Words with Fiends - 2

When Kayla finally came to her senses she opened the app back up. She clicked on the store. There was a seemingly endless list of things to spend gems on. Some were boosts for a single game, some were magical changes to her body and she found what she was really looking for. Remove punishment.

• Extra Tile (3 gems) – draw one more letter than usual next game
• Swap Free (5 gems) – exchange tiles once without losing a turn.
• Hint Word (10 gems) – Reveal the best word
• Time Stretch (10 gems) – Doubles your turn length next game
• Fiend’s Favor (20 gems) – Use a PW tile without receiving any punishment
• Energy Refill (5 gems) – removes fatigue; she feels as if she slept eight hours.
• Cash Infusion (15 gems) - Earn $100
• Perfect Hairday (20 gems) - Your hair will always be perfect. No need to comb, straighten or even wash it
• Remove punishment (100 gems)

100 gems. She was nowhere close to that. Was there a way to earn more without playing again?

She clicked on a tab that said challenges and immediately got her answer.

Well that explains all their 5 star reivews. It seemed pretty harmless so she opened the Play Store, found the app, and gave it 5 stars.

When she went back to the game Mammon shot confetti out of a toy gun and cheered for her, then her balance went up to 15 gems.

None of the rest were things she was interested in doing, except turning on her bluetooth. It seemed kind of silly, but it was an easy 3 gems. Still, 18 was a long way from 100.

She wasn't willing to do any of the other challenges she saw, so she ended up shutting down her phone and going to bed. Maybe it was just a crazy depression induced dream and it would be gone tomorrow morning...

She woke with a start. Her alarm was blaring. Fuck. She'd slept in. She shot out of bed and took the quickest shower of her life, then ran back to her bedroom. She grabbed the handle of her top drawer and...

Fuck. It was still sealed shut. She looked at the pile of dirty clothes beside her bed. She could either put on her dirty panties or go commando.

Fuck.

She didn't really want to wear her panties for two full days, and at least her work pants were rather thick. Nobody would know. She put her black pants and finished getting ready.

She didn't have time for breakfast so she just grabbed her bag and hurried out. She did notice that her roommate had come home at some point last night, since her door was closed. The opening/closing of the door was pretty much the only sign she had that she lived with another person. One worked at a coffee shop in the morning, the other at a club at night. They basically never saw each other.

She made it to work just in time. Her stomach growled, but it would have to wait as the first customer entered the store.

"Hi how can I help you?" She whispered.

"Pardon?" The customer couldn't hear her.

"How can I help you?" She tried again, forcing herself to be loud.

"Uh, I'll have a cortado please."

"Anything else?"

He looked at her strangely, "That's it."

"It's $6.00."

"How much?"

"$6!" She tried shouting.

He sighed, "Here's a 10. Keep the change."

She was pretty sure he still hadn't heard her. This faint punishment was too much. How bad was it going to be once the cafe filled up? Nobody would be able to hear here.

She made the cortado and handed it to him. He took it and hurried off, leaving her alone in the cafe. Well, the baker and supervisor were in the back, but she was alone out here.

She whipped out her phone and checked the game. Her heart had refilled and Mammon was grinning at her.

"Ready for level 1? I won't go easy on you this time." Mammon's speech bubble said.

She gulped and clicked start.

This time she didn't try to go for a PW right off the bat. WILD - 16.

Mammon countered with WAGE, also for 16.

She looked at her letters and immediately saw a great word. Then she hesitated. It would mean using a PW tile, but it would be 52 points. What was the point in getting another punishment to remove a punishment?

She changed her mind at the last second and played LATEX for 24, avoiding the PW tile.

Mammon then used her X and the PW tile beside it, EXIT, for 32 points.

"Hey, no fair! I bet you aren't getting a punishment." She complained in a whisper.

Mammon's demonic face grinned, "Did you think I'd play fair? I'm a fiend after all."

She frantically looked for a good word, but she couldn't find anything worth enough points to catch Mammon. Finally with seconds to spare she played HEFT for 14. Not nearly enough points, but she didn't miss a turn at least.

