The Alasti Building: Marty's Tale
Chapter 1
I walked into Rachel's office feeling discouraged before I even sat down with her. My apartment search was going badly. I looked and looked but either what she had to show me seemed like a tenement landlords broom closet or was above an all night bowling alley. I walked up to the reception desk thinking that maybe I came to the wrong agency.
"Hi," I said to Kitty the cute young receptionist, "Could you tell Rachel I'm here."
"Hey Marty," she said smiling back and reaching for the phone.
She dialed Rachel's extension and after a few seconds said, "Mr. Fischer is here to see you. Yeah, ok I'll send him right back."
She hung up the phone and then said, "Go on back, she's waiting for you Marty."
"Thanks Kitty," I said as I walked passed her to go to Rachel's office.
"Oh and Marty," Kitty said, "I'm waiting too."
I looked over my shoulder to catch her starring at my butt and said, "If you're a good girl we can go out and celebrate after Rachel finds me an apartment."
"Ohhh I'm gonna hold you to that," She said with a wicked smile.
I laughed and said, "You can hold me to whatever you like."
"You might regret saying that someday." She said with a little laugh.
I shook my head at her smiling and walked back to Rachel's office. Kitty's desk was in front of a wall with a door way on either side. No doors, just a doorway. I walked through the doorway and then around another wall to get to the main office while thinking about Kitty. She was adorable and I would ask her out except for a few things. One, she looked like she was barely nineteen. I'm hardly an old man at twenty eight but I like to keep the girls I date to a five year range of me. Second, what if things went bad? I don't want to have to keep coming to an office where the receptionist hates me. Lastly I'm not sure I could keep up with her. It was all probably besides the point anyway. If Rachel didn't have anything for me today I'm gonna have to go looking elsewhere.
I walked up to Rachel's desk and said, "How's it going?"
"Good, and not so good Marty, have a seat." She said pointing to the chair in front of her desk.
Rachel was about thirty five years old and obviously took good care of herself. She had that New York sophistication about her that made her nice to look at. Not to mention an amazing pair of legs that just wouldn't quit.
"That doesn't sound very reassuring," I said as I sat down.
"I don't have much left that I can show you."
"Nothing? You don't have anything decent? I'm getting kind of desperate here." I said wondering how much longer my friend would loan me her couch.
"Well, I do have one more place. It's a very unusual situation and the apartment is very small."
"How unusual? How small?"
"The apartment itself consists of a roomy bedroom with a full bath, and the bathroom is the most lavish I've ever seen in Manhattan, there's an amazing kitchen with brand new appliances, chef grade actually, and a small sitting room with a large window."
"That doesn't sound so bad. What's the unusual part?"
"I can't actually tell you until you sign a nondisclosure agreement."
I looked at her for a second then asked, "You're serious?"
"Yes, these people have a special arrangement with their tenants and they don't want anyone to know about it unless they live there or deal with them professionally. I've signed this agreement and I assure you it's serious business. It's worth it if you can keep your mouth shut though."
"Let me see the agreement."
Rachel opened her bottom desk drawer and went through some files. Finally she pulls out a form and hands it to me. Unlike most legal documents I've seen this one is fairly easy to understand. It states in no uncertain terms that all matters concerning the building and it's conditions are not to be talked about. Any breach of this agreement is punishable by the full extent of the law.
"Is this document even legal? Punishable by the full extent of the law? They're going to send me to jail for talking about this building?"
"These people are very rich and very powerful Marty. They've spent a considerable amount of money to get what they want. I wouldn't sign that agreement if you have any doubt that you can keep you mouth closed."
I thought about it for a minute and then decides to sign. What did I have to loose? Rachel looked it over and then filed it away.
"Ok now I can speak more plainly. The window doesn't actually face out of the building."
"It faces inward?" I asked.
"Yes, and it's more of a wall then a window."
"Excuse me?"
"The wall that's the entrance to your apartment," Rachel said,"is made of glass. It would allow anyone walking past to see into your sitting room, kitchen and, shower."
"The shower? Anyone walking by would be able to watch me take a shower?"
"Yes but that's not that big a deal because men aren't actually allowed to wear clothes anywhere in the building."
"This is some kind of joke right?"
"I know it sounds like a joke but honestly it's not."
I looked at her waiting for the other shoe to drop but she doesn't even crack a smile.
