And the winners are...

The soothing sound of waves wafts in and out across the powdered sand like a relaxing lullaby. Seagulls call out from the sky, but otherwise, you find yourself comforted by the solitude of this exotic location. You're not completely alone, but you stand watching a single girl standing with her bare feet wiggling through the hot sand of the beach. It's Fang--messy pink hair, short, flat, but a cute catfolk eager to get on with the show. She poses in a pure white one piece swimsuit, traced around the fringes with pink, and adorable frills extend from the material around her waist almost like a skirt. It hugs the curves of her petite figure tightly. Strangely enough, she holds a stack of cards in her hand like a politician about to make a speech, though if only watching a presidential debate was this much fun.

Fang clears her throat. "Hello, and thank you everybody for voting on the Best Girl Poll II! We got over one hundred entries this time around, and there were far more answers compared to the first too. I'll be your host, everybody's favourite vigilante of justice, Fang of the Claw Patrol! Because who else is better at exploring girls than me? And don't you answer that with something like... Oh, but I just finished the Erotrain stuff! That doesn't make you an expert, all right? I've been checking out the girls of this world before you even got transported over, so I think I know a thing or two.

"Anyway, let's got on with it! We had had thirty-five girls to choose from, but I do need to begin with an apology to Sen-nu and Linzeri. Both were more prevalent than a few others on this list, yet they were forgotten completely... Sorry, girls. We'll get you next time. I bet you would have done pretty well too. Having two bodies with one soul? That's hot as hell. And succubi? Always great." She clears her throat a second time. "So, I'll start with a top ten! And then after that, we'll do some honourable mentions. If anyone forgot, the winners of the last poll were Amara and Nyllia, and ooh I said both of their first names. That means we're married or something now, right? No? All right, well let's see if more elves take the trophy this time around.

"Number ten! This goes to Vivi, the wicked witch of the woods. I know when you first met her, she was as little trouble maker. You really showed her that day, huh? Or maybe you showed Niki... I don't remember. Either way, she's really taken a liking to you. I think she realized how lonely and **** she was. We won't drag this out all day, so I'll only bring out the top five. Sorry, Vivi, but you did pretty damn well! Also we're like the same size, so I don't have to stand on my tippy toes to give you a big sloppy kiss.

"Next is number nine. This was Delphi! People do like little troublemakers, especially since they mesh well with other girls. You know things are gonna be fun with her around. I wonder if people like being tied up, like when girls are tied up, or just really want a tiny girl to hang from their cock. To be fair, that is kinda hot. I wonder what would happen if I put her inside my...

"... Sorry! The next is number eight, and that goes to Snow! Sure she likes to watch, but that just means she'll be more hot and ready when it's her turn, right? Plus we're both catfolk, so people have good taste. We have cute ears, cute tails, and did you know we like being pat on the head? Okay maybe that's just the two of us and not everyone, but she's also a sexy ninja! I bet people liked that too.

"Number seven is Alice, everybody's favourite golem. A girlfriend that can come apart? Think of the possibilities. You could put her head down your pants. Her hand down your pants. You could put any part of her down your pants. Imagine how kinky it must be for her. You could totally take her pussy and travel like three cities away, and she'd be completely helpless as you did whatever you wanted to it. Or if her body went somewhere and her head was left behind. Picture the cute faces she'd make if her body was teased. I can see why she's so high on the list. Oh, and she has a gun in her arm. That's pretty sweet.

"We're getting down the list now! Number six is up next, and that goes to Lalarin. While I'm a bit of a loose cannon vigilante, prowling the streets with my gang stopping crime, she's technically also one, but doesn't like to call herself that. She's a lot more... flamboyant about it, calling herself a super heroine. And I'm all for it! She's a hottie with a body and could probably kick my butt, so that's great, but she also has a peculiar luck ability. She seems to dodge fatal blows, but at the same time, her clothes end up getting torn apart, or other embarrassing things happen to her. Now that's a sight to behold. You won't forget being saved by the great Rabbit's Foot after seeing that.

