ready to for her interview? Oh? Is it my turn? I'm ready?
All right, step on into my office. Honey. Oh thank you?
All right, just have a seat right there. Okay, how are
you doing today? Oh? I'm doing great. I'm full on pizza.
I couldn't be happier. Really, well, I could be a little happy.
That's what we'd love to hear here at human Resources is happy employees with
bellies full of pizza. All right, So let's get this. Uh,
let's get this over with. This shouldn't take too long. Honey, we
just I'm sorry. Is that okay? What is me saying? Honey?
We had a recent training on that. Just I'm from Atlanta, that's fine,
okay, excellent. All right, So looking through here, looks like
you recently leveled up. Congratulations seeing you. It's been a long time coming,
it has, but you know, we do love to reward our best
employees. Tell me about your recent day and how you felt about the way
that the pizza party went. Well, that's great. I'm glad you're asking
me that, mister. You men, Yeah, you can just call me
Hugh. Hugh. Okay, thanks you for taking the time. So well,
a few things have happened. The pizza parties is just, you know,
delightful reminder that Bluegle really cares about its employees. So I really appreciate
that that is our mission. Yeah, so, well, kind of leading
up to the pizza party, we had a little bit of a whoopsie daisy
where we thought that the actual projector was stolen from us. Turns out that
was just kind of a decoy. Though it was a decoy for us as
well. I see where that could be a little stressful a little bit.
But we tried to get word to Fizzle Bang because we were a few days
out of town. Crystal used some magical powers and was able to communicate with
a bird and somehow sent that bird to Fizzle Bang to send a message.
Oh, she sent a long range message via magical bird. I think so.
Oh, I need to write that in her file. She didn't list
that on accomplishments. After the bird messenger got there and came back. It
was a really fast bird. Apparently. We made our way back to Levron,
met up with Fizzle Bang and Matt Damon. Here at Bluegle headquarters.
We had our pizza party. Matt Damon gave us that level up, like
you said. Unfortunately, a couple of things kind of strange happened in the
past forty five minutes. Richard almost lost his He almost lost it. We're
getting We've been away from home for a long time, and I think we're
really starting to feel at homesickness. So hopefully we can get that aggressed.
And then Crystal was served with some kind of lawsuit. Oh greetings, my
paid unpaid interns. I am Alex Capps. You'r DM or district manager and

What up? It's you boy? Marcel Hardy playing Richard Cox, a human
consultant turned halfling bard who holy believes it's better to be lucky than good,
but it's best to be both. Richard's favorite office snack is starbursts, specifically
the yellow ones. Since no one likes the yellow ones, he doesn't have
to share and other people will often just give them to him, and then
with starbursts that is correct. And then he also just likes to do a
little origami with the rappers. Hello, my name is annelin Hardy, and
I played Taylor Jacobs, a centaur barbarian with a heart of gold. So
Taylor Taylor views eating as like the fuel that will make her better at her
job, so she'll just bring a bunch of mrs. Oh no, no,
it gets like optimal nutrition or whatever. Her digestive system is fucked.
Yeah right, what did you say? You are flavors? Her favorite the
macaroni and cheese. Probably that's why your constitution is so high. Yeah,
hi everyone, I'm Katie and I play Crystal the draw Druid with her very
own MLM and like her favorite office snack is the catchy pepe puffs from Trader
Joe's not a sponsor. Just a cool product, not a sponsor, just
a cool product. And it also is like pretty low calorie. So hey,
I'm Marjorie. I play Amy and Amanda, a basic, b reugh
and tumble human fighter with a freshly minted dentistry degree. Let's see, Amyann's
favorite snack to have at work has got to be cheese. What are they
called? Oh my gosh, I'm blanking on the name of them. They're
like the cheese puffs. I think that is what. Yeah, Cheetos like
so wait, Cheetos really bad for your teeth? Are they? I don't
know. I don't think so. I just know they get that like yellow
stuff all over your hands with chopsticks. Yeah, she goes into like,
you know, an exam. She just pops them in her mouth. You
know, I won't have to worry about it. I'm Tyler. I played
the I T palette known as Bentley and Bentley, as well as My own
favorite office snack is those Life Saver winter green flavored mints. Interesting And the
problem is, I don't know. They're awesome and I ate mouth one day

exactly like Captain Crunch burns your mouth. No, it cuts the fuck out
of your mouth, especially if you eat it dry. Hi, I am

rather peaceful Placid pizza party. Placid. Yeah, calm after you, you
know, stopped getting ratchet when you found out you were getting your promotion.
