Unsurprisingly, things get kinda kinky kinda quick.

Kyra's intiation involves nudity, bondage...

An initiation is in progress, so we can guess that something pretty wild is likely in the works.

Believe it or not, there’s a demotivator for this sort of thing.

Not at Gnosis it wasn’t, as we and Kyra are about to find out. Demotivator found here.

At the end of this scene I should note that just the other day artist SI Jones posted a few pictures of guys kissing at his tumblr:

Which drew, perhaps predictably, a response like this:

Really awkward when I am going through my dash and random dudes are kissing. This new obsession of yours is kinda annoying considering 7/8 of the stuff you post is legitimately about tattooed chicks, scenery, ninja’s, samurais, swords, guns, and bad ass robots. What’s up with that?

Jones’s response was in its way quietly badass.

I shall note in passing that it is also Pride Month. I wish I could say I was clever enough to have planned this scene to run to coincide with it, though in actuality, it’s fortuitous.

The homoerotic potential of athletes knows no bounds, of course. Stronger! Higher! Faster! Harder! Even Mussolini was not immune to its charms, at least if the architecture he commissioned is any evidence.
