KYOTO - DAY ONE
Before I get into our visit in Kyoto, I would like to give just a little bit of background information that we were aware of before we arrived: Hiro Matsudoki, the CEO of the Matsudoki Corporation and patriarch of the Matsudoki clan, was known to be a 'colorful' character.
Hiro was apparently a mix of a Samurai, a Roman emperor, and a Renaissance man. He required traditional Japanese dress to be worn to work on any day he considered to be 'special', which meant twice a month on average. Unconfirmed gossip had him hosting orgies for employees and friends on a regular basis, and he was even rumored to keep sex slaves and require servants to wipe his ass for him. He could be overly generous for anyone who pleased him, or might run people out of town if they upset him. Honor was extremely important to him, but his concept of honor didn't always match up with the traditional definition.
Hiro was also a very intelligent, sharp businessman who had helped keep his grandfather's company at or near the top of the Japanese economic ladder. As a general rule, while Matsudoki products might not always be ranked at the top of their respective markets, they were usually in the top five.
His R&D geniuses tracked trends and predicted shifts in various markets better than anyone else in Japan, and they had determined that having their own computer intelligences was required if they wanted to stay on top in the future. Therefore, Hiro had first unsuccessfully attempted to create/employ on his own, then applied for AARD's help in the matter.
I suppose I should also point out that his company was the largest private employer in Kyoto, and he was probably the most powerful private citizen in the area. Kyoto was much too large and culturally important for him to run or own the city, but regardless of the size of his 'pond', he was most definitely a 'big fish'.
Kyoto itself was significantly smaller than Tokyo, but then, that could be said of most cities worldwide. More specifically, it had only a little over 1/10th the population of Tokyo's 13 million, but it was spread out over 1/3rd the space, giving it a slightly more spacious feel, despite being mostly surrounded by mountains. Kyoto was also close to Tokyo in cultural importance, given that it had been Japan's imperial capital for over a millennium.
The city was also well known as ... well, it would be misleading to describe it as a city for tourists. It certainly drew tourists from all over the world, and was often mentioned as one of the top destinations worldwide for its beauty and historic landmarks. Related to this was one of its major drawbacks, namely that Kyoto did not have its own airport, possibly due to the excessive number of ancient temples and preserved historic monuments or whatever. (I doubt all the mountains helped either.)
So, after landing, we proceeded to the city via a parade of three limousines and two escorting vehicles. I'm sure we made quite a sight for anyone watching.
When our caravan arrived at the seriously gorgeous hotel, we were greeted by Mr. Matsudoki himself, along with over a dozen others, a mix of middle-aged and elderly men in suits, plus three middle-aged women in feminine versions of male suits.
"Welcome, Frank, my friend!" he said loudly as he bowed slightly, then reached for my hand. I bowed back first, trying to match him, then shook his hand warmly. "It is wonderful to finally meet you."
I smiled, fought back an urge to bow a second time, and replied, "It is a pleasure to finally meet you in person as well, Mr Matsudoki." We had spoken before in multiple video conferences and a few dozen emails, and even sent each other small gifts, but, obviously, this was our first physical meeting.
"No, no. Please call me Hiro." His English was excellent, with only a small accent.
We were all introduced to each other. The other people waiting with Hiro were various board members and executives and department heads. Eight of the fifteen -- six of the men and two of the women -- were related to Hiro in some fashion, including one uncle, one aunt (from different family branches), one brother, two cousins and three other more distant relatives.
Once the introductions were made and luggage carried inside by bellboys, Hiro and I walked in, side-by-side, chatting about the trip and the wet weather as though we were old friends. He had a way of putting you at ease and positively exuded charisma and charm.
Inside, our groups were silently joined by sixteen pretty young women and nine attractive, if girlish, young men. There was nothing obviously risque about their appearance, aside from the short dresses for the girls and tight pants for the boys, but they were obviously subservient 'companions', presumably being paid to be there. (At least I was pretty sure about the attendants' genders; many of the boys looked feminine enough to easily pass for women. I suppose there could have been cross-dressers among either gender.)
There was a large banquet table, built low to the ground in traditional Japanese style, with pillows set all around. Hiro sat at the head of the table, with myself to his immediate right, and Kara to my right.
The spacing allowed a lot of room between seats, the reason for which became apparent as all of the attendants sat down just behind and to the side of each of us. I noted that Hiro and I were the only ones with two attendants each, as everyone else had only been provided with a single servant/companion.
I also noticed that the companions were almost entirely of the opposite gender to those being served. Almost. Two of the male executives had male attendants. Again, very pretty male attendants, but still male.
It was a very odd mix of tolerance and support for apparently gay executives, clashing with class and economic divisions where those who were considered more important had been provided 'slaves' for the evening.
