A new opportunity

The second you enter the house a big bunch of people pour over from the living room and some go upstairs and some in the dining room. You are sure that something is going on and manage to catch the skeleton girl who went last.

"Eh, sorry... We were trying to do the ritual thing so we weren't here, uhh... What's going on?" You ask the skinny girl and she looks at you two and motions you with her. On the stairs she says casually: "You better forget the ritual thing. It's really fucking stupid." You couldn't agree more but couldn't say it so bluntly.

You go into a tv-room where a couple of others are waiting. It's the one scary-looking agent girl and somebody who you can't help but think is a guy. "So, is Uno a familiar game to everyone?"

The game starts and you keep an eye on the guy: he has thick nutmeg colored hair and friendly eyes - you are still not sure if he's a boy or trans-boy, you have seen a lot of guys today, but he does look a bit small for a guy his age. The reason you are even curious is because the party was supposed to be off-limits to boys and you at least feel really shy dressed up like this in the same room as a guy dressed all casually.

"Can you put a draw four over a draw four?" Romina the agent asks and Iris answers positively. You are down to three cards and they are all fours: you might win this round. Iris draws and it's up for Helena to place a blue card, you have a blue four and judge Helena's nervous expression: she also has three cards.

"U-uno..." She says and puts down a blue seven and a red on top of it. You do not have a red and feel annoyed. "So, I forgot to tell you, but the first one to get an uno will have to get a kiss... on the lips, by the one with the most cards." You feel weird, it's true that you kissed her before and wouldn't really mind doing it again, but Iris has the most cards.

"W-what? Are you joking? W-w-why the fuck didn't you tell us? That's so fucking stupid!" Helena outrages again and looks angrily at the cool skeleton girl: "I said I was sorry, I'll just give you a little, tiny thing on your lips and that's it. Come on, I am like the least sensual they come, it means nothing." Iris really does feel kind of nihilistic and you gulp as Helena is still blushing.

"F-fine, do it..." The skeleton leans in and it's so quick but there's clearly a kiss. "Now, let's continue." You breathe again and Helena looks troubled. You draw a few cards and finally get a black draw four and feel kind of good, but in a way insecure.

This George draws the cards and passes now even Iris. "What color?" Romina asks, holding her two remaining cards. You remember her choosing blue on her turn so you pick yellow and she draws. Iris puts down a simple yellow three and it's Helena's turn and she looks at you with a pout: "I better not get a yellow now or I'm seriously out."

She draws one and wails out and covers her face. You feel very, very bad and hug her as she cries softly. "Fuck. George has the most cards, you'll get a kiss from him..." Iris fans her face and the atmosphere is quite intense. "Hey, sorry girl. Eh, would it help if I closed my eyes?" George asks the weird question but Helena is far too frustrated to give an answer.

"Uhh, what if we had a paper between our lips and pulled it off? That would be ok, right?" He has the weirdest ideas and you just hold your friend as she shakes: "FUCK YOU PERVERT! If I'd ever want to kiss you, you'd better fuck me too! I don't want you to fucking think of me like a fucking object! I WON'T KISS A BOY GODDAMMIT!"

You let go of her and tear up - this one was really bad and even you feel terrified. George looks sad, but in the boyish way. Romina looks away biting her teeth and Iris is crossing her arms. "I'm sorry... I just don't want to kiss you, that's it..." You find her hand and try to calm her down and she jumps on you and cries hard.

Iris gets up and leaves, so does Romina. George leaves and chuckles: "I mean... I could have sex with you if you want..." You can't believe it and look at him angrily. "Yeah... Let's do it..."

Her sudden comment makes you gasp but she shushes you and whispers in your ear. You remember the love potion and quickly give her the little bottle.

You feel like you are dreaming and look at the red haired witch whose eyes are blank. You don't want to leave her alone so even if this crazy thing would actually happen you want to stay with her.
