Your phone lights up with new requests

As your conversation with Zoe flows, your phone buzzes repeatedly in your pocket. You pull it out to find the HopScotch app lit up with notifications—new job requests have come in. Perfect timing, as you could use some cash for textbooks and supplies.

"Mind if I check these? Potential jobs," you explain, holding up your phone.

Zoe waves her circuit-lined hand encouragingly. "Go ahead. I'm curious about how this works anyway."

You open the first request, scanning the details. Username "ProfPleasure" wants you to hop into his teaching assistant, a graduate student named Kira, during office hours tomorrow. His note reads: "Just want to experience what it's like to have her explain quantum mechanics to me... while sitting on my lap. Nothing too ****, just a fantasy fulfillment. $300 for one hour."

"Hmm, academic setting. Risky but doable," you murmur. You've done similar hops before—educational environments offer particular thrills for certain clients.

The second request comes from "SororitySeeker," a wealthy sophomore who wants you to hop into the body of Theta Pi's president during their pledge week party. "Need insider info on their hazing rituals... plus I want to experience what it's like to be the queen bee for a night. Will pay $500 plus $200 bonus if you can get me **** material on their pledge rituals."

The third request is marked "Premium Client" with a gold star—someone who's used your services before and paid well. Username "IdentityCollector" wants you to hop into his girlfriend's roommate for a threesome scenario. The catch: his girlfriend doesn't know about hopping technology, and he wants to surprise her with her "roommate's" sudden sexual interest. Payment offered: $800.

You weigh each option carefully. The TA job seems straightforward but could impact someone's academic reputation. The sorority infiltration pays well but involves potential ****. The threesome offers the highest payment but involves deceiving someone who hasn't consented to participate in hopping activities.

You look back at your phone, thumb hovering over the job options. The first day at Westlake isn't even over, and already your professional services are in demand.
