What you're about to experience will contain violence, disturbing imagery, adult themes,
and may leave you hungry for power and blood. Procede at your own risk.
Some things seem inevitable for a hunter. The peak behind the curtain can
be too much. Being overwhelmed will happen one way or another. But while
they still have breath and blood, beddrive itches at them to do what is
right and continue the battle. In these nights, there are no small victories,
no marginal defeats. The hunt takes no prisoners, and anyone left alive
at the end is precious. The group has broken and scattered. A month
has passed since Sunnie's betrayal underneath the Cathedral and the Hood's death. Since then,
reports of the Mark have increased and reports of its victim's death have stopped.
And we find Diana in a bar alone. What does it look like,
Diana, drink in hand. Pretty dismal, but I'm definitely not I
mean three months because I'm definitely not a very friendly looking patron of the bar.
Mm hmm. It's not an unfriendly looking place, but it's quiet and
the mood is very still in here. Fortunately for you, it's neither the
aec nor the white hoss. But out of the corner of your eye you
see someone sidle up to the seat next to you, the seat taken by
you. Evidently it can be I guess yeah. And then a man,
maybe thirty, basic looking, smart, casual with a suit, sits down
and turns to you and puts his pint down next to your drink and just
says, so, I wants someone as gorgeous as you doing all alone?
Mm hmm. Do you really want to know? I asked, I'm yeah,
I'm free tonight, so and I'm a good listener, sir, h
do you know? Do you want to know what this is? Uh?
Lipstick? It's blood now apparent blood red? Sure, Now apparently this has
the power to bring someone back from the edge of death. That's some pretty
power for stuff, you know. I'm a doctor, so I'm kind of
used to these things. Seen a lot of blood in my time. The
question is when do you use it other people more deserving of being brought back.
Uh, it's a tough decision. You have to do it. What
does it mean? What does it mean to deserve something? Life? Goodness,
badness, evil? We say I didn't deserve that. I deserve better.
What does it mean, Ethan? Did you know there is a monster
just outside the door. You could be as strong as you'll ever be,
and you still can't protect the people that deserve to be safe. And so
the question is who gets this? I think you've lost me a little?
Is a metaphor do you want it to be a metaphor? Does that make
you feel nice? Safe? I want whatever makes you happy, m happy?
Yeah? You said you're a doctor? Yeah? Yeah? How do
you feel when one of your patients doesn't survive? It can be odd at
first. I've kind of grown a little bit callous to it. It's part
of the job. Kah, Yeah, I've never wanted to grow calless to
it. What do you do for a job? I'm a hunter, like
like a head hunter, like a hunt beasts, monsters, things that kill,
things that eat right. And this has made you unhappy? Are you
happy in your job? And what you do? Sometimes? When when I
when I get something right, when when I the medicine works, and when
it doesn't and you get it wrong and people are hurt and you can't help
them anymore, what do you do? I you're the doctor? Yeah,
I guess people. I don't. I'm not so much a doctor. I
thought you said you were a doctor. I'm going to be a doctor a
student. Yeah, so you've not treated anybody. No, that's interesting.
He told me you were a doctor a second ago when you wanted to take
me home. Have you changed your mind? No, this is a really
nice conversation. But you got you got me. I hope you don't mind
too much. Did you know that vampires are real? Do you know that
monsters really exist? A prey there? Blood can cure someone from the brink
of death. Oh yeah, then why aren't all the hospitals you're using it?
I wouldn't know. I'm not a doctor, and neither are you.
Evidently, So you've got this miracle cure. What are you going to do
with it? I'm going to give it to a man who doesn't deserve it,
because I'm not the one to decide who deserves who deserves things. Yeah,
okay, And at that moment, you see someone else come up behind
this guy, and you just hear the voice of Martin, your brother just
say yeah, last loser, get get out out of my chair, out
out out, and he badges this man until he like looks at you,
both very confused and kind of relieved, and picks his drink and moves to
out the side of the bar. Hello, Diana, Hello Martin. How
many funnels is it tonight? Ah? I'm offended, only one. I'm
better these days. I'm glad to hear it. M hmm. You don't
call, you don't write. What's going on, Diana? I fucked up,
Martin, That's what's going on. I put too much hope into an
idea. I believed in something too much, and lo and behold didn't work
out. So here we are. I have a cure for father. Are
you joking? I hand over the vial. What is this what you were
looking for? Apparently it will heal him? Okay, I could. Is
that all I wanted to know if you were okay? Is that true?
Yes? I didn't come here to get some sort of vile of goop.
Mm hmm. It's blood actually from a vampire. So if you you know,
I thought you'd want to know before you administer it to our Comato's father.
But it should heal him, and it's the best lead lead that I
possibly have, So do with it what you will. Okay, my hands
are clean. As they say, right, thank you, thank you for
doing that. Then I did it for you. I and and so I
should do something for you. Now you don't have to. I it's not
necessary, Diana, I want to my My wife is pregnant with twins.
Congratulations, Martin, My goodness, you're going to be an aunt. Oh
well you are you? Are you planning on tradition? Or which tradition would
that be? Mm hmm. One is the hunter and as taught by the
hunter? Do I need to stay in town? Is what I'm asking?
Well, I would prefer you to stay nearby, yes, but I was
thinking about that particular tradition. I have a slightly new perspective. Father told
me something before before I before he went to Newcomer, and I thought you
should know, especially now. Uh. He mentioned that he had taken an
opportunity to make a deal with someone that managed to save his life. It's
the only reason he's not dead right now. What was the deal? I
don't know the specifics, but he exchanged Reese's life for it. M h.
When he wakes up, I will make sure that he tells you.
But he also mentioned that this is hereditary. I will have the exact same
option, and it's also the reason why we come in pairs. Yes,
h H, So what then, I I don't know. I don't know
how it works. But he made a deal with something evil to save himself
at the expense of our uncle. And I don't know if I could do
that. Perhaps he would try to convince you, as I'm sure his father
before him did. Yes, well, the the d family certainly has a
history of consorting with things but beyond our understanding, and I know, I
just want to you know what I got of the family name. So what
you're going to condemn one of your children to die? That's uh, unfortunately
on the cards to keep the family going. Loyalty, service duty, H
Yes, I don't. I don't. I'm sorry, Dinah. He was
better than him, you know, rees, it was better than father in
every way. He taught me everything, everything, And I'm sorry that you
were not privileged to receive his tutelige as well. But I hope you know
life could be better now you use that however you wish. I don't care,
and I suppose when my time comes, i'll know. I hope you
don't, but I understand if you do. Tradition this is just stupid thing.
Your brother gets up and begins to leave. I get up and I
follow him. No, I want to hear it from his mouth. You
told me that when he woke up that he would tell me himself. I
want to hear it from his mouth. You're taking me now? We do
it now? Yeah, okay, I'm assuming your man hasn't got the car
around. Come with me. I follow him and for or maybe up to
an hour of long, silent driving, you arrive in the same mansion where
you know that your father is laid up in a medical bed in a needlessly
fancy house, and your brother takes you to his bedside, and he begins
to inject your father with the blood that you've given him. In a surprisingly
short amount of time, your father's eyes flutter open. Martin, Diana,
but I have some water, please. I don't move. Your brother doesn't
move either. Is everything okay? Children? What happened? I looked at
Martin. I say nothing. Martin walks to the other side of the room
and pours your father a glass of water, comes back and puts a straw
in it and gives it to him. Father. You're going to answer Diana's
question I'm afraid you don't have a choice. And your father looks a little
bit confused, a little bit betrayed, and then he looks to you.
Diana, quickly, girl, what happened to Reese? You've asked me this
so many times it's become tiresome. He died on a hunt. It's not
true, you know it. Tell me the truth for once in your miserable
life. There's no point in being angry at me. This is how our
family works. If you think you've figured it out. No, Reese didn't
die on a hunt. I killed him. And how did it feel to
kill your own brother? I don't know what you think of me any more?
But we entered into a contract a very long time ago, and I
saw an opportunity to make the world better. All it cost was Rhys's life.
Have you ever heard of the dark Heart? Yes? Good. Since
our family diverged from that of whatever blood we had that the magicians used,
we became hunters, and being so close things of power made us feel very
small in comparison. But my grandfather took an opportunity. We would be born
in pairs, one a hunter and one to manage everything else. He learned
the true name of something and in using it. And he extends his hand
to you and shows a burned black mark on his palm. They have strength.
I have extended life, and I can protect this family. And our
interests are much longer than someone who stakes vampires. Your battles are small and
mine are big. Does the dark mark look the same with its investigation?
One? It all I can tell you unless you want to reroll? Is
it does not? I want to reroll? Can I spend willpower to do
so? Absolutely? Reroll? Three dice three d ten yea M. Okay,
you're aware that the symbol on everyone everyone's hand that you've seen so far
is a circle with a dot in it. Three lines descending from one part
of that circle. This one as a circle with a dot in it,
and that is the only similarity. The patterns are much more complex and involve
semi circles kind of two of them in an M shape. But it's the
same magic. Then if it's you can similar structuralise that it has a similar
structure, but it is not directly related. Okay. At one end there
is a semi circle that is in an M shape and another one facing the
opposite direction. At the other end that makes it look like it has horns.
Okay, mm hmm. Martin will decide what to do with you,
and he will take up my mantle until that day. There is nothing you
can do, and there's clearly much for me to catch up on. So
is there anything else you would like to know, Diana? I doubt you'll
tell me, but might as well ask who is this being that your great
grund father learned the name of? Since I'm to die by its name anyway,
that's the trick. I could describe it to you, but that wouldn't
really do any Yoda. I don't I don't know what its name is anymore.
I had to give it back. How will you pass it to much?
One day he will find it? M hmm. And that is all
I can say. Lovely. Now we are verging very closely to the edge
of our contract, and I'm not willing to breach that, so of course
not Martin. Please help me up, and from there your brother reluctantly begins
to help him out of bed. I leave, Where do you go?
I am so angry. I don't know where I'm going. I think I
leave the estate and I get in the car and I just say drive and
Alistair begins to drive, and that is when we moved to Jack and we
transition to daytime. What does Jack look a look like on this lonely street
in the early hours of the morning, determined, a little bitter, but
focused to staring at a house you know exactly who is inside. What are
you going to do? I've been waiting for this moment for two decades.
I have found a monster and now I am going to end it's fucking existence.
