Let's be honest, folks: you've gone through like half a dozen socks in the last couple of months, haven't you? Yeah. Socks nowadays suck, and we've all got our reasons why. Blah blah globalization wah wah market won't reward quality woo woo creeping degradation of the moral universe. That's whining, and when I whined as a kid my mom locked me in the basement until I built an intricate machine to fix whatever I was whining about. Sometimes, if my uncle was already locked down there, she'd make me do it in the shed instead. Let's go to that shed right now and make a machine to make socks.

Winter is the hardest season for sock survival. For one thing, it's real dry. You get that rough skin, that static electricity, bristly boot soles all the time, and they fall apart on your feet. Big holes. I'm sure Big Sock gets a huge rise in their stocking price – get it? – around this time every year, as everyone needs new socks for Christmas or other seasonal/denominational shopping holidays. Fuck 'em, is what I say. We're going to fix their little red wagon.

Now, you might be unsurprised to hear that humanity already has a machine to make socks. We just don't put good materials in it. Unfortunately, I was never trained to make a machine that makes "good sock materials," whatever those are, so we're going to cut a corner here and slap a Chevy small-block V8 on an AliExpress "Full Automatic High Capacity Socks Machine Sock Knitting Machine for Sport," which I paid $39.95 for and got a 15% off coupon in exchange for giving it a five star review, no matter how many children it maims. Critically: it has free returns, so I can get that forty bucks back when we've made a year's supply of foot coverings.

The most important part of this job is building a good coupling. The massive amount of torque from the vee aight needs to be transferred into the sock-making machine, ideally without breaking it. Otherwise you're going to just spend more money on clutches, dowels, wrist pins and spring baskets than you would have on more socks. It helps if you've gone through an entire undergraduate materials-engineering degree, but for those of us who have gotten a restraining order from their local university, well, we have to do what works. Which is a truck clutch, tactically welded onto this sucker, using the display unit welder that they have at Princess Auto while the employees weren't looking.

Now, let's rev this piece of shit up and make us some socks.

Okay, things have not gone well. I admit that "roaring fire" is a big downside. Turns out that these things really need some yarn loaded into them first. If you just fire it dry, what it actually does is try to turn its own asshole inside out. The good news is that I can probably wear this prolapsed chunk of smouldering wiring harness as a sock. Seems pretty warm, I'm going to count this as a win.

One time someone brought a salvaged Seraph (god knows how they got it) with a VDNI setup in it, and wanted us to repair the mech and replace the interface cockpit with a customer supplied standard cockpit from a Victor. For those of you who have not interacted with a Direct Neural Interface setup -- which I would assume is most y'all for obvious reasons -- the system actually runs all throughout the entire mech structure. Upon informing the customer that removing said equipment would entail:

• Basically stripping down all of the myomer and rewiring the whole musculature with standard wiring

• Reformatting all of the integrity sensors in the structure

• Reprogramming the gyro to talk to a neurohelmet (big job on its own)

• Reprogramming the entire targetting system

The customer asked if we could "just put the Victor cockpit in and piggyback the outputs into its consoles". The Victor cockpit would not fit at all either, since the Celestials seem to only have enough space for a cockpit the size of a bar fridge for some reason.

We eventually got a cockpit setup that would fit, at which point we had also figured out that the NONE of the modules would talk to any of our diagnostics equipment, let alone output anything readable to the cockpit displays. So we had to build a custom harness for whole thing, which involves manually tracing the entire mech's wiring from top to bottom, to figure out which wires going into the cockpit were connected to what components and sensors.

The entire mech runs on 3 different voltage systems, none of them are the same as standard Inner Sphere or even Clan systems, and so many of those god damn wires are duplexed BUS cables.

By the third month we were about ready to dump the thing out in the middle of nowhere and tipping Comstar off to its location, and telling the customer it got stolen.

Oh! And while we were trying to figure this absolute headfuck of a mech out, it was taking up one of our bays and we still had to keep up our standard amount of work output using only the other 3 bays, because this customer was a friend of the shop's owner so we were doing this as a "favour" to the guy.

Long story short if someone ever brings you a Blake mech and asks you to make it work, tell them to take it to a Comstar shop cause you really do not want to, I promise you it will make you want to die. What are you gonna do with it? Do you have ANY other mechs with a C3i computer that it will even be able to connect with? No you don't! Don't lie!

Chestnut Stud across the Multiverse Party

Major Events

Major Motoko Kusanagi, agent of public security team Section 9, was quite the woman to behold for people meeting her for the first time and that was something Bulma knew plenty well. How often did you ever meet a woman whose entire body was mechanical with only her brain and spine being the only organic material within her that helped her to qualify as a cyborg? Yet in spite of her professional demeanor, the Capsule Corp CEO knew she still had needs of a certain kind, the sort of which often required physical intimacy and engagement of an erotic nature and to Bulma, Motoko had qualities that would make her ideal for a little fun she had in mind. Though far as the Major was concerned, she was puzzled as to why she'd been hired and brought over to Capsule Corp's R&D division by the head honcho herself, but according to the chief, the Briefs' woman had asked for her personally....and sweetened the pot with a very generous payday (Seriously, who knew a check could have so many zeroes?!!).

