Eloise Prideaux

|| 21 || || Don't mess with me ||

[marleyxprescott]

 Marley let out a chuckle, moving out of the room using the glow of the TV to see where she was going. “I come here all the time.” she smarted in a soft tone, the darkness seemed to cause everyone to whisper for some reason. As the lighting caused the hallways to be visible for the time the flash was happening. She stepped down the halls carefully, without holding out her arms like a fool in the dark, she felt the floor with her feet and followed it that way, ” More people like me?” she turned to face Eloise, her features silhouetted by the flashes of lighting in the windows about the house. “What exactly are people like me like?” she asked curiously as they made their way n the darkness to the basement. For being someone that grew up in the shadows mostly, she sure seemed to stand out among this group but she wasn’t sure if that was good or bad.

[eloise-prideaux]

"Yes, but now do you come here all the time?" the joke was crass and she knew it wasn't her finest work, but it was staring her in the face and she had to say it, besides, wasn't that what the show wanted? Eloise grinned as they walked along, going down the stairs and feeling their way around in a nearly-dark rooms "More fun than other people." Eloise answered seamlessly "I don't meet many other people who are up for horror-movie cliche's when it's probably not a good idea to be doing so. What are you hoping to find here anyway? Not in the basement - the end goal for that is alcohol, but on the show i mean?" she asked as they moved along

This girl was playing some serious games with him, he chuckled and shook his head low. “That’s the glory of music Dollface, The key is left to be interpreted by the player, but im sure such a go-getting roadie like yourself already knew that right?” Scott had her numbered now, She kept this tough street cat act up. A lot like the girls he hung out with back home. They usually went through some harrowing experience that left them with a darker perception on the world. He decided he was going to bait her a bit more, to see exactly how much she would tell him about herself before she caught onto his game. “Oh and i lose my clothes because i like to feel free, but uh; im guessing you dont know what that feels like in those pants hmm?” he pointed to her pants, she flicked out her knife and he shook his head again “I saw that when you walked in.” he chuckled a bit as he realized he just admitted to looking at her rear. He was trying different tactics to get her to break face. He had been playing this game for a long time, she was lucky she wasn’t weakened by the passive charmer he was, that made the game a bit more interesting for him. 

"So if Girly doesn’t work, Dollface can stay right? I think it suits you quite well." he smarted off with a cocky movement of his head "And if that’s your way of asking a guy to serenade you some more, its a bit rusty and over used." he plucked at his guitar strings some more and sang her another song, waiting again at the end for another of her remarks.

[eloise-prideaux]

"You staring at my butt now?" she was never one to miss a comment, most people let themselves down by a small slip of the tongue, but it was always their bodies that betrayed them first "fine then, guess this wasn't a surprise" she took out the switchblade and placed it on the table, then another one from her hip. Bending over she pulled two more from the sides of her boots and placed them with the first, all while watching his reaction. She wasn't going to get rid of all her knives, but she just wanted to see what he would do.

"Call me whatever you like, i just might not respond." she grinned, playing back "And serenade - that might be a bit too much for you to handle, besides, the idea is to usually play a song that the person likes, and i doubt your range is able to handle Brian Johnson's voice, and if you're going to be singing for me then you're going to need to shake me all night long" she winked, teasing him with an AC/DC song. "I'm very comfortable though, but there's always room for improvement"

Sadie wasn’t scared of storms, she had treated herself to a long hot bath and was now out of it ready to paint her nails and go to bed. Half way through her little beauty routine, the dorm room light flickered and then went straight out but that didn’t send her into a worry straight away. She figured it was just a busted bulb, but she needed some help to fix that. Carefully, Sadie moved off her bed and felt her way to the dorm room door, but as soon as it was opened she was met with more darkness and the sound of screams coming from the tv in the living room. “What’s going on?” she called out, the rumbling of thunder and lightning caught her off guard and she jolted. Following the light from the tv, Sadie ended up seeing the ghastly images of the teens on the screen. Those woods looked a little familiar. Yet another crash of thunder echoed around the cottage, but it also sounded an awful lot like footsteps. "I…oh god."