You can see that I'm holding something in each hand. In one hand
there's a small drone and in the other much larger. And I've scouted this
house, you know, over the past week or so, and no,
it's vulnerabilities well enough that I have an entry point. So I would like
to send my recon drone into a window along the side of the house that
I've made an opening in and start taking a look around in there. As
you go through the house, it seems relatively normal from what you expect.
It's in a street of very normal looking houses, and eventually you make it
to the bedroom. And as you've observed over the last week, the only
full difference between this house and any other is the extensive use of things to
block out the sun. Mm hmm. And in the bedroom you see a
woman lying very very still on the bed. Perfect. I'll recall my recondrone
and I'm probably visibly shaking at this point. You don't know if it's rage
or fear, maybe a little of both. And I'll switch off, uh
the recondrone and send in a drone about twice the size directly to that bedroom.
Hmm. On your way through, you see obviously this woman that you
recognize the murderer on the bed, and then you catch on the floor someone
who is clearly her victim, covered in blood. A corpse looks like a
corpse, but I can't tell if they're alive. Uh ws awareness. Yeah,
I would definitely like to to try to see if they're alive. Oops.
I heard something row, but I did not mean to rule that.
So m here we go. Oh, six successes. Because you've got a
crit There are two things you notice about this corpse, One that it is
in a vast pool of its own blood, and two that it is still
moving very weakly. I'm going in. Uh. I think I just put
a rock through this window to widen it more, and I don't care if
I cut myself, and then if I can unlock the window. Mhmm.
You throw a rock through the window, and as you put your hand through
the blow broken pane, you tear your arm on one of the spikes,
but the door of the window is now open. All right, I'm gonna
tear my tank top and just kind of tie it tightly around this wound.
Can I stop the blood? Oh? Yes, it's not super deep,
but it is something that you'll need to attend to eventually. Yeah, so
just not life threatened. God damn it. Listings okay, and I have
have I made it in the window or have I cut myself? You are
you are all right? Recondrone is going to be posted outside the room with
the victim and monster and and so the armed drone, and I'm going to
try to vary silently creep into there and drag this corpse. Please roll me
a dexterity plus stealth. It is not difficult. I have some stealth.
I'm not too worried. Yea three h You creep up the stairs. Imagine
it managed to gather up the body, and now you are in the room
holding someone else covered in blood, moving weakly who cannot open their eyes.
But you can see the person very close now who murdered your girlfriend. And
that's the sleeping form on the bed, the sleeping form on the bed.
I drag this person onto the landing of the stairs outside of this room,
and I send the heavier drone in and light all of the curtains on fire,
and then the bed and I stand there for a moment to make sure
they catch. As soon as the flame consumes them, you see them bolt
up right and begin to flail desperately, screaming in agony. And that is
when the curtains burn and fall to the ground. A stream of light focuses
on the bed and begins to tear the dust that is emanating from this vampire
off the bone. From behind you, you hear, dis Christ, what
is going on? What do I see? What is it? The person
that I dragged out, the person you've dragged out hasn't moved. You turn
around and you see Baronica. No, no, you see your girlfriend at
the bottom of the stairs. I just scream, Barnica, it's Jack Jesus
Christ. Check what are you doing? Put her out? Put her out?
No, what are you doing? I can't put her on the fire,
and she begins desperately looking for something. Barnica, what the fuck,
I'm just I'm uh. I don't think I can grab this body right now.
I'm just you're alive. I think I've run to her. You slide
and probably almost fall down the stairs, and at the bottom she catches you.
What the fuck? What do you mean? What the fuck? Jack?
I thought you were dead? Put out the fire, Jack. Oh.
She grabs you by the shoulders and begins to squeeze. Please put out
the fire, Jack, pruh. Why why I can't put out the fire?
Jack? I'm not gonna let that thing live killed you? It took
you away. Who won't let it live? I try and get out of
her grasp. Hmmm strength athletics ooh oh oh oh, also not difficult.
Okay, m athletics Okay, three successes, even though she is significantly stronger
than you remember her being. You pull your shoulders out of her grip and
she stumbles. Please check, I can't go up there. Why it's because
you're a monster. I'm not a monster. And then what the fuck it's
been twenty years? Does she look older to me? She doesn't look any
older, but she does look paler, and at this point, as you
watch the fire glint in her eyes, you can see desperate fear that she
is holding back, and her fangs begin to reveal themselves. I'm gonna I
scramble up the stairs. I'm sending my arm drone downstairs and fucking torture.
I'm definitely sobbing. It spared to me what it looks like when you kill
the revenant remains of your girlfriend. I'm on my knees up on the landing
and I send the drone down, and I don't target any fucking furniture.
I target her and just try to destroy her. She goes up quickly,
just like the other one, and again you watch her flail bird, I
love you. I loved you too, Jack fuck and try and grab this
person and drag them. You drag them, and black smoke fills the air
and your lung. The fuck I'm trying to drag them to the window.
You fall out of the window that you broke in. You see the flames,
huge coming out of the back of this house. I just screamed,
fuck you, burn, fuck you, Oh my god. I'll crawl away
from the house. Drag I'll drag this person away, m recall the drones,
which is just a slap of a few buttons, and get the fuck
out of you. I think I I'm dialing nine one one. By the
time that you've dragged this person somewhere safe and you are far away from this
building, you can already hear the sirens and you don't You don't need to
call the services. I just leave them in a safe at a safe distance
from the house, and probably just show again. Fuck before you leave them.
They come around. You see the hair fall out of this woman's face,
and she opens her eyes and grabs you very tirly. You're going to
be fine. You're gonna be fine. Who are you? I'm no one,
I hope is on the way. You realize that she has a black
mark on her hand and dead eyed, she looks into yours and asks,
can you help these I I'm so very hungry now I can't fucking help you.
Oh pale? Is this individual? Like? Is this am I seeing
a freshly turned the black mark? But I'm a mess. I am trying
to determine if this is a monster. She looks pale and hearty, but
she was lying in a pool of blood. She upstairs, right she was?
I mean she is definitely roughed up from having been drunk from Okay,
the fuck hungry? For what anything? I'm bleeding? I am going to
loosen this bandage and hold it a few feet over and hold my arm a
few feet over her face and say for this and squeeze and see her response.
She looks a little disgusted. She dips her finger in the pool of
blood on the floor that you create, grabs it on her tongue, and
then the revulsion returns. Why doesn't it taste of anything? What do you
mean? I don't know what was it supposed to taste like? Supposed to
taste like blood? I don't know what's going on and what happened up there?
Who are you? I? I can't really remember? And she pulls
herself up by your clothes and on to her feet. The fuck h I'm
going to go now? No, you need help? What were you doing
up there? They attacked me? Where you gonna go? You don't even
fucking know who you are? I have oh, I, oh, yeah,
I'm gonna So she was able to stand. Is that right? Yes?
Can I call an uber? Yes? They're just tapped for an uber.
Look, I'll just I'll bring you to mind. You can, you
know, rest for a minute and try and figure out you really look pretty
bad though. Oh okay, why did you know those people? Did you
know those people attacked me? What? How long have you been here?
A couple of nights ago? I think? Just sit down. No,
we'll get you see if Okay, so that your friends? No, Oh
okay, So I'm gonna see if she will wait with me, And yeah,
I just kind of want to see if her memory comes back at all.
You keep asking her questions, and it seems like there are flickers of
remembrance. She doesn't remember her name. She has a black mark on her
hand, and it matches the ones that you've seen on the priest and in
photos. And that is when we are going to move to Calor again,
alone and somewhere very different from everyone else. What trail are you following?
Calla h ah, that's a good question. It's been three months, right,
yep, I imagine quite a lot has changed for you. I think
I'm closing in on something, right. You've followed the clues, You've used
your intellect and your opportunities to find hidden information. Yes, now you are
certain you know where sunglasses at nights USB is hidden and where is that?
There is a hidden section of wall, supposedly that is just above a canal
in the center of town. You're familiar with this now because you were quite
close to there when you were at the cathedral. So I'm imagining that,
even though it has been sometime, are the memories of what happened at the
cathedral something you would avoid or they're trying to wind their way in because of
the location. But if you like to ignore them, I'd like to do
my best to do so. Yes, Okay, you stand on one side
of a canal and look at a red brick wall over the water and comes
directly out of it on the opposite side. There's no clear way to climb
down here without being really obvious, and not that that would be a problem
in the middle of the city, but it's just kind of awkward, suspended
above some water with no clear footpath there. Have I seen others use this
or have I tried it myself? Or do I just know of it?
You just know about it, and you've not really seen anything that suggests anyone
else knows anything about it? And what do I know about secret entrance,
because I pybe know how to get in here, but I don't think Cala
does. Right, just that there's a secret entrance somewhere along here. M
from the clues you've been given, it appears that there may be something like
hidden behind a brick on that side, So you'd have to find a way
of the water, or or you could just climb down. Climb down,
Yeah, I'll do that. Okay, let's do a dexterity athletics role please
one success, you don't end up immediately in the water. But what does
interrupt your climbing is a mm hmm? Hello, calor do I recognize this
voice? This is Jonathan proudly was a sub entry. Don't recognize his voice?
Then? Okay, I freeze in place for a second before I continue
down. It was a mistake. I shouldn't have reacted to my name,
but I did. Anyway, is he above me or below me? Like?
Is he down on that he is where you were previously stood watching you
climb? Okay, okay, do you need a hand? I'm sorry?
Who are you? Oh? You know me as crowdy? Unfortunately it's me
Jonathan. Oh shit, I think I look reposed for a moment, I
do not take a hand. I continue crawling until I am standing. I
would feel much safer that way. Okay, you just continue climbing until I'm
yeah, till I'm where I need to be, so that I'm standing and
I'm not in an awkward position in case he attacks me or anything like.
I just don't feel safe at the moment, so I want to kind of
be on my own feet. If that means I have to crawl back then
okay. Uh, as far as you're aware, this wall is continues to
be flat, so you could proceed, or you could climb back up that.
It's up to you. Is it far enough for me to like jump
down or is it too far? Sure? Okay, you jump down.
Yeah, I just want to be on my feet in case it comes at
me, which sounds crazy, but I think honestly, you are surprised.
You expected to find a handhold and a foothold when you landed, but instead
you land quite hard and it sort of twists your ankle when you fall through
the wall face first through the wall. Oh, and it just kind of
dissipates and all you hear is dyl Lord, are you okay? I'm fine?
I guess that answers how that works? How did you find me?
And are you coming down here or what? I'm yes, I can,
I can try and make it across, Uh, Calor, I just wanted
to know that you were okay. Well I am. You can go now.
