Revealing Zachary Hanson

"What an excellent performance," Paisley said. "Before I get to details, lets start with everyone's initial BP amounts."

BP Amounts:

Noah = 8500 BP

Hailey = 8500 BP

Cammy = 3000 BP

Jamina = 4500 BP

Nox = 500 BP

Janessa Smith = 7500 BP

Castelilise = 3000 BP

"Now lets look at what everyone gets," Paisley continued. "I will say across the board, everyone performed extremely well."

New BP Amounts:

Noah = 8500 BP+2000 BP= 10500 BP

Hailey = 8500 BP

Cammy = 3000 BP+1500 BP = 4500 BP

Jamina = 4500 BP+1500 BP = 6000 BP

Nox = 500 BP+1500 BP = 2000 BP

Janessa Smith = 7500 BP+2000 BP = 9500 BP

Castelilise = 3000 BP+1500 BP = 4500 BP

"Nox managed great strides in connecting with Felix, but primarily just moved him to the present," Paisley explained. "You weren't able to appeal to him erotically, or gain a significant emotional attachment. You are more than a contestant in the background, but a deeper connection was... elusive."

Moving onto the next set of contestants, Paisley continued, "Jamina told an excellent dirty story. However, while it was exciting for the master, it didn't tell him much of anything about Jamina Lightbringer that was unknown to him. Hence, while the story was well told, I can only give partial credit."

Paisley then went over to Noah and Janessa to finish things off. "You had the best story, both because Felix didn't know it, and because it gave you a connection to him that was lacking. That is the kind of initiative I wanted to see, and so for all your many, many problems, it appears that with Noah's help, you managed to build a connection. We won't find out until tomorrow how much it means, but that you did it at all is a lot."

It was then that Paisley snapped her fingers, and let Felix go, along with everyone else. As a group they had made great strides that day. She hadn't discussed what the more experienced contestants had provided behind closed doors, but each of the runner up contestants had gotten good advice. Nox especially had a plan that could cause her to graduate that very night, a happy outcome for Paisley. For someone who knew her time as the acting host was coming to an soon, this bonus activity felt like the first time things had truly gotten back on track...

Hailey ran to meet Felix upon hearing of his return. But before she could get to the meeting room, she was intercepted by the demon.

"Ah dear, I'm afraid Felix will be busy, although you may get to join him later," The demon said while blocking her path. "While we wait for him to be available, let’s have a quick chat. You talked to the producer of my season, right?"

"Yes?" Hailey replied with another question. "Why does that matter? Why, for that matter, when I'm trying to do something that the Hotel would support me doing with the master, do all these barriers keep showing up in the way of that?"

“An excellent set of questions,” The demon said. "In regards to Felix, Paisley feels that there are parts of his harem he has been neglecting. Even if it's often for reasons that aren't his fault, she wants him to reconnect to Nox, Jamina, and Janessa. You on the other hand are, from her point of view, inches away from 100 VP and need no such assistance."

"Be that as it may, I'm not trying to get VP from him," Hailey said. "I'm just trying to drink his cum, preferably fresh from the source. That's something the audience, the one you and Paisley care so much about, are very interested in."

"You're not wrong," The demon continued. "However, that's not quite enough. As for the matter of the producer, it matters because you two built an understanding with each other. That hasn't happened for the Voice in a long time."

Over the next couple of hours, they talked about it. What The Voice explained to her, how Hailey was still furious with them both over her excursion, the works. Then the demon brought up something surprising.

"You have a gun for almost every type of being you could fight," The demon said. "But there are two exceptions. You don't have a weapon for the demonic, or one for the divine. One of those will be handled by a teammate in the future, but the other... if you truly want the ability to kill someone like me, you will have to earn it. Are you ready?"

Hailey walked up to the demon, and as much as could, looked her in the eyes. "Even if I have to kill another eldritch abomination, I'll do it if it means someone like you can never threaten me, or my world again..."

By the time the bonus activity had wrapped up, it was around four. It was an awkward amount of time before Felix's next date began, and initially, he tried to the rest of the group that went off to watch Harem Hotel TV. Before Felix left however, he came face to face to Hailey, who was wearing nothing except an oversized T-shirt. Who upon seeing him, dragged him into a long, deep French kiss.

"I missed you," Hailey let Felix go. "And I also really want to drink your cum straight from the tap. However, that prize requires you to eat me out, and I don't want to 69 again."

Felix knew they didn't have much time, but two hours was just enough for what Hailey wanted to do. They both ran to the master suite, and Hailey removed her shirt in a single motion once they entered. He had been naked for awhile, having deftly removed his shorts before they tore themselves hours ago. Hailey laid on the bed, and spread her legs so that Felix would have all the access he needed to her pussy. She was already soaking wet at what was going to happen.

