Hello, everyone, Welcome back to episode twenty eight of Isakai Dungeons and Dragons.
We're back. I am joined with the lovely Norman Briggs. All day
outime, Yo, all the anime. I love anime. Let's go all
day anime. That was the first iteration of Briggs. Yeah, I'm here
with Daniel. Um he'd be green other one. I was known as the
Shark. Check out his kickstart a ghost tidy yurol tiny euro tiny ul dot
com slash ghost. He's got a kick start for his new book. He
writes good books. Surprising thing. This is a very special street I'm going
on. I'm going on new medication. I can't drink with This is the
last beer. I'm gonna be all every years somatic final beer. I also
think it's a special wait wait, bricks, do you drink when we do
D and D? I more often than not, it was about it because
I was about to make the bold claim that he's the first person to drink
on episode one. It's episode one of one Piece D and D. I
was holding a beer when I introduced, like yeah, yeah, yeah,
I remember that. Fuck. Um, I'm drinking a Salvox cappuccino. And
a big bottle of water. Oh yeah, I had an orange cream bubbly.
Oh nice. Um. I'm also here with Cody Schwabadi says some guys.
Um, and I'm finally here with Teching Anthony Teching Anthony, finally,
finally, finally see is that a weirdly fun you're on your shirt? Teching?
Now it's a pineapple. Yeah, let's go. Why does the say
come on? Smonth? I literally never seen the show Psych. If you
don't get that, I don't get it to be so watch Psych. It's
a really good show. I'll go watch Styke. Yeah. To me,
it's just a pineapple that says come on, so people. The shack gets
it, That shack gets it. Yeah. I feel like it's just really
funny to me to have a pineapple, so like a supportive father Pineapple.
Anyway. The stream is also sponsored by Pineapple Juice. I had a terrible
realization the other day because I advocate for Pineapple Juice and all my d and
d's and content, but I when I went to America and had Pineapple juice
in America, it's it's not good. It's not as good. It's really
keep on strolling as long as I got that pineapple juice that longly in the
UK, like the yeah, it does not compare to that Sainsbury's Sainsbury Supermarket
supermar pecific Sainsbreason not from concentrate pineapple juice is the best trick in the world.
I go to America that pineapple juice and seekingly lee sweet to the point
where I'm like, this is gonna you also, yeah, but you also
hated peanut butter and rees cups and it's just like you know what rustage listen,
Okay, I'm sorry guys America moment so I feel bad that I'm propagating
pineapple juice propaganda. And then people in America are going like, I'm gonna
get pineapple juice because I'm a big fan of Rostage and all the pineapple juice.
They go to the store, they pick up the pineapple juice and it's
not as good, and I feel like they're like, oh, this wasn't
as good as I expected it still drinking the wrong juice. More specific,
I do want to say, if I'm sipping on my Sainsbury is not from
comes from pineapple juice, there I go, I'm gonna get defend Rustics a
little bit. Recas like the brand RECs are not the best chocolate peanut butter
cups. Trader Jos ninety nine cents dark chocolate peanut butter cups are fucking fire.
But I calculated for this, so I let him try a rec cup
and he didn't like it. I'm like, all right, maybe, And
I hadn't just like regular peanut butter after that, and he didn't like that
either, So it's like, yeah, I'm sorry, I'm gonna I'm gonna
take that advice Daniel B. Green when I'm next in America, because I
do like peanut butter cups. Yeah, the dark chocolate ones are amazing,
Yes, that is true. Traders ones are better. Well, I can
eat a rec cup. Man, this dream is sponsored by Why are we?
Let's not even play Dard, Let's just talk, let's just hang out.
Yeah, sure, okay, I just want to Hey, I'll get
my popcorn. How's everyone doing? You know? Good song? What's the
song you're working on? Rustedge? I'm the current project I'm working. I
just finished recording on my verses for the spot from Spider Verse Truck, which
I'm very excited about. It's gonna come out next week. It's got Wait
a minute, I don't care about rustage. Yeah, all right, you
can. I am so I have your music. Sorry, let's be so
for a second. You guys just defeated the Leonardo da Vinci for Truvian Man
mech and Sigmund Freud. Um and okay, um, that's what happened last
time. The Meclais decimated on the ground. Um, you guys, well
done. How many people did it kill? Well, a lot of people?
Who right, yeah, yeah, people were running away. Yeah,
we were efficient with that. Yeah yeah, yeah. We also just I
think god it took us this long because it just managed to recover my password
lock. Now you're good. Impartedly, we also rescued baby Shark. Yeah,
baby shark otherwise known it's Finn, and I'm sound like a year old
who has now capable of like yeah, yeah, he apparently can yeah stab
people today. He walks up, He's like, hello, I am Finn.
I'm an adult. Now. Yeah, it's been in the time frame.
It's like pot time dilation. He's got to be at least like thirty
by now. Though to be fit, time has quite a decent amount of
time has passed because even though it doesn't seem like it, it takes you,
guys weeks to walk across the country. So you guys, has at
least been like half a year of just walking. I mean we had straight
up like several months of Brewery. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we've
been over five years now. I want to know if I want to know
if one of like the super fans who tallies of everything, like the amount
of damage that each player and stuff has done, is able to figure out
exactly how much time has passed that Brewery episode. I think we blitz through
six months in that one episode alone, so it's got to be over a
year. He's like a toddler, right, He's not like he's like,
you know, like the when the sims age from baby to toddler. I've
never played all right, you know, like in real life with the age
from baby to toddler. I've never been a baby. I fully believe that
taking him into the world is a fully grown adult. I fully believe that
he came in looking like that. It is never changed for the last Yeah.
When he just if you look at my picture from like middle school,
I look exactly the same. He's it's it's eerie. I got recommended an
old teching one on one video the other day and you were a baby.
Yeah, yeah, no, I was a teenager, that's the weird thing.
I was like sixteen probably in that one. It looked like I was
like six all right, So the mech lays decimated on the ground. You
were there in the city now that has no form of government. Um,
And it's genuinely like, immediately after, what do you guys want to do?
You have the baby sort in your hands, Okay, immediately you did.
You did make the agreement that just as a reminder because you might have
forgotten because you took out Leonardo da Vinci. You did make that agreement with
Wellington that he would tell you where the rest of the holy sites were if
you did that. So you do have that, But you also have an
entire country that doesn't have a leadership right now. Yeah, well we luckily
we do have Alida, yes, um, who is ready and willing to
take over me. Well well, I mean, I mean George Washington is
like, this is democracy. That means I'll win by tea food. Why
I thought I thought Jesus would have been the best option too. Jesus is
my vice president. Remember this works for me. I'm okay with that.