Look, once we get what we want, Crystals. You know, she's
pretty easy to please, But Crystal has been served you know, she hasn't
what I'm pushing back. Papers were handed to Crystal, but she's not not
accept because again not Crystal. And that is where we pick up in the
lobby of Bluegirl headquarters at the pizza parties. Oh hey, too many,
I'm having acid reflex. Did you have anything, uh, Taylor that helps
with acid reflux? I don't, but maybe Crystal, okay, any of
that. Crystal's having a little bit of Yeah, she's fighting. Where's Richard
at I don't know. Oh, Richard was talking to Fizzle Ambalon Ambalon over
after just like stuffing like five slices of the pizza in my mouth. Richard,
Hey, Fizzle Bang, Hey, oh hello, Uh is everything good
or pinked? Had a miscommunication? Nothing to worry about? Miscommunication? Are
you care? Richard? Yeah? I'm fine. And then Richard, it's
like ready to walk away. Okay, okay, and it's like we're about
to fight. Is like say the word, Richard, I'll this beach.
Fizzle Bang does turn back to it. She goes, I do have a
lead. I believe that the Church of Clarity is in possession of another one
of the items we are looking for. If you can hand me your palm
pilot. I'll recalibrate it to seek out this one. From what I've deciphered
from the cave drawings, this one is called the Crystal of Age. The
crystal does it say what it looks like? It appears to be a monolithic,
pink crystal. Okay, that's not going to get confusing with all of
our other crystals. But I'm sure we can work with that. He makes
some adjustments on the palm pilot and hands it back to you, says,
I wish you God's speed, and if you need any assistance, just let
me know. So Richard, So it was okay that that thing got stolen?
I guess yeah. So apparently that was a decoy that we were just
carrying around love God. Why? Uh? Okay? Interesting, So they
sent us to just kill that guy? Well I don't. I mean,
we didn't go there to kill him, right, We went there to get
the light bulb. But things just went very south, very fast, as
things tend to happen in this place. Well, I mean, if he's
not mad, is this one step closer to getting home? You think?
Yeah, that's that's how we're gonna look at it. Okay, one step
closer to going home. Maybe we should like work that into our next level
up contract negotiation, that they help us get home, because I don't know.
I don't work for a lot of corporations, but they seem pretty slimy
and they're gonna like, no, screw us over if they can't. I
would agree with that. You know, we've like verbally talked about it,
but we don't have that in writing. That's a good point. Yeah,
yeah, so it's about this time. You just guys just here at the
top of everyone, Matt Damon go We're gonna take over the world. And
he's like spewing champagne all over the place. Yes, it's full on,
like like if Wolf of Wall Street had a pizza party, is what's happened.
I'm sure they did. Also, do you have any ant acids?
Let me check? And he looks into He's like, what what toppings did
you get on this pizza? Oh? It's pepperoni and coelude? God good?
And is just having that trip right? She thinks she's driving home,
but really she's just like warming and swarming. Yeah, I'm like Crystal,
Oh my god, yeah, I think I have some fantastics. Thanks.
Thanks, buddy, no problem. So we're probably gonna be like, I
don't think we have any questions. Maybe we will regroup with everyone else and
if we have anything, welcome back to you. Then start heading towards the
rest of the group. Hey guys, we got our next mission. Sweet
I think someone just tried to serve me, like a dance off. That
would have been cool, but no. She was honestly very pretty, and
she like walked up and she was like, are you Crystal two point oh,
which of course I said no to and then she was like, well,
you've been served. But then I was like, that's not how serving
works. I have to confirm my identity. And then she just was like
try again, and she just like walked off. And I don't even know
if she left the paper with you. She did not say, so I'm
gonna go with no, she definitely handed. She did not, But I
didn't take them. Fuck? Well, was she at least take a look
at those. As long as you don't touch them, just don't touch them.