[eloise-prideaux]

"Careful now" Eloise said from behind the girl. It wasn't hard to go about silently in a house where everyone was screaming. She was sure her sudden materialization had given the girl a jump, but with everyone loosing their minds, Eloise wasn't about to loose her cool over a little rain. "The power's out" she informed her "Jensen fucked up again and so far the only thing that's working are the deadlocks on the doors and the cameras- go figure." she sighed, looking around in the dark "that and the TV apparently". The static coming through the horror-movie was only adding to the disjointed noise going about that house, and with the rising voices it was a wonder no one else came knocking from outside.

"Where were you?" she eyed the girl

[supershaffrey]

Scott didn’t mind her laughter, in fact he welcomed it. As a guy who really only played music as his one way of venting stress and left over emotions he never thought he was anything special. He got the over whelming feeling that this girl didnt take him seriously though, He shrugged “I mainly play alone, i had some friends that would swing by just to play together but i was never much for the whole band thing, music is a bit more personal for me.” he raised a brow to her when she asked about a Uke, “What about my guitar or vocals makes you think of a uke hun?” He decided he would jest at the younger gal the same way she was with him “Not everyone plays that little tweeny stuff you like so much dear.” he snickered a bit “I mean T-Swift is obviously a source of inspiration for that outfit right?” he winked at her. If there was one thing Scott was good at, it was an old fashioned game of cat and mouse… though he was usually the dog that ended the cat and mouse’s game.

He caught a glimpse of her as she discarded her jacket “Woah now there girly, thought we agreed to keep the clothes on?” She had welcomed the full force of his sinister remarks now. He waited for her response with his signature smile as he plucked at some strings, “I’ve got a whole lot more. Just not alot of people who care to listen to it.”

[eloise-prideaux]

the sudden change in him was a surprise, but a welcome one at that. This boy could play the game. Now let's see if he can keep up. "Oh nothing in particular, just the general look you've got going. It''s very clean-boy" she grinned "that and the key that song's in usually works on a Ukulele, but i'm sure you knew that already." at his remark on her clothes she laughed "Ever live out of your car? Jeans and a shirt are easier to keep clean that something a little more decorative. But then again you seem to like going without clothes at all, so you're one to talk" 

"Girly is also the last thing anyone has ever called me" she pulled out the switchblade from her back-pocket and flashed it open with a grin "Tada" she put it away again and watched his reaction. "We're in for the night and it's not letting up outside.I'm going to be here a while and i'm going to get comfortable. You can keep playing if you want." she raised her eyebrow, challenging him "That's not a problem for you is it?"

[supershaffrey]

Scott shook his head “Booze is all fun and games until a good freind is puking up their brains.” Scott nodded sure that his rhyme got his viewpoint across. He smiled a bit, this girl was a riot. She took the dark mood of the room and lit it up with her personality. Scott fed off that kind of stuff, and before he knew it his tongue was moving faster than his brain again and he blurted out, “So a song for you then? And I promise, i’ll try my best to keep my pants on.” He plucked at the strings of his guitar and adjusted it’s tuning “It’s a sappy love song but rain gets me like that, so deal with it.” He cleared his throat and made himself comfortable on the bed he hummed a bit as he got the rhythm going in his head. “I’m in trouble, I’m an addict, I’m addicted to this girl. She’s got my heart tied in a knot And my stomach in a whirl.

But even worse I can’t stop calling her, She’s all I want and more, I mean damn, What’s not to adore? I’ve been playing too much guitar, I’ve been listening to jazz, I called so many times I swear she’s going mad And that cellular will be the death of us. I swear, I swear. And oh, O-oh, o-oh, o-ooh, Oh. I’m running my mouth Just like I got her, But I surely don’t. Because she’s so, O-oh, o-oh, o-ooh, Rock ‘n roll, And out of my league. Is she out of my league? Let’s hope not.”

