NOAH Suggest a transformation
(Violet POV)
Violet was surprised to wake up the next morning to what she could only describe as a staggering emptiness. It was only when she saw Nola that she finally understood what was going on.
"Hi Violet, I've decided to start with the big winner of the previous round, who also happens to be my favorite candidate. But don't be fooled, I'm an impartial judge. It's not as if you understand anything about quantum physics," declared Nola.
"Hi Nola, I admit I would have preferred to wake up quietly in my bed but I guess it's not so bad. You sent for me because of our transformation proposals," Violet supposed.
"Exactly, and since you came in first, don't feel too bad about asking for your reward," says the hostess.
"Oh it's easy I know what I'm going to ask, ..."
(Felicity POV)
"So Felicity, what kind of transformation do you have in mind for me?" questioned Nola.
"Not really. I admit the very idea of changing is rather irritating," replied the Amazon.
"You seem to have enjoyed your transformation," remarked the Leprechaun.
"I can't deny it. This feeling of strength and power is really intoxicating, but in the end it's just brute ****. It's not what I'm looking for" replied Felicity.
"Oh, and what are you looking for?" asked the hostess.
"I want adrenaline, action, danger. I want to go through the flames to save the widow and the orphan. That's not something you can fake. It's the very essence of adventure," explained the firefighter.
"Okay I think I understand what you want. I can arrange that. Next!" concluded Nola
(Lisa POV)
"I have a proposal for my transformation. But I don't know if you'll accept it," announced the dryad.
"Oh interesting. You came in 3rd, so as long as there's a slight par sexy in the transformation I don't see why I'd turn it down," replied the hostess.
"Oh, don't worry, there's a erotic side to it - that's the whole point of this show, isn't it? We've got to look sexy and have sex with the Master so we can save the people we love. The problem with that is that there's no way for us to earn points if the Master isn't cooperative. So my proposal is simple. In order to earn as many points as possible, and therefore save as many people as possible, I'd like to **** the Master to have sex with me," announced the nurse.
"I thought you were a feminist opposed to the idea of **** and attached to sovereignty over one's own body," commented the hostess.
"For the greater good, I'm ready to make this sacrifice. In a situation like this, hesitation and half-measures can be fatal. If the Master doesn't have the balls to do what's necessary, then I'll take care of it," said Lisa.
"I imagine you're aware that this kind of action could have undesirable effects on your relationship with the Master," says Nola.
"What I'm doing is necessary. Eventually, they'll understand and agree with me," continues the dryad.
"If you're sure of yourself, then let's move on. Next" says the hostess
(Tammy POV)
"You really don't have a clue, do you?" exclaimed Nola.
"No not really, I don't really understand what I'm doing here. Oh, I'm glad I escaped the apocalypse, but I don't understand why you chose me," said Tammy.
"It's important to have diversity in a harem and clearly Arthur didn't help me with that. Do you know how many women he's talked to in his life? The number is so ridiculously low that reaching a dozen was complicated and I couldn't seriously stop at 11. Then you denigrate yourself way too much, you bring a lot to this harem. You're a pretty normal girl who likes fashion and make-up," says Nola.
"I'm not a shallow girl!" exclaimed Tammy.
"Sure, but you've got the features, then you're sexy and even the Master has had a few naughty thoughts about you. You're young and you come from a very wealthy family but you're not an heiress unlike Elizabeth. Is that reason enough for you?" asked the hostess.
"But I don't know Mr Newland, he was just an employee of my father's I met a few times during my internship." complained the kitsune.
"Oh, you were more than just an employee, weren't you?" remarked the Leprechaun.
"Okay I admit it, I was in charge of spying on the employees to get rid of the slackers who'd rather talk than work." confessed Tammy.
"Surely if someone isn't bringing in money that's a reason to fire them." commented Nola simply.
"Oh don't lecture me. The only way to get rich is to exploit others. It's always been that way," said Tammy, repeating what her father had taught her.
"I see, I see, and how do you intend to exploit the others here?" questioned Nola.
