Kahmori watches in silent glee as the contestants each make their way out onto their respective platforms, choose a pathway, and begins to ease their way tenatively across. Oooohhhh, this could prove to be amusing "Remember, contestants....the first one to fall is the first one to get eaten!! I do so hope you are feeling lucky....25% chance of getting eaten. 75% chance of making it across. Lets see who really is the lucky one..."<br/><br/>Arianna turns out to be not so lucky. The second she pulls the little chain, the ball comes loose in her hands, signalling what could have been a win. Yet, scarcely more than a second later, the bridge beneath her suddenly collapses, and she falls backwards, right into the pit of spikes. What could have turned out to be a VERY nasty ending to her career as a gameshow contestant actually results in little more than a bruise. She hits the largest spike head-on...and simply bounces off of it, rolling back and forth between a handful of them before - finally - she hits the ground between a pair of them. It had hurt, that was for certain, and would likely leave a nasty-looking bruise on her ribs...but, being the first one to fall, that was LIKELY the last thing she had to be worried about right now.<br/><br/>Kahmori practically dances in delight, his tails flitting too and fro in the air behind him. Practically ramming the mic up to his mouth, he yells excitedly "Oooohhh, first contestant down!! Guess who is on the menu, folks?! The lady here!!" He points upwards at the overhead screen, which was featuring a big picture of Arianna. "Now, we just have to wait and see who ends up being the lucky one that gets to down her. Unless, of course, someone else happens to take a fall...in which case, we'd have to have a tie-breaker! Wouldn't that be exciting?" He returns his attention to the contestants, watching them eagerly.<br/><br/>Cryptor eases his way across the bridge he had chosen, reaches the little chain in the middle...and pulls it. The ball comes loose, much like before....and, with a heavy creak, the fourth pathway breaks and collapses. Cryptor is able to breathe a sigh of relief!! With ball in hand, he is free to continue his way across the bridge.<br/><br/>Wacko is the third one to reach the little ball-and-chain in the middle. The audience screams excitedly, eventually breaking down into an eager chant "Oooohhh!!" Kahmori calls happily "A charismatic contestant!! I do so love that!! Yet, for all that Charisma....does he have luck to go with it?" Apparantly not, as - with that sudden jerk of the chain, the ball comes loose in Wacko's hand. Yet, he had been prepared. Lifting his feet up by using the chain, the collapsing bridge does not send him plummeting down into the pit of rubber spikes...but does leave him hanging precariously above them, a ten-foot-jump on either side being all that would get him to safety "Smart, too. Yet, for all those brains, how is he going to get out of this situation, folks? That chain only swings so far, and he has to keep ahold of the ball, too! Dropping it, or falling into the pit...well, that signals a loss!! Lets see what he does, hmm?!"<br/><br/>Max eases his way across the narrow walkway, grabs the chain, and pulls. The ball almost instantly comes free in his hands - and at that exact same moment, the bridgeway marked 'one' for him collapses and falls into the pit. He was safe for the time being!!
