Hello world, hear the song that we're singing! Come on get happy!

The beach was hushed in silence as everyone stared at the silk top hat resting in the sand.

Then Mary screamed.

Marley stared vacantly at the remains of her mother. She wanted to take the hat and hug it close to her chest, but she couldn’t even move. She just knelt in the sand, tears rolling down her cheeks, as her sister hugged her.

“Mom…” She rasped.

“And that’s the end of that,” Dakota chirped, looking completely unfazed by the fact that she’d just killed her own child. Perhaps, because to her, Sylvia wasn’t anything like that. She was just a malfunctioning tool.

That wasn’t the case for the others, though.

“Sylvia!” Nick exclaimed. He turned to Dakota, furious. “Dakota! Bring her back right now! Why did you do that?! Sylvia!”

“Bring her back?” Dakota tilted her head to the side, confused. “But Nick, she’s not real. Don’t you get that yet? I created her out of thin air. She’s not human. She doesn’t have a soul. She was just a vessel to serve as the host in my absence.”

“You don’t know that!” Mary exclaimed. Tears streamed down her face. “You don’t get to decide who does and doesn’t have a soul!”

“Yeah, that’s right!” Dani snarled. “Bring her back right now!”

Dakota sighed. She wasn’t expecting this much active defiance. “Why do you all care so much?” She demanded, scanning the beach with her cold golden eyes, before finally landing on Nick. “Sylvia tormented you, didn’t she? She warped you all with transformations. I can understand the plant getting misty over her, but the rest of you? She isn’t real. She hurt you. But I’m going to help you, don’t you understand?”

“Dakota…” Nick rose to his feet and approached her, and to everyone’s surprise, Dakota actually flinched. Maybe it was due to what she saw in his eyes, but she seemed… uncertain, all of a sudden. Tense.

“Nick…” Dakota murmured.

“Please,” he begged. “This isn’t you. You wouldn’t do something like this. Something so cold and callous. I know you made Sylvia, and… I know Sylvia… did bad things. But if what you’re saying is true, and she’s not a real person who can make her own decisions, then she did those things because you programmed her to do them, right? I don’t know if I believe that or not… or if I can forgive her or not… but do you really feel nothing about doing something like that?”

For a brief moment it looked like his words were getting through to her. Then her face hardened and all light disappeared from her eyes.

“No,” she coldly rebuffed him. “I don’t feel anything at all.”

Nick’s heart broke a little to hear those words from her.

Then she sighed. “But for you, Nick… fine. I’ll grant your wish. After all… your harem still needs an Auditionee for this round.”

Nick gasped. “Wait, what?!”

She raised her cane, and it began to glow. Then to everyone’s shock, the sand on the beach began to swirl. The disparate particles stirred and began to spin together, recombining into the form they used to be, more or less.

“Haaa…” Sylvia sucked in a breath of air, and her eyes opened. She was alive.

But in spite of her resurrection, she looked quite ravaged. Her hair was a mess of knots and tangles and the light in her eyes were gone. Her face was stained with tears and snot, and her clothes had been shredded to rags. She looked like she’d been completely violated, torn apart on the cellular level and brutally reconstructed into herself again.

“Mom!” Marley blubbered, stumbling through the sand to hug her mother.

“There, you see?” Dakota turned dismissively to Nick and twirled her cane. “It was easy. No big rumble or fuss, because she isn’t human. Recreating her is as simple as snapping my fingers. I don’t understand why you’re so desperate for her, though. Like I said-”

“Dakota… thank you,” Nick cut her off, causing Dakota to look a little surprised and confused.

“Don’t thank her!” Carly exclaimed. She looked mad, which was rare for her. “NONE of this would have happened if it wasn’t for her in the first place! She just undid something!”

Dakota narrowed her eyes. “Don’t you take that tone with me,” she growled.

“Or what?” Carly demanded. She didn’t care at this point. She could put up with quite a bit, but when she got mad? Damn. She got mad.

“Carly, it’s okay,” Marley pleaded, grabbing her sister’s arm. “She’s back. It’s fine now.”

Marley had nearly lost her mother. She couldn’t bear it if something happened to her sister, too. Not to mention that if Carly got wiped out of existence like Sylvia had… what would happen to her?

“Let’s all just calm down, okay?!” Mary wailed. She didn’t like tense situations like this.

“Fair enough,” Dakota nodded. “Now listen up, all of you. Things are going to change around here, now that I’m the host. Some changes you might be fond of, others you might not. But the important thing to know right now is that Sylvia here? She’ll be your new Auditionee. But the rules are a little different this round. Because this next week is her reprieve.”

