"...what are you doing?" Was all she said, her tone blank. She was horribly annoyed with the other and his conflicting actions, and how he seemingly just did all of that for shits and giggles... She glare at nothing, pissed off and confused, ready to drop out of this project. She'd never particularly had a problem with snarky assholes, after all she as one of them. The really people she had an issue with were nice people...they all were liars, every single goddamned one of them. Their fake smiles and hollow words infuriated her to no end...false words of comfort enveloped her in a blanket made of knives until people stopped pretending to care. She would feel relieved hen they left, if she had anyone honest to turn to but no. She was completely certain everybody who bore a smile all day were liars. Every last one. Vale slowed his pace down to a walk and gently set her down in the lounge area. There was a butler in the corner who seemed to be preparing sandwiches and drinks. He waved to the two of them when they entered, but Vale ignored the man and instead turned back to Alraada. He leaned down on one knee to let her be taller than him, and gripped her gently by the shoulders. "I know you're upset with me." He said. "But I'm being honest with you. Anything is possible if you just convince yourself it is." It sounded like he was quoting something important to him. "Why try and convince yourself to be someone you hate? I believe I deserve to be happy. I believe you deserve to be happy." He stood back up and ruffled her hair a bit. "There is a difference between lying for selfish reasons and lying for protection." His arm lowered to her right shoulder and lingered there for a moment before releasing it, his eyes serious although it was unclear with what emotion. "I'm sure you understand what I mean." With that, he turned and walked over towards the butler, calling over his shoulder, "Want anything, darling~? OH LOOK THEY HAVE LETTUCE FOR THE SANDWICHES!" |

"Well you're gonna be waiting a preeeetty long time if you're expecting me to beat your ass. It ain't happening." "Uh-huh, uh-huh...." he replied with a sarcastic nod. "Just like a certain scientist didn't want a part of this crockpot nonsense, but heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere you are~" " ROCKY HOR-" Alti covered his mouth abrubtly with one of his hands, coughing away the last few letters of the word as if it were a sickness. He glared at Cyrus, bringing his hand down to reveal the pout underneath. How fucking DARE he insult his fashion sense. Soulmate bullshit aside, that was just not cool. Despite his visible discomfort with the comparison, he wasn't about to let this get to him. It wasn't nearly as important as what set him off back at the airport, but he just couldn't let Cyrus get to him that easily. After a few deep calming breaths, Alti tugged on the man's luggage and slowed his pace down a bit. "As if!" he spat. "I dress way sexier than that train wreck! You'd know that if you weren't stuck in that getup..." He gave the other man a quick once-over before continuing. "I mean, what the fuck? A shirt, a sweater, AND a jacket!? What are you, a goddamn Inuit?-" He stopped himself to catch his breath. What was he even doing insulting him? They were supposed to be soulmates, and here he was spitting lies. In reality, he thought the scientist looked.... cute in his multiple layers. But he insulted me first, he thought to himself, worrying a bit. He soon brushed off those feelings as they continued walking. He remembered several instances where Cyrus would go back and forth with many of the other candidates, and how the other man blushed and stiffened whenever he got near. Alti smiled again. This is just his thing."You know," he continued. "If you want, I can lend you some clothes! I now just the PERFECT outfit for you! We could match~" He would've went on with his brilliant idea, but stopped due to having another question right at him. Alti gave a mischievous smirk as he raised his hands, twiddling his fingers in a spooky manner as he spoke. "Why, the UNDERWORLD, of course, OOOOOOOOooooooo......" Alti stood in the doorway where Cyrus left him, scanning the room before focusing on the man break out a whole thing of tools. Sheesh, what a nerd. Brought his work on a vacation. He didn't hold any particular interest on watching his soulmate fix a panel, so he instead walked around the space, checking out the bathroom and closing the door afterwards. The word "explode" tore him away from his mini-tour and he quickly turned around to find his partner pointing his tools at him. Oh. Oh my. Alti giggled like a schoolgirl as he watched the man stumble over his words and repair the beds, an act that felt a little bittersweet to him, what with the earlier promise of being set on fire with his soulmate now having completely faded. He sat up on the bed he claimed as his while the nerd fixed it up, kicking his feet back and forth until the job was done. He took a quick look at his bracelet and thought back to what the women from earlier said: “Also, the beds i’ve desigend are based off of your true love auras...the more in love or attracted to each other you are, the closer they will gravitate together. This can be one sided of course, one bed can just scoot towards another, even if one party may not like the other yet.” "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......" Alti didn't hesitate to scamper to the scanner. Reading the instructions carefully, he placed his bracelet over the machine and watched it start up, only to flash a message telling him it wouldn't start until his partner scanned his bed also. He frowned as he whined "Cyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyruuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssssss..... It won't work unless you scaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan it....." |

