Actually, on second thought, now that the Illuminati waiter is gone we really have no reason to stay here. Capturing him probably wouldn't snag us much useful information (if any). Check yourself for trackers and then skedaddle.

It's a good sized restaurant and there's like half a dozen people here. That IS practically empty.

They're just regular knives. I grab the wine bottle. Yeah, I'm armed and dangerous now!

I go to the bathroom and hammer on the ladies' door.

[default] emerges. She looks mad. "She's not in there."

"She's been kidnapped?!" I say. "Look, the waiter got away and-"

"You hAd ONE jOBb!"

"Your voice is going funny again."

"It's cUte, d-d-damnIiIITttT!"

"Look if we hurry, we can catch that waiter and-"

"No."

"No?"

"I'm taking chargE here. So w-w-what I'M going to do is unmask the conSpiRacy, save the day, get the girl and generally clean up your meSses. YOU are going to taKE Graphene home. If you think you can manage to do that and nOt shit the bed in the process. Got i-i-it?"

Ouch.

>>690935
Hopefully Graphene wasn't kidnapped too.

...Man, you can't even act as backup, she can make DUPLICATES of herself.

"Can you promise to remain calm and not go out and kill everyone? Especially if Shopkeeper turns out to be a double agent? Oh yeah, you may wanna look at the wine label."

tell them no back. you are tired of everyone acting like shit's your fault. if the god damn Illuminati weren't involved then none of this shit would have happened.


so now you are getting those super powers. improve strength speed and stamina. aka, you want to be a god damn terminator.

and everyone else in here, FUCK THEM! nanogoo turns them into raw materials for your upgrade. then you go out and kick everyone's ass until you find shopkeep.

>>690935
Tell other you they're already watching Graphene (two places at once, right?), so why do you need to do it?

Besides, you can't go home yet. The date's not over! (When they protest, ask them when the last time something being stupidly dangerous stopped them from pursuing tits, miss fed herself to nanogoo).

...can we track Shopkeep by her goo-implants? Making them trackers sure seems like a yandre thing to do.

But hey, she can take charge on the rescue mission. She's technically got the superpowers, and seniority. But she'll need backup if they have anti nano stuff! So you're coming along.

Besides, if they're the clone masters, you need me to stop them using other clones to order you around.

>>690935
Woah, projecting much.

But she's right. She can handle this, you should go home and get sexy for your mistresses.

>>690935
Take Graphene home.
Teach her how to make powered armor and manpack railguns.
When the time is right you will redeem yourself with a Big Damn Heroes moment.

>>690935
Hey, I'm you, alright. We need to get that straight, the differences are minimal, you have the SAME capacity to get shit done as I can, well okay you can do Nanomachine shit but still, we're the same beyond that.

Don't go all "I'm superior" to me, you need me! We're two sides of the same coin. The truth of the matter is, given your own agnecy, you would do and act nearly the same, and if you think I'm going to screw the next part of the plan up, that means YOU think YOU yourself is going to screw up. The only way to prevent that is to have two of the same minds helping each other out!

Just... let her be. Dealing with yourself can make people notice flaws about themselves that they don't want to admit they have. Such as (y)our tendency to get caught up in a tidal wave of bad decisions and Illuminati plots.
Go to Graphene and You-2. ("the good twin," you mutter under your breath.)

You would've done the same in my place! I know this because I'm you, actively in the process of being in my place.

>>690935
You're not emotionally stable and you don't always make good decisions when you're upset. I know that, because I'm you! And with the nanogoo, you're really bad at making you're own choices.

Even if they do tend to be poor choices.

I can be the Charlie to your Angels!

"Save your girlfriend" gives priority to anything she judges as helping Shopkeep, and again, is vague enough she can interpret it as needed.

I hustle to the warehouse where we left the car. Hopefully an ex-car by now. [default]'s waiting for me just inside the door. She's bundled up in clothes and looking kind of chunky.

She nods at me. "So how'd tHE date go?"

"What?! But you were at the thing! Don't tell me that wasn't you?!"

She lets me stew for a second and then waggles her eyebrows. "I'm messing with you."

"Agh don't do that."

"It's so haaAArd to resist."

"Are you ready to go? Where's Graphene?"

