Speaker 1: You are listening to table story.
Speaker 2: Deathless is an improvised cinematic narrative with live production, including
music and dialog.
Speaker 3: There is no script.
Speaker 2: This story contains violence, disturbing imagery, adult themes, and a
darkness which may lead you doubting for more. Proceed at
your own risk.
Speaker 4: A logit of fight from Shade ho loget of fact
from me.
Speaker 5: That you say, stand up for the thing which you
can't stand A.
Speaker 6: Loud Previously on Deathless, Stalker successfully cuts through the dimensional
veil and he reunites the party in an alleyway where
they find the dead body of the creature that Estebon
and Constantine fought. Before they leave, they discover something strange
etched on this woman's tongue, and they take it with
them back of the apartment. Information starts being shared, raising
more questions and providing answers. Constantine becomes frustrated and leaves.
Gunner has a private moment in the bathroom where he
eats the tongue that they found, causing mysterious circumstances. It
becomes clear to everyone that there's much to talk about,
much to catch up on, and hopefully answers to find.
Speaker 7: Don't look at me. I'm not going to interrupt someone's
instruction from previously, I would never.
Speaker 6: Uncivilized rude, even the fact is Cora has you know,
no fact, absolutely nothing to.
Speaker 7: Do with it at all. Although if I were to
take a break from interrupting someone, it would probably be
for Cora. I wouldn't want to interrupt myself, now, would I?
You would never, never in a million years.
Speaker 3: That's a perfect place to start. Inside the apartment. Who
do we got? I think everyone except for Constantine, right, yes,
all right, take it away, kids.
Speaker 6: I think one thing I forgot to mention is the
fact that there was the phone.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 6: You guys are in the bathroomone yep in his pocket.
Speaker 3: Yep, that's right.
Speaker 8: Who has the phone?
Speaker 3: I believe it still Moog, yep, I still have. We're
going back and forth and then see if it would
work or not.
Speaker 7: That's right, And it didn't work in the bathroom.
Speaker 6: Interesting, and Moo comments that something like this shouldn't exist yet,
and he's afraid.
Speaker 7: Yes.
Speaker 6: I think I would look at Mook then and say,
why why does it make you afraid? It's sure it's
a weird model of phone, and I haven't seen anything
like that before. But it's just a phone.
Speaker 7: Because if this, this right here, looks like a clear
evolution of what we have current, which would make me
believe that it's from the future. Yes, and if we
have to worry about bullshit popping in from the future,
we have a whole new set of problems to worry about.
Speaker 6: We're potentially already dealing with multiple dimensions.
Speaker 9: But yes, but we could be dealing with we could
be dealing with multiple dimensions and giant robots, laser death beams, cannons.
Speaker 5: What do you say a robot?
Speaker 7: Oh, it is sort of like how they put it,
a giant man made entirely out of metal, with fingers
that shoot not missiles you would know, missiles.
Speaker 10: Cannon balls, and eyes that can channel the power of
the sun.
Speaker 5: These are things that the man has created as well.
Speaker 7: Not yet, but it could be in the future.
Speaker 5: I see, I see, at.
Speaker 7: Least not that we're aware of yet. So there are
some places, some message boards where some might say that
there are giant robots made by the government set to
kill us all.
Speaker 11: Potentially.
Speaker 7: But that's why this is so frightening to me.
Speaker 3: And I love the phone.
Speaker 6: Is it still not working?
Speaker 3: Are you in the room with Stalker. Yes, if you are,
then yeah, it's not working, or then no, it's not working.
And if I remember correctly, I think you hadn't a
side with Cora too, didn't you? And you were like,
for some reason, it works when I step out of
the room, and then yep, yeah, okay.
Speaker 6: He tested it with me, yeap walking.
Speaker 5: He listened to the voicemail, right, Yes, that's right you did,
didn't you.
Speaker 7: Only for a moment though, Yes, And I don't care
to make sense of it at all.
Speaker 12: Yeah, voicemail.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you just did. I think it
was just Moog. And then of course the audience heard
it because we played it for for sneak sees. But
I don't even know if Moog listened to the whole thing,
or if he would have been like, no, I'm out.
Speaker 7: Okay, I probably would have played the whole thing, but
I didn't listen to it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I wouldn't know how to stop it.
Speaker 7: Yes.
Speaker 5: Oh, Also just to remind us that, well, we don't
know this, although it didn't seem like the greatest attempt
to lie, but that Gunner lied about what was happening there.
He told us fell, he said, I forget what it was.
Speaker 8: The tongue exploded.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay.
Speaker 8: Believe me, guys, Okay, I didn't eat a tongue. We
don't talk about that, Okay.
Speaker 5: No matter how ancient I am. I know that's weird.
Speaker 6: Good thing the phone appeared when it did. What a
great distraction.
Speaker 11: Oh yes, Either this is a message of what's to come,
or it was given to us as a sort of guide.
But why.
Speaker 13: This thing?
Speaker 7: A guy? Do you think? Why me in my pocket?
Speaker 6: Look A good question?
Speaker 5: Then you only just noticed this right now as you
sat here with your exploding tongue.
Speaker 11: I know it wasn't in my pocket before we come
back here.
Speaker 14: I know that.
Speaker 7: And you're sure Hanzel didn't bring it with it.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. That is an amazing name for your your
hand homunculous pet.
Speaker 15: Holy shit, And so I didn't even its fucking layers, dude, whoa?
Speaker 3: Okay, I guess it.
Speaker 16: Could have come back with us through the ripped from
stock garmon. I know it wasn't in my pocket, just.
Speaker 6: Appeared there, or it appeared because something happened with the tongue.
Maybe when it exploded, some sort of magical resonance caused
the phone to be pulled into our reality, and I
think after talking this through, I would try to sense
if there's any magical residue in the room or anything
that would either confirm or larify that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, go ahead and roll for me. You can
rule your magic. That difficulty is forty okay, but don okay, yes,
you're you are right on the money. I do think
that you sense Maybe I don't know how Kora would
experience this, but I guess I'm imagining like a weird
tether that you may kind of see you or feel
from the phone to you, but it's not you. It's
t ishna, like an accidental magnet. But you know, it
wasn't purposeful. It's just weird result of something happening with
the tongue.
Speaker 6: Why would it be connected to.
Speaker 5: Though?
Speaker 3: Are you asking me? Or are you? Is Cora asking?
Speaker 17: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay, uh no?
Speaker 6: I yeah, I think I think I would find that
very surprising. Yeah, that not only is there a but
it's tied to me. Yeah, because I would think I
didn't have anything to do with this. Yeah, Like I
wasn't here when the tongue exploded. It probably takes me
a couple of seconds to work out like, well, maybe
it's not me, Maybe it's something about me, and I
would think of Ashna. Yeah, I think I'd throw the
question his way and say, do you have something to
do with this?
Speaker 14: Oh? Perceived?
Speaker 6: I was really expecting that. Did you call the phone
to us?
Speaker 14: No, seems to be an accident.
Speaker 6: What were you trying to do? Instead?
Speaker 14: It wasn't me? It wasn't me?
Speaker 6: And why is there a tether connecting you to it?
Speaker 14: Because guy exists in both places?
Speaker 6: Ah. I would turn my attention back to the room
and ask, okay, well, until we can figure out more,
who wants to be responsible for this strange phone? Moove?
Speaker 7: Oh I will pick me? Yes, me, I would. I
would love to hold on this in me.
Speaker 14: Yes.
Speaker 11: When I was in the bathroom before what happened to
the tonguel, my friend here.
Speaker 18: Reveal Handsel we'll call him now, was very interested in
the tongue before what happened to it happened?
Speaker 11: Do you mind if he sees it.
Speaker 7: A phone? All right? I hold it. I don't I
have a firm grip on it that I hold it up.
Speaker 12: I'm opening my jacket for him to come out.
Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, he will. Well, yeah, I don't know if
he hid back in your jacket, but yeah, he responds
to you. You're holding the phone out for him, yes,
just to look at then, yeah, I guess his like
his little wide owl eye will inspect it and look
over it. But then it moves over to Gunner like
it's confused, doesn't really know what Gunner wants it to
do with this, and then it looks back to the
to the phone, and then back to Gunner, and then
back to the phone and then back to Gunner.
Speaker 8: I'll put him in my hands, like cupping him.
Speaker 11: Did you want me to find this?
Speaker 3: I think it's eye goes a little wide, like it
might be in trouble, and then it does a very
very tiny, almost imperceptible two for no, right, like with
it's just his fingers. Instead of hopping, it just taps
no on your hand.
Speaker 7: Now, I don't know what is that a yes or
a no? I don't know your little code? Are you more?
Speaker 11: I would find something like this.
Speaker 3: It taps no again, but it waits for a second
like it's struggling to answer, like it wants to say
more but it can't. Obviously, do you know who that
belongs to definitely very quick two taps. Everyone else will
probably be able to see this too, Like he was
very quick to reply.
Speaker 8: Now, I guess I want to see if he can
do anything with it. So I'll like bend down and
or bring him to the phone.
Speaker 7: If Moo is.
Speaker 11: Holding it, yeah, I'll like hold it out.
Speaker 8: For him to like maybe grab it or do what
he would want with it.
Speaker 3: He doesn't seem to want to touch it, yeah, but
he seems to want to stay on your hand and
his eye, his big owl eye moves back up to you,
like I don't know what this is. This isn't you know.
Speaker 7: So I'm just.
Speaker 8: Standing there cupping him in my hand, like in front
of me, holding his phone, and I'll just say, okay,
thank you, put him bacon.
Speaker 3: And he'll curl up in your coat and go rest.
Hansel is the official name, now, all right, ridiculous?
Speaker 5: I was hoping for a monk. Well, if this has
not a beer since the tongue exploded, perhaps we should
figure out who this symbol and the tongue belongs to.
Speaker 7: Yes, I think that's a good idea, maybe an answer
for once.
