From the Data Analysis Department: Transformation Round 1 Votes

The Show-runner

Time for the last batch of audience votes for a while. This time, the doozy that is the end-of-round transformation votes.

A note about vetoes (and a reminder) before you go vote. For this branch, veto power rests with the season's Master, not the season's host. Therefore, vetoes will occur do to how debilitating the Master thinks they would be, not on things that a Host would cite, like "transformation balance", "variety", or "spite". I am guaranteeing at least 1 of his 2 vetoes will be used this round. I'll type that again and add some emphasis: I am guaranteeing at least 1 of his 2 vetoes will be used this round. I wrote one of the character's options such that the Master would use a veto regardless of how that particular vote turns out for story reasons (and I hope that the character in question is obvious). I did stick a hint in the next story chapter if you need it.

As mentioned waaaaay back in the initial rules dump (my Chapter 11), vetoes will generally follow this:

"When The Master uses a veto, The Master must vocalize objections and propose appropriate changes; we then hammer out details and the new transformation is given."

So, when a veto is used, it's generally supposed to be an edit to the winning transformation, not a swippy-swappy action (you know, when the veto just swaps out the winning transformation for one of the other ones). That means that the vote for that character will still have an audience influenced effect, but just not the exact one being presented today. For non-planned vetoes, I do reserve the right to do the swippy-swappy action instead (but will generally avoid it).

The final reminder is that our dear host Beckie earned herself a transformation amongst the second place transformations from the polls below. Not sure if voting for something debilitating to hope it gets second place for old Beckie is the best idea, but keep that possibility in mind.

I'm going to present the transformations here in the order they sit in my big file, not necessarily in the order presented on-site. So, without further ado, here's the reminder lists and links for the polls. A few lists have some additional reminders. All polls close at 7 Mar at 7 PM (my time). Enjoy:

Tina

She Goes Where No Ordinary Rabbit Would Dare – Tina really likes to turn people’s body parts green. Well, two can play that game. Tina’s hair and fur become naturally lime green and utterly impervious to hair dye. To further the reference to a certain cartoon rabbit from the 90’s, Tina will also get a tactical view and an irrational hatred of toads (Bunny Girl).

Pervy Legerdemain – Tina loves magic, let’s give her more. Tina now innately knows the sorceress cantrip Mage Hand as described in the Sacred Texts of Gygax, with the following modifications: The magic hand lasts for the entire hour after casting. When the hand is not being commanded with Tina’s action for the turn, it will grope and tease her. The mage hand will not bring Tina to orgasm, but will expertly edge her (Sorceress).

Magic Model – Tina complained about needing a better agent; be careful what you wish for. Tina now has a contract with Harem Hotel’s talent agency (Hotel Concierge, Inc). Her agent will present her with contracts nightly. While on the show, these contracts will pay Tina BP, in proportion to her efforts and the difficulty of the contract thereof. Tina must successfully take and complete at least 1 contract a round or suffer severe BP penalties. Tina will be unable to get out of her contract until she secures better representation after the end of the show, unless she is eliminated (There’s No Business Like Show Business).

Scarlet

(Brain) Pop Quiz – Despite our helpful payment plan, Scarlet doesn’t seem too interested in paying off her loan. Let’s give her a little more encouragement, shall we? Scarlet permanently loses a point of IQ for every day she does not bring a new person to orgasm until either she pays off the loan or she reaches an IQ of 70 (whichever happens first). Harem members can be used more than once, but will not count for this transformation until all harem members have been given a turn (Bimbo).

Smokeshow, Literally – Scarlet certainly enjoyed ruining my precious merchandise. Well, actions have consequences. Scarlet becomes an enenra (a Japanese bonfire smoke yokai). Scarlet gains a (slow, hovering) flying speed and the ability to become incorporeal. Scarlet must spend some effort of will to maintain a corporeal humanoid form, especially as she adapts to her new state of being (Smokeshow).

Working Girl – Scarlet has been neglecting her part-time job. Perhaps returning to the working world would do her some good. On evenings that she does not have a date with the Master for the rest of the game, Scarlet must perform at least one striptease in the hotel tavern. Scarlet will be able to earn BP from other contestants and hotel staff based on her performance (Working Girl).

