M hm hm. Welcome everybody. Welcome to Table Stories Facade. Welcome.
On the last episode of Facade, we had a lot of interesting things happen.
Professor Charles went to the library and normally it doesn't seem that interesting.
However, his library experience was a bit different. They went to the NYU
Library and did some research on an organization known as Elysium within and the strange
creatures that he saw in a dream. He found out that they were known
as as ghouls, and they were in a place known as Metropolis. And
I know what you're thinking, not from Superman, quite a bit different.
He learned this from a book called Visions by a former celebrity that kind of
dropped off the map I think we named Peter Robertson. And he decided that
he was going to steal the book, and being in a library, they
put magnetic tags inside the books. He tried to get out the tag but
was unsuccessful, made a few copies of some of the pages and decided that
he would cause a distraction to try and well steal the book. That way
didn't go so well. He knocked over a bookcase and was caught on camera.
Tried to convince a guard that somebody knocked it over and hurt him and
stole the book and they should go chase after him. The guards covered the
exits and they decided to review the tape. I should say video tape is
a little outdated, just a little bit, and when they went to review
the video, they just saw him pushing over a bookcase. But somehow he
convinced the guards that he uh well, that they just they missed it.
Somehow the cameras didn't catch the person that did this, and he just walked
straight out of the library. Doctor Copeland made some deals with Hoffman in the
warped stone hallway, and I guess tried her best to get herself healed up.
She did so, although in a very painful way, as Hoffman basically
burned her wounds closed, did a little impromptu cauterization with a cigar, and
uh Hoffman wanted to know about the ritual that she performed. He was able
to stick his fingers right into her head and learn this information. So we
had a bit of a recall there from doctor Copeland about the ritual and the
horrific things that she'd done, and the fact that a heart that was still
that was involved in the ritual and was still beating. At the same time
that that was going on, Remy and Quinn were trying to figure out their
next move after leaving Genesis Curios and Oddities. Genesis had mentioned that there might
be someone that can remove the mark on Quinn's hand, indicating Hoffmann. They
looked for their business cards and Remy had his handy. However, when they
looked at the business cards, they all saw different things Remy, Quinn,
and Detective Devanche. Remy saw that investments are my business, Quinn saw time
is my business, and Detective Devange saw nothing on the business cards. It
reached out to a phone number that was not there before. When they looked
at the cards again, it was Quinn called up mister Hoffman on Remy's phone
about removing the mark, and he said that he would contact his employer and
get back to them with a price. We start today with Quinn and Remy.
Just gotten off the phone with Hoffman, and I believe you were trying
to figure out your next move. Do you I think we're going to go
to sleep. We're going to go to sleep yet at size if he'll have
us, really's rest Okay, so we're going to start then with you all
arriving at size place. Okay, what does it look like in here?
I don't know if I've ever actually been in his apartment. Why don't you
tell me what you think it would look like. Oh, I was your
character that you created, I'd love to hear with. Yeah, I actually
I think that it's sparse. There's lots of takeout containers. He doesn't eat
very well, he's always working, and his couch looks like he's maybe never
never used it. It's like a nice leather couch. He probably, you
know, put some thought into buying it. But yeah, okay, it's
the carpenter er. Is it a hardwood floor carpet? Yeah, so it
kind of walks in, tosses his coat, says make yourselves at home.
Let me just runs or walks over to towards the couch and then just collapses
on the floor and just like sprawls out looking upwards. Ah, oh my
god, I haven't laid down. I haven't laid down, and I don't
even know how long it's been a long time. Such a comfortable carpets.
Do you wanna do you wanna lay down on the couch. Oh, this
is fine. No, this is this, this is you're great, this
is awesome. I'm okay, thank thank you though, No, it's early,
but figure we had a rough day already. Yeah. No, no,
I'm good, thank you though. Maybe do you have any t decaf
anything? There's some coffee? You gotta start a pot though, okay,
sure, Actually, you know what, I got some of that instant stuff
if you just want to make a call. Uh, I'm you know what,
I'm actually good. It might it might give me up, but I'll
happily put a pot on if anybody else wants them. Oh, detective,
do you have any coke? A cola, Coca cola? Nah, that
that has caffeine in it? You know what, I think? I'm good
now, just have a water if you have any water please, all right,
I'll get us a glass of water. Si, it's okay if you
don't mind, Yeah, go for it. You know where it is,
all right, I'm gonna I'm gonna hit the Hey, yeah, sweet dreams.
Thank you for your help. By the way, Yeah, anytime.
Right? Where does he keep the glasses? Right right right, closes the
door to his bedroom. No, that's the dishes, probably in the cabinet.
Q maybe I think about yeah, Uh, Remy hasn't even seen the
kitchen at all. He's just saying, yeah, probably above the stove.
That's usually where people put their cabinets and stuff. Why the hell would he
put them here? I found him. Oh that's anything in the fridge.
I feel like there's probably a mish mash of glasses. It's mostly like like
it's probably just like two coffee mugs and like a couple of glasses that don't
match. Yeah, maybe like a Scotch glass. I opened the fridge to
look and see, and there's probably not really probably like yeah, yeah,
there's probably nothing in here. He probably just eats take out almost exclusively.
Any like filtered water or anything. Or am I getting tap? I think
we're probably getting tap, unless there's bottles of bottled water. But he doesn't
strike me as that kind of guy, so I guess we're getting tap.
All right, tap, let's get it. And I'm sorry, did you
say you wanted ice? Rim? Uh? Yeah, if he has ice,
that'll be great. Yeah, some ice. I'm just like zoning out
a little bit, you know, cracking the ice, putting ice in and
getting the water and then I come back in. Did you want to sit
on the couch? Sits chair over here? This is a lazy boy,
probably flips back, so I'll just take that. If that's cool, You
can have the couch, sure, yeah, just give me one sec o.
This is so nice. Oh and then Remy closes his eyes for like
five seconds and starts to drift, and then he wakes up real quick,
and then he sits up and then kind of just pushes himself up off the
ground onto the couch to sit, like he doesn't even fully get up.
You okay, Oh cute. I'm just I'm just so exhausted, it's yeah,
are you okay? I mean you uh, I mean looked pretty shook
when you got off the phone. Well yeah, I mean I guess we
just better make sure that the phone's on loud. Is that a mode loud?
Oh? Yeah, it's my phone, right, yeah, actually make
sure it's on loud. And just wait, I guess I'm actually getting kind
of low on battery. And do you think your detective friend might have a
charger? Fuck? Probably if I saw him using the similar phone, I
don't mean to bother him again, do you. I mean, I guess
he's already pissed at me, so I might as well continue. Huh Yeah,
I mean I could go knock on the door. Maybe I'll do it.
Don't worry about it. I got this, okay. So I don't
know if he has one though, just I mean looking around, he doesn't
seem too much of a tech guy. But okay, it would be like
your basic. I don't know if the USBC is more standard now, but
you know whatever, like an Android phone would be well, probably the department
gives them Androids and not iPhone, so maybe you get lucky. So let
me just like gets up slowly and then like walks over to the door,
at least that one that SI had closed. And then he's just like,
yo, detect detective, Yo detective, my phone, My phone is getting
kind of low. And I was just wondering if you had a charger,
and he puts up his phone, you know, like your USB C charge.
No, you can try my charger, it's over there. I don't
any of those kind of fancy phones that you have. I just have a
flip phone. Oh he has a flip phone too. What is it you?
Your department needs to get a raise or something, some kind of funding
all right, so can I look, Oh, nothing wrong with the flip
phone. You know, Simplicity sometimes is just all that you need to get
the job done. It's just so much more. It's almost like the last
thing I use my phone to do anything with is uh actually do make phone
calls nowadays at least. Well, you can try the charger, all right.
I'll look at it, and it doesn't worry. It's like it's like
it's a flip phone one. It's like the l with the with a circle
adapter on it. It's not even close to USB s all right, look
at Nokia like, you know, the USB like one of those special ones
with the prongs. Yeah, for the even worse. Yeah, I remember
mine. All right, all right, well, I mean it should be
all right. I think I still I got like fifteen percent. So I'll
just exit out of some of these apps and yeah, maybe Instagram. I
gotta turn my Instagram off because I don't Yeah, maybe exit out all that
and just we'll just wait, you know. Yeah, I think we should
be all right. Yeah, thanks detective, Sorry, thank you so much
for letting us crash here. I really do appreciate it. Yeah, no
problem, all right, I'm gonna pass out now. Yeah, yeah,
I promise I'll only knock if I have something really really important. Yeah,
just all right, and Remy's just like smiling, just like this, just
closes the door, just close the door. Just hear him like flop onto
the bed. The REMYO go back to the couch and it's like exits outed
like most of the apps puts it on battery saving mode, so for the
most part, like the data was probably going to be off for the most
part, but like he can still receive calls if there's a setting that I
can do for that. I sit down on the lazy boy and I probably
grab like a blanket and cover myself a little bit and then rest my head
back and close my eyes try to sleep. Oh yeah. So before all
of this, man, it was things were just so fine, you know,
I mean, knowhing' great. But he definitely went hadn't gone to ship.
