Warnings and Kickoffs

Sophia Maoulin

Having just left her conversation with Levi, Sophia climbed the castle stairs. As she approached the dining hall, she glanced at the scoreboard and saw that she had four fewer VPs than when she last checked.

"That's weird, when did I lose..."

Suddenly, Sophia's feet froze mid-step. In an instant, she lost balance and tumbled forward. With catlike reflexes, she stretched out her arms just in time, using her hands to break the fall and prevent her face from smashing into the cold stone floor.

Invisible shackles grabbed her ankles and pulled her across the floor, causing her skirt and shirt to ride up from the friction. Before she had a chance to call for help, she was dragged into an open closet, the door slamming shut behind her.

Inside the dimly lit, cramped room, Sophia was abruptly thrust upright, her back hitting the wall with a jarring thud. She glanced up to find Azure standing before her, a fierce and deranged look burning in her eyes. With an explosive movement, Azure slammed her palm against the wall, mere inches from Sophia's face, causing the thin wooden boards to creak under the sudden ****.

"Who the FUCK do you think you are!?" the host screamed, red aura exploding from her.

"I... uh... what?" was all that Sophia could manage.

"You think you own Levi just because you popped his cherry?! You narcissistic brat!"

"What are you talking about?" Sophia asked in terrified bewilderment. "Of course I don't think that!"

"LIAR!" Azure shouted in an explosion of sound. "You think I didn't see what you said to him? Telling him that he needed to apologize for rightfully disciplining his property?"

"I didn't..."

"How DARE you ruin it for him! That was HIS moment! He was finally getting a taste of the **** he was owed. And then you have the fucking GALL to order him about what to do with his things!"

"I never ordered Master to do anything!

SMACK!

Azure backhanded Sophia across the face, sending her glasses to the ground. As the impact spread across her frame, she felt her very essence move with it.

Her literal soul, shimmering with vibrant energy, was violently launched from her body. Her entire being existed as a small ball of light. The soul had no idea how to process what had happened, hovering in place as it "saw" her own body collapse.

Sophia then silently screamed as Azure grabbed the pulsating aura in her grasp. "You have no idea how much restraint I've been showing all of you! But if you deliberately sabotage my season again, I'll show you what I'm truly capable of."

If Sophia could talk, she would swear she wouldn't, but she could do nothing but simply exist in Azure's palm.

Azure squeezed her hand tighter. "You're too popular for me to eliminate for no reason. But if you piss me off again, there are ways I can make sure you get last place in the next challenge. No one would know. And if that happens, no amount of VP will protect you from becoming a walking hentai. As in EVERY... SINGLE... TAG!"

Azure slammed Sophia's soul to the ground, landing on top of her body. With a shocked gasp for air, Sophia awoke at Azure's feet.

"Now, you're going to go out there, find Levi, and tell him that you'll love him no matter what he does to the others. And you're never, EVER, going to mention this conversation happened!"

"I... I won't! I promise!" Sophia trembled.

"Ms. Maoulin? Are you okay?"

Sophia opened her eyes to find she was standing in front of the dining hall. Looking behind her, she saw Ms. Wolf. "Huh, what?"

"You were staring off into space, dear," Nora explained.

"Oh... uh... yeah. Just... morning things... you know," Sophia stammered, heart still racing.

Ms. Wolf nodded in understanding before walking into the dining hall. Sophia cautiously followed her.

Lauren Peterson

The goth had waited until the last possible moment to leave her room. Her hair was a mess, she had skipped brushing her teeth or makeup, and she hadn't bothered to wear anything more elaborate then a shirt and pants, which her TF gothified to show off her back. She was way too exhausted inside to care.

The mysterious voice from the previous night still echoed in her mind. Part of her was convinced that it had only been a dream, just one of the many nightmares she experienced last night. A second part of her wanted nothing to do with it, even if it was real, viewing it as just another of Azure's schemes.

And yet... it had promised to save Katelyn. Could it be what she had been praying for?

"Hey, Lauren! I'm glad to see you," a panting voice greeted.

Lauren looked to see Tomoko, chest enormous and threatening to spill out of her strained tube-top. The woman was breathing heavily, both from the enormous tension in her boobs, along with how tightly they were confined. Still, she tried her best to smile under the strain.

Lauren gave her a brief look before walking past her without any acknowledgment.

Tomoko followed, trying to get her attention. "We were all really worried about ya. We just wanted to make sure you were okay."

