Chapter Text
He said as Kevin gave a snort, "Faith, he says..." He muttered, rolling his eyes, "Like that's going to do us any good," He muttered as Ben started pacing again.
"Maybe Grandpa Max's plumber contacts or whatever contacts Frightwig has can help..." He said, more to himself than the others, "If not, there's always Grandma Verdona, she might be able to use her powers to help us find Gwen."
All three of them rocked by Gwen's disappearance, and all three of them feeling powerless to do anything but hope that she was safe wherever she was.
(One week later, resort reality)
"Ah, another lovely day in paradise," Chase said, leaning back in a lawn chair on a balcony overlooking the beach, "Wouldn't you agree, dear?"
"Yes sir," Gwen mumbled from where she was standing next to him, once again wearing her bikini and holding a tray containing several drinks.
She was also wearing a look of tired acceptance as the past week had been a week of pleasure and hell, with her being at Chase's beck and call while also being forced to be his sex toy. And what added to the humiliation was the fact that whenever she wasn't forced to attend to Chase, Charmcaster seemed to be given free reign with her, taking every chance she could to degrade her and force her to serve her sexually.
The memories alone brought a flush to Gwen's cheeks, and she absolutely despised the fact that part of her, or at least her body, was being trained to enjoy it, from being fucked like a piece of meat by Chase in whatever form he was in the mood in, or exploring her body with his hands, to Charmcaster either forcing her to eat her out while praising her or fucking her with whatever sex toy she had on hand.
At least there was a silver lining, small though it might be, with dealing all this and the fact her efforts to figure out a way to escape had amounted to nothing. And that was the fact that, gilded cage though it might be, the resort was practically paradise and hard to not enjoy whenever she had time to herself.
Which brought her to the second part of the silver lining, that being when Chase and Charmcaster decided to give her breaks... even if the latter was because of her attending to... other matters.
"Glrt... glrt... glrt..."
She thought with a blushing grimace, trying to ignore what wash happening to her left as she stood by Chase, holding out the tray to him while on a nearby lawn table, that talking bird Iago let out a scoff.
"It'd be a lot lovelier if Jafar hadn't developed an exhibition kink," The bird said with an eye roll as Chase's business partner was lounging in a lawn chair to Gwen's left, wearing nothing but a pair of red swimming trunks, and currently wearing the largest smirk possible as a purple bikini-clad Charmcaster was sucking off his cock.
"Mmm, urg... I'm just enjoying paradise to its fullest extent, Iago, nothing more~" Jafar said with a slight cackle as he reached over to the tray to grab a drink while patting Charmcaster on her head like she was a pet.
"Mmmph~" Charmcaster moaned out happily around his cock, clearly in agreement with Jafar's opinion.
"That's right, we're masters of our domain, we should feel free to do whatever we want with it," Chase said, nodding in agreement and sharing a look with his friend. With Gwen sending him a subtle glare, despising the smugness in his words and the words themselves; he was acting as if they were untouchable and above any consequences. But she swore the first chance she got, she'd...
She was brought out of her thoughts by Iago rolling his eyes and speaking out annoyed, "Yeah, yeah, we're living the high life," The bird said, sending them a slight annoyed look, "And I'll admit, I've been enjoying this place too."
The bird said with a shrug. After all, this place had everything you could think of and then some, so hard not to enjoy it, "But all we've been doing is lounging for the past week. Don't you think it's time to, I don't know..."
He waved a wing in the air, "Start using that crystal to see what's up for grabs in another world?" Iago asked with a slight greed in his tone, but at the same time Gwen noticed he gave Jafar a subtle frown.
"Umm, urg... yes, I suppose you're right... it is time to choose our next target," Jafar said with a grunt while sipping his drink, enjoying both it and the BJ he was receiving.
"Don't suppose you can let me in on whatever the plan is while you're at it?" Iago asked with a slight pointed look toward Jafar.
"For now, the plan is admittedly testing the crystal's power and seeing if we can learn its limits, if any it, urg, possess," Jafar explained with a slight grunt, "Long-term wise, our plan basically boils down to traveling across the multiverse, urg, taking anything we want and doing whatever we desire to the world in question~" He stated smugly, "Simple, yes, but effective~"
"Huh, that's it? No wanting to conquer anything or take over any kingdoms?" Iago asked, eyes narrowed slightly.
"How'd that work out for you two last time?" Chase asked dryly, making Iago huff indignantly, "No, we have our own realm now, where we can live in perfect comfort. Jafar and I are in agreement that it's best to settle for that, with explorations of other worlds merely being for fun."
"Indeed, at least for now..." Jafar conceded with a nod, "After all, besides endless opportunities for pleasure and fun, there's likely a number of ways to increase our power across the realms, and should we get bored of living in paradise, we'll have our pick of kingdoms or even entire worlds to take."
Jafar said with a dark smirk while rubbing the back of Charmcaster's head, "So why rush head first into conquest at the start?"
"Precisely. We've been granted something wonderful here, and we should enjoy it before we look for more," Chase said, reaching out to grab Gwen's ass, causing her to gasp and moan unwillingly as he squeezed it.
