Please continue. Welcome to the show, everybody. How's it going?
This is the Fleam Squad tonight. We are we are. There's a good
fifty or more of us that are sick right now. And Pbe threw her
voice out from screaming at a horror game all day today. It's Frida Night.
Friday, bitch, it is so uh, this will be interesting.
Let's hope we don't die please, that would be That would be good.
That'd be good. I mean, you guys have two ways that you hope
you don't die tonight. I guess right, huh okay, uh yes,
huh, I mean, yes, we're gonna die. I don't know if
Wack just made a subtle depression joke, like I was like really proud for
a second. I meant your characters as your characters and sick, Yes,
characters and sickness. You know I'm sick and I'm on his level. Everyone
else needs to get up here. I'm fine, down down at the bottom.
Welcome to the show, everybody. How's it going? Is everybody ready
for the finale tonight? Is everybody ready? Yes? Yes? And no?
Like I don't really want it to be over, but also I'm emotionally
spent and I kind of want a conclusion to my own horror story, so
you know there's that and yeah, yes, no? Is that a good
answer? Sure? I'm sad I won't be able to tell everyone about coffee
time with Jay Potato on Spotify and iTunes. I know this could be probably
the second to last time doing it. That meme followed me to twitch Con.
That was kind of fun good somebody dress no, I you know it's
funny though. I don't know if you heard me on a ragtags yesterday whack.
But there are a couple of people that came up to me at twitch
Con and were like, oh, what's up, Johnny. You know,
I'm like, what's up? They were really cool. Now you got to
get tattoos there, Jay, like on your elbows, elbow or the Johnny
one's like a haughty Yeah. There you go. There you go think think
about the memes, Jay. I mean, that's how you live your life
anyway, I might as well embrace it fully. Right, Welcome to the
show, everybody. If you've never seen the show before, well you're tuning
into the finale, so you're probably gonna be really confused. I don't know
how to help it. You could sum it up. I could sum up
the entire show. Yeah, I mean, yeah, kind of that's a
that's a lot of optimism you have, Peebe, that's a lot. I
just think it's I think it's one of those shows that you could actually hop
in at anytime because you get the idea of what's happening immediately, and then
the chat role playing part is super cool. It's so and if it were,
if it were real life, people would be hopping in in the middle
fair fair immersion, immersion, some big brain, some big brain solutions.
Can we show them? Can we show them? Jay Jay is referring to
the fact that the show is in fact sponsored by Monte Cook Games. That
wasn't Yeah, pay a lot, you can tell. I didn't think it
was gonna croak like that. I'm so sorry. It sounded like a moss.
Just sounded like the sounds that you came into Mike with like three weeks
ago when you came on air and you're like, Peebe's laugh has gotten all
distorted now because of her because of her voice getting thrown out as well.
So I've got in case people, I would guessed my voice actually went out
after Zbo this the beginning of the week and it's been out like all week.
I knew that because it cracked and you were like, here goes my
voice and all you did was take a drink, and I was like,
oh no, he's fucked. It was done. It's over. So yeah,
so this is this will be really fun trying to trying to do voices
and things. But we'll see how that goes. I'll fake it. I'll
fake it till I make it. But yeah, we are in fact sponsored
by Monticok Games. Darcy is in chat there. Thank you so much for
organizing everything, putting it all together, Darcy, thank you so much.
And if you guys are curious about New min Era in general, you can
head on over to the Monticook Game Store and you can pick yourself up some
books. You want to show them, guys, Yeah, show them.
Oh my god, I've actually been dying. I wanted to go through this
my chat earlier, but then I dropped one. Sorry, Darcy, So
I was like, I'm never touching these again. I saw them on your
Instagram. I was like, I was like, wait to open these until
we're all together. And then on his Instagram he's like, look look at
everything. I never got a memo that we had to work. You don't
have to. I just thought it'd be fun, that's all. You don't
have to. It was just to read properly. Yeah, I didn't get
the caresses face with the books. Yeah, we got some some wonderful books
here. If you guys are curious about them. The core books are Destiny
and Discovery. Those are the books that we just all held up there.
Either book can get you started with New min Era. They have ways for
you to make characters. They have monsters, creatures, NPCs, they have
lore, they have adventures, they it's just filled with stuff. One book
is is a combination of like a player's guide and a whole setting for you
to use and play. So if you have both of them, then you
have access to all the different kinds of characters that you can make. There's
amazing maps. They have the slip case set which is what what the what
the group here has Go check it out on the on the store and if
you head on over there and you want to buy some stuff, you can
use the coupon table story. Head on over there. Wait wait, wait
wait. This is one of my favorite parts that comes to the box set.
A this which has all of it. It's a bookmark and it's backwards
because I'm backwards, but it has all of the pages on all the things
that you will need to know, artifact list, everything. It tells you
that it's great. I'm reading the Gunslinger trilogy by seeing King right now,
and I use this as my bookmark and or the other one rather because it
comes with two and then this the quick reference for GMS. It's perfect.
I'm sorry Team Bookmarks accidentally threw those away. What like, I didn't realize.
I just thought they were like I don't know, like because we just
got home from twitch Con and it was like, oh, package took it
upstairs. There's a bunch of plastic everywhere. Oh whoops, whoa, No,
so cool. They're great too. They have all the page numbers and
everything on them. These I know. When I pulled them out, I
was like, oh, these are cool, Like, these are cool,
but I can't find them now, so I'm guessing they just got like whatever
you do, Darcy, do not send him replacements. Does not deserve them
shaded. Can I show off the map? Absolutely? The map is so
cool. Sorry. What I love about it is there's like seven pages of
rules and the rest is everything else. It's just it's so great, so
cool. Oh my god, look at it. I didn't even do that
yet. Where is that? On the very wo there's a poster of uh
yeah for the first time, and it's got the it's got like just a
little bit of sticky on it so that you can actually keep it into the
book. Yeah. Well, I'm sure people listening to this are like,
oh my god, they paid so much, and Pebe is just like,
I'm I would do this regardless. It's amazing. I fucking great for those
of you listening. You have some creaking galoo sounds that new book. Oh
yeah, the sounds of new book. And it smells like new book too.
I don't want to printer. You're welcome. Wait wait, wait,
wait, I think I can do it. Hold on, hold on,
this is so I'm so sorry, whack. I know this is a finale
and you don't want to forever, but wait for it, wait for it,
get it. Oh, I smell it from you. That is your
book. I don't know how to put it back together. You're such a
door. I love how much joy it brings to you. Oh god,
Okay, I'm sorry, but yeah, obviously we're we're big fans of the
books. And it's not because they're we're sponsored for the show. It's legit.
We legit love them and we reached out first. We were like,
we want to do the show. We want to use Newman Eara. Do
they want to work with us. So Darcy was like, hell yeah,
and she's started on board already. Everything up. I don't know how to
put it back here now things that's folding, so it's a second grade thing.
So yeah, you can head on over the store. Also on our
Patreon, we still have we still have a bundle available for you. Uh
that Monty cook Games is kind of available. Yeah, it's still available.
The steal, y'all, that's the steal. If you hop on over to

off? Because there's yeah, you know, you know you can. They're
pretty click. They're twin schools. So let's get into the new and aarra
minds. It's okay, It's okay, I'm easily excitable. No you,
Let's let's get ready for some new min Era tonight, guys. So,
on the previous episode of Simulacrum, the group had all sort of come to
realize that they were losing their memories and they were trying to cope with it
as best they could by writing things down and taking stock of really important things
going on in their lives or things that had happened to them or people that
were important to them, and the the group trying to decide how they can
proceed and if they were going to try and get their friend Katie Peters plays
character Jax Castler get her resurrected, or they talked about it, and I
don't know if they came up with a solid answer on that as to what
they were going to do. But Jay had sort of wandered off and had
tried to communicate with Chad again, worrying the group to no end, especially
after all the conversation about the memory loss and everything. But he managed to
communicate with Chat and there was a lot of conversation that happened in the last
episode in regards to that chat situation. And I would just like to remind
everybody before we do get started with the show today that chat will be sort
of rpeeing along with the show, and it can get really intense in chat.
There there can be situations that might make you very uncomfortable, and that's
kind of part of the experience here. It's not always super pleasant, but
the atmosphere that's sort of been established with this show and get pretty emotional and
heavy. And this is something that I've sort of talked with the players already
about and it's sort of cathartic for some of us in a way. And
even though these things are intense, we talk about this stuff after the show
and everybody, you know, I try to make sure everybody's okay after the
show, and you know, make sure that nothing was too much to handle.
So rest assured. Even though we had some difficult messages for some people
to deal with in the last show and chat, everyone's okay. And and
it was our P, you know it was. It wasn't Yeah, it
was. It was good. RP is what it is, and good RP
makes you feel uncomfortable sometimes, but that's why we love it. Yeah,
So, uh that being said, players, if you could close down the
chat roger that and yeah, they were they were dealing with this difficult memory
loss situation and they heard from uh Chat. They gave them a lot of
information, almost too much information. By the way, Mods, if you're
in here tonight, if we do encounter another situation where they communicate with chat
again, if we could have you put the channel in slow mode, just
because it was beyond overwhelming last time, and I don't think it was really
I don't think it really was helpful in that case, so we'll just try
and put the chat in slow mode during that time, and they got a
lot of information about situations that were going on, and they got some accurate
information and some untrustworthy information. Oh arley, should I have my headphones off?
I mean, there was suspicion between everybody here. And they met up
with an Eon priest by the name of Korn, who was keeping an eye
on someone named the Whispering Green. H a very powerful entity that the basically
the Order of Truth mean priests were keeping an eye on. And uh,
it just so happened to be in the City of Bridges and they initiated a
conversation with with Corn specifically Technome and and who was first to speak with korin
I can't remember. I think it was me because I bought him the fruit,
right, I bought him the fruit and yeah, and and Technoms sorted
to join in the conversation Whispering Green after you ask Nol a question seemed to
react to Nol's presence and the question she had asked. I think PB was
about was about the Whispering Green. Right, you were trying to see what
you remembered. Yeah, mostly because I know this is super meta, but
that's why I were doing that. In this game, but I recognize her
from the Best Tiary that came in the Newman era bundle. So I'm wondering
how we want to do that. So the session is going to start tonight
basically right in that situation. Okay, you had just asked nol this question,
and you can see that the Whispering Green, and I'll pull up this
handout for you again just so you can remember as this sort of movement that's
really similar to the way that the Oracle sort of moved, almost like she's
underwater, the Oracle from three hundred, sort of this fluidic kind of motion.
She's mumbling in things as she does so, and you asked Noel about
this. Cora Ali, please make a difficulty seven intellect check in regards to
memory. You have two assets. You have rolled a natural twenty. You
remember whatever you remember about the Whispering Green. Shad, We're lying on my
memory, which isn't so great, So maybe just curt the enthusiasm a little
bit. But time had stopped right, Well, it slows down when nay,
But you can see while you're talking to Null, Yeah, the Whispering
Green has a reaction and is staring at Null. Uh. You guys.
Yeah, it looks like they recognize No. Also, I recognize this person
from the bestI harry from before we played the game. Were we sleeper close
to each other? Just are we? Or like are we that's up to
you our way, I can't remember if we all gathered. Okay, I
stepped up to talk to him at that fright stand. I think I might
be the only one separated. I would assume that technome and and you are
the only ones that are the only ones that are sort of closer to Koran,
like the whispering green. Koran is probably like he was circling around me,
wasn't he. Yeah, he was. The Koran was probably about ten
feet away or so from the whispering green. Okay, there is no in
this like I've never I've never imagined No in the scene with us to you,
what do you think? Yeah, I also never imagined him in the
scene. Right, Yeah, that was I think the first physical representation it's
been given there. So yeah, we've always looked up. So it's probably
just traditionally like a little data sphere thing above us, right, like a
okay, kind of singular thing that we're making at this time. We only
see the first time we see maybe maybe we are always just looking up into
something, and then maybe when she's looking at it, and then we see
some sort of representation of him. Right, oh yeah, okay, So
I whispering Green is wearing this sort of similar to like a sorry, a
green sort of flowing silk kind of attire, and they're moving in this sort
of like really strange, almost swimming underwater kind of way, twisting their body.
But they suddenly sort of stop and they look towards Noll, and I'm
so sorry. Did I remember asking if Korn saw Noll, like if he
noticed in this slow down that we were that we were He didn't and didn't
seem to know. Yeah, so you said you recognized it, you know
this? Yes, sort of? I mean, you know, my memory
shit, So all I remember. I remember reading that it was like a
really creepy secret keeper. I think it looks terrifying, and I don't think
we should fight it at all. I think it's devastating if imber. I
just remember reading that it was like really difficult, and then I was like,
that's cool, and then I moved on, Yeah, we're in the
middle of a city. I'm not going to fight. But they know a
lot of things. They're like keeper of secrets, so maybe they don't how
yeah, maybe they know how to get us out of here. But I
do remember it being like dicey, you know, like typical secret keeper.
You never know if they're going to fuck you or not. Right, it's
worth a shot. Should we tell them and get out of here? Or
you're implying we talked to them. I think we should talk to them.
They clearly know that Noel is here. I believe by now, the scene
has sort of like resumed speed. Yeah, and you can see Coran Kran
has like a physical reaction. As soon as the whispering Green seems to move
and stop, Coran drops his dropped his fruit and oh my, oh my,
are you okay? What is happening? Whispering Green has seen you?
Does she not normally do that? No? What does that mean? Whispering
Green starts to move towards the group in a sort of like strange Yeah,
it's okay, it's okay, it's okay kind of. I don't think she'll
attack first. She's like knowledge keeper, so if we don't attack her,
she should probably leave us alone. I think reveal that she has high I'm
remembering this wrong. I'm I'm so sorry. She's gonna fucking blast us with
a laser beam, or she's gonna blast us. Thinks she's gonna reveal us
to everyone else who we really are? Who is null above? Was it
above you, Corlay? I guess so because I asked the question. I
didn't imagine that he had a physical presence. So if he does, then
probably he's above whoever's interacting or interfacing whispering Green moves right past you, Una
and then gets near Techno and stops and hello, sort of not looking at
you, Technome, but like very close to you, maybe like a foot
away. They stop, and they still moving their body in strange ways.
They awkwardly just turn their heads straight to look at you. Uh, guys,
yeah, what do I do? Do I say something? I just
say hello? Maybe hello? Hell? Hi? You hear it? You
see it? You? You don't hear and see it? I get I
put my face closer to one of the faces, just one face, yeah,
or the face sorry. Yeah, And she's not really focusing on any
part of you, but just looking at you and don't reveal too much her
head. That's fucking weird. Don't reveal too much. Use it in tride.
