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.*

*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!

[biscuit_krueger]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Bisky laughs. Sometimes it’s like she’s more magician than masseuse.

Maybe we should open up our own little spa. She said in wonder. With both of our abilities together people would come in and leave feeling as if they were a new person. Reborn!

We would probably find ourselves with more money than we would know what to do with. She snickers half joking.

[enchanting_melody]

*melody laughs, standing up and stretching, her muscles loose and refreshed.* forget being hunters, we've got a new profession on our hands!

*glancing over her shoulder, her smile turns bittersweet at the sight of the open door.*

shall i give you back your body now?

[biscuit_krueger]

Feeling ready to go? Just when I was starting to get used to your exceptional hearing. Bisky twirls a finger through on of melodys brown locks on her shoulder. She had to admit, there was a sense of ease hearing the gentle sound of their heartbeats.

Though, I think it will be nice to be back in our own bodies. Like returning home from a vacation. She giggles. She steps over to melody and hugs her lightly.

I know it wasn’t the intention when we came in here, but thank you for letting me experience what it’s like in your shoes.

[enchanting_melody]

*melody hugs bisky in return, marveling at the feeling of wrapping her arms around her own back and patting it gently, feeling like she's in two places at once.*

i have to thank you, too. i've learned more about you here than even your heartbeat could tell me.

*she pulls away with a smile, holding both of bisky's hands. she feels fonder of both her friend and herself, somehow, after experiencing what it's like to live as one another.*

let's head back to the airship.
