A couple of days after the first pictures, she starts sending back photos that look like they were done in a studio- Myra explains that getting her illusions to show up in photos is tricky but a skill well worth practicing. Each of the photos is a different 'path of beauty'. The differences are subtle, and all of the faces still seem recognizable, like his face, to Alex, but this one emphasizes 'cool' with a slightly bigger forehead and pointier chin, and this one emphasizes 'cute' with the rounder face and wide eyes, and this one is more of a 'California valley girl' type of thing... And so on.
Alex thinks it's very cool that she can get her to show up in photos after they were taken, and eventually settles on a face design that's mostly cute but with some hints of sexy.
Myra likes food in pretty full generality. She is a little bit of a cooking and baking nerd, talking about different regional varietals and taste combinations and so on. She promises a cake sampler, for next visit.
Alex would be happy to listen to (well read) Myra infodump on food for as long she'd enjoy it, and also admits that his own tastes are kind of boring, with the only foods he actively enjoys being pizza and various kinds of sweets, with the list of foods he can tolerate eating to try and be healthy being a bit less limited (none of which uses meat, and is almost entirely stuff that it's easy to prepare or doesn't take much effort to cook.) He's also looking forward to trying her cake!
She likes most types of music at least a bit, though rock is some of her favorite. Green Day, Rise Against, Metallica, John Lennon and Aerosmith. Evanescence.
Over the course of several days Alex binges all of those artists songs, mentioning as he goes which ones he particularly enjoyed as he goes and thanks her for mentioning them when he's done. Also at different points, he mentions various other songs he likes, which ranges through a wide variety of genres at times but is primarily video game and anime soundtracks.
She doesn't find herself with a lot of time to read or play games, and she usually goes for porny ones when she does.
Alex thinks it's unfortunate but understandable that she wouldn't have much time for reading or games as they're some of his favorite activities, and asks if out of the porny ones, she'd know any particularly fun ones?
She will definitely keep his list in mind. She would really appreciate being able to casually touch him next time she's there in person without worrying too much about it feeling awkward, <3.
Alex is glad she'd also appreciate it!
How does he feel about 'transformations' that are actually just illusions and go away when she stops focusing on them?
Those sound fun as long as focusing on maintaining the illusions wouldn't be too distracting for her to enjoy it or sex at the same time? Alex also includes a qualifier that making him look prettier then he actually is would potentially be bad for him after the illusions end, but that just making him look like a girl wouldn't or at least after she's actually transformed his face.
He's also happy to discuss whether any other specific things would fall in the "definitely okay" or "better not for now" categories. Which leads to him mentioning that illusioning him to have breasts/for them to be bigger would be fine but he'd rather wait until he has at least small ones permanently before trying any illusions like that. And that he'd also want to wait on illusioning him to have a pussy until after he has enough essence saved up that he could immediately get it done for real if the illusion ended up making him want it much more.
As for bondage... Myra moderately prefers being the one tied up, but can certainly do the other way too. They can start easy with ropes (and lessons on how to properly use them without hurting your partner), or handcuffs, or perhaps a 'magical curse' (a mental tick that Myra would put on herself) that prevents her from moving to escape Alex's manhandling grasp. She has a fondness for stockades, or being 'stuck in a wall' with her arms pinned and helpless to resist whatever someone wants to do to either end~
Alex thinks those all sound fun to try (including doing them to her and being on the receiving end at times) and that the stockade/stuck in a wall examples are particularly hot.
