BXBX NOVEL Chapter 768
That pretty much continued until breakfast was over and then Kamiko pulled out a game box for demon monopoly. Even if it was a bit different to Earth rules, it was interesting to see the game was so prolific. The demonic version had a few different changes, the most obvious being the fact the game board was twice the size, with a ‘pit stop’ section halfway through that topped up your money just like go. Kat wasn’t sure what to make of the fact there was still the one Go-To-Jail square, which was ‘Punishment’ instead.
When the markers came up Lily instantly snagged the Memphis piece. Kamiko laughed at that and reached out for another piece before flinching back, presumably to let everyone pick before herself but Sue and Kat decided otherwise. Kamiko picked the sword piece for herself and Sue picked the bikini bottom. It wasn’t a surprise she chose that one, though Kat was a bit shocked it was included the board games options at all. A quick glance at the box did not reveal an age rating on the game.
Kat looked over the remaining pieces, there was a cake, a mirror, a sack of money and a fake emerald, or at least, she thought it was fake. It was as she was looking them over a second time she realised what they all meant and frowned a second time, before glancing at the sword Kamiko had chosen, and deciding she was being silly. Kat chose the emerald for her piece and placed it at the starting line and they were off.
They spent the rest of the day playing Monopoly, with only a short break for lunch. Sue managed to get really luck at the start, or perhaps everyone else was unlucky, never managing to land on all that many properties at all. Sue managed to spend most of her funds buying her way across the board and getting ahead that way.
That was until a couple of rounds later she took a big hit to the wallet from a community chess card, forcing her to play on the back foot with basically nothing for a few more turns. Everyone else started to build up there business over the course of an hour or so of gameplay, slowly letting there influence creep over the board. Kat found herself grinning quite often, even as everyone else looked at her like she was crazy.
Due to Lily’s lack of hands, Kat needed to roll the dice in her place. Somehow, Lily got most of the ‘good’ roles and community chess cards. Despite this, Kat was grinning because Lily kept giving her good deals on property. At the 2 and a half hour mark it was really clear that Kat and Lily had managed to gang up. Well, Sue said, “Of course you realise this MEANS WAR!”
.....
And the game became much more of a 2v2 fight rather than a free-for-all. Sue even offered Kamiko a free pass across her properties before Kamiko put her foot down and said, “No. While I’m not going to say anything against teaming up because it’s basically already happened, I don’t want to complete ignore them. We’ll still be paying, and we can just trade back and forth if we want, but doing it this way opens up the chance for betrayal. Keeps things interesting,”
Kamiko’s subtle hint of betrayal didn’t really amount to anything though. Kat and Lily could hear each other’s thoughts and while Kat could hide them, she couldn’t give any false thoughts to Lily. So they just kept the link open. Kamiko and Sue had some close calls before the bailed each other out a few times but seeing the pair of girlfriends not even blink at trading half of their money away for one of their single properties a few times it became clear that they weren’t going to do anything.
The game really started to drag after that. There was one property on the board, a yellow one, that kept getting PASSED OVER EVERY DAMN TIME, but otherwise the board had been bought out. Nobody had a solid lead on the railroads, though in this case they were called ‘Teleportation Junctions’ instead. Lily owned all of team lesbian’s copies, but Sue and Kamiko had them split between each other.
The only interesting thing was that Kat had tried to give away most of her stuff in the mid game to Lily, but the girlfriend team had realised that while as long as one of them had the stuff it was mostly fine, having basically nothing meant Lily was constantly giving Kat money so it was easier to hand over a few properties, a good chunk of which were Kat’s originally anyway, so that the Succubus had some passive income.
In the end. It was late in the evening when Sue needed to leave and nobody was really winning. Kat had the least money, to nobody’s surprise, and Lily had the most. As a team though, it was about equal to Kamiko and Sue who had a much more even distribution of wealth. In the end, it was decided that, while interesting, next time they were playing with the timer on. How long, they couldn’t quite agree on, but a timer was a MUST.
Still, it was time to go there mostly separate ways. Kamiko gave everyone a hug, Sue gave everyone a kiss on the cheek, though she was a little close to the lips, and was not afraid to give Kamiko’s cheek a bit of a lick, prompted a blush from the girl I question. When she moved in to likely do the same Kat, Lily had just stared back at Sue. Kat could tell there was only amusement in the gaze, but having two slitted eyes bore into your soul was apparently enough for Sue to leave it at a quick peck. Well, that or she was respecting Lily’s territory anyway. Lily did get her own peck though, so Kat wasn’t totally sure either way.
“I had a great time. We need to do this again!” cheered Kat, with Lily echoing the sentiment.
“Yeah, Kat’s going for the money shot there,” said Sue with a wink, “I had a wonderful time and even if we should really play a different board game next time,”
Kamiko nodded and gave them both another hug before everyone headed for the front door. None of Kamiko’s family showed up, or at least none of them were visibly around. Kat was certain she could feel someone looking and most of the inhabitants were powerful enough that she was sure they could run out of her sight when she glanced around a few times if they wanted.
There was a third and final round of hugs before the three girls were engulfed in flames and the transport started. *Well that was nice. What did you think of it?*
[It... it was actually a little weird.]
*How so?*
[This is going to sound horrible but... I don’t think I remembered what it was like to have friends. What we had even before we were dating wasn’t all that typical. We spent all our free time together and really looking back on it, only the fact we weren’t making out prevented us from classing it as dating. And... and even if that’s a bit of an exaggeration the dynamic here was completely different.]
[As friendly as we were with each other, I have had a massive crush on you the entire time. I was forever fighting against my instincts to make out with you and just pretend to be normal, at the same time as my heart was soaring from spending time together. Honestly, the fact I nobody really noticed is a shock.]
[Here though. There’s no expectations. I know Sue and Kamiko are straight, and even if they weren’t they know we are together and I trust them not to come between us like that. I feel basically nothing when I look at Kamiko. She’s very petite and her baggy clothes hid like everything. She also has a bit of a baby face. Sue though, goes in the other direction. She’s all out there all the time, and sure that’s kinda hot the first time. And the second time. But pretty quickly it just sorta fades into ‘yup that’s what Sue’s up to’ and it can still be embarrassing but it really doesn’t do much for me either.]
[Though I do wonder if I’m only like that because I’m with you. She’s a hot demon babe and I feel like I should be looking a bit more even if I know she’s straight. Maybe it’s because she became a friend quickly? I really don’t have experience with this. Stella’s groupies weren’t Sue levels of attractiveness, and I really only had eyes for Stella at the time. I mean, I know I’ve had stronger reactions to girls at school, as much as I tried to hide those. It just makes me wonder.]