She turned to Sylvia and crouched down in front of her, staring at her coldly with her piercing eyes.

“Work on your relationships, Sylvia. Make friends. Convince the girls you’ve tormented throughout this whole show that you’re human. That you deserve to be saved. Because if you can’t do that? Then…”

She scooped up a handful of sand and let it slip through her fingers.

“W-what?” Sylvia whimpered.

Dakota smiled. A cold smile devoid of any love. She patted the other woman on the cheek and rose to her feet.

“Now then, shall we get on with things? We have new teams, don’t we? But… I’m not one for theatrics. Not in this manner, anyway. Dawn and Morgana? You’re now Team Loners. Rose, Carly, and the slime girl? You’re Team Star. Mary and Gina, nothing changed there, but Kim and Dani? Team… Tomboy. Yes, I think that’s an adequate name, don’t you?”

Kim felt herself relax a hair. For a second, she thought that Dakota would be petty and spiteful, and call them “Team Traitorous Cunts” or something.

But she still had to be cautious and on edge.

“Now then…” Dakota’s eyes scanned over the beach, looking at the frightened and worried faces of the women amassed before her.

“…Shall we get to the transformations?”

Everyone shivered.

“Dakota…” Nick stepped forward. “Those transformations you designed in the past…”

“Come now, my love, don’t think of it like that,” Dakota murmured, running the back of her fingers along Nick’s cheek. “I would never do anything so horrific to the girls you care about. I’m a new woman! And this… this will be my masterpiece. If I can’t be in your harem… then I swear, I’ll create one for you beyond your wildest dreams.”

Her expression softened. “Anything to make you happy.”

Anything short of taking them home, apparently.

She clapped her hands together.

“Now then! It’s time to begin the transformation round! Because of the rules of the last challenge, no one has immunity. So we should begin with Kim, that seems fair, right? As the saboteur to avoid being discovered?”

Kim tensed. This was just what she’d feared.

“O-okay…” She murmured, not sure what was awaiting her.

Dakota smirked.

Kim:

• Quarterly Review: Kim has always been a hard worker who does everything required of her. But is that enough? Now, the master and her fellow harem members will be judging her performance in the harem. Whenever performing an intimate act with the master (kissing, hugging, intercourse, etc.) she’ll receive a rating of her performance from 1 to 10 from each person present. (Note: This rating will be honest.) If her average rating is too low, she’ll feel compelled to repeat the action until she gets an acceptable score. (Service Industry)
• Wants a Prize for Showing Up: Kim has a hard life. She’s gotta work really hard ALL the time! She should get at least a little reward for all her hard work, right? Yeah, that’s fair. At the end of every day, as a reward for her efforts, another contestant is chosen at random to service Kim proportionally to how hard she worked that day. This could mean variations in the length of time, or difficulty of the tasks required. On her night with the master, Holly will service them both instead. (Slacker)
• Catch-Up Work: Kim needs to be a good peer to the other girls in her harem! Each day, for each other contestant, she has to spend a certain amount of time with them (must be within 10 feet). The duration of this period varies depending on the contestant, and changes each day (Kim may not reveal how long the period is to her fellow contestants). For each contestant that Kim fails to meet her daily quota, the next day she will copy a random transformation of that contestant’s for the next 24 hours. (Note: Sharing a bed with a contestant does not count towards this quota. Her time card is graded at 6 PM curfew and her penalties begin at 6 AM with her new time card.) (Student)

https://strawpoll.com/mpnboAqOLg5

Kim took a second to process those transformations. She hadn’t gotten one last round, so it had been a while, and she’d been dreading what Dakota’s sadistic mind would come up with. And while these were certainly complex… they didn’t actually seem that bad.

“I’m surprised,” Rose said, raising her eyebrow. “I thought for sure that Dakota would turn her into some kind of schoolgirl hooker or something.”

Kim shot her a dirty look. Thanks for putting that idea in her mind, Rose! She mentally screamed at the blonde.

“I would never do that to my former buddy!” Dakota chirped, wringing her hands around her cane like she was strangling it. “Even if she did stab me in the back several times over. No, no, no, I told you all, didn’t I? I’m here to make this harem the happiest place for Nick! So tell me, Kim, which of these would you like the most?”

Kim swallowed. “I mean… the second one, obviously.”

Sure, it was a little selfish, expecting her fellow contestants to wait on her hand and foot. But she deserved it, for how hard she worked, right? Unless…

Kim could see Dakota’s eyes light up when she gave her answer.

“…Wait, what does it mean by ‘service’?” She asked suspiciously.

