Total Sole Survivor Ep 1 Part 2 "
**Commercial Break over**
"All aboard!" Darrel exclaimed as he guided everyone onto his cruise ship.
The ship was like your typical first class cruise ship. Nice clean floor. Big and roomy. Decorative, luxurious, and appealing.
"This..this I can get used to," Nicholas twirled around as he glanced at the scenery.
"It already feels like home!" Beatrice beamed.
"..I don't know..it feels a bit cramped.." Jolt was a bit apprehensive. "..barely any space to move.."
"You can maybe run around the deck, as long as you don't slip overboard," Zarian helpfully suggested.
"Not the same," Jolt frowned as she crossed her arms.
Confessionals
Beatrice- "The waves. The water. This is perfect! This is my domain. I am the Princess of the seas afterall. So I'm already comfortable with the environment, I just now need to be comfortable with my teammates. Hopefully we get time to talk."
**Static**
Jolt- "A boat? You got to be kidding me? Running is my passion, and being stuck on a boat is like a punishment. So if I get cranky, that isn't my fault."
End
"Oh the boat looks absolutely stunning," Michigan clung to Darrel's arm.
"Hmm," Caleb had no opinion he wanted to share. "Whatever let's get to busi-"
"Oh one more thing!" Darrel cut in, which made Caleb give him a side-eye.
"I'd like you guys to meet an intern that will be helping around the boat," Darrel told them, which got multiple looks.
"Why does it matter.." Mistral muttered. "..I want to get to the you know- important stuff."
"Is it Fredie Mercury!" Federick hoped.
Everyone stared at him.
"What a man can dream.." He trailed off as he crossed his arms, and looked down slightly embarrassed.
Tamanshini patted his shoulder, which brought a smile back to his face.
"Wait, we never talked about this.." Michigan now tilted her head.
"Yea, well you'll love this, I got-" Darrel snapped his finger giving the individual a clue to come out.
Everyone waited…to which nothing happened.
Darrel snapped again. He then continued to snap, getting more irritated.
He then turned with a forced smile, "Um…give me a moment."
"Does he know what he's doing.." Rosalina questioned.
"I think it's more than safe to say no," Mistral shook her head as she crossed her arms. "All I know is I don't care."
"Do any of us know what we're doing?" Shelby just inputted.
"Yes, now stop with those question things.." Tamashini was starting to get irritated.
Caleb was also visibly annoyed, but with Darrel.
"We never agreed to another intern," He told Michigan, to which she shrugged.
They then heard him talking to an individual.
"Did I not say to come out after I snap?" Darrel lectured.
"I didn't know what to say yet.., I was still preparing my intro, and I want to make a good first impression-"
"Well you're already making a bad one, now get out-" Darrel shoved her out.
Out came a 5'8 plump yet curvy build, fair-skinned and blue-eyed girl.
She had long blonde hair.
She was wearing a white t-shirt with a brown vest over it. She then had blue jeans with a black belt, and then yellow socks with black sandals.
As she first saw the group of contestants staring at her she looked like a deer in the headlights, very anxious and alarmed, but she quickly put on a smile.
"Oh um hi I'm-" She started.
"Sienna Valencia!" Michigan identified. "I used to watch you on Youtube!"
"That's right.." Sienna smiled nervously as she scratched the back of her head. "..but um- that isn't me anymore."
"Oh I used to watch you too!" Tamashini beamed.
"Me too!" Mikaio grinned.
"I did too!" Frederick waved his hands around.
Confessionals
Mikaio- "Sometimes when I was bored. I would pop out the phone and watch that Sienna girl. Just clips you know. Although is it just me or did she gain some..pounds..ya, it's not just me."
**Static**
Tamashini- "Sienna is an icon! Or was an Icon..what happened to her..I definitely need to get the deats. And now that she is here, I can!"
End
Nicholas blinked. "Are we supposed to know her.."
"For all I know, she's a hobo off the streets," Mistral stated.
"Fame is a concept, she is only famous if we make her famous," Shelby said.
"So now that you guys see, Sienna. Just know Sienna will be an intern," Darrel claimed.
"Just like you should be," Caleb finally spoke as she pushed Darrel aside. "Now let's allow the actual HOST to speak."
"Um Rude much.." Darrel muttered.
"Thanks Darrel, I'm such a fan of her," Michigan kissed him on the cheek. "How did you know?"
"Um..lucky guess?" Darrel lied as he shrugged. "You know me babe, I know you like the back of my hand."
"Anyways," Caleb grabbed back the attention, "you guys follow me to the locations you need to know."
Confessionals
Nicholas- "Glad we're moving on. I have no idea who that Sienna is. She is pretty, but she could spare to lose a few pounds, just saying. Alas, we can see the rest of this marvelous ship."
**Static**
Mistral- "Who is Sienna. Honestly, don't know and don't care. Let's get to the fun part, please! I'm really ready for the game to actually begin. You know with the strategy and the challenges! Also I can't wait to see what this boat has to offer. Exploring is definitely on my bucket list!"
End
"Okay, so this is the mess hall," Caleb took them to like a main meeting/gathering area that had chairs, seats, and tables. There was a station to get food, with supposedly a door that led to the kitchen. "It is also where you'll eat."
"This is the common area," Caleb then showed them the next room.
The room was like a regular sitting room, although with more comfortable chairs. "This is where we'll announce challenges. Also another hangout area."
Caleb finally led them to two doors.
"Oh what's in the doors?" Mikaio questioned curiosly
"Your rooms," Caleb answered. "For now. Although the winner of the challenges will get-"
"Actually, the winner of the challenge no longer gets the first class suite," Darrel mentioned. "It's um..now occupied."
"By who?" Caleb asked. "We agree that the winner DOES get the first class."
"Occupied by me,duh," Darrel stated. "You agree, but I didn't. So no. Everyone gets these rooms."
This made most people groan.
Nicholas glared.
Rosalina crossed her arms.
Jolt sent Darrel a dirty look.
Frederick sighed.
Tamashini frowned.
Davy cursed, and called Darrel a name under his breath.
Beatrice still smiled.
Alanar shrugged, and accepted it. The rest didn't mind.
Confessionals
Phillip- "Eh, I don't care where I stay, I just care who I'm stay with. Throw in some cool dudes and some hot chicks, and we're good."
**Static**
Alanar- "Honestly, I'm just excited to make new connections. That is an important part of the game. Sharing a room doesn't bother me."
End
"Are the rooms..um coed?" Phillip just asked. He put his arm around Rosalina "Asking for a friend."
Rosalina effortlessly whacked his arm off.
"Find out for yourself, you guys can now get to know each other. You have the night to talk and do whatever," Caleb left them alone.
"And come up with a team name," Michigan added before she left.
The first group entered their room. It was small and compact, a tigh space.
The room also only had 4 large beds.
"So, should we start with introductions?" Godfrey supposed.
"Sounds good," Mikaio nodded.
Melissa nodded although she was working on something.
Rosalina just watched.
Zarian gave a thumbs up.
Phillip's eyes were on Rosalina, but he whistled and looked away when she caught him staring.
Mistral shrugged.
Jolt just looked around the room.
"Cool, I'll start, I'm Godfrey Ngakoue, I'm Rwandan-American and I'm 18 years old, and I'm a student," Godfrey introduced himself. "And I can't wait to play with you guys."