"I'm just finishiNG up now. But we have a proBlem."

Graphene bounds in and sits in front of me, tail wagging furiously. Thankfully she doesn't try to punch or jump up on me.

"Hiiiiii!?! Woof. Bark!"

She got bigger.

"If you have any ideas for smuggling half a ton of dog home, I'm all ears."

Graphine ditched her winter clothes, is the cold gonna be a problem for her? It won't do if her outer layers start flaking off dead and frozen along the way, even if that might make her smaller and a little more manageable.

Um. Could we make booties out of something? So she doesn't freeze her little feet.

...we left the restaurant without paying, didn't we? We never made it to the check. We could blow Coffee Guy's cash on a taxi ride or something if we don't want to walk.

>>691618
Graphene, turn into a working, ridable go-cart like thing that can fit two people. Just get creative girl, you don't need engine parts, just wheels that you can move really fast using the power of traction and use to project and change direction.

Couldn't Graphene just... Excrete excess raw materials and come back for them later if we decide we still need them? I guess that'd defeat the purpose of having eaten that car in the first place, huh.

Hmm...

Have Graphene form a snowplow for clearing the path in front of her?

Graphene, morph into an elephant. It's like a gray dog, but bigger, with curved pointy bits on the front. Extrude roll cage and padded passenger seat from your back as a howdah.

Then, march back to the apartment like some prince out of Near Eastern myth.

She's pretty big now, but she'll definitely start freezing up. I wouldn't want to risk her outside for long.

>Multiple dogs are easier than one big dog. We could store her in suitcases or duffel bags, etc.
>Is it hard having 4 eyes, and coordinating 2 yous, or does that just come naturally with the goo?
"Uh, could we split her into multiple, smaller dogs to move her around? How hard is it doing that? Having two yous?"

"A-a-actuaLly I have more than tHat." [default] says, entering the room flanked by two smaller versions of herself. "It's not eaSY. It makes me stupid. It's hard to do tOO much at once. These t-t-two are basically sleepwalking." She pats her escorts on their shoulders and then she points to the first one who spoke with me. "She's the braIns of the oUtfit right now."

I think I might be looking at the start of a grey goo scenario. "Um, just how many yous are there right now?" I say.

"Six." the original one says.

"Um, is that counting me?" I say, looking around. One at the restaurant, four here, one missing.

"No, she's getTIng dresSed silly. By the way, I still neED to eat three peRcent of a car."

"How did that happen?"

"DefinITional conflict witH Graphene on what counted as part of the CAr and whether you meant PErcentage by weight or volume. It seemed best to avoiD risking her running off."

>Couldn't Graphene just... Excrete excess raw materials and come back for them later if we decide we still need them? I guess that'd defeat the purpose of having eaten that car in the first place, huh.

Uh, let me think. I literally have over a ton of nanomachines in the room with me here. I could probably just try to hail some taxis, but it might be hard to convince them to take my 'dog' and we'll need at least three so it'll cost a heap. Or we could try to make a protective suit for Graphene and be cool and and rider her home and possibly be arrested for being too cool.

Also I'd definitely need a cart or sled or something because there's no way she can carry six people.

>>691645
>sled
>very large dog
>dogsled
MAXIMUM COOL. If only we could solve the heating problem. Damn, if we had planned ahead, we could've left the upholstery and tires behind. The upholstery could be repurposed as insulation and the tires as road-contact material.

What's around here we could use for materials?

like i said, tablecloths. we already hate the restaurant and it hates us.

>3% of a car
So... What. A mirror or the cupholder or something?

>too many goos
If it's too much trouble to control that much mass at once, she could store or cache excess mass instead of making sleepwalkers. Just form a block or some other nondescript thing, but them somewhere warm, switch them to low power mode, then ignore them until you need more mass. (Or until something bad happens to the 'main' body). They go from being a hassle to secret backup bodies.

Could be anything as simple as an innocuous box left in storage, or a mannequin in a store. Pretty easy to hide them in plain sight.

Heck, if you ship them to far appart locations, jumping control to different bodies becomes a means of fast travel.

Although sneaky stashing of spare nanos is somewhat longer term. Short term, we need to get them out of the cold.

Hey, by splitting, does she get around minimum size requirements not to be stupid? A mini-me could be used for spying or scouting if you used another body for thinking / controlling.

