Showers

The sound of running water was everywhere. Hot steam obscured her vision, but Samus had a pretty good idea where she was. She was surrounded by small cubicles with glass doors, the floor was made of tile with small drains dispersed across it, there were women around her coming and going, and the air was full of moisture. Samus was in a shower room, and thankfully, the ladies shower.

One might assume this the best place of a female bounty hunter to hide, but remember, this is a water park. These shiwers aren't to clean dirt and sweat they're to wash of clorine as such, every woman in the room was still wearing her swimsuit. Except Samus. Something most of them noticed very quickly. Many eyes were on Samus the instant she landed. They were mostly shocked and confused, but a few were starting to laugh.

"It's not that kind of shower, honey." One said, causing a wave of laughter. Samus just smiled awkwardly and pretended to laugh along, then quickly shuffled over to a shower stall and closed the door. Sadly, the glass door was completely see-through, so it provoded practically zero cover. Samus cursed under her breath as she turned around and tried to look small, inadvertently making her well-rounded butt more purnounced to passersby.

"What do I do now?" Samus thought, biting onto her thumbnail. She had escaped the Service Bot and found a relatively private place to catch her breath. Samus turned around and looked into the rest of the shower room. A few people who had been staring at the blonde bombshell quickly averted their eyes. Samus tried to ignore that and focus on the task at hand.

She scanned the room looking for something she could swipe to cover herself: a towel, a spare swimsuit, even a large hat or beach bag to hold against her naked body. But there was nothing but the swimsuits women were currently wearing, and Samus wasn't nearly heartless enough to rip clothing off another woman to save her own modesty. Undeterred Samus moved closer to the glass door, turning around and leaning her head over it. Take a look at the shower rooms exit. She tried to hurry as leaning over the door was causing her breasts to be pressed against the glass. She saw a large open entrance to the room. A woman entered it and took a sharp right, indicating that it bent so visitors could not peek on the showers upon entering.

Samus quickly moved away from the glass door and back the center of the shower and pondered what to do. She couldn't stay here. Word would likely spread of a stark naked woman hanging out in the showers, and it might make its way to security. If the service bot found her here, she was done. Samus softy blushed as she realized she may have to run back into the water park in her birthday suit. As she considered her options, a single droplet of water fell from the showerhead onto the bounty hunters forehead.

"Ohhh," Samus exhaled in suprise. The droplet felt cool and refreshing on her exhausted head. She wiped it away with the back of her hand, only spreading the satisfied feeling. She looked at the wet mark on the back of her hand and wondered why it felt so good. Then she thought back to eariler to her heated entry into the planets atmosphere, the fight with the lava monster and all the running around she'd been doing since. Samus Aran was covered in a thick layer of dried sweat, and this droplet broke through it like a charge beam blast.

Samus shook her head, remembering to stay on topic. She knew that even if these people didn’t have any accoutrements on them, they like had brought some and stored them in a neutral area. Probably through the curved tunnel. As she thought about how and when she could go about claiming some of these items, her eyes wonder upward towards the showerhead. It was of an ornate design. A long rectangle similar to a 2x4 of wood that stretched across the whole of the cubicle with a complex lense like nozzle that like offered all kinds of enticing options in water pressure. Samus' gaze then wondered down towards the controls. They were a holographic touch pad with options, allowing one to refine both the pressure and temperature of the water to the triple decimal. The blondes mind again wondered away from the task at hand as she wondered when the last time she showered was. With her resources low, she had spent the last few weeks looking for work and doing maintenance. Her cleanliness routine had been limited to washing her face or applying a special sanitation spray to quickly kill germs. It had been a long time since she took a nice long shower.

But she couldn't! She was in a tight spot already and couldn't waste time. Samus looked at the controls again, a big red on button pulsated at its center. This wasn't even that kind of shower. All the women here were in swimsuit it was already inappropriate that she was naked here. She needed to leave ASAP and try and grab some loose items.

"Although," Samus thought, peeking behind her, "There aren't that many people in the showers right now. Maybe I should wait here for the room to fill up a little more."

She looked back at the controls. They looked so inviting.

"And while I'm here I should try and blend in a bit more."

She raised her hand and slowly moved it towards the controls. Samus was concerned about whether this was really the best move. There was still time for her to change her mind and start sneaking out. Or she could wait for another opportunity. After a refreshing shower.
