As the cameras broke for commercial, an irritated Lucian rounded on his assistant, jabbing a finger into her inflated chest, “That transformation lasts 24 hours! You couldn’t leave well enough alone?”

Reyna twisted her foot against the ground bashfully, “I thought it would be a lighthearted transition from the challenge to the transformations. Plus, you can always dilate time, Lucy! I’ll go back to normal just like that!” The redhead snapped her fingers.

The demon glowered at her, “No, you chose this, you can be stuck as vapid eye candy for a bit.” He looked towards Mira, who, like the other contestants, was just watching their exchange from where the challenge ended, “As for you, I hate to suspend a Sabotage, but we need to highlight the transformations…which also means the clothes need to go.” With an irritated snap, everyone was consumed by the flames from earlier, returning their clothes from prior to the challenge as well as removing Mira’s ropes.

Caleb stood up and pointed toward Noemi, “What about her? She is still passed out.”

The demon rolled his eyes, “Do I need to do everything myself? Slap her a few times.” Seeing Caleb staring at him defiantly, Lucian clicked his tongue and turned to the Master, “Get her up, I don’t care how.” He turned to the rest of the group, “We have five minutes, get on Stage and line up.”

“You control the perspective of time, what does an extra minute or two matter?” Amy shot back out of curiosity as much as defiance.

Drumming his fingers on the top of his slapstick irritably, Lucian scowled at the Oni, “We’re still a production with time tables to keep, satisfied? Get. In. Line.”

People began to shuffle, Caleb moving over to Noemi and lightly shaking her until her eyes opened, “Oh…hey Caleb, is it over? Did I win?”

Frowning slightly, Caleb reached to her back and helped the Chilean up, “About that…you were actually first out. It’s time for transformations now.”

“Oh,” The disappointment and irritation were palpable in Noemi’s voice as she turned to take Caleb’s hand, “I’ll do better next time, Caleb, don’t think less of me, ok?”

Caleb shot her a sideways smile, “Noemi, I really don’t care, let’s just try to get through this, ok?” He got her to her feet, and the two walked together to the stage and lined up.

The air in the room was still heavy from the challenge and the looming perspective of transformations around the corner was only increasing the tension in the air. Even Eliza, who was safe, still felt overwhelmed by what had occurred in the challenge. If the intent had been to drive a wedge between everyone and make them doubt themselves, Lucian certainly had succeeded at that.

Caleb looked down the line at all the dour expressions and stepped forward, “You know what, I got something to say. I know you may think you’ve proven your point that humans are awful and will always betray each other. But I just see people up here doing their best, **** into horrible circumstances. Maybe people mess up, but it doesn’t change the fact that even after the first round, everyone managed to vote Trust in the second. We’re all feeling it, sure, but if you really had any confidence in what you said, maybe you’d design a challenge not weighted to push people against each other.”

Lucian bared his teeth and turned towards Caleb, fire rising up his arms from his elbows when he was jolted back by Reyna calling out from the side, “We’re live in 10, Lucy!”

Gritting his teeth and snuffing his flames, Lucian **** a smile on his face and twirled his slapstick, “And we’re back! Hope everyone enjoyed that commercial break from our sponsors, but now it’s time for the portion of the festivities that really sets Harem Hotel apart: Transformations! Now our lovely Eliza may be immune this week, but she’s not out of it yet, because, of course, after transformations, we have our popularity poll, and for the first time this competition, our MVP poll. We’ll speak more to that later, but let us not delay seeing our options any further!”

From the sidelines, the enhanced Reyna was blowing a long noisemaker as Lucian drifted over in front of Caleb, “Now on Castello, we firmly believe in letting our Master in on the fun so lets take a look at this week's transformation options.”

Fitness? More Like Fittin' These Tacos In My Mouth!: Caleb's metabolism has been ramped up to the point where he never has to worry about his diet again. On the downside, he now requires way more food. Or, he could get a full day's worth of calories just by eating pussy. (Fitness)

Getting Into Character: Caleb's voice acting talent makes him a natural at roleplay. With effort and concentration, he can confidently take on the appropriate sexy persona suited for the task at hand. (The Voice)

Pot Luck: To help the master find new interests he will gain a new fetish each week. At the end of the week, he must make a choice; If he keeps it, he may choose the next week's fetish to try. If he rejects it, the next is random. (Branching Out)

Caleb’s eyes widened, seeing the options in front of him. Lucian jabbed the end of his slapstick in front of Caleb’s face like a microphone, “So tell me, Caleb, of these options, which would you prefer to have, and remember how much we value honesty here.” The demon’s eyes gleamed dangerously, and the Master remembered how he had been **** to talk against his will in the past.

