Oh, open a little wider please, Ah, there we go. Hey,
oh hey, since I have you here, let me tell you about
overworked and underplayed Actual Play D and D podcast section. Ah, thank you.
It's about some young professionals who find themselves in a strangely familiar place for
a fantasy and magic. Check your patient portal for episode descriptions and content boarding.
Excuse me, Oh yes, I am looking for someone or some ones?
Who are you looking for? Looking for a perhaps some young woman who
was wearing a bracelet that matches this thread? I believe that description. Could
you tell me about the people who were with her? She was with a
d who is not a worker, and they ordered a cost drink. What
drink did they order? I believe it was called an express though interesting?
Tell me more. Were there any others with her? Or was it just
the one? She was a human and they tried to go into the back
and feed the coffee cow coffee cow? Yes, it is interesting, interesting,
Okay? Was there anyone else in her accompaniment? I believe ann and
having go downstairs with them? What were they doing heading down stairs? Unclear?
Did anyone else go with them? They were escorted by a brother.
Did he have a name. I believe it was Thunder. Thank you very
much, sir much obliged to drink. No, You've given me everything I
need. Greeting's Adventurers and welcome to Overworked and Underplayed, a D and D
podcast for Young professionals, By young professionals. I am your DM or District
Manager Alex Capps and today's ice Breaker. What do your character's parents think of
what you do for a living? What up? It's your boy? Marcel
Hardy playing Richard Cox, the Human Consultants turned halfling Bard who holy believes it's
better to be lucky than good, but it's best to be both. And
Richard's parents are happy that he has a well paying job, but are more
concerned that he's single and hasn't given them a grandchild yet. M very relatable.
Hi, my name is Anelin Hardy and I play Taylor Jacobs, a
centaur bar bearing with articles. Taylor's parents are also incorporate, so they encouraged
her to pursue it. They work for Big Corn Flakes. I love that
her parents work in like the most bland industry, but the one that has
completely and utterly has a choke hold over young Americans. There you enjoy masturbation.
You guys don't know about the Kelloggs. The whole point, the whole
point of Kellogg's cereal was to like for it to be bland and not inspire
passion. Yeah, they probably did that. Hi everyone, I'm Katie and
I played Crystal the drought Druid with her very own MLM company, And well,
sometimes it's her, sometimes it's someone else's. And her parents are proud
of her. They think that she's achieved. They don't understand what she does,
but they also don't like they were already rich and they're from money,
so they don't understand how money is made in the first place, so they're
just supportive. Wait wait, so question. Prior to coming to Ossa,
when was the last time Crystal spoke to her parents. I feel like she's
pretty engaged with her parents, but only over text message. Hey, I'm
Margie. I play Amy and Amanda. Basically rough and tumble human fighter with
a freshly minted dentistry degree. So she is in the family business. She
really didn't have a choice. She didn't even think about like another career or
anything like that. She just assumed, like everyone else, that she would
do the same thing her, her mom does, her sisters do that sort
of thing, so they're they're proud of her, well almost all of them,
almost all. Hi. I'm Tyler. I play the IT paladin known
as Bentley, and Bindley's parents don't really know what he does. They just
say it works with computers. It seems to be. I also know that
they've got three other kids that already gave them grandkids. They don't bother him
too much. Solid Once again, I am Alex Capps, your DM or
District manager, And like most Fifth edition dms, my parents you know they're
happy that I followed in their footsteps of crushing players, hopes and dreams.

own up pod. All right, so, when we last left off,
you guys manage to make it to the web cafe. You got you a
browser, and you guys were getting on the Spider Safari and heading to the
City of net. Did we get on the spider? Yeah, you guys
are on the spider okay, and you're pulling out of port. Is it
fuzzy or smooth? Well? Off? Your seats are like kind of velvety,
is it? But so it's like I think you'd describe it last time.
