Eternal Lies 9: Hospital Horrors and Nautical Nightmares
With a few nagging leads remaining the investigators set about looking into Donovan's yacht and pay a visit to the hospital, discovering things they'd expected and things they hadn't even guessed at.

Fast time on eternal lives.
5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,560
With Donovan's holdings
seemingly unassailable, our
6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,640
investigators hatched 1/2 Baked
plan to snatch the man or his
7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,160
wife.
While Falk and Kilworth went on
8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,520
a bohemian expedition to the
local Playhouse, Kane and Morgan
9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,960
tailed Donovan across the city.
Though the Opera House seemed a
10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,400
dead end for now, Colin Cain
found new leads in a visit to
11
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,920
the intensive care ward and a
stop at the graveyard, revealing
12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,600
Mrs. Donovan to have passed
precisely when the testament
13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,240
described an increase in
production of the nefarious
14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,520
nectar the cult trades in.
Once the team regrouped with
15
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,360
this new information, the
decision was made to split up
16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:53,960
the books from Trammell's
estate.
17
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,520
And while some were left shaken
by their reading, Kay Morgan
18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,600
found herself in the possession
of a strange new power that just
19
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,560
might help tip the odds in their
direction.
20
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,720
The die is cast.
The pact is sealed.
21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,040
May God have mercy on our souls.
It's Daniel's dread tails.
22
00:01:24,990 --> 00:01:27,470
I'm your game master.
Daniel Fernandez.
23
00:01:27,470 --> 00:01:29,920
Ski him.
I'm Damien eBay.
24
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,080
I'll be playing.
Reginald Gilbert I'm Nathan and
25
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,160
I am playing JB Faulk, a writer.
And Russell, they them.
26
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,280
And I'll be playing Colin King,
Private Eye.
27
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,000
I'm Renee Shih.
They and I will be playing
28
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:51,040
Doctor K Morgan Shihar.
Well, everybody, after restless
29
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,400
nights, either from reading
horrible books or being woken up
30
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,760
by people who read horrible
books, you now face another day
31
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,920
in scenic Malta.
Where we're going to do horrible
32
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,200
things.
Almost certainly, mate.
33
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,800
You don't have to do anything
horrible.
34
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,880
I guess we haven't done the
horrible things, it's just that
35
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,640
horrible things have happened to
us, which is arguably worse.
36
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,400
Yeah, I mean, let's face it,
we're probably going to do
37
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,120
something horrible too.
Yeah, yeah.
38
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,480
And worse things have happened
to us.
39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,400
As you go outside in the
morning, I don't know who's the
40
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,280
first one outside, but there's a
dead goal rotting in the street,
41
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,040
half crushed by passing cars,
it's feathers matted and
42
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,960
sticking with blood.
Breakfast.
43
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,000
Well, that's an ominous thing to
see first thing in the morning.
44
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,960
You know, IA couple days I'm
describing like, oh, it's so
45
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,400
nice here.
The weather was beautiful.
46
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,600
There's a guy plucking a guitar.
Just thought I'd maybe give you
47
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,920
a different description this
morning.
48
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:58,040
Yeah, though to be fair, hearing
about roadkill just makes me
49
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,960
think of home.
I don't know what the drivers of
50
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,840
my town have against squirrels,
but it's bad whatever it is they
51
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,640
have.
Gotcha.
52
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,800
Same but dear.
All right, so as you set up shop
53
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,480
and compare notes over your
morning breakfast, what does the
54
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,440
conversation turn to?
Is there anything else people
55
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,560
are doing in the morning before
they come to breakfast, you
56
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,880
know?
More frantic calisthenics.
57
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,360
Got it.
Now I know what I'm running
58
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:28,640
from.
Oh.
59
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,320
God.
Every day is like day if you're
60
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,960
running from your problems.
I would be feeling quite
61
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,920
unsettled by the whole
hyperspace gate thing.
62
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,240
I will probably talk to Kearns
briefly about it.
63
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,760
When you try to talk to Kearns,
he is kind of ignoring you a
64
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,080
little bit.
He just seems distracted.
65
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,240
Oh that's I hope everything's
OK.
66
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,320
Yes.
I mean, it's obviously
67
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,120
unsettling, but I suppose I can
deal.
68
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,280
You seem troubled, Franklin.
Is Is there something wrong?
69
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,200
It's nothing, just just some bad
dreams.
70
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:23,960
That's honesty.
He's been having some nightmares
71
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,640
lately and he is afraid to tell
you about them.
72
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:37,000
Oh, you, you know you don't need
to put up a facade in front of
73
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,320
me, right?
Yeah, but it's, you know, I just
74
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,280
these it just it was really
weird.
75
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:48,240
This is weird.
It's fine.
76
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,600
Don't.
Don't worry about it.
77
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:55,080
Well, whenever you feel ready to
talk about it, I will be there
78
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,080
for you.
Thanks.
79
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,240
Thanks.
It's fine.
80
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,000
Just more proof we need to get
this this done.
81
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,480
Yeah.
And we proceed with our
82
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,280
breakfast.
Breakfast time.
83
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:13,480
So what's the plan for today?
We wanted to break into the ICU
84
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,960
today, didn't we?
Well, I know I was going to do
85
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,120
that.
Yeah, I don't know if that's a
86
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,160
four person job, but at the same
time I don't know what the other
87
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,720
two people would be doing.
Well, both the Opera House and
88
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,400
the Brave are currently a no go.
They're kind of pointless.
89
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:37,640
That leaves maybe finding a way
into the townhouse or checking
90
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,040
out the yacht.
I was gonna say we haven't
91
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,840
really looked into the yacht
yet.
92
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,320
Partially that's because there's
no way to approach a yacht
93
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,960
without being seen, but I guess
that's why binoculars exist.
94
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,560
When it comes right down to it,
gentlemen, there is a way as of
95
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,240
last night.
Oh yeah.
96
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:05,120
Oh yeah.
You also could just get a boat.
97
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,480
Like I know you're talking about
using a mystical thing that
98
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,280
would either drive you mad or
have you sacrifice your own
99
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:17,080
blood to teleport.
You also could like get a boat
100
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,120
and go over to the but like.
We're talking about being
101
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,880
approached and seen though,
right?
102
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,680
Yeah, like undetected.
The problem is we're trying to
103
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,320
keep a low profile and the ocean
has no cover.
104
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,000
Well, there's always the cover
of darkness.
105
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,200
Yeah.
The trouble is I have not seen
106
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,320
the inside of the yacht so.
Exactly.
107
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:44,400
So here's what I suggest we take
the time today, scope out the
108
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,240
yacht rents or buy a boat.
And when it gets dark, I can get
109
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,680
whichever of us want to go out
there.
110
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,360
Out there.
I have a little bit of
111
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,560
experience with boats.
All right, so we've got our two
112
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,840
objectives for the day.
How do we go about the boat?
113
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:05,400
What do we what do we do?
Like, do we try to get on it in
114
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,000
broad daylight?
Here's what I suggest Those of
115
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,760
us who are going to the yacht go
scope out the situation, go
116
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,880
procure the boat, and then when
night falls, we take the boat
117
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,560
out to the yacht.
That can be done while two of us
118
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,000
are going to the ICU.
All right.
119
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,920
If you guys want, I could just
get you a boat current
120
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,520
volunteers like I I could handle
that.
121
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,600
If you're I mean it's.
It's your call but.
122
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,440
I don't think the security of
our rooms is a little bit more
123
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,960
important at this point, and
also I personally would like you
124
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,480
to have as much plausible
deniability as possible.
125
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,840
That's true.
If anybody needs plausible
126
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,480
deniability, it is the person
who we need the most.
127
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,000
Free for when we need to get the
fuck out.
128
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,680
While the boat team is out
procuring the boat, it would
129
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,720
also behoove you take some
binoculars and scout the yacht
130
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,760
and the docks where the yacht
parks.
131
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,360
Docks.
That that's more suggested.
132
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,320
Yeah, OK.
Sleeps.
133
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,720
Sorry, just, you know,
confirming, putting it all
134
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,840
floats.
I'm an intelligent man.
135
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:32,320
JB gives an awkward thumbs up.
I I pat you on the shoulder.
136
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,679
Damn, how am I the sane one?
How did that happen?
137
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:41,039
I'm still sane.
Oh yeah, I'm still sane, I'm
138
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:44,240
just actively speed running.
That not being the case, that's
139
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,200
all.
Yeah, but they do keep reading
140
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,280
books that are actually not that
detrimental.
141
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,960
Yeah, I've been kind of lucky
thus far.
142
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:57,440
Kind of unlucky.
All right, well, tonight I'm
143
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,600
reading a book and we're just
gonna see how that goes.
144
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:06,280
Oh, no, no, no.
OK, so who's going where?
145
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,840
OK, Team Hospital.
Hospital.
146
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,560
I guess that puts me and
Reginald on team boat.
147
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,160
Unless.
Were these the teams from?
148
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:21,560
Before, yes, OK, I think it just
keeps working out that way.
149
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:23,240
Unless there's a third thing we
need to.
150
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,920
Look at I think we should fully
scope out the everything before
151
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,760
we go about the kidnapping.
In the perfect world, yes,
152
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,480
that's the way it's going to
happen.
153
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,160
But.
Yeah, who The Who the hell knows
154
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,320
how this is going to go?
The joke kidnapping that is
155
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,200
Currents.
Well, let's JB, let's head up to
156
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,480
somewhere where we can check out
that yacht.
157
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:47,960
Sounds sounds good.
OK.
158
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,600
And with that, Reginald downs
the cup of coffee that he was
159
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,760
kind of nursing and and gets up
from the table.
160
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,440
JV also grabs something down to
it and then quickly stops up.
161
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,480
That was Maple syrup.
That was Maple syrup.
162
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:07,240
All right, let's see what
happens over at Hospital
163
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,200
Superblysema.
Sounds pleasant, Super Nintendo.
164
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,840
Yeah, it's a It's a nice place.
This definitely is an old
165
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,400
building, though it looks like
it's relatively modernized.
166
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:25,440
The hospital Supervisima is
built in a much older building.
167
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,400
It looks like it's a sprawling
mansion, or was at one point,
168
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:36,840
and has been recently ish
converted into a modest little
169
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,360
hospital.
It's six stories tall.
170
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:44,680
It's made-up of sturdy stone and
it's kind of cramped and dark
171
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:48,720
for a hospital.
There are big, tall like windows
172
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:53,160
for the outer rooms, which led
in a lot of light, but the rooms
173
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,280
that are a little deeper in much
darker.
174
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,800
How do you intend to approach
it?
175
00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:00,840
Well, on our approach, what
floor was the ICU on?
176
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,960
I believe I said that was the
third floor.
