This story is based on a game "Who Wanna Be a Bimbo" created by Dahakma.
The game, despite its simplicity, is really absorbing and entertaining. It turns out, it can be inspiring as well.
------------------------------------------
My name is Nick and I decided to participate in a TV show called "Who Wanna Be a Bimbo?". It combines an old school quiz with the latest technology that for me is indistinguishable from magic. The key to the show and the main source of its popularity and dissimilarity from other such forms of entertainment is the penalty for each wrong answer - the contestant goes into a place called "The Chamber" and gets physically or mentally transformed, ultimately into a bimbo. I have watched the show a few times, but do not consider myself a fan. I understand the rules though and think of the questions as moderately hard. As is often the case with such shows it's more a matter of luck.
My friends from work who are fans of WWBaB had pointed out that I possess a broad general knowledge (I call that useless facts) and I work well under stress, so I should have a decent shot. The main prize is one and a half million dollars, so the risk can pay off. Somehow they managed to convince me to participate. So here I am...
"Welcome Ladies and Gentleman to Who Wanna Be a Bimbo. My name is Frank Trustworthy and I'm happy to present you our new contestant, Nick. Hello, Nick."
"Hello, Frank" I said in as confident voice as I could muster. It came out quite well.
"Tell us a few words about yourself, Nick."
"I'm twenty eight years old, I work as a junior manager in a large corporation."
"Do you want to quit your boring job and become a bimbo?" said Frank jokingly.
"No, it's not boring and I like it to a certain degree. And most certainly I don't want to become a bimbo. I'd rather leave this show unchanged, but with a lot of money. So does my girlfriend, who's watching the show right now."
"You'll soon get your chance. We have six rounds ahead of us, each with five questions. You'll have ten categories to pick from, so you can skip the four that you consider the toughest. There are five questions in each round and four answers available for every one of them. For every wrong answer you give, you'll have to draw a transformation card at the end of that round. If you don't like one particular transformation you can discard it, but have to pick two other in its place. You then go into The Chamber to get transformed and return to proceed to another round. Before you choose one of the categories, you need to draw ten of them from our pool. Ready?"
"Ready."
"So draw your first potential category.'
I put my hand into the bowl full of pieces of paper and pulled out one of them, then read its content out loud:
"European Flags."
"How do you feel about this category?"
"Sounds pretty easy."
"Pick another one, then and let's see if it's as good for you."
"Star Constellations. This one's terrible! I know almost nothing about stars. Hopefully other categories will be easier. Portugal. I'm not sure. I know a thing of two about Portugal, but don't consider myself an expert. Still a lot better, than stars."
The other ones, I had drawn, were: Poland, Germany, Olympic Games, Measurement and Units, Geometry and Money.
"What's your first choice?"
"I'm Polish, so Poland shouldn't be a hard category."
"As you wish."
It was easy indeed. Capital city, longest river, tallest mountain, first dynasty of kings, Solidarity the trade union - all basic school stuff. I got all the answers right and could proceed to the next round unaltered. This time I picked Germany, I had a lot of general knowledge about our Western neighbour so I felt confident. The questions felt a bit harder or maybe it was just the stress of being on stage finally kicking in? The largest constituent state, the longest river, the smallest state, de facto capital city during the cold war - all of these I got right, but some required a longer consideration. The fifth one, "Which of the following isn't a state?", was tricky and I tripped on it.
"You gave one incorrect answer, so you have to draw one transformation card, Nick."
This time my hands were not as stable as when I was drawing the categories. I pulled out one piece of paper and read the text aloud:
"Breasts Expansion."
"Aren't you a lucky one! Each single expansion increases the size of your breasts by two cup sizes, so you'll get nice B-cup boobies. And that's not silicone, they'll be natural and firm as those of an eighteen year old girl. Unless you want to discard it and choose two different ones. What's your choice, Nick? Do you want to get sexy breasts or risk getting two mental transformations?"
"I don't want mental transformations obviously, but I'm not ready for such an invasive alteration to my body. I'll discard it and draw something else."
"Go ahead then."
"Body Hair Removal and Feminization of Clothes."
"Do you like them more than breasts?"
"I guess so. They are less invasive for sure."
"Into The Chamber you go then."
I was given a blindfold to protect my eyes and locked in a large metal box. On the outside it had some fancy decorations to give it a futuristic look, but on the inside it was completely empty, just dark plain metal walls.
