Game #0 – Bonus Round Part 1

“Now then.” The man popped up from the futon. “The Bonus Round!” He announced with a grin on his face. “And lucky for you Kate, Adam spent like a drunk sailor trying to land a lady-boy in Thailand.” The man pointed at the TV and a 6 appeared in the middle of the screen. “That is to say, you’ll be getting 6 cards this round and Adam doesn’t really have any options left since your mana pool is currently at 1.”

A chill ran down my spine as Kate tightened her grip on my thigh. I had gotten so caught up in the minutia of each round I had forgotten that all of those times I had bought mana came at a price. “Shit.” I sighed as 12 cards appeared on the table and I felt a pair of dice in my hand. Glancing up at the screen I saw I no longer had the option to pick one less. I paused for a moment and let out another sigh before tossing the dice out onto the table.

“A 4 and a 1!” The man said cheerfully. “Now things are really getting fun!”

The Notice Them and Takes One to Know One cards slid forward and Kate leaned in to read each of them. Already knowing how powerful each of the cards were, I sighed and slumped back onto the futon. "Fuck.” I grumbled rubbing my temples.

“So Adam, which one will it be?” The man asked grinning at me. “O and do tell us the logic behind your choice.”

I pointed at the Notice Them card and tried to not saying anything, but my explanation came spilling out anyways. “I decided not to choose Takes One to Know One because that could potentially transform me into a copy of Kate and I don't’ want that to happen to me because that would be awful. I would rather Kate have to deal with regularly exposing her breasts, because at least that means I get to see he perky little tits on a regular basis.” By the time my mouth shut my face was red and the 6 Notice Them cards had spread out on the table.

Kate shook her head at my explanation and leaned forward to read the new cards. “All of these...” Kate’s eyes continued to read the cards. “All of these cards sound horrible.”

“Well for you maybe.” The man chuckled. “But I gotta be honest, I love seeing a perky pair of titties.” I felt the pair of dice appear in my hand. “Let’s see what she gets” The man slapped me on the back and I tossed the dice onto the table.

Clinking to a stop I saw a 4 and a 6. The Notice Them: Whoops and Notice Them: Cannot be Contained cards slid forward. “Fuck yeah cannot be contained!” I said at the sight of the Notice Them: Cannot be Contained card. “Shit I said that out loud. SHIT!” I blurted out realizing that I still couldn’t contain my thoughts.

“So Adam is that the card you are going with?” The grinned and I nodded yes. “O really? Do tell why you chose that card.”

“Because I kind of have a bit of a breast expansion fetish and the thought of Kate’s tiny breasts rapidly growing into a pair of massive perky tits is sexy as hell to me. I’ve got a chubby just thinking about it.” My hands shot up and covered my mouth as I regained control of my body.

“Remember he’s trying to help you Kate.” That man said wickedly as Kate’s head hung low and a tear ran down her cheek. “What’s her problem?” The man elbowed me and I felt another pair of dice appear in my hand. “Just throw them, you don’t have any other options.”

I tossed the dice onto the table and they came to a stop on 6 and 7. The Height and Gullible cards slid forward. “O...” I thought seeing the Gullible card.

”You would be doing her a favor by taking that card.” The man’s voice could be heard in my head. ”Just tell her this night never happened and she’ll believe you. Problem solved.” Out of the corner of my eye I could see the man staring at me. ”A true friend would select that card.” He winked at me and grinned.

I glanced over at Kate who still looked devastated by my last choice. “That one.” I said pointing at the gullible card. Seeing which card I had selected Kate silently slumped back onto the couch. I was going to tell her I’m sorry, but at this point it wasn’t going to help things. The remaining cards closed the gap left by the Gullible card and I felt another pair of dice appear in my hand.

Tossing the dice onto the table I saw that I had rolled a 4 and an 8. The On Switch Stuck and The Shortest Stack cards slid forward. “Not a lot of good options in the Bonus Round huh.” The man said chuckling at me. “I guess you shouldn’t have spent so willy-nilly earlier.”

