Standing in the black void, staring at the host while she stares back at her.
Grace Alter clasps her hands in front of herself (This is strange… Lady can perceive me.)
Grace walks close to Grace Alter.
Grace Alter (I can't move?)
When Grace grabbed onto Alter's hands, her whole surroundings turned into a giant white void with many versions of Grace in different outfits bleeding out in every space of the white void, blood splattered everywhere, defying the laws of physics.
Grace mumbled to herself (Another outfit for my beloved Husband. Soon I'll be a perfect Servant for him. All he needs is me!), but Alter was able to hear every word she said clearly.
Grace leans close to Alter's chest, directly on her heart (Such devotion to… Sunz? None of those mannequins feel the same for him like me.)
…
(I see. So you are that personality, Grace Alter. I hope you enjoy having sex with Sunz like I did, because your service is no longer needed.)
Alter suddenly feels herself getting weaker. There is a pain in her heart, like it was being stabbed by millions of needles, and in these needles were microscopic barbs trying to dig deeper into her heart.
*a slight movement from Alter*
Grace lets out a slight giggle and speaks clearly for Alter instead of mumbling to herself: Hehe. Don't worry, I'm only taking the necessary parts that make you, and I promise to use them to satisfy the person you called Master better than your previous work.
Alter feels like her own soul was about to be ripped from her body. Suddenly, her body was immediately able to move as she tried to hang onto those precious memories of her with Sunz, then she kicked Grace directly in her chest, knocking her rolling away.
Alter panting: hah, hah. I could have died.
*touching where her heart is and felt small ice crystals linger there*
"What should I do here?"
Suddenly she hears a voice in her mind.
(Fuck! That was close.)
Her arms move on their own to wipe the ice crystals off her chest. But she feels nothing.
(Getting sexually assaulted by my own weird clone puppet thingy is not something I expect to dream of.)
Alter asks herself in her mind (Lady? Is that you? The real you?)
Her body suddenly does a 360-degree turn, then a voice rings out in her mind (SHUT UP!), making her entire body tense up as if she is in control again. Something places both of its hands on her back, forcing her to immediately turn around just to see nothing. The scenery before turned back into the clean white void with nothing except for her… but the feeling on her back still lingers.
Then it pushed her to the floor on both of her knees, and she heard the same voice, but this time speaking directly to her from behind and not in her mind.
"This keeps getting weirder and weirder even for dreaming."
Turning around, she sees Grace in her pajamas and an ice clone of Grace wearing the same outfit standing behind her.
Grace snaps her fingers, and the ice clone performs a curtsy, then shatters immediately after.
"I'll be honest. I don't know who you are… but after reading so many books. The only logical and cliché answer that has been used by many authors is that you are another soul inside my body."
"Also, considering the way you appear, you must be different from those clone puppets of myself that disappeared somehow."
"Well, I have a lot to ask, like a lot, a lot, but let's get the main point out of the way first. What is your motive? In the stories I have read, your goal is either good or bad, like trying to take over my body and making it your own, which is bad. Or the cliché of helping the main character with their quest which I would not consider a good goal, it just a goal bland but sure."
Alter seated herself comfortably on the floor: Well, Lady… may I call you that?
Grace, crossing her arms: Sure… a polite one you are. *sigh* Let's see what you are hiding behind all that politeness.
Alter: I have nothing to hide. As Lady and Master's Servant, my only goal is to see both of you happy together, including eliminating anyone preventing that goal.
Grace:… So you are the one that's been putting that idea in my head… good. Now I know that I'm not crazy with murderous intent.
Alter stands up, clasps her hands together: Are you mad at me?
Grace: I might be, but have you killed any innocent civilian with my body?
Alter: No. Not yet, but the people I killed won't be innocent at all. But I am here to follow all of your commands and requests. I'll only break them if you are in a really dire situation.
Grace: That is acceptable. Ok, under no circumstances you are not allowed to kill innocent civilians with my body, and I don't want to see you projecting those murderous thoughts in my head anymore.
Alter: I can probably follow those requests, but I'm still new to this, so random abilities might appear out of my control due to testing.
Grace: New to this? Oh yeah, that's right, you existed because Sunz and I have sex…
A thick ice wall appears from thin air behind Alter. Grace pushes Alter into the wall with one hand on her shoulder while the other hand presses into the wall next to Alter's face, cornering her.
