The group wrapped up their staking out of the city of truth Water, but
unbeknownst to them, Glad Dominic had made his way back, and Dolly Pine,
through some filet magic, had already learned that they were there. So
you all just finished up staking out truth Water. Arthur and Matthias made their
way into the casino, the well I think it was, I called it
the water Fall Casino. You went through, did a few tricks, a
few gambits to get as feign as you could, to learn as much about
the facility as you could, whereas for twit s G nine and Warren,
you two staked out where you are going to attempt to assassinate Dolly Pine.
Now, before the plan actually goes under way, is there anything that you
all want to do last minute? You know? I mean, we don't
know that we're fucked. Well, you don't we know that we're fucked.
They are our characters do not know that they are fucked. So I mean,
in the instance of prepping, I think Warren figures has kind of figured
out everything. I think wants to leave anything to chance, So I think
I'm awesome. Well, the plan begins, Frank and the rest of the
Slanders put Clinton McCracken in irons. They do themselves up with a little bit
of an outfit change, trying to be more presentable as obvious bounty hunters as
opposed to bandits, which is usually just different color palette. And they move
him into town. Where do you all want to be when this happens?
Anywhere? I think we can because this isn't the day of the execution.
I want to just go somewhere where we can kind of discretely observe. If
that's okay, If everyone okay, So you all meet back up and you
go somewhere too discreetly observe. So how about I get some stealth checks,
perhaps blend into crowds or hold up a second floor of an end to look
out the windows. Oh would I um be able to do this shadow step
shit like? Given advantage? Yeah? Okay, Wow, those weren't good.
I'm glad for the advantage though that I don't think. Alex correct me
if I'm wrong, But I believe because I'm a Harbinger, I can cast
pass without trace once a day using my constitution modifier. That is true,
that's nutty, that's fucking insane. Then I'm gonna go ahead and cast pass
without a trace and kind of just lead us all on our stealth mission.
So everyone gets a plus ten to their stealth role. Okay, harbor joyce.
I guess in this case reminiscing on that flashback you had three episodes ago.
Yeah, uh um, you use the innate magic of your physicality too.
That is rough. Um, Michael again again, you need to say,
was in the middle of talking did you give you did you say?
Oh? Fuck, I got NAT one. That's all you have to say.
Oh I got a NAT one. Oh fuck I got I got a
NAT one for eleven. I got a twenty seven. I got a twenty
eight. Wow. Um, what's the total for that NAT one with pass
without a trace? So you add ten to it? He said, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, I have no modifiers? Okay, uh
and Sean even rolling with disadvantage right, Oh yeah, since I'm like six
feet tall, yeah, wearing big armor. Boy. Oh I also got
an elevel. Oh wait, no, I got a twelve because I got
a plus I got that one too. Oh nice, awesome, glad for
us. We're already linking up. Cool. Um, so you all blend
into a crowd in the alleyway. As the sand Slingers bring Clint through town
into it. The reception isn't obvious as first, as people start to come
out of their holes being like, Hey, what's going on? Like what's
with this dramatic showing of this dude walking um? And then you'll hear a
couple voice of like is that No, it can't be because it's been decades
since any of these people have seen Clint McCracken. A few of them probably
have never seen him. But it only takes a few minutes to the room
for the rumors to spread and crowd let's begin to form on either side of
the street. As he is walked through to the Sheriff's office right by the
gallows, they simply bring him inside and not another word is told for the
time being. Do you all continue to wait? I mean, can I
can I give an insight check of the not the crowd of like the situation,
like is this going to plan thus far? You know what I mean?
What are the vibes? I guess vibe checks. Tis a reasonable vibe
check? That is we're able five Now that's nineteen nineteen, Okay, so
this seems like it's going to plan. I mean, nothing is obviously awry.
Um. As you're observing this, you notice, um, a couple
of people exit the Sheriff's office and go into the Waterfall Casino. Twenty minutes
later, you will notice a larger group, UM, I'd probably say seven
or eight guards as well as Clyde Dominic and Dolly Pine exit the casino and
go into the Sheriff's office. And as you're observing this, Um, Matthias,
you feel tap on your shoulder. Huh. You turn around and see
your mother. Uh, oh my god, Matthias, how are you doing?
