*takes a sip of whatever the fuck you just sipped*

Acting is... mainly what i do right now i guess. Like literally speaking that is what my job is, i just kinda... ended up doing it. I never really had goals as a kid, or as a teen, or.... even as an adult really. I was always a C student, never really interested in academics or the future, it was more fun to just chill, you know? hang out? party?

I loved reality TV, so when I turned 21 I sent in an application tape to CBS to be on Big Brother Season 20 and by some amazing stroke of luck (or charisma?) i got accepted. So i did that, and well.... you know how that worked out. After the season was over and i was allowed to go home.... like.... yeah i had $50,000, but i was still without any useful assets except for the fame i'd gained from being on TV, and it was, nice... for a while. i was getting paid for interview appearances and all that. having money was nice.

it was alright having money for once, but it got boring. I thought to myself, "Patton? you're famous now, you can do anything! what do you want to do the most?" and at that. exact. moment. CSI: Miami came back from a commercial break. It was pretty much a sign from God. I found out CSI: London was doing auditions for extras and side characters for season 1 and the rest is history.

Brick Johnson here, 11 o'clock eyewitness news correspondent. They say journalism's dead, well I'm here to tell you Syndicators that we don't stand for that on channel 6. You can count on me to bring you the real story first.

Lilly. Oh, my Lilly. I'll never forget the day her bakery caught fire. My cameras were on the scene within 25 minutes, almost before the fire department was in position. Everything was sorted, but let me tell you what -- I was out of sorts. I was a goner the moment I saw those strong hands (+1 Gentleness) kneading the dough of her signature breads. The intensity of those piercing eyes (-1 Gentleness) almost bowled me over and knocked me from my reverie. And that smile (+1 Gentleness) brought me right back. She put my mind at war with itself, and my body at war with the open air separating us. I could hardly contain myself.

Posted: **Sun Feb 25, 2018 10:45 am**

What happened when we met? I had always watched Brick on the news; I never knew I'd actually come face to face with his muscular frame (+1 Discipline) that made all the women swoon and made him the most popular Channel 6 broadcaster. There was a small fire in my bakery, which I even put out myself, but there he was...ready to report; intimidating me as he stared at my disshelved and flustered face. His frame was muscular but features perfectly cute (+1 Gentleness), which was an electrifying and overwhelming combination of rugged handsome and innocent cute. But that crooked nose (-1 Sincerity), that one imperfection that I adore very much--the one imperfection you can see a lot more clearly when standing a mere distance from his face--speaks volume of how little vanity my Brick has and I knew there was something special about him.

You look like one.

No, no I meant that as a compliment! You're pretty lean (+1 Discipline), which is a good look for a white collar guy. And you got the whole Nerdy Glasses (+1 Sincerity) thing going on.

Also your character has a Sensuous Voice (+1 curiosity) but my character is NOT going to say that.

Posted: **Mon Feb 26, 2018 12:37 am**

Ah, thanks Mattan. I gotta tell ya, a real manly man like me, working hard and bringing home the bacon appreciates someone who can respect the old school ways. Maybe I can just tell from that old school cell phone of yours (-1 Curiosity) that your like that? You even have abit of old school eloquence (+1 Extroversion).

...Perhaps your also the type to hold hands? Maybe not, but I did notice a softer side with your shaky hands (+1 Sensitivity)... oh! I mean, If you wanna hold hands with me, this man has no problem with that. Hahahaha!

*chuckles... speedily*

Only if we go for a stroll. I could use the exercise, and I like being able to walk about the nicer streets of town.

*Goes walking, if Ben decides to come with*

As for the cell phone, I can't tell you how often people notice that. Most just jeer at it and call me a tech-hater. But... well, you see... I have really large thumbs. I can't type on those tiny touch screens, and I can't handle the phones that look like tablets. So I stick with my buttons.

*while holding hands with Ben, nudges him slightly*

I like pushing buttons.

Chapter 1 - Everything Feels So Right!

Oh that lovely time at the start of a relationship. When you can't stop thinking about your last date and looking forward to the next one. When everything they do seems so cute and endearing. Except for that one little habit that gets on your nerves.... Is it simply a small things or a sign of something worse down the road? Will you rush headlong into love? Do you bring it up now, or overlook it for the time being?

BOTH CHOOSE

A. Why make waves so early? I wouldn't want to seem unreasonable, it might destroy the good thing we've got going! Besides, it's such a small thing. Barely even important!

B. Addressing something head on is always the best way. Of course it might hurt their feelings or make me seem a little hard to get along with, but at least I'm being honest with them about who I am. And hopefully it helps them be honest with me too! No reason to put the problems off until they get worse.

DO NOT PUT YOUR ANSWER IN THREAD. PM THEM TO ME AND I WILL LET YOU POST IT ONCE BOTH ANSWERS ARE RECEIVED

Choose A or B according to what you think your character would do. PM the answer to me. Once Quin has done the same, you guys can both post it into the thread, either just by saying the answer or RPing it a bit if you so desire.

Hm.

I'm not super comfortable with that, but we can talk about it later. After all, It's not like you meant anything by it necessarily.

Posted: **Mon Mar 05, 2018 1:41 pm**

I chose to address things head-on (B) as well. I've experienced too many lies and deceptions as a reality TV star. There's no place for such things in my personal life.

I'm just so happy with the way things are and where they are, I didn't want to make a huge deal out of something that could solve itself in time on its own. Making a whole issue out of nothing isn't my style; making a big fuss out of something so trivial just seems like a waste of effort and energy. Less drama, more love and happiness.

(A. Why make waves so early? I wouldn't want to seem unreasonable, it might destroy the good thing we've got going! Besides, it's such a small thing. Barely even important!)

I'm kind of imagining based on this description that this is like a weird knock-off of the tv show Friends where everyone's just dtf.

Do we all know each other and live in the same apartment?

Always pick what your character would choose. You can keep in mind the traits you've got and the personality dimensions to help guide you in those decisions too.

Ok, cos I knew what Jay's character would have picked but it wouldnt be what mine would pick so I wasn't sure if I'd lose points by choosing off character

Posted: **Mon Mar 05, 2018 5:27 pm**

Nah, you wouldn't lose points. You do also have goal of winning so sometimes you may be considering the other character too, buts it always about the two characters, never about the players.

I thought it would be better to learn to live with eachother's quirks so I chose A. But B sounds much better coming from your mouth.