Isn't this against the rules anyway? Well, we both know that the
rules are made to be broken. I find it far more you say that
given the circumstances, I think it makes a lot of sense for me to
check you disappeared, Calor, is it a I don't want to shout this
across you as okay if I come up there, yeah, yeah, okay,
And after some awkward climbing, he eventually, very very gingerly places a
foot inside and then plants both feet and is looking surprised that he hasn't fallen
through the floor. Well, how did you find me? So, as
a more broke the rules again? I looked up your IP address and then
I kind of knocked up where you would be. So I'm sorry for the
invasion, but I saw your final post on the forum and I did want
to check. I will toss over a little kind of like a mini canteen
that I carry with me or that on your hand, it's holy water.
I just want to make sure you are who you say you are, of
course, And he unscrews it and rubs his hands and washes them and returns
the canteen to you. Great, And now I throw a crucifix over,
because sometimes the holy water doesn't work and I'm extra paranoid. He catches the
crucifix and looks it over and says, in my experience, these things usually
have to be blessed by a true believer for them to be who I suppose
you've got me there? I can't tell by looking. Were you expecting it
to work? No? But I have been a hunter for a while now,
and I thought we were supposed to be helping each other. I work
alone now, no sunny seaside. Whilst not who they appeared to be,
I've deleted their access to the forum obviously. I've also tried to track them
down, but I could only get so far. I'm sorry for what they
did to you. I'm fine, Yes, well, I'm sorry. If
I don't believe you, it's fine. Can I have the crucifix back now?
Right? Yes, let's throw it and don't come near me, of
course, And he throws it. I do know what it feels like.
Yeah, I run a forum full of hunters who go missing occasionally, and
well I did that because because I'd lost someone before and I wanted to stop
it from happening. So please, I know you're angry, but you don't
have to be angry at me. You know what really fucked me up?
Cly what realizing that's why the rule is in place. But this has happened
before. Would you like to know about him? Well, it makes you
feel better. It has been a a while. I've come to terms with
some of it, but it might. But today it's not about me.
I was wondering if you needed help finding whatever you're looking for here? And
what am I looking for? Did you mention the USB on the forum?
I think you probably did? It probably did, But again, it's been
three months and my last post was pretty abrupt, So who knows what I'm
doing right now? Well I can make a stab in the dark and say
it is either something to do with the black mark on people's hands or it
is something to do with that USB you seemed so enamored with. Why Why
do I want to help you? The forum was my responsibility and despite everything
I have done, people still got hurt again. So I am here.
I am at your disposal bleats. Let me make up for it. Oh,
I think I'll manage. You have any information, leave it outside my
door. And that doesn't seem quite fair for me to do, But that
is a fair Jobe. I I maybe do have information that could help you.
I don't know if you're looking for anything else. I just I found
out how to track the people getting the marks. This doesn't seem like somewhere
well, actually, let me rephrase. It seems like someone would get it
here. A lot of filth on the walls. I pull out my backpack,
and I pull out a tape recorder, which is what I use now,
and I will go ahead and record go on, because I can't be
bothered to take notes recording. Of course, it has gone analog. It
seems. After a little bit of investigation and some correlation of things that weren't
public knowledge, I found out that you can almost entirely accurately discover who could
have a mark by following certain disasters around the city, Accidents, things that
seemed like they shouldn't have happened, or perhaps were quite dangerous and From there
you can find out who is involved, and there seemed to be some sorry,
is there any way to determine what should or should not have happened?
Or is it just instinct like, oh, this roof fell down in this
church doesn't seem like it should do that since it just had repairs three years
ago type thing. Yes, and watching him to see if he reacts to
that, because that is a specific instance that I'm ah, I'm gonna do
a role. So you've done your own investigations, Yes, that's exactly what
I mean, right, Okay, don't I don't know what happened to the
people who were in that roof collapse, but one of them is dead now,
so I suppose the trend continues. That's all I have for you.
I'm afraid in terms of information at least, but I would like to offer
a helping hand when you decide that you're willing. He takes off his glasses
and begins to clean them. For so long I wanted your attention, and
here you are and I don't care and I don't want it. Cala,
you never lost my attention. You had it from the moment you joined the
forum. Are you actually concerned? About my well being or are you just
interested at how close I am? Kella, I find that insulting. Look,
I cannot convince you of what you truly do not believe. If you
never want to talk to anyone from the forum again, so be it.
But I did not create this community so that you could disrespect the memory of
my dead boyfriend and the things that I wanted to do for him. There
are hunters on there that have equally difficult lives, and I think it would
be best if you talk to them, because they actually understand I'm good and
help we m hm, I'm sorry, I truly am. How do I
wrust you? I can give you my phone number if you'd like, I'll
do. He hands over a scrap of paper. No, I will back
up if he moves toward me. You can say it out loud into the
recorder, or you can put the piece of paper down and walk away.
Right he does both, I think I just break down as soon as he's
gone. It took everything in my power to try to stay angry, but
I can anymore. So I've tried so hard to forget about Sonny and what
happened, and it's like, right in front of me, and I imagined,
I imagined him taking his glasses off and what that would look like for
so long that to actually see it in person wound it me, especially under
these circumstances. Well, I'm here now, I'll pick up the scrap of
paper and I will turn off the tape recorder, pull out my torch,
and continue walking down whatever the fuck this is. It appears to be a
very old, kind of like an arch that leads into another arch next to
it, and along the side of this canal, And aside from the one
bluesery wall that you appear to have broken, all of the others are solid.
And yet you can still hear that trickling of water as the canal goes
by. And eventually you find a place that is changed from the rest of
it in that this particular red brick is scuffed around the edges, and after
a little bit of prying, you managed to pull it out. And what
happens when I do this? Do you put your hand in there? Yes,
I fear nothing except help you feel a piece of paper and a small
piece of plastic plastic stick. Oh my god, it's the USB? Is
it the USB? You pull it out and it looks like a USB if
it had been crushed and dismantled. Clearly, whatever it used to be,
it doesn't work anymore. Wow, we'll see about that. Jack might be
able to do something about it. I will tuck the USB into my pocket
and I will escape towards our old eyed out where Jack should be. Do
you read the oh? Absolutely all that it says on it? Is?
It kind of scrawled old fashioned hand of joined writing that just says I'm sorry,
you got to keep the mask up? Can I roll for that?
In three months? Have I uncovered masquerade as a term? Oh? This
is going to be an extremely difficult intelligence a cult rule. I'm going to
try. Intelligence are in? Oh right? Okay? Intelligence a cult?
Intelligence a cult? Hmmm? For successes this, I think you do not
discover the word specifically or as like a proper capital M masquerade, but it
can be thought of as such. You have since you met Danny or t
your investigations have led you in a direction that implies that the rules of whatever
vampire society exists are in place, specifically to keep it a secret. Okay,
I will fold up the note, I will put it in my pocket,
and I get out of there. I will put the thingy back though,
so it doesn't look like anybody got in here. I would also like
to note I think I'm like, I'm wearing a hoodie and gloves and I'm
trying to be as discreet as possible. I don't know what what it's been
three months? Does that mean it's like January for us? Good? Or
is it now right now? Yeah? Okay, Yeah, that's what I
thought. Okay, And yeah, I've got, you know, my gloves
and shit on, and I'm I just pull up my hoodie and I fuck
off into the night. And I don't have a phone that can text anymore.
I just have a little I have a little flip burner phone because I
normally would text Jack to let her know I'm on the way, okay,
but I can't do that, so I will ring her, let it ring
three times, and then hang up. I know Jack does not exactly what
that means at this point, So we moved to where they could be meeting
eventually. But at the moment it is just Olly and CEO on their own
as we go to a break, and we will see them in a little
while. Inside the office. It is probably significantly changed a lot messier,
probably a little bit darker and a lot lonelier. But we find Oli and
THEO one deep in books, one deep in FIFA fava straight ps two good.
What research have you been doing, Ollie? Well? Since the Screaming
skull awardly all was an absolute fucking bust. I found nothing on this goddamn
dog. Although we haven't been back to the cathedral or the church. The
only thing is this fucking library, which might have a book I want.
It's home, Hector's Grimore or I ain't got fucking nothing. What's it been
like for the both of you for the last three months staying here, even
though most of the others have I wouldn't they gone, but they've certainly abandoned
you someone There's always been me and THEO. Yeah, not much to it
really, It's always been like this. Does kind of suck that he doesn't
read any of the reports I make him though, kind of sucks that you
won't play fever straight with me. Not real fucking footy is it? And
it make things worse? He got beaten by Manchester United on the plass side.
I did make some changes to the vain it is and this is untested
but apparently fully fucking bulletproof. What did you strap to the sides? I
didn't strap nothing to it. I met a bloke called Chas kah As his
mate, as his brother, mhm, drive down there, left it with
him for a week. He lined the whole thing with bulletproof. Nice.
You know there's no such thing as bulletproof. It's bullet resistant, if anything,
Well, he said, bulletproof, all right, it cost Diana a
few quid. Oh are you just sitting there and I'll fucking shoot it?
You are all right? Fuck off? I'm gonna fucking shoot at you.
Or if it doesn't work, it'll work. I ain't got a crossbow yet
or a grenade. Well, I've been working on something called fire breathing dragon
bullets VI breathing dragon bullets, something like that, he said. I don't
know. I was off my fucking tips for a change. Remind me,
did you manage to get those or was it just a conversation? Noah,
I've been able to get out of much except for some bullet proofness system they've
in the newspaper. If interesting? Not really? Nah? I did it
once around that church the other night. Again. Nothing, no dog,
no shifty looking people heard. Uh, oh, Elouise, the woman we
were talking about, the one Beatrice taught me about, the sexy one.
What Eloise? Oh is that Callor's real name? Yeah, all right,
I did see her. She looks well different. You fucking saw Calor.
She all right, yeah, yeah, yeah, she's fine. She is.
Yeah, she's doing all right. I ain't fucking you the word from
her. Oh yeah, well she she wanted a bit of Charlie, keep
herself up one night for something. You fucking sold Calors, some Charlie,
some of your Charlie. Mind Charlie, that's the good ship. She didn't
even know what she's getting. She basically got fucking piritan. That's what she
got. Probably for the best brother, I've seen your fucking Charlie. These
are yesterday's papers. We got today's. I can't go and get them.
Yeah, we'll go. No monster and a cornetto it is ten to eleven,
you know that, right, it's getting from the garage. No.
