Week 1 Fan Mail: Mallory

Mallory lifted a gift box that was heavier than expected, opening it to find a set of golden chains.

Dear Mallory, congratulations on gaining a girlfriend in addition to your Mistress. I hope the three of you are very happy together. You were a delight to have in my little game. You looked so fetching in your bed I'd love to mount you on my wall. Alas, dear Sera would never let me have you, and that would hardly be fair to Lady Aife. Instead, I gift to you your outfit from the game and a set of enchanted chained anklets I am sure you will enjoy, Shar.

Mallory also found a little note explaining that the anklets in question “improve one’s sense of balance and rhythm; the perfect gift for a harem dancer.”

“Thank you, Shar.” Mallory nervously fiddled with the chains. “I think I’ll have to find a moment to try these out in private. I don’t know that I’m ready to wear something like this in front of everyone else.” She stowed them away before moving on.

To Mallory,
Hello there, um I hope this letter isn’t a bother. We are on the same show and apparently saddled with similar 'exhibitionist' style transformations. The only difference is you seem really pretty and I'm...well one of my transformation paths is 'Piggy' and that should tell you all you need to know.
Really I'm envious of your ability to feel good in your skin, you seem to be adapting so well and really happy. I just feel...so much shame and that the little attention I get is just because he is too nice to leave me behind.
Challenges are really hard too, and I really hope for someone like you it goes by painlessly.
Wishing you well,
Maddy Purcell

“Aww, thank you, Maddy!” Mallory smiled and held the note to her chest. “I’m sorry that you’ve been made to feel that way. I’m not sure what I can really say to help. If you don’t mind unprompted advice, then I’d say that building a little bit of muscle might help. It sounds counter-intuitive because of what society tells women they should look like, but you might actually benefit from that more than just trying to burn fat. Having a solid foundation can help things look a bit tighter, and then you can focus on finding clothes that highlight the parts of your figure you want people to look at, though that’s more Nat’s area of expertise than mine. Remember that the most attractive thing a girl can be is confident!” She really hoped that that was good advice. She really wasn’t an expert in any of those subjects, and her advice was almost entirely anecdote.

Hi Mallory,
Scarlet encouraged me to read your season, and I’m so glad she did. I love it, and not just because I’m jealous of your Mistress and the transformation she got at the start. I’m also so damn jealous of you, girl. You kissed a freaking supermodel! You’re in a throuple!
What’s that like, by the way? The throuple bit, not the kissing bit. Hopefully I’ll find out what both are like soon. The Master on my season already has a wife, and she’s really pretty, and she’s my roommate, and she thinks I’m really pretty too, so fingers crossed...
Reading your season also made me realise just how much of what we do the audience gets to see, and I don’t really know what to think about that. I’m already so scared that the others here are going to find out what I’m really like, but the audience probably already knows?! And they’re going to see whatever I do in the future?!!! It’s so embarrassing, and then being embarrassed starts to have that effect on me, and then I realise they probably know that, and it all just goes around and around. I might actually just melt. Or explode. Or cum. One of those things.
Anyway, best of luck with your new relationship!

P.S. I was given this neko ear headband, and since I have real ones now I think it must be for you. It’s supposed to help with mischief, so have fun!

[Neko Ear Headband
A pair of black cat ears on a simple headband. When worn, the ears seem to turn to listen to nearby noises. Its magic can be used once to allow the user to shift their form into that of another for one hour, though they will still have cat ears in the new form.]

“Stop! You’re making me get all giddy just thinking about it!” Mallory put her hands to her cheeks as she struggled not to grin like an idiot. “Though I don’t really need to be reminded that I’m always being watched. That’s super embarrassing. I still don’t really know what being in a throuple is like—I’ve been in one for less than a day, after all, but I’m looking forward to finding out. Thanks for the headband, by the way—I’ll have to brainstorm the best way to use it.”

Dear Mallory,
How lucky you are getting such a nice transformation from a tie. You've been making great use of it already. Clever taking the mistress for a swim so you get to ogle her bikini clad form. Very glad that the show is working out for you and that you have started coming to terms with your fetishes. Why I bet by the end of the show you'll be wearing stuff like the outfit Sera put you in for your transformation all the time.
A fan,
Sally
P. S. Congratulations on your relationship within the harem. That Natalie is a real beauty and lovely lady so congrats on snagging her

“Oh, God.” Mallory fidgeted nervously. “I don’t know about that. I’m surprised I didn’t pass out back when that happened. I felt like my heart was going to burst out of my chest. Oh—and thank you! I’m still not sure how I ended up with someone as amazing as her. And Aífe, too!” She frantically added. “Aífe’s also great! God, I should really just stop talking before I say something stupid…” She focused on reading so she could stop talking for a few moments.

