Welcome to Blank City. Nowhere an actual Planthology podcast with many games, many
characters in one weird world. We are continuing our game of Tim Hutchins's thousand
year old Vampire. Joining me today to be the vampire is Brooke Aaron Smith
Almost done? Vampirey. That's true, We're almost done, but we're out
of main cast members after this. That's interesting. I wonder what will happen.
That's interesting. Who knows Berdie gets to be the next one? Be
funny? I would like it very conceptual here at the end of our second
season. Yeah, anyway, so today, Brooke, are you ready to
be the vampire? I am ready to be the one thousand year old vampire.
Wonderful You're not exactly a thousand years yet, but you're getting there.
Also credit where it's dude. This season is happening because Brooke found this game
and was so enthusiastic about it. She brought the idea to me. I
have my own game. You got a second vampire, yes, that I
play by myself. So this is your side vampire. Yes. In my
other game, more more serious things have been happening. So the guy who
turned you in that game wasn't named Baron bongator ade. First of all,
in here, No, that's not what happened. You don't have a pet
bear, not yet. Well, we'll see what happens. Maybe I'll have
to take some of the energy from this game and put into my the solo
games just for me. I don't play that. You can't hear it anywhere.
That's just for Brooke. I don't even know about it. There you
go, There you go. So are you ready to begin by rolling your
dice? I am, I'm excited, wonderful. Okay, I hear that's
right. Okay, the ten is an eight and the six is a three.
Okay, so move ahead, five, let's go, move ahead,
trump forty five. Your body is undergoing further corruption and change. When do
you first notice these changes create a mark? Okay, so I'm already looking
very fucked up. Yeah, correct, that's the medical term. Yeah,
you are fucked up. Yeah. Let's let's go over your marks real quick,
for it's been a while. Let's see here, because yeah, you
are quite a sight. Let's say, here you go. So you have
like artful scarring and like visible veins on your cheek and jaw. You have
shark teeth, you have permanently messed up veins on your left wrist, you
know, sovere burns and veins from the nose down. Yeah, I forgot.
You're like a vertical two face situation. Yeah, so let's give a
little bit of a recap. I'm still in Chicago. Yes, I have
my little child, your sewer kingdom with and the bear cadillact. Yes,
the bear. I think I have put the bear in a cage in the
sewers. Okay, out of fear. You were like, maybe this isn't
the best idea, But I was just thinking, like, I don't want
him to run through the sewers and crawl up into someone's beautiful inside pool that
they had in the nineteen twenty the terrible legends of the Chicago sewer Bear.
Yeah. I don't want to contribute to that. And I have a child
to think about. Yeah, so little question. You can give me your
insight? Am I going out in public a lot these days? I mean,
I mean I think you know, you still got to eat, so
that is part of it. But I don't know how much you're trying to
be like a person about town anymore, Like the days of trying to be
an actor like in Kelsey's Game A Long Long Gong right, and public school
system in Chicago in the nineteen twenties existed or not? I think, boy,
Let's see Chicago nineteen twenties. Four features of nineteen twenties Chicago public schools.
I'm trying to decide whether I want Lana to go to public school.
Right, you're gonna send her private school with your vampire money, whether she's
going to go anywhere. I want her to have a good life. But
maybe I'll homeschool. I have, you know, hundreds of years of experience.
Well, I'll say in the twenties, Chicago schools were built to have
more room for a natural light and more space for people to move around.
Also, modern plumbing systems and new materials made bathrooms more sanitary. According to
this history lesson. Four features of nineteen twenty Chicago public schools. Their reflect
changes in education. I found on the internet. Great, so it sounds
like it's okay before No, so I think I am taking her to well.
But I believe it was maybe who brought up the very or maybe it
was either Rebecca who brought up the very good point of Mona sine a lot.
How do you know she's not gonna tell someone. Yeah, that's true.
So are you tutoring her? I guess I am. Yeah. I
think that I am making her my rim Field. I know you mentioned that
about other people, but I think she's going to become my little assistant.
