M Welcome everybody to Table Stories Facade. Welcome to the show. If you've
never seen the show before, it is an occult detective horror show. There
are some days that can be pretty triggering. This is your trigger warning.
Today might be one of those days for you, So if you're not in
a good place, maybe watch this later. I have also not worn the
cast yet, so this is the cast's warning as well. On the last
episode of Table Story's Facade, we had some pretty significant things happen. Max
met up with another one of her contacts and she talked to them about Genesis's
curios and oddities and the possibility of getting some bullets for her gun there or
just learning some information about it. She had a con confrontation with her friend
Dion. I was supposed to be a meeting where he gave her something that
Marek left for her, turned out to be some kind of ornate wooden box.
Dion was fairly forceful and that he wanted Max to open it up while
he was there. Max rightfully felt that Dion was hiding something from her.
He ended up admitting that someone from e W was trying to learn about what
was inside the box. Max convinced him how he needed to go. Doctor
Copeland did some investigation in regards to the Visions book and the author, Peter
Robertson. She found a publishing company run by a woman named Leslie publishing company,
Skyline Publishing. She went to speak with her and had a pretty disturbing
conversation about Peter Robertson, an elysium within and a potential location at a nondescript
cigar spot. After Doctor Copeland was done with her, she killed her,
possibly a release from the pain that she was feeling or Catharsis for doctor Copeland.
I'm not sure personally, what do you think? Chad Remy Quinn and
Professor Charles, in some dreamscape of the Dubois Private Detective Agency, tried to
put things together. Quinn showed Professor Charles the mark on their hand, and
they gathered clues for the different things that they've encountered thus far in a rough
timeline of events. Sally, Quinn's assistant of sorts, got them some food
and was told to get them a newspaper so they could keep an eye on
current events. However, the office came under attack by three months mobsters run
by a guy named Big Angelo, whom apparently Quinn owed money. They tried
to run but were stopped and threatened. They tried to reason with them,
but that didn't go well either. One of them was ordered to shoot Remy
and Quinn tried to intervene. We'll start there today. So you see the
gun start to get leveled at Remy and reflex starts to take over. Here,
Quinn, you try to wrestle the gun away? Is that correct?
Uh? Not wrestle the gun. I was hoping to just tackle this guy.
Those jump for the gun style. I don't want to try to take
the gun from them. I don't like guns, okay, Quinn. Yeah,
you see the gun get leveled at Remy. What do you do?
So I would like to charge this guy? I guess knock him over.
Okay, please try and commit some violence. Okay. Oh this is in
regards to your relationship with Remy. Yeah, okay, engage in combat.
Yeah That's what I'm doing. Okay. Yeah. Six. You see the
gun get leveled at Remy. One of the other mobsters, this tall skinny
one, sort of says, hey, where are you going? And they
sort of stick their foot out as you go to rush at the other one
and you trip, falling onto the ground. Reaching your hand out, you
can see the Tommy gun in the hands of the mobster, point at Remy
and fire. Remy recoils struck, and he starts to fade away. Three
mobsters look at each other, looks like you got him. Nice job,
Bobby, Thanks Boss, Thanks, good shot? Is always now you Wayne?
You got till tomorrow? Give me my money. You don't everything you
know, everything you love? Well, turn out like your friend. Eh.
Sorry to clarify. When you say fade away, do you mean like
actually fade away or he died? It looked like he was riddled with bullets
and then faded away. Okay, as if he was never even here.
Okay, there are bloodstains on the floor. Okay, yeah, okay tomorrow.
Sure? Is this very reasonable? Yeah, very very very reasonable.
Glad, it's okay with you. Smart guy, Give me your wallet.
I'm sorry, your wallet, Give me your wallet. Uh sorry, my
first mucking. He snatches it out of your hand, takes out your driver's
license or whatever identification you may have, losses the wallet back to you.
Thank you. Come on, boys, we did some good work tonight.
That's right, boss, Come on, let's go, Bobby, you can
have a beer on me, bail me. But they leave your What the
fuck just happened? Yeah, he's not there right, No, he just
like hologrammed away like something out of Star Trek. And you are right.
I've been working to the evidence. We can't we we can't do. You
know those men, I know I've never met them before in my life,
but apparently in this reality, I know them. Look, I think the
only reason I'm not losing my ship right now is because Sally was there and
then thrown out a window by Max and then there again. I mean,
is this this just has to be another vision or construct evaders or there's a
little bit of blood Quinn's face, Professor Charles, Yeah, you have a
on your what on your face? Quinn? Oh my god, I'm sorry.
Don't say sorry like he's fucking dead. Sorry, I'm not. This
isn't I don't know. We don't know anything, Okay, we don't know.
We don't know ship, Yes, my I mean, is it crazy
to think that the way out of here is is that I mean, Sally,
it goes, Remy goes. That's it's I tried to walk into traffic,
but Remy stopped me. I had the same idea. I think I
think there's a there's a there's a revolver in in in my desk. What
there's a revolver in my deck? I don't like guns, but it's there.
M h, I don't know. Hang on, this has to be
a hit me. Just just hit me. I hit you to hit me
as hard as you can. This isn't the fucking matrix. Man, I
look at my noodle arms. I can't do anything to you. That's has
to be a different if another way I'm not is I mean is? Does
Sally have a have a body? How should we look? Yes? Mm
hmm. How about I opened the door and then you just look out on
three? Fine three, you open up the door, you see a bloody
scene of Sally h sort of spread with her back on the desk, newspapers
all over the place. Oh god, I'm gonna be stick h them a
lot of money for them to kill Sally Quinn is fine. She's not she's
not dead because she's not real. I'm sorry, I'm no, that's okay.
You're right because I watched Matt shove her out the window exactly an hour
now, you're right, you're right here, but not faded. So there's
clearly there's clearly something different about only we fade? Where do you think we
go? I'm back? I do you hope? I mean it stands to
logic and reason if Remy is not Kia. But what if the shots were
real? What if he's not here but he's still bleeding out somewhere, then
you could conclude that we need to get there past? Are you proposing to
do that, professor? I walked to the desk and look for the revolver.
It's in the top drawer. Is it there? Whack? Yes,
m m is it? Is it loaded? I don't know. I've never
used it. It's I guess, so, yes it is. I've decided
I would keep it loaded if I kept one. They're always loaded in these
movies. Here, it's it's your, it's your, it's your revolver.
You take it? Wait, you want me to shoot you? Just I
don't. I don't. I don't know yet. I think we just need
to maybe just put it on the desk. I don't really like I don't
want to hold it. Sorry, I don't like guns. No, that
that's fine. I mean, help, How did you get out of here
before I honestly can't remember. I think what's happened? I can't remember?
Oh can I I'm trying not to panic? Can you help? Is this
is? Is this you? I'm just along for the ride, Anthony.
That's not good enough anymore. We need, we need, we need,
we need, we need an answer If you want this right to continue,
check check for some some bullets around the office and see if we've gotten if
I know what you know? Anthony? Uh you mm hmm. That's stop
lying to me. That's mm hmmm. How do we get back? If
you want me to get what you want me to get, we have to
get out of here. Oh were you? You can make that up here?
Here? Here, here, here, here here, there was something
in the filing cabinet. Oh, the filing cabinet, The filing cabinet,
the filing cabinet. What I go and I start searching for files on us?
Or uh Hoffmann? Okay, would you like to investigate? Yes?
En nineteen. I forget what your special stuff is, but I know you
get at least two questions from the investigation list. Yeah, my specials?
Bullshit? Is I can't use that yet? I would have to be investigating,
I think the actual crime scene, not necessarily a filing cabinet. So
okay, just look again, sorry, okay, is there anything weird about
what I'm investigating? Specifically, you're investigating yourself, Professor Charles and Hoffmann or
anybody. The filing cabinet. Everything in the filing cabinet is related to the
things that you have up on your clue board and timeline. Okay, I
would say that that's the weird thing to you. Yeah, okay, all
right, professor, check this out. Last time I opened this filing cabinet,
there was a whole bunch of weird shit in here. Nothing made any
sense except for one file on Hoffman. Now look at it. Every filing
here is related to the map that we made, the clue map, every
single file. But before I have nothing but Hoffman correct, right, and
just some other stuff I didn't recognize. And now how it's full of knowledge
you have clearly gained, and I mean this is fine. Which is this
is your subconscious it's this is this is what it is? You you you
you you. You've filled the repository, the filing cabinet with with with a
new knowledge and information. That's just so let's open these files and see if
there's anything in here that my subconscious picked up but I didn't pick up.