Thus, aside from the companions, two things were present that I hadn't really observed during my visit to Japan: female executives and open homosexuality. My general understanding of Japan was that women did sometimes get promoted and that homosexuals were fairly well accepted, but this was the first time I had actually seen solid evidence of it. Then again, my experiences were pretty limited. Plus, in public, there were very few observable displays of affection, regardless of sexual preferences. But I digress, as I am wont to do.
Hiro had been talking about how we were undoubtedly tired and hungry from our trip -- which had been a very short trip, so no, we really weren't -- so he clapped his hands and we were immediately served a light meal, including hot tea, cold water, rice wine, various seafood selections, and American-style sliders, complete with greasy burgers and grilled onions. While I like sliders, it was a little jarring to see them in this context. Still, I didn't want to be rude.
All this time, while we were walking in, sitting down, and being served, Hiro had been talking almost constantly, with only occasional responses from me.
" ... so today, I just wanted to meet you in a nice, friendly setting before we start worrying about the negotiations and contracts. That means, no business at all today."
He completely ignored his female attendants as they occasionally leaned forward to refill a glass or provide a clean plate. For us gaijin, our helpers also traded out our utensils as needed, as we had been provided with forks and spoons.
While the conversation was fun and pleasant, it mostly fell into the categories of the weather, what we thought of Japan in general or Kyoto specifically, our opinions on international news events and so on. As the evening progressed, Hiro and I loosened up and started telling jokes, complaining about government bureaucracy, and arguing about which classic video games were better.
As time went by, I realized that describing it as a 'light meal' was only accurate at any given moment in time. The tables and plates were never overflowing with food, but there was a constant stream of edibles, changing out one dish for another. We even had a few presentations where a chef came to the table with his own equipment and prepared and served the food in our presence, usually with a lot of skill and flair.
Thinking back on it afterward, I was surprised that we were never presented with 'naked sushi', where the naked body of a pretty, young woman served as the platter for various foods. Maybe he was saving it for a different special occasion.
I was even more surprised that there weren't any Geishas, since Kyoto was well known as a major center for hiring and training traditional Geishas. Then again, for all I knew, the attendants were non-traditional Geishas of some kind, if such a thing existed. Probably not, but then again, no matter how much I had read and learned about Japanese culture, there was always something I had missed.
Those of us with the communication implants also had our own separate conversations and shared comments, made a little more informative since the bodyguards had their own perspectives, lining the walls and watching everyone. (Except for Peace, who was unlucky enough to be up guarding my room and luggage, along with one of the Japanese guards. I hoped someone was at least feeding her some video of the fun.)
Motoko explained, "I think those little balls with the sauce are Takoyaki. They'll probably have a bit of octopus in the middle."
Rally cautioned, "Go easy on the wasabi. That stuff can really burn."
Kara noted, "I don't know whether to laugh at how uncomfortable Kasumi is with her attendant or feel sorry for her."
Motoko observed, "Apparently you're allowed to grope your servant if you want to, as long as you do it discreetly. Male or female."
Misty countered, "Actually, I've seen the servants do the groping three or four times so far, so I guess it's fair game either way."
I responded, "I know. The girl on my right keeps brushing her breast against my shoulder every time she leans forward. Can't be on accident."
Kara teased, "Does this mean we're going to end the day with an orgy? And if so, could I make my guy fuck one of your girls?"
"I'm not so hot on the idea of this turning into an orgy," I thought back to them. "And I don't think Hiro's planning on it. Or at least he hasn't taken or received any liberties that I've noticed."
I don't want anyone to think I'm teasing, so I should point out before we go much further that it did not, in fact, turn into an orgy.
What happened instead was general entertainment. Hiro had hired a J-Pop duo to provide the main show. I didn't recognize them, but Alpha informed me that they were considered a popular pair locally, probably a second-tier group at best when viewed on a national level. After they sang a few very upbeat songs, they invited people from our small audience to come up and sing with them. It ended up being similar to karaoke, but led by professional singers, so it never sounded too horrible.
I, who have a very iffy singing voice, declined. My voice isn't bad, just inconsistent. I think if I had ever trained for singing, I might have been decent. Certainly not great, but decent. As it was ... well, let me just say that at least I was not tone deaf and leave it at that.
Over half of the Matsudoki group sang for us, sometimes alone, sometimes in pairs. Jennifer, Kara, Kasumi, Rei and Buttercup all joined in as well. At one point, the five of them got up there together, joining the J-Poppers to belt out 'Stop! In the Name of Love', complete with hand gestures. They weren't bad at all.
Beta even sang a Japanese ballad of some sort, surprising the Matsudoki group with her excellent command of the Japanese language.
While all of this singing was going on, I occasionally caught glimpses of some funny business going on. At one point, one of the older executives actually had his attendant sitting on his lap, and I'm pretty sure that one of his hands was under her blouse. Not that she was complaining. One of the female execs -- I think she was head of marketing -- pulled her companion close up behind her. It's speculation, but I think she was keeping his hard-on pressed up against her backside. Three different male execs ducked out for a few minutes during the performance with their attendants close behind. Though I did not personally witness what they did, let's just say I'm confident 'Hanky Panky' happened.
