Space.

One day, I’m gonna go up into space!

That was all Ashton ever really thought about as a kid, zooming around pretending that he was in a spaceship ready to land on Pluto (because Pluto is the absolutely coolest). He was one of those that believed that dreams will come true if you try hard enough, those wide-eyed bushy tail kids. And when NASA established themselves in 1958, it was like a little spark that lit in him to join them. Of course, 16 year old Ashton couldn’t simply just waltz into NASA and charm them with sad puppy dog eyes to get privileged training. And seeing how most of the astronauts were chosen through being pilots or being military, he signed on with the US army almost immediately.

It didn’t seem like such a bad route to go to, he soon found his niche in the medical side of the military, working from the shadows and helping soldiers, and starting to really enjoy his time there. Even though some of the times got really ugly, he kept his smile on and his head held high, believing it’s all going to be worth it. With a solid record in the army, he applied to NASA with their testimony after his unit was withdrawn. It took him three tries before they finally picked him for the Candidate Programme. Who would’ve known that at 22, he’d be this close to being able to go out there, into the stars?

The worst part about training is knowing that not everyone makes it there. What would they be training for if that’s the case? For that one in a million chance to make it. The whole candidate programme just kept on training, some got picked, some dropped out, and the rest kept going. After four years Ashton heard his name called out during a morning announcement; the team for yet another mission for project Apollo; Apollo 8, a four-men mission to orbit around the moon. Though he was just there young and naive, hell they might even cut him off, but it was a chance. To hear his name called, to see what Earth looks like from above, to make it all worth it.

They spent most of 1968 training for launch, all they did was eat, breathe, and sleep for the launch, physically, mentally and emotionally preparing for, the worst case scenario, a one way trip. Somehow war had long prepared him on so many levels already.

So he thought he was ready for the life he planned out.

On one of those late night training, Ashton had headed home, yet never reaching his doorstep. Screams of pain were drowned out by the hand clamping down hard over his mouth, body burning from blinding pain through his back getting colder, almost certain that was it for him. Everything numbed away, but he recovered his senses to see not his Apollo team, but a whole bunch of strangers, limbs chained down to the bed, and scared was an understatement.

They gave him a night to rest, they hardly explained anything, they kept him on a sedative, they sat him down with someone, everyday, a scientist - Maya, they being the DIA. or FBI, they blurred together to him. Somehow with his military and astronomy background, and some chance killing him would pay off in a revival, they thought he’d be useful to them. Some fucking recruitment this was. All NASA did was a cover up that he died during training and gave him a proper military funeral, hoping to give closure for the missing astronaut.

Ashton thought he was going to calmly figure out what happened, and then they made the pain come back again. He was confused, in pain, and just wanted it to end, everything to stop. Follow our advice and you’ll be safe. You’ll be fine soon. I promise. Promise? He took their word for it, and believed, like he always did. Do this experiment, join this mission, eliminate this target, tell us what you see, tell us what the universe says. He did what he did that he thought would make it go away.

Just take their advice for a few years, try and adapt to.. whatever this new thing is, and then maybe leave them and go back to NASA. Just a couple of months.. 3 years. 6 years. 10 years. 25. 35. 50. Advice turned into orders, and Ashton doesn’t even blink twice before obeying them. It started off easy; hand-eye coordination experiments, intelligence tests, recon missions, sitting with Maya, talking about space, astrophysics problem solving. Then it got worse; lead a mission’s intel, sit with Maya, assassinate a target, sit with Maya, torture a captured suspect, sit with Maya. They just kept whispering back in his ear, “You don’t want the pain to come back, do you?”

For 50 years, underneath the Washington HQ, he was used as a tool, a weapon, day in day out. Maya was the only anchor to some kind of sanity, to talk about space, to talk about anything, it was just so easy with her. Yet Ashton was desensitised and lost himself somewhere in the pool of blood he spilt and the pile of bodies he stacked up. To the point where he felt nothing. He was nothing. He can hardly remember who he was before all of this.

Nothing but their good little s o l d i e r.

Ashton never thought it would end, until it did, until Maya left him a letter and never came back. And he could feel it, the rip in his soul when it happened, like someone tore his heart leaving him bleeding in a pain even they couldn’t inflict on him. The complete absolute knowledge that she was gone - that she ripped them apart herself. Suddenly everything came to a standstill.

“What are my orders?” every day he would ask, not sure of what to do anymore, he was just lost. It was like without Maya, suddenly he was useless here. Every day, he continued to ask the same question. Until he finally got an answer: “Your orders are to move to New York.”

