"It depends - depending on what your...powers...are, if any, it could reduce or extend the recovery period. I'd recommend not pressure testing your resilience, however." The doctor sighs, before standing, Lana giving a mock sad expression as Sonata covers his chest. "Was there any other medical related query you had for me?"
Vanessa merely smiles at the techs who look at her, motioning for them them to not mind her. But, as she saw her destination, along with Professor Cyning who seemed to have no plans to leave. The heiress sighs, deciding to break her own words. She approaches the old woman, "Excuse me, sorry to disturb you Professor. But I have a question about Jack Place." She said in a curious tone, "You see, I came by his place, and it was... empty. But, as I was about to leave, his voice mail activated, and someone was inquiring about a quantum spectrometer? Do you have any clues what that is?"
Nipples still hard as diamonds under his shirt, Sonata barely suppresses a laugh at Lana's antics. "Nothing else from me, doctor. I was just concerned about the ribs being set right and not sticking into my lungs. The other bruises will heal on their own. Thanks again." He reads the instructions for the anti-inflammatory medication, making sure it's fine to take one now, then does so once the doctor leaves, removing his mask. He wonders internally Why did that feel so...revealing?
“Sure, I'm always happy to help.” Azura agreed. Soon her eyes were roaming all over the redhead's body as Esmerelda showed off each outfit. Spoiler: 1 “This one looks good – it shows off your figure without emphasizing it too much or exposing any skin. A fine casual outfit.” Spoiler: 2 “Ooh, a sexy secretary outfit! It shows some skin, but not too much – just enough to be tempting. Looks great, I like it!” And it would be easy to slip a hand under the skirt and grab her butt. She thought as she gave a thumbs up. Spoiler: 3 “This one... I'd say it's not professional enough, unless you're trying to seduce your boss. It shows a bit too much of your bust. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but if you're trying to look professional I'd pick the previous outfit, unless you're intentionally trying to tempt someone.” Spoiler: 4 “Oooh, sexy!” And it emphasizes her butt nicely. “Yeah, I agree – this is a great workout outfit.” She nodded in approval.
"Err..." Cyning tears her attention from the screen, trying to hide irritation. "It's a...measuring device, of sorts. It would be difficult to explain, exactly, but in effect it would be able to measure and the determine the progress of the work we do here - personality alteration and transfer. In layman's terms, you could use one to identify a person who's had their consciousness transferred or altered, and in what ways."
Lana chuckles, as the man leaves and Sonata downs the first of the medication. "Heh, looks like that kinda excited you... Thinking of switching to Calista again?"
"Hmm..." Esmerelda raises an eyebrow. "And who could I possibly be trying to tempt?" She giggles. "Alright, I'll take the first two outfits and the workout wear - if you're okay with paying for it. When I can access my money safely again, I'll pay you back, every cent."
"Sorry to interrupt." Vanessa giggles as she noticed the Professor's irritation. "I see, but why exactly would he require one for his own use?" She pondered out loud, "Unless he's been doing some... extracurricular activities when he was still working here?"
“Sure, go ahead and buy them, don't worry about the money.” Azura gave her friend a reassuring smile. “I look forward to seeing you wear them.” Especially the last one...
"I have no idea - we have such devices here at the lab. Though... You would have to sign to use them." The woman thinks. "I don't know... It's possible, though I don't see what his reasoning would be."
Though Azura winces at the price, soon Esmerelda steps out of the shop, clad in the first outfit, with the others in bags at her side. "So what now? The hotel? Or perhaps you want to check up on that battle we passed - it might not have been unrelated."
"That is... unfortunate." Vanessa sighed, "Thank you Professor, I'll try and stay out of your hair." She said with a smile, trying to determine where Jack might have hidden in, and whether or not she could get to it without attracting the old woman's attention.
(Sorry for missing your post) Spoiler: Combat Roll D100: 56+10 Remaining thugs: 2 Amethyst effortlessly moves through the men, smashing into them with her superpowered might. To her surprise, however, she's not hitting as hard as she should. Two of the men stumble back to their feet, and surprise her further with what they say. "Shit... Back for more, lady?"
"I-" He pauses for a moment, thinking. "I really shouldn't be her unless it's for work..." He remembers breaking that rule the same day he was given Calista's initial stage outfit by wearing it in his apartment for the rest of the day and changes his mind. Blushing heavily, he nervously says "I brought some of her clothes just in case I needed to prove I'm the same person. Let me go get changed." Sonata collects the bag he brought, carrying it into a bathroom. He gingerly removes his costume, careful not to aggravate his wounds. Having been in a rush, he didn't put much thought into the clothes he took. She dons a white, lacy pair of panties, tucking her member into them. A matching, tightly-cinched A-cup bra joins it. The outerwear is nothing special--just a simple blouse and miniskirt. Calm down. She's seen Calista before. She takes a breath and exits to rejoin Lana.
“Hmm, it is possible that the battle is not unrelated... but for now let's take a look at the hotel first. We'll check the battle after that.” Azura decided after a brief consideration.
{No problem - did not even notice it } As her strikes are softer against two, she starts considering the two being some kind of superhumans. Oh well, she would beat them anyway. She tilted her head. "More?" She asked. "I don't remember you~" She chuckled, and flew up - before crashing down on the farther of the men, the turning her attention to his partner and beating him up as well.
She imagined the man wanted her to work as his maid. While she found the prospect demeaning, she did need to get the man off of her back so she could get on with her day. "Certainly Mr. Slyne," Jenny accepted "anything you deem appropriate. I'm afraid I'm unavailable at this exact moment, but if you'd like to call my cell this evening I'd be happy to head down to take care of whatever you need. You do still have my cell number?"
Looking at the switch Place indicated, beneath the console, Vanessa judges that there's no real way to reach for it subtly.
"Wow, I didn't think you'd do it now..." Lana chuckles. "You're lucky - pretty boy, pretty girl... You've got it all." The star pats the couch next to her. "You seem a little worked up - should I call Lee? Or maybe you're thinking of going somewhere?"
Heading a few doors down to the multistory hotel building, Azura finds inside nothing overt that would make her think it's a criminal hideout. The guests, the staff at reception, it all seems standard for an upmarket hotel. "So..." Sapphira whispers. "The internet says that Chen lives in the penthouse - any ideas how we get up?"
