Combine further than just mixing bodies

The prospect of being fully encased in such a beautiful body was maybe still a bit too much. "I don't know... this is all so new. And it is so many unknowns. Chloe, if I had your confidence, maybe, but..."

You and the other two were silent for a moment. Zoe and Chloe seemed to need to take some time to process some thoughts, but they almost desperately wanted you to combine with them, so Chloe was willing to consider ideas that hadn't really ever been considered before.

"Well, what if... and this is a big, big if, by the way, I have no idea that it will work... but. What if I synchronized our minds?"

Zoe looked down, puzzled. "You can do that?"

"I mean, maybe!" Chloe quickly responded. "If Emily's so concerned about being of the right mind to wear us, if we're giving her our bodies to use as she sees fit, why not our minds as well?"

You blinked in surprise and confusion. "I don't want you two to, like, die or anything just so I can have your thoughts or something."

Chloe snickered. "Nothing like that. No dying, only... a really great bond. Like we're all ingredients mixing together to make something more than the sum of our parts. Zoe and I can't do that, but with the human brain at the core and my slime as the connection... I'm basically a walking brain, not to brag. But my slime's cells all have their own neuron clusters, lots of redundancies in case I lose some but still. If I'm in your head, and I route my thoughts into you, and then got into Zoe, and routed her thoughts into you too..."

This sounded complex. Chloe used Zoe's arms to write on one of the whiteboards, as if a body with two faces in different places engineering a plan was a normal thing to happen in these offices.

The diagram Choe came up with was a mixture of colors, as you were represented in blue, Zoe in red, and Chloe in green. The red and blue layers were simple, you were just inside Zoe. But there was green everywhere... inside you, inside Zoe, outside Zoe, outside but inside Zoe...

"I can make this work. I think. I don't think it will hurt to try, but you'll just need to be patient with me. Zoe, open up? And then Emily, if you're on board, climb inside. Don't close up just yet once she's in though."

Zoe slowly unfurled, herself a mixture of intrigue and concern. This was a complex undertaking for the two, but it was something that they felt so strongly about, having you in their mix, that they were willing to combine their identities with you. Of course, you had to do the same, at least to a degree--but in your case, it was more like Zoe and Chloe were going to be augmenting you with their thoughts, memories, knowledge, and personalities. By virtue of you being the only one with a standard human brain, you were clearly to be the foundation for this new version of you.

You slowly stepped over, turning around as you slid your legs and arms into the open limbs, resting your torso in Zoe's body, as Chloe's slime wrapped around you first. "Let's try, at least."

Without hesitation, you became completely encapsulated in Chloe's slime, from head to toe. Some of her slime began to fill into your body through the mouth, a sensation you tried not to fight as you felt it happen. She traveled first into your stomach, then into your bloodstream, and you could feel the slime travel up higher and higher in your body again... until you felt a brain freeze.

And it was like a literal freeze! For a moment, it was like the world was on pause--there was no movement, no sound, you were just in this feedback loop of staring out at the office through a green tint over your eyes. You were aware, but you didn't panic. After all, your ability to respond was likewise frozen. Soon, memories began to pop up in your head, coming to the fore with astounding clarity. You could see birthdays, your graduation from high school, times you spent with friends and family. Some of your greatest achievements, some of your more embarrassing, personal thoughts, they were on display for not just you, you realized. You only hoped the two weren't going to change their mind after peeking into the depths of your past...

And then everything changed. The memories you began to see were not yours. You saw first-hand the memories of a green slime, so hard to perceive from a two-eyed human perspective as Zoe saw in all directions at once. You saw her in the lab, partaking in experiments, you felt her body change shape into a humanoid for the first time, as she gained enough knowledge to communicate with others. You felt her fear when funding was cut to the research project she was created from, and then her elation at being able to remain at Hideki Labs. You saw her spending time with Zoe...

Chloe's slime had thoroughly saturated your body and mind by then, and it had moved on to doing the same with Zoe. She began life looking vaguely like a human, but you could feel her sadness at being rather monstrous for the first year of her life, looking more like exposed muscle than a fully realized human. Her adaptive exterior eventually grew in, and you felt her relief that she could blend in. You felt her desire and need to be worn by others, encasing men and women who were all interested in her abilities, but paid her little mind beyond that. She was used to being considered little more than an accessory for someone else, so when the project lost funding, it was a bit of a relief for her.

The two went on to get their doctorates together, you saw clearly the important day where they graduated. It was a struggle, when they both needed hosts some of the time to survive or blend in, but they had a handful of Hideki employees who served as hosts, usually in exchange for favors. Their life and existence had felt so alien to you up to this point. Then, the memories focused on you.

Zoe was more willing to admit it, but Chloe's memories didn't lie. Both were enamored with you after they read your reports. They felt like you understood them through the work that they had done, and then they spent easily the past year finding ways to get to know you better. Some of the methods were surprising--they often appeared like other people you had brief interactions with, but they had trouble working up the courage to talk at you in length. It was definitely the first time they felt something you recognized as attraction, and then love. You felt their love for you, and it washed over you. This was not some chance encounter, they'd long been preparing to find some way to fulfill their purpose via you, as the best way they could think of to express their love. And now they were going one step beyond, not simply becoming a part of your body, they were becoming a part of you, and you of them. The three minds, as they came to this realization, felt immediately calm, content.

The bodysuit began to close up around you, but it wasn't because of Zoe taking initiative. You, or at least this new extension of you, were controlling that movement. You controlled the slime around you, able to make it ripple and move, keeping some slime layered in you, outside you, and some outside of the bodysuit, which began to form clothes. You could just think of clothes, and the slime responded with ease, forming a green dress that covered your body. You felt the bodysuit close up, you felt the parts interlock as you fully sealed up, you felt it compress whatever was inside to the shape on the outside.

You glanced into the mirror, smiling softly as you looked at yourself. There weren't any other voices, everything was silent, but nothing needed to be spoken, as you ran your hand along your stomach, and up through your hair. This all felt familiar, you understood every little oddity or quirk that your new unified body possessed, and you grasped not just what you now were, but who you were.

You were Emily, and you were whole.