Speaker 5: I'm going to go into the nicer room than.
Speaker 3: This, yeah, and then into the bathroom. So you're heading
out into the living room.
Speaker 6: See all right, I would follow him.
Speaker 7: I'd follow her a little train.
Speaker 13: I opened the porthole to get there first.
Speaker 8: Bug, I'll go back in the bathroom and start cleaning
up the mess to the best I can, shoveling little
pieces of tongue into like my hand and throwing him
in the trash.
Speaker 14: Can do.
Speaker 13: I actually think I follow him? I'm just standing in
the doorway watching him clean.
Speaker 3: You're not gonna help, You're just gonna watch him pick
up pieces of tongue scoop it into the what the toilet?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 3: Gross? Okay, Well, while they're doing that meanwhile in the
living room.
Speaker 5: So what do I know about this person that was
controlling the body that the tongue was in? And they
had a shadow that appeared to be a spider that could,
while very informative to me, it could grab and hold you.
And then at some point I had felt them in
my head trying to take hold of me, to steal
my will and make my body no longer my own.
They said this is their city and they would like
to I didn't understand. I won't to know how it
got here how many of us there were, and we
sort of attached to see if we could survive, and
if we did, we could meet them in two days
time at the same alley.
Speaker 6: Wait, you said it tried to take over your body.
Speaker 5: I felt it inside my head, like crawling around trying
to find purchase to grab hold of my wheel.
Speaker 6: See do you think if it had it could have
controlled you?
Speaker 5: That is what it felt like, was trying to do.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 6: Gunner told us about that person he encountered outside the bar.
Speaker 5: See this is the same one.
Speaker 6: Or maybe there's just instead of kindred beings that can
puppet bodies. We don't know, and maybe the same person,
or it could just be a different species.
Speaker 5: Okay, question because I don't remember this specific thing. But
did Gunner relay to us what was said to him
when he was grabbing the person that got taken over?
I know it was a long time ago. I remember
that something was said that's important to this question right now,
but I don't know if it was relayed to us.
Speaker 8: What I did say to you guys is that after
it happened, I said that something confronted me in the
alleyway and asked me who was my sire or where
my sire was. And then I believe an episode or
two ago, I said that I've encountered who we encountered
the Okay, you know the puppet master before I didn't
say it controlled me. However, I don't believe it.
Speaker 5: Was controlling someone else, right, yeah, okay, they had asked,
and then the alleyway they had recognized him. They addressed
him mainly at first.
Speaker 14: And.
Speaker 5: They knew where we are right away. And other people
we have met, people who have a powerful magic. Even
this is a woman on a Bourbon street. They did
not know who we are until we had to inform them.
Speaker 6: Wait, when you left the Lucky Rabbit, you were saying
you wanted to go out and look for more kindred.
Did you find any?
Speaker 5: Yep, we did not find any unless this was one.
We found a terrifying woman, as I said, some matter
of brucha in a bar.
Speaker 14: But she.
Speaker 5: And a friend, another friend who I had a very
familiar feeling about him. But they were not kindred at all.
Speaker 6: Do you know what they were? Did they say?
Speaker 5: I say it, but oil accounts they were just humans
some powerful magic.
Speaker 6: So they could cast.
Speaker 5: Yes, she told me I learned something from her a
spell of some sort. She pulled the memories from our minds,
and upon entering her domain, my will had well, it
was not completely my own and my power or anything
I felt that was not just my body. It was gone.
I could not do it. It was like it was
being pulled from me.
Speaker 6: Then she sounds like a very powerful witch or made
or something.
Speaker 5: And she had told us that there are no Kindred
in this city. As far as she's l I do
not believe she was at the time, but that could
be possible.
Speaker 6: I mean, where we come from, we are numerous, we
live in the shadows. We withhold our identity and our
existence from immortals. But as Kindred, it's difficult to travel
very far without finding her own kind.
Speaker 5: Apparently, if you remember here from the bar, then we
are a game here for people to play dress up.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, back that up a bit. Did you say
a game to play dress up?
Speaker 5: See? There are we had people from something called oh
wow or my pronunciation may be wrong, but wow maybe
it was a wu or o wow, but something like this.
But they were able to do magic themselves, and they
were rather scared to even say what we are, and
they informed us we had mentioned a bit of clients
and names and things of this, and they had said
there is a book and it is a game that
people play about Kindred. We were meant to go try
to find this, but we have not done so so far.
Speaker 6: I would hold up my finger like this and go
to side table next to the requiner that Mook has adopted,
and I would take out a journal and find a
pen and come back and start writing. Okay, So, if
we're talking about what we need to do from here,
answers we need to find, should we go find the
book as one of them?
Speaker 5: That is one? Okay, Apparently there is perhaps someone else
in the crypt.
Speaker 7: As well, your seventh perhaps, Tee.
Speaker 5: For what it is worth, I feel much better about
facing whoever is in the coffin in this place.
Speaker 6: I'm not sure I agree, but every I do like
an imperceptible nod. Speaking of the crypt, I've been thinking
about it. New Orleans is different around us. It's not
where I've been living, it's not where Stalker has spent
these last few weeks. Everything was different, including the graveyard,
except Ben said the graves he disturbed were the same.
I'm still wondering when exactly everything changed. I don't think
it's this apartment. I'm not even sure it's a cemetery.
Was it the crypt itself?
Speaker 5: How did you come to find this in the first place?
Speaker 3: The crypt?
Speaker 14: See?
Speaker 6: Well, honestly, we didn't really have a clear direction or answer.
Stalker found me possessing the same rumor that I had
heard myself in a completely different city. Whatever investigation he
had done led him to that specific cemetery, and it
just happened to be the one I was caretaker of.
Speaker 5: How did you come to the caretaker of the cemetery?
Speaker 6: The position opened up and I was willing to take it.
Speaker 5: They contacted you.
Speaker 6: I was in contact with the people who use it
the most. They didn't have anyone to appoint themselves, so
I offered and they gave me the responsibility.
Speaker 5: How long would you taken care of this graveyard?
Speaker 6: Only eight months? So I wasn't here when even Fenn
was buried. You Constantine, surely Gunner, you all were there
for a very long time. But Fenn said it's only
been a matter of a few years for him. If
he was added to the crypt with the rest of you,
it was under the purview of the previous caretaker.
Speaker 7: But why did you volunteer?
Speaker 6: Because it gives me status, status that I am comfortable with.
Speaker 7: And what status is that?
Speaker 6: As caretaker of the cemetery, I protect it, manage it,
and ensure it is available at certain times for certain people.
That's with my clan. Is an important responsibility.
Speaker 7: Yes, but what status does it give you? It's all nice,
but that wasn't the answer to my question.
Speaker 6: Well, for one, it gives me a use with my
clan and also provided me a means of making some
kind of income to a gesture around myself, pay for
this to live. And then my face kind of twists
a little bit and I go, well, here but over.
Speaker 7: There, hit here but over there.
Speaker 6: Well, we've established everything is different about this place. So
my real home, my real apartment. I guess it's in
the other world or the other dimension, or whatever you
want we want to call it. Regardless, there is something
still connecting to cemeteries.
Speaker 5: It must be decrypped itself. See if we had come
out and the FEN recognized the same things when we
returned the game, that has not changed. So things must
have changed before we eased the decrypt.
Speaker 6: It appears that way, or when.
Speaker 7: You entered.
Speaker 6: Well, the entrance that entered through originally was gone.
Speaker 7: And yet your apartment remained intact, exactly how you left it. Yes,
that is curious, isn't it.
Speaker 6: It is.
Speaker 7: Has anything else been different since you've been to this world?
Speaker 6: Everything except for this apartment? Everything. The bookstore run by
my clan that houses rare and informational occult books was
an adult store. The home of the previous caretaker of
the cemetery was no more. The streets are different, the
colors of buildings are different. Shops have turned into other things.
Buildings that have been there for as long as I've
lived in this city are just gone.
Speaker 7: And yet this remains.
Speaker 6: Yes, but I have the sneaking suspicion it is because
of me. My magic creates the space.
Speaker 7: Oh how interesting. If your magic creates this space, then
in theory, your magic could create another space.
Speaker 6: Yes, if so, I don't know how this was unconscious.
I don't know if I can do it consciously.
Speaker 7: Well, not with that attitude, you cannot.
Speaker 6: What are you thinking about?
Speaker 7: I'm thinking we go to wherever this crypt is supposed
to be and you just click your heels three times
with pretty red shoes on and say, I don't know
I didn't get that far in the book, but you
just yes, or I want to go home, or something
to that effect. Then maybe there's no place like home.
That's what it is. And I look very proud of myself.
Speaker 5: I do not wish to go home. I wish to
stay here. But why we don't know why we are here.
Speaker 7: There could be more answers at home.
Speaker 5: There is nothing for me at home I have there
is hundred years.
Speaker 7: That's a long time, isn't it. But think of all
of the and I look at Estebah books you could enjoy.
Speaker 5: There are books here, but then books about us. Wouldn't
you like to read all about yourself?
Speaker 7: I look at Esteban. Actually I kind of do.
Speaker 5: We should find this book. However, all of us who
are put in there, I don't know anything about the
one that remains. But seemingly there is very little in
common for all of us. The only thing that we
have in common.
Speaker 14: Is you.
Speaker 5: And I point to Mook, me and whoever else or
you for the rest of us.
Speaker 7: All the others.
Speaker 6: The proxies.
Speaker 5: Yes, now someone has made this proxy. Perhaps you would
assume with the strict intention of being the proxies for
us who are sitting in the script. And for Cora
and Stalker whoever wherever they were five years ago you said, see,
and the others where they sired that the same time
as you.
Speaker 7: Yes, we were all sired on the same evening by
the same person.
Speaker 6: Do you know the name of this person? It could
be behind this whole thing.
Speaker 7: I could wager a guess. However, the events of that
evening for me, who were fast and few and far between.
