### Recording & Off stream

Beetle starts off in the town homeless and surviving off scraps.

Neptune brings Beetle into his pub and lets him stay with him as roommates.

No longer homeless but still a nuisance, Beetle’s rambunctious behaviors soon annoys Pap, the wealthy man of the town.

The Pap vs Beetle rivalry of fighting back and forth lasts for a while until Ginger, Bri and Emi persuade them both to stop and have a civil conversation.

Pap threatens if Beetle wants to stay in the town, he has to find work, offering a job at the factory, Beetle reluctantly agrees. They shake hands on it.

### “The Industrial Revolution [HALLS SMP]”, twitch.tv/Paprikupp

Beetle brings Vassago, a local duke who lives in a mansion just outside of the town to meet Pap.

Beetle and Pap give Vassago a tour of the factory, their boss and employee dynamic concerning Vassago.

Is Pap really the nice and caring boss they claim to be? Beetle’s nervous behavior suggests otherwise.

### “Chilling on HallsSMP! ALSO I WORK FOR PAP NOW LOL???”, twitch.tv/b\_eetle

Beetle shows Neptune around the factory and tells Neptune about Pap’s threatening behavior.

They explore under the factory to find a strange key in a chest, and a pit of alligators???

Pili and Beetle get a little mischievous and enter Pap’s mansion to pull a prank.

Beetle tells Pili how Pap threatened to kick him out of town if he didn’t work for them. Pili tells Beetle Pap can’t do that because it’s Pili who owns the town, not Pap.

Pap comes in and gives chase to Beetle around the whole factory and eventually into Neptune's pub, resulting in Neptune standing in the middle of the conflict until Pap eventually leaves.

Pap tells Beetle his trust in him has been broken, and his job will become “worse”, leaving Beetle questioning what that entails.

### “Chilling on HallsSMP! ALSO I WORK FOR PAP NOW LOL???”, twitch.tv/b\_eetle

Beetle is hanging out in the center of town with some pals (Ginger, Sunny, Jupy, Honey, Tempest, Canada) when Pap requests his presence at the factory.

Beetle brings the lot with him to the factory and shows them around, they try to get the crane working.

Pap has Beetle sign a visa form stating the following:

>  This FROST VISA indicates passage rights for the SIGNED INDIVIDUAL to the premises of FROST Resort and use of its facilities. Doing so pauses any ongoing citizenships in favor of FROST governing and therefore fully subjects the individual of FROST LAW.
>
>

> By signing, the individual acknowledges and agrees to all terms of the visa conditions and accepts any and all repercussions for violating the rules and regulations as designated and subject to change by PAPRIKUP FROST.
>
>

> This includes a waiver acknowledging and accepting the risks of the premises, which includes individuals residing on or ruling over the grounds.
>
>

> The individual agrees to keep concerns within the legal and physical sphere of FROST Territory, and any violation of this agreement will result in either the termination of the individual, or legally binding conscription of the individual for an indefinite amount of time.
>
>

> As long as the individual has violated no rules and isn’t currently subject to law enforcement, they are free to travel between Frost Territories and areas under alternative ownership at their leisure.
>
>

> Violation of regulations revokes this right for an unspecified amount of time.
>
>

> These are the current terms of a FROST Visa acknowledged by the signed individual, who is in full agreement of all terms, and any introduced in the future.
>
>

> Note: Any rewriting of these terms which were not done under the consent of PAPRIKUP FROST are considered a capital offense, within and beyond FROST law.

> Enjoy your stay!

While Beetle signs the contract, the others stay at the crane, Jupy falling and dying [in game], needing to get his stuff back.

Pap announces that those without visas are not welcome in the FROST Resort.

The others try to protest Pap’s new rule.

Beetle helps Jupy sneak back in to get his stuff back, distracting Pap and assuming their mission is successful.

The group reconvenes at Sunny’s workshop. They question if Pap is trying to make the Resort a country.

Pap requests Beetle to meet him at the factory roof. Pap knows how many times Beetle has gone behind Pap’s back and broken his rules.

Pap proceeds to discipline Beetle by beating the shit out of him. Pap tells Beetle he is no longer allowed to leave the Resort, nor see anyone who enters.

Pap shuts Beetle in the factory.

### “I’m stuck in the Frost Resort [HALLS SMP]”, twitch.tv/b\_eetle

Beetle goes about his routine stuck in the factory keeping guard and confronting any of those who trespass in a lighthearted manner.

Neptune visits Beetle in secret at the factory and Beetle updates him on his imprisonment

Pap requests Beetle’s presence at the gate of the resort. Pap gives Beetle a full set of decked out netherite armor with a netherite ax, sword and hammer. He then assigns Beetle with the task of going out and persuading Sunny to rejoin Pap in helping him with his machinery, trusting Beetle to do this task without disobeying.

Beetle sets off to negotiate with Sunny, and Neptune tags along. Though Sunny is reluctant to mend relationships with Pap, they agree to help for Beetle’s sake.

Beetle and Neptune head back and spend a moment together in the pub, where Neptune gives him a flamingo plush.

Beetle returns to the Resort, where he reconvenes with Pap. Pap is pleased with Beetle’s success on the mission. He explains to Beetle that his freedom is now based on a commission system, and that he is only allowed to leave the Resort when he succeeds in bringing successful business to the Frost Resort.

Beetle returns to the factory upon Pap’s orders. Shortly after, Pap returns and demands the flamingo plush from Beetle, who reluctantly gives it to him. Pap in return gives Beetle a totem of undying.

Beetle begins to take his job more seriously.

### “Goofing around in HALLSSMP”, twitch.tv/daialune

Dee comes to visit Beetle at the corner of the Resort, but Beetle meets them with a sort of hostility, telling Dee to remain on the other side of the wall.

