You can stand on the edge shouting out that you're ready to change

Sylvia’s cane flashed, and the other two teams suddenly appeared, sprawled out on the sand from where they'd been. Dawn and Gina were still collapsed, and Mary was still desperately covering her chest. When she saw Nick she looked like she was about to cry.

“Mary?” Nick gasped, averting his eyes. “Wh-What-”

“Dakota did it,” Kim spat. “She stole Mary’s top to get ahead of her in the race!”

Dakota shot Kim a piercing glare and Kim winced.

Nick scowled. “We’ll talk about this later.” Right now, thinking about Dakota's actions made him sick. He turned to Sylvia. “Sylvia.”

“…Fiiiiiiiine,” Sylvia rolled her eyes, summoning a spare top for Mary. “If it’ll get us to the fun part sooner…”

Mary grabbed the bikini top and, using a towel for cover, put it back on. She sighed in relief.

“How chivalrous!” A new voice called out.

All the girls turned to the gazebo, shocked. Rose was leaning in the doorway with her arms crossed under her chest. She smirked.

“Who are you?” Holly demanded.

“My name is Rosemary,” she answered, descending the stairs with a wiggle of her hips. She licked her lips as she scanned over the girls. “You may call me Rose.”

Dani turned red and pushed away from Nick. “H-Hello,” she introduced herself to the beautiful woman. “I’m-”

“Danielle, right?” Rose purred, sashaying over to the bluenette and taking her hand. “Or would you prefer Dani?”

“Y-Yes! That’s fine!” Dani gasped. “Dani, I mean. Dani is fine. I mean, it’s fine if you want to call me Dani. I mean-”

“I understand,” Rose tittered.

This new girl seems like trouble, Holly thought, biting her lip.

Why? Because she's hotter than you? The voice in her head asked, making her tense.

“Rose here, as you may have guessed, is your new Auditionee,” Sylvia explained. “I hope you girls all get along well with her. She may be joining you in the harem long-term, after all.”

“It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintances,” Rose said, looking out over the assembled harem, all in various states of composure. Her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

The aphrodisiacs were starting to wear off, and the girls were coming back to their senses. They were a little wary, not sure what to think of the woman. Mary was intimidated by her overt sexuality and Kim was cautious about meeting new people. Only Carly was actively pleasant.

“Nice to meet you!” She chirped. She’d been waiting awkwardly on the sidelines, still cuffed to Dani’s ankle.

“Um, excuse me…”

Holly raised her hand like she was in a classroom.

“What is it?” Sylvia asked, getting annoyed. The challenge was over, and she wanted to get to the fun part.

“Can you unchain us, please?” She gestured to the cuffs around her ankles.

“Oh? You don’t like being chained up to me?” Dakota smirked.

Holly shivered and **** a smile onto her face. “It’s fine! But… my ankle is getting sore.”

“Fine, fine,” Sylvia groaned, tapping her cane in the sand. The cuffs all snapped open and the girls were freed.

“Finally!” Gina said, stretching her legs. “We’re free.”

Mary slumped over, pulling the towel tighter over herself. She knew what was coming.

Sylvia’s lips curled up into a smirk. “Well now my girls… I think you know what the next item on the agenda is, yes?”

Nick scowled. “The transformations.”

“Exactly right!” Sylvia grinned. “…Is what I would like to say. But first, we have some scores to settle my boy.”

She tapped her cane, and a black screen appeared in the air. The names and faces of the girls flashed onto the screen, and Rose’s name had been added to them.

“…We need to tally up your newly obtained Victory Points from this round!”

1st: Carly – 26 VP

2nd: Dani – 25 VP

3rd: Dakota – 19 VP

4th: Rose – 9 VP

5th: Holly – 8 VP

5th: Gina – 8 VP

6th: Kim – 6 VP

6th: Mary – 6 VP

7th: Dawn – 2 VP

Dawn’s heart sank as she saw her score. She had tried so hard, and done the best she could, but she was in last place. How pathetic. I can't believe I'm such a loser.

“Look at those scores! I think it's time for a special announcement,” Sylvia smirked, nodding to Carly and Dani. “Carly? Dani? I would like to extend my personal congratulations to the two of you! Not only did your team win the first challenge, but you’ve reached the quarter mark already! You’re one fourth of the way to victory! Congratulations!”

She gave some fake golf claps to the girls, who glanced at each other uneasily.

“Well… thanks?” Carly smiled perkily.

