In the dark room lit only by the flickering screen of his gaming console, John sat mesmerized by the images of the pixelated elf princess being ravaged by a fat dragon. He heard a soft knock on the door and quickly muted the game before calling out, "Come in."
The door opened to reveal his best friend's younger sister, Allison. She wore a tight, form-fitting dress that hugged every curve of her body and a pair of thigh-high high-heeled boots that made her already impressive height even more intimidating. Her long, curly hair was pulled back in a messy ponytail, revealing her pointed ears - she'd clearly dressed up as the character from his game.
"Hey John," she said, her voice sounding slightly breathless. "I need to borrow... something."
He got up from the table and walked towards the exit, something brewing in his mind.
