"What in the hell?" Edmond stared at the absolute chaos in what had once been one of the mansion's most quiet, peaceful living rooms with a shocked expression, Olivine behind him bemused as well.

Eiden's head popped out of the undisturbed sea of plastic balls, a big grin stretching from cheek to cheek. "Edmond, Olivine! Join us!"

"Us?"

Aster and Morvay's heads also popped out of the balls, alongside Garu and Blade.

"Of course it's you five," Edmond pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration, while Olivine chuckled fondly behind him. "We have important business-"

"One of us, one of us," Eiden quietly cheered, the others joining in as they managed to move their way towards Edmond and Olivine. They looked for all the world like little sharks.

Morvay and Aster were the first to reach Edmond, and they dragged him kicking and screaming into the ball pit, Morvay at his arms and Aster grabbing his ankles. They worked hard to submerge the fighting knight in the balls, until only his hands and feet could be seen.

Eiden turned to Olivine, who was watching the proceedings with an amused smile. "Will we be forced to drag you in as well, your holiness?"

The priest chuckled, carefully stepping over the little barrier separating balls from the corridor. "I think I would prefer to enter of my own volition." He smiled brightly at Eiden, who couldn't help but laugh as well.

"Yeah, I think Fighty McFightPants figured that out."

"So how did you even-"

"AACK! RELEASE MEHEHE!" Edmond's shrill scream interrupted the two's conversation, and they whirled around to see that the knight had been attempting to leave the pit. Aster, however, had managed to grab him, manicured nails skittering all over a trapped foot that had lost a boot. Morvay, as usual, wasn't far behind the vampire, quickly grabbing Edmond under the arms and going to town. "NOHOHO!"

"Ooh, are we playing?" Blade perked up, pouncing on Garu. "Come on, Garu-Garu!"

As Blade and Garu started a (one-sided) tickle fight, balls flying everywhere from flailing arms and legs, Eiden turned to Olivine with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"O~livine~," he sang quietly, and an involuntary smile tugged at the priests lips.

"Yeah?"

"I'm~ gonna~ tickle~ you~"

"Is that so?"

Eiden grinned, but then his mouth opened in shock as a green ball hit him gently in the nose. Olivine laughed as he waded carefully away, the noise practically lost in the noise surrounding him.

Eiden cursed himself internally, too busy screaming to do it externally.

To be fair, Blade had been programmed to feel pain and pleasure, so it wouldn't have been too far of a stretch to imagine he had been programmed to be ticklish as well. However, Eiden had thought wrong, and as much as Blade enjoyed his books about sex, it appears he had also read some about tickling.

"Darling - I read that this spot is sensitive!" The e-droid chirped happily, digging the fingers on one hand into Eiden's armpit. Despite his slim frame, Blade was surprisingly strong, one hand managing to pin both of Eiden's wrists against the wall behind him. To be fair, he had been made that way, but sue Eiden for forgetting Blade was not quite human.

He was getting punished enough for that anyway.

"BLAHAHADE!" He wailed as inhumanly quick fingers wrecked havoc on his torso, thrashing in the e-droid's hold. He shrieked as Blade released his hands to tickle both armpits, the droid watching curiously as Eiden's hands slammed down and he curled in on himself, like a turtle. "DOHOHON'T!!"

"Darling is so cute when he's laughing," Blade grinned innocently, sharp teeth contrasting his sweet face, He paused at Eiden's request, tapping his fingers gently against the sensitive skin. "Where else is darling sensitive? ~"

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

🖤 In my head Blade was not made to be ticklish. Like he may have been programmed for pain and pleasure but tickling is just not in that roster.

🖤 So obviously Blade is very curious about ticklishness because he can't experience it and as such as soon as he finds someone who is ticklish it is sciencey time baybee let's see what this actually is!

🖤 Of course the typical problems of robot trying to figure out humans occurs - he can go too far sometimes, not out of any maliciousness, just pure naivety to the human body and it's reactions. However, that also means that he's hyper-aware of any 'dont's and 'stop's, so some more fighty lees have to choke down their embarrassment to get what they want.

🖤 Eiden becomes his guide to the fighting lee and shows him when he should stop or when to tell when someone's actually enjoying themselves even when they deny it.

🖤 Has superior strength because, well, e-droid. Not quite as strong as Quincy, but enough to subdue a fighters wrists with one hand.

🖤 Probably spews out random facts about ticklishness he learned from books whenever he thinks it's appropriate. Also will unintentionally tease which is worse than intentional teases somehow

🖤 Thinks it's very cute when the word 'tickle' flusters people. Also thinks it's very cute and fun to discuss tickling openly and watch people go red and try to escape the conversation.