"So would you be interested. The rent for this particular apartment would be very inexpensive and the building itself is near Union Square Park and a few blocks from Washington Square Park."
"Wow, I'd kill to live in that area."
"Yes but would you give up your clothes to live in that area?"
"I... Is this is for real?"
"I assure you it is."
I looked off in the distance for a second and then back at Rachel and asked, "How, much is the rent?"
"$350 a month."
"Now I know you're joking, $350? There's no way any place in Manhattan is renting for that. Especially a luxury apartment."
"I do have a video I can show you. Sort of a brochure for the place. However you'll have to remove your clothes before I can allow you to view it."
"Right here?" I said looking around the open office.
"No no, in the conference room where the HD player is."
"But I would have to get naked before you could let me see it?" I asked not sure what to believe anymore.
"Basically my clients want to make sure you're serious before you learn anymore about them. They also want you to understand what you're getting into."
"I see," I said thinking, "ok, I'll do it."
"Wonderful," she says smiling, "I'll show you to the conference room."
She leads me down a hallway and into the conference room. There's a medium sized round table and at the back of the room is a large HD TV with a few chairs placed in front of it.
"Wow, that's quite a set up." I said when we got to the TV.
Rachel chuckles quickly and then says, "State of the art, large screen plasma HD TV. It was provided for us by the owners of the building in oder to show the presentation in it's best light."
"Wow, I guess they do have some money to throw around."
"Wait until you see the building. Opulent is the only word I can think of that even comes close to describing it."
"I really have to be naked before I can see this video?" I asked feeling a little uneasy now that it came down to it.
"Yep, completely or I can't even show you the DVD."
"OK," I said as I started to undress.
I'm suddenly conscious that Rachel is watching my every move as I take off my clothes. I also can't help but notice how hard her nipples are. Eventually I'm down to just my pants and underwear. I hesitant to take them off as I've gotten really hard undressing in front of her for some reason. When she sees me hesitating she says, "It's usually best to just do it Marty. Putting it off only makes it more difficult."
I smiled at her awkwardly and then opened my pants and take them off. Then I pulled off my underwear letting my hard cock pop into view. I started to apologize for it but Rachel says, "Don't worry Marty that's a perfectly natural reaction and one that you'll find the women of this building enjoy seeing."
"Oh, ok," I said wondering what I was getting myself into.
"And you shave," Rachel said smiling at me, "I love a nice clean shaven cock. Now why don't you have a seat and I'll be right back with the DVD."
"Ok thanks," I said in kind of a daze.
As she walked towards the door Rachel asks, "Would you like something to drink? Soda or water?"
"Water please," I said as a reflex.
"I'll have Kitty bring it in while I get the DVD."
After the door closes behind her I realized what she just said and panicked. I was thinking about putting on my clothes and making a run for it when the door opens and Kitty walks in. I wanted to move. To cover myself or get my clothes, which were right next to me, but I couldn't get my muscles to cooperate as I watched her walk towards me.
"Here's your water Marty." She said standing in front of me holding out a bottle of water smiling.
Her eyes went up and down my naked body, stopping for a second on my hard cock before going back up to my face. I reached out to take the bottle of water from her. When my hand touched her's I somehow felt more naked then I've ever felt in my entire life.
"You're gonna love this building Marty," she said with an adorable smile.
"I, um..."
Then the door opened again and the real-estate agent and another woman came in. For some reason I felt like I was caught doing something I shouldn't have been doing. I jumped up out of the chair and took a few steps away from Kitty.
"Marty," Rachel said, "This is my boss Ms. Burk."
Ms. Burk looked to be in her late thirties, maybe early forties. While no Goddess of perfection she was attractive and well dressed. I couldn't seem to help notice that she has an incredible pair of long shapely legs. Which are nicely displayed in a business skirt that seems a little shorter then usual.
"Hello Marty, when I heard that you were interested in moving into the Alasti building I wanted to greet you personally." She said steeling a quick glance at his hard cock.
"Ms. Burk is one of the board members and helped bring the building's, concept, to life." Rachel said almost proudly.
"Oh, I see," I replied awkwardly.
"Yes, and it turned out to be much harder then I thought," she said her eyes darting down to look at at my hard cock. Then smiling she looked back into my eyes, took a step closer, brushed her fingers up the underside of my balls and up the length of my hard cock and said, "but like anything you want you just have to go after it until you get it."
