Round 3 TF Reveal and Team Selection

“Welcome back my soon to be sticky perverted viewers. We have an exciting episode here today.” Cassandra began her speech staring out to the empty seats in the auditorium with everyone else standing behind her spot lights highlighting each person. “It’s TRANSFORMATION TIME! I bet everyone’s excited. Will Allie be **** to keep her future vows? Will Talia become the first priestess of Laura and spread her good news? Will Samantha get to talk with her father again? Let’s find out.”

Cassandra turned around, “Mark please come join me.” High top bar seats arose for each person to sit in with two around a small table that appeared. Everyone took a seat with Mark and Cassandra sitting at the table. “First I actually forgot to give out a piece of fan mail mostly because it wasn’t addressed to any one of you rather to all of you. So here it is.” The letter displayed on the screen.

To the Missed Connections cast, from Hardric.

Greetings.

First, I would apologize for making this a collective mail, but I am disgustingly late for those as it is. And I'll take at least one thing sent over skipping out again.

That’s… not often that this show gets a cast for a season that dives headfirst as much as this, I think. Makes for an… interesting situation. And you people are only ending the second week of this. I will admit, it leaves me highly curious about where the duck this one is ending. And curious to know where I can expect to be myself by that two-weeks mark. Hopefully something that is not dissimilar in terms of cohesion at least.

Still, seeing the whole group making this a literal group effort so far, the polyamorous relationships, the way you end up using all this magic BS that is now your lives… Wish I was doing a better job of keeping tables on this. And… That you are going to be able to keep this going forward with even more TF and people piling up, and odds that this is not finished on that front.

I’d say I hope everyone who ends up brought up is given a fair shake to get in too. And that you guys do remember that you have been doing the fuckups too before whatever new people arrived. I realize an eternal kumbaya is unlikely, but at least keep the speaking terms up, and not fucking over new arrivals for the sake of it. And keep the ripostes proportioned if all else fails.

Also… Never forget, Fuck the monkey crowd braying behind the camera walls, no matter what they say and how they act. This one included, even when they leave audience seats for a turn. This is your life, it will be your life. Yours alone. Keep it that way, whoever is getting a free show for a few weeks is not worth a second thought.

Keep going,
Hardric.

Mark was intrigued, “I’ve read some of your other letters, Hardric and was wondering when we would be getting mail from you as well. As a former audience member myself I understand what you are saying but don’t totally agree that the audience’s opinion isn’t important. It will definitely shape some things about our lives. I’m quite pleased with how people have been handling getting along for the most part and I hope it remains at least somewhat harmonious.”

Chloe snorted in dismissal. Which caused multiple people to look at Chloe and then a Sadie who seemed to be trying to make herself smaller unsuccessfully.

Cassandra turned to the ladies, “Would any of you like to directly respond?” Everyone shook their heads. Very Well. Now Mark, who’s transformation are you looking forward to the most and the least?”

“I’d like to say Aubrey’s because I’m pretty sure they are going to give her the boon, but the truth is Chloe’s is the transformation that I’m looking forward to the most. Like I said I don’t have a strong preference because I like all three. I would say either Allie’s or Hilde’s the least. Mostly because I think that they might get something they don’t like.”

Aubrey perked up hearing that Mark thought she would get her boon. Chloe’s face flushed when Mark said he liked all three of the options. While Allie and Hilde shrunk in their seats and stared down at their breasts.

The spot lights on all the contestants but Aubrey vanished. “Well we will be taking care of your little lamb first. Mark is of course correct. Our audience voted overwhelmingly to give you Pink Is Simply The Superior Color. Not too surprising considering they thought you did splendidly in the challenge. So don’t get down about the Best Girl Poll since they clearly still want to be nice to you Aubrey.”

Pink Is Simply The Superior Color: What will you know Aubrey did have a low grade Magical talent, involving the color pink. Let’s boost it considerably. Aubrey will be Tickled Pink to know that Pink things are now simply better and easier to use for her. The effect varies based upon the thing in question and the amount of pink the thing is but it will be magically enhanced if Pink. [Boon] [Tickled Pink]

Mark hadn’t expected anything to happen when the TF took hold but he was mistaken. Aubrey’s dress, which was of course pink, had slight splotches from her milking, which vanished instantly. Her breasts also seemed to be pushed up and together showing off her cleavage and providing much needed support for her breasts. Aubrey also had a pink ribbon in her hair. Her hair was already rather beautiful but it became slightly shinier and silkier. Finally unbeknownst to Mark, Aubrey’s heels became one of the comfiest pairs of shoes she ever wore. She felt like she was standing on fluffy clouds.

Aubrey said slightly lost in thought, “I didn’t think… This is amazing…” Regaining her focus she looked straight ahead to the empty theater and said. “Thank you so much. I truly appreciate this gift.” Then she gave a slight bow and went back to her seat.

Mark said, “Agreed. I’m hoping that the audience continues to be kind to my ladies.”

