>Had an idea from another thread, will try a little write-quest out of curiosity to expand and see how people act in the situation.

Your name is Sarah, a 21 year old waitress just trying to get by. You've been having a bad week though. After a bout of sickness from stumbling across (and bringing home) some sort of strange glowing rock in a park while playing Sagemon Start! you just got mugged on the way home from work. It didn't go well however, when the guy held the knife to your throat but it didn't even draw blood, and when you tried to struggle and push free you sent him flying through the brick alley wall.

You're not sure what happened and you ran home afraid, but in the confines of your room you try to make sense of things and end up accidentally bending the frame of your bed.

>tl;dr you suddenly have Superman level powers, what do you do now?
>>
>>429635
Do we live in a world where superpowers are common or are we the first we know of?
>>
>>429650
This
>>
>>429650
You don't think this is common or something that has happened before. You've definitely never heard of someone else having powers like this, or any powers really. Only in movies and comics and stuff.

Searching around online doesn't get you much, beyond some conspiracy theory websites and discussion boards. It seems pretty sketchy at best.
>>
>>429635
definitely don't try to jerk off

>>429650
this is rather important
>>
>>429635
Where do we work at?
>>
>>429675
You work at Denny's, a restaurant a couple blocks away. It's alright, better than a fast food job. You don't like your manager though.
>>
>>429650
This
>>
>>429681
Well money isn't an issue anymore, nothing can hurt us and even if we are homeless, well fuck it we can go wherever we want.
Guess the first step is to go to the coast, abandon all responsibility. Dissapear, run at supersonic speeds on the water. Visit foreign countries. After a while we gotta settle down but now it's adventure time.
>>
>>429705
That sounds fun!
>>
>>429705
Lots of ideas and possibilities start to race through your mind, if you really do have powers. For now though you probably want to just leave.

Only question is, do you want to disappear, or properly give your two weeks notice to those in your life, so to speak?
>>
>>429635
You need to make a sick costume and create an alter ego!
>>
>>429716
What sort of costume do you have in mind, what sort of alter ego? You can sew... kinda? A costume though might be beyond your skills right now, if it's all custom made.
>>
>>429720
Nah, costumes are not practical right now, just a baklava and some gloves along with long sleeved clothes plus whatever sunglasses and bandanas will be enough to hide our identity need be.

Let's just pack up and leave asap with the stone in a metal briefcase or something like that.
>>
>>429720
I would assume you wear a hoodie or something, nothing extravagant. Hey, what kind of crimes are in the area?
>>
>>429731
Taking a bit to calm down, you go through your options more thoroughly and decide it's probably for the best to keep a low profile for now. You don't have much, but your clothes come down to a shirt, long hoodie, jeans, shoes, gloves. And like, underwear and socks of course. For identity concealing, you tie your hair back, obscure the lower half of your face with a scarf and have big sunglasses.

Overall it's not much but in short notice you hope it will work. Lastly you wrap the glowing rock up in a towel and stash it in your bag. You notice before you do however that it looks dimmer than when you found it.

>What do you want to do, or where do you want to go now?

>>429733
You're not really up on crimes more than what you hear by gossip, it seems the usual of a medium-sized city. Some gang activity, theft, drugs. You personally haven't seen it but you know it exists somewhere in the city.
>>
>>429747
Guess i won't need a waitress's job anymore now that i have superpowers. Might as well fire myself, since i never liked that asshole of a boss i had. In fact, i think it is about time we had a face-to-face conversation...
>>
>>429747
Go into the mountains and train to be the greatest neet there was
>>
>>429747
>>429756

It is time for us to leave the job and start heading to the deep forest to train and/or testing our superpowers.
>>
>>429763
>>429758
>>429756
Don't forget Corporal Fluffles, our pet gerbil
>>
>>429758
Whatever you want to do with your life moving forward, you get the feeling that a training montage will only help that.

>>429756
You might miss your co-workers but you won't miss the job. You can't do anything right now though, so just take a night's rest before heading in to work.

Arriving you are greeted by your co-workers though have something on your mind. Asking around you find your manager out back looking over a delivery, though when she sees you she reacts rather hostile and opens up with berating you about not being in your work clothes.

Looks like your in for a chewing out, but how would you like to tell her you're quitting?
>>
>>429635
Go on...

>>429774
Of course not, he's at home for now though, you didn't need to bring him to work.
>>
>>429775
Probably with words. "Hey, I'm quitting. Later."
>>
Go On..
>>
>>429775
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WQp93ECYtA
>>
>>429788
Well you want to slap her but feel it would be best for now just to leave peacefully. She doesn't take your quitting well though and grabs you when you try to leave. She also makes fun of you about the guy she sort of stole from you several months back, one of the main reasons there is tension between you.

Last chance to do anything, or else just shrug her off, and return home to plan your trip out into the world.
>>
>>429806
Well I'll never see you again anyways. And that guy was a whore amongst men, hope you didn't get his herpes.

AWAYYYYy
>>
>>429806
Calmly dislocate her arm and leave.
>>
>>429813
This.
You know, now that i think about it, we will need a dummy for our training montage, won't we?
>>
Wew getting some conflicting options here!

>>429820
When you say dummy, are you insinuating kidnapping her for use in training?

>>429819
Based on clarification, you may just act this out.

>>429813
Whether or not you react violently, you're definitely going to give her a piece of your mind.
>>
>>429806
>>429819

Ok... fuck that bitch! And also dislocate her leg too on same side as her arm.
>>
>>429830
Good, gosh, no!
Such lowly and immoral actions are far beyond our scope. She will come calmly and with consent, of course. It might take some "persuasion" but it will work.
By god, it WILL work.
>>
>>429836
Well you have a potentiall sinister idea to take her with you, and for the time being with a careful use of force you put her in some pain and threaten her to keep quiet.

>>429832
If you want to maim her you can do it later when she's not in the work place around lots of people.

>Either way you more or less drag her back to your place and make her wait on the bed for now, while you prepare to head out into the world.

She's pretty angry about what's going on but also obviously afraid. She did as you said and keeps on the bed while you think of what to do next, but is quite vocal about expressing her anger and constantly reminding you how she's going to have the cops after your ass for this.
>>
>>429856
Fucking morons
Now we have to rip and tear
>>
>>429856
Fixedly staring at her, pick an iron bar (i don't care if there's no iron bars around, just materialize one!) and bend it into a knot. That will shut her up,
Also, go and get some McDonalds. You did not have breakfast yet and superheroing is a tiresome job.
>>
>>429856
Deliberately and meticulously break every single bone in her body.
>>
>>429866
>>429869
To shut her up, you take the clothes hanging metal bar from your closet and bend it into a knot, placing it around her head like a necklace. She gasps at this act and remains speechless for a time, before quietly starting to plead not to be hurt and how she'll keep quiet if let go, stuff like that.

You can't help but feel a little gratified by this.

>+1 Villainous point

You are also hungry though, if you go our are you going to take her with you? You can assume if you leave her she'll run away.

>>429875
If another person backs this up you'll do it. Though do you want to do it in your room, or somewhere less likely to draw attention?
>>
>>429888
Leave her. She know better than to run away.
Eating alone sucks, however, so we are taking Corporal Fluffles along, since we probably aren't returning to our appartment anyway.
>>
>>429888
Split open her body and use her blood to create pacts from the demons beyond our mortal coil.
Rape first though
>max villain points people it's decided by the whims of the anons.
>>
>>429888

Force her to get drunk and leave her just outside the diner while spreading around empy bottles around her.

And then we can start traveling.
>>
>>429907
>>429912
>>429914
Well shit.

I guess someone roll a dice or something, d100 and the winner takes it.
>>
>>429912
Lets do this one, full super villain mode
>>
Rolled 64 (1d100)

>>429921
>>
>>429928
>>429912
Yikes. Well that's actually two votes for the same thing so it's probably going to win.

Same question as before though, do you care where you do any of this to her? In your room or elsewhere?
>>
>>429949
Do it in the room, not like anyone can stop us.
>>
>>429960
Yikes. Ok then, can we at least put some soothing music on to add some flair of elegance to the whole schbock?
>>
>>429972
We should do that, it'll really add to the atmosphere.
>>
>>429960
>>429972
You decide to do what you want in your room, your powers overshadowing any fear of being caught for it. You put on some soothing music on your radio clock, and turn your attention to your former boss, who fearfully looks at you and is still unaware of what is on your mind.

>Without getting too graphic (or I guess as much as you want? this is a blue board though), give a short summary of how you want to go about this? Depending on what you do, will determine how villainous you become. Otherwise things will just skip ahead to the aftermath and you'll get a flat villain point increase.
>>
>>429990

>>429990
This:>>429993

While listening to this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYAJopwEYv8

You know, "soothing" music.
>>
Fucking loving it so far op.
Villain quest is now a go.
>>
>>429993
>>430000
Your anger towards her over her treatment of you and what she did to you, fueled by your powers, gets to your head. At first she still looks to be hopeful that you're going to let her go at some point, as you climb onto the bed and start feeling her with your hands and take the metal pole off her neck.

Any hope she has dies though when you grab ahold of her and force her down on the bed, and start removing her clothes. You're going to kill her, you know this. But first you want to punish her for the relationship she stole from you. You never thought of yourself as a cruel person, but feeling her naked and crying in your grasp like a doll to do with as you wish, you feel a lot crueler than you did before getting powers.

All the while you don't care if she screams, or try to shut her up. In fact it almost increases your enjoyment of what you do to her, knowing that neither she nor anyone else can stop you. She does die before you finish what you wanted here >>429912 but that doesn't really cross your mind. You're not sure what you hoped to accomplish though with any sort of demonic offering in her blood, but you try something of it. Eventually feeling satisfied, you take a step back, sweaty and panting from the effort and experience of it all. With her blood fresh on your hands, you bring your hands to your face to feel the blood on it, and a smile sets in. The taste alone is amazing.

>+100 Villain points. You start to sense a power you have that you weren't aware of before, the experience of killing your boss causing it.

Eventually your breathing settles again and you regain focus, as you look down and see yourself covered in blood. You also hear sirens not too far off.

Well, that's one problem in your life taken care of at least.
>>
>>430058
Use our new demonic powers to absorb her body into our form and burn the house around us.
>>
>>430068
Do this, but go on the stealth route: Make some shit up and get away on disguise.
>>
>>430068
The demonic aspect isn't really going to carry since your powers come from the rock, not demons.

However I guess this is a pretty good point to consider; originally I'd just intended that you have Superman's powers more or less, super strong, indestructible, flying, etc. since that was the point of the other thread, basically how you would act if you were suddenly granted Superman's powerset.

However if the players would like, it could be something else instead, maybe more based on how the quest goes like >>430068 said about absorbing her body.

I'll let you guys vote/decide which you prefer. Just make sure you're happy with the choice, since if the quest actually draws out, then the choice will be permanent.

Arch lich?
Straight up demon?
Dark spirit hivemind?
Blood crystal Daemon lich?

Blood crystal daemon lich
It's happening
>>
>>430094
>>430095
Well I'd rather stray away from demon powers, but either way you want to explore this new possible power further. Tasting your bosses blood again you start to get the feeling once more, and approach her body. Your thoughts and your vision turn to red, and you start to hunger for more. Going off instinct, her heart seems to be the best bet, as you dig for it and sink your teeth in. After that everything is a blur.

---

You are awoken by a hammering at the door and someone telling you to open up, it's the police. Well this might be bad.

As you get up though and move through your place, you catch a glimpse of your reflection and have to stifle a shriek. You look exactly like your boss. Same clothes, but her body.

What to do now? You're starting to think this is a bad dream now, though the power rush remains strong. That, you can feel within you.
>>
>>430126
Jump out the window and begin planing to steal the body of the president of the united states.
>>
>>430133
You grab the Colonel and your bag before heading for the window, but as you open it you notice your hands aren't bloody. In fact, none of you is, and in confusion you look back to your bed to see the body of your boss. Or, what's left of it, it looks like some centuries old mummy all dried up. Also gone are all the markings you'd made in an attempt to contact the demons, since they were made of blood as well.

Whatever the case you don't stop, and jump out the window, falling down into the alleyway. The first thing you realize is it hurts. Maybe not as much as it should have, but definitely more than earlier before you killed your boss.

>By altering your powerset, you lose what you had before, of being super strong and indestructible.

What to do now? You think you can hear your apartment door being smashed in above.
>>
>>430156
Contact the astral layer and use the rifts to materialize in the Congo.
>>
>>430167
You try to make use of your powers or some othe rmethod in order to transport yourself to the Congo, but unfortunately it doesn't work. Not as though you can't go there, of course. Just not with your (current) powers.
>>
>>430156
Op if you're worried about the plot it kinda makes sense that the demon was in the rock and then occupied you once you touched it, growing dimmer as the demon abandoned it. Where did it come from though? A meteorite? Are we being used by an ancient space demon cult, killing foreign civilization by proxy?
>>
>>430208
It's a meteorite sure, originally it was just supposed to be superpowers Macguffin. I only shy from demonic powers since the intent is to make you the character self-sufficient in her own powers, rather than having to answer to or expect to serve some higher entity.
>>
>>430224
Yeah I understand your concern

>>430156
Since we now occupy the late boss's body, and we've "lost" our Superman powers, we could go back to the diner, acting like our old boss Mystique style and grab all the cash we can get our hands on.
>>
>>430239
You decide to make use of your new body and head back to the restaurant, see how things go down when you get there.

Along the way a phone starts ringing, and you go to check yours but realize it's your boss's phone. You went through her pockets after you killed her of course, and checking the caller you see it's her... your? boyfriend.

>Care to answer it? Also anything you're interested in at the restaurant, other than robbing the place?
>>
>>430254
Not sure if we need to be scared of the police, what is the extent of our new powers? If we are then it might be best to answer and pretend like we're fine, not to raise suspicion. Would buy more time since the body probably isn't identifiable anyways. We would also want to be sneaky about stealing the money.

OOC: Feels like the Americans have gone to bed lol
>>
>>430254
Almost forgot, we still haven't eaten (save for the raw heart). Some anon wanted McDonalds earlier iirc.
>>
>>430281
You're not really sure of the extent of your powers, it's something you'd have to explore. All you know is they seem to be blood based, and by eating your boss's heart you gained power from her. If you had to guess, it's as if you added the physical capabilities she had to your own. It's nothing compared to your original powers, but the strength, endurance, and other physical capabilities of two women in one is certainly abnormal.

For now you decide to play it careful and answer the phone, an eerie experience speaking with your boss's voice. Her bf wants to know if she's alright since people at work didn't know where she went. He also wants to know if she still was going to be able to spend time with him later, for the arrangements they made.

The strangest thing though, as he speaks about it, you start to realize exactly what he's talking about, like memory that isn't yours is available to you. It starts just in context to what he's talking about, but after you confirm with him and say goodbye, other memories start to creep in, and by the time you reach the restaurant you are aware of everything your boss had done since waking up that day.

So how do you want to continue with this?
>>
>>430305
This is getting interesting, Kirby mode achieved. I say we forget about the guy and start to plan how to become more powerful. I have a feeling there's a downside, a catch, to the powers so we don't want to just kill a ton of randoms, we have to choose carefully. I say we look to consume a martial artist of sorts to gain his or her skills.
>>
>>430397
Well if you're looking to gain skills or at least memories you can try to go for someone specific like you said. But consuming your boss granted you a boost in power as well as her memories, and your physical capabilities are yours and hers combined. It's not the same as super strength, but if you were to consume ten people say, you'd have the physical prowess of ten people combined.

Whatever the case, on the way to the restaurant you take a detour to WcRonald's to get a bite to eat. Although it's filling, it isn't really satisfying, and can't compare to the taste of your boss's heart.

What are you looking to do now?

>I'll also be turning in for the night pretty soon, but I can continue things when I get up.
>>
>>430434
Go to boss apartment, invite him and kill him.
>>
>>430446
Invite and kill who?
>>
>>430434
So the physical capabilities of the victim don't matter?
>>
>>430452
Boyfriend
>>
>>430454
Well it would matter. But if you consumed a martial artist you wouldn't gain the skill of martial arts from them, you'd gain the memories of it. If you consumed a few martial artists though of the same discipline, then their memories together would be strong enough that you could know that martial art.

>>430456
Well he's got a date arranged with you later. You could call and make sure he comes to the boss's place to pick you up, and then you could do something to him. Or go on the date and go to his place after, whatever you want to do.

>Want to just blaze through the day till the time for the date?
>>
>>430468
That is to say, that's how your powers are now. They will change and become stronger if you take those steps, so there's nothing to say later on you couldn't do something like consume one person and know their relevant skills as well as they did.
>>
>>430468
Blaze it.
>>
>>430487
Sounds good. You spend the day at work to keep up appearances of your boss, though people take note of you behaving differently. It's not as though you aren't able to imitate her as with her memories you could behave just like her, you just choose not to.

Work lets off and you take her car back to her place, all of it seeming perfectly normal to you as you go about her flat. Dressing yourself up as nice as you're comfortable with in her clothes (not as nice as she'd have done), eventually her boyfriend arrives to pick you up, greeting you with a hug and a kiss. It's a little difficult because you used to have feelings for him before she stole him from you, but also because him showing you that kind of affection brings up memories of your boss, of her and him being intimate together. You try to wave it off as being happy to see him, but he does notice the difference in your behavior.

How do you want to approach the situation?
>>
>>430503
So we look like boss now?

Invite him in ,say that you're not ready yet, sit him down and strangle him.
>>
>>430503
Eat his heart and use her disguise to prey on predators in alleyways. We can strangle and eat them, like some badass changeling, constantly growing stronger, under the guise of a cute, unassuming girl.
>>
>>430525
Yes, after eating her heart you took on her physical appearance.

>>430586
>>430586
Any preferene or details on how you want to kill him, or what you do leading up to it/how you get him in a position to be killed? Same as with >>430058 depending on how you do it or what you do, will determine how your power increases and what sort of new ability you might gain from him.
>>
>>430849
Invite him in give him something to drink with sleeping pills, move him to bathtub, slit throat, remove dick, put it into blender or something with some other things and make yourself a cocktail.
>>
>>430869
Well one step at a time. You invite him in and get him a drink with crushed up sleeping pills, and some snoozy medicine for good measure. You tell him it'll be a little while till you're ready, but it will be a little while till he passes out from the drink.

Do you want to interact with him until then, and assuming after he passes out, do you want to straight away just kill him?
>>
>>430924
Straight into meat of things.
>>
>>430937
No point in dragging things out. You try to stall till he eventually gets drowsy and with a little help you put him to rest by helping him to the bedroom. Once there and asleep it's easy to move him to the bathroom and put him in the tub.

Grabbing a kitchen knife you return and muster your resolve, to slash his throat. You've never done it before so you're not too good at it, but after a pained struggle and obvious confusion he does end up bleeding out. As soon as he's gone, you maneuver his body in the tub, and go to work of getting his heart. When you do cut it free, you bite into it with anticipation. It's not as satisfying as your boss's heart, maybe because she died afraid and awake, but you can feel a power surge within you.

>+50 Villain points

You also don't want to let other parts of him go to waste, and sever his member. Collecting some blood from the tub, and using it all in a blender, you end up with a chunky bloody mixture.

>What are you looking to do now? Also when eating his heart, you have the ability to take on his physical form if you want.
>>
>>430954
Drink it, go home, change into original form, browse the net for supernatural happenings.
>>
>>430961
You drink the mixture, it doesn't taste that good.

One consideration before you go, do you want to do anything with the body?
>>
>>430967
Mummify it
>>
>>430961
>change into original form
Pretty sure the pigs found a mummified corpse in our apartment.
>>
>>430972
As with your boss, you want to get everything you can out of the guy's body. Returning to it, you're not sure how to go about it but figure to just try to drink from his slashed throat. As you try though, not only do you feel the ability to draw all the blood and other sustenance from the body, but also the blood drained into the tub. Almost like you have a small control of it, it runs up his body in order to reach your mouth.

>Ability gained, Minor blood control - while in physical contact with it, you can control blood as an extention of yourself.

It takes awhile but like your boss, his body is left desiccated and looking like a mummy, no blood or anything. Before you go you also go through his clothes for any belongings.

Driving back to your place though, you come to realize that there are police about. It looks like your apartment has become a crime scene. How do you proceed?
>>
>>430980
As seen that is the case, but just for the record, you always have the ability to change back to your original body.
>>
>>430983
Can we mix appearances?
>>
>>430994
Maybe that's something you could do, but not right now. You're still barely getting the hang of changing appearance at all, and have only done it once (and unintentionally at that).
>>
>>431004
Withdraw all the money we can and leave the state.
>>
>>431031
Do you want to take the time to sever connections to people you know/relatives? Or just disappear?

Oh, and do you want to interact with the potential crime in any way? You have your boss's and potentially her boyfriend's appearance, so it could change how any investigating goes. Also you're driving her car.

>Just some considerations.
>>
>>431046
They still have teeth so dead people rather can't appear in front of police.
>>
>>431051
It might confuse the hell out of them though if you/the boss was still alive.
>>
>>431073
But we don't know how much we change and they make test something like DNA.
>>
I suggest we move to Africa, found a terrorist organization, overthrow governments, create an African warlord superstate, conquer and enslave the world.
>>
>>431082
Well I think it's fair to tell you that you imitiate the person perfectly, including genes. I want to say that's something you would just "know" as part of your new powers.

Part of the reason you aren't able to mix appearances, since it's not like you're just wearing their skin or something, you're physically identical to them after consuming their heart.
>>
>>431089
Well that is entirely possible if you play it right. It might be harder though with your current powers, as opposed to your former Superman powers.

K, let's go to work like normal, but clean up glass and knife in boss apartment first.
>>
>>431096
Superman is a boring sod anyway. So the cops are on our asses? Just parkour man. Use blood to extend our fingers and solidify thenm when needed. I assume we have an almost telekinesis type relationship amirite?
>>
>>431102
I'm not salty, just saying if you want to conquer the world it would be easier with Superman powers. If you want to be a villain though and gain power overtime, your current powers are better for it.

>>431106
Well it's evening time so no work, but you can go back to your boss's apartment and figure out what to do. You don't have to worry about blood around, just the mummified boyfriend. You might need to figure out what to do with that body.

>>431109
No the cops aren't actually chasing you or anything, it just looks like your apartment is a crime scene, when they busted in and probably found your boss's mummified body.

As for the powers you described, they may be possible but you'll need to experiment. And while I agree Superman is boring, he was just an example. The original idea was simply "What would you do if you suddenly got standard superpowers?" in a present-day setting that doesn't have people with superpowers as a normal thing.
>>
>>431151
Then, let's go back.
>>
>>431151
We go to an atm, get all money from boss, boyfriend and original self, go somewhere, gain unassuming new identity/body, rawr!
>>
>>431151
>original idea was
And then the MC became evil, like super-evil with blood, gore and stuff... modern morality is gone? When I read archived tg/ stuff, I read about helping others, fighting villains...
>>
>>431166
You return to your boss's apartment for the night, planning on leaving the next day. Is there anything you want to do with the boyfriend's body, or just leave it?

>>431183
The next day you can do that, go get all your combined money and take your leave to find a new life.

>>431188
Maybe so. This isn't /tg/ though. However it's not like heroics or doing good isn't possible. Sure you might have done some horrible things, but your actions are up to you. If you suddenly want to stop being villainous and do good you can.

It won't of course, erase the things you did so far though.
>>
>>431151
>your apartment is a crime scene
new headline: "Mummy killer appears!", "Employee mummifies boss, police baffled"
>boyfriend's body
Put it in a trash bag and destroy that evidence. Should we change into the boyfriend? He's not suspected or supposed dead...
>>
>>431208
Remove molars and dump them in river or lake, body bury somewhere in forest.
>>
>>431218
Well it's unclear if they would implicate you in mummifying your boss, but you have no way of knowing.

As for turning into the boyfriend, that's your decision to make. As you said though, he's not known to be dead.

>>431221
You go through the effort of removing the teeth of the body, which is easier than you'd thought given your improved, impressive strength. After that you put the body in a bag.

How far do you want to go and to what extent do you want to go to, to get rid of the body?
>>
>>431238
Just a forest, preferably rarely visited one.
>>
>>431238
>if they would implicate you
Mummy found in our appartment, teeth proves it's our boss (lab results need some time): I'm not sure they will suspect anyone else...
>>431247
Yes! Take a shovel and the body, drive to a forest and bury it there.
>>
>>431238
>As you said though, he's not known to be dead
Phone records will show that he had contact with our boss, workplace rumours say that we had a thing for him, maybe a secret affair: boyfriend is supect no. 2....

We better run away with the money the next day...
>>
>>431270
That's fair, but then again you do have your boss's appearance and could prove she was still alive.

Also you might throw them for a loop, considering her method of death/the state of her body is unique. As in, no one's ever died or had their body end up the way she did before.

>>431270
>>431247
Looking online on your boss's computer, you try to find the biggest forested area outside the city. Settling on a place you sneak the body to her car and go for a drive. You do have to stop by a Sam-Mart though to get a shovel.

All in all the whole ordeal takes a few hours to get out of the city and deep into the forest, dig a deep hole (made a lot easier by your increased strength and endurance) and bury the body. While sitting in the car though after the deed is done and thinking about what to do next, you hear a phone ringing and check to see that it is yours. The caller ID shows it's the guy you (as in Sarah you, not dead boss you) are currently interested in. He's the reason you were out playing Sagemon Start! and encountered the glowing rock in the first place.

Care to answer?
>>
>>431284
Well considering you can change appearances it might have been possible to work something out or confuse people, but you decide to just leave anyway. Better to just not take chances.
>>
>>431297
Nah, also destroy and dump our phone.
>>
>>431305
Wait, where are we leaving?
>>
>>431297
>Care to answer?
"Hi, care to meet up? There's a dark alley behind Jumpmart, spooky and fun, promise! Bye!" Victim No. 4, get!
>>
>>431315
Well the idea was that the next day you'd raid three bank accounts and then flee the city, finding a new life somewhere else.

That can be changed, but so far that seemed to be the plan.

>>431311
You decide to destroy your phone and get rid of it, probably do the same with your boss's and her boyfriend's before you leave tomorrow.

>>431344
You do though try to find some other way of returning the call to the guy, and end up finding a Pancake House that has a pay phone.

>You call back the guy, Jeff, but what do you want to say to him? The idea crosses your mind that he'd be a great next victim, but at the same time you have feelings for him and aren't sure you're that far gone down the evil spectrum yet that you could just kill him so easily.

