I'm in the apartment. That stuff all on the floor. Everybody's gone.
I think something went wrong, something went really wrong. Let me help you.
Welcome to the doc this morning. Your eyes will adjust the time.
I'm ready to start, and I have instead of a recap, we gotta
have some love and some story loves in the chat for where who put together
first of all, a survey for all of the Nocturnals to vote on their
favorite moments from the entire show, and then we picked I think five,
I think he picked five at the top. And we're gonna play him right
now as our recap, as our final farewell recap. Soa cap. Yeah,
oh god, okay, so I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and do
that. Now. Don't cry, Peebee. I told you I take it
away from you. I needed more than you. It's just fine, it's
just fine. I just put my hand over his mouth and pushing his face
farther away. Fine, and that's when he dies. I start to kind
of Welcome to the doctors, Brier, wait and try and remember the voice
I used at the shed and reach out to Brian. Brian, Bryan,
your eyes just in time, Brian, I pulled the trigger. Oh I'm
gonna eat him. No, you're not. You can do this. I
believe in you. You can do it. I've never met you before,
and I'm gonna kind of lunch shorts them against her grip. Just let me,
Nobody lets He's alone, he lives alone. Nobody fucking wants him.
Sweetheart, I will give you all the blood pain. I can take it
away. I can take it away. Everybody leaves. M hmm, it's
so it has to be me. It's you you, Yes, yes,
yes, I'm the problem. I'm the one. I'm the common denominator.
Trick leaves. Nobody loves. My dad doesn't want anything to do with me.
My Granddad's the only one, and he's gone. What did you do?
I chose you? What I choose you? I'll always choose you.
I chose you. I didn't want to do it. What did you do?
What you did? It wasn't don't cry. I can't think when you
cry. That's wrong. Did you choose there was another one? There was
another you from another timeline, and both of you, and both of you
couldn't exist in the same timeline. What either one of you was chosen or
both of you died and I chose you. I'll always choose you. Bye.
I'm no less evil of this. Frankly, I kind of wish you
still think that about me. I deserve no forgiveness. That's why why I
don't of forgiveness. Was it wasn't your fall. I killed billions. It's
never coming back from that kid with my hands. So let's throw some love
for where who put that together for us? And love to the love to
the Nocturnals for voting, Thank you for voting. And it was really important
that we highlight the chat and Where did that for us because I wanted to
have a video that showed everybody's reactions to those scenes. Yeah, so I
think without further ado, we can go ahead and dive into the episode.
Is everybody ready, Edie is? We're gonna be all right? It's like,
hey, we're right, We're gonna drop, We're gonna blow up the
moon. You ready? All right, violence, let's do it. Okay,
I'm gonna play our intro for the last time. Here we go.
Fuck mh, I'm in the apartment. That stump all on the floor,
everybody's got I think something went wrong, something went really wrong. Let me
Welcome to the dock. This way right, we're going to begin today's session
in the veil with Brier and Echo. Now, just a short recap into
what happened we last left off. Echo had disappeared into the veil and the
rest of the party walked in to go and search for her. So we
are now beginning right here with just Briar and Echo in the veil. I'm
sitting on wow, what would be the flow, but just hugging my knees
and rocking so slightly. Echo, kill a cat, kill kill h How
that you you can't k m h. I'm gonna start making my way towards
the crying. I hear okna go mm hmmm. This is so quiet,
and that's just how I'm just gonna walk up towards her. And I know
it's pitch black so I can't see her, but I'm gonna walk over and
crouch down in front of her. Echo. It's just me, what's wrong.
I don't belong here. I don't know, I don't belong anyway.
It's not true. I can't I can't do anything. I can't jeez anything.
Oh, anybody says in me it's a reflection of somebody else's. And
you can't kill a cat, don't. I don't want to kill a cat
either, But you have beautiful, long red hair that nobody else does.
I think you're more your own person than you think. I spent so long
thinking that I was the long I was wrong. Yeah, and I couldn't
hear anything. I don't know. I think we'll listen silent. And I
thought, if I said the right thing, did the right thing, you
let me live like you promised. And now I know why I am here?
Why are you here? You don't even know? You're also say,
judgmental and slow and stupid with your easy linear time, and you're silent,
secret lying minds, and you spread to blades just anybody. I don't know
what you're talking about, because I've never blamed you for anything, Echo,
I gave you a choice to become something that you wanted, and you chose
to do that. Now a day to jeez anything because of what we have
to do to try to fix it, or every choice I've been given you've
taken from me, or somebody else has taken from me, Because that was
never what this is about. He didn't want another sis say he didn't You've
barely spoken to me. I've tried talking to you, and you recoil from
me. How can I have a relationship with someone who recoils from me?
No, I do. Always had a choice. When you step out of
this, whatever this is, you have a choice in that world wherever you
end up to be who you want to be, regardless of me or anybody
else. You say that, but every choice I've tried to meet you've taken
away from me. Well, somebody else has, because that's not why I'm
here. I've been waiting for so long to feel something like I thought I
would, like she used to, and now all I feel is just so
angry, And I don't know why people cry it hurts. You should let
the butcher Win shouldn't be more decency than you have. Well, I've noticed
that you're selfish and misguided, and you will mothers if you are who you
made me, And that's a choice that you made. I had no control
over that. I brought you into life, and then you chose every piece.
You pieced it together like a puzzle linear time. If you could go
back, if you could watch it, every choice. At least he's honest.
At least he makes is a murderer. All you have to focus on
is when this is all done, you can be okay, regardless of me
or anybody, and you can start a life somewhere else that's not like that.
That's not what I'm for. I know it now. She's in here.
You didn't make me because you wanted to create life. You made me
to save one that's already there. I just try to do the right thing.
Oh good job. I'm sure as you go on you'll realize you'll try
to do the right thing too. And sometimes you make mistakes, but he
never wanted me to make those. It's funny that you're you're speaking for me
like you're in my mind, but you don't know what I want. Nobody
does but me. I only want the best for you. Echo. I
wouldn't have it, could have made you disappear into all of this, but
I gave you a choice if I didn't care, or I wouldn't have even
asked. But it was all fair. It was for you, and it
was never about me. I'm a tool, I'm an ingredient. I'm a
raven because not a cat. Because a cat can belong to somebody and place
it isn't much value in something that can't be owned and controlled, something that's
its own master. I touch her knee, o't give my cat. I'm
not your master. You're your own master. The sooner you realize that,
the happier you will be and I take my hand off her knee and stand
up. I want to make a choice, and I want to make it
count for something you can. That's all I need to know. We're all
just so desperate to blame somebody rather than just admit that life is hard and
there's darkness in you too, and in all of them, and it's that
that makes you beautiful, not all you pure intentions. Hmm, I don't
know what you believe everybody's intentions are. What do you think? Icho,
Now it's time to speak your mind. I think you made something to say
for your sister because he was scared, and in the grand scheme of things,
it doesn't really matter whether you want me to have a choice, because
there is only one choice. It's at that moment, Briar, I'd like
you to roll for me, public or private. You can go ahead and
do a private role. Okay, okay, oh okay, I have a
question for you. Okay, it's an important one. And when you've heard
me ask before, do you want to know the truth today? Yes?
I do want to know the truth. It's at this moment the shadow,
the figure that you've seen your whole life, will appear before you, long,
stretching up, coming up from the ground, and everything else falls away
until it is just the two of you. Oh. Hello, I haven't
seen you in a whole Yeah. I try to stand up tall. How
are you avoid making eye contact with it? I'm trying to lift my eyes.
I'm here here here. Do you need me? I don't think so.
I think everything's mine. I don't know what you mean. I felt
the co and now I'm here here. Oh really understand? Oh you're here
and also me and also all this everything. I don't understand how it all
fits together. Don't you know who I am? I am? Oh?
Something that's haunted me for years? Are you sure you don't know? Bus?
When he says that, I look up at his face. Oh U
thirty eight. I'm gonna let you describe what this is like. As you
remember the events of your childhood, as you remember what happened my eyes,
it's like someone shining a flashlight in your eyes for a second. And I'm
standing outside and I have a stick in my hand and I'm drawing in the
dirt, and I noticed that somebody else is also drawing in the dirt with
a stick. And I look up and I hear like the creaking of rust
and rusty hinges and smell old burnt sugar. And I see a boy standing
before me. Me's smiling, big smile. He's known for his smile.
And he he looks at me and laughs as a woman calls him over to
a ferris wheel, and I smile as he runs over. I have to
go, well, I'll be right back. Don't don't, don't play without
me, okay, okay, have fine. I hope I get to go
next, okay, okay. And I watch him get on the ferris wheel,
and this man with long hair starts to fire it up, hitting buttons,
and I'm too young to realize that this fair, this fairris wheel is
just decrepit and should not be used. And he gets into what I think
is a it must be called a basket. I'm too young to know.
And he gets in with her and the fairs wheel starts moving. So I
skip over to the man controlling the ferris wheel. He looks familiar, but
I don't remember who he is, and fairs Kimbriar, Kimbriar, Come,
Kimbriar. Comb On the ride, I see the man shake his head as
they slowly start going up, but she gets to go next right, and
I hear the woman say yeah, yeah, yep, yep, yep,
yep. And as they get to the top they stop. I see the
man hit buttons and I just sit there, standing excided, leave, watching
and thinking about all. I hope my turns next, And look at the
view downing. Isn't it beautiful? Son? I hear them talking, and
then the basket starts to shake a little bit more than it should. It'll
all behead of it soon. I hear Jack scream, you promised that,
brahe I could go next then, and I see a struggle and I see
Jack fall. It's too quick for me to fully see. And then I
hear a thud on the ground, more hollow than anything you could ever imagine,
like an empty drum. And I see him laying on the ground.
His body is just broken, and his eyes are open and you can see
the light starting to fade in them, and one tear just slide down his
face before the light's totally gone, and I'm too young to realize what's really
happening. But like when you blow out a candle, the smoke kind of
evaporates into the air, dissipates, and all these little wisps of smoke start
coming off of his body, dark and thick and black, and they come
together and fit into what resembles a small boy but a shadow, and I
in the confusion, I just stare at his body and just to I am
too small to understand what's really happening, and the man reaches from my wrist,
but I feel these warm hands around my stomach pulled me back and noticed
that the man tried to grab me, but something pulled me away. And
then the memory fades into my home with my parents and I playing in the
woods and this little shadow following me around. And then as I grow,
it grows with me, so he smiling just like Jack did. And as
I grew bigger, it grew bigger, and as I grew more fearful,
it got scarier. But as I got stronger, so did it, and
somewhere over time I began to fear it more than love it because I forgot
who it was. But I was Jack, the brother I used to love
playing with and who I looked so forward to being my big brother. And
I remember seeing him on the ground and how quickly it all happened. Now
I remember that he's been with me, and he's been protecting me all these
years, even though I was scared in that time in college. He was
saving me from something much darker. But I blamed him. And now I
see him before me, and well, I don't have much of a family.