He frowned as he whined "Cyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyruuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssssss..... It won't work unless you scaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan it....." Cyrus had just finished putting away his tools in his suitcase, raising an eyebrow and glancing over at his match who was in the process of scanning his bracelet in. "Ah yeah. I'm coming, I'm coming, keep your shorts on," he replied, sitting on the edge of the bed and rolling up his sleeve to expose the bracelet before lightly tapping the bracelet to the console. He carefully held his arm steady, squinting at the screen and waiting for the results when,  That's when he saw stars. The scientist's face smacked soundly into the ground as the bed immediately jolted out from under him and towards the other man's, a pained and frustrated grunt leaving his mouth after a silent moment on the floor. "Damnit," he let out a delayed groan of pain, pushing himself off the floor slowly and rubbing his sore nose. Something clicked after a few moments of pondering, Cyrus blinking a couple times and flushing a deep red as he suddenly realized what the implications of this were.
"T-T-The beds were already sabotaged when we got in here! I P-PROBABLY missed something, I don't work with this shit!" the flustered man stammered while gesticulating theatrically towards the bed, trying to explain his way out of the embarrassment. And perhaps simultaneously trying to convince himself. |

Even though their face didn't show any signs of it, Aberdeen was beginning to get pissed. They began banging on the door harder. "HEY!! I SAID OPEN UP!!" To which they got no response. They could feel the rage boiling up inside of them, and they sent their fist flying full force into the door, leaving a large dent. "AREN'T YOU JACKASSES SUPPOSED TO BE RUNNING THIS!? STOP SCISSORING AND GIVE ME ANSWERS!!" Aberdeen shouted at the top of their lungs.
Realizing what they'd just shouted, they turned around in embarrassment, hoping nobody heard that. They looked around the area for any sort beverage, but couldn't seem to find anything. They sighed in annoyance and began walking back towards the couch, facing Maicy. "Look babe, they girls didn't answer, soooooo I'm gonna go find you a drink! Sit tight." They pointed their 'guns' at them and began walking through the living area, when they heard a rather large thud coming from room 5. Upon peering inside, they noticed a particular scientist working on a bed that seemed to have moved incredibly close to the other.
"Woooooow Cyrus, I didn't take you for the 'love at first sight' type of guy, but look at you now!" They chuckled. "How are the newly weds anyways?" They mused, hoping to get some sort of banter to take their mind off of their sheer embarrassment.

They mused, hoping to get some sort of banter to take their mind off of their sheer embarrassment. Cyrus groaned as someone came barging into their room, his fingers firmly pressed against his temples as he slowly looked up from his position on the floor. Aberdeen was now peering through the doorway. Did I forget to close the door?? "Yeah well you thought correctly. 'Love' is the wrong word, Hedgehog. Lemme just clear that up right now," the scientist snapped, rolling up to his feet and crossing his arms. "What about you, Mx. Ménage à Trois? How's your 'lovelife' going so far? Clearly not so great, if you're feeling the urge to barge into other people's rooms for kicks." He smirked and leaned against the wall, staring the intruder down and raising an eyebrow. |

