[SRP]NoMoreHeroes–Issue10: Mannahatta

[Knight Errant]

Stella picks at the lettuce, grumbling. "Rabbit food... how can I even live on a diet like this... and have... like... this roundness." She humphs at her curvy body.

She glances up to her friends... and around the casino restaurant... then back down at her plate.

She mutters, so low it would be chancy anyone would hear over the background noise of the casino. "Dont have control over anything anymore..."

She felt utterly alone in this sea of noise and cheering. Everyone here looked like they belonged... even Selma and Fei Li seemed fine... why was it only her who felt abnormal? Maybe she just was... and she would feel uncomfortable in her own skin the rest of her life.

Her face flushes, her body reacting to her morose thoughts and flushing her with hormones. Her thoughts turn cloudy and slow, as trying to think through the haze of arousal becomes difficult. She blinks, looking around before going back to her plate... munching the lettuce absently.

[Miku-chan]

Miku-chan - Ben Reilly AKA Scarlet Spider – Gwen Watson
Scene picks up, Gwen is lying in bed glowing figuratively that is… the pre-dinner sex always made her forget about all her worries and well everything, that and it always worked up a appetite. MJ was in the shower and likely almost done which meant she would have to get ready soon as well. A knock on the door was followed by a formal female voice “Mistress, dinner is ready.”

Gwen lay there in the afterglow, she couldn't seem to rememberwhat she did at the shoot earlier. Some thing she should be worried about but she no longer cared as he nightmares of the bridge were once more forgotten. Hearing MJ almost finished, she knew she should probably get up and get ready, but a few more moments in the luxury of her after glow wouldn't hurt, right? But the spell was broken as the maids voice came thru..." Thank you Lilly, we will out momentarily." Gwen replys before wondering how she remembered the maids name this time when she never could before. She heads into the bath for a quick clean up not worried about her undressed state. Slipping past MJ and kissing her on he neck before teasingly letting her fingers carress the redheads backside, she quickly hops under the waterfall showerhead...

Mark was defenately getting a bit bored waiting in the room. Thankfully the food was good, dispite the fact it was standard school fare. By this time Mark had taken off her head ordament, shoes and thigh highs to make herself more comfertable. Even with nothing to do, this time gave Mark some time to reflect upon the events. Apart from the very akward feeling of now being in a girls body, feeling the emptiness between her legs and the weight and ocasional giggle of her breasts, the brushing some hair from her forehead and the ever on going battle of the skirt. Still, she wondered what was the fate of this Ming girl. Apperantly this wasn't a body swap or anything, but still, he worried. Maybe she was still somewhere in this body? Who knows. Mark decided the next course of action apart from trying to get help was to find Ming's friends and family and tell them of the situation, if she's to be in this body for a long period of time. Her friends and family desirve to know whats happened to Ming, but all that Mark can do at the moment is take care of Ming's body. She sat straight up on the bed and sighed. "Sorry for this happening Ming. I'll take care of your body, don't..." she murmered to herself, before she could feel her bodies bodily functions kick in. She griped her lower body and blushed. "Oh crap...." she said as she looked around for a toilet. Mark REALLY didn't look forward to whats probably going to happen.

[Stray-chan]

Bubbles was busy dipping biscuits in gravy and zoning out during Buttercups scolding. This food is really good! Almost makes up for... whatever was happening during the signing. She comes back around when her bandmate brings up food, though. "That's because biscuits are better when there's something on them. And these," she held up the gravy-soaked baked good she had been working on, "are amazing in gravy." She takes a bite, then offers it to Buttercup. "Try some!"

At the mention of super heroes, she does peer over to where Catalina and Blossom are talking. "Hmm, I wonder what they're talking about over there..."

[ZeroForever]

Ickle Harri-chan - Katherine 'Kitty' Harrison AKA The Flying Fox – Catalina Essex
Stray-chan - Lucius Banks AKA Headbanger – Bubbles
“Don’t think I’ve seen that anime, unless you’re taking about that Mr. Fox movie but still haven’t seen that so I wouldn’t know.” Blossom said clearly not sure what Cat was talking about. “mmmchickenyouknowIshouldfeelbadforthecrittersbuttherejustsotasty.” She said rapidly as she stuffed herself somehow managing to eat and talk at the same time. It was at this time additional sides were delivered, looking at one of them Blossom spoke quietly as something came to mind. “oh yeah did you ever finish making those super beans? You know the ones you were genetically engineering that would cause someone to have enough gas to rocket to space.”
Buttercup meanwhile whapped Bubbles upside the head with a fried chicken leg “You know I hate brown gravy… don’t make me poor it down your nose.” She said as she proceeded to eat more then someone of there figure could possibly fit… Bubbles like wise found herself enjoying but not completely sated by the food, she could feel the other craving welling up again the food only making a minor dent in it.
Meanwhile a silent conversation was going on between Maria and Utonium, the air around them seemingly filled with conversation though no words other then to the waiters were said.