“Oh, nothing… sexual, I assure you,” Dakota smirked. “Unless you desire that, of course. It all depends on how hard you worked! Slow day? Maybe they’ll fetch you a coke, or do your laundry. Had to be on your feet all day working hard? Perhaps you deserve a foot massage. It all depends on you! Whatever service you would like in repayment is fair game, so long as I judge it proportional to how hard you’ve worked. Make sense?”

“Yeah,” Kim nodded thoughtfully. “But… I don’t want the third one. My schedule is already packed enough, having to spend more time doing stuff, even if it’s with people I like…”

“Aha, you’re thinking like a slacker already! That’s just perfect!” Dakota giggled.

“What about you, Nick? What would you like for your little schoolgirl slut?” Dakota turned and batted her eyelashes at him.

Nick tensed. “The first one seems rough… and the third… I think Kim’s right. Plus, the penalties are pretty harsh.”

“Oh, but wouldn’t you like her to inherit some transformations?” Dakota pressed. “Some nice, milky boobs, for example?”

Nick glanced at Kim, who turned red. He couldn’t deny the appeal for a second there, but still…

He gulped and shook his head.

Dakota sighed. “So you would prefer the second as well? Fine then. Now, moving on! To our other saboteur, our little dreaming snitch… Morgana!”

Morgana flinched and turned pale. Kim had helped assuage her fears somewhat, but she was still very worried about what she faced.

Morgana:

• Sotto Voce: Morgana’s speaking voice will take on a soft yet deep and husky timbre. The longer she talks in this tone, the more aroused anyone who hears her becomes. The arousing effect declines at a proportional rate when she is not talking. (Note: This is affected by proximity. The louder her voice sounds, the greater the impact it has on a person’s arousal. Comparatively, if a person is so far away they can barely hear her, it hardly affects them at all.) (Goth)
• Fantasy Girl: In a desperate need to please, Morgana will find her body and mind changing to perfectly accommodate whatever fetish or sexual desire the person closest to her has at the moment. (Note: This applies even if that person is not attracted to women.) The severity of the transformation depends on the strength of that person’s desire, and can even result in an entirely new personality forming. All transformations are temporary, but will ebb and flow depending on the current desire of the partner. (Note: If multiple people are present, she will be affected by all of their fetishes at once, but the stronger desires will have a greater impact on her transformation.) (Fantasy)
• Oops, How Clumsy of Me!: Morgana is such a clutz! Not only does she have a hard time interacting with others, now she has a hard time even standing upright! Morgana will be afflicted by random bouts of clumsiness that will lead to awkward and sexual situations, but they’ll always be an accident, swearsies! (Ingénue)

https://strawpoll.com/40ZmqJlBAZa

Morgana gulped. These could be… troubling.

“N-not the second one!” She blurted out. “Please, I just… I don’t want that!”

Dakota frowned. “Oooh… but you were so eager before… wouldn’t you want to turn into exactly what your master desires?”

She gulped again. “W-well, yes, but… the others…”

“Come now my girl, it won’t matter in the slightest if they aren’t aroused, you know that, right? I’m sure it will be just fine…” Dakota purred.

Well, when she put it like that, then maybe…

“I-I guess… it wouldn’t be the worst thing…?” Morgana mumbled, staring down at the sand.

“Of course not!” Dakota chirped. “Well, what about you, Nick? What do you have in mind for your little goth queen?”

Nick scowled. He didn’t like any of these. But one look at Sylvia’s trembling form and he knew he had to play along.

“I’m still not comfortable with changing everything about someone,” Nick said firmly. “Even if it would be to suit my fantasies. I’d much rather the first one; at least then, she’d mostly be herself.”

“…But she wouldn’t fall over the stairs and land with her boobs in your face,” Dakota pointed out. “Are you sure?”

Nick narrowed his eyes. “I’m fine with that, frankly.”

Dakota pouted, puffing up her cheeks. “Oh, poo. Well, alas! Moving on! Time for our failed workers! Mary, you’re up first, of course!”

Mary:

• Early to Bed, Early to Rise: Having grown up on a farm, Mary knows all about doing her morning chores. But she’s been slacking recently! From now on, every morning she’s required to go up to the Master’s Suite, and give her bull a daily milking. Other chores may be added as needs are met. (Farmer’s Daughter)
• The Sisterhood: Mary is Nick’s first wife, but she won’t be the last. She’s keeping a list in her mind of which girls in the harem will be the best wives for Nick in the future. Starting now, her treatment of her fellow contestants will depend on where they rank on her list. The higher ranking a girl is, the kinder and more conciliatory Mary will be towards them. The lower they are, the more stern and strict she will be in highlighting their faults and how they can improve as Nick’s potential brides-to-be. (Wife)
• A Taste of the Good Life: Mary would like nothing more than to see the other girls in Nick’s harem join her in wedded bliss with her husband. She just needs to make sure that they’re open to it. To facilitate that, her breast milk takes on special qualities. The taste changes to suit the tastes of whoever is drinking it, and the more a person consumes, the more their body and mind change to reflect what they think would make Nick happiest. Mary will get aroused by other people drinking her milk, and feel compelled to feed it to them. (Note: The more milk someone drinks, the longer the changes last.) (Corruption)

https://strawpoll.com/e2narAqzegB

“Those… those are mine?!” Mary sputtered.

