Get some sleep I need to be alone

Morgana blinked as she regained consciousness. She was sitting in the bathroom. Huh… did I pass out? She wondered, looking around. The last thing she remembered was her head filling with fantasies and then running in here.

Then she looked down at her lap and her blood went cold. Her diary was open, and the second page was filled with red scribbles. It depicted a wild and lurid fantasy in excruciating detail, far more intense and sexual than the ones she’d written last night.

“No…” She gasped, clutching the book in her hands. She started to shake. “Oh, no!”

“Morgana?” Kim’s pounding fist caused her to flinch. She stared fearfully at the door. “Morgana, is everything okay in there?”

“D-Don’t come in!” She shouted, clutching the book to her chest. “Go away, I’m fine!”

“…I’m not going to come in, you locked the door,” Kim pointed out, calming down a little now that the goth wasn’t freaking out as much herself.

“Oh…” Growing up, Morgana’s parental units hadn’t been a big fan of privacy. None of the doors in their house had locks, because they didn’t want her “shutting them out”. So Morgana hadn’t even realized at the time.

Relieved Kim wasn’t going to come break the door down, Morgana relaxed a hair- but only just a hair. After all, she had a huge problem on her hands. She’d just written in the diary again, after promising everyone that she wouldn’t.

Oh my gosh! Why can’t I control myself?! This is the worst, just the worst! She clutched her head and started trembling. Everyone was going to hate her, Dani was going to get mad at her, she’d never make any friends, and she’d be eliminated from the harem without hesitation, all because she didn’t have any self-control!

She wanted to hide behind her identity as a witch and use her magic to ensure that everything would be okay. But in spite of her boasts, she knew in her heart that wouldn’t be possible. Her magic had limits, if it ever worked at all.

At her core, in spite of her bluster, Morgana was still just a frightened teenage girl.

“Morgana, please, I just want to talk…” Kim sounded tired, but she also sounded so gentle. “Is everything okay? I know you’re crying, I can hear you…”

Crying? She was crying?

Morgana brought her hand to her cheek and realized it was damp. She hadn’t even noticed she’d been crying this whole time. But now that she did, she couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“UWAAAAAAAAH!” Kim stumbled back in surprise as the door burst open and Morgana threw herself into her arms. But the goth wasn’t some stick of a girl anymore, she had a lot more meat on her bones. And Kim had lost her muscular figure, so down she went.

“M-Morgana?” She stammered out the other girl’s name, trying to get through to her, but Morgana just continued to cry.

“It’s… it’s… not faaaaaaiiir!” Morgana wailed. “I’m trying to make friends with people, but nobody likes me!”

“Hey, come on now, I’m sure that’s not true!” Kim tried to soothe the temperamental goth, but that proved difficult with how hard the other girl was crushing her ribs.

“It iiiiiiisss!” Morgana blubbered, squeezing even tighter. “This morning, Dani… Dani wanted to hit me… and Mary, she was so mean all day, and Dakota….” Her voice cracked and she started bawling. “Nobody wands do be by fwieeeennnd!”

Kim finally managed to position her body in a way that she could sit up, and pried herself free of Morgana’s vise grip. She tucked her legs underneath her and faced the other girl, offering her hanky.

Morgana blew her nose in Kim’s skirt instead. Gross. If she wants friends she could try working on her interpersonal skills.

“S-Sowwie…” She mumbled, staring at the floor.

“Look, Morgana, it’s fine, everything’s going to be fine,” Kim said gently. “You just had a bad first day, that’s all. You just have to do better tomorrow and be friendlier to the others. People were a little tense because of that diary issue, but that’s not-”

Morgana burst into tears all over again.

“But… but-! I did it agaaaaiin!” She wailed. “I didn’t want to, I promise! But I couldn’t help myself! It all just came out!”

She held up the diary for Kim to see, and indeed, she’d depicted quite a steamy scene on the pages. Kim felt herself blushing as she remembered her own sexual encounter with Nick that afternoon.

But she didn’t get mad. Believe it or not, Morgana was far from the first crying girl she’d had to comfort. Back when she worked in the county library she’d had to deal with a lot of people who treated an overdue library book like they’d run over somebody’s dog, and were practically in hysterics. She needed to handle this calmly and gently. “Morgana, why did you do that? You knew it was wrong.”

“I… I don’t knoooow…” Morgana whimpered. “I didn’t want to… but it just… it all kept filling my head, and then… before I knew it, I… I had to do! I don’t even remember doing it…!”

Kim frowned. “So you don’t remember anything? What, like you blacked out?”