Aberdeen was a bit taken back by Cyrus' immediate hostility, and the accusation that they were a 'hedgehog.' How does he know about my Sonic obsession!? "God damn, dude. I was just coming in to say 'Hi' and see how it's going. I'd ask whats up your ass but" They shifted their view over to Alti "I already have some ideas. To answer your question though, I was actually on my way to get Maicy a soda, as they were thirsty. Not nearly as thirsty as you, given how close your bed is to Alti's, but thirsty none the less." They crossed their arms as if to mock Cyrus' defensive stance. "I heard some sort of thud, so I did what any good person would do and check it out to make sure my acquaintance is okay. Clearly, you're fine though, aside from that awful sunburn you're sporting. Ooooor..." Aberdeen began to chuckle "Are you just blushing?" |

His arm lowered to her right shoulder and lingered there for a moment before releasing it, his eyes serious although it was unclear with what emotion. "I'm sure you understand what I mean." With that, he turned and walked over towards the butler, calling over his shoulder, "Want anything, darling~? OH LOOK THEY HAVE LETTUCE FOR THE SANDWICHES!" Alraada wanted to go on a long spiel about how no lie is good, no matter the intention, but she knew all that would just be ignored...despite the fact tht he believed she was correct, no questions about it....everyone deserves the truth, no matter how harsh it is. She noticed his hand it was in the one spot that she was outwardly... She stopped thinking of it, and suppressed the confusion, embarrasment, and anger that was mixing on her face At every words that left his mouth, her trust in him deteriorated. She could tell he was trying to comfort her, and at least this was seemingly the first time he was being even remotely honest with her. Anything is possible of you convince yourself it is?! What are you, six?! All you're doing is lying to yourself and othersShe grimaced when he called her 'darling' as that's something you only call people you care about. Following the lettuce joke, she groaned and buried her face in a nearby pillow. "Haven't heard that one before..." |

Maicy waited for a bit. She continue to think to herself.
"I suck at this. This is my first relationship and I suck"
Damn... Guess the masterminds are busy or something and they might not answered Aberdeen's question.
Maicy nodded. When Aberdeen left, She thought to herself.
"I wonder if I can tell Aberdeen about the missions I have been in. Mainly, what was my most infamous in the work area.."

Vale was in the process of gathering two sandwiches and two drinks when a confused expression crossed his mask. He pushed two of them back. "This is fine, thank you." He said to the butler before wandering back to Alraada. He sat down next to her and placed the drink and the sandwich on the table. He didn't say anything, instead twiddling his thumbs and staring off in the distance. His thoughts were still focused on the beds back in their room, and whatever the hell his bed was currently doing. He sighed and glanced at his soulmate warily. He was giving this his all. He always did. And it never worked. |

He was blunt, 'I'm guessing you don't know a lot of girls. Well, you better go say that to her. She must be in a right mood. Come on, there's no time to waste.' Sami was sitting atop her bed, sulking. She hadn't taken a good look round the room; she found no reason to if Arshrin wasn't there. She perked a little as the door opened and there stood Robb'in and Arshrin, who would have gotten pecked if he didn't comply with Robb'in's orders. 'Hello, you two..' she said, a little slower than usual. 'Sami is.. very sad right now. Sami is sorry.' It was clear her mood had affected all known mannerisms of the girl. 'Sami was happy when Arshy was Sami's soulmate. Sami was really happy and.. Sami didn't want to cause any trouble.' she lowered her head again. 'Sami likes Arshy a lot, but that doesn't mean we are.. dating. Sami and Arshy are soulmates, but that doesn't mean Arshy likes.. Sami.'  'Does Arshy like.. Sami?'

Cyrus smirked and tapped his arm with his fingers, shrugging. "My, Aberdeen. I didn't expect such prudish, judgy behavior from the likes of you. There's no shame in sex." He shrugged and brought his hand up, waving it dismissively. "But you're incorrect there too. Don't worry bud. If you're this nosy I'm sure you'll be the first to know when you stop being so wrong," he laughed, his tone still sharp but his demeanor somewhat more relaxed. They crossed their arms as if to mock Cyrus' defensive stance. "I heard some sort of thud, so I did what any good person would do and check it out to make sure my acquaintance is okay. Clearly, you're fine though, aside from that awful sunburn you're sporting. Ooooor..." Aberdeen began to chuckle "Are you just blushing?" "I'm 110% sure that thud was ACTUALLY caused by a malfunctioning bed. You shoulda seen the spaghetti bullshit mess of wires the scientists left for me, Aberdeen. If there's not something else wrong with it, well then color me surprised. And this?" He pointed to the heat that still lingered on his cheeks and ears, walking over to the door and leaning on the doorframe. Reaching a hand out, he placed a it firmly on their shoulder and leaned down to get eye level with the shorter individual, staring them in the eye. "That's a skin condition called 'Nosy-Interlopers-Should-Knock-First'."

