"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. Cyrus waved lightly at the hedgehog as they started to exit the room, watching their face more keenly than he had been previously for anything else he considered uncanny. "Oh don't worry, we'll be out there soon enough. Although I'm sure a few people would prefer if this one was kept contained," the scientist laughed, gesturing back towards Alti. "I gotta see how ol' Lettuce is doing with that mecha luchador anyway," he replied, a bit more to himself this time. "If you know even the basics of circuitry, I'd check out yours and your soulmate's beds just in case to make sure they're not fucked up. I don't trust those 'scientists' as far as I could throw them to be honest. But to be fair, I'm pretty sure they don't trust me." He smirked and cocked his head to the side. "Anyway, isn't your soulmate waiting for you to be a good spouse and get her a drink? She's a saint if she's still sitting there patiently. Better hang onto her," he winked. |

"Anyway, isn't your soulmate waiting for you to be a good spouse and get her a drink? She's a saint if she's still sitting there patiently. Better hang onto her," he winked. "Uh.....yeah..." Aberdeen exited the room without saying another word. They peered over to the couch, noticing that Maicy was still waiting for them. They quickly made their way through one end of the living room where nobody else appeared to be and collapsed onto their hands and knees. Damn it..Aberdeen's full blown paranoia was now getting the best of them, and their head felt as though it was about to explode from sheer stress. The idea of being watched, monitored, stared at.... was something Aberdeen was quite disturbed by. They sat on the ground with their back against the door, heart about to beat straight out of their chest. They could feel their body shaking in a mixture of fear, stress, and panic. All the while... Their face didn't change. What felt like an eternity, which in reality was about five minutes, Aberdeen picked themself off the ground. They managed to calm themself down, for the most part, and began to scour the area. Upon a bit of searching, they located an orange soda and began their trek back to the living room. They stopped at the door, as they could feel their blood pressure shoot through the roof. They took a deep breath and entered the room once more. They soon reached the couch, plopping down next to Maicy and handing her the orange soda. "Sorry it took so long, babe. Cyrus really wanted to chat with me. Something about dorky science...stuff, or something.." They chuckled half-heartedly, not wanting to tell Maicy about the fact they just had a panic attack. |

(( super late reply again, sorry))
Willow watched Rowan's face turning red. God dammit thats adorable . By the tone of his voice, it seemed that he felt more comfotable around her, and that made Willow happier. They both seemed to get along pretty well which was something that surprised her beacause by the first day of meeting him, she could feel feelings growing for that person. She was having fun.
Rowan had asked about music, something she wasnt so familliar with.
" Oh, um, yeah! I like listening to music. Um well i am not very picky though. I listen a little bit of everything heh! How abou ya?" She asked.

Ortus was alerted to the other man's silence, as well as their bed positioning not changing an inch since scanning their bracelets. Hopefully, this could work: either that, or she would be reimbursed for the utter incompetence of the team sponsoring and conducting this experiment. Her attention was directed to the man ruffling through his wallet, pulling out a small picture. A kid? If all went well, then should have to help raise a child? Hopefully she looked older than the image implied, and that she could take care of herself for the most part. the bed subtlety inched away from Simon, only traversing a short distance before stopping. "Ok." Ortus shrugged her shoulders and reached for a remote to watch TV. While flipping channels, a rerun caught her eye. An episode of some show that she participated in 6 years ago. The name escaped her, but she immediately went to another channel, slight pangs of anxiety seeping in from seeing her own face on television. Maybe this daughter of his liked these kinds of things? Hell if she knew. |

"Right."
While the birds words were blunt, they did brong up a good point.
"Sami, I do like you." Arshrin spoke up "You're first girls that was really kind to me."
Just to comfort her, Arshrin gave Sami a hug.
-----
Maicy waited for a bit.
"Ah, no need to be sorry." Maicy smiled as she gently grabbed the orange soda that Aberdeen handed to her. "Hope everything is going okay for you."

Maicy waited for a bit."Ah, no need to be sorry." Maicy smiled as she gently grabbed the orange soda that Aberdeen handed to her. "Hope everything is going okay for you." "Yup," Aberdeen answered quickly. "I'm great. So, uh..where were we?" They pondered. Aberdeen had completely forgotten what the two had been talking about prior to their little 'episode,' and hoped their question would come off as casual. They continued to try and calm themself down mentally, as they didn't want to cause any alarm to Maicy, or anyone for that matter. What Aberdeen really wanted to do was lock themself in the bathroom and sleep the rest of the day away.
Rowan wasn't exactly sure why he asked Willow this question, as the only music he ever heard was whatever song played on the radio while he worked at the convenience store. He'd swear he could recite 'Anaconda' in his sleep. "Heheh, same! I usually just put on the radio and listen to whatever happens to be playing.." He smiled |