Yeah, yes, is true. Okay, how can I find out more
about what I'm investigating? I think looking through your files? So I'm do
I have to roll again it? Yeah? Okay. I would say that
when you pull out the files, in relations to what you have up on
the board here, there's a I think exactly. I would love for you
to narrate what you imagine each file to look like. Okay, yeah,
sure, it's Manila folders that I pull out, and uh, each one
I open, it's got like a picture of the person, some data,
and maybe some pictures in there that are candid photos that either I or I
hired somebody to take, like Remy. And then it's got notes in there.
I probably have a journal in my desk that I've ripped pages out of
and just thrown each applicable page into each file, and they are probably color
coded and marked as well, like I'll have blue highlighter on top for you
know this. Anybody that knows each other and has an okay relationship with each
other, they've the folder's been highlighted in blue just one blue line underneath it.
There's a green line for if I know that they have talked to Hoffman
before, redline if anybody's made a deal of any kind, you know,
stuff like that. That is what you find. And in regards to new
information, you don't find any new information. Okay, this is just the
same old ship. Hang let me, let me, let me, let
me have a look. I want to go through the files as well,
but as well as looking, because as far as I'm concerned, I'm now
diving around in Quinn's knowledge of things. So I'm going to be looking for
anything that would explain the current situation I'm in. But I also may want
to use one of my special moves if it's applicable here. I don't know,
okay, in the back of my head. And the whole reason I'm
in this position right now is because I think Quinn and Remy have got a
lead to what I need or knowledge of what I need. So I'm looking
to use my collector skill where I'm when I'm searching for an unusual or rare
item or in this case, the lead to that item. Okay, yeah,
go ahead. First reason reason fourteen. So specifically, I'm looking for
either the notebook, references to the notebook, the vaders, or that heart.
Okay, you find doctor Copeland's folder, and you can see that there
is a basically a news headline and a clipping that says, suspected murderer doctor
Ada Copeland in custody. Is she guilty? Question mark? And you can
see like a sort of wanted photo of doctor Copeland. And in the text
of the article you can find that it says a strange scene doctor Ada Copeland's
NYU office. Police find several internal organs, blood, an apt solute massacre
of a scene. Connections still seem limited. And you see probably after you
skim through the article, there's a bit on it that says police have taken
several of these questionable artifacts into custody. Okay, so I'll readle that coming
on looking through and assume do you want me to roll to generally investigate to
see if I pick up anything about this current situation, or to be pretty
redund enough queens think gets redundant. Okay, so I'll just finish finish reading
through. H No, nothing, Yeah me either. I don't know,
man, this is a stuff I already knew and I don't know how to
get out of here either. Remy's probably been bleeding out somewhere. All right,
all right, all right, uh all right, I'm sorry I've never
because this is very new. You've said, have experiences. I mean,
uh, simplest solution, right, Uh, it worked for for Remy.
He's not he's not here, but he's not dead here. We don't know
that, I mean somewhere else. I mean, but there's anybody here,
he's he's I didn't even face those men when he just disappeared. That's should
have usual to them. I know, shoot me. I can't shoot you,
man, Yeah, you have to. I cannot shoot you. Well,
you have to because I can't shoot myself. Shoot you man. It's
fine. I will, I will, I will. This is this is
a construct. I'll I'll wake up somewhere. Well, what if you don't,
then I've that I'm a murderer and you can't murder there's somebody here.
Look, they wouldn't. Who would put you in jail, There'd be nobody.
Well that makes me feel great, professor. I mean the idea is
that you then follow m I mean, if we could, we could do
the window. I mean, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not jumbling
out a window. I may look, can we maybe do a m But
I know, I just maybe maybe that's a touch extreme. I don't know
why I am a Do you know anyone here? I mean, Sally,
I knew Remy. Should we call the police? This is this isn't real,
right, right? Not real? You came to my apartment, you
walked in, we're here. All laws of reality and physics. It can't
be real. It's just not. It's just not. People don't get shot
and fade away. It's not. It can't be real. But Ada said
something about traveling somewhere. What if we are somewhere traveling? What she said?
You know, she was trying to convince me to travel. She said
that, She said that Remy went somewhere and I had to stab a heart
to follow and get Remy from wherever it was that he went. What if
this is somewhere in between? Did you? But you didn't do it?
No? I mean I started to yeah, and then I realized it was,
and then Remy was just there, so I knew she was back.
Probably full of shit, right, So he he went somewhere and he came
back. We've gone somewhere, we would come back. I slap him really
hard across the face. Ah, oh, wake up, you're still here.
Yes, I would have asked for a warning, but I suppose that's
the trick. Yeah, well no, right by, silly shoot me,
please, thank you quickly. There's not another way. Look, man,
this is fucked up, ok for forked up? Sorry, it's fine.
I think we passed that point, right. If you don't shoot me please
in the next five seconds, I am out of the window. Mm hmm.
Just do it, Quinn. I can't, man, you can,
and then you then you follow all right? Then you then you follow me
straight afterwards, and you come and find me. Quinn. Can't. I
can't do it. I can't shoots. I can't shoot you and then shoot
myself. You're not shooting me. It's it's not real, Quinn. Just
mm hmmm, it's not real. Then you do it. If it's so
easy, then you do it. Yeah, I didn't think so. It's
a lot fucking harder when you have to pull the trigger. I'm okay that
the revolver is still on the desk, right, pick up the rule,
easy, take it easy. We don't know for sure. No, okay,
wait wait, wait, wait, wait, wait wait wait, just
wait for two seconds. What I think you should shoot me? First?
Listen, I have a reason, and it's not just because I cannot fucking
shoot myself. Right, what's the reason i'd prefer not to discuss, same
reason why you don't want to discuss your friend there on your shoulder. Okay,
I have something to well, you know what I mean. I can
see it. Man. You can lie to me all you want, but
I see the thing that's haunting you. What you can see and what is
part of my existence. It can be two very separate things. Just because
you see it doesn't mean I see it. It should come along with one
of my classes. Right, Maybe I'll do that after you shoot me and
we wake up somewhere else. I'm ready, man, well past my expiration
date. Anyway, it's one. It'll have to be a cliched because we're
in a movie. It's my fucking clish jay, right, because this is
just, this is just, it's just, this is your dream. I
don't wait wait wait wait wait wait, let me get my detective hair.
Oh Jesus, Okay, now I'm ready. I'm just just go. I
mean, wife the chest Uh, yeah, I guess when I pick up
the revolver fine level of her chest and pull the trigger and then immediately turn
it on myself. We switched scenes. Max, Where are you headed?
I had just gone to open the box. I'm around the back of the
bar and Dan's got his back to me. The box is ornamented in a
very interesting and intriguing way. It's a beautifully wood Uh. It's a beautifully
carved wood box, intricate details, very fine craftsmanship. It's a I would
say probably something like a cherry wood. And it looks very old, well
maintained and cared for. It's probably been oiled recently. The lock on the
front is clearly open. I kind of trace my fingers over some of the
carving to see if I can make out any particular shapes or and I thing
like that, just kind of enjoying the detail on there. I think,
see what move you can make here? I think it's just investigate probably mm
hm mm hmm. Thus the reason ah no four mm hmm does not tell
you much. Unfortunately, you've seen the box before, you know that much.
It's been in Marreck's office, You've seen it. You might have even
seen in cleaning it before I'll sniff it. What does it smell like?
Probably like a linseed oil or something, one of those oils you used just
to you know, keep would intact and to smile ever so slightly at that
kind of sense memory that comes along with that smile, and then shrug it
off. Look up at Dane and check that he's still turning away. Do
you open it yet? Fingers on lips, shakes his head. The dude's
got your sister. How did they get in touch? We met him?
