How brightly does the sun shine?

[totaldramavideogame]

Jinta sat in the floor of the virtual hotel’s lobby, meditating with his eyes closed. With Gabe out of the competition, he needed someone new on his side. Myles didn’t agree with his way of doing things, he barely knew Bryce or Oliver, and he wasn’t sure if his deal with Clyde was still on or not….

[ask-julia-sanchez]

Julia walked sadly into the lobby, looking over at the chairs where she and Gabe had kissed together just a few days ago. The memory was a little too painful to revisit at the current moment, and she quickly directed her attention elsewhere. Upon looking around, she noticed Jinta sitting alone on the floor. She hadn’t talked to him in a while, so Julia decided to head over and see how he was doing. She walked over and plopped down on the ground next to him. Mustering up her usual cheerfulness, she turned to face him with a smile. “Hey there Jinta! How’re you doing?”

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta recognized the other person as Julia. She seemed upset, but her look changed to cheerfulness quickly. Strange, he wondered. He closed his eyes again when she plopped down next to him.

"Fine; a little disappointed that Gabe got eliminated," which wasn't a complete lie, "And you, Julia-tan? It's been a while since we last spoke."

Jinta is 95 bucks.

Jinta has had sex, smoked, got drunk, went skinny dipping, kissed someone of both sexes, fell asleep in class, been in a fist fight, given oral, got oral, done drugs, done something with someone older, went out with someone over 18, cried himself to sleep, said he loved someone but didn't mean it, got caught doing something he shouldn't have been doing, got arrested, went streaking, made out with someone, played spin the bottle, and done something he's regretted.

(Takes place after the challenge)

Excitement was flooding Bryce’s body after Team GameBoy’s victory in the challenge that day, but so was exhaustion. He needed a quick rest before everything picked backup again. There would be an elimination that night, but Bryce didn’t…

[roxyourroleplay]

Bryce turned to Jinta when he saw him sit next to him.

"Hmm? Oh I’m just trying to write down my thoughts, bro. Otherwise I might forget them. You know.. game strategy, possible tricks to use in challenges. Goals.. Stuff like that." Bryce explained while turning slightly to shield his writings.

"So, what’s up man? How are you?" he asked trying to change the subject.

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta gave a scoff, “A good idea. Planning beforehand will keep us ahead in the challenges and will give us the absolute upper hand when need be. Carry on.”

He then arched an eyebrow at Bryce, “I am not one for small-talk, Bryce-bozu. But if you must ask, I am perfect as always.” This wasn’t completely true. He had just recently recovered from his attack from Gabe a few days beforehand and was still incredibly shell-shocked about fighting in the arena.

"And you?"

[roxyourroleplay]

Bryce nodded remembering very well that Jinta didn’t enjoy small talk.. He was just wondering why did he come and try to make a conversation with him if he didn’t like it? Oh well. It is best to get to know all his fellow competitors.

"Oh right right. I forgot." he said nodding again.

"I’m actually great as well. We’re off to an awesome start nah?" he asked.

[totaldramajinta]

"Please remember better next time," Jinta replied. Normally, he would be trying to exit any conversation with others, but this time, he needed some R&R; and that included talking to someone who he was neutral with at best.

"That’s only natural," he nodded, "Our team has been blessed by the heavens. I am sure we will overcome any adversity."

[roxyourroleplay]

Bryce leaned back in his chair and continue to write. 

"Oh I’m sure of that too, dude." he said confidently.

He decided that if Jinta was going to continue speaking to him, he would, and if not, that’s cool too. 

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. He was silent for a few minutes, making it seem as if he was napping or something. Out of the blue he spoke again.

"I've seen bits and pieces of the rest of my teammates," his words were blunt, "But you're still a mystery. Is this purposeful?"

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta blew some air from his nostrils, “I can’t speak for anyone else, but not picking fights would be a good start to not being treated like dirt.”

"You accepted my apology for the most part, so it’s only fair to accept yours," he replied, before asking, "Are we done here for now, Myles?" His lack of an honorific was strange. Myles was above -bozu on his list, but still leagues below -kun or -san. It was perplexing to the Sun.

[totaldramamyles]

Myles nodded. “Yeah we’re done, it won’t happen again.” He bowed respectfully, knowing Jinta would appreciate it. He looked right into Jinta’s eyes and smiled. “I hope you have a good night and I am sorry again.” 

He turned to leave and waved at Jinta as he walked. When he got to the teleport station he took one last look at Jinta. Jinta was going to make things this season a little more spicy than they were. And he was all down for that.

(end?)

[totaldramajinta]

"Have a good night," was Jinta's response as Myles turned to leave to the teleport station.

The last two things that was on Jinta's mind before he made a trip to exit from the arena himself was: I feel so liberated to be able to yell again.

and His lips were soft, too. That's something to remember.

