"Rise and shine hunk!"
The overly familiar greeting comes from your tech girl Lucille, a perky young lady a few decades your junior. You swing up into a sitting position. "Woman you better have something better than than a smile to get me up this early."
The nineteen year old hoods her eyes at you. "Well my mouth's good for more than smiling you know~" she winks cheerily.
"I'm old enough to be your father." You grumble as you head for the shower.
"So you're saying I should call you daddy?" She grins.
You close the door and turn the water on.
"You don't have to close the door! I thought we were friends!"

After cleaning up you examine yourself in the mirror. Silver hair, beard and mustache, all short and neatly trimmed, body like a brick outhouse but with more scars than you'd have liked. You're not doing too badly for your age.
You open the door and see Lucille flopped on your bed with her face on your pillow.
She turns and devours you with her eyes.
"Hubba HUBBA! Oh mama LIKES that daddy."
"Don't you have anyone else to annoy?"
"No hot silver foxes in towels!" She shoots back. "Let alone with such yummy- do you work out?"
"Yes."
"Can I watch?"
You roll your eyes and grab your clothes. After shepherding a protesting young lady out of your room you change into boots, cargo pants and a tank top and meet her on the deck of your-

4 votes for powerful destroyer!

You enter the wide bridge of your destroyer, "Panther Killer", or as Lucille insists it's called after a few drinks: "Pussy Destroyer". The bridge is currently mostly abandoned aside from your young gunner, Rox.
She salutes you casually with a hand that normally directs autocannons to wipe out your enemies and greets you. "What's shakin big poppa?" You groan, not you too.
She tilts her head curiously. Lucille laughs. "I called him daddy earlier and his poor maiden heart couldn't take it!" She pokes her tongue at you.
Rox shakes her head. "Lucille! No molesting the captain before his coffee!"
You deadpan at her. "That's the only problem you've got with that."
"Yup," Roxy hits her fist against her chest and throws peace signs at you. "Silver hair is hot, thirst is mandatory."
"You have silver hair."
"I stand by my words."
Lucille laughs, you rub your eyes. "Remind me why I hired kids?"
"To assemble a lewd harem of nubile young virgins upon which you can slake your INSATIABLE lust-ow!"
You accept Rox's offer of a high five, after that throw she deserves it.
"Cause we cheap and you broke daddy-o."
"Thanks Rox."
"Gotchu senpai."
"Hey how come she gets to call you daddy?" Lucille asks in a huff.
You and Rox smirk at each other before turning to her and saying in unison.
"Silver hair is hot!"
"Jerks."

A viewscreen pops up with the face of your engineer Lena.
"I came in late what are we talking about?"
"Captain's hot." Rox says with a hair flip.
"Oh! Hm. Yeah I can see it. You've got a pretty rockin bod boss."
"The silver though!" Lucille swoons theatrically.
"Oh! Yeah that helps!" Lena adds.
"I'm also hot just in case anyone forgot." Rox adds.
Lucille and Lena say "Ehhhhh,"
"Can I come aboard? I want to see the hot captain too!"
There's silence on the bridge for a while.
Lucille turns to you. "Oh by the way there's an escape pod off the starboard bow. Orders?"

"Who or what is in said escape pod, WHERE did it come from and WHERE is my COFFEE?!"
"She said her name was-" Lucille turns to the screen. "Sorry, your name?"
"Atra! Crewgirl of the Goji, exploratory vessel of the Boba Hive!"
Ah, Boba, possibly the most obnoxiously upbeat hivemind in the stars, though with this one separated from the rest she's doubtless cut off from her sisters, poor thing.
"Hi Atra! I'm Lena!" Lena calls across from the other screen.
"Hi Lena!"
Lucille continues, "As for WHERE, she said her ship was shot down by some sort of pirate vessel over a planet a few AUs upswell of here, she was ejected to call for help, and as for coffee~" she grins and waves her cup around enticingly, "-you can have mine for a kiiiiss~" She flutters her eyelashes extravagantly.
Rox raises hers. "Or mine, same price."
Lucille gasps. "So you like him too!?"
Rox holds up a finger. "I like one-upping you. Also-"
She, Lena and Lucille speak as one: "Silver is hot."

