Hot Freaks

This one is on the house
This one is better than ever...


Will rested in the sauna, her eyes closed, listening to the music. This had been a weird couple days.

Everywhere she went, her mouth was running. She had commented to the lunch-ladies in the dining hall about the inadequacy of their mac and cheese, had told some gold-plated girl that she had missed a spot buffing out a ding, and had found himself, inexplicitly, walking the other way when he had seen ASHLIE coming down the hall. Not to mention the weird haziness of her memories after Nailah had come calling. She was clearly out of sorts.

Clearly, she was just over-stressed. It had been a stressful few days! So she found herself in the sauna, letting the warm moist air soften her clay up as she sat, just ever-so-slightly deforming. Warm, moist air was rejuvenating. Maybe she should just stay in here forever.

It wasn't too long, of course, before Will fell asleep, despite her best efforts. It was just so warm and comfortable in there, and she was strangely exhausted.

Falling asleep in the sauna was not good for her body integrity, as she continued to slump into her self. Neck collapsed into torso, limbs elongated and drooped. Her towel slipped to the floor, but there wasn't precisely anything in particular to cover with it at this time, anyway.

Dry heat would bake a Will solid, but wet heat just softened her up, resulting in a warm lump of soft clay lying there on the bench, snoring ever so slightly.

Janice walks in wearing a towel, looking around because there's music playing.

Then she finds a pile of wet, snoring clay.

"...er?"

"Hnnsnngga wha?" The blob said, abruptly stopping snoring and popping back into...well, humanoid form was stretching it, but closer to the Pillsbury Dough-Girl. "Mmawake, 'mawake."

She shook her head, shaking off some of the cobwebs. "Nno, not at all. C'min, c'min, public sauna, more the merrier, all that."

She looked at the new girl and blinked. "Haven't seen you around here before. 'M Will."

I should come here more often, this is nice," she smiled. "Just let myself go some."

She sits down.

"My thing?" Will said, blinking for a minute. "But..."

"Oh! Of course. My 'thing'. Right! Very funny," she laughed, nodding. "My 'thing' is I'm made of clay, and can shift around into all sorts of different things.

Let me guess your 'thing' -- super strength, stamina, flight, the brave and heroic package?"

Will blinked back.

"Huh. Strange places. Sorry 'bout that, just...confusing you with someone I used to know. Forgive me; it's been a day and a half, and possibly even more than that.

Don't mind me. Tell me more about what it is you do?"

"Mmm. Something like that. A bit of trauma out in the field caused me to have some temporary amnesia. Fortunately, the university found and bought me, so I'm back now. And even though I've got my mind back -- or half of it, anyway -- it never hurts to brush back up on the basics, wouldn't you agree?"

"You haven't met the other guy!" Will nodded, smiling. "A telepath sort of ripped me in two, sending me back here and keeping the other guy with her. He's probably in class now -- or should be. He's even more probably playing hookie, as he thinks going back through this stuff is a waste of time."

Will said this all very matter-of-factly, like this was the most common thing in the world.

"Oh. Well, it'd probably be bad for most people, but I'm pretty flexible, you know? Like, if you found most people in here as a blob, you'd probably have to call the medics more than anything else. I tend to bounce back quickly.

Besides, he's all the jerky parts of me, so I think I got the better half of the deal."

Will shook his head. "I don't think so. I don't remember forgetting anything, at least," she grinned.

She was, presumably, fucking with Janice at this point.

"I'm very sorry I offended you," she said, apologetically, gathering up her towel.

"If you feel like talking again, you can find me in the storage closet on the third floor of the dorms. Enjoy your sauna," she added as she headed for the door.
