On one side of the room, you see Carlos has cornered Robert and Mason to relay some anecdote in his usual animated fashion. From the way he has his hands in front of his chest as though he's groping a pair of imaginary breasts, you can guess that this story is about a girl he hooked up with recently. Carlos never seemed to run out of those stories. He liked to joke that, as the frat's token straight member, it was his job to educate the rest of you about the ladies.</p> <p>Mason simply nods along, checking his watch occasionally and making very little attempt to feign interest. Mason is idolized by everyone around the frat. He's an alum from back when Robert's older brother was the frat president, and he's apparently been making a killing in the finance sector.</p> <p>On the other side of the room, the frat's youngest member, Jonah, is sitting on the couch, staring into his beer, and seemingly trying to look as small as possible.</p> <<elseif $char[3].event0 is 0>> <p>You see Carlos has cornered Robert and Mason to relay some anecdote in his usual animated fashion.

Meanwhile, the frat's youngest member, Jonah, is sitting on the couch, staring into his beer, and seemingly trying to look as small as possible.</p> <<else>> <p>The living room is a bustling hub of activity. Some of your frat brothers wander in and out of the large open space while others chat idly, lounging on the well-worn furniture you earliar pushed to one side.</p> <</if>> <<else>> <p>The power is out. It's only by the glow emitting from bizarre etchings in every wall and floorboard that you can see that the living room has been laid to waste. The curtains are torn and frayed and your couch is half-buried beneath a collection of crumbling armchairs. A thin mist hangs in the air along with a smell of must and mold. It's as if no one has set foot here for decades. Peering through the grime-covered windows reveals nothing but an endless expanse of pitch-black.</p> <</if>>

<<if $turn is 0>> <<if $char[4].event is 0>> <p>The rec room is in shambles as usual. Board game pieces, old workout equipment, half-drunk soda cans, and who knows what else litters the carpet. The only clear floor space is a few feet around the beer-stained pool table in the center of the room and just in front of the entertainment center.</p> <p>The twins, Nate and Danny, are sitting cross-legged in front of the TV, playing some racing game. That is when they're not pawing at each other's controllers to try to knock their racer off course. From behind, you can't hope to tell the two apart; their laughter and mannerisms are near identical. Luckily, you've learned to tell them apart by their matching pinky rings. Nate wears his on his right hand while Danny on his left. As you lean in to inspect who is whom, one of the twins--Nate, you realize--looks up from the game and gives you a nod.</p> <<else>> <p>The rec room is in shambles as usual. Board game pieces, old workout equipment, half-drunk soda cans, and who knows what else litters the carpet. The only clear floor space is a few feet around the beer-stained pool table in the center of the room and just in front of the entertainment center.</p> <</if>> <<else>> <p>The rec room is somehow even more in shambles as usual. Desiccated board game pieces, old workout equipment, half-crushed soda cans with faded labels, and who knows what else litters the carpet. The only clear floor space is a few feet around the dusty pool table in the center of the room and just in front of the crumbling entertainment center.</p> <</if>>

<<if $turn is 0>> <p>The staples of Kappa Delta Phi's cuisine can all be found right here: beer, grilled cheese, instant noodles, and cold pizza. The only frat member remotely aware of how to operate the stove is Carlos, who enthusiastically supplied his famous loaded nachos and chile con carne for tonight's festivities. Normally, you'd have more trouble navigating the space without kicking over garbage, but it seems like someone put forth the effort to tidy up before the party. Still, you're certain the place will be back to its usual glory by the end of the night.</p> <<else>> <p>You're used to seeing the kitchen in complete disarray, but its current state is enough to make you gag. Stacks of unwashed dishes and greasy countertops look like they've been left to fester for months. A musky odor hangs heavy in the air, and the yellow-stained wallpaper almost looks to be slithering down the wall in places where it flakes and falls to the floor. You can't help but feel a morbid curiosity about the state of the fridge, but you have better sense than to try to see if there's anything edible left inside. </p> <</if>>

<<if $turn is 0>> <<if $char[2].event is 0>> <p>You stand in a long, dimly-lit hallway lined with bedroom doors on either side. Far from the commotion of the party, this area is almost eerily quiet. Most of the doors have been left ajar, yours included, but you note Andre's is shut. You can enter, but you doubt he would have closed his door if he wanted to be interrupted.</p> <<else>> <p>You stand in a long, dimly-lit hallway lined with bedroom doors on either side. Far from the commotion of the party, this area is almost eerily quiet. Most of the doors have been left ajar, yours included.</p> <</if>> <<else>> <p>You stand in a long, dark hallway. Both sides are lined with the frat brothers' bedroom doors. Surprisingly, this part of the house seems largely untouched, save for the same eerie runes which decorate the rest of the house.</p> <</if>>

The creature unclenches its hand from Zach's throat and glides forward, to the center of the room. "Perhaps your hearing needs as much correction as your speech.

Honestly, you thought he'd take more convincing, but the clock's ticking and it's just nice to have someone respect your time. When Beau turns, you spy the symbol glimmering just above his exposed plumber's crack.</p> <div class="symSwap"><<= _swap1 + _charColor + _swap2 + _swapTsk>></div> <p>It's time to decide if you'll tell him it's a $symN or try to convince him of something else.</p> <<elseif $round is 2>> <<elseif $round is 3>> <<elseif $round is 4>> <<elseif $round is 5>> <<elseif $round is 6>> <<elseif $round is 7>> <<elseif $round is 8>> <<elseif $round is 9>> <</if>> <<elseif $t is 10>> <<if $round is 1>> <p>"Fine, have a look. Just don't touch; my outfit's smudged enough just walking around this hellhole." Mason unbuttons his shirt and then turns, shrugging the fabric off of his shoulders rather than untucking it so that the entire chiseled musculature of his back is on display. It feels a little ridiculous to admit, but the $symN glowing on his back is not an unattractive addition at all.</p> <div class="symSwap"><<= _swap1 + _charColor + _swap2 + _swapTsk>></div> <p>"Alright, that's enough."

You’re stunned. You had no idea the ink on his neck snaked its way around and down his back. As you gaze at the vibrant design, Kai instructs, "Describe it to me as best you can, okay? Are the strokes heavy or light? Is the color bright or dull? Does it look like the runes on the ground or did it require another tool?"</p> <div class="symSwap"><<= _swap1 + _charColor + _swap2 + _swapTsk>></div> <p>You stammer out a reply, no doubt doing a terrible job of answering Kai's deluge of questions. But in the end, all he really needs to hear is that it's a $symN. That is, unless you think he should hear it's something else.</p> <<elseif $round is 2>> <<elseif $round is 3>> <<elseif $round is 4>> <<elseif $round is 5>> <<elseif $round is 6>> <<elseif $round is 7>> <<elseif $round is 8>> <<elseif $round is 9>> <</if>> <</if>>

<<ech 1>> <p>"Fuck. //Fuck!//" Jax shouts, pounding his fist against his thigh. "Where the fuck is that bitch-ass demon?! Did you see him? I’m going to fucking stuff that watery bitch into a jar and feed him my fucking piss. Where is he?!"</p> <p>You're not sure that would work any better than what he's tried so far, but there's no sense in disagreeing with Jax when he's like this. The man's got tunnel vision, and he could easily kill someone, by accident or otherwise. You quietly agree with Jax and say you'll be on the look out for a jar. You add that maybe he should try to take a few deep breaths. He turns to you, glares, and steps a little too close. Towering over you, his hot breath sears your face.</p> <p>"Why don’t //you// take a deep breath, huh?"</p> <p>He gives you a hard shove, but you can tell there wasn't much force behind it. You're still standing after all. Jax actually does take a deep breath, his tense muscles ease as he regains his focus. Realizing that all eyes are on him, Jax barks at people to fuck off. Now that he’s back to being the impatient jock that everyone knows rather than a raging psychopath, at least no one’s in immediate danger of taking a beating.</p> <p>"Fine. The fuck you want? Speak up before I whoop your ass."</p> <p>Maybe not.</p>

<<ech 1>> <p>No one but Zach could manage to stare off into space while still staring down at you with contempt, chin held high. His stance hardly changes when he finally acknowledges your presence and says, "You don't want to wander around somewhere else? We're on a deadline, and I'm trying to think."</p> <p>That's precisely the reason you wanted to talk to him. Zach has a… mixed reputation. But, love him or hate him, nobody would accuse Zach of being stupid. He's got a plan; you're sure of it.</p> <p>"I get it," Zach says, turning to face you, "you're lost, and scared, and you need someone to tell you what to do. Sure, I might be able to help with that."</p> <p>That's not exactly it, but at least he's willing to hear you out.</p>

<<ech 1>> <p>Andre is crouched down, close to the wall. He traces his fingers across the runic etchings in the floor and then peels at the decaying wallpaper, letting a yellowed scrap deteriorate between his thumb and index finger before falling to the floor.</p> <p>When you call out to him, Andre tilts his head up and gives a brief grunt in acknowledgement. After a few seconds of awkward silence, you ask if he's found anything interesting.</p> <p>Andre takes a sharp breath and sighs, visibly annoyed by the interruption, "What exactly about this situation do you find boring?" He turns to you and his eyes soften a little. For a moment, you detect panic on his face. Tonight's events have been enough to rattle even Andre. It'd be a relief to see an emotion from him other than annoyance and indifference if not for… well, everything else.</p> <p>"Need something?"</p>

<<ech 1>> <p>Robert is dashing from one end of the room to the other, barking out, "Any injuries?" "What's the water situation?" "Who's checked the basement?" When he catches you staring, he jogs over and, a little out-of-breath, asks, "Are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?"</p> <p>You reply that you're fine and, seeing the genuine concern written all over his face, even manage a half-smile. Even in a crisis, Robert knows exactly what he's doing. Not a trace of panic or uncertainty, and that confidence is infectious.</p> <p>"Great. I know I can depend on you and all of the brothers. We're going to get through this. //Together//. Let me know if you need anything."</p> <p>Well, there was one thing.</p>

<<ech 1>> <p>As you approach Nate, he waves at you excitedly and then motions for you to come closer. When you're within arms reach, Nate pulls you in close and frantically whispers, "Bro, this is //crazy//! What special role did you get?"</p> <p>//Special… role//? you wonder.</p> <p>“Yeah, Bro. C'mon, don't hold out on me. Like, you know how in //Werewolf// there’s roles with unique abilities, like Villager, Doctor, Bodyguard, and whatever? Or //Mafia// has the Police Detective or some shit? What was the role that was written in your circle? I'm saving mine till I really need it, since the magic only works once.</p> <p>//Circle?// Right, the circle that trapped you when that //thing// was talking. It was glowing with that same weird runic pattern, but you didn't see a name or anything. But… you were completely distracted by Jax at the time. Shit, maybe there was something you missed and now you're completely fuc--</p> <p>"Bro, I'm just messing with you," Nate laughs. Loudly. Inches from your ear. "You actually thought I had some magic powers, huh? That's fucking hilarious. No, no, listen, I am //the best// at these types of games. We'll figure out what's up, no problem."</p>

<<ech 1>> <p>Danny is sitting cross-legged on an endtable, absent-mindedly swirling a beer around in his solo cup while flashing you his usual charming smile. "Drink?" he asks.</p> <p>You're tempted. That might well take the edge off. but if the beer has changed half as much as the house, you're guessing that drink is somewhere between flat and lethal. You decline then ask Danny how he can be so calm right now.</p> <p>"Hmm?" Danny takes a couple sniffs of his beer and then slowly pours it out onto the floor. "Oh, I'm not too worried. Nate and I are undefeated Game Night champs, and this setup is kind of like a social deduction game on easy mode. Get this, you only need one person who won't lie to you and you're completely safe. Just one. So Nate and I have nothing to worry about. As for the rest of you, as long as you can talk to two people, there's always someone that can tell you the truth. Easy-peasy. I guess there's not much of a competitive gaming scene in Hell or whatever."</p> <p>You think it over for a moment and realize Danny's right. The Wolf might lie to you, but the others can be relied on to keep you safe. Maybe this won't be so hard after all!</p> <p>"Well…" Danny continues, "maybe not that easy. I guess everyone's trying to take out the traitor and, if people figure that's you, they might just team up to take you out. I'm sure one or two people are working that out right about now."</p> <p>You feel the heartbeat in your ears as you scan the room and suddenly become very aware of all the conversation being had around you.</p> <p>"Yo," Danny interrupts, "Did you want something?"</p>

<<ech 1>> <p>Beau is leaning against a wall, slowly swiveling his head from one side of the room to the other and occasionally clicking his tongue against the roof of his mouth. When his eyes fall on you, he clicks his tongue a final time and his expression transforms from a scowl to a big, dopey grin.</p> <p>"Aye, Bro," he slurs, "this shit is //insaaaaane//. Did I smoke too fucking much or what?" He laughs and clasps you on the shoulder. "Or, like, what even //did// I smoke, right? Listen, this seems like real serious grownup shit for the other guys to work out. Not my scene. So, you want to raid the fridge or what? I've never had interdimensional nachos. I bet they're a trip."</p> <p>You politely decline and ask for just a couple minutes of Beau's time.</p> <p>"Yeah, fine. Grownup shit it is. What can I do for you?"</p>

<<ech 1>> <p>Kevin leans against a wall, holding his glasses in one hand and frantically swiping at the lenses with a small cloth in the other. His eyes, meanwhile, are staring right at you. It's enough to make you think he wants you to come over, but he shows no reaction when you take a step forward. And then another. Even when you're just a couple feet away, he says nothing. Finally, you ask if he's okay, and Kevin jumps, letting his glasses tumble to the floor.</p> <p>He crouches down to retrieve them and shouts, flustered, "What is wrong with you?! Why would you sneak--" He pauses, picking the dropped cloth up off the floor and turning it over an inch from his face. "Great. Great! Well this is useless. This is a //twelve hundred// count micro fiber cloth. What am I supposed to do now? I can't just use my shirt you know. That would scratch the lenses and my glasses got all this weird black… goop on them… or ooze and they look clean but I can't get the streaks out and I shouldn't have come to this stupid party and… and…" Kevin's sentence devolves into a low moan before he gives up on talking completely and just resumes staring forward, expressionless.</p> <p>You pick his glasses up off the ground, blow gently across the lenses to remove any dust, and then tap them against Kevin's shoulder. His eyes focus again when he snatches them from you and asks, "What did you want anyway? Just to scare me?"</p> <p>You insist that's not the case, telling Kevin you thought he seemed like a pretty smart guy that he might know what's going on.</p> <p>"Yeah…?" Kevin's demeanor changes in an instant. The color returns to his face and he practically leaps up from his crouched position. "Yeah! Of course. Of course, you're right to come to me. It's a very simple problem once you stop to examine it. All an observant, uh, observer has to do is deduce who's lying, and that's child's play to a student of human behavior. The Wolf might be able to lie to you lot, but he can't lie to his own amygdala. Every second you try to deceive me, your face produces almost, //almost//, imperceptible micro expressions that will tell me you're lying. Watch, say something and I'll tell you if it's true or not."</p> <p>You say that Kevin looked like he was about to cry a second ago.</p> <p>"…No. Whatever. My expertise are wasted on you, anyway. If you're not going to accept my help, you might as well tell me what you think is going on."</p>

<<ech 1>> <p>Carlos is pacing back and forth uneasily while holding his phone up toward the ceiling. Every few steps, he stops and tries to balance on the tips of his toes to get a few inches more height. After almost colliding with you for the second time, Carlos says, "Oh, hey. How many bars are you getting? I've got, like, no signal."</p> <p>You gesture toward the window before informing Carlos that you're pretty sure cell signals don't transcend pocket dimensions.</p> <p>"Oh, sure," he says, his eyes still glued to his phone, "But, like, what carrier are you with? Verizon is shit, Man. I swear to God. Step one foot out of town and, //boom//, no service!"</p> <p>You ask Carlos why he's checking his phone anyway.</p> <p>"Why not? Everyone should be checking their phones, Man. This is some scary shit. I’m trying to call Jolene, see if she can get the police to come for us."</p> <p>There's so much wrong with that sentence, you're not sure where to even begin. Wasn’t her name Jocelyn? If he gets through to her, can't he just call the police himself. And what would they even–</p> <p>"Oh, hang on! I think I read somewhere that you can call 911 even if you don't have service. Alright, check this out… Shit. It didn't go through. Verizon, Man, I'm telling you."</p> <p>It takes a bit of convincing, but you finally manage to get Carlos to put his phone down by telling him he should save the battery.</p> <p>"Okay, okay. Fair point. We're going to need it later. So, what's your plan for getting us out of this?"</p>

<<ech 1>> <p>Jonah is pressed up against the corner like his mission in life is to occupy as little space as possible. He’s looking down, hands clasped together, unaware of your approach. When you call out to him, he shudders.</p> <p>"Oh. Hi. Sorry, I’m a little distracted."</p> <p>You assure him that it’s alright and ask how he’s doing.</p> <p>“I’m… I’m fine. No, really! I am. I heard, uh, Robert and Mason talking, and I think they’re figuring things out. It's going to be okay. I think. I trust them. They’re really capable, you know? Oh! Umm, sorry, not… not that you're not capable too. All the seniors are, I meant."</p> <p>It's obvious Jonah is trying to reassure himself more than you.</p> <p>"A-anyway, did you need some help? Er, not that you'd need //my// help, but is there something I can do for you?"</p>

<<ech 1>> <p>Like with everything else he does, Mason makes panicking look effortlessly cool. He paces back and forth a few times before slouching into a chair and flicking a cigarette out of its case and into his mouth. "Did you want one?" he asks before you can say anything.</p> <p>You shake your head 'No.'</p> <p>"You believe this? I don't even live here anymore, and I'm stuck dealing with this nonsense with the rest of you. You know that feeling of something getting its hooks in you and never letting go? Yeah, well I've got a few exes like that, but this frat is the clingiest bitch of them all. I was //this// close to kicking off my new life in style, but I just //had// to slum it out with the boys for the sake of //tradition//." He takes a long drag of his cigarette. "Eh, listen to me complain. I'm the older brother and all that, I should be looking out for the next generation. So, what's up; how can I help?"</p>

<<ech 1>> <p>You peek over Kai's shoulder while he scribbles furiously in his notebook, scrawling out the runic markings etched into the hardwood and occasionally jotting down a note next to his drawings. "It's like when you've got a word right at the tip of your tongue," Kai says without looking up from his sketch. He points to one of the runes on the floor, "This one here," he says before flipping to an earlier page in his notebook and spinning around to show it to you, "and especially this one. I swear I've seen them before in one of my art history classes."</p> <p>There's almost a tinge of excitement to Kai's voice when he muses, "I feel like there could be an answer here. If we can read what's written in the circles or, at least, understand their origin, maybe we can make some alterations. Tell our own story."</p> <p>The longer you stare at the markings, the more the hair on the back of your neck stands up. You shiver and tell Kai you're not sure that it's the best idea to start messing with this stuff.</p> <p>Kai chuckles. "Hey, it was just a thought. Did you need something? Robert's just over there if you were looking for him."</p>

"Hey! Kill the music for a sec!" Robert clears his throat and then addresses the crowd he's gathered in the living room, "Ahem. I know this isn't the biggest get-together in the history of the frat, but I like to think a private event like this will leave a bigger mark in our memories than our usual ragers. No offense, Zach," he says, tipping his cup vaguely in Zach's direction, "I know that's more your speed. But let tonight be just for us brothers. To say farewell to the graduates, to wish our newest members luck, and to cement the bonds we've made through our years together. Kappa Delta Phi!" "Kappa Delta Phi!" you all roar in reply. Robert downs his drink and the room follows suit, taking their lead from the frat president as always. You raise your can along with the rest and, to your embarrassment, feel your chest tighten a little as you contemplate leaving this all behind after graduation. You throw your head back and swallow your emotion along with a swig of cheap beer, both leaving a bittersweet aftertaste. "All right," Robert concludes, "enough sappy speeches.

<<ech 2 "Enter" "Leave">> <<if ndef $choice>> <p>You silently step up to Andre's door, pausing for a moment before turning the handle. Everyone values their privacy to some extent, but Andre takes it to another level. In the three years since he joined the frat, you're not sure you and he have ever shared more than a few words. When you conjure up images of him with the other frat members, he's always just off to the side of the group, watching the guys but not really participating.</p> <p>As your hand touches the doorknob, you pause and reconsider. If you press on, you might be able to talk to Andre away from the crowd and finally learn something about him. At the same time, he's certain not to appreciate you barging in.</p> <<else>> <<if $choice is 0>> <p>You open the door to find Andre sitting on his bed and furiously typing on his phone. He pauses for a second to look up and glare at you before continuing to type, deliberately slower this time. You expected him to say 'Hello' or question what you're doing in his room, but Andre just stares down at whatever message he's composing as if you're not even there.</p> <p>You open your mouth to speak a few times, but you're not really sure what to say. //Hey, there's a party out there? No, that's stupid. As if he doesn't know.// Your mouth feels dry as you wonder, //How long have I been standing here not saying anything?//</p> <p>Andre sighs audibly and grabs a pair of earbuds off the nightstand. He presses one into each ear and starts blaring music loud enough that you can hear it from the doorway. You take that as reason enough to give up on saying something and just leave the room. //Well that was pointless,// you concede as you shut the door.</p> <<else>> <p>You release the handle and step away from the door. You may be no closer to making a friend out of Andre, but at least you didn't do anything to piss him off.</p> <</if>> <</if>>

<<ech 2 "Team Love" "Team Fun">> <<if ndef $choice>> <p>Robert's and your eyes meet for a moment, and his gentle charisma pulls you into the conversation. "Well," he says, returning his attention to Carlos, "is she coming then? Josephine, was it?"</p> <p>Carlos rolls his eyes dramatically before correcting, "Her name's Jocelyn, and no. I didn't invite her to this brausage fest."</p> <p>Before Robert can reply, Mason lifts a finger to interject and says, "Sorry, brausage?"</p> <p>"Like bro and sausage," Carlos explains with a proud grin, "like a sausage fest but with all dudes. Get it?"</p> <p>Mason starts to mouth a reply a few times before finally trying, "What do you think the sausage part is-- You know what, it's fine. I get it. Uh, good one."</p> <p>"Anyway," Robert interrupts, "it's hard to keep your girlfriend's name straight when it changes every other week."</p> <p>Carlos sighs, "Whateeever, dude. We can't all find //the one// when we're sixteen. Some of us have to try new things once in a while."</p> <p>Mason shrugs, "Nothing wrong with playing the field, Rob. When I was your age, I was hooking up with a new guy every week… Still am, actually. Commitment isn't for everyone. What do you think," Mason asks, turning your way, "are you team love or team fun?"</p> <<else>> <p>Mason pats you on the back. "Oh, to be young and passionate," he opines.</p> <p>Carlos chimes in, "You're literally thirty."</p> <p>"What?! Don't go around spouting lies. I'm twenty-nine; I've got my whole life ahead of me."</p> <p>"Speaking of," Robert says, "How're you liking the new offices? Pretty sweet they opened a branch in your home town, even if it's taking you a while to find a place." Robert's eyes widen and he stutters, "Oh, not, uh, not that we haven't liked hosting you here. It's just, umm, I'm sure you've got--"</p> <p>"It's fine. You’re a saint for hosting me, but I'll be out of your hair soon. I'll be closing a major deal soon, and I didn't want to just settle for the first thing to come along. Oh, yeah, speaking of settling, did I tell you what your brother did at the firm the other day? So, there's this crazy shit going down with requisition of shareholder--"</p> <p>Carlos groans loudly, "Ugh, I don't understand your business talk. I'm out."</p> <p>He starts to back away and Robert calls after him, "Hey, if you're headed to the kitchen, would you remind Kai he's supposed to be getting me a drink? He's taking forever."</p> <p>Carlos puts up a middle finger as he walks backward away from the group, "fetch your boyfriend yourself, dude."</p> <p>Mason chuckles and turns back to Robert. "He hasn't changed at all, huh?"</p> <p>"Shit!" Carlos yells after painfully colliding with an end table. Seeing you staring, he puts up a second middle finger.</p> <p>"Nope."</p> <p>Mason resumes his work story, and you take that as your cue to leave before you get stuck hearing about spreadsheets and acquisition mergers.</p> <</if>>

<<ech 2 "Ignore" "Help">> <<if ndef $choice>> <p>You start to approach Jonah, but a couple of guys beat you to it. Jonah almost appears to shrink as he's flanked by Jax and Zach, two of the biggest guys in the frat. Looks like Jonah's in trouble.</p> <p>"Hey, Johanna!" Jax is the first to speak, his deep voice booming through the room.</p> <p>"H-hi," Jonah replies, meekly. You can hardly blame him. Jax is 240 pounds of all-American muscle. His biceps have a faint sheen in the light, and the stink of sweat stings your nostrils, even from here.</p> <p>Zach looks much less impressive next to his friend, but anyone would seem small next to a hulking beast like Jax. Zach is plenty intimidating in his own right. If people can pry their eyes away from Jax they'll see, well, Zach's ridiculous 80s-era mustache. But move off of that, and they'll note that Zach is honed to athletic perfection as well; he's just lithe in all the places Jax is bulky.</p> <p>Zach flops down beside Jonah and throws an arm around the now-trembling pledge, "You forgot something, Fuckwad."</p> <p>Jonah's eyes widen. He stammers, "I-- I meant--" Zach grabs the back of his neck and leans in close, his breath hot on Jonah's skin. "I meant, 'Hello, Sir.'"</p> <p>"Oh good," Zach says, "you remember."</p> <p>Jax rolls his shoulder before raising and flexing an arm. He stares at the bulging muscle as he says, "I think he could still do with a reminder though." Jonah's eyes dart nervously about the room, silently pleading for someone to intervene. His gaze lingers on you long enough for Jax to take notice, and he tilts his head back to size you up.</p> <<else>> <<if $choice is 0>> <p>The last thing you want is to get on Jax and Zach's bad sides. You might only have a few weeks left on campus, but those are weeks you'd prefer not to spend as someone's punching bag. Satisfied that you're no threat, Jax turns back to his victim.</p> <p>You wonder if you've made the right decision, when someone calls out, "Hey, it's a party for God's sake. Take it down a notch, would you?" You turn to see Robert watching the scene, no doubt annoyed he had to pull out his //leader// voice.</p> <p>The bullies step away and answer in unison, disappointed, "Aye Captain."</p> <p>You swear Zach blows you a little kiss as he and Jax wander off. You think to ask Jonah if he's okay, but he stands up and scurries away before you can get a word in.</p> <<else>> <p>You meet Jax's stare and step forward, silently cursing yourself for getting involved. The wry smile on Zach's face turns to a grin and you wonder if this was his plan all along: to watch Jax beat down some nosy onlooker.</p> <p>You wonder if you've made the right decision, when someone calls out, "Hey, it's a party for God's sake. Take it down a notch, would you?" You turn to see Robert watching the scene, no doubt annoyed he had to pull out his //leader// voice.</p> <p>The bullies step away and answer in unison, disappointed, "Aye Captain."</p> <p>You swear Zach blows you a little kiss as he and Jax wander off.

