I looked at her hoping I didn’t hurt her or something. Her hair was an orangey-red colour and she had a piercing on her bottom lip.
“It’s fine, but watch where you’re going next time unless you want a knee in the-”
I chuckled slightly and wondered why she stopped talking when I noticed the cameras moving closer to her face. “Oh, f-ck off.”
I looked at her and then back at the cameras. “Back off, y’all are already annoying me.” I said slightly irritated. I rolled my eyes and looked back to where she was standing but she already continued to walk again. “Just going to leave like that? Without an introduction…?” I called after her loudly and letting a smirk appear on my face.
Me and Zara started walking over to the campfire. Honestly, I was glad that I was making a potential friend. “I doubt you’ll have any time to relax,”
“That sounds horrible because I’m usually at my best when I relax. Trust me, you don’t want to see me when I panic so thats why i think positively” I said while chuckling nervously. “So, what do you think about all of this?”
“To be honest…I’m scared. I know that sounds weird but I don’t do well in competitions. How are you so calm in all this?” I asked her.
@aesthetic Zara I didn’t see it until I scrolled up.
Sky laughed at her joke. “That’s a good one. For me, really, it all depends on the prize, though.” He thought for a second. “I’ve always been better in a supporting role than as a leader. I’d probably team up with someone so that we could both get closer to winning. Then when it comes down to it… The best man will win. And that will probably be me.” He said, half joking. He winked cheekily.
He noticed the way she was looking at him, slightly judgemental. “Okay, I can tell what you’re thinking, and yes, I am wearing Siberian Gold Jeffree Star Skin Frost.” He joked. “But in all seriousness, I can tell you have some… questions about my fashion sense. Would you like to ask me something?”
@Kbail (Brenda)
“Back off, y’all are already annoying me.”
I heard the guy speak to the cameramen behind me and sighed as I kept walking with my suitcase in hand.
"Just going to leave like that? Without an introduction…?”
I stopped in my tracks and looked back at him. “Well, how about you catch up first?” I placed my things down as I waited for him since he was still behind with the cameramen that were bothering me. Once he caught up, I picked my thing up and continued walking. “I’m Wren, and you are…?”
@glxwingAngel - Carter James (Sorry for controlling him slightly when I said that he caught up!)
Brenda looked him up and down. He’s not fooling me She thought. “You’re probably one of those people that say that they cant do it but then they end up winning, but that’s not happening this time.” She said. He pointed out the fact that she noticed his style. "Its that obvious I was looking huh? Well, I suppose I could ask you how you got into this style. I mean it’s obvious that you look different from others. intentional or not She said under her breath. Brenda didn’t like when people got more attention than her at all.
@GlitterFist Silas
I looked at the girl again but I looked away at the sound of the host’s voice as he told us to get off the dock. I hurried off the dock, as I didn’t want to be on it any longer than I had to. It still looked like it would collapse. So I headed off the doc and found a spot on the ground as looked around at everyone. I started picking at my nails again, but stopped remembering what the girl had said. I just played with my fingers and cracked my knuckles while waiting for anything else to happen
@euphoriaa - Esme mentioned
APPROACHABLE
Sky raised an eyebrow at her. This girl was already making him excited to go into the confessional booth. He’d always been proud of his ability to read other people, espescially women, and he could tell from her eyes that she was thinking something snakey. “Not happening this time, huh? I guess we’ll see.” Silas said with another wink. Inside, though, he wasn’t joking. If not the competition, he at least wanted to beat her. He couldn’t stand cocky people.
He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “I guess you could say that I’m a bit of a weeaboo. I’ve always had an affinity for Japanese culture and street fashion. This is a genre of Japanese fashion called decora. It’s basically taking everything that’s bright and colorful and makes you happy and wearing it on your sleeve. I just thought it fitted me. It helps me to always find a bright side.” He smiled. “Though I suppose from afar it just looks like I’m looking for attention, doesn’t it?” He asked, giggling.
@Kbail (Brenda)
After taking a seat I was quite bored, didn’t know who to talk to. I decided to turn my head and start talking to whoever was right next to me. Since nobody was behind me, nobody was to my right, and I didn’t want to talk to the person in front of me so they wouldn’t have to turn their head to continue talking to me I looked to my right to spot a beautiful short haired girl who was picking her nails. Doing something with your nails that doesn’t make them more beautiful is usually a nervous reaction so I looked at her and asked “Nervous?”
Location: Camp Dock.
“On the contrary, I signed up. But for a luxurious camp competition. Not a swamp filled camp with infested water.” Aurelia sighed.
“Why not, Your the only person here with a keen eye…Besides.” Aurelia pulled Rylee closer slightly.
“How about a little alliance? We crush all the competition here and give fair share at the end?” Aurelia stated with a smirk.
“Besides. They all look like they need more than the million. A complete makeover seems about right.” Aurelia scoffed as she tried her best not to the touch the damp grass as they walked to the Campfire.
“Hopefully we get decent teammates.” Aurelia muttered fixing any stray fly away hairs.
