Things are not the way that they used to be

1st: Morgana – 108 VP

2nd: Kim – 107 VP

3rd: Rose – 102 VP

3rd: Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin – 102 VP

5th: Dani – 96 VP

6th: Dawn – 90 VP

7th: Carly – 87 VP

8th: Gina – 84 VP

9th: Vivian – 82 VP

10th: Amelia – 80 VP

11th: Cinder/Ella – 75 VP

12th: Sylvia – 68 VP

“I’m in first!?” Morgana’s eyes opened wide with surprise and she nearly fell out of her chair. “Oh my gosh!”

“Hey, not bad, Morgana!” Vivian applauded her. She wasn’t doing so great herself, but she was making steady progress, and that wasn’t the worst thing in the world. Especially considering she had yet to engage with Nick in that many sexual acts.

“I can’t believe I’m so close,” Dani murmured, shaking her head in shock. 96 VP. If she could just keep going for a little longer, then she’d cross the 100 VP threshold and not have to worry about some big negative transformation ruining her at the end of the season.

“That’s right, there are some congratulations in order,” Mr. S said with a nod. “Two more ladies in the harem have crossed the 100 VP threshold now! Let’s give a round of applause to Morgana and Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin, who have both passed that marker with flying colors.”

For once, his applause sounded genuine, and not like the mocking words of a man delighting in the misery of others.

Nick still wasn’t convinced.

Meanwhile, Rose was sulking. She’d gone into this challenge with first place being in her grasp by a mere Victory Point, after working so hard to get up past the 100 VP threshold. And while she hadn’t lost anything even though she’d come in last place, she’d fallen down to tie for third with Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin.

It stung. She thought that she’d been making progress with the audience, but between the last Popularity Poll and how much she’d been screwed over in the maze, it seemed that their opinion of her had lowered. Severely.

She would have to make up for that.

“Now then, with all that in mind, let’s get our end-of-round upkeep out of the way before we move onto the most fun part- the transformation votes,” Mr. S decided, temporarily banishing the screen with a wave of his hand.

Dawn perked up when she heard that. “Does that mean these transformations will go away now?” She asked, gesturing to her changed appearance. Now that she was back in full control of her faculties, being able to smell the arousal of the other girls was starting to get grating.

Mr. S glanced at her. “…No, I think it’s more amusing if we leave you like that for the rest of the day,” he said with a smirk, earning a look of irritation from Dawn. But she didn’t dare talk back to him, given the circumstances.

The producer turned his attention to Vivian, who sat up in her chair.

“To start, I think we should tally up your earnings for the round, Ms. Carrington,” he declared, clasping his hands together. “Shall we have a quick reminder of how your transformation works?”

He called back the screen, which displayed the relevant transformation for everyone to read.

• Investment Banking: Vivian knows full well the value of diversifying your assets. Now she will be able to invest BP into the breast size of other contestants. The breast size of any contestant will increase in size proportional to the amount of BP Vivian chooses to invest over the course of the round. At the end of the round, all breasts affected this way will return to their normal size, and Vivian will receive her initial investment back, with interest proportional to the amount of time the master touched that contestant’s breasts. (Heiress)

Vivian squirmed in her seat slightly.

“This round, you invested 500 BP into Dawn, 1000 BP into Rose, and 1200 BP into Kim,” Mr. S pointed out. “So we will start by reimbursing you for your initial investment.”

With a snap of his fingers, three girls let out gasps. Kim, Rose, and Dawn all looked down to see their breasts shrink substantially as Vivian’s investment was collected. Dawn in particular was saddened to see her breasts return to their original petite proportions.

And as a result of that loss, Vivian received an infusion of BP.

Vivian: 2500 BP + 2700 BP = 5200 BP

Vivian let out a sigh of relief. It felt a lot better being at a safer level. But she was still curious just how much she stood to make on interest.

“As your transformation explained, the interest you receive is proportional to the amount of time Nick here spent… assessing your portfolio,” Mr. S said with a wry smirk, giving Nick a look that made him feel embarrassed, which was surprising given how much he’d already been through today alone.

Vivian’s eyes shot over to Nick and their gazes met for a brief moment, but she quickly tore her head away.

“Out of everyone you invested in, Dawn spent the most time getting her breasts fondled by our master,” Mr. S recounted, recalling the several instances of sexual contact Dawn had initiated with Nick. “We’ve decided that this amount of contact accounts for approximately 400 BP of interest.”