"Finally, we're in the top five. Are you ready? For number five, Yin made it to this spot, and I don't blame you. A submissive maid that does anything you ask? I see what you're doing there, you horn-dog. And she's a smoking hot red-skinned devil girl? I get it. Would you ask her to do super kinky stuff, or would you treat her with more finesse than that? I'd probably dive right in and ask for some crazy stuff immediately. Oh, and I'd just devour her tail. Seeing her react to her tail being touched makes me tingle all over. Come on out here, Yin! You're the fifth most popular girl in this entire story, you know!"

Emerging from behind nearby palm trees swaying in the gentle breeze comes a bright red figure with horns atop her head. Yin is unmistakably a devil--smoking hot, and not just by temperature. The tight, black one piece she wears nearly seems like a second layer of skin to the point of even the indent of her belly button being visible, and as it slides up her body, you can see it part quite generously between her breasts. The straps continue up and over her shoulders. This showcases quite a lot of her cleavage--the cut down so deep that you can even make out the bottom of her breasts. When she turns, you can see that it has absolutely nothing up the sides either. There's just a thin strap around her back to keep it on tight, and another around her waist which leads to a thin pair of matching bottoms to cover her ass. It's quote a lot more erotic than you've seen her wear before.

"Uhm... Thank you, Master. I'll continue to serve as best as I can," she says with a bow.

Fang slides her hands together. "Oh good. You even bent over after saying that, showing off those big titties. You're an expert."

She quickly stands back up and flushes dark. "Wh-What?!"

"Next is our number four. This goes to... Niki! That's our first member of the main party. She might not have made it to the top three, but that's still pretty damn good, and to be honest with you, I totally would have voted for her. I can't say no to a strong woman with dark skin. Anyway, let's get the best tomboy warrior out here now and see what bathing suit we made her wear. Ooh, I can't wait."

Next to step out from the trees is Niki, the first member to ever join your party. Her fit body is garbed by nothing but a dark, leopard-skin-coloured bikini, though it looks far too small for her body type. It isn't just one size under either. The fabric straights to contain her huge bust, and pretty much all parts of them are visible besides the tips--top cleavage, underboob, you name it. It's actually so small that you can make out the borders of her Rite of the Sun tattoos from atop and below the material.

"Did I get the right one?" she asks. "It doesn't hurt me, but I feel like if I wasn't as strong as I am, it would."

Fang wipes her wrist over her mouth. "It's p-perfect," she mutters. "Actually, turn around just in case."

"Like this?" Niki turns to show her ass. Her bottoms are practically lost between the cheeks.

"Yes! Yes like that!" Fang blurts out. She then clears her throat once again. "Sorry. We really need to continue. Congratulations. Next up is number three, so we're really getting close now. Bursting past one of the original party members somehow is the mighty Lady Tesgella! Or I should say, Nyllia. She was absent for so long in the story, but people still loved her, and she was directly inspired by the cover art as well, at least as of this page being written. It might change in the future. There's a bit of meta knowledge for you. Anyway, come on out, holy paladin of light."

Coming forth is the divine woman in question, though she's hardly wearing something probably allowed in any church. It's hardly a bathing suit at all. In fact, you think for a moment that she's naked, but that isn't quite the case. There are two golden crosses, almost like bandaids, glued just over her nipples, and a third covers up the lips of her pussy between her legs. Otherwise, her shapely, sexy body is completely uncovered for you to ogle.

Fang nearly chokes. She looks to the side and covers the bottom of her face, taking a moment to catch her breath. "Nobody told me..." she mumbles to herself. "Oh by the gods I didn't expect that one." Finally, she looks back though her face is growing more flushed by the contestant. "W-Well, here's the winner of the third place position. As we know, she isn't as pure as one might guess from a paladin, and boy did she just drive that point home. I don't think that was picked out for her either."

Nyllia draws her hands back through her elegant hair with a coy smile across her face. "The one they chose was not as fun, but do not ask me to turn around. There is not anything to cover the back." She then bows. "Thank you so much for all of the support. As she previously stated, I have been rather absent, but there must have been something to keep everybody so captivated this long. I hope that I can continue to live up to such expectations. On my word, I will do everything I can to protect you."

