The game of Love or Run!

(Thanks)
Lili
Lili starts looking around for "Kole Kitzman". All that was running through her mind was "Please don't have a beard. Please don't have a beard.." Anything ELES she truly didn't care. All the sudden she thought "If he plays drums. Likes cars. And has an addiction to cosplay.. That would be best. That would be my dream" she looks around for Kole which she didn't even meet yet.
 
Mona Fiorella Voclain.

While following Will to whichever room he'd choose, she walked off the easy path for a moment to quickly drop her things onto the fluffiest bed she saw and went back after her partner. Her heels click-clacked against the floor as she tried to sneak peaks into each of the rooms. It sounded silly, but Mona just wanted to make sure that none of the other rooms or beds looked comfier than hers. The only thing she could really control at the moment was how happy she'd be when she got to finally go to bed, and Mona would most likely lose it if she found out her bed wasn't at its prime. She was so out of it she absentmindedly wandered into Will's chosen room, not phased by the furniture and barely hearing the speech Will was making.

Mona started to wonder what her family was doing. She knew her 2 older brothers were watching the show and trying to find anything to use against Mona when she came back, but she had no idea as to what her parents could be doing. Her mom was always busy with her job, working for Vogue and all, so she just assumed she was probably stuck in a cramped office being pestered by her coworkers about her daughter going on such a "cheesy" show. Mona was closer with her dad, and figured he was busy doing surgeon things. It always made the only girl in her family feel awkward being stuck in a family of rich go-getters. Not that Mona wasn't, but at her age her brothers co-owned 4 different casinos, and her parents were traveling around the world. She was on an island that God knows where with only 2 people she didn't want to push back on the boat outside, and in the dorm-room of a guy she didn't even know. Her mind instantly snapped back to Will at the thought. "...Well then we'll deal with that when the time comes. Sound good to you?"

Mona was leaning against a sleek wallpaper wall with her hands tucked behind her skirt and one of her legs bent when she got out of the trance. "Yeah!" She replied on instinct, doing surprisingly well to hide the fact she had zoned out. Mona just bit the corner of her bottom lip and took a few steps closer to the bed across from her. "Now that we got that out of the way, tell me a little about yourself." Mona said with a sudden new aura. "You know, interests and stuff."

Grinning guilty as charged, he raised his hands as the rules were mentioned. Well he did catch the figurine, didn't he? But of course, he's not letting something like that happen again. "My bad," he said softly to the camera angled at him, breaking a sweat at Mona's laughing. He then returned his hands in his pockets and made sure he was away from anything expensive looking before paying attention to Chris once more. As the host rambled on, he snapped to reality and took out a small pen and notepad from one of the pockets of his duffel bag. He'd better write everything down before he forgets the most important things.. That would suck in the end if he gets disqualified for not following instructions..

Scribbling notes of the most important details, he paused when Chris began to announce the partners. Honestly, this part made him slightly nervous. He wished he would get along well with his teammate and he secretly hoped that she would be his type.. Who wouldn't, right? This is after all a game with romance involved.. Question is, what if he gets paired off with someone he could never relate to?

As the pictures flashed randomly, he saw his name and picture and hoped for the best.

It was the cheeky cheerleader..

Hiding his pen and pad back to its respective pockets, he looked away from the screen in search of the girl. Johnny racked his brain to find something they have in common and so far, he could only come up with one thing which admittedly wasn't bad at all. He could definitely be her lifter, that's for sure.. He had done it a couple of times in school so he could do it again. Piece of cake. He sighed, exhaling his nervousness away as he approached her. Johnny had to look at the screen again to remember her name. Why did he have to be paired up with the popular chick now? The freerunner tried not to appear too star struck. That would be a bad impression. Alright, now that that's fixed, he'd better say something at least before unpacking his things..

"Delighted to meet you! Johnny Caelan at your service. You ready to win this thing?"