You stride over to Lucille whose reaction slides from giddy joy and a gasp of delight to utter desolation as you pluck the coffee from her hand and drink from the spot with a lipstick mark.
Long black, not bad.
"No FAAAIIIR!" She whines, maling grabby hands at you, "At least let me drink from it too!" She pouts.
Rox shrugs. "I am okay with this."

3 for opening pod!
>>3990584
Well spotted friendo

"Lucille-"
"Yes daddy?"
"...Fire up the tractor beam, get our guest into the port landing bay."

You arrive at the landing bay to find Lena in her trademark skin-tight flightsuit, trying to get the hatch open on the rounded, pink escape pod.
Normally you'd help, but in that outfit you're content to watch her work for a while.
What?
You're her boss! Nothing wrong with getting what you paid for.
"Hey Cap?"
You blink and look her in the eye. "Lena?"
She smiles. "Do you find me attractive?"

>What do you do Captain?
>>
>>3990695
"Yes? But what has that got to do with anything?"
>>
>>3990695
"I think we should focus on our guest for the moment. But yes."
>>
>>3990695

You raise an eyebrow. "I don't see how it's relevant, and I think you should focus on freeing our guest."
She slaps her forehead. "Duh! Sorry Captain, got distracted."
You watch her work for a moment. "But yes. I definitely."
She beams at you and you can't resist teasing her. "If only had silver hair..."
Her face actually falls a little. "So...Are you saying I'm too young for you? Or do you just mean, like, do you prefer Rox?"

>Your move Captain

This could be an interesting quest if all the choices aren't prompts to flirt with our teenage crew members. Maybe try writing updates in longer chunks?
>>
>>3991237
This. Our thot crew clearly need encouragement to do their jobs.
>>
You nerds.

>>3991190
The only woman I'm concerned about right now is Miss Fortune. Now open up that pod and let's see what she dropped on our lap this time.

You raise an eyebrow. "The only woman I'm concerned about right now is Miss Fortune. Now open up that pod and let's see what she dropped on our lap this time." You glance meaningfully at the pod.
She blushes. "Right! Right. Sorry Captain."
You nod. "What's taking so long anyway? Surely she can open it herself?"
Lena shrugs and dons her goggles as she switches tools. "That's what I'm so confused about! She hasn't responded to hails since we got her aboard and the hatch is stuck dead! Something's gone wrong I just don't know-"
She almost falls over as the hatch springs open.
Lena grins. "There we g-"
Her face pales. She slams the hatch shut, leaps off it and sprints towards you. "RUN!"
The two of you only just make the corridor, her slightly ahead of you, when an all-encompassing BOOM shakes the ship as the pod detonates, ripping the bay open to outer space. The two of you are immediately sucked out, or rather would have been if you hadn't grabbed a doorframe, and then caught Lena as she fell by you.
A moment later the bulkhead door slams shut and the intercom blares with Lucille's voice. "CAPTAIN? LENA? CAPTAIN ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!"
You put a finger to your earpiece, looking down at Lena, who landed beneath you, and is looking more than a little shaken. "We're alright. Raise shields and scan for enemy vessels."
"OH THANK GOD! ARE YOU HURT? ARE Y-"
"Now!" You bark.
"Yes sir!"
"Are you alright?" You ask Lena.
She nods, then gives you a shaky smile. "Just got swept off my feet and pinned down by a handsome fella, couldn't be better!"
You smile and help her to her feet. "Get to the engine room."
She salutes. "Aye aye capn!"