Morgana shook her head. The innocent look in her eyes made Kim that much more certain. She ground her teeth together. “Sylvia-!” She muttered under her breath.

“Yes, you called?” Sylvia popped into the room wearing a big smile on her face.

“What did you do to Morgana?” Kim demanded.

“Ooh, so fierce!” The blonde licked her lips. “Maybe there’s a little bit of that tomboy in you after all, huh?”

With all the fury of an underappreciated minimum wage employee telling their manager where to shove it Kim rose to her feet and aimed a glare at the host. “Sylvia…!”

“Geez, fine, fine, don’t go into conniptions,” Sylvia groaned, rolling her eyes. “You were so much more fun when you didn’t give a damn about anything, you know?”

“What did you do to her?” Kim repeated.

“Nothing, I did nothing,” Sylvia assured them. She smirked in Morgana’s direction. “All of that was in her head already.”

Morgana flinched, her face turning rosy with shame.

“You know that’s not what I’m talking about,” Kim snapped. “I mean the transformation. You made it out like it was a choice, but she HAS to write in the diary every night, doesn’t she?”

“You’re being exceptionally pedantic here. I’m innocent!”

Kim shrugged. “What can I say? I clerked for a law office for a little bit. I wasn’t paying attention before, but let’s see exactly what her transformation says, please.”

Sylvia rolled her eyes again. She raised her cane and the words of Morgana’s transformation appeared in the air in front of them.

Dear Diary: Morgana will receive a magic diary. Every night, she’ll write down her sexual fantasies for the day in the diary, and other contestants will see those fantasies in their dreams. (Fantasy)

“I knew it!” Kim groaned.

“See? You can read, can’t you?” The blonde sneered. “It doesn’t say ‘she can write down her sexual fantasies’ does it, miss ‘I clerked for a supreme court justice over Christmas or whatever’. Well, does it?”

“S-so… I have to write down in the diary?” Morgana stared down at the book. When she first got it, she’d been riding the high of this amazing situation, but now reality was starting to crash down on top of her and she was far less enthusiastic about this particular transformation.

“That’s not what you said this morning!” Kim exclaimed. “You said-”

“I said if she didn’t write in the diary, there was a risk of her fantasies overrunning her,” Sylvia cut her off. She gestured her cane towards Morgana. “And that’s exactly what happened. She got overloaded by fantasies, and poured the juiciest one out onto the page.”

“But that’s not-!” Kim was about to complain that wasn’t fair, but then she remembered who she was talking to. The thought that Sylvia would give a damn about “fairness” was completely laughable.

“I’m sure you’ll be able to empathize with her,” Sylvia crooned. “After all, you’ve got a compulsive transformation or two that you’d rather be without, right?”

Kim’s eye twitched. Morgana looked at her in surprise. “R-Really?”

“Yeah,” Kim muttered. “One of my transformations makes it so that I have to finish something if I start it. In one of the previous challenges it really made things tense with one of my friends because I felt compelled to… it doesn’t matter.”

“Nope, it really doesn’t,” Sylvia said, shaking her head. “The fact of the matter is, Morgana will keep writing in that diary. She’ll fill up one page every day. With a lot of fantasies, or one very detailed one for a special someone, that’s up to her. But that page. Will. Be. Filled.”

“Even though it’s just going to make everyone hate her?” Kim couldn’t believe that was okay. “How’s she even supposed to make friends like this, huh?!”

Sylvia shrugged. “That’s not really my problem. Maybe cozy up to some of the more perverted degenerates who don’t mind being harangued by her fantasies? …Or, ooh, I know, maybe you could play the martyr, Kimmy, and stick by her no matter how much the others hate her? Of course, you might end up ostracized yourself, and that popularity of yours will drop even farther… but I suppose as long as you two pick each other, that’s fine, right?”

Kim felt uneasy by the harsh look in Sylvia’s eye. She’d been calling the cruel woman out all this time for her cruelty, but it was only now sinking in that the other girl could take that cruelty out on her. “Sylvia…”

“Of course, it’s all up to you.” Sylvia stalked towards her and all the affability drained from her face. “If you win the next challenge, you could be the big hero and save her from elimination!”

Before Kim could respond, Sylvia’s hand shot up and she grabbed her by the chin. “But you won’t do that, will you? No, you’ll just let her get eliminated when you could save her, because that’s what you DO!”

Kim flailed out, startled by the sudden hostility coming her way. She broke free from Sylvia’s grasp and pushed her back, stumbling and falling on the bed.

