Mr E Masque

> *[FROM CONCERN LOGS] ROGUE AGENT. REPORT TO CONTROL IMMEDIATELY.*
>
>

**Mr E Masque** is an antihero operating in Bluff City (and other locations). He is generally considered to be on the wrong side of the law but "mostly trustworthy".

While in Bluff City, he mainly did minor heists. Most notably, he was behind the bank robbery that Hector Hu thought to be done by the coast guard. Although Waxwing believed him to be responsible, Goldfinch believed the evidence was insufficient, and Florence Slowly's case did not come together.

Mr E Masque made his way to Bluffington Beach, where he kidnapped and took the place of Julian H Bluff, and began to use Bluff City Studios for his own gain.

His face is described as being like claymation in appearance, which animates to various emotional states. He also has a horseshoe crab face, indicating that he may have been part of the Concern at one time.

While in Bluff City, he mainly faced off against Goldfinch.

## Abilities

Masque has the ability to fly or at least to float, and can levitate other items.

Although Waxwing believed that he was using a combination of technology and sleight of hand to give the appearance of having powers, he really can transform into object or possibly has illusion powers which can make it appear as though he can (eg turning from a door into a man at the auction in When Justice Is Done).

He can also possess people/take over their minds by making eye contact with them or by cutting them with his chin spike.

In addition to these powers, he can create doorways for himself to walk through, and can use existing doorways as portals to other locations.

Cash 4 Coats

The **Cash4Coats** franchise is owned by Chip "Chip Directly" DiReclio. It is an extremely legitimate clothing business that has three locations across Bluff City.

## Heart of Bluff City Location

Located on the Boardwalk, this location is open 24 hours. It is primarily aimed at tourists, with lots of stuff for tourists to buy including t-shirts that looks like a peacoats with a little button airbrushed on the front that says ‘I went to bluff city and all I got was…” on the front and on the back says "the original cash4coats t-shirt".

## Original Location

Located in the residential area. It has a pawn shop-y charm, filled with stuff people who live in Bluff City would pawn.

## The "Original" Location

Located in a big shopping plaza away from the Boardwalk, this is location that Chip has put the most money into. It is only really used by out of towners.

Inside, Chip Directly serves people from inside a glass box where he can talk to customers via microphone. Over the speakers, top 40 music from forty years ago plays. There are multiple gag coats in his secret rack of good/fancy coats that can come out of the wall, so that the room has the appearance of a laundromat. A robot arm comes out and puts to coat on you.
Samantha’s Bar

**Samantha’s Bar** is one of few nightlife spots left in post-apocalyptic Bluffington Beach. It is run by Samantha.

The Bar itself is longer than it is wide, with big square windows overlooking the sea and a long bar against the back wall. It has tall, polished wood booths, with other booths made from reclaimed from a ferris wheel from the boardwalk.

At the back of the bar is a pantry which Samantha uses as her office. It has a folding table with a big binder on it with a folding chair behind it, a single filing cabinet and a couch.
Gale Green On A Bench

The painting titled '**Gale Green On A Bench**' depicts Gale Green as a little girl in her Sunday dress and a beret in her hair, seated on a bench in front of some trees, in a yard in front of the beach. It was painted by HH (Hector Hu).

It is an enormous painting and has supernatural properties, causing fear in those who look at the painting. Gale's gaze in the painting is described as “deeply judgemental” with “something in the painting is made to communicate something about the gaze of the girl”.

This painting was sold at an auction organised by the Veranda family. This auction was interrupted by a heist-turned-superhero/supervillain battle. This painting is currently in the possession of Waxwing.

Rupert

Rupert, the horrible bird by @aglennco on twitter [1]

Extracurricular: Out Of Time

> *“The meanest bird in Bluff City.”*
>
>

Rupert is an evil, angry bird. He was given his name by Doyle MacKaye.

He is a rare Andian Cock of the Rock/MotMot cross breed, with red-orange feathers and sharp talons (“mostly claws and a beak”). He is also “much, much bigger than [you] thought it was going to be" (around the size of a large eagle).

He was previously owned by the Veranda family patriarch, but escaped during the events of A Bowling Alley, A Boxer, and A Bird. Since that time, Rupert has caused destruction and chaos across Bluff City. When seen in When Justice Is Done, he is seen sporting a tone-on-tone striped neckscarf and helped Grouse by attacking Sonny Veranda.

