Vacation
Your head is tilted backwards and you open your mouth letting the thick, warm liquid pour into your mouth. Some of it missed your mouth and runs down your chin. You look to your right and see that your three friends have also accepted the challenge. You see the color of the liquid now, after you have swallowed. Red. It was blood. The same thing registers in Seth's head, and he cannot help but puke the contents back up. Chief Setting Moon speaks again, "Wonderful! We have three winners in the goat's blood competition! A black bean will be placed in your sack," as he looks in Seth's direction, "a white bean will be placed in the rest of your sacks." You are motioned to stand and then walked over to a wooden post sitting off to the side of the platform. You, Seth, Riley, and Jedd are all tied to the pole. Your ankles are tied together, and your clothes are cut from your bodies. A native man walks up to you with a bowl of some black liquid, hoping your not going to have to drink whatever that is. The man pulls out a stick and begins to paint a symbol on your upper right chest. It is the sun. Jedd has a star, Riley a river, and Seth a bird. The four of you are left while the natives go to their tents to sleep.
"Damn it guys! You know I'm going to lose this!" yells Seth.
"We can't help it that we are the stronger of the four of us." Jokes Riley.
"Guys, we need strategy. We have to let Seth win some of them. In fact, we must win the same amount so that we all have the same odds of winning. Maybe by then we can develop a plan to escape."
Your turn to speak.
