Gimmick Tweaks - Prelude

At Serenity's exclamation of what is forthcoming, the screen that once displayed the VP scoreboard shifts as it hovers higher up in the sky. While each of the contestants’ faces remain, the area that once showed their points now instead displays three black-barred sequences for each competitor, the associated text composed entirely of question marks.

“Finally! Finally, finally, finally~! It is transformation time~!” Serenity begins, her eyes gleaming as she beams like a little school girl outside of a toy store. “Each round, each of you who remain in the game will be presented with three different options for possible transformations that you might endure. Each of these transformations represents a different pathway, similar to how one’s career can change in the blink of an eye! Think of it like you hitting gold on a hot new catchphrase, or innovating a flashy new move - except this time, you're just reinventing yourself! Just like all the greats are able to!”

“Wait, are we... Are we **** to take these? Every round?” Linda asks, finding her voice as her tone remains soft, submissive, and fearful.

“Well, for the most part, yes." Serenity answers, before elaborating further. "See, whoever wins the challenge put forth each week is completely exempt from being transformed!”

A hushed silence falls over each of the contestants, eyes widening as the stakes are raised once more.

“Sooo, if you don’t want to be transformed? Just start a winning streak so large that we don’t even need to artificially inflate the numbers of it!” Serenity cheers, only to receive confused looks from the contestants. “What? Too specific?” Serenity huffs. “Fine." Her face resets to neutral. "For the rest of you, you’ll be given one of the three options that are listed on the screen next to your little icon, with the fans being allowed the honor and privilege of deciding what the next step of your careers here entail. Now then, without any further ado… Penelope!”

As the biggest name on the show forcibly stands up, a spotlight shines down onto her from up above, the rest of the natural lighting becoming darker around her and the host.

“Let’s see what might possibly be in store for our Hollywood hopeful here!”

Penelope:

Picture Perfect: If you’re going to be the top star of a company, or a future Hollywood star, then you best look the part! Penelope will no longer be required to maintain stuff like makeup or hair care (although hygiene will still be required, regardless of this transformation). In addition, Penelope will gain a natural boost to her overall appearance, and will gain a compulsion to flaunt her looks more often, with this compulsion getting worse the more people that look at her. (Exhibitionist)

Five Moves Of Doom: Being the future top star of a company doesn’t mean you have to be good at what you do. In fact, as long as you look good, then your skills don’t truly matter! Every day, Penelope will randomly cycle between one of five skills: Oral, Anal, Handjob, Boobjob, and regular Sex. Whichever skill is chosen will see Penelope become exceptionally gifted at said skill, but leave her completely inexperienced with the other four skills, to the point of not even knowing what they are. In addition, Penelope will feel an uncontrollable urge to showcase each selected skill throughout the day, with her being required to do at least one action that demonstrates her current mastery. (Rookie)

I’m Better Than You…: Penelope knows her success is guaranteed, and now? Everyone else will, too. Any time Penelope wins a challenge, gains VP, or otherwise succeeds at something important to her, Penelope will be compelled to brag about it to others, regardless of their feelings about said success. Penelope will also become extra combative towards those she is within 5 VP of, and will feel compelled to best them however she can, be it during challenges, impromptu competitions, or any other metric she can think of. (Heel)

Penelope's Strawpoll

Penelope looks on in surprise, reading through her options a second, and then a third time. Notably, her eyes keep lingering on the phrasing of ‘a natural boost to her overall appearance’, subconsciously bringing a hand up to her chest and feeling the firmness of it beneath her top.

“So then, Penelope? Which one would you like to get?” Serenity asks, startling Penelope.

“A-Ah!” Penelope pulls her hand away from herself, blushing. “Well, the third one sounds alright. Although, I guess I wouldn’t mind if I got the first one. You know, if that’s what the people want…” Penelope admits, averting her eyes from the host.

“Oh, it seems someone might be a touch self-conscious about herself. We’ll see if the audience pays any attention to your sympathetic plight. For the time being, though…”

Another spotlight shines down, bathing Christian in a ray of light.

“H-Huh? You’re not transforming me, are you?!” Christian asks, alarmed.