Unless you really want to. Just confirm if you do actually want to turn on him.
>>
>>431392
Nothing. If we're skipping town, let's go.
>>
>>431392
>>431415
Nah, Jeff can live, skip town with money, new life!
>>
>>431392
Do we even need money though? We could just capture the next modestly well off dude/woman and take over their lives... oh, the possibilities, till the government founds the "Find the Superhuman Killer" taskforce
>>
>>431415
>>431426
>>431434
Yeah, you can't bring yourself to kill Jeff, so you decide against it. Anything you want to tell him then before leaving? Or your friends and family for that matter?

Either way, you'll probably need a little money just to get by, you think it would be a bad idea to take your boss's car for example so will need to catch a bus. On the way back to her place then you stop by an ATM to take out money of your three accounts, the withdraw limit being a thousand bucks, so you have $3,000 to live off until you next find something to do.

>Along with possibly saying goodbyes to friends/family, is there anything else you want to take care of before you leave town? Also where do you want to go, via bus?
>>
>>431482
Nah, just vanish into the night. We will take the bus into the biggest city, to vanish in plain sight, to do our dark deeds, to become the greatest villain, a Super Villain!
>>
>>431498
Very well, one ticket to Yew Nork city, the biggest, closest city to yours a couple states away!

Tomorrow that is, it's too late now for a bus. Where do you want to spend the night though? Your place is a crime scene and you get the feelign staying any longer at your boss's place is a bad idea. Don't want to wake up again with the police hammering on your door.
>>
>>431507
>Where do you want to spend the night though?
A cheap hotel near the bus station, that should keep us from being found by police too quickly, right?
>>
>>431538
This. Also, reporting in to quest

>>431598
You decide to stay at the nearest motel to the bus station. It's not great but it's just for the night, and they take cash. Getting to your room and having some privacy, you take a shower and look yourself over. Yep, you definitely have a different body, your boss's, from your head to your toes. It's a pretty disturbing feeling as you look in the foggy mirror and see her staring back at you, touching and feeling your face in the process.

While sitting in a towel on the bed, you also go through your bag and notice now the rock you found in the park is still glowing, but the color has changed to red now.

>Anything you want to do before turning in for the night?
>>
>>431647
>rock
"My Precious! My Dearest!" Cuddle with our lovely Stone and sleep well, dream about all the Evil we will do in Its Name!
>>
>>431647
What does our boss look like?
>>
>>431660
For better or worse, the rock has changed your life and you feel beholden to it. You're not going to fall asleep cuddling it because it's a rock, but you do look it over for a long time wondering what it is and where it came from, and put it on the nightstand.

>>431674
A little older than you, taller and a little heavier set though not chubby by any means. Kind of pretty looking you guess, with a decent body. You prefer your body of course, but you could definitely do worse than hers.
>>
>>431692
Go to sleep, and then check the news
>>
>>431695
You go to sleep for the night and turn on the news when you wake up. Nothing of note though, certainly nothing about a mummified corpse being found in an apartment. Maybe the police are being careful with the matter? Or maybe it's just too soon.

Either way it's morning and you're awake. What do you want to do for the day till your bus leaves in the afternoon?
>>
>>431743
We're in a normal earth right? Are there any major differences besides us? And where is this city located?
>>
>>431743
>till your bus leaves
A new body! More power! Call Roomservice and kill one more, just one more!
>>
Can't we just try to fix everything and then go back to the restaurant work?

I just want to have fun with all my cute coworkers while we do cute things
>>
>>431783
>fix everything
No, we shall never go back to our old life! We shall only do cute things with knifes and the blood of our victims!
>>
>>431761
It's a normal Earth yes, and to your knowledge you're the only person with powers. Your current city is in the state of East Virginia, of the east coast USA (Unified States of America!)

>>431772
How would you be wanting to kill this room service worker? Again, how it's done determines how you might gain powers.

>>431783
That's totally possible, though you'll need to come up with a way of fixing everything. Maybe blame everything on your boss's boyfriend and make it look like you were kidnapped by him, tying yourself up in his place?

I dunno, you could probably come up with a better idea than me.
>>
>>431805
Don't kill room service (in motel?) browse the web, search for supernatural happenings.
>>
>>431805
No murder for now. Wait for the bus, and then head for the nearest airport. We're heading to the Middle East boys.
>>
>>431805
>gain powers
We strangle him with the power of three people!
>>431812
We are the supernatural now! No need to check the web for that.
>>
>>431816
>airport
No! We will dominate the States with our Evil Deeds! Not some desert country!
>>
>>431812
>>431816
Alright it looks like no murder of room service. As for looking for supernatural happenings, you don't have computer internet access.

As for an airport, while you may have enough money for a ticket, you don't think you'll be able to travel out of the country without some planning. At least by flying that is, you'll need a passport, ID, stuff like that, so you'll first need to find someone who has those things.
>>
>>431842
Research ways to smuggle ourselves out of the country
>>
>>431842
Stay in county, don't do anything till bus leaves.
>>
>>431858
Well you always could try sneaking across the border to Canaba or Mecixo.

>>431859
You decide to just hang out in your room till the time for the bus, only going out to get food.

The time comes and you make your way over to the bus station, finding your bus with some people already on it. Anything you want to do, or just get on and ride it all the way?
>>
>>431883
Just ride.
>>
>>431888
You take the bus all the way to Yew Nork City. Or well a ways outside it as the station puts out, but still, you're closer now than you ever have been. It wouldn't be hard now to get a cab or train into town.

Standing at the bus station exit in someone else's body, a few wallets containing close to $3000 cash, and a bag full of some spare clothes, basic essentials and toiletries, and a glowing space rock, you wonder what to do now.
>>
>>431943
Get a apartment in some not super friendly but not too unfriendly neighbourhood.
>>
>>431943
Get a train into the city, see the sight, spy on potential victims!
>>
>>431962
Under which identity should you get the apartment. You're pretty sure they're going to want a background check.

>>431963
In the meantime you take a train into town, amazed at the big city and all the sights. At least one thing is for sure, you'd normally never be able to live in Yew Nork in your old life. The glowing rock though has allowed you to do this, to come this far.

You get off the train at Grand Center Station, hoisting your bag and looking around with stars in your eyes. For 21 year old Sarah, this is the most amazing experience you've ever had, and it's only slightly marred by the persistent truth that you murdered two people to get here.

>What to do now?
>>
>>432062
Boss, try to find one where they won't do a background check.
>>
>>432062
>>What to do now?
We can't get an appartment in NYC without mucho money, background checks etc... so we capture someone who already has an appartment!
>>
>>432075
You decide you don't want to drop your boss's body for now (let's call her Shelly) and would rather just find a place to live that won't put you at risk of suspicion. Your first order of business then it looks like, is to find an internet cafe and start looking around for a room.

Eventually you come to Carlslist and find a couple rooms for rent that you think could work. The choice then is where you want to live, since different parts of the city are available.

>State Island
>Manhatten
>Brooklin
>The Broncks
>Kings
>Jersy

>>432117
This would probably be for the best, but it wouldn't be impossible to get an apartment on your own. It might just take settling for a really run down place and giving a prospective landlord all the money you have up front.

>Either way choose, if you want to try to get your own place, or steal a local's identity.
>>
>>432138
Buy a plane ticket to Africa instead.
>>
>>432161
It's not going to be possible, you don't have enough money, and you'd need a passport.

Or rather, it's not going to be possible with your current identity, but that can be changed of course.
>>
>>432138
Take out someone in shadier part of town.
>>
>>432170
Look for a job that we can use our powers to make money. There's good old fashioned waitressing, the ever popular stripper, or just going straight for the money and hire ourselves out for escort services.
>>
>>432237
You consider getting a job and have your skillset, though it dawns on you to try less reputable professions. You can always try, but as a stripper you get the feeling you'd need to do an audition or something like that and hear back later, while working as an escort... well you wouldn't know the first thing about that.

Nothing is impossible, but you'd need a lead on these sorts of work.

>>432235
In the meantime you figure before you set your sights on anything like places to live, jobs to work, or plane tickets, you should try to pick up a new identity for the city. At least one that has money and maybe a place of residence. Searching online again, you pick up on the most dangerous place of Yew Nork, which appear to be Brooklin and the Broncks, each having several neighborhoods with high crime.

>Any preferences or plans?
>>
>>432282
Someone who lives alone, not on social media, in good shape, not watched by the police.
>>
>>432295
Well you can't really tell that unless you try to stalk them for awhile. I meant more, any preference to location, time, how you want to kill(?) them (for power gain purposes, and what to do with the body if you do kill them.
>>
>>432321
No preference. If we get a car, disposal like last time, if possible.
>>
>>432321
I got a good idea, we make a fake pass, go into a massive posh residential skyscraper. Show the guard our fake pass, burst a vein in his brain, go to the penthouse suite, fuck shit up and get dosh.
>>
>>432282
My best plan is to find a particularly nice looking streetwalker or two, lure them into an alley and eat them, try to combine different features from both of them, then look for a local strip joint and try out for auditions.
>>
>>432329
You pick a neighborhood and take the subway across town to wait things out till evening when you start going around, looking for trouble. You personally don't attract attention but then maybe you aren't going about the right places, though you do spy a few targets now and then on their own. But first;

>>432339
Does New York have streetwalkers anymore? If so then that would be an easy target, but I thought they generally got rid of that stuff. Correct me and action can go in that direction.

>>432336
This general idea could work, though it might be better to take the identity of say, a maintenance worker or maid or something, than trying to create yourself a fake ID for the job/building.
>>
Guys, we should start a crime empire, we can change faces at will, we'll be almost impossible to catch.
>>
>>432349
>Does New York have streetwalkers anymore?
disney killed them all.
>>
>>432349
Just pose as homeless in a subway station and fucking eviscerate anyone that gets close and run away. Making a clicking noise and shifting faces.
>>
>>432339
Also it occurs to me that you could probably just pay for an escort yourself via some online service, and then kill and take her identity when you two meet up.

Probably a lot easier than going around looking for some random hooker. Plus you'd gain her knowledge and business.
>>
>>432384
Fair enough. Let's order a girl from the menu, preferably a big dumb blonde.
>>
>>432403
>>432339
Alright then it looks like this general plan got the most votes.

Finding a nice hotel but not super nice or expensive, you search around online for proper escorts in YNC and find a few available. You even find a quite pretty one, and get into contact with her. You end up having to get a cheap prepaid phone though, but you set the whole thing up.

>How are you going to go about killing her? As usual this has a bearing on how you can gain power. Also do you want to keep Shelly's identity?
>>
>>432422
Change into ourself,tie her up, gag her, have fun, bite her in neck till she bleeds out.
>>
>>432435
This, but with the added caveat of eating the entire body so there's no body to bury, and a harder time for the police to pin us
>>
>>432435
Changing back to your true identity in what turns out to be a rather painful process, you wait for the escort to arrive. When you bring her in and settle the mood, you jump her when she doesn't expect it and fairly easily overpower her despite attempts at self-defense. Quickly you gag her so you don't have to worry about attention like you did with Shelly, and manage to decently tie her up.

After that like a repeat with Shelly, you take your time having fun with and tormenting her, watching her break and come to realize she isn't making it out of this. When the time comes though, you're not really sure about what to do if she leaves a body.

You can try biting her neck but it would probably be a repeat of Shelly's boyfriend, and the escort would just die leaving you onyl able to take her heart and hope you can try something different. Alternatively you can try testing out your powers on her while she's alive, you have done that yet, but you're not sure of the results.

>Your choice.
>>
>>432480
Me - sleep.
>>
>>432480
Just feed off of her. After that, see if you can combine different parts of your victims into a wholly different person, like your bosses face with the escort's boobs and your ass.
>>
>>432510
Rather than trying just drain her of her blood, you try directly feeding off her. Climbing onto her, you move your mouth to her neck but instead of biting down to kill her, you try and act like a leech instead and feed off her without immediately killing her. So putting your mouth on her neck you try sucking without puncturing the skin, and eventually do manage to draw blood, and at a pretty good rate. The escort more than ever tries to scream and break free from what must be painful, but between being tied up and your grip of her, she has no choice but to suffer the effect.

Several hours pass and eventually you get bored when it doesn't seem like she's dying and you also don't feel like you're getting anything from her, as well as confused when you start to almost feel her heartbeat as if it was yours. Trying to pull off her you realize your mouth is stuck to her neck, like your skin is literally fused to hers at that point. You realize that you aren't feeding from her, but instead inadvertently joined circulatory systems.

>Ability gained, Skin meld - Overtime and with maintained contact, you are able to latch onto another person like a parasite to feed from them, or eventually even fuse to them. The greater the amount of skin in contact, the greater extent you can feed from or fuse to them.

Well this is alarming, and you are actually a little scared by this development, since you're currently stuck to her against your will. She doesn't seem to realize yet though, but you imagine her panic would at least match if not greatly exceed your own.

>How do you want to deal with this? You could try to separate but you think that might rip at her throat when you pull apart, probably killing her.
>>
>>432543
Try to morph while latched on to her, try to engulf her entirely.
>>
>>432551
You attempt to change identity to Shelly since it's the only other female identity you have. You manage to change in minutes-long painful process, and you can feel part of the escort's neck also change but that's the extent by which you are fused to her, just by your mouth.

And while you're not used to the pain but are familiar with it, the escort is not, and now genuinely loses it and gets hysterical and screaming. She isn't able to make much sound of course, but now genuinely panicking for her life. You can feel in in her heart.

>Shape change semi-successful, it worked for you and part of her.
>>
>>432565
See if you can absorb her.
>>
>>432577
You figure you'll be able to shift more of her, if you are able to skin meld to a greater portion of her body. The process though will take several hours, as it did to fuse your mouth to her neck.

Do you still want to go along with it?
>>
>>432592
Fuck it, why not.
>>
>>432598
Well you've come this far. You realize though without direct skin contact it isn't going to work. Several minutes worth of awkward effort and getting over embarassment later, you manage to make the most amount of direct skin contact between your bodies with her as you can, and basically spoon with her.

Several hours pass and it's morning time already, you might have dozed off but come to realize that you can't separate yourself from the escort. Apparently as planned, your bodies fused, and though you still resemble two women laying together, you are actually connected wherever your skin was in contact. It's an extremely strange feeling, almost as if you have one large body now, and you can feel her body as if it's an extension of yours.

The escort herself is all screamed out and merely lays there shaking, probably in shock.

>What do you want to do now? If you want to shape change or try to absorb her, what do you want the end product to be?
>>
>>432627
Again, ABSORB.

Turn into a stereotypical 6'6 blonde bimbo.
>>
>>432640
You try to combine into one being, or rather like trying to pull yourself together. In what would be a most horrifying display to witness, your bodies draw together into a writhing meat blob mass, as you absorb the escort fully into yourself, and a single being takes shape from the writhing mass.

It takes some time though not nearly as long as fusing to her, but eventually the fleshy form draws into shape. The end result is a woman comprised of the both of you, an amalgam of both your traits and overall biomass. As such you're much taller and your overall size is greater, a body type between that of the two of you maintained.

>Ability gained, Absorb - A long process to accomplish, but you are able to incorporate another persons body into yours, combining biomass into one.
>150 Villain points.

Achievement possibly gained, you're a giant woman? More or less, you're now over 6 feet tall and weigh over 200 pounds. Geting up to look in the mirror, an experience which is entirely strange as you clumsily stumble about and fall over a few times, you look in the mirror to see yourself. Indeed, by appearance alone you look like what a daughter of you and the escort would look like, a mixed appearance. Though obviously your size and mass is much more.

>What to do now? You don't think you should make a regular habit of what you did, considering how long it took and the amount of privacy needed, but you definitely increased in power and learned new abilities.
>>
>>432678
After admiring yourself in the mirror, put on her clothes, head out the door and use all the dosh you've got to buy some new clothes, and find a place to work at, like a strip joint.

Super Stripper is go!
>>
>>432694
You encounter two problems with this. Firstly, because of the size difference of your new body, neither your clothes nor hers fit you. You could try reducing your size but that would probably require cutting or tearing off bits of yourself.

Secondly, it's a bit alarming when you realize, but you don't possess the same knowledge or memories the escort had. It seems because you didn't eat her heart but rather just absorbed her whole, you didn't gain her memories or personality knowledge like you did with Shelly and her boyfriend. Instead you just converted all of her into biomass and incorporated that into your body.

So you are bigger, stronger, all of that, but you didn't get the same kind of power gain as you did when eating a heart.
>>
>>432758
Ok, fine. Just morph our body to LOOK like it's wearing clothes. Eat the clothes if we have to.

If that fails, giant naked woman robs a lingerie store.
>>
>>432774
Taking on identities is one thing but you're not at a point where you feel able to just morph your body to what you want at will.

However a halfway point, you stretch/rip the clothes you have a little to fit, and then just double layer them so together they do a job of covering you up.

And away you go to buy proper fitting clothes. Unfortunately the escort didn't have much money on her, so your total amount has only gone down really. Still, you have enough for clothes.

After that, you're looking for a strip club if I'm not mistaken?
>>
>>432787
Yep. Something classy, or at least classy-ish. A place where the girls don't have a meth habit or caesarean scars, but not nice enough to host politicians or athletes.
>>
>>432801
Well you start looking for a job as a stripper online. Eventually you find a place that you think fits the bill, and you approach to ask about a job when you know they're hiring. They tell you to come back for an "interview" two days from now.

Looks like you've got a little time. What do you want to do now? You're still out of a place to live, and don't have a lot of money left.
>>
>>432815
Any memories of our bosses' or her boyfriend's ATM card pin numbers? Because if we do, just drain their accounts of dosh.

If not, try to live frugally for a day or so, maybe look for a room for let, and try not to murder someone else for a few days. The escort thing was a bit much for you to handle, although you're not complaining about the new body.
>>
>>432839
You do know their bank info. The question is if you want to hit them again, since it would lead a trail to this city if the police go digging.

As for a room, you could try that new SkyR&R site you've seen ads for, where people rent out rooms in their places for a night or couple of nights. It will take ID though, but you could use the escorts.
>>
>>432850
>The question is if you want to hit them again, since it would lead a trail to this city if the police go digging.

Yeah, but just the boyfriend's bank info. That way, it'll seem like he might have killed her and then skipped town to the city. After that, though we should ditch both the cards into the river. And only enough from it to look like he fled to another country by plane.

As for the room, try that site, looking for a room for a few days. Somewhere quiet-ish, with neighbors who are relatively calm about strangers.
>>
>>432879
You hit up the boyfriend's account for another thousand dollars, then toss the cards. After that you go looking for a room, and find one that you think suits those needs.

When you show up it's a young couple who are letting the spare bedroom of their flat. You try to put on your best face (not literally) and act like the best tennant ever, while they seem pleased if a bit intimidated by your physical stature. You make up some story about being a basketball player in town, and they buy it.

You've now got a room let for three days with them. What to do now, I assume until the audition at the strip club?
>>
>>432899
A mix between practicing both your morphing and stripping in the room with the windows closed during most of the day. After that, focus on making a basic comic book heroine costume.
>>
>>432915
You try to practice shape changing without losing your form. You don't really manage to change shape, but you do manage to get your powers to better improve your physical abilities, making you faster and react better, on top of the basic strength and endurance improvement. As well spending those days inside testing out your powers, to start to become aware of other hearts and blood around you.

>Ability gained, Blood sense - you notice the beating hearts and rush of blood of other beings around you to a certain distance, and can even detect them through walls and other cover.

Also you try to practice stripping but it's difficult for you out of embarassment but also because you're not used to this new body. Still, better than going in blind.

---

The audition seems to go well to you, but they let you know that they don't really have a market for women as big or tall as you. They can give you a job, but during off hours and it won't pay well. Are you still interested?
>>
>>432934
It's something. Take it.

It's better then being a waitress, escorting, or panhandling in the subway.

Besides, if there's any dudes who find tall chicks hot, we can gouge them a bit more out of them.

Also, see if there's any dancing classes around the city. We might be 6'6, but skill might make up for height.
>>
>>432951
Well you certainly think waitressing would be better.

Either way you look for exotic dance classes in town and find one not too far away, and not too expensive.

So it looks like you're starting to piece together a new life here, the only thing you're short on is a permanent place to live. The let rooms for nights at a time are nice, but it's a hassle to have to keep finding new rooms, and it's definitely more expensive in the long run than if you were to get your own place.

So what do you want to do now? Anything beyond the new norm of your new life, of working as a stripper and taking dance classes?
>>
>>432965
Earn enough cash to buy a base of oper- er, an apartment first, then cobble together something for a babby's first superheroine costume. The time spent working on our new life will help let the heat from our murders die down. After that, we can become COLLOSIA, THE SUPER SKANK! DEFENDER OF TRUTH! JUSTICE! FREEDOM! REASONABLY PRICED LOVE! AND A HARD BOILED EGG!
>>
>>432984
On a stripper's budget you're never going to be able to buy a place, but you would be able to rent one after awhile.

After a couple weeks though, you start to have run-ins and issues, when the occasional person confuses you for a missing person, the escort. You wonder if it's risky to remain as this body ongoing.

>All the while between work and classes, you you try to have or make a social life for yourself? You're in a new city, for as much time as you spend in it, do you get to know people or take up any activities or hobbies? How do you spend the little free time you have?
>>
>>432996
>the occasional person confuses you for a missing person, the escort

Alter your face a little bit, putting a bit of your bosses nose, pump up the lips, and lengthen your hair a bit. Claim it was a bit of surgery for a deviated septum, thanks to an abusive boyfriend. Also, try changing your hair colors every few weeks or so, to make it harder to be tracked down.

As for a social life, sure! Hang out with your co-workers after hours, particularly the bartender, she's pretty cool, and that Ukrainian immigrant girl. Hang out together with them, buy clothes, watch some movies together, that sort of stuff.

After hours, though, continue to make your costume and practice your powers in secret. You don't want your new friends to get caught up in your plans. You've read enough of your brother's Tickdude's comics to know that things can get hairy with friends and family...
>>
OP, are you dead?
>>
>>433126
Not dead, just got a bite to eat. Will resume shortly.
>>
>>433034
Under pressure, you take the time to really try to focus your abilities and at least try to alter your face. Standing in front of a mirror and concentrating enough, after a few days you start to get the hang of it, and minor alterations to the face become possible. At least enough that you look less and less like escort if you need to. As for hair, dying it is possible but you aren't able to control the length.

All the while you spend time with and get to know your co-workers, both in and out of work. You never thought much of strippers in your old life, your mom taught you as much, but your thoughts on the matter are different now that you are one.

In private though you continue to try and improve your powers as well as working on a costume, though you know it would be a lot easier if you ate the heart of a seamstress or costume designer. At least though you're starting to get more used to your new body, and after several weeks you're able to move into your own apartment. It's nothing much, but it's always there. You do kind of miss your old place though, your old friends and family, and Jeff. Maybe for the best though, that you did up and disappear.

>What now? You've got all the basics of a new life, including a place to live now, and income.
>>
>>433245
I mean at this point I believe the goal is to accumulate power, no?
>>
>>433254
The goal can be whatever you want, though the effort so far has indeed been towards gaining power. How you go about that and what you do is up to you though.

And if you want to act or describe other goings on in your life, there'll be benefits towards it.
>>
>>433245
Well, time for your superhero debut! Even if your costume isn't exactly professional looking, most of the movies have the newly minted super try to start out with a scratch built ghetto costume. It's expected, at this point; hell, it's practically routine!

Anyway, put on your red hot pants and crop top, wrap that scarf around your face (after altering your face to look enough like a local news anchor for people to get confused on your identity), and head down to bust some evildoers!

Because if we have to kill someone, we might as well do it to a selfish asshole...
>>
>>433278
Ain't no way in hell you're going out to fight crime looking like a streetwalker. Even if you were a supervillain with some skin to show off, you have more sense than to go gallavanting around YNC in little but underwear.

Changing your face is doable though, and you're getting pretty good at it.

Anyway so as for fighting crime or at least killing evil people, where do you want to start looking or go after? You don't have super senses to just know where crimes are taking place.
>>
>>433296
>you have more sense than to go gallavanting around YNC in little but underwear.

Well, I tried. I guess something that shows off enough of your figure to be noticed, but covered enough to take a knife or two.

Anyway, look for the areas around Brooklin or The Broncks. Those areas have a higher then average chance of drug related crimes and muggings. Also, listen when you're with the girls about any problems with gangs or drugs happening where they live.
>>
>>433296
You look like a streetwalker. Walk the streets. Beat the shit out of creepy guys. Take their money and buy decent fucking clothes.
>>
>>433304
>>433309
You start around the more dangerous parts of the city during nights. Something you soon realize is that you have no way of knowing where crime is going on, and without some method of fast travel you can't be around enough to hunt it down. You do manage to occasionally stop a mugging or sexual assault here and there, but the question comes down to,

>Are you killing these people, and if so how are you killing them/disposing of them?

Overtime your efforts might start to turn heads, so how you work is kind of important.
>>
>>433326
Punting them through windows and shoving them into trash cans is what I'd prefer, as long as we get what's in their wallets afterwards. Besides, with three murders on our belt, that's a lot of heat to bring on our head.

Also, try to save up for a police scanner using the cash from the punks and thugs.
>>
>>433326
>>433333
Oh yeah, and see if we can absorb things other then people. Like, buy a large turkey, cook it, then see if we can absorb it.
>>
>>433333
Well the only thing is, the quickest way to increase your powers is taking their hearts. You might remember though that by doing so you gain their memories. A police scanner might be handy, but collecting the memories of various persons of the criminal world in the city, might be handier.

Just a thought. Either way though you're taking their money, enough that you pick up a police scanner just in case.
>>
>>433339
Good effort, in your meantime you try to experiment with things other than people. From what you try, it looks like things dead long enough, and especially things cooked, you can't gain much from. You try things living though and your absorbing power works just fine (you gain that much more mass, and not wanting to get a lot bigger you don't try it more than once), and perhaps more disturbingly your heart taking ability. You haven't yet had the courage to try changing into an animal though.
>>
>>433341
>A police scanner might be handy, but collecting the memories of various persons of the criminal world in the city, might be handier.

True, that's fair enough. I'm more of a Good Karma sort of guy, though.

Also, since we do eat hearts, I guess, try experimenting with a cow's heart you buy from the deli, and see if we can get memories from things that are not human.

And buy that police scanner as well.
>>
>>433354
Well it's your choice how you act towards the baddies, just throwing it out there that you do have the potential to overtime start to understand and know criminal activities in the city. If you're willing to get your hands dirty of course.

For the cow heart, it doesn't really work, you figure a fresh one is needed. Though when you tried it with the birds you experimented on, it did work, though it wasn't too pleasant, animal memories are weird. You wonder though if eating say, a bull's heart will grant you a bull's strength or allow you to turn into one. Any animal really, but that's an obvious extreme.