Maiden Miki - Michael Anderson AKA The Hub – Mimi Eoria
“Green… I guess that could work.” Hakase said still scribbling the design on the napkin of the beam gun. While eating with the other hand, when she asked her question he was in the middle of eating his hamburger he responded “MURHG Why would anyone care?” He said, as if to exemplify his point one of the tables down the hall, the girls were dressed in a clothing line looking like it had been designed by Lady Gaga. Mimi meanwhile would have an indifferent feeling looking/eating the food as she knew somewhere in her mind that she could cook better, but still food was food and her tummy was growling from all the work they had put in earlier.

Knight Errant - Stan Darkwood AKA The Sentinel – Stella
Eating the lettuce slowly but surely reduced Stella’s boob size to a more manageable C-cup, so that she didn’t need to rest them on the counter, that still didn’t stop Fei Li from groping them as they adjusted, the girls mental state becoming more bimboish as the day went on, by the end of the night usually she would resemble one Shampoo. “Think Boobies better when big, should drink drink again.” She said as her English became worse. Selma meanwhile finished off her meal before speaking “No drinks, we have an Auction tonight, so we’re working the floor.”

Miku-chan - Ben Reilly AKA Scarlet Spider – Gwen Watson
MJ smiled pleasantly at the fact that Gwen had taken prerogative in her actions it showed progression after all, even the mishap in the afternoon was actually positive given all things. As she headed into the bathroom it was like it was before, still huge and overly ritzy.
MJ meanwhile dried off within seconds thanks to the symbiote she headed out into the dining area as it began to form a liquid black dress. “I’ll be going ahead tiger, just to need double check tonight’s goods.”

[Harri-chan]

Cat found herself laughing at the antics of Buttercup and Bubbles across the table. They weren't at all what she'd imaged Pop stars to be like. Her cheeks went a little red as Bubbles glanced across at her, and she quickly looked back to Blossom, her pigtails swishing about, and poked her glasses back against the bridge of her nose. As the waitress brought more food, she nodded and smiled up at her, "Thanks". All she could do was watch in awe as the blonde Pop star spoke faster than Cat was able to, while at the same time stuffing her face with more chicken. "Uh... I think I must have got side-tracked on the beans.... ". Okay, so that could explain why she was in college level genetic classes. Her nose wrinkled a little at the thought of fart-powered flight however. ".... because I'm working on a new project". She bit her bottom lip, glancing towards her purse... but she felt comfortable with Blossom. Finishing off her chicken leg, she wiped her lips and fingers with a napkin before reaching into the expensive bag, and pulled out her notepad full of scribbled notes on her plans for re-inventing herself as a super hero. Of course, having now seen just how rich her family was... there would be some changes to be made.

"I'm going to become a Super Hero", she said in a hushed voice, leaning a little closer and tapped the notepad. "I know what's cool now. I just need to do some shopping, and... work on my balance and stuff. I was thinking TWO outfits. The first one is for when I know I'm going out and can prepare. A skin-tight black leather bodysuit. You know, like in the X-Men movie? I'm sure it would be easy to pick something up like that at a biker store. They'd probably also sell those glasses that wrap around your head so they don't fall off. I'm gonna need some of those. The second outfit would be something I could wear under my regular clothes, so I'd always be prepared, you know? Just pull off the clothes on top and change my shoes, and I'm ready to go. It would be in black too, a spandex dress, but it would have to be really short so it never showed up under other dresses or skirts. And I could get some of those panties in the same material, so it all looked like part of one outfit, you know, like a cheerleader? Nobody thinks it's weird that they show their underwear when doing all those kicks. I could probably get a dress like that at any store that sells dance costumes".

There was another hesitant pause, and she drew a deep breath before reaching for a comic, flipping it open to reveal a bunch of teenagers being shown around a warehouse by a girl in the uniform of a prestigious school. "This is Kate Bishop. She's still in school, but SHE's a super hero. She has a really rich Dad, and she and her friends use one of his old buildings as their base. Cool, huh? Ohmygod! I could get a car! In black!". Reaching for her phone, she started poking at the screen. "Yeah, it could have... what's that thing called... uh, GPS? And blacked out windows so I could ride around without anyone seeing who was inside. Uh... I know it probably doesn't look it, but I'm a good driver! And it could have a sun roof that I could control using the keys! Do you think my Dad would buy me this?", she asked, pointing to a car on the screen of her phone, "It's pocket change compared to a freaking helicopter... and I could call it... the Cat mobile!". Watching for Blossom's reaction, she reached across the table to pick up a chicken burger with cheese and started to bite into it..