The bridge is lit up with warning lights but you can tell the damage is minimal.
Lucille turns to you as you enter, visibly relieved to see you alright. "Captain, multiple sensor readings, small vessels, 4 frigates with fighter support have just warped in 1000 klicks away. They probably think we can't detect them."
True, but being a destroyer, you're fully equipped for tracking and destroying smaller, faster vessels.
At this point you have many options.
You could warp away, you might get pursued but given enough jumps they're sure to quit, though it will cost fuel. Or, you could warp into proximity to the sun, your ship can handle that better than theirs, and it'll at least buy time and cost less fuel. Or you could stay and fight! Rox can paste any two-bit pirate ship, though there may be larger vessels following the frigate escorts. You could even lower shields and act more damaged than you are, beaming out distress calls that could also draw any nearby friendly vessels while you trick them into trying to board.

>What's the plan captain?
>>
>>3991330
Trick them into closing and blow them away, mama didn't raise no silver haired bitch.
>>
>>3991362
Your hair is silver due to age, just as an fyi. You're in your forties.
>>
>>3991366

>>
>>3991385

>>
>>3991385

>>3991330

>>
>>3991397
Who will be?
>>
>>3991362
>>3991397
Sounds good.
>>3991330
Feign damage to lure the enemy ships in, then attack once they're within gun range.
>>
>>3991400
Those guys who want to ambush us.
>>
>>3991362
>>3991397
>>3991401

You stride over to the captain's seat.
"Gunner."
"Aye captain?" Rox says.
"Ready all autocannons and point defense weapons, load them and then power them down, have one of the point defense lasers fire randomly, make it look like a malfunction. Lucille?"
"Yes daddy?" Evidently she's got her cool back.
"Lower shields completely, but keep the capacitors ready to bring them up to full again. Broadcast distress signals on all channels, maximum power, try to actually sound distressed."
"I am distressed! You owe me a kiss!"
"Lena?"
"Cap?"
"Blow out one of our minor thrusters, reduce the rest to minimum power or turn them off, have one or two flare every now and then."
"Aye aye captain!"
You've got a pretty decent crew when they act like it.
Lucille does a good job of sounding distressed, injured even, and Lena makes your ship do the same. Roxy leans back in her seat and closes her eyes, relaxing until it's time.
The pirates swoop in, ugly, blocky vessels surrounded by a dozen fighters.
And then a frigate warps in behind them, its cockpit flanked by databanks and transmitters, and a viewscreen snaps to life in your cockpit.
"Looking a little worse for the wear aren't you big boy?"
Oh for fucking fucks sake FUCK.
Your crew looks at you, even Lena pops up on a viewscreen.
"Stacey, get bent." You snap back.
She smirks. "So forward! But there'll be time for that, after you and your crew eject and your ship is salvage."
You rub your eyes. "Stacey I don't have time for this-"
"You never do, yet here we are! Now be a good boy and eject before my crew drags you out. Your ship is broken. Be smart."
You smile at her. "I am smart."
And then your crew hits just about every button in sight.
Autocannons the size of busses send bullets the size of motorbikes rocketing through the fragile frigates while a wall of point defense beams pierce every fighter in sight. The enemy ships are small yes, fast too, but destroyers carry undersized guns specifically to hunt smaller prey.
And pretty soon, there's no prey left but Stacey in her tech frigate with escape pods fleeing to her from the wreckage of Baby's first fleet.
You smile thinly as Stacey slumps back in her seat and pouts, glaring at you.
"Jerk."
"Give up?"
She sits forward eagerly. "If I do, will I get one on one interrogation from my dashing captor?"
"No."
"Pity." And then her ship explodes. Her screen doesn't even flicker. "Salvage what you can if you want, but you won't have my ship, and you're a fool if you think I'll let you capture me."
You shrug. "Worth a shot."
She reclines in her seat and smiles at you. "So anyway how are you-?"
You close the channel.
Lucille's screen starts filling up with missed calls.
She looks at you with a smile. "Orders captain?"

>Well?

>>3991506

>>
>>3991506
Oh sure!