Uh, I'm even dealing with this as a whole queue, Like what
the hell have you got ourselves into? I don't know, man, shit's
been weird for me for a while. I've just been waiting to figure it
out that crazy chick still has my cat man, what was I thinking,
oh my god, we midnight will probably hop up into your lap by the
way. Oh okay, yeah then yeah, I'm just pet midnight. I
still gotta feed sushi. I haven't fed sushi today either. Oh, it's
okay, we'll make a stop, all right. Oh, as far as
what mister Hoffman had to talk to you about, are you Are you gonna
make a deal with them? I mean, I know that that mark on
your hand is. I know it hurts sometimes and it's really weird. I
don't know what it means, but nobody seems to be reacting too well to
it. No, it doesn't look good. I don't look good at all.
But I'm telling you that guy's bad news. If there's any way that
he can figure it out without you signing anything, que I would really recommend
to try to push him to at least fix it without having you sign anything.
Nothing comes for free, as they made it so perfectly clear, like,
but Remy just gulps, and it's just like, I know, I
know, well, I'm pretty dir I'm really like Remy's just talking. Actually,
it's queue with his eyes closed this whole time. His eyes aren't even
open the whole time. He's just kind of joining on and it's I can
tomorrow, you know, we'll go feed sushi and get this mark off your
Remy h Remby just passes out. Uh. I will get up and put
a blanket on Remy, kind of make sure he's got like a pillow and
whatnots moving like, hey, then I've very low semi blanket right here.
Here we go. Thank you. It's like a dish towel. It is
problem. Then I I probably put his glass of water that he's probably already
had most of. I probably picked that up and put mine that I I
hadn't had any water from there for him. Then I will walk into the
kitchen put the glass in the sink, pretty lost in thought, and then
I will go back to the chair to try to sleep. Okay, lay
down in the chair. Yeah, Midnight would have hopped back up in your
lap. Yeah, pet and midnight. Maybe I'll even talk to Midnight.
I don't know how I'm supposed to say this. It's super weird, but
I gotta tell him because every day that goes by and I don't tell him,
it's like a betrayal. I'll try tomorrow. You start to uh nod
off when m hm, remy, you've nodded off. When you fall asleep,
it happens rather quickly when you're exhausted, and you just feel completely physically
exhausted and mentally exhausted. That kind of sleep, it's deep and it is
unfortunately not a pleasant experience. Each of you begins to feel a a strong
feeling of stress and panic as you start to hear the voice of doctor Copeland.
H Doctor Copeland? Hello, Hello, ah? Can you hear me?
What the fuck? Can I down to hear me? Hello? Ada?
Hello? What's going on? Can I hear Q's voice during this?
Or is it just us hearing doc? Separately? You can hear doctor Copland's
Doctor Copland separately? Okay o DoD doc? Kah yo? What's what's going
on? Where? Can you? Can you hear me? Dog? Hello?
Well? Dog? Helloa? Can she? Where are you? I?
I I'm so sorry? Sorry, sorry about the place? EVO?
I already finished? Sorry? Dog? Is hearing doc? Can you would
like to make a move? What move would you like to make? Uh?
I don't know if she's speaking to me or someone else, So I'd
like to read a person or observe a situation. I think this is read
a person. H oh shit, I should have added a plus one for
that. We have a relationship together. Okay, so it's a twelve.
It wouldn't have made a difference in this case. You can ask one question
from me. List there, weld On, I have to navigate. I'm
so sorry. One second, I haven't all memory memorized yet. Eat a
person. What are you doing or about to do? I? Uh I,
I just just saw someone who who helped me. Yeah, he helped
me fix my fix my body a little bit. I got I got hurt.
That's all I need to find them. I need to find my book.
As you're talking to Quinn, and as you're talking to each other,
you can start to see each other. Can you can you tell me where
my book is? Please talk? I can hear the responses, but I
can't hear what she's responding to. Correct or is it two separate? At
first? No, but you begin to hear Quinn, Oh, I lost
it and I need it. Why what's in it? I don't know?
I have to have it. Wait, what do you mean you don't know?
Ada, I watched you go through it and use it in some sort
of rituals you want. It's so bad. I needed Do you know where

looks at Q and then looks back at Doc and doesn't say anything. But
Aida, Aida, what is the scenery that starts to form around you?
Uh? It's dark, and uh there's a there's a door in front of
me, and I just need to know where to go. There's a door.
Are you back at that? That that weird? Yeah, hall Way,

And I need the book. Why do you have it? Why you have
it? Do you? No? No? Are you? We don't know

to you and i'll tell you. I'll give you all the answers you want.
No, you said that last time. Mm hmm. You tell me
now why you need this book? Her Remy's just like wide eyed right now,
just like something something very bad is going to happen to what someone I
don't know who, but something terrible is going to happen. I need that
book so I can help direct it direct what we're in this now, Ada,
Just tell us the truth. Okay, Okay, we got we got
you back, eight doc. We always got you back. We always have.
Look, I this is I don't know who's listening or anything. So
just if you just tell me where you are, I can come to you
and we can patch the whole thing out. Okay, how about we meet
somewhere instead? Sure, sure, that's fine. Of course there's a pole
place on Madison. Yeah, yeah, they got the best be brisket.
Uh, what's the address? What's the trustee of the address. Where is
it down Madison? You said, yeah, okay, fine, but if
people aren't listening, they know we're going to be there, right, just
just be there in two hours. Okay, we'll see you there. Yeah,
okay, let's see you there. Mm hmm. This is a dream,
is what? Uh the the fuck is that? Is that my alarm?
Am I waking up? Now? Is that the phone? As you
think that both of you wake up at the same Oh fuck? What the
fuck? Yo? Oh my god? The craziest dream my phone? Is
it? Actually because it would be either in my pocket or on the table
where the glass of water would be. The phone is not ringing. Okay,
you can see that, Uh, Midnight is actually staring right into your
eyes. Quinn, Okay, I'm okay, buddy, I'm okay, I'm
okay. You can see that Midnight's hackles are kind of raised, and it's
Midnight's eyes are the people's are dilated, like all the way they're gonna leap
at me and attack my face like they see a toy they want or what
like the cat body language. Yeah, like they are ready to sort of
jump or they're in basically in panic mode. Oh can I can I pet
the cat? Can I pet midnight? Or is it too scared? I'm
assuming they're frightened because I woke up with a start, my cat. I
can see that. If I wake up with a start, they fucking bolt
and run away. You can see that, like as you reach for midnight,
the cat just jumps. Okay, okay, okay, it's okay,
buddy, you're okay, You're okay, We're all okay, okay, shut
out, kitty Katy. It's oh wait, yo, cue, I had
a dream and and you were in it. Uh, doc was in it,
and and and and and it felt it felt so real. I don't
think it was almost like, no, no, what the fuck was that?
Then? I don't know. I think it's just part of our fucking
new life. I guess, Oh, this is how this is the new
normal. Huh. It's just what weirds me out about that though? What
does she need the fucking book for? That's what I'm wanting. How did
she know that we might have it? Does she know that we might have
it? I don't know. Maybe since it might have been the last people
there, she's just kind of getting suspicious. Maybe, but there's no way
she saw you take that book. Q uh No, I know that,
I know that, but I'm just I'm just, you know, I'm trying
to think of like, you know what, and why would she need it?
I mean, when I walked in on y'all, y'all we're doing some
rituals, maybe did you old to talk about that? I'm I'm she pulled
out the book and it was like all weird. And also, you know,
Jen reacted weird. Gene has reacted strangely to the book. I think
there's something really fucked up about that book and we need to be very careful
with it. You know. I don't know if it's like, you know,
supernatural drugs or something, and Aid is addicted to it. I don't
want to just immediately give it back to her. I don't know if it's
actually going to help her. He needs it. I mean, do you
see the look on her face when I was like, I don't have it?
She looked like she was gonna rip my throat open door open? Uh,
doctor Devant or a detective Devonte's bedroom? Sorry, sy yeah, dream
no. How long have we been sleep before? Well it's fucking dark now,
so it's about about five fifteen. Holy shit, oh my god,
oh man, I needed that. Yeah, I mean too. Oh geez,
though you hear back from your No, not yet whatever his name was.
No, no, he didn't call us, man, And my phone
is getting lower and lower, So I need to find a charger at some
point. There's probably a corner store around the corner. I bet I bet
get some food. I got my shifts starting assuming Yeah, yeah, of
course, yeah, of course, of course. Detective, your heart,
your hard worker, you gotta get that, get that Detective of the Month
award, right, that's that's the goal. You got it, man,
you're already, You're already on the way, right. Sorry, we uh,
what if we met someone in a dream? Hold on, yeah,
what do you mean you mentioned someone in the dream? Like? What if
we were dreaming and both Remy and I were there and we both go anywhere?
