"I know it's a problem, however they were once a person and cannot be exterminated that easily. The hotel's soul catcher revives them the next day. We are trying out best to contain them in the magical rooms. No the bites aren't cursed. You won't become a werebug. How do I know? I just guess you're going to have to take my word for it." The people at the front desk answered some of the complaints they received. Eventually Samantha put up a sign warning that complaining about bedbugs will result in disciplinary action.
Samantha saw Ryan aimlessly roaming the lobby and approached him. This was the sixth time he had seen Samantha, in memory at least. It was also the third time he had been at full size when speaking to her. She was actually quite short, Ryan guessed she was about an inch or two over five feet, when she wasn't wearing heels. "Ah Ryan, looking for your friends?" Samantha asked politely. Ryan nodded, not wanting to anger her in anyway. "I can tell you they haven't left the hotel yet. I believe they are in the conference hall getting involved with today's game. Don't worry it's a fun one, a magician is auditioning for assistants before his act tonight," Samantha informed him. "You should audition too, unless you'd like to go camping, I have a lovely lodge up in the lake past the old estates. It's to die for this time of month... No? Well you've still got just under two weeks left of this game so I'm sure you'll make it up there at some point." Samantha didn't need to wait for Ryan to respond, she could read his facial expression, and his surface thoughts. She waved him off as she went to attend to further business.
With nothing better to do, Ryan headed to the conference hall, where he saw the stage being set up, as well as a few chairs. It looked very much how it did when he was being auctioned off, just now the stage had large curtains out. Some of the front row seats were filled with people, while workers in their fifties were setting up more rows of chairs. Ryan didn't see the girls, just a man in a top hat and suit playing around with some props on stage. He turned to the audience when Ryan was about to take a seat.
"Here we go ladies and gentlemen, our next audition has arrived. Let's give a hand to Ryan." The Audience clapped and Ryan felt no choice but to go up on stage. "It's good to see you here Ryan," the Magician pulled out a stool from his sleeve and placed it on the stage and had Ryan sit on it. "Now I'm looking for a talented assistant, one that can keep the audience entertained, now tell me Ryan, how are your ventriloquist skills? Uh huh, I don't want you to tell me, I want you to show me," the magician pressed his finger to Ryan's lip before he could say anything as he got a stage hand to bring him a case. The magician unlatched the case and opened it, revealing a dummy version of Tammy, with soft hair and wooden skin. She was wearing red bikini, with fish net stockings and sparkling red shoes. "Now this dummy is designed a little differently," the magician explained as he slid Ryan's arm up a hole between her butt cheeks. Ryan felt his fingers touch a brain as an electrical current bound the brain and his fingertips together.
Tammy blinked, she was on stage where she had been forced to tell jokes, but the people in the audience had moved around. She felt uncomfortable as she felt something large and wide was currently up her butt. She turned to face Ryan and found that she was hanging off his arm. "Ryan why is your arm up my ass!?" She asked in her voice, causing the audience to laugh and clap.
"Tammy is that really you?" Ryan asked the wooden figure.
"Of course it's me, why wouldn't it be..." Tammy looked down at her body. "I'm a doll!" Tammy screamed.
"You're more of a dummy..." Ryan corrected.
"You're the dummy," Tammy slapped Ryan with her tiny wooden hands. "What were you thinking, sleeping with another woman! Ester is so pissed."
"I didn't want to, I was drunk and animal instincts took over," Ryan defended as he held held out his arm so Tammy was laying on her back. She was kicking and flailing trying to sit upright again.
It turned out Tammy had more control of Ryan's arm than he did, as she was able to make it shoot upright again. She adjusted her hair with her puppet arms and turned her head at an unbelievable angle to face Ryan, her mouth opened wide, as she wasn't able to express herself that well. "Wait you had sex with her as a cockroach?" Tammy clarified. "Eww!"
"Hold it... hold it..." The magician ran over to Ryan and Tammy. "This isn't working... hmm, what if I try switching you two around?"
"Yeah lets do that," Tammy nodded with her entire body. The magician pulled out his wand and zapped Ryan and Tammy, causing them to swap appearances. Tammy's wooden body now looked like Ryan's and Ryan now looked like Tammy, they had even swapped outfits. "This isn't what I had in mind..." Tammy said in Ryan's voice. The audience clapped and cheered.
Ryan looked down at his body, this wasn't the first time he had Tammy's breasts, and he had seem them bare before but still they were quite exposed and he had an audience.
"I bet you're loving this!" Tammy commented as she eyed off her old body. Though she was curious in how she looked as a doll, so she pulled her pants forward and looked down between her legs. "Completely smooth..." she announced not knowing why she did that.
"Oh yes this could work," the magician smiled as he swapped their appearances back. "Congratulations Ryan, you're my assistant for tonight's act," the magician grabbed Tammy and lifted her off Ryan's arm.
"Yeah lets do that," Tammy nodded with her entire body. The magician pulled out his wand and zapped Ryan and Tammy, causing them to swap appearances.