God, why did it have to feel so good?! She hated how her body was responding more and more easily to his advances and even his words, it made her not only as big of a whore as Charmcaster, but feel like she was betraying everyone and everything she cared about!
She should be trying to figure out how to escape and expose this place to... well, she didn't know who was qualified to handle this sort of thing, but she'd have to tell someone!
Instead, she was just letting herself be used as a sex slave and a servant, meekly obeying when she wasn't getting her brains fucked out. Had she really been broken that easily?
As she asked herself this, her eyes began to glow. No, she... she wouldn't break like this... she had to resist... she had to fight... she had to... her thoughts were suddenly cut off by Charmcaster giving a loud muffled moan around Jafar's cock, "MMMMPH!"
As the man himself let out a grunt while shooting his load down the girl's throat with a smirk, "Ah, that's it, slut... swallow every last drop~" he ordered, with Charmcaster seeming to obey with glee.
"Gulp... gulp... ah, delicious~" Charmcaster said after the load was finished and she swallowed all she could, while lifting her head up to smirk at Jafar while softly squeezing the cock, "Now, what say we have some real fun~" she asked with a giggle, only to pout at Jafar shaking his head.
"Sorry my dear, we'll have to postpone," He stated, looking into Charmcaster's eyes at first before glancing over to the others, "It's time we venture into a new world, after all," Jafar said with a dark smirk.
"Agreed. I'm very curious to see what else the crystal can reveal to us," Chase said as he stood up. Seeing the disappointed look on Charmcaster's face, he added with a smirk, "But don't worry dear, I'm sure that Gwen will be happy to keep you company while your master and I are busy elsewhere."
Gwen paled at that, while Charmcaster smirked over at her.
"Hmm, yes, that'll do~" she chuckled at that, "Thank you for being so generous, Chase."
"Of course, my mother always taught me to share my toys~" Chase laughed.
"Hehe, indeed, so as always, enjoy yourself my dear~" Jafar said, sitting up and leaning in to give the side of Charmcaster's neck a few kisses, much to her appreciation.
"Ooh, I always do, master~" she stated, giving Gwen an evil smirk, causing her to feel a shiver down her spine.
(Later at the Resort Crystal)
Jafar (with Iago on his shoulder) and Chase, both dressed in their robes and armor, now stood in front of the crystal with calculating looks.
"Since I used it last time selecting our world, would you care to do the honor this time?" Jafar asked with an arched brow to his friend and fellow isekai soul.
Over the past week, they had not only been having fun with their new girls, but training and getting used to their bodies and abilities, while also learning about each other to help make this alliance work.
Of course this lead to a few surprising facts being revealed, like the fact they had contact before all this online under Chase's penname of Zim'sMostLoyalServant and his own Nightmaster000, reading each other's fanfiction or co-writing some works together. A fact that helped break the ice a little and helped put them more at ease around each other.
And the fact that they were now living out one of the very scenarios that they'd so often written about just made the whole situation even more surreal. But at least they were in this together.
"Don't mind if I do," Chase said as he walked up to the crystal and pressed a hand against it. In response, it flared to life as Chase considered where he wanted to go, what fun he wanted, what sexy girls he could claim~
Thinking of the fun he'd already had with Gwen saw his mind drifting towards another hot redhead he knew of, who was often depicted in sexy swimwear that would fit in well at the resort. And as he focused on her, images started to form in the crystal.
Images of a certain group of mystery solvers alongside their talking dog, solving mysteries usually involving ghosts and ghouls, before unmasking them as frauds and crooks... at least when it wasn't in the rare instances where the monsters were real.
Ahh, Scooby Doo. If there's ever a childhood classic, it's that show, Jafar thought with a smirk, refraining from saying it aloud if only due to Iago's presence.
"My, my, quite an interesting target you've found, Chase~" He said instead, while watching the images play out, showing a variety of familiar scenes.
"Yes, a very talented group of youngsters," Chase commented, watching Mystery Inc's adventures play out. Interestingly, this seemed to be a mixed timeline containing elements of several canons - he recognized events from 13 Ghosts, many of the movies, What's New Scooby Doo?, and even the dark timeline of Mystery Incorporated.
"Is that a talking dog? Sheesh, that's weird," Iago said, only to blink at the odd looks he got from the others, "What?"
"You're literally a talking bird," Chase said dryly.
"What's your point?"
Jafar, while wearing an amused smirk at this byplay, chose to focus on the objective at hand, "Hmm, so what are you feeling for this little group?" He asked his comrade with an arched brow, before adding with a smirk, "Personally, I wouldn't mind giving them a mystery they'd never forget~"
"Now that sounds like it could be fun~" Chase replied with a smirk, "And speaking of fun, hope you don't mind me claiming the redhead. I think I'm developing a taste for them~"
"Hehe, by all means, she's all yours," Jafar said with a low laugh, smirking at the images, "I find myself more interested in the scholar-looking girl among the group~" He informed Chase as his eyes roamed over the images of Velma playing out.
"Okay then, with that settled, any ideas for what sort of trap we want to set for them?" Chase asked.
"Well, from the looks of things, they seem drawn to mysteries centered around monsters," Jafar said, gesturing to images of Mystery Inc running from or trapping various costumed crooks, "So why not give them two real monsters~"
He said with a devious smirk as his mind went to something he had been practicing the past week, while taking inspiration from Chase Young's draconic form.
