Touching the Orb

"Well that sounds easy enough. And it seems kind of fun." Hunter says.

"Of course you'd say that." Crystal teases.

"Cassandra, John what do you two think? You guys haves been awfully silent." Owen brings up.

"I will admit, I am curious to see it in action. It claims to be magical, I want to see why." Cassandra answers.

I think for a moment before answering. The rules definitely seemed strange. Some of the cards seem pretty normal, but even then the language made them seem odd in some way. It's likely for different reasons, but I think I'm curious to see how it works too. Plus it seems that it may lead in a very... sexual direction, and I definitely wouldn't mind seeing some of my friends in that way. My eyes landing on Crystal. "Well, I say we give it a try. It did say we can stop at any time, so it's not like we can't do something else if it sucks." I smirk.

"Always the optimist." Hunter says sarcastically.

"So should we touch the 'orb' then?" Bryan asks.

All of us are already in a circle of sorts. I look around at us. To my left would be Bryan, standing near my chair. Then Alex still sitting on the ground. Then Hunter sitting on her own chair. Blake is kneeling between her chair and the couch. Cassandra is first in line on the couch. Crystal sits beside her. Owen beside her. Then it's back to me.

Alex shrugs and sets his fingertips on the orb, his soft pink fingernails making a large contrast with the dark orb. Hunter is second. Everyone else starts to follow. Bryan's large fingers. Crystal's French tips. Owen's calloused fingers. Cassandra's black finger nails. My own basic fingers. And finally Blake's skinny digits.

Suddenly the orb lights up in a soft white glow. All of us retract our hands. The orb then shows words within. Alex Hunter Bryan Crystal Owen Cassandra John Blake

"Whoa, that was cool." Hunter says.

"It was likely a simple projection from within. Crystal, you must have set it up before hand, didn't you?" Blake states.

"I didn't do a thing." Crystal defends. Blake just gives her a doubtful look, but leaves it be.

Then the orb lights up once more. It has chosen who's first. A single name on the orb in large white, bold letters.

Author's Note: Thank you so much for reading this far already. This is my first story on this site, so I hope I can make something you all enjoy. I'm hoping to make this story as long, and fun as possible. Feedback is always appreciated, both positive and negative. Just please be civil. Any Ideas are also appreciated, whether it's an idea for the very next chapter, or if it's something you'd like to see down the road (A whole scene idea, or just a kink you'd like to see explored). I do plan on making this a quite linear story, but I welcome submissions to anyone that wants to branch it out, this story is definitely made for branching.
