The Pressure drops

"Hehehehe!" Dana giggled as Suki blushingly attempted to dress herself in something appropriate for public, though Dana didn't really know why she was bothering. It wasn't like anyone other than the 10 of them, plus Nymeera and her foxes, were gonna see each other. Heck, she was still dressed in the stupidly skimpy little maid outfit she'd never be caught dead in if it didn't give her literal MAGIC POWERS! True, her magic powers right now weren't exactly anime protagonist level, but it was more than she'd ever be able to do in real life, and who knows? They could grow with use. Huh, weird that she thought of her time on Earth as "real life" and this...wasn't? It did still feel like a dream, especially with a girl like Suki walking around dressed in nothing but skimpy lingerie and a smile. Not that her smile was the thing you noticed about Suki...

"S-stop laughing!" Suki said, blushing fiercely as she tried desperately to pull some clothes on. Victoria was in the same boat, but unlike Suki she didn't seem to be all that bothered by the revelation that walking around in her underwear wasn't completely normal after all. If anything, she seemed to be enjoying the show as much, if not more, than Dana was...though Dana had a compulsive impulse toward voyeurism. What was Victoria's excuse?

"I tried to warn you," Dana said nonchalantly, kicking her legs and smiling. "I told you multiple times that walking around in your underwear was weird. Nymeera told you you were affected! Damien told you!"

"Well it didn't feel weird!" Suki shot back, tugging on a shirt that managed to cover up the soft pink babydoll lingerie she'd been wearing. Dana figured she'd be better just taking the whole thing off, but Suki seemed to be too flustered for that...which was weird honestly. Suki always struck Dana as someone who was more calculating and wouldn't even remember to be embarrassed if caught in the nude by her two roommates. Just went to show that people were more complex than they appeared at first blush. Heck, Victoria seemed totally different too! Dana would've figured there'd be some Christian repression disorder preventing her from looking at Suki's amazing body, but right now the toned brunette was practically running her tongue all over Suki's curves with her eyes... Dana swallowed hard, she was starting to get a little tingly remembering the sexy dream she'd had last night of Coach Victoria playing with Suki's body while she slept. She bit her lip to keep from mewling out loud.

"There. Do I look less like a porn star now?" Suki asked so innocently Dana forgot to laugh at the absurd statement. She and Victoria locked eyes for a moment and shared a smile.

"Who's gonna tell her?" Dana asked, causing Victoria to smirk.

"He who looks at another woman with lust in his heart is guilty of sin..." Victoria quoted, causing Dana to raise an eyebrow. As though she wasn't doing the exact same thing not five seconds ago! "I think you look good enough to eat, Suki. Really." Dana's OTHER eyebrow shot up, but Suki missed the innuendo that Victoria...did she imply it on purpose? Sure she was super hardcore Christian now but she definitely wasn't a prude... More flashbacks to last night's hot, naughty little dream flickering through her head made Dana's nipples harden a bit...what was she thinking about again?

"Thanks Victoria...and thank you for standing up for me, both with Nymeera and Crystal. I don't think they would've done anything...but I appreciate it."

"So you're not gonna tell her?" Dana questioned, just to be ignored by the two...friends? Were they friends now? What a fucking twist THAT would be! Great fodder for some late night fantasies though...oh yeah, she was questioning why Victoria was eyeing Suki up like a hungry dog salivating over a choice cut of meat.

"I just...well I'd be lying if I said my guilt didn't play a part in it," Victoria said, looking down and away as though she were being meek. Ha! No one with a look like THAT in their eye was that meek! "But it was the right thing to do. I just don't want anyone else to take advantage of you..."

"I..." Suki got really quiet and nodded slowly. "Thank you."

"Let's get some lunch. Syn should be back soon, though I know time is very weird here..." Victoria said, offering Suki a smile before standing and going to look out the window. "We can ask how her date went, get some tips for our own dates maybe?"

"Someone's gotta tell her..."

"Oh that's a good idea. I also have a deal with Syn I want to make sure to take advantage of... Um...do you want to change first though? You're not still...under that compulsion are you?"

