Diaperbound - A Padded Adventure Through the Stars (Private)

[Silvertip]

Earth is no more. All that remained of the birthplace of Humanity was a second asteroid belt. The destroyer of Earth was not another planet or other cosmic event; it was a grotesque tentacled beast known only as the Ruin.

But Humanity survived. In the five centuries since the Terrene Protectorate was formed, Humans have spread throughout the cosmos, meeting other species. Sometimes these meetings were violent, but most of the time they were peaceful. But the threat of the Ruin was still out there.

And so, a brave soul armed with the six Ancient Artifacts of the Cultivator, summoned this divine being back into the Universe, forever sealing away the Ruin.

This is not the story of that brave hero. Instead, this is the story of Xiptoltic, a Grounded Avian and his crew of fortune seekers and treasure hunters.

[CalmlyEccentric]

An Avali, which was basically one of the lesser known species of the system, was part of this crew. They typically went by the name of "Anara" And was a ship mechanic that was also female. She was mainly colored tan, but she had gray feathers and some simple orange accents. A really earthy kind of look.

A lot of the time, she would be on the ship, either relaxing in her own room, making sure things worked, and making sure other things weren't broken so other things didn't break. On occasion, she would get creative, wanting to make something, that typically blew up in her face though, but nothing too bad, really.

What really stuck out about Anara was how addicted she could be to her work, and how she adapted to that. She pretty much seen working more often than not, but that's when people are looking. Also when they were looking is that she was wearing padding. Yes, she typically would be seen wearing a diaper, and that was because she was kind of... Strange. It was like she had no practically dignity and had a tendency to over work herself, which could easily be masked by her somewhat eccentric and naive personality. While she was not open about it, it was there nonetheless underneath that jumpsuit she wore that was a combination of flexible material and some plating, making the area around her waist somewhat more puffy. She literally wore it because she'd give herself no bathroom breaks as a result of being so engrossed in her work. Either she wouldn't be able to make it or she'd literally wind up falling asleep at the worst time, given its purpose.

Anara had come onto this team not for the sake of treasure, but because she saw potential for her to do what she'd like most, and that was tinkering. That, and it beat living on a planet, completely and utterly clueless on how to do things. Unsurprisingly, that is what she was doing now, working on a display in a lounge area on the ship. She was listening to music on a little devices, and she was even working and dancing a bit to the tune of it. Obviously, she was enjoying herself.

(Figured it would be best to just paste things over rather than thinking up of something new.)

Xiptoltic was seated at the bridge. The ship was currently orbiting above a desert planet. S.A.I.L had previously indicated that there was some evidence of an active Kluex temple there. The Avian cooed softly in thought as he decided to beam down, build a crude settlement/camp and maybe pillage the temple. It would have sounded ludicrous to many other Avians; one of their own defiling Kluex's sacred sites?

In truth, Xiptoltic had no love for the Stargazers. Sure, their tomb furnishings and other treasures fetched a fair number of pixels but it barely made up for the fact that the Stargazers*hated*the Grounded and tried to have them killed whenever they saw them.

Regardless, he had made up his mind.

He headed out to the lounge area of the ship and looked over his crew. There was Vix -- a Human female who was built like an Apex -- Anara, the Avali engineer.

Of course, he knew about Anara's modifications to the teleporter that allowed them to teleport even from deep under a planet's crust...at some costs.

"Questioning. Captain, are we beaming down to Ketharaeis IV?"

The query was from Overclock, a Glitch who had came aboard the ship and served as one of its mechanics.

"Yes, we are."

"Delighted." Overclock got his sword and rifle ready. "I shall be awaiting by the teleporter."*

"Anara!" Xiptoltic called. "We're heading planetside soon!"

(OOC - Yeah. It's easier to transfer over posts instead.)

[CalmlyEccentric]

Anara was still working on that display, but calling her name typically got her attention, regardless of the head phones. It did kind of scare her a bit as she wasn't exactly to used to suddenly being called, but she was adapting. Anyway, plugging her ear buds out and simply seeing Overclock getting prepped and such, she would get a clue on what was about to happen.

"Alright, I'll go get ready!" She would call back before no doubt getting what she considered to be the necessary equipment. Specifically a pack she carried that often contained her little gadgets and gizmos and a visor that gave her a bit of a heads up display. Really good for those dark places.