Talking of the police scanner, anything you're out for in particular? How high priority of crimes are you interested in getting involved with? The higher you go, the greater the chance of being noticed, obviously.
>>
>>433352
Well, I guess find a dead bird (or kill one), consume it, then see if we can morph a small bit of us into a bird at first and have it spy around for us.
>>
>>433362
Just some basic stuff, like street level drugs, pimps, muggings, easy new superhero stuff for now. Later we can go for the bigger guys, when we have a better idea of who runs the rackets.

Also, start leaving a calling card at the scene, something like the words Colossia, in front of an amazonian figure of a woman. WEAR GLOVES BEFORE PLACING THEM!

Also, what's the rumor mill around the strip joint? Any word of our deeds from our co-workers?
>>
>>433363
Well you get yourself a live pidgeon and get its heart. Same as always you get some memories but don't seem to be able to change into the bird or control it or make some sort of duplicate. You wonder if it has something to do with your size, maybe attempting it with an animal about your size or bigger, could work.

>>433381
You keep things low key, and start gaining Hero points for your deeds. No idea or word yet on the bigger fish to fry though. You also look into some sort of item or object to leave behind, to create a persona.

At the strip club there isn't really talk of your deeds, but there's the occasional rumor about someone being saved from a mugging or something by a tall woman. You start to wonder if maybe your appearance might be too obvious in this regard, how many 6'6" women are running around YNC?
>>
>>433401
Just keep at it. Hopefully the Batman effect will happen, and no-one will realize about how you two are actually one and the same.

Maybe look to see if what we did to our face could be done with the rest of our body, like give ourselves a girl pack and biceps for our crimefighting persona, and a somewhat normal appearance for our day to day stuff.

Also, start looking to stop human trafficking. You did a book report on it once, might be time to put your money where your mouth is.

And keep practicing your powers in secret. In fact, try separating a small part of your body to form it into a bird, and see what it does.
>>
>>433401
>don't seem to be able to change into the bird or control it or make some sort of duplicate.

Well, never mind that last bit here.
>In fact, try separating a small part of your body to form it into a bird, and see what it does.
>>
>>433431
You keep at it. It's a good thing you can change your appearance though because you get the feeling no batman effect is going to take place. You do practice with changing parts of your body now though, and having been able to do it with your face, you reach some success with your body. In time with practice, you feel you'll be able to get it as well as you have with your face. The problem though you've found, is trying to change back to your normal form. Since your larger body is itself not your true form, whenever you change your body and then try to change back it's diffiicult to get it exactly right. Kind of like sitting in a comfy position for a long time and having to get up, then when you sit back down you can't really find that comfy position you had. So you can give yourself abs or biceps, longer legs or arms, things like that, but returning to "normal" gets harder the more you deviate from it.

You want to set your sights on human traficking you figure, but you wouldn't really know where to begin. Maybe spending enough time at the police scanner may turn something up, but that's all based on luck.

---

Ongoing you try to do good and gain Hero points, and it's worth considering that if you do good enough and reverse your Villain points accumulation, there's potential for the glowing rock to change, and your powers to change too.

>Basically your current powers aren't really well-suited for a hero or hero work, so if people decide they'd rather stop being a villain and want to become a hero, the option is thre for your powers to change to your original abilities.
>>
>>433449
Well, it's just me now, so yeah, gonna go with changing the powerset a bit. How about less flying brick or Superman powers, more Dr. Hank Pym Giant Man powers. It'll work well with our abilities to eat a lot and gain mass.

Also, what're we at for hero points to villain points?
>>
>>433459
We'll see if people (other timezones, other players) feel different about the power change, I was just putting it up as an option.

As for hero and villain points, I'll let you know when it gets close. Won't be for a long while though, you killed three people, tortured two of them.
>>
>>433461
>Won't be for a long while though, you killed three people, tortured two of them.

Yeah, I remember that.

Anyway, let's work on making our body less huge after we eat a large creature by absorbing a larger animal, like a raccoon or five, and having it effect our weight, rather then height.
>>
>>433467
Back to experimenting, you try to go bigger. Finding a racoon in YNC isn't easy but stray cats isn't hard, especially when you can detect where they are.

With some concentration and practice though, it has the desired effect, and rather than changing your overall size, the biomass just adds to your weight.

One way or the other you're definitely getting better at this.
>>
>>433477
Last bit for tonight before I throw in the towel for attempting to be a good guy, and everyone else goes back for naughty shenanigans.

Try absorbing one of those tour horses that guides take tourists around on. See if we can use the extra biomass from it to become an even more muscular version of ourselves, then try to become a centaur, then a bustier version. After that, check our current weight, shift back to our 6'6" persona, then head over to our job for our shift.

Also, is there anything happening at our workplace? Any new girls, any new rumors, shit like that? Give me some leads to go on for plot points, yeah?
>>
>>433497
Well it takes some effort to track and find some drawhorses and where they're penned, but after several days you do eventually find it. Overnight you go through the long process of melding yourself to the horse, a fairly hard effort since you're working with the strength of about four people but still not on a horse's level. Still with careful tying and a little sedation you manage. Before dawn you reconstitute yourself with the biomass of a whole horse and the result is fairly distressing. Since there's only so much you can focus to musculature and weight, the rest goes to size. You end up over nine feet tall and hugely built, giving you the rough profile now of a standing grizzly bear but more than twice as heavy. If you thought moving around in a body made of two women was hard, try adding a horse's size and weight into the mix.

Before you can experiment with trying to turn into a centaur or anything, you first have to escape this place. You could of course always just shed all the biomass and return to your original form, since you don't really have time to slowly shed until you're a reasonable (but still large) size to leave. As it stands though, your clothes aren't going to fit your new fairly giant form, and escape like this is going to be hard without being noticed.

As for work, this would have been from the day before you tried melding with a horse, but there are two new girls and now there's actual gossip of some sort of crime fighter on the loose. There isn't much info other than it's a she, and she seems to mostly target petty crime. The word is though the police are treating it seriously and looking into the matter. There's also whispers that higher grade criminals like gangs are annoyed by the matter, you hear from one of the girls who's ex is in a local gang supposedly.

>But all that is miles away. Right now, you're a hulking monstrosity, naked and in a horse stable not long before they are taken out for the day's work.
>>
>>433528
It's time to embrace our True Selves. We're no hero material, we're the Super Villain of NYC! Vanish into the sewer system and start to eat the hearts of people to gain more Power!
>>
>>433528
Shed most of the mass of the horse into garbage bags, then lift and carry what you can back home. See if there's any way to reabsorb the horse slurry when we get back, and prepare for a hard night soon, as you're going to be taking on a gang soon.

Also, see about upgrading your super costume soon. You've moved up in the rankings of superherodom by annoying a gang, might as well try to look good while beating the shit out of them.
>>
>>433544
>>433545
Well these two can work together, so you quickly make a break for it and rip open a storm drain to disappear into the sewer. Maybe a couple people saw you but they might just as soon think a giant stocky naked woman running past was a halicination, as sure as the police would if they reported it. For the most part.

So you escaped and are now naked in a cistern, and you're over 9 feet tall and over 1500 pounds. You've had better days for sure, but you've also had worse.

>It's not glamorous but for now you have some privacy. How, if you want to, do you plan on getting back to your place? Or are you going to remain like this?
>>
>>433572
Hang out there for a few hours, then try to make your way back to your apartment, shedding biomass as you go. When you're about 6'6" and whatever you were before eating a horse, head up to the surface and prepare for tonight.
>>
>>433572
>>433575
Why should we make ourselves weaker before we take over NYC's gangs? We stay in this form! We eat the hearts of some gang members till we find the first boss who we eat to gain his underworld knowledge!
>>
Let's face it: we haven't remembered one coworker by name, instead referring to them as "the girls ", we haven't connected to them emotionally at all, we're not made to talk to these puny mortals, we're made to rule them! Muahaha!
>>
>>433609
Because it's cold and dank and full of shit down here, there's no cable, no comfortable bed, and eventually we're gonna outgrow it.
>>
>>433613
We can take over the gangs' hideouts! No one will believe them that they're ruled over by a giant!
>>
>>433575
>>433609
>>433612
>>433613
>>433617
Well I'm turning in for the night, so you guys and any other players, figure out which path you want to take, villainous or heroic. When I get back, we'll continue from there.
>>
>get power to be untraceable / unrecognisable
>instead becomes almost 7 feet woman / 9 feet monster
>>
>>433680
>power to be unrecognisable
Power to combine the strength of anything we absorb and kill! Muahahaha!

>>433636
>path >villainous or heroic
We're born to be a Super Villain, of course! Puny mortals, fear us! Tremble! Kneel before our Greatness!
>>
Where is corporal fluffles in all of this? We'll obviously need a supervillan sidekick when we eat everyone's hearts, right?
>>
>>433830
>supervillan sidekick
The psychiatric clinic! There we will find our sidekick, surely!
"Who's the baddest of the bad? Come out!"
>>
Why don't we just have 2 personalities? We can be giantess crime hunter by day, and faceless soul eater by night!
>>
>>435641
Supporting.
>>
>>435641
We'll need sleep eventually, anon.
>>
OP, stop being dead, already.
>>
>>435693
We could swap personalities every so often. Or, when we get a certain amount of villain points, we swap to hero, and vice versa.
>>
>>435824
Like make it that the villain parts are because of the stone, or from hunger, or from the instincts of the impending blobgirl we're slowly evolving into, maybe?
>>
>>435838
Idk, that's up to OP if he's not dead
>>
>>435838
The way it will go, your powerset will evolve if your hero or villain level gets high enough.

For villain level, it will be a choice between two paths. Currently you're running off sort of a mix between the two powersets, and making the choice will remove the abilities of the one you didn't pick, but make the abilities of the one you did pick much stronger.

>Bruja - A pure blood witch, gaining your powers from consuming hearts. You're able to utilize blood-based abilities on yourself, as well as others.
>Skin Shaper - Basically you're The Thing, gaining your powers from absorbing biomass. You're able to utilize abilities based on controlling your own biomass and that which you obtain by consuming or absorbing.

Turning hero would also present end-game choices for defined powersets, but you're not nearly as close.
>>
>>435967
Well, judging by the powersets, I'd prefer being a friendly neighborhood blobgirl next door.

Speaking as such, are we back up for playing? Because if that's the case, I'd like to practice altering our mass to be more boneless so we can escape through drains. Then after that, eat a giraffe at the zoo, before attempting to go back home and filling our fridge with our meat.
>>
>>435992
Play can continue, but I have to duck out for a little while in about an hour. After that though I can stay for another few hours. I'd wanted to keep play going today but unexpectedly was busy.

>Anyway so,

You're huge and naked in the sewer. You have plans for later, about maybe getting more biomass. In the meantime though you try to experiment with your own form, since you've never had this much biomass so it's a good chance.

You find that you can reduce your bone mass, but without that support your body loses form and you do start to resemble an actual blob. And not even in the good sense, you're barely able to move at all, so trying to fit through tight spaces would only work if you were pressed right up against them.

In the process though you start to get the hang of bone altering, such that you're able to change flesh and bone back and forth.

>Ability learned, Bone shift - You are able to transition from flesh to bone. The most basic use you found was turning into a blob, but this could also take the effect of say, growing an extra arm or having a mouth with fangs sprout from your back, wacky stuff like that.
>>
>>436066
All right, then. Let's try shifting our lower half to look like Jabba's body, and our top half to look like our professional body, then try to split ourself in two and see if we can command it to move without touching it, or by switching to our 6'6" form and connecting the rest of the biomass to us by a meat leash. After that, we should head back to our apartment through the sewer system to drop off our biomass and dress for work.
>>
>>436092
You try experimenting with controlling biomass not connected to you, though it doesn't seem to work. Connecting to just part of it, like by a hand does seem to work but it's very hard and unwieldy, like trying to operate something far away with one of those plastic pincher claws. It probably has something to do with not being oriented around your core body.

So you resolve to head back to your place, but you have two problems, of how to get all this biomass back there, and how to get clothes. You were able to sneak from where the horses were to a sewer opening, but you know trying to get from the sewer to your place, you'd get noticed by quite a few people to be sure.

>How do you want to make it through this?
>>
>>436119
Condense the biomass and try to make it dense bone on the outside of the skin. Then put on clothes, it might look like we are wearing body armor or something but it's better than leaving it behind.
>>
>>436119
>how to get clothes

Probably the easier one to answer, call up one of your stripper friends and ask for some help. Ask her to bring some clothes that could fit you to the sewer entrance, offering about a hundred or two for keeping it quiet. Hide the biomass further down the sewer to avoid scaring her, and put back the grate into place after you're done so you can get it later.

>how to get all this biomass back there

After we get our clothes, let's see about renting a Uhaul truck and getting some cardboard boxes. It'll be a hit to the wallet again, but hopefully we can get our goo to the apartment.
>>
>>436140
If we can do this, forget the stuff I just said down here >>436154. Just claim we're cosplaying as a character from a video game!
>>
>>436140
Between turning it to bone and trying to condense the biomess in other ways, you manage to get a lot of, but not all of it to your 6'6" height though larger all around. Basically your form is a solid bone exoskeleton, forcibly keeping a large amount of biomass contained within. You can't move well like it, but for moving biomass it works.

Though you aren't able to just put on clothes since they got left behind.

>>436154
A coworker would be nice, but you have no way of contacting anyone. In sneaking out to find absorb the horse, you didn't bring personals with you like a wallet or phone.

That's a good idea though to get the leftover mass back to your place, but there isn't so much left that a uhaul is really neccessary. A number of trash bags would work well enough.
>>
>>436184
leave the extra mass, getting more will not be difficult. Try to form the exoskeleton to look like some type of clothing so you can walk home.
>>
>>436195
Or better yet like a cosplay of a famous character, infect we should make it bombastic so we can fit all of the mass.
Oh shit nigger shapeshift into guts with bone berserker armor and the dragonslayer, fuck that should do it.
>>
>>436184
After we get our biomass to the apartment (claiming we're advertising for a new Prototype 3 game if anyone asks), grab a bunch of trash bags and get the rest of it with a Uhaul pickup to get it home.

After that, practice your absorption speed on rats and cats for preparation for infiltrating the zoo...

We're going for an elephant.
>>
>>436211
Nah nah nah, zoo heist is inevitable but first we need to be able to consolidate biomass into super mass, dense as fuck inhuman muscles and shit you know?
>>
>>436219
Well, at the very least, we should practice getting quicker with our absorbing technique. Don't want to cut it close again.

Although, if we wait on the zoo heist for now, we should start preparing for it later, to make a quick escape with most of the mass we get.
>>
>>436195
By shifting the shape you sort of manage to make it look like some sort of hard suit of armor. It's definitely weird looking and you probably shouldn't let people notice it too long, but keeping up a good pace you manage to make it from the sewer to your apartment.

At the same time you also find a sewer opening cloes to your apartment if you ever need it. Back at your apartment, you shed most of the mass, then go back to get the rest from the sewers using trash bags.

Then it's off to work.

---

You get back to your place later with the intent to practice gaining biomass and faster from small animals, but to your alarm you find that most of the biomass you shed has withered and died after being separated from you for long enough. It's a disappointing setback, but also good to know.
>>
>>436231
Did we form the biomass into a harder material like bone or would that just degrade as well?
>>
>>436219
The question would be how tall do you want to be? Your height will roughly determine how much biomass you can compress to a high level of density, along with a muscled physique.

As you get better with your powers the amount of density may change, increase, but there will always be a limit, you can't feasibly store say a whale's amount of biomass in the form of a 5'6" human woman.

>Also this is where I'll be heading out for like 30-45 minutes, so feel free to determine how you want to go about improving your powers and collecting biomass (if that's the path your villainous powers want to go).
>>
>>429668
>Jerk off

>>436231
How much leftover mass do we have left?

What's the news regarding the horse?

After all that, let's head out to take care of some petty crime. Use our Scanner to look for interesting emergencies.
>>
>>436233
You tried leaving some in different forms, and the form itself didn't matter. It seems if any biomass is separate from you for long enough, it ends up dying. You can still eat it for nutrition, but you'd only gain a small amount of mass from the nutrition it normally would provide.

Basically when separated, flesh decays and dies, while bones dry out and crack.

>>436243
There isn't much left, just what you were able to stash in your fridge. It seems cold does a bit to keep the biomass preserved, but really only the freezer kept it wholly preserved, the fridge showed some signs of decay.

A problem to this though, as you try to reabsorb the mass from the freezer, not only is it very painful, but enough of the cold stuff being taken into your body, seems to have a temporary nullifying effect where you have trouble using your abilities at all.

On the topic of the horse you haven't heard anything yet, but then it's only been a day since they would have found it missing.

>As for going out to crime fight, will continue when I get back.

>>436241
Well it's technically possible if you take on the identity of a guy with your powers.
>>
>>436239
A method I want to try out is creating complete extensions to our body, we already know how to be a blob so we can work from there to make tendrils that can have eyes or function as whips/spears etc.
Other than that just some simple chemistry research to see what we can conjure and use to make our body more dense.
>>
>>436239
>Your height will roughly determine how much biomass you can compress to a high level of density, along with a muscled physique.

Out of curiosity, could we also store more mass if we shape our body to look like a fat chick? Because fat chicks in America, in this day and age, are less noteworthy then 6'6" amazons or muscular tomboys, and they look like they can carry more mass. It could possibly be our fuel tanker equivalent.
>>
>>436258
Well, the freezer's our best workaround right now, short of jarring it in pickled formaldehyde, and I don't even WANT to know what the effects of THAT are. Should probably buy a large freezer for storage...
>>
>>436263
You can take on a fat girl appearance, sure. Though you get the feeling SJWs will have a ball when newts gets out about a fat woman going around fighting crime.

>>436271
You could get a big meat freezer, but that's still not all that much to store. Maybe multiple freezers but that would be both expensive, and take up a lot of space.

>>436260
With the mass you have, you try to experiment by turning into a blob and then changing from there. With a lot of practice, you are able to create tendril-like extensions that can reach out pretty far and whip around, though they aren't particularly strong. If you lend them bone support they can be stronger though, and also protrude sharp bone out to make claws or stabby extensions. You're not yet able to do something as fine as making eyes though, let alone putting them on fleshy extensions.

When it comes to density that's just going to take practice, though absorbing denser meat will allow you to imitate it afterward. If you find some exceedingly heavy animal you'd be better able to compress mass. When it comes to chemistry though that's totally up to you (the player) to come up with ideas for what you could do or procude. The most obvious choice seems to be making stomach acid and shooting it out, or absorbing something like a snake and afterward being able to produce its venom, but there's probably more creative things you can think of beyond that.

>Now to possible crime fighting, what did you want to try to do?
>>
>>436446
Just go to abandoned warehouses on the coast where there are bound to be black market dealings, lay in the shadows and then pounce.
Did we lose our blood control already? Like we can't cause aneurysms at will to poor sods?
>>
>>436464
You didn't lose your blood powers yet, as you haven't gotten villainous to choose which path you want to go down. However, causing aneurisms, heart attacks, or flooding people's lungs with blood, are in the realm of the blood witch. It's more based around being able to affect other people just as much as yourself, instead of the blob powers which are all about you alone.

At any rate you start hanging around warehouses, towards the abandoned type, out along the waterfront. You don't notice anything as serious as black market deals, but you do occasionally come across drug deals or secret exchanges.

The quesiton is how do you want to respond to these situations. Or more specific, how far do you want to go with these people, and what you do to them?
>>
>>436526
Beat up the mooks until they're out, then take the richest looking one and fuse with him until he cracks and spits out who he works for and where the product is located. Don't eat him, just scare him.

After all that, head home and see if you can gain mass and increase your absorption speed by absorbing ridiculous amounts of normal food.
>>
>>436526
>occasionally come across drug deals or secret exchanges
Absorb all those involved, eat their hearts!
>>
>>436661
You spring your attack at times when there's a few people. When it's more than 3, you don't risk it in case they've got guns. So far you just don't think yourself to be that strong yet, to be able to engage that many people with non-lethal intent.

The times you do though, it goes pretty well for you when you ambush them. From what you find though, most of these guys seem to be working for themselves, only one situation had connections to a gang. Your chance at finding this sort of information though isn't that high to begin with. You have the idea to threaten them or interrogate them by fusing to them, and letting pain or fear do the trick. The problem is that you don't know how to unfuse with someone so it's the same as if you intended to absorb them. Another problem is, if you're looking to fuse to them to any significant extent, you know it requires both of your bodies to be in a state of undress, and you're really not keen on beating up guys and stripping the one in charge so you can basically spoon with him on an abandoned warehouse floor pretty much.

In the meantime you try to see if just eating huge amounts of normal food has any effect. While it does seem to work a little bit, it's terribly inefficient, and only increases mass at the normal rate one would expect to get fat by. Not to mention that at least in your fit 6'6" form you already have to eat a lot just to satisfy your basic nutrition. It seems that gaining living biomass is still the best, or at least the most efficient means.

>On a separate note and more in your normal life, you've had a few imporant problems come up. The first is that there have been problems at work and with friends, since your appearance keeps changing ever so slightly. As said before, with all the changes to your body so often, overtime you lose the original appearance (original here being the 6'6" body) and can't just explain it away with medical procedures. Friends and co-workers are feeling uncomfortable with you, and several times there's been cases where someone didn't believe it was you, and showing ID wasn't possible because even if the 6'6" body did have ID, you wouldn't look like it.
>The second problem and a lot more distressing, and probably related to the first, but overtime you've noticed that your body has started changing in a way you notice wasn't intentional and you can't control. Put bluntly, you're starting to express equine traits. It seems absorbing the horse wasn't without risk, and like with the escort, some of it's genes have become incorporated into yours. It's been only a few days since you absorbed the animal, but already you're starting to notice your face and features becoming creepily less human-like, it's becoming harder/uncomfortable to remain bipedal, and other features like your organs and preferred diet are changing against your will.
>>
>>436671
Well it's one or the other really. You have to choose if you want to get the blood power benefits of eating a heart, or the biomass power benefits of absorbing a person, but you can't get the benefits of both. You can alternate though, if you've got more than one victim.
>>
>>436733
>blood power benefits of eating a heart
Power! Eat their hearts! (and their memories) Muahahaha!

>>436732
>imporant problems
>changing in a way you notice wasn't intentional and you can't control
We shall stop participating in mortal society! We will revisit our plans to take over the gangs of this city! The Underworld is ours for the taking! Like a fresh apple, we pluck this power and become Great!
>>
Monster Horse!
>>
>>436732
Our superhero name can be ... ponygirl!
Our supervillian name can be ... chilly filly ... night mare, eh
>>
>>436732
Go out and capture a drug dealer. Shed like 100 pounds of biomass and replace it with the dealer's mass. Do this until we stop turning into horsewoman. Also, quit our job and start funding ourselves with money taken from dealers.
>>
>>437044
>funding ourselves with money taken from dealers
Yes! The Underworld's money is our money now! Arrr, we're land pirates now!
>>
>>436732
Gonna go with >>437044's suggestion for now, but I've got an idea on taking over a criminally operated strip joint later, after work is finished.
>>
>>437044
In a panic to counteract the horse genes, you start looking for the same sorts of shady isolated deals. Same as before, you ambush and attack them, but drag the drug dealer off each time to somewhere with privacy (probably the sewer) before shedding their weight in biomass, and then absorbing them. You manage to do this every few days, and over a couple weeks you seem to have offset the creeping influence of the horse genes. A side effect though that your genes are now mixed with like 6 other people, so your features are pretty mixed up and you're starting to look quite different from your normal 6'6" self. Because of this and to avoid problems you quit your job and for now get by with the money you get from the criminals. Because of the several murders by absorbing though, you gain a lot of villain points. The good news is you're becoming rather good at fusing with and absorbing biomass, and whereas with the escort it took something like 12 hours, now you can manage with an adult male in about an hour. That includes fusing, absorbing, and incorporating into a new body.

>It looks like you offset the horse genes well enough, and are self-sufficient for now off of fighting crime. However, even though you quit your job, your social life is still connected to you. As such, your friends and co-workers still want to hang out and spend time together now and then, and separate of that, a guy who showed interest in you (whithout knowing about your former job) is trying to spend time as well.

What to do now?
>>
>>437223
>What to do now?
We can't really meet our social circle because we look different now, they won't recognize us.

Instead we look for a gang to take over. Eat their leader's heart, change into him/her and lead that gang into a gang war with others.

Watch the world burn!
>>
>>437223
Fake our death, and then keep doing heroic stuff with the 6'6" amazonian identity.

Meanwhile, do what
>>437236
said, but change our face before doing so. Keep pictures of both identities somewhere, so we have a reference to change back into.
>>
>>437257
Going to agree with the Amazon heroine stuff, but rather then faking our death, going to go with saying that we got a call that our father got leukemia, and we're heading back to the Midwest to take care of him before he dies.
>>
>>437257
You decide to sever ties with your friends and co-workers with the excuse that you need to leave to be with family, and take care of a terminal relative until death. It's hard since you were close with them and hearing their sadness over your leaving, but you feel it is neccessary if you want to continue with this life. Do you want to do this same thing with the guy interested in you? He wasn't a part of your social circle of friends, and isn't aware of your former profession and life. Either way you realize you might need to change your appearance enough that you don't run the risk of bumping into a former friend or co-worker while going about the city and having them recognize you. Unless of course you don't care about that.

Also to try and curb the problem of slowly losing your identity overtime, you take a number of pictures of your face and body from different angles, so you have something to go by. However, it's only a rough gague to go by. If you get way too far removed from the appearance you can change back, but subtle differences overtime are going to be hard to notice.

>>437236
You decide to make your move on a gang, the one you crossed paths with the most. It takes a fair bit of work though but you finally manage to find one lone member and eat his heart. You gain his knowledge, the possibility of taking on his identity, as well as some activities of the gang and who the leader is.

>What do you want to do with this now? Besides this effor towards a gang, on the side you still try to keep up with heroics. It's becoming hard though, to balance the villainous pursuits with the heroic ones.
>>
>>437313
Tell lover boy you're not looking for a relationship right now.

Take down the gang, steal their monies, eat the boss man, call the cops on boss man's phone, and then move to Vas Legas.
>>
>>437336
This.
>>
>>437313
>>What do you want to do with this now?
As the gang's member, we find the boss, get him somewhere secluded and EAT HIS HEART, rawr!
Then, as the boss, we lead the gang into a war with the competition! Guns, pew pew pew! In the chaos we eat other gang leaders' hearts. Our endgame is to become the Super Gang Boss of NYC!