“And another congratulations to our newest member of the harem, Rose!” Sylvia said, turning to Rose next. “Winning a whopping 9 points on her first day in the competition! Better watch out, girls, she’s making real progress!”

“Wait, but she’s not on the show for good,” Kim noted. “She could get eliminated, right? What would happen to her Victory Points then?”

"What would happen to any of our Victory Points if we're eliminated?" Gina asked curiously.

“That’s when we’d implement the Baton Clause,” Sylvia informed them. “Whichever girl is eliminated each round, her point totals will be passed onto the new Auditionee, who will inherit her score. And not only that, the new Auditionee will get a number of transformations that round equal to the amount the eliminated girl had! It's like she's taking her place. Which brings me to my last point. Rose?”

“Hmm?” Rose perked up.

“You’ll be receiving two transformations this round instead of one. To bring you up to par with your fellow competitors. I hope you don’t mind.”

“…Not at all!” Rose smiled. “If that’s what you think is best!”

Sylvia smirked. She might come to regret that. “Well then… let’s get to it, shall we?”

She tapped her cane, and the screen shifted to reveal Rose’s transformations. They were split into two sections.

“You’ll get one from each of these blocks,” Sylvia explained.

Rose:

First Poll:

And Those Hollywood Nights: To help facilitate progress with the master, Rose has obtained a complete knowledge of all sexual positions, fetishes, foreplay techniques, and even the right way to talk to a man (or woman!) to get them in the mood. (Seductress)

The Best Money Can Buy: Since Rose joined Harem Hotel for the money, it only makes sense that her appearance changes to reflect it. Her body will be transformed to the stereotypical body of a gold digger, with obviously fake boobs, ass implants, face lifts, tummy tucks, nosejobs, and big bimbo lips. (Gold Digger)

All Work and Role Play: As an actress, Rose really knows how to get into a role and play her part. Now that experience will translate to the bedroom! Rose will be able to perfectly attune her sexual nature to any role necessary, whether a sexy nurse, a sexy librarian, a sexy police officer, or a sexy... well, you get the idea. (Actress)

https://strawpoll.com/polls/GPgV6Rovzga

Second Poll:

A Body’s A Body: As the first Auditionee, Rose needs to work hard in order to build up her relationships with the other girls on the show. To facilitate this, the producers decided that she should also be awarded Victory Points for intimate acts that she does with her fellow female contestants, not just the master. (Note: She will not obtain any first-time bonuses with her fellow contestants, only with the master. Points for certain acts will not be worth as much as with the master) (Seductress)

Rental Girlfriend: A gold digger is little more than a glorified prostitute- sex in exchange for money. Well, Rose is getting the sex, so what about the money? From now on, whenever Rose commits a sexual act with the master, she will receive Bonus Points in compensation. (Note: The amount of points received is proportional to the intimacy of the act) (Gold Digger)

Method Acting: A skilled actress needs to be prepared to take on a wide variety of roles. And there are a wide variety of girls in the competition. Every day, Rose may choose a transformation from one of her competitors and temporarily copy that transformation, with all bonuses and penalties that come with it, for a period of 24 hours. (Actress)

https://strawpoll.com/polls/e7ZJG92MYy3

“So what do you think of the selection, hmm?” Sylvia smirked. “You’ve got your pick of choices.”

“So I’ll get one transformation from each of these?” Rose mused. “Well, if I have to say, I’d love to have the one that gives me all the knowledge of sexual positions and fetishes, and the one that lets me copy transformations.”

“Really?” Sylvia asked, surprised. “I thought you would want to have the one that gives you Bonus Points for having sex.”

“Well, the idea is to please the master, right?” Rose grinned, batting her eyelashes at Nick. “And what could be better than letting him have his pick of roles? I could do all sorts of things with cat ears and a tail, or with such a soft body like Dani…”

“Interesting thought,” Sylvia giggled. “I like that you’re so eager! There’s nothing I want more than a gal who wants to play the game and please her master! Now… what do you NOT want? What transformations would you prefer to avoid, my girl?”

Rose thought for a second. Then her eyes landed on Kim, and she grinned.

That girl's the audience favorite, and she said before that she was fine with any transformation. If I want to win over the crowd, then my answer is obvious.

“I’m fine with any of ‘em,” she tittered. “Nothing to worry about there!”

Sylvia smirked. We’ll see about that…

She turned to the other girls.

