Austin laughed along with Jonathan. Most of his friends had a hard time keeping a straight face around him. Austin loved to joke around. The better he knew a person, the more he did it.<br/><br/>"I don't doubt that one, asshole."<br/><br/>Austin replied good naturally. He only called Jon an 'asshole' since he had called him a "son of a bitch". All's fair in name calling between friends.<br/><br/>Karen sighed as she listened to her friends. Obviously the guys wanted to do this. It just seemed like a horrible idea. Ouija boards opened doors, doors for both good and bad spirits. The bad spirits are what scared her. But she knew her boyfriend, there would be no talking him out of it. She said a silent prayer to herself. While she didn't go to church anymore, she had been raised a Christian. And she had been taught to not mess with things you didn't understand.<br/><br/>'Lord protect us.'<br/><br/>Karen thought to herself. She took a hold of friends hands and Austin nodded his head to Megan as he did the same.<br/><br/>"No worries, Meg. I'll be super serious. So serious, you'll think someone switched out my brain with a chess nerd's."<br/><br/>Karen gave Austin an annoyed look. He squeezed her hand and told her with a grin.<br/><br/>"Chill out, babe. This will be fun."<br/><br/>"Hopefully."<br/><br/>Karen replied, not feeling as confident as him. She and Austin said the Lord's Prayer with Meg and Jon. When Megan said she'd have nothing to do with the planchette, Austin replied.<br/><br/>"I'll do it."<br/><br/>There was no doubt in his mind that he'd do it. He really wanted to talk to a spirit.<br/><br/>"But, I need someone else too. You're not supposed to do it by yourself."<br/><br/>At least that's what his research of online and television shows had told him. Austin looked over at Karen and Jonathan, one of them would have to hold it with him. Karen bit her lip and hoped Jon would say yes. If not, then she'd do it. But she really did not want to.
