"If it's not drugs, what is it then?"
"Oh, they're dope alright," Stu cackled, "Just not the kind you're thinking of"
"They're a unique blend of herbs from South Afria," Deb explained, "They affect you in a slightly different way to other narcotics"
The four of them exchanged glances. Paulie was anxious that they weren't telling him something, but he'd come this far. If he chickened out, Paulie would never let him hear the end of it.
"You'll do it with me?" He asked.
"Of course," Drake smiled. The others nodded. This reassured him.
His reassurance was thrown off when Stu began to undo his belt. Drake took of his shirt, revealing a nicely tanned torso. Deb took great time in removing her many buckled boots. Even Rick had started to strip.
"W...what're you doing?"
"I said relax," Stu chided.
"C'mere," Drake said as he undid Paulie's flies. Paulie stepped away.
"I'll do it myself"
Soon, all five were sat around the box completely naked. Stu turned out to have even more tattoos in places Paulie hadn't expected. Paulie ashamedly couldn't help comparing cock sizes. Thankfully, he wasn't the smallest in the room (that title went to Rick) but the most impressive was that of Drake's. Drake caught him looking but said nothing. Cassandra, too, was very attractive underneath her clothes. Paulie couldn't help feeling a little vulnerable. He wanted desperately to cover his cock and balls with his hands, but everyone else seemed so confident.
"Everyone take one," Drake instructed.
Paulie fished through the box and pulled out a worn looking spliff.
Stu pulled a book of matches from his nearby jeans, struck one and lit everyone up.
Paulie shut his eyes and took a drag. Smoke filled his lungs. He stifled a cough, not wanting to seem like a noob, but failed. Nobody paid him any attention.
The smell of vanilla filled the back of his nose, which felt odd. Not that that was out of place at the moment.
"I think," he told Rick, "I'm gonna go"
Rick looked at him and Paulie gasped. Rick's usually bare face now sported a short beard and incredible amounts of stubble.
"Rick, your face!"
"You too, genius"
Paulie felt his face to find that Rick wasn't lying. And it wasn't just his face either, his arms and chest were growing fur.
