On Clothing and Experiments

Vizrokoth was pleased with how things were going. Everyone's transformations had gone to plan, including the dyad splitting which involved creating a new body while moving the consciousness and soul from an old body. It also included the angel's transformation, who other than sulking from not getting to use her new angelic weapons on the demon, was in excellent shape. The demon had even managed to recover some valuable parts for future transformations from the fallen angel form of Janessa. Now that everyone had been transformed, and everyone except Castelilise was assembled on the couch, she could go to the next step.

"For this next vote, you need to have seen Felix naked." Vizrokoth said. "Therefore, Cameron, Kei Winters, Jamina, Z, Nox, and Janessa will follow me. The rest of you can wait here until we have conducted a very important vote."

Unlike last time, Vizrokoth had chosen to hold Felix at a separate location, both because of the nature of his transformation, and because she wanted to setup the idea of a club of insiders versus outsiders. They were separated physically from the rest of the group to emphasize that only those who had really gone for it in terms of seducing Felix would get to make decisions that would impact the harem, and therefore the rest of their lives...

Castelilise was frustrated seeing most of the women head out. She had just got here and already felt excluded from the rest of the group. Still, it gave her an opportunity to meet two of the other harem members one on one, and she was going to take it. Stepping out of the tub, the nereid approached the other two harem members. She smiled as she saw both of them reacted to her nude form, and the liberation it provided her.

"Hailey and Noah, right?" Castelilise asked while approaching them.

"Yeah... wait, how do you know?" Hailey asked, blushing from seeing the nereid naked. "You just got here."

"Oh, that bath massage from earlier gave me your names, along with some other rather... useful knowledge about Felix," Castelilise said in a teasing tone that was fast becoming her default tone of voice. "Also, told me all about Harem Hotel, but I still don't know much about either of you. Other than your names, I only know that you're here because you somehow wronged Felix."

"Well, yes, but that also would apply to you." Noah replied, clearly distracted by Castelilise's naked body.

The nereid loved the attention she was getting already. Noah had stumbled talking to her, and almost stuttered. Whether that was from her beauty, or the shock of her being naked in front of them, Castelilise was pleased either way. She paused a bit before responding to just soak in the reaction, and the power it gave her over those still ruled by society's expectations.

"Sure, I was in a fight with him in middle school and it went poorly for both of us," Castelilise said, her tone showing no sign of being bothered in the slightest by what was once a painful memory. "I thought I had gotten the worse of it in the long run but I'm not so sure anymore. How about you two, and your sins against Felix?"

"I just kind of ignored him." Hailey replied.

"And I failed him out of a cowardice at a critical time," Noah replied, her voice adopting a sad, distant tone. "But I'll never let cowardice hold me back again."

"Interesting... well, how about you help a girl out and tell me what happened while I wasn't here?" Castelilise asked, already starting to feel a little dry. "I sure hope there's more water in the main bunker..."

As they left the transformation room, and went into the halls of a much stranger version of the facility, the demon thought about how her season had been going. The initial phase of Vizrokoth's experiments in dyads had succeeded, and now it was time for phase two of the experiment. The personalities she had crafted for Benjamin and Cameron were meant to be training wheels of sorts, a separate personality to take the wheel while the original personality got used to a new body and the nature of harem hotel. Of these personalities, Cammy was by the far the biggest success, and the demon would ensure she became far more real as soon as possible. The male side of Cameron was still present, he just wasn't in control during sex, but was otherwise still helping to guide the actions of his partner.

By contrast, Benjamin Winters had been more complicated. Kei Winters had suppressed him, and the two had come into such conflict that Vizrokoth ended up letting the audience split them. Hence, Winters as a contestant was going to be the heart of phase two of the experiment. Could a contestant, with a week to get used to the competition, and being in a female body, succeed? Or would their past bad blood with Felix doom them? These questions made Winters as a whole a very important part of their experiment.

Then there was Z. The oni had been added because Vizrokoth found her interesting, and she could keep Zachary in line. There would've been another repeat of John Booker without her restraining Zachary's actions. However, she also contributed valuable data to the experiment, as even without a personality crafted by the demon specifically for the competition, Z had gotten used to both the supernatural and sexual parts of the show without missing a beat. However, the question had now shifted to whether Z could improve the performance of another contestant, in Nox, and how well she would do with various duties to perform. Z's performance would provide a lot of data, including on whether chaining a contestant to another could get them to behave.

These thoughts tugged at Vizrokoth as they finally arrived at the room Felix was being held in, which was a significant walk away from the initial transformation room. After unlocking the door, the demon lead the group into a room that sort of looked like the master suite, except with less furniture. In addition, the bed had been replaced by a contraption that held Felix in place before the group, naked and made to look something like the Vitruvian Man. Upon them entering, the demon motioned to have everyone stand around Felix, and looking down on him.

