Once the college bells ring and the couple are outside, they think about what to do next.
"Want to try some tennis?" Lynn asks.
"That...actually sounds like fun," Kirk agrees.
The two then walk around Istvan for a tennis court or something similar. Syle told them yesterday that he would not require their services for two days, so they decided to use that time to unwind.
"Oh, of course I'm fine..." Anastasia said, replacing everything but her ten.
"I've been working, I met up with Vi, and I got a good night's sleep." Lauren says.
"This place is having a arousing on us, I would know because I know myself well enough that this isn't at all normal. I don't appreciate trying to be manipulated. Maybe even some of us even decided to purposely throw the game a bit." Markus awnsered, looking a bit distressed. "I hate this place. I get home from a long trip, hoping to spend some time relaxing and now I'm here playing this stupid game..." He had a more depressed face which was a first for Fil and Julia. Seems like whatever effect was taking place was just distressing Markus more and more. He'd remove his 6♠, Q♣ and 3♠.
MEANWHILE
Kirk and Lynn would happen upon one that was for public use near the park.
MEANWHILE
"That sounds nice and simple." Marry said with a nod.
"Um... Is that Fire Salamander your, by the way?" Joto said, pointing out the pet Fire Salamander that rested on Lauren's shoulder.
"I also wouldn't breathe in too deeply-they may look human but they were once Matango and still are by technicality, breathing in the spores they produce will badly mess with your psyche if you're human as for other monsters it could potentially excite them to the point of assaulting the nearest male..." vanitas deduced
"It would appear the air is indeed affecting mental faculties." Julia stated as she stood upand opened her arm and grabbed what appeared to be masks before slapping them on Anastasia and Markus. "I only have two filtration masks. And I must go into reserve mode to focus on this so I will be out of the game. Best of luck." Julia spoke as she went on standby and went as still as a statue. Of course the Hatters simply replaced their cards, the Red one replacing the 8 and 3
Julia eliminated from the game
Markus: 6♠ 10♥ 5♦ 2♣ 9♠
Anastasia: 10♦ 10♥ 8♥ 3♣ K♦
Red Hatter: 6♦ J♦ 6♣ 7♣ 6♠
Markus would lose the hand, then the next round Fil lost another...And another followed by Anastasia. Finally the Blue hatter lost her hand again. Both Fil and the Blue hatter were now naked. Fil looking flushed as her focus was darting over the bodies of people this time while the two hatters seemed unfazed by everything going on.
Anastasia lost her shirt and her other sock, leaving her with just her bra, her pants, and her panties. Due to the mask, and was no longer staring at the Blue Hatter and was focusing on the game now.
"Yeah, it is." Lauren confirmed.
Markus was now down to just his pants and underwear. H'ed then notice that everyone was still playing. "Pause. We agreed at the beginning of this that if any one of you were stripped down to nothing that we win."
MEANWHILE
"I see... Is it safe to bring indoors?" Joto further asked.
"Oh? Did we also not say you can still play for one more chance even when stripped. One would have to pleasure themself remember? And I do not mind continuing even if I have to do so." The Blue hatter spoke as Fil was basically not even focused anymore.
"She's right, that was a clause that was added." Anastasia says, shrugging.
"Probably? It isn't hot, just warm, and I have my eye on it regardless." Lauren says.

The couple approach the court, but do not enter it in case it is currently in use. They also look around for any tennis racquets or tennis balls that are for public use.
