Some Quests Assigned, Some Quests Pursued

Tegan

Tegan was about to set off as the blue freak and her ditsy assistant disappear, but Mona calls her back. She decides to listen to her fiancée.

“Hey, so, I have some minor quests I want to assign, if everyone is cool with it. Craig!” Mona starts, shouting at the exiting gnoll, “Yours is ‘Apologize and Mean It!’”

Craig’s Week 2 Minor Quest: Apologize to Mona for your behavior sincerely.

Reward: Xd6 XP, where X is the number of days left in the round

The asshole snarls, then walks off. Obviously, he’s not getting that done soon. Mona sighs, then looks to everyone else. “For everyone else, I want to ask, instead of just saying something and have Tyalangan futz with it like she did with Tegan’s last week. I’m sorry about that, Tegan. Jenny, I was thinking of something like ‘Find your place here,’ you know, ask you to figure out if you want sexy times with me or just being a friend? That sound reasonable?”

“Yeah, Mona. I need to figure that out anyways. Thank you for being open to us just being friends.”

Jenny’s Week 2 Minor Quest: Find your place in the harem.

Reward: One free sexuality change OR Charm Mastery feat

“Andromeda, Ophie had a fun idea to maybe help you practice making friends? Wanna play some Leylines and have some friendly conversation while you do it?”

Andromeda shrugs, “That sounds fine?”

Andromeda’s Week 2 Minor Quest: Play Leylines and have good table talk with others.

Reward: One appropriate spell scroll for every unique win

Winter quips, “Hey, Mistress, I’ll take that one, too, if you don’t mind.”

Winter’s Week 2 Minor Quest: Play Leylines and have good table talk with others.

Reward: Add a superiority die OR increase the value of superiority dice for every unique win

“Last one I have right now, Tegan, my cute fox waifu, I want you to get in touch with your romantic feelings for me, if that’s okay? I really like you and want us to be happy and I think you need to be honest with me about how you feel for that to happen.”

Tegan looks down. What do I feel for Mona? I mean, she is mine and I am hers, but... “Fine, Mona. If that’s what you want.”

Tegan’s Week 2 Minor Quest: Admit you have romantic feelings for Mistress sincerely.

Reward: A free ASI

“Soooo, what’s everyone wanting to do today?”

Everyone shares their plans, then Tegan goes on her day. First stop is apparently Tina’s. Again. The blonde bimbo does not look as happy to see her as she did during the meeting. “Hey, Tegan. What can I do for you today?”

“Show me this transformation that the vampire paid a discount for. I will decide whether it is a curse or not.”

Olympian Amazonian (Modified) – So, the audience didn’t like the historically accurate amazon and you got a BE feature, either negating the uneven breasts or giving you one super huge one? We’ll give the audience what they wanted instead. Tegan gains 6 inches of height and +1 Endurance. She also gains the perfect musculature for her sport: strong arms, strong and broad shoulders, strong back, long and strong legs. (Olympian).

That... is actually good? “There has to be a catch?”

Tina shrugs, “Shar has a type and that type is big boobied muscle goth ladies. She just wants you to look sexy in her eyes. Also, you still need to pay 120 BP.”

“You were a lot more chipper about this at the meeting.”

Tina arches an eyebrow, “I was performing on stage. Now, I’m talking with you and you are always so grumpy.”

I only have 130 BP right now. I need that armor training, too. “So, if I buy this, how will I get my light armor training done?”

“Go to Daph and get Level 5? You could try a delve, but I imagine you want the armor first.”

Tegan snarls a little. So, I buy this transformation I want, I’d have to go level and risk my gigantic freak breasts getting bigger? Mona was drooling at the idea of me getting this too... Later. I’ll get it later. She pulls out her phone and schedules a training session instead.

Tegan: -20 BP

Tessa

Winter is nice enough to go with them to the Media Room to help set up some Harem Hotel viewing before moving on to spend time with Andromeda. Mona apparently wants to watch some hard seasons of the show; she wishes to learn from other’s mistakes.