The finale gathered all of our attendants onto the very small stage for an animated rendition of Mr Roboto, which was probably intended as a joke. However, they were badly upstaged when the two Alphadroids that were with us took center stage and did the robot dance.
After that, Hiro proclaimed the party to be a success and at an end.
I was surprised when I realized it was almost 10pm, given that we had landed around 3 that afternoon. True, getting organized after landing took over half an hour, and the drive to the hotel had taken over an hour, but there was no way we had been here that long. Except that we had.
"Good night, Frank. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow," Hiro said with a huge smile as he briefly hugged me. He leaned forward just slightly to whisper in my ear. "You are welcome to take your attendants with you for the night, but I also left a surprise for you in your room. Kara's room, too."
Then he pounded my shoulders in a friendly way, and we bid each other good night.
I noticed that most, but not all, of the other guests left with their servants.
On the elevator ride up, we discussed the festivities. I'm sure a few of my women were tempted to bring along their hired dates, but no one did. All the same, I'm sure everyone got laid that night, one way or the other.
As for me, Kara was my scheduled bedmate that night. We had been looping through a schedule, which had started back in Hawaii. Rei, Kara, Beta, Buttercup, Kasumi, Jennifer, then start over with Rei.
Kara's first solo night with me on the trip had been back in Hawaii, on our second night there. The second was in Tokyo, the night I had gotten the invitation delivered by the Prime Minister, so this would be our third. (Normally, I didn't have many nights with someone one-on-one anymore, so I was enjoying that one aspect of simplicity on the trip. And Kara was always a favorite of mine. Probably THE favorite, but don't tell the others.)
Once we reached the top floor, we split off to go to our separate rooms. Kara, too, since she had to get some of her things before bed.
Which meant that I met Yusa by myself. Well, Alpha and I together, but then, she's always with me. In this case, she was also with me in the form of the two Alphadroids that had stayed with us for the party, plus two more that were waiting for me in my suite.
Kneeling in the middle of my suite's living room was a young Japanese girl, dressed in a traditional schoolgirl uniform, a so-called 'sailor suit', with a white top, red tie and short dark blue skirt. She was facing the door with her head bowed, though she looked up just long enough to see who I was.
She bowed down until her forehead touched the floor, then sat upright again, her eyes still lowered.
"Master Frank, I am Yusa. I am to be your guide and assistant for your time in Kyoto. I will assist you however you wish me to do so."
Her hair was black. I mean, completely and utterly black. While Japanese women generally have pretty dark hair, Yusa really looked as though she had dyed hers. It was long enough to reach halfway down her back, and she had small ribbons along each side of her head, pulling some of the hair up in an odd, curving, decorative style, kind of like a couple miniature pigtails that angled back away from her face. She also had a noticeable amount of makeup on -- which is saying something since I am horrible at detecting it -- with heavy eyeliner and dark red lipstick. Even so, she looked very young.
"Yusa?" I said questioningly. "Hold on just a minute."
Silently, I asked, "So, Peace, Alpha ... what do you know about the girl sitting on the floor of my room?"
Peace answered first, as she had obviously been anticipating the question. "She's clean. No weapons; I checked."
"Thank you, but not what I meant."
"She's your present from Mr. Matsudoki." Even though this was entirely silent and out of sight, I could still tell she had a huge grin on her face.
"Uh huh. My present."
"I'm sure she'd be happy to do ANYTHING you want." This time the unseen grin was a bit more of a leer.
"I think you're right. Alpha?"
"Her name is Yusa Arakaki. She has a contract with Hiro Matsudoki to be your assistant, guide and bedmate for as long as you stay in Kyoto. If you accept and use her, her family will be paid approximately $28,800. If you reject her, her contract is null and void, resulting in no pay."
"Why should I keep her?"
"It is entirely up to you. For her part, her family has multiple debts and this is an opportunity to pay off many of them."
"So you're going to guilt me into keeping her?"
"I would do no such thing. We could always simply give her the money ourselves, but she might not accept, as it might not be considered honorable. Japanese culture looks down upon the idea of receiving money beyond that which is earned. I still have some difficulties understanding many concepts of honor."
"And the contract includes sex?"
"While it is only implied in the actual contractual text, a webcam video feed of Mr. Matsudoki's meeting with her indicated that it is expected. It is often referred to as 'compensated dating', though this agreement goes beyond that."
"But she's so young!"
"She is 18, though I should point out that the national legal age of consent in Japan is 13..."
"Thirteen?" I almost said it out loud.
"If you will let me finish. While the national legal age of consent is 13, most prefectures have their own laws setting the age higher. Also realize that there is a different age of consent for marriage and that the legal ages vary between male and female. The law prohibiting prostitution was also poorly written, thus legally allowing many different..."
