Take it away, theme song!

Life reminds me of a stone here in the Slaughter.

Make a a move when it's your turn.

You're in the weed to get that food out.

Napkins, menus, table linens, seating hungry patrons.

Terror, danger, yelps, or death are sure to face you on your quest.

But don't worry, the Bellehaven three

are here to run the eatery.

Sloth tents.

Everybody's favorite crew in Sloth Tents.

Serve the food and talk to stew

Welcome to the Silver Bell Tavern, the finest restaurant in the little beach town of Bellehaven.

Celebrating over 75 years of service, the Silver Bell is an important part of the busy summer community.

Tonight is the first Friday of the beach season, and the Silver Bell is under new management and the reservation boat is full.

It promises to be a busy evening.

Now let's meet our players and their characters.

This is how I start out.

Okay.

Well, I know you said it.

I just thought that there would be a toss or something.

It was like, Dan, who are you playing?

Let's introduce the characters.

It's a pretty clear toss.

Well,

we haven't even said our

startup.

We're just being like, this is the order.

We haven't even said our real names, which you usually do at the start of it.

I said players.

Okay.

I'm not, this is not this is not a critique.

I'm just talking about my own community.

Hey, I'm Dan McCoy of the Flop House, but right now we're doing Slop Tails,

a spin-off

of the original popular Flop Tails Smart BG

bonus episodes.

And

in this episode, I'll be playing Luke Rot Warmer,

who

works at this restaurant, of course.

I'm a sweet, innocent college boy,

and I wear the uniform of a college boy who doesn't know how to dress yet, but is kind of a sweet, nerdy man working somewhere, which is khakis and a white shirt.

Neither of them fit well.

That's all I have to say right now, I guess.

I'll introduce myself.

My name is Elliot Kalen, and today I'll be playing the part of Jeremy Scales Chandler.

I am the

sous chef over at the Silver Bell, and you know,

I'm not from a privileged background.

I worked my way up.

My family, they, you know, they work the docks, they work the sea.

My dad is

a sea cucumber farmer, which is, you know, he just catches them.

And it hasn't been a great catch the last couple seasons.

So that's why I'm working my way up through the ranks at the Silver Bell.

I'm the sous chef there, and you could think of me as a guy who's got like, you know, like one of those half aprons, real filthy, never gets washed, and kind of like a sleeveless bands t-shirt.

I think that band is probably going to be,

let's see, early Genesis.

And, you know, the real

psychological

on this shirt, yeah.

Yeah, and it's also filthy.

Yeah, it's also very stained, does not get washed.

Now, real quick, you said it's Jeremy Scales, Chandler?

Yes, yes.

What does scales stand for?

Scales represents fish scales, because I grew up, again,

scraping the scales off of sea cucumbers and whatever else my dad could catch in his little dinghy of a boat that barely kept us supported.

I'm a real towny guy from a humble background, you know.

So I always have fish scales under my fingernails, and I smell like fish scales.

And so it's

started as an insulting nickname, but I've kind of taken it on.

I've started to own it, you know.

And I wanted to say that in the kerfuffle where I did everything wrong,

I forgot to mention I am the host at the restaurant.

That's your job.

My job.

Excellent.

Hi, I'm Juman Perang, and I'll be playing Terrence Silverbell.

He is the son of the owners of the Silverbell Tavern, and he is the new manager.

It is the job that he has been raised since birth to

be.

He

has been the town, the Silver Bells have been the town royalty for as long as he's been alive, on to four or five generations, when they were the first family that founded the town,

settled there, built the tavern before they built any houses.

So the tavern has the best position in the town,

looking over the beach on a small little cliff over all the houses

are sort of like surround the town.

So the town sort of is centered around the Silver Bell Tavern.

Terence is a very handsome young man.

He is dressed impeccably in a manager's of a restaurant's outfit, black pants, buttoned down shirt, the black tie that comes down that is kind of tucked into the, between the third and second button of the shirt with a little beautiful gold, I'm sorry, excuse me, silver pin that says Terrence on it.

He is a little too tall to be handsome.

His height reaches just

the point where it stops being attractive and starts being a little like, oh, how does he get around?

Like he starts to loom over people.

Yes.

People worry about your bone density.

Yes, at that point.

And it's a little bit of a thing for him, but

he has nonetheless gotten by on his family's largesse and wealth and all beach passes all year round.

Every hotel in the area, every other tavern always gives the family all the soup to nuts specials, all the beach chair and poolside access.

And he is fully, fully taken advantage of all them from the first day.

He has not actually worked at the restaurant very long, but he has managerial managerial DNA.

I'm glad he got over the trauma of being too tall.

Yeah.

Oh, one other thing I forgot to mention about Jeremy Scales Chandler.

I just want to check it out.

The character also has a beard, which mentioned it's a pretty scraggly beard.

It's not by choice, just by not shaving.

And the beard also has scales, fish scales, kind of caught in it.

Sometimes he'll just pick up a fish and take a bite out of it.

And, you know, he's a guy, he's a real,

he's a real, he's a real slob, you know.

He's a real humble guy.

I would argue that not shaving is a choice that you can make actively, but sure.

I mean, it's the choice of lack of least resistance.

The hair's coming out.

He's not going to stop it, you know.

And it means that when they're worried the health department's going to show up, he has to wear a little beard net.

Yes.

Yeah.

To keep his beard out of the food.

Okay.

Because otherwise the scales sometimes fall from his beard into the food.

Yeah.

The other people.

And his eyes.

Yeah, the customers get very mad when their fish scales get on the fish scales that they order.

It's very upsetting.

Is that the specialty of the silver dolls and silver scales?

That's an answer you're going to have to provide for me later.

Wow.

How are those knuckleheads ever going to make it through a busy shift without disaster?
