now that was an idea she could work with. she was fairly athletic, so climbing a tree didn’t seem too tall an order, not even with a heavy pack of mystery equipment. she strapped the bag on her back and stared at the tree to strategize her climb. it wasn’t long before she reached her fellow cast member’s side. “what’s in this thing, anyway?” she asked as she passed over the bag.

honey’s eyes widened as they watched the other start to climb the tree; no one had ever willingly actually followed honey’s seemingly absurd suggestions. “ its just my tattoo shit. the gun, needles, sanitary shit, you know, the usual. figured i’d give myself some fresh ink to celebrate. ” honey reached out to the grab that pack that sabrina had carried up, “ thanks by the way.        ” they paused before continuing their sentence, being taken away for a moment by the scenery. “ although i’m thinking i may put a pause on that and think of some funner shit to do. ”

“ oh man, you know i’m all for a good challenge ! ” the wheels in honey’s mind immediately started to turn as they thought of all the ways they’d attempt to convince mikayla’s roommates to be on board with her idea. “ you sure that’s all it’s going to take ?! i have a feeling your ass would attempt to throw in some fine print or something. i need to know everything right on up front. ”

“ I WOULD if i were you. ” a soft chuckle pushed past her lips, then she laid back on her towel just enough to get comfortable but not so much that she couldn’t see the water anymore. she was well aware that the other was staring, but chose not to comment on it in case it was unintentional. she found that sometimes, she’d stare off into the distance at something too and not actually realize it until a few minutes after. “ i’ve seen my fair share of stuff like this, but given that all of this is free, it’s even better. ” she smiled, then nodded. “ sure, thanks. a strawberry daquiri would be heavenly right now. ”

honey skipped back towards marissa with their hands wrapped tightly around the glasses they were carrying; “ one for you       ” honey extended her arm offering the strawberry daquiri to the other before crouching down back in the original spot. “ i’ve been around things like this every now and then. ” honey spoke referring back to their conversation before they’d ran off, “ like of course been to some fancy parties with open bars and shit, but like feet up on a damn beach in bali. this some real next level shit. it felt surreal last year, but it really feels much more surreal now. cheers to beautiful women and beautiful things ! ” honey stated as she raised her glass.

“ you know, i’m going to let the fact that it seems as if you’re calling me a puppet slide. that’s strike one though. ” honey grinned slightly, having a hint of seriousness in her voice. honey didn’t really get too involved in the shenanigans that took part when it came to production pulling strings, but they definitely weren’t entirely out of fault for some problems that happened during season one. “ oh you should know i don’t mind crashing on the floor. we can totally make it a sleepover ! i’ll bring the snacks and i’m sure your roommates would love me. ”

THE femme raised an eyebrow in amusement, then let out a chuckle. “ that was smooth. i know several people who could take lessons from you. ” she swept her hair back behind her ears to try and keep it out of her face, then nodded in greeting at her roommate. “ i’m also eyeing that fully stocked bar. can we count that as a finer thing too ? because it’s fucking awesome. ”

“ should i start charging ? ” honey chuckled slightly as they made their way beside the other. honey couldn’t help but keep her eyes on the woman in front of her; just in awe of her beauty. sure they’d seen plenty of beautiful women in their lifetime, but there was just something a bit different about the other. maybe it was just the bali sun. honey was in her mind wondering if the brunette could catch her staring the way she was. ultimately her concentration broke as they responded to marissa, “ look ... that can definitely be counted as one of the finer things. i’ve been around quite a few blocks, but man ain’t none of ‘em been as nice as this. do you want a drink ? i’ll grab us something. ” honey quickly hopped to her feet parading her way over to the bar just in ear shot so the other could place an order if they wanted. 

GALIN: i can match your stack no problem

GALIN: define good time because the only thing im here for is the top stock bar but im already getting a headache so i think ill be sleeping there tonight lmao

HONEY: aight bet i can make that two stacks if u successfully stay without almost getting kicked the fuck off

HONEY: okay sounds boring

“ oh you know, i couldn’t get you off my mind ! so glad you’re back, what could i ever do without you ?! ” honey belted an obvious sarcastic laughter as they continued removing the piece from the wall. “ oh definitely not, but its a good start. you never know, maybe i’ll end up falling in love with someone from your house and just moving on in. you think the producers would allow that ? maybe we can be bunkies. i know how to play a wonderful version of mary had a little lamb on the kazoo. it could be your lullaby, baby. ”

‘‘anything to help,’‘ he replied with a smirk, taking a moment to consume the burst of energy they brought into the room, from the moment she rushed in. he knew from the spot he would never get bored, as long as this one was remaining close by. ‘‘is being a newbie a good thing? does it come with advantages? I’m asking for a friend,’‘ he winked at her, before vaguely pointing towards the hallway, asking her -silently- to lead the way.

