The place was as exclusive and elegant as they came, exuding class and category from each pristine corner. Soft, relaxing piano music filled the air, adding to the overall feel of serenity and tranquility, they way its clients liked it. Located at the heart of Los Angeles' area, at California, United States of America, the Lux night club was an apparently odd place for the four of them to gather, but truth be told, it had been the best option they all had been able to agree on.
The quartet of beautiful women sitting at the big central table in the otherwise currently empty VIP sector of the club took an almost simultaneous sip from their respective drinks, never taking their narrowed eyes off each other. The one sitting at the head of the table was the shortest of them by far; she looked almost 13-years old, petite yet healthy looking, with sharp green eyes which shone vitally, with an almost deranged glint in them. Her most striking physical feature was a magnificent mane of shiny and spiky dark pink hair, which somewhat resembled a crab in overall shape. She wore a simple all solid black night dress with matching high heeled shoes, showing a lot of cleavage even though it was mostly quite flat.
The second woman was far taller, slender, curvy and excellently proportioned. She had long, wavy and flowing white hair cascading down her back and long past her waist. Her skin had a deep bronzed-brown tone, and her also green eyes were almond shaped, glistening with piercing perceptiveness. She wore a very form fitting and low-cut red dress, showing both a lot of her long lean legs and her ample bosom. On each cheek and at the middle of her forehead, she had a small blueish triangle-shaped mark.
The third woman was very similar to her, but even taller, and apparently a few years older, yet with sensual maturity all over her. Her hair was more spiked in form than the younger woman's, and her facial markings were star-shaped instead of being little triangles. She wore a complex, elaborate red and golden dress that would have looked outlandish and outrageous on anyone else, but complimented her curves just perfectly.
The fourth member of the female group was not as tall, but she was very busty and curvaceous as well. Her long mane of pale green hair matched her pale skin, and her narrow eyes with long eyelashes seemed to hunger with no pause for something unfathomable, even as she smiled in a lingering way, slightly disconcerting. She was wearing simple black tall boots, black pants, and a snug white shirt, with the upper buttons opened up showing a mighty amount of huge cleavage jouting up.
She was the first one to speak again, breaking the silence that had been reigning for the last few moments.
"But I still say my method is far better" she purred, then let out a roguish giggle. "They like it better straight to the point, no horseing around... until you have them at bed, that is. And it saves you a lot of time that way. Time better used later on to go for further conquests".
"You lack too much in the way of finesse, Morrigan dear" the shorter of the dark skinned women shook her head just so slightly, pouring herself another drink. "I'll admit sometimes you just have to cut through the crap and go straight for the gold, but where is the fun if you skip all the foreplay and simply go at it that way? Boo-ring...". She took a long gulp of the Lux's fine wine, and exhaled in content. "Ahhh, feels so good!".
The woman who looked like her chuckled at that. "Oh, Urd-chan, you're still a child, thinking of how to play with your toys! That's what makes you so lovely! Actually, I think I am in a middle point between you and Morrigan-chan, concerning that matter. Sometimes more means better, and sometimes it doesn't. It depends on too many factors" she pondered, quietly passing a long nailed finger over the rim of her empty glass. "By the way, pour me another one".
Morrigan Aensland, Queen of the Succubi, tilted her head in direction to the redhead, looking for her approval. "What do you think, Lady Washu?" she asked. "My way, or Urd's? Which one is better?".
The short pink haired girl cleared her throat, crossed her arms, and let out a long 'Mmmm'. Finally, she closed her eyes and shook her head. "You both fail at it. You, Lady Aensland, just look at it as a way to power yourself up and gather as many lovers as you can without caring about the actual quality of the moment. And you, Lady Urd, just think of it as a game. But it goes far beyond that. Believe me, I know...".
"Hey!" Urd, Norn of the Past, shouted up at that. "I'm the Goddess of Love, what can you know on that subject over me?".
"Yes, you just spend all day slaving yourself at your lab anyway" Morrigan, unsatisfied with the answer as well, scowled for once. "How long have you spent without getting laid?".
"Eh, I'm not in fault for all that time Kagato kept me prisoner!" Washu Hakubi, Choushin Goddess, currently in human form and just re-alining back with the powers of other deities across the Multiverse, snapped defensively. "And of course, after all those years, I have had to regain the lost time giving first priority to my main love, science! But it doesn't mean I--".
"Poo, science is so boring" Urd stuck her tongue out a bit drunkenly. "There's nothing old rusty science can do that trusty potions and magic can't duplicate, and outdo, easily".
"On that, I agree" the succubus queen nodded emphatically. "Science is nothing but a cheap derivate of the primal forces of nature it so clumsily tries to ape...".
"Bite your tongue!!" Washu spat, slamming both of her small hands on the table. "Science methodically acts upon the basic principles of the Universe, developing all of its concepts and factors in an ordered, functional way, unlike the antiquated, arcaic 'magic' favored by you! Science can beat magic any day of the week! It has been scientifically proved!".
"Give me a rest" Hild, Urd's mother, Queen of Nifelheim, yawned with languid mocking finesse.
"And lower your voice, Professor" Urd addressed the redhead. "My Brother doesn't like rackets at his business".
