Mackenzie Barlow | 18 | FC: Emily Browning | Open
Their relationship:
When Mackenzie first met Landon, the new kid, she just knew it was fate. They bumped into each other and as her many books fell from her arms, it was as if something inside her snapped and the wedding bells in her head just began ringing harmoniously. Ever since then, Mackenzie has always had this crush on the ever mysterious Landon Hart. She did everything she could to get closer to him and, by luck, she succeeded. The two became wonderful friends easily. Their friendship was the kind that went through every single phase possible. It went through the early awkward stage, the more-like-siblings-than-friends stage, and, of course, the friends with benefits stage. One phase it didn’t go through, however, is the one where they both fall in love with each other. For Mackenzie, it was love at first sight. But for Landon, it was simply a great friendship.
The Connection:
As a part of the Barlow family, Mackenzie grew up unable to take no for an answer. And even from Landon, she never has gotten a rejection or denial. She’s never told him about her feelings, anyway. Things get rough when he tells her that he’s leaving the country, though.
For so many years now, the two have been absolutely inseparable. Though Mackenzie was quite the popular student and was chased around by a lot of guys, her eyes were only for Landon. She followed him wherever he went. She joined clubs he was a member of. She started eating lunch with him instead of her other friends. She became the outcast among her group of friends while she and Landon soared to the top of the food chain together. And it was all for the sake of her so-called love. Landon, on the other hand, has barely noticed this.
Mackenzie did her research and quickly convinced Landon to put her name in as his Connection. Things were going well. She gets to visit him in the House of Eovi once a week and they’re still quite the inseparable couple. But what happens when Mackenzie realizes that Landon is slowly falling for someone else? A contestant, no less. Will Mackenzie be able to resist her urges and let Landon be happy? Or will she sneak inside the House one night and simply rip the other girl’s head off? Figuratively, of course.
Room B2: Landon Hart and Matt McHenry
How they get along:
Landon and Matt didn’t need to learn to get along. The two’s friendship simply kicked off so easily and effortlessly. From their favourite sports team to their favourite book, Landon and Matt shared quite a lot of their interests. Even in girls. So when both also fall for the same girl inside the House of Eovi, things get more than just a little awkward between the two. Will one be able to let go and forgive the other or will things continue to go downhill for Landon and Matt’s friendship?
Usual scenario between the two: Betting on random things
The sun shone high in the sky and the birds chirped every two seconds or so. The day was beautiful, and yet Landon and Matt was found inside the House, having breakfast in front of the TV.
“I bet I can finish my cereal faster than you can finish three glasses of orange juice,” challenged Landon, already raising a spoonful of Trix to his lips. Matt immediately reached out and grabbed the bowl of cereal from his roommate, shaking his head. “No way, man. That’s not a very fair bet,” he said.
Landon laughed and took his cereal back, then poured more milk into it. “You’re just scared that I’ll kick your arse,” he said smugly. Matt rolled his eyes and took a bite from his sandwich. “Shut up. I bet you can’t go a day without saying something like bloody hell or blimey,” retaliated Matt, mocking Landon’s accent. The two only laughed for a while, but made a deal of it anyway.
Landon Hart | 19 | “The Loud Covert” | FC: Max Irons | Open
Landon is the type of guy you would expect to see sitting in a corner by the window, taking pictures of the view down below. Then you’ll find him at the center of a party, showing everyone how to have a good time. Landon’s charismatic and mysterious, but has a soft, creative side. He can be a bit quiet sometimes, but he is never one to back out of a prank war. Most times, he’s even the one who proposes the prank war. He’s fun to talk to and can be absolutely hilarious, but also dislikes meaningless conversations and is a bit of a heart breaker. Girls never simply give up, though, and Landon’s gotten used to that. What he hasn’t gotten used to, however, is the accent of everyone around him.
All his life, Landon has lived in the UK, bathed in luxury passed onto him by his late parents. For some reason, however, Landon finds himself inside the House of Eovi seeking the comfort only a true family and friends could provide. Yes, his nanny was a wonderful person, but there were things that simply can’t be shared with her. Like his lack of a love life, for one.
