If you spend enough cash at the carnival games

“Oh, Daddy!” Sylvia flounced across the courtyard, twirling about like a faerie princess. She batted her eyelashes at him and interlocked her fingers, framing her cute-as-a-button face. “That was so much fun, wasn’t it? We went so fast!”

“Hard to believe that she actually felt sick when we were going so fast,” Rose said, amused. “Makes a girl wonder if she really felt like throwing up, or if that was just a clever ruse on her part in order to elicit sympathy.”

Rose knew that was her being excessive paranoid, but she also didn’t trust Sylvia as far as she could throw her. From one blonde to another, she could just smell it!

“We should probably apologize,” Dawn said, looking down. “I was just trying to have a bit of fun with her, as a bit of karmic punishment for what she did to Morgana, but…”

“But I’m fine!” Morgana blurted out.

Kim leaned over the counter, shielding her chest using the barrier. She had a smile on her face as she watched Sylvia enjoying herself with Nick.

“You know… I wouldn’t say they look exactly like father and daughter… but they sure look close, don’t you guys think?”

The other girls took a look at Sylvia’s beaming grin. Nick was smiling too, although his smile was a more reserved one that signaled he was tolerating Sylvia’s amusement and excitement. Still, they were both enjoying themselves.

Dawn smiled too.

“I think I know what we can do next,” she said, hopping off the bench and walking over to the other two. “It should be a lot of fun, and we’ll all get the chance to chat with each other!”

“Oh? That should be interesting,” Rose said, curious. “Come on, Morgana!”

She grabbed the goth by the wrist, practically dragging her after Dawn.

Across the park, Kim had suddenly gone from watching Nick with Sylvia and the others, to watching the rest of the girls pull into the station on the roller coaster.

“Wooo! That was fun!” Holly skipped off the ride, her small, petite breasts bouncing slightly in the exposed air. “Kim, you should totally try it! It’s such a fun experience, going on a roller coaster without your top!”

“Speak for yourself,” Mary said glumly. She shielded her boobs with her hands, trying to keep them pinned to her chest. Because of their size and bounce, that was easier said than done. “My boobs kept smacking me in the face.”

Holly rolled her eyes. “You know, Mary, I remember when you were as flat as a board. And I think you had a bit of breast envy yourself back in those days.”

Mary turned red. “I-I did not! I never cared about physical qualities! I knew that He loved me just the way I am!”

“That’s a good way to think,” Dani said, patting Mary on the back. The redhead jumped slightly at skin on skin contact with the tomboy, and turned to look at her. Dani was flustered, too. She’d primarily gone up to Mary to keep from confronting her feelings on the matter of Carly.

Being sandwiched between the twins had gotten her pretty worked up.

Mary went to go retrieve her top, and brought Holly’s back with her. The two girls put their clothes on (in spite of Holly’s protests to the contrary) while Kim watched in amusement.

“What are you girls planning to do next?” She asked. “There are other roller coasters, you know. And I know that they aren’t as sexual as a lot of the other rides here.”

“Unfortunately,” Holly said glumly. This Amusement Park, where sex came at such a premium, was one of the most fun experiences she’d ever had. It was like her own little slice of paradise. If she was still in the harem, she would have insisted on taking Nick to many dates here.

“I have an idea,” Gina said lazily, sidling over to the girls with a playful grin on her lips. “How about-”

“I think you’ve done enough,” Marley cut in. “…No offense, sorry. I’m just feeling a little… under the weather.”

She shied away from the hurt expression on Gina’s face.

“…And I’m not sure I want to be going on anything really perverted,” she added, knowing that Gina would probably drag them onto the really raunchy shit.

Mary nodded in agreement.

“Marley’s not as good at handling the intense rides as me,” Carly teased her sister, elbowing her in the side. “You know, if it was up to her, she’d probably be riding something boring and slow, like the Teacup Ride, ha!”

“The Bracup Ride,” Kim muttered under her breath.

“Hm?” Carly glanced her way, but Kim quickly shook her head.