Okay, yeah, I'm not going to be touching those. I don't
try magic in this world. You see that a subpoena to appear, uh
huh, and the penis. It is uh, it is a civil matter.
Okay, I'm telling us a Crystal Crystal v. Crystal, and she
is suing her for libel, slander and stolen identity. The fucking nerve of
this bitch. Can you sue her too? Well, there is obviously a
counter suit, which I've been embroiled in before, but I don't know how
this world works, so I don't know. I won't be doing that if
I can. Is the date two weeks? Two weeks? Okay, we
should probably put that on your calendar. Get the out of here. We're
in two weeks. And I would also like to get my phone back before
they before this two week deadline is so if we could somehow work our way
into getting that back, that would be awesome. And also this is some
bullshit and I would like to talk to about Day about Bluegle representing me in
this case. Well, you're in luck. Our next item that we have
to get is not your cell phone, but it is at the Church of
clar D. So we can grab both of those things and then get the
fuck out of here. Okay, can you disguise yourself in any way?
So I've been thinking about this since the doctor d told us that we're kind
of like on a watch list, so maybe we should like consider some type
of disguises in the future. Do you have anything like to disguise yourself so
that we can go to the church, get the thing, and then bounce
on out. I don't know. I'll have to look because obviously this world
is fucking crazy and I don't actually know what I have the ability to do.
So two things. First thing, would it be Crystal v Crystal two
point zero? Yes? Oh, that would be more. No, it
needs to be Crystal v. Crystal That sends Stoneheart. And the second thing
is Taylor's like, oh, I've always wanted to look like Salma Hayek.
That's wild specifically, like you're really beautiful though, and you, like anybody,
I think she's just so beautiful. Do you think I could like get
the the bottom half removed for that transformation? I don't really know. I
mean you could probably Nothing really surprises me anymore here, so probably you could
just dye your hair. Probably, Yeah, that's the only thing you should
die though, not my coat. Yeah, I don't think I have anything
like. I don't have like a disguise, but as an actor, that
you have something, don't you. Maybe I can. I can impersonate someone's
voice, but I think she's impersonating my voice. Well, maybe we should
like go to a shop or something and you get some like a with a
nose or do we want to talk to Matt Damon first and see if we've
already been paid one hundred and fifty gold because that Yeah, you guys take
the lead. I'm just amien such a good idea. Hey, Matt Damon,
Yeah, what's up? You're welcome for all this like amazing taking over
the world ship. That's right, all thanks to you guys. He's getting
ready to shake up the champagne again. Yeah. So on that note,
we're on some kind of watch list, so probably to keep your assets safe,
we should kind of like disguise ourselves so we're not easily identifiable by someone
who might want to know get rid of your assets as attorneys. One thing,
first things first, I don't worry about the watch list. It's like
everybody's on the watch list. You know how long I've been on the watch
list? How long have you been on the watch list? Probably longer than
you've been alive, buddy, How long have you been alive. That's a
personal question. That is that is really that's a hip of violation. That's
not how that works. But are you a protected class? Is going to
walk over to well, yeah, he's rich. Is there? Oh god,
wow, that's goods. Is there a bluebo terminal? Yeah, definitely,
he's gonna walk over to the terminal. Okay, so you go to
the terminal and then he turns to Crystal and he says, yes, we
know all kinds of good lawyers. You know our lawyer. You've you've known
our lawyers up close in personal I have so fun fact, I just got
served congratulations coratulations. That means you're worth something. Oh good point. So
I was just kind of like that, are you really like part of the
upper class until you've been sued? I mean, come on, that's true.
It's from the Church of Clarity. Oh those guys. Yeah. So
she's suing me while also stealing from me. What is she suing you for?
You know, I didn't read the piece of paper because I didn't want
to touch it. Amy, And do you remember lubrication slander? Oh no,
libel slander's word? Oh stolen identity? Stolen identity? Interesting, so
you claim to be the original. But she's suing you saying she's the original
and that you are spreading false information about her organization. Oh, this could
be a tough one unless you got some evidence. Well, see, I
have this thing called a cell phone? Is it? It's with her?
So she has a thing called a cell phone. No, it's my cell
phone, but she has it. She does have it, but it belongs
to me. This is Levron possessions. Ten tenths of the law is the
entirety of the law is possession. Richard takes a mental note of that.
