I poke my head out the door, but don't see anyone in the hallway.
"I don't see anyone; it still looks like there hasn't been anyone besides me coming this way in a while."
I turn around and walk back to the machine. "Oops...I think I turned on the machine by accident! It says to not press the controls while it's working!"

"You did that on purpose, didn't you" she said, sounding slightly annoyed. "Woah, it's pressing me...flaaaaaaat!" she shouted.

"Hey, you're the one who said someone was coming! I needed to hide you!"
I watch the progress on the control panel as the maid inside the device is gently but firmly pressed into a disk.

"it's squishing me! It tickles" she gasps.
"What's going on in here" asked the voice of Lord Hugo as he stepped in, looking around.

I spin around, jumping a bit at the sudden voice behind me.
"Oh! Hey! Good to see you again!" I smile at Lord Hugo, hoping he can't tell that the machine behind me is on, and also hoping that the maid inside doesn't say anything.

"Did you stay out of trouble while I was gone. Wait...how did you get back to normal shape?"

"Well, when you left, a kid came in and found me. He took me out of the room, and was bouncing me around the hallways when a maid saw us. She took me away from him, cleaned me up, and restored me."
As I talk, I adjust my position so Lord Hugo can't see the machine's control panel.

"Oh?! Where is she! I'd like to thank her for that." he said peering around.

Ah crud, this isn't gonna end well...I really hope I don't get her in trouble. I think to myself.
Out loud, I say, "Oh, I offered to transform her as a 'thank you', or let her do something to me, but she said staff weren't allowed to 'play' with the guests like that so she went back to work." I pause, and add, "Geez, I didn't even think to ask her her name! That was kinda stupid of me."

Hugo raises an eyebrow. "Did she say that she wasn't allowed to play? Must be Carlie. She's our newest maid...which means she's probably trying to act more professionally than need be. I don't mind my maids having fun when the time is there for it." he said.

I look at Lord Hugo, trying not to look relieved. I grin weakly and say "That's good to know," just as the machine behind me dings loudly.

"What was that?" Hugo asked as his head turned towards the direction of the machine.

I quickly glance to the machine, then back at Lord Hugo. I then make a valiant effort at looking innocent.
"Um...nothing. Nothing you need to worry about. Don't worry about this room, I'll clean up in here..."

After Lord Hugo shrugs and leaves, I open the device and reach in. I pull out a black disc, just over a foot and a half wide and an inch thick. The surface is completely black, except for Carlie's face and hands on the top, and the soles of her stocking feet on the bottom. I see Carlie's eyes moving around on her flat face.
"Carlie? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. When I get back to normal, you won't be" she snarled.