177
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,120
OK, just in case we have to get
creative.
178
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,360
Oh, God.
Well, Kay, how are you with
179
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,560
disguises?
Renee wants to say that she owns
180
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:16,120
a sexy nurse outfit, but Kay
would not say that.
181
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,560
Probably.
I mean, who knows, We'll see.
182
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,280
Well, I did take a drama class
in college, so.
183
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,880
Do you actually have the skill
disguises?
184
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,760
No.
So I took a drama class in
185
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,280
college.
Means you think you know
186
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,400
disguises, but absolutely.
Yeah, it means I have worn like
187
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,720
a top hat once.
Yeah, I'm better at stealth.
188
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,080
I'm I can be rather unassuming.
Well, I'm not too good at the
189
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,920
stealth, but I clean up pretty
good.
190
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,120
How about I find us a set of
scrubs each and we take it from
191
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,520
there?
I'll trust you.
192
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,840
I of course set myself up to
look like a doctor and I
193
00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:01,880
acquired ninja style scrubs 4K.
Ninja style scrubs.
194
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,080
Yes, they're much more stuff.
I don't know if I know what
195
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,880
ninja scrubs are.
They're a darker color.
196
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,960
They cover your whole face, not
just the the mouth.
197
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,760
There's a lot of pockets for
syringes, samples and deadly
198
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,320
throwing knives.
So basically you're going to put
199
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,000
me on a stretcher and cover me
with a sheet?
200
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,640
Or that.
I can be a convincing corpse.
201
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,760
I could say you could get Doctor
Morgan scrubs.
202
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,400
I don't know about ninja style
scrubs.
203
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,440
Just because that definitely
doesn't exist.
204
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,920
Yeah, I, you know, that's sort
that's one of the issues.
205
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,000
I guess that makes sense.
OK, make me a disguise role
206
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,560
difficulty 5.
And what my points have reset?
207
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:48,920
I have not reset them since
before we got to Malta.
208
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,880
They should have reset when you
got to Malta, but that's the
209
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,480
only time they've reset.
Fair.
210
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,880
Well, I nailed it with A7.
Yay.
211
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,840
OK, goddamn.
Hopefully that sets the tone for
212
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,760
everybody else for tonight.
No, that's not how it works with
213
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:08,080
my role.
OK, you are now in the hospital.
214
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,040
Congratulations.
And I disguise Kay as maybe a
215
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,680
little too convincing of a
corpse.
216
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,960
OK, Kay's a corpse, huh?
Yeah.
217
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,320
Good thing I didn't wear makeup
today is.
218
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,440
This a good idea?
What was that voice I just
219
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,760
heard?
OK, where are you bringing the
220
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,600
corpse?
I see you.
221
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,360
Well, maybe not a corpse corpse,
but like somebody in severe need
222
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,960
of, you know, urgent care.
Intensive care.
223
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,200
Yeah, there you go.
Thank you.
224
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,720
The intensive care ward is
mostly empty.
225
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,720
There are two rooms with people
in the room 3 O four and three O
226
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,280
3.
Well, I guess we'll check out
227
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,800
three O 3 first injured person.
All right.
228
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,360
Yeah, just talking to this.
Kay does not say anything.
229
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,880
She is acting.
So you get up there and you see
230
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:06,920
that there is a young boy who's
lying in the bed there with an
231
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,920
IV or two put into him.
How do they do this?
232
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,600
Something that there's a
clipboard.
233
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,040
You know there is a clipboard by
his bed.
234
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,120
What's the clipboard say?
It says the doctor is Doctor
235
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:28,640
Salazio and he is being treated
by A well.
236
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,680
Do you have medicine skill?
No, but I know someone who does.
237
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,480
Does Kay have medicine skill?
I have first aid, not medicine.
238
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:36,960
What?
Who had medicine then?
239
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,400
I thought it was you that.
Would be JB.
240
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,240
Fuck.
I'm pretty sure JB is the one
241
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,680
with medicine.
That's right, yeah.
242
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,200
OK.
Oh God.
243
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,080
We're really good at this.
We are.
244
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,800
Perhaps somebody who is
knowledgeable about medicine
245
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,720
could have come to the hospital.
Hey, you know thing about
246
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,040
clipboards.
Fuck.
247
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,800
Pretty portable.
OK.
248
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,920
Are you going to steal this at
least just?
249
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,800
Probably have other backups.
Does it at least say the kids
250
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,760
name?
It says Alexi.
251
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,640
Last name given.
No last name.
252
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,040
Oh, that's conspicuous.
Also, there is nothing listed
253
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,880
for where you should write
parent or guardian that is also
254
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,880
not listed on the form.
Also conspicuous.
255
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,280
OK, here's what I'm thinking.
You know how when they write
256
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,400
bills and stuff, there's a sheet
of paper on the bottom that
257
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,640
duplicates whatever you write on
top?
258
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,920
Oh, I could absolutely spend
preparedness for carbon paper.
259
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,760
That seems right up a
detective's alley.
260
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,200
Yeah, I was going to suggest I
could spend preparedness, but
261
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,920
yeah, if you have preparedness,
go right ahead.
262
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,480
Thing about that is that the
thing that copies it is actually
263
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,080
the pressure of writing in the
first place.
264
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,600
It's already been written is the
issue.
265
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,440
You can just like retrace it
with a broken pencil or
266
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,400
something.
Or even your fingernail.
267
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,560
There you go.
OK, this won't be the greatest
268
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,440
copy ever made.
Absolutely should.
269
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,240
Hopefully somebody with medical
skill will be able to discern
270
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,640
what all of this means.
The child sort of looks up at
271
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,640
you, by the way, when you've
come in and says what you look
272
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,800
different.
Yeah, I get that a lot.
273
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:27,800
My God.
This child is clearly like in a
274
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,640
drugged state.
If you want to talk to him,
275
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,760
you'll need to get her to tell a
story.
276
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,520
You'll need some sort of skill
if you want to talk to him.
277
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,120
Well, Legs E you want to ask the
kids some questions, It's Legs E
278
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,680
the clown.
We'd rather here to entertain
279
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:48,840
you.
Oh my God, fuck sure.
280
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:55,800
I mean, I lean into it, I spring
up, do jazz, hand, do surprise.
281
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,720
What can I have like a water
bottle on me?
282
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,360
You mean a seltzer bottle?
Oh, those were glass, weren't
283
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,600
they?
Plastic bottles weren't the
284
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:07,160
saying fuck yeah, can't do a
squeezy flower thingy.
285
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,240
You know, squeezy flower clowns
have that anyway.
286
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,480
No, I know what you're doing.
I don't know if you have
287
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,400
clowning supplies with you is
the issue.
288
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,880
I have athletics, can I do a
cartwheel?
289
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,760
Sure.
Yay, the dancing doctor.
290
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,240
What's my difficulty?
Oh, you're rolling for a
291
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,760
difficulty 3 to?
Do a cartwheel well.
292
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,520
Cartwheels are actually quite
hard.
293
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:36,760
Yeah, yay.
That's a four.
294
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:40,520
I do a decent cartwheel.
All right, you do a cartwheel.
295
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,120
The kid is still drugged up and
confused, and it seems to have
296
00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:46,800
accomplished nothing.
But congratulations, you've done
297
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,800
a cartwheel.
All right, I'll leave you to the
298
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:50,840
kid.
I'll check the next round.
299
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,840
For real?
Yeah.
300
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,280
That is a very common cane thing
to do.
301
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,840
I mean, I guess I talked to the
kid.
302
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,080
You go on.
You do have interpersonal
303
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,240
skills, right?
Flattery.
304
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,120
Yes.
Is that the only one?
305
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:14,360
Well, only one that matters here
that assess honesty, I suppose.
306
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:17,040
Assess honesty.
OK, never mind, go go check.
307
00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:19,760
Yeah.
I don't know if you have any
308
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,040
interpersonal skills that's
going to get this kid to help
309
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,760
you, though.
Just looking at his body as
310
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,040
you're looking a little bit
closer, he has bite marks.
311
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:34,520
What, like like he?
Has bite marks on his arms and
312
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,440
legs and torso.
Animal bite marks.
313
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,360
You know, not really, no.
They look more like human bite
314
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:44,920
marks.
Okay, okay, I'm going to do some
315
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,160
funny and I'm going to make the
kid laugh.
316
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:48,840
How old is the kid, by the way?
I don't.
317
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,680
Know he's like 10. 10 perfect.
I do armpit farts.
318
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,720
He's really out of it.
Fuck.
319
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,480
Sorry.
Meanwhile, in the next room,
320
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:04,400
this one room three O 4, you go
inside and there is another very
321
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,120
sick boy in bed.
It says on his chart Monty
322
00:19:08,120 --> 00:19:09,680
Donovan, June.
There we go.
323
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,680
Oh.
There it is.
324
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:16,080
He is also befuddled, dazed and
drugged out of all sense and
325
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,480
reasons.
You hear him muttering.
326
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,080
A mummy.
I I want my mommy.
327
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,120
Yeah, well, bring your mother by
as soon as you answer a couple
328
00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:27,360
questions.
Looking at his chart, looks like
329
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:31,200
he is overseen by the same
doctor and you're not an expert
330
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,600
in this sort of thing, but it
looks like some of the treatment
331
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,080
they're getting is the same and
some of it is not the same.
332
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,880
You'll probably be able to be
able to discern more if you talk
333
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,920
to someone with medicine.
Yeah, make a copy of his chart
334
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,080
too.
OK.
335
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:45,880
Then on the way out I'll swap
him.
336
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,680
Oh, you're going to leave the
shitty chart?
337
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,120
Yeah.
OK, why?
338
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,800
Perfect.
Why would you?
339
00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:55,720
Oh, I just, I get the feeling
that this kid's getting better
340
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,000
treatment because he's got more
money.
341
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,080
Oh, you're going to swap up just
to, I mean, their names are on
342
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,920
the Forbes is the thing.
Doesn't know it to try.
343
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,240
He is even less coherent than
Alexi in the next room.
344
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,000
This kid is not going to talk to
you at all.
345
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,640
Unfortunate he.
However, does not have bite
346
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,640
marks all over his body, so
that's nice.
347
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,560
OK, well, I'm going to make sure
that Kay stops in this room just
348
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,080
in case she needs to see it for
anything, but other than that,
349
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,720
I'm not going to try too hard to
get an incense a kid to talk to
350
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,280
me, OK?
That's yeah, that's for the best
351
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,840
do.
You want to try to talk to the
352
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,480
orphan boy.
Sure.
353
00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:34,560
I mean, I don't know if you have
any skills to try to get to talk
354
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,520
to you, but.
Hey.
