Chapter 30 Episode Script
Narrator: Welcome back to the L, the O, the V, E… Um... Island. Dammit, Tim made it sound much better over the phone. Previously, Tom went for a makeover...
Tom: I feel like I'd like to loosen up...
Narrator: Wouldn't we all, mate. And Will took Player by surprise with a sudden confession...
Will: Like the ocean breeze on a morning kind of serious.
Narrator: Coming up! The girls have all the power in the recoupling to end all recouplings… Well, until the next one, anyway.
Player: The person I want to couple up with is...
Narrator: The other girls are already on their way to the firepit, but our Player just can't make up her mind on what to wear. We've all been there. Or at least, I would be if my luggage hadn't been lost.
Player (thinking): Ah, everyone's already gone to the firepit, I need to decide on what to wear!
Player: This should turn a few heads...
Narration: Just then, there's a knock at the door.
Player: Um, come in?
Narration: The door opens and Tom/Cora walks in.
Tom/Cora: Hey, you.
{if new outfit}
Tom/Cora: Woah! You're really going all out for tonight, eh? You look stunning!
{if banana costume}
Narration: Tom/Cora goes to speak but stops.
Tom/Cora: That's... an outfit choice you've made.
Player: A good one.
Tom/Cora: A one for sure!
{if hotdog costume}
Tom/Cora: When you said you'd be wearing something ‘hot', this isn't what I imagined… But you somehow pull it off.
{else}
Tom/Cora: Oh, cute! I love you in that outfit.
Tom/Cora: You look nice tonight.
Player: Thanks!
{if Cora}
Narration: Cora continues to stand in the doorframe.
Player (thinking): Cora's not saying anything…
CHOICE: Did you need something?
Narration: Cora smiles, then clears her throat.
Cora: Ha, no…
CHOICE: Are you lost?
Narration: Cora smiles, then clears her throat.
Cora: Ha, no...
CHOICE: Just can't keep away from me, eh?
Narration: Cora pulls gently at her clothing.
Cora: Well, about that...
Cora: Ugh, sorry, I'm just trying to find the right words. What I'm trying to say is... you need to look for someone else tonight.
Player: If I go before you, you mean?
Cora: Yeah. I see us as more of a friendship couple at this point… And I need a better chance at romance in here.
Player (thinking): Cora's told me not to pick her tonight…
CHOICE: That's fine, hun
Player: I understand where you're coming from with the ‘Villa being a buffet' thing.
Narration: Cora lets out a breath.
Cora: I knew you'd understand. But I'm glad to hear you say it out loud.
CHOICE: I wish we could have made it
Player: Especially after last night...
Narration: Cora sighs.
Cora: I said at the time, it was just some fun… I'm sexually attracted to you, but not romantically. I am sorry it got complicated, though. This always happens to me. It's not like this has come out of nowhere. I told you before that I'm not interested in you that way.
CHOICE: I wasn't going to anyway
Narration: Cora smiles.
Cora: Excellent. I'm glad we're on the same page here, babe. And whoever you pick tonight is going to be the luckiest person out there.
Cora/Tom: I'm just wondering if you had any thoughts on who you were going to pick tonight?
Player: Many.
{if Tom}
Tom: Ha, yeah, of course. Well, I know you might still have feelings for Bruno/James/Najuma... But am I in your sights at all?
Player: What are you asking?
Tom: I've really grown fond of you in the few days we've been together. I'd hate to lose you now… So, if you're up for it, I'd like you to pick me.
Narration: Tom winces slightly as the words leave his mouth.
Player (thinking): Tom's asking me to pick him tonight…
CHOICE: Of course I will!
Narration: Tom beams with delight.
Tom: Really? I promise you won't regret this!
Narration: Tom goes to give you a hug, then stops, then starts again, then settles on a handshake.
Player: Alright, calm down.
Tom: Ah! Sure, sure...
CHOICE: I don't think so, sorry
Narration: Tom’s face falls.
Tom: Oh… Well. Whoever you pick tonight will be the luckiest Islander in here.
CHOICE: I don't know who I'm picking
Tom: I get that. Leaving it up to how the mood takes you, yeah? It's a tough decision. Whoever you pick tonight will be the luckiest Islander in here.
Narration: Tom/Cora sighs.
Tom/Cora: Well, I've said what I needed to. I'll see you at the firepit.
_
Narration: At the firepit, the boys are already standing, while the girls sit on the bench. You take your place next to Thabi.
Thabi: I can't believe we're picking...
Player (thinking): Thabi looks nervous…
CHOICE: Do you know who you want?
Narration: She looks down to the ground.
Thabi: I do… But I'm still making sure it seems right in my head.
CHOICE: We have the power!
Narration: She smiles.
Thabi: That's easy for you to say. You're always so confident, but I just hate making these decisions.
CHOICE: My stomach's doing flips
Thabi: Doing somersaults?
Player: And tying itself in intricate knots, too.
Thabi: Ouch. Well, at least there aren't any butterflies to go with it.
Player: Give it time. I'm sure they'll hatch soon.
Thabi: ... Gross.
Narration: Just then, your phone pings loudly.
Player: Oh! I've got a text.
Narrator: Player, you are the first to pick the Islander you wish to couple up with.
Player (thinking): I'm first to pick…
CHOICE: Yes! Time to choose
Narration: You smile wide as you scan the boys.
Bruno: Is it just me, or is Player looking a little scary...