Dawn’s ears twitched in surprise and she nodded. That made sense.

Vivian: 5200 BP + 400 BP = 5600 BP

“Next up is Kim. Nick, you certainly got your fill out of her, you and several other people,” Mr. S said with a grin.

Dani blushed.

“On that note, given your multiple dalliances with her as well, though not focused as much on her chest, you’ll be receiving a small proportional reward of 500 BP.”

Vivian nodded. That made sense. A bigger number than Dawn had given her, but not even accounting for half of her original investment.

Vivian: 5600 BP + 500 BP = 6100 BP

“And finally, Rose, who got a moderate amount of play, though not nearly as much as she could have enjoyed, I’m afraid,” Mr. S said with a sigh.

Rose scowled at him. She was already in a bad mood, she didn’t need it compounded.

“In acknowledgment of her efforts, and Nick’s attraction to her breasts, we’ll be giving you 200 BP to finish,” Mr. S declared, granting Vivian one final cash infusion.

Vivian: 6100 BP + 200 BP = 6300 BP

Immediately Vivian’s brain got started calculating. In total, she’d made 1100 BP in dividends on her investments. Not a huge amount. This transformation clearly didn’t have very big payoffs, but the benefit wasn’t nothing.

I suppose I should invest more into more girls, she considered. Or figure out who Nick will likely spend the most time playing with the breasts of. Dawn seems like a safe investment for that, but I’ll have to watch for what transformations the other girls get.

As well as her own.

“While we’re on the subject of Rose, I suppose we might as well not waste any time, and get right to trimming her hair, then?” Mr. S considered. “I know we normally save that for after the transformation votes, but no sense in putting it off!”

Rose scowled again. She didn’t even bother with an objection, she was too tired.

“…Then again, perhaps you’ve earned a reprieve, considering how much you’ve been through,” Mr. S reconsidered. “I’m sure the audience is dying to get to the transformation votes anyway.”

“Hey, that’s good!” Gina said, trying to be encouraging.

Rose nodded, relaxing a little. While Nick was glad for her, he didn’t miss what the producer was doing. He was trying to earn the good will of the others and make himself out to be a nicer guy than he really was.

Dakota had employed that trick in the past. So this was where she got it from.

If Mr. S hadn’t made enough of an impression on Nick with his behavior already, the way Sylvia tensed around him spoke volumes. She was very uncomfortable, and it wasn’t because she kept glancing at Lynette, who was propped up against the producer’s chair like some bizarre trophy.

“Now then, this would be the point in the process where I would congratulate the victor on their win and grant them immunity from transformation, but unfortunately, there was no winner,” Mr. S said, shaking his head. “Per Dakota’s rules, we had a tie for second place. So with that in mind, all of our contestants here will be getting transformations today!”

“Oh! But… that’s not fair,” Mary grumbled.

“Come on, Mary, it’s how the rules work,” Holly coaxed her friend.

“How sweet,” Mr. S said sarcastically. “But maybe this is a good thing for you, Mary. After all- you’re the one who will be getting immunity this round.”

Mary blinked. She clearly hadn’t expected that. “…Huh!? M-me?” She pointed at herself, still not processing. “But… …Why? I wasn’t even part of the maze…”

“Call it… fair compensation,” Mr. S said with a wry smirk. “For being such a diligent wife and staying by your husband’s side while he was going through such an intense challenge.”

The mocking tone in Mr. S’s voice didn’t go unnoticed by Nick. Mary sank into her seat, looking down in shame. While Nick wasn’t sure if she was feeling guilty or not, she did seem… almost disappointed?

“…Anyway, if you REALLY want a transformation, we can discuss that later,” Mr. S crooned. “I’m always happy to oblige when a victorious contestant wishes to make themselves more appealing for their master.”

Mary turned scarlet when she heard that and her eyes bulged out of her head.

“…But for now, we have to focus on the show itself,” Mr. S declared. “So to start, we’ll go with our lovely little tomboy, who had QUITE the excellent showing in the maze the whole way through, working so well with others… Dani, let’s see what transformation the audience will have for you!”

Dani swallowed, nervous to see what the audience would vote for.