It's like a carriage on the back of the spider. The spider is
very large. Yeah, okay, and you guys are basically it's like how
they have the thing that people would ride on the back of elephants. It's
a similar situation that. Can it look like a jumping spider because those things
are so cute. No, it looks like a Grandaddy long legs. I'll
take it too. Yeah, jumping spiders specifically, specifically, they're all over
taketok Like they are the most personality fields. It's amazing how people with completely
opposite feelings about certain things together say all spiders need to burn in a fire
and elaborate on that. Bentley, You guys see Bentley sitting in the carriage
and he's wrapped some fabric around his eyes. He's just sitting there chilling.
Are you okay, Bentley? Yeah, no, I'm good. Are you
sure? Yeah, I'm fine. Okay, Well, the light just hurts
my eyes. You can hold my hand if you want to know. I'm
good. Okay, all right, So you see as as Thunderweel turns around
and places goggles down over his eyes. All right, everyone hold on and
try not to focus too much on the lights, and you see as he
like whips some reins and the spider just accelerates faster than anything you've ever been
on before, like the five point racing harness. Like have you guys seen
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the scene where they're on the boat and
he's like all the crazy lights and stuff going on and he's just calm,
and yeah, that's basically what's going on right now. So I need everyone
who has a constitution score below fourteen. Richard does not me crystall Okay,
I need everyone with a constitution below fourteen to roll a constitution saving throw that
didn't even roll. It is smacked twelve. Okay, that's a past seventeen
that's a pass, so Crystal. As you're going, you kind of feel
your stomach begin to turn a little bit. And then you remember that you
have around your neck like a lavender vial, and you like kind of take
a whiff of that smell. Yeah, yeah, smelling soul. You're actually
relieved that one of your products actually works. That's true, Andy, And
it doesn't have any ulterior effects either. Oh thank god. Okay, I'll
remember that for later. So as you're going along, your body slowly acclimates
to the speed you realize you exit this small cave into like what appears to
be just a giant hollow underground. Richard from all your conspiracy theory videos,
you're like hollow earth, Like that's what you would think of. Hello.
Hello, And you see thousands of lights dancing in the darkness. As you
see as you get close to some of them, you see other strands with
spiders. Do you see these blurs moving up and down the strands of lights?
And Thunderweasel turns around. He goes everybody all right back there, we
still got everyone. Oh, wait, where's Jimmy off? Wait Jimmy.
Oh he said he was going to go to the bathroom. Hey, thunder
reasl Is there any way we could like go back? Not until we get
where we're going. This is kind of a one way trip. I wouldn't
want to suffer any packet loss, just the pure cringe. He says,
What did we lose someone? Um? I think we may have just left
him back at the start. Oh the little guy. Yeah, yeah,
the small one with the bear pants. Oh I liked him. It's a
snack on the butt. What's a snack? You know what a snack is.
Well, we'll be there in no time. Maybe he'll catch up.
I don't. I don't know. Well, i'll check. I'll check on
him after I drop you guys off. By the way. When we get
to net, he pulls out a piece of parchment and hands it. He
goes which one to use, the responsible one, I'll take it. Okay.
He hands you a piece of parchment and it has a number written on
it. He says, this will take you to tour. This is his
IP address. Okay. Um, So she gets a piece of paper and
it's like one nine two one six dot you know whatever. Richard's like.
I don't know a lot about how the internet works, but I know IP
stands for Internet and you guys don't have well, I guess no, this
is a web. Yeah, what is the IP and IP address? That's
your interweb positional address. Okay, what's this piece of paper for? Yeah,
this will help you find the guy the browser you need to go to
the dark to go to the dark web dark Web. I thought you were
coming with us. No, no, no, I'm I gotta stay away
from stuff like that. Uh you know, I'm I'm actually traced everywhere I
go. And you know, things that happen on the dark web aren't exactly
on the level. And UH don't want the government cracking down on me.
But you know I can get you to the guy who can get you there.
That's how this works. Okay, how much longer? Shouldn't be much
longer. So we got a pretty fast connection and our bandwidth looks good.
