Flicker Feather has a few shiny new tickle tools he wants to test out. Luckily, Princess Twilight Sparkle is happy to volunteer herself for the pursuit of science.

This story contains a lot of loving tickle torture, foot fetishy fun, and orgasm denial between Twilight Sparkle and an Original Character. With Twilight being at the receiving end of the tickles.

I kept thinking about the story he commissioned me to do, and I really liked the concept he came up with of my OC and his OC running a kinky business in a tavern for ponies to act out their devious desires and fun fantasies.

So, I decided to do another story in that same universe starring his OC, cause it's a gift for him, of course. I guess this is more of a side-story than a sequel.

Here, Princess Twilight comes along and asks for a very exhausting, but fun tickle and tease session. Flicker Feather is the lucky stallion that gets to test all the new toys he has on her.

Sparkling Feather

On the outskirts of Canterlot stood a tavern with just the right amount of popularity. Famous enough to turn in a profit every day, but not to the point where the place was crowded and unruly. As the sun started to set, more and more customers came in to either celebrate the joys of life, or drown their sorrows away.

Seated at their usual spots in the back were two stallions: Flicker Feather the golden earth pony, and Dreamy Daze the white pegasus. Both of them experts in working out the kinks that ponies had. Ponies had often come to the tavern just because they provided the specific sexual services that nopony else could. Even the princesses stopped by on occasion as clients.

However, today was turning out to be a rather slow day for them. Not many clients had come around for their services. Not that Dreamy minded the lack of action, he had his feet propped up on the table, deciding to nap the rest of evening away, able to stay in his slumber despite the constant noise of the tavern.

“...You’re really gonna take a nap while the sun’s setting, huh?” Flicker asked, not expecting an answer.

Dreamy’s ears flicked in response, mumbling something about Princess Celestia in his sleep.

Flicker impatiently tapped his fingers against the table. It wasn’t the lack of action that was getting him ticked off, days like these happened every now and again, but whenever there was a lull in action, Dreamy was out like a light before he knew it, and he was always the one who had to stay nearby in case a client happened to come in. He could always go over to the bar and grab a drink, but he wished that just once he could take a nap or a break instead of Dreamy. He eyed his friend’s shoes, slowly wiggling back and forth. He was probably far enough into his nap that he could pick him up, carry him to one of the back rooms, strap him down, remove his shoes and socks, give his feet a coating of that new bottle that they just got, and-

Before Flicker could finish his revenge fantasy, two ponies approached their table. Flicker quickly elbowed Dreamy in the ribs to jostle him awake.

“Aaah! Wha? Huh? Who!?” Dreamy jolted awake, his heels banging against the table, though only a few of the tavern patrons bothered turning around to look at the sudden shouting.

“Hello there, ladies, what can we do for you?” Flicker said, greeting the two.

“Hello, gentlemen. Are you two busy?” One of them asked.

Dreamy quickly recovered from his sudden awakening. “Oh, Twilight, Pinkie!” he said, sliding his feet back under the table. “Good to see you two here…” He rubbed his eyes, trying to wake himself up mentally.

“Hi Dreamy! Hi Flicker!” Pinkie Pie said, grinning ear to ear. “I think you know what we’re here for!”

“Right, well, do you need us to set up a room for the two of you alone, or do you need us more involved than that?” Flicker asked.

“Actually, we just bumped into each other outside,” Twilight explained. “We’re here for completely separate purposes.”

“Ok, so separate rooms, then?”

The two mares nodded.

“Not a problem,” Flicker nodded, before turning to Pinkie Pie “So, Pinkie, what do you wanna do?”

“Oh, the usual, please!” Pinkie said, rubbing her hands together in devious delight.

“I figured as much, what about you, Princess? What sort of fun would you like to have tonight?”

“Well…I was hoping that you guys had something new that you could use on me. Maybe a new bondage setup or tool...anything like that?” Twilight said, already starting to blush. “If not, I’d be fine with a little...experimentation and testing.”

“Oh, I think that there’s something we can do to satisfy the both of you,” Flicker said, ideas of experiments already running through his mind.

The four briefly discussed pricing, and made the payment without any hassle.

“So, any preference as to which one of us you want? Doesn’t matter to us either way,” Dreamy said, looking Pinkie Pie in the eyes, his right wing extending behind Flicker Feather, doing a few quick flaps in his direction. Dreamy’s wing folded back before Flicker turned to notice.