Dani:

• Roughing It: A tomboy is always a fan of the great outdoors. Now, Dani will find the idea of having sex outside in the wilderness to be an intriguing and exciting concept. Whether it’s being intimate in a tent, or in the dusky cover of a cave, the more exposed to nature she is while having sex, the more pleasurable it will feel. (Tomboy)
• Baby-Doll Eyes: While Dani is more than capable of taking care of herself, like anyone she also enjoys being pampered. When asking for a favor, she can now bat her puppy dog eyes, and whoever she is speaking to will have the urge to dote on her and be sweet to her, even more than normal, like someone feeling affection for their favorite pet or their crush. (Girly Girl)
• Down Bad: As a siren, it is in Dani’s nature to be sexually arousing. Her feathers will now have a stimulating quality to them, and anybody who gets tickled by her feathers will find themselves getting more aroused the longer they remain in contact. [NOTE: This applies to feathers that are plucked as well.] (Siren)

https://strawpoll.com/7rnzVXXEEnO

Dani let out the breath she was holding. She’d been apprehensive, dreading what kinds of twisted transformations the producer might cook up, but these seemed almost… normal?

Judging by the way several of the other girls relaxed, she wasn’t the only one who’d been anticipating the worst.

Mr. S, sensing her concerns, clarified his position. “Normally, I would be more… creative. But seeing as how I’m only filling in for your lovely host, it would be unbecoming to put too much of my… personal flavor on this season.”

Nick shivered. He didn’t like the sound of that.

“So are there any you might prefer?” The producer asked.

Dani glanced at the list again. “…The first one isn’t bad,” she admitted. “And the third one… that might be inconvenient, but…” Her eyes flickered over to Carly. Being able to arouse her with her feathers might actually be helpful.

“I see,” Mr. S nodded. “And you, Nick?”

“If it’s what Dani wants, I’m fine with it,” Nick replied sharply. He had no intention of shaping Dani’s transformations to suit his own preferences, given their relationship, and the producers should have been well aware of that by now.

Mr. S smirked. “…I see. Then in that case, we’ll move on to our other second place finisher, Ella! Who will be receiving only a single transformation for the first time, lucky her!”

Ella swallowed, sitting up in her seat nervously.

Cinder/Ella:

• Tip the Staff: At the end of each cleaning shift, Cinder or Ella may choose to ask the master for a gratuity to show his appreciation for their hard work. If the master is so amenable, he may choose to give them an amount of BP proportional to the quality of the work they did. In return, they will receive a spike of pleasure and may find themselves going “above and beyond” in their duties the next time they are in the Master’s Suite. (Maid)
• A Princess’s Modesty: A princess must always remain chaste and modest. With that said, on Harem Hotel these are difficult goals to aspire towards. Whenever either alter finds themselves embarrassed by a sexual occurrence and feel they’ve behaved immodestly, they will receive a spike of arousal that may compel them to repeat the behavior again. [NOTE: If repeated too often they may no longer find themselves embarrassed, so this may have diminishing returns. Use sparingly! (Or don’t.)] (Faerie Tale)
• Red Button, Blue Button: Once each round, Cinder, Ella, and another contestant chosen at random will get to choose to push a red button or a blue button. If at least two of the three choose to push the blue button, then nothing will happen. If at least two of the three choose to push the red button, then anyone who pushed the blue button will find themselves driven into a mad sexual lust the next time they are alone with the master. [NOTE: Neither Cinder nor Ella will be aware of the third button pusher’s identity.] (Switch)

https://strawpoll.com/Q0Zp7XXxAgM

Ella’s face turned scarlet when she saw the choices laid out before her. Her eyes bulged and she hastily glanced over at Nick, who was likewise surprised.

“These are all-!” Where were her easy ones!? These were all so… so dirty!

…Well, that much should have been obvious.

Mr. S chuckled when he saw her reaction. “Well, it would appear that asking our dear little maid which choice she would prefer might be a bit premature. Wouldn’t want to spoil anything for her.”

Ella sucked in a breath of air and huffed.

“Now, as for our master, then…?” Mr. S turned to Nick, expecting he knew what Nick would choose.

“…The first one, where I get to tip her,” Nick said. “…And not in that way.” He knew Dakota would gleefully point out the innuendo if she was here, and he would rather the producer not do the same thing.

Mr. S just smirked gleefully. “…As you wish,” he conceded. “Moving on, Sylvia, you’re up next! What will you end up being given, I wonder?”

Sylvia squirmed in her seat, feeling excited again and no longer worried by the presence of the producer. Better to focus on the positives, right? Transformations were a great distraction.

