Speaker 1: You are listening to table story.
Speaker 2: Well, now, I reckon, I ought to tell you a story
at a little office that handles things nobody else will
you know? A supernatural super unnatural haunting sexes. The whole
list is rather long, and we don't have near enough
daylight for that. What you need to know is this
ain't no script here. We make it up as we go, music, sounds, etc.
It's all produced for you live like magic and it
being a scary story and all I'm assuming it will
have all the things scary stories do. But I'm just
guessing here because of it being improvised, and all all
I know is with this cast, well it's probably gonna
be brutal, violent and have enough moral decay to make
our therapists quit. You got one of those, right, good,
so use your brain. Okay, it's gonna be scary, strange
and dumb as hell. Oh off you?
Speaker 3: And yeah, so I was y'all just dashed on me
and the hell's yell uh hello and office where they
just send everybody if shit? All right, Well, I don't
get myself some offy and keeping the handles that little
doll anyway, missen, Do I even see the doll see
you with the SI man. They're gone to okay? Cool?
Why did you send me where they're not? I haven't
talked to anybody here. I don't understand how this place works.
Still one of these and you don't know badge, I
said i'd join you. I damn it whatever. I don't
know how long I've been awake you. I don't know
why I want to talk to this No one's here. Yeah,
that's what I get for talking to monitors all day?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Could I be any more confused? All right? Well, I
need something to eat. I think I remember, we don't
get even hungry here, but I feel my peckage, or
think I do. I opened the door to the pantry, which,
oh I left this one from last time. Well, if
it's cursed, it's delicious, so I don't care. Mm hm,
where the hell did everyone go?
Speaker 2: Oh? I'm so sorry I have to interrupt you here.
I'm not actually here, but I'm interrupted. Did you open
the door to the pantry just now or were you
thinking you were gonna and then you saw the pop
tart thing on?
Speaker 3: I just I just saw it on the desk.
Speaker 5: Guy.
Speaker 3: I went forward the door and there was nothing there yeah,
because nothing there up here, I should say, I just
popped on and toward it.
Speaker 2: Okay, please continue. There's no one, no sign to anyone. Actually,
there's maybe some paper littered on a cache's desk. Who
is in fact, I think your desk partner is in
your desk is directly a cross from a coffee Let
me look at the chairs here. No, we ain't, nope
and I ain't yep, yep. There are papers on the
back right hand corner desk there directly across from gym.
All right, well, okay, right, so if you will, you
can get nosy, but if not, that's fine too.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I would it'd be good to get nosy,
but it also probably be good to not, you know,
carry this on me as I set the cookbook down.
Oh yeah, that's right, which I I did want to
take a peek at.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay. Uh So you set the cookbook down, you
look around, see that there's nobody else in here, you're
eating a pop tart, and then you decide to touch
this book and open it.
Speaker 3: I mean I've been touching it.
Speaker 2: I mean like you're going to open the cover.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was very I was intrigued by it kind
of make me think there was something. Oh god, I'm
trying to remember exactly what what had tempted me at
the time. I think it was just that I could
obtain better love.
Speaker 2: I think it was knowledge, right, curiosity was grabbing you.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 6: You're right.
Speaker 3: I saw the tarot cards in it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and then you were like, now, wait a second,
it's weird.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'd like to off with to the first page.
It's usually a table of contents in these things. You know,
if you got the recipes you see like the breakfast foods,
the breads, that desserts, the meats, you know that. So
I'm figuring maybe someone was organized.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna need you to roll. Probably that is
so fun to say, Southern, I'm gonna need you to roll.
That was like one word.
Speaker 6: No, it was kind of just.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna need you. Yeah, what would.
Speaker 2: You're going to be rolling your main staff, which I
believe for you, soul sir, Bread.
Speaker 3: Was making sure there wasn't anything that tied into it,
though I don't well, there is still the dipolmine details
as always.
Speaker 2: I don't think that that fits. But if you want
to have any other bullshit. Now is the time to
throw that at me. Well, anything that protects you from
weird things like magic.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, if I'm lucky, then the shift when
it tinges on chance, that's I'll always ask for that one.
Speaker 2: Okay, actually I will accept that in this instance. All right, congratulations,
that's a good Lauren.
Speaker 3: Thank you. That is five percent, so that would put
me right at a thirty you know.
Speaker 2: Shit for one hundred kidding me.
Speaker 3: I'm not, but I am immediately going to not just
accept that.
Speaker 2: Well, you can't. It's another worldly reckoning. You can can't
reroll when it's omens are reckoning. My good sir, you're stuck.
Speaker 3: Let me see it now, hold on, because I thought
the word of one of these said otherwise maybe oh
so so maybe no, no, this might be more lawyer
in here, all right, because I didn't have to deal
with people like this all the time, not you specifically
the law.
Speaker 2: And people like this. Okay, yeah, all right.
Speaker 3: Once a session. I can't flip the percentiles digits and
it just says save for omens. This says another worldly reckoning.
Speaker 2: It is see look at the look at the role
that oh you don't have your glasses on it says.
Speaker 3: I have context other worldly reckoning, not omen well.
Speaker 2: Omen or other worldly reckoning. Those are like just a
safe for omens. I promise you you can't. Okay, all,
I appreciate that you tried. M h, this is crazy.
Speaker 3: I'll say lucky. That's one.
Speaker 2: You think it's pretty lucky. So here's what we're gonna do.
You needed to do this, of course, it's playing the
Nocturne song. When you do this, isn't that weird? Can
think like twice? Okay? Anyway, and you have another character
that has a book, how dare you? Okay? Can you roll?
That's right, you don't, but we do. Can you roll
two major burn table rolls? Please?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 2: Oh boy?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 3: If I sleep, I'll die? Okay admittedly that I mean
not tracks anyway. We don't really sleep in here, so
I'm okay with that for the moment. Yeah, I got
my coffee. Okay, but I'll do another one, as you noted.
Speaker 2: So for those listening, what it is, Oh shit, wow,
that's that's or lucky, depending on how you view it.
So the first role was splintered. You're convinced that if
you sleep, you'll die, which is a minus ten. To
mind rolls until he manages to get it cleared. The
next one he rolled was an eight rolled, which is
magic number. Roll twice for everything, and take the worst, which.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: That that just sounds like crabs to me. I always
got a roll twice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are pretty hurridic.
Speaker 3: Don't but you know, might as well say it anyway.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I have an offer for you.
Speaker 3: Now for the next part, bomb mats.
Speaker 2: What is the scariest thing that you would find in
this book but also something you couldn't look away from
you personally? Hear like, I mean it opens, you were saying,
like a table of contents. This is not a standard
traditionally published book. This is somebody's land writing. I mean
my first thought was like, it's going to be detailed
with your life, like in those first pages, like born whatever,
And it takes you second to really realize it's written
about you, and it would have like your genealogy. But
I don't know if you would find that kind of
information frightening.
Speaker 3: No, not with it. Not in this office. Honestly, I
already looked at a profile that had a lot of that,
but that wouldn't necessarily be that much more off putting,
But I think the main thing that probably what would
be is that it's an entire log of when I'd
worked and it's clearly someone observing me. Yeah okay, when
I was the one who was doing the observing. But
it's just a detailed log of everything I ever did,
every single day, holy during the entirety of my employment
as a surveillance.
Speaker 2: Okay, then I agree it has that, but I also
think it goes back like four generations, so you don't
really realize what's happening is you start flipping through. It's
got dates and then it all ends with you in this.
Speaker 3: Book when you say four generations as in like my father,
his father, his father, uh, and and details on if
it's surveillance for me and my my employment, it also
is every day like observing me throughout my life kind
of thing.
Speaker 2: Clarify, I think like when it start, it goes back
for generations, but that stuff isn't as detailed, Like as
you're reading it, it becomes very clear that this was
all in preparation for your arrival. So the details are like,
you know, born this date, you know, kind of does
this meets this person has you know? And then it's
short up until you and then the day you're born,
it's got like everything you've ever done, got it.
Speaker 3: It's like a research research on the subject. You're going
to be observant. Yeah, and then the detail I wass Yeah,
that would definitely be very disturbing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, first word it has. It has maybe thoughts you
didn't even realize you had to, like yeah, uh, you know,
starts problem solving stuff like that. Like it's very detailed
as to who you are and how you.
Speaker 3: Think, you know, in my process of watching people and
looking for tales and all that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then as you flip through, I imagine that
you're starting to flip faster as it's like our detail.
Speaker 3: The more closer it gets to modern current events, I
would be absolutely I'm flipping toward right before I got
picked up by the cops. Yeah, because now I'm curious
on knowledge on why I got arrested.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it will ooh, this is interesting. It will give
you detail that you were arrested, but it's not necessarily
saying why you were arrested, just almost as if an
observer was watching your life but had no extra detail
beyond it. So surveillance style However, it does end when
you are apprehended, and after you're intercepted by the office,
it doesn't have any more information regarding you. Now, I
need you to roll me at one six.
Speaker 3: Want in personal Yeah, I'm fine with that.
Speaker 2: I trust you. No, I shouldn't.
Speaker 3: I do you say that? But before or.
Speaker 2: Okay. There are a couple of spells in this book.
They all seem to be related to necromancy of some type,
dealing with the dead, bringing the dead to laugh, reanimating
things like that, healing. There's some healing shit in here,
because dealing is necromancy magic.
Speaker 3: Actively yes, yeah, biology. So I found myself an necronomicron apparently, Yeah,
pretty much. Great, Well then that's a rather special Yeah.
Speaker 2: I also think we're gonna put a twist on the
if you sleep, you'll die.
Speaker 3: I think I don't. We don't sleep. That's why I
was that that one seems. I mean, it has the
minus tend of mine rules. But I'll be honest, I
don't make those very often.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fine. I think that you should have the
minest end of mind. I'm not gonna get official honest
into your best stat but what I will say is
you're convinced that if you lose this book you will die,
which makes it more curse related to the book.
Speaker 3: That wouldn't make sense that I would track with that.
All right now, full my own edification.
Speaker 2: It's a good word edification.
Speaker 3: Sorry, no, it's one of my favorites. That and indefatigable.
But nonetheless, well, how do you get rid of Major Boone?
I do not recall.
Speaker 2: That's because I don't think we ever talked about it,
at least not yet.
Speaker 3: I knew Mina Boone we did, which was eating and
resting a little, but Major Boone I don't think we did.
So I am most curious.
Speaker 2: Yeah, major burn and you wouldn't know this, hair wouldn't
know this. But I'm telling you, out of character, Harry,
Harry the third that you know you're gonna need either
a ritual or a spell or somebody who knows something,
or you're going to need to go to a sanctuary
that can remove it specifically for you. Right, That's all
I will say.
Speaker 3: No, that's now completely fair.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I will say, you don't know that this
has happened to you?
Speaker 3: Correct you?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 3: This was full.
Speaker 2: I think it's just like you get magically hit somehow,
like you're feeling the magic from this book, But it's
more like, you know, maybe a gust of wind and
your your hair blows back a tiny bit, maybe you
get some gray in your beard or something that you
don't know right away. Something does happen to you, but
it's still.
Speaker 3: Something I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, And didn't hurt not hurt you. No pain yet?
Speaker 3: Okay, right, well pain existential verses, yeah, physical, but again
I don't know nothing.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now you will find the cards as well.
Speaker 3: Ah, yeah, they warn't I lusory.
Speaker 2: Do you remember what those numbers were?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 2: You don't write anything down.
Speaker 3: I don't know whether you do, that's the question.
Speaker 2: I do. There is a specific ability in this system
that I made for all the gms out there, that's
like I don't remember and I didn't write it down.
So if you don't have that ability, I'm not telling
you shit.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, that's completely fair. God expect as much perfect.
I do believe imber. I believe I remember in eleven
snake Eyes, which would make sense, and I thought I
remembered the four as well. Now I'm not sure. I'm
not as confident on the four the eleven I do
believe though, which now that I'm thinking, I know, because
Arror doesn't have it, Livens it is one through ten
and then squiet night, Queen King.
Speaker 2: You do have you do have the major Arcana, which
is up to twenty two or something like that olderigis
but I can't recall right off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't remember those being numbered, though they are
remembered on some day some days, Okay, that's why I
didn't remember that. No, then, you know, for the sake
of it, I think it's only fair that at least
I give myself one eight and a three. Okay, eight
because of the major bod and I saw that and
figured that that fits, and then and then a three.
I mean, I don't, but I also do collect triangles,
so I figure three might as well.
Speaker 2: So for now, in this book, you're gonna find two
cards that may not match what Gus has in the photograph.
Just so we're all clear, because this is what you
were finding right now after you did your otherworldly role.
You said it was a three as well, right.
Speaker 3: Eight and a three?
Speaker 2: Yes, I think the three is the Empress. I think
that's my favorite card.
Speaker 3: M Yeah, I'm not, I know Taro and I don't
at the same time, very inconvenience and inconvenience.
Speaker 2: Hold on, I'm looking it up because this is important.