Tammy hesitated. There were no witnesses, but her father had always advised her to avoid revealing her plans. On the other hand, she had to come up with ideas. Pretending to know nothing about it wouldn't work indefinitely. She decided to drop the mask; there was no point lying to someone who expected you to lie to them.
"The center of this show is the Master, but with 12 members, it'll be hard to get anything out of him. He must have very little regard for me and no affection," began Tammy.
"That can be arranged with a transformation or two," remarked Nola.
"Probably, but that's more of a long-term goal anyway. No, we need to start more simply by making ourselves indispensable. We're building a society, a nation. Every nation needs a bank. I want to be in charge of the national bank of this world," asked Tammy.
"Okay, that's fine with me. Simple question, do you know anything about banking systems?" questioned Nola.
(Jeanne POV)
"Let's keep this short and sweet. I don't want to spend any more time with you than I have to," said Jeanne.
"Oh, how vexing. I thought we could have tea. Are you sure you don't want a cup?" exclaimed Nola.
"I wish that the vote for each of my future transformations would no longer be decided by the audience but by Arthur or, in a pinch, by the other members of the harem," said the catgirl, completely ignoring the Leprechaun's previous question.
"Well, at least it was quick. Next." said Nola
(Iris POV)
"Good morning Nola, did you sleep well?" asked Iris, seeming to take the Leprechaun by surprise.
"Hi Iris, I don't sleep. I wasn't conceived with this need in mind when I was created," replied the hostess, who didn't seem to be annoyed by the question.
"Oh, that's a shame, you should try it sometime, it feels so good," declared Iris.
"Maybe I'll give it a try after this show, if I can bring it to a close. But in the meantime, have you come up with an idea for your transformation?" asked Nola. Iris stopped smiling for a moment.
"Oh what's the matter? Are you afraid of a little transformation?" asked Nola.
"No, it's not that. I just wonder if he'll forgive me for what I'm about to ask." the bunnygirl wondered.
"Why? What's on your mind?" asked the impatient Leprechaun.
"I wish he'd stop seeing me as his little sister. Given the nature of this show, it will only do more harm than good to remain his little sister." said Iris with a tear welling up in her eyes.
"You know, the **** side of little sisterhood tends to turn a lot of men on, but it's up to you. Next" announced Nola
(Lily POV)
"I just wanted to thank you again for letting me keep Oogway. It really helps keep me calm", the cowgirl thanked.
"It's nothing, I just hope the transformation you're about to offer me doesn't involve a turtle," replied Nola.
"No, no. I love Oogway but I'm not too worried about him. I'm worried about Susan, though," announced the teacher.
"I understand and indeed your daughter has a propensity to look for trouble in this show." replied Nola
"I know. I can see that. She's always been difficult to bring up, but she's capable of being so brilliant. I remember when we left her in front of the television as a child to spend some time with her father. When we came back, she had dismantled the television. I remember screaming at the time. Her father burst out laughing. It was a good moment.
Sadly, she closed in on herself in her later years. Puberty shattered the relationship of trust we had, and I don't know how to re-establish it. The more I think about it, the more I realize that she must be lonely inside. She doesn't have any friends, or at least none she's ever mentioned. I'm glad I'm here with her at least for this point.
She'll have **** but to form a real relationship, and she won't be able to hide behind her phone or her computer," says Lily.
"Yes, teenagers can be complicated and quite addicted to screens. But can you try to help me more because I'm not sure what you really want for your transformation?" asked Nola.
"I want to be able to keep my daughter out of trouble, that would be good enough," declared the teacher.
"Noted. Next!" said Nola
(Sophia POV)
"It annoys me to ask you this but please get rid of his wings and that tail. It's just a hell of a thing to sleep with," begged the prosecutor.
"Oh, I see, but alas, I can't simply cancel a previous transformation - that would go against the whole premise of this show." replied the hostess, not surprising the dragongirl.
"I expected that, but on the other hand, it must be possible to modify a transformation, right?" asked Sophia.
"Indeed, what do you have in mind?" replied the Leprechaun.
"Would it be possible to make them retractable? It would probably be more practical if I were to have sex with Arthur, wouldn't it?" says the Master's ex.
