Transformations, Round 1!

Jessica stared at the goddess as she made her pronouncement. The goddess - not just any goddess, but Ishtar, Queen of heaven! Jessica worked with many gods in her practice, but she always thought of them as… energies, forces. Personal forces, maybe, with desires and goals, but not really beings. But here was an actual goddess in the flesh, who effortlessly took control of people's bodies, and whose mere displeasure was a raging storm.

By all rights, she should be terrified. She had been kidnapped to who-knows-where by a famously vengeful goddess, to be the sex-**** of her best friend's boyfriend. Part of her was terrified, maybe, some lizard part at the back of her brain that saw Ishtar and wanted only to run.

But mostly, she was awe-struck. The gods were real! Magic was real! She believed in magic already, practiced spells and rituals, but this was different. It was one thing to do a ritual to ward off bad luck and hope for the best, quite another to feel her own clothes writhe and change across her body.

If only it wasn't being used to **** her into a harem. That thought set her teeth on edge, made every part of her tense. She didn't terribly mind the thought of her partner having other partners, or even being the submissive one in bed - but her body was hers. Under other circumstances, she'd have been fine giving Theo a roll in the hay, but it would be her choice. The fact that anyone, even a goddess, wanted to **** this on her - it made her blood boil. She wasn't given to big displays of emotions, but a fierce and burning hatred was building in her, towards this show, towards Ishtar, and towards the very idea of fucking Theo.

Even worse, Theo wasn't just anyone - he was Joanna’s boyfriend. Jo had been there for Jessica through her worst days - when she thought she'd lost her entire world, Jo had been her rock, her shoulder to cry on, her place to land. No matter what, Jo had been there, even when she had her own battles to fight, she had been there. Jessica knew it had cost her friends, relationships, even a job, but the girl refused to give up on Jessica, no matter the cost.

And this show wanted Jessica to fuck her boyfriend? Theo was the best thing that had ever happened to her friend, and gods knew Jessica had listened to her ramble about him often enough. They'd been together for months and months now, but she still couldn't stop herself from bringing him up in every conversation. How smart he was, or how hot, or how he'd brought her flowers, or taken her out to dinner, or any number of things. Jo had had a rough life, and Theo was the biggest spot of light in it - and now this show wanted Jessica to steal him. Her disgust at that nearly drowned out the rage bubbling up inside. Nearly.

“That's right!” Said Ishtar, pulling Jessica out of her reverie, “it's time for your very first transformations! But where to start?” She paused theatrically, pretending to consider the choice. “Oh, I know! Let's start with Joanna.”

With a flourish, she turned to the young sub, giving her an exaggerated wink.

“Are you excited to see your options? Well, here you are!”

She gestured behind her, and a light shone from her staff, protecting a screen into the empty air, text scrolling down across it:

• Sharing the fun: Joanna loves going under for her Master, and now she'll take others with her. Whenever Joanna is in trance, or acting on post-hypnotic suggestions, other contestants around her fall into a light trance. Likewise, whenever anyone else is hypnotised or acting on a suggestion around Joanna, she will fall into a trance. This trance has no supernatural effects, but does make them suggestible and easy to bring into a deeper trance. (Hypno)
• Proper manners: A good **** always speaks respectfully to her Owner. From now on, Joanna will only be able to address or refer to her Master using appropriately deferential titles, such as Sir, Master, Owner, etc. She can still use his name, but only in ways that make her position clear (e.g. “Master Theo”, “Theo, my Owner,” etc.) (****)
• Advising the king: As her Master's current favourite, and queen of his heart, Joanna's advice matters highly. At the end of each week, she will let her Master know of one girl who deserves a reward for her behaviour as a good ****, and one girl who deserves to be punished. This recommendation will always reflect her honest opinion as close to objectively as possible, but she is not immune to bias or deception. If Theo chooses to give a reward, the girl gets a small magical boon for the next week, and Joanna gets extra BP. If Theo chooses to punish the misbehaving girl, he will get extra MP depending on the severity of the misbehaviour and the harshness of the punishment. The punished girl may resent him or consider the punishment unjust, but she will also consider her behaviour again. This does not enforce any change, but does **** the punished girl to self-reflect. She will not blame Joanna in any way. (Queen)

“Well there we go!” Said Ishtar, once the girls had had a moment to read. “We're starting off pretty straightforward. Now, Joanna, which of these would you prefer?”