“What? No!" Serenity exclaims, before shaking her head. "Producer’s sake, I’m just asking you for your opinion on Penelope’s potential changes!”

Christian shakes his own head, a rush of embarrassment flushing out his face from his own overreaction. “Oh, well… wait, why are you asking me?” He asks.

“Because, Christian, these are your girls we’re talking about here!” Serenity pulls Penelope into her own spotlight, the platinum blonde starlet yelping. “You can’t tell me you don’t have a preference for how you want them to turn out~.”

After a few seconds of weighing his options, Christian sighs. “Uh, I guess… I’ll go with the first one? Whatever’s going to make Penelope the happiest.”

Serenity grins, looking down at Penelope. “You hear that? Your little fanboy from years’ past wants you to be happy~.” Serenity coos, sending Penelope off back to her seat. "Ah, I can already hear the wedding bells a-chiming..." Serenity sighs, before returning to her usual self. “Anyway, onto our second girl, Gail!” The spotlight on Penelope flickers, and shifts over to Gail, who is **** into her position next to Serenity. “Let’s see what you’ve got!”

Gail:

Lie, Cheat, Steal: Being the resident Anti-Hero, that means Gail should have no regard for what the rules say, or whether she should be following them. Whenever there are rules to be followed, be they visible to her or just orally instructed of her, Gail will try to bend and break said rules, as long as it is to her advantage. If someone catches her doing this, however, Gail will allow them to punish her as they see fit, in whatever way that they desire, until they feel she has repented for trying to go against what has already been set in stone around her. (Bratty)

Demon In Your Dreams: Despite not having ever stepped foot inside the ring, Gail’s personality is a natural fit for her Anti-Hero persona. Now? Her body will be amplified to match, transforming her into the rebellious beauty she always wanted to be - and the one that her parents and bosses always not-so-secretly despised. (Goth)

Best For Business: Despite her Anti-Hero persona, Gail will become far closer to what the authority figures in her life desire, both in body and mind. With this transformation, Gail will gain an overall boost to her appearance, and become more willing to do what those in positions of power tell her to. As a bonus, Gail will become more sensitive to compliments and praise from others, receiving pleasure based on the strength of said feedback. (Good Girl)

Gail's Strawpoll

“WHAT THE FUCK?!” Gail shouts out, eyes flashing between the screen and Serenity.

“What is it? Are you not a fan of your choices?” Serenity asks, smirking.

“Not a fan? Not a fan?! What are you, blind?!” Gail begins physically shaking, trying to restrain herself from attempting to throttle Serenity. “Jesus christ, do you even SEE what that third option says?!”

“Hmm, let’s see here… Gail will become far closer to what the authority figures in her life desire, both in body and mind. With this transformation-”

“Yeah, okay, thanks! Congratulations, you can fucking read!” Gail cuts her off, before taking a step backwards. “What I’m trying to say is, why the fuck is it that the blondie over there is getting all of these nice and comfy little changes, and meanwhile, I’m here getting one that can completely change who I am as a fucking human being?!”

“Hey, it’s not sunshine and rainbows for me either, you know?” Penelope calls out from her seat. “You think I want to wake up each day worrying about whether or not I can eat breakfast without trying to **** it in the process?”

In response to this, Gail merely flips Penelope off, not wanting to deal with her problems, as well.

“Well, I suppose we know which one you don’t want to see chosen. But do you have any preference on which one you’d like to have for yourself?” Serenity asks, keeping her hands raised in case of any attempts at lashing out against her.

Gail growls under her breath, but eventually relents. “I… I suppose that the second one isn’t all that bad." Gail breathes out. "It means I would finally be able to get all of those tattoos that I wanted.”

“Y-Yeah. I second her choice.” Christian chimes in, Serenity shaking her head.

“You know, Christian, if all you’re going to do is echo what the girls want, it’s really not going to be that fun for the people at home, you know?”

“Fun? We’re dealing with fucking life-changing transformations here!” Gail snaps. She doesn’t get much further than that, as she’s led back to her chair, stewing in her anger as the spotlight flickers once more.

“Well, let’s hope that our next set of options prove to be a bit better for you, Willow!”