When seen in Extracurricular: Out Of Time, Rupert has leash with a long chain attached to a jeweled collar. When he was unable to aid in battle he expressed regret to Grouse, meaning that potentially he feels some affection towards Grouse.

His only known weakness is that he cannot swim.

He is yet to be recaptured, and it is unknown if such a thing is even possible.

Ronny Lee Highsmith Jr

**Ronny Lee Highsmith Jr** was born in Bluff City. During his childhood, his family moved to Eastern Kentucky so that his maternal grandfather could help set up a car factory specifically for the kind of vehicles that are able to travel between Bluff City, Blough City, and Bluffington Beach. While there, he often saw robots working at the car factory but he didn’t approach them as they “freak [him] out”.

After his father became ill, his family then moved to Bluffington Beach in order to be closer to the level of medical care his father needs. This has caused some internal conflict for Ronny, as his father will not admit that he is ill, insisting that they are just visiting Bluffington, and dodges the question when Ronny attempts to ask him about it. They are currently staying with Ronny's Aunt Josie in her cramped apartment.

While investigating the disappearance of Britney Namour, Ronny discovered that his family had actually meant to go to Bluff City for his father's care, but were changed to Bluffington as part of the Expansion Protocol. This greatly upset Ronny, as his father would have received a better level of medical care in Bluff City.

Ronny currently attends Bluffington Beach Middle School. He plays trumpet in the school band and is hoping to start a ska band with CC.

When playing Smash 0 with Frank, CC, and Nolan, Ronny does not have a main, as he hasn’t played enough video games to know who he likes.

One of his parents is from Bluff City, and the other is from Bluffington Beach.

He is currently trying to learn the trumpet in order to be a ska band with CC.

He is 11 years old.

Ronny is played by Andrew Lee Swan.

This is his last summer before he leaves for college, as he graduated high school the previous year to the events of America's Playground. As such, he agrees to go along with the hiest with his friends, seeing it as a last hurrah before he leaves.

Patty Fink

Patty Fink by @SeamonsterArt on twitter [1]

**Patty Fink** is a low-level criminal and snitch who was one of Hector Hu’s conspiracy theory sources. On Hector’s show, he would refer to her by the code name Phinkel, which is her real last name. This worked as a code name, as most people who knew Patty knew her as Patty Fink. She was close enough to Hector that she received money from Hector in his will.

She knows a lot of people and a lot of people know her, but she doesn’t have many close friends or allies. In place of this, she will pay people to secure an area if she feels she will be in danger.

She lived in DC for four months, and believes that Michigan is the northern-most state of the US (“continental state! Come on!\*”).

Patty doesn’t deal in information so much as “she deals in dirt”, brokering information transfer and passing rumors and information from person to person for a price. In addition to this, she sells fireworks to kids (the rocket style ones).

Being in the news for helping to solve Hector’s murder expanded Patty’s clientele, bringing her to an upper-to-mid-level criminal (“now I’m a career criminal [...] I’ve decided that if I do what I love, I won’t work a day in my life”). She currently sells information instead of just trading the information between parties, as well as supplying information to a nationally-broadcast conspiracy theorist.

She is described as being tall with broad shoulders and mid-back curly hair.

\*It is not.

Promenade Wrestling

Inside, it is a large, open-plan style area that has been remade into a studio-style apartment, with a small section separated by shower curtain for the bathroom, a bed in the corner, and various personal items (an old CRT tv, a kayak, two pairs of boots, fishing gear, and posters and photos on the walls) scattered around the room. The part of the boathouse that would normally be open to the water has been covered by planks of wood and a rug. The walls are wood paneled, and the entire room smells “like outside has been inside for too long”.

I’m AM, R U?

**I’m AM, R U?** (also called ‘I’m Am’ by some viewers) is a syndicated morning talk show broadcast live daily from Bluff City Studios. It is a cable morning show “shot like it’s Good Morning America” and is described as “not good even for a morning show”.

The show is hosted by Kelly Ferrari, a C-list celebrity actress, and Brad “The Bulldozer” Callahan, a former linebacker for the Eagles. They normally have rotating guests throughout the show (including Dr Bart), however the recent strikes at the Studios have made it difficult to book guests, forcing them to stretch further and further to fill the time.