“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it,” the schoolgirl replied, cracking a smile. “But if you girls want an intense ride, I know a good one. Went on it with Nick back on our date! And it’s not even a perverted one, either!”

“Really?” Dani asked curiously. She took out the map. “What’s it called?”

Kim glanced away, her face turning a little red. “The Twerk and Spin.”

THAT was quite a name.

Mary wasn’t sure she wanted to go on a ride like that. She swallowed, and looked at the other girls. They were all excited for it, though.

“Oh, I think I found it,” Dani said, scanning through the pamphlet. “This is it, right?”

She pointed it out to Kim, who nodded in confirmation.

“Yup, that’s the one,” she agreed. “Not too far away.”

The girls headed out of the Beast with Two Backs, down the platform and out to the other rides.

“Maybe we can stop by the Strength Tester?” Dani suggested with a grin. “We can get some prizes with my strength!”

She held up her arm and flexed her muscles. It was a bit comedic to see, honestly, because she didn’t really have any- her arm was soft and smooth like silk. But it was the strength inside that mattered, really.

At the same time, the other girls were all laughing and enjoying themselves, too. Carly was secretly happy. She remembered how traumatized Dani had been when she lost her muscular body, and how fondly she’d thought of her figure when Dakota had briefly allowed her to reclaim it.

Now, she could even joke about it. That showed a lot of growth on the tomboy’s part. Or maybe she’s just become resigned to it, Carly thought darkly, biting her lip. It could be like Stockholm Syndrome or something.

That was a sad, scary thought. But Carly couldn’t avoid thinking that way, even though she would rather wish that her friend had genuinely come around to liking her new figure, as unlikely as that might have sounded.

She could only hope.

On the topic of the Strength Tester, the other group had headed in that direction as well. But no one here had the arm strength to try and put it to the test. They were here for a different reason, in fact!

“You wanted to do the carnival games?” Nick asked, surprised.

“Yep,” Dawn nodded. “It’s all in good fun! We get to enjoy ourselves playing the games, while hanging around and talking with one another! Don’t you think that’s just a blast?”

Nick nodded thoughtfully. He could definitely see the appeal of that. “I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to try a few out,” he relented. “It can give us all some time to catch our bearings, too.”

“Exactly,” Dawn said, cracking a smile.

“I want to play!” Sylvia said, her eyes sparkling. “These games all sound so fun!” She rushed down the large alley, towards one of the tables. “Look, it’s so cool! The Cockring Toss!”

Nick didn’t even have to see the game to have a good idea of what that one was about.

“Well, Dawn, that’s quite an interesting game,” Rose said, jostling the cat girl in the side.

Dawn turned scarlet and hung her head, staring shamefully at the ground as her face burned. This was exactly what she didn’t want to have to go through.

“W-well… it’s… you know how it is,” she stammered, not sure what else to say, honestly. “Just forget about it, alright?”

Yeah, like Rose would do THAT.

“No, no, it’s fun. You’re the expert at games like this, right?” She goaded the other girl with a playful smile. “Aren’t you going to enjoy yourself just a little bit?”

“I-I’m fine with… doing my best,” Morgana stammered. She felt like she was stepping into a sex shop with some of these games. The one Sylvia was standing in front of, there was a sea of… of… false penises! Standing up behind the counter like a forest!

“So how do these games work, huh?” Rose asked curiously as she approached the counter her fellow blonde was standing at. “Do we have to wager BP or something? Because I can’t imagine we can just play for free. That kind of removes the point of a game, don’t you think?”

“I guess Rose has a point,” Nick said. He turned to Kim, who was trying very hard to seem invisible next to the collection of dildos. “How do we pay for this?”

At a real Amusement Park, if they had carnival games, those games would cost a bit of money up front. It was fair play, because otherwise someone could just keep trying until they won a prize.

But since no one here had any spending money besides BP, that was a little bit difficult to enforce, sad as it might have been.

“It’s fine, it’s fine,” Sylvia laughed. “These games are just for fun!”

“Oh, so there aren’t any prizes?” Rose looked a little bummed out to hear that. “That’s no fun.”

