Return to Normalcy

Jack looked puzzled, then frustrated as the results came in.

"Well...it appears the audience has developed a merciful streak," He said, addressing the camera. "You're going to slide right back into your normal life as is. Nobody will think anything odd of your eternal youth, although they may be inclined to treat you a bit more childishly."

Ali blinked.

"I...just get to go back to normal? Like, keep my job and my friends and my apartment and stuff?"

Jack nodded.

"It seems that way."

In truth, she was breathing relief. Ali hadn't wanted to go back to high school. The thought of being trapped as a student, and god forbid some of her loved ones transforming right along with her, had been terrifying. She hadn't even liked it the first time.

This though...this was great! Even though she'd be young and tarted up like a schoolgirl for the rest of her life, she'd at least be able to carry on as normal. It was the first real break she'd gotten the entire time.

"So what now?" She asked cautiously.

"Now you pick another box. Then you can choose whether to continue or quit."

She knew that answer well enough. The changes she'd undergone so far were rough, but not life ruining. It was time to get out while she was only a little behind.

"Alrighty then," Ali said, pointing to her next box. "I want that one."

The box opened, and her heart sank. It was her 5th Punishment in a row, and one of the worst she could have opened. It was the puppet on strings; the Compulsion box.

"Well, that's a good note to leave off on," Jack said with a grin. His frustration from her overlight punishment seemed to have melted away. "This next choice will determine how Ali here is **** to behave. It covers everything from compulsive behavior to body language to any of her non-sexual urges. Let's see what she has in store!"

1. No No - Ali will no longer have the ability to say no. She can't deny any command given to her by anyone, so long as it doesn't involve harming herself.

2. Act your age - Put simply, she must act the age she now appears to be. So while her mind is very adult, she'll act like a teenager.

3. Gullible - Ali will believe absolutely anything she's told from now on, now matter how ridiculous or clearly the speaker is trying to take advantage of her.

4. Total Tease - From her walk, to the way she sits, to her every motion, everything she does will be designed to tease those around her. Should dovetail nicely with the temptation she represents to women.

5. Twitch Plays Ali - After the show, Ali will no longer be the master of her own destiny. Instead, her life will be livestreamed like a choose your own adventure game with her possible paths and decisions being chosen by her viewers.

Her eyes went wide.

"These are terrible!" She protested. "I don't think I could live with any of them."

"Well, you'd best learn how. I'll remind you, and the audience, that all the changes on this show are permanent," He said. "Unless you win the game, of course. Or you get a reward to undo it."

Ali clenched her jaw as the voting started. Before, her changes were all ones she could live with. This was one she might have to keep playing to undo. No matter what the outcome, it was going to be bad. She waited to see just how bad it would be.
