New Hawaii: Team Vespidae - New Arrival
Who: Team Vespidae (CK, Pete Marwood, Jack Phantom, Keto, Amber, Mel)
Where: New Hawaii
When: After landing
====================
<<SNIP>>
"Right, we aren't going until we have had some time to recover
from New Australia. Lets go to our rooms and get settled. After
you." The team leader said to Mr Alonso with a hand resting on her
gun.
<<END SNIP>>
"We have," Amber continued as the team were guided to one of the upper
floors of the extremely ornate-looking hotel, "Three rooms which were
free and which Mr Alonso has now kindly offered to us."
Mr Alonso's eyes flicked towards Amber's shotgun as she said this, and
he made no comment.
"Mel and I will be sharing one of the rooms, you two..." (pointing at
Marwood and Phantom), "Will be sharing another and you," pointing at
Callum and Keto, "Will be sharing the third. They're big rooms so
it's not an issue. Understood?"
The group reached the doors of their three rooms, Mr Alonso snapping
smartly to a halt, just as Keto voiced his concerns.
"I refuse to share a room with this...this thing!" he said loudly,
waving one arm at Callum, who was looking less than thrilled at the
prospect himself, "In fact, I refuse to share a room with any of you!
You, hotel minion, give me that room there."
Alonso shifted uncomfortably, glancing at the room along the hall that
Keto was indicating. "That room is taken, sir," he replied, making a
concerted effort not to look at Amber's shotgun or Keto. Either one
could have been hazardous.
"I don't care," snapped Keto, "I want it. Do you have the key to it?"
"Y...yes, but-"
"Good! I'm staying in that room!" announced Keto, snatching the key
from Alonso's tentatively proffered hand, "Whatever or whoever is in
there already can stay somewhere else, but *I'M* not sharing with any
of you!"
The team looked to Amber, expecting a reaction. The reaction that
they were not expecting was for her to merely shrug.
"Fine," she said, turning to unlock the door to her room.
This appeared to have slightly nonplussed Keto, too.
"Fine?" he asked with a frown.
"Yes, fine. Run along. Be back here tomorrow morning or else. That
goes for all of you."
Amber coughed heavily, caught her breath, then walked off into her
room. The rest of the team looked at each other, puzzled, then one by
one split off and entered the hotel rooms to see what lay inside.
Eventually, only Keto was standing out in the hallway, fuming as
Alonso beat a hasty retreat back downstairs.
"FINE!" he echoed, loudly, "Yes, fine, indeed! Very fine!"
He stomped off over to the taken room, jammed the key into the lock,
and opened the door with gratuitous violence.
The occupant, rather than being shocked, was rather pleased. The same
could not be said for Keto.
"CHARLES! Iteth ist thou!"
"Oh no. No no!" said Keto, paling and backing against the hotel room
door, "What are YOU doing here!?"
"I hast come to join thee in thy quest for the coconutteth!" announced
Shakespeare, grinning, "Art we to share abodes? O, what fun this
shall be!"
Keto considered flying back to New Australia and taking his chances
with the mush-a-roos.

OOC: Tag any of the team. This now includes Shakespeare. :P
