Crystal's just chilling

Crystal walked out of the store wearing her new purchase. Half of her current BP, but it was worth it to not have to dress like some slut for the rest of her time here. Or at least not as big of one as that cheerleading outfit had her look. Her current outfit wasn't exactly subtle, her blouse was lacey black and showed a lot of skin, and her jeans hugged her ass tighter than a divorcee holds onto her alimony check. It was also a good way to really test the system Nymeera had set up. Crystal had her clone self try on outfit after outfit in rapid fire succession, even had her try on multiple outfits at once with more clones, while having the clones perform tasks and slowly making the outfits more and more unusual to stress test Nymeera's magic. In the end she had no less than 14 Crystal's each with a different task to complete, a dance, a song, counting via integers of 17, spinning around without falling over...etc, while wearing ludicrous outfits such as a dress made entirely of meat, a sci fi robot costume with LED lights, a fantasy wizard's robe that reflected light, a shaman's ritual dress made of authentic animal bones that glowed with eerie green light...and the only limitation Crystal found after all that was that none of the outfits could be unsexy...or at least unrevealing as sexy wasn't exactly what Crystal would call them, though some might find the outfits hot.

The wizard's robe materialized as some skimpy cosplay slip of a bodice that barely covered her ass or tits, making the invisibility utterly useless. That was the other thing she found, she couldn't make anything that might give her an advantage over the others, such as a sci fi jetpack or one of those hypno-visors Nymeera had them in during the introduction. Crystal was still VERY fuzzy on how exactly Nymeera had kidnapped her or any of the others, the last thing she remembered was going to sleep in her bed before...all this. Either way the point was made that Nymeera's magic wasn't about to be overloaded by anything she was likely to do here, that meant any breaking of the game's system would have to be done with Nymeera's blessing.

That grated on Crystal...but she was willing to make a deal with the devil if it would save her sister. Crystal stopped in the middle of the path and closed her eyes, just letting herself feel her sister's warmth as she basked in pure joy. Summer was pure light shining down upon her. All of Crystal's cold frustration, or anger at the situation she was put into just melted away under the sun that was her wonderful sister. She was cooking something, and having a lot of fun with it too. Crystal didn't want to interrupt, and so remained quiet, just letting her sister feel good. She found herself smiling, which just made Summer smile, which only made Crystal want to smile more!

She would make a hundred deals with the devil, burn everyone here and herself to fucking ashes before letting Summer suffer.

Crystal exhaled slowly, turning it into a long sigh as she bottled up her vitriol before it started to flow over into Summer, the last thing she wanted to do was get worked up and make Summer's happiness start to ebb. She was starting to get the hang of this connection they now shared, and if nothing else positive could be said about this whole excursion, at least Crystal had a connection to her sister that truly blew away all doubts as to whether Summer really did love her.

The sun was starting to set, which Crystal assumed was just Nymeera telling them to head into the hotel for bed since the fox woman seemed like the type to control absolutely everything she could, even the setting sun. Though to be fair Crystal did spend quite some time inside the store stress testing things. Summer was finished cooking and having fun eating now, apparently something about the food was making her feel amused.

'Crystal! Crystal! Oh sorry!' Summer suddenly blared into her mind.

'It's alright, what is it?' Crystal sent back mentally, walking into the hotel and considering heading toward the kitchen for a moment, but decided to go to the room she'd be sharing with her sister tonight and check it for anything...suspicious.

'Hm? Oh! We got BP for cooking for the Master!' Crystal grimaced as a wave of sensual pleasure washed through her body, driving away the cold that had been steadily creeping up over her for the past few hours and replacing with with a warm euphoria. Crystal immediately felt as though she were about to vomit, and had to stop for a moment, clenching her fist tight. 'Apparently you get a HUGE bonus if you cook for him in uniform! It's great!' Huh...now that was interesting information. Nymeera wanted the girls to use her slutty uniforms, and was rewarding them for playing into her harem fantasy by dressing up for the part? Crystal took out her phone and flipped through her personal BP store...

