And here's your new chapter of the nemo games, at the beginning of each month, or a little later, the story will come back^^ I've made, in agreement with my great friend Mei, a modification for the votes. In order to prevent you from being spoiled, votes will now be cast via a strawpoll and the link put at the end of the story, so zero spoilers ^^ Now, I wish you a good read and see you on Saturday ^^.
__________________________________________________________________________
- N: Voting is over, so let's see who our lucky winner is.
The suspense was at its height, and after a few moments Delphin's name appeared on the screen.
- N: Delphin is our winner and he's finally going to become a beautiful woman.
- A: Yes, I knew I wasn't chosen.
- De: That's not possible!
- N: Yes it is, my dear, and you're going to be a beautiful nurse.
- N: Ladies and gentlemen, I'll leave you to make your offers.
- A: I'm curious to see how much you'll cost.
Nemo snapped his fingers and some men grabbed Antoine and carried him out of the room.
- A: Hey, I want to see what's going on.
- N: If you want to see, you'll have to go into the machine.
Antoine noticed that he wasn't joking and that his gaze was icy cold. He resisted no longer and left the room with the two guards who took him to another room.
- N: The bidding is over and Madame Rouge is the winner.
- Rouge: There's my new landlady.
- N: Exactly, my dear.
Nemo held out his hand and invited him into the machine, which he set in motion by adding Madame Rouge's special request, a request not subject to voting and reserved for the person who wins the auction. Delphin was terrified and his heart beat extremely fast, especially when he heard the machine start up. Her whole body changed to become a beautiful blonde woman in a sexy nurse's outfit, and when she stepped out of the machine, she felt different, but not as different as she'd thought.
She saw Nemo, holding out his hand to her to go out like a gentleman, and accepted the hand.
- De: Thank you very much.
- N: No problem, my lady.
She blushed, then he pointed to two men whom she followed without question, who took her up to Madame Rouge, she moved forward with a lump in her stomach wondering what was going to happen, she was stressed by this encounter. When she came face to face with her, she didn't know what to say, but Madame Rouge took the lead by hugging her, looking very warm, and then she felt some palpation to check that everything was in the right place.
Then they sat down on the sofa and talked for a while, Madame Rouge explaining that she'd given her free will, because she felt that for her future work, this was the best solution, she'd bought it to look after her elderly husband who was over 95 and needed a caregiver at his bedside 24 hours a day. Delphin understood why he still had all his wits about him and, above all, why he had a thorough knowledge of medicine, even though it was the subject he had hated most when he was at school.
So he knew what his new mistress expected of him and he was ready to perform his task like a good servant, it had to be said that he owed her a lot, he was still himself and he would be fed and whitened as long as she was useful to him, she put one knee to the ground and pledged her allegiance to him.
Meanwhile, the other players didn't know what was going on, as Antoine hadn't been taken to their room but to a separate one, where he could enjoy an evening on his own, a sort of bonus for having survived the vote, a kind of comfort test to put one of the two eliminated back on his feet. But this comfort soon passed, as the new challenge was about to begin, and all the participants were invited into a room with a poker table at its center.
- N: Welcome to all for this second round!
- N: Did you sleep well?
- D: Yes!
- S: There are worse nights.
- P: Yes.
- C: Tell me, is it normal to have more news from Antoine and Delphin?
- N: Oh, good question, unfortunately one of them hasn't had the chance to become a woman yet.
- M: And which is it?
- N: Are you looking forward to it?
Némo snapped his fingers and the doors opened, revealing Antoine who had arrived like a winner.
- A: Hi bitches, Daddy's back and don't think you're going to make me lose again.
No one answered him, everyone saw through his little provocation and wondered what game this second day was going to be about.
- A: You're not happy to see me, well, I'm not happy to see you either.
- M: You'd rather have become a woman.
- A: Mathias, I know you don't like me, but just so you know, you'll be on your knees before me.
- M: We'll see about that!
- N: Are you ready for a game of poker?
- S: Poker?
- N: Yes, Sasha, a game of Texas-Holdem poker.
- C: But it won't take long to decide the first two losers.
- N: You'd think so, but no, my young friend, because it's up to the winner to decide who gets to vote.