"Third motive! You spawn out of my love for Sunz. Then you take him on a ride. What if all you are saying is just to have him all for yourself and indulge him in that lustful desire of yours?"
Alter's cheeks become a bit red: It seems old habits die hard.
Grace glares intensely at Alter: I'm not joking!
Alter's blush immediately disappears (These two's jokes always land so flat.): I'm sorry.
*grabs Grace's hand on her shoulder with both of her hands and moves them to her chest*
"All I did was follow what your heart desired that night. I am not here to defy you. I am here to protect the love of Lady and Master… along with my selfish request of being able to feel Master's love if that is ok with you."
Grace yanks her hand back to her chest:…
The entire white void suddenly turns into a light pink that slowly getting brighter as Grace turns her face away from Alter, but her voice echoes throughout the pink void clearly.
(You can not blame me for my behavior that night. I'm only a girl with newly discovered desire, and I have to act fast with limited time. If I didn't behave like that, I would have lost him to someone else. You know how hard it is to find someone like him because I don't. And if I lose him then, I have to find another person to build connection with from the ground up, and this time it won't be as convenient as the last two weeks.)
(Girl teases Boy. Boy annoys the hell out Girl with his idiotic mind. Boy and Girl fight to get the ownership of each other. Both nearly die. Boy nearly breaks the Girl's heart because of his actions. Both act intimately in front of Friends and Strangers. Boy nearly dies, then annoys Girl again with his retarded mind. Then both have sex due to Girl's request.)
(…)
*turn back at Alter*
"Did you hear all of that?"
Alter awkwardly smiles: Unfortunately. Yes. But it should be heard because it reflected your feelings for Master.
Grace covers her face with both of her hands: I don't care! They're my embarrassing words and should only be heard by me.
Alter: It is embarrassing not because they are the truth. It's because you are hiding more vulgar and intimate truths under those embarrassing truths.
The entire pink void immediately turns into a black void, and Grace's expression turns neutral.
Grace: Ok, I guess that is enough acting around. So, what are the benefits you are bringing to improve my sex life with Sunz, which won't be happening for a while because we both agree that we are over it?
Alter: You two are surely one of a kind, two messed-up people in the mind. I have many benefits that don't revolve around your sex life with Master. But one feature you might like is, I am able to manipulate both of your dreams so you two can continue with your wildest desires without making a mess in the real world.
Grace: And I expected you to join this debauchery of ours?
Alter: With your permission, of course… you definitely don't want to waste me in the corner of this void. I have a lot of benefits!
Grace crossing her arms: Benefits for you or me?
Alter giggles: Why not both! Master, being surrounded by both me and you, there is a certain level of pleasure that can't be brought out alone. Master being drowned in the presence of his Wife and Servant… and the best part. No one else is there to compete. Your image will be the only thing in his mind, and your figure will be the only human he touches.
Grace glared at Alter: Wow, you really were only born for sex. How disappointing.
The entire white void immediately turns bright pink.
(Wow, two of me having sex with Sunz. Actually, quite useful to see how my body acts in those situations and with different outfits. Being naked was expected, but doing it with clothes on might trigger a different effect on that outfit-loving bastard.)
Alter immediately froze up after being glared at, but her expression immediately turned disappointed after the change in scenery and hearing Grace's thought.
"Wow, the purest soul with the dirtiest mind and the dirtiest soul with the purest mind. Both of you are definitely something."
Grace: You are in no position to talk about someone's purity when you were created for sex.
Alter: Fine, but I am allowed to judge you two personalities after knowing what is running inside your memories.
Grace: Fair enough…How the hell does Sunz have the dirtiest soul?
Alter: You are being serious, right?
Grace: You were being sarcastic, so I might as well hear your reasons.
Alter: You gotta be kidding me.
Grace: I'm being totally serious here. How long have you existed for, about a month? And you already have such a fascinating personality, so I just want to hear you talk more.
Alter's blond hair suddenly turns red from the tip up to her shoulder length: Aren't you supposed to be the level-headed one in this relationship and not the moron?
Grace shrugs: Well, I did absorb quite a bit of DNA from that moron, both inside and out, so that probably made me a bit more retarded, and not to mention I had to hear him talk too. Absorbing his essence physically and mentally.
Alter's blond hair grew more red:...
Grace: Looks like someone is mad at me~ *falls on the floor*
"Are you going to punish my weak and helpless mind for saying all of that nonsense? I'm so vulnerable and useless."