Burn her phone left for me at the boar. Ah. Yeah, that's
distinctly unsuspicious. Okay, come back towards from twenty for me would to wwenty
nineteen. I open the box. You open up the box. When you
do, there's a goose flesh sensation that travels up your arms, as if
a breath has been released. It feels like it travels across your skin,
arresting your body. It feels strange and somewhat familiar. There is a strange
looking key inside the box. There is black padding around it, and the
key just sort of sits in a recessed part of the padding. There is
a note in there as well. I'll pull the nose out and read it
first. You instantly recognize Marrek's handwriting. The note says Max, if you're
reading this, I'm dead. I'm sorry that I couldn't talk about this with
you more or at all. Myriad is yours now. This key unlocks the
most important doors. Never lose it. Myriad always has to belong to someone.
It helps people on their path. It's part of the bargain that I
made with her. Take care, Max Wanker. And then I realized I've
said that out loud, and just double check that Dion's not looking kind of
Dion's probably like looking. You probably just see the corner of his eye,
like over his shoulder or something like what she can count again, what the
fuck? I'll take the note out and stuff it in my bra six and
pick the key up and just look at it for a second. Or oh
my god, holy shit, I'm so sorry. Yeah, I'm just looking
at the Millie is trying to take my production job. Like, I'll just
I'll just turn that off. Star Trek. That's your Star Trek preset esays,
I'm blaming Jay for that one. Okay, Yeah, I've just got
the key out and I'm just staring at that for a second and quickly pop
that in my bra as well, pull my pen knife out, put it
in the box, close the box. Uh want me to count again?
Do you want to count again? I know me? What did he tell
you about? What the fuck this is? I didn't know? Said I
just had to find out what was in the box, and you're supposed to
deliver this information? How? Okay? Call a number on the burner phone.
He's the only one that's on there. And what about Marrit? What?
What did he? This doesn't make any fucking sense. I don't know
Max mac marrick didn't tell me anything. He just said that if anything happened
to him, get you the box if you didn't already have it. Okay,
m hm, you're gonna help or not? H yeah? Yeah?
Come with me with you where we're going back to the bar bar? Yeah?
What about the cops? I mean that didn't rat you out, but
they probably I mean they're probably trying to find you and we need a false
lead. We need ship h Oh can you stall can you stall them?
Can you send them on a wild fucking goose hunt or something? Just buy
me a day. Ah, I'm gonna need a role for that. I
think let's see try and influence others. O yeah, seventeen. I mean
I can try, Max. It's not exactly like we look alike. What
I'm not. I'm not saying nuns on the run fox sake. Just buy
me some time, and if Captain Mysterious calls you wanting information, just say
I wasn't need to open it. Yeah, I'm in mourning. Just give
me a day and I'll fuck it. I'll meet you out back at the
club special Knock, all right, No, I just here's my sister.
I'll I just I need to be able to help before I can help.
Yah. Sorry, that doesn't make a lot of sense as it. Just
call it stocking up, all right. You can see Dianne just he looks
flushed, you know, like he's he's going to be sick. I'm going
to find out who's behind all this, whether it's this mysterious fucker or whoever,
and they are going to bleed. Yeah, I don't know. Thanks,
I just want I just want everything to go back the way that it
was. Just fucking you can go there on your own. I'm not going
there, all right, going mainline, some fucking vodka and have a cry.
It's not going to bring him back h one day. M all right,
all right, m m. The answers to walk away, don't don't
let any weirdoes in like Saturday night rules, but more someone's got to look
after the place. Yeah yeah, m chairs mm hmm. Man walks off.
Hm, just look at the box again. What the fuck? What
the fuck? Such a fuck it? No fuck it? Okay, okay,
okay, willets, willets and walk back into the bar. Okay,
head back into the bar. Is it still packed? Oh yeah, m
hmm. A lot of bars are closed on Sundays, but this one's open
and apparently jam fucking packed. I'm kind of gathering my bag like tight under
my arm, just for protection and try and like elbow my way back out
onto the street. Okay, start to make your way back down onto the
street. Mhm. What the fuck are you doing, old man? Oh
h am? I still hot? It's my shoulder heading from the stab wound
or not? Nope, Okay, I'll kind of look at it like weirdly
transfixed by that, like shoulder my jacket off and just kind of just press
my thumb into it a little bit. The black inky substance that you saw
from your other wounds is covering the shoulder as well. Oh that's good.
Mm hmmm. I'll just push really hard so I can feel it just for
a second. Okay, bullets, and I'm going to head off to oh
god, the name of it Genesis is Genesis. And yeah, you're taking
a cab. Is it walkable? Mm hmm, yeah, but it's not
the best walk, like, it's a pretty long walk. Okay, then
yeah, okay, you start you start walking? Oh no, I meant
yeah, I'm kind of get a cab. Okay, yeah, yeah,
this is important. Sure, you hail a cab. Takes a couple of
minutes. And sorry, I'm just noticing that I dropped some frames there.
But I think we're okay, and uh, cab pulls up. Cab driver
says, hey, where are you headed the uh this street here? I
can't remember which street I was told. I was told the address of it,
so I'll just pass past that vague area but not specifically there. Yeah,
no problem, it's a good thing you're headed. Uh, you're headed
there. Now we're supposed to get a we're supposed to get another blizzard tonight.
Yeah, yepk site. It's one not enough what they're saying. It
looks like two feet of snow leash. All right? Uh, hop on
in cheers, No, nestle down in the back and I'll kind of hunker
down a little bit and I'll just pull the box out of my bag and
just be flipping it up and down, thinking, Hm, that looks pretty
nice. Yeah, ok, yeah, is that a gift you something?
Yeah? I can belated birthday present? All right? Fair enough? Uh
you? Uh sorry? I usually leave the windows down. You want me
to put them up? No, and I leave him down. I'm I'm
warm. That's right here. M okay yeah, no, m what's the
best president year ever? Got? Oh? Me? I've got a bike
once? Yeah, yeah, when I was a kid, one of those
racing bikes you know, nice, it was real nice. Got smashed up?
What deliberate or hill? Oh yeah? Uh kind of flipped it mm
hmmm so both sure? Why not? H Did you ask for it or
did you not have to? No? I never thought about it, but
uh oh a long time ago, Uh I think yeah. I think my
my mom and dad just knew. You know, it was right before the
divorce compensation. H fuck us up? One way or another day. I
guess maybe that's why we're here, fuck each other up in new and creative
ways. You are, right, would you? Yeah? Yeah, just
I don't know. First days make me, nostalgia makes sense. I've never
asked for a present. Who doesn't ask for a present, that's the question.
I suppose you never wanted any present? Nothing, even when that Okay,
sorry, it's fine. It's just I don't know. Families are weird,
right, I guess you know. I think everybody thinks that, though,
you know, yeah, maybe some of them's got I've got to be
right there, right right. I can't figure out if it's better to have
wanted something and got it, oh, just got it. You see,
all those rich bricks never asked for a fucking thing, and then they yeah,
like those celebrities, they just get those gift bags and ship yeah yeah,
and it's nothing. It's just like ah, more diamonds. I forget
it's there, yeah, right, I guess now, sit, yeah,
and then you get people have worked their whole fucking lives for things and they
wanted like I had this boyfriend once and his parents like their whole house was
cream. Like Christine I was frightened to sit on the couch like plastic and
ship. Yeah, and I thought it was shit at the time. I
thought it was just the worst way to live, so concerned with how everything
looked. And it makes sense now. And they had a fucking work for
it, you know. I mean, my grandma put plastic on the furniture.
Place wasn't well. I mean we weren't rich or anything. Yeah,
that's riches. It's a matter of personal opinion. I guess if you've had
nothing, I guess that nothing is something. Oh hey, looks like we're
coming. Are you sure it's here? M oh yeah, yeah, this
is good. Cheers. I'm meeting a friend. Okay, yeah, sure,
bird, so eleven fifteen chess. I won't give it man an extra
tip. Thanks. Hey, listen, I have a good one. Drink,
have a good one. Okay, sure you asked for a present.