"Oh no, I just don't really have anything else to wear. The only BP I got was from the Master Control...thing after all, and honestly the lingerie isn't all that much different from that cheerleader outfit. Now um...what deal are you talking about?"

Victoria's eyes suddenly went blank as she turned to look at Suki, they were back to their usual, focused self in an instant, but Dana couldn't help but get chills from that look, void of all emotion, that passed across her old coach's eyes...definitely not very Christian of her!

"Really? I mean...if you're sure I guess... I could um...buy you something if you want? I get a discount on clothes so...I wouldn't mind."

"Sure...but about Syn, and your deal with her? I hope you didn't promise anything too...valuable." Victoria was moving toward Suki now, getting a little closer than was strictly respectful, but Suki didn't seem to mind. Dana frowned a bit, not liking the tone Victoria was using, or how possessive she was acting. She basically brushed off Suki's kind, almost too kind, offer to buy some discounted clothes and was zeroing in on what Syn and Suki were doing together.

"Oh no no! It isn't what you think! I just asked her to give me some uh...sex tips. You know, for my date, and in return she'll get the BP from her transformation from me..."

"I see..." The air felt 10 degrees colder when Victoria said those two words, Dana shivered at the implication that passed right over Suki's head. Something about Victoria was off... "Well Suki, sweetheart..." suddenly Victoria was all smiles and warmth, but Suki frowned at the word choice. "Ah, I mean...Suki..." Victoria immediately noticed Suki's shift in expression and changed tact quickly, talking to her less like a child and more like an adult. "You do know that I have a transformation specifically for situations like that. With my Personal Lesson I can give you the help you desire, and so much more. I could upgrade your All Eyes on Me to make your body especially potent in bed, I'm sure... Or perhaps upgrade your Weapons of Mass Distraction? I'm sure I can think of something to do with them..." Dana frowned, Victoria's Personal Lesson didn't just upgrade other transformations though...it gave her VP AND a temporary copy. What was Victoria planning on doing with a copy of one of Suki's transformations? It didn't make sense...unless...

"No thank you." Suki's quick response had Dana and (not?)Victoria both flabbergasted. Suki herself, in turn, looked surprised at their reactions, causing a slightly delayed chain where everyone was looking at each other with surprised Pikachu face expressions...which might've caused Dana to laugh under different circumstances, but she was pretty sure that Victoria was not longer Victoria and was looking to take one of Suki's transformations in order to seduce and bang the other girls! That really shouldn't have sounded so hot...

"Why not?" Victoria asked through gritted teeth. Dana unconsciously started to move toward Suki, defensively, only to stop dead as Victoria eyed her coldly.

"Oh, I don't think we should have sex because..." Suki looked down with a nervous smile, actually twiddling her thumbs. Girl! Read the fucking room! Was all of this really going over her head right now? "Well, you know our history. Obviously you do, I'm sorry I'm not trying to say you're stupid or anything...oh this is all so hard..."

"Just...try your best..." Victoria said with the vocal strain of someone at the end of their patience. Should Dana interrupt? Should she let Suki finish? Should she warn her? Should she...just watch and see what happens? Let Victoria take advantage of Suki? Make that dream into a reality? Oh fuck the dream...what if... Dana's breathing was getting heavy, and her legs were pressing together tightly. She tried to conceal her reactions from (not)Victoria, but Victoria wasn't paying her any attention anyway.

"Well, you're trying to change, to better yourself. It wouldn't be right of me to put you into another situation like in the past where you'd be tempted to give into your old impulses...especially with that transformation that puts those impulses in your head uh...vocally. So I've decided that the best move would be for us to never have sex with each other." Dana looked towards (not)Victoria with wide eyes. The woman's face was a deathly mask of smooth, blank rage. Suki couldn't seem to interpret this, but it was obvious that Victoria was struggling to not start cussing her out. Well...apparently not that obvious, Suki was still twiddling her thumbs innocently.

"You're very sweet Suki..." Victoria said, as though each word physically pained her to utter. "I appreciate you taking the time to consider my feelings...why don't you go talk to Syn then? I wanted to talk to Dana about something..."

