The cat girl turned to face Triska then held out a finger to her chest. The cambion watched as the monster drew her finger around in a star pattern then tapped it once with a single meow. Triska glanced to the jinx then back to her chest while trying to understand the girl’s message. Again the cat repeated the same pattern on her chest and meowed with a tap on it. Triska remained silent for a moment before a curious smile came across her face.
“Star?” she asked, getting two nods and mews from the jinx. “Your name is Star.”
Star hopped with a happy squeal while her tails swayed around together behind her.
“It’s nice to meet you, Star. Do you think we could become friends?”
Star cocked her head to the side with a curious mew as Triska carefully scooted closer to her.
“You seem like a nice girl to me. What do you say? Do you think we could get along together?”
The jinx blinked then quickly lunged forward and hugged Triska with her head against the girl’s stomach, nuzzling against her with excited meows. The cat’s tails flailed about in the air while Triska laughed at seeing the monster holding onto her in a frisky manner.
“I’ll take that as a yes. My my, you really are playful aren’t you?” She then noticed the other girls staring at Star in silence with concerned looks as the jinx had her rear perked up towards them. “What’s wrong? What is it?”
The girls merely pointed to the jinx, with Triska glancing down to the girl’s skirt which was pulled up from her tails lifted above her then to the others with a blank expression.
“She’s naked under there, isn’t she?”
“Yes she is,” Kroanette confirmed.
“The carpet matches the drapes,” Falla mentioned with a raised eyebrow.
Triska rolled her eyes then lifted Star up onto her knees, the jinx smiling curiously at her with her left ear twitching slightly.
“Glad you feel that way. Would you like to meet my other friends?”
Star nodded eagerly to that as Triska held her hand and stood up.
“Triska, tell me you’re not planning on showing my master to this monster,” Kitten sharply inquired.
‘If she’s a kind girl at heart then yes. This wouldn’t be the first time Daniel’s come into contact with a new monster.’
“You heard what Alyssa and Specca were warning us about, that creature will not be stopped so easily should she take a lecherous interest in my master.”
‘Again, wouldn’t be the first time we’ve dealt with something like that.’
With a gentle tug Triska got the jinx onto her feet, the cat monster then following her towards the others with a light trot of her feet. Kroanette backed up a step along with Squeak and Doku as they kept Daniel hidden behind them, the other girls carefully glancing towards him then to the jinx as Triska led her over.
“Everyone, this is Star. She seems rather pleasant and wants to be friends.”
“FRIENDS!” Luna cheered as she instantly bolted forward and hugged Star tightly. The group stared in surprise as the butterfly girl laughed manically with the jinx in her arms. “I LOVE MAKING FRIENDS! HAHAHAHAHAHA!”
“Luna!” Falla shouted out.
Luna blinked then slowly leaned back and smiled nervously while Star just watched her with a curious look.
“Um… hi?”
“Way to make a good first impression,” Kroanette scolded the butterfly girl. “If she’s actually being tame we mustn’t frighten her or-”
Star quickly hugged Luna and lifted her off the ground, shaking her around while meowing loudly with a bright smile on her face. Everyone watched as the cat girl spun around merrily with Luna held close.
“She likes me!” Luna cheered while being swung around. “I think she really likes me!”
“Are jinxes normally this friendly?” Triska asked with a curious smile.
“I… I have no idea,” Specca slowly answered while studying the cat girl. “I only heard how they rape men, never that they’re so… playful with others.”
“She doesn’t strike me as a rapist,” Kroanette commented while Squeak and Doku peeked out from over her body at the jinx. “She seems as pleasant as Doku.”
Star swung Luna around a few more times before setting her down, the butterfly girl then stumbling about in circles with a giddy smile on her face.
“That was fun. She’s really nice.”
“Um, and that’s Luna,” Triska introduced with a small laugh.
Star hopped about on her feet mewing happily before looking to the other girls with a bright smile. Slowly Specca stepped forward, carefully approaching the jinx with one hand held to her chest and the other on her glasses. Star watched her with a single meow as the nixie came closer and examined her.