"I need some water." Fang looks over to Yin already holding up a glass. She takes it and gives it a long gulp until it's already finished. She then takes a deep breath. "All right. I'm good. It's time to move onto number two! Moving on from the previous winner of the poll that was done on characters outside of the main party, we move onto Amara, the previous winner of the poll for the main party! We were really close to a repeat of last time, which isn't a bad thing, but I can certainly see a trend. You guys really dig elves. I don't blame you of course. Come say something, Ms. Tedrilui!"

Amara appears next. She's dressed in something definitely not as skimpy as the last example, and her bust isn't large, but it is decorated by a lovely pale pink bikini top trimmed with gold. The center is where it'd held closed, and it's done so by a golden sphere. Straps curve up and over her supple shoulders, and around her neck is still her choker--unable to remove it without your help. You can't see her bottoms, but there's silver fabric tied to the side of her waist to drape over one leg just enough to conceal between her thighs.

She offers a quiet wave. "Hello there," she says sweetly. "I am uncertain what to say."

"Classic! She still looks stunning, even without exposing a lot of herself. It fits her well. Plus, you know what she has going on. You don't need to be reminded. Oh, and you can say whatever you'd like there."

"Well, I am incredibly grateful to be voted so highly twice in a row. And uhm... it makes me shy to admit this, but I made a little alteration to what was made for me."

"You did? What did it look like before?"

"It originally... had bottoms," she whispers as she slowly parts the curtain, though stops an inch short of actually revealing anything. By the view of her bare inner thigh, you can see though that there truly is nothing on under that tied-off bit of fabric softly blowing in the breeze. "Is that all right?"

Fangs drops to the sand. Her cue cards fall around her. She then slaps her hands together in prayer. "Oh thank you for this gift, divine above."

"Wh-What is it that you are doing, Ms. Fang?"

Slowly, she stands back on her feet, though now her knees are filthy. "Just about to announce the winner of this poll. Are you all ready?"

Yin, Niki, Nyllia, and Amara all nod behind her.

"All right," she continues. "Here we go! The number one spot and winner of the Best Girl Poll II is... Eva Beela, the bouncy bunnyfolk! The elven supremacy has been toppled, and a bunnyfolk has made it to the top position! While I should feel upset since I'm a catfolk and all, I can't help but respect the decision. She's short like me, but she has bigger... uh, ears than I do. That's pretty much the only difference between us physically, but she's also an adorable silly girl who has a fun kinky side. Exhibitionism? That's the subject that made the writer of this story popular on the site to begin with! A story called Irritating Underwear or something. I guess an exhibitionist just makes for a real erotic character. Are you here, Eva?"

Like a ribbon, thin blue fabric wraps around from Eva's hips into a V shape at her groin to barely cover her beneath. Around her sides is a circular silver ring, and said material continues backwards to squeeze her ass. It continues upwards as well, however, where it extends up and over her massive bust like suspenders to attach behind her neck. It's a slingshot bikini! The ribbons are barely wide enough to cover up her same, and as she hesitantly creeps out from behind the palm trees, she can barely muster the confident to appear in front of everybody else. That's not all, of course. Her face is flushed and her legs are shaking not only because of fear, but because of a thrill tingling through her body.

She brings her arms up to cautiously cover her barely-concealed titties. Although it's humiliating, she cracks a smile. "I... I really won?!" Her chest heaves up and down in excitement."

"You did!" Fang shouts back. "You were the most popular girl in the entire story this time around, so stop covering up, puff out that chest, and act confident like you deserve damn it!"

After pursing her lips, Eva nods and brings her hands to her sides. She then throws them into the air in cheer, causing her bust to bounce--nearly slipping right out of their covering. "Hurray!" She looks to you with teary eyes. "You really think so highly of me? That's amazing... I don't know what to say, but I feel like I could cry."

Fang claps her hands. "It is amazing. Bask in the attention, my exhibitionist friend."

"Hey! I'm n-not like that. I mean, that isn't why I'm happy anyway. Just don't say that, okay!?"

"And I think the certified best girl deserves to be put front and center so you can really admire her beauty."

