Chapter 26
"The results are in!" The host said. "The first fill of their bathtubs will be a big one. This will fill about ninety percent of the tub to create a start. You voted, and the results are... Urine!"
As Ruby heard that she just sat there with an open mouth staring at Kate.
"Told you it wasn't as easy as it seemed." Kate said in response. "What ever happens though, we don't step out of the tub! Okay?"
"Of course!" Ruby said back with a more confident voice.
"And cover your nose if you have to. It might smell a bit."
A tube came down from the roof above them and a yellow liquid started running out of it. They noticed the smell as soon as it started to fill the tub. They covered their noses as the urine kept pouring out of the tube, at this point it was half full. It was cold, so they knew it wasn't fresh, which just made it more uncomfortable.
"Oh what do we have here!" The host said. "Rita from team two have left the tub. That means that team two is out of the tournament! Once seven more teams have been disqualified we are moving on to round two, good luck to the rest of the teams."
"That was fast." Ruby said.
"Not everyone is made out for this shit." Kate answered back.
"Right... I don’t really think anyone is made out to bathe in piss, but some willpower sure helps a long way though." Ruby said, still covering her nose with her hand which made her voice sound completely different.
The tub was now almost completely filled and the tube had gone back up. They now sat with urine all the way up to their necks. No other teams had left after team two, so they just had to wait for the next fill to see what would happen then.
After the first fifteen minutes had gone by, the speakers turned on again. "I see we have a close vote this time." The host said. "With a fifty two percent win, you at home have decided that the next fill of the tub will be... Ice cold water with ice cubes! Enjoy."
As the water with ice cubes came pouring down, the tub quickly filled to the limit and flooded over. The temperature sank quickly as the ice water rushed in.
"F-Fuck this is c-c-cold." Kate said clacking her teeth as she spoke.
Ruby just managed to nod back while she wrapped her arms around her body trying to get some warmth out of the ice cold water that surrounded her, but it didn’t help at all since the water was too cold.
"Four more teams are leaving us it seems. The ice appears to be too much for some." The host said. "Lisa from team three have stepped out, disqualifying her team. Jennifer from team sixteen have also left. Then we have Amy from team one leaving and finally Nora from team eleven. Now we just need three more teams to leave until we got our final eight teams. Best of luck to the rest of the teams and keep your heads cool." He said, ending on a laugh from his very clever joke.
Both Ruby and Kate sat there shaking in the freezing water, feeling the ice cubes touching their bare skin. At this point they could barely feel their hands or feet. After what seemed like forever, the next fifteen minutes was up and the host was back to announce the next fill.