<<ech 2 "Agree with Kai" "Agree with Kevin">> <<if ndef $choice>> <p>You approach the duo and, while Kai looks grateful for the interruption, his conversation partner--a stick-thin boy in glasses--doesn't even seem to register your presence.</p> <p>"Honestly," he says," I don't know if I am excited for the exhibition. The old art district… that's a bit gauche, don't you think? And the pieces: machiavellian. Boorish for my taste."</p> <p>Kai replies, "Right, I think it's worth a visit. The glass sculptures are actually really interesting. I keep asking Robert to go with me, but he's had to cancel a bunch of times already. I just wish he'd stop toying with me. Speaking of Robert--"</p> <p>"The sculptures?! Really? I don't think art should should be so blatantly sexual. Does no one understand subtlety anymore? I just don't think it would be right supporting an artist like that."</p> <p>Kai scrunches his brow a little but shrugs it off. You then notice he's been holding a drink in each hand this whole time.

<p>You start to make your way back to the main room when you're suddenly plunged in darkness.</p> <p>//A power outage?// You trace your hand along the wall toward a cacophony of cheers and groans from the other frat members. Just as your eyes are starting to adjust to the dim illumination, the lights kick back on. Followed seconds later by the music. You're standing in the living room along with the other thirteen party-goers, ready to fully shrug off the strange occurrence until you notice something strange: a subtle odor.</p> <p>Zach seems to have noticed it too. He's examining an outlet, maybe concerned about a possible electrical fire, but you've already found the source. Though you have no idea what to make of it. There are intricate, blackened lines etched into the hardwood beneath your feet. You move toward the edge of the room so that the image becomes clear: a massive circle, decorated in intricate symbols that wind around a pentagram. You kneel down to inspect the bizarre pattern, noting the lines still feel warm beneath your fingertips.</p> <p>"Listen," Robert whispers, tapping you on the shoulder. "I did a head count when the lights came back on." You look up from the circle and see that Robert isn't staring at it at all but instead scanning the room intently. "There were thirteen of us before. Why are there fourteen now?"</p> <p>The room goes silent, and your attention darts back to the circle as the lines begin to glow an eerie, pale green. The music slows and then dies while people watch, dumbstruck. A cold drop of sweat drips down your neck and you feel a knot form in the pit of your stomach. Every fiber in your body is screaming, //Danger! Run!//, but it's too late.</p> <p>A thunderous boom echoes through the house. The lights flicker and then go out again so that the room is only illuminated by the circle's otherworldly glow. The knot in your stomach drops as you're lifted in the air, suspended by some extraordinary force that spreads your limbs wide and knocks the wind out of you. You tense every muscle but are helpless as the world begins to spin around you and the inky black darkness begins to envelop your body as though it's alive: a black, silky fluid that seeps along your skin, wriggling up your body until it comes to cover your panicked eyes.</p> <<unset $t>><<unset $choice>><<ech 1>><<set $buttons[4].ex to "<<goto 'Incubus E1'>>">>

<p>Your senses are muted.</p> <p>You try to breathe.</p> <p>How many seconds have passed since your voice was suppressed?</p> <p>How many minutes have passed since you stopped hearing your brothers' screams?</p> <p>How many hours have passed since your heart stopped beating?</p> <p>Your thoughts are muddled. //Is this the end? Am I… dead?// The question runs through your mind on repeat until, suddenly, the black liquid spits you out onto the floor with a dull thud. You cough violently as your senses recover, and you realize that everyone else is experiencing the same thing. Though you’re apprehensive, it seems like everyone is alive and unhurt. You could almost believe it had all been some bizarre nightmare if you weren't coughing up black slime onto a glowing, rune-laden pattern beneath you. You look up and see everyone has been deposited evenly around the immense circle in your living room.</p> <p>Most of you are still on hands and knees, struggling to catch your breath, but Jax is already on his feet and… you're not sure. It's almost as though he's miming banging on a wall while shouting, but every time he strikes the invisible barrier, the symbols beneath him release a short burst of red light. //Are we trapped?!// </p> <p>You extend a trembling hand, terrified of making contact with your own invisible barrier when you notice a shape in the center of the circle move for the first time. It rises slowly, unfurling its limbs as it rises to its feet. Standing, it has the shape of a man, but it's as though it's not all there. Like it's made out of shadow and that same silky fluid that enveloped you. </p> <p>As it approaches Jax, it laughs with a man's voice. Its hand darts forward, breaching the barrier, and pinching Jax's cheeks to stop his screaming. It speaks. "Oh, you're a fun specimen."</p> <p>Jax swings desperately at his assailant only to have his fists pass through it uselessly. Each strike sends swirls of vapor spiraling and black liquid spattering to the floor only for the creature's shape to reform in an instant. With seemingly no effort at all, it shoves Jax and sends him tumbling against the barrier.</p> <p>The shadow snickers and turns to address the room, "Perfect. A delicious group of handsome monsters."</p> <p>Robert stands slowly and braves himself, though his hands are trembling. "Who are you?! What have you done to us?!"</p> <p>The creature sounds delighted to answer, "Ah, the Captain. Such a commanding voice. But, you're asking entirely the wrong questions. What you should be asking is, 'Why are you here?' And the answer: I was invited." The entity's blur of a face contorts, a crescent-shaped maw opening where its mouth would be. Through that horrific grin, it explains, "One of you here has taken an interest in attaining the powers of an incubus, and he's willing to pay the price: twelve mortal slaves. You," he says, sweeping his arm in a wide motion. "But, I am not interested in granting power to the unworthy. An incubus must be able to govern the hearts and minds of lesser men, and so I propose a game. And to make things a little more fair, it will be twelve innocent men against one betrayer. Twelve sacrificial lambs against one wolf in sheep's clothing."</p> <<unset $choice>><<ech 1>><<set $buttons[4].ex to "<<goto 'Incubus E2'>>">>

<p>Jax screams, "Fuck you! What the fuck is this?! Let me go!"</p> <p>The incubus raises a hand and Jax falls silent. His face turns a darker shade of red than you've ever seen as he claws at his throat, apparently unable to open his mouth. "See this one here," it says and lazily indicates Jax with a tilt of his wrist, "Could he be your traitor? He is all outrage and fury, but could it be an act? Surely not, you must wonder. Surely the brute lacks the guile for such deception. But then the doubt slithers into your mind. How well do you know him, really? Perhaps his anger is genuine…" it's grin widens, "but only because he's just learned that his work is not yet complete."</p> <p>With another wave of the wrist, Jax drops to his knees and sputters for breath. The incubus laughs sharply and says, "And if it could be him--if you doubt the man that seems unable to contain his every base emotion--then it could be anyone. Is there anyone you can trust with all your heart?"</p> <p>You glance around the room and see others doing the same. The twins are reaching out to one another. Kaito, his eyes watering, is looking at Robert for reassurance. He, meanwhile, is trying his best to stay on his feet and put on a show of bravery' although you can see his trembling hands from here.</p> <p>The question echoes in your head, //Is there anyone you can trust?//</p> <p>"Now, let's go over the rules."</p> <<unset $choice>><<ech 1>><<set $buttons[4].ex to "<<goto 'Incubus E3'>>">>

<<set _export to true>><<run Save.slots.save(1, "First Round")>> <p>"Our game will pit the one wolf against his twelve lambs. The wolf wins when he eliminates the lambs without revealing his identity. Meanwhile, the lambs' only hope is to eliminate the wolf before being devoured themselves.</p> <p>"When the round begins, each of you, lambs and wolf, will be assigned one of three possible tasks to be complete before the round's end. You'll know your task by the symbol I draw upon your lower backs." The creature's crescent-shaped smile spreads even wider as he explains, "And, oh, I've chosen some excellent tasks for you tonight. Those with the shape of the Pentacle <span class="ruleEm">$penta</span> must perform an act of ''Lust''. The players graced by the symbol of the Cup <span class="ruleEm">$cup</span> will perform an act of ''Bonding'', and those who draw the Sword <span class="ruleEm">$sword</span> will display an act of ''Obedience''.</p> <p>"Ah, now here's the rub, my beauties. You will not, through any means, be able to see the symbol upon your own back. You're only chance to learn your task will be to depend on your fellow players. When you are convinced you know your task, find a willing partner, enter this ritual circle, and declare it aloud! You needn't worry about my vague titles, once declared your tasks will come to you naturally. You may serve as a partner to any number of players, but you may only complete //one// task for yourself. So you may wish to spend some time seeking out an ally to trust.</p> <p>"Though, don't take too long. As the round progresses, you will hear my chime ring five times. A helpful reminder not to waste my time as, when the fifth chime sounds, the round will end and you will all gather to observe… eliminations."</p> <p>A chill runs up your spine.</p> <p>"If any player completes a task other than the one assigned to them, they will be eliminated. And, since the wolf is at such a number's disadvantage, if //any// lamb wants to sit our game out and not do their task, //all// lambs will be eliminated at once. All of you, finished, just… like… that!"</p> <p>With the final word, the creature slaps its wet hands together. There's a thunderous clap and then silence as the thing's wispy form dissolves away. The markings beneath your feet fade, and you stumble forward and out of the circle that had confined you.</p> <<unset $choice>><<ech 1>><<set $buttons[4].ex to "<<set $char[12].location to 4>><<roundReset>>">>

<div class="sumPic">$sumPic[0]</div> <div class="sumTitl" style="background: var(--jax);">Jax</div> <p>Jax is the football team's star quarterback. Without a doubt, he's the big man on campus: loud, short-fused, and combative. He commands attention wherever he goes. If there's a deeper personality under the hyper-masculine exterior, you've never seen it before tonight. Nearly every moment of Jax's time seems to be occupied with practice, working out, or keeping you up at night with the sounds of him absolutely wrecking his bed frame and, presumably, some poor guy's asshole.</p>

<div class="sumPic">$sumPic[1]</div> <div class="sumTitl" style="background: var(--zach);">zach</div> <p>As the football team's placekicker, Zach isn't as renowned a player as his childhood friend, Jax, but he more than makes up for it off the field. Zach is practically a local celebrity, famous for throwing the most massive ragers the campus has ever seen and, more than once, getting Kappa Phi into trouble with Campus Security. Trouble that he, somehow, always seems to avoid while leaving the rest of you to take the heat.</p>

<div class="sumPic">$sumPic[2]</div> <div class="sumTitl" style="background: var(--andre);">andre</div> <p>What can you say about Andre? He's a basketball player, the tallest member of the frat, and someone that seems to want nothing to do with you at all. In fact, the rumor is that Andre only joined the fraternity to fill out his resume after word got around that he wasn't a team player. You don't know that anyone's really complaining about that when Andre single-handedly wins tourneys, but he keeps to himself the rest of the time. In your years together under the same roof, you've barely had an interaction with Andre beyond an awkward hello in the hallway.</p>

<div class="sumPic">$sumPic[3]</div> <div class="sumTitl" style="background: var(--robert);">robert</div> <p>Robert is the frat president and captain of the soccer team. These two roles have together earned him the nickname "Captain" among his fraternity brothers. Earnest, diligent, and thoughtful, Robert is well-loved by the brothers he looks after. You can't think of anyone else you'd rather have around in a crisis.</p>

<div class="sumPic">$sumPic[4]</div> <div class="sumTitl" style="background: var(--twins);">nate & danny</div> <p>Identical twins Nate and Danny are almost indistinguishable to you even after four years of college together. Though you've learned a trick for telling them apart at a glance, the two are so inseparable it hardly matters. If you see one by himself, it's probably because the other is hiding right behind you. The two have a reputation as thrill-seeking pranksters after all, something that infuriates you when you're the butt of the joke but never fails to make you laugh when someone else is the victim.</p>

<div class="sumPic">$sumPic[6]</div> <div class="sumTitl" style="background: var(--carlos);">carlos</div> <p>Carlos is the token straight and a total playboy. He lives to have fun and use eye-rolling pick up lines to scoop a new girl into his arms every week. Carlos would have dropped out of school a dozen times by now if not for his skill on the soccer field and his coach's insistence that he work with a tutor. He's a bit careless and more than a little dumb, but you can't help but be taken in by Carlos's easy-going charm. Plus, it helps that he loves to cook for the frat.</p>

<div class="sumPic">$sumPic[7]</div> <div class="sumTitl" style="background: var(--jonah);">jonah</div> <p>Jonah pledged the fraternity in the fall but was accepted only on a previously unheard of "probationary pledge period." He was told that he'd be made a full brother sophomore year as long as the entire frat voted unanimously to let him in. It's a pretty cruel deal, since everyone knows his dad will practically disown Jonah if he gets kicked out. Everyone's had a bit of fun at Jonah's expense, even you, but Jax and Zach can take the whole hazing thing too far in your opinion.</p>

<div class="sumPic">$sumPic[8]</div> <div class="sumTitl" style="background: var(--kevin);">kevin</div> <p>Kevin is Carlos's tutor and you kind of suspect he's only here tonight because Carlos forgot to cancel a study session. He looks completely out of his depth. You've never heard anyone complain so often, or so loudly, or with so many big words.</p>

<div class="sumPic">$sumPic[9]</div> <div class="sumTitl" style="background: var(--beau);">beau</div> <p>Beau is the frat's pot hookup. Beyond that, you don't really know much about him. From what you've heard, he's either a stoner pot-dealer who'll give you some free weed if you watch a Seth Rogen movie with him or he's a cutthroat businessman that uses his pudgy, non-threatening exterior to sucker dumb college kids into lifelong debt and addiction. Who invited this guy anyway?</p>

<div class="sumPic">$sumPic[10]</div> <div class="sumTitl" style="background: var(--mason);">mason</div> <p>Mason is a visiting alumnus, returned in all his glory to show his younger frat brothers to what they can aspire. The man's practically a living legend; everyone that's heard of Kappa Phi has heard tales of his conquests and his appearance alone is enough to impress. Tonight's outfit probably costs more than you've earned in your lifetime.</p>

<div class="sumPic">$sumPic[11]</div> <div class="sumTitl" style="background: var(--kai);">kai</div> <p>Kai presents as timid and soft-spoken, especially when hanging on the arm of his boyfriend, Robert. But there's another side to Kai that you don't get to see very often. The side that returned from a summer abroad with a broken wrist and a prominent neck tattoo. The wrist, he informed you, was from a cliff-diving accident while the tattoo was just because he saw something pretty and "was inspired."</p>

It's only a moment but long enough for you to wonder if you asked something offensive. After what couldn't have been more than a second or two, he clicks his tongue against the roof of his mouth and answers, "Yeah, come to think of it, we might have been. I was in my second or third semester when he and Rob's brother were graduating. But, y'know, small campus…" Beau trails off before going silent again, seemingly lost in thought. "Nah," he finally continues, "you know what? That was forever ago. I probably misremember shit. But, yeah, I'll keep a watch out for Mason. Sus him being back in town all of a sudden and all that.

"Okay, now that you mention it, I am starting to remember Carlos going on about a Kevin. He was gushing so much over this guy, I thought for sure Carlos was coming out, but now that I've seen him… Yeah, tutor makes sense. Well, look, Carlos is a sweet kid but his assessment of people is not the best." He looks over to Kevin again, "It might actually be the worst, I'm realizing.

You cap off your summary by telling Mason that Beau sometimes goes by the nickname 'Beaver.'</p> <p>"Beaver?! Wait… No, you're kidding. //That's// Baby Beaver? Fuck, that kid has really bulked up." You clear your throat, wondering if Mason is going to fill you in on what he's talking about. He looks back to you, his expression suddenly dark, and insists, "He's a piece-of-shit junkie. You should have just led with that. And if you think he's the Wolf too, then I'll back you. Nothing more to it."

<p>Jax strides confidently into the ritual circle while you follow behind, head down and wondering if it's too late to change your mind. Jax stops, turns to you, and raises an eyebrow impatiently. Quickly, before you can lose your nerve, you say your task.</p> <p>//Lust//.</p> <p>Your muscles constrict and your veins quicken, suffused with vigor. This energy, it’s violent, throbbing. It’s an intense heat, an already unbearable need that grows with every passing second. Unable to form words, you look to Jax, hoping he'll see the anguish on your face and help you. But as your eyes land on Jax's cold, uncaring face, you're overcome with desire. The unbearable heat emanating from your body has evaporated any reluctance to submit yourself to this brute. This bully. How could you have ever thought to defy him?</p> <p>"Lust, eh?" Jax smirks, "That's what you wanted from me?" He cups his crotch and scoffs, "You want this dick so bad?"</p> <p>Staring at his bulge, you mouth a silent, breathless 'yes.' The mere suggestion makes you shudder. And once the idea enters your head, you can't help but envision Jax's thick cock splitting you apart. A thin line of drool escapes over your bottom lip even as you dick start to leak.</p> <p>"Needy's a good look on you," Jax growls, just inches from your face, hot breath searing your skin, "But what've you got that I want?" Jax grips your shoulder and spins you around. He yanks your pants down, unceremoniously, and then grips the band of your underwear.</p> <p>//Yes//, you think. Jax's knuckles slide along your lower back as he tightens his grip. //This is it. Do it! Use me!// With a sharp grunt, Jax yanks your underwear upward, knocking you off balance and sending a jolt of pain into your balls and reverberating throughout your whole body. You yelp, standing on your toes, trying not to fall forward. Before you can catch your breath, Jax lowers the band a few inches and then yanks again, this time with both hands. The sound of tearing fabric is only a little less audible than your scream as you nearly blackout from the second compression of your balls.</p> <p>You would have fallen flat on your face if not for Jax reaching a muscular arm around your torso to steady you. When your knees finally stop shaking, he starts to lower his hand.</p> <p>"Tch," he scoffs before gripping your bruised and aching testicles, "You even enjoyed //that//? Fuck, you've got it bad, bitch."</p> <p>You look down, at first confused and then appalled to see that he's right. Your dick is fully erect, pointing upward and leaking precum like a faucet. So desperate for more contact with Jax that you're unconsciously gyrating your hips in order to rub yourself against him. The pain, the need, they're both just reminders that you're his to use. And you want him to use you //now//!</p> <p>"Nah, "Jax snarls into your ear, "a soft bitch like you can't handle me… maybe if I loosen you up a bit first."</p> <p>Jax releases your balls and slides his hand along your shaft. Without warning, he takes a couple of his precum-slicked fingers and rams them into your ass. You shout and try to squirm away. Your throbbing dick bounces against your chest as you try to work your way off of the meaty digits impaling you.</p> <p>"Woah, not so fast." Jax laughs and uses his other arm to hold you tight against his chest. "I want to see if you can handle me."</p> <p>Jax pulls out an inch before pressing in again, now with a third finger. He pushes, deeper, tilting his wrist back and forth as he forces his knuckles inside of you. Your muscles are screaming from the sudden intrusion, and you can't help but tremble in Jax's hold.</p> <p>"Don't you dare ask me to stop. You wanted this."</p> <p>The thought of defying Jax is nauseating, so much worse than the pain he's inflicting. You shake your head and urge him to continue.</p> <p>"Time for takeoff, Bitch."</p> <p>Jax violently thrusts his fingers in as far as he can. In quick bursts he pistons in and out of you, breaking your body’s limits over and over. He laughs, savoring the pained look on your face as you're overwhelmed by the ritual's unnatural lust mixed with the near-unbearable pain of Jax's onslaught. Your limbs buckle, muscles tighten and spasm in an uncontrollable crescendo of ecstasy until it all culminates. Your dick sprays ropes of milky white cum all over your chest and thighs.</p> <p>Jax laughs again and adds, "Pathetic," before letting you drop to the ground with a thud. He steps over you so that his legs are straddling your torso. With one arm, he reaches down to scoop up some of the cum from your torso and proceeds to wipe it across your face before giving you two gentle slaps on the cheek.</p> <p>"Fucking needy bitches," he chuckles to himself, "think they're ready for my dick when they can't even take a couple fingers without creaming themselves." He steps over you and out of the circle, leaving you alone to recover.</p> <p>As you lay there, the thunderous beat of blood in your ears and dull aches in your ass and testes, you're a little ashamed to admit to yourself that the pain isn't what you regret about the encounter. It's not holding out long enough to get Jax's dick.</p>

<p>You walk into the circle. Though you asked Jax to help you with your task, you still feel uneasy as you listen to his heavy footfalls follow behind you. When you've reached the opposite edge of the ritual site, you stop. Nowhere left to go. Too late to change your mind and ask someone else. You start to turn around, but you feel Jax come up beside you. His meaty palms make contact with your hip just as his chest presses to your back and his hot breath wafts across your shoulder. You can't help but squirm as you recall too vividly the merciless battering he gave your hole last time.</p> <p>Jax's right hand slips beneath your shirt and begins to slide up your torso. He sways his hips into yours for emphasis as he says, "You didn't get enough abuse last time?" He grabs your nipple roughly between two calloused fingers, threatening to twist if your answer offends him. You shudder, unsure what to say or how to justify going back to this brute after how he's treated you. Jax is impatient, however. Before you realize it's happening, Jax's hand has left your nipple and shot up to wrap around your throat. He presses into your neck, not hard enough to choke you but more than enough to make it clear he could. He pulls back, inching your ear closer to his mouth, and whispers, "So, what's it going to be?"</p> <p>//Be?//, you wonder. A shiver runs through your body as you realize you haven't declared your task. The heat rising in your body, your dick's shameful straining in your pants, that's just you. You start to wonder if you're the slut Jax says you are. It's almost too much to handle with one of Jax's hand pressing hard on your throat and the other starting to reach around from your hips to your crotch. Before he can feel your cock straining in its confines, you rasp out your task.</p> <p>//Lust//.</p> <p>The effect is immediate. Where before you were warm to his touch, now your entire body is molten glass. Jax's hot breath enters through your ear and shapes you, fills you with need. It's unbearable. When Jax yanks the seat of your pants down and begins to trace a finger around your quivering hole, you're almost in tears, whimpering with need. You instinctively push your ass against his hand. He jabs two fingers into your hole and you cry out in pain.</p> <p>"Yeah? Did you miss that, Slut?"</p> <p>Your legs spasm as he buries his fingers inside of you. If not for the need to push your ass against him, you might have already collapsed to your knees. You grind your hips against Jax's hand, begging him to penetrate you deeper even as he digs his knuckles into your ring.</p> <p>"It's more than a bitch like you deserves, but since I'm such a nice guy--"</p> <p>Jax pulls his fingers from your ass as quickly as they'd entered. You exhale sharply, wondering how long you'd been holding your breath. Jax pushes your waistband down and palms your crotch through your underwear. His careless grip is electric, causing you to involuntarily grind into him, but it's not what you want. You need his fingers back. You need to be filled. You need--</p> <p>Jax thrusts his cock into you and time stops. Your ass throbs painfully from the intrusion, but each thrum radiates pleasure up your back and down your legs. The first pulse reaches your cock, your knees, buckle, and your dick shoot a load of cum into your underwear. Jax thrusts again, sending another wave through your body and then another. You can't speak. Can't think. Your ragdoll body is held up only by Jax's hands on your crotch and neck and his thick cock driven deep in your pussy.</p> <p>"That's… it… bitch!" Jax grunts, roaring the last word into your ear as he floods your ass with his cum. He pants heavily for a few seconds and then releases you. You fall forward, into the barrier, and then crumple to the ground when it dissipates. You lay there, stunned. Your head is pressed to the floor, your ass is in the air and leaking cum. You look every bit the slut Jax thinks you are. And you're not sure you even care.</p>

