Dustin meets The Witch of Amora Glade

For a moment, there was total silence. The forest's ambience filled the air, even if it was a stretch to call it normal 'forest' ambience. The wind was too calm. The trees creaked loudly, as if they'd moved on their own. Most concerning, though, was the occasional squeak or smack of a kiss in the distance, something potentially familiar. For that short silent spell, the bright pinks and purples decorating the foliage and treetops almost seemed a little bit more sinister than they were cutesy.

But it was just his imagination, right?

Before any conclusion could be reached, the unusual silence was broken.
step-step-step-step-step-step-step-bump-CRASH
...the door opened, and an excited squeal rang out. Before Dustin stood the one who'd posted those notices all around: a white-furred cat standing a bit tall over the rabbit, not even counting her pointed hat. Her hands remained clasped to her chest while she greeted and briefly examined her prospective new 'apprentice.'

"Eeee!~ You came for the apprenticeship, right? ...such an adorable one, too..." The witch bent down to meet Dustin on eye level immediately after she spoke, giving him a sly smile. That smile, painted in a rosy pink gloss, was noticeably a bit too close for comfort. She either had little concept of personal space, or she was bearing down on him with more menace than her cutesy attire would suggest. All signs pointed to the latter, however, when she whispered in an eerie, sultry tone...

"Well... are you ready for your exam, bunny-boy...?~"

Leaning backwards as she effortlessly invades his personal space, the short bun finds a soft blush warming his lil cheeks. He turns his head to the side, though his eyes still roam the feline's form: sliding over that cute fuzzy face, her piercing eyes, and something the lapine seems to get caught on... a pair of delicately painted lips.

"Ah..! I..!" Dustin takes a single step back, as far as his lil legs would take him, before offering a small paw in hopes of a proper greeting. "My name is Dustin..! It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss... and yes, I'm here for the apprenticeship! I just have one question, so I know what to expect.... Is this gonna be a written exam, or a physical one, or...?"

Her lips had appeared to subtly purse, almost like she was about to lean in for a kiss... just before the two were distanced, preventing any real certainty about the gesture from being had. She stands back up, putting on a bright smile before extending a paw in turn and shaking Dustin's hand. Even her grip was comforting, as if she was trying to massage the rabbit's paw.

"Ahaha... sorry, sorry. Forgot my manners! Please, call me Nona." After a brief handshake she politely brings both of her hands behind her back... and leans forward while those keen eyes looked over the bunny once more. "...and it's going to be a physical exam. Let's just say you'll be tested on how... receptive you are.~"

Clearing his throat, Dustin looks away to collect himself. She didn't just try to kiss him, did she? The bunny shakes his head, causing his loooong ears to bobble atop his lil noggin. If there was a single word to describe this enthusiastic yet oddly ominous cat, it would be "Comfy"

Still quite a bit uncomfortable with how she's looking over him, the bunny boy is having difficulty maintaining eye contact. "Oh! G-good! I always was better at actually brewing than I was at taking tests..." He lifts his eyes to finally look into her own, feeling an overwhelming aura pour out from her... "But..."

"Receptive to what..?"

The rabbit certainly got his answer, although it was... indirect at best. It happened as soon as they'd made solid eye contact. Nona bent forward a bit, her tail flicking through the air out of instinct. Her butt even made a slight wiggle to boot. Unfortunately, just as quickly as she'd telegraphed herself with those catlike motions... she launched forward with her arms outstretched, those delicately-painted lips puckering up as she did.

She was aimed right at Dustin, and with how forceful the pounce was, it looked like she'd probably take him to the ground if she properly landed it.

(Cat's Pounce)

Cat's Pounce, Swift Disadvantage(Dustin): 50, 5 (Crit Failure!)

Unfortunately for the witch, she was a bit rusty and couldn't properly land her pounce. Dustin YELPS out a squeaky and startled yelp, leaping out of the way of the incoming feline before she could collide with him! She falls gracelessly onto her face with a small -smack-.

"O-oh my god, are you okay..!!" To the little bun it just seemed like she... tripped..? Or maybe got startled by something.. "I..! I'm sorry..! I should have caught you..!"

Dustin gets down on his knees next to the fallen feline with concern covering his adorable little face as he puts a paw onto her back. "H-here, lemme help you back up..." So worried about her well being, as well as simply being confused, the little bunny boy has left himself wide open for another attempt at his lips!

