Of all the times for my car to finally give up the ghost, it had to do it now, in the middle of nowhere during an awful storm. In a flash of lightning, I see an old house in the distance. Thinking I can use thir phone or at least beg a place to sleep for the night, I fight my way to the house and knock on the front door.

The door creaked open and a maid stood there.
"Hello!" she said cheefully. "Welcome to the Prosperio Mansion. Oh my...you are soaking wet! Come in! Come in!"

"Thank you so much!" I gasp, shivering as I enter the mansion. "My c-c-car br-broke down and I-I couldn't g-get any signal. C-can I use your ph-phone?"

"Oh. I...dear. We don't actually have a working phone at the moment, but you are more than welcome to wait out the storm, and we can get you a ride into town when it passes."

"Fair enough." I nod. "Sh-shame about the phone, b-but I r-r-really apprec-c-iate you l-letting me stay here." I rub my arms, trying to get some warmth into them, I'm freezing thanks to all that rain!

"Head up to the third room on the right, I'll have some dry clothes brought up for you soon." she said.

I nod and smile. "Thank you." My teeth are chattering a bit less now, as the mansion's warmth starts to take some of the chill away, but I'm still freezing and dripping everywhere so the offer of dry clothes is very welcome. I follow the maid's directions, and open the bedroom door.
Once inside the room, I strip out of my wet clothes, wringing the worst of the water out in the ensuite and leaving them in the sink to avoid making a mess. I dry myself off, then wrap a towel around my waist and wait for the maid to return.

The room, you noticed had a deep shade of pink to it. It was very odd, but somewhat comforting. Soon a knock came at the door.
"Hello again sir" the maids voice rang through the door. "I brought you clothes. unfortuantly it's all we had."
When the door creaked open you saw a maids outfit in her arms.

"You didn't have anything else?" I'm surprised by that- even if they didn't want to loan the master of the house's clothes to me, surely they had some other male garments. Hell, even female-cut trousers and a blouse would have been better. Still, she didn't have to give me anything I suppose. "Well, thanks anyway." I take the maid's uniform from her, forcing a smile. "I really appreciate your help."
I close the door and start getting dressed, hoping the clothes even remotely fit. I don't bother with things like the stockings- after all, I'm just wearing it for modesty, not as an actual uniform. So I start to pull on the dress, hoping it'll fit and it won't be too short.

Interestingly, the dress slipped on with ease. It fit like a glove, which was very odd, considering it was cut for a girl.

I'm surprised that the dress fits so well, but just shrug and assume the maid picked out the biggest one they had, and one of their maids was just a hefty lady. Not really having anything else to do, I start looking around the room, hoping to satisfy my curiosity- why was everything so pink?

As you look around, you notice a tag hanging off the outfit you now wore. It read "Pull to fit."

I don't get what that's supposed to mean, so I grab the label and turn it over, seeing if anything is written on the other side. As I do so, I accidentally give it a tug.

Suddenly you felt cold all over, and then the cold was replaced by tingles. Your arms dropped loosely to your sides as they felt so very numb.

What the hell just happened? Suddenly it feels like I'm in a block of ice, then my whole body starts tingling. I start to panic as I realise I can no longer move my arms. What could cause this?