If you catch my drift, it was New Year's Eve,
after all.
Speaker 5: I understand the memory of my own siren is perhaps
lost the time. I have no recollection myself. Yet here
I am, here you are.
Speaker 7: Yes, I can tell you. All I remember is dark hair,
lots of kissing.
Speaker 14: Teeth.
Speaker 7: That's it.
Speaker 6: What about the color of their eyes?
Speaker 7: Narrator, mm hmmm, I would like to roll to see
if I could remember the color of my Siah's eyes.
Speaker 3: Go ahead and roll for me, would be mind?
Speaker 7: I assume? Uh?
Speaker 19: Yes, okay, and difficulty M thirty failure fifty eight.
Speaker 3: You can take an oblivion if you want to reroll that.
Speaker 5: No, okay, all right, without remembering that they were green
or blue? Unfortunately, Yeah, it's seething there it's seating the Sorry, yeah.
Speaker 7: I look at Cora, but I'm looking through Cora trying
to retrieve this memory. I don't remember hair teeth, kissing
and knowing me probably a butt or two.
Speaker 5: And all of you and these others are under the
care of the chantry.
Speaker 7: Yes, however, one of the others might have better memory
than I do.
Speaker 6: Well, hopefully that means that fun we'll find out for us.
Speaker 3: Lash cut to Fen having a party with them and
nothing finding.
Speaker 7: They're all having a party and Fenn is sitting in
the corner with his arms crossed. Whatever.
Speaker 3: That's not canon.
Speaker 5: Greg.
Speaker 3: However, back in the bathroom.
Speaker 8: I'm down on my knees and I'm still like scooping
up the larger pieces of this tongue and getting up
to toss them in the toilet bowl. And I like,
get down on my knees again, and.
Speaker 16: I like look up at Stocker and be like, why
don't you grab him up? Or are you just going
to watch? What are you doing?
Speaker 3: Soccer has no concept of picking up after himself. He
just fucking left the glass throw with what is happening here?
Speaker 11: I'm cleaning up trying to make sense of any.
Speaker 8: Of this and I like stand up and face him,
and my hands are just completely bloody.
Speaker 14: What does his face look like?
Speaker 7: I still have.
Speaker 8: Remnants of this whatever was left on my face and shirt.
Speaker 14: Is it like?
Speaker 13: Is it all over?
Speaker 8: You would say? I think I'm pretty sure. I said
I washed my face or something, but my shirt would
be just in this dark bile and blood, and my
face is kind of like just like confusion. And I'm
over this a little bit.
Speaker 7: The tongue.
Speaker 13: Perhaps there was something else to it. We missed some
sort of blood magic. Perhaps it was set to detonate now.
Speaker 7: It wasn't.
Speaker 11: It was a message that I slid down my throat
and ingested myself.
Speaker 20: That's when I felt the form appear in my pocket.
And my friend here, he wanted me to do it.
Speaker 11: I believe.
Speaker 7: That he knows.
Speaker 1: A lot more.
Speaker 16: And I'll sort of walk over to the nearest wall
and with my hands put my finger on the wall, and.
Speaker 11: I'll start drawing something slowly. It's A.
Speaker 7: And then B.
Speaker 11: And I smother my hands in more blood and bile,
and I begin.
Speaker 16: To draw more of the alphabet all around the room,
kind of like in a spiral.
Speaker 3: Four Cora's apartment, there is this.
Speaker 14: Another cleaning method.
Speaker 12: A stucker.
Speaker 11: This is how we will communicate.
Speaker 16: And I'll raise him and raise my jacket again and
I'll pull the hands all out and I'll put him.
Speaker 11: On the floor.
Speaker 13: I say, aside, step inside. I step inside the room
with you.
Speaker 11: Close the door.
Speaker 14: I closed the.
Speaker 16: Door, and I'm kneel down where I'm like looking him
directly in his eye.
Speaker 3: I know you know, darting between you and the wall
and you and the wall. Mm hmm.
Speaker 11: I know you know how to write. Tell me, oh,
is Miriam hale.
Speaker 12: The alphabet?
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. I'm trying to think if you would use
any shorthand lull um, go ahead and roll for me,
for your little friend. You're a little familiar, and this
will be this will be a body roll difficulty forty okay,
oh my lord, okay thirty two. Yeah, he immediately. So
you wrote this on the wall, right, Yeah, I wrote it.
Speaker 8: I basically wrote the alphabet in bile and blood, like
in a spiral around the bathroom. So picture that as
like it.
Speaker 3: Wraps all the way around, yeah, overlap, okay, in a
spiral kind of. So then yeah, the the handsel will
crawl up the wall and go to I d O
N T.
Speaker 21: And oh does that mean it?
Speaker 14: Yes?
Speaker 3: It is? Are you asking me?
Speaker 13: Oh?
Speaker 3: Okay, I didn't think so the room. It's just like
I'm going to kill.
Speaker 22: I'm just being I'm just being so obtous.
Speaker 8: I'm trying to remember because I believe that Hansel showed
him that name because he had an inner question. It
wasn't as if he did he pose that question to
Hansel or I believe like, didn't you say, like, if
you had one question, what would like what would you ask?
Speaker 11: Yes?
Speaker 3: But he wasn't posing it to Hansel. It was simply yeah,
it was out. Hansel had no idea what happened, but
essentially a phone number that was on his hand changed
into this message for stalker.
Speaker 21: Oh yeah, ask it.
Speaker 13: If we are here to kill someone, you ask it.
Speaker 22: I don't react how angry he is.
Speaker 23: I just.
Speaker 13: Like totally flat face, just turned to the are we
here to kill someone?
Speaker 3: Same thing? I D O N T N O. And
then actually, after a second, if you guys don't do anything,
it will then skid her back to I don't no,
and then it goes who you are? E?
Speaker 13: Yeah, are deathless?
Speaker 3: He doesn't react. He just waits, eye wide looking between
the two of you is grotesque sewn in teeth, shining
in the fucking bathroom light? Do you horrifying creature? Yes?
Speaker 13: I know the name of the one who created you.
Speaker 3: Why it goes to the why it.
Speaker 13: Could be connected to our problems?
Speaker 16: Allah been down to address hands off again.
Speaker 11: You gave us a name written on you that appears
to be important.
Speaker 7: I want you.
Speaker 11: To tell us what to do next.
Speaker 3: I think it looks slightly confused with its one big
owl eye, and it spells out I didn't mean to.
Speaker 8: Stalker. You asked, he who made him like that?
Speaker 14: Right?
Speaker 12: What do you ask?
Speaker 21: Yes?
Speaker 3: If he knew? He asked, if he knew, and he's
just did the letter? Why not? W h Y? Just
why m hm?
Speaker 7: Stalking? And I yes, go ahead?
Speaker 11: What are you doing?
Speaker 13: I was just saying, and I answered, I got no response.
Speaker 11: Get Esteban, bring him here. He's smarter than us. You
know what you're asking?
Speaker 13: I walk, I walk into the where are they living room?
Speaker 14: Bedroom?
Speaker 5: Living room?
Speaker 13: I walk into the living room us everyone still there.
Speaker 5: I assume, yes, yes, I probably need this. Whatever we
were just talking about, I crypt.
Speaker 13: I just stand there and watch you all.
Speaker 3: Well, that's going to take eight years for him to
tell you why he's there. So we're going to switch
to Constantine outside so much.
Speaker 7: Different character.
Speaker 24: Yes, so I have stalked out from the apartment.
Speaker 17: One could argue petulantly, but I would say with righteous
and regular rage dramatically, and I have found myself. I
don't know if I'm I think I'm just walking the street,
to be honest, and I'm watching people.
Speaker 3: Okay, how far away from the apartment do you go?
Speaker 17: I think I probably sped a little bit, but I'm
still feeling uncertain because I have all of this oblivion.
I wasn't angry like enough to abandon everyone entirely. So
I think I'm maybe I'm looking at the map here.
I'm probably sort of in the direction of the crypt,
but I haven't thought about the crypt yet. Like, I
haven't thought about it. I'm just sort of heading in
that direction. Are there lots of people around?
Speaker 11: I don't think.
Speaker 3: So it's about like I think it's nearing on two
or three in the morning, right guys, Or it was
two or three in the morning and now it's nearing
on four or five, So probably not. We can roll
the see though, if you'd like, just for funzies just
roll flat D one. Yeah, there's doing maybe there's something
crazy going on.
Speaker 24: It was almost six. That's not the place where I roll.
Speaker 17: I had the other thing open because I was looking
at my VTM sheets. Sorry eighty seven empty okay, okay, Yeah.
I'm walking around the streets and I'm my mind is
just sort of going. I'm thinking about the fact that
this new information that I have a proxy, that that
proxy is like part me. I'm interpreting it as some
sort of true bond. And I'm thinking about Peter and
I'm wondering if he existed here. Are there any libraries?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm sure there is, but I don't know
if you know where one would be. You would have
to walk around and try to kind one, yeah, or
find a map, maybe a bus stop something like that
where there's a map. But I don't think.
Speaker 24: I don't think I'm that resourceful at the moment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because I don't know if you would know
that a bus stop would have a map, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 17: Yeah, and trapped in a Yeah. The libraries were kind
of they were a thing.
Speaker 24: But they weren't, you know, it wasn't weird. I wouldn't
know where to find reds like that though at the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, because that was previously held by the Actually,
I don't know they.
Speaker 17: Would they would have Yeah, they would have records, but.
Speaker 3: I thought, like, what am I trying to say? Hereditary
like your familial stuff was the government hospitals for.
Speaker 5: A long time, right, Yeah.
Speaker 17: I think also like self reported, like families would have
their own sort of like family tree that they would record.
But yeah, yeah, I'm just thinking about Peter. I'm thinking
about the fact that I have no idea if I
know he exists, I have no idea how to find
that out.
Speaker 24: I don't know who this other person is. Can I.