"Wait... I don't want to..." Tammy tried to plea as her eyes closed. The connection to her brain and Ryan's fingers had been severed and Tammy was lifeless once more. The magician placed her back in the case, latched it up and walked Ryan back stage, where Ester and Ruby were waiting.
Ester currently had a small round tail and long white fluffy ears sticking up off her head. She looked at Ryan as she ate a carrot with her buck teeth. She didn't look too pleased to see him. Ruby on the other hand was in three boxes that had been cut up and spread across the floor. She had a window where her face could peak out of but she too wasn't happy with Ryan.

Ryan, Ruby and Ester were left waiting for the magician, with Tammy locked away in a case elsewhere. Ryan was able to explain the situation about Rey to Ester and she accepted that he did nothing wrong. Ryan didn't get long with Ester as she gradually turned into a full rabbit and the magician took her away. Though he promised she would be safe. Ryan was instructed to reassemble the three boxes with Ruby inside them and given the key to unlock the box sections. Ruby came out of the box fully restored and Ryan could see that she was wearing a skimpy outfit, which showed off her belly. The two of them were left alone for the rest of the evening.
"So..." Ruby was quiet as she approached Ryan, she had a lot on her mind but didn't know where to begin. "You liked playing with Simone's hair?" She asked as she put her fingers through her bright red hair.
"What...? How did you know that...?" Ryan was lost for words.
"You told us when you were drunk, it's okay though I don't think Ester remembers. Tammy probably doesn't care. I'm more interested in the thing you said afterwards," Ruby confessed. Ryan was drawing a blank as his face went red. "You wanted me to give you my hair in exchange for your... well I've had it before."
Ryan looked away as he blushed. He was curious as to why Ruby would bring this up. He looked back at her again, she was purposely playing with her hair now. Ryan admitted to himself that, while Tammy had the better looking figure, with the largest breasts and a more round butt and he loved Ester, Ruby was the one who looked the most physically appealing to him. She had a cheeky smile and green eyes like emeralds and her fiery red hair, even though dyed, looked more vibrant than Ester's blonde or Tammy's darker red hair. "You would make that swap wouldn't you?" Ryan realized. "Not because you want my shorter hair, but because you want a penis. You want to be a man?"
"No! Well kinda, I mean it was weird having yours for the first day and a bit but I don't know, after I was possessed and I slept with those women... I guess it awakened something inside me. I still want these," Ruby gestured to her breasts. "But I guess I want to be a girl with a dick. That's what I was when I was a painting and I was happy that day."
"Why are you telling me this? Have you told Ester and Tammy?" Ryan questioned.
"Not yet, you're the only one I've told, I guess that's because I had yours. I felt guilty using it and enjoying it, even when I wasn't in control. But when you offered to trade, even though you were drunk, it meant a lot to me. That not only would you give it up but that I had something you were jealous of."
"Hang on, it's not something I would trade," Ryan waved his hands in refusal. "I keep losing it though," he wasn't sure why he admitted that.
"I'm not saying you do..." Rub sat down on the floor with her back to Ryan. "Just we're alone at the moment and if you want to, you can play with my hair." Ryan hesitated for a while but he eventually sat down behind Ruby and began to run his fingers through her hair, before attempting and failing to braid it. "This can be our secret."
The lights in the conference room were turned off so only parts of the stage were lit up. Ryan stood behind the curtain holding the case with Tammy in it by his side. He was dressed in a fine suit, with his hair brushed neatly. His 'ventriloquist act' was to be the opener for the show and given what happened in his 'audition' he knew how it was going to end. Still there were worse things Ryan had experienced and he had been a girl more than once, so he wasn't going to back down now, especially if it meant experiencing something worse. As soon as the magician told him to go he walked to the stool with the case at his side. He unlatched it and pulled out an immobile, wooden Tammy. He slid his arm up her ass and felt the electrical connection between his fingertips and her brain. Tammy blinked as she came alive again.
"So..." Ruby was quiet as she approached Ryan, she had a lot on her mind but didn't know where to begin. "You liked playing with Simone's hair?" She asked as she put her fingers through her bright red hair.
"What...? How did you know that...?" Ryan was lost for words.

"What...? Where am I...?" Tammy said as she came to life and turned her head in a very puppet like way. "Oh it's you... care to explain why your arm is up my ass?" Tammy and Ryan had rehearsed a little bit of the act before coming out.
"Well if it wasn't up there, you wouldn't be able to talk, but if you'd prefer I could always take you off and put you back in your case." Ryan threatened.
"No, no, this is fine. Though you're a real pain in my ass," Tammy retorted.
"You can't feel pain," Ryan twisted Tammy's head around, several times he then pulled off Tammy's legs.
"Hey stop that!" Tammy slapped into Ryan. "I need those."
"What for? You can't walk, I control where you go," Ryan moved his arm around.