CHOICE: Ah, the pressure
Valentina: It's OK, hun. Just follow your heart. Or your libido. Whatever works for you.
CHOICE: Someone else want to go?
Narration: The girls look at you.
Thabi: That's not how it works, I don't think.
Valentina: It's OK, hun. Just follow your heart. Or your libido. Whatever works for you.
Narration: You take a breath.
Player: OK...
Player: I'm choosing this person because…
CHOICE: ... they're kind
Narration: The boys look at one another.
CHOICE: ... they make me laugh
Narration: Bruno and Najuma glance at one another. The boys glance at Bruno.
CHOICE: ... they're really hot
Narration: The boys glance at Youcef, then one each other.
Valentina: Well, that could be anyone, really.
Narration: You smile.
Player: And although we've…
CHOICE: ... had our ups and downs
Youcef: Your journey in here has been like a rough sea.
CHOICE: ... not always been together
Narration: Bruno/James/Najuma's eyes widen.
CHOICE: ... had to overcome so much
Narration: Bruno/James/Najuma nods.
Player (thinking): I just want to…
CHOICE: ... have quality time with this person
Narration: Everyone leans in closer.
CHOICE: ... finally be with this person
Narration: Everyone leans in closer.
CHOICE: ... squeeze this person's butt
Player: As long as they'll let me, of course.
Narration: You pause.
Player: For those reasons...
Player (thinking): The person I want to couple up with is…
CHOICE: Bruno
Narration: Bruno jumps up and down.
Bruno: Yes! Come on my son! Get in there!
Angie: I take it you're happy with Player's decision?
Bruno: You're bloody right I am!
Narration: Youcef leans over to Kobi.
Youcef: ‘Come on my son'?
Kobi: It's a footie thing, mate.
Youcef: Oh.
CHOICE: James
Narration: A large smile spreads across James’ face.
James: I knew we'd get together again.
CHOICE: Najuma
Narration: You see tears forming in Najuma’s eyes.
Najuma: Babe! We're together again!
CHOICE: Tom {if not coupled}
Narration: Tom's eyes widen.
Tom: Well, this is unexpected...
Player: Are you complaining?
Tom: Did I sound like I was?
CHOICE: Tom {if coupled}
Narration: Tom grins at you.
Tom: I knew you'd stick to your word.
CHOICE: Will
Tom/Cora: I didn't see that coming...
Angie: I don't think any of us did.
Narration: Valentina claps her hand over her mouth. The rest of the Islanders stare in shock. Thabi looks a little less surprised than the others. Will smiles sweetly at you.
[your partner]: Bruno/James/Najuma/Tom/Will
Player (thinking): How should I react to [your partner]?
CHOICE: Hug [your partner]
Narration: The two of you waste no time in wrapping your arms around one another.
[your partner]: I've missed this so much!
[your partner]: I could get used to this.
CHOICE: Nod to [your partner]
Narration: The two of you beam at each other.
CHOICE: Smooch [your partner] on the lips
Narration: [your partner] smiles. You pull [your partner]'s face into yours and firmly press your lips together. It's not the most elegant of kisses, but you feel the warmth that radiates from it.
[your partner]: I've missed this so much!
[your partner]: I could get used to this.
[your partner]: I knew you'd wait for me.
Player: I'm a woman of my word.
[your partner]: I thought you said you wouldn't wait for me...
Player: I changed my mind. How could I not be with you?
{if Cora}
Narration: You see Cora give you a cheeky wink and a thumbs up.
Player (thinking): The buffet really is chaotic at times...
{if Tom and promised to choose him}
Player (thinking): I wonder if Tom will find the right person?
Narration: You look across from you and notice Tom’'s face is flushed. It looks like he’s holding back a sob. Tom glances away when he notices you looking.
Player (thinking): I did promise Tom that I'd pick him...
Player: Oops!
{if Tom}
Narration: You glance across and notice Tom looking straight into the fire. The flames dance across his eyes. After a while, Tom looks up and notices you staring. He gives you a warm smile in response.
Player (thinking): It looks like Tom isn't too bothered that I didn't pick him. I told him I wouldn't, after all.
{if promised Bruno/James/Najuma}
Narration: [your partner] sits down with you. You see Bruno/James/Najuma turn away.
Player (thinking): I did tell Bruno/James/Najuma that I'd wait for them… But a girl's mind can change.
Narration: Out of the corner of your eye, you see Bruno/James/Najuma’s gazing at you. Bruno/James/Najuma’s expression is hard to read.
Player (thinking): I hope they’re OK with this…
-
Narration: Just then, another phone pings. Najuma stands up.
Najuma: It's no secret that me and this guy have been hitting it off pretty hard. Not only is he ridiculously hot, we've also started to really get to know one another… So, tonight, the boy I'm choosing to recouple with is Youcef.
Narration: The Islanders cheer. Youcef stands and spreads his arms, welcoming a hug.
Player (thinking): Najuma chose to recouple with Youcef…
CHOICE: You go, girl!
Narration: She smiles at you quickly, before embracing Youcef.
CHOICE: I'd be the filling in that sandwich
[your partner]: What was that, babe?
Player: Oh, um, nothing…
Narration: After a tight embrace, Najuma and Youcef pull away.
CHOICE: They'll run out of steam
[your partner]: What was that, babe?
Player: Oh, um, nothing…
Narration: After a tight embrace, Najuma and Youcef pull away.
Narration: The two of them sit next to each other, hand-in-hand.
Thabi: I wonder who's next...
Narration: Thabi's phone goes off.