Confessionals
Godfrey- "Sure I want to be the villain, but the time will come. In this game you can't go fast out the gate. I don't want a target on my back. So for now, we're playing the friendship game. Borrrring, but necessary. Luckily I'm good at the friendship game. People naturally like me. I mean, how could you hate this smile." He grinned and winked.
End
Everyone nodded and smiled.
"I'm Zarian, also 18," He gave a nod to Godfrey. "Also a student, but I'm a football player."
"Nice!" Jolt smiled. "Nice to know we have some physicality! Anyways, I'm Jolt. I'm 21, and I'm flipina-american, and I'm a runner. Running is my core passion- which is why I was frustrated about the boat."
"Hey if you ever want to workout, I got you," Zarian offered. "I can give you some good cardio routines."
"Great!" Jolt then high fived him.
Confessionals
🏈Zarian- "I see myself getting along great with my teammates. Godfrey is my boy. Jolt she seems to be pretty sporty too, so I think we'll get along great. The others don't seem too bad either. I think we'll be in tip top shape."
End
"I guess I'll go next," Phillip smiled. "What up bros and broskis, I'm the Party God! The s#x god! Or you can always just call me Phillip."
"Yea..I think I'll stick with Phillip," Mistral wasn't impressed, rather she looked like she wanted to laugh.
"Definitely just Phillip," Jolt retorted.
"Phillip for me," Rosalina stated.
"Phillip f-for s-sure," Even Melissa said.
"Ladies remain a mystery to me, yet so intriguing.." Phillip murmured as he stroked his chin. "Fine, Phillip it is. I'm 22 by the way."
"Hey you're the party god, in my eyes man," Godfrey put a hand on Phillip's shoulder.
"Thanks bro," Phillip accepted it.
"Well, I'm Minstral," Minstral stepped up next. "I'm 18. I'm here to play. And that's all you guys need to know about me."
Rosalina's eyebrow perked up at that, as did Godfrey also took note.
Confessionals
Mistral- "I mean, we're all here to play and win, someone had to say it. I'm not going to do the whole fake friendship kumbaya bullcrap. That just isn't me. As for my teammates..I wasn't really paying attention. To be honest, I was just looking at Jolt's pockets! She has a lot of pockets..I wonder what's inside..hehe.."
End
"I'm Mikaio, 19, I'm a traveler," Mikaio shared. "Um..about me..well I don't know, I guess I want to explore and see what I can bring to the game and what the game can bring to me, you know. I'm Hawaiian also by the way."
"Dude, I heard the beaches are sick," Phillip mentioned. "A great places to part-ay!"
"A lot of places have good beaches: Greece, Indonesia, etc," Mikaio said. "I've been places hot and cold."
"Which places have the hottest girls?" Phillip asked.
"Um.." Mikaio considered it. "..there was some smoking hot chicks-"
"Don't answer that," Rosalina said to Mikaio. She glared at Phillip. "Does your mouth ever stop talking about women?"
"Why do you care about what my mouth does?" Phillip responded back with a smile.
Rosalina raised up a warning fist and Zarian got in between them.
"Easy there," Zarian mediated.
Confessionals
️Rosalina- "I don't know what game Phillip's trying to play, but I'm trying to play Total Sole Survivor. He isn't even that cute.." She stated, although she couldn't help but add "Even if he was, I wouldn't spare him a glance."
**Static**
Phillip- "I've played this game before. Hard to get." Phillip rubbed his hands together, then brushed back his hair. "My favorite. She digs me. I can tell."
End
"You want to share," Zarian looked at Rosalina.
"She can go first," Rosalina pointed towards Melissa.
Melissa was still working on her invention, being lost in her work.
"Seems like someone is distracted.." Jolt looked irritated.
Mistral snatched Melissa's glasses to get her attention.
"H-hey, my g-glasses, I n-need those!"
"What you need to do is pay attention," Mistral tossed it back to her, and she almost dropped them.
"W-what are w-we d-doing-" Melissa asked as she stared blankly at everyone.
"I rest my point," Mistral rolled her eyes. "We're doing introductions as a team, care to join and be a part of the said team."
"Oh r-right- my b-bad- so um-m- I'm M-melissa," Melissa said nervously.
"And?" Jolt crossed her arms.
"A-and?" Melissa was confused.
"Age or anything else?" Godfrey prodded.
"..I'm eight-teen and I'm an i-inventor," Melissa revealed.
"You're an inventor, who would have guessed," Mistral teased, which made everyone else laugh.
Melissa blushed embarrassed.
That left Rosalina.
Confessionals
Melissa- "I have an 'alliance' with Mistral. But for the record. I don't like Mistral..I'm allowed to say that right?"
**Static**
Mistral- "If I have to guess Melissa is the odd one out on the team. Good thing I don't have the guess, I KNOW Melissa is the odd one out. Although I did make that alliance with her..hmm..I wonder how useful she'll really be. Maybe it was a little too soon."
**Static**
Jolt- "Can I say that I don't like Melissa," Jolt stared with at the camera with an annoyed face. "Okay, I'll say it. I don't like Melissa. She gives weak vibes. I want a strong team. We won't win by being unfocused and stuttering all the way to loserville. Hopefully she proves me wrong. Either that or we vote her out."
End
"That leaves, sweetie over here," Phillip gestured to Rosalina.
"Don't call me that," Rosalina gave him a look.
"Then what do you want me to call you," Phillip winked at her.
"THEY can call me Rosalina, you can call me not interested," Rosalina retorted. "I'm here for the game."
"Okay Rosie, just know I like you, in case you change your mind," Phillip shrugged. "I'm here for the game too, and I can be there for you too. Just give me a call, and-"
"Anyways," Rosalina turned to the others. "I'm 21, and I'm a police cadet."
"Just what we need.." Mistral murmured.
"What is that supposed to mean," Rosalina narrowed her eyes at Mistral
"Nothing, I just love the police," Mistral said. She muttered. "When they're nowhere near me.."
"I now love the police," Phillip couldn't help but say.
"Bro's down bad," Godfrey whispered to Zarian and Mikaio, who both nodded.
Confessionals
Mistral- "I don't do well with authority figures, I'll admit…it's complicated. Also F### the police! I don't know I just felt the need to say that. So Rosalina? Not a fan."
**Static**
Rosalina- "So I took the time to listen to my fellow teammates, just so I know what I'm dealing with. Jolt, I like her. Me and her are already on good terms. Zarian and Godfrey…hmm nothing seems off about them at the moment. Melissa is okay. Phillip, I will not speak on him. Let's just say to be determined. The only people I can't read are Mikaio and Mistral…I get good vibes from Mikaio, but..Mistral. I'm not sure."
**Static**
Phillip- "Normally, it's F the police, if you catch my drift, cause they be messing up a good time. But if Rosie's a police, we have to make an exception. Not to mention I've never met a hot police..like nobody told me police came in hot edition?"
End
"Okay, now the team name, any ideas?" Zarian asked.
"I want something that screams strength!" Jolt proclaimed.
"It s-should b-be c-creative," Melissa suggested.
"How about the Rocket Rhinos," Mistral offered.
"What does that even mean?" Jolt asked.
"I don't see you offering anything," Mistral crossed her arms.
"I actually like the Rocket Rhinos," Godfrey nodded. "It isn't bad."
"How about the Killer um.." Jolt paused. "I just know I want Killer, cause we will kill the competition."
