"1 Orange" Said Autumn playing it safer now that she was the only one with a doubloon.

"2 Reds" Claire was happy to put a card down and change the color just with mess with her best friend's plan.

Johnathan played it safe, again. "3 Reds"

"One day you will learn how to live a little... 6 Reds"

Robert considered risking with a call, but after her girlfriend's change he decided against it. He knew how much Autumn loved her dark gloomy looks. He loved her new hair, but she didn't. And he didn't want any change to himself that he would regret later. He revealed and discarded a blue die, put down a red card, then claimed "6 Blues"

"Ballsy... I admire it" Whispered seductively Autumn before remembering about her hair and returning moody. "7 Blues" Her voice was unsure, but she wasn't bluffing. She had a blue face.

"Mhhh..." Mumbled Claire. She could afford some risk, given her golden die. "8 Blues"

Johnathan counted quickly. Robert could have 3 or 4 blues in hand, given that he discarded one with such boldness. He claimed 6 so in the best case scenario he hoped that two vacant blue would be around. Both Autumn and Claire had claimed they had one. He had none. It all rested in Rosa's cup to be sure. Still, his hand was terrible and he had a better chance calling the bluff. He looked up at Claire, the cool influencer with looks and skills to drown in it. He stumbled a bit with his words... He though about it a bit more, then... "9 Blues" He couldn't do it.

"Now, that is ballsy!" Claire smiled, the guy was cute, he should take care of his looks a bit more, but she was willing to give him a chance... if only he could muster more then a timid _Hi _while keeping eye contact with her. He hoped that her words would encourage him a little to be a bit bolder in general.

Great, now she thinks I'm an idiot

Redder then ever he didn't even look at Rosa to feel the disapproving look her friend was giving him. "Come on, turn over that cup..." They tallied the numbers and he wasn't even that far from the truth. If only Robert hadn't discarded the die earlier he could have passed the round.

Blue card plus gift and modifier:
Just like a figurehead: You gain two cursed doubloons. Just like a ship's figurehead, your body is to be displayed front and center, for everyone to admire.
East to West: Keep this card indefinitely. The player can chose to gain one cursed doubloon to completely invert the effects of any target orange, blue or red card changes when one of them is drawn.
Twice as strong: If one of the drawn cards this turn is a orange, blue or red card then their effect will be twice as strong. If there are multiple the player can decide which card is affected.

He wasn't sure about how mental changes were supposed to take effect, but this one wasn't so bad... At least it would give him a bit of confidence, he figured. He looked down at himself and his baggy shirt and loose pants... no, those wouldn't do. Without thinking he quickly excused himself from the rest of the group and went out the kitchen to the rest of the party.

"So... your hair... looks cool..." Rosa tried to strike a conversation with Autumn, but was quickly shut down by a **** glare.

When John returned to the room she didn't know what to expect but this was tame in comparison of what she was thinking. He had completely lost the shirt and doublet combo and was wearing a really small sleeveless jacket, his pale and boney chest visible to all. He had also opted for some tight leather shorts, probably belonging to some girl from the other room. His posture had changed as well, with a bit of a confident strut and keeping his shoulders high. He still went red as a pepper the moment he sat down next to Claire, but progress...

"Sorry for the wait. I needed to find something more comfortable. I guess it's my turn to start."