Personality Types

MBIT type: ISFJ, The Defender

+ Supportive, Reliable and Patient, Observant, Loyal and Hardworking

- Humble and Shy, Represses their feelings, Overload themselves, Too Altruistic

Altruistic and well-rounded, no other personality type is so well-suited to be of service of others. They can always be relied on to get the job done on time. They are rarely sitting idle while a worthy cause remains unfinished. They have a tendency to underplay their accomplishments, and while their kindness is often respected, more cynical and selfish people are likely to take advantage of ISFJs’ dedication and humbleness by pushing work onto them and then taking the credit.

Hogwarts house: Huffledor Trustworthy, Tenacious | Chivalry, Brave

Astrological sign: Scorpio Loyal, Secretive, Self Reliant, Brooding, Protective

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

A lawful neutral character acts as law, tradition, or a personal code directs him. Order and organization are paramount to her. He may believe in personal order and live by a code or standard, or he may believe in order for all and favor a strong, organized government. Whether a law is good or evil is of no import as long as it brings order and meaning. A lawful neutral character will keep his word if he gives it and will never lie. He may attack an unarmed foe if necessary. He will never harm an innocent. He may use torture to extract information, but never for pleasure. He will never kill for pleasure, only in self-defense or in the defense of others. Or when ordered to do so.

The City We Knew

Things are very different than I remember them. Scratch that. Everything is different. People act like I'm an old man when I talk about how it used to be. But I'm really not.

Twenty-five isn't old, right?

Maybe it is these days.

South Ashton used to be a booming place, full of life, love, and fun. People used to come here to try and make their lives better. It used to be a shining beacon beacon of hope. Tall skyscrapers used to make up the skyline. Everyone used to go down to Brisk Bay or up to Hollow Point for a weekend getaway. Emphasis on "used to." The transformation started only a few months ago but it feels like a hell of a lot longer than that. If you were here then you'd understand. If you lived through the changes, saw them as they happened, then you'd know. Trust me.

Most of my friends are dead. Well, dead, or left the city and it's horrors behind. The rapid destruction of this place was too much. South Ashton had nothing left for them. They had to leave in one way or another.

They had no choice.

I know that's true for Tommy and Ophelia. And that it’s true for Heather and Sam. They had no choice. They had no other options. They’d never live to see thirty. Hell, none of them lived to see twenty-nine.

But I really don't want to talk about that right now.

It all started when the Halloran Power plant closed.

I guess you could say it started a year before. The year prior to its sudden closing Halloran Power fell in trouble. People found out that the company was dumping it's waste into Brisk Bay. No one knew how extensive the damage was. Activists just wanted them to admit their wrongdoings and stop. That was it.

No knew that they had been dumping waste into the bay ever since the company started. They had been doing so since the late 50′s.

Sixty-three long, long, years.

So Halloran Power closed it's doors. No one wanted nuclear power anymore. But no one thought of the consequences. And no one thought about what the nuclear waste had been doing to the water supply. Or the changes that would result when it stopped.

Well, I did. But no one listened.

Everyone thought I was just some disgruntled employee wanting his job back. Or that the radiation got to my head and I was going crazy. They'd shut me out no matter what data I had backing me up. They pushed me out even though I proved them wrong. So I pushed back. I went everywhere stating my case. City hall meetings. The mayor's office. Online message boards. Conspiracy websites. Anywhere I could be sure that someone would hear what I had to say.

No one cared.

No one listened.

Then the first kid died.

Her name was Jaynie Willis. She was an adorable five year old with red pigtails and freckles on her nose. She was an only child. The light of her parents' lives. A true ray of sunshine.

The doctors ruled her death as radiation poisoning.

I was the only one who knew it was opposite.

The truth was Jaynie had no radiation in her system when she died. She had no symptoms of it before she died. As sad as it is to say her death proved my theory to be correct. Our town, and it's people, evolved to accept radiation as well as the human body accepts oxygen. It became that vital to our lives. And since it had ripped away people would continue to die unless something was done. But once again no one would listen to me.

The death toll rose to the hundreds by the end of the month. People of all ages were suddenly dying. The old, the young, and those in between. The lack of radiation running through our water was killing us.

Then people started to change.

I don't remember who was the first one. It wasn't like what happened to Jaynie. It wasn’t as sudden so the first victim wasn't a constant imprint in my mind's eye.

But I do remember what happened next. The changes weren't easy to spot but everyone was on alert. The local news broadcast ran a general list of "signs" which really just boiled down to anything that seemed strange. People talked about bringing in the CDC. People talked about leaving as far away as they could get. People were worried about their kids and the future.