I can't see a good life for her otherwise she goes in the foster care
system. That's a mess. Yeah, she goes and rats me out to
the town and then I get chased through the sewers with torches. I don't
want that. Remember Charles Basker, who was also still alive, but nothing
came of it. So men On would be rolling in her grave to know
that this has happened. Okay, Yeah, So actually she's living with me,
so I don't think I'm leaving a whole lot at this point. Okay,
just to say is like, I'm not so concerned with like people seeing
what I look like. Right I think I'm sort of stuck here right now.
But things are deteriorating more, maybe because of how I'm living in the
sewers. Sure, I can't imagine that's healthy for anyone, vampire or human.
I think that I've lost a hand. Oh, okay, do you
want to be the one that had the bad veins. Yeah, let's give
us a little bit of like a mulligan. There, here's something good for
you. Yes, it's rotted off because of the damp conditions in the sewers.
Sure, yeah, left wrist down in the hand, but vein left
wrist gone. But here's the thing about me, I'm not wasteful. Sure
I got fed to the bear. Oh that's good. Nice. How's the
bear doing after eating necrotized vampire hands? I'm not that concerned about it.
Like what's left there? Is it just like a stump does a heel?
Yeah, it's healed pretty neatly. If you saw me, you would just
think, oh lost. Yeah, that Spanish fluid that just went around was
terrible if it were modern day. And if we get there a prosthesis,
could you yes? And then I would file for disability. Great, this
vampire is going through showtime, shameless working through maybe so very funny. All
right, So that's where I'm at. So when do you notice these changes?
Is it just like when do I notice I'm starting to deterior? What
happens? Like? When do you notice? Do you just like you're just
gesticulating during a lesson in your arm pops the hell off, and you're like,
oh, I think I noticed it sort of slowly it's and I think
it's gross, so trigger warning. I think like this, I noticed the
skin on my hand and it's my less used hand because I'm right hand.
You know, maybe it has something to do with it starts to like almost
get very moist, unable to keep dry. That's never good for anyone,
regardless of status as immortal. And the skin story starts to go, and
then we get down to it doesn't just fall off you like in real time.
That's no good. And it's the left hand, good God, And
maybe it has something to do with my other mark with the veins. You
know, I don't know a slow a slow acting rock. That's that's rough.
Well give her a hand, ladies and gentlemen. Needs all right,
all right, where we put this memory? Good? Let me see what
your memory situation is right now. Okay, so I think you're full up
on memory, so it might be time to start. Yeah, you're gonna
need to forget, oh my god, to remember that I my hands so
seared into your mind. When your hand rots off that it deletes something else
Okay, So I think I'm going to keep the memory of Baroness Madeleine catching
my hand because that like led to this, So that's all of that unholy
we just got back. Yeah, I remembered it so it could blink out
of existence again. Though, well, no, I think I am actually
going to go sort of chronologically and that I'm letting. I think that I,
as I exist in the sewers and I'm away from society, I'm losing
like the Manners training that I had, which means I'm also losing the move
to Normandy and the fleeing to Paris, like all this genteel sort of like
aristocratic life is leaving. So it's listed as a bland memory because there was
a prompt to like literally flatten out something, right, and I think even
that, yes, I'm becoming like an animals like the bear love it.
Yeah, hold on, change the text too, so it's completely gone.
Yeah, there we go, Okay, forgotten. So new memory Mum dang
hand fell off, yes, which is I think it's kind of sad,
you know, this notion that like she's she's losing her ties to humanity,
but she also is like having to raise a feral child while doing it.
Yeah, I mean you're you are a single mom who works, uh who
knows how many jobs more than to your teacher like breadwinner and the handler yeah,
sanitation engineer. Yeah. So it's it's a little bit of a term
for her, I think, especially because it was like we had started to
go this way and then we're pulled back into society by learning to cook,
which was cool and that was nice, and now because of this betrayal and
this force down to you know, hibernate away from society, we're back on
the down. Like fuck it. Okay, I'm not you know that atomic
ghost was right. I'm not a human. I'm a lobster of some kinds.