I mean, if you're drinking a fucking red bull now, you're gonna be
out all night. Yeah. Well, I still don't know what these twelve
symbols mean. We'll do it tomorrow. What do tomorrow? What are going
doing there? And then there'll be new papers tomorrow. Why are you in
such a rush because we ain't solved nothing, We ain't fann nothing. I'll
find something soon, I mean, we know they're fucking here, don't we,
right yet nothing for like three months. I'll get one eventually. It
just pick me up some papers. That big fucker I ain't come back here,
you know what I mean? Which big fucker sonny? They weren't sunny
though, right, No? I know, but he's probably fucking long gone.
But you know he's weird. If he knew was it, wouldn't he
be on the fucking door. That's why I'm saying, what if he is
on the fucking door? Well, you eat on the fucking door. You're
out there every four minutes, right, Yeah, But you can turn himself
into a dinosaur. So maybe he can turn himself into like a rat or
something. You know, maybe he isn't here, you reckon? They could
make himself. What about mass? Eh? Well, I can see something
growing, right, you fill it with empty space here, but you still
got that same amount of mass. Now you're going to turn it into something
smaller. Where does that mass go? Is it linked intrinsically to the universe,
does it? It's magic, ain't it? Basically? All right?
Magic still has a basis in reality. It happens in reality. Listen,
you can't science. Everything beg to fucking differ, and so does John d
Well. There ain't no fucking science. What backs up a gaz are turning
into a fucking t rex? Yeah? I suppose figured that that out wet
of blood or blood you've been working on that? How much of it?
Do we need a picture? The fuck do you mean? Are you fucking
broken? You're belling? All right? Reimprove me? You can't improve on
perfection? All right? Have you fucking playing real? Ceo? We can
back off. I don't want to fucking do it. I don't need to
fucking do it. Yeah, you do need to do it, all right.
It ain't some sort of fucking self punishment. It happened, all right,
the it happened. Yeah, you served your fucking time. We've got
to get you up. Yeah, that's not how it works, Well it
should be. What if that fucking thing comes back, you know, or
we meet something else and do something worse, right, What if you're going
to be more effective out of the chair. That's what I'm saying. Yah,
I feel I'm not broken. See this, this is fucking me.
Everything I've been through is what makes me me. I ain't fucking broken broth
Alright, but what if something happens to me? Then you know I was
gonna look after you. H I. I'll never let anything happen to here.
I got you to this fucking point, didn't I? Yeah, I
suppose you did. All right. Maybe I didn't do the best fucking job,
but I did the job that I could do. He did a better
job than dad, didn't You. People fucking can do better than that,
prick? Yah. Member of the funeral, it was there, do you
seem, yeah, swarming around or a fucking red tie? Who does that
a fucking funeral? You already said to me how much money did she leave
us? Us? Fucking ass? Yeah? Well good risions? You know
what I mean? H h for see him again? H. I tried
my best, though, Hi, I'm perfect. But just because I'm not
perfect, I don't mean I need to be fixed. Right, will give
me a fucking red bull your prick? Yeah? Yeah, all right,
Uh, I'm probably gonna I take a long way back. I want to
like check out some of the locations again. You know my hang out outside
that club for a bit. Yeah, you see, take some of that
early water with you, only water coming out of everything. I drink it
now in case I need to piss on them. Fucking dickhead THEO. You
are pretty good at looking out for signs of things that are out of place.
So do you stop outside the AAC or are you moving on somewhere else.
I have been spending basically every night I've become completely nocturnal. Every night
is just spent driving around, walking around. I walk down every dark alleyway.
I sit outside that club, I sit outside the church. Those are
the only two places we encountered anything. Right, Oh, I go back
to that the McDonald's. I sit in the McDonald's car park. I've like
tried just following where the caterer ran off to in the direction when Jack chased
her away. I've tried running down that way and figuring out what way she
might have gone. I've done all sorts of stuff like that, and I
think I do a lot of that kind of stuff. I wander around,
I drive around. But yeah, I think i'd sit outside the AEC.
I would probably sit out there at like closing and just before closing. I
would imagine if anyone was going to try and you know, do some weird
vampiric shit, they would probably do it just before closing, pretend they're drunkenly
stumbling home, but before the entire club lets out, or otherwise move out
with the entire crowd. And I'm watching everyone a lot at the time.
Any people that creep off by themselves, I will and I just roll up
to everyone as well. I bowl into people in the street, talk to
them. I offer to sell people drugs, get them into alleyways, watch
their teeth literally trying to go down any sort of kindred shit going on,
but in a very theo way. He doesn't really know what he's doing necessarily.
Hmm. Okay, So you are waiting outside of the AEC and you're
probably here not more than like twenty minutes before you see a woman come out
of the front and immediately looking very concerned, go down the early way that
is right next to it. Yeah, I'm following you follow her a difficult
distance to gauge where it doesn't make you look like the predator. While you're
still trying to suss out exactly what the situation is. And she's not looking
at you, but she is looking around. Do you do a wits awareness
role? Please? Wit awareness? Oh damn for okay, uh yeah,
you realize that as she is making a way down this alley. Just in
the show, you can see glimpses of mottled black fur. It's probably the
most insane thing ever to witness, like this is further that's not on an
animal, or there's an animal in the darkness. Maybe there's an animal in
the darkness. I jump at it. It's completely insane. It's like the
most insane shit ever. You jump at it? Oh my god. Okay,
yeah, that's what are you trying to do? When you jump?
You just like grab it, grabbing. Okay, it's a It might seem
insane, but THEO has been out every night basically looking for anything weird,
trying to find anything. The dog thing he saw is kind of a secondary
priority because he's really after a vamp for two reasons. One he wants something
to do, he needs a purpose, but two he wants the blood.
So he's literally but I think once he maybe there's a thing that his brain
is just immediate, like jump on this if it's just a fucking cat,
then it's just a cat, and he makes an idiot himself who cares?
But if it is the thing, he's not missing the opportunity to engage with
it. Strength sprawl to see if you snatch up this random cat. Does
this count as my desperation thing? I know our desperation down, yes,
So desperation is currently at two for everyone, And I mean, this is
the hunt and this is physical conflict, so you can add two to this.
Okay, four again, okay for successes. You your hands out into
the shadow, and I think it's almost a surprise because you weren't sure whether
it was a trick of the light or something different. But your fingers touch
and wrap around long, shaggy, curly hair, and you realize that you
have grappled the rear leg of a very large dog. Gotcha, you're big
bastard. I pull with all my strength to like pull this thing towards me
or into whatever dim alleyway light there is potentially available to me, trying to,
okay, get an idea of what this thing is. And then also
I'm expecting that you know, even if this is just a fucking alley dog,
it's going to turn around and probably bite me, so I'm aware of
that, but I don't you know, this is like a average sized dude.
THEO isn't big necessarily, but he isn't small. It's probably bigger than
I am in real life. And I would just pull this thing towards me,
yeah, to try and get advantage you. But I'll grab all the
holiday's leg with as strong of a grip as I can manage. I don't
want it to run off. Yeah, I think you managed to shift its
leg like it's poor scrapes along the cobbled street and you watch the full hind
quarters of this dog come into the light and you just hear a very dark
deep and it looks round at you head height. There is a wolf esque
dog head that has its tongue out of slobbering jaws, and there is a
single flame red eye in the middle of its head. Oh hell no,
Uh, That's all I needed to know, all right. I'm letting go
of the dog, and I'm pulling out my gun, which I have not
the not the fucking garrand I have an n Field revolver okay with with silver
bullets in it. And I'm hail marrying this that that that that movie rules
work, because that really is all that is working on, because I don't
think that anything like there's no way that Oliver, and even if Oliver has
told me any idea of how to deal with what might be aware wolf is
just what THEO thinks this is or you know, something similar. He's like,
silver bullet is the only chance. So as soon as I let go
of the leg, I'm pulling for the for the the gun that I keep
in my pocket. So you pull out your gun and you're in the process
of getting ready to fire, and you realize that the woman that was running
away has turned about and is now waving her arms at you, like don't
don't do it. Give her. I'm barely even aware that she's there.
This is a wolf with a flaming eye. My experience with very large animals
in real life is minimal, but every single time I've reacted the same way,
it is primal and terrifying, and it's just hard. It's scary.
It's like deep scary. When an at a big animal is like fucking with
you or growling at you or something. It's and I think THEO is feeling
that the There's two there's only really two things that are happening to THEO.
One is he's pretty paranoid after everything already, like he's actually deep down pretty
scared of the whole world, I think, after the true confirmation of all
of the stuff that they saw a couple of months ago. But two,
it's a lot of just like adrenaline, panic, kill, kill, kill,
get this thing dead. I'm not fucking I've seen what these creatures can
do. I've seen a I've seen two of my friends get injured and put
in the hospital, or two acquaintances get really quickly dismantled by the hood.
And I've seen a person that was playing as a very weak, little new
thin blood turn into this grotesque creature. Just THEO didn't really even fuck around
before, but now it really doesn't. So somebody that he doesn't know shouting
at him, don't do it this kind of thing. I don't. I
just don't think it's going to stop him. I would attempt to pull out
the revolver and immediately shoot the next firearms wolf. Let's see, oh three,
crazy how bad I am at firearms considering it's like my highest skill stat
not my trait and I have the two. But yeah, three, three,
you manage to quick draw your pistol and unload a full clip of silver
into the flank of this creature and across its side, and you can see
the wounds. They do not bleed, but you have damaged it at the
weirdest twisted version of whatever that might mean. But your bullets make an impact.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to divert its attention and begins to prowl towards
you. There is no way that I think THEO has any real understanding of
what to do in this situation. So I think it would just be uh
an immediate kind of like slowly backing away situation, like whoa there, what,
big boy? Ain't you a hi? Big sharp fucking teeth. There's
a ice white smile of teeth, shards of glass smiling through the drawl at
you as it pads closer and closer, and the eyeburn brighter and brighter.
Yeah, I'll be looking for you since the fucking church. Come on,
then, you slag, come on, let's see what you've got, big
boy. I'm watching his mouth with preparing to try and like jump out of
the way, or maybe even like grab him under the neck or something like
that. If he comes for me is the only it's never gonna happen.
But that's kind of where I'm at, just a hyper watching his face,
kind of keeping an eye on him for a fraction before it comes into your
range. It looks around at the woman, smiles again, and she just
says please not again. It turns back around to you, chases you into
the street. All Right'm running for my own van. THEO What does it
feel like we get hit by a car? I mean, the financial car?
