What you were about to experience will contain violence, disturbing imagery, adult themes,
and may leave you hungry for power and blood. Proceed at your own
risk. In the past two years, Manchester has changed forever. Its mad
prince twisted his underlings, unleashing chaos and then revolution. But this is a
world of darkness. Only the unlucky few mortals caught in the cross fire you
any of this before they lost their lives. The only certain thing in these
nights is death and the hunt. You all again inside the AEC Club,
a sea of bodies and drinks and people blowing off their esteem from the week.
It's a Saturday night. You are not here at a party, Diana
Craft, Yes, would you place yourself at the head of this operation?
Would you go in first? I actually think I would have THEO going first.
You get a solid message to move in ahead THEO, and you see
your two targets, a young woman beyond hair and a young man red hair,
both of whom you've tracked here after they disappeared, one of whom is
who you're looking to catch, one at the bar, and the other is
inside the sea of people. You can just about see her having a good
time, raising her arms up. She's a little bit obscure which one is
the primary target? You don't know yet. All right, I'll put out
my phone. It's a crappy old raisor thing, and I send a text
to my brother. What says I can see two of them both in here.
One's on the dance floor, one's up at the bar. I'm going
to move in on the dance floor, be us friend two? Well,
should we go in? That's all right? Keep it clean? Did he
say where? Dance floor? All right? Ready, if you are,
I start walking in. As you go inside, you see the sea of
happy people mostly and yes, you see the back of theo's head, just
slowly pushing his wayside, sidling through the sea of people, getting closer to
who you recognize as a possible target. Watch it. She begins to pay
attention to you, THEO. You get really really close, and everyone sees,
I guess from the edge of the room. If that's where you want
to place yourselves. She starts dancing with you. What a darling, Hi
are you I'm just going to stand there? Hi? Come on, saying
are you just gonna stand there? She gets really close to you. I'm
going to stand there. I nudge Jack stand there. Maybe he doesn't the
rest. What's your name, then, beautiful? I send him a text?
Start fucking dancing nowhere near looking at my phone, I forgot that I've
even got one. I just give him a minie. My name's Carla Kelly.
Yeah, yeah, I know CALLI. Oh yeah, yeah, you
look well different though. She looks like an upper lumpa. She's just trapping
miney good. Yeah, she looks like a fucking easter bunny. You know,
she was like the easter bunny got lost in it Willie Wanter's fucking house
or whatever it was. So I don't have to worry about a girlfriend.
Then you ain't from around there? Are you? No? Now? Where
are you from? I'm from down south? I'm here for Uni? Is
it okay? How old are you then? Twenty one? Yeah? You
sure? You tell? Oh? That face was not a good face.
Don't point your camera right at her. She doesn't know where far away it's
free? What is that mean? You were born then? Two thousand and
okay? Yeah, that's what I thought. She's like, really bad at
this. Yeah, most people don't even notice cameras nowadays. Anyway, who
you were with then by myself turned out to get away from things. Who
are you here with things? Oh? I've got a couple of mics knocking
about somewhere. You're gonna talking about her? Hang out with them? Or
would you rather hang out with me? Oh? I suppose we can hang
out? Yeah? All right, I'll get you a drink? Yeah?
Please? You smoke? Yeah? Yeah, I got a little bag and
all. Maybe we'll pop out for a little a little smoke, you know,
smooth, smooth, sounds like fun. All right, Yeah, where's
the smoking area? Then you lead on? Follow me, daddy. As
soon as she turns around, I like look back to try and find where
the others are. Yeah, she grabs your hand, and I mean,
have the others moved? No, I'm standing by the wall. But I
clap a little bit and I give them let thems up. I wave.
They probably all think I'm waving all of them. I'm only talking to my
brother and I point at the bar for where the other one is. I
give him a thumbs up, and then I get dragged out by this other
one. Is the other one you're getting dragged? Is he getting dragged towards
the like? Where is she taking away. Yeah, are we supposed to
follow him? Make sure? Well there was another another potential target m hm,
which he pointed out, and there is a ginger guide who meets the
description who you are looking for. Yeah, but there's five of us and
one one person for one potential subject is maybe not the safest. Just do
we have information on who this other potential uh target would be interested in?
What do you mean interested in? Who would be most effective to speak with
the other t target? They? I mean you probably have in your research
together. They're probably heterosexual, both of them, not that they're related in
any sense, but all right, I'm keeping an eye on THEO and if
they get to where I can't see them, I'm gonna grab Teller's elbow and
be like, yeah, let's a better fallow. I feel that it's already
happened, like I've been dragged out. She's taking you like at the back,
like, yeah, he's gone while you had this conversation, but you
know which direction he went. I would like to step forward to the other
target. Okay, yeah, this guy appears to be you step in his
way as he's leaving the bar ah, and he seems a little surprised.
Oh, I'm sorry, I need to get Oh sorry, where are you
going? I go to meet a friend? A friend? Are you not
having fun here? Then it's not really my scene. I was invited here.
Oh what is your scene? Are you? I prefer books and a
quiet place to read them. What kind of books? Well, I'm reading
some really fascinating science fiction at the moment, and it mixes like some of
my other favorite fantasy a neg He starts talking, and I would like you
to make a intelligence plus resolve role three successes? Okay? Is passion is
almost intoxicating? How intoxicating? More intoxicating than you expected? Am I able
to tell the difference between normal intoxicating and interesting intoxicating? Yes? In this
instance only just you could very easily blink for too long and hours would have
gone by. M hm, where are you going? Late? Too later?
I, like I said, I have to meet up with a friend.
Well, before you do, can I have your phone? What would
you like to do with it? And he takes it out? I take
it and I put my number in Call me sometime. I've got really good
books. Oh well, I've thought you come and see my books? Yeah?
Sure, do you mind if I just go to the bathroom. First,
meet you up front. I need you to make a manipulation subterfuge roll
two successes. He says, Oh, what sure, I'll just be a
arment. Okay, meet you by the door. Sounds good. Where do
you go? I'm going to walk in the direction of the bathrooms, and
then I'm going to send out a text to all of them, uh to
keep an eye on the ginger I believe that he is our target, and
also a follow up to THEO to check how he is doing. Yes,
it depends on how far gone THEO is, I think. But you notice
something. He has not gone to where the door is. In fact,
he is an appropriate an unsuspicious distance behind you, waiting for you to go
in to the bathroom. You can assume I we'll go into the bathroom,
and I will send out the same information to Jack and Carla. Do you
let us know like I'm in the bathroom? Yes, I do, okay,
and that he's behind you? Mm hmm. Do I see him follow
her to the bathroom? Oh? Absolutely, I'm gonna move over in that
direction surreptitiously. Look Okay, to Jack, do you want to take the
lead on this? Looks like he's going to strike. We need to go
outside. The o's alone with her. Yep, she's not the target.
But she's a isn't she? What the odds that both of them are?
I don't know. Maybe I don't trust it. Okay, THEO could be
in trouble or he could not be in trouble. Let's just right now we
see one maybe about to strike. Right now, you see do you want
to go? Do you want to go help the O? And then I
yeh, I'll go, I'll go hold tell you all right? All right,
okay, be careful, please, this cannot be the last selfie we
take. Got it? You got it? Okay? And then I will
go first, I'm heading towards the bathroom. Yeah, the washroom. You
come in quite quickly behind him. Sorry, excuse me. It's okay,
but please get out. You need to make an intelligence Oh no, do
you I think you had a thing. I think you had a thing.
Yes, you can do. I should have written this down, but let's
just say you can do an intelligence resolve test. But it will be significantly
easier than for murgles. Say that one more time. Please intelligence plus resolve
three successes. This is something that really happens to you. Someone tells you
what to do and you realize that you do not want to do this.
There is a malice in his words. Oh, but I don't want to
go in. I'm sorry, that's what she's saying. You don't want to
leave. Oh, I don't want to He was asking you to leave,
but you're resisted. Last time I kept it said rushroom and I need to
go, So get out of the way. Mm hmm. Fuck. Uh
he's gonna try and grab you by the throat. Oh oh no, this
emotion. Oh, I'm not being quiet about it at all. Yeah,
I'm gonna knock open the door. Now. It's three v one. So
starting with KLA, what would you like to do? Uh? Oh,
that is a very good question. I wasn't able to bring in any weapons
right, easily concealable ones. Yes, well that doesn't include my best friend,
so certainly does not. Okay, Uh can I stab him with a
knife? Just a plain, old, plain Jane knife hidden in my underneath
my skirt? Absolutely roll X plus melee. Oh boy, I think I
stabbed daddy. Yes, you. In fact, he reaches for you and
the knife goes straight through his hand. And yeah, he actually can I
pund sorry, can I make a time correction because I don't think I would
stab it through his palm. I want to stab it through his wrist.
So as he's reaching for my throat, I go here because he's a fair
tire and absolutely yeah, and then I want to take a selfie stab him.
No, I'm just kidding. In the moment, you're pretty quick.
You can't pull out your phone and take a stuffie at the same time.
Not quite that quick yet one day, one day. But yeah, So
from your perspective, Diana, this man followed you in here, and then
your friend came in like he told her to leave, and then she's stabbed
him in Okay, but you're leaving. He grabbed me first, I mean
just tatting him out of nowhere. Oh yeah, you didn't stab him out
of nowhere. Uh yes. I will also pull out a knife and get
very close for coming out in great place to do this, Diana, I'm
imagining he still has me by the throat because all I did was stab him.
Yeah, he looks pained, but this is like now a mortal struggle
for this guy. I broke his fingernail. Mm hmm, is it possible
for me to reach around and slit his throat from behind. Absolutely, Yes,
he's not in a position to particular ularly resist, and you reaching around
and very easily practiced draw the knife across his throat, and this causes him
not to flop over dead, but to retreat from Cala and crouch on the
floor, trying to scrabble away from the both of you as he kind of
doaks. Both of you made a very bad mistake. Not yet, we
haven't, but we're about to. Can we kill him together? How would
you like to kill him together? Ah, that's a very good question.
Do I know how you like to slay vampires, Miss Diana? Whichever way
works primarily so perhaps, however, I'm quite physically strong, so perhaps I
could hold him down and you could stake him. Sure, do you have
a steak, because I don't have any with me that would fit under it.
Okay, I'll just I pass you a stake. Perfect I take it.