Son? Why you're You're in the oasis? And he didn't even want
to stop by and say hi. The only reason I recognize us because you're
so tall. I mean, wow, have you actually gotten bigger? She
starts like, uh, like trying to feel your arms and stuff. Oh
yeah, these, um, these biceps are actually is art around. I
would love to introduce art to my mother. Yeah, I've been assuming you
guys are in a group. All right, all right, come here,
come here art. This is my This is my mother. UM. You
know I got these biceps because I've been, ah, I've been getting some
good practice carrying art around on my back. So while I've been getting real
jacked, taking good care of your friends in Oh yeah, this is a
this is a little bit more than a friend. Mama. Uh, there's
there's like a wave of recognition over her. I want to point out,
not cactus face. Uh oh right right. She she just looks like a
like a normal older woman, mousey, brown, brown hair tied up into
a ponytail. She has a modest like western dress on with like cool dark
blues. Uh. And she goes, oh, oh, well, isn't
it well you you two would come over for supper? Then? Oh yeah,
assuming you have the time. I mean, are you here on business?
Uh? Yeah, yeah, it's a little bit of business, Yeah,
and quite a bit of pleasure. Hello, my name is one more.
It's pleasure to meet you. Make a history check to see if she
recognizes you. Oh, at which point she kind of stops and goes,
I I've seen you. I bet you. Where have I seen you from?
It's on tip my tongue. Were you an actor? You could say
that? Yeah? Make a deception check. Oh no, sexy number twenty
six, she's christ Uh she feels, oh wow, what were you in?
I was in a pretty good rendition of War of the Stars. You
understand, Um you were SI that. Oh yeah, yeah, I was,
um lord Vater. You know I had a breathing apparatus. Oh so
it's your voice I recognize then, yeah, yeah, you know. Um,
if I remember correctly, it was you know, really big clunky suit.
Uh. And I said, um shit, what was a lot it
was? It was such a long time ago. It was like um m
hm, you just say cookie over and over again. No, no,
that wasn't different. That was a different show. Actually that was a that
was Oklahoma, but no for for this one. And I said, Lucas,
I am your stepfather, a pretty good line, all right, I
remember I remember, yeah, yeah, the family trauma and that in that
whole situation. So who you know, Yeah, I really must be indicative
of the rider. I don't even want to step into the Freudian landscape that
is that man's mind, because oh boy, interesting, Sam, fuck you
for making Freud exists in this universe and Star Wars. I'm not going to
mention that I'm not as angry about about Freud existing. It can just be
an adjective of a thing. Who cares about? What where did it come
from? Who cares about the atomalogy, Alex, you can make some shit
up. You are not only the dungeon master, but the progenitor of this
world. Great Sigmund Freud was a great wizard from before the cultural schism that
created the filling in the droc theory. Um. He was actually stripped of
his rank and title um after it being jone that he was not in fact
a wizard, he was a warlock. Oh so so, uh, did
you have a big ego, a super ego? Perhaps? I mean,
can we Yeah? Now, let's him continue to have them Mike, all
right? Cool? Uh yeah, matthighs, your mom's here. Uh yeah,
so, um, well, I guess thank you for that anyway.
So yeah, what what are you doing here? Like? Oh, you
know, I was just coming into town to deliver some things from you know,
from the farm. Uh so yeah, we're having we're having a good
time. Yeah. And um what are you come about to deliver? Oh,
mainly just some documents. I mean, uh, we we got we
kind of hand on our on our taxes a little bit, but um uh
that and I was gonna go talk to the bank about standing our loan a
little bit as well. Okay, so just money things. I got it
all handled. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you do. I know,
Um, I know we're make an insight check. Uh okay, oh my
god, not my mother. Uh okay nineteen. Uh she looks like she
is feigning confidence. She looks like she does not have it handled. Okay,
I'm gonna ask um, uh do you do you need my help with
anything? I mean, uh, you know, oh no, not at
all. I mean you're busy with your own stuff. I would. I
mean it's like a business man, you know, I got I got riz
you know, like I can, I can smooth people. I always did
have such a knack for business. Yeah. Yeah, I think we both
do. I think we both have that good connection. When when he was
a kid, he had a he had a cactus juice stand mm. Although
it did go under because a lot of people were assuming the juice came from
him. Yeah, that is a bit of a marketing blunder, I will
say. But the juice was pretty good. I mean, it held up
for for quite a bit amongst the you know, the the tight knit folks,
the local it knew that it wasn't um plant person. P Yeah,
yeah, I've got if he's got the riz I mean all means yeah,
you know, I'm not come to think about it, that stam probably would
have lasted longer if I would have stopped pissing in the corner and made people
think that was what the cactus juice was. But you know what, you
know, A right, you got to learn your business tactics somehow. So
Dode, are you sure you you don't need any help? I'll be more
than happy to help you. Yeah, I'm sure. I mean, I
just gotta I was gonna I was gonna bring me by him some like some
homemade pastries to you know, really sweet and deal get that loan extension.
