"Uh... thanks, but no thanks," scoffed Alti as he held up the coat by its sleeve to briefly examine it before offering it back to his insulated soulmate and moving a few strands of hair from his face. "I apologize if I didn't make myself clear earlier, but I'm not cold, sweetie, so I won't be needing this... tent of yours any time soon, 'kay?" As soon as he finished speaking however, another brisk gust of wind brushed past them and had the flustered man in a light tremor in a matter of seconds. "B-but ya' know, if you really insist I carry this for you, then I guess I'll just have to deal with this tacky burden for a while." he concluded with a mild stammer, Alti quickly slipping on the warmer article of clothing with a relieved sigh before assuming his uppity act once more. "Just know I'm doing you a favor, alright?" "Well maybe I was forced into this because my job thought I was for a preference that I can't--!" She cut herself off from continuing to snap at Alti, a mix of guilt, sadness, regret, and rage flashing briefly on her face before she returned to looking normal. "...it wouldn't matter to you." She muttered, annoyance apparent in her voice. She continued walking onward when the fateful announcement of the winner rung out in the stadium, declaring 'Abermaicy'! The winners. Galystris silently waved Alti and Cyrus off, regret spiraling in her mind from what she said about herself to Alti. "Hey, now you don't know that, Galy~!" Alti chimed after the sulking commander. "For all you know, I could be the closest thing to an understanding bestie you'll ever find amongst the rest of the assholes and idiots in this experiment, especially with how lame your soulmate is and now that I'm in the long and grueling process of turning over a new leaf!" He shot a wicked, toothy grin at his partner. "Ain't that right, Cy~?" Cyrus smirked and blatantly looked his partner up and down, flashing him a small wink. "Ya sure are, because I think you look pretty cute in that tent of mine," he teased, adjusting his scarf and nudging his stubborn partner with his shoulder a couple of times before offering his arm again, listening to the exchange between the general and his partner with a raised brow. He could vaguely remember the surprising interest that the iceblock had shown at therapy in his rather uncomfortable story, although he wasn't about to go making assumption about the Soviet bacon strip's life. Just a cursory glance at her told him that would be a fruitless endeavor. "The leaf's turnin' slowly but it certainly is turning," he snickered, kissing Alti's cheek quickly before looking back to the lonesome commander. "Hey we've all got our baggage, Lis. Hell I'd bet that whole 'therapy' session was just scratching the surface for this whole fucked up circus of people. You're in good company, and if ya play your cards right you might find someone just as--" He paused once the bone-chilling announcement was made. The resident purple couple emerged as the winner rather than the green team. And they all had seen just how well that went last time they played a game together. The sound of timber crashing to the ground confirmed his concern. Cyrus found himself tightly clinging to the other's arm at the ear-piercing sound of potential brewing violence, the engineer frowning and swallowing a little bit. "Hey, Lettuce was on that green eyesore's back just a couple minutes ago wasn't she? ...We should probably check on her yeah?" he spoke slowly, mulling over his words and choices as they came out of his mouth. |

Nace and Amil made their way out of the building and back towards the woods, Nace figuring they'd be meeting back up with the other contestants. "Be prepared," He muttered to his partner, "it wasn't Vale's team that won, so there's likely to be some physical showdown occurring between him and the winners. So let's just stay a big farther away until the coast is clear, yeah?"
The continued through the forest, noting where they had been previously, before spotting an approaching group of experiment members. "Ey! Two people I'm decently pleased to see," A small nod towards Cyrus and Galy, "and then this fucker." A bird to Alti. "So! Where are we all heading to? Going into the direction of the probable blood bath and carnage, right?"