Yeah, yeah, I'll get on that. Sorry, be safe you too,
and I'll put the box back in my bag and just stand in the
street for a second. Watch the camp Go cab drives off. You can
see a night is basically falling on the city, and I another dark alley
lies before you. I just walked straight through that. It's almost like I'm
hypnotized. It doesn't mean anything right now, just got my bag under my
arm and just letting this whole situation take me where it wants to. Okay,
welcome back everybody. Sorry about that. I had a power outage.
But we're okay. We're all good. We're all good. Thank you so
much to Peb for helping and jumping in there. Thank you, no problem.
I saw Max head into the dark alley. Now we join doctor Copeland.
Doctor Copeland, the dead body of Leslie, owner and operator of Skyline
Publishing. Laze at your feet against the wall, or blood on your clothes,
maybe a little bit in your face. All right, I'd like to
walk to her kitchen and get a towel. Okay, I'll take this towel
and I'll walk to the front door and I'll throw the latch closed, and
then I'll walk to the bathroom and look into the mirror. Then get as
much off of my face or body as I could. Does she have another
towel in her in her kitchen? It's kind of a hoarder's nightmare with newspaper
and such all about. So there's probably like a dish towel and dishes are
just like piled up. That's fine. There's probably lots of like old cereal
boxes and things that are there. You can see like a bunch of cereal
bowls like piled up in the in the bathroom. Does she have a bath
towel, Yeah, there'd be a bath towel. All right, we'll take
a bath towel and I'll walk past her closet and get a wire coat hanger.
Sure, no problem. I'd like to take these two things and walk
over to her desk. The desk is covered with old notes and things I
see. Do any of them look relevant to any of my interests? You
can investigate? I'd like to investigate. Okay, at thirteen you can ask
me, I believe one question from the investigator gay list. M let's see.
How can I find out more about what I'm investigating? Mm hmm.
I think probably there is a a file that you'll that you find it's it's
it's probably the only one that's reasonably intact, and you can you can see
that it's clearly marked Peter Robertson. All right, I'd like to put that
on the desk and I'll take the dish towel and fold it uh halfway up
the long way, so then it's a long towel. Just place it on
the desk as well. I'd like to take the coat hanger and the little
curly bit and at the top I'll spin that around and stretch it out so
it's a nine degree kind of point. How many cats are in the room,
four or five? This is important. I need to know exactly how
many. I'll walk around the room and look, you see one that was
kind of difficult to see. There are five I see. Do any of
them look docile? I think all of them are pretty ambivalent. That's God's
all right. I'll take the one that's clearly in heat, by the way.
Interesting, I'd like to take that one. Okay, I'll take the
dish towel and I'll just kind of drape it over her and pick her up
and hold her in my arms for a little bit. She's fussy. Mmm,
probably a bit. There's probably like a little bit of squirming. Oh,
it's okay, little puss, Little puss, it's okay. I'd like
to walk back over to the desk and sit in her chair. I'll set
the cat on the desk and take that dish towel and just wrap it over
her and uh make a little kitty cat burrito. Okay, her u claws
and you know, fore claws and back claws are all underneath this dish towel,
and the ends of it are sit on my lap between my thighs,
and I'm squeezing it shut so's she can't get away, Little puss, Little
Puss. It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. Everything is going to
be okay. I'll take the coat hanger with the pointy end and just hold
it over her eye. My left hand is scruffing her holding her. My
right hand is right over her eyeball. I'd like to attempt to see if
Quinn is sleeping and if I might be able to communicate with her rule plus
your soul? What Quinn, Quinn? Quinn, Quinn? Are you there
there? Quinn Quinn? Oh, so good to hear you. Ata.
Did you did you find anything out about the doctor? I mean, yeah,
but I'm professor. Yeah, but I'm still on the case. I
didn't and I didn't get the laps done yet. The fuck is going on?
Mm hmm. It's just a matter of trying to stay focused. Where
am I? I can't see anything. I can find you, and I
can help you, But I need you to tell me where that book is.
Because the way, the way that I that I know how to help
you help you is locked away in that book. And I needed Quinn,
I can help, Just tell me where it is. No, I don't
think I will. Ah, just tell me where it is, Quinn.
Good luck with whatever you're doing, Ada, But I'm not giving you that
book, Quinn. When Quinn Quinn quhen yeah, ha ha ha uh,
all right, a little the cat off of the towel, Shake off the
towel. We'll find another one. I think the cats, after seeing what
happened this time, probably have fled the room. H I dunged the cat
under the desk, and I opened the folder for Peter Robertson. Sure you
can see as you start to look through this file what looks to be just
like collection of pictures. On the top, you can see the outside of
this place, sort of bright, shiny new You can see Peter Robertson and
Leslie taking a few pictures or what have you outside and you can roll me
investigate to see what you find in the folder. All right, I have
a skill for this, right, I don't know indeed, scientist when you
investigate an object, I don't think that's going to count for this one,
unfortunately, I am sorry. All right, investigate then, okay? At
twelve, you can ask me one question from the list there? How can
I find out more about what I'm investigating? You find some maybe some notes,
a few pages from some other work, not visions, but maybe some
other books, like a memoir kind of book, Life and Times of Peter
Robertson. Interesting. Does it give me any clues to is whereabouts or associates?
There are some edits and things you can see, you know, a
typical sort of like red pen making marks and whatnot. There's probably some writing
like in the in the margin, like this story is really great, we
should really expand on this. And it's probably about like some behind the scenes
stuff that happened at a movie or something, maybe like a B movie that
Peter did, where he's talking about how even though the movie was shit,
it was a really good stepping stone and he learned a lot on it,
and it was shot locally, and he talks about how he met a really
interesting person on set and the edit says we shouldn't use their real name.
Depending on what kind of book you want to write. Does it give me
the name? It's crossed out, but you can make it out. What
does it say A simple man? It says James Conroy. James Conroy was
some person who worked on a film. Then I don't think it says on
that page, and it doesn't. It's one of the random notes that are
kind of in that file. And the significance of this is only just his
name. There's a lot of power in a name James Conroy. All right,
I take another look around. Was there any copy of the book Visions
by Peter Robertson? What's she telling the truth? I would like you to
make a role for me. We'll find out here. I think that you
can. I think this is probably observer situation real perception. Wow, that's
a twenty. Yeah, you can ask me two questions from the observer situation
list. What is being hidden from me? It takes some looking, but
buried amongst the massive horde of stuff you find a copy of Visions. It's
pretty much intact. There's really nothing wrong with it. Because of the massive
amounts of hoarding and the fact that it was probably in a stack. It
like hasn't been marred, you know, like it's just it's an intact copy.
It's just there. H very good. You get one more question,
what seems range about this? I think instantly you can recognize that this book
is extremely strange, the book in its entirety, in comparison to the writing
that was done in the edits and things that you saw from this memoir book,
It's written completely differently. You got a strange sort of vivisection of the
book from the photo copies that you had, But this book is written by
a crazy person. It's all jumbled about, and there's probably i would say,
where you grabbed it from. There's probably there were probably some like post
it notes or something that like flopped off that came you know, you probably
like pulled it out from a tower of newspapers or something and they all just
fell over, And there's probably a few posted notes on there that said should
we really publish this? As is? Peter is insistent. I've told him
many times it seems like a very bad idea. I see, well,
I have I have the book and it's entirety. Now I'd like to skip
through it. And see if there's anything similar about this to my own.
Yeah, I think you can find the page that you that was photocopied.
It's not a particularly long book. It's almost about like like a magazine almost,
you know, in thickness. It's pretty small, lots of strange drawings,
notes, scribbling and stuff. But you find the page similar not to
the photocopy, but to the book of mine, my notebook. Oh yeah,
that's gonna take some thorough reading. I canna spend some time and do
that if you'd like, are the cats still hide? I I would imagine,
so, yeah, all right, I uh, I'm going to walk
back into the kitchen and scrounge around for some cat food. Okay, do
I find honey? Uh yeah, there's probably some all right shitty cat food
around. I'll mask cat food out. It's probably like in a bag,
you know, it's not well stored or anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'll take the cat food out and just open up the bag and just
dump it all over the floor in the kitchen, all out, spill all
the cat food out. Cats come running. Hmm. I'd like to reach
down and try and see if anyone will come to me. They're kind of
all spread out and going out after the food. But you can try and
influence another. Yeah, get it, get it, get it, get
it, get a kidding. One of the cats walks over, trots over.
