Gundam Sports Story Chapter 1

It is the year 0086 of the Universal Century. Nearly an entire century has passed since Earth began moving its burgeoning population into gigantic orbiting space colonies. A new home for mankind, where people are born and raised. And die. 5 years ago, the cluster of colonies furthest from the Earth, called Side 3, proclaimed itself the Duchy of Zeon and launched a war of independence against the Earth Federation. Initial fighting lasted over one month and saw both sides lose half their respective populations. People were horrified by the indescribable atrocities that had been committed in the name of independence. Eight months had passed since the rebellion began. They were at a stalemate. Then thanks to the brave men and women of the Earths Federation, Zeon was beaten back, their hold on the earth, and the colonies surrounding it, shrunk, and grew smaller every day. Until finally, the Archduke of Zeon, died in a surprise attack he was not aware of, leaving his own son Gihren Zabi in charge of the duchy. He too fell in battle. Within days after Gihrens death, an armistice was signed, and peace was established in the earths sphere. however. The weapons that won this war, the mobile suits, had proliferated far and wide, their powerful helium fusion engines were capable of great things, some retrofitted to power full factories, and ships that flew further and further out into the stars. However, as at the end of the last great war, when Britain and its allies had trained thousands of men to fly, there was suddenly a love of flying, now here in the universal century there too arose a love, a love of mobile suits. Thus sport leagues grew up near and far, as derelict mobile suits, and military surplus found their way onto the civilian market. Everything from racing, boxing, and even great feats of acrobatics soon found themselves being proformed by giant, metallic bodies.  One such league was the MSMMAA, the mobile suit mixed martial arts association. Every year, there is a great tournament where countries vie for glory, honor, and the right to claim that they can produce the best mobile suit pilots in the earths sphere.  This tournament is called the MSMMAA Earths Sphere Grand Prix.

______________________________________________________________

A great Scramjet flies high above the clouds, a Japanese flag and the Canon logo emblazoned on its side. Inside we see a woman, her hair cut short, reddish brown in color, wearing a red sport jacket, with a Canon logo on the right chest pocket. Beside her is another woman, older, reading off statistics. “so last weeks match only netted us 76 million viewers, we can do better than that, and the sponsors are counting on us to pump those numbers up, we don’t need to worry about repair costs, Canons contract with us promises they will cover repairs, planet side transport, and basic salaries, but we are relying on gatoraid and Yamaha to pay for any hotel fees, colonial transport, and any increase in the staffs bottom line.” “okay, so what do you suggest we do Milly? We tried feigning issues with the suit and stalling for time until later in the night when more colonial viewers are watching last year, and neither tactic worked….and before you suggest it, I wont do what the EU team did to Maya last year, having her come out in some skimpy form fitting normal suit. Just embarrassing.” The woman in the Canon jacket sighed, taking a sip from a blue bottle of gatoraid as she did so.

“well whats something that makes you unique, maybe we could capitalize on it in battle, your Newtype abilities maybe? I know we usually don’t try to showcase those too much because you say it can be quite draining in combat, but perhaps?” Milly said jotting down the idea on her yellow office pad

“well…..its not the worst idea, stage some real close calls, pull out at the last second….it will be really exhausting but we only have a handful of matches left of qualifying, and then 2 weeks off before the tournament actually begins, for me to recover…Im not a huge fan of it long term, but maybe something like that could secure more viewers before then…not bad Milly” “well, Cat, that’s why you pay me the big bucks” Milly said as she folded her note pad up and walked out of that room of the Scramjet, as she walked through the door, Cats husband Ryu was just walking in. Ryu was a nice man, a bit younger than Cat, she had just turned 30 a month ago in March, and Ryu was just about to turn 27. He was well kept, a bit portly thanks to the lavish life style his wife had brought him these last few years, and soft spoken. “I just got Ohm to bed, he never wants to settle down when we’re on these things” he said as he sat beside her, grabbing her drink and taking a swig of it. “I swear to you, they change the flavoring or something to that every time we fly, it tastes so gross up here” he said handing it back to her. Cat lauged “its bitter, its just because we’re so high up and travelling so fast, the blood in our tounge isn’t where it usually is….stuff tastes different” she said taking another drink

“I bet you taste the same” Ryu joked leaning in to kiss her the world rushed by behind them

