The Dating Sim: Remastered

E because well we kinda of need to fix that promblem and C because Big Bro

The last straggler decides to join another group. Wow, OK. Don't even offer to join.  Whatever.  Kiran heads inside the portal to find a beautiful, pristine beach set against a blood-red sea, the sun just now rising. It's smaller than the beach you came from, largely because it's cut off by a giant cliff. Different strata of rock are clearly visible, filled with different crystals and ores. Narrow, twisting paths wind up the side. It's really beautiful, glinting in the sunlight...

Somnis looks at the groups that have gathered. "Alright, we need to gather some Fish Eyes and some other materials... For you newbies, monsters sometimes drop useful things when they die. If you collect five matching items, you can use them to create a new set of armor or a new weapon. When doing so, you can insert up to three other items to modify the item. Plus your Soul Key will do some modifications of its own - so, y'know, don't expect anyone to get the same results even with the same items. Our goal is to make fire-resistant armor for everyone. If you have any questions when making items, come to me! Um... OK! The enemies we're looking for should be in the shallows. So just wade in when you're ready..."

Kiran watches as a bunch of people start taking out soul keys and transforming.

She simply disappears into thin air. She re-appears behind Morgan, dressed in a black, skintight suit lined with knives with a black cape and a mask over her eyes.

Tom's face disappears into a motorcycle helmet and he wears a simple, black-leather jacket and carries a chain.

Somnis looks at Tia. "Alright, see if you can transform."

Tia nods. You notice she's wearing the same outfit she came into the human world with. Nothing but her circlet, a skirt, and a tube top. "By the power of my Guardian'ssss Ssssoul..." she whispers. She flashes in blue flame, then collapses to her knees. She shakes her head. "No good..."

"That's more or less what I expected," Somnis admits. She tosses Tia a Soul Key. "Here, this should still work."

"'K." She holds up the key. Once again she's bathed in blue flames. She emerges dressed in a traditional toga and sandals, wearing a Greek theater mask and her circlet. She holds her hand out and a glowing-blue spear materializes from thin air. Her tongue flicks out through a slit in her mask. She nods approvingly. "Let's go spear some fishies!" she says.

Morgan's entire body and face begins to glow in a white light and she begins to change. Her shoes and skirt are transformed into leather. Her shirt is replaced with leather armor covering her chest and a poofy pink tail pops out of her lower back. Finally, a pair of floopy bunny ears form on her head, her hair turning bright pink. Finally, a scarf forms around her face, flapping in the breeze and covering her lower half of her face.

Levi activates his key, causing a geyser of water to shoot out from underneath him, spiraling in a whirlpool pattern as he walks out, wearing a golden circlet, boots, and gauntlets. With a giant, scaly tail poking out of his butt. Wow... Looks heavy. Bare-chested, too. Bold. But he's freaking out about something.

Buttons flashes white, reappearing with a brown cloak that hides his face in perpetual shadow. A white-glowing lantern hangs from his shoulder. A shovel is slung across his shoulders.

Natsumi bursts into blue flame, emerging in blue pants and a white overshirt with huge sleeves. She's carrying a staff with white papers hanging off it and wearing a Japanese-style mask that you think's probably supposed to be a deer, judging from the antlers.

Mattea and Buttons seem to have a short argument before she holds up her key. A gust of wind swirls around her. A golden necklace appears around her shoulders, and dress starts to unroll to cover her. It's a stunning, lime-green ballgown, sleeveless, backless, with a wide, flowing skirt and tall, matching heels. A feathered ball mask flips down onto her nose, and her hair coils into a french braid. She produces a fan and snaps it open. "Huh... This feels... pretty cool."

Emo - no, Tai. He pops out his key and transforms back into his devil-form, twirling his guns dramatically.

Leia's the last in her group to transform. She changes into... a totally normal, if grey, beach outfit. With a tattoo on her arm. And a wide-brimmed sunhat and comically large sunglasses.

Katie stoops down on all fours. Her muscles begin to bulge and fur sprouts from her skin. Her swimsuit explodes as she stands up, throwing her head back to howl as a 7ft tall werewolf, eyes glowing yellow and saliva dripping from her fangs. She flexes her claws, stretches her shoulders, wags her tail, then sits down and scratches her head. With her foot. It... really helps tone down the intimidation factor.

Fox sinks into the ground, re-emerging dressed similar to Somnis, but with a larger cape and without the mask. Instead, a black shawl is wrapped around the lower half of his face. A giant scythe is slung over his back.

Dewey shifts into his elf-y-looking cloaked form with the tome and stuff.

Kiran takes out his key and shifts into his performer's outfit. Speaking of performer's outfits...

Arcadia's hair has turned white with green, curled tips. Her legs are covered in black stockings with card suit symbols in alternating gold and green, leading to green high heels. She's got white gloves on her hands, holding a pair of small staves. And a leotard... black, with golden, lacy ribbons on her waist. Oh, wow.

Kiran swaggers over to Arcadia, looks her up and down, and grins. "Looks like we're going to be on the same team."

Arcadia bashes Kiran over the head.  He crumples to his knees, clutching his skull while she starts yelling at him.  "Like I want to be, asshole! You invite me to a lame-ass beach party, just to chuck me through a portal! Don't think we're gonna be friends just cuz..." Arcadia trails off as she starts noticing Kiran's... cool outfit. "That getup... N-Never mind! So, we're all a team, huh?" Arcadia giggles to herself a bit.

"I've gotta tell you, Arc-y... I do look amazing, huh!?" Kiran says.  "And y'know who else looks great?"  He stares her dead in the eye... then turns to Tia.  "Tia, you look cute!  Super-cute!  Very, very cute!  The cutest giant-snake-girl I've ever seen!"

Tia looks over in Kiran's direction.  Her tongue flicks in and out of the mouth-hole of her mouth several times.

...Kiran also notices Somnis seems to be sitting on the bunny-girl and rubbing her butt!?  What the heck is she doing?  Wasn't she the one saying that this isn't date night...?  Kiran's thought is interrupted by three giant pancake-looking fish jumping out of the water.  They start hovering on the water's surface.  They're about to attack!