So so is there any way we can look outside and down from the from
where we're sitting, sure without any ill effects. I can't tell you if
there'll be any. Okay, I just want to very gently of game.
Okay, I need you to make me a dexterity saving threat. Oh god,
you're not. We're not shopped in are we No, we decided we
weren't because I would have liked to see belt. I'm just saying, don't
have an advantage for anything, have inspiration, you have an open dice.
Oh yeah, yeah, give me one a dam please give me one second.
Let me see that gets used using them. I quick rolling for them
because it was always just me using them and I would not succeed. So
I need to because you've got two bad omens and three good omens of those
too a bad omen For those that don't remember, this allows you to basically
reroll with the advantage die. This podcast would be very different if we remembered
that. Okay, that's much better. Seventeen. Okay, so you lean
over and as you look, you see these strands and lights go down into
the darkness and it seems like it's almost bottomless. Like you think, no
matter how much time you spent on the back of one of these spiders,
you'd never see everything. Okay, Wow, this is crazy, and you
start to get kind of mesmerized by it. And it's about that time Thunderweezel
turns around because he felt the cart kind of shift and he goes, oh,
I wouldn't advise doing that. Oh okay, Amy, I just like
he still he gets kind of quite goes. Sometimes you stare into the abyss
and it stares back. Hey, mister thunderweael, do you guys have any
snacks? Looks? And he's like, I got some pretzels? Yeah,
sure, I don't know why you would have those, but I was just
like, it's like I was really hoping for some cookies. But that's okay.
So while we're on this, while we're on this little while on this
little trip um, I'm imagine I'm still near Bentley ish, right, I
imagine we're all sitting near each other, right, Yeah, hey Bentley,
you do okay there, bud Yep, I'm fine, just gonna keep my
eyes covered and not seeing anything, Okay? Does it? Would it help
if I just talked to you about I could? So? I noticed the
other day you and you and Taylor had like a little thing. Is that?
Are you like no thing going on? And to her? I mean
she's really cute. Nope, sorry, Hr says I can't talk about anything,
so hr oh, like the guys we just talked about, those are
those are? Yeah? Who's sure I wouldn't listen to those guys, if
you want to, I can tell. I can talk to Tyler or Taylor,
and I don't know who Tyler is. Sounds like a really cool guy.
I could talk to Taylor and let her know if you're interested me to
be a matchmaker. I love kind of thing. We're not in high school.
I'm good. No, are you sure? Yep? No, I'm
good. I'm sure. I'm just gonna sit here. Is that they're like
your plugs or um? I mean there's some wax, like you have a
candle in your bag. I wouldn't want to do that. I don't have
anything. Bentley. If you ever change your mind, I want you.
I want you to let me know because I wanna, you know, I
wanna I could be your wing wing man, wing wing person, your wings,
your wings you want to wear. Sure, Yeah, okay, Billy,
he's gonna put the bracelet on just to get her shot. And it's
not like I don't like It's not like I don't like you kind of thing.
This is a very uncomfortable situation. And I'm talking to okay and as
you put it on, Abien, stop so stop talking and can you hear
me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me, but oh you
you're not gonna wear my thing your friends. You're not going to wear my
bracelet. You know what's fine, I'll keep it on just for you a
little okay, Okay. What I need now is for Taylor to make a
wisdom saving joke, because you just heard that Bentley and amy An just became
friends. I haven't tried for years. That is a fifteen. You feel
a little sad, but you're keeping it to yourself, and I'm like happy
too. Yeah, I like what my friends are friends. People can be
multiple the motion. She can't read faults, right, I have to actively
project. I don't think she can read your thoughts. I think it's just
that y'all can telepathically. Sure, all right, everybody, all right back
there, we're about to get to net. I would grab a hold of
something. I'll put my hand out to hold on. Guys, whoever wants
to take my hand. There's no issues. It's like a mom when she
comes to a hard stop. Yeah. But as you guys, as you
guys pull up, you see in front of you one of the most specta
hecular sites you've seen the entire time you've been in Trevaria. And you see
it almost looks like the Vegas Strip. There's just lights everywhere, people all
over the place. You see these impossibly tall structures and you're like, how
did they built that? And as you look closer, you see tiny little
strands coming off of them, securing them to like the cavern walls. He
says, well, this is where I uh, this is where I leave
you. Welcome to a net watch out for scams. Good luck. So
wait, just real quick, is this city floating in the cavern? Yeah?