Yeah, that means like anything you steal is now yours and you don't have
to pay for the price of it. Apparently, though, what is it?
Intellectual property? Theft is really different thing. So I just need probably
a good attorney so that we can get this sorted out and I can reclaim
my business. Okay, Well, there's lots of good attorneys in town.
I mean, I mean, you already know Salt. Do you just want
to work with him? I mean he did fuck me over pretty good.
Yeah, but probably would work in my favorite le'd say, don't you want
to fuck them over? Pretty good? I do? Okay, Yeah,
let's go with Saul, and if I don't like him, or if he
can't give me the answers I want, then I'll just go with someone else.
Okay. So you feel like a cold chill run down your spine and
you hear, all right, so what are we doing? You see Sault
standing like right next to you. He says, somebody said they needed me.
What's going on? What are we doing? What are we doing?
What do we got? And you see as Matt Damon turney, he's whispering
to is this something about the stolen identity? I don't know, just figure
it out? This is And he turns and he goes, all right,
so which one of you is getting sued? He scans like the whole group,
and definitely as he's asking the question, just looks right at Crystal.
It's not this all kind of feels a little disrespectful. She is our client
and so she is our priority. So she needs to be treated in a
certain way so she's not annoying, and her needs are valid, and she
needs to get her business back and her cell phone back, and we need
the highest form of legal support that we can get. Okay, here's what
we're gonna do. We're gonna get your phone back. We're gonna get your
identity back. You are, Crystal, I am, thank you. Oh
my god, this is gonna be so easy. You already believe it.
She is. I don't get it. I am, I'm Taylor's You're doing
great. This is gonna be a slam dunk. All right. So first
things first, we need to we need to sit down with their lawyers and
see what it is they want. So I'm gonna see if I can get
some kind of thing scheduled. Can I see the paperwork? Amen? Hands
it over, through it and he goes, okay, Okay. They got
a lot of evidence, like what I'm gonna have to research into this.
They've entered something called us A whatever that cell phone thing you were talking about.
They've entered that into evidence, right, but not her entire agent.
When what was When did the evidence start for her? What's the date?
There's no, there's no date. They just have different articles of evidence.
I got to go review all this, Okay, saw that they submitted it,
like they still have the cell phone or now the legal system has the
cell phone. No, it is in their possession of the legal offices.
And by chance we were to obtain the original cell phone. You are not
going to steal the cell phone. I didn't say I was going to do
that. I'm all I said. If by chance we did it came into
our la, I have it on it. If we found it on the
ground somewhere, should we take it to you. If you find it on
the ground, you should ignore it and then tell me about it, because
that's how evidence works. You don't steal other people's evidence figure out against them
in court. It's that simple. Let me do my job. Fine,
okay, you guys just try to stay out of trouble until I can get
some kind of meeting scheduled with the other side, when you sit down at
a table with our legal representation and we can discuss this like civilized humanoid beings.
All right, so let me let me work on this. And you're
gonna be at the crow's nest, right that's where you guys are staying.
Yep, that's right, all right, Let me work on this. I'll
see what I can do. Don't put for the love of the gods,
don't do anything stupid. Listen. If you can't get a meeting scheduled,
then the next I don't know twenty four hours. I don't think we can
be held responsible for something allegend that just sounds like, you know it a
you problem. It's like, well, a you problem will quickly become a
Crystal problem. But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I've
got a lot of work to do. I'm gonna go see what I can
get accomplished. Sounds great, All right, Crystal, do you need anything
else? I think that's it. I just want to be assured that this
will go away and I will get myself in back. Great, No need
to take this offline. Overworked and underplayed will circle back after these messages.
So we're trying to get home within the next two weeks. Is that our
goal? You think? Preferctly quicker? But yes, I wonder if okay,
So I want to talk to them away. So it's like not super
obvious. It sounds like they're like popping champagne and oh no, not you
have to leave, but popp up bottles. Yeah, they're popping bottles.
I was at the I wasn't with y'all. I was at the Bluego terminal.
So she'll bring us to you to go back to I'm sorry about that.