Sylvia:

• Fudging It: With a touch, Sylvia will be able to slightly adjust how much another contestant is affected by their transformation. She can make certain transformations more or less intense for her fellow contestants by touching them with her hands. These changes last until she stops touching them, then the effects will linger proportionately to how long she spent in contact with them. [NOTE: This does not go to the extent of upgrading a transformation, the existing effects will simply be more or less intense. Only applies to certain transformations.] (Former Host)
• Spoiled Rotten: Once each round, Sylvia can ask her Daddy for a present for being such a great daughter. Depending on how “good” of a daughter she actually has been, Nick may go out and get her a present he feels that she has earned. [NOTE: This will be a physical gift, and not something intangible like a favor, sexual or otherwise.] (Daughter)
• The Nose Knows: Sylvia’s sense of smell will be enhanced to the point where she will be able to sniff out changes in other people’s hormone levels and thus be able to discern their moods, whether they’re aroused, angry, tired, sad, ovulating, or any other physical states that are impacted by a person’s hormones. (Empathy)

https://strawpoll.com/eJnvVXXjMnv

“Ooh!” Sylvia giggled, sitting up in excitement. Lynette was completely forgotten about. “I can change how intense a transformation is? And Daddy can buy me presents!?”

“How does that one work?” Dawn asked, her brain immediately curious.

“I thought it was self-explanatory,” Mr. S replied, raising his eyebrow. “If Sylvia is a good girl, then Nick will buy her a present-”

“No, not that one,” Dawn scoffed, rolling her eyes. “Obviously not that one. I mean the one where she can change the intensity of the transformations.”

“I’m curious about that one too,” Kim agreed.

“Well, it’s definitely one of the more technical ones,” Mr. S conceded. “Take your temporary transformations for example, Dawn. Right now, you can tell how aroused all the other girls are from your nose, right? Well, if Sylvia wanted to, she could make you smell them even more. Or lessen your sense of smell, depending on what she wanted.”

“And it works for all their transformations?” Dani asked. “Or only one at a time.”

“Only ones of her choosing,” Mr. S said. “But let’s not put all our eggs in that basket, shall we? There are other exciting transformations to choose from. That one may have more restrictions than it appears.”

Kim nodded. After all, you couldn’t exactly amplify how intense “Working in a lingerie store” was. Sylvia might want something more tangible than that.

Nick agreed. He trusted Sylvia, but he also knew she wasn’t always the best at controlling her impulses, and might make a lot of mistakes. “I like the one where I can give her presents,” he said neutrally.

Mr. S shrugged. “As you wish. Moving on! Shall we see what Carly has to offer?”

Carly perked up when she heard that it was her turn and nodded.

“Yeah! I can’t wait!” She grinned, her eyes sparkling. “Show me what you got!”

Mr. S smiled. “I love your enthusiasm! Very well…” He waved his hand and Carly’s options appeared.

Carly:

• Free Sample: Part of being adventurous means trying out new things that you’ve never thought of before. With this transformation, any time Carly touches someone, she will temporarily acquire one of that person’s fetishes! Whether it’s footplay, BDSM, maid costumes, Carly will acquire a taste for it! Only one fetish can be acquired at a time, and if the current fetish is not indulged, it will fade after a couple of hours like nothing ever happened! (Adventurous)
• Digging Up Old Comments: Nothing goes away on the internet. Like any e-celeb, Carly has to be very careful about stuff she’s said and done before, especially if she doesn’t want her daughter to find out! …With that being said, she still has quite a bit of pride in her past sexual exploits. If anyone reminds her of a past sexual experience or something sexual that she said, she will now get very flustered, and embarrassed- but also very turned on, and compelled to “clear her name” by demonstrating what she really meant when she did or said those things, usually in a repeat performance. (Content Creator)
• Background Character Spectacles: After the last challenge we found out Carly looks good in glasses. Well, now she’ll get a permanent pair! But these are a little different. Instead of seeing through walls, these glasses will allow her to go undetected! So long as she’s wearing them, other people will be able to perceive her presence, but will not notice if she is doing anything sexual, even if she’s having sex right in front of them! [NOTE: The effects of these glasses extend to anyone who is touching her while she is wearing them. Not only will they share in the effect, but they will also be unaffected by it themselves and be able to see exactly what Carly is doing.] (Exhibitionist)

https://strawpoll.com/NoZrzXXYDZ3

Carly whistled, eyes going wide when she saw the options presented. “Wow! Some of those are a lot of fun! Especially those first two! And that last one, those glasses could be great!”

“You can’t be serious,” her sister said in exasperation. “You really want to be turned on when you’re reminded about all your old sexual experiences?”