Is this how it feels to get hit by the fucking wolf? Literally?
I think all you see is the wolf, but from the side you
experience the crash of metal and squealing of brakes. Yeah. I don't think
I want a particularly massive menagerie of drugs for ones either, So this is
probably pretty brutal. I've never been hit by a car in real life,
but I'm guessing it feels extremely odd because you're probably one second upright, and
the next minute you're suddenly at a strange angle kind of and maybe moving on,
like the world is moving under you as you feel everything turning, And
then maybe after that you get the sensation of an impact, losing your breath
before. I'm spinning across the street at many awkward angles, and it probably
feels like I've had the wind knocked out of me in the worst possible way.
I don't think I have any idea what I'm feeling. I witness my
completely unregistered, completely illegal Enfield number two service revolver from fucking World War two
spin away just I have no idea where it goes, but I know that
it's one of those things that I think I would be hyper aware of losing.
Even in a situation like that. You focus on these weird little elements
sometimes in these kind of traumatic situations, and I'm just like, oh God,
the gun. I can't get caught with the gun. I can't lose
the gun. It's going to get traced back to me my fingerprints, and
then I'm just like sliding out. I have no idea if I lose consciousness
or something like that. As your vision fades to black, all you see
is this woman crying and trying. It looks like she's trying to look at
you, and all you can hear. But again, I didn't want it
to happen. Again. I'm so so sorry. It's it's going to be
okay, and that is the last thing you hear m m cala and Jack.
Jack, You've got the message, and I think there is a safe
place you can meet up. Is it the office? It probably would be
the The workbench is in the mean room. So if I know she's on
our and I can't keep my composure very well once she gets here, I'd
probably sitting on the floor in the office because I think it's now devoid of
furniture, just kind of hugging my knees waiting for I think at this point
you're probably wondering where Ollie has gone. And I'm imagining that this is slightly
divergent timelines in my head where at this point, not that you talk to
them or see them very often. Yeah, I see them talking about you
cross paths, but the awkwardness and the silence makes it difficult. M hm.
So maybe you're not wondering where they are because it's pretty common for you
to be all here at at different times. Yeah, they come and go,
and they've sort of learned that we don't interact a ton and you know,
it's not like we have to stop and converse. So probably rushed in
and whatever they're doing wouldn't have noticed if they were here or not, probably,
but yeah, so I'm just kind of sitting and rocking a little bit,
probably checking my phone every now and again. And uh, Sweeten,
hey, so whatever you did didn't work, because you're never gonna believe who
just found me? Fuck? You mean? Oh my god? What happened?
Are you okay? Yeah? Oh that's wrong? What's wrong? Why
are you crying? What happened? Who found you? What doesn't matter,
It doesn't matter what happened. Yeah, I found her, Okay. I
wanted to have I want to kill that fucking monster. And Verne was there.
She wasn't burn. She spent there the whole time. She never said
I didthing. I never fucking reached home. That heats, Okay, we
did, and then I was trying to protect the fucking thing. Then she
grabbed me head. I killed her. It's gonna be okay. I'll just
hug her. I just bring her in kind of hand on the back of
her head, you know, stroking her hair. And I don't really know
what else to say, but it will be okay, I promise. And
Jack is just sobbing, and who found you what do you what do you
mean you don't do that? It matters, fucking matters. Okay, don't
worry about it later. I don't want to think about this anymore. Just
tell me. Yeah, but you have to just for a minute, otherwise
it's gonna stick with you. It's okay. She's been carrying it for twenty
six years. Let me carry it with you for a while. And I
just start crying with her, I think, and I just huger m.
A while later, Ollie arrives. Oh shit, And as far as you're
aware, nothing has happened alone or he's arriving while we're there. Ollie has
arrived while you're there. And very soon after Olly, you get a phone
call. Hello, I can't tell what's that mister Mason. Yeah, Oliver
Mason. Good, Oliver Mason. Do you know THEO Mason? Yeah?
My brother. Who is this? This is Detective Constable Peewee, and I'm
very sorry to tell you that your brother has been in a very well imaging
incident. He was by a car in the center of town and he is
currently at the hospital. He's been it's beIN at by a car. He's
an hospital, which hospital and he gives you the name of j By hospital.
K hm, So you're what the doctors said. It's a miracle that
he survived. I'm sorry, Uh he is. He is awake and alife
might but he is in a okay, got it, Uh yeah, difficult
position and he may be in hospital for a while. All right, I'll
come at the hospital there. Fuck which one? Okay, we'll find out
in a second. Thank you. Uh we we heard we called an uber.
Are you okay? I've got a bag, I've got what, I've
got water, I've got snacks. We can just go right now the uber
gets here. Hi. By the way, it's nice to right, Yeah,
I mean he's he's he's a life. Yeah, let's go. Yeah,
okay, yeah, thanks. I think at this point you uh,
I have a I have a question, given your difficulty deciding where to go,
Diana, Yes, is this a serendipitous point at which you would arrive
at the office, Yes, okay, I think so you are possibly reminiscing
or maybe even spacing out, and you see very unexpectedly these three run out,
oh of the office, and I am cayl what are you doing here?
Eh h h. I was just driving around and I was, hey,
are you you're right? Right? Do you still have do you still
have accessibility? We need to get to the hospital right now. Yes,
yes, of course, yes we can take Yes, THEO has been in
some sort of accident. Oh god, yes of course. All right,
Alistair, get it ready, let's go. I just at once, well,
I am in emergency mode, and I just kind of fade into the
background as I'm getting everything sorted and everybody sorted. In a bit of a
rush and a blur, all of you arrive eventually at Theo's hospital bed.
THEO, there is something wrong? Yeah, right, I think obviously it's
obviously something wrong your belt. But you know this well before everyone else arrives.
For the last hour that you've been awake, two things have changed.
Stood at the foot of your bed is a shadow that strongly resembles your mother,
And on your palm is a mark that you are intimately familiar with.
All right, is he awake? Is there anything going through Theo's mind before
the others arrive? Otherwise they will be there. How how does my mum
look? I haven't seen her other than in a few photos since I was
six, so she looks much the same as she did in those photos.
Silhouette is very much the same. There's a slight sway and very very faint
smell of alcohol. Yeah, oh that's good. That means it's my memory
or whatever fucking drugs that are mixing in with the drugs that they've mixed whatever
happened. What are the doctors and nurses saying to me? How bad is
it you are in? If you definitely feel like you probably did get bitten
at some point, but there's no marks. In fact, you feel pretty
intact. You're exhausted, but aside from that, and you know, probably
some repercussions of the disorientation, you feel fine is not the right word,
but physically fine, relatively nut of fine, relatively speaking. No obvious problems,
all right. And the thing on my fucking end that nach or nothing
if I touch it fuck with witching? No like, it just feels like
normal skin, except you have aware of the eye on your hand as a
symbol. All right, Yeah, I I don't know, weird I feel
about thing in the end of my bed. I'll probably just sit around and
wait and it does the same, And that is when everyone arrives at your
side, right, bra Right, I rolled directly up to the bed.
Bro your key, Yeah, I'm all right. I happened. I've got
a story for you. Fuck me. You brought the old gang that you're
all right? Did you even find them? I didn't. It just kind
of happened this way, that happened. I'm checking like his arms and legs
and looking like can you feel this? Yes? What the fuck? Bro?
I told you look left and right. I mean they said I was
bout a car, but I mean it might have been something else. What
do you mean is it something close? That fucking door close? Okay?
Well, I just need to know if it was first, is it?
Yeah? Okay? And I actually fuck off to see if I can.
I want to stop his chart from going anywhere, because if it is supernatural,
and I know this hospital is full of vamps, I want to make
sure he's safe. M hm wits investigation Color four. You've been here before.
But also you have a a spark of inspiration and a drive in this,
and you work quickly. You find the right file, you find the
right replacement, and you swap them out. I'll actually take his file and
crumple it up and put it in my pocket. I don't want to swap
it with anybody's. I'll just whoever this person is, Willard now just doesn't
have a file, Sorry, Willard. Hopefully he's not dying of heart disease
or anything important. Nope. Okay, but you convincingly replace his file with
something different, and I'll come and then I'll join everybody in a minute when
that's done. H I don't think that takes you too long, So everyone,
okay, all right, all right? So I wasn't a car.
I don't know. I mean it might have been. Was it that thing
you know from the church, Yeah, from the church, the fucking dog
werewolf? Yeah, it's a fucking were wolf. I mean it might not
be a were wolf. I'm gonna call it a were wolf. It was
definitely a wolf. It attacked you. Technically I attacked it, Josh.
I'm gonna like lift up his head and check his neck. Ow there are
no fang marks, if that's what you're looking for. I'm purposely got got
my hand in our fist, by the way to hide the mark for now.
Mm hmmm, what are you doing you? I'm fine. I ain't
been bit No, I ain't been bit by nothing. You're not fucking fine.
You're in a fucking hospital. It doesn't mean I find I've been hospitals
all the time. I'm in and out of them. I got your chart.
Nobody's going to find you now. Has it got anything on there about
being bitten? Is there any mark or anything that would be weird? Like,
hey, we got to look at this file. This is okay?
You have that? And it says major internal hemorrhaging. It says various broken
bones. It says unusual discoloration on left palm. I look directly at THEO
after reading this. I don't think it's difficult for you to realize I have
seen it. What is your expression? I'm literally just looking at you to
tell me. I moved towards your hand and then I will pull it up.
Well, hold on, what are you doing? It says you've got
something here and I will expose it if you let me. I'm being gentle
and oh my god, yeah, if I can marks on me in it?
But a LOGI, oh ye, I ain't got a taste for blood.
I don't think I'm any more hairy than I was. I say something.
You're right, well, if any of these books are read, all
right? Is there anything we can do it. Just fucking has like an
hour old. Is there anything we can do? You're gonna be all right,
brother, I mean I feel fine, Honestly, I feel surprisingly fine.
So I guess we got to figure out how and what with the mark.
Right. Well, I've got a couple of things that I need to
doing first. Well, I need you a lot do for me. Yeah,
well Jack, yeah, you might be good at this. You need
to head down to that class. Remember that club what we went to before.