Willow:

Wellness Policy: Willow will no longer be affected by the negative effects of **** or ****. She will still experience the mental highs associated with taking them, but the effects on her body will disappear. This transformation has no effect on any existing addictions, nor does it apply retroactively to her entire life. (Party Animal)

Weapons Specialist: Practically every good hardcore wrestler has some sort of affinity for various forms of ‘plunder’ to be found, whether it be under the ring or under the bed. Willow will be given a complete set of toys, ropes, clamps, cuffs, chains, and other assorted tools for the bedroom, and will gain an instinctual knowledge both on how to use them, and also how to maximize one's pleasure whilst using them. (Masochist)

FMK, All Fucking Day: Hardcore wrestling isn’t just known for bloodshed and ****; It’s also home to some of the most diehard fans in all of pro wrestling, and those fans deserve some satisfaction of their own. Each week, Willow will receive a list of tasks to perform, in order to please the fans watching at home. Performing these tasks successfully gives her extra BP, in correspondence to the difficulty or popularity of said task. Failing to do any of these tasks over the course of the week causes Willow to receive a temporary transformation (lasting anywhere from 24 hours to a full week) as punishment for her failure. (People’s Champion)

Willow's Strawpoll

Compared to Gail before her, Willow’s reaction is less explosive. The pale girl carefully looks over each of her options, pausing on the failure text written on her third option, before looking at the host.

“So, by temporary transformation… What exactly does that entail?” Willow asks, only to receive a shrug from Serenity in return.

“Don’t know. You’ll just have to find out, if you even get that transformation in the first place.”

Willow nods. Her eyes return to the screen, a few moments ticking by.

“The first one.” Willow turns, hearing Christian’s voice. “I want the first one for Willow.”

“Huh? Why?” Willow asks. “Do you really think I’m doing all sorts of harmful shit? It’s just weed and booze, sometimes. It’s not like I’m some mindless crack addict.”

“Yeah, but-”

“But nothing!” Willow cuts him off. “It’s my lifestyle, and if I want to keep going with it, then honestly? I don’t care if I get the first transformation or not. It’s not like I drink all the time. And besides, smoking weed isn’t even that bad for your health.”

Christian goes to argue, but before he can do so, Serenity is already there.

“Yeah, no need for you to act like some straight edge savior, Master. Besides, we both know you’ve decided to, let’s say, partake in a few libations, from time to time?” Serenity’s smirk extends just a touch as Christian blushes, turning his face away from the host. At this, Serenity refocuses. “So then, Willow, you seem indifferent on number one, but what about the other two? Anything in particular you’re interested in?”

“Honestly…” Willow shrugs. “Not really? None of those can be all that bad, right? I mean, even the tasks one sounds kind of fun.”

At Willow’s indifference, Serenity just slouches forward, having the wind taken out from under her.

“Oh… Oh well, then." Serenity postures up. "Guess we’ll just have to see how the transformations shake out for our next contestant, then. Kehlani!”

Upon hearing the call, Kehlani stands up, surprisingly of her own accord, and carefully makes her way next to Serenity. The closer she gets, the more she seems to shrink into herself, mentally hoping for her changes to be more pleasant and less… Kehlani shudders.

Kehlani:

The Ultimate Underdog: People always love to root for the underdog! In Kehlani’s case, that applies both to her placement on the scorecard, and to her waifish figure. Each week, Kehlani will receive additional VP, based on her performance in the weekly popularity poll. In addition, the cuter Kehlani acts or is perceived to be, the more sexually attractive she appears as to others. (Cute)

Experienced Hand: Regardless of their win/loss records, Jobbers always have a bevy of experience and wisdom to pass onto those around them. Whenever someone needs assistance on a topic concerning matters regarding either their wrestling ability or pleasing the Master, they will feel compelled to ask Kehlani for it, to which she will answer as truthfully and honestly as she possibly can. (Enhancement Talent)

Bump and Feed: Kehlani might be a jobber, but with her current size? Even she will have some trouble truly being able to put others over. To compensate for this, Kehlani will be given a few inches of height and a bit of extra padding, that way she'll be able to sell her opponents' offense more effectively during her matches. (Jobber To The Stars)

Kehlani's Strawpoll

Serenity lets out a low whistle, turning towards Kehlani. “Well then… Some interesting options here.”