Clenching his fists, Caleb gave the options one last look before answering, “Getting into Character sounds best, if I’m going to be head of a household for so many people, it would be nice to be able to fit whatever role was needed at the time.”

“Well, what a decidedly mundane way to look at things, but what else have we come to expect from our Master?” The demon ignored the look of disdain aimed at him from Caleb as he began to glide over to Lily, who was next in line.

“Our resident Flower girl, outside of a daring play early in the week, you have settled towards the middle of the pack. Now we noticed a trend as an audience that, despite your resident stick plunged firmly up you anus, you don’t like to practice what you preach.”

Lily’s face screwed up as she turned to the host violently, “That’s not fair! I’m doing my best!”

“Oh, don’t misunderstand my dear, we here at Harem Hotel love some double-dealing, and I think you’ll find it easy to embrace with this latest round of transformations.”

Subathon: Whenever someone else gains VP, Lily will become more submissive towards them for a number of hours equal to the amount of VP they earned, with any additional VP earned in that time adding to the duration. (Streamer)

Au Naturale: Lily now sprouts flowers, petals, and vines from her body that she can utilize as clothing but wearing anything else will cause her pollen to spread at regular intervals. (Flower Girl)

Double-dealing: Lily has developed a reputation for going behind people’s backs. Bravo! Let’s reward that behaviour! Now will Lily commits an act that she explicitly said she wouldn’t, she will be rewarded with a corresponding amount of BP. (Two-faced)

Lily’s facial expression was aghast as she looked over her options in front of her. The Demon merely smiled, “So then, Lily, out of your options, which one is the most tantalizing?”

Lily screwed up her face, both the first and second options had such negative side effects that could be abused she clenched her fists, “The third one, I won’t use it but it’s better than the other options presented.”

Lucian gave a chuckle, “Of course you won’t. What about our Master? Which option would you prefer for your jaded ex?”

Watching Lily’s face, Caleb kept his fists clenched, “Just give her the third one. It doesn’t do anything bad if she doesn’t use it.”

The demon chuckled again, “Of course, yes, in the unlikely scenario that she doesn’t use it it truly is a more tame transformation. But it is not up me. Now then…Our resident vocalist.” Lucian glided over to Mira, “The voters were most kind to you last time, though since then you’ve proven to be a bit of a cutthroat in this competition, are you worried at all about how that will affect your chances this round?”

If Mira was worried, she didn’t betray it on her face, keeping it even as she responded, “I have only been true to myself throughout this competition, I haven’t lied once about who I am or my intentions. I’m the same person they restored a voice to, I hope they can see that.”

Tapping the slapstick against his palm, Lucian let out a droll, “Well, we’ll certainly see. Now, let’s see what those options are!”

Sing Your Feelings Out: We all know from musicals that the most intense emotions must be sung. From now on Mira will feel compelled to sing whenever she feels intense emotion. (Singer)

Facilitator: On behalf of the Sabotage Shop, Mira carries with her a deck of Sabotage cards at all times. She will sell random cards from this deck to anyone willing to buy, for the usual cost of 3 BP, plus a 1 BP convenience fee that Mira gets to keep. Mira cannot buy or use cards from her deck. (Agent)

Looking the Part: Mira has quite a domineering attitude so she should wear the appropriate attire. She will now have a wardrobe of skintight leather and latex fetishwear. Not wearing these clothes will make her feel increasingly submissive. (Dominatrix)

Poll: https://strawpoll.com/e2naXPjNzyB

Mira looked over the list and before the demon even had a chance to ask, “The second one, it’s a nice way to earn some BP and I have a feeling people will be using a lot more sabotages in the coming round.”

Smiling Lucian looked on in mock reverence, “So direct, well, we love a lady that knows what she wants. What about our master? What does he want?” The demon looked over at Caleb.

Wrinkling his face, Caleb finally said, “I’d prefer the first one, Mira has a lovely singing voice, it would be nice to have more occasions to hear it.”

“Oh, you heard it here, folks, the Master wants his harem regularly doused in aphrodisiac instilling music.” Ignoring Caleb's scandalized face, Lucian hovered past Eliza to Amy, “Ah yes, our resident Oni. Quite jealous of those horns of yours, I must say, after all, I’m a demon and lack a set, how sad is that?” Being met with a flat expression from Amy, Lucian cleared his throat and pressed forward, “Anyway, you certainly have created a little niche for yourself, the Master’s confidante, hell, everyone’s confidante, always lending an ear to those in need. Must say, after your introduction, I think hardly anyone expected such a thing from you.”

Amy sighed, “I have been told I’m bad at first impressions, now is there a point to all this preamble?”