When I let out a shuddering breath at the touch of Ms. Burk's fingers Kitty giggled and I heard her say quietly to Rachel, "She's my hero."
Rachel chuckles quietly and Ms. Burk looks at the two of them and smiles. Then she looks back at me and says, "Perhaps we should get on with the video. Kitty I'm going to need you back at reception."
"Yes Ma'am," Kitty says a little disappointed. Then she turns to me and says with a smile as she gently strokes my cock, "Don't forget your promise Marty."
"Oh," I said with another shudder, "your hands are so soft."
"I'm glad you like it," she says with another stroke, "I use this amazing lotion."
"You'll have to tell me about it later," Ms. Burk says to Kitty.
"Yes Ma'am," Kitty says taking the hint.
She gives me a quick kiss on the cheek, scoops up my clothes and rushes out the door.
I open my mouth to say something about my clothes but when I feel Ms. Burk's hand on my cock I close it slowly.
"Rachel why don't you put in the DVD and Marty why don't you sit here?" Ms. Burk says leading me by my cock to a chair in front of the TV.
I sit down with Ms. Burk on my left, who still hasn't let go of my cock, and Rachel on my right with the remote to the dvd player in her right hand. She puts her left on my thigh, strokes it and said, "I think this will tell you all you need to know."
She presses the play button and the video starts with a long shot of an impressive modern looking building. It's artistically designed but elegant and tasteful looking.
"Hi and welcome to the Alasti Building." A female voice says.
The camera zooms into the main entrance to show a man and a woman, both in their thirties, standing by the door. The man is dressed in slacks and a dress shirt. The woman is wearing a tasteful skirt that comes just above her knees and a blouse showing a bit of cleavage but nothing unusual.
"Hi I'm Bonnie." The woman says.
"And I'm Karl."
"We're here to introduce you to," Bonnie says.
"The Alasti Building," They say together.
"And I can guarantee you it's nothing like anything you've seen before." Karl says.
"There's no doubt about that," Bonnie says with a chuckle. "Let's go in and start the tour."
Karl holds open the door for Bonnie and they go inside.
"This is the reception area that anyone off the street has access to." Bonnie says as the camera pans around a nice but unremarkable room.
"The mail boxes are over to the left and any packages or deliveries would be left with Ben or one of the two other guys who work the front desk." Karl says going over to Benny's desk. "Hey Ben how's it going?"
"Great Karl, thanks." Ben says smiling.
"Any visitors or guests will have had to sign the non disclosure agreement before they check in with Ben. He'll either have passes for them if it's been arranged or call up to your room to let you know they're here." Bonnie says cheerfully.
"To get past Ben you'll either need one of these," Karl says holding up his thumb, "or a small army."
"Karl is just kidding of course but security is no joke at the Alasti Building. You're paying for luxury and part of that luxury is knowing that not only are your possessions and loved ones safe but so is your way of life." Bonnie says with a serious look on her face.
"When you sign the lease your thumb print will be taken and entered into the computer system," Karl says.
"The thumb scan entrance is not only for the door to the inner building but also the door to your apartment. So no worries about loosing your keys anymore. Which is especially helpful if you don't have any pockets."
"Pretty high tech for an apartment building." Karl says with an impressed look on his face.
"Well we all know this isn't just any old apartment building Karl," Bonnie says smiling, "Why don't we go inside and see why."
"Ok," Karl says turning to the entrance and raising his thumb to use on one of two doors.
"Before we go in though Karl maybe we should explain about the two entrances." Bonnie says pointing to the two doors.
"Of course," Karl says as if he's forgotten something obvious. "As a male my thumb scan will only open this door here on the right."
"But not me," Bonnie says smiling, "my thumb can get me through either door. So what's the difference between entrances?"
"Simple," Karl says. "Since men aren't allowed to wear clothes anywhere inside the building the male entrance leads straight to the undressing room."
"As a woman I have the choice of waiting for Karl inside the building or going into the undressing room with him."
"So what's your choice today Bonnie?" Karl asks.
"Are you kidding? We're going to watch you get naked!" Bonnie says almost laughing.
"I figured as much," Karl said smiling and shaking his head.
"Besides it'll also give us a chance to tour the undressing room."
"Then follow me," Karl says opening the men's door.
The camera follows the two of them into a stairway.
"The undressing room is actually one floor down from the main level." Karl says as he walks down the stairs.
