"What the hell man? I had him. Why did you have to interfere ?" asked an angry Alex pushing Zac .
"You think you're tough...well them...be a man! " he prepared a punch for Zac.
"It was my fight. He shouldn't have interferred. He was in for it now."
Vivien ran outside , as the guys were thrown out. She saw Alex getting even more furious. "I just knew he was trouble."
She saw Alex pushing Zac, and threatening him. "Alex stop it! Calm down!"
"Shut the f**k up" he turned his attention to Vivien. Despite this she remained calm.

"And Lyle's right, just cause I'm all peace and love doesn't mean I won't swing at you" She joked, half playing and half serious as she motioned for everyone in a random direction. "How about, we wonder around, find a new place and relax? How does eating sound?" She said, suggesting anything to get everyone to loosen up and have fun like they planned before.
"Hell, guess It's what happens when you join the Real World." She gave a tiny shrug, "Anymore drama, I'll just sit back and watch..." She said, drifting off before letting out a laugh. "Yeah righttttt~"

"After a 20 hour flight I just felt like crap, and even with my insomnia it looked I was going to drop dead as soon as I got inside."
Will graciously left the taxi and paid the driver the exact amount of money he needed. He grabbed the two large bags behind leaving the taxi and walked up the steps dragging the bags on their wheels behind to open the door, but blocked otherwise. "Right." He thought. Of course it's locked, if it wasn't there might've be croooks inside. Will presented a key from his pocket that he got in the mail upon acceptance onto the show, proudly opening the door, dragging his two luggage bags inside, and advanced forward, leaving his bags inside the main hall, NOT locking the door behind. Of course once he hit the living room he dropped on the couch and made in imprint on it's fabric, taking the time to look up and actually observe the house.
"A house such as this, should'nt be to made to make a show in which people look at you on national TV, watching your life. But it was still amazing."
After graciously taking a good ten minutes for his bloodshot eyes to examine the place he sat up from the couch towards the kitchen, going past the marble countertop to grab a glass from the cupboard, tilt the glass over to the sink and take glass after glass of water after a dehydrated trip. After about 6 glasses he put the glass on the countertop and made his way around it to go after a door.
"Next thing I see is a spiral staircase, a pool table, and" Pauses for a second. "A sauna door? Who was the damn architect here?"
Will then immediatly remembered there was suppose to be more then one person in this house, but it was night so they were proably asleep, or partying, either way there wasn't a cameramen around. Where there hidden cameras? Will tried to shake off the thought in his head, as he took steps in his black sneakers toward the sauna door, stepping around the staircase in his black sneakers, plain white shirt, and loose blue jeans. "A sauna next to the billiard table. That's smart." He remarked to himsef quietly.
"I still had to see if it was real, or just for show." Looks awkwardly up, then to the side, heaving a sigh avoiding the camera. "It was real."
The walls of the Sauna was lined with wooden boards obviously scorched from the heat that it's been recieving it's fair share of heat seeing as it was in fact very real, making the line of seats available. The intense heat still hovered over the room and on closer examination there was no time limit to set like in any other sauna. After a brief time hanging around the room it started to get a little uncomfortable, beads of sweat started to form so he turned back to the door to push it open.
Then to pull it. Then to push it.
"I was trapped."

"I have the self control to back out of something stupid. A quality Alex obviously doesn't have."
Claire walked outside after seeing everyone in the group leave. "Well that was fun. I didn't even get a drink." Claire slumped down and made a sad face. "I agree with Star, let's go take the party somewhere else. It's too early to go home."
Zac shook his head and turned around. "Whatever, I'm just going to walk home. I'll see you guys back at the house." Zac set off down the street torwards the house and walked the span of the beach, looking out at the ocean, trying to calm down. He could already tell that he and Alex would have some problems.

This is a good introduction to the local nighlife .. " rolls her eyes " But i called it..right.. some people think only wit their muscles and there...* looks downwards. " and just can't handle there drinks." shrugs.. " I should have stayed behind ..but... the night was definatly over. "
She catches the tail end of the discussion to move this party over as she catches up with Claire Star and co. " Non, I believe thing tend to get worse , once the trend begins. right?.. I'm going to go with the boys and relax at home.. but have fun. and be careful... and watch...whatshisname.. " jabs a finger towards Alex " Boys like you.. never grow up.. and end up in jail.. or worse. Don't drag people with you."
"Seriously though, he can do what he wants. Eventually people won't help him and he'll figure it out.. or I guess.. He won't and have to deal with the collossal mess all alone. good on him." Right now, All's i wanted is that temporary home, a glass of wine and maybe the hot tub.. Oh.. and some food!"
She leaves the group then running after Zac and Lyle shouting a " Wait!"