"That's only natural," he nodded, "Our team has been blessed by the heavens. I am sure we will overcome any adversity."

[totaldramajinta]

At this point, Jinta was pretty much too exhausted mentally or physically to keep up the argument. He stood back up, declining Myles’s hand. Not from haughtiness, but from his own internal rules. Taking someone’s hand would be disgraceful.

"Then if you like them so much, you’d get used to the biting," he spoke, his emotions unreadable, even to himself that moment, "I don’t bite nearly that hard, but I do enjoy to bite people’s lips."

[totaldramamyles]

Myles was put off by the comment, not exactly sure what to make out of it. Jinta was obviously sexual by nature but seeing him angry was another story. He looked at Jinta and frowned.

"I am really sorry for picking fights, I just can’t be treated like dirt, I work too hard to be who I am and I can’t stand to be treated like I’m where I started." He looked at Jinta, apologetically. "I’m really sorry though, for saying all those things, I didn’t mean them."

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta blew some air from his nostrils, "I can't speak for anyone else, but not picking fights would be a good start to not being treated like dirt."

"You accepted my apology for the most part, so it's only fair to accept yours," he replied, before asking, "Are we done here for now, Myles?" His lack of an honorific was strange. Myles was above -bozu on his list, but still leagues below -kun or -san. It was perplexing to the Sun.

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta breathed in and out before sitting down on the ground. He hit someone. That was something that went against everything he lived for. He didn’t do anything but stare at the ground. He was listening to what Myles was saying, but didn’t even look over at him.

"I shouldn’t have hit you," he finally spoke, "…I’m sorry."

[totaldramamyles]

Myles was still licking his lip which appeared to still be bleeding. “I mean it’s whatever you can act like that all you want, but keep it sexy please, don’t be obnoxious and I won’t have to reciprocate.” Myles was playing of course, he didn’t want Jinta to hate him this early and so he extended a hand.

"You have really soft lips though, I like them." Myles figured the easiest way to end an argument was to find some sort of compliment for him. Jinta obvious knew he had soft lips, he had used them them he extended them bite his own. It was going to be a long process to heal and he now had even more bruises to add to his collection.

[totaldramajinta]

At this point, Jinta was pretty much too exhausted mentally or physically to keep up the argument. He stood back up, declining Myles's hand. Not from haughtiness, but from his own internal rules. Taking someone's hand would be disgraceful.

"Then if you like them so much, you'd get used to the biting," he spoke, his emotions unreadable, even to himself that moment, "I don't bite nearly that hard, but I do enjoy to bite people's lips."

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta’s infuriation was growing by the moment. He didn’t say or do anything other than bite down hard on Myles’s lips, pull away and deck the other man in the face. He had broken the last straw on bringing up his parents.

“Don’t you ever touch me again, you fucking piece of shit,” he hissed, “And don’t ever speak ill-will about my parents ever again. I’ve broken my vows of peace enough now. I will make your life a living hell if you ever say that again.”

[totaldramamyles]

Myles’ anger had subsided long enough to know he had crossed the line even against someone who had deserved every bit of it. He was on the ground, his lip bleeding. Myles looked down on him, seeing just how obnoxiously insulted he was. 

"Look man, I’m sorry I didn’t mean- I mean it’s just that-" Myles gave up mid sentence and looked over at Jinta. "I guess I’m sorry for being so mean but when people treat me like shit I just see red and I’m sorry for kissing you. Truth be told I’m a kink and like it rough and it was just a huge turn on." Myles bit down on his lip, sucking the blood down. "And for someone anti-violence, you’re really violent." Myles laughed.

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta breathed in and out before sitting down on the ground. He hit someone. That was something that went against everything he lived for. He didn't do anything but stare at the ground. He was listening to what Myles was saying, but didn't even look over at him.

"I shouldn't have hit you," he finally spoke, "...I'm sorry."

[totaldramavideogame]

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta didn’t say anything to begin with, before he snapped off of the floor and grabbed ahold of Myles’s finger,  twisting it as hard to the right as he could, now directly in Myles’s face. His emotionless facade finally broken completely.

“Not willing to work for it," Jinta seethed, "What a load of bullshit! I work three jobs, two cooking jobs and one job at a salon to keep afloat! And who do I do it for?! Not an absolute fool like you! Not for myself! For my family! I don’t need someone to love me as long as I have them! Do not ever say I don’t work for what I want in life!”

He finally shoved back, his eyes flashing angrily at Myles. He touched his cheek where he was slapped, now completely infuriated.

[totaldramamyles]

Myles pulled his finger out of Jinta’s grasp and rolled his eyes. “Do you work so you can flounce around the mall buying rich designer outfits so you can make people feel like they’re lesser than you. News flash but having jobs doesn’t make you any less of an obnoxious self-absorbed asshole. How do you even work in customer service like a salon?” 