“As do I.” Cassandra beamed. “And in this next instance they did give your girl exactly what she asked for. Isabella, please come forward and show us how Those Hips Don’t Lie.”

Those Hips Don’t Lie: Isabella’s hips shall become curvier and more pronounced. In addition Isabella will find that her body will reveal her true intentions whether she knows them or not. Mark/Mary will instinctively understand her movement while others will have to figure things out themselves. [Dancer]

Isabella found herself strutting towards Mark then she stopped as her hips flared out considerably. She jutted one hip out to the side and placed her hand on it and leaned forward slightly to show off her cleavage to Mark and smiled at him. While everyone noticed her obvious physical change Mark noticed the other part of the TF far more. It was almost like her body was talking to him as he looked at her. It was saying, ‘God I can’t wait for Mark to take me to bed one day. I’m nervous though. I need to act confident and flirty. I hope Mark likes these childbearing hips.’ Mark was so engrossed listening to the signs of her body that he missed her actual words until her body was telling him, ‘Damnit, he’s ignoring me. My eyes are up here mister.’

“Um, sorry what were you saying Isabella?”

“I was asking what you thought of my new hips. Which I guess I have an answer by the way you were staring at them.”

“I do like them quite a lot. Though I’ll be honest I wasn’t so much staring at them for that reason. It’s more like your body was conveying things to me, almost like it was literally talking to me.”

“Oh and what did it say?” Isabella asked, leaning further forward.

Her body was now saying. ‘I’m both genuinely curious but also please don’t actually answer. Quick look at my boobs instead.’

Mark listened to her body and stared at her breasts. “Well, I think I’ll keep that to myself for now.”

Isabella stood up straight, her shoulders relaxed with her body saying, ‘Phew, crisis avert.’ Isabella nodded then went to go sit back down.

Cassandra then turned to Allie. “Please come on up Allie.” Allie nervously got up and stood near the table fidgeting with the hem of her shirt. “Allie, why so nervous?” Cassandra asked gently.

“You know why. I’m concerned that the vows option won. I don’t need more insecurity and I don’t want to have to simply obey Mark or whatever the show is going to turn honoring him into either. Mark regardless of the result of this vote I want you to know I want to push up the wedding considerably. Cassandra, am I right in assuming that once I marry Mark that my [Future Wife] path will change?”

“That is correct.” Cassandra confirmed with a nod.

“Then Mark, I want to get married by the end of the round. Is… is that alright with you?”

“Absolutely Allie. We’ll figure out the details but absolutely.”

“I look forward to your union.” Cassandra said with a smile. “Now to your transformation. Allie I'll have you know a majority of people did vote against Time To Take Those Vows the thing is that’s true of the other two options as well.” Allie’s shoulders slumped. “In fact it was a three way tie. Now I had considered using a veto on this one but realized I didn’t really need to. You will be getting all three.”

“Cassandra please, is there anything I can do for you to veto the Vows option?” Allie pleaded.

Mark grimaced, at the distress his soon to be wife was experiencing. He started to absentmindedly finger the ring he was wearing due to his own anxiety.

“Sorry but no. I do have some good news for you though. See both Time To Take Those Vows, and OH MY! What Big Tits You Have, alter your baseline for Customizable Waifu. What that means is that Mark could simply revert your obedience to your current levels after your wedding, but he will have to compensate on one of the other sliders. So the real question is how much you trust Mark not to mess with you.”

Then Mark remembered. The spells Harper… and I guess Cassandra’s producer gave me. Mark got a sense of what he could do with each of them right now. Not wanting to hesitate and miss his chance Mark threw out the shield spell onto Allie, allowing him to at least partially break the tie she had received, just as Cassandra waved her hand towards Allie.

Customizable Waifu: Mark has spent countless hours in character creation in games getting things just right. Now he’ll be able to do the same with Allie. Mark will gain a set of sliders on Allie’s profile for various things. He’ll be given a small set of points to distribute to start with but can subtract from one slider to add to another. Everyone but Mark will treat the changes as normal. Mark will be limited in how much he can move a each slider each day [Gamer Girl]

Time to Take Those Vows: Allie believes she’s earned her place at Mark’s/Mary’s side, but has yet to take her vows. It’s time for her to put up or shut up. The longer Allie delays marrying Mark/Mary the less certain she will feel about having earned his affection until she takes her vows. Of course once she takes her vows, they will be binding. Hopefully Allie is as ready as she claims, to Love, Honor, and Obey her future Husband/Wife. [Future Wife]

OH MY! What Big Tits You Have: Left out of the children’s version of the tale, are the massive knockers the wolf used in their very convincing disguise. Well, Allie will now have inherited that trait from her grandmother. Allie will gain massive tits, all the better to feed her litter with. Her tits will produce enough milk to feed the many children she’ll give Mark with their hormones making her more likely to have more children as well. [Little Red Riding Hood]

Allie’s breasts grew much larger from their current C-cups to J-Cups. Allie also felt a bit horny, as the hormones washed through her body.