“Um...I’m fine with whatever you two want to do,” Twilight said with a shrug. Pinkie Pie just giggled at Dreamy’s lack of subtlety.

Flicker and Dreamy turned their heads, looking into each other’s eyes. There was plenty of chatter and ambient music that drowned out the faint sound of fists smacking palms three times.

Flicker threw his fist out towards Dreamy’s direction, getting poked by two of Dreamy’s fingers. Flicker let out a smirk on the side of his face that wasn’t facing the mares.

Dreamy’s reaction was far less subtle, giving Flicker a low growl as they both turned to face their next clients. “Alright, well, I guess we’ll play together Pinkie,” he said, trying to hide the dread in his voice.

“Ooh, that’s great! I’ve been working on this one technique that I’ve been trying to perfect…” Pinkie grinned, grabbing Dreamy by the wrists and pulling him into one of the back rooms.

“Friggin’ scissors…” Dreamy muttered to himself as he was dragged away.

“Well, Twilight, I think you’ll be very happy being the test subject of some of the new toys we’ve gotten,” Flicker said, standing up. “If you’d follow me, I’ll start setting you up.”

Flicker lead Twilight to the other back room. The right side of the room had shelves and drawers, each containing an organized array of tools like toothbrushes, paintbrushes, spiked wheels, oils, lotions, potions, gags, and blindfolds. At a glance, it was near-impossible to tell if anything new was added to the ever-growing collection of tools, even for repeat customers.

The left side had several sets of bondage furniture, from the familiar and simple stocks, to more elaborate bondage seats and frames. Many of which Twilight and Flicker were very familiar with through multiple sessions.

“I’ll be setting you up in this, we just got it a couple of days ago.” Flicker gestured to one of the seats that didn’t show any signs of wear or use.

The design shared similarities to a dentist’s chair, with the gray cushion being a significant distance off the floor. The seat itself had obvious sectioning so that the seat adjusted, presumably to either lay someone flat or have them on a more relaxing recline. Hanging down from the sides were several straps for added restraint if the situation called for it. At one end of the seat were built-in padded stocks for the ankles, and at the other, a set of straps wrapped around the end for the arms, just to clear up any confusion of how to orient the victim. Though if one was inclined to do so, putting someone in upside-down was completely viable.

“Now, before I put you into this, do you mind removing your clothes?” Flicker asked.

“Oh, of course,” Twilight nodded.

Twilight sat down in one of the other bondage setups, slipping off her flats. As she began taking off her socks, she caught Flicker gazing down at her feet. Before Twilight looked back up, he quickly began looking at the wall, thinking she hadn’t noticed. Once her shoes and socks were off, she waited for Flicker to try and sneak a peek again. Once she caught him, she lifted up her feet and wiggled her toes in his face.

Flustered, Flicker turned his whole body away as Twilight laughed. He decided to go to the shelves to prepare as Twilight took the rest of her clothes off. He returned to the now naked Twilight, concealing his equipment from her view. The one thing Twilight could make out properly was a clipboard.

Flicker assisted Twilight into the new bondage furniture. He wanted to make sure she was comfortable, yet secured, as their session was meant to be long-term. Her wings were bound together, her feet locked in the stocks, her toes tied back, her arms raised above her head, and a ring was slipped on her horn to suppress her magic. A few more straps were put on her legs and arms for extra security. The chair adjusted to lay Twilight down on a gentle recline, her feet slightly propped up.

“First, a warm-up. I need to get your normal reactions to tickling, just so we have something to base all our tests off of.”

“Alright. I’m ready.” Twilight said, her body tensing up from the anticipation.

Flicker started his testing at Twilight’s armpits, his fingers gently stroking at the exposed hollows.

Twilight immediately broke out in a wide grin, shortly followed by slowly building laughter the longer Flicker’s fingers stayed at her armpits.

As Flicker continued, the anticipation of the tickling went away, and Twilight started giving Flicker her genuine reactions to the tickling.

Flicker tried his best to keep his fingers wiggling at the same speed, resisting the temptation to dig his fingers into her sides, or to blow a raspberry on her bare belly to make her squeal. Perhaps in a future session, he could have some unrestrained fun on a restrained Twilight, but tonight, he had to be as consistent as possible.