The set was stylised to during a push to appeal to millennials, with a “fake web 2.0” style  backdrop, with wheel over sets from movies for guest segments (kitchen sets for chef segments, etc).
James Garret

**James Garret** is a music teacher at both the Bluffington Beach Middle and High Schools, and also travels with the school team when they compete in school band competitions. His daughter, Jodie, attends Bluffington Middle School.

He does not like or encourage the "shitty four-chord punk songs" Cory plays in the band room before class, and confiscated Nolan's cassette player and has been using it himself (much to Nolan's ire).

He showed kindness to Ronny by letting him eat lunch in the music room before he was able to make friends after transferring into the school.

When seen in To Be Young Near the Shore, he was dressed like “white dude in his late 30s trying to look professional" in a red sweatervest and tie. He is described as being skinny and in his upper 30s, with a "conservative looking face and haircut".

Jodie O’Brian

Jodie O'Brian by @vlasdygoth on twitter [1]

Growing up, **Jodie O’Brian**’s father was a pro bowler, and she followed in his footsteps, bowling well enough through high school and college to receive a college scholarship for bowling. This skill also aided her in getting her first undercover assignment with the IRS, investigating Sonny Veranda under the guise of being the resident pro bowler at his bowling alley, The Splits under the name of "Jonie O'Brien". She was around 26/27 years old at this time.

After the arrest of Sonny, Jodie’s father was murdered by the Whitaker family in retribution for her meddling in their affairs, and she was blackmailed into working for them as a hitman in addition to continuing to work for the IRS.

Although she and Sonny occasionally cross paths in their new lines of work, their relationship is much colder than it previously had been when they worked together at the bowling alley.
Boots Bonus

**Boots Bonus** was an intern at the Bluff City Zoo who worked primarily under Never Watson-Wiley, as he attempted to work on his spokesperson skills, however the Zoo rarely let him host press conferences.

While interning at the Zoo, he and Darren Cruiser convinced Dax Leopard to transfer one of his lionesses to the Trenton Zoo. After this caused the lion to become "bummed out", Boots helped to get the lioness back and to host a wedding ceremony for the lions.

Despite this, Never did not give him a very positive internship report (“lets other zoo employees get him caught up in absurd schemes rather than doing assigned work, needs heavy management, is not independent, is not a self-starter”), and he did not receive college credit from his internship there.

Boots is described as a skinny white kid. He is seen wearing an oversized impermeable coat (“it can’t get in! What’s the it in that sentence? I don’t know!”).
Elliott Callahan

**Elliot Callahan** was a representative of the Callahan Corporation, which is largely credited with introducing barrel music to Bluff City during the 1800s. He is also credited for composing and/or recording many barrel music songs (to mixed success), and wrote extensively about barrel music culture at that time. He was also noted for his affection for horses, going so far as to compose a song about one of the notable horses on boardwalk, Princeton, "the mild mannered Clydesdale" who pulled a wagon for Princeton Powdered Sugar.
Melinda Guppy

**Melinda Guppy** is a young woman who worked at Gadgets By Guppy on Kingfish Pier in Bluff City in 1899. This stall is owned by her father and sells elaborate beachside inventions. It is a job Melinda deeply hates, and she is always looking for an opportunity to quit.

She is a huge fan of the barrel music (“[the songs] all sound the same but I’ll swear that they don’t”).

She is described as tall and thin, with two tight braids and a scowling expressions. When seen in America's Playground, she is dressed in a simple navy dress with her grey uniform apron over the top of it. She keeps her sleeves rolled up, as her father's most recent inventions, a reverse periscope used for looking underwater, requires her to keep having to put her hands in the water in order to demonstrate it.

Extracurricular: Out Of Time

## Overview

Extracurricular: Out Of Time is the third arc of Season Two of Bluff City. It was played using the Capers system. The first episode was released on June 25th 2020.

## Music

Extracurricular: Out of Time by Jack de Quidt.

## Other Episode Information

The character sheets for this arc can be found on Patreon (you must be a member of the Friends at the Table Patreon to see this).
The Cultural Trust

The Cultural Trust operates under the guidance of Arts Steward Waxon Wayne, as a censorship bureau dressed up as a grant-giving arts foundation in Blough City.

The Trust is separated into satellite office divided by sub-section of the arts including Architecture, Journalism, Film, amoung others.

The seal of the Cultural Trust is a government-style seal with the words ‘The Cultural Trust’ and a lady justice-style figure with an eagle head, holding scales in one hand. The scales have a feather on the high side and little lead balls on the other. The lady justice figure has a blindfold in the other hand that she is holding “like a sword” as though she is “going to blindfold *you*”.

