April refuses.

April walked forward, “What sick joke is this?”

Naomi smiled innocently, “No joke, we are fully capable of doing all we say. This show is quite… ahead of its time.”

April looked furious, “You grabbed my roommate and I just so we could be sex slaves to some perv! This is not cool.”

“I am obligated to warn you that refusing to play at this time will result in one of the most severe punishments. I know you didn’t choose to participate and weren’t vetted prior to being brought on. But I caution you to at least wait till the first round starts before dropping out.”

Jessica put a hand on April, “Don’t get too worked up April, I could use an ally early on to help win.”

“Don’t tell me you are seriously thinking of doing this,” April retorted. “We’ve been making fun of these two for ogling us since they moved in” she pointed to Alex and John.

“Hey! I’m gay,” Alex said.

“Yeah right!” April scoffed, “I bet you just say that to let women to leave their guard down.”

“Uncalled for, April,” Jessica said. “They didn’t choose to be here either.”

Naomi stood back and watched the arguing continue. It made for great tv to have a contestant drop out early. It wetted the audience’s appetite. And she knew based on the preliminary brain scans that all the contestants, except April of course would consent to being in this competition, even if only at a subconscious level. She was a bit surprised Jessica was already onboard, but chalked it up to her assertiveness.

April fumed and lashed out a bit more before Naomi had to step in, “I need a final answer before punishment can be imposed, do you drop out?”

April looked Naomi dead in the eyes.
