Game #0 - Round 1

Tossing the dice out onto the coffee table I watched it bounce a couple of times before coming to rest. "Three it is!" The man motioned towards the deck of cards and 9 cards shot out from the deck and spread themselves across the table. "Well Adam, what do you think?"

My eyes quickly scanned the cards in front of me. "Amazonian Fitness and Hands On would be good..." I thought as my eyes made a second pass. "But I need to avoid Looking Pregnant... And Valley Girl..."

"Like Adam... What are you totally going to do?" The man asked in a very valley girl cadence. I rolled my eyes at his comment and continued to study the cards. "Hey dummy. Have you thought of looking up at your options?" The man elbowed me in the arm and pointed at the TV.

Looking up at the TV I read options displayed on the screen. "So how does this work? If I pick an option up there that says pay 1 mana, it pulls from her mana pool?"

"Well look at you. You can read." The man's voice dripped with condescension.

"Okay then what does the mana option do? What does gain 1 bonus mean?" I asked looking over towards the man.

He let out a sigh. "So many fucking questions..." He shook his head. "If you choose that option Katelyn gets 2 mana added to her mana pool and I add one card to the bonus round." The man briefly stopped as he read my mind. "Yes, there is a bonus round after the regular 4 rounds and in that round there is no redraw, pick 1 more, or pick 1 less option. And it's 12 cards instead of 9 cards." The man again paused as he read my mind. "Yes, if you don't use the +2 mana option you can avoid the bonus round, but what's the fun in that." He pointed back down at the cards in front of me. "So, what are you going to do?"

Though I wanted to avoid a few of the cards in front of me, I knew that only a couple cards would give me the opportunity to change Katelyn's physique and one of them was starring me in the face. "I guess let's go with these cards." I said letting out a deep sigh. Suddenly I felt something appear in my hand. Looking down I now held two 9-sided dice in my hand. Letting out one more I sigh I tossed the dice out onto the table. After a couple bounces the dice came to rest on 3 and 9. The Looking Pregnant and Headlights cards slid towards me slightly. "So I just pick?"

"Yup." He slung his arm around me. "So do you want Katelyn to be walking around with a swollen pregnant belly, or would you rather her nipples always be rock hard under her clothes." The man began to laugh when I mentally groaned at my two choices.

"Let's go with Headlights." As soon as the words left my mouth the Headlights card split into three new cards and a 6-sided dice appeared in my hand. Holding it up in front of my face, I could see that the dice only had 1, 2, and 3 on the sides. "Fuck..." I said pausing for a moment and glancing at the TV. Not wanting to waste any mana I tossed the dice onto the table and after a couple bounces it came to a stop on 1. I let out a deep sigh of relief.

"Wow aren't you lucky." The man said. The Headlights: Regular card slid towards me and the other Headlights cards disappeared from the coffee table. The remaining 8 cards slid a bit closer together to fill into the spot once occupied by the Headlights card.

I felt another pair of dice appear in my hand. Looking down at the remaining cards and then back up at the TV I began to debate what to do. "If I miss out on the Amazon card then there's no guarantee it will come back up... And Transform Body is the only other useful one... FUCK IT!" I looked over at the man. "Do it." I instructed and I felt another dice appear in my hand and Katelyn's mana pool dropped to 0. I rattled the dice in my hand a couple of times before tossing them out onto the table. When they came to a stop I saw that my options were 2, 4, and 5. Seeing the Amazonian Fitness card slide forward I instantly pointed at it. The card magically split into 5 options and I let out another sigh, because I had forgotten how treacherous the card could be.

The man began to chuckle. "Just think." The man reached down and tapped the Plump card with his finger. "You could lock Katelyn in at her current size. Or! Maybe bump her up to plus sized!" The man let out an evil laugh, knowing that I had zero interest in either of those cards.

Trying to stay focused my eyes bounced between the 5 cards in front of me and my options on the screen. Feeling only two dice in my hand and seeing Katelyn's mana pool at zero I began to contemplate buying mana so that I could buy one more dice.

"Do it!" The man said rubbing his hands together. "You know you want to."

"Fine. I'll take +2 mana and use that to buy another dice." I watched the TV screen update and I felt another dice appear in my hand. Giving the dice a brief rattle in my hand I tossed them out on the table.

I pumped my fist in celebration seeing two 5's and a 4. "Fuck yeah!" I blurted out as I watched the Slim and Gym Bunny cards slide out. Rereading my two options I began to debate which one I would prefer. "Slim would be nice, but a toned body would be so sexy... Then again do I want to be weaker than Katelyn?... Shit..." Picking up the Gym Bunny card I turned towards the man. "How much can I dictate with this one?"

The man grinned at me and shook his head. "So many questions... With that card you can tell me how muscular or fit you would like her to be, and her strength with be made to match that. If you want to get topped by a freakishly muscular Amazon, I can do that. If you just want to raw dog a CrossFit chick, then I can make that happen too."

"Gym Bunny it is." I said sitting the card next to the Headlights: Regular card. The cards on the table rearranged themselves and I felt another pair of dice appear in my hand. Looking back up at the TV I noticed that Katelyn had gained two mana. "Where did that come from?"

"You rolled a pair." The man waved his hand and a pair of dice showing 5's appeared on the table. "Every time you roll a pair, she gets 2 more mana." He waved his hand and the dice disappeared.

"Okay..." I looked at the dice in my hand and down at the cards in front of me. I desperately wanted to avoid the Looking Pregnant and Valley Girl cards. Looking back up at the TV my eyes lingered on the 2 mana I could potentially use. "Let's do it. Let's use that 2 mana and buy another dice." I instantly felt another dice in my hand and Katelyn's mana pool dropped back down to 0. Giving the dice a couple shakes I tossed them out onto the table. When they came to a stop I saw 3, 4, and 6. The Looking Pregnant, Giggly, and Hands On cards slid forward. Instantly ignoring the Looking Pregnant card my eyes alternated between the Giggly card and Hands On card.

The man leaned over to speak into my ear. "That sounds fun doesn't it." My eyes lingered on the lewd picture on the card. "Just think, every time you grope her breasts you'd being doing her a favor." I closed my eyes and briefly rubbed my temples. "You know you'd enjoy that more than the giggly card."

I let out a sigh and opened my eyes. He was right and I knew it. "Fine... Hands On it is..." I looked over to Katelyn who was still in a baked stupor. "Sorry..." I said looking back down at the cards in front of me. The remaining 6 cards vanished in a poof and the Headlights: Regular card slid into the center of the coffee table.
