"Thank you," Daisy blushed as she played with her golden locks. "You'd know, it was original hair after all."
"Darling, while it is true that I did have those locks last year, it isn't an original," the woman grabbed the tip of Daisy's hair and rubbed it between her fingers. "I do miss these locks though."
"I am happy to do a swap, on the house. Matching the carpet will be the usual fee though. Shall I book you in, Ms Walters?" Daisy saw that Ms Walters didn't have an appointment yet meaning she was here to make one. This was the usual business of S&G's Beauty Facility, all appointments must be made in person.
"You know I don't wear the same body part twice, Daisy. Also I think it's time to reinvent myself. I'd like the full package," Ms Walters eyed of Daisy's chest. "Though if you want to swap with me, I'll be happy with your breasts."
Daisy blushed again as she looked at her chest and Ms Walters. Daisy's breasts were smaller than Ms Walter's current pair and they were her originals. "Sure we can do that," Daisy hid her hesitance. She was happy to oblige Ms Walters' request as she was a valued client and tipped well. Daisy would also get a large commission by agreeing to the swap. "That's one Nu Me package, breasts to be swapped with me. Now now would you like to go about that? Individual swaps, I am obligated to remind you that there is a surcharge for each swap. Fully sourced, with a Nu Me package that can take a while."
"Sourced, of course. I want to be a whole new me all at once, not over time" Ms Walters stated.
Daisy entered the information into the system. "That's all booked in, please take a seat and a consultant will be with you shortly," Daisy gestured to the waiting area.
"Wait a second darling," Ms Walters remained at the reception desk. "I heard that I could pre-trade my parts to make sourcing a speedier process. I also believe there's some monetary gain by doing so."
"Ms Walters, I highly advice against that for the Nu Me package, you'll be stripped down to your brain." Daisy warned. "As you wouldn't be able to leave the building on your own in such a state you will either need to find a care taker to sign you out or you will have to pay housing fees."
"I know what it means, I also understand that it's the fastest way to get a new body. If I have to be a brain in a jar for a week or two, that's fine." Ms Walters didn't lose her temper but Daisy could tell by her eyes that she was getting annoyed.
Daisy returned to Ms Walters' booking and added in a pre-sale for all her parts with a footnote that her breasts would go to her. While she was there she booked herself in for a boob swap as well. "That's all sorted, now please take a seat."
"Your hair should be ready in half an hour," Bethany, one of Daisy's co-workers, said as she opened the door for a bald client.
"That you so much," Lisa replied with a smile. She couldn't help but touch her scalp.
"Would you like to hire a wig?" Daisy asked as Lisa walked by.
"No thank you, I'm trying to save money," Lisa said as she went for the door. "See you shortly."
"Bethany," Daisy chased after her co-worker before she returned to work. "Ms Walters is doing a breast swap with me, I've booked myself in for the afternoon when you don't have any more clients."
"Damn," Bethany cursed in a playful manner as she walked over to the reception with Daisy. "I lost that bet."
"I'm sorry," Daisy asked as she opened up the computer to show Bethany her current bookings.
"Oh that's right you're our latest hire, you don't know about the Breastpool. I had you pegged for another year before you'd make that swap. Now I have to swap a part of Susan's choice and we know what that's going to be." Bethany browsed the bookings. "Okay yeah, that time slot works, though that counts as your break. Now do you want the fees docked from you pay or are you able to transfer that over now?"
"Docked of course, saves a little on taxes" Daisy confirmed.
"Ms Walters, please come on through," Bethany called out and lead Ms Walters through the door.
"Wow, you're looking great, Carrie," Daisy praised their person trainer. Sure she had a few stretch marks and excess skin but that could all be ironed out. "How big was the lady again?"
"One hundred and fifty kilograms. I got her down to sixty. It was some effort, I'm glad we charge by the kilo. Mind giving her a call to see when she's available to swap over? Also is Janice free?"
Daisy opened up Janice's schedule. "She's still in the middle of a skin replacement procedure, she should be free within the hour though. Ms Turner's body is here for her daily workout." Daisy grabbed the office phone and dialed internally. "Hi Susan, Carrie just came in, are you free to do a quick head swap? No Janice is still with a client. Bethany is with Ms Walters. Okay Great.." Daisy disconnected the call but kept the phone in hand. "Go right on in Carrie." Carrie walked over to the door and entered her pass code. Daisy browsed the client database and found the contact number she was looking for.