"Excellent! I was sure you'd be able to be creative. Okay, we can go with that. Next." says Nola
(Victoria POV)
“Hi Victoria, how are you doing? Not too hard to adjust? I know most people on this show tend to hate the first few days or weeks." asked Nola.
"You know, Nola. You talk too much," replied the doggirl.
"What? But I do what I can to make an effort. I don't talk too much. I'm just trying to express all my thoughts in your ridiculous language. How do you manage to express yourself properly with so few words? Plus I have to make sure I'm understood by you, the audience and the producers. It's difficult, and in the end people complain that I speak too much, but I wonder if it's not them who don't speak enough," exclaimed Nola, almost in tears, earning a sigh from Victoria.
"Nola. Try to keep it simple with me. It doesn't matter if it's wrong or inaccurate, what matters is staying motivated in your goals. If you try to make complicated plans to please everyone, you're bound to end up disappointing. You're more competent than you think - the trick is not to overwork yourself to the point of accident. Rest and calm are also part of performance", says the athlete.
"Do you really think so?" replied the hostess.
"Of course. You know, I keep it simple. I say what I think and I do what I say," replied the blond girl.
"Thank you, Victoria. I needed to hear that but, enough wasted time, the show must go on. What kind of transformation proposal do you have for me?" asked the host, regaining her composure.
"Eli explained to me that I should marry this man, Arthur. I trust my sister completely, and if she says so, it must be true," Victoria began.
"But?" "But let's say I wanted to date a man physically stronger than me. Now I just feel like I'm going to break him in half as soon as I touch him," finished the doggirl.
"Okay, that's fine with me. Next." declared Nola
(Elizabeth POV)
"So Elizabeth, do you have an idea for me or am I going to have to be creative?" asked Nola, as threatening as a kitten.
"I have an idea, but I don't know if it's desirable or even possible," replied the elf, lacking his usual assurance. The subject was personal. Sensitive.
"You'll hardly get the answers to your questions if you don't ask them," replied the hostess.
"I'd like to know if it's possible to bring the dead back to life," she confessed.
"Interesting. I imagine you have a very special person in mind," remarked the Leprechaun.
"My mother."
"Oh the little girl hasn't recovered from her mommy's ****. Oh, how sad. I've got good news for you. **** and life are superficial concepts in this show, so it's possible to bring back your mommy and whoever you want, but you've got to know there'll be a price to pay." announced Nola.
"I imagine it will cost more in BP," replied Elizabeth.
"Oh, but that would be boring. No, no, I thought I'd add a little eroticism to the transformation after all, you didn't make the cut," announced Nola.
Elizabeth reconsidered Arthur's advice and decided to accept. They could get what she wanted. All she had to do was give up a little modesty and modesty; it couldn't be that difficult.
"Ok that's fine with me."
"Perfect. Oh next!"
(Susan POV)
Susan really hated being teleported against her will. She really didn't understand how they did it and it annoyed her. Teleportation was supposed to be extremely complicated, at least on a theoretical level. There was some information exchanged between electrons instantaneously, but it was really derisory. That's why she couldn't help asking the question.
"How do you do that?"
"Magic" replied the Leprechaun, further irritating the student.
"That's not an answer. Science has laws. They may be wrong and incomplete, but I refuse to accept that there is a **** that allows you to do what you want without any other form of limitation. So, can you answer my question?" asked the vampire.
"I can, but do you really want this as a transformation?" asked Nola.
Susan hesitated but finally replied, "No. You're going to lie or cheat anyway. You're going to lie or cheat anyway, it's not worth it. I'll find the answer on my own. Science is truth. At least it doesn't betray you."
"So what do you want?" asked the hostess.
"I wish to receive a laboratory, a workshop with all the equipment I might need to be able to do my experiments without being disturbed," declared Susan.
"Ok that's fine with me I can easily see how to twist this request. Next" replied Nola
"What?" exclaimed Susan.
(Kelly POV)
"It doesn't look good, does it?" asked Kelly.
"Oh, don't take it like that. Okay, you came in last. Okay, your transformation will have to be the most severe. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it," replied Nola.
