[IC] Fateful Convergence

[Vocalia]

Sighing with relief, Hayley bit into her share, musing with innocent surprise. "Huh, whaddya know? It's not as bad as I thought it would be." Now hungrily digging into her share of the breakfast, she couldn't help but notice how Isaac was enjoying his meal, a small smile visible on her face. "Hmm... I don't know what I want to do today-"

"I will insist that you stay at home and train again. Your mastery over your powers is anything but complete."

"Welp, nevermind... Looks like the 'other me' has some other ideas..." the blonde murmured, sounding somewhat lax, yet eager at the same time.

[Daxam]

I'm not surprised. She spent all of last night talking to me, so she didn't have time to help Hay-- Vincent says, stopping himself a little too late. Having realized what Vincent had said, Isaac stops eating, his brow creased in thought. Turning to Hayley, his voice more curious than angry, says, "Vincent just told me that the other you spent last night talking to him...May I ask her how she managed to do that?"

[Vocalia]

"What?" Hayley replied flatly, sounding both shocked and suspicious. Care to explain? she asked the unseen being, not wasting any minute thinking into Isaac's question. Her question was met with silence, if not for a few minutes. Feeling that coming clean would yield her better result than being silent, Alexis finally spoke up through Hayley's physical mouth, her distorted voice letting Isaac know who he was talking to. "I temporarily left Hayley's physical body to venture into yours, Isaac Ryder, upon which I came into contact with Vincent and began my own information update based on the observation I made during my stay. I left your physical body the moment your consciousness is deactivated from the natural dormancy state."

[Daxam]

Isaac looks at Hayley, or rather Hayley's 'other self,' for a few moments. For some reason, sensing something was off, he asks Vincent, Is that all? Isaac then gives Vincent control, obvious in the way he suddenly became rather fidgety. "Well...that's not the whole story..." he says before clearing his throat. Looking at Alexis, he asks, "You wanna tell them, Lexie, or should I?" Lexie? Isaac repeats, sounding rather surprised.

[Vocalia]

"Lexie?! Since when did you have a name?" Hayley asked, equally as surprised as Isaac was. Alexis remained silent for a while as she calculated and analyzed her current information before nodding quietly. "There is currently a need for both Isaac Ryder and Hayley Summerland to know about our previous interaction. I suggest we disclose our entire observations," she replied with a mechanical nod, her black-and-red eyes staring back at Vincent. Her green eyes would only appear in her physical form, which was why she retained her original eye colors whenever she took over Hayley's body.

[Daxam]

Vincent nods and, so Hayley can hear, says aloud, "I gave Lexie her name, which is actually Alexis, when she visited me last night while you two were sleeping. She came to find out more about me and mine and Isaac's relationship. While she was there, she was this black blob and agreed to...well, to take the form of the woman of my dreams if I agreed to help her protect the two of you." A few moments pass until Isaac asks, So...the tanned woman with the long black hair and green eyes...that was her? Nodding, Vincent says, "That was her." He then smirks and says to Alexis, "By the way, I'm not sure if I ever told you last night, but your body felt amazing!"

[Vocalia]

"Wait, WHAT?! What the hell did he do to you?!" Hayley asked again, now with more questions than answers under her belt. "Both Vincent and I took the initiative to perform physical examination to test my physical form's performance and detect any defects that I could repair. It would appear that my humanoid form was satisfactory to Vincent's assessment." "And, by that, you mean..." Debating on whether she should further disclose her encounter, Alexis then replied. "Yes, Vincent did perform physical examination on different parts of my humanoid body, including parts that human norms would consider to be important and private." She remained silent as Hayley screamed profanities upon profanities as a result of knowing what Vincent did.

[Daxam]

While Hayley reacted with outrage, Isaac was left speechless in shock. Eventually, he sighs and says, You really couldn't help yourself, could you Grinning, Vincent says, "Nope!" Having expected Hayley's reaction, although he couldn't see or hear it, he says, "At least it isn't like I groped you while you were sleeping. It all happened in my head!" His brow furrowing, he then says, "Wait, that didn't really come out right, did it? Makes it sound like I imagined the whole thing, which I know I didn't."

[Vocalia]

"If you desire a less ambiguous sentence, you can inform them that our encounter occurred within Isaac's realm of subconsciousness where you spend most of your time when not in control of the biological body," Alexis replied, sensing that Hayley had finally calmed down after venting her outrage. "Oh, who am I kidding? It's not like you feel any ounce of shame or pleasure anyway..."" The last remark left her puzzled, wondering what she could mean. "... Pleasure?" "Most humans would feel some sort of erotic pleasure when someone else touched the private parts of their body. It's hard to explain and I don't know if you can feel it or anything. Maybe your body is just a physical replica without all the unnecessary nerve endings and shit." "Does that mean that my humanoid body is incomplete?" she asked out loud.

[Daxam]

Isaac and Vincent were in the middle of arguing over whether or not Vincent was still in the wrong, seeing as how, according to Isaac, even though it wasn't Hayley, Vincent still felt up his girlfriend, whereas Vincent argued that there wasn't anything wrong with it when the woman in question was a completely different woman. Hearing Alexis, Vincent completely forgets about the argument and asks her, "What do you mean? It sure felt complete."