"Hi, Mrs Jackson? This is Daisy from See and Gee's. I'm calling to let you know that your body is ready for pick up. I understand, however that body was on a lease. The terms of service clearly stated you have three days to return the body after the job is completed. I understand that, you're going to have to take that up with Carrie. Mrs Jackson if you do not return the body in a timely manner I'm afraid we're going to have to reposes it. Yes we can do that. Well there'd be an additional cost to get your body back. In that case your body would become our property. Yes it as bad as it sounds. So I'll see you this afternoon? Great." Daisy kept a calm demeanor whole phone call, even when threatening Mrs Jackson. She wasn't the first person to try and keep a personal trainer's body and she wouldn't be the last. She clicked the blacklist icon next to her name on the client list, indicating after she got her body back, she would no longer be eligible for any future services.
"Daniele Dalton!" Daisy left the reception desk and power walked towards the actress as she entered the door with her agent. "It's lovely to see you again. I must say that your last movie was absolutely amazing. The client's arm has completely mended by the way."
"A pleasure as always, Daisy." Daniele's agent stated. "Now can you get one of your consultants?"
"Right away sir," Daisy headed back towards her desk and called Bethany on the intercom. "Bethany, I know your busy with Ms Walters however Ms Dalton is here with her agent. Really? I'd be honored." Daisy hung up the phone and put up a back in thirty minutes sign on the counter. "Our other consultants are currently unavailable, however I am fully trained in this area. Now would you follow me please." Daisy keyed in her code and took Daniele and her agent down into one of the offices. "Can I get either of you a drink?"
"No thank you," the agent waved his hand as Daniele and he took a seat. "Now Daniele has a particularly unusual request this time around. You might not be aware but recently a Magnificent Man movie was announced and Ms Dalton wishes to audition. Now these comic book fans, they can be relentless so I need you to source body parts to match this character as closely as possible."
"We can do that most certainly, now who exactly will Ms Dalton be playing?" Daisy asked as she logged in and began a new work order.
"Why the lead of course," Danielle spoke up.
"Wait, so that means..." Daisy was flabbergasted.
"Yes, I want you to make me a man. Well we can skip downstairs, it's a PG Thirteen movie after all. Oh and as per usual my body is not to be handed out." Danielle demanded. "So can you make this happen or not?"
"For you Ms Dalton anything. So we're going to need to scout for what you require and bring in people not familiar with our service. I assume that your stunt double will also be using this body?" Daisy clarified as she started entering the details into the computer.
"Of course," her agent confirmed. "As no one will be able to use Ms Dalton's body, I expect that we will need to compensate for that as well?"
Daisy paused for a moment and opened up the Ms Walters' job. She put all her traded in parts on hold. "No, we're happy to waver this fee for now. Though as we'll be dealing with cross gender parts there's usually a surcharge for that, however once again we're happy to waver that fee." Daisy began to complete the order. "I'm sure Ms Dalton is a busy woman and this is a comic book character so if you're able to give me a source image we can fill out the order ourselves."
"That's wonderful. I believe they reinvented the character about five or so years ago so look for the first few issues of Magnificent Man from two thousand and fourteen. Email me with what you've got once you're done. Also this needs to be done ASAP."
"Will do, it was lovely meeting you again. Also if you know anyone who wants to borrow a face for a role, I'm happy to oblige," Daisy grinned as she gestured to her face.
"We'll see..." Danielle commented as she stood up. Daisy lead the two of them back to the reception where a blind woman was waiting.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I forgot you were coming in today," Daisy rushed back to her desk, not able to give Danielle or her agent a proper farewell. "I was just with a client, I'll let Susan know you're here." Daisy dialed the intercom. "Hi Susan, Jackie is here to pick up her eyes."
Susan was out a moment later and guided the blind woman down the hall.
"Daisy, why do you have Ms Walters' parts on hold?" Bethany demanded as she confronted Daisy. "It's a lot harder to source parts for someone when we have nothing for offer!" She berated.
"I know, Ms Walters knew the risk in sourcing a whole new body at once. Ms Dalton does not wish anyone to have her body parts so instead of rotating employees like last time, I figured we could use Ms Walters instead." Daisy explained.
"That's.... actually smart. However if Ms Walters complains about being stuck like that for too long, it's your head on the line. She's a well paying customer." Bethany conceded.
"I understand, though we can tell her it was hard to source the parts she was asking for," Daisy knew what she was doing. "On a side note, can we part with one of our male personal trainers for a while. Ms Dalton's hoping to take up a male role so we need a man's body to offer for trades. Don't worry about the dick though."
"I suppose we could have Timothy do that. I'll put him on women that want to keep their breast fat," Bethany pondered as she went to return to her office.
"Mrs Jackson will be in this afternoon for her body and Lisa will be back soon for her hair. In the meantime I'm emailing you a few photos of how Ms Dalton wishes to look," Daisy reminded her.
"Very well, keep up the good work."
