"right? Yeah, Don't Know What I Was Expecting But This Is Better," He Agreed, Leaning Against The Railing.

"right? yeah, don't know what I was expecting but this is better," he agreed, leaning against the railing. he hadn't really looked into what he was signing up for before he showed up here. "uh, didn't really put much thought into it really. just got out of a relationship. like to do new things, figured what the hell?" he answered, looking over. "what about you?"

"The view is amazing here." Louis stood outside on the balcony, taking in his surroundings. Part of him wasn't sure what he was doing here as it might not be the best idea to join a reality show with all the backlash he's been getting lately, but his management thought differently. They think that when people see the real Louis, they might ease up on him. And maybe his sisters kind of edged him on too. Noticing another presence nearby, he sighed softly. "What made you decide to join this experience?" Maybe it won't be so bad as this could be his little getaway, just a break from everything. @wildewoodstarters

"well, with both of you looking out for me, where could I go wrong? even if trouble is my middle name," he laughed. he sat back in the chair, ensuring to turn slightly to be facing her. "so I just agreed to something without thinking it through. what brought you here?" he asked.

Madison gave Rudy a kind smile, hearing his quiet laugh and feeling his arms wrap around her. She pulled away to look at her friend. "You will be fine too. Just stay out of trouble, Pankow." She said to him. "Madelyn and I will make sure that you stay out of trouble." She assured him.

"that is a good point. gotta hope I won't need to hide away from people too many times, but it's good to know there is somewhere to go," he replied, shaking his head. "well that's what I'm hoping anyways. as long as the something new doesn't drive me too crazy." he looked back at the other man as he explained his own reasons for being here. "well, good for you. a lot of people just let everyone think what they want about them and not do a thing about it."

"it is. and the perfect hiding spot if you ever need some alone time. which we will all need at some point, i'm sure." louis chuckled as he was sure with so many people stuck in this house together, there were going to be moments where people would get annoyed and just don't want to be around one another. when you got different personalities, they're bound to clash. "sounds like a good enough reason. never a bad thing to try something new." shrugging, he wasn't 100% sure this was a good idea but he didn't want to let his management and his sisters down. "people around me told me this would be a good idea. to show people the real me, i guess. seems like people like to have a different image of me and they want me to show them i'm not who they think i am." louis might act like he doesn't care what people think about him but sometimes it does get in his head.

a smirk tugged at his lips as he listened to the other man. "i love an adventure, man," he agreed with a chuckle. he paused to think about the question before shrugging a bit. "i honestly have no idea what to expect. guess i kinda just agreed to it on a whim. what's the worst that could happen?" he replied before laughing again. "famous last word, right?"

"i don't really have any expectations, i don't think? just been through some shit recently so i thought i'd change it up and i'm heading down a path i never thought i would... again," he laughed. "i keep going down weird paths, but adventures, y'know?" he smiled, leaning back as he sat on the couch. "what about you? any expectations about being here?"

High stakes Jiara moment where to they have to pull up and show out for their friends.

Rudy:

he didn't hear her at first, but smiled softly as he turned to see it was Madison sitting next to him. "well, at least I'm not alone then," he said, letting out a quiet laugh. he welcomed the hug, letting his own arms wrap around her as well. "I know you will be. we both know I'm the one who's gonna wind up in trouble," he joked.

Maddie walked into the kitchen, seeing Rudy sitting there. "Ru?" She asked softly, not expecting to see him. She can see that he was lost in thought, before sitting down next to him. "If you're insane, I am insane too." She said with a slight laugh and wrapping her arms around her friend. "It's okay. We're going to be okay..." She assured him.
