[x] (Don't Do What Deedee Does, Or Do) … Ask the audience for an idea, because there's an audience right now, isn't there. Sheesh.
-[X] Since Tammy initiated this, she probably had an idea of what to actually do to the hypnotized succubus. Use her idea... on both of them.
… Dreams can sometimes feature the fourth wall! Sure! Listening to the voices from beyond the stars is fine in this context. I think.
Okay, so, Tammy started this. After Senaz saved her. (Ruuude.) With… Magically hypnotic tails. Surely, she had a plan, then, right? Or at least an improvisational semblance of one.
Turning towards the multi-tailed floof, I simply asked… "What were you planning to do with Senaz?" Maybe give her some ironic hell.
Tammy responded, "Hypnotically blank her mind and make her act and think like a dog, then figure out what to do from there."
… I can't do that to a Kitsune. Which means the idea of doing it to both of them to ironically punish her is right out too. Besides, the Succubus rubbing a horn up against me all nuzzly might hurt.
(Idly, I tap Senaz's horn. It feels pretty solid. Huh. I wonder if they're actually useful for anything. Guess it'd depend on the strength of her neck muscles… So probably not a weapon. Could hang bags on them maybe???)
I decide to try Senaz's idea. "What would you do if you'd dominated Tammy?"
"Lots of asking for information. Feel her up a bit maybe, depending on my mood."
"What's your mood right now?"
"Hypnotized."
"... Right." So, that idea's not gonna work either. I mean, I could feel one or both of them up, but… It kinda feels wrong. They're stuck in this place too. This… dream-logic weird version of the Shores of Awakening. Or maybe it's the regular shores and the only dream logic is these two?
That'd make some sense.
"How about this. When I snap my fingers, both of you get to wake up - but you won't try to hypnotize me or each other. We talk, we get to safety, and we can work out the rest later."
Senaz quietly responds, "Yessss." Tammy, on the other hand, responds "Awwwwww…"
So, the Succubus is the less dominate-first-ask-questions-later of the two. Huh. That's not what I expected. Though I guess maybe I should have?
… I raise my hand, but hesitate a bit. What if waking her up ends the dream? Do I wake up back in Vinyedo? And in whose bosom?
Probably the right call, overall, but if that's all the case…
[ ] (Last Stop Before Keep) Just snap my fingers and get outta here.
[ ] (Last Stop Before Keep) … Okay, screw it, I'mma cop a feel on the Succubus while I can. She'd be tempted to do the same for me. (Senaz would.)
[ ] (Last Stop Before Keep) … Okay, I'mma cop a feel on the Kitsune while I can. It's not like I'll get a protag of an entirely different quest breathing down my throat over it. (Daphne would understand.)
[ ] (Last Stop Before Keep) … Maybe something more funny than pervy? But would it even stick? Like, writing on their faces or something…

For the record, if it wasn't obvious, I have the next post of the main plot readied. Senaz and Deeds actually talking Isekai Bullshit from beyond the boundaries of the fourth wall will needs come another day, mayhap.
