The Pyramid of Misfortune (contest RP)
#4

As Johnson grabs the Pyramid Defender’s wrist and yanks, he tries to plant his feet, but overcorrects and loses his balance. With a yell of dismay, he topples off the edge and makes the short fall to the safety cushion below. The crowd boos him as he bounces down the side of the safety mattress to the ground, his head hung in defeat. Tohuitlnoch doesn’t help matters, as he points at the hapless defender and yells, “Wow, you really stink at this! Don’t quit your day job....oh wait, this was your day job! Sucks to be you!” Johnson stands up on level two and raises her hands in a brief victory gesture, before looking up and realizing she still has nine levels to go.

The crowd suddenly gasps, people pointing to the side of the Pyramid where Martins is struggling. On his first attempt to throw his left leg over the ledge, it slips on the oil. Martins almost falls off the ledge, but manages just barely to regain his grip. On the second attempt to throw his leg over the ledge, he manages to get a firm grip. Martins hoists himself up to level two, as the crowd makes noises of disappointment that another person didn’t fall. Tohuitlnoch, who had been shouting “Fall! Fall! FALL!” as Martins struggled, shrugs and says “I mean, good job not falling!” He then turns to watch the other two contestants trying to get to level two.
