RE: Life's a Beach 2 - Florien - 12-20-2021
Good to meet you... Ernesto. Yes, welcome to this island. A spike jutting out of a pool of water on a giant rock with no way off either. Anyway, to catch you up, though you've probably been caught up already, there's ostensibly about to be a war on, and no doubt it will be a bloody scene. So prepare yourself for that.
She then turns to the server complaining about poor quality of life.
You considered unionizing, or violent revolution? Either could get you what you want.
RE: Life's a Beach 2 - MadameButterflyKnife - 12-20-2021
Ernesto takes a bite out of his ice cream. Delicious. Anyways. You "hate" him. That seems like an issue. He appears to be affable, at least. Is there some sort of hidden side to him, according to your perception? Some aspect of him that brings offense and negative energy to your life?
RE: Life's a Beach 2 - Caret - 12-20-2021
Steve waves erratically at Ernesto.
"A newcomer! We love <Greet New People Today!> I'm Steve, your family friendly NFT salesman!!! How do you do, kiddo???"

The pig is going back to his mud-hole, I see. Thank God.
She turns to Snakeweed.
Whatever you put into these cookies, the Surf Club guy and the other server Florida Jack sure likes 'em. Give me one too! I can't stand working for Columbo. I am about to shoot myself.
Snakeweed stifles a smirk and slides the waiter a cookie. Of course.
Then she turns to Ernesto. Hi! Name's Gutierrezia Took. Most people just call me Snakeweed, though.
RE: Life's a Beach 2 - Mr. Lee Hammer - 12-20-2021
Thank you, the server says as she starts downing the cookie.
She turns to Desenari.
Meh, not really into the whole political thing. Just wanna get enough money where I can quit this place and find something better. Although I would feel better if I took one of his fancy cigars and light his hair on fire.
The server then addresses Ernesto.
You are clearly new here. Sure, he might put on a nice facade, but he'll quickly lose it and start treating everyone like trash. He thinks he has all the money in the world, he's so superior to everyone. A man of "refined tastes" he calls himself, while flaunting his wealth around by putting $100 bills as wallpaper. Not just us who work under him, either. It also extends to the ones that vacation here. And I heard that a couple people here arrived just to kill him.
RE: Life's a Beach 2 - Florien - 12-20-2021
Ah, so you're not willing to help yourself out of your state. I suppose you'll just have to wait for the end of wage labor a few centuries down the line when we're all dead instead of helping end it. Anyway, guests of the island! I move that we should take precautions. Well, I'll take them. You can die if that's what you're in to. Meanwhile, I'll set up various devices that, if they don't dissuade my would-be assassin, will make it much more difficult for them to escape in good condition. First, I shall need some FLOUR!

And also string and hooks!

And that should be it.

>Look around for a roll of string and some hooks-which-can-be-screwed-to-walls. (Desenari)
You have successfully obtained flour from the kitchen. And you manage to find some string, but no hooks though.
RE: Life's a Beach 2 - PointMaid - 12-20-2021
...That seems like a decent idea, actually. Probably. As long as nobody but killers are roaming around after nightfall so you don't catch some innocent...
> Help Desenari by looking for hooks
RE: Life's a Beach 2 - Mr. Lee Hammer - 12-20-2021
> Help Desenari by looking for hooks (Snakeweed)
You can't find hooks, but you do trip while searching in the ocean and get soaked.
RE: Life's a Beach 2 - PointMaid - 12-20-2021
Snakeweed does not look very happy about this, but starts wringing her clothing out to get some of the water out of it. ...What I get for trying to HELP, I guess.
RE: Life's a Beach 2 - MadameButterflyKnife - 12-20-2021
Ernesto gets up. Why, I would love to help. Help you survive so you can achieve the clear potential I can see within you. You obviously appear to have the attributes of a virgo rising.

RE: Life's a Beach 2 - Kennifer - 12-20-2021
"If he's one of those rich fatcats who treat his workers like shit, I've got to say I agree that unionizing would be a good bet. And strike for better working conditions."
Julia shrugs, then smiles and introduces herself to the new guy. He seemed cool, pretty zen about things, even if she wasn't sure she bought into the whole astrology thing.
RE: Life's a Beach 2 - Mr. Lee Hammer - 12-20-2021
>also look for hooks
>and a lighter (Ernesto)
You can't find any hooks, but you do however find a pretty good lighter.

> look for bomb making materials (Steve)
In your search for bomb making materials, all you do is break some of the bottles in the bar. You don't find anything except for the pissed-off staff for destroying company property.
RE: Life's a Beach 2 - Caret - 12-20-2021

You hide in your hut for the time being.
RE: Life's a Beach 2 - PointMaid - 12-20-2021
Snakeweed grins. A boss who can't keep the loyalty of their employees is in for a rude awakening.
RE: Life's a Beach 2 - PointMaid - 12-20-2021
* The above should have been in Snakeweed's green. Sorry.
RE: Life's a Beach 2 - MadameButterflyKnife - 12-20-2021
...Ernesto steps over the bottles. Oh, I apologize for that man. But there must be a bright side to this, you know? Maybe some of those bottles were expired. The strings of the universe work in crazy ways, and hopefully this is all in your favor in the end. But I digress-let me help you clean up.
>help clean up the mess that weird...Blue's Clues? Was that Steve from Blue's fucking Clues? anyways, clean up the mess he made

The mess is cleaned up quite well, and aside from a smidge here or there, the place is clean as a whistle.
RE: Life's a Beach 2 - Mr. Lee Hammer - 12-20-2021
REMINDER THAT NIGHT PHASE WILL BEGIN IN 4 MORE HOURS.
RE: Life's a Beach 2 - Florien - 12-21-2021
For your information, since you'll need to know this, I'm not going to tell any of you how I'm going to set these things that'll get you caught if you come for me up. Otherwise you may find a way to disarm them should you be out for me.
And with that, Desenari heads to cabin four to wait for the night to set up whatever she's setting up.
RE: Life's a Beach 2 - MadameButterflyKnife - 12-21-2021
I will leave you to it. And well-where should I sleep for the night, anyway?
As he does this, Ernesto will

You find a candle at the bar, but it's so hot you drop it and cause a fire.
