Thread: The Passage (Rauk x ScifiNudist)

Nice move, old man. The younger partner said, moving one of his pawns forward, carefully making sure the magnetic bottom of the game piece attached firmly to the board. They dont call me Geoff, the Grandmaster for nothing. The raspy voiced elderly man made his move as he inspected the anchored chess table. Excited to see your parents again, Ben? He added, watching as the young man was concentrating hard, lost in thought about his next move. Both were leisurely floating still next to the game board on opposite ends, tethered by a small black cable clipped to their belts. Huh? Oh sorry. Yeah, Its a bummer about space travel. I dont get why I couldnt just come with them in the first place. Benedict moved another piece, as his mind wandered. The grey haired, stocky built man grinned as he moved one of his bishops to take Bens Knight. Check mate. He declared, before coughing into his curled-up fist. Maybe next time youll have your mind more focused on the game? Reaching out to offer a handshake with his other arm, he smiled. Didnt see that one coming, you are good. Benedicts younger voice spoke, as his hand met Geoffs for a shake. Unfortunately, his inexperience with micro gravity space flight got the better of him, and his firm shake sent him slowly floating across the board, his elbow knocking off several game pieces from their magnetic placements. Whoa there, Ben. Easy. Geoff caught him by the shoulders, as he had known to brace himself properly beforehand. Still not used to micro-G are we? The old man chuckled, trying to save his younger friend and occasional chess opponent some embarrassment. Youll get used to it. Just be careful. Ben nodded, as he managed to collect the chess pieces that were starting to float away. I think Ill head over to the bar now, Ive been meaning to try my first adult beverage. Ben said quietly, unlatching the tether cable, and pressing the button. The cable spun back into the table and clicked in place as he let go. Thinking of this idea as though it were going to be an accomplishment, he looked around for the correct direction, oriented himself. Its hard to believe youre old enough to drink now. Try and go easy on it, alright? Ill see you tomorrow for a rematch. The old man said, as he began resetting the pieces back to their starting positions. Ben looked over to the man, who was now floating almost perpendicular to him, and put his hand up in gesture of a friendly goodbye. Seeya! He said, pushing off once the coast was clear. Moving past several people, his impatient mind chose to cut clear across the room, as opposed to taking the safe route with guide rails around the sides. Although cutting it close a couple of times, Ben managed to grab hold of a piece of railing just next to the central tunnel. Since his trajectory was miscalculated, the boy ended up several feet from the entrance, and had to pull himself the rest of the way. Finally making his way through the tunnels, he found himself drifting into the observation lounge where there were several people enjoying various drinks and having casual chit chats in groups. It was still an odd concept to him, to see people floating around above and below him, oriented all in different ways. This was the first time in Bens life that he had been in this sort of environment, and any experienced astronaut would notice him sticking out like a sore thumb. It would take him a while to adjust, and he had even been skipping some of his mandatory exercises, to keep his bodys physiology in line, almost as if he were making light of his situation. He had not worked for, or paid anything for his ticket aboard the ITS, afterall. Ill take I dunno, what do you recommend? The eighteen-year-old said, a little nervous as he spoke to one of the bar tenders. The tall man grinned, and tossed him a mysterious drink , which he failed to catch. Gee, thanks Just put it on my parents tab. The Wilsons. Ben said, not thinking before he shoved off to catch the container in his hands. As he grasped the unfamiliar container of alcohol, he found himself lost in gazing at the gorgeous view of Luna, and the Earth. For a moment, he slowly drifted, starting to think about how he had left everything hes ever known behind, to literally move out of the world. Before it hit him that he had lost control of his movement, he turned around to face the direction he was drifting just in time to slowly float right up against a stranger. Oh shit, Im so sorry! He said, frantically reaching out to steady himself. His orientation was upside down in comparison to her, and his face hit right against her thighs from behind. To top it all off, she was nude! Bens face quickly turned white as he had never seen a fully nude woman before in real life, nor did he realize that sort of thing is legal on the ITS. Her beautifully shaped bum was now inches from his face, which caused more panic, leading to him grabbing her side with his free hand. Her skin felt soft as he attempted to steady himself once more, reaching around to grope her stomach, not meaning to be a pervert, but having no other way to stop. For what felt like ages, his hand had been all over her stomach, and the side of her hip before he realized how weird the situation was. Looking downward toward the general direction of the ladys head, his inexperienced, puffy face smiled awkwardly. Hi, maam. The names Benedict Wilson. He said, somehow managing to not stare at her private areas for now.