Your name is up to you guys btw.
You've been a starship captain for a while now, working your way up from smaller boats. Out of your current crew Lucille has been with you longest (but even that's not long) followed by Rox and then Lena, who's only been with you about 10 trips. You have a few more crew who'll be introduced as time goes on. As a freelance captain you do varied work. One of your most common contracts is for security, cruisers feel safer with a destroyer around, and you've also taken bounty hunting, pirate smashing and even exploratory work.
At present you're on your way to safe space after some dicey security work that you pulled off FLAWLESSLY.
You've got contacts who work in salvage/minor piracy who could get a bit more out of these wrecks, but they'd take some time to get here, and you CAN salvage at least SOME of the more obvious parts yourself.
>>
>>3991545
Salvage sounds good then. The pirates can fuck off, they dont deserve a bunk. Their partners can come back for their pods if they care.
>>
>>3991499

>>3991540

You nod. "Good job everyone."
Lucille gasps and raises her hands to her face. "Senpai noticed us!"
Rox clutches her heart, deadpan. "My kokoro." She wrinkles her nose at her cup. "I'm getting more coffee. You want some captain?"
You nod. "Alright, Lena get the repair systems online, fix what needs fixing. Lucille, scramble the salvage drones, extract what you can, prioritize intact electronics, and while they're working on the simple stuff start tractoring in those pods."
"I'll do it if you pat my head!"
Rox walks back and whacks her with a magazine. "There, head patted."
Lucille pouts again, cracks her knuckles and starts typing rapidly. You feel your ship tremble as doors open and shut, robots eject and valves heat up. You've got a good few minutes to kill, you'll be here for hours scraping this lot up, might as well find something to do.
You could relax here on the bridge, maybe have Rox bring you some coffee while Lucille works, you could even send some emails or calls to see about setting up a buyer for anything good you find, or other stuff like that. You'll have to put up with Lucille though.
Or you could always head down to the galley and have Mary cook something up for you, that might be good, or you could just have her bring something up here.
Then again, you could head down to give Lena a hand, you've been promising her some extra engineering staff for a while so she could use the help, but she might want to continue That Talk from earlier.
You also might want to visit the gym, keeping in shape is important, but it's not important when you go there today, just that you do.
Or maybe you have something else in mind?

>Well Captain? What'll it be?
>>
>>3991730
Have Mary start prepping a big meal to celebrate our victory. Give Lena a hand till everyone can eat together.
>>
>>3991741

You stretch. "Rox, message Mary, tell her to cook a victory feast, enough for everyone. I'm going to go give Lena a hand."
Lucille calls out without looking up from her work. "Oh I'd give you more than a hand big boy-"
You leave while she's mid-pickup line.

You find Lena stretching next to a computer terminal.
"Sore back?" You ask.
"Trying to avoid one." She smiles. "I'm gonna be working on this for a while."
"Hopefully not too long, Mary's cooking up a victory meal."
She grins. "As if I needed a reason to finish as quickly as possible!"
You take a seat at a console next to her and take control of a repair drone. Your ship has about the most basic repair systems possible, but you refused to take off until you had them. A few hours of drone work can shave days and thousands of credits off of repairs.
"You know you really don't have to help with this captain."
"Nonsense, we're understaffed as it is, and I've got nothing more pressing to do."
She smiles and gets to work.

You spend a quarter hour or so manipulating a robot in vacuum, plugging leaks and sealing exposed pipes and wires with cement compounds.
After a while Lena removes her goggles for a moment and knocks them against her console before replacing them and smiling at you.
"They're still a little glitchy from the impact."
"Impact?"
"Y'know, when you saved my life?" She grins. "I guess I owe you for that one huh?"
You shrug.
She turns to face you. "Remember what I asked you earlier? Before you saved me?"
Oh here we go again.
"Nope."
"I asked you if you think I'm attractive."
"What an odd question."
"And you said you do."
"Did I?"
She faces you fully. Blushing and smiling. "So...Look, cards on the table, I've wanted to say this for a while. I find you really attractive. Would you like to, I don't know, do something about that? Together I mean? Tonight maybe? It doesn't have to be anything serious! I'm just... I'm curious about you and I'd really love it if we had some fun."
...Well it's a million times more appropriate than any request Lucille's made.