By the way, Shark, what are you doing with that? Toddler does
aunt that he even know Finn's existence? Yeah? Actually, I guess he
wouldn't known. You just picked up a random kid. I'm like, uh,
yeah, I think he. I vote Finn for president? Uh,
just kidding up. I've touched more grass in the last two years on this,
on this, I'm just happy to be here. Yeah. Um,
well, I guess I'll approach George Washington and be like, hey, I
guess that means there's no need to vote anymore. Hey, that means I
become president of the entire country. I is this? Is this a country?
Like? Yeah, it's just like the Kingdom Astoria. Yeah, I
Thoa was a city. But okay, yeah, sure, next up the
whole world? Am I Right now? You're not going to name a continent
America and a country America and a city America. That would just be silly.
Uh yeah, bear in mind that. Like you also learned that Finn
is the the only surviving heir of of the Storian royal family, so it's
really up whether that's why I made that joke. I don't think. I
don't think we're in any rush to put Finn on the throne obviously. Um.
In fact, I feel like the best thing for him would just be
to not be royal anymore. That's fair. Yeah, I mean at this
point, Little Feather also flies up as she goes. I was here the
whole time, I promise I didn't. I was not forgotten about the last
episode. Always been here, Little Feather. How was the fight? I
was evacuating people. That was my job because I can fly. I was
like saving people from being crushed by rubble. It was like epic there was.
It was all love screen. But it was amazing. Oh yeah,
yeah we remember, yeah, yeah yeah I remember. Um and they leveled
up from it too. Oh good, yeah, thank you, that's perfect.
We leveled up. No, not you guys, fuck just me.
There was a really dramatic scene where like a mother and her child are getting
crushed by rubble and she swoops it at the last blocks the feather. I
know that, you know that gift of like mercy from over watched like helping
this child. That is just Little Feather, but like over and over and
over again times all right, So I guess George Washington will become president.
Um. Yeah, so all right, well it looks like I'm president now
and things are gonna change around here. Uh. What is the first thing
you're gonna change when you become president, mister president. Yeah, President,
let's get a comprehensive list of what you're gonna do around these parts. Um.
Oh, the shark has a has a suggestion, what are your teeth
made of? That's a question historical, that's a historical Is it all right?
Danny's rule in history? George? Um, George Washington goes there,
My friends were given to me consentually. Wow. I don't think this is
the George Washington. Remember, I think this might be like a parallel to
mention George Washington. You know, yeah, I mean there's always that that
is true. Never watched those Spider Man movies, or there's a million,
probably a million George Washington. Yeah, multiverse going off the assumption that all
of these are from Earth. Yeah, but some of these historical figures could
be from all the Earth. There's a show I watched growing up a lot
called Mick and Morty, and uh, it talked about multiverse travel and everything
like that. It might be something like that. You mean you mean Rick
and Morty or did it get a did it get a spin off? No?
Are you from a different universe than me? Oh shit? Oh,
I mean we're living in a world. We're gonna eat the kai to a
fasy world as possible. I guess it's not only just timelines, it's also
dimensions. Huh. You know it's funny, guys. I feel like I
promise if town a lot of things, if we if George Washington became president,
but fitically I forgot everything is all right the moment he became president.
We forgot all our promises. Let's go, I've got I've got it all
sorted here. George Washington says, I'm going to set up a Senate.
I'm gonna have Jesus is my vice president. I'll get sorted on the repairs
and leave it to me. Guys, that seems all very efficient. I
think you could do it. If you can trust George Washington to do anything.
It's run a country. Who and he walks dramatically into the sunset,
with the American flag flowing behind him. Um neon got so wish to sin?
And now my first order of business is I'm giving everyone a free copy
of Neil Ghosts by EAD and d Universe Daniel Green. Okay, what do
you guys want to do now now that you've installed George Washington onto the historian
throne? All right, Um, I'm relatively new to this, So you
guys, yeah, very good for the economy and make alcohol illegal and then
let a thriving criminal industry arise around distributing it. Trust me, or you
guys are like the leading suppliers of alcohol. It just I don't do that
completely business. Don't have any shares anymore, do that right? Yeah?
Okay, oh god, I feel like we should get back to Wellington.
Is there a way for us actually to send him a letter and say come
here, come to the Capitol. Yeah, because you'll get you somewhere to
live. Yeah, your places that there isn't a fucking volcano. I kept
telling him the volcano. Man. I just don't know why he was dead
set on the volcano. He really wanted to live in that volcano. I
mean, yeah, I guess. I mean it's a badass I'll give it
to you. It's a badass fortress, but like, come on, it's
a fucking volcano. True, I mean, I guess you can send a
letter. I mean, Ripper could send a letter that we're gonna send the
letter the Ripper, make him send them. No, no, no,
no, you've got to he's your guy, you know, he's your middle
man. Yeah, let's just find a courier's Yeah, let's just find a
curier. How are they going to get to the volcano? Uh, that's
the that's their problem. You still have the mosques and the suits and stuff.
Yeah, so you could just like offload it, all right. I
want to let Ripper figure it out. We call him enough. Okay,
you look for a post office if there's anything like we shipped to volcanoes.
It's like, oh great, there there is a post office. You want
to go to the post office? Sure, ye, all right. Do
you walk into the post office and there's a boy with a post cap.
He's got ginger hair, he's got freckles, um, and he's got he's
like, um, hey, hi there. We demanded to speak to the
Postmaster general immediately the postmaster Sorry sorry, said the postmaster General's out right now,
um go get him. Okay, I don't think we need the postmaster
Yeah, I don't think we just need. We need to send a letter.
We're very important. You are very important people to be further all right.
He he goes into the back and then a door opens up, and
this big man comes in, huge mustache, tall top hat. He's got
like letters. He's got like a uniform made out of letters, like like
like post letters, like unsend letters. Okay, I thought you were going
to say he has like a military jacket, like he's an actual general.