Scott ended his song “Yeaaaaah, that was a bit embarrassing.” He looked to her expecting her to be absolutely dying with laughter.

[eloise-prideaux]

She choked back the laughter, this boy -  being honest that's what he struck her as "Yep" a small laugh caught in her throat "you fit the quota for tortured-musicians" While she was joking, the boy did actually have talent. Maybe that was his angle for the show. Sit around on screen - play enough and maybe he'd get a deal signed. Clever really, if you think about it. "Not bad. Let me guess though, you already have a band and it's going to be big one day?" she pushed away from the table and moved around to the window, the rain still coming down in sheets and the sky still flickering back and forth from pitch black to brightness.

"So what's your style hu? Mainly indie or something with a ukulele? " she asked with a side smile, turning from the window to look at him. She figured they were going to be sitting around for a while until the lights went back on or someone screamed bloody-murder. Might as well get comfortable. Eloise shed her jacket and tossed it across the room to the back of a chair. Now standing there in her jeans, boots and just a shirt and looked at him again. "Got anything else?"

[lcdyelena]

Eloise’s calm and annoyed presence made Rebecca feel embarrassed for being so scared of the storm and the blood and gore on the television. Taking the lighter, Rebecca lit the candle and held it between her hands, feeling the warmth, letting the scent begin to soothe her. “I’m okay, yeah.” She lied, flashing the girl a sweet smile. “I mean, if this isn’t creative… I’d be okay with it staying a little uncreative… thunderstorms are pretty creepy, though. I don’t think MTV can control the weather, you know?” With a long sigh, she glanced around the room as her eyes adjusted to the darkness. “Where do we go in this kind of situation?”

[eloise-prideaux]

It was easy to tell when Becca was lying, she wasn't particularly good at it, at least not by Eloise's standards. "Uh hu" she said to the girl's reply. She watched the girl chatter on and saw exactly how not-okay she was. Eloise seemed to lack the proper levels of empathy in 99% of situations and rarely did she care enough about people to do anything other than exactly what she wanted, but Becca reminded her of someone else who was just as scared of thunderstorms "Sure, you're smarter than the rest of them. The first way to die in a horror movie is to try and be adventurous." she offered the joke, trying to lighten the girl's tension a little. The little she'd known of Becca, Eloise liked her well enough "I tend to stick to somewhere that i can get a drink, so it's the lounge or the kitchen really." In that moment an idea popped into her head "Power's out, so that means the fridge is going to be failing at it's job. Want to binge on ice-cream while we wait for Jensen to get his shit together?"

[supershaffrey]

Scott was busting up laughing inside when it crept out in a coughing fit “Ohhhh shit, im sorry i uh… So guys seem to lose their pants around you often then?” he gave her a quirky and deviously curious look. 

 She continued her rant about the past and Scott nodded, he respected what she was saying purely for the fact that he didnt know what she had been through before. Several other members had mentioned something about a campfire that she was apparently here for that seemed to have everyone traumatized about the weirdest of things. “Im not really sure booze being here is a good thing, lord knows what’s going on in the unlit rooms of this cabin when the alcohol is flowing and the mood is totally set by candle light and rain.” he snickered to himself. He purposely put extra distance between the two of them so in case Jensen really was prying for drama ratings that he couldnt assume anything just because they were in a room together. “So are you uh… into guitar at all?” he unslung his guitar from his should and took his pick out from his coat pocket. “Might as well get our minds off the storm right?”

