Lining Up for Merch

The harem had, almost, all headed downstairs. Kate had split off to work out what more conservative clothing she could find in her new club-styled wardrobe.

Upon arriving on the shopping level, they found the promised merch table. The table was stacked high with classic festival merch like t-shirts, hoodies and caps, but also a wide selection of other items that were less publicly appropriate. Booty shorts, lingerie, skimpy tube tops, all emblazoned with the new logo for Danni. Things with more real estate for imagery had the logo accompanied by a pin-up style illustration of Danni herself.

Behind the table was a new stranger. Said stranger was decked out in the merch, adorned with cap, crop top and booty shorts. Visible on her left arm was the same image from the t-shirt as a tattoo, peeking out of her sleeve.

"Hey all! Looking to buy some Danni merch?"

"Of course there's no actual pants." Sigrid grumbled, essentially wearing nothing but a bra and shorts that showed far more of her thick muscular legs than she normally would by choice.

"Wait." River called out from the back of the group. "Does anyone know how we get BP?"

That got a pause from the group and a "Shit" from Sigrid.

"I, um," Annie took a deep breath. Putting herself forward had become a lot harder after that brutal transformation ceremony. Being stuck in a see-through dress wasn't helping. She swallowed and continued. "I don't know that we have any other option really. At least buying the merch, we keep the BP in the hands of the players."

"Do you think Danni would buy us things if she gets all our money?" Mia hadn't interacted with Danni too often over the first few days. Their bonding over their **** aesthetic shift wasn't enough for her to judge Danni's trustworthiness.

"She's more likely to than Rahne." Annie's voice waivered as she mentioned the host.

"Um... did any of you, yknow, want to buy something?" The sales girl awkwardly inquired. The contestants had all found themselves idling around the front of the table, still not having answered the sales girl's question.

Mia came up with her answer first. "No. I think I'm going to try to cobble together something from what I've already got upstairs." She turned to the others. "I don't want to take the risk on what little currency we've got."

"Fair enough!" The sales girl said in that way customer service staff do when they're not quite sure how to take a negative response. "How about the rest of you?"

"Screw it, how much are those t-shirts?" Sigrid pointed to the black t-shirts, emblazoned with the Danni pin-up image.

"Depends on what size you're after."

"The size makes a difference?"

"Well, for you, if you wanted the men's XXL, that would be two-thousand BP, as it would cover your body and butt. However, a men's extra large would only be five-hundred BP because your butt would be super cute sticking out of the bottom of it and a large would run you two-fifty as it wouldn't cover your butt at all."

"So, wait, what would the men's large cost me?" The diminutive Annie inquired.

"Oh, two-thousand BP."

Annie turned to Sigrid with pleading in her eyes. They'd both internally done the maths. Looking at the shirts, Annie could wear them like a dress; Sigrid could set her up with seven and she'd be good for the week.

Sigrid had pause. That would be Sigrid's balance almost entirely gone. "Fuck, I need clothes too."

"How about me?" Nat had a bit of a sinking feeling.

"Oh, well, obviously, black is going to be a little more expensive for you, but luckily, everything also comes in a bubblegum pink colour!"

"There it is." Nat let out a sigh.

The sales girl's perky energy smacked up against the cold calculations of the harem as they strategised how best to spend their small supply of money.

"Come in!" River nervously stepped out of the elevator and into Danni's quarters. Their new master lay back on the couch legs tightly crossed as a recording of solo piano played through the master's incredible sound system.

"I didn't have you picked for a classical piano person."

"Wait for it." Danni held up a finger. Seconds later, the synths and drums of deadmau5's Acedia kicked in. She sat up "It's my favourite album and this sound system is worth more than my apartment. I had to listen."

River smirked as the bass thumped. "And you're mad they're turning you into a party girl?"

"Just because I like the music, doesn't mean I want to live the stereotype. I want to be a respected artist some day; I don't want people thinking that only happened because I get my tits out."

River looked down at the one t-shirt they'd purchased with half their BP and the scantily clad design of Danni on it, it's hem adding some amount of modesty to the shorts they'd been **** into.

"Oh for fuck's sake." Danni sat up and put her head in her hands. "I don't get any say in that?"