“Why, my dear, of course there is a point, we have tweaked your paths to fit your status in the harem. I think you’ll find the changes pleasing.” Lucian spun the slapstick as the transformation options appeared.

Helping a Bro Out: Amy and Caleb have started a budding friendship despite their history. This transformation will affect what Amy views as casual affection between friends. If a bro has a boner, are you gonna just let them suffer? Amy knows bros help each other out. (Tomboy)

Oni’s love Peaches: You can’t have an oni without a peach! From now Amy will receive increased sexual pleasure from all things anal-related as well as having her own rear end enhanced. (Oni)

Looking Preem: Amy is already living her life building Ai, let’s give her a makeover that would make her fit in Night City or Villa Straylight. Tight leather, mesh, and cyberware fashion, not to mention changing her hair to be more appropriate for the setting. Wearing anything else will increase Amy’s arousal. (AI)

Poll: https://strawpoll.com/3RnYX8awBye

Lucian looked toward the Oni, “Well then, any of these options strike your fancy?”

To everyone’s surprise, including her own, Amy's voice was excited, “The last one, please! Cyberwear is normally so expensive.” There was a pause, and she regained some composure. “I’m a programmer, is it any surprise I have dabbled in cyberpunk as a genre?”

Lucian smirked and turned to Caleb, “Does Master agree, or are you looking forward to plump oni assets?”

Caleb’s face flushed red, “I’ll admit the second one is tempting, but if she wants the third option, it actually seems cool. Let her have it.”

“Yet no love for broing out. Well then, onto our next contestant, Ms Castro! Another woman who has changed quite dramatically since her onset on our little program.”

Wrestling her hands together, Noemi gave a small chuckle, “I hope it’s for the better.”

“Oh I think we can easily say that it is certainly for the benefit of our program. From bully to diehard wife advocate, you certainly have a way of handling yourself…and other contestants. So we thought to embrace this new exciting side of yours in your latest lineup!”

Staying on Top: Noemi has become quite enthusiastic about her position in the harem and making sure she is Caleb’s number one. From now on Noemi will feel compelled to outdo her competitors if she hears they have engaged with Caleb intimately and will receive bonus VP from Caleb if she can get him to say she performed better. (Yandere)

Master’s Pet: Noemi enjoys being at her master’s side, and we will make her look the part. Noemi grows dog ears and tail and will receive sexual pleasure while wearing a collar or leash. (Submissive)

Harem Hermana: Noemi just gained a lot of family members—her sisters in the harem! Noemi will now view her fellow contestants as her sisters, with those higher in VP being her responsible older sisters whom she looks up to and tries to emulate, and those lower in VP being her younger sisters whom she needs to help to grow into their roles in the harem. (Family Girl)

Noemi blushed as she looked over the options, recalling a certain letter. Lucian leaned in, “Any of these options sound appealing to you, Ms. Castro?”

Her face only growing a brighter red, Noemi nodded, “I don’t need the first or third, and I wouldn’t mind…Caleb having me on a leash.” She then bashfully hid her face in her hands.

A toothy grin spread across the demon’s face, “Oh now Master, you’re not gonna deny the woman what she wants, are you?”

Caleb turned his head, even just the thought of Noemi on all fours looking up at him with those big eyes was making him hard, “Yeah…no, I mean, if she’s fine with it, sure.”

Smirking widely, the host made his way over to Maddy, who, after the challenge, felt completely drained. It was taking all she had to be present in this moment, and even then, most of it was flying over her head. She looked up at Lucian with hollow eyes as he spoke, “Now our Ms. Purcell has had a rough go of things this week, constantly betrayed, stolen from, looked over. The only highlight has been her date with the Master, so sweet, such pure love. To that end, we are looking to enhance her experience here on Harem Hotel with these transformations.”

Cater to Taste: A good chef knows how to cater to a wide variety of tastes. Madeline will now subconsciously cater to the kinks of the people around her (Chef)

Truffle Nose: Pigs have a gifted sense of smell and now so will Madeline. Madeline will be able to smell if someone has had sex in the last 24 hours, and the smell will increase her own arousal. (Piggy)

Make the Rockin' World Go Round: Madeline's butt draws the eye, making it hard for people to look away from it. Maddy will feel a pleasant tingle when people stare at it, increasing in intensity if her ass is bare. (Exhibitionist)

Poll: https://strawpoll.com/kogjRjze1g6

Without much in the way of any sort of reaction, Maddy just said plainly without waiting for prompting, “I don’t want any of them. But you’re gonna make me choose, at least Cater to taste might make Caleb happy, so I’ll go with that.”

Lucian frowned; an actively despondent contestant tended to be disliked by audiences. Angry, he could work with, but defeated was rougher. He tried to frame a smile again, “Of course, trying to please the one highlight in your life right now, makes sense. Do you agree, Master?”