I always had him. My little brother's always been with me. I
just didn't know it. And just like that, the it's like another flashlight
passes in front of my eyes, and I relived my whole life and all
these memories and how it just morphed. And I'm back in the veil,
standing in front of it. Jack. It's good to see you again,
be me. I didn't know it was you, Jackie. I wanted to
tell you. I didn't. I'm so sorry what happened to you. I
wish I could have done something I didn't know. It's not your fault me.
If you couldn't leave you unprotected. The world is scary. I wouldn't
have gotten through without you. Oh, I don't know about that, just
don't want I just I instinctively tried to hug it. You can hug it.
So I walk up and I just put my arms around him. And
I remember and being my older brother, and he always played with me.
He always made time for me. He always tried to make me laugh.
And when I hug the shadow, I realized it's warm, it's not cold.
It feels like I'm holding something that is full of love, even though
it might not look like that on the outside. I had no idea.
It was seemingly strong being You're gonna break my back. I laugh and pull
away. I just grew up. Looks like you grew up to in a
manner of speaking. I don't know if I can follow you anymore anymore.
I think thing the next step you have to stays, you have to take
along a little. Where will you go? Now? Let me know who
you are? That's my next step stairs? Can I find you? I
wouldn't put it past you asked. I want to make you proud. You
already have you made me proud to that's proud to be your sister. I'll
take a step back try to save the world. That's my sister, always
trying to save the world. He dislike. The smoke swirls when Jack first
past, he evaporates gracefully into just the darkness. You can now add a
new ability on your sheet, call on Jack. Uh, and the other
one that you had you can change to become a shadow. So it is
now apparent. You know, Jack became a shadow out of his love to
try to save and protect you. But you also have this ability. This
runs in your family. Okay, so these are separate. You can still
become something dark, but really the one that you've been fearing and the one
that is the strongest, the butcher, is your brother. Hey the uh,
the fog and the darkness clears a little bit in the veil and reveals
Echo again was now standing. But everyone else is with you as well.
You understand that. Yeah, I I didn't know forgot. Like I said,
is you see for you to be judgmental, things are really well they
seem yeah. Oh, life showing me a lot of that lately. The
things you can do that that's a responsibility but also a really good time,
right Ray, Yes, I realize everybody's there and I like try to wipe
my face off. Kind of light in the mood? Yeah, did you
try to see any of that? Or I mean, I say, you
get all weird and sappy and everything. All right, Yeah, it's fine.
I'm glad you we all found each other in here. You can get
kind of dark. H Yeah. Did anything happen we should know about?
Oh? My entire life just unraveled. It's fine though. Oh that seems
to be a bit of a theme. Yeah. Why, I just learned
an important lesson about judging on appearances. Yes, we're all learning today.
Oh good, Well, perhaps you should finish this. Yeah, I think
it's about time. What I said about making a choice? Can everybody tell
echo that she is able to do whatever she wants? Because she doesn't believe
me. I'm not sure what you mean. She seems to think I made
her as a tool. He did? Well, I'm fine. Yeah,
my two cents on that is my mom and Daddy made me. I don't
serve them. But now I get to choose it. That's usual voice.
You're a maid, but m hm you get to deal with it from there.
Welcome to the greatest and worst gift God ever gave us. We will
hm hm hmm. Don't just remember who you're asking when you do the important
stuff, remember who you're asking. Okay, yes, Brian, thank you.
M shadows on what you think they are all. Just be careful look
after the things you create. I like, absent mindedly, like uh,
Lilith or you in human form? I think so yeah, yep, okay.
When she says, like you said, what did you say, said,
look over the things you create? Yes, look after, look after,
look after the things you create? I uh h. If she's in
human form, I reach over and and just I hold little sand. I
think Lilith would probably go stiff for a second, but then relax instantly and
like squeeze his hands super hard but not really let anything, you know,
and on her face. Mm hmm. And I'm gonna think really hard.
We're gonna be okay, right, I have no doubt. I need everybody
to roll for me. You've been in the veil for quite some time.
Twenty four fifty two, forty one, ninety one, ninety six. Oh
wait, we both revise you. My goal was already complete, so I'm
not on the find the truth out about Adisa anymore. Flipping. Okay,
so both Lilith and THEO you're starting to feel very uncomfortable, cold sweats real
quick. Yes, we did this before, can we I'm hoping we can
do it again. Can I switch Loli's roll to sixty nine? Yes,
you will use the charge for it, but yes you may. Yes,
I would love to. All right, just go ahead and subtract that from
your sheek. So can you describe for us what happens when Henry kind of
can feel her wave of sickness and kind of like the pressure of being in
the veil and you just say no or you just stop it from happening or
give her power. How does that work for Trick? I kind of view
it like like uh, nonverbally telling her not to fight against it, let
it wash, like let it go through her, let it like, don't
don't fight the wave, like surf the wave, okay. And it's like
in a handhold, like like I got you, don't worry. I'm gonna
turn towards Trick in that uncomfortable mode and say, do you mind if I'm
not like this right now, I'd be a lot more comfortable and not really
like this. His body is weak, squishy, I feel like I I
can't straighten my neck. You not at all at that. She's gonna like
let go of his hand and kind of shake her hands and take like two
steps back from everybody and then just burst into guts and everything into lost her
sound for some weird reason. Nice, I'd like to use observer. Yeah,
okay, oh Katie, we lost audio. Katie, can you hear
us? I don't know if she can hear us, Katie, c K
can you hear us? Yes? Okay, we lost your audio for a
second. Sorry, yeah, you're for just a second. We caught the
uh you burst into guts and then we didn't get the rest. Go ahead.
So she bursts into guts and then is her is her dog form and
like shakes her hackles and shakes all the blood and maggots and everything out of
her fur, and she kind of has her haunches up like you know how
dogs like make the fur on their back go up really high. And then
she's gonna go over to Trick and just start to circle his feet. Okay,
just don't forget to remove the charges off or transformation. And Brian,
you want to use observer observer on the oh okay, all right, go
for it, all right? Oh my god doubles in an eleven. Wow,
Okay, what do you Okay? Well, for what you see for
THEO is he's he's generally pretty pale and sickly looking right now, but he
looks like it looks like his skin is almost translucent, like he is ceasing
to exist almost Do I know what this is? It's either series bleed or
veil sickness. It's probably because of the ritual. Time might be short,
but he's he's sweating profusely, looks like he has a very intense fever.
I'll know about you, guys, but I think maybe it's time to get
back to that apartment. Let's let's wrap this up a what do you say
theo oh? Oh? Hey you good? Yeah, yes, yes they
should. We should go brier open a door warehouse, not inside it outside
I need to do ord. Yeah. I kind of forgot why we're in
here in the first place. I kind of look off into the nothingness.
I don't know if you can hear me, but I'll try and help.
And I just want to reach out into the darkness and open a curtain or
push through like I did before. Okay, why don't you go ahead and
roll for me? Okay for you, or just right just roll? Sorry,
I keep I always say that, but I don't twell. Okay,
before you can even like really reach out and try to pull back a curtain,
a door does open for you. Are you are you trying to hide
this or are you doing it in front of everybody? I'll do it in
front of everybody, Okay. I'll sort of smile up into the air and
put my hand on the door and open it and feel that waft of cold
air come through it and look back at them all. It's easy to say
you're going to do something. Don't judge when her parents says, don't,
don't be stuck on your ideas, and remember who you're asking. Look after
each other. When I go through the door and just close it behind me,
I move pretty quick to go through that door. Okay, you'll have
to well, you'll have to roll. And you've got a twenty percent shift
right now because your your role. Your last role was pretty terrible. So
twenty eight okay, So forty forty eight okay, Echo, do you want
to roll again for me? Fifty nine? Okay. THEO you do reach
the door, Echo has gone through it. So Echo slides through this door
that is opened for her and THEO. You go to grab this door.
This is somewhat a partial, so I'm gonna say the door is shut,
but it is still in front of you. It hasn't disappeared. Tim and
I try to open the door. I don't know what door that goes to,
and I don't Maybe she doesn't want to be found or followed. I
thought she was opening the door to where we're going, and I open it
to look through, not to walk through roll for me. Ninety two,
THEO opens the door and witnesses his worst nightmare. What's behind the door with
you Adisa being completely taken, unredeemable, unsavable? What does that look like
to you? Unsavable, unredeemable? What does that mean? That face that
occasionally got seen of her being in that nightmarish form, grinning with no skin
on her face, the skull exposed almost looks like the flesh melting, and
her then stepping out of the ritual circle, which she has never been able
to do before, and then walking into the town like I see. I
don't know how long this takes. I see the professor doing that, and
I grab his shoulder. What would you like pull him before you do that.
I don't Yeah, I don't know if you'd be able to do that,
pull him back. I mean, but Brian, you wanted to do
something as well. You both want to do something at the same time.
Yeah, so who get there? Are you closer than Trick? Yeah?
You could always roll to sea. Yeah, that's what I want to have.
How far am I from the situation? For everybody else? I need?
I need to know that. I think you guys were all together.
So when echoes door opened, it didn't open too far. It's not like
she had to walk too far to get into the door, but THEO lunged
for the door. So why don't we do this? Why don't you roll
a one D two. If it's a two, he's closer to you.
If it's a one, he's closer to Henry h slash All right, he's
closer to you. Okay, it's close to me. I like the use
in human reflexes. Okay, all right, go ahead and roll. What
do you what are you trying to do? Stop him and shut the door
before it even gets a chance to do anything, and be right in front
of them. Okay, So because we already are peied it. I'm gonna
say he opened the door, but you're in human reflexes. You're able to
pull him back and shut the door and saw Yeah, he sees whatever he
saw. But then you are able to shut the door and close it.
Yeah, it's kind of like a whip to my I'm righting from awkwardly fast.
Probably shocks the rest of you. Yeah, you've not seen Brian do
this before. You can even feel your hair move a little bit. I
reached my hand out to grab the professor, and it's just like watching the
road Runner, just like I'm just like, WHOA, don't go in there.
You don't want see that THEO. I need you to do me a
favor right now, Okay, I need you to focus. There's a task
that needs to get done. And the more you trail off the father and
father, we get away from that task. Okay, buddy, we've already
filed. No, we've not. We got time, So we have to
get out of here now. The longer we're here, the closer you are
to death. And you like, sorry, I'm already dead. No,
you're not. Trust me. You're here with us, You're here with me.
Look at me. You're gonna make it through this. Do understand now,
I need you to focus. Block that shit out right now, block
it out, all right? Uh? When he says that I'd love to
declare a goal, go for it. I need to save Adisa. All
right, that's effort. You guys are done talking in like a pausing space.
You hear like knuckles crack behind you or like because you're probably not looking
at me, and you just hear like, all right, you know you
only if you know little land the oh, don't do something you're gonna regret.
I've never tried this with anyone other than just me. But get close.