[Knight Errant]

Stella blinks, glancing down as her chest shrinks. This was interesting... But her thoughts are shattered as Fei Li gropes them. She jumps with a little 'eep!'

Her face blushing, she listens to Fei Li's broken english... something stands out. "U-um... what drink are you talking about?" She glances to Selma, half asking her the question.

[Danarth]

Horo had been sitting, looking down at the clear floor, looking down at the people below in the lower half of the cafeteria they were currently in, watching the other students below. She could pick up a little bit of noise coming from below though most was filtered out. She was glad that Kara had reverted her ears back to normal so that the sounds from the surrondings were not as intensive as they had been with the wolf ears. After a moment she would look up and take a look around for a moment. The level of the cafeteria they were on was certainly fancier then the level below. The impression she was getting of Kara, was that the girl was wealthy, from the expensive looking school she went to, the personal maid and now the ritzy level of this cafeteria. As she looked too and fro, she noticed that the food, though standard cafeteria fare did seem to be made of richer ingredients and seemed to lack the preservaties and chemicals found in the regular cafeteria food, at least if her sense of smell was anything to tell. It was something quite pleasent, she or rather Daniel had never been to fond of all the chemicals in food like that as a result Daniel had avoided such food and had made his own food.

As she examined the food at the different tables, at points it was hard for her to tell what the food was visually because of the colour blindness she had acquired from her recent change into a shapeshifter, though apparently Horo had been a mutant longer than Daniel, however the enhanced sense of smell was able to pick apart what food was what. The smells were tingling the sensitive receptors in her nose and the delicious smells were causing her to feel hungry again. As a result of this sensation of hunger her stomach would growl rather loudly. She would flush slightly red and put her hand on her stomach a moment then look about a little, at the others in the private booth "Sorry....I don't know what's going on...I've already eaten and I am never usually this hungry, at least, I don't think I am" she sighed a moment as she took her hand on her stomach. Horo and Daniel clearly had some things in common but there were some differences that were bugging the portion of the mind that was still Daniel and these gaps that he had for Horo's life were causing assorted problems.

She sat back a little and tried to relax a little as she listened to the others in the group, first to Kara and Cassie as they chattered about the sports match and some other things that seemed to interest them. She had been a little surprised earlier when she had turned to see the two girls making out as they were, but it had only lasted a moment. She put her hand onto her on stomach again for a moment wondering what was causing her to be so hungry at the moment, as it was something Daniel never really had a problem with. Shaking her head for a moment as she rubbed her stomach gently to try and quell the growling stomach. She looked over to Kiwi for a moment and canted her head slightly as she listened to the orders the other maid was making the orders for food at a rather bewildering pace as if she knew off the top of her head. Pausing for thought at the desert Kiwi seemed to be ordering, it sounded delicious beyond most deserts she, or Daniel, had ever eaten before and this fact did not help her growling stomach. Trying to focus beyond the stomach for a moment, she pondered Kiwi for a moment, the girl seemed to know quite a lot and seemed to have been put in charge of various things, so she considered for a moment asking if Kiwi could fill in any gaps in that Daniel/Horo were missing at the moment, though she would have to wait till they had finished eating, she did not wish to ask in front of Kara and Cassie.

[Maiden Miki]

Maiden Miki - Michael Anderson AKA The Hub – Mimi Eoria
“Green… I guess that could work.” Hakase said still scribbling the design on the napkin of the beam gun. While eating with the other hand, when she asked her question he was in the middle of eating his hamburger he responded “MURHG Why would anyone care?” He said, as if to exemplify his point one of the tables down the hall, the girls were dressed in a clothing line looking like it had been designed by Lady Gaga. Mimi meanwhile would have an indifferent feeling looking/eating the food as she knew somewhere in her mind that she could cook better, but still food was food and her tummy was growling from all the work they had put in earlier.

Mimi felt a bit glad that Hakase didn't decline her idea of making the beam green. Something in her was happy that he liked it since she knew that Hakase was a bit difficult to please. She then darted her eyes at some girls that looked like they were wearing something similar to what she was wearing but was much more flamboyant. She guess Hakase had a point but still wasn't sure. She then said in a softer then usual voice, "But it covers so little and I am in public. What if...."

Mimi then remember the maid from before that made her feel comfortable. She then shook that out of her mind as she took another bite of her chicken fingers. It tasted okay and was filling her up. She dips the fingers into the sauce and bit into it. She then ate another one and was getting the feeling that she could have cooked something better. It made sense to her that Mimi could have cooked something better seeing that she was a maid and she much have been trained in the art of cooking. Though right now she was so hungry that anything was good.

"If we doing this again....," said Mimi as she munch on a few fries. After eating a few more and chicken fingers to help stop the growling from her stomach. Then to keep talking in her soft voice, "May I cook something for us? I don't mind eating here though."