No, no, we would have the whole time. No no,
no, no, in the dream? Did you go anywhere? No?
We were just standing. And then then Ada Copeland was there asking for her
fucking book, and she kept asking where we were, and I wouldn't tell
her. Don't worry, so I didn't tell her. She don't know where
you live, man, We wouldn't snitch like that she's a dream walker?
What does that mean? You say it so so casually, nonbulous. And
I haven't come across it, but there's been a few people that I've talked
to in the past that have, well they said that they that there are
there are people that are able to travel through dreams, through dreams. I've
seen it in like movies. Yeah. Yeah, well it's a real thing.
It's a real thing as far as I know. I, Like I
said, it's it's one of those things that that floats around the circles that
I've that I've been in. Uh do you have to do anything weird to
do it? Or do you I don't know a ton about it, but
I think it involves uh, you know some uh it's kind of like a
you know, indigenous people kind of thing, you know, like a I
don't know, they have some kind of ritual or they have some kind of
drugs that they do. All right, wow, I wonder. Okay,
Well listen, so I uh, we we gotta we gotta go meet this
person. You wait, doctor Copeland. Yeah, I mean, is that
stupid? That's probably pretty stupid. We're not bringing the book, don't worry.
Well, there's a few things wrong with that. Number one, doctor
Copeland is currently wanted. Yeah what She also wouldn't tell me things because she
was worried people. But then also what we picked a location to meet for
Cochland is currently not out of an investigation. In your deposigation on what is
it ritualistic killing? SI, tell me it's not ritualistic bullshit? No,
I can't because she had forgot it intestines. She had intestines in her fucking
jobs. I can't how the job works, but this is different. Heart.
There's no way the NYPD has ship sorted for handling with ritualistic bullshit teleportation.
What do you think I do? Yeah, it's what do you think
I do? Wait? What what do you think I do? I don't
know. It's thought you like solved murders and shit. But look, when
you're not an idiot, what do you think I do? She's not an
idiot. I thought you dabbled in this ship. I didn't think you were
deep in it. I mean, quaynon, there's a lot more out there
and we don't know anything. Do you know what happened to me? No?
And it's not for a lack of trying either remembies just looking back and
forth every time like one of them speaks, like well, Q will say
something and then he looks like you, and then Detective will say something and
then he just looks at him like back and forth. Look, I look
in at things that Are you a ghostbuster? I'd sake, Oh I'm not
a ghostbuster. It's pretty fucking good. Sorry, all right, get it,
get it out of your system all the other Who are you gonna call?
Sigh? Ghostbuster? Yeah, yo, man, that's you know you're
gonna get that award man perspective for the year, right there. Man,
you're done upgrading from Detective dicheading my eyes sigh, oh feeling. I investigate
things that are mostly unexplainable for the NMPD. I usually end up not doing
too much because as soon as things get well, they get too weird.
We make calls up the food chain, and well things get passed off.
So who is there another group? Is there some kind of organization that handles
this specifically? Or is this classified information? Perhaps I've dealt with all different
kinds of people and I have no idea where it goes. Have you dealt
with an agent Molder? And Scully. I'm sorry, should be taking this
seriously with ship Man. I thought this was like yoursion, that's funny,
cute, that's what it's what all the others, all the other guys do.
You're done? Yeah, I'm done? Sorry, sorry, Yeah,
anyway, you're gonna call them coats past h Okay. I've I've run into
some things, you know, along the way that I couldn't explain. I
met some people that helped me out with some things, and uh, I
usually write a yeah, Genesis is one of them. I usually write up
a report and it gets filed and nothing ever gets done, at least that
we know about. Well, if you leave it to Q, one of
the best investigators I know, and you can maybe you know any infant that
you have, because I feel like this doc, yeah, she might be.
She might be a little bit, uh, a little bit more and
more scarier than I initially thought. You know, it's I've met some weird
people myself. This. I think I told you her name Green. You
know, I got some weird vibes from her, but she didn't seem like
she was malicious by any means. But she definitely had some kind of strange
aura to her. Yeah, all right, Well, do me a favor
if you see her again, take a picture with that camera or something.
Oh you bet, I will, man, I can't believe I forgot you
that other time. Wait, don't you have one, Remy? Oh she
took one of herself. Actually, I might hold on and Remy's like scrolling
all the way back on his camera because I think it was one of the
first pictures that were taken. I mean, last time I tried to show
it, it wasn't there. But let's see if it's here. So I'm
gonna look for that picture again and see. I would like you to make
a roll, please, all right, I would like you to rule your
disadvantage for me, please, yeah? Ten? Okay, pictures there?
Okay? Yeah? Oh yeah yeah. Let me just takes a moment because
he's just like, what a that's what a woman detective? Yeah? Here
here she is right right here, that screen with the soild and eat right
here. When you look at her, yeah, she begins to be all
you can think about. Oh wow, you didn't realize how beautiful she was
before? Like, wow, jeez, you're gonna show me the picture there?
Yeah? What the fucking oh? Man? I can't believe told me
not to sign sign anything, but I would sign marriage documents any day.
Oh for gorgeous. We'll reach over and grab it from him. Hey,
I was come on, I got a ship for a tight schedule. Here
you go. Yeah, yeah, okay, I was gonna show it to
you. Come on, I was just finding it. God damn the funck
was that? Yeah? So he kind of hold he takes the camera.
Who did you say this was? She goes by the name of Green with
a silent e. She likes silent letters. This isn't that fascinating? Silent
letters? That's like ide starts like complex. I started looking kind of shocked.
When he looks at the camera, he takes a step backwards and falls
onto the sofa. WHOA, siy, are you all right? She's I
told you right? She's beautiful? Right, okay? Like how hot could
she be? Let me see it? How do you? How do you
know her? How do you how do you know her? Whoa, oh,
well, yah, you don't look so hot. But she's supposed to
be getting camera back, she's supposed to be dead. How do you know
her? No? No, no, man, uh nah. Last night
we were she was hanging out with a bunch of homeless people around the fire,
right outside of that bar that I left. What what do you mean
she's like outside of a bar. She has a hat on her or something,
and you saw her outside of a bar. Yeah, she was hanging
out with the homeless people and she hold on sy how do you know her?
This is crazy? Are you all right? Do you need some water?
Man? You are horrible. I'll get you some water. I'll get
you some Watermmy, you tell him everything you know about this lady? All
right? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, sit up, bro, you're good,
You're good. And then she's supposed to be she's supposed to be dead.
Yeah, what do you mean by that? Like like I handled the
case myself. She's supposed to be dead. And she was shot. She
was she was shot and she was stabbed, stabbed. Such a beautiful creation
though she was what are you wait a minute? When how long ago was
this? Detective man? This is hold the phone. This is because this
was this last night that we saw her. You know this ain't how long
ago? How long ago was the case? Detective man? Here you go,
here, you go, sorry, just have some water, okay?
Ye? When I first joined I'm a shy mm hmm twenty years ago.
Sorry, I hate to ask this, but are you sure it's the same
person? Just like, yeah, there's no, there's no possible. It's
not like a relative or somebody who just looks similar. It's the same smile
and everything. Oh, I mean needs like a time to just like process
like what he's actually saying. And do you, by chance have the file
here or is that a staid office or I need to see this first file?
First case homicide, m it was murdered in and Ali it was shot?
What Ali? You shot? There? Was? She was? Oh
my, I have to keep it together, detective Man, because I'm freaking
out too. She was She was a regular at the yuh at the bar
uh which bar? Really? She always she always liked to talked all the
homeless guys outside. Oh my god, mhm, fuck, wait a minute,
don't tell me she drank with all the cops and was it? And
I named the bar that I was at, but the one that I stumbled
out, I don't recall if he gave it a name, but I'm gonna
mention the name of that bar and say, like, was it Let's say
the Whiskey Barrel was it? Was it the Whiskey Barrel No, No God
Bar, a bar near mid town. Mhm, Yeah, she would,
she would. She was like the light of the party. She'd always drink
with the with everybody, you know, She'd she'd kind of move around the
bar, and she'd always chat with people around the bar. She'd listen to
them, listen to their problems. She'd even talk to the homeless people outside.
And we could tell she was on something, you know, but she
was always so nice and she never hurt anybody. So a couple of the
guys tried to help her, but she'd kind of laugh it off, you
know. Yeah. Did she ever get into any kind of trouble though?
