• Nobles of Null is a forum based roleplay site where sci-fi and magic collide. Here, Earth remains fractured and divided despite humanity reaching out to the stars. Worse still, the trans-human slaves of one major power have escaped, only to establish their own Empire, seething with resentment at abuses of the past. Even the discovery of aliens, though medieval in development, has failed to rally these squabbling children of Earth together with its far darker implications. Worse still, is the discovery of the impossible - magic. Practiced by the alien locals, nearly depleted and therefore rare, its reality warping abilities remains abstract and distant to the general populace. All the while, unseen in the darkness of space, forces from without threaten to press in. For those with eyes opened by insight, it is clear that an era is about to end, and that a new age will dawn.

???? A.D., 24 hours after the raid on Gluck

Aboard Daheim One

Beatrix hummed to herself as she laid on her bed, relaxing as she watched internet videos. She was dressed down to match her mood, just sporting an overly-large t-shirt and panties as she crossed her bare legs. It looked like she hadn’t left the spot in a while, with a couple of water bottles and frozen meal wrappers lying around the bed.

Her repast was interrupted when her door opened, quite suddenly, and Joan walked into her room and sat down on the empty office chair, looking at Beatrix quite happily. “ ‘ow’ve ya been da las’ few days?” She asked, looking at Beatrix’s arm. “Enjoyin ‘aving everyone on da ship cay’ah to yer bah’el wound,” She asked, crossing her arms and leaning back in her chair.

“Been doing good,” Bee said after adjusting to having the other woman in the room. Setting her PD to the side as she sat up on her bed, she said, “It’s nice having everyone give me the treatment I deserve, you know? Waiting on me hand and foot, the works.”

“Oh yeah?” Joan asked, looking Beatrix over and shaking her head. “Even Juan don’t lay bout in ‘is skivvies,” She said, looking around the room, picking up some throwaway trash. “Yer gonna cry when ya git med clearance,” She added, looking back at Beatrix. “Seriously, put some trousah’s on fer fuck sake! Ah leas’ try tah seem like a functional person!”

“Goodness,” Bee said, snorting as she pulled a drawer open and pulled out some sweatpants. “Sorry for not meeting your dressing standards, mum. Didn’t expect someone to storm into my room while I was chilling.”

“Wha, we git boarded ya gonna fight off da pirates wif yer bo’el ‘anging out like dat?” Joan asked with a smile.

“I don’t see why not,” Beatrix replied, while putting on her pants. “We got practice with it when we raided the brothel. Besides,” she added, pointing at one of the compartments near the door, “if we were boarded, I got a gun, air mask, and some armor in that cupboard. My ass might be hanging out, but I won’t be caught lying down.”

“Well, ah fink ‘aving da pirates mo’iva’ed ta win so dey kin ‘ave a li’el fun ain’t a good plan,” Joan said, looking at Beatrix’s ass right before the girl got it in her pants. “In dat would git dere attention some fast,” She added with a grin.

“Or they’d be so distracted that I’d have time to shoot their dicks off as they lay dying,” Bee said with a shrug. “Not sure if it’d just be six of one and half dozen of the other though. Anyway, what’s up? I don’t think you came in here to comment on my choice of pajamas.”

“Can ah not wanna ‘ave a rabbit wif a mate?” Joan asked, looking at Beatrix. “Ah ‘ope we’re mates, since ya ‘ook it upon yerself ta try in git me poshed,” She said, sitting back down and staring at Beatrix. “Ah fought ya would ‘unt me down in force me ta tell ya wha ‘appened,” She smiled. “Yer arm gitten in da way of yer passion?”
“Yes and no,” Bee said, “It’s been kinda hard to work up the energy to get out of here for the last week and when I do it's usually when no one else is awake besides the night crew. Besides that, with all the conflicted feelings you had when I last saw you, I thought all there would be to report about was some spooning and having a nice date.” She raised an eyebrow and asked, “Was there more?” Joan just silently stared at Beatrix, biting her lower lip as her face started to flush. “There’s more?!” she asked, sitting up straight. “Spill, woman.”

“Weeellll,” Joan said, looking away. “We watched a movie, sure,” She explained, starting to go red. “Den we finished da popcorn, in a figured ‘e weren’t catching ma signals er somefing,” She said, looking at Beatrix. “So, ah ‘old ‘im ta show me ‘is porn!” She said simply with a shrug.

Bee snorted, barely keeping her face straight. “I mean, I guess that works. Was the collection any good?” she asked, trying to keep from bursting out in laughter.

