Morning Tension

Mark suddenly woke up as he was falling to the floor, with Chloe following after him. He grunted when he landed, and again when Chloe landed on top of his chest.

Mark asked, “You okay?”

Chloe nodded, “I had a padded landing. Are you fine?”

“I will be.”

The two stood up and saw why they had been shoved out of bed. Mira was being held by Flora, who was being held by Merida, followed by Hilde, then Merigold. Chloe turned to Mark and was about to say something when she burst out laughing, only for it to be muffled by Mark’s long golden blonde hair wrapping around her mouth, gagging her.

“Not a word.” A tendril of his hair separated and swatted Chloe on the ass. “Let’s go pay Aubrey a visit.” Mark swept Chloe off her feet while keeping her gagged and left the room.

The two entered the workshop a short time later to the sound of soft baas echoing throughout the room. It seemed Aubrey was fast asleep, and as she exhaled, she let out adorable baas that sounded contented. Mark put Chloe down and released her gag. Then he went over to Aubrey and, seeing that her breasts had recently reached emptiness, stopped the milking machine. “Hey, Aubrey, time to get up,” He said while gently stroking her face.

“Baaa?”

“Hmmm, maybe you need some motivation.”

Aubrey nuzzled Mark’s hand that had been stroking her cheek.

Mark turned to Chloe, “Want to help me give her motivation?”

Chloe smirked and nodded and, in a hushed tone, asked as the two moved Aubrey to the floor, “Which pair of lips do you want?”

Mark glanced down between Aubrey’s legs. So Chloe moved to sit on her girlfriend's face. As Mark went down on Aubrey, Chloe lowered herself as well. Aubrey jolted awake, surprised, to find Chloe gripping her by the horns, shoving her pussy in her face, and a tongue down below. Aubrey didn’t take long to join in and pleasure her girlfriend. She reached up and firmly gripped Chloe’s rear with her hands, while using her hair to pet Chloe’s bunny ears.

Aubrey was still in a semi-euphoric state, having recently climaxed and passed out as she received another one, leaving Chloe rather frustrated, at least until she found herself being slammed up against the wall with Mark’s tongue down her throat. The pain of having her back pressed hard against a stone wall sent equal jolts of pleasure throughout Chloe’s body. She felt Mark’s erection between her legs and saw that he had taken off his pants already. She reached down and adjusted his cock, getting impaled on it a second later, reveling in the roughness Mark was displaying with her.

FUCKING YES! HARDER MARK! Chloe could only scream in her head as Mark wasn’t giving her a chance to speak as he continued to ravish her. She couldn’t even adjust her head as he had pulled back on her ears and hair, gathering them into a fist and forcing her head back.

Chloe lost herself in the intensity of Mark’s gaze as he pressed her into the stone wall. That’s right, use me. Use me like your slutty little fuck bunny.

Chloe climaxed, but Mark didn’t relent. In fact, he did the opposite; he went harder and slapped her ass hard, while pulling his tongue out of her mouth for a moment to say, “You’re a bad little fucktoy, aren’t you? Cumming before her Master.”

Chloe could only squeal in pleasure as she nodded. Mark’s tongue was down her throat a moment later. He pulled them away from the wall and slowly lowered them both towards the ground. Once on his knees, he forcefully pressed Chloe into the cold stone floor, bending her legs above her head and holding them and her arms together. Chloe rolled her head to the side and saw that Mark had placed her right next to Aubrey. The thought of Aubrey waking up and seeing her like this both terrified and exhilarated her. She felt as Mark came inside her, causing her to quiver in delight at the thought of being used and bred like a bunny in heat.

+2 VP Group Sex with Master (Chloe, Aubrey)

After letting the intensity of his climax subside, Mark repositioned them so he could lie between Chloe and Aubrey. He pulled them both into a tight embrace. Chloe mused, “You know, I think Aubrey would have appreciated the creampie more.”

“Oh?” Mark looked down at Chloe resting her head on his chest. “I guess now would be a bad time to tell you I turned off your contraceptive then.”

Chloe pushed herself partially up, with a hand on Mark’s chest. Her eyes were wide, with a combination of anger, arousal, worry, and longing in them. She then saw Mark’s smirk and slapped his chest in annoyance as she lay back down. “I really should have known better than to think you were serious there.”