Whatever the reasons, Motoko knew the check had cleared and money was money, besides which it didn't seem like Bulma had anything illegal in mind yet she couldn't feel like there was some sort of ulterior motive. Especially as she could swear, it was like the woman was checking her out and undressing her with her eyes and clearly seemed to like what she saw as she lead the cyborg bombshell to some sort of medical chair that was rigged up like some VR game device. Getting the hint without needing any dreary exposition, Motoko wasted no time in stripping down to her underwear as she soon sat in the chair, allowing herself to be harnessed and a few select wires plugged into the ports in her neck while a headset visor was placed over her eyes. In no time at all, she found herself in a virtual avatar floating amidst a sea of ones and zeroes which soon opened up a window displaying a folder marked Krillin files for some reason. Figuring all Bulma had required of her was to go over some data and analyze while the Capsule Corp head honcho examined her body for scientific or medical purposes, she tapped the folder to open it before her vision became flooded by a flash of white light.....and soon felt her nerves ablaze with what could only be called mindnumbing, exquisite pleasure!!

Motoko wasn't sure what the hell was going on but the next moment all around her, she was surrounded by holographic windows playing goddamn porn videos!! Each and every one of them showing a different woman, some in duos, trios or groups and all of them with the same guy plowing them with what had to be the biggest cock she'd ever seen and she was feeling full sensory feedback from every one of them!! Her virtual body paralyzed by ecstasy as raw, orgasmic bliss surged through it from head to toe, every climax and the sensation of her mouth, ass and especially her pussy being pounded by that meaty slab of heaven, over and over seemingly magnified and multiplying!! If this was a trap, Bulma had gotten her good as she soon felt her virtual avatar body lay on something solid, the sea wall of smut providing white noise as she soon found herself on a king sized bed...and in very familiar company that she was finding herself becoming rather intimately and personally acquainted with......

But of course Kusanagi wasn't just finding her mind becoming sexually familiar with Krillin in the virtual boudoir but her body was also busy getting some action as well as Bulma watched on like the kinky, degenerate hedonist she was. Shamelessly playing with herself at the sight of one of her Warrior Monk dolls performing at peak efficiency with full sexual force as it was mounted atop Motoko's bombshell form and fucking her deep and hard. Her VR headset almost like a kinky cyberpunk blindfold as she was getting the Krillin experience digitally and physically, it was a pornographic trap that had been sprung and Bulma was loving every second of it but not as much as Motoko was, the lucky cyber hottie, as the monitors also showed in splendid quality definition. Really, the Capsule Corp CEO knew it was inevitable, cyborg babes like the Major were drawn to Krillin like flies to a bowl of sugar and honey so she was only helping nature along it taking its course to run.....

While Motoko was getting taken to Satisfaction Avenue on the corner of Bonetown, her virtual form was undergoing an increased assault of pleasure through full sexual force. Finding herself soon in the company of two Krillins as they took turns fucking her one on one before they were double teaming her, making her filling of a short king muscle sandwich as they gave her a dose of double penetration and then spitroasted her, one facefucking her as the other fucked her cowgirl or doggy style. Before she knew it, a third had joined and made his presence known when she felt that length and girth she was becoming so sexually acquainted with suddenly invade her virtually sexy ass with deep, passionate penetration. The ambush of a 3 on one 1 assault wearing down any resistance or hesitation she had in the back of her mind leaving her guard down as she was soon surrounded by a baker's dozen of copies....and soon the centerpiece of a Krillin gangbang!!

As her virtual body drowned in a sea of well hung short kings stuffing her sexy holes and flooding her with their essence, her cybernetic physical being continued to feel the Gs of the Warrior Monk still fucking her with full sexual force. Her quite bubbly synthetic booty cheeks clapping while her tits bounced and sway, her digital nerves surging with jolts of pleasure from head to toe from the spine to her brain as the Krillin clone Frenched her with desire and passion, displaying quite the steady stream of updates they'd been making to the Warrior Monks. Each and everyone ensuring improvement in the quality of their prowess and capability in providing sexual gratification which Motoko was experiencing first hand but Bulma knew this was just the warm up act....after all, had to make sure the Major could be able to handle the real deal himself when the time was right...

A few days on since that kinky little experiment, Krillin had found himself called in by Major General Armstrong and Sargeant Nutz to meet a recent transfer who he’d be giving an orientation to. That being none other than Kusanagi, who in spite of her cool exterior, was feeling so damn turned setting her sights on the short king but really after what Bulma had out her through?! It’s a wonder she didn’t jump him and start doing the horizontal tango but Motoko was a woman of patience so she’d have a moment with him, sooner or later. Good as the virtual clones and that warrior monk had been, it’d be a whole other thing to get it on with the real deal himself….

Shut of course she’d have to remind herself to thank Bulma for pulling some strings for this little transfer arrangement, not to mention the Terrabytes worth of porn she had stored in her databanks. Not just the Double Z stuff either but some of the more…..amateur material that really helped her avoid some sleepless nights. Credit where it’s due, Bulma certainly had quite some tastes in friends and spending some time with Krillin was sure to be more fun thst what she usually did in Section 9 on a regular basis. And seriously, how did a little guy like this pack such a dick on him, he was like a sexual wmd!!!