This is one way funny. His military jacket is made out of letters with
like the epilets, except they're like I don't know aster whatever, I don't
know. Okay. And he he comes out and he says, I am
the post boss to general, and you do if it rains, we towed
open all right. We were going to ask you to send a letter to
a volcano. But you look very flammable. I don't know if that he
just dies on the route. Like I said, guys, okay, let's
we should this. Let's just send a letter. All we have to write
is rip up, tell mister Skellington, yeah, form him to come to
the capitol, and that we succeeded in our mission in step one. And
if this letter is not to live with. Your entire kingdom might fall,
So please Postmaster General handle it personally, Rippa, figure it out. You
want to send it's a rippo, you want to send it. You're sending
it to go to the volcano and handler ship. Yeah, let's send it
straight to the mot kiddo. Please, No, but I don't trust these
normal mailmen die on the way. I mean listen, in my time,
there were no post offices. Those all got shut down when I was like
five. So like, yeah, you email, Yeah, we we just
send emails to our heads in the future. Yeah, I'm sad. I
like writing letters to people. Yeah, yeah, we don't really do that
in the future. Okay, right right, the Postmaster General Rippa invent emails.
Where do you want me? Just you want we just send this.
You've already written the letter. Issue you want me to write the letter as
well? Okay? Okay, you want me to go to say you can
all write and read? Right, sure? Yeah? You want me to
send the letter to where? Okay, Anthony would actually know the address whatever
the equivalent would be. Let's vote. Let's vote democracy, I vote.
It's what the is that thing that you do not have for our blind Daniel
be Green has just pulled out an entire fucking type that Daniel, You're amazing
at everything you do. Okay, okay, where do you want me to
deliver this letter? I'll get a boy on it. Or do you want
me to do it personally Postmaster general style? Yeah, it's that it's at
Oneton Lane where Okay, we have to we have too. Are we sending
this to Ripper or are we sending it straight to Wellington? I don't know.
I don't know his address though, you do, I don't you guys?
We do we okay, okay, okay, Anthony knows Wellington's address though,
all right? Yeah, all those in favor of sending it to Ripper.
I I mean I I've never heard of him, but I trust this
everything. Yeah, all right, I guess we'll let's send it to RiPP
send it to this Ripper fella. Okay, all right, cool? So
we know the address, will well, we'll give him the address of the
brewery. Yeah, Ripper? Yeah, I mean Snow and Ripper sent let
us back and forth all the time, so we'm I'm no. Is that
how a person like in the city? Yeah? She she runs the capital
division of the other one brewery Norman did, no one else did. Yeah,
yeah, she's hot. Okay confirmed. Now this RiPP a guy can
he withstand temperatures upwards of like two degrees fahrenheit. He can figure it out.
Okay, Hipper, Ripper got us some of the equipment um for us
to go into the volcano. Okay, you got it. Who has the
fire truck at the background? Okay, that's Postmaster General has already got off.
He has the alarm. He has a horse with an alarm attached to
it. Yeah, all right, postmar man. Okay, Postmaster General is
just going to give the letter to the to the boy um and and the
bois gonna be like I off, I go um and this will take like
a week. So yeah, you know, do you guys want to do
anything in the capitol whilst you wait for Wellington to get your letter and visit
the capitol? It will be like going to help. I'm probably just gonna
help repair everything, you know, help people that need injury. I'm a
MS guy, you know what i mean, just you know, medical stuff.
Yeah, all right, yeah, I think I'll put some that's into
undoing the damage that we did when we fought. Actually, you know,
it. Yeah, I'm going to spend the next week or two weeks working
in the hospital to modernize it and bring it up to standard codes. And
I was like, all right, no, you're using leeches. No,
okay, that's not how this works. Where's you're doing that? M George
Washington comes into the hospital, Anthony and and looks around and says, it
looks like you're doing good work. I'm trying to He turns around to you
and he says, I want to make you. Um, I need to
the head of the Department of Health. What are the okay, you're safe.
Department names? Now we have that Rightment of Health. There is Department
of Health, Secretary of Yeah, we got secretary of Health. Right,
yeah, I want to make you Secretary of Health. Okay, And he
puts a hand on your shoulder. Do you agree. I mean, I'm
not going to be staying here forever, but as long as I'm here,
sure, I'll take the position, mister President. Sure, great, all
right, And then he just leaves. Wow, all right, there you
go. You gotta promotion. You're you're the Secretary of Health, Secretary of
Health, yes, um, all right? What else are people doing?
I'm like clearing rubble and doing like stuff you know in the streets on the
ground, strong man stuff. How some people rebuild their homes that were crushed
by a giant mac. Okay, great, um, Norman the shock.
Are you doing anything particularly for the next two weeks. Is there any street
drugs that are currently a problem in the city. Oh you want you wanna
start? Okay, do you want to start doing your own little investigation.
I'll let you do, like, just do like an investigations. I want
to start selling it. Oh okay, wait, sorry, I thought you
were going to do the opposite. I thought you're like, now, the
Shark's gonna be like the police chief. He's gonna crack down on this shit.
Okay, tell me, I'll pay attention again because Russie just doesn't know
what the characters in the party. No no, no, no, no,
no, no, no. Here's the thing. Here's the thing.
I knew that this is what I thought you were gonna do. It's because
I knew the Shark is usually the guy dealon, you know, he's the
criminal guy. I thought this was the start of him turning a new leave
his redemption arc. This was I thought you were gonna do a one eighty
on me and become like, are morally corrupt because we are gonna have a
long debate about no, no, yeah, we could and we will.
All right. So I personally think, Anthony, what's the drug situation?
And then uh oh, I'll legal. I think we should do that for
this city. You want weed, you just walk in. You want coke,
heroin, it's just safe location. It's available for all that stuff.
It's available. Just funds the economy. Black market's completely new. It's fine.
I've got I've got a list of all the secretaries. Now, yeah,
if eleven people die, I gown like a breathful future conversation. Are
you allowed to do that on Twitch? I don't know. I don't think
you're allowed you anymore. It is a herbal cigarette. Yes, it's a
fake cigarette. It's legal tobacco. Tobacco. Okay, okay, okay,
tobacco. Yes, we're good, We're good. It wasn't even yours.
It was Kala's. It's he's found. He's founded on the floor. Okay,
So the shark, you're you. I need get a new revenue stream
growing. So I'm gonna go to an orphanage, adopted a bunch of kids
and start employing them at street pushers. And then I'm gonna get some of
the bigger kids. I'm gonna arm them and they're gonna be the protectors.
Right, Okay, you go to the orphanage. You you're you're presuming a
lot here. Let's let's let's dial it back. You're in the orphanage.