Yeah. Yeah, it's sad. We'll see that. If we turn
around, you grow a new OPINDI. Oh cool, Well let's make it
the hand e log. All right, give me some more dice roll.
Yes, the six is a four and the ten is a nine. Okay,
so head five again, head five again? Yes, okay, moving
on. That's maybe that's good. Maybe it's not good. But we're at
fifty. Hmmm, it doesn't look good. Okay, prompt fifty like a
you were captured in a trap set for predatory mortals? What sort of criminal
are you taken to be? How does this experience help you learn better to
better prey on mortals? Make a new skill that sours the purity of a
pleasant memory. So okay, luckily they don't want a vampire. So yeah,
and she was like, pyr mechanics. This is positive because you're getting
a new scale. But also you're gonna so let's break this down. So
what how do they trap you again? Not thinking that you're a vampire,
but you're a criminal of some kind? Yes, I mean I think my
crime that they think, and this is this is my commentary, sure is
homelessness. I think they think I am like, you know, like a
like a vagrants living in the sewers, which you're not allowed to do.
That's certainly not legal, sure even if it's not hurting anybody. So you
who are having to do it unfortunately, and I have a kid there,
so that's oh, no, islana going to be taken from you? I
think. So if I'm thinking like narratively, I don't want this to happen
to Molly Sharp. Here's the thing. It doesn't say that there has to
be like a consequence like that, so they could try to take them from
you and then you just like kill them on stage. But roscreen, well,
I don't even think it's killed them. I think that maybe just because
of how like the system was in the nineteen twenties, like child welfare may
not be at the top of people's list. Sure, maybe I also hit
her behind the bear, you know, or if they were like get out
of your kids, scram and that's the extent to which they you know.
I don't think she's gone forever. I think you've been separated for a short
time, so that isn't good. I though, you know that I'm sort
of like little animal creature living in the sewers, right, But luckily and
unluckily, homeless people often don't get the help they need and are just released
until like don't be homeless again. And I think that's a similar situation here.
And I think that because of my child, I keep it together.
So in regards to like skills that I've learned, I think that so it
says to sour the purity of a pleasant moment. Oh yes, the skill
of the good let's see what Okay, So what good memories do you have
left? Good memories. Teaching my sister to shoot guns was a good memory.
I think feeding better and getting back into modern society was a good memory.
The wars were not good. Does meeting Charles Anan count as a happy
memory? Even though he betrayed you? I mean, I think that soured
itself. Yeah, so that one's already sour. Gotcha, just sleeping one
hundred years feel good? You know what did feel good? I think discovering
the series of tunnels, which was sort of the sewers. And now I
think it's like that is soured. It's like, oh, well, if
I hadn't done this, maybe I could have found a better way out of
things. Or it's like I can't believe I had to do this in the
first place. Yes, but you know what, actually it's fucked up.
I had to live in the sewers. I hold humans responsible for this,
and we'll add this on to it. This will be my own little self
impost thing that I think does a character. I don't think I'm going back
down into the sewers after I get released, Okay, But my skill that
I've learned to go along with this, I think is like weaponized incompetence.
Oh, this is some shameless shit like using the system against itself. Yes,
that's my new skill. So like I if I need to now,
I think that I can sort of manipulate the system and how it treats like
quote unquote, like criminals may just be homeless people, uh to my own
ends. Right, this is like does this makes sense? Yeah, it's
like realizing that like the world has changed so much, Like this thing called
bureaucracy exists now they're not going to necessarily just shoot you in the street right
with witch hunters anymore. They're going to put you in the drunk tank first,
and that gives you an opportunity to like fuck around. Yes, yeah,
so I may be making a bit of a comeback. I'm not going
back to the sewers. I'm gonna find my kid and we're going to use
the welfare system. Nice. I'm adding weaponized and competence to your list of
skills. Though they may not let us use a well questions, but we're
at least going to use like how the world sees us to our events.