The armpit focus alone was enough to make Twilight buck her hips. Flicker had picked such a hot spot to start out with. Short gasps for air interrupted her fit of hysterics as her arms shook.

Flicker made sure to rigorously go through Twilight’s ticklish areas. From her armpits, he went to her breasts, then nipples, ribs, wings, sides, hips, stomach, navel, thighs, and cutie mark. He would tickle for three minutes, then give Twilight a thirty second break to catch her breath, then move on to the next spot. Previous sessions with the princess gave Flicker a relative idea of what spots were more ticklish than others, but Twilight asked for experimentation, so he had to be thorough.

Twilight caught on quickly that Flicker was trying to give each part of her body an equal amount of time. Not that figuring that out helped her much, she was still helpless to his fingers no matter what she did. Each spot Flicker tested elicited a different reaction from Twilight. Attacking her breasts made her moan and giggle, her wings made her squeal. her sides made her jump, her navel made her yelp, her cutie mark made her jolt and shiver. She appreciated the regular breaks, even though predicting when the tickling would resume made her tense with anticipation each time when Flicker’s fingers approached her body once more.

Flicker finally made his way down to Twilight’s feet. And he gave them the same amount of attention that he gave her upperbody: testing the toes, between and under, the balls of the foot, arches, soles, and heel. Though there was a noticeably shorter break interval between.

Twilight’s toes tried curling once she saw Flicker move to her feet. She barely had time to prepare herself before it started up once again, sending her into more helpless laughter. “Nooohohohoho! N-Not my feeheeheeheeheet! Eeeheehahahaha!” She said, protesting out of habit rather than actual complaint.

To finish his testing, Flicker went back to Twilight’s armpits, just to make sure that her reactions were consistent with her reactions at the start. To his delight, they were, but a few more minutes of armpit tickling definitely wouldn’t hurt.

Tears started to form, dripping down Twilight’s cheeks as Flicker returned to her armpits. Her arms jerked against the straps in an involuntary attempt to defend herself as her body tried to twist itself away.

After the preliminary testing was done, Flicker ducked away from Twilight’s sight to prepare the first test, taking his time so he could give her another break. He began writing down notes on the clipboard of Twilight’s reactions, even after tonight, they would come in handy as reference for the future.

Flicker slipped a glove on his left hand, each fingertip and palm had a round vibrator, with a dial on the back of the hand. On his right hand, he slipped on rings, each one with a pointed claw-like tip that extended past his fingers. “Now, Princess. I will need your full cooperation for this. I’m going to need you to tell me what tickles more: the sensations on your left foot, or the sensations on your right foot? I need you to answer to the best of your abilities,” he explained, hiding his smirk behind Twilight’s feet.

The implications behind Flicker’s last sentence sent a tingle down Twilight’s spine. “I understand,” she said, her toes curling against the string used to tie them back.

Flicker turned the dial on his glove to the first setting, his fingers emitting a low hum with the vibrations. He put his fingertips to Twilight’s right heel, letting the vibrators do the work for them. On Twilight’s left foot, the claw tips began to gently scratch at the heel.

Twilight initially gasped in shock, before the inevitable laughter set in. There was no contest on what tickled more. “AAAHAAAHAHAHAAA! L-Left foot! D-Dehehefinitely the left foot!”

Flicker moved his hands up Twilight’s feet, where he could get more surface area to work with. The vibrators spread out across her arch, the claws swiped horizontally on the other foot.

“S-Stihihihihill the leheheheft!”

Flicker turned the dial to its next setting, the buzzing at his fingertips creating a slightly higher-pitched frequency. He placed his gloved hand against Twilight’s arch once more.

Twilight yelped. It was getting difficult to decide, as both sides received different, but equally torturous sensations. It took a few seconds of squirming in her seat before she finally gave her answer. “Hehehehaaa! L-Leheheft!”

Flicker turned the dial up one more setting, and tested Twilight’s arches one more time with both the vibrators and claws, curious to see if Twilight would change her answer.

Twilight had difficulty deciding on the previous setting. There was no doubt in her mind what tickled more this time. The claws had consistently been worse with how they just dug into her sensitive foot with each scratch, but the difference between speed two and speed three was drastic on her feet. “RIIIIHIHIHIHIGHT! RIGHT RIGHT RIIIIGHT!”