Again, Lauren gave no acknowledgment, continuing to walk as the dining hall entrance came into view.

Tomoko sprinted in front of the girl, tits violently shaking with each step. "I look pretty ridiculous, right? Feel free to make fun of me. Or call me an idiot or a whore. There are so many things about me you can pick apart and..."

Lauren slammed the dining hall door into Tomoko's face, or rather, against her breasts, which caught the impact like an air cushion and bounced her onto her back.

"I'm just trying to help," Tomoko whispered.

Sophia Maoulin

As Sophia entered the hall behind Nora, she saw that Elena, Olivia, Levi, and Ji-woo were already there. However, the latter had separated herself from the others, sitting as far away as possible. Without much thought, Sophia approached the princess.

"Hey Sophia, how are you doing?" Elena asked as the catgirl sat beside her.

"Uh, yeah, sure," Sophia replied, distracted. She was staring at Levi, who was filling his plate from the buffet on the other side of the hall. Azure's warning replayed vividly in her mind, and what she had ordered her to do.

Elena noticed where she was looking and smiled. 'She's probably thinking about what she and Levi did last night. I shouldn't pry unless she's ready to discuss it.'

Both girls were startled from their thoughts by a loud bang as Lauren slammed the door, the sound reverberating through the hall. She immediately went to the buffet and piled as much food as possible onto her plate, no longer concerned about her diet. Ignoring Levi's attempt to speak to her, she poured maple syrup haphazardly over her bacon.

Moments later, Tomoko entered. Those in attendance made a double take at the globes attached to her.

"My god, what happened to her?" Elena asked.

"Lactation," Sophia said automatically. "Remember the transformation she got?"

"Oh... uh... right..." Elena replied slowly, growing increasingly hypnotized by Tomoko's dancing rack.

"Are you okay?" The feline asked, gently shaking the princess's arm.

Elena snapped out of her trance. "What? Oh, uh, yeah! Sorry about that."

"It's Tomoko, isn't it?" Sophia inquired, eager to talk about anything to get her mind off her encounter with Azure.

Elena nodded. "Yeah, it's so strange that we can't see her the same since she got the bi-spell. You know what I mean?"

Sophia turned back to Tomoko. "I haven't noticed any change when I look at her."

"Wait, are you..."

But whatever Elena was about to ask was cut off by blaring music as the now familiar stage appeared at the front of the hall.

Azure

As Azure appeared on the stage and looked out to the others, she did her best to project her showgirl smile, a more demanding feat than usual due to her lack of enthusiasm. She overcompensated by skipping about the stage and beaming even harder, though her eyes were utterly bored.

She was by herself, Alison not attending the kickoff.

"OMG, can you believe it! We made it to day four of Harem Hotel! I'm totes excited, ya'll!"

Azure blew a kiss to everyone before dropping her act altogether with a sigh. "Let's just get through this then, shall we?"

She gestured to the screen, which displayed two items in a bulleted list. "Let me remind everyone that the new rules are now in effect."

• Expectation of Progress: At midnight every day, the contestants current VP will be compared to what it was at the start of the day. If the current total fell more than 15, then the contestant is eliminated.
• Boon of the Survivor: At the end of the season, if four or more contestants have been eliminated, the winner can use their wish to restore the free will of one of them (though this does not remove compulsions). Furthermore, all active contestants will get 20 VP once the fourth contestant has been eliminated.

"Because some of you have the memory of goldfish, we're updating the scoreboard to help you track it.”

A newly devised scoreboard was displayed, now containing a new column that split the contestant's current score with a reminder of how they started the day. Headshots of each contestant were now displayed beside their name, notably showing them before their transformations, as if to remind them of the toll the show had taken.

"Speaking of new things, we now have a new morning ritual thanks to Elena Mendez. Specifically regarding her fairy companion."

The description of the transformations was displayed as a reminder.

• Hey Listen!: Elena will receive a small, sexy fairy companion whose sole duty is to give advice. The advice can range from providing obvious prior information to helpful hints about the future. Elena will occasionally be compelled to follow the advice, though she may resist this with enough willpower. The audience may sometimes have the opportunity to influence the fairy's priorities. Also, while the fairy will be visible, particular focus must be given to it, or it will fade from people's attention. [Gamer, Minor]

"The fairy's personality consists of various sliders that represents where it is between two extremes," Azure explained in a monotone, viewing the explanation as a chore. "Each slider is ranked -2 to +2, with negative leaning towards the first option and positive towards the second. Here are the current categories and how they are ranked.