[eloise-prideaux]

She smiled a little to herself when she heard him laughing. She liked it when people appreciated her humor, most of which was just snide comments and insults. "Oh yea" she grinned at him "More often than you think, no matter how often you think it might happen" He could probably just rewatch some of the old episodes from this show to get an idea of what went on. Eloise was not one to be shy about anything, and to her it was the same as a man's pride for her. That was half the reason she originally came to the show, just for a bit of fun. "What about you? Do guys keep loosing their pants around you?" she poked fun at him by mirroring his intonation

scott"Booze is always a good thing. It's all about how you handle it, if you can't handle it then you shouldn't drink - but then again it's always more fun if you do" she laughed. She planted herself comfortably against a desk, leaning on the side with her legs crossed. She was sure Jensen was getting all sorts of footage from this evening - but that was the plan right? Get the dirt going, the gossip stirring and the rates up. "Guitar works fine for me. I was with a few tortured-musicians in the past" she half-smiled "to name a few"

[marleyxprescott]

 Marley had felt that everyone else in the house was all talk but once shit hit the fan they all seemed quiet and okay with staying into their rooms, Marley as clearly getting cabin fever, being pent up in here was getting to her. “I like the way you think.” she smirked seeing Eloise grab the knives, “Already thinking ahead, let’s go do this. Granted i don’t think there anything or anyone down there but the power switches maybe. And a lot of alcohol.” she smirked before turning to head down the hall, the darkness was thick but the glow the TVs casted provided dim lighting for the members of the house to at least see somewhat as they where walking around. Marley was not afraid at all, in fact she almost seemed to mock the fear of others by trying to get others to go down into what could be the most freakiest and dangerous part of the house. But to her this was all fabricated by the producers to try and shake things up a bit, and if it was a show they wanted, Marley was the person going to give it to them.

[eloise-prideaux]

"Even better if we can get a drink!" she grinned at her, letting the show get what it wanted from her - a smile and a bit of adventure for better ratings "Let's get going before these chickens crap their pants. i don't want to have to be here for that" she laughed, not really meaning what she said about the others, she was just ready to get going. Her impulse was getting the better of her again and she started to feel the usual excitement she chased when she was about to do something potentially dangerous or stupid "So, come here often?" she joked as the pair started walking to the basement. The TV's static could be heard every now and again as the walked away, accompanied with the rolls of thunder it set the scene very well for your average B-rate horror movie "Figures that you'd be the first to want to go spelunking. We need more people like you here." she shamelessly complimented her

[supershaffrey]

 Scott smiled at the familiar voice that resounded through the door, he instantly relaxed his muscles. Truth be told, Scott wasnt afraid he just was the type of guy that was prepared for whatever, especially after the rumor he heard from the ‘senior’ cast members. He looked at Eloise as she hit the T.V and it seemed as he was caught in the awkward light from it that he realized, He wasnt clothed very well. His red briefs seemed to stick out like a sore thumb. he stumbled over to where he thought he left his jeans and coat, he found his jeans but his coat seemed to be missing, whatever he thought at least im not totally exposed now. He looked back at Eloise “Yeah sorry about the uh fuss, had to find my pants. I’d hate to be the guy that gets knocked off the show with his pants off.” He chuckled trying to lighten the mood. 

"So you’ve been on the show for a while now right? What do we normally do when Jensen fucks up the cabin?"

[eloise-prideaux]

The lack of clothes on the guy didn't phase her at all, she hadn't really noticed it until he brought it up "You wouldn't be the first, and i doubt you'd be the last" she said still looking around the room. The lightning outside was cracking and briefly lighting the cabin every few moments. The wind was thrashing and the rain beating against the windows. This storm didn't look like it was going anywhere soon "This type of shit was bound to happen. The show had been too peaceful so far" she glared at the window "The only upside so far is that there's booze and we're all locked INdoors this time" she said, mainly to herself. Truth be told, this time was better than before, now it only needed to stay this way through the night and no one here would end up dead or worse

"Jensen has an amazing ability to screw up and just screw in general." she said to him, more factually than anything "Usually it's find shelter and wait it out, preferably with a drink and a knife" she laughed cynically, but it was a laugh none the less "It happens more often than it should, and I wasn't here for a short bit so god knows what happened then"

