1
00:00:02.439 --> 00:00:05.839
<v Speaker 1>Hello everyone, and thank you for listening to ghost Wax.

2
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:09.439
<v Speaker 1>We are very happy to be releasing episodes again and

3
00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:12.519
<v Speaker 1>plan to do so throughout the coming year. We will

4
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.839
<v Speaker 1>be releasing three episodes and then taking one week off

5
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:18.519
<v Speaker 1>each month to keep up with production and to stay

6
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:22.320
<v Speaker 1>within our budget, and your support is our budget, so

7
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>we want to thank all of our Patreon members who

8
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>made season two possible. We are now offering ad free

9
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 1>versions of season one, the May's Mouth Interlude, and season two,

10
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.479
<v Speaker 1>as well as bonus episodes and side stories in the

11
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 1>ghost Wax world. We are a totally independent endeavor, so

12
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>if you can join us on Patreon, make a one

13
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.960
<v Speaker 1>time donation on coffee, or spread the show by word

14
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>of mouth, we greatly appreciate all of it. During our

15
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.520
<v Speaker 1>weeks off, we plan to run feed drops, so other

16
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>creators please reach out, produce flash fiction, host scary movie nights,

17
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.159
<v Speaker 1>and find other ways to interact with the fantastic community

18
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.679
<v Speaker 1>that has found our show. And on occasion we will

19
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:06.719
<v Speaker 1>bring you short case review episodes like the one we

20
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>have for you today.

21
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:18.480
<v Speaker 2>A case review does seem long overdue. Mostly the sort

22
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.159
<v Speaker 2>of thing is handled by other members of the Order,

23
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.200
<v Speaker 2>but honestly it might do me some good and maybe

24
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 2>good to get used to. Can't help but feel overwhelmed.

25
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 2>I've talked to more living people this year than in

26
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:39.840
<v Speaker 2>the last twenty. Luke, our partnership and dare I say

27
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:46.640
<v Speaker 2>friendship has been good for me? Undoubtedly, Sometimes you just

28
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>have to connect with the young, as terrifying and confusing

29
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:54.319
<v Speaker 2>as that can be. Each generation and I have seen

30
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:59.239
<v Speaker 2>many folds and twists experience around themselves in such dizzying

31
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:04.159
<v Speaker 2>new ways. The intersection between culture and technology and the

32
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 2>greater mind are as bewildering as the maze itself. The maze,

33
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Luca does put me in mind of it.

34
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:15.479
<v Speaker 1>Well.

35
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.759
<v Speaker 2>The boys not just changed my experience, but the whole

36
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.240
<v Speaker 2>order's endeavor. Being able to capture in sound the other

37
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:27.319
<v Speaker 2>world voices of the dead. What a difference a single

38
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:33.759
<v Speaker 2>invention can make for good or ill. Philippa too, who

39
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.919
<v Speaker 2>I must admit I found a bit crass at first.

40
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Being able to glean the future does understandably lend one

41
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 2>a great amount of confidence. But heavens, I'd never met

42
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.599
<v Speaker 2>any one who could build up a head of steam

43
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:55.159
<v Speaker 2>like her, not in this time around the wheel at least.

44
00:02:56.240 --> 00:03:01.120
<v Speaker 2>But oh, how she's grown on me. No, that's not right.

45
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 2>It's more that I understand her better and quite adore

46
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:10.039
<v Speaker 2>what I have found. Well, look at that I sat

47
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.599
<v Speaker 2>down to do a case review and I instead gushed

48
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:17.080
<v Speaker 2>about my new associates. What a sentimental old fool. We've

49
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:23.120
<v Speaker 2>become so m to the matter at hand. As to

50
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.919
<v Speaker 2>the case that led to the lodging of young Charles

51
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Baybridge at the Ardent, we have seen no further sign

52
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.759
<v Speaker 2>of staring eye entities, but have learned to our pain

53
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 2>that these entities, the stalkers and hunters, are ever patient.

54
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:43.599
<v Speaker 2>Both Philippa and Charles are being stalked by similar entities,

55
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 2>both hiding within the fortified walls of the Ardent, waiting

56
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.560
<v Speaker 2>for our hunters to liberate them. I hope the two

57
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:55.400
<v Speaker 2>of them can take comfort in a shared plight, though

58
00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 2>they don't always seem to get along. Though I'd love

59
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:05.120
<v Speaker 2>to have them here on hand indefinitely, as I quite

60
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:09.280
<v Speaker 2>enjoy them both. I'll see if I can set them

61
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>at ease sooner. Um hm, I'll move Carrie Beldath onto it.

62
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 2>The location of Samut's tomb can wait, and if anyone

63
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:26.360
<v Speaker 2>can find the vile observer and some arrant eyeballs. Carrie

64
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>can reports on Dotty Jean Barlow have disappeared off into

65
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:37.560
<v Speaker 2>northern China. I'll admit this is a tough case to

66
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:41.560
<v Speaker 2>make adjudications. On putting Luca in danger as she did

67
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.879
<v Speaker 2>makes me want to call a hammer down on her.