The scramjet was travelling at 95,000 feet, at nearly mach 4. They were flying home to Tonosho, a town in Kagawa Japan. Cat, short for Catalyst had emigrated to earth just after the war. She was born on Side 4’s Moore Colony, and was working as an accountant there when Zeons forces attacked. She said she didn’t remember how she survived, just that during the commotion a federation saberfish fighter jet crash landed near her, and the pilot blew the hatch before falling out of it, she doesn’t remember why but she jumped inside and sealed the hatch. She says that day is when she realized her abilities weren’t just good luck and good intuition like she had always believed. She felt someone elses movements in her head, she saw someone turning the ship back on, and piloting it out of the colony. She let the sensation take over, and she escaped the colony unscaithed. The image of the giant pink monoeye of the zakus haunted her nightmares for months after that. after piloting the ship out of side 4, she was picked up in the thunderbolt debris field by the battleship Halifax, and after they looked her over and listened to what she said happened, she was shipped back to jaburo. They did scans of her brain, and put her through days and days of psychological evaluations. They told her she was going to be conscripted into a prototype Newtype Combat Corps that the federation was putting together, along side the famous Operation V Gun Fighters who had lead the federation vanguard in so many battles during the war. Luckily for her, the week before she was to be shipped out, jaburo was attacked, and she fled in the chaos. She eventually found herself in Coqueiral, and fell in with another group of deserters, one of which was Ryu, who had been working as a data analyst for the federation, when after the siege of jaburo he was to be conscripted as a soldier as well, said they were going to put him in a Ball, and throw him at the enemy if need be. He wasn’t ready for that, and he ran, like so many others from the underground bunker.

So how did they both get here, flying on a corporate scramjet, millionaires, in a mobile suit fighting league? Well it all started in Japan in the summer of 0082

  Chapter 1 – the summer of 82

Catalyst and Ryu were able to take advantage of the chaos on earth that followed zeons surrender at A baeu qu and bribed their way onto an international flight to japan out of Peru. Some of Ryus family still lived there, those who hadn’t immigrated to Side 7 back in the 70s. His Aunt and Uncle were able to find them a small apartment in Tokyo. They gave them a tiny bit of money to get a start, but they were still deserters from the federation military, and even though the federation government had largely allowed most of the surviving countries on earth to try to rebuild by themselves if they wanted to, there still were federation military bases all over, and though the Republic of Japans government had tried its best to keep the federation out, they were still present here and there. So finding jobs was proving very difficult. Soon however, as the heat of the Japanese summer made itself known, Catalyst and Ryu found themselves pregnant, and the idea of trying to raise a child on the run, with no money, and no future, proved too much for them to bare.                Catalyst decided that she would go to the Japanese government and see if there was any way they could help them. She figured the worst they would do is threaten contact the federation and have them deported, at which point they would just start the running and hiding process again. While there they asked why she deported, the Japanese weren’t big fans of the federation, and didn’t want to give them over if there was no reason too. Handing over a pregnant woman to the federation to be executed for desertion wouldn’t sit well with any moral person. She explained she didn’t want her newtype gifts to be taken advantage of, she didn’t want to kill, she didn’t believe the zeon were totally wrong, that though their actions were vile, their goal of spacenoid independence was valiant, and that the actions of the federation were no better, though the Federation had never launched a colony at Australia like Zeon did, they did destroy dozens of side 3 colonies during the early days of the war, and during the final weeks after A beau qu, ultimately driving the Duchy out of their home on Munzo, and to a colony out by Mars known as Axial.

               The man she spoke to, was a senator for the Tokyo arm of the  Social Democratic party, he had served in the 210th airborn division and fought in the battle of Newyork. He agreed with her that the actions he had seen during those days didn’t paint the federation or zeon in the best light, bombing their own people to prevent the zeon from capturing strategic targets, flooding the subways, to prevent their use as bomb shelters by the zeon, even though hundreds of thousands of people, of federation people were using them as bomb shelters when the flood waters came. He offered her an out. The Japanese government had recently signed onto the MSMMAA, and needed a pilot. The pilots who represent their countries bypass many federation laws, and cannot be persecuted by any government save their own. A rule put in place to prevent jailing a fighter to avoid the outcome of a match.  They didn’t have the financial resources of places like Brazil, the Greater European Union, China or the Kievan Federation, let alone sides that had been untouched by the war like side 1 or side 6. Japan needed a leg up, an ace up its sleeve, and a newtype with nothing left to lose seemed like just the ticket.  

