Is Your Love Strong Enough? Part 2 - Personal Interwoven Soulcatchers

Following you awakening and talking with a few of the members through the communication systems by way of the three kind people who had awakened her, Nezaitben realized how the crew was stuck in a terrible mess.

So many of them felt sad and depressed. Considering the entire ship, it wasn't too hard to see why. The next day, there had been an unusual amount of magical flowers spreading all over the ship. Nothing that damaged the controls (she might be naive in the way humanoids were, but Nezaitben was no fool either) but they were found in the most unexpected of places. Her own awakening area was now blooming in a flower paradise, the wooden palace standing proudly on top, the smell and pink cherry blossom strong enough to carry through most of the central city area where most people resided.

Yet the ship was still sad.

This would not do.

That night, or what passed as a night for in the ship, Nezaitben took to the 'sky', letting pieces of her own essence fall on top of the sleeping populace, or those that were not sleeping finding themselves feeling the need too. Enveloping the ship into a peaceful slumber, she searched their dreams. The powers granted to her by the pantheon of gods in her homeworld allowed Nezaitben to weave a series of dreamcatchers giving her the ability to see those whose hearts connected true.

These noble souls would do. Lead by example had always been her philosophy. She would give them a great gift - communication with each other in a single body, allowing them to share everything together. Their two soulcatchers were woven together that night into a single, grand ones, hanging in the garden's trees.

A few minutes later, the empty husks of the bodies that weren't being used showed up at her palace. With a smile, she welcomed them like her own children and began to dress them for their task.

That morning, some of the crewmen would wake up to a strange surprise...and that would just be the beginning of a long, strange misunderstanding and young gods trying too much to please everyone.

[OOC - Just a few rules. Keep in mind the listed rules. You can all start your own threads of waking up in the bodies of others. If you feel like leaving a 2nd post for other people to intact with them, start a reply to your own first post with OPEN header. That way everyone else will know where to post and if you don't feel like having an open interaction post right away, you won't have to!

There will also be another post for all the soulless characters to go around spreading joy and love, so look forward to that too!]

That made Ruffnut smirk and puff out her chest proudly...before wincing. Her grin became crooked as that rib scratched at her lung again. "Damn right I am."

"Let's just chalk this up to 'every single thing you say sounds naughty' and leave it at that."

Lash's brows furrowed as the Overlord concentrated.

Invite! One of Zetta's mecha crashed down from the sky to land heavily next to the group.

"D-damnit! Your mana power is warping my intentions, Lash!"

"Hey that's not my fault!" Lash said, getting back in just so she could speak loudly so the other two could hear it. "Although that is a pretty cool looking mecha..."

Said robot also opened his hand and...formed a ball. The blueish sphere crew as energy was taken from its own reserves into it.

"Uhhhhh....what is it doing?"

The mecha then pointed it at Ruffnut's leg.

Somehow the blotched summoning had created a hybrid mecha healing unit.

Mindy could only stare in wonder. Was this what happened when Lash and Ruffnut;s powers merged? Bullshit! They shoudl eb able t do something equally cool! Damn, it sucked not having powers!

Wait. wait...she did though.

"I never did try using my magic in your body," she said to Ruffnut. "What do you think would happen if I did?"

No time for that though: looks like the healing...robot...thing was about to begin!

Ruff shrugged unsure. At least they were getting used to both using her mouth in tandem. Probably helped that they already spent most of their time together. "Explosions?" She offered unhelpfully.

That wasn't a good things, Mindy! That shouldn't even happen!

But yeah, the mecha had a weird mixture of human and vehicle stats, and it most definitely had a heal ray that lanced out to mend the girl(s)' battered body. It was closer to magic than technology in the way it just made things better.

Meanwhile, Zetta was hopping mad, and that meant Lash's body was sort of swaying and bouncing. "I can't summon minions any more without them getting messed up! We have to fix this!"

Only to get back to Lash looking at it, amazed.

"I dunno, I really like the look it has," she replied to...herself, looking at the healing ray doing its thing. "I wanna try summoning other minions now just to see what they'd look like!"

"I dunno, I think this is pretty cool," Mindy said, glad that she was already starting to heal up. "Like, the alliance thing is sorta neat, you could probably do a lot of damage. The possibilities are endless!"

Mindy thinks Lash should totally do that. It'd be like a fusion dance, but, you know, not gay and all.

"Ahhhhh" In almost the same moment as Mindy using her voice Ruffnut let out a pleasured sigh as her body began to heal. It was such a soothing sensation just being rid of the near constant lingering pain. She got to her feet....and was instantly light headed and sat down again giggling.

"Thanks Boss." She smiled warmly at Lash...well Zetta/Lash. The important thing was she was thanking them.

"It's NOT cool!" Zetta said, and few things could sound weirder than Lash's voice speaking in Zetta's style with a note of concern that wasn't usual to either of them. "My mana power is not only much stronger than Lash's, it's also demonic! If I corrupt it, who knows what the hell will happen?!"

