Answer
The cipher used is
Sharky's implementation of a Vigenere to encode textual Morse
First cipher:
Key: Vera
Vigenere:POINTLINE
Morse: A
Second cipher:
Key: succulent (this is a cryptic: def. delicious, "suck you audibly" = succu, "fast" = Lent)
Vigenere:DOTDASHDOTDOT
Morse: L
Third cipher:
Key: Abdul
Vigenere:THREEHYPHENS
Morse: O
Fourth cipher:
Key: Aioli (another cryptic: saucy = definition; mAId + hOLe + I)
Vigenere:DEEOHTEA
(D-O-T)
Morse: E
Now we've got the answer
ALOE (ha! Vera and succulent were even references to this answer)