               So she joined the Republic of Japans Mobile Suit Team. She signed on as the fighter for the Canon team, Canon, thanks to the backing of the government, were able to purchase a decent starter suit for her, a RGM-79GS GM Space Command Type. It had been used in the defense of side 6 during the tail end of the war and its right arm had been torn off by a Gelgoog. Canon was able to purchase replacement parts and have it shipped to japan for de-armament and modification per the MSMMAA regulations.  

               The MSMMAA had strict regulations for what could and could not compete in the tournaments, the suit had to be salvaged, or army surplus. Its VIN number must indicate it was produced before June 15th 0081 Earth Standard. The reactor in the suit, cannot exceed +200KW of the primary suits requirements for 1G standard operation thus an acguy is limited to a max of 2069kw and a 1st gen GM cannot exceed 1449kw. The primary suit is defined as a suit which makes up at least 30% of the parts of any one mobile suit, if a suit is made up of so much scrap that its parent suit cannot be determined it will be limited by the most common suit in its weight class.                All guns must be removed from the suit in such a way as to prevent them from ever functioning again, and beam weaponry must have their I field generator removed and capped.                Additionally, Minovski scrubbers must be put in place to prevent pollution of minovski particles on earth, the moon or any other body designated as a special combat location per MSMMAA guidelines.

The Gm commander arrived in Tokyo bay on july 15th of 0082 and Catalyst and Ryu were there to greet it, along with a team of 10 who in the coming months and years would become some of her best friends. There were her body guards Ballet and Fyo, former night club bouncers. Milly, Catalysts marketing liaison, Dyrik Masters, the head of mechanical engineering and fabrication, and his team of 5 Linos, Kai, Rita, Suzette and Sanchez, and lastly, Her coach Lt. Tenneth Jung, the federations Ace of Aces, who had left the force at the end of the war, and had decided to move into mobile suit combat training as it paid substantially better.  As soon as the GM was floated off its barge and onto the Samson mobile suit carrier, Dyrik and his team went to work looking over it. It turns out that who ever Canon hired out to replace the arm had done an awful job, and most of the joints were going to need replaced, and to fix any balancing issue with the other arm, they would have to replace the balancers on the other arm just to compensate, the legs were  in good shape, but the joints in them were in bad shape, hadn’t been oiled in at least a year, and the space use oils they had used hadn’t been switched out once coming earthside and were largely clogged with sand and salt, resulting on fairly heavy corrosion all around.

 Upon getting the suit back to their headquarters, a mobile suit hanger that Canon had purchased, they strung the suit up to see just what all was going to need to be done. Tenneth had her and Ryu follow him to the pilot lift. And lifted all three of them right up to the cockpit of the GM.

               “so tell me, Catalyst, do you have experience piloting mobile suits at all? From what I read of your record it seems like you’ve only flown saberfish and a few commercial planes here earthside.”                She nodded “it’s Cat by the way, only my parents and police call me catalyst” she leaned into the cockpit, a feeling of ice shot through her mind, as she felt hands moving around the cockpit, the pedals moving in tandem, the arms lifting and dropping, menus racing past.  “it shouldn’t matter too much, im a real quick learner, haven’t really ever had to read a manual or have someone show me how to do much of anything in life” she said as she lifted herself up over the railing to the pilot lift, and jumped into the cockpit, Ryu reaching out after her as she did so.                “ah yes, there was that in your notes too….very strong newtype abilities, rivalling that of the great Terra Stormrider the Gundam Ace and Char Aznable the red comet.” He said as he leaned across so that his upper body rested just above the main control panel “but newtype abilities can only get you so far, a lot of piloting these things is knowing what they can do, knowing when you can use the weight from one part to swing another ya know.” Cat nodded again as she flipped a few switches on the main control panel to turn the GM on, put into service mode so she could look over a few things while the mechanic team went about tearing into the GM’s guts and fixing the damage that the machine had sustained thus far in its life.                “I respect your point of view on Newtypes Mr. Jung, our abilities are hard to understand. The main abilities that I have been able to manifest are foreknowledge and a physical 6th sense, I can feel something is about to happen before it happens, and when I see something new, I can usually feel someone else moving through it, and learn how to operate it by following those sensations. I think you being here is how I can comprehend what all of this does. I probably should actually get a manual on how to operate all of this, probably isn’t going to be as easy as Book keeping.” She laughed as she slid her finger across the touch screen display on the main console, the GMs readout scrolled past, a lot of the sensors were reading null or error.                “well Cat, I’m sure we can find some old manual here for you, though I think this suit is going to end up pretty heavily tailored towards what you’re comfortable with before all said and done. This cockpit has to be modified if memory serves, padding and what not added…guess athletes need a bit more protection than some flyboy like yours truly.  Then, we needa figure out what sorta fighting style you’ll be wanting it to conform to, if youre wanting to fight with swords, axes, just the fists etc. MSMMAA doesn’t have ton of rules about what weapons can and cant be used as long as their temp doesn’t exceed 3000 degrees F, and aren’t beam or bullets….we’ll get you sorted out Cat, with your Newtype abilities, and my know how of these dang GM’s we’ll win you that championship belt.