Kehlani is frozen, her legs shivering and shaking. She reads through her transformations, and collapses to her knees, no longer able to continue standing. Her face becomes engulfed in a red-violet hue, as she stammers incoherently, each breath coming from her mouth like hot steam in the midst of a blizzard.

“Uh… Kehlani?”

No response is given. Serenity lets out an exhaling chuckle, and helps guide her back to her seat, shaking her head.

“Well, while Kehlani reboots mentally, do you have any preference on what you’d want to see, Master?”

Christian looks at Kehlani, and then back to the list of options.

“I… Guess I’d say the first one? It seems to be the least… Overwhelming?”

Serenity purses her lips, but nods.

“Sure, let’s go with that. Now then, Linda?”

As soon as her name is called, Linda rushes up to Serenity.

“Y-Yes?” Linda tries to understand why her body jolted like that, before her prior transformation flashes in her mind. “Wait, what about-”

“Nope. Sorry, Linda, but your prior transformation? That’s completely separate! Although, it did make things easier for me to get you out of your seat, considering how deferential you are to your ‘clients’.”

Linda’s eyes widen, as the options then appear.

Linda:

Sunny Disposition: Sometimes, it's not enough for a manager to simply think and act on behalf of their client. Sometimes, they must dress the part as well. Linda's wardrobe is automatically adjusted to match her current client, with her being unable to dress in anything her current client would not approve of. If Linda has multiple clients, then her wardrobe will become an amalgamation of their combined fashion styles. (Bimbo)

The Mouth Of The South: While Linda might not be able to get as physically involved as she once could before, that doesn't mean she can't put her mouth to good use. Whenever her client(s) are invited to the Master's Suite, Linda may freely join in without any repercussion. If she does so, however, she will be compelled to serve as a 'fluffer' for her client, ensuring the maximum amount of pleasure possible for both her client(s) and the Master. (Cuckquean)

The Advocate: Just like how a manager in wrestling looks to push their clientele to the top of the card, Linda should look to push her clientele to the top of the Harem. Linda gains a compulsion to push her current client(s) to the top of the VP standings, whether by negotiating favorable opportunities, sabotaging other competitors, or being willing to lend a hand in her client's acts. (Servant)

Linda's Strawpoll

Linda lets out a breath she was holding in, her posture relaxing ever so slightly. They weren’t exactly great, but they also could have been worse. Much, much worse. Although… The thought of being stuck watching as Christian pleasured others instead of getting some herself? Linda takes another, shakier breath, looking towards him before shaking her head, trying to rid herself of the disgusting feeling that transformation gives her.

“Hmm, a bit lighter than I expected.” Serenity pops up, startling Linda. “Then again though, you did already receive a transformation today. I suppose it’s only fair your second ones are a bit lighter. Wouldn’t be fair if you got two **** ones back-to-back, considering how it might end up completely skewing the popularity polls.”

“The polls?” Linda asks, alarmed and annoyed by that being the sole metric which Serenity is worried about.

“Yeah, I’d rather not deal with accusations of bias, or showing favoritism to certain contestants. It might not seem like it, but I am trying to be honorable to you all, and make sure these 160 days work out as best they can for you, you know?”

Of course, nobody’s buying into what Serenity is saying, but Linda nods anyway. Whatever gets the attention off of her, for the moment.

“Uhm… I think I’d prefer the third one? It… Doesn’t seem that bad, to be honest.” Linda admits.

“Huh. And here I thought you’d be afraid of being seen as a scheming, manipulative bitch.”

At this, Linda scoffs. "Oh, please. You know who I used to work for, don't you?"

Serenity pauses. "...Point taken." She then turns to Christian. "How about you, Master? Which one of these do you think would fit in best with Harem Hotel Wrestling's first manager?"

Christian's eyes scan the list of options. Once, then twice. "I think the first one is fine. Not that the suited look doesn't fit you, Linda. But I think it'd be interesting to see how your wardrobe changes depending on who your client is."