“Dani’s immune from transformation, since she managed to tag the master."

Dani sighed in relief. She didn't want another transformation on her hands. She was still getting used to her new body, and her dream last night had been chilling.

Sylvia was all smiles. "So let’s move on to Carly next!”

“O-Oh, okay,” Carly nodded, flashing a cheerful smile that was just a tiny bit shaky.

Carly:

Bi the Way: Carly’s always up to trying new things! But her primary sexual interest has always been boys. Now the floodgates are open, and Carly's become capable of feeling sexual attraction to both boys and girls. (Adventurous)

Anime Black: To help suit her cosplaying needs, Carly has gained the ability to alter the length and color of her hair at will, allowing her to try a variety of styles. This has the added effect of making her hair more sensitive, to the point of becoming an erogenous zone. (Content Creator)

PAY ATTENTION TO ME!: Carly NEEDS to be the center of attention. Why are other girls even part of this show, anyway? Harem Hotel? Carly’s the star, not them! From now on, Carly will want to be the center of attention. If someone’s not paying attention to her, she’ll MAKE them pay attention to her. If she thinks another girl’s caught the master’s eye? “Well, how can I make him look my way?” (Exhibitionist)

https://strawpoll.com/polls/PKgl3paXQnp

Carly whistled at her choices.

“So what would you like, Carly?” Sylvia grinned. “I’m partial to a few myself.”

“I like the hair one,” Carly said, playing with her bangs. “It’s been a while since I’ve had long hair that wasn’t a wig… and getting to change the color? It would definitely help me cosplaying.”

“I see, and are there any you don’t want?” Sylvia asked, leaning in curiously. “The first one, perhaps?”

Carly scrunched up her face. “What, the bi one? Well, I don’t really have a problem with it, no, I guess it just doesn’t really apply to me. I don’t like girls, but I don’t have a PROBLEM with suddenly liking girls, I guess. As long as I would like it.”

“I see, I see…”

“I definitely don’t want the third one, though.” She shook her head. “I’d like people to pay attention to me because they like what I have to say, not because I’m bugging ‘em like crazy to do it!” She laughed.

Sylvia nodded thoughtfully. Then she turned to Nick. “What about you, master? Any preferences?” She asked.

Nick blushed and shook his head.

Sylvia scowled, not thrilled with his answer. She tapped her cane against the ground. “I believe we discussed some things about you being a more active participant, yes?” She asked, narrowing her eyes.

“Uh… yeah,” Nick gulped. “Then… the hair one, that’s the best pick, I think.”

He really hoped that all the girls’ choices would have at least one “safe” option that didn't make him look like a pervert.

Sylvia smirked, reading Nick like a book. Well, he wasn’t eager to pick one out for Carly, but for Dakota, he would definitely be making a decision.

“Up next, let’s see Dakota’s transformations!”

Dakota:

The Girl Next Door: Before Dakota passed away, she was Nick’s closest friend and was always part of his life. But what if she’d never died? What would have changed? By twisting time, Dakota and Nick will now have shared memories of 15 years of continued friendship together where Dakota never died. (Note: They will still retain their original memories as well) (Childhood Friend)

The Fucking Dead: She may have a beating heart and a brand-new body, but nothing changes the fact that Dakota is a zombie. She won’t be rotting, but she’ll have inhuman strength and a body that will not feel pain. However, she is **** to ingest semen on a regular basis to maintain her body functions, less she slow down and go into a coma. (Supernatural)

I’d Like to Phone a Friend, Bob: It pays to have friends in high places. Once per round, Dakota may ask a question of the producers, and that question will be answered to the best of their ability. (Note: Too many additional add-ons to the question will invalidate it. It must be a simple question that asks for a simple answer) (???)

https://strawpoll.com/polls/bVg8o2VWrnY

“What’s with that third ability?” Dawn asked, confused. “That seems unfair! She could absolutely use that to win challenges, even ask for info beforehand!”

Sylvia shrugged. “What can I say? I suppose someone must be looking out for our girl here.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Dakota snapped, narrowing her eyes. “I don’t need that one. I don’t need the zombie one, either. The first one. Give it to me.”

Sylvia smirked. “I had a feeling that’s the one you’d pick. A whole life you could have had. It would certainly be nice, getting those memories.”

She leaned in close and whispered into Dakota's ear, “especially given the way Nick perceives you in your current state…”

Dakota tensed.