One moment, Felix was grinning, and pretending to slowly approach Hailey. The next he dove onto the master suite bed, and delivered the kind of cunnilingus that makes women scream, moan, and most of all, cum. He was enthusiastic about it too, licking her pussy thoroughly, in part because he wanted to make her feel good enough that all the bullshit Harem Hotel had put her through would just get cummed away. It was why he didn't care how at times he couldn't breath from how Hailey put her legs around his head, or how it could hurt the way Hailey grabbed his head. What most mattered was that she sought him out for comfort, and that she felt better.

"That was good," Hailey was still coming down from her orgasm, "that was good. Alright, go lie down so I can suck you off. I really do need your cum Felix."

Such a statement would've been absurd mere weeks ago, and yet Felix's only objection was, "Doesn't Ladies First mess with that?"

"It does," Hailey said. "However, if I give you a blowjob soon, I can cache the orgasm you gave me to get around it."

Wider Orgasm Window = -1000 BP

What happened next was Felix got a ferocious blowjob. Hailey never deepthroated him, but the way she sucked his dick reminded him of the shock he got from his first blowjobs. Seeing how enthusiastic someone could be to give him pleasure, combined with the thrill of seeing Hailey light up whenever she light up precum from him. Such enthusiasm drove him over the edge.

"Cumming!" Felix yelled as gave Hailey ropes and ropes of cum. It wasn't normally something he thought about, but he could tell she loved every second of it as she greedily drank all of it. Cum was something a partner swallowed out to be nice to their partner, not something they actually liked the taste of... right?

Blowjob = 10 VP

Hailey licked the cum off her fingers in front of Felix. "That was great. It's not so much that your cum tastes amazing, although it's not nearly as bad as it could be, but rather that it... makes me feel better. While I was out of the bunker, I got a magical therapy session that made your cum give me a sense of peace."

"Oh..." Felix trailed off. "Well, that's something. Wait, have you hit 100 VP?"

That caused both of them to go to the screen in the master suite, and Hailey then pulled up the VP scores.

Graduated:

Cammy = 106 VP

Noah = 100 VP

Castelilise = 100 VP

Hailey = 100 VP

Contestants:

Jamina Lightbringer = 50 VP

Nox = 80 VP

Janessa Smith = 30 VP

"Well, that's sure something," Hailey said. "I managed to graduate by just giving you a blowjob. This fucking rocks."

While she said that, Hailey was just... chill. Like she was stoned and about to give Felix a speech about the peacefulness of the universe or something.

"Alright man, I'm going to go catch up on TV," Hailey left the master suite while said that. "I'm sure the demon will find me for all the graduation stuff at some point. Go have fun on your date!"

That date still wouldn't be for another hour, so Felix used the time he had left to finish some fanmail for another season...

Nox knocked at the master suite door to grab Felix. He answered soon afterwards, and he looked uncomfortable in her presence. It was as if his nudity was embarrassing all over again because the only time he had been naked with the goblin, it had been when the oni was still around, directly controlling her. He had never met her as an untethered individual while she was a goblin.

Before Felix could say anything, Nox took his hand and said, "Lets grab something to eat."

The walk to the mess hall was silent. Nox didn't want to say anything because she wasn't sure where to start. The goblin had already given Felix a basic understanding of her situation and everything that had happened in the bunker. Anything before the bunker required her to know things that she didn't. The memories she had of her life as Hanson were worthless, because they didn't reflect why she had ended up in the bunker, and later on, turned into a goblin. They were of a reality where Noah was a slime girl, and where Felix was surrounded by people who could protect him. None of that matched the reality Nox knew must have existed before she showed up to the bunker.

Once they got to the mess hall, the silence continued for a bit, until Nox finally summoned the courage to lay out the situation at hand while she slowly ate a burger.

“I can't remember what really happened before we got here," Nox said. "My memories have been replaced by a series of retroactive reality alterations. You know that, right?"

"Of course Nox," Felix paused eating his protein optimized meal. "I was the same way until I went to the mirror room and... experienced things I'd rather not talk about."

That caused Nox to get up from her chair and run over to confront Felix. "Wait, so you know what really happened back then?"

"I know what happened from my perspective," Felix said as he knelt to look Nox in the eyes. "I don't know much of what happened to you, only what I saw of you. Which is a lot less than you may think."

Nox nodded hearing that, and then went back to finish her meal. The rest of dinner was a conversation just refreshing Felix on how her life had been. While Nox couldn't prove it, she suspected she had completed the combat training portion of her graduation requirements, leaving just two. One was leadership, which she explained to Felix meant that, at some point, she was going to have to leave the bunker and meet up again with the oni in order to learn enough leadership to graduate. What she didn't tell Felix about, because the goblin was unsure how to bring this up, was that she needed him to impregnate her. Given that Felix was an eighteen year old boy, Nox suspected that was a lot more responsibility than he wanted to take on at the time. It was something she would've been more anxious about if it wasn't for the promise of freedom that came with it.