## Architecture Office

This office is responsible for signing off on all building designs in Blough City.

### County Zoning Board

The Metropolis grows endlessly, but pulls from a small bucket of possible structures. The zoning board is the only authority which may approve new designs.

### Signed Development Contract

This piece of paper is what you need to introduce a new building into the development pool-and because the owner of the contract gets exclusive development rights, it may as well be a blank check.

## Film Office

The Film Office is a satellite office of the Trust. The front of the building says 'TRUST' in big impact serif font. The inside of the building itself is modeled after a bank building, with the seal of the cultural trust on the lobby floor as you enter reception desk, desks where people are working in the reception area, a place where you can deposit and withdraw things, a vault, viewing rooms on the floor above, reading nooks to look over files with magnifying glasses and microfiche readers.

Inside the personnel file room, one wall is one long space heater, and the room contains rows and rows of filing cabinets with the files themselves sorted in a confusing way (by section (director, actor, etc), but also alphabetical and genre (ie western, drama, war film).
Agent Heard

**Agent Heard** is a Deep Blue level Agent with the Concern. During his early days with the Concern, he was mentored by Hector Hu.

After Hector began to work against the Concern, Heard came under investigation by the Concern. His mission during Messy Business was a probationary mission to prove himself both in the role of lead agent and to prove his loyalty to the Concern. Instead, he followed Hector to Bluffington, joining him in the creation of an organisation to fight against the Concern.

His current whereabouts are unknown.

During Messy Business, he is dressed like someone who might work in the Countinghouse district (a three-piece grey suit with a herringbone wool blazer), and a black neckwarmer as a disguise.

Lou-Ellen Llewellyn

Lou-Ellen Llewellyn with Keith Carberry by @aglennco on twitter [1]

**Lou-Ellen Llewellyn** is the mascot for the Bluff City Blackjacks.

They first heard about Earth when their Uncle Chez (not this Chez, a different one) went on vacation to Earth and never returned (he stayed, becoming known on Earth as The Mothman).

The documentary of Earth to prove it's worth as a planet is their main project, and the stress associated with wanting the show to be good adds to their high-strung personality and workaholic tendencies. Despite this, they are easily distracted.

Normally, they wear the team mascot costume to disguise their alien form (as they are “too alien to really hide”), which looks similar to a Garden Tiger Moth, with "big ol' wings" and a very fuzzy body with "weird gangly limbs".
Caterena Pontacorvo

**Caterena "Cattie" Pontacorvo** is a young woman who works as a photographer's aid at the Arvo And Stacks Photography Studio on Kingfish Pier in Bluff City in 1899. She is somewhat of an outsider and despite the fact that she often looks bored or tired, she is highly passionate about working as a photographer and is angling to get promoted in order to be able to do her own photography projects and have her name added to the photography studio where she works. Currently she is not allowed to work on her own projects, and mainly is responsible for assisting Arvo and Stack and taking the "less important" portraits. Many people believe she is wasting her time with this technical, dangerous field. Despite her passion for the work, she will sometimes sneak behind the shop to smoke, hiding the cigarette so that she can finish it at a later time.

She was born in Windsor, and her family moved to Bluff City when she was a young child.

She is described as being petite, with dark eyes, a pale, flushed complexion (like rosacea), and fluffy, shoulder-length, cropped blonde hair which she keeps pinned up in such a way that you can't tell that it's cropped. When seen in America's Playground, she is wearing a striped wrap dress with a blouse underneath and a necktie. When not at work, she favours a bicycle suit (a dress with pants underneath).

Lounge

**Lounge** is a semi-dive bar in Countinghouse in Blough City. It operates 24 hours.

It "looks like someone’s unfinished basement" with a pool table and booths with red vinyl padding with stained glass between them that say the word 'Lounge' in stained glass.

Lounge has a big display of movie monster masks in the window, which are good quality but are faded and falling apart. As you enter, there is a poster that says "whispers and words only" (by "words" they mean hand-written notes, similar to the operation of CD-BAR).

Red Stevens

**Red Stevens** is an old veteran wrestler who started in the late 80s (pre-Promenade Wrestling).

He debuted as "Hot Rod" Red Stevens, which was a golden boy/Spingsteen type gimmick (“he fixed cars, he wanted to be the best there ever was”). The gimmick never really got over with the audience, the merchandise (including the Hot Rod toys) didn't sell, and Red left to wrestle in the mid-atlantic.

