body swap room (sfw)

[enchanting_melody]

*while walking back to her cabin, melody spots a door partly opened, with no one to be heard inside. was this a new room, or had alluka simply forgotten to label it? in any case, she's curious enough to slip inside, finding it to contain spacious ballet studio with mirrors along the walls. there's no apparent effect to accompany it, so melody takes her time wandering through it, drifting a hand over one of the wooden bars.*

*without her hearing to track the transformation, melody tunes in to the physical sensation of her body expanding, the stretch and flex of her muscles as they grow. everything feels heightened without the noise to drown it out, magnifying along with her, to the point that she swears she can feel her very cells multiplying.

in mere minutes she hits a plateau where her inhales and exhales even out, no longer facilitating her evolution. she opens her eyes with a gasp, staring down, for the second time today, at a brand new body. she turns a thickened fist over in awe, amazed it still fits into her glove.*

magnificent...!

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky looks up at her in equal amounts of awe and surprise. She had never fully realized how much larger her true form is.

Now I know how you felt when you saw me for the first time. She gently holds melodys larger hand with both of hers.

I think I understand a little more too. Your heartbeat is sounds much different than it had before…

How are you feeling? Does it feel strange to be so tall?

[enchanting_melody]

*melody straightens up to her full height, towering over her own, shrunken body. looking down makes her head spin, vertigo causing her surroundings to sway.*

it's dizzying!

*she reaches out to brace herself against the wall, too tall to grab one of the bars, and accidentally cracks the mirror nearest to her when her palm collides with it. she gasps in shock, shamefully withdrawing from the shattered glass.*

oh my goodness!

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky winces, pressing her hands together. She stares at the crack in the mirror. “It must be more disorienting than I thought.”

Is your hand okay? Didn’t cut yourself did you? Although worried for her friend, Bisky knew it would normally take more than a shred of mirror to break her skin.

Maybe sit down until you can stand steady.

[enchanting_melody]

*melody looks at her palm, finding, much to her relief, that the glass hadn't even ripped the surface of her glove.*

i'm alright! i just -- don't know my own strength yet, i guess! *she chuckles sheepishly, taking bisky's advice and sitting herself down on the wood floor. nearly eye-to-eye with her own body again, she smiles apologetically.* i'm so sorry, i said i would be careful!

[biscuit_krueger]

Don’t worry about it! At least it was just glass. Better than your fist going through the wall. Bisky laughs.

You will get used to it quick. Maybe. It’s easy when like that, I often think of the world around me like it’s cardboard. Both my bodies have positives and negatives.

I suppose it’s not that different from your hearing at times. She shuddered slightly at the thought of staying at a cheap motel with such hearing.

[enchanting_melody]

i suppose you're right! *she laughs, the sound booming from her barrel chest much more loudly than she anticipated. she covers her mouth daintily, giggling more quietly now.* we both have to hold back to handle our surroundings... that means we have even more in common than we thought!

*behind them, the door of the room discreetly cracks open. without her super-hearing, she doesn't notice it.*

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky giggled with her. The booming laugh almost drowning out the sound of the door opening. Bisky noticed the light creaking.

We have so much in common, it could be harder to find differences. Bisky looks towards the door before looking at melody again.

It looks like the door is open again, but I wanted to ask you something. Maybe while our bodies are still swapped, you think you could teach me to play the flute a little? Maybe you could try to summon cookie.

[enchanting_melody]

of course! i'm in no rush to leave right away. my flute should be tucked into my skirt.

*relieved that they're free to go when they please, it's easier to relax in bisky's body, getting used to the feeling of taking up so much space.*

it'll take more than a single lesson to teach you how to play it, but perhaps my muscle memory can help you along.

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky looked down at herself, slowly patting her hands along the dress. It doesn’t take her long to find something ridged against her hand.

She quickly found the pocket and pulled out the shining silver flute. That’s okay. Even if it’s not with my own body, it would be nice to be able to play something at least a little. My big fingers wouldn’t be able to do much else than fight. She chuckles.

She admires the flute, the cool metal in her palm felt soothing. It feels like your nen has been infused into it.

[enchanting_melody]

it has. i'm an emitter, and i can use that flute to project my aura into my songs.

*not daring to touch the flute with her own hands lest she shatter it like the mirror, she instead mimes the proper position in front of her lips, nodding toward bisky.* go on, give it a try.

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky nods and mimicked the position. The flute felt odd but also familiar in her hands. She tried to hold her hands one way, and her fingers would slightly reposition as if on their own.

She attempted to blow into it lightly and a shrill high note is what came out, causing her to wince and nearly drop the flute. Yep..didn’t have that right..

It seems you have strong muscle memory for holding it. I think the notes will prove more difficult.

[enchanting_melody]

*melody laughs sympathetically as bisky plays an off-kilter note that stings both their ears. she gathers her utmost restraint and reaches out to reposition her fingers, awed by how delicate they feel in her massive hands.*

here, try again like this. then move your middle finger to the one left of it, then your pinky... maybe the rest will come naturally from there.