Joanna stared, wild-eyed, at the text floating in the air, speechless as she processed the words. She had… she didn't know what she'd expected, but something much worse than this.

“T…The second one,” she said, finally, then fell silent again.

“Oh? And why is that, darling?,” Ishtar asked, suppressing another eye roll. Why had she agreed to work with amateurs?

“Well… I already call Theo Master. It would be awkward to do in front of others, but I don't mind if people know,” the stammering **** replied, flushed. She didn't mention the heat between her legs at the thought of everyone knowing, or the humiliating fantasies of having to admit that she was a **** in front of her friends and family.

“And if you had to ask Theo to veto one, which one would it be?”

That made Theo stir. “What?” He asked, perplexed. “But I don't have any MP -”

“Oh don't worry, Theo,” Ishtar cut in. “It wouldn't be fair to deny you your right as Master, just because you haven't had a chance to earn MP yet. As a unique exception, you'll have a veto to use for this round of transformations. These are your girls, after all - you should have a hand in shaping them!”

She gave him an exaggerated wink, then returned her attention to his girlfriend.

“Well, sweetheart, which one would you want your loving Owner to use his veto on?”

Joanna thought about it for a moment, chewing her lip. “Well, they're not as bad as I expected. But I don't like the last one much. I don't want to be the reason anyone gets punished,” she said. And I don't want my Master spanking anyone else, was the thought she didn't add.

“Quite interesting! And how about you, Theo. If it came down to it, which of them would you veto?”

“The second one,” Theo replied, to most people's surprise, but there was no hesitation in his voice.

“Oh? And why is that then, hmm?”

“It's…” he started, fumbling for words. It was part of their relationship, the way they navigated their power dynamic. He didn't want to lose it, and he worried what would happen to his girlfriend if she could only address him like his ****.

“When she calls me Master, I want it to be her choice.”

“Very good! And are there any transformations you think would suit her?”

“The first one, I guess. I'd need to be careful when I hypnotise her, but I should be careful anyway,” be said.

“What a considerate Master we have here! But now… “ She gave her microphone a twirl and a flourish “let's move on to our next contestant, the fiery Anna Martinez!”

With yet another flourish, the text floating in the air behind Ishtar changed.

• In Vino Veritas: Everyone knows you get more honest in good company, especially with a drink in you. From now on, that's especially true where Anna is involved. Anytime people are hanging out with her and either music or **** is involved, everyone - including Anna - become extremely honest and sharing, even about truths they'd rather keep hidden, and will even volunteer their secrets, unless they have **** self-control. (Party Hearty)
• Giving them what they want: Anna's already been doing LonelyFans content, and now she will continue her work! Each week, Ishtar will collect requests from the audience and give them to Anna to fulfill. She has discretion in which to fulfill, but must fulfill at least once each week, or suffer a temporary punishment transformation. Fulfilling more than one - or fulfilling a particularly humiliating request - results in bonus BP. As her Master, Theo gets a copy of each video or picture. (Skinfluencer)
• One-sided relationship: As a free use toy, Anna is here to give pleasure, not get it. She will no longer expect her sexul partners to reciprocate, and become increasingly turned on by the thought of being used without regard for her pleasure. She can still enjoy being pleasured, but will consider it an odd eccentricity in her partners. (Freeuse)

https://strawpoll.com/e7ZJa4RGYg3

“Quite the selection! Same question for you, darling - which of these would you prefer? And are there any you'd want your dear friend Theo to veto for you?”

“I… I don't like the second one, but if Theo needs to veto any, it should be the first one.”