Episode 4: “cutthroat kitchen but make it sex” - Owen

As episode four hit, it was time for a swap! The swap tribes were a Cahaya majority on NuCahaya and an Obor majority on NuObor, with Stoner sent to exile!

On NuCahaya, Owen finally had his dream of getting to work with some newbies, namely Lorelei/Leigh/Chris O & remained sceptical of Foxx. On NuObor, Trent/Anabel ingratiated themselves with the returnees, leaving Dylan vulnerable on the tribe. 

In the music video challenge, despite some... upsetting banana moments that should never be spoken of again, NuCahaya snatched up immunity! At NuObor’s tribal, under threat of rocks, the tribe settled on a consensus of Kenny. 

At tribal, the original Obor majority was squandered, with Kenny sent out unanimously, and Stoner taking his place on the tribe. With that, a totally untwisted and simple round was what faced the Indonesia players next!

LORELEI

I hate the swap

LEIGH

Not a tribe swap! Ahh!  At least I ended up with good people from my tribe, and we have Owen who I bonded with when he visited.  Foxx, I played with him in my first ORG in 2017.  I voted him out.  But Chris blindsided him then even worse.  I'm HOPING Foxx doesn't hold a grudge.  But even if he doesn't hold a grudge, he could still be aware of what a strong player I have been in some of my past games.  That makes me nervous.  But oh well, we'll see what happens.

DYLAN

So far im glad that i got put with Annabel and Trent as I feel they both trust me, especially Annabel. I feel i connected well with Jess and Olivia when they were infurtrators so all though I'm in minority in terms of tribe vs tribe I think im still in a good spot. but holy fuck my tribe is actually annoying the shit out of me. Theyre acting like this music video is rocket science or like they have to build the fucking 97th wonder of the world. Pick a fucking song. If you want a theme pick a fucking theme. Its not that hard. JUST FUCKING PICK SOMETHING

OLIVIA

Back to trusting Jess again! And I’m with Isaac 😍 and Michael who is cool too. I like the newbies we’re with they’re literally the only three i talked to lol

ANABEL

https://youtu.be/8hqf5okhUtM

FOXX

So everyone gets super paranoid before Tribal and tries to change the plan. I’m telling everyone to remain calm and lo and behold everything is just peachy and Julian leaves, although not especially gracefully. Considering the circumstances, though, can hardly blame the dude. New tribe consists of Kenny and Lorelei, as well as Leigh and Chris. I actually met Leigh in an unrelated Facebook game and we talked a bit. She didn’t have the nicest things to say about me on my way out but that’s neither here nor there! :’) And we swap! And we’re fucked! Matt, Owen, & myself are against four Obors, completely outmatched. However! We have the Infiltrator Twist at our disposal. If we don’t win next immunity, we can hope the infiltrators are in fact ex-original Cahaya. My plan is if they do in fact come from Cahaya we have them vote with us three and force a tie. With a 4-4 tie we can go to rocks. However! Since the person with votes is safe on a rock draw only two former Cahayas are drawing rocks and three former Obor draw rocks meaning we have a 60% chance of us not getting eliminated. It’s definitely not doomsday and if that plan works it’ll be the Outfoxx of the uh...first four episodes? Whatever. Frankly I’d rathercwin the challenge and get over it.

