Ch 2.77: ❤ Rules
Carline was supposed to be paying attention to Flora, supposed to be trying to find Tira as they pushed through the crowd. Could you really expect her to though? The most insane thing she’d ever seen, ever even heard of, was happening a few dozen feet away on that stage, right before her very eyes.
“Stone! Parchment! Shears! STRIP!”
“Stone wins,” Shein announced, offering a congratulatory gesture to Elaina. “Your shoes, I presume?”
That was what, three items left for each of them now, by Carline’s count? Her eyes were glued to the stage as Prisma slipped off her shoes, placing them on front of the stage near her hair ribbon. Neither were really showing more than they had been when the took the stage, but the tension in the room was palpable. Everyone knew where this was going, where one of them would end up, and Carline could feel the lust pouring from everyone in the room.
“Can’t find her anywhere,” Flora said, stopping as they reached a point in the crowd too dense to push through, craning her head up to look through the rest of the room.
“Stone! Parchment! Shears! STRIP!”
The crowd groaned, both participants having thrown shears. “Tie, go again!” Shein shouted out almost instantly.
“Stone! Parchment! Shears! STRIP!”
“What’s the baby screaming about?” Tira’s voice said.
“Tira!” Carline and Flora both said, both having apparently been distracted by the situation with Waine.
“That’s my name,” Tira said, slotting into their group. “Would’ve found you sooner, but I was looking for a ball of frizz in the crowd, not Miss Perfect-hair here.”
“No idea what you’re talking about,” Flora said with a smirk, turning back to the stage. “But tell me, what the fuck did Elaina get herself into?”
Carline turned too, just in time to see Elaina stepping out of her dress and kicking it forward. She’s so brave.
“She didn’t get into anything, but she’s getting out of her clothes, one of the things she does best,” Tira said with a chuckle. “I feel bad for the Fireguard girl though, actually. There’s no way she’s getting off on this the way Elaina does.”
“You’d be surprised,” Carline said, ignoring the looks of confusion from her friends and watching along as both competitors turned back to each other.
“Well, guess we kick back and enjoy the show,” Tira said.
Carline couldn’t agree more.
