhaps, do... then I would be permitted to dig through your mind and see just how involved you are~”

As the minotaur and one of the hellhounds began to walk Jack out to the cars, Helena stepping over to where the mindflayer now had me. “So, tell me, Victor... why do you live alone with your... only son?” sounding as if attempting to be compassionate despite prying far outside her investigation.

“If you must know, my ex-wife left about a year ago, divorced me...” I then commented. It wasn’t that uncommon at this point, typically, human women were prized at this point far more than human men in this society, and thus will leave an unproductive marriage, for a myriad of reasons, typically finding they consider ‘better’ as quickly as they can.

“Ooooh, what a shame...” Helena then started, flashing her own ring now as she said “Sadly, I couldn’t help with that... but there are a great many mamono in this town that would... so I ask again, why do you live alone?”

Admittedly, it was a difficult choice to make, and I still wore my wedding band out in public to keep unmarried mamono at bay, but I knew for a fact I didn’t want to participate in the grinding down of humanity and mamono-kind alike. “Because continuing to mingle and convert is a zero-sum... it’ll inevitably end up with both our races going extinct...” at this point, even the hellhounds had stopped their sweep to turn and look at me.

I had said it: the one thing that mamono didn’t want to hear, the thing that people were blacklisted in mamono society for saying aloud, Helena’s expression darkening visibly “Oh, is that so? Well, I’m afraid to say you’re under arrest... for conspiracy, aiding and abetting criminal activity, and conspiracy to commit treason...” the last charge being due to having spoken against the base fundamental of modern mamono society.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You’re lucky she doesn’t charge you with treason...” the mindflayer then bitterly hissed into my ear, as the two of them now arrested me immediately, the neighbours coming out, curiously staring at what was going on. This was a rare ‘pure human’ neighbourhood as some people put it, where most of the families were human, and I was put in a second car, different from the car they loaded my son into already.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Why am I going into a different-?” I started as they roughly shoved me into a different car, locking the door behind me.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Because your crime was worse than even his!” Helena then groaned angrily, now driving me off with the mindflayer immediately away from the house, leaving the hellhounds to sweep the house for further evidence.

<p class="MsoNormal">The two dragged me, not to a jail, but to a hospital? Rolling me in on a stretcher into what looked like a mental institution, they rolled me into a white room where I then spent the next hour waiting. It wasn’t surprising: many people could be fired for saying something like that around the water cooler, and I said it directly to a federal authority.

<p class="MsoNormal">The door to the room I was kept in opened, three people entered: the first I recognized as Helena, now accompanying a Blue Oni dressed like a doctor, possibly a psychiatrist. The third being was, in fact, far more surprising: a lilim. I didn’t even need to be told she was, because the aura of power around her was overwhelming. “So this is the most recent catch?” she asked curiously as she surveyed me.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yes, ma’am. This one thought it was all right to question our very existence, and our right to reproduce...” Helena spat angrily.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh, dear... it sounds as if someone was not properly educated in the nature of mamono...” the blue oni then fretted, scribbling feverishly on a clipboard she was carrying: likely outlining what manner of treatment she was going to use on me.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Actually, I was... that’s why the reaction’s so sharp... I hit the rawest nerve you mamono have... the zero-sum...” I then said, looking directly at the lilim as I did, fighting down every instinct I had to remain silent, as there was no point to pretending to like what was going on now.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Why you insolent piece of...” Helena started, before the lilim stopped her with a simple gesture.

<p class="MsoNormal">“It is all right, agent. He is here because he needs help... is that not correct? Soon you shall have that racial intolerance purged from your mind, and I have little doubt you will end up paired with a lonely mamono in search of a husband~” the lilim then commented with a smirk. “However, your information, I am afraid, is out of date...” she then nodded, before the oni stepped over to me, stabbing me in the arm with a needle and drawing blood quickly. “Will that be enough?” she then asked the oni, who then nodded quickly.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yes, ma’am...”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Very well then, you may rest for now...” the lilim then stated, waving a hand by my face, as my world went black.

<p class="MsoNormal">Slowly coming back to reality, my eyes opened, taking in the white room around me, but this time, I was in a bed, rather than on the floor, part of me sensing the elevation before I sensed the warmth across my body, before a sudden rush of pleasure swept across my body, for some reason, I had hit climax after a dreamless sleep.

<p class="MsoNormal">Attempting to sit up with a start, I felt my limbs unwilling to move, currently restrained to the bed by leather straps. I looked around, before realizing that my lower body currently had an imp atop it, dressed in a revealing nurse outfit as she had been molesting me in my sleep. “Oh... he’s awake...” she muttered to herself “I guess we’re done here...” she moped.