• Stupidity vs Intelligence: -1
• Prudishness vs Perversion: 0
• Indifference vs Obsession: 0
• Hate for Elena vs Love for Elena: +1

Azure gave everyone a moment to read before continuing. "Regardless of what is picked, balance will be maintained," Azure explained. "Thus, the vote will move one slider up and another down."

She sighed, wishing she hadn't introduced this tedious new mechanic. "Also, each day, we will add a new slider to the fairy that can be tweaked in the future. You at home will vote on which should be added, along with its starting value, which can be between -1 and +1. Here are the options for new categories.

• Loyalty to Elena vs Loyalty to the Show
• Good vs Evil
• Lawful vs Chaotic
• Silly vs Serious

"Whatever is chosen will be applied tonight when the fairy shows up. Make sure to vote here," she announced, as a link was displayed on the screen.

Elena bit her cheek, feeling concerned. Nym was already annoying enough. She didn’t want to imagine how much worse the show could make her.

Azure massaged the back of her neck, glad to have overcome that bureaucracy. "Next up, I want to announce a special activity tomorrow. We will be having a mini-challenge."

Olivia slammed her hands on the table, hurting them in the process, and rose to her feet. "Bullshit! You said it wasn't until day eight!"

Azure groaned. "That was for the main challenge! This is a mini one, without any points or risk of elimination."

"If there's no points, why would we give a shit?" Olivia scoffed. "Nothing is at stake.

Azure massaged her temples, not having the energy for her stupidity. "There are stakes. You see, mini-challenge will determine how your transformations will be modified."

This captured people's attention. Olivia sat back down and crossed her arms, looking skeptical.

"Rather than the usual seven person challenge, you will be divided into groups of two for a one-on-one game. The winner gets an upgrade to one of their TFs, as voted by the audience. The loser gets a downgrade."

Sophia stroked her chin. "Interesting. What exactly do you mean by an upgrade?"

"DON'T ASK STUPID QUESTIONS, YOU VERMIN!" Azure roared. Sophia immediately covered her mouth with her hands and sunk into her chair, much to the other's concern. Ji-Woo, in particular, couldn't help but find Azure's reaction odd. Usually, she had been happy to answer Sophia's game questions. What had changed?

Azure took a deep breath to regain her composure. "Downgrade means a negative modification to your TF, while upgrade means positive. Obviously."

"Positive for who?" Olivia asked, raising an eyebrow. Azure ignored her.

"Wait, you said groups of two, but there's seven of us?" Tomoko pointed out, resting her heavy bosom on the table to give her back a break. "That's an odd number."

Azure clapped condescendingly. "Oh wow, I didn't realize you could do math. Well done," she laughed. “The master will be taking the eighth slot."

"Me?" Levi asked in surprise.

"Yes, your boons are TFs, after all. And to be fair, I won't even penalize your opponent if they beat you."

Olivia was staring at Levi now, her mind working through the implications.

Azure sighed again, though this time in relief at getting through the monotony. "Now then, for the thing we've all been waiting for. It's time to give out our daily rewards. First off, everyone gets three BP at the start of the day. But of course, you really want to know who won the big three. We'll go slightly out of order and start with Most Humiliated."

A shudder swept through the crowd, but Mrs. Wolf stood oblivious, unaware of the storm that was about to unfold.

"Unfortunately, except for our newest addition, Nora Wolf, all six of you had the same moment of humiliation. Specifically, during the challenge."

A montage of each contestant assaulted under Levi's phantom phallus was displayed on the screen. Cheery music played over the display, giving the impression that it had been good-natured hijinks. Azure preemptively silenced their yells of outrage. Nora, in particular, couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Frankly, I don't understand why you were so embarrassed," Azure observed, a hint of a genuine smirk forming. "Unless you were disgraced by how short you lasted." At this, a clip of Elena's loss by orgasm played on a loop, making the real princess cover her reddening face in mortification.

Azure waved her hand, stopping the video. "In any case, because you all shared the same moment and felt relatively equal levels of shame, I'm ruling that none of you get the Humiliation Prize this time. Plus, we prefer the embarrassment to be self-inflicted anyway. In the future, try to be more creative at debasing yourselves."

Olivia threw her plate at Azure. Unfortunately, her toss lacked the strength to reach the stage and shattered onto the floor. Azure barely acknowledged it. Meanwhile, Nora continued to stare, appalled.

