Mind Meld

Something tells you that bonding with your current host is the better option, rather than retaining the ability to surf from human to human, so you begin to grow. Thin stalks of slugflesh slide into the folds and crevasses of Kylie's human brain, displacing the slime that you had used to communicate and conquer her mind not long ago. As the vine-like bits of flesh take root, you find yourself fighting for control over Kylie; it seems that her concusness is still present, and quite furious with being made into a redundant presence in her own head. Suddenly what should have been a simple finishing of the job has become the fight of your very existence, and the body both of you are fighting over crumples to the ground convulsing.

You feel the control you've had over Kylie slip, as neurons saturated with your slime push back against your control - indeed, you can feel commands coming back that compel you to surrender, but you ignore those for now, resisting Kylie's attempts to subdue you. As the fight continues, it's increasingly apparant that this struggle could go either way at any minute...