Cassandra was confused. “What the…” Cassandra waved her hand again to try and apply the TF that didn’t take the first time. “What?! What do you mean!” Cassandra was growing angry. Then she calmed down, but her eye was twitching. “Well Allie, I guess I have some good news for you. I don’t know how but my producer says it is correct that Time To Take Those Vows was blocked from being applied.” Though he won’t tell me how… I need to call Zara about this later.

“Really! OH, thank goodness.” Allie breathed out a sigh of relief.

“Well, it wasn’t me, and if it was my producer… well, there is nothing Good about that devil. I’m happy for you though, again I had considered a veto here but you’ll see why I declined in a moment. Glad things worked out for you.” Mark did not like the sound of that as Allie retook her seat next to Isabella. Cassandra then continued. “Laura, please join us.” Laura walked up to them and leaned onto the table.

“So what did I get a three way tie as well? I really didn’t expect you to do me a favor like preventing that for me.”

Cassandra shook her head. “No, you did not get a tie.” Cassandra’s eye twitch was going again. “In fact you are the last person who did not end up with a tie. That’s why I’m saving my vetos.” Everyone went wide-eyed at that.

“You’re saying there were eight ties?” Laura asked incredulously.

“Yes… I have similar concerns. But that is what the results say. Hence why I didn’t veto Allie’s TF options. Having checked with The Data Guy, while there is some suspicious activity and that things are likely not simply a coincidence; We can’t separate out what is and is not a valid vote. Hence why I intend to use all three of my vetos to resolve some of these ties, if not outright kicking an option out then by combining the options into something more manageable. Now onto your result Laura. Any guesses?”

“Probably, Gift. The audience seems to have a breeding fetish.”

Cassandra chuckled. “They aren’t the only ones.” She glanced at Mark. “You are also correct. Gift From a Fellow Goddess was the winner overwhelmingly.” Cassandra waved her hand.

Gift From a Fellow Goddess: Aphrodite (Venus), Goddess of love, lust, beauty, pleasure, passion, procreation, desire, sex, fertility, prosperity, victory and avid backer of Harem Hotel (Possible Producer but don’t let the contestants know that.), has seen there is a new goddess encroaching in on her domains. Don’t worry Laura I’m a rather big fan of yours you remind me of me. Alas your world has mostly abandoned worship of me so I suppose I can let you have that one rock. To help I’m granting you a bit more of my portfolio but you embody so much already. So I’m granting you the Gift of Fertility. Not only will you be able to pump out your own kids but your fluids will cause any other woman to become more fertile as well. A Gift from your fellow Goddess of Desire -A.V. Main Path effect: Laura can ask Aphrodite for guidance, and aid, but it won’t come free. [Greek Myth - Aphrodite]

“I don’t feel any different.” Laura said.

“Well of course not you’re just more fertile and can make others more fertile. I will warn you, this does make your specific contraceptive slightly less effective. It doesn’t bypass it entirely but if you want to make sure you don’t get pregnant then you need to buy one of the other options that lets you set the exact chance.”

Laura pursed her lips. “Thanks for the information.”

“I will mention that you will also find new options in the BP store relating to your new domain.” Cassandra added as Laura returned to her seat.

Cassandra sighed. “Okay now to resolve the rest of these votes that ended in ties. Sorry audience if that spoils things for you somewhat but I didn’t want everyone going ‘Another Tie!?’. Now first up Chloe.”

Chloe stood up and moved over to stand by Mark. “So which one won with Busty Bunnies? Because there is no way that lost if I got a tie.”

“Oh, are you sure?” Cassandra asked teasingly. “I mean maybe the viewers want you to be a good little cocksucker who simply tries to please others. Okay no, you are definitely becoming a bunny girl, as well as a good little cock sucker, because All Day Sucker was the tie.”

All Day Sucker: Chloe will now feel the intense desire to suck on something. We'll provide her with an assortment of lollipops (with fun effects) but what she really wants to suck on is Mark/Mary. The longer she goes without something in her mouth the greater the craving will grow; only sucking on Mark/Mary will decrease the craving. [Pharmacology - Candy]

Busty Bunnies: Cinderella got her name from being covered in ash, but fireplaces are no longer in vogue. Chloe will become a busty dusty bunny, both turning into a rabbit girl, becoming bustier and gaining a desire to clean up after her harem sisters. [Cinderella]

Chloe felt the familiar sensation of bunny ears sprouting from the top of her head and a little cotton tail just above her butt. This time though her skin didn’t darken in color.

Chloe also began remembering messes that the others had made and thinking about them not being cleaned up irked her. Well guess I’m going to be a maid to some degree… whatever. Then came the craving. Her mouth felt empty. She immediately turned to look at Mark’s crotch which was when Cassandra conjured a set of suckers for her. “What do they do?” Chloe asked the Host.