Thabi: Oh! It's me.
Narration: She glances around the boys, then takes a breath.
Thabi: This choice might come as a bit of a surprise to everyone… Even I had a bit of a double-take moment when I thought about it. But recently, I've seen a new side to this boy.
Narration: The Islanders look around at each other, confused.
Thabi: The way he's begun to open up… see him in a new light.
Thabi: We've always been friends in here, but the more we spoke, the more I realised how much we had in common.
Thabi: And I feel like this boy gets me in a way that no one else does. So for that reason, the boy I want to couple up with tonight is… Tom/Bruno.
Bruno: Woah! Where'd that come from?
Narration: Tom/Bruno also looks surprised, but he grins back at Thabi.
Player (thinking): Thabi chose to couple up with Tom/Bruno!
CHOICE: Treat her well, Tom/Bruno.
Narration: He laughs.
Tom/Bruno: Of course I will.
CHOICE: Where'd that come from?
Youcef: What made you go off Will?
Thabi: Is it really that surprising?
CHOICE: Talk about a twist
Thabi: Is it really that surprising?
Narration: Thabi laughs.
Thabi: Let's just say that someone...
Narration: She looks at you.
Thabi: ... helped me realise that I didn't need to settle for someone just because I wanted them before.
Thabi: I just realised that I didn't need to settle for someone just because I wanted them before.
Narration: Tom/Bruno comes over and she gives him a hug. They take a seat together.
Valentina: I can't stand this suspense! Please, please, pleeease let me be next.
Narration: A phone pings.
Cora: That was mine. Sorry, babe.
Valentina: Dammit, of course...
Angie: Looks like it's going to be between you and me, love.
Narration: Cora beams at the remaining boys.
Cora: Luckily the boy I want is still right there! He's got great energy… And I could see the two of us getting up to mischief.
Cora: Plus we both play instruments, so we could totally start a band! I don't even mind his terrible humour. I find it charming! So for those reasons and a bajillion more, the boy I wish to couple up with is… Bruno/Will.
Narration: Bruno punches the air.
Bruno: Go on my son!
Narration: Will smiles, looking relieved.
Player (thinking): Cora chose Bruno/Will…
CHOICE: You're meant to be!
Cora: We'll see about that. Bruno needs to keep impressing me.
Narration: Bruno quickly flexes.
Bruno: Doing anything for you?
Narration: Will gives her an intense stare.
Will: Is this working?
Cora: I'll let you know later.
CHOICE: They're an odd couple
[your partner]: Yeah, I'm surprised! Maybe they'll be really good for each other. Or a total train wreck...
Player: Choo-choo, all aboard!
CHOICE: Bet you a fiver they're over tomorrow
[your partner]: Do you even have money on you?
Player: Nah, we can sort out the specifics after the summer.
Narration: Cora and Bruno/Will take their seat next to the firepit, leaving Kobi, Juliet, and Angie standing.
Juliet: I could really use some luck right about now...
Narration: Her phone pings.
Juliet: Oh! And I got it!
Narration: Valentina rolls her eyes.
Valentina: Great...
Juliet: The boy I want to pick is one of the biggest sweethearts in here. He's kind-hearted, loving, funny... and buff. When I think of the time we've had in here, I get so emotional...
Narration: She fans at her eyes.
Juliet: I just wish I could have been in from the beginning so we would have had more time together.
Player (thinking): She must be about to say who she's picking soon.
Juliet: When I was born...
Player (thinking): Or not.
Juliet: ... my parents said I had a veil over my face.
Angie: Oh! That's an en caul birth. They're super rare.
Juliet: Exactly, it's a sign of great fortune for the baby. And being able to pick this man tonight, I can finally see it's coming true.
Valentina: Oh my goodness, get on with it.
Juliet: Ah, right, yes, so, the boy I want to couple up with tonight is… Kobi!
Narration: He beams at her and stands.
Player (thinking): Juliet coupled up with Kobi…
CHOICE: Nice one, hun
Narration: Juliet gives you a grateful smile as Kobi comes over to give her a hug.
CHOICE: That speech was a thing
[your partner]: A long thing for sure.
Narration: Juliet frowns at you as Kobi comes over to give her a hug.
CHOICE: Yeah, whatever
Narration: You pop your mouth open and widen your eyes.
Player: I'm so shocked right now.
Narration: Juliet frowns at you as Kobi comes over to give her a hug.
{alternate 1}
Narration: Angie and Valentina are the last girls left to choose. Will and Youcef remain standing. One of the girls' phone pings.
Valentina: Ah! It's me! Mine! My phone! I'm not going last!
Narration: Valentina excitedly claps her hands together.
Valentina: Right! This is gonna be short and sweet as Juliet went on for so long my feet got tired.
Valentina: I'm going to couple up with this boy because he's fit.
James: That's it?
Valentina: I told you, short and sweet.
Valentina: That's why I'm choosing James/Will.
Narration: The Islanders applaud.
Player (thinking): Valentina picked James/Will…
CHOICE: I mean, he is fit
Valentina: Right? It's a no brainer.
CHOICE: Um, congrats?
Valentina: Thanks!
CHOIC: Speech!
Valentina: No, my feet are screaming.
Narration: Valentina moves quickly towards the seat. James/Will goes to give her a hug.
Valentina: Hi, babe, yes, yes, cuddle me on the sofa, I really need to sit.
Narration: They quickly sit down. Valentina stretches her legs up and puts them on James/Will's lap.
