All of her senses were active, conveying the need for<em>immediacy </em>in response.  But Grendel didn't move and tried not to think.  The dying embers of shuddering pleasure were still crashing through her gently flexing body.<br/><br/>Spent and used, her critical self was, for once, unable to stop the sheer<em>satori </em>of surrender.  Just for once, she wasn't keeping the universe at bay but<em>joining </em>it.  Her eyes shone and blinked away tears.  The afterglow was almost gone for all that she would have given to keep it.<br/><br/>Grendel heard Eli's sweet voice over the comms, the cheap set was still able to convey his concern for her.  She would have fought a closemind mob not to disappoint him and believed she did once.  She sat up slowly, trying to stop present sensation from stealing the past's sweet memory.<br/><br/>She felt the dry air on her skin, all of her skin and cursed.  Tele-stripped again.  It had caused danger, embarrassment and, once or twice, a great introduction to strangers.  But her clothes were not nearby or shredded in the closed room.  It was as if they had disappeared.<em>No. That couldn't be.  I was tested.<br/></em><br/>But there was no real time to contemplate.  She got up and felt the twin tug of her enhanced breasts.  There was a least a weeks worth's of transition in the last minute.<em>How much has that emotional artifact changed me.  Did I <strong>want </strong>it that much?</em>The pain of her new anatomy hit next.  She remembered the teething pain when her wisdom teeth emerged.  Now there was even more protesting flesh having to move aside.  A slight abdominal cramping told Grendel her full transition to femininity was really beginning.<br/><br/>Time was wasting. Grendel grabbed the comm and whispered to Eli,<strong>"Sorry, Eli, I was just <em>coming</em>..."</strong>And then she giggled at the<em>double entendre</em>.  She then headed to Eli.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sorry for the usual delay, folks.<br/><br/>Grendel is pretty much female now to casual inspection.  Only the best of friends or skilled of medics might ken the very slight difference.<br/><br/>But you will get a fighting chance as Grendel is now <em>nekkid </em>(barring any clothing left where she was).  She doesn't have any real nudity taboo per se but does know that other Imperial citizens might (and that unexpected public nudity can be a clue to a psion's true nature given enough context.  She will look for clothing on the way to Eli and try to avoid others.  However, she doesn't have the easiest circumstances at this.  So I will say that anyone else (including Eli) can find her before she finds Eli.  So far all she is wearing is a com, nervous smile and slight 'ahem' evidence of her recent encounter's pleasure, noticed only if another character wishes.<br/><br/>I realize that I have not placed Grendel specifically at a location and that is not helping.  As soon as she is with another character, I will place Grendel at that location and keep her located from then on.<br/><br/>Right now, Grendel telepathic sensitivity is so boosted, just being in her proximity will have interesting effects.  But Grendel does not yet <em>know </em>that as she was alone when she Force-gasmed.  It should be a wonderful surprise for all concerned.  &gt;:)<br/></div></div>