A woman has needs

Rio Morales didn't think of herself as a woman who ever wanted or needed much in life, even if others often told her she deserved much more. After all she was a widow and single mom who was still in the prime and peak of her life with needs that needed tending to but her work hours alone she felt just made it impossible to ever feel like she could have much of a social life . Granted, she still did have her little guilty pleasures every now and then particularly her little late night habit; selecting a skinflick to jill off to, nothing helped a lady sleep better than a nice little personal session with some wet dream material. And some of Double Z studios' output had been stellar more than usual, just thinking of the sex scenes from World's Mightiest still made her shudder, who knew Don Juan Sanchez could also be a capable writer and director?

Which did remind her of her little recent trend in her fantasies late at night, thinking of that stud who made so many furry women writhe in ecstasy and wondering what it'd be like to have every inch of that bitch pleasing, womb flooding slab of meat rock her world. But alas, such was the case between fantasy and reality and the latter was simply how it was and right now, work was calling her back down to Earth. Yet fate it seemed, wasn't without her peculiar sense of humour as she found herself handling a session of conducting physical check-ups for a few of the guys and gals from Double Z itself, was this some sort of sign? Though Rio had to keep away any thoughts of temptation and focus on doing her work, after all, life wasn't a porno even if some of the friendly flirting from a few of the quite sexy anthro girls was a scandalous fun boost to her self esteem and some of the guys were cheeky and playful, showing off and posing in their skivvies.

So far, so good and unsurprisingly, they all pretty much passed (No surprise those guys and gals kept in great shape and health when it came to their line of work) though when it came to her last check up, she had to wonder if she was imagining things because for some reason because her last Double Z guy to look over....was a HUMAN?!! Yet after some brief confusion, it was cleared up that indeed, the guy, Krillin he said was his name, explained that what was spoken between them never left the examination office as she learned that not only was he one of Zigzag's performers...he was frickin' Don Juan Sanchez himself!! To say Rio was surprised would be putting it mildy, amazing what a set of shades, a beard and a temporary tattoo could do for a man....a quite fine physical specimen of a man, she had to say. Now at this point, you can probably gather this would be around when Rio's pent up libido, thirsty from a very long dry spell, on top of being in the presence of her favourite porn star, would up and kick her self control aside and tell her jump the man and have him bone her......and you'd be right!!

Now of course leave it to Krillin to never leave a woman wanting or waiting as he obliged Rio's kinky desires in wanting to live out her own personal porno fantasy and besides which? He found himself to be quite into dusky, dark skinned women like her as much as he was into blondes like his wife, he wasn't sure the how or why of it but one thing was certain. And it was that Rio was looking oh so fine and sexy as fuck, her face rocking expressions of ecstasy as she was held by him in the throes of passion, her exotic complexion glistening with sweat as he had her on the bed in a mating press. Lips pressed to hers as they fucked deep and hard with wanton abandon, Rio's spicy Latino booty cheeks clapping and jiggling with every impact of that jackhammering cock sinking balls deep into her snatch's heated, sloppy embrace.....

She was truly quite the sight to behold, pure sensual poetry in motion and it was pretty clear she was relishing his attention on her as much as the pleasure he was giving her. But how could he not give it his all when it came to taking a woman to the peak of sexual ecstasy over and over again especially when that juicy ass felt so amazing in the palm of his hands or the feel and sight of those dusky, perky tits as they bounced away? Far as Krillin knew, if Rio was still single then that was just a crime because any man that wasn't giving her the time of day was clearly a fool, to say nothing of leaving her carnal needs unattended to. Might've been his wife's bad influence talking but damnit, she was right, it was his natural goal in life to make women like Rio feel like goddamn goddesses in bed much as he did her, as he continued to rock her world and make her sweat!!

Speaking of the aforementioned wife, 18 happened to be standing outside the door to Krillin's hospotal room, peeking through and looking on at the spicy nurse indulging in her personal fantasy with the blonde's husband. And loving every single moment with voyeuristic ecstasy to find her man's natural charm and sexual charisma scored him another stunner, just something about dusky skinned women like Rio getting a good dicking from Krillin was such a turn-on. The blonde unable to help herself as she snuck in and closed the door behind her, sneaking her way up on Rio who had her eyes closed as she reading Krillin in the reverse cowgirl as he he,d her lovely hips and had his eyes glued to her shapely backside. Leaving them bother if the cyborg asskicker’s presence until she suddenly ambushed Rio with a kiss, catching the nurse off guard as she found her her spontaneous fun with Don Juan was now becoming an equally spontaneous threesome….and she certainly didn’t mind at all!!

It was quite a marathon today the least, if anything Rio knew it was a miracle she was somehow still conscious and walking, not to mention that they didn’t get caught. Not that she was complaining kind you because that had been fuckdamn amazing and she wasn’t a lesbian but damn if 18 wasn’t a hot sexy 10 out of 10 stunner who seemed very eager to ensure the nurse didn’t stop herself at just this one time. After all as far as the blond was concerned, once a woman like Rio had a taste of Krillin, enough was never enough and with ehr son out to college and all….her biological,clock was still ticking. And what harm would there be in keeping in touch on a regular intimate basis after Krillin was discharged from the hospital?