It's called the Act or something. Yeah, go down to that,
and you need to look around. There's an infield number two. Do you
know what that is? That's a gun ship. Yeah, it's like a
it's a revolver. It'll be empty, no bullets. I put them all
in the fucking werewolf. A little thing wiping the handle, got a little
bit of sharpier. I'll put a t on it, and so you know
it's mine. I don't need to look for a fucking gun. Yeah,
we do that thing ain't registered prints all over it. I'm fucked. They're
gonna lock me up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, your troubles are worse
than being locked sucking up. Well, we don't know. I mean again,
I feel pretty much. All right, all I've got is a new
tattoo, feel fucking evil? Right, well, we can't do anything about
it if he's locked up, so one out of time, right, yeah,
yeah, I'll take care of it. Actually a vampire. I mean
it weren't a vampire though it was. Jack, you say, Diana,
you go, that's a point. I found the USB, and I'm going
to need you to try to recover the data from it. Puck, all
right, all right, I can do it. I need some things.
Does anyone ever sharpe. I'm looking through my dmass bag where I just grabbed
a bunch of shit. May I roll for it, Josh, to see
if in my I didn't think you need to roll? Okay, uh,
you find it? And in my panic I pull out, Oh, I
pull out a panda shaped marker that I still happen to have left over from
my ou WU days. Okay, yes here all right, somebody grabbed me
sheets from over there on it? Okay here all right? Right? Is
there any water? Oh, Diana? Go? Yes? All right,
right, I stopped marking out a bunch of symbols in a circle, twelve
symbols. What brav it starts at two o'clock. What, okay, give
me your laptop. Fucking remember it starts at two o'clock. Well, I
ain't not bothered about it. Football, Yeah, we'll do without tomorrow.
What it starts at two o'clock? What does Bristol away? Just fucking remember
that it starts at two o'clock. All right, it's two o'clock. What
time like which? Two in the morning? Two? It doesn't matter,
two o'clock, all right, it starts at two o'clock. I put twelve
symbols in a circle on this sheet in a sharpie, and I grab his
jug of water and I smash it fucking hell onto the blankets. So some
of the ink starts to run. I'm I'm trying to protect him with some
pagan ritual I've seen which will protect your heart from the dark. Can I
see how successful that's going to be? Or would you like to know how
successful that's going to be? I would love to know. You can roll
a resolve and a cult cult resolve six six successes described to me how this
ritual proceeds. Right, the second it's probably imperceptible, But the second the
glass smashes, it soaks the sheet, and as the ink starts to spread
out because it's in a circle with twelve symbols. Most of the ink starts
to run over to the right hand side where the number two would be,
until it looks kind of like it's like a queue with a line going straight
through where two o'clock would be on a normal clock. And then I'm going
to pick it up and shake the glass off it and then put it over
him. What time does it start for you? Two o'clock starts at two
o'clock. Why am I dressed like a ghost, because I think you look
fucking adorable? Your preicture shut up starts at two o'clock. And then I
will start kind of not really chanting, but I'm reciting something under my breath.
Will it help if we him? It can't hurt? Okay, I
will step up and I look over your shoulder. Allie, what am I
reading right here? You are reading Burn the Heretic, Kill the Mutant?
Clean? Can you put that in writing for me? Ye? Sin again?
Okay, I have your laptop from your bag, and I'm trouble shooting
this drive. Probably sat on the floor doing it. Okay, Okay,
Burn the Heretic, Kill the Mutant perge the unclean. Just call me a
mutant. Burn the heretic kill the mutant, kill the mutine. Burn the
heretic kill the mutant perch the unclean. See you, You'll probably start to
feel quite hot. The fuck are you doing? Can I take your thing
off here? I'm boiling? Then the heretic kill the mutant purchase or in
the heretic kill the mutant percha the unclean. What time is it? He
o? When does it start? Two o'clock? Run the heretic kill the
mutant perchase the unclean. I think that's it. I think I did it.
Did you feel oh fucking know, how do you feel feel? I'm
fine and I just told you that hundred times. I'm all right. The
book I was reading the words for looks kind of scorched. Dude, are
you reading from you? You did not you? We did. We just
far from that book. I don't think you know what book. I just
oh, I don't. I don't, but Phebe does It's cool? Yeah,
sure you do. Tell us about the book. This book was printed
in fourteen twenty two. This is the hymn book of Joan of Arc Spattered.
It's singed and on the inside of the cover, there is a dedication
Lombra suwatuna chera departire. While there is life, there is hope. Right,
you two done playing silly buggers, because I still got the fucking mark
on my end. I don't feel any better. So maybe we we leave
a m I lad to leave or what I go with Jack? Not according
to this, but I mean I want to go down to the alleyway.
Anyway, I'll put six fucking silver Bulletsana's on it. Diana's on it,
okay, all right, well extra or something. Tell her to bring the
pipe in the back of the van. All right, well someone texted a
silver pipe. Bring the silver pipe back. I want it under this bed,
only her phone and tell her to check the alleyway and all. There
might be some blood on the ground. She should she should get that,
you know, like scoop it up. It didn't look like it was bleeding
though, so it might have to be a cutlet drop. She has to
proper look for it, you know, like get on the ground and look
for it. I feel you need to calm down. Can you even picture
that? Yeah? It was Mama demon really lopen the window totally extract to
fit one that always works in hospitals. Oh, please tell me this is
an extracted fan, not the emergency cord. Jesus. I text Diana to
let her know about the pipe or whatever, and then to hurry back.
We might be doing a jail brick. Well, that was happening. I
was mumbling the words with them distractedly whilst trying to show troublesheet that drive on
Quay's laptop. This is totally not important at all, and I'm sorry to
break the tension, but Cala would do it. I order a cheeseburger without
cheese, delivered by you know whatever food delivery services to the front of a
hospital. Raham. It's his favorite. Yeah, yeah, I think I'm
all right. It's what I don't think I was it by a car.
I think I was by a big fucking wolf, you know. I mean
it sent me off over tit. I went skidding out, pasted out and
that. But there was a woman, and all a woman. What did
she look like? What did she look like? Uh? You, I
imagine you managed to catch most of what she looked like. She looked early
twenties, bronze complexion and straight bleached hair, and probably around like five five
if Ollie is paying attention to that description, he has seen photos of the
woman Eloise. He looked in Saint Basil's Hugh's letter. She was talking to
the fucking dog. That's the thing. I mean, now that I think
about it, I shot the fucking dog and she was going mental telling me
not to and that, and then she was like not again, not again
and all that. So you need to find this woman. That's what I
Beach just told me about. What Now when you say Beatrice told you about
her, what do you mean there? I mean, what was it?
Who's Beatrice? This is our friend? Yeah? Uh? Well is she
no fucking know what? Ago was the name? What was the warning from
your friend? Yeah? She just she just told me the name, right,
Well okay, well let's look her up. What's what? Let's look
her up? Jack. How's it coming with the USB? Yeah? Yeah,
trying, oh ship, and then I just pick up the phone again
and I I try to find I look this bitch up. That is a
wits technology role. Oh the Saint Technology. Oh I thought you meant for
the laptop or the drive. Sorry, oh you can do that as well.
True. The literally while they're clearly busy with this thing. I am
already like, yeah, you found any vamps or anything like that, and
any laches on your travels since I last seen you both have I uh you,
Calor have not? Obviously I do not respond. I am yeah,
same, I'm looking shut up, head down in this and I can't respond
to that. RT. Oh, do I find anything on her? You
can get me some blood, you know, probably probably helped me feel better
at night. Oh yeah, you're looking for her repairing, I prolonging any
sort of like permanent effects. You know, if we can find a vampire
leach the leach you know, two successes, Calor you find nothing? Ooh
interesting, okay, Jack for successes. It is clear that this USB is
in a dire state, and if you are going to retrieve anything from it,
and I mean anything at all, it's going to take a very long
time. Okay, disc drill and I'm I've downloaded that on the hospital Wi
fi and I'm like, right, well, if I can, this thing's
fucked. But I can try to get the files onto this compute. And
I'm just sort of talking over the process a little bit. Okay, it's
going to take It's gonna take a little time. It's going to take a
while, that's what that means. So we need to if we're going to
get you out of here, we need to get you out of here.
If we're not, we need to get out of here so she doesn't get
caught doing her ship on Wi Fi. There's a cheeseburger, no cheese.
Is he going to be all right at the hospital though, I mean not
really according to this, right josh Or, he's probably not going to be
discharged today, that's for sure, Okay, but is it a situation like
yeah, but I just want to know he's not going to die. Like
if I grab some IVY bags and ship, I can yeah, okay,
can I all right? Can I I reach out and me have a look
at that? What the burger? Oh? And then I immediately hand him
on medical chees cheese, anything weird that might be a bit medical because I
have some medical training that hmm okay, pardon me, intelligence medicine, Josh.
I am stealing a bunch of ship like ivy bags and stuff anything,
and I'm stuffing into my background like anything he doing it? Yeah, but
that's so hard. It's not a hotel trying to say, trying to save
him. Can any of those I want to make sure you can spend a
willpower. I wouldn't recommend it. No, uh well no, he's my
brother. He's my brother. I'm going to rewrot. Okay, sorry,
spend a whelpaer go for it. Reroll through three these No wait de ten
detail? Yeah yeah, de ten, that's too success so four. Obviously,
it is weird that he is marked down as having severe injuries and he
does not seem to be suffering from any of them. Looking at that.
Should he be in a like a coma or something. If not a coma,
then extreme pain, extreme pain, full life support, pocasts and ship
it cut. He should you know, not be in the state he is
right now, Like, this is in complete contrast to what this document's telling
you, Like he should have limbs at odd angles and rove what you should
you shouldn't he should be dead Jesus Christ, sorry, it should be fucking
dead? What ro What do you mean? You should be fucking I know?
Right? Like, isn't that what that means? Multiple compound fracture or
break or whatever? Internal bleeding? Internal bleeding? Yeah right, yeah,
I've got internal bleeding. That's what it says. If you had internal breed.
Aren't going to sure you, brother, you would not be talking to
us, right. I lift up his shirt, All right, okay,
is it purple or anything to show in cheeseburger counts as buying me dinner first?
But no, nothing to show the internal bleeding? Only nothing? What
the fuck is it? Is it? And I point to the mark.
It's like I don't want to see it. Funk off. Now, I'm
just double odd. I've told you before. Remember when I fell off that
crane. They said I should have broken my leg and I didn't. You
know, bones An, you've got an early water on you drinking? Yeah?
I do. Actually in my bag, I do need a slash,
to be honest. It's just a little bit. And I will put the
tiniest bit on my fingers and then I put my fingers on. Is that
fucking stings? Ow? Fuck? What the fuck is that? Fuck?
It's holy water? Fuck? Fuck? Wait? And is my tay float?
