| she'd pushed her tongue. She gushed a puddle of juice in such
| |
| quantity that she made a small puddle which slowly widened and
| |
| seeped into the cracks between the floor slats. Her twitching set off
| |

| |
| reached her climax seconds later, her orgasm was so intense that I
| |
| thought she would fling herself clear off the floor. She arced her back
| |
| sharply as she gushed ecstasy, until only her forearms and feet were
| |
| on the ground. Hot cum showered over her lover's face in little
| |
| waterfalls.
| |
|
| |

| On the table, Mai was beginning to writhe against her bonds.

|
| |
|
| Suddenly, Mai's shouting stopped and was replaced by a hiss of pain.
| | ''We make stuff. So can you.'' |
| I watched as Mai's little breastlets took on a weird shape, becoming
| |
| very round at the top but still quite small at the bottom. Unlike the last
| |
| girl, Mai didn't shake; she went completely still and stiffened up as she
| |
| tensed every muscle in her body against the pain in her tits, clenching
| |
| her teeth and closing her eyes tightly.
| |
|
| |
|
| The hissing soon became a drawn out "Oh" as the growth in Mai's
| |
| breasts distributed itself even, causing her whole bustline to increase
| |
| just slight. Beth whispered in the ear of one of her two assistants, who
| |
| walked over to me and whispered in my ear, "Beth wants me to tell you
| |
| that sometimes this takes a little longer. Small-busted women become
| |
| Pyen Yang Lon very slowly." She dutifully returned to Mai's side.
| |
|
| |
|
| Mai lay limp on the table, breathing hard. Sweat was beginning to bead
| | == The Idea == |
| on her flushed face, and she demanded again, "Who _are_ you?
| |
| What are you doing to me? Let me go! Oh god... my tits..." Mai's right
| |
| nipple leaked a tiny droplet of white which hung there like a little pearl.
| |
| She suddenly tensed again, and her tits began to puff up some more.
| |
| Beth said something to an assistant in Chinese, and the assistant got a
| |
| jar of ointment from the cabinet. She gave this to Beth, who
| |
| unscrewed the cap and began applying it liberally to Mai's sweaty,
| |
| inflating bosom. The pain in Mai's face lessened slightly, but not by
| |
| much. Inch by inch, her breasts grew slowly, until they were perhaps
| |
| barely a B-cup size. "She needs more," said Beth, "Art, come here." I
| |
| walked to the table.
| |
|
| |
|
| Beth leaned over and whispered to me, "Fuck her." I whispered back,

| "But I'll die..." "No," replied Beth, "she can't take enough to kill you

|

|
| I didn't like this at all. I certainly didn't trust Beth, and I'd already been

| |
| who could probably snap my spine like a twig if I got them angry
| |
| enough. Despite my dizziness, the sight of all the beautiful women
| |
| writhing against one another's lips had caused quite a reaction in my
| |
| groin, which sported a considerable erection inside my too-tight jeans.
| |
| If I was going to die, at least I would go out screwing.

| of the leashed man away, and unzipped my fly. The head of my cock
| |
| landed squarely against the lips of Mai's cunt. Her snatch was bone
| |
| dry, but Beth liberally slopped ointment onto my hard-on, and I pushed
| |
| myself smoothly in past the resistance. Mai was again grimacing in
| |
| pain as the next wave hit her, causing every muscle in her body to
| |
| contract, and catching my penis inside her like a snake in a noose. Her
| |
| chest suddenly heaved as her breasts expanded more, but no stretch
| |
| marks appeared at all. As quickly as it had begun, it was over, and
| |
| Mai's body relaxed, allowing me to start thrusting again. Beth began
| |
| another incantation; Mai was so worn out already that her complaints
| |
| weren't loud enough to be heard over Beth's cacophonous chanting.

| |
| to be bracing for the next wave to come. The tightness and the heat | |

| cock felt like it was stuck tight in a hot, wet fist that was trying to
| |
| squeeze the semen out of me. I let go, and came much less than I
| |
| had before. Mai still didn't react, not to me and not to the two women
| |
| who were gently rubbing more of the ointment onto her B+-sized tits.
| |
| Sweat was trickling down her face now, and she seemed barely
| |
| conscious at all. A little trickle of milk leaked from each nipple, and
| |
| was gently lapped up by the two women. Beth, for her part, looked a
| |
| little nervous. She watched the whole thing with wide eyes, as if she'd
| |
| never seen it before. The rest of the Pyen Yang Lon were standing
| |
| about and staring at the whole thing blankly. For the first time I'd been
| |

| explosively. Within a few seconds, they had nearly doubled in size as
| |
| she let out a piercing, high-pitched shriek. Completely overwhelmed,

|
| |
|
| Beth looked alarmed at Mai's continuing growth. Her tits showed no
| | == Tripartite Pillars == |

