Observes the day, acts the night

You watched Veena's routine, taking note what was needed. From the moment she awoke you observed her watching as she groomed herself. You saw how she prepared her breakfast, brushed her teeth, showered. These were minor details but nonetheless it was essential for you to learn how to take of your host. For the most part it was simple enough but then came choosing clothes to wear. Apparently humans took liberty in having many aesthetic choices for the clothing. It wasn't necessarily bad but you were quickly saw that what Veena wanted didn't exactly match with what she had.

For the most part your host had always been self conscious off herself, never thinking she was...sexy enough or could pull out certain outfits. One outfit in particular rested in her mind...her dream outfit so to speak but she neither believed she could pull it off nor did she have the outfit it self. From the way it was imagined it was something that would practically need to be custom made but she lacked funds for that. You filed away this information, you could most certainly make her the desired outfit from yourself.

Once Veena was dressed though she soon headed off to her college. Ah yes...learning institutions...they were as boring here as they were anywhere else. For a hive mind all it took was one individual knowing information and that knowledge would be spread amongst all others. From the looks of it your first set of infected should definitely be the teachers. The knowledge they could give you an each of their fields would be greatly appreciated for sure. The education aside though this place was a decent hotspot for new hosts to infect.

Although granted you would definitely need to work on spreading up your infection rate. As a symbiote you needed to produce more...spreadable parts of yourself for infecting others. Right now most of your body was basically just the singular functioning cells that followed orders from a singular cluster. It would take time to replicate and infect but once you start it would just increase exponentially from there. So if you infect on person today, you could infect two person's tomorrow and 4 person's the following day...if you could attain max strength so fast. Right now you were still adapting to Earth as a whole so it might take you a while before infecting...especially since you couldn't even fully control your host.

But enough on the logistics of yourself....you resumed watching your host go about her daily life. Now came some of the more interesting stuff. You learnt right away that your host was a very shy and timid girl. Despite having the adjustments you made, she still didn't feel confident in herself as you had hoped and she had wised. You saw as she looked a little enviously at some of the...popular girls who to her had it all with their looks, their fancy clothes and even their supposedly handsome boyfriends. You caught just the barest glimpses of various lustful thoughts that Veena desire with them if only for said thoughts to be immediately buried under her own low self esteem.

"You're just as good, if not better than those fakes," You whispered in Veena's head. However it didn't seem to work as well as you hoped as she merely replied wondering who she was fooling. She had assumed she told herself that to cheer up before immediately dismissing herself. You felt both bad for your host and a little hurt she didn't acknowledge your handiwork. You had half a mind to hijack her body right there and show them who was boss...yet you refrained.

It was not time yet to act. You still needed to understand the game of this world before you played it.

Soon you encountered one of your Veena's friends, a young man by name of Ethan. He wasn't as welt built as those others Veena lusted over but you can sense a friendship between these two. No scratch that....you could tell their was more....a one side crush was there from what you observed. Ethan liked Veena but both dismissed the thought. He clearly wouldn't admit it and she didn't think he liked her that way. If you were currently in control you'd roll her eyes for her being so dense...wasting her efforts on those that didn't see her true beauty when another clearly did. It seemed your host really did see herself inferior but you'd do your best to change that.

The rest of day was a blur at best. You learnt the layout of the town a little more seeing the various sights and learning the routes. Throughout the day you kept tabs on the thoughts and memories that happened in Veena's mind using it as a means to further analyze and gain insight into her and her life. Eventually though she headed home with you in tow. Glancing around it was still early by human standards. The sun was setting but Veena was already home relaxing planning to call it a day. That would do nicely.

Upon reaching home you started to tamper with her glands, producing melantonin. This caused her to feel really tired and exhausted. Soon Veena found herself drowsily walking to her bed, only stripping down to her black bra and panties before collapsing into her sheets. She was out like a light within seconds....and soon her body moved again. You opened her eyes and once again began to control her body. This time with far more fluidity and grace. Your experience during the day thought you all you needed on her locomotive skills.

Getting off her bed, you headed to the mirror once more to examine yourself. You crossed your harms as you stood before the mirror scowling at yourself or rather at Veena. "Do you really mean to insult me like that?" You grumbled as you observed your borrowed body. Reaching behind your back you unclipped your bra before dropping it on the ground, your panties falling soon after. You now remained standing nude before the mirror, hands on your hips as you watched yourself with a stern expression. You turned to the side noticing just how beautifully curved you host's body had become and felt even more disappointed by how she wasted it. "Well...if you won't utilize it....I guess I will," You told yourself.

You headed to the bath next. Fulling the tub completely with water, you soon lay down inside. While you did clean your body a bit the tub served another purpose as well. Laying down in the water, you releases some of your slime form through the pores of your body as well as the other opening's Veena had. The released slime then started absorbing the water and allowed you to expand your mass until a decent portion of the tub held your symbiotic slime alongside your host. It still didn't have any of the infections kind...that required feeding and converting other nutrients but this was more than enough to help Veena's body out.

Sinking her body deeper into the bath, you left just her head above the water as the slime inside starts to re-enter Veena's body. It was wonderful experience feeling the symbiotic slime caress her skin, especially as it dissolved back into her breasts and thighs. While the symbiotic slime didn't enlarge her breast or rear anymore it certainly made changes elsewhere. Raising up an arm you noticed how much more toned Veena's body was becoming as the slime started to substitute itself for muscles. It started with her arms, toning and giving them definition before it soon spread to her other areas. You felt her core strengthen as her bust became more firm and her back tightened. Lifting one of her legs up you watched as the were defined as well. Tracing the lines on those smooth legs were just as pleasuring to your sense of touch as they were to look at it.

Satisfied with your bath's results you soon got out and dried yourself before draining away the remaining slimeless water. Going back to the mirror for the third time you admired the more built physique you had given Veena. She wasn't going to keep it though, you'd release the excess symbiote slime to hide away somewhere else when you were done or just hide them further within her body. If she didn't like the first gift then she wouldn't get the second just yet.

However that pettiness aside you had more important things to do. With the mirror in front of you released a little bit of slime through the various parts of Veena's body. Her fingers, her toes, her nipples and her by her thighs....it was all practically bleeding with you symbiotic blood. Yet that was just the start...rather than drip or flow downwards the slime began to move around, molding itself and reshaping and retexturizing itself as it moved to cover the different parts of Veena's body.

Parts of you became gloves covering Veena's fingers, others change to boots. You body adapted quickly mimicking the textures, designs and colours of Veena's dream outfit. Parts of your slime even merged with her hair lengthening it and adding extra colour. Soon the transformation was complete and before you stood Veena's idealized yourself. The version of herself she was too shy to become but you were able of tapping into easily.

"If you tried, you could be your ideal self," You spoke softly as you gently brushed your hair from your face. You then grabbed her things her phone and her wallet absorbing them into a make shift pocket within you self. It was now time for you feed. You needed to make nutrient for your infecting cells somehow. Leaving her apartment you made sure to lock up. You had a few places to go for food for your infecting cells now. Head to the woods and find wild animals...admittedly those would be less nutritious but still provide a good source of the needed organic matter, or you could to the city and find some humans to seduce and devour for quicker and larger sources of organic matter. It would also be more difficult and riskier. Or you could use this time to get better acquainted with the world especially as...the Idealized Veena for now...test the waters of your impersonation skill and see if you can properly pass.
