This choice: Possess your old circle of friends. • Go Back...Chapter #6Possess your old circle of friends by: That One Guy   June is the first one you connect with, and you make a plan to meet in the bathrooms after school ends for a little pre-study session touch up and discussion. However, once you arrive you’re a bit disappointed to see both Melissa and June primping. They’re happy to see you, of course, and you smile and play along. Miraculously, no one else enters, so it’s only the three of you there. You debate making a play for trying to hold them down and possess them both here, but you’re not confident enough in Dana’s strength to try it. Instead you cough into your hand and allow a worm to cling there while you bide your time. June is the first to go, and Melissa begins to follow, but you leap into action before she can reach the exit. You grab her by the waist from behind and shove your hand into her face. She twists and struggles, but falls limp as you worm your way up her nose and into her head.
You didn’t think it would be that hard controlling a second human body. After all, you’ve been running Dana and the cat simultaneously for about a day with little trouble so how hard could a third be? Turns out it is substantially harder. You can barely control Dana and June, so you totter them to different stalls and squat them on the toilet while you try to orient yourself. When ten minutes pass and you make no progress –June turned back briefly to check where you’d gone and you’d had to struggle give her two separate answers, concentrating on one body at a time- you give up and sink down inside Melissa, wiping away her memory of your assault. You wait until she’s stumbled out of the stall and left before sighing. Looks like this will be far harder than you thought.
June is not yet gone by the time you run over to the parking lot to catch up with her, and obliges when you ask her for a ride home. Once you’re both in the car, however, you catch her off-guard with a fistful of goo. She yelps and tries twisting away but you’re already squirming up her nose. The nasal membranes are soft and porous, and in no time you’re easily sinking into her head.
“Fuck, if I knew it’d be this hard I would have practiced yesterday with Sarah,” you sigh, looking over at June’s blank, lifeless face. She shrugs. “You’re right, I’ll just have to live and learn. Still, it’s going to be a pain to absorb you guys all at once. Is that what I do to you? What I did to Dana? I mean, I can still leave her, right?” Just to check, you let your real body drip from Dana’s mouth into June’s open palms after wiping her mind of your presence.
“Huh?” She mutters as she comes to consciousness. “June, wha-?” she’s cut off as you shove your real body into her face. She chokes and sputters as you greedily invade her, then falls limp briefly.
“So she’s still in there, definitely,” you say once you’ve got her recovered. “So what do we call it when I’m able to just… be her instead of what I’ve got going on with you, now what I mean?” June doesn’t answer. “We’ll workshop it.”
Then you flick her memory of your possession of her away and let June be herself again. When you arrive at Dana’s house you prod June’s mind into convincing itself she should come inside and hang out until the study session. It only takes a thought from you before she’s bringing her backpack in with her as she follows you up to Dana’s room. Once you’re there, you lock the door, surface inside June and sit them both on the bed. You’re thankful that you set the meeting time to seven, because it takes you a while to get used to the feeling of operating two humans. Luckily, you already knew the trick of visualizing them as two parts of a whole so progress was fast. You’re still uneasy on June’s feet, but by the time the study session rolled around you are confident enough that you can stay in fool everyone that you keep control of June when Matt and Kevin arrive.
They can’t seem to get a hold of David or Caleb, and you feign concern as you get them both some bottles of soda that are spiked with little bits of you from the fridge. All it takes is one sip and then they’re yours. You’re hunched over your books silently when Melissa gets there, but you let yourself go once you surface inside of her, talking amongst yourselves so you can work on your self-to-self conversation skills and management of so many bodies. Dana is the only one whose mind you have complete access to so the conversations are a little rough, but by the end of the night you’re confident you’ve got the hang of having somewhat natural-sounding conversations with yourself. You don’t get as much studying done as Dana would have liked, but you know that everyone else is willing to reconvene whenever she suggests.

It is dark around you as you pad into the room, but your cat eyes have no trouble seeing in the dark. Effortlessly, you trot up to the bed and slowly maneuver your way onto it, careful not to wake the slumbering human. This body serves no purpose to you except perhaps as a spy, but another human body will serve you far better at the moment. You curl up next to the warm body, let your worm slither out of the cat’s mouth and then gently guide it into the sleeping target’s nose. You hook yourself onto the nose hairs and bit by bit send a little bit of yourself in until a new body warms to you and a new pair of eyes open up. You glance down and softly snort the bit of yourself left outside your new body and smile.
Looks like you managed to hit a jackpot.
=====
As interesting as Monday turned out to be, you find Tuesday to be infinitely more interesting. Now that you have fully swallowed the minds of your hosts you find that any lingering sense of disorientation you felt the night before is totally replaced by easy and natural-feeling control of a multitude of separate forms. There is nothing oddly coordinated about your group as you get them ready for school, and there is nothing to suggest they aren’t independent beings when you gather them by the athletic field before practice.
“I think I’m starting to get the hang of this,” you say through Dana. “How about another study session today? This time for real.”
“Again?” you say through Kevin while rolling his eyes. “We studied plenty.”
“We barely studied at all,” you point out through June. “Besides, this would be a good bonding exercise for us.”
“You can bond with Caleb all day long when we have him,” your Matt body says, ignoring the disgusted face June pulls. “I’m sure he’d love it.”
“Speaking of, when are we going to get him?” you have Melissa ask.
“Very soon,” Dana says, barfing a wad of goo into her cupped hands and holding them out to the group. You feel a twinge as each of your hosts gently tear a piece of you off and swallow it down. “Now, what do we want to do with the rest of the stuff?”
“I say we use it to get mad tail,” Kevin says with a smirk. “Maybe get the cheer squad under our thumb so we can live the rest of our senior year with access to pussy on demand.”
“Or we could do something less absolutely gross,” June replies, shooting Kevin a look of disgust. “Maybe we could find ourselves each a beau. Find someone we like and look good with and pair up with them.”
“Or,” Dana cuts in, “we could just make ourselves some new friends. Ones in higher places. Kristy Carlson? Chris Yves? Kyle Lakewood? Heck, Adam Karter or Alyssa Randal, maybe?” You shudder at the thought, then realize your phone has vibrated. A text from a number your hosts don’t recognize but you do (because you sent it). ‘I can get u Alyssa if u want. Just give me some of u.’
It’s certainly a tempting prospect, to simply spread out and enjoy the lives of your schoolmates. Perhaps you could take little groups inside the school and have some fun with each of them. You could be the entire Rumoratti if you so desired, and have the school in the palm of your hand. You could be athletes, musicians –hell, you could be the faculty.
Or you could stay small. Focus on your group of friends alone and play with them and keep them safe for the rest of the year. Of course, it would all be for the sake of giving Dana a smoother senior year, but there’s nothing to say you can’t have some fun with them along the way. You could finally get Caleb on a date with June, and she’d be as affectionate as he always hoped she’d be.