Mean too. All right, So beet boop, beeat boop, bluegle
terminal. What can I do for you? I just want to look up
how old Matt Damon is. It says here Matt Jaymon the fourth. He
is fourteen hundred and thirty two years old as of this year. All right,
cool, thanks guy, Yeah, I'll tip him like gold. He
like a single tear like rolls down his face. He's like, what is
this for being a cool guy? And I just walk off. Oh thanks,
thanks mister. I'm gonna single handle and destroy the economy he just started.
So the group reconnects. Yeah, so guys, I just want to
revisit and Richard, I know this is your Bailey Wick, So I don't
mean to. I just want to do some spitballing because I'm full on pizza
and I got some ideas. So we want to get home, right,
that's right. And what we have been trying to do is find these artifacts
from the place that we're pretty sure the portal that brought us here came from.
Right, that's our understanding. So Fizzle Bang has like one major component
of that. Right, So he's got the bulb and the the thing,
the projector how many other things are there total, Richard. So there's this
crystal of arge that's the next one, and then three others, three others.
So I'm just thinking, you know, it's probably it's taken us like
three weeks roughly to get here. I'm starting to get a little bit worried
that I'm not going to be back home for Christmas, So I really want
to, like, what can we do to like EXPERTI maybe is there like
somebody we could go talk to that's like outside of this chain of command?
And since now we're getting a bunch of money one hundred and fifty goal a
week, that's an incredible amount of money, especially if we pool it all
together, what if we like find a witch or somebody to like help us
like get back. That's such a good idea. More I don't know,
we just hadn't explored that yet. What do you think, Richard? You
can tell me if I'm wrong. What do you think? I think that
I wish we had that idea a couple of weeks earlier, because like now
we have. That's true, we cannot have afforded it, but now they
have the items, so we have to somehow get the items from them.
And then I guess, I know, are you saying we don't need the
items? Like maybe there's another way completely Well, I've just maybe there's another
way that because I'm like, I can't remember I think I was telling you.
I'm a little suspicious now of how excited they are from, you know,
us killing that spider Man, and I feel like they're not going to
actually let us go home even when we do give them all the items.
So what if we bribe? That's a great idea. Do we know how
much he makes a week? Probably don't we could pay Consideringugle pays us what
so probably more than we could pay considering Well, you never know. Maybe
I feel like this chain of thought is a little bit of a waste of
time, and we'll start running around the circles and have nothing to show for
it, and also piss off the people that are helping us, or we
could do both continue doing what we're doing. But also when we're trapesing around
the woods again, I assume that's where witches are. You just got to
find a trailer of gum drops and yeah, and you know, get another
get a witch consultant or something rich to like help us out. You look
like a child. Now, just follow anything you find, Like, wait
a minute, you're on the same things. That's all. That's I'll just
want to bring that up because it's taken us a long time to get here,
and now we're about to have a lot of money. Can we hire
another halfling with us so we can have Hansel and Gretel and see if that
goes. Yeah, so while we continue to do both things, find a
witch and yeah, you know, Richard's original plan always was to double cross
bloogle, right. Yeah, but anyway, so let's think about we got
to get Crystal. Do you really need the physical phone? Like everything you
have an iPhone? Right, everything's backed up to I cloud, Like,
do you really need do we have a cloud in this? I'm just saying,
once we get home, you don't need the phone anymore. If we're
if we're prioritizing getting home, awesome. Cool. But also at the same
time, she's not gonna be happy knowing someone in this world is well.
So here's my second idea. The reason I asked that is they made it
clear they don't want us to steal it. Maybe we don't, like we
just get to it. You know, your phone's password. You can delete
all the stuff off of the physical phone. You can change the password if
they try to use it in the court and they can't even get into the
phone anymore. That's so we don't steal it. We just reset the password.
Yeah. I don't like that, okay, because we have to go
to the church. We got to get this crystal, and maybe we can
get Fizzle Bank to tell us what the other items are. So we're not
doing this one by one. That would be great, that's kind of annoy
do things one by Yeah, let's split the party and go after different ones.
