Eden has been acting weird. Very weird. Both Himeko and Vill had noticed it always happened during breakfast. At first both of them thought nothing of it, until she started avoiding Thor outright, always turning red at the sight of him.

It was then, they knew. Something related to Thor. Weirdly in sync they both thought the same thing, a steamy session between Thor and Eden. A nosebleed later they were running after Elysia.

"What do you mean~? Eden and Thor~? What about them?" The cheek of her to say that to their face while smug and flushed red, had sent them down a rabbit hole they'll be stuck in for weeks.

"Thank you once again, Miss Eden." A perfect 90 degree bow.

Eden had just finished her last venue from her world tour ending up in Japan as per usual.

Now she had a bunch of free time… 2 weeks… a bunch, sure. Pushing that crushing thought out she scanned her ID on the penthouse door.

–Shhhh–

"Welcome aboard Captain" She was greeted by a deep robotic voice as the door slid open. A joke from Thor as he was spending some free time playing timeless classics, just remastered.

The warm smile on her face hearing that was short lived however as when she went to turn the lights that didn't turn on. 'The voice module worked though?'

Immediately she spread out her Honkai energy and used some sensing runes yet, nothing. Chucking her bag by the sofa. However, after taking another step forward the tile sank – alerting Eden but it was too late, a rope of soulium and auralite wrapped around her locking her in place. Some small robots picked her up and placed her in a now suspicious wooden chair.

"Shit. Who the fuck are you?!"

She tried to use her Honkai and runes but both were absorbed into the rope. Suddenly a spotlight shone down on her from above; another two shone the space in front of her.

–Poof–

Two people appeared from a puff of smoke. Vill in her signature steampunk outfit, Himeko… however was wearing a… Bunny suit? She also didn't seem to notice or had no shame. Eden relaxed at the sight of them.

She then tensed back up, why were they here?

Vill smiled and flourished her hat. "Ta-da-da-DAH! The magnificent and modest magician — Vill-V!" She swept a hand toward her companion.

Propping back up she moved onto HImeko, "Followed by Himeko my humble bunny assistant" Himeko originally was to bow too, but seeing her outfit she crashed to the floor.

"Ow" Hopping back up, she pivots to Vill anger and red. "What the hell Vill? Why the hell am I wearing this e-embarrassing get up." She quickly ran to the bathroom by the door to grab a towel, hoping to save some dignity.

Vill giggled as she watched her.

While Himeko and Vill had their performance Eden was trying to get out of the restraints, not wanting to be interrogated by this duo.

In doing so she fell back along with the chair. 

–Thud–

The back of the chair broke.

"Ohhh~ Eeeddeeenn~" Vill sang. Standing over Eden a grin plastered on her.

Himeko also showed in her vision now covered in a towel, bits and pieces of the bunny suit peeking out. Still a little red.

"Now, now, Eden~ We won't harm you – Right Himeko?" Being called upon Himeko leaned over her an evil grin reaching,

Himeko leaned in close, a wicked grin creeping across her face. "Of course we won't harm you… physically." She whispered just loud enough for Eden to hear.

That sent Eden into a violent struggle.

Vill's playful mask slipped, her voice turning flat and serious. "What's going on between you and Thor?"

Eden stopped fighting and sighed. 'I'm not getting out of this until I talk, am I?'

A determined glint in her eyes, she glanced at the ceiling, took a deep breath, and began recounting everything — that night, what she saw, what she did — every detail.

Vill's mind was racing to catch up, but the gears in her head eventually ground to a halt, steam practically puffing out of her ears.

She thought about it: two people, a man and a woman, alone, isolated, tension rising. A slip here, a touch there — and then…

–Poof– A repeat of Vills scene.

***

"S-so… How did it look?" Vill stuttered her question from the sofa.

Eden was already free from her restraints, now they had all sat around and Himeko got a change of clothes from Eden.

Eden Held up her hands quite a distance apart considering her question.

Another round of silence followed.