Everyone was surprised to discover the special rules for the second day, and all that it represented, the only way not to be selected was to win this poker game or create an alliance to make someone win who wouldn't choose an ally, but above all that the winner of this game might be the target of the next game, because he'd chosen two innocent people to spare his own. So many things were going on in the heads of the participants that they quietly took their places around the table, all scouring the same number of chips, and there was only one empty seat left, that of the croupier.
- N: You're all ready for this game of God's fire. Then I'll introduce you to your dealer, Madame Jinx.

A beautiful woman entered the room, a latex veil concealing her hair, an outfit that showed her off to best advantage, a mask that hid part of her face and gloves that went up to her elbows. She sat down, to the amazement of all the men, and began to play the cards with uncommon dexterity. Before they knew what was happening, she had cut and dealt the first hand of the game.
- N: Let the game begin!
The first few games were quiet , no one played for big sums, and when someone did, everyone went in all-in. Bets increased every half-hour, and it was only after the first two hours that the first person was eliminated. It was Julien who was the first to be eliminated; he had three of a kind, but it wasn't enough to beat the straight he was dealt after his all-in, so he left the table, but was allowed to watch the rest of the game.
The eliminations followed more swiftly, with David and Pierre eliminated at the same time, each having had a pair of jacks which, together with the three of a kind that came out thanks to the River, gave them each a full house, so they bet without restraint, unfortunately Sacha had a three, which made him a four of a kind that sealed their fate.
With only 6 left, Sacha stood out with twice as many chips as the runner-up, and people became more aggressive for the rest of the game. Antoine managed to destabilize Romain several times, causing him to fold even though he had a better hand, and what had to happen happened, Romain paid the bet and had to suffer the fate, he had a weak hand and was beaten by a single pair, but it wasn't until they were down to five that the game took off.
Antoine wanted to settle the score with Mathias, so he put the pressure on him with every hand. He could afford to, as he had more chips than he did - but something happened that saw Antoine and Mathias eliminated at the same time.
During a strong hand for Antoine, he let Mathias lead the game, which was the most reliable tactic for getting someone into trouble, but what he didn't know was that Mathias knew Sacha's game well and when he noticed that he was calling his bets, he went all-in which Antoine followed without question and when he showed the cards, he had to face the fact that Sacha's hand was the strongest and he had to fold and get out of the game.
- A: Bastard!
- M: Always so rude.
- A: You lost on purpose.
Mathias looked at him without saying a word and moved to a corner of the room to follow the rest of the game in silence.
The rest of the game wasn't very exciting, but Sacha managed to get the better of the last two opponents without too much difficulty, given that he only followed when he had a good hand, and after 1 hour's play, he emerged victorious from the second day.
- N: Well done to our champion.
Sacha was red-faced at having won, but his shyness was getting the better of him and he didn't dare answer.
- N: Well, I'm curious to know who the lucky voters are?
- S: I don't know yet.
- A: You'd better not choose me...
- C: Calm down, I'm sure he'll be impartial.
- A: Yeah, you really think they're impartial.
It was at this point that Sacha had an idea and, terrified of Nemo, he went over to Madame J to ask her if she had a die with more than one face. She gave him a twenty-sided die, and he explained that the people with the lowest score would unfortunately be selected for the vote.
He rolled the die for Antoine, who got 17, then David, who got 5, and continued in alphabetical order at the end, wondering who would be selected.
- N: Pierre and Julien, you can stay with me while the others leave the room.
- S: I'm sorry!
Everyone had left the room, and when Nemo asked them to say a few words about whether or not they'd been selected, the two young men did the same. They calmly introduced themselves and wished that their opponent hadn't been selected. A friendship had been born in this game, but unfortunately it wasn't going to last, as one of them was going to fall today.
- Magnificent duo, we'd eat them both.
- N: I'm sorry, Mr Green, but you know the rule is clear: only one person has faith.
- I have to admit it's a shame, we'd have made beautiful twins out of them.
- N: Mrs. Fox, there's nothing to stop you from making a beautiful bid, then waiting for the second bidder and then making a perfect copy of both.
- That would be fantastic, but I've got naughtier ideas.
The two young friends were surprised to attract interest in this way, but the tension was complete.
- J: We can proceed to the vote.
- N: Of course, my dear friend, avoid the disperse. When the vote is taken, either Pierre or Julien will win. Then there will be a second vote to determine whether she becomes a secretary, a nun or a superhero. Here's TIME to votes!
