Kyle come back in only to find the lights are out, "What's going on in here? Why are all the lights out." As he came in Tyler came back to the kitchen walking with a slight limp "Some stupid big brother shit how come this season big brother is just taking stuff away I know last season was a boom but lets not try to spice shit up like this."

Gretchen giggles and throws a towel at Reuben playfully." I just want our options to be open."

"All good in the Hood for me main man,pay pay?" She asks Payton in her own version of his speak. " Same here. Lights out? Time to go outside and play. And pray to God someone doesn't stick you with a screwdriver. " She tells him while bumping into him with her hip. She produces a bottle and starts chugging it. "May as well pass the time, right? " She offers her bottle to him.

Gretchen raises her hand for tati." Me. I've never known the touch of a man or woman." She says this very seriously.

Reuben laughs and grabs the towel that Gretchen throws at him. He flings it over his shoulder while taking Tatiana's remark into account about them already knowing he is a virgin. "So...it is that obvious, huh?" He laughs and looks out the patio doors, seeing Payton sitting in the outside area. Reuben has the sudden urge to throw his cousin into the pool.

Nina decided to follow payton outside. With no power,it was getting stuffy in the house. ",C'mon Gretchen. Let's go outside. I'll bring the booze." She says matter of factly. Outside she sits in the grass by the pool.

Gretchen skips outside,still holding the kitchen knife. She's seen too many horror movies that start like this. She sits far away from the pool. " Nina,I'd sit far away from the pool. If someone secretly had sex in there...the filters aren't running...nobody likes secondhand semen."

Njna shrugs to Gretchen,"it's not that bad,love. Until it gets cold.".

Gretchen​s sharply looks up,"what?!"

Nina lifts her head,"mm? Oh, nothing"

Nina look at Payton and laughs loudly in the dark."we stay lit,love." She raises her fist for a bump.

Gretchen finally has to ask Payton. " I notice that an enhanced cigarette. You think I'm a delicate flower? " She says with a mischievous giggle.

Nina grins at Payton. It was dark so he may not see. But it was a good gesture to do. " You up for that naked arm wrestle,love? I'm thinking I could pencil​ you in Saturday. My schedule is slammed. Just slammed until then." She says in an exasperated tone.

Gretchen reaches up to to take it. " Oh I just thought you left me out beforehand. Like I was too innocent like Sabina." She takes a respectable hit and passes it back to Payton. Giving a little nod,she finally exhales. " Oh that's what the doc ordered. Whee!"

Reuben makes his way over to the pool area where a few people are sitting. Rather than make his way to them, he stops at the edge of the pool and signs for Payton to come over to him alone. Payton learned how to sign and understand it at a young age for the benefit of his cousin. It seems urgent.

"Payton..." Reuben says in a quiet voice, fanning his hand to gesture his cousin to come in close. He looks around the garden and then turns his attention back to Payton. He leans in, as if he's about to whisper something. Suddenly, Reuben places both hands on Payton's chest and pushes him backwards into the pool. Reuben starts to laugh heartily while pointing at his cousin who fell for it. "Your face!"

"Aaahhhhhh!!!!!" Reuben yells hysterically as he darts across the garden in the dark. For health and safety reasons, Big Brother turned on the patio floors lights but the place was still pretty dark in comparison to what it usually. Reuben is a much faster runner than his cousin but with limited space, there's only so far he can go before stumbling into an object or person, giving Payton time to catch up. "You not do nothing, cuzzo!!" he says with a laugh.

Having not smoke his whole life leading up until yesterday, Reuben definitely was a faster runner because he had great stamina and speed. Payton was very fast too but no where near his cousin considering he's a smoker. With the lights coming back on it was easier for Payton to see. He carefully moves up to Reuben as he runs, like some sort of predator and he corners his cousin. "IMMMMA GECHUUUUU" he says. As Reuben starts running, Payton continues running too. Payton surprisingly catches up to Reuben! He knows that he can't pick him up as he's bigger than him, but instead he tackles him down in a spear and they go fly onto the ground. "HAHAHAHH....PUNK!" Payton says trying to grab his cousins head in a headlock.
