Play round three.

Your hand is: [9 of Stars, 10 of Eyes]

The flop is: [J of Shields, 8 of Shields, Q of Eyes]

Wow! I got a straight already. Eight, nine, ten, jack, queen. I better make sure I don't show it on my face. This is a pretty damn good hand, and we're still on the flop.

Things are getting a little more intense now. While you still feel the same tension between Trin and Malakae, everyone is inspecting one another. The two dragons especially seem nervous about losing anything else. Even Delphi, who started this whole thing, seems a little worried, though very excited as well. None of them can afford to even lose a hand now. You're entirely in the advantage. If you wanted, you could play to the end with any hand, because nobody is going to want to fold if it means becoming naked anyway.

You deal the turn: [8 of Dragons]

You tap your fingers on your face-down cards. "Hmm. Well, I call. You gotta go all in sometimes, right? Though I guess we aren't playing with chips. Maybe if the game master is feeling generous though, she'll let you all wear the chips instead. Better than nothing."

Trin fidgets around in her seat. She rolls her eyes and shrugs. "Yeah. I agree. Might as well go all in. I call."

Delphi slides her hands together. "I may have started at a disadvantage, but you see, no matter what article of clothing I take from a win, I can cover my whole body with it." She snickers sits back with her legs strategically crossed over one another to censor the lacking of something beneath. "I call."

Malakae, without hesitation, responds with, "I call as well".

"All right. Here we go." You draw the final card: [8 of Eyes]

Delphi stands up once again to get a better look at what was placed down.

"Check this out," you say before revealing your straight. "Can anyone beat that?"

Trin grins wide. She looks at you with a devious snicker. "You can't beat a dragon in a fight, nor can you beat a dragon in a game! Sorry Kyle. You've been kind to me, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna hold back." She then flips her hand over to reveal: [K of Shields, K of Stars]

"A full house," Delphi says. "Impressive. That beats your hand, Kyle."

"Well I'll be damned. Fair enough," you reply.

Delphi sighs and kicks her cards forwards. "I wouldn't have beat either of you with my two pair. What about you, Malakae?"

The gold dragon makes a strange, nervous sound beneath her breath. She tries not to make eye contact with anyone she focuses all her energy on not turning radiant red. Though the longer this pause goes on, the more awkward it becomes. She tries to speak, but her voice cracks at first. "I--" She clears her throat. "I suppose one round does not d-determine the uhm... th-the war."

Trin's smile somehow turns even wider. She leans forward on her elbows and stares directly at Malakae from across the table. "Oh noo. It looks like you're gonna have to take a couple things off~. Meanwhile, I'll take... this." She plucks her own panties up from the table. It seems her confidence has left her careless, however. When she stand, she accidentally lifts her qipao a bit too quickly and gives you a brief flash of what's uncovered beneath. Immediately, she turns red and tries to save face. She peers around, but nobody seems to have noticed except for you. She looks to you with pleading eyes as she wiggles the underwear back up her legs. "Y-You don't have to stare."

"Oh yes we do," Delphi comments. "It's most of the fun."

She shrinks back as she notices everyone now watching her intently. With one final jerk, she squeezes the underwear back around her hips, and then sits back down.

"Anyway, I'm the one really in trouble here." She takes hold of her dress as she looks between the three others watching. It seems both Malakae and Trin have grown more quiet, given this is the first time in the game someone's about to potentially go nude. With a deep breath, she takes takes hold of the shoulders of her dress. She then slides them both off at the same time, grips the fabric, and yoinks it straight down to her feet.

Delphi now stands there... wearing a pair of black panties, and a tiny matching tube top around her bosom.

"Hey! You said--" Trin starts to speak.

"Ooh. I forgot I was wearing my double-panties today, and my special undergarment that I never otherwise wear," Delphi interrupts her. "Oopsies. I guess that buys me at least one more round, huh?"

I'm not surprised.

"This is ridiculous," Malakae mutters. She stands up from her seat, though doesn't seem to be undressing. "F-For a dragon of my status to be doing something so uncouth. I believe it would be foolish of me to go any further."

"Ah. So you're afraid," Trin says.

"Bawk bawk!" Delphi mocks.

The gold dragon turns away, though you can feel her frustration growing by the second. "N-No. I'm not... Whatever!" Remaining the other direction, she reaches beneath her qipao and plays out Trin's motion almost exactly. She moves carefully as to not reveal too much, and carefully slides her black panties down from her hips, and lets them slip to her feet. She squats when she bends down to grab them so that she doesn't moon the entire table, and then she reaches over and drops the garment on top of the rest. Now that she's facing you all again, you can see her face burning red. Her legs wobbles. Her breathing is stuttered. "N-Next round..."

"Nuh uh," Delphi says. "You didn't fold before the last card was placed. That means you need to take off two things."

"No! I--" Realizing the pixie is one hundred percent correct, she isn't sure how to argue.

"Go on," Trin taunts. "I thought dragons would never fear something like this."

"Hmm. You did say that," you add.

Unable to face the rest as she does it, she turns away once again. Next you're given quite the tantalizing show. Malakae, as bratty as she can be, is a gorgeous woman nonetheless, in a combination of a dragon's natural beauty as well as how she dresses and composes herself. She takes hold of the dress. As she pulls up the back, you watch as her scaley gold tail slowly retreats through its hole. The top of her legs are quickly revealed, as the garment barely covered them to begin with, but then her bare ass is next. You stare mesmerized at her perky round cheeks, especially as they wiggle about in her nervous stature. Now that her tail is free, she pulls it up, showing her sexy bare back. Then at last, she removes it from atop her head. Though she's face around, you can still see the bounce of her voluptuous bust now entirely uncovered. In fact, everything is. She has nothing else left to wear. Malakae squirms in place, knowing she must continue to play the game even in the nude, as the alternative is to leave this room where it'll only get worse.

She turns back around with one arm squeezing over her naked breasts, and the other to hold a hand in front of her pussy. She shivers as she makes her way back to the chair. Once seated, she scoots it in extra close, as to use the table itself to help cover herself up. Her face is as red as the most ripe tomato.

Delphi giggles. "You know, you're supposed to place it in the middle of the table."

"I r-refuse to stand back up," Malakae replies.

You chuckle and reach over to lift the dress from the ground, giving you quite the view from below.

Still covering herself up, albeit barely, she glares down at you. "Th-This is not a show for you to enjoy."

"You could have picked it up yourself then," you say before laying it down over everything else.

Delphi lays on her back as she peers up towards you. "Remember, Kyle. You lost after the final draw too~!"

She's right. With a sigh, you stand up from your seat. The first thing you remove is your other sock, which you also toss onto the growing pile of clothing in the center of the table. Next you have a choice--pants, shirt, or the stocking you wear around your neck. You bring your hands up to the highest bottom of your blue top, and you notice all three girls watching you intently. Slowly, you unbutton your shirt, slowly revealing your bare skin and fit body. After the final one at the bottom, you pull it open. Regardless of how you may appeared when you first came to Abso, you're certainly toned now. You remove the top with confidence, partially fold it, and give it a toss onto the rest. You then sit back down, still with Trin's white stocking over your shoulders.

Trin purses her lips and shrugs. "I guess this game is kinda fun."