You're open to your drifters now, yes, yeah, I would say that's
true. We are now for scams and cons and whatnot. Do you let
Cadillac out, like leave him in the sewers, but you let him out
of his cage at least. Yeah, Now there is the sewer bear of
Chicago. I'm going to let him roam the sewers, and I think he'll
do well. He's smart, and if our paths cross again, then that's
great. I'll bless him, he'll bless me. He probably thinks it's sick.
He's like, oh boy, yeah, all right, wonderful. Okay,
so that do you want to join this with the previous experience as a
memory or forget something else and start another memory? Yeah, I think we
can join it with the other one. And I think that's an easy case
to make of. It's like, you know, my hand was rying off
living in the sewers. This was me living in the sewers. I was
caught living in the sewer with one hand. Yeah. Now, I know
that we may have to forget some other things, but that's where I'll put
this one for now. That makes sense. Great, all right, give
me another role. Okay, we're moving. Big changes are happening for Molly
Sharp. Okay, the six is a three, the ten is a one.
Moving back to forty eight. Oh my gosh, well, okay,
go ahead read it. You awaken covered in dust. Generations have passed,
Your sleeping place has been sealed off. How do you escape? Lose a
resource? Strike out all mortal characters? So sleeping place. I think that
after leaving the sewers that we were sort of living on the street, like
alleyway wise or like like an abandoned house or something. Maybe I think it,
and I think it was a situation of like accident where it was a
place that was condemned, that was sealed up and now and they were like,
all right, the put the wall up against Yes, So right now
I'm like probably in a Chicago apartment in a sealed off wall. Oh my
god. Well, people live out in the living room, and it says
generations have passed. So what I meant to put it now? The nineties?
Okay, nineteen nineties. Friends hadn't started in nineteen ninety five, but
you get the gist. Nineteen ninety five is the year I was born.
Well, there you go, I see, So that's why I wanted to
do it. All right, all mortal characters are dead, So my daughter
is gone. This is dark. I think she was stilled up with me,
and her little bones are right beside me. Just wake up. That's
rough. And her little bones, well, she was at least fourteen when
she does, you're right, so her fourteen ever size bones maybe not.
You know what, No, I don't want to limit us that way.
She got out. Hold on. I know it says that striking all more
characters. But as if we recall when you made a vow to the nuclear
ghosts, they said that you and your companions would survive until the bombs drop.
Now, if we want to get like double rules loyaly, we can
say, well, bombs dropped while you were asleep. You hadn't reached the
World War two yet. Damn that's true. I mean, I think it's
in the spirit of the game to say that they are gone, whether that
was violently or not. So, but I will say that Lana did not
get sealed up with me. She got Maybe she was out trying to get
us, trying to lure someone in for food or something, you know,
and then it got she did. Yeah. Yeah, maybe she has living
descendants and I'll find them. But yeah, so now it's nineteen ninety five,
I'm wearing the clothes of someone in nineteen the nineteen twenties. Yeah,
I'm missing a hand. I've got the weird face stuff going on, which
was not good. Yeah, so you just bust through. I mean,
I don't think it's going to be super difficult to escape. No, I
mean I think I'm out in the streets of Chicago right now. It was
like a very like comic comical little situation of like someone walking out of the
shower men like sure, and then you kill him, then you move on,
I know, yeah, and then I'm out in the streets wandering and
I don't think people are paying me too much mind. Sure, in the
nineties was crazy. Yeah, there's some punk shit going on, so you
get some street kids like right on, sister, Yeah, I'm like,
what it's so funny is that, like you just got on top of like
nineteen thirties bureaucracy, and now computers exist. I don't know that yet,
right exactly. That's the shock that's coming. It's like you don't even know
how bureaucratic things have come. But yeah, it's nineteen ninety five. I'm
alone again. I'm in Chicago and I'm walking. Okay, what resource do
you lose? Let's yeah, you have Lord knows some of them, which
won't have aged a really nice carriage somewhere. You have dark magics. You
have a mansion across the sea. Uh fine THORDBD horses which has some not
been crossed out despite the ravages of time. I guess they keep breathing s.