Oh see it and hear it. The data sphere is yours as well.
Oh yeah, I'm a nano. Yes I can. I yep,
I can see it. Oh I like look around like, yep I can.
That's what I do. That's she's she knows what I do. Have
I seen the changes changes? Creation is the foundation? Guys? Have you
seen any changes? I mean, I've seen some demons, but you can
all hear her. I think she's talking about us. Yeah, oh you
mean these guys. Yeah, they're not from around here. Just kind of
in the middle of your sentence, moves past you and walks sort of quickly
in a Again, it's so like off putting the way that she's moving.
It's almost like a an underwater dance, the way that she moves, and
she sort of turns and spins and positions herself. She's extremely flexible, you
know, the equivalent of like a circ disolay performer, and she moves and
positions herself towards you, Coralai. Oh god, yeah, she gets close
to us. I'm probably taking like a step or two back. Thought is
creation? What thought is creation? The Nano's now the nanos can feel it.
Okay, she's sort of turning around. She's putting her hand through the
space where Noul was. Yeah, hey, Nol, I summon him again
so she can see him. What is your query? Ah? How can
I get know to interact with a whispering green? What do you want to
ask him? What do you want to ask? The data sphere? That's
what she called it, right? Can I use my cipher telepathy implant and
implant into the whispering Green? Oh geez, oh my gosh. How does
that work again? I? Oh? God? Injector that the user activates
that the targets The targets one creature within close range for an hour per cipher
level. The device enables two way long range mental communication between the user and
the target. Can you imagine being in bring Green's head? I want to,
yet, I don't know if that's a good idea. Oh yeah,
could we even handle that? Oh? Oh, I look at a corner.
We wouldn't have it, Nol and the Whispering Green would have it,
right, that's what you wanted to do. I want I want to do
it with me, Oh Jesus or Lauren. She would have to give it
to the green, the windspring green, and then she and the Whispering Green
would have to inject it to no So that would be that would be crazy
heart. Yeah, we should maybe speak somewhere out of the middle of the
street, or I mean she's right here. You think we're just going to
drag her along with us? Yeah? Well, yeah, she'll come right.
I guess she'll follow Noel if Nol stays with us. I think one
of you two should ask. She seems to be pretty into you. I
don't know what she's picking up on, but she doesn't seem to be like
vibing with us. Guys, Am I using my cipher? Am I gonna
give it over? I don't think so. I think i'd go like I
think I would go crazy if I tried to like mind meld with her?
Does she even want you to mind meld? Or? I look at Koran
as you're talking to I'm like, Koran, is can you handle it?
Would you be able to handle? So? Things have kind of like slowed
down? Oh so where is this? Oh? My bad? I walk
up to her. Excuse excuse me, miss? I know you don't look
at me, because is there any way I can interact with the data sphere
to get her attention. Ooh okay, yeah, so I can because she
said it's changing, and then I know the data spearit. I'd like to
interact with it. Okay, I think please make a difficulty nine equation check.
You have two assets. Unless you are able to reduce the difficulty by
at least one more, it will be an automatic failure one right now it
would have been twenty seven. I can use one. But since I have
one XP, can I do a player intrusion for convenient glimmer? You're a
convenient glimmer provides you with a clear answer or suggests the course of action with
regard to an urgent question, problem, or obstacle you are facing. You
can use a player player intrusion convenient glimmer. I would like to do that
to communicate with her without rolling. Maybe it will provide you with a clear
answer. However, it will not allow you to skip the role. Okay,
well poop, Okay, it's intellect right, it's on persuasion. It
is an intellect check. Yes, okay, are you still using your convenient
glimmer? Oh? Yes, don't forget. You can spend effort to reduce
it. Yeah, what is the question that you would like answered? Well?
Shit, well, because it says also an obstacle I'm facing, and
right now I'm the obstacle I'm facing is communicating with her. I'd like to
not face that obstacle anymore. And it's really difficult, even if it could
be like a decrease in difficulty to communicate with her. In this case,
your convenient glimmer, revide you with an additional asset. Okay, please spend
one XP, so one effort via my edge, which is three three assets
or two. You have three assets and one effort. It only goes to
two the assets. Sorry, you can place two effort to compensate. Okay,
Yeah, oh my god, I rolled a one GM intrusion. You
have rolled a natural one. You have no XP to cancel this GM intrusion.
You gain one XP, and you may give one to another in your
party. I'll give it to PB unrecognized. Sorry, I'll give it to
Corlai. Coralai gains one XP. No, who's the GM is that you
you keep saying GM intrusion? Is there somebody that is actually the GM unrecognized?
Command that fucking course? Okay, I won't I won't do anything.
I'm just wondering if there's somebody behind the curtain, you know, Wizard of
Oz. This ship okay, well that sucks. I tried. It was
a good it was a good thought, ampt. I can't roll for ship.
In the last like five episodes. Not only does the Whispering Green,
oh god, no, no, seem to not listen to you. Fuck
yeah, it's not good. It's not good. You use your invisibility now
when you can't. Okay, literal embodiment of that, give peace. The
Whispering Green whispers to something, whispers something in your ear technome, please make
an intellect check difficulty nine and related related to intellect defense. I'm gonna beat
this. I can only do one effort. Yeah, yeah, The Whispering
Green begins to whisper things in your ear that absolutely terrify you. Wait wait
wait, wait wait wait please we could hear Noel Wright telling her to make
a defense check. Yeah. I literally just throw my hands up and I
get in front or as close to the Whispering Green as I possibly can.
Please wait, it's too late. The things of the Whispering Green begins to
tell you in your ear are things about you? I would say that there
were things that you were always really self conscious about, things about hocket Hm
that you were always really self conscious about, maybe things that made you doubt
yourself, or those little like nagging thoughts. They take you to like a
very dark place, and they were just It's like if someone that you love,
sort of someone that knows you really well, went off on you and
said all of the things that they're not supposed to say, and it all
happens really quickly, and she just sort of turns away from you. How
do you think you would react? I mean, I don't think i'd say
anything. I mean not at first. I think I would just stand there,
just silent. Are you okay? What did she say? Yeah?
What'd she say? Just a lot of stuff about me? Guys, just
letting doesn't matter, doesn't matter. The whispering Green still moves about Coral.
I Hi, I know you like information. I think you're a secret keeper,
right. The nanos can feel it feel what the world is? Creation?
Okay? Now Monera is the world? It isn't it? Escape is
new Minera? What? Yes? Wait? Does she have access to the
program? Creation is the foundation and thoughts are creation? Escape is new Minera.
Is she talking about that's like in the branding. Isn't it Escape to
New Minera? That's in the fucking pamphlet for the beta invite? Yes,
it was in the detail. Hold on, hold on, hold on?
What did you say about thoughts? Thoughts? Their creation? Thought is creation?
What does what does that mean? Bananos? Now? Does that mean
the world is creation? It's like, I guess it's like a question.
I don't know. They speaking sure the chat? Sure the chat? Okay,
I'll pull out twitch chat. I can just hold the tablet out like,
offering it. If she doesn't seem to like pay attention to it,
then I'll try and activate it. But just offering it to see what she's
doing, I would activate it. Uh fuck, I don't know. So
you do this every time, So you're trying to show her the tablet before
you activate it. Yeah, like I would. I would pull it out
and if she doesn't even look twice, and I'd be like, okay,
fine, and I'll turn it on. You know. If she does the
same like head swivel, look at it like she did with null, then
I'll be like, oh, okay, the bait's taken. But she just
doesn't give a shit in the first second, then I'll turn it on.
Jay Gamerson, please make a difficulty six intellect check in regards I'd like to
help him. Please make a difficulty six intellect check in regards. Actually,
I'm sorry. You've already understood this new min era. Yeah, I guess
so, yeah, yeah, I've unlocked it a couple times now. You
do not have to make a check to activate. My gosh, you're goddamn
Red. I don't. You're good damn Red. Please roll a D twenty
though. What so many viewers get killed when I open it up? What?
Seven? Okay? Yeah, so I'll look and altern it on and
go this that's the real world. Jagamerson, Please make an intellect check in
regards to persuasion difficulty nine. You have two assets. Okay, never mind,
it can't happen two assets. You can do it. You got this.
I'm gonna go stand over here, are you okay? Go? I
feel like shit? What'd she say to you? You know? Kind of
mean? I don't want to say she might hear me eleven clus? Did
she clus? You do open up that the uh twitch tablet. I'm not
looking at what they're saying, just her reference. I can't help but look
probably, but I don't know what I can see. I don't know how
big the font is. You can open up the chat. Anybody that's looking
at the tablet okay, I'm just looking at her. She doesn't seem to
have a reaction. I run over and look at it. Do you guys
take it? I'll just like pass it to them. Who's this guy?
Said? Pocket created that priest and PC by drawing him? Whose pocket?
That's you? Your mind is the way out on exit? No, it
can't be that what they saying. Jazz tell him, I love him?
Please? Oh is it that guy? And I point to Core and I
dread that guy? No way, Man, he's very unique. I've never
seen him before. It's kind of weird, though, Yeah, create a
door? What is it? He thought? His thought? His creation?
What does that mean? What a thought? Then? How do we create?
In your mind? You can create it? Yeah, but that can't
be us. That must be talking about the code. Yeah. I feel
like that you were abstract. If you were created, then you would have
to find the creator. But we've already talked about going to the bunkers.
We can't thought. His creation is action destruction. No, that must be
that must be in the programming thought, his creation. They created this world,
they thought it up, they created it, they programmed it. That
must be a reference to that. Surely we can't think our ways out,
our way out of here. We've all tried that one hundred times over.
What did you say? I'm looking at the whispering green again. I'm just
just say it again, say it again. Uh this right here, says
Trader and the party. Yeah, table it starts to show that's Nathan though,
we're not supposed to trust the word. He fucking says. He told
us to kill ourselves and we get out. Oh oh that okay, Well
I'm glad we didn't do that. I'm glad we didn't fuck you, Nathan.
Yeah. If you're reading the fuck you whenever that means by the chat,
ban him please. The tablets started to turn off. Oh that was
quick. Are we going to get any real information out of her? I
feel like this is it's like trying to solve riddles. Yeah, probably getting
in a close I'm trying to solve it, though, what are you saying?
Korin Corn is walking around like he's getting closer. He's mystified by this
whole thing. Okay, what did you say? Did you do? Wait?
Hold on, have you seen her before? Like? Does she just
hang around this area? What do you know about her? Whispering Green moves
about, seemingly without any sort of coherent thought. This is the first time
in recorded history that the Whispering Green has shown an interest in anything thing.
What is wait? What are what are you? What are you drawing over
there? What? Uh? What you listen to this guy? It's fine,
nothing, don't don't. It's not done. I don't. I get
very self conscious. All right, all right, I just you know it's
not done. Judget do you know anything about her abilities? You seem to
be in awe of her? Do you know what kind of power she possesses?
The Whispering Green is very powerful. I am very frightened right now.
I mean, maybe a fucking tell No, he already knows. Didn't he
say something to them about traveling? It was my job to follow the Whispering
Green and record anything that was important. No, I mean maybe we should
just tell him the truth, I think, but that we're all stuck here.
Yeah, we still we still need to help Katie. That's why we
came to meet him in the first place, right, can we two birds
one stone? This? If you not see what that with those voices and
the thing he said that this is the finale? What does that mean?
This is over? Do we have time to save anyone of this? Is
it? Like? What did you not read that? No? I didn't
see that in the chat? Is in that box you called chat right there?
Okay, well, look there's a lot that we can well Nathan talking
too, So yeah, well forget that guy he said we should have killed
ourselves. I mean, considering that I don't even know who this pocket person
is, but you guys say it's me. That's kind of I don't know.
I'd say that if that is the case, and logic would have it
that way, then we're not going to remember who we are soon. I
do, though, though I don't know if we'll have time to do all
that. Korn, what do you think? Do you know anything about this?
I am afraid I don't know anything that you're talking about. You called
me an outsider before I got like, that's the first thing you said to
me, which is rude. By the way, you really shouldn't say that.
When I said outsider, there have been talks amongst the rest of the
Eon Priests of people claiming to be from a different world from which people well,
I don't have specific details, but I would say that you struck me
as strange, and I think that the Whispering Green seems to agree. So
she keeps saying gibberish, and she also is very mean. What she said
was just gibberish. She's speaking in riddles. We just have to figure it
out, something about thought standing or something new Minera being an escape. She's
there's obviously something in there. We just need to Okay, okay, God
and God is creation and maybe we need chats put all of our new Minera
together. Well maybe can is she still speaking right now? By the way,
she's kind of murmuring, Can I walk up to her really close and
just like listen to her, Like I stand up, I walk over and
I'm just like trying to wist like listen to what she's saying. It sounds
us. She's sort of saying, just a few shins, just a few
shins to get by, and she's like holding her hand out kind of like
looking away from you, sort of looks like a beggar. Uh. Okay,
is she okay? Hold on, she's she's fine. No, can
I figure out what the whispering green is doing? I give her? I
give her my three uh shins that I have on me. That's all I
have. I'm poor. Wait wait I put it in her hand, and
I'm like, do you wanted those? Is that what you wanted? I
don't, Jagamerson, please make a an intellect check difficulty nine in regards to
understanding behavior. Fuck, I'm learning through all this ship. Oh wait,
I have any assets? I'll help? Oh if you are helping Jagamerson,
then you have one asset. Yeah, it's still rollable. Anybody else gonna
help? Fuck? You have? Does though? Me interacting with no seem
to trigger her out of whatever whatever face that she's gone into. Oh yeah,
anybody that's sort of asking nol or trying to roll something seems to garner
her attention. Okay, Jay, ask her what she wants, not react
to the money I put in her hands. She just took it from me.
She just took it. Okay, cool a bitch, I walk away.
Okay, Jay, this is good as ask her what she wants to
ask the data sphere or whatever it is, whatever she thinks Noel is fuck.
