Day 25a & 25b: Hive Mind Possession + Upgrade To A Better Body

"What's up?" Spencer groggily groaned, keeping his eyes shut as long as possible as he caressed the head that was resting on his chest. Feeling a weight fidget and adjust itself atop him, he couldn't help but let out a sigh and mentally brace himself in preparation to either clean up a mess, explain another element of humanity to his girlfriend, or, probably, both. "What'd you do, Yara?"

"I do not wish to answer." Yara answered quietly, causing Spencer to let out a groan.

"You know, in cases like this, if you do lie, it's less of a headache." Spencer sighed, forcing his eyes open. Yara's unblinking, emotionless face stared up at him from his chest, her body completely still on his chest, other than the gentle, rhythmic presses that came with her breathing. "Seriously, what'd you do, Yara?" He asked, groaning as Yara slowly averted her eyes. "Yara, what-"

"I do not like the neighbor." Yara robotically interjected.

"Which one this time?" Spencer asked, letting out a frustrated sigh as Yara continued to keep her eyes averted. "That college girl who I chat to every morning?"

"Yes. I dislike her." Yara answered.

"Gonna go out on a limb here, Yara; you're jealous." Spencer sighed, gently bringing a hand to Yara's cheek and, as gentle as could be, guided her gaze up towards him. "I told you, I get home from work just as she heads out for her morning jog; chatting with her is just a thing that's gonna happen. And... yeah, I'm gonna look at her ass. I'm human; that's... just a thing we do when there's something we like."

"Is this bottom-" Yara started to say, robotically shutting her mouth as Spencer's other hand gripped her ass.

"I've told you, it's not as big as hers, but I like it. I like it a lot." Spencer insisted, using Yara's ass as a glorified handle to slide her slightly upwards, to plant a quick kiss on her lips. "You know... jealousy is human, Yara. You know what that means?"

"I want another body." Yara said bluntly, slowly blinking as Spencer let out a sigh. "This one was damaged, one without-"

"I've told you this before, Yara. I can't bring you into work again; you're too big to fit in my pocket like this, and, weirdly enough, being a hospital janitor doesn't come with 'bring your girlfriend to work' days. And, ethically, you should... morally, if they're not gonna wake up no matter what, it's... not okay, but it's the least bad option." Spencer said calmly, gulping as Yara slowly averted her eyes again. "Yara... what did you do?"

"...An experiment." Yara quietly answered after a brief, very human, pause.

"An experiment that did what, Yara?" Spencer asked, his heartbeat increasing the longer Yara didn't answer. "Yara, what-"

"You held the belief that, if I possessed a non-comatose body, their consciousness would be extinguished. I had to determine if that was truly the case or not." Yara answered calmly, the sound of the front door opening reaching the bedroom as she finished saying the last syllable. Slowly, Yara refocused her unblinking gaze on Spencer, her face utterly emotionless, as his face ran through the gamut of expressions his mind was speeding through. "I have determined that, instead, this act results in their consciousness being incorporated into mine, becoming a part of me and allowing me to choose if they retain their individuality or not." Yara continued, finishing just as someone walked into the bedroom.

"Honestly, when I answered the knocking at my door and saw the 'robot girl' next-door, I thought you'd died or something." Julia, the neighbor, the objectively hot college girl nextdoor sighed as she took a seat at the edge of the bed. "And then when she vomited that... purple goop onto me, then that purple goop went into my mouth and nose and everything, I thought I was in a horror movie or something! But... a bit later, I felt her inside my head, and... it just kinda clicked, I guess? Hard to explain what it's like to become part of... something else, really."

"Due to the fact her brain was fully intact and uninjured, she is... less robotic." Yara said, sliding off of Spencer's body and sitting upright. "I assure you that I have not committed an act of murder or its equivalent. She is-"

"I'm still me, basically. But with like, a walkie-talkie with unlimited range inside my head. And if 'HQ' commands me to do something, I have to do it. Like wearing this little outfit, getting out of bed early, and walking on over." Julia explained, emphasizing the sports bra and short shorts she was wearing with some teasingly slow, flirty rubbing with her hands. "Did you think I didn't notice you staring every morning? And do you think I didn't like it, knowing you were practically drooling staring at my tight little bubble butt?"

"...Yara, are you influencing her or something to say all this?" Spencer asked, gulping as both Yara and Julia shook their heads in perfect sync. "Okay... so... what's the plan now?"

"I would like to watch you have sex." Yara said flatly, completely unfazed by the gentle, almost friendly slap on the cheek Julia sent her way.