You're gonna want to be here here, everybody, old hands, I
think, and yeah, kind of like focus in on you, Brian and
nod and look a little more resolute, and then join up. You can
actually, Leo, you can actually take a five percent shift up because of
your interaction with Brian. Okay, all right, close your eyes. It
might make you dizzy, and I hope it works. So I grab Lili's
hand and then I reach out to whoever's next to me. I don't know
if it's Brian or Brian or probably me since you were Yeah, I grab
your hand and I wait for every ready to grab hands unless they're not gonna
do it or whatever. I'm a dog. I was gonna say, Oh,
I grab like like your hand on my head, Yeah, exactly,
like around your ear or whatever. I'll just grab whoever's hands are available,
Okay, okay, so no, okay, no one's abstinent to that.
Okay, cool, yep, all right, let's go and then I cast
the synchronicity. Okay, before we do that, I'll have you can roll
when we get back. We're gonna switch scenes really quickly. And we arrive
in the industrial loft aka the warehouse, where we see a melted Adisa.
Her face is skeletal now, her skin has like is kind of dripping down
her face, and she is frozen in the center of a ritualistic space.
Her mouth is a gape and her eyes are wide, and she looks like
she's struggling quite a bit to move or to stay still, it's unclear.
And then a door opens and someone steps through. You can wos you say,
of course, But you didn't have to. You know, I wanted
my choices to camp for something. Are you sure, yes, go ahead
and roll for me fifty eight Okay, go ahead and describe what this looks
like. It's almost like the melted skin from her face starts to become translucent,
becomes water, and just drips off her onto the ground and starts moving
almost like a snake, towards echo, until it gathers around her feet and
starts moving upwards and swirls and spirals up her body. And as it happens,
my whole body goes rigid, and it works its way up my neck,
into my mouth, into my eyes, and my face starts contorting and
I scream as my face starts melting the way hers did. My back starts
twisting, and I'd known it would probably hurt, but I never felt pain
before. And it takes over every part of my brain, and all I
can think of is safe the world, Save the world, Save the world.
As I scream and my body almost ruptures in on itself, It's like
an unseen force is just crushing me backwards and inwards, and then it just
dissolves onto the floor and these wisps of smoke come off it until there's nothing
left. We see Adza, who was originally struggling half kind of melted,
her face skeletal and bone exposed, she begins to regrow her skin, her
movements no longer rigid. Color turning to her face, she takes a deep,
deep breath in, stretches her arms out, looks directly at us,
and says, I'm ready, and we switch scenes. So this synchronosity spell
it's only for you, correct, But you want to try to You know
that. Trick knows that, but he wants to try to give it more
power so that everyone can travel together. Right, okay, and just so
that the audience knows for sure the synchronosity says, what does that say?
Exactly? Puts you where you're supposed to be. It could be the time
and place where a friend of your is going to need help. It could
be just the right spot to take advantage of a great opportunity, or at
least become aware of it. It could place you in a restaurant just your
two worst enemies meet to plot your downfall. It's not teleportation. You spend
the charge and leave it to the GM to decide where you're supposed to be
and to provide a rationale to get you there. No that just because this
puts you where you need to be, it doesn't mean you're equipped to handle
what happens. Okay, okay, go ahead and roll for me. Now,
how many charges does this normally cost for you? One significant charge?
Okay? All right? How many people are you trying to take more than
you? Four? So five total? People? Do you have? Five
significant charges? I do? Holy shit? Okay? All right, Wow,
someone's a good little savor. All right. Then okay, let's go
ahead and please a role for me. So you're saying it costs me five
charges, it's gonna cost you five charges total? Right? Wait? Wait,
wait, let me just count how many? Yes? Five total?
Dynamic wise? Uh lilith, where are you at? Significant wise? Yeah?
I'd love to know? Well, how many significant charges do you have?
Oh? I have two significant charges? Still up? Okay, still
up? Okay, okay, I have two left, and then I have
like ninety four insignificant charges. Good they're called insignificant, but yeah, insignificant
charges ones? After this? How many charges will you have? Me?
Eight? I had thirteen to begin with. Okay, you got You've got
a lot from that. Yeah. The experience, yep, I did pretty
well with that. All right, Here we go rolling twenty five good ship
man, yeah, good, good God rolls today I've been nineties, but
yeah, everyone else who's been born. Thank you. All right, please
describe Henry what this is like as you use this ability for the first time.
Okay, m h uh. So the last time I did it,
I transported me and my fucking escalade. Yes, you did p exactly where
you were supposed to be. But I think it I think it's uh like
a different experience for everyone, meaning like it it says it's not teleportation,
right, but the like the action of it is a lot like teleportation sort
of. It's like it's like you just know where to go and where to
be at the right time. So what will happen at the end of this
is a door is going to open for you. But you're not opening the
door. I should make that clear so you can go ahead and describe how
this happens. Like you just know where to go and you find the right
door. Okay, so we don't we don't actually move a door opens.
Is that what you're saying, You're going to find the door. It's like
being in the right place at the right time, so you just suddenly know
kind of where to go. Since since trick Is is a little country,
I think what happens was when he says, let's go, like you see,
like it just appears in his hand like an old style like divining rod,
like to find a well, you know, water for a well.
It's like a it's like a y shaped stick kind of thing, dowsing road.
There you go, and he kind of he looks at it and he
immediately recognizes what it is and he looks at everybody and he goes, well,
last time, it just worked immediately. Maybe it works different every time.
And then it starts like moving and stuff like a like a on its
own, like a like a Wiji board thing. He's just like all right,
and he goes. He follows it and finally like comes to a space
where there's nothing there, and then the divining rod like disappears, and he
looks around a little bit and he reaches for the space where the last like
Lucas pointing last, and it's like you think, there's another step at the
end of the step. Yeah, he just goes and it like hits like
something solid in the nothing and it goes like there it is, so there
is no door visible, but he does Henry does stop on something and Briar,
you know you're the only one that can actually reveal it and open it
here. But he has stopped in front of something. What's what's going on?
Can you do? I see him like putting his hands oh yeah,
oh yeah, and he's like stopped and he says, there it is,
yep. And I'm kind of like it's like in the dark, feeling for
a doorknob or something, and there's nothing that I can't feel anything, So
I turn. I turned to Briar, and I just go, well,
this is where we're supposed to be. Why'd you found it? Sometimes it's
hard for me to find stuff in here. I'm still figuring all that out.
So I'll walk up next to Trick and I'm just gonna put my hands
on the door and I'm gonna just attempt to reveal it and have a doorknob
form that he can use to open. Okay, go ahead and roll for
me in ninety six. Okay, So you try to open this door and
reveal kind of the way that you're supposed to go. You know that this
is right as soon as you touch the space. You know it's right,
and you're trying to reveal it, but something in emotion kind of comes over
you what do you think that would be? What emotion would come over you
now to prevent you from opening the door. Fear of what's on the other
side. Fear. Okay, so fear overtakes you and you hesitate and you
don't feel like you can maybe open this door. However, the door reveals
itself to you. I take a step back, but I know I didn't
reveal it, that's right. But I don't say it to anybody. Ah.
So, okay, you're trying to pass off that you did it.
Okay, Well I just know. I mean it's withholding information. Okay,
So I guess it is kind of lying. Okay, Okay, Oh there
there you go. It's some Yeah. Really, then this store is unlike
the previous doors that you've seen before. It's incredibly intricate, and it is
hand carved. It looks like and there are figures on this door. There
are six figures on this door, six people. And if you look closer,
you can see there you is it our names or is it like our
pictures? Your pictures. It's a picture of you approaching something that you can't
see. So it's your backs. You can very clearly see, you know,
o'briar. You're there with your short hair, a shotgun on your back.
Might take a second, but after looking at it, you realize this
is you. You've been carved onto this door looks like we got self portraits.
Portraits's probably really very accurate, very right clarification. Yes, you
said six, there are five of us here. Who is the sixth person?
Um? You can roll okay, seventy five? Uh, you don't
know, don't recognize the sixth one? Recognize the sixth one? So i'd
like walk up like still like kind of shaking at this point, but it's
probably from what seems like the fever, not fear, it's just who's this
and pointing out that sixth one? Do I recognize it? Go ahead and
roll nineteen. You might not recognize the figure, but you know it's your
sister. I think it's a Lisa. This is the right door. Let's
go. I don't think I can be here any longer. I'm gonna,
I mean, I want trick to open it, So I'm just gonna I
try to open it if there's a handle or anything. Ah, there is
a handle, okay. And you go to open it and it seems stuck
I'll try it and I'll go to turn it or try to open it.
Trick, Do you remove your hand from the door, Yeah, go ahead
and roll right? Oh, okay, sorry that it's okay twenty seven.
You absolutely can open this door, but it's better if you all push on
it. As I start to turn the doorknob, I feel like a whisper
tell me should all push it? So I stop and I point to the
figure that I don't know who it is. Is it going to work without
that one? I think we should all open it at the same time,
and I guess we'll find out. All right, all right, I put
my hand on the door. Put your hand on yourself, then move it
down after you say that to myself, and I'll find myself and put my
free hand on that. I kind of like, I look and I kind
of get on all fours and I look at Lilith, and I'm like,
and i'd like, I'm on all fours and I'm trying to keep what hold
on my headphones just kind of play hold on there we go? Sorry with
that, I try and I try and keep my hand on it while I'm
like down on my knees and stuff, trying to keep my hand on my
own portrait so she can jump up on my back and put her fucking paw
on the door. That's fucking doorable. Okay, so you're all pushing on
the door on your your figures. I need everybody to roll for me.
This is a big one, one sixty okay. Oh dude, you're all
successes, all critical successes with Brian in the lead. Oh my god.
Oh okay, that's crazy. Fucking hell yeah, Brian, good god though,
Yeah, that's that's insane. You rolls today. Fucking nuts. Okay.
So as you start to open this door, as you begin to push
on this door, you can all hear your heartbeat. It's now increasing faster
and faster. It's very loud. And then you hear this like clicking ticking,
and you all push open this door and you walk through. I need
to know what you're thinking when you walk through this door. What will you
do if you make it out of this? I'd follow trick. I honestly
like the idea of being like like a something like a bounty hunter or something
with little on my side, like like we hunt people for our like occupation
or whatever like that seems like the happiest life I can think of right now.
Po, there is my debt ah follow up question dead to whom the
pale horse Emma as yours the same and hear it? What happened my internet?
Oh that's okay. When you walk through this door, what would you
do if you survive this? What's the one thing you're thinking about as you
step through the door. I'm probably hoping Trick will still want me with him
even after all this is over with, because I don't have a family or
anything to go back to Brier. I can't go back to slinging coffee at
this bean after all of this, So I'd probably go into the veil and
start looking for things that I've lost. And Brian quite calm. I'm quite
calm right now, actually waiting for what's going to happen, worried about what
would happen. It have to be done if it doesn't work, and if
it succeeds, looking forward, going back to my timeline and moving forward in
my in my own piece. Okay, And that's actually where we're going to
take a break just a couple of minutes. Okay, okay, okay,
okay, we are going to stand up We're gonna stretch you. Also,
please stand up, stretch, wash your piss mittens. We will return momentarily
for the last half of the finale of Nocturn. If you have a Twitch

of a doubt. Nocturnal will be right back. Hello, and welcome back
to the darkness. Everyone, welcome back to return exactly where we left off.