"No." Will said to himself as the door wouldn't open. With five more unsucessful pulls and pushes, he said the word one more time. "NO! God dammit! HELP! IS ANYONE THERE? HEEELLLLO!" Continuing to shout from the top of his lungs once more through the sauna door, every word drying out his lungs faster and faster as the heat was sucked in. A long pause as Will peered his head through the small window looking for any sign of help but was failed by the same scene he was introduced. Taking slow steps from the door meticulously remebering how he had to pull the sauna door from the other side, he ran forward charging the door with his scrawny shoulder, the door still stood still unmoved and the pain shot up the shoulder into the entire arm. Will leaned against the scorching wood wall for support, sliding himself down on the burning porcelin tile floor.
"...What the fuck you want me to say?"
5-10 Minutes: Regret
Why the fuck did I have to walk in here? To see if this was a real sauna. It's real enough as the intense heat started to beat down on Will, his white shirt sticking to his skin, feet being cooked by his own socks and shoes, privates being roasted by his pants. Common sense hit him as he started to take off his shirt and shoes feeling only a slight relief as the small amount of heat left him. The wet sweat white shirt balled up in his hand, shoes kicked off somewhere in the sauna.
10-20 minutes: Anger
"Fuck this sauna! Fuck the god damn architect! Fuck this stupid show! FUCK GOD!" He looked around the room doing a quick 360 spin. "Are you bastards watching me die now? You sick fucks! Get off your asses and help me right NOW!" the last word said with a dried throat. The sauna was definitly hotter then it was suppose to be considering Will just had a lot of water before going inside. "Now you take her and try to take me? Well screw you." an almost inaudible whisper escaping for his dried lips. Will blinked a few more times, wiping the steam off his glasses and wrapping the wet T-Shirt over his right hand. He pulled back his arm and released it towards the small window of the door, making contact with the small window creating a small crack. Then throw after throw of punches, until something in the shoulder cracked and another pain slid up on the sweating body. The window was only slightly cracked, because at this point Will lost what little strength he had in the first place.
20-40 Minutes: Fear
The porcelain tiles started to feel like fire, and the heat became too fucking hot. The standing half-naked brown skinned man barely had enough power to stand on his two sock. He watched as the rocks burn on the wooden pedestal, using most possibly coals. A cackling noise escaped the rocks then went on to heat the room. Sweat dripping off his skin, onto his glasses still wearing his loose-fitted jeans. I..don't want to die. He thought as he leaned on the door to push it open, hand on the cracked window of the door as a last desperate attempt. Is this door stuck? Is it openable from the other side? Or is that stuck too?
He looked up at the walls while leaning, wondering why there wasn't any safety knobs, or water valves over the roof to put out a fire in an emergency or even an axe on the wall at this point. It's almost as if this room is rigged, that something like this was suppose to happen to cause a quick scare before some other roommate from the other side can open it. Seeing the flaw in the plan of his mind: he was alone and no one until morning would find my dead body. Lest that's he thought. I was suppose to be a famous poet! I was supose to finish my epic! Is that mean...I'm going to..
Will's breathing became very heavy as his blood boiled, a layer of sweat covered the half-naked man. It was getting hard to blink and to even see throgh his glasses. His heartrate tripiling from his normal rate, worst of all his insomnia was started to fail him. His hands on the window, managing to lift his bloodshot eyes to see through to the rec room, staircase, and open door from the living room. It was irony how he made characters condemned to die, a couple of them burned alive. Right now, it felt exactly as it was written. Someone... please... help
Pause then anger over Will's face as he reached his hand over to the camera. "Get that crap out of my face!"

" I never say sorry...but this girl...I feel she really diserves it..."
"I did not mean to cause this much trouble. Are you alright?" now he looked into her eyes. "Wanna head home, or somewhere else?"
Vivien watched the others go . Alex seemed to have calmed himself down. It looked like Claire was a good influence.
"Comm on Star.....it looks like Claire's got it under control. I have a suggestion: let's go home and watch a movie or something, or chill in the tub. But please let's take a cab, my feet are killing me." she smiled at Star.
"I wanted to go home. Too much drama for the first night. But I also did not want Star wandering on her own. She's really nice."
( OOC: Will rescuers are on their way.)

