Science Experiment

Participate in a fun game and win prize money!

You think back to the advertisement you saw, one that promised a good time and a bit of cash. Oh, how wrong that was.

Now, you're in a clean, white room, stuck to a chair that's bolted into the ground. Your wrists are tied together behind the chair's back, and each of your ankles are tied to one of the chair's front legs. A gag has been placed in your mouth to prevent you from speaking, but there's nothing over your eyes to block the view of two men standing in front of you wearing lab coats, one holding a feather and the other holding a clipboard and a pen.

The scientist with the clipboard and pen – with a name tag labeled as Matt – speaks up. "Listen, subject. There is no game. There is no prize money. We are going to perform an experiment designed to test your reaction to various levels of tickling on different parts of your body. The first level will be a simple feather, which you can see my partner is holding. As we go on, the levels will be of increasing intensity until you can no longer handle it – and perhaps even further." He scribbles something down on the paper attatched to the clipboard before looking at his partner. "Let us begin."

The scientist with the feather – with a name tag labeled as Jay – walks up to you and removes the gag from your mouth, placing it on a table with many other tools on it. He places the feather against the end of your collarbone and gently drags it across until it reaches the other side. His partner watches closely for your reaction.