Oh, hello, does it have a collar? Yes? What does
the caller say? Lemonade? Lemonade? Oh, what a pretty cat you
are? What a good push you are? Oh I'd like to just pick
her up, if that's okay, Just kind of gently, really gently pet
her and try and make sure she's all right. Rick slowly kah. Oh,
what a gold cat you are? A lemonade? Uh? With lemonade
and uh my folder and my uh my book and my knife, I'd like
to uh walk over to the stove. Is it a gas stove? Yes,
I'd like to turn the gas on cool and uh this horder. She
doesn't have any candles? Does she not out? No? Yeah? It
probably like burnt down to the wick all right. She has a refrigerator.
Is the plug accessible? Yeah, I'd like to unplug it and use my
knife to get some of the filament up. I'd like to just wind up
some of the filam in and bring it close to itself so that it's close
enough to arc and you've cut it from the refrigerator and still have it plugged
in. Mmmay yeah, well no, I've I've unplugged it, then cut
it and then fix the film and then plugged it back in. Okay,
and so little arc and I'll take another look around, and okay, I'll
take my book, my belongings, my folder, and my cat, and
I guess I'll leave everything else as it is. Come on them in the
end. We're gonna go on a little trip together. And I walk out
the front door. H we switched scenes. H h yikes, we switched
scenes. Mm hm, Remy, are you there? Remy? Oh?
Yes, Remy. When we last left off, one of the gangsters shot
you. Quinn tried to tackle them before it happened to stop you. However,
you fail, yourself get shot and everything went dark? Remy? Where
reading my own blood? Where would you like to be right now? In
my head? I would probably be at home with with Lenny, my brother,
and like my family, your family, I would say, so,
yeah, okay, where would you be with your family? I would be
in these village, you know, it's a kind of run down part of
town. And I got sushi, my fish, So I'm probably in.
Yeah, the room with sushi, and I'm feeding him right now, you
know, mhm USh, We're gonna make it. Man. I kind of
put all my eggs in one basket, man, and shoot, if this
doesn't work out, we're pretty we're pretty fucked. But be able to do
this. Put a couple of flicks into the fistbo, who were your family?
Remy? I would live with my mother right now, and Lenny would
probably be here as well. So this is before anything he happened. But
I had some times where he had shown me certain things, but there wasn't
any kind of peculiar things about it, you know. It was just kind
of like a yeah, sure, I guess sure. I think I'm pretty
good at photography, like I can do this. So sprinkle in some fish
flakes, some fish food into the the tank. Sush, sushi man.
Lenny Uh probably just knocks on the doorframe. It says, hey, man,
what you want for dinner? I think you know, like burgers?
You know again, Yeah, burgers are fine. Burgers are fine. It
depends what you want, man. You know me, I don't really care,
but and you're gonna have burgers again you actually want I'm a simple mann.
Come on, you know this. At least get something different, man,
I think, So, do you know any good spots perhaps that I
can something from? Uh, I'm just hungry, all right, man,
all right, I'll just pick up some burgers. Yeah, and make sure
that there's no onions on them either, because you know, I got you,
I got you, I got you no onions. I got you an
extra catchup as well too. Okay, all right, and get the spicy
fries, the Cajun ones. Oh yeah, okay, yeah, we're gonna
get yeah, the Cajun fries with the burger, no onions, like I
said, And all right, man, let us tomatoes. Listen, Mom's
gonna be pissed if you keep getting this all the time. But we don't
have to tell mom what you I gotta get mom some food too. Don't
tell you're not going to get her again. Yeah, but don't tell her
that I got burgers again, you know, tell her that I got like,
you know, maybe a salad. Yeah, you know, come on,
Lene, just you know how mom gets. My diet is not the
best. But all right, Lynn, all right, knah sushi. He
just kind of you know, if you're not and and sort of heads off
a man. If this doesn't work out, man, I just you gave
me a year. You gave me a year, and if this doesn't work
out, so he's like, yeah, you gotta get a job, you
gotta go to college, and already pretty fucked that up. So I need
to make this work. I really do, and I will make it work
for if I know, I know, I can write sushi. Yahm what
kind of fish is sushi? That's a bit of fish. Okay, you
just see them like grabbing some of the flakes. But what a life?
Huh, Sush, what a freaking life? How the hell did we end
up in here? This is something else, I'll tell you. You know.
It's a big city, so much going on, and here we are
trying to just make our way in this world. And really do believe.
I think we're gonna be able to do it, all right, Me and
y Sush, and of course lendin if you want. I can give you
a couple of pieces of my burger. But I don't know if that's really
what you like. You didn't really like it the last time. But maybe
you don't like onions either. I don't either. Coming to the door,
you see a woman dressed like your mother. However, you recognize this person
and she is not your mother? You see green dressed like your mother,
same mannerisms, maybe the same hairstyle. How do I notice? Do I
notice a like off the bat? Or is it like? What color hair
does she have? Does she have the same I would think she has the
same hair color that she normally does, but it's just done up the way
that your your mom would have it done, would have it Okay, I
think you would you recognize her? Yes, yep, yep, all right?
Uh yo, ma, I swear I'm not getting burgers again, like
I let me Remy? Ugh? Fuck? I mean, what happened to
your brother Remy? Huh uh? He went to get burgers? Us?
What happened to your brother Remy? Remy looks like, I'm kind of like
very I am so confused right now, and I'm uh, he literally just
left. That's not what I mean. What happened to your brother? Oh?
They they they took him away and it christ was in the actual Oh
god, okay. He he saw things the way that I saw things,
but was criticized more about it than I was. And I I just let
him go. I didn't do anything much about it, you know, like,
fuck this, I just want to know. Try to feed Sushie again.
He's just just like like frantically putting a couple of more flakes into the
not trying to overfeed him, but he's just like he doesn't know how to
process this. Right now, I feel a hand on your shoulder. Yep,
mhm, yep. I just want to know about your family, remy.
Uh so, you know they say that at least the whole Q said
that that it was a gift, and and and and Lenny told me that
it was also a gift as well. And it's just if I can't do
this, there's no way that I'm going to be able to get him back,
you know I I I wanted to only do it to make a living,
you know, the whole photography thing. I got a really good following
on Instagram, as you know, you follow me now, right. What
happened to your brother? Well, I don't know what happened to him.
They took him away. I don't know who it was that did, but
you know, he disappeared. He didn't disappear. They took him to an
institution. And it was one of those things where I just felt like I
had no control. But I had control, and I could have I didn't.
And when I went to actually go visit him, they said that he
was transferred away to a place that I just don't know. So I talked
to Q and she said that we're going to find him, you know,
Yeah, I no, I just don't. He's not he's not a bad
person. He's not crazy, he's not weird or anything. He's awesome.
He's actually amazing. But I let him. I let him go, and
now here I am, I'm alone, and you're not alone me. Look
at me. Remy looks at Green and he is Marius Green like very much.
So you know what I mean as far as that goes, So you
sort of like turn back to Green and she's wearing what she family wears.
Oh yeah, what about your mother, Remy. He's not bad either.
She just she doesn't understand. She just doesn't get it, you know.
She just the whole technology thing. She pretty much shut me down when I
said I was gonna try to pursue this whole thing in New York with the
big dream and I said, hey, I'm going to be a world famous
photographer, and she said, okay, got one here and he had no
idea what it actually entails. But I don't think she understands like what gifts?
I nobody understands you, Remy? Who does she? Que? And
money? They both? And sushi any right? Sushi? Let me?
I all understand. We all understand each other. I understand you so Green,
honestly? What what the fuck? Okay? Like you have to really
you have to be real with me, like who? What? Why are
they? Why are you always there when I need you the most? Or
when I need somebody? Like? Are you following me? Do you?