Like I know, sometimes the nicest ones are the ones that have the most
to hide, you know, if she got caught up in anything or perhaps
uh, I don't know, angry boyfriend, I hope she didn't. Did
you ever find out who did it? He's looking at the picture and either
of you can try and read a person, Yeah, I will you what
mine is? I'll try as well. At the same time, it's fourteen,
fre Quinn can ask me one question, what do you wish I would
do? What can I do say, just leave me alone. Okay,
we'll get out of your hair. I don't think you know him well enough
to really read him. Remy, Okay, I'm just like but squinting at
him, tilt my head sideways a little bit, just like he sort of
looks at you. I'm fine, leave me alone, and he just kind
of he gets up, kind of tosses you back the camera. I gotta
get back to my shift. Uh but is it? Is it okay with
you if we just hang here for a bit, if we if we don't
go see crazy Copeland? Just lock up, just lock up when you leave,
and he actually just kind of like walks out and closes the door as
you fuck. Okay, all right, so we got some ship to look
up. We're gonna switches now ship, doctor Copeland. When you take a
breath, you sort of come to mister Hoffman's not there, and you are
in a different place. Where would you like to be? My office?
No, my home? I need to change a clothes. You splash water
on your face as if you had just woken up and gone to the bathroom
to wash your face. What do you usually wear to sleep? Uh?
Nothing? And that's what you're wearing now, splash water on your face.
Look at yourself in the mirror. What do you say? Uh? I
see myself. I feel a little bit younger, a little bit happier,
a little more put together. Not quite as Harriet, afraid, happier.
There's a a cat that is on the probably like on the sink, sort
of staring at you. It's a black cat. Oh. Hello, there,
it's looking at you, staring, and it does the thing where it
starts to like walk over towards you and bash its head against your hand,
looking for attention. Okay, who are you? Can I look for a
collar? Mm? Yes, there is a there is a tag there.
What is your name? What is the name on the color? Yeah?
One a second? Mm hmm the name on the collar, says Aida.
Huh. Well, I guess your mind now, aren't you? I?
Uh reached down and Scooper just hold her against my chest. What a wonderful
coincident. Can I check the date? I have a calendar, an actual
calendar, an actual calendar with a pencil near it. Okay, is it
today's date or is it someplace in the past. When was the last time
you were happy? It would have been about five years ago, right before
a conference, was going to give a talk, actually prepared a speech.
That is the day. Huh, I uh, bring the cat with me
over to the mirror, and I am well. I try to run through
run through my notes a little bit. I had a couple of words prepared
for function. Would you like to hear my little speech? Ada. Psychologists
rarely get to ask the big questions. In any scientific field, we have
all kinds of great techniques and systems in place for answering the small questions.
But in psychology we are rarely given the opportunity and are never bothered to ask
the big questions. In my professional opinion, it is high time we asked
those big questions about the nature of human cruelty. Human beings like to imagine
a fine line between good and and evil, and we love to believe that
that line is impermeable. We are good on this side, and they are
bad on that side. The bad kinds, the bad women, they're over
there, and the bad people will never become good and the good will never
become bad. I'll say it today that that notion is completely and utterly false,
because, as it turns out, that line is permeable, because sometimes,
just like with the cells of human biology itself, material can flow in
and material can flow out, and if it does, then it could allow
some ordinary people, such as yourselves, to become perpetrators of the darkest kinds
of human cruelty. How is that? Do you like that? Oh?
My heart, Ada is sort of looking at you. Then kind of like
turns away and uh starts to walk off, obviously finding something more interesting.
As cats do, they find some random thing to occupy their time. Sure,
well, it's morning, right, so I should uh take my pills
and get ready for the day. I go into the bathroom, I find
my pills. I have a little pill box. I banage all my doses.
It's all very proper, and I uh take a little glass that I
keep by the bathroom sick to fill it up with some tapwater, so that
delicious tap water, and take my pills. Take another look in the mirror
and give myself a little once sowhere. Then I head over to my closet
and they got it up. I get dressed and wearing like a professional,
not too proper, but you know dress, and I decided to put some
tights on. And I'm a little bit nervous about the conference, so I
want to make a good impression. There might be I don't know, people
want to invest in it there, so I need to make sure that you
know, they see a confident and knowledgeable person. When you check the mirror
as you are, you know, finishing up, you can see that your
appearance returns the way that it was. Oh, the apartment, it's a
little bit more messy behind you, right right, right, right right,
Okay. I need I need a few things I need. Ah, I
need my backup notes I had. I had just some notes. They're not
what's in the book, and I only had one copy of that. But
there are some incriminating documents. I just need to keep them with me.
Names, places of everything related to research chemical six two way. It all
fits in a neat notebook. And I need that. I I need a
change of clothes. Something that isn't necessarily ah, that isn't necessarily covered blood.
Just something anything I can I can just throw on really quick. And
uh, I need to feed my bird. Gladys is sort of hopping about
a bit nervous. She's still in a cage, yes, but the cage
door is open. Oh okay, had she gotten into anything. She started
a nest. No, okay, still in the cage. Good, but
you can see that the area around the like where you close the cage,
it's covered and dripping in blood. Oh god, Gladys. As you approach
the cage, you begin to hear it. It's getting louder. Hear what
you know what, Gladys lemme is here, Gladys. As you approach the
cage, Gladys flies out lies past her. Good girl, good girl.
Do I have everything that I came here for? My note booking and clink
clothes? Yes? Okay, do you approach the cage? I uh,
I uh I need I need a baggy. I need a ziploc bag.
I have plenty. I uh walk over to my kitchen and get several ziplock
backs, you know, like the sandwich bags. They seal, double seal,
and uh, I turn it inside up, fit it over my hand.
Okay, I am. While I'm in the kitchen, I grab a
small knife, like a like a steak knife, and I keep that with
me. I walked back over the Gladyses cage. It's a big cage,
just a big and I take the inside out ziplock bag with my hand in
it and just rach in And when you start to reach into the cage mh.
On the wall, you can see furrows begin to dig, scraping into
the paint in the wood. And as this happens, you start to see
rats begin to pour out of the walls, spilling out onto the ground.
They're climbing all over your feet and all over the furniture, seemingly never ending.
That's New York for you. You reach into the cage, do I
find what I'm looking for? You take a deep breath, and we switched
scenes. Professor Charles, where did you go after the library? I think
I would have just walked as far as possible, and I mingled in with
the nearest passes by in the crowd, sort of a ninety degree right turn
out of the library down the street, trying to get as unnoticeable as possible,
as fast as possible. And I think, as I'm walking kind of
hastily shoving the book and it's already in my statuels, I think, I
just I'm very aware that it's there. And I get down the street,
turn off a couple of times, and then I pause, just down a
little side street, and I think particularly out of the way. Just rest
my back up against the side of the building. Jesus Anthony, I just
feel all that adrenaline that came from what I did in the library. Just
leave me. And then I reach into my pocket or I probably still still
got it in my hand from where I left the library, and pull out
my phone and with my other hand reach into my jacket and see if I've
still got the business card I was handed in the club with Max. Oh,
yeah, you definitely still have that. Sure, and if I remember
rightly, my other card I was given because protection is my business. Mm
hmmm, make confirm. I think that is correct. Where did it go?
That's not the right file? I think at this point as well,
I'm staying I still have. So I've still got my back to the wall,
almost the kind of like almost odd squat somebody does and they're studying themselves.
And I very slowly dial the number. The phone begins to ring.
What am I doing? What am I doing? Hello? Who might this
be? Mm hmm, this is a This is Professor Charles? Is it
now? That's good to know? What can I do for you? Professor
Charles? A H I think I need your kay? I think I might
I need all services? Do you now? Good? Good? Looking forward
to our bargain? I satimes that how this works? Do you have a
just a rate? You could say that this is well a different way for
anyone in one of my bonds. Right, but you can help. I
just I just need protection from from whom or what? Don't I don't know,
but I I'm involved in something and I I just don't. I just
don't know. Mm. Perhaps we could meet someone? Yes, fine,
I'm I'm just near. Do you know the university library? Ah? Thanks
of employment? I can work. I work at the university. Yes,
yes, yes, I'm not far from the library. I I don't know
if that's any good to you? Or should I come to you? Or
no? I will meet you somewhere. Is there a place that you prefer?
Yes? Do you know Raymondson's. It's it's a deli not far from
from the university campus. Excellent bagels there. I like the onion cream cheese
myself. I'm sorry, I don't know. Do I need to buy you
one? Is? This? Is that? How you know? I'll reach
you there in fifteen minutes? Right, okay, I'll see you soon,
professor, Thank you? Oh goodbye. An interesting choice, Anthony, not
now, Not now, I'm not good for you. I'm sorry. I
don't want to intrude intrusion to you with your own thoughts. I'm what you
want. You're just going to do what you want anyway. I'm I've just
potentially told my entire career apart, potentially on the basis of some someone whim,
some whim some desire. You have me. He's chasing for no reason?
