✦ WEEK 0: FRIENDSHIP IS 20/20

REMAINING

Mingle x

Good morning, sweet fruits! The sun is shining, the birds are singing... it's a wonderful day to get up and start the season properly. When you wake up, you're very quickly herded off the boat by a string of harried bunnies who are shouting about schedules and timing. You'll find the Fruit Hosts (Lemon, Lime, and L'orange) have come down to the beach to greet you, and lead you to your brand new home! Why don't you check it out? While you know that there's a lot in store this week (such as an event on Wednesday and a mysterious all-day broadcasting scheduled for Saturday), until then? You're free to live your life. Explore your new locations, get to know your team (including your team leaders!) and get used to the feeling of being watched at all times. The only place you're safe from cameras are in your team bedrooms and in the bathrooms. Remember that. Or perhaps you do want to be in front of the cameras? Well, have no fear. The Confessional has arrived. Located in the mansion, this little slice of reality tv is there for all contestants to really get juicy. Check out the page for how it all works. Hmm... but after the initial excitement of moving into your lounge and new home fades, you'll find that you feel sort of itchy and scratchy. There's someone on your mind, right? Someone special. And it's not necessarily romantic (though it could be if you're brave enough), but you are drawn to this person intrinsically - you want to hang out with them basically forever. Almost as if a red string connects your fates.

A NEW CHALLENGE APPROACHES

Whoa, remember that thing we said about twists? Well, here's one for you. It's red string week! This effect means that your character and another are intrinsically linked. You want to be next to them at all times. You want to talk to them. Hold their hand. Cuddle and hug and spend soooo much time with them. Well, in a purely platonic way of course. This doesn't mean that you have to be around each other 24/7, but the more time you spend away from each other — the stronger urge to see them again. How sweet? And how very awkward if you happen to be matched up to someone who's not on your team. Whoopsies.

[ putting down his drink sharply. it is empty. thanks rui. ]

Yes.

Stairwell - it's not disruptive, adds a little challenge too.

[ he's not going to be running around this lounge, jem. but he will race you. someone has to take you for your walkies. ]

[this is why i almost put jem in the pets thread but i controlled myself. but yeah he does need to expend some energy.]

Let's go.

[grabs his wrist. run time!!]

[ he is not a pet. he doesn't even have his shots. ]

Whoa - shit!

[ is yanked to go run in the stairwell. i guess it's time to potentially humiliate myself. anyways first race up and down is a 15. i say first because jem is like border collie. ]

[rolled a 7. valiant must be fueled by just enough (but not too much) alcohol. that or jem isn't used to stairs?? not really wheel friendly, ignoring that right now he only has access to legs and feet. he's outpaced, outclassed, and at the end will be torn between horror at his lack of performance and intense confidence in val due to his. mixed bag.]

Rematch. Flat ground rematch--tomorrow.

[he needs to recover emotionally.]

[ it's true, it's the stairs that trip jem up probably. but he's gotta learn! lots of stairs to conquer with two feet instead of two wheels. as he's panting at the top of the stairs hands on his knees. ]

Seriously? ... Alright... rematch tomorrow... still gonna... kick your ass...

[jem is not panting, but he is harboring the pain of having lost to a man three or more drinks deep at a stair contest.]

If you do, I'm walking into the ocean.

[he will go full the awakening.]

It's over for you, Valiant. [points!] Tomorrow! When you're done with your hangover! At a time that's convenient!

[ he's going to throw up later and rawiyah will regret him as a roommate. ]

Man... I'm so unprepared for water... gotta get you a module for that...ugh...

[ stop not awakening!!! ]

You wanna race me at my best... true... really true... ugh...

[ sorry, is he kind of tipping forward a bit? maybe. i think you should let him fall down the stairs. ]

[he is somewhat sure that valiant will forget all about this by tomorrow and will be surprised by whenever a race is sprung on him. that's fine.

just like jem grabbing the back of val's jacket/shirt/whatever so he doesn't beef it on the stairs. all is well.]

[ he will and he will like it actually. he should show jem the treadmill.

but also yeah it's his jacket, you may grab, he will slump onto him and kind of prop himself up on his feet. ]

Thank you... for not letting me break my head... open... racing on the stairs was a mistake.