And I absolutely stabbed this man right in the chest. Yes, he
looks. He is paused, with a utter confusion on his on his face.
He is entirely immobile on the floor. Oh my god. For a
second there I thought he was going to die, die, and that we'd
not attacked an actual vampire. This is good. I mean that is what
happens when you stab people in the hut. Yeah, but I mean like
he looks immobilized, like frozen in vampire frozen like I've always read about or
song supernatural or is he dead dead? Like he's here dead? Oh,
he's like somewhere between fully floppy and rigamort and rigamortis okay? Can I take
him back to Okay? I pull his lip our office? Is there a
way to tell if he's a vampire? Does he have sharp Oh? You
pull his lips back and there are quite well concealed, but most certainly his
canines are sharpened. I pushed the door open with my chair and roll in.
Hi. Okay, Well, so just to be clear, we have
walked into the snake skin and killed a snake. Yes, that was Yes,
get him back to the van if possible. How are we going to
get him back to the van. We can't aren't take him through the club.
You have let this one go. We didn't get any information from him.
You could give us so much information or what'd you kill him? Or
what he's to attact me, first of all, and second of all we
can argue about that later. What if we put him in my mate outfit
and we bring him through the club as if he's a little gipsy, you'll
walk out what naked? Now I'll put his cul I mean if you lost
you Okay, As great as that sounds, I don't think we should do
that. Is there any windows in this room, Josh, in this room?
Now, I look any merits bullocks? There really was no other way.
Who's going to corner me in here regardless? Well that's why I came
in. Yes, thank you, approcure why I said that. If he's
not dead day and we leave it here, we've done that found. Yes,
he'll be found, and he'll will he remember our scent like a dog.
Your scent, you have no idea? Well, you'll remember your faces.
Well, that's easily changeable for the most part. Look at me,
I will say. There is a crowd outside, so it wouldn't be impossible
for you to carry him through. You give me your coat, Diana,
we'll just wrap up. I've got a terrible idea. I love it.
I already know what your idea is. And all right, and I wheel
myself home to the toilet and lift myself out of my chair I have on
the toilet. Yeah, I'm all right, okay, okay, so we're
gonna do it. I know you can. All right, don't be long,
Okay, we'll be back, all right. And I lift him up
and I put him in the chair, and I put Diana's coat over the
steak so it's not too obvious. Oh yeah, it's uh m, I
feel like I want to know it's it's not obvious, but like if you
stay here much longer, it will be. So, yes, got it.
You have a disguise, wonderful. I will snatch all these glasses as
well and put them on, just in case anybody remembers that you were wearing
glasses. You know, it's details, can't fucking see. I'll be right
back. I'll bring them back. I will stay here with Ollie, okay,
since it's a lady's washroom, hy bye e, I will and I
begin wheeling him out. You yeah, you wheel him through the crowd and
arrive at the van, which is easy enough to kind of hoist him in
there. Okay, I think you probably unless you're trying to be extremely covert
going to get some odd looks from people on the street. He just had
a little too much to drink, unless you're admiring me, in which case,
thank you. People don't know what to do with you. And then
keep walking. Okay, perfect success. Okay, Well then I will put
him into the van. And then now I'm stuck trying to think how I'm
going to get back into the club. I mean I could sit in the
chair. I can just wheel it through. Just be quick about it.
You don't think that's it depends on I think you'd be able to get it
back. But I'll be quick. Yeah, you just be really quick.
I am interested in Jack. Yes, you're a little worried about your friend
THEO. So you go out to the smoking area to approach the two of
them. It seemed to be having a good time. No, I checked
my phone. I lean against the wall. I don't smoke, and I
didn't think to make it appear, but I do. So just be checking
out my texts and occasionally glancing at them and listening in Sure, Uh,
THEO, you've been with this woman for a while and she hasn't tried to
kill you yet. Yeah? Well yeah, that oh is Yeah? Is
this the okay, and then just dip your little finger in it gets someone
out in your gums. You'll fucking waight right up, you will? Yeah,
okay, okay, I'm glad I met you. I'm watching her teeth.
Yeah, she pulls her lips back. I mean they're sparkling white,
but they're not point to you as the normal. All right, Yeah,
I'll tell you what. I've got some of these dodgy pills. So I
don't know what they are exactly. If you're eating to that sort of thing,
maybe there's only so much adventure I can do in one evening. I
mean, is that something up to you if you want to do it or
not. I put them back in They're literally just garlic pills, like I
put them back in my coat. So you're twenty one at UNI and you
decided to go club in by yourself? A uh? Is that that weird?
I mean it's a bit fucking weird, ain't it. You've got no
friends to come out with. What if someone you know weird picks you up
on the way. I'm I mean I've already done the picking up, haven't
I Right? Yeah, but I mean, like a fucking weirdo, you
know, like a proper right nutter. You protect me, you're and I'm
going to protect you. Depends on if we look like that sort of bloke.
Do I like a rough geezer I'm going to knock someone out or something
like that. Maybe you should be protecting me, you know what I mean?
She likes shadow boxes on your chest. How strong does it feel?
Does the accidentally feel like she's secretly really strong and holding back an extreme amount
of power? Well, if she was secretly holding it back, you wouldn't
be able to tell. But no, it's just a normal kind of love
tap kind of thing. So, yeah, you want a cigarette? Yeah,
like that. By the time you smoke that, I'm gonna I'll be
back for that. Okay. I go inside with absolutely no intention of returning.
I don't even know if I see Jack just wandering back. Yeah,
you walk past Jack. If Jack does anything, I will trail him.
After a moment, Okay, I had him. I'm heading back in the
club and looking for where everyone else is. You see Color just wheeling an
empty chair back into the ladies. I catch up with the where's your brother?
Fucking hell? Creeping up on me? Seriously, that chair is empty,
like he can't get around without that. Yeah, I don't know what
they're up to. It's time to worry. Why check check the bathrooms,
the mezzanine. I don't know. Actually, he don't even know. He
don't even he don't need a chair. He's fucking double ard. I had
a sigh and head toward Palla walk after her. What where's Ollie? Uh
s? Yes, okay, I told him to go before showed up.
You know what I mean? Right, I don't think that's what's got What
the when there aren't super human ears around? Right? Well, it ain't
the bird. So there's a gazer around here somewhere red there. We got
him. It's how you got him. You mean got him as in he's
in the van and that's what okay, all right, okay, and I
just walk off. H wait, so does that mean we're done? Yes,
I'll see you at the van. Well, yeah, and I handle
the keys. I don't drive what that bird out there? She ain't she
can't what well, she ain't one of them? Right? And if you're
done, you don't need me no more? Right? Uh? Maybe you
should ask Diana for fox sat where is she? Just meet us at the
van and I will head very quickly. Still, I imagine I was still
like walking and talking while doing this really quickly, and and then I come
back into the bathroom taxi service. Well done, well Ali, jeez,
he's awesome for the chart. M h wait wait wait wait wait wait,
could we maybe just take one photo really quickly? It's our first together?
Okay, what I mean? I have to do the thing. Here's a
clique and it's Diana doing that. Oh, the three of you. If
you looked back at this later, we'd see you all happy faces and the
slightest hint just behind Calor's head of a puddle of blood. All right,
let's go. That's your things. Zoli's all right, you're allie, and
yes, you're fine, are you okay? Give me a okay see,
okay, let's move quickly. I'm sorry I took your glasses. Okay,
all of you reconvene back at the van. Well done, everyone, it's
not a real Yes, perhaps you should get out of here. Yes,
let's return. So theo she she wasn't huh no, no, no,
do you need me anymore? Or what? What are you? So?
You're gonna stay? Yes? We still need you? Yeah, all right,
out as early as a monster in here. Jack, you keep it
down just a little bit before you're to get in the vent, and then
we can return to the office and I'll freak out as much as we want.
You aren't getting shotgun, I call it. You go in the fucking
shotgun. Spines fucked. He can't fucking sit in the fucking back everyone.
Surely there'd be space for him in there, I would assume. So it's
a Vox Combo two thousand and eight Voxhall Combo Diesel. There's two feet everyone
can jump in the back, right, but you you modified it right?
Yeah? Otherwise how do you get here? I modified it in as much
as that there's a chest in the back filled with all sorts of random strap
and he can sit in the in the passengers, okay, and then the
chair can go in the back. Everyone else either out to uber in or
bundle into the back and hold on as I chucked this thing around corners.
I've always wanted to learn how to serve all right to everybody in And also,
Diana, you can definitely have a car if you car, Diana,
so that I can shouldn't, Diana, it's much less than a Then my
shotgun applies to Diana's car. If that's okay, Diana, Can I ride
with you? Of course? No? Thank god for that chapter, for
sticking with the vamp the van. All right, all right, you're getting
the bank with him and if you need it. Who there's a fucking silvered
pipe in the box, got it? We need to ti him up if
possible. What did you do with him anyway? Take a start tying him
up. I see we have zip tires and stuff. You can hard.
We're back here to mountain too. What are you stick him with? Think?
Just like in the movie, it's like a normal steak for funck shake.
What I just paid a few bob for a fucking obsidian knife. Well
it's shiny and we'll do a very nice job. But right, well,
Barry said that he was going to do a bit more than that, you
know what I mean. But if we can do it with a bit of
dogs can't look up? Well, I can't discuss this shouting fucking dog.
Look up? Yeah, do you towards Mike. I ain't fucking looking anywhere.
Everyone else looking to the dog. It looks again we're getting in.
I'm like helping him into the van. And it's like Jack's just sitting in
the background. Yeah, I'm already back there with the vampire, but I'm
I'm definitely like, just get get in. Yeah oh yeah. So after
a short drive, you are all crammed into the elevator of your what do
you call it an office? It's the office. Yes, this is not
a fancy elevator, is in fact a piece of sheep metal with that kind
of hatched like grip kind of pattern, with a very simple bar and an
up and a down button, and you descend through brickwork to the office.
And as you step out of the elevator, I think it will be a
good time to explain what each of you appear like. Who steps out first?
I do, bana. What's your demeanor? What's your look? Well,
firstly, I suppose it would be posh. I'm dressed nicely, probably
stand out against the grim lighting here, brown hair, I'm about five seven
and happy to be home. Who's next? I will if nobody else will
calor please describe your demeanor and your look. Okay, I skip out of
the elevator. I am very excited to be back. My best friend is
here as well, so I definitely take a glance over, and I'm not
going to describe that yet. And I'm in a pink, frilly made outfit.