“Chloe, I could see in your eyes that you were excited by the prospect. Maybe I should just turn it off one day without telling you.”

“Mark, don’t. Full stop. Hard Red. I might find the idea of risky sex arousing, but I don’t want to find out after the fact I’m pregnant, without realizing it could be a possibility.”

“I understand. I promise, I’ll tell you first.”

Receiving his promise greatly reassured Chloe. “Thank you.”

“Besides, I think your girlfriend would be more than a bit miffed if you got pregnant with my child before her.”

“You’re probably right about that.” Chloe let out a slight chuckle. “Are you really going to knock her up in a few days?”

“If she wants to have sex, we will. I’m not buying the option to simply up her fertility, but it wouldn’t surprise me if she gets pregnant the first time.”

Chloe lay in his arms for a while before asking, “Are you really going to be able to handle all of us?”

“No clue, but I’ll try my best.”

“I’m just thinking that we’re going to end up being something like a small town all on our own. Mark Garret, the cult leader.”

“Hey! I’m not the cult leader. That’s Talia. I’m the cult fixation.”

“Baah! That was a bad joke.” Aubrey said.

Chloe replied, “About time you returned to the land of the living.”

“You try orgasming every fifteen to twenty minutes all night before complaining again, or I might just take **** for your sass.”

Mark looked at Aubrey and said, “Are you tired? According to the machine, you should have been well rested, even with it keeping you up.”

“Eh… It isn’t that I’m tired. More like my brain is fuzzy. Also, Mark, were you serious? You’re going to stop holding off with me?”

“If that’s what you want, then yes.” Aubrey nuzzled Mark’s chest in excitement. “Hey! Watch the horns!” Mark exclaimed as one of the tips came fairly close to his face.

“Sorry, still not really used to these,” Aubrey said, reaching up to touch them. She then started to finger other parts of her that had been altered by her sheep-girl transformation. “Do you really find these sexy?” Currently, she was pulling on her sheep ears.

“More cute, at least for the sheep characteristics. I do find them attractive and adorable, though.” Mark reached out and gently rubbed one of Aubrey’s ears, eliciting a nuzzle from her in response.

“Which of the animal-girls do you find sexy?” Chloe asked with a smirk.

Mark squeezed her ass in response. “Thinking about it… I guess it would be all of the other ones.”

Aubrey pouted, “So I’m the only one that’s not sexy.”

Mark flicked her forehead, “Hey, none of that. You’re plenty sexy. I was just talking about your animal-girl characteristics. Besides, I figured you’d be pleased to have the one I found different. Makes you unique. I also think it suits you a lot.”

Aubrey seemed mollified by his response, then curious, “What do you mean it suits me?”

“Well, the wool is soft and inviting. I think of cute and adorable little sheep, and a large flock.”

Chloe nodded along, “Agreed. I think it suits you as well, dear. Also, definitely cute. A little surprised your wool isn’t normally either pink or gold, to be honest. Not sure how I feel about you being a black sheep, though.”

Aubrey did a cute little pout, “Well, you best get used to it, since SOMEONE decided to tell me that they loved the black with the pink, and that I should combine them more while my breasts were massive.”

Chloe asked, “You sure that’s not the temporary TF talking?”

“Maybe a little, but I’m halfway tempted to make it permanent if I can because of that comment, Mark.”

Chloe pushed herself up, alarmed, “Don’t you dare! In fact, Aubrey, promise me right now that you won’t buy a transformation for yourself without first consulting with Mark or me, and you won’t do it without one of us agreeing to it. At least until your temporary TFs are gone.”

Aubrey glared at Chloe. “I’m not a child, Chloe.”

Mark cut in, “Aubrey, I actually think you should make her that promise. I’m sorry for the comment I made last night. I really need to be more careful while you’re all milky. It is true, though, I do like how you currently look. I just know that you really care about the color pink, and your current look isn’t exactly all girly girl. You even told me on our first date that you wouldn’t change making pink part of your outfits unless **** to. Besides, there is another reason you should make that promise.” Mark didn’t elaborate further but just grinned at Aubrey.

Aubrey rolled her eyes and sighed, “Fine. Chloe, I promise you I won’t buy a transformation without one of your two approvals until my temporary TFs are gone.”