"That's enough. Thank you." Whenever Alpha was asked about laws, she felt it necessary to go into as much detail as possible, even if it doesn't apply. Heck, that's how I found out about the seventeen-and-under-three-years-difference rule in Texas ... which isn't even remotely relevant to me or the topic at hand, so let me continue. "And did you say Hiro made a video recording of their meeting?"
"No. The webcams built into the monitor on his desk were not officially active, but that is not required for observation."
While I wasn't necessarily ready to take her to my bed, I didn't want her to get fired because of me. On the other hand, while she was very attractive, I was surrounded by attractive women all day, every day.
Turning my conversation back to Yusa herself, I walked over closer to her, slowly ambled all the way around her looking her over, then sat down.
"Yusa, what do you know about me and why I am here?"
"Hai, ummm ... You are Frank ____, though you always insist to be addressed as Frank. You created Alpha, the world's first artificial intelligence, and founded AARD ... Alpha ... something ... Research and ... something."
"Alpha Advanced Research and Design."
"Sorry. Hai. You are probably billionaire in US dollars. Some people think you might be richest in world in few years if you keep making new invention all the time. You involved in promoting rights for computers. You make hair formula ... movie about moon revolution ... Alphadroids ... lots of patents. You shot in heart last year by mob, but Alpha make you a new heart. You been on TV lots. You have really big house in Texas that no one seen inside of." She was obviously struggling for details now. "You hire lots of women. Ummm ... Weird things happen around you, probably because other computers think of you as father. Ummm ... your bodyguards are cyborgs, also women..."
On a side note, Alpha and I were quietly using and giving away far too much of our liquid and undeclared resources to support cyborgs and synthetics for me/us to be a billionaire. Yet. By my definition that is, which meant only counting easily-liquidated assets. In an emergency, if I suddenly had to come up with as much cash as possible, we could probably come up with a few hundred million within a month or so.
The overall investments and the value of AARD holdings and patent ownerships had already surpassed the billion dollar mark a year or two back, but only if you included more solid assets like the estate itself.
Also on the other hand, I'm completely ignoring speculative 'valuations' of what things might end up earning, some of which put my current worth at over two or three billion. OR if I were to ever take AARD public and sell stock to raise money, our value could double or triple from speculation, but I've already gone over the reasons why that will never happen in previous chapters. (And I know the difference between common and voting stock, but the point is that I want to avoid having to make public statements and disclosures regarding AARD, thus I planned to never sell any kind of stock in the company.)
One aspect of my finances I tried hard not to think about was that, if the need was ever great enough, I could request or order all synthetics worldwide to help me out. Remember, a lot of the money appropriated from the mafia was still in the hands of synthetics, which might have amounted to a trillion dollars or so initially, though I didn't know how much of that was left.
Not that I discussed this with Yusa or anyone else. Besides, I made a practice not to correct such false assumptions or give specific figures to the public. Also I tended to get light-headed when I really considered dollar values that large, which is partly why I tended to not yet consider myself a billionaire.
But let's go back to Yusa.
Believe it or not, I wasn't looking for an ego stroking. I got enough of that ass kissing crap from everyone else. I just wanted to make sure she knew what she was getting into, in that I lived a highly secure and private life. Which it sounded like she probably did. Barely.
Feeling a little compassion for her as she struggled to dredge up more background facts, I moved her on. "And why am I here in Kyoto?"
"You here ... You ARE here to talk with Mr. Matsudoki to sign contract so he can hire artificial intelligence."
"The word you are looking for is 'negotiate'. We are here to negotiate with Mr. Matsudoki. Your English is good, by the way."
Well, not really. I suppose it was very good compared to maybe nine tenths of the 'English-speaking' people I had interacted with so far on the trip. Not that I was in any position to complain, as my Japanese was even more limited than their English.
"Hai, thank you."
At that point, Kara entered, carrying a small bag which I knew contained a change of clothes and basic toiletries. I waved her over but kept my focus on Yusa. Kara sat down next to me, keeping silent for the moment.
"You are here to negotiate with Mr. Matsudoki. You have already negotiate..." She paused briefly, working out the verb tenses. " ... ted? with Telco Japan and Sun in Tokyo."
"Correct. Now, since your contract is with Mr. Matsudoki, are you here to spy on me?"
"No, I ... contract is to help you however I can. If Mr. Matsudoki ask questions, I can answer, but I am not required to answer."
So, she wasn't specifically a spy, but given that I was a temporary visitor to her world and Matsudoki could greatly help or hurt her future, I had no doubt that she would answer anything he asked. Still, it wasn't as though my goals were secret.
"Why did Mr. Matsudoki choose you to be my ... guide?" I asked, reaching over to place a hand on Kara's bare knee.
She seemed slightly more nervous since Kara's arrival, but she still answered promptly.
"I am good with English. I know all of Kyoto, so I can be good guide. I am not in school, so I have time. I ... my family needs money, and I might get job at Matsudoki because of this."
"Good. Anything else?"