This is as chat has mentioned a puzzle of sorts
for another day. Maybe yeah is strength. Okay, So for
those listening and unfamiliar with Taro, I'll go ahead and
describe the cards here. So the first card that you
pull out has the eight on it, and I think
there's maybe a moment where you trace the eight with
your finger because it feels like an important number for nity. Yeah, uh, possibility.
You do see a woman that is leaning over a lion.
The lion seems relaxed in her presence. She's holding his
jaws open, and she does have the Infinity symbol above
her head, almost like a halo. And then the other
card that you look AT's gonna be strength. Wait, no,
that is strength. The third is the Empress. So you're
gonna see a woman sitting on a throne. It's very ornate.
Her robes are blue, and they're not as ornate as
the throne behind her or the staff that she is
holding in front of her. She looks at pace and
her eyes are looking directly at the viewer of the card,
and her hair is fair like either a blonde or reddish.
It's hard for you to tell.
Speaker 3: Now this one, I am ritting down for your information,
just because they're now on my person.
Speaker 2: So you're going to keep them with you?
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I have to keep this book with me.
So if they came with the book, I feel like
that's tied.
Speaker 2: You can talk them in. They're all allow it.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well that that wasn't what I was even implying,
but I will do that.
Speaker 8: Then.
Speaker 3: All right, let's see here and those two items perfect.
Speaker 2: Now what else do you do?
Speaker 3: Well, now that I've done that and kind of given
them the thing, after I look and see that it's
caught up and weirdly, that does actually reassure me. I
went from feeling anxious, which isn't normally how I feel.
Admittedly I don't like it. It's not stress, it's just
wasted energy. But after seeing that the surveillance, whoever was
doing this is unable to once I hit this office, well,
I mean it kind of was writing my whole life
off at that point anyway, So being protected it fields,
so the anxiety starts to slip a little. Yeah, that
something else is blocking it, whatever the hell that was,
or or something maybe lost interest. I have no idea,
or maybe it couldn't get me anymore if it was
trying to recruit me like that other thing was in
the interrogation room. The mercurial, I believe, was what you
had called them. Yeah, well alter had called them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. All right, I will give you I've
written this down so you don't have to. You do
have four spells in that book, ranging in complexity here,
two of which are healing spells, So I will give
those to you at a later date. I have to
go through and pick them, but you do have no
available to you.
Speaker 3: Very very nice, all right, Okay, I might I ask
a favor of those spells. If you're picking them out,
I think you'll appreciate the favor more than anything else.
I would not like them to be consistent.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they're not. I'm going to randomly roll and.
Speaker 3: No, no, I mean the outcome. So if I cast
a healing spell and it's supposed to knit a bone,
it might not knit it all the way, but it
may heal the skin and around it fully instead of
just the bone. So a little bit of randomness to it.
I do like I do like things not being predictable.
Speaker 2: So that's actually kind of the way that measure works.
If you don't do it right and you don't roll well,
and you don't do all the ingredients as per follows,
it's not going to go exactly as you plan. And
even so, if you follow this recipe to a t
and it doesn't mean to you what it meant to
the person who wrote it, then it might not work anyway.
So there's a chaoffs in that already.
Speaker 3: All Right, fair enough, I'd kind of meant even if
it does go fully successfully, but I will, I mean,
it wouldn't hurt, no no harm in fully success, but
maybe not the full outcome you'd expect. That's that's totally fine, though,
if there's already chaos in there, yeah, I just it's
no fun if you know exactly what will happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's never the case, all right, Lessons, Maybe something
very simple and you've done it a hundred times and
it only requires like a big lighter or something.
Speaker 3: It's sure, But that's the only gambling is even if
you've done something a hundred times, one of that hundred.
Speaker 2: Will, I mean the worst role imaginable?
Speaker 3: Right is that the third time? But both of the
other ones would guss?
Speaker 2: I think so? Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 3: That seems interesting to me.
Speaker 2: Well, do you notice anything in this office while you're
sitting here? That's kind of a trick question, but.
Speaker 3: No, I no, I like it. It's all this door open, Yeah,
it sure is. That would be what I'd be intro.
I shut the book, tuck it into my arm, and
walk into ald his office. Okay, not as a snooping, necessarily,
but more of a trying to figure out where people went,
where everyone is. I know the paper's on a Kachi's desk.
Those are my next thought here. But with all this
door open, an open door is an invitation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sure that a Kachi. Is there anything
left on the desk?
Speaker 7: I don't think so, right, I think everything that got
from your desk you colled beyond my desk yep as well.
Speaker 2: Okay, so the desk is strangely empty. However, there is
a cup of coffee that is still steaming.
Speaker 7: The picture frame.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, in the picture frame that's still that. There's
a picture frame that is turned down.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna lift it up, of course. My curiosity
has already proven itself poorly.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely. It is a very photograph. Looks to
be almost like a tin type of older and somebody
else that you don't recognize. Older gentleman has his hair
back in a low ponytail. They're laughing. And I'll put
the photograph in the discord here for you, and then
i'll put it up on the screens that y'all can
see it.
Speaker 3: Wonderful, Thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's it in terms of what's here in
the office.
Speaker 3: One other curiosity I have in this office, and I'll
let you interpret it, because this is going to be
best for you to interpret because this is it now.
This is information that Harry doesn't have. That's why I'm
wondering the book that Gus touched on his one hundred yep,
is it a skew in any way? Because I feel
like Devil in the Details might actually catch that. Ah,
like did he put it back all the way in?
I don't know if he kept it.
Speaker 2: Either, No, he did not. It is on an elevated shelf, yeah,
behind older.
Speaker 3: Uh So, like if I walk into the office, that
would be the first the first thing.
Speaker 2: One of the first things you notice. Yeah, I don't
know if you would notice that the the book doesn't
seem to have anything wrong with it, because as far
as I remember, Gus just tried to touch it.
Speaker 3: And then, okay, if he just touched I can remember
if he pulled it out and looked at.
Speaker 2: It and not, I don't I think he did, and
there were pages.
Speaker 3: It was a blank book. When he looked, he.
Speaker 2: Would look like it was touched. Then I'll allow your
devil in the details.
Speaker 3: All right, the hells I'm going to look at that.
I looked at one kidding me all right, I would
left alone to my own devices. Inn't you call me
a thief?
Speaker 2: So roll your roll your soul, you crazy individual. I
love it so much.
Speaker 3: By the wise, any shifts for this, I'll ask you.
Speaker 2: You should probably have a minus ten because you've you
already have a curse from a book. But I'm not
going to do that to you because I think it's
going to really screw you over.
Speaker 3: And it's not you already have a minus ten to mind.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's not me being nice. There's reasons for it.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, sure, okay, seventy okail so not an old moon?
Speaker 2: Can you do that again? But roll with a zero
and not a blank for the shift. Oh, I just
want to see something. I think the role is fine, okay,
I just want to make sure.
Speaker 3: Oh I do mess the accidentally remove that?
Speaker 2: Thanks you, no worries.
Speaker 3: I'm glad that doesn't change anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, sixty eight and seventy that's fine. Okay.
When you go to touch this book, I think you're
going to experience like a weird magnetism.
Speaker 3: Oh, that would be a sorry the idea. I did
look over at the other voices, and that would have
been at disadvantage because I do have to drill twice
and take the which that one.
Speaker 2: In that case, we'll count it. You were going to
experience a little bit of weird magnetism as you reach
out to touch it. It's like it's pushing back at you,
like you know, like magnets.
Speaker 3: Does the book push itself back in then, or is
it just me that's being repelled?
Speaker 2: Yep, that's absolutely right.
Speaker 3: Hmm. See it's still pushed out maybe a centimeter. I
grab the picture frame and try to poke the book
back into place, and then I put the picture frame
back face down on the desk. Yep, it bothered me.
A little bit.
Speaker 2: It's just sticking out detail about you. That's good to know.
Speaker 3: Again, it's all about the details. Oh sure, and that
one was off? Oh well, okay, so there was just
a picture frame on the on the desk, nothing else
there outside of the regular coutrement. All right, well I'm
gonna I thank you. I was.
Speaker 5: I was.
Speaker 3: There was a small part of me that was wondering
if it was good old, good old Oglethorpe.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it is not. You do not recognize this individual.
Speaker 3: It was?
Speaker 4: Was it?
Speaker 5: I was?
Speaker 3: It's Ogle. See I got it wrong again. I did
that that That name just don't stick.
Speaker 4: Right with me.
Speaker 2: You can call him Barkley.
Speaker 3: I mean, Barkley does fit and not usually what I
That's usually what I did. All right, Well it's weird.
But now I'm going to go over to a cotchie's desk.
Speaker 4: Finally.
Speaker 3: I feel like I've taken up enough time looking around
at other things.
Speaker 2: Okay, and uh, colch what does he see for front
and center?
Speaker 7: I think to see bursting huge to see imagine Gym
and Gus took the post it note with the address,
so I think the first thing you'd see is the
missing person's poster with the redactions on the desk. I
think that's it. I think everything else everyone else would
have taken. Actually, you see a missing person's poster desk.
Speaker 3: It doesn't know when you said redacted what.
Speaker 7: It looks like. It looks like sharpie's been cross it
used to cross out some stuff. But you see a
young girl probably like seven or eight years old, missing
in big capital letters above it, beneath it, something redacted
all across the bottom, and then underneath that you see
like the categories date missing from date of birth, eyes, height, weight,
and hair. But all of the details that actually follow
that I've been redacted again, looked like like a pen
or sharpie.
Speaker 3: Now, when you say a pin of sharpie, a lot
of the time is a phantom image of wording that
you can somewhat make out. Is that the same in
this case or is it very all right?
Speaker 4: Great?
Speaker 3: That's then, thank you for that. I see the image now, right,
They were very thorough. That's that was something that I
had to keep an eye out for as well, because
sometimes you can hold up to the light and see
somewhat through it. So that's that's because I do that,
I check to see sure enough, right, what else is there?
Then the hard papers?
Speaker 7: Actually I think you would see yeah, I think you
would see the notes. I actually don't think I gave
the note to you. I think it's read up their
address to the group. You see a post it note
and in and writing. See the address Resurrection Cemetery three
to sixty one Avenue one O three nine plus seventeen
and all of that is like circuldn't read?
Speaker 3: Okay, I grab that post at nodin, hold on to it.
I figure the door sends us where we need to
go when I have an address that might help out.
Speaker 5: Very good.
Speaker 3: Anything needs okay, all right? And it's probably just random
papers and things outside that aren't necessarily related or give
any other details that are necessary if okay, all right, Oh,
that would be a good thing to see. I opened
the door to many things not outside to see. My
goal is to see if the computer is there, okay,
the case computer.
Speaker 2: You don't even need to roll. You open the door
and there's nothing in here. It's just dark.
Speaker 3: Home. Is there a pitch black dark like otherworldly darkness
or just darkness.
Speaker 2: And dark like you can't see anything.
Speaker 3: I put through the whole. You know that night you
feel around for the light switch on the inside. Before
going in. I try to see if there's a light switch.
Speaker 2: It's like, weirdly, when you put your hand in and
feel for a wall, there's no wall there. It's almost
like this door opens into void. Spice.
Speaker 3: Oh I remember, Oh. I then pause, stop and look
away from the emptiness as I recall the words of
all that. Don't stare into the void. Yeah, but I
do let my side eye because that's not staring. Yep,
because the whole Josephie thing, as we also learned. So
I'm looking now with my side out to see if
you know how in the darkness you look through anyone
who grew up in the woods, Oh yeah, you would know.
Even if there's dark, sometimes movement can still trigger something.
And whether it's a survival instinct to hunt together instinct
or actual dark vision, that's something else. But now I'm
looking with my side I see if I see any movement, you.
Speaker 2: Will actually, because it's more like there's dark and then
there's something is blocking all light standing there. You know
what I mean. Growing up in the woods, you know
there's dark and then there's there's a tree or there's
something there that's changing it's solid versus the nothingness of.
Speaker 3: The air, and there is now there's there's something, there's
something blocking what tiny bit of light there could have
maybe been, and it's obscuring.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So you see one of those things that's pretty tall,
about as tall as you maybe that's kind of close
to you. And then there's another one a little bit
farther back that is much more void space, complete dark,
almost as if it's pulling light into.
Speaker 3: It, right, And the yeah, singularity kind of problem.
Speaker 2: It is still kind of like like a tree, like
it's got a long form rather than a wide one.
Speaker 3: Right, the one in back or the one in.
Speaker 2: Both of them kind of do a little bit, Yeah,
the other one of.
Speaker 3: Those to tell you right for sure, I'm looking through
sight out here, all right, Okay, hmmm, I just do
kind of this motion and just see if the void
not the void space, but the blocking the one that's
closest just has any movement, any reaction whatsoever. I'm making
great choices today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just wave your hand.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just kind of do this sort of thing.
There's no reaction, no reaction.
Speaker 6: Either.
Speaker 3: Thing that all has been worried about in the office.
Speaker 2: Oh perfect, You may answer if you like.