“That’s for you to find out my dear.” Cassandra said with a smirk.

Chloe took the suckers. I could ask for her to tell me with a favor. No, I might need the big one later. Chloe went ahead and popped into her mouth a sucker. It was cherry flavored. Her lips changed color to match the color and it felt like her lips became more sensitive. Well for ‘fun effects’ I guess that’s pretty mild.

Cassandra then handed Chloe another candy case, containing this round's candies.

Guzzlers
Lickorice Pieces
RockHard Candy

Chloe looked at the names. Okay these are probably okay. Definitely shouldn’t consume multiple at once though… I don’t want a repeat of the bunnies.

Chloe went back to her seat.

“Next up Flora.” Flora rose and stepped forward and the spotlight focused on her and she raised a hand to shield her eyes.

Flora squinted at Cassandra saying, “I take it speed reading lost?”

“It did indeed. Does that bother you?”

“A little, but Mark you made a good point, Lion’s Pride, would improve a three way with you. Moreover…” Flora glanced at Merida’s tails. “There might be more than one Merida doing things with me at the same time. So that should be fun too. Like you said, it doesn't push me to share beyond feeling better. Which means I also assume you aren’t vetoing my tie are you?”

“Actually I am. But don’t worry, I'm sure you will like the result of me combining the two. Here, take a look before I apply it.”

Feline Habits: Flora will now heed nature’s call from deep within herself. Flora has accepted that she is a fierce lioness and a pretty kitty. She will slowly begin to form habits that reinforce both aspects of herself. Such as thinking about devouring her prey, like sheep and helpless little bunnies. Other predators will be welcomed into the pride and Flora will find great pleasure sharing with them, especially when sharing her prey. She will also reinforce habits like petting, nuzzling and all the cute things an affectionate kitty does. [Call of Nature]

“I’m confused, isn't that simply worse?” Flora said with a scowl. “I’m going to welcome others into things? That is exactly what I don’t want. Cassandra I thought you said you were helping.”

“I am. Read the original carefully. In fact let me call attention to the portion that matters.”

Natural Habits: Flora will now heed nature’s call from deep within herself. Flora has accepted that she is a fierce lioness and a pretty kitty. She will slowly begin to form habits that reinforce both aspects of herself. Such as thinking about devouring her prey, like sheep and helpless little bunnies or warning off other predators from trying to encroach on her domain or mate. As well as things like petting, nuzzling and all the cute things an affectionate kitty does. [Call of Nature]

“Tell me Flora, who do you think is your mate, and what do you think a fox is?”

“I would assume Mark is the one intended as my ‘mate'.” Flora said annoyed. Really why does Cassandra have to keep using that term? “And a fox is an animal from the genus Vulpes.”

“Yes… how technical. More importantly, does a fox hunt?”

“Well yeah, they’re omnivores. I don’t understand why that matters.”

Cassandra rolled eyes. “Seriously… Flora, tell me what your girlfriend is?”

“She’s a… fox… wait are you saying that I would have been territorial against Merida? I guess Allie and Isabella too?”

Cassandra nodded. “Don’t forget Samantha as well. I thought you might want that bit changed. So I combined them so you won’t become territorial about other predators and will find greater pleasure sharing with them. It also doesn’t **** you to share with them.”

“Okay, in that case thank you Cassandra.”

“You are most welcome.” Cassandra waved her hand applying the altered TF.

Flora didn’t feel much different. “Is nothing going to happen?” Flora asked.

“I mean it didn’t give you any habits. You’ll form those on your own.” Cassandra explained.

“Ah.” Flora considered that, nodded, then went back to her seat. Merida scratched behind Flora’s ears causing her to purr a bit and lean into Merida’s hand.

“Hilde dear would you trot on over here, please.” Hilde rolled her eyes at Cassandra’s words. “Now this is the first reroll that you’ve all done. Let this be a warning that it is possible ties can result from rerolls and you will get both.” Hilde’s shoulders were slumped and she had a slight frown. “Hilde love, why so down?”

“Well there was a tie. I sort of assumed Short Stack won. If you told me it took second I could believe that especially if it was a close vote but third? I don’t think I’m that lucky.”

“Well, think again Hilde. You are one lucky girl. As Short Stack did indeed take third.”

Hilde’s posture straightened immediately. “Really? You aren’t just messing with me Cassandra?”

“Really dear.” Cassandra waved her hand, applying the TFs.

Rein Me In: Hilde is rather hyperactive and her sisters have had to rein her in the past. Now she'll find that she desires to be reined in and will find it particularly pleasurable when Mark/Mary is the one to do so. [Stable Manager]

The Random Naughty Generator (RNG): Once per day, the RNG will give Hilde a random, specific fetish that she will be curious about. This will push her to constantly explore new and unexpected kinks with her partners. At the end of a round all kinks gained will be lost unless Hilde explores it and wants to keep it. [Wreck-it-Ralph - Vanellope von Schweetz]

Hilde was crying tears of joy, “Thank you. Thank you all so much. I truly appreciate it and I promise to embrace my new TFs for all of you who voted for them.”