Carly looked at her in surprise. “You don’t?”

She covered her mouth with her hand and smirked. “Oh yeah… because you’ve only been with Nick a few times, you wallflower you.”

“Hey!” Marley turned scarlet. “Shut it!”

Dawn raised her hand. “I have a clarifying question.”

“Oh?” Mr. S looked at her, curious. “Yes?”

“The first transformation mentioned Carly touching someone, but since she has a roommate, doesn’t that mean it’s likely she’ll copy one of that person’s fetishes first thing every morning? Isn’t that kind of limiting, then?”

Kim nodded. “Yeah, that’s a good point, or one of Marley’s fetishes, since she’ll be there too.”

Carly waved her hand. “Oh, don’t worry about that. Marley doesn’t have any fetishes, she would need to actually want sex for that.”

“Why you-!” After being cooped up in that maze for hours walking around in the world’s most uncomfortable dress, even Marley was at her limit. She grabbed her sister’s ears and pulled, making Carly whine.

“Come on, sis! I give, sorry! Sheesh! Fine, you have plenty of fetishes! You’re a regular degenerate, happy now?!”

Marley let her sister go. “Good, that’s better. …Wait a minute! CARLY!”

Carly crouched in the sand and doubled over with laughter as her sister fumed.

Mr. S cleared his throat. “Well, to answer your question, ladies, no, that’s not how it works. Carly must be awake for the transformation to trigger, and of sound mind. An inadvertent brush in her sleep won’t do anything. But an accidental bump in the hall would. Make sense?”

Dawn nodded. “Right.” She glanced over at Carly, who was still taunting her sister and not listening to a word he’d just said. “…If it comes down to it, we’ll let her know.”

Kim rolled her eyes and Gina snickered.

“And Nick, what about you?” Mr. S turned to him. “Which would you prefer?”

“I… I think Carly would have a lot of fun with either the first one or the last one,” he confessed. “I’d say if I had to choose… the first one is probably better for my sanity.”

He didn’t need to spend the rest of his life wondering if Carly was playing with herself right in front of him and he just didn’t notice. That sounded like something she would do.

Mr. S smiled. “Very well then! Moving on, let’s go to Gina! She missed out on a transformation last round- hopefully we can give her one to make up for it!”

Gina:

• Another Round: Why end a party early? Whenever Gina’s stamina is starting to flag, she can recover it through an orgasm. After cumming, it will be as though Gina has just taken a nice, refreshing nap, and can continue to party to her heart’s content! As long as she can keep the party going, her stamina will be virtually limitless! [NOTE: This does not remove the body’s natural urge to sleep, it will just let her push through it. When she inevitably does rest, the impact of all the fatigue she put off will hit her at once, use judiciously like any stimulant.] (Party Animal)
• Surrender Your Body: The most total act of submission that a submissive can give their partner is to surrender even control over their own body. With this transformation, the master will have complete control over Gina’s body. If he wants her to be turned on, then she will become sexually aroused. If he wants her to feel nervous and shy, then her heart will start pounding. Even her reproductive functions can be controlled at will. [NOTE: Of course, the master can temporarily relinquish his claim over any or all controls over her body, in which case they will return to their normal function until further notice.] (Submissive)
• Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery: Gina wants to become a better person, in multiple meanings of the word. There are lots of things that she admires about her fellow contestants, and in an effort to get in their good graces and receive praise and Nick’s attention just like they do, she will strive to emulate the qualities of her fellow contestants she finds most admirable in an effort to be the best Gina she can be. (Good Girl)

https://strawpoll.com/kjn1DOOeJyQ

“Well now, I think those should suffice,” Mr. S said with a smile.

Gina was stunned. She gulped, and went a little pale. “W-wow,” she mumbled, sinking into her seat. “That second one… I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s hot and all, but…”

“Yeah, that’s a little much…” Morgana agreed.

“That’s almost at the level of an exit transformation,” Sylvia said, surprised.

“All of these are pretty intense,” Gina mumbled. “I like the idea of the third one, but… it could really get out of hand. The first one… that one’s probably the best, as long as I can control myself…”

Amelia and Dawn both looked at her. Gina looked away.

So yeah, there weren’t many “good” options here. Or if you looked at it another way…

“I chose to give you transformations that require a lot of growth and self-control on your part,” Mr. S said calmly. “It’s time for you to make some changes and mature, wouldn’t you agree?”