<p>Not at all sure what to expect, you declare your task the moment you and Jax are both in the ritual circle.</p> <p>//Bond//.</p> <p>"Bond?" Jax asks, "You looking to get tied up? Fuck you're a real perv– gah," Jax winces and lifts one hand to his head. "You're a perver– fuck!" He winces again and, by now, you're feeling it too.</p> <p>Your skull feels like it's about to split open. Your vision bursts with spots of light while a second wave of excruciating pain in your temple drops your knees. You grimace through the pain and see Jax curled up in the fetal position in front of you. One hand in front of the other at a slow, tormented pace, you crawl forward until you reach Jax's side. You reach forward, and your hand sinks into his shoulder as though it were a syrupy bog. The spots of light burst and fizzle out more rapidly, coalescing into an endless landscape of blinding white until…</p> <p>…you're somewhere else. The sound of your pained groaning has been replaced by the vague din of a middle school cafeteria. You scan the room, noting you're only a head taller than kids passing by. Your shoulders are tense, your face is contorted in a scowl, and your palms sting from just shoving the tween in front of you off his feet. You're like a frayed wire, damaged and poised to hurt anyone that gets too close. //Fuck,// you realize, //you're Jax.//</p> <p>You grab a carton of milk off the table and begin pouring it out on your victim's sandy-blond hair, saying, "See, isn't this harder than just doing what I asked?" Strangely the kid looks unfazed; he even smirks as the empty carton bounces off his head. //Wait… is that?// He's skinnier, and he doesn't have that streak of white in his hair or 80's era mustache, but that smug look is too familiar. It's Zach.</p> <p>You're a little taken aback. You don't usually have to take things this far before your victim is crying and begging to be left alone. Zach, meanwhile, is just running his fingers through his wet hair as he starts to get back to his feet.</p> <p>"What, getting up to go crying to your mom?" you tease.</p> <p>Zach pauses, as if seriously contemplating your question and then declares, "Yep!" before taking off in the other direction at a full sprint.</p> <p>You make to run after him, but your right foot lands in the puddle of milk and skids across the tile. You reach out to steady yourself, and resume the chase, but your hand inexplicably misses the table and grabs a… mop?</p> <p>You look up. Hours have passed, the cafeteria is bathed in burnt orange light from the setting sun, and you're still haphazardly completing your punishment.</p> <p>"This is bullshit," you whine for the fiftieth time, "I already cleaned up the fucking milk. Why do I have to mop the whole cafeteria?"</p> <p>"Builds character," Zach offers, sitting atop a table with his feet resting on the bench.</p> <p> "That was a bitch move not telling me your mom's the vice principal. And you could have just let your mom call my parents."</p> <p>Zach has a shit-eating grin when he retorts, "You saying you wanted to go crying to your mom?"</p> <p>The wooden mop handle cracks beneath your tightening grip. You turn to face the smarmy runt and ask, "Is that why you're still hanging around after school; you want to get your ass beat?"</p> <p>Zach hops up from his seat and steps down onto the tile. "Nah," he says, "I was hoping we could be friends."</p> <p>You scoff. "Who'd want to be friends with some pussy momma's boy?"</p> <p>"You!" Zach chirps, cheerfully. You roll your eyes and return to mopping, but Zach continues, "Look, this isn't the first time I've heard my mom talk about you. There's only so many in-school suspensions they're gonna hand out before you're off the football team, kicked out of school, or, I don't know, sitting in juvie. I could have your back. Help keep people out of your way, you know?"</p> <p>"All that to avoid an ass-beating?"</p> <p>"I was thinking you could have my back too. Y'know, like friends." Zach extends his hand, "I'll even help finish the mopping." You pause a long while, knowing this is hardly a friendly pitch but not seeing the kid's angle.</p> <p>You start to lift your arm when a meaty hand lashes out, taking a hold of your wrist. You yelp and look up to see Jax--grownup Jax--standing in front of you. Noticing your own, adult, hand is a relief, even if it feels as if Jax might snap your wrist at any moment. His eyes are blank, looking through you, and breath is ragged and heavy like a crazed animal. With a snort, he shoves your hand away and marches out of the circle.</p> <p>The experience of inhabiting Jax's body was bizarre to say the least, but you're not sure what would trigger a reaction like that from Jax. Something in that memory rattled him.</p>

<p>Jax strides into the ritual circle while you lag a short distance behind. He turns, an expectant sneer plastered on his face, and says, "C'mon, we don't have all fucking night."</p> <p>You resolve yourself to speak.</p> <p>//Obey//.</p> <p>Your fingertips tingle, blood rushes to your head, and warmth permeates your extremities. Jax must be feeling the same, you conclude, watching him lick his lips and roughly massage his bulge. Your hand instinctively glides along your thigh to rub the throbbing tent growing in your pants. Even the slight stimulation through your denim is enough to elicit a needy moan from your lips.</p> <p>“Hands off!” Jax commands.</p> <p>Your hand snaps away from your bulge and, no matter how hard you try to return it, you cannot. It's as though your crotch is covered by an invisible barrier as impenetrable as the one surrounding the ritual circle. Jax snickers, enjoying your predicament, before closing the distance between you. His post-workout musk fills your nostrils as he nuzzles his face against your shoulder. His breath cascades along the short hairs on the back of your neck while he maneuvers his hands beneath your shirt to roughly grip your nipples.</p> <p>He twists, increasing his pressure on your nipples until tears well in your eyes and you plead with him to stop.</p> <p>"Don't speak," Jax declares and seals his new command with another excruciating twist in the opposite direction. Your mouth clamps shut, muffling the scream that his cruel assault had evoked. Jax lifts his head from your shoulder and bites down hard on your earlobe before whispering into your ear, "You're all fucking rats, scurrying around. Doing anything to survive. Take a deep breath."</p> <p>Your brow furrows in confusion, but you're grateful to be able to unclench your jaw again. You open your mouth and have just begun to inhale deeply when Jax's fist collides with your stomach like a cannonball. You crumple to your knees, shocked, gasping for air. Jax's hand shoots out, savagely grabbing your face and tilting your head up to stare at him.</p> <p>"I'm not vermin. I solved this game before that runny shit even finished explaining the rules." Before continuing, He presses the toe of his shoe into your crotch and presses down, painfully, on your dick and balls. "The wolf is too chicken-shit to face me like a man. That tells me everything I need to know." Jax lifts his foot momentarily to deliver a swift kick to your ribs. "All you need to do to make me stop," he says, winding his foot back for another kick, "is confess."</p> <p>You wheeze through the pain, mouthing your defense, but still forbidden from speaking. Jax returns his foot to your crotch and begins to press. He leans forward, inches from your face and says, "If you don't confess right now, I'm going to castrate you with the heel of my boot. Is that what you want?"</p> <p>You shake your head vigorously.</p> <p>"Then conf– What the fuck?! Are you…" Jax probes your crotch with his foot, "You're getting off on this?"</p> <p>It's true. You're not sure if it's Jax's ruthless manhandling or the unnatural arousal of the ritual circle, but you're leaking a steady stream of precum into your jeans. If you could speak, you'd beg Jax to give you permission to touch your cock, but only after pleading with him to grip your nipples and twist until you're a moaning, incoherent mess.</p> <p>Instead, Jax shoves your face back and exclaims, "Fuck this. Fuckin' slut freak. I'm out." Jax stands upright and walks from the circle, reaching the edge just as the runes fade.</p>

You snap at him, insisting he focus.</p> <p>"Ah, right… Your-- your mark is $symN."</p> <div class="symSwap"><<= _swap1 + _charColor + _swap2 + _swapTsk>></div> <p>You ask him if he’s sure. This concerns your life after all, but Jonah seems to be very sure as he nods vigorously.</p> <<elseif $round is 2>> <<elseif $round is 3>> <<elseif $round is 4>> <<elseif $round is 5>> <<elseif $round is 6>> <<elseif $round is 7>> <<elseif $round is 8>> <<elseif $round is 9>> <</if>> <<elseif $t is 8>> <<if $round is 1>> <p>"Okay, got it," Kevin says while rapidly yanking his shirt back down. "Wait, you're sure? Absolutely one-hundred percent completely sure that's what it was?"</p> <p>You assure Kevin you've told him the right symbol and then, before he has a chance to question you again or try to squirm out of your agreement, you turn and reveal your own back to him.</p> <p>"What're you– Oh, right." Kevin is quiet for a few seconds--maybe a few too many seconds--before he says, "It's a $symN."</p> <div class="symSwap"><<= _swap1 + _charColor + _swap2 + _swapTsk>></div> <p>You consider asking him if he's sure. Like, really, really, sure. But somehow you doubt Kevin would get the joke.</p> <<elseif $round is 2>> <<elseif $round is 3>> <<elseif $round is 4>> <<elseif $round is 5>> <<elseif $round is 6>> <<elseif $round is 7>> <<elseif $round is 8>> <<elseif $round is 9>> <</if>> <<elseif $t is 9>> <<if $round is 1>> <p>"Nice, thanks, Bud. Want to give me a twirl so I can do you next?"</p> <p>You wait a beat, wondering if Beau plans to put his hoodie back on at any point. When it's clear the thought hadn't even occurred to him, you do as he asks, spinning around to face away from him. You move to lift your shirt, but Beau beats you to it. His pudgy fingertips worm their way under the fabric and glide up your lower back.</p> <p>A second later and he lets your shirt drop, confidently declaring, "You've got the $symN."</p> <div class="symSwap"><<= _swap1 + _charColor + _swap2 + _swapTsk>></div> <p>Beau tucks his hoodie beneath a sweaty armpit and remarks, "See, we make a good team.

He doesn't hesitate, immediately declaring, "$symN."</p> <div class="symSwap"><<= _swap1 + _charColor + _swap2 + _swapTsk>></div> <p>You ask Mason if he got enough time to check. He can have a closer look if he needs to after all. He snorts a brief, "Mm," in reply.

He tosses the notebook to you, adding, "I think it was somewhere in the middle." You flip through a dozen pages or so finding a few sketches of a $symN symbol along with a half-dozen of what look like the other two. You thank Kai and hand the notebook back, not entirely convinced you found the sketch he just drew.</p> <<elseif $round is 2>> <<elseif $round is 3>> <<elseif $round is 4>> <<elseif $round is 5>> <<elseif $round is 6>> <<elseif $round is 7>> <<elseif $round is 8>> <<elseif $round is 9>> <</if>> <</if>> <</widget>>

<p>//Lust//</p> <p>"Nice pick," Jax says. He idly reaches a hand under his muscle tee to scratch his stomach, exposing the solid, glistening abdominals below. "What do you think, want to feel up these abs or," he pushes his shorts down slowly until the base of his cock has just begun to peak out, "you want something else?"</p> <p>Your mouth is watering as you drop to your knees fixated on the display in front of you. Jax steps forward until his crotch is only inches from your face. He continues to push his shorts down one slow, tantalizing inch at a time. "Don't worry," he says, "I know what you want." <p>In one quick motion, Jax spins around and shoves his ass into your face. Jax bends his knees, chuckling to himself as he sways rubs his ass up and down your face with exaggerated movements while pulling your hair to keep your mouth pressed tightly against his tight, muscular butt. He needn't have bothered. After the initial shock of having your face pressed into his asscheeks wears off, you realize Jax is right. This is what you want. The jock's pungent taste assaults your senses but you only crave more. Your tongue is moving up and down in a frenzy, desperate to taste his sweaty hole.</p> <p>"There you go. Get a whiff of my sweaty asscrack, Bro," Jax prompts and you can't comply fast enough, pressing your nose to the small of his back and taking a deep inhale of his musky aroma. You can't contain a deep, almost animalistic, growl as you dig deeper between his cheeks. You cup one muscly cheek and dig into his pale flesh as you moan incoherently and feel your cock explode in your pants.</p> <p>"Seriously?" Jax asks, annoyed. He releases his grip and you fall back onto your butt, cum dribbling down your thigh. Seeing you sitting there, a puddle slowly forming in your lap, Jax laughs, "What the fuck, Bro; you got off just on sniffing my shit chute? How pathetic can you be?" You hardly register the insult, tilting your head to get another glimpse of that perfect muscle ass. The thought of one of those thick cheeks still red from where you gripped is almost enough to make you beg for another taste. But before you can act, Jax pulls up his shorts, shooting you a quick look of disgust before walking out of the circle.</p>

<p>You waste no time entering the circle and declaring your task: //Lust.//</p> <p>The runic circle illuminates. Beaver shoots you a playful grin and lifts his eyebrows. Why'd you end up choosing him as a partner? You just met the guy tonight and all you really know about him is that he reeks of weed and nachos… But then, that’s all you really need to know, right? Your body thrums and vibrates with lust as you fling yourself at Beaver, desperately grasping for his cheeks in your rush to mash your lips into his. He holds you at arms length.</p> <p>"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Beaver laughs, peeling himself away from your embrace, "We’re not on kissing terms yet, but I like that energy." For a moment, dejection shoots through your heart, but it vanishes the instant Beaver slips off his hoodie and gives you a full look at his glorious torso. Your mouth waters; your eyes are drawn to his broad gut and juicy, pliable pecs.</p> <p>The air fills with Beaver’s funk: a mix of the skunk odor of strong weed and the natural, acrid stench of body musk. You wobble to your knees and place both hands on Beaver's ample gut while his bouquet assaults your senses. Beaver laughs heartily and firmly pats you on the head. He stoops a bit, bringing you face-to-face with his ripe breasts, guiding your lips to suckle at his nipples.</p> <p>You lavish Beaver’s tit with your tongue, moaning as his salty tang jolts your taste buds. His flavor is overwhelming: intense with subtle notes of complexity. You lap up the moisture from his chest, swish it around your mouth with your saliva, and appreciate the sour and earthy flavors intermingling.</p> <p>Beaver grunts, burying your head into his pillowy pec, and encourages you to take in more, "Yeah, get in there, Piglet."</p> <p>You happily oblige; you're intoxicated with the taste. It’s as though every mouthful of his piquancy is a punch to your senses, slapping you awake and to the realization that you want nothing more than to spend the rest of your life lapping at this man’s juices. Your dick throbs as you imagine servicing Beaver as his ravenous pig slut. You slide your tongue down, down, down his torso, his sapor running amok on your senses until your tongue dips into the divot of his belly button.</p> <p>The musk between his pecs was a punch to your senses, but the taste of his belly button is like getting hit by a freight train. You can't maintain a thought as every nerve in your brain lights up, your sensing going haywire trying to experience this indescribable taste. You can feel yourself sweating profusely even as your skin goes cold and you begin to shiver uncontrollably. You feverishly dig your tongue into that foul, pungent crevice in Beaver’s gut. You seal your lips around it and let your saliva drool out to mingle with his gunge, forming an addictive ambrosia that you desperately seek to extract from him.</p> <p>While your very being unravels against his belly button, Beaver holds your head against his stomach, refusing to let you up for air. He doesn’t need to say a word; he knows, just as you know, that this is where you belong. You groan against his gut, the vibrations swallowed whole by his girth. Smothered in his stomach, it's as if Beaver is your whole world.</p> <p>Suddenly, the pressure on the back of your head abates, and you gasp for air, desperate to fill your screaming lungs. The runes around you have lost their light, and the supernatural lust drains from your muscles as you go limp. While the arousal fades, Beaver remains all over your senses. You have no doubt the smell and taste of him will linger on your face for hours.</p> <p>"Good effort," Beaver sucks his teeth in disappointment as he collects his hoodie, "I think you made some real progress. But you've still got a long way to go," he pauses and shoots you another carefree grin before adding, "Piglet."</p>

<p>As always, you struggle for something to say. Andre has never had the patience for small talk, and that certainly hasn't changed now that you're standing in a creepy, magic circle. After failing to come up with anything witty to say, you give up and just declare your task.</p> <p>//Lust//.</p> <p>Without a word, Andre maneuvers you like you're a piece of furniture, guiding you toward the center of the circle before giving you a firm shove to indicate he wants you on the ground. You oblige, easing yourself down. Your ass has barely touched the cold hardwood before Andre presses one of his size 14 Nikes to your shoulder and pushes you down so that you're lying flat on your back. You're speechless, staring up at this giant towering over you. Andre's eyes trace a line up your body as he considers you with what looks to be equal parts curiosity and disinterest. You could swear you see him roll his eyes before hooking both thumbs into the waistband of his basketball shorts and abruptly pushing them to the ground along with his briefs.</p> <p>Andre turns around and slowly lowers himself until he is squatting 6 inches or so above your waist. He pauses there, and you wonder what to do. Your hands hover just below his muscular ass cheeks, firm and inviting. He gives an annoyed grunt and you finally realize what he wants. You hurriedly unzip your jeans and free your erect cock. Andre slowly lowers himself. His tight thighs glisten with perspiration as his cheeks part and his musky, pink hole begins to engulf your cock inch by inch.</p> <p>When his weight is fully nestled on top of you, he slowly raises himself up, gripping your cock as he rises and sending a wave of pleasure surging up through your body and escaping in a high-pitched moan from your lips. You're in awe. Of Andre's unflinching musculature as he effortlessly does squats onto your throbbing member. Of the way he's able to slide down your shaft so easily but keep an almost vice-like grip around it as he lifts away. Hell, of the realization Andre bottoms at all.</p> <p>He quickens his pace, bouncing on your cock and making you writhe beneath him. When he's found a rhythm he seem to enjoy, Andre wraps a fist around his dick and starts pumping in time with the motion of his ass. Each time you're just on the verge of shooting into his demanding ass, Andre slows his tempo almost to a halt, seconds before you reach the tipping point. You're completely at his mercy. Trapped beneath him. Desperate for his expert hole to milk an orgasm out of you.</p> <p>When he slows again, you almost scream. Can't take this anymore! You grasp onto his hips and start bucking your own in an effort to match his previous rhythm. But he drops hard against you, pushing you painfully back into the hardwood.</p> <p>"Nah. That's not how this works." Andre emphasizes his control over you by squeezing his ass muscles tight around your cock and grinding against your hips. As he sways back and forth, he says, "Just lay back and keep quiet." He resumes, but the pace is irregular, as if he's annoyed with your interruption. He rises and falls as before but with none of the finesse or skill he'd shown before you got impatient. After another minute of Andre riding you, he gives grunts and you feel his hot cum squirt onto your exposed thighs.</p> <p>His hole tightens, and you feel the climax start to build just as Andre rises, letting your dick slip from his ass with a wet plop. A few spurts of sticky cum shoot onto your T-shirt, and you do your best to lose yourself to the pleasure, eyes shut, breathing heavy and erratic. But Andre is already nudging you with his foot.</p> <p>"Man, you think I'm going to walk around all night with your cum on my ass? Clean that shit up." You open your eyes and see Andre straddling your body. He squats again, so that his globes are hovering over your face, a couple wet droplets of your cum trailing down toward his thighs. You raise your head impulsively, sticking out your tongue to catch any moisture that falls down. But before you can get a taste, you blink and feel the haze lift. Looking around, you see the runes have dulled and the ritual is over.</p> <p>Andre pulls his shorts up and says, "Whatever. I'll get someone else to do it next round. Later."</p>

<p>Carlos follows you into the ritual circle where you declare your task before he can get bored and wander off.</p> <p>//Lust.//</p> <p>"Just what?" Carlos asks, shifting his weight impatiently from one foot to the other.</p> <p>You open your mouth to explain but, instead, a glob of drool tumbles down your chin and you stare, transfixed, on the sway of Carlos's hips. Goddamn! Those hips! How had you never noticed how his torso narrows, drawing the eye down to his almost effeminate curves. Before you know it, your hands are sliding along those haunches, moving in small circles as you guide Carlos into a more exaggerated gyration. Carlos, for his part, grunts at the sudden invasion but makes no move to stop you. You guide your hands into the waistband of his joggers and push them down until the warmth of his crotch is just starting to tickle your fingertips and Carlos's stiffening movements tells you you're about to cross the line. That's fine though; you have something else in mind.</p> <p>You slide your hands down Carlos's muscular legs, pulling his joggers down with you. As they crest the curve of his buttocks, the elastic struggles to overcome Carlos's voluptuous bottom. When his ass is fully exposed, you snap the band into place beneath his copper-brown cheeks, sending his fatty bubble butt bouncing, and exhale a pitiful moan. What an ass! This juicy, succulent bubble butt is completely wasted on a straight boy.</p> <p>You don't remember when you fell to your knees exactly. Before you can register your thoughts, your nose is hovering over Carlos's hole, filling your lungs with the sharp scent of salt and sweat and testosterone. "Woah," Carlos interjects, "What're you doing back th--" His question trails off in a high-pitched grunt as you bury your face between Carlos's cheeks, pressing your tongue flat against his perineum before dragging it up to his puckered asshole. As you slowly press your tongue into his ring, you feel Carlos shudder in front of you. His knees shake and he falls forward. If not for the barrier holding his weight, Carlos would have fallen flat on his face, but it hardly matters as long as you have access to his delicious ass. Your pace quickens and muffle a moan between Carlos's cheeks as you nibble on the fatty underside of his ass and taste every inch of surface you can reach inside his hole.</p> <p>"Dude, you've… Fuck, you've got to…" Carlos whispers breathlessly. But he makes no movement to wriggle out of your grasp or push you away. He's leaning forward, pushing off the barrier with his elbows to grind his butt harder against your face. Your moan descends into an animalistic purr as you realize Carlos--soccer star, lady's man, straight boy Carlos--is riding your face and moaning like a whore. "I'm… I'm gonna…" You squeeze Carlos's hips as his body tenses and he moans, louder than before.</p> <p>//Did he just…?// you wonder. But just then the barrier gives way and Carlos falls, face-first out of the circle. He's barely touched the ground before he's scrambling to his feet, one hand covering his crotch as he runs off, embarrassed.</p>

<p>"Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah," Carlos says, excitedly, "I'll meet you there. Two secs." You try to stop him, but Carlos is already to the hallway before you can get a word out. "Two sec!" He yells over his shoulder, "Promise!"</p> <p>Five minutes later, Carlos jogs over to you with a conspicuous workout bag slung over his shoulder and a boyish, charming smile plastered across his face. Though a little scared to find out, you ask what Carlos brought with him.</p> <p>"Not the best stuff, honestly. The room's all, like, dusty and shit. My bedspread's completely fucked, but the stuff in the drawers was pretty good. I mean, they smelled… yeah."</p> <p>He flashes you a mouthful of pearly whites and steps confidently into the circle. You wait a beat, but it's quickly obvious he has no intention of elaborating. You follow behind him, blood pounding in your ears as you declare your task.</p> <p>//Obey.//</p> <p>The runes adjourning the circle's edge alight with your declaration, illuminating Carlos’s frame in an eerie glow. The pounding in your ears slows as an unnatural calm washes over you. You look into Carlos’s eyes and see his ever present confidence: He’s always been so self-assured. It’s easy to see why he makes so many people feel at ease. He drops the bag on the ground.</p> <p>"That's it then? We're going?" Carlos's eyes sweep across the room, before he steps forward and places his hands around your waist. "Nice, okay, let's get you out of those closes." He carefully slides his hand beneath your shirt and lifts it, up and over your head. He drops the shirt onto the floor and then kneels to start rummaging around in the bag. Without looking up, he says, "All of them, yeah?"</p> <p>You undo your pants, letting them fall to the floor inelegantly. You step out of the bundle around your ankles, now with only the thin fabric of your underwear to protect you. Despite the unnatural heat filling your body, you can’t help but shiver as you stand there, exposed. You slip your thumb into the waistband of your underwear and start to shimmy them down your thigh.</p> <p>"Woah, umm–" You look up and see Carlos staring up at the ceiling, unmistakably blushing. "Just… maybe not that or… oh, actually turn around!" Without hesitation, you spin in place. A moment later, you feel Carlos's hands on your waist again, thumbs sliding beneath the elastic of your underpants. His warm breath brushes against the delicate flesh of your neck.</p> <p>"Yeah, that's better. Are you cold, Baby Doll?"</p> <p>Carlos titters in your ear while slipping the elastic band down over the curve of your butt. You gasp as Carlos releases his hold on your underwear, the elastic slapping against the bottom of your ass with a sharp snap. With another light touch, the briefs drop to the floor: the last vestiges protecting your dignity--your identity--crumpled on the ground.</p> <p>"I got you something," he whispers, extending his arm to reveal the lacy, bubble-gum pink panties angling from his fingertip. "You want to look nice for me, don't you, Babe?"</p> <p>You say nothing. Grabbing the undergarment from his hand and stepping into it is all the answer he requires. Your heart races as you slip into the panties, feeling the silky fabric caress the sensitive smooth skin of your inner thighs. You can’t help but feel a thrill run through your spine and run your fingertips across the bright lace.</p> <p>Carlos whistles from behind you, taking a matching lace bustier and wrapping it around your torso. You gasp as he tightens the garment and you feel your waist concede space, narrowing your stomach to better accentuate the curve of your hips. You look down at your chest, marveling at how the bustier pushes your pecs upward, giving the slightest suggestion of breasts. Carlos’s hand runs up your back and then begins to massage your neck.</p> <p>"Your hair would look great grown out. Okay, I'm ready. Let me see you."</p> <p>As your body complies, you're not at all sure what to expect. Maybe for Carlos to stifle a few laughs before parading you around the circle for your frat brothers to humiliate. You turn, and Carlos gasps.</p> <p>"Gorgeous." There's no malice in his voice. No humor. "You look incredible. An ex left those here, but they look much better on you. Don't you think so?"</p> <p>You nod, breathless, eyes welling with tears as you contemplate what you can ever do to repay Carlos for these gifts.</p> <p>"I'm glad. Beautiful girls like you deserve nice things." He presses his body to yours, his hands sliding up to grope your chest. You moan, but the voice that escapes your lips is pitched higher than you remember it being. You're at the brink of begging Carlos to take you right there. To ravage you and leave you dripping with his sex. Almost.</p> <p>In an instant, the ecstasy of being Carlos's doll is replaced with shame and repulsion. Where a moment ago, the garments on your body felt like slipping into your true skin for the first time now feel alien, uncomfortable, and tight. You wonder how you even managed to get them on in the first place. An itchy surge of blood rushes to your cheeks as you pull yourself away from Carlos’s embrace. You snatch up your clothes and bolt out of the ritual circle without even giving thought to whether or not the barrier was still present.</p> <p>You need to process what just happened, preferably in your own clothes. As you scramble to find somewhere private to change, you hear Carlos shout, "Hey, keep the gifts! We'll use them next time too!"</p>