TRENT

Well. I guess swap could have gone worse. But going in without the majority is not ideal.  Luckily, I already know Jess and Olivia because they were infiltrators and we talked a pretty decent amount. Luckily I went with Anabel, who I know has an idol, and dylan who i have a pretty decent relationship. I've talked to jess quiet a bit and being pretty open with her trying to show that I trust her and I think shes doing the same. She's claiming to now want to make it about Newbies vs Returnees, which if true could help us a lot. My plan is to keep working jess as much as I can the next few days, to the point that she trusts me talking mostly about IRL stuff and not talking about game much at all. I THINK i can make her flip if we lose, I have a plan and I already know what I'm going to say, I just can't guarantee it will work.

MICHAEL

OLIVIA

Sooooo I have to edit the video which is gonna be stressful af but I’ve done it before and it turned out amazing but I accidentally deleted everything an hour before it was due and the hosts wouldn’t give an extension so that was rough and I’m scared of that happening again lol. It’s great to be here with Jess and Isaac but I don’t think she trusts him like I do and I think on the call last night we were too friendly and probably revealed to her that we’re close which I was hoping to keep on the down low since I’m in two other alliances that he’s not a part of lol but hopefully she thought it was generic friendly chatter. I really like Jess she’s super cool and I’m glad to be here with her. Michael is also a sweetheart and I’m glad he’s here like he seems trustworthy and this is a good opportunity for us to get to chat more hopefully? We all agree Trent is a bit blunt and slightly odd putting because of that but he’s cool to talk to. Dylan is on vacation, of course, so I’ve only talked to him a little bit? Anabelle (idk how she spells it sorry) is pretty cool but a bit of a depressed crackhead like she def wants to fuck serial killers which I know is trendy but concerning. Again, hella nervous for editing but hopefully if it turns out well we’ll win and if we don’t win but the edit is still good I’m safe lol. 

FOXX

Tribe swap. Minority. No idol. This is like Psychological BDSM with no safe word. Kinky! I’m trying to be as friendly as possible and help with the challenge because I really, really don’t want to go to tribal like this. I have solid relationships with Leigh and I even played with Chris O. in another ORG, which he won. He’s a really good social player. We’re doing a Destiny’s Child song because ORGers don’t know any artists that aren’t Beyonce but tbh I’m ok with anything as long as I can prove my worth and loyalty to my new tribemates. I didn’t come out of retirement to get Swapfucked. Just gotta be cunning and charming. If only there was a thing - maybe even an animal - that exemplified those traits. Like a tapir. Yeah, gotta outtapir people.

So I burned my dignity in effigy for this challenge so I hope we have enough to muster up a win but I’m nervous as hell. As a backup I’m trying to talk one-on-one with my new tribemates so they might be inclined to keep me. Thoughts so far: Kenny: Both gamers so we have stuff to talk about  and he seems like a real nice dude but he’s also a bit inactive. Leigh: Hilarious. She’s very likable and easy to get along with. Lorelei: Has so much energy and good at conversation. Chris: Very sweet but I can definitely tell he’s good at buttering people up. I would prefer to not have to turn on Owen or Matt because they’re great dudes who worked their ass off in this game but I really need to keep my options open. Better to live with guile than die with honor.

MICHAEL

OLIVIA

Every time I’m in Japanese class and someone says domo arigato I have to physically restrain myself from saying mr roboto. Also these results can’t come fast enough. I worked my ass off on this video as did everyone else and I hope the judges see that :(