Speaker 17: Okay, you know how you're like a kid and you
like close your eyes and you try to do like magic,
you know, or you're trying to connect to something and
like feel something somewhere else. Yeah, I kind of I
want to do that, but for this proxy, I want
to see if I can feel them like a tether
across time and space.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can roll. It's going to be really difficult. Yeah,
you're going to have to roll one eleven, twenty two
or thirty three.
Speaker 17: Okay, so difficulty doesn't really matter. Nope, fifty five failure doubles.
Speaker 7: Oh no, Visionary drops dead and I cry, and that's
the end of the campaign.
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 24: Nope, please take your time.
Speaker 3: How much oblivion do you have?
Speaker 24: I have three?
Speaker 3: You now have one?
Speaker 24: Oh no, oh no, oh no oh no?
Speaker 7: What have you done?
Speaker 17: Is that?
Speaker 24: Okay? Is that all I get from that? Is that
all I get from that?
Speaker 17: Like I just suddenly I feel better, Like okay, yeah, no,
don't apologize, it's it's perfect. It's just it's good for
me to know. Okay, I mean you feel better? I yeah,
I feel better. Dramatically, I look back up at the
sky and I'm looking at the stars and how different
everything is here. And then I think about the fact
that I cannot do this alone. I'm fairly certain the
only person who can get us back is Kara. She
is the most powerful person in this group. She has
secrets that I am already hiding for, and she.
Speaker 24: Is connected to this mood person. Even though.
Speaker 17: It behooves me to have to play nice, hmmm, I
am deciding for this that it is best for me
to just get myself under control and play as nice
as possible with everyone.
Speaker 24: So that we can get I can get home.
Speaker 17: Uh so I kick a trash can very loudly and
then grumble as I head back towards the apartment.
Speaker 3: Okay, and in this entire time, Stalker hasn't spoken yet.
Back to the apartment, and.
Speaker 22: It's correct yet.
Speaker 3: Fucking out.
Speaker 13: I'm just I'm stood like in the entry where I
just straight backed, stony faced.
Speaker 3: You may enter whenever you would like, Constantine, you honestly,
you could enter now, because I imagine that was happening
during their earlier conversation.
Speaker 17: So okay, yeah, I will answer now. I'll swing the
door open, darlings, did you miss me? And I stalk
over to Cora and sweep her up into my arms
and dip her and then lift her back up.
Speaker 6: I'm scared.
Speaker 5: You're back just in time.
Speaker 24: Yes, my apologies.
Speaker 5: Who Cora? When you you said you were working for
your clan to take care of the cemetery, are they're
the ones where they were in charge of this?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 6: When you say in charge of this, you mean the cemetery.
Speaker 5: Whose territory was the cemetery?
Speaker 6: Yes, it was in ours. I think the hakata are
in control of most of the cemeteries, are.
Speaker 24: We speaking about the crypt? Are we going back?
Speaker 5: See, we're trying work. It seems that it's as much happened,
but we are trying to figure this out.
Speaker 6: A lot happened. Yeah, right, A lot's happened. We're trying
to figure out what our next steps are, and going
back to the crypt is one of them. The other
is finding that strange book that Bug and Fox told
us about.
Speaker 17: Well, Cora, what do you think is the best wrote
best course of action?
Speaker 24: Which one sparkles your spirit?
Speaker 11: Mm?
Speaker 24: I might give you like a knowing look.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm phrasing it like that makes me actually think,
And I think i'd throw the question to Asha actually
and ask him, would you like to weigh in on
any of this?
Speaker 14: Would you like me too?
Speaker 6: I remember what you said about the person or thing
or whatever it is left in the crypts?
Speaker 14: It works nicely.
Speaker 6: Are there any other stones we should turn over in
our search for the truth?
Speaker 3: Go ahead and roll for me. Difficulty will be forty
see if he gives you anything?
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, twenty one.
Speaker 3: I'm yes, go ahead.
Speaker 13: I was just going to ask. While this conversation between
Cora and her dark Passenger is happening, and she just
stood there.
Speaker 6: Like I imagine it like the normal speech does. I
feel like it's a sharing of like thoughts that happens
pretty quickly, I think.
Speaker 22: So I'm waiting for a moment to jump in and
say something.
Speaker 3: Like yeah.
Speaker 22: So if it's I.
Speaker 3: Think there will be enough time for you to say something.
But yeah, that would be a good time probably to
jump in. Cora, however, or rather this question is for you, acorn. Uh.
I will give you something juicy, but I kind of
want to know what I want you to pick?
Speaker 25: Which topic or subject? Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 6: Can we oh see beside.
Speaker 3: As a group? Yep, yep, will be juicy?
Speaker 6: Which topics for those listenings?
Speaker 3: She rolled a twenty one we're going to table talk
here all right for a minute, so clearly.
Speaker 5: Let's go what was what was the questions? Is there
any relation to what it's to or.
Speaker 3: Is like you're deciding what it's to right now?
Speaker 5: But what was the question presented?
Speaker 3: Going to give you guys some like a big clue
or some information to help you out of your way?
Speaker 7: Is it?
Speaker 5: What do we do next? Because that was the question that.
Speaker 3: Comes asked us.
Speaker 6: Is there any stones we should turn?
Speaker 5: Okay, gotcha, gotcha, gotcham? Who put in there?
Speaker 24: Well?
Speaker 13: Hmhmm, yeah, I think it's got to be either who
put who sent us here?
Speaker 22: Or who is maybe.
Speaker 13: Who is the person you guys fought in the alleyway, I.
Speaker 17: Would say, who is the person in the crypt?
Speaker 24: Slash? Who is who put you there? Who attached you
to the crypt? Or why? So he's not gonna.
Speaker 3: Give you the answer, but he'll tell you where to
go to go and look for that. So essentially what
I want to know is, you know, generally speaking, you
guys are asking him for like a juicy tidbit of direction.
You're like, is there anything left unturned? You're not asking
him for an answer to the thing, so like he's
got to give you something that's like his answer would
probably be like go to the crypt and find out
like who's in there? But I want to know what
you guys are going to prioritize, because his answer will
be different depending on what you are most interested in.
Speaker 24: My suggestion. Yeah, sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 6: Well, I think to me that leaves categories. So we
choose the category crypt, we choose the category video slash
the bar, we choose the category of puppet master yep.
So Spider Shadow Lady, and then we'll get a big clue.
They'll send us in whatever direction that is.
Speaker 3: You may also choose how you travel.
Speaker 17: I think it depends on what our goal is. If
our goal is just to get back, versus is our
goal to understand what's happening to us and why we're
here in the first place, you know, like, is it
to fully understand and gain information or is it simply
to just get what we need in order to get
back and like return to our lives. Does it matter
to us why we were sent here or is it
just about being sent back?
Speaker 5: Also, to help make this decision, last week, we did
say the name of Adeline. Yeah, like that name didn't
come up. I don't remember specifically how you what you
called or was it in reference to who had sired
you or that the nail because it was a spider
And that's.
Speaker 7: Yes, because Marion Hale at the end of the first
be Team episode, I will have you know, I did
say the name Marion or to say Adeline the spider,
and then he hissed and then flapped off.
Speaker 5: So it was the description of the spider stuff that
let you say Adeline. That's all I did. Yes, but
there's a connection for us between that name and the
thing in the alley.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, like he told you why he made that connection,
did you know?
Speaker 5: I don't think he did. I don't think he did yet. Yeah,
not yet. Anyway, Well you did mention Marion Hale was
brought up.
Speaker 7: I did.
Speaker 5: Yes, I talked about Gang Grael and she turned into
a bat.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, Yeah. I have a riskier question. It's a little
more self serving if I'm being honest. We could pose
who is Zunitha?
Speaker 3: That'll be an identity category. Again, you're not going to
be able to just ask any question get an answer,
but it'll be like because she said, where is there
anything that we're missing? Essentially like a lead that we
should be looking into. And I just want you guys
to pick a category and then I'll I'll give you
a lead depending on which category. You're all right, all right,
you can do that one, but that.
Speaker 13: Would be identity. I don't even think. Yeah, so unless
you knew sp.
Speaker 7: No, you are right. You are right as far as
I'm concerned. It's hays Moog right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but this is OC so you can just you
can choose a category. You can choose identity if you
guys want, and then I'll give you a lead for that.
Speaker 14: I think mm hmm.
Speaker 8: Are is like what happened to us? How did we
get here? Different from like how do we get back
to the dimension we think we were in already? Like
are we thinking about mostly are we trying to get
back to the other dimension that we came from? Or yeah,
some of us to the bottom of this. You know,
it's a mystery, is it?
Speaker 17: Are we following the puzzle or are we simply just
like just get me back?
Speaker 5: Which one of these categories has the same answer?
Speaker 11: Yeah, so we you.
Speaker 5: Know, so it's probably the crypt.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I dontally towards how we travel? How do we travel?
Because we can still poke around and find information about
the crypt, the bar, the spider lady around town. We'll
eventually figure out the identity of someone, but like it's
not as easy to get information about like how quantum
mechanics works, and you don't understand yeah, the subject, like.
Speaker 17: And if you if we figure out how to travel,
say like oo, wow, can then we can do the
investigation part and figure out what happened to us. But
it's less about because we're trapped and we'll have more
options then because we can actually go back and forth
if we want to, depending on how complicated it is.
Speaker 3: Of course, keep in mind he's giving you a lead,
not the answer. Yes, yeah, all right, So what are
the categories again, miss Acorn.
Speaker 6: Crypt Ophidia in her bar, Spider shadow lady, how do
we travel? And then the identity of someone?
Speaker 3: I think it's to me, that's the identity of all
of you, like, it's identity. It's it's a clue around Yeah, okay,
got it, just to be clear, all right, awesome, soda
Spider later lady, Identity and travel correct, mm hmm, yeah,
anything else.
