What: Isobel goes for her spa day and some strange things happen.
Where: WiLoft Spa.
When: May 13.
"OK, we'll meet you guys in the lobby after," Isobel replied, waving as Rafe and Gabe disappeared into the men's side of the spa. She and Alice entered the women's locker room, changing into white robes provided by the establishment; they matched everything else there. White walls, white lockers, white floor tiles. Even the lighting was soft, creating an ambiance of peace.
"I think I'm gonna get a mud facial first, before the massage; I'll meet you in the hot tubs in a bit?" Isobel broke away from Alice to follow an attendant to the facials area; she turned down one hall, and into another, faintly making her wonder just how large the place was. Soon enough, though, she was distracted by an invitation to sit in a large, plush chair.
A spa employee approached her with a small pan of exfoliating mud and a stick-like tool to apply it, sitting on a nearby stool while another bent over the back of the chair, gently rubbing her temples to put her into a relaxed state. The sitting attendant began to apply the mud with gentle, careful strokes; sighing carefully, not wanting to upset the procedure being so delicately carried out, Isobel sank gratefully into the waiting arms of relaxation.
She barely felt the press of fingers around her wrist, the pressure points egging her already mostly-numb mind to slip completely into unconsciousness. That, followed by the quick prick of a needle along the back of her neck, and she was out completely.