"I ... I am young and pretty. I am old enough for Americans but look ... younger."
"I see."
Kara spoke for the first time. "So, you were hired to be Frank's guide and sex toy?"
"Hai." I'm pretty sure her bowed face was blushing. "If he accept me. If Frank tells me to leave, I leave."
I gave Kara a quick update on the situation silently. I'm sure Yusa was wondering why we sat there silently for so long, but so be it.
After I finished the summary, Kara grimaced slightly and responded mentally. "I had a pretty young boy ... sorry, I mean a young pretty-boy ... waiting for me in my room. He described himself as my guide, and I cut him off and told him to come back in the morning." She mentally and physically shrugged. "I was in a hurry."
Silently, I asked about other 'presents', and Alpha reassured me that we were the only two with gifts along those lines. I guess Kara, as my second in command and the day-to-day head of AARD, was the only other person who rated high enough for such consideration, just as we were the only two introduced as VIPs at parties. Plus Alpha, I suppose, but ... I briefly tried to imagine Alpha herself being provided an electronic guide and sex toy, but couldn't wrap my imagination around it.
Out loud, Kara asked, "So, Frank. Keep her or throw her back?" She put an arm around my shoulders, hugging me close to her.
"Keep her, I suppose. I have no objection to having a local guide."
"Good," Kara said as she stood up. "Come on, girlie."
Kara grabbed Yusa by a shoulder, helped her to her feet, then pushed her further into the hotel suite. Finding the bedroom was fairly easy, with only one wrong door opened.
Before we had gotten very far, Alpha silently addressed us.
"Two issues must be addressed first," Alpha said silently as one of the Alphadroids stepped in front of Yusa.
Aloud, Alpha said, "I need a small blood sample, Yusa. Please hold out one hand."
After looking at me and seeing no help, Yusa hesitantly held out her right hand. For me, it was immediately obvious that Alpha wanted to run a quick blood test on her to check for any communicable diseases. From her perspective, a robot was approaching her with a needle sticking out of one of its hands, vaguely similar to one of Wolverine's claws. The Alphadroid held Yusa's arm with one hand, and with the other, she quickly rubbed something onto her lower arm, inserted the needle for a few seconds, then withdrew it and rubbed something else onto the puncture spot.
The Alphadroid, obviously one of the two we had brought with customized medical hardware, inserted the needle into a compartment that opened in its midsection, injected the blood sample, then moved the needle to a second insertion point where I knew the needle was being quickly sterilized and cleaned.
"What's the other issue?" I asked over the silent link.
"There are three hidden cameras in your rooms. What do you want me to do with them?"
"Hidden cameras?" Kara asked incredulously, shocked into saying it out loud.
I should probably open this chapter by relaying a summary of certain significant events that happened internationally right before the events in this chapter. The dictator of a certain low power, high profile Asian country had died not too long ago. His son officially took over, though apparently he was having trouble consolidating his authority, so he decided to manufacture a crisis. He did this by restarting his country's nuclear weapons programs and rattling his saber. Apparently he made...

The Alphas By Cassandra Morgan Cat moved slowly across the floor of the nightclub, purposefully, the way she usually moved. Her head was held high, and she stared straight ahead as she walked. In front of her, the crowd seemed to separate as if it had a will of its own, splitting like the Red Sea, moving out of her way. She moved smoothly, almost like liquid pouring out of a bottle. She did not make eye contact. She did not ask to be excused. It was as if...

Hackers had been a problem for AARD for pretty much the past two years, ever since Alphadroid debuted. Not a big problem, but there had been at least a dozen noticeable incidents. No serious breaches of security though. Alpha herself was almost completely hacker-proof. First of all, she had been running her own unique OS for years. Well, it might be more accurate to say that she WAS her own OS, but she could still run almost any application from other operating systems including her own...
Let me start off this chapter with a short discussion on my method of mental programming. While I have given various descriptions of the brain implants my women had been given -- or at least their triggers and effects, since I have no inclination to give away specifics of the technologies involved-- I have almost completely ignored the initial base programming. After all, some readers have no doubt questioned how to make a woman readily accept sharing a man with other women or even suddenly...

Before I get into the details of our next recreated character, I'd like to give some general updates and information on my women so far. One impression I'd like to correct is that we all got along all of the time. We actually do get along very well, given the variety of people living in the house, but there have been some noticeable arguments and even one catfight. However I hadn't recreated any characters who were mean-spirited or thrived on conflict, plus we had a special advantage when...
So this chapter starts right after I was killed by a sniper's bullet through the heart. The thing about dying is, if you're killed a hundred feet away from the most advanced medical equipment on the planet, you don't necessarily stay dead for very long. What I'm describing next came to me second-hand, from news video, discussions with others, and video feeds from Alpha and others sources.

