Shopping and Roomates

Olivia Booker

The young woman was lying on top of the covers of her bed, staring at the ceiling. She hadn't even bothered to take off her boots.

She, Lauren, and Ji-Woo had declined to continue Alison's tour, having asked the others to simply update them. Alison had agreed, which was something Olivia assumed wouldn't have been the case had Azure been leading it instead.

Olivia had nearly changed her mind when she heard that Lauren was staying, but fortunately, the high school bitch had gone to inspect the changing rooms, yelling some nonsense about killing someone if all her outfits weren't there.

This gave the MMA fighter some much-needed quiet to contemplate her situation. Everything had happened so fast, and it still didn't feel real. One minute she was yelling at her brother and telling him to leave the house. The next she was surrounded by strangers

She wondered if the unrealness of it all was keeping her from being as pissed as she should be. Lord knows she had been driven into rages for far less. But still, there was so much she didn't know. Or rather, there were a ton of things being explained to her, but she wasn't sure what to believe.

For instance, everyone said she was a replacement for a prior contestant. But any time she asked about it, they just talked about Jezebel, their words being censored.

As for Azure, every time that woman spoke Olivia's BS censors were blaring on full volume. It was obvious she was lying through her teeth, and that her talk about rules and being a fair host was a total sham.

Oliva's contemplations were interrupted by the opening and closing of the bedroom door, followed by stomping footsteps.

"Godamn it" Olvia sighed, not even bothering to look at Lauren enter.

"I AM SO FUCKING PISSED!" Lauren shrieked, which made Oliva wince the way someone would to nails on a chalkboard.

"Oh really?" she asked in sarcastic surprise. "What is it this time?"

"What is it?" Lauren asked incredulously. "Just look at me!"

Oliva finally looked over at Lauren and saw that her outfit had changed. The angry goth now wore nothing but a cleavage-exposing corset, fishnets, a black thong, and necklaces.

"I take it they didn't have your old outfits then?" Olivia asked, a smirk creeping on her face.

"No! They did have it all. But when I put on my favorite sundress it morphed into this... monstrosity!"

Lauren expected Olivia to gasp in horror at her misfortune, but the MMA fighter barely reacted. Lauren added, "That dress cost over 3 grand!"

"Seriously?" Olivia asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I know right?! I'm going to demand they reimburse me!" Lauren said, feeling like Olivia was finally showing sympathy for her plight.

However, Olivia shook her head. "No, I mean you spent 3 grand on a sundress?"

"I didn't. My dad did." Lauren countered, not realizing that this just made her look even worse to Olivia.

"Holy shit. You're my spoiled than I thought" Olivia groaned, looking back at the ceiling.

"Screw you. Like your dad never got you anything!"

Oliva burst out laughing at this.

"What the hell is so funny?!" Lauren demanded, but Olivia kept laughing. The mental image of her father ever getting her a nice gift was just too absurd.

"You know what?! I don't need this man-hands!" Lauren declared, and marched out of the room, slamming the door as she went.

Sophia Maoulin

Alison continued to lead Sophia, Tomoko, Kaitlyn, and Elina throughout the castle, continuing to drone on as she did. Sophia couldn't help but notice two more doors with golden locks and silver numbers (84 and 132) or "secret doors" as Alison called them. They were slightly tucked away in the corner of various rooms, but far from hidden. Sophia asked the maid a few more times about them but was always ignored.

"And now for our final two stops... the Item Shop and the Dining Hall," Alison said bored.

In front of the tour were two doors. One was a large, grand door in front of them. The other was smaller and looked more modern, with a "closed sign" pinned to the front.

Kaitlyn asked "Is this the end, Alison? Because I'm not ready to stop watching that cute maid ass of yours."

Kaitlyn slapped her hands in front of her mouth in shock, having almost entirely forgotten about her flirtation punishment.

Alison raised an eyebrow, the closest thing to a reaction she had given them this entire tour.

Kaitlyn tried to explain. "Sorry, I just meant I want to see if your blue curtains match your drapes. GOD DAMN IT!"

An awkward silence followed, which was broken when the large doors in front of them opened, and out strutted Jezebel. Noticing the tour group, she beamed at them. "Hai guyz! Just in time! Come on in!"

The second door opened on its own for her, and the closed sign flipped itself to open. Meanwhile, Kaitlyn and Elina groaned and whimpered respectively at seeing Jezebel, the image of her transformation still fresh in their minds.

Sophia was the first of the group to move forward, eager to see the shop for herself. Inside she saw that the walls were covered with shelves containing stacks upon stacks of card with different backs. In one of the corners was a small monitor displaying the scores, which had not changed since they first split up. At the far end, Jezebel parked her ass on the table, giving the entering customers a wide smile.

Kaitlyn and the rest followed Sophia in. Looking around, the Peterson sister asked "I thought this was supposed to be a store to help us. All they sell here is paper."

Jezebel's eyes unfocused slightly. "Silly Billy. The information you want is written on the cards" she said in a voice that tried to match her ditzy personality but sounded somewhat robotic. When she stopped speaking her eyes refocused. "Wowza! That was weird."

"Uh... ok..." Elina said. "So what kind of things can we get here?"

Sophia was the one to answer. "This section here says clothing," she remarked, looking at a label on each shelf. "And these say transformations."

"TRANSFORMATIONS?!" Elina and Kaitlyn shouted in alarm. Meanwhile, Tomiko had already picked a card at random and was reading.

