The Shark House - Chapter 73 - One Heart

The remaining eight girls all dated Dave Dreamer a second time, this time all dates were the same, by the end of it, Dave was hospitalised from exhaustion and gastroenteritis, this angered Dr Michelle Meadows who didn't approve of marriage bounties to begin with.
The remaining girls met with Wendy, Dawn and Alice but none of them looked happy, it was hard to describe how each of them felt, Wendy felt confident that Dave had failed miserably but Dawn and Alice weren't so sure.
The eight girls were given time before Dave returned from hospital, Wendy left laughing but Dawn and Alice stayed to discuss.
"She's a handful" Dawn said.
"That's the nice way of saying it, I can't stand Wendy's attitude towards men, she thinks they can be manipulated so easily, it's not a good look for someone who runs the BWI, Giro even put in a request to have her stand down should Dave succeed" Alice spoke.
"Says the woman who tied up Dave and emptied five mags of airsoft bullets on him" Dawn called out Alice.
"This coming from someone who almost killed Razzmatazz" Alice returned.
After some calm from the stalemate, the two spoke again.
"One of them has actually fallen in love with him and we both know who it is, I guess the question is, can Dave finish the job?" Dawn said.
"He better, I want Wendy to fail" Alice leaves sucking a candy cane.
All eight girls went to different places.
Lucy went to a bar.
Lola went to the gym.
Bianca went to a spa.
Haruna went to a board game cafe.
Su-Jin went to the battle snax pub.
Darla went to the race track.
Nasu went to Slippy Squad's training base.
Zoe went home.
One of them actually loves Dave, but which one?

The Shark House - Chapter 72 - Weaknesses

Dave Dreamer did indeed go on all his dates, the final total being 52 since he forgot to include already agreed dates before the marriage bounty was issued.
44 of them didn't want to continue.
There was a reason why the BWI girls were allowed to pick the first date option, by bringing the male into their environment they have a better sense of who they're dealing with and the 44 who gave up have left reasons.
17 of them didn't feel like Dave was really into it, some of the more passionate ladies in terms of interests are so into it that any potential partner needs to keep up with them, the movie buffs and the sports fanatics in particular, Dave might like Soccer but dating a Brazilian who lives and breathes it is too much.
12 of them called Dave a simp, some women like to be in control and have their partner treat them like royalty but it gets boring after a while, you kind of wish for some push back or backbone.
2 found Dave Dreamer boring, this was Noelle and Winona who thrive in big social groups and don't feel Dave fits in.
4 felt that Dave was lacking, Kara, Julie, Maria and especially Wendy are all frustrated that they couldn't find the special something that attracted them to Dave in the first place, their loss I guess.
4 just used Dave to find themselves, Dawn, Suzuka, Chao and Koala wanted to see another side of things to see if grass really is greener.
5 just want to stay friends, Nora has a hundred friends already, Bonnie and Popuri are happy to be friends, Lisa was more of an apology, Alice after emptying five guns worth of airsoft bullets at Dave calls it even.
That leaves 8 women left and are evenly divided into four categories.
Lola and Lucy like Dave's competitive nature and want to release it more.
Nasu and Zoe are both very close to Dave and want to get closer.
Sujin and Darla don't want to stop having fun with Dave because it gives their lives meaning.
Bianca and Haruna are so similar in personality to Dave that they seem better suited to him than the others.
The next stage of the marriage bounty will be crucial and only one can win, but Dave can rest easy knowing that both Alice and Wendy are off his back, despite Alice leaving him with a hundred bruises.

The Shark House - Chapter 71 - Contract

"So let me see if I got this straight, you want me to use the winnings I won fairly from Razzmatazz to fund a dating contest for your little marriage bounty of Dave Dreamer?" Dawn asked pissed off.
Wendy and Giro sat before the Polygon Express boss, Dawn demanding why she should care.
"Dave is one of only five people in the whole world who can operate the machine that can forge Corona into a manufacturing form, one is disabled and unable, two are retired and one is MIA, that just leaves Dave, and I know for a fact that Delta's VR system uses Corona components" Wendy hoping that'll be enough to convince her.
Dawn broke the table with her fist, she wanted Giro to say something.
"I know it sounds absurd but I'd think of the bigger picture, you can negotiate the details in a contract which favours your company" Giro says.
Dawn's programmer Miles whispers to her, Dawn nods and calls out her lawyer.
Dawn laid out five points in her contract.
1. Delta McIntosh's previous rank in the BWI is restored.
2. Dave Dreamer's employment contract falls under the ownership of Polygon Express.
3. This also includes the mining contract for locating Corona.
4. I Dawn Shriners will get overall say on what Corona is used for as well as get final say over who buys Corona.
5. Polygon Express gets 70% of the profits, the other 30% will go into Government funds.