Speaking of which, as he said that, Chase changed into that form, flexing his claws and grinning.
"Yes, I think that should be just the thing to get their attention," he chuckled.
"Hehe, agreed~" Jafar said, raising his staff, and with a flash of red energy Iago flapped away startled and watching in slight shock as Jafar's form shifted and changed once more, taking on a snake form, but more of the lines of a snake man monster form!
"Thissss sssshould be quite fun~" Hissed out Jafar, flaring out his cobra hood as a long serpent tail swished behind him, while standing on four-toed sharpened talon feet and flashed his deadly claws.
A form that Chase raised a brow at as he chuckled, "Thisss ssshould prove the perfect training exercissse for this new little trick I've developed, my friends~" He told Chase and Iago with an eager hiss.
"Well, that's new," Chase noted.
"Jealous that he copied your trick?" Iago asked teasingly.
"Hardly. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, after all," Chase scoffed.
"Hehe, glad you approve~" Jafar hissed with a smirk, "I just hope our little group of detectives will enjoy my new form as well~" he added with a laugh.
"Only one way to find out," Chase said, before turning his attention to the crystal again, "Now, we just need to find the right place to lay our trap."
At that the crystal seemed to flare, sensing his desire, and a map of Scooby Doo's Earth appeared before it zoomed to Brazil, with a city appearing as well as a name... Manaus.
"Hmm, yes, this should do nicely. A jungle for us all to blend into, next to a prominent enough city to catch their attention," Chase mused.
"Eh, been a while since I've been in a jungle, could be interesting," Iago muttered, rubbing his wing under his beak.
"Hehe, indeed, this should be quite thrilling~" Jafar said with a laugh, before sending Chase a smirk, "Plus, should we need them, the jungle will prove an excellent area for your jungle cat warrior to reside in during our stay here."
He remarked as Chase activated the portal and the two began to make their leave of the tower, "But come..." Jafar gave a wide sinister grin, "Let's go terrify some poor fools and officially begin our harems~"
He said with a cackle as he and Chase left the tower, both of them missing the scrutinizing look Iago was sending at their backs while following behind their backs.
(Scooby Doo Earth)
Some time later in the city of Manaus, located in the country of Brazil, a group of famous mystery solvers known as Mystery Inc were currently touring the town.
"Man, Manaus really has some beautiful sights, huh gang?" Asked Fred Jones, sending his friends a bright smile.
"And it's home to the National Institute of Amazonian Research," Velma Dinkley added, "Hopefully we'll have a chance to check that out once we're done with this case."
"Yeah, like, how about we just skip that part for once and just get to the sights?" Shaggy Rogers offered nervously.
"Reah, rights," Scooby Doo added to his friend's point.
"No deal you two, we've got a mystery to solve," Daphne Blake denied, shaking her head while gently chiding her friends.
"Yeah, and this time it's a big one, two monsters for the price of one mystery," Fred said a tinge of excitement entering his voice, "Which means I get a chance to use some of the trapping methods focused on multiple targets!" he gushed out excitedly to them, but at their flat looks he gave a cough as he turned the Mystery Machine to the right as he continued to drive on the road as Shaggy spoke up with a stutter.
"Like, I'm sorry, but did Fred say there were two monsters?!" He exclaimed with a shrill cry as Scooby let out a whimper.
"Indeed there is," Velma said as she brought out her laptop and began to pull up some online footage and photos, "For the past few weeks, the city of Manaus and surrounding areas of the Amazon Rainforest have been terrorized by two reptilian creatures."
On the laptop's screen appeared several blurry pictures and video clips of what appeared to be a lizard man and a humanoid snake, running through the jungle and down streets. Storefronts and cars were vandalized, people were being chased, and overall there appeared to be scenes of chaos.
"Jeepers, these things are certainly causing a lot of havoc," Daphne observed with a worried frown.
"You can say that again," Fred added as he looked out the window, "Just look at everybody," he added, nodding his head toward some of the people they were passing by, and many of the people while going about their day carried a nervous edge... some of them seemed even more jumpy than Shaggy and Scooby on a bad day.
"Hmm, it's clear these attacks and rampages haven't only impacted the tourism but the native citizens as well," Velma observed with a frown.
"Ran you blame them?" Scooby asked with a whimper.
"Like yeah?! With two monsters running around, you'd be stressed too," Shaggy said with a high pitch before adding with a nervous gulp, "I'm already a nervous wreck," He said, before offering with a nervous grin, "So why don't we just try for a different vacation destination, like say, the Himalayas?" He offered with a nervous laugh.
"No dice, we aren't leaving till we get to the bottom of this mystery," Fred told his friend in a stern tone.
"Like, I was afraid you'd say that," Shaggy said with a slight whimpering groan shared with Scooby, as Fred looked over to Velma.
"Is there anything in particular you can tell us about these attacks, Velma? Like a particular target or pattern to them?" Fred asked with a thoughtful frown while keeping his eyes on the road.
"Not much of a pattern, aside from the fact that they've all been in close proximity to the jungle," Velma mused, looking over the articles carefully, "And not to any specific portion, either, so we can't even pin down any area in particular."
