Thomas rolls a 5.

Thomas looks at the dice and hesitates before rolling.

“Just roll.”

“I know! But this game is so fucked.”

“Too late to back out now, you said it yourself, we gotta finish if we wanna turn back to normal. Unless you want to permanently be a woman.”

“I mean, there’s nothing wrong with being a woman.” Thomas quickly fires back.

“We didn’t say that, but how would you explain what happened to anyone outside of this room and make it make sense.”

“Yeah yeah yeah…”

Thomas takes a deep breath before she rolls the die onto the table. The die rolls around until five dots are faced upwards.

“YES! LET'S GO!” Thomas’ fear quickly subsided as she took the lead of the game. She happily grabs her piece and moves it to a green space ahead of everyone else.

“Aw fuck. Another green effect.”

“At least it's affecting only you and not everyone here.”

“Well yeah, but if the green effect is as bad as the one you rolled.” Thomas says while pointing at Joel.

“Then chicken out.” Yonah utters.

“Hell no. It’s too early in the game.” Thomas retorts.

“Yeah no, I would rather everyone try and make it to the end to improve our odds of coming out of this game as we originally were.” Seth says.

Thomas grabs the green card from the deck and reads out the next rhyme.

–

“A new player has taken the lead,

Too early for a win guaranteed.

Soft to the touch and fun to hold,

Soon you’ll have more assets to extoll.”

–

“Welp, good luck figuring this one out Thomas.”

“What does ‘extoll’ even mean?”

Yonah pulls up her phone to look up the meaning while Thomas continues to look at the card, rereading the riddle.

“Ahem. Extoll: to praise or celebrate something or someone highly.” Yonah explains to the group.

“So, you’ll have assets that someone will praise.”

“Okay…but what the fuck will that mean though?”

“Seems like there's only one way to find out.” Ashton casually voices.

“Damn, I would’ve liked to know what happens before continuing.”

“Hey, sometimes you gotta take a leap of faith. Ashton continued without thinking about it.”

“Okay, but Ashton does that a lot, and most of the time it bites her back. She got lucky this time.”

“Skill diff.”

“Bruh, you can’t say skill diff when I’m now in the lead.”

“You aren’t in the lead until you say you continue.”

“...fine. ‘I Continue’.”

Thomas finally utters the game’s confirmation. Thomas looks at the back of the card and sees that it has faded to black, confirming that the effect has activated.

“Well…?” Joel poses the question to Thomas.

“I don’t know, I don’t feel anyth…” Thomas stops mid-sentence. Her eyes go wide as she realizes that the effect is now happening. She felt a pressure building up in her. A blush breaks out as she feels where this pressure is accumulating. She gets antsy in her seat, as she is constantly adjusting how she's sitting.

“Ummmm…give me a moment.”

She stands up and quickly runs out of the room. She makes her way to the room next door and quickly sits down again due to her breathing so fast. She takes a quick peek behind her and sees it. Her butt has gotten larger and started to stretch her jeans across the new ample flesh.

“That’s what the game meant by assets.”

Thomas thought to herself as she felt the pressure in her butt increase more and more. After about 30 seconds, it finally subsides and she is left with a butt bigger than before. She feels relieved finally, and stands up to examine it further. Luckily there is a mirror in the room she’s in. She gets up to face it and turns her booty to it. Her jeans surprisingly held up to the growth, but now sit lower on her waist than before.

A voice then yells out from the other room; “You okay?!”

Thomas snaps back from a mesmerizing staring contest with her new butt.

“Oh, ummm, yeah. It’s over.” she shouts back.

“What happened?!”

“UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.”

Thomas gets extremely nervous about her new change. All of her new friends were previously guys who were attracted to women. Now that Thomas has the booty of a woman that she would’ve found attractive, how would the others react.

“Shit bro. I don’t wanna tell them what happened. Fuck. I can’t hide it though! I just gotta walk back and own up to it. I just hope they’re not weird about it.”

Thomas mentally prepares herself, after overthinking the situation a bit. She tries to pull up her pants to where they sat before the card effect, but found that the jeans are just too tight now.

“Shit…” she whispers to herself. She’s just gonna deal with how her jeans fit now. After taking a deep breath, she leaves the room back to where the others are. Unbeknownst to her now, she now walks with a bit of a sway with her hips. The moment she walks back in, all eyes are on her and follow her until she sits back down in her spot. She sits a little higher now that she has more cushion to sit on.

Thomas doesn’t say anything, but Ashton is the first to break the awkward silence.

“Nice ass.” with a thumbs up.

“Thanks…”

Thomas grabs the dice and hands them to Joel.

“Just go.”
