RE: Life's A Beach - Mr. Lee Hammer - 03-11-2021
The man enters the hotel and sees all the new people inside. Everyone unaware of his presence until he starts speaking.
Yes, it's a nice looking hotel, isn't it? Too bad when this was built, it ended up destroying several habitats and screwing everything up on this island. But does Victoria care about that? No....

"Ah, so that's why it looks so terribly out of place! Thank you, mister random bearded bloke, you are a wonderful repository of knowledge."
As Seth says this, he's in the middle of cobbling together... something... from lengths of string and rusty paperclips.

[Once in her room, Peanut goes to the balcony and... immediately realizes she's too short to look over the railing. Frustrated, she pulls over the nearest chair and stands on that to look at the island beneath her. From there, she pulls out her Nookphone and snaps a few selfies, and goes to post them on Facenook—
...ah shit. She forgot to ask for the wifi password. That's... an issue.]

You people kidding me? I'm not some random guy, you know. I'm Jimmy Scott. You can all call me Shoehorn. I'm the leader of the Sharks.

RE: Life's A Beach - MadeOfMilk - 03-11-2021
Ah, time to get my vacation off to a good start!
> Go to the pool, find an open lounge chair, and READ! THAT! MANGA!
RE: Life's A Beach - KungFuCutbug - 03-11-2021
[Peanut storms back down to the lobby and runs up to Shoehorn.] Hey! Hey, you, slacker! Do you know the wifi password?! I can't like, leave my followers hanging for too long! I don't normally like, go this long without posting to Facenook, so I'm worried they'll like, think I'm dead or something, slacker!
RE: Life's A Beach - Huney - 03-11-2021
Tony also storms out, it seems in direct response to Peanut.
"Ay, ay! Volume! Geezy-louisy! We just got off a boat and my spiders are feelin' miserable!"
RE: Life's A Beach - Mr. Lee Hammer - 03-11-2021
I don't know what this Wi-fi or this Facenook is? And what followers do you have? Are you a gang leader too? Victoria didn't make you her second in command, did she?
RE: Life's A Beach - KungFuCutbug - 03-11-2021
What? No, nonono, I mean like—like followers on social media! Facenook, Tweeter, Isagram, that sorta thing, slacker! And wifi's like, the internet! ...Kinda surprised there are still people in the world who don't know what the internet is. Like, the poor souls, slacker! [Peanut laughs briefly.] Aaaanyway, who's Victoria?
RE: Life's A Beach - Huney - 03-11-2021
"Ignore 'er, bub. Social media is where the living go to die for clicks and likes. Not worth ya time... ay wait, you wasn't on tha boat, were ya?"
RE: Life's A Beach - Mr. Lee Hammer - 03-11-2021
The internet you say? I do recall it being a new thing, about 25 years ago, before I arrived here. But I guess in all that time, it's really expanded. But what are these things? Facenook, Tweeter, Isagram? Are they like clowns or something? And you know, the Victoria, who runs this hotel? You can't trust her. She'll throw you away when she no longer has any use for you. And no, I wasn't on the boat. But I've been watching you all since you all arrived.
RE: Life's A Beach - KungFuCutbug - 03-11-2021
[You can practically hear Peanut rolling her eyes in response to Tony's comment.]
RE: Life's A Beach - TalesofUnder - 03-11-2021
Fuhahahaha! Foolish man! Twitter rules the world now! Unfortunately, I must overthrow it if I am to take over the world myself.
RE: Life's A Beach - Mr. Lee Hammer - 03-11-2021
I'm sorry if I'm not familiar with all these things you're all talking about. I've been on this island for 25 years now. So much of the world has changed, I imagine, but I am incredibly out of the loop on all these things. Not that I would be interested in all that anyway. Because all this out there, he points towards the door, is my world.
RE: Life's A Beach - Dookie - 03-11-2021
>tunes in to Rock 102.7
What is that?
Oh, it's “Truckin’” by The Grateful Dead!
(Also, btw, there's a radio in every room).
>ok then, 4th floor
4J is now occupied!
> Go to the pool, find an open lounge chair, and READ! THAT! MANGA!
The pool is kinda relaxing. Not near as relaxing as the beach, but still kinda relaxing.
RE: Life's A Beach - KungFuCutbug - 03-11-2021
HMPH! [Peanut crosses her arms, face glowing reddish with irritation.] Well, if YOU don't know the wifi password, I'll have to find this Victoria lady and ask HER! Having a constant contact with my fanbase is like, uber important if I wanna become an influencer pop star celebrity, slacker!
RE: Life's A Beach - Mr. Lee Hammer - 03-11-2021
Why do you keep calling me slacker for? If you know what I do, you would think twice before calling me that. And you want to be a celebrity? Uh.... you really are under the influence of Victoria, aren't you? Always have to think of yourself and not for others, right? It seems like my late wife is the only real decent person I know. She taught me the values of looking after other people, you know.
RE: Life's A Beach - Huney - 03-11-2021
"Oh, don't worry 'bout that, pal. She just says 'slacker' a lot. Some kinda tic."
RE: Life's A Beach - KungFuCutbug - 03-11-2021
...Are you deaf, slacker? [Oh boy, here we go.] First of all, I STILL don't know who this Victoria chucklenut is! How can she “influence” me if I've never even like, heard of her or met her, slacker? Now people like, say, Red Riding Hood or Dr. Ito—those are the REAL influencers! They're super popular and they like, actually seem to CARE about their follower bases! I'm trying to emulate their every move so that I can join their ranks and become like, super famous, slacker! But I also really REALLY love my fans! To death, bro! Which is why I'm trying to get the freaking wifi password so I can like, talk to them again! Waaugh, just— [Peanut huffs, clearly pissed off.] If you cross me and start like, slandering me to my face again? Consider yourself CANCELLED, slacker!! [With that, she turns on her feet and storms back to her bedroom, muttering angrily under her breath.]
RE: Life's A Beach - Mr. Lee Hammer - 03-11-2021
Jimmy chuckles as Peanut walks off in a huff.
What an angry little squirrel. What's her problem. She have a tough nut to crack or something? Well, she can help herself to what I have on the island. I got plenty of nuts. But for the rest of you, how would you all feel about joining me on a tour of the rest of the island? You can see all the beauty that nature has to offer. You can all see that everything I live for is out there. What do you all say?
RE: Life's A Beach - Zanreo - 03-11-2021
Paruko is looking around the arcade. "Wonder if they have Squid Beatz here..." she says to herself.