While Linda wants to respond to that, instead a question pops into the mind of the manager. "Wait, actually, that's a good point. How do I determine who my client is?"

"Hmm..." Serenity ponders. After a couple of seconds, a decision is made. "I could just randomize it, but that's not exactly fun. After all, what if you get someone who simply isn't interested? Nobody likes to see a manager and client with bad chemistry." Serenity shakes her head. For a brief second, Christian does the same, before catching himself. Thankfully, Linda doesn't notice. "How about this? I'll leave the decision up to you, Linda."

"What?" Linda asks, taken aback. "You, you're actually going to leave it up to me?" Linda's eyes narrow. "What if I just choose not to take on any clientele?"

At that, Serenity's smile returns. "Oh don't you worry, Linda. I'm sure you'll find it rather difficult to be without a steady client." Serenity winks at the camera, before fixing her gaze back onto Linda. "After all, what's the purpose of a manager if she doesn't have a client to serve?"

"The same purpose as I am going to serve in this game." Linda fires back, her voice calm and level. "I might not be able to raise my voice against you anymore, Serenity, but that doesn't mean I have to play by your rules."

After a few seconds, Serenity's smile wavers... But stands firm. "Well, alright then. I guess I can't **** you to fall into your archetype so easily." Serenity shrugs, before turning away from Linda entirely.

As she does so, Linda looks over to Christian, who offers her a supportive smile. However, as the thought of being left without a client slowly swirls in her mind, Linda absentmindedly crosses her legs, feeling an odd warmth briefly pass over her. Before she can recognize the source of it, the warmth fades entirely, leaving Linda feeling slightly concerned. But it's not enough to shake her resolve completely.

“So… I guess I’m next, then.” Nikkita states, slowly getting out of her chair.

“Yep! You eager to see what your options are?”

“Honestly? No.” Nikkita scowls. “I want to get this over with. It’s not like you’re going to skip over me if I don’t want any of them.”

Serenity pouts, once again finding herself feeling deflated by Nikkita’s attitude. “Hmmph, well, someone got a bit more vocal…” Serenity mutters to herself, as the options for Nikkita appear.

Nikkita:

The 10th Wonder Of The World: Sometimes, it isn’t about having a gimmick, or a deep repertoire. Sometimes, being a Monster is all about having the size to pull it off. Nikkita receives a boost in her own height, towering over those around her. In addition, Nikkita’s body will receive some additional size, to truly sell the grand scale of this monstrous contestant. (Giantess)

BFG: While some monsters are all about destructive dominance, others like Nikkita show that not all monsters are created equal. Nikkita receives a boost to her ability to feel empathy. In addition, Nikkita’s muscles will soften, becoming more supple, and giving her the perfect body to lay your head against. (Girly Girl)

??? (No Remorse Corps): In life, and in pro wrestling, accidents happen. What happens, happens, and with this? Nikkita will be far more understanding of that fact of life. Nikkita’s guilt from the injury she caused will be retroactively erased, with history being altered to show her continuing her career, as if nothing ever happened. In addition, Nikkita will feel a lessened sense of remorse from her overall actions, believing that whatever happens is either a mere accident, or simply an unavoidable consequence of her doing whatever it was that she wanted. (???)

Nikkita's Strawpoll

Nikkita stays silent as she looks over her options. Her eyes wander over the third one, which remains blacked out, unable to be seen. Her mind races, trying to figure out what it could possibly be, but eventually? She stops, giving a nasty look towards Serenity.

“So what? I’m stuck with either keeping my muscles but growing overall, or just… Becoming a better person, at the cost of my body?”

“Well, there is always the third option.” Serenity smiles, Nikkita scowling in response.

“Yeah… No. Let’s just go for me being a decent person, please? I don’t mind losing this body if it means I keep my mind intact.” At that, both pairs of eyes turn to Christian, each of them with a different air about them.

“You know, I wouldn’t mind the first one.”

“Of course you would…” Nikkita huffs under her breath. Christian's face droops slightly, but Serenity gives him a smile.

“I’m sure a lot of people feel the same way, Master.” Serenity tries to comfort him, not-so-secretly happy for the diversity in opinions finally shining through.