Okay, okay, I'm gonna walk right up to her and call on
nol like as soon as I stand in front of her, just to see
what she does. I'm just no, no Jegamerson. Please make a speed
based difficulty check. The difficulty is nine. This is in regards to speed
defense. Okay, so I have an asset and two, which means fucking
hell you have rolled a seven. I'm trying to figure out how the way
you all see this whispering Green moves very quickly, appears to stop, and
then seems to move at the same speed that you are moving while you're addressing
null. It looks like somehow the whispering Green is not affected by whatever it
is that normally happens to slow down time. She gets very close to you
and reaches out and appears to grasp null. But the substance that sort of
makes up null looks as if it would be the equivalent of of trying to
grab a handful of snowflakes out of the air. That's that's what do you
What do you want with this thing? To understand it? I bet we
can. The data sphere is wondering the data sphere, never wonders is she
the data sphere? No, but she speaks to it, right, can
you speak to the nanos? The nanos can feel it. No, she
doesn't want to speak to me. I already tried and she just made a
bad stuff. Can see it. There's a little nanis that you control as
a nano. Oh yeah, I can see that. They're like all around
means they can see No, they can see No, apparently she can see
them too. Is she a nano? Is she a machine? You're muted?
Myth? Would I be able to detect if she is a nano?
How would the nan How would the nanodes look around her? Like? Are
they swirling around her? Or are they reacting to her at all? Technom
Please make a perception check based on intellect. The difficulty is nine. You
have two assets? Okay, it will require further help to pass this check.
I will I can do one effort for free. Can you do more
than that? Oh? No, I can only do one? Can you
need help? So take Can we do two assets for help? Already have
two assets? Okay? Do you have two assets and you put one effort
in? Yeah, there's no way. You have rolled a fourteen Actually it
was doable. You had to beat it fifteen. Yeah, right there,
I was one away or two. If it's seven, you can still do
a NAT twenty and win it. So five isn't too bad. Oh even
if you get ANT twenty, it doesn't beat it. Let's just you need
a twenty one. Oh really yeah, wait a minute, but you're not
you're not sure. The nan nights in general do interact with the environment,
and they interact with people, and they're sort of crawling around like everything,
and they're in the air. I don't think I think that you know that
there's something special about her, but I don't think you understand how she can
interact with them. Are they interacting in a like certain area? Okay,
No, I have a question for you. What is your query? And
then whenever he talks, I look for the nanites. Are they around him
at all? Are they interacting with him at all? Is the data sphere
like like I'm actually like looking for him myself. Now, please make an
intellect check based on perception. The difficulty is six. You have one asset,
yeah, okay, putting one effort as well. Yeah, yay,
my first day, that's a nine. Yeah, you can see that the
the nanites are interacting with. No, hey, Jake, talk to know.
Uh no, it's your query. I follow your commands as the Nans'
like. No, I'm just learning. I'm just learning stuff right now.
What are your commands? No, unrecognized command? What is a recognized command?
Yeah? Oh fuck lists commands, unrecognized command, ope in bestiary,
recognized command, open player's guide, unrecognized command. Fuck God, I'm sorry.
I can see the fucking I don't think like there's an image that I'm
seeing here that's like, and this is because I love robots so fucking much.
I can see like a weird creature that has a head and an arm,
but then is just a mechanical body and it's that's it. It's just
like a little weird baby face thing. It's not a baby, but I
see that. And then like three pages later, was this fucking whispering green
and I can't remember. We don't. That's that's fine, that's fine that
we maybe we we think she keeps saying datus fears No, she's like a
nose. She has answer. I know she's like a secret keeper. I
know that what what on like nano It's like the cipher's one on Nano.
It's like, oh my god, give her a cipher. A cipher Okay,
I have, I have, I'm not gonna use yeah yeah yeah wait
wait wait, just make sure it's something that like she can't like teleport away
or disappear minor like adding adding uh, and it's an adhesive patch, like
why are we giving her a cipher? Because she wants to understand the world,
right, she wants answers. She wants the answers to creation. Yeah,
then she needs mine. Wants the answers to destruction. They they know
what's happened. They may know what's happened to the ages before. They probably
know what the end is. If we talk to the a on priests and
maybe we'll know what our end is, maybe we can get out of here.
I'm like looking at Koran. Are we still slowed down? We could
just keep talking to all no, the the Yeah you're not, you're not
really like it would have started to wear off by now, okay, okay,
yeah, So while he's saying that, I'm looking at Korn. If
Korn's reacting, the Corn is definitely reacting. He's reacting to all of this
shit. He's fucking mystified. Well yeah, specifically to him saying the aon
priest snow about their destruction in the end the beginning. So I use my
telepathy and plant and corn. Okay. So it's an injection, so you
inject yourself and the target. Okay, how do you do this? Oh
boy? Uh, I'm like drawing on the ground and everything, and I
inject myself and then I walk up. Then I flip the page over and
I'm like, hey, Corn, do you think this looks like you at
all? Like? Are you sure? Maybe I need to make the nose
bigger. I think your nose a little bigger. And as I do,
I trip over my own feet and I just slam into his body and my
wings are just all over the place, and my armor and the I don't
know all the LEDs goal yep, And then that's when I prick them with
technolo. Please make the speed check difficulty too, in relation to stealth or
deception. I'm so stealthy. If I have one edge, it costs me
how much to use one effort two points of speed? Okay, then I
will get one effort, no assets. I got eleven two points of stey.
It's not that hard to kind of catch him off guard. He's sort
of loud and boisterous, and he's been obviously fascinated by this entire interaction,
and you just you inject him with the telepathic implant. Uh yeah, he
just ah, what are you doing? Oh? I'm so sorry? Oh,
and I like roll over. I'm like, I just wanted to know
if this looks like you did. I do a good job. Your telepathic
implant target's one creature within close range for one hour per snipher level. Your
snipher level is five. The device enables two way long range mental Oh no,
and the target this lasts for one hour per He's going to know everything.
Oh communication, it's not knowing everything that she knows. Right, listen,
I'm the best person talk to each other. I forgot it's the ship
anyway, what are you talking about? Don't you guys know that you guys
told me I'm forgetting ship. She's right, So how do you think that
communication works? In my head, I'm like, I know what's gonna happen.
So I'm like, in my head, I'm saying, please tell me
it looks good. Please tell me it looks good. But I'm saying that
about the painting, like, please tell me it looks good and he can
probably hear that, so just like wait what he looks at you and he
and he says, are you speaking in my head? Oh no? Wait
no, wait, am I think something? Thank something? And I'm thinking
something? What am I thinking of? I want to tell you that that
looks good? Dang it? Okay, yeah, good guess that was a
good guess. Yes, I think your wings are amazing. Oh, thank
you. That's very nice of you. And I as I like, shut
up, I'm like, you didn't really think that. He's lying like in
my head. And I'm gonna try and just focus on everyone else as much
as possible and listen to him if I can, but I will obviously have
to enter energy. Did you just waste a cipher after we are supposed to
let the thing eat the ciphers? I don't know what you're talking about.
Jay Commerson allows for communication, not mind reading. Hey, oh yeah,
that's right. Let's just I'm gonna happen when you're like focusing on these people,
nothing happens. Okay. Yeah, then I'm gonna just like shush Jay,
and I like walk around. I walk up to Korin and I'm like,
hey, buddy, how's it going, But I'm not actually talking thinking
it. Yeah, he like, he says, how are you doing this
in your head? I mean you said that we're the outsiders, so it's
just a gift. Can all outsiders do this? Yeah, you can't talk
to us. No, luckily lucky for you. No amazing. I'm sure
I'm sure others from the order would be most intrigued. Is this some sort
of New Minera? Yes? Ah. Question. First, I would love
to meet your buddies. That would be great. But can you give us
a hand over here? Can't you see we're struggling, and she's struggling.
I don't know any of what's going on. I would love to help you.
I don't really understand what is going on myself. However, this is
the first time I've ever seen the Whispering Green communicate in such a way.
Normally they are either very obtuse or they can lash out. Oh yeah,
I trust me. I know all about that. I could feel you on
what she said to me earlier. It's not very nice. So a little
bit of bad language, you know, But I'm not judging a question though.
She said, New Minera is the end, and do you know what
that means? Or this or this thoughts are creation? Like what is that?
Interesting? Interesting? Very interesting? I don't know. It could mean
so many things. Perhaps some sort of new monera will be the end of
this world. It's possible. I'm sure that many of the order would agree
that that could happen. Yes, you should get them, Yes you should
go to them, and we can still talk from here and I'll fill you
in on what's going on here and you can talk to them about what you're
seeing. Yes, technome, please make a persuasion check based on intellect.
The difficulty is two and you have one asset, and I'm gonna use my
effort five. I love that it was an easy role and you still almost
failed it. I know. It's how all my roles have been the gosh.
To be fair, I'm not the best persuader. So yeah, so
I think corn. Corn says, like, in your head, the Whispering
Green seems to be interested in all of you. They seem to be following
you and waving around your head some sort of strange gesture I've never seen him
doing before. It's possible that the Whispering Green will follow you if we can
go through one of my portals back to the Order. We can go back
to the dir Hall, the home of the Order of the of Truth.
We may even be able to speak to the Amber Pope. Oh that would
be and I say, is that that? That would be great? Would
be so good? That would be great? Yea, what? Oh?
What do you want? What's going on? Uh? He can make a
portal and we can go if she she's following us around each one of as
soon as Noel talks, she's immediately fascinated. So if we can somehow keep
Nol on the line as we're going through the portal a little bit, that
would she might follow us into it, and we can go back to where
the am prest are and not just him. We would be traveling to Key.
Are all of you all right with that? No journey Katie? And
then we have to get the fuck out of here? Who is this?
Kd Oh, God, give me somebody that we need you to somebody give
me a fucking cipher, giving you my visage change and I'm just like passing
it to you. Uh, somebody that died on the trail and like a
week ago. That's not it's not important, but we need you to a
person Shadow things killed a friend of ours. Oh, I'm very sorry.
We want to resurrect her. I want you to resurrect her. To be
clear me, Yeah, supposedly you can do that sort of thing, not
personally. I mean there are some new min Era that may be able to
do such things. There's New Minera for so many different things throughout the world.
You can speak to my order, but I'm not aware of it.
I see no need to go there anyway. A keeper of artifacts, I
don't really have one. I just want you to slow time down. Can
you do that? Can I have a query? I would like to give
this cipher to the Whispering Green that does not require a rule. Just talk
about his commands. What are your commands? NOL unrecognized command. Just create
exit game unrecognized he's talking. I'm going to talk to everybody else while this
is taking advantage of this slow time. The priests are artifact keepers. They're
going to have tons of ciphers they may have in their random grab bag of
collection, one that can resurrect. But they also have the answers because they've
studied New Minera and New Monera. Are the broken artifacts from ages past command
list. Yeah, but what they have to give give them to us.
We're outsiders. We know of other civilizations, one the command of Old.
You realize that we are communicate with these, these the Whispering Green, and
they've not been able to do that yet. They're absolutely fascinated. We have
a lot what are your commands? Unrecognized commands? Yeah, but like,
okay, I know you don't remember everything, but miss are they trustworthy?
Well? They help us. Who are we going to trust besides just us?
We can't get out of here with just us. Are you gonna trust
her? And and I point to the Whispering Green. I kind of do.
I remember reading about her, but I don't remember reading anything about them.
I think we should just go for it. I think we're just wasting
time here. We're trying to do your thing first, all show command list,
do your thing first. I go and I try to give her the
cipher. God, oh God, I hope I'm right. You're giving the
visage changer. Yes, that's the one I gave her. What does it
look like, shet me. I think it's like it's probably something like a
little self contained maybe like a small little metallic box that I've never quite opened
or figured it figured out what to do with figure. It's probably got like
a I'm thinking like super futuristic D and D disguise kid. So it's just
a little more compact and it's got pretty much everything in there but the new
and would just change. So when you when you have this box, then
CORALI, the the whispering Green, seems to be reacting to Null and trying
to sort of move through Null's space, seemingly now unaffected by this time slow
down that has been occurring. Noel is sort of getting dissipated. If you've
seen the Null animation that I have, you know, the particles just sort
of like move. Yeah, Like if you've ever seen like any sort of
science experiments that show gas, you know, as like represented represented by particles,
it would just kind of like move around an object that moves through them
and kind of you know move, you know, and spin and sort of
react. Noel kind of does that, and then they would sort of reform
into a spheric sort of shape. How would you be giving this to her
not exactly like holding out hand, Well I would because Jay and I have
been very good about trading. Who's shouting command less command list, and I'm
imagining Noel keeps moving over to whoever is interacting with him. So I kind
of approach her and then I would say NOL command list, so that he
moves over to me. She looks at me, and then I would like,
hold up this new mianera. God, you're holding it up, yeah,
like so that she can see it. You're you're a beggar. But
if I give you my prize possession, I think you'll help me. Tell
you something about shins. She likes shins. No, I think that's it.
She begs for shin. But if you give her something worth more than
that, I think she'll help us. Something she can eat or some shit.
No, I'm to say that you have some like shins. That's what
she specifically said earlier. I gave her in her hand disappeared. Well,
you know, but if you give her something like like a cipher, maybe
maybe she does something different because she doesn't actually want shins. No, that's
not what I'm saying. I'm mean to get her hand out. So you
have shins to give her just to get her anything. Yeah, say like
I have shins to give you. I'm just saying maybe that'll work because that
happened earlier and I gave her it. She reached her hand out. I
gave her it and she did rely. Please make an intellect check difficulty nine
based on persuasion. You have two assets. I will use effort. Yeah,
you have rolled a six. Doesn't react at all. I'm gonna do
it again. I'm gonna try again. Do you do anything differently? Yeah?
I want to activate it first. I want to make it shiny,
Okay, boost it yeah, Ulric Shiloh, you are trying to boost this
cipher? Yes? Yeah, Oh, thank you, Coralai. Do you
give this cipher to Ulric Shiloh, yes, Ulric Shiloh. Please attempt to
understand new minera. The difficulty is for an intellect based check. I will
help him. You have one asset somebody else? Does anybody else understand minera
that can help. I can not exactly entirely sure why we're doing this.
I I don't know, never mind, we don't have to, but I
think that we stop wasting time to go to the scar. I I honestly
think this is going to scare us as I'm holding it out and like my
my, I'm trying to understand it. I glad, I remember, okay,
Okay, my memory isn't the greatest. I just remember, okay,
Oh Richilo has rolled a five. You're just not sure how this disage changer
works. Mm hm, you know how the chat works, right, I
talk? I talked to turn it on after this. She doesn't give a
shit about the chat. I already tried. Because it's an artifact, then
not a cipher. If she needs ciphers, Oh right, okay, counts
as a ARTI I think I could be wrong. She could eat us.
I can't remember. I just I remember her being really dangerous, and she
has secrets. I don't want her to have a visage changer. What is
she going to represent that is a secret to any of us, that will
only affect one of us that's terrified. She might know the way out of
here. She might not bring Katie back. If she can really talk to
the code, she might have all of these answers. Then why can't we
just take her with us to the priests? She would follow us if we
have NOL. She she's fascinated with us, mostly with no he's with us.