<p>Danny makes a show of stretching his arms and back while entering the circle, as if expecting a wrestling match instead of… well, maybe a wrestling match isn't too far off. When it looks like he's ready, you sigh and declare your task.</p> <p>//Obey//.</p> <p>You feel like you've hardly gotten the word out before Danny utters, "On your knees," and your body races to comply with the command. In seconds, you're at a perfect height to watch Danny unzip his jeans and fish out his soft dick.</p> <p>"You want it," he says in the same soft but assured tone as before. You feel your lips part unbidden and your tongue press forward, hungry, desperate to taste his cock. Danny's left hand coaxes his member to life in slow, even strokes. His ring hangs loosely from his pinky as he rolls it up the length of his slowly-hardening cock and down again. You inch closer, fixated on this display but knowing implicitly you're not to act without permission.</p> <p>You feel Danny's right hand on the back of your head, his fingers tightening around your hair, and expect that, at any moment, Danny will yank your head forward and ram his mouth-watering cock down your throat. But he doesn't. Danny tightens his grip on your hair and tilts your head so that you're looking up into Danny's face. His lips are curved in the same wry smile you've always associated with the twins, but his eyes are dull and distant. As if he doesn't see you at all.</p> <p>"Don't sp--" Danny begins but stops himself, seemingly taking a moment to consider his next command carefully. His smile widens and he says, "//Try// not to spill any." You have no time to consider his request before Danny mercifully slides the head of his cock to your mouth and gently presses into your hungry lips. Your tongue has only just begun to caress the underside of his cockhead when you feel the first trickle of warm liquid. The stream increases, and your eyes go wide as you register the acrid flavor washing across your taste buds. Your mouth is being flooded with Danny's hot piss.</p> <p>You try to yank your head away, sliding Danny's wet cock out of your mouth but stopping just as the head reaches the edge of your lips and realizing Danny's order not to spill means you're trapped. You're his urinal until the ritual ends. Before your cheeks begin to swell, you try to swallow your revulsion along with the first mouthful of sour piss. You've barely gulped down the liquid when you feel Danny's hands intertwine against the back of your head. He jerks your head into his crotch so that your shocked gasp is smothered against his pubes and drowned in the stream of piss hitting the back of your throat. You can't breathe! Your chest is tightening and your face feels hot as you struggle in desperation. At once, your body desperately wants to cough up the liquid blocking your airway and to swallow it down. And, somehow, the compulsion not to spill any piss feels like the more life threatening even as your vision starts to blur.</p> <p>After what feels like entirely too long, Danny releases your head and gives you a hard shove, sending you tumbling over and sputtering Danny's urine onto your face and chest as you gasp for air. Your throat burns and you're still coughing when Danny shakes a few lingering drops onto your forehead and says, "Thanks for that. I had a ton to drink before all this started and, y'know, kinda spooky going to the bathroom alone with demons around or whatever. Danny zips up and exits the circle without waiting for your reply.</p>

<p>"Oh, up for some black magic fuckery? All right, hold my hand at least, geeze. This shit's creepy."</p> <p>You apologize and offer your hand, but Danny slaps it away gently.</p> <p>He laughs, "I was kidding, Bro. But, damn, you went for that quick. Are you the sentimental type or are you just falling for me?"</p> <p>You roll your eyes and, instead of answering, declare your task.</p> <p>//Bond//.</p> <p>Danny's face goes pale white. He shudders and seizes your arm, clenching it tightly against his chest. You stare down at his steely clutch and watch, horrified, as the skin beneath his fingertips begins to sag and then drip to the floor like running paint. You look to Danny for help but see only a formless, flesh-colored canvas, his features having oozed down his neck and chest to pool on the floor.</p> <p>A pit forms in your stomach as you sink into the heavy fluid. You take a hopeless gasp of air just before your head is submerged. Your eyes are closed, distorted laughter rings in your ears. Then a muffled scream.</p> <p>And then, silence.</p> <p>You open your eyes. Pitch black save for a slim line of light.</p> <p>"Please!" shouts a soft voice. There's a loud bang in front of you and then two more in quick succession. Someone pounding on a door. The voice cries out again, panicked, "I didn’t do it! I didn’t!"</p> <p>You're afraid. Desperate. You curl up at the base of the door. Through the darkness, you can sense the walls closing in on you. When you try to calm your breathing, you feel something crawl across your arm, and you scream, "Please!" You scream in a soft voice that isn't your own, "There's something in here! Please, let me out."</p> <p>"More lies," a gruff voice scoffs from beyond the door.</p> <p>"I didn't lie!"</p> <p>You bang on the door again, but it remains bolted shut. You slump to the ground, curled up at the top of the basement stairs with eyes closed and teeth gritted. The feeling of something crawling across your skin returns. Along your back. On your neck and your ears. You swat and rub where you feel them, but they scurry away just out of reach. They're under your clothes. Under your skin. On your face and inside your eyes. You try to breathe, but you're terrified they'll crawl inside your mouth and nest in your lungs. You can't breathe. You can't scream.</p> <p>You don't know how much time has passed. Your arm and ribs are sore, and you feel cold cement beneath your back.</p> <p>"Dad, please! I think he fell down the stairs," you hear your brother sob. The door swings open, a swaying bulb flickers above your head. A weight, press down on you and you shriek, Get them off me! Get–," but it's just Nate, wrapping his arms around you and sobbing. He's just a child, younger than 10, but unmistakable. You clasp your arms around him and wail, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I won't do it again! I'm…"</p> <p>"…Sorry!" Danny cries, his face buried in your chest. You're dazed but back on solid ground, standing in the ritual circle and back in your own body. Danny looks up, red-faced and hyper-ventilating. He pushes you away and begins to scratch furiously at his hair and skin.</p> <p>You reach for him, saying that it's over. He's not there anymore, but Danny recoils. His face is contorted in rage as he slows his breathing. You stand by his side, awkwardly, as he takes long, slow breaths and slowly unclenches his fists. After a final long exhale, he looks to you with an uneasy smirk.</p> <p>"Shit, that's playing dirty, huh?"</p> <p>The panic you felt in Danny's memory is still with you. There's no way he can be over it so quickly. You reach for him again, wanting to ask if he's okay. Needing to know if what you saw was real.</p> <p>Danny shrugs, "Talk about black magic fuckery." Danny pushes past you without hesitation, leaving you to process the experience alone.</p>

<p>Danny detects your unease as you follow him into the circle. He asks, "Not feeling nervous, are you? Don't fret, okay? I know what I signed up for; I'm thinking we can make it a good time for both of us." He smiles and, wow, it's actually really comforting to ignore the doom and gloom for a moment. You try to return his smile and then declare your task.</p> <p>//Lust//.</p> <p>In reply to your proclamation. runes adjourning the circle ignite with ghostly light. Simultaneously, something within you is set ablaze as heat and lust surge through your body, endowing an urgent need to get fucked by Danny. You step forward, pleading for his body. For his cock.</p> <p>Danny smiles in return, his eyes sharp as he opens his arms to invite you in. You embrace him, feeling his warm, taut muscles envelop you. As you bury your face into his chest and pits, the slightly acetic musk lingering on his skin seeps into your brain. You moan.</p> <p>"Hey, there you go. Deep breaths. Relax," He says, one hand holding your head to his chest while the other unbuttons your fly. He pushes down your pants with ease and begins to delicately massage your ass. With heavy-lids, you look up at Danny’s handsome, boyish grin.</p> <p>"You ready?"</p> <p>//Yes,// you nod. //Fuck yes.//</p> <p>"You sure? You're a bit overdressed for what comes next."</p> <p>Without taking your eyes off Danny, you awkwardly scramble to strip your clothes away. Danny does the same, saving his underwear for last as if to tease you with the outline of his stiff cock before finally letting it pop free of its cotton confines. He tilts his head back dramatically and, with a loud exaggerated //ptui!//, hocks a thick glob of saliva into his hand. His intent is clear--if a little disgusting--so you spin around and bend over, resting your hands on your knees presenting your hungry hole for inspection.</p> <p>Danny circles your quivering ring a few times before plunging one slick finger into your hole. He enters effortlessly and wastes no time penetrating you with a second wet digit.</p> <p>"Fuck," he moans, "you've had some big boys in here. It feels like you could swallow my whole wrist without a…" Danny trails off, distracted. Now with three fingers buried in your eager bottom, he starts to curiously trace a shape into your lower back with his other hand.</p> <p>You think to ask what's the matter, but Danny interrupts, "Lust. That was the five-sided one, right? Not the… Huh?! It disappeared again."</p> <p>Your veins turn to ice. //What did he see?! Did you say the wrong task?! Shit, shit, shit. Maybe it's not too late. You haven't actually fucked yet. Maybe you can back out, say another task or--//</p> <p>You were too distracted to notice Danny remove his fingers, but you're suddenly brought back to the present when the full length of Danny's hard cock rams into your ass. You yelp, as much from surprise as pain, and demand that Danny wait. //If you've really got the task wrong and he continues you're--//</p> <p>Danny grasps your hips and jerks you into him. You thought he couldn't have gone any deeper after the first thrust, but you were wrong. He relents for a moment, sliding half of his length out of your ass one arduous inch after the other. The slow retreat of his cock along your prostate sends shivers down your arms and makes your knees weak. When the motion stops, you feel as though you can finally catch your breath, but you know what's coming next. If you could just say, //Danny, please--//</p> <p>Danny pulls back on your hips while simultaneously thrusting forward. Your mind goes blank. The room fills with the soft slap of flesh on flesh as Danny pistons in and out of you. //Danny, please…// you plead, internally. //Please…//</p> <p>This is your life on the line. Your freedom. Your identity. Your soul. Each time you begin to catch your breath, Danny's brutal fucking becomes even more animalistic, lighting up every nerve in your body and clouding your thoughts in a stifling, sex-crazed fog.</p> <p>"Please, what?" Danny grunts, as he quickens his pace again. You hadn't even realized you'd been shouting between moans, but Danny's interruption restores a bit of lucidity. Maybe enough to save you.</p> <p>He offers, "Please cum up my slutty hole, Danny?"</p> <p>You can only moan in reply. Your battered hole swallows his length over and over, like the slut you crave to be. Danny's slut. Your hard, bouncing cock spatters precum onto your discarded clothes until Danny snakes a hand around to grasp ahold of your dick and stroke it furiously. You don’t last long. Your eyes roll back and your jaw hangs open, dumbly. You climax just as Danny grips the back of your hair and bites down on the nape of your neck. With a mouthful of your aching tender skin, he roars and you feel his cock pulse and shoot deep inside of you. Hot spurts of cum that feel like that might sear your depths.</p> <p>The runes' glow dissipates, and Danny finally slows, releasing your hair and letting you collapse to your knees. With ragged breath, a bruised neck, and tepid cum leaking leaking out of your ass, you look to Danny for some kind of assurance.</p> <p>He reaches out, ruffles your hair, and says, "Hey, I told you it'd be a good time." He springs to his feet and grabs his clothes on the way out of the circle.</p> <p>You try to rise and go after him, but your legs are jelly. You fall back onto your butt and then light yourself ease onto your back. //Was he serious about you getting the wrong mark? Are you about to get eliminated because you couldn't control yourself?//</p> <p>You gulp and close your eyes. At least it was some of the best sex of your life. There's worse ways to go.</p>

<p>Jonah follows you into the circle with his head down, hands in his pockets, like he's a kid that's just been called to the principal's office. You had better make this quick before he panics and changes his mind about helping you. You turn around, locking eyes with Jonah, and declare your task.</p> <p>//Obey.//</p> <p>The runes take on their eerie glow. Your heart starts to thrum as your senses and desires amplify. Jonah closes his eyes and inhales deeply, no doubt feeling that same strange energy wash over him. When he opens his eyes again, he looks impatient though still more than a little uneasy. He wets his lips, and a shiver of anticipation rushes up your spine.</p> <p>"I…" he starts, "I can make you do… whatever I want?"</p> <p>You shrug and tell him you're pretty sure that's how it works.</p> <p>"Okay," he says between anxious breaths, "Okay, I should–fuck, I feel so hot–I should make you, umm, service me right? That's what Mason would do. And Robert. They… they're in control. That's who I can be. I mean, that's who I am too."</p> <p>You nod eagerly, shifting your weight from one foot to the other. The longer Jonah talks to himself the more this compulsion to obey rises in your body. It feels as though at any moment the anticipation might tip over into agony.</p> <p>"On, umm, on your knees?" Jonah stammers before quickly adding, "I mean, on your knees, Bitch!"</p> <p>You fall forward and a wave of relief washes over you at having the opportunity to obey.</p> <p>"You like that?" Jonah grabs his crotch and says, "You want to taste my dick?"</p> <p>You nod furiously, begging for another command.</p> <p>"Good, then, uh," Jonah's hand is trembling. He nervously glances around the room, making sure you don't have an audience, before tugging on his zipper. "It's--fuck--it's stuck," he says, pulling on the fabric. "I-- They're new pants. I bought them for the party. To, y'know, make an impression. And Mason always has such nice clothes, I figured--"</p> <p>By now, the need to obey is like a spike being driven through your body. Every movement is torture, every breath pained. When you blurt out that he should just make you get his cock out, your voice is an almost unrecognizable, animalistic whine.</p> <p>"Right. Okay. Umm, get my dick out, Bitch."</p> <p>Relief! That horrible discomfort evaporates the moment you surrender to the command. As though on instinct, your fingers scramble for Jonah's crotch and have already slid down his zipper before you can even register the movement. Your fingertips glide across his cotton briefs, slipping into his fly. They hook around the edge of his underwear and you feel the warmth of his stiff flesh.</p> <p>"Stop!" Jonah yells, stepping back.</p> <p>You freeze in place with your hand still outstretched, shocked but oh so content to do as you're told.</p> <p>"I mean, that's… that's not what I want anymore." Jonah is trembling, and you realize his resistance must be nearly as uncomfortable to him as it has been for you. His eyes dart around the room again, but whatever he's worried about isn't enough to stop him from saying, "Just, lie on your back and stare at the ceiling. Don't get out of that position unless I tell you to."</p> <p>You push your legs out in front of you and then ease your back to the floor. You can hear Jonah shuffling forward but can't see anything from this position--not even the ceiling through the dim illumination. The inky blackness above, the immobility of your limbs, you feel almost as if you're floating. The only sensations keeping you grounded are the cold hardwood to your back and Jonah's ginger touch at your ankle as he slides off one shoe and then the other. His grip is so delicate, you're not even sure when he started. When both shoes are off, Jonah sets about removing your socks. He lifts your ankle slightly off the ground and gently rolls the fabric down until your foot is exposed to the cool air.</p> <p>Something warm and soft grazes the sole of your foot and then presses in, slowly. When Jonah exhales and his breath wafts across the other foot, you realize his flushed, hairless cheek is pressed against you. After a long pause of just feeling his cheek against your foot, Jonah begins to brush his face up and down along your sole. Those wet, slightly parted lips you admired slide across the balls of your feet as he slowly sways his head from side to side. When he stops, it's to move to the other foot, this time pushing your toes apart with his nose and pressing his tongue flat against your sole.</p> <p>You're not sure what to expect. You think at any moment he might lap at your heel like an eager puppy or moan into your big toe as he slurps it into his mouth. But you're left wondering, staring into nothingness, as Jonah slides his tongue up your foot so gently and silently that it's easy to forget he's there at all. The runes' flickering glow sends light dancing across the low-hanging mist. It's as if you're suspended in air beneath a silent thunderstorm with the occasional jolt of lightning sending a pleasant sensation of warmth along your feet. You're not sure if, in actuality, the flesh delicately tickling you is Jonah's tongue, his finger, or his dick, but you're unable to look and sinking further and further away from caring. You surrender yourself to the serene weightlessness.</p> <p>"Hey, you finished? I need the space."</p> <p>Your eyes flutter open to see <<if $char[3].alive is true>>Robert<<elseif $char[1].alive is true>>Zach<<else>>Mason<</if>> standing over you. You must have dozed off, though you can't remember when. Whatever Jonah did, he didn't stick around after, and it's time you moved on too.</p>

<p>"Umm, actually, I'm having second thoughts," Kevin complains. Second thoughts; third thoughts; eighth thoughts; he hasn't stopped complaining since you started walking toward the circle. "I mean, maybe… maybe we're supposed to resist, right? Remain pure to defeat the, uh, the demon?" He sounds defeated. Unconvinced.</p> <p>You tell him it's going to be fine. It's your task after all, so he's not putting himself on the line. This seems to calm him down a little. At least until you declare your task.</p> <p>//Obey//.</p> <p>"Obey?! Of course," Kevin asserts, suddenly irate again, "I've heard that before. You frat-bro types are all the same: empty heads and throbbing dicks."</p> <p>You want to tell this guy where he can shove his comment. He barely even knows you after all, but your head has begun to feel fuzzy. Dull. Like your indignation is being smothered in warm cotton. Wait… indig…nation? Such a big word. You chuckle dumbly, mouth agape as you try to grasp what that word means, but it's getting harder and harder to focus as warmth trickles down from your empty head to your throbbing, engorged cock.</p> <p>"And I know you're not supposed to say this," Kevin continues, his voice dripping with vitr.. vitr… oil?… umm, meanness. Yeah, he's being so mean. "But you gay frats are the worst of all, because you think you're woke and enlightened but you're just as bad. You don't care who you bully or pressure. You want to get your butt filled just like those idiot neanderthals want to get their dicks wet."</p> <p>The warmth pervading your body rushes upward and then cascades down your spine in a cold shiver that ends at your hole. You feel it twitch and pucker, suddenly unbearably empty. You whimper in confusion, unsure what to do to get Kevin to stop talking and help you. When he responds with nothing but another sneer of contempt, you reach forward and begin fumbling with the zipper of his pants. //Why does he have to wear such tight jeans?// Your fingers seem heavy and indelicate as you struggle with what should be a simple task.</p> <p>"Woah, you actually…" Kevin's voice cracks a little and he covers his crotch with both hands, keeping you from your prize. "Ahem, I mean, right. Yeah, because you're a imbecillic fuck boy, right? You're admitting it." You nod eagerly, a pout on your face while you wait for the mean man to stop teasing you. "Fuck yeah," he whispers and unbuttons his jeans before shimming them down to his knees. He reaches to lower his tight white briefs, but you beat him to it. You yank the underwear down and lunge forward to take his hefty pale dick into your mouth. It's barely half-hard but you don't care. You're a stupid fuck boy. His cock slowly comes to life between your lips, filling your mouth with the same pleasant warmth that envelops your brain.</p> <p>"Yeah, umm… You like that," Kevin sputters, pausing a long time before adding, "Bitch. You like my--" His voice cracks again before devolving into a high-pitched and incoherent moan. At the same time, his dick spasms and slips from your lips, trickling a few small drops of cum onto your chin as Kevin staggers backwards. //Is that all?! No, you need your holes filled! You're an empty-headed… Wait, what were you doing?// Your thoughts return slowly, the haze that had been suffocating your mind lifting as the hunger in your mouth and anus subsides. Kevin mumbled something that sounded vaguely like, "You're welcome," as he scrambled to cover himself up and slink away to somewhere less public.</p>

<p>With each step toward the magic circle, you wonder if you should have asked someone else instead. Zach's confident strut and crooked smile is causing dread to pool in the pit of your stomach. When you're both standing in the center of the ritual site, you sigh and declare your task in a trembling whisper.</p> <p>//Obey//.</p> <p>Zach's smile fades. He furrows his brow and says, "You came to me knowing that was your task?"</p> <p>You nod meekly.</p> <p>"I'm flattered. It means everything," he interrupts mid-sentence to add, "kneel for me," and you drop to your knees, purring gently as your compliance is rewarded with a swift jolt of pleasure. Zach continues, "thank you. It means everything to have my brothers' trust. Now, you must know the sorts of men I like. Heard rumors at least."</p> <p>You //had// heard the rumors. In the four years you've known him, Zach has never brought home a boyfriend to meet the fraternity. He's never talked about a crush or recounted a past romance. Still, every now and then, he'll bring someone back to the frat house to stay in his room for a week or two. Sometimes they're the sort of people you might expect a charming college athlete to pursue: young, fit, popular. But that's the minority. More often than not, Zach brings home someone you wouldn't call 'conventionally attractive.' College freshman that have put on well past the freshman fifteen; stick-thin guys with acne scars or greasy, unkempt hair; once he even had a guy over a burly, bear of a man that must have been in his 50's at least. You heard he was a highschool football coach or something like that.</p> <p>"Answer me!" Zach commands impatiently.</p> <p>You sharply answer that yes, you've heard the rumors. Sensing Zach's dissatisfaction, you quickly add a 'Sir' to your reply.</p> <p>For all their differences, these men have at least one thing in common. The routine went like this. For a few days, they would awkwardly hang around on the periphery, chatting a bit with the frat brothers in the evenings and spending their nights in Zach's room. But over the week they would withdraw, becoming more reserved, until eventually refusing to speak to anyone but Zach and never making eye contact, even when cleaning up around the house or serving Zach his meals at the table.</p> <p>The frat publicly likes to joke that Zach likes them shy and is looking for a house-husband. But, privately, you suspect you know what Zach's conquests are getting out of these liaisons: the opportunity to serve. The relationships--though you're not sure that's the word you'd use--never last long. One day, they're just gone, and Zach goes about his day like they never existed at all.</p> <p>"And you still chose me to obey. Well then," Zach's voice is low and forceful, "show me."</p> <p>Your body lurches forward to wrap your arms around Zach's burly leg. Blood is rushing to your head. You feel dizzy. Heat surges through your body. Every fiber of your being is desperate to comply with the command, but you're not sure how. You don't know what Zach did to his servants behind his bedroom door. Did he fuck them? You shudder, and your hole involuntarily puckers at the thought. //God, you hope so.// But you're not sure. Jax and Nate are the only two that you know for sure hooked up with a couple of Zach's guests.</p> <p>//Is that it?// You look from side to side, despondent when you see that the two of you are alone in the circle. //Did Zach make his slaves lust for him just to push them off on his friends? Maybe he never touched them at all, just made them live in perpetual agony waiting for the day he would take an interest.//</p> <p>Your head aches with frustration, and your body feels like it's being torn in two. You have to figure out how to follow Zach's order before it destroys you, but all you can do is whimper helplessly.</p> <p>Zach gives a pitying, "Aww," and reaches down to stroke your hair. "Don't trouble yourself, Little Brother. I'll give you the answer." With a soft pull, he tilts your head up to look him in the eyes. "It's not complicated. All I want from my slaves is that they show me gratitude for teaching them their place. So…" Zach lifts his leg out of your grasp and pulls off his shoe and low-cut sock in the same smooth motion, "…show me your gratitude."</p> <p>Your face burns with humiliation, but you know what you have to do. An endless stream of 'Thank you, Sirs' pours from your mouth as you kiss your way down Zach's shin to the top of his pungent bare foot. There, you truly understand what it is to grovel. The words flow out of you as if you've been planning them since the first time you and Zach met. You mumble how inferior you are to such a perfect, handsome, intelligent man while suckling the grime off of Zach's big toe. Your tongue greedily laps up the salty moisture from between the crevices of his toes while you struggle to articulate how Zach deserves to make every lesser man his slave.</p> <p>You move to the other foot, lifting it gently off the ground, so you can roll your tongue along the sole of his shoe. Zach deserves to not be sullied by filth and it's only right that you take your proper place beneath him.</p> <p>You're greedily rubbing your cheek against the leather cleats and pleading for him to forgive your years of insolence when Zach interrupts, "Shh, you've taken a good first step. Let's stop; you're making a mess of yourself."</p> <p>At Zach's cue, the runes surrounding you lose their glow and you lose the compulsion to serve… You think. Your face feels hot; you can't bear to look Zach in the eyes after that humiliating display. Your shirt collar is soaked in saliva, and your underwear is sodden with precum.</p> <p>"Hey, you. Down there. Look at me."</p> <p>You wonder if the magic is having a lasting effect on you; since, despite the shame welling up in you, you don't hesitate to look up at his command.</p> <p>"It's alright. You don't have anything to feel bad about. No one's really surprised by this; I know I'm not."</p> <p>You're stunned silent. You watch Zach walk away, mortified that you can't stop yourself from fixating on his freshly-cleaned feet.</p>