I have a pink wagon. And yeah, I'm generally really happy to
be here. And I take pictures of everything pretty cheery. That's it.
And I skip over and I probably sit down. Oh that's right, I
invaded this little office space with a bunch of stuffed animals just a little bit.
And so I head over to the couch and I sit down, and
I get a few plushies and I'm hugging the plushies waiting for Diana to continue
the big fancy meeting. Oh, and I have caddiers unforgettable. Who's next,
probably right at the back. Yeah, I'm hanging back with the helping
carry this thing. Okay, sounds like the O then, yeah, I
fucking salting her out. I've got I look like a little bit, maybe
a little bit drunk, maybe on a little bit of drugs of some salt.
Pretty casual, you know, a little bit of swagger to the walk
suit pants, but they look old. Decent looking shirt, but really it's
a cheap looking thing. I've got a fucking coat with a bunch of pockets,
in it, all sorts of shit in it. Pretty much just your
average Landon geeze, except for the fact that I've got loads of cuts and
scabs and scars over my hands. Jack Back looks grim and determined. This
is the most intense part of her job as she sees it. You look
closer, you'll notice that although she just came from a club, there is
grease around her fingernails and maybe in the creases of her fingers and knuckles,
and they look her hands look like they've been working a fair bit, and
she probably actually smells a little bit like w D forty or something. And
she is in full on serious mode. This is a monster. They're in
possession of it. She'd like it dead more than anything. But apparently the
boss here has designs on some or one one, and that's great if it
leads to more of these fucks. That's bin ai stlly. Yeah. I
roll out of the elevator and an expensive looking shit on It looks expensive,
but it is one marks and sparks, not the worst. I look a
little bit like I'm deep in thought because that steak actually worked like in the
movie. That's interesting. But I also look a little bit embarrassed that I
was kind of helpless on a toilet for five ten minutes. Okay, I'll
follow Jack. Yeah, I'm anything to drink the first thing I say and
shout at Diana. We have tea. We always have some tea. First,
bring the creature to the table, and then we can all celebrate afterwards,
Jack, celebrate. Chuck it on the fact in I just throw them
on the work bench. Yeah, you clear off motors and books and yeah,
heavily fucking hell with that. Yeah, stupid. It is, as
you would say a lot. Is it fucking dead or what? I doubt
it from all reports, They're not dead. They're kind of just sort of
frozen in undead. Hang on, this is Martha's cookbook, right, there's
gonna wake up, hunt Master. Uh. I mean I didn't think it
would work, to be honest, but I think if you pull it out,
it'll wake up, right. Yeah, that's I mean. Martha says
they've gotten up years after it's been removed flat, so a fact I should
have brought in a pie and co work. I wonder if I could dress
it up, hunt Master. I've been studying this topic for nearly my entire
life. I'm assuming I have a deep understanding of this state, Can I
roll for that or how much do I know? Well, if you would
like to know more than I'm about to give you, you can roll.
But let's start with. Yes, they are immobilized and will be until you
remove the steak. Like they say, what else they can do? Then
you don't know, but it can probably only happen once the steak is removed.
And also they definitely can't talk in this state or right colors correct,
leave the steak. They cannot speak or do anything, sir, I'll be
right back. Please don't take that steak out yet. We need to properly
plan. That thing's not coming out. That he almost killed me. He
would have snapped my neck. Yeah, if you do, if it wakes
up, you don't like my neck? Yeah, I got that. There
a crucifix that is an infield number two that mark one thirty eight caliber silver
bullets in it as well. Do you think if an apron Harry dagging the
market we can consider it for the interrogation. I think it'd be hilarious,
right, would silver bullet work or not? Onlie? I thought that was
the werewolves. Yeah, well they're kind of they're not the same thing at
all. They're not the same. But silver is recorded. No, that's
it's supposed to be iron, isn't it. Some say iron, some say
silver, some say it ain't nothing. Well, it would make sense that
it was iron because historically in mythology, fake creatures and vampires don't like irony.
Normal. Yeah, there's a couple of normal bullets. Josh, what
does Martha Martha's cookbooks say about silver in relation to vampires? Yeah, okay,
would you like to roll your library? My library is I believe resolve
academics. I used to use that in World War two. You know,
that was a classic. That's what everyone had. Everyone had one of them
on there. Well there were British anyway, So would be good if we've
got one like that, you know that recognize xer out vampires, you know,
last thing they see something. Now it's seen for like seventy years seven,
all right, I don't know how long has it been since World War
two? Well it's twenty twenty two. A long time for success for successes.
Well, because this is such a specific ask, yeah, you find
it normally this takes a significantly longer time to find things. But this is
very basic information. What harms vampires was your question? Right? Yes?
Oh, I have a perk for that. Yes you can. That's not
to harm them, right, So, yeah, you can get easy access
to the information. A sure fire way to kill them is some sure fire
way to harm them is fire. Oh, we all know that because we've
seen the video. Right. Oh, I don't think everyone's seen the video
yet. I have, so I know that I could like your on fire.
But I'm taking my apron office. I can't guarantee silver, but we
should test it. Lon't get your Well, we can test that as well.
I grab one of Diana's very fancy teaspoons because I've noticed they're made out
of real silver, and I walk back over and I'm holding it. I
can just put this on his skin, right, yeah, place it on
the scal there is no reaction. Well, I didn't see the words of
us. I meant when he was awake, we should probably get some fire
in you. Well, why would we wait to test it when he's awake,
Ollie? We have to interrogate this guy, right, We shouldn't know
what hurts him before we wake. I'm talking about after. This is just
information we can use going forward. That's what I'm saying. We let the
sun take him. Wake up. I want to kill him, son,
try and get him from him. I mean, yeah, what kind of
simple do you want to let me show him as well? I wouldn't mind
having I'd like to shoot him. Listen, I see that. Oh my
god, did he heal that already? How can I get that out?
Now? Look at his skin is completely healed around my knife. It's it's
still quite bloody. But yeah, he's uh, just yanked. Then you're
getting your knife back. He was part stare Yeah, huntmaster? What were
Why was this person a target? Why are we going after this particular vampire?
So I don't This is entirely up to you, Diana, whether you
would have explained this to everyone, But first off, I imagine this was
somewhat of a test for everyone mm hmm. But also, this was your
first and only supernatural lead activity in this city, and right you are looking
to find out why people are dying, all of whom are found with duck
marks or most like burns on their palm. Right, and you have recently
learned from a very good friend in the city who you definitely didn't kidnap.
Mm hmm. That people have the mark appear, lose their energy, disappear
and then I found dead. All right, it's Alistair here. Alistair can
be here if you like. Yes, yes, And one more thing.
We have an interrogation room. Is that correct? That is not correct.
I don't that is not correct. Let me check your cell thing. But
I don't think you added that E bit in the end? No, no,
you you have where did? I'm sure get mister Stagg again in the
center of this room. Just kind of tied him up. Perfect. All
right, here's a chair. We wait, We prepare to interrogate him.
That preparation time can take as long as we need. He's not going anywhere.
Well, he has that steak in his heart, right, so it's
important that we get everything ready. Then we pull the steak out, interrogate
him with the idea that we will then bring him out to the sun.
Perhaps it's better to do it outside at daybreak. Yes, we can threaten
his life and he will give us information. Oh, absolutely, racquela him.
It's just a matter of wynes. But of course it's at first we
want to give the impression that we will let him go if he gives us
the correct information. He's going to know where lies, aren't they like,
yes, I don't know. I think it fucking depends on their abilities.
But solid plan. If he doesn't answer us, he dies anyway in the
city's down. One more leech right, no skin off our back? Right?
Let me shoot him though you know why that could make a lot of
noise THEO right. Yeah, But then out and find out whether these fucking
silver bullets are worth anything. They cost you fifty pounds the bullet out,
fel and touch it to a skin. Touch a bullet to a skin to
see if it does anything to him. Now it's the perfect time to test
him. We should get all the information that we can because do you know
what would be terrifying to me is if I wake up and all these humans
actually know what will hurt me. But if they're sitting here like I'm going
to shoot you with a silver bullet and I know that's not going to hurt
me, I'm going to be like, these are some fucking idiots I'm dealing
with here, and I'm not going to tell them anything. Master. Rather,
how many hours till dawn? Uh? At this point there's probably a
couple of hours, and you can easily wait those out preparing. It's got
a good point, though, Gussie, we want to test some things.
That wasn't the point. That was my point. Yeah, I did make
that point to be fair, right, I'll tell you what is in I
do well dickering, I uncap crucify holy water or some into the cap and
uh dump it on his wrist. Gee, that's what I'm talking about,
all right, A silver bullet on his forehead and just leave it. I
can you get out of the garlic? I do? I can I bring
out a bag of garlic because we have some I would imagine around like hanging
up as it is a sort of protection. So yeah, I grab a
bag of garlic and I bring it over and I just I'm like, I
kind of move it around his face. Does anything happen? So no,
the three experiments begin. The silver bullet on the forehead does nothing. The
garlic also does nothing. But the holy water seems to cause his skin.
It's like a tiny little drop on his skin, and it seems to slowly
cause what on a normal person you would call like irritation, like a rash
am a huntmaster. If I ask Jack to put some on his open wound.
What happens to his blood? The blood itself evaporates. Right, So
here's what we do. We put that ship in an ivy. It'll talk
in no time. I bounce a little bit, like getting excited. And
when I see the skin peeling and things like that, I'm just like it
fucked month exactly? Is well? It's blessed water from a church, you
know, blust by a priest. Right, that's what we've got and it
works. Look at that, the gift from God's sucking him up, isn't
it? Yeah? I know it? Does it have to be water though?
Like could it be locaside or something? I don't goddamn no. I
shove him. I shove the vampire off of the work bench. This is
definitely part Ollie's bench as well. But I had to get my things off
of here to put him on there. And I'm done with my experimentation on
him, and I look at Calla and say, it's the damn good idea,
the ivy. I like it, Thank you, I think, I
say, I like it, kid, And I start tinkering on one side
of the table with wait there for a second. My shoulders come up a
little bit as if I'm waiting for her to pat me on the head,
but she doesn't, and then I get sick. Cala, yeah, Tess,
a crucifix necklace, Oh okay, yeah, yeah yeah. And I
take my crucifix necklace off and I touch it to his forehead, to a
skin, a crucifix. There is nothing now that is interesting. Why do
you think holy water works at the crucifix? Stress? This could be all
different because he's in torpor, aren't they Do you think it happens, I
mean like God's reel then as well because I prayed or nothing. I'm fucked.
