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 alud.
Speaker 6: It frequently storms like this in Berlin. The entire city
is gray, bitter and cold. The streets were full of
faces lined with worry. As you made your way through them, Courier,
it filled you with dread, a yawning of something vulnerable.
What are you doing here on this street?
Speaker 7: I've been hired to locate to young lovers, a regular
Romeo and Juliet Ter.
Speaker 6: Some bullshit like that, why are you locating them?
Speaker 7: I've stopped asking questions like that. It usually just ends
up with more trouble than what it's worth. If I
were to wager a guess, I would say that dipshit
one shouldn't be fooling around with dipshit two according to
their parents. But that's just a guess.
Speaker 5: Can you rule for me.
Speaker 6: Let be one hundred, please a ninety three. Okay, you're
walking in this area, and it doesn't really make a
lot of sense, like it's not the description that they
gave you, who gave.
Speaker 5: You this job.
Speaker 8: It was.
Speaker 7: A usual contact, but it seemed off from the start,
and usually I would and take these. But it is
tonight after all.
Speaker 5: All right. It takes you a long time.
Speaker 6: You're sort of navigating through these strange streets. Everything's feeling decrepit,
like it's falling apart. But you do find a door
that has the number that you were told to look for.
Speaker 5: Seven.
Speaker 7: Are there any windows?
Speaker 5: It's it's a pretty typical.
Speaker 6: Berlin flat, So there are windows on the bottom sort
of narrow, and there's a steps up to.
Speaker 5: A door with a railing.
Speaker 6: All of the windows are closed, like you can't really
see into any of them. There's curtains or some of
them are even like boarded up, because the area doesn't
seem so nice.
Speaker 7: Typical, well except the boarding up, But the windows I
find never reveal. What you really need is the door,
the jar. Is it firmly closed?
Speaker 6: Can you roll for me again? Actually an eighty one?
It is firmly closed.
Speaker 7: I'm going to very slowly try the doorknob, and I
want to see if it's locked firmly or if it's
not been locked.
Speaker 6: It is locked, but that's not something that usually sort
of stops you, right, Like you have your ways of
getting into places that you're not supposed to be.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but that feeling in the back of my neck,
all the little things that have been wrong so far,
gives me pause. I feel like I should Maybe I
might as well knock for all the good it will
do me. Okay, but do I that's the real problem here. No,
go with what we normally do. I want to try
to pick the lock.
Speaker 6: Okay, Yeah, So you pull out your lock picking tools
and kind of get down on one knee. This is
a smooth operation as far as you're concerned. You do
this a lot. Yeah, the door clicks open. It's not
locked beyond what you can pick.
Speaker 7: Now, I'm expecting sounds from a locked door with bordered
up windows of two lovers who shouldn't be loving. What
do I hear?
Speaker 5: It is completely silent in the hallway.
Speaker 6: So the hallway is a sort of it's got marble,
which feels very strange almost because of how rough the
outside looks, but the floor is marble, the walls are marble.
Speaker 5: Albeit it's not clean.
Speaker 6: Okay, but there's a big staircase that sort of winds up,
and typical of these sorts of buildings, you have to
climb the stairs. There's no elevator here, and from outside
it looks like this place goes up quite a few floors,
but it is silent.
Speaker 5: You don't hear anything.
Speaker 7: I let out an exacerbated sigh. Of course, there wouldn't
be an elevator, not that I would use it if
there was one, with all the noise that it would make.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I have a question before you go up on
that note, how long have you been in Berlin.
Speaker 7: It's been probably close to a decade now if memory serves.
The days all bleed together when it's all about the
leg work, and then the evenings are the actual work. Yeah,
the lines on my face would indicate probably nine to
twelve years.
Speaker 6: Because of that, you kind of know very well this
building and how to navigate it, because a lot of
these buildings are quite similar.
Speaker 5: And your quarry is.
Speaker 6: On a higher level, a higher floor, so you've got
to take the stairs.
Speaker 7: Of course, Then the stairs I take.
Speaker 6: You walk up these stairs and your shoes are sort
of squeaking on the marble, and it's so quiet it
kind of echoes in the room, and I'm sure it's
a bit you're trying to keep as quiet as possible.