"I would never forgive myself if anything happens to her."
She grabbed a cab and got at the villa in no time. When she got inside, nobody had arrived yet. She went to the livingroom where she saw 2 baggages. "Hello..." she called walking arround the house to look for the new flatmate.
"I did not know someone else was commin. Well the more the maryer."
Vivien checked the whole villa and did not find anyone. She decided she needed to relax a bit so she undressed , put a towel arround her and headed to the sauna. When she oppened the door she got beyond scared as a guy was sitting down on the floor. "Oh my!" said Vivien breathing uneven." Hello there! Are you lost?" she smiled at the boy figuring he was the new contestant. She held her hand out to him "I'm Vivien. Welcome." she again smiled.

"Ya, I'm good," said Zac. He was still cooling down, and wanted to be alone but he knew his roommate just wanted to make sure he was okay. He was quiet the whole time they walked home as Ana caught up with them as well. It was earlier in the night, only about ten and it was much earlier and much more sober of an end to the night that he had expected. As he walked home, he remembered that Alex had roomed with him, which made him even more mad. "Great, I'm roommates with that jack-off!" He quieted down when he remembered Lyle and Ana were with him. "Sorry."
"Great..."
When they finally reached the house, Zac came in and noticed that Vivien was home already and she was in the sauna with another guy who was on the floor. "Whoa, what's going on?" He ran over to the sauna door and knelt down next to the stranger. Maybe he was their last roommate to be expected to arrive. "What happened Viv?"
"Man, this one night is probably an episodes worth of footage, huh."
Claire was still a little mad at Alex for blowing up, and was a little frightened of him. He was a little unstable from what she could tell. She could tell that he was actually sorry though. Claire wasn't just going to give in to it though, even though she kind of liked him aside from his attitude at times. "You shouldn't apoligize to me Alex. What about Zac." She backed up, and then turned to Star.
"How about we hang out on the beach for a while," she said. Claire still wanted to have fun tonight as well and could tell Star did too.

He looked up at the situation, an overly kind girl who seems to be only slightly surprised by his prescence. After 40 minutes trapped in a sauna these next words weren't intended for flattery, but rather a slight conscoius chance of death. "Are you an angel? Am I going to hell?" with a raspy voice.
"I wasn't thinking, and couldn't at this point."
The another person went inside, a guy and knelt beside Will. "What happened Viv?"
"Oh great, I'm not dead or am I? Are you a male angel?." Will said with the same raspy voice. With a grut he tried to step up, or move but was failed by his limp limbs.
"Fuck, I can't move..." A loud raspy cough sounded through the sauna.
"Will the angels drag me out of here? Then get some water? And water? And water?"

"Oh my. This is really serious. This guy could have died."
She grabbed one of his arms as Zac grabbed the other and they carried him to the couch. Vivien then ran to the kitchen and brought a bottle of water handing it to Will. She looked from him to Zac with a concerned face. "How are you feeling?"
Alex realised Claire was still upset. "Zac is worthless. But yeah, let's go on the beach or to grab something to eat." he said following teh girls.

"Viv, go grab some water, I'll be right back."
Lyle bolted upstairs and grabbed a towel, some of his shorts, a shirt, and some of his Vaseline.
"What? When you ride bulls and horses your legs get chapped and it F***s up your hands."
He ran downstairs and awkwardly attempted to help put the new guy in his clothes which would be sweat free and a lot more comfortable. He waited for him to answer Viviens question and said, "Viv, can you get him some more water? Look at his lips, he has been in there for a long time."
He reached for his vaseline and applied a small amount to his lips gently. "I'm Lyle, figured you should know since I just stripped you and now I'm touching you." He smiled at the guy and then rubbed the extra around his lips and his nose holes. He looked pretty bad.
"Its cooling off but its not yet cold, lets take him out to the balcony if there isn't any wind?" He asked looking at Zac.

"The beach was amazing at night. I can't until we all go during the day!" She yawned slightly, "Oh, and I hope that Alex guy doesn't cause too much trouble at once. I have a feeling he doesn't like me, hmm.."
Without moving, she just laid there and stared at the sky, enjoying the cool feel of the sand on her back and on her arms and legs before she started to open and close her legs, bringing her arms up and down. "Look guys, Sand angels!" She said with a light giggle. If no one knew any better, they would've thought she was wasted.

