Meet Your Roommates

Alexis wasn't going to take this lying down. At least, that's what she told herself. With her new-found muscles, she tried to break away from the attendants leading her down the hallway, but they calmed grabbed her arms and dragged her the rest of the way. Her muscles might have been bigger, but immortals are often stronger than they look. Molly did not interfere, afraid of what they might do to her. They arrived at the second guest room, and Molly quickly opened the door before the ones in ancient garb could do anything else.

The two walked in, and Molly let out a sigh of relief while Alexis huffed. She was not a fan of the interior design, or for that matter, anything she had seen since being brought to this strange place. The two turned to each other, unsure what to say at this point. Molly suddenly realized she was looking down at Alexis, which was not the case the few times they had met before as friends of siblings.

"Excuse me," Molly blurted out and hurried to the bathroom, hastily closing the door behind her. She took off her apron and stripped out of her clothes, anxious to see her new body in all its glory. She gasped at what she saw. Even though she felt herself up over her clothes, seeing her new proportions laid bare was a totally different experience. Her boobs were huge, and her stomach was perfectly smooth and defined. Molly couldn't believe she looked like this now, and it was hard to wrap her head around such a drastic change.

When she heard Molly gasp, Alexis rushed to the bathroom and yanked open the unlocked door. "Oh shit!" She quickly closed the door again and turned around, while Molly failed to cover up her naked body in time. This is not how either thought their first minute as roommates would go.

+1 VP for Alexis! Saw a harem member's naked body!

Alexis was startled by the big notification floating right in front of her for a couple of seconds before disappearing. She had no interest in any part of this game, but that was an easy one point to earn.

Once Molly was dressed again, she came back into the room, and Alexis vociferously apologized. "I swear that was an accident. When I heard you gasp, I thought you were in trouble or there was something shocking in the bathroom."

"Oh, there was something shocking, all right," Molly joked in embarrassment. An uneasy feeling settled over both of them. Or rather, what they had already been feeling was more present in their minds. "I can't believe we're in this position. We look so different."

Alexis's face hardened. "They're gonna pay for what they did, and what it seems they plan on doing. And Hector will regret bringing us here in the first place."

Molly had to object to that notion. "Hey, wait a minute! Hector isn't responsible for this. It seems like he was brought here just like the rest of us."

"As if! You saw him ogling us and that ridiculous boner! You're his literal dream girl for fuck's sake! How can you say it's not his fault?!"

Molly's face reddened in anger and embarrassment. "I'm well aware of that, thank you very much. But Hector's my best friend, he wouldn't do something like this on purpose. You've known him for years, at the very least how could he transform someone?!"

Alexis was outright shouting at this point. She wasn't willing to entertain the idea that Hector was not responsible. "He knows a lot about Greek stuff, and apparently the gods are real, so he could've prayed and asked for a harem. Don't be so naive just 'cause he's your friend! He's just another perverted dude!"

The impromptu argument was getting somewhere, but neither side was any closer to winning. Molly decided to go in a new direction. "Well...maybe he's not the only perverted one here. We just happen to know that now because Amelia made him the center of attention. I bet we all have hidden fantasies, including you."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Then tell me yours," Alexis dared. She tilted her head up and walked right up to Molly, their chins inches apart.

"Wouldn't you like to know. We've spoken, what, three times before? It's not like we're on a secret-desire basis."

"We'll see about that, roomie." Alexis made the title sound like an insult. "It seems like we got plenty of time together."

Veronica wasn't feeling much better than her children's friends, but at least her room was quieter. Walking in, she plopped right onto the bed, overwhelmed by her paradigm-shifting day. She wasn't even aware if she picked the side of the bed assigned to her. Kristie decided to give her some space and look through the drawers. Seeing her own stuff, she thought this would be a good time to take a shower, considering she was in the middle of practice when she was ripped from her life.

Kristie wasn't exactly happy about her new circumstances, but she was quite satisfied with the shower. There was more than enough space for multiple people, and the water immediately switched to the perfect temperature. The shampoo and soap both smelled of honeysuckle, and they were smoother than any hygiene products she had ever used. The white towel covered her whole body and felt like a warm hug. Feeling refreshed, she walked out of the bathroom in a baggy shirt and lounge pants to see Veronica leaning against her pillow, looking a little more composed.

The older woman looked over at her new roommate. "Sorry for that, I didn't mean to ignore you. I just really needed some time to think."

Kristie smiled lightly and gingerly sat on the bed in the same position, red hair lying in damp strands around her. "That's alright, it's perfectly understandable. You're in a tougher spot than the rest of us."

