All right, let's go use the courts this way. You're the boss.
I start off towards the food court. Okay, so how will you're gonna
We're gonna shoot this is that you guys, walk off towards the stair level.
Shift the eye. You're trying to just like everything. It's quiet so
far. This seems to be an evacuated floor as far as you can see.
Good. You get to the doors, the scene lingers. It cuts
to that video feed that you left on the screen. As you see the
elevator doors on the first floor, the green light things, it looks like
they crack it, and we cut. See. If I was a better
fucking leader, I would have fucking had the idea to have snidely trying to
shut down the elevators in the fucking moment instead of walking off like a dumb
ass. I mean, you figured it out after the past. Listen,
Hey, you have one Okay, you know what, since it's not blades
in the dark, but also it's I'm God and it's my rules, you
have one flashback. All right, we're gonna use it now if you want
to use. Listen, an effort to describe a beautiful seed okay, fair
fair, fair enough, full shit. But for for this, just letting
you know, if you want to flashback at any time, I will grant
you one because I do like that I concept from Blades in the Dark.
I'll save it for a home. He's bleeding out. Fair enough, fair
enough, But anyway, we're gonna cut back to the freeway, back to
Midge, Jayburg, Gabritsko, the White wing Dove. We're kind of getting
into the late afternoon, right the sun is, you know, thinking about
setting at the very least, so a little bit more orange in the sky.
You're blasting down the highway as fast as you can. I have the
zero soundtrack, pulpit as hard as I can. Exactly, Yes, how
should I do this? You check the rear view mirror. You let the
cornis in your dust, and they were not in a position to really chase
you, but you know, even checking periodically every like fifteen seconds, just
to make sure that one's on your tail. As far as you could see,
no one is. Traffic's starting to get a little bit heavier as you're
going through it. People are seeing the shit going down in this city and
are trying to bug out. But it's not stifling yet the third time you
check it, it's not quite an explosion, but like you could see something
that you could have almost I guess if you had to describe it, there
was like black lightning as far as how it was moving about well back to
where you think that exit was that you had juked them off. That's not
okay. And there is a noise, but it's I don't know, disproportionate
to how big you feel it looked. Book starts going up. That can't
be good. Behind you, traffic's pretty light, and it's kind of far
back. You're like a few miles in, but there's like this. It's
not a speck exactly. It's almost like you would consider a motorbike size to
be right kind of moving in the distance. Are they trying to kail me
in spite of stuff? Let's put it this way. It's hard to see
what it is right now where you are, just how with how far back
they are and prating in front of you starting to get a little bit more
stifling. So if you wanted to play it safe, as it were,
you're going to to slow down a little bit at some point. If you're
going to try and keep your current speed. You'd have to do some legwork
to try and you know, dodge and a weed between lanes and stuff like
that. Am I in any kind of position where I can change my course?
So jump off a highway, hopefully not into chaos, but also still
make it to Fritz with the goods and the message. Oo, Like,
do I see any way to do that? You're like a good three exits
from being able to make that kind of move. All right, Then the
roads twist in a way that you'd be going like perpendicular. Yeah, they're
like perpendicular, Like you're gonna basically lose time. But you don't have unless
you've got some like dark night gent booster to jump across the rooftops. Your
shit's not back, you'd be cratching into the side of building. Yeah,
all right, then let's try to make some moves, because I'm sure acting
sooner instead of later is only going to help me in this case, because
I don't know what that thing is and I'm not sure I want to find
out, to be honest with you, So can I make a move?
Okay? So you're you know, try and like in and out of traffic
to try and like just basically keep the same distance from it, keep whatever
pace I can yeah, okay, can do. I will need you to
act under pressure for me, and I believe you have some driver specific things
you can I be able to hear right, be able to apply hot shit
driver in this situation? Yes? Can you roll edge for me? Right?
Nice number? Damn? All right? Okay? And plus you have
three hold. This can be applied later to do either avoiding an a certain
danger, escape of pursuing vehicle, they take control of your car, or
impressed, dismay or frighten somebody. Funny question, M Is it all three
or nothing? Or could I piece it up one one one? Like?
How does that work? Basically for the remainder of this scene? Effectively?
M you free in the bank? Okay? Okay? So if I just
wanted to apply one yeah, and when the situation applies, you use a
hold to do one of those four things. Okay? Which what? Danger?
Escape, maintain control, or freak someone out? Cool? All right?
Okay? So now I believe I will attempt to make some crazy maneuvers
to keep my pace. To do that, I need you to act under
pressure. You add your car shit to this, right, I think?
So? Yeah? Where is it. Yeah, if you act under pressure.
According to second skin, add your car's power to the role. Yes,
okay, then we'll pool adding your car's power then oh I have two
okay, okay, cool, So I just throw that forward. I assume
yes, yes, okay, we're going all right? Yeah, no,
just enough. What it happens in my head, right is that you just
see the traffic right, and time slows down for like a second as you
like, look, thank you, dilates for a second as you search for
the path, and then you in the soundtrack, you're in you know where
it is? You hit gip three times on the track listing, and this
really catchy, singingly sweet pop tune comes on as you just definitely yeah,
we're talking ninety us per hour in out in between lanes, in between cutting
people off, some tokyo drift action going on between corners, and you never
are quite able to get a good idea of what is behind you there,
honestly, especially if it wasn't Once you are cutting out between cars, right,
you get the same pace with it, so you never were able to
really figure out what it was. That's fine. That means they can't see
me if I can't see them eventually at some point the traffic is congested.
For that, you had to slow down, but it luckily was right at
the exit you wanted to take. Was eventually you take a hard corner.
It's not necessarily rioting here right there is unease. Everyone's kind of locked in
a little bit bunkered in because shit's going down in the city. Not as
much smilk and fire here. Basically, no, no, there seems to
have been a handle put on it at the very least. But the word
must be getting around if everyone's nervous. You know, it's as far as
you can see, you don't see many people out just on like the sidewalk
on this streets. There's like definitely traffic, but they're mostly trying to get
to the freeway, trying to get out as far as you tell works for
me, not the way I'm going. May not like it later, but
right now fine, that's future mes problem. It's fine. Special Thanks to