You find an orphanage it says Samantha's orphanage for dejected children right on the front.
Um. Don't know what's specifying these kids are dejected? Do you just
knock on the door to go in? And do you bust the door?
What are you doing? Oh? I politely knock. Yeah. A woman
opened the door. She's got a hair back in a barn, small little
glasses. She goes, oh, hello, are you here to She's like
forty Oh yeah she's and she goes, are you here to adopt? Yeah?
Like, as many as you can get rid of today, I'll take.
Oh do you write well rich health? So it's fine. Do you
want to come in and take a look at all the children? Just get
them, all of them you can spare. I think, are they going
to a safe home? Do you? Yeah? We might have to you
know, go through the processes. Look, crowd your house, make sure
that you're not like some nefarious person. I have to get the current president
elected. I helped found other Worldly Brewing. I'm very give me. The
kids are all hit you. That's just now roll for intimidation. She is
worried that you are trying to hire these children to work at Other world Li
Brewery. Obviously that's what she's right for this situation. So she goes,
I this is not for child labor. These all children that need need homes.
They are dejected or for children, and one these children are there is
one rat. I love rats. Now these children are dejected. I'm gonna
make them injected because I believe that a good day's labor is the best education
a young man can have now or a woman. Now, I'm not sexist,
as you can see, which means I'm a good person. And so
usually go ahead and hand these children over to me, because I'm gonna give
them a stable future in a career. Let's let's let's give give me a
persuasion check. This is a high DC and I don't think you're gonna make
this what you get. Watch let's wait which which one's persuasion. It's on
your skill list twenty two. That is high enough, high enough. So
she's like, well, you know what they say, I mean, you
know, get them as long as you're paying them, I guess, get
them jobs, help them get off the streets. And and nobody else is
adopting them. Sure coming in and you know what, if you let them
stay here, I'll let you take a cut. I mean, I'll give
you a pay as well. Wait, you want them to you want to
house them, but then no, you also live here. No, they
just sleep there, but during the day they work for me. And I'll
take some of the profits so you can upgrade the orphanage continually and make it
a better place for them. She looks around at her decrepit orphanage falling apart.
It's like, oh, maybe we do need a little bit of extra
funds. If you will mean a better living for the children, that is
what it's what's important. I just want to say in character, the shirk
is from a time or child labor was completely normal. Yea, yeah,
yeah found him. Yeah. So it's like great, so you you you
walk into that room and you see a whole bunch of children. Um,
a couple of them look weird. There's a giant brickman, and there's also
a rat who looks very sad. A rat man, you immediately recognize it
as Douglas. A brick They found their place. They found their place.
Douglas looks up and goes, oh, hey, oh hey, you've come
back for me. You're gonna help a new operations business fell apart. Maybe
they were reading books to the kids. Who knows I lied, She doesn't
know. I'm not a child. Some people chat say, like, I
thought the shark was against child labor. When is the shark ever had consistent
morals? Chaotic? Chaotic, chaotic, chaotic. Yep, guys, I
thought I'd never see you guys again. I mean, I guess it's just
you're the shark. Okay, fuck you, it's not just me the shark.
I'm sorry when I said guys plural. It was a mistake on my
part. I didn't know how to get back to stag Fuff after my tailoring
business fell apart, after Sigmund Freud gave me a bunch of money to help
set it up, but then he died in that big battle, and then
my tailoring business fell apart um. I want to know. I didn't work
in context in my in my head, this has been like four or five
days, because it's like but still he only had like boad days his business
going downhill in those boad days, and he was like, well, better
move into an orphanage been really bad. He opened the tailor's shop and like
people just started coming in and just destroying everything, and it's just like,
my god, everything worked out. They ran about a town or something.
I don't know. If I gave you a loan, would you be able
to reopen your business? Oh? Yes, of course. But I had
to sell the hop skid suit to try and stay afloat of so I don't
have that anymore. So I think of a loan, would you need to
get it back? How much are you will need to give me? I'll
give you one hundred and thirty gold, which I assume is a lot.
I'm still not sure on this world's currency at a three hundred percent interest rate.
Every month I need, I need, like I thought I wasn't almost.
I'll give you eight hundred with a two hundred percent interest rate. Take
it or leave it? Uh? Okay, eight hundred I can I can
reopen a small shop with eight hundred mm okay um, and Brick just looks
sort of sad in the corner he's going. I go over and I give
Brick a big hug, Brick, Brick, I love you, buddy.
I give them like a nice little rub. I'm like, how do you
feel about disciplining children for not doing their job? Well, Brick, yeah,
Bricks on board for anything. I feel like he might that might have
been very similar to his old job. I was about to say, I
think that was what his job used to be on the Hobs. Okay,
so we're just fast forwarding a little bit. I take the children out to
an alley. I tell them where we're getting this. I assume I have
a supplier. I can find these drugs with money upfront and just buy some
um and then we resell at the street value. I tell them what to
sell it as, and I have Brick be the enforcer to watch over them
all. I'm gonna start with like ten kids on the first day and we'll
roll from there. All right, what is the kid's reaction to that?
Okay? Yeah, I mean I don't care. I want you to know
whatever the kids are saying. I don't care because I don't do it.
I'm just going to break their links. Oh I'm cold a lot of porridge.
If you are drug, am I selling? I don't know? Wait,
okay, okay, I'm going to invent a fantasy drug and unprecedented first
time in D and D. I'm gonna have twitch chat name the fantasy chat
all right, just when we're going with it, and it has to be
a lad up word with no relation to anything else. You just put in,
okay, because Bucane ripping on RiPP keep the kids off, blue blood,
keep the kids off. Oh my god, this has gone now it's
now. The chat is just full of The's gonna be a good in here.
Somebody said scrub with a kid, and I really like that. You're
like scrub drub. They got these kids pushing on the scrub like yeah,
it makes you scrub. All right, we're calling it scrub. I like
scrub with a K. All right, all right, it's highly addictive.
That's why I chose it, right, Okay, I wish I could have
seen who said that. You're scratching your went by so quick? Maybe I
can go, But okay, I tell the kids if I see you take
it I break, you don't take us. Okay, it's called being a
good mentor. I guess all right, and now okay, so you've set
this up now as a new way of owning money. My favorite part is
I'm connected to the government. So if you ever trying to sorry arrest me
the shock. How much money do you have on you? I don't know.