[marleyxprescott]

"So are we just going to sit around. Shit is finally getting freaky, You know it’s all a crock of shit right?…Clearly these clips are from some poorly done horror film. They want us to start doing shit because nothing has been going on since we all got here, this is just to keep the show on. And if you guys wanna stay on this show I suggest we start getting interesting. So, I’m going to the basement, Clearly there is power down there. There must be some sort of controls down there or something to get the power back on. Don’t tell me your going to make me go a lone. I thought you guys didn’t believe?”

[eloise-prideaux]

Eloise watched the girl with an expressionless face. The blonde was spunky and full of fire, not dissimilar to her, but Eloise had already had a taste of this camp before. When everyone was quiet she stood up "Alright, let's go." she grinned "But let's give them a real show." she sauntered up to the drawers and took out two large knives "Might as well arm ourselves while playing into the stereotypes right?" she handed one to Marley "After all, it's only a show" she smiled, but it didn't go all the way to her eyes. She tried to not look in the direction of the dining room table or remember what the bonfire had been like. This time they were all locked indoors. That was already better than before.

[supershaffrey]

Scott was sleeping when the light’s went out, he had left the T.V on in his sleep, something about the sound of static helped relax him. It wasn’t until he turned and saw the T.V and the gore of the film portrayed on it that he was slightly unsettled. He fumbled over to the T.V and attempted to turn it off, oddly it wouldnt “Freaking dinosaur Teevo, Man that’s some freaky stuff, the light from the television was just enough to let him see something move past the door to his room, Scott focused his breath, shaking any trace of fear from his voice “Alright what the fuck MTV?” He turned around the room flipping off anywhere he thought there might be a camera set up. Something outside the door again… “Hello?” Scott called out, he figured someone came by seeing the light from the scented candle he had going when he fell asleep… he grabbed it by it’s base ignoring the burning sensation the cast silver sent through his hand. “Hey come on in.” he said as he could have sworn he saw eyes peer through the crack in the opened door. “Spooky stunt they’re pulling on us huh? Turning the lights out and putting this weird flick on… You alright?” Scott called out to what he thought were a set of eyes in the darkness outside his room.

[eloise-prideaux]

Eloise had been moving about the cabins, just seeing where everyone was and what their numbers were. At least this time, everyone was locked in doors - safe to a degree. But after what had happened, she really didn't trust this show. "It's just me, no need for the fuss" she said coolly, stepping closer to him "Turns out everyone is borderline loosing their shit". Eloise looked over to the TV and the horror movie it was playing, just like the one downstairs in the main room. "Do you have a flashlight or something stronger than the sent of Pine Candles?" she asked as she went to the TV, hitting it with her fist, hoping it would change. No luck.

"Brilliant" she sighed, turning back to him

[lcdyelena]

Rebecca’s eyes widened as the film she was watching suddenly shifted to some creepy shock-horror movie, made even creepier by the lack of sound. The lights around her flickered before turning off completely, as she shifted in her seat to peek outside the window. The rain was bouncing off the cottage like bullets while the thunder roared like it threatened to shake the entire house. “Guys!” She called out, using her hands to move up from the chair and navigate to find a candle. “Does anyone have a lighter?” She called out to them. “And will someone hold my hand until this storm passes?”

[eloise-prideaux]

Everyone's first reactions seemed to be to call out in the dark. If this was a horror movie, everyone would be dead in the first 10 minutes. Eloise moved to the girl with very little sound "I'm right here, no need to shout" she gave the girl her lighter and looked over to the TV "Brilliant" she rolled her eyes, hoping that the cameras could see her disapproval "Just when i thought this camp had sorted this shit out, what does it go and do?" she gestured around her "Power outage?! Really? You'd think they'd be a little more creative" she turned to the blonde "Are you okay?"

