Paperwork

"Was I able to pique your interest?" the receptionist asks you, looking at you in anticipation.

"A little."

"Wonderful," she says, clapping her hands.

"Then all that's missing is the formalities. First, Mr. Doe, I would have to ask you to go to the bathroom behind me."

"What?"

"Please sir, just do it. I'll explain it to you afterwards."

Alright.

You walk through the door behind the front desk and find yourself in a regular bathroom. You pee in a stand-up toilet and go right back. When you get back, she's looking at her computer monitor.

"Hmm... mhhmhm..."

"Is what?" you ask.

"81kg, normal for your height. Blood sugar level at 69 mg/dl, a little low but still in the normal range. Iron levels okay, blood pressure okay, and most importantly, no diseases."

"You got all that from my going to the bathroom..."

"Yep."

"wow."

"Now that that's cleared up, all you have to do is sign this membership agreement here."

"What all does it say?"

"The usual and then some. For example, we've had a legal dispute before with a husband whose wife got pregnant here."

"And what's wrong with that?"

"It wasn't his."

"Ouch."

"Yes. And the contract says we don't take liability in cases like that, and we don't take liability in pretty much any other case."

"I see." You skim the contract briefly, then glance at the membership fees. You've already bought yourself some expensive stuff. Ships, cars, houses, watches. But never before has a membership for something been as expensive as this. Almost like a premium subscription to Netflix. Only with five more zeros behind it.

Still, you sign up. Money shouldn't be the problem here. But you want to get something in return for your money. The receptionist takes the signed contract.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Doe. With this, all floors are now available to you. Enjoy your stay at LUX."

Alone this time, you head back to the elevator.

A sex club for the top 1%. No. Top 0.01%. Let's see how the top 0.01% fucks.

You stand in front of the buttons with the different colors.

So: Where is the journey going?