"Not only is it one floor down but it's the entire floor."
"That's right Bonnie the designers realized that in order for the theme of the building to work and still be practical every man living here would still need a clothes for the outside world and access to it."
"So guys when you move in every last stitch of clothing you own will be kept down here in your own personal wardrobe." Bonnie said as they walked down the last steps onto the floor.
"And here it is," Karl says with a sweeping move of his hand.
Karl and Bonnie step to the side and the camera pans across a huge open room. Outside of large columns every so often for support there's nothing to block the view. No walls or curtains of any kind. Just rows and rows of large dark wood wardrobes and benches lined up between them. The room is busy with people, men and women. Some of the men are dressing but most are undressing. Some are walking around naked. The camera pulls back and Bonnie steps into view from the left side and Karl from the right.
"Pretty impressive huh Bonnie?" Karl asks.
"I'll say and the room is nice too." Bonnie jokes.
Karl laughs and then says, "Why don't we head down to my wardrobe?"
They walk onto the floor and down a main isle. As they go they pass plenty of guys getting undressed or naked. Some are standing around talking like it was completely natural. There are also plenty of women sitting on the benches waiting for the man they're with to finish undressing. The women are either talking with their men or each other very casually. The men and women are of all ages. The oldest looks to be around sixty and the youngest looks to be around eighteen to twenty one. It's all very natural as if it was the way the world should be. However every now and then the camera passes a naked male who's being masturbated by one or several women. The camera neither lingers nor hurries past them. It seems to show everything without shame or embarrassment but at the same time it doesn't call attention to anything either. It's as if it's saying this is just the way it is here.
They walk a little further and then Karl turns down one of the isles. He walks half way down it and then stops.
"So here is my wardrobe," Karl says pointing to it.
"Uh huh," Bonnie says obviously excited at what comes next.
"On the front you'll see the thumb scanner. As an Alasti man you'll find it gives you access to everything you need in the building. You can even use it to pay at the shops on the main level. Everything will be billed to your apartment."
"An Alasti man," Bonnie says, "can have absolutely nothing on and always have everything he needs right at hand."
Karl presses his thumb against the scanner and the lock on the wardrobe clicks. He opens the doors wide allowing the camera to see in.
"The wardrobe has space for everything you need. Down here are drawers for socks and underwear. Over there are cubbies for several pairs of shoes or sneakers. These shelves here are for my shirts and pants. You can hang suits or anything formal that you don't want wrinkled over here." Karl says pointing to a rod that is about a foot and a half long.
"I could never fit all my clothes in there." Bonnie says smiling.
"That's the funny thing. When we first moved into the building this wardrobe was stuffed to over flowing. As the weeks and months went by I found it more and more annoying to have to wade through all that clothing just to get to the few things I wore on the outside. Ninety percent of it was just taking up space. So eventually I just donated it to Good Will."
"There are some Alasti men who hardly own any clothing at all," Bonnie says.
"It's true," Karl says, "they live and work in the Alasti building so I never see them down here."
"Of course I see plenty of them in the rest of the building," Bonnie says winking at the camera.
"What's even stranger is that once you get used to walking around naked clothing starts to feel uncomfortable and constrictive." Karl says.
"Speaking of which I think it's time we see some skin," Bonnie says smiling.
"Not that it still isn't embarrassing sometimes," Karl says unbuttoning his shirt.
"Oh you love it and you know it. You're just feeling shy because of the camera."
As he's taking off his shirt Karl looks at Bonnie and then at the camera not knowing what to say. It's obvious this wasn't part of the script.
"Well," Bonnie says as she reaches for his pants, "this little fella here always tells the truth. Let's see what he has to say."
Bonnie undoes Karl's belt and then his pants. She pulls both his pants and underwear down around his knees at the same time. When she does his hard cock springs out.
"A hard on is nothing to be ashamed of here in the Alasti Building. The women of the Alasti Building like nothing better then a naked man with a hard on." Bonnie says teasing Karl's cock with her fingertips.
"However," Karl says sitting down to take off his shoes and pants, "control is absolutely important."
Bonnie laughs and then says, "Ain't that the truth!"
"What I mean is that, um, an unexpected orgasm could get you in trouble." Karl said trying to be tactful.