I am start with about the fact that the fucking only water is working
on the monster. Well, that's what I just said. Why does that
work? So you are not gods? Yeah, but they're just it is
real. That's not up for debate. What do you mean God's something?
I don't think about this. Imagine you went with your fucking iPhone to some
prehistoric land. I think you were the gods. While they're talking, I
would like to enter my part of the office, which has some screens.
I would like to see if it's possible for me to access the leach at
the AAC Club. Their system the camera system. Okay, what are you
looking for? I would like to delete all record of us being there,
an all footage of us going into the bathroom or whatever events that we did.
I have the ability watching Big Brother. It's part of global access.
Okay, then roll me your intelligence technology. Oh two. Would you like
to either spend a point in world power to reroll two? I think yes,
I believe so, yes, or you could get one extradise with desperation,
I think I don't feel fair desperate. Yeah, not particularly desperate at
the moment. So yeah, we roll too. Wow, this is happening.
I'm taking a picture of this vampire. Do I just roll the same
to D ten to ten? You're not going to post those? I'm I'm
not going to post them, all right? Maybe just pictures on that on
that phone. Get very excited. I just I'm excited because I want to
see if he stays, if he shows up in the picture, does he
hunt master? Oh? Yeah, he shows up in the picture. Okay,
Well you take a picture. You have a picture of a ginger man
on your on the picture or what he does? I just have heard rumors
that they don't show up. Interesting, all right, Diana, Yes,
Unfortunately, this isn't actually something that you do wrong. You don't have enough
successes to delete these, you know, surveillance footage from inside the club,
because this is, as far as you can tell, a very archaic system.
It's probably all just like crappy little pinhole cameras on a like a local
CCTV. They're probably even using you know, VHS still to record it.
This is not advanced enough to get over the internet. I'm surprised. All
the time and power and money in the world VHS. Well it's all right.
I mean it's preventing you from doing exactly what you're trying to do.
Right, So maybe they're just smarter than we are. Huhm. It can
take a phoot of them teeth. Okay, you lift up it, yeah,
okay, fine, I'll put it in food mode. Lift up the
lift up the lip. All right. Oh look at it. It's fucking
disgusting. Yeah, you're here, and it's going to be strong. What
do you mean, yes, well, like when we wipe it up.
Well, I's going to just fucking froze out a window. Yeah. He
grabbed me by the neck and it pushed me what yeah, mother, Yeah,
but you took him down right. Yeah, together. Let me make
it clear. It was entirely luck. It's because I it's because I had
that knife underneath my skirt. If I hadn't had that and I hadn't been
fast enough, I would be dead. It wasn't reckon. All of us
should be fine. I don't think a word that we should use to tie
it up. We should wrap it up. You know, we're lucky,
stronger, That's what I'm saying. Be careful. We got very lucky this
time. Yeah, this is a little clumsy. I think, well,
yeah, I think I mean to be honest, If Princess fucking Page can
take it down, and the literal Princess Diana can take it down, I
think we'll be all right with the rest of us. And I don't think
I'll write is a word that we should use when we're talking about that fucking
biscuit? And or we should always be in our toes. Well, Diana
is back in here, huntmaster, or is Diana back out of here?
Okay, I'm gonna pull Diana aside, but not like out of hearing.
I just want to have a directed conversation with her, and just so the
two of you yeah, get a little. Yeah, I think it's uh.
I think it's time I pay Hey, Grandpa visit. We're we we
just lucked out here. We need we just need more details, you know,
And I really feel like he could he could help. I can go
see him, you know, like maybe over the weekend or something, maybe
next week. All right, it's a good place, all right, if
you're willing. Yeah, I just I'll get in touch with him and just
see what he's free. I don't want to fuck this up. You know,
this is a good opportunity you've given us, and I don't want to
suck it up. You're not fucking it up, Jack. In case all
of you have not noticed, we currently have an asleep vampire in our office.
We did this tonight. We've only been operating for what a month?
Yea. It brought the best of the best together in this city, and
we will find what's going on. We will solve this. Yeah, right,
should his bloodabbing that fucker? I think, So get back to work.
Do you want me to go down and see if I can get an
ivy bag and stuff that we might need for later. I can stop by
the church and get some holy water too. I never that. What is
the plan? So at this point you have an opportunity to do break?
Are you waiting for sunrise? Are you do have to do this now?
He ain't gonna move until we let him move. We have time to take
this time to research and make sure Allie has all the information that he needs
and if we if it's not this, she might be dressed like a cat.
But she's right. If it's not the sunrise, it can be tomorrow
or the day after. We have time. It's not going anywhere, but
we should find a safe place for it tied up for now, just in
case we should all tying it up is anything if it happens to I don't
know, jostle or a bike chain or something in the back of the van
chain would be a good idea. I think I got some cuffs. Actually,
whould you get cuffs from? Where? Do you fucking thinking? The
real question? Fucking Barry probably made a plastic I think that we have a
shitty little broom closet that's been cleared out, and maybe we have like some
crappy hardware store chains that we can strap this guy in with. You're trying
to strap the fellow up. I think, gosh, the back of my
van has got I'm treating it like schroding in his back of the van,
and that makes sense. I think cuffs are a stretch unless they're like pink
and furry. I thought you might, but yeah, you definitely have a
bike chain. You probably can probably find two really easily, and that will
definitely definitely hold this guy in like the smallest room you have. I wonder
off for like five minutes, head down to the van, and come back
with two completely different bike chains, like one's really thick and one's one of
those crappy little ones that might work on this thing, we just don't know
how effectively. And then I spend at least thirty minutes fucking with the code
trying to figure out how to get into it, before eventually I so this
guy chains over. This guy is strapped up in chains in the closet and
it is getting towards Do you tie him to the wall, do you time
to the chair, because is getting towards morning at this point, and you
might want to put him in the sun. That's entirely up to you.
Just a question. However, He's like this until we pull the steak out,
correct mm hm yes, so we could keep him for a year.
Yes, yes, feasibly. I'm not in a rush. Let's do the
best we can to prepare. Yes, it's okay with you. Maybe I
could just color double check and reach out to someone and see if there's anything
we're forgetting, like maybe we should do a test or of course, okay,
samples though. That's what I'll ask is if we should be getting any
sample, So perhaps we could take samples of his blood. Good thing to
think about, Alistair, can you please make a note that we would like
to have in the future, we should build some sort of small laboratory.
I'm so sorry, Diana. Is it okay if I have like renamed my
thing in my phone to Alistair, so every time you talk to your actual
butler, my phone records the note as well. Of course, okay,
perfect Alistair is your butler. I thought he was your boyfriend. Alistair is
not my butler, but he is my assistant. All right, we'll about
you have a part. Yes, is he are you inquiring as to whether
or not to have a boyfriend? Now, she asks, Well, I
didn't know it was a fucking I bare evenknew he was a fucking butler.
I thought it was a bodyguard. Look at the fucking size of him arms?
Is he Diana? Yeah, you know what? I think you can
fucking hear us. I'm sorry, but Alisa, it's not my boyfriend.
He's been with me for quite a long time now. We feel deeply uncomfortable.
I don't think. Yeah, we're talking. Yeah, all right,
we did think he was fucking punching above his way anyway, you know what
I mean? Oh? Okay, why he didn't do so well in them?
Yeah, it's go time. I am. I am a hot master.
I'm texting my forum of people, and I am attaching I am and
I am attaching the photos. I am very much like your Uh, this
is what I've discovered. What do you want me to do? Is there
anything I should you know? Like? Do you want me to take blood?
What? What do you want me to do with this thing? Uh?
Okay, yeah, you text the forum? I like, I know
that you're doing this, Like, did you? I mean, I to
us it just asked, Diana if I could reach out to somebody. So
I think you probably assume that that's what I am doing. Okay, while
you're doing that, I'm going to walk up behind you at our probably only
computer dusk. I imagine we're super close, so I do not hide my
phone from you. You can very clearly see I'm in the same I actually
don't know. Yes you do, because you're super tech, right. Yeah,
I'm on this website all the time. It's a very private thing.
I'm talking to people all the time, and I am double check and k
what's what's the aaps here? You're not you know, because we just did
that plain sight of everyone in public. This isn't on Instagram. Jack,
calm down, all right. I just don't want to be traced back into
this place. It's like a really good place for us to work. Don't
worry. This is the safest place on the internet. I promise. I
have somebody's Yeah, I have a little bit of that cat what yes,
I think I used to use it to tranquilize all you might can't put me
in a k hole. Well I'm trying to, you know, and just
relax a bit. Makes feel a bit better, and it, oh my
god, the system. Perhaps we keep that for after hours. This is
after hours and it's sucking five a m. You're at work, mate,
Well, maybe you're at work Butler, this is our work, isn't it.
It's assistant. Actually, my phone stucks beeping and buzzing that someone has
just uploaded to the forum that I follow very closely. Oh, you're in
the forum too, okay, okay, information is in the best place.
Do you know Crowley was a sub because he is like my best friend?
Ye? What his username is? Crowley was a sub? He's like the
admin of the website. Oh that prick? Yeah, okay, so you
don't really follow it that closely? Then? Well, no, he banned
me? Why that? What did you do, prick? Oh? Yeah?
Where does he leave that one? We were trying to find it out,
won't we Yeah? Where he was the wrong one? Money? Yeah,
I know, but she might know where he fucking lives. We can
go around here and have a word. Yeah, but he was the wrong
one. If he calls your a prick to your face, that's not the
focus here, guys. Is anybody said anything back from so on the forum?
Yes? Do you want me to roll? Uh? No, there's
no rolling on the on the on the forum or something. Okay, No,
no, you you just have access and you know you would be considered
quite influential on this forum. It's one of those old fashioned like posting forums,
so it's like blue and light blue color scheme and the buttons down the
side, and then all of the everyone actually got themselves a little bio down
underneath every single post. This is old school, but it is private and
it is relatively secure as far as you're aware. And after about five minutes,
one of the frequent posters, the sympos, posts, what does his
blood taste? Like? I'm not going to taste his blood? Why not?
