I'd rather fail than spend my life in a jail of my very own creation

Most women would have felt strange, standing naked in the middle of an indoor garden. But Carly looked perfectly natural dressed au natural, and she wore a smile on her lips as the audience voted on her next outfit.

“…And that’s settled then,” Dakota declared, waving her cane. “The audience has spoken! And it was very, very close, but they decided that the costume you’d be wearing for your photoshoot today would be a Slutty Gothic Lolita!”

Light flashed across Carly’s body, and clothes appeared on her enhanced figure. Her massive breasts were contained in a lacy black bra, and a frilled black skirt clung to her legs. She glanced at the mirror, and smiled. She liked the look.

“Not bad,” she mused, stroking her chin. “What do you guys think?”

“I think you look great!” Sylvia chirped.

Marley nodded in agreement. “I’m just surprised you can get that outfit over those whoppers,” she noted in amusement.

Carly laughed.

Dakota was the only one who looked dissatisfied.

“Is everything alright?” Sylvia questioned, frowning.

Dakota sighed and shook her head. “I’m just disappointed, that’s all,” she said. “Don’t get me wrong, of all the results on this poll, this was the one I was pulling for. But… if you ask me, it’s simply not enough, no…”

“What do you mean?” Marley asked, frowning. She was concerned Dakota was about to try something else, and change the rules last minute.

“Well… you all wouldn’t be able to know this, but the poll was actually very close,” Dakota said, tapping her cane absentmindedly. “In fact, Slutty Gothic Lolita won by only a couple of votes!”

Sylvia shrugged. “It’s been known to happen.”

“I think it was the right choice, ultimately,” Carly said, checking out her look in the mirror again. “Gorgeous.”

Dakota couldn’t agree more. “You know what, though?” She smirked, wiggling her eyebrows. “This is a photoshoot. So I think we can bend the rules just this one time, don’t you?”

“Bend the rules how?” Marley scowled, not liking the sound of this. She glared warily at the other woman.

“Well, since the vote was so close, why not let both sides be happy?” Dakota asked, waving her cane. A cheerleader outfit landed in the grass at Carly’s feet. “Oh, but then the third group, that’s not fair to them, now is it?” She asked, summoning a nurse’s uniform as well. “So how about, for one day only, you get access to all three! You can wear whichever of them you like- in fact, let’s wear all of them together, sound good?”

Carly’s face lit up, and she cracked a smile. “Oh yeah, now that’s what I’m talking about!” She giggled, clapping her hands. “I’m liking the sound of this!”

She scooped up the clothes and turned back to her sister. “Don’t wait up for me, you two!” She called, winking at her roommates and skipping off after Dakota.

“Here we are,” Dakota said, leading Carly into the same room where Kim had done her own photoshoot. She gestured to the wardrobe, and the clothes in Carly’s hands disappeared. They reappeared on the rack, much to Carly’s interest.

“So this is where you stash away all the outfits, huh?” She walked over to the wardrobe and studied it curiously. “…Hey, wait…”

Carly realized something. There were a lot of outfits in the wardrobe, but the closer she looked, the more she realized they were all of similar styles. A bevy of cheerleader uniforms, nurse outfits, and black lace covered the rack, all the clothing slightly different but fitting one of those three categories.

“…Not a lot of variety,” she pointed out, glancing up at Dakota.

The host smirked and shrugged. “I told you, I’m going to be a little… indulgent for the sake of our audience. Consider it one of the perks of your upgrade! You can choose whichever outfits you want from there, to appeal the best. That’s fair, right?”

“I like the way your mind works, Dakota,” she giggled. “So come on then. How do you want me?” She batted her eyelashes coquettishly at the host.

“Ah, that’s right… we still have to take the pictures, don’t we?” Dakota sighed. “I knew I was forgetting something…”

The room had been set up for taking pictures, arranged with all the best lighting and high-tech camera equipment. It was perfect for a photoshoot, but…

Then a sly smile crossed Dakota’s lips.

“Oh… that’s just perfect,” she said to herself, nodding and stroking her chin conspiratorially.

