[IC] Fateful Convergence

[Vocalia]

The 'other Hayley', now physically distinct from the blonde, walked towards Vincent, oblivious to his stupor and lust running wild inside his head. "I do not understand the context of your word, but I will assume that my current form is satisfactory to your preference, given that you have not voiced any dissent or objection thus far. Do you wish to perform a physical examination to assess the viability and working condition of this humanoid form?" At this point, a golden opportunity was presented to Vincent, an opportunity to relish his dream of having a woman closely matching his ideal view within his grasp, free for him to touch with impunity.

[Daxam]

"A-a-a-are you asking m-m-me to touch you?" Vincent asks, his eyes traveling up and down the 'other Hayley's' body, spending more time in certain areas below her neck than others. Reaching out with a shaking hand, he gently touches his fingertips to her cheek, feeling the smooth flesh press against his skin. Taking a few steps forward, he slowly wraps his arms around her and pulls her close, deciding to feel as much as he could all at once. "It's perfect," he whispers, his hands gliding across her back as they travel downwards.

[Vocalia]

The 'other Hayley' silently observed Vincent's reactions, taking notes on where he was looking at, what he was touching and his overall reactions to her physical form. She didn't appear to feel any sort of discomfort from having the ecstatic psycho grope her at every part of her body that he desired. Given that she had no concept of emotion or shame to begin with, this shouldn't be surprising to him in any way. "Thank you for your brief compliment," she replied, lowering the volume of her voice so as not to distract him from his 'physical examination'. "Do you wish to assign a codename to me? While I lack names to my identity, a temporary codename will allow us to communicate easier and reduce time lag associated with information relay between different entities."

[Daxam]

Vincent closes his eyes, allowing his hands to roam wherever they felt like, no matter how intimate the area, and nuzzles his mouth and nose against the side of her neck. After a few moments of thought, he whispers, "Alexis. I've always found that name to be as sexy as how you look right now. It only fits, if you ask me." Backing away, he keeps one hand where it was while the other cups her cheek. Slowly, he leans forward and, just as his lips are about to touch hers, whispers, "What do you think of that name, my goddess?"

[Vocalia]

"Alexis is an acceptable name and I will adopt it as my codename, effective immediately," the raven-haired woman replied, cautiously but curiously beginning to perform her own physical examination of Vincent's face and upper torso, which included touching his cheeks, arms and toned chest. "You seem to have found my physical form to be strongly acceptable, but I have to ask: why did you wish to refer to me as a heavenly deity?"

[Daxam]

"Huh?" Vincent asks, continuing his thorough examination of Alexis' body, not wanting to pull himself way, ever. "I called you a goddess," he whispers, pulling her even closer to himself as he begins kissing her neck, "because you look like one: completely without any flaws whatsoever. You have an unearthly beauty that can't be found on earth, but only in the heavens above."

[Vocalia]

The 'other Hayley', now codenamed Alexis, found Vincent's reverence of her physical form to be a strange, yet intriguing fact. She never understood why humans revere higher power and associate all that was good and just with heaven. The concept of theism was lost to her as she was a being born to intellectual and factual reasoning. Still, as long as it caused him no visible harm, physically and mentally, she decided that it was inconsequential. Curiously, she had also started to touch and mimic what he did to her, as if she was learning from him.

[Daxam]

Feeling Alexis' soft touches on his own body, Vincent lets out a content sigh, his arms tightening around her, hands squeezing whatever they were touching. Then, as if Fate itself were conspiring against him, he feels his other self begin to stir. "Shit," he swears quietly. "Isaac's waking up. I wouldn't mind if he caught us like this, but I don't wanna hear him complain all day." After looking into Alexis' green eyes for a moment, he pulls her into a deep kiss. Moments later, he breaks away and whispers with a smirk, "Same time tonight, beautiful?"

[Vocalia]

Alexis clearly wasn't expecting Vincent to pull her into a kiss, let alone one so deep that it caught her off-guard. Putting her hand on her lips, she seemed to be startled for a bit before regaining her composure and replying, "... Affirmative." Closing her eyes, her humanoid shape faded away from Vincent sight as she made a tactical retreat to Hayley's body, now back with more unanswered questions of her own.

[Daxam]

As the first rays of sunlight begin streaming into Isaac's face through the window, he opens his eyes to find that he was looking into the sleeping face of Hayley. After getting over his initial surprise, he remembers the previous day and smiles. Good morning, Isaac! Vincent cheerily says, making Isaac jump slightly in surprise. ...Hey, he eventually says. [/i]What's up with you? You seem pretty happy this morning.[/i] Vincent chuckles and replies, Oh, guess I'm just in a good mood. Shaking his head, Isaac slowly climbs out of bed, doing his best not to disturb his girlfriend, and heads into the bathroom after getting his clothes and toiletries.

