(https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=308599.msg15114224#msg15114224)<br/><strong>Age:</strong>26<br/><strong>Sexuality:</strong>Straight<br/><strong>Hometown:</strong>North Versailles, Pennsylvania<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>5 July, 2019 | Late Morning<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Outdoor dining area<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Grey cotton t-shirt, black shorts, white running shoes<br/><strong>Coupled with:</strong>None<br/><strong>Tagging: </strong>Katie, Logan, Dominika, James, Gwen, Open<br/><br/><hr/><br/>He took Katie’s corrections gracefully.  It was only afterwards that the blond man realized that he had been pranked.  No wonder his friend’s family smiled like there was some kind of inside involving his nickname.  There totally was!  Oh, he was going to pay them back and revenge was going to be sweet.  Jon wasn’t sure what he was going to do yet but he was going to get them back good.  At least, Katie had gotten some amusement out of the whole thing.<br/><br/>He mimicked the American Sign Language user and ran his index and middle finger down his nose and saying, “Funny,” The big man closed his eyes and repeated it three more times, intent on memorizing it before adding before opening his eyes again, “Okay.  I think I got it.”<br/><br/>The extrovert laughed without reservation when Katie said she wasn’t a webcam girl.  "That's cool."  Without realizing it, he was already lowering his guard despite Dom still being nearby.  It was a good thing that the goofball wasn’t paying attention.  He would probably burst into metaphorical flames if he heard someone getting propositioned within earshot.<br/><br/>The image she caught on her phone was one of him transitioning from a wide smile to an expression of surprise when she kissed him.  The large man flushed afterwards.  His hand reached up to the side of his face where Katie kissed him.  A goofy smile formed on his face as he scratched the side of his scruffy chin.  Sometimes, he forgot they were on a dating show.  The goofball wasn’t used to being hit on.  First Dom and now Katie.  Then again, they might just be the flirtatious type.  At least she didn’t come on as strongly as the other girl.  He wasn’t sure how he could handle it if every woman on Love Island was like that.  Then again, Jon had been told that he wasn't good at reading a girl's signals.  The outgoing man took a couple gulps from his water bottle before setting it down next to his feet.<br/><br/>“Yeah, I might be up for a visit.  Where do you go to school?” His friends scattered to different places after graduating high school and college.  The extravert still managed to keep in touch with many of them.  Depending on where she was, it wasn’t out of the realm of possibility to potentially see her.  It slowly dawned on him that maintaining contact with after the show was going to be a challenge for any of them especially those from different countries.<br/><br/>“I don’t know if eggs with ketchup is necessarily a Midwestern thing.  I’m not sure when I started eating eggs with ketchup but I’m not the only one.  Some of my sisters and one of my friends do too,” Thinking on it, he did also recall a couple of people that were weirded out when he did the same thing in front of them, “I was born and raised in Pennsylvania.  I’m 26 so I guess I’m kinda old,” The big man playfully bumped his shoulder against hers, “Only a couple of my friends from my graduating class have kids though.” It hadn’t occurred to him how odd it was that he made friends with different ages or backgrounds.<br/><br/>The blond man admitted, “I’m not sure why I’m here.  I first signed up on a whim after my friends told me how much a train wreck it would be if I got onto a reality show,” When he got accepted, he decided to do it for his sister, “I’m not really sure what the perfect girl for me would be.  I mean, I see some people who have been together for years or decades.  My parents are happy together.  I want what they have.  Who knows, maybe one day, I’ll find someone like that.” His smile dimmed when he remembered his ex telling him that he would die pathetic and alone.  Forcing the memory away, he added, “I like trying new things and meeting new people.  My mom says that strangers are just friends that you haven’t met yet.  And I tend to agree with that idea.”<br/><br/>In a rare moment of insight, Jon Arc realized that might not be the most romantic thing to say to a pretty girl.  Unfortunately, it wasn't like the guy was very smooth when it came to this kind of thing.  So, he decided to change the subject and<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">sign again.</div><div class="spoiler_body">I…like…talking.  I…like…spending time…with you.  I like…</div></div>He maintained eye contact since he remembered that was supposed to be important for ASL.  This time, the blue-eyed guy didn’t say it out loud though he was still mouthing it as he tried to remember how to sign the words he wanted to use.  He was even slower than before since he mostly did sign language with a small kid.  Not much of it was applicable to holding a conversation with a grown up.  Another part of the issue was that the kid also used home signs, personal signs that were used only with him or his parents.  Jon couldn’t remember how to sign ‘write.’  Finally, he gave up on elaborating his other interests and just finished<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">signing</div><div class="spoiler_body">You.  I like you.</div></div>It might have been cheesy but that never stopped him.<br/><br/>He realized that he had been speaking almost exclusively with Katie for the past minute or two.  The nursing student had been really easy to talk to. But he wasn't being a good host to the others.  It can be forgiven that Jon unnecessarily took on that role despite not being in charge.  He took a look at his phone to be reminded of the other guy's name before taking a picture of the blond girl that just arrived.  Jon was curious whether she was new too or whether she had been here like James.<br/><br/>"Hi.  Don't mind me.  Just taking everybody's picture.  This is Katie.  I'm Jon.  Those two," He trailed off when he noticed that Dom and Logan seemed to be getting caught up in their own conversation, "I'll introduce them to you when they have a moment.  So what about you two?  Where are you from?  What do you do?  How long have you been on Love Island?" Even though it was the name of the show, it felt weird to call the place Love Island out loud, "Any idea on what this place is actually called?"