“Actually…”

Sylvia raised her head curiously to see Nick staring awkwardly at Dakota, then to her.

“I… that’s the transformation I want for her too,” he mumbled, staring at his friend. Dakota looked gratefully back at him.

Sylvia sighed. “Well, I suppose it’s up to the audience, then. Who knows? Maybe they’ll feel the same way as you do.”

She turned to the next girl on the list. “And that brings us to Holly.” A smile crossed her lips. This would certainly be enlightening.

Holly:

Look Down, Look Down: Don’t look ‘em in the eye. Holly will now be struck with crippling shyness when it comes to looking at other people. She’ll be compelled to avert her gaze whenever someone makes eye contact with her, and if she DOES look into a person’s eyes, she gets increasingly flustered and embarrassed the longer the eye contact is maintained. (Socially Awkward)

Dream a Little Dream of You: Every night, Holly will have an erotic dream involving Nick and one of the other contestants. The next morning, she will be very deferential and accommodating to that contestant out of a feeling of respect for her hard work in the dream. (Cuckquean)

The Only One for You: Holly does not play well with others. Her feelings were hidden well until now, but from this moment forward, whenever she sees Nick interacting with another girl, she’ll be struck by incredible jealousy. She will go to any lengths to separate them as soon as possible, up to and including seduction. (Yandere)

https://strawpoll.com/polls/LVyK81Wl5n0

Yandere. The word stood out like an accusation. Holly stared up at the screen, her face going pale as her secret was broadcast to the entire beach.

“What does ‘Yandere’ mean?” Mary asked, turning to her friend.

“B-But that’s… that’s not… I’m not…” There had to be some kind of mistake. This was her hidden third path? THIS was what the producers were trying to turn her into?

A psycho who hurts her friends?

“Yandere come in all shapes and sizes my girl,” Sylvia laughed. “Oh, certainly, you’ll get violently jealous at the thought of Nick being with another woman, but you’ll be turned on, as well! And isn’t that the best of both worlds, really?”

“Not that one!” Holly pleaded. “I can’t, I don’t even want him like that!”

I don't deserve him.

Sylvia rolled her eyes. “As if anyone would believe that after the show you put on earlier today,” she snorted. “You came from a touch.”

Holly felt like she was going to be sick. She turned to Nick, paralyzed in fear. What does he think? He must feel I'm disgusting.

But he didn’t disparage her or call her a freak. His face was twisted with concern. And that made Holly smile.

Sylvia, on the other hand, was frustrated. She’d expected the revelation of Holly’s real feelings would be taken more seriously. Unless Nick just believes this was because of the game… she thought. Either way, she decided to take mercy on Holly and not ask Nick which transformation he would choose for her.

“Whatever! Time to move on to the next girl on our list, Gina!”

Gina:

Life of the Party: Gina’s never met a controlled substance she didn’t like. Unfortunately for her, all the other members of the harem are such squares, so there’s no one to party with! But that’s a quick fix. Starting now, whenever Gina is afflicted with a mind-altering substance such as **** or ****, everyone within a ten meter radius of her is likewise afflicted as if they’d consumed the same amount, regardless of body composition or weight. (Party Girl)

Steve Rogers Would Be Proud: Gina might look the part of a good girl, but she still curses like a sailor. Starting now, Gina will no longer be allowed to utter any word that is considered a “swear word”. Every violation she makes of this rule will require a 100 BP penalty into the “Swear Jar”. The BP in the Swear Jar will be distributed equally among the other contestants at the end of each round. (Note: If Gina is out of BP, she will become unable to swear at all) (Good Girl)

Chain Gang: Gina will be given a set of leather cuffs for her wrists and ankles. These cuffs have chains that can be attached to any surface with a magic key, binding Gina to whatever object they are attached to for a maximum of 24 hours. Only the key holder can release her before that time elapses. The master will be given the key to begin with, but may pass it to anyone he chooses. (Submissive)

https://strawpoll.com/polls/DwyoDb7venA

“Whoa, those are some sick abilities!” Gina grinned. “Except that middle one. Not being allowed to swear? Fuck that!”

“Oh, what a pity,” Sylvia smirked. “And here I thought that helping out your fellow contestants was the right thing to do.”

“Nah. Fuck that, like I said.” Gina smirked. “But hey, I’d love that last one. Letting Nick tie me up however he wants? Sounds like a good time to me!”

“I agree,” Sylvia nodded, chuckling. “It should make for some fun times. Nick? What do you think? Which transformation would you like?”