Speaker 7: I hear, I hear this, okay, sure you?
Speaker 3: Oh Harry, oh gotcha? Oh hey there, hey, y'all, go.
Speaker 7: What did where did you go?
Speaker 3: I just went through the door, and now everyone's knocking.
We were just talking about getting some lunch or something,
and then y'all weren't in front of me.
Speaker 5: No more.
Speaker 3: I'm in the office.
Speaker 7: We went through the door and you weren't behind us anymore.
Speaker 3: Go well, god all Timmy, whymy?
Speaker 4: I guess.
Speaker 3: Huh, well, I'm in the now you need anything? I
figure I was gonna head out and hopefully the door
sends me to where you are. I got an address
for a graveyard.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, that's where that's where Jim and Gusts are
headed to.
Speaker 3: All right, well maybe it'll send me there. Maybe it'll
send me to you. Who knows you need anything from
the office. I still haven't left yet.
Speaker 7: No, I'm I think I'm just gonna. I think I'll
head back to office with you.
Speaker 3: Oh all right, Yeah, I opened the doors of a
bit of the the everything door not to leave the
office door, and you're just kind of in a black void.
Speaker 7: I say, yeah, I'm aware of the avoid.
Speaker 3: Oh well, that's more disturbing than I thought. I thought
maybe this was just a weird liminal space in between,
which maybe it still is. Okay, well, maybe I'll stop
talking to you and let you actually get here instead
of unlet's just stuck? Are you stuck it? Wait? Hold on?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 3: What is the hell is this going on?
Speaker 7: I'm not going to walk to woods or try to
walk towards the door. So I see the light of
the door, but right, and I move my legs, but
the door isn't getting any closer.
Speaker 3: Okay, Now now that I know that, can you move?
I'm looking at my side. I'm not trying to look
strictly in there. Can you just wave your hand or something.
Speaker 2: There's a good question, Okache, how are you looking at
the light of the door, because I imagined it was
behind you?
Speaker 7: So are you I can't even tell around?
Speaker 2: Well, we can. It's how I was imagined that you
walked in. But it's entirely possible that you are tilted
a little bit and you can move. What I need
to know is do you take your eyes off of
the thing. I'm aware of the thing, the dark space
that's there here.
Speaker 7: Okay, oh boy, Okay, in that case. My whole interest
is whole differently.
Speaker 4: Good.
Speaker 2: We're doing a back up different reality.
Speaker 3: Go we can catchee?
Speaker 7: Is that that you harry? Okay? I think I might
need help.
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you need?
Speaker 7: I don't know. I'm not alone.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I kind of noticed there's something in there
kind of eating up The light.
Speaker 7: Hasn't moved yet, if it's sight think I'm looking as
best as I can look at it. Okay, And it
hasn't moved. All right, you're looking at it. You're in
between me and it.
Speaker 3: From what I can tell. Are you able to back
up at all?
Speaker 4: I can't me.
Speaker 3: You can't move? Okay. I don't know why I use
your accents for that. Uh, it's been a weird day.
Let me tell you that. Let's see here, all right.
Uh you said they were kind of close to me
in this doorway. How close? It's kind of close, like
within arms reach? A few steps?
Speaker 2: A few steps, I thank you. You will have to
cross the threshold if you want to grab them.
Speaker 3: Right, unless I take off a card again and try
to use it more like a rope or something, which
is what I do, and I'm not going to do
it for the sake of camera, because I don't want
to deal with it, but I do take off my
card again, grab a sleeve and go all right, if
you feel something, put your arms behind you. I'm going
to try to toss my cardigan out to you for
you to grab. Okay, all right, and I hold on
to the side inside this doorway since reaching in felt
like nothing, but there is solidness in the eye, and
I do kind of one of those. I don't put
my head in the door through the threshold, but I
do reach out as far as I can and try
to whip the card again toward where I think the
middle of Akatchi's back would be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't move your arms or your legs, so
my arms, I thought, Okay, I think you'll feel something
hit you.
Speaker 7: Okay, I still with just my legs. I can't move
my arms.
Speaker 3: All right, but you I thought I hit you? It
did I?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: Okay? Can you move your hands and fingers like grabbing,
squeezing anything?
Speaker 2: Yes, I think you can actually.
Speaker 7: Just just barely.
Speaker 3: But yeah, okay, I'll try a couple of times. What
I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna kind of swing
it out towards you. Now, that I know I can
reach you this way. I'm gonna try to go toward
your left hand, and if you feel something, just try
to grab all right, okay, okay, all right. And so
I'm now kind of doing the like out and back
and out and back, and doing it in a consistent
pattern time and wise, so that way Akachi can anticipate
when it might hit. And I'm sure I'll take as
long as it needs. I did not want to catch
you get here unable to move, So if it's going
to be an hour doing this, I will stand here
for a full hour doing this. I do not want
to leave Akachi alone.
Speaker 2: Bless you. That's very kind a catch. How fastened is
the mask on your belt?
Speaker 7: Oh it's fair that, I mean, as far as I guess,
I don't think, yeah, no, no, it's it's it's just
it's like a cheap plastic. It's like like this is
from like Spirit Halloween mosk. But I think it's like
a hatched by the kind of elastic that comes to
like most of marks, they're probably kind of raptil, kind
of more or less tied around about leap of that
of the chancers.
Speaker 2: Now you are actually a physics major if he is
there a chance that he's thrown this car again and
it's gonna knock that off of you.
Speaker 7: I don't imagine so, because if it's if it's touching
up for me to like walk around and not full
loft from it, like buding my side, and it's not
from my card again.
Speaker 3: Like not like whipping at him. I'm more just it's
it's yeah cart again. Yeah, but that's still that's a
good question the way.
Speaker 2: I don't know these things. That's why I would ask. Okay,
then we're gonna pause here and we're gonna switch scenes
because it's just gonna take you a while in some rolls. Sure,
but you're in a lot of danger, Harry. I appreciate.
I appreciate you, so you know.
Speaker 3: Well. Thanks.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, somewhere in New York in year nineteen forty seven, right, yeah, November,
I think right, that's right for yeah, second, that's right. Wow,
I got a right. What's going on, Jim.
Speaker 6: I'm making my way down.
Speaker 2: The stream perfect, uh huh.
Speaker 6: It's eleven fifty am at least last night checked on
my watch. Okay, heading towards the Two Stone Diner. That's right.
Speaker 4: I don't know who.
Speaker 2: Okay, Now, this two stone diner, he's one of the
coolest looking diners because they don't really have them like
this anymore, but they look like it looks like it's
like in an airstream, Like how would you describe that
Americans so that people listening can understand. It's like a bus, right,
or it's the shape of the bus.
Speaker 6: It's a double wide trailer on a concrete slab, and
the chrome is so bright the sun's reflection makes it
like a beacon. It's impossible to miss. It's so loud. Yeah,
it's got windows all around, and you can see the
waitresses bustling back and forth with trays of food and coffee.
It's lively inside. You can see the bar and the
backs of people sitting there, and it has a bit
of a vibrancy to it.
Speaker 3: It's alive.
Speaker 2: It was perfect. Thank you. Does this make you feel
any certain kind of way like at home, like, oh
this is nas.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and there's a look around. It reminds me of
happier times and some things do. I quickly catch a
glance at a deli window and I see a poster.
So send a salami to your boy in the army,
and for a brief moment, I look at that and
drift a bit, try to steady my mind back to
the task at hand.
Speaker 2: Do you imagine that you arrive early, like before her,
or do you think she's sitting there and you see
her right away?
Speaker 6: I think I can tell that she's sitting yeah, because
I can see her through the window. I've arrived on time.
Eleven fifty five. Is by the time I get there
five minutes early is on time?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I figured you were punctual. But I imagine she's
very nervous, So I imagine she was there twenty minutes early,
just sitting there. You can see she's fidgeting. It looks
like she has a cup of something but no food,
and she's looking down at her hands. She twirls her
thumbs maybe, or is picking up her hands a little bit.
Speaker 3: She just seems a bit nervous.
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh yeah. And she's got her hair done up nice.
She seems very formal for this occasion, expecting made somebody important.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sunday dress or something.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 6: I'll go ahead and make my way in and immediately
take my way to the table. Notice her, I don't
think she makes eye contact with me, but she knows
that I'm here. Missus Fiori, I'm glad you came, I said, please,
thank you. Well I got your note.
Speaker 2: I'm glad.
Speaker 6: This is all very confusing, and I'm sure you have
something to tell me.
Speaker 2: I do, but I would prefer it if you start.
Speaker 6: Why would you like me to begin?
Speaker 2: How do you know her? And I actually will make
eye contact with you this time. I lift my face up.
I look like I didn't sleep at all in the
last two days. Makeup is hanging it, but not well.
Speaker 6: Man, what I'm about to tell you is going to
shock you, and you're going to think I'm crazy.
Speaker 2: But see about that.
Speaker 6: I know your daughter because, in let's say my experience,
she'd lived. And not only did she live, we eventually
met each other at Stamford and married. She disappeared when
I came back from the war, and I'm trying to
piece it all together. But missus Fiori, we have met before.
I remember it the day I asked permission from her father.
It was five years ago. What was I like, sweet
and very excited see that she had brought a man home.
You were so kind and you insisted that I was
too skinny, and well immediately started fashioning a wonderful dinner.
What did I make, Managut? It was very good. Ricotta
was from a local deli, and everyone knew each other.
Talked a bit about family, which part of the boot
I was from, and which part of the boot you
were from, and your family hailed from, and well, it
was a good conversation. We hit it off well. But
I understand that you remember things differently about your daughter.
I visited her grave.
Speaker 2: What was she like?
Speaker 6: Like no other woman I've ever met, I couldn't describe.
Your presence was so familiar. In the first time I
met her, it felt like I had known her my
whole life. We bumped into each other when we're at
the library. I was busy as a amateur detective with
aspirations becoming also a reporter, and as we rounded the corner, well,
I didn't see her. We bumped into each other the
local library. We didn't even make eye contact until I
had stacked all the books back into her hands and
we accidentally touched hands for a moment. We looked into
each other's eyes, and that was starstruck.
Speaker 3: She tried to read.
Speaker 6: She did she was picking up books on how to
well tend to roses. She had the green thumb like
no one I had ever seen before. She tended a
rose bush and it's still there at my house. Learned
to keep it alive. It's the only thing that I've
managed to keep alive as far as a plant. Yeah, beautiful, kind, smart,
and I'm trying to figure out what's going on here.
Speaker 2: My mother had a green thumb.
Speaker 6: It's so fitting your last name, Fiori, meaning flower.
Speaker 4: I thought that was.
Speaker 6: What a coincidence. She's so good tending the flowers and
her last name is flower. But maybe you could tell
me a little bit more, if you're willing. I know
this might be difficult, but tell me a bit more
about your daughter and when you lost her.
Speaker 2: She got sick and it was a year of torture
watching her slowly wither away.
Speaker 4: And it was consumption, wasn't it?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 6: And was thereah anything that any anything that you found
odd or and that stood out I think abnormal.
Speaker 4: I guess.
Speaker 6: I'm trying to say, is that something seemed off to you?
Was it a sudden illness?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, this is very difficult for me, all right,
I need to tell you something, then you're going to
think I am crazy.
Speaker 8: What is it?
Speaker 2: She told me she was going to marry you? What
described you? She was five, Oh, I'm going to grow
up and I'm going to get married and he's going
to be this, and he's going.
Speaker 5: To be that.
Speaker 4: Did she use my name?
Speaker 2: She said, his name is Jim. That's why I didn't
want you to meet my husband. I don't know if
he remembers, but I do. I remember everything, everything she loved,
everything she was excited about, even though at the time
I thought it was just imagination, you know, kids being kids.
Little girl saying, oh, and he's going to love me
and we'll have roses by the fence.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I don't know what to say anything. This is Yoda
had only deepens the question of what's going on here?
Speaker 2: I thought I saw her once. It's grieving mother things?
Is that at the park? And I thought I saw her.
Speaker 4: What was she like when she looked at you? Was
it she?
Speaker 2: But she knew me. I ran to her, but it
was someone else. I thought I was crazy.
Speaker 6: Mam, You're not crazy. There is something going on here.
It's a reason, but I don't know what it is yet.
I I don't know what it is, but now more
than ever, I'm determined to get down to the bottom
of this.
Speaker 2: I don't care to know the reason. There is not
a reason good enough for God to rob me of
my daughter. I just no I needed to tell you.
Speaker 6: Thank you telling me this, and.
Speaker 4: That's uh.
Speaker 6: Let's keep in touch. I'll let you know if anything.
Speaker 4: Comes up.
Speaker 6: Thank you for doing this. But I know this wasn't easy.
Speaker 2: Can I look down now?
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 4: There was a this.
Speaker 6: One more question that I had. Did she mentioned anything
else besides my name?
Speaker 2: Oh? You would treat her. You don't need to worry
about me, m'am. Treat me like a princess. He'll take
care of me.
Speaker 6: Was there a happy ever after?
