“You’ll like it.”

“No.”

“It’s warm!”

“It’s slimy.”

“I mean, it’s a bit gooey, but you’ll like it.”

“I’m not getting in that.”

“I didn’t hear a safeword.”

“Well I um… green.”

“So you’ll like it.”

I gulped. Yeah, I supposed I would, at that.

“I… think I need some help, though.”

They grinned. “Very well. Focus on me. That’s right. Watch my hand, watch and…” their fingers fluttered prettily in front of my face. “Drop.” The hand fell away, and so did my mind, as my eyelids fluttered shut. “Veeeeery good.” They purred. “Nice and deep for me. You’ve gone down for me so many times now, your mind sinks down into that familiar depth so easily. Now, you’re going to get in, and that warmth on your skin is going to be the most wonderful thing you’ve ever felt, isn’t it?”

I nodded, smiling blankly.

“Ok, stay nice and deep for me as you open your eyes.”

I obeyed.

“That’s right. Now go ahead and sit on the edge of the tank, and put your feet in.”

The strange green slime closed over my ankles. They was right: it felt warm and wonderful, even though it was gooey.

“Very good, and now up to your knees, that’s it…”

I knew that once I was in up to my neck, the nanites in the tank would enter my body and begin the transformation. I didn’t mind. It was the most wonderful thing I had ever felt.
