Blanche night
Blanche night
(Blanche POV)
After landing, Blanche and Leo had to return their used equipment and outfits to the airfield. They laughed and shared their feelings about the experience. Then, as all good things must come to an end, the date ended, and they were teleported to the Master's suite.
Her plan had gone according to plan. She'd spent the day with Leo without him thinking about the other girls, the harem, or the show. Leo had enjoyed himself and so had she. Now came the most difficult phase: seduction.
"I've had a great day, Blanche. Thank you for giving me such an experience," said Leo as he headed for what appeared to be their evening meal.
"It's nothing. I must admit I'm glad you liked it. I know that not everyone likes it," Blanche replied.
"In any case, I must admit I'm exhausted. It's been an emotional day and I can't wait to go to bed," said Leo.
That was really bad news. How could she win VPs if they went to sleep?
"I'm used to doing shifts at the hospital, so I can make it through the night without any problems," Blanche replied.
"Good for you. I must admit I tend to go to bed early," said Leo.
Okay, she had to act fast, or the evening would be over.
"Maybe we'll have dinner before going to bed if that's okay with you," said Blanche, trying to buy herself some time.
"Okay, if you like," said Leo.
They sat down at a table on which were 3 large pizzas. Each of these pizzas would have been enough to feed them both, but food waste didn't really seem to be a priority for Nola.
"Nola really needs to learn to pay attention to proportions," said Leo.
"I'm not sure it's a priority," says Blanche.
"You're probably right, but I'd rather think about that kind of detail than the absurdity that is this show." says Leo.
"I think you complain too much," says Blanche, starting to get really annoyed by Leo's behavior. If she was going to be in his harem, it wasn't going to be for Leo's sake.
"What?" said Leo.
"In addition to being a limp rag, you're deaf. Are you sure you're your father's son?"
-1 VP for emotionally wounding the Master
Okay, maybe she'd gone too far. Leo's face was expressive. It was a mixture of anger, sadness, and fear.
"Blanche ... We don't know each other, and we've never really talked together." Leo didn't have time to continue as Blanche interrupted him.
"It was just a clumsy joke. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings," Blanche said with a **** laugh. Even she could hardly believe what she'd just said.
"A joke? Yes, that's your style for sure, but I'm going to take this opportunity to dot the i's and cross the t's. I'm not my father," Leo said.
That much was obvious, there wasn't much to see between the two others than their manner of speaking and their appearance. Leo was clearly not the man she'd admired for nearly 10 years.
"I'm not my father, but I freely admit that I'm his son. It's been pointed out to me enough that I physically resemble him that I don't try to deny it. Oh, don't put words in my mouth, I love, admire, and respect my father," says Leo.
Blanche couldn't help but enter the 'But' was coming.
_"But I also know that he's one of the biggest assholes I've ever met in my life. He's arrogant, egotistical, self-centered and has the emotional maturity of a 10-year-old. He constantly needs to be told that he's the best, that he's great, that he's needed. He sulks at the slightest remark. He's a bad player as soon as he loses. And he's so selfish he doesn't even know his own children's birthdays," _says Leo.
Sure enough, put like that, the father was a lot less admirable.
"So no, I don't want to be like my father, and if you want to be part of his harem, I advise you to leave this room and go see Nola to ask her to change your harem," said Leo.
If there was any doubt as to who Leo liked least in his harem, at least now the answer was clear: it was her.
There was an awkward silence. Blanche really didn't know what to say to try and make up for it. She would have preferred to let Leo calm down on his own before returning to the charge, but this option was out of the question given that she was now in the negative. She had to win points or face elimination.
After 5 minutes of neither of them speaking, Leo stood up and said:
"I'm not hungry anymore. I'm going to bed."
"Wait!" said Blanche, beginning to despair.
_"Do you have anything to add?" _said Leo, not hiding his bad mood.
Blanche didn't know what to say, but she had to find something, and find it now.
"I'm in the negative on the VPs and so if I don't win any tonight I'll be eliminated tomorrow," said Blanche not seeing what else to say but the truth.
Leo seemed to hesitate before asking:
"How many VPs are you short?"
"I'm at -1 VP," she replied.
"Get undressed then," said Leo.
"What?" replied Blanche assuming she'd misheard.
"Take off all your clothes. Do you want to earn your VPs or not?" said Leo.
Blanche realized she didn't really have any other option and began to undress. A moment later she was naked.
+4 VP seen naked by the Master.
"That's it, you're positive. Get dressed, I'm going to bed" said Leo.

(Nola POV)
"And that concludes our last date of this first round. I hope you enjoyed them more. Now it's time to decide which was the best date. I'd like to make it clear that this is not a popularity poll," says Nola.