Gina gulped, realizing what he was saying, and nodded. “Yeah…” she conceded. “Maybe…”

She looked over at Nick and wondered what he would want. Nick himself kept quiet, not wanting to influence her for that very reason.

“With that in mind, shall we move onto our current points leader, then?” Mr. S said, turning to Morgana. “I have some rather fun ones for you, my dear.”

“O-oh, really?” Morgana jumped up in her seat slightly, eyes wide.

Morgana:

• Overcast: Morgana is a sunny girl at heart, but goths have an affinity for the grim and bleak. Now wherever she goes, a cloud will follow overhead, casting her surroundings in shadow and keeping that nasty sunlight away. As an added bonus, if she gets too emotional, the cloud may overflow, soaking her clothes through and giving her something to really complain about! (Goth)
• Am I What You Always Wanted?: It’s hard for any woman to be a man’s perfect fantasy. Even with a transformation. But it’s very easy to become what you believe to be a man’s perfect fantasy! Morgana will be able to temporarily transform her body and mind to become someone right out of her fantasies! But she has a very active imagination… [NOTE: The results will be as tumultuous as Morgana’s esteem. The more intricate and complex the fantasy, the shorter it lasts.] (Fantasy)
• Just Trying to Help: Sweet Morgana will now feel compelled to lend any contestant a helping hand on their night with the master! Whether that’s assisting them in the bedroom or working to ensure that their date goes smoothly, Morgana will always be the staunch supporter of whoever has the master’s ear that evening! (Ingénue)

https://strawpoll.com/05ZdzMMkEn6

Morgana let out a squeaky gasp, her eyes bulging out of her skull. “These are all-! There’s so many-! I don’t-!”

Some of them were so overwhelming she didn’t even know where to begin. “I-I like the second one… the idea behind it,” she babbled, “but the transformation itself, isn’t… isn’t it… a little much!?”

The issues that she’d discussed so strongly with Nick before… this seemed like it was contradicting them. He said he wanted to get to know HER better, and that’s what she wanted too… to become some fantasy of his… wasn’t that going to make everything harder?

“Morgana,” Dawn said, leaning over to comfort her friend. “Have faith in yourself, alright?”

Morgana swallowed and nodded. “Yes, you’re… you’re right,” she agreed. “Thank you.”

Mr. S nodded. “Well, alright then. If you’re satisfied, I suppose we don’t need the master’s input on this one. Moving forward, Vivian, now it’s your turn.”

“That’s right,” Vivian said, sitting up. “Show me what you’ve got!”

Morgana noticed that she still wasn’t looking at Nick.

Vivian:

• Private Villa: Vivian will get special privileges once each round to spend an evening at a private villa with any one other person. She could choose to use it on her night with the master to spend time with him there, or to invite another contestant for a sleepover of fun, just the two of them. There will be all sorts of fun games and treats to enjoy for the two of them! (Heiress)
• Checklist: It’s important for the manager of a harem to ensure that all the needs of its members are being met. Each round, Vivian will receive a checklist with individual tasks designed to aid other members of the harem, and will feel compelled to complete the tasks listed out to help her fellow harem sisters. (Harem Manager)
• In Master’s Fashion: While Vivian might be into fashion, that doesn’t mean she’s always dressed in ways that the master would approve of. Now that will change! Every morning Vivian will be compelled to bring her clothes for the day up to the Master’s Suite and get the master’s approval of her outfit, should he be there. If he approves, then she may wear it, and will feel pleasure as a result. If not, then she must either find a new outfit to change into, or go with nothing at all. (Fashionista)

https://strawpoll.com/GeZAR55rbyV

Vivian’s eyes widened as she read the final transformation. “What!?” She screeched, shooting a look over at Nick before turning back to the screen to make sure she read that properly. “You mean… I have to get approval for my clothes… from him!?”

“Well, I mean, I would just approve of them regardless,” Nick pointed out, but Vivian wasn’t exactly in a “listening” mood.

“And the checklist one, I-I can manage that, but the third one… can I just have the villa? Please?” She begged. Then she read it again. “Wait, I can only take one person!? But… but that’s not fair, I want to share it with ALL my friends! And-and I have more than one of those, right?!”

Mr. S cleared his throat. “Well, while she’s coming apart at the seams, shall we move on? Dawn? You’re up next, I believe?”

Dawn glowered at him. “Guess so,” she said, feeling a little bad for Vivian as the heiress tried to mix freaking out with keeping her cool. She looked up at the screen to see what transformations had been chosen for her.