68
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.639
<v Speaker 2>But as far as these things go, her actions are

69
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 2>not the most objectionable, though despite what some Order members mutter,

70
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 2>she is not to be commended. Our entire charter pins

71
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 2>on limiting the harm unto humanity by the other world.

72
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 2>For blast sake, It's why we started the whole endeavor,

73
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:09.319
<v Speaker 2>and we cannot sanction such violence, even if it is

74
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:16.199
<v Speaker 2>being targeted at unpleasant individuals and organizations. Playing favorites leads

75
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:21.720
<v Speaker 2>to corruption. I have seen it before. No one deserves

76
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.800
<v Speaker 2>to be cooked alive, not a dog and not a man.

77
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.079
<v Speaker 2>A cruelty does not make a wrong right. And how

78
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:35.959
<v Speaker 2>now I've gotten all fluffered. All that being said, we

79
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:40.160
<v Speaker 2>have vastly more pressing matters, so I'll not make any

80
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.959
<v Speaker 2>push on this case. I only hope I don't regret

81
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:49.800
<v Speaker 2>that later. Dottie, wherever you are, please stop stuffing people.

82
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh that blasted picture utterly elusive has damn near killed

83
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 2>two different Theomatages lords. Perhaps we should just crammed the

84
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.959
<v Speaker 2>damn thing in the vaults, but I suppose we can

85
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 2>leave it in rotation for another turn or two. Oh yes, ah,

86
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.000
<v Speaker 2>I very nearly convinced Luca to go under cover in

87
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.839
<v Speaker 2>the school that showed activity of violent others, but he

88
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:22.519
<v Speaker 2>was intensely anxious about the whole affair. Understandably, he'd only

89
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:25.879
<v Speaker 2>really just be gotten casework, and before I could boaster

90
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.839
<v Speaker 2>and cajole him, that case went quite dark, no further

91
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 2>signs of violence. However, I broached the subject with Charles,

92
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:38.879
<v Speaker 2>who has quite a youthful aspect. We might not need

93
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 2>to apply any sculpting glamours to him at all. Philippo

94
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.920
<v Speaker 2>was present, and what did she say? Are you seriously

95
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>going to twenty one jump street?

96
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:49.319
<v Speaker 3>It?

97
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what that means, but I would indeed

98
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:57.360
<v Speaker 2>like to jump this particular street, and I believe Charles

99
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.920
<v Speaker 2>could pull it off. All the more reason to sort

100
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:07.800
<v Speaker 2>the matter of his stocking as quickly as possible. And finally,

101
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.959
<v Speaker 2>I don't suppose there's any way out of it. I'm

102
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:15.560
<v Speaker 2>certain to be censured for my raising adelaide as an enkindled.

103
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:20.240
<v Speaker 2>There are reasons some things are forbidden, but when those

104
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:25.040
<v Speaker 2>reasons are for the personal benefit of Wihamsa, I must object.

105
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:30.120
<v Speaker 2>There were reasons to censure Dalton for his whole genetic

106
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.399
<v Speaker 2>Paragon program and his creation of the Servant, good reasons,

107
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.040
<v Speaker 2>but I can't help think why it was confirmed was

108
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.519
<v Speaker 2>not because of those good reasons, but because he had

109
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:46.759
<v Speaker 2>made things that could hurt us. There are few things

110
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.639
<v Speaker 2>in this world that can harm us, truly, and the

111
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:54.160
<v Speaker 2>surest way to transgress and be admonished is to make one,

112
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:58.959
<v Speaker 2>which I have done and do not regret. She is

113
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:06.360
<v Speaker 2>a wonder creedy, greedy old man that I am. Luca

114
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.600
<v Speaker 2>and Pip and Charles weren't wonder enough. I had to

115
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:15.560
<v Speaker 2>make a fourth. Well, this was pleasant enough. I guess

116
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.759
<v Speaker 2>I should get used to doing review, data entry and

117
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:23.720
<v Speaker 2>low level maje RTE services. After Odia, Olivia and Massetts

118
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.480
<v Speaker 2>are done with me. It's likely to be all I'm

119
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:34.360
<v Speaker 2>allowed to do, though best not to dwell. Maybe I'll

120
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:37.399
<v Speaker 2>take Luca, Pip and Charles up on the offer of

121
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.039
<v Speaker 2>a movie film. Oh Lord, what did I just say? Well,

122
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.159
<v Speaker 2>no one heard me. Oh, but it's been recorded. Well,

123
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:50.759
<v Speaker 2>my saying movie film will just be our little secret. Okay,

124
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:57.000
<v Speaker 2>whoever's listening our little secret.

125
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:11.639
<v Speaker 3>Well, old man, it's true. I miss you. I miss

126
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:12.200
<v Speaker 3>you dearly,
