Hypno-Ween Janine (Slimed)
🕑 Added 2025-10-22 16:00:25 +0000 UTCAs the alarm rang, four Ghostbusters rushed passed a table containing a large jar in their lab as they hurried to get down the fire pole. The label on the jar ‘Mood Slime: Psychomagnotheric Resonance Potential (Spengler)’ .
Downstairs, alone in the dimly lit Ghostbusters headquarters, Janine Melnitz tapped a pencil against her desk. Her phone receiver was wedged between her shoulder and ear.
"Five nights this week, Cheryl," Janine sighed into the phone, twisting the coiled cord around her finger. "Egon’s sleeping next to that jar again. Says it’s ‘recording dream-state emotional frequencies.’" She rolled her eyes, but a faint smile touched her lips. "Honestly, it’s kinda sweet. In a weird, Egon way."
Above her, on the cluttered lab table Egon shared with Ray, the sealed jar of iridescent pink goo pulsed faintly. It had been knocked sideways when Peter bumped the table rushing out to a deal with a Class 5 Full-Roaming Vapor. A hairline crack snaked down its side. Ooze seeped through the gap, pooling on the warped floorboards.
It pooled in the ceiling at a low spot, the weight forcing open a smaller crack in the ceiling above Janine’s workstation. It hung, trembling, for a heartbeat. Then it fell. Cold, startlingly slick, it landed squarely in her vibrant red hair. She gasped, jerking upright. "Cheryl? Something just—" Her voice cut off abruptly. The pencil clattered to the floor. Her eyes widened, then went utterly blank.
A strange, fizzy warmth bloomed where the slime touched her scalp, spreading rapidly outward. It felt like static electricity mixed with cheap champagne bubbles. Her shoulders slumped, tension draining away. The coiled phone cord slipped from her finger. "Cheryl?" she murmured, her voice flat and distant. "Gotta... gotta go." She hung up the receiver without another word, the plastic clunk echoing in the sudden silence.
Slowly, deliberately, Janine slid her chair back. She bent forward at the waist, movements smooth and unnaturally precise. Her fingers went to the buckle of her sensible pumps. The soft click sounded unnaturally loud. She slipped them off, one after the other, placing them neatly side-by-side under the desk. Then, she peeled off her sheer stockings, rolling them down her calves with meticulous care. Her bare feet, pale and soft, pressed flat against the cool linoleum. She straightened, a serene, vacant smile touching her lips.
She turned towards the empty garage bay doors, her expression expectant, almost hopeful. Her toes flexed slightly against the floor. "Anyone?" she called out, her voice unnervingly bright and chirpy, devoid of its usual Brooklyn edge. "Would anyone like... my feet?" She tilted her head, waiting patiently for a command that hadn't yet come, her mind utterly consumed by Egon's subconscious yearning. The pink slime glistened faintly in her hair.
With deliberate, puppet-like grace, Janine lifted her right foot, then her left, placing her bare soles flat onto the cluttered desktop. Files slid sideways; a coffee mug wobbled precariously. Some of the psychomagnotheric slime, tracking its way down her neck had pooled on the top of her feet earlier and dribbled down her toes as she lifted them up. It shimmered briefly before seeming to soak into her skin, intensifying the vacant bliss in her eyes. She smiled beatifically at her own feet.
The heavy metal door to the garage bay groaned open unexpectedly. Egon Spengler stepped inside, his expression preoccupied, adjusting his glasses. "Janine, I require the spectral gigameeee..." His sentence died mid-word. His gaze locked onto the scene: Janine perched behind the desk, her bare feet prominently displayed atop it, her posture unnaturally still, her eyes wide and unfocused, yet radiating a disturbing eagerness. His usual stoic facade cracked. A muscle twitched near his jaw. His glasses slid down his nose, forgotten. "Janine?" His voice was uncharacteristically tight, a whisper laced with shock and a dawning, horrifying comprehension.
He stared, frozen. His meticulous mind, trained on quantifiable phenomena, raced through impossible equations. The jar upstairs... must have spilled... the slime's properties... his own suppressed... desires. The evidence was irrefutable, horrifyingly intimate. His pale cheeks flushed crimson. "This... this is an uncontrolled psychokinetic manifestation," he stammered, the clinical phrase utterly inadequate. He took a single, jerky step backward, his hand instinctively reaching for a proton pack that wasn't there, his scientific detachment utterly shattered by the visceral reality of his deepest secret made flesh – or rather, made barefoot.
Janine remained perfectly still, her unnerving smile fixed, her bare soles presented on the desk like an offering. Her vacant eyes tracked him. "Dr. Spengler?" she chirped, the cheerful tone utterly alien. "Would you... like my feet?" The question hung in the air, a grotesque parody of normalcy fueled by his own subconscious. Egon swallowed hard. The rationalization formed instantly: She's not conscious. She won't remember. This is... data. A desperate, trembling logic took hold. "Observation," he breathed, more to himself than to her. "Recording subject response to... external stimuli." He inched closer, his gaze locked on her pale arches, the delicate curve of her toes. His breath hitched.