I don't, it's unclean, it's a mind blood. Yeah, I'm
not doing it. I'm not doing it. Did you try gar someone who
probably would turn I tried garlic on the skin, but not on the blood,
and I basically list off everything that we've tried. Eventually, why in
the crucifix work, Sunny Seaside pipes up and it's like, Hi, I
really love the pictures. Actually those are very cute. You probably don't have
the specific type of you know, dampier that it responds to religious symbols.
So I understand it's not a loss, but unfortunately it's not going to do
anything. And eventually Crowley was a sub turns up and it's just like put
it in the sunlight. It needs to die. I I put my phone
down and I say, well, they don't want us to test anything extra.
We've done a great job. Let's kill it. Oh we need more
information and I wanted to or more of them are okay, we can't just
all right? Well, I mean, as we proceed with the interrogation and
then kill it, can the other ones find it? You know? I
delete all of it and off the website like a homing beacon. Yeah,
I figure, you know, like how pigeon gets lost, it can always
find their flock. Is that true? I don't know if it really works
like that. Last time we haven't. Let's do we have access to a
rooftop? A rooftop yeah, pretty easily, So it's entirely up to you
what kind of rooftop this is. But in my imagination, you have this
office base of yours pretty well hidden underneath an old abandoned factory, so red
brick, very easy to access. There's nothing like in your way aside from
like a fence that's bent out the way perfect and then there's your space underneath.
So yeah, you can get to the top of this old factory.
Looks across the river. I'm telling you we need more information before we kill
it, more information about what and how to kill him. No, I
don't think he's gonna tell us that, but we need to know tell us
with his mouth. You know, one more thing, nests some ship.
I would like to assume that I know that cutting off its head that's something
as well. I know that that. Okay. Yes, the reason you
weren't able to just chop its head off in the middle of the bathroom is
because that's an extremely difficult thing to do, even to a right Yes,
all right, here's the plan. We bring it up to the sunlight,
we wake it up, we ask it questions, and if all else fails,
Kla can cut its head off son and no head sure to be dead.
You want me to do it? You don't want to do it?
I mean, I'm should be happy to do it. I just thought maybe
you would want to. I don't care who does it. Let's just find
out where his fucking friends are, Okay, let me get out his head
off with I think that hamah obviously, and I go get my friend.
I go get my best friend, which is my big fucking Claymore, which
is the fucking size of me. Yes, fucking and start going to deliver
justice with that. I certainly am like this, and I just do if
I can, because I know it's a very small area, but I will
show him that I can lift it quite easily. Oh yeah, real,
where do you get that? Yes, it's real. Where do you get
it from? I'm not telling no, you've got to tell me that.
Come on, you get from randeer or what you bring it with you?
You can give me something and then I'll tell you. Good luck figuring out
what I want. Oh thanks, try made up or something. What do
you want? Lipstick? I think she's got enough love yo. Yeah,
I know she's fucking caked. And have you got normal clothes or what?
No? You go around like that all the time. What happened? What
do you mean? I mean you're basically making a target at yourself and you
they're going to eat you up. You're like literal candy. Thank you?
All right? Is everybody ready? It's the plan clear and we need to
record everything. I got it. Yes, I'm ready. Now the questions
what information are we looking for? There's a series of people who are dying
dark marks on the palm. Okay, but you don't lead with that,
right, No, of course, I'm okay, just from recapping us.
Right, we're here for okay, yes, sorry, the purpose. Maybe
I'm any more in the city. Maybe there's another one, yeah, an
idea of numbers, you know, location, anything we can get. There's
a chance that this creature knows nothing, but it will die tonight anyway.
Okay, we are clear. Yep, yep, it's got a saving in
it. Are you ready to take this one monster closer to salvation? Yeah?
Yeah, boss, let's go now. But I'm ready to kill it.
So you're all up on the roof. You can see the pink of
the sunrise just about two spread its rays onto the roof, and you are
now convinced that this will destroy the vampire. And you probably have maybe twenty
minutes. Who will remove the steak? I will you? All right?
Wait, and you grab the steak and it is firmly embedded in there,
and after a couple of hesitant tugs, yanks out and he immediately what the
fuck? Oh god, and he spits blood onto the floor and he looks
water. I've got a gun pointed at him. Hello, Jesus Christ,
who the fuck are you? Good morning? I have a couple of questions
for you. Ah, sure, sure, a couple of questions, right,
You want to know about the books I had? You're asking about the
books. That's that's you, the pretty girl from there from the bar.
It's pretty thank you. Yeah she's a woman. Actually, yeah, the
girl will do. Okay, you shut the fuck up and listen right right.
We are gathering information about some strange occurrences in the city of Manchester.
Are you familiar with the dark marks? People dying, dark marks and people's
on the on the on the palm. Okay, oh, okay, okay,
so that's what this is about. What else would it be about.
I'm sure you've guessed by now. I drink blood, so I can't really
say like I was expecting you to ask about the dark marks. Okay,
yeah, let's talk about the dark marks? All right. You don't know
anything, do you? I know some things, but I would love your
information about what you know. That's why you're here. Okay, what do
I know? And tee plenty of things. I know you're in a lot
of trouble. If I got missing, I know I could lead you to
where the dark marks can be found, the source. I mean, you
could also, just give us an address and I can use Google Maps,
Right, but then then you'll leave me up here, right, I mean
we might fucking do that. Anyway, give us some answers. I drop
a little bit of the holy water. I probably, I don't know.
I want to say, what's exposed on this guy? Just his arms?
Is he wearing like a T shirt and jeans? Or he's wearing a shirt
with the rolled up sleeves and yeah, e jeans. I dab a little
in my palm and put you know, two three figures in it and just
flick at his face? What so? I mean, what can you possibly
hope to get out of this? Is this? Is this your plan?
Is this how you think? Definitely? You piece as ship? Why don't
you tell us where some of your little friends are? Do you want to
know where thelm or where friends are? Yeah? Do you not have friends?
How about you have a little trip? I'm sorry, way back to
the AE C. Can I can I stop her from looking at him?
Terrified he's gonna trance her or something. I will drop my phone and break
it because I love Jack so much, Okay, I do not want her
making eye contact with this thing? Right now? Jack, yep, make
me a ship. Uh intelligence resolve plus one for Cala's help. Okay,
and does intelligence or resolve go first? Which one do I roll first into?
Okay resolve? No, not for the one at the top. Okay,
give me a moment to figure this second attribute and then it should allow
me to add one. Yes, it does. You can go. If
Kala drops her phone, I will pick it up and continue to film with
it. Oh wow, Yeah, that is a crit create success. Oh
he looks in your eye and I think the fight is leaving him. I
also like to don't look at him right that? I was like, yeah,
sorry to interrupt. Yeah, no, no, no, he tries
his damnness to worm the words into your ear at this point, why would
you listen to him? Nice? Try fuck out? I'm not going anywhere
you might be though, anybody ask got any other questions? Yes, who
are we in trouble with? When you don't go home tonight, I'm sure
you'll find out eventually. What if we do? What I think? What
would you do for us? Then? If I do get to go home,
M probably tell my friends about you. You're an honest lotter this evening.
If I go back and I tell them what I've done. Anyways,
So you're dead either way. I'll take my chance. Is with you getting
caught isn't something I'm supposed to do, Okay, So if we let you
live, what's the first thing? Hold on, we're supposed to do?
What do you mean supposed to do you want to get caught? Do you
want someone to tie you on a roof? I mean, are there rules
for you? Fucking lot? You see his eyes go wide as if you
have hit the nail on the head and he has spoken too much? Ah
rules? What someone? Do you have? Like a society? Are you
fucking organized? The boss wouldn't be very happy with that. The fact that
you were taken by a few scummy humans. Correct, it's a weakness.
You're weak of no use any further. So here's what we'd like to offer
you. You give us information, all the information that we want, and
we'll let you go and you can run away from your home and your boss
and live another day longer. I don't I think you actually know what I
am? Do you have a word for what I am? Leech le,
prick ell, end, predatorally, I mean, none of them are too
far from the truth. Do you have a word for what you are.
Other people have a word for what I am. Oh I'm a monster,
but I have feelings about it, and I'm so sad and you should take
pity on me. That was happening right now. I was a normal dude,
Like two weeks ago. I was having a great time. I was
learning all sorts of stuff. I was, I was, I was going
to get my I was going to get my degree. And then one person
gets just a little too close to me and that it would that be like
you were going in the bathroom. Yeah, so that was very interesting,
buddy, who got too close to you? It was a professor at the
university. Professor huh, Which she doesn't matter anymore. I I used to
think that I didn't exist, and now I have so much power anger.
I have something else telling me what to do. Every night, I cannot
see the sunlight, and you know what, that sucks just a bit too
much for me. So this is not going to go how you think it's
going to go. You can all get fucked. I will watch the sun
rise. That's very honorable. So that professor did you say? She I
didn't say anything about this professor. You might have said she I don't want
anyone else to meet them. I think it's too dangerous. If you're so
sad about your current state of affairs, perhaps with your last moments, you
could do some good, put some honor, actual honor on your name,
and give us some information about what's going on with the dark Mark. Your
family. I used to have family, but the dark Mark won't hurt them,
so I'm not worried. I'm not threatening your family. I'm saying that
maybe we could pay a visit your family and tell them a nice story about
how you've died. Because you're not allowed to do that, are you?
You just have to disappear. Isn't that right? I don't think I want
any of you near my family, says an actual monster. Actual monster eats
people. Yeah, no, good guys here, I guess I I may
we're the good guys. You're fucking monster if you say so. Monsters,
Well, I wish you good luck because the Black Mark is a mystery,
and it's also something you are going to tell us about. Anything you know
there, Champ, I know that if you chase it, you will die.
Where did you come from? Where does it come from? Yeah?
If I knew that do you think I would really be? Does it affect
vampires as well? You just said you could lead us to the source.
That was before I realized that you're just as dumb as I am. I
see, kill him, Oh, oh, don't kill him? What you
have about two minutes before the sun rises and kills him for you fea.