"Ok I see but I confess I have no idea. Can you give me some advice?" asked the demoness.
"Really? Are you really asking me for advice?" asked the Leprechaun.
"Yes. Of course," Kelly replied as if it were obvious.
"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you. You and Violet are so great. I love you guys. We're going to build you a custom transformation. You'll love it." declared the overexcited Leprechaun.
"Uh, you're welcome." said Kelly, not sure she'd made the right choice.
"So let's start at the beginning. Do you want bigger boobs?" asked the hostess.
"What?!!" gasped Kelly, thinking she'd heard wrong.
"Do you want a fuller bust? It's a simple question. You know I can't help you if you don't cooperate," Nola commented.
"No, no it's okay I'll cooperate. I was just surprised. You know, transformations are still new to me, and the idea of changing my body further doesn't really appeal to me at the moment", replied the artist.
"Ok so no changes to your body I understand. I guess the mental changes will also be no. That still leaves us with a lot. I know it does. Do you like having orgasms?" asked the Leprechaun suddenly.
"Uh yes of course who doesn't like to have an orgasm?" replied Kelly awkwardly.
"Great, now all we have to do is find the trigger," said the hostess.
"What do you mean by trigger?" asked the demoness.
"Oh it could be anything. For example, getting spanked or seeing someone get spanked could trigger an orgasm for you," Nola explained.
"I see. May I have a few moments to think about it?" she asked. Nola granted her immediately.
What was she supposed to do? The idea of automatic orgasm under certain conditions could be tempting. It could save her so much time when she wanted to please herself. But couldn't she aim for something better? Masturbation could quickly become of little use. How was she to manage the other participants? Navigating a harem wasn't exactly a well-documented skill. From what she remembered of history books and TV series, you had to know how to juggle intrigues and shenanigans without ever revealing your true intentions. All the subtlety lay in the art of discerning the truth. But yes, she'd found it. She shared her idea with Nola, who readily agreed.
(Arthur POV)
"Hi Arthur, it's your turn now, I hope you've got some proposals for our 12 ladies, otherwise it's going to be a long one," said Nola as Arthur opened his eyes.
"You could have waited until we'd had our breakfasts," Arthur replied, trying to get his thoughts back in order.
"Are you hungry? Oh, how silly of me. Here's something to fill you up," replied the hostess, conjuring up a gourmet set worthy of Buckingham palace.
Arthur sighed at this but decided to gulp down an orange juice before continuing the discussion. It was going to be hard enough not to **** himself to do it on an empty stomach.
"Thank you, Nola, but I'm sorry to tell you this, but I haven't been able to come up with ideas for all the contestants," declared Arthur, not wanting to refer to the contestants as members of his harem.
"I figured as much. I saw how difficult it was for the others to offer me just 1 transformation, so I imagine it's going to be difficult for you. Is it okay if I give you some names and we talk until you give me an idea?" questioned the Leprechaun.
"Okay, that's fine with me," replied the Master quickly.
"Okay let's just get started. Do you have an idea for Violet?" asked the hostess.
"I've known Violet for years and had lunch with her countless times. She used to talk to me about her manga and anime at mealtimes. I think she'd miss it if she could no longer get that pleasure," explained Arthur.
"Ok manga and anime I get it. Don't worry, I'll take care of her in that respect. Let's get on with Lisa. I'd prefer it if we tackled the complicated part quickly," said the hostess, and Arthur could hardly contradict her on this point. Lisa was complicated.
"I have a hard time with Lisa. She's an admirable person with convictions and values. That's rare enough to point out. But it's these very convictions that make her so hard to bear and end up earning the enmity of the people around her. She's so stubborn that I'm afraid she'll never forgive me for refusing to sleep with her," says Arthur.
"There's a way to remedy that, you know," Nola reminded her.
"Which one? Wait, you're proposing to transform her so that she'll forgive me, isn't that a bit too simple?" asked the surprised Master.
"Yes, that suits me perfectly as a transformation. Moving on to Kelly, do you have any ideas for punishment?" asked Nola.
"Wait a minute I didn't say it was good for Lisa and what's this about punishment for Kelly?" he asked.
