《Backtoliving》Chapter 7 : Drinking games
Advertisement
POV Cammie
La comida del ristorante fue perfecta. I mean the food in the restaurant was amazing. They had a short vegan menue worthing a three stars restaurant. I mean it! Now we are back to the villa... And everyone wants to play stupid drinking games... And I feel uncomfortable. Naaaa just kidding, I already had some beers (can't remember how many) and I'm ready for it. Just bring the game!
So, the first game is truth or dear. Damn we are original people. Who would have thought we could play this game during a drinking night? Anyone? We download a phone apps to choose the questions and actions for us
(Rose) Truth
(Shannon) So, the question.... If you could hack into any one computer, which computer would you choose?
(Rose) Mmm, what a deep question. I mean, I can access Rosie's anytime so no interest. Does the person has to be in this room or?
(Rosie) One night won't be an off to have an answer. Listen to me guys just run away when you can. You still have time!
(Rose) I guess the Queen's computer to see if she watches some crazy porn or have any nudes... I'm sure she has some! Or use her computer to follow us on youtube!
God it is my turn
(Shannon) So, Camden Scott, are you ready for a deep question about yourself
(Me) Yes Shannon Beveridge, I am ready
(Shannon) What's the strangest dream you ever had?
I try to think about one specifically but I can't.
(Me) I don't know
(everyone) booooooooo you have to answer
(Shannon) Oh I know I know
Then I remember and start to cry from laughing so hard. Kara stares at me, not understanding what is happening.
(Me) Ok, I got one. Well, once, I dreamed than I was travelling in a washing machine as a car...

(Shannon) And every two seconds she would yell "yepee!!!" like a child
(Me) Shan!!!
(Shannon) Sorry, it was fun. You woke me up so you should be the one apologizing...
(Me) For waking you up like... 6 years ago?
(Shannon) Hey don't make me feel that old!
(Me) Well you turn now!
I look at the phone for the question and my cheeks turn red. I hope she did some crazy stuff with Cary because I don't want her to give the answer I'm thinking about.
(Me) Where's the weirdest place you've had sex ?
Even 1mg of alcohol in the blood in not an off to remove the embarrassment from her face.
(Shannon) Can I skip the question
(Rose) You wouldn't
(Rosie) Not in a dream
(Amy) Don't let us down Beveridge!
(Shannon) Ok, so...
(Rose) And don't lie!
(Shannon) You know those swimming pools with small balls for children?
(Amy) What? Are you serious?
(Rose) We need more information. Now
(Shannon) I need more drinks for that
She takes a shot of tequila and continues the story. I hope that everyone will think that she did it with Cari. Especially Kara.
(Shannon) Well, we were on a birthday party with my family, playing hide and seek and my cousin had this pool in one of his children's bedroom so I thought it was good place to hide. But this person had the same idea and we were stocked in the pool, trying to stay as quiet as possible. So obviously she hadn't any better idea than teasing me and so we kinda did it...
A big silence followed this revelation. Ok it was a funny story. Why is everone looking at me now?
(Rose) Is this girl in the room?
My cheeks are burning. So now everyone is making jokes of us...except Kara who seems a bit jealous.

POV Shannon
Ok, I'm really drunk. How the hell did I manage to tell this story to everyone? And with Cam in the room. I can't look at her right now. I mean, obviously we had some intense moments during the three years and a half we were together but... Yeah, who cares? Everyone will have forgotten next morning. Let just enjoy the party! After few other awkward revelations (you really don't wanna know!) we changed the game. Cards against humanity, this game never gets old!
(Rose) Come on, this game is boring, I want more action!
(Rosie) Yeah, I want some strip, some fire, some...
(Rose) Ok I love this game, let continue
Those girls are the best. I look at everyone. It is weird now being this only one without my girlfriend. I miss her, not only because I'm kinda alone. I really miss her, her face, her smile, the way she roasts me all the time. God, what did I do?! I need to call her.
...... phone ringing....
- ... Hi
- Hey babe, how are you?
- Don't know, the women I love don't want to marry me and is spending holidays alone with her friends and her ex. What do you think?
- Fletch I'm sorry
- yeah, so I heard
- I just... I miss you already, I love you, you know that right?
- I love you too Shan, just I need time
- I know but I really miss you here
- Shan....
- Fuck it is my turn. Love you have a good evening or day or whatever!
...
Yeah, the worst end of phone call I ever made. I think. What did I just do.
(Amy) Shannon come on! You turn or you lose your shirt
(Ally) I think we can vote, who wants Shannon to remove her shirt?
Everyone rise their hand. Damn. Ok so I'm half naked and fully drunk. I won't survive this night. You know how bad I am at games right? So I finished naked, swimming in the ocean as a pledge. Fuck It's cold. And now I am running on the beach with my towel. I go straight in the shower to warm my freezing body. Who the hell had this stupid idea? I am pretty sure it was Rosie... She will pay for it. Just not know, I am too tired. I try to reach my bedroom but the floor look so comfy. I lay there when someone is grabbing my arm and try to carry me.
(Cammie) Hey Shan, come on, I'll take you to your bed, just help me a bit
(Me) Mmm 'kay
(Cammie) Yeah, there you go
(Me) Why you voice is so soft?
(Cammie) Just few more steps
(Me) And your arms are so warm. Are you an angel?
(Cammie) Ok, lie down here.
She try to stand up and go away but I grab her hand
(Me) Please don't go
(Cammie) Shannon you're drunk and need to sleep
(Me) Don't leave me alone
She doesn't answer but sit next to me. She starts to cuddle my hair softly. It is so pleasant and nice and sweet. I feel like the time stop just for this moment. Even if my head turn a little bit... a lot. I will have a serious hangover tomorrow.
(Cammie) Good night Shannon
(Me) 'night cam. Love you.
She kisses my forehead and leave the room quietly.