Suffice to say, the blonde and her compact stud husband had a new lady friend on their contacts list and Rio found herself feeling like quite a whole new woman. So much so that she found herself sending spicy texts and saucy pictures to them every now and then and ooh yes indeed, the sex when it happened was every bit as good as the first time. To say nothing of when she found out she wasn’t the only woman in in this little secret club 18 has going on as well as her personal pet project. The like of which involved sowing wild oats and putting a few buns in ovens…..

~~~~~~~~~~

Stellar Modifications!!

Whenever they weren't tending to their master Krillin's carnal needs, 2B and 2P often found themselves either helping out on quality control for the Warrior Monks or often doing odd jobs for Bulma such as if she needed them to do her the task of locating and acquiring the dragonballs. Should they ever find something of particular interest for the Capsule Corp CEO of course, it was always priority to bring it to her attention and in this case, this little discovery was likely something...or rather someone they were sure would do well in service to the Glory of Mankind (translation:Code for giving their master Krillin immense sexual pleasure and relief). Bulma could certainly concur as she beheld what they had brought before her, a massive containment pod and floating within, a woman of stunning sensual beauty. This certainly required some looking into and fortunately the pod had an on board computer which contained a fine treasure trove of data about this enigmatic young lady.

Her name apparently was Eve and in addition to being quite the looker, what Bulma was finding information wise showed she was quit the capable combatant. But to the Capsule Corp CEO, that was a small bonus that’d make her very effective as a bodyguard because the intel showed that Eva was a certain special sort of lady, much like the Yorha twins and 18…..so oooooh did the gears begin to turn in Bulma’s head as she knew just what she was going to do with Eve as she turned to 2B and 2P and instruct them to call the blonde cyborg. She knew she was going to want to hear about the latest special sexy surprise for Krillin and ooh were these nano suits going to get themselves some mileage.

Eve herself wasn't sure what to make of her surroundings as she came to, let alone the sudden increase on data she found her memory banks storing, after all since when had she ever acquired, let alone needed a copy of the kama sutra? And from the size of bites in some of these folders, there was enough pornography to make an image gallery on Google without the safesearch seem tame and hat was this one marked Krillin for in terms of purpose? Nevermind why just thinking of that name made her feel so...tingly, as she looked around to find herself in some sort of lacy lingerie and what seemed to b a love hotel with the only company present being...the man himself, who upon setting her sights on, suddenly made some sort of programming kick in. One moment she was briefly dazed and confused, the next minute she was pouncing Krillin, kissing him with the force of a man who'd been dying of thirst having finally found himself an oasis to drown in........

Naturally doubt and hesitation became the furthest thing from Krillin's mind as libido took the helm and made him go along with the sudden momentum of passion and desire, returning Eve's lusty kiss. He wasn't sure what Bulma had in store for him or rather who when she'd invited him to what he knew for sure was her latest round of fun in what was known as her Krillin playroom but he couldn't really complain given the sort of women it had him getting erotically acquainted with. Which was why the room was soon filled with Eve's moans of raw passion and ecstasy, deep gasps and moans escaping her lovely lips as she and the short king danced the age old primal dance of man and woman together since the dawn of time. Held in his embrace as they fucked in a seated lotus position, unable to help herself from making her glorious hips buck and ride that pistoning cock while they made out with the hormonal lust and drive of horny teenagers....

As always, Bulm was watching on like the deviant voyeur she was from the two way mirror hidden observation room, more than pleased with the results in reprogramming Eve's code. After all, it was only right to help nature run along on its course in arranging a new robo girl (cyborgs, androids, robots...if they were digital in some form, chances were they'd be drawn to Krillin like a magnet, he just had a way with those sort of women!!) and it was working out even better than expected. She'd have to remember to give 2B and 2P a proper reward for discovering this work of art of a gynoid but at the least, their current quality time with some Warrior Monks would suffice in scratching their itches for their love of the embodiment of the glory of mankind. Besides which this was Eve's turn and oooh her combat ready body was really handling itself quite well with the onslaught of pleasure brought about by Krillin's sexual prowess......

Which was understating it, quite frankly, given Eva had a wealth of combat experience and yet that paled in comparison to the intense passion and lust she found herself with in the throes of passion. Relishing the attention and actions of the short king as he couldn’t help help but keep feeling up thst glorious juicy ass of hers, her twin meat buns sporting distinct palm marks indicating his staked claim on the gynoid bombshell. Every postion a shift and instance of being pinned beneath him, held up in the air or up and down against the floors or walls amidst a constant rush of orgasms a welcome surge of ectasy flooding her mind. Not wanting this to cease yet knowing there was only so much she could endure before she passed out…and yet rather hoping he’d keep using her as he saw fit even while he fucked her into a sexual coma because that’d be sexy as fuck…

Now while Bulma would normally be shamelessly playing with herself to get off to seeing Krillin once again be an absolute stud but in this case, she was keeping herself very busy in a different way. Mainly looking to the data she’d acquired from Eve’s pod as there was a treasure trove of data especially for Something that really caught her eye. That being the series of sister units in Eve’s line of gynoids, all scattered throughout and every one of them quite the looker, all prime breeding stock material for a few chestnut buns in the oven. That is if these gals were capable of getting pregnant of course but nothing a little quality modification and upgrading from Capsule Corp couldn’t figure out and solve…..

But of course first thing’s first would be making sure they’d actually work which was where Eve came in as the Guinea pig but that’d be after she’d finished getting used to being a sexual partner for Krillin. After all, learn to crawl before you wake and walk before you run so before Eve could get to making babies, she needed to be able to handle the baby daddy with full sexual force. And there was no doubt Eve was going to enjoy every single moment of that if that ahegao loaded face she was sporting was anything to go by. Who said sex couldn't be both a science and an art?