Do we want to consider upgrading yourself, yet? [default] certainly has plenty of spare goo to pump you full of.

>Nanogoo dogsled
This is too awesome not to do. Is there a thrift store or anything nearby we could buy winter clothes we could adapt for the doggies?

Graphene is big enough, cancel her orders and give the rest to [default].

For Graphene's heating problem, why not try getting some fermenting organic waste from a dumpster behind the restaurant? She can carry that internally and you won't have to smell a thing, and she'll digest it after. The lid of the dumpster can also serve as a sled.

Backup ideas if the fermentation won't provide enough heat: Default designs the heating coil and gives it to Graphene, or we purchase/acquire one from a store.

>little goo copies everywhere
"Man, I never expected going to bed with someone to net so many kids so quickly."

Ponder why you are continually bringing more nanogoos into an environment which they cannot survive.

Then stick your dick in the [defaults].

If [default] can do it, then get a cybernetic cell phone implant. That way if you get kidnapped you can call for help, give them GPS coordinates, and then play flappy bird on the back of your eyes until help arrives.

How much heat can nanoassemblers safely endure? Maybe just buy a propane tank from a store, rig a burner for it. Scoop up some snow for a thermal buffer, bring it as close to a boil as needed, and circulate it through extremities like blood to keep things uniformly cozy.

>>If you have children with yourself, are the children ALSO you? Will they have an Electra complex that also qualifies as a narcissistic disorder?

>Uh, those sound pretty good, though I'd need a SIM card for a phone. What should I go with?
Get all that stuff.

You could always just get the SIM card later and get the capacity to use one now.

We should get the enhanced eye stuff we discussed before. If [default] still can't mod your eyes without wholesale goo replacement, get built in contacts with the desired functions.

Enhance dong, obviously.

Nanogoo communication protocols. So we can plug into / talk to goos like you did before with the computer.

All right, your turn to pump me full of goo.

>>691979
SIM cards are only required to make phone calls. or do data. You're in the US, so by law phone companies are required to accept emergency phone calls even if there's no valid SIM.

I can't believe you don't have your own cell phone. The heck is wrong with you?

>>691993
Well, given the whole clone thing, his original cell phone is probably with/part of/got lost by [default] and he presumably didn't get a replacement when he was cloned.

The SIM card problem can be dealt with easily. Buy a disposable phone. It's for emergencies anyway.

>>691979
Well if you need fast, armor the skull and implant the phone in there. That way if you get exploded they can recover your head. And they won't lose signal easily if someone drops a bowling ball on you.

Night vision involves very heavy very difficult modification of the eye.

Night vision would require changes so drastic you'd be better off just making a new eye entirely.

Super strength for swinging cars at enemies and hardening skin to protect from bullets, those would be really helpful. And if we combine them then we can do hand-to-hand combat with any attack robots the enemy sends at us! That way we won't be useless in a combat situation!

>>692015
We could just wear a cup, you know.

if they can improve our ability to maintain thermal regularity that would be great. would let us act as a heating system for nanos.

>>691979
Merging the two sleepyheads could possibly make for a more functional individual, at least.

Or would one that size not fit into the clothes you have?

>>692069
This. Huddle together for warmth!

>Merging the two sleepyheads could possibly make for a more functional individual, at least.
>Or would one that size not fit into the clothes you have?
I ask her about it. She says this worked out best based on available clothes and processing power.

>I can't believe you don't have your own cell phone. The heck is wrong with you?
I do have my own phone. One phone. That means [default] doesn't.

>All right, your turn to pump me full of goo.
Time for my requests. "OK, so if you're going to be pumping me full of goo now, I'd like to be strong and tough and preferably bulletproof. And able to access the internet and see it and talk on the phone and talk with you with my mind."

[default] nods. "That should be EAsy. I've done es-s-sentially that for my girlfriend." Was there a slight emphasis on 'my'? "I bareLy even have to adapT the parts."

>Night vision involves very heavy very difficult modification of the eye. It's relatively simple to feed data into the visual cortex or optic nerve, or interweave photoemitters in between the photosensitive cells. Night vision would require changes so drastic you'd be better off just making a new eye entirely.
I think I'll pass for the moment.

