Oh, shit.
“And a few tampons while you’re at the convenience store in the sky. I hope that’s possible!”
A bowl appeared in the middle of the room at waist-height. Water flowed in a soft trickle from the back side, spilling into the bowl, though it didn’t fill it. I couldn’t tell where the water went or came from, but as long as it wouldn’t make me sick, I’d use it.
What looked like an ordinary toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste appeared beside the bowl, along with a package of flossers—the generic kind I preferred over the brand name.
“How do you know what I use?” I asked. Had the Zuldrux god scanned my mind to discover information like this? I didn’t want to think about that, or I’d really start crying.
I decided to call his shroom god Alexa, because the thought of conversing with a real god made words choke off in my throat. “Thank you, Alexa.”
I flossed and brushed my teeth, and the water tasted amazing. Not even a hint of chlorine, though they probably didn’t have that here. I wasn’t going to ask for it either, though there had to be germs on this planet I should avoid.
“Should I have inoculations or am I safe from Zuldrux germs?” I asked after I’d finished spitting and rinsing my mouth.
Alexa did not reply.
“How about a hot bath?” I asked.
A tub big enough for four Xaxes appeared on one side of the room, brimming with steaming water.
OMG, yes.
I stripped, moaning and groaning about my sore body, and slipped into the tub, watching with wide eyes as my gown was absorbed into the floor and a new, neatly folded outfit appeared in its place. It wasn’t magic. I didn’t believe in anything like that. But I had no explanation for how this was possible.
When little bowls of what looked like shampoo and conditioner, plus a wedge of soap and a loofah appeared on the side of the tub, I moaned out my pleasure.
“Thank you, Alexa,” I said.
A bath bomb appeared next to the shampoo.
Xax suggested his gods enjoyed praise as much as me. Who didn’t enjoy positive reinforcement? However, I wasn’t convinced a true god lived inside these giant mushrooms, existing solely to serve Zuldruxian whims in exchange for verbal rewards.
“I wish you could tell me more of your history and why you’re here on this planet,” I said. And why Xax’s gods had decided Earth was a great place to go shopping for Zuldrux brides.
Squeaky clean and with my hair wrapped in the heated towel that appeared when I stepped out of the tub and onto the floor that had generated a bathmat, I dressed in the nightie Alexa provided.
“How about some panties?” I asked the ceiling. “Please, oh wonderful Alexa.” I added the last bit almost for fun.
A matching pair of pink underwear appeared where the gown had been left, along with three tampons. “Hopefully, those aren’t going to be rationed.” I didn’t need them yet, but I was sure I would eventually.
Ten more appeared.
“What a good girl,” I said.
The lights flashed overhead.
Chapter 13
Xax
After a very long time, Amanda emerged from the bathing chamber. She walked slowly, and I could tell she was sore.
“Are you alright?” I asked as she paused outside the door dressed in a pink gown similar to the one she’d arrived in. Her feet were bare, and her cute pink toes curled on the soft floor.
“Did you know Alexa has a praise kink just like me?” she asked.
“Who’s Alexa?”