I lie about my funds a lot, because you are giving Douglas eight
hundred gold right now, and I want to know why about that. That
was just I was fucking with him. Um you do have yeah, you
have one thousand, forty one gold. But I'm not gonna help Douglas.
I just want him to get away from me the gold. He's got his
hands out like thank you for the gold, mister. I will be like,
yeah, I'll get it later, I'll bring it to you. It's
fine. Oh go go see our friends and I tell them where everyone else
is. Okay, okay, I guess all right, all right, you
shifted, Norman. What are you doing? I am I'm knocking on missus
Snow's door. Okay, all right, okay, the door opens and in
her office door you mean, or I found out where she lives. You
found out where she lives. Well, I mean I walked into it.
I walked into the office. I talked to the guy at the front.
I'm like, yeah, I mean you all give you miss Can you give
me missus Snow's address? It's important, Okay, yeah, and you probably
would get it because you are the boss. Uh, you're not gonna address.
And she opens the door and she goes, oh, Norman, what
do you hello? Hello me, Lady Snow pull up flowers? Oh god,
how many flowers? Is it just like one flower? Oh? Gosh,
okay, it's like three flowers and then a little a little dictation sparkle.
Okay, right, She goes, this is cute. Oh Norman,
Wow, do you want to come in for a cup of tea? Or
sure? Sure? And she leads you in and her room is the colors
of it is soft white and light blue hues. The furniture looks very nice.
She looks like she makes a decent amount from the other world. What
what a what a beautiful home you have? Oh? Thank you, I
mean it's all thanks for the booming business or the other worldly brewery. Am
I right? You guys have been doing such a great job with the business,
and I'm glad you're doing well. And I have to admit you guys
are a lot better boss than hops evil was. Hobbs never came to the
capital and visited Let's alone of us personal house visits. Would you like a
cup of tea? What kind? I have so many? I just think
a random one. Anything we can make sweet, A sweet tea for a
sweet person. She comes over and places the tea cup from the table.
So what do I owe the honor? Um um? I was? I
was wondering. I was wondering if you would like to accompany me on on
on dinner tonight, dinner tonight with one of your employees. Oh, how
scandalous, Norman. But you know I like a bad boy and she like
it's probably like pouring sweat, right, yeah, what place do you have
in mind? Anywhere you like, my love? Oh? Anywhere I'd like.
Oh then I'd love to eat at the Fibonacci sequence. If that place
is still open. That's a that's a fancy. They call it Italian.
I don't know. Da Vinci opened it when he was um the advisor of
a Hopefully it's still doing well. Just played davincially being a piece of ship.
Yes, I heard about that. I hope, I hope mister Washington
will be a good president. So I I worry he seems a bit looney,
wouldn't you agree? Yeah, Oh, that's for sure. That's for
sure. I don't know if you. I feel the other Worldly Brewery are
much more competent at ruling, you know, organizing people and taking control of
large places than someone like George Washington. Well, as you know, George
Washington would not be in power if it wasn't for us. We are we
are out of this world after all. Oh, so you're saying that because
you're not from this place, you don't feel right ruling. Ah, you
know, pretty ammisation of power. That's really commendable. There's no no amount
of money they could painting in the world to become president that's worth job.
Ever. Yeah, well, Norman, I could always do you a favor.
I could always, you know, take the roll up for you if
you want. I mean not right now, of course, but in the
future. Well I'm not following you want to be president of this Oh no,
well, you know, yeah, big shoes to fill. But if
you feel like the other Worldly Brewery you would have more control. You are
still my boss after all? Why not listen? We will talk about this
later over dinner. Sounds good, I'm gonna I'm gonna go to the Fiminaci
sequence and get us a reservation. Perfect. I'll see you there, all
right, M very interesting, Okay. I go over to sequence. You
walk up. It still looks as as right as ever. The problem is,
Um, you can see it used to have like Italian flags on it,
but they've just been like painted over with American flags. And and there's
a I guess you go in and there's a there's a there's a waiter by
the front door. Um with a little thin mustache goes, hello, Welcome
to the Fiber sequence. We serve yeah, a pasta and a pizza.
But but now because of the new laws, we also serve everything with a
side of French fries and and dot dogs. And I love French fries.
A song as the spaghetti slaps too, French fries and spaghetti with a great
combo. Classic there's a classic, classic classic spaghetti and hot dogs. Love
it. Okay, I flip, I flicked the guy one gold coin and
like, make sure we have a reservation for eight under the Norman Norman Norman,
Oh, of course, my good sir. I'll get you to find
this table lid the center of the spiraler um. I'm glad. Yeah yeah,
now you say, okay, holy moly, okay, so all right
before we get you guys better have free refills before we do Norman's dinner.
Just just I want to double check with Cody and Anthony that there's nothing else
they want to do. I'm probably he got my hands full with with sort
of construct moving rubble out of the center of the city in and building things
back up as well. You know, I'm I'm trying to I'm trying to
ingratiate myself with the people. I don't want them to think of me as
one of the people who just destroyed it the center of this. George Washington's
going to come up to you. Hey, Cody, Hey, I'm currently
looking for a secretary of um labor. You know, someone that is in
charge of lifting things yeah, um or you know, if you have any
other ideas secretary, like like i'd be running things. Yeah, you'd be
in an office. Yeah, like I like I sort of look around and
I don't think any of my team members are here, ye, Lean look,
man, I don't. I don't write so well. I don't think
I can really do a like a sit down office job, you know what
I mean? Hey, you want to hear a secret? I don't know
how to write either, My man, I used to have this friend of
mine. His name was Alexander Hamilton. Um. He used to do all
my writing for me. He also used to like rap and sing a whole
bunch that was weird. But um, but I kind of miss it.
I wish I had a rapping singing guy. Everything everyone needs a rapping singing
guy rapping and singing that it became so popular it became kind of annoying,
even though it was genuinely good. Rapping and singing. Yeah, yeah,
I don't know. That's not the shock. That's like some random he's like
some guys shoveling like that. Yeah yeah great, Well, mom my guy,
you don't need to do any We will assign you a writer. You
just have to make decisions related to labor, you know, construction. Okay,
Yeah, I don't. I'm good at decision making. I think like
jobs, Yeah, I've had a job, yeah right yeah, public welfare
Okay, I think I think, I think I could manage that, you
know, I mean, I'm not going to be here for very long,
hopefully, but while I am, you know, you have my uh yeah,
he'll have my assistance. Good good, good good. Should I shake
his hand? Handshakes, He'll shake your hand and he does he have a
firm handshake that. Oh yeah, he has a firm handshake. Um.