Chloe smiled, then frowned, then glared at Mark. “Damnit! Seriously, Mark?”

Mark turned his head away defiantly, “I’ve already told you, Chloe, you really need to be more careful about asking others for promises. Hmm… that was a larger debt than I thought it would be, though. I can only imagine how large it was to Aubrey.”

“Umm…” Aubrey began. “I’m confused.”

Chloe explained, “I’m not surprised by that, Aubrey. As for you, Mark, I knew what I was doing. I didn’t incur any debt to Aubrey. She incurred it to me, which I’ve already forgiven, and YES, it was massive. You probably got a larger debt than you expected for helping me stop her from making a terrible mistake.”

“I see…” Mark said a little skeptically.

“You aren’t going to forgive the debt, are you?” Chloe asked with a glare.

“No. No, I am not. I will propose a solution to clear our debt, including that promise I made to you earlier.” Mark sat up, took out his phone, tapped it a few times, and passed it to Chloe. “Pick a number to set this to that you think is fair for how much you owe me.”

Chloe took the phone and looked at the screen, and saw it was on a slider for her contraceptive effectiveness. She pulled the phone close to her so neither Mark nor Aubrey could see it, and decided she’d actually like to know what that number was herself. She slowly moved the number higher, getting aroused by the idea. She kept moving it, feeling the scales tip closer and closer to being equal, and started to become alarmed with how high the number was getting. When she balanced the scales at twelve and a half percent chance to get pregnant, she immediately slid the slider back to zero.

“Umm.. I’m not sure I’m comfortable with that.” Chloe said, blushing.

“Oh? Is there a number you are comfortable with? I’m open to taking partial compensation this way.” Mark replied with an inquisitive smirk.

Hmm… is there a number? I mean, sure, it’s hot! Do I really want that, though? Also, it isn’t as if each number is equal in value. “Not for its fair value. I’m willing to barter, though.”

“Make your offer then.”

“One percent, in exchange for balancing the scales.”

Mark looked over the brim of his glasses in disbelief, “Ten, and I can tell that is still a bargain for you.”

“Two!”

“Five, final offer.”

“Deal, no take-backs.”

Mark chuckled as he shook his head, setting it to the agreed-upon value. “You know… I could still increase this just because I feel like it, right? As long as I tell you in advance, you’ve essentially just agreed it was fine for this to be at five percent permanently, you do realize that, right?”

Chloe got extremely embarrassed and turned away. Aubrey asked, “What were you two bartering over anyway?”

Chloe turned around to stop Mark from telling her, but Mark was too fast in his reply. “Oh, her pregnancy chance. Apparently, Chloe is turned on by the idea of being bred like a bunny in heat.”

Chloe scowled at Mark, at least until Aubrey burst out laughing, causing Chloe to go a deep shade of pink. “I told you, Mark. Chloe would eventually want to marry you and have kids. Maybe be nice and only keep it there until she gets knocked up the first time? Otherwise, she might have more kids than me.”

“Hmm… I’ll consider it, but I don’t know, it seems wrong to only have one or two lines of bunny girls to populate the planet with. Then again… Allie is having triplets, so maybe Chloe would just have a dozen right out the gate.”

“WAIT! Allie is pregnant!?” Aubrey exclaimed.

Chloe chuckled at her response, “Isa too, apparently.”

Aubrey threw herself at Mark, hugging him tightly. “CONGRATULATIONS!!!!” Aubrey let out a squeal that turned into an excited baa. “I’m so happy for you!” Aubrey was wiggling with excitement.

Mark weakly chuckled and said, “I would have thought you would be disappointed you weren’t first.”

Aubrey shook her head. “No. I’m disappointed I’m not pregnant, but being first wasn’t really important to me. I think most of us weren’t really looking to snag that away from Allie either.”

“Most?” Mark asked.

“Try all.” Chloe countered.

“Well… I mean… if I could have been first… I would have taken the opportunity.” Aubrey blushed. “But it wasn’t like I was trying to beat her to it.” Aubrey then brightened. “That also means you’ve lost one more reason not to do it with me.” Her sheep ears did this adorable little twitch because of her excitement. All of a sudden, Aubrey got really upset and gave Mark a slight shove. “What the fuck, MARK!?” Cassandra’s new rules were just added to his rulebook. “I don’t care if it was your other self, those rules aren’t okay!”

