[i][u]Red Winston[/u][/i]

After CTF was over, Red returned to the locker rooms. After a quick bath and a change of clothes, he headed for the lounge. He had an appointment with Deborah after all. Of course, he was still concerned about what happened before the CTF and was not sure of how she and her friend, Shannon would be thinking about him right now. Maybe there it created a rift in their alliance, but, on the other hand, Deborah could probably see that there was more than meets the eye in what he said. Not that he wanted to discuss it if he could avoid it. The situation made him anxious, so he decided to go for a smoke before he found the others. Changing his direction to outside, he rolled a cigarette in an isolated spot, smoked it quickly and then rushed back.

There was quite the commotion inside. Apparently, everyone had already gathered inside, but he wasn't going to check if anyone was actually missing. His main objective was to find Deborah and it was fairly easy. She was playing pool with someone Red didn't meet yet. From the way Deborah was playing and the other man was teaching her, it didn't take much to understand what was going on. The guy was trying to approach Deborah, maybe to hit on her. Shannon was there too, talking to someone else Red didn't know, but the way she was looking at the two players made Red wonder. It was like she was disturbed with a stranger being nearby Deborah, but maybe it was because she didn't like that some stranger was so casual around her good friend. Red approached the group, even though he hated commotions. He would prefer to talk to Deborah and Shannon alone, but then again, you can't always have what you want.

"Hello, Deborah! I hope I am not interrupting something! After all, I was a little late for our appointment!" he introduced himself in the conversation.

He watched the game closely, ultimately deciding that it was a fairly easy one. It was all about calculations of angles and rotation of the ball. Red would probably excel at pool if he tried it, but he wasn't the type to show off, especially in front of a stranger. Although he wanted the game to end quickly, he decided to wait and not disturb Deborah. Talking to Shannon was out of the question, too. He was too hesitant to engage in a conversation, since he didn't know her reaction to their last meeting.

"I can wait for your game to end, so take your time! We can talk as soon as you finish!"

[i][u]Victoria LaRouse & Christopher Fox[/u][/i]

Victoria headed to the lounge after a small jog and a bath. She would always take a jog after an activity. It was relaxing her. The lounge was packed. Many people were around, some of them, she never met before. That was the problem with this school. Anyone could come at any given time, so Victoria never had a set list of people she wanted to challenge. 

She entered the lounge looking for her beloved one, but Henry was not around. It made Victoria pissed off. He goes off somewhere and he doesn't even invite her. Then she remembered about him inviting her to the jungle expedition he had and she missed it because of the jog. She wanted to hit herself so hard for forgetting it, but kept the urge because she didn't want to be made a fool of in the lounge. She would look for Henry in the jungle, but she didn't have the slightest idea as to where to look for him. She could handle herself with wild animals, but she didn't have the slightest clue about wandering through the jungle.She wanted to talk to someone, but didn't know who. Instead, she sat in a couch when a man approached her.

It was Chris, who was also late to come to the lounge, because he had to take things slowly with his body in this weakened state. He saw Victoria sitting over there and he remembered that she was the one who challenged Adam straight. This fact alone, was enough to make Chris amused with the girl. He sat on the couch with her and extended his sole arm for a handshake.

"Hello, miss! I am Christopher Fox! I saw you challenging Adam before and I was quite surprised. I just wanted to meet the person who was bold enough to challenge someone as powerful as him!"

Victoria didn't expect someone to talk to her so soon after she arrived at the lounge. With no other option in hand, she shaked hands with Chris and replied:

"I am Victoria LaRouse! It's nice to meet you!"

Victoria was not annoyed at all with Chris' missing arm and looked him straight in the eyes, which made him feel comfortable around her. With that, the two began their conversation.