Dawn:

• Acing the Dismount: While Dawn is very flexible and capable of many sexual positions, that doesn’t mean she’s experienced with them. But that will change now! Using her acute mind, Dawn will be able to perfectly and flawlessly recreate any sexual position just by looking at it once, and execute it to great pleasurable effect! (Gymnast)
• Herding Cats: Dawn will now have an increased sense of when people are disagreeing, and will be able to help them get along better, both with each other and with her. With headpats, everyone will be happy and get along, and shower her with affection in return! [NOTE: The length of the effect is proportional to the intensity of the fight.] (Animal Lover)
• Showing Off: It isn’t enough to just be better at sex than the other girls (which she isn’t) she has to prove it, too. Whenever Dawn is having great sex with the master, she will be compelled to let everyone in earshot know it, losing all filter and being as loud as possible, and loving every minute of it. (Competitive)

https://strawpoll.com/XOgOVzzW3n3

Dawn blushed. Some of these were a little… “…The first one is the easiest one,” she mumbled. “The other two…”

The second one was… complicated… and the third…

“…That last one is just obscene!” Her face was red, but her twitching ears and flicking tail suggested that maybe she was a little more into the idea than she let on.

Mr. S turned to Nick. “Well? What do you think?” He prodded.

As much as Nick would like for everyone to get along better, he agreed with Dawn that the first one was probably the best one. “I like the Gymnast one,” he answered, leaving it at that.

Holly giggled. “Yeah, I’ll bet!” Earning her a look from Mary.

“Well, that works just fine then,” Mr. S agreed. “Now, moving on, we’ll see what Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin will be getting. Listen up young lady, I’ll only be explaining this once.”

Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin sat up, listening intently as Mr. S described the three transformations on the screen so she could understand them.

Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin:

• Luscious Locks: Like any good bimbo, Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin’s hair will always be perfect, long, shiny, and glossy, no matter what happens to it! As an added bonus, she’ll receive a full set of hair dye so she can always dye it the color she wants it to be, although like any bimbo dye job, it will be rather obvious. (Bimbo)
• Vibe Coding: Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin’s body will receive a slight upgrade to its nanomachine production, allowing for more flexibility in her transformations. Now, not only will she be able to change her body by focusing on it and expending some nanomachines, but her body will naturally change in tiny ways to reflect her mood, such as making her taller when she feels confident, bigger breasts when she wants to show off, whiter teeth when she wants to smile, all sorts of fun little upgrades, but these small changes will be uncontrollable. Not to worry though, if anything gets out of hand, one good orgasm will snap her back to her factory settings. (Body Modification)
• The Daily Grind: Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin will receive a new fascination with her ass, along with enjoying the feeling of rubbing it against other people, particularly giving lap dances. Grinding up against someone will result in a massive burst of pleasure to the point where she can even cum from it. (Dancer)

Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin grinned as she listened to the descriptions, much to the producer’s delight.

“Well, it seems you like them, which is good. Now, I’d ask you which is your favorite, but seeing as you can’t talk, there wouldn’t be much point of that, I’m afraid,” he said, earning him a glare from the assassin.

Mr. S ignored her and turned to Nick. “Besides, it’s really your master’s opinion that matters, isn’t it? Nick? What do you think would be good for her?”

Nick looked at the mute assassin and wondered what she wanted. But of course, she couldn’t let him know. “I… I really don’t know,” he said honestly, realizing he really didn’t know enough about her to make decisions like. It was a realization that stung.

Mr. S nodded. “I see. Well… at any rate, we’ll move on then, and see what Kim will be getting today. Kim?”

Kim gulped. Her brain told her this would be fine, but she was still nervous…

Kim:

• The Customer is Always Right: While on the job, Kim will do whatever it takes to make her customers happy! This may come down to fawning over them, fetching them drinks, giving shoulder massages, or just being generally pleasant and eager at all times, in the hope that her customers will have a good experience. (Service Industry)
• Morning Routine: It can be really hard to get out of bed in the morning. Kim will find herself feeling tired, listless, and unfocused all day, until she gets her morning dosage of orgasm. One orgasm in the morning and she’s ready to go, as good as a cup of coffee! (Slacker)
• Cram Session: In order to ensure that her night with the master goes off without a hitch, Kim will feel compelled the night before to study up on sexual activities and other sexual topics in the hopes of doing her best for him. She’ll take copious notes, which she will be allowed to bring with her into the bedroom! (Student)

Kim was right to be worried. “What’s that second one!?” She sputtered in disbelief. “I have to orgasm every day or I’m going to be listless and unfocused!? Are you kidding me!?”