Wendy wasn't impressed, she can see that her grandmother got involved in writing the contract.
"I'm a busy woman so make a decision already" Dawn said impatiently.
Giro stamped the contract, Wendy did so reluctantly but she knew this would be a test of her candidacy for Mayor.

With everything settled, Dave Dreamer will date all 40 women who have expressed interest in him, the women will pick the date destination/activity, after each date Dave will choose to keep or reject one of the girls.
"So it's basically the Bachelor reality tv show" Giro says to Dave.
"So don't mess it up" Luke laughs slapping Dave on the back.

The Shark House - Chapter 70 - The Reluctant Teacher

Popuri was discharged from hospital only to be sent back a day later due to sepsis, the quick thinking of a shop employee saved her life and will take another week to recover.
This gave Suzuka time to contemplate the situation she now found herself in with Popuri starting as an employee of the school, not helping is the euphoria created from their battle caused the students to keep asking questions about Suzuka's background as number one gamer in the world.
In the teachers lounge, one of the female teachers in a sparkly dress kept Suzuka company.
"Never thought you'd end up topping the popularity polls" the teacher known as Souma Kureha was referring to the school idol system that applies to teachers, with Suzuka's strict teaching, she's normally bottom especially when her subject is workshop class, Kureha sensei taught home economics.
"Ever since I lost that bet with Souki, I just feel so out of place in this environment, now I feel like I can never leave, why, why didn't Popuri stop my attack?" Suzuka was beating herself up.
"Loosen up already Suzuka, I think I speak for the faculty that you need a break from the battles and just embrace your talent for making things" Souma says.
Suzuka didn't want to admit that Souma was right.
"Have you seen the BWI marriage bounty? Why not try a date, you might finally feel something for life" Souma suggested.
Suzuka just picked up her bag and went to homeroom.
"Souki can you do anything?" Souma asked.
"Who knows, Giro sent me some Black Book data, both her and Popuri are listed as compatible with Dave Dreamer, it was originally 20 girls but it's now 40, I don't want to get involved with the McCoy Sisters in fighting but I think Suzuka should at least try, highest ranked single guy on the Highways who isn't Giro, he's not a bad catch really" Souki being complimentary.
"I think anyone dealing with Dave Dreamer needs to sort out that car buying problem" Souma mentioned.
The stage was set for act 3.

The Shark House - Chapter 69 - The Black Book System

All the members of Slippy Squad were present at their usual meeting place including part time members, Jon, a part time member was wrestling Dave into submission, Nasu wondered if someone should stop it leading the other members to shake their heads to say, "this is normal"
Think the reason this time was hiding the fact that they recruited a female member, and Jon didn't know but Dave wasn't even present at the meeting to decide that.
Once the play fighting settled, Giro asked Luke to open the Black Book System.
The Black Book System is the BMWC's program that identifies dateable women, to avoid unnecessary harrassment, the book is limited to just BWI members and under the agreement that the BWI has a system of their own, this keeps the two genders at peace.
"Okay, Dave has been issued a marriage bounty by the BWI, so to avoid problems lets narrow down our options" Giro starts writing in some algorithms while the other members wondered how Dave got into this mess to begin with.
Dave Dreamer got his name for his outlandish expensive pursuits, if he had any money sense with how much he gets paid, he wouldn't be stuck in Shark House.
Everything through cars, oversized TVs and expensive entertainment systems, you can guarantee he'll get it but never need it.
"There are 300 members in the Bayside Women's Institute, we take out children, married women, keep the age range healthy, add his plus sides, any negatives?" Giro asked.
Each person roasted Dave into the ground with ever increasing insults.
Nasu again wondered if this should be stopped, again Giro says, "this is normal".
Rather than list them all, Giro reworked them to make them sound less negative, a testament to Giro's language skills.
After applying everything, it came up with 20 search results.
"Isn't that too many?" Luke thought.
Giro points out that Wendy may have manipulated the database to make herself the best choice, so Giro did an extra algorithm to rank the 20 girls from most compatible to least compatible.
Top of the leaderboard is Lola Rosberg.
27 years old, German, runs a cycle shop in Lakewood, described as friendly, polite, outgoing and competitive, very few negatives and looks amazing in lycra.
"We'll keep that one as the most likely, I wouldn't rule out the other choices" Giro scrolled. No surprises that Alice and Wendy found their way on the list, some surprises from Kara, Popuri and Suzuka appearing, Su-Jin, Reina, Ruri and Darla, Dave has at least met. Julie and Lucy both have great Highway reputations. Bonnie, Eva, Nel, Nora, Tessa and Jaruna are all unknowns but the last two really shocked everyone, Zoe the Hellcat Helkin and Nasu Warhammer Hijiri.
Nasu glowed bright red blushing and had to leave the room to calm down, her insecurities were going haywire.
"Sucks to be you Dave" Luke said.