355
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,720
Hey Alexi, have you ever heard
the story of the Dread Tyrant
356
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,920
legacy?
What skill are you using?
357
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,120
Oral History.
OK, so that's not what oral
358
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:51,920
history is.
Oral history is getting somebody
359
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,680
to tell you their stories, which
is actually what you want to do
360
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,160
here.
But I don't know if the way you
361
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,720
do that is do you want to hear
about a pirate?
362
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,000
Well, we're swapping stories.
I guess.
363
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:10,640
I'm going to spend a point.
You don't need to spend a point,
364
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,800
you get it.
I'm going to spend a point.
365
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,800
This story is taking the better
part of the afternoon.
366
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:22,080
OK.
I'm not there, I'm not there.
367
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,240
Well while they're telling
stories can I get a look at as
368
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,200
this boys friggin teeth please.
Do they match up with the bites?
369
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,160
Like, are they self-inflicted
bites?
370
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,600
Oh no.
They're not self-inflicted
371
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:34,600
bites, though.
Huh.
372
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:35,920
All righty.
Yeah.
373
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,800
All I needed to know.
Thank you.
374
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,320
The bites themselves seem to be
maybe from different mouths.
375
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,240
The bite marks seem different,
slightly different.
376
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,920
Look, it's not that we know what
happened, but we can play the
377
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,200
tape through.
He eventually recounts.
378
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,080
I was fishing down near
Newcastle Drive around the
379
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,160
warehouse there.
There's this big warehouse and I
380
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:02,480
moved to seek out the fishes and
then the ground it.
381
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,600
It bit me.
Fuck.
382
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,400
I tried to run, but there were
teeth and, and mouths
383
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,440
everywhere.
I, I fell down into them and I,
384
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,480
I thought, and then somebody
came and dragged me clear and I,
385
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,400
I woke up here.
Well that's terrifying.
386
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,240
I regret asking you for your
story now.
387
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:30,200
Hang on, when was that?
Do you remember when it was?
388
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,080
No, not really.
Recently.
389
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,440
Looking at the chart that looks
like with it was within I guess
390
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,080
two weeks ago.
Two weeks ago, I suppose he
391
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,320
doesn't remember who exactly
pulled him out.
392
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,520
Yeah, he he was busy being
bitten when that happened.
393
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:47,320
Yeah.
That's.
394
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:48,800
Fair.
Yeah, that makes sense.
395
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,000
All right.
Back on the stretcher, Lexie.
396
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,520
Time to get in.
That's right.
397
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:53,840
You remember the legacy from the
story?
398
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,280
Same one.
She used to be a pirate.
399
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:56,960
She's a clown now.
You should.
400
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,520
Probably get out of there before
you get visitors.
401
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Yeah, I I get on the stretcher,
I look at Colin from under the
402
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,240
sheet and I'm like Mr. Caine.
I think you mean Mr. Mr.
403
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,840
Michael.
Mr. Michael, please stop calling
404
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,400
me Lexie.
But that's your fake name.
405
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,280
You're alias, we all decided.
You and the inhabitants of your
406
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:19,600
head.
You know alias?
407
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,360
Oh, you should be Jennifer
Gardner.
408
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,280
That's who you should be if
we're looking for an alias.
409
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,400
Why?
She was the star of the
410
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:32,080
television program Alias It's a
OK, so over at the dock.
411
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:41,320
Good save buddy, great save SO.
Since I was in the military, I
412
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,000
think it would make sense for me
to have some binoculars, no?
413
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,960
You could have binoculars.
It's fine.
414
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,080
We also established that you
guys have binoculars.
415
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,240
It was a preparedness check at
one point, but you guys have
416
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,520
binoculars now.
Oakley, Dokley I guess we're
417
00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,440
just finding, at least at first,
a place to surreptitiously scope
418
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:05,080
out the yacht from afar.
OK, what do our surroundings
419
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,840
look like?
You actually could see that the
420
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,960
yacht is actually anchored, not
like at a dock or anything, it's
421
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,600
just anchored in the water off
the coast.
422
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,680
You actually realize it's maybe
you could see it from the window
423
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,400
of that Manor house, and as
you're spying it with your
424
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,200
binoculars, it appears that no
one is on.
425
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,080
It interesting.
Good to know.
426
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,680
In fact, you could maybe go over
to it right now.
427
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,480
We could do that.
We could.
428
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,880
We could.
I guess my big concern is the
429
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,120
fact that it's not just that
people from the yacht could see
430
00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:42,360
us going to the yacht, it's that
people on shore could see us
431
00:24:42,360 --> 00:24:44,800
going to the yacht.
Is it actually like a swimmable
432
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,640
distance?
Athletics Difficulty 5.
433
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,360
Fuck that.
I think we should probably stick
434
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:55,720
with the plan of going there
under the cover of darkness.
435
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,120
What's the boat traffic around
this area looking like?
436
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,000
It's actually kind of in the way
out there.
437
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,640
If you have any knowledge of
like shipping lanes and harbor
438
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,360
practices, it's kind of in the
way, but it floats out there all
439
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:10,480
the same.
Maybe we could get to there
440
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:15,240
during the daytime and make it
just look like we're, you know.
441
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:17,040
You want to grab a boat and be
proactive.
442
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,080
Fuck it, let's go.
All right, so we're looking to
443
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,880
buy a boat.
OK, you get a boat.
444
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,960
Nice and easy.
Credit rating 3 or higher to
445
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:27,800
rent a boat.
But if you have the credit
446
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,840
rating, you'll need to spend one
of your points just for now, to
447
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:32,480
rent a boat.
I'll do that.
448
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,560
I have credit rating 4.
OK.
449
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:40,600
All right, boy, that's sad that
the Private Eye has a better
450
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,640
credit rating than the actual
published author of many books.
451
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,000
Ex military person, so part of
it is military pension.
452
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,440
Well, actually right now you're
not really getting your bonus.
453
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,120
It's like a whole thing, but
that's a conversation for
454
00:25:57,120 --> 00:25:59,520
another time.
Like the veterans are marching
455
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,480
during the Great Depression
being like, hey, give us the
456
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:03,920
money you owe us.
Maybe you.
457
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,440
I was going to say you invested
wisely, but I don't know.
458
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:09,720
What must it be like to be
living in a Great Depression?
459
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,440
Who knows, maybe we'll find out
soon.
460
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,240
I hope you.
Don't have to, but probably.
461
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:21,000
So you hop on a boat and sail
over to the yacht.
462
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:26,320
Just get a little motor boat.
There's a surly looking guy who
463
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:27,960
rents you the boat, his name
Stan.
464
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,000
Do you guys give your own names
or do you give fake names for
465
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,760
the the rental?
Oh, obviously we're going to
466
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,480
give fake names.
Great.
467
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,440
OK, perfect.
And you make your way out to the
468
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,360
boat and as you're approaching
it, it does not appear that
469
00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:43,680
anybody is on the boat.
So that's good.
470
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,400
So.
With the way it's anchored, can
471
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,760
the the Manor house see like one
side of it or is it like parked
472
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:52,840
straight on towards the Manor
house?
473
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,960
The Manor house could see one
side of it.
474
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,440
So we could, in theory, hide our
boat in the shadow of the yacht.
475
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,200
Exactly.
We're geniuses.
476
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,960
I'm gonna need you to cuz turns
out the yacht is occasionally
477
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,960
checked on by people that are
watching it.
478
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,920
I'm going to need you to make a
difficulty 5 stealth check.
479
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,440
I can do that.
It would have been 6 but you
480
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,920
said oh we're going to hide our
boats and stuff so I'll give you
481
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,560
one more.
This is kind of important, so
482
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,200
I'm going to spend 3 points on
this actually.
483
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:24,880
All right, just don't fuck up.
I rolled 9 in total.
484
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,840
Fuck yeah.
So you are going to need to
485
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,240
spend one more point because you
have your friend with you.
486
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,400
OK, I can.
I can.
487
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,280
Can I spend that point because
I've got some spare points of
488
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:37,960
stealth?
You know what?
489
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,320
Sure.
I don't know if that's quite how
490
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:40,640
the rule works, but I'll let you
do that.
491
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,800
That's fine.
Yeah.
492
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,840
OK, so the yacht itself is not
particularly large.
493
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:50,360
It's got three modest cabins, a
galley and a sitting room.
494
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,080
Well, there's also some seating
available on the deck.
495
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,720
Good, that means this won't take
too long to search.
496
00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:01,000
I would like to check the
galley. 1st All right, there's a
497
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,160
bar down in the gal, but it's
dry.
498
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,840
Row after row of empty bottles
suggests not that it's been
499
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:13,600
cleaned out for storage, but
that somebody here drank it.
500
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:18,440
All their unwashed glasses, mugs
and cups scattered everywhere.
501
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,360
Some broken bottles.
Seems like somebody might have
502
00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:22,960
been having a.
Bender.
503
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,800
Signs of a.
Party.
504
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,880
The way it looks more, it looks
more that one person was doing
505
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,560
most of this drinking.
A party, for one is still a
506
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,120
party.
Fair, that's just a said.
507
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:36,760
I just get the impression this
person wasn't having a very good
508
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,840
time of it.
It's their party, they can cry
509
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,840
if they want to.
OK, yes.
510
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,160
Does evidence collection get me
anything more than that?
511
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,080
Not in, not in the galley.
All righty, do I notice anything
512
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:53,080
with my knowledge of the occult?
Like does it look like there are
513
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,720
sigil signs, words or anything
like that in the galley or
514
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,520
throughout the galley?
There is something painted in an
515
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,720
almost clear liquid.
This is combined with your
516
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,840
evidence collection.
It's letting you get this, and
517
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,000
you actually notice that they
are all near little things that
518
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,880
are sticking out of the wall.
What are these?
519
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,080
JB Your knowledge of art
recognizes these as mountings
520
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,880
for paintings.
So it looks like there were
521
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:24,720
symbols covered up by paintings
scattered around the boat,
522
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:30,560
painted in a mostly clear
liquid, and they are wards
523
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,440
against witchcraft and magic.
Do we want to know what the
524
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,840
liquid is?
Do you have chemistry or?
525
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,200
Or I'm not there.
I don't, I have pharmacy though.
526
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,320
Pharmacy.
OK, there's something in here
527
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:49,080
that's watered down quite a bit.
This looks like this is mostly
528
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,960
water and some sort of chemical
that you don't recognize.
529
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,280
In fact, it looks like nothing
you've ever seen before.
530
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,440
It's got a slightly yellowish
tinge.
531
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,560
Just the fact that I don't know
what it is is a pretty
532
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,320
significant clue in and of
itself.
533
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,600
I mean, I don't know, is there
any sort of like weird chemicals
534
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,840
that might be around?
I can think of 1.