"I present to you your master," Vizrokoth said.

"Did you have to lock him up this way?" Cammy asked, as she looked on, worried at Felix's current state.

"Get used to him to being **** dear, as you now need to make a decision relating to that." Vizrokoth said while circling the group, who had by now all circled around Felix.

"You are gathered here to vote on one of three options which will dictate how much, if any, clothing Felix gets to wear going forwards." Vizrokoth said.

This was another important phase of the demon's project. She wanted to make the harem desire

"Restricting his clothing?" Kei Winters asked amused. "Are we sure he's the master?"

"It's unconventional but a superior should be comfortable around those who serve them," Vizrokoth said. "Now, to business. Your options are Nude Master, Fragile Clothing, and Clothing Privileges."

As Vizrokoth announced the options, each one appeared in front of the group in a hologram. The hologram explained that Nude Master would **** Felix to be nude all the time other than in combat, dangerous weather, or some other **** situation. Fragile Clothing, meanwhile, would cause any clothing Felix wore to, a significant portion of the time, suffer damage to the point where he'd often end up naked up or nearly naked in short order. Finally, Clothing Privileges would make it where harem members of certain status what, if any, clothing Felix got to wear on a day to day basis.

"Now that is amusing," Z said. "I assume as part of a dyad we share a vote?"

"Yes, more specifically, the part of the dyad that initiated the situation which let you see Felix naked is the one that votes," Vizrokoth explained. "Hence, Cammy, Kei Winters, and Z are the ones voting, the other halves of the dyads are just here because they still saw Felix naked."

While she explained this, Vizrokoth could see both Nox and Jamina try to look away, but they just couldn't. The demon smiled seeing the results of her work, as their change in sexuality and their overpowering libidos had worked wonders...

Felix had been watching the transformations happen from another room. It sort of was like the master suite, except the door was locked, there was even less furniture, and no bed. Instead there was this strange contraption that had something like a mattress but with various parts meant to hold someone's limbs. Other than that, the only thing in the room was the door to a basic restroom, and a bunch of hologram screens that allowed him to see everything happening in the transformation room. Why Vizrokoth had put him here, he couldn't figure out, but he could guess why he was locked in here.

The actual transformations had just left Felix with thoughts and questions he could nothing with. He wasn't sure what to think of two of the dyads being split up, or Cameron being okay with him having a harem. For that matter, what would the impact of Janessa redemption be, or Noah being attracted to him when she wasn't before? Even Hailey's transformation seemed to have a large impact, judging by the animated conversation she soon entered with Cameron, and the discussion she briefly had with Noah before hand. All of this caused him to pace around the room, trying to work off nervous energy while waiting for what would happen to him.

Then, out of nowhere, the contraption somehow grabbed him. It was in a moment where Felix wasn't facing it, which meant he didn't see the arms grab him, and could do nothing as they moved him into a pose. This pose had his arms stretched up and to his sides, while his legs were spread in an upside down V, the latter of which was especially humiliating for how it put his genitals on display. Then another arms came up and tore his clothes off in a way that was both terrifying and increased the humiliation he felt. Finally, a gag was put into his mouth, and while he could breath fine through his nose, he couldn't say much of anything.

Soon after, Vizrokoth lead the girls into the room, and explained the vote, along with why Felix had been separated from the others. After answering some questions, the demon asked, "With what you know now, what do you pick?"

The group huddled and whispered to each other in a way that sounded oddly similar to teenage girls. Whatever the result, Felix would find it humiliating, but he had hoped it would be Fragile Clothing. How common could clothing damage really be...?

Cammy came to a quick decision. While she loved on paper having Felix be nude all the time, in practice that'd be rather impractical. Meanwhile, Fragile Clothing she disliked because she didn't trust that the dangerous situations that destroyed Felix's clothing wouldn't also hurt him in other ways. Even with magic, real life wasn't an anime. Hence, she'd go with Clothing Privileges, and then decided to go around convincing the others.

It was easy for her to persuade Kei Winters to also go with Clothing Privileges. Nude Master might have been amusing but was just hideously impractical, and Winters had no interest in Fragile Clothing. The only note was how what status mattered for who controlled Felix's clothing decisions on a day to day basis. However, Kei thought it was probably based on VP, in which case the Winters and Cameron dyads would be just fine... although it also meant the oni would be the one in charge. Something that was going to be... complicated, as Cameron was about to find out.