Just to make sure, Flicker crossed his arms over, letting the vibrators work on Twilight’s left foot, while scratching away at her right. “And now?”

“LEEEHEHEHEHEFT!”

Flicker continued to experiment, trying out the various spots on Twilight’s feet, switching between speed two and three to see if the vibrators were more effective in general, or if it was the speed that tipped Twilight over the edge. He found through a very long session of testing that her toes were more sensitive to the vibrators, but between and underneath her toes, the claws were more effective. Flicker had to set the dial to speed four in order to get Twilight to say the vibrators tickled more. To keep Twilight from getting too used to the sensations of both the vibrators and the claws, he swapped feet on occasion.

Of course, half of this test depended on Twilight being able to provide an answer. Flicker had spent the most of his time at Twilight’s toes for good reason. Deciding which tools tickled more was the easy part. The challenge came from being composed enough to say a single-syllable word.

Once Flicker was done, he took off the gloves and rings. “Excellent. You’ve given me a lot of good data, Twilight. I’m glad to see that both tools are proving effective.” He smiled, writing down more notes.

“Ah...haha...g-glad to help…” Twilight said, her toes twitching as she caught her breath, shivering with a hint of arousal from the intense tickling.

“Now, for the next test... I’m sure that you’re aware of Silksoft Lotion. I know that you’ve been very familiar with the effectiveness of their products. Well, because of the customer loyalty Dreamy and I have shown to them, well, we’ve been given a very special bottle, specifically made with us in mind. I’m sure that you know what that means.”

Twilight’s eyes briefly widened upon hearing the news. “O-oh, really?”

“However, we have yet to try it out, so we need to know if it works, and how well it works. Feel free to give me whatever feedback you can think of during the test.” Flicker said, slipping on some disposable latex gloves.

“Got it.” Twilight wiggled in her seat. The idea of Silksoft making a special product for Flicker and Dreamy made her simultaneously nervous and giddy at just how sensitive it could potentially make her.

Flicker grabbed the bottle and squeezed some of the oil onto his hand, and started rubbing it onto Twilight’s left foot, his palm spreading it out across her sole.

Twilight shivered a bit at the oil being applied, she relaxed her body, trying to enjoy the extended break between ticklings.

Flicker followed up by rubbing the oil in with his thumbs, pressing into Twilight’s foot with his thumbs and rubbing in small circles, starting at the heel, moving up the arch, and ending right below her toes.

“Oooh…that’s soooo good...” Twilight shuddered, closing her eyes. When Flicker pressed his thumbs in just the right spot, like at the center of her arch, she let out a sigh of delight. She wouldn’t have minded if the rest of her session was more of Flicker’s expert massages, but that wasn’t what she paid good money for. The blush stayed on her cheeks, the care and love given to her feet keeping her turned on.

Flicker added a little more to his hand, slipping his fingers between her toes to make sure the oil was properly applied to all areas.

Twilight suddenly snapped out of her trance, giggling. “Eeeheeheeheehee! Hey! Y-You’re tihihickling on p-purpose!”

“I assure you I’m not, Twilight. I’m simply applying the mix to your foot.” Flicker explained.

“S-Sorry!”

“No need to apologize. This, however, is me tickling on purpose.” Flicker grinned, before quickly spidering his fingers down her sole.

“GAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!”

Once the oil was generously applied to one foot, Flicker took out two electric toothbrushes. “Well, I see promising results so far, but I think we should make sure, don’t you agree?”

Twilight’s toes instinctively curled up when she saw the toothbushes. “Y-Yes! W-we should!” she said, her wings twitching against the straps.

“I’m glad you agree, Twilight,” Flicker smirked, turning one of the toothbrushes on. “Remember, just give me your honest feedback turing this test.” Flicker pressed the vibrating bristles against the ball of Twilight’s right foot, still untouched by the oil.

Twilight was already trembling when she heard the whirring. Once the toothbrush made contact with her foot, her trembling turned into thrashing. “Eeeeeheehahahahahaaaaa!”

Flicker began moving the brush around Twilight’s foot, trying to move in straight lines from Twilight’s heel all the way up her arch to her toes.