“Oh? And why's that then?” Asked Ishtar, fighting the urge to just drag answers out with magic. These girls gave her nothing to work with! Could none of them think far enough to give at least a cursory explanation?

“Well… I don't know what sort of pervert thing the viewers of this show would come up with, and I don't want to be sending my nudes to Theo while he's got a girlfriend. But the first one's worse. How am I supposed to relax and hang out with people if they're worried about spilling all their secrets? Besides, much as I like honesty, sometimes getting all deep can be a mood killer.”

Finally, thought Ishtar.

“I notice you haven't mentioned ‘One-sided relationship’” she said, giving the redhead a knowing look.

“Well... I mean, I like generous lovers, but if I get turned on by being used, well, it doesn't really matter does it? Cumming because my partner fucks me silly for his own pleasure is just as good as cumming because he gives me head, you know?”

“What insightful words!,” the goddess replied, and turned to Theo again. “And what do you think, loverboy?”

“I… i agree with Anna on this one,” he replied, a faint blush visible on his cheeks. “I don't have anything to say that she didn't.”

Ishtar shrugged. Can't win them all.

“Very good! Now let's move on to… “ she turned on the spots, an extravagant little twirl, and ended up with her microphone pointing to Theo’s favourite DM. “Miriam!”

• Just like in my hentai: Miriam's always loved the more obscure kinds of entertainment, and now she gets to live it! She'll feel a surge of pleasure whenever she notices that a transformation - her own or others’ - is in effect, and get a small discount on buying temporary transformations with BP. (Pervert)
• Let me help you out: Miriam is used to helping out undergrads with their English assignments, but now she'll be helping out her fellow contestants. Her already extensive theoretical knowledge of sexual matters will be supplemented by practical knowledge of seduction and courtship, and whenever her advice helps another contestant get sexual attention from Theo, she'll feel a commensurate surge of pleasure. (Tutor)
• Clothes make the woman: Miriam loves getting into character, and now she'll be even more comfortable in costume. She will get a wardrobe full of appropriately sexual costumes, but whenever she wears anything else, she will feel exposed and naked. This effect starts small but gets stronger the longer she is out of costume (Roleplayer)

https://strawpoll.com/Qrgew0xb2yp

“So, what do yo-” Ishtar started

“The first one. I like the first one best,” Miriam interjected. “If I'm **** to play this sick little game, a discount is the most useful. The second one doesn't help me much, and the third one… “ she shuddered. “The third one sounds extremely uncomfortable. If I got that one, I'd wish for you or Theo to veto it.”

“Ooh, a go-getter, already thinking about how to play - how interesting. I hope the rest of you are as proactive!”

She gave the girls a long, challenging look, then turned to Theo.

“And of course, you know what I'm about to ask, so…?”

“I think the second one is best,” Theo replied, giving Miriam an apologetic look “I don't want everyone fighting, and that's the only one that encourages cooperation. Miriam is right about the third one, though.”

“Well, you heard it here first, girls! The Master wants you all to work together to be his little sluts! Let's see if that matters for our next cont-”

“It's me, obviously,” said Nina, tired of the host’s constant showmanship. “You're doing them in order of introduction, so I'm next, then it's the cheerleader and the big-titted witch over there.”

“Oh spoilsport!” Replied Ishtar, stamping the ground like a little girl who lost her lollipop, Nina's transformations replacing Miriam's on the screen above her.