<p>Zach jogged to the circle ahead of you and is already waiting impatiently by the time you step over its runic border and declare your task.</p> <p>//Bond.//</p> <p>The ghostly light emanating from the symbols casts a writhing shadow across Zach's face. You sense something familiar about this scene. Him, alone, surrounded by radiance but his face shrouded in darkness. You've seen this before. A hazy memory, something you deemed insignificant and discarded, is coming into sharp relief more vividly than you could have ever constructed without the ritual's aid.</p> <p>It was around three in the morning, just a couple of hours after one of Zach's ragers had finally died down. In the preceding evening, you had drunk yourself stupid, struck out, blacked out, and ultimately fell asleep slumped over the arm of the living room sofa. You awoke only briefly and, through heavy eyelids and a lingering buzz, noted the lights were still on. As was a projector casting music videos on a loop across the opposite wall. Someone had at least remembered to turn off the speakers, so the room was mostly silent. The only sound to be heard was a low, incongruous scraping.</p> <p>With monumental effort, you managed to lift your head and spy Zach sprawled out on the loveseat and sluggishly grasping for a bottle of whiskey on the end table. His reach was just short of the mark, however, so he only managed to repeatedly graze the bottle with his fingertips, scraping it along the wooden tabletop and farther away. After a few fruitless tries, the bottle slipped off the table and thudded to the floor.</p> <p>This loss seemed to break something in Zach. His hand stiffly recoiled, and he began manically rubbing his palms into his forehead. Hot and bitter tears fell down his face, dissolving his mask of charming composure. He gritted his teeth and swallowed down a silent scream.</p> <p>Without making a sound, Zach told you he was utterly alone. This massive party, his campaign for frat president, they suddenly seemed like futile attempts to distract Zach from the gnawing silence that follows a man that doesn't know how to love others. You sense in his anguished, twisted expression hopelessness and self-loathing.</p> <p>Zach breaks your reverie with a hard shove and says, "What the fuck? You were spying on me?"</p> <p>You stammer for an answer, reasoning that Zach must have seen your memory as well so there's no point in lying. You tell him you just woke up for a minute and passed out again right away; you didn't mean to stare.</p> <p>This reply does nothing to stem Zach's fury. He shouts, "You think you've got me figured out?! So I was a little fucking annoyed. I worked my ass off for four years just so Robert could talk shit behind my back and an endless line of sycophants could cozy up to me just for a shot at Jax's dick. That shit's frustrating, but you're going to stand there and pretend like you //get// me now?"</p> <p>You tell Zach you didn't mean to remember that night or to read into it like that. It was the ritual. The ritual, you note, which appears to have ended.</p> <p>Zach takes a quick glance and, seeing the runes have lost their color, sighs, "Yeah, it's fine. Just remember we had this talk the next time you think you've got something worked out, okay? Come to me first."</p> <p>You say you'll do just that and turn to leave the circle.</p> <p>Zach grabs your arm and spins you around. "To. Me. First. Got it? <<if $char[3].alive is true>>Not Robert. <</if>><<if $char[0].alive is true>>Not Jax. <</if>><<if $char[10].alive is true>>Not Mason. <</if>>Me."</p> <p>You nod. Zach stares at you for a beat before finally releasing your arm and pushing past you on his way out.</p>

<p>//Lust//.</p> <p>This may not be your brightest idea, but fuck damn if this moment isn’t turning your knees to jelly. What is it about this situation that is turning you on so much? Zach's two-faced. He's manipulative and a bully. Yet this is the most excited you--and your dick--have been all night.</p> <p>"Lust, huh?" Zach muses, "That's not much of an ask. You know, I always thought it was a little weird we never hooked up. Something tells me you're my… type."</p> <p>That word--type--gives you goosebumps, but you can't deny it's easy to lust after Zach, magic circle or no. Though he's leaner than Jax, you know that his well-toned muscles pack almost as much power as the frat’s strongest member. No, his lower body most probably carries even more power than Jax’s. And, unlike Jax, Zach puts effort into his appearance. He //wants// people to ogle his smooth chest and tight abs.</p> <p>Zach gives you a shove that's just a bit too harsh to be playful and says, "But you're not interested, right? You've had four years to make a move after all."</p> <p>His words hurt more than the sting in your chest where he pushed you. Your mouth is dry, but you do your best to mutter an apology. Whatever your feelings before, right now you want--need--to feel Zach's body.</p> <p>Zach looks away, disinterested, "Yeah, I don't know. Four years of indifference is a lot to get over after just one apology."</p> <p>You fall to all fours in an instant and crawl your way to Zach before planting your forehead to the ground. You don’t exactly know why you thought this would work, but in the next few seconds you profusely apologize to Zach, insisting you've always lusted after him. If he'll just give you a chance, you'll show how much you want to worship his incredible body.</p> <p>He steps forward, and puts the tip of his right foot under your chin, slowly craning your head upwards until you're staring up into his smug sneer. "Worship… there's an idea. Since I'm such a magnanimous guy, I'll accept your apology…"</p> <p>Your ass gives an involuntary sway. Your heart flutters.</p> <p>"…if you prove you're serious. If you want to worship my body, you can start here." He taps your chin a couple times with the toe of his cleat, "with my shoes."</p> <p>You're stunned. Your mouth hangs open as your eyes fall down Zach's body--driving home the cruel reality that this golden adonis won't fuck you--and settling finally on Zach's feet. You know on a logical level that what he’s asking of you is utterly humiliating, and you would be completely submitting to a serious debasement of your dignity. But being this close to Zach, having his scent barely entering your nostrils, you simply can’t resist. You feel your willpower slowly draining away as you reach out towards the shoe under your chin with one hand.</p> <p>Before it can make contact, Zach pulls his foot out from underneath you and stomps your outstretched wrist. You groan in pain. It feels as though Zach--the best kicker on the university football team and an ex-soccer player--didn't golf back at all, your wrist could almost snap under the pressure.</p> <p>He sounds annoyed when he corrects you, "Serious people use their mouths."</p> <p>You say you're sorry and beg for him to release you. He charitably does. Your arm trembling, this time you make sure to please Zach properly, inching forward as you press your face to his shoes. You arch your back, pressing further as you inhale the smell of Zach’s sweat, strong and permeating through the fabric of his well-worn cleats. You thought you were doing well, when Zach suddenly pushes your head down with his hand. Grunting, you try to figure out what he wants when it occurs to you that you’re supposed to //worship//, not to enjoy yourself.</p> <p>And so you open your mouth. And you start licking.</p> <p>Zach seems pleased, easing the pressure on your head. You feel the firmness of his feet and muscles as Zach crouches down to a more comfortable position, very obviously wanting to observe your face up close as you lick his shoes clean. Your face must be beet red. After all, you can feel it burning as you go on, savoring each second that passes where you’re allowed to please and worship Zach. Though your tongue is getting dry and your movement is slower as you’re starting to get overwhelmed by the acrid tastes, your dick is pulsating, dripping precum constantly.</p> <p>"Look at you go, Man. You're a natural. Open up!"</p> <p>You feel Zach flex his toes before shoving his foot into your open mouth, trying to jam it in as deep as possible. It feels as though your mouth is being split open, though you imagine he can't have actually fit in more than an inch or so. Either way, you love it. Eyes rolled back, you try to lick the underside of his shoe while stretching your mouth wider. Zach pulls out his shoe and drool streams down your lower lips and onto the floor. You sputter for air, only then realizing you hadn't been breathing.</p> <p>The lingering taste on your tongue is intoxicating, it's orgasmic, it's… //Fuck, it's disgusting!// You frantically wipe your tongue with the bottom of your shirt and try to spit up the taste of leather, dust, and who knows what else.</p> <p>"Damn," Zach laments, "Done already. You were really enjoying yourself there for a minute."</p> <p>He rises without missing a beat. He’s about to leave the circle when you grab him by his ankle. You’re still on the floor, looking like an absolute mess. You glare up at him and ask what the hell that was for.</p> <p>Zach shrugs, "It's the circle, Man. I didn't exactly agree to help you with that in mind. I mean, you were jerking yourself off that whole time my shoe was in your mouth. You telling me that was the plan?"</p> <p>You look down and see your rigid dick still in hand. You cover yourself, somehow turning an even brighter shade of red. You insist that of course that wasn't your intention and a dozen other excuses, but Zach is already gone. Even if his tastes still very vivid in your mouth.</p>

<p>Robert seems slightly nervous. He probably feels a little guilty about doing this with you instead of Kai, but his sense of responsibility for the frat won't let him refuse you. You don't mean to take advantage of his kindness--especially if he's uncomfortable--but you're not okay with being vulnerable in front of just anyone.</p> <p>Despite your misgivings, you both enter the magic circle resolutely. You take a deep breath and declare your task.</p> <p>//Obey//.</p> <p>The ritual circle crackles to life, the runes illuminating to signal you've begun. You stare at Robert as if to say, 'Well, now what?' He doesn't say anything immediately, just returns your gaze. Were Robert's eyes always this beautiful? The glimmering runes dance across his irises like sprites through the fog. You start to sweat, imagining those blue-gray eyes staring down at you from above as Robert enfolds his naked body with yours in a mating press. You place a hand on Robert's chest and rub sensually.</p> <p>"I–" Robert ventures, "maybe just a kiss?" He shakes his head and clears his throat before resuming, more forcefully, "Kiss me."</p> <p>Your heart leaps. You take a step forward so that you and Robert can intertwine in a warm embrace. Holding each other gently, your lips lock.</p> <p>You grip him tighter.</p> <p>When your lips meant, there wasn't a spark; an entire fireworks show is going off in your head, each neuron lighting up and exploding in a kaleidoscope of radiance. Shivers everywhere! Your tongue follows, passionately. You can't help yourself. Neither, apparently, can Robert. Robert uses his delicate tongue to massage your own while it eagerly explores the confines of his mouth. Long an expert at adjusting to his frat brothers' needs, Robert picks up the rhythm when you slow down; when you push, he relents. It’s a perfect kiss.</p> <p>Robert places his hands on your shoulder and takes a step back, prying your lips apart. You want more. You want to feel his body, to be wrapped in his warmth and his presence. You understand how people fall in love with this man. You lean your head forward to steal another kiss, but Robert holds you firmly in place.</p> <p>"That's enough," Robert says.</p> <p>//No! This can't end.// You struggle against Robert, pleading with him to accept your adoration.</p> <p>"Stop!" Robert commands. He tilts his head and adds, "He obeyed me, all right? We're done."</p> <p>You're frozen in place, unable to move or speak as your heart is ripped in two and your skin goes cold. Your disappointment, it seems, is shared by the ritual circle. The runes flare and pulse bitterly before finally, reluctantly, beginning to gradually fade.</p> <p>When their light has gone out, Robert sighs and says, "I guess that's that." He swipes the cold sweat off his brow and looks at you, blushing. "Sorry about that. I didn't mean to, you know, take advantage."</p> <p> //Take advantage?!// you think, incredulous. You were on the verge of begging to ride Robert's cock while screaming out your undying love. You yearned to be bred and live forever as his subservient househusband and broodmare. Was Robert not feeling any of that intensity, or is his willpower really just leagues beyond your own?</p> <p>You don't get an answer. Robert pats you on the shoulder reassuringly and makes his way out of the circle, his taste still lingering on your lips.</p>

<p>Nate saunters into the ritual circle with his usual carefree demeanor. Not wanting to risk him backing out for no other reason than 'it might be funny,' you immediately declare your task.</p> <p>//Bond//.</p> <p>"Bond," Nate mimics, "James Bond." The runes begin to sparkle and dance, much to Nate's amusement. His antics, though still annoying, are softening you. His smile is infectious, a comforting beacon in an otherwise bleak… ocean.</p> <p>//That's a weirdly flowery analogy,// you think, but it didn't come from nowhere. The area just outside of the circle is darker than before. You can no longer make out the sofa or walls. Outside of your circle of illumination, there is only thick inky blackness. So too have the sounds of the old home been suffocated by the encroaching darkness, and all you can hear is ocean, the irregular rumble of water lapping at the shore. The darkness advances, oozing over the lighted runes, extinguishing the only remaining light. You call out for Nate, but the only reply is the crash of waves and your own panicked breathing.</p> <p>Then, a whistle blaring in your ears, a splash, the roar of a cheering crowd. You blink through a sudden, blinding light, and see you're surrounded by people, all facing the same direction and shouting, clapping, cheering for the spectacle below: Nate and Danny, the twin stars of the college swim team. They're neck and neck with each other but quickly leaving the competition behind as they tear through the water ferociously. They're about to touch the opposite wall in tandem, a photo finish! The crowd roars, leaping into the air, and then crashing against the bleachers like sea spray, dissolving into a great, multi-colored wave of water that surges all around you.</p> <p>When it passes, you're dripping wet and standing in the teams' locker room. //That's right, now you remember.// You didn't attend many of Nate and Danny's swim meets; most of the frat brothers played a sport of some kind, so you'd never have a free weekend if you went to all of their events. But you made an exception that day when Nate called you in a frenzy, saying he forgot his and Danny's lucky goggles and begging you to bring his gym bag.</p> <p>You strutted into the locker room, ready to chew Nate out for making you into his delivery boy. But you found him hunched over a trash can, gripping the rim with white knuckles. When he saw you, he opened his mouth to speak and then promptly turned to vomit into the receptacle. You reasoned whatever hangover had him doubled over in agony just minutes from his competition was punishment enough, so you never brought the favor up again.</p> <p>Only now do you realize what you saw in Nate wasn't nausea; it was dread. You witnessed an old wound being peeled back open with a scalpel. You wonder what it was that triggered so much anxiety when this scene bursts into a trillion droplets and splashes to the ground.</p> <p>Thankfully, this time you've returned to the ritual circle with Nate rather than to another faded memory. Sound and light have returned to the world, and the runic circle is no longer shining a light onto you and Nate--not because it's been swallowed up by a maddening darkness but because the ritual has ended. <p>You're almost too embarrassed to say it, but you have to know. You ask Nate if he's really afraid of the water.</p> <p>Nate tries to put on the same cheerful smile as before, but you can tell he's shaken. He chuckles weakly and says, "Not all the time. Not most of the time. Just… sometimes." He pauses then adds, "But tell you what, you don't say anything I won't tell the guys you're scared of the dark. You were whimpering like a little girl, Bro, seriously." Nate laughs again, this time more convincingly.</p> <p>You're not laughing. You're not sure if your voice conveys more concern or confusion--both are appropriate--when you ask Nate 'Why?' Why would he stay on the swim team? Why would he subject himself to that day in and day out if there was even a chance he'd react that way.</p> <p>"Because Danny loves to swim." Nate doesn't seem to understand why this wouldn't be a satisfactory answer. When you press the issue he retorts, "Sure, whatever. Listen, I'm for real about that deal. We might be magically dry again, but I think I see a little piss stain on your jeans there. It could just be our little secret," he's already walking away from you when he calls over his shoulder, "Think about it!"</p>

<p>Kai walks around the ritual circle, occasionally stopping to inspect a rune and then scribbling a note in his sketchbook. After completing a full rotation, he encloses the book around his pencil and looks at you, raising an eyebrow as if to say, 'What are you waiting for?'</p> <p>You mumble an apology, clear your throat, and declare your task.</p> <p>//Obey//.</p> <p>Kai has always intrigued you. He carries himself with a quiet dignity that's unusual around a frat that mostly caters to macho jock-types. You're used to hard muscles, glistening abs, but Kai has a delicate beauty that's so unlike the men of your fraternity. He's an easy man to admire and would no doubt be a pleasure to serve.</p> <p>//Wait…// You realize the ritual circle had been working its magic on you without you even noticing. While it's true that you've stolen a glance or two at Kai over the years, the compulsion to bow your head to him and embrace a life as his thankless servant is entirely new and unnatural.</p> <p>"Perfect," Kai says as he gingerly lowers his sketchbook to the ground, "I hoped that's what it would be. Here, take this." Kai slides off his scarf and offers it to you.</p> <p>Kai observes you curiously as you carefully reach out to accept the scarf as though it is a fragile and treasured gift. When your fingertips graze fabric, your heart flutters. What a joy to hold master's things! What ecstasy it is to obey!</p> <p>"Help me undress."</p> <p>It's an invitation too wondrous to resist. Before you can process your good fortune, your body has already sprung forward to assist. Kai shrugs his coat from his shoulders, letting you glide the light garment down his arms. You sling his coat over your shoulder with Kai's scarf and, when you're ready, Kai lifts his hands into the air so you can remove his shirt. You lift, slowly, careful not to let your knuckles graze Kai's silken torso.</p> <p>Kai stands in front of you, bare-chested and beautiful. When you move forward to help him remove his pants, he lifts his hand and says, "No, leave them. That's enough."</p> <p>He ponders you again for a minute, taking careful note of the twitch in your fingertips and the longing in your eyes. You want him to see in you whatever it is he's looking for, but you don't know what it is and, without a means of expressing your desire to serve, anxiety is creeping into your limbs.</p> <p>Finally, Kai speaks: "Touch me."</p> <p>Your hand darts forward but pauses just before making contact with Kai's chest. The command echoes in your mind.</p> <p>//Touch me. Touch me. Touch me. Touch me. Touch me.//</p> <p>But what does he mean? His voice was so steady. So flat. You want to slide your palm along his hip, drop to your knees and softly kiss his belly, slip his supple pink nipple between your lips. But you understand implicitly that to obey is to do not just what Kai commands but what he //wants//. What does Kai want?!</p> <p>Your eyes dart back and forth frantically as you dissect Kai's words, his tone, his affect, searching for some hint that will release you from your paralysis. You look into Kai's eyes, expecting to see an impatient scowl that will confirm you to be a worthless, disobedient wretch. Instead, he watches your struggle with amusement.</p> <p>At last, you have your answer. Your muscles unclench and you lean forward so that your index finger comes to rest in the center of Kai's chest. He laughs. Tension drains from your body as a rapturous sense of pride wells up to replace it. Kai was testing you, you realize. He didn't care what you did, only that you did something he could observe. He tested you, and you passed. You're almost brought to tears by the thought that perhaps you can be a servant worthy of this perfect being.</p> <p>Kai touches your cheek gently with his hand and whispers, "Good… Now mark me."</p> <p>You take a moment to consider the request and then, thinking yourself very clever, take Kai's wrist in your hand and guide it down from your face. You hold his hand out in front of you, palm up, and then press your thumb into the meaty area above his wrist. When you lift your thumb, the area beneath is paler than the surrounding skin for just an instant. You look up from the task, eager to see Kai's reaction and feel the pleasure of obedience, but he's not looking at his palm. He's staring straight into your eyes and shaking his head impatiently.</p> <p>Kai leans into you, letting his lithe body drape against yours. He nuzzles your neck with his chin and then whispers, "Mark me… permanently." Kai punctuates his command with a swift bite to your earlobe, dispelling any misconceptions.</p> <p>Your lips part slightly, and you glide them along Kai's neck and down to his shoulder, stopping when Kai momentarily tightens his embrace. He moans softly as you tilt your head so that a patch of skin is trapped between an upper and lower canine. You pause, briefly resisting the urge to obey in hopes Kai will say that it's enough. But he doesn't.</p> <p>You clench your jaw; Kai gasps. His fingertips dig into your back and he howls, "Harder!"</p> <p>The muscles in your neck tense. You feel nauseous as the resistance between your teeth suddenly lessens and you taste hot copper. Kai moans, "More!" but you release his shoulder and stumble away.</p> <p>The puncture on Kai's shoulder is smaller than you expected--not much more than a pinprick, really--but the area surrounding it is swollen and a grotesque shade of black and blue. You feel sick.</p> <p>Kai touches a finger to his shoulder and then rubs a spot of blood between his fingertips. He is breathing heavy, lips curling into a half-smile, when he seems to remember you're there. When he reaches out, you flinch, but he's just grabbing the clothes you had draped over your shoulder.</p> <p>"Listen," Kai says, "it looks way worse than it is. I promise. Are you going to be okay?" You're not convinced, but Kai seems genuinely concerned by your reaction and, with his shirt and coat back on, it's almost like it never happened.</p> <p>You tell Kai you're okay if he's okay.</p> <p>"Great," he replies, relieved. "I think we learned a lot."</p> <p>//Learned?// You were so freaked out by Kai's shoulder, you almost forgot what you were doing in the circle in the first place. You certainly didn't register when the runes stopped glowing and the ritual ended, but you pray it was after Kai said, 'Harder.'</p>

<p>Mason steps beside you and presses his hand to the small of your back to gently guide you toward the ritual circle. He's not impatient just… comforting. And, when you're both standing in the center of the circle, you don't hesitate to declare your task.</p> <p>//Obey//.</p> <p>The runes surrounding you begin to glow, but you can't take your eyes off of Mason. He's overwhelming. Even just standing there, you can feel his charisma radiating. He’s a man that knows what he wants, and more importantly, how to get what he wants. He’s a man with a reputation, one that you’ve heard repeated a dozen times from upperclassmen over the years. As if reading your thoughts, Mason smirks. Your knees feel weak.</p> <p>"Relax, Kid. It's okay to enjoy yourself."</p> <p>You nod, feeling your muscles release the tension you didn’t know was there. Your heart is thumping as you realize that Mason gave you a subtle command and you followed without thinking. Always the smooth talker.</p> <p>"Good. Hold still a moment." Mason casually approaches. He circles you, inspecting your body, and says, "We haven't had much time together this week. Just you and me. Alone." When he's fully behind you, he steps closer so that his body is just inches from yours and his warm breath is making the hairs on the back of your neck stand. He leans into your ear and says, "Not bad at all."</p> <p>Mason lifts your shirt a couple of inches and places a smooth palm on your waist, hooking and dipping his fingers slightly below the band of your pants. Your body shudders at his touch, already wanting more. He leans into your ear and whispers.</p> <p>"Patience. Don't worry. Don't think. Just feel your body. My touch. Us here, now."</p> <p>Each word uttered in his low voice is like a blast of heat across your mind. Thoughts melt away with each assault until only physical sensation remains. He starts rubbing your earlobe between his lips and his hand glides to your front, pushing gently on your stomach and getting dangerously close to the pubic area just above your raging erection. You moan and, on cue, Mason pushes his chest against your back, his other hand circling around to find your chest. His fingers dance along your pecs before landing on your erect nipple. <p>You didn't know you could be so aroused from such a gentle touch. Nothing is haphazard about Mason’s movements. The subtle grazing of your nipple. His hips swaying into yours. His lips hovering an inch from your neck. They're each perfectly executed to make you lose yourself in his arms. Mason's breathing slows, adjusting to match your moaning. The force of his touch oscillates with the beating of your heart. The gyration of his hips against you is in time with your shuddering breath.</p> <p>Without stopping, Mason rests his chin on your neck. You feel his stubble grazing you as his words vibrate down your spine, "Tell me the truth. Tell me what you want."</p> <p>You're not sure. For a moment, you forgot wants, needs, identity. You were a formless, faceless mass of pleasure and anticipation. Mason's right hand slides lower, making you gasp sharply as his fingertips meet the base of your cock. Though you find it difficult to compose your thoughts, you finally manage to blurt out your truth between short breaths. You want to throw away everything that you are and become nothing more than an extension of Mason's body: a needy, leaking, appendage for Mason to play with as he would his own magnificent cock.</p> <p>Mason chuckles, his left hand slips further up your torso to emerge from the neck of your t-shirt and softly grip your throat. He forces your head back and kisses your neck before saying, "I could take everything from you. Is that what you want?"</p> <p>You blurt out a desperate 'yes' without a thought. But with your declaration, the runes lose their luster, and you feel your thoughts returning. Mason removes his hands and circles back in front of you, smiling as he watches you struggle to collect your thoughts. The fog in your mind is slowly clearing, but each time you think you can grasp a complete thought, you fixate instead on Mason’s hands, his lips, his muscles. You already miss his touch.</p> <p>Mason smiles down at you. "Easy, Boy. Long night ahead of us."</p>

<p>…Jax.</p> <p>"Keep pointing that finger at me, Bitch," Jax shouts, pounding the barrier with his fist, "In about two seconds, I'm going to shove it up your ass!" When his fist collides a final time, the barrier shimmers a bright red and then vanishes, sending Jax stumbling forward. Someone gasps, no doubt thinking the same as you: //he made it out! Maybe you really can fight this.// You're still processing this revelation, but Jax doesn't hesitate to capitalize on this development. He launches forward, colliding into the creature's broad chest and--with a feral scream and a wet thud--slams it into the ground. Dazed or unconscious, the Incubus makes no move to defend itself as Jax straddles its chest and rains gruesome blows down onto its head.</p> <p>After that brief second of shocked silence, the room erupts in noise. From their individual confines, the others are screaming encouragement: "Yeah, Jax! Fuck him up!" "Keep going!" "You got him. End it!" Jax adds his own savage roar to the commotion; it's almost enough to drown out the sickening squelch of wet flesh being pulverized under his fists. The relentless assault is gaining speed and ferocity by the second. Jax's biceps bulge before each lightning-fast blow, and his knuckles and forearms are turning red from the heat and exertion.</p> <p>Without slowing his onslaught, Jax throws his head back and releases another enraged bellow. But it's strange; the sound is brutish and animalistic. You and the other onlookers are shocked silent as Jax's ragged breathing grows deeper--more monstrous. He's not merely flexing his biceps anymore, they're clearly expanding. The thin straps of his muscle tee are lost between the two granite-like mounds of flesh where his shoulders meet his thick slab of a neck. The fabric is pulled across his chest, stretching to its limit before tearing and falling away in tatters. Every muscle swells to obscene proportions, and his body stretches to an inhuman height. As his thighs push outward to become massive pillars, Jax's pants and underwear shred to pieces, revealing a colossal, erect cock the size of your leg at least.</p> <p>Over Jax's bestial panting, there's a sound of rending flesh and cracking bone. Along both sides of his abdomen, the skin distends, pushing outward like two fleshy tentacles. When they're almost the length of Jax's arms, the ends split into five thin ribbons and then a bend forms in their center as the uniform smoothness of each bizarre limb develops into distinct spans. A few seconds pass and you can now clearly make out the shape of two emaciated--but still growing-- arms. Less than a minute after they first appeared, Jax's new arms are as bulky and monstrous as the set directly above them.</p> <p>Steam rises from Jax's shoulders, his skin flushes red, and every vein widens and bulges. His face is contorted in a sadistic scowl. His eyes are pure white but for the blood-red veins around the periphery. There is only rage in Jax's expression; all trace of intelligence is gone. You stare into those eyes and see a vision of yourself, breathing hard as you sprint frantically from the heavy footfalls behind you. When your lungs burn and your legs give out, all you can do is search frantically for somewhere to hide--a hole you can scurry into. But you turn and see him there. A tireless, merciless predator for whom catching his quarry was never going to be a challenge. He handles you like you're weightless, first lifting you off the ground by the wrist and then taking hold of each of your limbs in one of his four fists. Spread wide, you know he can tear you apart effortlessly. It's fortunate then that he's only lining you up with his immense cock, preparing to slide your trivial body up and down on his dick like a fleshlight before tossing you away to find his next prey. An unstoppable colossus, joylessly hunting down lesser men to submit to his brutal superiority.</p> <p>You blink, and the vision dissipates. Jax in all of his terrifying glory has also disappeared. All that's left in his place is a swirling mass of black smoke where the Incubus fell. You know better than to hope, but it still comes as a cruel surprise when the Incubus rises from the ground, still smiling and unscathed. With another whirl of smoke, he too vanishes.</p>