Yeah, well, let me know if you need any of my cactus juice
if oh well, if you need something to swig it down with, just
let me know and I'll get you. I'll get you that right away,
I will. I will. Well, it's don't I seen you be sure
to stop by, you know, I mean assume when you got the time.
Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, Me and me and my me and
the being the partner art will be well over there, not for now and
then to say hi and check in with you, Well that that would certainly
be and feel free to being your other friends too. Oh yeah, they're
all invited too. This is a fortuno, is here right? Yes?
Okay, so yeah, I will introduce them me like this is four too
old and oh my god, that's not a statue. No oh no,
no, hello, hello, how are you okay? Cool? Well,
it's so nice to meet your friends. I'll be sure to make enough food
for all of you. You're so sweet, mama. Good luck all right
with YouTube? When she gives you a kiss on the cheek and a hug,
and she's gonna she'll she'll wander off. Um. Cool. At which
point, uh, the sheriff exits the Sheriff's office to break this moment of
lemity that suddenly appeared, um, and he kind of just like stands up
on the stage of the gallows for a bit, uh and waits for people
to gather around as um. A couple of goons just stand next to him
ominously are out of changing everyone. The bandit, Clint McCracken has been apprehended
and we are currently keeping him in the jail cell. We are currently waiting
on a decision as to his situation. However, the current charge for mister
McCracken is give me a meenite. He takes out a really long scroll.
Um, all right, we have twenty two counts of first degree murder,
thirty two counts of manslaughter, eighty six counts of endangerment. That's from that
one time that he tried to blow up a building. But um, it
was a few used as well as um, a long list of fabricated financial
records. Yeah, Texes, the punishment that is being put against him is
hanged, hanged by the neck until dead. Yep. Uh. He gotta
just stands there awkwardly for a minute, not really knowing what else to say.
Yep, that's it all right by everyone. He goes back to his
office. Oh it seems like a man of action, not a man of
charisma. I don't know the time what um I mean, that's this is
according to plan thus far m. What was the vibe of the crowd.
Were they thinking, Oh, um, I'll carry over your insight truck for
that it's mostly excitement and curiosity. I mean for a lot of these people.
For like the amount of media that goes through truth water and the kind
of media that is this is for it does depend on political persuasions a lot.
But these people are being told, like by all of the authority figures
around them that like Clint McCracken is a bad person, like his methods are
endangering the populace regardless of what he believes in. Sure, sure so.
Um. A lot of some people are like, oh, man, that's
a shame, Like, you know, I wish they could meet, right,
meet, like an agreement of some kind instead of just killing him.
But a lot of people are like, good, you know that that man's
been causing trouble for too long. He has to die terrorist. Yeah,
sure, sure gotcha. So it's for sure a mix reception. Um.
I think the general vibe is that, oh, this is a cool part
of history that I'm gonna be get to be a part of, or just
like, isn't this wild? Yeah, it's more just a reaction to the
spectacle. Yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure. Um, I'm
gonna make a safe for Clint real quick. Okay, cool Huh I said
I was making a safe for Clint real quick. Don't worry about it?
Why all right? Awesome? Um, you see the sand Slinger's exit the
Sheriff's office with a sack. Um, until'll walk past. I'm gonna see
if they notice you guys. Uh, they do, so they um walk
away and then um, as they're walking past. Uh, you see Frank
turn to look at you guys and then just make like a little gesture.
Um, he's gesturing towards a bar down the street. Uh. I'll nod
and sort of like just from my head towards it's not walk So you guys
move over to the bar. Yeah, off we go. All right,
I'm gonna ask you guys this, what's the name of this bar? Oh?
