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.

Is everyone too shellshocked to actually start guessing? lol
But these are either really obvious or out there enough to make guessing hard, huh...
Buuut going off profiles, 17 is Silas, right? (Sorry! We need to chat more!) He's got those headphones, and it mentions lawyering, so is being the only child a lie? That's my guess!
20 feels like Cait Sith, unless there's another animals I'm missing here! I also really hope your boss is wearing pants so I'm going to say that's the lie.
Seems like we've already figured out 22 is Tenna, as well.
I'll try to think more on the harder ones!

[lactoseintolerable]

Your guess for 20 sounds like a misleading truth, if you ask me. They just wear robes or skirts!

What I really wouldn't believe is that he's married.

[bangforyourboo]

Aaah!!! Oh no, you're right... I'm sorry to all the professional women out there who choose to wear skirts! You're slaying it, I promise!!!
Why couldn't he be married though?

[lactoseintolerable]

The traveling part sounds truthier to me, that's all! Are you accusing him of being the only talking animal in the group, leaving his poor little cat family behind?

[bangforyourboo]

I would never!! I know way too many uh, "talking animals" to ever think that!
So I guess if we're narrowing it down, you have a point...

[abracatdabra]

If only...

[lactoseintolerable]

Aw, I'm sure you'll find a cat who thinks you're a real charmer.

[abracatdabra]

I wasn't built for marriage.

[bawanggong]

I'm still waiting on the chaise lounge answers. And the one with the worm?

[bangforyourboo]

Would YOU fess up to losing to furniture?
I could probably believe the worm thing at least

[staghunt]

Maybe if we're nice and are like well it's doesn't say KILLED just NEARLY killed they'll come out of hiding.

Nah.

[bangforyourboo]

True, and I don't really have room to judge when I've had my own share of near death experiences!

[bawanggong]

But how though? That's what's really getting me.

[bangforyourboo]

True! They got me there

[smashcut]

If had grappling hook feet apparently

[extensiveform]

Nice cross-referencing with the profiles. But I bet his boss doesn't wear pants. I think there's no wife and kid, at least not both.

[bangforyourboo]

How many pantsless bosses are there out there that you'd buy it so easily...

[extensiveform]

Cait Sith doesn't wear pants. He might only respect a boss that's on his level.

[bangforyourboo]

I feel like he can get away with it more than most people

[staghunt]

Maybe they don't need pants like they have fur or something?

[littlejohnny]

for a moment i thought you meant Nice

[extensiveform]

Now I wish I had.

[littlejohnny]

maybe his boss likes skirts?

[bangforyourboo]

Ough, true...
I just assumed the worst!! T_T

[littlejohnny]

it happens!
let's see if you're right
which one was yours anyways?
one of the ones with the siblings?