Speaker 2: One of the hardest things for me was not being
able to come for her at the end, not being
able to explain what was happening or why it was
happening to her. And even harder than that was when
she tried to comfort me, just a shadow of the
daughter I used to have looking up at me. Don't
worry about me, mummy, Jim will save me. I'm sorry
I seem to have forgotten my handkerchief.
Speaker 4: Here you can use mine.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 6: Thank you for telling me this. I I don't know how,
but I'll keep that promise.
Speaker 4: I swear it.
Speaker 2: I ask one more thing, anything. What were her vows?
Speaker 6: It wasn't a coincidence we bumped into each other those
years ago. You and I were destined for each other.
I didn't think much of it other than poetry. No,
I see it's much more than that.
Speaker 2: I don't think I want to see you again, Jim.
Speaker 4: That's all right, thank you.
Speaker 6: I'll leave you then. And I don't know if this
bring you any comfort, But those words that she sent
to you, it's the last thing I'll do. It's the
last thing I do. I promise to make those words
that she said true. I'll do everything in my power
to save her.
Speaker 2: That is the only comfort I have had in twenty years.
Speaker 6: Well, this is FIORI. No, I'm all right. I don't
want any coffee. That's fine, Get going anyways.
Speaker 2: Now what do you do?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 6: No, then I've left the diner spinning. So now, in
a comforting sort of way, she placed her faith in me,
and I need to be strong for her. And I
think that meeting gave me, for the first time in
my life, a purpose, a true one, because I was
lost before. I didn't know if I was meant to
find her or meant to help her. But now I
know I wasn't so sposed to let it go. I
wasn't supposed to move on that my hunch was correct.
Those downs that I had in the graveyard, whether we
were ever faded to meet, been extinguished for hearing her words,
and now I am filled with hope and that will
carry me through any storm.
Speaker 2: Speaking of storm, we're gonna pause real quick and go
back to the storm that's in the closet to nowhere. Okay,
you two, what are you doing well?
Speaker 3: I'm taking my time putting this cattig it out, hoping
that he can grab it. And the moment i've KAUSI
confirms that it's crabbed is when I'm going to start
trying to pull and see if I can be move them.
Speaker 2: Ooh, okay, all right, make me a roll.
Speaker 3: Of what exactly it was, you lack.
Speaker 2: I'll let you decide. I think this could fall under
either body or so.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's an extra five percent on the shift,
so I might as well sol. I do have to
roll twice, so I'm gonna roll and I'm gonna hit
a reroll and see how that looks. Skin.
Speaker 2: It didn't say it, by the way it goes. Listen,
the person who plays a catchy did all of the
roles that you're looking at. That's why it looks so beautiful.
Speaker 3: Oh so I got a success, but because I have
to roll twice, I got an omen as a follower.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, you are in you are in hot water
today it's a forty four.
Speaker 3: I'm like the frog, but I turned on the pot
of water myself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, oh boy.
Speaker 3: But doubles, I do like those. They tend to do well.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I think you see this thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah no, that's fair. I think while I'm trying to
be accurate with this cardigan tossing it out toward Akachi,
I eventually do look into the room, which is what
I was avoiding to do. But I don't in this
particular instance.
Speaker 2: It's like an accident, you know, the thing where you're
like that, I don't want to look at the thing,
and you're throwing the thing, and then you just happen
to look up and look exactly.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, what do I see as best that one
can look at a singularity?
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's such an interesting thing because I don't think
you see it so much as you feel it, And
I think maybe the imagery of it will appear in
your mind, like your imagination, you know, like you can
make out some features in the dark, but otherwise, Oh.
Speaker 3: It's the mind playing tree sort of thing where you're
putting you see that the scratching on the window, and
you put a face and things together to it kind
of thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Or like the shadows are falling in just the
right way that you think you might make out features
even though that shouldn't be possible because it is just pitch.
Speaker 3: Black, right, the coat on the chair in the corner,
and you don't remember putting it there, and you see
a person kind of thing. Yeah, what exactly are the
features that might stand out that I think I see?
Speaker 2: I think that you see a live Ooh, I'm trying
to remember how it was described to me or us. Rather,
you're going to see Gus's friend that was described in
episode one. So the thing that stands out to me
is there.
Speaker 3: In the friend quote unquote that's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, not the actual friend, but the friend in
the photo that cahoto.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which yeah, I'm my was it a deer like creature?
Speaker 2: Mber, not a deer like creature that's from something else
on another timeline. But it does have like eyes that
I think suck in the light. That was the main
thing I remember. It's like the eyes are just the
longer you stare into them, the less you of you
you will have. Is the feeling that you get.
Speaker 3: You get the tunnel vision essentially if you keep looking
at it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And I think that you might feel like
there is a like two rows of teeth. I think
you would feel that. I don't know how you see that.
I mean it's maybe your imagination feeling in what would
otherwise very like skull like looking face with multiple teeth.
And I think it's got horns coming out of the cheekbone,
the raised cheekbone.
Speaker 3: I see horns on each side.
Speaker 2: Horn not like deer horns, but like devil horns.
Speaker 3: Devil, yes, something kind of that, that sort of deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's got two rows of teeth and
pointy tusks as.
Speaker 3: Well in the tough front coming out of the mouth,
kind of like a pig. I see, I.
Speaker 2: See I've done that, but yes, that is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could have said orc of something. But if
you decide to go to what was the worst for you,
which is also very intriguing to me.
Speaker 2: Well, there you have it, all.
Speaker 7: Right, Harry, I've got I've got it in my hand.
Speaker 3: Right okay, Oh yeah, yeah. I tear myself away from that,
not maya, as I probably stayed a little longer than
I would have liked to edit to get those details.
And uh try to pull as best I can on
on you. And does does akachi fall over?
Speaker 2: Does a cochichi is rooted weirdly in place, so even
as you're like tugging, it's almost like something is holding
them there. And then the follow up is you rolled
this forty four omen so I think it becomes clear
to you after even twenty minutes of this it ain't
happening unless you cross the threshold.
Speaker 9: Right okay, Hm, causeie, you hold onto this all right,
don't let go?
Speaker 3: Okay, make note I ain't shutting the door. I want
to be very clear here, I'm coming back. I'm coming
back to you. I'm not leaving. You should still be
able to hear me. I tie the cat again onto
the inside of the office side of the door hand. Okay,
So if the door shuts. It's blocked. It can't actually
shut liver.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: I then go over to the rug in the center
of our office and I look for any phrase in
the thread.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the art. I don't see any phrase.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to look for tassels. I'm looking for
phrase as in, like something that might have been scuffed.
Speaker 2: In the round for it, Yeah, roll for it.
Speaker 3: Sure it.
Speaker 2: I might as well keep not doing so well, but yeah,
just go ahead and a flat roll and take the
worst of either one.
Speaker 3: Oh all right, okay, that's a twenty five and at
twenty seven.
Speaker 2: Wow, okay, so twenty seven. Yeah, you find something. I'm
curious as to what you're going to do with it.
Speaker 3: But sure, Yeah, I pull this. I pull this thread
all the way out, and I try to find as
many of them as possible. And I'm going to do
a quick I'm not doing a weave, mind you, but
I'm just trying to twist him together, tie off one
end to twist him and time off. I'm trying to
make it improvise ropia.
Speaker 2: From the from a thread from the rug.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to grab as many many threads as pot
Like three threads is something I want something that it's
not going to hold me back, so to speak.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think you're better off tying your other
end to the desk or something. Right, Oh, you're trying
to get a rope.
Speaker 3: I see correct. I want something I can attach to
this the door, like the cart again, but give me
a little bit, not something that's to support me. Think
of it more of like an airline.
Speaker 2: I don't think you're going to be able to get
that out of this rug. And I'm only saying that
post on the way the rug looks. It doesn't look
like one of those like if you're going to pull
something from it, it'll be like one of those thin No.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, and that's why I was hoping to
get a few. But if I dan't, that's all right too,
that's that's fine. Yeah, Oh shit, what the hell am
I doing? I do this for a bit, like a
minute or so, get the thread out, and I go
walk over the curtain, pull on a curat and soft
the weirdo.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 3: That's a lot smarter. It's been an odd day. I
tie one end off and k not. I tie the
other end off the knot so it stays more length
wise like a rope.
Speaker 2: You have to go into Alder's office to get curtains.
There are green the curtains, but there aren't the side,
so don't worry.
Speaker 3: You can go okay, okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Some big long green curtains in there. You can just
pull off the road. It does mean you have to
leave the room, which is okay.
Speaker 3: I've got the doors the whole time, exactly, Okay, so
I would be I'm getting a thing for a rope,
so I can tie myself to this door and go
in there to get you a catchy. I am not
leaving you, okay, there not that you have any choice,
uh uh. And then I grab that and I do
depending on how long they are. If I need to
grab both ti together and then tie that to a desk,
I will, If not, I'll tie one endo the desk.
Speaker 2: And then yeah, you can do the curtain to the
door episode Okay, yeah, that's what I'm going to do that, yep.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: I want to make sure I just want it long
enough so that I can have it anchored and the
door is still open.
Speaker 2: The door open. Yep, you can do that. And then
because I need you to make a roll while you're
in here, it's going to be a soul roll. Please boom,
I ate, Okay, now make just a flat D one
hundred for.
Speaker 8: Me forty Okay, nothing happens.
Speaker 2: You can't move while he's shouting. You do here the
whole time? The are you keeping an eye on the
void spot thing?
Speaker 7: I haven't looked away?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay? It is also then not moving at all,
So you're both kind of at a standstill here. And
I will say that the rootedness that you feel in
your limbs is like weirdly comforting, feeling like there isn't
a doesn't feel like this thing that you're looking at
is doing it to you.
Speaker 7: Okay, okay, And.
Speaker 2: You can hear Harry shouting, Oh, don't worry, gotcha, I'm
just getting the curtain. He's like narrating everything he's doing
for some reason. I think he probably thinks it's comforting
for you to hear his voice constantly.
Speaker 3: Has he abandoned him?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Is it comforting?
Speaker 7: I I don't think it's comforting. I think a cutchy.
Speaker 3: I think cut.
Speaker 7: She's too scared to even appreciate. Do you attempt to
be comforting? I think of this? Maybe she will, but
currently I think they're too panicked about the thing in
front of them right now to really think more of it.
But it is comforting feeling. I've is it similar to
what I felt before?
Speaker 2: What is good instinct?
Speaker 7: And I can move my fingers, your fingers, I think,
still staring at this these voids in the dark, I'm
going to try and reach wrap my fingers around the mask, okay,
and see if that's comforting. Feeling changes, increases, decreases, anything
like that.
Speaker 2: Mike a role for me, another soul check?
Speaker 7: Please about anything?
Speaker 2: No, hope me?
Speaker 7: I don't think so.
Speaker 2: Okay, Nope, all right, I may make some adjustments first
thing that I'm not going to tell you about, but
go ahead, make your role. Holy. Yeah, it increases as
you touch this mask. And in fact, you feel like
whatever this is that's keeping you rooted and still and
not moving is helping you. And I think you feel
like the fact that you're rooted and staring at that
thing is why that thing ain't moving.
Speaker 7: I don't know how to explain this. Yeah, I think
it might be safer that I can't move. I it's
just a feeling I'm getting.
Speaker 3: All right, So you're telling me you have to stay
in there indefinitely.
Speaker 7: I'd rather not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, meeting, I.
Speaker 7: Really don't this is I don't know what's going on area.
I haven't for a very long time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't don't stay calm, Stay calm. I'm coming to
get you in one way or another. We'll figure this out,
all right, Yeah, all right, Okay.
Speaker 2: We're gonna switch because that's fun. Back to Jim, what
are you doing? Jim?
Speaker 6: Got a sense of purpose in my step Now I
don't feel so lost anymore. But I'm left with more
questions than answers. I'm trying to wrack my brain. How
would she know that I'm going to save her? How
would she know who I am? What's going on? What
could be a possible explanation.
Speaker 4: I'm just.
Speaker 3: Lost in thoughts. My brain is buzzing.
Speaker 6: On one side, at least I know that I am
supposed to help her. But on the other side, I'm like,
but how and what's going on?
Speaker 2: It's a pickle you are in mystery to solve. I
suppose do you go back to the motel or do
you go anywhere else?
Speaker 6: Not quite yet, I'm walking and thinking that's just how
I process. I would just be walking down the street
no particular direction. I'm completely phased out of the outside
world as I'm just kind of in my own head,
just looking at the ground, just thinking, Okay. My body
just kind of moving instinctually, you know, stopping for traffic,
trying to avoid running into other people. But all my
mind is just focused on what just happened.
Speaker 2: Okay, Now I'm not doing this to be mean. I'm
doing this because you set this up. We roll D
one hundred above a fifty is not good. Below a fifty,
You're okay.
Speaker 6: Why does it sound like a bus is coming?
Speaker 2: Al it's not a bus twenty nine? Okay, you are
in your own mind, your own kind of thoughts. But
for some reason, you spot the Simoni brother's car, and
you know, like if you had rolled above a fifty,
you were about to be grabbed and put into the
trunk of a car. So how do you stop that
from happening?
