Windsday

Haylee began protesting as Twinky Winky grabbed Nicki by her hair and hurled her into the chair Vera had been sitting in. The impact roused Nicki instantly, but before she could react, her wrists and ankles were restrained.

"Well aren't you something. Mighty fancy clothing for a colony folk. Where'd ya get it?" Vera snarled.

Nicki was too shocked to answer, still trying to get her bearings.

"OI, I SAID where'd you get your clothes from!? We only provide rags, for you animals and that's so we don't have to look at the unsightly sight of your nude bodies. And don't think of giving me the whole "Colony 69 has dress code acceptations" bullshit. I've been to your colony, executed many there, and the clothes they wore would be akin to just hand-me down thrift store rags. The hell are your clothes so crisp and clean!?"

Nicki's heart thumped as she finally processed the question. "No, I can't tell her... She'll only get mad..."

The truth of the matter was actually more convoluted than one might think. Back in the day, poor Nicki's general apparel consisted of a filthy nightgown dress and flimsy flip-flops. Her hair was also filthy and a potential source for an outbreak of lice, leading to talks early on of shaving her bald.

The officials ultimately decided against it, as they felt it would be more entertaining to watch the humans be subjected to a lice outbreak, even joking they'd refuse to shave anyone's heads and confiscate any thing that could be used to cut hair. Even rocks, which could be used to start a fire were on the table as one official joked he didn't want the colony to smell like burnt hair, a smell he deemed worse than the odor of Twinky Winky's stinky feet.

What ended up happening was Kyutee herself intervened. Taking an interest in Nicki for some odd reason, she ordered that she be allowed to use the bathing facility at the colony reserved for Leeannan official's use only. Then in went the scruffy girl, out came the drippy girl. The clothes were selected by Kyutee herself, and while all at the colony knew of it's origin, it didn't mean Nicki could just say that.

All the Leeanan's hated that order and constantly cursed Kyutee behind her back for it. Vera was one of those people. Nicki didn't know this, so Vera held all the cards in the interrogation, an interrogation set to morph into full blown torture, with Vera struggling to keep up the interrogator act for just a bit longer before unleahing her plan to  traumatize and humiliate Nicki AND Haylee.

"Don't touch her, you bitch!" Haylee shouted, still trapped in place, but resisting with all her might.

"Oh don't worry, I'M not gonna touch her," Vera malevolently sneered as her face curled into an evil smile.

She quickly aimed her weapon at Nicki and fired, hitting her square in the mouth with a glob of red hot candle wax. Nicki's pained and muffled screams echoed out as she shook her head about frantically, desperately trying to shake the wax off, but it was to no avail.

"See, didn't physically touch her. And even if you try and go into technicalities, that's all I'm gonna go to her. Gu-gu, shave specimen 03302015.0800 bald... fully clothed.

Nicki's heart began beating faster as Haylee struggled more ferociously. It was shocking just how much strength and utility the Gu-gu had as it not only continued to restrain Haylee, but also summoned a taser, much like the one Kyutee wielded, and inched it closer to Nicki's hairline.

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER HAIR! Shave me bald, skin me alive, f*ck me up for all I care! But don't you dare hurt Nicki!" Haylee shouted.

Vera turned, scowling, and aimed her weapon at Haylee's mouth. However, she refrained from firing, and instead brought back her unsettling smile.

"Oh perfect idea. Gu-gu, shave specimen 03302015.0900 bald, fully clothed as well."

With two tentacles still to spare, Gu-gu not only restrained Haylee, but shaved her bald along with Nicki. Haylee could take the bald. Sure, she preferred having hair, but being bald wouldn't phase her. Nicki on the other hand was having a panic attack as her sanctuary of hair was slowly gobbled up by the taser razor.

Within seconds, both girls were devoid of hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes, but naturally their makeover was far from over as next came the bald gloop. Nicki's muffled screams only got more frantic while the normally unphasable Haylee was beginning to shed tears at the humiliating sensation she was subjected to.

"This is... messed up! F*ck that octo-slime bot!" she thought as the gloop was sucked off her.

Next up was the beauty gloop, giving a brief moment of calm to the girls as it allowed them to calm their mental states down a bit. Nicki was still in tears though.

"My hair... MY HAIR! I'm bald. I'm bald and hideous! I can't hide! They're all going to laugh at me! This is why that bitch was so nice to me! She knew it would end up like this!" she thought.

Her thoughts were so jumbled, that she had forgotten something key, or rather, SOMEONE key to why things ended up like this.

From the shadows, Vanilla snuck through the ruins of the building until she found a large steel door under a wall with the letters "eli" just barely still hanging with a letter "D" on the floor below. She reached for the door handle, but by doing so, triggered a small green holographic screen with a hand print displayed on it to appear.

"So this is what they meant. Well, talk about convoluted. But guess it's effective for preventing an early riser. Now, time to rise and shine, archangel," she thought as she placed her hand on the screen.

The screen whirred for a bit before vanishing and opening the door. "Statiz chamber unlocked. Proceed to enter."

The noise immediately grabbed the three goons' attention as they spun in the direction of the noise.  Nicki and Haylee, now able to see again as the beauty cream had just been sucked off them, also turned, the distraction providing a brief out for Nicki's panicked state.

Over at the chamber, the door opened to reveal a room of ice, and on it's floor, a frozen mummified woman. Vanilla leaned down, extending her hand towards the woman, but as she touched her, the woman shattered into shards of ice, leaving nothing but scraps of the bandages she was encased in.

"No... NO! It can't be!" Vanilla cried aloud as she staggered out in horror.

"Well, well, well, look who it is. The rogue archangel herself, Windsday," Vera's voice rang out.