Speaker 17: The thing about identity is that it could, like each
of these things obviously, could lead us to the answers
of the other things, like if we find out what
the identity is, like what why we were chosen, that
could be a clue as to what the purpose was,
et cetera.
Speaker 3: But all of these are interwoven, and we'll lead in
to each other eventually. Anyway. It's just what your priority is,
what you are most interested in receiving as a group
right now, which is why.
Speaker 5: I'm as a group. I'm oh sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 17: I will say that I'm most interested in CRYPT and
travel because I think travel can give us a lot
of stuff. We can hit all of these things on
our own if we have a good means of travel. Yeah,
and then CRYPT could just be like one big, huge
answer that we haven't had since the very beginning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and what were you going to think? Sorry?
Speaker 12: Sorry, no, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 5: Oh I was going to say, I mean, this is
a court's decision, obviously, but.
Speaker 3: Just it's the group we're deciding as well.
Speaker 5: No, no, I mean what I'm about to say because
it's about her character, but just the as far as identity,
the like kind of the question of this person you
were attached to, and then me like what do we
have in like any that kind of stuff too, Like
that relates to identity. Go ahead, zamby mm hmm.
Speaker 22: So for clarification, are identity.
Speaker 8: I'm still thinking about what I was.
Speaker 7: I'm thinking, so I.
Speaker 3: Had to.
Speaker 5: He did wait for a pause.
Speaker 7: There was a pause.
Speaker 22: I know, I know.
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 8: Please finish it.
Speaker 22: Uh No, I'm good. I'm never gonna speak again.
Speaker 3: Oh no, and now I feel.
Speaker 7: I don't know what.
Speaker 8: That's my faults by fault.
Speaker 22: No, it's a response Olympics.
Speaker 11: What's going on?
Speaker 22: It's no Whate's fault.
Speaker 12: Okay.
Speaker 8: What I was going to say is that we all
sort of want different things by going back to the Crypt,
but we don't know how to get to the crypt
without having to travel. I think that might be our
main and like our main roadblock is that we can't
get back into the crypt. We can't change these dimensions
or or get back. We like we might have all
our own end goal, but what is the most like
prevalent issue at the at the moment. That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 7: And I think we were back.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were back at the graveyard. The way back
in was blocked. It was gone when we went back there.
So there is also travel and that, so there are
all the same thing. Yeah, I'm glad we decided on
any of them.
Speaker 3: Sorry, just what were you going to say? For real?
Speaker 13: He's like, it's it's it's good. I mean, I think
we're I think we've we're we're pretty much decided. And
it seems like everybody wants to do the travel.
Speaker 12: Do you want to roll?
Speaker 6: You just have we have two votes for travel so far,
I haven't really heard.
Speaker 26: I'm cool to travel. Yeah, yeah, Moog wants to get back,
so that would be travel.
Speaker 7: Yeah. But me, me, I want to know crypt. That's
what I want to know, and also identity.
Speaker 3: But I want to know everything.
Speaker 7: I want to know it all.
Speaker 11: I want the.
Speaker 7: Google doc access that I can just thumb through it
and then that would be great. Oh that's a question to.
Speaker 6: Ask, what is Google Google doc?
Speaker 7: What's the Google access?
Speaker 8: Where's the link?
Speaker 5: Very weird website opens it.
Speaker 17: I think that's a I think it's a good point
that we need the ability to travel to get back
to the crypt. I had forgotten that the entrance was
was gone or blocked that.
Speaker 7: I mean, there could be like mechanic, fucky ways that
we can.
Speaker 17: Do that as well, But it's so much better if
we have a lead on how to create a sustainable
way of travel instead of like risking every time and
kind of like fumbling. Our like magic in this world
is off and you know, rightfully, so our characters are
still figuring out how to do it. And I think
the travel component might be far too advanced for us
to just like organically, it might take us a while
to learn that. And meanwhile, we could have been, you know,
doing all this other investigatory things obviously, like he's not
going to tell us, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 8: Attacked every hour by christ and like who can get
out of here? Guys, like you know that's what That's
where my head's at.
Speaker 17: Yeah, and he's he's not going to give us the answer.
He's not going to be like bo, you can travel now, guys.
Speaker 3: You know, lead in the category of your choice.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so sounds like travel.
Speaker 3: Travel sounds good.
Speaker 6: So Constantine Lota Kora and asked what sparkles to her,
which which does she want to to follow? And then
she asked each of the question. And before I say
it out loud to the group, I would ask Isshna first,
it would be nice if we could travel more freely
and even maybe know where we're trying to get to
before we set off for it. Do you know a whey.
Speaker 14: Perhaps ask him to pull out the phone.
Speaker 6: So I had every intention of actually telling the group
my thought process, but that comment would have taken me
completely off guard, and I would instantly turn to Moog
and say.
Speaker 7: Can I snake on the phone? I found out how
to do it.
Speaker 6: If it works?
Speaker 7: Oh yes, in the room, I was playing snake and
now I'm sad, but it's no longer working.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would. I would reach out to you and say,
can I have Can I see the phone?
Speaker 7: It doesn't work.
Speaker 6: It's okay, I just I want to see it, all right.
Speaker 14: I toss it.
Speaker 6: Okay, so go for it.
Speaker 8: He's gonna try to intercept it.
Speaker 7: I knew it.
Speaker 22: Oh, I just I forgot to like wash.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this whole time we're gunner, it's just like where
is he's taking a while?
Speaker 22: Just never mind? Just continue. We're all playing.
Speaker 3: Isn't you interrupting? Role playing.
Speaker 13: So long?
Speaker 22: I now have a mental block. I can never interrupt again.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, I say, yes, excuse me, you are needed
in the lavatory.
Speaker 5: Okay. I walked into the bathroom.
Speaker 8: Before you get to the bathroom, like like you're walking
down the hallway, I reach an arm out and.
Speaker 13: Like pull you in, like as you get close to
the door I was coming in. I'm slipping and close
the door. I don't know why we're being secretive, but I.
Speaker 5: Mean kind of like looking around, like okay, all these letters, yeah,
like holy ship, there's blood and bile on the wall
in the alphabet.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm like, yeah, I.
Speaker 6: Wanted stalker to go away. So he would stop messing
up the phone. Yeah, so while I fiddle with it,
do we want to let them have a moment?
Speaker 5: Maybe?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I up the phone too, Yeah so yep, okay, yeah.
Speaker 12: Well hold on?
Speaker 8: Does does the phone come back on? As Esteban?
Speaker 22: And yes?
Speaker 5: So the phone where I don't even I don't even
know that I affected though at this point.
Speaker 3: So I think we'll stay with Cora for a minute
to finish the thought with each before I forget my
train of thought, and then we'll switch to the bathroom
real quick. So the phone turns on. What do you do, Cora?
Do you do anything or say anything? Or are you
just holding it and waiting for Isashna to react?
Speaker 6: Maybe maybe a little bit of both. Because this is
nineteen ninety five, I probably am used to like a
chord a phone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, this is the mountains. Yeah, this is small.
Speaker 6: It has a screen. There's text on it, so I'm
probably taking it in trying to navigate or like understand
what I'm looking at, to under stand like what my
next step would be, while keeping my awareness open to
what usion I would have to say.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I believe the answer is somewhere in a pocket.
This apartment is somehow a pocket. This phone was pulled
from another type of a pocket, space and time. I'm
the only thing in both places. I imagine you'll need
something like that.
Speaker 6: Okay, I imagine you'll need something like that, meaning a
pocket or a thing from the pocket.
Speaker 3: A thing in both places, a thing in both places,
the thing in both places. The answer is in a
thing in both places, that being the apartment and the room,
the weird fucking blood room. And if you remember, I'm
just because it's been so fucking long, I will just.
Speaker 6: Give this to you.
Speaker 3: When you were in the crypt, you could hear that's
happening in the other and same for b team. So
you were both in the pockets, respectable pockets at the
same time. So I think the implication is that you
weren't even supposed to have traveled yet it was an accident.
Mm hmm, just like the phone. My brain's on fire.
And now go to the bathroom.
Speaker 6: Yes, okay.
Speaker 5: And the last thing they saw as I walked in,
it's just a huge hand coming out, just yanked me
and it's disappeared. Yeah, just like that image. Okay, so
I'm in there, let me he said.
Speaker 12: Okay, what are you doing in here, s talker you
came in with with Esteban.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I closed the door behind us. We are tempting
to communicate. It is a secret, okay.
Speaker 3: With the with our friend here, see the fucking I'm
so sorry, but Handsel will take one of its nine
fingers or whatever and lift it in front of its
sewn in teeth to.
Speaker 12: Be like s.
Speaker 22: You can't make that noise. It's just he just there's
no noise.
Speaker 3: He just holds it in front of its fucking sewn
in teeth.
Speaker 12: Dude, due.
Speaker 3: God, remblin of a creature.
Speaker 12: What are we?
Speaker 5: What are we asking him?
Speaker 7: He's speaking to us? This is a great idea.
Speaker 5: I have to say. This is I was very smart
of you to figure this out. Can he.
Speaker 13: Can?
Speaker 11: But he hasn't given us a good answer yet. I
believe it looks I wanted and I turned to it,
and I'm sorry. I wanted a fresh mind near to
ask him a question.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well we found him by the bar, right, and
we have first assumed he was made by this this witch. Okay,
so do you ask who had made him?
Speaker 12: Yes?
Speaker 14: It will not answer.
Speaker 5: Okay, look at Hansel. The I can't clarify I'm going
to look. I'm going to say, I guess I heard
him everyone calling him Hansel already?
Speaker 13: Right?
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, hello Hansel? Do you remember me? See help
our fingers wave? Do you think you could if I say, please,
por you please tell us who has done this to you?
Speaker 3: It's got also it hesitates. It's I moves to you,
gunner and then goes to the end. And then if
you don't say anything, then it will spell out danger.
Speaker 5: Was it the person? Was the person nearby when we
met you? Why this is the one I have met
in the bar? Why can she see us right now?
