Self

He - no, it sat in the corner of a fast-food restaurant outlet.
The thing just sat there and sipped his drink. Everyone who saw him only saw his outer appearance, human and normal. If anyone knew what was going on in him....
So... uh, I'm part of this "hive mind" sort of thing now?
Yes. Forgive Us for the breaking of the spine and all that. We absorbed you, for you have certain knowledge We lack.
What do you- uh, We lack?
The ability to blend in with the crowd. Simply put, social skills.
Uh huh. What are We anyway?
We do not know. Our origins are still a mystery to Ourselves. The oldest of Us is Recrem.
Weird. So We all share control of this body?
Indeed. We dictate the actions of it but we typically put it to a vote.
What, everything you do?
No, indeed. We typically get one... spirit? consciousness to oversee the body's needs. Only major decisions are voted for.
For example?
Who to assimilate, where we're going to go for lunch, where we are going to stay next, which bank to rob, the list goes on.
Wait... You rob banks?
How else do we get money without working?
I can see that I'm going to take a long time to get used to this whole not being actually corporeal thing.