[Vocalia]

Hayley stirred not long after Isaac had left the room. Groggily yawning and looking around, she was taken by surprise by the room arrangement until she recalled what happened last night. With vivid blushes on her cheek, she hopped off the bed and looked around, wondering where Isaac was. "Probably awake already," she mumbled to herself, stretching her arms drowsily. "Perhaps a thorough shower would help your body return to an active state," Alexis replied, sounding somewhat puzzled. "Morning, sunshine. A bit odd that my head doesn't feel stuffed in right now. Are you giving me a holiday?" she joked, although slightly surprised with her reply as she made her way into the kitchen. "I was merely conducting a more personal observation last night.

[Daxam]

A few minutes later, Isaac steps out of the bathroom, pulling his shirt over his head before he finishes wiping his hair. "Morning," Isaac says upon seeing Hayley in the kitchen. Walking up to her, he gives her a kiss and says, "You know, strangest thing happened when I woke up: Vincent wished me a good morning and he was happy. He won't tell me why he's so happy. Instead, he just says that he might've figured out who the woman of his dreams is."

[Vocalia]

"Really? Well, that's a miracle if I've ever heard of one!" Hayley replied with equal amount of surprise, but nonetheless held no amount of ill-will to Vincent's happiness. She was quite relieved to know that the psychotic other personality did have a strong semblance of humanity, regardless of how crude or downright chauvinistic it was. "I do have to wonder what sort of woman is ideal for him. Probably one as insane, but I could imagine him going gung-ho after someone with a body of a Spanish guitar,"

[Daxam]

And it is one sexy guitar! Vincent cries jubilantly. Shaking his head, but grinning all the same, Isaac sits down at the counter and says, "If only we could find someone like that, though. Maybe it'd make him calm down at least a little." Not a chance, buddy! Vincent proclaims. Sighing, Isaac changes the topic and asks, "So, what're we having for breakfast? Or do you wanna jump in the shower while I take care of it?"

[Vocalia]

Hayley thought about his suggestion before shrugging, "Eh, you know what? Let me prepare you something while you relax and wait. You've been cooking way too often," she said with a chuckle and gently punched Isaac's shoulder. "Besides, I've slept in your room last night, so don't you think this would be a good time for me to repay the favor?" The blonde smiled and began pushing Isaac towards his seat near the table, intent on making sure that he got himself a nice brief break from all his household duties.

[Daxam]

"If anything, I should be repaying you for spending the night with me," Isaac replies. "It was getting pretty lonely and I needed some company that wasn't Vincent. You're my girlfriend, so it only stands to reason why I'd wanna share a bed with you." Smiling, he watches as Hayley begins making breakfast. "So, what are we having?" he asks, leaning forward in his seat to get a better look at what she was making.

[Vocalia]

Right on her prep side was servings of scrambled eggs with fresh tomatoes, followed by baked potatoes in the making. "It's not much, but I hope you like it," Hayley replied somewhat shyly, unsure if Isaac would welcome the slight change in menu. "I'm just bored of making bacons and sausages most of the time, so I figured we could do something different. I just hope I don't end up poisoning you first thing in the morning..." Hayley's desire to please Isaac was slowly becoming more pronounced, but she found herself facing no reprimand from her 'other self' for her behavior, much to her relief.

[Daxam]

Smelling the eggs, tomatoes, and potatoes, Isaac feels his mouth begin to water. "It smells delicious," he says while Vincent keeps going on and on about his dream girl. "You have to give yourself more credit," he says after Hayley voices her hopes that she didn't give him food poisoning. "You really are a great cook, Hayley," he adds with a smile. "I mean it."

[Vocalia]

Smiling timidly, Hayley mustered a timid "Thanks." as she worked on their breakfast, unaware of the chatter Vincent was subjecting Isaac to. Much to her relief, the potatoes were done in an hour, pipping hot and well-done. Sliding the cooked potatoes onto each plate, she generously poured baked beans on top of the baked potatoes and carried the finished servings onto the table. "Be careful. The potato is still very hot. You don't wanna burn your tongue with it," she said to him as she poured herself a glass of milk. "Any drinks you'd like?"

[Daxam]

"I'll take some milk, too," Isaac replies with a smile, turning to his food only after Hayley returns with their drinks. Taking a bite of the potato and beans, Isaac grins and says, "I was right: you do underestimate yourself. This is delicious!" Vincent, true to his personality, stops talking about his dream girl's bust-hip ratio at the mention of food and says, Ooh, potatoes! Lemme try, I want some! Taking his next bite, he lets Vincent have a taste and is met with, You're right. Hayley's a damn good cook!
