Yet Another Introduction

Glitterdust

Eeeeeh! They’re fighting over ME! This is so exciting!

The morning meeting has been delayed due to the Producer pulling Harper to her office. None of the girls knew about this, so, when Scarlet brings Glitterdust to the Media Room, there was no meeting agenda items to distract. It’s not quite a drag out brawl over Glitterdust’s sudden appearance, but it could go that way very soon, despite Ariel, who looks super hung over, threatening and cajoling them to calm down.

Suddenly, Harper is plopped back into her throne. Disoriented for only a second or so, the sea elf scans the room. Standing up, she bellows “AH-TEN-SHUN!” That gets everyone’s attention. MY goddess is so commanding. Not her best trait.

“Thank you for that, Mistress, and welcome back to Harem Hotel. We have a lot to get to, so let’s begin. Shall we start with the elephant seal in the room, Mistress?”

With a nod, Ariel (whose tits got waaaaaay bigger than the last time Glitterdust was able to tune in) beckons the dragon forward. “Glitterdust, why don’t you introduce yourself to your new harem-sisters? I’m sure you know our questions.”

Oh, goodie! It’s time for MY introduction! Time to impress the others with MY awesomeness! “Hello, all! MY name is Glitterdust! I am a big, scary, sexy dragon! My former occupation was being a dragon, which is a great gig if you can get it, let ME tell you! The Mistress is MY MtF goddess that I have masturbated to a lot since the season started! Obviously, I want to have sex with MY goddess over there most of all, but there are so many delectable choices among MY harem-sisters that it would be hard to pick! Do I choose Josie? Tomboys are MY second favorite fetish type and she did bring ME into the fold, which I am very grateful for. Do I choose Skye? She is such a cute little princess type, and dragons are supposed to be into ravishing the princess types. Ooooh, is that Princess Aelene over there? She would be a good choice too. Actual princess! Oh, so many options!”

A little out of breath? This Zemeista form does not have good enough lung capacity! Glitterdust takes a few breaths, then starts again, “To answer the harem-sister questions, too, MY first celebrity crush was also MY last sexual conquest before being brought into MY goddess’s harem, though I suppose the threesome with Josie and Tina last night is technically MY most recent sex act! Her name is Ramona Bloodscream and she is the lead of the Wailing Lutenists of Avernus. The band was playing the monastery on their way to Nimlith Grove for a birthday concert and I found her wanting to scratch ‘Have sex with a dragon’ off her Bard Card. Good times.”

Princess Aelene (who is crawling around on the floor for some reason) speaks up at that, “This one remembers that concert. It was for this one’s obnoxious sister’s Sweet 160th Birthday. But isn’t the lead of the WLA a man?”

“She’s actually a succubus! She uses her gross boy form to appease losers who cannot handle a sexy woman leading a Heavy Bard troope! I had her change out of her gross boy form before I would let her touch ME!”

The other new girl snickers. She asks, “Mechanically, how does having sex with a dragon work? Did you turn into how you look like now, or...?”

“Oh, no! MY goddess gave ME this form! Never got good enough at turning into an elvenoid form! I shoved her into MY cloaca and told her to start massaging MY sensitive spots!”

Most of the girls look a little traumatized by the thought. Tina is confused because everyone is conversing in Common and she hasn’t figured it out yet. Princess Aelene just nods, as if she expected that kind of answer. The question asker girl just laughs, until she asks, “I assume she survived?”

“Yes! Mostly! MY first lair had a bunch of mountain sheep on it originally! They were so fun to stalk and kill and eat! Sheep are so dumb and tasty! Speaking of MY first lair, MY twin and I shared it! An evil eromancer came one day and zapped MY twin, Mindtaker, with a sex change spell! That awoke MY MtF fetish! Then we killed and ate the baddie! She is doing okay! I like her lifemate, Sunshine! They are so cute together! The desire for only female mates came later for ME! I’M not sure how to answer the most attractive parts of females? Former status as gross boys?”

By the time Glitterdust is done, she notices Harper sighing, covering her face in embarrassment. That won’t do! Ariel wraps up this part of the meeting with, “Thank you Glitterdust. Some rule reminders. Due to the nature of the Pack Tactics transformation, Glitterdust is a part of the harem but is ineligible to earn VP or the wish. She does get the obligatory tote bag. Contestants can earn VP off of her starting now as if she is a contestant. While she did make a bed of a sort in the Master Suite, she is welcome to sleep with whoever has their roommate out on a date if she would prefer. Now, can I trust you to not be too... you for the rest of the meeting?”

“Yes! I can try to be less ME! Would that make you feel better, MY goddess?” Seeing the Media Room computer, she ambles over to it. Time to see if MY log-in credentials still work. Ooooh, fingers make using computers waaaaay easier.

Tina

Tina pouts. I have no idea what’s going on. I guess Glitterdust introduced herself? And now she’s doing something on the computer? And Big Tittied Fish is yammering? Ugh! I don’t like this prank.