535
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,160
I can think of 1.
Does it really classify as a
536
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,640
chemical though?
Isn't it more of a secretion?
537
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,800
If things can secrete chemicals.
Technically, everything is made
538
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,440
of chemicals, if you think about
it, yeah.
539
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,720
Well, yeah, my chemicals are
chemical free.
540
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,280
This stuff was definitely
painted on with Nectar.
541
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,360
Watered down nectar but.
Heavily watered down nectar,
542
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,440
yes.
Yeah.
543
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:39,720
And these are apparently are
awards against witchcraft and
544
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,480
magic.
Does it look like any of the
545
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,520
wards are damaged at all?
No, OK.
546
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,880
Well, there are a few other
rooms in this boat.
547
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:55,120
Yeah, there are two cabins that
you assume must be for guests.
548
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,800
They are bedrooms that are
decorated with like generic
549
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,840
nautical tchotchkis and the
closets are empty and then you
550
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:11,880
find one with a larger bed and
the closet is full of dresses.
551
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,480
A ton of dresses.
So this was Porsche's boat.
552
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,760
Maybe Mr. Donovan is a cross
dresser.
553
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,400
That's also possible.
Maybe this was Penny's boat.
554
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,720
I guess we can't assume anything
but.
555
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,600
Do you think you would have
anything that could identify
556
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,560
these dresses?
Maybe art history?
557
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,240
Not do you still have the
picture from the newspaper?
558
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,640
We got geology, but fashion
isn't a skill.
559
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,400
I mean, it might be under craft.
Art is good.
560
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,000
You know what, that picture that
you mentioned, one of these is
561
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,560
the dress that Misses Donovan
was wearing in that picture.
562
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,360
OK, there it is.
Yeah.
563
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,520
Also, in the back of the closet,
there's there's a case.
564
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,080
Interesting.
A guitar case.
565
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,440
Is it empty?
No.
566
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,360
Do you want to open it?
I don't like the way you phrase
567
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,200
that.
Sure, let's open it.
568
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:08,080
You open it up and inside is a
Spanish made guitar.
569
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,480
You motherfucker.
You.
570
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,120
Son of a Anything special about
it?
571
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,240
Or it's just a nice guitar.
It's just a nice guitar.
572
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,560
Ah, no, lose discos, nothing.
Guess I'll leave that then.
573
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,200
This is, of course, a
three-point sanity loss if you
574
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:31,160
fail a check.
I mean it's not out of character
575
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,520
for me personally to have random
panic attacks over nothing, but
576
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,280
I'd like to think JB is made of
sterner stuff.
577
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,440
In general, just as you're
looking around, it looks like
578
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,680
pretty much anything valuable
has been taken out of this
579
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,920
yacht.
You see, there's plenty of stuff
580
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,880
like the art that must have been
here.
581
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,040
They're they're like empty
shells and stuff like that.
582
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,040
It seems like this place has
mostly been cleared out of
583
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,200
valuables.
Probably when she passed, if I
584
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,960
had to guess.
Yep, besides that I mean, you
585
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,480
could try to pilot the yacht I
suppose.
586
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,920
I see no advantage in doing.
That so all the valuables have
587
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,600
been removed.
Pretty much, yeah.
588
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,800
I mean, some of those dresses
might get you a little bit of
589
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,040
money if you find somebody would
want to buy them, but.
590
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,360
Well, yeah, it's.
Guitars are not cheap.
591
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,880
Yeah, yeah.
That's not necessarily where I
592
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,800
was going with that.
I know.
593
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,760
Does it look like somebody tried
to clean up a crime scene
594
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:30,280
specifically using conceal?
That's a, that's a good thought,
595
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,880
but that does not appear to be
what is here.
596
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,800
Looking around, you are pretty
sure that they're not covering
597
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,960
up us like nobody was murdered
here.
598
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,680
I mean, there might have been
like sex parties here or
599
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,080
something, but like there's no
like blood that has been covered
600
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,920
up or anything like that.
Yeah, I've got forensics.
601
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,040
So on a similar like thought
process, everything of valuable
602
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,600
value was taken.
Does it look like in the
603
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,520
burglary and theft way or just
in the we're clearing out a dead
604
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,160
person's stuff way?
Well, if they were really
605
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,680
robbing the thing, they probably
would have taken at least the
606
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,600
guitar.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking
607
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,840
too.
Yeah, so this looks like it was
608
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,440
cleaned out of the valuables,
but not by a robbery.
609
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,360
Looking at it you could tell
very recently it was cleared of
610
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,159
all valuables and somebody did a
lot of drinking.
611
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,040
Yeah, this is a dead person
boat.
612
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,719
All right.
On that lovely line, it looks
613
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,920
like both of your investigations
have been relatively successful
614
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,239
as I would say there's nothing
much left on the yacht.
615
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,320
Is there anything else the other
two want to do at the hospital?
616
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,600
I will note it's becoming around
1:30.
617
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,000
Yeah.
Or no, it's 12:30.
618
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,400
If it was 130, Donovan would
already be here.
619
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,920
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Booting it.
620
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,040
Do you call me Lexie?
Yeah.
621
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,960
From under the sheet I punch you
in the elbow.
622
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,760
That's right, if you don't like
the name, then you have to think
623
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:55,840
of a better one.
All right.
624
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:02,960
Hi, this is Daniel and I'm here
for a sad announcement.
625
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,880
After two years of Daniel's
dread, Tails are going to have
626
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:13,320
to start asking you for money.
You see, we all have day jobs
627
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,360
and as we continue to work to
improve the show, the expenses
628
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,720
do add up.
We've updated three mics, a few
629
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:24,200
computer components, and got
ourself a website, just to name
630
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,360
a few things.
And throughout this entire time,
631
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,720
Nathan's laptop has been making
truly concerning noises.
632
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:36,880
So when it eventually explodes.
Past tense laptop has exploded.
633
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,960
We might not be able to hear
from Nathan for a while, so
634
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,440
please check out our donate link
which is on our link tree.
635
00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:48,640
We would really appreciate if
you donate though, if you'd like
636
00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:51,560
not to donate.
We love all our listeners
637
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,640
equally.
Maybe we we like the ones who
638
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,240
give us money a little bit more
though.
639
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,320
Come on, you know.
Hey Paul, would you say that you
640
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,320
were haunted by nightmares of
the things that have happened on
641
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,160
the Crows Kodaks?
I occasionally have.
642
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,960
Some difficult dreams that come
up.
643
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,160
Most of those are associated.
With the most recent.
644
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,120
Story.
Anything in particular with most
645
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,000
recent story that's really
haunted you?
646
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,280
The time where there were more
mouths.
647
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,160
Than we expected or more.
Eyes than we expected, or more
648
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,760
eyes in mouths than we being
expected.
649
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,840
I It's hard to narrow it down.
Was it the fish with human
650
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:27,200
teeth?
It's.
651
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,920
Definitely up there.
If any of these things sound
652
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,720
horrible to you, you can find
them and more on the crows
653
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:35,560
codecs now part of the imaginary
broadcast network.
654
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,160
It's as real as you want it to
be.
655
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,280
And you, I assume, meet up
again.
656
00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:45,360
Yeah, sure.
Yep, the other team is probably
657
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,760
going to be a little surprised
that we were like, fuck it, we
658
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,480
figured we could actually get
away with investigating the
659
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,640
boat, so we did, yeah.
The plan originally was we're
660
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,880
going to rent, we're going to be
ready to sneak onto a boat.
661
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,200
Instead, you're just like, Oh
yeah, no, we did it already.
662
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,000
With the opportunity presented
itself.
663
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,000
I don't think Colin would be
surprised.
664
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,880
Colin has worked with Reg in the
past.
665
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:06,920
Gotcha.
A mistake out can be avoided.
666
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,720
Reg will usually take that
option, yeah.
667
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:13,520
More time for drinking.
JB was surprised at least, and
668
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,960
he was part of the plan.
So when we meet up, first of
669
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,440
all, we should probably share
the boys charts with JB.
670
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,440
Alexi was the one with the bite
Marks and the other one was
671
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,640
probably Donovan's kid on
account of the chair last name.
672
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,360
That's usually how that works.
And.
673
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,760
His name was Montgomery Donovan
Junior.
674
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,120
It'd be quite a coincidence.
Of course he did the rich person
675
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,240
thing.
Something that bothered me about
676
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,560
this Alexi child.
His exact words I believe where
677
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,880
the ground bit me.
He was fishing I think a couple
678
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,120
of weeks ago over by the
warehouse.
679
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:51,560
You know, when we were staking
out the warehouse, wasn't there
680
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:57,440
a very specific path that
everyone was trying to stay on?
681
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,960
Like nobody stepped off the path
at all.
682
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,840
That there was.
So maybe it's not land mines,
683
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,800
it's land mouths.
Land mouths.
684
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,000
When we end up going there, do
not go on the grass.
685
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,440
That's a that's a good
conclusion, JB.
686
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,040
If you would have access to
these church straight away, you
687
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,080
would have just been able to
read them and understand them
688
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,760
because of the unique
circumstances that you were
689
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,400
finding yourself in.
I'm going to need you to spend a
690
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,800
point of medicine to examine.
All right, I've only got the
691
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,320
one, but honestly, I don't see
myself using a point of medicine
692
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:37,640
for much else, so hit me.
Alexis Chart describes a mess of
693
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,480
overlapping drugs and flailing
treatments.
694
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:46,800
Actually, the things he's being
treated with are not the things
695
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:51,440
that you would treat somebody
who has bite marks.
696
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,640
There are scars of the bite
marks that are still on this
697
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,560
child's body, but they have
healed over and the treatments
698
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,760
that are being given to him are
not for that.
699
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:08,280
Therefore some other disease I
guess, but he's being treated
700
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,000
for an illness he shows no
symptoms for.
701
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:15,040
And included in there you
recognize many of the things
702
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:19,600
that he is being treated with.
But there is one thing that is
703
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,320
being listed as N that he is
being treated with as well.
704
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:29,160
I think Donovan's a monster.
Meanwhile, Montgomery Donovan
705
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:34,120
Junior is also getting a
overlapping mess of treatments,
706
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:38,720
drugs and would be remedies.
It seems to be almost exactly
707
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:41,920
the same things that the orphan
Alexi is getting.
708
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,200
And actually, as you trace it,
it seems that Alexi gets them
709
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:49,360
one day and then once they
observe the effects, they are
710
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:54,520
given to Montgomery Junior.
That's a Dick move.
711
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,360
The chart paints the picture of
a mysterious illness and a
712
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,120
doctor in over their head.
This child is getting periodic
713
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:06,440
doses of something labeled N as
well, and he's also getting
714
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,840
something called the special
treatment, but again, nothing
715
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,120
seems to be helping.
