This story is a direct sequel to Five Nights at Spirals
As with the previous two nights, the elevator opened and a rather weary looking Jennifer walked in, letting the doors close behind her. She had spent most of the day thinking about her sister, Lindsey, and how she ended up in this place. It had been a few weeks since the two had spoken, but that wasn’t unusual given how busy they usually were. The last time they had spoken, Lindsey had been working security at the Spirals Nightclub for a week. It was the night shift, but she was only filling in for a friend of hers. And now she had found her sister in the basement of the facility's Sister Location…an ironic title to say the least. Something must have happened while she was working there. It was the only conclusion Jennifer had come to earlier in the day.
“Welcome back to another pivotal night of your thriving new career!” The Hard-Unit began its nightly speech, causing Jennifer to roll her eyes. “One where you really get to ask yourself, what am I doing with my life? What would my friends say? And most importantly, will I ever see my family again?”
That last line stung in a way that she wasn’t expecting. She glared at the computer screen and tried not to get lost in her own thoughts.
Hard-Unit continued without hesitation. “We understand the stresses of a new job, and we’re here for you. To help you reach a more stable and relaxing frame of mind, we offer several musical selections to help make this elevator ride as relaxing and therapeutic as possible. We offer contemporary jazz, classical rainforest ambiance as well as a wide selection of other choices.”
Jennifer wasn’t really paying attention, her mind was lost in the exposition that I am about to dump. She had spent her day in contact with her friend who worked at Spirals, Celene, gathering as much information about the nightclub and its guests as she could. Celene was incredibly willing to help but had limited access or knowledge of what was going on in the club outside of the security aspect.
A keypad appeared on the touch screen next to her. “Using the keypad, please type the first few letters of the musical selection you would prefer.” Hard-Unit said flatly.
Celene had supplied Jennifer with a list of customers who were regulars at Spirals but had stopped coming into the club over the last two months. There were many reasons she could think of that would make a person stop going to a nightclub, but it was as good a place to start as any. She memorized the names and faces and passed them on to the police department to do wellness checks on as many as they could. Now she just had to get through tonight and gather more information. Without really thinking she just reached out and tapped the touch screen a few times randomly. Not like it really mattered.
“It seems you had some trouble with the keypad.” Hard-Unit said, causing a smirk from Jennifer who was recentering herself. “I see what you were trying to type, and I will auto-correct it for you. Thank you for selecting…Erotic Echoes.”
Jennifer raised an eyebrow and looked sideways at the computer screen as the speakers lit up with a strange humming sound that seemed to go up and down rapidly. But that was only the background, the foreground was a woman moaning in the middle of an orgasm. The sheer shock of the situation gave Jennifer a much needed laugh as she smiled and put her hands in her face, laughing at the ridiculousness of it all.
“Now that your elevator experience has been customized to your needs,” Hard-Unit continued, “and you're thoroughly relaxed, it’s worth mentioning that due to your lackluster performance yesterday, your pay has decreased by a substantial amount. Please enjoy the rest of your descent.”
Jennifer laughed at the thought and made a mental note to also fine this place for abuse of their employees. “Why would anyone work here?” she thought to herself as the elevator doors opened and she started to crawl through the vent to the main control room, so used to the actions that it didn’t even phase her anymore.
The control room looked completely normal, both auditoriums on either side were more or less completely dark. “Due to unforeseen malfunctions from today’s shows, your nightly duties will require you to perform maintenance that you may or may not be skilled enough to perform.” Hard-Unit began as Jennifer leaned against the wall and folded her arms with a slight smile, laughing at the absurdity of this place a bit more. “It became necessary for technicians to attempt to reboot Dazzle's mind. However, they were unsuccessful. Allowing them to try again would be an inefficient path forward, as we would need to allow six to eight weeks for recovery and physical therapy.”
Jennifer shot to attention, looking at the speaker. “What the hell did she do to them?” she said, more than a little surprised. She regained her composure when she noticed the red LED light on the camera turn towards her. In her mind she thought to herself “you go girl” and held back a smile.
“You will need to reach the Trance and Services room on the other side of Flexi’s Funhouse to perform the procedures yourself. Let’s check on Jasmine first, and make sure she’s on her stage.” Hard-Unit concluded.
Jennifer moved to the window on the left and took a deep breath before hitting the button. As the light came on she could see her sister, dressed and probably believing that she was the harem dancer Jasmine, moving and swaying her body in a rather provocative Dance of the Seven Veils. Her body was more stiff than usual, and Jennifer thought she saw a slight glance in her direction. “In any other situation this might be funny, even erotic. In any case sis,” she thought to herself, “when I get you out of this…you’re never living this down!”
“Great, it looks like everything is as it should be in Jasmine’s Hypnotic Hideaway and Oasis. Let’s check on Flexi. It’s important to make sure she’s on her stage before entering.”
