Chapter 32: New Job Mei Ling managed to find a way to stop the voices after a few days or so, but she couldn't find out how to remove the nanobots completely. Artemis couldn't leave the house during that time because she kept stripping. The boys kept getting nosebleeds too, but Roy learnt to close his eyes whenever Artemis reached for her Dark Lineros's buttons. Lopez had fainted from blood loss. Jakito was't having any trouble though, apparently he didn't have much room for emotions in his mind. "How do you remove it then?" Artemis asked excitedly. "I modified the nanobots programming. I'll need to send some more into our bodies to actually stop it." Mei Ling held up the object and placed it on Artemis's arm. She pressed the button and removed it again. "I changed them to let them spread the reprogramming I did like a virus, so just wait a while." Mei Ling explained, placing it on my arm. "Problem is, the more nanobots there are, the more fat is shunted at any single time, but you'd rather have that than stripping everywhere, right?" she grunted as she did herself. "If this keeps up, I won't be able to fit through the door." Artemis sighed. "I'm gonna go have a swim." I stood up and climbed down the ladder leading to the swimming pool's cave. I grabbed a swimsuit in the changing room, then slipped into the pool. However, just as I was completely immersed in the water, I received a bit of an electric shock. I quickly got out of the pool and stared at the water for a few seconds. "Surprises, surprises. Immersing your body completely in water short-circuits the nanobots." Mei Ling stared into a microscope. "Good!" I smiled. "I'm gonna go take a dip. I think my hips have gotten too big already." she looked down at herself. I noted that her hips were about the size of two basketballs now. "Also, I think I glitched the programming." she tossed her hair, which I just realized was way longer. "It lengthens hair now. I wonder how long Artemis's hair got?" she ran to the pool. Artemis did not look happy with her new hair length. It was so long it reached her feet, and the front covered half her face. Indeed, I saw her tripping over it a few times. "I've had enough of my hips swelling up already!" she declared once I told her about water short-circuiting the nanobots and ran off towards the pool. A few seconds later, I heard a bumping sound from the stairs, followed by loud swearing. "Looks like she tripped over her hair." the Siren remarked. 30 minutes later, Artemis walked up. She tugged at her hair. "I need a haircut." she grumbled and tripped over her hair again. I helped her up, hiding my laugh. "Again." the Siren snickered. "Haha." she snorted and looked around for a pair of scissors. Artemis passed the scissors to me, admitting that she didn't want to accidentally cut too much hair off. "Oh, so you care about looks now?" I smiled. "I guess I'm destined to be a girl, the way things keep turning out, so might as well make a good one." she shrugged. I cut the part of her front hair that was hanging over her eyes off. "Do you want short hair, waist-length hair, or do you just want me to shorten it a bit?" I asked. "Maybe just a bit. I don't wanna trip over it again." she grunted. Roy arrived at home a few hours later, holding a piece of paper. "I found a job for you, Artemis!" he said triumphantly and passed the piece of paper to Artemis. She ran her eyes over it for a few seconds. "You sure about this?" she asked. "You should make a great teacher." Roy nodded. "But I don't really know how to teach!" Artemis protested, throwing the paper into the air. I caught it. South Henesys School for Young Hunters Teacher wanted. Call 9876-54321 for more details Author's Note: Fictional phone number. Kinda obvious. |