Beetle explains to Dee that he needs to start taking his job more seriously so as to not cause any worse consequences for himself or others.

Dee points out that Beetle has changed, and suggests he’s losing touch to the rambunctious side of himself, warning him of the danger he’s in being around Pap.

Beetle denies this, saying that Pap isn’t the bad guy everyone is painting him to be, also pointing out how all the conflict so far has been aggravated by people trespassing, and not just signing a visa.

Dee asks Beetle to promise that he’ll tell them if or when Pap ever hurts him. He reluctantly agrees.

Dee and Beetle continue to chat across the wall while Beetle clears the snow along the barbed wire of the snow. Whenever Pap comes up in a topic he talks rather highly of him.

### "A Healthy Business”, twitch.tv/paprikupp

Pap finds Beetle at the roof of the factory. Beetle gives Pap a cool top hat as a gift and also mentions the extra work he’s done around the Resort, impressing Pap.

With the fast progress of Sunny’s machinery work, which was thanks to Beetle persuading Sunny to work for Pap, Pap is granting Beetle 5 days outside the Resort as their agreement.

Beetle heads off on his way to 5 days of freedom.

### “FIVE DAYS OF FREEDOM DAY ONE!!!! [HALLSSMP]”, twitch.tv/b\_eetle

Beetle meets up with Dee at the town center and tells them about their five days outside of the resort.

The two of them go exploring for a while.

After their exploration, they meet a new face at the town center, going by the name Unknown.

Beetle and Unknown go off into the mountains to build a secret base deep underground.

### “FIVE DAYS OF FREEDOM DAY TWO [HALLSMP] !lore”, twitch.tv/b\_eetle

Beetle and Dee meet up with Neptune at the pub. Beetle tells them about the secret base he was building with Unknown, so the three of them set off to go find it.

Once they arrive, Neptune and Dee help Beetle continue renovating the base, eventually starting up the conversation about Beetle’s situation with Pap.

Beetle is very defensive and shrugs off Dee and Neptune’s concerns for him and their suspicions of Pap.

In order to further warn Beetle about the dangers of Pap, Dee and Neptune talk about the harm caused by Pap’s factory, then bringing up how Sunny and their friends could help solve this problem, thinking that if Beetle finds this solution, Pap will grant him more days off.

They go to Sunny’s workshop and discuss the pollution idea, to which Sunny agrees for the sake of making sure Beetle is okay. Dee again brings up their concerns with Beetle’s relationship with Pap.

They start to argue and eventually Dee storms off.

Beetle then takes Sunny and Ginger to go see the secret base. But once they get there, Beetle falls down the entrance and respawns back in the mansion, where Pap greets him.

Pap reminds Beetle of the arrangement that once he returns to the resort, his days off are up. Beetle tries to persuade Pap that because it wasn’t by choice, it shouldn’t count.

Pap is adamant about the arrangements, so Beetle goes to retrieve his things. Once he returns to the base, he gives Sunny and Ginger a quick tour before turning back to the resort, Neptune, Unknown, Ginger and Sunny tagging along.

Unknown meets Pap for the first time. Pap offers a visa to Neptune, but Neptune is extremely tentative. Beetle tries to convince him, saying that he’s done so much to make sure they can see each other and all Neptune has to do is sign a visa, but Neptune refuses, leaving Beetle in the Resort.

Beetle returns to Pap, clearly upset by the loss of his closest friends. Pap comforts him and reassures him that he’s not alone nor a burden.

After some discussion, Pap decides to let Beetle move into the mansion with him.

Once Beetle is moved in, a couple residents from snowden show up at the front of the resort curious about the visas.

Only 1 of the few end up signing it. Jupy, the sheriff of Snowden, however continues to ask about the concerns he has about the agreements.

Eventually he gets the mayor of Snowden, Mocha, to come discuss the visas with Pap, which turns into a long heated argument.

Eventually, Pap storms off back into the resort. Beetle apologizes profusely to Mocha before going to check on Pap.

Instead of Pap, he finds Jass, one of the two beings that makes up Pap as a whole. Jass, confused to be awake, has no memory of what’s just happened or what any of the Resort is. Beetle catches her up on the gist.

Pissed off to be disturbed by all this, Jass goes back to Snowden and kills Jupy and Mocha [not canonically but y’know]. In an attempt to cool down the situation, Beetle takes Jass to blow off some steam with some TNT someplace else.

To try to get the normal Pap back, Beetle kills Jass. but Jack reamerges instead, the other half of Pap. In a fit of silent rage, Jack goes off and blows up the front of Mocha’s house before running off.

Beetle is left to deal with the consequences of Jack and Jass’s actions.

### “Things Have Gotten a Bit Messy [HALLSSMP] !lore”, twitch.tv/b\_eetle

Beetle, along with Pou and Andy, find Jack at the mansion, who only seems to have somewhat recollections of what happened the day before. Beetle conforms that both he and Jass did in fact commit the actions Jack was afraid of.

Jack is frustrated he let this happen. They go into the mountains and look for a fresh new start.

They find an underground dungeon and start to renovate it into a new home.

Jupy finds them and tells them Mayor Mocha wants to talk to them at the Town Hall.

They go hesitantly, weary if it’s a trap. They meet Mocha at the Town Hall and they begin to discuss signing a truce.

Jack and Beetle talk about it privately. Jack begins to spiral in frustration and stress, Beetle calming him down. They go back and agree to peace but refuse to sign anything.

Mocha mentions an old abandoned amphitheater in the town, Jack taking interest in it, the Mayor takes them to it.

After talking in private more, Jack and Beetle decide to build a house in the town to gain the trust of the mayor and townspeople, while keeping their new underground home as their real base.