And still no one listened to me.

The only thing the living victims had in common was an abnormal desire for violence. A handful of the victims had series of open sores. Some of them had sagging skin. Others had nothing wrong with their skin at all. Some lost all their teeth. Others lost all their hair and nails. Many had kept their teeth, hair, and nails despite their change. And others had no psychical changes and instead developed higher brain functions.

But they were all disgustingly violent.

And that's when the city became a literal hell on earth.

You know how they say that hell is full of fire and unbearably hot? That demons run rampant inflicting pain on everyone? That's exactly what the living victims did to South Ashton. Fires blazed constantly in those first few days. Through the day and all through the dark of night. Smoke covers everything now. Looking out whatever windows that might still be intact all you see is darkness and floating bits of ash.

The living victims began hunting us down. Hiding in wait for anyone to pop their head out hoping that the worst was over. Those with a deeper thirst for violence broke into houses. Ripped children from their parents. Tortured and decapitated anyone who fought back.

Tommy and Ophelia were among those who were killed. But that wasn't the worst part.

The ordeal still haunts my nightmares.

We were hiding in Tommy and Ophelia’s house. Specifically we were hunkering down in the panic room. A group of them had broke into Tommy's house. He had thought we were fine in the panic room but that wasn't the case. The group had found a way to break the electronic lock on the door. When that happened the safe room opened up for them.

Four or five of the monsters, or whatever the hell they were now, rushed in. They shoved the three of us into a corner. We had no way to escape. No weapons or even an idea how to fight back. Ophelia started crying. Tommy held her tightly in a feeble attempt to console his wife.

They quickly grabbed her and ripped her away.

Tommy tried to fight back but he was no match for their numbers. They beat him as quickly as he had rushed to help his wife. All the while Ophelia was being held by a pair of them. She was screaming and crying for them to stop. Tommy was thrown back against the wall as if he was a rag-doll. He also tried to plead but it was no use.

Monsters don't care for others.

Tommy and I stood helplessly as the group violently stripped Ophelia. We were forced to watch as they took turns raping her. Her screams filled the panic room and echoed off it's walls. All the while they laughed with a hellish, evil, glee. When they were done they stood in a circle around Ophelia’s prone body.

One of them pulled a small pocket knife from a pocket of their tattered pants. They whispered to the one standing next to them. One held Ophelia's ankles down and one held her arms. The other one held her face still. And the one with the knife held the hilt so that the blade hung precariously above her right eye. She struggled and cried but they held her still. The one with the knife turned to Tommy with a sick smile and slid the blade underneath her eyelid.

Ophelia and Tommy's screams melded into one long, agonized, sorrowful, sound.

As Ophelia lay on the floor, bloodied and defeated, the group began to attack Tommy.

At first it was just words. Mocking jabs about how he let the previous events happen. How he wasn't man enough to protect his wife. How he cried like a little bitch instead of doing something.

But then they began literally kicking him while he was down.

He sat there and took it. The shock had set in and he was beyond dazed. I just sat and watched because I didn't know what to do. I was frozen and afraid.

Like a deer in headlights.

Then they pulled Tommy to his feet. One of them, the one who held Ophelia's head, harshly smacked Tommy across the face. His head spun from the impact. They laughed as blood began to trickle from his split lip.

The one with the knife offered the blade to Tommy. He was mocked into taking it. I whispered pleas telling him not to listen to them. I tried to tell him we could fight back or trick them and escape. But my words fell on deaf ears.

Tommy was told what to do with the knife and his face turned white.

Tears rolled down his face; "Please. I--I can't do it."

They pushed him closer to his wife. He was shoved to the floor so that he sat on his knees over Ophelia. They whispered, almost seductively, about how much pain she was in. How helpful it would be if he did it. How it would be quickly over with. How it was the only option; the right thing to do.

Ophelia looked up at Tommy with her good eye. Her face was covered in blood, snot, and tears. She whispered weak pleas to him. She wanted him to do it. She wanted this nightmare to be over with.

"It's okay," she said. "It's better than the alternative."

Tears ran down his cheeks as he rubbed the side of her face. He nodded and then bent down to kiss her. They kissed for a long time; knowing it was their last. When Ophelia pulled away Tommy bit his bottom lip and gripped the hilt hard. In a quick motion he ran the blade across her throat.

A thin red line formed on the surface of the skin.