Do I You could just leave me alone? Can't you make your own
desci decisions? Anthony? I did that. I was perfectly happy. I
had my job, I was fine. I didn't decide to get involved in
this. You appeared you didn't decide to get involved in there? Are you
sure about that? I thought I decided to get involved in this. There's
people in my apartment that the dreams you they are madman, must but choose
this? What kind of a madman would choose this? Are you mad?
Anthony? I'm certainly starting to question it, yesh smack. There's things I
saw there, that's the documented there. It's not it's not just a dream.
It's not just I've been They've been seen before. I please world,
disadvantage for me. M five, Really, Amphony, your dreams are they?
Are you sure about that? Why are they? Why am I remembering
things that never happened. When you close your eyes to sort of collect yourself,
you open them and you see mirrors all about you. No, no,
what's the matter, Anthony? Can't you remember? Maybe? I don't.
I don't want to watch whatever you're getting to show me. I don't
want to watch. I think you'll want to see this. This is this
can't be real? But what And that's a good place for us to take
our break? Oh damn? Oh boy? Whoa, oh boy, let's
get weird, which I'm happy about because Professor Charles doesn't need to pay,
but Jay Britten really needs to pay, really has to do it. Please
make sure that you follow all of these lovely people. They're fantastic people and
role players. Go click their links, go follow them on all the places.

in just a little bit. So hopefully you'll stick with us and check out
the rest of the show. We'll be back in just a little while.
Hang tight for more Table Stories Facade, Welcome back. Everybody to Table Story
is Facade. You return as Professor Charles sees mirrors and things all about him.
Well, Anthony, you'll want to see this. Why did you show
me these things? Because I think it's important for you to understand who you
really are. You can see that your reflection is angled in a way in
each of the mirrors that you can sort of just see yourself a little bit.
In each of the mirrors that you can see up to your periphery.
There are a total of five mirrors. Can I see anything other than these
mirrors around me? You can see that your expression is different in each one.
There's one that shows you crying, and there's one that shows you with
a rather scary looking smile. There's one that shows you impassive. There's one
that shows you laughing, and there's one that shows you angry. Which do
you focus on? I think my attention would be drawn to the one in
which I'm laughing, and I think I'd take a step forward with an eye
on all mirrors as I stepped to see to try and sort of catch the
reaction in all of them. But my main focus is on the one of
me laughing, because it seems it's the one I recognized the least. I'm
unsurprised, unsurprised by what I I'm not surprised in your choice. Apparently you
know everything that is none of these of me. But with this I don't.
That's I've never surely you can remember, hm. And as the voice
begins to fade, you focus in on the mirror. And what does your
sister Liz's house look like. It's a pretty it's nothing elaborate, but it's
very middle class English. So from on the road, just a simple driveway,
a simple front front garden, down garage in front of the driveway,
porch, red brick, slate, roof tiles, chimney, there's a it's
a tall tree in the front garden. Most of it out of the road
is edged with hedges. There's one tall tree in the corner of the front
garden that has makeshift swing hanging from it, and just a nice solid oak
door with a brass knocker. You find yourself pushing Maizie on the swing.
Liz and Stephen are probably making some lunch. Push me higher, higher,
any higher, you'll be going into space. I don't care, push me
higher. I wish I had your sense of adventure. Hey, stop moving,
Liz. She's got your wild streak. While it would take it.
It's just one good push. Not here, not here? You leave them
alone, do you hear me? Not? Let you leave them alone.
You can do whatever you like to me. I don't care. But you
leave my sister and her family alone. Things begin into dissolve and you're back
in the house Mazy sniffling a bit, and Liz is uh, she's finding
a plaster. As they say in the UK, It's all right, honey,
it'll be okay. It's just a bruise. It's just a bruise.
Nobody it hurts, it'll be fire. I have a little disinfectant. It's
okay. I don't like that though it hurts. It's all right, just
just be strong. It just hurts for a second. Okay, shit,
this let me do it. This is what mother's a four. Yes,
but this is what uncles are four. Ride space girl, and I kind
of gave her a little nudge. H how about we have the expedition.
Medic look after you? Eh? Mazy kind of nods her head. All
right, fine, thank you, nurse. Here you go medic all right,
Maizie. Then big breath for me. M done? Done? Pretty
for another adventure? Hey, yes, another another bred for any sure,
I'm Fanny, I can lets make this stuff. It's just you did.
Things begin to dissolve around you. You find yourself holding the mirror. The
mirror begins to crack. You start to see familiar scratches, and the cracks
fracture through the mirror. Kay, don't you have an appointment? Anthony?
You open your eyes and you seem familiar sights of New York around you.
I think, first thing I do is slip a hand in the satchel,
make sure the book is still the book is not there? Oh no,
no, no, no, no no no. And I dropped to this
floor, just on the street, up ending the bag. I don't know
no, come on, you've got to be here. You've got to be
here. Where the where the hell are you? What? Oh? And
then I have a quick search from my pockets to see if the photocopies of
the pages I took are there. Photocopies are there? Oh jesus, you
took a couple random shots around the page that you were trying to sort of
rip the tag out from. Yeah, okay, okay, okay, let's
find the book. The book was missing. Another book is missing. That's
fine, that's right. I shove the papers back in my jacket and I
make a beeline for the deli. You head to the deli, noticing that
it's actually probably about twenty twenty five minutes since you got off the phone.
As you walk in to the Delhi, you can see that there are,
uh, it's reasonably full in here. It's probably maybe about like dinner time.
You know, it's about rush hour now, so it's really packed in
here. And you walk in and all the tables are kind of like full
of various people all about. You can see one hand kind of come up
from the crowd and wave. I assume I would recognize that as the men
from the club the stark white of the sports jacket, basically the sports coat.
He's pretty apparent in this crowd of people dressed in winter clothing. It's
pretty easy to see. So I think it's like a tight tights A hold
of my satchel as I wove towards him. I think i'd look. I
can just look behind the counter about the staff. Uh see if fatighe is
working. Uh yeah, but it's super busy. There's like a line basically
out the door when you go into the deli. Uh what do you imagine?
What have you been in? A lot of delis State Side's one States
Side ones probably not okay, So a lot of the really like famous places
in the in New York City, they'll have some seating, like there's probably
like some really small tables and some and some like tall chairs kind of along
the wall, but there's a fair amount of space because they get mobbed in
New York City, like they're crazy. The really good ones are just super
mobbed, and there's people that are kind of like they probably are picking up
orders. There's people that are you know, making orders, but you can
see that a man dressed all in white is sitting down at the table and
you can see that there is a there's a bagel that sat in front of
them, just on a plate, and you can see cream cheese kind of
like losing out the sides of the bag. So I think I just give
how to teach that sort of because I know it would be weird for me
not to acknowledge that he's there, and then I would approach the the table
with the man in the lovely sports check yet m Professor Charles, Yes,
and I had extend a hand. I don't think we're ever formally introduced.
There's the first time for anything. Please have a seat, a thank you,
like anything. I don't either think. I think you're a little swamped.
I wouldn't worry about that. Is there anything you want? How hungry
do I feel? When was the last time you ate? Mm hmmm,
probably pretty hungry. Yes, I can a little something that would probably be
a good idea, could I? Oh, you can just tell that T
shall have my usual. It's what would that be? It's just a club
sandwich on Rye. Club sandwich on Rye. Yes, ah, well sandwich
on Rye the usual for Professor Charles. Here now, Professor Charles, you
my ear what exactly can I do for you? You mentioned something about protection,
Yeah, yes, yes, sir, Sorry, what sort of protection
do you offer? What are your surfaces? He starts to like eat the
bagel, and he's making a mess, and it's very strange to look at
because again he's wearing like a really nice suit. However the edges are sort
of a bit tinged with like tobacco stains. But he sort of responds to
you with his mouth full. Well, Professor Charles, do you prefer Professor
Charles or Anthony? Yes? I say that there are many different kinds of
protection. Are you protecting yourself from anything? In particular? Because protection can
be most effective when knowing what you are being protected from. Ah, you're
a sandwich. Thank you, atish, it's appreciative. You can add it
to my bill. Thank you. He looks between the both of you and
he says, yeah, no problem. You sure you don't want anything else,
mister Hoffman, No, that'll be just fine. I must commend you,
even though it's obviously later in the day. The bagel is quite friend
Thank you, let's see. Uh, you're welcome, and uh sort of
walks back to the counter and there's people that are like giving you guys the
stink eye because they're waiting for their food. Yeah, and this was brought
out really quickly. But I would be looking as uncomfortable as sin anyway,
just from Hoffman's attitude and garish behavior as far as his eating goes. So
what is it exactly that you need protection from so that I can best help
you? And all? Honestly I have I don't. I don't know exactly,
but I am I am being asked to do something by forces I don't
quite understand, yes, and I need want something to act as my backup.
It could be from other other people or something else entirely you. I'm
sorry, this is a mistake. I finished your bagel, I I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for wasting your time. He puts a hand on your hand
as he as you maybe are shift your weight to get up, and his
hand is a lot stronger than you anticipate. I think it's better to finish
this conversation, Professor Charles, you are here already, as I'm as sorry.