"Demonic Neotanks with giant snarling mouths?" Lash offered, not being helpful in the least.

"Uh, something like that," Mindy said, although she was already thinking that it would be better than a monster truck rally, which were stupid anyway.

"You guys are already creative and have fucking cool powers," Mindy said, half because it was true and half so that dopey grin of Ruffnut's would be forgotten.

Even if it was a little cute.

"I don't think you can get much more corrupt then us without going into the not fun kind of evil." Ruff pointed out pondering what it would be like if Lash and Zetta went that way.

And then after a pause she added.

"Wait so...if we want to make a wish on you now do we like write it on Lash's stomach or something?"

"I mean physically!" Zetta said, his angry notes a sharp distinction from Lash's amused ones. "Human bodies shouldn't have demonic mana power. She could turn into a demon! Or her body could just dissolve into goo! Not cool!"

Ruffnut, your question is stupid and will be ignored. No offense~!

Well Lash on the other hand had looked at her stomach for a few seconds when Ruffnut had spoken. That is until Zetta started speaking, of course.

"Hey! My body is much stronger than that!" Lash snapped back at...herself, adopting a more Lash-like pose. "My body wouldn't just dissolve into a pile of goo, that's way too dumb! Besides, I already told you the story of Von Bolt and his powered-up energy chair. He might not be as powerful as you were, but it did have the power of half the world and the strength of a hundred men or whatever he had said because of it. And he didn't explode or anything until we shot his chair!"

Mindy snickered. "Lash, you aren't a superhero, the Overlord is right. I mean, we ARE all still human, we have no idea what would happen if we suddenly had demon powers, right? But I don't think anything bad will happen, or it would have already, right? So you might as well see what the hell else you can do. Hopefully, all of this bullshit is temporary."

As it to demonstrate, she looked upward a moment, squinting her eyes. "Practe Bigi Nar Ardescat!" A sliver of light moved through the air. "Hmm. Its a little stronger, but a lot harder to do."

While Ruffnut, taking a rest from the constant back and forth responded in their shared mindspace, Impressive! But my lightning is still cooler~

"Okay, then how about this," Zetta grumbled. "It could corrupt your CO powers."

Lash was proud enough of her standing as a CO that maybe THAT would get to her, if nothing else would.

"And it's not something that happens immediately. It's not like my mana power is just going to eat hers, especially if I'm not using it. But if you look at that robot, it's obvious it's not a GOOD thing, no matter how awesome it is."

"So like a Dual Strike..." Lash thought, stroking her chin. "I dunno, could be interesting." She was a woman of SCIENCE! Who cared about your own mortal coil when there was totally awesome experiments to happen. Zetta probably heard that thought.

"But anyway, let's concentrate and finding out what caused this problem in the first place and fix it. That way you won't have to worry about corruption or whatever."

"I have no idea what you guys are talking about," Mindy said, at least when it came to Dual Strike or whatever it was. "But I'm sorta curious if having two minds in one body enhances powers or diminishes them. The best guinea pigs for that is probably gonna be you too."

Already she was forgetting how pissed she was about the situation. Mostly.

"Maybe it's like if the powers are good together. Like I bet if Mindy had water powers we'd be exploding alot." It was unsettling though to hear Ruffnut and Lash talk so much without the other two's voices coming from their own bodies.

"Look, first of all, the main problem with having one mind in two bodies is action economy," Zetta said in Lash's voice. "First of all, it completely shuts down flaking, chaining, and comboing opportunities. Second of all, even if you take that out of the equation, if one person hits at 150%, that's still worse then two people at 100% each. In OTHER WORDS, undoing this whole mess should be your priority no matter HOW you look at it!"

All that anger and irritation was covering up a really deep-seated nugget of worry and alarm that Lash better ignore if she knows what's good for her.

That's okay. Lash was too busy silently admiring and worrying about the fact Zetta was sprouting really truthful and good information, as far as war combat was related. When she did feel his deep-seated nugget of worry and alarm hit her, she stayed quiet about it. But she felt it. Maybe Zetta felt it that she felt it (and they had to feel it deeper).

"...yeah I guess that's true," she finally muttered. "This could reduce our fighting power against the Ohm considerably."

"That's only if you stay that way, which I doubt," Mindy said, waving her skinny hand away. "And let's face it: how many times has shit like this happened? Everyone freaks out, they think they're doomed, and at the end of the day, we fix it. So what's the point in yelling and screaming if we don't know for sure? And whose to say there isn't a way to channel both mind's potential to hit twice as hard?"

This actually made her think. Was there an actual way to combine one person's ability with another's to make an ultimate fighter?

Ugh. It sounded like Dragon Ball Z.

See I don't think we have to worry because our powers aren't ya know...evil. Ruff once again only speaking to Mindy because there was enough confusion as to who was speaking out loud already.

...as far as I know. Magic's not evil right? Just Zetta's magic?
