[size]REWARD CHALLENGE[/size]
As customary, the previous winning team came in first. Doram’s Tribe walked in, Doram wearing the immunity necklace. Runouw acknowledged them with a scowl and by yanking the necklace off of Doram’s neck.
Kirby’s team followed “And now we have Kirby’s team,” Runouw stated, “With Brandobrawl voted out last tribal council.” To Runouw’s annoyance, no one on Doram’s team really cared.
When both teams lined up, Runouw made the next announcement. “Well, guys, we got a busy day today. It’s a reward challenge, and boy is it a doozy. You’re going to each stand on a small pillar 10 feet in the air. The pillar’s gonna be about 1 foot in diameter for both feet up at the top, 3 feet in diameter at the bottom. At the bottom, those godforsaken health officials forced me to have the platforms nailed to the ground. Your job is to stay as balanced as you can for your team. Wanna know what you’re playing for?”
Everyone nodded at the same time.
Runouw pulled yet another cover off of a pile of stuff, which, upon its reveal, turned out to be…
“Bedding.” He said, grinning, “9 pillows and 9 blankets. Unless you’re up for sharing.”
Several team members gave him dirty looks.
“You sure?” He raised an eyebrow, smirking. “I can spot several of you who probably wouldn’t mind sharing depending on their neigh-“
Linkdroid took a pillow and threw it at Runouw, with a dirty look. “Get on with it, you brainless sludge.”
Runouw grinned. “Great attitude. Also, the winning tribe will send two of their members over to raid the other tribe’s things. They can take two things from the other tribe, anything they want. Also, the winning tribe sends someone from the losing tribe to something I forgot to mention- Exile Island.”
Aznchau gulped. “Exile Island, man? What’s that?”
“Exactly what it sounds like, my man.” Runouw replied. “You’re alone there until the next immunity challenge. But there’s a twist, which you’ll discover once you arrive. Enough of that, though, let’s get started on the fun part. Or at least it is to me. Watching you all fall!”
“God, we need a new host.” Linkdroid griped. For the first time, everyone agreed with her.
5 minutes later, everyone was standing on their stilt-type pillars. “Ready?” Runouw asked as the crew prepared to let go with their hands.
“No…” Kimonio said, struggling to get himself steady.
“Too bad!” Runouw said, grinning. “Go!”
As soon as they let go, Moy, Linkdroid, Avo, Azn and Kirby fell off of their platforms, Runouw rolling on the ground laughing. “That was great!” he said, laughing. “Encore!”
“I’m going to *%$&# SMOTHER you with this pillow!” Linkdroid yelled.
“Seriously!” Runouw laughed. “You gotta love that woman!”
The five fallen took a seat on the benches as the rest found their balance.
5 Minutes later, one of the platforms started to wobble. “Oh, crap.” Kim blurted out. “Oh, crap, oh crap, oh crap!” Then, the sound of someone falling was heard. “Hah!” Kim added. “24’s out! 24’s ou- WHOA!” he screamed as he fell onto the ground. 24 and Kim took a seat on the benches, heads in their hands.
Blablob, Nin10mode, Yoshi Boo 118, Niklaw and Fourinone were left for Kirby’s team, Doram, Mic, Buff, Aznchau, YoshiKid69 and Ridder were left for Doram’s team. The only ones truly stable were Doram and Blablob. Blablob was even waving at the crowd below, grinning. When Runouw looked at him, Blab flipped him the bird, smiling like a kid on Christmas Eve.
“Hey, you little punk!” Runouw started to bang on Blablob’s stand, wobbling it. Blablob responded by spitting next to him.
“Oh you immature little- get it out!” Runouw grimaced as he ran into the ocean, thinking some of it had gotten on him. Everyone laughed jovially, causing YoshiKid69, Aznchau and Ridder to fall off of their platforms.
Yoshi Boo 118 was the next to start wobbling. “Oh crap, crap crap!” she shouted. “Someone, distract me. Get my thoughts off of falling!”
“Oh, okay!” Nin10mode scrambled for an answer. “Uhm, how’s the weather?”
Yoshi Boo groaned. “That’s the best you got? Goddang it to heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” she screamed as she fell onto the ground face-first.
Nin10mode gasped, jumped down and surveyed YB. She was alive, thank God. “YB?” Ninny asked, turning her over gently.
YB managed a weak scowl. “Dude, you should have stayed up there.”
“She’s OK.” Nin10mode grinned.
“He’s over reactive.” Was Yoshi Boo’s revelation as she got up and stumbled to the seats, Nin10mode taking the seat next to her. She gave him an odd glance but didn’t mind.
And there they stood, Blablob, Fourinone and Niklaw for Kirby’s team, Doram, Mic and Buff for Doram’s team. And to make a long story short, that was how it remained for an hour. AN HOUR.
Then, a sudden gust came and knocked out Niklaw. Mic just plain old lost his balance. Fourinone was distracted by a bird and tried to catch it, causing her to fall off and Buffooner got dizzy from the heat and fell. That left Doram and Blablob.
Doram seemed unmovable, and Blablob was wavering. Blablob tried to steady himself when he got an idea. “Hey, Runouw!” He said, this time flipping him off with both hands.
Runouw walked over and kicked the stand. “Learn some respect, you little %*$@! I could have you booted at any moment!”
Doram chuckled at this predicament.
Blablob spit below him again, purposefully missing but causing Runouw to flip out again. “You little piece of spit! Get this off of me! I could get some sort of disease!”
Doram started laughing and in turn fell off the platform gracefully. “Goddang it, Kirby’s team wins!” Runouw called from the ocean. Blab leapt off of the stand and cheered with his team.
Doram walked over with a smile on his face and went straight to Blablob’s team. “Unusual technique,” he said, holding out a hand, “But well played. Congratulations.”
Blab wasn’t sure how to react, so he gave Doram an odd look and shook his hand.
Runouw gave each of the eight of their tribe a blanket and pillow. “Congrats, guys, I guess. Now pick who you’re sending to Exile Island.”
After a short discussion, the tribe announced “Ridder.”
Ridder moved over to a nearby boat, not showing any emotion as usual.
“Okay, now you guys, get lost.” Runouw griped, shoving Blablob forward a bit. He then faced Doram’s team and said “I’ve got nothing for you except nothing. Get back to camp.”