“I REALLY don’t want to be drinking anyone’s breast milk,” Rose cringed.

“Same,” Dawn nodded.

“Oh, come now, Dawn, you know what they say about cats and their love of milk!” Dakota cackled.

“You shouldn’t give milk to your cats, it will make them sick!” Dawn snapped.

“Well, lovesick, in this case,” Dakota giggled. “But fine, I can see that’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Or milk, in this case. Which one WOULD you like, Mary?”

“The first one!” Mary exclaimed. It was the only one that seemed like it wouldn’t change her behavior, and also… getting to go to visit her husband every morning, and milk out his load? That would be…

“…You’re drooling,” Dani noted, raising her eyebrow.

Mary turned red and quickly wiped her lips.

“I feel the same way as Mary,” Nick agreed.

“Oh, I’ll bet,” Dakota smirked. “I’m sure you love the idea of your blushing bride coming to service you every morning. And of course, there are other chores. Say, if other girls in the harem start to need a daily milking as well... you get it?”

Nick turned as red as his wife.

“That’s… no, it’s because the other two are problematic!” He exclaimed, though that was an obvious lie. Of course he was aroused by the thought of Mary milking a load out of him.

Who wouldn’t be?

“Well, since our married couple is predictably boring, we’re going to move on to someone who will hopefully be a little more interesting. Rose…?”

“No…” Rose whispered, shaking her head. Her transformation paths were definitely some of the more questionable ones. In Sylvia’s hands, she’d avoided the worst of it, but with Dakota at the helm…

Dakota waved her cane and new options appeared on the screen.

Rose:

• The Marital Aide: Rose has a hot body and a sensual mind. No-doubt she’d be a good fuck. But she’s even better when she’s got more to work with. When involved in sexual activities with more than one participant, the arousal and pleasure that all parties feel increases. (Note: These effects stack with each additional participant.) (Seductress)
• Professional Ass-Kisser: Rose has always had a desire for wealth, and she’s never been subtle about it. Now she’s going to REALLY be unsubtle about it. How Rose treats the other girls in the harem will depend on how much BP they have in proportion to her own amount. She’ll be accommodating and gregarious and submissive to anyone in the harem who has more BP than her, while those with less BP than her she will view as being of lesser standing and treat accordingly. (Note: The severity of her treatment of the others depends on how big the divide in BP between them is.) (Gold Digger)
• There Are No Strings on Me: In spite of claiming to play things straight now, Rose is still a bit of a fibber. Or maybe she’s just exaggerating. Or being a cocktease. Who can say? But to make sure that she’s being honest, whenever she tells a lie or misrepresents herself in any way, her breasts will increase by one cup size. Apologizing for the lie and revealing the truth to the deceived party will reverse all effects. (Actress)

https://strawpoll.com/xVg7j0aXrnr

Rose blinked. “Actually… the Seductress one… isn’t that bad?”

Kim frowned. “Yeah, but the others…”

Everyone eyed Rose suspiciously. Rose was an exceptionally bad liar, but how would that affect the third transformation? Did acting count? Sympathetic cajoling, if she wasn’t sincere enough, or just trying to make someone feel better?

These were questions that never once crossed the actress’s mind, because she wasn’t much one for critical thinking.

There was something else she was concerned about.

“What about the second option?” She asked cautiously. “It says that I’m going to view the people with less BP in lesser standing… what does that mean? Am I going to bully them?”

Dakota smirked. It was the kind of smirk that made it clear she had no intention of giving her a straight answer. “You’ll treat them how you would treat anyone you see as beneath you,” she replied. “Does that answer your question?”

“I… I…”

Everyone gasped.

An unlikely person had finally stood up.

Sylvia looked at Rose with a weak gleam in her eye.

“Sylvia?” Nick whispered.

“Oh, she’s finally ready to join in,” Dakota scoffed. “And she’s already interrupting.”

“What were you going to say?” Rose asked.