Jennifer reluctantly turned away from her sister and moved over to the opposite window that would show her Flexi’s Funhouse, hitting the button. To her surprise the stage was completely empty. In fact the whole room seemed empty.
“Great, it looks like everything is as it should be in Flexi’s Funhouse. There is no need to check on Scarlet tonight. Please refrain from entering unauthorized areas. Proceed directly to Flexi’s Funhouse.” Hard-Unit said before cutting out, and, to Jennifer’s surprise, the red LED light on the camera went dark.
“We’ll see about that.” Jennifer said as she began to crawl her way through the vent to Scarlet’s Sanctum.
She emerged on the other side of the vent and checked to make sure the camera light was still off. Seeing that it was, she gently put her hand over the ear that had the earpiece she had found last night and waited.
“I know why you are here.” the seductive sound of the female voice came through the earpiece. “You want to know how she ended up here. I know…but I don’t know why.” The voice seemed to get very confused, almost…calm. “There was a gathering. Lots of people, dancing and singing. I was in the corner. I was doing what I like to do. Mingling and dancing to the music. But for some reason, I was acutely aware of how many people were watching me.”
The voice trailed off for a moment. “Two, then three, then two, then three, then four, then two.” She paused for a moment. “Usually it was groups, they would look my way and nudge one another, then come up to talk to me while their friends watched.” There was another eerie pause. “There were two, ten three, then five, then four.”
Jennifer leaned against the wall, simply listening to what was being said.
“I can do something special.” the voice said again, seductively. “I can enthrall a mind…make it my own…” another long pause. “There were four, then three, then two…then one.”
The voice stopped, as Jennifer simply waited, listening.
“Something happened when there was one. A young woman, college aged, walking past me, looking at me in the dark corner. I was no longer…myself, and I stopped dancing. My eyes locked onto hers…and there was energy. I couldn’t move, at least, not until she stepped closer.”
A long pause hung in the air as Jennifer swallowed hard and thought to herself “Lindsey.”
“There was resistance, for a moment, but only for a moment. And then there was nothing but the sound of the music, and the darkness of the corner of the nightclub.” the voice paused for a long, long time. “I still see her sometimes. Why did that happen?” And then as soon as it had started, the earpiece crackled with static and went dead.
Jennifer sat in stunned silence for a moment before taking a deep breath. “Well that was creepy.” she said before turning around and heading back into the control room and then down to Flexi’s Funhouse.
Like the other auditorium, this one was completely dark and felt empty. At the same time, though, it was like someone, or something, was in there with her. At the far end of the auditorium was a barely lit door that said 'Trance and Services room.’ She made her way through the room slowly. She never saw anything, never really heard anything, just a strange, eerie echo. Like someone was mimicking her steps as she moved so that the sound of their own footsteps would be hidden in the sound of hers. When she reached the door she stopped and turned around, looking into Flexi’s Funhouse. For just a few moments she looked out into the room, feeling this uneasy feeling that someone was watching her…but from where?
Finally she turned and opened the door to enter the ‘Trance and Service room.’ To her surprise, sitting in front of her was a beautiful young woman with long brown hair, wearing a rather revealing stage magician’s outfit. She didn’t have a top hat but it wouldn’t have looked out of place, although what stood out to her the most were the woman’s pointed ears. She was an elf!
Jennifer quickly ran through the list of pictures she’d seen of Spirals patrons. Out of all of them, there were only two elves that had stopped coming to Spirals in the last two months. This one had to be Stacy, she was a doctor no less. But here, in this place, she sat with her eyes completely blank, body slumped over, not really looking at anything. Her face was slack and completely relaxed. Empty. Waiting to be reprogrammed again, apparently.
“Great job reaching Trance and Service!” Hard-Unit’s voice startled her. “It seems that Dazzle has been rendered inert, which should make your job much easier. We will need to replace the batteries in her equipment in order to keep her in working order. First, locate the earring on her left ear.”
Jennifer moved the young woman’s hair out of the way and saw an earring dangling from her ear, but also noticed that she had an earpiece in her. Just like the one Jennifer was wearing.
“Remove the battery and place it in the trash receptacle to your left. Then, replace the battery with a spare in the top drawer to your right.” Hard-Unit said flatly.
Jennifer did as she was instructed and noticed that as the battery was replaced a surge of yellow energy trickled from the earring and up along Stacy’s head, making her eyes glow for just a second before it faded. “Uh huh...” Jennifer thought to herself with a smile.
“Great!” Hard-Unit continued, “Now reach behind Dazzle and grab the fastening device located just below her neck.”
Jennifer leaned in. a bit confused, having to get very close to Stacy to do so. So close that she was basically reaching around the hypnotized woman’s head, only an inch away from her face. So close she could hear her breathing. She moved her hand behind the woman and found the “fastening device” Hard-Unit had mentioned. “That’s a zipper?” she thought to herself in confusion, but slowly started to unzip the outfit until the zipper was down as far as it could go.