While Chris had been explaining the rules, May-Linn had simply just ended up leaning back against the wall, listening in. The rules were simple enough, actually not too different from many of the competitions they had traveled to with the cheering. No breaking things, no cheating. Well... That depended on what they defined as cheating. Would flirting with more than just one person count as flirting? If so... She had no chance to promise that at least.
She saw the photos that came up and she sighed though. Why did they have to use that photo? Like, they could have taken from when they were doing something more fun, rather than just coming up from an Aerial with her hair in the wrong way. How about when they were down in the splits? That showed a whole lot better her skills than the picture that they showed.
Yet, she had to be with the free runner? Why not more of a football guy? That was who she was used to dealing with anyway.
But she would manage this. After all, it was just to flirt and bat her eyes, and maybe show off her flexibility.

So when the guy came over to her, she smiled, two rows of pearly white teeth showing. "Hey Johnny" Giving a small wink she corrected the duffel bag hanging on her shoulder, and held out her hand. "I'm determined we'll manage to win, and please, just call me May or Linn, May-Linn is such a mouthful" She was confident, she could be cheeky, and hell, she would win this. After all, she wasn't a cheerleader to end up a loser.
 
Sierra was jamming now as she turned on her heels and started to flow to the music. She was smiling as she two stepped the entire way to the girls cabin as she whispered the words to the sound. She just arrived at the cabin when Lizzy tapped her arm moments after, and Sierra flashed her warm smile, taking one ear bud out and she put her arm on her shoulder and nodded and she started to jamming with Lizzy, just rocking back an forth as she was spit out the chorus of the song,

"I'm digging you, I'm feeling you
And you know what's up
Said I'm big on you and I'm wanting you
So tell me what's up"

She laughed light heartedly. "Yeah, that sounds cool. I'm down with that." She took a look around the place as she took her backpack off her back. "These ones Lizzy!" She went over to the closest one to the beach and claimed them for her and Lizzy. The two closest one to the beach on the girl side. She threw her backpack down on the bed and started to unpack. "Justin's waiting for me in main hall, I'm so glad he's my partner I gotta say. How about you Liz? How's it going with you and your partner? What's his name?" She took out a picture frame of her lil sis and her having ice-cream fight, and she put it on the night stand and she unfolded her clothes and all them in the dresser and didn't use any closet space.

Kole didn't even talk to anybody here yet. He wasn't very talkative, except around his close friends back home.
He looked around to find Lili. After some time of searching, Kole saw the girl looking around as well, most likely for him.
He walked up to Lili and introduced himself, "Hey, I'm Kole."
 
Johnny took her hand in a firm handshake while having the free one habitually take hold of the strap of his bag. With the way this girl looked with her ponytail and her simple outfit, he was able to tell that she was quite the active type. Of course, being a cheerleader, she needed to be full of energy and spunk. He didn't mind at all really, but sometimes it makes him wonder if they hide a lot of things behind that smile of theirs as well. With that said, he took a mental note to tread carefully around this girl. He wouldn't want to end up upsetting anyone and never get a clue now, would he? Johnny had been well-educated of that kind of attitude of some cheerleaders. Seeing Tristan - one of his best buddies present in his audition video along with Rob - fall for one who took him for granted and pretended that everything was okay was beyond devastating. He felt bad for the guy. Being so blind in love, he set aside all the girl's shortcomings and he kept falling for her charm every time he realizes that he had had enough. But of course, who was he to judge every cheerleader in the world and stereotype them to be of that type? Johnny had to be open-minded too. But one thing's for sure though,

I'd better not fall easy for her charms.. He thought to himself as he watched her wink at him, mentally strapping and pulling his ego with a harness into submission of not taking her flirtatious gestures personally. "Alright. 'May' it is from now on." He responded as he let go of her hand, returning her smile with a cheeky grin of his own. He then nodded to the duffel bag hanging from her shoulder, aware of it now with the way she corrected its strap. Johnny being Johnny, his nurturing side kicked in. "We should choose our rooms then. I can carry that for you while you decide, if you like." Right. Girls take long to decide on things. Like, how hard is it to decide what to wear? It made him curious. But nevertheless, he thought that it might be tiresome and such a hassle for May to walk around while looking for the perfect room for herself, thus volunteering to assist her with her bag at least. Not that he is trying to impress anyone here or anything.. He was just brought up that way.