Before Nikkita even starts to head back to her seat, Yukari is already standing, and she walks straight into the same spotlight that Nikkita left.

“Alright, alright, finally! My turn!” Yukari calls out, gesturing for Nikkita to sit down… Which she does, although silently glaring at Yukari behind her back.

“You know… I did say that multiple people can win, Yukari?” Serenity still smiles, speaking in a more teasing sort of tone.

Yukari blushes, but keeps her eyes on the screen. “Yeah, I heard you! B-But it doesn’t matter! I’ll just… I’ll just win first! A-And then I’ll get the wish." Yukari nods, before glancing at the others. "See, I’m fine if the others win. But now that I know a wish is at stake, too? I’ll for sure be taking it home with me after this show is finished!”

As Serenity nods, the transformation options for Yukari reveal themselves.

Yukari:

Fighting Spirit: This transformation cranks Yukari’s competitive nature up to eleven. No matter what the competition is, Yukari will absolutely HAVE to do her best to try and win during every challenge and impromptu contest, rather than just during a ‘Loser Leaves the Harem’ match. (Arch Competitor)

Excellence of Execution: When you’re striving for absolute greatness, you cannot simply pick and choose what it is you're good at; You must improve at everything, in order to be the best in the world at whatever it is you do. Yukari gains an uncontrollable urge to ensure Master’s happiness, both sexually and otherwise. This extends to her learning entirely new skills, memorizing specific preferences, and even going as far as possible self-modification, if it is required of her to become the Master’s favorite. (Drone)

Magical Sugar Rabbits: …It is a pro wrestling thing, go and look it up. Anyhow, Yukari already shares plenty of (presumed) traits with that of a rabbit, including her natural speed and agility, as well as her high level of stamina. Now, though, she’ll be a lot closer to rabbits than ever before - because she will now be part-rabbit, complete with the fluffy cottontail, floppy ears, and a penchant for wearing the suits of her newfound lineage. (Bunny Girl)

Yukari's Strawpoll

“Wha… W-What?” Yukari gasps, staring up at the screen.

“Something wrong?” Serenity asks.

“N-Nnn…” Yukari squirms, forcing herself to give a proper response. “N-No, no, it’s… It’s fine. Everything is fine. These… These are nothing!" Yukari shakily boasts. "It... It doesn’t matter which one of these I get, I…” Yukari takes in a gulp of air, exhaling soon after. “I’ll still be able to win. No big deal. This is just… A handicap!”

“Oh? A handicap, you say?” Serenity takes on a look of intrigue, eyeing Yukari.

“Yeah… Yeah! It's just a handicap! Against me! B-Because obviously, since I’m the… Clear favorite among the eight people currently competing, there's got to be something that keeps me from just… From just dominating the entire competition.” Yukari states, nodding her head as if it were completely factual.

From his chair, Christian shakes his head, looking at the other contestants to try and gauge their reactions. Without the spotlight being on them, it makes it more difficult for him to tell how they are handling things, but Gail’s audibly restrained laughter and an annoyed sigh from Nikkita is all he truly needs, before standing up once more to draw the attention onto himself.

“Well, uh… Be that as it may, I’m going to throw my support behind the first option. After all, I know that Yukari already hates losing. So, it’s not like that’s going to be a huge change for her, overall.”

“Aww, you don’t think that Yukari would make for a cute little bunny?” Serenity asks teasingly.

“Hey! Watch it! You’re supposed to be impartial, you know?” Yukari calls out, pointing directly at Serenity while keeping her pinkened face turned away from the cameras.

“Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you, for now. Besides, I think that covers it for all of our transformations!” Serenity claps her hands.

The spotlights fade, as the screen remains looming over the contestants in the ring. At the shifting of light in the outdoor arena, Kehlani finally comes to, perplexed about how she got back into her chair. She turns her gaze to the screen up above, and memories rush back in of how exactly she had shut down in the first place. But this time, Kehlani holds strong, purposefully avoiding the other options she hadn’t previously seen displayed.

“Huh? Is it over, already?” Kehlani groggily asks, before looking up at the screen once more. “Wait, why does Renee not receive a transformation?”