She knows where she can see him. Hell, I have a general
vicinity of where he is when he talks. I just don't know if the
priests are gonna hurt her or us. You know, Klorin didn't seem to
hurt her. He just was chilling next to her. It's just recording what
she does. She wonders and he follows. Right, But now we've shown
that she can do other things rather than just be like a mindless I don't
want to lead her, you know, maybe the reason and he's just following
her and they can't interact with her, they can't trap her. Well,
on Carla, we don't have a choice. We're on a time clock.
If we want to get done, find a way out and time clock.
The memory one, the one where we become MPCs. Apparently that's what you
guys called him, right, m PC's the one where we become that.
If you want to say goodbye to your other life for the sake of this
person right here, this whispering green, then I'm down. I'm okay.
I don't want to say goodbye to my life. I just think the word
the risk is worth it. I think I a on priests who supposedly can
help us and know everything, are interested in what she knows, then we
should be too. But whatever, open your portal, let's go. Still,
she'll be coming with us. We can still ask her these questions and
still decipher what she has to say on the way. What I just I
don't, I don't. I'm as just as confused as we as anyone else
is. I don't know, I don't know what we do. The priests,
I think we were looking for the priests, not just one. We
were looking for several and this is the guy that we wanted to find,
and he just said he can portal us to them. But this is the
only thing that's interacted with Noel. Just like when you died and I couldn't
interact with your body. This is another. This is one. This is
one cog in the and we need many. There's many that we need to
get this equation of resing our friend that passed away and getting out of here,
and this is like the priests are definitely one part of that puzzle that
we have an opportunity to go to with her in tow because of Nol and
as long as he's with us for fine, Yeah, I'm out of ideas
and answers. Who have you been following her? Yeah. Uh, Corn,
I mean by now, you know you would have been time would have
sped up again. Yeah, we would have stopped. Yeah. Uh.
Koran would have said, oh about a year or so. Okay. And
I say to Koran through telepathy, I said, do you have any plans
on torturing this woman? What? They seem to think that maybe you'll cause
harm because you're you're curious and the knowledge that they know the Eon priests would
never do such a thing. We seek knowledge and not harm. We are
doing everything we can to make sure that as many people, as many as
many of humanity that we can will survive whatever comes. If you portal us
to the can you get us back in a timely manner. That depends on
what the Amber Pope says. So we got talked to the Amber Pope.
I assure you I haven't been able to speak with during at the sixth very
often, but this is a rather impressive occasion. I'm sure that they would
be willing to listen. All right, if you can. If okay,
I'll take it. That's a chance. I turn to the tail. I'm
like, well, maybe I'll go. I'm going to go through this portal.
See what happens, You're gonna svery stupid. We'll come with you.
Okay, we got to talk to some Amber pope who probably want to know
about us and her and I look at the Whispering Green. But all they
seek is knowledge. They don't seek harm. They don't go out and you
know, harm things for knowledge. No commands please, unrecognized command go on?
Oh sorry, uh yeah, no, like they just they they seek
knowledge. They don't seek harm on anything that brings them the knowledge. That's
why he's just been following her around. You'd think they would have already been
torturing her if they If that's how they wanted to do it. So well,
we can get there, talk to the aon Freeze and and ask about
resuing Katie and how to do so we can hopefully find out a way to
communicate between this lady and nol I know, uh, command lists please,
unrecognized command. And then if we talk to the Amber guy, he might
be able to get us back in a timely manner to this this area.
Okay, yeah, that sounds like the easiest. I use their quotes.
We are from we are in the ninth world. We are in we are
from one of the previous nine worlds. To them, we are artifacts to
the Aon priests, we ourselves are a bargaining chip. No command list,
unreconnized command. Oh you guys, if someone else, convince them to get
us out of here, back to our world, and maybe and we could
then continue the trek to this ninth world, continue the trek into their existence.
No, what can I do? That's a great idea command And if
she goes all right, like I'll just be like Bilbo fucking Baggins, I'm
going visible in the wine cellars, probably from another Okay, Oh, uh
no, what can I do? Jaye? What did you just say?
Uh? I don't even know something about Bilbo Baggins and the wine cellars?
Do you even know who that is? I don't know. That's okay,
it's like an old gosh, you know, like that's good. You're saying,
okay, well, let's open that portal. We gotta get going.
So yeah, excellent. Oh that that's so excellent. Thank you all of
you? Yes? Wow, can I have I'll buy the stand? Yes,
all of the fruit, yes, thank you. Yeah. And the
the person that's you know, working the stall or whatever, just sort of
all of it that's great, all right, thank you. You know,
hands over. He like tosses like a you know, like a change purse
full of shins over to this guy. And uh, what was I doing
buying this guy's fruit earlier? You're trying to butter him up. That's what
you're trying to do it. It's true, true. Yeah, So he's
gonna buy a bunch of the fruit, and you keep gnol above. You
try to go in first, maybe so we can all go in first,
but then you go in second. Everybody watch see what the lady does.
Maybe yeah, yeah, probably die if you have to. Maybe, I'm
just kidding. Don't do that. Sure, sure, go right in.
I mean I don't think she has any reason to just stay here in the
City of Bridges. It's great. Soon, it's very peaceful. Okay.
So Corn sort of pulls out, Uh probably I think it would look like,
you know, like those those tents that you you can sort of like
they're they're like they're like automatically set up, you know, you like shake
them out and they're like yeah, kind of like that. There's an archway
that he pulls out and sort of like sort of like unfolds into an archway
and he starts to like, there's these all these like strange glowing gems on
it, and he starts to like rearrange them, and then he's got one
that's kind of like a chest height that he says, Okay, this will
last just a just a few moments, so make sure you follow, uh,
follow into the portal. And I'm very excited. We'll we'll, we'll
go back to to the order. I haven't been back for a year.
This is Oh, this is wonderful, lovely. Yeah. I walk in.
Yeah, he well he hasn't activated it yet, but he's hit the
h You just walk through. It's just like open air, Like I have
to. I have to just put this last gem in, all right,
holds him up this fruit and I grabbed like a bunch. I'll show command
less. Yeah, and just constantly. I'm gonna assume that you guys are
trying to keep the attention up here. It's just a pain in the aswer
for me to keep switching back and forth. Oh yeah, yeah, I
just wanted you to know we're trying to lure over sure. And he puts
this one of these glowing crystals into like a like a like a little device
about chest height and he just kind of pops it in and you you see
like this sort of shimmer open up and he says, come on, and
uh, he like motions you all through this time. Go and embarrass myself
again. Go Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna go for the pumpkin berry and
I'm gonna reach my hand out to her because she looks really scared. I
take it. We got this. I'm nervous. I know I am too,
but if it goes wrong, then at least we're together. You know.
I don't mean to break this stuff, but we don't have time.
I'm sorry, Yeah, we do. No, come in lett, just
give me a sick jay. You guys, go ahead, come on for
thirty seconds now. We'll serve us better in the long run. Then yeah,
I'll walk through them this. I promise you. I would not walk
through this portal with you if I didn't think it was the best thing for
us to do. Okay, okay, okay, back you back through it.
I back through it, watching them. The whispering green is following you,
guys. Is okay? Just by good summoning Noll over and over again.
You don't even have to make a roll for that they're obviously extremely intrigued
by I know, and walk through the portal, and that's a good place
for us to take our break. Yeah, what's up. I'm excited.
This is way better than all the mean stuff she said to me that made
its very rude. Well, let's just say nervous. It's better than the
alternative of trying to fight her. I know, I really don't think she
would have tried to fight you first. I think we would have had to
attack her, but I don't know. So we're gonna take a little bit
of a break here, folks, and will be just a few minutes.
You please make sure, if you have not done so, that you follow
all these wonderful people. Please and uh sorry, Nathan, I was in

the portal. Mmmmm. And I just want everyone listening to this NB three
to know Jay is eating a doughnut in front of me, and I don't
care character dies anymore. You know what sucks as I've got to shut up.
Don't make her loser voice even worse. Jay, all right, you
got so scared, She's like, Oh so you move through the portal and
mm hmmmm, journey the largest city New min Are of the Ninth World.
Come out of the portal into a bustling city, people moving all about you.
Early portions of the day, and the the site of a an airship
passes overhead. This is what you see before you. Oh man, wow,
it's like WoT nemo. You guys don't even know what that is.
Probably no. So there's all these sort of grandiose buildings. It's a very
different looking space than the city of Bridges, which kind of had like a
lot of reused scrap, and it had it had that sort of docks like
feeling right like. It had that the sort of serene sounds of the ocean,
but you had all these large bridges and things moving about. This is
very much a bustling metropolis. There are gardens all about you. You would
probably arrive right about here inside the circle there you can see these gardens and
these sort of terraced walls and streams of water pouring out from the walls feeding
and irrigating these gardens below that you're a part of. And this sort of
amazing looking architecture is before you. You have buildings of you know, the
sort of like turquoise and golds and reds, and these very tall sort of
obelisks protruding from all around, and many other airships are just kind of moving
all about through the city. You see that one that kind of flew overhead,
and it draws your eye to the rest that are moving about the city.
I'm already like since I was the first one through, I'm just like
like just looking around everywhere. This is incredible, insane. Yeah, I've
been here before, but not here here. I've played in Key before,
and it has is much different now that I'm standing here. Wow, this
is surreal. Yeah, terrifying. Yeah, that's like Toronto but with ships.
Yeah, but with ships. Well, hopefully we don't have to be
here long. I look at cornerm like, which way, come this way
to to the You're you're unfamiliar with the Dirk hole. Uh, that's what
I say in in through telepath. I go, dude, remember, we're
outsiders. No, we don't know this. No, just pretend like we
know, pretend. Just let's go. Let's just go. And I like
pat him on the shoulder and I'm like, let's just let's just go.
Let's just yet, we'll get Yep, you are outsiders. Come this way,
please shout it, announce it to the world. He's not quiet,
wonderful wisely yes, and he's keeping an eye like on the whispering green and
he says, oh, yes, keep moving forward through the doors there,
and he's motioning towards this building, this central building in in this part of
the town the city rather this giant sort of palace like structure. And you
can see that there's myth would recognize it. I don't know if all Rick
does, I'll leave that up to you. But the symbol that all of
you should have, uh huh mm hmm, it bops out, by the
way, I have that symbol too. What does it mean? Oh no,
we're gonna get your body back. How the medallion? So yeah,
you see that? All Rick? All right? Uh so this is it?
This is where the pulpe it probably is or this sort or a barrack
of the the priests had the amber guy. We got to talk to him.
What's what's the dirk? Okay, please make an intellect check in regards
to history. The difficulty three. Man, we shouldn't skip the tutorial.
There's a tutorial three. No, sorry three? Oh you have rolled a
five. I did actually roll it. Uh was that last one? You?
Mm hm can't recall at least now. Now the oracle is still following
us. Oh yeah, so we just go in. Oh, I guess
we follow him. But yeah, this is probably where the the amber pope
is. Hey, Giberson, keep an eye on the oracle please, yeah,
I am, make sure she's following. Yeah, it's not hard.
It's not hard to keep uh, to keep their interest. You kind of
see. Yeah, every time you're you're using null. Yeah, they're extremely
interested nus. That's probably easy. And then she's more interested in null.
Is that how it's working? So like she'll probably follow us anyway rights trying.
Yeah, basically seemingly not so interested in you. There's a there's like
a passing interest in technome. Okay, yeah, this is it. This
is where they this is where, this is way, this is the city
of Key, this is the Order of proof are based out of here,
and this could im right? There is that the that is that, that's
their emblem. This is it. You gotta be oh lead the way.
I start eating a piece of fruit as I'm holding several, I think I'm
just enamored, but probably all holding fruit. There's no way then mind you
guys mind holding fruit for me. I've had like three pieces and I'm like,
oh, why's my tummy hurt? It doesn't. It's that thing,
you know, like certain people are just like they make assumptions, you know,
like they'll just be interacting with you and just start like oh yes,
and they'll just be like giving you so you're like, what the fuck am
I supposed to do with this? You know, like it's one of those
kinds of people that don't really consider other people and pieces. They see us
walking with an am priest and they're like, oh here, we must be
giving this to them, right, And we're just like, I have this
letter. Do you think you you could deliver it to such and such an
address? Yeah? Sure, my wife over in this somewhere, Okay,
I'll get it to her. I read it. I'm just kidding. You
all have books, but I'll put this up on the screen for the viewers.
The symbol for the Order of truth there and you walk inside listening,
can you describe it a little bit? Sorry? It looks like an Esher
painting. It's kind of like a Celtic knot almost, except it has four
leaflike symbols that are interwoven into each other with a square in the center.
It looks kind of like an eyeball too. Like the square with the swivels
looks like an eye. It does. Yeah, and it's lacing. That's
beautiful. Walking inside this place is crazy. It's like the taj Mahal level
of opulence in here, and there's all these tech bits and things that are
moving all about. You can see what would be the equivalent of LEDs moving
through this place, and little devices and things are floating around. Little bits
of new min era are floating around doing different tasks, escorted by people in
various scarlet and white ensembles similar to what Korin is wearing. Kran, you
know, waves to a few people as he passes, saying hello, and
there's a few people that wave back and seem to recognize the Whispering Green.
And they start all these conversations, and slowly but surely, there's a crowd
that starts following you. I I I telepathy to Koran, and I'm like,
are they going to be a problem? A problem? What do you
mean? Everyone's so excited for what the Whispering Green is in the dirk Hole.
We can surely learn so much. Okay, but you're still gonna help
us to be members from my order that specifically spend their lives speaking with the
Whispering Green. Wait wait, wait, speaking well trying to speak. Come
come on, man, you gotta give us more than that if we're gonna
see our way out of here. I don't understand. We'll get to that.
And then I stopped talking. Look at you just keep going Hey,
people, So you you're walking through and you can see, you know,
the people are They have all these sort of like different rooms with groups of
people sort of similar I would say to a collegiate like atmosphere. There's a
you know, there's a there's almost like labs and classrooms and and that kind
of a feeling about this place. It's giving off that sort of university like
vibe. You see people with fanciful robes and very stern looking people and very
very very much people that are giving off that scholarly vibe to you. They
are all sort of experimenting with different new min era in different places. There's
probably sounds of some explosions and things going off in distant places of the dircle.