And whenever you shake George Washington's hand, sort of like a wind up toy
or like a um the American anthem starts playing, you don't know, and
then when you stop, it stops. It's a little bit like out of
key mechanical. It just goes out. Dude, dude, dude, like
slowed down the handshake. Okay, oh my god, all right, yeah,
all right, Norman, it is now nighttime. You're so nervous.
I'm so nervous. Um, you're you're you're waiting outside the Fibonaci sequence and
snow walks off in this magnificent shimmering white dress like that like spark wasn't what
are you dressed in? Normal? What storm? I think I'm stonesed in
my sweater and his one outfit covered in dust and blind from this entire journey.

at the restaurant, you're in the center of the spiral. There's like a
standardlier's over you. Um, and it's the atmosphere is incredible. That's there.
There is the French, the French, the the American national anthem is
playing, but it's playing on like in a very Italian accordion style. Um,
and like jazz pianists and stuff. It seems like one of Washington's new
amendments is to make the American national play everywhere. But at least they have
their own spin on it. Here and the waiter comes and gives you,
guys the menus, and the menu just has it has Italian classics with American
twists. Us. By the way, It's like, is he really you

quite steep, but I know you can cover it. You're you know you
have a big Sharon, one of the most well, of course, honestly,
we have we have a better revenue stream than than just through other Worldly
Brewery. That's just a side project. Really, what is your main revenue
stream? It's a it's a skeleton infinite money, a skeleton with infinite money.
Pretty much the whole reason we took over this, uh, this,
this kingdom was was for that. Yeah. And he seems like such an
interesting person. I'd love to meet him. She kind of sucks, not
gonna lie, But of course if you would like to meet at him at
some point, I could arrange lesson You know, everyone sucks in comparison to
you, Norman. Thank you, So I understand why you would think that.
But so this skeleton man, Um, you said I could meet him.
I mean at some point he might be coming here eventually, he's coming
to the capital. Huh, yes, yes, well I um, I'd
love to have a arrange a meeting with him. Is he is? Was
he a member of the other Worldly Brewery in some way? Was just a

thank you very much. UM, I really do appreciate that. UM.
I feel really bad. It's like we were on a huge side your

Norman has tons of money. Literally, we have infinite money. So
I come back with the wine and with the spaghetti glass, and I'm just
like here because is the best beverage I've ever had. I like a man
with interesting drink choices. UM. I mean, you got to be creative
to be able to be a business owner. That's true, waiter. I
would like to get the the steak, and I would like a side of
your finest Monzarellistics. Sorry, we eighty six the months of realistics. We

gap ahead here, you guys. You guys continue eating and drinking throughout the
night. Um, is there anything that you want to do during the course
of this dinner? Norman? No, okay, Norman's first date. He's
a pussy's He's going to say thank you for the vile and leave. Okay.
As you're on your way out, Um, Snow turns to you,
Norman and goes, that was an amazing dinner, and thank you for picking
up the check. I really appreciate that. Of clause, of course,
we should do it again sometime, although I do I do need to go.
Yeah, I got some business that tells you know, of course.
Of course, Um, thank you for the wonderful night. I hate no.
No. She cues your arm as you're about to run off, and
she goes Norman, Norman, and she gets really close to your to you
close to the ear, and she goes I'll be in touch, okay,
and then she kisses you on the cheek, fucking, and then she walks
off into the night. Love this world? All right? All right,
okay, so we've done all the all the interim stuff. Okay, welcome
back everyone. A few weeks now pass and um, a a man on
horseback arrives into the town. You hear wisps, you hear people talking,
who's this skeleton man who's arrived? Um? I don't know where you guys
did in your letter? Did you dictate where you wanted to meet Wellington in
town? Right to come to the castle? Right you meet him there now
straight to the castle? Or I don't know, I guess where where?
Yeah? Where are week in the in the week? Yeah, like a
home? Where have we been? Like yeah, probably we've probably had albase
in the castle? Yeah yeah, you have like a robe in the castle.
Okay, Yeah, he's going to come to the castle. Um.
He gets off his horse. Um and that the castle it has been destroyed
obviously because you but the real the castle construction site is where you meet him.
Um, you guys are trying to rebuild it. Um, and he
that Wellington walks up to you guys, he goes, um, ah,
my friends, it seems that you guys have taken care of Leonardo da Vinci.
If I could weep, I would Ah. You're all here now,
yeah yeah, yeah yeah. Um. Can I just take a moment to
say congratulations. I I really underestimated your guys's fighting prowess. I did not
think that you could do it. But I have to eat my words,
and I owe you an apology as well. I mean honest, I was
knocked out for most of it, but I think Cody turned into some kind
of giant monkey and yeah I went like big monkey. Yeah he went ham
on him. Yeah. Well um. The other guys were there as well,
but it was mostly me. Well, good good job, Cody.
Yeah, thank you. So I assume you guys still want to get home.
That opinion has a change at all, has it? No, I
need to get out of here. How much money have it made from the
kids. It's been about two to three weeks now, so the operation has
really started getting its footing. So you've maybe made like fifty gold. I
want to point out, by the way, it was Dragon Blazer six two
six who came up with the name scrub shout out dragon laser sixty six of
profit or total I'd say total. Wow, So you're yeah, yeah right.
I obviously don't want the holy sites to be activated again. I don't
want the gods to come back. But I've been doing some thinking and if
and I did promise that I would tell you where Norman's Holy Site was,
as if you guys took out Leonardo da Vinci and I'm am out of my
word, so I will tell you that. Um, do you are you
guys? Do are you guys confident enough in your own abilities and strength?
Do you think you could fight a god? Oh? Whoa whoa? Okay,
dial m mister Wellington. I mean because I know I couldn't, and
that's why I did what I did. Yeah, I think we could fight
a god in about four or five levels. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I mean yeah, true. You guys have your character sheets. I mean,
listen, like, my God gave me the ability to turn into a
big monkey and fight. At this point, I can do that myself.
So I think we're getting close. So Cody, you think that just turned
into a giant monkey is enough to kill a god? I can kill It?
Felt like we're fighting all the gods that wants. Right, if it's
just one god, God, how hard could it be? He wouldn't just
be one god. Oh, if you activated the towers, we would have
to fight all twelve of them at once. There's twelve. Oh my god?