"I like the shoes, they go with my outfit," Tammy explained as she moved Ryan's arm back to it's starting position. She snatched her legs and put each one back on. "Besides who said I can't go anywhere?" Tammy asked. "I just can't go anywhere without you," Tammy jumped off Ryan's lap and stood up on her own feet, forcing Ryan to lean at an awkward angle. He hadn't practiced this part, so didn't know she could do this. "Watch me run." Tammy's tiny legs bolted, making Ryan fall off the stool as she dragged him across the stage. Tammy only stopped when the magician stood in front of her.
"Now Tammy, that's no way to treat Ryan," the magician stated as he pulled out his wand. Ryan managed to regain his balance and stood up. "How would you feel if you were in his position?"
"Pretty alive, I guess," Tammy turned her head to look at Ryan and then back to the magician. "Oh please say you're going to swap us. I'd love to be human..." Tammy neglected to say the word again, even though she wanted to.
"Oh that's not what I had in mind," the magician smiled as he zapped the two of them, like he did before. Tammy was now a wooden version of Ryan, and her hair was hard this time. While Ryan had taken Tammy's form, heels and skimpy outfit included.
"You couldn't even let me have a dick?" Tammy asked looking down her pants. "I'm the same as before, just less beautiful!" Ryan couldn't help but wonder if Tammy would turn out like Ruby had she been given his dick.
"I think you've been quite naughty, time to go back in your box," the magician waved his wand and Tammy separated from Ryan's arm and went flying back into the box, it latched and the case slid behind the curtains. Ryan suspected that would be the last time he saw Tammy tonight. "Sorry I had to do that Ryan... or should I say Tammy?" the magician asked as he took his hand and walked him back to the center of the stage. "I guess it works out better this way, at least now I have a hot young woman assisting me instead." He gave Ryan a smile. "Now can you go get my saws?" Ryan began to walk off stage, he found it weird walking in high heels but his body was used to it. The magician slapped his ass as he walked off.
Off to the side, Ryan found a saw with serrated edges and brought them out to the magician, who had 'selected' Ruby from the audience and had her in a box. The magician took the saw off Ryan and held it over Ruby's neck, sticking outside the box. "Now don't worry this won't hurt a bit," the magician assured Ruby as he began slicing. As soon as he did though, blood splattered upwards and Ruby let out a chilling scream as her head was separated from her body. The magician looked back at Ryan as he picked up Ruby's head from the blood pool on the floor.
"Did it work?" Ruby asked causing the audience to relax. The magician passed Ruby off to Ryan as he examined his blades.
"Well technically yes, but my assistant grabbed the wrong blades. I hope you like not having a body, as this saw make the cut permanent."
"That was the only saw available," Ryan defended as he was instructed to do if the magician mentioned the wrong saw.
"What do you mean? I had a set with flat edges, they should've been..." two blades fell out of the magician's sleeve. "Oops I had them on me the entire time. Anyway, you go wheel this off and clean up the head." The magician instructed as he magically wiped the blood off the stage. Ryan put Ruby's head on the box with her body and wheeled her backstage. "Now I need to find a new volunteer, but no one is going to trust me now. I guess I'll have to pull one out of a hat." Ryan turned back to see the magician pulling Ester as a rabbit out of his top hat.
"Is that really you Ryan?" Ruby asked as Ryan took her to the sink, he wasn't needed for now so went to care for Ruby. "You were right about not being able to keep your dick." Ryan blushed slightly as he washed Ruby down. "Woah, you can see my spine and throat," she commented looked at where her head was separated from her body. "Is it like that underneath my neck?" Ryan tipped her head upwards.
"Yep," he admitted before he finished cleaning her up and placed a towel for her to sit and dry on. He then walked over to the curtain and watched as the magician played around with Ester. He treated he like a bunny as he guided he into the mismade box using a carrot, once she was inside, he closed the box on her and cut her into three different parts, he placed the boxes on the floor and opened each one of them up as a bunny came out of each box. He then encouraged them back into his hat.
Ryan was called to return to the stage as the magician was done with his performance. The magician took Ryan's arm and raised it into the air, then forced him to take a bow. He almost thought Tammy's boobs were going to fall out of his bikini, given how low he was bowing. The magician then turned around with Ryan as they stepped into a mirror frame together, only the magician vanished when they went through and Ryan hit a wall. He shook his head as the wall now mirrored what was behind him, just without any of the people. He put his hands up and found himself to be in a small box, just as tall as he was. Ryan turned around as he heard a tap on the glass and he saw the magician on stage in front of the audience. The magician was saying something but Ryan couldn't hear a thing. He lifted up the box holding Ryan, which through him off balance as the background changed. Ryan was placed up against a wall, where Ruby was watching him. He was trapped in a mirror, he knew it, only he didn't have much room to move around. He was stuck like this for the rest of the night, and was forced to go to sleep sitting against the wall.
"Well if it wasn't up there, you wouldn't be able to talk, but if you'd prefer I could always take you off and put you back in your case." Ryan threatened.
"No, no, this is fine. Though you're a real pain in my ass," Tammy retorted.
