The first night

“And cut!” Chrissi announced as she took a big sigh of relief and exhaustion at everything she had managed to accomplish so far. There was precious little left for her to do today.

“All. Right. Ladies. Susie will be passing by, giving you your room keycards, your special phones and your complementary Harem Hotel holsters for you to keep them in. If, by any chance, you don’t know how to use any of those, knowledge will be rightly available for you once you need it.” The host explained, as quickly and efficiently as she could, so she could finally get out of here. “Your keycards will give you access to your rooms, so obviously don’t lose them. Your phones will give you access to information about the show and the hotel, to chat rooms and group chats, as well as some online shops, but our market has a lot to offer as well. Susie will now guide you to your rooms, Lin, you’re with me.”

As the redhead skated around the women and gave them the items, Chrissi turned to the elevating platform that brought them all here and raised her hand, raising the platform above ground level and revealing a set of elevator double doors that opened as soon as they were completely visible. As the girls went inside the elevator, the host finished her speech:

“We will give you 24 hours to settle yourselves in and enjoy the many amenities of our hotel. Tomorrow night, at 9 PM Space Station Time, you will all be summoned to the station’s entertainment arena. I expect to see you all there on time and, if you don’t know where it is, your phone will provide directions for you. Until then, and have a good night.” And the double doors closed in front of the seven women.

The elevator then opened again, waiting patiently for the room’s last two occupants to board it. Chrissi motioned for Lin to get inside.

“So, how are you liking your harem and the show so far?” The door closed behind them as he noticed this elevator had transparent glass walls.

“I have watched a couple seasons of this show before and I know how most of the masters start.” Lin said, bundling up in his thick coat and suddenly noticing how **** he was underneath. “I could give you the same spiel: I am horrified that I am the reason these women are being **** to even be here, I didn’t even know it was possible to get some of them here (even though I’ve been watching the show for a while, this one is on me), I am conflicted about the position of power I hold over them, but am secretly turned on by some of the things presented today and at least a bit enticed by the prospect of that powerful position, though morally compelled to step away from it and deny my noticeable and involuntary horniness at the end of the day.” Chrissi nodded along as he said all this. “It is all true. All that I said. I just don’t like to waste time going around the obvious or to be a cliché.”

She nodded along once more and ran a fingernail along her lips as she mused, “My, my, where is that shy little boy I met earlier tonight?”

Lin’s immediate reaction was to turn his back to her and blush. He might have done more about it, but just as he faced the wall, the bland metal structures on the outside of the glass gave way to an expanding view. After the first few moments of facing simple metallic walls, the elevator tunnel opened up to a transparent tube that ran over multiple of the space station’s floors. As he was above all of them, Lin could see the multitudes of people going about their night in the recreational district, the innumerable crowds going up and down escalators with arms full of bags in the shopping district, the many people enjoying themselves on the many courts and pools of the sports area. And those were only the upper most floors, there many below that he couldn’t identify.

The elevator stopped shortly after, the doors opening behind him. Chrissi led him through a short hallway with one of its walls made of glass, to allow the continuation of the view provided by the elevator ride. The hall ended shortly after the elevator exit and had only a single door on it. The host gestured for Lin to open it, as she began to explain:

“This is the Master’s suite, you can…”

“Let me guess, other people must have my permission to go in at all times.” Lin interrupted her. “And the elevator ride here can’t even be accessed without my permission too?”

“Well no, because that would kind of stupid. How would the cleaning crew enter every morning? Would you wait for them out front just to give them permission?” She answered smugly. Lin just looked embarrassed. “No, they’ll be able to come in and out, mostly when you are away. Those permissions will work for the contestants though and, if it makes you feel any better, I promise to always knock.”

“Gee, thanks for the vote of privacy.”

“Always happy to serve.” She sarcastically answered.

He opened the door to the room and was immediately greeted by a small set of steps on the foyer that lead down a central pit area. The steps seemed to float in mid air, and them and the ground on the pit lit up in white as the pair made their way into the room. The pit itself served as a living room, with a couple comfy recliner chairs, a flat screen TV and a console adorned with a collection of as many games, movies and series as he could think of. On the other three sides of the pit, floating stairs climbed up to other three doors as well.