"Why should Felix ever get to wear clothes?" Z asked aloud to everyone in the room. "Any situation he'd need clothes for he shouldn't be in anyway. As our master, he shouldn't be fighting or doing stuff outside in hazardous conditions, and as a human, he has no business doing things like that anymore. Besides, if we did make him a Nude Master, it seems to have precautions built in for **** situations."

"Because... well..." Cameron was stuck. They couldn't make an argument about Felix's freedom or what would benefit him, because none of the options provided that. Felix was the master in name, but other than for scoring purposes, really didn't seem to be in any other way that mattered. Besides, Z evidently looked down on humanity, a tendency both sides of Cameron suspected was enflamed by her recent transformation.

"If Felix, and humans, are so pathetic, than why not be the one making the decision?" The male side of Cameron asked, hoping to appeal to Z's ego. "You'd have the most status, assuming it was based on VP."

"Ah, but we don't know what the transformation means by status," Z said. "Besides, I wouldn't be the only making the decision in that case. By contrast, Nude Master is nice and... irreversible."

Rather than press their case, Cameron decided to switch targets to Janessa, who was easy. As an angel, her instincts tended towards setting up clear rules, and wanting to be a source of authority, both of which Clothing Privileges would reinforce. Meanwhile, the knowledge she was once James Smith had apparently been brought to the surface by being redeemed, and that a meant a kind of frustration with Felix that made her want more control over him. Hence, the final vote was ultimately not that stressful.

After the contestants submitted their votes to a hologram in secret, the final result went as expected: Three votes for Clothing Privileges, and one vote for Naked Master. Felix was embarrassed, and groaning at seeing these options play out, which Z and Kei Winters just chuckled at. Both sides of Cameron wish they could do more, but ultimately, these were the options in front of them, and Felix was going to have to live with the consequences.

"Excellent," the demon said, "Let me explain how this works. Anyone who has at least 40 VP gets to decide what, if any, clothing Felix gets to wear for the day."

The demon motioned, and the various hologram screens went away. "In the situation of a tie, the member, or members, with more VP have their preferences dominate. If clashing members have the same amount of VP, then the contestant who has done more erotic things with Felix will dominate instead."

These rules very much advantaged Z for the moment. In the longer run, Cameron realized this set of rules rewarded fucking Felix in as many ways as possible, or otherwise doing unique erotic things with him. But they wondered how this transformation would work after the season finished, given then presumably VP wouldn't matter. Would it be purely a matter of who fucked him the most?

"Do keep in mind, if someone reaches 100 VP, their preference will always come out ahead, unless dealing with another member with 100 VP, in which case the same rules apply," The demon said. "With all of that in mind, what do you want Felix to wear for the rest of the day, if anything?"

At that moment, Cameron felt a bit tension in the air, as if the decision they were about to make was going to be enforced through magical means, and reality itself was preparing for it.

"He should be naked." Z said.

"Naked indeed." Kei Winters concurred.

"Some other people could use VP so... naked." Cameron hid the real reason for their vote. Cammy really did just want Felix to be nude for a bit longer, while the male side of Cameron didn't want to be a spoil sport.

"Given traditional uniforms are off the table, and the nature of this show, sure, have him be naked." Janessa's answer betrayed hints of an internal conflict between her nature as an angel, who she was as James Smith, and her lust for Felix's body.

At that moment, Felix was freed from his restraints, and the gag left his mouth. After standing up, he was embarrassed and tried to shield his junk from view. However, he realized even his new thicker arms couldn't quite shield his dick from view, and that everyone there had seen him naked before.

"No clothing? Not even underwear?" Felix asked in disbelief.

Cameron gave an awkward smile they hoped look innocent in response, while Z and Kei Winters just grinned at the flesh before them. Janessa was the only one who chose to reply, "A superior owes things to their subordinates, and someone close to you almost lost everything from you not realizing those duties."

That caused Cameron to glare at Janessa. Was she really going to justify her preferences by bringing up Hailey's near elimination? "Really?"

The angel refused to answer, and gave her the same look of authority that James Smith often mustered. But unlike when they were in high school, Cameron just stared back. Smith had no claim to authority here, and had gotten where they were through exploiting a loophole.

"With that concluded, lets get back to the transformation room," the demon said. "I'm sure the rest of Felix's harem will appreciate seeing him naked."

As the harem filtered out of the room, Cameron stayed behind with Felix until everyone else had left. That caused him to ask, "Why? I know you like seeing me naked but-"

"Babe, you know how that vote was going to go," Cameron replied while leading him out of the room to join the others. "Besides, while Smith was an asshole about it, there are people who'd really benefit from seeing you naked..."