Hilde then realized she got her first new fetish. Huh, well might as well give the audience a show. Hilde moved over to Mark, straddled him, and wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug extremely quickly. Mark was further surprised when she started vigorously making out with Mark. He returned her affections up until the point that his brain caught up with the situation.

+1 VP Hug the Master
+2 VP Kiss the Master

Mark pushed Hilde gently back but she resisted breaking apart. It took Mark grabbing her by the shoulders and pushing back to get her to stop. At which point she quivered in pleasure. “What has got into you? Neither of those transformations should have done that to you?”

“I know Sir. I just thought I would indulge the audience a bit. I got to say I like the first fetish I picked up. I currently have a thing for PDA, I think I’m going to be keeping it too. Master are you sure I can’t handle your throbbing erection pressing up against my butt. I’m rather close right now. When you reined me in right now it felt… intoxicating and…” Hilde licked her lips. “You taste delectable.”

“Hilde, I’m not having you put on a show for everyone else. Multiple of the others are already glaring at you.”

“Yes boss. As you say.” Hilde got down, and went back to her seat.

Mark sighed. Speaking to everyone Mark said, “Okay, I would appreciate it if you were mindful of the fact that not everyone wants to watch someone else be intimate with me. Try to be considerate.”

“How nice.” Cassandra said. “I’m glad you are caring about everyone’s feelings Mark. It is an important thing to balance as the Harem’s Master. Now Lucia, would you please come up here.”

Lucia stood up and walked over and said, “Please tell me Alter-egos won.”

“It did indeed. As did, That’s Not A Request.”

“Oh good, that’s the one I was hoping to tie.”

“Ah such a good little sub for Mark. Enjoy the present.” Cassandra waved her hand once more.

Alter-egos: As an actress Ellen must play her part convincingly. Sometimes she plays it too well, and gets lost in the role. As Ellen picks up traits from her costumes alternate egos will form absorbing those traits from Ellen. One such ego has already manifested Lucia. Upon agreement they can simply switch who is in control, otherwise they will have to fight for who is in control. When desired Ellen can shed a permanent trait she’s picked up that is shared by one of her alter-egos to reinforce that trait in that ego. [Actress]

That’s Not A Request: Belle did not like it when the beast said this to her. Luckily for Ellen she doesn’t mind being bossed around nearly as much, in fact it is very much a turn on for her. Now Mark/Mary raising his voice at her and making it deeper or adding a bestial undertone to it will arouse Ellen far more and make her more likely to obey his direction. [Beauty and the Beast]

Lucia immediately noticed a change as she heard in her head, Hi Lucia, it’s Ellen. Lucia was confused and looked around. I’m not outside, silly. I’m inside. I guess when the TF said an alternate ego it really meant a different personality entirely.

Lucia was slightly freaking out. Umm… Ellen? So I’m not Ellen. Why do I still mostly feel like me or rather like Ellen?

Probably because who you are is partially based upon me and then all the traits that were exclusively yours went to you. I will say I do notice a difference myself. Would you mind letting me have control?

Lucia let Ellen take control. She noticed in the mirror Cassandra had summoned earlier her eyes had turned to her natural brown as did her short hair. “Huh that’s neat. Cassandra is that, to help let others know who is in control?”

“It is indeed. You can actually suppress that effect if you want, Ellen.”

Laura raised her hand and asked. “I’m confused, what just happened?”

“I’m Ellen,” Ellen then pointed to her head. “Lucia is in here. Also I’m going to need to talk to quite a few people later. Especially you Laura. I’m not mad but I had apparently picked up more traits than I think anyone realized from my costumes. A lot of them got shifted to Lucia, I’m still partially in character as Lucia though so I still have some of them but I can tell what is me acting and what isn’t.”

Mark turned to Cassandra and asked. “Can you explain exactly how this works please Cassandra.”

“Sure. First, while it might seem like Lucia is a separate person from Ellen, especially to Ellen, she is not. All of the other egos will at their core be Ellen, but a variation of Ellen. A new ego will form if Ellen remains in character for too long. Ellen can also deliberately create a new ego by combining traits she has absorbed. Also the bit of them all being Ellen at the core is important, as they will all be affected by her TFs.”

“And the bit about fighting for control?” Mark asked.

“Right now I’m pretty sure that if Lucia wanted she could simply take control easily.” Cassandra explained. “Because of the body suit. Not that it appears there is any issue with Lucia or Ellen sharing at least right now.”

Ellen said, “Mark I wouldn’t worry about it, Lucia is up here and is perfectly happy to let me pilot things for now. Again we can talk more in a little bit because there are things we need to discuss involving this.” Ellen went back to her seat.

“Talia, be a dear and come forward.” Cassandra said.