Yeah, yeah, that sounds like so well, it would never backfire,
Are you joking now, Bentley? Never in the history of adventuring gone
poorly. Yeah, no, okay, I mean I'm not mad at that
idea. I just am annoyed because like she still has all this information on
me, and I want to make sure that if what if you put bad
ideas in there, like we changed the password, like she's your stuff,
you put like bad things in well, clearly let's get Jazz got traction,
so it doesn't matter if they're bad ideas. Hard to argue that one,
Hey, uh, Taylor Jacobs, can I get a wisdom saving with advantage
this time you've been You've been working on that. Have all good ideas all
the time, you have like you know, you learn. Oh yeah,
that's a ten. You know. However you want to handle that one.
I'm sure I I don't know that Taylor would take that one too well,
but that's your call. She's also heard it a bunch of times at this
point. Have they had that conversation You've said it, You said it once,
but I'm pretty sure that Crystal just ignored it. Okay, Yeah,
I don't think we've had the conversation that it was. So this is like
the third time she's mentioned something about it. Maybe Taylor looks visibly a little
in comfy, Crystal does not notice untiluing on. We can plant bad ideas,
but I don't know if that'll be effective, but we can try it.
Yeah. Yeah. The real question is does Crystal actually know her eye
Cloud password or she just unlocked? Oh no, she knows. That's her
livelihood, that is her entire hustle. Her password is something she knows.
Okay, I only say that because I know like five people who are like
that, and we're banking on the fact that the fake. Crystal doesn't know
enough about technology to realize there's a password reset. I would imagine, not
like if she was able to just get in with face, she wouldn't even
need to know. Yeah, let me look at this weird technology and then
I could reset. We could reset the facial idea to mine. That's right,
Okay, I like it. That's smart. All right? Cool?
So what time of the day is it? Uh, I'm say it's in
the evening, in the evening, so we can rest up and then start
freshen in the morning and kick some Church of clarity. Ass Wait, sounds
good. It's a long rest, all right. So you guys make it
back to the Crow's nest. It's the usual evening crowd. There's some piano
music playing in the background, and you guys make it to bed safe and
sound and rest in you know, moderate moderately comfortable surroundings. I'd like to
say before we actually go to bed, and I'd probably previous nights as well.
Ever, since that thing got stolen, it's like, okay, we're
making sure we're tying knots. We have a system in place so that next
time I'm Bentley doesn't let someone's take somebody's touff. So just that traumatic backstory.
I'm glad bedroom. What did you say, So I'm glad I have
my own bedroom. I'm sure that's something to do with his traumatic backstory that
I think one day we're gonna wake up and Bentley's not going to be in
the room anymore because he got kidnapped and we have no idea. All right,
so you guys wake up the next day. Doesn't appear like anything was
stolen. Thank god. You guys do notice a change of Bentley, right,
I'll just say because he doesn't see himself yet. His eyes have changed
to where they're kind of like more slit like and have gold rings around them
or sorry, brass was as slit like? Does that mean dragon vertical like
lizard eye? We have a horizontal slip yeah, not like an octopus dragon
said? His eyes looking draconic and are like there still is normal eye.
Killers was the sinner. But I have like brass colored rings, and he's
also got like part of his hair it's kind of changed a little bit to
a brass color. Weird. He had like some white ship right when we
were in the Spider Verse. Some weird thing happened to his hair, and
now this is happening, guys. I think maybe Bentley's going through some slow
development, like I've completely changed, Crystal's completely changed, Taylor's completely changed.
Maybe Bentley's sure right right, Maybe Bentley's has just taken a little bit longer
than the rest of it. Actually, what are you talking about? Are
you have you taken to look in a mirror what Bentley looks? We have
a mirror. So we will come back to this in a second. So
you all woke up, Bentley's came downstairs. The rest of your waking up,
Taylor Jacobs. Yes, when you wake up, something feels weird,
you feel off. Oh god, I hope I don't have a ut I
that does suck, I will say. And when you stand up, when
you stand up, everything in the room seems like it's a little higher up
than you remember. Okay, okay, Amyen, did everyone else go down?
Because Amy push up still when Taylor wants to clip on her back like
she does every day. Yeah, So, Amyen, as you're doing your
push ups and you hear Taylor say something, you turn hey, and you
are completely in shock because Taylor Jacobs has two legs. Oh my god,
how do you feel did she have pants on? That's a good question.
