Home and Work Pt 3

"Uwah?"

Dave smiled. "How are you today, Casca?"

Casca stared at him blankly from across the room. "Huh," she said holding the teddy bear he'd brought her last time.

Dave nodded. "Do you like the bear, Casca? That makes me happy."

"Gah," she said squeezing the bear tightly to her.

"That's good," he said coming a little closer then crouching down to her level trying his best to not be intimidating. "You can keep it. I'll make sure we put it with your things." He sat on the floor. "Casca... well we'll be starting to change you soon... like I talked with you about last time?"

She stared at him vacantly, drooling.

He nodded and started reaching for his handkerchief. "That's right. I know things have been hard for you. I don't want you to worry. I'll wirk hard to make you better and I think this will all work out in the end." He unfolded the handkerchief and then slowly leaned forward to wipe her face. I have a nice home for you. I think you can be happy there-"

"Waaaaahhh!" She started to freak out and panic as he had come closer. She flailed her arms and legs like last time. But unlike last time she dropped the bear that she hadn't had and this time she'd managed to punch his face.

Dave didn't react exceot to catch her hand. "It's okay. Just a little blood. You're still pretty strong. I got some to spare so... don't worry about that okay?" He tried his best to smile just for her. "I'll go. I didn't want to upset you. I just... I wanted... needed to promise you. I promise to take care of you. I promise to find away to make you happy. To make you whole and better yet to give you strength. So strong enough to never have that happen to you again."

"MAAAaaaaaah." She cried trying to get away from him. Kicking at him until he picked up the teddy bear.

He squeezed her hand then gently pried her fingers open. "I promise. A home full of love for you." He put the Teddy Bear in her hand. So they were holding it together. She seemed to settle down. Holding hands on the bear at arms length.

"Pahba?" She muttered watching him cry.

He nodded. "I promise you, Casca... you won't remember it, but I will and... good bye..."

"Hello, Dr Quinzel."

Harleen shook her head taking of her glasses. "Harls is fine, Saki. We'll be living together soon. We will be starting the process soon so we wanted to check on ya. See if ya had any last minute concerns or requirements-"

"I-Is David coming?" She asked.

Harley shook her head. "I can have come visit you if that's what you want but right now he's with another patient. She'll be getting a very similar but different job from yours... she's... well..."

Saki swallowed. "She's worse than me?"

Harley shook her head. "If i put those glasses on to be Dr. Quinzel I'd tell you that isn't how it works. Can't talk about patients. It's different for everyone, blah blah blah... but yeah she's got it worse. You at least had the sanity to try end it... her experience. It broke her. She's a mighty kick ass warrior... but her **** in front of the man she loved by the man she trusted while everyone and everything that meant anything to her was "sacrificed" in a demonic ritual... has mentally regressed her to baby talk and fits because she can't escape the trauma. It's fucking worse..." she wipped her eyes and smiled at her. "But we're gonna do everything we can to fix it for the both of ya!"

Saki smiled. She was wiping at her eyes too. "And he's in there promising everything will be better to her isn't he?" Seeing Harley nod she did too smiling. "Thank you then! Fir both of us! We appreciate it, Harls!"

Harley sniffed smiling. Saki was a good person and passed her the tablet. "So these are all the changes we worked up based on yer requests. We just wanted to double check that all of this is fine by you. See if you changed your mind or had any last requests or thoughts. If not we'll just go ahead in a little bit and-"

"Uhm... actually can I change my mind about a few things I've been thinking over?" Saki asked.

Harley nodded and came around the table to sit next to her. "Absolutely! Tell me whatcha want!"

Saki looked at all the changes. "I don't care about the physical stuff. It's... strange to think I'll look like this but that's fine by me... but the mental stuff..."

Harley blinked. "What is it? Anythings fine within reason."

Saki smiled and pointed at a value blushing. "Push this a little bit higher?"

Harley laughed and made an adjust. "You got it babe! How's this?"

Saki blushed and looked at her. "Maybe a little bit more?"

Harley grinned. "You got it!" She adjusted the value even more and whistled. "Yah know we aughta adjust the pleasure/sensitivity matrix to match it if yah want to have your sex drive that high. We can increase yer constitution, endurance and fortitude too if yah want to be a sex bomb."

Saki nodded blushing. "Yeah... I want that... it'll be with him right?"

Harley kisses her cheek and made appropriate adjustments. "It'll be with us. Does that bother you?"

