Personality[]
Chris is a confident, uptight, and social college student. He is well versed in indie movies such as Memento Mori, and isn't afraid to flirt with Bea, who he is notably interested by prior to Mae's interference. He appears to know his way around politics, and seems to like to flaunt his social status as a college student, looking down on others for going to college to form a career, rather than going for the sake of study. When Mae rudely calls Chris out on his mean attitude towards workers, Chris claims he's interned at his uncle's firm. Mae frequently calls him a spoiled rich kid, something he ignores.
When Chris finds out that Bea lives in Deep Hollow County, a two hour drive from College Town, he appears to taunt her by repeating the information to Rick. When Bea runs from the situation shortly after, he seems flabbergasted, but not interested in understanding the situation further.
Rick, compared to Chris, is the more mellow of the two. He appears to have somewhat of a similar personality to Mae, talking about subjects such as his previous house burning down, as though he has no filter. He appears to be much more awkward in social situations, not reading the flirtatiousness between Chris and Bea, much like Mae, however he isn't nearly as bad.
He appears to not know what Deep Hollow County or Possum Springs is, and is surprised and confused to find out that Bea doesn't actually go to their college.

At some point, Bea lies about going to College Town's college, and Chris start getting flirtatious with her. Once Mae is finished having a conversation with Bombshell, she checks in on Bea and abruptly butts in on the conversation between Chris and Bea.

Rick interjects his own story in a similar fashion.
Soon after Chris asks Bea out on a date at the local pizza place, Mae accidentally outs Bea as not actually going to their college, and instead works at the Ol' Pickaxe in Possum Springs. Chris and Rick are confused, and before the two could ask any more questions, Bea runs out of the party, shortly followed by Jackie and Mae, leaving the two confused and weirded out.