Speaker 5: But eventually you get.
Speaker 6: To you get to a floor where there is a
door on the right set, right hand side. It's closed,
it's non descript. It looks like every other door that's
in this building, except it is open, unlike the front.
Speaker 7: Huh an invitation. I don't like it. I want to
peer around through the door. I don't want to step
through it, so I want to see what I can
make out.
Speaker 5: The apartment is.
Speaker 6: Strange as well, because it is decorated very well. It's
much like the marble of the hallway in this area
that's not very nice. But this particular apartment is flat. Rather,
it's quite nice. You walk in and you don't hear anything.
There's no real signs of life as far as you
can tell. There's no radio playing, there's no children laughing
or a family. You don't even hear like the giggleing
laughter of those lovers that you're looking for. But then
you hear in what you could presume is the kitchen
a clang of a teapot.
Speaker 7: And I'm sorry, where is the kitchen from where I am?
Speaker 6: So if you enter, if you enter into the hallway,
it's sort of a long hallway and the kitchen would
be down the hallway into the right, in like the
end of that hallway.
Speaker 7: I want to see if I can get any faint
scent of blood, copper or anything like that. Right now
I'm thinking maybe a murder, suicide, or just a murder,
and the other is hiding in the kitchen.
Speaker 8: A role for me, A three.
Speaker 6: There is no no sign of struggle. There's no sign
of violence. And in fact, as you sort of maybe
move into the hallway, you might hear a soft voice
from the other room.
Speaker 5: Ah shit.
Speaker 7: I take out a cigarette and I light it. I
let my guard down. It's at least one of the idiots.
I go to the kitchen and I'm not making it
quiet either, and I yell down. I heard you, come
on out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you turn around to the kitchen. Inside is
a man. He looks kind of young. He has dark hair.
Speaker 5: It's touseled and curled.
Speaker 6: Over his forehead. He wears a wrinkly, dark gray suit.
It's been mended in a few places, but not very well,
so it kind of gives you the impression that he
does it himself. He looks at you with big, wide eyes.
Speaker 5: Oh hello, You're not who I'm looking for. He frowns.
Are you a good person? Courier?
Speaker 7: I don't see what difference that makes here? Also, yeah
sixty eight.
Speaker 6: You look at him and it's almost like the kitchen
constricts and suddenly he's standing right in front of you,
but you're in I would say that you don't feel afraid.
There's something in his eyes that feels familiar, and he
looks deeply at you. What was the worst day of
your life?
Speaker 7: The worst day of my life was when my wife
Maria died. She was there one day and the next
moment nothing. There was no long illness and no prolonged
goody byes with tears. It was just sudden.
Speaker 6: He looks at you, browns and his eyes well with
tears of red.
Speaker 5: In a moment she was gone. It was just sudden.
Speaker 7: How do you know that? Who are you? Why are
you here? How'd you get in here? The questions flood
out of my mouth, no control.
Speaker 5: They sent you for me? Didn't they It's all right,
you can say so.
Speaker 7: I was sent, but not for you. Why are you here?
Speaker 5: I'm hiding. You're a You're a good person. I can tell.
Let's see it. I'm go ahead.
Speaker 7: I'd look confused and baffled at the notion that I'm
a good person, not because I am or am not,
but I just don't think of myself in that way,
or maybe even most people. I don't think in that way.
It's always shades of gray.
Speaker 6: He frowns again. He kind of looks you over, takes
a step back. Yeah, I'm sorry. Always coming on of
it's strong. See, I have this thing where I can
feel what you feel, and sometimes it just.
Speaker 5: Makes me, uh, it makes.
Speaker 6: Me feel like I know you when I don't. You
don't know me, and I get that. So I'm really sorry.
I'm hiding because I'm well, it helps me hide, That's
what I'm saying. To know if someone's gonna hurt me
or not.
Speaker 7: Is that always the first question out of your mouth?
Are you a good person?
Speaker 5: Sometimes?
Speaker 7: And what do they say in response?
Speaker 5: They always say yes, yes, no.
