"I'll give you some business cards of people to bounce ideas off of. Do you have questions for me?"

Cassandra interrupts. "Mart, this is good fiber. Really good. Feel it!" Cassandra hands him a little patch. "And here's some raw wool from the Boston factory loading dock." Another one. "It's got great average length too. It'll be easy to work with."

"-Oh, yes, you can really tell the difference. Wow."

"None that immediately come to mind?"

When Cassandra interrupts, Alex bounces happily at hearing her wool be complimented, and says. "I'm glad it's high quality!"

"Well, let's get you the sample fee- A one-time payment for this wool for submittal to analysis and creation of test weaves that are not to be sold, with no ongoing obligations."

He hands over a small tan envelope.

"And if you'll give me a minute I can print up contacts for consulting on design. We do custom exclusives occasionally, and if it ends up making sense for your costume to be one of those I'm sure we can work something out."

"I've always been curious about super powers but I'm not sure what's intrusive to ask," Cassandra says.

Alex accepts the envelope and nods. "Thanks!"

And while waiting for Marten to print up contacts, she says to Cassandra. "You should feel free to ask whatever questions you like, and if any of them are too intrusive for me, I can just say that and decline to answer?"

"You have multiple forms? Did you design them? How long does it take to change? Can you blend them? Is your hair in this form made of wool? It doesn't look like it. Do you have different powers in different forms?"

You have multiple forms?  

Yep!

Did you design them? 

Nope! (well unless something erased my memory of doing so and I was operating under weird unknown constraints when designing them, but that's probably not the case)

How long does it take to change? 

A few seconds maybe?, I haven't tried timing it yet.

Can you blend them?

I think probably not, but I haven't specifically tested that yet!

 Is your hair in this form made of wool? It doesn't look like it. 

I don't think so? It doesn't feel woolly at least, but I haven't actually thought to check that.

Do you have different powers in different forms?

Yep!

Cassandra will continue peppering her with questions about how her power works and what cool things she can do with it.

Marten offers to let her pick out some of anything Redline makes from the warehouse downstairs.

And Alex will continue trying her best to answer Cassandra's questions until interrupted by Marten's offer, whereupon she accepts and goes to check out the things downstairs.

They make a lot of different stuff, all of it in a fairly distinct punky-gothy sort of style. There's hoodies and t-shirts and dresses and skirts and camis and tube tops and jeans and hats and jackets. Most of it's smooth and shiny. A lot of it has jagged punky logos on it, or occasionally a scantily-clad character committing violence (mostly women, a lot of them arachne-themed). Some of it has neon LEDs and cyberpunk theming. Some of it has leather.

Alex hums as she looks through the various pieces and

or occasionally a scantily-clad character committing violence (mostly women, a lot of them arachne-themed)

and tries to not blatantly act like she's a horny lesbian succubus that stumbled upon surprise clothes that feature scantily clad women, and looks through them in a totally normal way.

She eventually settles on taking a combination of jacket and hoodie and t-shirt that seem like they could comfortably fit her wing inside too, an oversized hat that'd cover and make it not completely obvious that she has horns, and a skirt short enough she could causally give panty shots in which while on the shorter end, is still of a reasonable length. (And after much indecision does grab 1 piece featuring horny girl violence.)

They hope she enjoys the merch! They'll email her with more information and maybe general parameters for a contract once engineering has experience with her wool!

(The envelope they gave her for the samples so far contains one thousand dollars. Cash.)

Understood! And she'll thank them for that before heading off.

(The envelope they gave her for the samples so far contains one thousand dollars. Cash.)

!! Next she'll go the bank to deposi-

...

She'd probably need to detransform for that considering how different she looks compared to her base form and thus what'd be on her ID...

She'll just hide the envelope in her apartment when she gets back and deposit it later after she gets around to sorting out her ID.

On the way back she passes a neighbor who gives her a long questioning glance, but then they go back to doing something in their phone, while also fumbling for car keys.

Something feels... Different? Full? (She gets the distinct impression that all the recent sex contributed to that.)

On the way back she passes a neighbor who gives her a long questioning glance

... Possibly she should come up with some kind of story to give her neighbors on either why recently they never see "him" leaving "his" apartment and why a busty pink haired girl is seen coming and going or/and why (s)he's suddenly girl.

At some point which is not now however, at this moment she'll just smile awkwardly back at the neighbor before hiding in her apartment.

Something feels... Different? Full?

Neat! What happens if she tries ?triggering? the thing that feels different?

(She gets the distinct impression that all the recent sex contributed to that.)

Well it's not like she needed even more incentive for all the sex, but she appreciates it!

There's no obvious trigger. Feels like it's waiting for something.

After a bit of time spent thinking, she decides to try checking if the trigger it's waiting for involves transforming, does it feel like a new option is available or something if she detransforms and transform again?

When she detransforms, suddenly there is a third metaphorical figure on the metaphorical shelf!

This one feels... Almost technological. Shifty. Clever. Mischievous. And definitely like the sort of transformation that would appreciate a well appointed workshop.

Cool! She almost immediately goes to try it out before thinking better of it, as she's heard things about tinker type supers, so first she's going to set a few attention grabbing timer/reminders on her phone, and then she'll-

transform!

She barely even notices the floofy ears sprouting from her head, or her body shrinking to the smallest it's been yet, instead focused on the flood of ideas that's now crossing her mind~.

There are so

many

things

she could build!

Anything that has been a petty annoyance in the past- Her computer loading slowly? That is FIXABLE. Code and new electronics. She can see how to do it. Too complicated to write down, and she'd need to go buy some things, bit it's eminently doable, and you could add new features, like an algorithm specifically for searching for whatever porn would be most arousing right at this moment, or maybe VR goggles to make it more immersive.

Clothes not fitting lately thanks to all the transformations? Well, there are some fabric designs and little bits of machinery that can automatically adjust them depending on the situation! And get them out of the way or turn them into something that accentuates her best features when the mood is right!

Worried about security? She could build really tough locks and reinforced materials to line the walls with- For that matter, she could build a really tough chastity belt that only unlocks for her, to protect from cheating and make sure energy is saved up for her!

Or her phone- Currently it's not really usable in some forms, which is inconvenient and maybe trackable? There are ways to make it connect mentally, untraceable and stealthy on the internet... To spy on people, or send lewd comments straight to Salem without worrying about getting caught.

Microwave heating food unevenly? She can change it to a different type of energy, powered by her own innate magic! And if you modulated it slightly differently, you could make it fire pleasantly numbing rays instead of microwave radiation- What a humane way of stopping people, much better than tasers or bullets, and she could use it to make sure Art stays at attention next time!
