Frequently sat at the bar in the coffee house is Quint, a 64 year old former bounty hunter; you can't really miss him, he still smokes, dresses like the 70s never stopped and drives a 70s Mustang.
Quint was one of the original ten occupants of Shark House, he got out of the Shark House when Giro offered him the so called Shark Hunter job.
One of the most important aspects of Shark House is that everyone still owes debt, miss too many payments and Quint hunts you down; an old lyric from Hotel California sums it up best "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave" this rings true for all ten current tenants and even Hellcat who might not be a resident but still has to pay Shark House for her debts.
Nessa and Barry are considered permanent residents as their debt is way too big that they would likely die before paying back all of it, the others will likely get out more quickly with Popuri odds on favourite to be the next to leave.
Following the Casino Square party the previous night, Hellcat and her friends were going through the arrangements for the Smash Zone round that was happening later tonight, at the same time Hellcat was looking for a new job, her red carpet entrance gained so much attention that she received hundreds of job offers.
"My mom gave me that dress on purpose didn't she" Hellcat bemoaning her unwanted attention.
"Kinda difficult to ignore your best feature, you could probably pay off that debt in one go" Luke hinted.
"Most of these offers are for certain adult jobs, only problem with that is, I'm a virgin" the moment Hellcat said that, Alice choked on her milk tea as she burst out laughing, she had to leave for the bathroom just to calm down. Giro interrupted to keep some peace.
"Eliminating all the "adult" jobs, what are you left with?"
Hellcat laid out five jobs requests.
Job 1: Bait shop assistant for Fishing Season down at Bayside pier.
Job 2: Dancer for a segment on Children's tv show Sunflower Street, 12 week contract.
Job 3: Lingerie model for one off photo shoot for Silk and Velvet Photography.
Job 4: Night Club Singer for Club Sheer Heart Attack, for six nights over six weeks.
Job 5: Waitress job for Lakewood Diner, permanent position.
"Best chance I've got of keeping Quint off my back is to take all five jobs" Hellcat looks over at Quint who death stares back.
"He's an Emperor class Highway driver as well, so I have no escape" Hellcat stamping the job applications and hands them back to Giro.
"On to today's business, I believe Luke is first up in the Smash Zone arena against Warhammer" Giro evil smiles at Luke.
"I know that look, you've seen the tournament bracket, Razzmatazz vs Firestorm is just an appetizer, the main course comes later, Blood Raven vs Cerulean Wizard" Luke laughs.
