"A mud bath isn't working." Jen sighed. "Again."
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Is it the same one?" Jen nodded. "Jesus, that's the third time this week Jen. Shouldn't we just call a mechanic?"
"Would if I could." Jen replied. "But that can only be approved by Francine, and you know what he's like with outside help."
Yuki knew all to well. The amount of technical issues they had was always a result of the owners not wanting to disrupt the laid back atmosphere but it meant the staff always had to deal with situations like this.
"OK let's go." Yuki said. "Hopefully we can get it working, and as soon as it's finished lets call the owners."
Jen led her down the hallways to the mud bath area. A spacious room with a glass ceiling that allowed sunlight through. Set into the floor of this room were five mud baths with the faucets all building into the wall above the head rest, four were occupied, the women within relaxing deep into the mud with only their faces showing. The sole empty one was near the entrance, and next to it stood a black hair women in a robe impatiently tapping her foot.
"It's about time you go here!" She hissed."If this thing had actually worked then I would be finished by now."
Yuki glanced at Jen who merely shrugged. "You got this?"
Yuki nodded. "Yeah. I can take it from here."
Jen walked off while Yuki slipped off her shoes and stepped barefoot into the muddy bath bottom. she tried turning the faucet for the water, only to hear a strange gurgling sound.
"Hm." She murmured. "Waters working, but it's not coming out."
"Like I care!" The women spat. "Just hurry up and fix the damn thing."
"OK, OK." Yui said. "Maybe if I just turn it full blast..."
Yuki turned the faucet all the way up and could hear the strange sound again, then she heard the sound of clattering metal, saw the faucet shaking...
"EEK!" Yuki jumped out the way just in time to see the metal faucet blast past her and hit the far wall, however the heavy jet stream of water got her instead, the force was so powerful that it hit Yuki in her stomach and caused her to slip and fall into the pure mud. Over the sound of the water steaming over top, Yuki could hear the women.
"THAT'S IT! I'm done!" I want a refund and will be in reception waiting for one! Good day!"
Jen meanwhile had heard the commotion and ran into the mud bath room just in time to see the customer storm out. She ran over the tub side and saw Yuki struggling to get out. The water stream meanwhile spluttered and died out, obviously somebody had switched the water off.
"Yuki!" Jen yelled, she reached her hand down to pull her co-worker out of the mud. "Are you OK?"
Yuki stood up, covered head to toe in thick mud, staining her uniform. "Fine all things considered. But my uniform is ruined."
Yuki went to lift her self out but Jen stopped her.
"Wait Yuki, you can't get out like that and drip mud everywhere!"
Yuki looked down at herself again. "Yeah, what should I do?"
"You might have to take that uniform off."
Yuki sighed. "Just as I thought..."