Speaker 6: The ones that are don't answer, or they look at
me like how you're looking at me?
Speaker 5: Right now.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I take a long puff of my cigarette.
And how am I looking at you right now?
Speaker 5: Can you roll for me again?
Speaker 7: A forty seven?
Speaker 6: Well, you're looking at me like a like you should
look at me, which is you know, with suspicion, really,
which is good because it's better than you looking at
me with hunger.
Speaker 7: Hunger.
Speaker 5: Yeah, listen, who hired you?
Speaker 9: May?
Speaker 5: I ask.
Speaker 7: You, may, but I might not answer.
Speaker 5: Okay, listen, I gotta get out of the city.
Speaker 6: And like I said, have a good feeling about you,
whether you agree with me or not. So I'm just
gonna go out on a loomb here and ask if
you happen to know.
Speaker 5: Since they know.
Speaker 6: I'm here clearly and you're here because of it, if
you're not going to take me, I can't no.
Speaker 7: If someone's looking for you, and my experience, they're also
looking at all of the exits, there is no escape.
Hiding is probably going to be your best option from here.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 6: And even though I'm pretty sure you're not here to
kill me, are you?
Speaker 7: Nope? I don't do that.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, uh, sorry to have wasted your time. Then
I guess I'll just.
Speaker 7: Sta wait, wait, hold on, I put out my cigarette
on if there's a counter nearby, on that discarded step,
step on it with my shoe. I think I know
where you can go. You'll have to follow.
Speaker 5: Me, though, All all right, all right, and.
Speaker 7: No more kettle droppings.
Speaker 6: Okay, I just wanted a cup of tea. Yeah, sure,
mom's the word.
Speaker 7: Sure, follow me and I make my way out.
Speaker 6: He reaches out his hand before you and says, Elio,
nice to meet you.
Speaker 7: I look at the hand, and I look at Ellio.
They call me Hans here I'm on.
Speaker 5: He follows you out. Where are you taking him the career?
Speaker 7: I'm taking him to the only place that I know
where weird shit happens that I just can't explain. Place
where theirs song and life around every drink. Now you
have to forgive my German, even though I've been here
a while, not native. The bar is called Das suddenly
licked something about a sun Here I am without my
son tan lotion.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you head to the bar.
Speaker 6: Automobiles are driving through the rain, and their wheels are
kicking up water in a sound so similar to roaring
applause that you feel you could close your eyes and
feel the heat of a thousand bodies cheering. You're ragged, cold,
wet to the bones, but you As you approach Friedrich's Lassa,
the crowd thickens to suits and dresses and other fineries.
The sound of raised voices, songlike and otherworldly, as though
lifting the clouds from the rest of the city, call
to you. You follow those bright red smiles, the velvet,
lace and fur until you turn the corner and you
see it. The facade of a giant orb hangs over
the double doors. Painted a bright red lines of dancing
lights emanate emanate from it, illuminating the whole corner of
the street.
Speaker 5: Beneath it. In bright red painted text reads.
Speaker 6: Das zonen Licht. It beckons you in whispers. Here you
will be safe. Here, you can be yourself.
Speaker 5: Here.
Speaker 6: You are right like a moth. You are pulled to
a sun so bright you've only seen it when you dream.
As you and Elio approach the doors, you're greeted by
two bouncers, ones that you have seen before. They're both
wearing suit and tie. One is a woman who has
a mustache drawn in with a black pencil, and the
other is a large man and his ears are pierced
and he has a sparkle in his eye. They both
nod at you, and they open the doors and you
pass through the velvet curtain into the main bar. It's
a wall of sensation as your eyes quickly adjust to
the bright, glorious crystal chandeliers, the bustle as beautiful men
and women walk from table to table, and the heavenly
voices of chorus of men and women in drag sing
on the modestly side stage, hips swinging, and legs kicking
to the band in hypnotic fashion. The blood thrums in
your ears, and it's almost like it's joining the chorus,
chanting Bill Common, vill Common, vill Common, Welcome to daz Zuninly.
Speaker 5: We will now.
