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!

John would have smiled at her antics had it not dawned on him that he didn't know the answer. He wasn't even sure of what to guess. It clearly had to be a genetic predisposition, but he was no expert on cats even if he was fond of them. Perhaps it was something to do with the five senses? Eye color had been mentioned specifically, so maybe...

He began tapping on the chair again, nerves getting the best of him. Putting Rika in this kind of position was something he desperately wanted to avoid, but he knew she was strong. The real question was if he was strong enough to endure the inevitable shock.

"Is it blindness?" He hesitated. "Please don't feel bad if it's wrong. I don't mind a little shock or two."

Rika was sure that he would get this right, but alas that was putting too much pressure on the other. "Mii. That's wrong. Looks like I have to press the button now." She'll say with a sad smile before pressing the button.

"It was actually deafness."

Okay, it turned out that he did mind the shock. For Rika's sake he held back the screams, but the pained expression on his face and the way his body violently reacted to the shock it was impossible for him to deny that it was nearly more than he could take.

"Well, that could have been worse." He exhaled sharply, somehow managing to give Rika wink of assurance despite everything. He had to stay in control. "Where were we? Question three?"

That looked pretty painful, she didn't want to look, but at the same time she felt she had to. To be stronger, perhaps?

Rika gave a sigh of relief, seeing John withstanding the shock. "If you say so, here's the next question. In the 16th century, Monks recorded seeing a giant explosion on the side of the moon. This left a crater that is attributed today to what?"

Space! That was not only something he knew about, but was quite confident of the answer. It wasn't a particularly difficult question, but he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

"A meteor, correct?" He answered hopefully.

He prayed there wouldn't be some type of technicality to it, because if there was he was as good as dead.

"...Mii. You're correct, but the answer card says 'large meteor'." The young girl was confused. Should she let this slide or should she press the button again? He did answer it correctly, but there was a technicality to question. "What should I do?"

John opened his mouth as if to protest, but quickly shut it again. It wasn't going to do him any favors. Knowing the place they were in, there was no doubt a small hangup like that was all it would take for failure, and there was no way he was going to take the chance of Rika being hurt for not doing what she was supposed to. If the shocks got worse as they went on, there was no way a small girl like her could survive anything above what he had already experienced.

So, it was time to die again.

"Push it." He replied, doing what he could to keep the hope he had before from leaking from his voice. "I'm stronger than I look, you know. At the end of the day I'll be just fine."

He put on a smile for her sake. His words were true in a way... even if he hadn't mentioned the fact that he'd have to die before moving on to that 'just fine' part.

"I..."

Rika couldn't say anymore, no words she could say would make him go back on his word. True to his word, he was showing her how brave he could be and that just makes her heart hurt.

Next time for sure, she'll protect him.

"Mii. I'll see you later then, John. Let's have a play date again."

The girl presses the button, watching with tears as her friend dies an electrifying death.