@Kat - Rylee
“Yeah, we’ll see.” Brenda said while smirking. She hadn’t been in a lot of competitions recently so her life was becoming boring. She remembered how she used to arm wrestle with her brothers and the adrenaline rush she felt when she won. She missed that, so now she had another opportunity for competition. This is going to be fun She thought. After Silas told her about his style a bell rang in her head. “Oh! that makes sense! It’s an adorable style. I thought you made it yourself. Oh well!” Brenda said while taking a slight dig at him, testing his patience.
@GlitterFist Silas
“Actually, I do make my own clothes most of the time.” Silas said, picking up on her subtle cue. “I’ve become quite a talented seamstress. Maybe if I got the chance I could sew something cute for you!” He put an extra emphasis on the word “cute” to get his point accross and gave her a slight look with his eyes that said: Don’t try me. Two can play this game.
@Kbail (Brenda)
As I was going back to picking my nails a girl popped up beside me. “Oh uhh? I’m a bit nervous but I guess it’s just a habit I’ve developed over the years” I said while ducking my head a bit and tucking my hair behind my right ear. “I’m Milly by the way” I said with an awkward smile. Gosh why was I always so socially awkward like- I took a deep breath mentally before focusing my attention on her while I waited for her name.
@LunaticLeviTheSecond - Airin (Yes I’m aware that in the gif her hair is long but just pretend it’s short.)
I smiled as I put up my hand for a weak handshake and in my foreigh, but hard to place accent I said “Airin. It’s nice to meet you.” I pronounced it like Irene, like everybody who knows me says it, but I’m not sure if she realises the spelling is exactly as it sounds and not the english version. “So how come you’re here?”
Mariana let out a sigh of relief once they were out of sight from the many cameras stationed around on the island. She made her look like a fool directly in front of a camera on a reality TV show that people around the globe will be watching. Maybe they’ll forget about her, yeah. The thought of it made her less embarrassed than she already was. Crouching down to pick her bags up just like Cael was doing, he asked her why she didn’t deal well with being in front of a camera. She wasn’t sure if she should delve deeper into the subject with a guy who, albeit very charming in his own eccentric manners, she had just met. After pushing her hair behind her shoulders, wishing she put it in a bun before coming here, she stood up with the straps of her bags secured on her shoulders.
“I’m just not comfortable, that’s all,” she said as she followed the host with Cael, “Just something I don’t like doing.” She pressed her lips together, giving off the effect that they disappeared. The way the cabins were set up made her think that they were gonna be separated by gender with the boys sleeping in one cabin while the girls would sleep in the other. She would be separated from the only person she was a little comfortable around. Hopefully, the girls won’t be so mean.
@unsungcheerio Cael
The host, the guy that scammed all of them and brought them to this turd of an island was leading them off the dock. “Yeah like the Barbie doll,” he said with a laugh, “And who knows? I’m willing to keep all of my options open.” He looked where the stranger was looking at, the rest of the people on the island. There were many attractive faces and bodies here, he had to admit. It put a smirk on his face. Maybe his time here won’t be all bad at all.
As he was gathering his things, he turned around to find nobody was near the shore. Levi left him alone to go follow the line without him. He didn’t even give him a heads up or anything, just straight up left on his own terms and didn’t even tell Ken anything about it. He glared and shook his head at the sight of Levi walking ahead. With the handle of his luggage in his hand, he walked toward the group as the sound of the wheels on his luggage rolling on the ground following him. “Why’d you leave me behind, dude?” he asked Levi with an accusatory tone.
@BlondeGlassesGirl Levi
I heard a bit different voice that I originally expected from her. Airin. “Well nice to meet you Airin” I said folding my arms so they were hugging each other lightly. “Good question i-“ why was I here. “I guess I just saw the opportunity to win that money and said why. The hell. Not” I said with a bit of a giggle. “And clearly we are in for a great 5 star resort for the next couple of weeks so I’m not complaining!” I said sarcastically. “But what about you. Why did you come? Maybe you have a more interesting story then me?” I said with a slight smile.
@LunaticLeviTheSecond - Airin
She let out a small giggle at the current situation. First talk…okay this is going well. “I don’t really do nicknames but since your the first person i’ve talked to, I’m gonna call you Emmy.” She shook her hand and started to introduce herself. “I’m Esmé, some may say it’s short for Esmeralda, I recommend you don’t call me that.” They both heard Chris talking and started to separate.
As Milly walked away, so did Esmé. Soo Cabins? Hm. She sighed and grabbed her luggage, although Esmé was a team player certain things ticked her off. She started following Chris, looking for somebody else to talk to. She looked over towards Milly but she was occupied. Okay…my list looks a bit small but eh, polite always works even in my darkest moments.
@BlondeGlassesGirl - Milly (mentioned)
@sofia - Chris (mentioned)
ORP: Approachable!
OOC: Time skip to once everyone is at the campfire area!
Once everyone was gathered at the campfire area, I looked over at the cameramen and motioned them to come over to start filming.
