Jessica keeps talking with you
The Shrinking Virus- Collaberotica Version
Chapter 24
"Ken, what a cute name, like Barbie's prince charming," Jessica squeals, and you aren't quite sure if she's serious or if she is really just that juvenile.
"So Ken, what do you think of our little spa retreat?" she continues, and you really aren't sure what to say. Is she seriously asking you, a shrink, what you think about a spa where shrinks are the number one item on the menu?
"You can tell me, I won't bite..." Jessica says, with a playful click of her teeth,"...at least, before midnight."
"What's with that midnight rule anyway? The girl at the counter told me about it earlier but it doesn't make sense to me," Pam asks, taking a sip from her drink. You notice that she's resting her free hand on her tummy, and seems to be moving it slightly to and fro as she speaks.
"Elsie is such a sweetheart isn't she?" Jessica remarks,"can you believe that she's been working here for two years, since she graduated high school, and she hasn't even tried a single shrink?"
"Really? Wow, I just assumed that she's been gulping them down like the rest of us do hahaha," Maddy says.
"Anyway, to answer your question Pam," Jessica began to explain, "the midnight rule started because well, back when the orange tags meant a total hands off on the shrinks wearing them, the spa crew kept having to retrieve the tags from all over the place, smashed into bedsheets, flushed down the toilets, even covered in puke, after the nighttime parties."
"Turns out, nobody was keeping to the rule after the party started, and shrinks kept disappearing after midnight, so the management finally decided to scrap the idea of permanent protection for shrinks, and made it clear to anyone keeping a tagged shrink that they did so at their own risk after midnight."
"So it's sort of like a "buyer beware" thing?" said Pam, still casually stroking her tummy.
"You could say that," Jessica answered,"so, you know, you'd best pay extra attention to where little Ken doll over there is once the clock strikes twelve, or Elsie will probably end up having to track the tag, and by the time she finds him, who knows what might happen to such a little cutie!"