>Toxin/drug filter, so you can drink your wine in peace.
>Autodoc implant (At least for neutralising poisons)
"Um, some sort of drug filter or first aid thing?"

"That's complicatED you know. I'd have to set it up with a l-L-library of poisons and drugs and iNJuries. I could do something RrrRReally basic for now."

"Uh that'll have to do I guess."

>A built-in taser, that you can launch from your wrist like Spiderman shoots webs.
"Some sort of taser?"

"I d-d-don't tHink that's a good idea."

Huh. "Why not?"

She frowns. "It's jUst bad." Hang on, isn't she vulnerable to electric shocks?

>If they can improve our ability to maintain thermal regularity that would be great. would let us act as a heating system for nanos.
"How about something to heat myself. That way I could help keep you warm in a pinch?"

"Oh yOu." I think she liked that.

>Also, ask her to make your junk kickproof.
All the 100% reliable ways to do that scare me.

>Enhance dong, obviously.
I express my desire for larger man-parts.

The [default]s exchange looks. "SeriOUsly?"

"Make me a monster, woman."

"Well then. Do you haVE any other insane reQuests?"

>Ooh, get an attractive face.
I tap my hands on my cheeks and slowly draw them down. "Oooh, I want a prettier face."

"HmmmMMmmm."

She sets to work. I lose consciousness.

...

"Wake up, wake up!" Someone's shaking me. I reluctantly open my eyes.

It's [default]. "Oh, you're done?" I look around. There's extra stuff in my vision. A UI? We're still in the old warehouse. It's just her. The smart one. The other goos are nowhere in sight.

"I think I mesSEd up." She looks upset but her voice is very robotic.

"You, what?!" I think I need to do a quick inventory that all my body parts are intact.

She helps me to my feet. "What, no, caREful. I didn't finish on you. The proBlem is-"

Someone kicks in the door.

Aaaaaah, it's obviously the Illuminati's goons! Kung fu goons?! How did they find us?! Why don't they have weapons?! Why is the Illuminati so low budget?! How are they a secret if they go around sticking their dumb triangle on everything?!

"eat four illuminati goon legs"

if you want to be less horrible then just punch the shit out of them.

>>692855
"Ok, fine, you wanna talk? Lets talk.
For starters, what are you guys even trying to accomplish here?"

Take cover! They've got invisible guns!

>>692856
Giving [Default] orders is a terrible idea. She's intelligent and perfectly willing to kill, and doesn't like having her free will overridden.
She'll probably eat their legs or something anyway.

If you're mutated, START THROWING ^&*( and see what comes out of your new tentacle paws!

>She frowns. "It's jUst bad." Hang on, isn't she vulnerable to electric shocks?
If so, that would make your goo vulnerable to electric shocks. Meaning any built in cyborg taser could be prone to a rather messy backfire.

>"I think I mesSEd up." She looks upset but her voice is very robotic.
Um. I wonder if the [default] instance that went after them bought it. Or if she lost any of the others.

>what do
Query your UI to report your condition! If something is broken or unfinished, you need to know so you don't make it worse.

Also look down and see if you're naked.

Prepare to defend yourself and your doppelganger from goons, she doesn't sound like she's 100% right now.

>UI stuff
Tag [default] as sexy goo-girl me and the baddies as triangle jerks.

Are we sure those aren't nanogoo minion bodies disguised as bad kung fu illuminati goons?

"Hang on a second." I look back at [default]. "Those are you, aren't they?"

The goons shed their helmets. Yup. It's her. [default] goes over to them.

"Well, as Dad woULd say: Pranked you good, son!"

"Oh come on, I saw through that right away."

"NooOooo, you diDn't."

Wait, what?!

how deep does the rabbit hole go?

She made you look like Coffee Guy.

Not the worst move, he makes more than you at work and stuff, but shortsighted seeing as you can't impersonate him. Cause you suck.

Right, get your UI to do a systems check. All systems go?

>She made you look like Coffee Guy.
There's no way she could be that cruel. If she did that you'd have to rip your face off and get a new one grown!

>what else
Ask for a status update. How goes operation hunt down the conspiracy and rescue girlfriend?

Has [default] been behind this all along? Did she make a human copy of herself and play dumb as to where it came from?