Fuck? Fuck? And I look at his teeth anything? Nothing you've
got he's one of them on fire. H No, you look you look
freakishly normal wolf. Honestly, his probably still look a little bit like he's
still under the effect of whatever he smoked last But like, that's not unusual.
He looks like himself. Yeah, you look freakishly normal. All right,
So what we're panic him for? Fucking you just got burned by early
water. Okay, well, Ollie will figure it out in a minute.
What look, Diana's here. If we're getting him out of here, we're
getting out of him out of here, now. Don't don't what I mean.
This is a good thing. Really, you know, I'm not aware
of wolf, not a vampire. Yeah, maybe I've got a new allergy,
but all right, I'll take a fucking curse, you know what I
mean. I've been cursed with a few things in my life, maybe not
anything like this, all right, yeah, but I mean I feel all
right, you know, for perfect next little tweet that starts on me in
the street, a fucking chin him in mine? Right, exactly? What's
the plan? All right? I'm up and I am going to try to
lift him. But I don't think he needs my help, does he?
He doesn't need your help. I don't need your help. Okay, all
right, all right, okay, well listen about this about the world,
world, world, world, before you all start dragging me out of bed.
How about you all fucking turn around and leave alright, because I ain't
got any pants on. I'll meet you outside. Yeah, I'm not sure
I can dress myself all right? Yeah, and I will actually like throw
you your bag of close because when I went and got a bunch of shit,
I just imagine I've done that. And then I will turn around or
whatever, go outside the door and just look around and see if there's anybody
around you as well. Brav, fucking wash your winkle in the sink.
It's gonna be okay. That's it gonna be okay. He's fucking cursed.
He's literally go fucking evil inside him. We're going to figure it out.
Ship. I have a question, anybody, if anybody can figure it out?
Ollie, you can, yeah, and you will. Yeah. How
long does it take him to put on a shirt and pants? Master?
I have a question? Oh please? Is is my mom still there?
Ye? Han't gone anywhere. She hasn't moved. Oh fuck it now?
All right, While I'm getting dressed, I shake my head a bit,
I look around, and I reach out and try and touch her. See
if it's real. There's something cold in that space where your hand moves and
you don't feel like you touch anything, but you cannot deny that there is
something there. And that's when the silhouette moves its hand very gently rests on
the back of yours. I like pull my hand away. Yeah, he
blames dad, but me, I blame you. So I suppose we should
take this time and get to know one another. How about that? Mum
and I shrug off whatever this thing is and literally get dressed and then step
outside. All right, I don't let's get the fuck out of here.
Yeah. The funny thing about magic. This is a world of darkness,
and there are very few things of power available to mortals, but the one
thing that can protect them is love. And that is the only thing I
can say about what Olie has done here. And it's a very good place
for to end today. Well well, well, well, uh are you
all excellent? That was amazing? Dude, Oh my god, dude.
Yeah, I wanted to say, because we didn't get to do this last
time. Obviously, winner of last week's scene competitions, where we're you know,
pouring love out on everyone's row plays is veal and vain. I'm very
sorry everyone here. So we all agree, we all? Yeah, I
message him every day, just calling him a bastard. I literally have said
to him multiple times, I will just produce next year and you can,
like you be in it. You take my spot. Dude, you're so
fucking good. But for this episode, feel good. I'm so sorry.
I that's tough. There's no way Tuesday with handling that fucking bomb drop,
it was very good. Was so real? Did you know anything of that
coming? Or was that because I was surprised it was it looked like real,
dude. I was like, she's I was like, she's reacting during
character designed. You know, when whenever you give the the GM details,
you worry a little bit about what he might use them, you know,
Papa or But I did not have any idea that that was going to happen.
I thought I was going to roll in there, destroy this monster and
kind of bury a little bit of my past and then Josh beat me about
the face and neck o. My live food on Twitch performance was credible thing.
You just the yeah second incredible. Sorry Mergle's bedside scene was that was
dude, I'm like, oh, do not fuck with her. It was
it was so much like uh restraint, that was really what it was like
in my mind, I was like screaming. I wanted to like say and
scream all of these things, but I was like, oh, like that
keeping the restraint, Yeah, that's good. I was like, it's not
very posh British to start screaming at your father in hospital. So I guess
stiff you were to see that Diana still had that in her as well,
right, Like I don't know, it was like a pastor about to boil
overn ever quite dude, Yeah, yeah, no, I was. I
was genuinely shaken by and every now and again I reminded myself, No,
you're a fucking dickhead father figure, get on with it. I also really
do remembering to keep remembering it. I'm a bustard. Yeah, like I've
done. That's three characters for me. Now. THEO is not necessarily a
bastard. He's kind of just ill educated, I feel like, but it's
still like you have to keep reminding yourself, you know. Lie was that
for me so much had to be Like I also like how Diana when she
was in the hospital and realized that like everyone was still working together. Maybe
I don't know what she thinks, but she kind of showed up at the
old place and we're all still there and we're rushing to the hospital. So
it's like, I really appreciated the nuance that you added to that reaction of
just kind of like shock and then silence as you're taking it all in.
And yeah, it was Yeah, I didn't know what to do in that
soon because I've seen Jack, she's been like chepping in the place. And
then like you were there and introduced yourself and it's actually you, and then
Diana's there. My brother just got fucking like it was so much. Yeah,
that's funny because I didn't really I almost reacted to calib but then I
was like, oh wait, no, I've seen her. Yes, you
have you and Jack has I've been giving you drugs sometimes. Hey, now
that was a secret. You're an all star. You were AFK when I
told that secret to Oh it did come out. I said it and then
glanced over at our call and was like, oh, Peb doesn't know.
I just blew that thing. That's okay, it's called but you know,
I go next, I'm going next, I'll go next. Oh we're going
to pick this hand he be talking to talking to Crowley was oh my god,
dude. Like I saw people in the chat as well, commenting like
the restraint and like how phenomenal phenomenal it was, and just the wall.
But Tuesday was saying, like the wall that was there was just so incredible,
and I found it sad. The whole thing was we have this Cala.
She's already clearly broken the act. She's got the voice, she hasn't
got any color. She's just really thank you. The part that caught me
was as well, she has that's like one there was like one spark moment
where she was like, oh, this is the guy, and the guy
was just yeah, and just like when when he walked away and then she
sort of collapsed into like into crying. I was like, oh my god,
physical pain in my soul. It's like for me in real life.
So I just drew on that, like I can for some reason, when
there's either for some reason ha ha, when there's like an argument or somebody's
yelling at me or whatever, I can just I cannot cry, which I
know sounds insane because I am nothing but an emotional wreck most of the time.
But I can just sit there and be like uh huh okay, and
then it's but as soon as it's over and I feel like safe, boom,
I can't hold it in anymore, and I'm just like weird role play
thing. Yeah, yeah, it's just supercre I'm just out of there,
and but I do kind of have to draw on something. Whether it's uh,
yeah, I don't know. So I just was like, I guess
Cal's like that too, a little bit shielded anyway, Thank you can move
on. Yeah, nope. So I thought we were going to go to
some like comic relief when it became sudden these two bitches I basically see his
feet and Bass just start fucking talking about their family and their feelings and then
fucking Olie goes into like no because of the Yeah, I wanted to just
kind of shout out the same thing. Really, that's representation in this is
so good and like, I don't think theariest thing to do. It's really
scary when you play something. I've done that a couple of times as well,
where you're like, oh man, I don't fuck this up or misrepresent
something, and it is just I feel like you've done a really good job
with it, and I don't. Yeah, he's also wanted to do it
since season one. Right, you've talked about it since season one. Yeah,
he's talked about it since season one. I remember character creation, he
was like, I want to do this, but I don't want to,
you know, like I don't want to be disrespectful to anyone. And this
season he just was like, I'm doing it and it's important, and yeah,
it was fucking often. Yeah if you do that wrong and it's the
worst thing ever, but you yeah, you don't want to be an asshole.
But like everyone's experience is are different, and all you can really do
as a role player is do a bit of learning and listening and then try
your best. So like, yeah, yeah, that's I mean, that's
the kind of the point of role playing is being someone other than right who
you are. But it's really called to see and I think we've touched on
it in every episode in some way that has been really well done or well
presented. Like even when we came to the set of Stairs and in the
chat we were like, fuck, what do we do? Is he with
us? And then yeah, yeah, last time this was just in our
group. Sometimes we're like you, we'll say oh where are you? Or
you know, you get a text just to help us inform the whole play,
and Pech was like, no, I don't go down the stairs.
I can't go down them. And everyone was like, I don't worry,
it'll be fine, and then Pech was like, no, it's realistic.
That was it. I was just like, yeah, you know what,
it makes sense and it's just an awkward thing to think of or a way
to approach it, but it was like one of those situations where that was
just the way it would have worked out, and so that was what we
went with. And noone has limitations, like everyone yeah, yeah. And
then there's there's also the GM part where I was like because because Peach was
like can I be in the scene and I was like yeah, sure.
So you just found another way down another way, And I mean, I've
spent three seasons describing windy secret passages under a cathed for all, and it's
fine, a fucking weird vampire cathedral with all sorts of secret shit going on,
So there's probably another way down one way. Yeah, it's it's it
was it's hard to role play against as kind of like I don't know,
I don't really want to call THEO dumb, but he is kind of he's
uneducated and he's masked up as well, and he's always acting tough, like
honestly, and I'll just fucking peak you behind the curt if Josh had called
for any sort of role, to see if any of you were really looking
at him underneath everything. THEO is fucking petrified in that hospital the whole time,
but he's like acting double ard and shit. And then when his brother
is like talking about himself and he's saying, I'm not broken. But but
THEO is coming in it from a place of wanting to fix him and make
sure that he can be able able body, but able bodied as much as
he can. But you know, he also respects that Oli doesn't see himself
as broken. But also I think THEO and I mentioned it briefly, I
think THEO thinks that Oli is kind of punishing himself, even because I'm pretty
sure vampire blood won't actually help him in any way. But I think with
THEO one hundred percent thinks that just a massive dose of it would cure anything,
because he's experienced it, and he's also just obsessed with it because he's
an addict, so he he is like, well, what do you why
wouldn't you take this like you must be punishing yourself because of you blame yourself
and stuff. So that's the other angle. So it's really hard to be
like THEO in that situation because he's like, I'm not gonna really he doesn't.