>>437336
Las Vegas is lame.... and too small.
>>
>>437390
Las Vegas is great for us to become rich as a shapeshifter, because we can act like one of those girls who hang on to guys who are winning big, then when we go to the bedroom, we can just absorb him, shift into him in the morning, take his winnings, and get rich that way.
>>
>>437336
>>437381
>>437390
Well it's two votes to one for Vegas. At least though you can run this gang into the ground before you leave.

So like with your friends, you tell the guy interested in you that you're not interested, and focus on the gang. Assuming the identity of the first gang member you took the heart of, you learn he's got a girlfriend and a young son by her. You make your move on the gang leader though and in private manage to kill him and take his heart.

With it comes all the relevant knowledge of the gang, the boss's identity to take on, and knowledge of some of the other criminal groups in the city. You also know about the boss's family, he's got a mother, sister and neice all close in his life. Also you have immediate access to his personal belongings like an alright gang house, a nice car, and access to his personal safe which has a decent stash of drugs and a large amount of cash, about $150 grand.

>You now control a gang, if you assume the boss's identity. There's an idea of crashing and burning the gang and taking it for what it's worth before fleeing to another city, but if you really want to do that, how do you go about it?
>>
>>437429
Invite other gang leaders for a conference to divide the territories and business areas. Kill them all during this meeting. We have the power of 5/6 people now, we stronger and faster than all of them! Merge all those gangs into one super-gang, give power to that boss' sister in command, then leave for Las Vegas with cash in hand.
>>
>>437429
Mainly by starting a fire in the warehouse where the drugs are kept, just before we set up a plan to take on the local Latino gang, The Chulos, to take over their prostitution interests. The firefight takes out a portion of the members, and the police will come down to take out the others guarding the warehouse.

As for us, take the cash, leave the drugs, see if the boss had any contacts in the Vegas underworld, and head west, young blobgirl.
>>
>>437448
>>437453
A combination of these two. We tell the gang we're considering merging with another gang. Then, ambush and eat another gang leader, and set up plans to actually merge. Blame the disappearance of the original on a rival gang, start a gang war, and skip town.
>>
>>437448
>>437453
>>437468
So your rough plan is to merge the gang you have with another gang, then start a gang war and skip town. It's a good plan and should work, though it will take a little time.

So first thing's first, you talk with your current gang and spread the idea that you're going to try to merge with another gang, one yours doesn't have bad blood with. The gang members of yours are surprised since the boss was against that in the past, but are eventually accepting of it.

After about a week of this, you plan to locate and ambush the other gang leader, and get his heart along with his identity. Then by switching between the two gang leader identities, you spread a general idea of joining together which more or less works.

Another two weeks of this, and finally you prompt a fight with the next biggest gang and manage to stage the death of both boss identities. This prompts a war between the two, with all manner of chaos and eventually police intervention.

Meanwhile you make it out with about $400 grand, deciding to give some to family members you know of the gang members you killed. So you end up down to $250 grand.

>You're standing amid a small gang war after you actions. Anything you want to do before you make your move to leave the city?

Also you gain a lot of villain points from killing the people you did, though it's offset a little by your good-natured efforts.
>>
>>437514
Nothing more, just leave for Vegas
>>
>>437514
>good-natured efforts
We can be like Robin Hood? Eating hearts and giving away money! :)

>>437525
Yes. Leave for Vegas and new fortunes.
>>
>>437514
First, update our escort's passport to let you keep using this persona. Then donate about $25 grand to an organization for victims of gang violence to make yourself feel a little better, then spend some on clothes for your new life as Arm Candy for High Rollers/High Roller, once we know how to gamble well.
>>
>>437529
Not at a rate that you'd offset the murders. Besides, you're getting close to the point where you'd choose which villainous powerset you want.

>>437525
So you leave for Vas Legas, the casino resort city in the desert out west. I'm guessing you'll want to take a bus so you don't have to go through the potential hurdles of air travel, what with identity issues and stuff.

If so it'll take a few days, interested in doing anything along the way or just keeping quietly to the bus?
>>
>>437541
The escort didn't have a passport. In fact, none of the people who's identities you've taken had passports so far.

Before you leave though you make a generous donation. It doesn't garner much hero points but at least you feel better about yourself.
>>
>>437548
Just out of curiosity, if we get the villain specialization, does that mean we're stuck with making villain choices?
>>
>>437545
Research gambling/casino life
>>
>>437557
No, but it would probably be hard to be heroic or become a hero since the villain specialties are well, pretty soundly villainous.

>>437570
Along the way you start to look into gambling and casino life online, get a little idea before you just dive straight in.
>>
>>437579
Did we buy a nice cocktail dress or two before we left town? Should probably buy some jewelry too...
>>
>>437579
>villain
We can be a Good Villain and run an orphanage!
>>
>>437589
Yeah, let's get fancy. Also, ditch the amazonian look when we get to Vegas, and make ourselves look beautiful.
>>
>>437610
We can still be an amazon, just not when we're in the bedroom or the casino floor.

As for looking beautiful, let's go with a big dumb blonde look, with curves in the right places.
>>
>>437595
Going for a Catwoman type, eh?
>>
>>437589
All of that stuff is available in Las Vesas (it's new name) so you can get it there. Which you do, you get some nice dresses for yourself and jewerly, do you want a place to live though?

>>437610
>>437629
Between the whole ordeal with becoming a blob woman, as well as full time taking on the 6'6" appearance, your self-esteem has taken a big hit. In trying to be a casino crawler you could take on a supermodel appearance, but you want to believe that you stand a chance with your true appearance.

Your choice to make, though changing your appearance to be super beautiful will make your efforts easier, however will decrease your self-esteem. However if you're trying to become a villain or at least earn the villain power specialty, a low self worth will help that.
>>
>>437917
Well, let's at least give our original face a shot. I mean, we DID just take out two gangs on our lonesome. And hell, we're richer now, anyway, and richer people are more attractive because MONEY!

And also because you don't want to cry in the shower.

A bit more cleavage might be nice, though... (goes from a C to a DD)
>>
>>437956
Wanting to feel more confident, you try to keep to your true (Sarah) form, though maybe improve your sexual characteristics a bit. Nothing wrong with knocking your T&A up a peg or two.

Along with nice clothes and accessories, you feel pretty good about yourself now, and ready to make a mark on your new city.

So what would you like to do now? For your new life, you're missing a place to live, a source of income, and an identity. You can use yours, but you'll probably want to be careful with it.
>>
>>437969
Well, we've got knowledge of the criminal underworld and shit tons of dosh. Let's see if we can get hooked up with a fake drivers license or two, some good ones.

As for a home base, lets go with something with a basement this time. I'm not sure if basements are a thing in Nevada, but if they are, we need someplace where we can experiment with being a blobgirl. First thing is to work on different faces, and different personalities for them.

Finally, for income, let's go for the management side of strip joints. If we can buy one, post some ads around town, saying "Special Stars every Saturday!", then morph our-self into a different girl each week to keep the guys coming back.
>>
>>438004
You don't have THAT much money, you can't even buy your own place, just rent or mortgage (but you want to avoid that). No basement either, though you are able to find a small bungalow with a separate garage in the suburbs. The garage you can use for experiments.

With the lack of real money you're not going to be able to get into strip club management. Though in the meantime you are able to practice with changing your face and appearance. You're quite good at it now that you can do it fairly quickly and it doesn't really hurt anymore. Coming up with new personalities for different appearances though, that has nothing to do with your abilities really, just how well you can act them out.
>>
>>438034
Well, back to stripping for now, I guess. Hope our boss gave us a letter of recommendation after we quit. Should also try looking at some acting classes, once we set ourselves up here. Eventually, though, let's go with being a Casino Crawler.

Oh yeah. How good are we at dancing, now? There's got to be a mention about how flexible we are.
>>
>>438070
>Eventually

You can start casino crawling right now if you want to, and you're not that keen on going back to stripping.

As for dancing, off a pole not that great. It's not that you don't have the potential, and you said, you can be more flexible and nimble than any human, but you've just not learned how to dance really. Like acting classes though, you can also go to dance classes.
>>
>>438094
Hunt some baddies to practice our witchy powers
>>
>>438094
Practice a few days on dancing like people do in places that don't require pasties. It'll go better for when you're in nightclubs and such.

As for experiments, try to see if you can shed most of your mass to make a tiny version of yourself (about Barbie doll sized), then read about how single celled creatures move their bodies for when you go into blob mode. After that, time to see what materials you can or can't absorb, and finally, shifting into fat girl mode, for when we inevitably do a heist in a casino, and we need an internal storage space for hiding the loot.
>>
>>438143
In your free time you practice dancing like a normal person, as well as your abilities. The chancing size part is hard but manageable, you get down to about the size of a child and figure with more practice you could go lower. You have better success as a blob though, and manage to get around pretty well as an amoeba might, with the added benefit of being able to lash out tendrils to grab onto stuff and pull yourself. There's also an effort to see what you are able to absorb and it looks like you're limited to organic material, though by eating anything with nutritional value you are able to slowly build mass as a normal person might, the key difference being there's no limit to how much you can build and you can choose what kind of mass it is. Plus you can eat things that would make a normal person sick or even kill them.

Fat mode you already have some experience with, so you're good there.

>>438138
You try going after some bad types trying to focus more on your blood powers rather than biomass powers. You're able to follow and hunt people by detecting their blood, and you are even able to harm them at a distance with the blood in their own bodies. You even get into a fight once when against expectation you yourself get mugged, and you find you can physically shape your own blood to suit your needs, in this case a weapon.

>Ability learned, Blood shape - If it is present/flowing, you can alter your blood to take on different shapes or forms.

Going to assume you take their hearts as well.
>>
>>438173
Go into the nearest trump casino and find the man
>>
>>438173
Probably a good idea, yeah.

Anyway, time to go out on the town! Focus on high rollers during the later evening, attractive gentlemen in their late twenties, early thirties. Once they get you up to their room, enjoy the time with them, then, in the early hours of the morning, steal their clothes and shift into their appearance, then go up to the guys who cash you out and get their winnings from the previous evenings.
>>
>>438199
>>438173
AND DON'T FORGET PROTECTION! Don't want any blob babies to be sprouting up yet.

>>438206
This. Can we use our powers to prevent pregnancy?
>>
>>438186
Ronald Crump isn't there right now, he's busy flying around campaigning for the presidency.

>>438199
You turn your efforts now to trying to find some arms to hang on. Actual high rollers you can't really get the knack of since they tend to have groups of people with them and girls already, but you do have luck with a younger guy on his own who's just looking to make money it seems. Making your move, you get friendly with him and learning what his scheme is (college guy, takes a trip to Vesas with some friends every few months to make bank) even manage to help him with some wiles and distractive looks. Together you pull quite a few winnings and share a nice rest of the evening together before going back to his room to spend the night. He actually cashed out before leaving the casino floor though so you actually don't even need to steal his appearance anyway, just the money and sneak out.

Surprisingly your effort worked out really well, and you collect over ten grand in winnings. You didn't even need to kill him to take his appearance.

>>438206
You're not sure if given your new biology, contraceptives are going to work (at least chemical or hormonal ones) but you go as far to take the proper precautions anyway.

>>438300
It seems reasonable that you could do that, but it's also something you can't really experiment with on your own. To test out something like that, and any... other abilitites that could come from intimate relations, you'd need regular access to a guy (or girl, if you change into a guy) to experiment with and try to learn abilities from.
>>
>>438339
Rent a proper suite with our money
>>
>>438339
>Surprisingly your effort worked out really well, and you collect over ten grand in winnings. You didn't even need to kill him to take his appearance.

Good job, Sarah! You feeling better about yourself, now?

Anyway, lay low for a week or two before spending what you got. After that, you're going to need to change your appearance a bit, nothing much, just a few inches of height and alter your shape a bit. Maybe more of an athlete build?

Anyway, work on controlling your mass on a leash again, shove animals into your mass, and try seam-stressing in case you want to head back into super heroics.

and maybe try seeing what being a guy is like, in that way...
>>
>>438394
Yeah, this.
>>
>>438394
>>438408
Regarding the spoiler...

OH SHIT, DEFINITELY, ABSOLUTELY WEAR PROTECTION THIS TIME, WEAR IT WEAR IT WEAR IT
>>
>>438357
After a week you get yourself a top room in one of the resorts for a few days to treat yourself. Though it lacks room to experiment like your garage. If your plan is to leech off gamblers though you're in the right place.

>>438394
Well you did kind of prostitute yourself in a sense, but you do feel pretty good all things considered, that you didn't have to even use your powers for anything.

Anyway after the little vacation of sorts in one of the resorts, you alter your appearance again, more suited for fitness. Back home you also try experimenting, with trying to control mass via connection. You're getting better at it, but your ability to absorb things at a distance isn't as good as with your core body. It seems the farther things are removed from your center of mass, the harder it is to exercise your powers over them.

On a more mundane note you try your hand at making clothes and costumes again, though admittedly you're not that good. It does occur to you though that a great deal of conventions happen here in Vesas, maybe you could find someone(s) who are into cosplaying and pay or convince them to make you an outfit?

And after everything else you try turning into a guy. It's a weird experience and you're not really sure you've got the hang of it, it's like you're just going off your knowledge of what a guy's body is like and trying to imitate that. You could actually properly take on a male form with your blood powers, but with your biomass powers it's imitation at best.

Still, as far as you're concerned, you've managed to take on a male body more or less. What do you want to do with it now?
>>
>>438459
Buy a dildo, to make sure we haven't made any mistakes in modeling our lower regions. Also, make sure we're functioning down there, in case we sleep with a girl.
>>
>>438459
Well, prostitution is legal here, so...

And again, >>438438 DO IT NOW, I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE ALONE IN THE ROOM, DO IT

Ahem. Anyway.

Hire someone experienced in costume-making to design your super suit. Something sexy, but covering the vitals enough to take a hit or two. Leave the emblem out for right now.

After that, MORE BLOBSPERIMENTING! See how small of an opening you can pass yourself through, like a colander, PVC piping, wire fencing, that kind of stuff.

Also, send an email out to your stripper friends, saying you miss them, and someday you know you'll see them again.
>>
>>438489
Well a silicon representation of manparts is one thing you can imitate, but an actually functioning member is another story. You have no idea how you'd know or understand how to create that in yourself.

>>438494
Do what now exactly? What are you hoping to gain from a prostitute, other than a good time? More specifically an attempt at a good time with your best guess at a dick.

Otherwise you seek out people who might be able to make you a suit. You find a girl who makes money off of that kind of work for conventions and cosplay fans. The question is, how much do you want to be honest with her? You imagine there'd be a risk if she makes your outfit, and then sees or hears about it on the news as what a crime fighter is wearing. While this is going on you try more experimenting. It takes a lot of work and a LOT of getting used to, but you manage to be able to fit down as small an opening as a shower drain. The smaller the opening though or the tighter the space, and the more mass you're trying to fit through, the longer it will take.

Last of all you email your old friends to try and maintain contact.
>>
>>438545
Tell her you're thinking about becoming a social hero, one of those guys who walk around neighborhoods and talk about local issues, that sort of thing. If she's local, it might be a problem, so try to talk to her in your 6'6" hero form so she'll have a harder time connecting that form with the actual you.

Also MORE EXPERIMENTING! See if you can shape yourself into a large bird of some sort. If you need an animal to eat, try a vulture or a condor.
>>
>>438582
You contact her indirectly when you usually can, and give your measurments as you can, but whenever actually meeting her you do so in your larger form. You say it's for a friend as a surprise.

You try to change to be like a bird, but to little success. In trying though you do come to realize that you already know what it's like to be a horse and find it possible to attempt to imitate that. You realize you could probably do the same if you absorbed enough of a type of bird biomass, however you know from experience that it would cause your genes to go awry and you'd need to absorb some humans to offset that.
>>
>>438545
Meet with the girl, and tell her a really tall friend asked you to help her get a costume, for some social thing. Also, do what
>>438582
said, but make sure to be careful about turning into an animal again
>>
>>438615
Well, it's been long enough, let's go out for smoozing with the wealthy and lucky. Let's go for something more hourglass shaped and tanned, with a nice slim black cocktail dress and some jewelry for class.

Again, look for some high roller, moderately attractive upper twenties early thirties gentleman, preferably with a loop of white skin around his ring finger. Might as well teach an adulterer not to break his marriage vows.

After all that, let's see about gambling money directly at the tables.
>>
>>438637
Hey, I just realized.

If we do this, we've literally have this guy's genetic material in us.

Can we use that stuff to alter our form into his form without killing the guy? We've got enough mass to do it without gaining his too.
>>
>>438617
Well it's the other way around, you're getting the costume for your true form.

>>438637
You go casino crawling again, and manage to land an older fellow in his 30s who doesn't reject the kind of attention you shower on him. He's more foreward than the previous guy though, and more to the point so to speak. You spend the night together but this time around he's up as early as you are, so you haven't really gotten the chance to make off with the winnings.

Anything you want to do, or just wait and hope you get the chance?

Speaking of gambling yourself, you don't really have the skills you think, without learning them the old fashioned way, or eating a heart or two.

>>438679
You suppose it's a possibility, though again, just as you might practice other abilities, learning an ability like this would similarly take regular practice. At least more than the occasional one night stand every few weeks can provide.

From what you know of your abilities though, you get the sense that the genetic material so to speak, gotten from a guy this way is not enough just the once. If you got enough of it regularly though, your understanding of your powers leads you to believe you could work with it.
>>
>>438727
For now, just head out. It's a bit of a letdown, but ask him if he's going to come back, and if he's got a burner email (if he doesn't bite, don't risk the chance that his wife might come after you), so you can play the long con and get him at a later date.

Anyway, just practice your acting skills, and see how fast you can absorb three dead pig carcasses in your garage, as well as whether or not you can get drunk now or be affected by roofies.

Oh, yeah, make some new friends in the clubbing scene, and keep up with the old ones back on the east coast.
>>
>>438727
Let's just keep doing what we're doing, and build funds. Try to get one guy in specific
>>
>>438771
He seems interested at least, though you do feel a little used (he walks in on you in the shower and politely forces you to go through with another round with him, so to speak) and there's an exchange of contact info as he says next time he'll make it something special for you.

You continue with acting classes and on the side you try to practice more with your abilities. You can't absorb dead biomass, only eat it like normal, so I'll assume you mean living pigs. You are able to buy three large hogs and try to practice as fast as you can. With unclothed, full body contact you are able to assimilate a full pig in about four hours, which is pretty good you figure for an animal you are unfamiliar with. By the time you reach the third pig, having become familiar with pig biomass, you are able to absorb it in about an hour, though it's kind of a rush job and not totally perfect.

Still, in about seven hours you ended up absorbing over 600 pounds of biomass, which is a major improvement and you know if you were to get more pigs your rate would only get better. Now though what to do with all the biomass? Since you were trying to get better with your basic body form, you shed the extra mass after the first two pigs. Now though you've got all of it to your body and you weigh over 700 pounds, and are a lot bigger and taller to accomodate.

You also try to get some new friends in the area, while keeping up with your friends back East.

>>438779
How often do you want to try casino fishing like this? So far it's been something you do about once a month but how often you want to is up to you.

As for one guy in specific, how do you mean? So far your goal has been to steal from these men, so you wouldn't be able to go for the same guy twice. You could find one guy to depend on, but him treating you won't get as much money as you would stealing from him.

Unless of course you meant something else altogether.
>>
>>438771
Oh right and as you are now, you can still get drunk and effected by drugs. You could probably try to build up a resistance to them, and for now you feel your resist them better than you did before you gained powers, but as is you're definitely not immune to their effects.

You actually realize the risk that could entail, if some guy unluckily roofies you and tries to get frisky, you wonder if your body might just absorb him naturally or in defense.
>>
>>438830
>Now though what to do with all the biomass?

Dig out a ditch large enough to bury what you can't fit in your freezer using your powers, then use your fat girl form and buy a large freezer for you to store excess mass in.

>How often do you want to try casino fishing like this?
Once every two weeks. Also, start practicing waking up super early by putting your cell phone inside of you and putting it on vibrate.
>>
>>438856
Any reason for burying it, or are you just looking to get rid of it? Being separated that long it will just die. Either way you do look into large freezers, and on short notice get one large enough to house the excess mass you didn't bury or otherwise lose.

For your money making scheme you try to make it a bi-monthly thing. The next guy you land, like you said, is probably married and fooling around. By storing your phone inside you though, you're able to wake up early for sure, and make off with his winnings. Another several thousand dollars gained.

On the matter of your personal life, you have made a friend or two since being here, and a local guy has shown interest in you.
>>
>>438876
Keep doing it biweekly. Stay with what we have until something changes or we start having loads of money lying around. Drop the local guy.
>>
>>438876
I kind of thought we couldn't keep it around long enough without turning into pig-girl, so I figured it'd probably be a good idea to get rid of some of it before it could happen. Speaking of, better soundproof the garage, so that there's no sounds getting out as you absorb more mass.

>On the matter of your personal life, you have made a friend or two since being here, and a local guy has shown interest in you.

Hang out with the friends for a bit, but make sure that the local knows that if you're going to have a relationship, it's going to be a casual one, and that you're seeing other men while you're doing so.

Also, take a look at Jeff's old Facebook page and reminisce about all the fun you had, and how you miss him, as you try to absorb a hundred pounds of chickens in your garage.
>>
>>438894
Well the pig girl thing is going to happen regardless of what you do to the extra mass, the fact is that like the horse, you absorbed many hundreds of pounds of pig meat into your body, and a large portion of pig DNA into your genes.

To that end, maybe because of how quickly you tried to do it, but like with the horse only sooner this time, you start to display pig traits. Difficulty remaining bipedal, changing bone structure and skin, altered face and features. Just as before it's quite distressing.

Will answer to the other parts depending on how you choose to deal with this occurance.
>>
>>438914
Jump some guy. Eat him. If that doesn't fix it, do it again. Also, check up on the news in our previous towns.
>>
>>438914
Well, time to find some victims...

Let's go for some skeezy perverts on Craigslist, the kind of dudes who have blue dots over their houses on a database of sex offenders. Also, stock up on roofies. Just because they're perverts, doesn't mean the screams aren't unsettling.

After all that, hang out with your friends, and tell the guy off.
>>
>>438927
>>438918
Like with the horse, you spend some time targeting guys via Carlslist, kink sites, and the occasional random dude, in order to dilute the pig genes. Eventually the expression of those genes stops, but you've got another few hundred pounds of biomass. You get two more large freezers, but still end up having to lose some.

As for news from other towns, only how you and your boss's boyfriend are missing still with ongoing investigations. As for YNC, about how the gang war went and the eventual implosion of both gangs.

>>438927
Don't have to worry about their screams if you fuse your mouth to theirs and continue from there.

When you start to feel more normally human again, you take the time to spend it with your friends, and end up turning the guy down. He didn't like the idea that a relationship with you would mean sharing with other guys.
>>
>>438894
Still want to go through with the chickens after the pig situation? It'll mean just having to go after more guys to offset the chicken genes.

Speaking of the pig situation, the guys it took to offset it put you near the threshold of having to choose your villain powerset. Another string of victims like that, and you'd be there.
>>
>>438960
Anyway, absorb the chickens one at a time. Don't want to start showing chicken traits. Also, see if heating it up in a microwave can help with the sluggishness, or try to gain resistance to the cold. Also, use the leftover roofies to eventually gain a resistance to them, for your safety and others.

After all that, see about doing some good deeds around the city, like stopping date rape and stuff like that. Some good in our life to balance out the bad.

And finally, find another mark. This time, try to go for a bimbo-ish look, and use those acting skills to go with it.
>>
>>438994
Actually, hold off on the heroic stuff first, and see if we can eat some drug dealers for the villain powerset.
>>
>>438994
You go along with chickens, but do it at a slow and manageable pace so that you don't turn half-animal again. As for the frozen mass, you try heating it up beforehand but that just kills it before it reaches a point where you can comfortable assimilate it, and trying to build a cold resistence seems to work with your core body but not in the way of absorbing cold biomass. The more you try the more you realize that cold temperatures may be the natural weakness to your powers, at least the biomass based ones. Building up an immunity to roofies works though you find, after some weird days spent in the garage without remembering anything. However this brings you to the worrisome realization that maybe your body has built up an immunity to contraceptives. You're not sure how you can find that out though, apart from the most obvious method.

>>439001
Feeling your powers having grown so much, you have the desire to push them to see how far you can go. So over the next couple of weeks go hunting for victims to assimilate, and eventually you feel you've reached a new level of power. Your villain point buildup has reached the amouont where your powers become defined, so you have to choose.

>Bruja or Chimera; gaining power from hearts and affecting others, or gaining power from biomass and affecting yourself
>>
>>439017
Chimera. I do like the gaining mass traits, and if we decide to become a kaiju, Chimera's the way to go.
>>
>>439020
Since it's a pretty permanent choice to make, I'll give it some time if other people want differently.
>>
>>439017
I feel like Bruja powers would work better in our current situation, changing appearances to pose as high rollers, but the Chimera powers are certainly more interesting and removing the blob from our blobgirl would break this poor anon's heart. I haven't quite decided yet, but if we picked Chimera, would we be stuck in original Sarah form?
>>
>>439042
Bruja would be the one stuck in Sarah form, unless you take a heart and steal an identity. I guess that's not really stuck, but you wouldn't be able to shapeshift your body at will, it would be more like rupturing someones lungs, or controlling them like a voodoo doll, or even traveling long distance to someone with the same blood type by materializing inside of them, basically teleporting.

The Chimera form is the one that would be constantly changing as you take on biomass and new genes. Though that's mostly the extent of the powers, abilities which alter your own form.

Basically the first would be better suited to a super villain, where as the second would be better suited to a monster villain.
>>
>>439042
I'm kind of confused, are you saying that we might not be able to change form, or that we could be stuck in a blob form or what?
>>
>>439017
With that explanation here >>439060, I'm honestly more interested in Chimera. It's more fun for me.

Let's become BlobGirl.
>>
>>439060
I realized I didn't really answer the question.

Basically as a Bruja, Sarah would be able to control hers and other people's blood. Her body wouldn't change though, she'd always be Sarah, except for those infrequent times when she'd be masquerading as someone else's identity, but at the end of the day she'd still return to Sarah.