"Killer Kinkajou," Mikaio proposed. "Cute but deadly."
"What's a kinkajou?" Mistral asked.
"Like a monkey or a badger," Rosalina answered.
"Actually related to raccoons," Mikaio clarified. "But it's..unique. That's what I like."
"Everyone for it?" Godfrey asked.
Everyone agreed.
Confessionals
Mikaio- "Honestly Kinkajous are related to raccons, but they look like a monkey and a badger combined. I want my game to be like a kinkajou. Sweet upfront, but agile, resourceful, and the claws can come out if needed. The best part is no one will see it coming." He put on a fresh smile.
**Static**
Mistral- "What the heck is a kinkajou?!"
**Static**
Phillip- "Kinkajou. Kinky!"
End
"Let's pick bedmates now," Godfrey suggested.
"I'm with-" Phillip started.
"You and me," Rosalina grabbed Jolt before he could finish.
"I got you sister!" Jolt and her went to settle their stuff down.
"Then I got-" Phillip tried to select again, but Mistral cut him off
"Ladies first sucka, and with that I'm with Melissa," Mistral smirked at Melissa, who just griminanced.
Confessionals
Mistral- "I need to keep Melissa close. No. like LITERALLY I need to keep her close. I can't have her ruining my game by sleeping with the potential enemy. Literally."
**Static**
Melissa- "These n-nights are..g-going to be l-long. V-very l-long. B-but for n-now, I'll TRY to ap-ppease M-mistral."
End
"Me and Zarian," Godfrey claimed, and the two dapped up.
"And that leaves me and you," Mikaio placed a hand on Phillip's shoulder.
"Okay, Miky, just promise you're not a snorer and we good," Phillip joked.
"Miky? Are we already on nicknames," Mikaio smiled.
"I give all my bros, a good nickname," Phillip grinned.
"Okay, well if I'm Miky, you're Philly-dawg," Mikaio declared.
Phillip laughed. "Oh dude! I love it!"
Confessionals
Phillip- "Miky, wasn't my first choice. You guys KNOW who I would love to be sleeping with. Seems I can only dream of that for now. But I think I'll get along with just about anyone."
**Static**
Mikaio- "Phillip seems like you're typical frat bro..I don't see his type often. But I think we'll be fine. That's the reason I came. To meet new people. That's a part of the experience, no? Besides Philly-Dawg and Miky are great nicknames, so I think this is the start of a good friendship."
End
They broke off into activities
Zarian and Jolt began exercising.
"Okay, so what do you usually do?" Jolt asked him.
"Hmm, let's start with bicycles," Zarian instructed and the two got to work.
Rosalina kept to herself to unpack. She kept an eye on the others though.
Mikaio was chatting with Phillip.
"So like what's your favorite kind of music?" Phillip wondered.
"Depends on the vibe, but anything that gets me moving, I can get down to," Mikaio answered. "Although, I've listened to some Afro-beats lately.."
Mistral was going over her stuff in her backpack, while eying everyone else.
Melissa was explaining her current invention to Godfrey who was pretending to be interested.
"So b-basically this is m-my j-jetpack…it is a w-work in p-progress," Melissa explained as she tinkered with it.
"Very crafty, glad we have someone like you on our team," Godfrey nodded along. "Why do you invent?"
"W-well u-um..it's b-been a p-passion s-since I was y-young," Melissa revealed.
"Really now?" Godfrey smiled, feigning interest. "I'd love to hear more."
Confessionals
Godfrey- "Okay, so my read on everyone is..Melissa. I don't know how long she'll last, but she is smart. I won't count her out. All the boys I can play buddy buddy with them. Mikaio and Phillip especially, cause they both seem to be frank. Dumb. Zarian..he isn't dumb per se, but he is..naive. Trusting. Too pure. Eh. Rosalina screams threat. I'll butter her up, can't have her against me. Jolt is…I don't think she'll last long. Too vocal and brash. Then Mistral is still a question mark. I don't like question marks."
**Static**
Melissa- "I d-don't know h-how I f-fit in..it's h-hard. B-being outcast is a f-feeling w-way too f-familiar…to m-me." She sighed. "I m-mean. Having a s-stutter isn't easy..I j-just h-hope I can m-make well b-built connections. I m-mean tell me why it's s-so easy to b-build a 6 f-feet robot, but s-stringing together a c-confident s-sentence and b-building c-connections is so hard. A have my w-2ork c-cut out for me.." she sighed.
End
On the other team, the other group decided to get to know each other.
"Okay, let's do introductions-" Beatrice started.
"What is our team name?" Nicholas questioned.
"-or we can do that first," Beatrice shrugged.
"Well we all have colorful hair or color in our hair, or at least most of us," Alanar observed, referring to herself, Nicholas, Tamanshini, and Beatrice.
"Oh what about the Color Squad!" Tamashini suggested.
"How flavorless," Nicholas tsked his tongue. "Add some more spunk to that name, please and thank you."
Tamanshini rolled his eyes. "Give me a moment..I'm thinking..and what do you have to suggest then."
"I'm thinking as well, because perfection can't be rushed," Nicholas shrugged, doing an exaggerated stretch. "I must slow the mind."
"Well, will picking a name really affect the outcome of our performance? If everything in life is already predetermined, does whatever name we pick really matter so why should we dwell on such issues-" Shelby began. "But..if we must pick, Colorful Chipmunks. It can't alter anything too much if the world is not rooted in determinism."
"I love Colorful Chipmunks!" Frederick supported. "So adorable!"
"I like it, it sounds cute," Beatrice smirked.
"Too cute. We need something tough," Davy inputted. "Like a cobra."
"I like cobras," Uma purred.
"If she likes it, then Davy likes it even more," Davy declared.
"Why do you refer to yourself as Davy..are you a separate being from your own consciousness," Shelby looked at Davy.
"Why do you talk utter gibberish," Davy sneered as he narrowed his eyes at her.
"Settle down guys. I agree with Uma, I'm also for cobras," Alanar smiled, she glanced at Uma who winked and nodded.
Confessionals
Uma- "Cobra is perfect. It's a snake, which is how I'll be in this game. Slither my way into people's hearts, and take the win. This will be fun. Everyone is already hanging onto my every word."
**Static**
Alanar- "She's soooo pretty..focus Alanar. Focus!"
**Static**
Davy- "Focus Davy! Focus! Nah, who am I kidding. She's bloody lush!"
End
"Perfect, then I'll draw us a team logo!" Nicholas proclaimed.
"I'll help," Alanar offered.
Nicholas nodded to that
"Me too!" Frederick bounced over.
"Um.." Nicholas gave him the side-eye. "We said help, not disturbance."
"You don't even know me.." Frederick frowned.
"You're right, and I don't want to," Nicholas decided.
"That's it," Tamashini stepped up to Nicholas, and it seemed he would go off on him.
"Okay, moving on let's introduce ourselves," Beatrice prevented the conflict.
Confessionals
Beatrice- "Looks like I'm playing peacekeeper. No biggie! Coming into the game I kind of expected to play team mom, and that's what I'm fine doing. I'll make us be like we're a happy little family!"
**Static**
Frederick- "I think Nicholas doesn't like me…?" Frederick frowned. He then smiled. "That's okay, I'm sure he's just joking around. It's the start of something."
**Static**
Nicholas- "I don't like Frederick. Like at all. In fact, I kind of hate him. Is that mean? No, it's quite reasonable. You ever look at someone and wonder if they have an off button. That's how I feel about Frederick."