<p>…Kevin.</p> <p>The runes encircling Kevin flicker and then sputter out just as he begins to take an uneasy step forward. He points a finger toward the entity, as if returning its accusation, and cries, "No! You-- you messed this up. I didn't-- They were double-bluffing me! I figured it out, they both said it was the… but I knew! I could tell they were lying, so that's why I picked the…" Kevin's hand drops to his side, defeated. "They… they weren't lying?"</p> <p>"No," the creature replies, its voice dripping with mock sympathy, "not to you. What an anguished existence, to learn so much and understand so little. Come then, let me free you of your burden."</p> <p>Kevin backs away, swinging an arm wildly as if to ward away the Incubus, and shouts, "I know what the task was! I know it! You can't-- You have to let me do it again. It's not Fair! It's not--"</p> <p>The creature's arm lashes forward, stretching unnaturally across the room to grasp Kevin's head in a claw-like vise. Then, before Kevin can even think to scream, the rest of its body glides toward him in a swirl of mist and smoke so that its features are proportional once again. Mostly proportional, you're reminded as you see the forearm-sized club of a cock between the creature's legs gradually rise until the sleek black head is pointed nearly straight up beneath Kevin's chin.</p> <p>His head held firmly in place without the slightest ounce of give, Kevin can only stare as the appendage rises toward him. Anticipating what's to follow, Kevin presses his lips firmly together, squirming beneath the thing's grasp and murmuring through clenched teeth something that sounds like, "Mmm-Uh," over and over.</p> <p>Fully erect, the incubus asks, "Would you enjoy telling me why I should take one of the other lambs in your place?"</p> <p>Kevin's eyes go wide as he looks into his assailant's face for the first time. He inhales deeply, and you can see his body visibly relax. No doubt knowing this is his last and only chance, Kevin asserts, with as calm and even as voice as he can muster, "It's a matter of-- mmph!" The incubus swiftly forces Kevin's head down so that whatever lengthy and reasoned argument Kevin meant to articulate is shoved back down his distended throat by eighteen inches of glimmering ebony cock. His face impaled on the massive tool, Kevin flails his arms uselessly, each swing passing through the creature just as Jax's had done earlier. After a moment, Kevin's arms shudder and pause in the air. The desperate squeak of his shoes on the floorboards is replaced by a hollow, gurgling sound from Kevin's undulating gullet.</p> <p>"Always learning," the incubus purrs, placing both hands on the sides of Kevin's head and gently lifting him off of its enormous member. The nauseating //gulp, gulp, gulp// of Kevin's throat milking the creature's cock continues as each inch is gradually revealed. When the swollen head emerges, Kevin stumbles back on shaking legs, and you watch, transfixed, as a thick strand of glossy black tar stretches between Kevin's gaping mouth and the thing's spent cockhead. The viscous, oozing substance thins and eventually snaps in the middle, whipping a wet line back onto Kevin's cheek. His mouth is held wide open, like he's trying to speak--or scream--but his mouth is filled with the same rubbery goo, and all his muffled cries manage is to dribble thick globs of the liquid down his chin.</p> <p>Kevin grasps desperately at his face, tearing at the tar in long, grueling motions to try to clear his throat but only managing to stretch it out into long strands as though he's pulling taffy. Each time he returns to grip more of the stuff, the sagging strands drape against his chest and forearms, sticking to every surface they touch. Eventually, Kevin recognizes the futility of his efforts, or maybe it's just become too exhausting to keep tugging at the shiny black mass covering his entire front half. He slumps over, defeated. As if on cue, the liquid shifts all at once. It writhes and slithers over Kevin's exposed limbs, crawling beneath his shirt and slipping down his pants. The one place it seems to have no interest in covering is Kevin's face. Or, most of it at least. Kevin's bottom lip and chin are coated in the rubbery stuff, and two shambling globs of goo have wriggled up Kevin's neck to cover his ears completely, sending his glasses clambering to the floor as ooze settles in on both sides of his head to form two slight bulges where his ears use to protrude. Otherwise, his face is untouched even though every other inch of visible skin is covered in the solid, shimmering goo, now uniform and unblemished.</p> <p>Wordlessly, the shiny rubber Kevin rises to his feet and turns to inspect his observers. His gaze shifts in abrupt, mechanical movements like the hands of a watch. When his head snaps in your direction--and it might be your imagination--it seems like his neck is turned around farther than should be possible. It's as if he has no bones at all, just that same reflective substance all the way down to his core.</p> <p>His eyes turn to face you a second after his head, clicking into place like clockwork. They're a bright, almost glowing, cyan. You feel an unpleasant tingle at the back of your head. The hairs on your arms stand up, and you understand without knowing why that those are the eyes of an entity that sees everything and wants nothing. Static fills your ears; an image sizzles across your brain, a vision of yourself being stripped naked and dragged outside by two faceless latex drones, their shapes vaguely familiar but unrecognizable with their features erased by the shimmering rubber. You squirm, fight, and plead, but your two assailants are unmovable. They keep you secured in their grasp as Kevin squeezes a thick glob of the tar-like ooze from his cock--permanently erect and solid, like a shiny black dildo--and smears it across your exposed dick. The goo shifts and roams around your genitals, fully covering them before compressing into a solid mass, tightening around your manhood like a chastity cage until all that's left is a round, rubber bulge. Before you can begin to mourn your loss, the ooze crawls up your body, covering every hint of skin, every scar, every freckle, everything that makes you unique. Your head is last. Unlike your controller, you don't need eyes or lips. The rubber covers your face, leaving a solid, flat surface, indistinguishable from the faces of the other nameless, sexless drones.</p> <p>The static in your ears stops, and you realize you've been screaming. Your eyes--thank God you still have eyes!--dart around the room, but Kevin's gone. He's been eliminated from the game and taken somewhere you never, ever want to find yourself.</p>

<p>…Beau.</p> <p>With a flash, the runes surrounding Beau flare and extinguish. He steps forward, hands in his hoodie pocket, exhaling sharply and clenching his jaw. "Big fucking surprise," he says to no one in particular. "Twelve preppy, spoiled pricks and one undesirable. Oh," he mocks, "I wonder who they'll point the finger at! They couldn't possibly do some goddamn introspection for once. Well, guess what, Assholes! I'm not the fucking Wolf!" He shouts, ripping his hand out of his hoodie to point menacingly in a sweeping circle at each of the remaining players. "And when I'm gone, who's left to point the finger at, huh?! You--"</p> <p>Beau's rage-filled grimace is slowly replaced by a pale look of dawning horror. The finger he is so accusingly pointing at you is bulbous, tinged with a pinkish-green hue, and capped with a yellowing, talon-like fingernail. He lifts his wrist up to inspect the swollen finger, flashing you his expanding and leathery palm where the green coloration is already creeping up to infect his other digits. Wherever his skin is dyed, moments later the flesh beneath bubbles up, filing with fat, until Beau is left with five equally stubby sausage fingers that look like they belong to a man double his size.</p> <p>Beau lowers his hand to his protruding stomach while groaning incoherently, as though his tongue is too large for his mouth. You were so distracted by the emergence of his one monstrous limb that you missed entirely when his belly had similarly swollen to grotesque proportions. Beau's hoodie is forced up over his distended stomach, appearing only momentarily like a woolen sports bra before the fabric falls to the ground in ribbons. There's no tearing sound--though you're not sure you could hear it over the constant gurgle of Beau's gelatinous stomach inflating--instead, it's as though the material is decaying off his body.</p> <p>His sweatpants are next. Already worn and stained in a dozen places, they don't take long to deteriorate. As the last vestiges of clothing flutter to the floor, Beau's cock is undergoing its own transformation. It gradually emerges from a forest of coarse pubic hair and drools a syrupy line of viscous precum onto the floorboards. Beau wraps his fist around his changing manhood. His dick is momentarily eclipsed by his meaty paw; anything would look small wrapped in his hands after all, but even as you come to that conclusion, Beau's hand is being forced open. His swollen cockhead is inching forward, out of his grasp. When Beau releases his hand with a satisfied grunt, his cock bobs up and down, pointing almost straight ahead but for a slight upward bend that almost matches the curve of his plump stomach. It's impossible to guess how many inches it's grown since your only point of reference is changing almost as quickly, but it's not the length that's making your jaw drop. It's the girth. Beau is sporting an olive-hued cock so thick, it takes both of his monstrous hands to wrap around it.</p> <p>He gives his immense rod a few curious pumps, bellowing something between a moan and a roar, before sliding one hand forward to rest beneath his leaking cockhead--somehow the only part of his mammoth tool that's still vaguely flesh-colored. It takes only seconds for his bulky hand to be doused in his precum. He turns--giving you a view of the twin melons resting atop his chunky thighs, as perfectly round, taut, and green as his stomach. Beau squats down and arches his back so that his ass juts out even further. Then, his precum-soaked hand snakes its way into view, momentarily massaging the liquid onto an ample buttock before plunging between the massive asscheeks. He pumps his hand in and out, straining to jam even more of his fat fingers into his hole until his efforts crescendo into a low, inhuman squeal of delight.</p> <p>Beau's hand drops to his side. He snorts and rises slowly to his full height. He surveys the room, turning slowly until his eyes come to rest on you. Only then do you realize you've been more fascinated than afraid through this whole ordeal and, maybe, that was exactly the wrong reaction. Beau's upturned cock is still spurting thick ropes of cum onto the underside of his belly. It and his other girthy features look slightly more proportional than they did moments ago although, you realize, only because he's grown to over seven feet tall. The green coloration that began on his hand has now fully covered Beau's body, leaving only a few lighter, pinkish hues around sensitive areas. While his stomach and ass jiggle and bounce with layers of excess fat, Beau's limbs are heavy with granite-like muscle. His face--//oh, God!//--his face terrifies you. His swollen and purple lower lip juts forward in a pronounced underbite, making room for two immense, tusk-like teeth to poke out of his mouth. His nose is upturned, wide nostrils flaring, and his eyes are black and uncaring.</p> <p>Beau curls one sinewy bicep and lifts his arm into the air, seemingly inspecting the scent of his own armpit. Unsatisfied, he wipes some of the cum off his stomach and smears it into the wiry hairs. He lifts sweat and cum-laden fingers up to his piggy nose and grunts, satisfied. Beau then extends his arm. In a sweeping motion, he appears to offer his hand around the circle for inspection. When he points it in your direction, you can almost feel the warmth pouring off of Beau's fingertips as his pungent, sickening aroma wafts in your direction.</p> <p>You know the smell is disgusting--that this thing that was Beau is dangerous--but your limbs feel heavy. Your thoughts are slow and dull. When you think of trying to hold your nose or cover your face with your shirt, you chuckle dumbly at the image it conjures. Your jaw goes slack as that image is replaced by another: you, on your knees, crawling forward to lap at Beau's endless stream of precum and plead to be fed from his bountiful cock. Sucking cum out of the fibers of his body hair, licking the musk out of his pits and ass. It's all the sustenance you require and more. You and Master's other boys grow fat on his abundance, your bodies ballooning with size to rival Master's own rotund perfection so that between feedings he may rest upon a cushioned throne of moaning, porcine acolytes.</p> <p>You shut your eyes, fighting to dispel these thoughts but losing to the relentless onslaught of Beau's musk. You feel as though you could take one deep breath and lose yourself in the fantasy forever. You exhale, trembling. But when you inhale, your mind clears. The air is fresh. Clean. Well, free from Beau's influence at least. You open your eyes to see Beau gone and just a dissipating black mist where he once stood. Even the puddle of fluid he'd spurted onto the ground has disappeared. //Thank, God.// You'd like to think you're strong enough to not have snuck a taste of the liquid that nearly enslaved you, but you're relieved not to find out for sure.</p>

<p>Jonah agrees and follows slowly behind you as you make your way into the circle. When you've reached the center, you turn to see him still ten steps behind, dragging his feet as he shuffles along with his head down. It's obvious he's too timid to have refused your request and is not at all enthused about what's to come. You feel a tinge of guilt at having asked for Jonah's help, but you'll both be in danger if you don't get your task done soon. Plus, it's not as though you're exactly happy with having been abducted and forced to play some pervert's game either.</p> <p>When Jonah reaches the circle's edge, he hesitates, biting his lip and looking in every direction for someone to take him away from this nightmare. But there's only you. Slowly, you approach Jonah and take his hand. With a small tug, you beckon him into the circle while assuring him again and again that he's going to be okay.</p> <p>At last, Jonah nods and steps over the barrier. You give his hand a gentle squeeze, repeating the mantra, 'You're going to be okay,' one final time before declaring your task.</p> <p>//Lust.//</p> <p>The runes ignite and you instantly realize you were wrong: Jonah is not going to be okay. As you stare into his wide eyes, a profound hunger begins to claw its way up from the pit of your stomach, tearing through your body until it emerges from your lips as a growl of mindless, bestial lust.</p> <p>Jonah shudders and whimpers to himself, "What is this? I feel so, so--"</p> <p>You don't give him time to finish. Your hands shoot forward and start tearing at Jonah's sweater. After a moment of shock, he helps you lift it up and over his head before you manage to rip through the fabric to get at his lush flesh. When his chest is exposed, you pause, taking in the contours of his lean torso, the subtly sweet scent of his natural musk, and the flush of red playing across his cheeks as Jonah crosses his arms, exposed and embarrassed. You won't allow it. You dive at Jonah's chest, knocking him to the floor and the air out of his lungs, as you shove his hand away and take his delicate nipple into your mouth. Your tongue swirls around the areola, ravenously sampling his taste before you gently grasp his pink nipple between your canines and bite.</p> <p>Jonah gasps, finally having caught his breath just to lose it again in a fit of pleasure, "Hard- Harder!" he screams, and you're all too happy to oblige, lunging at the other nipple to suckle and pinch ferociously. And though Jonah is reduced to a moaning mess beneath you, it's not enough. You kiss and slobber your way down Jonah's chest, leaving a trail of saliva along his stomach as your hands busy themselves tugging down Jonah's pants.</p> <p>It's a struggle at first, as Jonah squirms and begs, "No, no, no. I'm the… the one that… does that for you?" He's confused. Delirious. Offering to suck //your// cock while every fiber of your being is screaming for you to worship this boy. Finally, you grow impatient. You grip the waistbands of Jonah's pants and underwear and, with a carnal grunt, yank them both down in one motion. His perfect, pink dick bobs free and for a moment all you can do is stare, salivating like a hungry dog at your prize. You might have stared forever if Jonah didn't make a haphazard attempt to cover his crotch with his hands. You swat them away and throw yourself at him like a starving animal. In an instant, your nose is buried in his soft pubes and your savage growls are muffled by a mouthful of cock.</p> <p>Like the scent smeared across your face, Jonah's precum is subtly sweet and only fuels your insatiable appetite. You alternate taking his full length into your mouth so that you can gorge on the musky scent of his pubic hair and sliding the flat of your tongue up his stiff rod to lap desperately at the seemingly endless bounty of precum.</p> <p>When you pause a moment too long, furiously tonguing Jonah's slit for another taste, he grabs the back of your head with both hands and moans, "No. I'm… so close…" He yanks you down onto his dick, causing you to sputter at the sudden intrusion. When you try to lift your head, he holds it in place and starts to piston his hips up and down, slamming his crotch against your lips over and over as his slick cock glides along your tongue. You don’t recognize this Jonah, assertive and demanding. It only takes a few more thrusts before you feel a few hot bursts of cum hit the back of your throat. You swallow eagerly, but Jonah shoves your head back, causing his cock to flop from your lips and shooting the last of his load across your face.</p> <p>As you collapse onto Jonah's crotch, the runes lose their luster and your senses start to return. He mumbles, "Oh, fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I'm so sorry. I didn't--" he scrambles away, slipping out from under you so that your head drops to the floor with a thud. "Oh, Fuck! I'm sorry," he pleads, "I didn't mean… oh, fuck!" Jonah takes off from the circle at as close to a sprint as he can manage while holding his pants up with one hand and his sweater in the other.</p>

<p>You march to the center of the circle and, before Jonah has time to change his mind, boldly declare your task.</p> <p>//Bond.//</p> <p>Just as you anticipated, panic flashes across Jonah's face. He starts to back away stammering, "Wait, you don't think bond means… Umm, sorry, but maybe this isn't a good idea. I'll get one of the other guys for you, okay?"</p> <p>You try to tell Jonah it's too late for that, but he turns and runs headlong into the barrier. "Ow!" He screams, holding his nose, "When did it…?"</p> <p>You stifle a laugh. You feel for the poor little guy; he's not even safe from being bullied by inanimate objects. With a gentle tone, you ask Jonah if he's okay and suggest you take a look at his battered nose.</p> <p>"No," he murmurs through his hands, "it's fine. I'm not bleeding or anything. It just-- Ow!"</p> <p>This time, you insist that Jonah let you see. You reach out your hand, grasping the sleeve of his shirt to try to coax him into lowering his arms. When he doesn't move, you give the fabric a soft tug. Suddenly, your stomach lurches. You double over, dropping to your knees and caught between the impulse to gasp and to shut your mouth tight for fear of throwing up.</p> <p>The intense bout of vertigo passes almost as quickly as it started. After a few uneasy breaths, ask Jonah what the hell that was all about. Except, when you look up, you see only the shirt dangling from your fingertips. Jonah's gone.</p> <p>Your mind is racing. He was //just// here! Not two feet in front of you. Who knows what kind of danger he could be in. You need to find him. Now! But even as these thoughts threaten to throw you into a full blown panic, your body has other priorities. Your hand inches closer and closer to your face until the shirt is pressed delicately above your upper lip. Before you can wonder at your actions, you inhale deeply, your eyes fluttering as a bold, earthy musk wafts into your nostrils and settles like a low fog across your brain.</p> <p>As you exhale, you feel the anxiety from just moments ago rush out of your body and diffuse into the air. Calm at last, you're able to take in your surroundings, only now realizing that you're no longer in the ritual circle but in the frat's dim basement. The shirt in your hands is just one of many from the laundry basket resting on the floor in front of you. No, not a laundry basket; a treasure trove! You plunge your hands into the heap of soiled apparel, knowing the ripest items will be nestled at the bottom. You yank out grass-stained tee, and hold it to your nose. This scent is sharp and acidic. Your dick twitches as you envision Jax barreling down the field.</p> <p>Next up is a burgundy polo that reeks of stale cologne. As you shift the fabric in your hand, you get a clear image of Carlos kicking the ball around on a hot summer night. He blinks a few times to push the sweat out of his eyes before giving up, pulling the polo over his head, and using it as a sweat rag. So hot! Your nose finds the damp streak of Carlos's natural aroma, a swirling blend of salt and spice, and your dick jumps while you smear the fabric against your face and drool like a starving dog.</p> <p>The unmistakable creak of the basement door echoes around you, announcing someone is at the top of the stairs and just ten or so steps from finding you tossing Carlos's polo aside to instead huff on one of Zach's athletic socks: bitter and tangy, your favorite.</p> <p>You hear the first footfall at the top of the stairs and freeze, straining to listen. Another step, heavy but precise. Then another. As the intruder nears, you slip the toe of Zach's sock into your mouth, teasing out more of his sour aroma with your saliva while your cock //throbs// for attention. Another step and then another. He's so close. You reluctantly pull the moistened sock out of your mouth and, to your surprise, snatch up a pair of boxer briefs and hastily shove them into the front of your pants, grazing your stiff erection and nearly forcing a whimper from your lips. <p>A boot slaps the cement floor followed by its partner. You rise, making a fruitless effort to push down your dripping erection before turning to face your interruptor… Zach. He smirks and asserts, "You're pathetic, Pledge."</p> <p>You sputter out, "What did I do?" but your voice falters. To say that your defense is unconvincing would be an understatement. The collar of your shirt is saturated in saliva, your obvious erection has leaked a spot of precum through the front of your sweatpants, and someone else's dirty underwear is sticking out of your waistband. You couldn't look more guilty.</p> <p>Zach obviously agrees. He raises his phone to snap a quick pic and says, "Well, Jonah, looks like you're covering my chores next month too… Not that you mind, you little pervert. Now thank me for not sending this picture to everyone in the frat."</p> <p>"Thank you, Sir!" you cry out, your cock somehow even harder than before.</p> <p>Zach smiles that cruel smile that sends a shiver up your spine. Sounding very pleased with himself, he adds, "I don't care what you have to say, Bitch," he lifts one boot off the ground, "come thank me with your mouth."</p> <p>You nod, dropping your head in what anyone watching might mistake for shame. But as you crawl forward, imagining unlacing Zach's boots with your teeth, keeping your face down is all you can do to hide the satisfied grin spreading across your face.</p> <p>"Hey! What're you doing?!" Jonah yells and yanks his foot out from under your face. You look up, shocked and disoriented to see Jonah sanding over you instead of Zach. You're back in the ritual circle and, more importantly, you're back in your own body. It takes you both a minute to reorganize your thoughts, but it's Jonah that speaks first, "That wasn't what it looked like. See, I was just… I mean, umm, I don't know what that was or… even if I saw anything actually. Why, what do you think you saw?"</p> <p>You don't feel like retelling the whole experience, in part because, even though you understand you didn't have any control over your body and were just reliving Jonah's memory, you still can't help but feel humiliated by the whole ordeal. So, you decide not to say much, only that those were your underwear Jonah stole.</p> <p>"I returned them after--" Jonah turns a shade of red you've never seen before. "I mean, what… underwear?" You've had enough. You shove Jonah to the side, wondering for a moment if he secretly enjoyed it, and make your way out of the circle.</p>