"So, we're going to have to search the whole jungle?" Daphne asked with a grimace, "Guess I'm going to have to swap out shoes."
"Nothing wrong with roughing it and getting a bit closer to nature for a mystery," Fred said with a slight smirk.
"Sigh... better get the bug spray ready, huh Scooby?" Shaggy said with a sigh, with Scooby giving a nod of agreement.
"Reah..." The dog also sighed, both of them already knowing there was no way out of this from experience.
"That's the spirit, you guys," Velma said as the Mystery Machine arrived at their destination, "Just take it as a chance to see the beauty of the Amazon up close," she added with a soft smirk.
"But first thing's first, I want to see some of the attack sites up close and talk to some witnesses," Fred said, "Maybe then we can get a better idea of what we're up against."
"Plus, it's a chance to take in the local culture with some shopping before we head to the jungle," Daphne added brightly with a smile.
"Yeah, and some local grub too!" Shaggy added, he and Scooby licking their lips as they looked at the bright side of the situation the only way that they knew how.
"Just don't forget we're here for a mystery, not a vacation," Velma gently reminded them, before adding with a smile, "We can enjoy the culture after we solve it~"
"Right, so let's get to it, gang!" Fred said as he parked the Mystery Machine. With that, the gang got out and started walking around, looking for people who might have witnessed the monster attacks.
"It was absolutely terrifying, I honestly thought those things were going to eat me for a second there," Spoke a teen to Shaggy and Scooby while giving a shiver, causing the two to gulp.
"Yeah, I was there during one of the attacks," Growled an older man manning a fruit stand, "They completely destroyed all of my produce and wrecked my stand!" He said with a snap toward Fred, "Do you have any idea how much that set me back?!"
"It was awful! They just ran down the street smashing everything in their path!" a woman exclaimed to Daphne.
"I tell you, they're escaped military experiments!" one man yelled in Velma's face.
"It's been absolutely horrible, I'm honestly terrified of letting my children outside the house!" A woman stated while looking nervously around as she purchased some produce before hurrying off, leaving Fred with a concerned frown.
Those were just some of the answers and responses the gang received as they asked about the attacks, painting a picture that these particular monsters seemed to delight in destruction of public and private property and terrifying innocents, more so than even the usual costumed crooks they dealt with.
"But what's the motive?" Wondered Velma out loud with a frown as she walked down the road with crossed arms, "These so-called monsters can't be terrorizing people just for a laugh, after all," she added with a frown, positive that whoever really was behind this had a deeper motive and plan... of course, to find that out, first she needed to see if she could find out any information beyond the attacks about these so-called monsters.
And there was always one place that never failed to yield information, and after asking for some information she found herself at a small store front with the sign that read, "Jafar's Mystical Emporium, where knowledge is the greatest magic of all."
Velma read aloud with a slight blink but gave a soft smile, "Well, personal opinion on the supernatural aside, hard to argue with that."
With that, she walked into the store. Looking around, she saw row after row of bookshelves, as well as several glass cabinets containing artifacts and antiques of all kinds.
"Nice place," Velma noted, musing that she might look for something to buy once the case was over with. But choosing to ignore that for now, she looked around for someone who actually worked here.
"Hello! Anyone here?" she called out.
"I, like knowledge, will always be here to aid those in need~" Spoke an amused voice from behind her, causing Velma to whirl around startled.
"Jinkies, you scared me," Velma said with a small tentative smile toward the man behind her, shooting her a grin.
"Jafar Jafari," Jafar introduced himself, now dressed in the same outfit he wore when he first woke up on the resort, and smirked as he beheld Velma Dinkley in the flesh, and she was cuter in person~
But it seemed that their work over the past couple of months since deeming to set up shop here in this reality had bore fruit, as Mystery Inc had finally taken the bait to their trap~
And just as he hoped, it seems that they, his chosen target no less, has found her way into the civilian front he set up when he first arrived. It was amazing how much easier magic and a little hypnosis made things like acquiring living quarters, possessions, and forged papers easier to acquire.
And once he and Chase were set up, they wasted no time in beginning their monstrous rampage, which proved to be quite a thrill in itself~ But now the real fun could begin.
"How might I be of service to such a lovely young lady as yourself?" He asked gently, taking Velma's hand and kissing the back of it.
Velma blushed at the act, unused to that kind of attention. Clearing her throat as she pulled her hand back, she adjusted her glasses while she composed herself.
"Ah, yes. I was hoping you might have some information in relation to these recent so-called monster attacks that the city's been suffering?" she asked.
"Ah, you've come to the right place," Jafar stated with a slight smirk toward Velma, "I've in fact been doing my own research on these attacks, and I believe I've discovered what exactly these creatures are."
He said while gesturing Velma to follow him.
"Really? Jinkies, that's good to hear," Velma said politely as she followed him into the back of the store. She doubted that he knew what was actually happening, but knowing whatever folklore was inspiring the attacks might come in handy towards figuring out what was really happening.
Reaching the rear area of the store, Velma watched as Jafar walked around the desk there, which held a register and a bird stand on which was perched a large red parrot. Walking up to the bookshelf on the wall behind the desk, Jafar rummaged a bit before pulling out a particularly large tome that he set out on the desktop for Velma to see.