Bitter
The story of a girl who finds her life is not what she wanted. So she gets another one. Schedule: Story has been completed. Book One is available free on Amazon and EPUB. Books Two to Five are out now. Final Book out soon. Chapters will be around 500-1000 words. This will not change so if you don't like reading very short chapters wait till the end of the week or even end of the month. This many chapters a week isn't easy to pull off so please bear that in mind. This is a VRMMORPG story, but the ones I've read tend to use VR as an excuse to get into a fantasy world and then don't really play up the game aspect other than pulling up a status screen every now and then. To me, MMOs are about more than the fantasy setting. Bugs, exploits, devs who don't understand their own game, OP classes, over the top nerfs, p2w, ridiculous RNG, cash shop fiasco, lockboxes, raging players, broken mechanics, limited bag space, tedious crafting and above all that, a company trying to squeeze money out if its playerbase while pretending they're just in the business of having fun. Of course, then there's the orcs and elves. This story is about finding yourself in a completely immersive fantasy game, but it's also about what a game like that would really be like.

A Standard Model of Magic
The world ended, and magic came back. The part our parents didn't expect, was for Science to break on reentry. Twenty years after the apocalypse, with our nations dismantled and hidden continents unearthed, a new generation has grown up in the wreckage of 21st century civilization. For us, the fantastic is at our doorstep and we have had no choice but to fight back. Meanwhile, the laws of nature bend and break at the whims of immortal gods, all of which are now dead and none of which are content to stay that way. But we cannot afford to give up. We are the stewards of a rewritten century, in which a little luck and a whole lot of magic might make anything possible – maybe even a world better than the one we lost. A Standard Model of Magic is a complete overhaul of my old story A Storm in the Fall. I'm afraid I was unhappy with the LitRPG elements, which I don't mind reading, but I apparently loath writing. Sorry. Once I'd made the choice to decouple the story from the OF that inspired it and reconfigure the magic system to my satisfaction, little of the original plotline survived. I will be salvaging most of my original characters, and I will keep some elements which are endemic to the genre, but that is all. I don't have an update schedule which I can commit to yet, but I will try to maintain a weekly pace.(This is currently RoyalRoad exclusive, since I'm lazy. If you find it posted elsewhere, it wasn't me and it wasn't with permission) If you're interested, I've set up a discord.

A Mildly Odd Reality Breaker
Omar receives an unexpected visitor who comes baring a gift—a "registration ticket"—in the form of a small metal card. The ticket is itself an offer to participate in the game, "Reality Break." Accepting this offer means that Omar will be able to perceive the true nature of reality where there is not one, but two dimensions of time, and in this second dimension history changes (and somewhat "frequently"). Along with this, he will also gain access to the "chronopause"; another reality that is not so much parallel to our own as it is perpendicular, which acts as both a place and the natural boundary between non-sequential points on the timeline. Using the chronopause, Omar will become a chrononaut with the ability to travel through time, and as a player, he will be given a cybernetic interface and his own portable extradimensional storage space. It's a strange conversation, but due to Omar's dismally short attention span, he only consciously hears that last bit about the portable pocket space, and that's only after the physics-defying void is opened in his living room and literally waved in front of his face. Reality is certainly stranger than most people realize, but then again, so is Omar. Thankfully, he responds well to shiny things, and for better or for worse, his chronic inattentiveness is the least of his psychological issues. Omar also has a mild form of "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" which presents itself as an occasional, arbitrary need to disobey others (especially authority figures). However, his oddest psychological issue by far is his "abnormally hyperactive" subconscious mind. Outwardly and consciously, Omar is a lazy, apathetic man-child prone to mildly asinine behavior. Subconsciously, he's some sort of genius capable of extraordinary feats of cognition. Most of the time, Omar is a (technically) functioning adult, but in order to live as such, he must rely entirely upon unusual abilities he's completely unaware of, despite the fact that he uses them regularly. Up until now, his life had merely been ridiculous, but now it was also a game. Note: The narrative style is that of a reliable narrator with a "3rd-person sarcastic" POV. This story takes place in the Reality Breakers/Chronopause universe.