"Oh no!" Dana said, getting up very suddenly. "I've seen this anime before! Suki if you leave now I'm gonna be found dead in the morning!" Suki blinked with wide-eyed horror, mouth hanging agape.

"W-what?! Is that what happens in animes?" Dana's eye twitched a little a the unnecessary pluraliting...pluralizing? Pluraliticizing? Maybe Dana didn't have much of a leg to stand on here after all...

"Dana's just being funny. She knows I wouldn't hurt her...I don't think Nymeera would even let me."

Somehow Dana didn't feel comforted by that... She could just **** the issue, tell Suki not to leave and explain that she thought Victoria's other self had somehow taken over and was now the one speaking and moving and everything...but did she want to **** (not)Victoria's hand? Right now she seemed perfectly happy to keep civil while Suki didn't suspect that she wasn't speaking to the regret filled born again former inmate. What to do...

"Dana?" Suki asked, looking at Dana with big, wide doe eyes. Fuck why did she have to have that transformation that made her so attractive? Dana's mind just cast back to the night before, gorgeous Suki asleep and unaware, as (not)Victoria slid her fingers in and out of that wet, slippery pussy...

"Sorry, was that in poor taste?" Dana asked lightheartedly, laughing loudly, a bit **** actually... Suki frowned a bit. Really? NOW she was suspicious and perceptive! "It's good, if I need anything I'll just call you. I'm sure whatever Victoria wants to talk about is important. Right?"

"Oh, life or **** for certain." Dana gulped subtly. Was she REALLY sure about this? ...yes, she was.

"Wow. Well, I guess don't wait up then. Tell Syn I said hi," Dana said with a smile, masking her nerves as best she could.

"Okay, I'll tell her. Thanks, I'll see you both later."

"Of course, we're all in this together after all," Victoria said, watching Suki's ass as she walked out of the room and closed the door.

"Okay, what the hell?! Are you really Victoria? You're the evil one right? Fuck, how did this happen? I could've sworn everything was fine last night...but that dream...that wasn't a dream was it?" Dana asked...exclaimed? Panickily rambled?

"I never knew how hard it would be to hide my impulses..." Victoria mused to herself, remaining calm and stretching out luxuriously on the bed. Dana wasn't really into girls though, Suki being an obvious exception, and so she didn't feel the desire to ogle her former coach's evil half's body. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised though...after all I started off as these impulses. Hiding them feels like turning into a frog...or perhaps a rabbit..." Dana's little bunny heart was beating so fast, she was ready to leap away at a moment's notice. Is this what it was like being a frightened little bunny and watching a hawk swoop down towards her with talons extended? No...(not)Victoria had yet to extend her talons...

"The impulse to **** your students you mean!" Dana accused boldly, immediately regretting her choice of words, but (not)Victoria just chuckled.

"Sure," she shrugged, as though the accusation meant that little to her. "Oh be quiet Victoria. She can't even hear you anyway, and even if she could, you can't change back without my say so..." Dana's ears twitched, now THAT was a juicy carrot of information... Nugget! Dana was NOT a rabbit! ...mostly.

"Victoria's still in there huh? But she can't get out without you agreeing to it...Ev-ictoria-l?"

"Just...Vicky is fine..." Oh thank god, that was literally the best Dana could come up with on such short notice! "Anyway, while I do enjoy some **** play," Vicky licked her lips slowly, leading Dana to believe that "enjoy" was a very shallow way of putting it. "I don't think it has to come to that here... Not in this lovely playground we've been so generously given. Victoria thought this was Hell, a place to punish us for our desires and repent for being who we are, but she couldn't have been more wrong. This is Eden...and in this garden lay so many fruits ripe for the plucking."

"Wow...the symbology is strong with this one... Symbology is a word right?" Dana hoped so, cause Victo- err Vicky was sounding really cool right now. A proper anime villain, and she kinda wanted to sound cool too...uh but also make sure no one was going to get hurt!

"Yes Dana, it's a word. I'm honestly very glad you decided to stay and chat with me, I felt certain that you were going to call me out right away..." Vicky's smile turned sinister. "Victoria was praising God that her prayers were finally answered. I guess she was a little premature..."

