"No, that doesn't play," Megumi said. "Sayoko's car is here, and Chihiro's and Keiichi's bikes..."
She checked her watch and snorted.
"Urd wouldn't be up by now unless she absolutely had to be," she muttered. "And Skuld's cartoons started ten minutes ago. Where is everybody then?"
A slight worry came over her then and she stepped forward to open the door. The hallway was nothing new, and so far everything seemed normal, aside from the lack of life, that is. Megumi crept cautiously through the hallway, half-expecting a mad slasher to jump out at her at any moment.
She smelled a slightly stale fragrance as she stepped further into the hallway. Megumi didn't know where it came from, at least, not until she saw the table.
The remains of the previous day's lunch sat on the table, only half-finished. It had been sitting all day and all night until now. No wonder the place stank.
Megumi was growing more worried now. It wasn't at all like Belldandy to leave such a chore undone, something really bad must have happened. The softballer nervously looked about for blood splatters again, and instead caught sight of a tanned foot sticking out from behind where some piece of furniture blocked view of what else was there.
Gulping nervously, she stepped forward at a quicker pace and then stopped upon seeing Urd lying naked on the floor with two other women, neither with a stitch of clothes. One was that Peorth chick that Tamiya had tried to date for a while, the other seemed familiar somehow, but she didn't for certain where from.
For a moment, she thought they were dead, but that thought quickly fled as she leaned down hesitantly to look them over. They were all breathing smoothly and deeply. There were even smiles on their faces of varying kinds.
And there was another stale smell about the three.
Megumi's fear started to subside as she began to realize what had happened. She stood up with a shake of her head and set about looking for the rest of the house's residents.
It wasn't too much further before she found Keiichi sleeping next to Chihiro and Sayoko.
"Sleeping with the boss and with the rich girl, aye?" Megumi asked in a mixture of humor and grim judgment.
She snorted and reached down, with a sneer of disgust for a moment, to shake her brother awake. He didn't even begin to stir. Megumi stared at her senseless brother for a moment and resisted the urge to smack him in the crotch.
She only hoped that Belldandy hadn't seen this already.
Megumi settled for giving her brother a firm, solid pinch. That didn't wake him up either, though she watched a beauty of a bruise start to develop where she'd pinched him. Experimentally, she moved shake the women next to Keiichi awake, but neither of them woke up either.
Worry, creeping into her thoughts again at this unnatural situation, Megumi moved to the bedrooms to look for Belldandy and Skuld. Belldandy was obviously involved in whatever happened. The smell of sex hung about in her room as she continued to sleep soundly, not hearing Megumi's voice or responding to being shaken.
The last one Megumi found was Skuld. At first, seeing Skuld under her blankets, she thought the teenager must have escaped the general chaos, but Skuld wouldn't wake up either. Also, for all the fact that she was fully clothed on first glance, the sex-scent hung about in this room as well, and Megumi caught a glance of a pair of wadded up panties not far away.
Megumi wrung her hands and left Skuld's room, making sure the girl was suitably covered up again before leaving. Returning to the living room, she looked again at the abandoned meal and the sleeping trio and came to a conclusion.