"Oh, well if you say so," Eva says with a giggle. She plants her hands firmly on her hips and poses, still with her bust nearly popping right out. A moment passes. Then, there's a sudden poof of swirling smoke clouds around her. They dissipate quickly, and she's left standing completely nude in front of you and the other girls. Her perfect tits are bare--small, hard nipples poking up from her perky chest. Her smooth pussy shimmers under the warm afternoon sun, perhaps already thrilled by being displayed in front of others in such an erotic bathing suit. She doesn't even realize her position at first. Then as she looks down, her eyes widen, and she tries to cover up.

However, Niki grabs her wrist before she can and pulls her over to the rest. "Come on now. Stand with us."

"Hey, no! I'm naked!"

Nyllia pats a hand on her shoulder. "If it helps, you are not wearing much less than I am."

"It doesn't help that much," she mumbles, but admits defeat with a hang of her head.

Fang dusts off her hands. "Well, I didn't win, but in a way, I think I definitely won. So did you, huh? Anyway, let's do some honourable mentions for fun, because this isn't about just who got the highest score. Everybody is somebody's favourite girl, and let's be real. They're all a bunch of hotties. Some more hopeless than others. So let's bring out Sen-nu before wrapping things up."

Two figures step in perfect unison across the sands--tails trailing behind them. Both bodies of Sen-nu are garbed in bikini tops consisting of two straps of overlapping fabric--one black and one white. Their bottoms are the same. Upon closer inspection, the colours are actually reversed on them both. After arriving beside Fang, they take position on either side of her before stopping immediately with hands crossed over their stomachs.

Fang giggles under her breath. "I don't mind this..." she mumbles to herself. "Where are your cards?"

"I memorized them," speaks the one.

The other speaks next. "My name is Sen-nu. They requested that I be named the first honourable mention for being left out of this poll, but I don't mind. I'm not trying to be the most popular. Though next on the list is Amara for having the most Best votes. Another mention goes to Masumi for just barely not making the top ten, which is quite interesting given that she isn't even of Castle Phoenix like the other winners were."

Next to appear is Linzeri. She appears wearing... basically nothing. She'd nude, apart from knee-high heeled boots. She carries a card in her hand, and as she stops right in front of Fang, she looks you straight in the eyes. "And me. I supposed I do deserve an honourable mention too. I know there were a lot of names to consider, but I was forgotten, yet that girl from the Golden Slime you played magical cards with was? How embarrassing, and not for me. The one who forgot that should feel ashamed."

Fang steps forward and pushes her face right into Linzeri's bare ass without saying anything.

Linzeri glances back, but then just returns her attention to you. "Where do you think I would have placed? The top ten? Sen-nu is a demon too, and I think she wouldn't have been far behind. Anyway, the final honourable mention goes to Brizi for being the most popular of Dajy's little harem. I suppose people like pigtails? Or somebody who gets off on denying someone. I can't judge you for that one." She snickers. "I think Fang may be out of commission, so allow me to wrap things up instead. Thank you for voting, darlings. I'm supposed to send you to the new, under-construction wiki for the world of Absoterra now, whatever that means. That about concludes the Best Girl Poll II. Maybe in Best Girl Poll III, major characters won't be forgotten, hmm?"

Thank you everyone for all your support!

With the Trial of the Erotrain over, the gauntlet of crazy non-stop intercourse can be pulled back to a slower pace, and maybe I'll actually update some of the other stories in Abso too. Though the biggest news is the "wiki" I've been working on. It isn't an actual wiki, because I don't feel like hosting a server and wikia didn't care too much for my story, but it uses World Anvil, and it actually works sooo well for what I want. It'll be a reference to all sorts of things, like races, classes, locations, etc. Mainly of course, it'll be there for characters!

It'll take quite awhile to get it up to date, so there are only a handful of entries as of writing this page, but check it out right here. I spent a lot of time tweaking the formatting and making things look decent. Keep checking it out as I slowly fill out a page for every character and more.

Blah blah blah Patreon. The newest post has all of the girls in order of first place to last free of charge.

Thank you again for reading. I can't wait to make more content for everybody out there.