Caleb looked over at Maddy, worried, and tried to step forward to go over to her, only to find his body repelled back to his standing position. He grimaced, “I want what Maddy want’s just move on, please?”

Lucian clicked his tongue, this situation would need to be remedied. But for now, he contented himself by keeping on his showman smile and floating over to Stella, “Ms. Vincent, I feel like after this week, you and I share a kinship, we relate to each other on a new level. After all, you took a little trek in the demonic while you were being punished this week. How do you feel about that?”

Stella raised a single middle finger to the demon, “Fuck you Lucian.” She raised a double bird and extended it to the audience, “And while I’m at it, fuck all you fuckers getting off to this shit.”

Smirking Lucian tapped his slapstick against the ground, “So very charming as always Ms. Vincent, though can’t say you’re fully wrong. Many members of our audience were quite taken with your demonic makeover and so..” he waved his slapstick.

Whatcha Gonna Do About It?: Stella's bratty attitude becomes more effective at provoking a reaction. The person she's provoking will find an increased urge to "put her in her place", and both they and Stella will receive increased pleasure from doing so. (Brat)

Dirty Chaser: One normally follows up their shot with a chaser, but now Stella will be adept at following up on her peer's Sexual exploits. Stella will receive increased rewards for sex with multiple partners and receive VP for sex with the person who most recently slept with Caleb. (Barkeep)

Impin' Ain't Easy: The fans have spoken and they quite enjoyed Stella’s foray as a devil. Stella when gain devilish aspects, a horn, wings, and tail. In addition, all these areas will become sensitive erogenous zones for her. (Tiny Devil)

Poll: https://strawpoll.com/NMnQN9PzDg6

Stella looked at the transformation options and stamped her foot, “What the hell! All of these suck!”

Chuckling and twirling his baton, Lucian nodded, “Yes, well, the general audience felt maybe you could handle some harsher transformations after your performance this week. Do you have a favourite?”

Stella openly growled, “Out of all of this shit, I’d rather do the last one, at least I know how to handle it already.”

Lucian looked to Caleb, “And Master, your opinion?”

Caleb frowned, “I like the first option best. If she’s going to behave like a brat, we both might as well get something out of it.”

Stella stuck her foot out and stuck out her tongue and eyelid at Caleb as Lucian went past, “Well, good to see you can have your own opinion on something at least, Master. Last but not least, we have our resident Gambler. Ms. Quinn, you have made a strong claim of playing the game this week yet you only got second place in the challenge. Are you disappointed?”

Maya tapped her chin, keeping a bright smile on her face, “No, I just think luck was against me this time. Eliza pretty much owes her victory to getting matched with Maddy twice. Things might have gone differently if I were in the same situation. I think I played the best I could have, and second isn’t a bad showing!”

Lucian had to admire the perspicacity, she was the only one grinning on stage after everything had transpired. “So are you ready to see your transformation options?”

Maya pumped her fist excitedly, “Yes, let's go!”

The demon wasted no more time and spun his rod, causing the options to appear.

Crass Class: When the lower class becomes rich, they are often mocked for their way of speech, no longer! Maya will become very versed in dirty talk, and her narrations will increase the arousal of whoever hears them. (Nouveau Riche)

Full Hand: Maya is embracing the game fully and we want to help. From now on Maya can carry 3 Sabotages at once. Her wardrobe will also change to fit her role as a master of cards. (Gambler)

Anti-Social Anxiety: Let's face it, Maya needs people. Now more than ever. The more people around her the happier Maya will be, but with no one, despair will start in quickly. (Alone)

Poll: https://strawpoll.com/BDyNzr1YWyR

The host looked over expectantly at the purple haired woman, “So then, see anything you like?”

“Full hand, please!” She cheered, “I could do so many more complex plays with ready access to more cards!”

Lucian smirked knowingly, “How about our master? Any opinions on Maya getting a new look and more Sabotages?”

Caleb shifted his weight uneasily, he trusted Maya more after their date, but still, the thought that she was so eager unnerved him. “I’d prefer the third option. I know she has trouble socializing, it might encourage her to make more friends.”

Lucian floated toward the center of the stage, “Ah as patronizing as ever, there’s no accounting for taste though. That brings us to the end of our transformations but we still have two polls left for our Audience. The first is the standard Popularity Poll, nothing fancy just vote for who you like best. The second is the first MVP poll of the competition, please vote for who you think is currently playing our little game the best and taking the most advantage of the opportunities put in front of them. We reserve the right to suspend this poll in the future if we notice anything untoward going on. That being said! One week! Make your voices heard!”