“Sure there are,” Sylvia shrugged, nodding to Kim. Kim handed her three rings to play with. “But they’re not exactly the most expensive things in the world, given that Dakota can just create them out of thin air and everything.”

That was a valid point, Nick supposed. He also had a good idea of what those prizes might be, too, given the theme of this place.

“Let me guess,” Morgana sighed, hanging her head in exasperation. “The prizes are sex toys, aren’t they?”

Sylvia smirked. “That predictable, huh?”

“You and Dakota have the same lack of subtlety,” Nick dryly replied. “What’s the point of a game like this, anyway? Just to replicate an Amusement Park, with games that nobody would ever want to play given the subject?”

“I want to play!” Sylvia protested. “Just watch! I’m going to get one!”

She flung her ring with a snap of the wrist.

It struck one of the dildos and bounced off at a sharp angle, smacking Kim in the forehead.

“OW!” Kim exclaimed, rubbing her head. “Hey, watch it! That was really close!”

“…Sorry,” Sylvia said, smiling apologetically. “I didn’t mean that. Don’t worry, I’ll get it next time, just you watch! I’m gonna win me a prize!”

The next ring she tossed bounced back and hit Morgana in the eye.

“Sylvia, I’m begging you, please stop throwing,” Nick pleaded. She only had one ring left, and he was afraid of what would happen. Knowing Sylvia’s track record so far, she’d probably end up hitting him in the deck.

“Let me try, at least,” Dawn said, holding out her hand.

Sylvia sighed. “Come on, please?”

Dawn stared blankly at her and slowly shook her head from side to side. She beckoned her fingers, silently urging the other girl to hand over those rings.

Sighing in exasperation again, Sylvia handed the ring over.

Dawn turned towards the sea of dildos.

“A game like this is simple, in fact,” she said, adjusting her glasses. “All you need to do is calculate the diameter of the target, the moving distance of the ring, the proper angles of the throw, it’s all important that way. Once you know all that? Well, there’s no way you can lose!”

She adjusted her posture and snapped the ring forward. Rose whistled as it sailed through the air, and landed right on the head of one of the dildos, just as Dawn predicted.

Then it jumped off like a hand on hot metal and landed on the ground.

Dawn stared blankly at the ring. Then she slowly raised her head and turned towards Kim, who glanced away. Her face shimmered with guilt.

“I, uh… I don’t know,” Kim stammered, averting her eyes.

“These games are rigged!” Dawn exclaimed angrily, as if there could be any doubt.

Kim could only awkwardly shrug.

“Of course they’re not rigged,” Sylvia lied, rolling her eyes. “Maybe you’re just not as clever as you think you are!”

Dawn wanted to take her earlier apology back.

“Come on!” Sylvia clapped her hands together. “We have other games! Like the Milk Knocker!”

She skipped over to the next stand, where Kim was standing again. Three milk bottles with Mary’s face plastered over them stood in a pyramid a few feet behind the counter, just waiting for someone to peg them with a ball.

Sylvia turned to Dawn, her eyes sparkling. “Dawn… can you win me a prize?”

Morgana just blushed. “Why, um… why do you want a sex toy?” She finally asked.

Sylvia scoffed. “It’s not just sex toys,” she said. “Show ‘em the prizes, my girl?”

Kim nodded. She reached behind the counter and picked up a glass box, which was filled with tiny plastic figures.

“Whoa, hey!” Morgana’s eyes widened. “Anime figurines!? Wait… those are…”

“It’s us!” Rose exclaimed.

Every girl had a figure of their own. They were about ten inches tall, and each dressed in a sexy outfit. Even Holly had a figure, smiling brightly in her maid costume! Marley had one too, posed in such a way she went along great with the Carly figure.

“Carly’s figure can change her clothes, and comes with multiple outfits,” Sylvia explained excitedly. “And Kim’s figure, you can remove the schoolgirl uniform to reveal the lingerie underneath!”

“Let me guess,” Nick said, cutting her off. “That’s the case for all the girls, isn’t it?”

“No, not at all!” Sylvia exclaimed. “…Mary’s figure doesn’t come with underwear.”

