Gradual Escalation

"Ugh yuck." Mary complains as she sips her coffee, complete with Barbara's spit.

I grin from under the table, knowing that this is merely the beginning for these two cunts. I can still remember when I caught Mary secretly spitting in my coffee that one time, and learned that she'd been doing it every day since I started there. I wonder if she even remembers, or if I was just one of several interns that she routinely bullied.

TIME STOP

I stop and restart time a few times to check how Mary is progressing with her coffee. It takes her some time, but she's diligent about it, clearly wanting to make sure she earns those points and avoids the forfeit. In the end, her mug is so empty that you can barely tell it had coffee in it.

I drop a four board game tokens in the mug, and wait for her to discover them.

TIME START

"What the fuck." She says with a shaky voice when she discovers them. "What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck."

It's time to remove any lingering doubt that this is 'magic', and not some clever trick by a very talented sleight of hand expert.

TIME STOP

The next cards I write, I slot into their cleavage. They'll notice them instantly, and there'll be no doubt in their minds that they just spontaneously appeared.

TIME START

"Nnyyyaaa!" Barbara squeals, as Mary squeaks.

"Oh my god oh my god oh my god." Barbara whimpers. "It's real. It's real. It's fucking real!"

"What do we do?!" Mary asks, panicked.

Barbara reads her newest challenge card.

"Challenge: Obtain Mary's panties, and stuff them in your mouth. Earns 5 Karma Points.

"Forfeit: Slutty Secretary."

Mary reads hers.

"Challenge: Wet yourself while wearing your panties. Earns 2 Karma Points.

"Forfeit: Swirlie."

"These are getting worse." Barbara comments.

"What do we do?!" Mary asks again, still panicked.

"We could make a run for it?" Barbara suggests. "Maybe it only has power near the box."

There's a pause, and then I hear them both running for the door. I don't stop time immediately - I wait until I hear the door click open, and then I give it a couple of seconds for them to have opened the door fully.

TIME STOP

I slip outside with my suitcase, and hide it in the women's toilets.

I restart time briefly until I hear the door close, and then I stop it again and go and check on my victims. They have elected not to wait for the elevator, and are already down the first set of stairs.

I sigh. Time for me to test my strength, and carry them both back up.