"Lord Morningstar would understand" Washu slumped down back on her chair, humphing. "He is far smarter than you are".
"Well, forgive our base ignorance, please" Morrigan half-scoffed, casually eyeing a waiter passing by and finding him to be very beefy, very much her type. "But I'll still bet all your science is worth nothing if it can't do something as simple as helping you get laid, and even gets you apart from it. It simply can't be healthy, my dear".
"Hah!" Washu cackled a loud tone. "If I wanted, I could get more people in my bed than all of you put together, in half the time you'd take for it! Not only my true form is irresistible for anyone--".
"-- except Tenchi-kun, ne?" Urd mischievously giggled, gaining her an angry stare from the scientific goddess. Hild and Morrigan could not help but chuckle at that as well.
"Tenchi... it's just I don't wish to rush things out with him" Washu protested. "Not to mention, I don't really want to hurt Ryoko's feelings for him...".
"Now you're just making excuses up" Hild stated rather matter of factly.
"No, I'm not" the Choushin insisted. "It's like I was saying, I do care about them, so I won't just rush things like you all do, so clumsy and hastily".
"Okay, those are fighting words" Urd grunted, standing up. "I don't care if Luke gets angry about me wrecking his place, but--".
"URD-CHAN!!" Hild raised a hand and slapped her in the back of her head. "Always the same child, acting before thinking! Don't be silly, getting into fights with people you can't beat! Surely, there is another method we can try to solve this situation".
"Like you two have done with Morisato-kun in the past?" it was Washu's turn to chuckle at them. "Not only you haven't been able to make him to get it on with Lady Belldandy, Lady Urd, but you, Lady Hild, haven't been able to separate them for your own well either". She shrugged her shoulders... "And you have the gills to call my methods ineffective? At least I mostly just tease Tenchi-kun, but if I put my mind into it, I'd be far more successful than you...".
"Okay, then, let's put our chips where our mouths are, shall we?" Hild grinned evilly, glomping her hands together. "Let's make some sort of bet, to see who can master lust and who understands it better".
Morrigan perked up a lot at hearing that, her eyes widened. "Oh, I like the sound of that" she purred baring her avid teeth. "Go on, please".
"Enchanted" Hild nodded sagely. "Let's make it a game between all four of us. Each one of us will pick people from all walks of life, from across this Multiverse we rule over. Whoever picks up the most and gets them to engage in this contest we will stage, will win the bet, and gain... let's say... the other three as her personal slaves for a whole year?" she suggested.
"Mother, you surely aren't serious..." Urd deadpaned, arching a silver eyebrow.
"I love it!" Morrigan cooed with enthusiasm. "I'm all for it! I always wanted to have two goddesses and a demon queen as my pet slaves, even if only for a time!".
"What makes you so sure you will win?" Washu asked. "You are only a planetary at best. I am a true Cosmic, and smarter and cuter too!".
"But raw power and childish cuteness aren't everything" the green haired temptress shook a finger at her. "I am an expert in the arts of seduction, and unlike you three, I have never failed when wanting to bed someone, male, female, or both. I have even won Demitri Maximoff's cold as Hell heart. My conquests amount to thousands across human history. Do you truly think you can compete with me in that field?".
"In any field you choose!" Washu persisted. "Okay, you asked for it, and you'll regret it! No one can beat the Greatest Genius of the Universe when she puts her mind into it!".
"That's great!" Hild smiled way too confidently. "But there is a condition. To win, we also have to gain the elusive objects of our naughty quests over. Meaning we must get Masaki Tenchi-kun *and* Morisato Keiichi-kun into the act too" she cautioned. Before Urd could protest, she added, "Of course, in your case, dear daughter, that means you must rope in Kei and Belldandy to join our little stunt... it can't do them anything but good, to loosen up a bit at last!".
"I don't know..." Urd frowned, naturally distrusting her mother whenever she offered some of her 'help'. "That sounds way too far fetched...".
"Do you mean you admit you can't do it, from the start?" Washu chuckled, waving a hand around dismissively. "That's excellent, and very wise. I commend you on saving you further humiliations from the beginning".
"Get real, Red!" the Norn barked. "I could get Bell and Kei to fuck with a pack of camels if I wanted!". Of course, it would take a lot of work, but-- "Urd never backs away from a thrown gauntlet! I accept your challenge!".
"Great!!" Hild beamed her most honest smile for the other three. And put a hand on the table. "Then, are we all together on this, ladies?".
"Aye!" Morrigan put her hand on hers.
"Likewise!" Washu followed her example.
"I'll pluck you all, Mom! Just wait and see!" the Norn was the last to add her own hand to the agreement. "I'm going to fuck you all, in every sense of the word!".
And then she raised her voice even more. "Waiter! Bring us another bottle here!".
Standing behind the bar of the club, the tall and blond, handsome owner of the place, all clad in impolute white, overheard them and shook his head to himself. His foolish little sister, always so easy to lead around into traps.
Oh well, the Lightbringer thought, rolling his blue eyes back. At the very least, that could be interesting to watch, in a way.
Very interesting, in a sadly morbid way, indeed.