Saki blinked then laughed. "Not a bit! I love sex! I actually like it... a bit "wild" too."

Harley grinned. "Me too! I gotta a bad girl/good girl kink myself. Don't worry Dave's good like that. He'll indulge just about whatever ya like if it makes you feel good. But he doesn't like hurting people. He's not a sadist. He won't be cruel or mean to ya. And we don't use any addictive **** or stuff so no worries there... not that you'll need it. You sure about this?"

Saki nodded. "Actually talking with you made me even more sure... and two more things?"

Harley nodded. "Sure whatcha want?"

Saki nodded. "Show me the tapes. I want her to know I chose this. All of this. For us. Let her keep the name "Saki" too. I... I want to forget the details. Have it be a fading bad dream. But I don't want to forget it happened. I think... I think we'll appreciate what we have even more in our new life."

Harley nods. "If you're sure? You might have... "bad dreams" occasionally and we really do want you to happy but ultimately it's your decision." Seeing Saki nod she notes down that she'll keep the name "Saki" crossing out Dave's name change though she noted she doesn't want to be a "Yoshida" and she wants to watch all the footage they've recorded including this moment. "And the other thing?"

Saki blushed. "Help me... fall in love with him?"

"Awwww!" Harley said smiling. "We can do that but like I said it's an "us" situation. You good with that?"

Saki smiled nodding. "I... was happiest when I was in love... I chose so badly though. The only good thing about that asshole Hayato was the sex and then I got even better sex than him... but I still thought I loved the jerk... but that's when I was happiest. I want to love a good guy this time. Be a bit of a nympho without the need for ****... and this body y'all picked and then let me design? It's built for fucking."

Harley laughed. "Even more so now and that's what their race is like anyway! But we "designed" her also to be like you were. A sweet, diligent girl and you want her to be a romantic now?"

Saki nodded. "Oh yes, please?"

Harley grinned and made the adjustment. "Done! There ya go. Look her over... this'll be you unless you change your mind." Harley smiled. "Gotta say I'm looking forward to little romantic, nympho maid Saki living with us. Shit some of these changes you chose? Not gonna lie. I am kinda jealous but I'm looking forward to having you play with us!"

Saki grinned. "I'm kinda looking forward to it myself! Can't believe that he wants that look though. It kinda makes me happy."

Harley nodded. "Oh he definitely likes the way you looked before. He thought you were a beauty before the changes. Trust me you were a cutie. And now you'll be a little knock out!"

Saki smiles. "Thanks... I really appreciate everything you're doing for me... the other girl's too! Take good care of us, 'kay?"

Harley hugged Saki. "You betcha we will! We're gonna work hard to give ya a wonderful home for all our sakes!"

"Hi Dave!" "Hello..."

Dave smiled. "Hi Twilight. Hi Midnight. Just checking in to see how you ladies are doing?"

"We're fine- oh! What happened to your face?" Twilight asked concerned.

Dave smiled. "One of the other patients were trying to help. She... had a really bad story that messed her up bad mentally. She has fits and struck me unintentionally. She is barely cognizant of the world around her thanks to her trauma. We're going to try our best to fix that. Make it so she's strong enough to overcome anything like that again."

Twilight smiles and Dave noticed even Midnight had slight smile. She appreciated that he'd make them stronger in a way too rather than weaker.

"So how's it coming along with you two?" He asked.

Twilight nodded. "We're still getting to understand one another better."

"But we looked over the tablet you left us and have agreed on a few things," Midnight added showing him.

Dave looked over the changes they've requested. "I see. You could ask for more you know? This isn't much."

Twilight looked nervous but Dave smiled as Midnight patted her hand reassuringly which was a big change and said, "We want it to feel... natural. How will the process work afterwards?"

Dave smiled. "Well you'll retain all your memories for one but you'll also retain both your veiw points of them. There will be an adjustment period as your new "self" settles. We'll keep you here and monitor you during that period. It could take no time at akl or it might even take a week or two but usually the process only takes a few days."

Twilight tilts her head. "You'll keep us here for that time? Why's that if you don't mind my asking?"

Dave smiles. "I don't mind at all! Every fusion or merging is a little different. For some the process goes extremely quickly and their new sense of "self" settles and solidifies into something stable quickly. For others it takes a bit longer especially if they're both strong-willed and very different. They might feel like one person one moment and then the other the next and then the "new" persona in yet another moment."

