[Broke Dumbass.] Aurora commented on Johnny's financial situation.
"God, you are so annoying, you know that?" Johnny said to the harsh voice in his head while inspecting his stats. 'Only 201 manipulation points. Now the real question is… do I use it on Vanessa or Samantha?'
Pondering for a second, he decided to save them to use when he saw them next. 'I'll wait until I actually see the girl before using them. Don't wanna waste points when I don't even know if I'm going to see them.'
"Say… Aurora." John called out.
[What is it dumbass?] She replied as rudely as ever.
"You said something about the more familiar a person is with something, the easier it is to manipulate them in that way correct?" He asked.
[Yes I already told you this.]
"Well… does it also work for me? If I am more familiar with the person, will it cost less to manipulate their perception of me?" John theorized.
[I suppose even a dumbass can form a conscious thought every once in a while…]
"Wait so it does work?! That's great! This means I'm better off going after Samantha since we've already been on a date and have kissed multiple times. But what should I change…." Johnny thought coming up with ideas…
***
Later that day, Johnny was walking down to the communal laundry room in the apartment complex. 'I hate doing laundry, but I definitely won't escape being a loser if I stink all the time.' He thought as he walked through the hallway.
[You got that right dumbass.] Aurora said briefly.
Rolling his eyes and ignoring her, Johnny opened the door to the laundry room, only to be surprised at what he saw within.
Sitting next to one of the dryers, was none other than Samantha. She was wearing soft purple pajamas, her perky nipples poking through the thin fabric. Her hair was sloppily put up in a bun, giving her a kind of cozy look one would only see if they lived with her.
'Today is my lucky day.' Johnny thought getting excited at this unexpected but welcome development.
He entered the room and sat his clothes next to a washing machine nearest to Samantha and put his clothes in.
She had yet to notice his presence as her attention was on her phone, leaving him some time to think about what to do.
'Should I change something about her common sense right now? I've already changed like 4 things, but I still feel like I won't be able to have sex with her yet.' Johnny thought after putting his clothes in the washer.
After that, he grabbed a nearby chair and moved it in front of Samantha.
When he did, Samantha suddenly looked up from her phone and noticed the person now standing across from her.
"Johnny? What brings you down here?" She said with a smile, getting up to greet him.
Locking lips with the silver-haired woman, Johnny let his mind drift away in their succulent taste. However, before he could lose himself too much, Samantha pulled away, leaving him to only curse himself for not changing something else.
Samantha sat back down and stared at Johnny with relaxed eyes. It almost seemed like she had known Johnny her whole life…
'Not the reaction I was expecting… I guess I did change her to not feel uncomfortable around me at all, so it makes sense…' He thought.
"Oh, I just had some laundry to do. Say, do you mind showing me your boobs while we talk?" He asked, holding back a chuckle as such a request was completely ludicrous.
"Oh certainly!" She said, unbuttoning her blouse without batting an eye at the request. 'His greeting still makes me feel so amazing. I wish I could kiss him some more.'
Her boobs were now on full display, Johnny couldn't help but feel like a child on Christmas morning. 'This is the best gift ever. Thank you CSMS.' He thought as he stared at Samantha's pink nipples.
She didn't seem to mind, however, just sitting there with a smile waiting for Johnny to start up the conversation.
After a few moments of getting lost in her milk bags, Johnny spoke. "I really enjoyed our date the other day, would you perhaps like to go on another one?"
Remembering their date, Samantha didn't seem to mind the idea and said, "Sure! Did you have a place in mind?"
With an amused smile, Johnny replied. "Actually I was hoping we could just hang out in your apartment and watch a movie or something."
Samantha thought for a second before speaking. "Yeah, we could do that. It would have to be tomorrow though. I'm very tired right now so after folding my laundry I'm going to bed."
With a big grin, Johnny said, "Tomorrow it is."
After those words, Johnny leaned back in his chair and began thinking. 'Tomorrow huh? That would be day 4/7 of the quest. Is there anything I can change that would get me laid before then?' He began thinking about what would be the most cost effective approach.
'It seems like the more conditions I add to something, the less Manipulation Points it costs. For instance, if I said she would have sex with me whenever I wanted, it would be very expensive. But if I said she would only have sex with me on her birthday, it would cost significantly less. With this being said, how can I use this quirk to my advantage during our next date?'
[Smart thinking, for a dumbass that is.] Aurora commented.
However, Samantha's dryer just finished, prompting her to get up and collect her clothes.
After she was done she turned to say farewell to Johnny.
"Bye, Johnny. I'll be looking forward to our date tomorrow!" She said with anticipation leaking from her voice.
"Goodbye Samantha…" Johnny said as he put his hands behind his head to think. 'I'm getting my dick wet tomorrow in one way or another for sure.'
