Things become more manageable, but worse

James tossed the dice, and they landed on a 10. He moved his piece, and everyone looked at the screen.

"All these changes can take their toll,
All players now embrace their roles."

"What does that mean?" Linda asked. "Is it going to mess with our minds?"

"I... don't know," James said.

"I don't really feel any different," Bill said.

"Me either," Vanessa agreed.

"Something to keep an eye out for," James said, looking around. "Jesus, this is stressful. I think I need a drink," he said.

"I think we all could," Linda said. She then looked at Bill. "Maybe you shouldn't, though?"

"I'm an adult," Bill said. "I can handle a drink."

"So... one for everyone?" James asked.

"Yeah, but just a small one for me," Linda said. "Too much will wreak havoc on my figure." Vanessa nodded, seemingly agreeing.

A few moments later, each of the players had a drink (all of which were quickly downed),and gameplay resumed.

"I guess it's my turn again," Vanessa said.

"You go ahead, I'm gonna run to the bathroom," Bill said.

Vanessa nodded, then grabbed the dice.