"Alright, I think we both finished eating," Felix said as finished off his protein shake. "What do you want to do now?"

It was tempting for Nox to answer that by putting the question back to him, and to just submit to whatever Felix subjected her to. But the goblin knew from Cammy that wasn't the right play. "We need to go to the mirror room. I need to know what I actually did to you, and while you may know your perspective..."

"... I don't know yours," Felix said. "I only know that you used to be a typical bully. But I don't know why, or what else you did to other people."

After Nox finished off her soda, she left with Felix to go to the mirror room. The walk there was also in silence, but this time the silence represented determination, at least for the goblin. They were going to figure out everything that happened to her, and everything that had happened to Felix from her actions. What would be revealed? Would she be able to forgive herself for what was revealed?

Upon entering the mirror room, the goblin took a deep breath and walked up to the largest mirror in the room. Felix meanwhile took a seat and tried to gather himself for the upcoming show. When Nox pressed on the mirror, everything entered into focus...

Hanson's memories started with the incident. The thing both Felix and Nox remembered talking about, but had entirely forgotten in the leadup to Harem Hotel. And for all it had been built up, at the end of the day, it was just a stupid game. The football team had a hazing ritual, and in this case, Zachary Hanson had been chosen to dole out punishments depending on where a spinning dial, called The Dial of Pain, landed. When Hanson had been on the receiving end of it, he just got a wedgie out of it, and then some laughs. By contrast, when Hanson's best friend, whose name was censored for some reason, submitted to the same hazing ritual, the dial had landed on an outright beating.

That was what Felix had seen when he had rushed back to grab something he had forgotten at the gym. That was what Noah had seen when, as a human male, he had gone to check something for a teacher. And that was what Zachary Hanson did to someone he considered a friend because of where a spinning dial had landed. He punched that friend multiple times, and despite not having the best training, hurt him badly. To the point of that friend being covered in bruises, a black eye, and needed extensive medical treatment. It should've resulted in the police getting involved.

What instead happened was a gigantic cover up. Unlike what Felix had thought, this wasn't simply a matter of Hanson's parents having weight to throw around. This was a matter of a ritual the football team had done for years, across generations, and that could embroil a lot more people than some immature teenagers. In theory, Zachary could've taken the fall instead, but Felix was too easy of a target. James Smith didn't like Felix anyway, and knew his parents were in no position to fight the school's position on the matter. No one would trust him as a witness, not with his violent past. Hence, no one involved with the actual incident would have to suffer, and instead, the hazing ritual could be carefully removed in the background.

There were other memories that came up. Some just confirmed things Z had said to others, or things Nox's ancestor had said to Zachary Hanson before the transformations started. Yes, Zachary Hanson had lost his virginity through exploiting a drunk girl. Yes, Zachary Hanson was a bully to far more people than just Felix, or Noah. And yes, Zachary Hanson was, at the end of the day, a cowardly piece of shit who bowed to peer pressure to safeguard his masculinity. He was a walking representation of every boy who loudly proclaims they're a man but who will never be one because of their own insecurity.

Despite that laundry list of crimes, when the montage came to an end, Felix couldn't bring himself to hate Hanson the way he hated Smith. It must have played out on his face, because of what Nox said after the memories from the mirror ended.

You didn’t hate me as much as I thought you would,” Nox said. “Why? No offense but you weren’t a particularly mature guy back then. You certainly weren't the type to forgive and forget."

Felix sighed before replying. “I think I looked down on you as nothing but a brute. And at the end of the day, even an immature teenage boy knows someone who abuses their authority is worse than a schoolyard bully. Even though you did the crime, you were just an... accomplice to Smith in my eyes. A fleshy extension of how Smith abused his authority to punish the innocent and protect the guilty.”

"With that said, I do think it is time we did something with you Nox Hanson," Felix switched briefly to his onomancy powers, to demonstrate to the goblin he was going to take control. "Before we begin, regardless of how guilty you feel, you must tell me when something makes you suffer in a bad way, or when you aren't enjoying something. Got it?"

Nox nodded fiercely, her body out of her control from the voice. Felix felt a little guilty about it, but decided that safety, even if it ironically required something that could be used for mind control, was too important tonight.

"Very good," Felix said. "I haven't done this whole dom thing before, and I don't think either us are in a position to come up with a good safe word. Hence, even if your goblin body could enjoy it, BDSM mostly ain't on the menu tonight. What will be is some stuff that Zachary Hanson would've hated to be on the receiving end of. So lets go to the master suite, and see if we can't get you to 100 VP..."