Sylvia hit the ground hard and rose to her feet, rubbing her ass. Her eyes still burned with anger but she was smiling. “Oh my… my, my, my… did you just hit me, my girl?” She cooed, stroking her cane and her can tenderly. “Now, you know what the rules say about using **** against the host…”

Kim went pale. She knew what was coming. A punishment transformation. “W-Wait, I didn’t…”

“Didn’t what? Didn’t shove me? Oh, yes, I believe you did,” Sylvia said, smirking. She raised her cane and dark energy began to swirl around it. The lights of the room started flickering and Kim realized that she’d been set up. Sylvia’s hostility had been to goad her into doing something stupid, so she’d have an excuse to punish her. This was her ****.

“Wait!” Morgana threw herself in front of Kim. “D-Don’t! It was my fault! She only got upset because she was protecting me!” She wailed, terrified out of her mind. The woman in front of her was nothing like the girl from the beach yesterday. This wouldn’t be fun or exciting! Morgana was scared out of her wits.

“Please… um…” Morgana didn’t really know how to beg for anything. She’d never had to. So she just stood there serving as a rather poor human shield while Sylvia stared incredulously at her.

“…Fine,” the host sighed, lowering her cane. The lights returned to normal and the dark energy faded, and oxygen finally returned to Kim’s lungs as she started to breathe again. “I’ll let you off the hook this time, Kimmy, since I enjoyed the way you used that transformation to finally start playing the game. But there won’t be a second chance.”

Without her tomboy transformation, Kim had enough sense to keep her mouth shut.

Morgana, on the other hand…

“Um, about my diary… do I really have to write in it?” Completely unable to read the room, Morgana assumed that because the conflict had been resolved, it was fine to go back to the previous topic for discussion. Kim cringed, preparing for the worst.

“Yes,” Sylvia tersely replied. “You have to write in it. Every night. And before you ask, no, you can’t just put down nice, fluffy happy dreams to make everyone friends. The words won’t appear unless you’re actually writing down your fantasies.”

Kim scowled. That was the loophole she’d been thinking of.

Morgana started to shake. “But… but then… everyone’s going to be mad at me…” She whispered, about to burst into tears again.

Then Kim had a crazy idea. She was hesitant to say anything, in fear of bringing Sylvia’s wrath on her again, but Morgana was probably right that if things kept up this way she’d only be further ostracized from the others.

“What if she made a deal?” Kim asked. “Like the one you and I made. To make her transformation easier.”

Sylvia turned to Kim, with an unimpressed look on her face. “Not going to happen,” she coldly rebuked her. “No more deals. From now on, everyone gets the transformation they get, as is.”

Kim clutched the white sheets, once again forcing down her desire to call out the unfairness of the situation. She settled for glaring impotently at the blonde, who seemed to greatly delight in that look in her eye.

“…Of course, in saying that, there’s simply no reason to make a deal,” Sylvia added. “If you want to work your transformation into something a little more manageable, I’ve given you all the tools you need.”

Kim and Morgana stared at her in confusion.

She narrowed her eyes into a menacing glare and smirked. “…Assuming you can afford it, of course,” she added.

Kim gasped. “That’s right! The purchase sheet!”

Morgana stared at her. “Purchase… sheet? Oh! That’s right!” She ran to the dresser where her guest basket had been set down. She’d completely forgotten. She grabbed the paper containing the things available for purchase at the shop, and rushed back to Kim. “So what do we do with this?” She asked.

“Every contestant has a list of purchases exclusive to them on the back,” Kim explained, turning the sheet over. “That must be what Sylvia means when she says you can turn things around if you can afford it!”

Both girls looked at the options on the back.

• 1000 BP: Midnight’s Kiss – What’s a goth girl without a nice set of black kissers? Contestant Morgana will receive a tube of Midnight’s Kiss, a special brand of lipstick that turns anyone it’s applied to into a sensuous goth beauty for as long as they wear it. (All changes are cosmetic only. Good for a girl who wants to switch up her style!)
• 2500 BP: Production Assistant Manager Bath Water – Contestant Morgana will receive a “magic potion” that upon consumption will grant a limited amount of transformative power. For 24 hours after a Contestant consumes the potion, their body and mind will change to best suit the fetish of the person in closest proximity to them. (Trademark Yuki, all profits and distribution rights retained, can be purchased multiple times.)
• 6000 BP: Tome of Asmodeus – Contestant Morgana will be given a magic tome. Once per round, this tome will reveal to her one of its spells, and she can use that spell for the rest of the round. (Spells are chosen at random.)

“Uh… that’s… huh?” Kim stared blankly at the note, not sure what to make of it.

