Day 3, overnight

[snackcakeordeath]

[Just before the time votes generally get announced, the smoke alarm in the basement starts giving an ear-splitting buzz. Hope you weren't trying to get some quiet time in your dressing room, since for a good five, ten minutes, it is not very quiet.

[Then, thankfully, the alarm shuts off abruptly. A moment later, Little Debbie herself comes shrieking over the monitors. She looks furious.]

What in the world do you devil squares think you're doing!? You had to do this today? Really? First, the cold fishest of dates, then the world's most boringest voting, and now you're messing up our stuff? Don't you know what all we're dealing with here!?

Seriously, if it wasn't such an important day, you guys'd be in sooo much trouble! So give your praises for my my sweet fucking demeanor-slash-absolute lack of time right now for dealing with this dollar bin garbage, and start getting your keisters in gear! Romance is a legitimate genre, just look at the book sales! And I want a piece of that Fabio pie! So you nutty buddies are gonna get out there, you're gonna date, there's gonna be some sparks, and we're gonna get top trending numbers tomorrow, or else!

[The girl stomps her foot, near tantrum; Swiss Miss takes over.]

Whatever you think you've done, it did not work. No more mini-marshmallows until you improve. Marshmallows are for closers.



PS, Kimi and Elise are dead.

[also shrugs. whatever she didn't know those people]

My group didn't get up to much. So it must've been someone else. Can't really guess 'bout that. It seems kinda obvious our hosts aren't happy with things even other than that, though.

[i_like_ike]

I don't know what they expected. This is hardly the most romantically inclined group.

[fastandloose]

Guess not. Maybe they thought threatenin' people with death would help, but mostly that just seems to make people want to not die.

Got any more ideas on that, now?

[i_like_ike]

It's difficult to say. They seem to be killing people completely arbitrarily. With the points gone, there's no longer even the pretense of a fair game.

[fastandloose]

...Prob'ly I shouldn't've expected anythin' like a fair game from somethin' like this in the first place. They've still gotta put on a good show, though, right?

[i_like_ike]

So they do. Maybe it's time we gave them one.

[fastandloose]

Yeah? You got somethin' in mind?

[i_like_ike]

Nothing concrete yet...

But do you know where you're sleeping tonight?

[fastandloose]

[blinks]

Uh, prob'ly just grabbin' a bed like before. Why?

[i_like_ike]

If there's someone you trust enough to bunk with, I'd advise you do so. Showing our hostesses the behavior that they wish to see from us may appease them somewhat.

[fastandloose]

[she flusters a bit at that]

...Right. Well, I wouldn't exactly mind. Might be harder to find someone with an interest from the other end, though.

Are you gonna do it with your friend?

[i_like_ike]

If he is amenable to the idea. I imagine Ranulf will probably want to worm his way in as well.

[Clear annoyance on that second part. Ike would go and let the cat sleep on the bed.]

...Well, I'd imagine you can probably do better for yourself, but at that rate, one more would make little difference.

[fastandloose]

[THAT shocks her enough that her attempts to conceal her surprise are completely doomed to failure]

...You're invitin' me in with you?

[i_like_ike]

Logistically it may become cumbersome, but there's a certain practicality to having our allies at hand.

[fastandloose]

Allies, huh.

[she gives him a long look.]

...Well, sure. Ain't anywhere I'd rather be.

[i_like_ike]

[simply nods]

I'm going to drag him into the game room. There should be plenty of room in there.

[fastandloose]

Sounds good. I can meet you there.