Dustin's WP: 30 (Vulnerable)

There she lay for a moment or two, prone on the ground, a little whiny mewl escaping her before she even tries to roll over to her side. When she does, the bit of genuine hurt in her eyes is revealed and turned directly towards Dustin while she takes his hand. By the time the two are up, that hurt is quickly replaced by a loving stare, complete with an unnatural shimmer in her eye. It silently screamed 'my hero.'

What she went for after was a step above a cutesy look, although it certainly took advantage of the slight intimacy. Those glossy lips of hers curled into a small pucker once again as she leaned in, going for a gentle kiss over Dustin's lips... presumably as a twisted thank-you. Or maybe she's just less trustworthy than she looks...

(Delicate Peck)

Delicate Peck(Amora Gloss): 84 (Auto Hit!)

Regardless of her (less-than-savory intentions), the cat's lips strike true, finding purchase over the short bunny's mouth, taking him by surprise!

"Mnhf..!!~" Dustin is taken aback by the sudden smooch, his eyes widening before sloooowly fluttering to a half-lidded gaze. The edges of his vision cloud with a wispy pink mist, and when their lips pull apart he can't help but find that she just looks amazing.... Like nothing he's ever seen, an absolute angel...

The bunny hops backwards, putting distance between the two, even if his mind wanted him to stay close. "Mhn.. y-you just... d-did you just t-try to drug me with your lipstick..??"

He crouches down low, brow furrowed and getting ready for her next move as he locks eyes with her irresistible visage. "I don't think this apprenticeship is g-gonna work out, Ma'am..!"

Nona's WP: 30 (Unglossed)
Dustin's WP: 28 (Charmed!) (Springloaded)

Nona breaks out into a giggling fit once Dustin jumps away, only calming from it once she hears his response. "Awwh. It's not a bad drug, silly! You'll be fine." While she talks, she reaches a hand into her satchel and steps forward. "...helping me test my products will be part of your role as an apprentice, anyways..."

When she finishes her sentence, she pulls out a small tube of lipstick, popping it open to reveal its saturated pink color. Then, she puckers up and starts daintily applying it to her lips... letting the makeup cleanly slather on while those kissers shone and subtly wobbled. Wait... wobbled?

They seemed... plumper somehow, not even seconds after she'd reapplied. Whatever was in those lipsticks, it was probably dangerous in a different way than that of said 'bad' drugs. The new size on display certainly wasn't made any less noticeable by the exaggerated baby-talking tone she put on after, either. "And doesn't the widdle bunny-wunny wanna pwoperly help ouuut?~"

(Reapply - Growth Gloss)

Reapply (Growth Gloss): Auto-Success!

Those last baby-talking words ring throughout the little bunny's head, the charming effect from her sneaky kiss making him want to just run into her arms like a good little assistant~ She grows more beautiful by the second, his little cheeks flushing warmly as he stares at those lips.... Those incredible lips...

"S-stop trying to t-tempt me..!!" Shutting his eyes tightly, the bunny reaches into the messenger bag slung over his shoulder and...!

Desperate Throw: 65 (Used on Dustin!), 7 ("Stone's Dull Touch" Potion)

Uncorks and downs the first bottle he can get his paws on! A familiar flavor pours over his tongue, before becoming instantly numbed. He couldn't even feel his teeth against his lips... Soon that numbness spreads throughout his entire body, dulling his senses!

Unfortunately for Dustin, his brain seemed to become more numb as well, slowing his thoughts...

Dustin's WP: 28 (Numb1/2) (Charmed)

Those colorful, bountifully glossed-up lips only seemed to become more and more alluring as time went on, smacking with every spoken word and shimmering in the daylight with even the slightest movement. It only became a greater point of focus when she opened her arms, puckering up and leaning inward, teasing Dustin with a silent offer.

"And why shouldn't I tempt you? This is where you ought to be anyways, honey-bun... warm and cozy with me.~" She shook her body, emphasizing her bosom as it swayed from side to side between those inviting outstretched arms. Perhaps it wasn't that intentional, though, considering she was making another catlike butt-wiggle in preparation to pounce and grapple the bunny down to the ground with her.

When she leaped, she remained in just about the same pose, arms ready to pull him into a hug and lips ready to smack against his face once again. Hopefully this time she won't forget that gravity exists.

(Cat's Pounce)

Cat's Pounce, Swift Disadvantage(Dustin): 64, 58 (Success!)

