After taking a bath, you wore comfortable cotton pajamas. It's big and baggy, which made it have a good airflow on your skin. Slowly, the world around you slowed down and turned mushy. Your movements slowed down as well, and before you know it, you've collapsed on Benjamin's bed, fast asleep.
Whether by conscious action or a knee-jerk reaction from your original body, you were pushed out of Benjamin's mouth. You were flung into the air and the carpeted floor of the room. As you landed, strange energies bubbled on your surface. You've grown a few feet taller and the sensations in your surface conformed to definite shapes. You felt more solid than before, and the signs of light returned to your body. You looked in the mirror to see that you've returned to your original form. But with singular thought reminiscing your prior form, you could return to your slime body. It means you can transform back and forth, which got tiring after a couple of cycles.
Benjamin is fast asleep. His sleep is so deep that his mouth is hanging white open, with a loud gurgling snore filling the room. Benjamin only ever snored when he is in a deep sleep, which means he'll be asleep for about 8 hours at the least. That's enough time for whatever Jakob has planned out for the both of you.
As you walked out Benjamin's door, you hit something hard when you opened the door. You leaned to see that it was Jakob. He's clutching for the doorknob and inches away from falling at the stairs beside the door. His hands slipped, still wet from the shower, and his entire body tumbled down the stairs.
It came with a thud… thud… thud… splash?
At the final steps of the stairs, Jakob's body turned transparent and splashed against the wall. The spurts of water quickly coalesced into a singular mass before shifting back to Jakob's original body.
"What the fuck!?" Jakob said.
You jumped down the flight of stairs with your gelatinous form and returning to your human form upon landing. "You're a slime too!" Looking back at the stairs, you reasoned the stairs must contain strange powers. Or maybe it was cursed? Falling down its steps is the key for it to give you powers. You thought that maybe you can push Benjamin later and see if your hypothesis is correct.
There is a smile plastered on Jakob's face. A smile full of mischief and excitement, and then there was another expressive display hiding in the tent of his shorts. He raised a hand that turned translucent against the light. He relished in the fractals of light emerging from his fingertips. Together, you did the same thing and held his hand. Both gelatinous limbs remained separate from each other by a thin slimy film but you could still feel the other's cold touch.
Jakob revved up the dingy car your father bought from a distant relative. He drove around the neighborhood before stopping by a cul-de-sac where large mansions stood. You've never been to this place but you've heard of it. This is where the rich residents of your neighborhood live, aside from the newly built streamer house where wannabe internet influencers do their cringe-inducing videos.
"I was planning on giving you a choice on who to possess in this neighborhood," Jakob said. "You still have that choice but I have a person I want to test out these new powers on. Meet me here after you possessed someone."