"This tome was quite the rare find, and I believe it shares the story of our culprits," Jafar explained as he opened the book to an already bookmarked page, "According to this, centuries ago the people of this land were besieged by a deadly band of warriors led by two men."
Jafar pointed a finger depicting a village being attacked and its people slaughtered by invaders, much to Velma's horror, "One a user of powerful magics, and the other a deadly warrior without peer," He stated, turning the page. This time the pictures showing a shadowy figure wielding a serpent staff shooting flames at a crowd of people, while the other was taking on what appeared to be an army singlehanded.
"Their motives for the carnage and chaos were unknown, but what was known was that they were bringing nothing but great harm upon the land," Jafar stated in a grave tone to Velma, who was soaking in the information.
"What happened to them? And what does this have to do with the monsters?" she asked.
"Eventually, they bit off more than they could chew, when the mystics of this land beseeched the aid of their gods," Jafar explained, turning the page, "And for their evil, they were cursed," Jafar stated, his tone going darker, "Their followers twisted to the forms of jungle cats, while the two leaders themselves cursed to monstrous forms that matched their dark souls."
He explained as Velma looked down at the page depicting a group of people being twisted into different forms. The soldiers that had been led by the two were, as stated, transformed into various large cats. But the most shocking changes were those done to the two leaders, as one became a large lizard, while the other became a humanoid snake, exactly like the monsters reported here and now.
"Hmm, that certainly seems to match up with what I've heard," Velma said, "Is there anything else?"
"Only that the warriors were cursed to wander the jungle, while their leaders were supposedly imprisoned in the darkest pits for all eternity," Jafar added, closing the book with a sigh, "Only now it seems they've broken free to once more ransack the land," He stated with a grave look.
Velma nodded along at that, though obviously she didn't believe that these were the same beings from the legend. But clearly, someone was using it as inspiration for these attacks. The only question was, who stood to gain from all this chaos?
"Though I do hope you aren't asking about this because you're planning to hunt for those creatures," However as she asked herself this, she raised her head to see Jafar giving her a look of concern, "After all, I couldn't bear the thought of such a lovely thing putting herself in needless danger."
He said with his best suave smirk as he gently placed his hand on top of Velma's.
"Um, ah, thank you," she stammered, blushing brightly. She really had no idea how to react to this - Daphne was usually the one that guys showed this kind of interest in, not her.
"But, ah, there's nothing to worry about. Believe me, monsters like these aren't real, this is just someone trying to scare people for some reason," she said as she composed herself.
"If that's true, it still doesn't mean you're not dealing with a dangerous situation," Jafar warned before sighing, "But monsters aside, I find myself curious..." He looked into Velma's eyes, "What besides these unfavorable events brings you to Manaus?" He asked, before giving her a wink and smirk, "Because if you're looking for romance, I believe I could help you with that~"
Now Velma's entire face was burning the color of Daphne's hair, and she sputtered incoherently as her mind momentarily shut down from shock.
"Ah, uh, um, that is..." she managed to get out, "I, I'm very flattered, but I'm afraid I'm not looking for anything like that right now."
"Oh? Are you sure?" Jafar asked, leaning against the table with a smirk, "Because I'd be happy to show you the sights of the city and take you out for dinner, all on me~" He said with a tilt of his head, "After all, not every day you get a chance to meet or ask such a famous intellect like yourself out on a date~"
He added with a little laugh.
"Ah, famous? Oh, I don't know about that," Velma said bashfully. Admittedly, yes, Mystery Inc were well-known, but she hardly thought that qualified them as celebrities or anything.
"Ooh, don't try to deny it, I recognized the renowned brains and beauty of Velma Dinkley from Mystery Inc the moment she stepped into my store," Jafar countered with a smirk, "A friend of mine and I actually had a bet that you and your friends would be showing up once all this chaos started."
"Really?" Velma asked, blinking in surprise, "And what exactly were the terms of the bet?"
"Oh, just who could show a lovely girl a better time, him or me," Jafar said with a teasing smirk, "We also have a long standing argument on who's more of a catch, you or Daphne~" He added with a wink.
Now that was surprising to hear. Velma wasn't oblivious to the fact that most people considered Daphne "the hot one" of the group, considering that she was the most traditionally attractive. And her usually covering herself up with her choice of outfits probably just contributed to that. So it wasn't expected to hear someone actually debating which of them was better.
"Well, sorry to say that we'll be busy investigating, so I don't think we'll have time for that," she said placatingly, not wanting to offend him. Before finding herself arching a brow as Jafar made an overly-dramatic reaction.
"Urg... it hurts... my heart," He gasped, holding his hand over his heart, "Oooh, I think I need a doctor," He gasped, leaning against the table while shooting Velma a playful desperate look, "With the only treatment being, ah... dinner with... a beautiful brilliant... young woman," He said as the bird seemed to roll his eyes while Velma found herself giving off a amused little giggle at his antics.
And it was pretty endearing that someone would go through all this effort to woo her for once, so why not play along a little?
"Well, if it's that serious," she said playfully, "I suppose I should be able to squeeze in some time for a meal after we're done here."
