Garth's break

Liam went to pick up the dice but found it was stuck to the table, "Huh...I can't pick it up..." Instead he found his hand grab the nearest card to him. Even though it had a treasure chest on the front, when he turned it over it was completely different, "It says mandatory break period. You must leave the game room now. You will be summoned for your next turn. The game room shall be inaccessible during this time." The card suddenly disappeared from his hand.

Alice was the first to stand up, "I have to go." She grabbed her bra and ran up the stairs. Sophia picked up her pants and hesitated, then decided to make her own run for it. Garth was slower but he too got up and left. Liam stayed for a moment, unsure what to make of everything. Then he felt his body moving of its own violation, his legs carrying him up the stairs and out of the room. Once he was back in the library proper he heard a thud. He regained control of his body and turned around. The door was done. In fact the bookshelf was back in place, like it had never been disturbed.

"Creepy." He said. He walked back to their table, everyone else had already taken their stuff and fled. He grabbed his bag too, and headed home.

Garth looked in the mirror. He kept testing the magic. He tried statements he knew were false. Like saying he was a woman, or he had black hair. No matter how he phrased it he couldn't make it work, he would either clam up or else the word (truthful) words would come out. Then he tried things that he didn't know about. That was easier. It seemed like if he just said something like, "Sophia is wearing pink panties." The words came out fine. He had no idea what she was wearing, but it didn't count as a lie apparently.

He decided he might as well take advantage. He walked out of the bathroom and into the common area. He shared a dorm with 4 others. They each had an individual bedroom, but shared a bathroom and living room. Tina was sitting on the couch and looked up from her book when he entered, "Hi Garth." She said casually.

"Hi Tina. Did you break my PlayStation?" It had mysteriously stopped working when he was in class one day. Obviously one of his roommates had done it, but nobody would fess up.

"Yes." She slapped her hand over her mouth and shook her head, "I mean yes."

"Why? How?" Garth asked.

"I got frustrated. I was angry and...I kicked it. I...I...can't pay you back right now." She said.

"Fuck Tina. I can't buy another one right now. Were you ever going to tell me? Are you ever going to pay me back?"

"No. I wasn't." Tina said. "Shit. Why did I say that. Look, what's done is done. Just get over it. Nobody is going to believe you anyway."

Garth pulled his phone out of his pocket. He ended the audio recording and reset it. Then he hit play and made Tina listen to it.

"Shit. Fuck. Ok. I can't pay you back. My parents would be so pissed if I asked for more money. I'll..." She obviously struggled to say anything at all. She just kept on trying to lie.

"Don't bother lying to me. Hmm...I have an idea. You can give me something for collateral until you pay me back."

"Collateral? Like what? The only things I have worth as much...my phone...my computer...I need those. I don't have any expensive jewelry. Really I just have my clothes. "

"Your clothes then. Your whole wardrobe should do it. You can come and ask me and I'll let you borrow outfits one at a time. Once you buy me a new console, I'll give it all back." Garth grinned.

"Perv!" Tina shouted, standing up. "No way."

Garth shrugged, "I'll wait...30 minutes. If I don't have any collateral after that..." He let the threat dangle. He wasn't actually going to call the cops or anything, better to avoid the lie. He made his way back to his room and waited. 20 minutes later there was a knock at the door. "Come in." He called.

Tina opened the door and entered, pulling a suitcase behind her. "Here." She said.

He looked at it, "Is that all of your clothes?"

"No." She said, "Shit. Fine, I'll grab the rest." She left and returned a few minutes later with a bundle of clothes. She set them down on top of the suitcase. "There. All my clothes are..." She stopped.

He raised an eyebrow, "Is that it? Are all your clothes in that pile and the suitcase."

"No." She said. "I mean no. Grrr."

"Oh, of course," Garth said with a grin. "You are wearing some after all. Take those off and you got a deal."

"What?" Tina shouted, "No way. Just call the cops."

Garth nodded. "I can make that call." He was careful not to trap himself. He could make it, but he won't. He pulled out his phone and started dialing a random number.

"Wait! Ok." She pulled off her t-shirt and pulled down her pants, setting them on the pile. She looked at him seriously, then rolled her eyes, "Fine." She removed her bra and set it on top of the pile. She held her hands out to her sides, "There. See? Tits. Happy now?"

"Hmm...you are still wearing one piece of clothing," Garth grinned. He decided not to push his luck any further. This was already pretty good, "But ok. I accept."

Tina sighed, "May I borrow some clothes to get dressed?"

"Of course," Garth said. She started to pick up the clothes she just took off, "Pick any one item to wear."

"Wait...one? But..." Tina scowled, "Fine. Play that game." She fished out a dress and put it on, "Bastard." She stormed off.

Garth laughed. This was fantastic. He had to get to class but he had to make sure she wouldn't try to cheat their deal. Luckily after his PlayStation was broken he'd brought a secondary lock. As he left he made sure to lock his room up tight. He was already enjoying this game.