You freeze up a little, not knowing how to answer. "Uh, listen, Lena, maybe if you weren't-" you see her face fall. Those big beautiful puppy dog eyes turning sad as that bulletproof smile of hers wilts a little.
And then you decide, fuck it.
You're a man, she's a woman. You're both adults, she's a nice girl, she wants you and you'd be lying if you said you didn't want to peel that flightsuit off her.
Besides, she's not Stacey and it's not fair to treat her like she is.
"Alright." You say, and Lena's face absolutely lights up like a child on Christmas morning.
"REALLY?"
You just nod. "Just this once."
She does a little happy dance in her seat that you can't help but find adorable.
Still, you roll your eyes and sigh. "Don't make me regret my answer."
She holds up one hand. "Cross my heart! I'll pay you back in full for earlier."
She pokes her tongue out and gives you a cheeky, yet sultry expression. "And if I fail, I'll just have to try again tomorrow night~<3"
You turn back to your work, not knowing how to respond to that. But you do notice that she sits up much straighter in her seat, her fingers practically flying across the keyboard.
She reminds you of a puppy that's just been stroked.
"So! Um, would you like me to come to your room or would you like to come to mine? Oh! And um, is there anything you'd like me to wear? OH! And what time would like us to meet? Would you like me to keep this a secret by the way? I know Lucille would be so jealous but I also think she'd probably demand a thre-"
She can really talk can't she? Before you can assemble anything approaching an answer there's another BOOM that shakes the ship. Lena cries out and you immediately tap your earpiece. "Lucille?!"
You hear your tech officer making incoherent noises of frustration. "BOSS YOUR EX IS A BITCH!"
"What-"
"Those escape pods? Bombs. Bombs set to go off once they hot close enough to a ship. I had the shields down because OF COURSE I did I was pulling in escape pods and of COURSE she expected that so OF COURSE we just got another hole in our hull. I've sealed the bulkheads and it's not major but. Yeah. Fuck Stacey is what I'm saying."
There's silence for a moment.
"...Don't actually fuck Stacey." She says. "Fuck m- ow! Rox!"
You sigh. Great.
You hear a whimper and turn to see Lena hugging herself and trembling.
...
Ah.
Right.
The blast earlier must have.
Yeah. Everyone gets the shakes sometimes, if anyone's justified in having it it's a kid like her.

>What do now Captain?
>>
>>3996363
Time to play dad, I guess. Pat Lena's head and give her something to hang off/lean against.
Have Lucy make sure it's nothing major and scan for hostiles. Amskray with any ill-gotten gains if there's an all-clear.

"Tractor the other pods away from us and have Rox pop them."
"Aye aye captain!" You hear Rox's voice faintly.
"Lucy,"
"Daddy~?"
"...Scan for hostiles and finish up the salvage, make sure you don't drag any more bombs aboard."
"Aye aye captain. And captain?"
"What is it Lucille?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to hear you say my name again."
You take your earpiece out and walk over to Lena, who jerks upright, rubs her eyes, realizes she's wearing goggles and stammers. "S-sorry cap I jus-"
She stiffens up and then relaxes as you stroke her hair, slowly she turns to look up at you, blushing fiercely with her mouth slightly open. "C-captain?"
Her eyes grow even wider as you pull her towards you gently, eyes flicking between your face and your groin untill you feel her relax somewhat when you crouch and rest her face against your chest. "It's okay kid. Everyone gets the shakes sometimes."
She shudders a little and tentatively reaches up to grip the front of your shirt. "You don't."
You put your other arm around, holding her gently as you slowly stroke her hair. "Sure I do. You think I wasn't scared to death earlier?"
She sniffs. "You didn't show it."
"I couldn't. I had to make sure my engineer was safe."
She looks up at you, eyes glistening with unshed tears.
You lift her goggles and cup her face, drying her eyes with your thumbs, a little roughly but you're bad at gentle. "And now you are. So go ahead and shake. You've got no one you need to protect and nothing you need to-"
You probably should have anticipated this, but you're still caught by surprise when you suddenly feel her goggles hit your forehead as she presses her mouth against yours, wrapping her arms around your neck and holding on tight.
...
She tastes like chocolate.

