"Good point!" the hostess says.

"What?" Felina answers, obviously shocked. "That would mean that it suffices to gag me to forget all these rules? There is no way I risk my freedom in such a treacherous challenge. You'll have to find someone else for that!" she continues, turning away as if to leave the stage.

"Wait!" the hostess stops her hastily. "This is not I was meaning. Of course, as the hostess, I shall make sure that the rules are respected all the time. If the rule says no nudity, then that's it. There was no such rule in the first challenge..."

Felina grumbles and comes back, still lured by the amount of money the new challenge would bring to her.

"Now, listen, I am willing to offer another security point for you, if you are willing to forget about that ridiculous rule #14. Imagine that, during the challenge, you realise something is wrong, you may want to amend some of the rules. I'm willing to allow that. It will be enough for you to say 'I agree' or to grunt three times in short succession for a rule to be amended as if you had added your signature at the end of the contract. Isn't that a safety?"

Felina thinks about it and finally nods her agreement.

"And also, in exchange for that, I would put the number of restraints to 5 instead of 3. OK?" the hostess adds.

Felina grumbles but agrees to that too.

"Alright. Let's restate the rules once again:"


Rule #0: If Felina Pan Teer wins the challenge, her present prize will be multiplied by 5. If she loses the challenge, she will lose her prize and become the central pain-slut in the "Creative Torturers" show for one year for no salary, at a rate of one show per week.

Rule #1: A maximum of 5 restraints and 3 keys is allowed. They can only be made of rope, rubber, leather or chains.

Rule #2: Felina must be able to reach each key. There must be no logical impossibility to reach (touch) the key, either by crawling or contorting.

Rule #3: The restraints will be discussed by members of the audience and added in short succession after a agreement has been reached among them.

Rule #4: Felina's life must not be put at risk and none of her bones can be broken or dislocated or any part of her body permanently maimed.

Rule #5: To win, Felina must release herself from all restraints within six hours after the last restraint has been placed.

Rule #6: The temperature of the keys cannot be altered.

Rule #7: Everything that is not mentioned in the present rules is considered as approved.

Rule #8: If she were to lose, Felina would be assured to get at least one meal and 8h of rest per day during the whole year of her contract.

Rule #9: Before starting the new challenge, Felina will get 3 hours to rest and take a shower.

Rule #10: Felina will be clothed during the next challenge.

Rule #11: No electricity will be involved in her challenge.

Rule #12: The rubber-clad woman who had come so often on stage during the first challenge will not be allowed to contribute to the second challenge.

Rule #13: Everybody must treat Felina with proper respect during her second challenge.

Rule #14: The presents rules maybe amended by Felina by saying "I agree" or grunting three times in short succession after the amended rule has been spoken to her. If everything is unambiguously recorded and broadcast, this amendment is equivalent to a signed contract.