Speaker 13: Uh?
Speaker 3: I can't do like id kay, but I'll say it
spells out don't know, and it's he spells the no
and no that might take you. I'm gonna be like,
what the fuck?
Speaker 5: Do you remember who you were before?
Speaker 14: Why?
Speaker 5: What was your name?
Speaker 3: Kyle?
Speaker 5: Are you in pain? And do you know anything about
the death list?
Speaker 12: No?
Speaker 14: Oh?
Speaker 5: And do you want to go back to where you are?
Speaker 3: I think it just it, you know, kind of confused
that big white want to say again, the eye moves
over the gunner and then it goes And that's that's why.
Speaker 5: I don't think he knows very much. But he is
a servant of this brow.
Speaker 14: I want to know.
Speaker 5: No, excuse me, sir, he did okay? Or maybe not?
Speaker 14: Did you say no?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 3: He went over to end when he said servant of
brew house.
Speaker 5: But you do not know if she can see through you. No,
but you are not, so you do not wish to
serve her.
Speaker 12: No.
Speaker 5: Well, I don't think he has many answers for us
at the moment. It's like his name is Kyle.
Speaker 11: Why did you show us the name?
Speaker 3: I didn't?
Speaker 7: Who didn't?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I fear this is a poor soul who has been
twisted by someone very powerful. We little care for how
they feel.
Speaker 7: This is.
Speaker 5: Our new friend, is nothing more than a victim, perhaps
like us.
Speaker 3: Why if you guys stay silent for a second, it
will start to spell something out. I came looking for you.
Speaker 5: Did you know us? Or did you? Did you meet
us while we were here?
Speaker 7: Why?
Speaker 5: I think at this moment the name rings a bell.
Oh but this, he said, the young man who has
said that strange bookstore that car has sent us to,
he was there. Now here's this?
Speaker 12: Why did you come looking for us?
Speaker 3: Obviously this thing cannot blush, but it definitely does not
answer you. It's I like maybe darts around a little
bit nervously, and then it doesn't It doesn't spell anything else.
Speaker 5: Going to lean down really close to him, and I'm
going to whisp. They can hear me or not, but
I'm gonna whisper, so he at least thinks I'm whispering.
I'm going to say, did you come here for Constantine?
Speaker 3: Is that the name that he gave?
Speaker 5: I don't remember.
Speaker 3: I don't remember either.
Speaker 24: I also don't remember. I don't think I gave a name.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, yeah, well but we've already met and he's
heard names. Yeah, like he's seen Constantine, so he know. Okay,
that's fair.
Speaker 3: I don't know the same in front of him, but
let's just say.
Speaker 13: That you have.
Speaker 5: Then he would say the blonde one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He will eventually go and tap the y.
Speaker 13: I see.
Speaker 24: It would be so funny if Meta I just like
came into the room right now, Hey, ask the one?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he yea.
Speaker 5: Why don't do you mind if we keep calling your
handsle would you like to be Kyle?
Speaker 3: Well, you've now asked him a question that has a
different answer.
Speaker 5: So do you mind?
Speaker 13: Okay has access to an alphabet, he could spell out
Kyle or Hansel.
Speaker 22: Uh, he could do that.
Speaker 5: Or if say Tom, I'm going to see your mind.
Speaker 3: If you call you Hansel, he will spell out power
in name and then he'll spell out Hansel.
Speaker 5: I think it's a good thing you closed the door.
Speaker 11: Oh if.
Speaker 5: I fear that our friend constantly, would I like to
learn this is the one we had met before who
he's infatuated with him? This is only a gues or
we can tell him the truth.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 3: Hansel immediately runs to an Oh please.
Speaker 5: It looks sisily and then welcome han so.
Speaker 6: Ah, and I think he will spell out he can't
see me like.
Speaker 11: This, Oh my god, no, been down to my knee.
Speaker 7: And beckon him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll run to you immediately or secret then and
hops twice or once and curls himself up.
Speaker 8: Let him, Let him back into my coat.
Speaker 5: Do you want us to tell your girlfriend? Sorry, he
has a girlfriend.
Speaker 8: Have a girlfriend?
Speaker 11: What is your girlfriend's name?
Speaker 8: I don't know?
Speaker 14: Okay.
Speaker 5: Then I think after he does that and gonna picks up,
I said, come on, you have a much to this guy.
And I go back outside.
Speaker 3: And in the living room.
Speaker 7: That's so sad.
Speaker 24: Oh, my god, Bora, is.
Speaker 7: My high score saved?
Speaker 12: Or did.
Speaker 7: One of them erase it by accident?
Speaker 24: I need to need to know I was doing really
well one of them erase it?
Speaker 7: Yes, Well, you see it's either Stalker or Esteban. Technology
does not quite work as it should around them.
Speaker 6: Ah as MUGAs saying that I'm nodding, And at this
point Stepan and Stalker have returned to the room, Right, okay.
Speaker 5: Do you want a moment without us there though, before
we come back? If you want to do something on
the phone, Oh.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, let's see. Yeah, yeah, if you guys want that.
Speaker 6: I feel like this conversation would have taken place while
you guys were chatting anyway. Okay, So rolling it back.
At this point, Constantine storms in ye asks Kora what
stands out to her? Kora asks Ishna. Issha responds, Kora
asks for the phone. So at this point I'd be
looking at the phone, having just heard that message from Ishna,
and a lot of things would start clicking into place
because I would realize the only and actually, I'll just
say this out loud, yeah, you know it didn't make
sense until now. The only times I think we've traveled
have been at the crypt and here at the apartment. Yes,
this phone found us here in the apartment. The phone
traveled here as well. I think we should try to
figure out exactly how this works, because if we can
return to either the world that we started in or
into a position where the crypt is still open, we
could actually maybe find answers.
Speaker 5: Ah Schlough.
Speaker 24: Very smarked a lot going on in that pretty head.
Speaker 6: I think I don't really acknowledge the fact that that
was probably like double speak, a little bit, uh, maybe
a little bit of an insult, a little bit maybe
something different. I would turn to Moog. Do you remember
anything noteworthy or that stood out to you when we
traveled from that room in the chantry here?
Speaker 20: No?
Speaker 7: You should I.
Speaker 6: You don't remember a smell or a sensation or a
word or anything.
Speaker 7: Oh, a smell, yes, it was quite Oh what's the
word not moldy, watery, wet?
Speaker 14: What was that smell.
Speaker 6: In recognition with dawn on my face?
Speaker 11: Mildew?
Speaker 7: Yes, mildew.
Speaker 4: Just like.
Speaker 6: The place with the eyes.
Speaker 7: I suppose you're right, just like the place with the eyes.
Speaker 24: Does a crip I not also smell particularly mildewey? And
what about here?
Speaker 17: I take a big sniff in using my vampire nose senses.
It's a mildewey in here.
Speaker 3: It is not mildewey in here.
Speaker 24: I begin looking around, mm hmmm, what are you looking for?
Speaker 17: I'm like a dog sniffing through this apartment to see
if there is a particular place in this apartment that
smells more like mildew than anywhere that has a mildewey smell.
Speaker 24: Of course, bedroom, I mean the bathroom.
Speaker 3: No, I mean there could be a chance, but for
the sake of the puzzle, I'm just gonna say no.
Like I could roll and be like, well, she's got
something in her fucking garbage disposal, but I'm not. I'm
not going to do that for the sake of the puzzle.
Speaker 5: No, I would like to come out while Constantine is
sniffing around.
Speaker 3: Okay, congratulations, are you wearing pilan?
Speaker 24: How good do you smell?
Speaker 5: I come up and I don't think whatever cologne was
on this jacket when we pulled it out of their bag,
I okay.
Speaker 24: Just to paint the picture. Then I'm sniffing around.
Speaker 17: I'm like going from corner to corner like a weirdo,
and then a stebon walks out, and I walk up
to him, and I just like smell his jacket up
until his hair, and then I go, nope, no mildew.
Speaker 5: Oh, thank you for telling me. I was worried, Cora.
Speaker 7: I do not wish for him to smell me, but
if he smells me mil do it'd be embarrassing.
Speaker 6: Do you think you smell like mildew?
Speaker 7: I hope not. But I don't know what he's what
kind of senses.
Speaker 24: He has, I'll have very good ones.
Speaker 6: I'll pause, give him a quick sniff, just a check.
Does he smell like anything?
Speaker 3: I think you and he both smell a little bit
like something different. And again, for the sake of the puzzle,
when you smell whatever that is, and I'm gonna let
you decide what it smells like to Cora, because it
would be different for everyone. He should now will say,
not that's travel residue that you're smelling.
Speaker 21: No, mhm.
Speaker 6: Does would I smell the same smell on stalker or gunner?
Speaker 11: Yes?
Speaker 3: Yes, you would probably not as strong. Mm hm.
Speaker 14: So you have.
Speaker 7: Ripped?
Speaker 14: Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3: What else?
Speaker 6: I think I would turn my attention to the group
now that we're all together, does anyone has anyone had
any other experiences where they went to a place they
weren't expecting besides the ones we know about.
Speaker 13: What do you mean.
Speaker 24: Before or after?
Speaker 6: In our time here, have any of us traveled to
a place that could be a different dimension or a
different world? What experiences have had? I nod, eyes kind
of like widening in recognition the.
Speaker 7: Lucky rabbit?
Speaker 6: Thank you?
Speaker 7: No, but I'm asking what the fuck is the lucky rabbit?
Speaker 3: It?
Speaker 5: He's a bar?
Speaker 24: Oh that's right, so.
Speaker 5: Why are we talking about it?
Speaker 24: It does a very special bar. I wonder if you'd
be allowed in.
Speaker 7: You will find out a very few places that actually
allow me in. And then I think of the recept
for a moment.
Speaker 24: How curious would it be if he was not allowed inside?
What would happen, Cora if you two tried to walk
into the same place?