Speaker 6: So I think, just out of the corner of my eye,
I see them about ready to get out of it,
like spot me. I see them pointing at me, and
immediately I turn into an alleyway and just go ok
I'm running immediately. All I'm trying to do is get
the heck out.
Speaker 2: Of there, okay, And you're running and I think you'll
hear them shouting kind of in the distance, like, you know,
do they know you is Jim or do they call
you something else?
Speaker 6: They call me crazy Jim.
Speaker 2: Okay, crazy, Jim crazy, Jim Salami. Yeah, Jim's lammie. That's you.
I know it's you. You hear them shouting in the background,
you know, as they're like chasing after you come back here,
blah blah blah. And you managed to loose them down
this alleyway, but you are probably I mean, you're running
for about five ten minutes. It's a long time before
you kind of feel safe enough to They've got a car,
you don't. You know, that's a lot of money to
buy a car. So you're kind of out of breath
now at this point down this alleyway.
Speaker 6: We've only had some more cigarettes. Oh boy, it was
a lot easier back in my army days. Oh I
am out of shape. Oh oh no, I dropped my cigarettes.
It's the last bit of them.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 6: I think at least lost of those fellows. But I
have no idea where the heck I am.
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say are you lost? Because I
think you probably are.
Speaker 6: Oh, let's see, arounded a couple of alleys, so.
Speaker 4: This whole city is amaze.
Speaker 6: Not gonna be able to find my way back now,
Oh boy, I might as well just keep walking then,
and hopefully i'm bump into them. I'll stick to the
alleys since they're looking by car.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, it's a good idea. Why don't you go
ahead and make another role for me? This one's mine.
See how long it takes you to find your way?
You said you weren't hiding immediately? Holy shit, no way,
no way. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Jim. I think you think.
I think as soon as you go, well, it seems
like I lost those guys. Those fuckers jump out of
the alley way and hit your head with a pipe.
I think you're going in a trunk, right, that's a hundred.
That's an otherworldly reckoning. I think you're getting kidnapped, sir.
Holy shit. So I think as soon as he says, oh,
you know, this was a lot easier, he's out of breath.
He's like, well, I think I got it. You know,
we have one of this one of the my bony
brothers names I think we have one of them jump
out and like say something ridiculous like ha ha, I
got you now, crazy Jim, and he just cracks you
over the head with a pipe.
Speaker 3: I think it's uh gabs, gotcha now, crazy spamonium.
Speaker 2: Yep, perfect, and cranks you over the head and you
fall to the ground. And they the two of them
are picking up Jim and carrying him to the trunk
of their car. They're very fancy car and back to
the other roof.
Speaker 6: Oh man, oh boy, I want to get my fingers broken.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that would be a pickle to be And
if I knew what that was, yep, all right, let's see.
The last thing is to stay there. You'll be all right.
I'm coming to get you. Just don't move.
Speaker 2: And then I got you was like I think I
might be safer standing still.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, I'm coming. I'm gonna be getting here.
We're getting you out of this Akachi. All right, you
just keep doing what you're doing and I'll get you
out of this. I've tied the curtain to the desk, okay,
I've got it in my my left hand. Ah. And
with that, I then do step through the threshold and
go right to a kachi. Okay, Cauchy, it's me. I've
been trying to make sure that i'm talking and you'll
not startled. This is my hand going on your right shoulder,
and I put my hand on their right shoulder.
Speaker 7: Okay. I don't know if we need to stay still
or look at this thing right, but it hasn't moved
and I saw it.
Speaker 3: Okay, but neither of you and you can't. Is that
what you were saying? Yes, okay, while I'm touching the
kachi's shoulder. Is a kachi able to move at all?
Now that we're anchored to the office itself, Are.
Speaker 2: You trying to pull her shoulder?
Speaker 3: No, I'm trying to see if they they can move
it all? Okay, yeah, if they if they notice, they
regain movement ability at all.
Speaker 2: Uh. It's up to you, akachi. You can try If you.
Speaker 7: Aren't, oh, I don't even think I try.
Speaker 3: I'd be waiting a second or two just to notice.
Then I would see if I can move the shoulder
a little. Okay, is there any give?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I need you to make a roll for something else.
Obviously you can. You can push somebody's shoulder, that's not
a problem. Can you do the body check for me.
Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely can Okay, all right, and I'll do that,
and then of course it is Harry well not hold
on now.
Speaker 2: I mean the only thing that you can do is
roll worse.
Speaker 3: Than that, like Christ was a seventy. But it's an
omen so I'm assuming that still overrides it. That's fine, Okay,
that's the same oment I had before.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I was thinking a good number.
Speaker 3: One on crabs tables. I'm just saying, yeah.
Speaker 2: But not not here. It ain't no good lord. Okay.
So when you go to do that, I think you
can absolutely move her shoulder there. And I think as
soon as you do that, you will notice the because
I'm imagining one of you is at least focused on
wherever this void thing is. The void thing moves off, so.
Speaker 3: Oh like move the shoulder and avoid things. Shoulder moves effectively.
Speaker 2: It's not mirroring a couchy, right, but it is more
like when a couch is moving, it can now from
the time it takes for you to move it now
can move during that time frame. So the two seconds
that a couchey shoulders moving, it is now like darted
quite far. It's moved quite far. But as soon as
you stop moving.
Speaker 7: But wait, wait wait, wait wait wait, wait.
Speaker 3: Up, I saw that it stops moving. Okay, that is
a pickle. If I knew what that was, i'd hope
you know what a pickle is.
Speaker 7: Off.
Speaker 3: I think I was going to be very concerned. Pickling
has been around for a very long.
Speaker 7: Time, very long time.
Speaker 2: Listen, all right, I.
Speaker 7: Just when pickles started, saw pickles, wins.
Speaker 2: Pickles, and you never know, Okay, okay, all right, anyway, definitely.
Speaker 5: You are.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna paint eat a pickle.
Speaker 3: Okay, oh lord, Win did pickle. There's your next merch
exactly when Win did pickle pickle.
Speaker 2: It depends, win.
Speaker 3: Depends, all right, ship, Okay, catchy, I'm gonna tellt onek.
Speaker 2: You hear any sound either. When this thing.
Speaker 7: Moves, just moves.
Speaker 2: You just see it move quick.
Speaker 3: Okay, Achy, I want to test one thing, and trust
me on trust me on this, Trust me on this.
It's not gonna be It's gonna be very very quick.
All right. I stare at it. Okay, And while I'm
staring at it, I just do a quick and by quick,
I do mean just a little yeah. Yeah, And I
want to see if it moves. Now that I'm staring at.
Speaker 2: It, it does, and I go very quick again and
then just stop, didn't it?
Speaker 3: I have a rough idea how far away it is?
Speaker 2: Let's roll. Actually, I'll just let you roll fight D
one hundreds. It's easy. And you got lucky feet.
Speaker 3: You wanted to take twenty one feet.
Speaker 2: The rolls, I'm kidding eighteen feet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna be it. I'm being honest. You
got to play by the rules of the house. It's
about so from you, all, okay? And how far roughly
was it before that?
Speaker 2: Oh, I'd say like fifty feet. It's fast.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's just roast here, okay. Would it be fair
to say that it's moved the three feet in that
poke like it was twenty one and then it went
to three feet?
Speaker 2: That's fair?
Speaker 3: Yep. I'm just it sounds about right for two seconds
to move twenty feet or so and that okay? All right,
I make a deal. What I'm asking well, yes, i'm
asking you.
Speaker 2: I'm listening.
Speaker 3: If I get rid of that major burn that gets
me disadvantage, oh, the price would be I'd change places
with a kachi and they can and I push them
back through the door.
Speaker 2: Well, that sounds like you are just winning your.
Speaker 3: Only really I'm stuck here now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's what you want, right, No.
Speaker 3: I definitely do not, but I'd rather than be safe.
I let go the anchor and everything.
Speaker 2: That is very tempting, Harry. I'm tempted.
Speaker 3: That's why I wanted it, because it is not good
for me being stuck in you with this thing. But
the only thing in return I'd want is that not
both major burns. Just I'm I'm no deed, see no deal.
Speaker 2: No deal. I do like this bargaining though, this gambling.
Speaker 3: Every other role being double and that disadvantage and sending
a Kachi in with me staying no deal.
Speaker 2: You wanted to touch that book, Harry, You touch that book.
I did to figure out a way to get rid
of that. Other than making deals with me m I will, however,
allow a blind bid our first one, please do tell? Yeah,
which is you make a bid with your burn, and
then Akachi will make a bid with their burn, and
whoever has the more amount will get what they want.
How's that? Or rather, whoever has the higher amount will
be the one that escapes out the door.
Speaker 3: I see because that's what I want, is you know
what I want, and that wouldn't be a part of that.
That's fair.
Speaker 2: Well, I think both oh Harry would want to get
out of there, maybe not at the cost of somebody else.
But I don't think you realist this deal is on
the table.
Speaker 3: No, true, but I do want them out more than myself.
Speaker 7: Interesting, I think about how it cuts you it, okay,
I don't doesn't.
Speaker 2: Don't tell you. I think will make the thing. And
if you win, you have to decide in that moment
what you want. Who gets what?
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, that's all right, okay, blind button, it is
well both of you.
Speaker 2: Now here's the thing. You have to take that Burn
if you win, right, it's like an auction.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, I see. And how much bun you get?
Speaker 2: You get? Ye?
Speaker 3: All right now, says Burn, committed with the pop up
there doing how much?
Speaker 2: How much you're willing to spend?
Speaker 3: I see how it is you.
Speaker 2: Build it in. I was going to be like DM me, but.
Speaker 7: I haven't built it so that only the gem sees that.
Speaker 2: Oh wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
wait holding hold, I'm gonna make sure, okay, perfect, I'm
not in as GM on the stream. Okay, you don't
get to see it either, all right.
Speaker 3: I see all right? Oh okay, I'll toss in my blond.
Speaker 2: Bed all right. Oh this is fun. I like gambling.
Gambling's fun kids.
Speaker 3: No, I'm I agree. No, well, I mean the craps
I do like both in and out of here.
Speaker 2: Listen, I regret it already. Okay, let's see. I'm refreshing
because I didn't see anything come through.
Speaker 3: I can get you mine if you don't.
Speaker 2: Get I see it. I see them both, right. I
love this language. Did you make it random?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It's random?
Speaker 6: Wow?
Speaker 2: Okay, this is fantastic because it says Akachi has brazenly
committed redacted burn to this moment, and then it says
Harry has foolishly committed however, redacted burn to this moment. Fantastic.
I love it.
Speaker 3: I ain't apt. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Harry, please take four burn, roll a wine or condition,
and you need to describe how you managed to get
Akachi out of here.
Speaker 3: Oh you know that. I kind of love that the
technology buzzes around me. That's very interesting for my own name.
Speaker 2: Somebody else's Yeah, okay, all right, I thought somebody had
that already.
Speaker 3: I think someone did, but this was not me. Yeah, okay,
I didn't have any.
Speaker 7: Like the first episode something like that.
Speaker 2: It's just racking up the conditions here.
Speaker 3: Oh I have three? Yes, most definitely.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, all right, all.
Speaker 3: Right, okay, well see I'm plumb out of ideas.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I love that plumb out that's saying South
has Oh so good. I will tell you this because
I need to help you, because I think you don't
know how this would work, but Harry will suddenly get
The inspiration is to have plumb out of ideas and
then fam make a deal with it me instead of
this one, and then you're gonna stand there still.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, sure, yeah, yeah, plumbing idea. Look at it
and just kind of I don't say anything because I
don't particularly want to cost you to know. Yeah, okay,
they might react. I've seen them in the tunnels. I
knew what they'll do. Yeah, but I make a deal.
It says, going, I'm trading. Yeah, I'm more interesting.
Speaker 2: I think that's what would get its attention. Yep. So
if you say I'm more interesting, and then I think
maybe there's a minute or two where you can kind
of feel eyes roaming over you, like assessing you. And
here you are with three fucking curses on you and
condition and a magic book that's on your person right now.
And I think you do get its attention. And I
think all of a sudden you're going to see it
shift kind of wait if it were to have any weight,
you know, but the darkness moves a little bit, and
a culture you suddenly feel like you can move and
your life is no longer in danger.
Speaker 3: And what I do is, since this was trading, yeah,
and I'd imagine that's part of this, because that's what
I want. I then before I'm stuck, because again we're
trading with this, so it's gonna hopefully on it. It's
part of the deal. Is I then hand to Katcha
the curtain and shove them back out the door.
Speaker 2: Yeah okay?
Speaker 3: And then I stand there, Okay.
Speaker 2: Shit, a couture. You are shoved out the door. I
think the door will wait. You're shoving out the door,
so the door will shut right in. Harry's no more.
Speaker 7: But I I'm going to go for the door again.
Speaker 2: Open the door. You gotta roll do soul. I'm assuming
your intent is to get back into that room. Yeah,
it opens to a kitchen.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, Harry, I'll close the door and open it.