Years late, he returned as Blackjack, a masked vigilante type. His face was disguised with black face paint in a card face motif. When this still proved to be unpopular with fans, he cut a promo where he slowly wiped the face paint off in-ring (“you know who I am”).

He now wrestles as a Steve Austin/Dusty Rhodes-style anti-hero everyman. He is technically a face, but is more of an anti-hero than his initial golden boy gimmick.

His entrance song is a hard rock cover of ‘Born to Run’ by Bruce Springsteen.

He is described as hot, with short hair that's starting to go grey, and a beard.
Kingfish Pier

**Kingfish Pier** is an outdoor mall n Bluff City. Although it was originally a very popular section of the boardwalk, it began to lose business after the opening of the Golden Fortune mall.

In an attempt to bring in new customers towards the end of summer in 1899, a hot air balloon attraction was installed, staffed by a rotation of staff from other stalls and shops along the Kingfish Pier.

## Stalls and Shops

* Gadgets By Guppy
* Arvo And Stacks Photography Studio
* Funnel Cake By Stand

Deshaun Williams

**Deshaun Williams** was a security guard at Bluff City Studios, although he quit in solidarity with the writer’s strike (and also due to the series of strange occurrences he experienced during The Moving Pictures).

When we first see Deshaun, it is clear that he thinks he and Bart are friends, and that Bart does not, however by the end of The Moving Pictures the two seem to have a more genuine closeness.

He is dedicated a basketball fan.

When seen in The Moving Pictures, Deshaun is wearing his grey and blue Bluff City Studios security uniform.
Bluff City Zoo

> *“The Bluff City Zoo was a world-class institution, visited by locals and travelers alike. In the late 20th Century it was an iconic zoo, admired and beloved, it’s animals were content, it’s visitors happy, it’s staff respected. Chairman of the Zoo Board, D.E. Hitchcock the Fourth, welcomed people to the grounds with beaming pride as his father had for a generation before.*
>
>

> *Now, D.E. Hitchcock is dead, the community takes the zoo for granted, attendance is down, the Zoo withers. The zookeepers grow desperate. Money is tight. Other, more successful zoos, in other cities (fuck Trenton) sniff around the place, looking to take away animals and staff.”*
>
>

**The Bluff City Zoo** is located in the north of Bluff City, past the casinos, towards the mainland and into a marshland area. Part of the march was drained and reinforced it with concrete for the Zoo to be built on.

The staff uniform is a half-sized apron with deep pockets and an embroidered vest with your name and what area you work in. Staff must also wear a nice shirt (that they purchase).

## Attractions at the Zoo

* Aviary
* Elephants (removed due to a painting incident)
* Great cats!
* Pachyderms
* Peacock Park, where the daily zoo press briefings occur. It has a storeroom that is decorated with a ugly mural done by local 5th graders.

* Conservation exhibit presented by the local chapter of the Bluff City Nature Preservationist Society, includes a mural with quotes about nature written on it (located between the bathrooms and the gift shop).
* CyberZoo/"How Would Animals Use The Internet?”: an exhibit aimed at children with displays of technology that animals were supposed to able to use, including a wall-sized dot matrix printer to print out things from the internet for the animals to read (as screens are bad for animal eyes). The bird section of this exhibit has a little fake tree with keyboard keys hanging off of it. This is the exhibit that Dax Leopard was passed over for.
* Zoo Cafe, which has a 3/3 star health rating and provides breakfast, lunch, tea, high tea, dinner and evening dinner.

Elouise Salt

**Elouise Salt** is a young woman who worked at Father's Candy Shope on Kingfish Pier in Bluff City in 1899. She dislikes when people ask if her surname is related to the candy they sell (it is). Her father also taught her how to fish, and she is familiar with fishing equipment.

She is described as being a nerd in the "try hard" sense, as she feels a great deal of pressure from both her family to be the best daughter she can be and from her white teachers and other authority figures. Although her family is close they do not often get to go out together as a group, due to the racism of the era towards her black mother.

Their family motto is "your word is the number one thing you can give someone so make sure to be honest in all circumstances especially those that would benefit you if you had lied and keep in mind that if you do lie that you're a bad person" (in Latin, though Elouise doesn't know Latin).

