What you were about to experience will contain violence, disturbing imagery, adult themes,
and may leave you hungry for power and blood. Procede at your own
risk, Oliver, You have run yourself ragged trying to figure out what's wrong
with your brother, linking together crack art theories, conspiracies, old texts,
new texts, the events of the last few months. Where exactly is your
head swimming in books? To be honest, when you don't know what's relevant,
everything seems relevant. You know, doesn't matter if it's a book from
a thousand years ago or the day's paper. Oh I could do another coffee
though. As you trapes across the probably rather messily decked out office at this
point, you get a phone call and you're filling up your your coffee mug,
you realize it's from your contacts at the the science lab. I see
her somewhere. Why, hey, uh olly, Jackie, how's it going?
Yeah, it's going all right, cool? You're right, yeah,
uh it was. It was a bit of a crazy happened happened stance and
all that. But I remember you mentioning you were looking into a very old
book and there were some people at work talking about it around the lab and
uh, yeah, I figured you'd want to know about Was it Hector's tome
actors? Yeah, Hector? You tell me people were talking about it.
Yeah, yeah, I they said there was a place that you could find
it. Well, I mean they say it's in the secret library. Yeah,
that is what I mean. Actually, why do you hear that?
But that could mean anything. Well, there's reports. It's probably just a
metaphor anyway you keep books. It could be a library in this box which
I call the library. Yeah, yeah, fair enough. I mean they
said that there's a very specific way of finding it, that you check out
a series of books. They say they know what the books are, the
books of the Code, the books of the Yeah, something about Manchester Central
Library having a a checkout thing. I don't really get it. None of
the kind of books you take out. Of course, they'd have to protect
it. Someone would have to protect it, someone at the library. Wait,
you tell me you know the books? They said they know the books.
I didn't none. None of them really have anything to do with whoever
the hell Hector is, though, I don't know. It seems a bit
weird to me, but I thought you'd be interested because it came up.
Well, Hector could be person, it could be a theme, could be
a pen name, ghostwriter, it could be anything. That's just what it
is known as. That might not even be the name of the book.
Yeah, I guess I hadn't really thought about it, but like if you
I'll text you the list of books. But yeah, I just want to
say, we're talking about it in your in your lab. Oh yeah,
yeah, just came out of my boss. My boss mentioned it. H
what's your boss do? Well, I know what your boss does? Runs
you Well, yeah, well, we lab. We were talking talking about
old stuff for war back, but like she runs, h she runs the
lab. But like she we're dealing with necrotic tissue at the moment, and
we were dealing with a bunch of old skeletons of our backs. So it's
like skeletons. Oh yeah, like carbon dating and stuff, all right,
yeah, yeah, but yeah, we switched to it was narcotic flesh,
not necrotic dead dead flesh, dead flesh like the stuff that lives. Yeah,
it's kind of gross, but like the stuff that lives on it,
the chemical process that go on all of that. Your job's kind of creepy,
Jackie. I think it's fascinating. I'm not gonna it's it's fun working
at a cancer lab. I suppose that's creepier in it. Yes, all
right, point take and point taking more interesting science. Your your boss was
talking about the secret library in Manchester. That okay? Who's your boss?
Uh? Miss Ellis? She was like Alice, she took over a little
while back. I mean, ye're well, you've got promotion. Yeah,
yeah, sorry, don't ring your bell? Yeah? Can you send me
the list? Yeah, I'll expect you to you. I've got to Actually
I don't remember it, but I'll get it from my mate. I'll send
it to you. And yeah, you and your brother are okay. Yeah,
he's a bit under the weather. He's all right though, Well give
him, give him my best, Yeah, of course, of course,
Thanks Shacky, I owe you lunch. Sounds good to me, Thanks,
Shaky. Okay, that's it, h everyone else you see Ollie conclude a
phone call, and despite looking like shit, there is an interest in his
eyes that you've not seen in a short while. What was that about?
Oh a phone call from a mate? Well we gathered that much. Sorry,
Yeah, I'm looking for a book. A book that can help us
us and I think she's figured out how to get it. Well, we
always knew what it was, we just didn't know how to get there.
But it's real. What does that mean? What do you mean? All
right? Do you know the concert to have a secret library, like a
Masonic lodge, Information that's guarded and kept for people's benefits, safe and hidden.
Yeah, Season six, episode thirty eight, right, supernatural? Right,
so season seven, episode five, they get their own secret lab,
secrete with it. Right. Yeah, it's like a bumper. I don't
know what it looks like, but I think it's in Manchester Library. You're
saying, there's no secret supernatural the Sonic bunker in our library. It doesn't
necessarily have to be supernatural or paranormal at all. But there's a paranormal book
in it. Well, it's probably full of paranormal books. Well, books
that retain to the paranormal, rather than the books themselves being paranormal. Isn't
that the same thing? Mm hmm, Well, I mean the books aren't
a ghost, they're not phenomena. I've already written freaking or now that's she
started, sort of, But we have a password. We go to the
library. Yeah, all right, man, I'm gonna make you something to
you dude, you're you're flagging. Yeah, m what she reckons is books
books, right, Uh, there's a series of books you check out and
then that will flag as a password, saying yeah, that's it's kind of
cool, clever, kind of cool. This is a secret library. What
obviously the super secret supernatural Bunker library is also cool. But the idea of
your password just being a series of books you check out in a specific order
is incredibly clever. Yeah, and you can keep changing them if you need.
Yeah, Ollie, I don't think a t is going to fix what
you got. Yeah that the sheets. Man, Wait a minute, Wait
a minute, wait a minute, Jack, does that mean if we get
access to the database, we can see other people who have checked out that
same series of books and have accessed the library. That's worth the shot.
Give me that list and then take a nap. Dammit, I'm fine.
Look, you can't take that apart. You're not fine. It's like saying
THEO it is fine, we need this book, don'try. Oh yeah,
you're fucking look at your hand. Oh my god. Okay, whatever we
find can be found in three hours you can take a nap if you want
one. Well, it sounds like he doesn't want one. Yeah, fine,
just push through and then I have a kid later this book. What
if there's something in the library? What oh? Books? Yeah, I
mean something other than a book that requires you to be on full alert.
I'm perfectly fine. That's what I'm here for. And we're a bit tired,
that's all. You ain't going to stop him from going to a library.
It's like fucking seeing a pig and ship. He'd live in a library
if he could. I could try a refresh ritual. You can lead a
horse to water. Right. How about that list? Hey, uh,
that's all right, it's on my phone. You're not going to that library
without me. We're not planning on going without you. Did you not hear
the part where right now he's not hearing? Ship Jesus about the following?
All? She needs the list so she can we can look and see who
else has checked out the whose access the library? Oh yeah, yeah,
of course, of course we're going to the library or not? Yeah,
alright, I uh, I send a message with the books, with the
specific books. M all right, I got time to do this or what?
Yeah? You got time. I should do this first. We should
probably go now though. All right, we'll go right as soon as she's
done. Uh josh, what's the plan? Can I attempt to probably grabbing
Actually maybe I have a shitty laptop. If not, I'm grabbing keys and
I don't have one anymore. Oh do I have a shitty laptop? Yes?
Yeah, So I am going to try some hacking. I'm going to
try and get into the records in the Manchester Library and see what kind of
information I can get about who's been checking out these books. That sounds like
an intelligence plus tech to me. Okay, and hmmm pretty successors. Yeah,
you pretty pretty easily get access to someone else's account through their online checking
out portal, and you take a look through the database and there is there
are three people who appear to have checked out those books, and only one
who appears to have checked them out in the last week. Okay, and
what names do I get? You get a mister Elm, a missus Oak,
and a mister Willow. No, check this ship out? What is
it this? They're all trees, mister Elm, missus Oak, mister Willow.
Yeah, okay, yeah, these are not We're not we don't have
real names here. Sorry, that's just to be clear. Josh, you
said mister all three times, mister elm missus Oak, mister Willow. Okay.
I wonder if there's an address associated with that library card, any one
of them. Address. Usually library cards do either address or phone number.
I think with your technology, Uh no, how you can get a phone
number, but you're pretty sure that the the address one two, one two.
The phone numbers might be legit, but the yeah, the the addresses
are definitely made up. Then they're not quite one two three fake street,
but it's you know, about as close as you can get. Sounding in
Manchester. It's like something boring like number one Trafford. Like, these addies
look bunk, but we could try the digits. So I'll take those down,
and you want to start making calls? I look at Diana. Yes,
yes, I'll start making calls. Hunt Master. Do I do I
have any nullge of any of the things that are going on currently with my
like connected father or anything like that, have any of this like lore knowledge?
No? In what sense? Like would I ever like would my father
be part of something like this? Would he know people who are part of
something like this? Would I be aware of this kind of organization, this
specific one. I guess it definitely seems like something he would be involved in.
But no, he's he's not. Okay, well, he b knows
who it is, but unfortunately Kala does not. God damn it. Dang
yep, okay, cool beans. Uh, yeah, I'm going to try
these numbers. I'm gonna say, hey, suck Diana. Yes, maybe
I should try like reverse look up on those or something that I don't want
to like tip our hand, you know, I mean, all right,
Yes, that's a good idea, Josh. Can I try a little more
sleuthing here? Can I see without calling people, if I could do some
kind of reverse look up? Okay, are any of these to look for
names? Not necessarily addresses, but maybe names. Yeah, intelligence investigation m
kay m two successes. Pretty quickly you find out that two of them are
made up. Okay, one of them connected with mister Elm, is not
made up, but also doesn't appear to be connected with an address any form
of account. It's not like it's been entered anywhere on the internet before.
Yeah, so I don't get any more information about that, got it?
