"What the hell's that supposed to mean?" Crozier roared. He was at his wits' end today.

[lieutenantsteward]

Thomas was very, very done with this man. He was hot, his stomach hurt from all the rubbish he ate, and he knew that he had been made a fool of. "It means that you need me, Francis Crozier," he told him. "Because no one likes you."

[goingtobeunwell]

"I don't care if they like me!" he barked back. "At least I'm not some empty-headed pretty boy trying to mask his lack of personality with idiotic catch phrases and a GoFundMe smile!"

[lieutenantsteward]

Thomas' smile froze and he stared down the older man for a long moment. The theme park faded away, and all he saw was a tunnel that led straight to the man's face. "And that GoFundMe smile is what brings in the money so you can sit in your cave and shake your fist at the world."

[adaptiveimmunities]

Shaun, fortunately or not, has no idea what Dorian is talking about. "Water slide thing?" he asks with a curious look. Whatever it is sounds like some kind of idiot stunt, and that definitely is his kind of thing. "What happened?"

It's a water slide, right? how bad could it be?

[goingtobeunwell]

Crozier stared at him, knuckles turning white as he tightened his grasp on the tripod. "Did you just call me a troll?"

[lieutenantsteward]

"No, you did. But I would have to agree," he told him, unaware of the danger awaiting him.

[goingtobeunwell]

Crozier threw down the tripod, rolling up his sleeves. "Alright. That's enough. Let's go."

[lieutenantsteward]

Thomas danced away from him. "You can't hit my face! That's literally the only reason you can do anything!" he told him.

[goingtobeunwell]

He shook his head, watching Jopson jump around him. He cracked the knuckles of his right hand, then popped him across the face. "Tommy, Tommy - we got our footage, remember!"

[lieutenantsteward]

Thomas was not the type to get hit. He stayed away from fights and anything physical, though he did remember getting a bit scrappy as a kid. All of that raced from his head, though, as soon as Crozier's fist connected with his face. He felt a rush of white-hot pain that didn't seem to dissipate, even as he staggered back, barely managing to keep his feet.

He felt blood pooling in his mouth and spit it in a very undignified way on the theme park ground. Before he could consider the ramifications, Thomas leapt up at him, fists flying.

[adaptiveimmunities]

Shaun makes his way to the pool, pausing to snap a smiling selfie (CANNONBALL!! #pooltime #fyreresort) before heading to one of the chairs along the side. He's actually not in the mood to go swimming at the moment, but his mother's voice from their morning 'pep talk' is ringing in his head.

"Eighth place is completely unacceptable. We need to be number one by tonight, and that means you all need to post throughout the day. Michael--history of the area or something like that. You know how to spin it best. Shaun and Georgia--show off the resort. Shaun will take the activities, Georgia--the accommodations. Remember: we're having the most fun we've ever had in our lives.

And kids--" she'd smiled at them at this point. "If you want to break out on your own, you're going to need a good launching point. Let's make this weekend count, shall we?"

He settles himself on one of the chairs and grins when he sees Blanche Devereaux on the next one over. He doesn't really know her, but he likes her show, even if he doesn't have time for the kind of relationship she gives advice for. "Hey--enjoying the resort?"

[goingtobeunwell]

Crozier was not expecting Tommy 'The Teeth' Jopson to actually swing back at him. He grunted as a couple of punches landed, reeling a few steps backwards before shoving him off with a grin.

Funny, this was the most Crozier had ever liked Jopson.

He rubbed his jaw and then swung at him again.

[lieutenantsteward]

Thomas tried to defend himself, but he knew that he wasn't the type. He could just try and defend himself.

He was going to hurt tomorrow.

[blancheinthesheets]

Blanche knows the young man and his famous family rather well - or rather, knows of them. She raises her fruity drink in acknowledgement. "Well hey there, honey. I am, I am."

She lowers her sunglasses. "How about yourself? Not going in the pool?"

[nextrightthing]

The first post on Anna's instagram account, AnnaBananna, is a picture of her in huge sunglasses and a big floppy sunhat, holding up her favorite bullet journal on the balcony of her hotel room. It's followed by several shots of spreads in her journal:

Anna can be found anywhere you'd like, throwing herself into the fun and experiences, but she's always got her journal, her phone and giant water bottle with her to document the fun and keep herself hydrated. Selfcare, guys!

[heyboss]

Lester was not the sun beach type, but he would do anything for his daughter. Including traipsing out to this resort and carrying all his daughter's luggage. But he would do that and more, if she needed it. He followed her on his account, which was mostly bare save for a few pictures of the two of them together with absolutely no hashtags that he did for her.

But damn, he needed a cigarette.

"Honey, did you bring the sunscreen?" he asked her as they walked by the pool. "Your shoulders are red. I wish you'd wear that wrap I bought you."

[nextrightthing]

Anna was on a Mission. She had her eyes on a specific set of deck chairs, where the sun was just right and she'd be able to get a great set of selfies and pics of the pool and resort, and she could do some reading. She needed to finish the most recent book in her online book club, so she could write up a post about it later that night. Then she could set it to post tomorrow, and it would be up before the next book was announced.

"What?" She glanced over her shoulder at him and smiled widely. "Oh, Daddy. You know I have the sunscreen." It was in the ginormous beach bag he was carrying for them, along with everything else they could possibly need for a day in the sun. "I think the wrap is in the bag, too."

...It was not. She loved her father, but his fashion sense was not that great.

[heyboss]

He waited until they reached the chairs before he set down the bag and dug through it for the sunscreen, the good sunscreen, and handed it to her. "Put that on before you get too comfortable." He continued to root around in the bag until he found their towels. No wrap, but it would have to do.

[nextrightthing]

Anna rolled her eyes with a smile, taking the sunscreen from him. "You're so overprotective," she said fondly, beginning to apply the sunscreen. She frowned thoughtfully at her arms as she slathered on the lotion. "...I'm not really getting red though, am I? I mean, I wouldn't mind a little tan, but a burn wouldn't be good..."

[heyboss]

"No, honey," he assured her. "Not after that sunscreen." He gave her a towel. "But maybe put that on your shoulders?"

He could try, right?

He took the sunscreen back and dropped it back in the bag, pulling out her journals and bag of pens. "What colors today?"

[nextrightthing]

"Oh, Dad." Still, she took the towel, putting it on the chair so she could lean back on it. She took the journals and pens from him, considering them thoughtfully. "I think I'll do blues and greens. What do you think? Where's your waterbottle?"

[heyboss]

Aw, hell. He panicked for a moment, but, of course it was in the bag. He pulled it out and showed her, rattling it a bit so that she could hear the water sloshing inside. He made a show of opening it and taking a long drink as he handed her the blues and greens. "You're the one with the artistic eye, honey," he told her, zipping up the bag, just as his cigarettes fell from his pocket.

He scrambled to pick them up, hoping she hadn't noticed.

[fishandclips]

He can't stop staring at her, the whole time she's approaching him. "...How. How are you here."

[adaptiveimmunities]

He shrugs and drapes his towel over the back of his chair. "Probably eventually. Figured I'd take some time to warm up in the sun first. But maybe I can get people to join in a pool game later." Good publicity for everyone--they'd all benefit from each others' followers.