He stopped inches from the desk. His hand, usually steady for calibrating spectral analyzers, shook visibly as he reached out. The air crackled with tension – scientific curiosity warring with profound violation. His fingertips hovered, trembling, a hair's breadth above the soft skin of her instep. The scent of warm skin and faint lotion reached him, utterly mundane yet devastatingly potent under the circumstances. This wasn't a ghost; this was Janine, his Janine, hollowed out and displayed. Yet, the slime's insidious pull, amplified by his own buried yearning, was overwhelming. He touched her.
The contact was electric. A jolt shot through Egon, part scientific thrill, part profound shame. Her skin was unexpectedly warm, soft beneath his tentative touch. Janine emitted a soft, contented sigh, her head tilting slightly. "Feels nice," she murmured dreamily. Egon flinched but didn't pull away. He traced the arch, his touch feather-light, mesmerized by the sheer vulnerability and the horrifyingly perfect compliance. His thumb brushed the ball of her foot. Data. It was all data. He repeated the mantra silently, ignoring the frantic hammering of his heart against his ribs. He sank to his knees before the desk, the gesture sudden and awkward. His gaze fixed on the soles presented above him. The sheer absurdity of the position – Dr. Egon Spengler kneeling before his secretary’s bare feet – was lost in the slime's insistent pull and his own unleashed fascination. He leaned closer, inhaling the faint, clean scent of her skin beneath the ghostly residue of the pink ooze. His lips brushed against her heel, a hesitant, almost reverent contact. Janine sighed again, deeper this time, a sound of pure, vacant bliss. Egon closed his eyes, lost for a moment in the forbidden sensation, the softness, the utter surrender. His own suppressed yearning surged, amplified tenfold by the psychomagnotheric residue clinging to her skin.
His hands moved now with a desperate, focused intensity, no longer trembling. He cradled her right foot, his thumbs pressing into the arch with a pressure that was both scientific assessment and fervent exploration. He traced the delicate tendons, the curve of the toes, the subtle ridges of her sole, mapping every detail as if it held the secrets of the universe. A low hum escaped him, unintentional, born of deep concentration and overwhelming sensation. He pressed his cheek against her instep, the coolness of her skin a stark contrast to the heat flooding his face. The slime seemed to thrum beneath his touch, feeding the feedback loop – his desire fueling its power, its power amplifying his desire.
"Subject exhibits heightened epidermal sensitivity," he murmured, his voice thick and muffled against her skin, the clinical jargon a flimsy shield. "Increased capillary dilation noted. Neuromuscular response... passive." His fingers slid between her toes, gently separating them, studying the webbing, the subtle flex. He pressed a kiss to the ball of her foot, then another, trailing kisses along the arch towards her ankle. Each touch sent a visible tremor through Janine, accompanied by soft, breathy sighs. Her vacant eyes stared past him, fixed on some unseen point, her smile unwavering. "Observed release of endorphins," Egon choked out, his own breathing ragged. "Marked... physiological response to... tactile stimuli." He buried his face deeper, inhaling, tasting the faint saltiness.
He lingered at her toes, his lips brushing each digit, before pulling back abruptly. His glasses were fogged. The frantic pulse in his temples hammered against his skull. The slime. The vector. It clung to her skin, glistening faintly. "Janine," he rasped, forcing authority into his voice despite its tremor. "Clean your skin. Thoroughly."
Her head tilted obediently. "Yes, Dr. Spengler." Her voice remained unnaturally bright. She slid her feet off the desk with the same eerie grace, landing silently on the linoleum. Barefoot, she padded towards the restroom without a backward glance.
Egon watched her disappear, then slumped against the desk, trembling. He fumbled for a handkerchief, wiping residue of his saliva from his lips and chin. The silence pressed in, broken only by the distant hum of the containment unit. His mind raced. Removal of the residue might break the psychic link. Restore her autonomy. But if it didn't... if she remembered... The experiment requires replication. The thought surfaced, cold and clinical amidst the turmoil. He needed more slime. Carefully synthesized. Controlled parameters. Future sessions... for data acquisition. His gaze flickered towards the stairs leading to the lab, then back towards the restroom door. A flicker of something akin to hope warred with the gnawing shame. He needed to know if she'd remember. He needed to prepare.
The restroom door clicked open. Janine emerged, rubbing her damp hair with a paper towel. Her feet were bare and clean, no trace of pink. She blinked, her brow furrowed slightly, looking around the office as if seeing it for the first time since hanging up the phone. Her gaze landed on Egon, leaning heavily against her desk. "Egon?" Her voice held its familiar Brooklyn cadence, laced with confusion. She glanced down at her bare feet, then back at him. "Did I... spill coffee? Why are my shoes off?" She rubbed her temple. "Cheryl was talking about her cousin's wedding... then... everything's kinda fuzzy." She looked at him, genuinely perplexed. Egon straightened, pushing his glasses firmly up his nose. "Minor... electrostatic discharge, Janine," he stated, his voice regaining its usual clipped precision, though a faint tremor lingered beneath the surface. "Entirely harmless. I was... monitoring the residual ionization." He avoided her eyes, focusing intently on a spot above her head. "Please resume your duties." Inside, his mind was already calculating the precise formula for a new batch of Mood Slime, the potential variables, the absolute necessity for future... observation.