As a Chimera, Sarah's body would constantly change, and overtime drift farther and farther away from the identity of "Sarah" as she takes in more and more foreign biomass and genetic material/info. She'd become more of a blob entity, or The Thing, a shifting changing biomass entity "Sarah", rather than actual Sarah with super powers, which is what Bruja would be.
>>
>>439060
Earlier we were only able to slightly alter features or completely deform with the Chimera power set, have we mastered it to the point we can change into anything we want? I was under the impression most of our major changes, going between Sarah and Giantess for example, were done with the Bruja powers?
>>
>>439077
If you became a Chimera, you'd be able to change into anything you are familiar with. So like you absorbed a horse, you have horse genes in you. With the right biomass you could turn into a horse, and from there you could practice things like becoming a smaller or larger horse, or a muscular or thin horse. The ultimate expression would be mixing forms together, so like a half-human half-horse, if that's what you wanted.

The amazon form was the result of the Chimera abilities, you absorbed the escort, and became a combination of the both of you. You've always been human so are familiar with the form and can change to different human forms, in the case of the amazon a larger and stronger human.

The Bruja powers were the ones that let you perfectly steal someone's identity by taking their heart, or gaining all their memories. It also technically doesn't have an upper limit to how strong you can be. The Chimera is restrained by how much biomass it can hold and compress. The Bruja though simply has the supernatural strength and power of each heart it consumes.

So like a Chimera could absorb 100 people, but would have to be a huge mass of people flesh. The Bruja could eat 100 hearts and have the strength of that many people, but still in Sarah's body.
>>
>>439095
Thanks for clarifying, sorry blobanon, I gotta vote Bruja.

Something I had thought about before, wouldn't a costume be useless if you were constantly changing sizes with Chimera powers?
>>
>>439124
Well it really depends how you're using the powers, right? If you're remaining roughly around the same size dimensions of say, humanoid, then within a certain size range you could probably get a loose fitting or stretchy costume. If you're wanting to go gigantic flesh monster horror though, then yeah a costume wouldn't be useful.

Also as always, the amount of skin in contact with the victim determines how quickly they are absorbed. So if you were going for pure efficiency, you probably wouldn't wear clothes at all, corrected for propriety you'd be running around in just your underwear.
>>
>>439134
Voting for bruja I like being a blood witch better
>>
>>439274
So that looks like 2 for Bruja and 2 for Chimera.

Will need some more votes or a tiebreaker I guess.
>>
Bruja.
>>
>>439300
Chimera.
>>
>>439472
Now it's 3 and 3!

Also I think the bump limit was hit.
>>
Chimera.

Make Blobgirl great again!
>>
Going with the Kaiju option, guys. Chimera.
>>
Looks like Chimera has pulled ahead in the lead.

Either way I'll give it till when play resumes next to count the final tally.
>>
>>439529
In that case, send one last email to all of our friends, telling them that they were the best people we knew in trying times. Then rent out the penthouse at the Bellagio for one final scam, and absorb that asshole who woke up earlier then us, before moving on to the hotel guests by slipping under doors and through windows.
>>
>>439017
>Chimera
We should take control of the country with our Monster powers! We're the Nightmare made flesh. People obey us or perish!
>>
SO it looks like Chimera wins. You do lose your blood powers that means, but your blob powers reach their potential.

What are you wanting to do now then?

>Resuming play for now, under the assumption that I have time to run it.
>>
>>440120
Take over the casinos, we're in command now, anyone who doesn't like that will be eating whole by Blobgirl!
>>
>>440137
Well that's a good plan, but what do you do right now?
>>
>>440155
Head back home, contact the guy who woke up before we did, go with him on a fancy date, rent out the penthouse of the Bellagio, absorb him wile boning his brain out, then absorb all of the other hotel guests by sneaking under doorcracks and windows. After all that, eat most of the crime operated casino mobs, then after we tower over everything else, state our demands: All casinos, strip joints, and escort services in Vesas belong to us, and we'll keep them profitable and running so long as we get about %50 of the profit, plus all the living cows and chickens we can eat, plus a new house built in the center of the strip, clothes sized for us, and a gigantic stripper stage for us, so the city can recoup damages by advertising the world's biggest stripper.
>>
>>440178
>state our demands
Free Vesas, independant country.
stripper stuff is nonsense, we're the Master of all humans now!
>>
>>440178
I can go with this.
>>
>>440178
Well this is going to get complicated.

First thing first though, you get in contact with the older guy who you weren't able to scam. He says he'd like to see you again, so you meet up and he treats you to a nice evening together, before going back to a room of his choosing. It's not the Dellagio but it's still quite nice and one of the more upscale resorts on the strip.

Same as before though, he lets his dominant side play out in private, and leads you through a rough session of intimacy. While laying in his arms after though, you fuse to him and prevent him from making too much noise, before absorbing his body into yours.

After that, you start the hunt for other guests to follow in his fate. You try to play it carefully and go into rooms which you check that people are asleep in. You manage to clear out about 30 rooms this way though before you're just a huge fleshy mass surging through the hallway and panic starts to spread as it's known that there's something going on in the hotel and the fire alarms are pulled. In the resulting panic though you are able to clear out pretty much the rest of your floor as people are going for the elevators. In the same way you also manage about half of the floor above, before there isn't really anyone left.

All in all you managed to absorb about 150 people, and weigh roughly 27,000 pounds in total of your formless fleshy writhing mass.

In taking the chance to look out, you see gathering police force down below outside. You're not sure what their response will be, but how do you want to proceed?
>>
>>440231
Well, let's move on to the next nearest casino, and absorb the crowds on the game floor, then keep moving to the next one, and the next one, and so on and so forth. Keep moving on from each hotel and casino, then, when we're finally around a thousand feet tall, take the form of a 10/10 hottie, before making your demands.
>>
>>440231
We continue to consume them all! This world is ours, noone can stop us! We shapechange into a nightmarish monster and hunt the humans.
>>
>>440241
Someone will probably need to do the math on how many people you'd need to absorb to reach those dimensions.

Anyway you surge your way down the stairwell and out of the casino. There's initial panic at seeing you, but it is quickly followed by gunfire. It hurts you but not terribly so, and you don't have to worry about bleeding out or anything. You move along for the next casino over, crossing Las Vesas Blvd. in what looks like some monster movie. Blobbing your way into the main entrance, you try to get who you can on the main floor and of the casino, before heading for a stairwell again and surging through the halls to get any unlucky people who didn't get out fast enough.

Panic moved ahead of you, but you're getting better at this, so you managed to hit two floors again plus anyone on the main floor. That's about another 200 people, so roughly 63,000 pounds of blob mass. You feel like you're starting to get ahead of yourself though since you're trying to go as fast as you can, so you're not giving your victims the full amount of time to assimilate. Indeed, more than a few are trapped within your mass, writhing or only just dead but not incorporated. You can keep going but it will get harder to maintain your consistency, or you can take the chance to properly assimilate all the biomass, and then reform into some new form that isn't just a blob.
>>
>>440260
Yeah, probably better to try to assimilate the biomass first before continuing! Can we do that while the police hunts us down?
>>
>>440260
Properly assimilate it. You've always liked how The 50 Foot Woman poster looked so confidant, and you figure if you're going for massive, you might as well look good doing it.
>>
>>440266
Sure, you can just sit in the current resort and let all that mass fully assimilate. Overtime the police keep sending in officers, some shooting takes place which doesn't really have an effect on you, you lash out with a tendril to grab one or two, and the rest flee. Repeat several times till things go quiet.
>>
>>440272
Just a heads up that taking on a giant woman form is going to be very hard with the amount of mass you have, without having had practice, and it isn't a form well suited for absorbing more mass.

Unless you want that form just to be able to stomp around and smash stuff.
>>
>>440278
How about, top half is attractive woman, bottom half is blob?
>>
>>440278
I would prefer a form with many legs then, to support our mass, plus lots of tentacles to catch victims with!
>>
>>440273
>things go quiet
They calling the military! ...when they evacuate to bomb the city, we'll have to find some bunker to hide in.
>>
>>440281
You could do that, but then you wouldn't be able to fit inside buildings. Your blob form is not ideal, but it does allow you to contort and fit into buildings. Part of the reason you were able to get so many people was because in the hotel corridors, you can get surface traction on every surface (floor, walls, ceiling) so you could surge through the hallways actually very fast.

>>440283
So something like Serleena from MIB2? A center blobby mass, surrounded and supported/suspended by a writhing sea of tendrils.

I never thought I'd be referencing MIB2.

>>440289
You're not sure of any bunkers in the city, maybe only underground storage in some of the bigger casinos.
>>
>>440298
All right, how about that MIB2 thing you've mentioned, but with a normal sized top half of a woman on top of it all?
>>
>>440310
Well at this rate you could be a full-body normal sized woman sitting suspended so to speak amid a throne of tendrils, all coming out of your back. You've certainly got time to practice that.

Only question is, clothes or no clothes?
>>
>>440318
Barely clothed.
>>
>>440322
Barely clothed, so in your underwear. Or rather, some underwear you find, since your underwear is back in the guy's room in the other hotel.

And it's not unreasonable, the more skin exposed, the more room more tendrils have to extend from your body, rather than just your back.

So after some practicing, you manage to take on a new form, human woman amid a mass (like 32 tons worth) of writhing fleshy tendrils.

What do you want to do now?
>>
>>440346
Hunt for more biomass. Also, protect our body, by enhancing it and giving it bone armor.
>>
>>440352
As in the human body, not the mass
>>
>>440346
More biomass, more meat in general. Aim for about 50,000 people right now.
>>
>>440346
Absorb the city's population! Muahaha! Monster Villain!

>>440318
>woman sitting suspended so to speak amid a throne of tendrils
Sounds cool!
>>
>>440346
Oh yeah, see if we can attempt to absorb plant matter now.

Every little bit helps!
>>
>>440352
Well the human body is just an appearance thing, as blobby as you are you don't have vital spots or internal organs. So even if the human part got shot in the head, nothing would happen. You don't need to armor it any less than any other part of your body.

>>440365
Unless you manage to extend yourself over an entire stadium, I don't think you're ever going to be able to get that many people on your own.

Something else to consider as well, the more mass you obtain, the more nutrition it will need to sustain. If you become as big as a stadium, you're going to need a lot of food every day.

>>440378
Anyway yeah you continue to hunt for more biomass, leaving this casino and making for the next one. When you leave you're hit with a much heavier assault, as SWAT teams are out in full force now. Expectedly your human woman portion is riddled with bullets but to no ill effect to you. Perhaps even for the better since it's such a small part of you but draws so much fire.

Either way you crawl over to the next casino and repeat more of the same. Rather than trying to blob-flood your way through the place though you mostly rely on the tendril mass, which ends up being much more efficient in open spaces.

More of the same, you manage to snag another 300 people in about an hour. You get the feeling that people are taking the evacuation effort more seriously now than before, which is why you encountered less people. Still, you're getting quite huge, while sitting in the third resort and letting all that fresh new mass absorb.

SWAT teams continue to assault the building, and you continue to drive them off. You do suffer a bit from grenades though, but not more than you regain by snagging SWAT members.

So that's three resorts roughly cleared, but you doubt you're going to have much better success moving on.
>>
>>440382
You try with plant matter but it doesn't seem to take. However you are able to consume it for nutrition, even when you normally wouldn't be able to eat it.

---

Rough calcuations btw, your mass is roughly 120,000 pounds of mostly human meat. So 60 tons. You're having trouble now moving around as an amorphous mass, you might need to either develop proper large tentacles, or change to a new form which has bone support. Chitin could be a possibility but you haven't had any experience with absorbing bugs, or familiarity with their biology.
>>
>>440444
Yes, we need bones and proper legs and giant tentacles!
>>
>>440444
Try changing into a flesh chariot drawn by murder-horses. We're going full metal here
>>
>>440432
Yeah, time to make our demands. Reform into a giant playboy centerfold in the casino, then crash through the roof as you emerge. Tell them to cease fire or you're going to bring the city to the ground, one casino at a time.

>60 tons
:) stomp stomp
>>
>>440454
>cease fire
not going to happen because we fought them for hours now.
>or you're going to bring the city to the ground
already doing that :)
>>
>>440450
Having experience with horse genes you could form a number of flesh horses to pull the mass, but an actual chariot with wheels isn't really going to be possible.

>>440454
You figure to try to go full on giantess, some minor embarassment over having no clothes. As you smash through the roof though, you're quite quickly hit by a missile from an unknown source. It hurts a ton, and the fiery explosion does a significant amount of damage to you.

>>440456
Thus for now you decide to return to something more like this, your woman suspended by huge tentacle mass, at least for the time being.

In trying to make contact with the people outside though you're faced by the national guard and a number of tank and rocket shells. With the relative protection of the building though, you're able to have a back and forth fight with them where you draw their fire for a bit, then lash out with a giant tentacle and grab or smash a bunch of them.

Eventually things move to a sort of ceasefire, as it looks like they aren't willing to bring the building down on your head. You hear them trying to communicate with you via bullhorns, and ask if you're sentient and willing to negociate.
>>
>>440479
Might as well respond with something other than eating people, so long as they don't fire another missile at our head.

Anyway shift to giantess form, then state our demands down below, give or take.

All casinos, strip joints, and escort services in Vesas belong to us, and we'll keep them profitable and running so long as we get about %50 of the profit, plus all the food and animal matter we can eat, plus a new house built in the center of the strip and clothes sized for us.
>>
>>440479
>ask if you're sentient and willing to negotiate
"Greetings humans! I didn't know you were sentient beings! I'm alien to this planet and come in peace!"
>>
>>440494
>profit
We're going to become Earth's Overlord, what use have we for money?

>>440479
>missile
Hm, we need more armor!
>>
>>440503
We're going to become Earth's Overlord, what use have we for money?

It's for eventually running for President, as well as buying enough food to keep us fed.
>>
>>440494
Let's talk to them. See what they have to say before we do anything. Don't shift into giantess though.
>>
>>440479
"Take me to your leader! I want to negotiate peace!"

>>440509
>running for President
President Tentacles :), like that.
>>
So you make an effort to let them know you're open to negotiation, and a little while later a couple fellows in suits along with a few military guys approach. The meeting is taking place with most of your mass on a second floor overlooking the ground one, with your human body extension sitting on the edge more or less.

When the approach and make contact, they refer to you by name (your human extension is just your basic Sarah body) so seem to recognize you. They talk for a bit to try and see how sentient you are, but you answer and respond them completely normally so they move on to actual negociations.

They try to hold a lot over you, saying you're a US citizen and have obligations and such, and they are sympathetic that this terrible turn of events has happened to change your body in such a horrible way. What they want though is to move you to a secluded facility, away from everything. They're willing to fulfill whatever basic biological functions you need, while they want to study you and try to help you with your condition, maybe even a cure to it.

All the while they make clear that if need be they will use heavy ordinance with deadly intent. They don't want to bring down the building on you, but to save people and keep knowledge of this matter suppressed, they will.

You make clear what you wanted here >>440494 but they say they simply can't allow you to be so public, and can't risk people so openly knowing about you. They do say though if you want money and food/sustenance they can provide that elsewhere.
>>
>>440541
See what they think of letting us go. Also, pretend that we're somebody pretending to be Sarah.
>>
>>440541
Tell them that you want to be in public view. The whole skeezy "Black Ops" stuff is something that you are familiar with in movies. You'd agree that curing your condition might be nice, but that you'd rather stay near Vesas, as it's a bit like home now. If you can stay public and near the city, you can let go of the money demand, and would be willing to work as a tourist attraction. If they still don't go for it, snag a reporter and drag her in for a one-on-one interview.
>>
>>440541
"I'm immortal, you can't kill me."
>study
We'll never get out of a lab alive again...

Better to continue killing them all.
>>
>>440569
>willing to work as a tourist attraction
...that eats the tourists? Hm...
>>440551
>pretend that we're somebody pretending to be
Wut?

>>440541
Can we hold the negotiators hostage? Or are they expendable people?
>>
>>440589
As in, pretend we're the boss from the beginning, disguised as Sarah.
>>
>>440589
>...that eats the tourists? Hm...
Nah, that'll hurt our chances for when we inevitably run for governor of Nevada. The cows and chickens should be enough for us, provided we eat them slow and don't just gobble them down like a fat kid with a jumbo sized M&M's bag.
>>
Oh yeah, tell the negotiators to hold on a minute, then whip out your cell phone, and see what exactly Ronald Crump's been saying on Twitter about the stuff in Vesas.
>>
>>440612
>like a fat kid with a jumbo sized M&M's bag
"Om nom nom nom, tasty tourists, more of those, please!"
>pretend we're the boss
B-But what difference would that make? What would be the goal here?
>>
>>440628
>Ronald Crump
He only tweets about stuff he watched on tv though, so since we aren't on tv, we're not on his radar.
>>
>>440629
The pretending would, hopefully, get them to reveal a little more of what they know about us. They're going to be a lot harder to deal with if they know about New York, and what we did there.
>>
>>440551
They aren't interested in letting you go, you killed a ton of people. Also if you're debuting as a supervillain, you've comitted to being one so you're not keen on lying about your identity.

On that matter though, interestingly, they say they've taken your family and close friends into custody.

>>440569
They say the problem with you going public is how many people you killed. As it is, they can try and spin the situation that there was some kind of explosion, terrorist attack, or whatever. But if people find out about you, then it's going to be impossible for you not to be seen as a villain. If you come with them at least, and give it some time, then they can let you be known if that's what you want, after the whole situation in Vesas has defused.

>>440580
You tell them you're immortal, they tell you they're interested to see how immortal, and they'll start with bringing the building down and incinerating the ruins. You know that you're tough to kill, nearly unkillable, but you get the feeling that being crushed and then burned alive, would do the job.

>>440589
You can hold them hostage if you like. No one is really expendable, if you're holding these guys hostage, no one is going to say "Just kill them, they're expendable."

Unless of course you make some impossible demands or something, then they'd just delete the hostages from record probably.

>>440628
Nothing yet, it's only been a few hours since you first went on a feeding frenzy. It looks like most social media is abuzz with it, but the general trend seems to be chalking the whole situation up to a domestic terrorist action done by angry white christian men.

You do have a devious idea, if only for a second, to take a selfie of your nightmarish form and tweet it. You decide against that though.

>>440633
They don't seem aware of Yew Nork. As far as they're concerned, something happened where you lived, and you went missing, only to resurface here in Vesas as some flesh monster.
>>
Hey, thought you were dead, welcome back!

>>441005
>If you come with them at least, and give it some time, then they can let you be known if that's what you want, after the whole situation in Vesas has defused.

That's fair enough, but if we're going to be under the governments eye, then at the very least have them spin it so that the news says that our powers and subsequent "pain fueled rampage" came from radiation, or cosmic rays, or hell, swamp gas. Oh, and that you request a pension if they experiment on you.

Also, tell them that you'd at least appreciate it if you were the one who could tell your parents and friends about what happened. Coming out of the closet about being a blobgirl is really tough, OK, and if they keep them in custody for any longer, Crump's Dump might be the next one hit. It's not much, sir. We'll come in quietly, so long as those demands are met.
>>
>>441078
Yeah this. I feel like this is a fight we won't win. Also, claim we have little to no control over what happened, so that we have a better chance of not just getting killed by them
>>
>>441078
Sorry, I figured I'd need to update the demands list.

Let friends and family go.
Allow us to explain to them what happened.
Be kept in government custody for six months and no longer.
Receive pension from government.
Be allowed to return and live in Vesas.
Have an all you can eat meal ticket for both living animal biomass and actual food.
A job working as a living tourist attraction in Vesas.
Custom clothes for giantess mode.
Help with working on a cure.
>>
>>441078
If they had their way, this whole event wouldn't be linked to you at all. Just some terrorist attack or something.

As for your friends and family, they haven't told them anything, they just took them in for safety reasons. Also they (government) has no idea how your powers came to be, so they're wondering if your relatives for example, also have abilities they don't know of, or Jeff under their assumption that you were in a serious relationship.

>>441090
That's a pretty good idea, you can try to feign being just a scared, confused 21 year old, not in your right mind after your abilities manifested and lashing out at any and everything.
>>
>>441105
>If they had their way, this whole event wouldn't be linked to you at all. Just some terrorist attack or something.

While that might work, I have to ask that if we do return here as a 60 ton woman, are people going to connect the dots? "Hey, that huge woman who works as a local attraction JUST MIGHT be connected with wrecking three casinos and eating 650 people!"

Also, yeah, agreeing with scared 21 year old girl plan.
>>
>>441103
If you're trying to look as innocent as possible, you make requests rather than demands.

>Your family and friends are free to go, but if you want they can come and visit you. Some of them at least.
>They'd like for you to explain what happened.
>Ideally they'd want you to stay for as long as it takes to understand you, but you'd never be a prisoner so to speak.
>A pension is the least they can do, though if you cooperate you won't want for money.
>You can live in Vesas if you are safely released, but they can't permit you to live as you are. It depends on how the public reacts to you though, so the restrictions on you could change.
>As much nutrition as you care to take is the least they can provide.
>As with living as you please, being a public tourist attraction will depend on how the public reacts to you.
>Clothing is an expected must, if they're going to study you.
>In the range of studies they'd conduct, a cure would be an obvious goal.

>>441127
That's why you can see they're a little reluctant. If it was permissible that you could resettle in public, they'd rather it be some other city. If it has to be a gambling city even, there's other cities like that.
>>
>>441134
Most of these look good.

For living in Vesas, though, say the height stuff is non-negotiable, although you're fine with living in another city for a while. Maybe Maimi, the scene there sounds nice.

For Mom and Dad, make sure that they're also set up all right.

Also, maybe, possibly a date with that cute lieutenant, there? He looks handsome...

And finally, that if and when a cure is found, that we won't be arrested for our shenanigans with all of our previous victims.
>>
>>441134
>>441169
I'd really rather not live in public, or have the people know about what happened. It would make doing whatever we want, getting around, and everything else so much harder. The rest is fine by me though

Also, when we get in their custody, can we arrange to have our human body separated from the rest of our mass? I'm fine with it dying, it just seems like a hassle to have around. We could also keep the body connected to half of our current mass.
>>
>>441256
Well, for the mass part, I'd be ok with freezing most of it, excusably for scientists to test with, but there in case of giant meteorite or kaiju.

The mass we've got back at our house is ours to bring along, though, plus I'd like to see if we can make our body super-dense with it.

As for living in public, I'd really not want to be stuck on a government supercompound. Someplace to find friends, enjoy a night out on the town, that sort of thing.
>>
>>441294
Yeah, I pretty much agree with everything you're saying here. OP, can we swing for a deal where we have a normal life, but testing every so often?
>>
>>441169
Again, the height thing depends on how the public responds to you. You mention living elsewhere like Myammy, but they rather abruptly shut that down and something slips about them not wanting you anywhere near the ocean.

Your immediate family being taken care of is fine, though they can't permit a date with the guy there. Your request for it leads them to question your relationship with Jeff and wonder if they made a mistake.

Talking about being arrested, they say if you are telling the truth and everything that's happened to you has been an accident and not your fault, then you shouldn't worry about it.

>>441256
>>441294
They are not aware or have even considered that you might be able to separate from the massive body to your normal Sarah body. Do you want to let them know this however?

As for your opinion on the matter, freezing the rest would probably be best, otherwise you'd be letting around 60 tons of human meat and a huge public event go to waste.

As for your containment it really all depends, since they're working on the mindset of your size and make of a giant tentacle flesh monster.
>>
>>441482
Don't let them know. Ask them if they can separate you, and then go along with what they have. Don't make any ridiculous demands, but don't let them push us around.
>>
>>441482
How about Treno, then?

Let them know that Jeff is kind of out for being a boyfriend, because you don't want him to realize you're a blob monster.

Don't let them know about shedding weight just yet. Maybe about in two to three months, say that you've been able to lose some of that mass.

Also, reform into a giant woman. If you're worried about letting them see your naughty bits, put some bone coverings over it like a bikini.
>>
>>441493
>>441511
You decide to conceal for now your ability to separate off your mass, asking if they can separate you. To go along with them you reform into giant Sarah with bone plating for appropriateness, till they come up with some long tarp sheets.

You let them know about Jeff which they understand, though they don't want you to suffer any sort of uneeded stress or trauma in the state you're in, out of worry for another person. If the end goal is to return to normal life, then imposing isolation on yourself isn't healthy. At any rate they will let him go then, so it's just your family knows. You ask about where you'll be headed and bring up Rheno but they say at least initially you'll have to be moved to a holding facility until they are prepared to properly move you to a place you'd want to live.

So unless there's anything else, do you accept the terms and go with them?
>>
>>441511
This, except don't turn into a giant woman. Don't let them know we have that much control.
>>
>>441554
Well, it's too late for
>>441555
so, let's just go with them.
>>
>>441555
Well they already know you can transform into a giant woman, when you burst out of the casino and they shot a missile at you.

Of course you could try and spin it some way, but you'd have to make up an excuse as to why you transformed before but can't now.
>>
>>441554
Pretty much, yeah.

Also, ask if having relationships are alright for the conditions of our holding.

While we're being transported, try to see who is going to be researching our altered biology, and try to become familiar with them.
>>
>>441559
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Let's just give our self up then
>>
>>441567
If it was a case of an existing relationship they wouldn't deny it, like if you were married they wouldn't prevent you from seeing a husband. For forming new relationships though, they don't understand your condition enough to permit that. For example, if close contact could spread your condition to another person.

You've not been transported yet, just followed an escort to a nearby base for a couple weeks till they properly transport you. A number of academics and professionals come and go, but no study of you takes place yet, and interaction is limited to simple conversations and questioning about you and what happened to you. And feeing of course, they also bring the frozen biomass from your home.

So it looks like you've got a few weeks on a base, anything you're interested in doing?
>>
>>441591
Nothing really, but pay attention, and look for anything strange.
>>
>>441591
Well, explain how we got to be a blobgirl, attempting to learn how to condense our mass to a smaller size (how big are we now, by the way), explaining what experiments we've done with our body already, checking up on what our frozen mass is consisted of, practicing moving our mass through a leash again, and seeing if we can make some friends on the scientific staff.

Oh yes, and flirting with the troops to make sure you've still got it.
>>
>>441627
Oh yeah, did we ever get back any of the money we didn't use up? If not, don't raise a big stink over it, but if so, ask if we can invest some of it in a fashion designer later, so he could design us some nice giantess threads eventually.
>>
>>441623
Really they seem too busy and occupied with things for you to notice anything out of the ordinary.

>>441627
You tell your story so far, but I would assume you want to leave out anything incriminating. So you spin it that after you got your powers and realized, you panicked and fled, eventually ended up in Vesas. Living there some time, eventually you lost it and your powers went crazy, prompting your rampage.