**Static**
Tamashini- "I know what it feels like to be picked on and to be an outcast. I won't let Nicholas put anyone down. We're all the same. Except unlike Nicholas, some of us have human decency, kindness, and respect."
End
"Okay, so let's share! I'm Beatrice, I'm 18 and I'm Canadian," Beatrice told them.
"Aye, no wonder you're so nice," Davy nudged her. "Canadian and all."
"Aww stop it," Beatrice giggled. "Also I love mermaids, if you can't tell."
"Interesting, I saw you were dressed up as a mermaid earlier," Shelby noted. "Why was that?"
"Cause I like mermaids..sometimes I feel like I am one," Beatrice said.
"Interesting.." Shelby stroked her chin. Shelby muttered to herself. "..maybe you are..maybe you perceive a different reality from our own.."
Confessionals
Shelby- "Beatrice is fascinating. I already have some theories about her..but they are all invalid without evidence. Which I will get. She is interesting. All my teammates are. Even Davy. Everyone has their own philosophical ideas, beliefs even if they deny it. I can't wait to dig into the minds of this unique group."
End
"Davis Percival Bartholomew Wolfgang Amadeus the third, that's my given name, but you lot can keep calling me Davy," Davy shared. "21, and I'm a part of a band: The Demon Child!"
"Quite the long name, I like it," Nicholas commented with a smile. He then shook his head."A bit wordy though, it could drop a few-"
"You happen to be quite wordy yourself, want me to fix that for you mate," Davy cracked his knuckles.
Tamashini smiled. "I'd pay to see that."
"Stop now," Beatrice stated.
"Let's take it easy," Alanar conceded. "Anyways, I'm Alanar. I'm 18. Chinese American. And I'm an artist."
Frederick clapped. "That makes 3 artists on the team, how fortunate!"
"-Two-" Nicholas loudly coughed, discrediting Frederick.
"That gives us a huge creative advantage," Alanar smiled.
Confessionals
Alanar- "Right now I'm mostly focused on making a good first impression, which I think I did. Nice Alanar! I also hope we can get along. Conflict in the team early on is never good. Building connections is the key!"
**Static**
Frederick- "3 artists on one team! That's a dream come true!"
**Static**
Nicholas- "I only see 2 artists. They must have forgotten the third."
End
"Okay, I'll share!" Frederick bounded forward. "I'm Frederick, but you guys can call me Freddy! If you can't tell I'm glad to be here, and I'm 18. A massive Queens fan! Also an artist."
Nicholas stepped in front him, knocking Frederick back.
"Well, if you want a real artist, you have me. Nicholas. I'm 19, and well you already know what I am," Nicholas assumed as he waved around his art
"-A jerk," Tamanshini cut in, but he then stepped up with a smile. "Okay, so it's my turn. Great! Okay, so I'm Tamanshini. I'm Japanese. I run an anime club. So my outfit is rooted in harajuku, which is a Japanese clothing style. Although I love all types of fashion from gothic, lolita, etc, I'm quite the designer."
"Are you reading my mind, those are my favorites too!" Federick exclaimed. "I was born a fashionista."
"We are so twinning," Tamashini shrugged as he laughed. "Crazy coincidence."
Beatrice just smiled as she observed.
"You need to tell me more about the Japanese clothing style, and I'll tell you about Chinese art," Alanar suggested to Tamashini.
"You got yourself a good bargain, I'm sold" Tamashini confirmed as he looked intrigued and pleased.
Confessionals
Alanar- "It's nice to see Tamanshini cares a lot about his Japanese culture. I could even show him some of my Chinese art. We have a connection on that front."
**Static**
Frederick- "I think I'm in love. Like he's so cute. Like for real. Like take me to the altar, I'm so serious."
**Static**
Beatrice- "I don't want to play matchmaker too soon, but Frederick and Tamashini: They got something cooking, and I'm just saying I wouldn't mind helping turn the pot hot. They are like two adorable sea horses!"
**Statitc**
Tamashini- "I like everyone. Well everyone but Shelby and Nicholas. But besides that I like everyone and I think everyone likes me. Let's keep it that way. Alanar and Frederick in particular caught my eye. Frederick..definitely got me feeling some type of way…but we're here for the game, so focus. Overall, a good solid start in my good book!"
End
Everyone looked to Shelby and Uma who hadn't yet introduced themselves.
"I'm Shelby Natalie Evans," Shelby stated. "I'm 18 and I'm a college student. And as you can tell I engage in-"
"Philosophy," everyone said at once, each with different tones (Tamashini with disdain, Nicholas with interest, Alanar with curiosity, Beatrice with acceptance, Davy with irritation, and Frederick with indifference)
"Yes, indeed, but I promise I'll try to be a valuable member," Shelby assured them. "Although I will be looking at this game through a philosophical lens, just as a disclaimer."
Confessionals
Shelby- "Right now, with the first impressions everyone is trying to make a good well…impression. With that in mind, how do we maintain our true selves? Or are people projecting the image that is more accepted in society so that they are more accepted in this marginal group? I'll have to explore that and more."
**Static**
Davy- "The less Shelby talks the better."
**Static**
Tamashini- "Would I be mean to say Shelby is kind of weird? Cause Shelby is kind of weird."
End
"Well I'm Uma, and I'm 23, so I guess I'm one of the oldest.." Uma spoke, and multiple faces turned to her, particularly Davy and Alanar, even Shelby was a bit struck. Beatrice was the only one unphased.
"I'm a waitress, but I also am a pole dancer," Uma informed them. "Also I'm Latin American. So I bring a little spice into the mix. These hips can move.."
"Davy would LOVE to see some of your work," Davy grinned as he brushed back his hair and stepped forward.
"Maybe tonight you can get a preview.." Uma teased.
"It's getting hot in here," Tamanshini joked as he jokingly fanned himself.
"Catch me if I faint," Frederick played on.
"Okay that's enough," Beatrice stepped in between Uma and Davy. "PG guys, please."
Confessionals
Davy- "The more Uma talks, the better! Her voice is like a song that I would never turn off. She could kick it with me and the boys any day. Or..maybe just me."
**Static**
Uma- "So..it seems my charms work on most. Davy. Easy pickings. Alanar. She'll fall in. The gay boys…eh, we can become friends. Shelby. Outlier. Nicholas. Decent. Beatrice. She...is just there."
**Static**
Alanar- "I didn't come for love but…Uma..she's so pretty. Like she is like perfect art come to life. Like no one can be that attractive, but I guess she can?"
**Static**
Beatrice- "Okay, so I love everyone. But Uma. I don't trust her. How do I say this in a nice way? You know how I'm a mermaid. Well she's a siren. You know like those creatures that look attractive on the outside, but want to drag you to your watery death on the inside. Yea, I get those vibes from her. I'll be nice, but I don't trust her one bit."
End
"Okay, let's settle the bedding and get it out of the way," Nicholas decided as he walked over to a bed.
"We'll share!" Frederick put his arm around Tamashini.
"Oh um..okay," Tamashini agreed as he smiled at the notion. "Works for me!"
"I'll go with..Alanar," Beatrice picked, and Alanar nodded although for a moment frowned as she looked at Uma, who met her eyes, and smiled.
Confessionals
Alanar- "I was hoping to get Uma..but it's cool. I mean we're on the same team still."
