[Hope Alissa forgives me...]
Darius is moved and cuffed just like all the others. He shares his cell with Newton.

Upon the last of the group's entry, the windows all lose their frost and are quite transparent. Each pair of guys can see the other. For the sake of reference, Nova and Robert's cell will be considered the Eastmost cell. J.D.'s and H.H.'s cell is the Westmost. They are arranged all in a line. From east to west, the cells are as follows:

Nova and Robert
Newton and Darius
Romuald and Alexander
Vincent and Taylor
James and Jake
Alex and Jeffrey
J.D. and H.H.

After a brief moment for the boys to admire their common situation, a voice echos in each of the rooms.

"Hello, gentlemen. Thank you for choosing Sure-Fire Cupid to bring the love into your life. You all may be asking yourselves why you are here, rather than meeting with available young women. Well, look around you. You may notice a distinct lack of female applicants. In order to maintain our one hundred percent guarantee, we intend to fix that.

"You all have been bound to protect yourselves for what may follow. The handcuffs you wear are not ordinary. At this very moment, they are pumping your bodies with microscopic machines we call nano rectifiers, or "nanites". These machines can and will mold your bodies into whatever your genetic code has to offer. For our purposes today, they will be rearranging you into complete, functional women.

"Not all of you will be changed. Only one in each room will leave today as the fairer sex. Who that is depends upon your own choices. The nanites have been preprogrammed to respond to adrenaline and other hormone levels in your blood, as well as electrical stimulation in your brain. What you say, do and think all has an impact on whether you remain a man or become a woman. The rooms you are in are quite inescapable. The glass is bullet proof. There is a door, but it will only open once one of you has been completely transformed. Should you be partially along when your companion completes herself, we will send a rescind command to your nanites and they will return you to your present state.

"You may consider this a game, perhaps even a battle of wits. We consider this business. We would kindly ask you to be expedient, so as to make more time for your date this evening, and to free this space for others in the waiting room. Thank you, and we hope you have a wonderful day."

[The game begins now. Remember. Every post counts.]

"As for me, I signed up because I was tired of my relationships never lasting more than a year or sometimes not even a couple months." Jeffrey said.

"What?! I did not sign up to be turned female! I have got to try and get these cuffs off of me." Jeffrey says as he tries to look around for anything that might be the key to unlocking his cuffs so he can get out of here.

[Rodney]

Romuald looks bewildered at the mass of anger growling on the floor. Getting of the room had moved from a high priority to an emergency when he realized the violent jerk was talking to himself.

Romuald, still keeping his eyes on Alexander, starts kicking the wall behind him, hoping to get the attention of someone outside their cell.

He heard the annoucment but for the moment, is oblivious to it.

[Zoey]

"You got to be kidding me. Ok, this april fools joke has gone on long enough" says Nova as she once again tries to break free from the cuffs. "Hey Robert, I don't know if what they said was true or not, but we need to get out of here and thats a fact" he says turning around. "Try drop kicking my hand cuffs"

[Kolonel Kaplice]

*Newton's eyes open in shock at the words. This is ridiculous. Still, he practically grins at the mention of 'battle of wits.' It should be pathetic to crush whatever Neanderthal he's up against. This thought gives him a burst of confidence and allows him to bring his nerves under control.*

"Pretty ridiculous isn't it? Makes you wonder what kind of madman would set up something like this. We're probably in a lot of trouble."

*Newton continues scanning for an exit, though he turns to glance at his partner's face briefly, struggling to hide a snicker. As if any of this is real.*

[Evra]

alex goes wide eyed "no this cant be true its not possible " he says sitting down to were he could at least get thecuffs in front of him

[Marky]

J.D. looks stunned as he looks over at H.H. "You...have got...to be...kidding me..." He says, a bit too stunned to think right now.

[Nosnits]

"Okay. I can try..." Robert says. He drop kicks handcuffs, but to no avail, since they're indestructible. "Sorry, they must be stronger then it looks. How can this be possible though." Inside his head, his mind is racing. 'This can't be real, this has to be a dream, or a joke. Yes, an elaborate joke. But these nanites are freaking me out. It's like I can feel them running around zapping me already, but they.....it's just paranoia...'

[Nikki]

"They can't change us into women" Taylor says as he winces in pain from tight cuffs.

[Zoey]

"Damn it..." says Nova as he can feel that the cuffs are still there. "Ok we need to calm down. If we calm down we can think clearly"

[Nosnits]

"Okay....Okay." Robert agrees, taking deep breaths to calm himself. 'I can still feel themthe nanites....stupid mind tricks...'. "Okay....what can we do. What are our options?"

[Mystic Mina]

There was no way any of that crap that guy just said was true. Nanites? Gender bending? God damn, a fifth-grader could come up with a better BS story than that!

"Well, not like I can do much stuck in this room.... Hey, YOU! On the other side!" Vincent bangs on the glass wall to attract Taylor's attention. "Is there anything over there that can help us get out!?"

[Mendi-chan]

"W-what the heck?!? You guys are off of your ro-" James starts to shout to the disembodied voice, stopping after realizing what they'd just said. If all those things like adreniline, impulses, and hormones triggered changes, what would happen if they did nothing at all? "Hey Jake, I think I got a decent plan to get us both outta this mad house without having to play their crazy game."