Twilight started to sweat as the bristles made their way up her foot. Helpless to stop the toothbrush, she shut her eyes tight and waited for the inevitable.

Flicker held the toothbrush against each individual toe, letting the bristles do their work before moving onto the next.

“NAAAHAAHAHA! IT TIHIHIHIHICKLES SO BAHAHAD!” Twilight’s fingers clawed at the air above her head.

Flicker turned off the toothbrush, setting it down to write down more notes. Now that Flicker had a good baseline, Flicker moved onto Twilight’s left foot, where he turned on the other toothbrush, putting it against the ball of her foot.

Twilight exploded into hysterics, her violent thrashing now starting to rock the chair she was strapped to. “AAAHAHAHA! NAHAHAAAAHAHA HAAAHAHAHA! NOOOHOHOHO! T-TOO MUCH! TOO MUCH! STOP STOP STAHAHAHAHAP!”

Ignoring Twilight’s protests, Flicker followed up by bringing the toothbrush between her toes.

Twilight kept trying to kick her legs, curl her soles, wiggle her toes, anything to give her some sense of control over the situation, but Flicker had tied the string around her toes well enough that her feet could do little more than twitch as Flicker slowly ran the toothbrush across her toes.

Impressed by the results, Flicker decided to give Twilight’s other foot some of the oil as well. He squirted some on his hands, quickly rubbing it into her right foot.

Twilight felt Flicker rubbing the oil onto her other foot, she knew what was coming next, but her head hung low, still trying to catch her breath, unable to stop him. Sweat, tears, and a little bit of drool dripped down from her face.

Flicker turned on both toothbrushes, placing them against Twilight’s big toes without a second thought.

Twilight opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out. Her body trembled, chest rapidly rising and falling, but her laughter was completely silent. The only sound in the room being the high-pitched buzzing of the bristles against Twilight’s toes.

Flicker looked up in surprise, but he didn’t retract the toothbrushes. He was curious to see if he just hit Twilight’s breaking point.

It took a while, but Twilight’s breath eventually came back. First it was a tiny gasp, then a squeak, then Twilight finally managed to get enough air in her lungs to let out a scream. “AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA! NOOOOOO!”

Flicker smirked to himself, sliding the toothbrushes all the way to her pinkie toes. He certainly didn’t think that the oil would be so effective.

“WAITWAITWAITWAIT! STAHAHAHAHAP! PLEHEHEHEAASE! HAHAHEHEHEHAHAHAAAA! STAHAAAHAAAAHAHA!” Twilight begged, gasping for air between laughs.

Flicker suddenly gasped in surprise. “Ah! Twilight, I completely forgot! I’m so sorry!” he exclaimed, slapping the side of his head, turning off the toothbrushes.

“H-Huh?” Twilight blinked in surprise, she didn’t expect Flicker to actually stop, but what did he possibly forget?

“It completely slipped my mind until just now, but we didn’t just get one new mix to test with, we received two.”

“T-two?” Twilight thought that the first bottle of oil was made to increase ticklishness, what other specific purpose could Flicker and Dreamy need?

“Yes, so now I need to clean your feet off so I can test the second bottle. I apologize, I’ll be back shortly.” Flicker quickly left the room, shutting the door behind him.

Once Twilight was left alone, she shuddered in fear. The first oil was overwhelmingly effective at increasing her sensitivity to literal breathtaking levels. Was the second one meant to serve the same purpose? Twilight was so lightheaded, she couldn’t think of any other possibilities.

Flicker came back with a scrubbing brush, towel, a bottle, and a bucket of soapy water, sitting back down at Twilight’s feet. “This won’t take long,” Flicker said dipping the brush in the water.

Twilight gasped, not prepared mentally or physically for what was about to come. “W-wait! Isn’t there another way we c-”

Twilight’s begging quickly turned into a babbling mess of gibberish as Flicker began cleaning the oil off her feet. She didn’t go into silent laughter like before, but it was arguably worse with the scrubbing brush covering more area at once.

Thankfully, the torture was mercifully short, and the tickling effect lessened when her feet were clean of the oil.

After Flicker dried off Twilight’s feet, Flicker grabbed the second bottle, and started rubbing the contents on Twilight’s right foot.

Twilight tried to relax as Flicker rubbed her feet again, but the possibilities and potential effects this new oil could have on her feet kept her on edge.