At that Jafar stood back up with a gasp, "Ah! It's a miracle, I'm healed!" He called out with a grin, causing Velma to snort in amusement, "But yes, dinner would be lovely at any point you're free~" He said, shooting her a grin, "Though while I understand you've got a mystery to solve, I hope you won't be afraid to visit me in the meantime at any time at your leisure~"
"Well... I suppose I could," she said after a moment's thought, looking around the store again, "If nothing else, I admit that I rather do like your shop, and I'm curious if there's anything here I might want to buy."
"My shop, and myself, are ever at your service," Jafar said with a smile as he picked up her hand gently and once again kissed the back of it.
"And you'd be amazed at what I have to offer you~" He added with a smirking wink.
Once again, Velma found herself blushing brightly at how forward Jafar was being.
"Aha, yes, well, I should be going. Thanks for the help," she said quickly, before turning to leave. With Jafar laughing in delight at seeing the affect he had on her.
"Guess the broad doesn't have much experience with guys flirting with her, huh Jafar?" Iago stated with an arched brow from his spot on the table.
"Indeed, but that makes it all the more fun, Iago~" Jafar told the bird with a smirk.
"So, how long you and Chase going to drag this out before you grab 'em?" Iago asked.
"Hmm, honestly not sure..." Jafar admitted, rubbing his chin, "Truthfully, I don't mind playing with Velma as both Jafar the local business owner and as one of the monsters terrorizing everybody for as long as possible."
He said, before giving a shrug, "Nor do I mind cutting to the chase and grabbing them after we've had our fun," he said, glancing over to Iago, "I'll leave it up to Chase to decide, since he chose this world."
He added with a smirk as he picked up the book he had conjured and forged with his magic. Nothing like adding a little background lore to their act and the mystery, "Either way, thanks to our testing we know we aren't pressed for time in our return."
Jafar remarked aloud with a thoughtful look as his mind couldn't help but go over the experimentation they had performed to see how the passage time ran back at the resort compared to whatever world they were on at a chosen time if deemed to stay longer than a day. And they'd found that they could spend as much time as they wanted in a world, and return to the resort the same moment that they'd left. Which meant that they could do as much as they wanted here and not have to worry about their claimed girls getting lonely.
Of course, he was also planning on experimenting a bit to see if they could return further away from when they first left. Not only to continue to learn about the crystal and resort's power... but also because he was frankly curious what Charmcaster would do to Gwen if she had say an entire day to do what she wanted with the other girl~
But he shook that thought off as he addressed Iago, "Anyway Iago, I have an assignment for you," Jafar stated, glancing over to the bird, "I want you to follow and keep an eye on Velma until further notice."
He stated, with Iago giving off a sigh, "Yeah, yeah, I'll keep a close eye on your new toy," The bird grumbled a bit before taking off, flapping away after the girl, leaving Jafar to give a brief frown.
During their time on this world, he'd noticed that Iago seemed a bit off in his behavior as of late, "Hmm, probably just getting used to the new status quo of his life perhaps," Jafar wondered aloud, rubbing his chin and hoping it wasn't anything too serious.
"No matter. I suppose I should call Chase to tell him that Mystery Inc has arrived if he isn't already aware," He muttered, leaving to do just that while wondering if his friend had gotten lucky to encounter his chosen target as well.
(Meanwhile)
Daphne stood outside a storefront, looking up at a sign of a yin-yang symbol surrounded by a Chinese dragon, with the writing "Heavenly Dragon Massage Parlor" underneath it. Despite knowing that she had more important things to focus on, she couldn't help but decide to check it out.
"Well, I've already heard plenty from the locals, it can't hurt just to check things out for later, right?" she mused, before shrugging and heading inside. She was greeted by a wide lobby space, with the parlor's logo on the wall behind a reception, where sat a young Chinese man in a dark suit.
"Welcome to the Heavenly Dragon, where we provide care that will send you to paradise," Chase greeted, smirking as he saw his target come right to him, "How may I help you?"
"Hey, I was hoping to perhaps get a quick service before I meet back up with my friends," Daphne greeted the man with a smile, "Oh, and maybe ask you a few questions about the monster attacks if you know anything I haven't heard yet," Daphne explained as she walked up to the reception desk.
"But of course, I'd be happy to help a celebrity such as yourself, Miss Blake," Chase said.
"Oh, you've heard of us?" she asked with a pleasant smile.
"Of course, you and your friends are quite famous, after all," Chase replied, "But where are my manners? I'm Chase Young, the proprietor, and not only will I be happy to help with your investigation, but I'd like to offer you a free special services package as compensation for coming all this way to help with our problem."
"Oooh, thank you~" Daphne said, smiling at the man and feeling touched at the gesture, "But you really don't need to go that far," she quickly assured him gently, "After all, I can more than cover even your most expensive services."
She said as Chase moved from around the reception table and gestured for her to follow him as she told him this, "But I'm open to any way you think you can help my friends and I deal with the city's monster problem."
"Well, I don't know how helpful it'll be, but I have noticed that the monsters only seem to be attacking at night, and only areas that are near the jungle," Chase said as he led Daphne down a hallway further into the building, "Makes me glad that I built this far into the city."