You try increasing density, already having some practice in the past, and you manage to condense yourself quite a bit. I'm not sure though what your size dimensions would be though, at around 60 tons of mass. After trying hard enough though you're able to compress yourself to the point of 1 ton to the size of your Sarah body, so your size and dimensions decrease to about 60 Sarah bodies in size. In doing this you come to notice a potential next level of powerlevel.

>Titan - The ultimate in size and power for your Chimera abilities, you'd lose the ability to absorb biomass, but you would attain a huge, protected, stable size and stay that way. Basically a kaiju, you'd only gain mass/size by normally eating, though you'd be able to eat pretty much anything.
>Mother Nature - The ultimate in shifting, consuming mass for your Chimera abilities, you would gain the ability to absorb *any* organic matter and shift your form more easily and to a greater extent.

The mass from your home hasn't been tampered with, so you incorporate it normally. You also try to practice more with the leash idea, but at this point you can stretch out tendrils or tentacles with great precision so it's pretty much the same thing. For science staff, there isn't really interaction between you yet so you can't make friends.

Lastly, you try some flirting but the guys on the base are not interested. Either because they know it's against regulation. or because you're a horrific fleshy mass. Your feeder though warms up to you, a shy young guy.

>>441642
No they bring your money when requested, and place it where you want it, in this case investing.
>>
>>441661
Mother Nature, for sure. It seems to be us rn, but more powerful. Titan seems like it would lose us flexibility and stealth.
>>
>>441661
Work on storing things inside of you that you could absorb, but without actually absorbing it in the first place. Start with things like trees and bushes, continue with chickens and sheep, then finally attempt a cow. Leave out actual people for an emergency situation.

Next, see what your innards look like by taking in a drone, then spitting it out and looking at the footage.

Finally, start off as friends with our ration manager. Don't get too attached, though, you can't really have a relationship when he's at risk of being absorbed.

Finally, moving day.
>>
>>441661
Wait, do we have to choose one, or we just get both?
>>
>>441688
You can't choose yet, it's just the next level of abilities.

Titan is if you want to be godzilla and tear down a city with impunity, Mother Nature is if you want to be all-consuming nightmare flesh monster and become super blob (though still vulnerable to your usual weaknesses).
>>
>>441701
You would choose, when you become large enough.

>>441696
As you are you can't absorb plants. You try though with animals, and it works well enough. You've never really had trouble maintaining contact with people and accidentally absorbing them. You've had sex and not absorbed your partners, after all. With practice you even manage it that the things inside you don't need some sort of vent through your body to the outside to breathe, instead letting air diffuse in and out through the flesh.

To see what you look like inside with the use of a drone (assuming you're in blob mode), think of the scene from Akira.

Meanwhile you become friendly with your feeder. You're not aware of the possibility of a relationship though, you know he wouldn't be permitted and with all the surveilance, it's not like you guys can date in secret.

>Moving day, they approach and ask you where you'd want to be moved to.
>Pick a state, basically. You can guess they'll turn down coastal states, they don't want to risk you getting into the ocean and fucking up the entire world.
>>
>>441730
Try Arizona, I guess. It's near Vesas, might be nice to see the Grand Canyon.

The Great Lakes is out, it's too cold, as well as most northward states during the winter...

Anyway, has any giantess clothes come to us in the mail, yet?
>>
>>441750
What sort of clothes are you wanting in the mail?
>>
File: image.jpg (721 KB, 1116x1310)
721 KB
721 KB JPG
>>441755
Some fashionable stuff, a cocktail dress or two, bike spats when people have to go under us when we're in skirts, and some undergarments, for both utility and to impress.
>>
>>441773
Well the government folks give you some jumpsuits, but you occasionally get some nice clothes in the mail. It feels a little weird though since you're not really wearing them to impress. Also there's some concern that your size is variable to change. Your ultimate form you'd guess, wouldn't even need clothes.

Still, for now it's a nice break from the monotony of uniform.
>>
What color is our hair? Can we change it?
>>
>>441791
All right then.

Let's see if we can talk to one of the scientists about possibly using our mass to clone human tissue for medical procedures, possibly produce STEM cells for neurological conditions, brain tissue for Alzheimer patents, that sort of thing. Try cloning tissue for test rats and pigs and see if you can get them to last longer outside your body. If any of the test animals start being goo monsters, though, absorb them, then keep trying. It'll help you feel better, knowing you're helping with medical research.

Also, see about making friends in Arizona, ones that are allowed to know that you're a blobgirl.
>>
>>441807
Naturally brown, but you can change it by this point, yes.

>>441750
You are transported by train to Arisona, a research facility and military base not so far from the Grand Chasm. You are introduced to your facilities which are fairly sparse but still much nicer than the holding base before.

Finally the research staff makes contact with you, and informs you of the various tests and research they'll be performing, and encourage you to try to experiment yourself.

So, it looks like this is your new life for the next half a year at least. Anything to try or look forward to?

>>441811
A first and obvious application is to turn your efforts to becoming something of a biological factory. Human biology you're most familiar with, so to fair success are you able to put out things like complete organs, special kinds of cells, you name it. This excites the research staff and your government handlers are appreciative of the cooperation and results, and inform you that ongoing cooperation of this nature will merit more freedom for you.

As for friends, for the time being you're kind of stuck to people of the facility and base. However there are government personnel who are non-military and non-research personnel, who aren't prevented by the same restrictions in getting to know you.
>>
>>441811
Oh and also, you try to clone actual whole animals, like rats and pigs, and while you are able to create functioning bodies, once separated from you they become lifeless. The problem is it seems, you can replicate an animal but you can't create a conciousness for it, and you can't transfer your own to it.
>>
>>441820
Month one:

Try to improve how long we can have our mass outside of us without it decaying.

Try to experiment making light body armor made of cartilage for light duty troops and police forces, made so that it won't be easily detected.

Attempt to make a surrogacy womb for women unable to have their own children without relying on surrogate mothers.

For a lark, model for an Air Force artist for plane art on a C-17 of us lounging in the Grand Chasm's river.
>>
>>441850
You manage to get a little better at separating your mass, by trying to willfully cut off control and nutrients to parts of your body without actually separating them. The separated mass doesn't really take form or anything though, it still just sits as blobs but survives for longer.

You also devote your body to making lightweight organic armor. It's difficult at first since the produced result ends up dying like any of your separated biomass. However eventually you work with that, and end up with dead but still functional cartilage protective armor. Once again the government handlers are pleased with this, and they say if you can figure out how to be more human-sized, they'd permit you supervised visits to a nearby town.

The womb efforts are more interesting to the science staff. Like with any part of you, you aren't able to just create a self-sustaining womb pod type thing and separate it from your body. However you are able to duplicate female reproductive systems within your mass (besides your own actual one) so that if there was a want or need, you could quite literally be a baby factory and support something on the order of hundreds of fetuses.

Finally for fun you get a pin-up style representation of yourself in giant woman form across the Grand Chasm river. This leads to you becoming something of a mascot for the facility.

>Continuing on again. Do you have an social or otherwise desires? How are you getting along with people in the facility?
>>
>>441890
For social stuff, see about spending time with some of the Department of Defense people, going out for drinks (yours in a specially made former fuel tank), watching movies, that sort of thing. Our closest friend, a researcher named Dr. Jessica Theel, has been asking if we could help her try to overcome her shyness with men.

For nonsocial stuff, work on layering bone over bone until it becomes superdense for undetectable heavy armor for building materials, and trying to work out different cancer treatments by introducing cancerous organs to your body, then seeing how our cells repair the cancerous organs.
>>
>>441949
In your free time you continue to get to know people around the facility, those whom are permitted to be friendly with you. Jessica in particular you've become close with, though to answer her question, how DO you get over your shyness towards men?

Meanwhile your bone construction efforts progress fairly well. Construction purposes aren't all that great since you're the only entity in the world which can create what you do, so while a regular output of armor for soldiers is useful, basically I-beams made of bone are not since it would take you so long to make an amount capable of making a building from. At least in your current size.

The cancer research is more distressing though. Absorbing cancerous matter isn't a problem but incorporating it into your body, produces a cancer specific to you, that you aren't able to control, and turns against the rest of your body. The interesting detail is that it grows in size remarkably fast, but without being able to incorporate or control it, the only way you find of dealing with it is to sever it from your body.

Strangely, the separated cancer mass doesn't die like normal separated mass, and only perishes slowly, overtime when it runs out of nutrients and starts to cannibalize itself.
>>
>>441988
Tell her about those moments where you absorbed so much mass that you basically had to go naked, and when you realized that, you just kinda said "Fuck it" and went out confidant and proud. Basically, that you realized you were going out standing tall, and that people can't take that away from you.

Continue improving the cartilage armor with different models, one for increased protection but heavier, the other reducing weight while affording the same amount of protection as your first model, based off of interlacing cartilage in a cross pattern.

As for the cancer research, BURN THE SAMPLES, BURN IT!
>>
>>442048
You relate to Jessica your stories and experiences with your abilities. She says she can't really relate to that, but she does appreciate the advice and says she'll try it. You're not sure if that means she's going to walk around naked or something else.

You continue your function as a biological manufacturing machine, and continue to differentiate and improve the various body armor you helped create. It's starting to reach a point of comparable reliability to the best personal defenses in production.

You want them to destroy the cancer masses, and for the most part they do, but the researchers keep at least one mass alive for study.

By this point a few months have passed, and your government handlers ask if you've gotten your human-ness size under control, so that you would be allowed trips to the nearby town.
>>
>>442071
Show them how you can make yourself super-dense, then try to shed about a good quarter of our mass, then preserve the lump for later. As a (creepy) bonus, create non brain functioning human bodies for the base medial surgeons to practice their skills on, so long as the bodies are hooked up to life support for preservation.

Meanwhile, if they allow us to go out, ask if Dr. Theel could accompany you, someplace for clothes and lunch, and try to see what clothes should work with her body type best by basically going into the changing room and shifting to be around her body type (after the Black Suits scan for cameras and block our changing room door).
>>
>>442107
You demonstrate your compressability powers, and shed the majority of your mass to be frozen, leaving you in your normal Sarah body. At this they allow you go into town under supervision, and even let Jessica come along.

Among other things like lunch you go to get clothes with her. Not sure what the purpose is, but in your own changing room, you shift your body to what you approximate hers to be, to find some clothes that would suit her, you figure.

Unless you had some other reason for doing it.

>Also feel free to express anything else you're interested in doing while in town. It's small, only a few thousand people, but it has all the basic amenities and passtimes.
>>
>>442126
Around the evening, help her work on her confidence by being a wing-woman for her, using the knowledge you gained from stripping to point her to guys that she'd be compatible with, and the ones that would likely be a bad match away.

After all that, ask the brass if you could send a message to your parents, letting them know you're all right and doing fine, and not rotting in a ditch, and have them flown out to Arisona so you can explain what happened to you.

Continue working on the surrogacy wombs, focusing on being able to make an external womb that can feed the fetus on the mass you give it to sustain itself.

Finally, ask the brass if you can regain the mass you've lost recently by ingesting non-cancerous medical waste tissue donated by hospitals around the state.
>>
>>442185
With your experience you help Jessica out when the two of you hang out at a bar. You both find her a guy she's compatible with, and even get approached yourself by a local guy. You're not sure if you want to consider him though, given your living situation.

Going out and having these sorts of connections with people, you start to long for home and ask if you can see your parents. You are allowed to get into contact with them, and you are permitted to meet with them in town to explain your situation to them. It's pretty emotional all around and you feel bad having to lie to them. They also want to move out here to be close to you, if you would like it.

Back at the facility, once again you try with the surrogacy situation, but can't really get it to work on it's own. However, like with your ability to put out living but mindless human bodies for study, you are able to synthesize full female bodies, which with life support (like the other bodies) can remain alive, and would be able to bear or at least carry children.

Last of all on the topic of biomass, the rate at which they feed you, you've actually been keeping your mass consistent. However in asking for medical waste they don't see a problem with it and figure maybe your body could in the process adapt to various diseases.
>>
>>442207
>They also want to move out here to be close to you, if you would like it.
Tell them that you're fine and they don't have to move, but that you'll call them every week or so, to keep them from worrying.

Moving back to science matters, see how the results of our replicated organs are, the rate of rejection, and the possible risks of begetting more blob people.

Finally, request a large amount of insects for absorption so that you could look at creating chitin for future armor projects for tanks or personal armor.
>>
>>442255
You discourage your parents from moving, but intend to maintain regular contact with them.

So far the organs you made are functioning well on average. There's usual cases of host rejection or transplant organ failure, but the only notable problem that has happened occasionally is blood type incompatibility since your body contains every blood type so organs made by it sometimes have incompatibility issues. Overall though the program is a marked success.

Lastly you request insects to absorb, and are granted the request. It's a pretty disturbing ordeal that grosses you out, but eventually you start to become familiar with chitin and are able to start synthesizing it. In time you can probably start experimenting with it too.

Only question, after separating from most of your mass, do you care to rejoin with it? Or remain as your (roughly) Sarah body, as you continue with research?
>>
>>442349
Rejoin with our mass, you've kind of gotten to like being massive.

Anyway, if enough time has passed, see if you are allowed to hold an interview with the news about your condition and what happened to you.

Next up, work on a treatment for patients with severe spinal injuries, involving putting your mass around the spinal column through a incision, then using it to repair the damage.

Later, attempt to work on your chitin experiment by working with tank engineers to create experimental chitin-based Abrams tank armor.

Finally, see how Jessica's doing with her relationship with her new boyfriend.
>>
>>442793
Oh, yeah, after we have our interview, ask the Brass for a large amount of reptiles to absorb and start working with the science team and fashion designers on replicating cattle and reptile leather for people who want to wear leather but object to hunting or killing animals.

Begin clinical trials of artificial surrogacy, using your life support clones and own copied wombs. Start with a small group of about 20 clones and 20 copied wombs. Meet all prospective parents personally in your large form so they know what they're getting into, and warn them about the possibility of having blob children.

Finally, ask brass if you could increase the size of your mass by about 25 percent, in order to increase production of cartilage armor.
>>
>>442793
As strange as it is, you feel more comfortable attached to the "rest" of your body so rejoin with it when you get the chance.

Your handlers again advise against media attention, but if you can maintain your normal form and follow the narrative they give you, you would be allowed to enter the public eye. Is there anything particular or way in which you want the media attention to take place?

Back to medical research, you want to try using your ability invasively on people. They won't permit you to do it on another regular person yet, but your braindead bodies are alright. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work all that well, something to do with the neural interface and not "noticing" the repaired damage. Like someone losing a limb and having a new one attached, but their brain and their neural wiring not noticing or remembering how to operate the missing arm. You wonder if it would work with a normal person though, whose conciousness is in tact...

The chitin experiments move forward without issue, and you even try to apply it directly to vehicle armor. As when you started making cartilage armor, it isn't very good at first but with practice you can get better and better.

As for Jessica, things are going well for her. She's taking it slow with the new boyfriend, but they're happy together. You're happy for her, but at the same time saddened at their relationship, as you miss that kind of connection with someone. Really you haven't had it since before gaining your powers, the one night stands in Vesas to steal money didn't really do anything for you in that regard.
>>
>>442862
They aren't that interested in applying your abilities to that outlet. You can get a ton of reptiles if you like, no problem, but considering already your existence is pretty hush-hush, they're reluctant to devote an asset as valuable as you to the purpose of making animal-friendly leather and hide.

For the surrogacy effort, it's not copied or artificial wombs, it's just the normal reproductive system of the braindead bodies you made. You synthesized the bodies with everything in tact including reproductive system, so you don't have to do anything after they're made, to make them capable of reproduction.

While the effort is appreciated by the researchers and your handlers though, they can't permit just anyone being allowed to the program or for you to meet prospective parents. For research, at least for now, they'll just be using donor sperm and eggs (they're reluctant to make use of the eggs belonging to the actual bodies themselves).

Finally you ask about being allowed to grow larger for the purpose of higher rate of production. They're ok with that, though do you want to get larger by just eating and building mass normally, or by absobing biomass?
>>
>>443381
>if you can maintain your normal form and follow the narrative they give you, you would be allowed to enter the public eye.

Hm, tell them you'd rather prefer to show what you are now, but that you'd be willing to do interviews in a closer to normal form when they do eventually give permission to allow your massive form.

>The chitin experiments
Continue to improve your chitin vehicle armor, retool your cartilage armor by attempting a "braiding" form made of thin slivers of cartilage braided together into a thin, breathable undershirt, and start work on a one-use armored membrane worn under suits, meant for politicians and socialites worried about getting caught in dangerous situations.

Work on animal leather anyway, you can always send off the materials to designers when you become public anyways.

>the surrogacy effort
Check in from time to time on the developments, make sure to check for situations that could lead to blob babies. You really don't want to be saddled with children just yet, especially ones that could absorb other children.

>do you want to get larger by just eating and building mass normally, or by absobing biomass?

About 50 percent regular food, 25 percent medical waste biomass, 15 percent animal biomass (avian stock), and for something environmentally sound, 10 percent biodegradable waste from local dumps.
>>
>>443395
Oh, and celebrate Halloween with friends and the staff by showing up as the Way-Puft Marshmallow Girl, with Jessica and her significant other (we'll call him Davin Ricard) dressed as Ghostblasters.

After having a few too many drinks, we'll probably take someone home for the evening.
>>
>>443477
As you wish, they do a small government press release, explaining your situation and the nature of how it came to be. There is a lot of interest from the international science community, while various groups call for your destruction, but otherwise the reaction is a confused interest, but the average person's life isn't really affected. For interviews though, when you say massive form, you mean your fleshy mass? If you're trying to aim for the Mother Nature goal of your powers, being able to maintain a form like your giant woman body isn't going to be possible. That's under the Titan purview. Either way, your handlers would very much prefer you did any interviews as normal Sarah.

Which an interesting detail, after the press release, you hear from your parents that Jeff was asking about you and wanted to get in contact. Understandably he thought you were dead.

Otherwise, armor development continues, both cartilage and chitin getting better, the former now better than standard production armors. In your spare time you also make leather just for practice.

The surrogacy experiments meanwhile seem successful. It's really just a case of using the artificial bodies to carry implanted embryos. Even though they are braindead, their reproductive systems function just fine.

Meanwhile in trying to get bigger yourself, you try to mix it up and take in biomass and sustenance from different sources. Eventually after about a week, you're around 25% more massive. Just keep in mind that if your genes become too saturated with non-human DNA, you'll start to change to take on the traits of the greater source of genes.

>>443490
Come October, you attend a Halloween party in the facility. Jessica isn't able to bring her boyfriend though since he's a civilian.

Furthermore you manage to get drunk off a lot of alcohol, but you have no luck spending some alone time with anyone. Part because they're not interested in a heaping flesh monster, but also because they're either not permitted or all the surveilance is too off-putting.

Thus you spend a lonely rest of Halloween on the base, while Jessica later on heads into town to see her boyfriend.
>>
>>443537
>For interviews though, when you say massive form, you mean your fleshy mass?
Well, I kind of thought that we could still maintain our giant woman form. What's the weight limit for the giant woman form, because that's around where it'll be.

>you hear from your parents that Jeff was asking about you and wanted to get in contact.
Panic for a bit about Mom and Dad telling Jeff that we're a gigantic mutant blob monster. Then call him up for a little bit. See if he's ok, if he's moved on, that sort of stuff.

>Thus you spend a lonely rest of Halloween on the base.
Cry a little bit. Just a little.

After all that, work on your density, so you can be a giant woman and still retain your full mass without turning into The Thing. If that proves too hard, try a Lamia type shape, a woman's upper body melded with a snake's lower body. The snake part might be off putting, but it's better then the amorphous mass form.
>>
>>443564
Finally, start talks to NASA about possibly working together on creating modified human DNA for the future development of genecrafted humans made for colonization missions to Mars and the Moon.
>>
>>443564
It really depends on what your end goal for your powers is. If you're looking to have a solid, giant form, then you're going to be going for Titan. If you like your biomass and absorbing abilities then you're going to have to sacrifice a discernible, stable form to go for Mother Nature. I'd say probably 100 tons would be the weight limit though, for being a giant woman. After that, you'd need to take on a form more suited for extreme mass, or you'd just lose shape to your usual amorphous mass.

On the topic of Jeff, it's not that your parents told him, he just saw the govenrment press release about you. You get into contact with him and he's happy to hear from you, and to be honest it's nice to hear from him as well. He's doing fine and wants to know how you're doing, as well as if you want him to be there for you. It seems like he hasn't moved on, or at least doesn't seem to care about your condition if he can help you or see you again.

And yes, Halloween was a disappointment. You don't regret having gotten your powers, but in many ways your life has gotten worse. But you can't let that get to you, as you try to get better with your density control. As said, there's an upper limit that your giant woman form can have before you become too large and dense, which only the Titan path would exceed. It is possible though if you want, that you could still maintain a semi-human appearance. Still a giant woman but not entirely solid, kind of globby. As long as you don't stand up or try to walk around, you'd be able to maintain your giant human body for the most part, it would just not be wholly solid or consistent.

Lastly there's the idea for gene modification, though you're sure you can do something that fine. You aren't even able to modify your own genone (or else you'd have gotten rid of the animal genes) let alone someone or something else's. The best you can do is adapt and try to change your biology to best suit a challenge. This would make you a good candidate then for something like a Mars mission, but it's not like you could alter genes to suit it. The best you could do is try altering other people yourself to suit that environment, in the same way that you'd alter yourself, but as always you've been restricted from doing that and there aren't even volunteers anyway.
>>
>>443626
>I'd say probably 100 tons would be the weight limit though, for being a giant woman.

We'll have the press release in the 75 ton range, then. Meanwhile, see about trying to keep at least a feminine top half on your blob form, as just having conversations with something with no face is kind of uncomfortable for everyone.

For Jeff, tell him that you do miss him, but that you're really nervous about showing him your blob form around him and your parents. After that, tell him that once we are released from government control, that we'll give having a relationship a shot, once our biology is a bit less murky and the cameras less interested.

As for the altering of other people, explain to the heads that the modifications would most likely be done during fetal development in the first through second trimesters, not with fully grown humans. We're thinking with small alterations during fetal development in mind, not taking an astronaut and ripping into his DNA like paper.

For things to do, try to develop a method for growing artificial ivory from animal DNA, particularly elephant. Offset the oncoming animal genes by taking in more medical waste biomass.
>>
>>443687
Well you're already at that weight range, if you wanted to do a press release. In terms of comfort though, even if you became a 1000 tons blob, you could still make an extension of yourself as your Sarah body for people to talk to.

Also a reminder that you are able to separate from your blob mass entirely, to just Sarah, if that was a thing that mattered in relation to Jeff or your parents. That's how you get into town after all, not like you're going there with all your mass. You speak to Jeff though and let him know that you don't think a relationship would work out for now, despite his desire for one. When you are given your freedom again it would be better you think, and he says he's willing to wait for that, but will always be there in case you reconsider.

On the altering other people topic, they are even less interested in the idea of you tampering with fetuses. They'd rather adults actually, since at least they'd be able to volunteer and consent. If you're really big on the idea though, they say you can try it on a fetus of your own, if you care to conceive one, or are able to synthesize one which could survive separate of you and not be braindead like the other bodies.

On a more practical matter you question the viability of creating rare or valuable animal products, and focus on ivory. You'd need elephant genes though and to be familiar with their form first, though I assume you're ok with that, so your handlers obtain an elephant for you to absorb. After that, as with anything it takes some practice, but you are able to synthesize ivory (or at least a good immitation, for now) and in whatever shape you feel like rather than just tusks. That definitely turns a few heads, especially those of your handlers.
>>
>>443761
Shelve the Mars Colonist project for now. Altering a person when they're completely grown up is a bit uncomfortable to you, as you don't want to risk the possiblilty of creating another blob person when their familiar with their original form. While you like the powers it gave you, the getting used to them part really sucked, and you wouldn't want that on anyone.

Tell them that the artificial ivory is to be used to bribe China and Africa to ensure harder enforcement on elephant poaching and the illegal ivory trade.

Finally, see about making some more friends, possibly single women friends, because although we do like Jessica, sometimes it's nice to just have a fellow lonely heart with you on the couch. Let's try someone from the armor experimentation division, Lana Merric.
>>
>>443807
For various reasons you decide to hold off on altering another person, though weirdly enough you do hear of a volunteer.

You're not sure if you can put out the amount of ivory it would take to offset the black market trade, unless like, you completely devoted yourself to it and turned your body into an ivory making factory. However, you still want to do your environmental part, and contribute what you can.

Meanwhile you try to make some more friends, now that Jessica often depresses you by talking about how happy she is. Not many people are interested in being friends with you though, but Lana is friendly enough. She's not as nice as Jessica but in a way easier to get along with given how careless she is about normal social interaction.
>>
>>443859
Take a look at the files of who the volunteer is.

See about continuing making chitin armor for tanks and making improvements to it.

Try to continue making more friends. Maybe someone in town, when we can make a visit.
>>
>>443936
The volunteer looks to be a female researcher, fairly junior on the staff and young, but puts in a large number of hours and effort. You're not that familiar with her though you have seen her, she seems kind of a loner.

Meanwhile you continue with armor and chitin efforts, getting better. You're still a ways off from modern standards, but yours is definitely more lightweight and able to be created in more complicated ways.

Also on the few visits to town to try to make some friends there, who share simillar interests to you so you can hang out. It's a slow process since you're not often going to the town, but you do make an acquaintance or two.
>>
>>443958
Interview the modification prospectee to see her reasons to try something that would alter her body so drastically. Try to be friendly with your asking.

Work on sculpting ivory inside of ourself for fun.

Try to recycle biological waste from local dumps to gain biomass.

Take a long look as to what happened to the cancerous mass we made. Check all the reports on its development.
>>
>>444111
You have a friendly enough discussion with the volunteer, though her social skills are rather lacking. She says she admires all the good you've done despite the unfortunate turn of events you went through so far. She wants to be able to help out however she can and understands that one of the remaining barriers to the research effort is you being unable to experiment with live bodies, even if that means hers.

Meanwhile you mess around with making ivory in various forms and perfecting it's creation, as well as requesting waste from dumps to consume.

As for the cancerous growths, the one that wasn't destroyed has been kept alive just by providing basic nutrition, and even growing. Perhaps a bit worrisome, it functions like normal cancer, but still has the sort of abilities you do and absorbs organic matter it comes into contact with. As much time as they've had the growth for though, you're not sure what they would still want with it or uses they could have.
>>
>>444287
Get to know the volunteer better (we'll call her Irine Holm) outside of work, and start to become actual friends. Take her and Lana out on the local town for a night at the movies, something like Homicide Horde, then maybe a bit of dancing.