"This experiment is a mess. You and your boyfriend go back. I have to go back to babysitting my soulmate now." She grumbled with resentment in her tone. She sighed thinking of looking for Piami, assuming she would find her sniveling and in tears. Understandable, but again, the hypersensitive ones weren't her type. "See you later, 'buddy'" she spoke, putting sarcastic emphasis on the final word of that sentence "See? Now yer gettin' it, sweetie~!" bellowed Alti, the crook of his arm bringing his boyfriend closer as he turned the general's sarcasm on its head. Cyrus found himself tightly clinging to the other's arm at the ear-piercing sound of potential brewing violence, the engineer frowning and swallowing a little bit. "Hey, Lettuce was on that green eyesore's back just a couple minutes ago wasn't she? ...We should probably check on her yeah?" he spoke slowly, mulling over his words and choices as they came out of his mouth. Alti's attention immediately snapped to the worried engineer's face, a look of genuine look of confusion at the other man's risky request now completely evident on his features. Man... who knew Cyrus had a death-wish? Apparently not his partner! While he could.... sort of understand the scientist's concern for what had to be his only 'friend' in the experiment's safety, he still showed some reluctance to just jumping into the tree-falling madness head-first. "Uhhh, you sure about that? Vale just lost a game, and with how petty he is with competitions and how gnarly those powers of his are...." He sharply drew in air through his bared teeth, "I dunno, just doesn't sound like the greatest idea.... " he meekly replied with his voice raising a few octaves with each passing word, wondering if the cold air was just driving the other insane or something. That could've been it, right? The entire time he spent looking the other up and down, he thought about all of the 'progress' he'd been making and just how easy destroying it could be if, say, one of the trees in the surrounding area was thrown their way. Well, mainly just Cyrus' way. It just seemed.... dangerous. He sighed. Unfortunately....
Just before he could open his mouth again, the sounds of footsteps approaching cut him off, Alti's concerned expression neutralizing once Nace and his soulless partner came into view. The continued through the forest, noting where they had been previously, before spotting an approaching group of experiment members. "Ey! Two people I'm decently pleased to see," A small nod towards Cyrus and Galy, "and then this fucker." A bird to Alti. "So! Where are we all heading to? Going into the direction of the probable blood bath and carnage, right?" Alti gestured a hand pointed toward the racist's question as he stared intently into his partner's eyes with a countenance in his own that clearly read something along the lines of 'Are you absolutely fucking sure?' before he decided the answer for himself and scooped the man up into his arms. "Uh-uh, not doin' it. If she's really in any trouble she'll call you. She always calls you. We're done here." he snappily declared as he stepped the both of them through a rift and back into their room, but not before cheekily sticking his tongue out at Nace before it closed. |

The group was escorted out of the maze by security and the date had gone to a close.
With the sun already set on the sky, it was going to be a late night for the couples.
After a while of Elenara yelling at everyone, for what she deemed to be "unacceptable childish tomfoolery", she stormed off, leaving the couples to do as they pleased for the rest of the night.
Leaving the group in front of the hotel, she allowed them to disband on their own, not bothering to even escort them inside before she stormed off.

With the couples moved back to the hotel and Aberdeen tuning out everything Elenara had to say, they looked to Alraada and let her know that the offer was still open, should she not have anywhere to go. And with that, Aberdeen and Maicy headed back into their room for some well deserved rest. Once inside with the door securely locked behind them, Aberdeen sighed and peeled the prosthetic skin from around their neck and placed it on the bathroom counter before trudging over to their bed and collapsing on it.
They let out another long sigh and turned to their partner. "Hey, you alright? Today was pretty shitty, huh..?" They asked, meekly.
Once the two made it back to the hotel, Amil immediately made a B-Line towards the room before Elenara's berating had even begun, having had enough of an earful when the woman pulled them out of the woods. Listening to her bitch and moan was not something the man was keen on doing a second time. Amil peeled his outfit off once inside the hotel room and tossed it off to the side, after which he walked into the bathroom and tore the gloves and leggings off. Once the amalgamate ball was tossed off to the side, he hopped into the shower and started it up without saying a word.

With that, everyone is back at the hotel after dealing with the hypercritical lecture from Elenara, the purple duo had reached back to there rooms. Maicy felt stressed, due to Vale... well, being Vale. But really, with so much things going on in this experiment, Maicy is even surprised anymore. Still, she is letting herself relax after a stressed out day They let out another long sigh and turned to their partner. "Hey, you alright? Today was pretty shitty, huh..?" They asked, meekly. Maicy looked towards her parnter as they asked her a question. "Yeah, I am. Just kinda stressed out from what happened today. But hey I'll manage." Maicy responded before asking "How about you? Are you feeling okay?"
There has been so much guilt that Piami felt after hearing the lecture from Elenara. Once she and Galystris went back to their bedroom. Piami spoken. "I think I'll use the shower." And with that, Piami went into the bathroom, turned on the shower and just went in. While trying her best not to utter a sound from her voice, Piami's tears began to stream down her face.
How am I supposed to talk with Galy with the way she is at the moment? |

