[SRP] The Great Anime Harem!!

[Yamigalence]

Colin Gets extremely frustrated and starts to bite into the tape in hopes of tearing it so he can get free

[yugi83]

I stood there in the waiting room, 6 feet tall with hair that seemed to want to fight being combed and glasses that covered my brown eyes, wondering when the contest manager would come and take me into the contest. I had filled out the paperwork and turned it in, I had just been waiting to be led into the show. I wasnt sure what the prize was but could always use money prizes. "Ok, so just wait for the PR manager to come in."

[muffinstud]

[Sorry for the long wait, I actually got kinda bored with this myself. Thankfully, I realized that things have finally reached a turning point. Hooray?]

The intercom buzzes into life. The woman from before shrieks in delight before starting into her next speech. "Well done, all of you. Well, not really. Most of you failed horribly. But the important thing is, we got plenty of entertaining shots. Oh, and we have our winners for the byes."

Cooke, having made progress quickly rather than easily, lands on the floor just before Matt. A pair of disinterested interns approach Colin and set him free, despite the progress he was showing.

"Our winner is...what's his name again? Lemme see that. Colin! He gets a bye directly into round three. Oh, and Matt gets a bye into round two. The rest of you, well, you just kind of suck, don't you? Hah!" There is a sheepish voice in the background, followed by the woman's voice yelling, muffled obviously by a hand over the microphone. "Anyways, let this test be a lesson unto all of you. A true Harem King must be physically useless. Those of you who escaped, proved otherwise. Follow the interns, and the real fun will begin." She let off a truly wicked cackle, and cut the intercom off in mid-stride.

All the contestants being free, the interns escort all of them into a hallway with a series of doors. All of them, except Matt and Colin. They get to sit in folding chairs in the room everyone was tied up in.

[Okay, next post people will get paired off, and the true contest begins. TFness has finally arrived, folks!]

Yugi:
A college-aged kid walks into the room, slouching and looking entirely like he desperately wanted to be somewhere else. An intern. He rolls his eyes and lets out a very loud breath. "What's yer name, dude? If yer not on the list, ya gotta leave."

[Zoey]

Matt is very suprised he got a bye. He was very glad that he sort of won this challege and got to relax for round 2. He gladly takes the folding chair and sits down with a satified look on his face. "If I keep this up, I'll be king in no time!" he declaired followed with a small laugh. He wondered what round 2 held for the rest fo the contestants.

[Harri-chan]

Leon clutched at his bleeding nose as he was led out of the room, grumbling beneath the cover of his hands, something about his expensive shirt now being covered with blood. His eyes narrowed in a glare at Matt and Colin as he trudged off after the intern.

[Blaze]

Zac frowned. He didn't even try to get free and he didn't get a bye? But then he shrugged and decided to do his best in the tournament. He went with the interns without saying anything.

[Sasha]

Sora sighs. " well that sucks." he heads off after the others

[Rodney]

Rodrick looks rather depressed at the outcome of this trial : "I suppose you have to fail at everything to be a harem male lead." he says with a sigh. He is a bit worried now that his odd of winning appears quite compromised at the moment, yet he keeps his resolve to try his best.

[Nikki]

"What the he'll" Malcolm says as he finds out his cheating didn't work

[Alissa of Someday]

Sal frowns...but shrugs. At least he was on the right track. He'd have to work things better in the actual competition. With that, he follows the crowd into the next room!

[Mendi-chan]

Frank rushes past Sal on his way to the front of the crowd, making sure to give the man a 'friendly' nudge as he passed. "Move it or lose it man... If you're this slow in the game you'll get eliminated before you have time to get to the starting line."

[ZeroForever]

"Inverted logic?... though according to manga's most harem leaders aren't useless... some are but most have some endearing persistence or work ethic in a random area that makes girls fawn." Francis said to no body in particular before heading out.

[Marky]

Cooke glances around a mumbles a bit to himself. "Just ****ing figures..." He says, before following everyone into the next room.

[muffinstud]

[Wow, quick response time. If only my ISP could respond that fast! *gets tomatoes hurled at him* Hey now, everyone's a critic!]

With the exception of Matt and Colin, the contestants are led into one of several rooms in the hallway. Each room has no windows and only one door. Each room is also filled with towers and mini-mountains of cardboard boxes. Each is a veritable maze. Each contestant can see that there is one other contestant in the room with him. The pairings are as follows:

[gonna post your OOC characters, cuz I'm too lazy to look things up right now]

Blaze == Mendo

Sasha == Nikki

Harri == Marky

Rodney == Nora

Zero == Alissa

[These pairings were chosen randomly, through Russian Mouse Roulette. If you have any complaints, let me know. I'll be happy to ignore you.]

Once taken into the center of the box-laden room, each contestant is blindfolded by an intern and led further into the room. The intern then leaves, and the lights are turned off. The intercom crackles. "Congratulations, you are now all blindfolded and lost in a maze. Let's see you guys get out, hmmm? Be careful though, this is the first round of the tournament. If you lose, not only will you not be allowed to progress, you will be...penalized." She cackles louder and wilder than ever before, something even the maddest of scientists would envy.

Matt and Colin are brought a small monitor that has a video feed of each of the five rooms. Looks like they get some entertainment!

[Sasha]

oh just great." Sora mumbles to Malcolm