Being presented with another pair of bad options I decided to go with On Switch Stuck. ”At least she can kind of live a normal life...” I told myself. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the man shaking his head no. Feeling the next pair of dice appear in my hand I rolled them out on to the table.

Rolling a 6 and a 9, the Choker and Show the Goods cards slid forward. “Kate how you doing over there?” The man asked Kate who still looked despondent from my earlier choices. “Come on if you don’t perk up, I will **** you to perk you up.” Kate sighed and leaned forward to see my two choices. “Which one should he pick?”

“The goods.” Kate said as her teary eyes lingered on the card.

“Let go with that one.” I said pointing to the Show the Goods card, which I had planned on picking any ways.

“For being such a good sport I given you two crazy kids a gift.” The man pointed at the TV. I could see her mana pool was now up to 4. “No string attached, because that’s the type of guy I am.” He said smiling at us.

“Um I guess let me buy a dice.” I said. Feeling three dice in my hand I tossed them out onto the table. “Damn it.” I said seeing two 3’s and a 2. The Underboob and Sideboob cards slid forward. I let out a sigh not knowing which one to go with.

“Ooooo that’s a tough one huh.” The man chuckled. “Hey Kate. Those tops are really going to make working out fun, aren’t they?” I looked over at Kate who let out a little groan.

The man’s comment seemed to trigger an idea in my head. “Wait... Her breasts are perfectly perky and will never sag... That would mean she doesn’t need to wear a bra... Which might negate the Lingerie: Push Up card... So both options would work if she’s braless... But which one would be more functional?” My eyes drifted back towards the man who was smiling at me.

”Clever boy.” The man’s words could be heard in my head.

“So sideboob or underboob... I guess sideboob seems a bit more functional...” In my head I could see Kate wearing T-shirts with the sleeves cut off, or extremely revealing tank tops. “I guess I'll go with that one...” I pointed at the Sideboob card. Seeing my choice Kate looked down at her small breasts and let out another sigh.

Seeing that her mana pool was back up to 4 from the pair that I rolled I mentally told the man to buy another dice and I tossed all three of them onto the table. When they came to a stop I saw a pair of 5’s and an 8. The Height card and On Your Knees card slid forward. “Height.” I said having zero interest in the effects of the On Your Knees card.

The 7 height cards spread themselves out across the table. I briefly considered buying another dice, but it didn’t seem worth it just to avoid the 6’7” and 4’9” options. I tossed the two dice out onto the table. Rolling a 3 and a 7, the 5’7” and 4’9” cards slid out. “Easy choice.” I said pointing at the 5’7” card. Glancing over at Kate I could still see she was devastated by how this round was going, but at least she didn’t groan at my selection.

The remaining cards closed the gap left by the Height card. “One more roll Adam.” The man announced grinning at me. “And look at all of the awesome cards left!”

The man had once again been listening to my thoughts, because I hated the cards that were left. Seeing I had enough mana to buy another dice I decided to do it so that maybe I could avoid the cards I really despised. Looking at the three dice in my hand I closed my palm, shook them a couple times, and tossed them out onto the table. I winced seeing a 3, 4, and 7. The Takes One to Know One, Outgrown, and On Your Knees cards slid forward.

“Hey Kate which one do you think he’s going to choose?” The man motioned with his finger for her to look at the cards and she immediately lean forward to read the cards.

“He’ll probably pick Outgrown...” Hearing such a defeated voice coming from such a toned muscular body was so odd to me.

My eyes darted between the three cards several times, but they finally came to a stop on Takes One to Know One. “That card I said pointing at it.” Kate looked back at me with a somber confused look. “After how this has all played out it’s only fair if I choose something that could negatively impact me.” I said feeling somewhat proud of myself for selecting a card this didn’t negatively impact Kate.

“How chivalrous of you.” The man waved his hand and the extra cards disappeared from the table. “I mean you have turned sweet Katelyn into a submissive tomboy with inflatable tits, but good for you for picking something that might impact you at some point.” The man’s cynical words deflated the sense of good I was feeling.