Utterly distracted by her words and rhythmic swayings, the bunny boy had hardly even realized he had been pinned to the ground! His body tingles numbly, not having felt a single bit of the impact of the large feline sailing into his chest, nor the subsequent fall that knocked the wind out of him!

Despite the unfeeling nature of this numbness, however, Dustin's heart begins to flutter and beat faster and faster... Was it her sweet words, promising him love...? Or was it simply the alluring sight of her newly-plumped lips puckering before planting themselves onto his cheek in a kiss he could not feel?

Whatever it was, the bunny boy knew one thing, and that is the fact that he needs to get up! Squirming beneath the pinning weight of the flirtatious feline, Dustin grunts out, fearing what could happen if his numbness were to run out while he was still beneath her..!

Struggle, Snuggable Disadvantage: 25, 9! (Crit Failure!)

But no matter how hard he struggles, her strong, loving arms are always there to keep him 'right where he ought to be'~

He swallows hard, the numbness of his body and mind beginning to fade... He's going to be in some serious trouble if he doesn't escape this hold soon!

Nona's WP: 30 (Growth Gloss 1/3)
Dustin's WP: 27 (Numb 2/2) (Bound)

By the time she had the bun down on the ground, they were already just about face-to-face, even closer than she'd 'unintentionally' gotten during their initial greeting. Not only could she feel that fluttering heartbeat, but he could feel hers, too... it pumped just as quickly, right underneath the deep, soothing purrs rumbling out of her chest and throat.

Nona's affections from there were relentless, her hands wrapping around Dustin's head in preparation- one to the back, and one to his cheek. She murmured to him, "Oh, don't act so scared, bun... you're doing great on this exam. Mh...~" With that, she pulled him right into a deep, direct kiss, her bright-pink lips squishing pleasantly around his muzzle while she forcibly suckled away.

She seemed more than excited to have the bunny-boy in her arms, even beyond her just being on the offensive towards him. Her tail energetically flicked back and forth through the air behind her, and her plush, glossy lips were doing something similar along his face, smearing slightly from side to side while she smothered him in wet, noisy affection. At least that intense and abundant shade of pink wouldn't be too noticeable against his fur...

(Liplock - No Special Lipstick)

Liplock: 81 (Off-Balance Autohit!)

Eyes widening as those huge smoochers lower to his little face, Dustin squirms and WRITHES in a desperate attempt to pull himself away, but every little turn of his head is instantly corrected by her controlling hands bracing his head.

"N-no, pleamnf-- Mnphh..!!~" The entirety of his fuzzy pink muzzle is engulfed by plumped-up lip just as his potion wears off, leaving him to feel her love in its entirety~ His eyes roll back before his lids sloooowly flutter to a dreamy gaze...

Struggle, Snuggable Disadvantage: 78, 95! (Crit Failure!)

She's just so warm and heavy and oh so soft, it's impossible for him to squirm out of her grasp without absolutely loving every feeling of brushing against her...~

Bunny Bite: 17! (Failure!)

He even tries to bury his little muzzle further into her liplock to give him an attempt to nip at her tongue, but those kissers are just too fat, he can't manage to push through..!

Nona's WP: 30 (Growth Gloss 1/3)

Dustin's WP: 22 (Bound) (Off Balance)

Her eyes close in turn with Dustin's as she passionately sucks face, her unnaturally soft lips cushioning everything surrounding his mouth and layering it in shiny pink. Her vocal chords ran like a fine motor underneath the short sequence of high-pitched smooches she was laying on the bunny, although it was all cut short by a stretch and a wet little pop.~

With her lips free of that muzzle, the resulting sheen of lipstick on him was revealed to the open air, and the cat quickly started gushing over the sight. "Oooh, you're just so much cuter with the extra marks! You'll be perfect...!" As the witch spoke, a hand reached down to the satchel at her side, pulling out another one of her many lipsticks. When she brought it up and popped off the cap, however, the saturated bubblegum color was dangerously familiar. "Just hold still now, hun... and lemme give you your 'initiation'...~"

She brought the cosmetic to her lips and began to generously apply it right in front of the bun she laid atop. As it slowly layered over her existing gloss, those kissers started to plump out even more... oh no.

(Reapply - Growth Gloss)

Reapply (Growth Gloss): Auto-Success!