“I’m not… the host anymore…” Sylvia mumbled numbly. “But I still know how the rules work. For a transformation like that… what it means is that it’s all on you. If you’re naturally kind and generous and caring to those you see as beneath you, for example, taking pity on them, that’s what you’d do. But if you’re naturally cruel, spiteful, and a bully… well…”

She glanced warily at Dakota and then locked her gaze on the sand at her feet. She started to shake.

Rose winced. “So… it’s dependent on how good of a person I am…”

That wasn’t reassuring.

“Well, Nick, I’m guessing you’d like the first option as well?” Dakota sighed, turning to Nick. “Do be quick with your decisions, we have more transformations to get through.”

“Yes,” Nick said quickly. “The threesome one.”

The closest he’d been to a threesome was with the Granger sisters. Throw Rose into the mix, and… wow. “And I don’t want the second one.”

Rose winced when she heard that. She looked like she was about to cry.

Dakota sneered. “Oh, my… Rose, it sounds like someone here doesn’t think you’re all that nice of a person… poor thing…”

“Wait!” Nick cried. “That’s not it! I just… I don’t want her constantly having to worry about money and her BP all the time, that’s all.”

“Sure,” Dakota nodded, her sarcastic tone speaking volumes. “Sure.”

Then she turned to Dani with a sadistic gleam in her eye.

“Now, as for our little lesbian, and the one who stole the place in Nick’s harem that should rightfully have gone to me…”

“No, wait!” Dani cried, shaking her head frantically.

Dani:

• Skinned Our Hearts and Skinned Our Knees: Dani has always put on a brave face. She’s never been one to cry, even when she gets hurt. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t hurt. She’s just trying to push through the pain and be tough like a tomboy should. When she does feel upset or hurt, whether emotionally or physically, the only person who can make her feel better is her best friend, the master. His hugs are the only ones that really comfort her. His words are the only ones that truly relieve her. His kisses are the only ones that can heal her booboos. (Tomboy)
• But I Might Break a Nail!: Being aggressive and physical is, like, SO unfeminine. And that’s not cool. While Dani is totally willing to work out to keep her rocking bod in great shape, when it comes to confrontations with people, whether the master, the host, or one of her fellow contestants, Dani isn’t going to be a big dumb brute about things. What if she messed up her clothes or something? (Girly Girl)
• Butch and Femme: Lots of people have stereotypes about lesbians. Now, Dani will zigzag between those two stereotypes, at least when it comes to the bedroom. Depending on the taste of her partner, she will either become “butch” and be more sexually dominant, or “femme” and be more sexually submissive. Her body will change to properly accommodate this shift. (Note: This overwrites any other physical transformations currently affecting the contestant. But the changes only last for as long as the contestant is engaging in sexual intercourse.) (Lesbian)

https://strawpoll.com/40ZmqJlBwZa

“There, those aren’t so bad, don’t you agree?” Dakota smirked.

Dani scowled. “Are you kidding me!?” She exclaimed. “What kinds of transformations are those?!”

“Now now, don’t take that tone with me, young lady,” Dakota chastised her. Then she brought her hand to her chin and stroked it contemplatively. “…No, on second thought, that’s fine. After all, depending on what the voters say, that might be the last outburst like that we get from you in quite some time.”

Dani thought she was going to be sick.

“You mean she could really change completely?” Carly gasped.

“It won’t be so drastic as a full personality makeover,” Dakota assured her. “…Not yet, anyway. But as someone who was in the trenches with you, Dani, your tendency for violence? Not attractive, really. Especially not now that I’m the host. So we might be putting an end to that… you’ll still be you, you’ll just think better than to solve your problems with your fists. You’ll have to rely on your words… or other methods of conflict resolution.”

Dakota’s eyes skipped to Dani’s curvaceous figure just in case her insinuation went over the other girl’s head.

Dani wanted to scream. But she restrained herself.

“But if it’s the third one… I could get my old body back?” She asked quietly.

Dakota nodded. “As long as you’re having sex, to be clear,” she established. “And as long as the person you’re having sex with would prefer you that way. But if they want a soft and gentle little femsub, well…”

Yeah. Dani got the message. But that was still better than the alternative.

“I feel the same way,” Nick agreed. “At least with the second one. Dani being confrontational isn’t such a problem you can just take away her ability to defend herself!”

What if one of the challenges involved fighting something again, like the slime army? Dani might be helpless.

Dakota shrugged. “Well, whatever the audience decides. As for our little cat girl over here…”

“Bring it on,” Dawn said, narrowing her eyes. “I’m not afraid of whatever you’ve got.”

Dakota smirked. She liked a challenge.