As they instantly walk through the door and you are outside in a parking
lot and before you is an industrial kind of like loft warehouse with one entrance
way. There is a car in the parking lot as well. It's the
O's trusty old old vehicle, right THEO, the eighty nine silver Corolla.
Yep, it's the only car in the parking lot. Do I feel and
look better? Yes? You rolled incredibly well to go through the door,
so yeah, you look and feel a little bit better. Okay, just
figured i'd check before I was ste That's very good. This is the place,
be it? Yes? This is it? Hm. I look at
his car. Yeah, I probably follow your gaze and I look at the
trunk. One last check for good luck. As I start walking to my
car. I don't say anything, but I follow him silently. Okay,
is anybody else going to look in the trunk. I'm gonna follow, keep
a safe distance, but I'm gonna follow. I'm gonna stand right when we
entered and watch. Okay, there may be something useful in here. Maybe
has there ever been anything useful in their professor? Oh? Who has the
cat? Nically? Was I was gonna ask too? Was it Brian?
I think Brian was still holding the cat. Brian, are you still holding
the cat? Yeah? Yep, okay, okay, uh as weird as
it sounds. Yeah, the bodies have been useful in the trunk. Go
ahead and take out my keys and pop the trunk. Go ahead and roll
for me. This is okay, hold on, I need everybody to roll.
Oh, actually, I want everyone to choose one person that's going to
roll here. This is a very important role. Briar she just rolled.
You all have to agree. I mean, she was with me, so
I'm okay with I'd be okay with that as well. But I'm still I
guess the one that's turning the key. Yeah, yeah, well, I
mean that it doesn't matter where you are or who, just take the character
right out of it. This is a totally separate role for something. One
person's gonna roll it. You' all have to decide. I want the old
roll. That's that's fine, sounds good man. That's about time for his
for his roles to turn around. He's alright, all right, it was
gonna roll, you're gonna roll. Hold on, you're gonna roll a one
D five Please. I don't like that at all. One okay, Uh,
it's tricks body in the trunk. H I see you the trick and
I kind of look to see is that if that's confirmation on? Do we
all see that? Because I'm looking? Yeah, if you're all looking,
then yeah, you see you see trick. You see yourself. Although it's
really weird, the trick in this trunk has your old hat on that snow
I walk in and take a closer look. Well, yeah, that's a
new one on me. And I look down to see like if I can
see how he died, like if there's strangles, blood, anything, you
go ahead and roll a one D five again. Please, Ye, you
have your throat ripped out. Looks like a big bite was taken out of
your neck. I'm gonna put my paws up on the edge and sniff the
body and see if I can smell anything interesting. Anyone, go ahead and
roll for me, roll to twenty two. Oh yeah, you can smell
you. I'm gonna walk up. We were warned about this. Yes,
it looks like I look at Emma, maybe you had a hand in that
or some other beast different to you though not this one. Brian want to
remember? Oh yeah, go ahead. I was just going to say I
remember that forrit cass has stays stronger than me at all. Minutes and kind
of thinking like where's that, Emma? Now? What happened? Back up
and just kind of sit and be sad. I think you're closer to look.
Is there anything anything that stands out on the body? Yeah, you
can roll. Mean meanwhile, Brian walked up behind you. Were you doing
something in particular, Brian or were you trying to take a look. I
noticed I'm kind of stopping at the vehicle and looking and inspecting the trunk.
So I decided then to kind of walk up and see what they were all
looking at. Just on the cat mel up patting it. Yeah, you
do see Trick or a trick in the trunk. His throat has been ripped
out. Uh and he his eyes rolled out wide open. Yeah, you
rolled a sixty six. Yeah, So Doubles, you may have two things,
Henry, two things from previous trick or from your previous self, and
decisions that you may take with you. I will let you choose. I
kind of look around the body. I see that it's that's old me.
Hold on one second, I gotta type something. You peev you real quick.
Yes, the rest of you can rp your reactions to what's in the
trunk while Trick is kind of like staring at his body if you would like,
yes, yes, you absolutely need do that. Okay, So these
people I don't know. I look down and you see Trick kind of like
feel his head a little bit and then like reach down and grabs grabs the
hat and the glasses and you see him reach into the hat and he pulls
out a note and it says you might need armor where you're going, the
tailor h and I put the I put the note in my pocket, and
I put the hat back on, and I put the glasses back on.
Well, looks like we're supposed to be here. Thank you for that trick.
And I looked at Brian because he seems to be like the most like
knowledgeable about the rabbit and it's and it's comings and going I'll fix this in
a minute. You ever heard of the tailor? Yeah? Why is this
from him? Lucky for her? Seems like it that's what the note said.
What do you say said I might need it where I'm going. I'm
inclined to believe him. I won't take any hope he can get what do
you think lovely suit me? She'll kind of like snort and shake her head
towards the ground and look at it kind of she's her overall feeling is uncomfortable.
Yeah, it must be strange, Like I mean, this is a
reality in which he was wearing this and then got killed, and now he's
just put it on. It's almost like he's like willingly closing the loop on
himself. Uh huh. It seems almost too light hearted, you'll get used
to it. I probably won't be wearing it for much longer. What do
you all do? Looking? If if anyone's still like hid the trunk or
not? If they're not, I will shut the trunk. No, it
was just trick in the trunk. Okay, if he's done, i'd shut
the trunk. And all right, Well, everybody ready, might be wise
to look over to Briar. It's just shot hitting ready and well, after
all this time, I kind of remember I still have that on my back.
Now you're you're right, So I start digging through my bag to get
some shells out and start you eve ever operated one of those things before?
Yeah, my granddad taught me how to do this. I didn't like hunting,
but he thought it would be good for me at least learn like skeet
shooting. You ever shot at living things? No, I want a hold
cat. No, I think I got it. I used to shoot at
discs that flew through the air real fast. Well, this scene at disc
you surely gonna be fine. I mean those you're pretty torn up. Back
I cock it and I just give them a look. I'll be all right,
okay, Okay, like when you do that I kind of look over
and make your make eye contact with you, Brier with I look back at
him. All right, I'll get the door we have Do we have everything
we need? Bryan? You have those pages from the bag? Yeah?
If those that are ready mm hmm. Hopefully it'll make sense how to use
them when we need them. M hm. Trick be ready with I don't
know, no, girl, how you feeling at that. I'm gonna stand
up and get in front of Trick and kind of look back. I'm like,
yeah, she's ready. Who goes in first? I would I need
to make sure the door isn't warded to anybody else. Please roll for me
fifty four, but I'll swap it to a forty five. Yes, we
are now on the track of finishing my goal. We are. So you
do THEO. You know the door is warded in fact, but you've done
this how many seven hundred some odd times, so you know exactly what hand
gestures you have to do to remove the ward and what permission you have to
give the door to be able to open it. And you open it,
and would you like to describe what you see THEO when you walk into this
warehouse? It's very empty. It hasn't been used for originally what it was
intended, which was just a normal shipping company. There are a couple of
boxes here and there, but for the most part it's just a big open
warehouse, a couple of offices on the side, couple of lights on sorry
cat, and the right smack dab in the center is the ritual circle.
Dim lights, flickering, old fluorescence barely holding on. We'd blacked out the
windows a long time ago. Candles are lit. Oh, there's something different
about this time though. Theo. Uh. You've walked in here so many
times before, and every single time you've seen Adisa in different stages of decay,
she gets worse and worse and worse. But this time there she is
standing there exactly as you remember her when you were together. She's still in
the center of the circle. She has her hands out, but she's looking
at you, almost as if she's been waiting. Hey, my wild man,
I'm gonna jump out in front of Zeke and start to growl at her.
Adie, Well, I haven't. This is different. We cleave,
you're in kah Hardie. Oh, you've never been able to speak before.
H h, it's different. This time mum, hum, yes, why
why did you do it? Yeah? Why did you do it? It
made me forget? Oh yeah, I got all faithfulness. Well then,
and you tried to get me to kill you. Well, yes, you
knows this is the only way this can go. H you're in control now
though, actually, let me stop it. I still don't understand or but
every time, every time? No, this time is different, is it?
Yes? And I'd like to go astral. Okay, Oh where are
you? I probably had tried to step up in front of the group.
I mean I took I stepped in, and I probably didn't stop walking.
I probably got like maybe twenty feet away. So you didn't enter the circle
okay, Okay, no, did not enter the circle? Okay, And
you're gonna go astral? Okay, go ahead and roll pleaseee you sixty six.
That's doubles. That is under my governing stat but it's over your actual
skill. It is over my actual skill. So that would be normally like
a partial failure, but then it doubles. So something prevents you from going
astral, or something goes wrong when you go astral. I'll let you choose.
Something will go wrong? Do you want to describe what happens when you
try to go astral. Yeah, I try to go astral and feel the
protections of this warehouse start to kick in to prevent stuff like this. It's
incredibly painful for you. THEO, your entire body goes rigid. And this
is what everybody sees. You see, like THEO suddenly go extremely rigid.
His head falls back and jerks back, his mouth wide open, and he's
in a lot of pain. I stop it when I see that. I
take it. You shot gonna aim it at Adisa, and I hold my
hand like I try to hold my hand up as best I can, even
though he has his hand up, I still aim it at her. Okay,
and then my body would collapse as I go astral. Well, you
don't actually succeed because of the doubles. So something, something that went wrong.
I thought it was. Something's gonna go terrible wrong. And you can't
move okay, yeah right, so not quite astral. But you are now
stuck in place, okay, and your limbs might be slowly moving back behind
you. You might be beginning to beatle O. This is not oh I
wanted this to go. What are you doing to him? I'm not he's
this place is set up to do this. It's a protection thing. It's
hard to explain the reverse it DD Can I reverse it? No, there
are protections. You can't really move. You're using all of your strength to
keep the realities open right now and not collapsing in on themselves, so kind
of in the middle of something else at the moment. So actually this is
kind of good because I have a few words for you, bo if you
can hear me. What the fuck you bring my sister into this? Like?
What is that about? You can't respond back, but you just can't
move. There needed to be a bloodlink. Okay, well maybe talk to
me and I know over and over and over and over, and you're not
getting it. You'd still have send me back, make me forget. Oh
why would I if I knew or remembered, might have gotten here sooner you
did and you didn't. It's it's all jumbled up, and I is there
anything I can do to ease his pain? Because I hate seeing him like
this? So you're using all of your strength to keep the realities from collapsing
in on themselves, and you had to use extra strength from echo to do
so it's you're also probably acutely aware of how much time or how little rather
you all have to try to do this. Anyways, what do I see
on THEO and Odesa's hands? Nothing? Both THEO has a symbol that he
is like etched into his hands, so it looks like nothing on a Spingersnow
that we're in a bit of a clock here, and I don't expect you
to understand what do you need us to do? Then complete it, but
properly it. Let me go, Someone explain what's going on. I mean,
I'm gonna look back from Trick to a Liza, or from Trick or
I'm looking at everybody, but I go back from THEO to a Liza and
then THEO to a Liza. I can do something and not like this.