"I don’t care what you work for, your parents obviously never taught you how to be a nice little boy and to treat everyone with respect, you’re seriously lacking in that department." Myles was getting to angry and pushing his face so close to Jinta that he was practically breathing his breath.

"You’re the most infuriating and-" his voice trailed off as he realized that for some reason Jinta was doing something to him. His entire emotional battle had ceased and he was actually being turned on by this fighting. What the hell is wrong with me? Myles said. But before he knew what the hell he was doing he leaned forward and kissed Jinta right on the lips. 

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta's infuriation was growing by the moment. He didn't say or do anything other than bite down hard on Myles's lips, pull away and deck the other man in the face. He had broken the last straw on bringing up his parents.

"Don't you ever touch me again, you fucking piece of shit," he hissed, "And don't ever speak ill-will about my parents ever again. I've broken my vows of peace enough now. I will make your life a living hell if you ever say that again."

[totaldramavideogame]

[totaldramajinta]

"I have no reason to apologize to you," Jinta closed his eyes to keep them from rolling, "If anything, you should apologize to me for your insubordination, especially telling someone above you to get on the floor and apologize.”

He shook his head, “I do not care in the slightest if I’m the type you can’t stand to be around. The feelings are mutual. I cannot stand being around loud-mouthed, threatening charlatans who do not even deserve being near a place I spit, not less give me an order.”

[totaldramamyles]

Myles went in for it. He had heart enough out of this person. He brought his hand back and slapped Jinta right across the face, definitely trying to leave a mark. He leaned back and pushed Jinta onto the ground. “You’re the most infuriating piece of garbage I’ve ever come across.”

He leaned down and looked down on Jinta to assert his point. “You’re the lowest of low, you have no place acting like you’re better than anyone. You’re the type of peasant who crawls up thinking the world of himself, but in the end you end up homeless on the streets, no one to love them, and you’ll still have the illusion that you deserve better. But in the end you’re not willing to work for it, you’re not going to win this competition,” he wagged his finger at him shamefully, “you’re not even going to amount to anything but being a poor pitiful human being who disgusts everyone!” Myles breathed heavily.

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta didn't say anything to begin with, before he snapped off of the floor and grabbed ahold of Myles's finger,  twisting it as hard to the right as he could, now directly in Myles's face. His emotionless facade finally broken completely.

"Not willing to work for it," Jinta seethed, "What a load of bullshit! I work three jobs, two cooking jobs and one job at a salon to keep afloat! And who do I do it for?!

He finally shoved back, his eyes flashing angrily at Myles. He touched his cheek where he was slapped, now completely infuriated.

[totaldramavideogame]

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta stared at Myles, as an amused, almost sadistic smirk crossed his lips. He stepped back a step to tap his lip, almost mockingly. He then replied, simply,

"No, I don’t think I will."

[totaldramamyles]

Myles was boiling red with anger. He stared at Jinta, wondering what the hell this guy was thinking, who had raised him to be such an obnoxious, selfish person that thought he was better than everyone. “You’re not better than me, you get on this floor and apologize for insulting me, after I was helping you.”

Myles went off on that tangent. “You’re the type of person I just can’t stand to be around. You make my blood boil.” He uncrossed his arms stepping back into Jinta’s face. “Apologize, right now, I won’t ask you again.”

[totaldramajinta]

"I have no reason to apologize to you," Jinta closed his eyes to keep them from rolling, "If anything, you should apologize to me for your insubordination, especially telling someone above you to get on the floor and apologize."

He shook his head, "I do not care in the slightest if I'm the type you can't stand to be around. The feelings are mutual. I cannot stand being around loud-mouthed, threatening charlatans who do not even deserve being near a place I spit, not less give me an order."

[totaldramavideogame]

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta stuffed his hands in his pockets once Myles crossed his arms, before replying with, “And you’re an insignificant peon who talks more than is wanted or needed.”

He turned on his heels again, “May I go?”

[totaldramamyles]

Myles croaked at the insult. “What the *bleep* did you just say to me?” When Jinta turned on his heels and asked to go. “Hell no you can’t go,” Myles said angrily. “Apologize right now,” he put his face right in Jinta’s blocking his way.

If it were anyone else he’d have been kissing them right now but he was so bad his hot breath was dancing across Jinta’s face, luckily he always had fresh breath smelling like mint, he was very subconscious about it, but he didn’t need another insult to add to his ever growing furnace. “Right now!” He demanded, stomping his foot.

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta stared at Myles, as an amused, almost sadistic smirk crossed his lips. He stepped back a step to tap his lip, almost mockingly. He then replied, simply,

"No, I don't think I will."

