The Tour

As soon as The Fates released their hold on our bodies, Sadie jumped at Annabeth, barking excitedly as she hugged her.

"This is sooo weird," Sadie said as she hugged Annabeth. "Like I know you're not actually my mom but I never really had one in the old world, so this is honestly a blessing and sorry if it's weird —"

"It's fine, honey," Annabeth said with a chuckle, her tail wagging behind her. "I remember raising you as well, after all."

"Focus," Clotho ordered. "We are currently in the meeting room, where all important briefings shall occur. Exit, and you shall be at the infinity pool. Follow me."

We all followed Clotho as she led us out of the meeting room and past the pool.

Sadie came up to me. "Hey, Daddy."

"Hey, Sadie," I said with a smirk. " How'd you like getting raised by me?"

"It was honestly a treat," Sadie said, giving me a hug. "I'm... Thankful for the technically fake time we had."

"Me too," I said, kissing her forehead.

Clotho came to a stop in front of a large modern building. "We are now at the dining hall. This building contains everything to do with food, from a banquet hall, to a breakfast nook."

"Is food preparation a necessity from our side?" Mom asked.

"As you are no doubt aware, all the nymphs that would do such jobs are dead," Atropos glared. "So, yes, I think it's necessary from you."

Mom raised her hands in surrender. "Message received, I'll do the cooking, it'd be enjoyable."

"I'll help you, Sally Jackson," Amphitrite offered.

"The dining hall has been placed at the center of all four Houses," Lachesis said. "We'll start with the South House, the Pyramid."

Sadie perked up at that. "Like Giza?"

Atropos chuckled. "Although the abode is underground, it is quite smaller."

We stopped in front of a pyramid that was probably two times my height.

"Pretty fancy ass abode," I said, looking at it. "I'd assume that the inside is really cool, honestly."

"Yes," Lachesis said. "Two Queen sized beds, as well as a beautiful bathroom. For this Season, this room is for Annabeth Chase, Rachel Elizabeth Dare, and Clarisse LaRue."

"Where's my bed?" Clarisse asked, blunt as usual.

"It is the... Test for each room," Clotho said. "Who's going to share the bed?"

"You're pushing the agenda too hard," I said, rolling my eyes.

"Regardless, it is time to show the West House, the Temple," Atropos said, presenting to us what looked almost exactly like the Greek gods' temples, with the round table pillars and all. "For this Season, the inhabitants of this house shall be Juno, Zoë Nightshade, and Amphitrite."

I sighed in relief. I was really worried how things would go down if anyone else was **** to interact with Juno every night.

"Now, for the East House, the Shrine," Clotho said, guiding us to a small house with rafters and colors like a Japanese temple. "For this Season, this house will be occupied by Sally Jackson, Lucia Castellan, and Sadie Kane."

"You ready to fuck shit up, Grandma?" Sadie asked Mom, then she blushed. "Oh, sorry, I defaulted to my memories."

"I like it," Mom said after a moment.

Sadie grinned. "Of course you do."

Atropos ignored our conversation. "For the last cardinal direction, we have the North House, the Hotel."

Interestingly enough, though Atropos called it the Hotel, it looked more like a large modern log house.

"For this Season, it shall be your House, and as such, it is outfitted with a single King bed," Clotho explained. "Now, if you could follow me."

Clotho led us away from the houses, until we reached a separate building which looked like a small grocery store.

"This is the Shop," Clotho said, staring at us as if she made the greatest proclamation ever. "Over here is where you use your Drachma."

"What can we buy from here?" Lucia asked.

"Many things," Atropos said. "For one, the Transformations you didn't receive that were in the votes. Come to the person who's name is on the Transformation, and we may make a deal with you for the Transformation! Beyond those, we have other Transformations, and Punishment Transformations for sale! We also have items and clothing for everyone."

"Yes," Clotho said. "Feel free to peruse the shop on your own availability. We shall now head to the Date Hall."

Clotho led us to a door.

And I know you're thinking that I mean she led us to a building— no, she led us to a door, connected to a frame, and nothing else.

"This is for your Dates," Lachesis said. "Contestants, on your Date morning, put your hands against the door and Hall will remake itself under your requirements."

"You still haven't given us the Date schedule," Rachel said.

"Of course," Atropos said. "That shall be provided at dinner, which we assume will be ready in 30 minutes. Having shown you the Date Hall, the Tour is over. There are other areas on the Island, but they are nonessential for your day to day life."

Having said that, the Sisters of Fate simply teleported away.

"Well, I'll be making dinner," Mom said. "Milady Amphitrite, if you'd like to join me?"

"Of course," Amphitrite said, joining my mom.

"Ok, while we're waiting, I'm thinking that the best way to use our time is to check out the Shop?" Annabeth offered.

"I agree," Zoë said. "After all, it might offer respite."

I shrugged. "Might as well check it out."

We entered the Shop, where we found Lachesis sitting at the countertop.

"Welcome!" Lachesis said, acting like an overzealous store employee. "Is there anything you're looking for?"

I stared at Lachesis for a few seconds. "Yeah, no, I don't need anything from you."

I looked at the signs above each aisle. "Alright, guys. Let's just start with Aisle 1 and go down upto Aisle 5."

"Fair enough," Rachel said, then she read the sign on top of Aisle 1. "Aisle 1: ASOV. What does Asov mean?"

"It's an acronym," Lachesis explained. "As Seen On Voting."

The aisle's shelves were filled with little gift card things.

Clarisse picked one up and read it. "Damsel In Distress {Lachesis}, 400 Drachma."