Not needing much, else, she would only pick up a simple gun a shield before heading over to wait by that teleporter with Overclock... Except she had to do a quick check before she embarrassed herself or something. So she did just that, feeling around her waist. Feeling nothing, she would simply smile to herself and get going

Xiptoltic went to his quarters and locked the door before he opened a small pod chest containing possibly the most embarrassing item aboard the ship.

A partially opened package of diapers. Wearing something that was associated with Avian chicks was embarrassing enough but the Venazau, the Floran quartermaster, had to get one with an overtly childish feather design (just*where*did he find this anyways?). Even worse was the feathers on the crotch of the diaper would fade when wet.

Blushing so furiously that it could be seen through his light blue plumage, he used the toilet and then hastily powdered and diapered himself, taking care to ensure everything was done correctly and any incriminating evidence carefully put back in the pod chest.

The Avian then put his uniform back on and grabbed a Graxus Nebulacrasher from the weapon rack. The shotgun was unique in that it fired explosive energy bullets instead of metal slugs

Xiptoltic then strode into the teleporter room where Overclock and Anara were waiting.

It was then Venazau poked his head up from a metal crate. "Iss crew liking new toilet pantss I got?" Toilet pants being his term for diapers.

Xiptoltic very pointedly ignored the question...though he had to admit, the diapers were quite comfortable.

[CalmlyEccentric]

Anara looked to the others a few times, wondering about something obviously. Eventually, she decided to speak as it didn't seem like anyone else was hopping to similar thinking here.

"So... You guys want me to teleport us down into the temple," And take the risk of their dignity burning, "Or would you prefer to not... Deal with the extra um... "Work?"" She asked, looking between everyone. Surely at this point, everyone should have known the issues the extra range caused. While Arana was used to it, she was pretty unsure about the others.

[Silvertip]

Xiptoltic rubbed the back of his neck. "Well, why don't we start off with something simple like a beam down to the surface. After all, there's less things to go wrong like getting teleported into a wall or inside a rock."

"Agreeing. Perhaps we should set up a base camp first? After all, I do have a colony deed," Overclock said.

The Avian nodded as he took his place by the teleporter. "All right, stand by for teleportation!"

"Make ssure you get meatss for Floran!" Venazau said as he continued checking their supplies.

[CalmlyEccentric]

(And now I change things!)

Anara, who was currently already nearby the teleporter, said to Xiptoltic, "You don't have to worry about us ever being teleported into a rock, you know. They can't even do that because any solid surfaces block the designated point you would appear in."

However, Anara was still well aware of another issue that she wish never existed, and that was the fact that this darn teleporter would make her have an accident every time... Just thinking about it made her blush. Despite her having come to this crew already padded, she still wasn't fond about soiling herself in front of multiple people.

[Silvertip]

"Well, let's try something simple first," Xiptoltic said. "We're going to teleport to a safe spot planetside and then we'll hit the temple."

"Obliging. Sounds like a plan." Overclock got his rifle and wrench ready.

The Avian captain nodded and hit the teleport button. Immediately, the three vanished in a flash of light.

-------------

Ketharaeis IV was a deceptively beautiful desert planet of windswept dunes and scrublands. Its only vegetatiob were cacti and scrubby plants that could survive the harsh landscape.

A flash of light was visible as the three appeared inside the dark, cool environs of what looked to be an old house.

Xiptoltic staggered slightly and felt his bladder spasm a bit. Had he not used the bathroom beforehand, he would have most certainly ended up wetting his diaper.

"What. Confused. Happened my voice to?" Overclock asked.

The Avian captain looked over at the Avali engineer and then at the Glitch, who seemed to have some trouble trying to form a coherent sentence. "Anara," he said. "I think you gave some problems to work out."

[CalmlyEccentric]

Anara gave a nod just before they were teleported from the ship to the surface. For a short moment, she had debated whether she had used the bathroom or not before hand. She was pretty sure she did, so she wasn't too worried. Well, until she felt her bowels churn quite a bit as they stood there on the surface of the desert planet while the light of their transport faded.

Trembling lightly, she looked to Xiptoltic and gave a bit of a nervous smile and nod. "Uh... Yeah, I'll be sure to look into it a little more. Don't want to um... Fry you or anything." She said as she sort of gripped the traps of her pack a little lightly while her tail could be seen bending up a little bit. No doubt she was about to have an accident.

Poor judgement.
