That seems to wake him up from his trance. "Thank you for the cookies!" he says, standing up abruptly, realising that his erection is totally noticeable through his sweatpants, and fleeing back into his room.

* This quest is part of Oliver Houston's seduction questline.

.......she wants that skill. It seems like it would solve her Itinerary Problem. However it only appears if she first solves it for herself the long way, which, well, is within what she's been led to expect.

She straightens up the kitchen. She hits Y. She can think of something, telling him 'come over here and kiss me' would do it and would not be exiting her comfort zone by more than a speck, but she can probably do better than that.

What things are both erotic and romantic. This is not obvious to her. They are, she agrees with popular consensus here, the sort of thing you want to bundle with the same person, but most actions are not definitively both? She's coming up with, like, "steamy kiss (erotic) in response to a brilliant remark while sitting in front of a sunset or something (romantic)", but that's an act and a context, not one act all by itself. Maybe she's overthinking this? Maybe she can find dance lessons on the internet since she has a high heeled dancing skill and demand that he waltz with her in the kitchen and make it sexy. ...that might be fun. She will presumably given the givens need to learn to lead, which she is mildly surprised to discover is not her native inclination, why is she a dom but not a lead, but it doesn't sound bad or anything.

She looks up waltz instructional videos, discovers they are not very sexy, switches to tango, and plays them quietly in her room with her heels on.

Oliver will nnnnnot come out of his room anytime soon.

Then she will have time to learn to tango! There's not a time limit on the quest, she can do it in the morning if he's holed up all evening. She expects her ero is high enough that she can find sexy and aesthetically pleasing tango music also when she gets that far.

Sexy and aesthetically pleasing tango music is actually really really easy to find. It's like it's a dance style made for being sexy and aesthetic. Sometimes people hold roses between their lips while dancing.

Also...

Quest available: The river made of silver

Ah, tango. So sexy, so gorgeous, so interesting, so...

...difficult. You can learn the very basics by watching YouTube videos but frankly some of that footwork looks fiendishly complicated. You might need professional help.

Thankfully, there's a tango school called "Río de la Plata" just a couple of blocks away from Oliver's house, and they're offering a free first lesson to newbies tomorrow at noon! ...well, "tomorrow", it's 2AM right now, but you know what we mean.

Go to that class and learn some moves.

Success: Unlock skill: Partner Dancing and subskill: Tango, increased High-Heeled Dancing skill level based on your performance, +500xp.
Failure: Status effect "Two Left Feet" active for 72h.
Accept: Y/N

Oh, nice. (...Oliver's sleep schedule is sure some kind of way, but conveniently she is Accurately Psychotic and things will simply not happen when she's asleep probably.) She accepts the quest, locates Río de la Plata on the map, and crashes for the night.

Update available: v1.7

It has come to the Erogame's attention that its current user interface is not Optimized™ for its present player. Version 1.7 will roll out the following changes:

• Less "incredibly concerning"^_* perk selection (but all the perks that you know and love will remain in the gamespace!)
• More clarity on the nature of certain possible game actions (try hovering over your stat points!)
• Roulette-style upgrade availability (available at your next level up!)†
• The ability to unlock new skins for the interface (you can try them out before confirming your choice!)

Download update? Y/N

* The Erogame does not warrant that it has become underlyingly less concerning in any respect. This is a UI change first and foremost. Not known to the state of California to cause cancer... that wouldn't be sexy.
† The quest rewards for "Don't Jump The Laser Gun" will also be altered to fit this new mechanic at your next level up.

If you can't trust the magical sexy video game that runs your life who can you trust. Y.

What's the thing with hovering over her stats, pray tell.

Here's her status screen:

Isabella Swan

"The Erogamer"

LVL: 4 (1,200 / 5,000)

 

Stats

DOM: 120 / 260

SUB: 10 / 120

 

BOD: 21 (+)

LST: 5 (+)

SED: 18 (+)

FUK: 8 (+)

PRV: 7 (+)

ERO: 35 19

Stat Points: 10

 

Status Effects: None

When she hovers a finger over BOD, she sees:

BOD / Body

Your physical attractiveness, and other biological capabilities. At higher levels, your body becomes able to enact more exotic erogame events.

A 21 in BOD makes you the prettiest person in a typical smallish room even when you aren't wearing makeup, which is always, or dressed up, which is almost always, but you might want to strategically cultivate an interest in those things because guess how this stat increases?

You can increase this stat through exhibitionism and other acts that invoke the pure beauty and power of your physical form.

Currently, this stat is still in the realm of the merely possible, even if improbable. Increasing it will make you look more like how you'd want to look, smoothing out any asymmetries, skin marks, unwanted (or wanted) hair, etc. Starting at BOD 30, you will begin to naturally look ways other people might need makeup—or Photoshop—to achieve, and starting at BOD 40 you will be able to enact supernatural feats with your body.

Supernatural feats is nonspecific - is this like, contortionism, or like acquiring chromatophores, or what. ...actually she wants chromatophores, now. Like she wants to not have them do anything obvious most of the time but it seems like it could be fun to fuck with, later.