You hold the kiss, gently moving your mouth against hers and pulling her into an embrace, before gently pulling your face away from hers.
Her eyes flutter open, wide open and shining.
She grins. "Wow Cap!"
You smile slightly.
"Feeling better?"
She laughs, sounding almost tipsy. "Yes SIR!"
"Good." You say, and kiss her on the forehead. "Let's save the rest for tonight."
She nods dreamily. "Ok...Ok!" She blinks. "What was I-?"
"Repairs."
"Right!" She presses several wrong buttons before she gets back in the swing of things, and keeps darting looks at you and smiling.
You finish up within an hour, leaving Lena with one last toe-curling kiss and a slap on the butt to ensure crew morale.
You're not sure you've seen her happier.
In relation to the questions she asked you before:

>When did you agree to meet her?
>Her room or yours?
>Did you want her to wear anything in particular?
>Did you want her to be discrete or did you leave her free to tell everyone?

>>3997776
Didn't know they existed. Why would she have them?
>>
>>3997780
Why would she have any kinky clothes to begin with ? She asked us something to wear so I suggested something not that unusual

Maybe she just meant like, lingerie or a nice dress? Not fetish wear.

Who, in your opinion, is Best Girl?

This is basically Naze Turbine quest.

Tough call.
Lucille is the best looking (and has the cutest name) but is vulgar to a really offputting degree.
Rox is... fine. Her design is nothing special, and I don't like her name or the way she speaks.
Lena is the worst of the three in looks, but definitely has the most endearing personality and manner.

Yeah, yeah, everybody loves Overwatch characters, I know. Tracer doesn't do it for me, though. That hair is just awful.

It's not Overwatch appeal, I just like her ass. Also her face. She's hotter than Rox at least.

We haven't had a picture of anyone else's ass, so that's kind of a moot contest.

Clearly you don't properly appreciate silver hair. Or girls who smoke. Honestly the only thing I really dislike about Rox's portrait is her goggles, and Lena has those as well.
>>
>>3998760
Lucille and Rox look way too slender for anything but perky!butt, no datass.
>Clearly you don't properly appreciate silver hair. Or girls who smoke.
I must not! Explain the appeal of both.
>Honestly the only thing I really dislike about Rox's portrait is her goggles, and Lena has those as well.
Lucille wears glasses though.
>>
>>3998792
>Lucille and Rox look way too slender for anything but perky!butt, no datass
I would call this a point of superiority, so at this point it's personal differences.
>silver hair
It's shiny, looks great in the light, compliments a wide variety of different clothing choices, is a rare genetic quirk, etc... it's everything good about blonde hair, but moreso.
>girls who smoke
Alright, I'm not actually sure how to explain why this is hot. I just think it is. Maybe it's all the noir films I've watched.
>Lucille wears glasses though
...and glasses are cuter than the weird brightly colored goggles the other two have. What's the deal with wearing snowboarding equipment on a spaceship?

All girls are best girls in their own ways.