Almost three years have passed since the plane crash that killed Landon’s parents and younger sister, but his heart still wrenches whenever he thinks about them. He avoids even talking about them now. Can anyone be able to break through Landon’s sarcastic demeanor and teach him to listen to his heart?
Why did you apply for the House of Eovi? I had nothing else to do anyway.
What do you want to gain from the House of Eovi? Entertainment, perhaps.
->Landon’s secret: He longs for love.
Elizabeth Rowe | 19 | FC: Carly Rae Jepsen | Open
Their relationship:
Ever since they were freshmen, Matt’s always had this crush on Elizabeth. He was a transfer and one look at Elizabeth, he knew. Transferring was definitely a good decision. Plus, it was about time that he moved one from his last breakup and just ask this beautiful brunette out. Little did he know that a worse heartbreak awaited him.
Elizabeth never loved Matt. In fact, she’s always thought he was too clingy. But he was cute, so she kept him around. Plus, he was a bit of a heartthrob among her group of her friends. She loved the attention that being with him gave her. She loved the gifts he would shower her with. She loved that feeling that so many other girls would die to be with Matt, but he chose her. She loved it all. Matt, himself, though… Elizabeth would much rather talk about homework than her feelings for her lover. She just didn’t like him. Period.
Two years and seven months after Elizabeth first officialized their relationship, Matt found himself simply staring at the wall in his room. Elizabeth broke up with him. And she did it over the phone. He could even hear the voice of another guy telling Elizabeth to hang up already. Matt felt like shit. He’s been hearing rumours about Elizabeth cheating on him, but he never believed any of them. His love for her blinded him. But he was done now. He didn’t long for revenge or anything of the sort, but he needed to leave. And leave he did.
The Connection:
Elizabeth has no insecurities, emotionally-scarring secrets, or anything of the likes. She’s simply a bitch. She’s beautiful, and she knows exactly how to use that to her advantage. As a kid, she competed in pageants. She always won. She’s part of a financially blessed family, and she sure isn’t a hypocrite with her opinions about money. Elizabeth has always known what she wanted. Frankness has always been one of her favourite weapons. She’s always lived a simple, no-nonsense life. She might be a bitch, but she definitely does not deny it. Being fake has never been Elizabeth’s thing.
All this changes when she finds out that Matt was accepted as a contestant in the House of Eovi. Regret flooded her whole being. Had she not broken up with him, she would most definitely have been his first choice as his Connection. It would’ve been instant and certain fame for Elizabeth. But as it turned out, Matt didn’t put a name in the blank space next to ‘Connection’ in his application form. It was her chance. She contacted the producer and made sure she would get to be Matt’s Connection. And, of course, she got exactly that. She is Elizabet Rowe, after all. Elizabeth Rowe always gets what she wants.
Some stuff you need to know:
The task for the last week was messaging the main about how you want your Connection to be like.
We need a volunteer to help run the scrapbook. Preferably, someone with experience running that kind of blogs.
I love how when one person reblogs a picture of their face claim, everybody else does so, too. You guys are like dominos.
That is all.
Welcome, one and all, to the House of Eovi, a reality TV show where twenty contestants are shipped off to one of the many mansions of the illustrious celebrity, Amelia Sara Eovi.
Inside the House, the contestants will spend six months getting to know each other, completing tasks, and even doing chores, while being filmed by hidden cameras. Every week, they are obliged to submit a video diary to the supervisors about how they are finding life inside the House so far. By the end of six months, every one of them, including three supervisors & ten connections, will vote on who they think deserves the astounding prizes most.
Everything seems easy enough. Until it isn’t.
Will you take the challenge of Eovi’s?
—————
As mentioned above, twenty lucky contestants were chosen by Madam Eovi herself and a few other important people.
