First Voting Round

Ruby

“And now for the part that truly makes Harem Hotel unique, the Transformation Round!” Ruby announced to raucous applause. “If you’ve watched any of our lovely sister franchises, you surely think you know what’s coming next!”

“Or do you?” Al took up his part.

“No, Al, I don’t think they do. Al and I put our heads together and each proposed a transformation option we think you’ll love!”

“But, Ruby? That’s only two per girl!”

“Right you are, Al!” Ruby was rolling now. The tension with Al took a back seat for a few moments. Finally the fun part! “We don’t always play by the rules around here. For each girl, you, the voters can choose to pull a Wild Card!” The show cuts to a split screen of Al and Ruby. Al quickly slipped an ace out of his sleeve and Ruby from her low neckline and simultaneously flipped them at the cameras in a choreographed routine. “The Wild Card option will give that girl a random transformation from our deck! Could be good for her! Could be bad for her! We won’t know which unless you give it a try!”

“Hold on, there’s a random element to this game?” Vivian interrupted.

“Does this look like a bank to you, sweetheart?” Al spread his arms. “We all take our chances here.” For the first time since they’d met, Ruby saw a look of concern cross Vivian’s face. A variable she hadn’t considered.

“So let’s see what each lucky girl can get!” Ruby stood with her arms framing the screen, and the transformation options begin to scroll onto the screen.

Danica

Ebony and Ivory - Danica’s body shape from the neck down will change to match Rhonda’s. Each morning, she will also receive a lessened form of one of Rhonda’s transformations that lasts the day. [Ruby]
Mother’s Little Helper - Danica receives three bottomless bottles of pills, and must take at least one a day or suffer withdrawal. One makes her extremely aroused, one makes her ass and breasts swell, one relaxes her and makes her more accepting of her circumstances. Each effect lasts the day, but does not fully recede. Whatever cumulative effects she carries at the end of the game are permanent. [Al]

Mallory

In Vino Falsitas - Inverts the effects of **** on Mallory. When she has none in her system, she is loose and uninhibited. Each drink makes her more clear-headed, but at the cost of becoming more submissive and deferential. [Al]
It Takes a Village - Any time Mallory “misbehaves,” everyone present will feel compelled to discipline her for it. [Ruby]

Vivian

Second Place is First Loser - She will feel intensely competitive with the other women about everything, including Michael’s affection. Starting with the next round, transformations for any challenge she doesn’t win outright will also be enhanced. [Al]
Crocodile Tears - Other contestants and Michael become very suggestible and easy to sway when Vivian cries in their presence. If this option wins, only Vivian and the hosts will remain aware that she has this change. [Ruby]

Sarah

Agile Developer - The unathletic Sarah becomes extremely flexible, and develops a preference and a need for exotic positions to remain comfortable [Ruby]
ID-10T Error - Sarah intelligence reverts to below average, unless she is aroused. Her intelligence will scale upwards with her arousal and reset upon climax. [Al]

Ronnie

Hell on Heels - Ronnie will be unable to walk unless she is in heels, and the heel must be as tall in inches as her place on the leaderboard plus two (3rd = 5”) [Al]
Pavlov’s Bitch - Ronnie will climax immediately whenever she hears a bell. [Ruby]

Luciana

Sun’s out, Guns out - Luciana will fluctuate between her typical peak strength at high noon, but become more feminine and soft every evening. Her nails and hair will lengthen, her lips will swell, and her body will gain curves. [Ruby]
The Big Show - Luciana develops an exhibitionism fetish, and will not be able to climax unless being observed. Over time, she will have diminishing returns and require more observers or new people to watch. [Al]

Janet

BF/F - Janet can no longer form platonic female friendships. She will feel an equivalent amount of lust for any woman as she feels kinship. [Ruby]
Straight Edge: Janet will find herself obsessed with discipline and fairness. She will find that she will grow more dominant to the other women when she feels they need to be punished. If she punishes them, she will find herself on the edge of climax. [Al]

“These are psychotic!” Danica complained, “You’re going to get me hooked on pills?!”

“Not me, baby. The audience makes that call. I only offered them the choice.”

“At least they won’t make you a lesbian.” Janet said softly.

“At least they won’t make you a moron!” Sarah finally joins the party. Took her long enough. “How am I supposed to code with a hand down my pants all day?”

“Baby, half the people watching got a hand down their pants. Half the people making the show got a hand down their pants. You’ll deal.”

“Can we please get some more clarification about the Wild Cards?” Vivian cut across all of them.

“Sure thing. Let’s show you four examples.” Al opened his palm to the screen, which scrolled on four additional lines:

Wild Card Examples

Madonna-Whore Complex - She will mentally vacillate between a buttoned up, chaste, and pure woman, and a vampish sexpot. The higher she is in the VP standings, the more control she’ll have over when and how long each transformation takes place.
Gold Digger - She becomes intensely attracted and submissive to whomever is the current Chip leader and repelled by whomever is in last.
Slut Machine - She will receive a tramp stamp. It will glow and become animated, like a slot machine’s animation, as she grows more and more aroused. Climaxing will cause her to dispense casino chips (or coins, after the game’s conclusion).
Tell-Tail - She gains a fox tail, which changes color through the rainbow based upon her mood.

“A tail?!?!” Ronnie jumped from her seat. “Hold up! They didn’t do any of that freaky stuff in my season.”

“Times change, my dear.” Ruby said calmly. “Wouldn’t do to have you guessing all our tricks, would it?”

“I think we’ve heard enough whining, let’s open the phones!” Al said. “Call in, audience, let your voices be heard!”

“It’s an internet vote, Al. No phones.” Ruby corrected him.

“Whatever! Call, text, email, smoke signal, whatever kids do these days! Just vote!”

The seven women waited with bated breath as the numbers on the screen started to climb. Several held hands for solidarity, though Vivian and Sarah refused to join in. And just at that perfect moment, looking fresh and clean-shaven, Michael arrived and climbed onto the stage.

“What did I miss?”
