Follow Alex into the hall

Alex leads you down a set of stairs, leading to the ground floor of the hall. You pass a few women along the way. Most of them didn't seem to care, but one or two of them look at Alex nervously as you pass them by.

"So..." You ask, shyly. "Did you transform everybody here?"

"That's right." Alex replies. "Just about every person living in this hall used to be an unwitting male, just like you. We don't usually take on females, we've found that... They don't have the right mindset to suit our needs. Guys are more likely to become shy, as well as lose their will to resist, among other things... If we try changing girls, they end up still female, so the shock doesn't hit them and they don't cooperate."

"Good to know..." You groan. You already feel humiliated enough, you didn't need to be told that you're basically a wuss on top of everything else.

You step your foot onto the ground floor and follow Alex around as she gives you the tour.

She takes you to a mess hall. You're allowed a peak in the kitchen. All the food looks rather good, but you notice that the chefs seem oddly similar to the guards you saw before. These ones all have pink hair and ponytails. They're all incredibly focused and coordinated, yet they greet you with a smile when they see you.

"Meals are served three times a day here." Alex explains. "Times are 9am, 12pm and 6pm, but if you want, you can talk to the chefs and request a meal to go."

Alex then takes you to another set of rooms. There's a gym, a pool, a lounge and an indoor courtyard (though no natural light appears to grace it).

"This is our exercise and recreational area. Feel free to use it anytime."

Alex continues taking you all over the hall. She takes you to the public bathrooms, to the library, to the theater and to the storeroom. Along the way you are introduced to a variety of other employees, all with differing attitudes. Some greeted you and Alex with a smile, others shied away, and even a few glared at the both of you in hatred. Alex kept her same cheery attitude when encountering all of them.

Finally, you end up at a door on the second floor. The room number reads "No. 55, May" in electronic letters.

"Well, in you go!" And opens the door.

You walk inside. It's the size of a large hotel room, but the furniture is all way nicer. You have a bed, a closet, a television, a shower and bathtub, a table and chair, a toilet, a fridge, and even a computer, though you doubt it's connected to the internet.

"This... This is all mine?" You ask.

"Mm-hm!" Alex replies. "Feel free to do whatever you like with it. From now on, this is your home!"

You feel almost... Happy. Your old place was a run-down apartment, with an uncomfortable bed and infested with roaches. This place is everything you could ever want... It felt... As if your change was almost worth it.

You flop down on the soft, cushiony bed, and stare blankly at the ceiling. A minute passes as you take everything in. Then, a thought crosses your mind. There had been a door, unlike all the others that hadn't been touched. You knew it wasn't someone's room since there wasn't a number on it. You lift your head to face Alex.

"I have a question." You ask her. "On the bottom floor, at the end of the hallway on the right side-"

"You'll find out later." Alex interrupts you. "May, there aren't many rules here in exchange for your residence. But let me warn you, failure to comply will result in... punishment." She grins, and looks at you with a terrifying look in her eye.

"Rule number one. You must always, and I mean always, do what I order you to. Rule number two. You must not cause any serious trouble or harm to the other residents or property. That includes staff. Rule number three. You must never re-enter the labs again, unless you're escorted by either a guard or myself. And finally, rule number four." She walks over to the door, and points to some kind of electronic screen. "This screen will provide a time and date, a minimum of twelve hours in advance. You are expected to make your way down to the doors on the ground floor, and enter them at that time. You will meet a guard and be escorted from there. Understood?"

You gulp, and nod.

"Good. That's all you need to do, May, darling. Now, as per rule number one, I need you to listen to do this: Do not leave your room, and do not converse with any other residents. Exactly four hours from now, go to the doors on the bottom floor and enter them. After you come back, you may then do whatever you wish."

And with that, she left your room and closed the door, leaving you staring up toward the ceiling in thought.