Upon asking that question, Renee’s gaze snaps onto Kehlani, the newly transformed girl silently hoping the host had not heard her query.

“Oh? Oh, you’re absolutely right!” Serenity calls out.

A look of somewhat-frightened indignation crosses Renee’s expression as she is compelled to her feet, Kehlani looking towards her apologetically. The spotlights return once more, as Serenity stands across from Renee.

“Sorry for making you think you got off easy this time around, Renee.” Serenity apologizes, the smile behind her words making its lack of sincerity clear.

“...It’s fine.” Renee finally speaks, her voice still notably softer than before. However, it still maintains the same air of hostility she held prior to her transformation, which she aims directly at Serenity. “I shouldn’t have expected anything less from someone like you.”

Serenity takes a dramatic backstep. A hand goes over her heart, as she sways, pretending as if she is going to faint. “What is that supposed to mean? It’s not my fault I had to turn you into a woman for the sake of the season’s rules.”

“And you weren’t allowed to just not pick me for this season, because…?” Renee asks, with Gail giving a side-eyed nod towards her, unbeknownst to Renee.

“Because…” Serenity trails off, breaking eye contact for the camera. “Let’s check out your transformation pathways!”

Renee:

Respect Tradition: Given her veteran status, Renee should be more than familiar with the ins and outs of both society and the wrestling business, and all of its time-honored traditions that deserve to be upheld. Renee receives instant boosts to her knowledge of cooking, cleaning, sewing, and housekeeping, as well as a general sense of inferiority to the Master. This sense of inferiority grants her a compulsion to act as a caretaker for Christian, wanting to cook and clean for him, just like a good housewife should. (MILF)

Head of Talent Relations: While most of the contestants here are to be known for their in-ring craft, sometimes the veteran is better served elsewhere within the company's ranks. Renee gains the title of "Head of Talent Relations", which serves as the in-between the Master and the rest of his harem. Renee gains a sense of unwavering loyalty and devotion towards Christian, and also gains an uncontrollable urge to 'test out' the other girls within the harem, to make sure that they are worthy of sharing a bed with the Master. (Executive)

Put ‘Em Over: In the past, Renee has used her veteran status to hold down talent that deserved the opportunity to become stars of the industry. Now, she’ll be giving back, in more ways than one. Each morning, Renee will receive a deep-rooted compulsion to try to “put over” one random contestant for the entire duration of that day. This compulsion can only be satisfied by helping out this person in a significant way, and is only deemed as satisfied when the person she’s trying to “put over” says so. In exchange, Renee will receive extra BP if the person she most recently “put over” either wins a challenge, or gains VP by interacting with Christian. (Submissive)

Renee's Strawpoll

“You… You sick, depraved, perverse fuck.” Renee growls out.

“Why do you keep insisting on blaming me for things that aren’t my fault to begin with?” Serenity fires back. “I don’t control these transformation choices! This is what popped up, so just deal with it.”

Serenity and Renee both stare each other down, sparks flying between the two of them. Similar to last time, Renee speaks first once again.

“For the record, I absolutely despise each and every one of these sick, perverted options. But, if you’re forcing me to pick one? Then I’ll take the first one. But only because it will give me some new skills that I never learned." Renee speaks directly into the camera, before turning her head off towards the Master. "I have absolutely no desire to try and serve someone like him anytime soon.” Renee bluntly states, leaving a moment of silence behind in its wake.

“I have no comment on this.” Christian retorts, arms folded, head turned away from the screen.

The spotlights die off once more. The screen goes back to neutral, and Serenity looks back at the hardcam. Her left eye twitches once, before a smile once again appears on her lovely visage.

“Well, that’s all the transformations, then~!” Serenity exclaims, ignoring the clear cut tension still radiating off of Christian and Renee, as well as the various other glares being sent her way from some of the other contestants. “Now please, remember to go vote in the first popularity poll of the season, and tune in next time for…” Serenity turns her head, eyeing the contestants, and how most of them either seemingly want to rip the host’s head off, or bash each other’s brains in. “...What is sure to be the most must-see season in all of Harem Hotel’s history!” She closes out, the camera feed fading off, as her smile does the same not even a second later...

Week 0 Popularity Poll