“So, what two tied?” Talia asked.

Before she could continue Cassandra said, “All three.”

“You said you were using all three of your vetos considering that there is only Samantha and Mark left. I assume you are using one here then?”

“Indeed. I won’t be discarding one rather combining all three. While it might not seem like it will be much different, trust me it is.”

An Eccentric New Cult Leader: Talia has worshipped at the Altar of Laura, accepted her blessing and promised her devotion. As a genius it was always expected for Talia to be a bit eccentric if not mad. These eccentricities will be overlooked up to a point. Which will certainly help when Talia spreads the teachings of Laura she has been enlightened to, which Talia will try to spread to anyone willing to listen. As Laura’s High Priestess, Laura will give her the choice of one of three gifts each round. Talia will rename the item, and it will gain an appropriate effect. To preserve Laura’s divine enchantment Talia must spend BP or the enchantment will be lost at the end of the round. Talia shall also gain a portion of Laura’s divine magic to spread the joy and pleasure Laura so highly desires. Mark/Mary will not simply overlook her eccentricities though.

Talia could feel a well of mana form inside her. Then she felt the knowledge of Laura’s teachings enter her mind. Anything related to desire, sex, ****, rock and roll, and fertility, Talia now knew Laura’s beliefs on the matter. Okay that was a lot of info. Odd I sort of expected to be turned into a fanatic who had to worship my Goddess Laura. Wait… The Goddess Laura. Can I really not just say her name? Talia turned to face her Goddess. “Well that’s something at least. I don’t feel like I need to drop to my knees and bow before you, my splendid Goddess Laura.”

“Do you have to call me Goddess Laura?” Laura asked, a little annoyed at the title.

“Is there another form of address Her Divinity wishes to be called?” Talia did slightly bow as she asked this.

“How about just my name please.”

“Yes, my Goddess. I shall endeavor to call you by your holy name, Laura Elliot.”

“Just my first name please and this is making me a little uncomfortable.” Also rather horny.

“I’m sorry Laura. I did have to actually call you Goddess Laura at first. The rest of it was just me teasing you. I realized what you desired to be called immediately after you asked me if I had to call you Goddess Laura. I was just following your teachings after all. Thou shalt flirt with and tease your partner regularly, so that they know they are desired.”

“You’re messing with me more now aren’t you?”

“No, that's really one of your commandments. Honestly it’s going to be so much fun using this knowledge to do just that, My Goddess.” Talia nearly purred that title as she said it. Then sat down next to her goddess, smirking. Laura was flushed from being praised like that.

“Last but certainly not least among Mark’s girls, Samantha please come forward.” Sam obliged but didn’t particularly respond otherwise. While she looked better than before her eyes were still a little puffy and she looked exhausted from the challenge.

“Now Samantha as Talia pointed out there is just you and Mark left. I am using my third veto here, as you also had a threeway tie. While you will be getting Swab the Dick as is, the other two will be combined.”

Swab the Dick: Samantha will find that she needs to keep Mark’s dick clean and wet it often. How she does that is up to her. To help Sam with her aversion we will also make it so each time she cleans it, it will be a bit more appealing to her. [Sailor]

Secrets of the Ancestors: Samantha wants to be able to talk with her father. We will be giving her that opportunity. She will also be visited by both her own ancestors and the ancestors of the rest of the harem. Her ancestors will give advice they believe best and not try to trick her. While she need not always follow it, ignoring the spirits’ advice too much might cause one or more of them to take action to correct Samantha, or could sour the particular relationship she has with that spirit. The ancestors of others on the other hand will come to her when they wish to inform her of some piece of information about their descendants. While the spirits cannot lie these spirits might have ulterior motives.

As the magic settled over Samantha she turned to look at Mark. She could tell that Mark’s dick was currently mostly clean but had just a little bit of precum on the tip of it. Okay that… is going to be annoying. At least I don’t have to immediately deal with it. Samantha turned away from Mark as the effect of the second TF became obvious. There were a plethora of ghosts. Some had passing resemblances to those present others looked nothing like anyone here. Then all but one vanished. Dad… Sam had tears in her eyes. The ghost of Brian Irving walked over to his daughter and placed a hand on her cheek. It was cold to the touch but she didn’t flinch away.

Brian spoke words that only Sam and Cassandra could hear. “Sorry sailor, I wish I could wipe the tears from your face and give you a great big hug. One of the annoying bits of being dead.”

“I’m… I’m so happy to see you again.” Sam’s voice was cracking.

“Me too. I’ve been watching, can’t tell you much about the afterlife I’m afraid but we do get TV.”

“WAIT! You’ve been watching the show!?” Sam turned beat red in embarrassment.

