DISTRESSED DAMSELS: DANDELION HAIR vs. JUNGLE GIRL, pt.5
Added 2020-12-09 14:15:59 +0000 UTC(You can check out the previous installment of this story here.)
Wellp, I'm down to the last few commissioned DiD stories in proto-EMPOWERED format, folks! This one's from 2003 or thereabouts, based on a simple request from a very generous friend in a time of great financial need for Yrs Truly: Dirty Pair's Kei pitted against a fairly generic Jungle Girl in a cheesecake-intensive struggle session!
This incomplete episode wound up being surprisingly ambitious by this point in the story; delusional interludes and actual waterfall backgrounds (however sketchy) ahoy! Wasn't exactly knocking myself out about properly figuring out how Kei's body would've draped over that rock, though.
Beyond the pure cheesecake aspect, though, this part of the story did play up an in-continuity aspect of my version of the DP—namely, that bold 'n' brash Kei has a streak of vulnerability that the seemingly "softer" and more demure (but actually steelier) Y**i wholly lacks.
Next week, Kei rants extensively!
TOMORROW ON THIS HERE PATREON: Running a bit behind on scanning my old Dirty Pair portfolio pieces, so I'll likely post some older Empowered-related material in Thursday's open slot.

I do quite like the Rose idea, even if it does seem a tad demure for a Kei "nom de détresse."

2020-12-10 14:45:50 +0000 UTCMy theory is that the Jungle Girl is actually the Hushed Half Elf's mage girlfriend, since they look similar, IIRC. Also, I figure Rose would be the logical name for knock off Kei, by analogy to Lily for Yuri and because she's red on top and a bit prickly. I figure the sim people want to avoid the fate that befell Studio Proteus over that issue of Buxom Babes, so they probably have a whole group of "totally original characters" like Lily, Rose, Carrie Westinghouse, and Sashti, and modders just offer a patch to switch the names for the real ones, like happens with unlicensed sports games with fake rosters.