Skye

Champion of Lolth – Skye is transformed into a Drow elf. She gains the light-sensitive darkvision, knowledge, and skills of a Drow. Her devotion changes to that of Lolth. Skye’s fingernails are replaced with nigh invulnerable acrylics coated in drow poison. If damaged, the nails will rapidly repair itself. The acrylic nails are semi-sentient and share a hive-mind. They are able to adjust their length and color to match outfits, though Skye will have some ability to override them with **** of will. The poison embedded in these nails can be used to knock a person **** up to 8 hours by piercing the target’s skin. She can do this a number of times per day equal to her casting modifier (Paladin Class – Level 0).

Priestess of Kiaransalee – Skye is transformed into a Drow elf. She gains the light-sensitive darkvision, knowledge, and skills of a Drow. Her devotion changes to that of Kiaransalee. In addition to the usual Drow magics, Skye can innately cast the spell Darkfire, as described in the Sacred Texts of Gygax. If a target dies to her Darkfire, they revive as a very horny zombie. Said zombie will remain animated for 1 hour or whenever it achieves orgasm. She can cast Darkfire for free a number of times per day equal to her casting modifier (Necromancer Class – Level 0).

Agent of Zinzerena – Skye is transformed into a Drow elf. She gains the light-sensitive darkvision, knowledge, and skills of a Drow. Her devotion changes to that of Zinzerena. Skye is granted a magical short-sword with the following additional characteristics: the short-sword has a throwing range of 60 ft. The sword has 3 charges. A charge can be spent while throwing the blade to guarantee a critical hit on a target or a charge can be spent while not in Skye’s hand to have it return. Charges can only be regained when Skye uses the sword hilt to masturbate to orgasm (Assassin Class – Level 0).

Indigo

For this particular vote, you may want to finish reading the rest of the chapters posted today. I give a little something to help you decide whether Time for a Collab is a good choice. I do intend to make Spearmint Raene much less annoying than Indi.

A Fox in the Hen-house – Indigo has a fetish for kitsune? She deserves a little indulgence, don’t you think? Indigo becomes a kitsune. She gains the fun fox ears, pointy teeth, and floofy fox tail one would expect. She also gains bonus spell points from consuming the sexual fluids of others. Later transformations may grant her additional kitsune powers and tails (Fox Girl).

Assuming Direct Control – Indigo got to experience giving up control of her toy usage during her date. Let’s make that situation more permanent, shall we? Indigo is no longer able to bring herself to orgasm on her own, as her app account is locked into “Edging Mode”. Edging Mode” can be temporarily turned off using the Playtime app, for up to 5 minutes or a specified number of orgasms, whichever occurs first. Indigo will still feel compelled to use toys on herself; this compulsion increases based on her VP total compared to the average VP of the contestants, at a rate of a 1% increased urge to masturbate for every 1 VP she lacks compared to the average of the harem (Toy Addict).

Time for a Collab – Indigo has been feeling a bit lonely and has difficulty interacting with others in meat space. Perhaps a friend will help? Spearmint Raene, Indigo’s only co-worker from the Monstergirl Menagerie that could stand to be around her, will be brought into the harem as Indigo’s buddy, according to the rules laid out in the “Bring in Secondary Characters” section of this season’s official rulebook. Don’t worry folks, she fits the theme of the season and is considerably less annoying (VStreemer).

Dinah

A Solution to the Fertility Crisis – Dinah will begin to produce milk and lactate at a constant rate as if she is nursing a newborn. This breast milk will have a special characteristic when consumed by adult females, namely, that is will infect the consumer with HIS, which is now a communicable disease. Others infected with HIS will also produce breast milk and be able to infect others. The Master, if female, can choose to be immune to this effect. Her breasts will increase by 1 cup size (Patient Zero).

A Solution to the Cow Girl Monotony Crisis – Dinah will begin to produce milk and lactate at a constant rate as if she is nursing a newborn. This breast milk will have a special characteristic when consumed by adult females, namely, that it serves as a mood enhancing **** similar to catnip. The Master, if female, can choose to be immune to this effect. Dinah also becomes a cat girl, with the ears and tail one would expect. She also grows additional pairs of breasts along her abdomen so that there is at least one breast available for each other member of the harem to suckle simultaneously (Cat Girl).

A Solution to the Team Cohesion Crisis – Dinah will begin to produce milk and lactate at a constant rate as if she is nursing a newborn. This breast milk will have a special characteristic when consumed by adult females, namely, that is serves as both an aphrodisiac and puts the consumer in a suggestive state. The Master, if female, can choose to be immune to this effect. Dinah will feel a compulsion to nurse others in the harem when she feels they are not contributing enough to the team environment she is trying to create. All suggestions put into the mind of a consumer of her milk will include inducing an addiction to it (Team Mom).

