The cork board of mystery files is such a vibe. Like it has the chaotic energy needed for the conspiracy theories and random stuff out in there but is also organized in a surprisingly easy way.
Thoughts on Steve and Billy having each other’s jobs? Like, Billy winds up working at Scoops Ahoy and Steve ends up as a lifeguard. I’ve seen the idea floated around before and I’m curious about your thoughts on it
Ooooooh good question!
First of all, I am absolutely positive that upon seeing Billy in that sailor get up, Max straight up roasts him, calling him Popeye and reminding him to eat his spinach.
Billy threatens to tell Lucas about the time she lit a carrot on fire because she thought it was a cigarette (she wanted to be like her big brother).
Steve would high key be worried about getting sun burnt, and he's already got kids to look after, so I don't think he would have any issue keeping anyone in line. I think he'd be nicer than Billy at first, but even the nicest people have their breaking points.
The sailor uniform would probably be a little snug around Billy's thighs and ass, so at least it doesn't hide his best features. The hat however sends him into orbit. His hair is like a plant to him, and that hat would not only hide it, but mess with it. Max giddy teases that his hair "looks like a rats nest" so at least no one will see his bad hair days.
Which is purpostrous. Billy Hargrove simply never has bad hair days 😉
Steve has to shave his chest hair so that he can apply sunblock everywhere (and I mean everywhere).
Billy immediately connects with Robin (they share inside jokes about the customers). Robin likes to keep score of every single time Billy loses it and gives indecisive patrons a piece of his mind.
Billy would be the type to dramatically throw his hat on the ground and say "I quit" and come back the next day ready to serve the public.
Billy might be a bit awkward at first with kids, but when Erica Sinclair enters Scoops Ahoy... he's met an equal. Erica keeps the younger kids in line for Billy, and in exchange he gets her free Scoops. Robin turns a blind eye to their little scheme.
Steve recently saw Jaws, so everything that looks like a shark fin has him yelling frantically for everyone to exit the pool. This has happened five times within the first two hours of his shift.
Billy has been caught multiple times licking Jason Carver's ice cream before giving it to him. Robin lets it happen.
Steve makes sure everyone has on sunscreen, and will drag you out of the pool if he didn't see you apply any. Don't ask how he knows, he just does.
If he sees anyone eating or peeing in his pool, he "sentences" them to mandatory reflection time (aka sitting by his chair and watching their friends have fun while they read the lifeguard manual front to back until the sun sets).
FUN FACT OF DINH!!! She misses her culture, so she would murder live animals in front of the residents:
Nguyen Thi Dinh came in with two chickens and 1 lbs. of meat to make a special dish cause she misses it. The resident watches in horror as they are forced to try it. Zenobia is in the closet to hide as MC and Sebastian watches in blatant horror. Olga and Y Lan is comforting the residents as they watch. I will borrow some OC to make it more comedic. Brb-
Dinh: once you plucked the feather of the chickens, you will chop- [a loud clef knife slammed down the dead chicken neck, with blood gushing out onto the bowl]
Mozart: [watches in horror as he blinks, about to puke at the vivid scene. Hey that rhymes!]
Dinh: while you make sure both chicken blood are in the bowl, you will prepare the meat~! [quickly did it to the other chicken, the prepared the meat]
Y Lan: *holding Salai as he moved his head to puke*
Mc: …
Olga: *sighs* the horrid scene is finished Charles.
Charles: I feel sick..merde…
Wellington: *dead as his face loses all blood*
Dinh: now~! While the meat is cooking, we pour the fresh blood onto the meat~! [giddy]
Michelangelo: mom, I’m scared. Pick me up!!!! *gripping onto Raphael who is already fainted *
Leonardo: I-…*covers his mouth as he watches, needs a cig RIGHT NOW*
Ileana: it’s alright Alexei..it be over…I hope…
Anna Boleyn and Zenobia is in the closet as we speak to hide from it……
Wu Zetian: *blinks, but doesn’t really care…* can we add rouge to it?
Y Lan: ZETIAN!
Wu Zetian: Shima?! *what= shima*
Isaac: …I take a apple over this…
Dazai: *just smiling even though screaming inside*
Jean: *pale as he also blinked in blatant horror*
Faust: *nowhere to be seen, he left once nobody notice to go puke*
Theo: [has his eyes covered onto Vincent shoulder]
Vincent: [comforting Vincent as he watches the scene trying to reassure himself]
Dinh: then~ you stir it~! Add some cilantro and pepper…!
Napoleon: [in Wellington lap as he closes his eye in gay horror]
Alexander 1 is nowhere to be found…he also left the chat to be with Faust…
Dinh: now~! We EAT!!!
Gilles: merde..I’m gonna puke—! *rushes out quickly*
Arthur: *arthur.exe. Has stopped*
Sir Worth: [shudders at the meal before him]
Olga R.: it’s almost over Maria..almost…
Tatiana: *had to accompany Anastasia to the toiletry so lifted the chat*
After everyone regained their stomachs sickness, they all were forced to try by eating it. Dinh was never allowed to do it again. If your wondering what I mean by the dish? Here it is~!