• Gracious loser: Nina's always been competitive, but she's never been good at accepting defeat, so let's help her out. From now on, whenever she loses in any competition - or anything she feels is a competition - she'll do her very best to be a good sport about it, and offer the winner a prize in the form of a favor - preferably sexual in nature. (Competitive)
• Sticks and stones may break my bones: But words hurt too! Nina's a massive masochist, emotionally as well as physically, but now the two are a lot closer. Whenever anyone uses a demeaning, degrading, or insulting term about Nina, or otherwise insults her, she will feel the sting physically, with worse insults - and harsher voices- translating to worse pain. Playfully calling her an asshole might be be a light swat on her ass, calling her a bitch and meaning it is a hard slap to the face, and more serious insults escalate from there. (Painslut)
• Loan shark: Nina's trying to get a good finance job, and now she gets a chance to make use of her financial skills. Whether she wants, she can borrow BP, using her own body as collateral. If she fails to pay the loan back with interest by the start of the next round, she will receive a temporary punishment transformation, with a severity depending on the loan. (Finance girl)

“So, what do you think, Nina? Which of these is your favourite, and which one would you want Theo to veto?”

Nina looked at the screen for a while - a long while, compared to the other girls, reading and reading the options in her head as the silence stretched on.

“I'm not answering that,” she said, finally. “I don't care what the perverts watching this show think, and I doubt I could sway them. Theo knows. He might be spineless, but he's not stupid.”

“That's a lot of trust you're putting in the ex you hate,” Ishtar replied. “Let's hope that plays out! Now, Theo-”

“I'm not saying either,” he replied, interrupting the beautiful goddess. He knew, of course. He had seen the squirming when Nina read the second option. She didn't want it, not really, but she would be drawn to it, to the pain, the humiliation, the degradation. He had known her long enough to see all the little signs of her arousal. But he also feared that it would break her, and no matter how much she'd hurt him, he did not want her to break.

“Closing ranks with your ex so quickly? How interesting,” said Ishtar, turning for a moment to wink at Joanna. “But no time to dwell on it! As dear Nina so cleverly pointed out, it's time for Chloe's transformations!”

• Centre of attention: Chloe has always preferred to be appreciated for her brains and her hard work over her body, but let's mix that up. From now on, whenever other people are admiring her body, she will feel a subtle sense of pleasure and arousal, getting stronger the more intent the admiration is. (Bimbo)
• Taking responsibility: As a philosophy student, Chloe is very familiar with the ethics of responsibility. From now on, whenever she knows another person has been aroused by her - intentionally or not - she will feel an urge to help them get off, feeling bad if she can't. This does not override her usual ethics, but grows stronger each time it triggers. Helping the victim indirectly does help, but it will not fully reset unless she uses her body to get another person off. (Ethical Gal)
• Sweet rewards: Chloe's never cared much what others thought - frankly, as a hot cheerleader, she's never had to. But that's about to change! Whenever she feels proud of an accomplishment, she won’t be truly satisfied unless Theo tells her that she did well, was a good girl, etc. This applies to every accomplishment, including romantic, sexual, etc. (Good Girl)

https://strawpoll.com/wAg3QPaA1y8

“So, Chloe - which of these options would you prefer, love?” asked Ishtar, giving Chloe a sickingly sweet smile.

The pretty teenager seemed overwhelmed by the choices, but beneath the shocked surface, her mind was racing. The thought of having to get Theo’s praise for her own accomplishments made her uneasy - especially the note about “romantic, sexual” accomplishments. If she and Jessica made out again, would she have to go and talk to Theo about it to feel satisfied? If she went on a great date with someone, would Theo have to call her a "good girl" before she really enjoyed it? She wasn't sure, but the thought of it scared her.

As for the other ones… she didn’t mind people admiring her body, but the “pleasure and arousal”... What would it do to her over time? Would she start preening to get noticed? Wear smaller skirts, lower necklines, show more cleavage? She trusted herself to put her self-respect over pleasure, but she did not think she was immune to basic conditioning.

“Daarling?” asked Ishtar. “We’re waiiiting.”

“They’re all terrible and cruel,” replied Chloe. “But the least terrible is the second one.”

Ishtar raised an eyebrow. "Really? You prefer that one? I’d have thought a sensible young woman like yourself would’ve hated to be made responsible for how men see you.”

“Maybe,” replied Chloe, the words coming out in a rush. “But it doesn’t override my sense of ethics, it says, and there are ‘stopgap measures’. I could manage it. Besides, it resets if I do help someone get off, so as long as I have someone I trust like that… Well. It’s not perfect. But it’s better than the others.”

