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.

[katzepaw]

I think you wrestled the bear.

[cleaved]

I mean, I have before. And a werebear.

[katzepaw]

This is a human bear. I don’t know what that means, aside from one meaning, which I guess could be true but is much less impressive than a bear.

[cleaved]

[ a long pause. ]

I guess I've also fought those, too. Pretty common with mercenaries.

[bawanggong]

I am learning so much about you and your knowledge of bears.

[katzepaw]

It is possible to be a sad filthy hobo and still have hobbies.

[bawanggong]

Including a distinct knowledge of human bears.

[frostythehitman]

+1

[katzepaw]

Oh, I didn’t know you were also interested in human bears.

[frostythehitman]

wait
no
that's not what i meant

[cleaved]

You and Caleb can be human bear connoisseurs!

[frostythehitman]

i am not a human bear connoisseur!

[cleaved]

I know basic math, at least! You did addition. So that means you agreed with him.
I'm sure you could learn from him if you're not already a connoisseur.

[frostythehitman]

i replied with that to the wrong comment!

[cleaved]

Hobbies enrich everyone's lives.

[ she is laughing so hard somewhere. ]

[becomingpotatoes]

Apropos of nothing, do you define a werebear as a human bear?

[Fishing for info, wow, but yeah. Werewolf = human who becomes a wolf under conditions = human wolf. Werebear = human who becomes a bear under conditions = human bear. He's trying to see if his logic holds]

[cleaved]

I define them as Luccian usually when not calling them werebears but yeah I guess they're a human bear.

[ she is still not confirming or denying this is hers. ]

[becomingpotatoes]

[jeopardy thinking sound before Rui takes a decision]

That set isn't yours, then. Final answer.

[cleaved]

Who's to say!

Except the weird sponsor, I guess. But you're doing some good deductive reasoning on that one.

[headmt]

Did you win?

[cleaved]

Sure did.