**Static**
Uma- "The name of the game is flirting. Anyone and everyone is fair game. Alanar and Davy seem the most perceptible. Those are the two I'll work on."
End
Uma then winked at Davy.
"Okay, then Davy and Nicholas-" Beatrice began.
"I'm not sharing a bed with this bloke," Davy refused at the same time as Nicholas said, "Me and him is a definite no."
"Okay then um.." Beatrice frowned.
"That's fine, I'm sure me and Davy will make do.." Uma claimed as she latched onto Davy's arm.
"Davy willingly and gladly seconds that," Davy grinned.
"And I will be with Shelby," Nicholas pulled Shelby to his side.
"I concur," Shelby agreed.
Confessionals
Shelby- "I think Nicholas has a liking for me. That's really good for my game perception. In this game perception is reality. You construct your own reality, and that shapes your game. Although I think only Nicholas has this positive perception of me, so his reality…differentiates from that of my teammates. Nicholas is different. Like me."
**Static**
Davy- "A chance to share a bed with Uma? You think I'd say no. I'm not stupid."
End
The Captain's chambers.
"I still can't believe you're here," Michigan was still gushing over Sienna. "How did Darrel get in contact with you?"
"Oh well..um.." Sienna looked to Darrel to answer.
"I remembered how big of a fan you were of her, and we happened to have a run in so yea," Darrel supplied.
"Uh huh," Caleb hummed skeptically walked in with a cup of cappuccino. "Michigan liked lots of YouTubers. How would you know this exact one?"
"Calley boy, it's called lover's intuition," Darrel answered. "You wouldn't get it even if I explained to you like a child."
Caleb scowled.
"Okay but I have so many more questions," Michigan went on looking at Sienna. "Like..what happened to your channel and why come back?"
"Right my um channel-" Sienna gulped. She nervously combed her hands through her hair. "I kind of fell off due to some controversy…but then Darrel offered me a position, and I said yes. But you'd think I wouldn't be camera shy after all those years of youtube, but I'm still a bit..antsy, but I'm okay! Definitely ready for this job still."
Caleb and Michigan shared a look.
"I don't think she's okay," Caleb whispered.
Michigan just addressed Sienna, "I was such a fan..but um..what happened?"
"I really don't like to bring up the past, but um we can talk about something else if you like," Sienna offered with an uneasy smile.
"Um actually, we don't you go clean the kitchen," Caleb directed.
"Of course, on it!" Sienna obediently rushed off.
"Hmm she is nothing like I remember," Michigan noted. "..weird."
"You're still happy though," Darrel placed a hand on Michigan's shoulder.
"I am," Michigan turned to him with a receptive smile. "But we have a lot more to talk about."
"Certainly," Darrel agreed.
"But so do we," Caleb grabbed onto Michigan. "Darrel do you mind?"
Darrel shrugged, then left.
"Michigan, something feels off to me," Caleb stated. "Like in my gut."
"You're being superstitious," Michigan rolled her eyes. "What is off about any of this?"
"Why is he bringing a random intern," Caleb took a sip of his cappuccino, before crossing his arms. "And why is he even here still? Like show up now. I'm still not over that part."
"Cause he's helping us out, did you also miss that part," Michigan retorted. "Besides he knew I liked Sienna-"
"There is no way he knew that," Caleb shook his head.
"Look, you focus on your stuff, and I focus on mine," Michigan marched away. "The only reason we broke up was cause he moved for his dad's business."
"Fine," Caleb grunted, though he wasn't pleased. "..I just know..this isn't right though..something is up..something bad."
Meanwhile, The Killer Kinkajous were heading to bed.
Phillip didn't change. Mikaio wore a baggy green t-shirt and pants.
"Man, you just wear that to bed?" Mikaio questioned.
"It's party time, all the time. I jump out of bed ready to go.." Phillip said back as he laid back in bed.
"Love that for you," Mikaio nodded his head. "I feel that."
"Hey, Miky…um what are you here for?" Phillip then asked him.
"Hmm..this might sound weird but I don't know yet," Mikaio admitted. "I mean I'm here to win. Duh. But other than that..I don't know what to find. For now I'm just along for the ride."
"Bro, I felt that," Phillip grinned.
Mikaio smirked. "So let me guess, you're here for a girl?"
"Not a girl, THE girl," Phillip corrected. "Rosalina. That Uma girl on the other team is also a hottie with a body. But we're working with what's available on the market."
"Word of advice man: take it easy. That always works for me," Mikaio supplied before he yawned, and then closed his eyes. "Also show her you..not..whatever you're doing now."
"But how do I take it easy, if they are playing hard to get," Phillip questioned, but Mikaio was already in a slumber.
"Dude..you can't leave a man hanging.." Phillip sighed.
"..sleep..need..now.." somehow Mikaio murmured in his sleep.
Confessionals
Mikaio- "I honestly want to see how this Phillip and Rosalina..thing- whatever it is plays out. As for Rosalina, I think Phillip was right about one thing. She is THE girl. The girl I should try to work with. Something about her just tells me she is a player. I may have some kind of sense, but not the common kind. So having her on my side might be good. I think?"
End
"I wonder what the girls are talking about.." Phillip murmured to himself. "At least I know what they're thinking about: Me."
Rosalina was indeed not thinking about him.
She had changed into a big white t-shirt and gray shorts.
Jolt got in bed with a baggy light blue t-shirt and dark blue basketball shorts.
"So what do you think so far.." Rosalina asked. "..about everyone."
"Too early to say, I'm more thinking about the coming challenge and how we fair in that. I think we have a well-rounded group in that case," Jolt mentioned
"Right, immunity is a necessity. Especially to avoid the first vote," Rosalina agreed. "I definitely need to see how everyone performs."
"Well you don't have to worry about me, I WILL deliver," Jolt guaranteed. "But I probably should get some proper sleep to make sure of that."
"Right.." Rosalina nodded.
"Also Rosie, can I call you that?" Jolt requested.
"For you, certainly," Rosalina allowed.
"I can trust you right..like in the game. You have my back," Jolt checked.
"You are not on my radar," Rosalina disclosed.
Confessionals
Rosalina- "She can trust me now. But..long-term is still up for debate. At the end of the day this is a game and I need to keep my options open. I don't want to pick my allies too early. I need to go forward with the best path, not just a good path. The next days to come will help find that path."
End
Melissa got dressed in a white shirt with a black bat symbol on it and some sweatpants.
Mistral carefully stashed her backpack under the bed.
Mistral hopped in bed beside her wearing a white night shirt with purple polka dots and a matching set of pants.
Melissa had taken interest in her backpack.
"What's in y-your b-backpack?" Melissa wondered.
"Ever heard of none of your business. A little some of that and a little more of you don't need to know," Mistral caustically responded.
Melissa frowned. "..you know..b-being m-mean doesn't m-make you a g-good ally.."
"Well, I'm sorry but I don't think it gets any easier from here," Minstral supposed
"W-what do you m-mean?" Melissa stuttered, sounding worried.
"Challenges, vote-offs, backstabs, and all that junk. If your biggest issue is me being mean, you're in for a rude awakening," Mistral alerted her.
"C-can't we at l-least learn m-more ab-bout each other?" Melissa requested.
"Fine, um..you're arm what's that about," Mistral stated the first thing that intrigued her.