But it wasn't enough. She was still alive. He pushed the knife a bit deeper and sliced into her skin again. More blood emerged but not that much. He tried for a third time and Ophelia began to painfully choke on her own blood.

"You--you said it would be quick! You sa--said ... You said she wouldn't be in pain anymore!" he cried; angrily gripping the knife.

"Do it again," they said in terrifying, and somewhat soothing, unison.

"You have to," I whispered. But my words were drowned out by the sounds of Ophelia choking.

Tommy turned the knife so that the tip of the blade pointed towards Ophelia's bleeding neck. With tears streaming down his face he brought the knife above his head. Gripping it with both hands he plunged the blade into his wife. Blood spurted from the wound; staining Tommy's face. He pulled the blade across her neck and through her flesh. She stopped moving. Stopped breathing.

Tommy sagged, defeated, and dropped the knife.

“Do whatever you’re gonna do to me,” he whispered. “I have nothing left.”

“Beg,” the group commanded.

With his head hung Tommy dragged himself to where the group was. He stopped at their feet. Looking up at them with tears in his eyes he tried to speak but he couldn’t. His grief was too much, too sudden, and too violent. They waited. They watched. They sneered and snickered at his sorrow.

“Please,” he whispered. “Do whatever you want. Please. Just get it over with.”

They stood there as he repeated his plea over and over again. He crumbled to the floor; folding over himself.

Just as Tommy thought that he’d had to live with everything that transpired for the rest of his life one of the group reached out and pulled him to his feet. They grabbed the sides of his head and pressed their thumbs on his eyes. Pushing harder and harder Tommy began screaming in pain. Blood seeped from underneath the monster’s thumbs. When they let go Tommy fell back on his knees. His face was a bloody mess.

“Sebastian,” he said; staring out unable to see where I was.

“You have to stop this. You’re the only person who knows what to do. Sebastian, promise me you’ll do something.”

“I promise,” I said grabbing his hand.

I was harshly shoved away from him. One of them held me in place and prevented me from moving. I had to watch as four of them picked Tommy off the floor. One held his right arm while another held his left. Another held his right leg. The last one held his left. Each of them tightly wrapped their arms around Tommy’s limbs.

They pulled.

And pulled.

Tommy screamed in vicious agony as they pulled him apart.

When Tommy’s remains joined Ophelia’s on the blood stained floor of the panic room I just stared. This was unbelievable. It was a nightmare. Nothing that just happened actually happened. But the sudden vomit that began to mix with the blood told me that this was actually real. For some unknown reason they left me physically unharmed. Psychologically I was destroyed. Maybe they knew that. Maybe they wanted me to suffer. Maybe they wanted me to wish I was dead.

Now that I walk around what used to be South Ashton I wonder how everyone could just ignore the truth.

Tommy and Ophelia weren’t the only ones who’ve suffered. They weren’t the only ones who died because of what happened. The death toll of the past few months makes the record books.

Sam and Heather were two other people I couldn’t save.

Two other lives I destroyed.

Two other people I killed.

It was a couple weeks after the deaths of Tommy and Ophelia. I was in the worst place I’d ever been in during my life. My days were spent wandering and looting. I wasn’t eating. I wasn’t sleeping. I couldn’t let myself even close my eyes for a second. Every time I did I saw the faces of Tommy, Ophelia, and Jaynie. So my nights were spent making traps and killing any of the monsters that crossed my path.

Sam and Heather found me.

I was in a daze wandering the streets near Brisk Bay. Almost everyone avoided it since Halloran Power closed. I thought it would be the perfect spot to wait. Wait and let death take me. That was the plan anyway. I began to black out and I closed my eyes; hoping it was what I wanted.

But then a hand shoved me and a woman’s voice broke through the dark.

“You alright there, buddy?”

I woke up in their safe house on the edge of the beach.

Sam was the one who found me first. She had better eyes than her girlfriend and she also had a pair of binoculars. So she had spotted me before I even made it to the beach. Sam said that they could tell I was still human. That I was safe.

“You’re wrong about that,” I said.

Heather and Sam laughed.

“Oh, no, buddy.”

“You were so exhausted that you’ve slept for four days straight after we brought you here,” Heather said.

I whipped my head in her direction. I couldn’t believe that. Four whole days. I’ve been in their company for four days. And they still wanted me here. But then I noticed her eye.

Or lack thereof.

She had one blue eye. I assumed it was the left one as it was on the left side of her face. But the right side was a closed lid. A mess of hastily done stitches. Scarred skin that was discolored and painful looking.

“You can stop staring now,” she said in her slight Southern accent.