"What Karl is trying to say is that you can't just spurt off on anyone or anything you like. If you were in a store you'd have to pay for any merchandise you ruined. If you were to come on someone without their permission they could report you to the board. Which in a worst case, repeat offender situation, can result in eviction but thankfully that's never happened."
"So in general it's highly frowned upon for an Alasti man to touch himself in public. However there are, receptacles, that can be used if you find yourself near the edge and unable to hold off any longer." Karl says obviously embarrassed.
Bonnie chuckles and says, "They look kind of like an ornate sink on a pedestal but they're only in the most public of places in the building, on high platforms."
"You'll find if you step up to one a spot light will come on and all the lights around you for about one hundred feet will dim." Karl says blushing slightly.
"There's no shame or penalty if you find you need to use one. It's a legal form of release and everybody enjoys the show. Which brings us to another point," Bonnie says coming up behind a now completely naked Karl, "the rules of the Alasti Building."
Karl is sitting at the end of the bench. Bonnie puts her arms on his shoulders, her hands on his naked chest and rests her breasts on his head. Somewhere along the line another button on Bonnie's blouse has come undone and more of her cleavage is showing.
"Straddle the bench honey so you can look into the camera." Bonnie says.
Karl turns and puts his left leg over the other side of the bench. It's wide enough that it forces his knees far apart putting him completely on display.
"That's better, now we can all see you." Bonnie says rubbing his chest.
"What were you saying about the rules?" Karl asks in a shaky voice.
Bonnie smiles down at him and then looks into the camera and says, "The rules at the Alasti Building may seem confusing at first but once you get the idea you'll find it's pretty simple."
"This is an adult complex so no one under the age of eighteen can even visit for obvious reasons."
"Yes," Bonnie says, "but that doesn't mean that the Alasti Building is some kind of swingers club. Don't come here expecting you're gonna get laid every twenty seconds."
"In fact," Karl says, "just the opposite is true most of the times. The women of the Alasti Building take a very dim view of cheaters."
"So ladies if you're thinking of moving in here with your man you have nothing to worry about."
"And guys even if you're single it's a bad idea to make a pass at any of the women of the Alasti Building. You'll find it's better to let them take the lead. Believe me if they're interested in you romantically they'll let you know." Karl says with a laugh.
"That's for sure Karl," Bonnie says smiling. "Guys you're expected to be gentlemanly and curtius at all times while ladies you're allowed to be more..."
"Assertive? Forth right, bold?" Karl suggests.
"Exactly Karl," Bonnie says patting him on the chest. "Here at the Alasti Building we've created an environment where women can thrive and come into their own."
"But that doesn't mean there aren't benefits to being an Alasti man."
"True," Bonnie admits, "Alasti men are some of the happiest, most satisfied guys I've ever met. Once they move in here they never even think of leaving."
Having said that Bonnie leans down so that her head is next to Karl's. Her hand snakes around his waist and into his lap. As she strokes his hard cock in plain view of the camera she says, "Right honey?"
"Oh yes Bonnie," Karl says closing his eyes.
Bonnie smiles into the camera and teasing his hard cock with just her finger tips says, "Why don't we go over to the shower area Karl?"
"Um, sure," Karl says opening his eyes.
Bonnie steps back so that Karl can get up. He puts his clothes away and then closes his wardrobe. His hard cock bouncing with his every move. When it clicks shut Bonnie wraps her hand around his cock and starts to lead him down the isle. They go the opposite way they came in. As they're walking and looking into the camera Bonnie says, "After spending your day in New York City you'll no doubt want to clean up a bit before going inside. The Alasti Building has once again taken your needs into consideration. Right in the middle of the undressing room is a large shower area."
The camera follows them as they step in front of the shower area. It's a large ornately tiled circular area with curved benches all around it. Every five feet or so a thin column comes down from the ceiling. Around the column there are four shower heads pointing in different directions. There are a good number of women seated around the showering area watching the guys and chatting with each other as they wait for their men to finish.
"Why don't you go and shower Karl while I continue the tour." Bonnie suggests.
"Ok," Karl says as he walks off into the shower.
The camera shows Bonnie in the foreground as Karl in the background steps up to one of the columns. He turns the two knobs to adjust the water and starts to shower.
"Anything you might need for a good shower is available from any of the towel girls that you can see wander through the shower area."
The camera shows Karl talking to a girl around nineteen years old who is standing by a small cart. She's wearing a one piece bathing suit that has a short skirt attached to it. She has on sandals and is relatively dry as she hands Karl a loofa. The camera can clearly see her look him up and down before she moves on.