Start work on what modifications a standard human would need to live comfortably on Mars, assuming it had been oxygenated.

Invite family over to the base for Thanksgiving, show them the work that you've been working on, try not to scare them too much. Talk to Mom about Jeff and how's he doing, and our fears about him being scared about what we've become, and just basically bond with her.

After that mushy shit, see how quickly we can try to pump out as much ivory as we can without losing quality, then see how the surrogate children are doing.
>>
>>444355
You get to know Irene better, if she does want to volunteer. Along with Lana you spend more time together, including in town. It's a little dreary for you since neither of them are sociable, but they seem to enjoy themselves at least and you'll take any chance you can to get out. You also request your parents over for Thanksgiving to spend time with them. You decide it's for the best though to do so in your normal Sarah form, so at least they won't be worried by you, even if the work is ghastly. You also spend time with your mom which is a nice experience after not having seen her really since gaining your powers. The topic turns to Jeff, who you express worry about his potential reaction to you, but your mmom tells you he clearly cares about you and often asks and wants to know how you are. Since she's only familiar with how you are right now, Sarah as normal, she don't understand why you'd be worried about what he thinks in that way.

When you say start to work on modifications, you mean on yourself? You'll have to imagine the results I guess, since it's unclear what sort of modifications a person would need.

On the topic of actual work, you try to see how much ivory you can produce while still maintaining equal quality. It's a good amount, and you're getting better at it. As for the surrogate children, no known issues as the braindead bodies carry them just fine.
>>
>>444489
>Since she's only familiar with how you are right now

Is she aware about us having blob powers, and are we allowed to tell our parents about it? If both answers are yes, show her a little about what you can do, some of the more tame stuff, like shifting height and features a bit. If she's cool with it, show her some of the size stuff, albeit not enough to scare her.

For the modifications, it's for Irine. It's mostly writing what is necessary for survival right now and planning, no real human modifications yet.

Finally, see if the brass would allow Jeff on the base for Christmas, and if "Personal Relations" were to happen, could they keep surveillance off of us for just one night.

As for work, ask if you could attempt to work with brain damaged individuals in trying to repair the damage that they suffered for experimental treatments. After that, try to work on cloning tiger materials used in Chinese folk medicine by ingesting tigers.

Finally, try to increase body armor production, and see the numbers on what people have to say about them, like what's been working and what needs improvement.
>>
>>444553
She's aware that there's something that happened to you but not the full extent. You can tell them though, that's not a problem. You try to keep it as tame as you can though, remaining humanoid and changing size some. It's quite distressing for her, and it's pretty emotional when she lets you know how sorry she is for what happened to, that you don't deserve it, et cetera. You decide against showing her some of the more ghastly things you can do then.

For Irene, right. Well planning goes on for possible modifications. There is a greater interest in different applications for your abilities to her though, than any NASA effort. Your handlers would rather, if you were going to use your powers on Irene, pursue their desired applications.

As for Jeff, same as your parents he's allowed to the facility, and could live there if that's what you (the both of you) wanted. If that were the case, then they'd set up a more liveable space for you, since currently you've just been in a warehouse. They might even get a place for the two of you in town, if there was a good reason for it. On the short term though, for Christmas you can definitely make arrangements for Jeff to visit, and they don't have a problem giving you privacy. On short notice they can get a mobile home sort of unit, if you want to live together over the holidays, privacy afforded to you of course.

Back to work, they deny you the ability to work on brain damaged individuals, only volunteers and ones within the program at that. Unless you can find some way to fix the problem you have working on the braindead bodies, Irene might be your only option for now.

On the topic of your conservation efforts though, you turn your attention to tigers, and are provided with some to assimilate. Once again, even at your current size they don't think you'd be able to offset the black market, but who knows.

Your armor efforts are maintained as well, and you want to increase them. Their usage has been very promising and as usual they are generally much lighter and more flexibile than standard production armor. However, they don't hold up to heavy ordinance, and they tend to not function as well in extreme temperatures. Also overtime they do eventually degrade just by wear and tear.
>>
>>444615
>It's quite distressing for her, and it's pretty emotional
Hug it out a bit and cry, then spend some happy moments watching The Blues Brothers together, bonding. When she's about to go home, let her know that it's all right for her to tell Jeff about what we can do, but just keep it to "she can change her size and shape".

For Irine, ask her what exactly she'd like to have, in terms of human durability alterations for extreme conditions, such as heat and cold and increased healing ability.

For the armor, test out our different models on extreme heat, and work on fixing that issue. Then start work on a heavily armored bone suit, meant for heavy ordinance and bomb disposal.

Finally, request additional Biomass support for increasing production of transplant organs, mostly consisting of medical waste, animal matter, and, for something different, plant proteins.
>>
>>444684
You share some time with your mom before she leaves, emotional but welcome. It's a nice experience to share after staking it on your own in places like Yew Nork and Vesas. Before she leaves you also tell her what she might to Jeff, but she says it's probably best if you tell him.

Later when you talk to Irene, she actually says she'd be happy with whatever you want, and wants you to do to her what *you* want to rather than what you're told. It's a little creepy actually, though her admiration and faith in you seems genuine. Meanwhile the research team want her prepped for Mars life, and your handlers want her physical atributes improved.

Back to work, you continue to develop and improve the personal armors, focusing on heat resistence. As well you try to create a suit wholly out of dense bone, but like anything it will take time and practice. You also request more mass to be able to make more organs, which is granted. Your attempts to absorb plant matter though doesn't work, and it falls more under the Mother Nature path.
>>
Begin Irine's modification, focusing on surviving Mars' harsh terrain. Give her a reddish hue to her skin for kicks, and alter her bones and skin to ensure that any cuts and fractures heal in half the time with the same amount of care a baseline human would receive. Finally, include monkey-like feet for easier climbing (Note: Must request monkeys for biomass to higher ups).

For Christmas, invite over our family and friends (and Jeff) over to the base. Show them the town, some of our synthetic ivory, and tell them about helping out with developing alternative technology to surrogate wives.

For Jeff, walk into a private area for a bit so you can show him a small bit of your powers, like changing our hair color and a bit of height change. Let him know that you can do much more extreme things, but you didn't want to scare him off. If he's OK with your powers, spend some time alone with him privately, in his trailer, doing what you'd expect.

For gifts, make little statuettes from our synthetic ivory for our friends and family, and give Jeff a leather jacket we made and a picture of us in our 100 ton not-blob-woman form in lingerie on the Air Force tarmac. Tell him to leave that last gift alone until he gets home.
>>
>>444788
Oh, yeah, ask if you can get your high school yearbook from your parents, too.
>>
>>444788
That's a bit extreme for something you've never done. It'll be awhile before you go for anything as radical as changing bones or skin. Even if you wanted to jump right in, you haven't been permitted to do anything yet. First you just take time getting used to her biology in order to interface with it, and experiment with samples taken from her like blood and hair. You keep in mind though the sort of changes you think she'd benefit from, and also request monkeys for absorption.

Come December as production starts to wind down for the holidays, you have over your parents and Jeff (persons beyond close relations not permitted to the facility, though you're able to visit them in town) to spend Christmas and new years together. Everyone is put up in town except for Jeff who has the mobile home set up for you two. All in all they're glad to see you and see how you're doing and helping out, and are relatively impressed at all the things you've accomplished. Your parents are really happy for you in particular, at having turned your abilities to good use rather than doing something horrible.

As for Jeff when you get the time alone, you try to explain the situaiton better to him, and show him some of what you can do while saying you can do a lot more. It doesn't seem to faze him at all though, and he hugs you tightly and says he's just happy to see you again and how much he missed you, and that he's glad you're alright. It might be a little sappy, but this is the first bit of genuine affection you've received in a long time, before even you gained your powers since you and Jeff hadn't properly started dating yet. In your opinion you've coped quite well with everything that's happened so far and remained strong, but Jeff's positive reaction and feeling his arms around you makes you feel a lot better about yourself and your situation. While your relationship with him wasn't intimate before, you feel over the holidays it probably will become that way.

You've also made gifts for everyone to take back with them when they go, ivory for most everyone and a really nice leather jacket for Jeff, as well as a rather seductive centerfold-type aerial picture of yourself laying suggestively across the tarmac in lingerie in your giant woman form, for that one day when everyone on base was out practicing evacuation drills and you asked for a favor from one of the heli pilots to do a flyover.

In return you also get your yearbook from your parents. Overall though it's a very nice time, and a huge relief after the months of work and research, and the months before that of living on the run as a new flesh horror.

>So you've got the holidays ahead of you, anything in particular you want to do or accomplish, besides the expected usual of being with friends and family?
>>
>>444890
Also I just realized, it will probably be a couple months before you're cleared for experimenting with Irene, assuming your handlers are ok with the preparation tests beforehand.

However, you and Jeff do have the holidays, several weeks together with privacy. Jeff himself has also expressed a desire to remain here to be with you and be there for you/support you, if you'll have him.

It's a potentially villainous thing to consider, depending on how you act towards it, but given the time and privacy you have with Jeff, and the potential physical intimacy you could have with him should you want it, you would be in a position to interact with him (or specifically, his biology) using your abilities. After all, you wouldn't be observed, and your handlers can't refuse what they can't see or don't know about.

Just something to consider, if you wanted to act on it, or bring it up to Jeff.
>>
>>444890
Introduce them to our friends on base, as well as our higher ups and co-workers.

Continue work on the Bone Bomb Suit, increasing it's protective abilities by layering thin layers of bone on top of cartilege braid on top of thick bone.

Study the surrogate children again, just for a lark.

Try out a new spider-woman form based on your chitin making abilities.

Visit the town with friends and family.

Request more giantess clothing.

Look for something cute to wear for New Year's Eve, where you're looking forward to spending time with Jeff.

Schedule a meeting with your government handlers, discussing our successes in experimenting with forms of body armor and medical work, and requesting to be given further freedoms, namely to live off base, albeit nearby the town.
>>
>>444901
>you would be in a position to interact with him (or specifically, his biology) using your abilities.

Let's not spoil the moment, OP.
>>
>>444901
Oh, yeah, it's been a long, LONG time since we took a look at our weird glowy rock. How's it looking?
>>
>>444940
Your parents and Jeff you can show about the base, reminder that beyond them your friends aren't permitted. They're happy to see though you're getting on well with people about the facility, rather than you just being a lab rat for study.

In the little work time you have you try to perfect the bone suit, going as far as to combine it with different substances. It's definitely coming along nicely. A little fun in mind, you also try to mess around with chitin to your own form, and try out some insect features. A spider comes to mind, which you are able to imitate with flesh powers, though it's not very good, but it is your first time.

Out of curiosity you study the surrogate children, which seem to be coming along just fine. Really it's like women in a coma, their bodies acting surrogate.

The rest of most of your free time you spend in town with family and friends over the holidays, a really welcome change of pace from the months without friends or family. While in town clothing comes to mind, and you both seek out more giant sized clothes, but also clothes for your Sarah body. Particularly something cute, half for New Years, half for Jeff.

Finally you seek a meeting with your handlers and make your request of having the freedom to live a life in town. Your many accomplishments under supervision are brought up, as well as your cooperation and good behavior. There is some debate and decision making, but a couple days after Christmas you are informed that it would be allowed for you to live in town, under the condition that you remain in your normal Sarah form off-base (though they don't really care what you do in the privacy of your house), that you remain under supervision and surveilance (again, your house will remain private), and that you continue to commit a quota of time to the project.

Basically you'll be given the freedom of a house in town and a life with Jeff, and your work on the project will become like a day job. Many experiments after all, can be conducted on your mass while you're separate from it.

>>444948
Just noting it as a possibility, if you ever wanted to pursue it. This would be the first time you have regular close contact with a person aware of your abilities, and without supervision.

>>444959
In all the talk and planning of a new, more free life, it suddenly dawns upon you that you haven't checked up on your glowing rock in some time. You wonder where it is, unable to find it yourself, and ask your handlers about it. They don't seem to know what you're talking about, and when you describe it to them they say they found no such thing in your house in Vesas when it was searched.

>Anything else to finish up the holidays? Your friends and family will be leaving a few days after New Years, while Jeff is assumed to be staying if you're ok with that. You'll be getting your house in town together about two weeks after New Years, until then you're winding down out of living on base.
>>
>>445004
>>Anything else to finish up the holidays?
If Jeff's going to stay, he should probably head back to talk to his parents about the situation first, and that he needs to at least transfer to a local college. He may love you, but you'd like him to finish his degree in engineering.

Work on our spider girl form.

For work, see about communicating with tank engineers about ways to make your chitin tank armor prototype more durable, as well as easier to replace.

Hang out with the girls for a nice evening out to celebrate, along with the chopper pilot who took our picture (Kylie Barnes).

Try to alter the organs you produce for experimentation, such as making livers that are so adapt at filtering toxins, they make it completely impossible to get drunk or high.

Read about how well our cartilage braid has been doing for FBI and CIA agents, and see if they have any requests for a lighter version.

Watch Jeff's face when he opens his present.

Enjoy Jeff's company for an evening.

Bring protection. Just in case.

Feel happy.
>>
>>445039
Oh, and before I conk out...

In your free time, work with Chuck Tingle on helping him with his Amazon book, "Sexually Serviced by the Bisexual BlobGirl".
>>
>>445039
You raise a good point, and Jeff agrees to discuss the situation over with his parents, and look into possibly transferring. Though he's interested in taking a year off at least to be there for you as you get used to a more normal life again, and to help you out however he can.

In your little work time, you continue to experiment both on yourself and with making things, like altering your form to that of a progressively larger spider and better forms of the tank armor, particularly an interlocking method so that plating can be switched out or replaced with extreme ease and rapidity. You also try to alter your organ production method to synthesize designer organs. Though you do manage to create them with success, they don't take well to regular hosts unfortunately. It seems that the problem you have with making normal organs, of being created in a body with multiple blood types and various antibodies, only increases the more you alter and design organs to be different. You imagine in a person who was themselves altered it could be a good fit, but in the average human it mostly doesn't work. To offset this failure though, it's a nice read to see how well your body armor has fared, and rather than improving upon what you already made, it seems they're interested in the same kind of armor that goes beyond just the torso.

A couple days before New Years you spend with your small but growing group of friends in the facility known as "the girls" which is some great fun for everyone involved. It's neat to see particularly, how members like Irene and Lana would normally never socialize like this, but get along in their own way. It's kind of weird that you don't recall feeling this genuinely close with a group of friends at least since high school.
>>
>>445039
New Years even you spend with Jeff, and have him open his present rather than wait to go home. He really appreciates the jacket, but tries and fails to hide his strong shall we say feelings towards the photo. It takes him a minute before he realizes he's looking at giant-sized you laying across the tarmac outside. He says it's a nice picture, but he'd love to see you like that himself for real. You're not sure if he's talking about you in lingerie or you as a giant, but it makes you feel something you haven't felt in a long time.

You figure you can answer one of those two desires of his, as you show off the nice something you got to wear for him, which leads to spending a special night together as you move from possibly in a relationship to a couple. You worry beforehand about the effectiveness of contraceptives on your body, so have him use protection just in case. He understands though, and doesn't mind, willing to work with what you need until you understand your body better.

What a way to start the new year after all you've been through. For the first time in a long time, you're genuinely happy.

>>445071
The next day you are woken up by Jeff showing you some affection with a kiss here and a squeeze there, before he leaves you to make breakfast. Thinking about the holiday so far and screaming into a pillow with joy, among the many things going through your mind, you also consider taking that guy Chuck up on his offer about writing his Amazon book.
>>
>>445286
See Jeff off at the airport , and tell him you'll surprise him for his upcoming birthday when he's back.

Ask brass if you can start experimenting with your eggs and donor sperm in a controlled setting. If so, ask Jeff if he'd be alright with using some of his when he comes back.

Check up on the surrogate project, it's about time that the due date is arriving.

Practice splitting up yourself into quintuplets, not for experimenting so much as for Jeff's surprise.

Look up rumors of glowing superpower rocks, in case of more people suddenly having super strength or blood powers or psychic abilities.

Look up the results of our experimental chitin tank armor.

Continue the designer organs, deciding that since you're working with her DNA anyway, Irine will be the recipient of the first alcohol-immune liver. When she recovers, and if the liver is successful implanted, begin testing, until you and your friends win a ton of money when she drinks five pilots under the table.
>>
>>445465
You ask your handlers about being able to experiment on your own with eggs and sperm, they're obviously uncertain of what you have in mind but say if the research team is ok with it then it's fine. You don't bother asking the research team because this has to do with your private life. Before he goes, you ask Jeff how he'd feel about you using his gametes for experiments. He's understandably confused, but willing to help you out however he can, though you're not sure he entirely understands what you intend to do. To be fair, are you even sure what you intend to do? Either way you say your goodbyes to him when he leaves, and he says he'll try to be back as soon as he can, perking up when you mention a surprise waiting when he returns.

For the surrogacy project, the due dates are still a little ways off, but things are progressing naturally. The selected parents are looking forward to it, and occasionally get to visit the facility to see for themselves. You also look into the tank armor project, and you're surprised to find they're more interested now in applying the chitin to lighter combat vehicles, like trucks and troop transport. It suits that purpose better they find, for providing normally lightly armored vehicles with significant protection while still remaining light.

In your spare time you look up any instances of, and ask your handlers to keep an eye out for the rock, or rocks like it, in case other people like you arise. On a more personal note you also try splitting yourself to surprise Jeff. As with the synthetic bodies, you can more or less create a clone of yourself, however it is similarly braindead. Thus you try experimenting with something you've never tried before, of splitting your conciousness. You start by keeping it to your own body, by making another head and trying to share your mind. It sort of works, but in the sense that your mind is quite literally split between them, each sharing what amounts to half a mind. You go as far as to even split apart into two bodies, and it works, there are two of you separate and walking and talking. Though with only half a mind, they feel a fair bit simpler in intelligence and capabilities. You try to see how far you can go, and end up splitting into 10 copies of yourself before each body's intelligence is dangerously low to the point of being little more than basic instincts and impulses. You could try further experimenting with this ability if you like, but it's actually fairly tiresome for you. It seems while your body can shift and change easily at will, your mind doesn't do well to being stretched and separated so much.

Lastly you set about a more basic plan for Irene's modification, for single organs with single focuses. Stage 1 of the testing has moved along fine, of interacting with samples taken from her. Stage 2 is the research team doing their own testing on the matter.
>>
>>445881
>To be fair, are you even sure what you intend to do?

Yep. Our stated goal to the brass is to experiment with our altered eggs and injecting them with normal sperm to see if (insert science-y stuff here) happens. Our actual goal is to see if it's safe to have sex with Jeff without protection.

After that, become internet famous after the Westburg Baptist Church, when they find out about the surrogacy project, try to protest surrogacy/your existence/people being happy. When you arrive from your temporary off base home, due to being groggy and tired from a long night of splitting yourself, instead of going through the crowd, you morph into your giantess mode (with bone coverings for decency), step OVER the protesters, morph back, and continue on your way without looking back.

Finally, hire some architects and contractors to build a house for you, with a 30 foot ceiling, a freezer room for biomass, and a gymnasium sized testing area for experiments at your house.
>>
>>446016
As before you spin it and make it sciency, your handlers don't really seem to mind, without knowing your true intent. You can take up on the chance when Jeff gets back, if you care to.

As for trying to get past a crowd of protestors by turning giant, the problem is of course you need your mass to turn giant, and your handlers don't let your mass off-site. However, you are able to change your appearance to mingle through the crowd and then promptly change back to their alarm, all caught on film. Your handlers ask if you want the protestors removed.

Lastly you have the idea for a different type of house. All of the things you request for are fine, except for the freezer part since your handlers don't want you having excess mass off-site. The idea of the bargain is you're allowed a normal life in town, but any ability practice stuff or experiments are to take place in the facility. They can't stop you from doing whatever you want in private, but if you try to get freezers they'll know what you're up to. The best you can hope for is the fridge in your house, and one of those large floor freezers you might find in a garage, that could fit a body or two. You suppose you could use the garage for experimenting purposes though, on a small scale. It's bigger than your garage in Vesas after all.
>>
>>446054
>Your handlers ask if you want the protestors removed.

Tell them no, that would make it seem like their opinions matter to me. Spend the rest of the day (it happened on the weekend, and you came to work on your spider form) getting tweets from base friends, friends from college, and random people you've never met before.

Ask to meet with the US Diplomat to China, in order to better understand how much synthetic ivory you'll need to make in order to put a dent in the illegal ivory trade, the possible risks and benefits of doing so, and what the US government thinks about the whole idea of trading synthetic ivory to China for better relations with their government.

Also, request various clams and mollusks for you to assimilate, in order to start producing pearls.

Work on helping Chuck Tingle make an erotic Blobgirl Amazon novel. Tell him a bit about what it is like being able to go completely boneless and able to flow over your lover like massage oil.

Ask what the most mass you're allowed to have off base for personal use.

Lastly, see about getting a retractable stripper pole installed in your bedroom, another little surprise for Jeff.
>>
>>446122
You let it be known that you don't care about the protestors. It's at least a little annoying though, as you were supposed to be moving to town for freedom and privacy, but it feels little different from the base, with people constantly outside.

Anyway, how active do you want to be on chitter, and what sort of online attitude/persona (if any) do you want to have? Speaking of online activity, you collaborate with Chuck on his raunchy book. It's a little embarassing to talk about and imagine, as well as answer his questions, since when it comes to your powers, you haven't yet really tried using them in the bedroom. With Jeff, or anyone for that matter. It does give you some possible ideas though to maybe try out, if you feel like it.

On a more external focus, you seek to meet with a Chinese diplomat, and figure that whole situation out. While it appears that your efforts to supply both elephant and tiger products to the region are well-received, it is not all that noted on a government level so not that useful for fostering relations between the countries. Also, it seems to have had somewhat of an opposite intended effect, that because you're able to better supply the market with these rare products, their availability, use, and demand has skyrocketed. So far it hasn't really led to increased poaching of the actual animals, but only for as long as you keep up the current supply. It's a shame because with the shift in focus of the research and your less time on-base, you almost certainly won't be able to keep up production. While in the same vein of animal products though you request clams and other shelled animals for pearl making. This has obvious monetary returns, but perhaps more interesting is the shell structures themselves, and how you might be able to alter and create them.

When you ask your handlers about mass off-base, they really don't want you having pretty much any at all. The arrangement was that off-base you keep to your normal Sarah form and try to refrain from using your powers, unless in private in which case they don't care. They understand though if overtime you happen to unintentionally bring some mass off base with you without realizing, and shed it at home. And of course the small amount of mass you gain just by eating normally. Beyond that though, you don't think they'd be happy with the idea of having a freezer full of your mass at home. Not like they'd ever find out, but you should probably be careful about how you handle things.

Lastly you think of maybe getting a stripper pole in the house. You don't think Jeff is the kind of guy who would like that though, at least not this early in the relationship. Also you're not sure you want to bring that part of your past into your life now, or for Jeff to know about it. You can't imagine it appealing to him, if while your relationship was just starting, you ran off to Yew Nork to be a stripper and crime boss. Let alone your activities in Vesas.
>>
>>446190
All right then, tell them to hold off on the pole.

Next on the list, how many more months (in replies) would it be for the brass to finally agree to placing Irene's new liver in her, and how long the surrogate bodies have before the babies are ready.

Next regarding Chitter, keep replies to those you've invited, and as for your persona, just try not to be an ass, and be relatively nice, talk about wildlife conservation quite a bit (we went to college for environmental studies) and avoid politics like it was one of your ever growing cancer masses.

For the synthetic ivory, stay on base for three or four days to keep your ivory quota on track. You feel lousy over the fact that you've basically helped doom an entire species to extinction...

Finally, JEFF'S BACK TO VISIT! You dress up yourself and your five copies in your nicest pink lacy lingerie, tell your handlers to keep the protesters away for just one night, wait for him to arrive at your pad, then when you hear the doorbell, you and your copies head to the door, open it...

And immediately slam it shut again, because he decided to surprise you too, by bringing your old college friends (Marie Chancer, Becky Thait, Mitchel McAvoy, and Byron Schad) to visit! How nice!

Anyway, after reforming, getting over the embarrassment, and spending time with the old gang, asking what they've been doing, what's been going on with you, showing the tame stuff in your bag of tricks, that sort of thing. You promise to show them around the town tomorrow, and wave them off when they leave.

And then you give Jeff his surprise, a night with five of you.
>>
>>446290

>>446290
For Irene it will take several more months if you want to interface with her. However if you want to just make an organ specialized for her biology, and have them give it to her via a normal surgery operation, that cna be done as soon as you make the organ. The surrogacies meanwhile have less than two months left, about.

While on the base you feel bad about how your efforts might have impacted the black market trade, and so devote your body to meeting the quota. So while the majority of your mass basically churns out rare animal products, you attached to it use a computer to see to your online persona. You try to keep things nice and civil, despite a lot of attention including some negative. Understandably your handlers monitor your activity, so there's not a risk of you accidentally leaking information. You speak to your devotion to environmentalism and conservation though, and about how you devote your body to it, which generates a lot of admiration and positive reaction.

A couple weeks later and Jeff has taken care of what he needed to, returning to live with you full time. In preparation and with a lot of practice, you separate into five copies of yourself. You have to split your mind among them, but it's not too many copies that they're all just instinct and impulse, but it's enough that they are pretty simple in their focus and personality. They boil down to

>Confident Sarah
>Shy Sarah
>Goofy Sarah
>Happy Sarah
>Angry Sarah

Though they are united in their feelings for Jeff. Everything seems perfect and in place, when you all answer the door to find Jeff brought company. It's pretty embarrassing, but they're definitely more shocked than you are. After getting over the initial strangeness though, you settle in with your friends and have a great time, and you really appreciate the effort Jeff went to bring them all here, considering they're your friends not his. It's a pretty great time, punctuated with some entertainment on your part about what you can do with your abilities. You're not that comfortable with it though because it's the first time Jeff has really seen that side of you, so you feel pressured into it. At any rate though you have fun and eventually see everyone off, a little worried about Jeff's reaction once your friends are gone. He gives you a big hug though and tells you he thinks it's really cool what you did and brave of you to be that honest and open with strangers to your powers, and that he's proud of you for it. You're reminded of how much you missed him, and decide you want to be more personal with him for now. You can blow his mind later with five of you together, but for now you'd just like to be alone with him. Later on as the two of you move to the bedroom, you ask again if he's alright with experimenting with your body, and not using protection. He says he wasn't going to ask and just see what happened.

>Item gained, Jeff Miller - A +1 boyfriend, now living with you full-time.

