Round 1 Day 1 - Sarah's Night

by OnAndOn_Anon

Chapter 22 in Harem Hotel

They hadn’t found anything useful in the rest of the afternoon, apart from confirming how many points Sarah had earned. It was a good start, and hopefully enough to keep her safe for at least a round, but Matt remembered the Host’s warning. Nobody would be able to reach 100 on ju...

Chapter 21 in Harem Hotel

The castle seemed to be equal parts luxury hotel, medieval castle, and nonsense. Matt and Sarah spent the morning wandering aimlessly, trying to puzzle together some sort of idea of the layout, but the vast labyrinth defied logic. While it was still morning, every window seemed t...

Chapter 20 in Harem Hotel

Scarlet’s energy left the room a few minutes after the Host herself, and once it had gone the remainder of breakfast was subdued and confused. Matt and Sarah put their surprise invitations away and ate while lost in their own heads. Poppy read through the contents of her envelope...

Chapter 19 in Harem Hotel

Matt found himself in darkness, with an uncomfortable pressure on his face. He grunted in discomfort, then again when he reached up to remove the obstacle only for something pointy to tumble off his arm and into his bare chest. A flailing hand met a hard leather cover, then the b...

Behind the Curtain

Chapter 18 in Harem Hotel

Deep in the bowels of the castle, where nobody would ever wander unintentionally, Scarlet let herself into her office and made sure the door was properly closed before allowing her facade to fall away. The cocky smile slipped from her face. Her eyes dimmed. Her shoulders sagged....

The First Night

Chapter 17 in Harem Hotel

After the heavy theming of the Contestant rooms, Matt hadn't been sure what to expect from the Master suite. Perhaps a different genre of story, like mysteries or superheroes, or maybe just ludicrous excess given the golden throne he had been thrust upon earlier. The reality was...

The Castle Tour

Chapter 16 in Harem Hotel

The group trooped out of the throne room in a loose line, Scarlet leading the way with cheerful abandon, apparently oblivious to the radioactive awkwardness trailing behind her. Max followed first, also seeming mostly immune, but then further back April had tried to walk besid...

The First Transformation Results

Chapter 15 in Harem Hotel

Scarlet carved a path through the thick tension that filled the air like a hot knife through butter, striding purposefully towards the foetal form of Chrissy as she tried in vain to hide herself in the wide open room. The Phoenix Host crouched down beside her, cocking her head to...

Chapter 14 in Harem Hotel

“With that entertaining distraction out of the way, we can finally move on to the transformation ceremony,” Scarlet said with a gleeful grin, “Ready to get things started, Master?” “Do I have a choice?” Matt asked with a sigh, resting his chin in his hands. “Glad to hear it...

Popularity Poll Results

Chapter 13 in Harem Hotel

“And the results are in!” Scarlet announced, completely out of nowhere as far as the people in the room were aware, “Let’s see who the Audience likes, and just how much they like them.” The orange feather quill swept through the air again, this time causing a rolling burst of fl...

Chapter 12 in Harem Hotel

Scarlet rolled her shoulders and cracked her back, smiling with satisfaction. The introduction ceremony was going really well so far, in her opinion at least. It felt good to be back in control of a new season, even if she couldn’t actually remember any of the other seasons she h...

The Bully

Chapter 11 in Harem Hotel

The fluorescent tubes lit the interior of the small corner shop in a flickering, soulless light that threw the scowl on Chrissy’s heavily-made-up face into stark relief, and cast her brown eyes in the shadow of her fake eyelashes. The middle-aged man on the other side of the coun...

Chapter 9 in Harem Hotel

Grace didn’t like being outside this late in the day, when the sun was low and the shadows were long and dark. The handles of the shopping bag cut into her fingers while her other hand was shoved deep into the pocket of the long and bulky hooded coat that she wore despite the war...

The Unknown

Chapter 8 in Harem Hotel

The timeline of the wedding flashed by in a series of perfect and imperfect moments, and Poppy worked on picking out a good mix of each to go into the final photo album. First, all the shots from her checklist: getting ready, the bridesmaids, the fathers of the brides, entering t...

The fitness class came to an end and the sweaty masses began to disperse, leaving just the instructor behind to make sure everything was put away and ready for the next time. Emma went through the routine without complaint, sorting the free weights back into the right order on th...

Chapter 6 in Harem Hotel

The driver had already been waiting outside for fifteen minutes, but Eleanor didn’t hurry as she made sure all her jewellery was right and her black hair was sitting perfectly straight down to the middle of her back. She’d put in her custom red contact lenses and spent ages doing...

The Colleague

Chapter 5 in Harem Hotel

The office was dark aside from the glow of a trio of monitors and quiet aside from the rapid clacking of a keyboard. Max stared into the lines of code with eyes the colour of grave dirt, and absentmindedly slurped at a milky coffee the same colour as her skin. The coffee mug made...