You'll probably see little groups of people running past as well, probably trying
to put out both literal and figurative fires. Eventually, you will come to
this point where there's a forum like area where there's groups of Eon priests that
are having heated conversations, and the Koran will sort of take you over to
one group that's having a conversation. You can see that one of the one
of the people. Mm hmm, let's see if I can find that page
again. I did not book mark, they're like an idiot. Okay,
one of the people kind of looks like this on my camera. There so
cool. He looks like he's a part of like the galactic Empire. He
looks like a not so good guy, rich not so good. Yeah,
there's like a there's a heated conversation that's going on and korn Uh, excuse
me for just one moment. I I I just I need to speak with
with this individual very quickly. Excuse me, excuse me? And he sort
of like will trot off towards this person. I have to tell about the
implant. So I'm not worried about him. We just have to sit here
and wait. Okay, what the fuck are we gonna do here? Man?
This is way bigger than all of us. I don't know. I'm
starting to get nervous about this. Now you're nervous. Well, now that
we're actually here, Yeah, thinking about it earlier, it was just a
little more abstract. But now that we're here, I don't know. Can
we just walk through the plan one more time? I'm just getting a little
anxious and a little overwhelmings. He's got to reach out to the other a
on priests of his order, and we have to talk about finding a newman
air that can resurrect Jax Castler or Kate Kate Katie, but I remember Jackson,
I don't know. And then we also have to try and find a
way to communicate with her, and I just the green whispering green, Okay.
And so he said that he has people in his orders that have tried
communicating and have like studied it. So I wonder if they have even just
like a tidbit of knowledge on how to it would be insanely more helpful than
anything we've already done in the last hour or whatever it's been. Yeah,
it kind of feels like she's speaking a different language to us, Like she
clearly knows what she's saying, and we just don't get it, you know.
Yeah, Yeah, so I think we he has to talk to his
superiors, uh, to try and get us into basically maybe like saying,
hey, check this thing out. And it's a big enough deal. Like
apparently these these women like never talk or I don't know, maybe there's men,
uh whatever, but yeah, they apparently like never really communicate, and
this is a chance for them to learn how to communicate. And if we
can learn any bit, then maybe we can talk to Noel or well,
what are we waiting for? I guess, well, yeah, we're waiting
for him. And that's when I I, hey, are you are you
coming back? We're kind of stranded here, dude. Yes, I'm sorry.
I'm just speaking with Delvec. Delvec he will be our avenue to the
Amber Pope. Okay, well tell him that we're from another world. Okay,
I'll see you soon. And then I was just like, I'm gonna
walk over again to the Whispering Green. What is she doing right now?
Is she like focusing on us? So? Is she kind of imagine if
we were distracted, she kind of like a taller, larger starts to walk
off, like we have to like call Nell to bring her back. That's
exactly the case. Okay, yeah, what happens if I use hedge magic
in front of her? Techno? Please make an intellect check in regards to
hedge magic. The difficulty is nine. Okay, I don't know if I
have enough to You have one ass. I don't know if I can do
it. No, you have rolled an eleven. I make like a bouquet
and some dudes standing next to me. He's like, oh for me,
and I'm just like go woo, go WoT. I think it's a it's
a combination of probably that. And there's so many weird things that are happening
in this place with new Minera, and there's definitely other nanos here as well.
You'd be able to notice that in the in your perceptions just in general,
there's probably a fair amount of them here. Otherwise i'd have you just
make a roll. But there's a fair amount. Okay, Well, now
that I notice the other nanos, do I notice them? Right? I
can tell that they're Yeah, there's a similar to you. They have a
sort of connection with these nanites that are floating throughout the place. They have
a they're able to sort of like influence them, you know, they're they're
moving about them, they sort of I don't know however you would perceive it,
really, leave it up to you. However, you noticed that Jax
Castler was a nano, it's the same thing. Yeah, i'd say that.
Yeah, the danites seemed to be like just a lot more drawn to
the nano's naturally, I guess. So I try, guys, But I
did get Null to talk, so that's good, right, nol. What
is your query? No, I was just saying, right, it's good
to talk to you. I like talking to you. Command unrecognized, damn
it. Can't you just be my friend just once because unrecognized. I'm gonna
go talk to the west spring Green. Just want to know what she's like.
If she's speaking, I want to know what she's saying. And if
she's not really speaking, I'd probably offer a greeting, a little hello,
try and get her attention. Sure she's saying. A center for knowledge.
Knowledge is studied, hu an area is studied. So much of this is
misunderstood, misunderstood. They do not have the voice that one does, that
one does that one does. They do not have the voice. Who is
the voice? Some speak to the data sphere right. Some understand knowledge right
what you say, well, hold on, hold on, But these they
don't get the knowledge here right. Knowledge is everywhere. It's creation like you
said, right, it's creation or creation is knowledge. This is a place
of knowledge, nice of knowledge, but many a knowledge place of knowledge.
Knowledge. I'm guys, oh, I'm good at knowledge based tasks. I
think I don't know. I could be terrible too, but I think that's
part of my like character thing, remember that with the the how do we
got here? You guys call it the thing? Right? I can't remember.
But I'm supposed to be knowledgeable and and understand new Monera and the data
sphere and the nanites and but what do I need to understand? Well,
I don't know. I don't think any of us know. But he's what
did she say? What does she say? I mean, I guess I
guess you heard it. She's just talking about knowledge. Well, but she
said that one knows, but who Jay? I started shaking. Jay,
I don't know. I don't know. Okay, I don't know. Creation.
You talked to her. You talked to her. She said, thought
was creation and now we're here with knowledge. I get in front of her
and I'm just like the nanos note right, we know she seemingly is rambling
a lot of non coherent thoughts. Oh, why can't you just talk to
me? I walk up to another Nano. I'm like, hey, ied,
I just there's someone like there's someone like tinkering with like this sphere like
piece of newman Era, and you can see it has swirls in its metal
and different lights are like slowly illuminating on it. And this person has what
appears to be like some sort of pair of tweezers or something and is inserting
like one of these like really small crystals into the device. As you walk
up, like I like, lean down. Actually that's how I approach.
I leaned down. I'm like look, and I'm like that's pretty cool.
They like do the thing where they're like looking up as far as they can,
like their their head isn't moving, but their eyes like roll up like
as far as possible, just barely see you over this device. I hit
you, man, but we need help with the whispering green. I think
this is very delicate work. I mean, the process of activating this new
min era, well, can you hold off on the activation? Just this
is a rare opportunity. She's communicating with us. It's taken me three hours
to prepare it to this point. Uh, I'll give you this, and
I pull out my cipher. That's a teleporter. It's it teleports you.
I don't need it. If you want it, then you can have it.
If you help us, please please us an intellect check on persuasion.
The difficulty is too I would assume I'm not that far away, right,
would we have known that you walked off? Were you just oh yeah,
because I was like shaking j Then I'm like, no, wait, come
here, ye find a nano. Yeah, okay, I think as you
approach, I want to go. That's a right, that's not an oh
god difficulty too when I know the difference between I'm a right, I love
I love cipher's. I create ciphers. Okay, So uh super heavy sigh
Like it does the thing when you're super hyper focused and being a person that
creates cosplay, you probably know when you're doing like really fine work and you
get like hyper focused and you have to like pull your brain back, you
know, back to like reality and perceiving anything beyond this space. Yeah,
and it's annoying. You get so pissed. Yeah, Like no, like
pulls the tweezers away first, then like puts the object down on this glowing
lit table. What do you have? I'm sorry, they'll just come over
here. My uh my friends. We have said you had something for me.
Oh yeah, yeah yeah, this teleporter. I said, you gotta
help me first, dude, I'm good for my word. Look at me,
see that thing and I point to the whispering grain I'm like, she's
been following us since the City of Bridges, the whispering Green. Yes that
yes, and you're you're a nano right, look at you. You're a
nano right, I am a nano. So so she we need to figure
out how to talk to her because she has taken a kind of fancy to
our us nanos. Are you speaking another language? I don't think I've ever
heard that. Yes, I'm terrible explaining. Can you talk to the smarter
people that I'm with? Please? I like lead him back over if he's
will He's like looking at I don't know. I had no idea what you
just said. It felt like it feels like you just played some boggle or
something and just shook up this bunch of words and threw him down and whatever
landed on the table you read as a hell of a drug. You okay.
So he's looking at you kind of confused, and you just wave them
over like that guy's good, and he just kind of lumbers over. This
guy's kind of like he's not very tall, but he's kind of like girthy.
He's like a wide, wide gentleman, and he sort of lumbers over.
You can see his robes are like scraping on the ground a little bit.
He picks them up and moves. This guy's a nano too, and
she says something about nano's being the knowledge that we need. So Jay,
when I was we heard that when I was shaking you, So Jay,
Yeah, did you remember any of it? What was said? What me?
I didn't hear anything? No, No, Jay, I'm talking to
Jane. No, I mean I do, but uh, hello, Like,
I'll introduce myself to him. I'll kind of hi. Uh what is
he doing? I don't know. Shouldn't we be waiting for the other No,
No, we're waiting for him. But in the meantime, we're making
ourselves occupied by getting another nano to help us, because she apparently And I
walk over to her and I like wave the other guy over to stand next
to me in front of her, and I'm like, because she was whispering,
and she did come up to me and talk about how we are connect.
We want to listen to her. No, I don't want to listen
to her because she's very mean. Be careful, don't insult her, don't
try to like touch her, persuade her or anything, because she might say
mean things very mean, make you hate your wife? Actually so, but
okay, are you a nano sir? I am, I'm sorry. I
was busy with some work. I'm really sorry that we interrupted you. Then,
I don't understand what's being asked of me. I leaned toward to her,
and I say, is there anything we can do? Or do we
need more? You're leaning to the whispering green, yes, not to him.
Okay, please make a difficulty nine intellect's check in regards to persuasion.
You have two assets, okay, in one effort, and in it you
have rolled in eighteen close to damage. It's powerful. I'm sorry. The
whispering green seems to move about the nano weaving between both of you. The
nanos snow. The nanos snow. They can see. The data sphere is
understood by some, not all, but some. Some know, some see.
Some see creation is the foundation. Thought is creation? The nanos no,
the nanos can feel it. The world is creation. New minera is
the world. Escape is new minera. So there is a new minera.
Sorry we didn't come that, did we. Oh she's saying it out loud.
Oh okay, okay, yeah, whispering if you well, I wasn't
sure she was whispering or not, so no commands demanded unrecognized. So I
think that I think knowl's the device. I think nol's new Minera. And
also I don't think we should continue talking with random people in this world because
we are just gonna, like I said, and I will stress again,
we are only going to get woven into the code even more. Mitt I
got her to talk by bringing another one in, like, at least give
me credit for that one. No, you're saying the same thing, thank
you, like think like that's awesome, but I'm also worried that we're going
to lose you from you helping us. Listen, I am willing to take
one for the team because I don't even know what you're talking about. But
I'm here, I'm on a mission, and I would. She said,
Nano's data sphere. That's that's my that's our specialty, like that's that's ours,
and and there's several here. I can see them. I can see
all of them. I mean, if you can get we create oh sorry,
in all commands. So I think I think I think we're I think
we've been interacting with the new Man era. I think we've been interacting with
the thought that is creation, the creation that is new manera, Newman are
being the world and I think that is the new Man Ara, and I
think that is the world. I think he is it. But she yes,
that's why she's so inte so so so into him. I think it's
either them. I don't know. I just thought is creation when we think
we speak to null. That's like our thought, right, creation, I
think, I think, and then he can create for us, but he
can't, Like the nanos can create. They have magic. But imagine if
you got enough together, could they create something enough to like? So,
can you use your hedge magic to make things? I can, but I
can't make anything big. But maybe if I got to make a door,
That's what I'm saying. Maybe we can make a door. Just you you
can make a five foot square. I've played a nano before. Five feet
is enough to go through a door. Can you think up a door?
Yeah? I mean if I tried, Yeah, no commands, try command
unrecognized? What if that what if that is? What if that is the
commands? What if she's just shouting what we have to say to all?
No thought is creation? Unrecognized? Command? Minera is the world. The
world is creation, unrecognized command nothing. Make a door, make a door,
all right, yeah, do it? Okay, Uh, I'm gonna
try and make a door by myself first. Well, just a basic door
five foot high? Uh, just simple woulden? Yeah, no, you
are trying to use your hedge magic. Is that correct? Yes? No,
Please make an intellect check difficulty one in regards to hedge magic. If
you apply effort, you make up free. Hey, you have rolled a
twelve. You create a small door. It's uh, it's not very tall,
it's about five feet high, but you can you know, if you
bend down, you could probably What do you think it looks like? I
would say it has like it literally looks like an MMO door, something that
I would not remember, but I would think up where. It's like it's
got like a metal frame. It's wooden with like a cutout for a tiny
window with bars over it. And it's just got a little metal handle.
It's just very simple, very plain, and yeah, five foot because I'm
sure. Oh right, yeah, let's Alice in Wonderland, this ship.
Let's go. I don't know if it works, but I open it.
Okay, you open the door you see the other side of the room.
I stepped through anyway, just to make sure you stepped through the door.
I knew it was more than this, more an exit. But imagine if
we created a door and then the priest somehow got together and created a Listen,
can you all you did was create a door. Maybe you need to
think of an exit. An exit button got his creation. You thought of
a door, You got a door. Think of an exit out of here?
Okay? Like a yeah? Yeah? What would that look like in
a fucking alta four that you don't understand what it is? Uh? Okay,
so whenever, uh uh? What do you think of? I think
of a door when I want to leave something you can think of? Think
of a home? Yeah, what can you remember anything? I'd have to
test this. Think of anything anything that reminds you of home? Are you
still trying to by the way, use noise? Slow down? Yeah,
I'll do another and I'll come anything. Well, do I need to roll
to see if I remember anything? By the way, I think I do?
Or do I just know not? No? I mean I I don't
know. I'll leave that up to you. I honestly, if I want
to stay in character, I would say, I don't. I don't know.
I just I don't know, guys, I can't. I can't think
of anything specific. When I think about leaving, I just think of going
out a door. No, uh, think wait, leaving the world,
then leaving New min Era. Wait, try to draw. She keeps drawing
things from the real world. Oh yeah, And I look at like,
hey, I drew this door when you guys were talking about a door,
and I show you a door, and I kid you not. It is
literally the hidden door from Lord of the Rings where they had to solve the
riddle be friend and enter. Yeah. Yeah, and so it's literally that.
And it's like it just came to me. I don't know. This
is really cool, though, don't you say, Okay, we'll do it
again. Yes, do it again? Draw it again? Do you want
to? Can you make another door using that as your reference. I look
at the other guy that's next to me, I'm like, do you think
we can make this in like a stone wall? Can you think of where?