Mammon played FAKE on a DP tile, earning 22 points and gaining a 16 point lead. Of course he'd also left a PW tile wide open.

She could take the lead if she used the PW, but did she dare?

She tapped her foot nervously. Time was ticking.

Fuck. No. She played OVEN on the triple for 21 points. Taking the lead, by 5 points, but avoiding the PW.

Of course she didn't stand a chance. Mammon played OGLED, using a PW tile and earning 28 points.

"You lose!" Mammon said gleefully, "Pick a punishment based on the top 3 words!"

• EXIT
• LATEX
• OGLED

She gulped. Drawer had locked her underwear drawer and Faint had made her quiet. She could imaging that Latex would **** her to dress in latex or something and ogled would probably result in people staring at her. She had no idea what exit could mean, and it was the highest scoring word. Both of those things scared her.

She noticed a timer counting down from 30.

"Pick soon or get all three!" Mammon taunted.

"Fuck." She tapped Ogled.

OGLED - Excuse me, my tits are down here! Nobody will be able to look you in the eyes anymore, preferring instead to stare into your cleavage. Cleavage which will ALWAYS be visible.

She suddenly felt a slight breeze on her chest. She looked down, the two top buttons of her shirt had come undone. Frantically she buttoned them back up.

They didn't stay that way. As soon as she moved her hands away there was a loud rrrrrip! It was like an invisible person had suddenly ripped her shirt open. She stood there, too stunned to move. What the hell just happened?

Her brain finally caught up, she shrieked and pulled her shirt closed. Then she glanced down at her phone.

"Naughty naughty!" Mammon wagged his finger back and forth, "ALWAYS visible. Don't try to cheat, or else!"

She hastily did up the bottom buttons, but left the top 3 undone again. It was rather scandalous for work, not that she had much to look at.

She heard the bell ding and looked up. Another customer. She walked in and her eyes immediately darted to Kayla's chest. She had nearly as much trouble hearing Kayla as the first man did, but not once did she look away. She didn't even seem to find Kayla attractive, it was just that she preferred to look down instead of up.

Her day continued to be miserable. She could barely speak to customers and nobody, not a single person, looked her in the eyes. She'd never been objectified like this before, she hated it.

She finally went on break and slumped down in the chair in the back. She pulled out her phone and opened the game. There had to be some way out of this.

Wait...she was staring at her phone. It was opened to a new game, and someone else had already played two words. What was going on?

Her timer expired and Mammon popped up, "Another missed turn! It doesn't look good! Want to buy some boosts?"

"Huh?" She whispered. She watched as suddenly a third word appeared, then her timer started again.

Who was she playing?

"Confused?" Mammon said, "You've been challenged! Anyone with Words with Fiends can challenge another when they connect over bluetooth! Didn't you read the FAQ?"

"Fuck! Of course I didn't!" Kayla cried. Wait, another human was doing this?

Crap crap crap!

10 seconds!

Then she saw it. She threw down her tiles. The other player had finished a HUMOR one away from the PW tile. Kayla added ZEROS to make HUMORS and get two words on the PW. She thought that might mean two punishments, but what other choice did she have? She would lose without that word. But with it? It was worth an incredible 97 points! She was going to win...

Or so she thought. The opponent suddenly played NECKWEAR. Confetti flew across the screen along with a message 50 POINT BONUS! She'd used all her letters up at once. And she'd hit a double word score too for 84 points. Kayla was losing again, badly. And that was her opponents 4th turn, which mean this was Kayla's last chance.

She need 45 points. Well, that would tie. What happens with a tie? She didn't want to find out. 46 points. In a single word. Crap. She had all 1 point tiles. What the hell was she going to do? Even using the one available PW tile would only get her 28 points. It just wasn't enough!

She suddenly remembered the boosts. She saw an icon and clicked on it and a menu popped up. She spent 10 gems on Hint Word. The game revealed her best option...fuck. 28 points. She'd already found the best word.

She played SIT for 3 points. It wasn't worth another punishment.

"YOU LOSE!" Mammon said bouncing around the screen, "Wait while your opponent picks your punishments!"

Kayla could only stare at her phone, and wait.