“This is your living room area. Pretty comfy as you can see. Those CD cases are technically real, but mostly for show, as you will be able to find much more on our digital library. Some of our older viewers find them aesthetically pleasing though. Gotta appeal to all those demographics.” Chrissi gestured over them as she passed by. Lin noticed some Harem Hotel collector’s edition cases mixed in with the stuff he knew from back home. The host went up the other flights of stairs, which lighted up as they climbed too. To the right there was a dining room and a kitchen, both decorated with silver and golden details, and the former having fancy velvet-lined silver chairs and a light up floor as well. The left door led to a small library, stocked full of books (over half of which were erotic in nature), with a warm fireplace and a couple comfy chairs as well.

To the opposite side of the entrance was the bedroom proper. It had a queen size bed, but the most impressive thing was the side walls. The back wall had the nightstands and the bathroom door, but the side ones showed the incredible vastness of the space outside. Lin could even see some of the solar system planets over in the distance. Noticing his captivated gaze, Chrissi explained:

“These walls are actually pretty customizable. Now they are showing the images from outside, but you could program them to show any landscape, real or otherwise.” She quickly ran some images of deserts and forests, some looking real enough, one having the temple of Arh’kbhan and another having the City of Brass in the background, so he knew they weren’t real. Lin just threw himself at the gigantic bed, took off his glasses and closed his eyes.

“Another last bit of detail is that you can customize the look of the space station and its inhabitants from here. Right now it looks like a generic station, with only humans as crew and guests, wearing generic space clothes like those seen on Star Trek.”

The best answer she could get after that was a murmur, only loud enough to be heard in the silent room, “Uhum.”

Chrissi let a tired sigh escape her lips.

“Look, I know you’re not happy to be here, same as all the girls. But you are uniquely qualified in this situation to know what can happen to those who don’t play the game. You’ve seen it before, I don’t have to show you or threaten you. So, as unhappy as you are, can I count on you to at least let me run this show?”

“As cliché as this might sound, I am playing this game for them.” Lin **** himself to sit back on the bed. He then looked back at her with a serious face. “I will help those girls survive the trappings of this place, but I will also game the system as many times as I can find loopholes in your rules, as many times as the girls need me to.”

“Oh, by all means, use your loopholes, bend the rules to your favor!” He was surprised at such an eager encouragement from the host herself. “As long as you or the girls don’t ruin this show, we’re golden.” She crossed her arms and offered him a conspiratorial smile. “After all, don’t forget that I was in a place similar to theirs once. I know exactly what kind of power bending the rules can give you.” Then a dark look crossed her face and a somber tone affected her voice. “I also know firsthand how badly this game can screw you over when it wants to, and I _will _screw others over before I let it happen to me again. I want to make this last point very clear.”

“Cristal.” Lin was about to lie back in bed when a thought crossed his mind. “Oh yeah… how _did _you go from assistant to host in a completely different show?”

She gave him a quick smile and a wink, “That will stay my little secret.”

“That’s more than fair.” He collapsed back into the bed.

Chrissi left the room without another word, as the lights turned themselves off on her way out.

The double doors opened to reveal a common area. The girls exited the elevator into a sizable room with a bunch of couches spread around it. There were also mini fridges with a variety of beverages near some of the couches, as well as a jukebox playing some relaxing techno music in the corner. The opposite wall to the elevator doors offered a similar view to the elevator ride, the multiple floors and places to visit on the space station, seemingly always open and busy. There was also a trio of doors on the side walls.

After exploring the central area for a bit, the girls spread out to try and find which door led to their respective rooms. As they did so, Susie took the opportunity to reiterate Chrissi’s last announcement:

“Okay everyone, you will have most of the day tomorrow for yourselves, you can stay here, or you can explore the hotel, it is all up to you. Just don’t forget to be ready by 9 PM and in the arena, that’s where the first challenge will take place. That’s it you guys, have a good night!” She waved at the girls and rolled backwards into the elevator while its doors closed. As she went down the floors, Susie got a text on her phone. Weird, why does the boss want to see me this late in the night? Oh well, better go to her room and check.