Series of tunnels under Chicago, a fishing pole, and there diary bag
full of guns. There's an easy one. Think the horses are dead.
Okay, yeah, the horses are gone. I don't have those. Somehow,
the mansion is still in my name. If I can make it back
there, you could prove it stories then yeah, yeah, but the horses
are they're dead, and that carriage is just sitting as like a museum piece.
I think it's still mine, but I'd have to go take it,
Honestly, that would be harder to prove is yours than the building. Oh
yes, carriage, what do you mean? Way, I won't need it,
but I have it if I do it. Yeah, that way,
you have it. So I hope. I'm I hope though I mean it
doesn't say this, but I'll extrapolate a little because I think that's the point
of the game. I think I do you know I still have my my
vampirely wiles. Sure, so I think I I immediately get to work trying
to build a new life and figure out, yes, what what's going on
here? What I'm doing? So I do think that I get some sort
of job. And you are, you know, in the nineties, now
that the Internet exists and this like you are more invisible than ever. Actually
that's true off the grid, and I think eventually I'll sort of figure out
how computers work. I think more quickly than normal mortal people. I've seen
the changes of hundreds of years. You don't have to be like what we
do in the shadows. You don't have to be like Steiny by every day
thing. But job wise, I think I'm doing food delivery on a bike
for an Italian restaurant. I haven't been to Italy, but I like the
food. I like that it's red, and I think this does afford me
some like meals personally, whether that's delivering to someone who I think won't be
missed or they have a friend who was over I watch them leave. Food
delivery is one of the most dangerous jobs you can actually have. It's like,
by a fact, by like an exponential effect and more January durious than
being a police officer, which means that as a food delivery person who's a
vampire, you're gonna have plenty of excuses to like defend yourself. That is
true. And also I know we haven't set this up as like the conventions
of vampires in this world, but just in case it is, people will
invite you super hiview permission. Yeah. So yes, I'm delivering food now.
And I think that I do have a little like studio apartment, and
I have I'm living in like a studio apartment, and I am though,
here's what I am doing. Yes, I am trying to find out what
happened to Lana. Okay, so I'm learning how I use computers and stuff
on her. Yes, I know she's dead probably almost certainly, certainly,
but to see, yeah, but I want to see what happened to her
life because I think I did care about her. But in some ways this
was a gift because I am bringing myself back out into society. I'm like
a real person. You know, you got wipe a slate clean a little
bit, Yes, yeah, that's good. All right? Does this memory
go with everything else? And that we've done so far. Is this a
new memory? Let me see what I can justify here, Okay, because
I don't actually know if this does fit. I think this is a new
thing. Yeah, because it's a new start. Yeah, it's it's literally
cutting off the other two things that you've decided today. Now, if I
have another thing that happens, if we do one more or whatever, and
I have another thing that happens of like loss, then I would probably put
it with the other ones, because that's what I would consider that. I
lost my hand, I lost the tunnels. Yeah, now, losing eighty
years, now, losing seventy years is different, But I agree it is
different, but it's not to me now. And can go take this for
real life application. It's not the loss of the seventy years, it's the
gaining of like a new time to start over again. Sure, yeah I
can, and this time maybe I can end up on top. Everyone's forgotten
about anything you did seventy years ago in Chicago. Yeah all right, So
what are we forgetting? Then? What am I forgetting? I don't want
to forget. Laanabout to say, if you want to be really tragic,
you could forget the bit that involves Laana. No, because I I remember
it to do it. I am going to forget because the bombs have already
happened, and not to the extent you were led to believe. But still
I'm gonna forget about the spirit of Quark. Sadly, I'll also forget my
grizzly bear Cadillac. But what I hope happens is that I hear legends of
a grizzly bear that ran through the sewers. Interesting, Yes, okay,
it's gone. All right, let's roll again. See what we get.
Do you think this will be my last one? Where we at on time?
