Invitational: Closed Doors

Know - Eachother

The relaxing noise of running water splashing off of the plates was the only sound aside from the chirping birds outside that could be heard.
Tea kettle enjoyed mornings like these. It reminded her of how it was at her home,- back in Europe.
She often wondered how her children got along. From the news she'd been hearing,- they've been great. Although- she has been told they miss her lots.
But- soon, she'd get to see them again. She didn't really think she'd stay here for long- on this show. She wasn't a competition-type. With a preference to the indoors.

Twisting the tap, the water stopped and she dried off the last plate. It was nice of that boy to include running water and essentials in the cabins. You don't get that everywhere.
Smiling, she huffed, and placed a hand on her hip, admiring the work she'd done.
She chose to wake up extra early- mostly because she had that breakfast to prepare for those two other boys- Balloon and Nickel- the ones that seemed to be arguing last night.
Nothing some nice tropical breakfast and a chat can't solve.
Clapping, she took her apron and tied it around her, prepping the tray for the breakfast.
She'd spoken to them earlier on- and it was agreed that they'd meet at eight in the morning.
The shorter one didn't seem most fond of that idea though.

She hummed to herself, and began preparing the breakfast.

It didn't take long, and soon enough, it was finished. It looked quite appetising. Perhaps, if there's leftovers she could offer them around.

She found herself grinning at that.
The host- Mephone- she recalled him announcing there'd be 'no filming' for the next week or so- so they all had some time to get to know the place,- and maybe eachother.
She figured that's what she wanted to do.
Even if her main idea wasn't winning- that million would still be amazing for her to have- and it'd help her out a lot. Befriending the folks here would surely be an advantage in that area.
And- just befriending new people in general is also a great thing.

She strolled over to the door, placing the tray of breakfast on the counter- and slid on her shoes.

She then retrieved the tray, and balanced it on one arm while she used the other to quickly open the door.
Once it was open, she slipped out- and the morning breeze felt wonderful. The sun shone, covering the entire island.
She could see palm trees in the distance- and the big hill. The sand looked golden. Even the turned off lanterns along the cabins looked like they belonged. Truly excellent decoration.

She whistled as she made her way down to 'the rocks', as Nickel had put it. The place was just a rather large grass area close to the beach with a bunch of rocks that you could either sit on, or were big enough to be shelter.
It was close to that 'elimination area'.

Feeling the warmth on her skin, she walked along, feeling quite confident about the breakfast idea.

She figured she'd arrived when she heard nearby groaning.
Rounding the corner around another medium sized hill, she noticed Nickel leaning against a rock, Balloon sitting close to him.

"- It's only small talk, Nickel. It won't kill you."

She could hear the conversation in parts as she came closer, waiting for an appropriate moment to introduce herself.

"-Exactly! The worst thing on the damn planet. It fucking sucks."
A frustrated blowing.
"Relax on the vulgar there, buddy. It's clearly not helping."

She coughed, and held the tray in her hands- stepping into the conversation.

"Hello! Interruptin' somethin'?"

Balloon looked up and away from Nickel, a smile appearing on his face once he recognized who spoke.
"Oh, hi TK! No, you're fine. Here,- have a seat."
Balloon rose up, dusting off his shorts and stepping away from the rock he'd been sat on.
It.. appeared to be the only sit-able rock there.
She gave a sweet smile, and waddled over to the rock, sitting down and placing the tray on her lap.
