And now, it's time to play....
A studio announcer's voice cut through the crowd. "And now, it's time to play the Mojoverse's new favorite game show.... DATE OR DEATH! Where we try to match up one fabulous lady with one of our lucky contestants! The winner gains her heart, the losers gain a one-way ticket to the afterlife! And now, let's give a very special Mojoverse welcome to our host... The Host!"

The studio lights came on, revealing the studio audience and the partitioned stage. The Host appeared in a puff of smoke. "Thank-you, thank-you. We're so glad you could be apart of our very first episode of Date or Death!. We're got a swell show for you and we just know you're going to love it! First, let's meet our lucky lady!"

He snapped his fingers and Rachel appeared in the chair next to his desk, restrained. The announcer cut in again. "Our lucky lady is Rachel Summers, a native of the Earth dimension and baby Phoneix! She enjoys piloting planes, bad romance novels, and is currently grappling with the attentions of not one, not two, not even three, but four lucky bachelors! Let's meet our contestants!"

The four guys, with each of them restrained except for Sweepzweek, appeared in the chairs on the other side of the partition, visible to the audience, but not to Rachel.

"Bachelor number one is our very own Sweepzweek! The bad boy of the Mojoforce, teenage heartthrob, and hero of a thousand roles, he's hoping to win the hand of the lovely lady and make her a star of stage and screeeeeen!

"Bachelor number two is David Roberts, another native of the Earth dimension. He may look like a nice guy, but he's a real Wolverine underneath it all! But don't get this boy wrong, he's just at home in the garage as he is hiking through the woods. Of course, his father always told him redheads were bad news, but will he listennnnn?

"Bachelor number three is Starbridge Nermani, a prince of the Shi'ar Empire and the only boy here who's guaranteed to leave feathers, not hair, in the shower drain! He's a self-admitted intellectual and noble sort, and claims to love our redhead for her mind... but what will he do when Moooom finds out?

"Bachelor number four is Torn Ear, a cat-person from a hidden society of catpeople who fell in love with Rachel at first smell! When he's not struggling to master the English language, he's busy leaving dead birds on your windowsill! He enjoys sitting in the sun and having his belly rubbbbed!

And now, back to you, Host!"

The Host waved thanks to the unseen announcer. "Thanks, Bob! Now, for those of you who don't know how the game is played--which is everyone, because this is the first episode of our show--here's how it goes. We're preselected questions for our lovely lady to ask the Bachelors. She asks, they answer, and she picks who has the best answer. Whoever she picks advances to the next round free. The others have to face a threat to life and limb! Anyone who survives gets to go on to the next round. Anyone who doesn't will be made into Soylent Dog Food. Soylent Dog Food, for when your dog is hungry enough to take a bite out of you! In stores now!"

	"All right, now that we've met our contestants, let's get on with the show!" The Host said, grinning a thousand watt smile. There was even a little tink. "If our lovely lady would be so kind as to read the first question?" He held a notecard in front of Rachel. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Now, now, Rachel. You've got to. Wouldn't want anything to happen to those boys of yours, would you? After you came all this way?" The restraints around Rachel began to tighten. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rachel didn't see anyway out of this, at least, not yet. Bide her time... think, plan. Just like Dad taught her. "Okay guys... guess we gotta play for now..." She read the card. "I am not asking.... sigh All right, guys. "If I were an ice cream cone, how would you eat me?'" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sharra's bloody claws, he would see someone die for this. Starbridge sighed. "Thoroughly but with great attention to hygiene," he says quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Start with long, slow licks... lots of gentle nibbles. Definitely have to take your time with such high quality. Strawberry too, my favorite." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It burns at his stomach, but Torn Ear manages to push his feral rage down. If Rachel is going to play along for now, he's not going to risk upsetting the situation and endangering her. He hears the question, then tilts his head. His ears perk up as he comes up with. "I would make sure I could share you with a friend, so you'd be extra well taken care of."

	"One bite at a time," David says gruffly. There is color coming to his face as this is embarrassing. "Slow small ones, with plenty of time to lick my spoon." He rolls his shoulders slowly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks for your answers, boys," the Host grinned. "Now, Rachel, here comes the time when you tell us who you think had the best answer. And remember, whoever you select moves on to the next round, free. The rest have to fight for their space." He looked to the camera. "So who's it gonna be?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, this was... bad. The only thing Rachel knew for certain (other than the fact that she was totally in denial over not having any interest in the answers), was that she wasn't going to pick Mojo's crony. Maybe she'd get lucky and he'd get killed. But she had to pick someone. She looked down, bit her lip. "...Starbridge." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's the part of Starbridge he's going to allow to talk. It says "Rachel, David doesn't have as much combat experience..." There's the part of Starbridge who doesn't get to talk. It's silently gleeful for Rachel's concern. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Torn Ear would politely applaud his friend(?) if his arms were free. He settles for nodding his head, then looking to David. "I think we should do terrible things to the crazy boy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	smallestbear 2011-06-23 01:19 am UTC (link)
	"I like how ya think." David says sounding more and more like one of Logan's. "Maybe break his pretty little face." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sweepzweak remains calm, smiling at the other two. "I'm sure you'd like that. Removing competition and all. But you don't want to do that." (Reply to this)(Parent)