<p>"Hey, what'd I say?" Beau replies, clapping his arm around you and guiding you toward the ritual circle, "When you want something, I'm the guy to ask." Beau's arm sits heavy on your shoulder, and the swirling scents of his armpit and musty sleeve tickle your nose hairs. When you try to squirm out from under his grasp, Beau flexes his arm, pulling you closer to his chest. The bicep bulging against your lower back reminds you again that there's some considerable muscle underneath Beau's pudgy exterior. The flex is vaguely threatening, but it's hard to be intimidated by a man with a dopey grin and his tongue stuck out in concentration as he clumsily fishes around his pocket.</p> <p>"Ooh, paydirt!" he explains, pulling a joint out of his hoodie and plopping one end into his mouth. With his teeth clenched to keep the blunt from falling, he asks, "Want a hit?" He removes his arm from your shoulder so he can cram his hand down his sweatpant pocket in search of a lighter. "Or," he offers, "have you had enough already?"</p> <p>You chuckle nervously and insist that you haven't actually had any tonight.</p> <p>Beau gives his lighter a flick; it sparks weakly but fails to ignite. "Nah," he corrects you, "I don't mean the weed n' shit. I'm talkin' about whatever this is." He gestures wide, indicating the mostly-empty living room.</p> <p>You follow the motion of his hand, puzzled, before finally asking if he means the thin mist that's been churning around you since the lights went out.</p> <p>"Bingo. See, I-- Ah, c'mon!" Another half-dozen flicks and the lighter still refuses to catch. Beau passes the lighter to his other hand and exhales, frustrated. "Aren't you s'posed to say a task or somethin'?"</p> <p>While Beau fruitlessly tries to light his joint, you observe that you're standing in the ritual circle. You were so distracted, you didn't even realize. Being smothered against Beau's armpit can have that effect, apparently. You stammer out a quick apology and then declare your task.</p> <p>//Bond//.</p> <p>With a resounding //whoosh//, the circle of runes encasing you and Beau's cheap plastic lighter both ignite, bathing the room in an otherworldly viridescent glow. Evidently unperturbed by the flame's sickly-green color, Beau remarks, "Finally!" and takes a couple of short puffs to light his joint. Letting it bob up and down between his pressed lips, Beau continues, "See I've gotten these guys high often enough to know the signs. Think about it, where's the wailing, the pleading, the dudes curled up on the floor in the fetal position begging for their mommies?"</p> <p>You're strangely transfixed on the shadows flitting across Beau's face and can't quite seem to follow along with what he's saying. He wants you to look for… mommies?</p> <p>"It's not just the calm, either. You notice everyone's suddenly real, uh, uninhibited? Like, watch this." Beau takes a step forward, closing the distance between you so that your chests are just inches apart. "You wouldn't take a hit off me any other night, would you?"</p> <p>The shadows are different from this angle, you note, looking up into Beau's eyes. He's so close to you now. Close enough that you could take a half-step and be pressed into his chest. That patch of worn and unwashed fabric stretched over his pecs suddenly seems like the safest, most inviting place in the world and you don't know why.</p> <p>He answers for you: "No, you wouldn't. But now…" Beau takes a deep drag. The end smolders, momentarily scattering the shadows that enthralled you. He pulls the joint from his mouth and leans forward, inching closer to your face until you can feel his stubble tickling your cheek. You think he might kiss you. You think you might want him to kiss you. Your lips part, and Beau grazes them with his own before lightly blowing between your pursed lips.</p> <p>You shut your eyes as the first hint of Beau's hot, sour breath flows into your mouth. And then, when you taste a hint of something else--something burned and harsh--you breathe in, inviting the contents of Beau's lungs to fill you. Your chest expands. Your lungs ache, and still you inhale, taking in everything Beau has to offer for as long as he's willing to give. Which, it turns out, is a lot. More than you would have thought possible. Seconds pass and then minutes, but he doesn't slow. Your eyes dart open as you feel your chest and stomach press into Beau's and continue inflating.</p> <p>Your midsection is bulging out now, not just touching Beau but enveloping him. He says nothing--makes no move to save himself--as your stomach swells over and around him until Beau is completely swallowed up by your ever-expanding mass. He's trapped there, pressed on all sides by your pliant flesh, until--like a rubber band snapping--your stomach springs back to shape. You can't feel Beau's body pressed against you anymore, but his breath remains, filling you now from the inside.</p> <p>Your chest and stomach may be inflating the fastest, but no part of your body is spared. Soon, your head presses painfully against the ceiling. Before you can be crushed against it, you feel that same rubber band snap as your flesh briefly gives way, allowing the plastered ceiling to enter your body as easily as if it were being dipped into water. The floor is next. Your feet briefly dangle through the floorboards before descending down to touch the cold cement of the basement floor and then growing beyond it. Every barrier that would contain your growth, you instead take into yourself until the whole house is drawn into your body and your afloat in complete darkness. It's a deep, lonely nothingness that might threaten to overwhelm you if not for Beau's constant warmth emanating from somewhere deep within your chest. You're a towering juggernaut, and he's just a speck inside of you--smaller even than a red blood cell. Yet, like those cells, you can't endure without him.</p> <p>Suddenly, your head surfaces above an ocean of inky blackness, and your vision explodes with color: an infinite night sky shining with vibrant stars and whirling nebulas, brilliant and incalculable. As Beau pushes you higher and higher into that night sky, you sob uncontrollably with the realization that your expansion will never cease. All of that color and brilliance will be absorbed into your being.</p> <p>You are the universe, and the universe is you!</p> <p>"Yeah, I hear that a lot too," Beau replies, bored. You gasp and look down, expecting to see the boundless expanse of your taught belly eclipsing whole galaxies but instead seeing Beau's foot impatiently tapping the hardwood.</p> <p>You look up at him through tears and exclaim that you and he are connected, cosmic voyagers on the same–</p> <p>He laughs and pats your head, condescendingly announcing, "Yup, peace and love and the age of Aquarius and all that. Don't worry, it wears off after a couple minutes. Whatever's in this, I mean," he says, dropping the joint to the ground and then stamping it out, "not being an insufferable stoner cliche. Sometimes that's permanent."</p> <p>You're shattered to discover he's right, your faculties are returning to you and the vague sense of euphoria you briefly experienced is dissipating just as quickly. You glare at Beau, annoyed he put you through all this, and demand to know what the hell he just gave you.</p> <p>"Yeah, no clue. I got that out of Zach's stash. I guess it's whatever passes for weed in… I don't know, Hell? Or, like, what happens to it if you leave it here for too long, maybe. Either way, it's not whatever's affecting us the rest of the time, so the experiment's a bust. Looks like we're done //bonding//, so I'm gonna bounce."</p> <p>Beau leaves you there to recover alone, wiping tears from your eyes and not at all enjoying the humiliating feeling of your colossal ego deflating.</p>

<p>Walking side-by-side into the ritual circle, Kai shares with you, "Ugh, my heart is beating so fast. I told myself I was going to stay calm, but," he chuckles nervously, "I'm actually kind of freaking out over here." Without warning, Kai pulls you into a gentle embrace. A few awkward seconds pass before you wrap your arms around him. Nuzzling his head into your neck, Kai mutters, "Sorry. I'm okay. Let's do it." With his permission, you declare your task.</p> <p>//Bond//.</p> <p>The runes surrounding you pulse in rhythm with your and Kai's synchronized heartbeats. It's a momentarily beautiful display, but you're wonder is quickly smothered by dread as the beat falters and darkness begins to creep into the edges of your vision. Ice runs through your veins and your chest tightens while a pitiful //thump// echoes in your head and you strain your senses looking for another. But it doesn't come. The dark overwhelms you…</p> <p>In a burst of blinding light, your vision returns all at once. You're staring into Kai's face, silently screaming before a backdrop of endless blue. As you take in Kai's bright purple jumpsuit and helmet, you recognize the scene unfolding in front of you. Kai isn't screaming in terror but elation as he plummets toward the earth. Robert said Kai used to skydive, but you never really considered the terrifying reality of it until now, recognizing that you too must dropping out of the sky like a stone. No sooner has this horrible realization dawned on you than the immense expanse of sky is replaced with a swirling torrent of white and Kai's tight jumpsuit is swapped out for a bright orange life vest. His face is filled with joyful determination as he furiously paddles his way through whitewater rapids. The scene changes again and again. You're upside down, swinging through the air with Kai and nothing to save you from splattering into the canyon below but the bungee cord attached to your feet. Now you're suspended in air by a length of climbing rope, staring into Kai's face as he contemplates his next foothold.</p> <p>Every few seconds, the location changes but your perspective never does. With Kai's face just inches from your own, it's impossible not to notice that screaming, wild elation you saw when you were falling through the air never returns. With each new adrenaline-raising activity, Kai's look of unbridled joy lessens, fading into one of bored indifference. Eventually, all that's left is a pained grimace, dimly lit by the neon signs of a a shady tattoo parlor. This scene fades slowly as you watch Kai wince through another painful jab of the needle. When Kai's face returns, it's staring back at you, unblinking, in front of a beige wall. When the face lingers, you open your mouth to speak and see Kai do the same. You reach out to touch him and feel cold, hard glass. A mirror.</p> <p>"Yo, did you hear me?" a voice calls out from outside the bathroom doorway. The first sound you've heard in what feels like ages but still muffled--distorted somehow. You don't respond, just continue to examine yourself in the mirror. Your hair is damp--still glistening from the hot shower--and you're naked except for the thick patch of gauze taped to your neck, speckled with spots of red. "I'm glad you were eager to see me and all," the voice continues, "but you didn't think I deserved a heads up?" A pause, then, "Will you at least tell me what it's of?"</p> <p>You turn, admiring your slender neck and lithe, toned chest in the mirror before replying, "It's an old story: after a hundred years of toil, a single koi crested the waterfall to become a dragon."</p> <p>"…So a fish?"</p> <p>"A dragon," you correct him. Then, muttering only to yourself, "A promise…" You place a hand on your bandaged neck and press down with all your force, watching those few specks of red grow and spread until the gauze is dyed red. "…No more swimming in circles." You remove your hand and take a moment to admire your work before shouting, "Fuck it. You haven't showered yet; is that ass ready for round two?"</p> <p>Kai turns away from the mirror and, for the first time since the ritual began, your perspective does not change to follow. Your vision darkens again and then returns. You're back in the ritual circle, in your own frat house, in your own body. Kai watches you curiously, as if wondering if you've understood what you've just witnessed. Before you can speak, he shrugs and says, "You don't need to say anything. Just understand that, whatever else I am, I'm not the Wolf." He walks past you, maybe convinced that that statement should be enough to put your concerns to rest; although, part of you wonders if he's a little thrilled that you hold some piece of his fate in your hands.</p>

<p>Bouncing on his heels, an eager grin on his face, Nate looks like a kid on Christmas morning. As you both step into the circle, you ask what the hell could be so exciting at a time like this.</p> <p>"Am I excited? I don't think I'm excited," Nate retorts, his grin widening. You're starting to get nervous. Maybe this was a mistake. "C'mon, already," Nate whines, "say it."</p> <p>It's too late, you reason. You're already here, and this is bound to be uncomfortable no matter what. You take a quick look around just to make sure Nate's not about to dump pigs' blood on you or some other weirdly elaborate and wildly inappropriate prank. Spying no excuses, you declare your task.</p> <p>//Lust//.</p> <p>Nate whips his head back and shouts, "Whoo!" Then, in an instant, his hands are on you, wriggling under your shirt and rubbing your torso sensually. "Crazy you and me never…" He repeatedly pushes his tongue against the inside of his cheek, his eyebrows raised as if expecting you to complete the sentence. He doesn't wait long, adding, "…hooked up. You know, did the deed; made whoopie, took a trip to pound town; did the mash… the monster mash."</p> <p>You counter that nobody calls it the fucking monster mash, but Nate's not interested. He squats down in front of you and plans soft kisses on your navel while working your belt buckle with one hand. //Snap, click, zip.// One smooth motion of Nate's hand and your pants are sliding down your thighs. He's weirdly good at that, you think, suddenly picturing that trope where some hapless guy practices taking a bra off a chair. Imagining Nate doing something similar with a pair of mannequin legs, you giggle and then blush at having made such a girlish noise.</p> <p>Nate presses both hands into the band of your underwear and starts sliding down. When his palm grazes your hardening cock, you moan. It's such a whimpering, needy sound that it takes you a second to process it actually came from your lips. You briefly wonder what the hell is wrong with you. This goes beyond being aroused, you sound like you're in a bad porno: Needy Slut Begs For It. //Slut//. You giggle again, your concerns draining away as that word tumbles around inside your head. You don't feel embarrassed anymore; you only feel desire.</p> <p>When Nate slips your cock between his wet lips, you wail in ecstasy, not caring if the whole house can hear you howling like a bitch in heat. He moves along your shaft, swirling his tongue along its underside, until his chin is mashed against your balls. Your whole cock is swallowed up by Nate's greedy maw, and you love it! When he pulls his head away, his mouth and throat tighten as if reluctant to let go of your meat. Again and again, he glides his lips along your shaft as if his mouth is vacuum-sealed to your cock and then dives forward with a flourish of the tongue. He's a wonder, a cocksucking savant. Your eyes are clamped shut and your back arched as you lose yourself to the sensation. No anxiety. No fear. Only the wet slap of your balls on Nate's chin, the silken perfection of his expert tongue, and your slutty moans reverberating through the living room. Feeling your muscles tighten, Nate grips your scrotum and gently squeezes just as the first spurt of cum splashes against the back of his throat. Your knees tremble. You place a hand on top of Nate's head to steady yourself, afraid you might topple over while he palpitates your ball sac in rhythm with your throbbing cock.</p> <p>Nate pauses, tilts his head to look up at you, and smiles that mischievous grin that never fails to make you nervous. That smile is even more unnerving when wrapped around your spent dick. Nate, grunts something you can't make out through his mouthful of cock and then lunges forward, taking your softening and painfully sensitive dick back in his mouth and bobbing his head back and forth like some mad chicken. None of the finesse or expert technique from before, Nate is hellbent on slurping on as much of your cock as he can as fast as he can. You cry out, not a lusty moan this time, but in shocked pain and try to pull away. Forgetting that your pants were still wrapped around your ankles, you stumble backwards and fall flat on your naked butt.</p> <p>Nate can't contain his laughter, almost doubling over as he cries, "Oh my God! The look on your face, dude. And those noises!" Imitating you in a high-pitched, effeminate voice, he moans, "Oh, oh, oh! Oh Natey. Ugh, give it to me!" He rises from his squatting position, wipes a tear from his eye, and offers you a hand up. "And people say //I'm// the manwhore. Not fair."</p> <p>You roll your eyes and start pulling your underwear up, completely ignoring his outstretched arm. Knowing Nate, odds are about even he'd help you to your feet or drop you back to the floor with your bare ass and dick still out for everyone to see. As you slide your pants up, you ask Nate why he was so giddy to help you with your task anyway.</p> <p>"Graduation's in a couple weeks and you were still on my list. I was dared to blow every one of the senior brothers before the semester's over. Tonight sucks but--silver lining--I might actually do it now. I kind of gave up since I figured I'd never get Robert to go along with it."</p> <p>You're baffled. That's an insane dare. Who would possibly think someone would actually do it.</p> <p>"It's messed up though. I figured the dare I gave Danny was even less possible but, tonight, who knows. Nate gives your knee a playful slap as he passes by, leaving you to process your mind-numbing orgasm and the knowledge that the twins are even weirder than you thought.</p>

Looking around the room and spying nothing that would justify the refusal, he sighs, "Yeah, okay. Let's just get it over with quick so you don't get us all taken out." It's not what you'd call an enthusiastic reply, but you'll take it. You both step into the ritual circle and, afraid Andre might change his mind at any second, you hurriedly declare your task.</p> <p>//Obey.//</p> <p>At your declaration, Andre perks up just as the runes surrounding you begin to glow. "Obey," Andre repeats, rolling the word across his tongue as if sampling its taste. "You'll do whatever I say?"</p> <p>You're not sure if it's a question or a command, but you figure you'd better answer either way. You think to tell Andre that you imagine that's how this works. There's a nervous tension spreading through your body, settling into your shoulders and the base of your spine and threatening to topple you over if you don't do something to dispel it soon. What gets rid of that feeling, you assume, is up to Andre. All this you think to explain to him; but, as if on reflex, you nod your head vigorously while repeating a brainless 'uh huh.' You stop after a few seconds, embarrassed but pleased to feel that suffocating tension dissipate, albeit not for long.</p> <p>"Listen up," Andre commands, and you snap to attention like a well-trained dog, "You're going to answer my questions truthfully, without hesitation or omission. That means no bullshit. Got it." Again your head nods 'yes' before you can even think to reply. "Good, now…" Andre pauses, blinking a few times as he sways a little on his feet, "…now, why'd you ask for my help."</p> <p>You're almost surprised to find yourself not simply blurting out a reply. Maybe, you theorize, it's because you yourself are unsure of the answer. The ache in your muscles is rising, starting in your tightening calves and then working its way up your body. Andre has always been something of a mystery to you, maybe you were intrigued by the whole tall, dark, and handsome thing he's got going on. But then, that mystery is also good reason to be suspicious about him. You've gone too long without obeying a command. Your stomach turns. You feel nauseous, like you might double over at any second. You open your mouth to speak, knowing whatever you say will be the truth.</p> <<elseif $tMulti is 1>> <p>Andre's expression softens. Seeming genuinely surprised at your answer, he looks to one side, scoffs and says, "Yeah, well, I didn't know you gave a shit. Don't think you looked my way once in the last two years. Whatever, next question: are you the w…"</p> <p>Andre stumbles forward, closing his eyes and gripping onto your shoulder to steady himself as if he was just struck by a bout of vertigo. He mumbles, "No, no. Focus. Focus!" Still holding your shirt, Andre slaps his own face and then opens his eyes. Sweat beads on his forehead as he takes his time articulating each word with herculean effort, "Are. You. The. W--" He clasps his eyes shut and falls into you. This time, when he looks up, his pupils are dilated and his breathing ragged. His voice is somewhere between a whisper and a growl. "Are you the one that's gonna get me off? Huh?!" Andre's arm shoots down and clasps onto your groin in a vise-like grip, taunting, "You think you're man enough for a piece of this ass? Bitch, I bet if I start to get you wet," Andre mercifully releases your balls and starts unbuttoning your pants, "you won't even last long enough to get inside me. Your little dick's gonna spunk down my throat before you get anywhere near my fine ass." He yanks your underwear down, taking a moment to examine your cock before slapping you hard across the face, "Say it!"</p> <p>The words come unbidden to your mouth: I'm going to spunk down your throat.</p> <p>"That's right," Andre confirms. He squats down in front of you and teases the head of your cock with his lips as he asks, "And why's that?"</p> <p>Again, the words come tumbling out: Because I'm a bitch who's not man enough for your fine ass.</p> <p>Andre engulfs your cock in one fluid motion, taking your full length with ease. You shudder and brace yourself for the pleasure his practiced mouth is about to deliver, but Andre hesitates. After a moment, he slides your hardening dick out from between his lips. Staring down, his voice pained, he commands "Say, 'I have obeyed and fulfilled my task.'"</p> <p>You oblige automatically. At the conclusion of the word 'task,' the runes flare and sputter out. You sigh, relieved as that overwhelming desire to obey finally leaves you. Andre, on the other hand, does not seem relieved in the slightest. He stands up and--this is a first--looks embarrassed.</p> <p>"I-," he begins, but quickly loses interest in trying to explain himself. Wordlessly, he walks away, leaving you confused and with your half-erect cock hanging out.</p> <<set $tMulti to 0>> <<else>> <p>It's Andre's turn to nod. He stares you down, a satisfied smirk on his face, as he asks, "And how's that working out for you so far? Looks like I'm the one that's going to get all the answers and your cynical-ass can just keep wondering. So let's get the big one out of the way: are you the w…"</p> <p>Andre stumbles forward, closing his eyes and gripping onto your shoulder to steady himself as if he was just struck by a bout of vertigo. He mumbles, "No, no. Focus. Focus!" Still holding your shirt, Andre slaps his own face and then opens his eyes. Sweat beads on his forward as he takes his time articulating each word with herculean effort, "Are. You. The. W--" He clasps his eyes shut and falls into you.

<p>"Well," Mason says, expectantly, "we're here. What am I in for?"</p> <p>He's not wasting any time, so why should you? Before either of you can lose your nerve, you declare your task.</p> <p>//Bond//.</p> <p>Mason takes a step toward, smiling as he removes his glasses. You stare into his striking green eyes. Your heart flutters. In the back of your mind, you worry at how reflexively your body responded to such a simple gesture, but it's hard to focus when you suddenly feel like a lovestruck teen: palms sweaty, mouth dry, thoughts racing.</p> <p>"Shh," Mason assures you, "just take deep breaths. You're doing great." The runes encircling you begin to ignite with erratic bursts of white and green. The reflection of their dazzling display in Mason's eyes only serves to bring you further under his thrall. He whispers, "That's it. You're doing great. Just keep breathing." He gently places his hand on the back of your head and leans forwards so that your foreheads are pressed together. Your vision melts into a cascade of velvet and magenta. Mason's face has left your sight, but the dull pressure of his forehead pressing against you remains, and you feel the subtle warmth of his breath playing across your lips. You inhale his scent, closing your eyes and allowing yourself to be put at ease.</p> <p>When you open your eyes again, you feel calm--even as you realize you're no longer standing in the ritual circle but instead sitting at a long table draped in a thick magenta cloth. You're surrounded on all sides by your friends and brothers, their raucous laughter clashing with the soft music behind you and muted tones of the wait staff. You all look so out of place. Your slung-together outfits--mostly T-shirts and shorts with an occasional Kappa Phi hoodie thrown into the mix--are in stark contrast to the crisp linens and plush furniture. The only one among you who looks at home in such a lavish environment is the one you remember being responsible for this extraordinary occasion: Mason.</p> <p>With his hair styled and dressed in a smart button-down, Mason looks worlds apart from the young adults surrounding him. He confidently discusses wine choices with a waiter while the rest of you laugh and joke entirely too loudly. You recall this night from your first year; you had only been with the frat a semester and, not a legacy yourself, had no idea who this man was or why he should care enough to take all the freshmen out for dinner just because a few of the guys won a soccer match.</p> <p>Mason finishes his quiet negotiation with the waiter, ordering a bottle of something you can't begin to pronounce before slipping a few bills into the man's apron. The waiter retreats to the kitchen and then returns a moment later with a bottle in hand and two assistants. To a resounding cheer from the group of underage freshmen, the staff proceed to fill glasses all around the table.</p> <p>Mason raises his glass, "To Bobby," he announces then, smiling at Robert, corrects himself, "or I guess it's Robert now. To Robert: Kappa Phi royalty, your future president, and the man that's in for a world of disappointment if he keeps gunning for my striker records." You all laugh, raise your glass, and take a deep swig of your wine.</p> <p>Dinner begins. It’s overwhelming; so many new cuisines that you’ve never even heard of before. Jax wolfs down each plate in minutes, grumbling that they could have just ordered a dozen pizzas and skipped all this fancy shit. On a dare from Danny, Nate is turning his fork into a makeshift catapult to fling peas across the table. Carlos is trying feebly to remind Mason that he's on the soccer team too while Robert actually holds his attention, explaining he hopes to switch to the center back position as soon as possible so Mason's records are safe. When it looks like Carlos might finally get a turn to talk, Mason's phone rings. He apologizes and excuses himself from the table.</p> <p>Nate sends a pea careening in Robert's direction and blurts, "Your brother's got more money than God. Is he in the market for a sugar-baby or what?"</p> <p>"He's not…" Robert and Carlos start at the same time, but only Robert finishes, unbothered by talking over his friend, "my brother. He and my brother are just, like, best friends, so I've known him forever."</p> <p>Danny chirps in, impishly, "We heard he's got some records off the field too, if you know what I mean." <p>Robert laughs, though it's clear the topic is a little uncomfortable. "Oh please, those are just dumb rumors."</p> <p>Carlos perks up. "What rumors?!"</p> <p>Robert sighs, "Nothing just some--"</p> <p>"No, no! I'll tell it," Nate interrupts. He leans in as if to whisper something secret to the group and, at full volume continues, "The dude's a major player! So, like, twenty years ago, Mason and //Bobby's// brother played soccer here--"</p> <p>Robert cuts in, "It was like five years ago. Mason's not fifty. He's barely older than--"</p> <p>"Who's telling the story?!" Nate pushes on, "Okay, so it was the 15th century. People had just discovered the printing press and showering and Mason was on the soccer team. They were killing it in all their matches, but there was this private Christian school near Albany that they just didn't have a chance against. The team captain was this crazy-good player. Just built for the game, you know? Tall guy, rippling abs, eight-inch uncut dick--"</p> <p>Exasperated, Robert yells, "There's no way this story includes the size of his dick!"</p> <p>"Sir," a waiter warns. Robert shrinks down in his chair, embarrassed.</p> <p>"Well, big coincidence, Mason's visiting Albany a couple of weeks before the game and who should he run into practicing in the park but Mr. Team Captain--eight intact inches and all. Suddenly, this guy's calling the house twice a day, and sneaking off campus on weekends to come spend the night in Mason's room. It's all Romeo and Juliet for those two till the day their teams are supposed to face off. Mason's on the pitch, but what's this? Where's the other team's captain? Oh, look at that, he's marching up to the field, but somethings just a little off--"</p> <p>"Jesus!" Jax interrupts, out of wine and audibly annoyed, "They hooked up the night before and Mason fucked the guy so hard he could barely walk. See, it's not hard to just get to the fucking point. It's a bitch move anyway. The better team lost."</p> <p>If Nate's put out by Jax's butting in, it doesn't show. "Okay, but you forgot the part where Mason dumped him after the game and they never saw each other again."</p> <p>"None of that's true," Robert says, turning to everyone at the table. "People," he emphasizes the word while staring directly at the twins, "just like drama."</p> <p>Danny stares right back, announcing, "That's not what we heard…"</p> <p>"No," Mason interrupts, catching everyone off guard, "Robert's right; that's not true." Mason smiles, clearly enjoying having the group's rapt attention before adding, "We saw each other again. Every time we were scheduled to face off against each other, I'd offer him another rough fuck. He never turned me down."</p> <p>The table erupts. Jax grumbles about bad sportsmanship; Carlos calls Mason his personal hero; the twins trade dares involving seducing this or that athletic team; and Robert does his best to quiet everyone down before you all get scolded by the waiter. Only you and Mason are silent. He sits at the head of the table, composed, surveying the reactions around him with an easy smile. When your eyes meet, longing wells up from the pit of your stomach. What an experience it would be to fall for someone so hard you would destroy everything you've worked for just to be with them for one night.</p> <p>Mason's eyes stay locked on yours as the scene around you dissolves. You blink and you're back in the ritual circle. The runes have lost their glow, and Mason is no longer pressing his forehead to yours. He stares over your shoulder and says, "How nostalgic," then gives you a quick clap on the shoulder and walks away.</p>