~~~~~~~~~~

In this dojo, there is one true art....

Maryl Baroque was quite the woman to say the least, if anything within the world of martial arts, she was a more than human but less than a god. Those who witnessed her in action say it was like she could boost her strength, speed and all else the longer a fight went on as well as the fact she was considered something of a sadist. Which might be why she was more or less banned from ever participating in the World Martial Arts Tournament though her choice of combat attire might've also had to do with that decision. But hey can't deny it's hard not to admire a well sculpted and toned amazon of a woman rock a sexy little number that left her backside entirely exposed and made it more than clear she went commando.

Now if one thing could be made clear about Maryl, much as she loved to break her opponents with a clear and present violent streak that was as subtle as a sledgehammer smashing a cinder block, she certainly lived for and welcomed a challenge. So when she saw a flyer advertising a womens' class for the Turtle school in Satan City, the feisty fighter knew she'd be in for some fun...especially and particularly if the hotshot running this dojo was a man because that'd make it even more fun for her. Imagine her amusement and surprise when she arrived to find this so called dojo was a damn little home fit only for a small family, greeted by some cheeky, uppity blonde bitch who introduced the guy that owned and operated it. And he turned out to be a total runt baldy to boot, it was like the punchline of a very bad joke!!

But Maryl figured she was here and why not especially when that same blonde bitch had the audacity to challenge her and dare her to fight the shorty!! And claimed that when (not if, talk about fucking cheeky!!) her husband defeated her, then Maryl would have to submit like a good little bitch and let them do whatever they wanted with her. Now if she wasn’t so proud and temperamental, she’d have known as she was pushing her luck and maybe getting in over her head but like hell she’d just back down and walk away!! Oh she coild jsut see it now, she’d turn this guy into a goddamn human pretzel when it was all said and done…

At least that'd been the plan but the moment that damn blonde called out for them to start, the next thing Maryl knew, she was in the couple's bedroom, face down, front flat and her quite well toned yet voluptuously bubbly ass up in the air and getting railed deep, fast and hard like a bitch in heat by the damn baldy!! And heaven help her, she was loving each and every goddamn second of it as her nerves were ablaze with mind numbing pleasure coursing through her veins like a surging tidal wave. Panting and barking like the horny little bitch in heat she now was reduced to, grasping the bedsheets as she rode the intense forces of that powerful, pumping and thrusting pelvis from her compact Adonis of an alpha male as he sunk every inch of his cock balls deep to ensure the walls of her pussy would be molded to the shape of his length and girth!! Every orgasm he'd coaxed out of her just fuel for the fire of lust burning within them both as he relished that gloriously sculpted backside flexing and tensining those exquisite muscles all the while that juicy ass clapped its bubbly cheeks like the rhythm of a lewd drum!!

18, the aforementioned uppity blonde of course, was taking delight and satisfaction in equal measure as she stood a few feet away from the bed and witnessing Maryl's full sexual force based dominatrion by her husband. As shameless and lewd a voyeur as ever with how she blatantly played with herself in getting off to this with the added flavour of well earned smugness knowing this was the natural result of the fighting tomboy's own hubris. If ever a pretty, hot sexy piece of ass ever came their way in regards to their unofficial dojo, it was 5050 that it'd be some hotshot like Maryl or a pretty sexy little gifted bruiser who couldn't help but be drawn to the cybernetic hottie's short king husband like a fly to sugar or ants at a picnic. And in the case of the former, it was a priceless moment to see them reap what they sow as their pride shattered and crumbled before the intense passion only her man could give them combined with the mind numbing sensation of his glorified third leg of a cock ensuring they'd never want or even think of another man!!

Maryl was certainly experiencing that lesson first hand and she was loving every single damn second of it, pink hearts shamelessly glowing in her eyes as she rocked shameless ahegao expressions one would normally know for sure was out of character for her. But she couldn’t care less as she stuck out her tongue and barked like the good little bitch in heat she was for her new alpha male, proclaiming herself his slutty princess and hhim her new sex god and daddy. Urging him on to keep going until eben just saying his name would make her spread her legs for him and she was sure to end up having more than a few buns in the oven when it was all said and done. The barefisted warrior woman stuck somewhere between conscious and comatose as she experienced her latest but certainly not last in the least orgasm….