A weary gasp leaves the small bun's lips as his muzzle is freed from Nona's smothering affections, a breathy "Oh No..." whispers past his throat upon realizing just how much worse his situation was getting. Plumping up so much more than before, her wobbly lips graze the tip of his nose without Nona even needing to dip down any further! At this point her fattened kissers nearly take up half of her face...

Struggle, Snuggable Disadvantage: 30, 59! (Failure!)

"Th..This can't be happening..." Overwhelmed by the transformation her face has gone through, the little lapine can only stare, eyes locked on those fat pillows of pure adoration... He might not be able to squeeeze out of her ultra-snuggly embrace, but at least he can reach into his bag and--!

Desperate Throw: 38! (Used on Nona)

-- grabbing the first bottle he can get his little bunny mitts on, Dustin rears back and smashes it harmlessly against the feline's shoulder! His eyes widen with horror as--

6 (Invisibility Potion)

--A slick, silvery liquid spills forth and wraps around the cat, spreading over every last inch of her before she, in an instant, completely disappears from sight!

Dustin is left lying motionless on the ground, completely alone. At least, that's what it would look like to the outside observer. Dustin however, can still VERY much feel the pinning weight of the lipstick-obsessed cat bearing down on him. Things were about to get real weird...

Nona's WP: 30 (Growth Gloss 2/3) (Invisible 1/2)
Dustin's WP: 22 (Bound)

As Nona finishes applying, she smacks her now almost-comedically-large lips. They wobble ever-so-slightly when she proceeds to pucker them up and lean back into the bunny's personal space. From so-up-close, he could probably feel that set of glossed-up smoochers dwarfing his own. They looked like they could cover the entire space from one of his cheeks to the other, and it also looked like that's just what they would be doing in a moment...

...until that bottle smashed against her. She paused, looking down and quickly realizing that the shadow she'd been casting over the bunny was suddenly gone. With a turn to her side and a hand-wave across her face, she confirms it. "...wha... huh...?!" When she invisibly turned her attention back to the rabbit, her once sultry tone and movements were suddenly replaced with... total excitement.

"Eeee!~ I wouldn't have guessed you could brew something like that! You... you talented, adorable little-- mmph!~" She cuts herself off by forcing her face forward, lips puckered and ready to smush a good chunk of the rabbit's face under her now enlarged and invisible lips. Too bad he wouldn't get to enjoy the lovely sight of them closing in on him... oh well.

(Liplock - No Special Lipstick)

Liplock: 43, 69! (nice, but Failure!)

So overwhelmed by the realization of this little bun's alchemical prowess, Nona slams her face down to utterly smother him in love! But she forgot to keep a good hold on his fuzzy head, letting him wrench to the side and avoid the certainly devastating kiss!

Struggle, Snuggable Disadvantage: 24, 25! (Failure!)


Just as he's about to pull himself free, her grip tightens once more and holds him securely in place! Utterly frustrated with this situation, Dustin's temper boils over and he starts flailing about with passion!

Bunny Kicks: 32 (Success! Failure due to invisibility)
Bunny Kicks: 16! (Crit Success!)


"I'm sorry, but I need you to get!! OFF!!" A swift rabbit's foot shoots up and into the feline's gut, sending heavy shockwaves of pain throughout her invisible body and knocking the breath right out of her!

---

Nona's WP: 26 (Growth Gloss 2/3) (Invisibility 2/2) (Stunned!)
Dustin's WP: 22 (Bound) (Sluggish 1)

With the confusion of cleanly missing her target compounded by the shock of getting the wind taken out of her by Dustin's kick, Nona quickly doubled over, curling up against the rabbit and letting out a pained little mewl. Even as she struggled to regain her composure, her grip held strong, although it now felt a bit less like she was trying to keep him pinned down and a bit more like she was suddenly using him for support. Either way, she was certainly adamant about holding onto him like some kind of beloved plushie. "O-ooowwh... nooo..."

With the impact briefly rattling her, she was taking a good, long moment or two to recover from it and collect her breath. Maybe this would be a good opportunity to escape...

Struggle: 35, 15-6= 9! (Crit Failure!)


Grunting and writhing beneath her, Nona finally come back into view. The obsessive cat's invisibility wears off just in time for the bunny to see the horribly distraught look on her face, snapping him back to the reality that he had just kicked her. He strops his strugglings in their entirety for a moment, a look for sorrowful horror on his face.

"O-ohmygod I'm..! I'm so sorry I didn't mean to h-hurt you so bad..!" The poor overly-empathetic bunny can't help but feel terrible about causing harm to the cute cat witch, even with the situation she's put him in...