“Uh,” Joan said, scratching her head. “Ah mean, ‘is mos’ recent wa’ches all ‘ad big tits in da title,” She said, looking away innocently. “Maybe a few MILF’s frown in dere, in da one ah chose ‘ad brunette ‘air. Da dun mean nuffing dough, now does it?” She asked, her shoulders slumping in disappointment.

“Sounds like he has a type,” Beatrix said, smirking as she leaned forward. “I’m assuming he picked up your hints during that time?”

“Ah stopped givin dem,” Joan shrugged. “ ow da ‘ell am ah s’posed tah compete wif dem girls?!” She asked with a frown. “Fell kinda stupid da rest o’ da night…”

Bee blinked a few times and asked, “What do you mean? He essentially masturbates to your doppelgangers.”

“Naw,” Joan shook her head, waving at Beatrix dismissively. “Ah fink yer lyin, ah look nuffin like ‘er,” She said, pulling out her Datapad. “Ah even found ‘er cause ah knew ya would say dat,” She said, playing a video and showing Beatrix exactly what she expected to see. The girl did look almost exactly like Joan, just without the scarring and a younger face. “See? Nuffin like me!”

Bee looked between the other woman and the device a couple of times, before asking, “Are you pulling my leg here? Or do you not seriously see the similarities here?”

Joan rolled her eyes. “Ah’m serious!” She said, scolding Beatrix. “I fink ya bin cooped up too long. Isolation startin ta gt to ya. Readin too far inta fings.”

“You can’t be fucking serious,” Bee said, getting up from her bed and taking the datapad from Joan. “Look, she’s got big tits. You have big tits. She has brown hair, you have brown hair. Same skin color, same eye color, hell, she is probably only five to seven years younger than you. Sure, she doesn’t look like she’s a hardened mercenary that could actually snap a neck with her thighs, but that’s just extra points for a guy like Juan. Can you not see that he’s essentially been satisfying his urge to fuck you with this?” She sighed as she tossed the device back to Joan and sat down on the bed. “So, what happened after that? Did you just continue to tease him and tell him to keep his dick in his pants?”

Joan smiled, watching Beatrix get frustrated. “Ah asked ‘im ‘oo ‘ad a better set ‘o tits,” She said innocently, crossing her arms.

“Please tell me my boy was smart and picked the ones that he was within hand’s reach?” Bee said, crossing her unhurt fingers.

“ ‘e stammered a bit,” Joan said, shrugging her shoulders. “So ah got up, ‘urned on da lights, in took off mah shirt,” She smiled at Beatrix, the smile getting a little devious. “In maybe mah pants followed, aftah ah gave ‘im a kiss.”

“Uh huh,” Bee said, returning the smile and leaning forward again. “So, where’d it go from there?”

“Uh…” Joan said, slowly licking her lips. “Ah may ‘ave… Done somefing… Dat ‘e liked,” She said, her tongue still trailing at the edge of her lips. “Ah found it a li’el ‘ard ta breave fer a bit ‘o it, if ah’m being right ‘onest. ‘Ad a gobstoppah stuck in me froat fer a minute,” She giggled, covering her face.

“Wait,” Bee said, bouncing off the bed. “You gave him a blowjob? And you’re worried about comparing to porn stars?”

“Ah was actually fucking wif ya whive dat,” Joan winked. “Does ya actually fink ah’m dat daft?”

“Thank goodness,” Beatrix said, laughing as she shook her head. “You suckered me good there. So, did he do anything in return?”

“Eh, ‘e ‘ad some good ‘andy work,” Joan shrugged, looking at her nails. “Dough, ah’ve gottah say, ah dun know ‘ow well ya kin keep yer gob shut,” Joan pointed. “Ya in Juan may not fink ah’m an ‘ore, but last fing ah need is da ‘ole ship finking ah’m one, ya ‘ear?” She asked, scolding Beatrix.

“Wow, hey,” Bee said, miming zipping her lips shut before adding, “My lips are sealed, your secrets are safe with me.”

Joan nodded her head. “Sure,” She said, pulling her pack of smokes out of her pocket. “Mind if I?” She asked, showing the pack off. Beatrix nodded her head, and Joan lit a smoke. “Wha else ‘appened,” She asked, taking a strong haul off her smoke. “Oh right, ‘e plowed me like a field.” She said pointedly.

“Yes,” Bee screamed, jumping up and down. “Yes, yes, yes. OTP for the win!” She chuckled as she caught her breath and asked, “Did you get any sleep that night?”

