It is now day 23. The location is currently at the Garage. Time is 3:00PM.
Decker was performing some skate tricks using the wooden ramps, which he managed to talk someone into helping him move out of the garage a day or so ago and positioned them exactly where he wanted the ramps to be.
"Yowza!" Decker shouts as he landed the impossible skate trick before doing a boardslide on one of the ramps. "It feels great to be doing skate tricks! I'll be ranking up those points in no time!"

"Daaamn, that was ace, Deck!" Rosemary cheered as she strode over to him with a bright smile on her face.
"Tony Hawk ain't got anything on you, mate. That was impressive. You been doin' this long?"

"Oh!" Decker exclaimed in surprise. "I have no idea I have an audience present and they loved the performance I just put."
The skater slowed to a halt before he kicks up his board.
"Yo, Rosie!" He acknowledged her presence. "And did you just called me... Deck? ... Well, I'm totally cool with ya calling me Deck!" He gives a thumb-up in approval.
And then Rosemary asked Decker if he have been doing this for a long time.
"I suppose you could say that; been skating since I was a kid." The young man nods as he sits on the nearby ramp. "See, it was my older brothers, Percy and Cole, that got me into skateboarding."
"So, what's a dudette like ya got onto the show in the first place? You got a talent or something?" Decker asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare ya. I just heard you and decided to check it out."
Rosemary smiled, crossed her arms, and leaned on a nearby tree.
"Ooh, nice. Didn't know you had brothers. You guys must've been thick as thieves for you to be inspired by 'em, eh?"
She smiled at the thought, and at Decker's question, she nodded.
"You bet I do. I'm an actress. I've been in a few bit roles here and there, had a few roles as mooks in action movies and shows, though I did land the lead role in a pretty low budget remake of the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie. That was fun as shit to film, and hey, critics liked my performance. And I also like to sing and play some riffs on the side, too."
Her smiled wavered a bit.
"Thought this show could be exactly what I needed to get my name out there and follow in my folks' footsteps, but no one expected the caveat of a bloody killing game, I'm sure..."

"We were thick as thieves, yes..." Decker responded somberly and feeling nostalgia, "Until they started working at my Pop's law firm. After that, they just... lost interest in skateboarding."
"And my sister, Melody isn't exactly interested in skateboarding... Something about how she thinks it's for dudes...? Like c'mon, she haven't seen a female skater in person!" He lets out a exasperated sigh. "I mean, isn't there a female skater who have the same stardom as that Tony Hawk fellow?"
Then Rosemary reveals what her talent is.
"Oooooh, a actress! Must've been a hell ton of work to do to get to where you are now." He made a gesture of punching the air. "Following in your parents' footsteps, eh? I guess that you do your own thing and I do my own thing." He gave a shrug of his shoulders.
"Still, to think that this game reality show would turns into this... hot mess." The young man shakes his head. "Sorry, it's just... I try to not think about the inevitable job I would have to do if I lose. Would completely destroys the point of being a free man, if you get my drift, yeah?"

"Damn, that sucks to hear... Hopefully they're doin' well at the firm, though."
Rosemary smiled and listened quietly as Decker spoke, chuckling a bit.
"Eh, your sister not being into it ain't bad. People like what they like. I'm into watching skateboarding, but I don't exactly want to try it myself. Nothin' against it, but I just don't think I'm... built for it, I guess."
She nodded in response.
"You got it. I've actually been acting since I was... well, before I even turned one. My parents had a show of their own and I was born during the second season. I grew up doing that show until, well..."
Her usual smile turned downward into a small frown.
"A, uh, fire hit the set. I was away at the time, but the cast and crew weren't so lucky. Including my mum and dad. But hey, I was taken in by their friends, so all's well that ends well, yeah?"
She smiled again, though at Decker's words, she solemnly nodded.
"No need to apologize, mate. I get it. If I'm being honest, I'm... trying to find a way out. Some loophole in the contract or the rules, just... some fuckin' way we can escape without anyone else dying or anyone... basically being enslaved. God, if I get my hands on any of those fuckin' producers of this show..."

Decker think about what Rosemary said regarding his sister before he nods.
"Mmmm, you may be right about my sister." He shifts around in his position to make himself comfortable.
When Rosemary revealed what happened to her parents, the skater put his hands up to his mouth, a look of shock on his face.
"Oh, that's really terrible! Sorry to hear that you have to lose your parents that way." He said with an sad look. "At the very least, you're lucky that your parents have friends who were able to take you into their care."
"Yeah, I agree with ya about the hot mess we have got ourselves into, Rosie." He nods in agreement with Rosemary. "If I have known what I'd be getting myself into, I would have said no and moved on with my life. Guess there's no use lamenting about what happened..."

"'Preciate it. I've made peace with it long ago, trust me, but somethin' like that... it never stops hurting. I just lucked out by having someone willing and able to take me in."
Rosemary solemnly nodded, though she did perk up a bit at the nickname she heard.
"Rosie, eh? Heh, I like it."
She rubbed the back of her head before beginning to idly twirl a lock of her blue hair.
"Yeah, though I'm pretty sure the same could be said for everyone else here. I doubt anyone would've willingly signed off on this if they knew what would happen if they lost. Fuuuck, I hope to god that there's at least some people protesting this..."