Okay? Does it have like a bunch of webs? So you look
and in all directions there's these strands of techno spider silk running in all like
every direction you can think of. I just don't think it's like a big
rocks basically. Okay, okay, so it's basically a floating city. Yeah,
you can make a lot of shirt side of this. It's pretty incredible.
You know, I wonder if you could find a shirt made of spider
silic. It'd be stronger than your normal clothes. And basically as soon as
you guys walk out, you see these people begin approaching you and one of
them is holding up a sign and he's like, did you know that you
could save so much on you would you like to know more crystals? Like
no, I would not like to know more about that product, but would
you like to know? So? So you see one of the pop ups
is actually advertising crystal Clarity merchandise. I punch him in the face. O
God, yes, really not hard? Okay, well we'll see how hard
making a tack roll? Yeah, let's see that is going to be a
I can't add twelve. So swinging a miss is he like ducks it and
he's like, hey, hey, I'm just trying to make a living him
off the backs of my hard work. I lost my vocal friend. He
just turns and says, welcome to capitalism, baby, don't call me baby.
Oh that is a slippery slope. Try and channel my inner tailor.
Yeah, so what's your guy's plan? Is there some kind of directory?
So you guys see like numbers on the buildings, and you would pretty easily
deduce like where to go. You see a gnome just kind of walk up
and he goes, hey, you guys look new in town. Uh,
you look a little lost. You're trying to find somewhere. Who are you?
My name's Garmy you're trying to find something. Hey, look, you
know, look like somebody that we accidentally left behind. Do you wanna do
you do you think she's ready to ruin this guy's day? Crystals racist,
So that's a great idea, I mean yeah, I mean it would be
nice to have another gnome around, if you know, Jimmy's we need someone
small in the group, and he seems like a pretty good rep. I'm
right here, Hey, do you want to join our crew for the day?
Bitley looks at him and like eyes like run he runs away. Damn
it, that was you know what I don't know understand. I was He's
just trying to provide a service. She's over here talking about servitude. He's
like, I don't know about this servitude. He's joining us for a day.
Well, you gotta remember how so and people might react to drought saying
certain things versus like what would the makeup of the people we see be like
majority drought? Like you see a lot of drought, right, Probably the
majority is drought, and then gnomes and tie flings and dwarves are going to
be like the next twenty five thirty percent, and then that last twenty percent
is a pretty good mixture of everyone. You actually see very few humans here
compared to top side. So are there any signs anywhere? Yea, yeah,
there's signs all over the place, like showing addresses in which road?
Yeah, literally said, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, well that
way. Yeah, I want to find the pet stores. Okay, yeah,
you definitely find a pet store. I want a tiny spider that is
like cat sized baby okay, no, no, no, I want it
to be like potentially full will be full ground. I wanted to be big
enough to comfortably sit. So you are you find a pet store? Okay?
And you walk in and the person behind the counter is welcome to pets.
Plus, do you accept cookies? And holds up a tray of cookies?