Yeah? I you want me to be die? I heard that died Green
Green. I heard that you that you died Green like I I I've heard
from a certain You shouldn't listen to what everybody tells you about me, Remy?
Who should I listen to? Then? Like? Who am I supposed
to trust? I don't have anyone except for Soush. That's all I got.
You need to trust yourself, Remy, What do you think about me?
Well? I think you're you're beautiful. You calm me down? You
me feel like I don't need drugs. You're there when I need you the
most. And it's I just don't know what to think of you sometimes because
it doesn't feel real. I feel like it's it's too too convenient. Maybe
you're just part of my imagination and you're like my my comfort, my spirit
animal, if some would say, but that's more than that, Remy.
I think you know that. I know that. But when somebody says that
you died it was decades ago, it's it's really hart's to process. You
know. There are times when I want to die me too. She puts
a hand on your face and she says, you have so much to live
for, and you haven't seen nearly enough of this world. There are beautiful
people and beautiful things. You're one of them. Green, I'll tell you
that right now. When I first saw you in the alleyway, I uh
ohs on, you know, one of my regular days, regular nights.
And I never thought that it would ever come to this kind of fucked up
situation where they honestly can't really comprehend any of it, and not many people,
but you're special. Your mind works in a very different way. That's
what Lenny says. That's that's probably why they wanted him, Remy, why
they took him. But who is why didn't my mom do anything about it?
Like why I don't get why the fact that's just it doesn't mean sense?
And why didn't they take me? Like what about you, Remy?
They didn't know how special you are. Okay, you're going to do great
things, Remy. Great, I've done great things already, and and cute
man, you were gonna like be the best detective duo and we're gonna take
down Placebo like fuck that ship. You know it's gonna be one of those.
You'll be able to do whatever you want very soon, Remy, I'm
sure of it. Well, I mean so, Remy looks up, it
looks down and he's like, well, I can't really do much with this.
It's like the broken camera. And I kind of and I kind of
fucked up, thank you, Yeah I did. She kind of lays a
hand on the camera. Something strange happens. You you feel something happened.
Okay, you see the camera what it should look like in your head mm
hmm, And you look back down and the camera is once again Rememdie blinks
like three times and it's just like takes a picture of himself actually just to
like see if it works first. So it one hand, he kind of
holds it out and then takes a picture. Oh clash goes off. Hey
do you mind if I Green is no longer there? What the m's hands
are shaking and he looks at Sushi and it's just like, uh okay.
So then he takes out the SD card out of his pocket that he had
from the other camera, throws his hands in the air and it's just like
puts it back into the camera and says fucking green. And he said just
laughing hysterically to say, oh oh that's okay, okay, oh okay,
yeah that just happened. Mhmm, yes, just christ I need I need
me, Remy, can you help me with this? Oh yeah yeah,
ma, ma, Remmy, can you help me with this? Yeah yeah,
oh yeah yeah, yep, yep. Job right, there's this TV.
Yeah, sure of course, of course, I got you hold on.
And then he goes in. But before he does that, he will
take a picture of the room, just like Sushi and try to look through
the actual picture that or rather the viewfinder or you know, just want to
okay, you cannot so mine it would be to do the illusion here if
I can, if possible, uh not like necessarily is he through it,
But it would be my enhance to wear one here and hands it wearinges.
Yeah, that would be the one that's your soul. Please. Eighteen.
When you take a picture of your room, it looks like your room.
You have a few pictures probably hanging up, I would assume, right,
do you have any of your family? Ah, the pictures in there probably
wouldn't be family members. I think they would mainly be you know, a
couple of clients. There's this one Instagram stocker that I have I just happen
to keep a picture of in my room for some dumb reason, and I'm
just kind of like, yeah, okay, it looks and it would be
one picture of me. Actually no, one of the pictures would be of
me and Lenny. Like young you know the picture of you and Lenny.
It looks exactly the same, okay, except behind both of you is green
with her arms around you both. Okay, all right, well, all
right, I better call up one of my homies and perhaps you know,
I just haven't had a bump in a while, so I think I'm just
ma Mammy, would you come here and help me? Yeah, I'm coming,
I'm coming. I'm coming, I'm coming. He puts the camera right
around his neck again. Then he shuts it off and then he goes into
the room. Do I go into the room? I said time? Yeah,
Mom, the TV. Okay, and that's a good place for us
to switch scenes. Max, Yes, you were taking a trip. Genesis
is curios and oddities. In the alley by the motel. You come to
the number of this place. You can see a metal gate that's been closed
and there is a lot of spray paint and graffiti and stuff all about what
do you do? And this is where the shot was supposed to be.
Okay, push on the gate and see if that opens the specifically the it's
a it's a like a pull down gate, you know, like it's like
it is unrolled twenty there, like one of those metal pull down gates.
I'll always see what you mean, Like, okay, like the shop front
when they close it up for the night. Gotcha, I'll just knock on
it. Then you notice a camera that's kind of pointed at where you are
where the gate is. I'll look up at it and grid just be like
the camera starts to like turn, I'll follow it open the door. There's
no response please try and influence other please. Yeah, the camera just swivels
away. I'll just follow it. Yeah, it just kind of stops,
no response, Like nothing happens for like a good minute plus. Okay,
I'll just open it myself, then, shall I say nothing? If that's
fine, Yeah, that seems fine, And I'll just just out of curiosity,
I'll just put my hands underneath this gate thing and try and pull it
up, just to see whether it's properly lockdown or anything. It pulls up,
huh, I'll go back to the car, leave it just like a
tiny bit open and go back to the camera and go you need to work
on your security camera turns away from you, and just lift it up slightly
and scoot under and then close it almost all the way down behind me so
it's not obvious it's been opened. Yeah. There's a strange smell of incense
that smacks you in the face when you open up the the shop door.
Little chime kind of goes off. Hello, humble looking store with very strange
things on its shelves. Hello, it looks kind of like a really bad
pawn shop. I'll just as I'm walking through, just kind of casually like
running my hand over a couple of surfaces, like seeing a lot of it
looks like a lot of dust. Sounds about right. I'll just be looking
at things in cases, looking at things on bookshelves and whatever, just like,
hello, you didn't lock the door properly. It wasn't meant to be
locked properly. Oh holy fuck. Hi. Woman sort of shuffles behind a
counter. Oh. She's wearing kind of like a an old looking sort of
kimono. Her hair is pulled up into a bun, gray and white.
She doesn't particularly look very old, but she's wearing sunglasses and doors. So
why why? Why have you got doors on the place? If the are
you doing here? Somebody sent me on like an hour. Some dude from
a box thought, sorry you is this your place? Maybe? Okay?
What are you looking for? A couple of things? Actually, that's like
a book and a watch or a clock. It's not very descriptive, is
it. Okay, it's the watch thing? I think it was a watch?
Is a timepiece anyway that is stopped but not broken? I think?
She sort of turns her head. Have you got anything like that? It's
not for sale? Okay? Why why not? I thought this was a
shop. What are you doing here? I'm I'm trying to save somebody's sister
and my own brain right now and then get the hell out of town before
shit HiT's the fan. What does that have to do with me? Well
that you you own, I'm assuming own. They are in the shop that
lies between me and the thing that I need. And box Walk dude said,
come here and get some stuff, So I'm doing that? Is this?
Is this another jump through a hoop thing or try and influence others?
Well? M hmm. Before I agree to anything, I must let you
know that I know you do ye how I've seen you before? Have you
been to the club? No, not the club. I've seen you because
I have seen the truth, and you are a part of things. Ah,
that's not just in sense as I thought, it was a whole like
nineteen nineties body shot white musks. Are you done with a clever humor?
Or are you here to learn something? Max? That second thing? Yeah?
Sorry? Better. If you have something to offer, then I can
tell you something that will help you, but you will not get those things
that you desire from me. I can, however, send you on your
way with what you need. I am so very confused, but I'll roll
with that. What can I do to make this stop happening? Because this
seems to be stressing you out as much as it's stressing me out. Yes?