Speaker 6: Pass through the bar into a back hallway. Felix, you
have found yourself in a dark and tall way of
one of the private areas of the bar.
Speaker 5: The lights are.
Speaker 6: Dim, but the hallway is warm on your skin, and
there's a perfume in the air. What does the perfume
smell like to you?
Speaker 8: Smells like smells a little like like wood in leather.
It's very rugged perfume. Yeah, it's good little vanilla too.
Speaker 6: As you're walking down the hall, it's you've been here
a lot, right, Yeah, in this private back.
Speaker 5: Area, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah.
Speaker 6: The doors are sort of like there's velvet pretty much everywhere, know,
like just imagine this place and it's red and it's velvet,
and it's you know, soft and silky and.
Speaker 5: Just a texture dream. It is a tactile heaven.
Speaker 6: So each door has a velvet curtain in front in
front of it as you walk, and there's.
Speaker 5: Like little numbers on each of the rooms. But you're
heading to room number seven.
Speaker 8: Is there anyone in this hallway?
Speaker 5: No, it is empty, Okay, So.
Speaker 8: As I'm walking, you would notice there is a bit
of a pronounced limp. Other things too. There's a pretty
hefty scar on the right side of his face, which
is what the eyepatch is covering part of it, and
his his left arm, at least half of it is prosthetic,
that's basically, but it's in the shape of a hand
to which one was like a seven.
Speaker 5: Seven room number seven. Yeah. What brings you to Dason and.
Speaker 8: Lee several things as a company. Obviously some music, it's dancing,
the beauty of the performers, but most of all, well
it is the same thing. Was the bartender and relief.
Speaker 6: As you approached the door, it opens welcoming you in,
and inside is a bed. The room is filled with
candles lit. There's a small.
Speaker 3: Little bar.
Speaker 5: Should you want wine or any other drinks?
Speaker 8: I pour it a drink immediately.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what do you pour?
Speaker 8: Whatever's for? It's a hurried I'm grabbing and assuming whiskey.
Let's say some sort of whiskey.
Speaker 5: Whiskey. Whiskey is good. Uh.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a nice bourbon.
Speaker 5: It is a nice bourbon.
Speaker 6: Yes, I would say that you are a special guest here,
you know, like you are known when the room is
prepared for you.
Speaker 5: It's with it consideration of what you would like.
Speaker 6: So it's not just a nice bourbon. It's maybe the
bourbon that you most prefer to drink whenever you come here.
Speaker 8: I down it quickly before while I'm still alone, there's
an urgency.
Speaker 5: There's a.
Speaker 8: Yeah, kind of checking myself. It's very very plain clothes,
but checking himself.
Speaker 6: Nonetheless, there's a rustle from another sort of veiled entrance
to the room.
Speaker 5: Darling, you look very good.
Speaker 8: Ah, it's so very good to see you. Immed like
straighten up at the sound or the sight of him,
and I was clearly meant to say, I was holding
like a bouquet of flowers the whole time that I
hand over.
Speaker 5: Oh, oh my god, I.
Speaker 8: Believe these here for you on Zaba.
Speaker 5: Oh I love them.
Speaker 6: Constantine looks like the most shiny, glittering version of himself
that anyone has seen, you know, very different than in
the main show. He's had time to you know, oil
everything on perfume himself. And you know, as one shining,
you are shining like a beacon of lights this evening,
as always well it just does on a leaf, one
must shine. He kind of approaches you, Uh, he puts
his hands on your chest.
Speaker 8: What does it physically like melt a little bit like
just like the knees go weak a little bit.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: He puts his arm around you, around your waist when
he notices this, and it's almost like, I mean, you
know that he is not human, that he's not mortal,
so he uses his strength to hold you up when
he notices that your knees buckle a little bit, which.
Speaker 8: I immediately I am fine, yes, but I am fine.
I don't like set he feels the need to help
me in his face, so I straightened back up. Needly,
very rigidly.
Speaker 5: Oh you know that's not necessary between us, fell.
Speaker 8: I just don't need anyone to think I need this
sort of help, perhaps around you for a moment, but
I can manage to sit on my own.
Speaker 5: Of course, he kind of like backs up.