“Try having ADHD,” Mr. S quipped back at her.

“Absolutely not!” Kim snapped. “Definitely not that one!”

Mr. S chuckled. “Well, judging by your tone, I’m going to guess you won’t be much of a fan of The Customer is Always Right either, now will you?”

Kim glared at him.

Ignoring her, the producer turned to Nick. “Well?” He asked curiously. “Nick, what do you think? Which would you prefer?”

Nick looked at Kim and saw the stern expression on her face. “The third one,” he said without hesitation.

“Ah, you want Kim to study up a little before your next night together?” Mr. S mused. “What a shame. Was she not satisfying enough for you last time?”

“Stop provoking him!” Kim snapped. Sylvia had to admit, it was really cool of her, standing up to the producer like that.

“…Very well,” Mr. S conceded, leaning back in his seat. “I’ve had my fun anyhow. Now then… Amelia, I believe it’s your turn. Time to see what our lovely stepmother has to show us.”

Amelia’s eye twitched as the screen shifted again.

Amelia:

• Mature Influence: Amelia’s mature, seductive atmosphere will stir something in the hearts of her fellow contestants. Those who naturally admire her charming qualities as a stepmother will feel a tug to be more matronly and take the initiative with the master, to the point of even being a little dominating. Those who don’t admire her will begin to behave a little more bratty. (MILF)
• Frozen in Time: Amelia will gain the ability to pause time for a period of no more than ten minutes each day. During this time freeze, only Amelia and anyone touching her upon initiating it will be able to move and interact with the world. Anyone else will not be able to perceive any difference, but once time restarts, they will feel any contact made with them all at once for maximum erotic potential. (Ice Queen)
• Home Visit: On a random evening, Amelia will make a surprise inspection of the Master’s Suite, to see how things are going between the master and whichever contestant is spending the night with him. She will observe them having intercourse and provide feedback, and will not leave until the act has been completed to her satisfaction. (Teacher)

Amelia’s eye twitched. Mr. S opened his mouth to speak, but she interrupted him.

“If you expect me to comment on any of these,” she said coldly, adjusting her glasses, “then you are sorely mistaken.”

Mr. S didn’t really know how to respond to that. He stared at her for a few seconds then looked over at Nick, who just shrugged, not sure what to say.

“…Well, alright then,” the producer said, shrugging. “Let’s finish this off with our lovely Rose, then, and see what she has!”

Rose’s heart began to pound. She’d been **** to endure so much already… surely, at least, she could get a good transformation out of this?

Rose:

• Youko Ono: There’s nothing more seductive than a demonic fox. As atonement for her sins against foxkind, Rose will receive the curse of the demon fox, and become a youko with fox ears, a fox tail, and spiritual powers of seduction and mild transformation. (Seductress)
• The Feeling of Giving: The quickest way to a girl like Rose’s heart is with expensive gifts! If someone gives her a present, then she’ll feel compelled to repay the favor and fawn all over that person, becoming their best friend. The more expensive the gift, the stronger the feeling of gratitude Rose will feel for that person. (Gold Digger)
• The Best Kind of Actress: On a show like Harem Hotel, the most successful kind of actress is the pornographic kind. Now, every time Rose has sex, she will enjoy pretending like she is shooting a porno. That means exaggerated dialogue, over-the-top moaning, excessive sexual acts, and most importantly, endless stamina until the “shoot” is over. (Actress)

Rose’s jaw dropped. “What!? That… that fox girl-! Are you saying I’m gonna-?!”

“Not if the audience doesn’t vote for it,” Mr. S chirped. “Frankly, I’d just love to see you getting all fawny and dewy between the legs whenever you get a gift. But it’s not up to me. Nick? What do you think? What would you like for your dear little Rose?”

Rose looked to Nick desperately and opened her mouth, only to pause. She honestly… wasn’t sure what she was going to say. Their eyes met, and Nick wasn’t sure he knew either.

“…The gift one,” he said finally. “Rose has been through a lot… she deserves to be a little spoiled.”

“Aw… Nick…” Rose was touched by his answer. And it was a lot better than the porn actress one.

Mr. S laughed. “Well… we’ll see what the audience has to say,” he said, clapping his hands together. “For now, let’s enjoy a nice break, and let the votes roll in!”