"Yeah, I could see that helping you avoid some of the damage to property that's been happening," Daphne agreed with a nod before pursing their lips, "And these monsters are apparently nocturnal then, huh?"
She stated thoughtfully, more to herself than anything, as that was certainly important information to know, and who knows, it might give her and her friends the day to enjoy before they worked on trying to find answers behind these attacks and trap those monsters.
"I can only assume so, judging by their activities," Chase said, walking up to a door and opening it to reveal a small room with a padded massage table in the middle, a screen against one corner, and a shelf of lit candles and incense sticks off to another side providing dim lighting and a pleasant smell.
"Please, change and get comfortable so that we can begin," Chase commented, pointing to the screen and a stack of towels next to it.
"Ah, thank you," Daphne said, moving to the changing screen with a hum. Though as she began to take off her clothes behind the screen, she found herself making small talk with the man, "So, you're a fan of me and my friends?" She asked curiously to the man.
"Very much so," Chase replied as he gathered up several oils and creams, "So many criminal escapades brought to a halt by you five, with nothing but your wits and skills. It's all quite inspiring, if I'm being honest."
"Oh, well, I don't know about that. We're just doing our part to help people," Daphne replied with a bashful smile as she wrapped a towel around her nude body and walked back around the screen and towards the table.
"And you do it very well," Chase said, eyes discretely running over Daphne's near-completely nude form as she lay down on the table.
Oh yes, he'd be having fun with her~ Here's hoping Gwen didn't get jealous~
"Hmm, thanks, but really we just love solving mysteries, and we're happy that doing what we love can help people," Daphne replied, smiling as she laid across the table face first, "What about you? Have you been in this business long?" she asked, looking over her shoulder at him.
"No, it's a fairly recent development," Chase said as he rubbed some oil between his hands, "You could say that a friend and I recently went through something of a shared midlife crisis and decided to try new things. Our paths led us here, and the rest is history."
"Well, there's worse places to end up, not counting the monsters," Daphne commented. Truthfully, she was curious for more details, but decided that it would be rude to push.
"Very true," Chase laughed, before pressing his hands against Daphne's bare shoulders and begin to press and squeeze.
"Oooh, mmmmm~ And you've, ah ah, certainly got the, uh, perfect touch for this, ah, job~" Daphne said with a light moan, because jeepers did this massage feel good, his hands felt positively magical~
"Thank you, I do try~" Chase said with a smirk, watching as Daphne practically melted under his touch, and he'd just barely started, "And I have to say, I'm feeling a lot of tension here. When's the last time you were able to properly relax?"
"Um, oh, I guess it's been a while," Daphne muttered. Most of the gang's attempts to have breaks and vacations did seem to get interrupted by mysteries, didn't they?
And she said as much to Chase, "Don't get me wrong, I love all the mystery solving, but I can't remember the last time my friends went anywhere for fun that didn't lead to some monster terrifying everybody."
Daphne said with a sigh, "I mean, even a trip to Loch Ness to visit my cousin for the Highland Games led to us dealing with a Loch Ness Monster, of all things," She muttered before letting out another soft moan as Chase pressed his elbow against a point between her shoulders and under her neck.
"Well, it sounds to me like you could use a real break," Chase commented, digging his elbow in a bit more before moving to start lightly chopping down her back, "Perhaps you should consider staying in town for a while after handling the current situation? At least long enough to properly relax."
"Mmm, ah, that actually sounds pretty nice~ Would be nice to enjoy a place we visit without worrying about some costumed crook or monster," Daphne replied with a groan, becoming lost in the sensation of her massage.
"And I'd be happy to help with that," Chase said, moving his hands further down her back before pausing. As tempting as it was to grab her ass as part of the special "full body massage" he was hoping to give her, it was probably too soon to do that. So instead, he turned his attention to her legs, working on her hamstrings and joints.
"We also provide full spa services for an additional fee, though of course for someone of your status, I'd forego that," he said, deeply pressing onto the back of one of Daphne's legs.
"Mmm, ah, that sounds nice," Daphne agreed faintly with a low groan, "But again you, ah, don't have to give me any special treatment."
"Nonsense. You and your friends are heroes, you at the very least deserve a free gift every now and then," Chase said, moving the massage to her feet.
"Uh, mmmm, well maybe, ah ah, there wouldn't be any harm in accepting," Daphne groaned reluctantly as she started to focus more on the feel of his hands against her body; this had to be one of the best massages she'd ever gotten.
Honestly, she just didn't want it to ever stop~
Seeing and hearing how satisfied Daphne was, Chase smirked and decided to slightly ramp things up a bit. Moving his hands back to her shoulders, he leaned down to bring his head close to hers.
"Glad to hear it. I'm very happy to make you feel good~" he whispered huskily into her ear.
At that, Daphne found herself flushing and feeling warm as a fantasy started to form in her mind. Her and Chase seated at a fancy restaurant, enjoying a meal together. Then slow dancing together to romantic music. Then retreating to a bedroom, where he gave her another excellent massage, before clothes started going flying, and then...
Wow, jeepers, slow down! Where was all this coming from?! She thought with a shock as she realized what she was fantasizing about.