Uh? The tilted ounce? All right, it's called the tilted ounce.
Uh. It is called that because due to a weird plumbing error,
every single fawcet inside of the bar is tilted. Horrible, but like just
like a little bit what a sum It's just a how goofy of them to
have caused this. I hope gravity doesn't spin? But are you trying to
afford that such an ominous thing to say? I hope gravity doesn't spin while
we're in this restaurant. All right, cool, you guys go in.
Um, the sand slingers are are held up in a booth um. Yeah.
There there are a couple of people that will go up to them,
just like, how did you do it? How'd you capture the great Clint
McCracken. Uh. And then Frank's just like, well, you know,
I've got my ways. Ah, classic franc He's so cool. Uh.
And eventually it's kind of like a line to talk to them. At this
point, you guys can either wait it out or into the line. Um,
I don't want to be a part of that hubbub, you know what
I mean. That's like an easy way to be like, Hey, that's
Larren Morris. Yeah. Is there anyone in this tilted ounce that seems to
be showing no interest? Oh? For sure, there's a couple of people
that. There's one dude by the bar that does not care. He's just
like reading a newspaper and drinking a beer. Is there just an empty booth
there is? Let's booth it up. Yeah, you spooth it up?
Awesome? Get him. Gonna run through my notes real quick. But I
have the weebear Bears theme stuck in my head and I've had like all the
week. Why. I don't know, it's it's it's in there. That's
interesting for sure. Uh huh for sure? Okay, Sean is totally ice
bear, totally ice bear. Yeah, aren't we all just a little ice
bear? Aren't we all little ice bear? Yeah? This is a weird
This is a Wee Bear Bears fan podcast. This is now a Rebar Bears
fan podcast. Finally, I've actually seen quite a bit of Wee bear bearers.
Um, yeah, how are we doing? Yeah? I'm fucking exhausted,
to be honest, I'm really tired. You get some coffee or something
I already have. It is yet to kick in, oh buddy. But
generally mentally exhausted. I feel spent. I can't wait to go to bed
all the time. All the time, I feel spent. But you know,
it's fun to hang out with y'all and play this fun game and see
how exactly the center squad it gets rammed up the anus by fate itself.
Very very exciting. I have no idea how it's going to happen. I
know something bad. She's just about to hit the fan. Oh shit,
his name's not Frank, his name's Paul. That Paul. He's so sorry.
Let me let me let me see if I up this over. Let
me see if I can dup this over and post Paul he's so cool.
There we go. God damn it, I'm so confident that I got it
right. I'm sorry, audience. It was so confident that I believed you.
Yeah, no, that makes sense now his name is Paul. God
damn it. Ah shit, I feel so bad now. Anyway, Um,
at one point, the lazard of the group zal Zo. Um,
that's what I was looking up by the way of their names. Did you
Oh okay, I thought you just remembered that when I'm like, how did
you remember that? No? No, I spent that time looking up looking
up their names. Um. Zalzo gets up at one point and um is
gonna walk past your group? Um, and uh, he just like walks
past your booth and then like around to the bar and then you'll like you'll
notice that, Um, fortuno, there's now a little note on in your
lap. It says Dominic and Pine are questioning him. Weird vibes between him
and Dominic. Um, Pine's trying to get him alone in a room.
Sheriff not having it absolute what you got there? Oh, yes, yes,
I will pass that. Not a yes. The information was share.
You reacted to it, so I assume that was out of character. I
think I can't. I see where does Born Morris end and Sam Cumberford begin?
So blurred? Um no, Um, Sam's the real Mass. I'm
the real Mass. I'm really a root and tooting, horrible ex capitalist.
Hmm. So hold on the sheriff doesn't won't gallip on alone in a room
with him? That's interesting to say. The least um is that the sheriff
is beholden to Delli Pie. Is that not correct? Um? Yes and
no. So technically his jurisdiction over um, like the judicialness of the city
is his, but um her, And it's like how rich people lobby politicians.
Um, he is beholden to her because like if she wanted to,
she could like fuck him over as well as everyone in the city. But
there's there's no like official thing saying that she is in charge of him.
Okay, okay, okay. Um Why would he Do I know anything about
this fucking sheriff because is like make a history check that is a natural one.