“Hello,” Specca slowly said. “My name is Specca. Nice to meet you.”
“Don’t cats like to eat fish?” Clover mentioned with a smirk.
Specca whimpered and started to tremble as Star quickly got close to her, the jinx sniffing the nixie while moving all around her. Star finished circling the girl and stood in front of her, leaning very close to her face and looking at the glasses she was wearing with a curious eye. The jinx then took the glasses and put them on herself, showing confusion and looking around with a puzzled meow as the world became blurry to her through the lenses. She shook her head then quickly put the glasses back on Specca, took a moment to carefully tilt it one way then another to get it straight, then noticed the nixie’s tie. Star took hold of it and tugged it a few times, then showed a sly smile as she backed up and pulled Specca along with her.
“Um, what are you doing?” Specca nervously asked as the jinx led her around in circles while giggling.
Star pulled the stumbling nixie around by her tie then let go and noticed the girl’s scaly tail behind her. She hopped over and grabbed it, tugging it a few times while Specca yelped and turned to her with a blush forming on her cheeks.
“What are you doing? Please stop that.”
The jinx wiggled the tail around, brought it closer to sniff a few times, looked at it with a curious meow, and then promptly bit down on it. Specca screamed with a jump while the group watched in surprise as Star held the nixie’s tail across in her mouth with a low growl.
“Star!” Triska shouted out, getting the jinx’s attention as she kept Specca’s tail between her teeth. “Don’t bite her, she’s not food. She’s our friend.”
Star blinked then spat out Specca’s tail before showing a weak smile. The nixie grunted while holding her tail close to her chest and rubbing it where it was sore, her teeth clenched as she glanced to Star with annoyance and muttered obscenities.
“Told ya,” Clover chuckled.
From behind the girls Daniel carefully peeked out over Doku and Kroanette, watching as the jinx meowed happily at the group. Pip flew over and hovered in front of the jinx, the cat girl watching the tiny monster with wonder as the fairy fluttered near her face. With a smile Star meowed and tried to reach out for her. Pip quickly zipped away with a giggle, flying over into the court before Star instantly appeared next to her from a hazy distortion of air that sparkled briefly. The group watched as Pip flew around quickly, with Star warping to her again and again with playful mews. After a while Pip landed against Star’s chest as the jinx appeared in front of her, the fairy looking up at the cat with an excited giggle as she hugged her tunic.
“Hee hee, you’re fun!”
Star hopped about waving her arms as she meowed happily while Pip clung to her chest laughing. As they did Daniel and the other girls exchanged questioning looks with one another.
“She’s just playing with us,” Kroanette marveled.
“She tried to eat me,” Specca grumbled while holding her tail.
“She was just tasting you,” Falla reasoned with a shrug. “She spit you back out, didn’t she?”
“I like her, she’s really nice,” Luna complimented.
“She does seem to be harmless,” Triska reasoned with
a shrug.
“She bit me!” Specca whined.
“But she hasn’t seen Daniel yet,” Alyssa reminded them. “What’s going to happen when she does?”
That question brought back their concerns as they turned to Star, the jinx hopping about playfully with Pip flying in circles around her. Star danced around with the fairy zipping by in blue blur then looked over to see everyone watching her. In a flash she warped over to Triska’s side, the girls exchanging troubled looks while Pip continued to fly around happily in the room.
“Well, that was Pip,” Triska explained with a small shrug. “I see she likes you too. Now let’s continue with the introductions.”
One by one Star met with the girls while Daniel and Squeak moved out of sight behind the archway.
“This is Falla, Luna’s sister,” Triska said, with Star quickly appearing in front of the butterfly girl and swinging her around in similar fashion as she did with Luna.
“She likes you,” Luna congratulated.
“I noticed!” Falla shouted while being swung around by the excited jinx.
