This was an awesome day. Krzysztof got accepted into the show, and even explored some of the mansion he'd be living in. Now, it was time for him to get into his room, see where'd he be sleeping. He went into the hallway his room was in (after one failed guess), but, when he was close to the door to there, the door connecting the hallway and the main area opened. He turned around, curious as to who that might be. What he saw was a man in red shirt and red eyes. Red was Kris' favourite colour, so he liked the dude already. The man was the Ultimate Baker, or well, the Aspiring Ultimate Baker. His name was...
"Nero, is it? Hey, how're ya doing?" Kris greeted Nero with a smile on his face, and walked up to him. He then looked at the door the Baker was about to enter. "Hey, looks like we're gonna live at one wing, aren't we? That's nice."
It might be nice to get to know more of the people (and more of the competition) better. And besides, it's just nice to talk to people. There's not only that. Krzysztof never had the opportunity to taste Nero's cookies at the backstage.

Good Meals, Good Friends, Good Laughs, Good Murders, What more could anyone want? Nero was glad to see Krzysztof Wilk talking to him as he walked into the hallway. He really hadn't had much of a chance to talk to people one on one in the backstage, since they had to get ready for the stage as well.
“Hello Krzysztof, it's good to see you! It seems that we're going to be living in the same hall, I hope that we get along." said Nero with a smile. It was always a good idea to get along with neighbors, and besides. Krzys seemed like a good enough person, and he couldn't say that he wasn't interested in his talent.
"Though, I must ask, would you be interested in going to the kitchen sometime later with me? I've noticed that you were among the people who didn't try my baking. I'd love to introduce you to my cooking." asked Nero. Not as many people went for his cookies as he would have liked. Maybe it was the stress of not knowing whether they would go in the show or not, or maybe it was the knowledge that going for them would be showing some sort of sign of weakness, but now that they were here he had to prove himself to them. Besides, the kitchen was well equipped; albeit a bit cramped.
"It'd be a waste to let the kitchen go to waste afterall."

Nero seemed like a pleasant person. Has a badass name too. And, there was one thing that impressed Kris particularly. You see…
“My name. The way you said it is actually very close to how it’s said. Spot on almost. So far, only Dorothy was better, and languages are her thing. Nice.” Krzysztof said and clapped. “I’m going to hit you up with some tongue twisters later.” The results would either be impressive or hilarious. Either way it’d be a win for Kris.
Nero then brought up his cookies. Now, Kris was the guy to care about his weight. Not his health, not his looks, but his weight. The key to acceleration is power to weight ratio. The key to handling is grip to weight ratio. It’d be a shame if both tanked just because the driver did not watch his diet. Then again, baking is Nero’s thing. He is an Ultimate for that very reason. Not only does it mean it has to be good, it’d plainly be a dickish move to refuse to try some of his baked goods. “Yeah, I’ll go with you sometime. You got here for a reason and it’d be a pleasure to taste that reason” He said (very wittily, if you ask Kris himself.)
“What do you think of this place, by the way?”

Good Meals, Good Friends, Good Laughs, Good Murders, What more could anyone want? Nero thought for a few moments before answering. It was certainly an interesting place for a Game Show, but in all honesty, it seemed off. It just felt weird. Though in honesty, he was probably just nervous. After all, the whole world was looking on them for hope.
“I suppose I can't complain about anything. It seems like the rooms have more than enough space for us, and as long as I can work with the kitchen well, I can't complain." responded Nero with a concentrated look on his face. It felt off, but as long as he could showcase his talent, then he'd be fine.
"Though, thinking about it, it seems that a few people are going to be quite disadvantaged in this mansion. After all, I imagine it'll be difficult for an Aspiring Ultimate Stuntman to showcase his talent in a mansion, as opposed to a Therapist or Baker. What do you think?" questioned Nero as he looked upon Krzys, curious for his response.

Kris was not afraid of disadvantage he was at. After all, he was Krzysztof Wilk, the best of them all. “Stunt driving goes together with a certain attitude. An attitude of informed fearlessness. It’s not throwing yourself into danger with no regard for it. It’s more like knowing the danger and getting into it knowing the odds. Either you get in the job with that mindset already, or you get it quickly on the job. I think that sort of attitude could help me with challenges and offset the disadvantage I have”
Thinking about it, it was very nice of Nero to be concerned about Kris’ chances to show off his skills. And, thinking about it more, there were contestants that were less fortunate. “I’d worry about Shiro or Nox more. I haven’t witnessed a single computer in this place, and they would pretty much need one to do their thing, right?”
There should be more topics to discuss… How ‘bout…
“… I couldn't help but read some of the mini-bios of the people here and have noticed where you are from. I never was in Lil’ Venice,” Kris said. There was never enough time to visit other sectors. He continued, “how’s life in there?” He was curious about that. “Isn’t it cumbersome to get to places with those canals?” For all the smog that was in Little Hong Kong, Kris could not really imagine living in a place without any roads whatsoever. But hey, that was just him.

Good Meals, Good Friends, Good Laughs, Good Murders, What more could anyone want? Nero took a moment to think about it as Krzys asked him. Really, he hadn't given it much thought, since generally he lived there ever since the establishment of the Sectors all those year ago, and he really hadn't traveled at all, due to a focus on his shop. In all likelyhood, the other Ultimates were in a similar situation, so it'd be natural for anyone to be curious.
"Well, it's interesting to say the very least. It's good weather year round, never cold. Though that makes it tough when we travel to other sectors, since we're used to a minimum of 80 degree weather days year round. Otherwise, can't complain about that." said Nero. It had been a bit chilly for his taste in the mansion, but he'll get used to it.
"Anyhow, for the roads and the like, I'd have to say you'll never get a gig in Lil' Venice. Not a single road in all of it, it's either small walkways or taking smaller boats on the canals. People can swim from place to place as well, but it messes with the clothing and can't really take much with you." noted Nero as he spoke with Krzys. Since he was born after the tragedy started and only lived in the Lil' Venice sector, he's never really seen a car up close that was working. Maybe one day, Krzys could remedy that...
"But generally, I've tried to only use the walkways. After all, I really can't swim. I'll drown if I'm in the water for more than a minute, and I'm always paranoid with those boats. Not too good for business, but thankfully my sister can help me with deliveries." Nero joked around as he noted his inability. Hopefully, he haven't talk too much, but at the very least, hopefully Krzys learned what he wanted to learn.
"How about you? Haven't heard much about Lil' Barcelona."