I don't know how money works in this city. Anybody says this is
just how commerce works here. You have to accept cookies to be able to
shop on like the oh yeah yeah yeah, I have those on my website
too. And she just takes a cookie Okay, she does not eat it,
though. Can I can I help you find anything? Yes? So
I am looking for pet You just so happen to wander into the right place,
seeing as how this is pets plus. What kind of pet are you
looking for? Well, okay, so I want a spider. So it's
not pets dot net. No pets plus dot net. It's just like marketing
Lucian's plus. Everything has a plus in this universe. Um uh, you
know those get really big. I don't want a big one. I want
one like. Are there any like breeds that are like good nature? Yeah,
like a mini, like a mini or like a teacup spider. Yeah,
he says, I'll tell you what. And you see he pulls like
like it looks like the thing you get a hermit crab at the beach and
there's like a little spider in there. Yeah, and he's like, I
got this little guy here, and uh, we can do two hundred and
fifty gold. Why are they so expensive? They're very desirable. Do you
have a cheaper spider? Yeah, maybe with only six legs or something,
which is like, we should go to the adoption place. Adopt, don't
shall that's good? Yeah, Crystal, now that she thinks about it,
do you say that out loud? Not so loud, but so the group
can hear. He says, Oh, okay, if you want to do
that, then you need to go to the city of Gove. That makes
sense, That does make sense. That tracks okay, um, things for
the help, But I I think ethically we're gonna have to to say no
because no, okay now, and now I'm required by by corporate policy to
ask you to sit through this short break. So you guys leave the pets
plus and you're wondering down Red Road. Anything else you guys are looking for
while is there a way for us to get email? So you do see
like a bluegle terminal while you're down there? That makes sense? Yeah,
not interested in that. Do they seem to be more or less than top
side? It's about the same. You see several like ads for prescription medications
and various odds and ends, and you see people demonstrating different devices. And
as you're approaching where you would find it, you you hear a guy,
come one, come all, I present to you the mechanical spider. And
you see you see as he as he has this table full of little little
like they look like small clockwork spiders, and he's like, it's the perfect
pet for anyone. He's like, come up, come one, come all
to Albatross B Lincoln's pet Spider emporium. You there, young lady, Yeah,
you like me. You look like you look like you could use a
spider. Do you have a spider? I do not. I've been looking
for one all day, but the last place I went to wanted to charge
me a crazy amount of money. What do you consider to be a crazy
amount of money? Crystal? Careful? This might be a scam. It
feels kind of like because it's too good to be true. Say say one
gold? How much is a spider spider today? Special? Fifteen goals?
It's still quite expensive? And you see as he as he snaps his fingers
over the spiders and they begin all dancing in unison. Oh okay, yes,
I want one of those. How many spiders are there? There's like
ten of them here? Richard wants a spider? I want one? I
do? I do? But can There's three spiders here? So I still
think fifteen golds too expensive? So I'm gonna say that sounds like an amazing
deal. But how about I offer you five gold instead? How about I
say no and offer I will make this offer for you and you alone today
of thirteen gold, ten two for twenty chimes in two for twenty five two
for twenty two, for twenty two, for twenty two, two for twenty
two for twenty two fine, Lafer, Oh, I guess we're not getting
spiders today. I guess you're not. Man. I really wanted that spiders.
It would have had a really amazing home. It's amazing. You must
not have wanted it that bad because you were willing to turn it down for
two gold. Yeah, we did that two gold to I assume this pet.
It's a pet, right, so I eat something that No, it's
the greatest thing about these They don't eat anything. Persuasion he can try.
He is our Bard, after all, I would also like to roll persuasion
or I don't know, twenty two on two for twenty spicy. He says,
you drive a hard bargain good sir. Twenty one. Richard really wants
the spiders, all right, twenty one excellent nail it really wants to not
get better. So he's like, I'll give you fifty to not sell them.
You have a deal, you said. Tailor's gonna be like from no,
I'm not doing this. You really shouldn't feel like fifteen golds that much.
We like, the three of us have a lot of my name.
I was like two fifty gold. Yeah, I got that. No,
I don't actually say that. I was just outside. I was really hoping
it's a mechanical spider. Those are old been really funny. It would have
been funny, but I'm not so it is gonna be like it's gonna it's
treat it with the same stats as like the cr zero spider. We'll go
a squirrel size. That'll be you can ride on your shoulders. I needed.
Yeah. He goes, what color light would you like it to have?