“And this is Alyssa,” Triska continued, the group watching as Star had pounced the witch to the floor and was licking her face with eager meows.
“She likes you,” Luna congratulated.
“I noticed!” Alyssa barked back before spitting and shaking her head as Star held her down and licked her face with swiftly wagging tails.
“And this is Kroanette,” Triska introduced, with everyone watching as Star had shoved her face into the centaur’s large breasts with muffled mews.
“Aren’t you just the playful one,” Kroanette mused before scratching behind the jinx’s ear. Star purred and arched back while her expression became that of bliss from the centaur’s touch.
“She likes you,” Luna congratulated.
“I noticed,” Kroanette calmly replied as the jinx turned docile in her hands.
“This here is Doku,” Triska continued, with Star looking at Doku curiously as the harpy had her head lowered and her wings held close.
“Um, nice to meet you,” Doku softly spoke.
Star tilted her head with a curious mew before getting close to Doku’s face. She batted away the harpy’s long bangs a few times to catch glimpses of the girl’s yellow eyes before quickly bringing her head up and under them to stare into Doku’s eyes directly. Again she mewed while the harpy’s long hair draped down beside their faces.
“She likes you,” Luna congratulated.
“I noticed,” Doku replied while watching the jinx staring into her eyes with wonder, something that was making the harpy feel a little uncomfortable.
“And this is Clover,” Triska said waving to the elf.
Star kept her distance and merely meowed once while watching the elf showing a dull stare at her with her arms crossed and a small scowl on her face. The jinx made no effort to step any closer as she remained perfectly still near Triska.
“I don’t think she likes you,” Luna mentioned shaking her head.
“Don’t care,” Clover flatly retorted.
From around the girls Squeak walked out towards the jinx, eyeing the magical monster carefully with a small smile on her face.
“This is Squeak,” Triska introduced with a wave to the ant girl.
Star meowed and tilted her head curiously.
Squeak squeaked and did the same.
The two girls went back and forth speaking in their own tongues while the rest of the group watched them curiously. After a while Star hopped closer and poked Squeak’s breast a few times, lightly batted her antennae with one hand, then moved around and patted the girl’s abdomen with a questioning mew. The jinx eyed Squeak over for a moment then quickly jumped in front of her and meowed, with Squeak merely squeaking back in confusion as she wasn’t sure what the cat was thinking.
“I… think she likes you,” Luna unsurely reasoned scratching her head.
Triska smiled weakly at Squeak and shrugged before looking around at the girls, all of them glancing behind them to the last one to be introduced to the jinx.
“Well, that just leaves one more…” Kroanette carefully said.
“What about Kitten?” Luna asked. “She hasn’t met Kitten yet.”
“And in the interest of making a new ally in this world, she won’t right now,” Triska stated shaking her head.
“Oh, c’mon,” Kitten spoke up in discontent. “Let me meet her. I just want to remind her that my master already has a kitten, and that’s me. Let me out for just a minute.”
‘She’s been friendly with us so far, there’s no reason to have you scare her like I know you would.’
“It’s not scaring, it’s more like… lecturing.”
Triska gently grabbed hold of Star’s hand, the jinx turning to her with a curious mew as the cambion took a slow calming breath.
“Star, there is another here for you to meet. Please try to be on your best behavior for this one, okay?”
Star nodded with a happy smile and meow, her tails waving around together behind her as all the girls kept a close eye on her now.
“Are we sure we should do this?” Specca worriedly asked.
“What could possibly go wrong?” Clover dryly remarked.
Triska slowly nodded then turned her attention towards the archway as other girls stepped aside. From around the corner Daniel walked out into view, a steady breath being made as he prepared himself for what might happen once the jinx laid eyes on him.
“Hello,” he kindly greeted with a small wave. “My name is Daniel Sorres. It’s nice to meet you, Star.”
