Alternate name: "The Textbook Definition of 'Did Not Think This Through...'" I wonder how long it'll take a self-fondling vegetable to starve to death, simply because "nothing else matters..."

Haha, that's true. I mean, I do imagine that they can easily go around, it just takes a bit of maneuvering.

yeah, that'd be pretty tricky, since- unless I read this wrong- according to this sentence:

[Fused at the nose, breasts, and belly, with that joined belly leading into a single pair of legs...]

they only have one leg each now. plus with how radically different their heights are and they don't seem to be joined at the Pelvis, what we're looking at is pretty much "Co-Op Walking, Dante Must Die Mode."

but I'm mainly talking about how their minds work now. the story said thanks to their new hive mind, they were effectively lost in their own little world. it's never made clear if they could respond to any outward stimuli, like conversation or, as I brought up, hunger. who's to say they won't neglect eating just to ogle each other some more...?

With the way I think of bodies being conjoined, I have the person who is facing the same way as the feet control said appendages. And with the hive mind thing, I obviously intended them to have a great sense of joy upon being united for the time being. Obviously they'll go along their daily life.

But like I said in the description, this was something short, something simple, and something rushed through without any major thought put into it.

huh, never considered that.

it's kinda like that "I'm Late!" story, where it's implied that the two women Julia accidently assimilated were effectively dead and gone, but the follow-up shows that they're alive and well, and not only are they both okay with what happened, but are are slowly regaining control of their bodies, or at least the parts of their bodies that make up Julia's new body...

as for "daily life," they might have to get a Job they can do from home, or take public transportation, since there's no way in Hell they're driving a car with THAT Body...

Oh, for sure! I'd suspect a job from home would work really well with that scenario. I want to dive into Julia more and possibly these two foxes (actually should be wolves but hnnngh) as well.
