He was actually quite content after scratching Shin out of his picture, even if he was just sitting back & watching things go down up until now; & speaking of now, of all 13 other people in the circle, Shin was the one to land smack dab on him with the spinner. Frowning at the sudden change of things he narrowed his gaze straight at the Haunter across from him, focusing on the piercing red ones until the spinner went around a second time. Peeling his own eyes away from the other male he watched the spinner as it came to a halt on Host's Choice & dreaded the waiting it ensued. From the board to the pink attired Clefairy, Aret waited impatiently with a scowl, only chuckling when he finally heard the answer in a way as if saying "Are you serious?". Tickling? As much as he didn't want that Haunter even touching him, it was better than other things on the game board; & as soon as the words left the Clefairy's mouth, he could already feel Shin behind him.

It was still amazing how fast he moved, but he wasn't amused at all. Even more so when he stiffened at the touch of slender fingers wriggling to get beneath his shirt, & lightly dancing across his still paled skin. The feeling produced an involuntary laughter, something that only made him dislike the Haunter even more. But when those fingers started wriggling lower, towards places he certainly did not want touched by that putrid Haunter. Forcing aside his laughter he swung his hand around to land a slap to any part of flesh, but only impacted the air since Shin had quickly retreated before he had the chance to land a hit. Growling under his breath & gritting his teeth, he slowly let it go & instead just scowled at the haunter as he reached for the spinner, flicking it around, but kept his eyes fiercly locked on the pair of red gleaming ones almost as if challenging him.

He was slow to turn his gaze away from the Haunter, a harden scowl still on his face until he actually saw where the bottle pointed. Straight at the red head he hadn't even gotten to confront over a small misunderstanding, perhaps this would be good opportunity to fix that? Smirking to himself as his eyes actually looked at the freckle littered Vulpix, his hand reached out to the spinner once again, flicking it around without really looking back at until the shiffing noise of the spinner stopped. Looked like that chance was being handed to him on a silver platter. Chuckling at his fortune, Aret slowly approached the Vulpix in a saunter until he was right by him, & without warning threw a thin leg over Edan's lap, promptly sitting himself on the others lap. Chuckling again with a devious smirk he leaned forward almost as if he was going for the kiss right off, but skimmed by to his ear. "I think you misunderstood me earlier, 'cause I don't doubt either of us could show us both a good time." His smirk widened, releasing a short soft chuckling after murmuring in the males ear, then pulled back far enough to plant a kiss on the red heads lips.

They were gentle at first, which only turned to nipping & roughening as he mentally counted down his time, his hands only wandered no further than the orange locks, but as the time reached 0 he ended it with tug at the males bottom lip before he slipped off his lap. "Your turn..." He spoke back in a soft seductive tone, leaning in just a bit too close for comfort, then turned walking back to his chair nonchalantly & proud as if he'd just achieved some sort of trophy.

Edan hadn't been too surprised or interested in the game's latest spins, and apparently his comment had silenced the petite rock star at least for a few moments. But before the vulpix could become too comfortable in his seat, someone else decided to make his lap into their own seat. His eyes shot open from their relaxed position, immediately straightening up, rigid and ready to knock the teddiursa off of him. Then, he caught sight of the game, reminded once again that they were all to obey it's will. And there it was, the spinner had pointed towards him and landed on an action that he'd done earlier with someone else.

He raised an eyebrow at the rather over the top display, the boy didn't have to take to his lap or make any attempts to seduce him - so the whispering in his ear was quite un-called for. But, it did mean that he'd been mistaken earlier when he'd assumed that the boy was just anti-gay people, now realizing that it was more likely that the young brunette just had an attitude. Edan may have had an attitude of his own, but that didn't mean that he had any tolerance for someone else having one, call it hypocritical if you want - he wouldn't care.