What does LST say?

LST / Lust

The intensity of your sexual urges, and how easy it is to get you going.

At an LST of 5, you're totally capable of sexual attraction, but it's not running the show and it shuts up and sits down whenever you want, which is great for lots of goals, but not necessarily for the goal of having fun with the Erogame. And, to be clear here, having fun is how you win.

You gain in this stat while experiencing sexual urges that are unusually intense or that go on unusually long.

Increases to this stat will go towards making you more sensitive (or sensitive at all) primarily to any stimuli you specifically explicitly want to be more sensitive to, secondarily to things you might've agreed you'd want to be more sensitive to had you thought about them, and lastly to stimuli the Erogame expects might be generally common in your life. An LST of 10 would make you have average libido for women your (rough) age, and at 20 you would be unusually but not exceptionally horny.

Your maximum SUB total increases with this stat, and various skills' potencies are based on it.

Lots of things are generally common in her life! On a daily basis she like, looks out the window! It probably doesn't mean anything that stupid. Probably. How does this compare to PRV?

PRV / Perversion

Your descent into the world of naughtiness, fetish, deviance, and corruption.

Your PRV of 7 is unimpressively vanilla. You might be able to get kinky jokes, but only in the sense that you might get racist ones—nothing really outré speaks to you on an emotional level. But face it, this game would get really samey if you never bump this stat up at all. Whether it's whips and chains or whipped cream and chain of command is up to you.

You can increase this stat by looking for opportunities to get even kinkier.

Increases to this stat will go towards making you find hot primarily the things you want to find hot, secondarily the things you'd want to find hot had you thought about them, and lastly the things the Erogame expects might be generally common in your life. A PRV of 10 would make you be about as adventuresome as an average woman your (rough) age, and at 20 you would be about as adventuresome as an average woman your (rough) age in the Bay Area.

Your maximum SUB total increases with this stat, and various skills' potencies are based on it.

* For best results with your prvchases, you might want your LST to not lag too far behind PRV; otherwise, you risk encountering a situation that you thought would be hot but it ends up failing to actually make you wet at all.

"Rough" age is kind of a laugh. She is mere days old. "Effective" age might make more sense.

..."prvchases" gets a snicker.

SED?

SED / Seduction

Your ability to seduce others, to pique their interest and arouse their desire. Also, any interstitial or supporting skills in this endeavor.

An 18 in SED means that, in spite of your divisive personality and preference to be the pursued, you have access to diplomatic powers that would let you get past someone's initial unappealing presentation to learn more about them without winding up at an impasse, and if somebody else also really wants to be the pursued, the game does not need to come to a screeching halt.

You can increase this stat by arousing the romantic interest or sexual desire of others, and successfully pursuing them or being caught.

At this point, increases to this stat will mostly give you further insight into what people's body language and likely motivations imply about what they want and feel, as well as an intuition on how to act on it for best effect. If there are any subtleties of human behavior you wish to delve into, your improvements will tend to focus on those. At 30 SED, you will begin to surpass Sherlock Holmes in your ability to infer correct things from tiny details, and at 40, you will be able to pick up on tells and make leaps of intuition that would not be possible to normal humans running on vanilla physics.

Your maximum DOM total increases with this stat, and various skills' potencies are based on it.

Oh, she gets to bricks-without-clay. ...she has never read a Sherlock Holmes book, why can she make literary references. She supposes it is concordant with her general personality but she really needs to catch up on her reading.

FUK?

FUK / Fucking

Your ability to perform in bed and give others pleasure... or other sensations.

An 8 in FUK represents your virginity and lack of extended contingency planning, aka "fantasy life", but it's okay, some people are into that!

How do you increase this stat? Take a fucking guess.

Adding to this stat will at first equalize you with an average 21st-century woman from a sexually progressive society who has a normal amount of sexual experience; further upgrades will get you increasingly niche and specialized skills, including the attendant intuitions that allow you to apply those skills to individual humans. A FUK of 20 will make you someone who'd be widely considered "good in bed", and a FUK of 30 would make you competitive with high-class sex workers or sexually promiscuous people who take their sexual prowess as seriously as they would a job skill.

Your maximum DOM total increases with this stat, and various skills' potencies are based on it.

It'd be kinda convenient if it had a dropdown of what those skills were.

Current SED-based skills

Naked Towel: Lvl 1 (0 / 3). Passive.

A simple wrap of a towel ensures that it doesn't fall off, or reveal anything it shouldn't... unless something goes wrong, of course. +(2 x Skill Lvl)% = +2% to your effective SED and +(2 x Skill Lvl)% = +2% to a viewer's effective LST. These effects are additional to the mundane fact that people wearing towels are hot.

Add your Naked Towel skill level to your effective skill level in Wardrobe Malfunction (passive and active) while thus garbed.

* Note: Due to the perk My Mind to Control, the SED and LST effects can be independently toggled on and off by you at will.

Okay. She bets tangoing is SED-based too though.

And ERO?