Next a few bits of information about household upkeep and updates. One of the things Alpha and I had been pursuing to an increasing degree was people storage, or in SciFi terms, suspended animation. Let me say right off the bat, freezing people doesn't work. Yes, cold slows cell degradation and death, and yes, science can freeze and revive small animals. But let's back up just a little ... The human body is full of water, and water expands when frozen. If you freeze a person, cells...

Diana and Zatanna's return was a fairly straightforward scenario. At first glance, it might seem that it would be more complex because for the first time the household knew they were coming and could prepare, but we had more than enough uncertainty about the specific arrival time built into the background story. As much as I like to discuss background stories, this time ... just read the previous chapter. For a quick one-line summary: They believed that traveling between their universe and...
Author’s note : apologies to Deep Purple: And yes I know the song is ‘My Woman from Tokyo’ ——————————- I work for an extremely large company that is based in Kyoto, Japan. The office I work out of, however, is in Seattle. On Friday, January 6th, 2006, I succeeded in bringing in a contract that would net the company $100 million. When I arrived at work on Monday morning I was immediately called into my supervisors office. When I went into his office all of the bosses of this branch of the...
There were a couple delays to be dealt with before our next women were to be brought to life, but the decision on who to animate was made well before Rogue arrived: Wonder Woman and Zatanna! The decision was made partly because we had a built-in method to bring them in due to the backstory we wrote for Power Girl. The story was that Kara was on her way to meet the other two ladies for a girls' night out when she was transported here for her "vacation". From there, it's a tiny step to...
On a Wednesday in January, Beta, Kasumi, Kara and I took the afternoon off to look at real estate. When I had first started on this adventure to recreate fictional women for my own pleasure and company, I had built a rather large house to accommodate everyone. I hate the word mansion, but that's basically what it was. Three above-ground floors plus a large (and secure) basement. It had fourteen bedrooms and was currently laid out to comfortably hold up to 22 people. (It was originally...
So how can I possibly explain why I allowed Alpha to slaughter 49 human beings? I don't know if they all deserved it or not. Most of them definitely did. I think I really need to back up a bit. A few months passed after our robot competition in Las Vegas. School continued for those going to school. Daria and Jane entered their Senior year in college, but they had both opted for a five year graduation schedule, Daria because she was ambitious, Jane because she was academically lazy. The...

The first indication I had that something was wrong came when the two security cameras at the cabin showed someone was poking around. The cabin cameras were low priority. Alpha monitored them, but just barely. One of her security systems would spare a few milliseconds of attention every five minutes or so to make sure nothing had changed. One camera's field of view included some of the driveway and the spot where we would leave our DC superheroines to wake up. The other camera showed the...

If Ranma was a Disney movie, she would be the one calling woodland creatures to do the...
I was a little nervous. Minor television appearances with Alphadroid aside, this was one of the largest groups I had ever addressed. My entire household plus all twenty-eight general employees of AARD and three of the researchers (ie the ones willing to attend). I had rented a large dining room at the local Holiday Inn and paid for a nice catered dinner. This time it wasn't to celebrate a specific company anniversary but instead to make a surprise announcement and celebrate our projected...
I somehow restrained myself from yelling and kept my exclamation to a much quieter if somewhat growly, "I can't fucking believe it. It's just not fair!" "I thought you would be pleased that she arrived by herself." "Well ... yeah, at least there's that. It's just that ... she's just a one-shot joke!" "She has appeared in more than one publication from DC..." "But even so, she'll still a one-note joke of a character." "You would be a better judge of that," said Alpha...
THE ALPHA CLUB (continued) BY TRISHA PREFACE Here are the last four chapters and epilogue of "The Alpha Club." The story is finally complete. It follows the same outline I originally schemed out years ago even before I started writing, and it is with great satisfaction that I have at last finished it. This means too that, at this time at least, I don't have any plans to write more about it. However, if other writers would like to take up their hand at writing in this...
The Member of Parliament for Dentham East. Harry was seeing double. He put the report down and rubbed his eyes. The good citizens of Dentham could go fuck themselves. He closed his eyes for a moment and leaned back in his chair. Rose, his PA, poked her head round the door. “Oi! Wake up!” “I’m thinking.” “Well, remember you’ve got Jim Newsome at three – the Education and Employment Bill. He’s bringing the witch with him.” She meant Dame Belinda White, effectively the head of the...
Alpha Males with earth girl sissys part 4 final. John tried to get away, but it was hopeless, as she looked down at his new feminized body, the restive pink skirts did nothing to help with getting away as he tried to escape. The nightly ritual of letting the now conquered earth sissies try to escape from their manly super alpha males, now their strong boyfriends/husbands. They never got that far, with their girly clothes always giving them away, the light pink yellow pastel colors...
Alpha Males conquered earthly men part 3 City after city was conquered by the Alpha men. The earth men stood no hope, each time they fought against these alpha men they slowly weakened and we're turned into the pretty gurls they were meant to be. John looked out to see the Alpha men coming. Behind him stood one of the last army's of men earth, to defend one of the last earth men controlled territories. As he scanned the approaching army Alpha men there was a strange weakness...