"That's a skin condition called 'Nosy-Interlopers-Should-Knock-First'." Aberdeen listened to the scientist trail on, half paying attention to the insults being thrown at them. They gave the scientist and exaggerated yawn, until he got in their face. Their eyes stayed completely still, as if they weren't staring AT Cyrus, but rather through him. It would seem that Aberdeen was holding their breath, as no heat could be felt exiting their lips. "Knock" Aberdeen knocked once on the door "Knock" And nearly sent it off its hinges with the second knock. Aberdeen hated people pointing out their height, and Cyrus seemed rather intent on doing so. "You know, there are only two occasions that call for someone get this close to my face." The spoke, softly. "Either they're trying to kiss me, or I'm about to headbutt them. So if you aren't gonna do the first, I'm about to do the second." They challenged the man, testing just how far they could push him. |

Cyrus glanced over as he heard a crack around the door's hinges, entirely unfazed by both threats before rolling his eyes and staring back at Aberdeen. That's when he started to notice certain things seemed a bit... off about them so close up. Pulling back, he examined their face for a moment, tapping his chin and raising an eyebrow. Interesting.
Frankly, he couldn't help but question why this would catch his attention rather than all the other freakshow-esque contestants this experiment was inundated with, but there was something more subtle about this brand of odd. A couple moments of silence and contemplation later, the scientist laughed as if that exchange never occurred and shook his head, pushing himself off the doorframe. "I'm not interested in fighting with anything but words, bud." Humming, he walked back to his original spot in the room, blowing them a kiss. "There's your kiss though, since you asked so nicely." |

Rin's eyes fluttered wide as Andrew held his hand forward, before taking it in his own, giving it an almost (but not quite) limp handshake. Good, it wasn't too weak but not too impressive or dominating. His standards should have just been barely met. "Uh, it's Barnett by the way. My last name. Rin Barnett." Rin then turned towards the hallway containing the room doors. "We should check our rooms out at least to-" he rubbed his shoulder, another white hair fluttered off, "see what they did with our stuff." "I guess I should say it's a pleasure, Mister Barnett." Andrew spoke flatly as he took back his hand, glancing down at it with a scowl before dropping it to his side. He then turned his gaze to the rooms, the suggestion was certainly something to do. "Fine, alright. Apres voi." Whether he said vous wrong on purpose or sheer ignorance it wasn't entirely clear, but he shrugged waving his hand forward allowing Rin to proceed ahead of him.l |

"Neither am I, bud. I only fight if I have to. Or...." They trailed off, realizing they shouldn't delve too much into their personal life, given Cyrus and Alti were strangers regardless of how Aberdeen felt about them. They noticed the cheeky scientist blow them a kiss, to which they didn't react. "Thanks, bud." Suddenly, the fact that Aberdeen had been chatting away for quite some time started to dawn on them, and they had left Maicy alone by herself. Was she still waiting for them? Did she go off to chat with others? The idea bothered Aberdeen more than it should have, and they scratched the back of their neck as if it were a nervous tick. They quickly tightened their bandana once more after the scratching stopped. "Well, as fun as this was, I should probably head out." They turned their head to look around the room. "You guys shouldn't stay cooped up in here. There's plenty of people to talk to out there, y'know?" They began walking to the door, but stopped as their hand hit the handle. "You mentioned the scientists tampered with your bed...right?" They turned back to face Cyrus and Alti, curiosity getting the best of them. "You don't think the beds could...." They trailed off as they usually do, realizing it was stupid to ask if they thought the beds could have some sort of device with which to spy on them. "Uh...nevermind." They scratched the back of their neck again, this time looking at their hand as if they'd find something, before tightening their bandana once more. |