I walk over and I put the gun to the top of his kneecap and
then fire a silver bullet into the top of his thigh. He yells,
how bad? Does that bad? Enough? It is it? He l
The next one is a normal all right? And I pointed to his other
leg and I shoot the other leg. Fucking hell? Vo you shoot him
in the other leg? Apparently the difference is nothing. And if he's he's
just kind of staring at you. WinCE again. Pain. You didn't like
that, did you? Do you know someone named mister Stag it's the name
stag ring a bell mhm or right? How many people a humor? Uh?
In two weeks? How many people have you attacked in bathrooms? Kah?
Yeah, you want to know something? You were my first looking at
Diana? Is that what they all say? I mean, technically you didn't
attack her. You attacked me, but you were going to attack her The
price of one novels? Oh you want? As the sun rises and slowly
casts its rays crawling across the roof, and it starts to hit his skin.
What is your name? When I fucking distink that does out? This
isn't going to go how you think it is. My death is only the
first, not the heroes. Do you think you charred piece of ship?
What does that even mean? As soon as you ask that, he bursts
into flames for smell ship. Do you think every single instance of spontaneous combustion
has actually been vampires? Nah? Well, I think it's congeal fat.
Oh. Sometimes you're just fucking way smarter than I think you are. No,
I was cleaning up this butler. I know I look like son's gonna
do that. I do a different kind of clean. I want some of
his remains. Do you need I can't believe I'm asking you this. Do
you need help? No? I can do all right, and begin walking
off of the roof. Ollie, you're searching through the remains, Yeah,
there's something very interesting. You find his ash. His clothes, however,
are untouched. There's no scorch marks or nothing. They're a little scruffed up,
but mainly the heat has just charred them a little. You also find
a coded note. What's I was saying that? What's that say? You
have no idea what it says? You are fairly confident. I have no.
That's impossible that that's not what? What does it say? And it's
in fucking Hebrew or something? No? I can read fucking Hebrew? All
right, Well then it's in Russian or something? What is that? Reading
Russian? I can read fucking everything. Sorry, you can't read that.
I didn't I didn't mean you cannot read that. As you look at that,
I'm pointing at at Jack. I'm staring down at the clothing that seems
unburned or is unburned sand. What kind of return is that? Do you
think they all walk aroun? Don't like that? You know? So don't
just burst into fleame. What I'm gonna gather up a piece of the clothing
and see if I can, once I get downstairs, if I can fuck
with it and burn it and ship so I'll say I grab his shirt.
What what would you ask? The what's up? Can you read that?
Whatever? The fact I say, I snatched the paper, weird symbols on
here that resemble letters. Fucked if I even know what the fuck that language
is. But do you know somebody that might for you probably heard me reference
my grandpa. This is weird. Yes, there is no fucking language though
I cannot read. Yes, that's true. So the only possible option is
that this is a cipher YEP that springs to mind for you, a code.
I'm gonna plo out my phone and take a shot of this so to
share it with. There's no language you can't read. Oh, it's a
fucking code, is it? When getting a Enigma machine, and you get
a fucking Enigma machine, all right, and I can probably get easy machine.
Yeah, I can get your Enigma machine. I'll give you twenty quid.
Probably can he said he can get me an MP faulty. You know.
So if you can get old of a Nazi gun, he can probably
get old of a fucking Nazi Enigma machine. Right, you'll never get older
nine millimeter parabella. Mate. I thought the vampires were fucking Nazis. That's
where they fucking went. We weren't a fuck and good guys, you know
what I mean? How did this happen? I mean, he's a fucking
doorknob, and you're I grabbed the shirt and head down to the basement before.
Oh yeah, you want to experiment. You want to do an experiment
on you go downstairs. Very quickly you find out that this is absolutely flammable.
Oh the shirt is a normal cotton shirt. Okay, okay, it
even has drying instructions on it. A fuck, look at this, and
I take a picture. This fucking shirt is flammable. How's it gonna happen
that bitch can burn is fucking clothes? Camp? Ollie? What how this
ship something beyond fire but not catch something else that is flammable on fire?
Does that imply that the vampires burn at different temperatures? What I'm saying is
the vampire burns at a different temperature to cotton. Its lower temperature than cotton.
I mean he was on fire. He was on fire. He exploded.
Play the video. Oh sure, wow, look at that. Wait
does he wait? Wait wait, ollie, Look he ignite from his heart
first? Does he ignite from his horse? He ignites from where the sun
touches him first? No, it's just where the sun doesn't burn cotton.
Yeah, but didn't he catch on fire. Sun doesn't burn cotton, but
his fire would catch cotton on fire if strange magical fire, in which case
something would normally burn. But what But I guess what I'm saying, mister
scientist, is is he is he burning at a lower temperature, like at
what temperature? Just Caughton not immediately catch fire really fast? That's what I'm
saying. Like even if it even if he was burning at an incredibly low
temperature, it would still set cotton on fire. It's cut is why fire
really hurts them. They burned so easy, right, Yeah, fuck the
clothes. I ball this thing up and would create Yeah, toss it a
little, would create near my my bench. Are you saying, wait wait
wait wait wait? Are you saying I could literally take my wake up morning
sunshine sun lamp and do damage to a vampire? I don't know morning sunshine
roughly it shirps the birds every morning at seven, and I just I feel
so refreshed every morning. You can try it if you want. No,
I just nothing, but this will trust me, and it might also light
a vampire on fire. Okay, I'll put it in the list. Only
some books, but you got a lot of books. I think you should
know your name hundred books. I say that and turn away to get tea
but then that stops me. Yeah, okay, you deafo do Yeah,
his name is Walter Elliott. Okay, And have I met mister Elliott yet?
Or are we not close enough? I know it's not that we're not
close enough. I seldom go great to see him, so I won't have
been to see him in the month that we've known each other. Okay,
so it's not that we're not close enough. But you have not met him
in person? Okay, I've been waiting. Uh oh, Grandpa Elliott.
You want us to go meet Grandpa Elliott. Oh, this is a big
deal. Only pay attention. This is a very big deal. Her grandpa
knows a lot of stuff. You know. I want it everybody to meet
him. But he's pretty reclusive. So like, look, if he says
that, shock only I can go. Just don't take offense. Okay,
what does that mean? Well, I mean he means I want to go.
If there's a limited number of people who can go meet Grandpa Elliott,
I want Oh yeah, just take notes. So all right, Well I
also think, uh yeah, I think the boss wants to go to so
okay, well, shotgun, shotgun, second shotgun. Right, I'll give
him a call soon. He doesn't like fucking believe in the internet. So
yeah, it's like nineteen ninety three over there. Yeah okay. Oh by
the way, uh, there was a new shop that opened up on eighth
Street. Yeah you want to go? Oh one morning? Yeah, my
family, we need a coffee. I like this, thank you. Okay,
I'll take a turn around Cipher to to go get tea and I shout
behind my shoulder, anybody want a Kappa? Yeah, on it, and
I'm gonna funk off from brew tea. Okay, I think that's a really
good opportunity to take a quick break. Make sure when you get back you've
washed your pist mittens. But until then, don't go anywhere. A After
a short ish drive north out of Manchester, you'll arrive at a little bit
of picturesque comparatively house. And this is the house of Grandpa Elliot, Walter
Elliott. Correct. Correct, You will get out of the car's jack obviously
you know this place so well. He's lived here for a decade at least.
Now this feels a little bit like home to you. So you are
at the gate and everyone else is behind you. So has he got like
an Enigma machine or what? Right THEO? Could you just stay in the
van there? No, just look, can you We'll be really quick.
Do you just stand in the man please? All right? Dying shaying what
we were? Yeah, you better like yeah, just look out for ship
out here. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, awesome. I'm like sure,
no one scratches the baby at Diana. It's a it's a benzi.
Yeah. And I opened the gate and walk the gravel path. M hmm.
Okay, okay, So what do I need to know when I meet
him? Do I need to say something in particular when I introduced myself?
No, I wouldn't even just let me do the introductions. He's me,
is your best friend? I will yeah, I can. I can do
that, okay please yeah sure yeah yeah, yeah, of course you go
and help him up. It's probably like very shallow three stone steps along steps
and all dunk dunk dunk the knocker. After a little bit of kind of
what you know is fuddy duddying around behind the door. Your granddad wizzened bed,
many wrinkles and a permanent scowl on his face. Open. This is
the door, Jack, Jack, Jack, come come here, come here
are go in for the hug. M it's good. Good to have you
back. Who are these? Oh? Well that this is my best friend
Calla, and this here is Diana Kraft. I think you two know of
each other. And and my other friend here is Alli. I think you
two will get along. Wait while grandpa good. It takes just one second
just looking at each of you in turn, mm hmmm, and then he
waves you in. I'm going to follow him. I assume he's going right
back to his study. He takes you back to the study and there's like
a tray and just like, oh, drink anyone, anyone? Oh no,
I'm fine now, Oh I'll get that. No, I can get
grandpa. Oh, I don't mind if you. Yeah, it all thanks,
which just cover hall to the right. Do you think you right on
the stove? Okay, I'll like, can we uh we get that letter
right? Yeah, I'm gonna let him hand that to to Walter. Ah,
that's that's what I mentioned on the phone. M h anything. He
goes and gets his classes and he puts them on and it's like sits in
his chair and kind of leans back and inspects this thing, and so so
it's a cipher of what do you want? Oh uh, nobody good code
breakers? I can, I can, I can do this. Yeah sure
right right, that's that's great, that's great. Anyway we can help.
Just no, no, no, no, everyone should clear away, clear
away from the table. So I actually shoe. I had meant to introduce
introduce Diana a little more formally, but that's going to have to do for
the introductions, because I'm reminded that the gramps is pretty grumpy and very focused,
and so I don't shoot Diana. I never would, but I guide
her toward to said he by the window here. It probably overlooks the driveway,
and we're surrounded by books, and it's not like there's a lack of
things to look at or or tinker with. Just help, I just say,
just don't make any noise, okay, fused, he's like really focused.
Of course, there are quite a few books. Hey, yeah,
okay, Well I had a look at the cipher, and I can't I'd
need time. So yeah, no, maybe you don't have a little look
at these books. Yeah, this is uh, it's not normal cipher.
