Despite all her restraint, a laugh escaped Yuna's tightly pursed lips. It bounced and scattered off the stone walls of the underground chamber like a crazed bat. Yuna froze, toes curled, certain that such an outburst in this most sacred of locations would be her doom. But the waters of the circular pool in the middle of the room remained undisturbed. She allowed herself to relax, perhaps too much, because perversely, her relief prompted more laughter; louder, full-throated laughter edging dangerously towards mania.
Yuna couldn't help it. The situation was just so dire, the stresses placed upon her incalculable. Three thousand years of proud Mictlan civilization was on the brink of ruin. Prolonged drought brought famine, and the ruling nobles were putting increasing pressure on the priesthood to reestablish communication with the rain god. Failure to do so would mean certain revolt. The military would lead peasant farmers through the streets of the capital to slaughter nobles and loot temples.
She shuddered to think of what the starved masses would do to her: a prime example of what they would consider courtly excess. In a lean time, Yuna was kept well fed. She ate during each hour she was awake, even as she saw rations to her fellow priestesses decrease. Her body became swollen, her hips curving out far enough to brush door frames, her stomach bulged provocatively but was hidden by two of the largest breasts in Mictlan's recorded history.
These massive glands were what the priesthood, the dynasty, and thus the entire civilization were pinning their hopes on. Yuna had stopped laughing. Somehow the ridiculousness of fishing for the attention and favor of a god using a big pair of breasts was so funny that it became serious again. The Chamber of the Oculus was quiet once more. Yuna padded close to the edge of the pool and lowered herself to her knees, weighty chest overhanging the mirrored waters.
There were no sacred words to chant, although she felt there should have been. All she did was shake a little to get her boobs swaying. This juvenile display couldn't possibly work. Could the rain god be summoned as easily as a horny teenager? In answer, a light shone from deep within the pool, growing to dazzling brightness. The spell woven into the mask of red paint around her eyes prevented her from going blind, so she was able to stare at the glassy, liquid, luminous figure emerging from the turbulent waters.
It was a smoothly muscled youth. He was tall, but not supernaturally so. The rain god was wearing a shy smirk on his handsome face. Even though Yuna was mostly naked, he was trying to meet her gaze. She appreciated that. "Hi," he said.
I really shouldn't do these uploads in the iPad. Photos.app saves everything as a JPG, so some of that crisp pixel-y detail gets washed away by the re-encoding.
@anon (the other one): woah, weird! Must be a bug in the code I wrote for this gallery. Guess ill have to go rummaging around in the ancient php to figure that one out...

"Hi," she responded. It was a start.