Azure raised her middle and index fingers. "On to award number two: The one who most pleasured the master. If you saw my announcement last night, I don't think I need to tell you who won."

Sophia closed her eyes, blushing, as she felt all eyes fall onto her. However, she opened them again when she heard the sounds of her own squeals. To her shock and slight arousal, footage of her being fucked by Levi was displayed proudly on the screen. The split screen video showed her from four different, objectifying angles. Like before, Levi's dick was censored, but she wasn't, proudly displaying her naked body for everyone to see, along with her moaning face.

Levi, Elena, Olivia, Nora, and Tomoko tried to shout at Azure to stop and leave Sophia alone, but they were still silenced. They all compromised by simply looking away to grant her privacy. However, their necks craned against their will back to the screen as their eyelids were **** open.

Azure was legitimately smiling now. "This makes Sophia the first one to fuck her master, curing him of his virginity. Furthermore, she also gave up her own V-card, having bravely saved herself for him."

The host's eyes flared with mischievous intent. "As a reward for her deeds, she is the first of you to be marked by her wonderous master. Sophia, darling, why don't you show them what they have to look forward to."

Sophia yelped silently as her body jumped to its feet. She stepped onto her chair to climb up onto the table. Then, with a single fluid motion, she slid down her skirt and panties.

Her nethers bare to the world, she turned her pelvis to face the nearest person she could, Elena. The princess could only look straight ahead, her line of sight perfectly level with Sophia's crotch, giving her a direct view of her tattoo and coochee.

After giving Elena a thorough look, Sophia continued her march, going to each table to present herself. Azure deliberately prolonged the performance, making the catgirl sway her hips for her spectators. The girls face was beet red from humiliation, but also, the masochistic part of herself couldn't deny how hot this was, and she prayed people would be too distracted by the tattoo to notice how moist she was getting.

The spell was finally broken after Sophia finished with Lauren, the only one among her onlookers who did not silently express their sympathies. Yelping as she felt both her voice and control return, she covered her crotch and ran back to her table, grabbing her discarded panties and skirt upon her arrival.

"You bitch! How dare you treat Sophia that way!" Elena boomed, followed by an outpour of angry agreement from the others. Lauren angrily crossed her arms, enraged by the support Sophia was getting.

'So you show that bitch pity?! None of you acted this way when Katelyn or myself were **** to perform for you! Why the FUCK does everyone love her so much?!'

Sophia, getting her clothes back on, sat back down. Elena gently placed a hand on her shoulder, offering a supportive pat.

"With that out of the way, let's go to the third award," Azure said, smile fading. "This goes to the hardest worker. Unfortunately, most of you just laid around brooding after your challenge like a bunch of babies. Only Elena and Sophia bothered to actually engage with Levi. Furthermore, not only was Sophia able to get Levi out of his virgin shell, but more impressively, she managed to teach him how to play Yu-Gi-Oh."

Azure paused, expecting a laugh. But the only people who understood what she was talking about were Levi and Sophia, neither of whom felt like laughing, which annoyed Azure greatly. "However, I'm giving the award to Elena who acted as Levi's wingman and got him ready for his date. In a way, a big part of the fucking was thanks to her."

The scoreboard updated to reflect both Sophia and Elena's reward of ten BP each, along with the three that everyone received.

Azure cleared her throat as each contestant received their small reward. "The only thing left to take care of is Levi's date tonight. However, none of you signed up for day four. Thus, we will randomly pick among those of you who haven't had one with him. We will exclude Ji-Woo, as she signed up for night five."

Ji-Woo looked away, expecting Levi to scowl at her. However, he remained still, unsure of how to react.

A wheel appeared on the screen, separated into three sections: Olivia Booker, Nora Wolf, and Tomoko Nakaya.

Azure tried her best to fake her enthusiasm. "Let's see who the lucky girl is."

The colorful wheel spun rapidly, its colors blurring together as it whirled on its digital axis. Progressively, it grew slower before finally landing on its target.

"Congratulations, Tomoko Nakaya!" Azure announced.

Authors Note

I will be going on a vacation to Japan shortly after posting this, and be out for most of January. Thus, expect new chapters in February.

Also, special thanks to Dissonant Soundtrack for the new scoreboard. Checkout his Harem hotel branch.

Finally, it's been brought to my attention that some of the images in the earlier chapters are no longer there. Those were from back when I used Imgur, as opposed to imgbox. If I get the time before I go, I will try to update them.