Josie

Josie gives her bunny-girlfriend a little shoulder rub as they all pay attention to Ariel. The mermaid continues the meeting, “Next up, the leaderboard! Let’s see how well everyone is doing a quarter of the way through the final week! Irene, if you please?”

The Media Room screen lights up and shows the home screen for Glitterdust’s Harem Hotel Hereafter account. Then it flips over to the actual leaderboard:

• Tina 136 VP 260 BP

• Daphne 120 VP 321 BP

• Skye 118 VP 250 BP

• Scarlet 117 VP 358 BP

• Josie 109 VP 150 BP

• Aelene 104 VP 14 BP

• Mattie 96 VP 74 BP

• Dinah 62 VP 9 BP

“As you can see, not a lot of changes from before Tina’s date. Tina did take the lead and both Josie and Aelene joined the ‘Currently Not at Risk of Being Unpersoned’ Gang. Mattie and Dinah, you still have your dates ahead of you, so you’re not totally screwed yet. Speaking of dates, Dinah, yours is tonight and you haven’t scheduled anything. No date is grounds for immediate elimination. Do you want to say something or...?”

“Oh, sorry,” the de-aged doctor nervously titters, “but I have been working so hard planning something perfect. I will get with you by 5 PM today to get things submitted? Is that okay?”

“Not giving me a lot of turn around time there. Mistress, that okay?”

“Not that it’s anyone’s fault, but I’m still a little exhausted from the last 2 or 3 days? Not sure how to count a 48 hour date. Anyways, I wouldn’t mind starting later and being able to relax in the meantime. Dinah, just let me know when you’re ready. I hope we have a good evening.”

“Great. I’m gonna lie down and rest my head for a bit. Hangovers are a bitch and a half. Text me if you need me.” With that, the mermaid splashes away. Dinah walks out, presumably to get a final plan organized. Harper slouches down into her throne, asking, “So, what’s everyone’s plans today?”

“Catching up on the parts of your season I missed, MY goddess!”

“Glitterdust, can you stop with that, wait, you have access to our season?”

“Yes, MY... uh... MY... uh... MY goddess, what title can I bestow upon you that both displays your grandeur and does not annoy you?”

“Just stick with Harper for now, okay, Glitter?”

“Very well, MY Harper, yes! As a paying subscriber to Harem Hotel Hereafter, I have access to the entirety of your season! And, since I am no long in a dimension where the episodes are delayed, I can catch up! Do you wish to watch it with ME, MY Harper?”

The way Harper’s eye is twitching is a little funny. She is definitely not used to a girl like Glitter. The sea elf manages a “No thank you, Glitterdust, but I appreciate the offer. Everyone else?”

“I owe Daphne a date, so I’m going to go get ready for that. Daph, wanna help?” The oread and the fish walk out together.

Tina screeches something in that baby Sylvan tongue. Harper answers her back. My bunny is blushing, staring up at me. “I guess I’m going to figure out how to get Blondie here to realize she’s speaking Elvish.” Josie gives her a peck on the forehead and the bunny beams brightly.

Skye looks to Harper, “If it’s not any trouble, my lady love, I could use your help fixing my rope thing. And I could use a little wife cuddling time. We can play with our toy together. Sorry. We really want this fixed before my date tomorrow. Is that okay?”

Scooping up Aelene in a princess hold, Harper nods her head. The elvish trio head out. Glitterdust is busy setting up the next episode she wants to watch. Time to go, I suppose. Don’t want to relive that opening ceremony nightmare again.

Mattie

The others left. Mattie stays behind.

“Hey, Shortstuff,” she asks, “Mind me joining you? Maybe start from the beginning? Need some deets. Could be helpful.”

“Shortstuff? I am a mighty dragon, weird elf I haven’t met before! I demand respect and nuzzles! Why should I allow you to watch MY goddess’s ascension to sexy MtF goddesshood with ME?”

Mattie sits in the seat beside her. “Bunch of reasons, actually. One, I’m the only one who is interested in watching it with you. You saw how the others bugged out. Do you really want to spend your first day or whatever on the show alone? Two, I think you’re hot and am hoping that this turns into hours of sex somehow. Three, maybe we can smooth down each other’s rough edges? There is a reason why I’m still on the bubble as it were. I can keep going, if you’d like.”

Mattie watches as the mouse cursor clicks back and selects the first episode.

“Wow. How’d you do that?”

“By being a mighty, sexy dragon!” the shortstuff beams, showing off a mouthful of curved fangs. Great. Teeth 2.0. How did Harper find 2 perfect hotties, outside of having super scary teeth? Mattie doesn’t even realize when the dragon crawled into the astral elf’s lap. She nuzzles into Mattie’s catsuit as the mouse clicks play.

Daphne

Daphne is standing outside of her One-Shot Room, waiting for Scarlet to build their date. Daphne is still a little hung over, so she hopes it’s something on the chiller end of a date. Her Beloved is carrying Aelene (who is mindlessly placing little kisses where she can reach) as Skye walks beside her.