You may have to indulge me a little. I'm afraid, yes,
indulgences, and I sit my weight. Really, you must be hungry.
I can hear your stomach rumbling from here. Yes, sorry, and I'll
sort of pick up the club sandwich and mhm mm hmm oh if yourself hungry
often, Uh, this is as normal. I suppose I don't need a
great a great deal. Sorry, is that is that decare for? Oh?
Please, it's fully caffeinated. If you're going to do it, you
might as well do it right, as I always say, Oh that's better.
Now, protection protection, And he kind of like he sort of uh,
just just taps your hand a little bit. Now. You were saying,
can you explain anything else? And I I just paused in my head.
I'm I'm just running. I'm like slumming against the bars in every direction,
feeling like I'm going completely insane. Do you have experience with I'm just
going to say it, other other worldly entities? I'm sorry, I am
sorry. I don't mean to laugh at your very difficult admission. I laugh
because if you only knew I have some experience. Yes, hmmmm, well
I have started having visions. I suppose the dreams. You seek these to
be blocked, do you. I I don't know if if it's trying to
help me or hinder me. And yeah, at the point that I find
that answer, I would appreciate protection, as I understand it. You believe
that there is something showing you these visions, and you wish protection from it,
were you to need. Is that correct? Yes? I yes,
yes, that's potentially a possible outcome of of this. I I'm also under
no illusion that if I carry out what he needs it that needs me to
do, I could be very much in harm's way. Oh, harms way.
M. You can see he sort of takes the edge of the bagel
and like takes the cream cheese that's oozing out, and he just kind of
hmm. Well, I believe that is something we can help you with.
However, I would offer an alternative as well. I believe my employer could
rid you of this passenger entirely. I mean, I forgive me. I'm
not a I'm not a businessman. I don't I don't make deals. But
no, you're not. Who who is your employer? I my employer would
most likely prefer in this case to remain in England, right, And I
assume you would want something from me in return. I think you're very clever.
Indeed, yes, definitely, that is what a bargain is. After
all. Yes, of course, there's two sides to every trade. Can
I pick up the sandwich again? Mm hmm? What would you want from
me? Well, that depends. Protection is one price and getting rid of
the passenger would be another. If you wish protection, what would you be
willing to offer? Uhh, I mean I haven't. I'm just a professor,
and I don't have a great deal of money or I money is potentially
interesting. However, I don't think that you would have enough. I mean
from what currency. I don't understand if awhere there's money is used to acquire
goods and services. I don't have anything else I can offer. Oh,
I assure you a man such as yourself, with talents such as yourself,
has much to offer. You just need to think harder. Mister Charles or
Professor Charles, excuse me how I am? I I could get you access
to to the university. I I I could, I could give you a
lecture on on my the life. I'm just I'm nobody. I kN mm
hmmm. I don't think you give yourself enough credit. Perhaps you could give
us a very specific item. There is a notebook that we are interested in.
A notebook, Yes, a notebook have a blank one. Oh no,
no, it is a very specific notebook belonging to someone that I believe
you know, a doctor Ada Copeland. Of course, the price for protection,
the other item, if you wished to be rid of your passenger,
would be more difficult to get. That makes sense for me to know my
options. What about that? Mm hmm. He reaches across the table and
kind of like pats your hand again, and he says he's still beating hard,
and we switch scenes. Doctor Copeland, you wake up and you are
in your apartment. However, you can see that your apartment has been changed.
When your eyes flutter open, you can see that everything is clean,
neat, and organized. And I would assume that there'd be a moment of
panic as you realize that you're in your apartment and the police are looking for
you. Right, the calendar, where's the calendar? Can I take a
look at it. It's a different calendar, it's twenty twenty. There are
no rats around. You can probably hear gladys hopping around in the background.
Can I observe a situation? Sure? All right, I uh take a
look around. Yeah, okay, Can you ask me one question? Sure?
My heart's fluttering. What about this place is being hidden from me?
Do you stay where you are? You'd be waking up? I think probably
in your bed. Okay, yeah, I mean I get up out of
the bed. I stand up and look around to get my calendar. Okay,
but that's it, just right by the bed. When you look around
your place, everything seems normal. I think that you don't find anything hidden
from you. Sorry, let's say that again. My audio cut up.
Uh when you look around your place, you don't see anything being hidden from
you. Hmm. Okay. I look at my hand. Do I still
have them? Oh? Yeah, the mark? Uh? Okay. I
go to my closet and I get some clothes, something a little more functional,
you know, long sleeve shirt. Your place is significantly tidier than you
left it. M Are my clothes still in the closet? Okay? Well,
I uh, kind of kind of a gingerly like put some clothes on
and keep one eye out in case someone walks around the corner or something.
There's a there's a note that you find that you probably didn't notice when you
first got up. That was probably on the bed post. Just take it
to the bed post. Just a piece of paper, and you can see
that the edges are a bit yellowed. Well, there it is. Okay.
I finished putting my clothes on and some shoes and a jacket, a
winter jacket, and I just really quickly I look around in the bed and
around the bed, and is the heart here? Is it? Here?
Is it in the big Can I hear it at all? Okay? It's
not une of my pockets or anything. It's all okay, okay. I
grabbed the note and I read it. You'll say, yeah. When you
look at the note, it says you asked for an escape, and you
have one. Your place was a bit messy. Don't worry. That's not
part of any other bargain. Free of charge. The other things are being
looked into. Feel free to contact me if needed. Is it signed,
says mister Hoffman. Is there contact information on it? There's just a business
card that's uh probably attached. It's a cleaner business card than the last one
you had. M hmm okay, uh can I can? I mm hmmmm?
Okay, okay. So I take the business card and I walk out
of my bedroom slowly, and what do I see? Just my apartment?
Your apartment? Huh see gladys in the cage, hop and around. Hello,
baby, glattys, glattys. She looks healthy and mm hm hm hmm.
Okay, probably pecking away at the You know, you probably have like
one of those I forget what they're called, but like those seeds stick things.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Can I uh,
I'm gonna open up the cage. Can I just sort of put my hand
in front of her and see if she comes to me? Mm hmm,
okay, your hops on to your fingers. She's a she's healthy and looks
good. M h hello baby, how are you? Mm hmm. Can
I bring her over to my shoulder? M hmm, she's just up there,
yep, Okay, she just does her normal raven things, all right.
I go over to the kitchen and I look for the knife that I
took earlier before I went to sleep. Is it there, knife you took
before you went to sleep? Yeah, with the zip lock bag and I
grabbed a steak knife. Is it back in the steak knifeholder? No,
let's gone. Okay. I look inside my fridge and I have some food
in there with expiration date labels and everything whatever you'd expect to be in your
fridge is there? Okay, I take my phone. I have a cell
phone, loads of messages on that. Can I listen to one? Sure,
the latest one? Whatever it is, Doctor Rate of Copeland, this
is a detective hole over at Precinct twenty three. If you could please call
me back at your earliest convenience, we need to talk. I shut off
the phone immediately, I shout it all the way off. I go into
the kitchen, back in the kitchen where I'm at, and I get some
aluminum foil. I get some aluminum foil, and I I I open up
one of my cupboards, the smaller ones by the cabinet tree, okay,
and just start taping some aluminum foil into the inside, to the inside of
the cabinet. Yeah, the inside of the cabinet. We sometime, you
know, with the aluminum foil, and I've made a little box for it.
I uh. I turned on the messages and I just set it into
the cabinet and I closed the door, and I want to listen to the
rest of them on speaker. Okay. Go through the messages, and they're
from like various maybe people you work with, and there are people like confirming,
like what's going on. I think maybe you go through a few of
those and eventually you get to the last message and you hear a doctor Copeland,
this is mister Hoffman. I've taken care of certain things to make sure
that you have escaped properly. You shouldn't have to worry about your current predicament
very much. However, I don't know if that will rest forever. I
suggest you contact me soon to talk about what else you can do to make
this bargain complaint. Good day, Okay, okay, I reach back in
and grab my phone. It's safe. I every chop and then I look
over a glattys on my shoulder. What do you think? Yeah, me
too, what doctor Copeland? You've never called me that, doctor Copeland.
Bargain? Hmm. Let's see, all right. I take the uh the
business card, and I dialed the number. We switched scenes Quinn and Remy.
