The Dazzlings Play Jumanji

Strange. Sonata should've been home by now. Granted, the blue bimbo has a hard time remembering how to CHEW, so something like an address would DEFINITELY confuse her.

Soon enough, the taco lover came bounding through the door and held something strange under an arm.

It was a beat-up board game. It looked like it was made of stone and wood.

"Sonata, what is THAT?" Aria asked.

"Hmm? Oh! It's a board game I found in an alley behind the taco place. It's called Jumanji. Wanna play?!" She asked eagerly.

"I would rather stick my hand in a blender." Aria said dryly.

"Fine. I won't leave you alone until you agree to play." Sonata said.

"If I'm suffering through this, so is Adagio." Aria said with a heavy sigh.

"Yay!" Sonata cheered.

"Dagi! Get down here! Sonata got food!" Aria yelled.

Adagio descended the stairs of their two-story house and saw her two annoying compatriots.

"Aria, why did you do that? I told you to only call me down here when Sonata is useful." Dagi said.

"Hey, if I'M gonna be in pain, so are YOU." Aria said.

"Whatever." Dagi said with a roll of her lovely magenta eyes.

Sonata opened the board via the two hinges on the side and beheld the game board. White squares all lead from four circles to a bigger circle in the middle which was reflective and a dark green. The pendants of the Sirens glowed red as they looked at the board.

"Sonata...you may have actually done something right! This thing is full of magic!" Adagio said happily.

"Wow!" The blue Siren said in a childlike voice.

Aria found four pawns. A rhino, an elephant, a lion, and a monkey. She also found two six-sided die.

The pawns instantly snapped to their respective spots, unsettling the Sirens.

"On second thought, Sonata, you're every bit an idiot." Adagio said through gritted teeth.

"Well, we came this far. Might as well go for the whole thing." Aria said with a shrug.

Adagio decided to go first, Aria was second, leaving Sonata for last.

Dagi cast the die and got a six. Before she could move her piece, it moved of its accord.

When it reached the end of its journey, green mist swirled in the middle circle. It formed a rhyme.

"They grow much faster than bamboo. Take care or they'll come after you." Dagi read.

"Wow. Thrilling." Aria said snidely.

Pieces of plaster sprinkled on them and the trio saw roots and vines growing from the ceiling.

"What the hell?" Aria asked.

"Those are vines." Dagi said, mouth agape.

"Talk about lifelike." Sonata mused.

Adagio promptly walked away from the game and back up.

"Adagio! Wait!" Aria yelled.

A thick vine stopped the orange-haired Siren's progress and startled her.

"We can't stop playing the game until one of us wins. Says so on the inside of the hinges. You win by getting to the middle and calling out the game's name." Aria explained once their leader came back.

"Joy of joys." Dagi groaned.