By're running out of time. I look at Brian. You can see a
little tear rolling down my cheeks. I didn't want it to I didn't want
our first well not first, but I didn't want it to go like this.
A Lisa, Hi, where's your wedding band? Hik? And govern
it to it different? So you're the same, You're the same one,
thank you? Oh do you have them? No? I just to become
what I am we no longer have them? No? Sorry, I think
I know what's happening here. Brian's referencing the wedding bands that were in Adese's
bag, right if you're not. You're talking about the silver one. Yeah,
the silver ones, yeah and then yeah, pause and thinking, yes
I have it. I have the silver one. Are they my pocket?
I'm just gonna walk over very casually and reach into his pocket and grab the
bands that take out. I look at them. I see one is bigger
than other, and I'm guessing obviously that's the bigger one. Okay, the
one you said bands? Yep, there's two. Okay, all right?
Is it bands or band? There's two? Okay. I probably look at
both of them, see which one is obviously more female or to male oriented.
And I just slip one right on Theo's finger without even thinking, uh,
walk over with the catman and I put I give. I go up
to Lisa. Can I put this on your finger? Brian? What are
you doing? She's kind of like stuck, her arms are still out,
she's you know, struggling, but yeah, she can, Ran. I
need you to trust me. I'm waiting for like a response to make kind
mm hmm, Brian, Brian, I haven't known you for that long,
but I'm gonna have to love him. Thank you God, Kitty. Can
I put the ring on Lisa's finger and I step back? What do we
do next? All the rest of it? Do you remember? Right?
Because you? And that was you pointing it, Emma, huh random?
Random? And we go, okay, have you got the rest of the
from the bag? And look everyone else? Are you ready? We're missing
one? Oh? We need the braid, Liza, any help? Braid?
Braid? Braid braid? Well, I mean, we had our usual
book. When I look at THEO and it just feels so wrong to not
be able to go to him and be part of this with him him the
branches, the eldest tree sor oven. I got it. I kneel down
and I pull up my pant leg and tied right above my knees, this
really old braid dangling front of it is a small branch. It looks like
it's petrified, and it's a weird black color with the red veins going through
it. Well, look at you. This one has answers. This is
okay? Is everyone ready? Yeah? I need everyone to be here.
Do you know what it. Do you know what it means? Because you
can't just I do I know what it means? Here from everyone? Do
we all have to know what it means? You don't know what it means.
We see everything, not exactly. I just need to know that everyone's
here. A cant six. I'm here, but I take a hand out
the cat and I point, are you here? I need you here in
the now. That's a tricky question. Okay, yeah, why not move
me? I can't do anything right now. Deal, we'll make it.
So this to sir, it is confused to look at Brian because he's been
fairly quiet most of it, and now he's taking charge. Do I notice
her looking at me like that? Oh yeah, you're pretty fucking observant.
I mean you can roll for it if you want. Sure, Yeah,
I think it'd be fair. I've moved my shotgun. I'm pretty sure that's
still under your stat is it? It's under your gravening stat Yes it is?
Oh good, right, So yeah, you catch a glance over.
I really calmly walk over to Brier and I just put my finger on the
tip of the barrel and just push it down nice and gently. You won't
need it, how did you have a fucking braid that's from petrified wood?
We all have secrets, do No one has pants secrets with fucking braids in
their legs. Trick cathelp but like smirk to himself, like pant secrets.
I'll show you pant secrets. I also giggle it that Briar was trying to
say something like really badass, but it didn't come out right, and so
he pushed the gun down. But it's like aiming at his abdomen. Now
I appreciate the human, but we should probably focus. Like I said to
everyone, I need you to mentally be in this room. Does everybody trust
him? Like, and I'm looking around at everybody. He's had a fucking
braid in his pant leg while they're arguing, what yours do we have?
I'm gonna walk to the middle of the room. I'm gonna grab the cat
pet it, pull its head back, and I grab around the esophagus and
I pull it out and I rip it out from his neck. This fucking
psychopath. Yeah, let's trust him. My tail's gonna start wagging this for
and for a reason. And I started drawing with the blood the shape of
the symbol I'm kind of I can't hold my stomach, but I'm kind of
choking back nausea having watched that. Yeah, Brian begins to trace over the
symbol that is already on the ground with fresh blood from this cat. Does
Brian have all of the items from the from the bag or like the photo,
not all of them? No, someone else was carrying the bag.
I believe it was Brian or he has the photo. The three photos are
in the bag, the stolen memory. Yes, yeah, there are three
different photos in there. There's one of Adisa, one of the oh,
and one of Amy okay, and THEO at the bag, right, Yeah,
I believe it was THEO. Yeah, so he's sitting up there frozen
petro fright, Yeah, yepy cool. Well, I walk over to wherever
the bag is. Okay, I grab the photo. Which one of them?
Which one do you grab? I grab all three of them? Okay,
my nonchalant kind of walk off. Actually, can you give me an
observation around the room? What's in here? Everything? Like? Yeah?
Absolutely, the walls when you kind of like do a quick three sixty,
there are some dead chickens on the floor. It looks like somebody was living
in here. There's a bed, but it's open lofty, so there's kitchen,
sink, refrigerator, kitchen. Okay, cool, thanks, Okay,
I just a nonchalant walk over that area where I can see there's kitchen.
I just kind of just underhand chuck the cat off into the distance and walk
into the kitchen. He's fun if THEO why did you pull him? Was
one of three left, and the strongest of them was where any of what
else there's you gonna do that? Because that seems like the right person to
be doing that. Apparently I would have if I could move. I think
you've done enough. What's happened in the professor edisa? He tried to do
something that the It's not that the room didn't like it, it's the room
was pre programmed to It's hard to explain, like he touched the electric fans
basically more kind. Yeah, do you only need you to roll for me?
This is important. You can use your your swaps if you want,
because this is about saving ADSA. You're starting to beatle. Okay, Doc
seventy nine? What's your soul stat lower than that? Okay? Yes?
Start the beetle yep, Like hurrying up would be good quickly. I got
a bucket of ice and I dump it right in the center of the circle
and can't hold it much longer. I don't know which one's gonna work,
so I'm just gonna put all three in. And I grabbed all three photos
and just drop them in. Sop me through? What does it mean?
Tup me through it? You need to know everybody's sitting the circle running the
blood? Please? What about what about THEO? Do we have to bring
him over? I think it'll be fun where he is that catch the I'm
gonna happily kind of grin and trot over to THEO and clamp my arm down
or my mouth down on his shoulder to drag him over in his beetle form
into the blood. Go ahead and roll or that that works? I think
hundred oh oh, I mean I don't think that's something I can I flip
flop that. No, uh, Emma, you miscalculate and you go for
his shoulder and accidentally hit his jugular, and THEO, unable to protect himself,
lays there. I run over to grab him and I just I just
shouted everybody. Now we gotta real time clock. We got about what thirty
second before he bleeds dead. Let's go him over to the circle like by
his fucking arms. Everybody get in the blood now. I snapped my fingers
and I want to use my major charge. For those of you who don't
know in the audience, a major charge is world and universe changing stuff.
Yes, I don't know what her major charges, but this is a big
fucking deal. So I'm excited to hear what it is. Yes, would
you like to read it out loud? I'm grabbing it really quick. If
not, I can, I can do it. You want to do it?
Since you might have easy easier, always do it? Yep, Okay,
I got it. Okay, I'm scrolling through our stuff, but I
know what's in here. I'm the shake. Yeah, holy shit. Okay.
With a major charge, Eiris can change history in a pretty significant fashion.
She can win the twenty million dollar jackpot, avoid an ambush that killed
all of your friends, prevent the drunk driver from killing your dad so that
your mom never married the guy who used to beat the shit out of you.
The mind boggles. Generally, the farther in the past the changes,
the harder it will be to pull off, and also the more drastic the
repercussions it has on the present. No one will try to make Hitler win
the war, or at least you aren't. One area that cannot be affected
by this power is ascensions that have already occurred at the time that you work
this magic. They are forever permanent. Any attempt you make at changing a
historical ascension is warped just enough to still allow the same person to ascend at
the same time with the same archetype as he originally did. What are you
trying to do, Brier? Oh you're muted, darn sorry. Oh she's
not. Oh she wished she not Sorry. I talk really quietly sometimes.
Okay, okay, I sent you a quick message in zoom. Yes,
because alternatively I didn't realize this, but h THEO has He's already ascended into
his archetype, so you can't go back further than that. I snapped my
fingers, and it's like in the movies when there's like a standstill and the
camera pans around and everybody's kind of in a frantic motion but paused, and
it's I can still move, but it's like I hit a rewind in my
head and it goes back and back until right before Emma bites him in the
neck, and I go back a little bit further and I take a minute
to think about there's anything else I'd want to do, or if this is
the time to just do a little and I look at THEO in his beetle
form. I feel bad for him, but I also feel like, in
a way, he kind of deserves this. There's some temptation on your face.
What are you tempted? What are you tempted to do? There's so
much that I want to do, but so much that I can't. What
would you do if you could, I could go all the way back THEO
never met Adsa, but I know that's not possible. You can feel it.
Maybe you even try, maybe even try and test those boundaries of your
power. But you know, since he has ascended into an archetype, you
cannot bring it back past that point. Maybe before you could have, if
things had been different. I want to go. I don't know if there's
a way to save THEO, because he's the one who chose this. I
look around the room and I look at everybody's faces, and I look at
each person. I look at Hima the dog, and I'm just gonna stop
Emma from biding as jugular. Okay, when she does this, normally,
no one would be aware of what just happened because we are in the center.
The apex of this time is fucky awful ritual gone wrong. You all
actually feel the sensation of kind of like falling really quickly and then being caught,
that fear of jumping off of a roof with no end in sight,
and then all of a sudden you're caught. Now you're back. You're back
before Emma has taken THEO, but also THEO. You can move again.
She has gone back to before you got beetled. But you all know what
just happened, so it's not like you have forgotten in your repeating time.
Thank you just played rewind her press for wine a little bit careful. You
got strong all right? Well, professor, so you can walk now?
Would you like to join us? Yes? Yes, Ryan, mm hmmm.
Does she have to die to make this work? No? Do I
though, No, nobody's got die. If someone has to, it's me.
I'm going to anyway. I remember that, I remember that. But
nobody's got die. We will say if you go, Lisa, please is
there? Everything is everything? Been re around vitual yeah, ritual wise.
Yeah, so unfortunately, I think you got to do that awful thing to
I'm going to the backpack and I'm looking at you. I got to kill
a cat again, you know that, right? No, that's fine.
I put the ring in his hand, and then I walk up to a
decent I give her kind of put the ring on the ring and grab the
right photo for me out of no wish one. I look for the photo
that includes me that I don't remember. I'll take those photos. As I'm
pulling back a cat's neck and ripping out the esophagus, and I'm starting to
do it all over again. The blood starts coming out of him. I
close my eyes this time. You're getting the photo ice in the kitchen and
I start. I'll go get it that way. I'll get that, get
the photo, and somebody please make him listen. I can't make him listen.