‘’nice ink, by the way, didn’t think someone would come in for my crown,’‘

“ for a friend my ass. ” honey grinned as they continued to take in the scenery that the new comer brought. “ shit, depends on what you see as an advantage. ” they smirked at the other, leaving their mind to wonder on her riddles. “ oh, thanks ! ” honey’s face immediately lit up at the compliment; her art being her favorite thing. “ i don’t have to come for something i already own. ” she didn’t take any pause as she grabbed the portrait that she’d taken from house A off the sofa. “ did most of ‘em myself. i’m hoping i can ink up some more while i’m here, maybe even bless some people round here with some. everyone’s a bit of a bitch though. don’t seem to really be about the life. ”

left, right, and around, sabrina tossed glances everywhere but the right place, at least until she heard a voice from up above. her eyes widened when she heard someone call out to her, and she realized there was someone in a tree…(?) “um, what are you doing up there?” she asked, a hand over her head to shield her eyes from the sun’s rays. she leaned down uneasily and scooped up the backpack they pointed out to her, and hugged it close to her chest as she hesitated to follow their instruction. “are you sure you want me to throw this to you? it’s kind of heavy.” 

honey moved a few of the hanging leaves out of their way in order to be in view of the girl beneath her, “ saving the world. ” they gave a sigh, shrugging off the other’s slightly nosy question. “ well either you have to throw it or you’re gonna have to climb this tree yourself .... which option do you prefer ?! ‘cause i do think there’s room for two; just make sure you toss it hard enough. can’t have my shit breaking. ”

@baliextra​​​ // “what was that?!” sabrina’s neck jerked from side to side, her frantic gaze a mirror of the alarm in her voice. from house one’s kitchen, she swore she heard a loud noise and rushed outside to catch a glimpse of the action. 

“ MOTHERFUCK ! ” the word escaped honey’s mouth with a quickness as they dropped practically every single thing they were carrying. “ i should’ve fucking known. ” she’d been toting around her art equipment in hopes of doing a new tattoo on themselves by the water, but once she’d spotted the solid tree she wanted to climb it. honey had thrown her items into her backpack as they attempted to scale the tree and well once a branch cracked it was either allow the items to fall or herself. out the corner of her eye she spotted someone else, “ hey, umm, you ! could you just like throw that shit up here to me, please. ” they yelled down from somewhere between the leaves.

given her luxurious lifestyle outside of the show, the femme was used to accommodations like these. still, her curiosity had her wandering around both houses to familiarize herself with her new surroundings. the producers didn’t seem to spare any expense, much to marissa’s pleasure. her favourite place so far, however, had to be the designated beach area and it’s fully stocked bar. she’d dug out a bathing suit that morning, then quickly changed and headed there with her airpods and a book in tow. it was nice not having to share the space with the general public and she had no trouble finding a space to spread out her towel and sit down. footsteps approached before she could put her airpods in, and she smiled softly at the approaching person. “ beautiful, isn’t it ? ”

“ are we talking about you or the view ? ” honey questioned, raising an eyebrow as she eyed the girl in front of her. honey glanced at the other’s figure for a moment before taking a spot down next to the other and making eye contact. “ i really don’t think i could’ve gotten luckier with having such a cute roommate who seems to have an eye for the finer things. ”

GALIN: i'd bet money that i'll probably almost get kicked off again but... i'm deciding to instead be on my best behavior

GALIN: 😂 im lying like a mf

GALIN: so why are you even here

HONEY: how much u wanna bet ??? bc im willing to put up a stack.

HONEY: shit probably the same reason 92% of everyone is

‘’— let’s hope they got rid of the fucking bunk beds between the two seasons,’‘ zach said to himself, and the cameras, as he explored House B, trying to find the bedrooms in order to call dibs on (hopefully) the best spot. He fully expected to walk in on someone, but the house was oddly silent, and he couldn’t help to appreciate the few minutes of peace and quiet before things start to heat up in here. It was his first season, but boy did he know what he signed up for. 

‘‘MARCO?’‘ He semi-shouted, pushing room 1′s door to end up grinning to himself, immediately tossing the backpack he was carrying against one of the beds. His new home for the next weeks. 

“ POLO ! ” honey screamed in reaction as she walked through the doorway with the stolen wall art from house A. they tossed the piece on the couch making a mental note to come back for it later before they rushed up the stairs to see who had arrived. rounding the corner into room one where they’d heard the voice a grin quickly spread across her face, “ ouuuuu a newbie, ” she spoke as she examined the one in front of her head to toe, “ hi, i’m honey. you think you can help me hang something up ? ”

twenty-five minutes was all the time that had passed since honey had plopped her belongings down in her household. only twenty-five so why was it that she was already in the other home, snooping through other’s rooms. a curious soul she was and honey really was just ready to be mischievous. as she maneuvered from room to room, a familiar voice stopped them in their tracks, “ well well well ─ ” honey came zooming around the corner to become face to face with the figure. “ if it isn’t just who i thought it was. ” honey immediately took a leap towards the other, throwing an arm around their neck; invading other’s space was something she excelled at. “ ay, you want to help me take this art to my crib. this shit would look much better over in house two ! ” they spoke while attempting to remove a piece off the wall.