Don't don't even worry about it. You wouldn't get it. Uh. He
waddles over to one of the larger books and slams it on the table next
and dust flies everyone. And he opens up and he begins to read a
few things. And he gets some stuff out of a draw and begins to
draw some chalk. It's called the dust why everywhere? And I whisper to
Diana, who's probably sitting next to me, my grandma Petunia, she she
passed. Best not to mention she she passed years ago. And thank you,
I need a housekeeper. Don't worry. Petunia's a beautiful name. Thanks.
M okay. Uh, well, it's still in code, but you
should be able to read it now. It's actually a language. And he
like dodges the paper around in like offering it to each of you, like
very quickly and not seemingly annoyed. Mm hmm. And then he takes kind
of a a very heavy labored breath and like sits back down. M hm.
It was quick, mister Elliott. Is there anything I can get for
you? No, I'm I'm fine. Fine, some some time alone with
with Jack actually, of course, oh right, Grandpa, just I'll show
let me show them to the same So I'm going to lead Diana and Ollie,
who is presumably buried in that letter there and maybe grabbed a book or
two to the foyer and point across to a sitting room. Is this probably
won't take long? Oh, in a few words, and I quick though,
real quick. Look, okay, Yeah, as Jack leads you around,
you are looking at a comparatively simple cipher. This one actually in a
language you understand. This one is in Latin because it's quite fancily written,
so you can imagine whoever wrote it is rather pretentious. But yeah, make
a intelligence academics role to decipher the meaning six successes crap, okay, with
six successes the coded note. It takes a little bit of time. You
cross reference things and you, you know, make various inferences for what the
words actually mean in modern terms because it was clearly written in pen. So
after a while you realize that it says investigate marked person priest Darren penthorpe sat
Basil's confirm marks USB. Then they're a dash Darren penthorpe. Okay is it
dash? Dash? Oh right, yes, there is a dash. And
the the thing that took you the longest to decipher after this dash at the
end was in fact a name Regent Jones, which rings zero bells for you.
Okay, did Jack then go to see or is she waiting? Yeah?
At this point she's timelines diverge waiting. Oh yeah, And unless anyone
else has anything to say, it's Jack and her granddad. Uh yeah.
He keeps huffing and puffing a little bit. He just kind of clasps your
hand and he just says you, Oh, you're okay. I was gonna
ask you that, Grandpa. I'm fine. I just don't. You don't
have to worry about me. I do. Well, we worry about each
other then, right. You haven't been the same, No, Grandpa,
I never will be. I understand that. But you have to be careful
not to lose yourself in the hunt. Oh, I'll try. We we
got one, like I said, we like, we really got one.
It's dead. That's good. That's a good thing you did. You saved
a lot of people, a lot of harm. Yeah, that's the last
one going to be I don't think there. Well, why would I stop?
Because you need to put your life back together? Grandpa? Can we
No? I don't. I would rather not do this. This is just
heating up. I mean, you know about the marks. That makes this
more pressing than ever, and I don't. I don't think they'll ever stop
fighting. You've done your job, Grandpa. You kept me out of the
fight for a long time. It's time now time I trust you, and
I won't lecture you. The hunt is not a life, Grandpa. It
was yours, and I wasted a lot of it. I disagree, all
right. Maybe Grandma would have agreed, but I think she understood there is
more important things, and I don't want you to miss out what could be
more important than this, Grandpa. You can do a lot of good,
but you can also do a lot of harm. I know you're prepared,
but so is the city. You mean them. They will put things in
front of you you will never expect. That will will hurt you and cause
you to hurt other people that you don't intend. So please, just I
don't want to hurt anyone. I know, I know. Oh God,
you're good. You're a good girl, your grandpa, you're You're getting around
okay, but your breath sounding a little ragged. Have you been to the
doctor. Yes, they gave me pills and pay you taking them? No,
Grandpa, really without grandma here. I'm just thinking, if we get
someone, you know, a couple times a week, just clean up a
little and make sure you know I can do everything by myself. I'm fine.
His breath start to wheeze a little bit. More right, all right,
all right, just uh we'll talk about this soon, okay, Yes,
yes, you have important work to do. I do luck, thank
you. He returns to his books. Oliver. I think at this point
everyone has recollected, but you are in your own little note, your pence,
and finally the code reveals itself to you. I got it, all
right. This is about the black mark jack in here. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, give me a second, and you think you see
her scrape a tear away? What do we got? All right? Well,
whatever he did, he broke it down. Uh. It's essentially a
Latin block cipher, right, fascinating. Okay, but you don't usually see
block ciphers, certainly not in Latin the languages to Corpylan, you know,
sure, but it's a note from I think this is a name, Regent
Jones. Does that ring a new bells? Plodmaster? I have tea,
thank you, brilliant, no bells? All right, thank you Allie,
quick question. Do you take sugar in your tea or anything? Cream?
No? Okay, so I think I know that already. Oh okay,
so I hand you yours and it's the way that you normally would take it.
Ban what do we figure out? Anything? Good? Yeah, it's
a note from someone but then put into like a double cipher. Oh that's
exciting. But he broke it down. Why are double No? I didn't
even recognize what he was beforehand. There was like one hundred and sixty four
different points, which our languages, one hundred and sixty four different points.
Okay, this is going to take him. Sorry, right, Yeah,
it's a note from Regent Jones. Investigate black Mark. You figured all of
this out in the time it takes me to make a cup of tea.
Oh no, no, your grandfather did. And then I just I just
I just I just broke the Latin cipher and then just nothing. That's very
impressive. Well, anyway, it looks like the investigation is for Sacha Doss,
Priests, Aarin, penthorpe. Are these true English words? He's using
our names? What's happening here? Now? The name is Darren Pencil.
It's actually just means priest, priestess. It's it's it's a noun. It's
kind of it's Latin. They don't really but they also do everything as a
nun. But it's not really a nan after staring pantheral ring any bells?
What master? Uh the name? Probably not honestly? All right, all
right, so some fucking priest there are There are a bunch of seeds,
aren't they. I'm immediately asking the forum real quick. Actually probably just a
tiny group dam between my you know, the five. I don't want to
tell them anybody heard of it. You get a really sucky message from Sunny
Sea Side that's like googled it. It's just a screenshot of Google that says
priest An Penthorpe is the residents Church Manchester. In fact, he probably did
the let me google that for you. There's the there's also the yeah,
the fucking screenshot and everything that goes with that. I will reply just to
snarkily. I meant anything that might not be on Google. Obviously he's stuck
on up on holy water. What's going on? None of your business?
Wouldn't you like to know? Winky face? Okay, you can get like
an eye roll in motion well, here's what Google. I googled it.
Here's what Google has to say about it, and I read it out loud.
Where is that price in Manchester? Oh? Church? And Bazils?
Oh, it's a Saint Basil Basil. How do you say it here?
Bazel Basil, Saint Basils Bazel. Or it's weird bazl Basil. It just
sounds weird, you know, like basil sounds. I don't know. Airy.
Yeah, it's a little weird. They say oregano here too. I
don't oregano? Is that like paper crafts? Oh? Boy, are you
shot me? Now? Okay, anyway, you woman also missed a vital
part of that, but I may have. I get to write everything.
So so after this and Basil's church bit, it also says confirm marks USB.
Oh yeah, air bridge for the letters right? Or is it a
Latin word which means I mean it would be something that translates to thumb drive
right, thumb memory right? Yeah, pretend I said all that, yes,
because you can do that. No, it's kind of like grain storage
for information, kind of thumb shaped. So not only are they writing in
a double code, but you have to figure out after you figure out the
Latin inside that double code. You then have to figure out what they're probably
trying to say in English. Well, USB drives didn't really exist when the
language was No, that's my point. It's quite flattery. So you have
to figure out what they're trying to say. Yeah, you're very very it's
not going to be a grain silo made for information. That's not a thing,
is it? It's nice, it's if you want to see something cool
server. Wait what sectors? Does grim war? Yea protector? She is
mental? You have it? No? No, I wish you grabson chat
books. Wait you think he's now he's one of the Oh he's some can
I I'm gonna pull Jack aside for just a second. It's kind of running
a little low on food, and I noticed that dishes were kind of piling
up, just not made. You wanted to know ship? Did you?
I didn't do any but if you want me to, I could just run
and go do some dishes real quick. Did Did you see any medication in
there? I honestly didn't, and I wasn't being too nosy. I mean
I was being nosy any but I wouldn't been that nosy. Do you want
to be a little bit, nosy, I'll be back. What am I
looking for? All right? His his bedroom is down the hall, they're
door on the right. Just checks his medicine cabinet in the bathroom there in
the in his bathroom. Okay, all right, just just maybe take a
picture of what's what's in there? Okay? Thanks? Oh that's a shame
calor mm hmmm. While you're on your own, you're running around, you're
doing chores and being helpful and cute, and you have time to think.
It's a very important question. Yes, well, yes, it's a very
important question that oh no, now, oh no, go on, that's
a very important question. You realize when Oliver says confirm Marx usb uh huh?
Is that a reference to a mark on someone's palm or is that a
name potentially of a famous tiktoko that you have recently been listening to. I
am torn between this epiphany that I have just had in this particular moment and
how smart I will appear to Alie if I go back in and I'm like,
actually it's this and my best friend Jack telling you that I need to
go spy on her grandfather. So I very quickly finished my duty of spying
on Gramps and taking a picture of his medicine cabinet. I am indic by
the way. Oh yeah, so like ship, I take a picture of
the medicine cabinet. I'm in it, just peaking. You see a lot
of you see a lot of medicine here. In fact, that's a lot
of medicine on Are the bottles full? Because I know Jack is concerned he's
not taking his message? Okay, yeah, so I make sure to be
like, could take for me. I don't do drugs. You don't do
drugs. No, No, I'm catholic. Yeah, I know they do
anyway, So yeah, I will. I will take pictures for her,
and I'll get close. I'll use a little like, you know, food
things so she can see the pills and for the important looking ones. And
then I'll head back and I will immediately declare to them, I don't think
it's the USB. What I don't think it's the USB? And I pull
up her TikTok. Look at this TikToker. You see, Yeah, you
see a cool looking TikToker maybe uh forties out of guess uh. She looks
yeah, like a kind of talking head, political kind of person. Uh
and uh, it didn't occur to me right away. Thing. Okay,
well that's weird called sunglasses off the Dark. Yeah, and yeah, you
want to know, it's very cool. There's a video on here that was
taken down, but I still have it if you want to watch it.