Speaker 7: It sounds like fun, though, I kind of.
Speaker 6: Through Constantine a not stern expression, but like an expression
of recognition of like what he's getting at once, I'm
not sure I've never tried it before.
Speaker 14: The boy wouldn't before.
Speaker 17: When she says I've never tried it before, I look
at her and raise an eyebrow. Well, I have no
plans on going back to the Lucky Rabbit anytime soon. Anyway,
I think we had our fill last time we were there.
Speaker 6: I would agree, why not.
Speaker 7: It'swear a try, is it not?
Speaker 5: It lies near the crypt. Oh, but we saw the
sign too that was specific hours. But I don't know
what time he's there.
Speaker 17: Don't you think, well, uh, don't you think it would
be not clever of us, now that we know that
we are being actively hunted down or have had proxies
made or whatever it is, to expose ourselves to a
place like the Lucky Rabbit. We could feign ignorance before,
but now we know things have things, it would be
foolish to try again.
Speaker 6: We learned the most from Foxenburg, and they're not going
to be there again, at least I don't think they would.
Speaker 5: But there was some designed time for those like us
to go the ribbon in ours. I just don't do
not know if their time there is the same as
it is here.
Speaker 6: I don't even know. I'm so sorry, Like corn, go ahead,
least go, no you go. I don't even know how
we got there the first time? How did we find
it again?
Speaker 24: I was gonna crop up.
Speaker 22: No, it's very rud.
Speaker 8: I know, I.
Speaker 7: Was going to just sit here and not say anything
for the rest of the session.
Speaker 24: More time for me to just keep talking. I was
going to ask, uh.
Speaker 17: When we were in there, Okay, I need some help
parsing out the information and that I mergs know about
the Lucky Rabbit and the experience that we had back
then and what I garnered from it.
Speaker 24: Was there a rule?
Speaker 17: Is there a rule or was there a conversation? I
can't remember of the communicating of where people were from
and what that you should not do it.
Speaker 3: I cannot answer that you need to take notes? Yeah, okay, sorry,
I have no way of remembering what you were told.
I'm so sorry, and I just know too much to
be able to answer that fair. Yeah, okay, it was
so long ago now, yeah, so sorry. I don't know.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 6: I think I wrote it down. I can check. But
I also remember Gunner looking at the rules and Esteban
looking at the rules specifically.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was. I want to say that only a
few of you looked at them, but I think I
can find that.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I also think that you did share some of them,
but not all of them the rules. But I also
know that Coorra looked at them on her way out.
I think, so she only saw the act sign, not
the front sign, I think, or maybe it was the
other way around.
Speaker 6: It was the inside I saw.
Speaker 3: Okay, And I think you were too focused on what
happened with Coorra to read them on your.
Speaker 24: Way out, to be honest, Yeah, I think that's what
I did, is that I didn't read them.
Speaker 6: Okay, what was your original question marks?
Speaker 17: I guess I was trying to figure out, like if
I garnered whether or not you can talk about where
you're from. Like the path that I was taking was like, oh,
if we it's Revenant hours, we can go and be like, hey,
are there Kindred where you're from?
Speaker 24: You know, like where are the Kindred from?
Speaker 3: You know that you can't talk about where you're from?
Where you can share that kind of information.
Speaker 17: Yeah, but that Yeah, So I don't know if I
think Constantin would still think it was like a possibility.
Speaker 3: Yeah, mm hmm.
Speaker 5: So about to say, yes, yes, I have been having
a thought. I don't know if it is anything, but
when we all awoke, we were in different coffins. Yes,
there was there a reason for this. I would love
to think it was just a decoration, but it doesn't
seem to be. There were intended to be many people
to go down there. The one of them in particular
that we left was uh, seemed to have a purpose. Indeed, yes, why.
Speaker 24: I would think they were just different materials available at
the time of imprisonment.
Speaker 7: No, I'm sorry you did not know each other before
being imprisoned.
Speaker 24: No, no, all right, we were imprisoned at different times.
Speaker 7: I would like to ask a silly question to everyone,
if possible, it's please humor me. Cora, were you kindred before, well,
you were not entombed. You've always been kindred?
Speaker 6: Yes, always been kindred?
Speaker 7: Well, you know you remember being kindred Andre you went
into the crypt kindred.
Speaker 6: I've been kindred for some time, yes, yes, all right, Esteban.
Speaker 7: You were kindred before being.
Speaker 5: Imprisoned for some time?
Speaker 7: Yes, for some time, right, Constantine, same question.
Speaker 24: Yes, of course, yes, quite the right time as well.
Speaker 7: All right, Stoker, you're part of some crazy secretive clan
or kindred.
Speaker 14: We are not a secret.
Speaker 7: As news to me, but or kindred? Yes, and you
were kindred before you went before you investigated? Yes, yes,
look at Ganna, I don't think I caught your name.
Ry gunnar gnna. Huh, I thought you would have used
God not important? You were kindred before you were imprisoned?
Speaker 11: Yes, I believe I was imprisoned for being made kindred.
You have memories of being made?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 13: Oh?
Speaker 27: Yes, I don't believe you. But I can't tell if
Moog believes you or not. I think about them every second.
Speaker 7: It's all I think about, thinking about how you were
made or how you were imprisoned? Which one?
Speaker 13: More like?
Speaker 7: Why? Why is that? Bornt?
Speaker 14: I told her?
Speaker 7: Never?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 11: Because she did it anyway?
Speaker 7: Why?
Speaker 11: It's what I hope to ask her?
Speaker 7: What made you so important? I don't know. Love? Maybe
she loved you, or you loved her. We loved each other.
Do you certain? Were you dying?
Speaker 5: Mm hm.
Speaker 7: Yes, and she turned to you to save you?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 7: And then you were imprisoned? Do yes? Remember? Do you
remember being imprisoned?
Speaker 17: I do?
Speaker 7: Was it her that did it? I can't remember? You
can't or you don't want to?
Speaker 14: Oh?
Speaker 3: I want to.
Speaker 7: Then remember, sort of like.
Speaker 12: Bow my head and lean back against the wall, and
I think of I think of the pain that.
Speaker 7: Whoever it was putting me through. I could never tell
who it was. Remember?
Speaker 12: Can I remember anything?
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 3: You can certainly try. Let's roll for it.
Speaker 24: Can I help him? Can I walk over?
Speaker 3: How would you? Let's help him?
Speaker 24: I would like to remove his hat and stroke his hair, okay,
and like help help him. So like healing. Wise, I'm
healing the gap in his memory.
Speaker 8: Okay, just like you did before on the street or okay, of.
Speaker 3: Healing memory is a little bit better than just healing. However,
there isn't a gap in his memory. Uh, there is
a block on his memory. So we're going to roll
for it. Yeah, oh yeah, okay, So Constantine, you go
ahead and roll. Difficulty is going to be thirty, and
then if you succeed, we'll give him a shift on
his difficulty for his role. Oh my god, I don't
think you gotta roll, buddy, you.
Speaker 24: Can't just have I just do.
Speaker 17: I just rock up and I take your hat off,
and I just thrown my hand over your hair, and then.
Speaker 3: There's a magic FOLI.
Speaker 24: Himber I am.
Speaker 23: I like roll up my sleeve and I reveal like
those rings running up my forearm.
Speaker 17: And.
Speaker 28: I think about how they got there, and I would
want to remember who was putting them there, his face
on their.
Speaker 11: Facew they got there in the first place.
Speaker 3: Okay, for the first while, how how well do you remember?
I'm actually going to assume that you you remember all eight?
There are eight, correct, there are eight rings on your arm,
right yep. So I'm going to assume that you remember
them fairly well, especially with that thirty three healing that
memory or removing that blockage. So for the first little while,
this is the individual that you see. For the second
little while, you see someone who looks like this, and
for the final for the final, final ones, you see.
Speaker 7: This one.
Speaker 6: For those listening only, Zombie Gunner is seeing this.
Speaker 12: Like running my fingers, excuse me, running my fingers up
my arm and touching each one.
Speaker 11: As a woman, she's gorgeous, black, dark hair, earrings, she's Spanish.
And there's another one, a man, a streak of white
in his hair, a coat that covers his neck. And
there's one more dark hair, a black the other she's different, asso,
very beautiful, three different people.
Speaker 7: There were three of them, There were three who imprisoned.
Speaker 11: Here those sighs, her eyes, green eyes standing to mine.
They put these here. These are the ones.
Speaker 12: I'm rolling up my whole sleeve to reveal all my rings.
Speaker 11: I could never see them before, just a blur.
Speaker 7: Flash of pain. They showed me.
Speaker 11: Everything, but not what I wanted to see how to
get back to her. They took me, and they used
her against me.
Speaker 14: And me to her.
Speaker 29: I can only see their faces. I don't know what
else I can tell you, and I look like pleadingly
at Moog. I don't know the answers on how to
get back.
Speaker 14: I only know.
Speaker 11: It's my only wish.
Speaker 5: I want to walk over to Gunner. I want to.
These faces are not familiar to you the ones you
have seen now, are they familiar to me?
Speaker 3: I have to dm you here other than this memory. No,
I wouldn't expect yet, unless I'm forgetting something completely crazy,
which I don't think I am.
Speaker 5: Could you share these faces with me and I hold
out my hand.
Speaker 14: Like this, I will love.
Speaker 7: Reach out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they should not hurt someone like you. I'm gonna,
probably prompted by the word Spanish, I'm gonna attempt to
use the ritual I learned from Ophidia in the bar
to see if I can experience this memory of his Okay,
and how do you do this? So when we have
our hands there, I use my thumb. Okay, I'm doing
exactly yeah, and I'm gonna use it to get blood.
But I don't remember if we said what the exact
motions were.