Before he could snap out a comeback to the dirty innuendo though, lips locked with his own, leaving much rougher kisses than he had been giving during the game. Edan couldn't say that he minded receiving harsh kisses, or giving them - but he could say that being on the receiving end of much of anything was quite new to him. He was a very assertive and forceful type of guy and when it came to the sexual and romantic acts, he was used to being the one to initiate and control all the moves. But he received the kisses, as compliantly as was possible, adding a few rougher nips and tugs of his own as a subconscious display of dominance, not that he planned to or wanted to dominate the brunette. And the bonus points of all this was that he was sure it would piss off the sableye seated next to him - which was becoming a fun hobby of his.

When the teddiursa's dare ended he finally got to spit out a retort to the earlier comment, "I'm sure we could, if only you were my type, buttercup." his lips tilted up into a smirk, watching the brunette go back to his seat before leaning towards the game to take his spin.

Edan watched intently as the spinner came to a halt, looking up from it to see a heavily pierced face. The manectric that had been so flustered by all the earlier actions he'd received already. It seemed like the game really had a thing for him! Directly after catching sight of his soon-to-be victim, Edan reached down to take the second spin that would determine his action.

Tickle your Partner Anywhere.

It wasn't very interesting but Edan had just gotten enough 'interesting' to not feel the need to have anymore excitement from the game. He left his seat, casually walking over to take his place beside of the blond before making his move. He lunged forward, one hand hovered over the man's neck and one at his hip, fingers wriggling, the tips barely grazing his skin. The hand that was over his neck traced a line down, from shoulder, to armpit and soon to his side. And the hand that lay on his hip traced upward, from hip, to stomach, to side, all the while those fingers wriggling about in rapid gentle strokes - knowing that the lightest touches could have the most effect.

Once he felt he'd given it his best shot, satisfied either way, he pulled his hands away "Good luck." he offered with a laugh as he nudged the game towards the blond that seemed doomed from the moment he walked in the door. Then he stood up and made his way back to his seat.

Feeling quite bummed of his current luck he laid his head in his arms, which were folded on top of the table, Honestly he was really thinking about just leaving, the chances seemed so slim that he was starting to doubt himself & question things that shouldn't be bothered with. Sighing heavily to himself his lip still had that lingering pain from his sudden burst of action just minutes ago. Just thinking back to it made him uneasy & sick to his stomach, but whether it was because he was truely disgusted or because he very slightly enjoyed it was all just chalked up to him being disgusted by it.

Grimacing to himself, he peeked out from arms to find the spinner... once again... pointing at him. What had he done to deserve this!? Were the Gods that existed this upset with him!? Astounded by this string of bad luck, Anet stared at the board game unsure how to react anymore. Instead, he frowned, waiting for his next assault to be decided by fate. Releasing a slow soft sigh his eyes watched the spinner carefully, util it finally came to a halt. Looked there was a bit of luck finally, sure it was a bit close for his comfort, but it was better than having to kiss him! Even before the red head had started Anet was smirking over the sudden change of pace, & started chuckling which quickly turned to laughter the closer the male got to his sensitive spots. Just when he thought he was going to die from laughing, the Vulpix stopped, bidding him luck. Catching his breath he again frowned realizing it was his turn now, & that bit of luck was just what he'd need. Perhaps even more than that...

Slowly, as usual, he reached for the spinner, flicking it once & waiting for the fast spinning bottle to come to a halt, for it again to decide just what was going to happen now. He just hoped... prayed to whatever god out there that they'd have mercy on him.

What luck! Sure not as lucky as he had been hoping, but it was hell of a lot better than how it had been going. Grinning ear to ear, the depression of his slipped away, not even caring how much her attitude intimidated him a bit. But what was humorous was what come from his second spin. After flicking it around a second time, it landed on massage. It was such a ironic landing, 'cause in his eyes she did seem a bit stuck up & tense. The blonde let his grin fall to a gentler one as he tilted his head to the side just before lifting himself from his chair & slowly approaching the girl with caution. She looked young, quite young, but not that far an age difference from himself. Maybe she was legal?