Speaker 6: Sorry, he goes over and pours himself.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mentioned I'm disfigured because I need to like
something to think about. I have weeping wounds that have
been bleeding for it.
Speaker 6: Now, okay, yeah, He pours himself a champagne and goes
and sits down on the bed and sort of taps the.
Speaker 5: Edge of it.
Speaker 6: Come now, tell me about your day. There's not an
ounce of like insincerity to him, I should say.
Speaker 8: And I, uh just like undo a button on my
shirt and I'm comfortable now, kind of leaning back. Well,
it's it's actually I have some great news today is
I've finally gained new employment. It's not the most exciting job, yes,
I uh it was thanks to fine government. I will
be working as a lathor operator in a precision factory.
It's very boring, but at least I will be getting
paid regularly, most of than I could say about my
current occupation.
Speaker 5: Felix. This is the most grand news.
Speaker 6: He stands up and he walks over, and even though
there's a bottle of champagne that's already opened, he picks
up a brand new one and pops it and goes.
Speaker 5: We must celebrate congratulations.
Speaker 8: Did I take it with my hand?
Speaker 5: Post my liver?
Speaker 8: Allow me to being able to afford more of your
wonderful drinks and your company pros. You know it is
they actually is the reason I have it is I
went to the the test center for replacement limbs there is,
and they actually help me get the jobs. They have
a new prosthetic that actually I directly connect to the
machine and I just move. I use my limb to
move to turn the let. It's very boring, but it
is something I can do well. He said, What did
he say? He said that I had a good shoulder
for attachments like a shelf. I guess he's a good thing.
But I'm just glad. I'm tired of being an organ
grinder on the north side of town. It is a
brutal I would tell you see, if there's one thing,
the competition is fierce these days. There are so many
and I am not looking for a fight they're getting
on your territory. I have to pay to rent the
barrel organ. And first of all, I just never think
I will see eye to eye with a monkey. I
tell you that has been the hardest thing. There are
times when he is screeching at me, just screeching his
little monkey mouth at me. For an Ice Fair, if
I listen closely, Ice Fair, he has an English accent. No, yes,
he is like a devil himself. But I'm free. I
am free of some monkey now, and I am here
enough about some monkey.
Speaker 5: Well, then we must do something to celebrate. Are you in?
Has it been bad today?
Speaker 8: Its bad every day? Yes, person in mornings are better
at nights obviously. Now I'm like pulling my collar open.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Constantine takes your hand and kisses it and then
runs his hand over your cheek. Well, yes to my
lathe operator, and then he leans in.
Speaker 8: And later on afterwards, late in the evening, may I
have a moment of your time to ask you something else?
Of course, right I don't want to ruin the moment
right now, I kind of like I like put my
hand on his cheek and like feel his incredibly soft skin,
supernaturally soft. That might say smooth. Yeah, and it's tilted my.
Speaker 6: Head, feelings in and plunges his teeth into your neck.
Speaker 8: There's a gasp and my head goes back and my
eyes will roll back in my head.
Speaker 5: What does it feel like when you get fed upon?
And that's not.
Speaker 8: Only this is the best feeling I have had ever,
and I really ever have in my life until the
next time he feeds upon me. Every time, I think
it is the best. But it's almost as good as sad.
I feel as it slowly fades afterwards. Yeah, and the
pain returns and the thoughts turn, but it is bliss.
I'm ignorant of everything that troubles me.
Speaker 6: Constantine. As he feeds from you, he so he knows
this about you, and I think as you sort of
lay in his arms, he does it as gently as possible,
but he knows he's giving you a reprieve from your pain,
and it just makes the moment even sweeter.
Speaker 8: I think, as much as it felt like it looked
like I was going to melt when you touched my chest,
at this point, I'm practically a pod al on the bed,
get some mop.
Speaker 5: We shall head back to the bar.
Speaker 6: I feel like that's the third time it's happened, Yeah,
a few times, all right. We head into the main
bar again, and at the bar, the bar top speaking
to who is Everyone calls Wolfe both Gang, but calls
Wolfy who is the daytime, daytime, nighttime bartender. He's a
beautiful man with long black hair, uh, and he has
diamonds glued underneath his eyes. And he is at the
bar in a tense conversation with Harry.