Okay, I just want to like really like yeah, yeah, plan
out. Okay, for the six, I'm at four and for the ten
a six, so we're going forward to where we've already been. You are
almost uncovered. It must dramatically shift your hunting packs. Become a member of
the lowest class a resource if you already aren't the lowest cost. Instead,
instead, become a member of the highest class and check a skill. All
right, I'm free parking on the monopoly board. Let's go nice. Okay.
I have some thoughts on this. So my hunting patterns involved my job,
and it involved like, so when you say you're delivering Italian food,
pasta or pizza. Okay, so this is a little bit ricky, Bobby,
Yeah, pizza, we are pizza, pizza. I we just have
to say that. Amazing anyway. Anyway, So I think that I was
delivering to an upscale apartment. They ordered Italian food. Sure this was pasta,
probably not pizza. I was delivering there. I go in. It's
a very wealthy man and a woman who is much younger, possibly paid to
be there, reminiscent of my mother. If I remember her, I don't.
I don't know. I Brooke does because I've listened to our previews.
My bimbo mother I believe is coy described her. That's okay, I don't
have to Maybe this is just conjured something something, and I've delivered the pasta.
I Unfortunately, prostitutes and sex workers are easy people to like. They
don't have attachments so much, and unjustly they are not looked for by the
police. This, yes, So I think I'm going to go for her.
Usually have my face covering on. Sure, But when the man goes
to the restroom, I'm like, I'm gonna I'm still in here and he's
gonna give me a tip. That's the guys. I'm still in here under
and I'm gonna just go for this girl and he'll think she just left.
And I go and I take off my face covering and this man comes back
out and he is a scout for models, and he thinks I have the
most interesting face he's ever seen in his life. Okay, okay, yes
it's very and I'm all I think I'm verd Sin. This is like,
you know, cocaine chic is what they call, like Kate Moss, and
he's like the era for it. Yeah, and I look weird as fuck
as well. And yes, the hand I've covered up, I have a
cross setup for the handle. Ya come on, it's nineteen ninety five.
And he scouts me as a model. Interesting, And that's what I'm doing
as a career. Now. I'm of the highest class and I am gaining
a skill and the skill oh damn it. Okay, I'm losing a skill,
but that's okay. I won't need as many as I have anymore.
I'm actually going to I'm gonna kill my own darling and lose weaponized incompetence okay,
because we don't need it. No, I'm wiley, I'm street smart.
That's part of why they like me as a model, Like she's a
little dangerous. Yes. Yeah, so I've lost my skill of weaponize and
competence that I only used once. But that's okay, okay, you only
needed it once. Yeah, and now I'm a model wow in nineteen ninety
five, So congratulations. Look at that all right? Where does this memory
join? Does is just joined the previous nineteen eighty five? Yeah, this
is part of my new start. That makes sense. That's straightforward. Okay,
give me another role at least one more, because that was that was
a quick one. Yeah, okay, here we go. The six is
a two and the ten is a six, so four we're going forward.
Four Okay, your strange accent in old ways always really was an outsider,
mocked to cheat it at best or hated it worst, some of these useless
traits. By converting an old memory to a new skill for blending in,
I have to lose an old memory, yeah, just now to chew it
up, but I get a new skill. That's true. So I do
think that would be true. And you know I'm amongst these fashion circles.
Yeah, and I really need to cover up that I was not born in
like nineteen seventy eight or whatever. You know, I'm not seventeen, but
you know something of that effect. Well, I guess I was turned at
eighteen. So yeah, actually nineteen seventy seven. How much you age?
So I think not at all? There you go. Yeah, so I
need to dispel some of that sort of suspicions. You know what I'm gonna
lose? What are you gonna lose? This is sad. Go ahead,
I'm gonna lose my memory of doing target practice with my sister. Oh that's
a diary. Never mind, I can't lose that. Never mind, you're
good. I was like, that'll be sair. Can I lose the unholy
memory that I got back? Yeah? I guess My question is sure you
can, of course, but how do you what does that give you?
