Winning Isn't Always Winning

As Akane and Nikki walked through the hotel Akane clung closely to Nikki trying to hide behind her as much as she could. There was no one around but the shy girl was terrified of being seen in her swimsuit.

“Come on” Nikki encouraged. “Going swimming was your idea so why are you scared of being seen now?”

“When I suggested it I was intending to wear something over my swimsuit before reaching the pool. No one was supposed to see me but you. Like that robot receptionist. I'm sure she was laughing at me behind that smile.”

Nikki rolled her eyes. “No one is laughing at you. Besides, you do remember that we are basically being broadcast to a audience at all times right?”

Akane shuddered and stopped walking. “No, I had managed to forget that part. Now I just want to hole up in my room and hide.”

“I'm pretty sure that won't help. I'll bet we're broadcast in our rooms as well.” Nikki grabbed Akane's hand and started to pull her along. “Now come on and stop being so embarrassed. You look fine. Plus my swimsuit is way more revealing than yours and you don't see me hiding, do you?”

As she was dragged along Akane leveled Nikki with a flat look. “Your a popular streamer. Your used to large audiences of people watching you and judging you. Also your swimsuit is normal. Mine is something that is labeled fetish wear when wore outside of any school setting.”

“Okay, fair point. But it's still something your going to have to get used to because that's the only type of swimsuit your going to be wearing for the foreseeable future.”

Akane pouted as they stepped outside. “I still don't see why I couldn't wear something over it on the way.”

“Because I can't wear anything over mine and it wouldn't be fair. Now stop complaining.”

Gwen was excited as she ran into Dr. Light's Gadget Lab. I'm not going to let Lydia ruin my good mood. I'm going to win big and get that TV.

As Gwen ran back to where the raffle table had been she noticed that it was gone. Instead she found a giant stage taking up the back half of the store. The stage had a large wall stretching across the back of the stage. Shelves lined the wall with items scattered across them. Some items Gwen recognized while others were completely strange and alien to her.

In the middle of the stage was the raffle table with two bowls sitting on it. One bowl was filled to the brim with papers while the other barely had any in it. This is more elaborate than I expected. I'm getting pretty excited. But where's the raffle moogle?

Gwen found a sign declaring the drawing would start at noon. Looking at a nearby clock she only had about 8 minutes to wait. Made it just in time. I guess I'll look at some of the prizes while I wait. Looking at the wall Gwen did notice several different TV's among the prizes. She also saw several other recognizable devices like laptops and consoles. Maybe I'll luck out and win a TV and a console.

As she was staring what appeared to be a exercise bike but the seat had been replaced with a sybian Sally appeared on the stage. She had ditched her normal outfit for a more perverted game show host look.

“Welcome ladies and gentlemen to our first giveaway raffle” she shouted looking excited. As she looked out in front of her, her face fell when she only saw Gwen standing there. “Wait, where are the others?” Looking down she grabbed the emptier bowl frowning at how empty it was. “Your the only one that entered my raffle? Seriously?”

Gwen snickered enjoying seeing Sally look so flustered. Serves her right. Wait. If I'm the only one that entered aren't I guaranteed to win? Gwen smiled now feeling quite good about her odds.

“I try to give y'all the opportunity to win a bunch of awesome prizes for cheap and this is what I get. Fine whatever. The show must go on.” Slapping a smile back onto her face Sally faced forward to address the store. “We've got a lot of awesome prizes lined up here today folks. Let's see who walks away a winner with an awesome prize.”

Making a big show of digging around in the emptier bowl she finally pulled out one of the five papers that was in it. “Looks like our first winner is Gwen. How exciting folks. Come on Gwen, get on up here.”

Gwen walked up onto the stage feeling a bid weird as Sally put on this big show for nobody. “Now let's see what Gwen has won today shall we.” Digging around the much more full bowl she pulled out a piece of paper. “Ooh, how exciting. Gwen has won a very exciting prize for our first draw.” As she said this Sally made a come here motion at the wall with her finger. A pair of featureless human sized dolls floated down from the wall and landed next to Gwen.

“Gwen has won a pair of our very special voodoo sex dolls. But before she can take these wonderful prizes home with her she must first SPIN. THE. WHEEL.” As she said this a giant wheel appeared on stage with eleven sections on it. Each section had the name of a different harem member. “Are you excited to spin the wheel Gwen?” Sally asked shoving a microphone in her face.

“Um, uh, I don't know what the wheel is even for so it's hard to say.”

“Everything will become clear in time” Sally said with a smile. “For now just give that wheel a spin.”

I don't like that it has our names on it but I don't have much of a choice. Gwen walked over to the big wheel and gave it a strong spin. The wheel spun for a minute before starting to slow down finally stopping with an arrow at the top stopping on Luanne's name.

“And it seems like the first result is Luanne. Lucky for her. Now let's see the change.”

Change? What does that mean? As Gwen looked at Sally in confusion Sally just pointed to over where the dolls were. As Gwen looked at them she saw one of them begin to ripple and shift. She watched in awe as the doll began to grow features and change shape. Long black hair grew from the doll and it's chest began to inflate. A face began to be drawn onto it as if by an invisible hand and it's shape started becoming decidedly more feminine. As the changes finished Gwen was shocked to see the doll had become a perfect replica of Luanne. If it wasn't for the doll like stiffness to it she wouldn't be able to tell the difference between it and the real woman.

“And now Gwen will spin the wheel one more time folks.”

Gwen whirled back around towards Sally in shock. “You know what, I think I'm good. I don't really feel like spin....” Gwen began.

Suddenly Sally looked much more menacing as a sinister air surrounded her. “Spin the wheel.”

Gwen gulped. Nervously she reached up and gave the wheel another spin. Gwen watched the wheel with dread as it spun around and finally came to land on Lydia.

“And it looks like our second result is Lydia. That should be interesting.”

Gwen looked over at the second doll and like the first it began to change eventually becoming a duplicate of her roommate.

“Now Gwen, I'll bet your wondering what is so special about these dolls.” Gwen looked back at her nervously. “These dolls are special. They are linked to their lookalikes in a special way. Anything sexual done to these dolls the feelings will be transferred to the person they represent. Isn't that fun?”

Gwen didn't answer her. I just wanted a TV Gwen thought. I didn't want sex dolls of people I know.

“We'll have these shipped to your room unless you'd prefer to carry them out?” Gwen rapidly shook her head. “Great. Now if you could just return to the audience we can get on with the next drawing.”

As Gwen stepped of the stage Sally began to make another exaggerated show of digging in the bowl. “And it looks like our next winner is Gwen. Get on up here lucky contestant.” Gwen climbed her way back up.

“And for your prize you win...” Sally dug around in the bowl and pulled out another paper. “a free level up for any of your transformations.”

_Maybe this was a mistake _Gwen thought.