After I was told that we were rolling, I looked at the campers with a wide grin. “We are at the campfire area. Here, a camper will be voted out each week. But for now, I will be announcing teams. After this, you will all have an hour to get settled in your cabins. There are two cabins for each team and no, I know what you’re thinking, the rooms aren’t co-ed.” I chuckled. “There will be one side of each cabin for the girls and another side of each cabin for the guys,” I told them. “But after that, you’ll go have your first challenge of the season.”
I grabbed two banners from the assistant nearby. “Airin, Alexa, Aurelia, Brittany, Cael, Collins, D’Andrea, Erick, Esmé, Jamilla, Karcen, Ken, Levi, Liam, Lisa, Maurice, Monse, Siler, Spencer Mark, Tequilla, Wren, Zanna, and Zara, stand over there,” I told them, motioning to a certain area. I then threw them the yellow banner. “You all are part of the Cut-Throat Cobras!” I announced.
I then looked at everyone else who was left. “Angelica, Aspen, Aurora, Brenda, Cario, Carter, Chanel, Charlie, DeeDee, Harry, Joshua, Lionel, Mariana, Mika, Milly, Parker, Rem, Rylee, Silas, Spencer Stone, Stephanie, Stephen, and Vanessa, stand there.” I pointed at another area, then tossed the brown banner at them. “You all are now known as the Screeching Sloths!”
“You will all be under constant surveillance, everywhere from the bedrooms, to the bathrooms, to the forest. In addition, there is an outhouse near the cabins which will be our confessional. Simply go in there when you want to talk about something that’s going on or if you want to confess something. You are all required to go inside the confessional and say something at least twice per day. The producers say it’s good for ratings or something, so we’re doing it.” I shrugged. “Oh, and here’s another thing you’re all going to lovee.” I snickered. “There will be a bulletin board in the Main Lodge, where you’ll be eating, that will have some of the confessions. It will be updated daily. And don’t think you’re safe, we’ll make sure you’re all confessing things.” I grinned wickedly, excited to see the drama and suffering this would cause, along with the popularity the show would gain because of it. “Anyway, head over to the cabins,” I told them, motioning to the cabins which were right nearby. “The Cobras are in the east cabin and the Sloths are in the west cabin. The guys’ side is on the left and the girls’ side is on the right of each cabin. Again, you’ll have an hour, then I’ll make an announcement to head to the Main Lodge.”

As is good waiting for something to happen I saw Ken, he seemed a bit mad? It startled me a bit but eh whatever. I looked around him as he stared at me waiting for a response. “I didn’t realize it’d be such a big deal man that’s all” I said with a smile and a confused look. I stuck my hands and pushed them hard into my sweatshirt pockets.
Then the Chris started talking. He talked about different teams. I was on the Cut-deep cobras or something, I don’t even know. And so was Ken. Well, I’d have to deal with this guy for the rest of the stay. “Come on. Let’s go. Don’t wanna leave you behind again.” I said a bit sarcastically and teasingly. As we stood in two separate groups, or our teams, Chris talked about being under constant surveillance. I was shocked. I looked to Ken and said “I think the whole bathroom thing is just so the girl producers can get a show from the guys.” Ummmm what was the whole thing about confessionals. I don’t have any secrets? Well, that anyone knew of. And I sure as hell wasnt gonna confess them on TV. I just shook my head as we headed to our cabin, motioning for Ken to follow. I went on the guys side of the cabin as I rolled my luggage behind me. I stood in the room as I looked at our sleeping quarters. “Damn.” I said looking at the beds but clearly my message was so Ken, as I shook my head in my hand.
@Mage158 - Ken
He raised an eyebrow at this, confusion rising in him. It was odd to him that she would join a show that she knew had cameras but then be so opposed to them. It puzzled him; what was she planning on doing, not talking to a single camera during the entire show. “Weird… seems like you’ve got some surprises to you, Marianaaa.” He shrugged, his smile re-emerging. “But I do gotta say, you might find it hard to avoid all the cameras here… considering this is a reality TV show. No worries, now that I know of your cameraophobia I will do my very best to protect the fair maiden from then the prying screens.” He grinned, kicking the air in front of him for good measure. “They don’t call me Caelrate for no reason. Get it? Karate but with Cael?”
Wheeling his suitcase behind him, the two of them arrived at the campfire area. He listened to what Chris said, frowning slightly when he realized that he wasn’t on the same team as Mariana. Turning to her, he said, “Ah, I guess this is where we part then. I was hoping we’d be on the same team, but guess I’ll be competing against you instead.” He laughed, his eyes bright. Cael took a step into the direction of his new cabin, saluting Mariana with a mock-serious expression. “'Til we meet again? And also if you wanna chat with your new best friend, you know where to find me! Adieu! SAY IT BACK.”
@Mage158 - Mariana
As the first team was being settled I waited to hear my name but it wasn’t mentioned. I noticed both people I was just talking to were still there so I liked the fact I didn’t have to introduce myself to every person on my team. I looked at Mika when I realised and said “Hey, were on the same team.” I looked around “So I’m going to the cabins so I can get the best bed, are you guys coming with me or?” I asked if they would join me.