“Sorry.”

She shrugged.

I thanked them for their hospitality and rose from the bed. I rushed to leave but Sam blocked the door. She crossed her arms over her chest; defiantly. I held my hands up and backed away. Sam smirked as I sat down at their dining room table. Heather brought me a plate of food.

I wolfed it down.

“Whoa, there. Slow down, buddy. You act like you haven’t eaten in weeks.”

“I haven’t.” I muttered.

They didn’t survive the night. A horde came and tried to break into their house. Heather grabbed a pistol and tried to kill as many as she could. But the small gun wasn’t much help.

They saved me and I returned the favor by getting them killed.

No matter what I do pain and the foul stench of death follows me everywhere.

FINALE - It Was Unnatural For Me To Have Any Moments Of Feeling Good About Myself - Richie

DANA

"It's me America, the QUEEN of winning F6 immunity and ruining everyone's plans. Thinking about how sad everyone was feeling when I won is honestly making me CACKLE.

So.. now what? Fuck everyone except Nicholas honestly. I'll be bored out of my mind if he goes home this round, so I'm not letting them happen. I won F6 immunity which is lit and means... IT'S TIME TO FIGHT without fear of what it might mean for my chances at getting further in this game.

Ashton whom? He decides to reach out to me tonight for the first time in the game. It's laughable, and honestly THE MOST™disingenuous thing someone could do at this stage in the game. This sketchy weasel pops into my pms trying to be all ~casual~

On 7/12/17, at 1:30 AM, Ashton wrote: > Hey. I can't believe we haven't talked once this whole game lol

LIKE. IT'S F6 U INSINCERE BITCH. WYD.

I can ABSOLUTELY believe we didn't talk. Let's just call it like it is Ashton, you didn't want to talk to miss me and I wasn't too hot on talking to you either. But at this point? King of inactivity is probably my best option at keeping Nicholas around, so i'll be a fake ass bitch and sell myself to him. That's fine I guess.

All I want is Lily gone and I'll plant whatever garbage lies I have to so I can make it happen. Catch me on the other side of the F6 Tribal Council though, fans. "

ASHTON

Okay I'm gonna tell you a little story about a useless goat named Ashton. He began the game on a tribe he doesn't remember the name of and swapped to another tribe he doesn't remember the name of and finally swapped to another tribe he doesn't remember the name of where he aligned with two powerhouses, Lily and Richie. Lily and Richie did everything for him, added people to the alliance, figured out who he should vote for and even kept him in the game with an idol. But Anakin turns on Obi-Wan, at some point an apprentice has to turn on their master. And for young, naive Ashton...this might be that point. Dana and Nicholas are two easy votes, this could be the time to make a move and take out the biggest player in this game, Lily...or not. Toon in later to see how it all turns out.

RICHIE

"i was so extra for zakriah's vote out smh.. dana went H A R D campaigning to me like i was impressed by her ability to talk and determination so iconic i was shook!!!! unfortunately for her our interests didnt line up at the time so what she was saying didnt work out in her favor but still damn she tried!!! she came to me saying that her/nicholas/zak had 2 vote negators and were voting out lily and how lilys such a big threat and if she makes it to the end the 3 of them are all voting for her......

so i played along and joined an alliance chat with them and i talked to dana a lot about it to the point where i told them i was with them and i said lets vote lily.. my hope was that if they thought i was with them then they wouldnt play both vote negators because i knew lily had 1 vote negator and if i convinced nicolas/zak/dana that i was with them they would have the numbers without playing both negators so that me/lily/chips/ashton would still have the majority or else if they played both it would have been a tie and gone to rocks....

i think my plan worked? i wasnt sure if they were bluffing about the double negator or what their deal was but in the end it worked out where zak played a negator and lily played a negator and i voted with my real alliance and betrayed dana/nicholas/zak and i felt bad about leading them on because it really wasnt THAT necessary but there hasnt been an idol played since i played it at the merge vote so i've been on high alert thats why we voted zak because we figured dana and nicholas would be more likely to play one (RIP ZAK IM SORRY AGAIN) but i couldnt vote out lily because shes a shield for me if i got rid of her last time i would be target #1 in final 6 and be at the bottom of the zak/nic/dana alliance so it just didnt make sense for me to flip... i dont usually lie like that and i hated doing it but it needed to be done to assure everything went down smoothly "