Chloe actually came to Mark’s defense before he could. “Aubrey, calm down. It isn’t his fault.”

Aubrey snapped back at Chloe, “Mary is still Mark! I don’t—”

“Aubrey, shut up and listen.” Aubrey actually shut up, surprised by Chloe’s commanding tone, especially since she was never rude to her like that unless it was really important. “Mark isn’t at fault. Last night, he tried using Hilde’s boon to modify a copy of my boon. He thought it might cause errors, but didn’t realize what that might mean. It was also worse than what anyone present likely thought would happen. Those rules are Cassandra’s doing. He won’t be able to remove them until that TF is fixed, and unfortunately, it will likely take most of this round before it is gone. Especially since it has to take a lower priority than fixing his BP transformation.”

Mark said, “Wait, why? The damage for that will have been done today, the second the BP store opens, no question. Why can’t it wait?”

Chloe facepalmed. “Mark, what do you think will happen the second the next round starts if that hasn’t been fixed by then? What will happen is that Cassandra will have already queued up options to buy with half the BP you gain from all of us.”

“Fuck.”

Chloe just shrugged, “I don’t actually see the issue, especially for you, Aubrey.”

“How isn’t this really baaad? Damnit! Already?” Aubrey hit the floor with the side of a fist.

“That’s why. The orgasm rule doesn’t really apply to you, as for giving Mark an orgasm? Well, you could use a push.”

Aubrey frowned at the end of Chloe’s statement, then asked curiously while tilting her head to one side. “How doesn’t the orgasm rule apply to me?”

“Because Mark is just going to hook you up to this machine again. Right, Mark?”

Mark nodded. “Yeah. You need to get used to being milked, Aubrey. So, you will be getting milked.”

“And if I refuse?” Aubrey glared at both of them with a frown.

Chloe crossed her arms. “Dear, first, this is for your own good. Second, do you think you’ll be able to if your udders aren’t empty when you go to bed?”

Aubrey crossed her arms, “This is baaa unfair.”

“Tough udders,” Chloe said, sticking out her tongue at Aubrey.

Aubrey took a deep breath. “Mark, you said she was hypnotized yesterday?”

“Yes, but she at least partially snapped out of it. Since she isn’t calling me Master.”

Another deep breath from Aubrey, “Then we need to fix it before I wind up slapping her for calling my breasts that.”

“Whoa, hold on there. Mark, if she’s going to threaten me with a good time, then maybe I should keep calling them udders.” Aubrey gave Chloe a **** glare that Chloe quickly withered under. “Never mind. Let’s fix it now. Like right now.” Chloe stood up and started to pull Mark to his feet.

Aubrey let out a hrumph, at least pleased her point had been made. “Oh, Mark, there was something… OH COME ON!” Cassandra must have added that rule because of this.

“What’s wrong, Aubrey?” Mark seemed concerned.

Aubrey stood up, smoothed out her clothes while replying, “I can’t tell you. It would break that stupid do your best rule, to even bring up the topic, apparently. I’m also pretty sure this topic is the reason for that rule, so I’m not going to risk pissing Cassandra off by breaking the rule.”

Mark frowned, “Fine, let’s go fix your girlfriend.”

The three returned to Mark’s room to find Kitty, Hilde, and Merida drying off, with all three of them having clearly recently gotten out of the bathing pool. Mark smiled, “Morning, you three.”

“Oi! Come on, Mark. This is gey no' cool. Ye hae tae be mair mindful o' just showin' up. Especially since some o' us dinna really hae ony breeks that are fit tae wear onymair.” Merida complained.

Hilde rolled her eyes, “So just get a pair you don’t like and hand them over, it isn’t that bad. Or just blow Master. I know I plan to.” Hilde licked her lips, thinking about what would hopefully be her breakfast. “Heck, I would be more annoyed if we had Mistress instead of Master.” Everyone looked at her curiously. “Nothing against you, as Mistress, Sir, but your dick is ideal for what we want to do. So we can practically make you orgasm on command as long as that’s what we want. Your body, while Mistress, is adaptable, but it doesn’t seem to change based on our whims.”