After cleaning off the toothbrushes, Flicker turned one of them on again, putting it against the ball of Twilight’s right foot, curious to see what kind of effect the oil would have.

“Gaaahahahahaaaahaha! O-Oooohhh!” It definitely tickled more than usual, which was what Twilight expected, but she also felt a surprising amount of arousal. This session had definitely been turning her on before, but this oil seemed to drive her libido up, and she immediately wanted more.

Flicker was caught off-guard by Twilight’s sudden moan, briefly pulling the toothbrush away in confusion. He pressed the bristles underneath Twilight’s toes, wondering if he’d get a similar reaction.

Twilight shivered, the toothbrush at her toes tickled like crazy, making her ankles shake in the stocks, but for whatever reason, it just felt so much better than before. “Ooohoohoohooo...d-don’t stop! HehehaHAHAHA! Aaaahahahahaaaa!”

Just to make sure, Flicker brought the other toothbrush to Twilight’s left foot to see if he could get the same reactions as before.

“Yaaaahaha! W-waaaiiit! Gobackgobackgobahahahaaack!” Twilight begged, rubbing her thighs together to try and stimulate herself.

Intrigued, Flicker moved past Twilight’s feet, ready to apply the second oil to Twilight’s upperbody. He tipped the bottle over, letting it drizzle across her breasts and belly before rubbing and spreading it evenly across her body.

Twilight shivered as the cool oil dripped down, already giggling at Flicker’s light touch. She felt his hands stop rubbing the oil in at the hips, just shy of where she wanted the most attention.

With the oil rubbed into her upperbody, Flicker got to work, skittering his fingers across her oiled belly, his fingers squeezing her sides and skittering across her belly, with the occasional dip into her navel just for fun.

“Heheha! M-Mohohohore! P-Plehehehease! Ohhhh!”

Flicker grabbed two dark blue feathers by the quills. With one in each hand, he started teasing Twilight’s tits, first stroking underneath her breasts, before sliding the long feathers into her cleavage.

Twilight struggled to keep focus, she was starting to get lightheaded again, but for different reasons.

“Interesting…” Flicker said to himself, keeping his focus on Twilight breasts. He used the tips of the feathers to tease around her breasts, before laying them sideways, sawing the vanes against her stiff nipples.

Only giggly moans came out of Twilight’s mouth. She closed her eyes and arched her back as far as she could, her wings twitching in excitement as she could feel her orgasm getting closer and closer...

Seeing as this new oil managed to double as an aphrodisiac, Flicker had a flash of inspiration. He pulled his hands away, laying the feathers down on Twilight’s lap.

“Wha-huh? H-Hey! C’mon! Can’t you keep testing for just like, one more minute?” Twilight pleaded. So close, and yet so far…

Flicker wrote all that he could down on the clipboard about the oils. “You’ve been very helpful so far, Twilight. I can tell that you’re quite close to an orgasm. I can give you that release you want, but we just need to complete one final test. Sound good?”

“Yes!” Twilight blurted out. “I-I mean, yes, please...I want it so bad…” Twilight eagerly nodded, weakly thrusting her hips as if to show off how needy she was.

“I figured you’d agree,” Flicker smirked. He walked to the shelves to grab the last tool he’d need. To businesses and advertisers, it was a cordless wand massager.

To everyone else, it was a battery-powered vibrator.

“Alright, Twilight, rather than me testing tools this time, I’ll be testing you. If you answer all three of these simple math questions correctly, you’ll be granted that orgasm you desperately crave. But that should be easy for someone as smart as you, right? Oh, and there will be a penalty for incorrect guesses, of course, so I suggest some thorough thinking on your part.”

“A-alright…” Twilight was wary. Aside from the guessing penalty, there had to be some sort of catch somewhere...

Flicker turned on the vibrator at the lowest setting, placing it between Twilight’s legs, keeping it secure with one of the straps. It was close enough to rub against Twilight’s vulva, but far enough to do nothing more than tease her.

Twilight let out a shaky, frustrated whine, the teasing buzzing only making her crave that orgasm more. She tried wiggling her hips as much as the straps allowed, but nothing got her closer to what she wanted.

Grabbing the large feathers once more, Flicker went back to feathering Twilight’s nipples. “First question: What’s the square root of one-thousand and ten?”

