EVENT - THE MILGRAM EXPERIMENT

[avibusraris]

Come one, come all! This wonderful test of brain power and courage is about to commence! What is it exactly, you ask? Well then, don't worry your little head about that one bit! The birdie here will explain it all to you.

The rules are very simple. There is a shocker and a shockee, following so far? The inmates will both be lead into different rooms. There is a glass wall that separates them, and of course a glass wall for the audience to be able to see and watch everything! Now then, the shocker will be provided with questions thanks to a digital screen. The screen itself is integrated into the table they will be seated at, as well as a button, and questions will begin to appear once the game begins. The questions start out easy then start to get harder, and if the shocker tries to tell the shockee any answers, then they will receive the electricity instead, seeing as how they are strapped down to an electric chair as well.

Sounds pretty fun so far! Either way, each pair has four questions to get through. For each question answered correctly, they will gain CP. If the shockee is unable to answer a question, or answers wrong, then it's up to the shocker to provide the pain and then they get the CP. See it's a good game where everyone is rewarded! The shockee cannot die on the first two questions, if they are to answer it wrong (or if the shocker gets the electricity instead) but they can die on the third question, and they will die on the last question if they are shocked. Now then, off to the CP count.

First = 30,000 CP
Second = 40,000 CP
Third = 50,000 CP
Fourth = 80,000 CP

Oh, and there are no extra rewards for dying in this event. The CP gained from questions and shocking will be the only CP awarded. So, comment in the proper spot with your muses entering, and then the shockers will be getting PM's with the questions!

Let it begin!

He straightened himself in the chair as well as he could manage, carefully studying her movements. How much fun she seemed to be having was quite the contrast to how she had acted only days ago.

"I've not a clue in the world." He conceded with a grin. Even if it was going to hurt, he didn't want to award her the prize of seeing him squirm excessively. "A harp, perhaps?"

"Welcome to the modern age, darling," Anastasia all but cooed as she pressed down on the button again.

Loki was someone that she had considered herself friendly with. It wasn't as though she didn't still consider her appreciation of him to be something valuable, but given circumstances, true value was something dangerous in a place like this. True value got people killed, which meant that the only way to keep it safe was, as it always had been, to make it look worthless. If that came hand-in-hand with tormenting a friend, then so be it. Especially if that friend was a snide little snake and made it just a little more fun than Anastasia knew it should have been.

After the first shock, the second one was more painful than it would have been otherwise. This time the pain showed on his face, but he was obviously struggling to keep himself under control. He was aware that he was going to lose the game, but Loki wasn't ready to give in and let the Queen relish in her victory born of advantage just yet.

"I'm glad one of us is having a good time." His voice sounded weaker than it usually did, but he'd have to be dead before he ceased making snide remarks.

[impureheart]

"Not having fun, Loki? I'm insulted."

She obviously wasn't insulted.

"If a telephone company added one more digit to all of the phone numbers in a single area code, how many new phone numbers could potentially be added?"

[vaframenti]

"More fun than I'd be having with anyone else, I suppose." At the question he just shook his head and laughed bitterly.

"That's an awfully shameless question. It's as if our dear Warden isn't even trying to hide that she wants us dead anymore." He shrugged dismissively. He didn't know something like that off the top of his head, and he wasn't going to bother trying to work it out when it was futile to do so anyway. "Five billion."

[impureheart]

"Her game has always been easy to read, it's a shame you haven't figured it out yet. Though you are rather impressively ensuring I get plenty of CP."

She presses the button again, not even bothering to tell him the correct answer this time. At least he actually got it wrong this time.

[vaframenti]

Loki wanted to laugh. He really, really did. He was sure his sarcasm hadn't been lost on her -- she just wanted to have the final word in the first battle of quips they'd had since her resurgence as the Red Queen. In a twisted way, he understood that sort of mentality. He would have wanted the same in her position, yet it was still somehow funny to him regardless. Maybe because in the face of what he knew was coming, the only defense he had was to take it all as a giant joke.

He never got the chance to actually laugh before the electricity rushed through him again, the intensity of it more fierce than the two times before. He could feel his body beginning to lose its grasp on proper function, his heart racing and his muscles spasming uncontrollably. The ringing in his ears grew louder and more painful, and finally he let out a helpless series of screams.

As it turned out, the current was more than fierce; it was also fatal.

[impureheart]

"Goodbye, darling."

Her tone was a little off from the sadistic pleasure she normally would have gotten out of this, just a little deeper, but it was only barely noticeable. As she watched the screams and the life slip out of him, she wore a smile like armor. Loki wasn't someone who was deep within her heart, but she had some appreciation of him. But she couldn't be the White Queen anymore. Not without Will. So she would be the Red Queen, as it was all she had left. And she would watch him fry.
