Parrrrrtay!

Johnathan arrived at the party late. Rosa had texted him. She was already here and was already doing her job as the perfect wingman, buttering up Claire and inviting her to play Liar's dice so they could spend some times together.

He shuffled through the most colorful assortments of bandanas he had ever seen so that he could reach the kitchen area of the rented house, where his friend and crush had taken the room. Moving around in these clothes was the worst. He had always been tall and lanky, and at the fair none of the costumes they tried actually looked good on him. At the end they had settled on an oversized Poet Shirt and a blue doublet that was actually too short and ended right above his ribs. To complete his look he had found a wide brim hat with blue and black feathers perched on top.

He stumbled around through mingling people until he got to his destination. Four people were already at the table as Rosa was reading the rules. She had gone for more of a tavern wench type look. Big open shirt + bustier combo so that her round large cleavage was on full display. Her dyed electric red hair were messier then ever. she had decided to fill up on jewelry. Big hoop rings on her ears, a golden necklace filled with sparkling plastic gems, bracelets that made tinkling noises whenever she moved her arms and a lot of rings. "Hey Johnathan! I've read the rules. This game is weird! It makes no sense!"

"Hey dude! We were just waiting for you!" Said a smoky voice. It was coming from Autumn, Claire's best friend. She was wearing gothic flowing robes, dark makeup, and a dark blue bandana over her head just so that she could claim to be in theme. "Actually thanks for being late, so I had the chance to have a smoke before we do whatever kinky shit you to are trying to impart on us"

"Kinky?" Johnathan asked, then he slowly and deliberately moved his sight on Rosa. "Yeah dude! I don't know how you got this game but it's some weird roleplay thing" Said the only other guy sitting at the table. Johnathan never actually interacted with Robert, he was Autumn's boyfriend and a bit of a jackass. He was wearing the cheapest costume you could think of. A red polyester vest over a white shirt and a fake eyepatch. A plastic hook was standing on the table next to him, probably to complete the look.

"I have spent thirty dollars on this shit! I want to at least play it once! Just humor me... at least it will be funny!" Rosa lied through her teeth. She then winked at Johnathan. "Plus it will be a great opportunity to make some new connections..."

Quiet until now, finally Claire decided to talk, and Johnathan went immediately red in the face. "Rosa's right. We could at least try to enjoy it. And maybe it will loosen us up a little." She was wearing by far the best outfit in the party. That was obvious, Claire was a cosplayer and ran a decently size Instagram page. She was wearing a white and green intricate dress, full of frills and ornaments, held tight by a big leather belt and a black corset. Over that she had decided to wear a full heavy coat. Her brunette curls were intricated with jewels, and held tight with a green cloth. She was smiling like she owned the room. And as far as Johnathan was concerned, she could own everything she wanted.

"Can we play now?" Asked Rosa impatiently.