Valentina: So much better.
Narration: Angie looks at both Youcef and Will and sighs.
Angie: On one hand, I get to decide between two incredible boys. But I'm also about to put someone at risk of being going home… I've not had the best luck in here so far, so I'm going to pick the guy I think would work best for me. The guy that I could actually see something happening with. So for that reason, the boy I'm picking tonight is...
Narration: Both Will and Youcef's expressions are unreadable.
Angie: ... Youcef.
Narration: Thabi covers her mouth in a gasp.
Najuma: Will...
Narration: Youcef comes over to give Angie a hug. Will remains standing alone. He smiles lopsidedly.
Will: Guess it's my time.
{alternate 2}
Narration: Only James remains standing. His phone beeps.
Narrator: James, as you are the last boy standing you need to pick which girl you want to couple up with.
Narration: Valentina stands up with Angie and links arms with her. She says something you can't hear. James takes a deep breath.
James: I wasn't expecting this tonight. You're both really amazing girls, and I don't want either of you to go… But I have to go with what feels right. This girl always says it like it is. She's So that's why I'm picking… Valentina.
Valentina: Oh!
Narration: Valentina throws her arms around Angie.
Angie: It's OK. It was my time.
Narration: Angie stands in front of the others. Alone.
Angie: Unless there's a new boy hiding in a bush somewhere, looks like I'm single. It's probably my time to say goodbye…
Player (thinking): Angie/Will might be getting dumped…
CHOICE: How did this happen?
Narration: Angie/Will shrugs with a laugh.
Angie/Will: No one picked me, obviously. Luck of the draw, I guess…
CHOICE: Is this goodbye?
CHOICE: Maybe you'll stay?
Angie/Will: I'm no third wheel.
Narration: Angie/Will’s phone pings.
Angie/Will: I guess this is it… Woah, what?
[your partner]: What is it? Read it out!
Narrator: Angie/Will, you've ended up single in tonight's recoupling, but this isn't the end of your time in the Villa. Tonight, the other Islanders must vote on who they think is the least compatible couple. That couple will then be dumped. As you are single, you are safe from this vote.
Angie/Will: I'm... safe?
Juliet: And now none of us are...
Player (thinking): We have to vote off the least compatible couple…
CHOICE: What if we get voted off?
[your partner]: I just hope that doesn't happen...
CHOICE: It'll be OK
Player: At least, I hope so.
CHOICE: Why's it never simple?
[your partner]: It wouldn't be the Villa if it was.
[your partner]: I guess we should go off and figure out who we want to send home...
Player: Yeah...
Narration: You look around at the others.
Kobi: Oh, man... this is gonna be tough.
Narration: Everyone slowly departs from the firepit, except Angie/Will, who just watches the flames burn. You and [your partner] take a seat on the loungers.
[your partner]: So we're deciding who to send home. Let's start with Thabi and Tom/Bruno.
Player (thinking): I think Thabi and Tom
CHOICE: ... are super compatible
[your partner]: Really? I was surprised when she chose him. But maybe she sees something in him I don't…
[your partner]: I guess the big question here is, if they do become a power couple, could that threaten us?
CHOICE: ... won't last
[your partner]: Yeah, I hear where you're coming from. But maybe Thabi will bring something out of him that we're not expecting?
[your partner]: I guess the big question here is… Do we think Tom and Thabi are the least compatible out of everyone here?
CHOICE: ... are an odd couple
[your partner]: Yeah, there's no doubt about that. But her speech made me think that there could be something there, you know? He is coming out of his shell, so maybe we'll see a better side to him?
[your partner]: I guess the big question here is… Do we think Tom and Thabi are the least compatible out of everyone here?
CHOICE: ... could be a power couple
[your partner]: I guess we'll see if they fancy each other after all.
[your partner]: I guess the big question here is, if they do become a power couple, could that threaten us?
Player (thinking): I think Thabi and Bruno…
CHOICE: … are super compatible
[your partner]: Yeah, I'm surprised they haven't got together sooner, to be honest. They're a lovely couple.
[your partner]: I guess the big question here is, if they do become a power couple, could that threaten us?
CHOICE: … won’t last
[your partner]: Really? I honestly think they're one of the strongest couples here. They've always been close mates.
[your partner]: I guess the big question here is… Do we think Bruno and Thabi are the least compatible out of everyone here?
CHOICE: … could be a power couple
[your partner]: A hundred percent, yes. They've always been super close with one another.
[your partner]: I guess the big question here is, if they do become a power couple, could that threaten us?
Player: Yeah...
[your partner]: Voting them off would mean losing Thabi. I'm not OK with that, honestly. She's only just found a guy that's right for her.
Player: So what should we do?
[your partner]: Don't worry, we don't need to vote right now. But let's make piles...
Narration: [your partner] grabs a couple of cushions and puts them in front of them.
[your partner]: One pile has the couples who we definitely don't want to leave. One pile has the ones who we might vote to leave.
[your partner]: Which one do Thabi and Tom/Bruno fall into?
Player (thinking): Do I want to put Thabi and Tom/Bruno at risk of being dumped?
CHOICE: Maybe
[your partner]: Seriously?
Player: Yes.
[your partner]: Alright, if you're sure.
Narration: [your partner] mimics dropping the couple onto the 'maybe' cushion.
CHOICE: No
[your partner]: Yeah, that seemed like a bit of a no brainer.
Narration: [your partner] mimics dropping the couple onto the 'no' cushion.
