Kasumi rolled the die and moved her piece. She turned to Akane and announced "Arts and culture!"
Akane drew the card, and asked Kasumi, "Who starred in the movies 'Casablanca' and 'The Big Sleep'?"
Kasumi smiled and answered "Humphrey Bogart! Was I right?"
"Yes." Akane placed the card in the discard pile, and passed the box of questions to Kasumi while Nabiki rolled the die.
Drawing a card, Kasumi asked Nabiki, "What are trees with needles instead of leaves called?"
"Evergreens, or coniferous!" Without bothering to ask for confirmation, Nabiki passed the die to Ranma, and received the box of questions from Kasumi.
Ranma rolled and moved his piece. "Science and Nature."
"What bird is known for laying its eggs in the nests of other birds?"
"Cuckoos."
To Ranma's surprise, Nabiki announced, "I'm sorry, that's wrong." Ranma's shirt suddenly vanished. When Ranma wasn't looking at her, Nabiki winked at Akane.
"I was so sure I was right!" Ranma didn't pay attention as Nabiki slipped her card into the middle of the discard puzzle.
Now it was Akane's turn. She moved her piece, grateful to land on a subject she felt she could handle. "Science and Nature."
"How many protons does a hydrogen atom have?"
"Two."
"Nope, one."
Akane's shirt vanished. Thankfully she wore a demure bra. "Let me see that card!" Snatching it from Ranma, she read the answer. Sure enough she was wrong.
"You were thinking of Helium." Kasumi tried to keep the game friendly by suggesting, "From now on, let's show the card when passing the cards to the next player."
Nabiki was annoyed, but refused to show it openly. She could have stripped Ranma nude if Akane hadn't screwed up and complained, or if Kasumi hadn't pushed for fairness.
Kasumi rolled the die, and moved her piece.
"Spell 'Paranoia.'"
"P - A - R - A - N - O - I - A."
"Right."
Now it was Nabiki's move.
In what year was the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?"
"1945!" With that risk disposed of, she passed Ranma the die and went back to staring at his chest.
Ranma rolled, "Art and Culture."
"Who painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel?"
"Leonardo da Vinci?"
"Correct." Nabiki grumpily replied.
After Akane Rolled, Ranma asked "When did the black plague begin?"
"I don't know." Suddenly Akane's skirt vanished.
She had been terrified that her bra would have been the next item to go. She only agreed to the game because females had four items of clothing while Ranma had only three, and missing one question would leave Ranma topless while she and her sisters could still be wearing as much as if they were wearing a bikini after missing 2 questions.
Now that her panties were visible, she moved her arms from covering her chest to make sure at least one of her hands would be concealing her panties at all times.
She asked her older sister, "Who composed the music, 'A Rhapsody in Blue?'" while thinking to herself, "Why couldn't I have been asked that?"
"George Gershwin?"
"Right."
"Nabiki, who wrote 'Macbeth?'"
"Shakespeare! William Shakespeare!"
"Yes."
Finally it was Ranma's turn. Nabiki's face fell when she read, "Who wrote 'The Art of War?'"
"Sun Tzu?"
"Correct." Nabiki reluctantly added.
A sense of dread hit Akane as Ranma read to her, "In Herman Melville's 'Moby Dick' the white whale is an allegory for Jesus Christ. Discuss."
"That can't be a question!" she snatched the card away from Ranma and read it, shocked to see the very words Ranma asked. Suddenly her breasts were neither supported nor obscured.
Ranma's gaze was fascinated not only by the sight of her nipples hardened in the cold air but also by the way her blush had traveled down her neck and halfway to those nipples. His own blush was pronounced, but not quite so strong.
Without considering the consequences, Akane allowed another Round to begin by asking Kasumi, "Where was Napoleon finally defeated?"
"Waterloo, I think."
"Nabiki, what large ursine mammal is known for its black and white colorings?"
"Panda!"
"In what country were the Olympics first held?"
"Greece. Was that right?"
"Yes."
"Akane, What part of Michael Angelo’s statue, David, is oversized?"
"Shit!" Akane had had both of her hands in her lap to hide her panties from Ranma, so when her underwear vanished, it left her posed as a very tastefully planned nude. Unfortunately this meant she daren't move lest she flash her privates.
