Galactimato Big Brother Week 3
<<Week 1 | < Week 2 | Week 4>
Tumblr media
Week 3 begins with yet another vacancy, this time evicted by America through Emil. Things didn't go too smoothly, however, as his plans may have been seen by another houseguest! How long will he be able to keep his secrets? Is he running out of time?
Tumblr media
Now that everyone has had a few weeks to get to know each other, they were asked one simple question: Who would they evict out of anyone in the house? Most were too nice to give an answer, but some did respond.
--
"Higgy." Tsuki tapped her cheek. "I don't like the way he works Nicky and Toni to death with those dance rehearsals."
"The older Konno is too," Lorenzo tried to find the word, "...rowdy for my liking."
"Higgy!" Maxy answered without hesitation. "Someone needs to knock him off his high horse! At least Mai is fun about it."
Higgy tilted his nose up. "Maxy is a nuisance."
"It's nice to have friends here." "Angelo started. I-I even made a new one! Somehow. But it's hard to s-s--to spend time together... It's selfish, but everyone I'd vote off is close to them in some way. Or America's Player. Th-They could be really bad for my friends' chances. I th-thh--I might I know who it is..."
--
Those cryptic words may spell trouble for Emil, but the next segment spells HoH. It's time for the Head of Household Competition!
Tumblr media
--
"I don't have many rules." Jun stated upon winning. "Just, like, keep the vibes chill, okay?"
--
Were the vibes chill? Before we head to the Nomination Ceremony, let's see what some of the houseguests have to say!
--
"It's nice! Higgy's practice is a little rough, but that's normal. The star rangers are nice. Emil and Roxie have poofy hair and hearts. We are friends~" Nicky pointed at the camera. "And you're here too."
"The viewers or...?" asked Kenji.
Nicky smiled.
"I think he's dehydrated."
"I swear Higgy has his band brainwashed." Tsuki shook her head. "Toni especially. Poor thing's practically on a leash!"
"Everyone thinks Higgy-senpai is mean. He is," Toni admitted, "but he protects me from Maxy! And listens to me! Sometimes."
"I don't like that kid trying to cling to Toni. Jun too." Mai sneered. "He's weird. I heard him begging for that freckle chart when Toni was tossing it out because 'I didn't get a chance to vote for you!'" She mimicked Angelo's pitiful face. "Gimme a break! I swear he woulda dug in the trash if Emil wasn't there."
"I've been hanging out a lot with Emil and Maxy lately and hadn't realized how much I ignored Angie." Leon glanced away. "But Emil's been getting him to tag along! He's so welcoming like that~! Also, I swore I saw a leg in the garbage can last night. Might be my imagination."
"I'm worried about Mai." mused Jun. "She says wild stuff and doesn't, like, have guidance. I've been trying to help out. Angelo hovers around, but I guess he's too shy to interrupt. I worry about him too. Y'know how it is, yeah?" They asked Kenji.
"Please don't acknowledge me."
"Lorie asked me about voting off Mia." Emil began. "I forgot her family was struggling financially, so that's what I told him. Feel kinda bad though." He paused. "But what I do remember is that Jun knows how to check fingerprints. I've been keeping an eye on Ange so he doesn't get his hands on the chart again." He winked. "I think he's worried about Leon, Roxie, and Toni, but I can't see America voting them out. I tried telling him that. Subtly. 'Siiiides, we took the trash out yesterday afternoon."
"It's been nice being with the others, even th--even though I know what Emil's doing. I-I don't have anything against him, and it's kinda s-silly but," Angelo pulled a crumpled, stained paper from his coat, "I trust myself over America. S-s--I'm sorry."
Tumblr media
--
It appears Emil has underestimated how far Angelo will go to protect his friends. But can he protect them from the veto ceremony? Let's find out!
--
"Thanks for a really chill week, you guys." Jun started. "I'd rather not nominate anyone, but two of you did kinda harsh the vibe. Higgy, Maxy, step into the nomination zone."
They did so, glaring at each other all the way.
"This wouldn't have happened if you didn't mess with my rehearsals." Higgy muttered.
"Well you shouldn'ta had 'em near my bird-calling spot!"
"What kind of birds make fart sounds??"
"Hey! Don't blame your butt problems on the birds!"
Higgy seethed. "I have ways to make you live in regret."
Tumblr media
"Hey, hey." Jun interrupted. "Let's let the eviction votes settle this, assuming neither of you get vetoed."
"Fine." conceded Higgy. "But if he somehow survives, mark my words, I will evict Maxy Konno with my own hands."
"Not if I get rid of you first." Maxy flashed his fangs.
"Oooooh, spicy!" Benji's gold tooth twinkled as he smiled. "Will the flames of rivalry be put out by eviction, or will they burn a little longer? Stick around for the veto competition to find out!"
Tumblr media
"I didn't even do anything to get Higgy nominated!" Emil recounted from the interview room at some unspecified point in the future. "I was too busy dealing with Angelo and forgot!" He laughed.
For the PoV Competition, it's time to get schooled ...Again?
--
"Is it a good idea to reuse a challenge in the same week?" asked Kenji.
"Reuse sounds so cheap, call it a 'redux!" Benji corrected. "Plus, I'd rather not build anymore sets until we have more hands on deck."
"I understand."
--
Jun, Maxy, and Higgy, along with Roxie, Nicky, and Tsuki, play Getting Schooled again for the Power of Veto. Maxy wins! Onto the Veto Ceremony!
--
"Should I use this now or wait until we explain ourselves or whatever?" Maxy waved his PoV around.
"Why waste our time? Just use it." Higgy ordered.
"Thought I was the host, but okay!" Benji raised his eyebrows. "Why don'tcha use your veto?"