Alter's blond hair turns fully red, and she just sighs: That dick really hit you deep enough to wired you with a new whimsical behavior. Like I said before, Master is for sharing between the two of us, with you having more authority.
"Why Master has the dirtiest soul but the purest mind. It's because he read and watched a lot of erotic content, which led him to discover strange genres, and within those genres he found some of his favorites. The only reason why his mind is still pure is because fictional is fun, and in reality... oh no, this is bad, not good. His thought, not mine."
"For you, Lady, the Angel of Snow. After tasting a bit of lust, you immediately clip your wings and turn into a succubus that feasts on the first man you see."
Grace: Hey! Why is mine shorter than his?!
Alter: That is what you're focusing on. Not that's surprising tho. There is always more to talk about the veteran compared to a fledgling like yourself.
Grace stands up, clasps her hands together in front of herself like she is praying, then speaks in a calming voice: Fine, I'll surrender. Kill me and take over my body. He deserves someone who knows and understands him deeply.
Alter: Both of you are annoying. I'll reintroduce myself.
"I am Alter the Broken Record Maid. My job is to serve both Master and Lady in their romantic endeavor, while wanting only the opportunity to share my Master with the Lady when she commands me to."
"Also, you won't be waking up for a while, so your request will take you nowhere."
Grace performs a curtsy at Alter: A Lady must show respect toward a capable Servant like yourself as a precaution.
"Since you have shown your devotion and dedication toward your Master and Lady. I shall grant you your desire under one condition. I want to see you two do it even if I'm not there."
Alter: Sure. How would you like to view the memory? There are many options.
Grace was speechless for a minute:...
"Wait, wait, wait. You can fulfill my wish?"
Alter: Of course I can, and also. You want to know what happened that night, right?
Grace: Desperately!
Alter closed her eyes, and the pink void immediately turned pitch black. Then both heard static noise surround them as four big TVs surrounded them, with only static displayed on the screens. On each screen, the static displayed a word Master, Lady, Servant, Eyes.
Grace: So, each of these televisions stores all of our memories. *touches the TV with the word Servant engraved with black and white static*
A VHS tape appears in her empty hand with the title 'Beginning'
"So all of those vulgar names you said to me will be revealed."
An ugly, perverted smile slowly appears on her face, then suddenly another tape launches into her hand from the TV, and it has the title 'Arsène', which immediately forces Grace to drop her creepy smile.
Alter opens her eyes and sees Grace glaring at her intensely: What? Quit the staring and tell me the misunderstanding you are thinking.
Grace throws the tape at Alter: Why is his name on here? I'm going to kill you if you took his virginity.
Alter: Nothing bad happened. Just watch my memories, and you'll see...
*tears start welling up in her eyes, but her expression is neutral*
Grace, confused by Alter's expression: Why are you crying out of nowhere?
Alter turns her head away, covering her face with the tape: Pardon me Lady, for I have done something irredeemable to your body.
Grace (Ok, maybe it's best to stop thinking that she is using my body like a whore and actually listen.): Ok, why don't you tell me what you did? Then I'll judge it to see if it is as irredeemable as you thought.
Alter giggles sadly: You are far too kind, Lady. It was your body, and I am just a lowly parasite, unable to control it to your full potential.
Grace sighs: Well, that's suck. *walks toward Alter*
Alter: I know I'm such a b-
An ice wall appears behind her as she feels Grace grab the arm covering her face, hold it up, and push her into the wall: You lost to Arsène in a sparring match, and now I look like a victim of abuse or torture or worse.
A smile was on her face while saying all that to Alter.
Alter: Don't give me that smile, Lady. You don't understand how much I value your body.
Grace: Then why don't you go check on it instead of being here? Leaving my rotten and beautiful body all defenseless is unwise.
Alter: I'm... I'm sorry.
Grace releases Alter's arm and pats her on the shoulder: It's all fine, seriously. Since I won't be waking up soon, you can be in charge of it for now.
Alter:...
Grace: I understand... this conversation is getting a bit stuffy and hot. Let me help you.
Alter:!!!
Grace grabs onto the chest area of Alter's maid outfit with both hands and immediately rips it apart, which creates a blinding light flashing her for one second, and Alter disappears before the light goes out.
Grace: Good riddance. Now, let's figure out how this entire memory system works.
*put the 'Beginning' tape in the TV*
On the screen, display the bird's-eye view of Grace on top of Sunz's naked body.
"Oh! I can see the entire thing and not only my vision."