Yes, you being here right now is stressing me out. Sorry.
I do have that effect on people. I suppose you do, especially now
what you know? What? Look? Do you want me to just go
yes? Okay, Well let's let's make that happen really really quickly then,
because I'm on the crazy time limit and I don't want to have to What
do you have to offer me? Max? What do you want about this
conversation to offer me? I don't know what you want. I want to
personal, Max, something personal to you that is yours. Look around Max,
Hm, I can show you and tell you oh oh sorry yeah,
shouldn't look shouldn't look cool? Ah? Yeah? Anything? Does it?
Does it matter? What it is? My time is valuable. Make a
decision. I want to give you what you need, but I don't know
what that is. Right, fine, if it doesn't fucking matter, and
I'll reach into my bag and just like I've got a sock, it socks
any good? Or does it need? Help me out here? I want
to make this stop. No, your sock isn't good enough. I didn't
know something that you care about, something personal. Surely there's something that you
care about, Maxine. M hm hm hm, why did you call me
that? Fuck it? I open the box and take the pen knife out.
Is that good enough? Fresh kill this ordeal? Wouldn't you what?
You know? What? I don't want to know. I don't want to
know. I feel like I simultaneously know too much and too little, and
it fucking burns you, like figuratively and literally, you do seem a bit
warm. No ship, excuse me. She turns and walks away out of
the room. What would they what? You've got my knife? That come
back? That's stealing. She leaves you by yourself for a good little bit.
You're looking around for watches. Oh sure you can. You can observe
a situation. Six thd cat asked two questions from the list there. M
hmmm, sorry, I'm just gonna make that biggest so I can actually read
it. What can I use to my advantage? M hmm. There's a
few really strange things here. I don't think you know what what they all
signify. But if you look at them from a practical standpoint based on what
you know. Mum, there is practical world with Max. Mm hmm.
There's a cell phone there, just on the shelf. Looks reasonably new.
I'm kind of prod at it. Have a look, just see if it
turns on. Yeah, after a second, it turns on. Kind of
look up to make sure she's not there, right. Start scrolling through and
see if there are any messages or pictures. Which do you check first?
Messages? There is a message to someone that you recognize, a text message
to Professor Charles. What does it say? Says? Uh tako Rea at
five pm? Sound good? Is that the place that I was asked to
torch? Or was that a different place? I think your first instinct is
that it's the same place. Oh huh, dance floor, dick guy and
interesting like people likes it warm. Start flicking through and see if there are
any photos. Okay, uh. As you start to look through the photos,
you're it? Are you done? At least put that down? Okay?
Sorry, you just kind of left me here. I don't know if
it was like a dramatic pause for effect, it's an I needed to find
something pause. She puts a book like a strangely wrapped book on the counter.
It's wrapped in plastic. Is that what's called visions? Visions? She
looks up at you. No, huh, where have you heard that name
before? That was the other thing I was asked to get. Is that
bad? It could be? It depends on what I see. Okay.
She starts to peel off the plastic and it's gotless film, that sort of
stringy film that connects. M hmm. Do you want to why pull something?
I think maybe? Quiet? Sorry, I need concentration, trying not
to break or touch anything. Okay. She begins to moan, and she
starts to hum and say strange things, unintelligible, like she's speaking a language
you've never heard before. And she says, she is the one, the
one that owns the ways. You are the one that owes owns the ways
you have, the key. You own the ways you have the key and
the way to end so many things. The end you hold requires sacrifice.
The sacrifice is the end, and the end is the sacrifice. You the
end, and you will sacrifice much, but it will and it will end,
and it will be silenced until another has been chosen. You own the
ways you have the end and and the end comes for you. You hear
this horrible snapping, the sounds of breaking bones, minor cries of pain,
someone stifling the pain, and then you realize for a second it might be
you. But you look and you see Genesis cradling her hands. She falls
back against the wall. Ship was that you? You're right? Let me
get some it's that broken. Let me just watch it. You're okay,
No, I'm not okay. Seen the truth? It's never easy, okay,
okay? Words every time? Yeah, I know that song, MHM.
Should have your answers. Now, it's what that's no? No,
no, no, no, no? What that didn't make any fucking sense?
Please? Ah, what are the ways? What it will? What?
Why is everybody being so fucking cris because the truth isn't easy to see
and not many people can understand it. You're lucky that I gave you whatever
I said. Look, I'm I've been told so many fucking different things,
and I need bullets for a fucking gun, and I'm told to come here
and get them. Gun A gun, A special makes me hot. Gun.
I don't you have the gun? Well, I have a gun.
The gun? You have a gun? I don't know to bring it with
you, maybe let me see it. Well, you just took my pen
knife and gave me gibberish in return, So if you want to want an
answer or no, fine, I'll pull it out and just show it cradled
by my waist. I can't see it with eyes. I don't have sorry.
Sorry, she's got her hand out. No no, no, no,
no, you can still hold it. I'm not going to take it.
I just want to make sure it is what it is. Okay,
I'll keep keep my hand on it, fully held on that, and just
press the barrel of it, not facing down onto the hand, but just
onto her hand. Ow ow ow ow Sorry, sorry, ship, I
need to feel the flat the flat? Okay? Better? How did you
get this? Some weirdo in a bar gave it to me? Was he
dressed in white? Yeah? She takes the top of nice. She takes
a deep breath. I should think so. Did you sign any agreements I
may have done? I didn't think it was real. I thought I was
having a fucking trip. They can't. They can't like legally enforce that,
though, can they? If I was off my face and I don't try,
are quite binding? That's what lawyers are for. Isn't it to get
you out of shit that you're not supposed to be in? Good luck finding
one that will help you with that. Fortunately, that particular weapon comes with
a very steep price. I know. Ah, so you've paid the first
sacrifice? Then first first what that gun can kill almost anything? And that's
what I was counting on. Each bullet is created with a sacrifice, right,
So when box dude was like, get me a book, get me
a where are those bullets coming from? You are not the first to own
that weapon. What happened to the last person? They didn't come into my
store? And I would appreciate it if you would leave. I don't appreciate
the attention that you draw tension from what I don't very wrong people. Please,
you're the only person who seems to have any fucking answers. I don't
want to come back here, but you're forcing me to just loiter. You
won't be able to come back. I need something I need. I can't
go into this not knowing not that's all I know. Okay, cool,
Thanks so much for your help. Thank you for the knife. Enjoy it
what you can. She sort of like, I really wish we could.
Sorry, She packs up the book like, puts the plastic over it again.
You know what, you reminded me of my auntie Linda. I really
wish we could have been friends, but apparently not. Must head to the
exit, and now you go outside. You see a we'll get the actual
description. A man waiting outside. You almost bump into him as you exit.
Oh fuck, sorry, hey, sorry sorry. H He's got cropped,
curled gray hair and brown eyes, dark wrinkled brown skin, about five
foot ten as lean build. He looks at you for a second. Hi.
Yeah, Hi, Have you got a cigarette? Oh? Sorry,
no worries. I'll reach into my pocket and just pull out my zippo lighter
and just be flicking it. See him walk into the curio shop. He
pulls down the middle gate as he walks in. I'll flick the lighter on
and just look at the flame and look at the shop and look at the
flame again, and you can just see my left hand just clenching. I
flick it closed again. We switch scenes. Professor Charles and Quinn. Where
do you go when you die? Is this together? I want to know
from each of you. I go to the street where my accident took place.
H I m h, go back to my flat in the UK,
Professor Charles. There is a sound of a horrific crash. Sounds like it
came from just outside. You stand up from reading in a chair. I
would say, yep, do you go to the window? Is this as
far as I'm concerned, is this following on immediately from what just happened to
me? That's up to you. In my head, this is before I
moved to New York. But yeah, I would. I would stand straight
up look at the window. You see what you would expect to be outside
of your apartment. However, it doesn't look like outside your flat. It's
different place, as if two places have overlapped. You see maybe the area
in front of your flat as it should be, and then beyond that a
very distinct sort of New York street. You can see that there is a
car that has the front end sort of crumpled, starts to drive off as
you can see a body lying in the street, a pool of blood spreading
out from it. Hard drives away. So I think, despite the view
and the disconnect that is there, my instinct would still be just to grab
grab the phone, the house phone that sits on the table next to my
chair and grab it and dial nine ninety nine as I'm like heading out the
door. As you pick up the phone, you immediately begin to hear Anthony
had lad if you'd come over, niece would love to see you. Sorry,
Liz, is that you? Of course to me? And that's what
it be. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I must have diulled you by
accident. I have to go this, but there's I've got to go,
Liz. I'll call you later. Your niece really wants to see Anthony.
