One of your Deepest Desires

For the longest time, since before you even had this crazy app, since before you had this apartment, you wanted a sign, some hint that Rebecca had liked you. You had valued your friendship so much, that you couldn't just ask her outright. That was before you moved in, and now you had... you had been afraid to rock the boat, afraid that if she said no, you'd be out of the house and without one of your best friends.

But now you had it. She was masturbating with fantasies of you in her head. That isn't so much a hint or a sign, so much as a slap across the face. You curse the app that had labeled you as best friends, you curse her for never asking you outright. But most of all, you curse yourself. For never giving it a shot and just asking. For never wondering why it was that she never dated anyone, why when she went out to enjoy herself, she went with you. For probably not noticing the small signs that she had given, because in this moment you are absolutely sure that they were there.

That fits the pattern that is now dreadfully clear to you. Both of you wanted the other to make the first step. Neither of you wanted to break the ice, though both of you wanted to dive deeper. She probably wanted a man, but you were just a pusillanimous coward. And you don't even feel bad about calling yourself that, what was it the app had called you before. Self-pitying.

You don't pay attention, but you see that she is now soaping up her body, her feet moving along the floor to clean up the mess, the soap hiding the smell. After a full shower, the smell would be long gone. Hidden to the world, except to you.

You can't bear to look at her, to reflect on your own failings, so you go to your phone. You open the app.

Congratulations! You're no longer in the negatives on your dominance score. For reaching this momentous goal, you have been awarded a bonus choice. Please go to your status screen to choose your desired trait.

Way to ruin the moment there, app. You had just been through this revelation, and now the app wants to throw confetti. Great. Well no use, putting off what you're surely going to have to do anyways. Actually, you're feeling a bit rebellious, time to check what that hidden status was. You click on Rebecca and...

Rebecca Goldsmith

Status: Satisfied, Happy

Dominance: 107 (-71)

Libido:6

Yep, you thought as much, that everybody has the libido value. Still, given the fact that you could've walked into her room at night and seen her naked, you guess this isn't too shocking that it's that tiny little piece of information.

You sigh, before you click on your own face, for the first time in a while.

Pick your new trait!

Wait, what, your profile had changed? When did it do that? Or was it always dynamic, and you just hadn't noticed? Now that you think about it, you hadn't read below that for either Erica or Olivia when you looked at their screens this morning, you'd just watched the video feed to watch them having sex with each other. And you didn't know what Rebecca and Sephora had before 2.0 hit. In fact, maybe seeing Sephora last night naked had shown her Libido score this morning.

Great, well might as well check out these new traits.

Waking Nightmare- Your waking life is a nightmare to you, your sleeping life a nightmare to others.

The Kind Wolf- While on the surface everybody is calm, they all recognize that you are not of their flock, that you are like a wolf that simply hasn't set his fangs upon the herd of sheep he is trapped with.

The Hanged Man- You are trapped between two pulling forces. Your morality, your desires. Your kindness, your cruelty. Your fear, your ambition. If you don't set yourself free soon, it will tear you apart, drawn and quartered by the maelstrom of your own indecision.

Well, great, two of them are just your previous traits but modified, and the third just tells you what you already know. Maybe the app isn't great when it comes to self-reflection. You breath deep, as you press that last bit of text.

Pick your new trait!

Eyes of the Master- At will, you can have your eyes see the bodies of your slaves beneath their clothing. No effort is needed, and can be easily switched on or off. Can be used only to skin layer for subject sanity, but can also be used to see lingerie below clothes, a shirt under a jacket, etc.

Hands of the Master- Your hands become adept at bondage and other useful traits for a master. If you can think it, your hands can do it.

Body of the Master- You gain a strength increase. Despite your small frame, you will have the strength of a professional bodybuilder/weightlifter. Perfect for pinning rebellious girls within your grasp.

Choose or have it chosen at midnight.