She sighed, puffing a strand of blond hair out of the way. "Anyhow, normally people don't really get to know me this way but since we are partners." She said before dropping the façade in for a soft smile. "Let's win this together."

She has a lovely smi--stop that! I'm here for Michael. An' it sounds like she's here to win too. She won't want me gettin' all moony over her. "Aye. So, uh...what would ye like t' do with the money?"



Imojen, maroon
@Raijinslayer

"I'm glad you like them, all too often I have to listen to snide remarks about how I should 'realize how stupid I must look.' Luckily, I have plenty of self-confidence to not be upset by such petty remarks."

"OK," Imojen said, following his pointed glance toward Korrey. It was fairly obvious the two didn't like each other. Her expression went from concern, to giving Korrey a smile. She planned on remaining friendly with both boys regardless of their attitude toward each other.

"So, shall we meet back here later once we've situated ourselves in our selective rooms? I'm sure that you don't want to be stuck holding all of your luggage and lil' Myakiznak while we do the next challenge, am I right?"

"Yeah, I guess we should settle in. See you back here in a few minutes?" Something seemed at bit...off about Sebastian, like he was just pretending to be nice. She got that almost as often as outright meanness. But, that was a wall to quantum-tunnel through when she got to it. Rolling her luggage to an unclaimed room, she shook her tutu to make sure it wasn't still dripping, then opened the door and went inside. "Huh. So this is Casa Imogene, eh Myakiznak?" she said, setting him down on the bar so he'd have a nice view. "Fancy!" The modern aesthetic was a bit stark by her standards, but it was still quite nice. She opened her bigger suitcase and quickly hung her dresses so they wouldn't wrinkle too badly. A couple she spritzed with water from a spray bottle so they would straighten out as they dried. "Enjoy the sunset, I'll be back after the challenge," she said to Myakiznak, then headed back to the main hall to meet Sebastian. "Hi! I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long. So. What do you hope for from this?" she asked.
 
Chris
an soft sound dinged over the loudspeakers before Chris spoke over them "you have 30 minutes left oh and I recommend wearing a swimsuit for the first challenge see you in thirty minutes" with that the speakers cut out.

Will
will paused as he listened to the message and then looked at Mona "clearly our first challenge involves swimming. Now to answer your question my hobbies or mostly sports any kind of physical activity is fun for me. But I also enjoy reading and as you already know learning different languages and other such things people like to judge me as a brainless jock but I find it amusing to prove them wrong about that." He sets his bag down on the bed and sits next to it "family wise Im an only child and live with my mom and dad that's pretty much it." He looks at her and gives her his most charming smile "what about you?"
@parisa
Justin
Justin listened to the announcement and shrugged he quickly went back to his room and changed into a pair of green and white swim trunks and then made his way back to the main hall. he noticed Sierra wasn't back yet so he sat down and leaned back to wait.

Sebastian

Upon Imojen's return, Sebastian dismissed her worries with a wave of his hand. "No worries, in fact you came right on time." He finished as Chris gave his announcement. "looks like we'll have to hurry back to our rooms to grab our swim clothes, interesting choice for a first challenge, but I'm game. As for what I hope to get from this, I'd say the money. However, I'm not totally adverse to the idea of finding love, so if it finds me, it finds me." With that Sebastian gave a quick wave good-bye as he rushed to his room, closing the door behind him. Once it was shut, he couldn't contain himself anymore and broke down into a fit of laughter. "Dammit, I thought I had gotten a handle on this. Guess marathoning a bunch f cheesy Rom-Coms to numb me to such mushy garbage didn't work. Oh well, I've let her know my intentions, and I'm confident in my ability to keep a straight face wen push comes to shove." Once he had recollected himself, he changed into a pair of black swim trunks he had taken just in case hey had a water themed challenge. A precaution he didn't think he was going to need, but seems like he was mistaken.