I'm going to keep yeah, buying, over and over.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll rule twice more, rule of threes, and then
you know, if you get lucky, then we'll allow one
of those times to open it. But otherwise it's going
to stay eighty nine, one more, sixty five. I'm sorry.
You just keep opening that door and it keeps opening
to either a kitchen or a warehouse or shit.
Speaker 7: I do I'm going to look to my mosque. Yeah,
the mosque at my side?
Speaker 4: What do I do?
Speaker 7: She seemed to have understood known that shouldn't mean.
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 7: How can I get Harry back?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: Shit, I was not expecting this. All right, last role
for this scene. It is soul again. You do have
a ten shift thirty nine out of thirty.
Speaker 7: I'll owe you the bun.
Speaker 2: All right, right, let's go. Okay, reroll that thirty four, Okay,
I will This is close enough. I'll make a deal
with you. If you won't, I will allow you to succeed.
But it means you don't get to decide when it's over.
If that makes sense. It doesn't make sense. And if
it doesn't make sense, it's fine too.
Speaker 7: Doesn't make sense to me, but I'm going to go
with it.
Speaker 2: Sure, put the mask on.
Speaker 7: I unlooped the mask from my vays from the belt loop,
and I'll put it on over my face.
Speaker 2: And what happens? What do we see?
Speaker 7: It catches posture changes entirely. For the most part, they
are very kind of They can hold themselves with some
level of confidence. But I think in whenever they've been
in anything remotely supernatural related, they have been tried to
make themselves very small. But as they put their mask on,
they send their full height again and quickly look around
and look down at their hands.
Speaker 4: How can we again? This is a catchy.
Speaker 7: E Kenna?
Speaker 4: Wait kenna, I didn't see. This isn't what I meant
when I said I'll see you two.
Speaker 7: What's happening?
Speaker 4: Wait?
Speaker 7: Are you alive?
Speaker 4: Alive? It's a isn't a word for it. I'll explain later.
When you said you wanted you want to get harried back?
Speaker 7: Right, that would be nice? Wait here, hold on, why
how are you where am I?
Speaker 4: We've you're in the mask right now, I'm in your buddy.
Speaker 7: Oh okay, we so you've been You've been in the
master this entire time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like I said, this isn't what I meant when
we said when I said I'll see you dude. The
older person, she might know something. She speaks to her
later when we find.
Speaker 7: Yes, you have so much to explain. But just help
help me get Harry back.
Speaker 4: Okay, the cardigan. Grab that.
Speaker 7: I'm in the mask. I can't grab anything.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll grab it.
Speaker 7: And Kenna, ye, we'll grab the cardigan that was tied
to the door and set it down. Okay, do you
have anything else that he used? He sat in that chair.
If that helps?
Speaker 2: Oh, the pop tart. Sorry, I'm not helping you, but
you would would know.
Speaker 3: Coffee lug.
Speaker 2: Oh the whole thing. You ate the whole thing?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: It was half left.
Speaker 2: I'm not judging.
Speaker 3: I'm just it was just half of it. But your coffee.
Coffee will be there right now.
Speaker 7: I guess the coffee as well. It's on it's on
his desk.
Speaker 4: Okay, that should That should work.
Speaker 7: And they will get the coffee and I think pour
it on the card again.
Speaker 2: Holy ship, let's go.
Speaker 7: And they're moving. A catchy slash. He canna slash the
mesh up of the two will use some of the
coffee to kind of draw a very wet or some
kind of It seems ruinic. It seems magic in some
way around this now drenched cardigan.
Speaker 4: And then do you still carry that toolkit around with you? Thok,
the one with the screwdrivers and.
Speaker 7: The hammers, and yes, it's on your hour waist.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna borrow this.
Speaker 7: And they'll pull out one of the screw driver just
like a filip screw a screwdriver and set it like
jam it down. I think this is all happening on
Harry's desk. Jam it into the center of the desk.
They should help loosen him up, and they are going
to try and cast essentially like a freedom of movements
that teleportation spell to have. Basically, this now drenched cardigan
switch places with har shit.
Speaker 2: Okay, now this is fantastic because it's magic. I need
to know your metaphor behind why you did the things
that you did, because technically they are actually giving you
shift towards this, but I want to know why you chose.
Speaker 7: Them cutting it because that was the last most recent
thing that Harry touched and has been wearing for a while,
since is very clearly very personal thing the screw diver
is to Basically, the screwdriver is used to loosen things,
to allow of things to be removed from wherever you
pinned them initially, So this is them using that to
like move or unscrew unpin Harry. The coffee is also
just an extra thing of like something Harry recently touched
and more specifically inside.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, that's right, and it's also liquid fluid,
so yeah, yeah, so you're going to make a role
technically your twin. Here's a sheet and I've when I've
been asking you to roll for some mills, and I'm
not telling you what it is. I'm adding on an
extra ten because his mark is high ten higher than yours.
So it's forty. So you just got to roll under
a forty for this. But you roll on your sheet.
Speaker 7: For now, okay, And this would be I think it'd
be a soul.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, yeah. I imagine you both use the same
magic stant but maybe not maybe mind.
Speaker 7: Now I think I use mind. I think it can
eat a salt.
Speaker 2: Okay, that makes sense to me, all right, soul.
Speaker 7: It is then such a roll with my mysel.
Speaker 2: And it just needs to be under forty. Oh sorry,
excuse me. You get five, ten, fifteen shift for the
three things that you're using to cast your thing.
Speaker 7: Okay, it still would be wouldn't be under, but I
you can take a burn, do a bud. Yeah that
has been said, by the way.
Speaker 2: I was going to say, just so you know, only
you are taking the burn. You don't both get to burns. Yeah, okay, yeah,
not yet. The second one is at seven.
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, that's a really roll. Okay, So it's so
the basis forty and then I'm getting another fifteen because
of the stuff. I god, fifty five.
Speaker 2: Okay, five for each ingredient that you use. No, is
that an eighty four?
Speaker 7: Is that eighty four?
Speaker 2: What do you think happens as you try to do
this and you can't quite get to work.
Speaker 7: I think as Kenna does this, they realize that but
lack of a better term, and I think they think
this and Kenna is both confused and offended despite not
knowing what it means. They realized that they went from
like being an ocean of magic to being a shallow
creek in this new, unfamiliar body as they try to
do magic. That essentially is moving someone from one plane
to another, because these doors essentially a port into a
different plane, and they don't feel don't have enough any
to draw from to pull Harry into this space.
Speaker 4: They go, no, no, no, no, this is another time. Yep,
yeah you're not. You haven't done this before done? What
is it working? Is?
Speaker 7: How are you going to be? Okay, m.
Speaker 4: Hold on.
Speaker 7: And they're going to go to the door to try
and open the door themselves.
Speaker 2: Same deal. You go ahead and make role. Just get
under forty as the mark, holy shit, nine to five.
You can take one more burn if you I want
to do. I mean you'd have to roll for a
major burn condition. But I mean Harry's fine, he's got two.
Speaker 7: I think a catchy would, A catchy would, Kenna wouldn't.
Speaker 2: That's right because you don't need to have any control.
I said that you don't get to decide when it's over.
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, So I don't think a catchy would. Again,
I don't think I Canno would because this is their
siblings body and the aware, the top top, and that
would do to.
Speaker 4: Them no working people can do. And I think I'm older.
Speaker 7: I'm going to rush into old as the room to
pull everything open, cabinets, open, jaws, anything, everything to see
that's anything.
Speaker 2: Okay, and you roll mind in a second. But meantime
we're switching scenes back to Jim. All right, Jim, I
need you to make a body roll. This is gonna
determine how beat shit you are when you wake up.
Speaker 6: Sorry sorry, oh yep, yeah, probably into a pulp.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna assume that you have can't even open
one eye.
Speaker 6: Well yeah, let's see how these since of these rolls
have been so wonderful.
Speaker 2: I mean, who knows, maybe this was really good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe I got a little hope, Bob.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, on a scale of wonder hundred, you could
be definitely like you could roll the ninety and you know,
Black Eye for a week. Okay, So I think when
you come to you are definitely tied to a chair.
You're in some warehouse somewhere, and you've been knocked around
a little bit. But I think we both know this
Spimoni brothers enough to know that they would have preferred
you be awake for your beaten So it's only a
little bit roughed up, but probably more coming. But nobody's
here right now. When you wake up.
Speaker 4: Uh, my down.
Speaker 6: Ah, just when I thought I had made my great escape,
I had to open my big mouth.
Speaker 3: Oh well, oh this place again.
Speaker 6: They really got to get creative with the intimidation factor.
Oh oh, that's nice one swinging light bulb.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen that one before.
Speaker 6: Ahh boy, Tony's really let this place go. Oh now,
I'm going to try to shimmy my way out of
this rope the best I can maybe see if I
uh can't free myself, do you have.
Speaker 2: Any abilities to help you with this role?
Speaker 6: Let me see. The only thing I can think of
is nerves of steel.
Speaker 2: I will allow it, so they'll give you five five
shift I think, unless it's his Otherwise.
Speaker 3: I might say sorry about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's okay.
Speaker 3: The good did we do?
Speaker 4: Body?
Speaker 2: Or mind a body?
Speaker 6: Already? Five shift on that?
Speaker 2: Come on, you can take a burn to reroll if
you'd like.
Speaker 6: You know, the way I'm feeling, I think a burn
ain't happening. Yeah, I'm not feeling the best. Yeah, I
can't really collect my thoughts with a big welt yep
on the back of my head.
Speaker 2: All right, you can't get out. We struggle against that rope.
But Goddamn, they got much better at time this last.
Speaker 6: Time, you remember, Yeah, it looks like they're not taking
any chances this time.
Speaker 3: Oh boy.
Speaker 6: I'll take a look around and see if I can't
see any see anything. Yep, this basement, I'm guessing it's real,
real dank and might have might have some rats or
rodents crawling around.
Speaker 2: Yep, I imagine it is.
Speaker 6: Okay, I think here, I don't think I have anything.
Do entice a rat to try to chew the binds?
Speaker 2: You do not at the moment.
Speaker 6: Yeah, No, maybe maybe I had. Maybe if they like cigarettes,
I could have tried to shoot me that out. But
I don't think I have anything. So I guess the
only thing that I do have on my person would
be my lighter, but I certainly don't think I can
reach that with my hands.
Speaker 3: Bound.
Speaker 2: Well, we can roll for it, but it's going to
be pretty hard, like no shifts. We're just leaving it
up to chain. It could be some random situation of like,
you know, mgui for it or something. I'm willing go
ahead and make a standard body.
Speaker 6: Roll, so I can imagine that my lighter is probably
in this pocket. My hands are behind the chair and
trying to like shimmy my jacket over get the lighter
to like pop out, and then I can grab it
with one of my hands and just kind of burn
the ropes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could kind of like grab your jacket with
your fingers and kind of move it until you get
to your pocket. Maybe that's kind I would imagine you're
able to do it if you roll. Well, go ahead
and roll all straight, body you just have to beat
your your mark.
Speaker 6: Nope, well nope, it's not happening. Yeah, oh boy, Well
start calling out for help, and this pimonius will know
how I'm awake, so probably don't want to do that.
I'm running out of options here, but I don't want
to stick around. Not a chance I can even you know,
stand up or try to or am I just absolutely
glued to this chair.
Speaker 2: I will give you two more things you can try
and roll for, so we'll allow a maximum of three
attempts to add a thing that requires like a body roll,
so that way we're not just rolling again and again
for each thing. So you can decide if you want
to try to get up and walk with the chair,
that'll be a roll. But if there's any other things
that you want to try it would take off. I'm god,
you do have a pen? Wait? I lost audio or
you muted? Are we muted? Did you lose audio?
Speaker 5: And my car?
Speaker 2: Okay? One here? Everything until he's just now started speaking, right,
can you hear.
Speaker 7: Us speaking Earliot like just a second ago again?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah he can't hear us.
Speaker 7: Oh okay, it looks like they're in the clean feet anymore.
Speaker 2: Oh it's so tense. Okay, back to you too while
we're waiting for that to happen. Okay, yeah, what do
you do? You're trying to think of ideas as well?
Speaker 6: There we go, Yeah, never mind, Jim, all right, there
we go.
Speaker 2: What happens?
Speaker 3: Felt a little disconnected?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I felt a little disconnected there. So do I still
have my radio or did they take that?
Speaker 2: I don't think they search you. I think they're arrogant, right,
it's at least six. I mean, I only know what
I know through watching the role play of the Spimoni brothers,
So I don't think they I think they looked for
a gun, which you did not have because you gave
it to guests and they just left you.
Speaker 6: Okay, here's what I think if my radio is probably
on my belt, I'd have a better chance of hitting
the button, and then you know, seeing if I can't contact.
Speaker 2: This is hilarious. Okay, I'm gonna say yes, I'm not
gonna make you roll for that because you already kind
of like rolled to move around, so you hit the button.