Yeah, Jehan, you can also make a history check because you're from
this area. Eleven. Um. You remember there being kind of a hubbub
about truth Water's new sheriff three years ago. Um, that's before you like
set out on your journey, and um, you don't remember what it was.
You just know it's a kind of controversial at the time. Okay,
so this person's a little a little riff raff. I'm sorry, I don't
know why I said that. Um, the information you've learned so far,
you're you're kind of getting the that that controversy may have been due to the
fact that he like might not necessary really be on the side of the Hydro
Collective, or at least is not. He is his own person. He
is not he's not like actively against them, but he's also like not their
slave. Interesting. Ah, so they're they're a free thinker. Sure,
Okay, God he listens to the Joe Rogan podcast. Uh uh m hm.
So I wonder what Dolly could do or what she's trying to do alone
with Clint, maybe extract a lot of information. That's extract a lot of
information for sure. For sure, I don't think there's any doubt in our
minds that that is happening, considering the fact that she is there there it
is is known for using magic among people who know the no you know what
I know. Um, so she's teliplines using magic for sure. Um,
I guess just what is uh what is she looking for specifically? And how
long does she plan to keep Clint there? You know, I guess it's
kind of the question at hand. Uh, that's what I got. That's
what I'm thinking. Should be like steak out the office. Look, I
guess we're not gonna be able to get look on like them actually talking and
there. So I was wondering we stake out the actual area where they're meeting
to see how long they're there for. I bet I could. Still,
it's my way. Didn't do it? Uh? Is that a risk you
would like to take? I mean, I guess it's up to you.
No, I'm just saying I bet I could. That's awesome, Okay,
Um, it's it's an option. I'm putting it out. Um, we
could do that. There's always there's always warrior concubiners. No, we're not
pulling this plan this time. It worked the first time, it barely worked
the first time, and last time I remember, did somebody die? No,
that was it was the yes, but it was the puppet king,
so we didn't want him anyway. Uh. Cool, Yeah, this is
like an Avenger's reference. No, but he gets like, oh yeah,
it happened in budapesh. Um. Yeah, let's not do warrior concubines because
they know our fucking faces Umm recognizable, Alex. You know what I'm gonna
I'm gonna prostrate myself in front of you. What the fuck do you want
from us right now? Man? I don't know where this is going,
and I'm quite frankly terrified. I just want to see. I'm I'm I
created a difficult situation and uh, like um a child with an ant farm.
I just want to see what we're gonna do. Do we want to
prison break the guy we just put into prison on purpose? No? I
mean that kind of would What if we what if we start like a social
revolution calling for his execution? Gets a little French revolution at some parts,
but we'll definitely speed up the execution. Why would we want to why why
would we want to do that one? Because our plan is, our original
plan was to do it, you know, when they were going to publicly
execute Clint mccrack. Guess okay, But like so it's just shortening our timeline
because right now we don't know the timeline, So we don't know if there's
a timeline that needs to be shortened. And additionally, if we make him
the enemy and then break him out, guess who were accomplices to now the
very person we made the big woopoo terrorist head of the past three days of
political espionage. No, no, I mean one or the Well yeah,
no, I guess you're I didn't see you coming up with any better fucking
place. Well, okay, no, but I do like I do like
that I've presented three very good No no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, you're right, you're right, all right,
if we count warrior con that's okay. Three. Um. I think if
we I do like the whole social aspect of this, if we could,
if we could do the pamphlet thing in this city, that at least will
her up some talk. You know what I'm saying, That at least it'll
at least make Dolly Pine or whoever think twice. But what the fuck is
happening? You know what I'm saying? Where once you get that basic question,
shit, what if we write her a letter? Okay, and go
on, I know incredibly say no. So we write a letter and we're
like, listen, we'll offer you a trade like give us back Clint McCracken
and either just Warren or you could have all of us, and then she's
gonna be like, yeah, let me get the info out of them,
and then we can all jump her. Oh yeah, we can all jump
her when she's surrounded by guards. Uh and uh yeah, that's that's that's
that's real good. I like that. I don't have a lot of ideas.
I think, Okay, I hold on, I got I got something.
Maybe I got something. Maybe what if I can cast merge with stone
once a day too? That is that's pretty handy. Actually. What I'm
thinking though, what if we spread the propaganda around that Dalipine does magic,
right, big deal? Like, holy shit, this is it's crazy.