JESS

*Channel her inner Lizzo* Why is Trent always freaking trying to call me? Woo! I just took a DNA test, turns out I'm 100% crackhead Even when I’m really not a target Yeah, I got alliance problems, that’s the crackhead in me Bling Bling, now I’m paranoid, that’s the virgo in me. You could had a chill game, just a little Help you with your jury management, kinda simple You’re supposed to calm it down, but you ain’t doing that And that’s the sound of you having a panic attack Why is Trent always freaking trying to call me? Stop texting me, unless you got some real tea. No new friends, I don’t really really care. Shampoo press, pulling out all my hair. Fresh wounds, with another tribal. New enemies, probably need a bible. Truth hurts, this is giving me more anxiety. Bom bom bi dom bi dum bum bay Now I’m stuck again In a weird position Got two alliances, going head to head. Hey I’m glad, you’re back with number one I mean why you gotta tell me this? I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever be your returnee chick I put the paraaaaaaaa in paranoid. Always worried about everything, I’m kind annoyed. So you can tell your friend “Jess is probably really losing it” It’s Okay, they probably already knew it. Why is Trent always freaking trying to call me? Stop texting me, unless you got some real tea. No new friends, I don’t really really care. Shampoo press, pulling out all my hair. Fresh wounds, with another tribal. New enemies, probably need a bible. Truth hurts, this is giving me more anxiety. Bom bom bi dom bi dum bum bay Now let’s side track for a minute. (yeah yeah) Got returnees and newbies in this. We don’t fuck with ties, it’s probably all lies We just keep on bullshitting like aye vi vi I bet you Chris Stoner has an idol (yeah yeah) This game has got me homicidal We don’t fuck with ties, it’s probably all lies We just keep on bullshitting like aye vi vi Why is Trent always freaking trying to call me? Stop texting me, unless you got some real tea. No new friends, I don’t really really care. Shampoo press, pulling out all my hair. Fresh wounds, with another tribal. New enemies, probably need a bible. Truth hurts, this is giving me more anxiety. Bom bom bi dom bi dum bum bay

So tribe swap finally happened. I'm actually okay with my tribe? Trent was the one newbie I really "connected" with on the newbie tribe when I "infiltrated". Anabel so far seems cool but I already can tell this girl is going to be a BEAST in this game. She's pretty, charming, and you can tell she has more than my two brain cells combined times 1000. Dylan is.................... something else. I honestly have no idea. He could be an easy push under the bus if we lose? I'm also just here waiting for the results of probably the most NERVE WRACKING challenge of my life. Why you ask? Well if my tribe loses this challenge I'm going to be forced to show my hand way tooo early in this game. I somehow positioned myself right in the middle of the vets and the newbies. On one side I have Olivia, Michael, and Isaac. On the other I have Dylan, Trent, and Anabel. Us losing LITERALLY will force me to pick a side I will probably ride with until merge. The safer move would be obviously to stick with the returnees if they give me no reason to doubt them before this potential tribal (I'm not too confident in this video). However, the SMARTER move may be to take out a returnee who will be threatening down the line. Let's just pray to Katy Perry we did her justice and won't be seeing tribal. xoxoxoxo gossip girl.

LEIGH

Soooo I filmed 4 different bits for that music video and only one was used. I'm a little irritated about that because it doesn't reflect the level of effort I put into it.  Also cuz I slightly bruised myself when I dramatically fell taking off a sweater, and I really hoped that would be respected. Oh well. I know how much content I filmed, at least. And editing it must have been tricky.

I feel like since the majority of what was included was the lip syncing (though everyone slayed it!), the message was lost and now the bits of people falling over don't really make sense. I think the judges won't get what we were going for.

CHRIS O

i just realized that with the intruder twist it's pretty likely the vote will be 4-4 and uhhhhh im a scared boi plz someone help me

LORELEI

I'm very nervous about the music video results. I really hope we win, if we don't I may be going home because I didn't want to film myself because of personal reasons. I'm very scared. For the music video, it's a very tough challenge because I know that the people on the other tribe are very creative and talented, Anabel is a singer and loves to perform, Dylan is a rapper, Jess and olivia seemed creative. There's a very high chance that they'll win. But I really hope that my tribe does. We really need this win. I really need this win if I want to stay in the competition. 

MATT

heyo friends.  So we voted Julian’s ass out and that’s alright with me!!!!     Unfortunately i predicted a swap was happening after tribal and i was correct (boo!). The results came out, and Owen, Foxx, and myself are in the minority on the NuObor tribe. At first look, you would think we’re fucked, but i think we have a good chance to survive.  I think the three of us are totally willing to stick together, so it’s just a matter of convincing one to flip.  owen feels confident about flipping someone.  And if worst comes to worst, we throw foxx under the bus, and try to survive another round.  HOWEVER foxx brought to my attention that if we lose, the infiltrators twist is still in effect. So if we lose, the OG Cahaya tribe still has majority on the other tribe, which means they can vote in 2 of us and send them over our way.  That way we can at least force a tie, and force rocks.  I think i would go to rocks for both owen and foxx. Owen and i have become good allies and foxx is a really cool dude.  i do wanna tru and go far with them if we make it out of here

LEIGH

Wow. What the fuck did I say? I included 4 fucking scenes and he CUT THEM OUT.  And I got called useless and 0? How fucking embarrassing.  Jesus christ.  We agreed on a theme for the video-- and nothing with the theme was included.  Awesome.