She is described as being a light-skinned black woman (although explicitly not light-skinned enough to "pass"), with curly hair that she keeps under a "classic I'm-working-with-food" kerchief and big freckled cheeks. When seen in America's Playground, she is wearing a white blouse and a deep blue skirt with small while polka dots on it.

Miss Maxwell

**Miss Amy Maxwell** is the librarian at Bluffington Beach Middle School. In her younger days she often travelled between Bluff, Blough, and Bluffington, although she has since settled in Bluffington permanently.

As a devil, Miss Maxwell is quite knowledgeable about ghosts and their associated dangers. She doesn’t discuss ghosts with the other teachers as they are “not interested”.

She does not hold value in money, and as such is difficult to bribe.

When seen in To Be Young Near the Shore, she is described as having frizzy hair and wearing a shirt under a sweater.

Although he has been the team owner for many years, as of the pilot episode of Aliens in the Outfield he has yet to win the pennant.

He often carries a cigar, but does not smoke. It is implied that he is waiting until the pennant win to smoke his cigar.

He is 57 years old, and was born in October.

He is described as a silver fox, with stark white hair and deep-set eyes. When seen in Aliens in the Outfield, he is wearing a monogrammed bathrobe and pajamas.

It is organised by Georgia Heights.

## Previous HoneyCons

Agent Duke

**Agent Duke** is a Concern agent who works in Cursor Menomic Exploration (CME). He trained under Agent Wagner and was the mentor agent to Chris Andrews.

An incident while in Blough City caused him to leave the city suddenly during a mission, and his subsequent reinsertion proved impossible for unknown reasons. After this time he was taken off active assignments. He has a laid back attitude about this change of assignment.

He does still have a presence in Blough City, although he is not active in the missions there the way that lower-level agents are. He finds his current work “challenging in a different way”.

He is known for his clever mind and quick wit. He often chews gum.
Darren Cruiser

**Darren Cruiser** was the pachyderm habitat keeper at the Bluff City Zoo and is currently attempting to run his own company organising animal weddings. He is described as a “wicked fun guy” and “a coworker you have who parties a lot but who does a good job”.

While at the Bluff City Zoo, he was enthusiastic about his job (“you can’t just take the job and only care for one animal”), and was promoted from peccary keeper to pachyderm keeper. He collaborated with his friend Dax Leopard to create fake exhibits as a way to save the Zoo money and generate interest in the exhibits.

He and Dax are close friends inside and outside work, and use their shared Netflix account to watch Netflix while the animals they are keepers of “hang out”.

Dax and Darren also have a secret handshake they do to indicate that they are on the same page with one another (the "bro page"), where they hold their hands in front of them as though they are reading a book and then point a finger to their palm as thought they were pointing at a line in the book. They then say “bro page” aloud.

After collaborating with Boots Bonus to convince Dax to transfer one of his lionesses to the Trenton Zoo, he was affected by how "bummed out" the lion that remained was, and worked to get the lioness back. He then organised the lions vow renewal.

After this, he became frustrated by his lack of promotion at the Bluff City Zoo, and transferred to the Trenton Zoo in an attempt to get a higher-level position. When this did not happen, he tried to get out of his contract with the Trenton Zoo to return to the Bluff City Zoo, but this was not possible and so he quit to follow his dreams of performing animal weddings. After performing a chicken wedding at a Trenton school this business began to take off, however bad press about the lion wedding (and other schemes he was involved in while at the Bluff City Zoo) made it to Trenton, and his animal wedding licence was not renewed.

Prior to the Fiasco episode, his girlfriend moved to Trenton resulting in their break-up (it was “the worst he’s ever felt”).

Darren looks like some of the men in the 'British Lads Hitting Each Other With Chairs' video (specifically the one who picks the cigarette off the ground). He is in his late teens to early 20s, with a fit build, slicked back hair, and wears a hoodie with the sleeves cut off and pants that are a little too big for him with his shirt tucked into his belt.
Bluffington Beach Middle School

**Bluffington Beach Middle School** is located off the Black Horse Pike in Bluffington Beach. They share the library with the Bluffington Beach High School, although the campus's are separate.

Led by Mr Garret, the school band competes with other schools from Blough and Bluff City, playing mostly orchestral or jazz standards. During the competitions, Mr Garret makes the kids put a tape recorder at their feet as they play, so they can review the tape on the way home in order to better hear themselves and evaluate their performance.
