The Great Tickling Tournament

You groan as you wake up, as your vision clears you see yourself surrounded by other women, who were also waking up. You see you're somewhere you don't know, it looks like some kind of palace. You and the other women begin talking, wondering just where you all are or how you got here.

"Greetings, my beautiful guests!" A voice calls out, you all look to see a man walk on a nearby balcony, "You have all been invited to take part in a special tournament I have organized. I am a demigod, who's in need of entertainment, and a few new toys." you really don't like what he's saying, "You may have noticed any weapons or equipment you carry are gone, as well as any power you have." there was a round of protests after that, "You see, this tournament is not a combat tournament...it's a tickling tournament."

Everyone stares at him, shocked about what he just said.

"The rules are simple, to win you just tickle your opponent into submission. The prize for winning, you simply get to go home, the 15 that lose will be my new toys, to tickle for all eternity."

Everyone is horrified at the announcement, and more protests follow, demanding to be sent home.

"I'm afraid there's no way out, either all of you refuse and all of you become my tickling slaves, or take the chance for one of you to escape. The tournament begins in two hours! I suggest you all get ready."

You can't believe this is happening, put into an insane tournament, where you can go home or face eternity as a tickling ****. Just what the hell was this!