It's pretty gruesome though. Yes, of course, Okay, let's see it.
I've already seen it, right. So what's interesting is the theory is
that it would be her in the video. But if it is her in
the video, how is it posted to her TikTok account. I thought it
was nonsense mm hmmm. And so a lot of people are saying, oh,
it's just a you know, stunt. I don't think it is.
Look it. I feel like it's and there hasn't been a post since,
so I think reference the girl. I go silent. I say nothing else
for the rest of feeling. I hate play watch it. Mm hm.
And I'm showing everyone video. M oh shit, m hmmm mm hmmm.
All of you watch two people go up in flames, much like you saw
earlier today. One of them looks similar to the woman in the TikTok that
she showed you. Yeah, now check this out. Here are some of
her tiktoks that are kind of you know, everybody was up in arms about
it. She claims that she knows vampires, is a vampire, which she's
claiming to be one. Yeah, sort of like also a lot of a
cult. Yeah. Look at all of her artworks, all of her paintings.
It's all hidden occult symbols in there. So she's claiming to be a
vampire, but not with words. It's all in her artwork. I'm going
to pull up the recording of the the vent we had got in flames.
Yeah, all right, play at the same time. Okay, yep,
two, oh, okay. Uh. The guy you knew recently or until
recently burns to ashes significantly faster, but it does look like the same effect.
There are a lot of theories about this one. If she is actually
a vampire, she might be pretty old. There's also a conspiracy theory online
that she's potentially spreading information, yeah, which I mean, if that's true,
I haven't heard about it, and the forum probably would have heard about
it unless something I don't know. Allie's got the bigger brain for that kind
of thing. I guess the saying you think it's leeches I think whatever's in
that video the leaches. But I think what's really interesting here is that they
look like they're arguing about something right before they go out. Yeah, they
do discord within the monsters. Wait during this has got something interesting? Organization?
If they all follow rules, there's band the people who ain't following the
rules. Well, if there are rules, you'd best be sure that she
was breaking a bunch of them. She's posting this stuff and you know,
plain sight. Yeah, they don't tend to do that, huh out themselves.
Yeah, but she is. She used to talk about revolution and how
everybody it's scary stuff to be honest about, how we should be accepting and
all lived together in harmony. Yeah, what if they are an entire society?
Do you mean like they have a leader? Have to be thousands of
them, millions? They're fucking monsters. They're going to organize like that?
I don't I don't know. Well, now, how many humans are there?
Yet, we're not the same. You can't compare us. I'm not
comparing us. I'm simply saying that monsters, monsters feed on humans. They
are in some cases born from humans. We have thrived here on this planet.
Who's to say they have not either. Yeah, fair enough, they
would have to have as many to create rules, to have bosses. A
society organize a revolution for whom five of them? A revolution means that,
oh my god, many are impacted. You're right, that's a lot of
leeches. That's a lot of leeches. That there's a lot. Although if
they're at fucking war with each other, that can be a little distracting.
Want play one faction against the other the factions? Slow down? What it's
Jack? Who? At this point you hear a thud from upstairs. Yah,
I've run. I've come out of there. You run upstairs, Jack
in your grandfather's study. He is austraight on the floor, books open,
scattered around him, and he is not moving. Rush over, shake him.
I think that is a very good place to end this week. What
was it the guy you sound fire said, this is not going to go
how you think it will. It went exactly I was listening to in the
vent laid out like I was imagining, like through that like you see in
the background he's one of those like disgusting subworkers in the back of his vox
or whatever it is, entirely entirely oblivious. What a fool. Oh yeah,
he's not even looking out for nothing. He's laying out, not doing
his job. So two days well, in episode one starters you mean to
go on? I think that was fascinating. Are progressing. There's some stuff
you discovered that I didn't think you would, and you know, you went
in a very interesting direction. I'm so glad you went to see your grandfather.
That was so much better than him just dying off screen. But God,
David, you don't know until next week, I'm afraid, but I
can tell you that everyone gets one skill point to spend. However, you
yea, And I hope you enjoyed a Hunter version of Leech. Yeah,
what a weird flip that we didn't actually since season one. We were planning
the whole episode one of season two. We were talking about it ages ago,
and then when did they release this book? So this is new earlier
this year? Yeah, it got very lucky. It's it's actually quite funny
because every year we're like, Okay, yeah, we'll just do this one,
and then we're like thinking of all the possibilities that you can accomplish in
the world of Leech, And I'm so glad you keep asking me back.
So good. It's Halloween is totally m hmm. Okay, Well everyone do
a shout out and then we'll see you next Saturday for the continuation of our
the final episode. Well, if it's two per episode, you've got like
at least two three episodes to go. Might make it? Maybe, won't
I have three? Time? We don't know. Yeah, I think it's
a miracle that we even staked a vampire. As soon as I found out
it was two weeks old, I was like, Oh, that's why,
that's why we got a baby back. Otherwise we wouldn't be dead numbers though,
right, I have a sort of general idea that it's very I was
scared that this was that the whole time I thought that was I was like,
who who is this is clearly someone who we love I know from the
other you know, like our other characters somewhere along the line, and I
was like racking my brain for like like side characters that we had met.
Yeah, I was like that guy from like what was the guy from last
year, the one that was Grimshaw was hiding in an apartment when we first
that wasn't no that his friend the guy that like helped us out. I
don't even know if he was he wasn't a mage, the maid'sfriend. After
the battle, you went to a mage's house. That the mage, Yeah,
it was Connie's friend. Who was there? Was he a mage?
Yeah? Constantine? Basically Jack Jack. He was entirely different Roman Emp,
thank you very much different Jack. And I was like trying to think of
all these like characters. I was like, okay, so like we saw
all these like side characters, most of them get wiped out there, right,
because I just thought sometimes, yeah, the there was only one name
drop today for a character you would know, so, yeah, it's other
than you did not discord. Yeah, the way you go, Pechy your
shout out first you were amazing, so good look just because I called you
good girl. I was thinking that before you did that. I don't know,
like the last time we even saw Peachy play like the insanely intelligent character.
It's I have a reason to write notes in character. It's great.
I don't know. I felt like I can't think of the last time I
saw you play the intelligent character in It's very difficult to play an intelligent so
I don't do it clearly not playing it this time, but that's I wanted
to. Yeah, Peach pixel A takes your TV po Peechy pixel A.
I do streams of stuff. Wow right, Oh, actually this is kind
of relevant. I also do a ghost hunting show on Thursdays. Yeah,
I say ghost hunting. We watch ghost videos and I say how fake they
are and how they did it. It's awesome. You should watch its.
Oh me, hello, ye Hi, I'm Irgoles. I played Diana for

myrgols. Thank you, PB. No, no, me, I'll do
it. I'll do it. It's me, Hi, It's Josh. It's
Jewish again. Hi. I just told PB to do something because I make
people panic sometimes very good at that. Hopefully we can do it lots more
as hunters. I'm very excited. I am get me FDL basically everywhere.
And if you are interested in more Vampire the Masquerade stuff, I'm currently doing

Masquerade now Hunter the Reckoning expert for all things Vampiricle, and I am not.
I don't stream or anything like that, so don't worry about me.
I've got no shows or anything going on, so I don't worry about any
of that. Every single episode of this season of Leech has a post credits
Marvel MCU scene that you might want to stick around for and to make sure
that you catch in the VODs and stuff if you don't watch shout outs,
so bear that in mind. And also if you've not seen any of the
previous seasons of Leech, this is our third season, but it's always new
characters in the same setting, usually a year on. So you can go
back and watch the playlists of the previous seasons of Leach on the YouTube or
in the collections on Twitch. So if you do want to go back and
watch the other seasons that do link to this during the week, then you
can do so and it won't spoil anything for this And this might spoil a
few things, but shouldn't massively impact and spoil the previous season, So you
can go and check out happy Surprises when you run into them. Sorry I
killed my voice doing that. Yeah yeah, yeah, have you been willing
the whole time? Full power either, So if you do want to watch
the other seasons, then you can find them on our channel. And that's
it. We'll be back next week. This is on now for the next
five Saturdays after this one, as our Halloween show continues. Leach three.
Wait what we used to do? The thing which we might not do anymore
because it's but it was a tradition for Leech that we would give somebody an
experience experience point based on and you just gave us all that instead. I
just gave it to you because you're amazing. Yeah, which is totally I'll
make sure we do it next time. For the record, I think the
fucking most interesting scene was Grandpa and Jack. Yes, that's what I was
going to do exactly. That was incredible. That's where the tea was at,
right, Yeah, that was really cool. So you get the experience
point. Well done, Thanks for meeting me. Well, it came down
to a bit more of a threat, wouldn't you say. I didn't mean
for it to come off like that. You just weren't answering me. Well,
what do you want, fate? Well, first of all, I
thought we were better friends than this. Are you doing Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm okay. I'm busy doing what keeping the mask up? Yeah,
that's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about. That USB
Connie gave you. Yeah you still have it. No, it's gone destroyed.
What happened to it? Like I said, it's gone, But that
was like everything Connie worked for. What happened? We decided that we can't
let it get out. Who's wait? I've been working with a woman who
what? Woman older than Connie? Okay, I've been doing something for myself
for once. Were you like in love with this bitch or something? No?
No, she's gonna help me get back to my family. You sure
she isn't just promising bullshit. I don't think she can even do it as
she tried. Okay, So you and this woman older than Connie decided to
destroy the USB, is what I'm hearing. Not quite. I decided to
do it myself. Fuck man, I I've made a promise that Connie's life.
Does it mean nothing now? Her sacrifice? Well, I made a
promise as well to a woman a long time ago, that i'd keep our
family safe. Fuck Graham Shaw, I can't stay around here too long.
My blood is gonna you know, I gotta do this in it. You
know this one's for me. I get that. I can see that.
You know you don't have to stay a fucking stranger. I care about you.
What have you been working on this? Working towards the path? Listen?
I doubt you need it, since apparently you're fully taken care of by
some woman. But do you ever need anything, you know, I'll do
my best. Yeah. I appreciate that faith, but I'm better off on
my own for now. Maybe later, when this is a closer to the
end, you can work on. Help him with Connie's wish. I gotta
go, I wish you the best. Get home to them. Can I
know this lie goes win. I stamp without stem s.