"Actually there's like five transformation shelves," she said, looking around. She then grabbed a few cards at random and looked at their backs. "They all just have a BP cost and a name"

"What kind of names?" Elina asked, nervous to read them for herself.

"Stuff like Daily Bust Boost, Dirty Dancer, Always Wet, Hu-Cow Deluxe, Cum at my Name, Hello Nurse," Sophia listed, too focused on absorbing the information to react to how horrific they sounded.

Kaitlyn laughed in disbelief. "Why the hell would anyone buy one of those? Especially if you're already sexy like Tomiko? Shit!"

"Thanks!" Tomoko smiled. Meanwhile, Alison answered their question, having silently entered. "You can also purchase the transformation for someone else."

"Why would any of us do that?" Elina asked.

"To sabotage their chances with the master. Or perhaps help them, if you think a transformation could aid them."

"Surely none of us would screw with each other like that," Elina said offended. However, Kaitlyn looked unsure.

"What does 'One-Shot' mean?" Tomoko asked, noticing the label on one of the shelves.

Jezebel's eyes were unfocused again. "You're such a smarty for asking," she said, her tone not matching the bubbly words she was saying. "One-shots can be purchased to give yourself a one-time advantage or effect during your time here, including the challenges. You can spend it at any time, but once you use it, it's gone."

Sophia rushed over to the shelf Tomoko found, nearly crashing into her. The more this entire thing sounded like a video game, the more excited she became.

Alison added "Also, all items here are exclusive. Once someone buys a Transformation, One-Shot, or Item, no one else can ever get it."

Jezebel look impressed. "Wow! You're smart. Maybe you should be the shopkeeper Ali. Though you may not have the bod to pull off the bikini" she giggled, for some reason thinking her state of dress was an official shopkeeper uniform.

Sophia was rapidly reading through the cards. "These one-shots at least give more details than the transformations did," and she began listing the first few she pulled:

• 20 BP: Allow self to veto the hosts veto. The host may use the veto on someone else.
• 30 BP: Turn back time 10 seconds. Useful to correct a single mistake.
• 20 BP: When another contestant loses VP, you may expend this to lose twice that instead. You gain BP equal to the amount you lost.
• 20 BP: Swap VP with a contestant with less VP. Gain half difference in BP (rounding down)
• 100 BP: Have the master all to yourself for 24 hours. Time will freeze for the game and all other contestants.

"You can freeze time?" Elina gasped.

"After what Azure showed us, I believe it," Kaitlyn sighed.

For the next few minutes, the girls continued to look around. Aside from the One-Shots and Transformations, the other items seemed relatively tame. The Clothing section simply had an image of an outfit and cost, most of which were fairly cheap. There was also a section to purchase 'Levi Trivia' such as learning his fetishes, dreams, and insecurities. The latter was separated into at least 10 other cards.

There was one shelf that stood out the most though. It was almost empty, except for a single small book. "What's this?" Kaitlyn asked.

Jezebel answered, in her controlled voice, "That's the waiting list to spend time with Levi. In the morning someone is chosen to spend the night with him. If no one signs up it's random, but you can spend 1 BP to add someone’s name to be chosen."

"Oh yeah, she told us about that" Tomoko laughed.

Elina's eyes widened, having entirely forgotten about how she had been chosen for tonight. "What time is it?"

"6:59 PM" Alison answered without checking.

"IT'S ALMOST SEVEN?! ALREADY?" Elina shouted at Alison, having completely lost track of time.

"Yes. You were **** after school, so you arrived at five. And time moves linearly last I checked."

"I have to go and..." Elina began, but a shutter flowed through her body. The new princess turned 180 on her heel, placed her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and began strutting out of the shop. Like Jezebel before, her body was moving like she was showing off her stuff on a catwalk.

Late for Date Night: -10 VP

Alison was Taking her Sweet Time with the Tour: +3 VP

The corner monitor updated the score, though Elina was already out of the room.

"Is she going to be ok?" Sophia asked in concern. "Doesn't her 'Damsel in Distress' get worse the lower she is in the ranking?"

"Wow, how do you remember that?" Tomoko asked in astonishment.

"It's called paying attention to the game" Sophia replied, more rudely than she intended.

Alison answered. "Getting a contestant to the master for their date takes priority over any transformation. She'll be safe on her way there and as long as she's in his tower. Though she will have no such protection when she leaves."

Jezebel laughed. "So she better get suuuppperrr laid if she wants to stop being a bottom!" She then blushed. "Gohhdddd,.... that makes me sooooo wet just thinkin' about it. I better ask her the deets after. We are roomies after all."

"In any case can we move on? You can come back here any time and I'm getting bored of this tour" Alison said.

"You go on ahead" Sophia replied. "I want to see all the options here."

"You're not seriously considering buying a Transformation are you?" Kaitlyn asked in disgust. Though her mouth added "You're boobs already got a glow up. Shit."

Sophia ignored the last part. "It's a game remember. There's never a disadvantage to knowing all your options."

Kaitlyn was going to snap back, but she couldn't argue with that logic.

"Well, I want to see the dining hall! I'm starving!" Tomoko said loudly.

Kaitlyn nodded in agreement. Alison turned out of the room and the other two followed.

Sophia turned to Jezebel. "Do you have a notebook I can write on?"

"You can write on my tits if you want" she giggled.

"Uh... no thanks."