I know that, Liza, there's been an accident out of the front of
the house. I've got to go, all right, I'll call you.
I've got to go, Liz, anthnny. Don't you care about us?
Liza? You're not listening to me. I can hear you quite clearly,
Anthony, right, I have to go. How can you prioritize someone else
over your own family? Don't you care about us, Liz? I don't
know what's going on. There is a woman covered in or somebody covering in
about your niece. I want if she's fine, what do you want?
What's going on this? Oh Anthony, you need to stop running away?
M hm h. Why can't you face your problems head on like anyone else?
What? Yah? H h is there a problem? So? Can
I really? Oh? Sorry? As ambulance please? And what's the dress?
It's it's twelve Sycamore Street, all right, there's an evidence on the
way. All right, thank you, thank you. Hurry. I opened
my front door and I'm I run out the driveway. You rush out,
Quinn. You are lying in the street. Everything is a haze. You
feel nothing but pain. Hello? Are you all right? Are you all
right? Can you can you hear me? Hello? It's all right,
there's ambulance on the way. All right, you're going to be all right?
What where do you hurt? What? What hurts? Everywhere? A
right? Okay, hang on, I can't breathe it all the way.
Okay, it's all right, I'm it's just slow slow breaths all right as
much as you can. Don't means I'm doing what I can. And I'll
look her over to see there's any like obvious bleeding points I can stem or
do you go to reach down towards her. You can see your niece take
her position lying there? Grass begins to grow all about her, maze.
I'll go Mazy Mazy, Maysie, talk to me, talk to me.
Anthony's here, Mazie, talk to me. Oh god, someone someone help
a Maze. It's fine, it's fine. Her head starts to turn at
an awkward angle. No no, no, no, no no no,
a maze, hold my hand. Oh why did you do it? Anthony?
To what? Why would you do it? I haven't done anything,
Maze, Mazy, Mayze, don't go, Mazie. Emily is coming to
stay with me. Mac Please, this is somebody, Liz, anyone what
this is? Please just stop, please, just stop. I haven't I
haven't done anything. There are lights that begin to flash all about you.
Oh what is it? And you feel your voice have difficulty catching in your
throat. I see, I see. The scene begins to fade, Quinn.
As you look up, you start to see someone just watery through your
broken body, hovering over you, shrouded figure. Dad. You look like
you've gotten into some trouble. Sorry, maybe I can help. Are you
prepared for the consequences? What? And that's where we're going to end the
session today? Oh what? Oh my goodness. Some dumb episode title ellipses
what question mark? Confusing you more and more every week. It's just to
highlight. Really we figured it out, pat tonight. If we figured it
all out. The gun is the key to the path to the door,
which is the ways to the gun on the key, which is the door
to the ways, which is there only is one. That's it. It's
obvious. Everyone knows that nailed it. Nailed it, nailed it. That's
the end of show. Good session, everybody, good session. We're going
to uh, We're going to go around the room and we're going to do
some end of session stuff and some shout outs and things. Let's uh,
do we have a tempo? Did he a f K? I think he's
a f K? I think he's aka okay tempo, come back tempo tem
and you hear me? So we'll start with you then, Pebe, how's
that? Yes, Echoe, Peeb? Yes? Hi. I'm Pumpkinberry.
I played Quinn for you today. You can find me at Twitch and Twitter
at pumpkin Berry. I am also here again on Sunday, where I play
an old woman sorcerer in Dying Order, and then I'm here again on Wednesdays,
GMing our surreal thriller Gone Ask Away. I'm ready. I have a
I'm going to have one question for everybody today. Okay, your question is,
mmm, I've got a couple that I'm trying to decide between. I
think I'm going to say, uh, do you want your dad to be
the person? Yeah, as long as it's not fucking you've already answered it,
thank you. Okay, as long as my dad doesn't turn out to
be what is asked them, Yeah, sure, that's fine. Okay,
thank you. Nicotine. Hello everybody. My name is Nicotine and I am
a role player here on twitch dot tv. That's twitch dot tv slash n
I K A T I Annie, I do well have grand theftdaughter role play
and I play doctor Ada Copeland motherfucker on Twitch. But like, oh god,
I don't usually play characters this scary. I mean, I want to
say that, but I kind of I kind of do sometimes, so I
guess it's something. This is my first you play creepy characters all the time?
Sorry, So yeah, that's a Twitch dot tv slash Nicotine and Nicotine
Prime on Twitter. Okay, my question for you, mm hmm. This
is a tough one. I think my question for you will be which version
of yourself, past, present or future do you feel the most connected to
right now at the moment, I think that Ada is in the process of
undergoing a transformation, and so I think she would probably feel more like her
future self. Okay, thank you, Jay. Hello, I'm j brittin
voice actor from some games and TVs shows and whatnot in the variety stream here
on twitch ja whatever is it? Twitch dot TV, Forward slash something,
Jay Britton. They go, I'm too fumbly. I'm still Professor Charles.
I'll be back on Sunday doing I think it's a bit of beat saber and
then some nonsense. But next Friday, for anyone who've seen it before,
I'll be going back to Alien Isolation in VR just before uh so that'll be
fun. I'll be a sweaty mess. It's horrible. I don't know why
I'm doing it. By yeah, basically I'll already be a wreck. And
then next Saturday I'm doing a little birthday stream stram if anyone wants to come
along. Yeah, I mean birth My birthday is actually next Friday, whax,
so be nice to me. My birthday stream will be on the Salurday.
Wow, you're gonna do your birthday on our show? Yeah? You
buddy, that's all right. You're you're welcome. You've got that twice twice
now in a month, right, because you had merks on for her birthday
and yeah, huh yeah, yeah, I'm doing it wrong. So I'm
spending my birthday in Horror VR and then a horror tabletop, all right,
saying in thirty five in style? Yeah, that's it, that's me all
right. My question for Professor Charles is do you want to save anyone except
for yourself? Oh? Do I have to answer? Honestly? You can
answer however you'd like. Yes. Okay, that was so loud I had
to look up and make sure it wasn't a sound effect. Hello. I'm
Amelia Tyler. I'm a voice actor for video games and should meet my microphone
when I'm drinking coffee. I played Max for you tonight, and I am
I'm underwhelmed by the complete lack of information I got tonight, like apparently I
own a club now for whatever. This lady who we went to see gave
me all the information I need and I basically know the plot of the show
now and nothing is a surprise and I'm definitely not going to have to rewatch
this entire show and write it down because nothing makes any fucking sense now.
But I did love that you played a character that could shut Max up.
That was amazing just to have somebody you guys like proper like Auntie on her
and just shut up. Okay, sorry, that was great. Question me.
This is a difficult choice. I think. I think I'm gonna say,
does Max actually want anyone's help? Yes? Okay, we have a
tempo yet tempo? You may have had to walk away. I mean,
yeah, I don't know tempo. Tempo. Okay, well we don't have
a tempo, but I have an idea. Do we have a home we
do a round robin shout out for tempo? Yeah, let's do it.
Do you want to start us off? Maybe? Yes? Sure? Uh?
Tempo is great. Next, are we rhyme? Right? Doing one
line? I thought we were each doing one line? Don't We'll tell you
that. You said let's do a round robin shout out for tempo. That
doesn't translate into let's do a rhyme. Well, we don't have to rhyme.
I just mean we're each doing a line. Doesn't have to rhyme.
I hate rhyming, but it's all about wow, offline weird without you,
thank you, thank you, thank you, yay back, don't dump it
on me. I did mine. Oh okay, Hi everyone, I'm Pseudo