KENNY

I do feel bad and feel like i might be in danger but 1. Oboe has majority on this tribe and 2. I feel like I have a pretty good connection with most. And after I say that, I’ll most likely go this round. These hoes ain’t loyal.

OLIVIA

😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 Jones’ mom 🤬 The other judges 🥰😘

LEIGH

I really hope this wasn't on purpose. If it turns out it was, that's so fucked up to me.  Literally sabotage.  And if it were an honest mistake, then that's at least a bit better.  Although I LITERALLY put the idea in the chat that "We can put the fails in the beginning, and put the successful clips at the end" and Foxx agreed.  I literally gave out ideas, I filmed, I did everything I needed to do and now no one will even know it.

LMAOOOO IM A FUCKIN MESSSS ok so i like confirmed with leigh/chris before we lost tht we wouldnt vote each other out. i rlly rlly like them, and lorelei. more than I like talking to foxx/matt/most ppl from my tribe. I love matt, but he's not the best at bein social apparently and for some fucking reason foxx is. chris + foxx were bonding hella in the tribe chat tonight which made me MAD. first foxx has to snatch chris/jess/olivia, now chris o???? BYEEEE not gonna lie, I irrationally want so badly to vote foxx out this round. i dont feel comfy with him in the game even though I'm pretty sure he'd work with me for now. and I want to make myself build trust with leigh/lorelai/chris o. But I rlly think they're gonna want to vote matt... :((( luckily the infiltrators came and I think rn we're gonna vote kenny bc they'll be least likely to  keep him around + he didnt submit???? so if they vote matt and we ote kenny it's 4-4 and then....rocks....? ill tell u rn, my ass isn't drawing a rock. idc if they vote for foxx or for matt, im not drawing. so I guess best case scenario is they flip on kenny, but second best is they vote foxx and I flip and vote foxx out.... but even then, that's stressful I called with chris and basically told him this. I maybe shouldnt have said that I'd flip on foxx bc now im paranoid he'll go tell foxx and get the votes on me.... but idk. he said he wouldnt mind flipping on kenny but he's worried about next round if chris comes and we have majority, which i rlly dont blame him for. but if kenny goes, i promise im not voting for lorelei/leigh/chris o next round xoxoxo ideally chris o/leigh/myself could start some s ort of alliance. I wish they liked matt so the four of us could get one going... idk. maybe chris could be pulled in??? i dont wanna be in that foursome with foxx bc eventually im gonna write foxx's name down unless im out first faskjdfhkdsjf IDK WHY IM SO PRESSED ABOUT FOXX. I like him as a person like it isnt personally i think im rlly just still mad he got into an alliance and I didnt LMAOOOO also sometimes he uses big words will my messiness bite me in the ass? prob :P but itll be fun anyways

Well, I've calmed down, like I do.  I tend to react at a 10 and then come back down.  It's why my social game sucks so much sometimes.  I don't believe I was set up. It was probably an oversight.  Being embarrassed is like the one emotion that really sets me off. I always want to come across as smart and confident and important.  So when I'm told I am useless, and all people saw me for is a dog pulling me over, it's really embarrassing.  It makes me feel vulnerable and I don't like it.  And when I feel vulnerable, I snap and get mad as a defense mechanism.  It's shitty of me.  I'll apologize to Matt, because he deserves it.  Hopefully I didn't torpedo my chances with my temper but if I did, that wouldn't surprise me hahaha and I would've done it to myself.  I'm hoping people will just look at my little freak out and say "At least she's honest".......

