IA Day 7 - WAKE UP

The whole cabin shakes as Motoko slams her fist against the wall.

Dust falls from the ceiling, and everyone wakes up.

"What the fuck?" Riona says, rubbing her eyes.

You sit up to see your coach there, red eyes almost... glowing. Everyone is awake and scared.

Motoko quickly explains what's going on today: quick, light breakfast, then an obstacle course, then new uniforms, then a brief strategy session, then a practice game against Pink Team...

...wait, that's Riley's team!

...and then--everyone is getting up.

You get up too and join them, quickly trying to do what everyone else is doing. You don't eat much at breakfast, even though you are hungry... but then you are presented with your uniforms.

They are... a bit skimpy. Just some tight shorts and an even tighter crop top/sport bra that your chest strains against uncomfortably.

"Are you OK?" Adella asks you, seeing how red your face is from lack of breathing...

"Are you?" Riona cuts in, flicking Adella's bulge with a finger.

...but then you have to head off to this obstacle course. The other teams are there too, but... some of them split off.

You catch a glimpse of Riley. She looks so pretty in the morning sunlight, with her red hair, and fit body. There's a cute little bulge in her shorts. This is so scary.

You feel a tingle between your legs, but grab the hand of the nearest person to stop yourself from touching yourself. It's... Beth.

"You OK?" she asks worriedly.

"Nervous," you say awkwardly in English.

"It's all right," Beth says, smiling at you reassuringly. "It's just reality TV stuff. Doesn't matter if you do it well or not."

Yeah, but... you are still nervous. You squeeze her hand, and she squeezes back. Beth is really nice.

But then you have to start the obstacle course.

It's so hard! You are gasping and panting and your whole body is on fire and you feel like you weigh a thousand kilograms by like... the second part of it.

But you fight! There are cameras watching, after all! You try your best, no matter how much it hurts.

Finally you come to a lake, where you have to go out on some weird, terrifying, rolling logs toward like a... waterfall? You go out, struggling to balance with the weird staff they gave you in your hands.

But there's someone ahead. Who is it?

You don't know this girl... she's a slim brunette with short hair. You are pretty sure she's on Riley's team.

She approaches you cautiously, holding her staff uncertainly.

"Hi," she says nervously.

"Hello," you reply in English.

She looks weak. What do you do?

Knock her in the water? Or let her pass?