Dawn:

• Poser: Dawn will find herself aroused at the thought of being Nick’s poseable little sex doll. Her size and flexibility means that he can use her in ways that he can’t with the other girls, and the possibilities that entails can’t help but turn her on. She’ll find herself drawn towards being sexually submissive in bed, finding the idea of Nick using her in whatever position he wants while she’s little more than a toy for his pleasure to be incredibly hot. (Gymnast)
• Comfort Animal: Whenever someone makes physical contact with Dawn, whether hugging her, petting her, or just holding her hand, she will exude pheromones proportional to how pleasurable she finds the action. These pheromones will have a pacifying effect that will cause anyone touching her to feel relieved and relaxed and happy. (Note: If the contact is sexual in nature, the pheromones will have an aphrodisiac effect instead.) (Animal Lover)
• The Winning Edge: Dawn’s competitive streak won’t let her settle for anything but first in the VP totals. Luckily, there’s a way for her to shoot ahead of the rest of the pack, in the form of a womb tattoo. Whenever she touches herself and would bring herself to orgasm, she’ll be prevented from cumming and the counter on her tattoo will go up by 1. At the end of the round, if she hasn’t been eliminated, she will receive Victory Points equal to the number on the counter and the counter will reset back to 0. She can choose to deactivate the tattoo at any point, and all the orgasms she ruined will hit her at once. But this will also cause the counter to reset to zero. (Note: Orgasms brought by the master’s hand will not be affected by this.) (Competitive)

https://strawpoll.com/e6Z280ODqnN

Dawn sighed. There weren’t any she found reprehensible enough to take a stand against; actually, this was about what she expected… at least for the first two. But that third one… she couldn’t take her eyes off that third one.

“Wait, so… if Dawn wanted, she could just win?” Carly wasn’t sure if she got that right or not. “Because, I mean, she can just play with herself, like, 80 times, and not cum, and then if she makes it through the round, she’d get 80 VP? Just like that?”

“That’s right,” Dakota nodded. “Just like that.”

“No way,” Nick said, shaking his head. “There has to be a catch.”

Dakota wouldn’t throw something like that into the ring without some sort of condition.

“No catch at all,” Dakota assured everyone. “It all depends on Dawn’s willpower. Can she really ruin enough orgasms to get that far ahead? Because if she gives in even once, if her willpower slips even once… back to zero.”

Dawn had confidence in her abilities. But Dakota seemed very confident that she’d fail. And then there were the other two.

“Maybe the audience won’t give her that one, though,” Morgana brought up. “They might think it’s too unfair.”

“That’s certainly true…” Sylvia muttered grimly.

“Well, we’ll leave that up to them to decide, if this is too much power to trust in Dawn’s hands,” Dakota smiled. “Maybe they’d like to see Dawn get pets and headpats instead! That could be fun. Or to be Nick’s little submissive sex doll. You never know! As for who’s next… oh, yes. That’s it. You two.”

Carly and Marley glanced at each other.

“These are… they’re just for me, right? Marley won’t be affected?” Carly really hoped that was the case.

Dakota said nothing, and just waved her cane.

The screen lit up with her options.

Carly:

• The First Taste is the Sweetest: Carly has been with a lot of partners in the past. Even now, as part of Nick’s harem, that doesn’t necessarily have to change- if she doesn’t want it to. Carly will now receive a boost to her arousal whenever she has a sexual interaction with someone she hasn’t been intimate with before. (Adventurous)
• Aww, How Generous!: Carly has run a LonelyFans account for a long time now, so she knows how to milk the camera (and her audience) for all it’s worth. Starting now, whenever the audience witnesses her have sex, they will be able to donate gifts to her and her sexual partners. These prizes could be tangible objects, BP rewards, VP, or anything the audience member wants, really, and one of them will be selected and given to her. (Content Creator)
• The Other Side of the Window: Carly’s always had a bit of an exhibitionist streak to her, and likes being watched. But now she’ll find that she enjoys being on the other side of things just as much. She’ll become a voyeur, getting aroused by the sight of other people having sex. (Note: The effect will double if one or more parties to the act are aware that she is watching.) (Exhibitionist)

https://strawpoll.com/w4nWrAdRNyA

Marley looked anxiously at her sister. She secretly felt relieved she wasn’t involved. “Come on… it could be worse, right? Those aren’t so bad!”

“No, they’re not that bad,” Carly agreed reluctantly, shaking her head. “Though I question what the audience would find a suitable ‘prize’ for me. For all I know, I might get locked up in a chastity belt!”

Dakota shrugged. “Always a possibility,” she smirked. “So what do you think? Which one would you like?”

The cosplayer sighed. “Well… all my other transformations are Content Creator ones. Might as well, right? And it sounds like it’s got some great boons.”

“I see, and any you don’t like?” Dakota wondered.