" Really. No one saw the roasting guy on camera in the control room." narrows her eyes suspiciously at the camera " If this is the s**t your playing at for fun Im out.. "
She follows the crowd to the couch, perching on its neck rest so she can peer down at er oven baked friend.
" Em.. Ana.. since we're all doing introductions.. shifts her gaze back between the other three. " Should we call in a nurses , maybe?"
" How long was he in there... it looks like at the moisture is dried up on his entire ...self.." blinks.. " So while alex was fighting..and we were drinking.. this guy was suffocating..perfect, i feel like a tool" she slides down the down, lifting the mans head to she can gently place it on top her lap. she runs a hand though his hair, in a means of comfort.. its the only thing she herself can remember her mother doing to soothe her when she was in distress.
" Your safe now.."

"Star is hilarious! I love her!" Claire giggled to herself.
"I don't think he needs to go up on the balcony," said Zac. It would help, but it'd just be extra work. Zac leaned back on the couch, watching what Will would do next, hopefully he was alright. "Do you guys think we should call an ambulance? He doesn't seem alright."
((Yuck, short post.))

"Any of you girls up for a swim" he smirked at them unbucking his pants. "I dare you'
"I love having fun. Sue me"
Vivien leaned on the couch looking at Will and then the others. She shook her head."This is wrong.....if he's not getting any better in 10 minutes I say we call an ambulance.The only problem that might arise would be his lungs.He inhaled steam so he might have breathing problems.But agian this might not be the case."she held her head looking down and then holding the towel closer to body.
"My parents wanted me in Med School so I've studyed a lot of medicine, even did a couple of uni courses. But the ideea is that I want him to get better."

Will shot a blank stare at the cieling, the only stare he had with himself.
"I feel like I've been in a oven for a good hour and that giants are going to eat me. That's the nice way of putting it Vivian."
Steam still emitted from his body into the cool air, as he can feel his clothes being stripped off new ones being put on. Something was rubbed on his lips. Vix? no... Vaseline. Moving his eyes towards the arm, then head the arm was connected to. A guy. "I'm Lyle, figured you should know since I just stripped you and now I'm touching you."
"Oh. Hello Lyle."
Another face came up, Ana as she introduced herself. "So while Alex was fighting..and we were drinking.. this guy was suffocating..perfect, I feel like a tool" she sat down on the couch, putting Will's head on her lap stroking his hair. "Your safe now."
"I know. Now drag me to hell. Angels fight? That'd get-you-kicked-out-of-a-club-to-find-a-guy-roasting-alive in a house..."
Vivian leaned closer and shook her head. "This is wrong.....if he's not getting any better in 10 minutes I say we call an ambulance.The only problem that might arise would be his lungs. He inhaled steam so he might have breathing problems. But again this might not be the case." She pulled the towel closer absorbing the heat.
"It's heat, not steam. Steam is the boilng production of water vapor such as forced evaporation. Heat will expand the lungs until either the lungs burst or rip, or when the ribs fracture as they can't handle the pressure being produced in the lungs.
Feeling was being restored in Will's body, as he pushed his head up and sat down on the couch, still heavily breathing, raspy voice nearly gone. "No ambulance. No ambulance. Water. More water, and sleep. I'm Will if anyone cares to know." Falling back down on Ana's lap, a near whisper escaping his dried vaselined lips. "No ambulance."
"I owe them my life."

Seems I'm not the only biology nerd in the house! Ye-haw!
He didn't bother correcting viviene but figured that Will doing it was alright. This wasn't a time to set straight the difference between steam, smoke, and heat, this was the time to care for someone.
Lyle squeezed Wills hand. "No Ambulance buddy, no ambulance."
He got up and went to the kitchen grabbing three bottles of water. One he put on the side table and one he attempted to hand to Will who seemed to almost faint into Vivien (Anas?) lap. "Take this one slow buddy, we got plenty."

"I like Claire. Not ony she's hot, but she's fun as well. I also enjoy Star's company."
Vivien smiled at Will. "I'll go change into something more appropriate"she said holding her towel tight and going upstairs. She came back quick in a white vest and black harlem pants. "Alright anybody want anything to eat? Will?" she smiled at them, playing with her long hair.
Then a voice echoed from the hall "Guess who's home". Alex came where the others were ad looked at Will. "hey " then looked at Vivien "No food for me sugar I need alcohool. And where's my mate, Zac?" he smirked heading to the kitchen. "Claire, Star I found ourselvs a frind it's called Vodka." Vivien just rolled her eyes at his attitude.