"No, no, this is bad for all of us. No one should be trapped here or forced into a harem. Regardless of how comfy this bed is," Veronica muttered.

"I don't want to be forced either, but at least it's a roundabout way of putting me with someone I already kinda like. Amelia is probably speeding up the process, if anything. You and your daughter are the stuck ones, so I feel for you."

Veronica's protectiveness as a mother kicked in. She rose an eyebrow while turning her head towards Kristie. "So you really have a crush on my son?"

Kristie realized bringing up this topic might not have been the best strategy right after meeting Hector's mom. "I mean, yeah I guess. He's pretty cool to talk to."

Veronica applied a little more pressure. "You guess or you know?"

"I-I don't know. It's not like Hector and I know each other that well. We speak a bit in class and met up once to study in the library, but I can't honestly say I'm ready to make a move on him or anything."

Veronica backed off. She could see Kristie meant what she said, and Veronica didn't want there to be animosity between her and her new roommate. "Hey, that's all right, you don't need to figure it out right away. I was also a hormonal college kid once."

Kristie opened a new can of worms before realizing that wasn't the smartest move, either. "Speaking of hormones, have you noticed any effects of your transformation?"

Veronica opened her mouth, not believing Kristie had the gall to ask that. "Are you serious right now? We just met and you're asking if I'm ready to jump someone's bones?"

"No, I didn't mean it like that! Just, do you think something's changed, like do the mental transformations even take effect right away. I can't tell if mine worked, for example."

Veronica huffed but calmed down somewhat. "I'm not sure, I have had plenty on my mind besides...that." As she spoke, Veronica's face gained a sheen of sweat and a thought popped up that hadn't occurred to her in a long time. It would be so nice to have a child again. "Maybe the transformation is working, maybe not, but you need to think more before you speak."

While Kristie pondered that advice, there was a sudden knock on the door.

After the attendants left Carla and Penelope alone at the last room, Carla enthusiastically turned the doorknob. When the two entered, Carla gave Penelope a big hug. "Oh, I am so glad we are roommates, darling! We are going to have a ball together."

Penelope was caught by surprise, but she slowly returned the hug. She could now sense that Carla was genuinely happy, and it was nice to have some physical affection. The new ability left a lingering headache, but it wasn't so bad with only one other person around. "I hope that is the case, at least when we get some time alone here."

Carla quirked an eyebrow in interest. "Ooh, eager for some alone time with little old me? It would be splendid to show you a trick or two in bed."

Penelope blushed and backed away a couple steps. "That's not what I meant. I mean, you are gorgeous, but I just meant that we can relax and hang out away from this whole messed up competition."

Carla understood her new roommate perfectly, but she couldn't help teasing such a pretty girl standing right in front of her. Carla thought of something especially naughty to say, and her new flirty nature couldn't possibly pass up the opportunity. "Right...we will 'relax' and 'hang out' by making sweet, sweet love. I could even use my new tool."

Penelope hesitantly glanced over and saw a shiny, veiny strap on lying in plain site on one of the bedside tables. She immediately slapped her hands over her eyes, but just like during the rules explanation, her deep desire and curiosity led her to peek through her fingers. The thing was long, and for better or worse, longer than she expected. Penelope could sense that Carla was in a playful mood, but at least part of that was lustful, as well.

Carla figured out that she had Penelope cornered already, but not quite for the reason she thought. "It appears I am not the only lady here interested in the fairer sex. Have you ever lain with one before?"

Penelope was relieved to have the unintended distraction, redirecting her thoughts away from her brother's dick. "Uh...no, but I am bisexual. Now that you bring it up, I wonder if that's why Amelia paired us together." Penelope connected a few more dots at the same time. Her mental catalogue pointed her to love being expansive and how that would apply in a harem. The members aren't just there to service their master. Everyone benefits if the women develop romantic relationships in addition to feeling love for their master. She realized the opportunity literally standing right in front of her, but Penelope was not prepared to act on that after just a few minutes.

"Well, if you are ready for a new adventure, I'll be happily waiting right here." Carla then leaned over and gave Penelope a light kiss on the cheek before rummaging through her dresser but purposely leaving the strap on out in the open. Penelope with too much on her mind, went to her own table and looked through the BP list, now considering how the options could help the whole group. If that is even what she wanted from this terrible situation.

A knock on the door then interrupted the quiet, and Carla eagerly opened it. A woman in the same pink dress as Amelia walked straight to Penelope. "The master has requested your presence. You are to follow me at once."