"Nooooo, you're gonna join us, not sit in the cuck chair, you alien!" Julia chirped, the smile on her face turning into a pout as she suddenly turned her attention back to Spencer. "And I was TOTALLY right, by the way! Ever since you brought Yara home with you, I knew she was an alien or a robot or something! You could've told me; I wouldn't have cared before! I don't really care now!"

"Well-" Spencer began, getting cut off as Yara and Julia, in sync, gently clasped a hand over his mouth and exchanged a long, unblinking stare. After a while, long enough for Spencer to start to think that he was moments away from a pillow joining in to better smother him, the pair began to smile and quickly pulled their hands away. "Yara, you're smiling?! Why-"

"We just had a good, long chat about... some stuff." Julia answered with a devious-sounding chuckle. "Like... if you're an ass guy or a boob guy and some friends of mine with some big 'ol titties. And stuff like their address, if they're in a relationship already or not, and if they'd find you handsome or not."

"Not for hypothetical reasons." Yara chimed in, sliding towards the edge of the bed. "I will be back shortly. My experiment warrants more than one subject, doesn't it?"

"Wait, Yara, maybe-" Spencer started, his next words silenced by Julia's soft hand over his lips. A smiling, giggling Julia who slowly turned her phone screen around, to show Spencer a series of recent texts. "You don't want Yara to get some more bodies? Some... more voluptuous ones?" She purred, licking her lips as she leaned in close. "I'm technically Yara right now, you know. Your girlfriend. In a sexy body, with an ass you can't take your eyes off of. Right here, horny... getting some 'commands' to make sure you have a good time." Julia whispered, taking Yara's earlier spot, laying on top of Spencer's body. "You gonna let me give you a good time? Or am I gonna have to..." She whispered, trailing off with a giggle as she leaned her head right up next to Spencer's ear. "...Make you have a good time?"

"She has prepared her anus for anal intercourse in the past." Yara chimed in, earning a quick glance from Julia before the now red-faced college girl returned her focus to Spencer.

"Y-Yeah. You wanna fuck my ass? Ex was, uh... super into buttplugs and beads and all that, so if you wanna..." Julia stammered, clearing her throat as she trailed off. "...Well?" She asked, pulling her hand off of Spencer's lips with another gulp, quickly followed a gasp as Yara stretched over and slapped her ass. "HEY! DON'T YOU HAVE MY FRIENDS TO-"

"I would like to watch a bit longer." Yara said calmly, wearing the second-ever smile on what was now her first human host. Her second host, incorporated into her, could only roll her eyes and try to correct the mood she felt was ruined. And, in the back of her mind, began to dread what would happen if Yara gained a third, fourth, fifth, and so on and so forth hosts, probably all women that Yara determined Spencer would like... and would probably gawk at, with or without being another part of Yara...

Had a fun time writing this one, although I'm not sure how it ended up, honestly. I wanted Yara to bit "yandere-y", but not too much, as I wanted her to be an alien whose entire knowledge of humanity was from the damaged brain of a comatose woman, so things were missing and all jumbled up. So less her possessing someone because Spencer dared to look at them and more not really understanding her own powers or even what the unknown feeling, jealousy, even was and that, if she got access to a more-functional brain, she might understand it better. And I didn't want it to be too dark, which is why I opted to make Yara's "incorporation" not result in completely "killing" the host, basically. Although, as a result, I'm not sure how much of a "true hive mind" this made it, although I definitely think Julia is a better host than Yara's first host was, with both Julia's ass and not being in a coma or anything. Would definitely be an interesting premise to expand upon, I think.

Worth noting too, that if you're a fan of "hivemind" girlfriends, there's some stuff out there that you might be a fan of. For example, a piece that I spotted while scrolling on twitter for today's art, by NOOGOOD222, with a piece (https://x.com/NOOGOOD222/status/2114161340357239153) that would've 100% been a favorite or an honorable mention today, if it wasn't just a coincidentally-timed piece... I think. There is also the series "Doukyo Suru Neneki" by the artist Date, which is a bit darker than my chapter, but is all about a slime... maybe an alien, not sure, that absorbs women into itself to basically make a harem for a guy.

Anyway, my favorite piece for today's prompt is by Cocoadian, who took possessing Vacant Vessel and made it cyberpunk, with all the cybernetic "quirks" that come with a cyborg body, such as detachable limbs (which they put a trigger warning for, so in good conscious I'm putting one here too) that I think REALLY elevate the piece:
