Part of me wanted Jeff around to see this...but he's prone to jumping to conclusions. Both him and Katarina were prone to protocol when it came to trying ominous substances. I was a physicist however, experimenting was everything. Besides, Jeff was working overtime today and Katarina was off with her boyfriend Tobias. I was all alone to...do things to myself. God I was actually turning into a transformation fetishist and it felt so erotic. I wanted to experience more. Breast enlargement was lovely, but I had to take things in a new direction. The reality vial seemed to be the most powerful in terms of permanent change. Could it be modified?
I went to vial crafting and started filling in the formula for something to add to the vial. There were mental vials at this point. Wow...I could literally have permanent bottled happiness or confidence. I'd be the most chaotic loose cannon if I did that. I tried instead looking for status or environment as if to effect the world around me in more specific ways. I feel as if this is futile since the vials only change the drinker and the world via more big changes. Then I found them...out of place but definitely not to be looked over...one caught my eye...
"Rich Person's Vial"
Oh God...I could just do 100%...no. I, Mary Aster was not the avatar of greed...but ever since those single minded fools got jealous of my genius at the other labs, I was forced to deal with limited jobs and funds. If anything I wanted to wrench funds via success... however I was in a pinch. This needed to be done for at least 5%...
First off I took the Resist Reality at 50%. I wanted to be aware of what financial changes went on of course, seeing as I had to take care of them. I tried this vial as a lotion. I was immediately presented with a small circular container, carrying make up comparable lotion. I wasted no time in applying it to myself.
Mmmmn...geeze...it felt a little more euphoric. I could feel a wave of pleasure and heat wash over my body as I rubbed this everywhere until it was gone...mmn...I even used it for my folds, fingering myself. I could actually see the "protection" going up though. I was amazed as I actually saw ripples of nearby space around me slosh around like water until they settled into normalcy. I created a sort of bubble I thought. One I could not perceive but nevertheless felt protected by. As a scientist of physics I was interested in the next step immediately.
Matter cannot be created or destroyed...it's just there and it can only change. How much could I really change? I decided to go for the spray style. Now I noticed that the options allowed for smell and taste. I quaintly chose perfume bottle with a comparable smell to that of high brand perfumes. I also changed my mind on percentage. In order to test how well this could go, I upped the stakes. I went 15%...
Sss!
Mmmmmnnnn....suddenly I got a whiff of some really good perfume over my body and again I'm assaulted by euphoria. This time my vision got blurry and I stumbled a bit. I started to "remember" memories of inheritance via blood relations, selling a line of science books and catering to a college lecture hall...holy shit...I micro managed like a boss!
I awoke to find that the lab was vastly bigger than I remembered. It had a larger supercomputer meant for scientific study, There was a decent electron microscope in my possession now. I had a testing chamber that seemed way more appropriate to handle containment. All in all I also had a place to store all of my notes via a moderate personal library. Everything seemed to be in order as far as the lab...but the upstairs was another thing entirely...
Jesus Christ...I had a mansion estate. The memories of it hit me quick and painlessly but I still couldn't hold back my eagerness to explore. The mansion wasn't on the standing of more sophisticated rich people but I certainly paid my way to a large estate. I had art and fine furniture around a fire place. I had decent computers, TVs, kitchen appliances and such. I had a outdoor pool and a nice open lawn with fine flowers along with a greenhouse. Clearly I wasn't in the same neighborhood though because this would take up a lot of space. I started to remember that despite all of this great stuff...I was still the butt end of those fools of where I used to work. I guess certain things stay the same unless you affect them directly.
"Hey Mary...are you alright? You look like you've seen a ghost..."
I turned around to see my friend Chloe...in a maid's outfit. Chloe was a female average caucasian with short brown hair and a decent build. Earlier in my previous reality I knew her to be a studious individual that was going into engineering but she always seemed like she needed the money to continue schooling. Now in this reality...I'm paying her for that and giving her a place to stay. Wow...either I'm vary charitable or I needed feel like I had power over someone. I went with the former just in case as I addressed her...fortunately I had my lab coat on after the reality change...
"S-sorry Chloe, I had a nightmare while on my resting chair...probably was the coffee." I said with some nervousness showing.
"Oh well...don't work yourself too hard. Whats got you working the late hours anyway?" she asked with a raised brow. "Is it another book series?"
"NO...no more mediocre book titles...um...I had sort of a breakthrough. Top Secret until later though." I spat a little but then put myself into a more kinder tone.
"Okay just don't overwork because I might need to clean up after you if you mess up an experiment." said Chloe who smiled and went back to work.
I let the conversation slide because well...she was struggling and we were friends. She could be sassy with me all she wants. I tried remembering who else hung around here or if I had neighbors. Off the top of my head I had Drake...my fitness trainer. Jeff was okay with him hanging around to keep me stable for my long personal work hours but I had the feeling that Chloe was also into Drake. Jeff also stopped by to have the occasional date and movie watch at the mansion. Katarina and her boyfriend also came over to spend time at the pool among other things here. I never once did have a party here either. For right now it was just me and Chloe...
...just me and Chloe...
Hmmmn...thats a sentence with potential. I wonder how vials work on people other than me? How should I do this? Do I keep testing on myself or have Chloe join me for some fun somehow? What secrets and wonders could I unfold with the vials this time?