“None at all,” Joan said, leaning back. “But Dun git yer ‘opes up. Ah didn’t give in cause ah fel’ we would git tahgevah,” She explained. “More… Ran outta willpowah in… Kinda begged ‘im ta just fuck me?” She said, her coy expression replaced with embarrassment. “Dough, a ‘eld mah promise, in ah ate ‘im alive.”

“No reason to be embarrassed,” Beatrix said, sitting back down on the bed. “Sounds like you both enjoyed it quite a bit. I’d only be disappointed if you decided this should be the end of it. Have a relationship and appreciate it.”

“Ah’ve started askin ‘im ta sit wif me in da dusties durin meals,” Joan said, grabbing one of the drink cans to use as an ashtray. “Miranda gave ‘im da cold shouldah fer a little, apparently ‘e scared ‘er in Jacob when Jacob snuck out wif ‘is gun,” She said simply. “Dough, ‘es gettin ‘er ta warm up.”

Beatrix nodded in approval. “Good to hear. He really does seem to get along with the kids,” she said. “If you ever need a babysitter to get some ‘time away’, don’t be afraid to ask.”

Joan nodded. “Ah just… Ah just wan mah kids tah grow up in somefing normal…” She said, looking to the side. “Sure, ah may drag em ‘cross da galaxy so ah kin work, but da leas’ ah kin do is ‘ave em grow up wif mum in dad dere ta ‘elp em out,” She said, sadness creeping into her voice as she looked confused. “Ah jus dun know is Juan is… Well… Cut out fer dat kinda life. Spaniard playboy in all.”

“No way to find out until you try,” Bee said with a shrug. “Give him a chance and see how it turns out. He might turn out to be the dad your kids need, which would be great, since kids should have a dad around. Either way, I think you’ll be a better mother if you’ve got a person to turn to who understands you.”

Joan nodded her head. “Sometimes I fink yer more concerned wif mah twat den ah am,” She rolled her eyes. “Dun lie, ya just wan’ me ‘aving a steady supply,” Joan teasingly accused, deflecting the comment.

“It’s not like I’m not getting stuff out of this,” Bee said, smiling as she continued, “I get to watch my teammates being cute together, live vicariously as you recount your exploits, and now that I know the difference, I do like it when you’re more relaxed. Much more sassy.”

Joan rolled her eyes, setting down the can. “Ya make it out like ah’m some ragin bitch all da time!” She said, laughing a little. “Ah’m not dat differen’ den before!”

“True, but I don’t think you pulled the wool over my eyes as well as you did a few minutes ago,” Bee said. “I’m just saying it’s noticeable.”

“Fine,” Joan sighed, leaning back. “Ah guess ah do feel less… Upset,” She said, looking Beatrix over again. “Man, ‘avin a j arfah mus’ be ‘ard wif only one ‘and tah use. ‘Ow ‘ave ya bin dealin wif dat?”

“Ehh, it’s a pain, but I can live with it,” Bee said, looking at her injured arm, still in its cast. “It’ll be up to the job before we get to our next job, which is the important part. Assuming I get out of that injury free,” she continued, tapping her knuckle on the nearby table, “I can celebrate with some quality time with my toys.”

“Ah, well,” Joan said with a smile. “Too bad ya didn’t git tah me first, eh?” She asked, leaning back in her chair. “I mean, yer small, ah’m sure we coulda found somefing we bofe could do,” She said with a wink.

“Feel free to ravish me anytime you like,” Beatrix said, throwing her arms wide in invitation. It was ruined when she cringed and frowned at her injured arm. “Stupid thing.”

“Maybeh,” She said, standing up. “OTP is like, one o dem anime terms yeah?” She asked, hugging herself to frame her breasts. “Wha’ dey call it when da OTP does fings fer da fans?” She asked.

“Fan service,” Bee said, looking up at Joan with a grin. “What are you suggesting?”

“Maybeh ah’ll git ya all ‘ot in sweaty fer some fanservice sometime,” She said, waggling her fingers at Beatrix, walking towards the door. “Anyway, ah’ve gotta run. Da dusties need ta do dere maffs, ah’ll talk ta ya lay’ah,” She said.

“Ughh,” Bee said, groaning as she laid on her bed. “You’re such a tease, Cowboy.”

“No fun if ah weren’t” Joan winked, vanishing down the hall.
“I beg to differ,” Beatrix said, sighing as she got up to close the door. “Get me all hot and bothered, then leave me to deal with it myself? Why, I’d never...”