He sees he adjusts the dial on the back and then locks it with
a key. He goes, one purple spider for the lovely lady. What
about you? Good, Sir Richard would like his spider to be orange or
the orange light. He adjusts it and you see him like struggle to get
exactly orange, and he's like a close enough and locks it and he says,
one kind of orange spider? Is it like more yellow or more red?
It's more red. Okay, that's probably pretty. I can't wait until
Jimmy's here. He would love to look at these things. He's not touching.
Jimmy's definitely getting that orange color. Just okay, yeah. Yeah,
Jeller feels very guilty. Are we pretty close to ip address? Yeah?
Yeah, you guys would find it's almost like an apartment complex called the Hub.
Oh that sounds like an apartment complex name. It does sound like when
it also sounds it has the bottom floor is a bar and has like a
there's like a yoga studio off to the side, and there's like a food
truck that parks out front. All right, is it like can we just
walk in? Yeah? Okay, So you walk in, you ask around
and they tell you, yeah, tour is usually sitting down by the bar.
You go down there and you find an older, more ragged looking,
drowl guy with like a leather jacket with holes in it. Yeah, scraggly
beard. Yeah, definitely has like the long hair pulled back in the ponytails.
Does he have like a trench coat and when he opens it up,
it's got he's got like stuff for sale, but it's like completely you probably
have to ask him, but he is wearing a trench It's it's like a
leather trench coat. I knew it would we know that that's who we're looking
for. I'm pretty sure. The second Bentley turns the corner and season,
Hi, yeah, go ahead. Oh now, I wonder if it's short
for Victor or something. No, probably just name. That just seems mean.
So Taylor's gonna clump over to him. Hi, I'm Taylor Jacobs.
He turns, tips his for door and says milady. No, Bentley takes
two points aside. He just like falls to the ground. I'm fine.
Bentley clenches his chest. He's like, oh no, oh my god.
So are we Can we talk to you about a potential project? Is this
a good place for that? Does this look like a good place for that?
Why do you have to make him talk like that? I don't know
the answer. I look around, opinion. We need to find somewhere more
private to discuss such matters if they're involving me. Does he reach his hand,
Taylor, yes, does in your face, it's like more like he's
just holding it up and like he's like hold on, and he says,
bar keep, I would like to tab out please, And you see as
he like puts the money down and he goes keep the change, and the
bar keep looks and it's just like this is exact change. It is like
five silver, two copper I'm gonna look in my pocket and see and just
put a couple of copper Are you Are you going to do that? Try
to do that sneakily, you know, so he doesn't. Oh, so
you do it like right in front of him. Roll intimidation. I mean,
she's a woman. He should be intimidating. He's gonna have disadvantage.
Okay, okay, okay, okay. Intimidation is seventeen. He looks and
he goes, Oh, I like a woman of means who can take care
of herself. We're gonna get at this guy's house and he's gonna have a
body pillow. So he says, follow me, and I need everyone to
make a perception. Check the floor. I have no idea what that.
I did the same thing. Uh fifteen for Amy Okay, Taylor got an
eight. Okay, Richard got a five. Okay. I heard Bentley definitely
sees what happens next, which is perfect. Okay. So so the three
of you, uh, Crystal, Amien and Bentley see as he turns to
like head down this hallway, you see him rest his palm on something under
his trench coat, and you see he's definitely got a katana on his belt.
So Richard is talking to Taylor to explain why we did not see this,
and Richard him like, hey, Taylor, I thought about what you'd
asked me the other day, and I was going through my phone while we're
in the cafe. I have this app. It's called a Sana, and
we can track our progress that way, and then that way we can be
on top of things. Okay, love that, Thank you for taking initiative.
You guys follow him around the corner and as he gets around the corner,
goes, okay, now what is this grave matter we need to discuss.
