"Hey Johnnie?" Jake called as he knocked on the door softly. Before he opened it. "Wanna play a creepy game with me?" He asked, clearly bored and wanting to do something.

Johnnie looked up from his phone at the sound of Jake knocking. He had been scrolling through Tiktok, and the interruption was welcome.

He chuckled at Jake's question.

"Sure, why not? But if it's too scary, you're the one who's gonna end up screaming like a little girl."He joked, setting his phone aside.

"Not me!" Jake scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Whatever, just come follow me, we're gonna play it in the living room"

Johnnie raised an eyebrow at Jake's denial but followed him into the living room, a smirk on his face.

He was skeptical that Jake wouldn't get scared, but he was excited to see how it would unfold."Alright, lead the way, oh brave one."

"Shut the fuck up" Jake hissed at Johnnie with a laugh as they walked down the hallway and downstairs.

Johnnie chuckled at Jake's response, enjoying the banter between them.

"Oh, come on. You know you secretly love it when I tease you."He replied with a playful grin, continuing to follow Jake into the living room.

Jake rolled his eyes and sits on the floor. He takes out his phone and began to read fhe instructions; "We're going to play the picture game. Its a game that requires, a string to tie a circle, an actual camera, not phone - mirrors per person and scissors or a knife, a drinking glass with alcohol inside."

Johnnie sat down next to Jake on the floor, looking over his shoulder at the instructions.

"Alright, so we need a string, a camera, mirrors, alcohol, and a glass. Seems easy enough."He leaned back, looking up at the ceiling.

"And a quiet room but obviously we live alone together so we already got that, um, how to play-" Jake scrolled on his phone, "ok, so we must close our eyes and say "i trust you" not at the same time, and then we say in unison 'the door is open please come in', and then open our eyes"

Johnnie chuckled again at the rules of the game."Sounds simple enough, I trust you to do your part."He teased again, looking over at Jake with a smirk.

He was clearly excited for this game, enjoying the anticipation of what was to come.

Jake rolled his eyes, "and then sit in the circle, have one person holding the mirror the only with the camera and you take a photo and say 'i caught you' then you switch and take turns doing that. Every three pictures. The camera should go around three times. Once we are done, put the mirror upside down, cut the rope, turn on the lights, empty the alcohol cup and then look at your pictures. Easy enough."

Johnnie nodded, committing the rules to memory. He chuckled at the thought of how ridiculous they were going to look.

"Sounds like a blast. Can't wait to see what spooky spirits we'll catch on camera."
He said sarcastically, already imagining the silly pictures they'd take.

Jake laughed, "Ok lets go grab the stuff. I have my pocket knife. We need a rope, I'll go get the camera in my room, and you get the alcohol and a handheld mirror."

Johnnie got up from the floor, stretching his arms above his head.

"Alright, sounds like a plan. I'll go grab the booze and a mirror from the bathroom."
He headed off to the bathroom to find a mirror while Jake went to grab the camera from his room.