I don't think any of us can. He's just trying to help get
the ritual. Don't worry, He's just trying to help. That's what we
need. Okay, what do we got? Good? Jack? Can everyone
come to the circle please? Before we before? Yeah, once we get
everybody in the circle. I want to look at Brian and uh, let's
see where is it. Sorry, I'm gonna take all these glasses. There
it is. I'm gonna look at Brian and I'm going to use uh.
The spell is called mine and mouth go north and south, but it's uh
when do you cast a spell on some of their skill? Lying drops to
zero? Oh my okay, PvP, right, go ahead and roll for
me please right twenty three? Okay, Brian, I need you to roll
for me as well. All right, he you uh yeah, you feel
this go off? Brian. You're aware that he just cast a spell on
you. But it is and I'm not trying to hide it at all.
Up, I'm looking like yeah, like I actually tip my glasses down.
What happened? Please describe it? Yeah, what do you want? What
does it feel like? How would you because obviously they started thinkings, right,
trick, this is your spell, So how would it affect me?
It's it's kind of like a little bit like uh, being drunk without like
the queasiness or whatever. It's you want to tell me that you like vertigo
kind of like yeah, then I'm just loose in the sense of that information.
Yeah, I know, a trust from nowhere, like I trust this
person? M yeah, all right, So I just I just asked you
one question. I do that. I do this and take my glasses down
and look at you, and I go, right, are you on our
side? I'm not even skipping a beat, like I'm making sure the blood's
nice and even I'm making sure everything's lined up, you cheeky fucker. I'm
not on anybody's side. Really, You're strong with that. By the way,
you know that you are one powerful guy. I am very impressed.
Okay, where are those photos? Photo? I ran back in with the
ice. Who's got the photos? What a weird answer? Sorry, I
don't say that a lot of I'm still under your spell? Just yeah,
I know, so, I said, how long it lasts? Just so,
who's got the photos? Anyone? When I run in? He said,
you were grabbing them as I set the ice down. M M.
This is the right one. I think. Is duration of their conversation Just
a lot of ice, Just a lot of ice? All right, all
right, I was supposed to it means? What does it mean? Me?
Through it? A call? Hold this much? Oh? The spells
already over from Oh? Okay? Oh well it's the duration of your conversation.
So I'm going to say when trick is satisfied, but you know,
good, let's just let it run. Yeah, just let it run.
Yeah, Okay, some constraint on something else, not trying to the that's
a weird answer, Brian. You're not on anybody's side, not even your
own. Oh no, I don't have a side. I'm in the we're
all independent. Okay. Trying to save the universe with us depends on what
branch you're talking about. But if we're talking about this one, yeah,
that's in my best interest. Okay. So Lisa, mm hmmm, here's
the pictures of you and him. I want to hang on at these.
Okay, we're not gonna have to Okay, sorry, sorry, We're like
where would you like me to put it? I don't care. I'm just
quickly okay. Sure, I'm kind of like trying to tuck it into like
her dress, kind of like the pit right above, like test line magic,
so dignified. He will be safe with you. Now. I'm gonna
got kind of pat there you go, I got I got the photo of
Amy. We'll need that. Okay, good. Here, I just feel
my thigh again to make sure I didn't leave the braid raid check. Okay,
yes that ice here? Yes, perfect? Thank you? All right,
change it up at hand. What is happening? And I use my
oricite now that I catch on that something's different, because I'm you gonna ask
Trick he did something, and now I'm very relaxed at the same time,
So thank you, Trick. This is making it easier actually being quiet.
Well, that's above my or sit skill under my soul though. Boy,
it is doubles though, ye, so it would have been a partial failure.
So I think that makes it an actual failure. So but let's make
this more interesting. I think you can't really see because all you can see
is tricks Aura, because his spell has been cast around Brian. So that
is what you see. And so what he has said is the truth.
Trick has cast a spell on him. Why did you do that? What
did you do? So Chad is reminding me real quick that Jazz warned us
about the cleaner. M hmm. Is that Trick was there during that?
Oh I don't remember, talked about them a bunch too. Yeah, I'm
gonna have to default to you. I'm gonna trust you because I don't remember
if you were there or not. Yeah, because I remember that to make
conversation with Jazz, and she was when she handed me the pocket watch.
She said, I think that's like when that happened, she warned us of
people like coming after us or something like that. Yes, she did say
the cleaners were coming in like seven days, which is like a day a
day away from now when this is all done. Yeah, okay, okay,
yeah, So then I would ask Brian, are you one of the
cleaners? Brian, maybe just checked quickly zoom PM, just make sure,
just for clarity, Yes, m cleaner. That's a new one. I've
never heard that one. The groundskeeper arborous technically rangers sometimes, although that kind
of I guess it makes sense with the whole tree life thing and the branches
and binding. We talk about a lot of that shit, but ranger,
like really, it's kind of like, I don't it makes you feel like
you're more like a park ranger than anything else. But arboris if you don't
mind, that's a better cleaner. Sounds like you're trying to what do you
do? Brian, i'mand the branches and then I just continue on with like
making sure everything's right. I moved the shotgun to Brian, and I lo
a trick. I wouldn't do that. I look right at Briar, you
are so keen to use that thing. I just look at Brian and I'm
just gonna hold the shotgun on him. Okay, I think we're good.
Ice in the middle, Okay, enough, everyone can stand in the circle.
Make sure you are touching the blood. I think this is what we're
here to do. Brian, Brian, and I go back to the page
that was given by Lee as like, pull my book out to see if
what he has written lines up with Do you want to read it out loud?
There's the handout. Yeah, help me through it, put me through
here, it's in the bag. Yeah okay, it was under shift.
Yes, yes. Now we just need a destination and it's unparalleled endurance and
paralleled, a gift never given but desired, a never ending course preserved,
a stolen moment you never I'm mumbling what he's gone on that list. I'm
just mumbling it, like because I can't hold things back now. Yeah yeah,
a breath and body of a being between dominion and domain, your destination.
And I'm like looking at that hearing and mumbling it, and then I
wait to hear the destination that he says. If he mumbled, come on,
it's actually a symbol that he has to draw on blood on the floor
again as well, ayrolatry the Ranger logo for clarification. I grew up with
you and looking around the eyes. You gotta let things grow. That's including
life, buddy, And give him a little chip on the chin, and
I walk over to Briar grab a tip of our barrelaber shotgun. Briar,
Life's just a bunch of accidents that accumulate to an end. Can we end
this with a nice, just calm smile. What does end mean to you,
Brian? The end of this so the branch may continue and grow.
What happens to all of us? M you go on? Life is normal.
I look around the room. My finger is on the trigger of the
gun, and I look it for you. Let's make sure you'll have a
life to live. Yeah, you can't do this to me. I don't
want this. I didn't want to relive this. Can I nudged my head
right up to like Briar's ear really closely. Yes, Okay, I'm gonna
probably like lean in and just watch. Infinity is the end, and without
Infinity, it's but a new beginning. Can you put the shotgun down,
please? I lower the shotgun, but i still have my finger on the
trigger, and I'm ready to do anything if something happens, because I do
not trust him at all. But I take a step back and I'm just
gonna observe what everybody does. Another one down and make sure you just make
sure you're standing in the blood brier, please, that is very important to
the details of this. I'm gonna look at everyone to make sure everyone's got
a foot something in the blood. I go down and sit, I sit
cross like it in the blood, and I pat my lap for a little.
I need to know who is sitting where. So if you open the
Theo's dream handout. Actually I think I gave you another handout with the symbol
on it. Let me just double check it. Oh yeah, it's on
the rich page on the page four and it's a shift. Yeah. I
need to know which point everyone is standing in. We're gonna sound off.
The top one is one. The one to the right that looks like a
moon is two, and so on and so forth, three and four.
I can't move somewhat about you are in the center of the circle and you
cannot move. Yeah. Well, I would like to take the male if
Lila takes the female symbol. Okay. So I'm talking about the four points
that are surrounding her, not the not the ones on the outer side.
Yeah. So there's like okay, yeah, right in the middle, there's
a center ring. There's four points. Okay, I need to know who's
in those four points. Okay, I'll take the dot if Lila takes the
moon. Okay. Okay, so you'll be right next to each other.
So east and south yep? Okay, yes, can you you're taking the
dot? You said right, Yes, I'm taking south, she's taking east.
Okay. I'll stand on the sun as that is where the eighth or
symbol was originally. So you're in north. Yes, Brian, where do
you stand? I'm outside of the circle. I'm watching what Brian's gonna do.
It's one more spot, Brian, that's not mine. I need to
go here fill the boyd Please. Where do you stand in the middle?
I just stand. I at this point, I just go stand in the
last spot, the star yep, the west spot. Okay, thank you,
Brian. Do you know what you think you Please don't do it,
Please don't may listen to nothing uncut? Do you know what I'm really thinking?
Pattie H? Do you honestly know? Un hinted, unforgotten? You
know what I've given up? You know? Then? Yes, we need
to see this off and you need to let me go, and vice versa.
Are you trying again with you? Yes? What's he doing? He's
gonna try that spell again. Go ahead and roll boor and I'm gonna if
I'm still affected by that shift, it'll make it a one go for it.
Describe what this is like standing on my spot. With this success,
I keep my body standing in the same position without collapsing. Yeah, and
float above my body still within the circle looking at ADSA an attempt to swap
bodies WEDSA. I believe you do not want to do this? Correct,
No, do not. Let's go ahead and have some contested roles. Please
ring it Ranson THEO roll to sixty five, Adisa, roll foaty three one
more time, and I'll make that a fifty six okay instead of a sixty
five closer, but she still beats you, yep, sixty two, but
it'll be at twenty six. Come on, yes seven h PDSA, please
take it away. Describe what you do and what this is like. So
theo astral projects. Everyone can see him by the way in this space.
You see him leave his body and it looks like he's long. His hand
gets extra long as arm stretches out and he goes to reach for ADSA.
I don't think anybody's seen this before. And he's trying to take her,
take her soul essentially out of her body and switch switch them and Edisa,
what do you do? I can't move. But the second you reach out
and your hand kind of connects with me, you feel this cold shiver run
through you. And then it's almost like my voice is in your ear,
just behind you. Addie, you don't want to do this. You can
keep going. You can't do that to me. Trap me in a prison
that won't die. Please don't. I'm not having you in a prison.
I'm giving you me and I don't want that. Let me go. This
all has to be worth something. It would be worth it if you could
live just two quessions. There are other means, aren't there? You just
have to find them. There's only one with you, this one is already
gone, so make it worth something. I'm going to make her happy.
No, you don't understand. It's over after this? Is it? The
horse calls the words are important? Well the horse, think about it.
This is it. I have nothing after this, nothing that's service. Don't
let you be the last thing I lose. You don't lose me. I'm
still out there. But think about the words. They're powerful, but they're
not beyond at their poor trickery. You're a smart guy. You figure out.