When it was all said and done, Maryl was pretty much a sexy little domesticated puppy whenever she was around her new Daddy and of course Marron was always happy to have a new big sister/auntie figure around. Especially once 18 introduced the brawler to her new home...an apartment building just around the block from where the family lived that just so happened to be owned by Capsule Corp CEO Bulma Briefs. And many of her neighbours and her roommates all happened to be women as well who wouldn't you know it, also happened to be close, intimate and casual sexual acquaintances of her short king. Suffice to say, she found herself in some very good company.....

Satan City residents you'd think would be used to strange sights like their local hero and champion's friend Mr.Buu but life always had a surprise for them. Case in point Marly in what seemed to be a turtle school gi, albeit modelled after her own style of fashion (backside baring and clearly hinting she was commando) along with a small crowd of girls in similar wear. All parading signs and handing out flyers to a lot of female onlookers and passers by which advertised and offered lessons at their dojo and to highly recommend personal training with their sensei. She and her fellow recruits each motivated by 18's promise of course that if they netted some some real potential lookers, Grandmaster Daddy short king would give them a very special reward...the kind that involved a lot of bareback, bed shaking, world rocking, spine tingling, mind numbing ecstasy.....

A Little Chemistry

Somedays if Maxi could turn back time to the day she met Chloe Sinclaire, she had to wonder if she'd change her mind or still accept that job offer. On the one hand she had generous funding and a vast wealth of access to numerous resources which made for great strides in her work but on the other? Well Chloe did warn her that it was all about keeping such projects from falling into the wrong hands....and hers were those very same wrong hands. But of course Chloe wasn't some total megalomaniacal Bond villain with plans of absolute global conquest...she was just one very kinky skunk whose libido could make a succubus blush.

What else could you say about a woman who used an ultra sonic cannon as a glorified vibrator? Or the numerous other incidents and moments wherein the bimbo-eseque gal used R&D as her own personal playpen, helping herself to trying out all manner of whatever Maxi and the other eggheads had cooked up, one too many to even sum up in a small enough list?!! Yet all the same, it couldn't be denied that she always went out her way to take care of and look out for those under her employ given how she gave Maxi her own entire lab and facility to work in with a seemingly limitless budget.....aaaaaand the occasional little spicy treat as the feline brainiac blushed and shuddered recalling that little monastery trip. So at some point Maxi had to wonder if she'd figured out and gotten used to Chloe's whims to a point where nothing ever really surprised her anymore......

But of course she should've known she was tempting fate because leave it to that nympho skunk to get her roped into getting intimately acquainted with that rando VIP who'd been staying around as Chloe's guest of honor. Oooh Maxi was all too aware just how busy and frisky Mr.Sanchez had been getting with some of her work colleagues, given her boss lady had so "generously" shared videos and photos of his fun times with herself, Friday and Persephone, every single little juicy detail and angle clear and present. And her hints if you can call them that which had been coming one after another like the texts, e-mails and random photos left around showing off the guy's package!! (Seriously, how did a guy so compact pack something that would make a bull or a stallion feel like eunuchs?!!) Try as she might to deny Chloe's whims of course, she resisted the admittedly growing temptation....but knew it was only a matter of time before Ms.Sinclaire got her way, sooner rather later......

She should've known better, really, that one way or another, Chloe would see to it that she'd be getting, as she so eloquently put it, "A little chestnut lovin'" but the question wasn't a matter of if but rather when and how and most certainly sooner rather than later. Soon certainly was the case when Maxi had found herself being called into Chloe's personal relaxation spa to want to talk business with her but that should've been the first red flag if only because it was a natural whim of her employer to hold even the most confidential discussions in the most unlikely places. Which was why when she entered, you can imagine her shock and awe to have walked right in on Krillin right as he was sitting on the edge of the luxury whirlpool hot tub getting a handjob from Friday while the zebra was making out with him, both of them naked as the day they were born. Which meant Maxi got herself a nice eyeful view of that length and girth in all its rigid, erect and down to fuck glory, such was the case that her libido pretty much hijacked control of her brain, kicking aside logic, rationale and reason to the curb and making her want, no NEED that cock, asap!!

Small wonder Maxi had cast aside any doubts or hesitation she had prior to her current situation of now being in the embrace of the short king as he had his hands on her perky, furry ass. Her tail swaying sensually while her well toned hips bucked and rode on that piston pumping cock, which was quite tight but of course she wasn't a virgin by any means mind you. It's just that she'd never taken a guy as big as him, it defied all logic that someone his size would be so well endowed by screw logic all the same!! She was feeling damn good and she wanted it to stay that way, so lost in the intoxication of primal lust that she'd forgotten Friday was there, watching on with sensual bemusement at seeing their cute kitten of an R&D head having given into temptation.....

That was until after a few rounds of orgasms and a position shift or two, Maxi was reminded of the zebra's presence soon as Friday ambushed her with a sudden, but certainly not unwelcome, kiss on the lips while she was the midst of riding Krillin reverse cowgirl style. The compact ex-monk's hands firmly massaging her perky ass while the striped mare Frenched her and groped her equally fine, sexy little tits as their tongues danced together in a little game of spitswap and tonsil hockey. Goes to show that small wonder Chloe seemed to have likeminded sorts about her when it came to casual sexual intimacy among co-workers not that Maxi was complaining but of course how could she when she was getting a nice, deep hard fucking? The pretty kitty unable to resist the momentum of lust and passion which had swept her up like a chemical reaction as part of her was so glad that for someone who'd been a monk once, Krillin had never taken any vows of celibacy or chastity....

