CH1: You Think You Know Someone

“But… the night is not over yet. Now, I would really appreciate you all joining me. Because otherwise you will just get eliminated, which is… boring so early on.” She explains and I hear someone get up and look to my right and to my surprise I see Tatiana’s girlfriend standing up. It’s the girl with the slightly foreign accent and nice braided brown hair. She looks down at her girlfriend who is trying to reach up to her and she says: “I… I am willing. I shall join, for the safety, and for the continuation of the game.” She seems confident and determined. Her girlfriend calls her name as she walks over to Calliope and the two shake hands and Korina even gives Calliope a one-sided hug which makes the leader even a little flustered.

“Korina! Korina!! How could you? You fool! She is not going to let us win!” Tatiana begs desperately as Korina stands unchanged and reaches her arm for her: “Nuh uh. I now realize… we must play instead of thinking in a different way. We have been doing it… wrong, I believe. Pardon. This is definitely the safest way.” She smiles at her girlfriend who isn’t moving. I listen to her but can’t agree with her thoughts. I would be more on the side of Tatiana in thinking that Calliope has no intention to make it fair once we would join her. She is evil, I know she is. She would just exploit us!

Then I feel a hand on my shoulder and it pushing down as to my horror Grace stands up she stands before me and pulls me up but I won’t stand. “What are you doing? Stand up! We will lose otherwise!” Grace whispers angrily and I look up at her with tears in my eyes. “N-no… I.. I can’t. I won’t join her…” Grace backs away while looking at me mouth agape and a weird frown on her face: “You are… actually just going to get eliminated, you know? You know that? Do you seriously want that?” Grace asks without whispering anymore and I can’t even look at her. I have no idea what changed. I don’t know what made her change her mind so quickly, or if she even changed her mind at any point at all. I want to ask her these questions some time. But now I’m overwhelmed by it all. I almost just want it to be all over. I can’t sit here and watch it all crumble around me.

“Hey! Fuck you! We ain’t getting up! You pussies can go suckle on her Calli’s big double dee knockers, but we have backbone, right?!” I look to see the orange haired girl shout. She’s one of the neutralists and I forgot her name. Her words encourage me though and I hear Tatiana continue: “This all sucks anyways! How come you just drag us out of the safe zone? What’s the point of them if you can just push us out? You are worse than not playing! You are playing whatever bullshit game you want!” Calliope fixes her hair and looks at Tatiana: “You can’t just sit in a safe zone all game. That is cowardly, that is punishable behavior. That is outright…” She takes a sharp breath: “That is outright insulting to the game!!” She shouts and I look at Grace who seems conflicted somehow as she stands next to the woman. My friend… Grace turned to their side? I can’t process that, it all feels absurd to even think about.

I hear someone else getting up. It’s the only one who has been quiet all this time. The blonde with the nice puffy pigtails who was with the neutralists earlier too. She clears her throat and asks with a nasally voice: “Hey, Calliope. Tell me. What’s your situation downstairs? I’d like to know.” She smirks and I have to admit that such a thought didn’t even cross my mind. Calliope herself seems surprised and leans on one side a little uncomfortably. “Ehh… shit, fine. I will tell you if you join my side. As I can see, you think of these ‘issues’ as a part of the game…” She says the last part almost like she was insulting the thought – but the issues are exactly what the game is about!

“I got two of them. Ugh…” She seems really bothered to have to explain it and the blonde doesn’t stop: “Two of what? Two dysmorphias? Could you be more specific please.” She must be just teasing her at this point and Calliope laughs dryly: “I have two penises. See?” She places three fingers on her bulge which makes it pretty clear that there’s two members present. The blonde laughs and hops on over to her: “I think that’s kinda sexy. Can we have sex in a saferoom, Calli?” She says and smirks which makes Calliope dumbfounded for a second.

“Sex? What the fuck…?”
