            Something had occurred to me over the last few times I had encountered subjects on whom I wished to perform experiments, and it was for that reason that I temporarily ceased experimentation on biological subjects to perform seismographic and geological surveys. In particular, I wanted to determine the nature of the catacomb tunnels that led into my lab, because it seemed slightly odd to me that some individuals had wandered in through that way. I knew there was a dry well just outside of the castle, somewhat down the road, that led into it, but I did have sensors there, which had not been tripped upon the last intrusion into my laboratory. And so I endeavored to compile a more complete map of the tunnels, with the help of my lovely assistant Xei. Xei is a highly sophisticated android who came to me one stormy night a few years ago, and since then she has stayed in the castle, working as a maid and assistant to me. She really is a lovely child, petite with long black hair and a red ribbon on her front, smooth white skin and red eyes. Xei is the archetype of a Gothic Lolita in a dark dress, in other words. She also never seems to feel a need to wear shoes.

 

            In any case, I enlisted Xei’s help in the matter not because I was unwilling to go myself, but because Xei could see in low light without the aid of a flashlight or other such device. She volunteered… well, ‘volunteered’ for the mission after I spoke to her for a while. I seem to have very eloquent fingers. But she was very helpful, surveying the topography of the underground caverns and helping me to discover that they were much, much larger than I had first suspected. When I mapped out the tunnels and caverns Xei had discovered, assisted by my seismographic tools, I noticed that there seemed to be an emerging pattern in how they were laid out. It was as if an intelligent being were overseeing the construction of these tunnels, and they had extended to the outskirts of the city, if my readings were correct. Xei went into the tunnels a few times more, but when she made it into the deeper portions, she often came back quite disheveled. She told me that there were other life forms in the tunnels now besides tiliking, that human-plant and human-spider hybrids had appeared, as well as demons, and that two of the Venus Weeds (as the female plant-creatures called themselves) had had a merry time with Xei, exploiting her thin dress and tickling her quite beyond sense.

 

            So it was today that I accompanied Xei, to try and find what was happening here. It seemed all too clear that other, more intelligent beings were moving into the tunnels, and expanding them for their own purposes. I had no particular qualm with this, but I did feel it necessary to go and speak with them, so that conflicts which could arise in the future would be avoided. Safety was important when going into the tunnels, and so I had to wear a hard had I designed for myself, with a powerful beam built into the front. This I set for a low power and wide arc to allow me to see without being so harsh as to harm the eyes of the beings who dwelled in the darkness here. That would not be a good start. Xei, her hands folded primly at her waist, guided me with her gentle voice, first left, now right, and then down a long, straight path which I imagined must be taking us closer to the city. It took almost an hour to walk fully down that passageway, Xei and I talking quietly with one another as we went. It made the trip less tiresome, but it also served to alert anyone who might be listening, so that we would not stumble upon someone by surprise.

 

            As it turned out, such a precaution was unnecessary. When the long tunnel finally turned, there was a dim cylinder of light that played out on the tunnel wall in front of us, and flanking the tunnel to either side were two of the Venus Weeds that Xei had mentioned, a human’s body from waist up extending out of a flower bulb, and brightly colored petals blooming from that center point, with leaves and roots extending all around. In fact, there were quite a few of these leaves and shoots extending all through the tunnel. They were gatekeepers of a sort, it seemed… “The little girl’s come back to play,” said one, a vine gesturing at Xei and I. “And brought a friend too. Come back for more, did you, little one?” They both grinned, snickering. These two reminded me of Jelex, but Xei spoke up first.