“Oh, hey Beloved! I got a request for Irene. And, I guess, one for Zoe? Do you have a moment?”

Conveying the requests, Harper is happy to oblige. She gives Daphne a kiss and wishes them well on the date. Just in time for a certain oread to pull the mermaid into the prepared room. A seaside caravan stop? A lovely little inn and tavern. A coffee shop. And the beach.

“Whoa! That ocean is so pretty!”

“Yeah. This was the one part of my date yesterday that I thought you would enjoy. So I re-created it.”

“C’mon, let’s go swimming!”

She drags Scarlet into the water. Steam rises up around them. The glow around Scarlet starts to dim by the time the water gets to the oread’s breasts. Daphne lets go, then starts to sob a little. Scarlet gives her a hug after hobbling most of the way to the shore. “Hey, it’s okay. I got myself a floatie. Give me a minute to get it ready, then pull me to somewhere near where you want to explore. I know you really want to swim.”

Scarlet looks like she’s in some pain as she limps the rest of the way out of the ocean. “Sorry, fire monster bits did not like that much water at once. I’ll be okay in a bit.” Finding her floating bed, she pushes it towards the swallow end of the water. Daphne swims to steady it as Scarlet carefully slinks into it. The mermaid pulls the floatie to a nice area above some coral, then, happy as a clam, dives deep. She spends hours diving down, finding something cool, pulling it up, and showing Scarlet. She occasionally has to keep the floatie from floating away in the current, but it’s nice. Scarlet looks like she’s enjoying laying in the sun and talking when Daphne’s at the surface. After a while, her excitement to swim finally fails to her overindulgence last night. She pushes the floatie to a shallow enough point in the ocean that the mermaid could anchor it. She cuddles beside Scarlet and the two take a nice nap, floating on the ocean. Ah, this is great.

Tina

This dumb prank is soooo frustrating.

Josie is digging around, trying to help Tina figure out what’s wrong. It doesn’t help that she’s speaking either that gibberish that Tina should know or in something that sounds like that dumb Beowulf book she “had to read” in high school. Either way, she can’t understand her girlfriend and she needs this prank over with.

Josie is holding up a magazine. Tina recognizes the cover. Oh no, Josie couldn’t have found that. She looks away from the pretty girl on the cover (some celebrity she stopped paying attention to) and looked at the text. Phew. Not that magazine. This one’s written in gibberish.

Wait...

It takes way too long for Tina to realize that her inability to understand speech may also affect her ability to understand text. Once she does, she starts to panic, “<Josie. Don’t pay attention to that. It’s nothing.>”

Josie sighs. She opens the magazine “<Hwæt wille þū forhicgan þis?>”

How is she better at understanding me than the other way around? “<Just a dumb magazine I kept from high school. It’s nothing.>”

Josie pulls out a piece of paper, with Tina’s handwriting (how did I write that gibberish?!?!?!?) all over it. “<Hwæt is þis þonne?>”

“<Ummm, just some scratch paper, covered in gibberish?>”

Josie examines the paper thoroughly. “<Þis gelycnes is swilc getæl andswara to iunge cildisce boc.>”

Josie digs out another loose leaf sheet of paper and finds the page with the girls whispering. Tina wants to crawl in a hole and die. It looks like Josie is taking the “Do I love her?” quiz. Oh gawd. This is soooo mortifying. When she finishes, she grades her score and looks at the text confused. The wolf-girl mutters, “<Ic þence lufian hīe. Hū mæg ic hīe lufian?>” She tosses the magazine and just holds the bonny bunny. Josie is in tears.

Tina hugs harder. She’s confused, but she doesn’t want to see her wolf-girlfriend cry if she can help it. “<I love you, Josie.>”

“<Ic lufie þē, Buna.>”

Silvery light surrounds them. A melodious voice from above says, “<Okay, I took the joke too far. Let me fix things. Pause. Rewind. End the prank. And go.>”

Tina: Prank Over (English proficiency and the word “Elvish” returned)

Tina: + Sylvan proficiency

The world skips for a second. Josie is sitting again, looking confused. She mutters, “<I think I love her. How can I love her?>” in that Beowulf language (that suddenly is making more sense). The wolf-girl tosses the magazine again and just holds the bonny bunny. Josie is in tears, again.

Tina hugs harder again. “I love you, Josie.”

“<I love you, Rabbit.> Wait... when did you figure out you forgot English? Please say it was just now.”

“Um... Eilistraee took the prank away because you just confessed to me and she wanted me to understand it?”

Josie bellows at the ceiling, “Good. Now we’re even, you weirdo, for making my bunny cry! Don’t mess with her again or so help me...”

“Please don’t threaten my witchy patroness, Josie. I’ll need her power if one of you gets hurt. Can we just focus on the fact that we love each other?”

Tina gets tossed onto the bed with a giggle. Josie pounces on top of her. “Fine, Rabbit. Show me how much you love me.” And then the sexy predator starts to devour her.
