On stage stood a big chested humanoid catgirl in a pink maid uniform with pink frills. Her hair was long and her eyes bright blue. She held a microphone like she was at a rock concrete.
"Welcome ladies and gentleman to the estate of the late Eddie Knight. I trust you all have your disclaimers and wavers all read and signed? As a final reminder. Eddie Knight had no heirs. His dying wish was for his estate to filled with former human brainwashed animal-girl maids. And in accordance with his will, you have all signed up with the chance of becoming his heir and inherenting his millions, and the undying loyalty and unconditional love of the new staff. You will have free medical and dental, and a lifetime contract you'll be expected to honor.
"You have legally agree to have your species mind, your sense of self as on the table for a chance to win everything. The animal girl you become will be based on your favorite animal, assuming they have an exoskeleton, can breath air, bleed, and that species is not human nor neanderthal or the like. Any winged creatures will have wings that are fully functional and a 'normal' pair of arms. If you don't have a favorite, one of the fandom defaults, cat, fox, doggie, will be chosen. Species like say griffin and dragon are possible.
"This game will follow traditional battle royal rules. Once transformed, a maid will leave the game and enter the manor, preparing it for the new master. The ray guns are programmed to cease functioning if the resulting zapping would result in a draw or a tie. Leaving the estate is an automatic game over. You will be given a five minute time at the start to find your hiding place or whatever. We've also included a few failsafes to prevent campers, you'll see.
"I'm Jasmine by the way, and I'll be the head maid and loyal to the new owner, and loyal to you, my new sisters!" Jasmine decided to leave out she'd been created when Eddie chose to do the ray gun's final test on himself on his death bed. It had completely brainwashed Eddie to what Jasmine was now, but she was grateful. And she'd see to it that Eddie's final wish was fulfilled.
"If you want to leave, now's your last chance. Fine? Then let the games begin!"