"Kelly came last in the competition, so it's only logical that she should receive a little punishment, isn't it? She understood that very well and offered me an excellent transformation" replied the hostess.
"Did she really do that? That's surprising. I admit I don't really know her, so I can't really determine her character," Arthur conceded.
"So do you have any ideas?" asked Nola.
"Kelly was already one of the people I had the least idea about and now I have to find a punishment, it's rather complicated" replied Arthur, trying to gain time to find a solution to this problem.
"I'll help you a little. Offer me a clothing restriction and I'm very likely to accept it." says Nola
A clothing restriction? Surely that would be more acceptable than a physical or mental transformation. Then there was the matter of finding a garment acceptable to both Nola and Kelly. For Nola, it was simple: any outfit worthy of a fetish was acceptable. So we could think of nurse, librarian, secretary, maid, magical girl and so on.
The possibilities were truly immense. Now what could Kelly like, or at least accept? Oh, how hard it was to answer that question. Kelly was an artist, but that didn't give him much more idea than that. What did he know about Kelly? Violet's sister, art student, intelligent, demoness, really pretty, ...
No, it wasn't the time to think about that. Although, maybe it was exactly the time to think about that. He couldn't know what Kelly liked, and trying to guess was probably futile. So he might as well try to please himself. He closed his eyes and finally came up with an answer.
"Nola, is it okay if Kelly has to wear a harem outfit? After all, it's rather appropriate for this show," offered Arthur.
"What a great idea, Arthur! I was just thinking of forbidding her to wear a bra. No, your idea is much better and much more ambitious. Let's go with that. Honestly, keep it up and it'll be great!" congratulated the hostess. Arthur couldn't help feeling he'd been ripped off.
"Let's move on if you don't mind, do you have any ideas for Lily?"
"Lily was probably my favorite teacher. She helped each of her students like her own children, with patience and kindness. I know this show is hard for her to live with and I fear it will change her. I'd like her to keep her values no matter what," said Arthur.
"It's a bit vague, but I should be able to do something with it. I hope you've got something better for Susan," declared the Leprechaun.
"Susan, ... Susan, ... How can I say this without being mean? Susan is a pest. A spoiled brat who has no respect for anyone. She's the epitome of why her generation is despised. She's individualistic and self-centered. If I didn't know her mother, I'd think she was American. She's just insufferable. She thinks she's great, but she needs a reality check. How did such a great mother turn her into this? I don't know how you want to interpret it, but I'd like her to be a bit more like her mother," said Arthur.
"I wasn't expecting this but it's good for me. It'll be fun to teach that nag a lesson. In the youth category, we can continue with Tammy. What do you think of the youngest of the group?" asked Nola.
"My impression is better than Susan's but I don't really know her. She seems rather superficial and probably lacks experience. That's normal, after all, she's not even 20, but it's tiring to deal with on a daily basis. Frankly, I should have set an age limit when negotiating the contract", he says.
"Oh you're not going to tell me you don't think she's sexy, especially now that she has a bushy, silky tail." retorted Nola.
"That's not it Nola. I don't limit myself to a pretty face and a sexy body. I like to be able to have deep conversations with people and here, given the age difference, I'm going to find it hard to have any conversations at all." declared Arthur.
"So you prefer the milf to the youngster?" asked the hostess.
"Yes... No! Don't you dare turn Tammy into Milf. Do I make myself clear?" snapped Arthur.
"Crystal”
"Well now that's said, I think Tammy could use a little more experience of the working world a little more. Would it be possible to get her to experience a few jobs quickly so that she can open up her vision of the world? I think she's a good person deep down, but she hasn't had all the experience she needs yet" proposed Arthur.
"That suits me fine, let's continue then with your sister's case. Do you have any ideas? Or are you going to tell me you refuse to choose?" asked the Leprechaun.
Iris. Her little sister. Her adopted little sister. Would Nola have sent for her if Iris were her biological sister? Silly question, of course she would. Biology seemed to have little importance here anyway.
"It's complicated for me to imagine a transformation for my little sister. Iris is already perfect as she is. Can you imagine how I felt when she came and asked to sleep with me because she'd had another nightmare? She's a real ray of sunshine. And after what she's been through, I refuse to make her suffer any more. I'd rather see the world burn," said Arthur.