CHOICE: I pass
[your partner]: Huh, didn't think this one would be tough. Alright, you know how I feel.
Narration: [your partner] mimics dropping the couple onto the 'no' cushion.
[your partner]: Right, let's think about another couple. How about Cora and Bruno/Will?
Player (thinking): Cora and Bruno/Will...
CHOICE: ... could be trouble
[your partner]: You think? I'm not so sure. I don't see Cora sticking with him for long.
CHOICE: ... aren't gonna last
[your partner]: Yeah, I'm with you on that. Cora doesn't strike me as the sort of person who stays with anyone for too long.
CHOICE: ... are too hot to handle
[your partner]: Ha! That's true. But does that mean they'll burn up just as fast?
[your partner]: I don't know if they're the most compatible couple here. I know you and Cora and Kobi are friends...
Player (thinking): I don't know how I'd feel if Cora left...
[your partner]: Where should we put Cora and Bruno/Will?
Player (thinking): Do I want to put Bruno/Will and Cora at risk of being dumped?
CHOICE: Yes
[your partner]: Right, that's them added.
CHOICE: No
[your partner]: Yeah, they're both great.
CHOICE: I have no idea
[your partner]: This is really hard to choose.
Narration: [your partner] sighs.
[your partner]: I'm not keen on doing this… But I'm going to add them to the maybe pile.
Narration: [your partner] wipes at their brow.
[your partner]: That's two couples sorted. Let's talk about Valentina and James/Will next, then.
Player (thinking): Valentina and James/Will..
CHOICE: ... could work well
[your partner]: Agreed. They've been together before...
CHOICE: ... are weird together
[your partner]: Absolutely what I was thinking.
CHOICE: ... could be a threat
[your partner]: You think?
[your partner]: They've been together before.
[your partner]: Maybe they bring out good things in each other.
[your partner]: I could see them either crashing and burning, or becoming a potential power couple...
[your partner]: So what should we do about them?
[your partner]: I'm leaning towards the maybe pile, myself.
[your partner]: I'm leaning towards the no pile myself.
Narration: You hear laughter from somewhere nearby.
Player (thinking): Who's laughing at a time like this?
Player (thinking): Do I want to risk Valentina and James/Will going home?
CHOICE: Maybe
[your partner]: Alright, in they go.
CHOICE: No
[your partner]: Alright, in they go.
CHOICE: I'm passing
[your partner]: Well, as I said, they're going in the maybe pile.
[your partner]: Well, as I said, they're going in the no pile.
Narration: [your partner] leans back.
[your partner]: Right, let's see where we're at…
{alternate 1}
Narration: [your partner] slaps their forehead.
[your partner]: Ha, so far all three couples are in the maybe pile. We've not really made our lives any easier here.
{alternate 2}
Narration: [your partner] whistles through their teeth.
[your partner]: Two of the couples are now in the maybe pile, and only one is in the no.
{alternate 3}
[your partner]: Ah, nice one. We've only got one couple in the maybe pile. This decision doesn't look like it'll be so tough after all…
{alternate 4}
[your partner]: Oh, none of the couples so far are in the maybe pile. We might be going a little soft on them.
Narration: You look up into the clear, starry sky.
Player (thinking): This evening wasn't meant to be so complicated...
Player: So what about Najuma and Youcef?
[your partner]: They've got chemistry for sure!
Player: I could see Najuma and Youcef…
CHOICE: ... going all the way
[your partner]: Yeah, they're both gorgeous and already seem to work well together.
CHOICE: ... burning out quickly
[your partner]: It's definitely on a needle point with those two. They'll either blow up and fizzle out, or they'll end up super strong together.
CHOICE: ... being a power couple
[your partner]: Their whole vibe is very strong already… So do we dump them now to eliminate some competition?
[your partner]: I can't believe I'm saying this...
Player: Do we put Najuma and Youcef at risk of being dumped?
CHOICE: Maybe
[your partner]: Ugh, it pains me to do this as I love both of them… But I think it's the right call.
CHOICE: No
[your partner]: Thank goodness, I really didn't want to see either of them go.
CHOICE: I can't decide!
[your partner]: Yeah, this one is tough. I think they're both great people. I'm going to say...... no!
Player: So, Angie and Youcef.
[your partner]: What are they even doing together?
Player (thinking): What do I think about Angie and Youcef?
CHOICE: I don't know, I think they could work
[your partner]: Yeah, she's not settled for a single guy in here.
CHOICE: Yeah, there's no way they'll work out
[your partner]: Angie's not settled with a single partner she's had in here. I'm not sure what each of them have been missing, though? She's been with good guys, too.
CHOICE: Maybe Youcef is the guy Angie's needed?
[your partner]: Yeah, true. She's not been happy with any of the guys in here, though I can't think why. Some of them have been great!
[your partner]: Maybe Youcef will have that missing ingredient? But do we give them the time to discover that? Or do we dump them? They're not a threat, and I don't want either of them to go. So I'm leaning towards no.
Player (thinking): Let's put them in the…
CHOICE: ... maybe pile
[your partner]: It is what it is, then.
CHOICE: ... no pile
[your partner]: Good, I'm glad we're on the same wavelength.
CHOICE: ... agh, I can't decide!
[your partner]: Alright, I'm just going to go ahead and say no, then.
Narration: [your partner] exhales loudly.
[your partner]: Right, we're so nearly there.
Narration: From the corner of your eye, you notice Kobi poking his head up from the other loungers. He looks directly at you and [your partner]. Juliet's next to him. Her shoulders are hunched.