Yeah? You know that the only one that is legit is the one that
was on mister ELM's Okay, I don't know, Diana. I mean it
looks like mister Elm. That might be a real phone number. But yes,
I'm not sure how it I'm not quite sure yet. If it helps
us to make a phone call to them, that's what I We could hold
on to it, but perhaps we go to the library first. Sure,
what do you think? Yeah? That sounds good. Ollie, what's the
ritual you were talking about? Ollie? Hey, he's dead on his feet?
I yeah, what's the ritual you were talking about? Refresh? Can't
hear you? We could do a sleep debt ritual? Sleep debt? Yeah?
What is that? Yeah? The concept of sleep debt? Right.
Yeah, Sometimes you're busy and then one night you sleep like twelve eighteen hours
sleep debt, catching up on sleep that you missed. Well, we can
take it from essentially the future now and then I can sleep late. I'll
be fine. Yeah, I don't like it, and then that's just wow.
Uh I think if I think we should do it, yes, if
I may, Uh, it's superiorly better. If you are feeling you're useless,
you're useless right now, if we get into that library, you're not
even going to be able to decipher a book. I uh, get me
something bidegradable that we can scatter, sugar, rice, salt. We have
enough sugar for the tea, so yeah, I'll help you. And what
else? H We need some water? And I got chalk somewhere. We
need chalk? How many? One to four pieces of chalk? I got
chalk? All kay, I'll grab the sugar, and then we've got to
make a big square right with the sugar or whatever it is, doesn't matter,
big enough that We're gonna all stand in each corner, and I'll get
in the middle. I begin drawing a square. Feel, get a cup
of water. Hi, water? Oh? I start pouring a puddle of
water in each corner of the square that's been drawn right now. All right,
we'll take your shoes and socks off. Just start doing that, all
right, Yeah, pick a corner and stand in it, okay. And
then I found everyone a piece of chalk, and I sit in the middle,
all right, starting with feo fo right one on the floor just in
front of your feet, right in numbers or letters? All right? H
that numbers? I don't yeah, numbers as long as they represent the number
one, number one, but I one or just one, just just one
doesn't matter. I remember one time I got in trouble because you have to
put like a cut of o's before it. If you reckon, it's going
to go high enough, you know that. But it's only going to four
fil And I was doing like I did a bit of logistics work. I
did down by the old alright one like that, yeh, as long as
it represents the first and now the second h is that right? Third?
Number three and four on it? Yes? Okay, old the chalk in
your hands, because at the end we're going to have to snap it.
Okay, And what happens when you need to pay this back? I'll sleep
for as much as I need to sleep. And when does that happen?
As long as you okay, at the end of the ritual, we're going
to snap the chalk in half. You're going to keep off, and I'm
going to keep half of everyone's as long as we've all got off, that's
how long you'll last. What do you mean and hours of days? Well,
ah, there are reports of this happening for years. I don't really
fancy that. I'm thinking a day. Wait, what, you won't sleep
for years? No, I'll just catch up the sleep that I've had before.
And the second you get rid of the chalk, or I'll get rid
of the mile of the chalk, that's when I'll have to pay the debt.
So we have control over it. It's just whenever you get rid of
the chalk. Yeah, got it. Sorry, You're usually a lot easier
to follow. It's been a long fucking couple of days. Yeah, all
right, is everyone standing in the water numbers? Double check all the numbers
are written? All right? Does anyone know Latin? Yeah? What?
Of course I don't know Latin. I'll barely know fucking English. All right,
repeat after me, Quad quad quad the day There I volume Moose,
Mose Joe on it volumes. There we go as p chay moose as as
per the chamus oculay May the day, the day Band the very Tatum to
them, Merritt to the very, tag him to the very ten Tom snapper
chalk snap chalk, actually physically snap the shop. Oh I snap it right,
I also snap up the chalk. Yeah, all right, kid off,
putting your pocket in your bag. It doesn't matter. Everyone make intelligence
occult rolls. Wait wait wait wait wait oh yes, sure, absolutely,
yeah everyone, we should not keep this in a bag. Can we just
put it in a ziploc bag and put it in a freezer? Do we
have to have it on it otherwise it drops? Okay? Second, you
get rid of it off your person. Okay, great, I go and
I get a ziploc bag. Uh. Yeah, I go and I get
a ziploc bag. I'm going to put my chalk in it and then I'm
going to pierce it on my necklace so that I'm literally wearing it underneath my
hoodie because I don't want to lose it. It's not the most perfect,
but I'll feel it if it goes anywhere. Sorry, what are we rolling?
Intelligence? Occult wonderful? Okay everyone, Ollie is looking so much more
alive and refreshed, and like the bags under his eyes disappear, it appears
to it'll stop yawning. Yeah, seems like it's worked. Okay, that
was easy, and it live an eat to sleep again. You got to
pay it back at some time, bru give me them chalk pieces in my
pockets, arm and a leg on red ball. Hey, can we do
another one? It gives me an extra inch. You think you really need
another? You're a Mason son. Yeah, no, you're right. Be
too much, wasn't it? And be greedy? Right? Are we going?
Okay? Well? Yeah, I looks ready? Right, Library,
Library. Everyone bundles in cars and all sorts of stuff. And I was
wondering on the trip there theo what is preoccupying your mind? To be honest,
even though I would never show such a thing, every single time I
stepped foot outside, I'm a little bit more paranoid than I've ever been.
And I think I have a continual, you know that feeling when you're a
bit too tired. And every shadow looks a bit like a person, every
tree looks like a weirdly shaped, looming individual, and everything kind of looks
like that to me, not to mention the fact that my mum's been walking
around following. So it's a bit of a sort of a subtle paranoia.
I would say it's preoccupying me mostly, although I do chuck on some tiesta
and make it nice and loud, keep us all awake, keep me distracted.
Is there anyone do you think that would notice this? If anyone stood
a chance, it would probably be Ollie, but he has been so buried
in his books that he hasn't seemed to pick it up yet. It's possible
that I doubt Jack would. We never really got too close. Yeah,
but I'm pretty fucking observant when it comes to Yeah, Diana and I have
stayed up many nights drinking and chatting ship. I've been dealing for Cala for
a month now, two months, three months, so we've hung out a
little bit. So Yeah, I don't know. Really. I suppose he's
down to them free. Either you can decide, or we can leave it
to a role. I think we could roll for it. Mm hmm.
Yeah, uh, that seems like a wits insight role. I'm imagining that
whoever wins is the person sitting next to him while he's driving his van.
Well, to be honest, when I'm driving my car, it's always all
he sat next to me as well, on account of the fact that I
wouldn't have him rolling around in the back of the van. True. Yeah,
I've been too distracted. There's no point gak Cleo appears to be distracting
himself. Hm, I'm just gonna tug on his coat his elbow. Hey,
h you hanging in there? Man, Oh yeah, I feel right.
It's Ryan me brand now. Just that you keep kind of like,
you know, staring off, looking a little alarmed here and there. It's
just not I mean, you're not on like twelve things right now, so
uh yeah, where I'm on eleven? No, just keep my eyes open,
you know what I mean? Now that we know there is stuff out
there. So you just freaked out, Well I would say I'm freaked out,
but just keeping the eye out, do I you know I've got some
sort of weird disease going on. Yeah, no, I get it,
man. Do anything you want to talk about, uh like a Tottenham or
something. Look, I'm just you haven't seemed right since you left the hospital.
And I know you're worried about the mark and I know you're you're fucked
up, but you got anything on your mind? I suppose you're seeing any
dogs around? Well I ain't seen no big fucking dogs now anything else.
Ain't seeing the big cats neither. Pretty funny, you're good man. I'm
fine. I've been through worse than this by the flu when I was ten
once. You know that was pretty rough. Yeah, this isn't the flu
with you? It looks pretty rough. All right, Well we got your
back and just always ride his rain now, so just try to stay calm,
man, I'm perfectly calm me. Don't worry about that. You want
one of these pills? Yeah, hold on now, if we can't light,
you're gonna have one. Ahowo, these little things. He's a calm
you down. And no, no, no, you're probably freaking out just
as much. Yeah, you have one in our life. One bottoms up.
No, look I don't think you should. I'm good you one for
me. Yeah, you'll feel brand new because I know this sank wrong with
me. You and all you're looking at me like I'm looking at you.
All right, man, as long as you're good. Yeah, I'm doing
all right, just as well as everyone else. And now that we know
there's all sorts of things go and bump in the night, you know what
I mean? Yeah, they're fucking iss. I think I raised my voice
a little bit at this point and just say, all right, round up
the troops. Who wants to go to the library. I did. We
were we able to recover anything from the drive. The drive, Yeah,
the thumb drive, Connie. So the thumb drive that I think is still
in progress. Okay. I can do a role for it when you get
back to the office. But yeah, yeah, that's that's in progress.
Okay. Yeah. FK asks about that, I'll just say it's still processing.
Okay, don't worry. I'm sure we'll get some data. Reconstitution is
no feat. Yeah, okay, I assume we're there, right, we
were driving there, right. You had this conversation while we were in the
car. Yeah, unless anyone else wants to have any other conversations. You
arrive at Manchester Central Library, which is a huge building. It's a huge
round building of graystone, and it seems pretty warm and friendly, given that
it's the large building in the center of town. It's still open and you
go inside. Olly, you have well, in fact multiple If you have
a list of books, which you reckon came first this library or the other
library, I'll be the egg in it. Every which is the egg.
Do you get a load of crazy books and then think library? Or do
you have a library and find some real spicy books. I think the other
one went first and then they built around it. What a better place to
hide a little library than in a little library? Yeah, maybe makes sense.
It's got to take some books out, some obscure fiction. You grab
a highly technical non fiction book on Plaine Fuselages. You grab four books until
you get to the last, which is a bit more appropriate for a secret,
special magic library, and that is the Hieroglyphic Monad by John D.