While Maxi was getting herself a little Chesnut loving and some oreo tlc from Krillin and Friday of course, naturally her currently horny on main brain was too aroused to remember that Chloe was able to see all this happening thanks to the security cameras. Which of course were transmitting each and every spicy, juicy minute and second of Krillin's latest VIP employee relations with the pretty kitty R&D head in ideal HD on the skunk babe's desktop screen and oooh yes, you can bet she was enjoying every bit of it. To say nothing of the further wicked ideas cooking in the gears turning in her head like the little arrangments she was looking to make with 18 after the family's stay on her island had passed. Oooh it'd been quite a while since Chloe to to play being someone's Sugar Mama.....

To say nothing of the fun to be had getting herself a slice of the action in Zigzag's studio, especially given she herself owned some stock in it. She could just feel her spine tingling with anticipation at being featured in a Don Juan Sanchez flick, especially if it was one of the ones he wrote and directed, World's Mightiest was such a delight (A pity people just didn't get the how and why on Kochin being a metaphor). Which did remind her, she needed to run a check on her dvd and bluray library and see which ones were missing or needed to be added, Double Z Don Juan Sanchez features really sold like hotcakes. You'd be amazed how much auction sites sold for hard to come by copies of the Auntie Vixen comeback collection....

Archduke Ferdinand II (1529-1595), Knee Piece in Eagle Armor

Artist: Francesco Terzio (Italian, 1523-1591)

Date: c. 1550

Medium: Oil painting

Collection: Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, Austria

Description

The knee-length portrait shows Archduke Ferdinand II in the so-called ‘Eagle Garniture’, one of the most expensive ensembles of plate-armour made during that period. Ferdinand is depicted at the height of his regency in Bohemia. He wears his trademark ‘Bohemian hat’, a head-covering made of felt and silver wire. On the table beside him lie a mantled helmet with a red plume, a gauntlet and a red sash. These military accoutrements probably allude to Ferdinand’s military command in Hungary against the Ottoman army in 1556, where he was responsible for the organisation of supplies of food and munitions for the royal fortress of Szigetvár.

When Archduke Ferdinand II was appointed regent of Bohemia in 1547, his exceptional position as supreme representative of the House of Austria demanded a display of magnificence at court. This also included operating an armoury, which produced not only military equipment but also suits of plate-armour and accoutrements for courtly tournaments. Armourers who worked for Ferdinand included the Nuremberg-born Wolf Keser (also Kheser), Melchior Pfeiffer and Wolfgang Kaiser. One Francesco Ligozzi (also Ligotza) is also mentioned as a ‘harnischmaister’ (master harnesser).

The Court Armoury was kept very busy supplying equipment for the numerous tournaments that Ferdinand hosted, notably those in 1556, 1559 and 1560. New suits of armour were also made for the Hungarian campaign of 1556. The Prague harnesses are typified by their elegant lines, compact, rounded shape and high waist. Other remarkable features include the burgonets made in two pieces, a striking motif of scales on the gorgets with powerful corded edges and the lames (overlapping plates) of the pauldrons (shoulder-guards) divided into two sections.

Can I put LED bulbs in my headlights?

Yes, you can install LED bulbs in your headlights, but compatibility, compliance, and proper installation are key factors to consider. Here are the details you need to know:

1. Compatibility with your headlight type

Projector vs. reflector headlights:

LED bulbs work best in projector headlights, which have a focused beam pattern and a lens system that aligns with the LED light distribution. For reflector headlights (common on older vehicles), LED bulbs may scatter light too much, causing glare to other drivers, and not meet safety standards.

Important: Check to see if your headlight assembly is designed for LEDs or if it requires a retrofit.

2. Legal and Safety Considerations

DOT/FMVSS Compliance:

In the United States, LED bulbs must comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 to ensure proper beam alignment and brightness. Non-compliant aftermarket kits, such as some sold online, may be illegal and fail safety inspections.

State regulations:

Some states restrict the color temperature (e.g., blue light) and brightness of LEDs. For example, California prohibits headlights over 3,000 lumens unless certified.

Global standards:

In regions such as the European Union and China, retrofits require approval from the Department of Transportation to ensure compliance with local laws.

3. Technical requirements

Correct beam pattern:

LED bulbs must replicate the beam pattern of the original halogen or HID bulb to avoid dazzling oncoming vehicles. Look for bulbs marked "DOT certified" or "SAE certified."

Thermal management:

LEDs generate less heat than halogens, but still require a heat sink or cooling fan to prevent overheating. Poor thermal design can shorten the life of the bulb.

Electrical compatibility:

Some vehicles require a CANbus decoder or upgraded wiring harness to prevent the dashboard from flickering or displaying error messages.