If it's true when we try to assassinate her, if she uses magic,
then it proves our point right. And if and if it's seen that she
does magic, she's a big hypocrite Ladi da. The people are like,
oh, what the fuck's going on here? Well, what's happening? Right?
I mean? Is that something? Is that anything? What if we
talked that because this is like Alex, is this another kind of Corpo town?
Yeah? Cool? What if we get them to unionize, all go
on strike, start a union. I don't know how this is going to
help our plans. Yeah, cool, something cool plan, Dolly Pine by
convincing them to starting union. Hmmm, Because I'm just saying right now,
being like, hey, your superboss does magic. It's like, well,
they're my boss, so but it's gonna do what they're gonna do. But
it's antithetical to everything they've been saying, you know, like she's like,
oh yeah, no magic, magic is illegal, magic is bad, magic
is yeah, but what can you do on your own? Alex? Now
you have a your hand is raised, Sean, roll me at D twenty
and tell me what you get. Oh fuck, am I about to put
the riz on? Dolly Pine? No, what is the riz? Why
do you keep saying that one? I don't know that it's a one?
Yeah, okay, Uh, this was um. I have two scenes that
I had in mind to happen suddenly, so I was having your role even
or odd um on and odd um. You hear a woman shouting from outside
this uh this bar uh, and it takes you a minute, but you
recognize it to be your mother. You can't understand what she's saying, though,
But like you can, like you hear it well enough to be like,
oh, that's my mom yelling. Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna go
over, I'm gonna follow, do I do? I see her? Um,
you will look out a window and you see her holding a piece of
paper and kind of like stomping around a little angrily. Okay, I'm gonna
go down and see what the problem is. Um. You exit the bar,
and she sees you, and she stamps right on up to you and
then shoves the piece of paper in your face and says, what is this?
It's your bounty? Okay, all right, listen, all right,
I know what this looks like. I know, all right, what have
you got yourself into? So she she gestures towards Um the Sheriff's office in
light of the recently are you involved in this? Who else is here?
There are a couple of people in the street, but she's being really hushed.
I mean, there's are there are the rest of us here? Yeah,
I'm going gonna say, ma'am, you mind going somewhere where we can
be a little more honest and discreet. Make a persuasion check, and sean,
make a deception check. All right, and now you'll just reck the
roll one insight check for the both that nineteen get fixed, so something that's
fifteen. She squints at you, Matthias, uh, kind of not believing
what you're what you're putting down, but she'll she'll oblige Warren and and quiet
up for now. Way the way, Uh, we we had a what
was the place where I was staking out there? It's that um bullshit.
I only got up there because I have that shadow step thing, so I
probably can't bring everyone up into that little kind of alcove esque plays. Um.
I don't know what I know anywhere. I fucking lived here for a
long time, but I know anywhere A disagree. Um, you have a
m let me think you probably have like a cousin or something that might live
in the city. I mean, you don't know what their deal is.
But the city's large enough that there are like empty alleyways. UM. I
will say, there is an adbandoned warehouse, but teenagers often use it to
um do teenage things like what teenage things? Um, well, you know,
like underage um ingestion of new wine stuff like that. WHOA, I
thought we were supposed to be the criminals. What the fuck is this?
Yeah, just some teenagers casually doing some payote. Oh my god, Well
that's a bit of an escalation. I bet they're breaking ocean violations too,
Those criminals, those criminals. Um okay, well, warehouse isn't great honestly,
it's pretty bad in fact. Um, But if that's the only place
we got, I mean, UM, make me a history check and m
I might give you some more finally. Okay, sixteen Okay, you know
that there is this one house kind of on the outskirts of town that um
legally cannot be put back on the market due to how fucked up it is.
But um, the people that own it are not willing to spend the
money to fix it up. It might still be there, but it's been
it's you've know that it's been in that state of like empty, no one
taking care of it for like a few years before you went into the ark
Wind long time. Okay, well, I would like to check it out
regardless. You go and check it out. In there a pierced PEENU one
there all right? Then I will gesture and kind of lead everyone inside.
Uh and I, um, she's gonna talk with Is this a drug?
House. No, no, it's not trust me. Yeah, I would

Just kidding, mom, I don't do drugs. I promise I'm clean better.