Yes, what about he's a god? Right? Well, don't we
get wishes? Can't we get like we use the fucking fountain to wish the
God's dead. If we could wish the God's dead, I would have wished
the God's dead when I when I got the wishes beforehand. Um, I'm
down to kill them, absolutely down to kill like a lot of them.
I don't think the gods will give us wishes this time, and the gods
are not happy to begin with. Yeah. No, I actually I spoke
to Drew during the fight, and he yeah, we are not on good
terms right now. I think. I don't know about the rest of you
guys, but he oh, I think we can come up with something that's
in both of our interests. If you, guys, if I give you
the information to the remaining holy sites, and you guys light them all again
and some of the gods so that you guys, so the portal in the
fountain opens and you guys can go home. I would in exchange. We
have to put an end to these gods. Yeah, Leonardo da Vinci was
just a stepping stone. He was just a puppet being used by them.
M I mean it sounds like a plan to me at the end of the
day, Like I personally don't want to go home, but I'm still gonna
help activate the towers for everyone else. And sounds fun like a good quest.
Let's fight those guards. Yeah, I'm down. I like could he
like puts his hand in the middle. Okay, what do you think?
Yeah, what do you think about this? The shock? It sounds golden
to me. I'm pretty sure I could take them on myself, so not
fighting a deity. If you can get the pendent wheelders on your side as
well, I'm sure that they would be able to help in that in that
last battle. Um, I'm pretty sure Ripper could kill him for us.
And we asked nice enough, who's Ripper? He's the one who sent me
that message? Yes he did. Did it arrive safely? The letter arrived
safely? Oh? No, I mean the guy that Ripper sent Oh heh
Okay, he didn't make it? Was he named character? Do you know
his name Skeleton, Yeah he was. I guess he is a named character,
but he's not anyone you would know. Um yeah, um his name
was Plaugh Claugh you know, well, right, I hope Pla. I
mean he was herfice was not in vain, he is. He is an
employee of the Worldly Brewery. So if you know the names of all your
employee, yes, yeah, we'll get some money to his family or something.
Yeah. Um right, mm hmm. He was my favorite. He
was my favorite character. At least he died doing what he loves. He
still has his hand in the middle of this group. Oh yeah yeah,
yeah, nobody seems to have doing Okay, I'll do it. Yeah yeah
him god Killer ready, Yeah, Little Feather puts her hand in her wing.
Yeah, Wellington puts his hand in. Um. Norman, yes,
okay, the shock can you put your hand in? I put my like
my gun on top. Yeah all right, and Anthony as well, all
right, all right, God till on three one two three, we all
just get struck by light because this walks past. He's like, what you
guys, can you guys say it? Yea, so it um it it
it. The gods have cotton Wind of what we're doing. So as a
as a warning, next time you activate one of these towers, I don't
think they're going to come as winningly as they did last time. Okay,
so, okay you you guys all have activated your towers, right except for
what Norman? Yes, all right, you go tackle that then. I
guess Wellington you've probably got You've been keeping better tabs on these towers than we
have. Do you know exactly which ones we've activated and which we haven't?
Well, you could tell by the fountain, Fountain, the fountain. Oh
yeah, I remember that. I think most a lot of them are activated.
The the only ones remaining are the the Bard Tower, the Bard the
Holy Site, m the I think the Ranger Holy Site is not activated.
Yeah? Where is Budhica? Is she still? Exactly? You don't?
You don't know what Boudicar is because the person who knew a Boudico, Leonardoso
Vinci, sent Boudica somewhere, but you don't know, and now he's dead,
so you have to find her at some point. Um. Yeah,
well, I'm sure we'll come. The Wizard Tower Ranger is activated. Sorry,
Ranger Ranger is activated. Don't you don't need to find for her to
ranger is activated. Sorry, so um Bard's not activated, Wizards not activated?
Um am I missing any I think Cleric, Yeah, Monk, Cleric,
Bard, Wizard. Those four so Jesus, Washington, U and Norman
Norman and then okay the Bard who you suspect as the it's the dog dog,
Yes, those four. Sorry, the ranger is activated. Okay,
Now I know that we all are very excited for Norman's tower. Cordy specifically
is very excited about this dog. Okay, well, I I know where
the Norman's tower, Wellington says, is the information I promised to give you.
His tower is deep in Sulkan territory. It's like southwest Sulkan Um and
you're so you have to make your way through there and find it. I
think it's if I remember correctly, it's it's it's in the deserts. It's
in the deserts. Okay, yeah, I don't do too well with heat.
But I'm I say we go to we go to my tower. I
want to I want to get some I want to get a power boost forwarded
m. Yeah. I'm not sure if you're gonna get much of a power
boost anymore, because the God's not gonna you know, comply, but you
never know. I feel like people people tend to like me. You've got
that lady, that lady friend of yours seemed to like you. Yeah,
she's a really nice friend. Yeah, Cody, you'd be so proud of
you. Man. I took uh, I took Lady Snow out on a
date. Dude, No way that the cheek dude and I like bring him
in on like a big hook and I'm like his back, Like that's what
I'm talking about. Oh you, um, this this, this Lady Snow
is someone that you know Passili Norman. Um do you guess? Well,
she works for the other Worldly of Brewery and she's really beautiful. Oh.
I had someone give me a lesson as I was riding at the town.
Um, she wants to meet up for for for dinner with me at some
point, and I had no idea who she was. She's really interested in
your money, mister Wellington. Yeah. I may have slipped that you gave
us infinite money yea. And honestly, as the businesswoman that she is,
I'm sure she only wants it to help the other Worldly Brewery. Yeah.
Right, So I figured you guys could connect if you want, But if
you don't want, you know, a big deal. Um right, If
if I wanted to help the other worldly brewery, I would just give us
money. But yeah, yeah, but there's no point in seeing here then.
Yeah no, but you know, economics is more tricky than that,
and I don't want to cause inflation. So you know, I can't just
like I give you all of my infinite supply of money forever, because then
that will fuck everything up. But yeah, just enough that we have the
power to do what we want and achieve our object main mission like good,
well, um, I'm not exactly a money hungry guy, as long as
we can feed the table, feed ourselves and have fun. Do you have
a place here in the capital that I can like make Um, I could
stay and make base. That's you mentioned just in your letter, did we
Um? Well, well you said I couldn't need to stay in the volcano
anymore. Yeah, no, we you know, we're kind of involved with
the government now, Um, so we could find you some lodging in the
castle, which is kind of like perfect Washington's home base right now. So
yeah, yeah, I mean there's kind of root for the castle, But
I really want. I know about the castle. I know about the castle.