She took a breath, and turned to Theo. “If I get the last one… please use your veto. I trust you, Theo, but… I don’t want to be dependent on anyone like that.”

She was pleading, and Theo recognised the fear in her eyes, but her voice was steady.

“And let's hear from the Master himself, then. Theo, which of these options do you think fits the pretty little cheerleader the best?” Asked Ishtar.

“I didn't think the first one was as bad as the others…” he started, a little hesitantly “but I trust Chloe to know what's best for her. “

“Such a trusting Master! Now, let's get to the last contestant, the little witch Jessica!”

• Whispers from beyond: As a witch, Jessica has spent a lot of time trying to commune with beings beyond physical reality, and now we're helping her! If she's in trance for any reason and is asked a question, there's a chance something else will speak through her, giving a truthful answer to the question, even if Jessica does not know the answer. The likelihood of an otherworldly answer increases the hornier Jessica is, and is practically guaranteed at the edge of orgasm. The answers are always truthful, but not always helpful. (Witch)
• For the points: Jessica enjoys helping “straight” girls discover new sides of themselves, and now she can do so for Theo's benefit. Any contestant with less VP than Jessica becomes open to the idea of being sexual with Jessica and Theo “for the points.” This effect is limited by the contestant’s sexual openness towards Theo - they will not do anything with Jessica “for the points” they would not do for Theo, at least as a result of this transformation. (Corruption)
• Anointed Priestess: As a pagan, Jessica worships many gods, but the most important one should be her Master’s cock. She will become highly aroused by the thought of Theo’s cock and cum, and any contact with his semen will be highly pleasurable, particularly on his skin. A facial is likely to make her cum on the spot. (Cock Worship)

https://strawpoll.com/61gD9RvmOZw

“So, quite exciting options, I think! What do you think, Jessica? Got a favorite?”

“The first one!,” replied Jessica, ecstatic. “Actual divination? Communion with the great beyond? Sure, I have to be horny for it to work, but…” She shrugged. “Small price to pay! And yes, I noticed that it needs someone else to ask, but…” Her eyes flickered to Jessica, then to Theo - and then, guiltily, to Joanna “Well, I’m sure someone might help me out,” she finished, but there was a guilty note to her voice, and a little of her enthusiasm had faded.

“I see - and which ones would you prefer not to get?”

“The… the second one, I think. I don’t like the third one either, I don’t want to be fantasising about my best friend’s BF… but at least that’s my problem to deal with. The second one hurts everyone with less VP than me. And…” she hesitated. “And if anyone wants to fuck me, I want it to be for me, not for points.”

“Well, Theo, you heard the girl - anything to add? Do you have other priorities?”

Theo hesitated. Jessica was clearly excited - more than excited, ecstatic, really - for the first one, but Theo did not like the sound of it. In fact, the more he thought about it, the more insidious it seemed. It could quite easily cause heartbreak on accident, and if used maliciously or rashly, it would be terrifying.

“I think… I think the first one is too risky. Many questions are best unasked, or taken on trust, and in the middle of bringing someone to orgasm is not the time anyone is the most clear-headed. Too much of a chance of invading people’s privacy - especially Jessica’s.”

“What a strange consideration, considering the show you’re on! Well, which one do you think would be best for her?,” the goddess-turned-showgirl asked.

“I…” he started, blushing. “I don’t like the third one, but she’s probably right that it’s the best one for her.” He was trying hard not to imagine the big-titted witch-girl on her knees, staring hungrily up at him, writhing and moaning in pleasure when he covered her face with cum.

He didn’t succeed, but at least he tried.

“Okay then! That’s all the options. Now, there’s just one last vote to do: the first POPULARITY POLL! There will be one every week, and your standings will be the primary way of getting XP”

Before the girls had time to process this, she turned towards seemingly empty air and winked.

“One week’s voting time, everyone! Don’t miss the deadline!”
