###&@^/~^¨  ground level, several elevators down,   ¨^~/^@&###
##&@^/~^¨¨    in the dark water where the surface   ¨¨^~/^@&##
#&@^/~^¨¨¨  light doesn't reach, and warmth comes   ¨¨¨^~/^@&#
##&@^/~^¨¨ mostly from below - here is the shower.  ¨¨^~/^@&##
###&@^/~^¨                                          ¨^~/^@&###
##&@^/~^¨¨  it is dark. you strip, and it's cold.   ¨¨^~/^@&##
#&@^/~^¨¨¨   your feet feel the cold stone floor,   ¨¨¨^~/^@&#
##&@^/~^¨¨  your hands find the rubber handles to   ¨¨^~/^@&##
###&@^/~^¨         guide you into the cabin.        ¨^~/^@&###
##&@^/~^¨¨                                          ¨¨^~/^@&##
#&@^/~^¨¨¨       and then, the hot water, the       ¨¨¨^~/^@&#
##&@^/~^¨¨     underground rain. drenching you,     ¨¨^~/^@&##
###&@^/~^¨   lathering you. infused with oils and   ¨^~/^@&###
##&@^/~^¨¨  scents. and then, also from above, the  ¨¨^~/^@&##
#&@^/~^¨¨¨    shower creatures. first their black   ¨¨¨^~/^@&#
##&@^/~^¨¨  velvet arms, touching, and then entire  ¨¨^~/^@&##
###&@^/~^¨        bodies. chests and snouts.        ¨^~/^@&###
##&@^/~^¨¨                                          ¨¨^~/^@&##
#&@^/~^¨¨¨  the creatures are meant to comfort you, ¨¨¨^~/^@&#
##&@^/~^¨¨   keep you entranced, and keep you from  ¨¨^~/^@&##
###&@^/~^¨   leaving the cabin prematurely. this    ¨^~/^@&###
##&@^/~^¨¨  whole ordeal works best if you are not  ¨¨^~/^@&##
#&@^/~^¨¨¨  transformed too early, and are instead  ¨¨¨^~/^@&#
##&@^/~^¨¨ allowed to enjoy the shower for a while. ¨¨^~/^@&##
###&@^/~^¨                                          ¨^~/^@&###
##&@^/~^¨¨    you are steamed, caressed, cleaned,   ¨¨^~/^@&##
#&@^/~^¨¨¨    modified, liquified; dissolved and    ¨¨¨^~/^@&#
##&@^/~^¨¨     drained... and then brought back,    ¨¨^~/^@&##
###&@^/~^¨   slowly, waking as the water dries off  ¨^~/^@&###
##&@^/~^¨¨    of you. cabin open to the cold air    ¨¨^~/^@&##
#&@^/~^¨¨¨ tickling your fresh-born mind. creature  ¨¨¨^~/^@&#
##&@^/~^¨¨        hands gone, you step out.         ¨¨^~/^@&##
###&@^/~^¨                                          ¨^~/^@&###