Yeah. Yeah, it's uh, it's dark out now. It is
the middle of winter, so uh it's probably not too late, probably about
a little bit after five. Maybe. Yeah, you had a good sleep,
right, good sleep? Yeah? Uh, Ohia has left? Okay,
well, did you want to go get a charger? I'm sure,
there's like a eight years do yeah, let us get a charger. We'll
meet your friend, right. Are you still for that? I don't know,
should should we? I mean I don't. She seemed pretty pissed,
Q. And and she might she might be going through something, and who
knows, maybe maybe she can even help us with something. I know she's
a psychologist. Uh, she's also wanted for some crazy ship. She had
me pulling out stabbing a heart today, Remy, and even even where I
was in her office as well. I mean, she just s I was
talking about this whole dream walker thing, like maybe they're trying to silence her,
or there's something she knows, or maybe she knows about Lenny, you
know, the psych I there's so much going through my mind right now,
Q, And I just I'm not sure what I want to do here,
Okay. I I know there's a lot of shit going on right now,
but I don't know. I just I feel like you're the only one I
can trust right now. I feel the same way. I mean, I
barely even trust myself. Q. And if you ain't even around, I
have no idea where I would be right now. I would have probably lost
it. I probably I probably would have lost my ship q I. I,
I honestly think I would. I it's it's it's it's just been something
else. Well, let's let's at least get much. I gotta say something.
And it's really hard for me to say, Quino, I got you.
Two years ago, I was hit by a car and I died,
like Remy's just like come again. Hum. And then he remembers que walking
into the middle of the street as well, and you know, pulling her
out of there or pulling them out of there and being so worried, and
then he starts thinking about Green and how detective was her. SI was talking
about how she died twenty years ago. In his mind after getting sleep,
is starting to just race, and he's trying to just do you want to
do you? Do you want to water? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
yeah, hold on, yep. It was a lot for me too,
So wait, hold on, just cue, just give me a second please,
yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, just so you know you're yeah,
you're trying to tell me that you died. Yeah, most definitely.
I was standing over my body and they took they took it, okay,
And but happened after that? Did they? Well? I'm still here.
And they so I actually found me kind of helped me get set up up.
Oh all right, yeah, and Im it's just kind of like visibly
upset, but like he's trying to really like understand it, right, like
he's not freaking out too much, but it's mind belonging to him. Uh
all right, Okay. And and and then I don't know why, like
a funeral was there? Oh god, yes, I didn't go, oh
my god. So all right, so when when Cy was talking about Green,
that was just it was familiar. Yeah. And I actually wanted to
tell you a couple of days ago, or I mean I wanted to tell
you for a long time, and I wanted to tell you earlier, but
it just I couldn't. I tried. I just didn't want to continue down
this rabbit hole without you knowing everything. I think that's why my card says
time is my business. So you feel like you're you're gonna fade, you
only have I don't. I have no idea. Oh my god, oh
cue this. You know this is a lot obviously, right, But I
I'm I'm still with you, like I'm just trying to understand. I'm just
trying to understand it, and it seems like you don't understand it fully either,
right, Like this is something now. I mean I saw I saw
a weird kid at when it happened, but I I try not to think
about it, to be honest. That's that's why I do. Did that
Earlier, I thought I was in a weird I thought I was dreaming.
I thought maybe that I had actually died and all of this was just some
fucked up you know, because last moments bullshit, I was just trying to
wake up. You're definitely alive to me, Q, So whatever it is
that had happened, I don't know. Maybe I'm not trying to say it
was a dream or anything, but I don't even know what anything is right
now? Do you mind me? It wasn't a dream, and you're not
crazy, okay. I just the reason I wanted to tell you is because
that picture you took of me, remember, was that? Yeah? I
just want you to know you're not crazy. I think I know why the
picture looks like that because I'm dead man. I'm not supposed to be here.
No, you are supposed to be here. Well, I mean,
I'm here, but you know what I mean, it's happening, like,
no, you are listening the best detective, You're going to be the best
I am going to be the best detective, but I just might be the
best off debt detective. And you know undead detective agency, you know something
like that. It does have kind of a nice ring to it. Cube,
you know, and then Stile goes bust me. Yeah, right right,
okay, And you feel any different, does it? Oh? Yeah,
I feel really weird. Food does tastes the same, It's it's just
there's a whole list I could go. Man, this actually is really nice
to talk to somebody about this. But yeah, I just think it's important
that we our eyes are wide open, Remy, because there's a lot of
shit going on right now, and I don't know who to trust except for
you and Cy. You can always trust me, Cue and you can always
trust me, And that's why I told you it's you and me, man.
But we have to pay the fuck attention. We got to take the
ship serious. We need to figure this out. We do. Yeah,
I'm not sure? Yeah? Who who? Out there? There seems to
be so much going on and I just feel so alien to it, Like
I just well, we're going to start like detectives. We're gonna start with
the first clue. Do you think I can be detective? You fucking are.
Now we're starting the undead Detective Agency right now, you and me,
You and me. You've got the camera, Yep, you're ready. I'm
ready with your first clue. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, fuck yeah
fuck yeah. And we're gonna solve this ship, figure out what's up whatever
this whole situation is that we're in. Yeah, I'm gonna find Lenny.
I'm gonna figure out what's up with and then we're gonna get place Ebo off
the market. Yeah fuck Placebo. Fuck Placebo. All right, c I'm
down for it, And I really appreciate you coming out to tell me that
because I always feel like I'm crazy a lot of the times, and honestly,
yeah, I know you do, but you're not. And it's important
to be open with you as well. I know there's a whole lot of
things that I've seen that I couldn't explain, and you've always been there to
tell me exactly. Yeah, it's not weird, or it is weird,
but you're not crazy. At least you're not crazy, and I think you
have a gift remy. I think you can see things other people can't tell
me too. Yeah, well I think maybe I think maybe we we got
We just gotta play it, smart man. We can't keep telling everybody everything
when we meet them. We just got to start playing the game. No,
don't even worry about it. Don't even worry about it. But from
this moment forward, it's you and me, and we're a team. We
are a team. Pounded cut. Fuck placebo, Fuck placebo. All right,
let's get that charger. Let's get the charger one, and then we'll
do they have pizza? Do you think they have a pizza slice down there?
I'm about the corner right yeah, this this guy, even if it's
like the ones that are kind of out for a bit, I just need
something, just literally anything would be fucking great right now. I could eat
a horse. Okay, all right, let's do it. Let's do it.
I know, yeah, there's a store right down the street. I
just grab it real quick. Get the mobile one because I think sometimes they
have a charge in them already, you know those mobile charges they have.
There are a set of keys in here. Do you see did Sileive has
set a second ease? Can I he told us to lock up. How
the am I supposed to do that? He probably just has a I think
he's just got like a you know, like a Now he's a cop,
he would have a decent lock in there. Yeah, there are a set
of secondary keys up there. I think he probably just has a another set
of keys on the hook. Yeah, okay, Oh, I think I
think, oh, he actually has like the you know how you can turn
the lock on the inside before you close the door. He's got a good
lock. He wouldn't have that, he'd have Yeah, he got that ship.
Yeah, all right, Well, I think I can lock all this
up and then you know, we can come back here and eat and you
know, we got some time to kill. I guess. Yeah, so
you're not you're not really feeling the whole the whole dock thing, huh,
because well, I don't know. I mean the way she looked, yeah,
looked like she was gonna fucking rip my throat out. I'm fine with
your heart, I don't think. I don't know if you still have a
heart, Oh Jesus. Remy puts his hand to Quinn's chest. He tries
to feel for a beat, like a heartbeat, even and does a I
don't know if he feels so remy. You're killing me? Man, Do
I have one? On? This is awkward? Hold on? My hands
are still? You know what? Maybe DoD tell me if I don't have
one. You know what, it doesn't even matter you, It really doesn't.
So when you when you try to feel for a heart beat, I
think you you don't feel a heartbeat. You feel the equivalent of a ticking.
Oh. Gross gross. And I'll be honest. So we're in that
like qu yeah, uh did yeah? Yeah, it's it's it feels like
a like a clock almost. What like, listen, have you ever listened
to your own heartbeat? Cue and just stopped and listened to it? When
you you it sounds like a heartbeat to you? I mean I think I
hear a heartbeat. It sounds like it's ticking. Cue what your ear there?
Man? Is the ticking? Or is it a heart beat? All
right? So that's quick, cute chest. It's just like, yeahs as
definitely a tick. What do you mean it's a tick? I hear the
bum bump? I lie to you? Cue what I lie to you?
Cue? What I lie to you? You? Please? Are you lying?
I'm not you please. You said that time something about time earlier,
and I hear the tick. All right, so maybe we don't have a
seriously, okay, thank you, thank you. I'm sorry, I'm not
I'm just being real. Sure, No, I we've made it this far.
You we're gonna we're gonna figure this ship out, right, Yeah,
yeah, you want to, you know, just some pizza. Don't overthink
it too much. But let's be safe. Keep your eyes out for anything.
I'm not every time went out. I'm not gonna let time went out
for you. Okay, that's I think it's already run out, you know.
No, everything else is just gravy, right, extra, yeah,
you know what. Let's just we're in the ride. Let's just ride this
thing. You know, this is a this is what it is. Who
knows, right, I mean for anybody. We're all on a clock.
