Chapter 5 - the second assignment

We woke up around noon, still feeling awful. The room was more crowded this time, despite the variety of sizes they all ranked in the fat side. Since it was lunch time, most of the people were gathered around a table filled with all kinds of food.

Since we both were still way to full we seated on a couch nearby, it didn’t take much for a fat girl to approach us.

“You two are the rookies, right? I’ve heard they sent you to the Fitzgeralds, they are tough! They sure gave Gavin a hard time” she said.

“A hard time and 50 lbs” shouted Gavin from across the room.

“I’m Michel by the way, do you guys want something to eat?” She asked.

“We’re not hungry, still very full from earlier. I don’t think we can eat another bite besides there was a mistake, they made us sign the wrong contract and we are not feedees” Kim answered.

“Oh I see, by mistake or not you’re only free after your contract is over or you pay the termination fine. Unless you have U$200,000,000.00 I can’t help you with that, but I think I have something that can help with the sore bellies, I’ll be right back” she said leaving us.

“U$200,000,000.00?! How are we going to get this money?” Kim said “If I kill Dan and go to jail am I free from this?”

“Look, we will come up with a solution, but until then we will have to play along” I replied as Michele.

“Here we go, one for you and one for… Joseph, right?” she said giving us a plastic cup containing 2 pills, one red and one yellow.

“You can call me Joe, What are those pills?” I asked.

“Well, everyone calls them ‘a little help’, the red ones trigger your brain to think that you are hungry, we use it before meeting the guests. The yellow one helps our body to recover, it fastens the process of digestion and absorption of the food we consume, we use it after meeting with the guests. You can buy it in any station” she explained while handing us glasses of water.

We took the pills, if that could help with the discomfort on our stomachs we would try it, and surprisingly they worked within minutes. We felt like we hadn't eaten all day and if it wasn’t for the small bloat that we both had we would believe that.

we followed Michele to the food table and grabbed a plate, probably because of the pills everything looked delicious, I grabbed a burger while Kim grabbed some fried chicken.

“Hey dumb rookies, are you really going to eat the same crap the guests feeds you?” Shouted Gavin making everyone around laugh.

“Hey, Gavin. Why don’t you shut up? At least they didn’t cry in their first meeting with a guest” Michele answered making Gavin turn red “Don’t mind him, he’s just messing with you”

at 1pm our watches buzzed with a name and address: Richard Collins, 10 Borneo street.

“Who did you get?” Asked Michele, peeking our watches.

“Richard Collins” I showed the watch.

“He is nice! Always throwing parties and if he likes you he’ll send you nice gifts” She said showing us a golden necklace. “Only thing is: I hope you don’t mind some nudity”

We said our goodbyes, took our pills and picked the costumes they ordered for us, for me tiny swimming trunks and for Kim a tiny bikini. It didn’t take much to arrive there, before ringing the bell we could hear the music and a lot of voices chatting.

We were greeted by a mid aged man completely naked.

“Perfect! You are here! I’m Richard!” He warmly said while shaking our hands “The party is in the back by the pool, it’s not a fancy meeting, just a few friends. You’ll be our main attraction! All you have to do is stay seated on your thrones and our guests will feed and pamper you, ok?”

We nodded and followed him, when we got there we were greeted by at least 15 people all naked, despite our shock we went to the two thrones placed in the middle of the yard and waited.

For the first hours occasionally someone would stop by to feed us something and ask stuff like how long we were doing this or how big we wanted to get, but we didn’t draw much attention. At 5 pm the music stopped and Richard started a speech about the opportunity we were having to live in this century and just like the ancients worshiped fat bodies we should do it too. Despite the seriousness of the crowd, Kim and I couldn’t hold our laughs, mainly because of the sound effects added after some of his catchphrases. Our smiles disappear when he announced what was going to happen next.

“Brothers and Sisters, and we’ll take the opportunity the gods given to us to free this young couple from their skynny form, Let the feast begin” As he said four guys strapped us to the thrones and brought four food carts, after they parked it next to us they revealed all the food it contained.

I wish I could describe better, but I can’t quite remember what happened, all the guests made a line and started feeding us despite our protests, all I remember was a bunch of hands feeding me and caressing my expanding belly, when they were done I was beyond stuffed and half conscious. All I heard was Richard making another speech.

“We thank the gods for these brave volunteers and ask for the gods a safe journey for the next years” I heard him shout as I passed out in the food coma.