****- 10,000 BP (per meal)

She wasn't too interested in the ice queen store, but the twin store held a lot of things that could be beneficial. Turning down the cold on Summer's sharing of her Frigid TF was a future goal, and the diary might be useful for keeping Crystal's more negative thoughts from influencing Summer...well negatively. The twin necklace was cheap, but Crystal didn't see the need for what was essentially a GPS tracker for her sister... Maybe she'd keep it in mind in case Nymeera became even more hostile. To get any of this though, Crystal would need BP, and that meant sucking it up and putting on the porno outfits. Also serving Damien, which Crystal wasn't nearly as thrilled about as Summer seemed to be.

'You can come join us if you want...' Summer said quietly in Crystal's mind, a little hopefulness creeping through their bond. God Summer was such an amazing person. She truly didn't deserve such a horrible sister for a twin.

'Thanks,' Crystal said genuinely, 'But I'll pass for now, I'm heading up to our room to get settled in.'

'Oh! That sounds great! Let me get changed and I'll join you! Huh? What do you mean... Oh yeah! Guess my uniform is in my room haha!' Summer laughed jovially, Crystal could tell because the emotion flowing through their bond was pure joy, tinged with a slight blush of embarrassment. Summer was truly the best of humanity...

'Wait are you saying everything you're thinking to me out loud?'

'Uhh...' That slight blush started to darken considerably.

'Summer you don't need to say your thoughts out loud...' Crystal said with all the patience she could muster.

'I know but...it's hard! Like trying to tie my shoe while balancing on one foot!' Crystal sighed, stepping into the elevator. She'd have to help Summer practice that so that she didn't end up accidently giving away secret information. Crystal wasn't yet sure she trusted any of the other 'Contestants' here, despite the fact they were all on the same cheer squad together. A lot could change over the years...it certainly changed Crystal.

'Just be careful about what you say alright?' Crystal pleaded fondly, stepping out of the elevator and heading to her room. Nymeera apparently altered their minds a bit because not once did Crystal have any doubt about where to go or which room was hers despite never having been here before. The thought made Crystal shiver...or maybe that was the air conditioning? It was much colder inside than outside, and Crystal's Frigid transformation was making things a bit more difficult for her. She should really focus on getting 5000 BP for that App. Summer didn't deserve to suffer like this.

Once inside the room Crystal quickly got to work ensuring its safety for Summer. The walls were painted to look like a bright yellow sun shining atop a cold, winter snowfield. There were some potted plants, lush furniture, a large television, and an adjacent room for sleeping. Yep, only one bed, Crystal fucking knew it. Well, it wasn't like she and Summer hadn't ever slept in the same bed before. In fact this wouldn't even be out of the ordinary for the twins...but Crystal was sure Nymeera had some tricks up her sleeve to make it happen regardless...

The first thing she did was take the two chocolates on the bed pillows, unlabeled and unmarked, and flush them down the toilet. You'd have to be a total moron to eat one of those, or genuinely trusting like Summer was... The next thing that went was all the unmarked shampoos and conditioners and soaps in the bathroom. Crystal tossed those outside the room without batting at eye. The plants caught her gaze on the way back in, and something about them reminded Crystal of the tentacles that held her and violated her earlier. They were probably fine, Crystal didn't see anything wrong with them, but the tentacles reminded her of plants and that was enough to toss them out the window.

She next started to look around the room for hidden cameras or microphones, though it was clear that with Nymeera's magic such things wouldn't be needed. Not finding any didn't make her feel any less watched, but at least she didn't find any hidden contraptions that did...who knew what either. A knock sounded on the door, followed by a gleeful self satisfied sense of anticipation from Summer through their bond. Crystal gave a fond roll of her eyes and opened the door. Summer stood on the other side "dressed" in nothing but a skimpy apron and a smile holding a purple fox with a long tail and lolling tongue. There was a glint to her -and Crystal knew it was a her- eye that reminded Crystal a bit of herself...

"Hi Crystal! Say hello to our new roommate, Egg-"

Crystal promptly shut the door in her sister's face.

"Hey!"
'Hey!'

'Summer we are NOT keeping that...thing anywhere near where we sleep.' Crystal thought, stepping away from the door to get rid of the stereo sound of Summer in her ear and in her head.

'Eggplant is not a thing! She's a member of our family and you need to get along!'

'I'm not going to "get along" with one of Nymeera's little spies. IT probably has orders to **** us, or steal our underwear!'

