Interacting with: Elias [@Silent Observer] and Jenna [@Lovely Complex] in the Kitchen[/center][hr]
It took everything in Jake to not vent his frustration by screaming and punching the nearest wall. He reminded himself that this game was a popularity contest first and foremost, and being a sore loser wasn’t going to win him any friends. Instead he clenched his teeth, grunting softly to himself, but giving the other players, red or blue team alike, a congratulatory nod, with a forced smile. But oh well, it was the first challenge, there’d be many more, as long as he could stay in the game. But, he was now vulnerable, so it was time to start playing the social game. He couldn’t do that covered in mystery goo though, so it was time to change. 

He ran himself through the shower quickly, washing off the goop and sweat from the day’s challenge, and taking a moment to reflect, and think of his plan for the day. He hadn’t really talked to anyone yet, other than brief introductions, but there were definitely a few that made a good first impression. There were quite a number of rather attractive women, that had definitely caught Jake’s attention. The biggest question on his mind was which one to talk to first.

After a few minutes, he got out of the shower, drying off and getting dressed, slipping on a pair of black skinny jeans, and a [url=https://www.impericon.com/media/catalog/product/t/h/thedevilwearsprada_1_lg.jpg]The Devil Wears Prada T-Shirt[/url]. He didn’t expect anyone to know the band that his shirt referenced, but if they did, it would be a good icebreaker. It’s why all the shirts he brought with him her band shirts, one of the only topics he was confident in talking about. After spending a moment staring in the mirror, making sure his hair looked okay, he left the bathroom and headed out to go mingle.

A loud call that promised Quesadillas caught his attentions as he neared the kitchen, which definitely decided his course. He smirked as he joined the pair there, nodding at them both in greeting. He gave Elias a friendly pat on the back, before standing beside him, though making sure not to get in the way. [color=00aeef]“Good work earlier dude, you crushed it.”[/color] He congratulated, his tone casual yet still seemingly genuine. [color=00aeef]“Need any help?”[/color] He asked, out of politeness more so than anything. He’d never been a good cook, but he was sure he could manage to cut some vegetables or something. He let out a soft snicker then at Jenna’s flirting, rolling his eyes a little, though giving her a smirk. [color=00aeef]“Probably why you lost.”[/color] He prodded with a teasing tone.
