Seth rolls a 3.

Seth reaches over to collect the die, and gives the board a look over before rolling, seeing what possible outcomes she could get. She eyes the brown space, which would require a six to land on.

“We don’t know what that space does, right?”

Everyone looks over at the space Seth was referring to.

“The brown space, no.” Thomas answers.

With a new determination, to get both the lead from Yonah and land on an unknown space, Seth cups her hand and begins tossing the die around inside. After a few shakes, she releases the die from her grasp and the die rolls around until it lands on a 3.

“Dang it.”

The others look over and are relieved.

“Thank god, not a 2.”

“Yellow! Alright” Joel yells out.

Seth quietly moves her piece onto the unoccupied yellow space in between Joel and Yonah’s pieces.

“What does yellow do?” Seth asks Thomas.

“Uh, yellow is…head and face.”

“What does that mean?”

“Once again, I don’t know. This is my first time playing the game like everyone else.” Thomas’ voice has a hint of annoyance.

“Yeah, but you read the rules.”

“The rules didn’t give examples of what the effects could have been. If I would have known, I wouldn’t have decided to participate in this game.” Thomas’ tone of annoyance slowly escalated during that sentence.

“You’ll be the first. The great pioneer into the unknown.” Joel held up her drink.

With satisfaction from both Joel and Thomas’ statements, Seth grabs the yellow card and reads out the rhyme.

–

“A three has stirred some qualms,

But do try to stay nice and calm.

Your complexion is what we care about,

Try some makeup to relieve any doubts.”

–

“Well, that’s pretty forward.”

“So, the game is gonna put makeup on me?”

“That’s what it sounds like.”

“Like, just one thing or the whole thing?” Joel asks.

Everyone turns their attention to Joel in confusion at her question.

“What?”

“You know, there's like eyeliner, eyeshadow, or lipstick. Does it do all of it? Or just one of em’?” Joel poses the question for anyone to answer.

“She needs to continue to find out.” Ashton points at Seth.

“Well this card doesn’t sound that bad, so, ‘I Continue’.”

The card’s color fades away as Seth makes her decision. With an audible puff, the card sprays a small cloud of colorful dust on Seth’s face, concealing it in the process. She’s surprised by this and coughs as she fans the cloud away. After a few moments, the dust gradually fades to reveal Seth’s new looks and the answer to Joel’s question.

Seth’s face has a slight amount of foundation applied to it around her cheeks and under her eyes. Her eyes now are adorned with a red eyeshadow and black eye liner to match her nails. Her lips now have a slight gloss to them, but looks to be unchanged color wise.

Seth blinks multiple times to clear any remaining makeup dust. She looks around to the group who are attempting to look closely at the change. Seth has never worn makeup before and moves her mouth around to feel the makeup slightly adjust on her face. She lightly touches her face to determine how heavily the makeup was applied.

“Is it bad?”

Yonah groans after seeing, what could be considered, a positive effect Seth’s card had on her.

“What the hell?! It looks so good. Why was mine so shitty?”

“Bruh, don’t complain when that dumbass made us all girls.” Ashton points to Joel.

“Also, yours isn’t even bad. Just wear the outfit until we can change back.”

Yonah sits back down and rubs her ankles to relieve the stress of wearing heels.

While Ashton and Yonah bickered, Thomas got close to Seth to look at her face.

“Wow, I wish I had that card effect. It looks good.”

Seth pulls up her camera and looks at herself through the forward camera. She moves it around to see all the changes to her face. She is satisfied with how it looks and puts her phone away, relieved in knowing that she was spared for round one.

“And I’m assuming that I can’t take this off then?” Seth asks Thomas.

Before Thomas could answer, another voice answered for her.

“Bitch, if I can’t take off my heels, you can’t take off your makeup.” Yonah yells out, clearly upset and jealous at Seth’s turn.

“Alright, fine.”

“Sweet, who’s turn is it now then?”

Thomas returns to her spot as Ashton makes a loud groan and grabs the die.