| |
| covered the better part of Mai's chest now, and were beginning to spill
| |
| over her sides and onto the table. One of the women from the
| |
| audience pushed forward past Beth and latched onto one of Mai's

| nipple. They were already as large as Beth's, and still showed no sign
| |
| of slowing down. The woman from the audience finally let go of Mai's
| |
| nipple and turned to face the rest. I could feel the heat of lust that
| |
| radiated from her body halfway across the room. She literally dove on
| |

| |
| ground her crotch into the hapless woman's knee. She looked

| |
| her equally grand tits and demanded, "What are you _doing_?"
| |
|
| |
|
| Beth explained all that had happened, and the Queen asked her for the

| "Twon, what have you done? What did you put in here?"

| "I do nothing!", protested Twon, "She fuck up ceremony!", she cried,

| "There's something in here Twon. I can _taste_ it. I think you wanted

| |
| restraints and tried to move her from the table; she must have weighed

| began snaking downward toward the floor. Limp, it was already a foot
| |
| long. The Queen unfolded her arms and pushed her huge, hard nipple
| |
| at my face. Unable to resist, and not especially wanting to, opened my
| |
| mouth to take in as much as I could. It filled my mouth entirely, and I
| |
| sucked a torrent from it. Instantly, my dick sprang to life, filling out to a
| |
| length of two feet, maybe a little more. Every nerve ending in my body
| |
| lit up, and I was instantly immersed in blind lust, but unable to act on
| |
| my own.
| |
|
| |
|
| "Go fuck the living shit out of Twon.", said the Queen as she pulled her
| | =See Also= |
| tit away. I went to the table and did as I was told, burying half of my
| | *[[Community Standards]] |
| member in Twon before she yelped and begged me to stop. I started
| |
| pumping into her hard, and even in her panic her arousal was obvious
| |
| as her juices began to flow. I could feel her engorged, oversized clit
| |
| grazing along the top of my wrist-thick cock as I forced myself even
| |
| deeper into her.
| |
|
| |
|
| Without warning, I began to cum, shooting volley after volley into
| | [[Category:Pages with a Noisebridge Tiny URL]] |
| Twon's box. But without the order from the Queen, I couldn't stop
| | [[Category: Excellence]] |
| myself from fucking Twon. When she felt the first jolt of semen inside
| | [[Category: About Noisebridge]] |
| of her, Twon screamed murder. Within seconds, I was coming again,
| |
| and it felt even more intense this time. I was growing even as I
| |
| screwed Twon. Another inch added to my cock, my balls swaying near
| |
| my knees as I pumped my hips like a jackhammer.
| |
|
| |
|
| Twon started to grow. With her, it wasn't slow at all. Her tits were
| | {{ManualPage}} |
| expanding slowly already, crawling down her chest and into her
| |
| armpits. They wobbled crazily across her chest as I pumped away at
| |
| her cunt as hard as ever. Twon's face made it clear that she was
| |
| feeling some pain, but she mumbled "Grow, grow." I shot a third huge
| |
| load into Twon's twitching, soaking snatch. Immediately, her breasts'
| |
| growth sped up, sending billows of light brown tit-flesh exploding out in
| |
| all directions. Two of the other women ran over and supported the
| |
| ballooning tits in their arms. Twon's eyes rolled back in her head as
| |
| the pain overtook her for a moment. She started straining to get up.
| |
| "OK, big enough, big enough. You let me go!"
| |
| | |
| "No, we've still got a long way to go. Right, Art?" She grabbed me
| |
| and I stopped fucking for a moment. I was standing almost three feet
| |
| back from the table, but my cock still disappeared between Twon's
| |
| legs. The Queen opened her mouth and thrust in one of her dripping
| |
| nipples, again flooding my throat with her sweet nectar. I went back to
| |
| humping Twon, shooting two more times within minutes. My cum
| |
| overflowed Twon's hole, seeping out around my still-thrusting cock.
| |
| | |
| Her tits were growing like mad now, doubling and redoubling their size
| |
| every few minutes as I shot time and again into her tunnel. They were
| |
| already much bigger than the Queen's. The two women who had tried
| |
| to support them now moved out of the way as the shapeless flesh
| |
| became impossible to hold up anymore. They began to jet high-
| |
| pressured streams of white that soaked everyone in the line of fire.
| |
| The women danced about in the spray, kissing and caressing one
| |
| another. Huge tits bounced happily all about the room, finding mouths
| |
| and fingers and cunts to give them the attention they craved.
| |
| | |
| Twon was not so happy. I shot another load of cum into her snatch,
| |
| and the backflow that leaked out was enormous. The Queen ordered
| |
| me to stop, and I removed my hard, dripping dick from Twon's gushing
| |
| pussy.
| |
| | |
| I stood next to the Queen and watched over the course of the next 15
| |
| minutes as Twon's breasts continued growing. When they stopped,
| |
| they were each the size of a compact car. The gush of milk slowed at
| |
| last to a steady dripping and spurting in time to Twon's heartbeat.
| |
| | |
| "Look at my tits!", she cried, "How I walk?" Several of the women
| |
| approached Twon and grabbed hold of her outrageous breasts. The
| |
| rubbed themselves sensuously against the softness, occasionally
| |
| crawling on top to grind her pelvis into a tits as they fingered their
| |
| dripping clits. Twon tried to sit up, but couldn't.
| |
| | |
| "You don't have to walk anymore Madame Twon," said the Queen,
| |
| "You don't have to worry about anything at all. For all I care, you can
| |
| go stand on your head." With this, the Queen lifted up the foot of the
| |
| table, causing Twon's breasts to fall over her face like two living
| |
| pillows. Twon struggled, sensing what the Queen was doing. Her
| |
| muffled pleas were cut off by mouthfuls of endless tit. Suddenly, the
| |
| sounds stopped and Twon gave a few twitches. She went completely
| |
| limp. "You're fired.", hissed the Queen.
| |
| | |
| "Take the girl away and starve her. Nobody but me carries the mark of
| |
| the Queen." Four of the women took Mai away. She looked about at
| |
| the mess in the temple, the pools of milk and the spatters on the walls.
| |
| "The rest of you, clean up this mess. And you, Art, we'll have to drain
| |
| you back down to a manageable size. Go down to the basement and
| |
| wait there."
| |
| | |
| I grabbed hold of my still-stiff dick to keep it from bouncing around so
| |
| much that I might pole-vault over it and headed back to the basement.