“Great!” Hard-Unit returned, “Now grab the bow tie on the front of Dazzle’s Uniform and pull it forward.”
Jennifer leaned back but couldn’t help but feel herself getting turned on by how helpless Stacy looked. On some level she still felt guilty about this, especially knowing that, like her sister, she was probably someone that was completely innocent. But on another level, this was really stimulating to see! She was so preoccupied she didn’t even think about what she was doing and grabbed the bow tie at the front of the uniform and pulled it forward…completely exposing Stacy’s chest and accidentally activating her hypnotic nipple pads.
The room instantly filled with a swirl of colored lights as the clear film over the woman’s nipples made them spread a hypnotic swirl of colors through the room. “Holy shit!” Jennifer recoiled in surprise as she closed her eyes tight to prevent herself from being blinded, or worse, hypnotized by the lights.
“Oh no!” Hard-Unit said, “It appears you have activated Dazzle’s display. You should avoid looking directly at her nipples. However, if you find yourself falling into a trance, you should be aware that the effects will wear off in seven to ten days. Your pay will be docked for this time off. Now, on the front of Dazzle’s uniform, replace the battery between the breast cups.”
Jennifer blinked her eyes open for a moment and saw a small battery spot sitting right between Dazzle’s breasts before slamming her eyes shut tight again. She groped around blindly to try and find it, but ended up copping a feel of Dazzle’s leg first before finding the uniform. It was easy enough to remove the battery.
She casually tossed the battery in the direction that she thought the garbage was in, but noticed she could see the lights flashing through her closed eyelids. She turned her head as best as she could and fumbled to find the battery in the drawer on the other side.
In the back of her mind she heard a familiar humming sound, it had been on the recording in the elevator earlier. A recording that, despite her mood, had made her feel better, but this one felt different. She felt herself wobble from a lack of balance and made her way back to where she thought Stacy was, noticing that the hum was getting louder as she got closer.
“You can do this!” Jennifer thought to herself as she reached her hand out to find the uniform and the battery slot…and instead found Stacy’s breast. To her surprise, she didn’t pull away, and instead she started to massage and grope the woman’s breast. She leaned in closer, keeping her eyes closed but finding that the lights were still shining through her eyelids. “I shouldn’t be doing this.” she thought, even as her hand continued to grope the helpless woman.
Fortunately she had enough thought left in her mind to move her free hand down and find the battery compartment, then slide the small watch battery into place. She heard a click from the battery as Hard-Unit activated. “Great! The battery has been replaced. Now close up Dazzle’s uniform.”
Jennifer found her hands slowly caressing the woman’s breasts more instead, rolling them around in her hand as she leaned in closer to her. She found her limp face with her own head and touched their cheeks together, panting at an ever increasing rate. “Must stay focused!” she said in her mind as her hands moved away from the woman’s breasts and to her outfit. She grabbed it and pushed it closed tightly against her breasts.
Jennifer sighed and let her hand remain there against the woman’s chest, squeezing the uniform that she was wearing which appeared to be made of a chain or sequined material. Meanwhile, her other hand reached back and found the zipper as the hum still echoed through her mind.
Jennifer tilted her head to the side, finding Stacy’s lips with her own and kissing her. Taking a deep breath as she did and then, in one smooth motion, pulled the zipper up her back and into place. The moment it was in place the hum seemed to stop. Jennifer’s mind cleared and she jerked away from the helpless woman ending the kiss and the mild trance she had started to fall under. “What the hell was that?!” she asked, unintentionally, out loud.
“Great job!” Hard-Unit chimed in. “You’ve replaced all power modules. Now, simply press the red button on the wall to administer a hypnotic shock and you will have completed your tasks for the night. Please exit the building through Flexi’s Funhouse and we’ll see you back here again tomorrow!” Hard-Unit cut off as the speaker went dead.
Jennifer slowly backed away from Stacy until she felt her back against the door. She just stared at the blank woman slumped over, looking so helpless, so open. She shook her head to clear it and turned and hit the red button, she didn’t even stay to watch. As the yellow shock hit Stacy in the head and trickled along her body, lighting up her eyes in a deep glowing yellow, all while her body remained completely still and unmoving.
In the dark auditorium of Flexi’s Funhouse Jennifer let out a sigh. “What the fuck did I just do?” she asked herself as she closed her eyes and took a deep, slow breath. She straightened her posture, released the breath and opened her eyes just in time to see Flexi’s upside down head drop down from somewhere above her, her eyes blank and empty as the spirals on her uniform lit up and bathed Jennifer in a deep hypnotic swirl of colors.
She had just enough time to gasp before everything went blank.