She just met this man barely ten minutes ago! Not to mention she had Fred... well, sort of, their relationship status was a bit complicated, that original timeline the gang swore to not talk about didn't exactly help.
Sure Chase was very handsome, and seems nice, and his hands, mmmmmm... Ugh, where was she going with this again? She tried to think as the pure sensual pleasure of the massage started filling her head with a haze. So much so that she barely noticed as Chase's hands starting moving further and further down her towel-covered back, until they were just above her waist.
"So, would you be interested in upgrading this to a full-purpose massage?" he asked with a smirk.
"Uh, full purpose?" Daphne questioned, blushing while speaking with a nervous stutter, "Umm, what exactly does that entail?" She found herself asking, despite a voice at the back of her mind saying she should probably just leave now. After all, this sounded like it was going to cross a line... but it felt so good, she was finding it hard to resist.
"Oh, more of the same, but just all over," Chase sad, before making a show of looking concerned, "Of course, if I'm making you uncomfortable, I can stop."
"Ah, no, of course not, you're not doing anything wrong," Daphne found herself saying with a little cough, "And it's just a little massage, what's the harm?" She added more to herself than Chase, because despite a voice saying she should stop, she was feeling too good to let it stop.
And like she said, it was just a massage, right? Those weird fantasies that just popped into her head was just fantasy about an attractive guy and window shopping, nothing serious or concerning.
"Well, okay then," Chase said, before moving his hands further down to grip Daphne's ass through the towel, causing her to gasp before she moaned as he started kneading her ass cheeks.
"Oh God, that's so good~" she moaned, slumping against the table while unconsciously raising her ass further into his grip.
"Glad to hear that," Chase chuckled, working his fingers even harder into her rear.
Hmmm, Daphne knew logically she should be upset, massage or not, that she was basically letting him feel up her ass. But it felt good, so why not go with the flow and just relax?
"Mmmm, Chase, that feels really good," She said with a moan, "Your regular customers or even your girlfriend, ahhh, if you have one are really lucky~"
"Hmm, my customers never complain~" Chase chuckled, "As for a girlfriend... well, technically I have someone I'm seeing, though it's a bit complicated."
"Oh, okay," Daphne replied, feeling an oddly jealous spark. Which was ridiculous of course, who cares if some other girl had access to this guy's magic hands all the time?
"Mmm, I suppose I can, ah, understand. My own relationship status is, mmmm, kinda complicated as well," Daphne admitted, before finding herself spilling all about Fred and her for some reason, while venting a bit to Chase.
"I mean, it took forever to get him to even realize that I liked him, and since then we've barely ever actually dated, and I've lost track of the number of times I've seen him checking out other girls even when I'm standing right there!" she exclaimed, quickly devolving into a rant.
"If you don't mind me saying so, it sounds like he doesn't appreciate you," Chase commented, continuing to knead her ass.
"Umm, I... well I suppose he can take me for granted sometimes, ah, maybe, but not appreciate me..." Daphne repeated with a slight groan and frown, "I... Fred's not like that," she weakly protested, though she had to admit at times it sure felt like he was.
After all, if he was going to show interest in her, then why couldn't they be going steady? Or at least be in a position where he wasn't checking out every good-looking slut they came across?
"If you say so," Chase said, before reluctantly pulling his hands away, "There now, how do you feel?"
"Mmm... pretty good..." Daphne said with a blink, before asking with a frown, "Is the massage over already?" she asked, actually feeling disappointed.
"Yes, though only because I know you're busy with the mystery that you came here for," Chase said, before giving her a suggestive smirk, "But that said, once you're done with that, I'd be happy to give you a more deluxe package~"
At that, Daphne couldn't help but gulp, her body warming up as more fantasies started to pop into her head again. His hands roaming over her body, touching parts of her that weren't usually touched as part of a massage, taking her in his embrace...
Okay, no, no, no, she could not let herself get caught up in her imagination like that, no matter how tempting it was. Besides, that probably wasn't what he meant anyway, so don't make it weird!
"Ah, y-yeah, that sounds great!" she said quickly, trying to be polite as she sat up, clutching her towel close, "I'll be sure to take you up on that once we're done with the monsters."
"Excellent. Now then, I'll let you get changed and leave, and don't worry, you can consider this first massage complimentary," Chase said, turning to leave the room.
"Hehe, thanks... you're real sweet," Daphne said, still blushing and not wanting to be rude to the man who had been nothing but polite. It was hardly his fault he was attractive and giving her fantasies... maybe she just needed to see about her and Fred having a date soon, that was all.
She couldn't help but think as she went back behind the screen to get dressed. Though as she did so, she couldn't help but wonder if Fred would even be interested in a date... she sure Chase wouldn't mind one.
At that she shook her head with a low groan. She so needed to get back to the others and get her head on straight! She needed to focus on the mystery, then she could worry about her relationship status and hot guys with magic fingers!
...Jeepers, she wasn't going to be able to stop thinking about him any time soon, was she? She thought with a flush as she finished getting dressed and exited the parlor.
Chase, meanwhile, felt very satisfied as he watched Daphne leave, still able to feel the sensation of her divine body under his hands. Oh, he was going to enjoy it when he could fully make use of her~
"This is going to be fun," he laughed to himself.
