"Wow..." Jen muttered. "This is... honestly great." If what Laura said was true, then Jen now had an 'out' for the curse. If she couldn't find a suitable target within 10 minutes, she no longer had to worry about being forced to consume the pill herself. She would still be 'transformed' in a way, but at least it was predictable now, and not random like the mutations her pills normally caused. Plus, Laura's demonstration had given her another new insight: Although she would be *forced* to cough up a pill every hour, she could also *induce* herself to cough one up early. That would be useful, as she was starting to enjoy this transformation stuff.
Laura laughed four times over. "Glad you like it again, Jen! It'll be good to have another multibody in this school." She took the pill and examined it closely. "Fun fact: These are actually made of the same chemical as the one I use for the serum, just a lot more concentrated, obviously." She handed it back to Jen. "So, you gonna let that one mature, or stay singular for now?"
"Well..." Before Jen could answer, the bathroom door squeaked as it opened. It was Amy, one of Jen's friends from the cheerleading team.
"Oh, hey Jen. Hey, Laura," the tall blonde girl greeted. One of Laura's bodies greeted back with a 'howdy' from one head, and a 'heya' from the other.
"Hi Amy," Jen followed up, "You want one of these?" She held out the pill to her friend, mouthing to Laura, 'I'll stay like this for now.'
"Sure," Amy affirmed, "These are always tasty." Popping it in her mouth, she headed into one of the stalls to do her duty.
"Anyway," Jen continued, trying to find out more from Laura. "Sorry it isn't about recursion, but I'm just curious, why do you talk with both mouths?"
"Hm?" Laura thought about it for a second. "Well, I guess the best way to describe it would be... well, think about blinking and winking. You can instinctively close both eyes, but you need to think about it to do it with only one eye." She stopped talking with one of her mouths, using just the other on the same body instead. "I *can* talk with just one mouth," then she resumed speaking with both, "but this is just more natural for me."
"I see..." Jen glanced at the other body taking notes in the corner, noting that its breasts had begun to grow like the original Laura in class did. She must be about to replicate soon. "Okay, next question... How does it feel to control multiple... viewpoints at once?"
"Well, that one's easy. The more brains you have, the more stimuli you can process and the more tasks you can focus on. You'll get the hang of it."
Then came the sound of flushing, and Amy exited the stall. Jen peaked over her shoulder to see how her friend had changed...