Plite. You have all of your books, remember reading this in Uni very
dry? So what happens now? I don't know. I guess go and
check him out, all right, Maybe we should spread out. I don't
think we should cluster up at the cask. I agree. I immediately move
away, and I'm gonna kind of position myself in an aisle and be looking
at a book angled so that I can kind of see him and anybody around
him. This is a modern library, so it's electronic check out, and
go through all of them, and from your perspective, all of you,
the library gets significantly quieter somehow, but the place you are does not appear
to change. You can't hear the chatter of students. You can't hear the
fan circulating air. You can't have footsteps. I look around, Do I
see the others? You do see all of your comrades, Prince. I've
done it all right, what now, m I checked the text again to
make sure I got all the right books. You got all of the books
in the right order. Ah, maybe it was the wrong books. Let
me let me see. I'm gonna check my list against his books. You
won't say I open, says to me or something. Huh. Maybe it
seems right. Check those are the books and won't see any doors. Maybe
it wasn't good information? Shit? Right? Should we check around for doors?
It maybe opens something in you. It checked for hollow walls? Oh
god, yeah, that's it. That's a wooden desk. Feel well,
let's how you check you on not for it? Does anyone notice when Theo's
walking around like banging on stuff? Does anyone like look at him or anything?
Uh, that's entirely up to you. You are the only people here.
Uh huh uh h well, I suppose we could simply say hello,
were the only people were starting to look like it. There was a table
full of students, have there? Yeah? I think we're already in the
library. I think that was it. This is it. We're here,
all right? Well, how do you find your book? Ally? Ah?
I was gonna say fiction, but non fiction Hector's grim bare? All
right? Let's look. You can probably put those down. Yeah, I
searched on the machine for Hector's grim. The machine does not work. Oh
it's broken. Are the books now different? Uh? You look at the
titles. They seem pretty normal for this section of the library. They don't
seem like X y Z's Magic Tome of Bible. I will investigate and look
around to see if I can find like what we're looking for, either the
section or something that wasn't there before. Investigation. Yeah, wits or wits
investigation? All right? Two cala. Yes, you start walking. You
trace your finger along the books, and nothing seems to change about the titles.
But you do realize after a very short period that once you have walked
down one of the aisles, you are now significantly confused about exactly where you
might be because you thought the aisle ended at this point. And then you
look back. Are they still there? The aisle continues? Oh shit,
so I don't see them anymore? Colors walked off? Everyone else? Oh
fuck me? Okay, can of us see which direction she went in?
Yes, yes, she went down one of the aisles s marked. Hell,
I will follow that. I'm going to head down there. I just
start walking. We're just splitting up and looking, all right, getting up
and looking for clues. I don't know if split up the library. Nothing
bad's ever happened in the library first time? For everything? Is everyone going
in the same direction as Cala No. I assumed we were going to go
and try and find all of us to try and find it different. So
he told us it was called Hector's Grimoire, and he mentioned fiction, and
I changed my mind to nonfiction. Then you changed your mind, okay,
allowed like in front of us. Yeah, okay, I probably headed to
non fiction if I didn't like see calla Disappear. Yeah, I probably headed
to nonfiction looking for Hector's Grimoire. Josh, of all the rumors I've heard
of Hector's Grimoire, do any describe what it looks like? Uh, it
would be. The assumptions are that it would be in the style of an
old, large hand bound volume, not very thick. This is not a
vast encyclopedia or something. But it is yeah, very old, quite likely
bound in some sort of animal skin. I'm gonna look down there. It'll
be old, probably leather, probably a bit homemade like Etsy kind of stuff,
but obviously not from Etsy, I follow. I'm casually following all the
way around. I think I might be solo unless they want the same direction.
Uh, let's find out it is not the same direction. Jet.
So in that case, Ollie and THEO you begin walking, and again,
this endless aisle eventually encompasses you in both directions and their conversation while you're walking
no conversation at all. Does this all get longer? It all looks same
to me. I don't know. It's the rest of the library. Yeah,
I don't like that. I say, I'll pull a gun out the
library. It's a library, is it. I grab a book off the
side and just have a look at what it says. Uh, this one's
probably more up your alley. It is probably in a long dead language,
but appears to be recipes. It's a mesopotaining for food. Oh, bro,
do you know they used to put fish oil in everything the you know
salt today? How is that the same thing? Well, fish oil is
salty, so they did have salt, yeah, but it was in the
form of fish or they didn't to refine it. Well, probably some people
did they have rock salt. What if they got the fish out of a
non salt Water Lake. I don't know. Yeah, it's bo. I
can't believe everything you're reading the book, but you can well. I prefer
things that I can see, even though or about that book you've been reading
Alan Shearer's autobiography. Fucking brilliant, mate, I'll tell you that blokes a
genius. Alan fucking Shearer. Yeah, I'll tell you what. Without him,
we would have had absolutely bloody nothing during the nineties. Nothing, not
a single fucking goal pulled that whole team together in England. Yeah, but
that's not a high bar to reaches. It a state of them. Shouldn't
we be in the section that's E for rector H. You're right, H
for hector Ah. But this seems to be recipes recipes for what food?
Just? Why is that going to help us? Say? I'll grab another
one? Is it also food? This one also appears to be MESSI pertaining,
but it is slightly is more of a diary of someone. I think
we're in the Mesopotamian oile bru. What's that supposed to mean? What is
that hot fish? Is it all right? No? Nah, it's an
error of people, if you will, right, So this is sectioned errors.
One was Hector's grimoire. What era was hectors gremoire? Maybe Roman sounds
about right, which is not that useful because that was a large, very
large period of time. All right, these are all in the wrong language.
We need to find Latin classic. All clear. Yeah, you can
look on the shelves up there. Well, I'm going to another difference between
Latin and massive Blitanian. Am I all right? You've got a point there.
Hey, you said Latin earlier. It was good. That was I
was joking when I don't actually know Latin. The fuck are the others?
Jack? Do I hear that you do not? But Ollie, you see
a figure of a man walk down from the direction you were headed towards you.
Yeah, I mate, Good evening, gentlemen. You appeared to be
lost, looking for something lost. Oh yeah, we're well lost. We're
looking for a book about a bloke called actor in Latin. M And I'm
assuming your friends are as well. Yeah, big place. I had to
split up. M. What does he look like, Josh? He is
quite tall, very short, calier. He's a black man in a very
fancy suit or at the moment he looks comfortable in his suit jacket. But
he seems a little bit dressed down. Business casual dark academia preferably, but
yes, business casual. Did you know they file Roman Era books per emperor.
I yes, I do believe I would be able to find that for
you, actors Gromois. That'd be brilliant, mate. It is part of
a private collection. I would like to know a little bit about you before
blending it right, what I assumed I'd already passed the test. I'm a
researcher, m h. I'm trying to help me brother, and this is
the only place with the book that can help. What are you trying to
help your brother with? Let's start easy. What are your names? Molly
as Feo very well? I suppose you can call me mister Elm then mister
elm h. I think my brother may have picked up a hets and I
am attempting to learn a bit more about it. Fascinating what manner of hets?
Oh? Yes, I've heard of that going around. Yeah, it
seems to be going around everywhere. I don't seem to work out well h
m hmm. Tell me about how he got it. You have my interest.
That's up to you, fear, big dog, big dog of course
with an eye of fire. Now that is a little more interesting. What
do you think this big dog is? And I'm I'm very sorry. Would
you like to have this conversation somewhere a little more comfortable? Your friends must
be quite lost? Yes, please, if possible, of course, follow
me. And he begins walking, and eventually there is a turn in the
aisle, and right there around the corner are all of your friends. And
he doesn't stop when he meets them. He just takes another turn and opens
the door into an office. I think he's a librarian. He's been very
helpful. All right, all right, I ain't found shit, so go
with him. I one in. Can I roll anything to look at this
guy and see if he's moving on? Naturally, I'm terrified of vampires after
the last encounter, I trust no one. Okay, composure investigation, Please
please fucking pass please if anything, for the love of god, sorry,
what am I rolling? Composure and investigation? Okay, okay, okay?
Please please please please please please please please please please please please please. That
is two successes? Would you like to spend? Oh? I got oh?
I guess you did one before, didn't you write? That's two successes
again? Though, yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes, I will absolutely do that. How much more am I rolling?
On top of that? That's three that's three D ten for a willpair
point fuck three successes. I'm assuming you're doing this because Calla is suspicious of
everyone everyone. Well, also, we're in a supernatural librarian. Who better
to keep track of a library for a very long time than a vampire.
Mm hmm, that's very true, some sort of supernatural creature, I think,
uh, I think that's possibly what goes through Calla's mind. She doesn't
notice anything weird. Specifically, there is a vibe, maybe of a man
mysteriously in as little intimidating, and he sits behind a very large desk with
an array of you full pens and books on top of it, and a
large scorch mark in the middle. A good evening, everyone, I am
very impressed that you all found your way here. Your friend, ol Ollie.
That's a little bit better, Oliver. I had some questions, and
I am more than willing to have a conversation about anything you find interesting.
I'm not entirely sure how your library works. Is it a lend? Is
it a trade in an honor system? A lot of it is built on
exclusive access to a certain group of people who earn their way in through an
honor system. And I dare say you've all taken the first step today,
picking up on an earlier conversation, and feel free anyone chime in before I
hand over Hector's grimoire, I would very much like to know what you think
This big dog, and by extension, the mark is Werewolf Church grim an
omen hm hmm. That's where we first saw it, right, brother,
you saw it in the church? Yeah, it was another It was a
priest also at the mark and someone else hm hmm. Josh, do I
feel compelled to answer his questions or not in the slightest? Okay, I
I find that interesting something. I've been looking into it for a very long
time. What do you imagine this grim is an omen of h The rumors
I hear is that the people who receive the mark die. Yes, I
can only postulate from our research, but everyone we've known with the mark hasn't
survived. Fear is the only one living with it. Mm hmm. I
postulate that it is in fact some sort of omen, perhaps a mark.
