While I was seated the men all stood, then they joined me at the table.
You could hear a pin drop, so I looked around and exclaimed, "You didn't all wait for me did you?"
Meka answered from across the table, "Marilynn insisted that we wait. I can't believe that you are back so quickly. Did you change in the hallway?"
That brought a smile from everyone.
"I have my own personal pit crew. For some reason they felt that I might need a change of clothing tonight and were prepared," I blushed as I told them.
Meka covered with, "Our ladies are always prepared. Most likely there are full changes of clothes for all of us at the ready."
I didn't bother to correct her, I would have bet money that she was in on the planning of my reserve clothes, including the fact that this dress revealed a whole lot of cleavage! A fact that didn't go unobserved by the men in attendance.
We were all served fruit dishes to start the meal. Slices of the huge grapes of which I had grown fond named T' Gap, and a blood red heart shaped fruit with a pear like consistency and a honey like taste known to the people of Ka'an as Ixhata. Amelia had mixed in some earth fruits, pears, apples, and grapes, for the less adventurous.
Marilynn wasn't so sure of the Ka'anian fruits in her bowl so I speared a T' Gap slice and as I was stuffing it in my mouth, winked at her. I made appropriate yummy noises to indicate that it would be tasty to earth palates.
Gwen followed my lead just in case anyone thought that my tastes had changed after my transformation.
I was more interested in Marilynn's reaction to the new tastes than those seated closer to me so I was slightly startled when Theo exclaimed, "These are wonderful! What are they called?"
I turned to see he was looking for me to answer so I told him the names, and as I did, I saw Marilynn smile her enjoyment at me. I looked around and was pleased to see that all, in seeming preference over their earth cousins, were enjoying the Ka'anian fruits.
I wanted to get conversation moving a little so I looked to Davon and asked, "How is the fruit Davon?"
"Very nice," he replied simply and briefly.
He appeared as though he were sitting at attention while eating, so I asked, "Were you in the military Davon?"
"Yes," he answered.
It was obvious that Davon wasn't going to be very chatty so I moved on to more, fertile fields, I hoped, "Ginger, have you been in Nevada long?"
"We flew in last week, from Washington. Nevada is lovely though. I really like the bright lights of Reno and all of the friendly people here!" she responded exuberantly.
"Well as a former native of Nevada, may I extend my welcome to you and your family," I smiled, happy to have someone who would respond in more that two word sentences.
"Why thank you Dolly. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the area. Perhaps you can suggest some places we should visit while we're in Nevada."
"Certainly, what kinds of things do you like to do?" I asked her and looked to her husband as well inviting his input.
"Well Dolly, I'm a country girl at heart. We like to camp, fish, ride horses, and hike. Some of the wilderness areas here look very inviting," Ginger enthused. "Don't we honey?" she asked Maurice.
"Yes, we do like all of that, and in different environments, rainforests, high plains, deserts, and jungles," he added.
"I used to work in places like you describe all of the time. In fact I was flying over the jungle when Meka saved me," I informed them. They all probably knew that already, but I was just trying to keep the conversation going.
"I see. I've read the official report of your crash. What I don't understand is how you survived the wreck! What was left of the plane was a total. They had to pick the pilot up in pieces!" he asked now quite interested in the conversation.
"I think you need to get that information from Meka. I was unconscious at the time," I answered, looking to Meka for her to explain.
"That is easy to explain Maurice. Daily I would search the heavens trying to establish a link to this or another world in order to try to save our world. The lightning strike on his plane must have provided me with a good energy pattern to latch onto. My instruments told me that there was a person within its beam so I pulled him through to our world. He injured his leg when the lightning struck the plane, but other than that, he was in good shape. Had I waited until the plane struck the ground before pulling him through, he would have died in the jungle," she answered Maurice between bites.
"Wow, that was a mighty close call! What were you doing flying over the Jungle Dolly?" Maurice asked me.
"At the time I was on my way to do a geological survey for a mine," I told him, "That's what I did for a living, geological surveys for a variety of reasons, and often times in very remote places."
"Now you have been in the remotest place that I have ever heard of!" Ginger exclaimed, "It's all so very exciting! What does it feel like to travel to another world?"