Brian chuckled at her embarrassment. “Some, I requested that any intimate scenes be censored. I can’t stay long right now, but know I’m here for you. I also want to say I’m proud of you and the way you’ve been handling this shite. I also heard your thoughts while you were reading your mail. Sam those three are only alive today because of your mercy. Period. I meant what I told you, after they attacked you. Frankly I hope when they die they burn in the hottest fires of hell for what they did to you. I can’t say I’m happy you are on this show, but it’s helping you heal when nothing else has. You have two supportive partners who genuinely care about you.” Brian placed his hand on Samantha’s cheek and smiled then turned to Cassandra. “Cassandra, I don’t know whether to hate you or be grateful to you. I’m going to reserve judgement. Thank you though for letting me speak with my daughter again. I know it isn’t technically allowed normally but could I say something to the guy sitting next to you. It’ll be short.”

Cassandra considered Brian’s request and nodded. “You won’t be able to say much at all but yes.”

Mark could see Brian’s ghostly form now. Brian turned to him and said. “Thanks for taking care of Samantha. You seem to have a decent, if thick, head on your shoulders. Don’t fuck this up kid.” Then Brian vanished.

Sam looked like she was about to cry again. Mark stood up and wrapped her in a gentle hug. He said, “Your dad isn’t gone. I’m sure he’s still watching over you.” Sam just nodded silently while pressing her face into his chest and hugging him tightly.

Cassandra waited for a minute so Samantha could regain her composure. “Samantha, if you could take a seat so we can finish up here.” Samantha let go of Mark, nodded and took her seat. Allie wrapped an arm around Samantha and pulled her close to comfort her. “Now Mark, you also got a three way tie.”

Merida snorted out a laugh, tired as she was.

Cassandra turned to her and asked, “What’s so funny, Merida?”

“Ye've nae vetos left, hae ye? I was fair certain ye'd hae saved one tae veto somethin' like this. Why didnae ye?”

“Why would I have an issue with any of these TF’s winning?” Merida was now properly laughing and a second later Talia joined in with an impish grin of her own. “Seriously, what is so funny?”

“I’m a wee bit surprised, Cassandra. I thocht ye werenae interested in Mark. Why wid ye want his scent tae be arousing?” Cassandra looked at Merida in confusion. "Weel, ye're a wumman and wummen will find Mark's and Mary's new aroma rousin', it says sae richt there on the TF. But ye've nae veto tae fix this, hae ye?"

The color drained from Cassandra’s face as she reread the TF. FUCK ME SIDEWAYS. Goddamnit! Okay, okay, that prick is doing this crap on purpose. I’ll just have Zara file a complaint. Cassandra snapped her fingers and a transparent bubble of air formed around her head. Cassandra then sighed. “I hate this so so much. Fine let’s get this over with.”

I Am The Senate: When part of group decisions Mark’s/Mary’s words will hold more weight and be extra persuasive. Someone who is strongly opposed to his position can still defy the will of the senate. [Control][Boon]

You Are Who You Eat: When Mark/Mary eats out a member of the harem, He/She will gain one TF they have as a copy. He/She may actively select one or one will be selected for Him/Her. The TF will change to suit the appropriate anatomy but otherwise remain the same. Mary will also gain the non-human traits of the harem member the TF is from. [Transformation Central] [Boon]

Smelling of Roses: Royalty should always look, and smell, their best. From now on Mark/Mary will stay mysteriously clean no matter how dirty or sweaty he should be, and always smell of an expensive cologne that is desirable to the individual smelling him. (Perfume for Mary) Their new aroma will be slightly arousing to women. [The Prince][Boon]

Mark immediately noticed he felt cleaner, despite the earlier shower. His hair immediately styled into a clean part on one side, and took on a silky sheen. He also noticed his own smell changed to something with cinnamon. Cassandra then turned to Mark, “Now Mark, I must insist on two things this time. First is that you need to select one of Allie’s TFs to copy. Please do so now.”

Mark thought about it. “Cassandra… What would happen if I copied Maid of Honor? Would Isabella become my player 2?”

“No. What would happen is your Best Person would be brought onto the show. She would be in your harem and your player 2, but she wouldn’t compete like everyone else. Things would be different for her. She would still be a member of your harem though. So I’m going to assume you aren’t going to do that.”

“You would be correct. Hmmm I’m going to take Customizable Waifu.”

“Interesting choice. I would have thought you would have picked Walkthrough.” Cassandra mused.

“It was a consideration. I assume you won’t tell me if the changes I make to myself are permanent or not will you?”

“Where’s the fun in that?” She smirked. “Now the second thing you have to do. Switch over to Mary so we can see your wolf-girl form. Again I must insist.”

Mark rolled his eyes but shifted to Mary. She noticed that she had a fluffy tail and wolf ears. She also noticed various news smells, past her own perfume.

Her hearing had also improved. Which was when there was a collective squee, from multiple of the ladies as Allie, Sam, Isabella, Talia, Aubrey all rushed over to pet Mary’s hair, scratch behind her new ears or feel up her new tail. “Hey, quit that.” Mary shifted back to Mark. “Behave yourselves.”

