The Circle

[cylchmuses]

CIRCLE CHAT IS NOW OPEN!

FELIX: Good morning! Last night was definitely harder than anticipated. It's tough to get rid of someone after just meeting them, but I'm very happy with the little group we've currently got. But OMG, was the real-life Nicky absolutely STUNNING or what?! 🤩

ELODIE: Morning everyone ☕ I slept great, thank you x Much needed after the nerve-wracking evening yesterday. I can imagine it wasn't easy but I'm happy to still be here 💖 Nicky seemed like a lovely gal! I wonder who she went to visit?

EVERLY: Stunning but a liar, Felix. Never a good combination from my own experience. Still, I can agree that you two did a good job with your choice. 💜 Well, it definitely wasn't me. I don't think she was a fan of mine.

ADAM: Nah, me neither dudes. I honestly thought I was on shaky ground for a moment there. So thanks for saving me guys, I owe you one.

CIRCLE CHAT IS NOW OPEN!

HOWIE: G'morning gang 🤘 Last night was wild but big thanks to Channel and Felix for keeping me around 🙏 Gotta say, certainly didn't expect to be waking up this morning to find out that Nicholas was Nicole all along 😂

CHANNEL: Good morning! It wasn't an easy choice but I think we made the right one in the end 🙃 How is everybody feeling today? Good night's sleep?

CIRCLE: FAREWELL MESSAGE

“Bonsoir! It’s me, Nicky. I just wanted to say; nobody is who they seem. Clearly I am proof of that. I really loved getting to know you guys for a minute. Keep an eye on your influencers guys. Much like in the real world they can be fake.”

she takes the toaster with a chuckle, nodding her head. “oh! well, it’s nice to meet you, nicole. i’m.. that girl-” turns slightly to the side, elbow pointing in the direction of her screen. “danika.” but the other probably figured that out already. “so, why did you come in as a guy?” the toaster is neatly placed on top of the kitchen counter, hands reaching for the waffle iron she then raises. “i would, by the way, totally give you this guy, but.. i don’t think they’d be pleased.” she laughs, ‘they’ being the production crew. getting two glasses and the sprite from the fridge, she half-jogs back into the living room, putting everything on the small table before jumping straight into pouring drinks like a good host. “oh my god,” glances at the girl, holding out the glass and letting out a small, excited shriek, almost as if she still can’t believe this is happening. “you have to tell me, like, everything.” 

“I don’t know where to begin,” Nicole lets out a heavy sigh, making herself comfy in the little apartment. She takes the glass, tentatively sipping at the drink to calm her nerves and organise her thought. “Well, to answer your question, this is going to sound so self-centered, but I’m really crap at flirting and I didn’t want some guy here to try it with me. It would end very badly.” She lets out a very uncomfortable laugh. “And the guy in the pictures is my best friend, Daniel. He’s very cute and I thought his face would take me further. I must be bias.”

“I do keep my promises,” Nicky smiles, wrapping one arm around the other girl with the other still balancing the toaster. Of course, Danika is who she says she is. Apart of her wished she was walking in on another catfish. Just for the drama. She pulls away. “I’m still Nicky,” she smiles, holding out the toaster. “But my family call me Nicole.”

[cylchmuses]

Cleary my tactic did not pay off. I gasped when I saw my name. I really hadn’t expected it. Fuck Felix man. I refuse to hold any grudges but that guy is now at the top of my list. I don’t have the time to ponder my predicament much longer before they want me to go meet one of them. Oh god, who do I chose? Who was I most curious about? I could show up Felix’s door and punch him in the face but I don’t think the violence will reflect well on me. I leave my apartment only really deciding who I was visiting a second before leaving. Just enough time to grab it.  I'm here to have a good time, not a long time; feels very fitting now, I think on the way down the corridor. I’m in front of door. I grab the door’s handle pushing on it gently. Creeping around the corner into the lavishly decorated apartment with a toaster under my arm. 

“Danika?”

FELIX: Sis, I’m with you there. It’s the name of the game, but damn, does it suck 😖  FELIX: But it looks like we’ve come to a decision. Would you like to deliver the news or shall I? 

CHANNEL: Brother, go for it! you’ve gotten me through this.

[cylchmuses]

circlemuses​:

FELIX: It’s what I thought, too, but I guess he’s been rubbing people the wrong way? Girl, this is tough, but it looks like the safest option right now. Are you okay with it? ❤️

CHANNEL: I don’t think I’m okay with voting anybody out but I know we have to chose somebody. I feel like Nicky might be the fairest option. I just want to rip the bandaid off! I’m good if you are?

[circlemuses]

cylchmuses​:

CHANNEL: I really haven’t formed much of an opinion of her yet. She’s nice enough (but so does everybody so far). She’s are biggest competition and that feels like a big con for me too. Watta about Nicky and Danika? They have similar vibes but did so differently in the vote?

FELIX: I agree, but my worry is that if we get rid of a threat so early in the game, the other players might see us as really strategic and therefore not trust us moving forward. Speaking of Nicky and Danika, I was a surprised by their spots in the ratings. I haven’t had a chat with Danika yet so I haven’t formed an opinion. She seems like a cool girl, but I’ve heard suspicions she might be a catfish?? As for Nicky… I had a chat with him earlier today where I felt like he was coming on a little too strong. I think he’s here to play the game HARD, which concerns me a little.. 

[cylchmuses]

CHANNEL: that’s really interesting! I’m little surprised because he gave me very ‘here for the fun of it’ vibes. at least if we vote Nicky out it won’t look tactical… he’s at the bottom of the board and it might just be the fairest choice while also taking out a competitor. What do you think?

[circlemuses]

cylchmuses​:

CHANNEL: I thought it was a little strange too since he’s engaged as well! But I guess some people just aren’t into it. But he doesn’t mention his fiancée at all in his bio? He seems nice enough though. I don’t think he’s a threat… that’s a good plan. One con and one pro each. I don’t think we have all night! Lol

FELIX: I noticed that too! Maybe he’s trying not to give everything away on the first day #TallDarkandMysterious… either way I agree that he seems like a nice guy. Should we put him as a ‘maybe’ for now?  FELIX: On another note, what are your thoughts on Elodie? I like her energy and think she comes across very sweet and genuine. She seems like a good person to keep around. The only con I can find for her is that she was rated high, so she could possibly be a threat..

[cylchmuses]

CHANNEL: I really haven’t formed much of an opinion of her yet. She’s nice enough (but so does everybody so far). She’s are biggest competition and that feels like a big con for me too. Watta about Nicky and Danika? They have similar vibes but did so differently in the vote?

[circlemuses]

cylchmuses​:

CHANNEL: I believe in us 🙌 is there anybody you suspect might not be who they’re saying they are? If that makes sense lol 😂

FELIX: The only person who’s made me wonder so far is Adam because of the icebreaker game yesterday… however, I also don’t wanna be blocking people solely based on how many nudes they’ve sent throughout their life 😂 What do you think, shall we have a rundown of everyone where we list our pros and cons? 🧐

[cylchmuses]

CHANNEL: Well, thank you kind sir. The blue suits you smashingly 🥰 I still my vomit from the nerves 🤢 Can’t quite believe it yet. How are you feeling?

FELIX: Why thank you, you’re too kind #MatchingForProm 👯 And same, this is absolutely crazy but I’m glad to be sitting here with you. It’s gonna be tough but I trust we’ll try to make the fairest decision 🙏