[totaldramavideogame]

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta gave an amused snort at Myles’s retort, but this was short-lived, as it changed back to a scowl when Myles grabbed ahold of his arm.

"I’d recommend that you let go of me," he spoke, his tone not changing, "All this is doing is proving my point that you have no self-control in your anger. This competition is nothing but strictly business for me. If you stop giving me useful information, I exit from the conversation. Do you understand, Myles-bozu?”

[totaldramamyles]

Myles looked at Jinta in the eyes. His arms crossed in front of his chest with him puffing them out. He looked right in Jinta’s eyes and frowned. “That is the most childish thing I’ve ever heard, I’m not here to be a tissue, to be use and tossed aside when you’re done with me, and you’ll find out that nobody wants to be treated like that.”

He looked around before turning back to Jinta. “You’re nothing but an asshole who uses people, you know what the term for that is. TOOL. You’re an enormous tool.”

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta stuffed his hands in his pockets once Myles crossed his arms, before replying with, "And you're an insignificant peon who talks more than is wanted or needed."

He turned on his heels again, "May I go?"

[totaldramavideogame]

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta blew a puff of air from his nostrils in amusement before standing up.

"I’ll keep that in mind," he replied, "As for you, crossing your arms like that is very immature. Something to fix on your part, as minor as it may be."

"Thanks for the match," he replied, and began to walk forward towards the exit.

[totaldramamyles]

"Learn not to be such an obnoxious asswad," Myles said he was unamused at Jinta being so infuriating and he definitely wouldn’t make the mistake again. He fumed, chasing after Jinta. "Don’t walk away from me you jerk."

Myles grabbed Jinta’s arm and spun him around. “Why are you being such an asshole? What the hell did I do to you?” He normally didn’t get so upset at someone but he was being so nice and trying so hard to get along with Jinta, only to have his effort thrown back in his face. “What is your problem…” His nostrils flared.

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta gave an amused snort at Myles's retort, but this was short-lived, as it changed back to a scowl when Myles grabbed ahold of his arm.

"I'd recommend that you let go of me," he spoke, his tone not changing, "All this is doing is proving my point that you have no self-control in your anger. This competition is nothing but strictly business for me. If you stop giving me useful information, I exit from the conversation. Do you understand, Myles-bozu?"

[totaldramavideogame]

[totaldramajinta]

"That would depend on how well at stroking you really are," Jinta’s words were blunt, and his emotionless expression didn’t help matters. 

He then scowled, “I appreciate your help. But this is something I need to take into my own hands.” His scowl wasn’t from being haughty, but from stubbornness instead. He knew that Myles was absolutely right. He just didn’t want to vocally admit it.

[totaldramamyles]

"Oh I’m quite an expert at stroking!" Myles couldn’t stop himself, someone hadn’t played along with him in so long it felt nice to have someone to flirt with and even though Jinta was being blunt and unruly it still felt nice to have someone there who wasn’t afraid to flirt.

"Whatever you say, act as big and tough as you want but I’m not going to be the one who has to bail you out when you’re being stubborn, we’re team members, don’t forget that when you’re riding it solo." Myles crossed his arms angrily. Jinta was really stubborn and that didn’t make Myles happy any more.

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta blew a puff of air from his nostrils in amusement before standing up.

"I'll keep that in mind," he replied, "As for you, crossing your arms like that is very immature. Something to fix on your part, as minor as it may be."

"Thanks for the match," he replied, and began to walk forward towards the exit.

[totaldramavideogame]

[totaldramajinta]

Jinta breathed as the blades retreated from around his neck. Shakily, but calmly, he sat down next to Myles, feeling extremely exhausted. He crossed his legs under him and shook his head.

"My steps and strategy were all off," he scowled, "If victory is going to remain in my grasp, I need to keep practicing."

He turned to Myles and covered up his anger with a hollow smile, “But thank you for… stroking my ego, Myles-bozu.”

[totaldramamyles]

Myles smirked. “I wouldn’t mind stroking other things if you catch my drift” but the words had already escaped his mouth before he could stop himself. He was smirking and blushing at the same time which came off making him look like a helpless animal. 

He looked at Jinta. “What I meant to say if that your strategy was good, but if you run into someone else who also has invisibility you’re going to have to come up with something that covers all areas, otherwise they’ll sneak up on you. If you can’t see them you’re going to have to hear them. That’s what I had to use on you.” He shrugged offering the advice, not sure if Jinta would take it.

[totaldramajinta]

"That would depend on how well at stroking you really are," Jinta's words were blunt, and his emotionless expression didn't help matters. 

He then scowled, "I appreciate your help. But this is something I need to take into my own hands." His scowl wasn't from being haughty, but from stubbornness instead. He knew that Myles was absolutely right. He just didn't want to vocally admit it.