I try and be quiet so THEO doesn't hear me, But I mean he's
in the room, so perhaps marked or death. That's very interesting. And
at this point, Oliver, you hear this man's voice in your mind say
something drastically different to what he says out loud. He continues his line of
questioning about folklore Omen's death. But in your mind, do you hear Oliver
Mason, is there something you would be willing to trade? I don't sub
vocalized in my head say my brother, Yeah, anything, Yeah, wonderful.
I see you've already attempted magic. You can see that. I can
see a lot. It was a simple misdirection ritual. Why would you want
to do that? You're not across these people now I do. I trust
them to try and look after me, and I haven't got time to look
after me right now. I need to look after a feel. If it's
time you're after I can grant you that as well. At any time I
need information. There's a puzzle and I can solve it. If it's the
last thing I'll do, I'll solve it. Actors, grimoire is yours.
If you solve the puzzle and survive, please come back and I will exact
the price. I agree hmm, well, thank you everyone for indulging my
curiosity. I think you are all worthy prospective members of my society. Ah,
before I lead you to the bromoire, is there anything anyone wanted to
ask me? I got a roll for it, becausa I'm an idiot.
Oh yeah, I'm so sorry you've I feel like you've got a thing on
your minus two to indulge temptation. So whatever you want to roll, roll
that minus two. M If I have a minus two, I don't even
need to roll. I say, are you a vampire? Yeah? Hello,
yes I am. And you've got a question. Then what's your question?
THEO? THEO? Theo? What is your question? You're right?
Long enough some of your blood LEO? He doesn't, he doesn't. I
think we should. I think we should leave. I think we should leave.
I think we should. Probably we got what we came in for.
He asked you a question. I've got a question. I know, and
I've already been accommodating enough. Perhaps we should go. Is there any trade
for it? Very expensive? Yeah, I've got uh, I have already
got any books. I've got Alan Shearer's autobiography. Thank you. I believe
that's already in the library. I mean, he is the top goalscorer of
all time in the Premier League. So that's a pretty good book, you
know, if you read something. I mean, what do you want those
books or sucking nice pills? We should come on for you, for you.
He doesn't want it. We're gonna We're gonna leave his sass and some
good fucking ship. Look they're black. Look at him some black pills before
fucking grab him. Let's yeah, no more questions? Are you sure?
I am booking it out of there? I'm terrified. I turn as he
keeps asking that, and I just I I look at him, but I
don't say anything. But every time he asks, I yeah, I'm like
trying to push the oar out the door. But I'm also literally shrugging her
art. What do you want for the blood, dame? What do you
want just a little bit? Miss d Are you sure? There are no
more questions? How do you know my name? I know your family?
Do you very well? How well Diana Day? Your name might Diana Day?
You can't trust anything that he says. We need to leave. Yeah,
an ancestor of yours was very close to me, Diana before he died.
Whatever became of your family now, Diana, don't less than are you
still involved with them? I leave? I'm sorry, I leave. I
will not be with non directly. I can't wish you go. I begin
to leave, but I'm still looking at him. I'm like looking at him,
but I'm like backing out of the room. Please. When you return,
ask for mister Jones. You still owe me for blood bags? Oh
no. You exit his office and you find yourself in a bizarre part of
the library. Next to the checkout. There is a returns cut with a
single book on it. Ollie, you recognize letter in scripts says the word
the name Hector on it? Just a returns card, a cut or cut?
The book is on it? And is it? Is it a small
red book? As you said, handbound? M hmm, that's good.
We should go, we should go, we should, we should bullshit,
this is we should? We should the first I'll be looking for one of
them for fucking free months. Yeah, well, he runs the secret library.
I don't think you should be askin him for Look, just ship what
he runs. I don't give a fuck what he does for his fucking night
job. What the fuck was that all about? Diana. You okay,
what's he talking about? It's a long story. If you're all willing to
hear it, perhaps I can say it back at the office or something,
but we should probably leave. Yeah I have left. Oh shit, yeah,
like I booked it when you guys were continuing to talk to him.
Once you leave an aisle, you the sound returns. Everything feels like a
pressure relieved off of your shoulders, and all of you returned to the entryway
of the library with Bolli and did I bear the blood bag? Comment?
Oh? Absolutely? Ooh great, mh Can we go now? Yeah,
let's go back, please, lok sake. I take a bag out of
my pocket and I pop another pill. You can't trust anything, right,
He was just toying with every single one of us, like cat and mouse.
Yeah, yeah, they're all fucking monsters. How do you even know
that that's the book that you need? Slash want good point. You look
the what's the word? The rumors about this book appear to be true.
You start at the beginning and it's almost a diary of a man called Hector.
He describes himself and the language is weird in this It is not a
normal script of Roman is difficult to read and slow, but it appears that
he describes to himself as an adherent of Few Days the God and chronicles his
journeys with other pilgrims. And slowly it goes on, and I'm assuming unless
there's anything anyone would like to do, Olie is nose deep in this book
the whole way home. Yeah, I think I'm a little shaken by what's
happened? Is anyone riding with me? Or am I alone? Let's see
you? I was kind of trying to pull you out of there, and
I don't know that those guys were Did we all meet at the entrance or
like, was k out of vision? But yeah, I met you guys
at the entrance. I would assume, Okay, it's like, can we
go now? So yeah, I guess it would have depended. Does Diana
ask anyone to ride with her? Or does she No? I think I
just walked to the car and assume if anyone wants to ride with me they
can. But I, yeah, I feel I don't feel like imposing on
this group any longer. Really, So I've been taking more of like a
backseat kind of well frenzy because it's my car. But you know what I
mean, I go where Jack goes. I think, yeah, I think
if since Kay was shaken, I would have said something to you, like
at the entrance, like fucking monster, right, all right? Yeah,
I just don't know why we continue to talk to him. What's that shit?
He was saying to Diana. I don't know she's gonna tell us how
to get back though. All right, let's go, let's ride with her.
Yeah, okay, shouldn't be alone. Hey, yeah, we will
hop in the car. What are you gonna be okay to drive? What
do you mean I'm gonna be okay to drive? I wouldn't I be okay
to drive? Didn't I? So? Is that a yes? I literally
just just get in my van Almond Van Helden starts playing really loud. I
turn it up, Ollie, ollie, h yeah, it's the one.
It's the book. It's real what you just gave that to you? Yeah,
he didn't want anything. He said they were on the honor system.
Monsters don't have honor. Yeah, can I tell if you're flying? You're
right what he did say? It was on the honor system. He did,
But I know you're hiding something. That thing, Uh, that would
be a manipulation subterfuge versus uh composure inside calor and we will see the result
of this role after the break. All right, are you tired of the
mundane? When you look up at the stars? Do you think there is
more to this than the blue planet you stand on? Are you among the
best and brightest and yet fields like nothing is a challenge? Then join us
at xo Aviarium. Every day we discover something new that helps shape our realities.
Whether it's clean energy, medicine, new food sources, or anything you
can imagine. Xo Aviarium is here to change the world or the better exo
Aviarium future. In the br Calla and Ollie amongst all the others preparing to
leave. Calla stopped you and asked if he wanted anything, and that both
of you probably pause for a moment. Calla, are you feeling suspicious or
just on edge from the encounter both? Ollie, you say, this is
the book. It is clearly by the marks intrinsically linked to the interests of
monsters. Okay, so he gave you the book, but for what I
think he doesn't know what it is. That is too foolish for you there's
no way you no more than a vampire librarian. I didn't say that I
know more than him. But maybe he can't figure it out. It's a
puzzle, so he wants you to figure it out for him. And then
what he's to take it and use it? And what makes you think you
can figure out whatever? However, old vampire can't figure it out because it's
the that's how they get you, though, get me what. I'm gonna
figure this out, and I'm going to fix him. He's not going to
fucking die. What if he's already gone, don't fucking say that he's not
gone. He's right there. Look at him. He's not gone yet while
he still breaths, well, I still brieve. Don't fucking say that he's
not gone. I won't know it happen. I can figure it out.
I can figure it out. He just needed more information. I can solve
it. Are you already gone to gone anywhere? Because when I look at
you, I seen me three months ago, and I would really like to
save you that pain. You already kind of walked down me once. I
don't know why, I don't know what I did, but this isn't about
anything but saving for you. If I had to talk to a monster to
get the information I need to figure it out, I'll talk to hundreds of
them. It's the only good thing I've got in my life, the only
thing I'm proud. That's not true, And I don't think one thing.
I don't think he would want you to throw your life away, potentially endanger
you us him, He says, I'm proving my life away. No deal
with a vampire is ever good. Period. I went to a library.
I've got a book, and when I'm done with it, I'll put it
back. And you don't really believe that to you, Well, I would
have already read it. I don't need to keep it. I I used
to admire you. Why you're smart? You are smart, seemed to kind
of have it all together, like you'd be a hunter that could survive anything.
Where are all my heroes going? She problem, heroes? See that
chalk throw on the floor. No, okay, don't find the chalk that
she wrote on the floor, and I'll throw it on the floor and you'll
see that. I'm still nacked, not together, falling asleep, yawning.
Why would you do that? I'm not a hero of a lie and I
would cheat to save my brother. Don't fucking look up to anyone, not
me. I really don't want to lose anybody else. And I understand that's
incredibly selfish. Am I the only one that learned three months ago and what
the monsters are? Monsters? Yes, and that you can't just use them
when you want. They're smarter, they're faster, they're better, they will
win every time. They're not fucking better than me. I won't make the
same mistake again, Ollie. Just don't have heroes cover. Yeah, I'm
starting to see that be done. No, I'm going to do everything I
can to try to save your brother, my friend. Yeah, me too,
thank you. I hope I'm wrong. I don't think I am.