Well, it looks like we maybe
716
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,240
found our research subjects.
Yeah.
717
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,320
Let me look you got.
I mean, you're able to put it
718
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,800
together, I assume, but I if
not, I'll be explicit.
719
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,520
They're testing stuff on Alexi
first.
720
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,880
Yeah, before they give it to
Montgomery.
721
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,480
An innocent orphan wanders into
their landmine zone, gets
722
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,840
bitten.
They take him up to the ICU and
723
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,800
once he's been treated for the
bites, they start using him as
724
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:44,760
the test subject for Donovan's
son to treat something real and
725
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,040
unknown.
Shit.
726
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,880
Are they being treated?
Treated like Is there even a
727
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,880
disease?
That is a good question.
728
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:58,880
What symptoms, if any, are
listed for Montgomery Junior?
729
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:05,640
It's sort of a wasting disease.
It seems to be a little unclear
730
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:10,360
exactly what it is, but they're
lethargic, they're befuddled.
731
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,640
Their body seems to just be
slowly failing them.
732
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:21,240
You'd almost say it was like a
cancer, but it's not a cancer.
733
00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:22,760
You know, they, they've done
their checks.
734
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:26,280
It just seems to be.
No signs of tumors, he's just
735
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,200
dying.
He's yeah, he's slowly wasting
736
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,280
away.
Hey JB, does it say in there
737
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:36,480
when he started with the
symptoms, like when he started
738
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,440
getting sick?
He was checked in a little under
739
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,240
a month ago.
Dun Dun, Dun.
740
00:41:42,720 --> 00:41:44,520
That doesn't feel like a
coincidence.
741
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,880
Nah, not at all.
Well, what would it mean?
742
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,280
I don't know.
It happened after whatever
743
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,160
happened to his mother.
Yeah.
744
00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:53,840
Which presumably involved a
mouth.
745
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:57,160
We can only assume.
Yeah, it it coincides around the
746
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:58,400
time that they made the mouth
happy.
747
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,360
They made the mouth happy.
Porsche mysteriously disappears
748
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,160
and dies.
His son gets sick with something
749
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:09,520
mysterious and terminal.
Either Donovan's having like the
750
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,880
worst day of his life, or he's
the biggest bastard we've ever
751
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,680
met.
I don't think those are mutually
752
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,200
exclusive.
Fair enough.
753
00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:18,960
Whatever this is, it's
definitely his fault.
754
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,760
Undoubtedly.
I'm not sure how it all works,
755
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,240
and I kind of look at Reggie as
the de facto expert.
756
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:31,320
My worry is that Monty Donovan
is not being treated for
757
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,840
anything, but rather they're
trying to turn him into
758
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,760
something.
I mean, that is also a
759
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,520
possibility.
That being said, if the timeline
760
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:46,200
matches up like it seems to, I
think the sacrifice that was
761
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,400
made has something to do with
Porsche.
762
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,040
That much I'm inclined to agree.
What if it got them both?
763
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:56,920
I was just getting to that.
I think what is happening to
764
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:03,080
Montgomery's son is at the very
least unforeseen back or part of
765
00:43:03,240 --> 00:43:09,120
the that the sacrifice was made
was to change his son and it
766
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:13,240
didn't go the way he expected.
Especially since there's the
767
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:18,080
special treatment that's listed
on his medical charts that you
768
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,640
would think getting the
mysterious end substance would
769
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:26,120
be the special treatment, since
I'm now 80% certain that that
770
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,440
means that they're using nectar
in the treatment.
771
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,600
But if the nectar isn't the
special treatment, then what the
772
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:32,840
hell else are they doing to
this?
773
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,240
That is a very good question.
Well, if we want answers, it
774
00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:40,480
might be time to enact our great
big joke.
775
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,760
What joke?
The one we keep telling Kerns
776
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,640
about.
The kidnapping, but it's just a
777
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,320
joke.
I'm laughing already, right?
778
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,000
Right.
Plausible deniability.
779
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:54,200
Kidnapping.
Yeah, in Minecraft, is that a
780
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:55,840
thing people say?
When you're joking about
781
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,520
something, you say you're doing
it in Minecraft.
782
00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:59,040
Or.
No, am I?
783
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:03,920
Never mind, let's move on.
I guess that if it sounds like
784
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,240
it's time to kidnap this guy,
and that does seem like a a
785
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:11,360
solid idea.
The question is, how are you
786
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,840
going to do it?
Well, I think the first thing we
787
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,320
should figure out is where we're
holding them.
788
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:16,800
Definitely.
On the plane.
789
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:18,720
Bad idea.
That's our way home.
790
00:44:18,720 --> 00:44:26,080
Low those I am to admit it, this
magic stuff seems to maybe be in
791
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,400
effect.
You might have ways of bringing
792
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:29,960
people to our doorstep in that
case.
793
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,360
I mean, you could probably find
an abandoned building.
794
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,680
Step one, We locate an abandoned
place to hold him.
795
00:44:37,720 --> 00:44:40,880
Hey Colin, you want to find us a
place where we can hold him?
796
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,440
I want to check one more thing
out.
797
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,360
Yeah, yeah, I've been hearing
about a old abandoned circus
798
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,520
that comes alive at night.
I'll go check that out tonight.
799
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,400
What skill would you use to find
an abandoned building?
800
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,080
Anybody.
Accounting.
801
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,880
No.
How about the catacombs though?
802
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,080
Accounting would do it.
Accounting, yeah.
803
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,280
Accounting, I suppose if you're
going over like the records of
804
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,640
like businesses that have gone
banked up, you'd have to go to
805
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,240
like the City Hall records
again.
806
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,800
But we've done that once before.
And Colin has photographic
807
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,600
memory.
Or you could just go back there.
808
00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:19,160
Well, that's kind of where Reg
was planning on going.
809
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,240
OK.
Well, maybe you guys can go
810
00:45:22,240 --> 00:45:24,640
together.
I don't know what Reg was going
811
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,320
to look up, but.
Meanwhile, I've got I think I
812
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,800
have an idea on how to
perpetrate the kidnapping itself
813
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,840
because we know the one time
that he separated from his
814
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,760
guards is when he's visiting his
wife's grave.
815
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,680
I mean, there's more times than
that.
816
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,080
There's also the hospital room,
which Kay is now being inside
817
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,760
of.
Exactly, I have seen that
818
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,680
hospital room that means I can
can't believe I'm saying this
819
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,520
Hyperspace gate.
In there.
820
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,440
Hear me out though, if we ambush
him in the graveyard, you don't
821
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,800
have to hyperspace gate in to
kidnap him.
822
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:04,120
Instead we hyperspace gate out
to get out of there without
823
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,120
going past his guards.
Out of character, does it say
824
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,520
that I have to go through the
gate alone or can I take others
825
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,800
with me?
So here's the thing, you're not
826
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:17,960
super sure you know what I mean.
Like you haven't done this yet.
827
00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:22,280
If you really want to know the
details of it you probably need
828
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,800
to do like a test casting, but
that in and of itself is
829
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,560
probably dangerous.
But you will open a gate.
830
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,760
OK.
Usually you can take more than
831
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,320
one person through a gate you.
Can take.
832
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,240
Oh yeah, you could take things
through the gate.
833
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:37,840
Things.
Yeah.
834
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,120
And people, yeah.
And then when they come out the
835
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:45,280
other side, they just never stop
screaming win, win this isn't.
836
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,560
Blatant.
OK.
837
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:54,440
And Renee are going to write a
list of things that we need to
838
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,360
know for sure about Hyperspace
Gate.
839
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,760
OK here's my plan.
If this is a bad plan please
840
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,600
feel free to tell me, but my
thought is we jump the guy in
841
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,640
the graveyard and then we take
him out through a hyperspace
842
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,760
gate.
If the hyperspace gate only
843
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:13,080
allows like him and K through,
the rest of us just leave the
844
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,880
graveyard and pretend we had
been paying our respects too.
845
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:21,240
One of the things I want to see
is if we can potentially escape
846
00:47:21,240 --> 00:47:22,920
that graveyard through the
catacombs.
847
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,400
If there's an entrance there,
then we might be able to use
848
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:31,560
that to get us the time to
either get away or have Kay set
849
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:35,760
up her teleport.
OK, so you're now you have a
850
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,360
place to look for catacombs
stuff.
851
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,600
Yes, now I have a place to look
for a potential entrance.
852
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,800
Interesting.
I'm going to say with
853
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:46,720
accounting, by the way, there's
a couple banded buildings, you
854
00:47:46,720 --> 00:47:49,480
know, anywhere you would need
them to be.
855
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,880
Perfect.
And if Kay goes to any of those,
856
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:57,280
then that is a place that she
now has stored for, you know.
857
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:01,240
The other thing let's see
Reggie, is there a skill you
858
00:48:01,240 --> 00:48:04,320
would use for analyzing all of
these blueprints?
859
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,440
Architecture.
You know what?
860
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:10,080
Yeah, that makes sense.
Could you spend me a point of
861
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:11,320
architecture?
I can.
862
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,720
All right, then, I'm going to
give you something big.
863
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:18,720
You find evidence of a tunnel
that goes right underneath that
864
00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:22,400
graveyard.
Now, there is stone in the
865
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,600
catacomb that would separating
it from the earth above it in
866
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,560
the garden, but you are able to
find one.
867
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,600
And you know what?
You should be able to get into
868
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,920
it through a nearby abandoned
building.
869
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:38,880
You might need to do some
excavation work, but some
870
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,320
digging you could get in.
It really is in Minecraft.
871
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,080
But excavation isn't a skill.
Geology.
872
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:50,360
Oh yeah, there we go.
Now and explosives.
873
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,440
Now that would be time
consuming.
874
00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:00,040
Well, maybe not the explosives
part, but that would be one way
875
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,800
to approach this.
There's also the use of a gate.
876
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,640
Maybe there's another thing you
could do, I don't know.
877
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,200
I would like to test the gate
first.
878
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:11,880
Grave routing?
Nope.
879
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,280
OK, how?
Do you intend to test the gate?
880
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,200
From the comfort of my own hotel
room.
881
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,280
OK.
Is anybody joining you for it?
882
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:22,960
Oh, we got to draw straws for
that.
883
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,720
Actually, I wouldn't mind if all
of us joined me for it.
884
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,360
I have a feeling that we might.
All right, fine.
885
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,240
At the very least, I will come
along.
886
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:34,800
Sure.
Can we say that we're back at
887
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:36,920
the hotel?
Yeah, you're back at the hotel.
888
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:41,400
OK, OK, here's some things.
Being the researcher that I am,
889
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,080
here's some things that I need
to know.