Hanging out? God, shirt the poo in it. I get up and
I grab something off and wrap it around you. You are human, so
you look you look down, and you're you're completely in shock. Your legs
are human legs. Does she look like Selma Hyek or not? She looks
like Taylor Jacobs. Okay, all right, oh god, Taylor? Do
you feel okay? What happened? I don't crave apples. That's a great
stat Bossome, But what I mean? Did you you just wake up like
this? Yeah? She just woke up. This is so good. This
is so good. I felt so like, you know, not myself.
Yeah, not in my own body this entire time. Yeah, I can't
believe it. I'm so happy. I'm happy for you. But I'm also
really concerned because this means something. It has to, just because she is
still really jacked. Okay, so she doesn't quite look like Taylor Jakes.
Yeah you know, your legs are pretty are pretty defined as well. Okay,
okay, the but she's unders human human legs. Okay, dang?
All right, Well if you feel okay, I mean I feel fine.
Insight perceptions, sure, something. Can I tell if somebody's tampered with something?
Oh you know what she got? What was? What was? I
rolling? Insight? Your choice? All right, well it's a natural nineteen
nice was like one or two or something. So you look and you're like,
it's there. It's not like there's any like surgical marks or anything like
that. And you don't see signs of what you would assume to be magic
or anything. It's just it's it's, you know, just weirdness. Okay,
wow, Taylor, I'm happy for you. Hold on a second.
Let me look at my bag. And I start looking through my bag looking
for my snack shorts. It's like I thought I had some other shorts to
give you, but here's some sweatpants. Thank you. But nothing literally says
nothing. But what would they say? What would they say, Jimmy,
because I was looking for this. It's tasty with to ease wild. It's
Italian. I didn't know you're a fan of my gosh and I get so
much. Hey, hey, hate mails, still engagement. We don't want
to be that kind of brand. I was just having this conversation. Sorry,
Okay, thank you so much for having all of these like spare clothes
and medical. It's really generous of the DM have a Mara Poppins stop bag
situation. So heavy? Is that? What's happening? What in her own
Crystal was in her own room, was in his own room to me and
Richard used to share a room, but now Jimmy's gone, So I guess
Richard has his own room. He does people sharing rooms or YouTube? Yeah,
yeah, we are fruit. Look at you get to split that per
diem when you get back, right. So Taylor is super excited, so
she's gonna like tie the sweatpants, run around barefoot, banging on everyone's doors.
Look a look at my ass. It's a normal ass hr don't look
family, just Crystal. I guess it's still social assent anyway, it's not
gender never. So Crystal gets woke it up by this like aggressive door banging,
and she just screams with Joy on the other side, and she like
opens her door and she's cranky because it's morning time and she hasn't had her
monsule locked I remembered, and she's like, Taylor, what's different? What's
going on? I was gonna take a second look down picture like the same
just in case in the time that she walked over, she got back full
horse, and so like, I guess Crystal realizes, Oh, well,
if you could have done that this entire time, why didn't you. That's
like if you're like super stressed out and someone's like, just don't worry about
it. I don't actually know how it happened. If I did know,
I probably would have tried done it before. Now. Oh yeah, okay,
I thought you just wanted to be a horse. I mean I no,
Oh, I like the way I'm gonna like she's going to cast detect
magic to see if there's like some can she specifically do it on her ass,
just to see. You cast detect magic, and you do sense some
kind of faint magic around Taylor, but you can't. It doesn't detect as
any particular school, or as a spell or any or an enchantment or anything
like that. But there is something vaguely arcane about her situation. I'm going
to like walk around Taylor and like swat at the space where her horses are.
It's a really good idea. And also, yeah, just like to
see if it's just invisible. Okay, So Taylor, as you swat,
you almost feel like phantom limb syndrome. Right, Like you're so used to
there being something there that it's like weird, Like you almost feel like you
feel something but there's nothing there. Oh, that was weird. It feels
like there's still something there to me even though it's gone. Well, i'd
imagine you did lose two limbs and a whole digestive tract. Probably as you
guys are conversing about her newly lost limbs and digestive tracking, you guys hear
the sounds of somebody, like some faint talking, and somebody coming up the
stairs and coming around the corner. You see Saul. He says, Oh,
good, you're awake. Looking right at Crystal, he says, I
got us an appointment for this morning. This morning. Yes, the opposing
legal counsel want to sit down and hopefully we can. They want to resolve
this thing without going to court. Do but they're the ones that set up
the court part. Well, they're the ones who filed suit on behalf of
their client. Yes, so court. They want to have us sit down
and us try to hash this thing out. Okay, smells like a settlement,
it does. What are their terms? Do you know they would have
had to file a documentation stating whether or not their intention like what their intentions
are? You have to file that with the court system. No, there's
no, I don't have anything like that, he says. They just they
they are asking for a attempt at arbitrage, like arbitross, like the bird.