"It w-was an ac-ccident..b-but it's a b-bit tr-traumatic to t-think about." Melissa nurtured her arm. "And y-you?"
"Hmm, something about me." She paused pretending to think. "I'm tired." With that Mistral closed her eyes, leaving Melissa with nothing.
"Just g-great.." Melissa sighed.
Confessionals
Melissa- "Is t-this alliance e-even real? I d-don't e-even know how m-much this b-benefits me. I'm still getting my f-footing in the game..this 'alliance' isn't helping. L-let's just h-hope I can get some g-good sleep. As about my arm..I n-need s-someone I can trust to open up to."
**Static**
Minstral- "Making an alliance so early was a…choice. I just wanted to speed things up and cut the bulls###. Especially considering I was the last to arrive I didn't know what relationships had formed. Now if I had my selection of allies..I wouldn't go with Melissa, but we're working with slim pickings when it comes to potential allies that's for sure."
End
Zarian had got well adjusted in bed and closed his eyes. "Night, Godfrey."
Although he looked to Godfrey who was up staring.
"You good man," Zarian questioned.
"I'm excellent..just thinking," Godfrey folded his hands behind his head.
"About?"
"The game..first impressions, strategy..you know that stuff..any thoughts on the players?" Godfrey
"I don't know really..it's really early, but I got good vibes from..everyone I would say," Zarian said back.
"Want to talk game," Godfrey then requested.
"Hmm, it's too early for that man. I'm just trying to get some sleep so I can perform well in the first challenge," Zarian admitted.
"Too early? Bro, the game started once we stepped foot on the dock..it's never too early, and if you don't start..it'll be too late," Godfrey warned. "Next you know, you'll be out."
"I'm good man, I know what I'm doing. Perform well. Keep cool, I'll be good," Zarian finally just closed his eyes.
"Hmm..okay.." Godfrey frowned.
Confessionals
Godfrey- "Zarian. Zarian. Zarian. He seems like an upright, good guy. Someone that would be a great friend. Which is exactly why he'll need to go. Anyone too nice. Too fit. Too.. . Screams target. I don't need a great friend, I need a great ally. I wanted a partner in crime, but he won't even talk game with me. Well if he doesn't want to talk game, he'll eventually be out of it. It's only a matter of time."
End
Meanwhile, on the other team they had headed to bed also.
Alanar wore a T-shirt and shorts
Beatrice joined her wearing a long orange nightgown with yellow spots.
"Interesting people right.." Beatrice whispered before she snuggled in and yawned.
"I like everyone, we're going to do just fine," Alanar hoped.
"Kindness can be quite the weapon," Beatrice advised.
"It really is," Alanar agreed. "Honestly Beatrice, me and you think a lot alike."
"I guess we do," Beatrice supposed. "Kindness is the key."
Alanar nodded, "The key to the win."
Confessionals
Alanar- "Kill them with kindness will be the optimal goal. I mean if everyone likes you, then you can't get voted off. But just cause I'm nice doesn't mean I won't be smart about it."
End
Some people that were being extra nice were Federick and Tamanshini.
Frederick was wearing some fluffy lavender pants with a white tank top that says "Princess" on it.
Tamanshini wore a black silk robe with light pink and purple dragons on it. It was
"Princess," Tamashini took notice. "You really know how to go for the cute look."
"You can call Princess that if you like," Frederick teased. "But let's talk about your outfit, cause it is giving. You weren't kidding when you said you know fashion."
Tamanshini flushed. "Nah, Freddy seems good for now. Also yea, I don't joke when it comes to fashion. But enough about me. I have fashion for days to come. What do you do? You seem quite interesting yourself, Freddy."
"Ohh, I have so much to share! For one, do you want to hear about my fanfiction? Frederick asked.
"I have all night for you- I mean the story," Tamashini stated as he settled in.
Confessionals
Tamanshini- "I like Frederick. He has a lot of energy, he is nice, bubbly, and he is..well really cute. But but but. There is a but. My mind is focused on the game. There's a game at play, and it isn't the bachelor."
End
Two people that seemed like they were playing the bachelor were Davy and Uma. Davy was dressed in a white undershirt, with red and black boxers with his band logo imprinted on them.
Uma wore pink shorts and a white top.
"We're almost matching, I always loved black and red," Uma admired Davy's shorts
"You might like them better off me, love," Davy remarked, which got a giggle out of Uma.
"So Davy.." Uma ran her hand down his bicep, and placed it on his thigh. "..tell me more about your band. What is the name again?"
"The Demon Child," Davy told her. "Sick name, eh. I do some good work on the guitar."
"That name is sooo sexy," Uma giggled, "tell me how it formed. I know a man like you definitely had a part to play..also, I always love a guy that can handle a guitar."
"It's a long story, would you mind hearing it?"
"Of course, I'd listen to you all night Davy," Uma smiled. "Anything to see your cute smile."
"There is more you can do to keep this smile on," Davy flirted.
Uma giggled.
"I just knew me and you would get along, clearly the physical chemistry is there," Uma shifted closer to him. She whispered in his ear ``..and so is the physical attraction. I like you Davy."
Davy just shifted. "And what if I said I like you to."
"Then prove it," Uma challenged.
There was more left to be said as Davy took up the dare and kissed her.
Confessionals
Uma- "They make it sooo easy. Played him like the strings on his guitar."
End
The last bed was occupied by Nicholas and Shelby. Nicholas was wearing all white, a plain white short with matching shorts. Shelby was wearing Blue and white striped pajamas.
"Shelby, if you don't mind my asking some questions..
"I love questions. Finally, I'm the one being asked," Shelby said back. "Shoot. I'm ready with answers."
"Okay, so why do you talk all weird?" Nicholas cut to the chase as he squinted his nose.
"Weird? I mean..I just talk like an intellectual and a scholar," Shelby stated. "Does that make me weird?"
"Yes," Nicholas answered bluntly. "Then also why did you come on the show?"
"Hmm..honestly cause I have questions, and I need them to be answered. It seems my path of life just directed me in this direction," Shelby responded. "Maybe it was predetermined I'd be here and we'll meet."
"You're talking weird again," Nicholas sighed. "Honestly, you are so lucky I made you my friend."
"See that's another question: Is it really morally unacceptable that I question the norms and seek explanations for what seemingly is unexplained, and is it morally acceptable that I'm outcasted just cause I don't-"
"Shelby."
"Yes?"
"You're my friend right?"
"Uh..Yes."
"And you'll like to keep being my friend."
"Yes."
"Then. Shut. Up!"
"Yes," Shelby agreed.
"And good night, darling" Nicholas then said sweetly.
There was silence in the whole room.
Everyone went to slee-
"Where do we go when we sleep," Shelby blurted.
"SHUT UP SHELBY!" This time Nicholas yelled along with Davy and Tamashini.
Confessionals
Shelby- "I accepted my role as the outsider on the team. I don't like it necessarily, but it is what it is. It doesn't bother me, and it isn't anything I haven't dealt with before. Although the only person that gravitates towards me is Nicholas. What's interesting about Nicholas is he doesn't put on a facade to advance further in the game, but rather it seems..he sticks to his inner-self. Despite how 'extra' that self may be."

The Killer Kinkajous (Day 2)
As the morning came, Mistral and Zarian were the first to rise.
"Morning Mistral, how are you doing?" Zarian greeted her.
"I'm alive," Mistral yawned as she shuffled out of bed.