"Exactly!" Lachesis said. "All of the Transformations that didn't go through during the voting is now available here for purchase! If you buy it for yourself, it's 400 Drachma, however, if you buy it for someone else, it's 110. Buuuuuut, I can make a deal with any of you. If you buy it for Annabeth and Sadie, I'll sell it for 150 total."

"Why is buying it for oneself so much more expensive?" Lucia asked.

"Who doesn't want more domains?" Lachesis asked. "Of course we're going to hike the price to just giving yourself another domain."

"Fair," Lucia said. "And I'm assuming your two Sisters will also have offers about their rejected Transformations that are here in the Shop?"

"How shrewd of you!" Lachesis said. "Yes, they are. Just ask, me and I'll tell you what my Sisters want."

"Alright," I said. "Lucia, if I even get wind of you pulling shit, I swear —"

Lucia raised her hands up. "I won't do anything, calm down."

I glared at him, heading to the next aisle.

Again, this aisle was filled with the little cards, but reading them, I could see the difference from the first aisle.

Just Joshin': Grow your breasts to a J-cup. (50 Drachma)

Rousing Your Arousal: You get aroused 25% faster. (40 Drachma)

Let's Fucking Go: Become more liable to follow your impulsive decisions. (90 Drachma)

Light-(e)-ning: Gain the body type of Thor. (400 Drachma)

"It would seem that they have restricted domains with a price," Zoë scoffed.

"This proves that you can try all you want, but you're still a mortal, you worthless boy," Juno said, glaring at me.

I rolled my eyes. "Let's just check the next aisle."

The next aisle was much of the same, but the cards were a different vibe.

Pearl Necklace: Must have Perseus' cum on your tits and neck. For each consecutive hour you are bare, you lose 10 Drachma. For each day, you lose 1 Charis. (200 Drachma)

Lay Down The Law: Must be "smashed" by Perseus' "gavel" once a day, or lose 3 Charis. (300 Drachma)

Paddle: Everytime you disobey Perseus, you have to get smacked by a wooden paddle on your bare asscheeks 100 times. (100 Drachma)

"Perseus, if any of the Contestants aren't being good, just have another Contestant buy one of these Punishment Transformations!" Lachesis said. "It's perfect because they can no longer gain Charis or Drachma when they're fulfilling the terms of the Punishment Transformation!"

I just ignored Lachesis.

"Well, this aisle is definitely... A trip," Clarisse said. "The next aisle is Items, right?"

As soon as we looked at the shelves of Aisle 4, I think all of us were in shock.

The aisle had every sort of bodily item, and then some. Chastity belts, piercings of all kinds, heels, bracelets, anklets, necklaces, collars, butt plugs, and that's just what I could see at first glance.

"Oh, you're on Aisle 4!" Lachesis exclaimed. "I know just the thing to show you."

Lachesis grabbed two round patches the size of her palm and showed them to me.

"What are these?" I asked.

"These are for your mom," Lachesis said. "If she comes to buy it. They cost 40 Drachma, and what they do is that they constantly milk tits, sending the milk to a bottle of her choice, with the added effect of making her tits extremely sensitive."

I looked at Lachesis deadpan. No way this woman wants me to talk to my mom about her tits.

"I'll talk to Aunt Sally about it," Annabeth said to me, placing a hand on my shoulder.

I nodded in thanks. "Yeah, let's just go to the last aisle."

The last aisle just seemed like a humongous clothes store of its own, somehow seeming both small and large at the same time.

"I know the Clothes Aisle feels so complicated, matter of fact, every aisle does!" Lachesis said. "That's why I'm here, to help you find what you want to purchase. To help you gals out, let's look at some new clothes for Annabeth and Sadie! After all, we did change the clothes you're wearing to be tail-friendly, but the rest of your clothes in your rooms are just not."

Lachesis showed Annabeth and Sadie what looked like a wardrobe door.

"Here, this is the Wardrobe Fixer," Lachesis said. "200 Drachma, and you get to fix all your clothes to match with your current Transformations."

Lachesis walked down the aisle. "Every type of clothing, every size, we have it here! Just ask me, and I'll fetch it for you."

"I thank thee, Lady Lachesis," Zoë said. "I shall return here should I require purchases."

"No problem, Zoë," Lachesis smiled. "I know you're all broke, so come back when you have money!"

"We will," Annabeth said as we left the store. As soon as we exited, she sighed deeply. "Well, that was an experience."

"Yeah," Rachel agreed. "Let's just head for dinner, hopefully Aunt Sally is done by now."

Five minutes later, we were all seated at the dinner table, about to eat.

Suddenly, the Fates teleported into the room.

"We said that we shall announce the Date schedule," Atropos said. "Here it is."

Dates:

Day 2: Zoë Nightshade

Day 3: Lucia Castellan

Day 4: Sally Jackson

Day 6: Clarisse LaRue

Day 7: Juno

Day 8: Annabeth Chase

Day 10: Amphitrite

Day 11: Sadie Kane

Day 12: Rachel Elizabeth Dare

Without another word, the Fates flashed away.

"Well, that was rude," Sadie said.

"Yeah," I said. "I know all of us are having thoughts that are both good and bad, about this place. I think, for tonight, let's just remember that we're all a family, especially now. Let's keep it calm, and talk about the Island when we've had enough time to think about it."

"That's the best idea, dear," Mom said, squeezing my hand in support. "So, Sadie, it seems that in another world I was your grandmother. How about you tell me stories about me?"

Sadie beamed and started telling Mom some story. Meanwhile, the rest of the table slowly calmed down and started eating and hanging out.

"You ok?" Annabeth asked me quietly.

"Yeah," I said softly. "If anything, I'm kind of... Happy? This reminds me of when we were on Argo II. We thought we were doomed, sure, but we were still family."