The challenge was frankly not even close. It really hurts to go from a tribe of overachievers to a tribe that loses more challenges. I genuinely like everyone on my tribe. I think frankly I get along *better* with this group than the Cahayas. But I still think I need to secure myself a place in the merge. I was so bummed to lose the challenge but Michael, not unlike Gandalf at the Battle of Helm’s Deep, arrives *precisely* when he means to completely onboard with my plan before I say a word. The plan is to have Chris/Michael, Owen, Matt, & your plucky vulpine friend vote for Kenny. He’s relatively inactive, didn’t help much in the challenge, and has received a vote  at both tribals he attended. Once again, I genuinely like the dude but he’s the most logical target. Leigh & Chris, whom I’ve bonded the most with, have told me they have no plans to vote for me and you know I 100% believe them. Their target is Matt. The goal is to set a tie and it’d be Leigh, myself, Chris, Lorelei, & Owen drawing rocks.  They have a 60% chance of going how and I don’t think they’re willing to do it to spare Kenny. It’s Alliance Chicken and our car is smaller but it has less damage. Stoner will be joining the tribe which means I 100% will have another Cahaya in our side but I had to explain to him, “No Stoner. You aren’t on the tribe yet. No, Stoner. You and Michael don’t each have a vote.” He’s a riot and a half as well as a badass player but he really does live up to the name. The fact there’s an alliance of guys named Foxx & Stoner is just. I can’t take it. It’s too stupid to be true but too ridiculous to be made. God...sometimes the world is good. I really don’t want anyone to leave. I like everyone here. No one here *deserves* to leave. But I gotta use my brain and not let someone cut my throat because I was too nice to get to them first.

LEIGH

I talked to matt and he was super nice and understanding. I'm aware I went off the handle and was a complete bitch in my other confessional and for someone who doesn't like to be embarrassed, well, it was pretty embarrassing.

MATT

we fucking lost the challenge.  and it’s upsetting, but while i was editing the video i kinda figured we would anyway.  Only Owen and Chris sent videos of the actual song, and then i recorded a whole bunch of filler material.  Foxx and Leigh only sent me b-roll footage, lorelei sent the voice over for the beginning of the video, and kenny did jack shit.   Losing the challenge is one thing and i can handle that,  but when Leigh starts ranting in the tribe chat about how her entire 90 seconds didn’t make the cut, and how her feelings are hurt and how it should’ve been edited better and yada yada ya, it pisses me the fuck off. like i’m literally the only one who could edit the damn thing .  Lorelei said she might be able to, but had limited time, so i stepped up to the plate and did it.  If you didn’t fucking like it, then you can fucking edit it next time.  How dare I try to edit together these crappy videos into a decent music video.  Like fuck off.   On top of that, apparently my name is already floating around as a potential vote...like why?  Because the other tribe doesn’t wanna respond to me?  Because i wasted my time editing a losing video? because why the fuck not?  it pisses me off.  Luckily for me, Michael and Stoner are here as infiltrators, and can help us at least tie the vote.  We’re planning on getting them to flip on the revote, if not, we go to rocks.  If we go to rocks, only 2 of us draw compared to 3 of them.  it’s a big risk, but it’s one i think we need to take.  If the rocks don’t go in our favor, and Foxx or Owen leave, i die next round anyway.  So fingers crossed this round goes well.

I don’t like this. I don’t want to vote anyone out. The plan still seems to be planning to vote Kenny and get someone to flip on a tie. Leigh & Chris are the most likely candidates imo. Frankly they proposed an alliance of those two, Owen, & myself and I’m super into it but I need to make sure an Obor goes home so it can happen. I’m trying to convince Michael throwing challenges on Cahaya is a good idea so we can keep the majority on both tribes especially since he sees Anabel as a social threat. If that happens I can keep my strong relationships with Chris, Leigh, & Lorelei intact without having to turn on them or the Cahayas. I’m playing well; I just need to not get reckless and drink the Big Movez Kool-Aid. This is the most stressful night of the game.

KENNY

I’ve been avoided like the plague today, by even my old tribe mates. Lmao. I’m 90% sure it’s me but we’ll see.

LEIGH

Unless people are bamboozling me, Kenny is the vote.  Today I joined forces with Foxx and Owen, I believe.  Along with me and Chris.  So hopefully it works out.  I jutst took another hit and am full of alfredo so I aint got much to say that'll make sense

Voting Kenny sucks and is sad though cuz I'm a liar to him now and I haven't lied yet I don't think