“What’s up? What are you cooking up now?” Carly asked suspiciously. She and Dakota had a rather unique relationship; the host was a morally-dubious person, who had caused people she cared about a lot of pain; but at the same time, Dakota was often very courteous to her specifically.

This occasionally left Carly uncertain about how to interact with the other woman; so she defaulted to sweet and genuine. But in the back of her mind, she always considered the notion that Dakota could just be playing her, and that the host wasn’t actually her friend.

So she had to be cautious; especially when Dakota was acting nice.

“I’m not ‘cooking up’ anything,” Dakota assured the curvaceous cosplayer, shaking her head. “It’s just that I’ve had a rather busy morning, and I don’t really have time to be taking pictures all day. So I thought I should outsource to someone who will appreciate it more.”

She grinned and wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. Then with a flick of her cane, she summoned someone else into the room.

“Who, what?!” Dani popped up, her eyes wide with confusion. She was dressed in shorts and a tanktop, and her feathers were matted to her arms with the same sweat that drenched the rest of her. Dakota had summoned her up in the middle of her morning workout, and her skin was glowing.

“Dani?” Carly’s face lit up when she saw her girlfriend, and she smiled like a lovestruck schoolgirl. “Wait, Dakota?”

“Oh! Carly!” Dani brightened when she saw her girlfriend as well, and she blushed. “That… that’s your outfit for today? Wow.”

Carly looked amazing anytime, if you asked Dani. But with her enhanced breasts pushed out prominently like that, the effects were… …Wow.

“Hey,” Carly grinned. “Like what you see? Consider it your sneak preview,” she said, pursing her lips into a kiss. She posed for Dani’s pleasure, and was pleased herself by the way the tomboy couldn’t tear her eyes away from her.

Dakota cleared her throat. “I have somewhere to be,” she said, tapping her cane to get both girls’ attention. “In the meantime, Carly has a photoshoot she’s gotta do, for her transformation. And we were wondering if you could oblige by taking some photos.”

“What? Yes! …What?” Dani was confused, but that didn’t stop her from agreeing on the spot. Taking photographs of her girlfriend? Twist her arm!

Carly burst out laughing. “Well, that wasn’t hard.”

“Glad to have you onboard,” Dakota said with a smirk. “The clothes she can wear are right over there.” She nodded over to the wardrobe. “Take your pick; dress her up how you like.”

“Wait, I can do that?” Dani looked over to Carly.

Carly nodded. “Sylvia upgraded my transformation,” she explained. “And Dakota gave me a bit of flexibility; Apparently, for this photoshoot only, I can wear anything that counts as a cheerleader uniform, a nurse’s outfit, or gothic lolita. Been a while since I could pick my own clothes,” she said with a chuckle.

“…No complaints here,” Dani said, grinning.

“Great!” Dakota clapped her hands together. “I’ll leave it to you ladies then. Oh, and Dani?”

“Huh?” Dani actually managed to tear her eyes away from Carly for a second to look at Dakota. “What?”

“Nick will also be seeing these pictures,” she pointed out. “So if you want to arouse him, make sure you capture her good side.”

Dakota winked at the two of them and disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving the two lovers alone together.

Dani turned to Carly who looked back at her, and a look of quiet understanding flashed between the two.

“…So, you’re taking pictures for Nick now, then?” Carly laughed, unable to resist.

Dani blushed. “I’m taking them for everybody,” she clarified. “But… yes, my transformation is already working, it seems.” She preened her arm feathers with her fingers. “I’m imagining the two of you together, and… wow.”

“Well, maybe we can arrange something sometime,” Carly laughed. “You know, when Nick isn’t on a date with a woman who’s so… clingy.”

Dani nodded. As much as she’d like to get involved with Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin and show her the ropes with Carly again, it was probably best that they both stayed far away from the clingy, jealous killer.

“So…” Dani’s eyes slid over to the bed. “…Should we get started?”

Carly’s eyes twinkled. “…I would love to,” she chirped. She raised her hands defenselessly over her head, and arched her back to make her massive breasts bounce. Dani’s eyes were immediately drawn to her giant rack. “…So where do you want me?”

Dani blinked.

“…Huh? What?”

