Quickie recapy

“Alright, ladies and gentleman, let’s go for a quickie rules recap, shall we?” Chrissi reached inside her bosom and produced another pamphlet, just like the ones the players were provided when they arrived at the Hotel. She then quickly looked for the point she wanted and began reading: “The rankings in this game are calculated by a contestant’s amount of Victory Points, or VP. There are four main ways to gain VP: participating in the regularly scheduled competitions and votes, performing acts of intimacy with the Master (these are worth the most), performing those same acts with other contestants, or in some of our amenities in the Hotel.

“For a winner to be announced in this game, at least one contestant must finish a round with 100 points or more. That first contestant to do so will be considered the Main Bitch, the Queen Bee. They will be considered the most important woman in the harem and will be granted the coveted wish, alongside a positive exit transformation, as well as an extra prize exclusive to this edition of the show. Stay tuned to find out what!

“For another contestant to be considered a winner, they must score 100 points or more as well. Though they will not be considered the Queen Bee, the ‘winner’ condition will grant them access to the positive exit transformation and a favorable position in the harem, but not the wish or the extra prize. If they don’t manage to score that high by the end of the game, they will be considered a loser, gaining a regular exit transformation based on their ranking and nothing else. The losers will also consider all winners as naturally superior to them. Once at least three contestants have achieved the condition of ‘winner’, the others left will have until the end of the following round or round 5, whatever happens last, to do the same. After this deadline, the game is over.”

The bimbo then started quickly flipping through the pamphlet. “Where is it… papapapa… Here!

“A vote every round will determine the audience’s favorite girl in the competition, or the Best Girl. The chosen contestant will receive some bonus VP, BP, and a little something extra as well.

“Alright, that’s enough recapping!” The host threw the pamphlet over her shoulder. Susie promptly jumped with the roller blades on her feet, expertly caught it midair, quickly and silently put it in her pocket and returned to her spot beside the bimbo, who was explaining one last rule. “Last detail is the wish, there are only two rules: you cannot change anyone’s placing in the harem, with that it is implied you can’t undo your own harem as well, and you also cannot stop the continuation of this show in any way, shape or form. Besides that, anything is fair game! Most people swear at the beginning of the show to wish for all the transformations to be gone,” she winked at Ariadne, who simply frowned back, “but this season may be very different in that regard.” The rogue frowned even further. Didn’t the bimbo mean her outburst from earlier?

“And that is because of the first of our brand new rules! Woohoo!” The blonde raised her arms and cheered like a cheerleader at a finals game. “Our smart viewers may have noticed that our contestants are from all sorts of different stories and worlds, so you may be wondering ‘how is this harem situation supposed to work with its members coming and going between all these different places, oh beautiful host?’ That’s the neat part, it isn’t!”

The mood in the room dropped like a lead balloon. All the women suddenly noticed they were holding their breaths as they awaited Chrissi's next words.

“Having to travel through multiple universes just for the Master to meet with his harem? That must be exhausting. That’s why we are introducing that new prize for our Main Bitch, the extra gift she receives is that the harem will be able to flip flop between only two universes: the Master’s and hers!”

The contestants all rioted at the same time. Again.

“You can’t do this, I have to go back to my owner!” Bianca shouted.

“I have to save my brother, you bitch!” Ariadne screamed.

Sunny was dissociating, “Maybe I can help them from a distance, maybe they have interplanar communications here, they have to, right? Or maybe…”

The girls in the bubble were shouting as well, but it was unintelligible for everyone else.

“Are you going to keep me from my girlfriend, you monster? From my service to my god? From all the people I have to protect?!” Was Hyppolita’s scream.

“You can’t keep me in like a caged animal! I have to stop all the others from being hunted down.” Was Valleyr’s.

Harley was laughing uncontrollably. If it was at the others’ expense or her own situation was anyone’s guess.

Chrissi reveled in the chaos, until order came from a most unexpected place.

“Enough!” Lin shouted with a surprising calm in his voice. All the girls stopped. “Let her finish. She is going to say something else, something that will get your hopes up and invested in competing on this show. Aren’t you, Chrissi?” All eyes turned to the host.

“My, my, how perceptive of our Master.” She answered in a husky voice. “Why yes, I will now introduce our last new rule. Susie!”

The diminutive assistant faced the blank wheel beside her and spun it. As the white spaces turned, slowly, images of each contestant faded into each space, until the wheel contained multiple copies of each girl spinning around.

“Behold, The Wheel of Fate!” The redhead proclaimed, with a solemn face and hands extended to present the object.

“Indeed it is.” The host continued. “It will be spun in many different situations in our season. For example, this is the version intended to decide who will sleep with the Master next.”

“Enough about that!” Bianca screamed at the bimbo. “How is this motherfucking wheel gonna help us all get home?!”

“Patience, fellow blonde.” Chrissi answered in a voice so calm it was irritating. “The Wheel of Fate will also be spun whenever the Best Girl of the round is selected by the audience.” As she was explaining, the images of the girls on the wheel faded to be replaced by words. “And besides some VP and BP, our special girl will also get to spin the Wheel. One of the many prizes she may gain is to be able to go home the same way as the Main Bitch, among many other prizes.” Chrissi tentatively watched the women’s expectant looks at the wheel, until a shout pierced that exquisite sight.

“WAIT A SECOND!” Sunny pointed at one of the slots in the Wheel. “That says one of our friends will come join us! That’s not fair, you can’t bring more people into this.”

“That’s a sharp eye Sunny, well done. “Chrissi congratulated her. “It more accurately says ‘One of the contestant’s fellow characters will join her in the competition.’ So, girls, is a chance at going home worth the risk of bringing people you know into this show? You tell me.” No answers from the girls, only stares. Good. “Well, with nothing else left to say, let us start the most awaited event of the night: our first transformation round!” She raised her arms to cheer once again and, as she did, a gigantic holographic screen came into existence above her.” Susie, show those options on the big screen!”

“You got it boss!” And the small girl finally showed the audience what they had been waiting to see for a long time.