I figured out and give it up. So at this time, THEO
was rejected and immediately shoved back into his body. Yeah, damn it.
Don't do that again. Mmmm seconded, won't do that again? That was
close? Nah? Say what? Please well back, I'll be back for
you and Lisa. No, you are not this. I'm so tillan.
You don't understand. You don't understand, you have any idea how much this
hurts. Please let it be over and let me take you home. After
all of this, you know what I've become. When this is over,
I'm still think you Listen, you'll figure it out. I love you.
Figure I love you too, Addie. Let's see this. I'm running out
of are you ready, my dear good. Yeah, to make sure Thiel
is okay through Jipplicata by the way, nice to meet you. All right,
I'm gonna walk up to the center of the room. What did you
just say, fuji plicata? Okay? So I walk up to the center
of the ritual where at Leisa is correct. I pull out my picture of
Amy, and I look at the room to make sure everyone's in their places
and everyone's sitting accordingly. Right. Uh, just to confirm, classic Katie,
were you on Trick's lap or not? I'm on the moon? Thank
you? Okay? On the east? Is everybody here? How about it?
Lili? We live through this. You want to be my you want
to be my dog forever. She's not gonna look at him but the tip
of her little nub nub and will be like in the blood. I'm ready
right here, m find me. I'm right, I'm already want to hate
those cupcakes. I look at her because I don't know how she would know
that make cupake steady? Oh all right, m hm, you know which
one's just Oh funk, that's hurt. Let's go. I'm just making sure
everyone's like getting everything off their chest, right, now and make sure everyone's
here in the present without emotionally going off somewhere else. So I being quiet
and humble, and they I feel that vibe of the room if anyone had
to get something just out before they starts that way, They're fully concentrated on
the moment. Yeah, and it's gonna be weird, and she's gonna need
some convincing that you know what to do. I wish you understood what you
were doing. I'll see you once more. I hope you will. You
can do me, Ryan. Now, I grabbed the picture of Amy and
I tuck it face out Ryan front of Adsa's dress right hair, so I
can see your face. Excuse me, my dear. I kind of wrap
my right arm around the lower part of her back and then grab her other
arm like I almost like gonna dance with her. I do miss our thoughts,
by the way, all right, and then I begin the ritual.
I guess muted apparently peebe Oh my god. Brian stands. Bryan stands in
the center of the circle, and he begins a low mumble and then it
turns into a growl, and then you all hear the familiar sound of the
whispering. His jaw begins to elongate, his eyes roll into the back of
his head, and he starts moaning, and then he shouts something loud that
you can all hear. The moon fades, death rides. Don't you see
the white spot on the back of my head? Gharoom garoon. The lights
begin to flicker as this ritual and power kind of moves around you. Everyone
can feel it. Your heart beat. You can. It's like you know
every moment where you were born, and you know when you're going to die.
It's like everything is aligning itself right before your very eyes, and power
is ripping through your bodies. And then glass shatters in the entire warehouse.
Brian, you need more power. You need I need two. You need
to sacrifices. You don't have much time. I look at the Sorry,
I look at brick brick rick Enama, enama, enama. I'm sorry,
sorry, sorry. The brands must continue. You and I pull them,
pull them. Trick and Emma, please roll contested rolls. Brian is trying
to take you down. I rolled an eighth. Okay, you are unable
to pull Emma, Emma, Trick is going to be pulled. What do
you mean by polled, is he's going against contesting against Brian someone physically pulling
him, Like did Brian reach out you grab him? Or is it like
a metaphysical I would see the center. Yeah, he's doing it metaphysically and
you can feel it. But you're connected to Trick, so you know what
it feels like. I'm gonna jump in front of Trick and growl at Brian
as a as a warning shot. So you find you are unable to move
from the space now that you are in it, you are unable to move
from this moon. However, I believe you have some abilities you can use
if you want to save tricks life. Oh God, did we lose her?
Not now? Not now? Okay, I can't hear her. Okay,
okay, okay, okay, okay, I just didn't hear anything you
said. Okay, that's okay, that's okay. Quick question. Yes,
did Brian did? I didn't have the role against Brian or not against a
role of his, because he's doing the ritual right now. Yeah, so
the ritual is just cast. I'd like to use a big boy all to
turn into my my big boy form. Okay, mm hmmm. If I
could please get some buss fires and chat. I would be so appreciative right
now. Mm hmm, okay, fine, I rolled a four O.
God's puffey, that's my dog, Oh my god. Okay, please explain
what this looks like as while you are in the middle of this circle,
the flesh explodes off of you and you turn into a spectral hound. So
before she's a spectral hound, she looks like a pretty basic, just a
big mead pit bull. After she explodes into just masses of guts and maggots
and bugs and every piece of refuse you can imagine. And in her place
is this. It looks like the same dog, but if you shoved a
skeleton underneath the skin of that dog that was far too large, and bones
are popping out at separate angles, and it looks like the spines of her
spine poke out. She has enormous teeth that looks like an angler from the
deep sea ocean, and she's just sitting there, foaming and oozing at the
mouth, and she's going to go for Brian. So you can't actually leave
your space, so you turn into this spectral hound, but you are now
stuck in. You willingly walked into the circle into this spot and claimed it
as your own. You cannot leave until the ritual is finished. But what
you can do is describe how your spectral form can save tricks life here.
You can't really like, I guess you could go for Brian spectrally. I
will allow that because you rolled so well. However, I want to take
tricks place basically, So if I was able to get in front of Trick
and be in that inner circle before him, would it use me? Yeah?
Let's just say when Brian goes to pull the energy, you just stop
it. You turn into your own forms so that you can provide enough energy
for the both of you. If that's what you want to do. Yeah,
okay, I will do everything that I can to prevent that from happening.
Like this. This is like an Adiza fucking professor shit, Like we're
going back and forth on this. I mean I have to, okay,
I have to yep. Do you have any spells that you can cast to
stop this from happening? I'm always looking. No, she's no, she's
my dog. I command her to stop, so you're gonna willingly go for
her. I just need to make sure this is clear. He is trying
to take all of your power to make this work. Yep. Okay,
So like I feel her trying to like to take my place, and I
just you can all feel this. I'm not there's no Yeah, you can
all feel this. You know what's happening. You can all feel that the
ritual is not working either, Like it starts to go really well, but
it needs more power. You all know this. You must not resist.
Everything comes at a cost. Then take me No, I'm dying anyway.
Just get it over with. Then take us both. Why would Davy sacrifice
for my mistakes? That's actually a really smart idea. Take us both.
Let them live, Yeah, take them, take them please, lie,
I take the one that I have, and I sacrifice myself. Mm hmm,
okay me and me right? Yeah. I think I don't know if
I have enough time to try to swap bodies with Trick, but i'd try.
You can roll and see if you're fast enough. That's a hundred.
But I'm gonna switch that to a one lock. And I see and feel
Trick being pulled. M No, you'll find a new master, I promise.
No. Oh, and pull you into me and let his body be
taken while I float above it there. Yeah, uh, you pulls himself
out of his own body, grabs tricks soul and swaps him at the last
second, allowing Brian to take all of theo's energy. The only THEO that
remains. Trick's body begins to kind of melt into the floor, as does
Brian's, and then all is silence. Yah yah, am mine theo's body.
Technically right now you are yes, Okay, I just rolled an eight
though, so in a couple of minutes, I'll let you make a decision.
Okay, yeah yah for the when for the first time in many years,
Adsa, you can move mhm, I just crumple onto the ground.
H b loo. I'm gonna look at him. Don't you ever ever do
something like that again. It's a bad dog. Don't be a bad dog.
And then I run over to you and I I'm just gonna kind of
fold in his arms and think to myself, I'm nothing without you. Do
you feel that, Henry? I reciprocate remember a promise I made for you
on a walk? And I go over to Adsa and I sit down next
door and I just grab her hand. Do you like chocolate cake or vanilla
cake? And it's important to know what kind of frosting because sometimes they don't
go well together. And if you like sprinkles, we have special kinds.
Now. I just lean my head slightly against the shoulder. I take my
head and lean it on top of hers. I take out of the pocket
water thirty. At it it's four point thirty. How much time was left?
Or is it just? Is it it's just now reading four point thirty?
There's no countdown on it. It's like the regular watch face has been
restored. Are there any windows? If all, I have blackout paper on
them, Like the glass shattering didn't break any windows out or anything? No,
I mean, I mean the glass shattering. The glass shattered, but
there's still paper taped to kind of the front, so you could go remove
it if you wanted. Okay. I kind of get up and look at
my body and like looking at it like the Professor's like, when I kind
of stroked my beard, like, man, I hope this isn't forever.
I look at my pants. I'm like, now, I really hope this
isn't forever. When I go to the door that we came in and I
opened it up to see what the day looks looks like it's twilight. It's
four point thirty. It looks like dusk, like the sun's about to set
soon. It's been a while since you've seen this. Actually, I pull
up my phone just to see what time it is. On my phone,
it's four thirty. I stare at it and I count sixty seconds, and
I just put my phone down, put it in my pocket, and I
called Lilith over. Heyllot hm, I want you to see something. She
trots over, but she still kind of gives him side eye because he looks
like the oh, I know what I look like. I'm sorry. Hopefully
we can do something about that. But I take out my phone. Oh
wait, wait, wait, Millie had to mill went down and coming back.
Okay, she's going to rejoin. Okay, did a fuck up the
entire camera system? It did? She's coming right back. Perfect. Hey,
milliyy does that work? Yes? It works? Okay, please continue
on kidding me. So I take out the phone and I uh, I
show it to Lilith. I point to the I pointed four thirty one,
probably maybe four thirty two now, and I pointed to it. I'm gonna
start wagging my tail and just start to like lick the face of the watch
uncontrollably with my big nasty spectral tongue. It's four thirty one. Am I
still seeing him in theo's body? Ah? Yeah, yeah, we're gonna
miss mc diver. I hear that, and I look over at Adiza.
I kind of looked down my body and I look back up there. You
know what happened? You know what he did? He knew I didn't want
to. He didn't cut You know how that feels now. Never thought I
would in my life, but I know what it feels like to want to
be willing to do anything for someone you love. Don't cry for him.
He would have made the same choice and did every time. Yeah, yeah,
well we've been doing this so long. I don't know what the fuck
did you now? H What do you think, Louis County Hunters? He's
gonna let out a little playful like yip and do a little hop around him.
Why do you say we steal the professor's car? He ain't gonna need
it? What you mean, Yoka? I go to that, I go
to like like wherever the like. It was just his body right all right.
I woke up and thought, yeah, you're oh I like, I
like look over to where his body was and I go, oh, that's
right. And I look at my pockets and I probably I mean, I
gotta have the keys, you do, Yeah, I look at my pockets.
