Memory Manipulation

You opened your phone for the first time since discovering the app and noticed a few notifications. The app now opened with a small menu and you could see Jennifer and Marcus listed as targets. There was a menu for minor targets as well, like the girl at Taco Bell yesterday. You could also see a notification for updating the app.

You read over the patch notes and noticed "Memory Manipulation - beta" on the list. You fired up the update and the app opened with a new animated intro. The list was back and a paragraph came up.

Update: Memory Manipulation has now been implemented in a beta form. This is much more difficult than personality or action manipulation and requires the target to be well under ones control before it is viable. Memory manipulation is what it sounds like. Want your friend's wife to think she's your wife? Done. Want your friend to think he's never had sex in his life? Done. Want your boss to think you nailed that promotion and were promised a raise? Done!

This is not something you can just do, unfortunately. It requires much more finesse than the other forms of control and should be considered a late game reward for persisting with your targets. Future updates should lower the barrier to entry for memory play.

Also there has been a few QoL updates and the UI has been better organized. Enjoy!

You pull up the menu and tap on Marcus. He had a few personality traits added like 'submissive' and 'wet dreamer.' You could see a bar at the top of his character that looked to be about 20% full. It didn't give you a number so you couldn't be completely sure. There was also a segment toward the other end of the bar with a little brain icon above it. Maybe the memory manipulation threshold? Probably.

You actually were bored out of your mind. You decided to do laundry just so you could pass the time. You also started planning for the future. Even with all this power, you still needed a place to sleep and money to pay for that. A plan formed in your head and you raced out the door.

"Well hey there Dustin, it's been a while." You sat down at the dimly lit bar of the strip club. It was almost empty at just passed noon and Daisy clocked you as soon as you entered.

"Hey Daisy. Yeah my roommates wife doesn't like dancers apparently."

"That prude bitch." Daisy poured a whiskey and slid it over to you. "You came to play with me?"

"Sit on me." You waved her around the bar and she paused before obeying. She sauntered sexily around to where you were sitting and she popped herself right on your lap. "Give me a kiss."

She leaned down and gave you a nice tongue kiss. Daisy was the youngest and hottest girl at the club, she only started six months ago right out of high school. The layers of filth accumulating on the other strippers hadn't settled over young Daisy for the moment. "What a good girl. Feed me my drink."

"You are so needy today." She giggled. "I guess that's why you came in early. You wanted me all to yourself."

"Mmm that's definitely true. Why aren't you online?"

"Hmm? You mean like camming? I don't want the whole world to see what I do."

"You could make enough money to tell them to fuck off. Your body is flawless." You reached around and held her waist and gave her a kiss above her little bra. She cooed and stroked your hair.

"Mmm well I don't know how to do all that stuff."

"Let me help you. You can even come stay at my place and do it there." You saw her eyes close for a second and she giggled.

"Mmmkay. Well I work until 10 tonight so after that?"

"Fuck that, quit! Go over to Manny and tell him to shove it up his ass right now." She hesitated but then shrugged and got up. You barely heard the words coming from the back but Manny rushed out after Daisy, his face red.

"WELL GET THE FUCK OUT THEN YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE BITCH!" He spat. You got up and followed Daisy, leaving your drink behind.

"That went well." You said sarcastically. She took a deep breath and then looked at you.

"You better not fuck me right now. I cannot come back here." You put a reassuring hand on her shoulder and smiled.

"Relax babe, you're in good hands. Let's get home." The ride home you peppered the young slut with orders. Sit here, no here, lean on me, kiss me, rub my leg, hold still, don't moan, keep quiet people are looking, cum for me. It was clear that Daisy was a much easier target than Jennifer. That would be perfect for your needs.

You got home and then pulled out your laptop. You opened up some live chat site and started an account for your new revenue stream and linked it to your bank, then told her to look at other girls and learn how to do it properly. You left her to figure that out while you went downstairs to the building manager. "Rico!"

"What is it this time? No money?" If Daisy was the easiest target, Rico was gonna be the hardest. You barely knew anything about him and you never spoke except to make excuses about the rent.

"Nah I'm good for it this month. Let's go get lunch." He raised an eyebrow and grinned.

"Ahh good man. Paying back the guy who treated you so well. You're not as hopeless as I thought."

You shrug. "Well if I can wear you down I can pay less rent." He laughed.

"Yeah, that's gonna happen you sonofabitch! Let's go." You walked and nervously tried to find an angle to start subverting this guy.

"How's the wife? Do you have a wife?"

"Nah man, she fuckin left me."

"Ahh right, you lost her. It's better now though, no good marriage ends." He looked offended.

"She was my fucking life man. My children! It's not better now, even when it was bad it was better than this. You'll understand one day."

"You didn't fight for her. You let this happen on some level." He looked like he wanted to argue but he nodded.

"Yeah. She wore me down man, I'm old. Tired."

"Weak." He shot you a glance and you shrugged. "What? Most guys are weak, it's just how it is man. If you were stronger you could've put her in her place and kept her around. You didn't."

"Careful man. It's true but don't just go saying that to people."

"We're friends. You don't front someone $2500 in rent unless you like the guy. We are friends, and I'm just helping you figure it all out. You were too weak to keep her. I'm not judging you man, just... if you hear it said like that it's easier to figure out what went wrong you know?"

He looked over and then nodded. "Can't argue with that. Man, you're really on fire today." You pulled up to a food truck across the street. You pointed and smiled sheepishly.

"You can pay." He started laughing and shaking his head.

"Well at least you haven't changed that much. I was worried you found God or something." You took a second.

"Well.... maybe I did?" You thought about the app that can manipulate peoples' minds. "I did not find employment though. Give me that." You pointed to his burrito and he looked upset.

"Dude, I need to eat."

"You're a weak man, we established this. Give me your food and go hungry today. You can't find peace until you really own who you are. I'm helping you out here."

You watched a battle in his head but eventually he broke. He handed you the burrito and you ate a few bites and then tossed it in the trash. "Damn man, that was cold."

You put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "You felt such a rush when I did that. You almost felt a high from being fucked over like that, didn't you? You're a weak man. Always will be."

He was quiet. "Damn dude." He didn't say much.

"It's lucky I'm here to guide you. Thank me."

He looked at you and then nodded. "Thanks bro. I know you're just looking out for me."

"You really wanna feel a rush? Cut our rent in half and pay the rest yourself. Better yet, pay our whole rent yourself. You make enough money." He shook his head.

"I don't know about that man. I have my own bills to pay and I gotta keep a roof over my head you know?" You considered it for a second and then nodded.

"You can pay half. Pay half our rent going forward." He hesitated again but then nodded.

"Yeah, fine. I'll pay half your rent."

"Perfect, let's get the new agreement in writing." You walked back to his little office and he tore up your old rental agreement. He wrote out the new half price and then signed it.

"I can't believe I'm doing this."

"I can, you're a scared little bitch man." You gently slapped his face. "You're understanding your place better. Now thank me for helping you or I'm not gonna do it again." I watched his conflicted mind process that but then he grinned.

"Thanks man. You really helped me out." You nodded and headed upstairs. You peeked your head in at Daisy and found she was rubbing her tits. You could hear the occasional 'bling' noise as she got tips. So you secured some income and reduced your costs. A fairly productive day and very unusual for you. It was almost time for Jennifer to return so you fired up the playstation and kicked back.