Speaker 9: Oh, listen, man, that is what I'm telling you, though. Okay,
sometimes you can see it, but only under certain conditions.
All right, So like there's place super mysterious. Okay, right,
I've got two witnesses, Boffy, Wiffy, listen to me. I've
got two witnesses from two different places, one from the UK,
one from Florida, and they if all say the same thing.
It's in the exact same location.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 9: I follow the map to a t I go there.
And I'm good at following my maps. Okay, you gotta
believe me or that. My daddy taught me that. Before
I was even turned I knew exactly where to go.
I followed that map perfect. I went right there. Nothing
but both of them said they've seen it. So are
they lying to me? They don't know each other. It's impossible. Okay,
it exists, but it doesn't exist, you understand.
Speaker 5: Yeah, nine, I don't know if I understand, to be honest,
but I believe you. Yeah.
Speaker 9: No, we could back it up. Then we can back
it up. Okay. So the reason why most people can't
see it is because the camerilla right casting blood sorcery
on the water source in most of the cities. Okay,
So then the humans drink that, and then we feed
on the humans and that blocks our ability to see
the building. Okay. Now, if you go out into the country,
you find yourself a good diet of blood from people
that are nowhere near the camerilla, they will eventually clear
you out and clear the system mount and then you
could see You could see this place. But not only that,
you experience life like we were meant to. Wofee. I'm
telling you, man, listen, I do it myself, but I've
got too many things that I'm working on in the
cities right now. But my cousin John, he has done it. There.
Hold on, both of you. There's another way that's faster, though.
Do you want to hear about it? Yes, okay.
Speaker 5: The other one starts to pour you another shot and
then hands it over.
Speaker 9: I'll take it the other way, okay. Is you gotta
find a virgin, but not a real verb. I mean,
sometimes their version doesn't really matter. But what is important
is that they're pure in intent and they're punished, okay,
And sometimes it's more common for actual virgins to be
pure in intent and honest. So that's why it's like
the virgin myth. But it's not really a verg You
need to drink their blood on a full moon, and
you need to follow the ceremony exactly.
Speaker 7: It's a ritual.
Speaker 9: Okay, it's a spell, all right. But here's the tricky part.
You don't drain them all the way. Okay, you just
take a little bit and then they fall asleep. Okay.
An hour later, exactly one hour later, okay, odds gonna
pop open. And that's when your eye pops open. But
your third eye right here, I'm telling you, man, it's
a real thing.
Speaker 5: I love this character. I'm so sorry. I can't believe
I'm supposed to gm under these conditions. All right, So
as you.
Speaker 6: Mention third eye, strangely, the velvet opens an incomes a courier,
Hans with.
Speaker 5: His friend.
Speaker 6: You've never seen this person before. You've seen Hans plenty
of times, but you've never seen him bring anybody with him.
And it's a bit strange because you know him to
be kind of a lone wolf individual. You know, like
he comes here and he sits down at the bar
and he just kind of like meets with Constantine. They
have a rapport, but he doesn't really talk to anybody
else very much, and you know, so, yeah, it's interesting
to you. I would say that he's coming in with
someone else.
Speaker 5: Can you roll for me?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I can roll for you. I'm watching them like
a hawk, though. I want you to know that I'll
see something. I gotta take a look.
Speaker 6: Flaty flat y hundred one D hundred and our regular PBu.
Speaker 9: I got you. Let's see what we get here. It's
gonna be at twelve. My eyes are open. Maybe I
got a third eye. You don't know. There's other ways.
I just haven't even found out yet.
Speaker 5: Okay, can you do one more role for me? Please?
Speaker 9: Yeah, but wait for the music an eight?
Speaker 7: Wait?
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay, when you turn and you look at this person,
you can absolutely fucking swear to God that they.
Speaker 5: Have a third eye.
Speaker 6: You see it for a split second and then it's gone,
just underneath their fringe. Do you realize, Oh, they have
a fringe there, Like their hair is covering their forehead.