Silently standing in front of the hotel, trying to tuned out the nearby crowd in order to give her mind a rest from the exercises she had out it through, Alraada avoided any and eye contact with the strangers and familiar faces around her. Hearing and feeling the 'buzz' from her phone that notified her that she was being contacted, she pulled it from the bag strewn across her body. Surprisingly, she had gotten s text from the stranger that had helped her one night, followed by her suspiciously entering her phone contact information into Alraada's phone. The name was hazy until she saw once again who it was from. Kellen....was it? ------ K: Help meK: Please, I need you to talk to someone for meK: it's life or death------ Taking the messages in, Alraada's eyes snapped from their blankness into an expression of worry, but nothing shocked. She should have expected things to go south after all. This was normal. Her fingers tapping quickly away at the keys shown in the screen, she typed up a response to the other. ------ A: This is awful sudden. But I'll be right there. Anything you need me to say? I don't want anyone getting hurtK: they'll explain everything to you when you get there. Just please come behind the hotel as quick as possible. Thank you so much!----- Again, suspicion arose in her from the strange actions of the stranger from those weeks ago, but she was too worn out from the events prior to question anything. Without a word to anyone nearby, Alraada turned in the direction she needed, and hobbled on her crutches away from the scene, disappearing around the corner. --- Seeing Kellen leaning against a wall with a cigarette between her fingers with a relaxed look on her face was the last thing Alraada expected. Her brows furrowing in annoyance, she went to turn around and head back into the hotel before seemingly without even looking in her direction, Kellen spoke up with a smile. "Ah, Alraada. So glad you could make it as quickly as you did." She spoke, her deep voice ringing in the green haired girl's ears once again after such a long time. Even with the past experience discounted, her voice had an odd familiarity that sent Alraada into an immediate state of discomfort that she knew she wanted to escape immediately. "Kellen, what are you trying to do here? I thought you said this was life or death?" Alraada croaked, her voice exiting her mouth at a much quieter volume than she would hoped. Adjusting her position, Kellen walked towards Alraada, the shorter girl backing away from her out of reflex. Raising a thumb to her chest, Kellen crudely pointed to herself and gave a light smile which carried an eerie air, setting off warning bells even more in Alraada's head. "Me. They're here. You were to talk to me." The words strayed out of Alraada's realm of comprehension for a short while, before her fearful and confused demeanor snapped quickly into one of anger. "I'll be leaving then, asshole. Don't contact me again if you're going to freak me out for no god damn reason." Shooting a glare Kellen's way briefly before turning the other direction, Alraada tried to head away from the suspicious stranger before she felt a cold hand clamp tightly over her wrist and pull her backwards. "Don't think I'll let you go just yet, Alraada. We haven't spoken yet. This subject has been wearing in my mind for a while, and a cant just let you leave." Kellen growled. Alraada turned around quickly and snapped her wrist out of Kellen's hand quickly. "What the fuck is wrong with you?! Couldn't you have just asked me to talk to you?! Why do you have to be so fucking unnessecarily suspicious all the time, it's almost like you're--!"  "Don't give me that bullshit. I know you know who I am." Alraada's cheek stung in response to the hit, redness forming in the spot that wouldn't likely go away so easily. "What...?" Was all she could muster through her shock. This talk of knowing who this person who she had only seen twice was sending her mind into a loop. The only thing that would echo anything remotely similar to Kellen's accusations would be the vague familiarity lingering in the air around her. "Stop toying with me you murderer!" Kellen yelled, her hand making contact with the opposite side of Alraada's face. Raising a hand to her cheek, Alraada's eyes widened and her body shook from it's very core. If Kellen had the right person, Alraada Would know exactly what she was going in about. "...why do you...it wasn't my...you're not thinking of me...." She mumbled, averting her eyes from the person whose familiarity finally seemed to mean something. "I think I would know who killed my dad! Don't pull anymore bullshit with me!" ((TW: choking, suicidal thoughts, attempted suicide, attempted murder)) Kellen's hands wrapped around Alraada's neck, and tears began to flow free from her eyes. "I know you tried to kill them! I know that fire wasn't an accident, yet you get away Scott free! Well guess what?! You reap what your sew! Now it's you're turn, you piece of garbage!" Kellen yelled, her voice wavering with every word. Her statements became near incomprehensible through her angered screaming and crying, but it was enough for Alraada to understand every word despite her lightheadedness possibly drowning out the noise. The memories running through her mind of her 'escape' crashed down over her like a wave ready to drown her in the regret. Someone who ends another life, no matter who that life belonged to.... Did not belong in this planet. Desperately trying to think up excuses for why she needed to be alive, her memories failed her in every conceivable level. No one prior to the experiment needed her, and even in the experiment, everything that could go wrong went wrong, no matter how hard she tried to prevent it. Not only would it be better for everyone else if her miserable existence was wiped off the planet. It would be better for her too. "Please..." She choked out through the hands constricting her breath. Kellen smirked unnervingly at her word and began to taunt her. "Please what?! Let you go?! Never. I wouldn't do that for scum like you. No good person could ever take a--" we cut herself off and her grip on Alraada's neck loosened slightly. Alraada's eyes widened and a desperate look came into her eye. "No...please...kill me." She wheezed. Kellen's hands loosened completely, and Alraada fell to the ground. Kellen nearly crashed to her knees as she looked down at what she had done. "I can't do it...I can't....I won't stoop to your level...." She muttered to herself repeatedly, reassuring herself that she was in the right. She backed away slowly, looking at the figure that may sat against the wall that almost died at her hands before taking off in the other direction. Alraada, not registering anything that happened, raised the hand that was not protected by a sling to her neck. Repeating the motion, but much harder than Kellen would ever have the courage to do, Alraada felt her breath leave her throat as her vision dulled further. In s blind panic, Alraada's instincts kicked in and she pulled her hand away. "I'm too scared to even do what's right....huh..." She mumbled through quiet laughs which sounded more and more like barely audible wails more and more by the second. "I'm weak..." She whispered to herself. She leaned her head against the wall, her mind telling her over and over to get some rest. This time, she would oblige. Her eyes stayed half lidded as she remained unmoving form the place Kellen had dropped her.  Some rest sounded nice. |