I'll see you back at the I'm gonna ride with Diana. Yeah, m
was there any conversation anyone wanted to have on the way back or should we
return to the office, because I know there was some research things that Jack
wanted to do. Well. I imagine if Calic gets in the car and
is visibly emotional. I don't Yeah, I don't think I am. I
think that is ably emotion No, nope, okay, cool, I'd sick.
I get in the car. I mean, it's clear we had a
conversation. But yeah, I think I'm packing it away if I can.
I'll roll against you if you'd like, because I feel like you're pretty perceptive.
Yeah, I would like to read her a little bit. Actually,
that's all right. Yeah. In fact, I've kind of been like a
little bit on the I would say I've been on the hypervigilant side of everyone's
kind of vibe, especially when it especially when it like refers to me.
I think she's being quite like self focused in terms of like are people mad
at me? What is my placement here? Who am I? Now?
They definitely don't work for me, So what's our deal here? I'm not
the boss. I don't know if anyone is like chill with me? So
yeah, i'd like to then, Diana, that is wits in sight and
KNA that is subterfuge and manipulation. Oh well no you don't. I don't
even think you after role. Well we both rolled horrifically last time. Yeah,
refuge and always bad manipulation. Yes, sorry, we'll find some better
sheets next time. Uh, you pack it away? I think you probably
see Diana like trying to everyone out yeah, but review mirror kind of like,
yeah, yep, so yet So in that case, unlet's kay,
let's add something. Jack. You're back at the office and you had a
question for me. Yes, are you referring to the drive? The drive
an intelligence tech role? Tell us to see how close you are to cracking
it? And I believe you probably of some. I was wondering if you
had any preparations in mind as the resident drone expert and tinkerer, the things
that you would like to get ahead off. M. You're asking specifically about
my drones. Whether it's drones you would like to make something else. M.
What are you getting at here? Master, I'm not I'm not suggesting
anything. But given your hunting a big dog, you are hunting a woman
called Eloise, you have a another person tangentially related to her. I think
that conversation I'd like to have with Ollie at least Ali to talk about the
relationship there, because that he knows about it. I've told him about it.
But that woman that I pulled out of the house shares a last name
with Eloise, and that's interesting. Okay. Yeah, if you tinker around
with the drive and it is slightly frustrating. You feel like you're closer,
but it's still potentially a long job unless something goes awry mm hmm, in
which case it might be indecipherable. Okay, but at the moment, it's
just a very difficult job. Sure, it's just going to be processing.
So yeah, jack Bolli you have puzzle pieces. Mm hmm. Jackie is
Yeah, Yeah, I don't want to pull you away from your book.
You're good. I'm gonna need to get a kiped soon anyway. Yeah,
yeah, you just say when. By the way, I still look absolutely
fresh faced, like I've just had a espresso in the morning and stuff.
Yeah, that was pretty incredible. You surprised us there. Hey, what
do you make of this? Uh? Joanne? This eloise the connection?
They're like, what is it with these family ties? Well, could be
coincidence they have the same name, could be an affectation that they've taken the
name, or they could be related. And I couldn't get anything out of
Joanne. Nothing do you told me? Did you tell me about that scene?
Yeah? Yeah, so you know all about that, and you know
that they share last name. You know that I tried to get her to
give me any information it was like she was just wiped clean. So I
an amnesia and she wasn't messing with you. She was being sincere. I
mean, I don't I don't think she was in a position to mess with
me. I I she was almost a corpse when I found her. I
saved her life. We managed to find anything about her, any info Master,
Have I found anything? I assume I would have looked up the names
Eloise and Joanne Masters, and have I found anything about them online? I
think it's probably, Uh, it's possible to find very basic stuff like a
closed Facebook page, anything that tells about potential relation. Uh, I think
that is something that Diana would be able to access. But it's yeah,
there. Their presence seems to be pretty uh surprisingly quite locked up on the
internet. And they looked quite similar to the description I've got off Jack and
the description I know of Eloise. Yeah, they look like they could be
related. It sounds yeah, definitely a relation. Mm hmmm mm hmm.
You know. Okay, I checked. There's an one a random ware.
We're kind of alone here, m hm. All right, so the name
Eloise from my contact, my contact is my contact is dead. Wait,
since when, since you're not trying to tell me that you've been communicating with
the dead. No, but she's been communicating with me and she's only ever
done it twice maybe three times her now, Allie, but that's where i'
that's where I've got name. How do you even know you can trust that?
Dude? Ali? You are in some shit? Man? Fuck?
She was there when I lost to use in my legs. She was what
do you mean? What she your friend? Allie? Split it out?
Man? You got me on edge here? What the fuck? I stayed
in her eyes for four hours while I watched the life drain out of her.
She was the only woman I ever loved. Oh my god. And
anything she tells me, I know she means it. Well, I'm sorry,
shit, sorry, all right? And you can't contact her she contacts
you. I haven't tried. Okay, Okay, God here and some ship
man, And I mean, I know Diana's gonna talk to us, But
what was that ship about, Diana? D H. I guess we should
just ask her, id I don't know. Look, he's a monster,
we know, are they fuck with you? Yeah? You know the only
thing they can you can trust from him is that they will be a monster.
Yeah, I do fucking know. That doesn't mean that there might not
be some helpful information. But yeah, he might not have even a jack,
Yeah, I mean some shit jack. Yeah, they were definitely in
some ship made a deal with him. Fuck, w did ali? Yeah?
How the fuck do you get that book? Man? You didn't just
walk out of there with that book? He asked me why i'd give to
save the fuck me? What did you say? The truth? Anything?
Oh? Golly? Fuck mm hmm. What the fuck are we gonna do?
The only thing you can possibly want? The only thing ship? Man
ship? I think I kicked the desk and then think better of it,
Like, alright, man, all right, we gotta we gotta kind of
walk together. Kind does this mact something she does? Yeah? She called
me in the car. All right, all right, all right, well
I guess you know we can't tell THEO ship. Okay, I have to
say them. That is not your job, allie, It's my only fucking
job. It's my job. Since I was saying, I don't know,
man, and now I'm in a position where I can properly help him.
I don't know if you've counted the cost. They're not just for you,
you know. I don't think end they make straight up deals. A look,
I'm gonna help. Maybe that's not what it is. Maybe that's what
is. What do you mean when I was I was feeding callless and bullshit
about Maybe he just he can't figure out what it is. Maybe this ancient
fucking being who literally leads people can't figure out the puzzle. And he thinks
again, all they do is set traps. She's not gonna fall for that
ship. Did you read her? She's not She's not stupid. Man,
h Look, I don't know. I don't fucking know. Okay. All
I know is you do the job in front of you, and the job
in front of me is to save my brother, no matter what cost.
All right, if you say so, ill I don't. And if if
that cost is my life, if that cost is, I don't know,
that's worth it. That's worth it? I guess it is if you think
it is. But dude, I'm gonna be so pissed if we have to
kill you ass all. If I can, you fucking kill me straight away?
Let's not me. It's a monster. We know they will lie,
we know they can make you believe whatever they want. But if I don't
you fucking take my head off. Fuck you. H I do the same
for you. Yeah, all right, ya fucking deal. And what's the
worst that can happen? You know, I don't think I want to know
the answer to that. Look that this book is good ship. This book
is good ship. I hope this guy what we need. I don't want
to talk about fee Days. It mentions the black Heart, it is,
Yeah, Fee Days is okay. The lines are blurred either a ruler or
a type of a deity. Okay, what about the black Heart? I
don't know. I've she This could be myth, this could be hearsay,
This could just be a way to explain something. But she sealed the dark
heart with her own life. I don't know what that means yet. Even
I can't read that first. Yeah, Free Days is a god in the
Roman pantheon, the god of contracts. Okay, So I don't know.
I need to read the book. But maybe the mark is a seal.
Maybe it's not necessarily being marked for death. Maybe it is a seal against
Maybe the mark is a seal against something. Maybe the mark is not the
problem. Maybe the mark is just what appears like a side effect. What
do you mean, maybe like a side effect. Maybe what it was in
feo, the mark is protecting him. The mark is really over my fucking
hat. Ali, Maybe that's what it is. Yeah, it could be
a side of afect of what's happening. But I don't think the mark is
the problem. The hood we saw covered in marks, right, he was
going around killing people with the marks, taking the marks. The marks were
his protection against whatever his sick idea of his god deity. He thought he
was working for a god. He said his job, his work was divine
all this shit. Maybe the seal is stopping the dark art. I don't
know. I think you might fucking be onto something there. Sleep. I'll
be quicker than this if I wasn't. You often make me wish I was
murdered. Ah, you don't to be like me. Fucking hell. I
support Tottenham for fox sake. They have went in weeks. Right, Maybe
you should get some sleep, I think, uh, I think Diana wanted
to have a chat with us about that whole D thing. That could have
come out better. Anyway you're gonna enjoin that or what. I'm just going
to enjoy that d thing sentenced a little bit longer there, right, I'm
good. I'm good, all right, So I think at this point I
will walk out and rejoin the others and probably ask if Diana wants to fill
us in on anything about the DA. Thanks, thanks, buddy, Welcome
Diana. You're in the office. What are you doing, how are you
feeling? And how do you again? Yeah, I think I'm like,
I have a cup of tea and i have a spoon in the tea and
I'm stirring it and it is no longer hot. So I'm just kind of
standing there waiting for everyone to congregate, feeling quite nervous. Yes, well,
I suppose you all deserve answers. I had thought I could keep it
well personal matter. But my apologies for being thrown in the library. I
was born Diana Dee A craft is a name that I chose for myself.