 

            “I have brought my senior here to negotiate,” Xei said quietly, and I nodded, stepping forward. “I would assume I am correct in saying that you or someone you are affiliated with has started to expand and network these tunnels, yes?” I received nods in return and continued. “My name is Felin, and I’m sure you are aware that these tunnels connect to a castle at the far end. I am representing that castle, and I simply come to ensure that we can work out an agreement concerning the use of these tunnels and the comings and goings thereof.” I smiled, gesturing to Xei. “Fortunately, it seems that we have a shared interest in what should happen to trespassers in these tunnels, as indicated by my assistant here. Therefore, I think it would be a simple matter for us to forge an agreement or alliance…”

 

            Alliance, hm?” one of the Venus Weeds asked, a grin on her face as she tapped her chin with a light green finger. Their human halves had a light green color to the skin, making them look like part of the plant. “Well, you say that, but how can we know that you’re telling the truth?” I blinked, and then realized that while I had been talking, vines and roots had ensnared Xei, binding her and drawing her near the Venus Weed that was not talking now. “We’ll give you a test. You see, what we’ve done is spread the word that this is a monster-infested tunnel that needs some heroic adventurers to come and clean it out. It draws the noble types like flies to honey… and then we strike, ensnaring the silly ‘heroes’ and having our little brand of fun…” She pointed down the tunnel opposite where I had entered. “Go down that way and turn right at the fork… there should be a big old spider demon with a giggly little archer in her clutches. Tell her Flana sent you, and that it’s your job to teach the girl ‘the lesson’.” There was an obvious emphasis on ‘lesson’.

 

            “What is the ‘lesson’?” I asked.

 

            “Why, not to come back again… of course they never listen, but it’ll make them hightail it for the nearest exit. And in the meantime, we’ll be playing with your friend here. So you’d best hurry…” The delicate Xei was having her body probed and teased by the soft fingers and fuzzy vines of the Venus Weeds, and already starting to giggle and squirm. Her light, lovely giggling distracted me as I picked my way through the roots and vines of the plant girls. But I trotted onward, taking the right turn as instructed, and there seemed to be another pitch and tone of giggling joining Xei’s in the air… soon, I came across an impressive sight. A spider-human hybrid, having the upper body of a human like the Venus Weeds did but the lower body and legs of a spider now, had a blue-haired girl’s wrists bound with silk and stuck to the ceiling, which left her booted feet dangling a foot off the ground. Her dark and light blue skirts showed a considerable amount of leg as she dangled, her arms bearing long black gloves which seemed to have the function of assisting her in firing arrows quickly. Her top covered her neck and fit snugly, but left waist to ribs entirely exposed and also the entirety of her shoulders and underarms…

 

            The spider gave me a curious look, but I broke in quickly. “Flana sent me. I was seeking an alliance with those who are building these tunnels, and she wished me to teach this girl ‘the lesson’ to prove my worthiness.” A grin and a quick laugh from the spider gave me the go-ahead as she backed away, leaving the archer dangling. “This one’s fresh, barely touched her… let’s see what you can do.” The blue-haired archer was trying to catch her breath, kicking for all she was worth. A quick motion of my tail bound her ankles together, and then I began. It was difficult to choose where to start, but I decided to adopt a top-down approach, sliding my fingers into her bare underarms and circling experimentally. I was pleased with the reaction I got; she yelped, wiggling her body but failing to break the grip of either my tail or the silk, and as I slowly circled her underarms with my claws, the giggling began.

 

            Purring lightly, I let my fingers circle the outer part of her underarm slowly, drawing a concentric circle and making as if I would tease into the very center of her underarm. She believed that, too, shrieking and giggling the further inward I got, but I had no desire to be so predictable. About halfway through this process I suddenly abandoned her underarms, allowing her to start panting and catching her breath… when suddenly my fingers slipped into the slits in her skirts, making her yell with indignation shortly before she snorted with repressed laughter. Like any good adventurer, she was wearing the short skirt/shorts undergarment that was more like a bikini bottom than panties… but it allowed me to get a nice amount of friction on her inner thighs and legs. Gasping laughter that had a warm undertone to it soon came from her lips as my claws raked delicately back and forth against her thighs, from the front of her legs slowly to the inner part, which made her quiver, and back again… Slowly, back and forth, gently touching to the point where I hardly applied any pressure at all. It made her giggle and try to kick, twisting in her bonds and trying to tug down on the silk and break it.