“You’re correct about that.” Mark nodded. “I took no offense. If any of you do prefer me in one body or the other, I won’t be offended either. They’re both me. I would probably be offended if you told me you didn’t like this form, though.”

“But not Mary?” Chloe asked.

“I know for a fact that every one of you is attracted to me like that because of the transformation.” Mark thought about it for a moment. “I guess I would be offended if you told me that as Mary because you would be lying and I would know it, so you would be doing it deliberately to insult me.”

Chloe nodded, “Fair point. Now, how about we fix my hypnotic suggestions before I’m brutally murdered by my sheep… I mean, in my sleep.”

“Whit noo?” Merida asked.

“Don’t worry about that last bit.” Mark said, “But we do need to handle her and Hilde’s issue all the same.” Mark looked around for Hilde and found her clinging to his leg, wrapped in just a towel. When did she get there?

Hilde looked up at him while rubbing her cheek against him. “Master, I think we should have Merida take a look at you, too.”

“What, why?”

“Call it a hunch. You said, essentially bypass the challenge we faced. Right? I’m not misremembering, am I?”

“I did say that, because that’s correct.”

“Master, why did you qualify it? Why say essentially? What was the exact offer?” Hilde questioned.

“I wouldn’t have to be restrained, and none of the accessories on the chairs would be used. I could just sit back and relax. Plus, things that affect my inhibitions shouldn’t be possible. I have a deal with Cassandra about that for the round.”

Hilde sighed, “Again, Master, precision is key here. For example, you having your hypno fetish turned up to eleven wouldn’t change your inhibitions. It wouldn’t break that deal because it doesn’t affect what you are and aren’t willing to do. Unless you’re telling me that Cassandra made it so you were immune to mental effects and not just messing with your inhibitions.”

“Well fuck.”

Kitty finally spoke up. “That would be a bad idea. I’m sorry, but Merida should probably not be allowed to hypnotize any of them.”

Aubrey frowned, “Why not Kitty?”

Kitty took a minute to respond, with her eyes a little unfocused as if she were buffering the information. “Aubrey, she got a competitive transformation when we left and couldn’t pay the toll. That, plus the new rule, could go poorly.”

The room went quiet as everyone took in that fact, and then Hilde saw Merida start to move her arm up into the air with her thumb resting on her middle finger. “Merida, don’t even think about it. I can and will incapacitate you before you can finish speaking a word, let alone snap your fingers.” Hilde had spoken with such cold detachment that Merida felt hurt by it, considering their recently formed bonds.

Mark said, “How about we all relax a bit?”

Chloe said, “Poor choice of words, Mark.”

“Noted.” Mark stared at Merida like she was a predator about to pounce. “Now, Merida, I would like to remind you that while Cassandra’s rule applies to contests like the challenges, the entire show is a game. Do you intend to throw the more important game to win the challenge? Don’t say anything, just nod or shake your head, since I can feel Hilde tensing up.”

Merida shook her head. However, everyone noticed that her thumb and middle finger were still pressed together.

“Good. Now, how about you stop holding your fingers like you’re about to snap? Because I thought I made it very clear what I would do if you tried that. Not to mention you would likely lose VP just for the attempt on me.”

Merida took a deep breath, nodded, and separated her fingers slowly. She took a few more deep breaths, and then Mira appeared next to her.

Mira whirled on Merida and said, “ABOUT FUCKING TIME YOU WEE CUNT!” Mira slapped Merida upside the head and then slowly calmed herself a bit. She turned to Mark. “Now, I’ll be speaking for the wee cunt as Hilde still seems ready to rightfully bitch slap her into the fucking floor if need be. I have another piece of good news for the big dick in charge. See, I’m not currently a member of your fucking harem. Meaning I don’t have to follow your damn rules, I’m not competing in this craptastic challenge, and I’m not competing in this version of this shitshow.”

“That… is actually good news,” Mark replied.

“Well, time for the fucking bad news. Merida REALLY fucking wants to hypnotize the lot of you right now. Hilde's threatening her made it really bad. I’m pretty sure the cunt is going to cave in a moment of weakness if we don’t do a damn thing about it.”

Chloe spoke up, “Okay, I thought about suggesting it last night, but I feel like it might be needed now. Merida, I want you to promise me you’ll follow through on the promise you made to Mark last night.”

Merida didn’t move for a long time. Then nodded.