Carly doubled over with laughter. “Let’s start with the gothic lolita photos first,” she decided, placing with her lacy bra. “That’s what got the most votes, after all. So I think we should start with this one! Sound good?”

“Works for me,” Dani said. She wandered over to the camera. “…I have no idea what I’m doing, just letting you know. I’ve never seen half this stuff before.”

Carly laughed again. “I have some experience,” she said, walking over to the camera. “I can show you the ropes.”

After giving Dani a quick tutorial on how to handle the cameras and setting up the lighting properly, they were finally ready to start. Carly decided to begin on the bed. She looked straight-on at the camera, giving Dani her best bedroom eyes. Then she paused.

“Wait! I have an idea. This look… it would really be good if I grew my hair out, don’t you think?” She suggested.

“UH…” Dani couldn’t really process for a second. She just nodded dumbly. “Okay then,” she agreed.

Carly grew out her hair long, letting it cascade down her back. She adjusted the lace headband, trying not to jostle her hair too much and turn herself on.

There would be time for getting turned on later, but right now, the most important thing was looking her best for her gorgeous photographer.

From behind the lens, Dani’s heart was pounding in her chest. Carly looked great any day of the week, but it had been quite some time before she had her lover all to herself. She took picture after picture, capturing Carly’s beauty directly.

After a couple more shots, Carly decided that they should change things up.

“What do you think?” She called to Dani. “Any poses you want to see me in?”

“Um…” Dani’s voice caught in her throat. She swallowed and nodded quickly.

“How about, uh… lying on the bed?” She suggested.

“Works for me,” Carly chirped. “Just let me get changed.” She adjusted her outfit slightly, getting a longer skirt that would cover more of her leg, solely to pull it up and bare more skin. If you looked like you were trying to be seductive while wearing something supposedly modest, the effect would be doubled.

In contrast, she removed most of her top, leaving just the bra and a lace choker.

Dani audibly gulped this time as she snapped photos.

“Now, let me change again, I want to get some close-up shots, and that corset looks great,” Carly said, swapping out her outfit again. The top covered a little more, but as Dani adjusted the camera and drew in towards her face, she was realizing that it didn’t really matter if it covered “more” or not.

She was still way too fucking hot.

Dani’s heart pounded in her chest as she snapped photo after photo, knowing in the back of her mind that she owed Dakota big time for arranging this. But her pride wouldn’t let her thank the host outright. Instead, she decided that as a thank you, she would do her best to make the audience happy, and capture Carly in as many great poses as she could.

After they went through another dozen gothic lolita outfits or so, and a variety of poses, Carly decided it was time to switch things up.

“I think that’s enough for now,” she said, sitting up and hopping to her feet. She stripped naked, walking over to the wardrobe, and began to tie up her hair. “Pigtails work with a cheerleader costume, don’t you think?”

“…I can definitely be persuaded,” Dani replied with a giggle, aiming the camera at Carly as she changed. The cosplayer glanced over, and stuck out her tongue.

“Pervert,” she teased, and the couple burst out laughing.

The first outfit was pretty modest; a lot moreso than the gothic lolita outfits. Carly put on a bright red cheerleader costume with a skirt so short it might as well have been a belt, and her massive boobs bulged out the red shirt. She lifted up a bright yellow pom-pom and shook it beside her head, giving Dani a wink.

“Something modest first?” She chirped.

Dani snapped a few photos as Carly went through a series of exaggerated poses, giving off a slightly-erotic and yet somehow wholesome and chaste cheer routine. Her boobs bounced all over the place as she danced about.

“Give me a B! Give me an O! Give me another O! Give me another B! Give me another S!” Carly called out. “What’s that spell?”

Dani laughed. “Boobs. Very creative.”

Carly stuck out her tongue again.

“Now, let’s do something a little more intimate.” She traded out her costume, switching from red to blue. It was tighter up top, exposing more of her skin, including some of her sideboob. She sat down on the bed, and gestured for Dani to come closer.

“Huh?” Dani asked. “What’s up?”

“I want you to focus the camera right on me,” Carly said. “Up close.”

Dani obliged, adjusting her camera and focusing it in another close-up shot on Carly.

