"Come on Casey, get up." Jarrod bangs on Casey's bedroom door. Casey sighs and pulls on his red hoodie. He'd been in his room for a while now and the others were getting a little concerned. "Rose and Lily have been giving each other makeovers in the main hall and Dom and Camille had been having a staring contest for about 9 minutes now. They've been up waiting for you!"

"Jarrod, I AM up." Casey comments as he stands up and heads to the door, opening it. Jarrod looks like he hasn't slept and Casey couldn't blame him considering that there'd been a killing just a day ago.

"So why the hell have you been in your room for most the morning then? The others and I have been worried about you! We thought you had been killed by someone!" Jarrod rolls his eyes and sighs, trying to not get worked up.

"Look I'm worried I'm gonna turn a corner and someone will be there and try to kill me. You feel the same as well, as does Dom and all three of the girls, Camille and Rose more so than Lily. I'm sorry for worrying you lot but I'm just nervous.." Casey bites his lip, shutting up. Jarrod nods and smiles a little.

"I understand Casey. It's a little dangerous around isn't it?"

"Yea. Now, you said something about a staring contest between Camille and Dom?"

Jarrod chuckles. "And so far, Camille is winning, much to my surprise." Both of them laugh and head down to the main hall. Rose is plaiting her white hair, Lily is doing her nails and both Dom and Cami appear to be having another staring contest. Jarrod and Casey go to them and Casey bursts out laughing. This is just too funny.

"How's things going you two?" he asks. Dom sighs and forces himself to not blink.

"Not good on my end. Cami has won 2 games outta 4!" The blond remains staring at the green-eyed girl in front of him. She doesn't write anything, she just stares...and stares.... and stares.

Dominic snaps and blinks, groaning in frustration. "GAH! I give up!! You're too good!" Camille punches the air triumpthantly and grins. Jarrod chuckles and gives her a kiss on the cheek, making her blush brightly. The others all grin and chuckle as she allows him to wrap his arms around her and hold her close.

"They make such a cute couple!" Lily whispers to Rose, who nods eagerly in agreement. "I mean, come on those two are clearly in a romantic relationship, why the hell don't they just admit it??" Rose shrugs and continues to plait her long hair carefully. she drops a bit and it all falls out, making her sulk. Lily chuckles. "Stay still, let me help you with that."

Casey grins. "I take it you lot have had breakfast then?" he asks, sorting out his hoodie sleeves a little. Dom shakes his head.

"We haven't actually. We've all been waiting for you; never leave a man behind right? Right?" Dom nudges Casey and the two chuckle. Jarrod grins and Camille scribbles something on her notepad.

"We can get going now, right? I'm starving!!" everyone laughs and Camille smiles cheekily.

"Let's get moving!" Lily gets up, both her and Rose giving up with the plaits, and start to run to the Mess Hall. "Race you there!"

Casey runs after them. "H-Hey, wait up!!" Jarrod follows with Camille in pursuit, and Dom rushing after them all, laughing as the gang play a game of tag. Camille seemed to have the most fun, being the Ultimate Camouflager she constantly vanished and re-appeared, scaring everyone and being funny at the same time.

When they reached the Mess Hall, Lily and Rose ran for the tables like the door was on fire and sat themselves down, beginning to chat eagerly. Jarrod went up to the food and Camille followed eagerly, picking up the skirts of her dress again so she wouldn't trip up. Casey went up to grab some food too and Dom grabbed a bowl of fruit to place on the table to save people the trouble of having to run up and down for food.