890
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,240
First, can I take people through
and how many?
891
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,920
Second, are they OK afterwards?
3 How quickly does the gate
892
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,800
close?
Do I have to be the last one
893
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,720
through it?
How does closing it work?
894
00:49:54,720 --> 00:49:57,280
Can I control it at all?
Can it be closed?
895
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:02,760
Can it be closed?
Yeah, and #4 can I take an
896
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,120
unwilling person?
Like, do they have to step in on
897
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:07,640
of their own free will?
I don't know.
898
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,880
It just weirdly feels like it
matters.
899
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,200
Well, that one might be hard to
test, but I can tell you right
900
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,040
now I'm not going through that.
I wink at JB and Reg.
901
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:21,600
OK, so I ask one more question
of my companions.
902
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,160
Where should I?
Where should I, I suppose,
903
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,040
direct the gate to?
Let's keep it simple for this
904
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,000
test.
My room OK.
905
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,840
Because like, so it's a pretty,
it's like a, it's a, it's a
906
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,120
place you've been.
Yeah.
907
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:40,280
So it fulfills that requirement.
And it's locked notably.
908
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:44,360
So no chance of somebody walking
in on us in the middle of
909
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:46,920
testing out a magic spell.
All right.
910
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,600
OK.
And K is going to be the one
911
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,160
doing it.
K Do you have physics skills?
912
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,520
No, I don't.
OK, I almost took it and then I
913
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:55,640
didn't.
That's fine.
914
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,560
Knowledge of physics would make
this a little easier, so you're
915
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,440
gonna need to draw this up
somewhere.
916
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,120
We're not getting our deposit
back.
917
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,480
I draw up on the wall probably
would make sense so we would
918
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,000
like walk through it yeah that
makes.
919
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,960
Sense you're gonna need to like,
push the bed away from the wall
920
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,960
to like, make room.
So is there a full length mirror
921
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:17,200
in this room?
Sure, that's a nice idea.
922
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:20,680
Does Kay have lipstick?
Yep, I know where you're going.
923
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:22,920
Sure.
Yeah, all.
924
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,480
Right team.
I trace the inside of the mirror
925
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,600
with my lipstick.
Don't use your own.
926
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,000
You can take some from my
disguise kit.
927
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,000
All right, you save that for the
next time you disguised as a
928
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:37,360
clown.
It's gonna take about an hour to
929
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,320
do it.
Yes, all.
930
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,960
Righty.
To inscribe it, if you had
931
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:46,360
knowledge of physics you could
get it done in about 10 minutes,
932
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,920
and if you spent a point of
physics you could get it done in
933
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:50,840
a minute.
If you ever need to like really
934
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:54,560
fucking get a portal going.
OK, well, I know what I'm buying
935
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:58,840
next time I level up accounting.
Sure.
936
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,160
I think you've got accounting
handled.
937
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:03,800
It's truly the most useful
skill.
938
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,800
Damn, I've got physics but I
don't have magic so.
939
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:09,200
Well, it's your time to read a
book.
940
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:12,680
For health, double per increment
of distance, continental,
941
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:17,800
global, interplanetary,
interstellar, and intergalactic.
942
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:19,360
So this is going to be a
continental.
943
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,320
Either lose 2 stability or for
health.
944
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:25,960
But first you need to make a
test, a difficulty 5 stability
945
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:27,840
test.
Oh, fun.
946
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,640
Yikes.
What's the loss on this?
947
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:33,960
This is to succeed or oh.
OK.
948
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,840
Oh.
I see.
949
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,200
Well, shit increase.
Your chances of succeeding.
950
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:46,520
By spending stability.
And then you will also need to
951
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:51,200
just spend 2 stability or four
health even after you succeed.
952
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:55,400
OK.
So Kay is in her room and you
953
00:52:55,400 --> 00:53:00,120
guys are in there with her and
she's inscribing bizarre symbols
954
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:04,840
all over this mirror.
I'm spending to stability, to
955
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:06,560
stability to aid the role.
There you go.
956
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,240
OK.
Make your role.
957
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,080
You can do it.
I believe in you.
958
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,160
Didn't need to spend.
That's A7.
959
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:18,680
Yay.
OK, now you will need to spend 2
960
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:22,480
stability to sacrifice your
mind, or for Health to sacrifice
961
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,000
your body to complete the
ritual.
962
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,560
Oh, for each four health points
spent from the caster's spool,
963
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,120
lose one point from the caster's
health rating.
964
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:31,600
Oh.
Oh.
965
00:53:33,240 --> 00:53:35,560
Yikes.
Yikes on bikes.
966
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,120
Wow.
Does the same go for stability
967
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:42,480
or no?
I don't want to be a force
968
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:46,920
stability though.
Force stability or two maximum
969
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:48,320
health.
It'd just be one maximum.
970
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:49,760
Health.
Oh, sorry, one maximum health.
971
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:51,320
And the maximum health is
forever.
972
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,600
Yes, that would mean that you're
sacrificing part of your body to
973
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,200
make the spell work couple.
Fingers.
974
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,880
I feel like you should save that
one for emergencies.
975
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:03,640
Yeah, I think so too.
I'm yeah, I'm going to spend the
976
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,280
stability.
So I'm at force stability right
977
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:07,360
now all.
Right.
978
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,680
What does this look like?
The gate as it opens.
979
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,880
All of this, all of this leading
up to the opening of the gate.
980
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,520
What does this look like?
What is Kay doing?
981
00:54:18,720 --> 00:54:21,280
I know I'm sort of vaguely
describing it, but I want you,
982
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:25,280
you know, if you're down.
So this is like you're invoking
983
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:29,960
magic.
None of you here have seen magic
984
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:31,840
before, by the way.
You guys are all going to need
985
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,520
to, well, Kay's already made a
stability test, but some of you
986
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,600
are going to need to make
separate stability tests in just
987
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,800
a moment.
But even after you imagine this
988
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:44,040
looks like yes, you've seen
mouths, but this is another
989
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,960
spooky thing you're saying.
Are we gonna have to make
990
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,600
stability test every time we see
Kay open a portal?
991
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:51,640
Cuz at some point it's gonna be
old hat.
992
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,640
Well, there's a difference
between seeing something for the
993
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,920
first time and then seeing it
not for the first time in terms
994
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,200
of that stability check.
That is fair.
995
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,200
Suck it, mouths.
And.
996
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,760
Yeah, wait, don't, don't do it.
Oh no.
997
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,360
Don't suck the mouth.
Don't suck anything mouth.
998
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:12,520
I think the little tube of
lipstick feels heavy and cold in
999
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:16,200
my hand.
It's a rose red by Max Factor.
1000
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,800
One of those new swiveling
tubes, a diamond piece.
1001
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:23,640
William got it for me on the
whim, even though I hate the
1002
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,120
feeling of my hair stuck on the
pesky film of garish colored
1003
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:30,640
grease.
I used it exactly once to humor
1004
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:37,680
him and never touched it again.
Never again, not since he, at
1005
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,200
any rate.
It seems oddly fitting, like
1006
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:44,320
things have come full circle.
I pop the cap, put the lipstick
1007
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:49,600
against the smooth surface, and
then the pain comes.
1008
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:54,160
My eyes are two orbs of pure
white heat going Nova in my
1009
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,320
skull.
What starts as a scream of agony
1010
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,840
when chest bursts out in this
real deep, primal chant with
1011
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:06,120
mostly bottles.
I give them voice, breath, life.
1012
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,520
I sing them into existence.
As my hands traces the
1013
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,240
unfathomable shapes around the
mirror's edge.
1014
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:18,680
The room fades out of reality,
consumed by a light that is both
1015
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:23,600
scorching and bone shattering in
the cold, like the unfriendly
1016
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:27,560
void of ours face.
My friend's stunned face has
1017
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,840
become a blur.
I think someone was crying out.
1018
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:39,960
Is it me?
That's a fine surgical struggle
1019
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,880
not stop your rooms where
they're sets the very flesh of
1020
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:44,720
the ears and.
Through.
1021
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:51,080
The.
Cat, I said to make the bloody,
1022
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:55,200
which does bear striking
resemblance to JB's room.
1023
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:02,080
This mystical a crazy shit to
see an incredibly boring hotel
1024
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:06,800
room, but I will need to have
everybody.
1025
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:11,200
Not K, but you guys are going to
need to make difficulty for
1026
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,360
stability checks with a loss of
three.
1027
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,800
Oh boy.
I will spend 1.
1028
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:23,240
I passed SO.
I rolled A6 and yeah, basically
1029
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:26,800
as soon as the surface stops
rippling, Reggie is just going
1030
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:31,640
to go and grab Colin and be like
OK, time to go through and start
1031
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:33,400
pushing.
No, it's not my time.
1032
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:39,360
And start pushing him towards
the portal, OK?
1033
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:42,240
It's a small mirror I'm not
gonna fit.
1034
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,640
What about you, Colin?
What'd you roll?
1035
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,920
I rolled A6.
Well, congratulations, you are
1036
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:53,960
not rocked too much by this.
And what about you, JB?
1037
00:57:54,560 --> 00:58:01,480
So I failed my stability test.
OK, so I'm just kind of like
1038
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,800
looking at it stunned for a
solid second.
1039
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:13,920
Like like I knew this was coming
but Jesus fucking Christ.
1040
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:19,160
Now, is this now looking at it
as its message with your sanity?
1041
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,760
Are you afraid of it or are you
in awe of it?
1042
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:27,200
I guess in awe would be closer.
OK.
1043
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:31,360
Is it taking me any effort at
all to keep the gate open?
1044
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:35,600
You are thinking about it,
focused and thinking and still
1045
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,440
sort of chanting about the gate.
You didn't even realize at first
1046
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,040
that you were muttering words
that in a language you don't
1047
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:44,080
even know as you keep this gate
open.
1048
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:47,640
Is the language mostly vowels?
Yeah, you know.
1049
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,480
I know it's a concentration
spell.
1050
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:03,720
The grunt of disappointment.
Love you too, Dan.
1051
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:11,320
So you shoved a person through
and did you go with them or
1052
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,600
Colin and Reginald?
Did they both go through?
1053
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,960
Yeah.
Reggie's following column
1054
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:17,760
through.
As you take the step through,
1055
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:21,280
it's like you're just stepping
through as if it was just right
1056
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,920
there.
However, as you step through, do
1057
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:27,440
you realize that the hairs on
your body are like standing up?
1058
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:31,320
And not because it's spooky, but
because legitimately it was so
1059
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:33,560
cold.
It was only for like a an
1060
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:37,440
instant, but it was impossibly
cold for just an instant.
1061
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:39,880
Don't want to stay in there too.
Long, that makes sense.