A fairly easy question for Twilight to calculate. Answering it proved a little more difficult. Each little swipe across her nipples made her moan, clouding her mind just a bit and interrupting her answer. “Thirty-Gaaaah! Thir-Ooohoohoo! Thirty-Yaaahaha! T-Thirty-one point seven eight zero f-four niiiine s-seven two! Aaahaaahahahahaaa...”

Flicker didn’t actually know if Twilight was correct, but it’s not like the first question was meant to trip her up. “Second question: What is the value of x if x is 2 mod 3, 3 mod 7, and 5 mod 9?”

Twilight grit her teeth. X is 3a + 2, which is 3 mod 7… “F-Fifty-nine!” Twilight shouted out, not taking the luxury to double check her mental work. Just one more answer and she would get her reward...

Again, Flicker didn’t actually know the answer, he just wanted to make Twilight squirm a bit and think while he edged her. “And for the final question…” Flicker put the feathers down, using his fingers to dig into her armpits. ”...What number am I thinking of?”

“OHOHOHOHO COME OOOOON!”

“That’s not a number, now you better guess right, or you’re not getting that orgasm I know you want so badly. I’ll be nice and give you a hint: It’s a number between one and one-hundred. I’m not going to cheat you by thinking of ‘two and three-eighths’, so start guessing.”

Twilight let out a frustrated growl between her laughter. That was the catch, and if she didn’t get it right first try, there’d be consequences that she hoped she wouldn’t have to experience. “Eeehahaha! F-Fifty?”

Flicker shook his head. “Nope. Sorry, Twilight…” Flicker went back to the first bottle of Silksoft, dripping the oil down on her armpits, digging back in immediately.

“No! Nonononono NOOAAAHAHAHAHAAA!” Twilight’s entire body jumped as high as it could. After a gasp of air, she blurted out her next guess. “Forty-seven!”

“Wrong again, Twilight,” Flicker smirked, thinking of how to penalize her. He eyed up and down her body, before moving down to her cutie marks. Two quick squirts of oil later, and soon he was teasing the little stars on her butt with his fingers.

The slow buzzing of the vibrator frustrated Twilight as much as it stimulated her. Flicker clearly planned this trap, what sort of number would he think of that she wouldn’t try to guess? “HAHAHAHAAAAHAAAA! O-ONE?”

Flicker chuckled. “I was considering doing that, but not this time. Good guess though. Not good enough to get you to cum, though...” To penalize her this time, Flicker slipped on the vibrating gloves, setting the dial to the second level, and placing his hand against her cutie mark.

The ticklish sensations were intense enough that the vibrator against Twilight’s pussy barely registered with her. If Twilight didn’t get it right soon, she’d be laughing too hard to even guess. “WAAAAHAHAHA! O-ONE HUNDRED!?

“Nnnnope.” Flicker turned the dial to the next setting, the vibrations from his hand getting even faster.

Twilight might have been able to rationalize that Flicker had a limit to how much he could punish her, and it couldn’t possibly get worse after a point even if she went through all one-hundred numbers.

She might have been able to figure that out, were she not being tickled out of her mind at the moment. “MERCIIIEEEHEHEEEHEEHEEEHEE! AAAAAAAAAHAAAHAAAAA! TWENTY-SIX!?”

“Try again, Twi.” Flicker picked up one of the electric toothbrushes, turning it on and letting it bristle on Twilight’s left cutie mark.

“S-SEHAHAHAHAHA! HEEHEEHAHAHAHAHAH! NOOHOHOHOHAHAHAHA! S-SEHAHAHAAGH! SEVENTY-TWO!?” Twilight managed to scream out, praying that seventy-two was the answer.

“...Lucky guess.” Flicker shrugged. It was pretty impressive she got it on the sixth try.

He grabbed the vibrator and pushed it closer to Twilight’s crotch, finally letting it do more than just tease. Just to speed up the process, he started tickling Twilight’s feet again, skittering his fingers up and down her oily soles. “Congrats, Twi. You’ve earned it.”

“THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUUUUUU! AAAAAHAHAHAAAAA!” It didn’t take long for Twilight to orgasm, but after being teased and denied for so long, it was more than satisfying to finally climax. Her body lay limp on the chair, physically and mentally drained.