“These all look… um…” Morgana knew this wasn’t a time for more fantasizing, but she couldn’t help the itch between her legs. Being able to change herself to match Nick’s fetish… but then again, did she want that? Wouldn’t it be better if she could change Nick’s fetishes to make him more receptive to a beautiful goth like herself? And that lipstick, she could use that to make a whole army of goth girls… but could she really resist the allure of the spellbook? To be able to cast real magic…

…Not that the spells she’d cast before weren’t totally real, or anything. Of course not. She was absolutely a genuine witch! But still…

“Morgana.” Kim snapped her fingers in front of the drooling goth’s face. “We need to figure this shit out. Because none of these look like they’ll help with your diary situation.”

She glanced up at Sylvia. “What’s the big idea? I thought you said this would help?”

Sylvia raised a menacing eyebrow and tightened her grip on her cane. Kim quickly humbled herself.

“…M-Ma’am.”

The host just sighed and rolled her eyes. “You’re looking on the wrong side, geniuses.”

They turned the page over and looked at the regular purchases.

*New options may be added to the store at the Host's discretion. Costs and availability may change. For Contestant-Specific Purchases, see other side.

Kim scanned the page, trying to see what she was talking about, and then she realized. “Wait! The upgrade! That’s it!”

Morgana blinked. “Upgrade?”

“Yeah, right here,” she said, pointing to the section about increasing the severity of a transformation. “Maybe if we upgrade your diary transformation, that’ll fix it somehow.” It was the only thing she could find that might have a chance to help.

“Okay, but… what’s it going to do?” Morgana was afraid that might make it even worse.

“Sylvia?” Kim looked to the host, but Sylvia returned her glance with a businesslike smile that even Kim was impressed with.

“To prevent unfair subversions of the system, it is not the policy of Harem Hotel to inform contestants of the possible consequences of their purchases. All decisions must be made based on information provided, and all sales are final!”

Figures.

Morgana was already starting to shake. Things could be better, but they could also be so much worse.

“Hey.” Kim placed her hand on the goth girl’s shoulder. “Listen. I know you’re worried. I would be too, if I was in your position. But recently, I guess I’ve gotten… what you could call a ‘new perspective’ about things. Sometimes, instead of being cautious and worrying, maybe it’s better to take a leap of faith and be bold. Can you do that?”

Morgana’s lip started to quiver. Kim was so nice, this was the nicest another girl had ever treated her before. She was nothing like those mean, pretty, popular girls she went to school with.

“Kim…” She sniffled, wiping her tears, “I’m so glad you’re not very pretty…”

Sylvia doubled over laughing while Kim tried not to smack that goth girl silly.

“Save it,” she muttered. “Can you be bold?”

Morgana took a deep breath and nodded. Then she let out a wicked laugh. “Of course I can be bold!” She proclaimed, standing tall and holding her hand over her face. “I am Morgana, Accursed Witch Mistress of the Ebony Cauldron! I shall not be cowed by the fears of mere mortals, I am fear itself!”

Sylvia decided to take that as a successful sale.

Morgana: 1800 BP – 1000 BP = 800 BP

Light flashed around her and she felt her body changing. The diary on the floor began to glow.

“Well, what do you think of your new purchase?” Sylvia smirked, presenting a screen for Morgana to read her new transformation.

Dear Diary*: Morgana will receive a magic diary. Every night, she’ll write down her sexual fantasies for the day in the diary, and other contestants will see those fantasies in their dreams. UPGRADE: Morgana’s control over the diary has expanded. By writing the name of another contestant in the margins beside a particular fantasy, she can have that contestant experience that fantasy. Furthermore, all fantasies will now be a shared experience. Instead of the contestant taking Morgana’s place in the dream, the fantasy will be reworked so that it is shared between the contestant and Morgana. (Fantasy)

“Wait, so this means she can control who gets what fantasies?” Kim asked.

“That’s right,” Sylvia nodded, holding up the diary. A set of margins appeared on the side of each page. “Just choose who you would like to get which fantasy, and that will be their dream for the night.”

She flashed a wicked smile. “I certainly hope you don’t **** that power I’ve given you, my girl.”

Kim scowled. She absolutely meant just the opposite.

“This, um… this still doesn’t help much,” Morgana mumbled, her confident façade disappearing along with Sylvia. “Whoever I choose, they’ll still get this fantasy, and be upset with me, right?”

She didn’t have to make that puppydog face for Kim to know what she was asking without asking.

“…It’s fine,” Kim sighed, hanging her head. “You can put my name. But just for tonight!”

With that issue settled, it was finally time for bed. Kim nestled down beside the curvy goth, reassured that she’d made the right choice taking the bullet for the others so no one would get upset at Morgana.

And it certainly wasn’t because she was secretly excited about experiencing the fantasy herself, not at all.