Chloe said, “Not good enough.”

Mira said, “She told me that the nod was an agreement to the fucking promise, but she’s afraid that if she opens her stupid fucking mouth, she’ll do something utterly moronic and get rightfully bitchslapped for it.”

Merida nodded again, and this time Chloe could tell the promise took hold. “Okay, that seems to have worked. It isn’t foolproof, but it should make it much harder for her to do it without Mark’s permission.”

Mira let out an annoyed grunt, “Great, now. I have a fucking solution, but not to the grand dick over here possibly being mind fucked. Merida will induce a trance in the required people except for old big dick here. She will then shut the fuck up and let him fix you, since he isn’t bound by the competitive rule. Also, Meribelle…” Meribelle appeared a second later. “You know what to do.”

“Oui, I do boot, I also do not take ordairs from vous.”

“Just get it fucking done.”

Meribelle grabbed Kitty’s hand and was about to leave with her, but paused, took off Kitty’s panties for her, and gave them to Mark. Then the two left.

Mark asked, “Is her mental speed really that hampered?”

“Hell yes. She isn’t stupid, thank fucking god. Just really god damn slow to process anything. That is likely because she was so low on fuel when she went to sleep.”

“Wouldn’t blowing me have been more effective?”

“No. Trust me.” Mira said, shaking her head. “No fucking way would that have been a good idea. Later, yes, once she can process her thoughts fast enough.”

It was then that Aubrey’s hair decided it was a perfect time to hogtie her, causing her to stumble to the floor. “BAA damnit! Could someone baaa ba get out of this?”

Chloe nodded and started untying her, but it wasn’t easy.

Mira said, “Guess that makes Hilde first.”

Mark got a text message. He checked it, figuring it was from Cassandra.

Cassandra: As a courtesy, I figured I’d warn you that while it's not impossible to fix what happened to Hilde and Chloe, it will be very difficult. Far more so than you realize. The effects are temporary, so I caution you about trying to fix them and accidentally causing permanent damage. I won’t stop you from trying, though.

Mark swore, “Fuck.”

Mira raised an eyebrow, so Mark showed her the message. “There’s the manipulative bitch of a host I know and hate. I take it you don’t want to try then?”

Mark shook his head, “No, it’s too risky.”

“That will make it fucking difficult to operate then.”

“Hilde, could you go sit with Merida while I help Aubrey?”

“Okie dokie, Bossman.”

Hilde flung herself at her girlfriend’s magnificent chest pillows. Merida leaned back to make it more comfortable for Hilde to use her as a pillow.

Mark went to untangle Aubrey. “Damn, this is a hassle. I’m half tempted just to cut it.”

“Baaaaa, don’t. Cutting it is unpleasant. Learned that baa hard baa.”

After several minutes, Aubrey was free. Mark motioned for everyone to gather up. They decided to head to the lounge together as it had better seating for a talk. Mark absentmindedly made breakfast for everyone, during which Aubrey found herself restrained to the chair she was sitting in. When he finished preparing breakfast, Kitty and Meribelle had joined them.

Mark sat down and said, “Okay, go ahead and dig in, but I think we all need to have a talk. Kitty, are you feeling better?”

“Mrow, very much so, Meowster.”

“Good. Now I think there are two things that people here might not want to hear. I’m not sure if you can even do either of these or not. First, I think we need someone to replace Kitty as team leader.”

“Nya! Meowster, why? Nya!”

“It's that, or I essentially have to stay with you so you can think properly.”

Chloe asked, “Let’s put a pin in this topic, and you tell us what the other thing is.”

“I think that maybe we should give up on the team objective and accept we’ll lose that one, except maybe through luck.”

The table erupted into outrage of, absolutely nots, no way in hells, what are you thinkings. When the women realized they might have gone a bit overboard, Chloe asked, “Mark, please explain, though I think you are right, we can’t give up because it would break Cassandra’s new rule.”

“I think we should prioritize challenge points over the team objective. Which is why I thought my plan might not break the rule. There are different ways of doing your best in the challenge. I mean, you don’t see Kitty trying to hoard all the items suddenly, even though that would put her in a much better position in the challenge. I think the rule is mostly intended to prevent you from going easy on the other team or sacrifice plays. So as long as what you are doing genuinely advances your own chances, it should be fine.”