“Um… well… honestly?”

“The game only works when you’re honest,” she nodded.

Nick sighed. It felt awful to say, but he had to. “I like the second one,” he admitted. “Not the part where you’re punished, or have to lose your voice. I just think it would be nicer here if there wasn’t any cursing, that’s all.”

Gina stuck out her tongue in response. With that transformation active, she wouldn’t be able to talk about half her favorite songs.

“So that’s your pick?” Sylvia asked curiously.

Nick shook his head. “The third one. I think that’s the one she’d like the most.”

Gina beamed at him. “You know me so well,” she laughed, much to Dakota’s irritation.

“Alright, with those two out of the way, let’s get to who’s next, our little student,” Sylvia said, turning to the next girl on the list, Kim.

Kim:

Kim’s Inconvenience: Kim has spent a lot of time doing a lot of odd jobs. Now she’ll be using those talents for the sake of the master and other members of the harem. Every day, Kim will be given a task that she must accomplish, and be reward commensurately for the difficulty of that task. The reward can be in BP, VP, sexual favors, or even special perks, depending on the giver and the situation. (Service Industry)

100% Completion: Kim isn’t the kind of girl that leaves things undone. Whenever she’s doing something, she will feel compelled to see it through to the end. This includes sexual acts. If she sees the master has an erection due to her, she’ll find herself **** to help him cum just so she can be satisfied that he’s been taken care of, and won’t be able to think about anything else. (Hard Worker)

Give Me a D!: Kim’s not just any student, she’s a girl with a lot of school spirit! She’ll become every part the preppy cheerleader she never had the chance to be in high school, complete with pigtails and a perky attitude! And to go along with her new cheery outlook on life, cheerleader costumes have been added to her wardrobe of potential clothing choices. (Student)

https://strawpoll.com/polls/kjn18vV1jyQ

“Huh…” Kim mused. She was trying to work out the complications of each one.

“It’s quite a varied choice for you this round, hmm?” Sylvia noted. “What would you like?”

“The first one is the best one, I think,” Kim said. “The other ones would change the way I act too much. Even though it would be nice to wear something other than a schoolgirl uniform. But it would depend on how hard the tasks are… though they’d probably vary in difficulty, right? But still-”

Sylvia pressed her cane against Kim’s lips.

“Okay, that’s enough, you’re talking too much,” she groaned. “Nick? What do you think? Which one would you pick? Want Kim to give you some help jerking it? Or maybe have your own personal cheerleader? The world’s your oyster, my boy, and it’s time to pick your poison.”

Nick wasn’t going to be goaded that easily. “The first one,” he replied. “Kim seems like the kind of girl who would like to help people, and she should get a reward for that.”

“Aww!” Kim grinned, holding her hand over her chest. Sylvia and Dakota just rolled their eyes.

“Next up, our cute little Mary!” Sylvia said, turning to Mary. “Tell me, Mary, what do you think about your choices?”

Mary:

The Only Ten 'Ah See: Mary might have grown up on a farm, but when one thinks of a cowgirl, she’s not exactly what comes to mind. So it’s time to change that! In better fitting with her farming background, Mary’s body will receive a slight upgrade and become a curvy hourglass figure with pigtails, perfect for squeezing into a set of daisy dukes and a tie-off top. (Farmer’s Daughter)

The Way to a Man’s Heart: Mary will feel a compulsive need to prove herself a good wife candidate by cooking for the master. From now on, whenever the master wants to eat, Mary may offer to cook it for him, and her knowledge and cooking skills receive a boost that will allow her to prepare any meal to precisely his specifications. (Marriage)

A New Outlook on Life: Mary’s spent the entire game terrified of transformations. But maybe she’s just not giving the game a chance. People have always warned her about being too close-minded. Mary will now start to look at the silver lining for her own and other people’s transformations, and downplay how big of a deal they are. (Corruption)

https://strawpoll.com/polls/2ayLkR7P3Z4

Mary gulped. Compared to the last round, these weren’t so bad. Sure, she wasn’t thrilled by the first one turning her body into some sexed up farmgirl, but it wasn’t the worse option up there.

“So?” Sylvia purred, causing Mary to jump. She wrapped the towel tightly around herself.

“S-So what?” Mary mumbled.

“Which one would you like best?” Sylvia cooed. “I wanted to give you some great choices, since I nullified your last selection with my veto. Let’s hope we won’t need to use that again!” She laughed. “So what’s it going to be?”

