Lauder snorted. Obviously, Lauder did not believe in magic, or was unable to recognize the truth when it attacked him. I grinned at him.I concentrated...on yet another spell. I looked at Lauder and released it. It sped to him and struck and sunk into his mind. He moaned, then his face went slack."What were your intentions to me, and who else knows about me?" I asked the now Geas laden Lauder.I listened with a sick feeling as he relayed everything he knew about me, what he was going to have done. Excers had a kind of internal capacitor which stored enough energy to carry an adult for only about 5 minutes; beyond that time, an Excer just shut down until the light reappeared. Excer emergency crews carried artificial light rich in UV which they used to keep their bodies going if they were without sunlight. Awkward, but workable.John and Roberta began planning for the first assault on the invading humans on the continent the Excers called "North" before the transport unloading was even. When she described her involvement in a lesbian act during one of our sessions she did it with such exquisite detail that I had to ask out of character if it was something she'd actually done. She confessed to have done it a few times. Later on we disclosed more about our actual sexual experiences, preferences and status.I call myself Mr Dupont, and told her;about my shortcomings in attracting the opposite sex, that I'm something of a nylon fetishist and get somewhat turned on simply by seeing. She had to basically push him out the door and even then it took a little coaxing from Dale to get him to leave."Wanna watch a movie?" Dale asked my bride as she closed and locked the front door behind a very unhappy Seth. Sarah just giggled and sat down beside her houseguest and told him that he could have the real thing if he was interested. He assured my blushing bride that he was more than interested while she leaned into his open embrace and lifted her lips to his. They started out kissing.