As Sunny approached one of the doors, Ariadne came up right behind her, leaned against the wall and, trying to look cool, asked:

“Heyyy Sunny, what’s your secret?”

“What?” The brunette asked apprehensively. She had known Ariadne for just about an hour now, but that tone already didn’t sound like something good. She couldn’t open the first door and quickly shuffled to another one. Ariadne followed her.

“You know, you’re in first place, Chrissi seems to like you, Lin seems to _like _like you. So, you know, what’s the secret?”

“Oh, I don’t know? I’m just being myself.” Her fingers trembled on their way to find the reader on the door as she hastily tried to think of something to say to the woman. “Honestly, the time I got my first transformation and hid inside my coat, I thought it would be the **** of me.” She fumbled with her keycard, why is opening a door so hard?

“Yeah, you looked mortified.” The rogue hastily added. “What about your powers though? I can’t feel them as clearly as some of the others, what are they about?”

“Well, uhm, do you mind if we talk about this another time?” Her hands were sweaty and she dropped her card on the floor. Shit!

“C’mon, please tell me. As a favor?” Ariadne was leaning closer than ever now, Sunny could feel the eagerness on her breath, which just made her own quicken even more.

“I believe the lady said she would tell you later.” Bianca was standing behind them, with her arms crossed. Even in a pink bubbly dress, her tone still managed to be intimidating and her gaze petrifying. “So she will tell you later.” The cop extended her arm, without breaking eye contact with the rogue, and unlocked the door. Sunny bolted inside and Bianca went around Ariande, still staring at her, and closed the door with the Arab woman standing on the outside.

“I’m so sorry you had to get involved with this. I don’t even know if this is my room, I’ll get out in a minute or two.” Sunny apologized profusely as soon as Bianca closed the door.

“It’s no problem, really. And Harley and Valleyr were already in the last room, so this one is yours too, don’t worry.” The black woman said in a calming tone. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I _really _need a shower.”

Sunny watched the woman undress until she closed the bathroom door, then the nerd finally looked back to their shared room. The entrance led into a small cozy area with a TV and their beds, both were couples beds. How convenient, the girl thought. There was a walk-in closet and, in the back, there was a door for the bathroom.

The small girl just collapsed on the bed and closed her eyes without another thought. Lopsided glasses and all, she just hid her entire self under the blankets and drifted off into sleep.

“Where are you going?” Valleyr asked Harley. The elf was sprawled in bed, wearing nothing but an oversized fabric shirt. She was all ready to tuck in for the night as the anti-heroine came out of the closet freshly bathed and wearing a new (but totally identical) uniform.

“There’s a couple things I wanna do before we do God knows what tomorrow night.”

“Why now?” The elf slurred out the question. “If I were you, I’d want to rest after all that happened today for sure. Like this.” And she buried her face on her pillow.

“Ya know what? There might be wisdom to your words, Pointy.”

“Don’t call me Pointy.” Valley was muffled by the pillow.

But she is right though, The clown princess of crime thought to herself as she changed again, this time into comfortable pajamas. She would have plenty of time tomorrow to execute her plan.

“Nothing like taking your armor off at the end of a long day, eh?” Hyppolita winked at Ariadne. The younger woman simply offered a polite smile. “Some people in our group wouldn’t get it, but I know you know what I’m talking about.” The half-angel finished, preparing to doff her heavy plate right there at the room’s entrance. And then, she noticed she wasn’t wearing her armor anymore, but a revealing bikini. Miffed, the redhead still moved to take it off and put on a more comfortable sleepwear.

Ariadne made her way to one of the beds and began taking off her boots and leather armor as well. She couldn't help but agree with the warrior woman. Even if she didn’t feel like talking much at the moment, she still had a smile up. The rogue was getting ready to go get some more comfortable clothing, when she tripped up on her own boots, her belt fell off its last notches, her pants that were loosened already fell all the way down, and the rogue fell face first into the metallic floor with her now naked ass pointing up.