"Maybe..." Dana said, standing up to her full 5' 3" height...what? She could include the ears if she wanted, they were a part of her! "I haven't decided how this will go yet," Dana lied, licking her lips nervously. Vicky raised an eyebrow and remained seated. She felt so much bigger than Dana, so much more of a presence... Dana felt small and **** next to her...her pussy was dripping. "What do you plan on doing? I know you've been cozying up to Suki...you want one of her transformations. Either one of them would let you influence other Contestants and get them to sleep with you without much trouble, and you might even get rewarded for it if the audience finds it hot enough. That's it right?"

"And if it is?" Vicky purred seductively... Dana's heart pounded fiercely. "Do you want that Dana? Is that what you're hoping happens to you? That I get Suki's Weapons of Mass Distraction transformation, and use it to make you into my docile little pet?" Dana resisted the urge to roll her eyes. If Vicky was thinking that she was definitely barking up the wrong- "Or perhaps you'd just like to watch?" Dana's heart skipped a beat and suddenly she was blushing heavily. Watching... Her voyeurism transformation was hitting her hard right now...she imagined last night's not dream again...only this time Vicky was using those small breasts to bend Patika to her will...Gabriella's eyes losing their light...Summer slipping out of her clothes...Crystal helping her sister undress...

"Y-you got me..." Dana said, sheepishly...well bunnishly, her tail twitching a little as she shifted her feet to and fro... "B-but I'm not gonna just stand by and let you hurt my friends okay?" This WAS a sticking point with Dana honestly... This Harem Hotel was supposed to be a fun, magical vacation, an escape from the mundane and the harshness of reality. She didn't want anyone to get hurt...but if she and Vicky could help them 'loosen up' a little... If everyone could have as much fun on this vacation as she was having... Surely that couldn't be a bad thing? And if that wasn't a bad thing then maybe...maybe...Dana could get what she wanted too.

"Oh Dana," Vicky chuckled condescendingly. Honestly though it just made Dana more willing to partner with her... "My intentions are the absolute opposite. I assure you, I have no desire to see anyone here experiencing pain..." The lustful look in Vicky's eye was more than enough to hint at what kind of experience she had in mind...

"T-then..." Dana's heart was still beating so fucking fast... Was this playing with fire? Was she flying too close to the sun? Oh, but all this magic was such a tease. It was what she'd always wanted, right there at her fingertips, and yet tantalizingly out of reach... "I think I have an idea you might enjoy..." Dana said taking out the Hypno-Coin. One of those fan mail letters had given her a really great idea, and she was itching to try it out. Vicky smiled like the cat that had cornered the canary, and Dana couldn't help but lick her lips. The evil twin coach had no idea who she was dealing with. Vicky assumed Dana was at the mercy of her transformation, her desire to go invisible and peep on her fellow cheerleaders was clouding her judgement, but no. Dana didn't want to watch Vicky. Dana wanted to be Vicky. And once the girls had undergone a little...alteration, she was confident everyone would be so much happier.

'Fucking Syn...' Damien thought to himself as he made it back to the Hotel, working desperately to get his pants back on over his throbbing erection. Syn was an absolute expert at keeping him worked up with those soft hands and sharp tongue...he shivered just remembering how she slid her fingers along his length, pressing under the head as she moaned out promises in his ears... What she, as well as Damien, hadn't expected was that when Nymeera said four hours, she wasn't going to be warning them when their time was up! So while Syn was returned fully clothed just outside the hotel, albeit in a rather slutty policewoman's outfit, Damien was plopped straight onto his back on the hard cobblestone road with his pants around his ankles! No warning, no soft landing, just 'poof' right out in the open! Then Syn had the audacity to tease him more, telling him she'd see him later and hoping his other dates weren't so...hard. If she wasn't so gorgeous she couldn't get away with shit like this... At least now he was inside the hotel lobby and out of the-

"Um...Damien?" ...open. Damien turned to see Lauren approach him from the Contestant's elevator, looking very nervously down at his crotch, only to dart her eyes back up to his face quickly. "I-is this a bad time?"