"Me? OH, yeah, uh, I'm..." Aberdeen trailed off as they sat up in their bed, looking away from their partner as guilt began eating away at them. Just tell her how you really feel, you idiot.. "Um... actually.. no, not really.." They chuckled dryly as they rubbed the back of their neck. They stood up from their bed and walked over to their partner's, sitting down next to her.
"This is like.. the third time I've almost gotten killed in this experiment. Kinda startin' to wear on me... I mean, this time it was my fault for jumping in the way, but.... I don't know, I guess I'm just stressin' over everything..." The fighter let out a long sigh as they turned to face their partner, a hint of pink flushing across their 'face.' "You, though! Y-you were really brave today.. You were calm and collected, even when we won and Vale was sprinting towards us.. I really admire that... I was shaking in my boots.."
The fighter laughed nervously as their face glowed brighter and brighter, the small shade of pink now completely encompassing their aura. They stared longingly at Maicy for a few moments before swallowing hard and glancing down towards the floor out of embarrassment. "H-hey.... c-c-can I, uh.... kiss you..?" They muttered, shakily.

Maicy listened to what her partner had to say. She understood how they were feeling. While Maicy herself was not too scared of most of what happened today(well, inside, she was worried for Aberdeen and Alraada but who wouldn't when Vale's involved.), she understands why anyone would be scared, as not everyone has been through the same missions as her. Her face blushed as Aberdeen complimented her for being brave.
Maicy blushed a bit more at the question. She nodded.
"Y-Yes, you can" Maicy answered, softly

Aberdeen's head brightened up at the confirmation given from Maicy, and they slowly leaned forward and planted their lips on hers, making their head as solid as possible. The two kissed for the entire minute Aberdeen had to keep their head in its solid state, the embrace becoming more passionate as the seconds ticked on. When Aberdeen pulled themself away, their head was nearing the point of bursting into a pink geyser.
The fighter let out a breathy sigh, partially due to the concentration they needed to keep their head solid but mostly from the kiss. They gulped and scooted a bit closer to Maicy. "C-can we.... can we do that again..?"

Maicy felt the warmth of the kiss from Aberdeen. The feeling felt more passionate as seconds roll by. When they stopped however.Maicy blushed a bit more but she also begane to smile.  "Yes.. we can." |

Aberdeen inhaled deeply as the began focusing on keeping their head solid once again as they leaned in and kissed their partner once more, cupping either side of her face with their hands as they did so. As their head began to fade again, they attempted to overexert their abilities even further. They climbed onto Maicy's lap and continued kissing her, their head fading in and out of solidity as things began heating up between the two.  ----Timeskip---- Aberdeen laid on the bed, breathing heavily and allowing bright pink smoke to fill the top of the room. That was.... amazing.. Much different than anything they'd experienced before. So much better! The fighter rolled over to face their partner and kissed her forehead. "H-hey.." They whispered, their voice shaking. "Th-that was fun..." The giggled lightly. |

And with after the turn of events, Maicy laid on the bed next to her partner, breathing heavily as she saw the pink smoke reach up the ceiling. Maicy thought about everything in the experiment before what just happened.
Has Maicy been acting like a bit of a child before this experience? Well, not as much as Piami to be fair but still, Maicy has been pretty flustered about this sort of thing, and got annoyed with Nace and Amil did it during the beginning of the month. Now that she herself had a first-hand experience in this, she.. actually enjoyed it..
Maicy looked over to Aberdeen, curious to see if they felt the same way.
And that pretty much confirms it. Maicy began to smile as she giggle lightly as well.
"Y-yeah..." she whispered, her voice is shaking as well "I-I agree.."

((Sorry for double posting!!))
Just a regular day in the experiment, with another regular plan for a date.
Elenara had called everyone down to the cafe, planning to take them to a Karaoke bar, but she had to make sure all the cameras were set up properly.
Leaving the group to themselves for only a brief while, the day was ready to take it's course.
Date: Commence!