Dear Mallory,
As a fellow lover of being encased in skintight clothing, all I have to say is: own it. Diona is right; being kinky here is an advantage, as long as your Mistress is into it. From what I’ve seen, your Mistress is very much into your kinks. For your next date, might I suggest trying to get Aífe to wear a matching outfit? If you need an excuse, you could always say it would make you more comfortable not to be the only one wearing revealing clothes. I hope you find your place in Aífe’s harem, much like I’ve found my own in Mark’s.
Sincerely,
Ellen Thompson
Willing Slave Girl in Training

“Mmm, I don’t know… even if she is into that sort of thing, isn’t it still way too soon? We’ve only been on one date, and when would I possibly bring it up. Not to mention if anyone saw us like that…” She hoped that the remainder of her mail was from people who were… a little bit less like herself if she was being honest. She was worried that their suggestions were starting to sound really convincing, and she didn’t need her girlfriends thinking she’s a deranged pervert.

Greetings.
I might want to warn you, or more accurately to remind you this show exists. So we… get to see how you tick. All of you. Including the parts that hint that this may not be as great of a downside for you.
I'd say don't let anything leave you ashamed of it. Audience are schmucks who will be gone by the time this has ended. Fellow Contestants writing? Well if this is your thing, revenge viewing or writing. I open my trap, I accept consequences.
Far more importantly, no one who truly matters, aka people in the harem you are, will judge you for that. Or will by the end of it as they do grow. Not naming people. Mainly because I think you’re all good people who will get there in time eventually. So allow yourself to be yourself in all things. Heck, pretty sure the ‘metagaming’ crowd would agree with the ‘strat’. And be ready to offer hands if hypothetical troubles do eat their crow.
Also, congratulations for how things are developing with Natalie. Beyond being a sucker for polyamory inside the harems, it is nice to see people get something like this even in this place.
Don't let go, don't be afraid to be second fiddle for either of them… and don't be afraid to stand up for yourself if someone else flares up about this. Natalie is someone worth fighting for, like Aife. An- okay, scratching this, even from a position where we do get to see it. Besides mentioning again, don't be worried about letting your preferences show.
Keep going,
Isabelle ‘Hardric’ Richards.

“I get everyone’s encouragement about my, uh… preferences, but there’s still such a thing as too early.” Mallory managed to calm herself down enough to continue forming coherent responses. “It’s just a bit daunting, you know? Aífe has so many beautiful women vying for her affection, and all of them are women she cares about deeply. Even Cecilia, I think. And sure, I’ve also got Natalie now, so I don’t have to worry about getting too lonely, but… I don’t know. It’s just hard to come to terms with certain parts of yourself that you can’t show in public—parts that feel a bit shameful to indulge in.”

The last piece of mail remaining was… attention-grabbing, to say the least. Sealed in a bright pink envelope covered in glitter, it seemed to have been sprayed in some kind of perfume that… Mallory didn’t have any way to describe it except that it smelled like something Diona might wear, if the girl didn’t always constantly smell of cherries now. The letter itself was a bit difficult to read—the handwriting prioritizing cuteness over legibility.

To: Mal <3’ 
Hi!!! So, I don't want to come off strong, but my name is Jess and I’m, like, your biggest fan!!! Like, I know this might come off weird cute (long story girl; if we ever meet up (which hopefully we will with my gift) I’ll tell you ;3) but we are literally twins! Well, minus the body; I’m a blonde, have bigger tits, and have a set of cute fox ears and a tail. Oh, and unlike you where you are a switch I think, I’m a total submissive bottom; like, ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you hehehe <3’ But, like, I’m super jealous of your TF and we are both super horny and slutty yet also super shy!!! Like, we embody the pleading face emoji!!! Anyway, I’d love to write more, but a certain Fox (me :3) is silly and waited until the final night to write mail; plus me and Mistress are getting ready for something special soon. But, inside is a coupon for the HH Store! It won’t, like, let you buy absolutely anything and it will only work if I’m there (it’s not a real coupon we offer; I’ll just buy whatever you want for you so it will be free for you ;3), but still! We have lots of stuff you’d be interested in; trust me! Anyway, I got to go now, bye and I hope to see you soon!!! Oh, and ask Sera about the HH Store; she should be able to get you here so you can actually, you know, use the coupon <3’ You might have to wait a bit though; not sure how she feels about y'all traveling outside of the seasons set yet…

At the bottom of the letter was a pink scrap of paper with “1 Free Purchase!!!” hastily scribbled on next to a chibi drawing of a blonde fox girl.

“Um… thank you?” Mallory was confused both by the content of the letter itself and its intensity. Sera?” Mallory got the Host’s attention. “Is this from an employee I haven’t met yet? She mentioned a store, but I thought the only stores we had were the boutique and the TF shop.”

“Hmm? Let me see.” Sera examined the letter and the coupon. “Ah, yes—this is from that cat’s pet fox. The store she’s talking about isn’t from this season, but rather a store available to the whole of Harem Hotel. We don’t do much business with them here because we’re mostly self-sufficient, but I can discuss the matter with the production staff if you wanted to have their online store installed on the mirrors.”

“Maybe later.” Mallory took back the coupon and letter, still slightly confused about the whole cat and fox bit. “I don’t even know what I’d buy. Oh—thank you for the coupon, Jess! I’ll think about how I want to use it.”
