Ever since the school closed early for the semester, the boys of Alpha Nu Omicron have been bored. Trapped in their frat house and without their house mom to cook or clean for them, the seven stragglers have turned the place into a pigsty. Takeout was the only food, and no one had a job to get to. Even their remaining classes from the rest of the semester weren't worth attending. Even the girls weren't coming by anymore. It was just the guys hanging with each other.
And they were having a fucking blast.
Phill, Tristan, Sammy, Erik, Luke, Joey, and Tom were left to their own devices. They played ping pong, drank themselves to the point of oblivion, and more. It was freaking great, and they were having a wonderful time. There was even a designated jerkoff room (Derrick wouldn't be happy when he came home). But as the weeks went on, the boys got bored, so two of the brothers went exploring.
Erik and Sammy decided on a rainy Sunday to check out the basement, hoping that some former brothers had stashed something interesting down there. Instead, they found a game of some sort, something called "Hands-On: A Transforming Adventure". They brought it upstairs, deciding that it was something to do.
The rules were simple.
Inside the box was an orb, seeming to glow even without batteries. "Maybe it glows in the dark or something," Joey pondered. It was about the size of a watermelon, larger enough for many people to hold onto it. The rules said that you had to keep your hands on the orb, no matter what happened. Every round, someone would draw a card from a deck, with a different category on it: Body, Age, Animal, Mind, Gender, and Size. Then, the men would have to hold onto the orb for as long as possible. Once someone lets go, the round is over and they're out of the game. The game continues until only one person is left.
Only the last line confused the boys. "Only the last brother standing will be himself."
What the gentlemen didn't know what that the longer they kept their hands on the orb, the more they would change. The changes would hit every man differently, all changing in separate ways. The round and changes only pause when someone's hand leaves the orb. But only the last man standing will turn back to normal. Everyone else will keep their changes... forever.
Seven boys, six rounds, six categories, and endless possibilities. And the boys were ready to play to win.
What was the first card drawn?