Letting that odd thought go, he stopped just behind her, & leaned down close to her ear with a coy smirk. "Just relax, I know what I'm doing." His voice came out velvety & deep, almost mesmerizing in a way that you wouldn't've of expected from the constant flustered male just earlier. But this was his type of territory now. In a slow rhythmic motion, he gently ran his over her shoulders, to her the sides of her neck & started to apply a bit of pressure, rotating his thumbs & massaging with his other fingers. Anet continued to do so, remaining gentle yet forceful weaving out any tensed & knotted parts around her shoulders as he reminded himself the whole time of his time limit that ended as he rotated back to the sides of her neck. "Your up." Was all he said in a hushed tone before returning to his seat, in no rush to head back though, & sat back in his seat.

The game of 'Spin the Bottle' grew more and more dreary. Watching males french kiss wasn't all that entertaining. It felt as if she was in a game of 'Yaoi Spin the Bottle'. Crystal stared dully at the board, watching the spinner spin from the sidelines. As a few more people went, her eyes wandered. Not quite entertained by the game. She glanced over her shoulder, noticing the snack cart that came in a little while ago. What was it...twenty three minutes ago? She didn't seem to notice it. Then, she saw a clear sundae glass, scoops of slowly melting vanilla ice cream inside. A whipped cream top rested ontop, with a single merichino cherry topping the sundae off. Eagerly and impatiently, she climbed over the couch, leaping from her seat. Wanting her sundae. She had waited a half an hour for it. And here it was. A sly grin slithered across her glossed lips. Grasping the still cold ice cream sundae in her hands, she darted back to her seat in the game. Lunging and leaping over the couch and landing perfectly in her seat. And with great success, she chuckled. She had noticed that she hadn't spilled the liquid contents in the glass, or made a mess. She was quite lucky for that.

Crystal took the metal spoon that was tucked into the ice cream, the handle sticking out. She scooped a spoonful of vanilla ice cream. She lifted it from the glass and raised it to her lips, which parted, letting the ice cream and the spoon in. She slid the contents of the spoon into her mouth and swallowed. Feeling the vanilla liquid slither down her throat, she smiled in content. Crystal began to take another spoonful, until, she had noticed the spinner pointing to her. The cardboard cutout of the bottle pointing directly to her. And across the room, there was a grinning manectric, who has spun upon her. She gave a smirk and watched the spinner be flicked once more.

10 second massage.

A massage? Hmph. Crystal could use one. She had such tense muscles that needed loosening. She waited patiently for the heterosexual blond to make his way toward her and give her a short massage. Her dark teal eyes returned to her glass as she scooped more spoonfuls of ice cream into her mouth. Then, the manectric stood behind her. She felt his tall shadow looming over her. Then, he leaned toward her ear. Her black ice eyes glanced at him from the corner of her eye, noticing his coy smirk as he whispered into her ear. Crystal had noticed his voice. Velvety and deep. Yet warm. The voice a male would use to comfort or seduce his lover. It was a bit hard to think that before, he was a flustering male that always ended up kissing people that were the same gender as him. She chuckled lightly and she relaxed the muscles in her back. Letting the male's fingers dig into her skin to place pressure in the muscles. Her eyes closed softly as his thumbs worked into her. Making her moan softly. And before she knew it, her ten seconds of receiving a massage was over. The man's fingers were no longer rubbing into her skin, but he whispered to her that it was now her turn. Crystal's teal eyes reopened, looking to the spinner.

Finally...her turn. Placing the sundae between her legs, she leaned toward the coffee table to 'spin the bottle'.

Salem. The petite Sableye rock star. The spinner pointed to him. Crystal gave the male a sly smirk. Her dark eyes staring at him with their natural iciness. She chuckled. The man was attractive. No doubt. But very thin and a bit short. About her height. The glaceon was a bit annoyed with his whining to his companion earlier, and his rather vain comment of her wanting a taste of the sableye, was quite obnoxious. But all in all, she thought ha was rather handsome. By the lack of turns he has spun, she didn't know what sexual orientation he was. If she had spun on a kissing space, and if he was bisexual or heterosexual, this wouldn't be uncomfortable. Otherwise...if homosexual, it would be awfully disturbing. However, Crystal didn't mind what they were to do. Leaning over to the spinner, her painted black fingernail flicked at the spinner. The cardboard cut out of the bottle spinning around. Once it came to a stop, she wore a very mischievous grin. There was a little glint in her eye. A chuckle escaped her lips.