"That's always good, can't wait for what today awaits," Zarian smiled. "I'm going to get changed, probably to do a quick morning stretch and workout. Want to join?"
"I'm fine doing what I'm doing which is not doing that," Mistral was busy just looking through her backpack.
"Cool, just tell me if you change your mind," Zarian left the room. "Also tell Jolt, I'll be in the restroom, she'll probably want to join."
With Zarian gone, Mistral scanned the room.
"Let's see what we can get our hands on," Mistral rubbed her hands together.
Confessionals
Mistral- "Warning: Never leave me with your stuff unguarded. Or never leave with your stuff. Period."
End
Mistral approached Jolt's pants and stuck her hand inside just to find a granola bar. "Hmm..don't mind if I do, nothing like free food."
"Now let's see-"
"What are you doing," Jolt had suddenly awoken, and was staring at Mistral.
"I was um-" Mistral was lost. "You could have at least started with good morning."
"Were you digging in MY pants," Jolt narrowed her eyes as she then hopped out of bed.
"Keep your lid on, I was just coming to tell you that Zarian was looking for you," Mistral half-lied. "I don't dig in pants, I'm not a rat last I checked."
"Well let's keep it that way," Jolt snatched up her pants.
Mistral put her hands up innocently as she walked back.
Rosalina got up hearing the interaction.
Mistral tried to stealthy swoop down and grab something from Rosalina's bag, but she already saw the look in Roslina's eyes: Don't. Even. Try.
Mistral put her hands up, bent over to seemingly tie her shoe and then walked away.
Confessionals
Mistral- "Tough crowd. Can't a girl thief in peace, geez."
End
"Do you trust that girl.." Jolt whispered to Rosalina.
"Not as far as I can throw her," Rosalina replied back.
"Her and Melissa are an odd pair," Jolt claimed as she stretched. "Welp, I'll go and find Zarian now."
Jolt left the room, as Mistral sulked as she went back to her bed. She actually was happy as she played with Rosalina's book (which she had managed to swipe when "tying her shoe"). "I love when a good thievery comes through : )."
Jolt found Zarian just leaving the bathroom.
"Morning, I found the bathrooms. Not the place the be, but they work," Zarian informed her.
"Morning, I heard you were looking for me," Jolt stated.
"Yea, morning workout buddy. Let's go for a jog," Zarian suggested with a smile.
"Now that's what I like to hear in the morning!" Jolt's face lifted.
Confessionals
Jolt- "There's nothing like a good jog in the morning! Zarian is speaking my language."
**Static**
Mikaio- Yawns. "Morning already. I got some good sleep. I think Philly dawg rolled over and might have cuddled next to me. I didn't mind..is that weird? Eh, moving on. Time to start the day. What better than to explore the boat."
End
"Mind if I join," Mikaio walked out of the room rubbing his eyes as he just woke up.
"I don't see why not," Zarian nodded.
"Well let's hit it!" Jolt had already taken off, and the two boys ran after her.
"I wasn't planning to do cardio first thing out of bed, but here I am.." Mikaio shrugged, but shuffled on behind Zarian.
Meanwhile, Phillip had gotten up and tapped on Rosalina, who spun around and almost hit him.
"Don't sneak up on me," Rosalina chastised.
"Were you going to hit me?" Phillip teased with a smirk.
"Don't tempt me," Rosalina crossed her arms.
"You are the one tempting me, with a body like that.." Phillip muttered as he casually took the time to look her up and down.
"Eyes up here," Rosalina commanded. "Now what do you want?"
"I was thinking we got off on the wrong foot, so let's rewind," Phillip smiled. "The names Phillip."
"Is that an apology?" Rosalina blinked.
"Do I have to apologize for being insanely attracted to you," Phillip remarked with a roguish smile.
"I told you, I'm here to win," Rosalina stated. "This is like a job for me."
"Well this is like a party for me," Phillip supplied.
"I guess that's the difference between me and you," Rosalina retorted as she walked away. "I'm going to get dressed."
Confessionals
Phillip- "Rosie can learn a thing or two from a guy like me. Not everything is work. Live a little, it won't kill you. Besides I don't bite. If anything I kiss like a freaking Greek god."
**Static**
Rosalina- "Phillip could learn a thing or two from me. Not everything is a party. This is a game, except this is a game, that I need to win, and if he ruins my chances because of his delusional crush it will kill him. And by it I mean me."
End
Colorful Cobras (Day 2)
The first up was Davy and Nicholas.
"Time to get ready for today's endeavors," Nicholas stretched, as he pulled himself out of bed.
"You said it mate," Davy smirked. "Also I had quite the night."
"That would be nice," Nicholas nodded at him, but then added. "if I cared to listen."
Nicholas waved him off, to which Davy sent him a look and clenched his first.
Confessionals
Davy- "If I put my hands on that man, he would need the million for a hospital bill. But to talk about important things, someone I did put my hands on was Uma. 10 out of 10, would do again. We just made out and stuff."
End
"Whatever," Davy looked over at Alanar's bed, to which Alanar was getting up.
"Morning guys.." she yawned as she rubbed her eyes.
"What did you do with Beatrice?" Davy asked.
"What did I do with-" Alanar turned to see the empty spot beside her in bed "She was here- I swear."
"Let's not focus on idle matters," Nicholas grabbed Alanar. "Let's focus on making our team flag."
"I guess I'll find Beatrice then," Davy decided as he left the room.
Confessionals
Nicholas- "The only people that matter, other than me, is Shelby and Alanar. Beatrice is an honorable mention. The others don't provide much of interest."
**Static**
Alanar- "She was in bed. I promise. People don't just disappear um-?"
End
Tamashini and Frederick both got up at the same time.
"Morning!" Tamashini chirped. He noticed Nicholas and Alanar working on something.
"Mind if I assist," Tamanshini headed over. "My expertises will really shine through."
"Join in," Alanar accepted, before Nicholas could object.
"And what about-" Frederick ran over.
"I think we're good," Nicholas stated, and Tamanshini and Alanar gave him sympathetic shrugs.
Meanwhile, Davy walked out to find Alanar.
He saw Jolt running by.
"Ey, you," He jumped in front of her, only for her to curve around him.
"When my feet is moving, my mouth isn't," She retorted as she zoomed ahead.
"Well screw you too," Davy scowled as he watched her turn the corner.
After Jolt came Zarian and Mikaio.
"Have you two seen, Beatrice?" Davy asked.
They both pointed in a certain direction.
Davy followed, and eventually came to a room with a pool. Something was moving in the water. Out came Beatrice, her short hair swishing fluidly.
Confessionals
Beatrice- "I can't resist the pull of the water. I just got up and had to go for a swim. What can I say, it's my life."
End
Beatrice didn't notice Davy as she performed acrobat tricks. She was a natural in the water, you'd think she was born there.
"You really love the water don't you," Davy called out to her.
Beatrice finally saw Davy.
"Morning Davy," Beatrice swam over to him. "Is everyone up?"
"Almost. You had the folks quite shook," Davy said. "Not Davy though."
"I just love the water..and nothing is more lovely than a morning swim," Beatrice shrugged. "I didn't mean to scare you guys."
"It's okay, Davy knows how you feel. When you love something, nothing can stop you from doing it," Davy claimed.
"Exactly!" Beatrice grinned. "What do you love, Davy?"
"My band," Davy stated pridefully. "It's like my baby born from my awesomeness."
