**Chaos in Paradise** is a Spectre quest released for the GL Summer 2020 event for the Global version of Crash Fever.

At some point in time, at Pnakotus headquarters, Shub-Niggurath begins a conversation with the other members about going to the beach to relax. Ubbo-Sathla argues that this isn't the time for it, but Shub-Niggurath points out that Dream Kingdom isn't doing anything at the moment. The two argue while Cthugha just mutters about Nyarlathotep. Tsathoggua comes in, remarking that they are being quite noisy, and points out that this is the first time in a while that the weather has been nice. Shub-Niggurath agrees, and says that she just wants to go to the beach and enjoy it with the others. Hastur, arriving, says that that is nonsense, and a holiday is best spent in solitude.

Shub-Niggurath then says that, in that case, Hastur can go off to an island alone while they all have some fun. Hastur remarks that that was his plan, and calls Ubbo-Sathla forth. He says that he needs some peace and quiet, yet he can't leave things unattended, so he will put Ubbo-Sathla in charge while he is gone. Hastur orders Ubbo-Sathla to make sure no one goes anywhere until he returns. Tsathoggua states that she is fine with it so long as things are quiet. Dismayed, Shub-Niggurath says she thought Tsathoggua was on her side, and then asks Cthugha what she thinks. Cthugha just mumbles more about Nyarlathotep. Hastur says that the matter is settled, and bids them farewell as he leaves.

On some isolated island, Hastur relaxes on holiday. However, a grumbling noise comes from nearby, and great beams of light appear all over the island. Hastur is shocked, and asks what is going on. On the beach, Cassiopeia emerges from one of the beams of light, and says that someone will pay dearly for doing this to her. Patjui and Jang Hui-bin arrive from another one, also confused about the situation. Cancer and Dagon try to get their bearings.

The adapter appears from another beam of light, and Cassiopeia asks if they were the ones behind this. Cancer says that the adapter only has the ability to be summoned, not to summon others. Patjui wonders who did it, and Cassiopeia points out that since they are the only ones on the island it has to be one of them. Nobody says anything, so Cassiopeia says she will just have to deal with all of them.

Jang Hui-bin just says that would be lame, and says everything will sort itself out but for now they should look at the beach. She suggests that they all go and play in the water, saying that she just wants to dive in and splash around. Dagon expresses interest, and Jang Hui-bin asks if anyone else wants to come. Cancer remarks that the sea would be safer than anywhere else at the moment.

Cassiopeia points out that they will never get anywhere if they just mess around, and Patjui agrees, although she says that they could at least play a little. Cassiopeia tells her that, if Patjui helps her, they can play later. Patjui agrees to do so, but asks Cassiopeia to make it quick. Jang Hui-bin, Cancer, and Dagon go to the beach, while Cassiopeia wonders how they can be so calm about it. Patjui says that it does look fun, but then she wonders where her sister is.

They go up the beach with the adapter, and soon run into Hastur. Hastur asks who they are and how they got there, and asks them to leave immediately. Patjui just comments that his glasses look cool, and asks if his outfit is using actual gold. He just asks in response if Patjui's splash gun is a real gun. Cassiopeia accuses Hastur of being the one behind this, but he denies it and says that it must be their fault. Cassiopeia points out that it was Hastur who abducted them and brought them to the island, but he says that he believes it was they who intruded on his island.

Patjui asks what he means, and he says that this beach is under his domain. She says you can't own a beach, but Hastur asks why not. Patjui argues that there are rules, but Hastur responds that there are no rules here, only his decree. Hastur asks them once again to leave the beach. Cassiopeia says they will leave, so long as he can show them the way. However, at that moment, a grumbling noise is heard, and some purple mist appears. It envelopes Patjui, much to her panic. Hastur asks what is going on, as he had nothing to do with it. Cassiopeia says that she doesn't believe him.

Cassiopeia asks Patjui if she is alright, but Patjui just says "Stay...". Cassiopeia points out that they need to find a way to get back, as they don't know anything about the island. Patjui refuses, saying that she wants to stay and play. She begins to throw a fit, much to Hastur's annoyance. Cassiopeia says that they need to calm her down, to which Hastur agrees. Cassiopeia asks the adapter for help, and the adapter agrees.

Patjui fights them, while mentioning that she feels like something old and mystical is giving her power and talking to her. Despite her efforts, she is defeated, and she mutters a name, "Hymir".

Patjui calms down, and apologizes as she didn't know what came over her. Cassiopeia tells her not to worry about it, while remarking that she thinks "that weirdo" was the one behind it. Hastur sarcastically remarks that of course he, who wanted them off his island, would have manipulated them to stay. He then argues that it was likely that they brought some problem with them when they invaded his island. He also points out that the others in the water don't seem to be affected by what just happened.

Cassiopeia and Patjui look at the beach, where they see the others playing freely. Cassiopeia and Patjui get angry that they are just messing around, and decide to go together to knock some sense into the others. As they arrive, however, they suddenly are amazed by the beach. Patjui says that it wouldn't hurt to play some in the water, to which Cassiopeia has suddenly felt more agreeing to. Jang Hui-bin greets them, and asks what took them so long. Cassiopeia says that they were trying to figure out what was going on, but Patjui says that they can just have some fun now. Cassiopeia then decides that they might as well have some fun.

Cassiopeia jumps into the water with Patjui, and says that she never thought it would feel so good. Patjui asks Cassiopeia if she has never been to the beach before, and Cassiopeia responds that she hasn't. Jang Hui-bin asks if that means Cassiopeia hasn't been splashed either, prompting Cassiopeia to ask what she means. They tell her to close her eyes, and when she does so they splash water in her face, much to her annoyance. She splashes them back, and then she realizes that it is fun to do it.

While they are doing so, she asks what happened to the others. Dagon suddenly jumps out of the water at them, startling Jang Hui-bin. Jang Hui-bin splashes her back in response, and they start splashing each other. Hastur observes from a distance, wondering what exactly is going on. The golem next to Hastur begins to grumble some, and he calls out the golem by name - Hymir.

Cassiopeia asks Jang Hui-bin what happened to Cancer, and Jang Hui-bin says that he had left earlier to assist them. She says that Cassiopeia should have seen him, but Patjui says that it doesn't matter as he can probably take care of himself. They continue playing in the water. Meanwhile, Hastur speaks with Hymir, remarking that it has been ages since they last spoke. Hastur asks Hymir to share his wisdom, and suggests that they have a drink together. At that moment, however, Cancer arrives, and says that it is sweet that he has some drinks. Cancer remarks that he had thought something was missing. Hastur sighs, and says he had almost forgotten about Cancer being there.

The story is continued in Golem Concoction.

## Trivia

* The background used in the story quests at Hastur's relaxation point is the background originally used for Fraud Appears!.
* Kong-jui appears in the quest itself, but is never mentioned as being there in the story; either it is non-canon, or it is Patjui making use of the same technology that she used in The Story of Kong-jui and Patjui.