So we are looking for a web developer, and we believe that the
kind of skills we need are on the dark web. He sees. He
leans in, he flips up the collar of his trench coat and he says
the dark web. You say dark dark? So this is why you have
sought out my services, milady. Is you need someone such as I to
take you to the dark web? Yeah? Absolutely, So we work for
Bluegule. So I imagine if you have a fee that that's where you would
buill it. And yeah, so that's what what's what we're trying to do
here? We shall leave it once or something. He's not one of those
nerves. He's just ton of carrying Fedora wearing cat shirt. Excuse me,
mister, where are we leaving towards? He says, we must go to
the tor Cave. No, is that in the city. We have a
friend who's supposed to catch up with us, and we don't want to go
too far. Said no, no, no, we must depart it once
we go. The basement is where we keep our spiders. I just call
my parking spot the tor cave because it's cool as fuck's gonna be Like,
that is pretty good. Oh hey, that's a good point you bring up,
Richard. Maybe we should leave like one of the spiders behind with a
note on it so Jimmy can find where we are going. Oh yeah,
we saw a Bluegules terminal. Oh that's a great idea, Taylor. Okay,
so before we leave, leave, we're going to run out and do
that real quick and come back. Okay, So you leave the bluegal terminal
message. So he says, come at once, we will board a Zoomi.
Why is it named a Zoomi because it's a Zoomi spider? Okay?
Is it friendly? Again? Like we we just got off of we just
met a spider and it was so friendly and cute, and then we got
pet spiders. I don't know, Cristal's being dumb, sees he like kind
of bows. He goes, I would never put you in unnecessary risk.
Thinks this guy's really nice. So Crystal sees him and she knows exactly his
type because she definitely tired his type before. And she's just like definitely.
She's like, are you sure you're not the web developer? Oh my god?
She's like, yeah, Dan. So he takes you down to the
basement. Is there anywhere else we need to do? Anything else you need
to do before we depart? I don't think so, Bentley puts his blindfold
back. Is there anything you would recommend that we have? Well? Is
there? What specifically are you looking for? In the he sees, He
leans in, looks both ways. Hees qu dark ques why are we saying
it? I don't know, because you don't want to alert the authorities to
what we're doing because some people go to the dark web the berries. I
can't hear you. What are you saying, sir? I said, So
we're looking for someone that can work on the cloud. Oh, that's what
you're here for. Yes, I know just the place and takes this bar
called Vice, really cool place. It's got flashing lights in everything. I
can take you there and we're gonna get there everything. They he know like
he has a bunch of these guys that have that skill set. Not just
anybody can work on a cloud environment. It's pretty cutting edge stuff. Thank
you. Yes, is there anything that you would recommend that we bring with
us or talk about with a web developer? Sweet? Do you have a
Do you have a contract? We do have a contract. It should be
all you need. Those guys they like money. They're not like me.
They're not honorable like me, Like they don't have a strict code of honor
like I do. To was really impressed this like this unrelated. I wish
that we could get into a fight that way. This dude could do the
whole since safe forgive me. It turns out he is a paladin and he
does have the power of God. He uh, he says, Okay,
now you must keep your wits about you. Ladies. You can stay behind
me. I will protect you while we're there. Gentlemen, I must do
your due, but thank you, I can give myself a headache eyes like
I can imagine amyen you. This guys is fairly puny. Okay, right,
yeah, so like you're you're listening to him, like you're like,
I could cross you like twigs to let him die first. Yeah, I've
had simps before, exactly. All right, now we shall all aboard a
zoom me at once, okay, and they all hop on. Yeah,
all right, everybody hops on and he cracks. The thing goes tore away
to you, guys, make it down another strand of web, and this
one like before, there's not nearly as many strands going in this direction.
And you notice as you go deeper and deeper and deeper, it gets darker
and darker, darker, until in the distance you see where Nett looked kind
of like Vegas. This is like the wanna be Vegas. You can tell
a legal activity happens here, like there's broken windows before where you saw people
walking around who kind of looked official. Everyone here looks shady a yeah,
and they're all wearing trench coats. Yeah, everyone down here wears trench coats.
Either more drought now and less Oh, it's almost completely all drought.
Half works goblins and gnomes question, is it like actually cold her down here?