Nick flicked Sylvia in the forehead.

“Daddy!” She whined. “I want a doll! Please? I want a Marley… no, no, a limited-edition Mimi! Please?! Please make Dawn win it!”

“Not a chance,” Dawn hissed. “I’m going to win my own figure, and then melt it down into a puddle of PVC!”

Sylvia’s jaw dropped.

“No!” She wailed. “You can’t do that! These are special figures! They need to be kept together as a set! You can’t destroy one!”

“Can’t Dakota just make more, though?” Rose asked. She didn’t really get the appeal of the dolls. She picked up her own figure, clad in that red dress she hated, and turned it over in her hands.

She scoffed. “Meh. I look better than this piece of junk.”

Nick rolled his eyes. Of course that was what Rose cared about.

“I think they’re fun,” Morgana mused.

“If you ask me,” Kim said, glancing down at the figures, “I’d suggest you guys play for them. But that’s just me.”

She smiled at Nick and batted her eyelashes. “You’ll win mine, right?”

Nick raised his eyebrow. “…Really, Kim? You’re playing it this way, huh?” He knew when she was trying to make a hard sell by this point. Even if he didn’t have to spend any money for it. She was teasing him like Rose, at this point!

“Please?” She cooed.

“Fine,” Dawn scoffed, rolling her eyes. “I’ll do it. Give me some balls.”

Kim nodded, and set three balls down on the counter next to the glass-cased figures.

Dawn picked one up and wound up her hand. Doing the calculations in a couple of seconds, she flung the ball forward and hit the three bottles right in the center.

The bottles didn’t even move. The ball bounced off it like it was hitting a brick wall.

Dawn stared at it as it dribbled down to a stop and rolled back to the counter. She slowly lifted her head and stared at Kim.

For a second time, Kim couldn’t meet her eyes.

“…Uh-huh.”

“Hey, well…”

“Look, I know carnival games are usually rigged, but this is kind of ridiculous,” Nick protested, while Rose just burst out laughing.

“Oh, this is too rich! Dawn, you’re the best!”

“What else?” Dawn asked, crossing her arms in frustration. “Wait, let me guess! The dart game, that one’s rigged too, right?”

She stormed over to the next stand, and grabbed a dart from the counter. She flung it dead-on at one of the inflated balloons, which perfectly resembled a giant boob.

The dark hit dead-center on the nipple, and bounced right off, falling harmlessly onto the ground.

Kim cleared her throat. “Yes, well… these games can be a little difficult to win, but I promise they’re nice and fair…”

Dawn was having none of it. There was nothing she hated more than a cheater. She grabbed another dart.

“Drop your arms,” she said, turning to the topless girl. “I’ve got a few more balloons I can aim at.”

“Hey! Come on! I just work here!” Kim whined.

“Those aren’t really balloons,” Rose pointed out. “They’re a little too small for that.”

Kim shot her a dirty look.

“Okay, guys, I think we’re all getting a little too heated up,” Nick said, trying to play peacemaker. “Kim, what’s going on? Why are these games all rigged? Well, aside from the obvious, I mean.”

Kim blushed and looked away.

“Well, uh… Sylvia?”

Nick turned to Sylvia. She was doing a great job of not making eye contact with anybody, studying the grime underneath her fingernails.

“Hm?” Sylvia looked up, batting her eyelashes. “Whatever could you mean, Daddy?”

“Sylvia…” Nick crossed his arms over his chest. He wasn’t amused.

“…Alright, alright,” Sylvia sighed, rolling her eyes. “So… these games aren’t exactly free to play. You gotta, um… put something up first.”

“BP, right?” Dawn sighed. “I should have known.”

Sylvia shook her head. “Come on, my girl,” she giggled. “This is Harem Hotel! Something like BP won’t get you very far in a place like this! We want you to spend those on in-game services! No, the bets, well… that’s a little complicated…”

Dawn narrowed her eyes.

“…Make it simple,” she said coldly.

Sylvia swallowed, and smiled. “Well, uh… you ever played strip poker?”