"dana desperately campaigns part 2: nicholas hasnt approached me once to save himself its been all dana and im still shook by how much shes trying like good for her i love it when people are here to play and dont give up she won the immnity when she needed it and doing everything she can to try and put herself in a better position next week impressive and legendary!! the only problem is its very transparent shes saying things that i know arent true shes trying to downplay her game like i str8 up told her shes going to win if shes in the end and she said ""I really… am not. I havent spoken to any of the jurors except Willow. I don’t know Austin or Josh.... like i have never spoken to them"" but i know these things aren't true because i was aligned with austin and he campaigned to keep dana and was giving her information and thats why i idoled him out and i know she talks to zak because i caught her in a lie from her campainging last week vs what she said in the tribe chat

[7/10/17, 4:07:52 PM] Dana Barry (Bouvet Island Host): i talked to zak for the first time in the game… mmmmm right after willow left

[7/10/17, 10:17:16 PM] Dana Barry (Bouvet Island Host): I have a 50 day snap streak with zakriah that I WILL NOT kill for this game so

so im sticking with my 4 of me chips lily and ashton and voting out nicholas... im hoping theres no idol and if there is an idol dana's fixation on lily will mean she goes over me "

ASHTON

I'm voting Nicholas this tribal. I wanna stay loyal to my alliance for now and that might come back to bite me but I think it's the right move. So I tell Dana that I'm not gonna be making a move with her this time and she goes full Ciera Eastin on me, "You guys are stupid, Make a move blah blah blah". Basically throwing a pity party because I'm not doing what she wants. I don't know what she expects when she has been feeding me bullshit about how she's not a jury threat when her whole fucking alliance is on the jury.

IMMUNITY LETS GO. WOO WE NEEDED THIS. BYE DANA PEACE OUT.

It all came down to this immunity challenge if Lily wins she wins the game and we need to stop that. So when Richie won the final immunity I was elated because that meant we could vote her out and actually have a shot at winning the game. It's gonna be a simple vote 3-1 Lily and she's not helping herself by coming after me. So Adios you turned on me in seconds so doesn't feel as bad to have to turn on you.

LILY

I really hate this bullshit. Richie is fake af. Bitch, I told me vote me out at 7 if you aren't taking me to the end. Fake af Richie I never would have done that to you if your ass was on the line. You are going to lose this game and I'm excited to hang this thing to chips or really switch it up and just give the win the Ashton. Proud that I won two of the challenges just wish I could have finished the job so I would finally get a chance at FTC. Really disappointed 😔

RICHIE

"well... i was going to write a confessional about how well everything has gone for me game wise... we got nicholas out then we got dana out and it was our group of 4 that ive been working with this whole time in the end and i won final immunity so i made it and it looks like me chips and ashton are going to the end together and out of us 3 i feel like i definitely played the most strategic and dominant game so i was basically prematurely celebrating my win the second immunity results came out but my .00003 seconds of self confidence faded quickly lmao which is okay because it was unnatural for me to have any moments of feeling good about myself im much more comfortable being back in a place of self loathing!!

i told lily i was voting her out because i really like her and shes so sweet and i didnt want to blindside her like i've been final juror multiple times in other games and its such a shitty position and i just wanted to tell her rather than string her along because i have immunity theres no reason to lie to her... but FUCK she's pissed and it makes sense she feels like ive betrayed her and i kinda have... i neverrrrrr made a final 3 deal with her and i was sure to always choose my words carefully about going to the end together because ive known shes a jury threat just by how likable she is and i know that ive fucked people over and in this game i havent been the most likable person so sitting next to her infront of a jury would be stupid of me but god she went off telling me that shes never going to vote for me that shes not going to be kind shes going to do everything to ruin my reputation in jury  saying ""I do not respect disloyalty. I will destroy your game for this, you can't win solely on challenges. I will say and do everything in my power so you lose this game. That is your choice"" and ""You won't get my vote and I don't care what you do to try and get it. I won't ask you any questions and I will get to that jury and do what I want to ruin your game."" and a lot more.... so it sucks that i hurt her on a personal level and on a game level ive tried to do damage control and i was hoping by telling her this far ahead of the vote would give her time to decompress before going into jury pissed and have a chance to explain myself but i dont think theres any hope for that so RIP "

Episode 1-He’s Going To Be So Mad To Learn I’m Jordan Pines-Meredith

rob is talking to me trying to woo me with my newbie ways hes going to be so mad to learn I’m jordan pines cause rob hates me also I’m excited to see how brandon plays when I’m not telling him how to do

meredith has a great social game i am litterally talking about the weather with rob

 jordan pines is dead long live Meredith Strogonofsky

meredith is real fucking naiv naive oh this is really fun everyone is so nice blah blah blah

Sidenote: i wish i was on the olaf tribe ALL MY FRIENDS ARE THERE Im elsa locked alone in my fucking room while they run around the palace

Wheeew so I'm super excited to play my third Storybook season and this time I hope it turns into a win and nobody calls me a maggot (@Steffen). For my first confessional I'm just gonna the standard run of the mill tribe analysis. 

