An unsure Alyx, a confident Jace, a happy Ellie

Jace shifted Alyx's weight in Ellie's lap, slowly but proudly swaying the shoulders back and forth of his borrowed body, before reaching down to the bottom of Ellie's shirt. "Let's get a little more skin visible, yeah?" Jace said through the speakers on the side of the ascend. When he said it, it was tinny and strange, like a walkie-talkie was directing Alyx's behavior. Alyx blushed, but there wasn't much she could do about it, as her hands slowly started to tug Ellie's shirt up. Ellie, for her part, lifted her arms up with an almost impatient eagerness, like she was ready to move right into the action.

"It's really weird, when I wasn't able to move at all, whatever Jace did, I was ready to just go with anything and it was thrilling. Being able to participate, even in this little way..." Alyx said, trailing off. "It's a little weird, isn't it? Ellie, what do you think? My body's ready to play sexy, and I certainly feel that burning inside like it's my own, but it's so bizarre to be a passenger like this. What do you think?"

"I dunno, maybe try some sexy talk to get into it?" Ellie asked. Jace didn't even seem to register that the two were talking, so adamantly focused on disrobing Ellie that the two could have a full conversation while he fell into the flow of undressing two women's bodies at the same time. Once Ellie's shirt was gone, Alyx suddenly found her hands reaching behind her, at the bra clasps, leaning her chest forward toward Ellie's face.

"W-well, I... I don't know what to say! I used to see your boobs all the time in gym class, this is the first time that seeing them excites me!" Alyx confessed, rather loudly.

Ellie rolled her eyes, and her gaze went a little lower, and she glanced at the cameras on the Ascend V2 unit. "Mind if we try a config setting? It'll help the atmosphere, I think. So Alyx can go back to being more of a spectator."

Jace was unsure what that meant, but soon Alyx's head was nodding, and Alyx was stammering again. "Wait, wait! What config? What are you going to do, Ellie? Don't I get a say?"

"You said twenty-four hours of whatever I want, Alyx," Jace was quick to remind her. With a frustrated sigh, she went quiet again.

Ellie quickly reached up to the headset, fiddling with some switches that had previously been hidden by the faceplate. "Let's see, I don't know what all of these do yet, but the V2 does give a lot more control. Let's try... this config. How's that?"

Jace felt the face go slack for a moment, before a bit of a static shock flowed through. Alyx's expression changed, suddenly looking far more aroused, eyes gazing lovingly at Ellie. "Well, this is weird," Alyx said, but she didn't say it in her typical snarky manner. Instead, it was breathy and soft, almost like she was saying it in a sexy way. Jace took a deep breath on her behalf, leaning Alyx's breasts closer to Ellie's face, and Ellie leaned forward, giving a nipple a soft lick, before lightly biting one of the nipples. "Ooh, careful there..!" Clearly, Alyx wanted to voice her concerns with the light pain of being nibbled on, but with the changes Ellie made, her voice sounded like she said it in a sexy, teasing way. "What's even going on now, Ellie?"

Ellie nuzzles the nipple with her nose, before looking up at Alyx's face. "...oh, right. So, that switch must have engaged Jace's facial control, but not completely. There are a bunch of settings on this thing, right? There's body-default which is where you're in control Alyx and Jace just gets the sensory data, or body-share, body-override, face-default, share and override... and mouth default, share, and override. Those settings must have been for face-override, but left the mouth in your control. Quite literally everything about you except your lips right now belongs to Jace."

That seemed to get Jace pretty excited, as he maneuvered Alyx's hands around to undo her bra next, making quick work of her garment and tossing it away, letting Ellie's D-cup chest bounce out, hands coming up to play with them. In the meantime, Ellie's hands were also starting to gain a little extra bravery, slipping into the panties of the shared body, causing Alyx to moan--she tried to say something, but the moan, evidently **** from Jace's side, prevented any sensible words from being formed. Jace was clearly enjoying puppeteering Alyx around, but Ellie wanted to go a little further, stopping her play to flip switches on the Ascend frame again. "Hey, Jace, can you say something now?"

Jace felt his lips tingle, and then he tried to talk. "What do you want me to say?" Suddenly his eyes went wide--or, Alyx's did, as his voice was also Alyx's! Alyx was now fully under Jace's control, merely a passenger in her own body as Jace leaned down to give Ellie a deep, passionate kiss in someone else's body.

As he broke away, an awestruck Ellie looked up into Alyx's eyes--technically Jace wasn't seeing through them, but he controlled them as they moved now in sync with the camera lenses on the Ascend unig, forcing Alyx to look wherever he wished. Ellie tickled a finger along one of Alyx's naked breasts. "I desperately want to keep doing this, but also... there's still a ton of stuff we could do with this tech. Do you want to try anything else with it? I bet Alyx would be game for anything right now, if she's feeling everything you want through her body. Like... I could drive Alyx to your place, and we could change who's wearing what helmets. Maybe Alyx tries piloting you around? Or, I could be in her body for a bit or yours, if you want--or vice versa. You could even, uh... I mean, I'd be okay if you wanted to try being me for a bit too, or if Alyx did... or, y'know, we stay here, keep having fun, you're either in partial or complete control of her form just like how it was, or how it is now..."

Ellie flipped a switch on the Ascend again, so Alyx could talk once more. With all three of them with at least enough agency to speak, they began to formulate a plan together for how to continue the night.