Damn it... Damien could feel his face heating up. He was embarrassed. He hadn't felt this embarrassed in a long time, not since he was a very young man and ended up fainting in his high school cafeteria in front of everyone. At least then he didn't have to be conscious for a portion of it...

"Ah...apologies," Damien said, clearly trying to play off his state of dress and...situation as cool as he could, but Lauren's face was turning red now too, and her embarrassment was just fueling his own. "Let me just fix this..." Damien said, yanking his pants up and trying not to think about the rather large bulge protruding out. Luckily the embarrassing situation was deescalating his...tension, and Lauren didn't seem interested in staring. Actually she looked like she had something on her mind that she really wanted to get off her chest.

"Sorry... I guess your date went...well? Or maybe not so well?" Lauren said, averting her eyes politely while Damien adjusted himself.

"Well, I'd like to think it went well...but with someone like Syn it's kinda difficult to tell."

"I suppose that's true," Lauren said with a small smile. "She reminds me a bit of my daughter actually, all rebellious and insistent on doing things her way and never asking for anyone's help. I would've hoped that those kinds of impulses would fade away with age...but I guess some people never really grow out of that phase huh?" Damien nodded, finding himself smiling back at Lauren. The young housewife was certainly wise for her age...though Damien had to remind himself that, thank to Nymeera's magic, none of them looked their own age anymore.

"Well, it was definitely memorable at least..." Damien finished off, scratching the back of his head awkwardly. Lauren turned to look at him and offered a quick smile, but it was very clear that her heart wasn't in it.

The young woman looked troubled by something, and seeing her concern was very sobering for Damien. "Is everything okay?" Damien asked, standing and giving Lauren his full attention. He wanted her to feel as though she could confide in him, so he made sure his body language displayed that he was going to take whatever she said seriously. It was something that he'd had to learn as a teacher. Even if a student came to him for help, it wasn't always easy for them to ask.

"Well...I don't know," Lauren said, fiddling idly with her fingers. "I'm just...worried I guess..."

"Worried about what?" Lauren took a breath, inhaling and exhaling in one smooth motion, clearly a practiced habit she'd developed.

"Victoria..."

"Victoria?" Damien frowned, that wasn't what he expected to hear. "Is she alright? Is she..." Damien didn't know the polite way to ask whether or not a person was sexually harassing her peers, but luckily Lauren seemed to pick up on what he was saying without the need for the exact words.

"No, not that I know of anyway...but ever since we all had breakfast together this morning she's been... I don't know if I can really explain it, but she feels 'off' somehow." Damien wasn't sure what Lauren meant, Victoria wasn't exactly someone he knew well... Obviously he knew of her back before she'd been arrested, but they hadn't had a lot of interaction with each other, and now that she was in his harem he still hadn't talked much with her. He didn't even know if they'd been here for a full 24 hours yet! So he didn't really understand what Lauren meant when she said Victoria felt 'off.' He didn't think anyone could really make that judgement less than a day in on their living under the same roof. That said, he didn't want Lauren to feel as though he was dismissing her concerns...and he also didn't want to dismiss her concerns out of hand.

"Well, is it possible that she's just adjusting to this whole...show thing? I know I certainly am!" Damien asked, trying to use a bit of a teacher's trick to encourage Lauren to come up with her own answers rather than simply telling her what to think.

"I suppose...and normally I wouldn't say anything, but that transformation of hers...worries me." Lauren grimaced a bit, and Damien couldn't blame her. Having a transformation that made your worst impulses into an alternate personality in your head that could take control at any time was...a disturbing thought, to say the least. It suddenly made a lot of sense why Lauren brought this up. "If there's a chance she's...not herself anymore, I don't want to wait around hoping everything is fine... Plus, she's rooming with Suki right now! What if..." Lauren cut herself off, and played with the hem of her crop top, tugging it a little to loosen it up... Were her boobs bigger? Not the time Damien!

"Do you think Victoria is trying to do something to Suki?"