[ZeroForever]

Kaizer - Mark Habel AKA Grav – Ming Zhu
One of the walls on the side slide open almost on cue revealing said bathroom, the interior of it much like the other rooms in its generic uniform design. While she learned the details on how females proceed in the bathroom in the other room they reviewed. By the time she had finished up Dr. McCoy was standing waiting in the room “There’s someone I would like you to talk to.” She said, the wall next to her then turned into a projection screen “Greeting Mark” a digitally scrambled voice said from the shadowy visage of a person displayed.

[Zilla]

(Um, I wouldn't mind just skipping ahead to another scene... the one I'm in is hard for me to get into, actually. ^^;; )

Miku-chan - Ben Reilly AKA Scarlet Spider – Gwen Watson
MJ smiled pleasantly at the fact that Gwen had taken prerogative in her actions it showed progression after all, even the mishap in the afternoon was actually positive given all things. As she headed into the bathroom it was like it was before, still huge and overly ritzy.
MJ meanwhile dried off within seconds thanks to the symbiote she headed out into the dining area as it began to form a liquid black dress. “I’ll be going ahead tiger, just to need double check tonight’s goods.”

Gwen smiles a lazy sated smile as MJ heads out the door before she realizes what MJ had said..."Goods? What goods are those?" Gwen asks. Something was going on and Gwen was starting to get confused once more. The other events from earlier in the day, but something was still there to tickle her thoughts. Then the remembering of the maids name. She quickly finishes her shower and dries herself. Stepping into the master bedroom once more, she tries to decide what outfit would best show her happiness to MJ for her earlier minstrations. The idea hits her and she thinks of the dress she wants to wear this evening...

[ZeroForever]

Zilla - Name: Sandra Yen / Sparker – Hime
Scene skipped.
Scene picks up, Hime is at a fairly large expo center not too far from the ritzy and famous Stepford University campus. She was standing in-front of the expo-booth for the Genom company handing out fliers and essentially being a booth babe for the company. The private from earlier is working the desk meanwhile Batou was still in the van as he never was much of a ‘people person’.
Tens of thousands of people were present foreigners, tech bloggers, to the university students of both sexes, rich school girls with their own private mutant maid; you name it they were there. Each was walking about the festival exploring the sights after all it was only every 6 months or so that an I-Expo occurred and everyone that was someone would drop by. Over the comm. Link “HAHAHAHA those guys never knew what hit them.” Batou said for the 10th time, he clearly enjoyed the pre-show excursion far more then the show itself.

[Zilla]

"That's not nice, Batou..." Hime replied, smiling and greeting yet another curious student, who seemed to be somewhat impressed with her crimson-tinted body. "They may not know everything about what goes on in this city, but they're people too."

She gave the usual demonstration of the company's profile, trying not to let it show that she herself didn't think much of these students. She privately mused on their cushy lives, far from any kind of danger, and so far removed from the world she had come to know. Maids even! It ate at her, thinking of how much these people took for granted.

She smiled and waved another group off, and sighed a little on the inside. "How much longer are we scheduled to run this thing?" she sends.

[ZeroForever]

Danarth - Daniel Horatio Blaidd AKA 'Lykos' – Horo Gleason
When the food arrived it was as if they had anticipated Horo’s hunger as they had ordered an extra 2 pound rare steak for her, while all the girls had various desserts, the aroma mind blowing but the taste “God I love these things, there like a mouth orgasm.” Kara said plainly as her bite into the super fudge concoction “Close enough, but still do you need to say it out loud” Cassie responded. Kiwi meanwhile as quiet as she ate her food.
“Anyways were heading to the I-Expo next right?” Kara asked, while Cassie responded “Yeah, it should be awesome; I heard that there demoing the new IGun tonight.”
Horo also would find a faint but similar smell of the maid boy/girl from earlier… looking down with her enhanced vision she could see her on the bottom floor in a bodysuit talking with a ‘cute’ nerdy boy.

Zilla - Name: Sandra Yen / Sparker – Hime
“HAHA Bank robbers are people too…. kid you’re to idealistic but I guess that’s what makes you a ‘hime’” Batou said over the comm. “Anyways the shift at the booth isn’t over till pretty late, honestly while I can understand the urge to showboat the newest technologies this is still a fairly big waste of tax payer money. Then again since the entire cybernetics department R&D is technically contracted to Genom Corp. were required to jump when they say so at events like this. Either way the crowds should mostly disperse after the reveal in the main hall at 8:00 so just smile and nod till then.” He said.
At this point even parents and families with strollers were starting to mingle into the ever increasing crowds little kids poking and prodding her. The numbers of people drastically increasing as people were likely coming to the expo post work. Across the floor however there were dozens of other robots, from the gyroids to persocoms across the assorted company’s booths.
