*In elimination station*
Arya: What does this twisted tiki even look like? ... *stomach growls* Oh great, I'm becoming Isla. Where's the food at?
*Twisted tiki flies in the air*
Arya: Oh shit, that must be it! Come back!
*Arya jumps and tries to reach for it but it flies away in the other direction*
Arya: Great, I lost it! Fucking stupid piece of -- *sigh* Relax ... Gotta keep working on that. Let me just go find some food ...
*This morning ...*
*Chloe throws rocks into the ocean on the dock*
Chloe: Now if only the water was Arya's face ...
*Jay approaches Chloe*
Jay: You like to skip rocks too?
Chloe: Jesus, you scared me ... A little more warning next time would be nice.
Jay: My apologies. I just have yet to find someone who can match my rock skipping abilities, haha. I'm Jay, by the way.
Chloe: Yeah, I know who you are. Mandatory episode one introductions, remember?
Jay: Right, my bad ... So, what's your reason for penetrating the water's surface with a dense circular object?
Chloe: Huh? What do you mean?
Jay: If you're skipping rocks by yourself its probably because you're thinking about something.
Chloe: ... Fine. You're good. The fact that Arya is here is bugging me ... I'm trying not to lose my cool about it, but admittedly I'm ... Still not over everything that happened.
Jay: Ah, yeah I'm sorry about that ... Events like that take time to get over for sure. Not speaking from experience, just from what I've heard.
Chloe: Thanks, reassuring ...
Jay: As far as I can tell, I think you're doing the right thing. Making a scene about it in front of everyone would definitely put a target on your back. Better to stay clear from the drama.
Chloe: I know. I just didn't want to deal with it right now.
Jay: You're gonna have to eventually, so maybe this is a good opportunity to move past it. You don't have to get back together with her, but maybe forgiving and moving on would allow you both to grow.
Chloe: I guess you make a good point ... I don't know. Why are you being so nice to me?
Jay: Isn't it sad that in today's age, we question when people are nice to one another? Just wanted to help you out. You seem bothered.
Chloe: I am ... Well, uh, thanks. I really appreciated that ...
Jay: I'd be happy to help any further if you want. You know where I'll be! *walks away*
*Luna is looking at them from the cliff face*
Luna: What on Earth was that about?
(C) Chloe: Maybe Jay is right ... If not now, then when am I going to get over this? I don't want to feel this way forever ... Hmph. Hate it when attractive hippies give good advice.
(C) Jay: Besides strangely having a thing for people on the rebound, I find Chloe's mystique to be charming. However, I am also interested in seeing if I can't get her to utilize my strategy from last season of staying clear of any drama. This way, I can look at it from an outside perspective and I'll use her experience to make tweaks to my own plan.
*In the mansion's dining area*
Khandi: Mm mm mm! Khandi is enjoying this quality breakfast! Speaking of enjoyin', how were your travels Willow?
Blair: Oh yes, we are all so interested.
Willow: Well Khandi, it was a lot of fun! We hit a lot of different countries, but after a while I was definitely ready to take a break and go home. Or in this case ... Be dragged back onto this show.
*Krystal, Jesse and Apollo enter*
Willow: Ooo, Jesse, Krystal! Come sit with us!
*Krystal and Jesse go sit with them*
Apollo: I didn't get an invitation!? Do they not like me?!
Chefette: Them? Not liking you? Fml. What a crime. I can't believe it.
Apollo: Chefette, I am no longer scared of you! But I must confide in you, I see all of these cliques forming and it worries me! What am I to do?
Chefette: Sounds like a you problem, fml. Just go and insert yourself. You just won a season, fml.
Apollo: Yeah ... Yeah you're right! I can do this! Hey guys, mind if I--
*Apollo trips and the pancakes fall on him*
Apollo: Oh come on!
Krystal: Remind me how he won again?
Jesse: He's a smart cookie. We should invite him over here.
Khandi: Sure, if he didn't go run away in embarrassment!
Blair: What happened to us all splitting up? You just had to call them over ...
Willow: Sorry that I want to hang with my friends! Besides, I never agreed to that deal! That was all on you guys. We can't enjoy breakfast together?
Blair: I just don't want to have to spend more time with certain people than I have to.
Jesse: Hey Blair, everything alright?
Krystal: I thought I got some coffee this morning but looks like I got tea instead.
Khandi: Gurl shut up, you got milk!
(C) Jesse: I can tell Blair is bothered by something ... Whatever it is, I really don't think I can afford the added stress of making sure she's okay the entire season. I want to play without any distractions ... Is that too much to ask? Am I selfish? ...