I come from a long line of hunters, well known and well regarded.
In my family, there is a tradition each generation there are two children born,
one as sends to control the well the business as it were, and
the other is a hunter. The hunter raises the future hunter, and it
continues down the line. So I was born a hunter. My brother runs
the business, My uncle Reese is who truly raised me. I was delivered
to him at a young age. But when I was fifteen, he died
in what I believed was a hunt. My father put me to work,
and as of very recently, I have learned that there is another tradition in
my family, that tradition from which I believe to be a dark magic.
It turns out that my father sacrificed my uncle Rhese to prolong his life and
keep control of the family. And when the time comes, it is expected
that my brother will do the same to me. So kill you, wouldn't
we yes, sacrifice for the family, I suppose you. I will raise
and train his youngest and then I'm not sure about the details the information regarding
age. I suppose it could happen tomorrow, but I have time still.
It is up to Martin Sorry to prolong his life. I believe it's to
keep control, prolong his life, keep control. Just I suppose it's for
the dynasty. When we were in that room and that gentleman librarian referred to
me as Diana Dee and said that he knew of me, I couldn't help,
but I want to know if it's possible to break the deal that my
father has made. It's with an entity, I believe, to be honest.
I only found out about it recently, what's curious, And I was
going to eventually bring it up, but we've been a bit busy since THEO
my father equally has a mark on his hand. It is not the same,
It's not the same mark. It is different, but it was reminiscent
of the self same mark that THEO has on his And would your father know
about Theo's mark? I doubt it. I I doubt it, and I'm
not even sure that if he did, he would tell me. He seemed
he seemed utterly convinced that he couldn't tell me anymore than what he did.
But I do know that it is linked to a deal with an entity.
So perhaps that is a direction that we can focus on. Perhaps these marks
our deal with an entity, some form powerful one doc magic and all no
deals with no one? Though? Do you know of anyway anyway we can
get a little more information from I don't imagine your dad's going to cooperate.
I suppose I could inquire along the channels. I could doctor Martin if he
was willing to. I used to be quite close with Martin. I meant
to kill you. Sorry, sacrifice same thing. Yes, that doesn't mean
I don't love him. Still funny thing a heart, Yeah, uh,
there is a yes. No, it's all right. Your friend Carla,
our mutual friend. I was wondering if you had a way to get hold
of him. I've been unable, and I think he deserves to know what
happened to Reese. H. So yeah, I'll go over to my bag
and I'll get out his number and I hand it to her without a word.
Thank you. That's a funny word, deserve. Yes, perhaps a
better one is own. H. Yes, you said your father's mark was
different. Yes, it is s like this, And I show you a
copy of the Hieroglyphic Monad written by John d. You see a symbol on
the front of a book that is a circle with a dot in the middle,
a semicircle at the top that makes it look like it has horns.
Underneath the circle is a cross, and then a kind of m meeting the
bottom of the cross, with curves going out either direction. Diana, it
does look very similar save for the cross. Yes, it's almost identical except
for the cross. Any relation, mistery, Well, if they're distant,
yes, distant relation. H you know, Now that I think about it,
I wonder if we have all sorts of there's got to be a hidden
trove of information of some kind, now that I know that my family is
dealing in these sorts of arts. Perhaps, Oh, would it be too
risky? I wouldn't even know where to start. Perhaps I can get hold
of Martin. We could break into the We could break into the the house.
What if he's part of it? Though, like a lot more than
he's told you as possible? Yes, though that is something that he did.
I don't think I was ever meant to know what happened to Reese.
I don't think I was ever meant to know any of this. But he
forced it out of my father, basically told him he had no other choice.
Is that just to ease his guilt before he kills you? Sorry?
Sacrifice you can say, kill It's what he will eventually do. I suppose,
yes, it could very well be that. But I know Martin very
well, and he has withheld information from me for so long. I wonder
what made him change his mind again? Could be guilt, But so perhaps
we break in without his help. Trust your God on this one. It's
a long shot, and it is certainly not originally planned. And I'm aware
that none of you work for me anymore, which I must be honest.
I wasn't really looking for employees. I suppose I wanted a family. So
my apologies for how it all turned out. What hasn't all turned out yet?
So I want to just see the apology and yeah, we'll help.
I look around at the others. I look uncomfortable. How does the look.
There are points where, while she was speaking, my vision would rift
over to nothing and follow nothing across the room and then come back. I
think for the majority of that conversation though, there would just be confused.
I think you can even comprehend the idea of sacrificing a family member or anything
in that case, Kada, your uncomfortableness, where does that come from?
I think we're repeating the same mistakes. I think no one learned except for
me. I don't think I belong here anymore. I care about these people.
But the only way to be a hunter is to not do this,
to not trust anyone except not use your gut instinct, is to rely on
logic and a strict set of rules, like you cannot fucking trust a vampire.
I feel trapped. I feel like I am going to walk straight into
the lions Den a second time. But I also feel like I deserve it
because I led all these people into the lions Den last time, So I'm
not going to stop myself from going. But I'm pretty sure we're all going
to die, right, So is the plan to brook up to the d
mention? Yeah? I think. I think that's like the only lead that
I personally have to offer, so hold on. I believe that it's the
only lead that I have to personally offer, So I am absolutely willing to
do so alone or with assistance. But I'm also willing to do what we
all agree is the correct thing to do. So there is also another lead
which a computer can be followed. I was thinking the Eloise Master's lead.
I don't know about that though, any luck, I'll hear you Jack,
what about the Master's sisters? The Master's sisters? Eloise, I look at
a k real quick. I okay, it's still cooking, And then Ali,
I don't know, man, you're the brains of this sop. I
can't make as or tails of it. Diana, can you look at these
names? They're somehow laid? I don't know. Well, I look at
the names. I would like to see if they're somehow related. And if
I know that. Uh, the names are Louise Masters and Joanna Masters.
I mean seems like they would be related, but just by looking at names,
but uh, are you going to look them up with your thingy?
Yes? Okay, I'm looking them up with my global access? Does that
work? Yes? Quickly look up exactly what that does? What sort of
information? But I think the role for that is uh, intelligence technology?
And I suppose you could add your desperation dice. Ooh, can you remind
me once again how to do that? On top of the role add what
is desperation? Now? I imagine it's three? Okay? Oh really?
Oh oh dear. You can spend will power we roll out if you like.
Yeah, but the global access gives you some cool stuff. How many
do I get to re roll? Three? Oh? Jeez? I feel
like the only thing that you managed to discover is that yes, they are
sisters. Okay, and there are there's definitely more to find, but right
now it is the only link you can remember that you've already been given.
Is that Who was it that looked? I think it was Olie. Olie
found Eloise linked to some basils the church. Yeah, she was a member
of the congregate. She was she was she went there, she went to
the church, went there. Yeah. I think we also went to the
church and couldn't find her there. Uh oh right, yeah, yeah you
try. You did try looking in between episodes, but she seems to have
disappeared. Well. I was able to find out that they are sisters,
that's the relation. Other than that, I don't think I was able to
find any new information. M what is that a pairing? Mhm? Brothers?
You your brother sisters? What's with that? What do they say?
Blood? Despair? Shed blood? Yes, it would be incidents. Can
you blood save him? Okay? I told Jack. Well, Jack helped
me figure some stuff out. I don't think the mark is the problem.
We think the mark is. Yeah, it's a ward perhaps against something.
The symptom is the mark on his hand might be. And I look over
at THEO protecting him, much like the mark on your father's arms, protecting
his dynasty. I flick some holy water at THEO. It's slightly uncomfortable.
If any gets on the mark. Does that hurt you? Wow? It's
not easy to help me, you know, but it does sting when it
gets on the end. What the fuck would it be protecting him from then?
I don't know. But when I fucking of God, the Hood thought
he was doing the Zavne work? Yo, did you drop the name?
Few days you did? Did you? Okay? Oh that was with Jack.
I probably would have said it now when I was explaining all the stuff.
I don't want to say everything I said, but right, okay,
let yeah, let's say that the line was three days God of Contracts sealed
the dark Heart with her life. Sorry, God of Contracts. Roman deity
fee days but also free days is related to in certain books as a person
who existed. This could be mythology. But there is a mark against the
dark Heart which the Hood spoke about. So what them the Hood trying to
protect themselves from a contract? Or were they making a contract an entity?
Remember what I said about my father making a deal with an entity and that
is why the mark is on his hand. But in his case it's the
deal is the ward If there was no deal made, could that mark be
used for something else? I mean, you know, no, offense theo,
but you look like shit. Could it be taking something from him,
his life, his energy. I don't think the mark is I think something
else is doing that. But the mark could be facilitated it, right,
No, I don't think so. I told you Joanna's case, she should
have been dead, right, Alley, I dragged her out. I told
you she was all but dead. Well, it doesn't make sense to be
a source if the source ends. Perhaps this entity is tapping a sauce,
but it doesn't want the well to run dry. So perhaps it keeps them
alive but empty, slowly takes from them, and the more, the more,
the more the more. It could just like a rain, like a
summer rains, every drop can flood. The street mark was removed, whatever's
happening would happen all once, all the once. He would die. What
if we could ask another entity? What what if we could summon something else
and ask something that has more information than we do As a vampire, I
understand that I'm just asking something is possible risky without correct protections, even with
do you know how to risky? Do you know how to instill those kinds
of protections? I might have looked up had to summon entities, but I've
never done here. Okay, what if we already had one? That's protection
the hymn book. Okay, I'm just asking what if we already what if
we already to have one? I look at Jack, what do you two
know something? I don't what's going on? I don't think so I what
is happening? Just wondering if we knew someone. I'm clearly bullshitting. Whether
you know it's or not, I don't know. I am risking everything for
your brother, and you're going to lie to me now, Yeah, I
might know. I'm this sounds fucking stupid. No, She's right, What
is going on? I'm trying to tell you, I'm a being has attached
itself to me since many years ago, and sometimes it talks to me.