"I veto myself! ...Again~" Maxy gave a dirt-eating grin to Higgy and Toni as he returned to the group.
Jun seemed at a loss. "Uhh. Shoot. I dunno who else to pick."
"Excuse me?" Angelo raised a hand.
"A volunteer~" announced Benji.
"No no no! I-I just wanted t-t-to know if you could check this for prints?"Angelo lifted the freckles chart.
"Did you get that from the dumpster??" Emil blurted out.
"I'd be interested in it." Jun answered Angelo's question. "But I don't, like, have everyone's prints on hand for comparison. And now's kind of a bad time."
"S-Sorry..." Angelo looked down.
"It's cool!" They reassured. "Tell you what, give me a name and I'll check that person's fingerprints after the eviction, 'k?"
"Right now?"
"Ch'yeah~"
"In front of everyone?"
"I'd let you whisper, but... you seem to have a situation going on." Jun gestured to his trashy clothes.
"Th-That's okay." Angelo declined.
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
"Well. You helped me with one thing at least." Jun told him.
"What's that?"
"Picking a replacement. Angelo, step into the zone."
"Wh-what?" His eyes widened in shock.
"No one knows who put up the chart but you and the culprit." Jun smirked. "Could be the same person. You have the perfect moment to name them and you won't?" They went on. "Sounds suspicious to me. Sounds like something America's Player would do to throw us off."
"What?? No, I'm not them!" he insisted.
"That's something America's Player would say!" accused Maxy.
"I-I'm not! I'm really not!"
"Leave him alone!" Toni defended.
"Didn't you throw it out?" Mai recalled. "He could've been tryin' to frame you."
"Angelo wouldn't do that," Toni turned to his friend, "would you...?"
"No." Angelo was on the verge of tears, wounded by the accusation. "Of course not!"
"We don't know if he did it." Jun reminded, looking a little mortified, just as Emil did. "But just to be on the safe side, he's the replacement."
--
Tumblr media
Angelo set out to reveal the truth but one hesitation landed him in hot water with his fellow contestants. Where will the votes fall, and who will America choose as its next target?
Tumblr media
While Higgy was no Mr. Popularity, Angelo proved to be too big of a threat to Emil for America to allow him a continued existence at the household. How did the houseguests handle this decision?
--
"The younger Summers has schemed once." reminisced Lorenzo."He could be doing so again."
"I'll make sure Toni's safe." Mai nodded, folding her arms.
Maxy threw his hands up"I don't care if the other kid's America's Player, Higgy's goin' down!"
"Do I really have to explain my vote?" Leon smiled nervously. "Angie's my little brother!"
"So Emil," Benji began, "what do you have to say to uhh, that?"
"What can I say?" Emil shook his head. "He had to go, but... that was brutal. He could've ratted me out at any moment, but he didn't. I feel like I need to say something to him."
"You'll get your chance."
--
Tumblr media
Angelo became yet another falling star from the Celestion-5's sky, following Aiden and Mia. How many more will follow him? At least four more, but only time will tell. As for now, it seems like Emil isn't the only one who has something to say to him.
--
"Hey." Jun leaned in the doorway as Angelo, clean and freshly dressed, packed his bags.
"Hello."
They sighed. "Shoulda picked my words more carefully. I got so wrapped up in my theory, I started a witch hunt. I didn't mean to, but I did, and for that I'm so sorry."
Angelo stopped packing "Thank you Jun. Th-That means a lot to me." He held up the chart. "Do you still want this?"
"Sure, it's the least I can do." Jun's smile melted into a frown as they took it in their hands. "It's soaked."
"S-Sorry, I know it's gross." He apologized. "It got stained in the garbage and my hands were s-sweaty, so that didn't help."
They gave a pitied smile. "It's not your fault. But I can't take prints from this. Not by normal means."
"Oh..."
"You know what? It's better that way." Angelo almost said something, but stopped. "Yeah, you're probably right."
Benji stood in front of the house with Angelo. "Well. That was kind of a rough ceremony, huh? How're ya feelin'?"
"A little sad I have to leave." admitted Angelo. "But if th-th--if I helped the others s-survive, I'm happy. I just hope no one's too mad at me."
"Welp, these three aren't!" Benji extended an arm to the side. "You can come out now!"
Leon exited first and gave his brother a hug. "I'll miss you, buddy."
"I'll miss you a lot too..."
He gave another hug. "That one's for Roxie!"
"She's not here...?" Angelo seemed a little hurt.
"She would be if she could! But someone else wanted to show up even more."
Toni barreled around the corner and into Angelo for a hug, stunning him.
"T-Toni? But you--"
"I didn't vote against you because I thought you lied!" Toni blurted, holding Angelo's hands. "I did so Higgy wouldn't be mad at me. I really like you! I'm sorry!!"
"It's okay. I...I like you too!" Angelo happily teared up. "I hope I can see you again someday."
"Toni, it's time for rehearsal!" Higgy's voice called.
Toni looked at his shoes. "Sorry, but I have to go now."
He turned to walk away, turned back, and gave Angelo one last hug before running off.
Emil was the last to exit. "Hey, Ange."
"Emil...?"
"Yeah, he wanted to say goodbye!" Leon explained to his brother's shock.
"Plus I had something to tell you!" added Emil. "A secret!"
"Oh?"
Emil stooped down to whisper to him.
Angelo smiled and giggled. "I have something for you too."
He whispered something in Emil's ear. The latter stood back up and nodded.
"Of course. I'll try! And one last thing!" Emil gave Angelo a hearty hug. "Stay strong out there, okay? We're rooting for ya!" He winked.
"And don't try to sneak back into the house!" Leon warned. "We'll miss you, but don't do any crimes!"
Angelo laughed. "I'll do my best!"