Interact with interesting people!
Noisebridge is a space for sharing, creation, collaboration, research, development, mentoring, and of course, learning. Noisebridge is also more than a physical space; it's a community with roots extending around the world.

We make stuff. So can you.
The Idea
Noisebridge is an educational non-profit corporation, 501(c)3 public charity status.
We provide infrastructure and collaboration opportunities for people interested in programming, hardware hacking, physics, chemistry, mathematics, security, robotics, all kinds of art, and, of course, technology. Through talks, workshops, and projects we encourage knowledge exchange, learning, and mentoring.
As a space for artistic collaboration and experimentation, we are open to most types of art - with a special emphasis on the crossover of art and technology. From hardware labs to electronics and sound labs, most things that're creative are most definitely welcome.
Many interesting things happen in the space. We've found that sharing is essential to making this work. We strive to begin from a point of respect and trust. We believe it builds a safe community and that this best fosters innovation and creation.
Our motto is "Be excellent to each other." We also have writings on community standards and an anti-harassment policy which covers all conduct in the physical space and in our online spaces.
Leadership is taken by individual members for specific projects. We call this "sudo leadership" after the *nix command sudo which allows a regular user to do one root-level, or superuser, task. In other words, if you want Noisebridge to do something, start doing it.
Here's some paraphrasing from our bylaws:
Through talks, classes, workshops, collaborative projects, and other activities, we want to encourage research, knowledge exchange, learning, and mentoring in a safe, clean space. We provide educational spaces for teaching practical skills and theory of technology, science, and art. We provide work space, storage, and other resources for projects related to art, science, and technology that will benefit the individual members' personal growth in their fields of interest, encouraging the individual members to share their projects and knowledge for the betterment of society through art, science and technology. We create, learn, and teach, individually and as a group, inviting members of the community in the San Francisco Bay area and the world. We develop, support the development of, and provide resources for the development of free and open source software and hardware for the benefit of society. We promote collaboration across disciplines for the benefit of cultural, charitable, and scientific causes.
Tripartite Pillars
Excellence
Be excellent to each other is the guiding principle of Noisebridge. Wikipedia uses a somewhat similar rule, which they call "the fundamental rule of all social spaces. Every other policy for getting along is a special case of it." Unlike Wikipedia, Noisebridge takes a positive approach, and avoids the practice of officially enumerating the myriad potential special cases; "be excellent" is enough.
Consensus
We make official Noisebridge decisions by consensus, which means the willing consent of all of our members. Decisions are typically made at our weekly meetings or via our online management venues, and items proposed for consensus are announced at least a week in advance to give everyone time to hear about them. Conceivably, members could block by proxy if they are unable to attend or if they wish to block anonymously.

Do-ocracy
Doing excellent stuff at Noisebridge does not require permission or an official consensus decision. If you're uncertain about the excellence of something you want to do, you should ask someone else what they think.

Inspiration
Noisebridge is inspired by similar European clubs like Metalab of Vienna, CBase of Berlin, MAMA of Zagreb, and ASCII of Amsterdam.