Well, I've never tried to talk back. It's Beatrice, a being.
Yeah, Beatrice your friend, a ex girlfriend who died in a car accident,
that same car accident. Yeah, okay, well that's not even what
I was talking about. Is she here now? The owners she's here?
Why? Holy fuck? Holy what? My god? That chills Well,
not obvious until they bring it up THEO. But when you start looking the
shadow similar to your mother, is also following your brother. In fact,
now you look, this entire place is haunted. Well is she? I
can't tell. She's not visiting me or directly communicated with me often. What
what? What? Yeah? They're all here? What do you mean they're
all here? A lot of people there? Oh yeah, in your head.
Don't be what she's ond like twelve things. Yeah, I mean the
drugs, the booze. It don't make them go away. Although this is
the first time I've seen all of them. Feel what you're saying. All
of them were, uh, ghosts, I suppose is what there is?
You see ghosts here? Well, for the last few days, I've only
been seeing one ghost like right now, is there no? I I I
fuck off. I don't want to know. Don't tell me if I have
any You've been seeing her since? No, no, Beatrice, no,
mum, Yeah since the end. Yeah, I ain't said nothing. Don't
really do much. Tried to frighten a bit. Salt got the silvered pipe
out at one point. I didn't really do anything. If I sort of
reach out, it gets cold. They're not real. Well that's not really,
that's not that's not really type you can see refering too. I head
over to the closet. I'm getting something in there, ruffling around for a
minute, n C B and now yeah they should look. Yeah, she
looks all right. You know you always scrubbed up nice. Yeah, we
gotta go a spisperer. Calera returns with a sword. What do you see
with this? Yeah? Is there anybody in here? I, for the
first time, am not like I am trying to touch this as little as
possible, which I think is very different from how I used to be.
Yeah, and probably wrapped up in some sort of cloth you're holding, Cleo
is not the same as the ghosts. Uh, but maybe something if you
squint real hard. What the fuck is that? Exactly? This is what
the fuck I was referring to. Yeah, I'm confused. I think there's
something in here, something being an entity of some sort in the in the
sort. Yes, you might want the kind you deals with, Yes,
the kind you make deals with? Are you making I haven't been making deals?
H it's not now that I know better. Well, where'd you get
to stay all day? What's that? I actually don't remember? Now he's
fucking lying and keeping things from everyone. I am not lying one day I
just had it. It was in my room. Can you communicate with it?
Yes? Wait, like you can talk to it? Yes, and
it can talk to me. The benevolent is it? That is not the
word I would use. Bloodthirsty is the word I would use. These soul
sounds. That sounds right up by Ali in terms of description. To be
willing to talk to it again? Yeah, sure, as long as you
get your protection stuff going. I've not really read much about actual haba.
Oh, he's going to be so mad at me. You have a familiar
feeling well up, no direct response, but it's listening. Are you stuck
in there? You feel mirth, not stuck as such? Just here?
Have you been listening this whole time? I'm not really that interested in what
most of you have to say, but when you do get going, I
do find you all very entertaining. Always the mouse. Do you know anything
that can help us? I think you're right. It's a protection against something.
Your bookish friend knows what he's done talking about. And I start to
allie, I don't know if you guys can hear it, but I'm clearly
I'm speaking out loud. Okay, can we hear the sword talking? No?
You can't hear any words. I'm actually glad Cala is receiving all of
this through intuition and feeling. Yeah, it's not act an actual like voice
voice. It's just this like gut feeling. And you know, the more
feelings that well up, the more bloodlust comes with it, the more questions
what it really really is? Is it protection from death itself? And my
eyes immediately dart to THEO and I look a little scared. Put me through
his gut, test it out. I have a minus too, I got
a roll for it. Man, I'm so sorry. I knew I shouldn't
have picked this fucking thing up. Again, I knew it. I left
it wrapped in the closet. God damn it. Okay, I'm sorry,
Brad, don't hate me. Composure resolve minus two okay, and I do
minus doing the modifier? Should I just roll? And then we see that
one success is probably not enough, unless you'd like to give me a really
good reason why you don't stick a sword through your friend's belly. I gotta
be really honest, I think I would do it. I think basically,
I've had this fucking thing in the closet for three months. I haven't touched
it, and I think I've always enjoyed the feeling that it gave me.
I felt empowered, I felt strong, I felt good enough, And I
think I have not been feeling those things at all. So I think the
rush of this feeling is a bit overwhelming for me, and I will StEB
the O in the chest or stomach or whatever. Yeah, well you'll try,
yes, try to stop me. I'm sorry, try to stop I'd
love Yeah, you think doesn't want to get stabed for the ish your fucking
massive sword around, mister paranoid hyper awaen run all the way across the room
towards me with it without me pulling out my fucking gun. I would like
to gun her down. Oh god? Uh okay, firearms and composure versus
colors melee dexterity. Do I use the artifact? Uh? I think for
speed? No firearms composure you said, yeah, that's how guns get shot
in this game. Labor and strength uh dex Oh my god? Do I
get bonuses for having my sword and using it because it's your Your sword is
always plus one? Oh my god? Kill each other? You get four
cala. You're across this room faster than anyone else can. That means I
move as fast as a speeding bullet. Holy ship. Sorry, uh huh.
And the pressure from your sword helps THEO you're impaled, but not before
your gun is and calla you get caught in the fire. One of you
goes down, one of you does not. It's me because my sword was
right. What the fuck? What the fuck? Ah sticking out of your
gut? Oh god, And this is the worst pain you've ever been in.
Oh fucking out? What the fuck? Am I like immediately down?
Or am I shot? And can say a few things? Yes, you
are shot. Okay, you can't die. That's what it told me.
Oh so you before you fucking tested out? Did you have to fucking finish
her off with you? Someone? Oh my god, Jack, only sane
one here, Move over to far Bro. I rushed to Carla. Where
is Where is she shot? Everywhere? She's probably a couple every Okay,
I'm freaking out. I'm trying to put pressure on the on the specific wounds.
It was very close range, straight through a pressure jacket the first day
box. I'm gonna remove it, all right, I'm gonna remove it.
Fuck look at me it go on, stay with me. You're gonna be
okay, and you're good, you feel Why did you step you? Because
it told me? Because the fucking sword and to stamp me with it.
I just steel. Look have to be and run through by a giant fucking
sword. Uh. He's bleeding, but not as much as you'd expect.
And yeah, this was a huge sword. He should be I mean you
watched me and half he should be dead. God, I was worth the
gamble? Was it? Looks like pass me my fucking gun, give me
that one, kick it away from him. She's right. I think she's
right, lucky that this is why you didn't die after you should have died
in hospital. Okay, we could have talked about it before she ran me
through with a I'm not disagree with you, little brother. It's the mark.
Probably pretty soon Jack, help me get her outside, so I'm not
gonna I will not make it too hospital that How do you give me that?
Give me? How does he pass it on? Oh? That's what
you're after? Is it? You want the fucking mark? And it didn't
originally? Are you gonna do drink me blood? No, I'd prefer actually
I drink some of my own blood. Probably looks insane. I'm like scooping
somehow. I'm just curious as to whether it gives me any sort of effect.
No effect from your own blood, Josh, is there anything as I
look through the book, is there anything about giving the mark to someone?
I think Calla knows how the mark has passed on? What do you true
love? Kiss? Sorry, but I don't Okay, I want it.
I think I asked for it because that's what people do when they're dying.
But I think if I actually have to tell him how to do it,
I'm not going to do it because I don't want to be a monster,
so I would rather die. Might be thinking slightly different from me, Calla.
Do you remember the conversation you had with your forum friend No, Calum,
I but doesn't in that case, Yeah, Calla would remember he said
that you can find the people that are marked by following the catastrophes. Yeah,
so what we burned the fucking place down? I don't understand. You
will have to explain it to me better, Josh. I'm so sorry.
There's there's a missing piece here. But I have an idea. As this
chaos is happening at the top of the elevator, descending down, you see
a woman, bleached hair, bronze skin, and she looks at the blood
everywhere and this the flat look on her face does not change. Does she
have fucking scars on her face? Josh? Is this gene? Is this
gene? Gene? No? I mean not that Calla would know that,
but Peebe would be like, geene, take me, let me cos on,
don't make me well? I mean name a vampire. You want to
get side by? I can make this happen, but like, uh,
THEO recognizes Eloise you again. I'm We're sorry. Who the fuck is this?
It was too late, dog keeper, that's the last time I buy
you a burger. I didn't. I didn't want it to happen again.
I I needed your help, but it's probably too late. Who the fuck
is this? I'm Eloise. I I was chased here. I at large.
It won't leave me alone here. I don't mean to be annoying,
but I'm kind of dying on the floor here. Can I try and help
her? Josh, Now that I don't think my brother is going to die,
I have some medical training. Yeah, look her over. The first
thing you discovered, she's a mark on her palm on callous, on callous,
I am not gonna die. I open her hand up so everyone can
see it for a fucking mark. I didn't want this. How was it
transferred? I don't know. Check Fo's hand as he still got the mark.
Their still has the mark. I turned to Eloise, how is this
happening? I'm assuming you know? Do you know? Explain right now?
I didn't want them to die, and that is where we will end.
No, no, my god, we do not end there. What you
carry on going, mister Joshua, I don't even know if I guess h
h m hmm. Can take off my sick filter? You got to put
it on, though, baby, Yeah, oh you can't. Is it
just the sick filter? You sent it to me? Oh? Perfect,
ages ago for something else. I just that's what I was asking. Yeah,
I am everyone, what the fuck? So dude, Yeah, it
was that was crazy. You you you worked, Peachey, you you just
worked through the problem in the middle of the episode, and you were like
brain just turned on halfway through the scene, and I'm like, wait,
did I just take it out? Oh my god? I saw that shit
happen, and I was like, well, I'm too dumb for this man.
