Hyperion was surprised that the so called 'feral' lodgings were so… accommodating.

The stable-like set up hid how accessible the hotel had made things. The showers had longer lever like knobs, allowing for those without thumbs to use them with ease. The doors had similar designs, allowing for ease of access with swinging doors that had stoppers to hold them closed as needed … The beds had stairs for those unable to jump onto them, and even televisions and tables with adjustable settings to help guests of differing sizes …

He could get used to this!

The dragon type Eeveelution would push his way out of the room, inhaling and taking in the cool air of the night. He had had a nap in his room, so now he was completely and utterly too energized to sleep again. So now was the perfect time to burn off energy and wander the grounds.

 

With a flap of his wings, he took off through the front doors, looking for fun to be had.

The grounds were lit up dimly, with most folks here either lounging on the heated terrace, or taking walks along the marked paths. Hyper meanwhile flew overhead, doing little flips midair to amuse himself and burn that energy. 

He hadn't really explored this place outside of the hotel interior. And he HAD heard that they had been setting up for an end of summer party at their newly built splashpad… he had yet to see it! So he would take a look.

Hyper flew on towards the back of the lot, where the splashpad, pool and spa were located. He flew right past the 'out of order' sign hung up on the gate, landing in the mostly dry, but still lit up section.

There were plenty of seats here, with tables and foldable chairs and tables lining the walls. The rubbery flooring sagged ever so slightly under-paw, as he looked around. There were showerheads poking out of the ground, with many colorful pipes sticking out of the ground to simulate a field of plants… he couldn't help but grin, wandering amongst the colorful but artfully sculpted pipework… 

"Hmm…" in the center was the typical fountain field that most splash pads had, usually rigged up to periodically perform a water show for those around them. Such fun! Hyper kind of wished he could see it. But he might leave before it all happened…

He would wander over, just settling and looking up at the sky. The area was darker than the others, and thus he could see the night sky from here… it was a nice little change of pace, able to see the stars…

However, he was settled right over a sensor for the splash pad, which would trigger…

A sudden jet of inky black substance would spurt out of one of the fountain heads, raining down on the pokemon and making him jump. The stuff was so…unbelievably sticky. It felt like he was wading through gum, his paw pads sticking to the rubber flooring…  "Crap…! What IS this?!" He snapped, flapping his wings frantically. The sensors meanwhile continued the little fountain show that was pre programmed with the set up. Small geysers of latex came up from the pipes, showering him with droplets of the black gunk… some of the globules slid down his body, while some would stick to his fur and wings…

He tried to pull away, as his paws were basically cemented to the ground… "wh-hey! Let go!" He flapped more, wings weighed down by the weight of the latex. "Dammit! C'mon!" He struggled, leaning forward to try and pull a back leg free… only to get shot in the face with a spurt of the liquid latex.

"NGH! MMPH!" His muzzle was covered in the stuff, feeling it slip down his forehead and over his nose and mouth. He couldn't even raise a paw to remove it or wipe it away…

Hyper was stuck, and good. All he could do was hope someone would come out and find him…

Lucky for him, he wasn't going to be left out in the cold.

"Fuck's sake. Griz owes me for this."

Buzzsaw the Espeon was grumbling as he walked by, toolbox and flashlight levitating at his sides. Griz's sensors had gone off around the splash pad, and now there was the 'clogged spout' alert going off… of course, Griz's stupid little latex trap had gone off too early, Buzz had TOLD HER it had been a terrible idea to set it up so damn soon! But nooo, she INSISTED on a 'soft open' type of test. Stupid lizard bitch.

The espeon would make his way down to the splash pad, still clearly unhappy about being called in for this. "Probably some stupid raccoon or possum wandering in from off the grounds." He sighed, walking past the gates and shining his light out into the middle of the splash pad.

"Oh? The hell?"

He would levitate himself a few inches above the muck, watching as a blue furred pokemon he didn't recognize struggled and flapped his wings in desperation. Rolling his eyes, Buzz split the goo holding the captive's muzzle shut, asking, "So. Who the hell are you, and what are you doing on the splash pad, buddy?"

"Pwah! I…Im Hyperion…! Sorry I…I was just taking a walk and…" he panted, trying to explain himself as he gulped air. "I got trapped by this… this gunk! Please! You gotta help me outta here!"

"I ain't gotta do nothing, buddy." With a quickness that came with practice and experience, Buzz would lift the goo up and around Hyper, carrying both him and the latex holding him away.

"Wh-what are you doing! Please! Let me go!" Hyper cried, struggling against the psychic force that held him still.

"Nah. I'm getting your ass back to your room so I can get back to repairing that splash pad." Buzz said, walking with purpose as he got back to the feral specific rooms…

"Please! C'mon it was an honest mistake! I didn't mean to-MGH?!"

"That's enough outta you." Buzz growled, using a glob of latex to muzzle Hyper again. "I got called away from a dinner on my day off for this, so forgive me if I'm not feeling very charitable."

The espeon plopped the still stuck eeveelution to the floor of his room, and blasting the latex with some of his psychic energy… it went from his paws up his legs, slowly creeping up his fur.

"NNN! HHGH! PLPH!" Hyper screamed into his gag, eyes wide as he tried to pull away.

"Yeah, so you can just sit there and think about the importance of obeying signs while I go and get this work done and get that sweet Overtime pay." Buzz snapped, shutting and locking the door with the stopper. The Do Not Disturb would be left on the handle, leaving Hyper to be slowly engulfed by the latex. 

It would slowly work its way up his legs and over the course of a few hours, up to his torso, and then to his head and neck…

And there was nothing Hyper could do about it.

He was trapped, and good.