"Not yet I guess."

"Fucking hell." Danni swung her feet off the couch past her discarded heels. "I'm so done with this place."

"Then you're not going to like why I'm here."

Danni looked up at River and put two and two together. "No. I'm sorry, I just- I couldn't do that to any of you guys."

"If Nat doesn't suck someone off, she's going to lose her remote. You've seen how big this place is. Working together, we'd still probably take all day to find it."

"I'm not taking advantage of any of you!"

"Who said you were? Who said Nat wouldn't be taking advantage of you?"

"I dunno, maybe it's the whole 'sort of blackmailed' blowjob thing." Danni was frustrated with River making these demands. She looked down at her lap. River put two and two together.

"I-I'm not trying to make you feel bad when I say this: I would kill to be in your position right now."

Danni turned and raised an eyebrow.

"You've got this killer feminine body, but you're also packing an actual, fully functioning penis. That... gender blur. It would just... feel right."

This did little to lift Danni out of her grumpy slump. "Me winning was your idea in the first place."

"I don't regret it." That itching feeling was still at the back of River's head. "Yet."

"It's just... weird. " Danni looks back at the hem of her dress. "It feels alien." Tension rose between the two of them.

"Can I...?"

"Oh! Um..." Danni tried to think of a reason to say no.

"Look, not for sex, just..." River puzzled over how to ask what they wanted to ask.

"Sorry. It, just... it feels wrong on my body, y'know?"

River took a deep breath. Oh boy, could they empathise. "One of the most affirming things I ever did was visit a nude beach."

"What?"

"Y'know, a 'no clothes allowed' situation."

"No, I get that, I meant 'What do you mean?'"

"Well, I was horrifically embarrassed, and I'll probably never do it again-"

"Really selling this so far." Danni snorted.

"But," River paused for emphasis. "I was there in my body. All of these naked people around me and I was just my body. People were witnessing something I'd hidden away for so long. All I really knew about my gender is that I hated being female. I'd thought I might have been a trans-man up until then. But in that moment, I felt like people were witnessing me. The real me. And the real me has boobs. And a pussy. And y'know what, a really cute butt!"

"You do have a really cute butt." Danni admitted, though blushed immediately as she felt her girlcock move a little.

"Not a handsome butt; not a chiselled, masculine, muscular butt; a cute, perky, feminine butt. And I'm actually proud of that! Not, like," River waved their hand at the tiny shorts they'd been **** into, as though to criticise how much of their ass was flaunted. "But in that moment, I wasn't ashamed of it. I have inherent femininity, but that doesn't make me female, it makes me... me."

River put a hand on Danni's shoulder. "Same way have a dick doesn't stop you being you. It's just... part of you."

Danni took a moment to digest the situation. "Fuck it. This is non-sexual; just two friends inspecting a weird growth. Right?"

"Absolutely."

Danni stood up, reached under her dress and looped her thumbs into her underwear, and paused. "This show is so fucking weird."

"So true."

Danni pulled her underwear down. Her excitement had her starting to lift the front of the dress. She took a deep breath. "Ta da?" Danni flashed River her girlcock.

"Fucking hell." River was stunned.

"Well?"

"Danni, I say this as someone who hasn't really seen that many dicks. And definitely none that weren't attached to transwomen, so, y'know, I'm not an expert or anything..."

"But...?"

"That is absolutely the most perfect penis I've ever seen."

"Really?"

"Yeah, it's a really workable length, it's an amazing girth and it's hard in a way most dicks attached to women just don't get."

"Oh. Um... thank you?"

"You're so welcome." The air in the room hung tensely.

"You've gotta at least be curious to try it out."

"I mean, yeah."

"I'll send Nat up?" River was doing her absolute best to hide how giddy she was.

Danni looked at her new appendage, which throbbed back at her, then back to River. "Don't tell the others?"

"I won't. But the scoreboard probably will."

There was a pause as Danni thought with her girldick for the first time. "Fuck it, send her up anyway."

"As you wish, Master." River gave a cheesy bow and scurried towards the lift.

"Fuck you." Danni flipped the enby off.

"Not how my transformation works!" River joked as the lift doors closed behind them.