Can you draw where? What you remember of home? And then I'm
sorry, I'm very busy. I don't really understand what it is you're asking
for me. You want me to make my god, we are outsiders and
we are trying to find our way home. Will you please help us for
Fox's sake? Outsiders? Hey, how many ciphers? Let's just all give
them all their ciphers of and he'll help us. Right, Cifer, give
me, give me your cipher. Next, give me your cipher. Yeah,
Korn probably would have been heading back to the group by this point.
Okay, this is a rejuvenator. Oka, you go take it and I'll
throust it out to the to the green whispering green. This is a rejuvenator.
How are you trying to You're just holding it? Yeah, I'm just
I'm holding I think after please help us get home? There's no response.
Cool. We gotta get we gotta we gotta figure this out. What's going
on? Man? All right, I've spoken to DELVEC, and DELVEC has
said that the Amber Pope is here in the Dirko and we can speak with
him. Okay, right, that's great. We we we we'll just have
to wait a little while DELVEC will will make introductions and then uh, it
sounds like we can we can speak to Durnett. That's we don't have time.
We don't really have to well, we can, we can make time,
don't she Look at her though, look at the whispering green. She's
losing interest. There's too many things around. We have to either get her
alone or we have to just go there now and hope that they'll just understand.
We can't. There's no way I'm gonna break through a fo No.
No, I'm looking at color and I'm like, come on, dude,
like, we need to get there now. Look at her, and she
like, because you said that, she was like focused, like losing attention
on us. Oh, if you want to summary, I think they'll understand,
right, Coorn, listen, we're forgetting things very quickly about where we're
from. So if you want this knowledge, you need to talk to us
now. Please make an intellect check based on perception difficulty too. You have
perception or persuasion, persuasion, you have one assets? Do them? Anyone
gonna help me? Kim? Oh yeah, I'm I think I'm helping,
right. Silver tongue would be where you have the aspect from. Oh,
okay, okay, I could also help. I don't know if that hasn't.
I don't know if it stocks does it? Where is it popping up?
Is it not showing up. Oh there it is. Okay, I'm
sorry. What was the difficulty now too? Oh you have rolled seventeen?
Okay, you can see that. Korin says, don't worry. I'm sure
DELVEC will be receptive. Just give me one moment, and he rushes over
back to del Veck. Okay, okay, who is seemingly by the way,
he's like interested in the conversations he's doing one of those like can I
run over with him? Okay, I run over to you go flapping about
behind me? Sure, yeah, you rush over there. If he's going
to where we need to go, then yeah, I'm still holding UNA's hand,
and I'm gonna stay with the whispering green. Okay, Oh come with
you, peep. Okay, who's staying with the whispering green? Just Jay?
If Jay's gonna stay behind, I don't want to leave him. Say,
I don't know if I can give you guys a chance, like unless
unless if you guys just start walking off, I just wouldn't come. I
go talk to the guys. Talk to the right now. I think we're
looking that's the person who wants to talk to you, so we can leave.
So that's why we're just heading there. Just don't talk, Jay,
just don't talk. You can come, come on, get her over here.
You know, I don't split up guys. I'm right there. You
guys, they're like twenty feet away. I can see you. Yeah,
that happened before, though, you're outside the door right here. Okay,
well, I still run over with the guy with corn. I'm gonna I'm
gonna stay. I'm not I'm not gonna leave everybody. Okay, So Luna
and Technom rush over with Koran. No, I think and I are holding
hands. I think she was gonna go. I was just going. Okay,
yeah, so you rush over, Delvic says, is there a problem,
Koran? What's going on? We're going to bring the Whispering Green to
the ambo. Yes, I'm very sorry, Delvic, but I I these
outsiders here are in a bit of a hurry, And how does that affect
me? Oh, Korin, you should tell them about the memory loss.
I was I was getting to that. Oh okay, yeah, I'll yep,
you got it. I'm right here though. You see, they are
having some difficulties with their memories. They're worried that if we don't hurry,
they might lose the interest of the Whispering Green, and that would be horrible
for everyone. Coryn If these are more falsehoods, it's an interesting things.
I don't know how dour that will take it. You have to accept the
fact that I have, in fact brought the Whispering Green here after a year,
corn sir, I'm one of those outsiders. The Whispering Green apparently likes
Nanos, but likes me and our team the most because no comman. Uh
okay, I want to see if she tracks Noel like what we like.
J Jay and the rest of the group are back. Are you using no
while you're back? Yeah? Okay, there's some confusion. But there's four
of them back there. I think I don't think that she might like turn
her head even though know's like talking with me because you said she has less
interest in us than she does null I do. But there's four of them
and they're interacting with me. Oh are they okay? Well I can't,
I can't. I can't. I guess teleconnect with them, so that was
gonna be my route to convince him. But whatever, No, he's right,
we're losing our memory because we're not from this world at all. We
are from a completely different world, or maybe the same world, but in
the past. And I don't even remember where I'm from. So but they
do, some of them, and they can still contact or or connect with
her. And it's fading fast. And the more we talked to random strangers,
the worse it gets for us. And I don't know, but that's
it. That's all I have to say. I'm sorry, Corn, I
didn't mean to interrupt. I know it's rude. Please make a difficulty for
persuasion check based on intellect. That's not bad. Yeah, yeah, you
have sixteen very well. This is extremely unorthodox, Korn, and I did
expect something from you. It's taken you an entire year to get the Whispering
Green here. Oh, but he's been a tremendous help. I mean he
really helped us a lot. He did, he did, he did really
good. You did good work, man, Thank you, Thank you,
man. I'm bad at talking. Follow me and you should get your friends
like, wave them over. I think we can go. Mmm, no,
command list, is she still following? Yes, the Whispering Green is
still following you. So DELVEK and Corn will be leading you through this corridor.
You can see that there are several guards along the way that kind of
look like this. Oh, I'm so uncomfortable, like Sith fucking Order of
Truth with the Halbirds of fuck. They literally look like is that like Palpatine's
guards with the Red I mean they kind of look like Doctor Doom. Closer
to Doctor Doom. I think you just kind of like Scarlet as the color
Orian guard. Yeah, and you're walking down this long corridor and then the
yeah, there's there's uh, there's these guards that are blocking this sort of
ornate door, and you know they sort of like Halt and Delvic says,
yes, I must speak with the Amber Pope. It is of vital importance.
We have with us the Whispering Green and several outsiders. Please, if
you could get them this message and allow us passage, that would be very
helpful. Thank you. I'm squeeze On's hand. I'm so nervous. I'm
just gripping Bbe's hands so tightly right now. Yeah, the guards sort of
like talk to each other and then one of them opens up the door and
slips inside. It should just take a moment, right, So you still
believe in these outsiders theories, then well, of course, There's been a
lot of discussion about it, and I think that well, from what I
can tell, they seem to be correct. Mm hmm. Interesting. I
don't know if I believe anything in regards to this. Is this fucker wearing
shoelaces or anything. I'm not even kidding. Shoelaces, yeah, or belt
holding his pants up kind of prank him? Yeah? What are you franking?
I think royal guard A. I'll slow down time, I'll pull his
pants down, and then I'll get back to where I was. There's no
fucking way. But you can't slow it down if you're doing an action,
right. He doesn't. He actually, and you know, I'm not trying
to be like a party poop or anything. He doesn't. He's just got
kind of like these flowing robes and it's like slip on shoes. Then I
think about it. I needed to do me a favor and ask Coralai about
where she's from. Ask her just her name is Coralai. She's right there
and I point, I point at you, but I don't say anything.
And that's it that sounds peculiar. Is that a rush? No, it's
it's it's legit. Like, just ask her where she's from. Ask her
about her past life or the one that we came from. That we're trying
to because she seems to remember. I don't remember, but she she does.
So there you go. Your name is Coralai Korin will sort of like
walk up to you. I look at him, but I remember miss warning,
and I'm not going to speak to him unless I absolutely have to.
Where are you from? Oh, come on, you gotta answer him.
I'm trying to. Did you forget? I put the listen corn I'm sorry.
I put the telepathy endplant in him. I can listen to him now.
We just had a conversation to help him understand, maybe tell him what
I don't remember shit about where I'm from. The door's open, great,
there are weapons. It's not me. I can talk and I can try
to do whatever. But you guys, you have the knowledge. Oh,
we'll tell it to the poem. Yeah, I guess there's really no going
back now. Inside there's a sort of grandiose like circular room. You can
see that there's bits of new Minaria integrated into various parts of the room.
There are eon priests all about. There's no throne or anything like that doesn't
really work like that. Here. This is a place of knowledge, but
there are congregations and groups of people that are sort of communicating. And you
can see, as Korn points him out to you, this figure Scarlet Robes
conversing with several other Eon priests. There's a sort of larger bit of new
min era between them. A few of them are kind of laughing, and
a few of them are looking like they're They have some like large plans on
screens that are sort of floating by them, projected like into the air,
like a hologram kind of feel to it. And during at the sixth the
Amber Pope turns towards your group. He raises an eyebrow and he says,
Ah, these are the outsiders and the whispering Green. DELVEK and korin good
work and bringing them to me. You've done your job as well. Whispering
Green is more intriguing than I have imagined. He's going to study the whispering
Green for a moment, taking full attention away from the group and sort of
like looking at the whispering Green, who, by the way, he's even
more doing the sort of social like the butterfly thing here moving about the room,
and there's a lot of hawk about Bananos know Bananos can feel it.
New Minera is the world, escape is New Minera creation, the foundation thought
is creation b Nanos. Now I get kind of like emo is shit,
feeling a little like just feeling kind of upset, and I walk away and
I try to perceive the room. Is there like something I noticed about this
room that besides the new Minera, that something specific, something that wouldn't mark
a doorway or because she keeps saying the Nano's no, but I'm trying to
decipher what it is. I know that she keeps talking about. Yeah,
like I just okay, boggling my mind. Oh are we getting a player
intrusion? Uh No, I can't don't have any. I don't have any.
Uh I think we're getting one from Coralai. No we're not. No,
we're not. Oh okay, sorry, I just I was trying to
read it, and I, uh, okay, that finger got it.
Well, I don't know if. I don't know if that even applies.
I mean it's we're metaphorically lost, but we're not actually lost, So I
don't know if that would work in this case. Minding me I have those
Yeah, Okay, if we've got anything, fucking use it. I have
a player intrusion. I'd like to use Flucky Break. I hope it'll help.
I have no idea, but if it can. Jacob Rison, you
were using the player intrusion Lucky Break for one XP. Is that correct?
Yeah? Great job, Jay, very well. Thanks. After you activate
this, I think what happens is you don't have to make the role back.
Now you can understand that something in this room has garnered Whispering Green's attention.
There's an unpowered device that runs through the one of the there's like I
would say, probably like two small offshoot rooms. Whispering Green has sort of
moved off that way, and there is what you would assume is a new
min era that fills this room. It's built into the walls, and that's
where they've gone. So she's going towards the walls in that direction. She
said that aloud or uh no, I'm looking at it, and I'm like,
and I no command to do this pause, and I'm like, guys,
that way, I think there's something that way. I can sense it.
She senses it, something something powerful. Yes, thank you, No,
it's powerful. It's whatever it is yeah, right right in a point
where she's at right at the wall. I'm like, it's on the other
side. It's got to be a room. There's got to be a way
into there. I don't know how, probably several guards. I walk over
there and I try to see what it is that she's looking at. Yeah,
I'll walk over. No commands, open the map, got the menu?
Yeah, you go over there, or I please make an intellect unrecognized
command. Please make an unrecognized command. Okay, sorry, please make an
intellect check. In regards to understanding new Minera, the difficulty is eight.
Can she get an asset with my hope? Because I pointed out no,
okay. I think I was staying over in the amber Pope room, and
then I hear the understanding new Minera and then I make my way in there.
I have any assets? No, and you have no assets? Can
I use you as an asset? No? Unrecognized demanded what are you?
What is that? I don't know, but he just started freaking out when
I walked close to the bell. That was because I was saying the command
center, I think tried. I don't know you have rolled a natural one
fuck with means and lucky break here, cancel out whatever's about to happen to
her in any way. No, okay, I'll I'll give up an experience
anyway. I'm not taking the intrusion. Sorry, I want to know it's
good. No, I have a very serious question to ask you. I
would like to gauge how far away I think that this thing, this powerful
thing in the other room is, like how thick the wall is to the
other side somebody else? Can I clarified something real quick? Just at a
game? Is this like a like we've we've gone into a kind of a
giant room and there's maybe like a middle pedestal or something, and the Whispering
Green has like gone over where we can see separate rooms. So there's just
too there's two small circular rooms that are kind of like ranching off from this
circle, and the Whispering Green has gone into one of those rooms. Okay,
cool, Corel. So like we've all we can we all see them.
Is it like a see through thing or you've seen a door that they've
gone through? Seen it? It's like an art There isn't even the door.
Okay, okay, So is this thing on the other side of the
wall though, or is in the room. You perceived the room to be
the new min air and then there's just an arch here, specifically an arch.
Yeah, and that's what the whispering green, that's what they are looking
at in the room. Okay, so I'm also in the room. Okay,
I walked up to the whispering green. So I don't know if you
would see that, Jay, Oh yeah, I think I think we would
go in as well. Now what does it what does it look like?
The room? Sorry, so sticking much with the theme of this place,
I think the interior here is there's sort of sticking to like these golds and
reds and sort of like these turquoise colors, right like the patina of a
of a you know, of a bronze sculpture that kind of greenish turquoisish kind
of color. And there the room is mostly green and then there's like golden
red accents. But you can see it's all asymmetrical, and there are all
these indentations all along the surface of the wall of the room, including the
ceiling. I look for a spot to put a crystal like the guy put
in his like when he made the portal. I mean, it doesn't look
the same, like even on the archway though, No, okay, it
doesn't look the same. There's indentations. I think maybe golf ball size.