Peech's on it. You but I'm too dumb for this. How did
I do that? Not because you're role playing a smart person so hard,
act so well and so good the other ninety percent of the human brains.
That movie what's that movie? What's that movie called? No? Yeah,
Whenever whenever I think of that movie, I then just go, you know
what, I come what it's called? And everyone's heard of limitless, So
I just yeah, you took the limitless pill? Yeah? Yeah, yeah.
Fuck. I just spam Josh with paragraph did I just? He asked
so many good questions. I was like, yeah, sure, yeah,
you get you get it. It's it's it's all there. You've also you've
also not even touched the other half of that book I gave you this session.
I literally just got it, dude. I'm going first. I'm going
first this week. You made me go last last week saying Peach is saying
with Jack where the whole thing it was? He didn't even have to tell
me what he told me about the deal, but he did, and I
was ir l blown away, like it was good. I think, really
cut deep on for what he was doing, and he needed to tell someone
the truth that I really like, did we need to give Peachy just two
two things? You're smart and you want to protect one person, and he's
like, oh, those are the only two things. Off he is gone.
It's unstoppable, the juggernaut of RP today. I feel like just about
every scene you had today was just phenomenal. Sorry, why are you saying
sorry? It wasn't It wasn't. It's just when you've gotta go, you
got. You're with a bunch of players who don't even believe in that.
You know, you don't even believe in scene hogging, so like, yeah,
it was exactly like the show, and the episode was centered around the
fact that you were the person to get this job done, this part of
it at least yea, and so he did, so that was all it
was. So you were just presented more scene opportunities, which made sense.
I don't think I didn't even consider you hogging it. I feel like everyone
was seeing but it feels like that, it feels like that in your brain.
I just I just think your scenes were really, really strong. They
were really good. Ye and I'm really enjoyed all of them stopped talking about
me. I feel weird complimenting you more than anyone else. Every day sometimes
I sit by myself and I'm like, that's a good one. Gosh.
When he was playing Regent Jones, back me up man, yeah you Oh
my god, that that character is a gift from PB from season one,
and I keep on given like you gave that gift back was even going to
be in this series, but it just kept on making sense for him to
turn up. He was so refined and quietly horrifying. It was beauty portrayed
perpose. Oh my god, I love doing that. Yeah, that was
so much fun. Thank you. I want to go next. Damn it,
I beat you that conversation. What you were just louder than me,
That's what I Yeah, Yeah, that's true. I'm I always been louder
than everyone. Oh that scene with with Cala and Uh and Ollie was insane
and like just peebe your that line dude of like where are all my heroes
going? Like what is that whole idea? And like thesis of that conversation
was so good and hit so hard. I was just like, what is
going on right now? Yeah? It was absolutely brilliant. Here I go
next. Thank you, I'm going I'm louder okay, in every scene that
gets points, yes, like you are bitch because I'm the last one to
go so except for you. But yes, you. I wanted to take
Brad the one Brad did. The scene with you and Jack was very very
good. But just as a, I had to go into the discord to
thank you for the scene after we had it, because you're always an amazing
scene partner and we had not had a scene like that this season and it
was very very nice, So thank you for that. It was very good.
Yeah, that was a good scene. Alright, the ladies finished,
You may go now I get the job done in his life original sentence to
come out of his mouth to win right, Sorry, such perfect shape.
I don't want to say because like I wanted the scene with Calla, like
you literally changed my conceptual understanding of how my character was feeling in that moment
because you affected my character, which I was like, oh shit, like
why is everything she's saying correct? And I even fucked up in the middle
of scene because I misheard you, but you just pushed with it and I'm
like, oh, it's still going. It didn't break. It was.
It was phenomenal, but someone already gave a point for that. So I'm
going to give a point to myrgles because when she shouted at the end like
she's got this posh accent, and then she said right now, she went
like proper like angry English, and it was perfection. I was like,
she's English. It it's so hard to shot to shot. Let me tell
you something that really difficult. Just did it right? Then. It's so
hard to shout in an accent, is what I'm trying to say. But
putting on an accent, it's you're like, think, it's you have to
think like you're trying to role play, improv so you're thinking what you need
to say. You're listening to what someone's saying. You come up with like
what you would normally say is a response, but you're filtering it through another
person, this other character, so it's not just having a normal conversation.
You're like, well, my charent would probably say this instead, even though
it's similar to what I was maybe thinking, their reaction might be different.
So you've got to think like that, So that changes what you're going to
say back dialogue wise, you usually then you have to think, like,
well, how do you even say that in an English accent or an American
accent or an Irish accent or something like that. So you go through this
whole thing and it's so difficult to do, and if you have to say
anything louder for me personally, I lose. I lose the accent in it's
so difficult to shout in an accent. I picked up on it as well.
Pet I was like, how did you do that? Posh English accent?
Very propable When you lose your your your temper or your shouting, You're
not like it's so hard to do because you're gonna fall on English. That
was great accent. Thank you, Thank you so much, Thank you really
well. No, you've got loads of pressure for next week. Yeah,
I can't wait. Just come back and full Monty Python accent. What are
you doing over there? Right? So everyone for next week? I don't
know whether because everyone gets a point for their character. What do you want?
Do you want a skill point? Do you want an edge point?
Like? What's everyone most interested in? M I'm going into the final episode?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, okay. Rather I'd rather have
a skill point than an edge point because or a background point, I guess,
but I have a skill point. Will take my accult up to five.
No, that's good. Yeah, yeah, skill points or a perk
for everyone or a perk. Thank you master, thank you very welcome.
We're a fucking episode, just like brilliant episode. Just casually meeting the person
who's basically the prince of the city. You know, it wasn't casual.
I was dying in gems off screen. I was I lost. It was
gone, wait to hear the rest of the book that THEO got. But
yeah, they got a book to bro Alan Alan Shearer actually scored thirty one
goals over the ninety four season, and then the next year, the very
next season, you got thirty one goals again, which was the top goal
scorer for both of those seasons. And then after that Peach Harry Kane top
Harrycane. He's in eighth place for everything scored. Not to feed out in
the middle of that, I was going to try and all of them,
I feeded out them. That was going to be his final words as he
died. It's just that entire thing about treasure. Well adds that. Everybody,
we have a post credits scene. But you know what, since we've
gone over, just go and follow all the links. To everybody here.
There's all sorts of things going on, unless anyone has anything very special going
on this week that they want to announce. Anyone got any new projects or
anything. New announcements? Two new announcements, but not really, No,
not really. That advert was pretty sick. I'm going to buy whatever that
was. Yeah, I think I need it. No, I didn't think
it was possible, and I'm still not sure. And here, of all
places, Corvin Castle, the look upon you is an odd sensation, but
again impossible. Who are you? Shape shift up, skin changer line?
There you are. I thought i'd lost you. I am convinced that I
had lost you. I suppose I am convinced I lost myself as well.
What am I looking at? Who are you? Jeanne? Do you forget
your friend's face so quickly? It cannot be, can it not? Why
are you here? Jean Do you mean in this castle specifically? Yes?
I think I have a soft spot for hungry. Perhaps I'm helping some friends.
I'm taking them to God, I suppose. And it felt fitting here,
felt drawn. Perhaps I knew you'd come and find me. Says You're
home? Close to it right. I don't think I've been here since.
I don't understand, Jean. It was magnificent and you swept across the country.
Maybe you'll go home? Is that why you're here? To go home?
In or Sova, there is a piece of land that overlooks the river.
I purchased it not long ago. It was the place I was born.
While I am there, I recall an odd sensation, something similar to
love, comfort, family. But this vision in front of me conscious something
else? What is that? You cannot be real? Jean, touch me?
I am. I saw you burn? I did burn? Yes,
then, how I believe it was God? Not done here? I have
much to do. What deliver all of us to God? All of us
or just your friends, all of us? If they wish? Your friends
are salubrity, I track them here. What are you doing with them?
They are to guide us all to Gaconda, and I am to guide them.
That is their wish. Yes, I've read the scriptures. You believe
it to be true. I do. But Lionel, are you not still
in the chaos and cacophony? Do you know? I was a captain of
the Hungarian God. The last time I was even close to hear I was
freed by the woman who turned me. That was the first of many dominoes
that led us let us here. I cannot believe that you are real,
But then again, I have had a transformative few years, have you.
Your Prince de Grel is the reason that I became prince. Oh oh,
the year that you burned. He was the one that set the catalyst that
led to his own death and then my ascension as Prince of Manchester. Did
you like it? No, it was not a plan that I was prepared
for. It was not a plan that I had wished for. And then
something else, an ancient ventrue fee Days I believe I've heard of that.
Yes, she came to us, but she too burned. Thanks once again
to your Prince de Grel. He set the anarch on us on fee Days.
But now that the dust has settled, Manchester is just mine. Do
you feel free? But it truly be? Eugene? Yes, yes,
I think, yes, I believe there are no other Venturu giving me orders.
And finally, after all this time, I am in a way free.
Yes, a freedom that I didn't think to seek until we met,
until you had me consider another path. Hmm. Should I apologize? It
was but a fleeting thought until you burned, until now finally I can choose
my own path. Oh what are you saying, Lionel? Since I can
choose Jane, I choose you. So that's why I'm in this castle hay
Ah. Perhaps you and I could travel to oursovera. Are you willing to
help as well? Jeane? I can do anything I want. Can I
know where this life goes when I stop off with a step? Si?
Ta? Where do I go when I'm not? Can I know when this
line goes when I start without steps