A frustrated scream escaped the woman’s lips. A half dressed Hyppolita went over to help, but the younger girl just pushed her away and kicked her pants off.

“The fuck do you want?! You got off easy, you may not be able to use weapons anymore, but you still have your magic. I’m just stuck in disaster mode all the time now. Fuck!”

Hyppolita took a deep breath. She had dealt with stressful situations like this before, experience came with those difficulties, but it just never got that much easier.

“This place is shit, I get it. You were dealt a very bad hand, I get that too. And you may even need to let out some of that frustration, just be careful to not do it to any of the other girls, they don’t deserve this, just like you don’t either.” The redhead said in a calming tone that she hoped would feel reassuring.

“You damn right I don’t too!” Ariadne pretty much screamed as she sat half naked on the bed, seemingly unaware of what she was flashing to her roommate. “The audience voted me last just because I was a bit confrontational and now I’m stuck with this… shit!” She gestured to herself to emphasize the last part and noticed her undressed state. She took one of the pillows in the bed and slammed it over her thighs, anger outweighing her sense of shame at the moment.

The girl did not have it easy, that was certain.

“Look, you’re last, that is a fact for now, but you strike me as a person who can get the most out of nothing, who can see the value in pretty much anything, and I think you know that too. You can’t beat yourself up about something out of your control, so let’s just take a few breaths and calm down.” Hyppolita managed to calm the girl’s emotions and get her in a more stable state with the use of her magic, which thankfully the Arab girl didn’t seem to notice. After taking a couple deep breaths with the girl, the cleric continued. “Another reason for your last placement, like Chrissi said, could be simply because you didn’t have a transformation set yet. Now this fact is no longer true and you can start improving from there, even if this transformation really is shit.” She allowed herself a small smirk, but the rogue’s eyes were watering up, if by anger, frustration or sadness, the warrior could not say.

“Look at me.” She said softly and Ariadne did just that. A lot of emotions were swimming in those waters, but when Hyppolita tried to reach for her shoulder to comfort her, the girl recoiled out of instinct. The cleric decided to give her some space for the moment. “I am going to go into that bathroom and I am going to take a very long shower. You do what you need to do while I’m gone with no worries or rush.” Hyppolita made her way to the bathroom’s door frame, then turned around one last time and said to the girl, “See you tomorrow.”

She did indeed take a long shower, taking her time to wash away all the stress and tension of the day. By the time the cleric emerged back into the bedroom, Ariadne was sound asleep under the covers.

Chrissi’s bedroom could certainly be described as spartan. If she heard this description, she would surely agree that it was a complement to the Spartans, but she may miss it wasn’t really a complement to her room. This season’s host had dedicated most of her short preparation time developing the public areas of the space station and the quarters of the Master and contestants, not giving much time or consideration to her own resting area.

If you could see in only three dimensions, there were only four notable things in this simple metallic room: the most noticeable one was a gigantic window, similar to the one in Lin’s room, showing the planet Earth outside, another was a king size bed, and the last two were a metal chair and an empty metal desk. If you could see in a couple more dimensions you’d see the equivalent of closed boxes of belongings strewn around, a couple small pocket dimensions holding the stuff Chrissi hadn’t had the time to unpack yet. And this wasn’t going to be that time either.

The first thing the host did as she entered her room was take off her silver tiara and throw it far away in her bed. The damn thing was starting to weigh on her temple and her thoughts. She collapsed on the chair, feeling her head start to clear for the first time in the day.

She didn’t know for how long her eyes had been closed, but her hand was now already grazing her inner thigh. Shit. The Headband sharpened her mind, but it also helped keep her bimbo needs at bay. This had been a full, busy day and she had neglected those entirely, it wasn’t a surprise when they came at full **** the moment she let her guard down. Without thinking first, she grabbed her phone and texted Susie. It was getting harder to think already and she was going to need _some _help tonight for sure.

The bimbo didn’t have much to do as she waited, so by the time she heard a knock on her door, her hand was already getting started downstairs. Shit, again? She took it away, but still left it on her lap to avoid any moisture or smell to be seen or felt.