What are they shaped like? Are they shaped like new minera? What is
the shape of a new min era? A lot of things can be a
new min era. Okay, I just meant any that we had almost but
I don't have any sort. I wouldn't be able to look, sorry,
Cipher. I guess I would say that they're I would say that they're all
uniform. And imagine, imagine if you had some playto and you just took
a golf ball and flopped it in there and then then took it out,
that that shape that was remaining would be what did you hear? What the
fuck did we put in the loss? Hey? Korin? Do you know
what you put in these walls? In here? There's like a bunch of
Indians and there's a really strong presence in here. I've never seen this place
before. Come on, man, you gotta get someone in here that knows
it. Then ooh, I'm in the presence of the Amber Pope. Didn't
you want to speak to the Amber Pope? Yeah, if you could,
she's in here. Though she came straight to this room, so if he
wants to see her, he's gonna have to come in here. You guys
have been activating null and time has slowed down. There's only been like less
than a minute has passed, you know, like like come on, man,
you guys are like all rushing and ship. The Amber Pope would have
followed, believe it or not, would have followed the whispering green. And
as the Amber Pope moves, all the like little flocks of groups are fucking
like converging with him, like he's interested in something we must learn, you
know, like that's what's happening. So like he's walking in. Imagine a
king, you know, being interested in something like all of the flunkeys and
everything would be moving along and like oh yes, yes, your majesty,
you know it's that kind of a vibe. And he would have walked in
and he and he says, this is a special place that you have so
brazenly entered. What is it forgive us your holiness? What is it your
holiness? Really, it's a fucking pope. It's not inaccurate, a fucking
I am no holy man, I'm a man of knowledge, Okay, it's
inaccurate. Forgive us then all the same, What does this groom do?
If we can ask? It is an artifact, right, what does it
do? He's walked over to the Whispering Green and he says, she speaks
of the data sphere. Yeah, I don't stop. I don't know what
she's talking about. What is the data sphere? You have a noo in
your group? I didn't even bother. I didn't even bother telling him.
I'm sorry, I'll live that all to you. But we do have a
riddle do you have? Are you good at riddles? You gotta be good
at riddles. You're the pope. Wait, what's the data sphere? I
mean, uh, there's a lot of stuff everywhere and I can see it,
and nanos can see it. And I don't know if this guy can
see it, but I assume if he's a pope, he can see it.
You can interact with these nanos and see like that. I just like
they just shot up. You don't see that, though, I see that?
And uh, that's how I can create stuff? Can I do a
simple hedgemagic like create a rock? That's how I create stuff? And then
I like do this and it just disappears in my hand. But I see
like a trickling of like light fall. But why do they call it the
data sphere? Is it code? Are you interacting with the code? That's
a good question. I never thought about it like that. I look at
the Pope like, am I can we interact with creation of the world like
that? So the Whispering Green is sort of running through the the statements that
she was making before. Creation is the foundation. Thought is creation? The
nanos No, the nanos can feel it. The world is creation? New
manera is the world? Escape is new manera? He heard that too,
right, He had to have heard that creation foundation. If I am understanding
what the Whispering Green is saying, there is a well, there is a
way of thinking, a belief amongst some of the Eon priests that this world,
this ninth world. It's only a few, mind you, that this
world was created through the power of thought, through the power of creativity.
Whenever anyone, whatever, anyone has an idea, whenever anyone has a belief.
Some believe that there is a feed to the future. There is a
creation that happens, and if enough people believe, and whatever it is that
is created, it will manifest itself and another reality. You're all knowledgeable.
Hope you're knowing this. I look at the group. We are outsiders.
We are from an age past or, from a world previous to your ninth
to one, so much so that it was believed in our world that we
created this one. How did you? How did our thought? Oh?
And our creation and our creativity? We are here from there and we can't
get back. What did it look like whenever we left? Did we go
through a door to get here? Do you know? I don't remember?
Oh? And that could be our exit. Do you have a new monera
like what pocket Technome used before? Like an ability to share my thoughts with
you? A telepathic implant? Yeah? I do. Do you mind please
make an intellect check difficulty six in regards to persuasion, I'll help you have
two assets. I will use effort. We've used our own new minera to
get to this world. Oh oh, you have rolled in nineteen wife.
We need to get back. So the Amber Pope walks up to you,
Corali and says, place this on the back of your head. I can
turn it on you do it? Oh yeah, okay, he does the
same thing. It's it's circular. It probably is like a flat disc that
just kind of sticks into like you know, like the base of your brain,
kind of place, right at the point where your head and neck connect,
and like powers it on. What is it that you wished to show
me or tell me? Outsider? I share with him everything that I've been
thinking my life. I think about the game loading up. I think about
how I can't remember my husband's face, but I know who he is.
I think about all of that, and I go through everything in detail about
other people. You all have notes if you forget, and I think about
all of these things. I actually rolled really well. I remember pretty much
everything. I did write stuff down. But yeah, so I think about
all of these things, and then please help us think of a way home.
Amazing about his creation. Never would I have imagined the world in such
a state A game. We are some sort of game for you? Is
that how you see us? Not anymore? I don't think anybody realized that
when they created New min Era it would be like this, a mere game.
I don't think that had ever crossed the mind of any eon priest in
all of the order of Truth's existence. To be honest, where we're from
is probably a game to somebody else too. Will you help us? You
are standing in the place that may be able to help you. This room
is a bridge to different realities, like a stargate. What is a I
think of it? Ah different? What's similar? Unfortunately this room has a
price. What's the cost? One must remain behind to form the bridge.
It has only been used three times that I can remember. You can't just
convince all your priests to think really hard about an exit. We'll never be
able to know the reality as any of you do, even through this device.
I'll stay. Are you sure? Yeah? Telvac Yeah, korn h
Can you bring out some of the the other artifacts? Corla? You are
right? Yeah? What happened? I did convinced him? Yeah? I
did. This is like a stargate. This is a gate home. We
can use it no command. One of us has to stay behind for it
to work. I'll stay. You don't know what you're losing. I do
what one of us has to stay? We can't. We can't make a
deal with them. We can't like bargain for this. What kind of is
my favorite? Get used to it? Not hit your muted By the way,
I just realized guys, this come on. You said you don't know
what you're leaving, but I I know, I don't know. I don't
remember. I don't remember. That's why you that's not fair. I'm the
only one who can technically make this decision. I remember when I'm leaving behind.
You don't know. Maybe if you knew, you wouldn't want to just
give it up so willingly. I would never forgive myself. Well, maybe
we should at least, like I don't know, do is there some sort
of game where we could determine best out of three or drawing straws? We
could we could do that? Uh could rush shambo straws, that rock paper
rock paper, that rock perper scissors. Yeah, I'm not I feel the
least bad about staying here. That's the thing. Like, if I stay
this and I can also I also have a player I've got I've got the
player intrusion. I could probably maybe somehow wire it so it doesn't have to
take a person. Wait did we say kill a person. I don't know.
I mean take a person to bridge to work it. I don't know
if someone has to stay, she said, no one will be killed.
The device is a bridge. Someone must form the link. Does it have
to be It has to be somebody who remembers home the only one we still
remember some stuff because it's still counted the chat? Can they can an artifact?
Stay? Yeah? Can we sacrifice the chat? Could I like modify
it to connect the two? No? Yeah, I could probably modify to
then have the realities of chat bridge? Maybe a bridge? Maybe there's no
fucking way reality here? Can we try that? Can we combine like our
intrusions to try and make that happen? I have a bunch of stuff I
haven't used that could work, right? Are these intrusions part of this game?
Yes? Yes, I have one too, Yeah, yeah, four
two. It is the function of men. They allow us to alter our
circumstances and to change the reality around us in specified ways. Reality itself amazing
and inate ability. Yeah, So why don't we try that? Why don't
we try making Chat the link to or to our world? We'll pull it
out and activate chat. Warn you wait, I much, warn you?
Okay, too much? It takes a very long time for this device to
accumulate enough power to activate. How long, Well, you'll be able to
make one trip, but if you were to require a second use it would
take years. Wait, so it'll take years for all of us to even
go through it. No, it'll take yours for anyone else, can't You
could see how we don't. We can't stay behind you, being all knowledgeable
and powerful here in Key will be a fraction if we are to if one
of us is to stay, because then we will be idolized for being able
to bend reality. We can't stay. This is not for us. We
can't stay, none of us and stay. You should consider the world that
you leave behind is not my world. It's none of ours. No,
it's yours and you can have it. But and hear me out, you
guys can't stay. You remember enough. I don't know about commercon, but
the rest of you remember enough. But we still have one more mission we
haven't completed. If I have, or whoever stays has years to come like
to complete it, which is Jax Castler. Katie. Her name's Katie Kay.
I'm sorry, I just I keep forgetting so Katie, I just remember
Jacks. I'm sorry to get Katie back. Then by the time it's time
to go through again, then hopefully we could maybe find someone else to sacrifice
staying behind or I just stay for a little bit longer, or we send
out a message to everybody, every player who's stuck. How are we gonna
do that? Though? No group chat, mass message, unrecognized command.
Fuck, I don't think we can global chat, unrecognized command play a game
without a global chat. But you guys, do you? Did you guys?
And I point to Coralai and the poem, like, did you guys
like use your tileipods? Did you guys do something there? Because you just
came out saying a whole bunch of stuff. I'm assuming you talk to someone,
was it Korin? Because he's kind of full of shit. Sometimes I'm
looking at Corlai like, did you talk? No, I talked to the
pope. Yeah, he walked up and put the thing on her head?
What did Oh right, that's what that was. I thought it was patting
it. It was really weird. But did you what did you share with
him? Everything? Like a about you? Yeah, I thought about home,
I shared you, I shared myths, I shared jay, I shared
VIEO, I shared oh yeahs orx, I shared everybody. That's a whole
that's a whole bunch of people. But if he has your memories or lie,
can't he stay behind? Please make any difficulty six intellect check in regards
to memory. You have one asset I will use. I use the effort.
Oh god, yes, yeah, you have rolled a sixteen. You
still retain those memories. So if he has your memories, isn't that enough
to get us back? All of us? He says, No one will
remember the world quite like we do, which means me, why don't you
remember it while he's you're still are you still linked to him? Yeah?
Could you just broadcast again as he's linking, and then he will send us
back? I look to the pope. I'm sorry say that again. I
just looked at the pope as no myth. Wow, So the plan was
that? Or what Alric says is that, is there a way that she
can broadcast these memories and then he can have the projection of her memories while
he's linking this artifact. So he actually is the only one who stays behind
in lieu of one of us, in lieu of Corlai. Even with the
devices that we have a new minera, nothing will be able to transmit the
fee things and the thoughts that you hold dear by stable How are you going
to keep the memories if we just keep losing them over over a short period
of time, that's where we have to go. Now, that's where you
have to get that. We just side who goes through and let it be
a surprise or all of you want to stay, right, none of us
are going to go through if all of us keep fighting. I want to
stay, but three of you want to stay, So none of us,
all of us are going to offer to be the one to stay because none
of us would leave someone behind. Do they remember enough? So be the
link? I can? I can try? Ye? Do we want to
try seeing if we can modify this to use the tablet for the I'd like
to try to modify it to modify where we do that. Wait, one
last thing. I think we need to teleport to get KPP Katie Jack's whatever.
Oh, there's no way. I mean, let's one of these guys
takes us to her. There's no way I can teleport with this. Surely
they have they have portals, they have new that's up to him though,
that's up to and I pointed the problem, that's that's up to him.
Please, I'm sorry, we don't have any way at the moment, we
house many different ciphers and artifacts and oddities, all different sorts of New min
era. Here. There have been devices, there have been artifacts that have
been able to do what you ask to resurrect someone, but we don't have
any at the moment. They're rare. I'm very sorry, Hey, Korin,
Yes, do you by chance think there's any way I could just join
you guys in your quest for knowledge for a little while. I can speak
for the rest of the order, but if you would like to join the
Order of Truth, I'm sure that the Amber Pope would be most interested in
any outsiders attempting to join. Do you think I should ask them? Do
you think it's a good time? Oh? Yes, definitely. So what
if I choose to join you for a while in your search for knowledge and
perhaps this Newman era that's very rare, and in the process potentially find a
way to get Katie back? And I could I think I could help with
knowledge based task. I could help with healing. I'm good with healing.
I could be useful. I could make myself very useful. Make an intellect
check based on persuasion difficulty sticks. You have one asset, what does bonus
do you do not have a bonus? No, no, I'm saying,
what does it do though it's a straight plus two in number, instead of
getting it multiplied by three? Okay, get them in certain situations. We
haven't really come across one. You have rolled at thirteen the amber, Pope
says you would be welcomed into the order. You can't let her do that.
She won't remember how to get home. I but see when I get
Katie back, she might Katie's dead, But you wanted I thought I thought
we wanted to get her back. There's no way to resurrect her. I
was going to carry her fireman, carry her body out of here. Yeah,
these bodies aren't real. It doesn't, It doesn't. I don't know
if that would help. We don't know what. You don't know what happened
to her and the other side, So maybe it would have woken her up.
I don't know either. I don't know. I think we should just
try and see what we can do with this tablet and take it from there.
Yeah. Maybe at first. There's a lot more people remembering the world
in chat than there is standing in this room. Yeah, the power of
so many people, and maybe if if all of them at once are contributing
and sharing stories or memories or feelings of what it feels like to be home
with all of us, even Katie here, And that's got to be more
than just one of us staying behind, right, Yeah, I think it's
worth a shot. Let's just try. I'd pull up the chat it poked
him. Could you assemble your students? And I'm going to need a lot
of help. I reach out and I take pockets hands. I know she
said some shit to you, but you're amazing, and you have a great
life that you don't want to leave behind. And I know you can't remember
it right now. I mean, but we all have that. It's not
just me who gets to determine the value of one person of or another.
I think that if if I make this decision, I'm not going to regret
it like you might for who knows how long it could be weeks that you
remember this. I don't even really remember. I don't even know how long
we've been here. I feel like I've just been here forever. And well,
that's why we're all going together. If we can. I will help
where I can. I'm not pretty good at this stuff, though you're great
at this stuff. So you're trying to use your device perfection player intrusion.
Yeah yeah, and if I could boost it, but it's artifacts, so
I can't. Yeah, so I'm just going to use the device. Ulrich
Shiloh, please make an intellect check in regards to crafting new Minera. Difficulty
six, I will help. You have two assets. One's okay, I
have other things, but I can't. Oh, here it is. What's
the difficulty? The difficulty is six. You have two assets. You are
using your pressing your luck special ability. Let me it triggers a GM intrusion.
I have an asset. You have two assets, okay, difficulty six
using two effort, I have two assets. Difficulty too, then it should
add it should add it already, right yeah yeah, oh yeah, but
it'll only be difficulty too. Right, yeah, you have the roll of
three. Unfortunately, this device seems beyond you. You try to rig up
something to sort of be almost like an iPod seat, you know, and
put the tablet in there. But trying to make both pieces of technology work
together forces you to waste a bunch of time. Several of the others are
conversing, Yeah, like conversing back and forth and you just know that this
is beyond you, and the combined knowledge in the room here isn't enough to
help you. Did it destroy the chat? Noah? Can I try?