He sighed. "It can be somewhat stressful. A lot of people in other places that aren't here will have their characters changed drastically through fusions like you'll get or drastic modifications, then immediately take them to into their new home. Introducing an unfamiliar setting and environment like that creates even more stress though and can cause greater levels of distress. Here is a neutral location where we specialize in monitoring the changes and the patient characters mental and physical well-being, give the characters support and a safe space to settle with access to professional specialists who provide care through out the adjustment period. Owners can visit with their characters and either begin the bonding process if they're new or give them their support through their recovery. We take the hospital approach. We, and responsible owners who care about their characters well-being, want the characters to be healthy, alleviate any distress, monitor their condition and provide care and even follow-ups/check-ups as needed with clients and patients."

Twilight was pleasantly surprised. "That's... comprehensive and very informative as well as reassuring. Thank you! You really like characters don't you?"

Dave nodded smiling. "Of course I do! My mother was one and I grew up with many different types."

"We watched and read the materials you recommended," Midnight said. "They really explain a fair bit about Characters and Prime and hiw things are here. I won't lie. Some of it is shocking... but knowing that there are people who think like you do is a bit reassuring and helpful for putting it all into perspective. I feel... better about this."

Twilight nodded. "I do as well! It's... reassuring and comforting."

Dave's phone made a signal. Checking it he see's it's Harleen telling him the specialist from Rein Corp they contracted has arrived. "I have to go. Duty calls. Is there anything else I can help with or get for you two?"

They shook their heads but Midnight surprised him. "Good luck and do your best," she smiled slightly. Twilight was surprised as well but nodded smiling as well. "Yes and Thank you for checking on us!"

Dave smiled rising. "It was my pleasure ladies and thank you. I will!"

"You're welcome!" They said in unison.

"I like this one but it's a bit... revealing?"

Tink smiled at Hilda in the bikini. "We can look at others if you like but that's a bikini. They're meant to be a bit revealing. Believe me they get much skimpier than that. If it helps though you look fabulous!"

"I agree!" Melfina said looking at Hilda in the black bikini. "I think I want to try a string bikini too!" She looked thoughtful though. "How "revealing" do they get Tink? J-Just for curiosities sake!"

Tink grinned. "Do you really want to see?"

Melfina and Hilda gulped but nodded slowly. Tink shrugged and hit a button.

"Wow..." Melfina said as Hilda cried out "W-What? Tink! I didn't say I wanted to try wearing one!" She felt embarrassed looking at herself in the- the- "What even is this?"

"Micro bikini," Tink smirked. "Theres even more revealing ones than that out there. And you're the one on the platform. Relax Hilda. It's just us girls here naked anyway so you might as well try it on. You don't have to get it. Infact like Harls said last night if you wanted to you can swim or prance about the house wearing nothing at all if you like! I wouldn't recommend somethings like cooking certain dishes naked but naked apron is a popular look Melfina." She hits a button and Hilda is wearing a frilly apron as her tiny swimsuit now disappeared.

Melfina blushes as Hilda sputters. "Thinking about wearing something like that... I don't think I could!"

Tink nods and changes Hilda back to her original suit. "And no one is saying any of you have too. You bith can have whatever makes you comfortable. That's what we all want for you." But she smirks again. "This is more about how sexy you want to be! Can you imagine the look on Dave's face seeing you in just a apron, Mel? Or you in a tiny swimsuit Hilda? You've got a great figure but that princess get up covers so much if it it's a bit if a shame. Of course since he's already seen you naked he's going to get excited no matter what either of you wear!" She watches them blushing. "This is something to consider for the future. What and how you'd like to entice him... drive him wild! And you both can come to Harls and I for advice about that anytime! We want you to succeed in your pursuit!"

"Tink!" Melfina said smiling.

Hilda smiled too remembering what Tink had shared about her own flaws with her. She stepped of the platform to kiss Tink on the cheek. "Thank you Tink. Thank you for being a very, good friend. You're wonderful!"

Melfina did the same. "You really are the best! We love you, Tink!"

Tink blushed but giggled happily. "Awwww... thanks Hilda, Mel! I love you both too!"

Hilda stepped back on the platform and the bikini reappeared. She smiled. "Maybe just a smidgen smaller?"

Tink grinned calling up some selections for her perusal. "Just a bit? You got it! How about some of these?"