I giggled, "I was unconscious the first time and the second time, when I realized what we had just done I fainted for three days!"
Meka chimed in with, "That is not entirely true. She was weak from the transformation and fainted due to the shock of being back home, but she would have only been out for a short time if I hadn't given her a sedative. She needed to rest up and replenish her strength, so I kept her asleep in bed for three days so she would not try to do something that might hurt her."
"So, travel to Ka'an is stressful?" Ginger wrongfully concluded.
"No, the travel itself isn't, it's having your genes rewritten that is the most stressful," Meka told her.
Amelia and the wives started serving the main course, slices of a condor-like bird, corn, and a blue colored sweet potato, which tasted like they were covered in brown sugar.
Gwen spoke up at this point to add, "The first time I did it I passed out too! I woke up in the middle of a lay down group hug!" she laughed.
"Old jungle cure for fainting!" I laughed, "Not to mention a heck of a way to wake up!"
"I'll say," Gwen agreed, "but I didn't believe them when they told me I would be going to another planet. When I realized they were telling me the truth it was just too much!"
"What does it feel like?" Ginger insisted.
"Exactly like walking from one room into another!" I admitted, "You wouldn't feel a thing."
"That is wonderful! When will you be issuing visas?" she asked half jokingly.
"That will be one of the discussions we plan after dinner. We will have no qualms issuing visas to women, however we will not allow men to visit Ka'an except under very special circumstances," Meka answered, "Our world is just too dangerous for men to visit."
"Have any men visited your world since you made the link?" Ginger asked naively.
"No men have ever returned to earth from our world," Meka answered trying to derail her question without having to give away what we have been doing for transgendered men.
I decided to help by saying, "If you sent a platoon of men to Ka'an, not one man would return to earth."
"You mean that any man who goes to Ka'an comes back like you?" she asked round-eyed and astonished.
"Pretty much," I told her with a big grin.
"I find that hard to believe," Davon put in.
"Why is that, Davon?" I asked.
"Do these plants, you are talking about, walk around? Do they move from place to place? How is it that a stationary plant can attack a platoon of men and turn them all into women?" he taunted, "It doesn't make sense."
"It will. I promise," I told him, with a broad smile on my face.
Meka, Gwen, Marilynn, Ginger, and I all looked at each other and exchanged secret knowing glances.
We all finished eating, the wives removed our dinner plates, and they replaced them with slices of chocolate truffle mouse, and snifters of brandy.
(No, the truffle in the mouse was not laden with aphrodisiac.)
We ate the deserts and enjoyed the brandy with little more conversation. When it was gone I suggested, "Why don't we adjourn to the reception area while the table is cleared for our meeting. If anyone has a need for the restroom, Ysalane will be happy to show them the way."
Intermission
We all took our brandy to the reception area for a while, where I had another opportunity to talk with Marilynn again, "How was dinner Marilynn? Did you enjoy the condor?"
"It was tasty, different, but it tasted like chicken," she giggled, and then more seriously, "So does Ginger know about the corsage?"
"Yes, she will have one too, and so will Ysalane, she wishes to conceive and has volunteered to bed Davon. The point will be that they will not be able to resist the attraction to the flower, which is what the plant uses to attract its victims. I know, it was used on me," I admitted, "We also plan to tell them we are doing it, so they may do their best to resist it, if they can!"
"You are going to give them a chance not to bed us?" she said, as if she didn't think it was a good idea.
"Have no fear, they will have no choice. This stuff is so powerful it makes Viagra look like an after dinner mint!" I told her, "It will however have no effect on you."
"So no matter how willful he is, he will want me?" she asked, verifying she understood what I had said.
"Yes, and have no fear, I will make my excuses and beat feet in a hurry before the fun begins!" I assured her.
"Oh that's right that asshole took mental pictures of your boobs! I could have shot him for that! He did it even after it was his fault you were all wet!" she complained, "He always did have a thing for huge busts!"
Negotiations
"It looks like the ladies have the conference room ready for us," I told her having gotten a signal from Ysalane. "Everyone? May I have your attention? The conference room is ready, so will all of those who must attend please return with me, everyone else, please enjoy yourselves here until the meeting adjourns.