After her orgasm, Flicker quickly got Twilight a drink of cold water, and gently patted the oil off her body with a towel rather than scrubbing it away. “So, you like the new toys we got?” He asked as he started undoing the straps, slipping the ring off Twilight’s horn.

Twilight gave Flicker a weak chuckle. “Ah...haha...They’re...very effective…You and Dreamy are gonna get good use out of them, I’m sure…”

“I’d hope so.” Flicker picked up the clipboard, showing Twilight all the notes he took. “It may not be the exact kind of science you’re used to, but I think these were successful experiments.”

“Heh, that’s gonna be used against me in the future, isn’t it?” Twilight smiled, reading over a few of them with a bit of embarrassment.

“Hey, it never hurts to have notes nearby when working with repeat customers.” Flicker playfully shrugged.

“Well, I just might have to do the same,” Twilight teased.

After getting Twilight cleaned up, out of the chair, and into her clothes, the two walked out of the room. Twilight leaned on Flicker for support, still feeling a tingling in her feet whenever she took a step.

“I wonder when Pinkie and Dreamy will be done…” Twilight thought aloud.

As if on cue, the door next to them sprung open, and Pinkie Pie bounded out, as energetic as ever.

“Wow! That was the most fun I’ve had yet! Maybe I’ll pop by tomorrow for another session!” Pinkie winked at Flicker. “So, how was your session, Twilight?”

Twilight smiled weakly. “It was...very informative, I’d say.”

“Oooh, maybe you’ll inform me on the way back to Ponyville!”

“Heh, maybe I will. See you soon, Flicker. Maybe next time I come by, you’ll have some more experiments to run,” Twilight said with a wink as she walked out with Pinkie.

“I’ll see what I can do. See you girls later!” Flicker waved the two goodbye.

As Pinkie and Twilight started to leave, Dreamy Daze came out the door in nothing but his heart underwear, the rest of his clothes tucked underneath his arm. He was literally covered head to toe with paint. A big pink heart was on his chest, red swirls on his armpits, individual feathers on his wings colored in the order of the rainbow, Pinkie’s name on several parts of his belly, with varying size, colors, and style, his ears were given horizontal yellow stripes, and though Flicker couldn’t see it directly, he could tell his soles were completely painted. Judging by the paint marks surrounding his waist, Dreamy’s underwear was concealing even more paint markings.

Flicker stroked his chin as he looked at the body canvas that was Dreamy Daze. “Hm...You look different, somehow. Did she do something to your hair while you two were in there?”

“Ha ha. Real funny.” Dreamy said dryly. “Next time, we’re either charging triple for anything Pinkie Pie does, or I’m making her do it to you…”

“Heh, I’m sure we can work something out next time she comes by.”

Dreamy rubbed his temples. “Ugh, I’m gonna go home. I need my bed badly…”

“You sure you don’t wanna just sleep here for the night?”

“Eh, I can make it back home. I need a shower...” Dreamy muttered as he hastily slipped his clothes back on. “I’ll see you tomorrow, dude,” he said, walking out of the tavern, hoping that he wouldn’t get too many stares on the way back home.

Flicker smirked. He was left alone to do the tidying up for tomorrow’s clients, but seeing the kind of state Pinkie left Dreamy in, he would let his early departure slide.

Flicker entered the room Dreamy and Pinkie were just in. Surprisingly, save for the occasionally drop of paint splatter, the room already looked cleaned and organized. As Flicker went through the supplies, he checked how much paint was left, unsurprised at how most of the bottles were almost empty. He would have to remember to buy some more paint for tomorrow.

After doing some tidying up, he went into the other room, the tools he used still discarded around the new bondage furniture.

Flicker looked at the bottles of Silksoft, noting that he had nearly emptied out both during his experiments with Twilight. He would also have to personally thank Silksoft for their gift, maybe after Dreamy got to use it for himself.

After making sure both rooms were ready for tomorrow, Flicker shut and locked the doors, exiting the tavern to go to his own house.

Flicker smiled to himself as he walked home. His experimentation proved successful, and his findings would surely help make future sessions with Twilight and other clients better. But he knew that Twilight’s reactions alone weren’t enough to make any definitive conclusion. If there was one thing he knew about testing, it was that the results didn’t mean anything if they couldn’t be reproduced...