She made a face. “The first one. I don’t really think there’s going to be a lot of opportunities to flex that here, given… everything.”

Dakota leaned in. “And what exactly do you mean by that?”

But Carly was tight-lipped. She could still barely contain her rage from earlier.

Sensing she’d get nothing from the other girl, Dakota sighed and turned to Nick, shaking her head. “Well, well, what are you going to do?” She shrugged. “What about you, Nick? What would you like?”

“I agree with Carly, that I don’t like the first option,” he replied. “But as for the second one… I don’t know. If she’s comfortable showing off more to those viewers… that’s her decision. But honestly, I prefer the voyeur one. It seems the least… invasive.”

Carly nodded thoughtfully. When he put it like that, he had a point. Maybe she’d been too hasty in her decision.

“I see, I see,” Dakota mused. “Now then, let’s move onto our little punk girl… Gina. My old, dear friend…”

Gina gulped. “H-hey, Dakota,” she said, cracking an awkward smile. She wasn’t sure how to react to everything that had happened, so she’d been mostly keeping her mouth shut.

“Gina, let’s see what we have for you today, shall we?” Dakota purred, raising her cane.

Gina:

• The Party of the Year: On Gina’s night with the master, she can invite as many girls as she likes up to the Master’s Suite with her for a party. There’s a 500 BP entrance fee, but any contestant who attends and participates in the fun will find themselves receiving a positive boon that will help them for the remainder of the round. (Note: Boons will be given at random, and the positive benefits will vary based on the enthusiasm of the participants in the night’s festivities.) (Party Animal)
• Get With the Program: Now that Gina has a brand-new addiction to deal with, Nick’s cum, she’s got to find a way to cope. But since there’s no AA or NA meetings on the island, the best thing she can do is try to go cold turkey… yeah, right. Instead, Gina will work as an advocate to the other girls, trying to explain to them all the benefits of Nick’s semen, in order to convince her fellow contestants that being a naughty little cumslut isn’t such a bad thing after all. (Good Girl)
• Skinner Box: Gina’s never been great at following orders. But it’s time to defang our little punk, with some positive reinforcement! Each day, whenever someone orders Gina to do something, if she follows that order she will receive an orgasm. After Gina’s first orgasm from that person, she is immune; fulfilling subsequent orders from that individual will not have any effect until the next day. (Submissive)

“Now that’s a tasty set of transformations,” Dakota said, licking her lips. “I told you, didn’t I? I like to take care of my friends…”

“So wait, so… if I follow people’s orders, then I get an orgasm?” Gina asked curiously. “Any orders at all?”

That sounded pretty good. But then, the party one sounded good, too…

“I guess I’m fine with the first one, or the third one,” she admitted with a shrug. “Though I dunno what sort of boons there would be... As for the second one…”

“Yeah, I’m not a big fan of that one,” Nick agreed. “Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any problem with helping Gina’s… addiction…”

“Oh, I’ll bet you don’t,” Dakota smirked. She remained quiet about the boons. They would find out if that one won.

Nick turned red. “But trying to rope other people into it…”

“They could always say no,” Dakota said, waving her hand. “But anyway, are there any you would like, Nick?”

“The first one,” Nick replied automatically. “Not the third.”

Dakota was surprised. So was Gina.

“Why not?” Dakota asked.

“Well…” Nick glanced at the punk girl, and tried to stand a little taller. “She’s my sex slave, right? So… she should only be rewarded for following my orders.”

Nick only partially felt that was true. But that was the kind of talk that Gina liked, and judging by the way the punk’s face lit up, she agreed with him.

Dakota was all smiles herself.

“Magnificent,” she nodded. “You’re coming along nicely… and I’m so glad I’m going to be here, to take you the rest of the way. Now, just one thing left to handle…”

She turned to Sylvia, who flinched under her cold gaze.

“My poor little doll…” Dakota crooned. “What’s the matter? You used to delight in transforming all of us… are you scared, now? Because you’re the one, who will have to suffer?”

Sylvia’s mouth was dry. She slumped over and stared down at the ground, mumbling something that might have been a “yes”.

That made the new host smile.

“Now then, as the Auditionee, you’ll be getting five transformations this round,” Dakota smirked. “Per your own rules, of course, since I had four. And as for your transformation paths…”

Sylvia tensed up.

“…Well, you had ‘Former Host’ as my secret transformation, isn’t that right?” Dakota tapped her chin. “That seems like an adequate branch to pass onto you. As for the other two… oh, yes, those will do just fine…”

Her eyes widened with glee, and Sylvia shivered in fear.