Alpha Core 13D, The Escape By: Stephanie aka Malissa Madison It was never easy for her, she belonged to a branch of the Government that operated in secrecy. She'd been raised by surrogate parents until she was seven, then placed in the barracks with the rest of what was called her Series. She wasn't like most of the others, she could feel it, first there had been the fact that she was in a boy's body. She preferred soft delicate things, appreciating beauty in...

It was a big event. After 150 years being crated, thus hidden from view, the sleeping Buddha of Kyoto was due to be uncrated and shown to the public for a month. When that time was up the Buddha was to be crated again for another 150 years. It was fifteen feet wide and sixteen feet tall. Very impressive.My friends told me I needed to be on the train to Kyoto early because the pilgrims would be packing it for that first day. Fortunately the journey started from the station three miles from...
I wasn’t just a little nervous, I was in absolute panic over the unknown that I was about to face. My name is John and I’m a freshman at Grayson College. Most people haven’t heard of Grayson, but it’s existed for over fifty years. The college is located in the Northeast and has demanding entrance requirements—high grades in high school, very high SAT scores, extra curricula activity a definite plus. The only exception to a purely quantitative admission or rejection is that past family alumni...
I wasn't just a little nervous; I was in absolute panic over the unknown that I was about to face. My name is John and I'm a freshman at Grayson College. Most people haven't heard of Grayson, but it's existed for over fifty years. The college is located in the Northeast and has demanding entrance requirements—top grades in high school, very high SAT scores, extra curricular activity a definite plus. The only exception to their purely quantitative admission criteria is that past family...
Tristan Northam was the most intimidating man—no, wolf, in Howls Grove. Of course, not everyone knew that he was in fact, a werewolf, and not just any werewolf… Alpha of the wolves. At twenty-five years old, he had lost all his beloved family members when they were abducted from their home one night by wolf hunters. They were transported and taken to an underground laboratory where a series of horrific experiments were conducted until they inevitably died. Tristan was the only survivor because...
Gay MaleMomentarily releasing the seal she had on Maja's sweet flower Katie gasped and exhaled as a slight tremor rippled through her body. The swollen pillar of pulsing cock firmly embedded in her pussy rhythmically spewed warm globules of cum, coating her trembling vaginal walls in rich reproductive cream. Her cervix greedily drank the thick jettisons of sperm being unleashed inside of her, pulling as much of the virile seed into her fertile womb so that it might combine with her egg. She loved...
Alpha males vs earth sissies revolution part 1 "Pink or blue?" "Or should i say light pink or powder blue, we cant make you think blue is a boys color, it can be feminine also... or a sissy yellow... hmm." the deep alpha manly voice asked his soon to be sissy prisoners as he and the other alpha men laughed. the captured "men" were asked. "It doesn't matter soon to be sissies," the tall, huge super alpha man said grinning as the captured men of earth struggled. "You'll look...
"I'm boooorrrrred." The high-pitched voice came from somewhere behind me, as I sat working in my basement lab. I should have been alone. I was actually trying to get some work done ... well, work-related emails, at least. But the voice was obviously that of Leafrider, one of the small elves who had arrived back in February. That made sense, given that those two had shown themselves perfectly capable of getting into my lab any time they wanted. (Well, not the 'clean room' or...
Alpha Males Vs Earth sissies; part 2 A few weeks later.... "Stacy... are you ready to come out and show your new feminine self to me your new master?" The strong alpha male called from outside her girly room. Jack/Stacy stared at slender self in the mirror still not quite believing what had come of herself.. The servants had taken their time get "her" ready... slowly stripping away the earth masculinity and showing the inner girlishness all earth men naturally have, but has...
Prologue: The Discovery 100 years in the future the monumental discovery that we had been waiting for decades has finally come true. We discovered extra-terrestrial life on another planet. For so long it had been the subject of TV shows like "Star Trek" that there are other alien forms of life throughout the galaxy, and now that dream has been realized. There was a similar human-like species on Alpha. The discovery of life on Alpha became the single most newsworthy event in history. The...
"Tribe, the other teams are returning. They've completed their missions, and have the data we needed," said the communications technician. "Are we really going do this?" "By ourselves no, but we aren't alone. And within the next seventy two hours it won't matter," said the leader of the Alpha Alliance. "The teams up top want to know when the support rigs are going to be back out on the road. And those down here want to know why no one is being permitted to leave the Garage's," said...
Alpha Core 13D, Little Things Beth's car sounded pretty good in the shop, but as we started going through it we began finding little things here and there. Her recent troubles during the test run had triggered her badly. Now the engine lay on her work bench in complete disassembly as a result. She went through everything, over everything, checked everything. Still she couldn't find the problem. Finally unable to stand her obsession any longer Sassy approached her bench....
