ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Your NAME is what you would like to be called. It DOES NOT have to be your CBer name.
Your WEAPON of choice is the SINGLE weapon you would like, no more and no less. It can be ANYTHING that can be used PHYSICALLY (ie. katana, heavy book, fishing rod).
Your NUMBER can be ANY number, including decimals, irrational numbers, imaginary numbers, integers, and fractions.
CAUTION or CURIOSITY measures your IMPULSIVENESS. If you are CAUTIOUS, you are a planner, and you have patience. If you are CURIOUS, you are flexible, and you are quick to react. REMEMBER, neither of these is a bad thing.
COMPETITION or COMPASSION measures your DETERMINATION. If you are COMPETITIVE, you want to win, and you are not afraid to conflict with others. If you are COMPASSIONATE, you want to have fun, and you will avoid conflict at all costs. REMEMBER, neither of these is a bad thing.
ANYTHING else includes anything you would like to tell the organizers.

This competition is inspired off of St. Owl's original competition maze thing (I'm sorry I forgot what it was called). This means that it will be much like a Ski Lodge or Solo Write, except it is much more interactive. YOU, the people who are participating in this, will have control of this, and you will have choices to make. LUCK and RANDOMNESS are a big factor in this. The roll of the dice, the flip of a coin, it will determine your FATE.

Day 1

“WELCOME! One and all! To the CHATTERBOX TOURNAMENT!”
A round of deafening applause came from the speakers, which were hidden throughout the perimeter of the large round rotunda. R.R. sat in a bright red swivel chair, with a neon yellow mic, separated from the stained-glass domed rotunda by a glass wall.
“OUR CONTESTANTS!” R.R. announced, “THE ONE AND ONLY: Eloise! Sam! Rin! Aqua! Lark! Magnus! Joan! Gecko! Bakerloo! Aaaaaaaaand Nyx!”
With each name, the respective Chatterboxer sprang into existence in a circle around the large rotunda. “Let’s go!” Gecko whooped, jumping up and tossing confetti from who knows where.
“Yea!” Sam exclaimed, grinning.
R.R. grinned, and pressed a button. “Now, CONTESTANTS! You each requested a weapon for your adventures in this tournament! I said that you would have ONE weapon! And so shall it be!” she proclaimed.
A single arrow dropped into Eloise’s hands, a single diamond sword into Sam’s. Rin received a wooden staff that seemed to be incredibly warped, Aqua an enormous ladybug the size of her palm, seemingly asleep. Lark received a large, heavy book, with a strap, and Magnus a katana sheath with an empty shuriken pocket. Joan, a dagger the size of her arm, and Gecko, a butterfly-knife sized katana. Bakerloo, a dagger the size of his finger, and Nyx a large stick made of cheese.
The contestants blinked in confusion.
“Why do I have only one arrow?” Eloise asked, looking down at the flint-tipped arrow.
“Why are all the pages of my book shredded?” Lark asked, opening up her book to find a heap of confetti.
“Why is Sherry asleep, and why is she so much smaller?” Aqua inquired, poking her ladybug gently.
“Why is my dagger so small?” Bakerloo asked, holding up his dagger like a needle.
R.R. laughed. “Why, I gave you what you asked for! I did have to make some adjustments, after all, you were only allowed ONE weapon. And I got these from IKEA, so I had to put them together myself. They are what you asked for! But a little bit … different!”
Magnus frowned, looking inside of his empty shuriken pocket. Rin shrugged, struggling to find a way to fit her staff under her arm. Joan sighed, lifting up her dagger with both hands.
“ALRIGHT contestants! Now that you have your weapons, it is time for me to explain HOW this works!”
“Hardly a weapon,” Gecko muttered, looking at her tiny katana.
R.R. ignored Gecko. “YOU, contestants, will be participating in SEVEN minigames, and a FINAL duel at the end! Six of these minigames are ELIMINATION games! THIS ROOM is the DECISION DOME! That means that HERE, there will be DECISIONS made!”
“Duh, Sherlock,” Nyx quipped sarcastically.
R.R. ignored Nyx as well. “EACH round, there will be two ADVANTAGES given out, and two DISADVANTAGES! The advantages will go to the worst team that wasn’t eliminated, and a random team! The disadvantages will go to the best team, and a random team!”
Sam looked like she was deep in thought.
“Everyone got it?” R.R. asked.
Everyone nodded, except for Bakerloo. “You said that six of the seven rounds were elimination rounds,” he said, “Which round is not an elimination round?”
“The seventh,” R.R. answered promptly, and continued, “Now are you ready contestants?!”
“Ready as I’ll ever be!” Aqua exclaimed.
“Now or never!” Rin said.
“That’s the spirit!”
R.R. clicked a remote, and the glass panel the contestants were looking at her through faded to the same paneled wood as the rest of the decision dome.
“Now, contestants, for your first decision,” R.R. said.
Ten doors appeared along the walls, each radiating a different energy. They all looked rather peculiar, rather strange. “This is your first decision!” R.R. exclaimed, her voice coming from the speakers, “Choose a door! You MAY choose the same door as someone else, but be warned, this will make it DIFFICULT for you further on!”
The contestants looked among each other, whispering. Making plans, or learning of others’ plans. Or not making plans and they just wanted to talk. Either way, they would have to make a decision. They would have to make a decision soon.

The first door is a plain red door, much like the one to an ordinary home. The second door is composed of twisting vines and leaves. The third door seems to be made of driftwood, and shells line the edges. The fourth door is old, and painted black, with gilded gold edges. The fifth door is made of glittering gold, with intricate designs. The sixth door is a plain white door that has a sleek, futuristic feel to it. The seventh door is barely a door, on account of the astonishing amount of flowers on it. The eighth door is a stone door with ancient hieroglyphics on it. The ninth is a dark oak door with burn marks on it. The tenth door is a green glass door, slightly opaque so you cannot see beyond it.
Now, contestant, what door will YOU choose?

...well, I suppose I should have seen that coming. I wish I’d picked a nice, simple Ranger’s-Apprentice-style throwing knife, but I suppose RR still would have found a way to misinterpret that. :)
I’ll choose either the second door or the fourth door, depending on where other people are going — I’d rather not end up with anyone else. (Before you go ahead and misinterpret this XD, you said we were whispering with each other. This is what I whispered.)
(October 2, 2020 - 12:28 pm)
I will choose the first or tenth door. Whichever one has the least other people going through it. If they have the same amount of people (unlikely, but possible) I will choose the tenth.
(October 2, 2020 - 4:04 pm)
CHEESE!?
Guess I won't starve.
I'll choose door three, the driftwood one.
(October 2, 2020 - 4:13 pm)
I'll choose the seventh door, the flowery one :).
(October 2, 2020 - 9:19 pm)
I shall choose the 2nd door; the one with the twisted Vines and leaves. It called to me for sending reason...
(October 3, 2020 - 9:59 am)
Intriguing, I like this already. I'll choose the eighth door, the one with the hieroglyphics.
(October 4, 2020 - 6:52 pm)
I guess I'll cooperate
(October 27, 2020 - 11:30 am)
Oh my gosh, this is hilarious! Great job RR, I love it already!
I'm going to pick the tenth door; it sounds like the most intriguing to me...