And I just want to know what you say to
a katchi in this moment when a kotchi isn't even
a katchi. The radio goes, what do you say?
Speaker 4: Gotcha? Gotcha? Are you there?
Speaker 7: Can you hear me? I don't even know it when
because I don't I need to just know. I'm imagineing
when they say rajo. The rajo in the office is
like a handheld things like, I mean.
Speaker 2: There is a radio in the office that will occasionally
turn on, but the ones that you've been using.
Speaker 3: Yep, okay, gotcha.
Speaker 5: As a cut chair.
Speaker 6: Well, I'm glad to hear you. I'm in a bit
of a pickle right now. Oh yeah, okay, wait you two,
what's going on back in the office?
Speaker 5: And avoid what.
Speaker 7: Them about the monster?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 7: They're also they're chapped in the void of a monster.
Speaker 6: Well, it seems that things are going well today for
us all. I'm trapped in a basement right now. I Uh,
I can't get free. I'm tied to a chair, and
I don't know if you can contact us or not.
But they're back at the hotel. They have no idea
that I went out. Well, they did, but they don't
know that I'm here. Ah, listen, I don't know what
to do here, and maybe I was hoping that you
could help me. In terms of this magic stuff, I
don't buy into it. I don't really know too much
about it. But look, it's gonna take magic to get
me out of a situation like this. Do you got
any suggestions?
Speaker 4: Did you?
Speaker 7: I guess some good teleportation magic could be useful here
as well. Can you meet for.
Speaker 6: Arms only a little bit? They tied my arms pretty
tight here behind a chair. I can kind of use
my hands a bit.
Speaker 7: Okay, are you leone in the room you're in right now?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: It's just me.
Speaker 6: I'm tied to a chair in some creepy old basement
and it smells like wet socks in here.
Speaker 7: Which of these desks for yours?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 6: The one with the really awful chair, isn't that though?
That was Harry's no, No, No, the one that's even
worse than Harry's, Like the one that has a two
by four is a leg that's been.
Speaker 3: Nailed in there.
Speaker 6: Oh that Okay, should have a jar of coal slaw
on it as well, and a jar of acid next
to it that says, do not open.
Speaker 7: Okay, I have an idea. I don't know if I
can get you out of there, but I can get
some stuff that you get you out of there yourself.
Speaker 6: Okay. I I'm at this point like I'm I'm ready
for any ideas that you have.
Speaker 7: Okay, just keep the line open it, Canda, I'm going
to go to Okay, it kinda is going to go
to Gym's desk and with the the Waukie the radio open,
they're gonna set the radio down. Yeah, occtually, can you Okacha,
can you just in your mind just imagine damn, just
imagine Gym right now as much as you tells you can. Okay, Sure,
I'm imagining Jim. Okay's think I'm going to try I
guess reputation magic again and with the the visuals of
Jim in a catchie's mind kind of like the description,
and I think I'll quit go into walking and go.
Speaker 5: Where where exactly are the works? I get right now.
Speaker 6: My hands and my feet and to keep.
Speaker 5: Really specific, how if you can get like.
Speaker 7: How many interest from your palm and I need everything,
let's sure O care about it?
Speaker 6: Burn well, I mean it's kind of hard to look
behind me, but judging by you know how much they
it's tight like they they don't want me leaving as
I escaped one time before, so they really did their
uh you know best here work.
Speaker 5: It's like right around your rest.
Speaker 6: Joint, right around my wrist joints, and then my feet.
They've tied me at the ankle. I'm hog tied right now,
and then tied to this chair as well. They've got
another rope around my torso tying me to this chair.
They really don't want me gone.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'll work on the hands and I hopefully i'll
be get you free enough to do press yourself.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, if I could just get my feet unbound,
I could probably stand up, although awkwardly tied to this chair.
Speaker 4: I'm going to try and send a portion of this asset.
It's not the whole jar. It's like you're not middle
of acids. I'm going all up with this I think,
and you look, and I'm not in a very magical
body right now, of Jim.
Speaker 2: Okay, now I'm trying to think of what you know
versus what Akachi knows versus what.
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: Because you don't you can't just read each other's minds.
You have to still communicate. So here's my question, how
are you attempting to do this? And what is your
symbolism here?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 4: The walkie talkie is my direct.
Speaker 2: Link to Okay, that's your through line, your lay line,
got it? Okay? What else?
Speaker 4: I think right now? That's it?
Speaker 2: Okay, it's real bad. I think you can't. You can't
even try this without three things that help you can. However,
I will allow you to just make a weird hail
Mary role just to see if something crazy happens. But
you got to roll like one eleven, twenty two or
thirty three. Anything else does not count, all right?
Speaker 4: I think the color would know and would look for more.
Speaker 2: No, No, that's what this role is for. I'll help
you if you happen to roll that.
Speaker 4: Okay, So it's a flat roller.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a flat role. I just want to see
if you do one of those numbers. Nope, you don't. Okay,
no help from me. There's not going to walk through
the door all of a sudden and help you.
Speaker 4: Oh boy, that's another thing.
Speaker 2: Really.
Speaker 4: You describe being tied to a chair yep? Now, oh,
to use Jim's chairs an additional thing.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right, that's right, yep. And I think
you might know that if you were to sit in
the same way, yeah, and the same way, and even
if you weren't maybe, I mean, ideally you would tie
yourself to the chair. But there's nobody here to tie
you to the chair. And then you use the radio
and then you pour the acid on your own thing.
But I mean, good luck, you don't have anybody here
to help you with that. So how are you gonna
think outside the box to try to help him?
Speaker 4: I think acid onto the radio.
Speaker 3: It is my connection to Jem Jesus.
Speaker 2: Okay, hey that might work. Okay, okay, all.
Speaker 4: Right, in the wagons are really fucking up.
Speaker 2: But oh boy, okay, yeah, anything you're doing, you need
three things to try to even us for this, yep.
The radio, the ratio, the chair yep.
Speaker 4: Okay, I have an idea.
Speaker 2: I think you would know this maybe, or you I
mean a cach you.
Speaker 4: Mate, Yeah, I don't think I got you. Go the
missing Person's post. Think Jim has a version without the reductions.
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, yep, emotionally tied to that poster.
Speaker 7: You're absolutely right, perfect okay, and they'll grab the posts
and add that to this.
Speaker 2: Your mark is forty because you're not Cachi. Isn't the
one doing this. You've got your fifteen shift, Mike your roll?
Holy shit, Hey, come on, oh my god, I said
ninety eight.
Speaker 7: A CATCHI is gonna say, try again. If we can
get Jim here, maybe he can help us with Harry
as well, and I'll reluctantly it. Kenna is going to
take the seventh bone.
Speaker 2: Right, so roll your burn conditioning and then we'll reroll. Yep,
holy sit.
Speaker 3: Today right now.
Speaker 2: But oh that was a two by the way, dissonant,
which means all doubles are now omens save for that
thirty three. It's the worst one. There are some really
bad ones on there, but yeah, it's pretty bad. They
hate you guys today.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they really do.
Speaker 4: Know.
Speaker 2: I've been going easy on your narratively, so they're making
you suffer. Okay, okay, yep, make your reroll God. I
hope it's worth it.
Speaker 7: I really hope.
Speaker 6: So we'll see.
Speaker 2: Could you imagine you rolled with thirty three? Yes, it's
a nine nine okay, so that needs you succeed. So
what do you think happens.
Speaker 5: Right now?
Speaker 7: I wish you I did a titleflortation to bring Jim here,
but I'm going to stick with what he was planning. Yes, gambly,
So I think you see at this as he canna
in catch his body, sits down with the radio on
the table, the missing Person's poster, and the give acid.
They take the ADID take, open up the jar and
begin to spill it onto the radio, which I think
just destroys the radio. It does, it does.
Speaker 2: It's going to destroy gums radio as well. But I
think he described the radio being on his person, so
I'm assume that that acid will start to eat through
his coat and the rope.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it starts eating through the rope. It ruins. I
see the deep three. The rage of the radio goes
dead almost immediately as you feel this.
Speaker 2: This, I think I have an eye. Did you know?
It's like starts to malfunction.
Speaker 7: And it spills out and begins to eat to your
shirt and then eat to the rope. I think you
get like some mild acid burn on you. For the
most part, does eat this rope and loosen the ropes
around your wrists specifically to listen you up.
Speaker 6: I think, for just a brief moment, as the radio
is still working, you here.
Speaker 3: Why what's going up.
Speaker 2: And pulse inside the closet door. It's not technically the
door to nowhere. It's not the bad bad voids base,
but it's a voids base none nonetheless, So Harry, what
are you doing?
Speaker 3: Oh Harry has no idea. It ain't the bad one.
It seems like the bad one.
Speaker 2: And there is here. What are you doing?
Speaker 3: I was having a thought and I was sending it
to you privately here in a moment.
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, no, no, no, I.
Speaker 3: Did not send it. I was waiting until this was
I didn't want to distract in any way.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, here's the thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah that that's why I'm specifying, because I want to.
I didn't want to ask it out loud either.
Speaker 2: So oh man, I love that it's you. This will
be one tick towards an awakening of sorts if you
succeed at this right, it's not going to do probably
the thing that you want, but it's going to be
magical and crazy as shit. But you got to roll
a one, twenty two, thirty three, oh or eleven, and
right now I know that you roll the worst of
each one. I'm just gonna not do that right now
because this is their very specific thing that is kind
of out of the character space. Sure, just roll a
flat D one hundred for me, okay, eighty five, so
you can still try those things. But the way the
one tick towards that that thing isn't happening.
Speaker 3: I see what you mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm right all right.
Speaker 3: Now, I guess the other specification, which i'll double check
in here, because again it's knowledge that I don't necessarily
want anyone else to have right now.
Speaker 2: That's fine, And yes, eventually it would be a thing
that you would do. It would be a component.
Speaker 3: That's what I thought, at least for that.
Speaker 2: For sure, secrets, I love them. No, okay, so you
would have had to roll to be able to do that.
You can still throw if you want. Yes, I don't
think you know that.
Speaker 3: That's why I was asking more. That's more for for you.
I know, I don't know that, Okay.
Speaker 2: Oh I see what you're doing, you smarty. You want
to out until it hits zero. I see what you're right, okay, because.
Speaker 3: What else would I necessarily be able to do? And
that's more that that's that's both mine and also Harry
My thoughts there.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is the deal in Harry, it's real bad though,
I'm serious. I'm smiling because I like chaos and I
like it when things go wrong. Enough, story, this is
very serious. So what you want to do is you
want to throw dice, right, But you're gonna need to
to do that, which means the thing can close the
distance right.
Speaker 3: Correct, and that that Harry is aware of.
Speaker 2: That means everything is hinging on this roll that you're
about to make. Okay, Yes, it's soul correct, and you
can have your ten for your dice because you're using
your dice. But if you don't make this, we're fading
to black and it's going to be bad.
Speaker 3: Sure, all right, all right, you can.
Speaker 2: Burn as long as it's not doubles or another worldly reckoning.
Speaker 3: Is sure a bad doubles mind you, it's right because
I can get doubles. I will, I will know that.
Speaker 2: Yes, sorry, Well.
Speaker 3: I've been for Cossey's sake. There was no good doubles
there now, But all right, ten shifty said yep, and.
Speaker 2: I feel obligated to remind you that there is the
possibility to burn out, which means you just do the
thing that you want to do, but you do have
to roll.
Speaker 3: On that D one hundred to see if you die
for sure, remember which I now have an extra percent.
Speaker 2: So it's ninety nine or one hundred will kill you. Okay?
Speaker 3: Correct? All right, you said a ten shift because of
the die. So do I still get my five extra
for gambling? No?
Speaker 2: No, I did five for the dice and then five
for the gambling.
Speaker 3: Was beautiful.
Speaker 2: For each component.
Speaker 3: Yep, okay, fair well, I wouldn't do anything better there.
Speaker 2: Now, technically you're supposed to roll again and take.
Speaker 3: The worst of Oh you're right, you'll right, thank you? Which,
Oh no, I needed doubles, that's what you were saying. No,
I don't know.
Speaker 2: You just need a success for this one thing.
Speaker 3: You know, everything's been going so smooth and swinging the
swimming lead. I figure, why not take three more burn
and make that a nineteen?
Speaker 2: Because I can do that. But what doesn't that put
you at what burn? Are you So you're going to
roll another major condition? Shit, Harry, Okay.
Speaker 3: All right, nothing if not a gam Brooke.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair. Also, this is an anime as hell moment.
Right as you're pushing your body beyond its mortal limits
to do this, you're going to take three burn and
then you're going to turn the luck in your favor,
swapping that ninety one to a nineteen. It's almost like
the universe blinked and didn't notice and you pulled a
fast one on it. So go ahead and roll your
major burn condition.
Speaker 3: Please, that's a second eight.
Speaker 2: Yep. So you're gonna have to roll again because you
already have them.
Speaker 3: Oh, I was hoping that would Sorry, that's okay. I
can't recall you.
Speaker 2: Oh I love this one.
Speaker 3: This is the gap.