Also

>tfw this was supposed to be a big "What do?" if you got superpowers, and quickly became a path into villainy, but turned into the nice and happy life of Sarah the helpful blobgirl
>>
>>446415
>He says he wasn't going to ask and just see what happened.

Yay!

Oh, he meant experimenting with our body as in just normal experiments, not sexual experiments.

Darn.

Anyway, let's give the go ahead and give Irene her custom alcohol-proof liver, renting a local hospital's surgical theater. Have the brass nearby to watch the surgery so you can explain what's happening, and record it so that you can both review the surgery in detail, and so the handlers can have footage they could disseminate to the press when they feel the news is appropriate to release. After the surgery and the required period of healing, begin testing her liver, starting with the strictly clinical lab tests of introducing alcohol intravenously, all the way down to basically bringing her to the base's flyboy bar and having her down five bottles of Jeremiah Weed, a bottle of moonshine, three bottles of Cactus Jack tequila, numerous bottles of beer, and a bottle of Everclear straight up. This last "test" definitely got a talking to from brass, but you and the research team still got a windfall from bets made by the less informed pilots.

Anyway, after all that, begin making both pearls and clamshell armor. The clamshell armor basically is pieces of armor that consists of torso, upper and lower arms, and upper and lower legs. Each piece has a hinged joint which covers the area and closes with metal clasps that are attached after you finish forming the suit. When we've finished developing the first batch, try to get some Army boys to test out the mobility and durability.

>>446425

Yay!

He's brought his Lord of the Rings Aragorn costume, right? Considering we've got some nice dresses, and the shape-shifting, we could come up with a pretty good Arwen...
>>
Did some more idea thinkin' while you were in the ether. Sorry for the mass of text.

Schedule a meeting with your handlers regarding if you could gain a truly enormous amount of mass. Like, about 200 tons, possibly more, depending on variables. You plan on increasing production of synthetic ivory, armor, and pearls to an unprecedented level, basically churning it out four days a week in 8 hour workshifts in order to flood the ivory market with your synthetic ivory. You tell them that the planned 200+ ton mass (now designated Worker) is going to be separate from your other mass (now designated Thinker), as your original mass would be meant for experimentation, prototype work, and general "being a giantess" stuff. While you will begin to work with the Worker mass to sort out the kinks, you have made progress in separating your consciousness in two bodies. The hope for your Worker mass is to try to insert a very basic sentience into it, enough for it to sit still, be fed by workers, and produce ivory, armor, and pearl. To help reduce the cost to the government in getting the mass required, you plan on working on raising money for the Biomass required with preservation societies, like the Wildlife Conservation Society, PETA, and other organizations that prioritize animal conservation. Further donations could be gained by individual donors who are interested in protecting animals, and that biodegradable waste can be used to further offset the cost.

Meanwhile, enjoy a few days with our old college friends, introduce them to our base friends, watch Irene and Byron somehow strike up an interest in each other (Byron is also sort of odd, but in a more gregarious sort of way), then head to the local arcade and have some fun.

Spend some time doing a FMQ about us and our abilities on Spasm.tv. Talk about our interests, what our job is (Material Fabrication Technician and Biomass Experimentation Scientist), and just some of our opinions. Try to keep away from politics, and focus hard on conservation, trying to make things better in the world, and being an all around pleasant person in a messy world.
>>
>>446530
There's no need for going to a hospital, they can perform surgury in the facility. At any rate though you create the organ for Irene and she gets the operation. It'll be awhile before she's fully healed and ready to test it out, but you're confident it will work.

On the matter of shell armor though, you don't actually have to make it clam shaped. You can synthesize armor in the right shape but still made of the material. Even in your first attempts it proves to be very hard.

>>446557
Well he's a bit of a nerd but he doesn't have any such costume on hand. Besides, he says he doesn't want to be with Arwen, he wants to be with you.

>>446844
The main problem and concern with this is, do you actually want to let them know that you can split your conciousness between your bodies? Since you've only done it in private they aren't aware, but if they do find out, it will determine their stance on the matter.

Also, if you do get that massive, you will have to choose the next level of power, either Titan or Mother Nature. Before you might have been all for it, but now that your life is a little more normal and you're in a relationship, you're reluctant since one choice would make a relationship virtually impossible and the other would make it extremely difficult and unfair for Jeff to accept. Then again if you're just seeking power and still have villainous intent in mind, such worries wouldn't really bother you.

Either way you spend a few days with your friends in town, both new and old. You can't bring your college friends to the facility, but otherwise you guys have a great time. You notice in particular a researcher named Byron has taken a liking (you think) to Irene in having to take care of her while she heals. Although she's never been the most social, she doesn't repudiate his interest.

Lastly in some free time to yourself when you have it, you do the occasional live streams of you taking and answering questions and stuff. Your handlers don't like it, but it generates a lot of positive response for you and the project. You talk about yourself when you can, answer interested viewers the rest of the time, and always try to remain nice and grounded. The general sentiment is that people are impressed how well you coped with such a huge life change as your powers, and there is a lot of respect that you devoted your powers to noble efforts such as improving healthcare and environmentalism. You give a lot of hope and inspiration to people, that the first recorded truly supernatural person, is a good one and devotes her time and effort to the cause of good as well.

Also, on another note,

>The thread is getting pretty far along in pages. Would anyone be interested if it continued in another thread?
>I also had a possible idea, that I'd have a second thread running concurrent to that, about a designated hero character in the same situation, suddenly gaining powers in a generally powerless setting. If Sarah is at least supposed to be the villain, this other person would be the supposed hero, though of course it could go in any direction.

>you're reluctant since one choice would make a relationship virtually impossible and the other would make it extremely difficult and unfair for Jeff to accept.

I'm assuming that the Titan one would be the one that is basically impossible, but how would Mother Nature make it difficult with having a relationship? That's mainly based off of shapeshifting and absorbing mass. Could you explain a bit about how it would strain the relationship?

Anyway, don't do the meeting then. Just write out the basic plans for it, and save it in a folder for later.

After that, ask about staying mainly on base for now, as the lack of access to our mass is a bit annoying for you, especially as it requires you to leave it at the base when you wish to do large scale experimentation in your free time.

After that, let's finally see the surrogate project end, and start looking at the results.

Other then that, head over to check out the college Jeff transferred to, and get to meet his parents, who just arrived a few days ago to meet you (and check out what they were going to be paying for in terms of education).

Finally, you start to realize that you've actually have fans of your live streams, which is kind of weird. Still, kind of nice being an inspiration.

>>447509
I dunno, it's up to you, but I'm kinda wondering if we're the only people here now.

Also, fuck you, captcha, there ain't no goddamn billboard here, you dick.

Oh, yeah, about

Neither form would be able to reduce in mass or size. You're right that the Titan form would basically be impossible for a relationship, or at least an intimate one. Mother Nature form would be that generally amorphous, shape shifting mass. You could make an extension of yourself to be normal Sarah body in size and appearance but it would still be attached to the huge biomass. As you are now, you can still separate from your mass to your normal human body, at that power you wouldn't be able to separate. So you could still have a relationship, even an intimate one, but Jeff would have to be ok with and accept that he'd be interacting with a small part of you altered to resemble the normal Sarah you used to be. Or used to have been, since you aren't at that point yet.

Either way you defer the situation for now, and move back onto the base. If you want Jeff can accompany you, back to living in the mobile home. During this time you see the surrogate program reach completion, as the babies are taken from the surrogate bodies and given to their parents, though under careful study and surveillance. So far it looks to have gone successfully, the babies are perfectly healthy and normal as far as research indicates, making a success. You can't help but feel a little proud.

On personal matters, you accompany Jeff to the college he transferred to. Although he did choose to take a year off to be with you full-time, you're curious to see the kind of place he'll be attending when that time comes. You also want to meet his parents, but he says he had a falling out with them and they don't want to meet you, and they don't support your relationship. He says give it time and they'll come around, for now they're worried and angry about everything that's gone on with you and don't think he should be there for all of it. You suppose you can understand, though it's a shame that your parents don't have any problem with the relationship, by comparison. You're also surprised by the following you've gathered with your online persona and streams, and you like to imagine it's all to do with the positive reaction to your efforts, but you can't help but feel a good few are your fans just for you rather than your efforts. In any case, if it means you reach more people and your situation is better understood, then you're just happy with that.

>>447568
I figured it was just you and me or just me and that other guy for stretches of time, because the thread is both in auto-sage and also at page 7 now. A new thread would probably have more people to be active and play.
>>
>>447628
You do that in response, strangely feeling safe and secure as he puts his arms around you as well and holds you close, despite the fact that you're easily the single most dangerous thing alive or to ever have lived. It seems for all the changes to your physical body, your heart and feelings remain the same.
>>
>>447633
>A new thread would probably have more people to be active and play.

Fair enough, although I think you should make your next thread starting with a new character, so it doesn't go full mood whiplash. As for this one, maybe let it run for one more day, then let the door close on Sarah's life.

>For the story stuff

Find out that Jessica got engaged, and that you're invited to the wedding and enevitable bachelorette party. Congratulate her, and agree to be the Maid of Honor.

Request the brass allow you to loosen the restriction for keeping mass on base for one day, use that one day to lounge with your college friends in the Grand Chasm's river in giantess form, having one last day together.

Send off your friends back home, hugging them and telling them to keep in touch.

Work on the Clam armor some more, this time attaching each piece together with flexible leather strong enough to stop a bullet.

Try out that blobgirl as massage oil idea Chuck put in your head on Jeff, see how well it goes down. If so, that's going in there so much.

Later, talk to Jeff about helping with his college tuition, saying that if his parents aren't going to spring for it, you'll try to put money down for it, since it was your idea in the first place to have him continue his education.

Next, request the newest research files for the large tumor mass that had been steadily growing in the labs the last time you saw it.

Finally, work some of your cartilage armor magic for some lower body protection, and see if you can get brass to allow you to sell it to security companies and friendly nations overseas.
>>
All right, I'm gonna hit the sack soon after your next post, OP. Thanks for sticking with this for so long, I've been having a blast with this SuperDrama/Slice o' Life/Rom-Com quest.
>>
>>447721
That's a good point, it would seem weird if Sarah suddenly turned evil after all this positive change and attacked the world. The only thing is, since the setting is without powers, she's already such an important part of it, both as the first person to get powers and also for all the work she does and how public she is.

>>447721
Jessica is getting married! It was rather sudden to be honest, but you're happy for her and would love to be there for her on her big day.

More immediately though you request to be able to take some of your mass out for a drive so to speak, and spend the day as giant Sarah with your friends at the Grand Chasm and river. It's a nice easy day togethr, and feels great for you, to be able to relax around people while expressing your powers. You can always try to be normal as normal Sarah, but to feel normal like this is surprisingly wonderful. You'll definitely miss your friends, and when the time comes for them to leave, you see them off with similar gifts as to your parents when they visited, and as well hope to see them again.

On more personal matters, you talk with Jeff about college, when he eventually will start back up again. It's actually a pretty good position to be in with the program though, as they handle all living expenses, including Jeff's tuition. You weren't aware before but are surprised and happy to find out. It's nice to know that not just you, but your relationship is supported by your handlers. On very personal matters, you try to use your powers during intimacy with Jeff, taking ideas from Chuck and his book. Even boneless you aren't really able to reach the consistency of oil and flow across his body, but you are able to get globby enough to sort of surround his body in parts and immerse it in yourself, like a slime. Only, made of your flesh. It's a really weird experience for the both of you, and a learning one at that, but it's enjoyable and brings you closer (apart from the inital freakiness of it).

On work matters, you try to learn about and get access to the cancerous mass, but are denied. Not by your handlers mind, but by the research team. They say after the experimenting they've done with it and the research conducted, it's above your clearance level since your ability to assist with it is minimal. To be fair, your education was only a BA and your profession skills go as far as waitress, so you would probably be getting in the way of the biochemists and the like. You also continue development of the advanced cartilage armor, to cover the full body, but aren't permitted to sell it since it's government property, though they do take into account your wishes for it to go to security companies and allies. They inform you that will probably be the case with previous models of armor you made at least, as the current models you make get better. If you want money though you only need to ask.
>>
>>447721
Also finally, Stage 2 of testing with Irene completes, as well as the situation with her altered liver, which goes down as described here >>446530 to various reactions from the research team and your handlers.

Given the success so far, you are given the approval to go about directly interfacing with and altering her, if you so (still) wish.

>>447744
No problem, thanks for playing, you and everyone. I had fun running it, even if things went radically different from what I'd expected. I don't mind though, it fulfilled the purpose of a "What do?", in relation to superpowers. At least some people, if in Sarah's position, would have ended up going down the villainous path of biomass absorption and manipulation, to later reform and become good by submitting to but cooperating with the government. It was an interesting possible course of action.

>>447756
One other thing I forgot to add to the first part about Sarah in relation to this thread and possible others, given her importance to the setting.

Imagine say, the next character actually legitimately turned evil and became a supervillain threatening the world. It's only reasonable that Sarah, even if her story was concluded, would get involved as she's a part of the setting.
>>
>>447756
>The only thing is, since the setting is without powers, she's already such an important part of it, both as the first person to get powers and also for all the work she does and how public she is.

Well, in that case, you can just do what DC Comics does: Claim that the setting we're in is a different version of Earth, AKA The Infinite Earths multiverse. For example, consider the reality of our non-superhero filled, depressing Earth: This is your Earth Prime. The story of Sarah is set in an alternate Earth called Earth Blobgirl, where things are similar to how they developed on Earth Prime, but with slight alterations in things. You've been doing that already, changing The Grand Canyon to The Grand Chasm, Arizona to Arisona, and Donald Trump to Ronald Crump. Basically, everything's mostly the same, but with slight alterations to names and one unusual catch.

It's confusing as all get out, yes, but the best part about it is: That's how comic book publishers would do it.

Anyway, I seriously need to sleep. Hope to see you around!
>>
Urg, mornin'. Did you sleep well?

Talk to Jeff about him working with the US Army Corps of Engineers as a volunteer to gain practical work experience, so he could pad out his future resume, have him feel like he's doing something to help people, and have something to do other than hang around base all day waiting for you. If he's OK with it, bring it up to your handlers.

Buy a car. You've had this rental Toyoda Camry for a while now, and you're pretty sure you'll be living in Arisona for a good few years at least, might as well take the time to buy one, now that money's a non issue.

Take a look at how the adopted babies are doing, and stop by one of the adoptive families directly. Spend some time talking to the parents about how things have been, and play a bit with the little one. As you're heading home, think about possibly doing another batch, this time using your powers to be the surrogate. Nix this plan immediately the next morning after you have a dream about being the proud parents to twenty of them, and the babies immediately going after staff trying to absorb them.

Keep developing clamshell armor. It's a much more time intensive process, requiring measuring all of the armor testers for proper fitting, but the defensive results are even better then our best cartilage braid armor, at least in the chest, arms, and legs. You still need to get the joints tougher...

Try working with your pearl production abilities, in particular, making a necklace of them strung together with some thread-like sinew you made. Wear it out on the town on your girls night out.

Finally, give the go ahead on altering a willing subject, Irene. Hug her before the trial, and tell her no matter what, you still consider her a good friend. For her alterations, give her membranes for her eyes to keep out dust and sand, the ability to heal quicker then baseline humans, denser bones, and the ability to oxygenate and partially feed herself using photosynthesis. And some more cleavage, as something nice for her and Byron. When she gets out, stay with her during her recovery time until she fully acclimated to her new form.
>>
OP, when does the villain show up?
>>
>>448327
Well, technically, we're the only person with superpowers in the world, but you've given me an idea. Give me fifteen to thirty minutes, OK?
>>
>>448327
For awhile it looked like it was going to be Sarah (you). Now, not so much.
>>
>>448053
Well Jeff's original idea was that he wouldn't be just waiting at home for you all day, he wanted to be present with you to always be able to help. You think he means in the way Irene is helping, even if he doesn't understand the full extent of that. Still, you ask about him getting work, and your handlers say they'll see if they can find something for him. Also you buy a car together, to be able to get around town better or go places if you want.

Elsewhere on base, you check up on the surrogate babies, and all still goes well. The parents in particular are happy, and nothing seems awry to them. You also take the chance to play with one of them, and pick up a small case of baby rabies, feeling that you'd love to have one of your own. Those feelings are quickly dispelled though when you have nightmares about what could happen if you tried.

In work related matters, you continue developing shell armor, an encounter some difficulties with the flexibility. However as just plate inserts to body armor, they perform phenomenally well. Lastly you try making not just a pearl, but an entire pearl necklace. It takes several attempts but you do manage a pearl bracelet at least, that you start to wear.

Lastly is Irene's alteration, and she reciprocates your hug and expressed feelings to her in her own way. No one is really sure how you're going to go about it though so you're just given a standard operating room. For ease of the process, you end up having her remove her clothes from the waist up as you do the same, and then sit together, your exposed front to her exposed back. More than anything you try to exercise caution since you don't want to accidentally absorb her, but slowly you fuse to her body by your torso and begin acclimating yourself to her biology, joining your internal systems (circulatory, neural) to hers. She says it feels incredibly weird and uncomfortable but she keeps calm with you assuring her and giving her support, letting her know that this is a new and weird experience for you too. After awhile you feel you've integrated yourself to her body well enough that hers feels like a part of your own, and you can start to change it as you would your own, without hurting her or accidentally abosrbing her. When you start to shift her biology she panicks a little at first, more so when she realizes how completely your bodies are attached, but talking to her and trying to calm her down again you both take a breather and allow the tension to pass.

After that, it's pretty straightforward. Slower than you would yourself since you're used to it, you change her body to attain the modifications you'd planned; membraned eyes, increased healing and stronger bone structure, and increased metabolism for more efficiency (since photosynthesis isn't something you're capable of). You also expand her chest size which comes as a bit of a rude surprise to her, but manages to laugh it off in talking about having to buy new bras all over again.
>>
After a week or two of recovery, Irene's set for testing her new abilities. You have her show them off in front of your handlers.

A week or so later, you head back to your warehouse home/blob storage thing after a long day of ingesting crabs to make crab armor and spiders and silkworms to start producing silk, only to be surprised by your friends and fellow researchers, as well as a large portion of pilots from the alcohol testing and solders from armor testing, throwing you a surprise birthday party. Even your main handler is there, looking at his most casual, which in this case is wearing a keyboard tie with his typical black suit. You have a great time with everyone, as they even sprung for a local band to play for the party.

After the party peters down, you spend a lovely time with Jeff and your copies, but by the time all of your copies are satisfied, Jeff's practically dead from the exertion. Thankfully it's the weekend, so you just let him rest for a while, you in bed with him.
>>
>>448480
So at the end of things you finish up what you'd planned with Irene, and begin the slow process of separating yourself from her body, unwinding all your internals off hers and withrdrawing your biology from her. Eventually you manage to pull apart from her with a sticky shlorping sound as the skin of your torso separates from the skin of her back, but other than some sticky residue left over on the both of you, it looks like you accomplished the procedure. You intend to stay with Irene after the process as she gets used to her new body, and her body gets used to its new makeup. However the improved healing you gave to her really does it's job, and she's up and about and healthy as can be within a couple hours. She thanks you with deep gratitude and tears in her eyes, and the whole research team cheers and applauds a job well done and an amazing leap forward for science. You can't help but feel a little good about yourself, after all the bad you did with simply absorbing people and ending their lives. For once you directly used your abilities to physically change someone's life, and it's a very small alleviation to the regular guilt.

>>448486
In time Irene tests out her new body, to much interest of your handlers, who are very impressed. Right away they ask you to further pursue this line of research if you can, since it's the most promising and most inline with what their hoped goals for the project are.

Some time later you're also met with a surprise party on behalf of everyone in the project, celebrating not just your birthday but also all the progress the project and most of all you have made. It's a really nice experience, because while you felt accepted among the facility as necessary for the project, you never really felt welcomed or appreciated by everyone, rather like you were a prized test subject and celebrated mascot but not really a person. This changes that though, and you start to feel you really made the right choice giving up your villainous ways and bringing yourself under control.

Lastly to treat yourself and Jeff for your birthday, you spend the weekend with him as your five copies, back at home since you might be making some noise. You have fun yourself and it's as enjoyable for him as it is for you, since he gets to spend time with all of you all with a focus of loving him in mind. You've given him an experience no man in history may have ever had, a sixsome with quintuplets, and he'll never forget the experience of laying in bed with the five of you. To say he loved you before was an understatement, but now he's seriously thinking about putting a ring on it. It's a little hard to think though when being that exhausted from... activity.

>So, looks like your life is at a high point now, thanks to your actions. You find it hard to imagine it getting any better, but who knows? You can continue to make choices, but we're at page 8 so feel free to start winding down and move towards a conclusion.
>>
>>448545
>move towards a conclusion

Unless of course as said before, there's any interest in continuing with Sarah to a next thread. Otherwise, the focus will just shift to another person.
>>
>>448545
>>448548
Just another post or two. It'll take me a while, but it'll be good. It involves that cancer mass from a while ago, you see...
>>
A few weeks later, you've been allowed to fly back home to Illanois to spend time with your family, when you get an urgent call from your handlers. They tell you to head immediately to a local meat processing plant for cows, go inside, absorb all of the cows inside, as well as a massive amount of medical waste and biodegradable garbage that will be delivered to the site, and not to worry about people watching you. You press hard for details on what happened; your handler wouldn't just up and tell you to consume a bunch of animals for no reason, it'd terrify the hell out of people. After a tense few seconds, he tells you.

It's your cancer mass. It's broken containment.

You drive down the highway at a speed that would get you pulled over if you weren't being flanked by a fleet of patrol cars, blaring sirens and flashing red and blue. You told them that you wanted ALL of them destroyed. YOU TOLD THEM TO THEIR FACES. The only thing keeping you from having a swearing fit is the fact that you're frankly terrified of this. You thank whatever's out there that Jeff came with you to try to talk to his parents. He'll be safe for now.

You arrive at the meatpacker's plant, and immediately begin absorbing cattle as soon as the doors are shut. After absorbing them all, you've gained 30 tons, and that's around the time that a fleet of Mack trucks start delivering the medical waste and garbage. You continue absorbing, finishing up about six hours later. You still have work to do, though, as the Cancer Mass has taken your previous Biomass and absorbed it. It then leaves the base, headed in a straight line.

It's trying to find you. You know it, deep down.
>>
You know that it knows where you are. You're not going to be able to hide from it. It seems singleminded in it's attempt to reach you.

And that's what gives you an idea.

You head north. Up into Canava. To Manibova. It still follows, even as the cold bites into it. The problem is, it gets to you too, freezing you to the core, making you ache with each degree dropped lower. It still follows. You continue on, a death march to the frozen north, to save what good you've done.

You've reached Fort Boss when you know you can't go much further. It's a desperate attempt to even go a few more miles. You're freezing, exhausted, and just out of gas. You fall over, face down in the tundra. Desperately hoping that it'll still follow you, you slowly go numb.

And then you see it.

It's like you, but only if you were made of spite and anger as well as biomass. Pulsating. Oozing. Coming.

Freezing.

It's still not enough though, as it reaches you. Looming above you. Looking like all of your sins that you've committed in your life. And then it starts to absorb you.

You feel pain, of assimilation. Is this what you did to that escort? Is this the fear that your boss felt before she died? No wonder this is happening to you. It's dramatic irony.

But still, you know that it's winding down. If the cold's doing it to you, it's certainly doing it to the mass. It's slower then your normal process. You can feel the cold in it.

It's almost to your neck now. The cold's going to kill it, you only wish you'd remain you before it gets you.

You think about what you did, the good and the bad, the friends you made, the fun times had.

Jeff.

You miss him. You love him.

He's the last thing you think of when you and the mass both freeze.
>>
(Six months later)

You wake up in a warehouse. You feel like shit.

You're in your blob shape, much smaller then usual. You attempt to reform into a giant woman, and manage about 25 feet tall. After freezing yourself pretty much to death, morphing yourself is like moving your muscles when a full body cast comes off, sore as all get out.

The warehouse door opens. You turn around.

It's your parents. Mom and Dad, even your older brother too.

And there's Jeff.

He comes over sprinting, your family not far behind, slamming into you at speed to hug you like they're afraid you'd vanish if they'd release you. You can feel their tears on your skin, their warmth on you.

You bend over and pick Jeff up in your hands, look him straight in the eyes and kiss him as deeply and passionately as you ever could. And then you tell him that you love him, and propose.

He agrees.

>All that bullshit I just posted.

Goddamn, I feel like an asshole. It's your quest, and I just filled it with the mushiest crap ever.

Anyway, yeah. There's what I got. Sorry it took so long. And sucked.
>>
>>448787
>>448729
>>448657
I don't mind, it's a better conclusion than I could have written! I think it's a nice wrap-up, different than I would have done but nice nonetheless. Besides, early in the thread I was considering letting players if they wanted to, adopt sort of an NPC persona if they wanted to come in to interact or antagonize the main character as a villain or hero or whatever. So that would have had players driving the plot as well.

At any rate I think it's a fine conclusion. The only question is at the end of the day, as everyone lives happily ever after, how was it that the cancer mass got out in the first place?

>So laughs Irene to herself as she practices absorbing a fly with her hand with the abilities she very slowly developed during your absence and left unchecked by you. This is all of course, after she sees you regain conciousness again, expressing how happy she is to see you and how worried she was, how much she missed you.

As for the next thread, I'll probably make it in a couple hours then.
>>
>>448820
>OP likes my conclusion

Shit, man, much appreciated. Sometimes I just find the urge to write like that. Never thought I was that good, though.

Anyways, I was going under the idea that the Cancer mass had sentence and a malevolent sort of intelligence. I figure once it grew large enough to split it's mass it took the shape of a scientist and got the staff to open the door to free the guy, and then they got et once the door was open by the scientist blob part.

Anyway how about an epilogue, like two years later with Sarah married, still experimenting with both her mass and what it produces, and expecting a blobgirl herself?
>>
>>448820
Oh, yeah, what was your idea for the original conclusion going to be? You've got me interested now.
>>
>>448929
I wouldn't fast forward that much I think. Also she wouldn't be expecting a blob girl. At least not a first time.

>>448959
I don't know, I probably would have had her complete service to the government and then move someplace quieter with Jeff to live, until occasionally asked for help with something. Basically just have her go to a nice cabin in the wilderness of Washington or Alaska, where they can live private and do as they please, Sarah getting to experiment with her powers if she wants to without someone breathing over her shoulder. And maybe once in awhile a science team would want to try something.
>>
Anyway I'll make the next thread here pretty soon now, will backlink as well.
>>
>>449443
All right, I just came back from a family dinner. Link it here so I can see it.