"P..please forgive me..!"

Aggressive Nuzzle: 64! (Success!)

With a heavy heart, he abandons his attempts to escape for now and rubs his lil cheek against her... though maybe a bit too hard...

Nona's WP: 25 (Growth Gloss 2/3)
Dustin's WP: 22 (Bound) (Sluggish1)

After she'd taken a bit of time to regain the breath that was knocked out of her, Nona opened her eyes and aimed them right at the rabbit's. It was hard to get a read on that mystifying gaze, but it was easy to tell that at the very least there was plenty of love in it. Said love only became more intense after she was given that admittedly rough snuggling, appearing clearly in those soulful pupils and especially in her quiet, breathy whispering.

"I-it's okay, bunny-boy... I can't stay mad at someone so sweet.~"

It was naturally hard to decide which was a greater focus after she spoke- those adoring pink eyes, appearing in the moment like an almost bottomless well of love and forgiveness, or the large, almost bulbous lips just below which were now pursing and preparing to paint Dustin's cheek in another big mark of her affections.

This time he had plenty opportunity to stare the incoming attack on his willpower in the face, the puckered pair taking up a good chunk of his vision as they got close. Her voice, too, only became more sultry, managing to drown out the noises of the midday forest even in its low, quiet tone. "...and that's why you'll make a perfect apprentice. You can be my little sweetie-bun... all you have to do is pucker up.~"

(Delicate Peck)

Delicate Peck: 72! (Success!)


The poor, empathy-driven bunny can feel his heart sink as he realizes the Grand Mistake he's made... again... Letting his guard down and feeling bad for the feline currently pinning him to the ground, he was an easy target for an incoming kiss: One that would easily swallow his muzzle between wobbly smoochers.

He can only watch in horror as suckling lips engulf more than half of his little fuzzy face, staining it a glossy pink while matting his fur down with a low ~mmmmmmMMMWAH!~

Struggle, Snuggable Disadvantage: 6, 47 (Failure!)
Aggressive Nuzzle: 91 (Crit Failure!)

Still feeling terrible for the physical harm he managed to cause her, he tries to wrench his head away and fight affection with affection... But her lips are just too big... so soft... too sticky for him to pull away..!~

Nona's WP: 25 (Growth Gloss 2/3)
Dustin's WP: 18 (Bound) (Sluggish1) (Off-Balance)

...and pull away she likewise does not. Nona's kissers keep a firm hold on his face, gentle suckles coupling with the slight adhesion of her lipstick as it smears and glues around his muzzle with every squish those oversized lips made. Once again her warm embrace begins to consume him, bodies meshing together in pure, intimate closeness. Her arms wrap around him to seal the deal, one palm closing around the back of his head and the other tenderly holding his torso by the side.

With a steadier grip on him now, she only aimed to draw him closer again, close enough to feel her purring and steadily-thumping heartbeat just as he had earlier. Now, though... he got to feel the full brunt of what he would have gotten had that swift kick not been delivered. The difference in this kiss was certainly palpable, feeling even softer and dreamier than any previous. Interestingly, though, she still completely lacked any force in her hug, the very same as when she'd curled up atop him moments before.

The cat's hold was firm and snug, but the only thing really keeping him there was the abnormal comfort lulling him deeper and deeper into her emotional clutches. There was no telling for sure whether or not she put the same wicked deception to that comfort as the forest she calls home... but something about her loving demeanor now seemed to express that it maybe, just maybe, wasn't entirely a trick.

(Liplock - No Special Lipstick)

Liplock: auto-hit!

Fat, wobbling smoochers steadily encroach on more and more of the bunny's face, smooshing and smearing, suckling with pure adoration on poor little Dustin! How long have they been in this position... Minutes..? Hours, just pinned to the grass under the obsessive weight of this eager feline..?

Struggle, Snuggable Disadvantage: 63, 81! (Failure!)

Should he even care?~

Endlessly pampered beneath an immense pair of lips, loved and adored... Maybe this is where he was always meant to be..?~

Aggressive Nuzzle: 100!! (Crit Success!)

He's giving in... Losing himself to his snuggly instincts... Overwhelmed with love, the little bunny tries to share this feeling, burying his face DEEP into her lips and nuzzling in as hard as he can with his lil fuzzy head!

As adorable a scene as it was, Nona's lips are actually a bit sore from the roughness!