 

            My fingers gradually climbed upwards under her skirt, running against her hips to the tune of gradually increasing laughter… by working her hips, her waist and her thighs, I was able to stir her into a veritable bubbly stew of giggles and twisting, but nothing too severe… yet. Again I stopped tickling, letting her pant and puff with pink cheeks, and this time I allowed her some measure of rest. When I circled around in front of her, I flexed my fingers in a nonverbal tease and grinned, showing my kitten’s teeth as my claws slowly approached her midsection. Her protests and yelps grew louder, her attempts to escape more pronounced… and suddenly I slipped forward, enfolding my arms around her body as if giving a hug, and started to tickle on her back, around her shoulder blades, teasing her spine. This produced a jerk and a little light giggling, but then I put my lips to her firm stomach and started to nibble.

 

            This was the limit for her; she burst into hysterics, laughter ringing down the walls of the tunnel, her body convulsing in my arms as I employed tongue and lips and teeth to lightly nibble, lick, kiss and tease the very sensitive skin of the poor archer. As if things were not bad enough for her, my ears twitched at the sound of light scratching, and I saw that the spider had returned for some fun, her fingers teasing at the girl’s side while her other hand tickled at the girl’s underarm… Between us we kept her there for some time. My soft lips buzzed on her firm skin, sending another loud shriek through the tunnel when I did so, and every now and again I would slide to the side and nibble on the rim of her navel. After a time , I couldn’t even tell when her shrieks of laughter rose and fell, as they seemed to all blend into one long bout of laughter. The archer’s supple body wriggled between us, subject to all of our whims of teasing and torment.

 

            Finally she was released, to collapse in a giggling heap upon the cave’s floor. Not finished with her quite yet, I continued to tickle her stomach, teasing it with my claws, and I whispered, “If you know what’s good for you, you’ll get out of here.” With a yelp, she scurried upright, pausing only to snatch at a bow and a quiver that had been discarded along the side of the tunnel, and ran in the direction from whence she had come. The spider laughed heartily. “Here, give this to Flana,” she said, spinning out a length of silk and tying a knot in it, making the whole thing about a foot long, before handing it to me and grinning. “I think you’d be an excellent ally. Heheh.” With that, she bobbed down on her thorax in an approximation of a bow and skittered off.

 

            I made my way back to where Flana and her cohort had been, and I could hear Xei’s tinkling laughter the whole way, guiding me home. It made me smile as I rounded the corner to see Xei twined around the arms and legs with vines while the two Venus Weeds tickled her lightly. I could not tell them apart, but I assumed Flana was the one who looked up at me as I approached, abandoning Xei’s feet to the tips of fuzzy vines which stroked her soles ever so gently. “Hm? Oh, you must have done very well to get a knot this big. Very well indeed,” Flana said with a giggle, nodding to me. I cut my eyes to the side and smiled at Xei, but made no move to interrupt the gentle stroking of the other Venus Weed’s fingers. “So for this agreement or alliance or whatever…”

 

            “It’s quite simple,” I said with a smile. “Simply allow us to make use of these passages. I wouldn’t restrict you from playing with castle personnel so long as they eventually get through to their destinations… and you can construct dwellings or do as you wish with the tunnels nearer to the castle without restriction, even visit me in my laboratory if you so desire. And if some heroine ever manages to make it through your tunnels, I’ll make sure she gets a good tickling and is sent right back into the catacombs.” Flana grinned, and so it was agreed. “Now, Xei?”

 

            I stepped over to the giggling android and stroked her hair lightly. The Venus Weeds had stopped tickling her in the meantime, but I rubbed her stomach lightly before letting my claws dance lightly. “Nohohoho, Felin please,” Xei giggled softly. “I’ve been tickled so much already…” I shushed her, my fingers dancing delicately on her midsection and waist, and joined by the gentle ministrations of the others. Speaking to Xei in soft, sweet tones and gentle smiles, I teased her lightly as we tickled away at her sensitive body. Xei is ever so sensitive and it’s always lovely to get to tease her like this. Her laughter is oddly addictive. Almost… ‘perfect’, if one could say such a thing. Was it made that way? For once, I did not know, and had no desire to find out, content to simply accept it as it was. Xei’s soft body twisted in her leafy prison, and she squealed to the tune of our tickling fingers, all over, around and around until she was barely able to giggle anymore.

 

            When I carried the softly smiling and flushed Xei down the long tunnel back to the castle, I had a wide grin on my face, and soft little hands wrapped around my neck.