Mary began to stutter. “I-I-I… I want… the second one. I already like cooking for Nick, so…”

“Aww, how sweet,” Sylvia giggled. “And what about you, Nick? Do you feel the same?”

“Of course I do,” Nick nodded, pushing the thought of Mary’s body transforming into a curvy hourglass out of his mind. It was difficult, especially considering how tight that swimsuit was on her chest.

“And any you don’t want?” Sylvia asked curiously.

Mary swallowed and nodded, pointing to the third option.

“Ah, I see, no interest in being corrupted, hmm? Well, we’ll see,” she chuckled, turning to the last girl yet to see her transformations. “We still need to have a talk about our little last-place pussy cat. Well, Dawn? Anything to say for yourself?”

“This is nothing,” Dawn muttered grimly. “Let’s just get it over with.” She couldn’t be blamed for her newfound depression. She’d lived her whole life succeeding at whatever she put her mind to. But now she’d gotten LAST in the race. And not only that, but thanks to Gina getting ahead from flashing her boobs and letting Nick touch them, she was firmly in last in the Victory Point Totals as well.

Sylvia shrugged. “Well, far be it from me to care about one of the most popular girls in the cast,” she shrugged. “But there’s no use dwelling on it now! No, for right now, let’s focus on what Dawn’s got going for her!”

The screen flared up one final time.

Dawn:

Sexterity: Dawn spent a lot of time in her youth practicing gymnastics. But she’ll find that now, nothing is more flexible than the parts of her body designed for getting men off. Dawn can give the perfect handjob. The perfect blowjob. Even the perfect footjob. Even a tailjob with some practice. Her tongue can extend now as well, perfect for coiling around a hard shaft. (Gymnast)

Bad Kitty!: Dawn isn’t just part-cat, she’s also a cat mommy! She’s raised quite a handful of kittens over the years, but her newest one will be the most difficult. This cute little critter will be bound to Dawn for the rest of the game. When she least expects it, there she is, interfering with Dawn and maybe tugging her clothes off accidentally, or tripping her so she’ll fall into Nick’s arms. This is a mischievous cat designed to give Dawn more intimate moments with the master! (Animal Lover)

No More Dr. Nice Girl: Dawn really took losing that last challenge hard. And now she’s decided that going easy is the wrong way to do it. So from now on, her personality is dependent upon her position on the leaderboard. The closer to the bottom she is, the angrier and more aggressive towards her fellow competitors she gets. But the higher her score rises towards the top, the sweeter and more understanding she becomes. (Competitive)

https://strawpoll.com/polls/ajnEO8E4jZW

“And there they are! Your transformations!” Sylvia proudly declared. “What do you think? Some of my best work, in fact! The first round didn’t really give you any sexy options, so we made do with what we had. Now, though, now you can get up to some fun like the other girls! If you want to, of course.”

Or even if you don't.

Dawn scowled. “The third choice is out of the question,” she replied. “I’m at the very bottom. I’d be altered far too much by that transformation to allow it.”

Sylvia smirked. That was precisely the answer she’d been expecting. “So which one do you want?”

Dawn smiled. “As nice as it would be to raise another cat, those accidents sound like they would be trouble. I’d much prefer the transformation that gives my fingers and toes the boost they need to help Nick get off.”

Nick’s erection jerked in his speedo. Apparently not all the sunscreen had worn off. But he couldn’t help it, he was focusing on the image of Dawn actually putting those fingers to work on him, and it was a tantalizing sight.

Dawn... she would really want something like that? He wondered. But he quickly shook his head. No, wait. She's just playing the game. That's how she is.

“Nick?” Sylvia turned to him, already knowing the answer to her question before she even asked it. “Which one would you pick?”

“The first one,” he admitted. Sure, it was the most perverted choice. But it was also the safest and most easily-controllable transformation Dawn had available, and that was far more important. If she lost control of herself, would she even be Dawn? And he didn't want to subject her to the cat's torment.

“And there you have it!” Sylvia grinned. “Our second round of votes to grant these girls another transformation. Don’t forget to cast votes yourselves, as well! We’ll need all the help we can get! And don’t worry, we may be gone for Three days in your time, but here, on Harem Hotel? That time will fly right by in a snap!”

She punctuated her sentence by snapping her fingers, and the screen went blank. “Three Days” hung ominously over it.
