Liz volunteers a friend of hers

"Right here! But lets change up the game okay?"

Alyssa looked over to see Liz, her roommate, with her hand held high. Puzzled, amused, and definitely curious, she pressed further.

"Liz, this is unexpected for sure, I didn't think you were into this kind of thing!"

"Oh I'm not!" Liz quickly explained, "At least aside from spectating, but I have a champion here who might give you a run for your money, or, clothes I guess!"

Liz gestured to a girl who she had been standing next to. She was short, wearing a hoodie and baggy jeans. Sporting green hair and a very shy demeanor, this girl did not strike Alyssa as the type to be willing to be seen in a bikini at the pool, let alone totally naked at a party.

"This is Maeve! Maeve, meet Alyssa, she's my roommate. She's also pretty bad at games, so try to go easy on her, ok?"

Alyssa gave a reassuring wave to the shy girl, Maeve seemed totally shocked by Liz's suggestion."

"Nice.. to meet you.." Maeve finally mumbled, her voice almost completely drowned out by the surrounding chatter. "I don't think beer pong leaves me with very good odds here, honestly I mainly prefer video games, or cards if you want to try that. Honestly.. I didn't really think she was going to volunteer me like that.. I was just watching you and Jaime, and said it looked a little fun."

Alyssa was charmed, if not a little embarrassed on behalf of Maeve. She had her share of introvert friends, and it wasn't easy for any of them to risk being the center of attention. Liz may as well have thrown a spotlight on her.

"Its a pleasure Maeve. I think we could have a lot of fun if you're up for taking a risk. I'm not going to pressure you, but hell, if you really want it. You pick the game, you pick the rules, the stakes, all of it."

Maeve finally lifted her eyes from the floor and looked at Alyssa. She wore a nervous grin as she said, "I accept... I promise I'll set it up to your standards."

The shy girl whispered into Liz's ear. Liz smiled, then laughed, only pulling away to whisper back to Maeve. After about a minute, Liz broke from her huddle and shouted, loud enough for the room to hear.

"Okay listen up! This next game is Maeve vs. Alyssa! Game of choice is Mario Kart, a grand prix. Winner takes the loser's outfit, and we start a bonfire with it in the backyard!"

Alyssa was amazed, is Maeve secretly a hardcore pervert? She watched her whisper again into Liz's ear. Liz added,

"Oh yeah! Winner also gets to request a rematch if she so chooses!"

Definitely a hardcore pervert, Alyssa concluded. This was tough, and the last clause was totally just a way to punish her for having more clothes to bet. But she wasn't going to feel defeated now. Alyssa wasn't much of a gamer, but she could at least get one more lucky fluke tonight right?