 Adrian - Adrian seems cool. He told me hasn't played a game in a while so I think I could possibly work with him. He won't try and play too hard but he isn't completely new so he must want to get into a power alliance with somebody and  make it far for his first 

 Ashley - I love Ashley! I've known her for a little while but we've never actually played a game together before so I think it'll be interesting to see how we work together after knowing each other for a while. 

 Ashton - He's new to the whole Skype thing...I haven't really talked to him. Brandon - who? 

 Connor - bye? 

 Meredith - queen. 

 Rob - I like Rob!!! We've talked quite a bit and he's easy to talk to so I hope this develops into a game alliance and we can work together. We also got cast in Comoros together so I think that will bring us even closer together. I think he's one of the only ones I "trust" rn.   

 Veronica - ICONIC QUEEN I LOVE HER. WE'RE ABOUT TO SLAY BECAUSE WE GOT CAST IN COMOROS TOGETHER AND IT'S GONNA BE LITTTTTT. 

Zach - hasn't talked to me? idk

wow i got the best score out of everyone in the game? Literally steffen knows i suck at comps so much soooo either im just really good at that game or these people suck at comps more than i do Also i messaged Kait becuase i thought she was in my tribe so now i want to kill myself fuck was i sent to exile

CONFESSIONAL TIME Okay so I've talked to a few people here on my tribe and I like them. I talked to Luke, Veronica, Mer, and Ashton. Ashton proposed an alliance to me basically and from our conversations, we both want to include Luke and Mer eventually.

I'm good with that, I think Ashton will be viewed as a figurehead in this game so he could work as a shield for me. He also seems to be gaming hard. Luke is cool and we're playing in two games, maybe three. I want to read up on confessionals to know how he truly is. He seems like a threat honestly. Mer is such a cinnamon roll so far. I hope that she makes the merge just so she doesn't feel bitter about the experience. I did. Veronica is similar to Luke with me but I think she'll be more of an utr player, which to me is threatening in a way.

I'm happy to win reward even though I don't think there's much benefit for it but whatever it boosts tribe morale. END CONFESSIONAL TIME

CONFESSIONAL TIME I skimmed over Westeros' confessionals because what is Arrakis? Just the overall thoughts I have about Luke coming from reading them is that he's pretty loyal, but he can be abrasive to the people he's not with. He can also be sneaky too. I don't know. Maybe I should ask STEFFEN about it? END CONFESSIONAL TIME I GUESS

CONFESSIONAL TIME One more for the hosts, I was looking for stuff for my flag and when I searched Falo on google images I got pictures of weird ass dicks... it was traumatizing. END CONFESSIONAL TIME

Phew well, double tribal council already and no me gusta, not at all. While I try to make a flag, please enjoy my song of the day :)

Confessional #1- The games have begun and it's time to play some survivor. My goal is to just try and stay under the radar and be nice with everyone. Hopefully I can stick around for awhile.

Well my first impression of my tribe was that there were some familiar faces which is good. I want to work with Luke becuase iv known him for a while even though we arent close and ideally he will be my number one on this tribe with me. Then theres Veronica, I know Veronica and Zach will 100% be working together so i NEED to be on her good side so that I have both of them with me and not against. I know Zach is more of a lapdog who follows people in games so as long as I have Veronica liking me then Zach will follow her.

Everyone else isnt that talkative at least not while I was in the tribe chat. I was bummed out at first being in exile but now I have an idol so that will be super useful later on down the road. I think the person we will be voting out at tribal will probably be that one guy who didnt do the reward challenge. Honestly I dont remember his name and Im to lazy to learn it.