What are these memories convert into a skill to do? So I think that
these memories, by losing them, it converts into I don't know exactly how
to transferred. So maybe can help me like a lack of inhibition or a
lack of like even morality, Like there's you know, this sort of nihilism,
which I think can be a skill. Yeah. I think it's also
like, let me know, if this is sort of a long ones what
you're thinking, But you're like convincing them that you have like a persona that
like it's not that you're actually hundreds of years old, you're just you have
a part that you're playing. Yeah, you're like a character. You have
a sort of a presence in pop culture. And so then people are like,
yeah, she's just it's like performance, are right, she just acts
like this semi feral thing. It's like a commentary and like beauty standards and
like what we think about like humanity, and you're just like, I'm just
living it. But sure, yeah, you play it up as a sort
of like mystique. Yeah, so I guess there's a skill that would be
like this sort of alternate persona. I don't know, something like that,
you understand what I mean, A scandalous persona. I think she's very like
alt you know, yeah, yeah, great, yeah, and this is
I would come and we don't need to Well, I guess the questions just
go with the other two experiences or is this its own memory? No,
this can go with the other two I think this will this will round this
out the start of my new life, and you can start a new one
with Yes, I have a space now. Yeah, but maybe that'll be
for the next person, whoever that may be. I think you can do
at least one more, one more. I'll do one one to end it
on something. Because this was a very like easy breezy prompt. I think,
all right, the six is a four and the ten is a four,
so fifty four. B interesting. Your old memories are changing to reflect
the attitudes you need in the presence. Change a memory to incorporate anachronistic contemporary
aspects do not create a new experience, all right, So let's get in
these memories and edit some stuff. Okay, let's take the coming to America
memories. Sure, and I actually want them to be not so much coming
to America, but like my childhood. Like let's make it like a fake
childhood. Does that make sense? Yeah? So the first part of that
is Napoleonic War breaks out and Forseu're retreating my mansion for years, I lose
money. What does that become contemporary wise? My parents' divorce, we have
moved me and my mom move out of the city, we lose all our
money. Instead of sleeping for one hundred years and waking in the nineteen twenties
and returning to the name of Valerie Sharp. You going to Chicago, what
does that become? I live there with my mom. I moved back to
Chicago once I'm old enough, and I use my mother's maiden name Sharp instead
of the last name I have, which was my dad's last name. Okay,
sounds normal to me. M h. And then the last one is
my secretive ways get me in trouble. I violently escaped, but I make
an enemy and Kennedy Marshall, who runs a secret organization. This is good.
So I think that you know, this is gonna go with my whole
like alt persona. Yeah, so I think I'm a shoplifter, I went
on a writer of the nineties. I'm a shoplifter who gets caught, and
I make an enemy of the local police. Boy, Kennedy Marshall, he's
just a regular officer. Yeah, I don't forget you completely, Like he's
not the sheriff. Yeah, okay, great, there you go. That's
your new life. How interesting that, like even she starts to believe this
could be her life I'm interested by You know, it doesn't come up every
prompt, but there's a couple ones of these in the game where it's like
every now and then the character is like or the prompt is like change your
memories, like remember it differently and decide that that's just true, which I
think is a fun mechanic. Molly's sharp a nice still, I think it
is. It hasn't said I changed it, so I'm gonna keep it.
That's a modern named. Yeah, what a nice little ending for her,
right, like she's starting a new life and she's even forgetting her old one
if you want to Oh no, no, I think this is good spot.
Yes, I've done a lot. I feel what's the nineties needle drop
that carries you out of this episode? Carries me out of this I gotta
do lois, Okay, don't worry, for the power of editing will sound
like you do it immediately depending on the year. I want it to be
a Veruka assault. Oh sure, they were born in Chicago in ninety two.
Also, so yeah, it's either oh sure of course yeah by Salt,
is she the either we finally figured out who it is? Yes,
yeah, which means that that is a song about someone falling in love with
Molly. Yeah, yeah, that's very good. All right, wow crazy,
it's over. Crazy, wink wink, it's not. It's not.