French Kiss.

This was up her alley. She was very good at kissing. You could say excellent. Crystal lifted the sundae out from between her thighs and placed it upon the table. She pushed herself up off the cushion of the sofa and maneuvered herself toward Salem. Recently, throughout the game, she had noticed the vulpix's enjoyment of teasing the sableye. And making him watch in envy as he kissed and made out with others. Crystal could now make Salem's companion a bit envious as well. Now in front of the small rocker, she leaned close. Her fingers gently, but forcefully made Salem look into her eyes. She gave a dark grin to him before leaning in to press her glossed lips onto his soft, warm ones. Her eye lids closed as she kissed him. A bit calm. Then, her lips pressed harder into his, and parted her lips as well as his own. Crystal's tongue slithered into the male's mouth and began to rummage and move throughout his mouth. Before she entered her tongue into his mouth, you could barely hear the Jaws theme song. When the shark nears the boat. Crystal began to french the man. Rummaging and exploring his mouth a little roughly. Placing dominance over him. The glaceon wasn't fond of being controlled over. She liked the feeling of dominance throughout her one night stands. However, her partner would always fight her for it, making sex a bit more enjoyable and more hot. Crystal moaned in enjoyment from this.

Soon enough, her tongue retreated back into her own mouth. Slithering back like a snake back into its hole. She placed a soft, gentle kiss onto Salem's lips before returning back to her seat. She grinned with pride, as she seated herself back onto the couch. She snatched her sundae and watched the game continue.

and maybe....you're gonna be the one that saves me...



Salem watched in a silent horror as the spinner spun by the emo girl landed right on him. Oh, this would surely be painful. Then she spun again for the action, and of course it was french kiss. He thought for a moment of how horrible this would be and before he knew it, she was right in front of him.

The sableye wanted to jump out of his skin as she shoved her tongue in his mouth and all too roughly forced her way around. He just waited for the moment to be over, mortified by the act occurring with a female. Finally she was off of him and he wiped his lips onto the shoulder of his hoodie. "Christ woman, try to keep your boner to yourself!" he said, squirming a bit.

But at last, he had his turn. He was secretly hopeful that the bottle would stop on Edan, though the game was showing some favorites. He took the spinner into his hands and flicked it, waiting for it's verdict.

Kiss Anywhere

And there sat the spinner on Aefes. He hadn't even noticed the feebas come in, but now got the rude awakening. Staring at the man he had once made love to, he felt a knot in his stomach. He hated the awkward situation that had ended everything between the two of them. Though, he had no desire to have anything with him again, he desperately wanted this awkward feeling to be gone.

The petite rocker crawled his way over to the feebas. He got his choice of where to kiss him and he gave a little smirk. Of course he had kissed him in many places before so this was no foreign action. He chose to go a more strange route, and moved the hair from over Aefes' ear and gave the lobe a short kiss, though it was more of a suck than a kiss.

His icy eyes looked at him, placing the spinner in his lap, "Your turn," he said with a wink before crawling back to his spot by the vulpix. He looked at him and nudged him with his elbow again "Jealous?" he whispered jokingly before picking his bottle of Jack back up.

It was strange he hadn't taken notice of the Sableye, sure he'd noticed, but he'd overlooked him after being distracted by the Model Mew. The very one he was seated next to. But his eyes hadn't really been on the male the whole time with all the action happening, it was hard for him to look away from it. Unfortunately since he couldn't look away, he giving himself a problem, that is until the turn with Crystal came up & turned it off. But it also made him realize there someone there he'd missed. Not missed missed, no, he hadn't seen him until he was brutally attacked by that Glaceon's tongue & quite honestly felt bad. Salem's after comment though made him chuckle. Aefes may not of missed him much, but that didn't mean he didn't miss the good times they spent.