And that's one of the trench coats? Sure, So I just want
to say, how long was that trip? Would you say? It was
probably about ten minutes? The entire time Amian is telling um with her little
yeah thing, she's Bentley okay, And the best book I read last it
had to be a Millionaire next Door. It was really great. K and
say, and I really think, you know, if you implement some of
those strategies, Bentley, I think you could probably try to retire in a
few years. They're talking about bitcoin. I'm just imagining like at some point
Bentley undid the bracelet, like but it was like just nodding along still because
he knew she was still talking no, no. Bentley's kind of realizing this
is one of those situations where he can just say yeah, yeah, every
like a minute and a half, and she was just like so, as
far as everyone else can see, Amy and is just staring deep eyes,
and he's staring off just not so Tour sees this, and he pulls out
a flute and just starts playing romantic sounding music. Crystal Lane's over to Taylor
and she's like, do you think look at amy She is like staring at
Bedley. Do you think I mean I can see it? Yeah? I
bet they could arm rustle a bunch. I bet you they could too.
That'd be like a pretty fun dat. I really so. Richard's gonna chime.
Are you guys talking about Amyen and Tayler? I ship them, righted.
I kind of love this for them me too. I feel like that'd
be so cute. Did I see her like give him that friendship person literarier?
Yeah, that's what it is, can is there's something I can roll
to determine if everyone's looking at us funny looking and not not right now because
you literally said you're like okay, yeah yeah, and then all right,
and then the next best movie I saw last year and I just continue on.
All right, So tour stops playing, goes, all right, guys,
we're here awesome. You see, as he gets everyone off the spider,
he turns around, pets it, and he says, okay a ZOOMI
stand guard. We will be back shortly. Crystal wants to pet the spider.
You pet the spider it's was it a different type of spider? No,
it is the same type. That's boring. So he bring the conversation
Bentley, thanks for keeping me company on that ride, you're saying out loud.
So he takes you to the like sketchiest looking ni club most of you
have been too. I'm going to exclude Crystal from that because she's probably been
to some pretty sketchy nightclubs, probably like what do you mean, like probably
some place in Abiza that she partied. It used to be a warehouse and
then it definitely used to be a warehouse and cool again, like if it's
come back. Yeah, for sure. They're like flashing lights everywhere. Oh
yeah, And as you get closer you realize they're just fairies and tubes again.
And they're dancing in the tube and the music is just like it is
bumping. It's like it sounds like dum. But when you get inside you
realize there's this like giant monster looking thing on the stage with these big almost
like reverse horns, like it looks like from a record player. Oh my
god, it's just blasting beats out of it's out of what it's some kind
of auditory system it has. I want Crystal to be shocked at this like
monster that's playing music, But I feel like we've all experienced so much shock
fatigue that we're like to the point now where we're like, and so that's
the that's the beat. And the drums. You're like, wow, this
sound like electronic drums and you're looking at it's just a bunch of quick things
on a drum set. Oh cool, jumping around. Yeah, they're they're
actually playing it, but they're so fast that it sounds like like an eight
to eight drum. Like it's great. And he says, Okay, my
contact here, his name is Demitri. Let me do the talking. I'll
be right back. Okay. Bentley wanders off. We'll get to that,
and you see as he approaches this, uh, I will say, just
an orc for simplicity's sake, and he's like, my friend, Demitri,
I beckoned the for access to some of your assets. Does he talk that
loudly? Yes, well, because the music slept. Demitri looks at him
and he says, what does this? What this is? Uh? My
friend come to office? This is uh who ardies with you? Nieces?
These are my clients. Hi, I'm Taylor Jacobs, Crystal. I don't
introduce myself a chin like Dmitri nods strength record night Strength and who is who?
Who are you? Hello? I'm Shelley Duval. It is nice to
meet you, Shelly. Nice to meet you too. Dmitri come, we
talk business and he takes you back to his office where you can tell it's
been like sound dead and and he goes, Okay, now let's talk business.