B Yeah, it was just to break the break the tension and it
all makes you. It did not You did not do a good job.
But that's my bad. Let's just go inside, all right, you go
inside the not a drug house. Um, it's empty except for all the
drugs except for No, there's a lot of um ratshit awesome. That's so
cool. Um all uh kind of all claim if our chairs or anything to
set down on almost you want to be like you umb, you might want
to take a seat, ma'am. All right, that's not how I thought
my they would go. Yeah, well, um, some things are more
important than the span of twenty four hours. Uh. And I sit down
and I kind of gesture for thiast I guess, um, and I say,
what's your feelings about Hydro Collective? Well? Uh, not really big
fan of you know, having pretty much all my basic needs put through them.
But I mean they're you know, they're they're they're keeping the pace,
they're they're doing they're doing their business, keeping the peace. It's an interesting
way to phrase that. Well, yeah, I mean they make sure that
um no, no, no one gets too rowdy and too too you know.
They keep a handle on things interesting. They control the important stuff that
sold, no one else fights over it. What do you think, Dolly
Pine? Oh, I don't trust her? No, well, I don't
trust rich people. M sure, sure, yeah, launch a weasels.
I must ask what is your opinion of your son? You love him?
I'm assuming, of course I love him. Uh, and she'll she'll give
you give, give mathias affectionate touch on the knee. But you know I
wouldn't be too happy if I found he was running around with wrong kind of
folk. Would you do anything for your son? Okay, well, define
anything. I'd say I do almost anything. What are you on about?
Let's say hypothetically, you're so was kidnapped by the most powerful person in the
entire world. She was held captive like this and was ghastly into thinking that
you were no longer her parent, and that time has gone by and that
nothing you ever did to impact your life ever mattered. Well, I'd say
that'd be and extremely fucked up situation. And I would do my best to
try and remedy did. Granted that doesn't sound too realistic. Oh boy,
boy, do I have a story for you. You see, Dolly ban
is currently possession of my daughter. In fact, she staged her death in
front of me approximately five years ago if I remember correctly, and as she
killed my order in front of me and forced me to a depressive spiral in
which I ended up attempted to take my own life. Now I've come to
understand that I've been given a second chance for some reason, and additionally a
way to stop Dolly Poe Because in the structure of this order, in the
structure of everything that the Hydro Collective provides, there is a rot at the
center of that structure, and it goes really really deep. A Dolly pot
who found in this place is not the same person she is now. She's
been corrupted by the same power. She wheels over everyone like a big stick,
ready to bring it down on any dissidents. So I ask you,
would you do anything for your son mackay persuasion check for me? Oh not
seventeen for a total of twenty five. Uh. She looks at you in
the eyes, uh, and um, you can like tell that your story,
like definitely like hit her empathy button. Um as she kind of leans
over, Um and uh, you know I would, And then she takes
out a gun. What were you keeping that blop on my dress? I've
always had it? Damn see I got this strap in my thigh. Oh
I thought that was a rock? My bad? Could I have a frock?
Well? I kept you just happy to see me? Um. She
uh kind of hold up the gun a little bit, ponders it for a
minute, and says she looks at Mathias, what do you need me to
do? Well? Um, right now we're just planning things out, but
our end goal is to get revenge on Dolly Pine. That's all that we're
doing right now. We haven't We're not like, we're not making the process
to run in their guns ablazing right now? Uh? Yes, four twelve
dash G nine. I see that you have something you would like to say.
What if we just zaudry? What if we just use Sam's insanely high
charisma to one by one ask every single person in talent Dolly Pine. I
was thinking that same thing, just what are you killing? And they're just
like, yeah, okay, um, that was my question that was a
really good question. Here's what I'm gonna say, Um, if the populace
knew about Alice, that would be a huge problem for Dolly asked them all
to kill Dolly Pie, Like there was a reason why Project Alice was kept
so secret, Like, oh, we've got those papers on, Yeah,
you have those papers on like a glance, I mean, like the papers
make it out like Alice is some kind of inhuman entity, which, like
Warren, you have no recollection of. Um. It's like but also like
just at a glance, they're keeping what is now um, a young woman
captive m against her will. Yeah, all right, that's actually a pretty
good approach, and are like kind of experimenting on her. Miss A couple