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky nods, doing as instructed. It was an odd sensation being taught again. Particularly by someone younger than herself.

She blew into the flute again slightly, slowly moving her fingers as a simple melody flows out of the instrument. At first only the two notes as instructed, which soon added a third, then a fourth.

Her eyes widened and she could feel the heart in her chest flutter in disbelief. As it was only a sequence of repeating notes, she was ecstatic to even do that much! She could feel a smooth flow of nen surround her.

In her excitement, she missed a key and the melody faded, along with the flow of nen. That felt..nice. And strange. For a moment it was like my fingers were moving on their own. I was excited but felt very calm as well.

I don’t think I was truly playing it, if I’m honest.

[enchanting_melody]

*a serene smile graces melody's chiseled face as bisky plays the first few notes of her precious field in spring. perhaps she should have just asked her to play it earlier when she was trying to relax... there's no better way to it.*

perhaps our individual auras remained within our bodies. that would explain how i could still transform. i've adopted your abilities as well... shall i try yours?

[biscuit_krueger]

Please do! Biksy insists. I think it would be safe to say our minds are the only thing that transferred here.

She gently twirls the flute in her hand. Rolling it over and looking at her reflection. Im not sure I have any instruction to help you bring cookie out.

[enchanting_melody]

*melody giggles.* i suppose i'll just have to use my imagination.

*she retreats into bisky's body, closing her eyes to envision her aura billowing around her massive frame. it has a distinctly different consistency from her own, thick and lustrous compared to the fleeting gasps of an emitter. she concentrates on projecting it like she would her own, and finds that instead of breaking off from her body, something begins to form before her, taking on mass.*

a-am i doing it? *she asks, cracking open an eye to glance down at bisky.*

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky nods, thrilled to see her friend able to use her ability. Yes! You are doing perfect!

As she manifests, you should feel a portion of nen feel like it’s separating from you. Don’t panic. That is basically her core, as her Nen is my nen.

She’s simply a better masseuse than I could ever be! Bisky giggled.

[enchanting_melody]

that won't bother me! i'm an emitter, after all.

*she does as bisky instructs, letting the nen formation separate from the whole. when she opens her eyes again, it has shaped itself into a pink-haired woman. melody claps her hands together in triumph.*

i did it!

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky claps her hands for melody. Well done! The master masseuse is now here. She laughs.

Oh, Killua believed my ability to be useless be he couldn’t be more wrong! Every kind of massage at her fingertips. Able to cure fatigue and illness in a snap. Restoring your body in thirty minutes as though you had a perfect eight hours of sleep.

She’s how I usually go back to being small. But feel free to use her in whatever way you see fit.

[enchanting_melody]

*just hearing bisky brag about her has melody enchanted by the apparition, eager to try out her special ability.*

i think i could use a massage, if you please!

*with a kawaii salute, cookie-chan prances around her and gets to work. her toes have to lift off the ground to reach them, but soon she's digging her hands into melody's shoulders with surprising strength, using bisky's own aura to power her soothing ministrations. overcome immediately with the bliss of having her bulging muscles kneaded soft, melody sighs.*

wow, you weren't kidding... she's a professional!

[biscuit_krueger]

If you are ever feeling stiff or sore, you can always come by to my room. I promise you will leave feeling much better.

All the time I’m seeing hunters and nen users with abilities only for fighting. Bisky says with a small pop of her lips. Sure you’ve got your exorcists, but they are only a small few.

For enhancers, sure it makes sense, but take me. I’m a transmuter. As are hisoka and Killua. Aside from combat, there’s no practical use in my eyes.

[enchanting_melody]

you're right, this is far more practical. *melody sighs, eyes euphorically shut as cookie works her elbow into her spine.* my ability is, too, so i understand... i'd much prefer to settle a conflict by settling a heart with my song.

*her own heart is so calm right now that she doesn't realize she's slowly shrinking back into bisky's smaller form as the massage progresses.*

[biscuit_krueger]

Bisky watched perplexed. She had never actually watched her body shift back. Her eyes were often closed and relaxed when cookie would massage.

Now she truly sees how bizarre it is. Where she can go big proportionally, it’s not the same for being small. Cookie focuses on limbs first, before going to hands and and feet and finally the head. Before returning to the torso. To see the mismatched large and small pieces was like something of a video game.

I’m not sure mine is meant for settling conflicts either. she says finally. It’s good for getting stronger faster. But I don’t even use it for that anymore. She is just the best way to relax in the world for me.

[enchanting_melody]

hmmm... *melody hums, barely able to focus on bisky's soft voice in her state of euphoria. by the time cookie finishes her massage, she's back to her smaller form, face to face with her own body again. she blinks down at her dainty hands, then claps them together and twists around to praise cookie-chan.*

incredible!