<p class="MsoNormal">“W-wait, what are you doing on me!?” I practically shouted, struggling against the restraints in an attempt to resist this treatment as she held a small bottle containing white liquid.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Well, they told me to collect a sample for testing, but not to let you feel good while doing so... I almost had that done, too... guess you got lucky and woke up for the good part... you must have made them mad, for them to order that... normally I get to play with the patient a little...” she informed me.

<p class="MsoNormal">Now hopping off of me quickly, she waved “Bye! I’ll be back with your food later!”

<p class="MsoNormal">Roughly an hour later, the door opened up, the lilim from before returning, busily signing a form that the oni doctor had in front of her, imp nurse following behind them. “Guess what, human? You’re free to leave this facility!” the lilim then informed me, doing a little cheer gesture as she did so.

<p class="MsoNormal">At this, my restraints were removed by the imp, who looked disappointed “...and they were going to let me play with you next time...”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Do you require anything?” the blue oni then proceeded to ask, concern dripping from her tone. “Any preferred food? Something to drink? Private bathroom?”

<p class="MsoNormal">Looking at the three, dumbstruck, I asked “W-why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden, yesterday I thought you were going to just leave me in here to die or something...”

<p class="MsoNormal">When I asked this, the Lilim then smiled “Because we’re celebrating, the end of the very thing you were so on edge about! The end of the zero-sum!” she looked positively giddy “...I just found out about my first brother today!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“W-wait... the demon lord bore a son?” I started, looking still as dumbfounded as I was before “But that was supposed to be impossible...”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Nothing is impossible with enough time, power and will!” she then commented happily. “We were holding the announcement back because we wanted to see what caused it to happen... which also concerns you...”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Well, I don’t much care, just get me my clothes and I’ll be headed...” starting toward the door before the lilim stopped me.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh, did you not hear me? I said you were free to leave this facility, not that you got to go home~ You’re coming with me to a brand-new place, with about twenty other guys whose genes met our criteria!” she then explained to me.

<p class="MsoNormal">Backing away from the three before backing into the imp, I asked “W-what criteria?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh, it’s a very important role you now have... evidently, there is a very specific sequence of genes that, when passed from a human to a mamono, override normal development, and allow the child to be born a human, meaning they could be mamono, female human, or, most importantly, male humans!” she spewed out excitedly. “Meaning, you were picked because you could, with your genes properly guided, potentially have male children with a mamono!”

<p class="MsoNormal">That... was not the answer I was expecting... evidently I was one of around twenty guys they had found so far that fit the potential to breed humans born of mamono... doubtless there were more, we were just the first to be found due to our circumstances.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Obviously, we’ll be instituting tests to find ANY suitable candidate, but for now, you’re coming with me...” again waving her hand to cause me to fall to unconsciousness.

<p class="MsoNormal">When again I woke, I was in a different building, the room around me, as it came into focus, looked like a rather charming bedroom, dim lighting, large four-poster bed, and dark purple walls which almost seemed to draw the eye away from the walls toward whatever was actually in the room. A small light in the corner, attached to a black object, told me someone was watching me right now as I woke, but something else told me they wouldn’t stop me if I tried to leave this room.

<p class="MsoNormal">As I stood, and slowly made my way to the door, however, I was stopped, not by some manner of security device, but by who met me at the door: a rather large, intimidating minotaur, who was now grinning down at me “Look who’s finally awake! Good! Means I don’t have to wake you!” When she advanced into the room, I backed away from her, not realizing what was going on, before her eyes lit up as she looked at me “That’s right, get over to the bed and get yourself ready~” she then told me, plainly excited. “I get you first~ Before any of the others!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“W-what others?” I asked her with growing dread as she advanced toward me and the bed, wondering why she looked as if she would just rip what little I was wearing off at any second... this red t-shirt didn’t look like it was going to take the wrath of a minotaur’s heat. Wait... red? Oh... damn.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh? They didn’t tell you? You have the potential to conceive male children with mamono!” a voice called over a speaker in my wall. “She got picked because she has the best chance of actually doing that! Oh, and her vitality and stamina to make sure you do your damnedest to fertilize her didn’t hurt, either!”  the minotaur pushing me into the bed now as she removed what little she was wearing “...however, we must make these tests go as quickly as possible so we can make the news public, so you’ll be getting lots of ‘compatible’ mamono pushed your way with whatever fertility treatments we come up with... I expect you won’t be getting a lot of use out of that bed before you have to replace it~” she finished, or she may have continued, but I lost focus on the noise over the minotaur’s heavy breathing, followed quickly by moans after she tore my clothes away from me.

<p class="MsoNormal">Definitely the last thing I expected to happen...
