You turn to Vivienne, whose Renaissance noblewoman avatar shimmers slightly as she registers your attention.
"Before we begin," you say, "I'd like you to explain the temporary transformation tokens you've created for tonight's losers."
Vivienne's holographic form steps closer to the gaming table, her voluptuous curves emphasized by the tight bodice of her period dress. "Of course, Mistress Jane. I've designed a unique set of transformation tokens that activate when a player loses all their clothing during gameplay. These tokens create temporary physical alterations that persist only while inside this room."
She waves her hand, and several glowing tokens materialize above the table, rotating slowly to display their designs.
"The first token creates cat ears and a tail," Vivienne explains, indicating a purple token with a feline silhouette. "The second manifests fairy wings that actually function for hovering a few feet off the ground." A blue token with delicate wing patterns spins gently. "The third creates a temporary mermaid tail when sitting, reverting to legs when standing." A green token with a scale pattern rotates next. "The fourth gives the recipient rabbit ears and enhanced jumping ability."
She continues through the collection, describing tokens that create temporary fox features, dragon horns and scales along the spine, wolf ears and enhanced senses, and even one that creates a temporary halo and small floating wings.
"And to clarify," you state, "the first person to lose all clothing still has to remain nude tomorrow, in addition to receiving a token penalty while in this room?"
"Precisely, Mistress Jane," Vivienne confirms with a respectful bow. "The traditional penalty remains in effect. Everyone else who loses their clothes simply receives a transformation token for the duration of their time in the game room."
Maxine claps her hands excitedly. "Oh, I hope I get the dragon one! I've always wanted to see how scales would look with my curves."
"Let's begin, shall we?" you say, reaching for your first Carcassonne tile.
The game commences with everyone drawing and placing tiles strategically. You observe your servants' playing styles with interest. Maxine proves surprisingly aggressive, quickly establishing territory near a monastery. Grayfia plays with mathematical precision, always calculating the optimal placement for maximum points. Commander Athena approaches the game like a military campaign, focusing on defensible positions and resource control.
Victoria, now comfortably dressed, plays with business-like efficiency, quietly building an empire of farms. Tina is more chaotic, placing tiles seemingly at random but occasionally making brilliant moves that catch everyone by surprise. The elven chef twins play as a coordinated unit despite the rules, subtly signaling each other with ear twitches.
You focus on building a strategic territory in the southeast quadrant of the board, placing a meeple to claim a substantial city. As the board expands, you notice Grace utilizing an empathic approach, placing her tiles in ways that complement rather than compete with others—except Victoria, whom she subtly blocks at every opportunity.
"Your strategy is quite fascinating, Mistress Jane," Melissa observes, adjusting her glasses as she analyzes your growing territory. "You're creating a defensible position while maximizing point potential."
"I prefer to build slowly but surely," you reply, placing another tile that extends your city. "Much like how I've built my empire."
The first round continues with intense concentration, the tokens glowing ominously at the edge of the table, waiting for their first recipient.