“No, from above,” Carly said, adjusting her position so she was sitting on the bed. “Actually, just let me…”

She grabbed the camera and lifted it up, pointing it at her face as she looked up into the lens and made a longing expression as she took a few selfies.

When Dani took the camera back and checked the photos, she blushed.

“Wow, that’s… WOW.”

Carly laughed. “Yes, ‘wow’ is right.” She posed for a few more shots in her blue uniform, before switching to another one.

This time, she went all-out.

Carly leaned over on the bed, revealing a sea of creamy white cleavage framed by the red and white of her newest costume. The first few had plausible deniability, but this one was definitely out of a porno; there was no way that any decent cheerleader costume would show off this much skin.

Only the indecent ones.

Dani wasn’t about to quibble about authenticity, though. There was a lot more she had on her mind right now. She took more photos, and they continued to go through cheerleader costumes of varying sizes and colors, running through practically the entire rainbow before finally calling it quits.

“I forgot how much of a pain it is to have my hair this long,” Carly said, fanning herself as she stripped naked again. “Don’t know how you can do it.”

“The super strength helps,” Dani said with a shrug. “Also, my hair is mostly feathers at this point, I think.” The texture had definitely changed, but it was still hair. Just lighter, and fluffier.

“Well, yours also isn’t giving you a spike of pleasure every time you brush it against something,” Carly pointed out. She squinted. “…At least, I don’t think so, anyway. You’re still pretty worked up, though,” she teased.

Dani might not be sweating anymore, but she was definitely flushed. The tomboy laughed.

“Let’s just move on!” She said, shaking her head. “I can’t wait to see what you look like dressed as a slutty nurse.”

They changed the arrangement of the room slightly, hanging some curtains so it would look more like a hospital room. Dani didn’t really see the point, but Carly was determined to make everything look perfect for her photoshoot.

And that included herself.

“First? I thought we should switch it up this time and go full-on fetish gear,” Carly decided, waving at Dani as she posed in her first outfit. She snapped on a pair of white gloves like she was going to be administering a prostate exame, and cocked her hip to the side. Her outfit was pretty authentic and wholesome from the nurse’s cap right on down to just above her breasts. Then a massive gap was cut out in the cloth, letting her giant boobs hang out with the support of a snow white bra. From there, it was pure sex, with an exposed midriff and a tight skirt that clung to her hips. Meanwhile, the rest of her legs were encased in tights so sheer they practically looked translucent.

Dani couldn’t keep her eyes off her. As she snapped photo after photo of her enchanting girlfriend, she couldn’t imagine Carly looking hoter. And when she changed into something a little more modest and covering, she audibly groaned.

“Sorry,” Carly said, winking at her girlfriend, “but a little authenticity is the ticket too.”

With that being said, Carly definitely wouldn’t be taking any jobs at a hospital dressed that. Sure, it covered more than the stripper outfit she’d just worn, but her stomach was still showing, and she’d undone nearly every button on her shirt and was showing just how much cleavage she had stuffed in there.

Drool welled up in Dani’s mouth as she obediently kept taking photographs. Her finger was starting to get sore from how much she was pressing the button!

And then it was time for the bed.

Carly changed into another costume, this one somehow covering up even less of her cleavage than the last one. She took off her gloves and traded out her tights for some lower ones, giving a nice tease of the gap between her skirt and her socks. Sitting down, she rolled up the tight skirt slightly to tease even more, while tightly clenching her legs together to hint at just what might be hiding under that.

Dani already knew; and the temptation of that secret garden made her take photos more fervently than ever.

“I hope I’m not getting you too… overheated,” Carly said huskily, lidding her eyes. “We’ve got a lot more clothes to get through today, Dani… wouldn’t want you to be overwhelmed or anything this early in the day.”

Dani gulped. The promise in Carly’s voice kept her rooted in place, and she shook like a leaf. Nodding obediently, she kept taking pictures, wondering just how many more outfits they even had left in that wardrobe.

In spite of the exciting prospect of what was to come when they were finished and had the room to themselves, Dani couldn’t help but hope that there were still a lot more costumes left to come.
