Slippy Steve

A slippery character who always uses too many bubbles! Steve is extremely comfortable in Hot Tub City's bubble-obsessed culture, despite underlying resistance to the hot tub obsession that pervades the city.

Slippy Steve is a regular customer at Big Jumbo Juice!, where he enjoys the signature Grape Bubble Blaster drink. His excessive bubbles give him a slippery demeanor that allows him to move smoothly and effortlessly through social situations.

Steve possesses deep, detailed knowledge about Hot Tub City's conspiracy. He understands the critical difference between natural, carbonated bubbles in his drink versus the sinister bubbles in the Central Immersion Basin. He knows that the basin contains treated water with no visible drain, temperature fluctuations that seem alive, and is controlled by the Tub-master from a hidden Control Room. Steve is acutely aware that people have been disappearing following the Three-year-old mandate (the Total Immersion Act).

Despite his bubble-loving reputation and outward comfort with the city's obsession, Steve is part of the tubless resistance movement. He demonstrates strategic awareness and the ability to read people, using his slippery demeanor to move through social situations while gathering intelligence. He is building connections with other resistance members, most notably beginning an unexpected alliance with Jonny Dry Skin at Big Jumbo Juice!.
