The Meetup

Another day in Rose's middle management HR job came and went without anything remarkable once again, little work was done as she spent the workday dreaming of the benefits of a greater bust, getting hit on by co-workers, being treated like a queen on dates, maybe even considered for a promotion in exchange for small favors for her boss.

As soon as 5 p.m. ticked around, Rose made the dash for her car, hastily plugging in the suspicious address to her Toyota's navigation system. An unnamed warehouse, way out of her town and in the heart of the inner city. Rose was unbothered, **** to make the most of this opportunity.

The suspicious messenger stood outside the address, adorned in a white lab coat and rounded spectacles, and gestured for Rose to move quickly and come inside. Somewhat comforted by his professional appearance, Rose exited her car and trudged across the pothole-ridden driveway to enter behind the scientist.

"Right, now that we're alone, and you're certain you weren't followed?”

Rose nodded

"Okay, good, I'm Dr. Kovatsky, I've moved here because, well, I've done some experiments that don't exactly align with the morals and values of my colleagues, but I think I'm really onto something that will truly help people.”

"You have me concerned Doctor, what exactly are we talking about here?”

"Well, I've found a way, non-surgically and non-invasively, to, well, conjoin people. I can take the body matter at a cellular level, and pair it to another, creating a sort of unified body for the two.”

"And why the fuck would anyone want that?”

Rose snapped in response

"Plenty of reasons, war veterans missing body parts, partners wanting to display total commitment to each other, sexual deviants you name it, or in your case, those that want to enhance their body by combining it with another. If I were to pair you with say, a woman with J cups but a flat rear, you would both combine those assets into a new, shared body, granted you'd only get control over half the body, or, some other kind of allocation I'm not entirely sure yet. But the point is, you can finally get the body you've dreamed of and even more.”

"Is it risky? Can it be undone? And better yet why should I trust you?”

Rose replied

"Look, I can't guarantee anything, but I've performed it on plenty of non-human subjects and they've stayed perfectly healthy, but I think the better question is are you going to be happy for the rest of your life, having given up this chance.”

Rose sighed deeply and asked to be shown to the lab, a gesture to which the doctor looked visibly relieved and excited.

"Right this way, Rose.”