"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 Rin walked forward, locating the room the two would be staying in, however something weighed heavy on his mind. " H-he said vous wrong. should I tell him? but if I did he could find it insulting. But if I didn't... w-what if he was testing me to see how smart I was, and if I don't correct him he'll think I'm stupid. If I correct him will he be impressed? b-but what if he get angry? what if he actually is saying it right and I've had the wrong way of saying it the entire time? I'm not an expert at French, I only took it in eighth grade. What if he asks me how I knew and I have to tell him I only took French for one year in school. I don't remember any French... Un feuille de papier..." With a sweaty palm Rin opened opened their room door, inside on Rin's side was his luggage along with a number of boxes. A ferret carrier had been placed on his bed, with two glowing red eyes peering out of it directly at the two men. "O-okay?" Simon was baffled by Ortus' reaction, or lack thereof. As the TV flicked on Simon turned over to view it, cocking his head to the side anticipating her choice in programming. He himself rarely watched TV, he preferred to keep occupied while listening to music or audiobooks... but the occasional love story would grip at his heart. |

"Euughhh" Ortus groaned, trying to find something of substance to pass the time. The only thing even remotely watchable was a cringe worthy soap opera; at least then, there could be some ironic entertainment value there. She stopped her 'surfing' and kicked back, watching the horrifically cheesy events unfold. From what Ortus could gather, it was about a young woman falling in love with a man who had children from a previous marriage, and that woman being incredibly rude about it. "If you don't want to watch this, I'll change the channel again," Ortus suggested, digging herself into the blankets and mindlessly watching the program. Then again, plot took a backseat to constant bickering and unintentionally hilarious dialogue. |

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. She thanked Vale politely and took what he offered. She glanced over at him briefly, and then back away. She didn't really want to bother with him anymore. Alraada knew she couldn't be soulmates who spouted nothing but lies.  He was just like the rest of them, stringing her along for the purpose of publicity, or just for the hell of it. She had no clue why she even bothered trusting him. Maybe she thought the bracelets were always right? Maybe his words seemed sincere? No matter the reason, she felt like an idiot. |

Maicy thought about it.
"I think that we were just done talking about our jobs"
Maicy thought about another thing to talk with Aberdeen for a moment.
"So, what type of movies do you like?"
She tried.

He looked away and stared towards where the butler was to avoid eye contact. "I told you I don't like being upset. So let's fix this." He stated after a moment. "I'm willing to try. I don't understand why you're not." He seemed truly frustrated with her. |

A ferret carrier had been placed on his bed, with two glowing red eyes peering out of it directly at the two men. Andrew followed close behind Rin with a slight scowl carved into his face. He would never spend time around someone as strange as this for even this long, but he was required to do more than just give this one the time of day. This left the affluent man with a sour feeling. These people were different from his usual company and being stuck around them for the duration of whatever this entailed was far from ideal. They had reached their room and the smaller man opened the door. Andrew moved to step inside before noticing a strange box on one of the beds. "Okay..." His hand ran through his bangs before making a weak gesture towards the carrier. "WHAT is that?" |

"Sorry." she stated plainly. The way she said this was loaded with both regret and a hint of anger. Alraada wasn't sure if she should be sorry or not "I'm not all that good talking to people I get angry easily, if that wasn't apparent." Unlike a certain someone.She didn't easily forgive when she felt her trust was violated even on the smallest terms. She looked over at him and nodded lightly. "I'll try not to be too mad." Her expression didn't say that she was intent on being happy, but she was sincere in the fact she didn't want to be angry. She wouldn't want to be angry with someone who would be stuck with for three months, despite the fact that she was fully convinced he hated her. |

Then again, plot took a backseat to constant bickering and unintentionally hilarious dialogue. Simon was already invested. He leaned forward, eyes glued to the screen... And, were those tears in his eyes? He was like a young, pearl clutching dame. He just needed the pearls... - "Oh, that's just Fritters." An agitated grumble from the cage. Rin walked forward, opening the cage and letting the ferret climb up his arm and onto his shoulder. "Um... He's famous on instagram." Rin then took to flipping out his phone and pulling up his instagram. It was filled to the brim with photos of the snowy white ferret doing cute ferret things and being ever so photogenic. There were even some selfies of Rin, either with Fritters or on his own. |

Maicy thought about it. "I think that we were just done talking about our jobs" Maicy thought about another thing to talk with Aberdeen for a moment. "So, what type of movies do you like?" She tried. Aberdeen paused for a moment, not entirely sure what kind of movies they actually enjoyed. The last movie they watched was a horror flick with a ridiculous premise that made them feel a bit sickened, not due to gore but more so....cultural reasons..? Aberdeen shrugged at this question. "Eh, I don't watch a lot of movies. Or TV for that matter. I just kinda sit at home and....do nothing.." Aberdeen was quickly realizing how boring their life truly was, although they were still hiding a few, somewhat more, interesting facts about themself. But those little secrets could come out in due time "What about you? What movies do you watch?" |