So I mean, like you think about it that way, right, nothing's
promised to us. We don't know when we're gonna go or anything like maybe
the time. Maybe when when the time runs out, you'll come back to
life as you. Maybe I can't die on undead on undead yeah undead' fuck
man? That makes me feel better. Thank you no problem. You're right.
It's just like a fucking Friday, every other Friday, just boom.
I could go tomorrow, I could go in a couple hours. I could
go a year for him. Maybe even you all live me, you know,
yeah, I mean let's hope not, but let's go. All right,
you go first, I just want to check and make sure this lock
works. I'll see you out there. I'll see you out there, cube.
All right. I grab the keys and I'm like checking the locks,
and then I before I shut the door, Like I open the door,
he'll walk and stand on the other side of it. And then I'm just
testing the keys to make sure that they actually work, and then if they
do, then I will leave the apartment and lock it up properly. Okay,
I mean head down to the twenty four hours shop. Now, head
out. And as we're going, Remy's just taking pictures of everything, like
it's almost obsessive, where He's just like, that's just a fucking tree,
a fucking pizza. Ruh. Remy, gotta be something that's gotten me something.
Remy, when I said take a picture of everything, I'm in everything
suspicious, I didn't mean like everything everything. Oh, I know you don't
have film or anything, but it's gotta be something. I know, Lenny
where always let you would always find something. As you're about to walk out
the you're heading to the UH, to the security door, and I think
behind you, remy, you hear who? Turn around? You see a
gun pointed at your head? And that's where we're gonna end the session today.
What oh what? What? Oh? My? Wow? Yo,
Son, are you kidding me? Max? I swear to God, are
you kidding? No? That was wow my pizza. I don't get to
eat my floppy prop pizza. Bought it up for pizza rat. Damn if

good. Sick trucks and they are fresh. So my homies out there,
so yeah, how long I got it? So not being a skateboarder myself,
how long does the underside of the skateboard stay that crisp like? How
long? Depends how good you are? It depends probably about two days.
Probably about two days, I would say it depends how hard on the paint
you go whack all right, buddy. Uh, let's see, I got
some questions for you, got our end of session questions to ask. Let's
see here, what an episode. Have we discovered anything new about the truth?
I think so so yes. I mean just p be telling me that
and then also Green being dead for twenty years and yeah, I'm I'm not
sleep deprived, so I'm definitely taking it seriously. So I'm gonna say one
hundred percent, yes, have we learned anything new about our characters? About
us Let's see, uh dead woman over here? Yeah, right, but
about me right, like yeah, but our characters that I'm well, whatever
however you want to interpret it, but I would lawyer that you. I
don't know if it was talking about like me specifically, but yes, that
is a huge, huge deal right there, Like me and Q have in
Tighten Now it's just like fuck placebo son. Have we challenged ourselves? Uh
yeah, I would say so very much. So just it's about mentally,
I would say, about like understanding it, like I didn't do anything super
strenuous. That would say, but hmm, coming stems, it depends.
I would say, it's on you if you give this to me as far
as like processing it and really understanding it, and so I'm saying, I'm
gonna say you've got two. I don't think you have that third one like
a super check. Yeah, I think, okay, all right, thank
you, I think maybe correct. Thank you. PB. Hello, Hi,
I am Pumpkinberry. You can find me at Twitch and Twitter at Pumpkinberry.
Go ahead and ask me the questions because I I just this episode was
so good. Have we discovered anything new about the truth? No? Maybe
I learned about dream Walkers. Actually, yeah, that's a new tidbit of
information about the Truth I did not know before. Have we learned anything new
about our characters? I learned something about CI, but I don't know if
that counts. Well, give it to you. Okay. Have we challenged
ourselves? Not today? No? Okay? Two XP. Well wait a
minute, I had to tell Remy that I was dead. I came out
as that dead person. Yeah, I go back. I assume. Yeah,
well sign knows, but we don't talk about it. So yeah,
okay, I'll say three. Sure, thank you, thank you. You
deserve that one. Thank you, thank you. Nicotine. Hello, everyone,
my name is Nicotine. I'm a Twitch streamer and I K A T
I an E. I do a lot of role play content on my channel
that's Twitched on TV Slash Nicotine and uh as my first tabletop campaign. I
usually do Grand theft Ato role play and it was the first time doing like
a like a tabletop game. It's really fun. I really like it.
So yeah, Nicotine and Nicotine prime on Twitter. I couldn't remember my Twitter
handle second every weekday a am Pacific. Nicotine played through a mini earthquake.
By the way, Wow, yeah, there's like a seamu little earthquake.
There's just a little It wouldn't normally be that big of a deal, but
but like all of my equipment and electronics and stuff are like stacked on top
of it like a big thing in front of me. And so when I
see like stuff wobbling gets a little You're like, oh fuck, just for
like a second. But it's fine. Pastack Cali things. Have we discovered
anything knew about the truth? Yes, that animals are affected, that that
something affected my bird, and also it kind of makes me question the existence
of that cat that's also that also shares my name. So yes, something
about the fact that animals are affected. As one I'm actually arguing and know
on that one. I'm going to say no. No, I would argue
that that is more of a thing about your character. Oh okay, then
so I think you can answer yes, or have we learned anything new about
your characters? Okay? Have we challenged ourselves? I don't think so.
I don't think. The only challenging thing that I that I think I could
have possibly done would have been to to reach out to Quinn and try to
get to try to get her to tell me where she was because fuck place
ebo. Sorry, I'm going to say yeah, I'm gonna say, uh,
I'll give you that one. I'm gonna say, you've got to there.
Okay, XP cool, Thanks, thank you. Jay. Hello,
I'm Jay Brittain, voice actor, streamer. You get to be a twitch
on TV forward Slash Jay Britain Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday nights and
then a little bit before for SID on Fridays. I will be on Sunday
four o'clock doing some Bloodborn and the Command and Conquer remaster would usually be Winecraft
with the one above me, Millie. But she uh, I'm gonna say
nice things about her momentarily, she bless her is an incredible amount of pain
with let me set you're clipping it. No, no, I gotta set
the seeing here hold now okay, sorry character, Yeah, that's why it
was challenging role of supportive partner. Oh my god, I immediately feel like
I have to put an accent on also. Yeah, so she's in an
incredible amount of back pain right now. She is not doings like that because
blessed her. She's been in bed for about three days now due to her
back. So do go and give her some love so it won't be anyway.
You have a Twitter, though, you can love up on her.
She does, and she has her twitch, twitch dot tv four slashal Media
Tyler. She'll be there soon as well when I'm back fixed, so that'll
be me on Sunday. She also, if you notice, Professor Charles looks
slightly different this week. She cut my hair, and god damn it,
did she do a great job. Mildly irritated. I thought we were gonna
end up with a bubbes to death. Yeah, look at that. I
think your faith is better than mine. I'm not gonna I'm going I'm gonna
start going to her instead. Dominicanvirobers they got to think it's I think that's
it. I think that's probably me. That's it, all right? Questions
for you? Have we discovered anything new about the truth about the truth?
No? Have we learned anything new about our characters? Nope? Have we
challenged ourselves? I think yes, because this is a very unlike Professor Charles
to be going on the offensive and like negotiating with weird people he's never met
before. And I know stealing book was last episode, but just going forward
rather than just like, okay, thank you, can I lawyer one for
him? What about? What about the encounter where he basically said I can
help you get rid of your thing forever. That's some knowledge bomb. I
bet he didn't think that was fucking possible. Is that about the truth of
the situation? Though? I think I am interpreting the truth as in the
facade, like are you learning more about what's behind the curtain to the GM?
All right? So I'd say that's actually closer to anything new about your
characters. Well, there you go. It's two points instead of one.
Every point counts. G. I'm not an xple orright, G you are?
You forgot? Anyone who ever comes to any of my streams will know.
I like to make things as hard for myself as possible. There's a
sex joke in there if you'd like to placebo. Yeah, yeah, low
hanging plumbs another All right, thank you JA, Thank you j. Make
sure you follow everybody here. I'm Wax Stephen. I have been your GM
of Doom of drag, the players kicking and screaming to the adventure today.

chat with the xtion point b l M or the panel underneath. And thank
you everybody for hanging out with us today and watching facade. We're gonna we're
actually going to raid into Trooper s j P. He's on the Estate of
Affairs show that we had yesterday. Really a great role player, and he
did an awesome lecture last night. He's a teacher and he did an awesome
lecture about African American music and culture and it was extremely informative. I was
lurking there through most of it before I passed out, and it's really good
stuff. So we're going to give him a raid. Thank you everybody for
watching app You can say right, oh, very cool. If you go
out and do you know any of the protesting or anything like that, you
know, and things hit the fan. Don't be a martyr. You know,
it's like it's crazy. There's a lot of craziness and people kind of
lose focus of what exactly the actual causes for. So you know, don't
