<em>Brett, In the dining room with the rest. </em><br/><br/>Brett did not even try to hide the chuckle as the pie hit the wall and the pretty Asian woman got up to start cleaning it up. Then she dropped the bomb further on the group - pointedly addressing the elephant in the room on this whole project. He like that, he decided...just as he knew her shy and uncomfortable manner was going to prove all sorts of fun to pick apart.<br/><br/>His fellow engineer however seemed to to react far more cool...almost cold, to his admissions. Interesting. She was also already drawing her goals out specifically - and making certain the group knew it was about the ‘deeper connections’ not the professional grade orgy.<br/><br/>And then he turned his focus back on Carver, the man who seemed to know more about that sort of connection between multiple people. He had family experience growing up, Jenna was the only one who’d tried a permanent adult relationship, Brook seemed to be in dire need social interaction, and then there was himself. The only one, it seemed, with a record for non-monogamous sex. And he was the bad boy complication of the piece! Inwardly he clapped in appreciation for the program directors. They really picked some winners for this one. This should be a hell of a show!<br/><br/>Brett opened with that thought, “Too bad they aren't filming this shit. We seem to make up about the most odd mix one can get.” He chuckled and shrugged. “But yeah, now that it’s thrown out there, I’ll toss my name into the hat for trying this whole complicated sex thing. I mean really there are only a few likely outcomes when you stop to think about it. One, we don’t get along at all, and this becomes a very bad joke on all of us. Two, we tend to pair off somewhat...which seems like a failure on that portion of the experiment, though is useful data. Three, we all share and share alike with a slew of feelings for one another that will likely defy conventional description. Who knows what it will be. As for first days go, I’m excited. I’m interested by each of you. How it works with more developed feelings and interactions...I don’t know. Maybe that’s why I am most excited to be here. I’ve done just about everything this experiment could call for - except for caring deeply about who I woke up next to.”<br/><br/>He refilled his wine glass and stood up, “I don’t blame her for anything mind you, so please don’t get that impression, but Mum, to this day, goes through lovers like I do cell phones.” He chuckled, “My one technological weakness, I break those damned things constantly. I love the fact there are none up here! Anyway, stable family unit...just never been on my radar. Folks tell me its worth seeking. I guess we’ll all find out. It makes me wonder if they have a parallel experiment in some other remote vacation spot, playing this game with married folks. If so, my bet is on us. Couples parties always lead to drama.”<br/><br/>He nodded toward Jenna, and spoke to Carver, “I was going to recommend we kill the rest of the wine and play spin the bottle or something, but it seems we have one lovely lady already calling it a night, and another excitable enough to redecorate with pie. Guess we both play the gentleman tonight and tuck the lass’s in? Then maybe sit and chat, and give the girls time to gossip about us?”
