Sable strolls into her apartment after another day of university classes, closing and locking the door behind her.
"I'm home!"
She kicks her boots off into the shoe rack, hangs up her coat, and heads for the couch.
She laughs light and bright, a hand sliding up to tuck a bit of her hair behind her ear.
"The app really is looking to be a shameless flirt, isn't it?"
"Sense of Suffering is just a great sadist skill boost, with the added sense. The next three, though."
Her jaw drops.
"Magic transition get???"
"None at all! Don't think we should - expect to be in such a rush that we need to prioritize things in a way that makes you uncomfortable and I know that getting a proper body has been... a big dream of yours. Though should probably look through them all first, still, just in case."
She nods and keeps tapping. "The hearts ones seem to be nice comforts for the most part, except for the soul pair which are excellent mental health perks. Those should probably be soon."
She opens the coins perks.
Then her jaw drops.
"Fuck. Those are important."
She immediately buys Moment of Kindness and Stalwart Shelters.
A little filgree as if of gold leaf appears around Stalwart Shelters, making it shine a little in place, before sliding down to a new 'purchased perks' section.
Someone who drank too much was found and rushed to a hospital before it was too late. They'll recover, and find a way to stay safe and sober.
Is scribbled beneath the Moment of Kindness, before being tucked away in another little spoiler.
"Fuck indeed. Just... looking at the words on the screen isn't the most convincing, deep down, but academically I do actually believe it, somehow? It's... weird."
She shakes her head a little.
"Given what it was already able to do to us, I'm inclined to give it a little credit."
She shakes her head for a moment. "Right. First, let's get the voice perk, and then double-check the quests again."
She buys Vibrant Voice for herself.
There's a little ripple in her throat as her adam's apple disappears, the perk gets gilded, and a little bit of intuition fills her mind, of how to stretch her voice up and down, and how to carry a note, amongst other flitting fluttering thoughts and ideas.
She hums a few tentative bars, then sings the first few lines of Paramore's "Brick by Boring Brick."
"She lives in a fairy tale,
Somewhere too far for us to fine.
For goddamn the taste and sme~ell
Of a world that she's left behind."
And then she just freezes.
Her voice sounds sharp and smooth and a bit smoky, undeniably feminine and sexy, like she's always heard it in her head.
"Holy fuck."
She feels her head snap to at attention a little, before her shoulders just slide down a little, easing in to listen, a little tremble running through her spine.
"...Goodness."
Her cheeks dimple up in a smile.
"That was gorgeous, Hailey."
As she sings, she can feel a way that she can do something almost like but not quite akin to projecting her voice, a little extra slide and slip of her voice that can make her voice hit just that bit more like her voice than should be possible, a pooling potential of sweet-hot honey pooling on her tongue.
She grabs that pool and leans into it, pouring it into her voice as she picks another song.
"I saw in you what life was missing.
You lit a flame that consumed my hate.
I'm not one for reminiscing but,
I'd trade it all for your sweet embrace."
Her voice pours out in a sultry croon, rolling through Romana's ears with a menacing allure.
"'Cause we lost everything,
We had to pay the price."
Every word murmurs a story of romance, melancholy, and tamed violence.
"There's a canvas with two faces,
Of fallen angels who loved and lost.
It was a passion for the ages,
And in the end guess we paid the cost."
And then, with a brief hum of the bridge, she melts into the chorus.
"A thing of beauty, I know,
Will never fade away.
What you did to me, I know,
Said what you had to say.
But a thing of beauty,"
She pauses for a beat, another, then her voice drops into a smoky whisper.
"Will never fade away."
She smirks at Romana as she lets the song fade.
You can see the little rush of goosebumps along her skin as she starts, the little way her flush reignites again, the tiny tremor in her throat and the little way her eyes flutter, her lips purse. Then her breath catches, and she can't help but lean in and smile shyly.
By the end of it, her nipples are stiffly poking through her shirt, and her eyes are darting down as a warm little grin dawns on her face, her chin tilted just down enough to start the suggestion of a bow.
"Gorgeous, gorgeous girl...~"
She cups Romana's cheek and pulls her into a soft kiss, then nips her lower lip lightly.
She kisses back softly and gently, still shiver-trembling a little, her eyes a little unfocused as she sighs and spills her cheek softly into her hand.
Then Hailey pulls Romana into her arms and holds her gently, stroking her back as she purrs in her ear, "Wanna hear something sinful I'd love to do to you, if the app decides to give me enough of a boost to your masochism?"
She murmur hums, just floating her eyes closed and arching into her touch.
"...cheater."
A few little shy noises spill out of her as she lets it all settle down a little, before a tiny little grin forms on her lips.
"Hit me~", she sighs out.
Her soft purr turns a bit menacing, the allure swirling through her voice. "I want to blur your pain into pleasure, heighten your sensitivity, and then take that phantom knife and cut filigree into those sexy tits of yours. I want to sink my knife into your breast and get lost in the sensation. I want you to come your brains out from how good my knife feels inside you.
"And then I want to vanish it all, leaving you with nothing but the memory of the bliss, your body pristine."
She blushes terribly, then just buries her head up against her shoulder. A little preening little sensual slip of a sigh sinks out of her lips, before she settles in softly, hugging in a little.
"It's cute how much you like blending the two. I don't think it's quite that you think that the two are incomplete without each other in sex, persay, but it does always sound like you like an excuse to just turn up all the dials there to eleven."
She snickers and kisses Romana's forehead, nodding. "Something like that."
Then she swipes back to the main screen to go look at the quests, hand combing through Romana's hair while her head rests on her shoulder.