"I..." Lauren looked genuinely distraught, she kept glancing down at her feet, then left and right...anywhere but directly in front of her. Damien could see the mother in her, worrying about her children like the kind hearted matron she was. "I don't know, but she's been staying at Suki's side all day, the two are nearly inseparable, and the way she looks at Suki sometimes it...well it worries me. Am I crazy? Am I just some helicopter parent jumping at shadows?" Lauren's grimace told Damien this wouldn't be the first time she's been called overbearing...

"I don't think it's wrong to worry about another person's well-being. Particularly not a teammate you once knew," Damien said, putting a hand on Lauren's shoulder, and causing her to finally glance up at him. "You came here to ask me to talk to Victoria right? Well, there's no harm in talking, and if I don't like what I hear, well I'm sure there are ways for the Master to deal with it," Damien said with a strong, he hoped, smile. Lauren nodded, and placed her hand on his in a platonic way. "For now, just keep your eyes open, but don't spread panic around with the other girls. We'll need to tell them if Victoria has lost control to whatever darker self Nymeera cooked up, but we don't need to scare them needlessly if that isn't the case. Would you agree with that?"

"Yeah... And thanks, I'll be sure to do just that. Um...welcome back," Lauren said, turning and walking back toward the elevator. Damien opened his mouth to thank her for coming to him and trusting him with this, despite having several good reasons not to what with him being propped up as their Master.

"Good Girl." Lauren's eyes rolled up in her head and she moaned deeply and loudly, causing Damien to start blushing again. It was over in an instant, but both he and Lauren looked mortified. "I'm so sorry I didn't mea-"

"No no, I understand... Oh god what will my husband think... I'm...for another man...oh no..." Lauren mumbled to herself, walking away briskly and leaving Damien alone with his thoughts and trying not to stare at the way that short little skirt didn't quite hide the toned curve of her backside.

"This show..." he said quietly to himself, heading to the Master elevator and going up to his room. He would've liked to find Victoria now, but unfortunately, thanks to a rather curvaceous little redheaded minx...he had something he needed to take care of first. And here he thought he'd be beyond the need to 'relieve some tension' with the way the show is structured. Still, at least it was an option, and he really doubted the audience would be allowed to see him do anything that wasn't one of the girls. As long as Nymeera didn't do anything mischievous.

Damien opened the door and stared at the heavenly sight before him...probably shouldn't be thinking about it that way but here he was. Crystal was cleaning up...honestly Damien couldn't give less of a fuck what she was cleaning, and her maid outfit was riding up high, exposing her plush, round backside for his viewing pleasure. Immediately his dick reminded him of how Syn had tortured it so well just minutes prior, roaring back to stand at attention and salute the gorgeous blonde beauty in front of him.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Crystal heard him enter and whirled around to face him, glowering icily for a moment before calming down instantly. "Right, this IS your room, and I half expected Nymeera to pull this shit anyway. Let me guess, your date just finished and you only just now got back? Fucking fox, messing with time to ensure I have to do this in front of you."

"I..." Damien started to reply

"You could at least look me in the eye while you explain..." Crystal said impatiently. Damien wanted to politely disagree. That maid outfit on Crystal was doing some miraculous things to her chest... Her bosom looked much rounder and bigger than usual, practically on par with Suki! Still...he could make an effort to not ogle her and look her in the eye. At least she wasn't trying to draw his attention to her breasts like Syn would have... Damn it! Here he was alone with a gorgeous woman and Syn was still popping up in his head. The woman was a fucking witch! It was like she cast a spell on him!

"Sorry, I was...not ready for this," Damien said speaking more honestly than at any point in his life. "Yeah I just got back from my date with Syn. I'm guessing you're here to start our date?" Right away? No rest at all? Nymeera was a savage woman...

Crystal smiled...wow she was gorgeous when she smiled, almost made it possible to not let his eyes drop down to her breasts...almost. "No, I'm here to clean your room, make your bed, lay out your clothes...and whatever else I need to do to make sure I get paid the full BP for doing this ridiculous task. As for our 'date,' don't get your hopes up. I'm here for one reason, and one reason only. To make sure that whatever happens, Summer is safe from you." Smile gone, voice clipped and icy...well at least Damien didn't have to worry about Crystal being replaced by her dark impulses... She seemed to have started out that way.