You're going to try and create Okay, yep. I'm curious if this is
relevant here. I have inspirational recall that says you recall an important detail from
a previous encounter, perhaps something you don't even remember noticing at the time,
that suggests a successful course of action for your current situation. Would that be
relevant maybe not for me fixing it entirely, but recognizing like, oh maybe
we can try it this way and then we can make another attempt because I've
watched them work with it so many times in the past. Yeah, definitely,
that's what the ability does. Okay, great, Okay, so yeah,
that'll cost you one XP. Awesome, and now Coreli is going to
try. Core Lie, please make a difficulty six intellect role in regards to
crafting new minera the you have three assets. I will also use effort,
but it only lets me do two assets. Consider putting to effort in as
a compensation. Okay, Oh, you have rolled to sixteen. It takes
you all a few hours to do this with great minds working together. You
fashion. I'll let you kind of describe what it looks like, some kind
of interface to place the chat in. I immediately thought of the twitch glitch
and then it just sits in it. Okay, so it's got like the
index and then we just stick it in there and sits in there and it
lights up purple. Yeah, right in the middle, right in the eyes.
Yeah. Yeah, we're cheesy, but that's what I first thought of.
So yeah, wow, yeah it wasn't I know that would have been
yeah, And I think, uh yeah, it's just like it glows,
it lights up and we stick the chat right in there. Yeah, you
power on the chat jay, Yeah yeah, I do the required inputs.
Do you say anything to chat before you get started? I'll look at like
Corlai or all Rick, like, are you turning it on? Yeah,
it's on. I think it's I think I like that's gonna power on.
You can all open up your chat. Hey everybody, we need your help.
Can you guys explain? I don't we need you to think. We
need you to be the link between this world and ours, So please please
please Memories of Home What it feels like to be home, remind us of
where we should be. Create something powerful, something sensory, a memory,
a smell of feeling, anything that we can use as a link. If
you post something that is a home of help something. Maybe remind me who
VEO is. Remind us of a pizza? I miss pizza. Yeah,
tell us your favorite thing about home. Oh I do remember this commerson,
I remember that? Yeah, thank you, thank you? Chat first cookies
in the kitchen. Would you move on morning post co fee coffee time?
This sony Spotify, it's a lot iTunes. Think of me meaning peepy dropping
a chair, making friends with okay cats, putting my daughter to bed?
M h, what do we? What do we do? What it happens?
Now? I know what is Corlins had a power on the device.
Uh yeah, I just I touched the Twitch chat and then I probably do
some hand gestures to kind of like move it like I did with the regular
interface, and I turn it on. Hm. The room begins to shake.
Several of the Eon priests all around exclaim in surprise, some cheer,
it's working. It's working. I've never seen it turned on before. The
Amber Pope says, a bridge without a bridge, outsiders are truly amazing.
Thank you, yelling at him, thank you, thank you so much,
thank you. The room starts to spin, kind of like a a centrifuge,
slow at first, and then starts to gain speed. You can see
all the little divots all through the wall begin to connect with lines in very
complex geometric shapes, all about illuminating. Each individual givot has its own complexities
and it kind of resembles the different constellations in space, and you can see
that they're different than what you astronomer like people would expect. Some are the
same, some are different, but they start to change and they start to
look like home. You all get pushed back to the wall because of the
centrifugal force, and everything outside the room blurs. You lose all sight beyond
the room. And that's where we're going to end the show. Oh oh,
good job, Chat, We did it. Thanks guys, fuck man,
Chat did it? Sacrificing chat ever? Same all ship. Yeah,
that was incredible, good ship, guys, well done, everybody chat questions,
good job, Chat, God, well done. That was super fucking
wholesome. Cheez geez cheese and rice. That was so good and that was
the best possible way for that to work. Yeah, that was the That
was the best ending. Also, just like for such a really intense,
heartbreaking show, it was nice that. It was nice that we got a
cookie at the end. You know. Yeah, there were a lot of
different ways that could have went. I gave you a lot. I gave
you a lot of different options. I thought when you told me that that
like somebody had to remember the way home. I'm like, that's me.
I'm the only one that fucking remembers it. I'm stuck. I was like,
I have to stay because advice, because I got a boost it without
a fucking riddle. Was she giving us a riddle? I figured that out.
So was I right about her? So there's a bunch of questions.
I'm not going to answer, like a whole mess of questions. I'm not
going to answer number one. Chat's gonna like ask about the aftermath. Nothing
will be revealed. That's one hundred percent up to your minds what happens.
I like leaving questions at the end of these and uh sort of getting people
on a path and lending them experience the journey. But I will say that
as far as what she was saying, she was just dropping hints as to
what this world was I had. She just knew it was a game with
I was waiting for the monologue to be like I know how, Like I
was just so excited to be like, well I did, like do a
meta monology. Video game is bla bla blah. And I was like so
excited. You're like a creation escape is newmanerative. We have to play the
game with the foundation. What do we have to create meta right now?
What the place is? Yeah? I really it was great. I loved
it. It was so great. Sounds good, A good job everybody.
That was amazing. I've been fiddling with all my fidget toys this whole time
because I've just been this entire time. If you gave her a cipher or
audity, she would have answered a question. I fucking knew it. I
gave her a cipher three times. My own anxiety ate my brain. I
was like, no, what it like? What if you're remembering it wrong
and she eats seen everyone? Like you're going to get everybody killed? Yeah,
there's was terrified. I was terrified she was gonna be like, oh,
cool of a visit, you think, and then turn into your husband.
And that's the thing I will that's the thing I will just answer.
Because of the nature of null, she was more interested in the situation,
at least for a time. There was sort of a countdown for her where
her normal stuff would have sort of taken over. Oh is that why you
kept asking if we were stalling for time? Still? Yeah, there was
a time. There was basically a time limit for how long you can keep
it with us? That's a stalling null. Can I ask? Can I
ask everybody a question? Yeah? How do you How do you think it
ended? We think it ended. Yeah, Can we go around and just
say what happened to us? Don't want to do that? I'll start We're
dead? You think so that's some ship? Oh? Oh that's awful.
That's first thought, dude. And so ship we're I think we are.
I think we're gone. Can I be candid about what my character would have
done in that situation? I think my character, like me as that character
who forgot, like I was, I failed so horribly. I pretty much
forgot my life. Yeah, and by then probably did. There were a
lot of important roles that were made. I will say that Peebee's role luck
for this game really changed a lot of ship, especially the end not just
the end, the whole thing she's killing. Is he gonna kill me?
No, you can't answer that, don't answer murdered me. I will.
I will say, well, yeah, I will say that your your cares,
your roles changed. A lot of stuff changed, a lot of sad
because I had that session where I failed once, but it was all combat,
right, So that was well. I said before we started it that
I was really not going to focus on combat. That's not what Newmanaiir is
about. Newmanaire is about fo duration and discovery and not starting fights. It
is, but I fun kicking ass. Yeah, yeah, Combat's really good.
Like that's also the thing about it. It's like it's great. It's
so good at exploration and discovery, especially once you get skills I say destiny
but the h and also like got them but the but yeah, when it
comes to like combat, it's also fun to just get into combat. It's
a really great system. What I was saying for my character though, is
that I probably if I were fully in character in that moment, like who
I am, but did not remember where I was. I don't think there's
any way I would accepted that portal as a person unless I had some inkling
of who I was, and now I fear if I stepped through that portal,
will I remember or will I still have amate? Yeah, and so
it's like one of those who I want to go back and not for not
remember anyway. So that's why it's like for my character. I was like,
this is why my character would legitimately be willing to stay behind. Yeah
too, but luckily, Yeah, I'm glad you guys found me last session
too. That was you went sleep walking into the ocean pretty much. Yeah,
definitely terrifying. I'm going to go back and watch all the ship I
missed now because I want to go section. I need a breather first,
though, I'm still like emotionally raw from this. Oh my gosh, it's
too fresh. This was so good. I thank you guys. Nathan.
I think I think I probably would have woken up in the hospital for months.
Yeah, I think so too. I don't know where hospital, not
knowing where I am, my family would be there. Do you think we
would remember what happened? That's the scariest part right there, you came back
and didn't remember when, right, And the craziest thing is like it's like
that black mirror episode was did it all actually happen? Or was it like
yours? And I would never again. I would know that. Yeah,
Like they'd be like, hey, Cord, you did you did VR and
you went to stream and then we brought to the hospital. But never again.
That's exactly why I didn't chat would tell us. Have you guys ever
seen it's like that? I'm sorry, Bob's great. It's like that Ron
Swanson using a computer scene when he finds out like you can you can start?
Yeah, you see the Google Earth, He's like in dumpster. Just
the computer goes in the dumpster. That's what I would do. Have any
of you seen Risk Cutters A love Story? Yes? I love that movie,
so okay, okay, there it's similar. It's similar where it's kind
of ambiguous and you don't know if they remember it or if it was real
or if it was a dream. And all they do at the end is
she just like looks over in the hospital bed, looks at him, He
looks at her, and they're both wondering, and then she just smiles at
him. And that's what I feel like, would happen. I'm sort of
like Donnie Darko type ship or at the end, they're like some only some
knew what happened, and the rest are like life is wonderful. I checked
his I've got a message from each of you, and it's just like just
a smiley face. Yeah, and then there's going who are you? I
don't think you would forget? Makes me wonder though, because I feel like
I've got amnesia in the game, that you'd start getting it out of it,
Like the only reason that you were losing it is because of a the
rolling in the interface in the game, and like, yeah, and how
you know you were failing your roles. So I feel like if if you
did forget, I feel like it would come back to you after a while,
Yeah, after after time. Yeah, at least that's what I said.
It's some so much shit, Yeah, I usually those are our existences,
yeah, and now we've intertwined them with ourselves again, Like was our
consciousness stuck in the game and we returned to our bodies or was were we
just separations of our consciousness from our bodies? Because of that, these are
the types of questions I will not answer. Would I go to jail you
will? Would I derogate you? Interesting question? Oh yeah, you'd go
to jail. I should have stayed behind Dan assholes, didn't think of that.
Listen, if things went awry, all right, the Pope was getting
the old so I would have gone to jail. I don't think that would
have happened. I would have shanked the fucking pope. Okay, the pope
and you would have been the bridge would have been the bridge. Thanks for
for being such a good Yeah. Thanks. Those those memories were so beautiful
to read. Yeah, that was incredibly powerful. I was actually keeping an
eye on the chat by the way, just to see what was being said
in there. If people were lazy about what they put in there, things
are going to go different, things different. But yeah, wonderful show everybody.
Billy, did you hear that chat? You changed it? Yeah,
MVP. Yeah, let's go around the room and let's do some shout outs
to wrap things up. Heb Yes. Hi, I'm Pumpkinberry. You can
find me at Twitch and Twitter at Pumpkinberry. I play a lot of narrative
games, stuff that gives me feels. I cry a lot. I cried
today. I also sometimes fall off my chair when I'm playing scary games.
Ferry Game nine time not really, it's really only last like two games that
I've played seriously. In all of my times, I've fallen out of my
chair like three times. Two of it happened to be in the last week
or two. Whatever. Yeah, it's yeah, I thought I broke my
ass last week. This happened. Yeah, God, no, Please did
you did something? God? Did I have? I told you at the
times I've answered the door in like cosplay or whatever, and the time the
fire alarm went off and I was in my flight suit and no one got
I was standing there and I was like, please just ask me because I
have a good but nobody said anything. They just looked at each other like
what is going on? Like do I just out and tell them? No?
Yeah, I was awful and awkward. Anyway, I'm awful and awkward.
Please go follow me and me out at Twitch not TV, slash Pumpkin
Berry. Thank you. Also, I did an episode with Jay on his
amazing podcast which you can now find on Spotify and Memories of Hope. Wow,
thank you so much. Great God. Sorry, Yeah, that's it.
I'm good. Hi, I'm pocket. I work on cosplay. I'm
still working on cosplay. I am I muted okay, I just had to
make sure I'm I'm probably the most soccer when it comes to muting myself and
talking for five minutes. But I've been working on cosplay. I'm still in
that crunch for BlizzCon now. So uh. You can follow me twitch dot
tv, slash pocket Pocket on Twitter, and Pocket official on Instagram. And
I had a blast. I got to see Katie at twitch Con. That
was super fun. We played hooky and tweeted it out, and I got
to see some of you that actually came by and said hi to me,
so I appreciate it. It was really really nice knowing that people found me
from table story, so thank you and thank you for having on the show.
I would cry, but I'm not very like overtly emotional. It's like,
if a tear happens, I like try to suck it back up.
Man, that's sucking. Tucking my daughter into bed got me. I can't
remember who that was, but you wrecked me real hard. I thought I
thought you meant that, and I was like, maybe he has a daughter,
you like walk her away while we're over. How many times have I
been over? I gotta go bring her to the vet. This is my
daughter. My god, I love you. I love that thing so much
too. Oh it talks to chat now. When subs happened, he gets
excited. Thank you make monetization work for table story. I to monetize my
pets. Thank you well. I love him. Nega works. Hi.
I'm Naga ORX. I'm very sick and very emotional today. This was a
lot, and I don't think the day Quill made it any easier. I'm
a full time streamer. I play single player narrative driven games and a lot
of simulation games like the SIMS and Starting Valley, so come on bye.
But I'm finally not sick anymore and I'm streaming again. I'm also doing more
table top RPG stuff coming up soon, so keep an eye out for that.
And I'm doing voice acting stuff, so yay, lots of exciting stuff.
Follow along on social media if you want to hear updates of lots of
cool stuff that I'm doing. Thank you so much for having me on this.
This was an experience and it was very special to me and I'm going
to cry forever about it. Well, thank you so much. I'm glad
you enjoyed it. Min Thanks for not leaving me behind. You're very welcome.
Oh man, this is this is. This has been an emotional ride,
and I just thank you each and every one of you at home for
being a part of it. And I thank each and every one of you
a part of table story and everybody here in the cast for having me along
and playing with me by my side. It was a very heavy, heavy
game for me, and I just want to say thank you, thank you
for the experience. It was really great. And yeah, cathartic is the
word that I would use for it, and it was eye opening in so
many levels as well as emotionally. So it's just it was really great.
So thank you, guys, thank you. I I don't know anything else
to say. I's kind of speechless, so thanks for thanks all my new
friends here and all of you out there. It was great. That's it.
You can find me on Twitch or whatever. It doesn't matter, but
I just want to say thank you. Go follow myth everybody, go make
it happen. Do it. Give everybody a follow. Thank you, Meth,
