Chapter 22: Randomization

Asher and Evelyn hear when Kai and Fia can be heard. "How are you two doing?" Evelyn calls out as both realize they've gotten the better end of the deal this round. She already feels a little guilty getting clothes again.

"We're surviving." Fia says as she runs her fingers gently through Kai's hair. He gives her a weak smile slowly bringing a hand up to his neck realizing the switch that's happened. Mostly he's grateful to have the use of his limbs again. Slowly he rolls on his side as they see the partition keeping Kisho and Tamaya separate lifts.

Tamaya's body rubs against Kishos as their lips stay locked. Their hands fly across each other, her hips grinding against him. "Maya…" he manages to gasp out trying to catch his breath, "I love--" She puts a finger on his lips whispering in his ear, "No talking, more kissing."

Asher gives a louder cough to let them know they're not alone anymore. 

Kisho is quick to gently pull Tamaya away. His face beat red in embarrassment. It's then he sees the panties nearby. Standing he picks them up, "You um might want these." he blushes before looking over at the others stating, "It was one of the fantasies we wrote earlier." He refuses to fess up that this idea was Tamaya's.

Kai sits up noticing, "Soo it's all collars now? Maybe we're halfway through this nightmare. Or the bastards know they've broken us.." There's a scoff in his voice as he leans into Fia's touch. She still has a fierce fire in her eyes angry at the entire situation. It's then he notices Asher and Evelyn's clothing, "Cut a deal with them? Or is this one of Kisho and Tamaya's fantasies?" Fia gives them a suspicious look as well. They all freeze realizing that any of them could choose to work or maybe are working for these sickos watching them.

Kai and Fia knew each other since childhood as did Kisho and Tamaya but the same wasn't true for the eldest pair. Evelyn looks a little nervous stating, "We just did a little extra to get some garments. Nothing that affects the group. Ours was simply eating refreshing food. We did a little more than kisses to get these garments." Everyone sees Asher's face go red for the first time ever. 

They are distracted however by the back walls in each area lighting up with boxes again. This is the first time all of them could choose a box if they like. Kisho asks, "What numbers do we have left?"

"Six through nine, twelve, thirteen, fifteen, sixteen and eighteen." Asher responds quickly. It's then the numbers in the boxes start to shuffle around. All the boxes shift including previously chosen ones with the glowing boxes moving about as well.

"What new hell is this?" Fia grumbles trying to focus on what Asher said. "Trust my reflexes?" She asks Kai with a grin. He nods back. She reaches out and manages to catch an unrepeated number, "Fifteen." She hers the drawer come up and click open rushing to it.

Kisho looks nervous as he comes over and tries counting it out. It's then he reaches out hitting the number one but instead of clicking it keeps moving about faster. "Ookay we can't repeat numbers we've already done. It speeds up each wrong pick." He decides not to think and hits, "Eighteen." He quickly turns around to look for the drawer but nothing happens, "Huh?"

By this time Fia made it to her drawer saying, "Candles and waxing supplies." She lets out a growl as Kai comes over to her finding it ridiculous they seem to get the worst choices, "Better than the last two right?" Fia nods her head.

Now it was up to Asher and Evelyn to get a new number. "Nine!" Asher says confidently as all the enclosures start to do their usual opacity. The last they hear from Evelyn is, "Oh tablets." before everyone's alone with their partners again.