Sylvia:

First Poll:

• The Mods Must Be Crazy: Sylvia’s body type and proportions will be left up to the whims of fate; every day, she’ll awaken in a new body type, forced to adapt to whatever sort of physical changes have been chosen for her. (Former Host)
• Little Angel: Sylvia’s body will transform into that of an 18-year-old girl. What she may lose in terms of body proportions, she’ll gain in perkiness, energy, and youthful stamina. (Daughter)
• We Have [Partner] at Home: Each night, Sylvia’s body will transform to be a perfect body double of whoever she is sleeping with. Those changes will last until the next night, then will change again. On her night with the master, her body will change to fit Nick’s ideal body type. (Empathy)

Second Poll:

• Slave to the Ratings: Sylvia has always looked to the audience for support when she lacked confidence in herself. This transformation will not only grant her the ability to keep interacting with the audience chat logs, but she will find herself being influenced by what she thinks the viewers want to see. She isn’t forced to do what they want, but she may be easily persuaded. (Former Host)
• Pet Name: Sylvia will no longer be able to refer to the master by his name. Instead, she will have a pet name that she must refer to him by at all times. The default name is set to “Daddy”. The master can change the pet name to whatever he would like, but he can’t change it to his real name, or any variation of that. (Daughter)
• Caught Up in You: Sylvia will find herself picking up on the emotions of the people around her like a radio receiving a signal. If the general mood of the people she’s around is positive, she’ll be happy and upbeat. If there’s a wave of negativity in the room, it will make her incredibly down and depressed. And if everyone is aroused, well… you get the idea. (Empathy)

Third Poll:

• Fuck the Voters: Sylvia will have the unique ability, once per round, to veto someone else’s transformation for the rest of the round. She can negate it completely, but as a price she must permanently take that transformation onto herself. (Former Host)
• Yes, Daddy!: Sylvia will regard the master as the father figure in her life, and be devoted to pleasing him and making him happy as daddy’s little girl. Her desperation for approval and parental affection will expand to include anyone else she sees as a parental figure. (Daughter)
• Sigmund Fraud: Sylvia began her existence in the master’s life as his therapist; now she’ll regain that position, only this time, she’ll receive a boost to her knowledge so that her credentials as a therapist and her qualifications for judging the psychological state of the people around her become genuine. (Empathy)

Fourth Poll:

• Slip into Something Less Comfortable: As a former host, Sylvia’s job was once to arouse and titillate the master. Well, it still is. And since that’s the case, she will not be allowed to wear any modest clothes. Only fetish outfits, skimpy clothing, and sexy lingerie will be permitted from here on out, or any other garments the master would find arousing. (Former Host)
• Family Shopping Trip: Sylvia will only be able to wear clothes that her daddy, the master, picks out for her. If he ever expresses that he doesn’t like something that she’s wearing, the garment will be removed and she won’t be able to wear it again. In exchange, she will get a weekly BP allowance from her daddy that she can spend on outfits for him. (Daughter)
• We Match!: Every morning, Sylvia will receive an outfit that is reflective of the clothing style of a random member of the harem. This includes clothing-related transformations as well. She will also slightly develop behaviors and mannerisms that tend to be associated with that style of clothing. (Empathy)

Fifth Poll:

• The Wolf of Wall Street: Nothing corrupts faster than money. As a former host, Sylvia will receive a special discount on her buying power. Any purchases involving transformations, whether for her or anyone else (upgrades, bonus transformations, etc.) will receive a 50% reduction in BP, rounded down to the nearest hundred. (Former Host)
• Are You Gonna Punish Me, Daddy?: Sylvia will become every parent’s worst nightmare, a bratty little daughter! She’ll become less mature and more disobedient, with a penchant for pranks and being rude to authority figures. She’ll also become a bit of a tease, and have an incorrigible urge to seduce the master. (Daughter)
• Tantric Sex: Some call sex the ultimate act of getting to know another person. You both become a part of each other in the most meaningful way possible. In that sense, this transformation is the same way. Sylvia will feel all sexual pleasure she gets from any partner that she pleasures, and vice-versa, maximizing the pleasure for all parties involved. (Empathy)

Nick stared in shock at the transformation paths.

“Daughter?!” He sputtered. “Dakota, what the hell?!”

“You’re married now, aren’t you?” She smirked. “Every good family needs a rebellious daughter, wouldn’t you agree? That girl can’t function on her own, and since she seems determined to consider herself my child… I thought this was only fitting.”

Nick was still disgusted.

Dakota held out her hands like she was staging a presentation, and then turned to Sylvia. “Well, my girl? What do you think of your transformations?”

Sylvia hung her head. She had nothing to say, honestly. She was resigned to her fate.