Player (thinking): Kobi's looking at me and [your partner]...
CHOICE: Wave at him
Narration: You raise your hand and wave.
CHOICE: Stick your tongue out
Narration: You playfully stick your tongue out at him.
CHOICE: Stare back
Narration: You try to lock eyes with him.
Narration: He glances back at Juliet and nods at her.
Player: Huh, what was that about?
[your partner]: What was that?
Player: It feels like Kobi and Juliet are talking about us?
[your partner]: Do you think they're planning on voting for us?
Player (thinking): Are Kobi and Juliet going to vote for us?
CHOICE: It's a coincidence
CHOICE: They'd better not!
CHOICE: He wouldn't do that to me
CHOICE: They might
[your partner]: I hope you're right. There's not much we can do about it if they do.
[your partner]: And I'm not worried. We're one of the longest standing couples...
[your partner]: But we could be in trouble. Especially as we're such a new couple...
[your partner]: OK, well, they're the last couple we need to decide on. I'm gonna be honest, I'm not convinced. I don't see them as a couple. Juliet's speech was so over-the-top, it felt like she was compensating for something.
[your partner]: When she grafted on me, it felt like she meant it.
[your partner]: And she was grafting on Will that time...
[your partner]: And if they are planning on voting for us… It might be wise to vote for them and hope the others have, too.
[your partner]: I know Kobi's your mate in here, but he might also be a threat.
[your partner]: I know it sucks, but it is what it is.
Player (thinking): Should we put Kobi and Juliet at risk of leaving?
CHOICE: Maybe
[your partner]: Yeah, this honestly feels like the easiest one for me. They just don't have a lot of chemistry.
CHOICE: I don't want that
[your partner]: If you're sure? I'd have put them in the maybe pile, but I'll go with your call.
CHOICE: I wish this wasn't happening
[your partner]: I'll take the pressure off you. I'm putting them in the maybe pile. They just don't have a lot of chemistry.
[your partner]: Alright, that's all the couples sorted. Where are we at?
Narration: [your partner] studies the cushions.
{alternate 1}
[your partner]: Damn, all five couples are in the maybe pile. This whole talk didn't help in the slightest.
{alternate 2}
[your partner]: Only one couple is in the no pile. I guess that makes our lives a little easier.
{alternate 3}
[your partner]: Three couples are in the maybe pile. That's not bad going!
{alternate 4}
[your partner]: Only two couples are in the maybe pile! Looks like we did a good job of working out who should go.
{alternate 5}
[your partner]: Only one couple is in the maybe pile… Our decision is made, then.
{alternate 6}
[your partner]: None. We didn't put a single couple into the maybe pile. We're clearly too nice a couple. But we need to put someone up, so I'm going to take the executive decision… Kobi and Juliet. I just don't think they're genuinely compatible.
Narration: You look over and see the other couples making their way back to the firepit.
[your partner]: Looks like the others have made up their minds, too. We should go and cast our vote...
Player (thinking): [your partner] and I are all alone. I could take this moment to kiss [your partner]...
Player: We could go back to the others…
CHOICE (Premium): ... or we could have a snog
[your partner]: Now that's a good distraction...
[your partner]: Just like old times… I'm so happy to be back together with you.
{insert kiss module}
CHOICE: ... and we probably should
[your partner]: Are you sure? You hesitated for a moment. Did you want to say something?
Player (thinking): This might be the only chance I get tonight to kiss [your partner]... Should I go in for the kiss?
CHOICE (Premium): I want to snog your face off
[your partner]: Now that's a good distraction...
[your partner]: Just like old times… I'm so happy to be back together with you.
{insert kiss module}
CHOICE: No, we should head off
[your partner]: Alright, if you say so. Let's go.
Narration: The two of you make your way back to the firepit. Everyone is already standing at the firepit with their phones out. The quiet is broken by a collective pings as everyone's phones go off.
Narrator: Islanders, it's now time to cast your votes on who you think is the least compatible couple. Whichever couple receives the most votes will be dumped from the Villa tonight.
Player: Alright, this is it, voting time...
[your partner]: Remember what we talked about, babe. We've got this. Whoever you pick, I've got your back...
Player (thinking): Which couple should I vote for?
CHOICE: Kobi and Juliet
CHOICE: Thabi and Tom/Bruno
CHOICE: Cora and Bruno/Will
CHOICE: Valentina and James/Will
CHOICE: Najuma and Youcef
CHOICE: Angie and Youcef
Narration: You type their names in and hit send. Soon, silence returns. The ping of everyone's phones breaks it once more.
Narrator: Islanders, the votes have been cast. The couple voted least compatible and who must leave the Villa tonight is...
Narrator: Woah, woah, woah! My intensity meter is going off the charts! It's far too tense to continue. We'll have to resume this when it's back to a safe level. I suggest in the meantime, you all go a grab some tea and biscuits, then return because… Coming up! The result of the votes are revealed, and one couple is dumped from the island...
[your partner]: This hurts...
Narrator: I'll see you there...

Multiple Character Work: an s/o Pulling them into Dancing
TW // none
This was a request by @memory-mortis , I wish I still could answer to it directly but Tumblr is a dick. Enjoy the answer hun, hope you like it! <3
Kujo Jotaro, Higashikata Josuke, Narancia Ghirga, Leone Abbacchio with an s/o who pulls them into dancing, fem!s/o
WORD COUNT: 2.3k
You felt incredibly good. The music was something you had needed for so much time, considering all the bad events that had happened lately. You kinda knew that all the eyes were on you, there was who was smiling, who was following the rythm of the music. And then there was your boyfriend.