Speaker 3: Yeah, their motion right, Yeah, there was emotion, but I
mean it's been weeks for us, but it's been you know,
mere hours for you. Again, I did it purposely, and
you rolled really well to replicate her. It's the only
reason you were able to do it is because you
repeated her exact movements, right. Because it's a spell. So
if that's what you're attempting to do, that's fine. We're
going to go ahead and roll. Do your magic casting
difficulty forty actually sorry forty five because you're recreating somebody
else's spell that you've already casted properly before.
Speaker 5: Okay, here we go. Yes, perfect timing. I get the
blood on my thumb and.
Speaker 3: I because you do both, right, or just the one both?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Because he did it for both. Yes, Yeah, that's right,
So you just do the one. And I actually think
this is the most perfect role and that in this
moment because I was thinking, like you would have to
have done the spell. If Ophidia did the spell, I
think the same thing would happen to her. But I
think that you are going to succeed. I'm going to
give you the success. But what you are not, what
you are not prepared for, is reliving this, reliving these
eight times that they would open this coffin and mark him.
You are not prepared for the realization that every what
was it Zamby fifty or one hundred, every one hundred,
every one hundred years, they would open his coffin and
do this to him. But they kept him. He was
not in torpor. He was awake the whole time. And
as they did this to him, they would flood his
mind with everything he wanted to know or everything about
the world that he was missing, except they would leave
out any information on what happened to the woman that
he loved. And they did it every hundred years. And
so you're going to experience all of that right now.
And I'm going to turn it over to Zambie to
explain some things. Again, it's magic, so he may tell
you how you feel here because it's how he felt then,
and then you got to role play with that. But
keep in mind it is in ninety nine and it's
probably going to fuck your mind up a little bit. Here,
go ahead, Sam's.
Speaker 12: That'd be like, are you are you holding hands of them?
Speaker 5: No, at this point, I've let go and I've taken
my thumb. I like just kind of cut you with
my thumb nail and I put it in my mouth.
He has seen anything yet, I think it just starts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just start head would go back, your eyes
a whale all Yeah, just likeco video. He's he's recreating that.
Speaker 8: My head goes back, the mind.
Speaker 5: And his eyes. So this is this is like me right,
this is all like it doesn't affect him.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm going to run my finger up my arm
again and I'll just like start at the wrist and be.
Speaker 11: Like twelfth century, thirteenth century.
Speaker 8: Fourteenth and you'll get something like like where I saw
these like images pop into my mind as I was
running up and down the first What he's.
Speaker 3: Saying, Yeah, he's seeing everything. He's going to experience basically
your life in a matter of you know, like eight
hundred years in a matter of moments. And he's unpremud.
Speaker 8: You feel like you have like you have an open wound,
like bleeding on your chest, like you've been struck down,
and like you're dying and you've been dying for nine
hundred years and this pain is like you just cannot
get away with it.
Speaker 11: Fifteenth century, see another face, sixteenth century, seventeen eighteen nineteen.
Speaker 12: And as like I get.
Speaker 8: Up the arm, you'll be seeing these images pop into
your head the same that I saw, I think, because
that's what you asked, right, do you want to be
to show you those faces? So I'm seeing them as
I saw.
Speaker 5: Yeah, which one was? Which one showed up first? Which
was the first one to do it.
Speaker 3: In the same order?
Speaker 5: The same? Okay?
Speaker 11: Right?
Speaker 3: Because did you go backwards? I'm so sorry? Did you
go backwards on your arm? No?
Speaker 5: And he started at the twist?
Speaker 8: Is assuming that the first one is at my wrist?
That's why I've always.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's whatever you imagine. Yeah, if they started at
the wrist, then that's fine.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: They're slowly working.
Speaker 8: Their way around up my arm towards my shoulder.
Speaker 5: So the first one you sent me is the first
one I see, is the earliest one, yes, okay, and
then the second one is the second, and then and
then the third. Yeah, I think while this is happening, Yeah,
in an instant to them, my light falls off. Things
get super dark. Listen. I got it set up for
it's just a little noisy and when it starts, you know,
I feel this pain, I feel it happening. I'm not
sure what's happening.
Speaker 3: Oh shit, yeah, I wasn't sure if you remembered that,
so I was.
Speaker 5: Just gonna know. I don't remember seeing that at all.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, Oh my god.
Speaker 5: Okay, that surprised me. No, butn't. Okay, cool, I'm just
gonna say, apparently I know at least one of these people. So, uh,
as it starts, I think, I feel this and I
feel pain, and I like it's the reaction I feel
and I feel pain is just to just like fucking
bear it, like I'm confronting it almost. But then it
this first woman goes and I'm kind of like, you know,
I'm feeling it, but I'm kind of focusing on her
to like and just trying not to think about this.
But it's growing and it's growing and it's not just
this pain, but like you were saying, it's it's just
time going by and the pain not subsiding, and it's
not going away and it's not dying. It's still staying there.
There's nothing getting better. There's nothing. Maybe it's just getting
a little bit worse, but not so worse that I'll
be out of it. And then this next person comes,
a man with the white streak in his hair, and
the recognition of him makes me falter because I did
not expect to see this person again, especially after what
I did to him. And I think the that surprise
kind of throws me off, and I really feel it,
and I probably in the room, like I just I
go down. I probably hit the couch or the table
wherever's there, and I'm on the floor while this is
still going, and I might be like I might just
be like folding it over on my chest. I think
it goes on and on and on, and then the
next one comes, and now everything I've been thrown off,
and I'm trying to regain some setlings of us, but
it's too much, you know, hundreds and hundreds of years
of this, and I can't. I can't regain my footing
to confront it in the way that I want to,
and it's getting worse and worse and worse, and all
I can do, like all I can do to manage
it is just I'm just telling myself not to just scream,
like every part of me wants to fucking scream, and
it's anything I can do. I can't fight off the pain,
I can't stop it. I can't reach out to these
people as they're doing this to me, and there's nothing
I could do. I'm helpless, which makes me like in
the pit of my stomach just disgust me. And all
I'm doing is trying not to let them know how
much it's hurting me. So I think I'm just curl
I'm curled into a ball on the floor by the
time this ends, I think like trembling. I think I'm shaking.
I'm like I'm mind like just like like I'm holding
it together, like probably even whimpering a bit, like you
hear these these pathetic noises coming out of them.
Speaker 3: Oh, if it's okay with you, Esteban, I think, because
it's a ninety nine, I just am seeing the feeling
of I can't let them know that how much this
hurts is equal parts Esteban's feeling or desire, but it's
also mostly Gunner's desire. But you are screaming.
Speaker 5: Everyone else is like what I mean. The reason I
was in scream means because my neighbors called no no.
Speaker 3: I don't want to get Actually, I'm just imagining. I'm
just imagining es sebon like falling to the ground because
I cannot imagine eight hundred years of this without that
kind of release. And it's also what he did when
he got out. That was the first thing he did
when he got out of the coffin was that belt
fucking roar and cry.
Speaker 5: And that was that when he got out. I know
he did it again later when I got out. He
yelled it, he bellowed at me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he just well, I think, yeah, yeah,
I'm screaming. I just imagine you're screaming. I don't think
you realize that you're screaming. It's one of those moments
of just like you're you're going through this intense reliving
and you're screaming, and you, guys, if you try to
go up to him, you can tell, yeah, he's somewhere.
Speaker 5: Out about this. I'm thinking, I'm thinking, whatever I do,
don't let the know, don't scream. But mean, while I'm
just screaming, it doesn't I don't reckon like I don't know,
I'm not in control of my body.
Speaker 3: After all, this.
Speaker 24: Best of one.
Speaker 5: Hey hey, hey, hey, hey, now at what point like,
I'm sure this seeing all this ends, this memory and
how quickly does it fade? I mean, I'm fucked up
from it, right, So I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
be okay for a while for a while now.
Speaker 3: I think that's how I'm interpreting the ninety nine.
Speaker 5: You just will I'm sure I have like a shit
ton of oblivion and whatever the fuck?
Speaker 3: No, no, I think I think I think this is enough. Man.
I'm sorry, but like, I can't imagine carrying eight hundred
years of pain. You're gonna share it like it's yours,
you know what I mean, You've experienced this now, so
you just have that trauma with you. It's not something
you can just.
Speaker 7: Get rid of, okay. And I'm.
Speaker 5: With the team, and I'm like just really like, like
this probably stopped screaming at this point. I'm just like, yeah,
I probably just don't speak. I'm just gonna that's just
gonna be stuck like that for a little bit.
Speaker 7: Do you see now? What the fuck?
Speaker 17: I'm stroking your hair Esteban, like away from your face
like a child, like you would to a child who's weeping.
Speaker 11: You know, have you see now how bad I want
to go back down there find them.
Speaker 7: I walk behind Cora, seeming the position that I usually take.
You're Siah. Was your lover gonna? Yes? And she had
dark hair and green eyes? Yes? No, she had red hair.
Speaker 5: And noise.
Speaker 7: Interesting? And who had the green eyes and the dark hair?
Your captor? One of three?
Speaker 14: I believe.
Speaker 7: So if the fishion you have granted me is true,
do you know who else has dark hair and green eyes?
Marion fucking hair.
Speaker 5: At this moment, I'm on the floor shaking, and I
just my hands reach out and I grab gunner and
I pull them like close to me, and I'm still
like the man, the man who did this to you.
I killed him. That is why I was put in
the often. It was he It was his tongue that
I took, and then it was not enough, and I
killed him. I traveled to Germany. His name is Dragon,
and he is dead by my hand, like bring.
Speaker 12: My shoulder or my hands to his shoulders to like
comfort him a little, And I'm gonna hoog you.
Speaker 5: You do not understand I am ashamed, not because I
have killed him, but because as I was strict into
killing him.
Speaker 11: Perhaps that is also the reason why I was put into.
Speaker 13: A trick.
Speaker 12: I pull you in the night, give you a very full,
comforting hug.
Speaker 5: I'm pretty limp. There's no way it's I'm There's just
no response either way.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think that took any energy I had left there there.