Bonnie, the bunny-girl at the concession stand, looks happier than what the others described during lunch after her last date. Winter starts ordering a selection of seasons up as options. Bonnie picks up on it and adds a few more. Then he makes his exit.

Mona is getting comfortable in one of the love seats beside Tessa. The girl looks to her, “Thank you for being here, Tessa. This might not what you wanted to do during your one-on-one time with me this week but...”

Tessa gives her knee a slight squeeze, “It’s okay. I am glad to support you trying to take more responsibility for all of this. Now, if it gets too much...”

Mona interrupts, looking resolute, “I need to bear it. I meant what I said at the party. I want to be worthy of all of you. Learning how not to give into what this show can do to a Master is part of that. So, please, just help me stay and watch.”

Tessa nods. She gingerly wraps Mona up in a side hug. The girl rests her cheek on Tessa’s arm.

Bonnie the bunny stands before them, smiling. She begins a bit of a lecture, “Dear Mistress and Auntie, there are four basic types of dark seasons. The first is a basic Harem vs. Host scenario where the harem struggles against the situation but eventually, through the power of love and lots of sex, finds a way to overcome. Queen Mama’s season is a good example of that. That is not the requested theme of today’s viewing.”

Bonnie makes a grand gesture, then continues, “The second type starts like the first, but the power gets to the Master and he or she falls into corruption. This is honestly the majority of seasons overall. Winter recommends Harem Hotel: The Bet, which is probably the best example, but Greg’s season of The HH and Jack’s season of Island Holiday are both pulled up, should you want some variety.”

Mona starts to speak, but Tessa gives her knee another squeeze. She whispers into the gamer girl’s ear, “Those are probably our focus, but we should listen to the rest.”

“Type three is much like the last one, at a superficial blush. The big difference is that the Master is either quickly revealed to be a right bastard or is overtly advertised as one. The Master joins with the Host to torment and conquer the rest of the harem. Winter had me pull up Harem Hotel: Evil’s Vengeance for that purpose, and boy howdy is Malgor a yummy slab of a bad boy, but may I recommend Harem Hotel: Binky’s Big-Time Barista Bonanza?”

She wouldn’t...

Mona speaks up before Tessa could, “Absolutely not. We are not going to invade Jenny’s privacy like that. If she wants me to watch it, I will, but not before SHE asks me to.”

“Fair enough,” the bunny shrugs. “Final category is the Payback season. A pretty common trope, the Master is a bullied wiener and the rest of the harem are generally the ones that did the bullying. The question asked is whether that Master will forgive, assert, or corrupt.”

“Like Felix and Ashley’s seasons!” Mona exclaims.

“That’s right. Winter had me pull up Harem Hotel: Payback Edition and Harem Hotel: Vengeance Bitches as examples. Levi is resisting, poorly; Zach hopped into the corruption train rather quickly.”

Mona turns to Tessa, resting her chin on her bicep, as she asks, “Where should we start?”

“Let’s start with The Bet and see where things stand by the time we are done?”

And so Mona settles into Tessa as the two of them watch a man slowly, inexorably succumb to the darkness inside.

Mona: Weekly Bounty Update – Spend one-on-one time with every contestant (2/10)

Craig

Just like all of yesterday, Craig is on the prowl for PP. After blowing his limited funds on what was an impossible chance to get one, he still has not even laid his eyes on the stupid things. He goes through so many irritating locations in the amenities floor, asking for help and being denied. He focuses on places that have games, hoping he can find a fair challenge for his prize.

The bowling alley has a challenge for one that Craig knows is impossible. Bowling three perfect games in a row could happen, with enough practice. Bowling three perfect games while giving up the use of a limb after every game is impossible. How do you bowl hopping on one leg?

Craig finds a mini-golf course with an attached driving range. There is another impossible physical challenge for a PP. Waaaaaaay out at the far edge of the driving range is a singular 525 yd flag. The bunny-slut drone quipped that, if you can hit the smiley face on the flag, you can get a PP. That can’t be possible.