May it be because he was tired, may it be because he was too focused on your moves. But he wasn't absolutely dancing. It was funny to finally dance after all that time. But after you had fell in love with him, you felt like dancing with him could have been even better.
If you could only convince him...
KUJO JOTARO
You approached him, with a sly smile on your face. Jotaro willingly ignored you. You were in the middle of the desert and had found a working radio which was playing good music? It all looked too weird, to him. An enemy stand user who was try to make them let their guard down? It was night, and the six of you were getting ready to sleep, after a long day. But the music was inside of you, right now.
You started dancing around, jumping around Joseph and Polnareff, who were laughing, twirling all around Kakyoin while Avdol was clapping his hands. They also looked incredibly pleased, thanks to the music. But Jotaro, your boyfriend, was a mixture between kind and shocked. He was so stressed, poor boy, and you could tell by how he was staring at the radio.
"A... A radio enemy stand which makes people go crazy..." he was mumbling, while you were getting closer to him, wanting to take his hands in yours and pulling you into dancing with you. As soon as you were close enough to be in his range of action, he suddenly summoned Star Platinum, scaring you to death. You fell on the soft desert sand, looking at him in shock.
"J-Jotaro...?" he just stood there, angrily staring at you.
"Y/n. Are you being possessed by this enemy stand?" Star Platinum was just right in front of you, as you shook your head and swallowed. The crusaders were as shocked as you were. Jotaro was too stressed. After all, his mother's life was in danger and all he could think about was defeating Dio. After he understood what was going on, his stand disappeared, and he hid his face under his black hat. "Nevermind. Sorry."
You stood up, getting closer to him again. This time, instead of grabbing his hands, you took off his hat, putting it on your own head. It was too big for you, it fell on your eyes. You smiled to him.
"It's okay, JoJo. You can never know where an enemy might be. You've been careful, and that's always good." you wrapped your arms around his torso. "I just really, really wanna dance with the boy I love." The ordinary Jotaro would have never done it, but this Jotaro, so nervous, maybe needed it.
You took him by the hand, and pulled him away from his thoughts, gently moving his arms on the rythm of the music. His hands moved directly on your waist, and you smiled. This caused a bunch of whispered comments from the others.
"Oh my god."
"Ooh la la."
Jotaro killed Joseph and Jean Pierre with his gaze, but then went back at watching you. He held you closer, and you swore you saw a smile on him.
"Didn't know you were this good at dancing." You commented, caressing his neck.
"This is not... good." Jotaro snorted. "It's just dancing, y/n."
"Mind letting me decide whether this is good or not, Kujo?" at this answer of yours, he answered with a smirk. You broke the perfect dancing pose, to hug him tight and stand on tiptoe, leaving a quick peck on his lips.
"Thank you for dancing with me, JoJo."
"How cute, a kiss~" Joseph teased his grandson.
"Oh, l'amour." Jotaro killed his grandpa and his french friend, afterwards.
HIGASHIKATA JOSUKE
The slight pain of an elbow on his arm and the sound of a raspy voice woke him up from his daydreaming. He'd never tried to go in a dance club. It was quite a mess.
"Oi Josuke." the boy huffed. "Your girlfriend over there is staring at you. She's totally hot, you should go, she looks like she wants to dance, huh Josuke?" you were, in fact, dancing around, kinda staring at him. But he was there with his best friend. You would have annoyed him, maybe?
"Okuyasu, are you hungry?" Josuke asked, staring at you from afar but talking to his bestie.
"Yes, like a lot."
"Fantastic." Josuke smirked. "I am not. How about you go eating something? Mh?" his best friend's eyes widened.
"Oooh... I understand, Josuke." unbelievable. "Have fun Josuke, okay Josuke? Bye J o s u k e e e ...."
As soon as he left, you kinda decided it was your time to shine. And he was slightly smiling, too.
"JoJo!" You approached your boyfriend wiggling your hips around - more or less like the iconic Suzi Q approaching Joseph -, and then rested your hands on his chest, right on the heart shaped unbuttoned part of his uniform. "What are you doing here all alone?"
"Ah..." Josuke tried to play the victim, to make you baby him. "My best friend said he had better things to do and left me alone..."
"Yeah, right..." you teased him and gently kissed him, ignoring the voices of jealous girls behind you who would have wanted to be you. "You don't like it here?"
"I've never been in a dance club... 's pretty chaotic."
"Yes, but the good thing is you can be yourself without getting judged. Just dance, Josuke." you grabbed the hands he was resting on your back, and brought them to your hips.
As soon as you pulled Josuke with you, not in the middle of the crowd - you still wanted your intimacy with him -, but not too far, you felt someone pushing you, making you stumble on Josuke's feet. Luckily, he caught you just in time not to make you fall. You decided not to turn around. You just smiled, pissed off.
"Who pushed me, Josuke?" the boy watched. He saw a girl, he didn't know her, though.
"Someone jealous, I think." he just answered, giggling and holding you tighter while moving with you on the music.
Nobody in the dance club saw it coming, but Josuke knew pretty well what you were doing, seeing your stand pop up behind you and punching that girl. He laughed, and that made you the happiest. "Maybe we should look surprised?" he suggested. You shook your head.