“You can come in!” The blonde shouted in her position away from the door. The diminutive assistant rolled in, with her usual smile looking a little tired at the moment.

“Hey boss, what did you wanna talk about this late at night?” She yawned.

“Oh, I wanted to talk about your perform… perfo… like, the stuff you did today.” God, did she want to shove her hand back in her pants. And now she had to, like, think besides fighting these urges?!

“What I did? Did I do something wrong?” The small girl had her hands coiled behind herself again, toying with her dress. God, is she cute!

“No, no, nothing wrong. It was just that… “ Thinking was so hard! “The way you acted when I transformed you. To show the girls, remember?”

“When you put all those transformations in me, yes.” The redhead looked away, reminiscing about the moment. “Was something the matter? Should I have gone even further to scare the girls into place?”

“It’s not that. It was, hum…” She couldn’t take this anymore. “Fuck it! Codeword: banana split!” The blonde pretty much screamed at this point.

If Sunny had been present in the room, she would have probably recognised the look that appeared in Susie’s face, given that she had seen it multiple times in the past few days. The redhead’s face went slack and her eyes lost focus, her smile and uncertainty dissolved into a neutral, distant look.

“IT WAS SO HOT!” Chrissi outright screamed at this point, but the hypnotized Susie simply remained in place. The blonde’s hand was working full time down her dress by now. “You lost complete control and I loved it! I don’t know how I could hold myself back there. And when Sunny jilled herself in front of everyone? Oh, I just knew I needed release as soon as possible. I have to cum right now and you’re gonna help me do it!”

Chrissi was ****, but Susie calmly responded:

“Yes mistress, I will help you cum.”

Chrissi used her free hand to snap away.

“There, I’m giving you back all those transformations at once, except you aren’t turned on by ice cream, it now is… uh… oh yeah! By me and my cum.” Chrissi’s eyes eagerly drank the vision of the redhead’s transforming body.

Susie’s assets once again began to balloon out, but without a **** hand to free them, this time they ripped on her uniform. The redhead just calmly stood there, her uniform in tatters, her boss furiously masturbating in front of her and a look of complete peace on her freckled face.

The blonde sent her chair clanking to the ground as she hastily moved to the bed.

“There’s something missing… First, get out of your dress.”

“Yes mistress.” Susie said as she calmly removed the remains of her cute uniform from her now ridiculously proportioned body.

“Second, a bell to get you going.” The bimbo snapped once more and a necklace with a little bell appeared on the redhead’s neck.

“Thank you mistress. This **** is here to serve, and yet you think of her pleasure.”

“Third, I need to get DICKED down.” The bimbo disregarded her servant’s words as she looked at her outrageous yet glorious transformations. Another snap, and the redhead’s tiny naked bush began to expand. What was once a shy mound of hair, now spotted a 12 inch dick, sprouting right above her pussy. “Now come FUCK me!”

Susie simply pushed the doors behind her and her roller blades, which she hadn’t removed, guided her thick cock straight into the blonde’s wet pussy. Her big dick effortlessly entered into the eager slit and the diminutive woman immediately began to buck her hips to please her mistress.

The moment she was penetrated, Chrissi lost all sense of thought. She had resisted her urges the whole day, so letting go, just to be fucked by a thick dick, felt world shatteringly good. Her bimbo body, made to please cock, was fulfilling its function and it was beyond happy. It made sure to let anyone know by moaning at the top of her lungs as every thrust filled her and brought her closer and closer to orgasm. The first of many, if it and she had anything to say about it.

Susie was happy to hear her mistress’ moans, making her happy and giving her pleasure was the redhead’s main and only purpose in the world right now. But as she bucked her hips and shook the blonde’s body, she heard a bell. The tiny bell on her collar was shaking with all the movement and she was just as much a **** to it as she was to her mistress. The pleasure invaded her body, coursing through her veins like a forbidden reward this **** was lucky to receive. Her unfocused eyes rolled back into her head as she screamed cries of pleasure alongside the blonde.