After parting ways with your engineer you head to the gym, removing your shirt and placing a towel on the bench you adjust the gravity to twice standard [a nifty feature Lucille installed, you had to hug her in a tank top as payment. She squealed.] and add 500 pounds of metal to each end of the bar.
Your physical enhancement isn't THE most advanced there is, it's a suite of genetic upgrades and bone/muscle density and toughness enhancing modifications that made you more suited to the rigors of armored combat. You've got to make sure you still get a little exercise in now and then to keep them from making parts of you grow the wrong ways.
You lift the bar until it's sagging like a drawn bow, managing ten reps before you notice something.
Was that camera always there?
You key your earpiece. "Lucille?"
She answers suspiciously fast and with a suspiciously innocent tone. "Yes sir?"
You sigh. "Thought so."
"What?"
You get up and put your shirt back on, ignoring her complaints through your earpiece and heading to the dining hall. You had the dining area modified first thing upon getting the ship, wood paneling, cozy lighting, nice tables and chairs. You DESERVE to feel like you're eating home cooked meals in an actual home damnit, and fortunately you've got one of the loveliest mechanic/cooks in the stars on duty. You enter the kitchen to find Mary swinging her daisy-duke clad hips to some old-school song as she carries a stool so she can get something down from a high shelf. You beat her to it. "You wanted the coffee right?"
She smiles theatrically, placing her hands on her hips. "WELL if it isn't the MAN of the HOUR! Don't I feel all under dressed!"
You hand her the jar and smile. "If you're making what I think you are I'll forgive you."
"Tiramisu sugar, what else? Now you sit yourself down and let me fix the victorious general some coffee."
You sit down and sigh with relaxation as she places a steaming cup of black coffee in front of you, along with a plate of chocolate chip cookies, not store bought, not even stored, the GOOD shit.
"Mary," you say as you dip the first fresh biscuit in your coffee. "When are you going to make an honest fella out of me?"
"Shortly after you make me a granddaughter or Lucille a sibling, I'm not picky." she answers without missing a beat. You groan, she laughs. "Is that daughter of mine giving you trouble?"

Can't wait to see how crazy she'll be. Maybe crazy enough to make a female clone of us, or an artificial human made from our and her spliced DNA, and call it her kid?

But a much more important question: Under her lab coat, is she wearing a sweater.......

Or a dress?

>>4009639

A little crazy and stubborn, but not so forward.

Although I don't think we are fully crewed yet, on a typical ship science/medical crew are on a lower priority, and our science facilities are probably really basic.

You smile wryly. "Oh noooo, not at all." Mary laughs. You put your coffee down. "Is something funny?"
She nods. "Yes." she chuckles as she bustles across the kitchen. "Honestly the way you grump about my girl. She's good for you I think."
You groan. "Please tell me you're not giving me your blessing."
She nods and pats you on the shoulder. "I most certainly am sugar. Just you know, be careful, don't get her pregnant."
Despite yourself you blink. "Didn't you just s-"
She throws her hands up. "Oh fine you twisted my arm, go ahead and get her pregnant have it your way."
"YES!" Lucille comes dashing in around the corner, brandishing a datapad on the record setting as she throws herself into your lap. "You heard the woman big boy!" she purrs as she wraps her arms around your neck. "Get seducing!"
You groan.
"Now now!" Mary says from the fridge. "I want grandkids but don't go making them in my nice clean kitchen."
"MARY" You complain as her daughter brings her face uncomfortably close to yours.
"Aw come on mama," she pouts, "What better place to put a bun in my oven?" she whispers to you.
You roll your eyes.
"Is he rolling his eyes again?" Mary asks.
"Yup!" Lucille crows.
Marry chuckles.
You groan. Mary and Lucille both laugh.
Demons grow stronger in numbers apparently.

"Grub's ready!" Mary says, you put Lucille on the floor who pouts at her mother.
"Mom!"
"Darlin I set things up for you best I could, what more do you want from me?"
Lucille looks at her boobs.
Your celebratory lunch is, to be honest, spectacularly good. The salad is actually food as opposed to lettuce, it's chopped up cucumber, cherry tomato, feta and olives with dressing, and makes perfect company to the Perfect steak, soon to be followed by a fresh tiramisu. Besides Lucille [and maybe Mary?] trying to play footsie with you under the table it's a relaxing and well-deserved meal. The rest of the crew filter in one by one, having heard the announcement over the intercom.