He didn't even I think, get as emotional or allow himself to become
as emotional as all he did in that scene. He kind of just went
all right, yeah, anyway, I'm out, because I think that's how
THEO does stuff that it is. It's fucking cool to see from Brad's perspective,
like how interesting it was for I was gonna applaud it. It was
really easy to bounce off that in that scene because we had nothing for that
scene. I'm like, yeah, we didn't know what the I just it
was just like you two, it'll be fine. Everyone else kind of had
like a specific thing that they were after, and like while THEO, I
was like, yeah, I know really what he's after. It's drugs a
kah blood and I can I can role play that pretty good. But I
don't know what else they would want or what they'd be doing because they've been
working on things but not making progress, which was pretty much. The only
thing we went into that scene with was that that you had to go and
get me something, and yeah we knew that I had. I was cornetto.
But yeah, it was a cool, cool episode. Everyone, well
done. Let's do normal and remember we have a post credits Marvel Cinematic Universe
tie in scene sponsored by Marvel's She Hulk. Tune into Disney Plus and watched
She Hulk Every wrong with you? Bran. I love that. Yeah,
which is that Marvel always do those fucking stupid credits end credits and force you
to sit in the fucking cinema for twenty minutes for nothing to happen at the
end, And now we do it to people through Yeah, but it's nothing,
it's not nothing that happens. It's good enough for me. Let's do
shout out, just go in the order that people got the things. Who
was it first? It was Diana first. Diana got the first compliment.
Oh, I thought you meant scenes. That's where I was going. Oh,
we could do it scenes as well. I've gone in Diana. Okay,
Hi, I am Mrgles and I played Diana for you today. If
you want to check out my stream, I stream Twitch dot TV, slash
myrgles and I do right now. I'm doing a lot of office hours and
chats and stuff. That's about it. Thank you so much. This is
in a new Marvel movie called where Wolf by Night. Oh my god.
That told me. Brad was like, hey, watch this. Diana is
in it. And I was like, okay, and I turn it on
and I'm like thinking, like, oh, what kind of character? Probably
similar enough kind of loll and then literally Diana. I'm not joking. It's
literally the backstory, the outfit, the accent, everything, And I was
like, what show is this? If you haven't seen it, it's called
were Wolf by Night. It's completely fucking random. It's like not like all
the other Marvel movies that have come out. It's like an hour long.
It's like less than that. It's like a weird horror, the weeen thing
they did. It's black and white and old school inspired. It's really cool.
It's actually pretty fucking good, but like just outside whether you watch all
the marble bullshit or not. But but I chucked it on and I was
like, hit play in my dinner and like literally five minutes and I was
like, that's Diana. Like this you want to sing like what I was
like, I'm not going to send I'm going to say muggles a text straight
away because I'll get thirty minutes into it and it would just be like not
at all or anything like that. I watched the whole thing and I was
like, oh wow, I have to make a watch them was just play
on this thing called Werewolf by Night. Trust me Diana's and its mentor,
and it's weirdly, weirdly similar. It's worth watching just you like Leach because
it feels like a Diana that's my coming soon, I guess. Really funny
because like also the Vampire, the Masquerade, stuff like the Chronicles and things
like they stream are called something by night like New York by Night. Yeah,
that's so funny, so haunted and weird, and watch it and then
make this character it came out after the start. Yeah, yeah, it's
weird that it was a were wolf. Even though I'm not sure if this
is even aware. Brad isn't sure. I don't even reveal anything in your
face, Josh, I don't know if you've even told us. Never will
he never does, I know, But like I have these two theories that
are going on in my head in one but one of them. I mean,
there's like the weird Gangrel vampires. That Gangrel is a clan of vampires
that can turn and ship. They were like we I was like, I
could. I guess it could be them or whatever, but yeah, I'm
so fascinated to hear what you think. This is, Like, what's going
on? So I'm convinced that you're going to be fucking You're you're introducing werewolf
so that we can play werewolves next year. And it's, by the way,
we haven't planned anything for a potential season four or anything like that.
This is just what we do every year every year. Accidentally, this is
what we do. We're like, wouldn't it be cool if we play like
anarchs? And then suddenly they released a Hunter book just in time for the
next So I don't know, but that's kind of where my theories at derailed
everything. M hm. Hi, I'm Tuesday Gray and you can find me
a Tuesday Gray and all the socials except that I don't really stream anymore.
With these guys, still let me play because they're some of my very best
friends and I love them very much. Thanks for watching. You don't stream
anymore, you're off? Are you talking about get out of here ship?
She still got a pot and a bunch. Oh oh yeah, you're good,
You're good. Yeah, okay, it was the next thing. Maybe.
Oh Hi, I'm Pumpkin Berry. I played Calip for you today and
also the did live production. You can find me here on Tuesdays where I
GM Kingmakers and uh yeah, and Wednesdays where I'm on spell Wind and sometimes
I do stuff on my own che okay, yes, what across pollination?
Drack is on king Makers, right, Yeah, Drack was on my vampire
podcast. You were both. Look, you were both. I saw the
roll twenty last night. You were both on the French resistance campaign that Trooper
did. Right, that was me. Oh, I saw your profile and
I double checked it. Have you done like a one shot his City of
Light and Shadow? I did a one shot like guest character in that.
Yeah, okay, I was gonna play regularly. But the epilogue farewell finale
after five seasons yesterday, so that was an epic one. Yeah. Yeah,
playing a werewolf next year as a cameo. Oh my god. Anyway,
I don't think I can I don't think I can handle another disc Ord
with Drack and Mergles in it. By the way, Discord p I'm trying
to change my ways. I'm on Thursdays of four pm UK I do paranormal
investigations kind of, and then I stream other games too. And I played
a cool game about a priest that's exercising like people. But he might be
not doing that. He might be just murdering people. I'm not entirely sure,
and I'm going to finish that tomorrow. Sounds perfect. He's like a
workout instructor. You can I do one thing in the game and you can
just present your crucifix. That's what I did all stream, was just present
a crucifix. Power of Price one right, mhm? Is it picks a
lot because a game? Yeah, it's so cool. It's like Rotoscope.
It's so cool. I believe you. I love all the games that Peachy
plays on his channel at twitch dot tv forward slash Maya. I also spend
an entire stream holding up a crucifix at the moment because I'm playing Silent Hell
four through, although I think I'm going to finish it tomorrow, so probably
that means there will be a game vote on my channel. If you want
to watch. If you want to see a game from the beginning, you
can vote for it. That's how I picked games of my channel Big Game
Vote on Monday. And other than that, I'm also in King Maker's got
my ponytail back for this. I did it, and then I was really
glad that I did. I did this just because the back of my neck
is fucking doing my braining and it's so stupid because my hair is getting longer
and it's fucking with the back of my neck. And I was like,
oh, I'll just put it up into a thing and then put on Theo's
hat. And then I got hospitalized and was like, oh shit, I'm
going to take the hat off and the coat because it's just ridiculous. He'd
be laying in bed like he's sitting on a corner. And then I was
like, oh no, I still have the ponytail. But that works because
THEO. No way, THEO has a mullet, you know, like I
kind of like pull my haircrafts to be like kind of like one of those
little roote boys does have a fringe, but really, you know, so
I was like it worked out well that I tied my hair up for this
um, and then's that. Normally I don't have my if you want to
see a mullet turning into my stream and that's me. What about you,
Josh? Oh yeah, Strange adventures on YouTube if you want to learn about
vampires, and I got videos planned for it, it probably won't be anytime
soon, as you bitch, didn't you just hit a milestone? Yes,
yeah, yeah there was. It was a really cool Q and A that
streamed on on that channel if you want to go learn about talked about Leach
a little bit, talked about other role play shows and all of the vampire
goodness in in that if you want to go look at that. I also
played through the Leech game that you can find on itch dot io. I
played through that for the first time in like a year last night, and
I realized it has a bunch of fucking bugs in it. So I'm going
to fix those. You made the game in like under a month, right,
Yeah, yeah, it was. It was a thing. Yeah,
So I'm going to fix a bunch of bugs and dialogue problems. Yeah,
oh dude, tell me. Every week when I'm editing the post credit things,
I'm like, oh man, the spelling mistakes and they scare me so
much. Spell Checker in that app dude in opera effects Well, everyone wants
us to shut up now so that they can watch the credits. Watch them
as soon as my h Yes, yes, sir, I see you thinking
about the death and the dog h oys, sire. I I was wondering
what you thought when you look there, You saw what was trailed that you
could afford this. I was considering a proposed what do you what do you
mean proposal? Indulge me first? Okay, what is it you see in
the darkness? See see power and rage and death? M hm. And
it's not what you felt when you killed me? Oh, very powerful,
sire. Yes, I can almost say I'm proud. Thank you, sire.
I'm sure by now you feel that you cannot escape I cannot. Yes,
I understand why you did a look, we did, but it was
slightly premature for my own means. What what would you have me do?
I can still be of use. Do you remember the name you found when
you looked in the dark? I do, sire. It was Willis.
Yes, whatever blood you saw, you were tempted and refused it and instead
decided to join your friends near arts. Very important to me, sire,
they are still important to me, so be it. You have made your
point. I feel it is only appropriate for me to reveal I discussed the
matters of death and the beyond with few days for everyone's benefit. Mm hmm,
what do you mean benefit? Not that it matters, but when you
looked into the dark part saw through your eyes, and then realized when we
were caught in fee days, was one of the few, perhaps the only,
capable of defeating what you saw in there. What does that mean for
me, sire? Do do I need to seek few days? It is
far too great for that. Of course, I saw you well, with
incredible feats at the neck. Let see, oh hi, I could perhaps
reach beyond. Perhaps you would not be able to do it that I help.
Your raw power is insufficient without my experience. I understand that now,
Sire, what would you have me do? I would require use your body,
use, sire, relinquish yourself unto me, and we can become greater
than either single part alone you cannot kill in their grammence. I don't know,
sire that I mean you're already a part of me. I don't I
don't want to relinquish control you did that. You started that process the moment
you agreed on the darkness that you would contain my soul. I didn't know
what I was doing. I clear there is another option, my dear,
Yes, sir, complete my research, find another receptacle. Yes, sir,
I can do that. The research is going very well. I can
do that, sir. Find me youth and beauty and buy will be rid
of you. I will do it, sire, please, said your lab
technician defined hunter a hunter. There is a tone that they need paris the
future. I don't understand, but I can do as you ask, ood
girl. You will. You were united in the flesh and we can continue
our work. Yes, sire, just as you ask you, exactly as
you bid and bring you back to full pound. I don't think so.