“That… would likely be okay, but I still don’t like it,” Chloe replied.

“I hate it!” Merida cried out, “Nae way, I’m just gaun tae gie up while there’s a braw chance o' victory.”

“Have you all looked at the scoreboard?” Mark asked. “That is the position of everyone as of last night. I’m not sure why Brooke is on the board, though.”

Mira replied, “The drunken slut is obviously part of your damn harem now. We encountered her statue in the Greed dungeon yesterday. She had weird abilities. She seemed like a fighter but could also hit the other statues to repair them.”

Mark continued, “I’m worried that the other team might have too large an advantage at this point. We’re down, Ellen, and now they have an extra team member. Instead of focusing on the team objective, I think we should focus on rescuing Ellen wherever she is and simply rack up as many CP as possible. Some of the quests we have gone on have given little CP compared to some of the options we could have gone on.”

Chloe frowned. “Mark… if that’s the case, who were you thinking should take over for Kitty as team leader? I ask as I have a sneaking suspicion it’s me.”

“You would be correct.” Mark nodded.

“So you would be asking me to give up 10 VP, to Sadie of all people, no less. Since you want us to forgo the team victory. That isn’t happening. I won’t disagree that maybe we should focus on CP, though.”

Mark frowned, “There’s an issue with doing that. Kitty and Hilde need to stay with me. Hilde, pretty much at all times, so she can fix the glitches.”

Hilde rushed over and sat in Mark’s lap. “Happily, Master. Also, while I appreciate the food, I’d really like my favorite meal instead.” Hilde smiled as she placed a hand on Mark’s crotch.

Kitty frowned, “I see what you mean, Meowster. Our team is in a really bad spot after yesterday. Also, how did the swap affect your gear?”

“It effectively didn’t. The choker is now just a chain necklace, the corset a belt. Stuff like that. Everything does essentially the same thing, though. The serving tray was the biggest difference, but not that much different in the final result.”

“Hmm, well…” Kitty started, “I know you think we should give up on the team victory, but I think we still have a good chance. Also, a bunch of base-building tasks popped up. Here are my thoughts. Chloe, you stay here and work with the orcs we have at the base to build up our defenses, and work on any item upgrades you can. Everyone else will travel together for most of the day.”

Aubrey said, “Baa, I have to baaa the orcs.”

“I know Aubrey. That was part of the plan. I’m hoping we can find and help Ellen today as well. We need her back. Merida and Meowster will remove as much of the cursed gear as possible today.”

Mira said, “Actually, Kitty, you probably shouldn’t have them remove your vibrating piercings.”

“Why nyat?”

Mira explained, “Because you’ll need regular orgasms, for the new rule. If Mark uses the trigger phrase to make you feel fucking everything, I’m willing to bet it will count for double. It will cut down on the time you have to masturbate or have someone fuck you as well.”

“Fine, but the rest of them get removed. Aubrey, I want the sending ring, so I can coordinate with the whole team better, in case things change.”

Aubrey grumbled but slid the ring over to her.

Kitty continued after putting on the ring. “Hilde, you are to work on repairing the damage to Meowster’s TFs as much as possible. I’m debating what you should use that favor on Meowster, but I think it should be to fix Aubrey’s hair TF. If that ties her up mid-battle, we would be screwed. Also, Meowster, I want to test something before we go.”

“What?” Mark asked.

“I want to blow you. I actually think my transformation might end up being a boon rather than a hindrance if used properly.”

Mira looked at Kitty like she was an idiot. “Kitty, Merida is keeping her mouth shut as much as possible to keep her promise to Chloe, but all four of us think you might need another dose of cum if you think that, the TF is a potential boon.”

Kitty shook her head, “Nya, you don’t get it. I’m pretty sure I’m at normal thinking speed right now. At least close. That’s the thing, though. It isn’t like I burn up the fuel as I think. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have been super slow this morning. The more I consume, the faster my thoughts seem to get. I haven’t tried Meowster’s cream yet, and that’s supposed to be particularly effective. I might be able to think faster than normal.”

Mira frowned, “Hmm… well, that actually would be damn useful.”

“Because I don’t have panties on, because Mark made it clear he likes women going commando.”

“Fine. Let’s meowsy.”
