Okay, nevermind, you are actually vibrating in sheer anticipation of waterrrrrrr
POLKA DOT: Hell yeah!
POLKA DOT: I wanna see it! I mea- I know I can’t swim yet, but…would I be allowed to kick my feet in it?
POLKA DOT: Just a little…?
Laurie laughs, clasping his hands together.
LAURIE: Oh, why not. Just a little.
LAURIE: You’re wearing shoes, so your feet shouldn’t be too dirty…but if I find out you tracked dirt in before the next party, you’re going to be on cleaning duty for a week.
LAURIE: …just kidding! But seriously, I will make you clean it after the next party.
LAURIE: And I cannot promise it won’t be a slime day.
POLKA DOT: Slime…day?
LAURIE: Oh yes, sometimes people here enjoy filling the pool with instant slime or snow powder.
LAURIE: Takes forever to clean, but some people are all about substance play- or just for sensory reasons.
LAURIE: Please do not touch the powders, or we’re going to have problems. Messy problems.
LAURIE: Understood?
POLKA DOT: You got it.
LAURIE: Good!
LAURIE: You can check in with Minnie in the lobby- she’ll refill your fob and you’ll be free to spend some hours exploring.
LAURIE: Thank you for helping us out!
POLKA DOT: No sweat.
You get up to leave, hesitating for a moment.
POLKA DOT: And, uh…how long does it take for the whole…sleep thing to work out?
POLKA DOT: For newbies. Just curious.
LAURIE: It varies, but it can take anywhere from weeks to months to stabilize.
LAURIE: You’ll be fine, though- just don’t be afraid to talk to someone if you need to.
You give him a nod, walking for the door. Laurie gives you one last wave as you look over your shoulder, and after a few more steps, you’re in front of Minnie.
MINNIE: How many hours would you like?
MINNIE: If you’re planning on doing a longer shift today, you can get a few days.