Oh no Son, you are the nanogoos! ...Well, if you weren't before, you are now, I mean you did ask for it.

She was the French waiter, wasn't she. If she went back to before the warehouse, then yeah, you didn't see through it right away, only this part of it.

>>692898
You're boning SHOPKEEP right now, aren't you goome?
With your futa nanoboner!
And now you're feeling up your own nanoclones and acting like their your bitches!

How fucked up can ME get?

>>692898
...how did she get those clothes?

Also, if the whole illuminati thing was a prank from the start and she was the waiter then did she already have an extra body's worth of mass when you first encountered her in the house? Or did she manage to eat enough of the car to make the waiter's body in time to show up at the date? Also where did she get THOSE clothes? Did she knock out one of the real waiters and steal them for the prank?

...also if this was a prank then maybe it was also a test. Which you failed by letting the waiter get away. At least it also means shopkeep is fine.

>>692898
Wait. And Shopkeep was in on it.

...Why do I get the feeling this was going to end up in some oddly elaborate, but somehow sexy, deathtrap?

Ask for a mirror. I'd guess you look like a masculine shopkeep now. Or just shopkeep.

>>692951
Not cool, we'd be doing the same thing. Don't say that.

You know, it occurs to me that either she's been lying about the eyes, or the waiter didn't actually HAVE eyes, and she was using the other more overt body to serve as his eyes, at least while he was near Son.

"Where did you get those outfits?"

"I made them WHile you were unconsciIiious. [default] explains. "Using nanomachines!"

>She was the French waiter, wasn't she. If she went back to before the warehouse, then yeah, you didn't see through it right away, only this part of it.
"And you were the waiter too?"

"Oh no, it's very s-s-SIMple. I put most of my mass into ONe body, left the rest to eat the car and followED you to the restaurant. Then I went to the bottle-shop, bought some cheap wIne, changed the label and bRibed the burliest waiter to act susSpiciously."

>Wait. And Shopkeep was in on it.
>...Why do I get the feeling this was going to end up in some oddly elaborate, but somehow sexy, deathtrap?
Story of my life.

>...also if this was a prank then maybe it was also a test. Which you failed by letting the waiter get away. At least it also means Shopkeep is fine.
>Ask for a status update. How goes operation hunt down the conspiracy and rescue girlfriend?
"So this was a test? How did operation hunt down the conspiracy and rescue girlfriend go?"

More goo comes in. The smugness in here is hitting critical levels. "The OPeration was a complete success. I saved her from myseeEEelf. We also h-h-had a NIce dinner."

>You're boning SHOPKEEP right now, aren't you goome?
>With your futa nanoboner!
>And now you're feeling up your own nanoclones and acting like they're your bitches!
>How fucked up can ME get?
Yeah! I open my mouth to say words.

>Not cool, we'd be doing the same thing. Don't say that.
I shut it. I don't know about that. It was kind of a dick move!

"How'd I do?" I manage.

Shopkeep pushes to the front. "The important thing is that you tried."

Oh goddamnit.

>Has [default] been behind this all along? Did she make a human copy of herself and play dumb as to where it came from?
I pick a goo-me. "But wait, then who cloned me? Was it you all along?"

[default] shrugs. "I have no idea!"

In the end, I didn't understand anything.

THE END

>>694711
at least you got to literally fuck your goo self

>>694712

And at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

>>694711
At least we got an awesome nano-dog out of it.

>>694711
[Default] pranked herself. Pretty sure that would make Dad proud. Success!

>>694711
Ahh, you and shopkeep look similar!
I hope you're not cousins! That would be par for the course for you!

So in the end we trolled ourself and got to ride in a cool robot dogsled. Even if there's still mysteries all over the place I'd say this was a pretty good day.

Also, shopkeep got her harem, so someone definitely won.

...haha, Shopkeep and Son make of of those they even look alike couples.

>>694711
Illuminati conspiracies uncovered -1

Who cares, got superpowers.

So we harassed and assaulted a complete stranger for no good reason? And let him get away? This could land us in deeper trouble than eating that guy nobody liked.

Oh well. Oh what fun it is ride in a seven-goo open sleigh!

>>694711

Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-goo open sleigh! HEY!
