Chapter 5: Cassie's Old Obligations
Saturday Night (July 8)
Over the course of the evening, Cassie realized that Vivian's hair and bush had grown out as well, something that she'd completely failed to notice while watching the woman's boobs and bottom swell. Her dark roots were almost as long as the shoulder-length blonde hair she'd walked in with, and the landing strip Cass remembered seeing occasionally in the locker room had thickened into a veritable pelt, although it felt luxuriously soft when she stroked it. Overall, the redhead thought the look was a bit of an improvement, as it gave Vivian a kind of rustic, fertility goddess appeal, although she still found the tattoos to be slightly off-putting.
While Cassie was distracted playing with Vivian's glorious new tits, Salalai had persuaded Tara to go down on her, which made Cassandra's anger and jealousy flare back up when she noticed. Fuming, but trying not to show it, she excused herself to the bathroom yet again, although mainly just to compose herself and examine her feelings. She didn't think Sally was doing anything to deliberately antagonize her, but the girl knew that her pussy gave her power over people, even if she didn't know the full details or reason for that. It was, on one level, simply prudent for her to ensnare each of the ladies in the harem with her feminine charms, but every time she did it, Cassie was left feeling like second fiddle.
Deciding to relieve herself since she was there anyway, Cassie sat down and pulled out the remote, noting that it was above 50% power again, the threshold she needed for giving one of the girls a second trait. She hesitated for only a few seconds before deciding that it was time to zap Salalai again. She had no intention of intensifying her hypnotic hoo-ha, however, so after confirming by the tempers that she had the proper target, Cassie selected the diversification option and waited, curious as ever to see what popped up. The screen soon displayed 'FETISHES,' followed by 'AQUAPHILIA.' The word's meaning was easy enough for her to guess, but the details were not quite what she expected.
The target will develop an intense interest in having sex in water and wet environments. Most masturbatory or sex acts they indulge in while at least partially immersed or continually doused will be at least tolerated by others, and the pleasure derived from any such acts will be enhanced for all parties involved.
From the sound of things, Cassie thought team showers would be a lot more interesting in the future, not to mention trips to the swimming pool or beaches. Smirking a little, she returned the device to her purse and took out her phone, thinking she might send Maddie a message about the new trait she'd discovered. To her surprise, she noticed a missed message from early afternoon, which apparently had been received while she was fooling around in the shower with Tara. To her even greater surprise, it was a text from Dana. With her stomach doing flops of anxiety, she opened it up.
"Sorry to ghost you for so long, but things have not been going well... didn't want to risk the damn thing again but feel I have no choice... can we meet at your apt tomorrow (Sun) around noon?"
Cassie hurriedly typed out a response:
"Yes! Sorry so long to reply, had a potential new roommate visiting... long story, but she will be leaving by noon, feel free to come over anytime!"
Dana's affirmation arrived in less than a minute, which made Cassie feel guilty, thinking the girl had been waiting all day for a response. A knock sounded on the door, and Tara's voice called out, "Will you be much longer? I need to tinkle!" Snorting in a mix of amusement and scorn at the term, Cassie flushed the toilet by way of answer and opened the door before starting to wash her hands. "Thanks!" said Tara brightly, her face still smeared with Sally's captivating pussy cream, the mere aroma of which caused Cassie's sex to clench.
The smaller woman sat down and asked, "Are you okay with leaving soon? As much as I've enjoyed the party, I'm about dead on my feet from waking up so early. I don't think I'd get much sleep if we stayed here, although Bonnie and Vivian invited us to crash."
"Actually, yeah, tomorrow is looking pretty busy for me," Cassie replied. "I've got a lunch date of sorts with some friends from class, and then my old roomie is coming by in the evening. That was what the call earlier was about."
Her business concluded, Tara flushed the toilet and joined Cassandra at the sink, saying, "The hippie girl, Rose, was asking if we minded her coming with us, too. I think she's feeling partied out as well, or maybe she just has a thing for you!" Tara winked as she wiped her hands dry on a towel.
Cassie shrugged and said, "Sure, she can crash with us instead if she wants. Sally and Shan live in this building, too, so it's not much trouble for them to sleep over, I guess. Not sure exactly where the rest of them stay."
"Great! With so many girls here I don't feel like I've gotten to know many of them very well, so it'll be nice to talk to her on the walk back!" Tara said brightly as she left the bathroom. Cassie followed momentarily, thinking that having Rose around in the morning would provide an opportunity to see if her hippiness could be increased, or if she'd wind up with something else random. If Madelyn was going to collect the device Sunday night, Cassandra was going to try to squeeze as much use out of it as possible before then.
Early Sunday Morning (July 9)
Cassie awoke suddenly at a quiet alarm from her phone, and quickly reached over to silence it before her bedmates awakened, too. She, Tara, and Rose had quickly done a little washing when they got back to her apartment, then crawled into bed and snuggled down to sleep. They had already pretty much worn themselves out at the orgy, although they engaged in a little light petting and smooching while they got themselves comfortably situated. Tara had ended up in between the two taller women, and her mouth had once again found a bitch-teat to suckle in her sleep.
Cassie gently pulled herself away from the pile, smiling indulgently when the sleeping goth girl smacked her lips in her sleep. Not finding what they sought, she brought her hand up and started sucking on her thumb instead. Tiptoeing across the room, the redhead rummaged quietly in her bag and extricated the device. She was pleased to see her calculations had been accurate, as it possessed just enough juice to give someone their second-level trait. Glancing at the other women to make sure they were still asleep, she targeted Rose and triggered the remote. Since it gave her no choice between intensifying or diversifying, she assumed that the style change traits were some of the ones that had only a single level. The dim green phosphorescence of the display painted strange shapes around the room as it announced what it had done: a change to Rose's 'fitness attribute,' in the device's terminology.
The target will become significantly more muscular; the specific muscle groups principally stimulated will default to the ones the target naturally uses most, although virtually all groups will see some degree of enhancement. The target's behavior, including facets of their diet and exercise routines, may change as a consequence, and their libido will increase somewhat as well. The general public will typically be unaware of the changes, even if they witness them occurring.
It was too dark for Cassie to see what happened very well, which she regretted immensely. Rose already possessed a lean, fit body that Cassie admired, and she wondered if the device was going to turn her into some kind of female bodybuilder. Not entirely sure she'd enjoy that, aesthetically speaking, she hid the remote again and moved quietly back toward her bed. She approached from the opposite side, and reached out a cautious hand to explore Rose's body. Her touch landed on her friend's ass, and even in the dark it was obvious it had changed.
Cassandra decided to risk a little illumination, and activated the flashlight on her phone. She gasped quietly at the sight she beheld. The most obvious changes, at least looking from behind, were to the girl's arms and legs. Rose's biceps and quadriceps bulged gracefully beneath her skin, noticeably larger, but not to a level that made her look bulky or unfeminine, at least in Cassie's eyes. Her back muscles also appeared larger, and her calves were far more defined. Her ass looked more or less the same as before, at least when she was reclining on her side, although the glutes beneath were much firmer than the redhead remembered. She bit her lower lip as she reached out to run her hand softly over Rose's body once more, unable to resist the temptation.
Cassie hastily extinguished the light when her two friends stirred in their sleep, possibly from her ill-considered attempt to reach between them, hoping to get a feel of Rose's abdominals. Fortunately, they quickly subsided, and Cassie was quite tired herself, so she decided to leave any further explorations for the light of day. Crawling back into bed, she gently moved Tara's thumb and offered the petite girl one of her nipples instead. Sighing happily at the warm, gentle feeling of the girl's mouth on her breast, she soon drifted back into slumber.