"Nah, nevermind..." your hands moved to his shoulders, and you kissed him again, while you were dancing.
The only ones to dance, to be honest. Everyone was being shocked about the girl who had been punched by your stand - nobody could see it -, and everyone's eyes were on the couple who was ignoring her. You two. Josuke blushed a little, but he had to admit that night with you in the dance club was priceless.
NARANCIA GHIRGA
You were shocked. Bucciarati had asked to put such a cute music at Libeccio's purposely for the gang to relax a bit. Even Abbacchio was quietly humming on the music. But Narancia, a known music lover and great dancer, was just sitting at the table, his fork wandering around his plate, not wanting to eat.
Probably wanting to dance, but holding back. Why was he holding back? Even you, his girlfriend, were dancing, and he was just there, almost sad looking. From afar, you gestured him into joining you, but he just tried to avoid your gaze.
You then got worried and curious about what was he thinking about, and you reached for him.
"Oi... Nara?" you kneeled down, next to his chair, and kissed him on his cheek. "Won't you join us? Won't you join me?" He looked at you. You could tell he wanted to dance, too.
"Y/n... why do you want me to dance with you?" you got a little taken aback by his question. "I'm still trying to figure out why did you choose me over someone like Bruno or Abbacchio..." your expression softened.
"I chose you over them..." you hugged him to make him stand up from the chair. "...because it's you who I like, Narancia. Very easy. And I'd rather dance once with you than a million times with them. Understood?" you kissed his forehead, cheeks and nose. He smiled shyly.
"Are you sure we can dance together, then?" Narancia asked. You noticed how Bucciarati was actually listening to your conversation. He was thinking about how to thank you later for making Narancia happy and confident about himself again.
"It's you the real dance machine, come dance wi-" you saw Aerosmith flying over your head, and as you noticed it, Narancia had already disappeared.
You turned around and saw him dancing like he had wanted to do that for hours, Aerosmith flying all around him happily, hitting the rythm of the music with its user. You immediately joined him, but you were more focused on looking at how happy he was. Narancia was your ray of sunshine, you couldn't hold back from hugging him while he was dancing, so he could lead you and do the same dance steps with you.
As you two danced together, your two stands could be seen having fun together on the rythm. Bucciarati was laughing, Giorno was happily smiling, Fugo and Abbacchio humming the music along with the radio. Mista tried to stand up to join you and Narancia, but Abbacchio grabbed his blue turtleneck, pulling him back on his chair.
You couldn't understand if it was because he didn't want another idiot to dance or if he actually wanted you and Narancia to enjoy your moment together. Trish was sitting on the table, yelling for a good cause.
"Won't we get to see a kiss between you two?"
Narancia had never felt comfortable in kissing on your lips in front of the gang, but he was so excited thanks to the music, that he just got closer to you, pressing his lips on yours. You felt your cheeks go on fire, but you were happy that Narancia was happy, too.
LEONE ABBACCHIO
Narancia and Mista were dancing, their music so loud everyone even outside could hear it, you dancing along with them. Too many times you pretended to stumble on your boyfriend's foot, slouched on the couch, with his eyes closed and his headphones on, just to get his attention. But he just ignored you.
You grew tired of waiting for Abbacchio to care about you stumbling on his foot, and just did what you knew he hated. You didn't actually do nothing weird, just sat next to him, without him noticing. The two boys who were dancing immediately understood what you wanted to do.
"Oh, Mista, try to put your hands around my waist, so we can dance better." Mista and Narancia were quietly giggling.
"Mmmm." was the only sound Abbacchio produced, angrily opening an eye, just to see you were sitting next to him, luckily without Mista's hands around you. You laughed.
"Hi, love."
"Mmm." you got closer and took off his headphones, since you were the only one who could do this without risking an immediate death. He opened both his eyes, and looked at you. Then he managed to put together two words. "What is it, amore?"
You stood up and grabbed his hands, pulling it to make him stand up. He's heavy, and won't stand up.
"Please?" you puppy eyed him, shaking his hands a little. You understood you had to use your trump card. "I would be so happy if you danced with me... Leone." he just couldn't say no, when you called him with his first name.
He huffed, standing up and blushing.
"I'm... fine with it, but... please, change the song... I like something more classical."
"Mh..." you hummed. "We getting romantic?" you just succeeded in making Abbacchio blush even more. You should thank God that you're yourself, or Leone would have scolded you several times for exposing him like this.
"Kinda." he said, as Narancia changed his music to something slower. Abbacchio posed to start dancing, and you looked at him, confused. He smirked. "You want to dance with me and don't know how to dance what I like?" Leone giggled. "This means I'll have to teach you." He put a hand on your waist, and moved a hand of yours on his shoulder.
"Try to stay closer to me... our chests have to be close, our heads don't." he said, as he guided you in your dance steps, under the amused eyes of Narancia and Mista.
"What do you mean our heads don't... what are we, Transformers?" Abbacchio snorted, smirking a little. Okay, that had been so sudden and funny, not even him could hold back a laugh.
He suddenly pulled you up and kissed you, leaving the two boys that were watching you in a complete state of shock. You caressed his cheek, and smiled in his sweet kiss. "I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure this wasn't implied in the dance step..." you whispered, smirking.
Abbacchio bit his lower lip, and smirked back. "Are you sure about this? Looks like our dancing was pretty... impressive." he gestured towards Narancia and Mista's shocked faces.
"I wouldn't mind dancing another time, would you, Leone?"
"No, I wouldn't surely mind."