1062
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:42,160
Yeah, that makes sense.
It's.
1063
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:44,760
No, I won't be able to stop
thinking in portals so.
1064
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,200
If we want to test if K.
This was a triumph.
1065
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:53,840
I'm making a note right here.
Huge.
1066
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:59,920
Success.
Yay jokes.
1067
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,400
OK.
Sorry to overstate my
1068
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:06,040
satisfaction.
Since we wanted to test if Kay
1069
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:07,680
needed to be the last person
through.
1070
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:12,600
Once those two are through
relatively unharmed, then K
1071
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:16,040
should go through and I'm going
to see if I can follow after or
1072
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:20,200
if I just walk into a mirror.
Yeah, let's do that.
1073
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:23,360
I walk through.
OK.
1074
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:28,720
And I walk through afterwards.
You all walk through, yeah?
1075
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:31,720
OK.
Good science team.
1076
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:36,680
OK, I look back at it and I
attempt to close it.
1077
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,040
You're going to force yourself
to stop chanting?
1078
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:47,320
Yeah, I'm gonna think.
Think at it close and attempt to
1079
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:51,000
stop the spell.
It closes.
1080
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:55,440
How?
How is everybody?
1081
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:58,920
I don't appreciate being
manhandled.
1082
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:04,160
I mean, we needed to see if we
were able to take an unwilling
1083
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:08,560
person through.
Oh, all right, I get it.
1084
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:13,680
Great work, Mr. Killworth.
It's what I do.
1085
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,760
I appreciate it.
I suppose as long as you're not
1086
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:18,160
doing the other stuff you do to
me.
1087
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,400
That's for later.
Whoa.
1088
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,680
Hey, you OK?
I mean, I thought, I thought we
1089
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,200
had something, Colin, but I see
how it is.
1090
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,840
I still can't get the thought of
that man stuffed in that safe
1091
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,560
out of my head.
Wonder if they ever found him.
1092
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:39,400
I would love to stay here and
listen, but I mean, I, I kind of
1093
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,960
imagined that it, it took a toll
on me.
1094
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,000
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, that makes.
1095
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,200
Yeah, that makes sense.
I mean, you lost force
1096
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:49,760
stability.
What does force stability look
1097
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:53,000
like?
Sort of reddish.
1098
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:56,000
I think there's like a direct
explanation of what that might
1099
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,040
look like.
Let me see.
1100
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,720
You don't really start getting
fucked up until you go until you
1101
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:02,800
hit 0.
OK.
1102
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:05,280
Yeah, so you're probably a
little twitchy.
1103
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:09,360
I'd imagine I feel like I
haven't slept for two days
1104
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:10,960
straight.
Yeah.
1105
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:16,600
Which isn't far from the truth.
Yeah, I mean, Kay operates in
1106
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:21,440
mysterious ways.
Let's see, it says role-playing
1107
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,600
instability On a three or four
point loss.
1108
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:25,520
You might have to stop a bit and
hyperventilate.
1109
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:27,560
You're blinking a lot, maybe
sweating too.
1110
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,120
If you talk, you might run away
with your own words.
1111
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:33,840
Keep doing something comforting.
Rack the slide of the shotgun,
1112
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:36,400
the Miskatonic fight song, that
kind of thing.
1113
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,800
That will see you through this.
OK.
1114
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:44,480
You don't have to use that, but
that's the example that they
1115
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:46,680
gave.
Was that the fucking Star Trek
1116
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:48,880
fight theme?
No, it's the Miskatonic Fight
1117
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:50,040
theme.
Completely different.
1118
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,800
Yeah, absolutely.
I just grab my and my husband's
1119
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:57,000
wedding rings that are on the
chain around my neck and just
1120
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,760
start pulling at them.
Do you return to your room?
1121
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:05,360
Yes, I'm feeling a bit nauseous.
I think I better go lie down.
1122
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:09,880
All right, if you excuse me.
The mirror there still has all
1123
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:13,840
the symbols drawn on it, but you
see there's a slight crack at
1124
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:18,640
the bottom of the Mirror Now.
Oh, noted.
1125
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:25,240
However, you realize you could
probably use this mirror again
1126
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:30,200
and it would be less of a drain
on your sanity or stability.
1127
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:32,280
Oh.
Yeah, there was something.
1128
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:35,600
Yeah, I guess we're keeping the
mirror.
1129
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:39,640
Yeah, I was just thinking of
like giving one of you some
1130
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:42,360
money and like sending you to
the receptionist or something.
1131
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:46,880
Nah, too complicated.
Why do anything when what you're
1132
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:49,360
doing can be solved with theft?
So.
1133
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:53,160
When Kay leaves the room,
Reginald is just going to look
1134
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:58,360
at JB and Colin and say, well,
it looks like we're probably
1135
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:03,200
done for the day.
I am going to.
1136
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:07,400
I'll be in my room.
That's some reading I need to
1137
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:08,800
do.
So do I.
1138
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,120
What's you going for tonight,
JP?
1139
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,080
Good question, All right.
I always feel like we should
1140
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:17,360
start a theme song.
The Which horrible book are you
1141
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:20,080
going to read tonight?
Yeah, I can.
1142
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:22,760
I feel like I'm playing Russian
roulette TBH.
1143
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:25,520
Like I don't know which of these
is going to do something
1144
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:28,680
terrible to me.
They all sound awful.
1145
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,680
That's the fun part.
None of us do.
1146
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:35,440
I guess also, Kay, do you plan
to read anything tonight or do
1147
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,080
you think you're probably good?
I.
1148
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:44,840
Please, please just sleep.
I probably no, I think I'm good
1149
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:46,480
for now.
I have for stability.
1150
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,480
I'm going to save it for for.
It occurs next time.
1151
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:52,920
I have 3 stability so I
shouldn't do this but.
1152
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:55,640
But you should.
But I will.
1153
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,880
Look at the fancy investigators
with all their stability.
1154
01:04:59,880 --> 01:05:03,240
I've got 2.
I have the most stability out of
1155
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:08,480
all of us with 9 at the moment.
How the fuck did?
1156
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:13,520
That Rich McGee over there.
Anyway, the Cradle in the ocean
1157
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:17,600
sounds suitably horrible.
Do you want to skim it, or do
1158
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:21,440
you want to read it deeply?
Deeply.
1159
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:26,320
Don't say it like that.
Fuck it, let's read, let's go,
1160
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,120
let's pour.
OK.
1161
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,920
Drink deep and descend.
We're playing Lancer.
1162
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:33,880
We're not actually playing
Lancer.
1163
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:37,360
There's I'd have to be the GM
and there's so much GM prep.
1164
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:42,600
The Cradle in the Ocean is a a
weird book.
1165
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:48,840
It's seemingly nonsensical, but
deeply disturbing.
1166
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:54,320
It's a children's book which
recounts bizarre tales of the
1167
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:59,760
folk hero Paul Bunyan.
The the stories include, and
1168
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:03,280
they're all told in like a
bizarre broken pose, Paul
1169
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:08,160
wrestling with Shepherdeth,
whose scythe Tagath Klatar is
1170
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:11,040
repeatedly described as sly
angled.
1171
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,760
And the sly, angled scythe
eventually cuts down Paul
1172
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:19,600
Bunyan, leaving a vivid red mark
at the heart of a web of Crimson
1173
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:21,800
which spreads across Paul
Bunyan's chest.
1174
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:23,960
For kids.
Yeah, exactly.
1175
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:29,640
Honestly, just everything.
It's a lot of cause and effect.
1176
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:33,280
Like Paul does something and
then something bad happens to
1177
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:34,560
him.
It's really a bunch of bad
1178
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:38,080
things happening to Paul Bunyan.
A lot of ocean imagery, but the
1179
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:42,240
idea is that the ocean is
actually a wall, and behind that
1180
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:48,160
wall lies an imprisoned being of
imprisoned Behemoth, referred to
1181
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:50,720
both as the Prisoner and the
Liar.
1182
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:53,840
The liar, you say?
The liar features also with a
1183
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:57,720
story called The Saffron Bee,
where Paul tries to steal honey
1184
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:00,880
from a colony of giant bees
whose hive is as big as a
1185
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:03,320
mountain.
But the liar is held by the lie
1186
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:07,000
of false history, of a causality
that cannot be.
1187
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:12,080
And though Paul gains the honey,
he is supposed to be getting the
1188
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:15,560
honey to give to the liar.
But then when he leaves, he
1189
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:17,800
realizes that the liar never
existed.
1190
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:21,320
Or maybe the liar lied about
having existed in the 1st place.
1191
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,520
It's kind of unclear as you're
reading it.
1192
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,360
There are no mechanical effects
from reading this book.
1193
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:29,520
Oh, thank God.
Yes.
1194
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:33,320
I mean, I guess it would have
been cool to learn to spell, but
1195
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,560
you know, whatever.
You didn't go crazy.
1196
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:38,280
I didn't go crazy.
I'll take it.
1197
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:43,200
Reggie is reading The Womb of
the Blackstone since it is
1198
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:45,680
related to the previous book
that.
1199
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:48,240
He had read.
Remind our audience how that
1200
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,440
connects.
There were some notes in there
1201
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:54,920
that identified the Blackstone,
that curious, sinister monolith
1202
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:58,880
that broods among the mountains
of Hungary as the spikes of the
1203
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:03,320
world of his world and the
ladders of fate, intimating
1204
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:07,040
perhaps that other such
monoliths might exist.
1205
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:11,160
All right, this book is in
Hungarian.
1206
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:14,400
Do you speak Hungarian?
No, unless.
1207
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:16,520
Come wake me up.
I have languages.
1208
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,560
Unfortunately, you're not going
to get anything out of this
1209
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,040
book.
Now if you would like you could
1210
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:25,399
pick another book because very
quickly you'll real I can't read
1211
01:08:25,399 --> 01:08:26,359
this.
Yeah, we.
1212
01:08:26,359 --> 01:08:28,160
Will go with a different book
then Yolo.
1213
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:31,439
It is collected sermons of the
floated tongue.
1214
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:33,200
Skimming or going deep?
Going deep.
1215
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:39,040
OK, this is a handwritten volume
purportedly presenting the true
1216
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:43,479
words which were spoken by the
many mouths of the floated
1217
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:46,600
tongue.
They're sermons written by,
1218
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:51,680
well, they were preached in a
mission called Mison Santa Maria
1219
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:54,479
de la Cabeza.
It's like in Baja California,
1220
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:59,040
OK.
In 1821, the Mission's Padres
1221
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:01,720
seem to have formed like a
glossolalia cult.
1222
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:03,479
Do you know what that means?
Glossolalia.
1223
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:06,920
That's when you start speaking
words without meaning.
1224
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:08,640
Just just sounds.