"Why do you always have to see transformations as moments of suffering? It's a change. It can be positive, negative or neutral. It often depends on your point of view. And if you want her to be happy all the time, that can easily be arranged, you know." offered Nola.
"No, artificial happiness isn't really happiness. And the idea of living with it is unbearable. No, really, I can't do that," he replied.
"you're going to have to make me an offer," replied Nola.
Yes indeed, but what could he offer? Iris had repeatedly expressed her confidence in him. He couldn't disappoint her.
"I don't know," he sighed, "I'd still like my adorable little sister to run around the house with her stuffed rabbit. The last thing I want is for her to turn into a sex animal. It may be silly, but I'd like her never to grow up. I know it's futile and change is inevitable, but I can't imagine it any other way," says Arthur.
"You know you could have asked her opinion. I accept that answer. I'd find a way to do something with it. It's always complicated for the Master to change his relationships with people he's close to. Speaking of being close, do you have any ideas for your ex?" questioned the hostess.
Arthur wasted no time, as he was quite satisfied with the idea he'd come up with regarding Sophia.
"I hope she gains the memories of what would have happened if we hadn't broken up."
"Oh interesting, I see what you're after. I don't know if it will pay off. If not, I hope you also have an idea for Jeanne" commented the Leprechaun.
"Jeanne is a fairly simple person. Oh, that's not to say she's stupid, far from it. She's had one passion for as long as I've known her. She's in love with the ocean. Quite frankly, if you'd turned her into a mermaid, it would probably have made more sense. That's why I thank you for sending her to a beach for the test. Even if she'll never admit it, I'm sure she appreciated seeing the sea again. Quite frankly, if she could spend her life on a boat, she'd probably be delighted," Arthur began to explain.
"I don't see what you're getting at. If you want me to turn her into a mermaid, I'll have to refuse." commented Nola
"Not far from this idea, I readily admit that I appreciate her catgirl appearance. No, I tried to broaden my search because I couldn't see what to suggest. I remembered a movie Iris and I used to watch when we were young, Pirates of the Caribbean. I want to offer Jeanne Jack Sparrow's compass, which shows her the direction of what she desires. Desire has to be part of the show," concludes Arthur.
"Indeed, desire is this show's area of expertise. I approve this proposal. Let's move on to Felicity's case," said the satisfied Leprechaun.
"Felicity's case is pretty straightforward too, I only know of one thing Felicity complains about. She hates all the verbal and physical **** directed at the LGBT community. She has suffered too much of it and I wish to spare her that here. I don't know if anyone here has that kind of prejudice, but when more people arrive, it's bound to be the case," he explained.
"Ok I'll see what I can do but you've made it clear that free will is an important concept to you so I couldn't be too restrictive." clarified the hostess.
"Do the best you can, please?" asked Arthur.
"That goes without saying. Now all we have to do is deal with the Miller sisters," announced Nola.
"Elizabeth and Victoria. Frankly, you have to wonder if the old man didn't have a crush on the Queen of England. Let's start with the simplest case. Elizabeth told me how sad her sister was not to be able to take part in the Olympics. So I propose as a transformation for Victoria, she'll be in charge of organizing the first Harem Hotel Olympics. What do you think? I think it would be a great spectacle for the audience, wouldn't you?" proposed Arthur, rather proud of his idea.
"Great, I approve. Why do I even bother thinking about transformations? All I have to do is ask, and I get some great ones." exclaimed Nola enthusiastically.
"Then for Elizabeth, she's sought her whole life to be free of her father and now she finds herself imprisoned in a harem, I'm afraid she'll end up resenting me. I don't want her to think I'm depriving her of her freedom." continued Arthur.
"Ok that's fine with me I'll be able to prepare the transformations." replied Nola without letting him finish.
"Wait, Nola, I haven't finished yet," Arthur hastily added, to no avail.
"Thanks again for your help and let's meet up with the others for the audience vote on the transformations." concluded Nola without listening to Arthur's protests.