The women looked a little embarrassed being overtaken by Mary’s adorableness and sat down. Mark noticed Chloe looked a little jealous that she didn’t get to pet Mary, and Sadie was currently floating. Laura just smirked at him. Flora was vigorously scratching behind Merida’s ears and Merida had her eyes closed. That is so cute. Mark then sat back down as well, and asked Cassandra. “So are we done then?”

“Almost. One last thing your class selection results have come in. Sadie, Flora, would you please come up and stand on opposite sides of the stage facing one another. Please take a look at the screen for your classes.”

• Allie: Feral Berserker (Melee)/Canine Champion (Tank)
• Isabella: Dancing Dervish (Melee)/Shadow Dancer (Utility)
• Merida: Foxfire Sage (Support)
• Talia: Chronomancer (Support)
• Ellen: Doppelganger (Utility)
• Flora: Dread Stalker (Ranged)
• Samantha: Guardian Dragon Knight (Tank)
• Laura: Eromancer (Ranged)
• Chloe: Alchemist (Ranged)
• Aubrey: The Pink Knight (Melee)
• Hilde: Disciple of the Hoof (Melee)
• Sadie Pixie Princess (Utility)
• Mark/Mary: Casanova (Healer)/Sultry Wench (Healer)

Cassandra continued. “Now I’ll give you each a couple minutes to think about who you will pick but there will be no further discussion about this. Don’t worry about who is getting Mark or Mary. I know the answer and it will be revealed after you have chosen your teams. Not that it matters since both are healers. Now Sadie picks first, then you alternate making two picks each, until Flora is left with the last pick. I will mention if you pick Allie you also get Isabella and that counts for your next two picks.” Sadie and Flora both looked at the list. After a few minutes Cassandra said, “So Sadie, who's it going to be? Also please join your team when you are called.”

“Laura.” Which got curious glances from Allie and Sam. Laura stood up and joined Sadie on one side.

Flora said without hesitation, “Merida.” She then paused for a moment. “I’ll also take Ellen.”

“I’ll take Samantha, as well as Allie and Isabella.” Sadie said immediately. I can’t believe I got that lucky.

Flora frowned. Well shit. There are no tanks left… I guess I’ll have to make up the difference with two melees. “Aubrey and Hilde.” Which means I’ll also get Chloe because there is no way in hell Sadie picks her.

“Talia.” Sadie said.

Cassandra finished, “Leaving Chloe to Flora’s team.” Cassandra then displayed the two teams.

Team Fairy Castle

• Sadie Pixie Princess (Utility) (Party Leader)
• Laura: Eromancer (Ranged)
• Samantha: Guardian Dragon Knight (Tank)
• Allie: Feral Berserker (Melee)/Canine Champion (Tank)
• Isabella: Dancing Dervish (Melee)/Shadow Dancer (Utility)
• Talia: Chronomancer (Support)
• Mark: Casanova (Healer)

Team Lioness’s Pride

• Flora: Dread Stalker (Ranged)
• Merida: Foxfire Sage (Support)
• Ellen: Doppelganger (Utility)
• Aubrey: The Pink Knight (Melee)
• Hilde: Disciple of the Hoof (Melee)
• Chloe: Alchemist (Ranged)
• Mary: Sultry Wench (Healer)

Cassandra then continued after giving everyone a moment to look at the teams. “I’ll mention that your date order is the order in which you were picked for your team with the party leaders being first. Laura and Samantha you are in the Velvet tower tonight and are sleeping buddies tomorrow at your camp. Allie, Isabella and Talia you are paired together at the Sultan’s Sugar Garden tonight. Flora and Merida you are in the Playhouse Kennel. Ellen and Aubrey you are in the Ballerina’s Boudoir. Chloe you may pick either room that your teammates are in for tonight. Sadie and Hilde, you will be with Mark and Mary tonight. Speaking of which…” Cassandra point both index fingers at Mark and separated them causing Mark and Mary to split, which disoriented them having two perspectives.

“Cassandra…” Mark and Mary spoke in unison and both continued. “Please tell me this isn’t going to last? It’s a little freaky.”

Cassandra snapped her fingers. “There you go. Your perspectives and memories will fuse back together after the LARP.” Mark and Mary now could function independently. Cassandra continued. “Sadie you will be with Mark tomorrow at camp as well, and Hilde you will swap out with Flora who will be with Mary tomorrow. Now, Allie, Isabella. Normally you two would be required to share Mark’s bed together. To not mess things up you each get one night with him separately. So the round will consist of today, twelve days of the LARP and then Challenge day. After the sixth day of the LARP Mark and Mary will swap teams. As a note most of their memories will be isolated from one another and while their forms will swap their memories will not. Meaning no need to worry about them not knowing what your team is up to on the seventh day. Now feel free to spend the rest of the day however you like but please make sure to pay Slevia a visit to get your starting equipment for tomorrow. Now there is just one last thing…”