Setting his head in his palm he narrowed his gaze at the Sableye with a devious smirk just recalling it all, suddenly wanting a taste of that again. But... Then there was Lumi. Like he wanted to be nagged or worse... left behind. Mentally groaning, he cursed at himself for getting himself involved with the Magmortar so much that he feared the male leaving his life entirely now, but at the same time couldn't keep to just him. It was a hard thing to deal with for him. Settling down for one person was just asking too much. It was like having one meal for the rest of your life, that one meal would eventually get boring & tasteless, & you'd want something else. That's just how Aefes was, it would be very hard to get him to settle, but what Lumi didn't know wouldn't hurt him. After dazing off in thought he looked to the game board to see the cut out bottle was pointing at him, but only caught by a milisecond before it started to spin yet again by the Sableye's hands. Then it stopped, on Kiss Anywhere. The Feebas couldn't help but chuckle at the irony of it, & only watched as the Sableye approached rather quickly, his own anticipation growing since he knew just how much Salem had memorized his soft spots. The freckled male bit his own lip, feeling his piercings clinking with his teeth while he eyed the crawling Sableye in fast approach until he was inches before him. Inhaling sharply, the moment seeming so slow, he felt his legnthened laying mohawk brushed to the side, tickling his face for only a second as the purple haired male sucked at his stretched lobe. It sent chills, shivers & tickles through his body & he couldn't help but exhale with a soft moan, a wide spread smirk on his face even as the Sableye pulled away. His chocolate eyes looked into the icy blue ones, but only for the moment until he turned around after plopping the board game in his lap & he got a good clear view of the males bottom. His devious smirk still splayed until the male was back seated, but his ears caught something interesting. Seemed Salem was trying to make the Vulpix boy jealous. Perhaps he could be of assistance. Chuckling to himself at the win win situation playing in his head, he picked up the board game from his lap & flopped it back on the table not wasting a second to spin it.

Seriously? That just made his boner go bye bye, atleast he could thank her for that, it would've been awkward waddling around with one, but that wasn't what was eating at him now. "Ehh.." He moaned softly to himself, still glancing at the bottle to the Clefairy. If he was into females... Maybe, she looked good enough, maybe a bit annoying, but either way female genitalia just grossed him out a bit, especially with how stretched out it gets, how saggy their chests got... it's just disgusting. Giving a slight discomforted & disgusted frown he turned his eyes away back to the board flicking it around again.

Sing a Love Song

How cliche'. Aefes wasn't exactly romantic, not in the least. So to have to sing this female a love song was just that much more weird in his book. Shrugging it off with a coy smirk, he pushed himself from his seat & walked over to the karaoke machine, turning it on as he made way around it, & set the options to 'random' or rather 'shuffle'. Can't Be Tamed by Miley Cyrus quickly popper up after much shuffling was done on the machine, & Aefes was in between glad & still slightly iffy on the fact that he had to be singing to the host & much worse, this song. Again he frowned much like he did before, but before he could give it much thought the music had started. As much as he wasn't going to like it, he'd atleast put on a show for the boys while still trying to keep some... some eye contact with the host. His hips swayed side to sid & swivled as he sang along with the music, lucky to already know this song practically by heart, unfortunately he wasn't singer material, but he wasn't bad enough to make your ears bleed either. He knew how to use his voice long story short. The Feebas wavered his attention to the Clefairy, & to the Mew within the room sending him & the Sableye a wink while trying to be a subtle about it as to not ruin chances with either. His hands roamed his own body, making slow trails throughout the song, it was almost like watching a stripper, or as they prefered to be called a "dancer" minus the loss of clothing & a pole.

As the song finally came to an abrupt end he shut it off like the person before him had, & slowly made way back to his seat with a large smirk on his face ignoring the fact he'd practically forgotten who he was supposed to be singing for to begin with. As he reseated himself next to the Mew yet again, he waited for the male to atleast glance his way before giving him a devious look, just looking Aefes that way anyone would know what he had running through his mind; & it wasn't suitable for virgin eyes or ears.