[Vocalia]

Looking back at Vincent, Alexis replied, "My operator stated that your previous conduct should have elicited a reflex response called 'pleasure'. However, I felt nothing when you touch my humanoid form. I neither felt apprehensive or ecstatic and my operator came to the conclusion that I am unable to experience 'pleasure'. Thus, to her observation, I am incomplete." She looked at Hayley's body briefly, trying to see what had allowed her to understand a concept that seemed so alien to her.

[Daxam]

Hearing Alexis say that she didn't feel any pleasure, Vincent's face falls. "Really?" he says. Suddenly, his grin returns as he says, "Well, guess I'll just try harder when we meet up tonight!" Tonight? Isaac says. You're meeting again tonight?! "Yep," Vincent replies, grinning. "It's gonna be awesome! If you still don't feel anything, I'll try taking it to the next level!" The next level? Isaac repeats before it suddenly dawns on him. You mean you're gonna try...you know... he says, to which Vincent answers, "You bet that's what I mean!"

[Vocalia]

Alexis was about to interrupt, letting Vincent know that her inability to feel pleasure wasn't his fault to begin with, when he suddenly proclaimed that he would 'take it to the next level' on their second meeting. "I do not understand," she replied, tilting her head to the side. "Fuck no!! You are NOT meeting him again tonight!!" Hayley exclaimed, knowing full well what Vincent had in mind. "Why?" Alexis asked back. "He wants to do more than just grope you like a piece of fruit!! This is just going too far!" Frustrated and outraged, Hayley was hell-bent on keeping him away from Alexis, whose name she found to be rather nice, and prevent any unwanted incidents between them. "It would appear that my operator strongly objects to your plan of action, whatever that could be." "Hell yeah, I strongly object!"

[Daxam]

Despite Isaac trying to talk him out of it, Vincent moves closer to Alexis and places a hand on her thigh. "Do you really need Hayley's permission, Lexie? I mean, you did visit me while she was sleeping. What's to stop you from doing it again?" Vincent, no! Isaac says firmly. This is going too far! Back off now or else I'll have to take control! Vincent replies, Try it. Then, to Alexis, he asks, "Why not just visit me tonight when Isaac and Hayley are sleeping and I'll show you what I'm talking about?"

[Vocalia]

"Alright! That's it!" Hayley, furious and frustrated by Vincent's blatant disregard for her opinion, began to forcefully pry control of her body off Alexis' control, but the latter seemed to actually fight back. Please allow me to allay your objections. I see no immediate need for physical confrontation, she said to the blonde as the two fought for control, leaving the normally formless being to breathe heavily as she tried to keep her body under control. "And then what? Let you run off again tonight and possibly have him fuck you to kingdom come?!" Seeing that she couldn't reason diplomatically, Alexis exerted her mastery over her powers to temporarily restrain Hayley while she held her body back under her complete control. "Vincent, my previous visit was entirely done through my own directive, but my primary directives still necessitates me to maintain Hayley Summerland's best interest in mind and keep her in satisfactory physical and mental states. Your suggestion has caused her great duress. As such, I must decline your offer to initiate this plan of action you wish to undertake."

[Daxam]

Shrugging, Vincent, with Isaac sighing in relief, sits back in his seat and says, "Alright, that's cool. I don't wanna put you in a more awkward position, so I'll just let it drop..." Smirking, he adds, "...for now, at least." Then, as if he never had control in the first place, he switches with Isaac, surprising him over how quickly he gave up control, especially after the fight he put up to maintain it. Turning to Alexis, he says to both her and Hayley, "Sorry about that. He, uh...tends to think with his brain down there rather than with the one in his head."

[Vocalia]

"A human only has one functioning brain inside his cranium, but your tone indicates that your sentence is a form of hyperbole. I shall not press this matter any further without sufficient information," Alexis replied, ending their awkward conversation. "Vincent has invited me for another night of observation. Be as it may, I have made it my obligation to fulfill that bonded request though I will not entertain any ideas other than sufficient research."

[Daxam]

You hear that, Vincent? Isaac asks. Yeah, yeah, Vincent replies, I won't try nothing. Isaac nods and says, "Alright. I'll keep an eye on Vincent just to make sure he doesn't try anything." Didn't I just say I wasn't gonna do anything? Vincent asks. Yeah, Isaac answers, I just don't trust you to keep your word. You're Vincent, after all. A few moments later, Vincent replies, That's probably a good way to go about things.

[Vocalia]

Alexis stared at Isaac for a brief moment, as if her mechanical 'programming' was booting up some sort of software inside her mind. Out of the blue, she then asked him, "Both you and my operator have expressed strong discomfort and objection to my interaction with Vincent. I do not fully understand the reasoning behind your decision as we have agreed on nothing more than a mutual partnership of security. I am also perplexed by Vincent's carnal and more emotional desire with regards to myself. Will you be able to provide an explanation?"

[Daxam]

Hearing Alexis' question, Isaac finds himself blushing slightly. After a few moments, he says, "Well...Usually, with something like that, you wanna wait until you know each other better and have feelings for one another, instead of doing it just to do it, like Vincent seems to wanna do. It's...hard to explain, in all honesty. I'm sorry if that wasn't a good enough explanation..."