No, that's albatross. That's what I said. Okay, they they
want us to sit down with them. So we're gonna go because this is
probably your best bet. My you're see that's not what a girl wants to
hear from her attorney. Well, we don't know until we go. All
right, whatever, Okay, yeah, fine, what time now? Oh
well I haven't had my coffee yet. Well order it to go. Fine,
So she puts on a pant suit? All right, yes, because
like what else is she I'm gonna say that you have You've had enough time
in town. You probably acquired a pant suit. I definitely wore one to
my last promotion. Like yeah, so she has one, and then you
see a Saul turns and he looks at at Taylor. He goes, did
you do something different with your hair? It's my legs? Oh well look
at that. Do you know how this could have happened. Actually, I
was about to ask you who you used, like some kind of specialist or
something like what kind of surgery they have those here? I don't know.
I just assume anything's possible. I literally saw an elephant fly through the air
one time. Wow, that wingspan must have been insane, or it's just
Dumbo the ear span? God? Is there a special I could talk to
about this? Potentially, not right now, obviously we have to that's a
little outside of my uh my wheelhouse. But we got to get to this
meeting. Can you get the rest of your group together or are they going
to be doing their own thing? I'll go ask wheels up in five sounds
good, So Taylor will go around to the other rooms. Tell him what's
references? This way a lean rich Richard together. Because I was trying to
figure out what the fuck happened to me, and they were like searching around
for mirrors and ship I'm like, oh, that's weird. That is weird.
Two weird things and one there's too many weird things for this mark.
I still don't know what you're talking about. What about them? They're not
the dreamy they usually are. They look like they look different, look different.
Okay, is there a mirror at the end of the hallway at the
end of the run of them into the hallway and freak out because his eyes
look, Oh my god, my eyes are weird. What's going on?
Because I don't I don't know. Then yeah, all it is is eyes
look more draconic like, and then I don't want to do here. Yeah,
we'll say there's like a little bit of his hair is not like a
brass color. So now he has frosted tips. No frosted tips. Roll
for frosted tips. Like, keep trying to do this. I'm burning a
good omen because I do not want frost that's fair. We want you to
have frost tips so bad. That's a ten. I don't know what elseide
it has? Well, then roll of regular D twenty as well. Thirteen.
Oh that's your unlucky number. You got frosted tips at least bronze.
You can you can describe it however you want. I love tips. Fine,
he has brass colored frosted tips. Yeah, you're okay with sure,
but hates every second of it and now wants to shave his head. Hey,
it could be a choice. Yeah, you can start over some of
us can't before it magically grows. All right, So he's got brass brass,
brass bros, not brass, bronze, bronze tips, bronze, scary
eyes, and Taylor Jacobs missing some limbs. Richard, What I'm like,
Richard different because we're playing a game. Richard, You different? Richard,
Amy and Crystal are still how they look at this still would love to be
human again. That would make our case so much better. We have to,
Oh, that's a good idea. We have to figure out what caused
these weird changes, and then maybe we can get our Crystal to look the
way she used to look. Yeah, okay, but also we have a
meeting with Crystal's attorney and then also the other side of the legal situation wheels
up in probably two and a half minutes. Now, Okay, do we
all need to be there? I'm definitely going. Yeah. People have not
been super nice to Crystal long I've been here. I don't know if you
notice, but that has to stop. That does have to stop. So
I would be going, does anyone else want to go? I'll stick with
these two. I feel like we need to be a united front. Okay,
let's go. What do you think, Richard, I can't think of
some other thing that we could be doing simultaneously right the second, so I
think we should go with them. A gratitude today keeps the haters away,
and that's why we want to thank you for listening to Overworked and Underplayed.
