It Suits Me: Chapter 13 (Patreon)

I closed the door to my bedroom and left the dorm. I needed food. I was also worried about Jessica. I went over to her dorm but no one answered when I knocked on her door. I went to the cafeteria. As I sat down at a table with my tray, Danny entered. He spotted me and sat down across from me. “Barry, you gotta get Sandra out of the house.”

“Good to see you too, Danny.”

“Sorry, I never realized how much I liked talking to Sandra. She just lays there. I can't concentrate. Then someone knocks and asks since I'm not using her can he borrow her. And I say sure because I know that's what she wants.”

“An odd dilemma. Say, do you know the DEBs named Diana and Sophia?”

“You mean the chapter president Diana Rosdahl and her right hand gal? Yeah, I know them.”

“I need to find them, discreetly, but I don't know what they look like and I don't want to just knock on the sorority house front door.”

“Gerald said you might need some help with a Greek issue.”

“Did he say to help out?”

“As long as it won't reflect badly on Kappa Xi Epsilon.”

“After I finish – are you planning to eat?”

“No, I was looking for you. No one answered at your room.”

“Good, after I finish we'll head down to Frat Row and maybe you can point some people out to me and I can help you with Sandra.”

As we walked down to the row of Greek houses, Danny waved to a few people, told me their names when he knew them. We did not happen to pass Diana or Sophia. At the Kappa Xi Epsilon house, we entered and went up to Danny's room. Sandra was naked, strewn face-down on the bed haphazardly.

“What the fuck?” Danny yelled. “Go in and fix her. I'll be right back.” He closed the door as he left and started shouting, “Who was the last person with the doll? Get your ass over here this second.”

“Hey, Sandra, how's it going?” I said as I flipped her over. “When you and I are alone, you can move and speak freely. Otherwise, you are an inert doll.”

“What? How?” She said.

“We've learned things since you were dollified.”

“This is great. I can be a doll and move.”

“Well, I don't want that piece of info getting out. So, don't talk loudly. And you're a doll when it isn't just the two of us. How have you been treated by a house of hormonal boys.”

“Some of them are a bit rough and tumble. Since I don't feel pain it hasn't been a problem.”

“Danny misses you.”

“I'm right here.”

“He misses talking to you.”

“He hasn't shut up much since I got here.”

“Yeah, but you don't talk back any more.”

“Well, I could if you...”

“I might do that.”

The door opened and Sandra's body slumped like a puppet whose strings had been cut. Danny walked in.

“Sorry about that, Baby. Ryan isn't allowed to fuck you any more for just dumping you on my bed.”

“She probably liked it.”

“Doesn't matter. What matters is that he treats my property with respect.”

“Possessive about your doll?”

“You know what I mean.”

“I do. Lock the door.” As he did, I said to Sandra. “As a doll you can move and speak freely when alone with me or Danny in a room with a closed door.”

Sandra picked up her head, “You treat me so nice. Almost too nice, Danny. I'm not fragile.”

“What?” He exclaimed.

“Sh-h-h,” I hissed. “Keep your voice down.”

“How can she talk and move?” He hissed back.

“It turns out she isn't just a sex toy. She's a sex automaton I can verbally control. Or something like that. I found out about this aspect of the toy transformation last night. Now, don't tell anyone this. It's bad enough people think I can turn them into inert dolls. Turning people into obedient automatons is next level stuff.”

“What did you find out?” Danny asked Sandra.

“You want Barry to know?”

“Barry is involved.

“What's this?” I asked.

“I'm undercover.” Sandra said.

“Something is going on between the Kaps and Delts. I've allowed Sandra to be available to just about anybody to see if I could find out more. Since you told me in the caff you want to know who Diana and Sophia are I figure you're involved.”

“Yes, Gerald told me Maria Vasquez is up to something and might have use of my abilities.”

“Really? You're not helping her are you?”

“I am in theory.”

“What?”

“Back up, what is going on and why shouldn't I help Maria?”

“There's a power play going on in the Greek Council. Gerald is trying to get his people onto the council to fulfill his agenda. Getting Maria to the top of DEB is part of that agenda. Once he controls DEB he has an easy majority on the Council board and can do whatever he wants.”

“So Diana is also in opposition to him.”

“Yes.”

“We gotta stop talking about this here. Who knows who might be able to hear us in here.”

“You think my room is bugged.”

“I think Gerald is very interested in the Sandra doll,” I said. “Who knows what he would do to find out more about it.”

“He is?” Sandra said. “I haven't seen him once since I've been here.”

“I know he knows about you. He mentioned the doll in Danny's room when he spoke to me on Wednesday,” I said.

“So, back to my question,” Danny said. “What did you find out?”

“Well, not much I guess. I only found out yesterday that Barry was involved from Peter.”

“What did Peter know?”

“He was in the hallway outside the room. I don't know who he was talking to but he said 'Maria thinks Barry will take care of Diana.'”

“What is the problem with Gerald getting his way?” I asked. “Because I promised Maria I'd help her take over DEB.”