Korrey

'Fuck,fuck, fuck', Korrey tore at his hair in his room, having rushed back the moment Chris had mentioned swimming. He didn't think they'd be doing any type of swimming challenges, so he hadn't brought any type of swimwear, 'Fuck, what am I going to do now, ugh, um ,you know what, fuck, I just use go in some boxers, covers the same amount of skin. so it should be fine, right, yeah right.' With that in mind, Korrey quickly stripped down to his boxers, which were just a plain shade of black, taking off the laces of his shoes to tie around the waist, so as to prevent embarrassing slippage. He was all set to go back out, when he realized one hugely important detail:He couldn't where his sunglasses in the pool. If any one was near his room right then, they were subjected to hear him come up with several creative curses, swears, as well as the tried and true 'Fuck" over and over gain for about 5 minutes, before he burst out of it and made a beeline for the main hall. Once their, he'd take a seat in one of the chairs, head down, and foot tapping like crazy. Monty was left in the rom, due to the fact that he hated water with a passion, something that made bathing him a rather painful endeavor when ever it needed to be done.

"First challenge, and I already have the worst luck in challenges, fuck my life." He moaned as he gripped his head, doing his best to keep his eyes hidden for as long as possible.

'My swim suit? Already?' Seeing the rooms that Sierra Rose found, Lizzy excused herself and went to get changed. It was a light blue one piece, that went down to the top of her thighs. She then started to look for her swimming goggles that were the same prescription as her glasses. Wanting to wait till they got to the challenge to put them on, Lizzy went back to the main hall to look for Korrey. She found him a nervous wreak, murttering under his breath.

"K-Korrey? Are you alright? I'm sure we'll do just fine in this challenge, as long as we work together." Lizzy could tell if she was talking to Korrey or herself.

Korrey

Korrey, jumped slightly as he head Lizzy's voice but didn't look up at her fully, only taking a quick glance at her from underneath his hair. She was wereing a rather conservative peace, but is suited her. He scratched at his head, before taking a breath, and hesitantly raising his head. He wouldn't mention his eyes and he really, really hoped that Lizzy wouldn't recoil from him upon seeing them. "The challenge isn't an issue as much as my lack of prep. I didn't really expect for their to be a swimming challenge, so I have no swim trunks. I improvised with a pair of boxers and some shoelaces, but this is not a promising start for me is it?" He laughed humorlessly, his foot still tapping wildly as he waited for Lizzy's reaction to his eyes, hope and dread mixing to form an tight knot in his stomach.

Alex looked at him, and blinked a little bit. "Oh, I have no use for money." She said softly as she adjusted her hand guards. "All of it would just go strait to my bank account, it would barely make a dent." she said softly, settling the gauze back in place before looking back at him. As she heard the voice over the loud speaker, she looked back at him. "Best to be prepared for the competition early. Want to go now?" She asked softly.

When Lizzy looked into Korrey's eyes, her brain clicked so fast with excitement

"Oh my gosh! You're eyes are just like an anime character! One of my favorites has red eyes and he-" Lizzy was about to go into all the details of this character when the rest of what Korrey said kicked in. Mainly the fact the he was in his underwear.

"M-m-maybe C-c-Chris has a pair for you t-t-to use. W-we should a-at least ask." Lizzy's face was red hot, she only seen boys in their boxers in her comic books or anime, never in real life.

@IceQueen

I put my foot in it, didn't I? Assumin' she wants money, Andrew thought. How rich does she gotta be, if five. hundred. thousand. American would get lost in her pocket change? "That's good...I mean, some people never get enough no matter how much they got. I'm doin' this for me broother Michael. He--"

Chris' voice interrupted him over the loudspeaker. A swimming competition?

"Best to be prepared for the competition early. Want to go now?" Alex said.

"Aye," he replied. "I'll be right back." Somehow, seeing Alex's Mask of Cool go back on made his heart sink. It felt like failure.

The hotel room was by far the swankiest place he'd ever been in, but he didn't really have time to take it in. He plunked his duffel on the bed, opened it and rooted around for his swimming trunks, got changed into them and took off his shirt. He had hard, wiry muscles forged by work, rather than the bulgier kind artfully sculpted in gyms. He did a couple practice butterfly strokes to limber up, then headed back out to find Alex.