He jumped a bit then looked around confusedly, the other girls showing puzzlement at his reaction before noticing that Star was gone. Triska looked to her hand that was holding the jinx a moment ago then spun around to see the cat once again seated in front of the grandfather clock staring at the swinging pendulum with a gently rocking head. Everyone watched as Star meowed to herself with each swing of the weight while Daniel rubbed the back of his neck with an awkward expression.
“Uh, not the reaction I was expecting.”
“Seriously?” Alyssa questioned with a raised eyebrow. “What is it with her and that clock?”
“She really likes it,” Kroanette reasoned with a shrug.
“She didn’t even wait to see Daniel,” Falla huffed with annoyance. “What, does she just not care? Is he not good enough for her or something?”
“Strange how she got that idea, huh?” Clover flatly said with a roll of her eyes.
“Star?” Triska called out. “There’s someone here who wants to meet you.”
The jinx looked over to her then hopped to her feet with a loud meow as she saw Daniel, her tails sticking straight up behind her while her eyes became focused intently on the male standing under the archway.
“Here we go,” Specca nervously said as all the girls tensed up.
“Easy, Star,” Triska spoke while holding out a hand to the jinx, seeing very clearly the heightened interest the monster was showing towards Daniel. “Come over here and calmly introduce yourself. We’re all friends, remember?”
Star took one step closer before vanishing, instantly warping over and tackling Daniel down to the ground with a high-pitched yowl. All the girls jumped in surprise as the jinx began to fervently grab at Daniel’s pants while her tails whipped about wildly behind her.
“Star, stop!” Daniel pleaded as he tried to knock the girl’s hands away.
“Get her off him!” Alyssa ordered.
Falla quickly ran over and grabbed the jinx around the waist, yanking the girl off and throwing her aside, only for her to instantly warp back down atop Daniel and resume trying to yank his pants off with a wide smile on her face.
“Hey! Leave him alone!” Falla yelled as she grabbed the jinx and threw her aside, only for the cat to once again warp right back atop Daniel without pause.
“Daniel!” Specca cried out as she and Luna raced over, the two grabbing and lifting Star
up by her arms. The jinx warped right out of their grip and appeared atop Daniel again, yanking down his pants and grabbing hold of his genitals with a zealous yowl.
“She’s going to rape him!” Kroanette shouted as she ran over and grabbed the jinx by her hair. She tried to yank the cat off Daniel before Star’s body shifted out of her grip in a small teleport, the monster keeping atop Daniel while escaping the centaur’s hand entirely.
“Leave him alone!” Doku softly pleaded as she fluttered over and flapped her wings at the jinx.
Star quickly shoved the harpy aside without looking while her other hand was being repeatedly swatted away by Daniel’s. The jinx kept trying to mount him as he kicked about and tried to get away from the excited monster. Squeak ran over and grabbed the jinx by the shoulders before Star and Daniel both teleported off the side, the jinx keeping Daniel pinned down while trying to mount him still.
“She can move him with her!” Falla cried out.
“Of course she can!” Alyssa snapped. “How do you think they steal away their men?”
“Do something, Alyssa!” Luna wailed.
Alyssa tried to push the jinx aside with her magic, a distorted ripple of air wavering around Star and Daniel for a moment before it blasted back violently and knocked Alyssa away into a tumble.
“Alyssa!” Doku exclaimed.
“Dammit!” Alyssa cursed as she scrambled to her feet. “I wasn’t even trying to attack her, I just tried to move her off Daniel. Any magic directed at her gets reflected, even if it’s benign.”
“Star, stop!” Daniel pleaded as he kept trying to push the excited jinx away from him, her fevered meows and bright smile staying constant as she relentlessly tried to grab and straddle the male under her.
“Star!” Triska yelled. She ran over and grabbed the jinx from around the shoulders, throwing her aside, then watching in horror as the monster instantly warped back atop Daniel and continued trying to rape him. Again she grabbed and tossed the monster aside, which was easy enough, then watched as the jinx promptly reappeared on Daniel and kept trying to hump him on the ground.
“Don’t make me draw this!” Triska threatened as she grabbed her sword’s handle.
