Your guide leads you down the left corridor you go past rows of doors, all of them closed. You try to see through the clouded glass windows but can't make anything out. Eventually you come to an open door and an empty room. "If you would like to step inside and remove all your clothing the Professor will be with you shortly." Says the whatever it is before moving back down from where you came from. Stepping into the room the first thing you notice is a table, dead centre in the room. It's padded and covered with restraints as well as an assortment of joints and stuff underneath the table. It seems as though it can be move into different positions to allow access to different part of the victims body. In one corner there is a desk with a computor and normal desk items and in the other corner is a...what the heck is that? There's an odd machine almost like an MRI scanner but somethings different about it.
"Whatever, better get out of these clothes," you think. You kick of your shoes and then remove your shirt. Then in one move you pull down your pants and boxers stepping out of them and removing your socks along the way. Unsure of what to do with them you dump your clothes next to the desk and sit up on the padded table waiting for the Proffesor, your hands automatically covering your groin.
Eventually the door opens and a human man walks in. Hes about 30 with short black hair and is wearing a white lab coat. "Ah you must be Alex. I'm Professor Alex Miller!" He says with a warm smile and extends his hand "no need to be shy, im a professional, I've seen it all before," and eventually you uncover your groin to shake his hand. "Now thank you for volunteering with us today, all you have to do is stay for the entire procedure and you'll get paid. Unfortunetly, if you bottle out mid way through then no money for you. We're going to start by mapping out your tickle areas. This will provide us with information on which prototypes will be best to test on you as well as what to expect so our results are accurate. To do this we use that big machine over there." He motions to the MRI thing you noticed earlier. "What does that do?" You ask
"Well first we strap this funny looking hat to your head to measure your brain waves. Then this machine will scan you to find ever neuron receptor site on your body that responds to tickling. Once these are located, what can only be described as, a tickling laser will target and stimulate each and every one, at a time. The hat will then measure how much your brain reacts to the stimulation. The greater the reaction the more ticklish you'll be in that area."
"Erm ok, so how long will that take?" You ask, it sounds quite complex.
"It's actually pretty fast, you'll have an odd tingling sensation for about 5 seconds and then your done. Now if you'd like to lie upon the bed we can begin." You walk over to the 'bed' which is basically just a clear plastic rectangle sticking out the machine. You are instructed to lie down flat on your back with your arms above your head and once down you attempt to get some comfort on the cold hard surface but it's pretty much in vain. "Yeah sorry about that." Says Alex "but we need a see through surface so that the lasers can get the whole of your body, try not to fidget too much."
Once your in position Alex flicks some switches and you move into the machine. It's lit well and the 'bed your lying on is surrounded by a glass tube. Past the glass is a frame with a lots of mini dots seemingly randomly placed about it. You assume this is where the tickle lasers come form. Also attached to the frame is a thin box that is the length of your whole body. Alex closes over a door sealing you inside and you notice that the inside of the door is also covered in dots and has a thin box across it. "Hey can you hear me?" Alex's voice can be heard coming from speakers from somwhere inside. "Yeah!" You respond
"Ok, good. If you feel above you, you should find that hat I was talking about, could you put it on and fasten the chin strap. You feel about and manage to get it on, it's leathery with lots of wires sticking out, you can't see it but you still feel silly for wearing it. "Now I'm going to start up the machine, stay as still as you can," a humming starts and you stiffen, concentrating on not moving. The box suddenly shines a thin red strip of light across your body and then the entire frame it's attached to rotates moving it across your body. The same happens at your feet and once it's circled you it stops. Next, the lasers begin and although you can't see them you can certainty feel the effects. The lasers are one at a time but,happen so quickly that it feels like ants are simultaneously crawling across your entire body, you have to bite your tongue to stop yourself from giggling and moving.
After, 5 ticklishly long seconds it finally stops, you take off the hat and then the 'bed slides you back out the machine. "Well done, come look at this." Alex leads you over to the computer and on the screen is a 3d image of your body coloured a bit like a thermal camera would with a scale on the side, only instead of temperature it's ticklishness and God you where ticklish. You had always known but seeing it on the screen like this really hit home, you had tickle spots you never knew you had! "This is astonishing! Virtually every inch of your body is ticklish. Most of it is above average!" Alex starts to get excited "you know if all goes well then I might have to make you an offer to become a permanent tester for our tickling tools, gadgets and gizmos,"
"Erm that's all well and good," you interrupt "but can I get dressed yet?" You where still stark naked it it was beginning to feel awkward.
"Oh so sorry," Alex says and starts rummaging through one of the draws of the desk, "here this should fit nicely," he produces a pair of blue speedos which you stare at before giving him an odd look "I know, but we need access to most of your body so as little clothing as possible makes it much easier." He says. With a sigh you take the speedos and turn around to put them on. They're actually quite comfortable and fit you very well just as Alex said they would, he must have done this a lot to be able to guess your size so accurately.
"Now then," Alex says "looking at your tickle body chart I have 3 alpha stage products in mind.":
~"Firstly we have the tickle soap: it is prank soap that people can use to mess with their friends. When someone uses it to wash then little nano bots are rubbed off and attach to the area that the soap has cleaned. They will then tickle that area after a delay of two hours. The purpose is so the person has a shower in the morning and uses the soap to wash their body. Then when they go out for the day they'll have a sudden embarrassing tickle attack all over their body in public. Quite clever, eh? The nano bots are harmless and eventually just fall off the body and decay, also for testing purposes the delay has been shortened to 5 minuets."
~"your feet seem quite ticklish so I'd like to test the tickle socks on you also. They're another pranking product. We have artificially created cilia cells and integrated them into the sock fibres. So these socks are covered in microscopic little hairs. They are designed to respond to certain wavelengths that will be emitted from remote and respond by waving about in random patterns across every part of the foot the cilia touch, so that would include everywhere from the ankles down."
~"finally, we have a new restraint system to test out. These consists of cuffs that go around you wrists, biceps, waist, thighs and ankles. They interact with the earth magnetic field too fix them selves in place so need for rope or chains. They can be moved into any position and stay there, suspending the victim midair if wanted. So I could have you hogtied 3 foot of the ground and no rope hanging from the ceiling and getting in the way. Now don't think you'll be getting a brake. We need a thrashing victim to test out the strength of these cuffs so I'll be personally tickling you silly."
Once he finishes explains the door opens and in comes the creature that led you here before, "here's the alpha stage products you asked for babe," it says as it hands over 3 different sized boxers to Alex "thanks honey," Alex says as he takes them and puts them on the desk, "are we still on for dinner tonight?" It asks
"You know it," Alex responded with a smile. With that it left.
"Honey?" you ask
""Yeah we're dating," he says happily "is't she beautiful?" Well now you know it's a she. "So then!" Alex says getting back to the point "which do you want to start with?"