4. Installation Challenges

DIY Installation vs. Professional Installation:

While there are DIY installation kits (such as the Hyundai Elantra Rail), improper installation may cause misaligned beams or damage the electrical system. For complex setups, professional installation is recommended.

Alignment Adjustment:

After installation, use a headlight aiming tool to ensure the beam is properly aligned. Misaligned LED lights may not pass inspection and reduce visibility and glare.

5. Advantages of LED Light Retrofit

Brightness and Visibility:

LED lights provide up to 6,000 lumens of brightness, significantly improving nighttime visibility compared to halogen bulbs (about 1,500 lumens).

Energy Saving:

LED lights use less electricity, which reduces the burden on the vehicle's electrical system and improves fuel efficiency.

Lifespan:

High-quality LEDs can last up to 50,000 hours, outperforming halogens (500-1,000 hours) and HID bulbs (2,000-3,000 hours).

6. Risks and Disadvantages

Glare Issues:

Poorly designed LEDs in reflector housings can create dangerous glare.

Warranty Void:

Splicing wires or using non-genuine parts may void your vehicle warranty.

Cost:

Premium LED kits (e.g., SNGL or Philips) can cost $100-300, while budget-friendly kits may lack durability or compliance.

Key Recommendations

Verify Compatibility: Confirm your headlamp type (projector/reflector) and bulb size (e.g., H11, 9005).

Choose certified bulbs: Choose DOT/SAE certified LED bulbs from a reputable brand like Philips or SNGL.

Consult a professional: For complex installations or legal questions, consult a certified mechanic or lighting expert.

By addressing these factors, you can safely and legally upgrade to LED headlights while improving your driving experience.

Campfire Darkness

In partnership with @jaxsthugs

Chapter 5: Rising Ruthlessness

The construction site had become Camp's kingdom, a place where he ruled with an iron fist and electric fury. The workers moved with a fearful reverence, their eyes darting nervously as Camp strode through the site, crackling with raw energy. His transformation was complete, and his power was undeniable.

Camp stood in the middle of the site, bare-chested and rippling with muscle. He had grown thicker, more powerful, every fiber of his being infused with raw energy. His eyes glowed with an intense blue light, and electric arcs danced around his helmet. He flexed his arms, feeling the surge of power that made him more than human. There was a twisted pride in his newfound size, the extra muscle and weight a testament to his dominance.

He had begun to construct advanced electrical weapons, devices that harnessed the energy coursing through him. Makeshift laboratories and workshops had sprung up on the site, filled with tools, wires, and metallic components. The workers, whether willing or not, were forced to assist him in his endeavors.

“Get that over here,” Camp barked at one of the men, pointing to a heavy piece of machinery. The worker, trembling, obeyed without question. Camp’s patience for incompetence had worn thin, and he had no tolerance for disobedience.

The flagpole, now adorned with his metallic American flag enrobed in silver leaf, stood as a testament to his power. It shimmered in the daylight, a stark contrast to the grime and dirt of the site. Camp had made it clear that this flag was the new symbol of authority—his authority.

“Listen up!” Camp's voice boomed across the site, drawing the attention of every worker. “This flag represents the new order. You follow my rules, or you suffer the consequences.”

He raised his hand, and a bolt of electricity shot from his fingertips, striking a piece of metal and sending sparks flying. The workers recoiled in fear, their expressions a mix of awe and terror.

A group of men who had shown signs of resistance were brought before him. They stood, defiant but scared, as Camp approached them. “You think you can challenge me?” he growled, his voice low and menacing.

One of the men, a burly worker named Mike, stepped forward. “We don’t want trouble, Camp. We just want to do our jobs.”

Camp’s eyes narrowed, and he pointed to a nearby generator. The machine roared to life, electric arcs dancing across its surface. With a flick of his wrist, Camp sent the generator hurtling towards Mike. The worker's eyes widened in horror as the machine bore down on him, shredding him into the engine. The sound of grinding metal and screams filled the air, and then there was silence.

“This is what happens to those who defy me,” Camp declared, turning to the rest of the workers. “You will submit, or you will be destroyed.”

The message was clear. The men fell in line, their resistance shattered by the display of Camp’s ruthless power. He had no need for their loyalty—only their obedience.

As the days passed, Camp’s influence grew. More and more men on the site began to embrace his new electrical patriotism, their fear of him morphing into a twisted form of respect. They worked tirelessly to build his advanced weapons and fortify his dominion.

Inside his ruthlessness was an electrical crackling love that he knew no one else could feel but him. This elemental love surged through his veins, a powerful force that fueled his every action. He must have all of it, this intense, electrifying love that no one else could understand. It was his alone, and he would not share it with anyone.

Camp stood before his metallic flag, a sense of dark pride swelling within him. He had taken what was rightfully his, and he had done it through sheer force of will. The city would soon feel his influence, one block at a time.

He was no longer just a man. He was a force of nature, an embodiment of power and domination. And he would stop at nothing to see his vision realized. The world would bow to Camp, or it would burn under his electric wrath.

With every passing day, his ruthlessness deepened. There was no room for weakness, no room for dissent. He would forge a new order, one where power was the only law and submission the only path to survival.

The city had better be ready. Camp was coming, and he was bringing a storm of fury and power that nothing could withstand.
