Yidhari

“What a lovely looking video store…nice and cozy. You certainly live up to Yuzuha’s word about your movie collection.”

Yidhari commented as you opened the door for her, she casually strode forwards and immediately making her way to the stocks of movies as her four tentacles bounced and followed her form hypnotically. Her pink eyes with yellow circles landing on the horror section easily.

“You’ve even got the whole franchise of ‘The Dark Depths’ franchise. My favorite…”

She picked one of the cases of the movie franchise up to look at as her four tentacles went and grabbed each of their own cases for her pink and yellow eyes to dart from movie to movie with appreciation.

Yuzuha had finally introduced you to one of the last two members of her Spook Shack faction, Yidhari, and the other being Lucia. and of course, she seems to be an avid horror enjoyer as she informed you of her favorite franchise, the ‘The Dark Depths’ franchise. Consisting of fake huge terrifying sea monsters lurking in the ocean that terrorize the part of humanity that lived by the sea.

Each sea monster over the years scarier or more ridiculous than the last, or sick as hell when humanity somehow beat the giant sea monsters, or the movie surprises its viewers by having two sea monsters fight each other. It’s completely unpredictable every single time, the sea monsters could be so small they feed off you as a parasite without you knowing, or be so big it can dwarf the size of a cruise ship by its eye alone, it’s all about the destruction, terror, and gore that leaves people sick in their stomachs. The franchise has been running for years, even before the fall of the old capital. And you enjoyed it too.

“Here’s an idea, manager. Let’s get to know each other while binging ‘The Dark Depths’ franchise’ hm? I wouldn’t mind rewatching the franchise…”

You agreed and Yidhari let Yuzuha know she’ll be staying over for the night. You gathered each and every TDD film and stacked them up as you prepared loads of popcorn and drinks and finally turned off the lights and closed all curtains, and settled on the couch next to her.

Coincidentally…the very first, and relatively old film, was about a kraken. It started first with a large wooden boat in the middle of the ocean in a dark storm, some dialogue between coworkers before the lightning showed multiple large tentacles looming before the ship.*

“How stereotypical…”

At the corner of your eye you noticed a smile carve itself a little higher on Yidhari’s lips as she chuckled at her joke hinting at her octopus thiren descent, you chuckled at her comment too as thirens relating to any of these monsters like a shark would probably find their own movie stereotypical or cliche.

You and Yidhari spent the rest of your afternoon, evening, and night watching movie after movie with few bathroom breaks, talking and getting to know one another. Without realizing, you had fallen asleep…waking up later in the morning feeling…suffocated. It felt like something was all over your body and sucking itself on your body to keep clinging to you. It was a tight hold paired with a slippery sensation…

You finally opened your eyes noticed all four of Yidhari’s purple tentacles clinging to you like a lifeline. One around your left leg, another wrapped around your left arm and snaking up its tip to stick against your cheek, one wrapped around your waist trailing up your torso, and the last tentacle wrapped tightly around your right arm. As Yidhari slept peacefully atop of you, almost straddling you in her sleep with her bosom smothering you on your right cheek and her head resting atop of yours.

You tried to gently pry one of her tentacles off, leaving a purple circle mark as proof of its suction on your skin. It clung right back on. Only then did Yidhari stir awake, sitting up and seeing what she accidentally put you in and not letting go just yet. With sleepy eyes she smiled and couldnt hold back a giggle.

“Sorry…they have a mind of their own sometimes. 5 more minutes…”

She went back to resting against your side.