“Well, I can't be against something that furthers Gerald. He's a fellow brother,” Danny said.

“I'm just a doll. And even if I weren't, I'm not a Greek,” Sandra said.

“Okay, I have things to do. Before I leave, Danny do you still want me to make Sandra human again or is her talking when you guys are alone good enough?”

“It's good. Could you give her an on/off switch so she can be a doll around me too?”

“Sure. Sandra, when you’re a doll, and alone with Danny or myself, you can move and talk freely with the following stipulation. 'Sandra Off' spoken by Dan or me removes this ability to move and talk, 'Sandra On' spoken by Dan or me restores this ability. These commands only work when no one else is in the room with us and the doors are closed. Finally, Sandra, at the end of the month at midnight, you are free to move and talk without restriction. Seek me out at your convenience so we can talk about what happens to you going forward.”

“Why did you do that?”

“I think a time limit is necessary. We don't know if there are long term effects from whatever this is. And it's only a few days until Tuesday.”

I left the frat house and was standing on the sidewalk when a woman approached me. Her hair was a short pixie cut with a pink and white ombré. She wore cut-up jeans, a t-shirt for a band I never heard of, and an oversized shoulder bag. “Barry Green?”

“Yes,” I said.

“Could you come with me? Someone wants to talk to you privately.”

“Someone?”

“I'm not at liberty to say who.”

“Why not?”

Ignoring my question, she led me back toward campus into the rec center and upstairs to one of the private rooms on the second floor that are rented out by the various clubs on campus. The room had a conference table with about a dozen chairs. One wall was covered by white board. Waiting in the room was another woman. She was short, richly tanned, and had long black hair with thick curls. She wore a white DEB sorority sweater that highlighted her chest nicely and a plaid, pleated knee-length skirt. She reached out a hand to greet me. “Barry. My name is Sophia Castronovo.”

The door closed behind me. The girl with the pixie cut was still outside. I shook Sophia's hand. “I don't think we've met before. To what do I owe this honor.”

“We have some common acquaintances and I thought if you were running in these circles I should introduce myself.”

“How thoughtful.”

“How did you get involved? You're not pledging Kappa Xi Epsilon, are you?”

“No, I'm not. I suppose Gerald pointed Maria in my direction.”

“You can't help Maria with whatever she is planning.”

“I can't?”

“You shouldn't.”

“Why not?”

“Gerald wants to make DEB a puppet to KXE in the Greek Council.”

“And I care because....?”

“You probably shouldn't care. Is she paying you? I can outbid her.”

“What do you think I can do?”

“You had something to do with that doll in Kappa Xi Epsilon.”

“Let's say I did. How does that affect your Greek Council?”

“I'm not sure. I worry about what might happen to others in some inane quest for meaningless power and that you might be a catalyst for such.”

“I'm guessing Diana doesn't agree with your thoughts on the meaning of power.”

Sophia paused, caught of guard perhaps. “No. After graduation, she plans to seek high position within the national Delta Epsilon Beta organization and thinks she can't do that unless she is President of a local chapter while in college.”

“So, you are also hoping she holds on to power for her own future career. Do you care about whatever Gerald is doing?”

“I don't. Diana does.”

“You're just caught in the middle?” I said. I stood up and extended my hand again. “Well, it's been nice chatting with you.”

She shook my hand and started to say something. But I pulled her off balance and kissed her on the lips. Then I pulled her into a bear hug. She was deflated sufficiently that she was just a bodysuit before she could react. I dropped her out of sight of the door and opened it. Poking my head out, I saw the pink-haired girl and said, “Sophia wants to talk to you.”

As the girl walked in, she was confused because she could not see Sophia. At that moment, I kissed her and squeezed her flat before she could react. I locked the door.

I quickly folded Sophia into a rough square, laid her down on her skirt, and rolled that up. I stuffed that into the pink-haired girls' bag along with the rest of Sophia's clothes and shoes. I then stripped and put the bodysuit of the other girl on. When the zipper faded, I found out her name – my name – was Roxie. I also found out her tongue was pierced. Touching her body I found several more intimate piercings. As I suspected she was not a member of DEB. She was an old high school friend of Sophia who lived nearby, off-campus.

I put on Roxie's clothes and then stuffed my clothes and shoes into her bag. Thankfully, it was a really big bag. I searched the room for anything I may have missed before unlocking the door and turning out the light.

Thinking about it told me where Roxie lived. Her boyfriend was out of town gigging with his rock band. I did not have a complete plan but I figured Roxie would not be noticed by the Greeks as much as if I had put on Sophia. I went to Roxie's apartment. It was two blocks off campus. Unlocking the front door, I looked around. It was familiar and unfamiliar simultaneously. I put down the shoulder bag and went into her bedroom.

A hand clasped over my mouth from behind. “Surprise,” said a man's voice. He grabbed my t-shirt and pulled it up to the height of my head, trapping my arms above my shoulders and making it difficult to see anything in the unlit room.