Speaker 2: This is the gaped condition. Okay you it's a good
test because I want to know if this you understand
what I wrote here.
Speaker 3: So you go in, yeah, gabbed when you awake. You
can't recall yesterday. Tomorrow. You won't recall today, but yesterday
we'll return in your perfect clarity mind the gap, I see.
So basically, you've got to I've got a I can
live in the moment, and then I wake up and
I don't remember the prior day.
Speaker 2: If you don't remember yesterday, no matter what day it.
Speaker 3: Is, yep, correct, that day doesn't get remembered.
Speaker 2: There's like a hole there. So you're gonna have to
write some ship down Harry. That's fun, is hell? Right?
Speaker 3: That is? I don't like the minus tend to soul checks.
That's not ideal, but nonetheless that is the success. I
do have a question with the flip and all of this. No,
I still don't get that's right. I don't get the
tick toward awakening.
Speaker 2: Despot that it does make it.
Speaker 3: Yep, that's all right.
Speaker 2: So I don't know how you're gonna explain this, but
you have an instinct to roll the dice and throw
it at this thing.
Speaker 3: So the instinct is the mining tumble the mind shaft.
When I did, you did it, and that's when I
rolled the burnout roll. Yep, that's right, Okay, So my
instinct I felt I felt something then, and I knew
it was head. It was well, you said it was
hairy at the time, So I figure, what else do
I have to lose at this point? And the answer
is my life I can tell that with this thing,
so well might as well gamble on it if it's
already going to get lost. And so I throw the
dice right at this thing's double row of teeth.
Speaker 2: Okay, again, you can't for those listening and visualizing, he
can't actually see it, but he's seen it in his mind.
So he's throwing the best place where he thinks it is.
And because he's rolled this nineteen, the dice are going
to get consumed by this darkness, and in the in
you moving, the time it takes you to throw the
dice at this thing, he is going to rush forward
and you are going to be surrounded and covered in darkness, Harry,
and then there's nothing for you for a good while. Meanwhile,
back to Jim and Akauchi in the acid, which is
a sentence I never thought I would say, how's it
going over there with you locked? Jim? How you feeling.
Speaker 3: Burned severely?
Speaker 6: Like somebody transported acid through my radio and now it's
seeping all over my body.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's I mean, it was the success,
so I don't think it's getting your skin, but it
is going to burn a hole in your poor coat.
Speaker 6: Okay, but I'm trying to like angle it towards the
ropes while also trying not to get it on myself.
Speaker 3: And am I going to have to make her role.
Speaker 6: To make it?
Speaker 2: We're going to do a body roll for that.
Speaker 6: Let's see how lucky I am?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's been real bad today.
Speaker 3: Huh, I'm afraid.
Speaker 2: Oh my god? Okay, what is this?
Speaker 3: Look?
Speaker 7: I cut to your road for to get haunted his hell?
Speaker 6: Somehow I'm able to whip my radio round this perfect
angle and drip the acid only on the rope, And
as I feel it starting to pull apart, I rip
the the rope apart with my hands and quickly toss
the radio that's still seeping acid. So now my hands
are free.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 2: And then you're able to untie your ankles.
Speaker 6: Oh wow, I that's a new one. Okay, then I
thought I was gonna lose my hands there. And as
I look back at the acid, it's eating through the concrete.
Speaker 3: What is that stuff? Oh gole Thorpe? What what are
you doing with that stuff? Oh? Man?
Speaker 6: Well, does look like they're gonna have a chance to
contact a kachi? Sounded a bit different. Maybe it's just
a radio reception down here. Surprised we were able to
get reception. But then again, one am I thinking gets interdimensional,
so of course it works. I hope they didn't hear
me up there.
Speaker 2: And at this time, I think you're gonna hear some
voices as they're like clamoring and the I mean you
did shouting, like oh my god. So I think they're
definitely running down here. So you have one thing that
you get to do to try to get out of
this situation before they open that door. What is it?
Speaker 6: Oh boy? And this broom has only got one exit, right.
Speaker 2: I think so. I mean it's a warehouse, so there
might be two doors. But basically, let's say that there's
a door kind of in to your lift, and then
to your right there's another door, and you hear them
coming down the stairwell and then there's like a garage door,
but that shit shut.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I'm going to run for the one
door that and I have a shot at opening.
Speaker 2: Okay, that was the right answer, because you could open
that door and get back into the office. So let's
make a roll. Holy shit, this one's your mind because
that's your magic stat and you do get wait, calm,
is a cucumber. That's not the name of yours, but
it would be steel. It's the one nerves of steel.
I'll give you a shift on that, so you can
have five for this your mind.
Speaker 6: Quickly, try and recompose myself after for all of that.
Let's give it a shot.
Speaker 2: Oh, you can take a burn if you want to
reroll that. Yeah, I look out of here.
Speaker 3: I don't want to stay here right right? The same
five shift?
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, today is the worst that's any I
can't believe to note that? Do you might need to know?
Like right now, I'm imagining you're running to the door
and you're thinking yourself, this is the worst case scenario.
This is the worst thing that could happen to me.
What's the second worst thing that could be on the
other side of this door.
Speaker 6: The second worst thing that could be on the other
side of this door is like you're leading right into
the office, leading right into the office of none other
than Tony Spamoni, the head of the family.
Speaker 2: That's exactly what happens. Do you think he's there, Yeah, okay, I.
Speaker 3: Think that he's looking through papers and then he looks up.
Speaker 2: What Yeah, and you are you're there, Like you open
the door, you come in, it's in the office. He's there.
He's got maybe a phone and he's just looking at it.
He's got a cigar and he's looking at you like
what the he hell do you run into the door here?
And we're a switch.
Speaker 3: Back over to you.
Speaker 2: Lot in the office. We're gonna go with Harry first. Harry, Harry,
you wake up? Where are you?
Speaker 3: Oh? Now to clarify here in the office or just
in general, it's.
Speaker 2: In general, you're not in the office. Where are you?
Speaker 3: Ah? Okay, that's what I wanted to know.
Speaker 2: It would be somewhere buried in your subconscious.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm I'm dead, That's what I'm thinking. Mind
if I give you a coin flip for me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, yep.
Speaker 3: Either my partment where I lived before I was arrested,
where I was working as surveillance all the interrogation room.
Speaker 2: The interrogation room. Because my instinct was that you're back
in jail from episode one and you think it's all
a fucking fever dream.
Speaker 3: Sure, yep, but it'd be I was thinking it's specifically
the interrogation room, maybe right empty right before the mercurial
came in feeling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like that.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: So you just wake up in this interrogation room in
Actually we're gonna pause there, Acuchi, can't I back to you?
What are you two doing? All you heard was Jim
scream and then the radio went.
Speaker 4: Did okay but sounds like it worked. Okay, Back to
figuring out how to get Harry back, and.
Speaker 7: They'll go back to older's room because when she went
to orders, if just like open up everything and anything
to see there's anything useful helpful there.
Speaker 2: I mean, there are books in here, there's a but
her bow is on the wall. There's a rifle on
the wall. There's a couple of objects on the wall,
like a book and maybe a bag of something looks
like a little magical pouch. There's a picture that's turned
down on the desk.
Speaker 7: Is there any indication on the bag? I don't think
a catch you would notice it, But is anything that
you think Canna would notice that would meet them understand.
Speaker 2: That this is a I think can losing his shit
if that's okay, Like I mean looking at the books,
Like as he's looking around, he's looking at the titles
of these books, and this is like heaving a lot
of magical information in him. But yeah, probably, I think
it's easy for him to assess everything in here is
pretty potent somehow, just maybe not knowing how.
Speaker 4: They have so many questions for order when whenever she
gets back, let's the bag and.
Speaker 7: They're going to just open up the bag and see
there's anything useful in there.
Speaker 2: Why are you guys just touching my shit? Go ahead
and make a roll, please, You're right, I'm doing something important.
You just don't know what it is yet, or maybe
pickles fried pickles. Yeah, go ahead and make soul roll.
So basically, when when Akin is piloting, it will do soul,
and then when you're piloting, we'll do mine. Okay, so
it is, and I'll get you your shape here at
the end of the episode.
Speaker 7: It's three off.
Speaker 2: Do you want to burn? Brings it up to eight?
I mean, it's only life or death. It's probably fine.
Speaker 3: There was no shift for that.
Speaker 2: Nope.
Speaker 7: Oh wait, no, that's that is a success because my
high Yeah got.
Speaker 2: Nice thinking on your feet. Okay, so that means you
don't have to roll on the major burn table when
you open somebody else's things that don't belong to you. Okay,
you open this pouch and you're gonna find a bunch
of sand in here. It's just sand in this pouch,
that's right.
Speaker 7: Can I tell if it's just mundane scend or just anything.
Speaker 2: It's probably magical, but we don't know how.
Speaker 4: We don't know what.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, we don't know what exactly the sand is.
Speaker 4: It's not going to be I don't think. Okay, see,
how badly do you want Harry back?
Speaker 7: Kind of badly. That thing looked terrifying. I don't know
if Harry can handle it on their own. Okay, I'm
going to go to back to the desk where had
made this circle with the screw driver, the coffe the
and the the cord again. I'm gonna try summoning carry
hair again. I'm gonna burn out.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Okay, holy shit, that's so satin. Okay, that
means you roll your burnout roll first. Please don't die?
Could you not die?
Speaker 7: And it could be wildo.
Speaker 2: By the way, it's episode eight, which is creepy as hell.
That did all this, All these bad rules are happening anyway,
Go ahead, Jesus Christ, Okay.
Speaker 3: Don't roll the third one hundred.
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. I saw the fu I saw the burnout
margin at one hundred. I thought you rolled a hundred.
Holy shit, motherfucker.
Speaker 3: We forgot to ask to switch that for this because
everything else shows the value first that we need to do.
You want to It's hilarious, it's.
Speaker 2: But it's fine. Hey, roll the thirty seven, by the way. Okay,
I just saw the hundred and panicked. My heart fell
through my ass. Okay, you survive barely, set your burn
to zero, clear all your burn conditions, and reduce your
burnout margin by one, which means next time you do
this it's ninety nine or one hundred, it will kill you. Okay,
but this does mean you auto succeed. That's the thing
that you wanted to do. It's like a fucking moment
that happens. So keep in mind, however, that Ken is
still gonna need like three things that make sense, however,
because this needs to work because you've rolled burnout to
earn it. I'm gonna say the bag on the for
the mail on the stand is helpful because that is
a teleportation like magical bag that you could use to
boost this. That's one of the items that I will
give you, and the rest you need to come up
with yourself.
Speaker 7: And I seem not from way of saying, but can
I reuse the cardigan and the coffee?
Speaker 2: The cardigan and the coffee you can reuse, but you
would want to use the cardgan, not the coffee and
the like. You would want to repour more coffee onto
the cardgan. The act of that was part of why
I succeeded you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I'd do that. And I think instead of
using the coffee to make the kind of situ around
our used to some of the sand to kind of
order the circle around the drench cardigan.
Speaker 2: You can't just be using magical componentsies you don't know
what they do. God damn it. Okay, all right, I
think seeing Jesus is going to be that meme of
the pizza coming in. What the fuck is going on?
Speaker 7: I think, you canna. I think this is a clear
sign of how it cannot go into this message of
how recklessly they're using magic and magic items her sorry
spring or the sand around and then I think sitting
you see them very awkwardly trying sits in Harry's care
as they do this as an additional like almost like
a grounding method to bring.
Speaker 4: Harry.
Speaker 7: And they place their hands their fingers in the sand,
close their eyes behind this mask, and I think, whatever
Harry is from the corner of your eye, and every
time if you look at it, it disappears. But from
the corner of your eye, you swear you see a
screwdriver kind of turning in the air and then moving
down and then turning again in the air, as if
it's removing some screws from a panel of some kind,
like right beside your face, Like it's right at the peripheral,
right beside your face, and every time you look it
seems to shift to make sure it stays in the peripheral.
And then once the fourth invisible screw is under done,
this almost spectral scow driver disappears. The screw driver in
front of a catch stactually kinda breaks the shatters, It
kind of winces within the masks as they see their
torsion brake and Harry. It's like as the this almost
invisible panel disappears, you're looking through a window at a catch,
you just this space in space opened up, and very
suddenly it gets big and engulfs you and almost like
the door comes to you really bringing you into the office.
Speaker 2: I love that. And I think it starts, Harry, as
a reflection in the interview window room that you think
you see, and then it kind of expands and becomes saturated,
and then all of a sudden, it's lack paper has
ripped in half reality as you're getting sucked into the office,
and then a Kochi a kenna. You see Akochi wearing
this Halloween mask that's got a crack in it. And
as this is happening, I feel like you are also
doing your burnout role. So you are kind of overcome
with like magic and pushing yourself beyond your limits. And
then you're gonna collapse to the ground, and Harry, you're
gonna walk into the office, and then we're probably gonna
immediately the door is gonna open and Gus is gonna
come in and say I can't find Jim. And that's
where we're gonna end the episode. Well, you've been listening