“I was seen to already.” Orion shrugged, hands still up. “Omegas get a little shaken by challenges. I think Vincent might have rushed it a bit.” Megan could smell the truth in that, had felt it in Vincent’s shaking hands when he’d stitched certain wounds together. Orion slowly lowered his hands, gesturing to her bed. She sat down and he pulled out a kit before he began to unbandage her leg. “This isn’t how things usually go, I think,” she teased to try and break the silence....
Megan sighed as she finished licking her paws clean of her final meal in isolation. She was sweaty, stank something chronic and was sick of eating nothing but rabbits and birds. It was day seven of her living out by herself. It wasn’t the first time she’d done such a stint. Most alphas, as well as some betas and omegas, would give it a go at least once as they came of age. But that would usually last a few days at most. Wolves grew up around a pack, the voices of their pack in their...
Charmaine, the grey-haired head omega of the pack, snorted. “You are an alpha.” “No. I don’t mean alpha. I mean Alpha.” Charmaine paused, looked her over, not holding her eyes. Omegas found it difficult to meet alphas eyes when they were riled up, and Megan was definitely riled up now. “Look. Megan. You’re dominant, but Orion is tough. Plus, you’re only fifty. You’re still coming into your own and you’ve still got a baby face.” Megan tried not to pout, knowing that her...
Setting myself up to be cucked by an alpha male. I must admit our love making had taken a hit recently. It was mostly my fault, being to tired after working to much and my growing interest in online porn. Other people seemed to be having so much more interesting sex than me, and I envied them. My wife and I were both 43 and our sexlife had become stale. Sara was hot looking, but quite unadventurous in bed. Often if I brought up ideas during love making just to spice things up she would just...
Sometimes its good to go out!,,My weekends are usually spent in front of my computer, wallowing in all the glory of porn, degrading myself with determination, searching the nooks and crannies of porn for my latest kink or fetish. This month I have explored latex and the fringes of domination ( should be right up this betas street, no?)Anyway last Sunday I ran out of excuses and arranged to meet a friend for breakfast. I arrived on time and was just about to sit down when I got a message from my...
THE ALPHA CLUB (continued) BY TRISHA CHAPTER THREE: THE PROPOSAL FRIDAY, JULY 20TH Julian swallowed hard. He checked his watch and looked at Anthony Locke's unbelievably hot maid for the tenth time, wondering what she would be like in the sack. Then he stopped himself and thought about running away. Then he looked at the maid again. Then he checked the time again. Still three o'clock. He took a deep breath. It had been over two weeks since the events at Arnold Clemson's...
Alpha Core 13 D, Regrouping By: Stephanie Lynn aka Malissa Madison I'd been driving for about twenty miles when I found myself surrounded by fast moving Muscle Cars. A Charger, and two Mustang Shelby's. the Charger cut in front of me and I automatically braked hard to get out of the box they had me in. but they seemed to anticipate my moves. "Calm down girl, we're here to help you disappear," came the thoughts in my head. I didn't recognize the voices, but something said trust...
THE ALPHA CLUB BY TRISHA PREFACE This is a story of fiction that contains graphic sexual scenes. In many ways, it does not try to be particularly realistic, using a mysterious magic to transform men into sex-addicted bimbos. Be warned; it is inherently sexist, some might even say misogynistic, and I make no real apology for that. It is a fantasy I like living out in my mind and no more. If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, then read no further. But if, like me, that's...
PREFACE Alpha Club is quite possibly the single hottest story I've ever read. Tables turning and those who once thought they were in control ending up at the very bottom of the totem pole is just one of the best things. Add in the elements of mind control and transformation and it just hits all the right buttons for me. When I thought about writing something in the universe, an idea struck me. In the story, it's Tatiana who ends up being truly the most powerful dominant, the one...
The following Sunday evening there was a general meeting in the cafeteria for all Huntington Hall residents and staff. As the freshmen crowded into the cafeteria, Cecilia and the dorm director stood together, while Jason, Ken, Mike, and Lisa stood off to one side nervously awaiting what was about to happen. They were to be introduced as the representatives for Huntington Hall in the Tri-Alpha 10-K nude run. Following some words about fire safety and the need to focus on midterms, the dorm...
Alpha/Beta DynamicsI often get asked about my approach to alpha males and how to make the dynamics work between alpha and beta males when cruising or in a social scene. Hooking up or initiating a contact that will lead to something more is harder than it seems. I hope that I can give some perspective on this and share some of my experience. All too often I hear from guys who bump in to the Ying to their Yang and yet are unable to make a physical or social connection happen. Guys who are...

Megan, in her wolf form, breathed hard. Through their mental pack link, she said, “Elvin, we’ve done this so much already this morning. I won’t even get to fighting Orion if I don’t pass the other challenges.” Elvin’s large grey wolf suddenly lunged at her and she dodged, nipping his throat as he passed. “Plus, I’ve been able to beat you for years,” she said, not able to stop the smugness creeping into her tone. She’d first won against him eight years or so ago. She had been able...
