So after the last incident, I began to worry that this curse would do more mental harm to me than social; not only would I be on edge in fear of getting "ambushed" by the curse, I doubt it's healthy to be on the receiving end of intense forced humiliation so frequently, even if I did enjoy it and even if it was essentially consequence free, as such I began to take note of the way it kept manifesting, and I may have pushed my luck a little.
First, the good news, the curse didn't seem to interfere with my normal sex life, I could still have sex with Gary normally and even walk around my apartment naked (my favorite method of excercising my exhibitionist fantasies prior to the curse) without it turning into a parade of public exposure.
Another thing is that the curse didn't take every possible opportunity to strike, there were many situations that I, personally, thought might make for a spicy scenario, such as going to do the laundry and having to wash the clothes I was wearing or something like that, I've read many stories like that, but so far, all laundry days passed by rather mundanely.
And as the previous point implied, this curse didn't stick to a schedule, there was no specific day when the curse struck, nor does a specific amount of time need to pass between incidents, I've had incidents happening on back to back days, and other times they were weeks apart; I believe the only day it has yet to strike for me is Sunday, though I doubt it's skipping that day to go to church (stripped at church, another scenario I've thought of when I broke this schedule down).
And from there I could surmise that it didn't have anything to do with my expectations or anticipations, I thought of the laundry idea early on, but as the following story will show, the curse can begin acting even before I think of an idea, causality is not a factor here.
On many occasions, Gary would often invite me to go out drinking with him, but I was always too busy or too tired to do so, I didn't really mind him going, so I always sent him off to hang out with his guy friends.
This time, I was feeling pretty energetic and in need of a change of pace, so I took him up on his offer, the bar was fairly clean and well lit, there seemed to be plenty of couples there as well as single people, but I noticed a lot of people knew Gary there, I guess he was pretty popular.
We hung out for a while, getting drinks and introducing myself to Gary's friends; they were very welcoming, asking how a schlub like Gary could get a knockout like me. I was pretty flattered at the compliments, and I hit it off with them.
I noticed a pool table in the corner and asked if Gary wanted to play with me, he declined, saying he's not that good at it.
That's when I got a "brilliant" idea; the curse can make it so that I get stripped, and essentially spike and set off scenarios I have set up, but can I strip other people the way they did to me?
Last time it was pretty definitive that the curse would bend the laws of probability to get me naked, but that was a game of pure chance, If I go around challenging people to strip games based on skill, would they end up naked, and if so, would it also get swept under the rug the way my incidents do?
It didn't hurt that Gary had humiliated me time after time in front of everyone I know, so this was my chance to get back at him where people are familiar with him, there was a good chunk of women here as well, so I figured I could even let them cop a few feels of his naked body and get a couple of pictures of him naked, provided my experiment worked out, of course.
And so I was set, I began teasing Gary and calling him chicken, I could tell Gary was getting irritated, so I pushed him further:
"Okay, how about the loser gets on the pool table and strips naked in front of everyone." Gary's friends were hollering and laughing, egging him on and joking how he'd end up flopping in the breeze, and he tried to ask me not to do this, but I was intent on playing my idea out.
"Go for it Sarah, Gary can't sink a ball to save his life." one of Gary's friends poked fun at him, and I could see him squirm.
"Not enough? How about the loser gives everyone here free access to play with their body?" More cheers and whoops from Gary's friends, and I think here Gary had enough, he accepted the wager and we began playing.
I broke and sank one of the balls with my first shot, neither of us sunk anything in the first few turns, but I could tell my shots came closer to sinking the balls, I thought that meant that I could still do things like this without the curse turning it into another incident, so I got even more cocky and raised the stakes, I told Gary that not only will the loser strip naked on the pool table, but they would also have to masturbate to orgasm on it, at this point everyone in the bar, who were watching us play, gave a loud cheer wondering how this would play out.
As I was in the lead, I was completely unaware I had dug my own grave here.
Gary agreed and took his shot. That shot was better than any shot either of us made that day, finally sinking a ball of his own, he still missed the next shot and let me take my turn, but I wasn't doing any better than before, I'd instantly fail to sink a ball and and that continued for a bit, and then Gary sunk another ball, I was beginning to get nervous, we kept trading until finally during one of my turns, I flubbed my shot, the cue ricocheted so badly it had slammed into the eight ball, and I watched in what seemed like slow motion the eight ball roll and sink into one of the meaning I had lost on the spot!
