An Offer they Can't Refuse

[muffinstud]

"You're such a good friend, Melissa." Will smiled. "I wish I could be more like you." He blushed as he realized he meant that in more ways than one.

================================================

"Good. Come on, let's get some food. We'll go over the details of the plan afterwards." Hannah offers Steve her hand and gives him a sad smile. "But for now, let's just try to enjoy some dinner."

[Knight Errant]

Steve nods, taking Hannah's hand and pulling himself to his feet. "Alright... lets go."

==========================================

Melissa blushes as well. "Don't mention it... and I've done my share of crying on the floor here... it passes. You just gotta not let it get to you. Anyway... my bathroom is yours if you need it... you will probably feel better after a bath..."

[muffinstud]

Will smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I think I'd like that." She let go and stood up. He looked over Melissa, and couldn't quite understand why part of him felt jealous of her. Try to deny it all she could though, but she was. "I'll try not to be too long." He went into the bathroom and shut the door behind him before she stripped down and turned on the water.

===========================================================

"If it makes you feel better, I can tell you my story." Hannah gave Steve a shrug as they left the room. "How I got here, how I found out... how I came up with the plan."

[Knight Errant]

Steve thinks a bit... then nods. "Sure... that might help." He says, still feeling a bit queasy about the whole situation.

==========================================================================

Melissa just smiles sadly after Will... as he enters her bathroom! Its bright shiny white tile mixed with pink accents. Its as feminine as his bathroom, if not more so. The tub is the same luxurious model as the one in his room, and soon warm water crashes out and begins filling it.

[muffinstud]

Will stood naked in the bathroom, and tried not to look at himself. She couldn't deny she felt different, especially as she touched her budding chest. "I just need to clear my mind and relax." He took a breath and hopped in once the water was high enough. He looked over Melissa's collection of soaps, and hoped to herself there would be something similar to that breast silk stuff.

=============================================

"Well, as I said before, I was a body builder. Did everything naturally, and I wanted to start selling a workout routine. I was so sure it was going to be the next big thing." Hannah shook her head. "I already had a lot of debt though, and didn't have the capital to start up. So, I took a loan from the Family." She sighed. "You can guess what happened after that."

[Knight Errant]

Steve nods... "Let me guess... it all fell apart through a series of uncontrollable circumstances?"

==========================================

The water was warm and soothing... and definetly helped him relax. As for the soaps, he does spot a pink container of bodywash. It promises to leave behind healthy, soft, glowing skin!

[muffinstud]

Will smiled as he relaxed. It was nice not to concentrate on his confusion and just let himself be. He grabbed the pink bodywash and scrubbed down thoroughly to keep from having to think too much.

=============================================================

"Bingo. I think it's some sort of entrapment scheme. No doubt they made a bucketload off the insurance to both our businesses." Hannah approached the cafe and went in, again surrounded by healthy veggies and smoothies. "So next thing I knew, I was here and in your shoes. I didn't catch on quite as quickly though. My trainer didn't drop as many hints."

[Knight Errant]

Steve looks around... frowning at the healthy food he is once again surrounded by! Looking over to Hannah. "So, when did you figure it all out?"

======================================

Will found it easy to relax... soothed by the warm water and the clean fresh smell of the soap. The bodywash caused his skin a light, pleasing tingle... and smelled faintly of strawberries.

[muffinstud]

Will sighed to himself. The soap did feel rather nice, even if it didn't smell all that masculine. Then again, part of him didn't miind that either. While he still had the tingles, he looked over his choice of shampoos. He wouldn't want pool water in his hair all night.

========================================================

"The morning of the second day. At first I thought I was just losing weight, but when I was forced to sit down to pee the first time..." Hannah shook her head and fixed herself up a crisp, very green looking salad. "I was not a happy camper. Do you want me to fix you up a plate again? Or are you already adapting to the food?"

[Knight Errant]

Steve winces a bit at that... then shakes his head. "I can make a plate..." he says, heading over.

=================================

Will soon feels his skin all nice and clean... as for the shampoo, there are many colorful ones... all scented with flowers or fruit... they all look very feminine.

[muffinstud]

Will decided to grab a pink bottle that smelled like strawberries. At least if he had to smell like something, it would be just one something. A little part of him decided it liked the smell as he scrubbed the pink stuff into his hair.

=============================================================================

Steve is once again greeted with a most impressive salad bar. Every sort of healthy salad based thing lays before him. Hannah fixes herself up a bowl of fruit again to go along with her green salad; this time it's pears. As he looks over the choices, he might remember just how tasty all of it was. At the end, there is also the smoothie station waiting for him.

[Knight Errant]

Steve mixes himself a cesar salad, a small bowl of fruit, and a kiwi smoothie before sitting down with Hannah again. He glances about. "So... now that I know... when and when can I not talk about it?"

=========================

Will soon works the shampoo into a thick pink lather! It smells so nice... and promises to give his hair a glossy shine!

[muffinstud]

Will sighed at himself as he let the shampoo lather. He really shouldn't have thought so highly of the fragrance or the promised effect on his hair, but there it was. He tried to shake the feeling from his head as he rinsed his hair out, then got up to dry himself off. After all, he didn't want to keep Melissa waiting too long.

========================================

"The actual root cause? Not out in public. But when you're in your apartment or the spa, or surrounded by girls that have obviously been here a lot longer than you." Hannah sat down and started into her green salad with an approving smile. "You can talk about the symptoms all you want though. They actually encourage you to do that. For example, it looks like your hair is turning a lovely shade of blue."

Seeing the healthy food reminded Steve just how tasty it had been, and the smells made him a little more hungry.

[Knight Errant]

Steve starts in on his salad a bit... thinking. "Whats the point of that, though? Dying my hair?" He glances around, shrugging... "This all seems so... sci fi."

=========================

As Will dries his hair, it falls around him in longish, glossy gold locks... it looks so... nice... and feels silky soft. Like his smooth, hairless skin. Soon enough he is dry! He could put on his swimsuit... or grab a fluffy robe...

[muffinstud]

Will considered putting the shorts back on, but he felt he had enough of the tight, revealing stuff for a bit. He put on the robe, intending to quickly head back to his room and put on something a little more decent. He teased his hair, trying to figure out just how long it was as he exited the bathroom.

==================================

Hannah shrugged. "I haven't figured out the hair color thing. I think it might be randomized. Still, it's yet another thing they take away from you, probably trying to steal that much more of your identity." She took a bite of pear and smiled while closing her eyes for a moment.

Steve's salad was very crisp and tasty, and each bite seemed better than the last. Either he really knew how to mix a salad, or the raw materials were just that good.
