Play Together

Previous Episode Main IndexStory Index


The game finished booting up, displaying a draw count and timer at opposing ends of the device, currently reading a draw count of one and twenty-five minutes left in the current turn.

The device also shot out beams of light, displaying the names and information of players. For Ranma and Nabiki, they had text inviting them to draw a card to join the game. For other players it displayed their name and card count.

Kasumi saw the one for her displayed more information.

P5 : Kasumi Tendo : 5’6”(5’10”) 36C-28-36 soft and curvy [-♂ / 8♀]
- 1 of 13; 10D Long Legs

Kasumi felt herself stretching out a bit, her eye-level rising a few inches despite being seated on the floor. It was barely enough to be noticeable, so she wasn’t too bothered by the change. She was already tall for a Japanese girl, but a few more inches shouldn’t be too much.

10 of Diamonds - Long Legs Gain four inches of height, plus additional inches in leg length equal to any hip growth due to other cards.

Her card seemed to be straightforward enough about what had happened to her that Kasumi wasn’t bothered. It even had a silhouette of a woman’s hips and thighs, arrows spreading out from her hips sides then going down her thighs to illustrate the special feature of the card.

Shanpu seemed surprised by her change, although it wasn’t noticeable until she put her hands on her waist. Her normally tight clothes sunk inwards, baggy around her now tiny waist. Kasumi wasn’t sure, but it seemed like her ribcage and shoulders might have shrank a bit as well, making everything above her hips a bit more petite. Shanpu didn’t seem to know what to think of her change other than being troubled by just how much her waist had shrunk. Her waist was probably less than six inches thick now.

Ukyou’s changes were more obvious as her breasts ballooned free of her chest bindings and kimono top. The blushing girl readjusted her kimono top to modestly cover them, but it looked like she had a pair of large oranges stuffed in there now.

Whatever change might have happened to Kodachi, it didn’t seem to have bothered the wealthy gymnast girl. She seemed quite pleased with her card judging by her expression, although she seemed more bemused by the other girl’s reactions to their transformations.

Akane was blushing and feeling her butt, so Kasumi could only hazard to guess she had experienced some sort of transformation there, something her card had revealed as a possibility.

Ranma was less subtle with his curiosity. “So what did you get Akane?”

The youngest Tendo merely grumbled and glared at him.

Pulling his own open rule booklet up for reference, Ranma did the math out loud for her benefit. “Since each of you have to draw over twelve cards, you’ve got good odds of drawing a three that’ll turn you into guys or something. Maybe you could use those wildcards to deal with those cards, but like Nabiki said, it’s better if I play so we can trade.”

Letting that hang in the air for a moment, Ranma continued. “So if you want me to join the game, then do some show and tell about what you got.”

Wanting to help, Kasumi warmly spoke up to encourage her little sister. “I drew the ten of diamonds. It made me four inches taller and if I receive any cards that expand my hips, that will also make my legs longer.”

Kodachi happily spoke up next. “I drew the seven of hearts, Lionheart, a card which says it improves my endurance and energy levels.”

The three remaining girls didn’t seem so eager to speak up, so Ranma prodded them along. “Shanpu? Can you show me what it did?”

The girls were pleasantly surprised by the gentle concern in Ranma’s voice, although some were upset it was directed at Shanpu.

Emboldened, Shanpu got up and crawled over to Ranma, sitting before him and handing him her card. Lifting up her blouse, she revealed that her waist pinched sharply inwards as if she’d been corset trained. “Shanpu not read good what card say do to Shanpu.”

Nodding, Ranma glanced down and read the card, it being a rather straightforward card. “Eight of spades, Hourglass, shrinks the waist and ribcage to a more shapely figure. Reduces waist measurement by eight inches.”

The violet haired girl looked at him with understandable concern. “It make Shanpu look strange?”

Ranma smiled a little for her. “It’s not bad, but you might want to trade if you get any more eights. Much more and it probably would look strange.”

Motioning to his right side, Ranma had Shanpu sit beside him so he was between her and Kasumi. “Sit by me and I’ll help you out with your cards.”

As Ranma and everyone else turned their gaze to her, Ukyou hesitantly spoke up. “Six of Clubs, it, uhm, made my breasts six cup sizes bigger and, well, bouncy and firm.”

The last to go, Akane flushed and relented under the pressure as everyone looked at her. “It made my hips and butt bigger, okay? Also it said I’d strut and sway my hips when I walk.”

Ranma lit up in comprehension, rapidly coming to a conclusion. “Ah, then can you and Ucchan trade cards?”

Akane objected immediately to the idea, assuming there was some perverse reason. “Why should I?”

Ranma stared at her for a bit before sighing and deciding not to explain that she might like bigger breasts and that he wanted to see a trade work. Instead he concentrated on seeing if a trade would work. “Kasumi-san, could you trade cards with Shanpu?”

Kasumi glanced over at Shanpu and her card, considering the request. She was a little pudgy around the waist, so perhaps it would be nice. “Shall we trade Shanpu-chan?”

Shanpu considered the trade as well. “Card make Shanpu taller?”

Kasumi smiled and nodded.

Smiling and nodding as well, Shanpu traded cards with her.

Lined up as they were, the three had been arranged from tallest at Kasumi to shortest at Shanpu. After trading cards, Kasumi lost her four inches of extra height while Shanpu gained it, making them both equal to Ranma in height.

Kasumi found her own change very interesting. She lost the bit of pudge she had at her belly as her waist trimmed down a lot, making her hips seem broader in comparison. It was the shrinking of her ribcage that surprised her as she lost four inches off of her chest size, but her breasts remained the same size. Since her breasts were attached to a more narrow ribcage, they had to stick out further, leaving her somewhat uncomfortably wearing a 36C bra when she now needed a 32E. Her breasts still fit well in the cups, but the bra band was completely loose around the ribcage, so she didn’t really need to adjust her clothing.

Ranma glanced between them. “No problems?”

Shanpu nodded happily, quite pleased by her new height compared to the tiny waist that had struck her as so strange.

Kasumi nodded pleasantly as well, ignoring the fit of her bra. “My clothes don’t quite fit right, but it seems pleasant enough.”

Ranma nodded and glanced at the draw clock. They still had about twenty minutes in the current round. “Don’t draw any more cards just yet, okay?”

Getting murmurs of agreement from the girls, Ranma used the spare time in the round to read through the rulebook himself. He was used to doing challenges with strange rules, plus he didn’t trust Nabiki to explain the rules for a game like this.

“Alright then, I’m joining to help you girls out.”

Satisfied with his decision, Ranma drew his card from the deck, holding it face down and glancing at it. His draw added five more minutes to the draw count, bringing it back up to about twelve minutes.