yo whats up this is day 3, i've been on exile island for the last 20 hours, and i still havent even said hi to heather, nehemiah, regan, or brian and the only person i actually had a conversation with that lasted more than 2 minutes was shea... oh and because i'm on exile i can't compete in immunity... oh and this week its individual immunity because both tribes are going to tribal :) all of that points to the fact that there is no doubt that i will be going home week 1 but i don't know about thaaaaaat because one of the perks of being sent to exile island is having the chance to try and find a hidden immunity idol and..... https://68.media.tumblr.com/4f46e716c928535edcbfb2f03c869826/tumblr_omd9cz01C31w56gxho1_400.gif WHEW y'all made that a production 12 hour wait, then i had to set an alarm for 9am on a sunday morning, then i had to choose a corridor, i got the most vague clue, then yall picked the most random url, THEN it was like oh no not yet bitch you still got work to do and 2 more urls later i finally got it and that's all that matters :) :) :) :) :) :) :) when i get back from exile i'll try and step my social game up so that i can hopefully maybe stay safe on my own and get to keep the idol for later on in the game but i guess we'll see 

yall meredith is playing the goat game hard so far already been asked into an alliance which is so clearly exploit the new player look at this shit

[2017-03-05, 8:23:12 PM] Meredith Stro: they seem nice [2017-03-05, 8:23:18 PM] Meredith Stro: everyone seems really nice [2017-03-05, 8:23:58 PM] Connor Wubbenhorst: what would you think about a lol group of me, you, Ashton, rob, and Luke? [2017-03-05, 8:24:17 PM] Meredith Stro: that sounds really nice [2017-03-05, 8:24:39 PM] Connor Wubbenhorst: Okay awesome! [2017-03-05, 8:24:49 PM] Meredith Stro: is that like an alliance? I’m still not used to how this works lol [2017-03-05, 8:25:05 PM] Connor Wubbenhorst: Yeah it would be :P [2017-03-05, 8:25:15 PM] Meredith Stro: that sounds great :D [2017-03-05, 8:25:23 PM] Meredith Stro: my first alliance this is so exciting [2017-03-05, 8:25:49 PM] Connor Wubbenhorst: Hahaha

meredith is a lil bitch

Ok so WHEW.  Arendelle.  I'm here! Looking at the initial cast, I see some people I definitely like and want to work with.  Amanda, Ashley, Carson, Luke... love those 4 especially.  I know I can probably work with Amanda and Ashley in this game simply because I have never fucked them over, while I have been a messy binch with both Carson and Luke.  It'll be a miracle if they work with me. Like lol [3/3/17, 9:36:45 PM] carson k. (comoros host): HI [3/3/17, 9:38:51 PM] carson k. (comoros host): BRian [3/3/17, 9:39:15 PM] daddy brain ravioli: HI CARSON DJDJSJS [3/3/17, 9:39:23 PM] carson k. (comoros host): I'm having flashbacks [3/3/17, 9:39:31 PM] daddy brain ravioli: ME TOO [3/3/17, 9:39:41 PM] carson k. (comoros host): get away from me brain [3/3/17, 9:39:50 PM] daddy brain ravioli: ILY DONT LEAVE ME So now I just have to work my magic on people, and I can hopefully make em love meeeee. -3- Also, THANK GOD I won first immunity.  I don't think I necessarily needed it??? but not being the first boot is goals asf.  I think Heather might be voted out???  Not that I want to, but I just don't really see any other options.  And I could technically throw out a name, but I don't feel safe enough going into the future with a name coming out of my mouth and then that person DOESN'T go.

so ya boi has got an alliance!!! it's me, luke, ashton, meredith, and rob. rob? bb. love rob. hosted rob in congo. love rob, no worries there ashton and meredith? both of their first games ever, if they're telling the truth, which i hope they are. it was SO easy to bring them together for an alliance. i think this is the first time ive played with total total newbies to games in general so i think it'll be easy to tag them along and use them however i want. i just need to know when to cut them when its time luke im a little nervous about, we played a game called mindoro and uhhh idk i voted him out and im worried there may be some hard feelings. idk. as it stands right now, the five of us are voting brandon because he just isnt active so RIP! but so far this is going pretty well, knock on wood

tbh a majority of these people be silent af idk who is bout to be the one voted out better not be me cause as of now I suck at orgs so I just want to float and hope all is good Atm Heather seems easy to push for so I'm not gonna say it but I'm gonna agree to it

One by one everyone just coming in saying hi i'm dropping heathers name like a fast as I can Heather legit hasn't even added me like good riddance tbqh plus it was fucking stressful to find who the fuck her avi was for that flag tonight should be what I like to call a wake up call. If you're not going to even pretend you're active then bye bye

Confessional #2- So an alliance has been made with myself, Rob, Luke, Connor and Meredith. I trust this group quite a bit especially since it doesn't seem like the rest of them have any options. Our plan is to get rid of Brandon because he's just not helping the tribe win any challenges.

 Did heather literally just apply to infiltrate and promote her game She literally just pm'd me the link Without ever speaking to me