I'm like, However, he didn't even realize, like the phone I
was looking at. Yeah, I don't have the pocket watch because that it's
melted. Well, only you melted. So I was just about to say,
all of your clothes and ship are on the ground, if you okay,
So yeah, I don't take any of the clothes. I just take
the hat. I figured. I grabbed the keys, and I have the
keys in my pocket from the professor. That looks pretty weird on me,
it does. It kind of sits funny on my hair kind of just lays
on top of it in this beard m hm. And I kind of like
preaching. It's like you can get some oil or something. So, uh,
I don't know if we've ever properly introduced ourselves. Yea, my name
is Henry. Nice to meet you. This is kind of text and getting
used to and I can't meet his eyes properly. I keep darting up and
seeing THEO and it's it's too much and I know what we know what I
really wonder, I really wonder right now. H m hmm. I wonder
what your lecture was gonna be about. I only ever got the title.
What you're expecting behind THEO. I'm gonna come back into my human form and
stand up and just kind of like brush myself off. Yo, you drop
bounty hunter titles and you're introducing people. I'm hungry, well hungry for what
I mean? Do you have to turn the bounties in? I don't know,
kid, maybe if they're real bad, we don't. I like that
idea better. I figure don't eat too much though. I don't want to
end up like a guy in the trunk. I'll do my best. Just
let me know. Just keep me posted. How many folks you end up
eating? Yeah? How about it? Pancakes? Something I want to do.
I can catch up later. Maybe? All right, well leave me.
I was gonna take you with me. Somebody I want you to meet.
M all right, they get squishy. We should go find food.
Let's do that. Which pancakes? Do you want to drive? Or do
you want me to drive? You want to stand it out the window.
I'm gonna look at my like gooey blood, maggot covered hands. I just
don't you should all right, I'll probably drive. I'll drive, I'll drive.
Then I walk out the door and I'm gonna trot after him and have
his hand on the way out. Big house will come later. Yeah,
I'm pretty chill between the two of us that can figure out. Yeah,
it's not like a Denny's. I think, so, well, that's probably
there. So I know we didn't get off on the right. But come
to the stomach. Sorry, I have a try. I have trouble trusting
people. I don't know if you knew that. Sh h. But can
I show you something? Mm hmm. And I stand up and I put
my hand down to help her up. I'll take it. And I want
to open the curtain, but I want to open it really wide, so
it's not scary or daunting, and I'll see if I can somehow get some
lights in there. You can do whatever you want. So I'm going to
open it, and it's like LEDs are just lit along a walkway, but
it's still dark, but it's warm. And I take her hand. Oh,
you know, I made a little prissy for me. I think you
might like this place. If not, just let me know. It's kind
of dark. Maybe can get more lights in here or something. It's okay,
I remember, And as we walk in all the way at the end
of this long kind of hallway lit by lights is a small shadow boy and
I just take her hand and walk her all the way down. I don't
know if you remember Jack, but I wanted you to see him. I
remember everything, hey, and kneel down next to him and change my mind
and get cross legged. Lo time no see, yeah, m good to
see you both together again and again again. It's nice that we're all together
again, is it? I mean it is, but what it feel?
All goes wrong again? We always have here, Yeah, squeeze her hand
and reach out and if I can squeeze Jack's handle, squeezes as well.
I sit down cross legged next to her. You have a lot to ketch
up on, I think, all of us. Last thing you think,
And that's where we fade out. Briar and Adisa go into the veil.
Henry and Emma go off to get pancakes, and what's left of the industrial
loft warehouse, some broken windows, some black paper, and left of the
ritual starts to fade as they leave, but something lingers. One thing lingers,
you can come back for you. Mhm h I did it? Yes,
I so that good, BIETI I'm ready for my service. Now let's
go. Let's go. Let's go, my horse. I only ask one
final thing and then you'll have me. Let me be the one to take
her in the end when it is her time. And that is where we
end NOC turn. Yeah, well done everything. Oh you just had to
get one last job and didn't you? Cool? Oh I'm dead? Wow?
Is this right? I think I got it right? Fucking Let's do
some shows. Let's do some shout outs to the song the Power of Friendship.
Aah, let's start with Millie. Final shout outs. Let's go.
Oh, my jewel is actually doing that thing when it's really cold shattering.

too much to process. But thank you all for letting me be part of
this. It's been a pleasure see your everybody. Want to ride, want

it's it's nice to have an ending mean something makes it makes it mean
something. But we had a we had a journey, and we came to
a good end. Thank you all for joining us. This has been a
hell of a thing, hell of an experience. I enjoyed every second of
it. I'm grateful that I got the opportunity to role play with such fearless,
vulnerable, amazing people. Goddamn man, goddamn dude. This is a
fucking goddamn show and I loved every second of it. And if you want
to find me doing stuff that you can somewhere on the internet you can find

my entire streaming setup and loading it in the truck for my for my trip
to Denver. I'm leaving the man, yep, making it happen. Got
this brother, man, It's gonna be fun. It's gonna be great.
I can't wait excited. So next chapter, oh god, literally both both
next chapters. Yeah, that's why. That's honestly, like if if you
want to know, I could have I could have left on Tuesday, like
it actually all like it all came together, like it was fucked up and
then it unfucked itself, and I could have loved on Tuesday. And then
I thought, I don't want to be in a space where I'm rushing,
uncomfortable or whatever to do the last thing of Nock Turn. I want to
be I want to be home for that. So glad I'm leaving tomorrow or
not. I didn't leave yesterday. That's all. Thanks person, Dan,
you're up. Hi there, I'm domestic Dan. I got to play doctor
Theo Ransom here and it was a I got to play him. It was
an absolute blast. Thank you so much cast mates for not hating me,
just hating Theo. Yeah, until the next thing happens, there is a
nocturne sized hole in my heart. So that's it for me. C K,

the hardest part of my life probably, I've like gone from having full blown
panic attacks during this show to being great and this show helped a lot with
that. It was like there's and it was a fucking honor to just be
fools on the internet with you guys every Wednesday. My life is empty without
you and I just can't wait for the next thing. I'm ready. And
Emma was cool. Emma was incredible. It was dope to play. I'm
gonna miss her. I'm gonna keep this in a little ox commemorate her.
She was good. She was good for me. That's all I got.

I'm Katie Peter's place. It was an honor our pinging all of these amazing
people and being GMed by Peb. I'm going to try not to cry.
I'm not a very emotional person, and I know that doesn't make sense watching
Briar cry a lot, but I'm not used to. E Yeah. It
great people, so I just appreciate the opportunity to get to know everybody too,
in the cast and the whole freaking community has blown my mind. I
use this today. Someone gave me a sleepy bean mug. Oh and I
got this for good luck today. Oh my god. And it's going to
be really weird, not playing like I was putting it. This is silly.
And my blue hair clip today and I was like, this is the
last time I'm going to do this for a Briar. So just thank you
Peeb for including me in this. And it's been literally magical to do all
of this with all of you. Thank you thank that's being my sister making
cupcakes. Some day pupcakes. Go follow Katie Peters Place twitch on TV slash
Katie Peter's Place. Please packs you're up, Hi, you really value something
when you know what's gonna end. UH one an honor and a privilege to
be a part of this ensemble. H the incredible talents of pebe to pull
the best of us and the ridiculous amount of ours is put into this.
Thank you so much, Zeke for showing so much growth and trying to lift
everybody up to keep their stories higher. Thank you Dan for UH bringing an
array of emotions that we could pour onto your character from those are the good
times and the bad. Thank you Amelia for dipping your toe into this and
bringing your talents along with you and what you considered an accent role. I
think you you took that role head on and made it into your own and
it was fantastic. Thank you Katie for your incredible classic Katie for your incredible
wit humor. Even in the darkest times, you can get a chuckle out
of all of us, and your energy that is so easy to feed off
of. Thank you KPP for bringing your gentle and innocence. Along with this,
you can feel that warmth that we can resonate off of when you're ever,
you're doing your roles, and it's it's really nice. Really, I
don't know how to weard that up properly. Uh, make sure to check
everything else, the table story. Does they really care? They really care?
That's it. The sheer, astounding amount of production value that this has,
not only by people who are involved with a channel, but the fans,
like everybody. I had no idea because I I come from like,
you know, roleplay and shit like that, where it frequently gets like two
k plus or minus viewers, and this like with like not even less than
a half of that audience, does ten times the amount of like it feels
like ten times the amount of love. It really does. The passion is
there, and it's it's it's a sight to behold. I mean, I
don't I'm not bad amounting roleplay or anything like that. I'm just saying,
like, there's a palpable difference. Obviously, I'm not bad mouthing, and
I've been doing it for years. I don't think anybody took it that way.
GP might he's kind of a dick. I uh I had something prepared,
but I can't. I really just can't. Do you ever written down?
You can send it to me, I'll say it. I have it
in my notebook. I would like to just say that I'm so grateful this
journey started a year ago, like it's the finale. Firstitching happened a year
ago like today or yesterday on Halloween or tomorrow on Halloween. And I didn't
realize that until today. So this world that I built, you know,
it's it's it's been a lot, and I did put a lot of heart
into it and just seeing the players bring it to life in a way.
I wrote twenty two different endings and it wasn't this one, you know,
like that's just the life of a GM right, Like yeah, I uh,
I'm so so proud to have worked with you and to have created with
each and every one of you. Thank you for saying yes to my crazy
idea and forgiving it one hundred and ten percent when I know it was hard,
and I know that there were challenging moments, and I know there was
frustration. I know there was I don't know, like dark places that you
went to to be able to bring these people to life and make these people
real. But it would be nothing without each and every one of you,
and I really appreciate it. Thank you for all the one shots you gave
one hundred and fifty to that too, Those were some of my favorites.
Thank you to the Nocturnals for really making this something special. All your comments,
all your fan art, all your tweets, all your theory, crafting
in the discord, everything that's it. I gotta stop now. Thank you.
I think I think I can speak on behalf of everyone on the trast
that if you were ever to reach out to any of us for whatever would
be, we would. We wouldn't even hesitate because because we know you would
give one hundred and back. So make sure everyone send a lot of a
lot of love Peebe's way. I've never met anyone who's cared so much about
the craft. That's the thing about a group like this. I think it's
very easy to to do a show, whether it's this or whatever and going
giving one hundred and ten percent. That's not mathematically possible, but you know
what I mean, and being around other people who don't give that amount that
slowly wears you down and makes you want to stop and being surrounded by people
who continue to give on the same level or greater than you do. It
just keeps that going, and especially something that runs this long, it's easy
for it to become like a hamster reel thing that this was magic every episode.
Man, Okay, we might be closing the door on this story,
but the world isn't gone, and I'm sure we may revisit it someday.
It probably won't be next just so you know, but maybe one day I'm
gonna take us out by playing our intro one last time. I think that's
fitting. And I would just like to say I think that I'd like to
I'd like us all to imagine Henry and Emma getting pancakes. I'd like us
to imagine THEO is finally happy with the decision that he's made. Brian fucking
saved the world and so many realities Brian's gave up, but this one didn't,
and it made the difference. And Brian and Adisa and her brother get
to build a relationship together, and the clock ticks over the February fourteenth,
Valentine's Day, and we're out give people can tap given g than Mada