Imojen, maroon
@Raijinslayer

Imojen nodded to Sebastian's reply, then watched him hurry off. On her way back to her room to change, Imojen recalled his introduction. He hadn't exactly denied the things Chris said about him, which meant that what she had to be seeing now was his 'innocent act.' Which meant, he would have to spend the whole time here lying and pretending, and that would have to suck, wouldn't it? OK, so what do I do? I don't want him to be miserable the whole time because he's stuck with me. But if Chris let us switch so he could have the partner he wants, would they team up and be mean to people? As long as he has to keep up an innocent act, he has to act...innocent, right? Maybe I can try to help him have fun anyway.

Imojen changed into her flower skirt swimsuit, printed in a pattern of blue dots on green that seemed to move and roil as if it had a life of its own. "Hi Sebastian," she said. She was barefoot now, and if anything, her feet looked even weirder without the special shoes she usually wore. She was used to the stares and comments by now, and there wasn't really any point in trying to hide them, was there?

Alex smiled a little bit, feeling kind of an air of awkwardness surround them. Maybe it was to early bot bring up money. She bit her lip softly as she started heading towards her room. She separated from her partner and found her room, pulling up her bag and placing it on the bed. She was used to packing and re packing, but what she hadn't really thought about was how much skin she was going to show with the clothes she had. She searched around in her bag until she pulled out her simple white bikini, sighing as she slipped it on and threw her hair back into a ponytail, taking off her hand tape before walking towards the door.

She could see herself in the mirror, and she bit her lip. Muscles rippled from every spot, well structured, and full. It even intimidated herself just standing here. She crossed her arms over her stomach, wrapping her arms around her hips as she looked back at her bag before opening the door, and walking out, seeing Andrew. She smiled softly, and tightened her grip, a soft blush coming to her face.

Korrey

Korrey was about to ask why they should trouble the host with something as silly as a pair of swim trunks, when he saw that Lizzy's face was getting really red. 'Ohhhh, that's why, but why does it matter, it covers the same area with about the same amount of coverage, maybe a little more with swim trunks, but come on'. Normally, Korrey would have just stayed in his boxers, but he saw how uncomfortable it was making her and didn't want to make things awkward. "Okay, I'll go ask, just stay here okay. And, uh, thanks for not making fun of, ya know, this." He made a gesture to his eye before walking up to Chris, hoping he wasn't about to make himself look like even more of a screw up and an idiot.

"Hey Chris, I was wondering, ya wouldn't happen to have an extra pair of swim trunks lying around would ya, I didn't bring any because, i don't think things through. And while I improvised, as you can see, my partner seems to be a bit put off by it, so I figured I should ask for her sake."

@AmerillaRose

Sebastian

Sebastian nodded, showing a small amount of surprise when he saw Imojen's feet. 'No wonder she seemed so clumsy, hmmm, considering how she holds herself, it can't be used against her for any great affect. Seems I'm not the only one with a good bit of self-confidence.' This made him more weary of her though, as she was probably bullied a lot in the past, and one thing he knew about people who had been bullied, they became very perceptive and apt at seeing through false kindness. He doubted the girl trusted him much at the moment, and slightly regretted not putting up more resistance over his archetype. Oh well, what was done was done and no point in whining about it now.
"Hello Imojen, may I say that is a very suiting bathing suit, though I can't look at it with out getting a headache. Certainly an interesting choice to match an interesting girl."
 
img-thing

Sierra stopped unpacking when the announcement was heard and her eyes scanned around quickly for her bikini. When Lizzy excused herself she gave her a friendly smile with a nod as she looked around for her swimsuit. She knew she'd be swimming sometime, being it 's her second favorite activity to do. She found her bright purple bandeau top and that tied around her neck and her bottoms had a fashion scoop design with sequence metal rings that attached to the sides for looks. She went to the bathroom and quickly changed, re-adjusted her ponytail and put on her Nike black flip flops that Velcro on the top.
Sierra left the room and looked down the hall where Justin waited for her leaned back in a chair. She looked rather good in this bright purple bikini that matched her eyes and hair. Her hips were swaying side to side as her red rose tattoo on her left hip was clearly revealed. She grinned sweetly as she looked at Justin and winked. She put her hands on her hips as she stopped right in front of him and said, "You ready for this?"