Yeah.
1225
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaking in tongues, basically.
Yeah, though they were very
1226
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:15,840
deliberately described as they
were speaking without tongues.
1227
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:18,920
Lots of vowels.
That's why the language is
1228
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,240
vowels.
Yeah, OK.
1229
01:09:21,279 --> 01:09:23,960
Yeah.
Yeah, Cthulhu stuff.
1230
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:28,479
Yeah, there were a lot of people
officially very interested in
1231
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:30,240
this.
It started a cult.
1232
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:34,560
This is sort of a description of
people dealing with that cult as
1233
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:36,880
well.
They talk about the sweet honey,
1234
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:41,960
the Padres voice, and they also
talk about how the priests here
1235
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:45,000
started to try to convert the
local natives, which was
1236
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,000
approved of by the Spanish
authorities.
1237
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:49,200
And they were like whipping and
attacking the natives.
1238
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:54,640
And it said that their wounds
spoke through fresh slit lips.
1239
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:59,840
So many mouths.
Ultimately, historical notes
1240
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:03,360
written in a much later hand
says that the mission was wiped
1241
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:06,440
out by the military in 1825 and
razed to the ground.
1242
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:08,400
Honestly good.
Riddance.
1243
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,440
And all official records were
destroyed.
1244
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:14,000
Yeah, but the mouth cult didn't
stop there.
1245
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:17,400
This might have actually been
part of the cause of the 1826
1246
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:22,920
like Mexican government crisis.
But now maybe all of this is
1247
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:27,600
made-up.
But it seems to be the case that
1248
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:32,080
this sounds like something you
would know, so you gain a point
1249
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:35,520
of Cthulhu mythos.
And lose a point of sanity.
1250
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:39,080
I need you to make a two point
mythos stability test.
1251
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:42,240
Oakley, Dokley.
So that'll be a difficulty 5
1252
01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:44,760
test.
And for a loss of two points
1253
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:46,120
total.
Yes.
1254
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:49,880
Ha ha, I succeed.
You also have two Floating
1255
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:54,960
Points that you could spend for
stuff involving the mouths.
1256
01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:59,760
Like you have a two point mouths
skill that you could spend on
1257
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:03,200
investigative abilities.
OK, you know how these cults get
1258
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:06,880
so popular, right Where the
mouth.
1259
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:14,120
Oh, come on.
And then I guess, do we have
1260
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:16,160
another book that we want to
read?
1261
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:18,920
Oh, Collin's done reading.
Collin's done reading.
1262
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:22,040
Yeah, Collin's probably learned
his lesson from reading.
1263
01:11:22,440 --> 01:11:25,400
He's paid his dues.
Well Collin, I am going to need
1264
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:29,160
you to make me a test though,
because Pale Death is still
1265
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:31,400
haunting your dreams.
The Crawling Mist.
1266
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:34,120
There you go.
I need you to make a three-point
1267
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:38,480
Mythos stability test.
So difficulty 5 at a loss of
1268
01:11:38,480 --> 01:11:39,880
three.
Well.
1269
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:44,080
Yikes.
If you succeed, you will no
1270
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:46,720
longer be haunted by this dream.
Well, that's not fun.
1271
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:48,760
Yeah.
You all succeeded anyway.
1272
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:52,560
Yay.
Woo, did you succeed?
1273
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:57,000
I rolled the six, yeah.
OK, you are able to push away
1274
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:00,680
that thing that you read about.
It probably was just you having
1275
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:02,280
bad dreams just thinking about
it.
1276
01:12:02,440 --> 01:12:04,560
No, I think it was a
manifestation of my guilt
1277
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:06,960
surrounding recent events.
Fair, fair.
1278
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:10,040
That was also probably it.
Now, of course, I have absolved
1279
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:14,360
myself of any wrongdoing.
So we have all taken our book
1280
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:18,520
round that we now do at the end
of our days now, which is a fun
1281
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:20,880
thing I've discovered about how
our game works.
1282
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:25,360
Brooke, we stole so many books.
Yes.
1283
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,200
What are we going to do, just
leave them like some sort of
1284
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:29,640
safe party?
Fuck that.
1285
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:33,360
Yeah.
Any other things we do in the
1286
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:35,400
evening outside of reading
books?
1287
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:38,120
Eating.
Private Daniel.
1288
01:12:38,480 --> 01:12:40,560
Well, yeah, you probably have a
dinner of some sort.
1289
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:44,240
Was that before or after the
teleportation experiment?
1290
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:47,120
Probably after.
Probably after, yeah.
1291
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:49,720
OK, we didn't know if it was
going to make us nauseous.
1292
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:51,320
Exactly not fair.
Yeah.
1293
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,120
Don't want dinner ended up
ending up everywhere.
1294
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:56,440
Did you not?
Everywhere dinner together or
1295
01:12:56,440 --> 01:12:58,000
did you have dinner separately?
What?
1296
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,840
What do we think?
I I just need to say that it
1297
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:02,160
wouldn't have ended up
everywhere.
1298
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:05,160
It would have ended up all over
JP's room and nowhere else.
1299
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:10,720
Oh no.
I am so glad we decided to eat
1300
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,840
dinner after I.
Would think that we would
1301
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,160
probably eat dinner together,
yeah.
1302
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:19,840
I think I passed out as soon as
my head hit the pillow.
1303
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:24,000
OK, when I when I went to.
We'll take a lot out of you.
1304
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,120
Yeah.
So that's three people eating
1305
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:29,560
and one person conked the fuck
out.
1306
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,320
Yeah.
Yeah.
1307
01:13:31,440 --> 01:13:35,120
Do you guys talk about the fact
that you've now been teleported
1308
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:39,200
like how is how is the meal or
do you studiously avoid talking
1309
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:43,480
about that?
Oh you bet your ass I'm dodging
1310
01:13:43,480 --> 01:13:45,840
that shit like the plague.
OK.
1311
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:49,440
I always thought you were full
of shit, Reg.
1312
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:54,280
How I've been teleported.
Even after the mouth thing.
1313
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:57,920
I mean, I started coming around
then, but guess the world's a
1314
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:01,320
lot weirder than Colin.
Anybody made it?
1315
01:14:01,480 --> 01:14:04,240
Out Have I ever lied to you in
the past?
1316
01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:09,360
So many times.
That was when we were on the
1317
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:13,560
job, something important.
I've never actually lied.
1318
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:18,400
This is something that, yeah,
no, the world is a pretty fucked
1319
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,520
up place.
I just thought it was fucked up
1320
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:27,840
in normal ways.
When you've seen what's beyond
1321
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:32,040
the veil, that there's no
walking back from that.
1322
01:14:32,440 --> 01:14:35,520
Yeah, we could always do what
Winston did and pretend it never
1323
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:37,320
happened until we quietly go
mad.
1324
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:42,440
I I think we're a little too in
deep with this to take that
1325
01:14:42,440 --> 01:14:44,040
route.
Yeah, probably.
1326
01:14:44,480 --> 01:14:51,440
Yeah, we'll see how it goes.
At night, while folks are
1327
01:14:51,440 --> 01:14:56,280
asleep, an old man we just see.
I don't know, maybe you even
1328
01:14:56,280 --> 01:15:02,440
dreamed this a little bit.
An old man puts a note under
1329
01:15:02,440 --> 01:15:05,560
each of your doors.
You'll read it when you wake up,
1330
01:15:06,480 --> 01:15:08,320
but I'll let you know what it
says.
1331
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:13,960
It says beware.
You meddle in things you do not
1332
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:20,080
understand and put your soul at
jeopardy and there is just a
1333
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:33,160
cross on it.
Thanks for listening.
1334
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:37,120
President Killworth was Damian
JB Falk was Nathan K Morgan was
1335
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:41,080
Renee, and as is often the case,
Daniel was our GM Colin Kane was
1336
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:43,680
Russell who also mixed mastered
in music this episode.
1337
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:46,520
Special thanks to Theodore Monk
for reading our intro this week.
1338
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:48,840
He's got a new podcast called
the Friendship Factory that's
1339
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:50,920
nothing like this, but you might
want to check it out anyway.
1340
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:53,720
Our album art is by Trinity to
the Tea Time witch.
1341
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:56,840
Our main theme is by Claire LW
on SoundCloud, and we have a
1342
01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:58,560
website and discord.
You're more than welcome to
1343
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:01,200
check out if you dare.
You may also be interested in
1344
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:03,800
checking out Renee's new Deviant
Art page where they're posting
1345
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:05,760
all the paintings they're doing
inspired by the show.
1346
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:08,640
Additionally, I and everyone
from Daniels Dread Tales want to
1347
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,120
give a heartfelt thank you to
everyone who popped in and or
1348
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:14,720
donated during our 24 hour extra
live stream, including long
1349
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:16,600
timer Moirath.
I don't know how to pronounce
1350
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:19,560
this, but I'll say damn.
D&D and Cat, who is probably
1351
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:21,840
moored from the stars, aren't
all right Discord, but she pops
1352
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:23,080
into ours too, and she's
awesome.
1353
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:26,120
This is Damien from Daniels
Dread Tails and I would like to
1354
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:30,120
extend a heartfelt thank you to
everyone who showed up and
1355
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:31,560
donated.
Thank you.
1356
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:32,880
Thank you.
Thank you.
1357
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:34,400
Thank.
You we're already talking about
1358
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:37,000
what to do for next year.
OK, thanks for listening.
1359
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:39,160
And until next time.
The Inquisiteers theme is by
1360
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:41,720
Kyle Fryer on SoundCloud and is
used with permission from the
1361
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:43,800
cast of Wrath and Story.
Original lyrics by me.
1362
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:44,840
This will make sense in a
minute.
1363
01:16:57,170 --> 01:17:04,010
OK, OK, Mythos book theme.
Use the main theme book time
1364
01:17:04,210 --> 01:17:06,970
we're reading mythos.
No, that's awful.
1365
01:17:07,930 --> 01:17:11,530
Maybe a parody of which boom.
No, that's insane.
1366
01:17:11,530 --> 01:17:16,840
Which puts in hell, maybe I
don't have to start from scratch
1367
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:23,240
in the depths of the earth.
Great evil works hints at it's
1368
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:28,120
revelry in written works.
And what they don't know is the
1369
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:30,960
greatest folk, our investigators
read.
1370
01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:37,800
Now from the library they grow K
Morgan call and K Reginald JB 2.
1371
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:44,800
What are they going to read and
distribute to you?
1372
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:54,200
It's time to choose a book now
kind of long wait.
1373
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:57,440
Of course, the underlying lesson
of every episode of Off Book,
1374
01:17:57,440 --> 01:18:03,560
the improvised musical Zack and
Jess magic rhymes with tragic.