There's a bunch of like houses that are probably for sale as well.
And you have the money, so if you want to just buy a house,
you could just buy a house. So yeah, George Washington is the
president's now is what I've noticed? Yeah, yeah, you didn't want to
restore the monkey. No, No, me and Cody are secretary. The
only one who has left is Finn. And he's a child so and he's
still in the castle. I assume, yes, somewhere. I don't know
if shark is having I think the shark HadAM on the streets giving people's packages.
I wasn't sure. Actually the shock is true. Is Finn part of
your child drug operation? Finn's gotta be too you No? Yeah, okay,
I mean okay, then I guess I will look after Finn whilst you
guys are out and about. Yeah, I think it will be best.
What was that the shock? He's all enough to fight income you wanted to
come with you? He stabbed a guy. He'll he'll just slow us down.
I think that doesn't seem very safe. Yeah, okay, look,
um, I think it's probably best if we yeah, get rid of the
King, queen kids whatever, just let them live a normal rid of kids.
Yeah. And the only country I know where I'm from that has like
a king and queen is like, I think, Canada and I don't know,
right, Okay, I gotta say though, the King of Canada does
sound like a really cool title. Ye who buys drugs from literal kids?
You have no idea? How dark? I feel like that happens very frequently
and most places on Earth. All right, So Wellington is now just going
to be in the castle and he's going to hang out there as you're I
think I think it's fair for him and Washington to link up to try and
like organize. They will have a meeting with the towers. Yeah yeah,
yeah, um great, that sounds perfect. Well, I'll do an end
story that's Washington at Wellington meeting up that they have a nice dinner in the
meantime. Do we want to head start it to the Wizard Tower. Yeah,
you guys can go. It's a little bit of a journey, but
you guys can go because it's southwest and the capital's northeast. Well, it's
on the other side of the country. Yeah, boy, So we gotta
gotta really prepare for this. Do does Wellington know the location of any of
the other shrines? Yeah? Yes, I mean he knows them roughly,
but yes, okay, because he he has he told us or hes he
just told us like oh there's a dog. He hasn't told you the locations
of the other of the other sites yet, because he just promised to tell
you the word one. I mean you can't ask, but I mean yeah,
I mean it's it's it's like, I'm he only made the promise for
that one. But wait, come on, we're on good terms good Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, um, I can trust there's broken Yeah sure.
Um. Can I make a little pit stop to buy something, but not
tell chat what I buy? We have, I have money, so I
should go to buy. Yeah you can. You can DM me, yeah
something, but I don't want me dm me. Then all right, okay,
Well, not gonna makes that purchase. I guess we'll just say it
to Wellington before he leaves, like, can you give us like a general
idea of where these shrines are? Yes, I'll make all I'll make sure
to make a note of it. Um. Okay, so when you guys
come back, I can point you in the right direction appreciated. All right,
how are we do? We want to get some like horses and we're
gonna need water. I'm gonna say, you guys have horses and supplies in
this city full stop? Right you have? We know what we need to
go to the desert. I'm from capitals. They so, yeah, we
get all the ship. If there's anything, I'm gonna assume you have food,
water, supplies. If it is anything specific, tell me now,
you know, like like for example, Norman's thing. But um, if
anything, the Shark, if you want to bring anything, Norman is not
buying drugs. He's not gonna go down Ragnart. Does this world have sunscreen?
I don't know. I don't think so. They might have some sort
of like um like herbe you can put on your face. Yeah, if
there's something like that, I want to pick that up. Okay. Um
can I bring my child soldiers? I mean you can't. I don't think
you can bring out your children there by the way, Shark, I want
to ask you about that. So at the hospital where I work at,
so people were coming in addicted to this drug and they said they got it
from children, and they said that they got it from you. What travels
fast? Okay, this conversation is going to be the one that you guys
are having on route gallery. No question. All of that was just statements,
all right, A little for us like this seems a little bit morally
questionable. The shark, you don't seem to have a My discord just froze.
My internet just went out. George Washington sat at his desk, not
quite the Oval Office, but he'll have to suffice. He had done it.
He'd achieved his dreams of democracy and only took a little bloodshed. He'd
leaned back in his chair and smile. Think you've already accomplished. A quick
knock came at the door, snapping the President out of his daydream. Coming
in, he said cautiously. He wasn't expecting visitors. The door slowly opened,
and with grace Washington had not seen before. A lady emerged from the
doorway, white hair tied back in a professional ponytail, her cold blue eyes
evaluating him as she walked towards the table. After a moment of stunned silence,
he finally managed to speak, and who are you? The words almost
got trapped in his throat. This woman oozed confidence. She smiled and perched
herself up upon the desk, posistening her body so she was looking down at
him, daylight highlighting her pale features. They never told me our new king
was this handsome, she mused. Washington quavered in response, the room feeling
a lot more stuffy and warm. Actually, ma'am, it's president, President
whatever. She waved it off with her hand. My name is Snow.
I am the director of the Capital's branch of the other Worldly Brewery. I'm
aware that you are familiar with my employers. Ah, yes, I know
them, and I'm not wrong in assuming that it's due to their help that
you won this position in office. Well, I wouldn't say that's entirely true.
I'd say it was more of a team effort. Snow leaned down towards
him, lowering her voice. Oh, don't act dumb. I know you're
smarter than this. If it wasn't for their skills, you'd still be in
the streets peddling your democracy like some sort of backwater religion. You owe them
big time, and they've come to collect. What do they want? Oh,
look at you so nervous, You're adorable. You don't have to worry.
It's nothing that extreme. We just expect a little bit more representation in
your new government representation. I've already made a few of them, my cabinet
members. Yeah, but it seems like you don't have what did you call
it? A secretary of the Treasury and as a businesswoman. My bosses have
decided I would be perfect for the role. Ah, if they say so.
Washington felt trapped, like being lost in a blizzard. No matter where
he tried to direct his attention, it was only Snow. From avery angle.
She was practically on top of him, now, face close to her,
lips tickling his ear. I promise I'll be a hard worker, and
to sweeten the deal, I could always provide other benefits. Washington swallowed hard
as he felt a gentle kiss brush the side of his cheek. He felt
his face burning hot. Okay, he stammered, Good boy, Snow replied,
