Temptation Waits Who: Juliet [narrative] Where: her room When: just before midnight
Juliet was beginning to feel that being brought here might just be the best thing that had ever happened to her. While it was true that she had no real autonomy, couldn't model or see friends or go to different cities, states or even countries, it was so much better than what she'd been dealing with in jail. There were people to talk to, manipulate, make dance to her tune if she could. And now there was the message she'd received along with two others. It was right up her alley.
We require that you create tension within the house. How you do this is up to you. Should you choose to openly sow discord, or quietly identify and exploit weaknesses, you may employ any strategy you see fit. In return, we will supply you with special information. We will grant you private access to the camera feeds, as well as the ability to read private messages between the other subjects. If necessary, we will even offer you special luxuries in payment for your services.
Creating tension and discord, exploiting weaknesses. It was exactly what she'd been doing from the time she'd been a young teenager. To possibly be rewarded for it was much more than she'd ever expected. She'd been happy and intrigued all day long from the moment she'd opened the message and read it. This was going to be perfect. Juliet always appreciated a challenge, especially one that could be quite beneficial to her.
She was ready for bed now, dressed in her silky robe, and from the drawer of her bedside table she pulled a shiny red apple she'd gotten from the kitchen earlier. There'd never been any question about whether or not she'd accept. She padded across the room to her computer desk, which was white and designed along the same lines as her night table, dresser and armoire, and set the apple down on it next to her computer monitor. Proceeding to her bed, she switched off the one bedside lamp that had been left on and took off the robe, draping it over the end of her bed and climbing beneath the covers.
Settling in, Juliet turned her face toward the nearest camera and murmured, "Thank you."
Completely content now, she shut her eyes and waited for sleep.