'Aw Eggplant wouldn't do that! Would you sweetie? No you would not! Eggplant is a good girl. Trust me, I can tell!'

'I seriously doubt that...' Crystal sighed heavily. 'You can unlock the door with your phone you know. You don't have to stand out there if you don't want to...'

'I know, but I didn't want to come in until you wanted me to...' Now Crystal felt a bit bad about shutting the door on her sister...even though she still didn't like that fox. She returned to the door and opened it back up.

"Hi Crystal!" Summer greeted her with a broad smile as though nothing had happened. God Crystal loved her... "Does this mean you want me to come in?"

"Yes dummy, I want you to come in," Crystal said with a grin she couldn't help.

"Annnnd you want Eggplant to come in?" Summer pushed, holding out the purple fox toward Crystal. She licked her chops and lolled her tongue out more, but Crystal just couldn't look past those beady little eyes. There was something about this fox she really did not like...

"I'm weighing my options."

"I'll take it!" Summer giggled, traipsing all over the room as she came inside. "Oooo! Look at this place Crystal! It's soo big! I love big!"

"I wish you'd be more careful with your words... We're on a perverted reality show with an audience watching."

"Huh?" Summer turned toward her smiling like the sun, nothing but positivity and warmth shone through as she guilelessly hopped on the bed. "Aww, I was hoping there would be little chocolates on the pillows like in the really fancy hotels."

"Chocolate isn't good for your figure," Crystal said offhandedly, eyeing the fox as Summer spread out on the bed and 'Eggplant' ruffled around in the pillows, looking like she was just getting comfortable, but Crystal thought she might be looking for those chocolates Crystal threw away. Eggplant's head turned toward Crystal, who was staring at her suspiciously...before giving a happy little yip and curling up next to Summer. On Crystal's pillow. Was there going to be a fucking problem? Crystal could almost feel the ice forming on her shoulders as she frowned deeply.

"Crystal," Summer faux whined, giggling and causing Crystal to thaw almost immediately. "Come to bed with me," Summer sang out, beckoning Crystal closer.

"You know the audience is gonna take that way differently than you mean it."

"I'm sure they understand what I mean. Now take off your clothes and come here!" Summer said with a jovial laugh that caused Crystal to crack a smile. Anyone who thought her sister was an idiot just wasn't paying attention. Crystal looked out the window, night had fallen and the hotel was quiet. Sleep wasn't a bad idea, it would've been a trying day for anyone, and Crystal always pushed herself harder than most. She had to, she had to earn her sister's love and respect. She knew she didn't deserve Summer, but Crystal couldn't live without her, so she had to do her best to earn every moment she was given. So she took off her clothes and slipped into bed with her too good for words sister. And for good measure dumped Eggplant onto the floor.

"Crystal!"

Damien returned to his room with a full belly and a nagging sense that he had forgotten something. With all the festivities, and Lauren and Summer being both good company and absolute knock outs in their aprons he could be forgiven for not remembering everything else that had happened. Unlike before Nymeera wasn't around to goad him and distract him and tease him about... Oh fuck.

Damien hurried into his bedroom and opened up the Master Control thermostat. 9:50pm, so he wasn't too late to set it himself. Good. Bad, he was probably too late to warn everyone about it and tell them to stay out of their rooms unless they wanted to get blasted by Nymeera's mysterious attitude adjustment spray.

• Brain Freeze Cold
• Pillow Side Cool
• Bedroom Warm
• Beachside Heat
• Hot as Fuck
• Random

Okay so the two extremes were probably not good. Damien didn't want to set the thermostat too high or too low. Fiddling around he found he could affect each girl individually or set it to affect everyone simultaneously. He didn't have time for customization so everyone was getting the same thing. He definitely wasn't going to let it go to random, no way was Nymeera going to let 'random' have everyone get off easy. Beachside Heat and Pillow Side Cool didn't sound so bad, but Bedroom Warm was his pick. It was directly in the middle, not too hot or cold, just a pleasant warm. There was the possibility that it would make everyone want to have sex...but Damien could live with that. The system beeped and Damien let out a sigh as the setting locked in, hoping that at least some of the girls escaped the consequences...