Now, it is quite evident that most of the contestants aren’t exactly the most stable people around. Being locked up in a house with twenty of them surely won’t be very easy. It’s crystal clear that each of them definitely need an emotional anchor of a sort; someone familiar that they can easily call when things get rough; someone they trust. This is the reason that in the application form that the contestants were given to answer during their auditions, there was a space for someone that the producers could contact if anything goes wrong. These people are to be referred to as Connections.
Every reality show needs rules, certainly. And where there are rules, there are people who enforce them. Only two houses away from the House of Eovi itself is the house for the supervisors. Here, four people, who were also handpicked by Madam Eovi, will stay for the duration of six months. There aren’t very many rules, but will it really be so easy to make sure that a bunch of perplexed teenagers don’t wreck one of Madam Eovi’s mansions?
-Currently on a female ban.-

Aiden Kovalic | 17 | “Sergeant Sarcastic” | FC: Francisco Lachowski | Open
Aiden tends to be very sarcastic. While his friends find him hilarious for this, his teachers find it annoying. But they’ve gotten used to his snappy replies by now. Having Aiden answer a question properly is quite the rare sight. He’s overly sarcastic, possessive, and impatient, but underneath all that is someone so much lovable. Aiden can be caring, resourceful, and is also quite the generous guy. He always puts other people’s needs before his. But, of course, his endearing side tends to be less noticeable because of the way he speaks.
Unlike most, however, Aiden’s brother is absolutely convinced that Aiden has to change his brusque ways before he turns eighteen or he gets kicked out of their little apartment. He only has four months to do so and, knowing that his brother never backs out of a promise, he thought that he might as well start looking for a new place to stay now. He couldn’t go back to his parents in Brazil, of course. He still had to finish his studies and his parents would only kill him if they got word of how badly he was doing. So he decided to enter the House of Eovi and win some cash. He might even become famous if he gets lucky, and surely he’d have a place to crash once that happens.
Why did you apply for the House of Eovi? Because I needed the money, obviously. And a place to stay.
What do you want to gain from the House of Eovi? Money, money, money.
->Aiden’s secret: He got a girl pregnant once, but she had a miscarriage before the baby was even two months old.
Room F1: Hailey Heffernan and Alisa Stowe
How they get along:
In the House, Alisa is quite naturally nice to everybody. Unlike the people back in her school, nobody was so desperate to please her. She liked that. Everybody else had their own thing going on and nobody paid much attention to her or her background. Then she meets Hailey. It’s not that Alisa hated Hailey immediately upon first encounter, but there was simply something about the girl that she didn’t like. Sometimes Hailey seems so innocent, then the next thing you know, her true colour starts shining through cracks and she turns into a heartless bitch.
Hailey, on the other hand, likes Alisa. She liked how the other girl could turn into a obnoxious little pixie as easily as she could, too. It was apparent that Alisa didn’t feel the same way about her, though. But this just makes Hailey want to befriend her even more. This, of course, annoys Alisa even more, too.
Usual scenario between the two: One-sided fun
Throwing her shirt to the other side of the room, Hailey got ready for bed in only her underwear. She didn’t exactly see it either, but she knew Alisa just rolled her eyes. It was a bit low of her to like annoying the other girl so much, but she just liked it. She didn’t have a specific reason why. “Aren’t you going to bed yet?” she asked, purposely just walking around their room in her bra and panties to make Alisa uncomfortable.
“I don’t feel like it yet,” says Alisa. Her eyes didn’t leave the book she was reading, but she wasn’t even reading anymore. All she could think about was how amazing it would be if she could just switch roommates. Hailey was hard to predict and Alisa didn’t like not knowing things. In fact, it annoyed her. And Alisa just couldn’t tell if Hailey knew this and is deliberately agitating her or if she just doesn’t know. Alisa bets it’s the former, though.
“Well, I’ll have to go ahead of you and get some beauty sleep, then,” Hailey said as she sauntered back towards her bed. “Not that I need it, of course,” she said with a wink and a short giggle before burying herself under the covers.