[austin--brennan]

Austin screamed loudly. He hated thunderstorms. “NO!” He didn’t know what to do. This wasn’t fair. And now the lights were out? Darkness scared him, far more than he intended. As he continued to scream, he hoped he would be able to find someone. Crawling on the ground, he felt around for whoever was there. “Is anyone there? I hate the dark! Help me!”

[eloise-prideaux]

It wasn't hard to follow the voice in the dark. He wasn't trying to be quiet "Alright calm down." Eloise said as she got to him. It was pitch black and she couldn't see anything but she could tell where he was by all the shuffling he made. Slowly she lowered herself when she realized he wasn't standing "It's just a power outage. Jensen is an idiot and didn't think about getting generators for the main cabin" she sighed "Are you hurt?"

[sebastianwinterstark]

"That’s convenient, huh? Lights going off? Either the powers’ out, or MTV needed to spice things up." Ethan grunted as he got up for his seat. "I guess it’s time to go searching around the cabin to make everyone is okay, right?"

[eloise-prideaux]

"Probably both. So far this must be the most boring show in the world. There's been no macking and no drama. The most action around here seems to be walking to the lake and me opening the drink's cupboard" she said snidely, trying to get her eyes to adjust to the suddenly dark room "Sure, if you want to be noble and good. But last time that happened there was a bloody girl on that table" she nodded to the main dining-room table where she remembers all too vividly about the last weird thing that happened here. This camp was madness, and moments like this made her wonder why she returned "We might as well go find people. Here, take this, we don't have any flashlights" she passed him a candle 

[supershaffrey]

Scott was up earlier than normal, something was off though… he didnt reek of cologne that he so generously would apply to hide the smell of pot that lingered on his clothes, he was sober; alone on the couch he sat there singing along and playing his guitar. “Pity the man who feel him a fool, for he be the wise one… And the man who dont think he a fool, he control his destiny but he’s too cool for himself, for himself, yeah for himself.” he continued his song until he noticed someone watching him, he stopped, blew them a kiss and asked “How long have you been standing there? Hope i didn’t wake you up.”

[eloise-prideaux]

"You need to be asleep to be woken up" Eloise had spent the entire night on the porch drinking alone. It wasn't a pity fest, it was just something she did when she couldn't sleep. The sound of music brought her back into the house and low and behold there was this guy and a guitar "So you consider yourself the fool or the wise-man?" she went to the cupboard and got another bottle and a fresh glass "Want one?"

[sydney--reed]

Sydney snorted, putting her hand over her mouth to stop herself from laughing too hard.  ”You’re kidding, right? With that laugh, I can’t see you doing anything of that sort.” Whoever this girl was, she was amusing Sydney. The girls at bridge. With everything she said, the laugh coming from her mouth go louder. This girl was a riot. “You’re quite a jokester, aren’t you?” At the mention of a drink, Sydney signed. She hadn’t really drank very much, mostly because she knew she couldn’t, but it had never really appealed to her. “I can’t actually drink. I’m not legal.”

[eloise-prideaux]

The laughter that was coming from the girls could have shook the house had it continued. She seemed to be getting on with her, and who knows, maube this girl would be able to handle having a friend like Eloise "I won't tell if you don't. 'Legal' is a flexible term as far as i am concerned. I've been drinking since i was 14 - i was a regular at clubs and bars by the time i was 15 and by 16 i was out drinking most of my College friends." she wasn't really boasting,just proving a point of how easy it was to bend the rules. But then again, she'd never been one to not boast if the right moment came

[marleyxprescott]

 ”Never have I ever been naked in public.”

[eloise-prideaux]

She grinned at the blonde "Nope, drink up. I got pretty close, but never full nude - at least not yet" she laughed  then looked over to Marley, trying to think of a question before it came to her. "Never have i ever had sex with a girl" she smiled, knowing that either the girl would take a drink or she would, either way there wasn't a downside to this game