Josie

Mean Girl – Josie can be a bit of a bitch. Let’s reward her for it, shall we? Whenever Josie insults another contestant, she becomes more aroused. The insulted contestant also becomes more aroused and more submissive to Josie. The more demeaning the insult, the greater the effect. Josie finds showing affection in less insulting ways more difficult (Tsundere).

An American Wolf-Girl in Harem Hotel – Then again, Josie does like the keep her pack together. Perhaps we should lean that way instead? Josie will become a wolf girl, with the pointy teeth, claws, and fluffy tail one would expect. Her strength will increase proportional to the number of participants she convinced to have group sex with her the previous night (Pack Enforcer).

Never Skip Leg Day – Josie never skips leg day, nor should you. To help encourage you to remember to exercise your legs, Josie can no longer wear more clothing than what the average thong covers from her hips to her ankles. That’s good motivation, right? Thought so (Gym Bunny).

Francis

Couple of brief notes here. One, Francis cannot veto his own transformation. Two, he will not get to see the text for the third transformation (Part of Your World) unless it actually wins. The gang will get to see the text displayed when the transformation is applied.

Happy Place – The Master innately knows the wizard spell Rope Trick as described in the Sacred Texts of Gygax. While on the show, The Master can cast the spell without any limits. Once the show is over, the Master will need to meet all requirements to casting wizardry spells if he wishes to continue to hide from people in extra-dimensional space (Introversion).

Perfect Nutrition – The Master knows that good health is 80% what you eat and 20% what you do. He is also aware that changing his body will result in changing his diet. The Master will innately know exactly how to adjust his diet to build/maintain good health goals for himself and others. When others follow his directions, they will feel both arousal and an increased attraction to him. This increased attraction is not enough to overcome being incompatible to another person’s sexual orientation (Fit Freak).

Part of Your World – With a magical bunny girl in his possession already and more magical transformations on the way, the Master could really use an advisor on arcane matters. Well, we know just the DoD obsessed mermaid for the job. Daphne joins the harem according to the rules laid out in the “Bring in Staff Members” section of this season’s official rulebook. Yes, it is a bit silly to state that someone from a unisexual species has same-sex attraction, but it does work for the theme of the show. Shut up (Dungeon Master).

Daphne

Some additional clarification is needed here. This particular vote will be null and void if Part of Your World from the Francis poll doesn't win. The gang will remain unaware that this vote even existed. If Part of Your World does win, then the winning choice will be displayed and applied at the appropriate time. If applicable, these transformations are eligible for a veto (and second place is eligible to be given to Beckie), but Francis will not be aware this vote occurred until AFTER Part of Your World is applied. His vetoes may be spent before he is aware of this vote.

Go on and Kiss the Girl – Daphne will take on the body proportions of someone most dreaded by any self-respecting mermaid: that of Ariel from the 1989 animated Disney movie The Little Mermaid (aged up to the mermaid equivalent of 18 to meet community standards, of course). This transformation will also change Daphne’s reproductive system to better match that of humans, which will remove any residual desire Daphne would have for that delicious egg stimulating batter the Master produces. In exchange, the Master will gain a mermaid form that he can switch to at will (The Little Human).

The Master Becomes the Apprentice – According to the rules she has imposed on Tina, Daphne is an 8th level wizard. While Daphne’s magic will be bound to the rules she imposed on Tina regardless, does the advisor really need that many levels? Daphne’s Wizard Level is reduced to Level 1. In exchange, the Master immediately gains 5 levels of wizardry, which, while required to follow the same rules as Daphne, he will be able to make all decisions about. While on the show, he can use all wizard features as he wishes, but once the show is over, the Master will need to meet all other requirements (namely, becoming a member of a non-human species, due to the mundane nature of his world of origin) to casting wizardry spells if he wishes to continue (Wizard).

The Master Becomes the Assistant – Good news, Dungeon Mermaid lovers! Dungeons for Damsels will continue regardless of Daphne’s continued employ at the hotel. Bad news for Daphne, this transformation is the only way she’ll be allowed to work on her baby again if she’s in the harem. Daphne is demoted to assistant at her shop instead of just being fired and replaced. She will earn a portion of BP of items sold in the shop as a commission. In exchange, the Master gets to be, well, the Dungeon Master, making all future decisions about the dungeon. If he changes something while someone is in the middle of a run, any changes made will start applying the next run (Dungeon Mermaid).