<p>Mason agreed to help with your task without much hesitation; although, now that you're standing in the ritual circle, you're suddenly nervous about how he'll react to what you're about to declare. You briefly consider just shouting out your task and getting it over with, but the truth is Mason intimidates you a little, and the last thing you want is for him to feel blindsided. Instead, you meekly ask if Mason still wants to go through with helping you knowing you got stuck with the 'Lust' task.</p> <p>//Lust//.</p> <p>At the mere mention of the word, the circle begins to glow. Mason’s visage flickers in the runic light. You can feel him staring you down, but it’s impossible to see the eyes hidden behind those rose-tinted aviators. Your eyes trace along the chiseled edges of his face, taking his beauty in full: the meticulous coif of his hair, the handsome yet demure curve of his nasal bridge, the roguish curl of his lips as they span the difference between the defined lines of his jaw. He’s beautiful. You’ve come face-to-face with a living legend and it’s intimidating. Mason maintains a chilling calm as he inspects you. Sizes you up. You stare back like a deer in headlights.</p> <p>You’ve heard so many tales about his conquests, glories, and triumphs. You find yourself wondering if you might end up just another character in the stories. You shiver as that thought creeps into your brain. Would it be so bad to be another faceless conquest? Once the idea takes hold, it pushes out your every other thought and concern. You fall at Mason's feet, dropping to your knees and then bringing your head down so that your lips press against the cold, hard leather of his loafers. The potent scent of tannin and oil grip your senses. You're confused, humiliated. All you can think to do is prostate yourself before this man and pray that he'll deem you worthy for use.</p> <p>As if acknowledging your desires, Mason playfully taps your chin with the toe of his shoe. You lift your head and look down at the expensive loafer. The leather has lost some of its luster, blanketed by a thin layer of dirt and grime; a state unfitting of its status. Mason's masculine perfection cannot be tarnished. You won't allow it!</p> <p>Your jaw falls open, tongue unfurling. You run the length of it along the tanned, cured hide, slathering the leather in saliva. Earthy grit collects along the grooves of your tongue as you labor, but you simply swallow it down, undeterred by the taste or texture. You aren’t here to complain; you’re here to serve.</p> <p>"Polish it." Mason commands. Your hands go to remove your shirt, but Mason quickly tuts and taps your chin with his toe. "Uh-uh. That cheap fabric will smudge my shoes. Use your face." His tone brokers no argument, not that you had one anyway. It's more than you deserve.</p> <p>You rub your cheek against the cool leather. Your saliva has already dried up, so you’ll need to apply more spit. Before you can even open your mouth, a hot, tobacco-tinged wad of saliva forcefully lands on your cheek. Your body heats up as you throw yourself fully into polishing his shoes, pressing against them with your blushing cheeks.</p> <p>It’s easy to feel inferior to someone like Mason; he wields power so naturally and commands utmost respect. His superiority was clear from the moment you first set eyes on him: something sets him apart from ordinary men. You can’t tell if it’s his apparel, his demeanor, or his appearance—or perhaps it’s all of these things in combination—but he’s simultaneously terrifying and awe-inspiring.</p> <p>When you're finally done polishing, you feel the runes power down around you. The immense lust that brought you to your knees is dissipating, but some of that feeling of inferiority sticks with you like the drying saliva on your face. You can't bring yourself to Mason in the eyes after such a pitiful display. You stay low to the ground, your head bowed, noting you’ve polished Mason’s shoes to the point where you can make out your own reflection in them: unkempt, disheveled and wild-eyed.</p> <p>"Disgusting," Mason remarks from overhead. You have no idea if it's said in response to himself, you, or the act in which you were both forced to participate. Worse still, you're not sure which answer you prefer.</p>

<p>From the moment you asked Kevin to partner up with you, he's done nothing but drone on about how he's the best choice and how it's only natural you'd ask him over the others. "So," he continues, "are you going to announce your task or are we just going to wait here until the heat death of the universe. Which, actually, if you've looked outside…"</p> <p>You whisper an exasperated, 'fuck,' under your breath, trying for the life of you to recall how you ever thought this was a good idea.</p> <p>"What was that?"</p> <p>You tell Kevin you were just trying to declare your task and got confused. What you meant to say was…</p> <p>//Lust//.</p> <p>The runes encircling you alight with a gentle hum, startling Kevin and finally giving you a reprieve from his endless jabbering. As if responding to their display, you feel a thrumming heat within your loins. Kevin gulps nervously. You stand before him. He stands before you. You sigh, annoyed at where this is obviously headed but powerless to stop it.</p> <p>Kevin takes a deep breath and adjusts his glasses. "T-turn around," he stammers, twirling a finger around to direct you, "and take off your pants." You do as ordered, even giving him a show of your assets as you strip down. You sneak a peek at his expression; his face is as red as a tomato. He feigns confidence, but you can practically smell his inexperience; the guy reeks of incel. And no wonder, Kevin is insufferable to talk to. Facing away from him, your pants down and ass hanging out, it's obvious you can't go through with this. Even if you feel magically hornier than you've ever been in your life, it's time to tell Kevin this was a mistake and try to figure a way out of this.</p> <p>You look over your shoulder and catch sight of Kevin lowering his own pants. Your eyes cloud over and the next words out of your mouth aren't the kind rejection you planned. Instead, you beg him to fuck you in the whiny, needy voice. You lean forward, pushing your ass out and giving it a couple inviting slaps for good measure. Kevin presses his bony body against your backside and reaches a hand around to tug at your cock. He feels around clumsily before finally making contact with your member and giving it a firm squeeze.</p> <p>"Oh, God," Kevin moans into your ear, "I'm so… so turned on. How are you not even hard?" You stare down, confused, as Kevin continues to mash at your fully-engorged penis. You step forward, out of Kevin's arms, and turn to confront him about messing with you when all you want is to get fuuuu--</p> <p>Your jaw drops at the sight of the absolute python of a cock peeking out of Kevin's tighty-whities. The mammoth tool must be a foot long if not more. It's thicker than you can get your hand around and drooling enough precum that the front of Kevin's underwear is completely transparent, giving you mostly unobstructed view of his massive, heavy balls. You can't stop yourself. Your mouth still hanging open, you press your hand against the colossal cock, if only to confirm it's real. Kevin squirms as you gawk his length, marvelling at how much flesh there is to feel as you run your hand along the length of his shaft.</p> <p>When you squeeze the throbbing head in your palm, Kevin whimpers. Your voice is breathy and ragged as you tell Kevin you have no idea how you're going to fit this club inside your hole, but you'll figure it out. You need him inside of you. You want to feel your hole grip his dick as it pulses, just like it's doing right… now.</p> <p>No… Did he just? Kevin's face goes deep scarlet. You look down and confirm the horrible truth. While your ass is longing, //begging//, to be filled, Kevin is ejaculating all over your thigh instead. Your heart sinks. All you did was whisper a few dirty words and give him a little squeeze. How is he done already?! The lights around you dim and then sputter out while Kevin pulls his pants up off the floor.</p> <p>"I can't believe we just--" Kevin tries to hold back the grin fighting its way onto his face, "I mean, I've had handjobs before, of course. Of course, I have," he says, unconvincingly, "but you're something else. You really-- I mean, you've really made up for your, umm, deficiency in other areas."</p> <p>You follow his gaze down to your softening cock. Realizing what he's implying, you cover yourself with your hands and hurry to find your pants. Where does this little jerk get off, anyway? You've never had any complaints about your size. If anything, you're significantly above average. It's not your fault he's walking around with a swinging donkey dick and zero awareness. As Kevin walks out of the circle, totally pleased with himself, you decide to just let it go. At least it's quiet again.</p>

<p>Robert gives you a friendly slap on the shoulder, remarking, "Yeah, let's get to it," as he jogs past you. You're not at all surprised Robert said 'yes,' though it's a bit of a shock seeing just how calm he is with everything going on. He's got that same charismatic energy you've seen a hundred times on the soccer field or during the myriad team building games you're all forced into every semester. "Let's hear it," Robert insists once you're both in the ritual circle, "We're on a deadline, and some of the others might need partners once you're done." You take his point and waste no time declaring your task.</p> <p>//Bond//.</p> <p>With a ferocious //fwoosh//, the ritual circle explodes with color: first a glimmering mint green and then a dazzling white that builds in intensity. It shines brighter and brighter until you're forced to clamp your eyelids shut. With eyes closed, you can't see what Robert's doing, but you feel something stiff start to prod your closed lips, pushing with increasing insistence until it eventually forces its way into your mouth. At the same time, your back stiffens as two delicate arms start wrapping around your waist. Gentle fingertips flutter across your abdominals and descend down until they're brushing the base of your cock.</p> <p>Your eyes dart open, determined to see your assailant even at the risk of blinding yourself, but instead of yanking the foreign object out of your mouth and shoving the hands away from your vulnerable member, you smile and say, "Why aren't you getting ready?" That's what you meant to say, anyway. As you chew a little on the toothbrush in your mouth, your words come out as more of a garbled, "Wah art oo itting eddy?" Strangely, what strikes you as most odd in that moment isn't the sudden, oppressive taste of toothpaste on your tongue, the peculiar deepness of your voice, or even the unbidden words passing through your foamy lips. It's your posture. You're no slouch, but you can't remember having ever been comfortable standing up so straight, shoulders back, neck tall and confident.</p> <p>You lean down to spit in the sink just as the hands on your waist gently guide you around so that you're face-to-face with Kai. That's when it clicks. The voice, the posture, the unwavering sense of confidence, they're unfamiliar because they're not yours. You're staring out from Robert's body, feeling his every thought and movement as if they're your own but unable to do anything to change the scene unfolding in front of you.</p> <p>"Come on, Babe," Kai whispers, sliding his hands along your waist to tease your lower back. "We've got time; you're already naked."</p> <p>You laugh--Robert's charming, resounding laugh--and place your hands on Kai's shoulders to tenderly hold his advances at bay. "Yeah, 'cuz I just got out of the shower. And, oh wait," you add, jokingly, "isn't that where you're supposed to be, Babe? I told my parents we'd be there by six."</p> <p>Kai gives you his mischievous half-smile, shrugs your arms off his shoulders, and steps forward so that your naked, glistening torso is pressed into him. "You could join me," he says as his fingertips crawl up your thighs like insects' legs. "Think about it…" his hand veers behind you to cup your buttocks, "…you said you were worried about a mess…" he pries your cheeks apart and you feel his middle finger graze your tight, puckered hole.</p> <p>You jump, slipping out of Kai's arms and bumping your ass into the bathroom countertop. "Come on, Babe," you sigh, exasperated, "we talked about this."</p> <p>Kai steps forward, closing the gap between you again. He puts on a pouty face, playful if still a little seductive. "Aww, you won't make a mess. And we'll be cleaning up anyway…"</p> <p>"It's not that," you interrupt, "I mean, it's not just that. I--," you stammer. It's so bizarre to hear Robert flustered, you think as his excuses come tumbling out of your shared mouth, "It's just not the kind of thing I should-- The guys look up to me. Do you understand? I'm a leader."</p> <p>Kai steps back and crosses his arms, "So that means what? You look //down// on me?"</p> <p>"No!" you try to interject, but Kai's not having it.</p> <p>"I'm less of a leader because I can take a dick without it hurting my precious macho feelings?"</p> <p>"No, Babe, come on. It's different for you, nobody expects you to--" you stop mid-sentence. In fact, everything stops. Kai's face is frozen in a scowl, your breathing halts, even the drop of water slowly rolling down your neck from your still-wet hair freezes in place. Only your right arm seems immune. It inches forward, shaking horribly from the effort. You had only just started to get used to the sensation of your body moving on its own, but this is different. As your right hand grabs on to the opposite wrist, you can only wonder at how alien it feels. How unnatural. The right hand pulls, and the left wrist start to move with it. Except, it's also not moving. There are two images stacked on top of each other, one of a Robert's hand frozen in the air and the other of your own arm being slowly pulled out of it. The first tightens around your wrist and then yanks. You go toppling to the cold, hardwood floor of the ritual circle. You scramble upright and hastily examine your hands, turning them over to confirm you're actually you again.</p> <p>"Geeze," Robert pants from above you. He's hunched over, hands resting on his knees as he tries to catch his breath. "That was-- Well, it's over now, anyway. Sorry you had to see that. I don't want you to get the wrong idea; Kai apologized later. He knows we take consent very seriously in the frat. It was just a lapse of judgment; you don't think less of him, do you?"</p> <p>Still trying to make sense of what just happened, you tell Robert it's fine. It doesn't seem like he's addressing everything you just saw, and you're still confused about how he even thought to pull you out of that when you were completely caught up in the memory, but you decide these are thoughts best kept to yourself for now.</p> <p>"Great, man. That's great. If you're sure you're okay, I'd better go check on the others."</p>

<p>…you.</p> <p>The runes outlining your circular prison sputter and then go dark. Though you're no longer trapped within the invisible barrier, it's impossible to feel the least bit free with the creature's long, taloned finger still pointing directly at you. What can you do? There's nowhere to run and no one to beg for help. All the men you've looked up to are still encased in their own glowing cells; and, if Jax and Zach--the strongest, most brutal men you know--couldn't fight this thing off, what possible hope do you have?</p> <p>The creature's outstretched hand gradually turns, coming to rest palm-up. Its index finger curls inward, beckoning you forward. Your legs are trembling. Your breathing is ragged, but you somehow manage to take a wobbly step forward. And then another. With each step, the incubus looms larger in your vision. What looked to you to be seven feet tall from where you stood before must be nine feet, maybe more. You do your best to advance forward, resolute that you'll face whatever is in store for you with dignity--a prospect that's getting harder by the second as you nearly trip over your own pant legs and tumble forward, accidentally leaving your shoes behind. Another stride forward and you can't help but feel that you're no closer to the creature even as its colossal figure towers over you.</p> <p>Your pants slip off your waist, prompting you to finally look down--to look at anything other than the creature's wolfish grin and glistening black fingers. Just as you start to wrap your head around the sight of your body draped in a massive cloth canvas, your shirt slips off your shoulders and slumps to the ground. Horrified, you realize it wasn't the creature that had been growing larger in front of you. Your body has shrunk so small that you easily fit through the collar of your shirt. The fabric continues to rise all around you, obscuring your vision. Or rather, you continue to shrink smaller until you can barely see over your own discarded clothing. You leap up, trying to peek over your shirt collar, and see an advancing wall of shimmering blackness rushing toward you. It wraps around your body, pinning one arm to your side and then raises you into the air so that a deep chasm separates you, held firmly in the creature's fist, and the incubus's sharp-toothed maw.</p> <p>"So little…" it purrs, blasting your face and torso with a squall of warm, moist air, "…so little to work with. I would share with you my gift--giving form to your deepest desires--but what have you given me to shape? Such a quiet, unobtrusive thing you are. A disappointment, but so be it."</p> <p>The crushing grip around your body only tightens as the features in front of you begin to swirl and dissolve in a puff of smoke. He's leaving, and you're going with him to await your fate: a day you're handed over as payment to the next person willing to pay a demon's price in exchange for complete dominion over a lesser man. Then, your new life will begin. A life caged in a terrarium like an exotic pet or kept in a sock drawer next to his other sex toys; a life as some cruel master's dutiful cock attendant or living butt plug; or worse, a short existence, discarded and forgotten until the hour you're inevitably caught underfoot. With a final flourish of whirling smoke, you and the creature disappear. You have been eliminated.</p>

<p>"Lead on," Beau orders. When you turn around, he claps both hands on your shoulders and marches you into the ritual circle. You're not sure you'd call that 'leading,' but he's agreed to help you out so there's no sense complaining. When you're stood in the center, you twist your shoulders to turn around but his hands remain firmly stuck to your shoulders. "I'm right here, Chief. What's it going to be?" His voice is laid-back as always, but there's something vaguely intimidating about how he's so at ease controlling your movements. You sigh, worried it's only going to get worse when you're done declaring your task.</p> <p>//Obey.//</p> <p>The combination of a sudden burst of light from the runes and Beau exclaiming, "Nice!" from just behind your ear makes you jump. "Aww, chill, Little Man. This is good news. I was waiting for this one." Beau sniffs loudly and gives you a little shove forward, finally allowing you to step out of his grasp. He sniffs again and says, "You feel that?"</p> <p>You do. Your shoulders ache, your arms erupt in goosebumps, and every muscle in your body feels tight. You're a live wire, desperate and anxious to do… something. Something urgent, but you have no idea what.</p> <p>"Feels right," Beau says, exhaling noisily and staring you down like you're the last nacho chip on his plate. "Do me a favor, Chief." He commands more than asks, his voice suddenly deeply serious. "Hop on one foot."</p> <p>Your body reacts faster than you can process the ridiculous request. In an instant, you're bouncing up and down on your left leg. You feel silly. But silly, you realize, is a world away from paralyzingly anxious. In the same moment that your body obeyed Beau's command, that nervous energy evaporated.</p> <p>"Too easy. How about this? You can only speak the truth. Now, tell me, who is the w…" The last syllable comes out as a prolonged slur. Beau's eyelids droop and his jaw hangs open. Sweat beads on his greasy forehead as one hand absentmindedly rubs the front of his pants. When he resumes speaking, his voice is sluggish. "No, I meant, the w…" He takes another sniff of the air and finishes, "…what's that smell?" He lifts up one of his arms and cranes his neck to shove his nose as deep into his own armpit as possible. He takes a brief whiff and then another and another, exploring his pit like a truffle hog. "Fuck, that's…" He turns to you, annoyed, "Why the fuck are you jumping. Get over here!"</p> <p>Grateful to finally have both feet on the floor again, you can only groan as your legs start moving on their own, this times marching toward Beau as he whips his hoodie off. When you're standing only inches in front of him, Beau shoves his hand down the front of his sweatpants, swirls it around, and then yanks it out to mash into your face.</p> <p>"Take a hit of that!"</p> <p>You have no choice. Even as you try to pull your head away, your nostrils flare and you inhale the rank musk of Beau's sweaty balls. He pushes his fingers forward, leaving a spot of moisture on your upper lip and making you want to gag.</p> <p>When he finally removes his hand, it's to shove the fingers under his own nose and take a whiff. "Fuck, I smell so fucking good. Get in here!" Beau shoves his hand into his armpit and clamps down like he's trying to wring every last drop of ball sweat into the furry pit before he lifts his arm. Realizing too late where 'here' is, your pleas are smothered against the clammy skin of Beau's noxious armpit. "Yeah, snort that shit, Piglet."</p> <p>Beau holds your face against his arm while your lips busy themselves slurping the sweat off of Beau's armpit hairs. Your tongue traces every inch of Beau's rank pit, sucking up the moisture on his skin and replacinf it with your own saliva. Finally, Beau wraps his hand around the back of your neck and pulls you out. "You're going to be my sweatrag, Piglet. Now where do you want to go, huh? Pit, balls, or ass?"</p> <p>Your traitorous tongue is already hanging out of your mouth, miming the act of lapping Beau's scent up even as you desperately shake your head, 'no.'</p> <p>"No?" How can you…" Beau takes another deep inhale of his just-cleaned pit and returns to look at you. "No." He stumbles back, shaking his head blinking his eyes a few times as if just waking up. "That's enough, right?" He asks, looking at no one in particular. But whomever or whatever is listening must agree, because the runes fade and you feel control of your body return to you. Beau sighs frustratedly and grabs his hoodie off the ground. Sliding it back on, he grumbles, "Yeah, it wouldn't be that fuckin' easy. Thought I could at least… fuck!" He looks at you and says the briefest, "Sorry," before walking out of the circle.</p> <p>He's annoyed, you can tell. But your first priority is finding something other than your own shirt to wipe this smell off your face.</p>

<<if $tMulti is 0>> <<set $buttons[4].ex to "<<set $tMulti to 1>><<goto 'Character Options'>>">> <p>Kevin strides into the ritual circle confidently enough; but as you take your place next to him, you can already see that bravery start to waiver. He grumbles, "Sh-should we," clears his throat and then continues, "Uh-hem, should we wait for instructions again or… I just, umm, I don't want //you// to get confused and mess this up. You only get one chance." He rubs his arm nervously and adds, "Maybe you should get someone else actually. I'm not-- I mean, I think my skills would be better put to use observing. Yeah, that's actually a great idea; I'll get someone." There's no time for this. You roll your eyes and, just as Kevin starts to make his way out of the circle, declare your task.</p> <p>//Bond//.</p> <p>With a deafening, high-pitched screech, the runes surrounding you explode with light before settling into a dim glow. When the sound stops, you realize it wasn't the circle that screamed but Kevin. You place a hand on his shoulder and assure him he's okay.</p> <p>"No," Kevin sniffles, "This isn't how tonight was supposed to go. I don't deserve this! I'm not some dumb jock asshole, or manwhore slutting it up across campus, or…" Kevin's pathetic sniffling has devolved into sobbing wails, "…or rich prick legacy that doesn't even need a degree because daddy's the C.E.O. and he's just going to give me a job anyway. My dad's just a regional director; he doesn't even have final say on new hires! It's not fair! Not that you even care. You… you…"</p> <p>Certain you're not interested in whatever insult Kevin plans on hurling next and more than a little desperate to get him to stop screaming, you rush forward and wrap your arms around him in a tight embrace. He nuzzles his face into your chest, complaining about everything and everyone between big wet sobs. After your shirt is soaked through and Kevin seems to have finally quieted, you give him a gentle squeeze and admit you're scared too. You assure him that you'll work together and he'll get out of here and never look back.</p> <p>This, at least, seems to calm him. Kevin wipes some remaining tears and snot on your shirt. "Thanks," he whimpers, "I-- Just, thanks. You're not like the other guys. You're actually a really good listener."</p> <p>After a final comforting squeeze, you let go of Kevin and make your way to the edge of the circle…</p> <<elseif $tMulti is 1>> <<set $buttons[4].ex to "<<set $tMulti to 2>><<goto 'Character Options'>>">> <p>…and promptly bump into an invisible barrier.</p> <p>"Not like the rest of these neanderthals," Kevin continues with renewed confidence. "Just grunting and fucking each other. They think it's so impressive, like everyone //must// just be dying of jealousy watching them wallow in their own filth. They don't even know how pathetic it all is. And that's what <<if $char[6].alive is true>>makes<<else>>made<</if>> Carlos the worst one of all. All semester I told him he needs to get serious about graduating and give the parties and girls a rest. Then, what does he do? Cancels our tutoring session for this stupid party and then has the gall to message me it's all fine because I'm invited. As if I'd given him the slightest, tiniest, infinitesimally small suggestion that I wanted to party with a bunch of stupid frat bros! I only came because I thought I might finally lose my virginity!"</p> <p>His rant finally over, Kevin can only stare at you with an expression of frozen horror. It takes you a moment to put together he's shocked at his own admission of having come to tonight's party a virgin. You try not to show your amusement as you explain to Kevin that this isn't an 80s movie; lots of guys in their early twenties are virgins and there's really no reason for that to be some shameful secret. If anything, he should feel bad about trying to have sex for the first time with someone he thinks is a neanderthal.</p> <p>Relieved and embarrassed, Kevin replies, "I-- I know. It's just… not everyone thinks of it that way, you know?" But, umm, thanks for listening."</p> <p>You tell Kevin it's no problem. While you were kind of forced to hear him out by the ritual, you're glad he got that off his chest. You step away, feeling that--now that you understand some of where his anxiety is coming from--you have a new appreciation for Kevin.</p> <<else>> <<set $tMulti to 0>> <p>That last about ten seconds before Kevin launches into another tirade about some subject that annoys him and how everything would be better if everyone was just like him. The minutes tick by as you lean against the barrier, powerless to tune out Kevin's onslaught of useless, often wrong, information. After a while, Kevin's voice is reduced to little more than an irritating buzz in your head. You nod occasionally, dimly aware of the increasingly vacant expression on your face and the slight concern that, if this continues might longer, you might start drooling on yourself.</p> <<timed 12s>> <p class='fade-in'>You have no clue when Kevin stops talking. One minute you're nodding along in a sea of white noise, the next you're tumbling backwards as the barrier gives out behind you. Kevin, huffs out of the circle, apparently no longer convinced you're such a great listener.</p> <</timed>> <div id="containMove-one"> <div id="move"> "Well, I could tell that I wasn't the only one in the room that had had enough, so I raised my hand and said that, as an atheist, I didn't appreciate my renaissance art history class talking about the magical sky fairy so much.

//<span style="display: block; margin: 0em 0.5em; text-align: center;">"What a delicious group of handsome monsters. One of you here has taken an interest in attaining the powers of an incubus, and he's willing to pay the price: twelve mortal slaves. You. But I am not interested in granting power to the unworthy. An incubus must be able to govern the hearts and minds of lesser men, and so I propose a game. And to make things a little more fair, it will be twelve innocent men against one betrayer. Twelve sacrificial lambs against one wolf in sheep's clothing."</span>// <p>An incubus has crashed your party and is threatening to turn you all into sex-addled playthings unless you win his perverted game. Worse still, it's claiming that it was summoned here by one of the other guests and that this traitor is planning to sacrifice the rest of you.</p> <p>There are two teams. The first team consists of one player: the Wolf. The second team consists of you and all of the other innocent players: the Lambs. The Wolf's goal is to eliminate all of the Lambs without revealing his identity, while the Lambs' goal is to eliminate the Wolf before being eliminated themselves.</p> <p>The game is played in rounds. At the start of a round, every player is assigned one of three different tasks, and their assigned task will appear as a symbol on their lower back. Since you cannot see the symbol on your own back, the only way to learn your assigned task is to ask other players. These tasks and their associated symbols are Lust (Pentacle), Bond (Cup), and Obey (Sword).</p> <span style="fill: white; display: flex; justify-content: space-evenly;">$penta $cup $sword</span> <p>To avoid elimination, each player must find a willing partner, enter the ritual circle, and declare their assigned task. Once declared, both parties are compelled to complete the task. Players may only declare and complete their own task once. Therefore, you should use the time allotted in each round to speak to other players and try to discern your symbol before entering the ritual circle. So that players have a sense of how much time remains, a bell will chime a total of five times during a round at regular intervals, including once to announce the start and end of the round.</p> <p>After the fifth chime, the round concludes and players are gathered together to observe eliminations, where defeated players are transformed and added to the incubus's collection of insatiable sex slaves. Players are eliminated in two ways. First, if a player completed a task other than the one assigned to them, they are eliminated. Second, if any player on a team fails to complete any task at all, the entire team is eliminated at once. If, after the elimination phase, both teams still have one or more players, the bell chimes to announce a new round, the previous symbol on each player's back is removed, and one of the three symbols is randomly selected to replace it. The game continues until the Wolf or the Lambs win.</p>