They have an entire Ninja Warrior obstacle course. The bunny-slut there (dressed in a very slutty ninja girl outfit) smiles as she tells him that, if he can complete all four stages in a continuous fashion in less than 5 minutes, he could earn one. He almost signs up, just to see how far off he is, only to hear that it costs 20 BP an attempt (or 50 BP for unlimited play during a date). Snarling, he stomps away.

The trampoline park has a game called Succu-balls. You can sign up for a one vs. team challenge. Winning will again grant a PP. Trying again costs BP.

Craig even risks the gun range. The elf dyke there smirks as she saunters out of the dumb fake sheriff’s office after he rings the bell. She checks out her nails as she dismissively greets, “What do you want, Doggie Dougie?”

“Some PP.”

“You know that, as soon as you actually do a hostile act against Mona, my wife is going to make you wish you’ve never been born, right?”

“Whatever could you be talking about?” Craig lies.

It looks like the dyke doesn’t buy it, as she snarks, “You know what, I will cut you a deal. I will let you see a PP if you go blow a castle guard.”

I’m not a fag, dyke. “You could just give me some PP instead.”

The dyke makes a humming noise, then elides into, “Rather not. Rather make you earn it. I got a fun sniper rifle game you could play. 20 BP for 5 shots...”

Craig growls and stomps away. There HAS to be a PP on display somewhere! This is ridiculous...

Jenny

“Mineko, you almost ready in there?”

Jenny stayed behind as the others with more immediate plans left for their days; everyone else’s ideas did not seem immediately appealing. Kevin and Ootah went to go spar with Tyalangan, which seems insane. Andromeda and Winter went to play cards, which seems too static; Jenny wants to move, not sit all day. Tessa and Mona’s sitting plan was worse, for they are going to watch other seasons of the Hotel; Jenny can’t bring herself to do the same. Tegan and Craig left the meeting after the meeting too soon for Jenny to figure out exactly where they planned to go.

So, she stuck with Mineko, who also seemed not able to decide on what to do.

Jenny first suggested that Mineko go upstairs and change into one of her new outfits. The nekomata was reluctant, thinking about what would happen if she needs to defend Mona; showing off the quick clothing swap trick that most of the others figured out sold Mineko on the idea.

The cat-girl soon exits the bathroom, all dressed up in one of her very skimpy maid outfits. “Are you sure Owner-Mona won’t think I am being presumptuous?”

Jenny sighs a little, then places a friendly hand on her shoulder. “Why would you being dressed like this be considered presumptuous?”

“Slaves are supposed to show their holes off to their owners at all times.”

“Well, sweetie, you aren’t a slave. You’re Mona’s precious cat-girl maid. So, what do you want to do today? We made you go shopping yesterday, so today is your turn to pick what we do.”

“We should cook and clean and provide sexual service for Owner-Mona!” the nekomata exclaims.

Is that going to be her answer all of the time? I need a different approach. “Did Mona assign you to do any of that today? We should treat this like a day off. What do you like to do on a day off?”

The cat looks confused, her head cocked to the side. “Day... off?”

“You know, a day where you don’t have to work? Where you get to do something you like to do instead?”

“Owner-Mona does not want us to work all the time?”

“No. She doesn’t,” Jenny says it as firmly as she can manage, despite how her heart aches. “What can I do to help you see that?”

The cat-girl ignores the question, asking another. “What should I do today, then?”

Sighing, Jenny texts Tina for ideas to help an indecisive cat-girl figure out things she likes. The bunny-girl apparently forwards the message to Skye, who asks if the two of them would like to try some gardening. That does sound kind of good? Maybe Mineko would like it? Jenny asks the cat what she thinks; she nods, which feels like she is just going along instead of making a decision. Still, the dryad schedules a Nature lesson for herself.

Jenny: -20 BP

Let’s give this a try. Some sunshine may do us both some good.