Karl starts showering as Bonnie says, "The Alasti Building employes many people. Some of whom live here but mostly we hire from the outside. Why can we trust these people you might ask. The applicants are screened quite thoroughly and everyone signs a non disclosure agreement of course but more important than that we invest in our employes. The benefits and pay are generous but beyond that there are programs to help pay for collage. There are mentoring programs to help them succeed in the career of their choice. That young girl may be handing out towels and loofas now but I'd be willing to bet that by the time she's thirty five she's a high powered executive or maybe even a senator who can effect the laws that govern this great country of ours."
Bonnie pauses to smile and wink at the camera before she continues.
"For our older employees there is also a very impressive retirement package. Basically we win their loyalty by giving them a reason to be loyal. Look around, you won't find any disgruntled employees or dissatisfied tenants. All you'll find are happy people. Some of them just happen to be naked."
"And some of us prefer it that way," Karl says coming up behind Bonnie.
Bonnie turns to look at Karl and says, "I think all of us prefer it this way." Then she looks down at his cock and says, "You're still hard, I think you like being naked on camera. Or is it those cute little towel girls."
"Both," Karl says quietly.
"Figures, you boys just love to show these things off," Bonnie says grabbing the tip of Karl's cock and wiggling it around. "Why don't you turn around and show me the other end. You showered awful fast and I won't have you embarrassing me inside the building."
Karl looks into the camera and at Bonnie again. Then his body sags just a little and then he turns around, bends over and spreads his butt cheeks for Bonnie.
"A little wider please," Bonnie says looking between his cheeks.
Karl does as she asks showing her, and the camera, his asshole.
"Good boy, all nice and clean," Bonnie says to Karl and then turns to the camera. "This is an area that's always good to give a nice scrubbing to. Not only in the shower but also in the bathroom. You'll find they're equipped in every way to make sure you stay nice and clean. Hygiene is very important for an Alasti man. I think you can put that away now Karl."
Bonnie pats Karl's ass as he let's go of himself and stands up and turns around.
"Now that you're all nice and clean why don't we go out and show the rest of the building," Bonnie asks.
"Yes that would probably be a good idea," Karl says smiling.
Bonnie grabs his cock and leads him out of the shower area. The camera watches them walk away. As they walk into the distance Bonnie says, "I just love that body wash they give you guys to use. It makes your skin so soft. I can't keep my hands off of you."
The camera cuts to show an open doorway with a sign above it that says undressing room. Bonnie walks through it still leading a naked Karl by his hard cock. Once they're both through the doorway Bonnie stops them and says, "The undressing room leads up right into the first floor of the building. From there you can take the elevator up to your apartment or do some shopping in the mall."
"The first two floors floor of the Alasti Building is one of the finest malls in the city. You'll find just about everything you need here." Karl says as Bonnie starts them walking again.
The camera pulls back to show them entering a large mall. The floors and walls are covered in dark granite stone. The store fronts are all glass with polished brass hinges and handles on the doors. There are fountains and potted plants giving the area a very classy feel. As they pass stores you can see clothed women and naked men walking through shopping as if it was a normal mall. It's much more obvious up here though that the women out number the men by at least five to one.
"You can do your food shopping in our gourmet grocery store or dine in any of our fine restaurants. There are women's clothing stores and salons."
"Which also have some interesting grooming options for us guys too." Karl adds with a smile.
"Indeed," Bonnie says smiling at Karl. "There are also gift and electronics stores."
"There's the building's health club. Which is free for all tenants to use." Then Karl smiles and says, "There are even some pretty hot night clubs if you want to go out but don't want to leave the building."
"Then," Bonnie says, "up on the third and fourth floor is the business center."
"Up there you'll find several kinds of doctors, a few dentists, accountants, a travel agent and all sorts of businesses that will provide care and services that you'll find no equal to anywhere else in the city."
"And," Bonnie adds, "it's all right here in the building."
"Yes it certainly is,"Karl says. "We hope you've enjoyed this brief glimpse into the Alasti Building."
"And that we've convinced you to come and see it for yourself."
The camera slowly fades to black. as it does Bonnie can be heard to say, "Now Karl we can wander around the mall for the next two hours with me teasing you until you beg to use a relief station or you can use one now and then we can go to lunch. Which will it be?"