"Of course, you'll have to let me hear you play sometime," Beatrice said. "I could even sing with you."
To that Davy nodded. "Davy will keep that in mind. Let's head back."
"Also I stopped by the kitchen, and already got the whole team breakfast," Beatrice mentioned.
"You really are a nice lass, aren't ya," Davy noted.
"Aren't we all," Beatrice said as she got out of the water.
"Trust me love, Davy ain't nice. Neither is some of our fellow teammates," Davy assured her.
Confessionals
Beatrice- "I got all my teammates food. I am planning to make myself the team mom. It should help me in the game. Let's be honest, who would vote out their mom?"
**Static**
Davy- "Beatrice is strange. Interesting but bloody strange. Davy doesn't deal with nice girls a lot. Beatrice is for sure a nice girl."
End
Davy carried Beatrice, hoisting her out of the water.
"Can you tell me what you mean by you aren't nice.." Beatrice wondered.
"Davy is Davy," Davy said. "..you don't know Davy. Not Davy Davy."
"That isn't much of an answer..or at least an answer I can interpret in English," Beatrice frowned. "I don't know you Davy..but I assure you that I want to."
"Well answer me this, why do you wear a mermaid suit," Davy questioned in return.
"Okay fair question, but let's get the team their food first, before we dive into that," Beatrice said.
Meanwhile, Melissa stirred awake.
She saw Mistral.
"M-morning Mistral, w-what are you r-reading?" Melissa inquired.
"I don't know, I'm trying to figure that out myself," Mistral flipped through the pages. "..it's such a bore."
Melissa saw the title. "Hey..that looks like something Rosalina would read."
Mistral just stared at her with a face that said 'no duh.'
"W-wait it is s-something Rosaline w-would read- did you s-steal t-that?!" Melissa
"Shh," Mistral put a finger to her lips. "Not steal. Just..um I borrow, with a no return policy. Besides, this book is something anyone with taste wouldn't miss."
"J-just know I'm not a p-part of t-this," Melissa frowned.
"Whatever," Mistral placed it in her bag. "Too bad, cause as my ally you kind of are."
"Morning, what are you ladies discussing," Godfrey who had been watching from afar inserted himself.
"Stealing- whose stealing- I'm not stealing," Melissa laughed aw
"Nothing, boring girl stuff," Mistral covered up. "Melissa is just..had a
"Well let's go get breakfast," Godfrey claimed.
—
In the team room, everyone was up.
"And that's how you write it in Chinese," Alanar finished adding some touches to the team flag. She had drawn a cobra, and wrote some words in chinese.
Tamanshi added everyone's name in cursive.
"Absolutely fabulous," Nicholas grinned as he wrote the team name, and added in some small details.
"It's..well, interesting," Shelby nodded her head. She had nothing to contribute.
Confessionals
Alanar- "I love it when art comes together. Oh and the team coming together is nice too."
**Static**
Tamashini- "Teamwork makes the team…. work? That's how it goes right? Either way, I don't think there has been a team as stylish like…ever!"
End
"Lovely," Uma stood by Alanar.
"You think?" Alanar blushed.
"I know, I saw it with my own eyes," Uma asserted. "Keep up the good work."
"Can I add the glitter!" Frederick requested.
"Um..I can't see how the likes of you could mess that up," Nicholas shrugged.
"Glitter away, Freddy," Tamanshini handed Federick some glitter. "These are my favorite colors."
"Let me work my magic," Frederick sprinkled the glitter onto the poster.
It was complete.
Just then the door to the room opened.
"Who's hungry!" Davy screamed and ran in with Beatrice holding plates of food.
"There you are, where were you?" Alanar looked at Beatrice.
"Swimming," Beatrice answered.
"Swimmimg.." Shelby stroked her chin as she eyed Beatrice.
Confessionals
Shelby- "There is no true evidence that Beatrice is fully human. What is she?"
End
"And you brought as food, how sweet," Tamanshini noticed. "Beatrice you're the best!"
"Aww stop, we're the best, and we'll totally rock today's challenge," Beatrice encouraged.
"That's the spirit!" Tamashini smiled.
They all dived into the food which they found to be decent. It was a serving of fruits, yogurt, and toast.
"Feast your eyes on the team flag, in its magnificent glory!" Nicholas held the flag up. "Credit to ME, Alanar, Tamanshini- (Tamanshini elbowed him and pointed to Frederick) oh and I guess Frederick did a little something too."
"We'll obliterate the other team!" Davy screamed.
"Especially after a good night's rest," Uma stretched as she winked at Davy.
"Yea for sure.." Davy winked back. He walked over. "How did you sleep?"
"Just as good as you," Uma smiled.
Confessionals
Davy- "I don't know what relationship me and Uma have. All I know is she is hot as hell. I think she likes me, so I ain't passing that up. It's not really a thing-thing though."
End
"What was so good about your sleep?" Alanar tilted her head.
"Agreed, these beds aren't even that comfortable," Tamashini pointed out.
"Trust me, the beds had nothing to do with it," Uma alluded to her night, eyeing Davy.
"Hmm.." Alanar looked between the two of them, as did the rest of the team.
Soon an alarm went off and everyone was called to the mess hall.
"Time to go," Nicholas and Alanar carried the flag.
Jolt, Zarian, and Mikaio jogged in to the mess hall. The other team members trailed in slowly and stood by them.
The Colorful Cobras came in with the team flag.
Once they arrived they saw Caleb waiting for them.
"Hello contestants, I hope you guys had a good sleep," Caleb greeted them.
"I've had better," Mistral crossed her arms.
"Excellent," Davy smiled.
"Seriously..what happened?" Beatrice now was concerned.
"Just some making out," Uma disclosed with a pleased smile.
To that her teammates gasped. Nicholas extra loud for no reason.
Confessionals
Alanar- "On the first day..that's interesting. That's all I can say. Totally not jealous. *Whisper* It should have been me.."
**Static**
Tamashini- "I'm just going to be upfront. Kissing on night 1 is wildin like what the heck-"
**Static**
Davy- "-do I have to do to get that experience again. I don't care what anyone says, it was worth it."
End
"Colorful Cobras, nice name and the flag is looking good," Caleb acknowledged.
Nicholas did a courtesy. "You shouldn't have expected any less!"
Caleb looked to the other team. "Name?"
"Killer Kinkajou," Mikaio provided.
"What the heck is a kinkajou?!" Davy bellowed, before laughing.
"That's what I said," Mistral piped up, and the two both snickered.
"Hmm, creativity points for the name..it's unique," Caleb just nodded. "But time to get to the challenge."
"That's what I'm waiting for!" Jolt jumped with eagerness.
"Being the first challenge, it isn't too crazy," Caleb told them. "For this challenge you will be a scavenger hunt. 4 items: being flags in 4 locations. The first part is put together your map though. Once it's assembled. Race to the locations, and retrieve a designated item. Then meet me at the deck. First team there wins immunity and will not be sending anyone home. Got it?"
Everyone made it clear that they understood.
"Go ahead and strategize, before we begin," Caleb then directed.
Both teams then huddled together.
Confessionals
Zarian- "Okay, so jogging around the boat actually came in clutch. We saw some locations. So I think we should be ahead."
**Static**
Frederick- "Losing the first challenge isn't an option. Like who would we even send home? So we're so winning this!"
End
**Commercial Break**
