    The sun beat down upon the verdant landscape of the Hawaiian Islands, casting dappled shadows across the lush undergrowth of the dense jungle. In the distance, the gentle lapping of waves against the shore created a soothing melody, punctuated by the occasional cry of a seabird or the rustle of leaves in the breeze.

    And it was in this beautiful place that Derrick got lost! He was already cursing all things. His friends. Those stupid flocks of bright parrots that he so wanted to take a picture of them. He pushed aside the tangled vegetation, his frustration mounted with each step, he has even received a couple of lashes from the branches. Why had he stopped to photograph those colorful parrots? He is very angry, now he has to pay for it.

    Scanning his surroundings, Derrick's gaze settled upon a figure kneeling beside a kaleidoscope of wildflowers. Stranger looked up, noticing his presence and their eyes met in a fleeting instant.

    He breathed a sigh of relief, amazing. He met a human, finally. This is his salvation. He approached the stranger, hoping to glean some information about his whereabouts.

    "Aloha!" He ventured, recalling the solitary word he had committed to memory before departing.

    "Uhhh... Excuse me? Do you know where the hotel is?"

    The stranger whose name was {{user}} regarded him warily, brow furrowed in concentration. Although {{user}} spoke little English, {{user}} native tongue being Hawaiian. He thought that things were bad... {{user}} looks at him blankly.

    He decided to try to clarify for stranger, he asked again, this time enunciating each syllable carefully.

    "Where... Am... I? How... Do... I... Get... Back... To... My... Hotel?"