Speaker 5: But the moment you saw them, it was almost as if.
Speaker 6: It was clear and you could see an eye just
in the middle of their forehead.
Speaker 5: It's gone now, but.
Speaker 9: Colors their hair dark brown, dark brown, got a dark
brown fringe on their forehead.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right, like a warius mustache. Well, more like
stuffed mop of hair.
Speaker 9: But yeah, sure, yeah, okay, I'll lean over to Wolf
and I say, who the hell is that.
Speaker 8: My own there.
Speaker 5: Kind of along.
Speaker 6: I've never seen that person before. It's fairly weird. Oh
but you know, we get the new ones every day.
Remember to be polite, you know, there may be.
Speaker 5: Uh curtsy, yeah, stand on courtesy.
Speaker 6: So for the audience, so uh for for everyone to know,
because all of you would know this.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 6: The bar has a thing that Constantine calls hefflich kitan
or courtesies basically, which is mortals come to this bar
as well as kindred. But the kindred have an agreement
to protect the reality of mortals. So a mortal can
come to this bar and have a wonderful time and
not know that they're surrounded by kindred. Some mortals do
stay and become regulars or residents of the bar for
various reasons. But yeah, when a new person comes in,
you know, you remember the courtesies.
Speaker 10: So Courier, Oh sorry, no, God, I was just about
to go, but you got set plans, So I'm gonna
let you do it.
Speaker 5: Courier.
Speaker 6: You step into the bar and you can hear from
a mile away you hear Harry at the bar going off,
and he turns and looks at you.
Speaker 5: Fuck, and you can see his eyes.
Speaker 6: He's got that glint in his eyes that you see
when he sees like evidence for the stuff he thinks
is true.
Speaker 5: A dog with a bone.
Speaker 7: Shit, I turned to Ilio ground rules. Your name is
not Ilia, would fucking it's something else? Lee? That's close enough, right,
you'll respond to that. A crazy person is going to
be yelling at you. He thinks he sees some shit.
It's probably I don't fucking know, an extra nipple or something.
Speaker 5: Okay, I don't.
Speaker 6: You don't have it even if you do, Okay, sure,
all right, quick.
Speaker 7: Answers with him, and he'll find another bone to chew on.
Speaker 5: Do you come here a lot?
Speaker 6: This place is uh, it doesn't really super vite mean,
I like it, but it doesn't really seem like a
place that you would go.
Speaker 7: What's that supposed to mean?
Speaker 5: Let's go talk to that guy.
Speaker 9: I take it.
Speaker 7: He just takes off and then I follow after him.
Speaker 5: What do you mean? He says?
Speaker 6: Okay, Elliot walks towards Harry.
Speaker 5: There's a sort of naivety to him. He's just like
walking around kind of in this freakishly trusting way, which
I'm sure really bugs you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm doing everything I can to not this is
gonna sound weird, but grabbing like the back of his neck,
but not in like a violent way, just a way
to guide him as if he were a small child.
I don't do it. I manage to fight that urge.
But I'm behind him, watching everyone in a much different way.
Speaker 5: Hi. Hello, you are looking at me. He reaches in
his hair.
Speaker 9: Hey listen, you ever been to Chattanooga?
Speaker 8: Fuck you?
Speaker 7: He hasn't listen.
Speaker 9: Man, Okay, Holms, I know you're a skeptic, and that's
what I love about you, because when I prove you
right to look on your face is gonna give me
who buzzes? Okay, now listen to me. Okay, have you
been to Chattanooga? I'll tell you no, No, don't let him.
Speaker 5: I don't really know where that is.
Speaker 9: Where it is you heard of Tennessee before?
Speaker 5: No, I can't say I have.
Speaker 9: That's America right, Yes it is, indeed, Beno. Okay, listen
to me. Now have you heard of a place in Chattanooga,
Tennessee that is there for some people but ain't there
for others? It's a bar?
Speaker 5: I can't say that I have. That sounds interesting? Is
it like this place.
Speaker 9: I need to roll? Is it to find out if
he is kindred or not? Can I tell?
Speaker 5: Yes? Can you roll for me? Please?
Speaker 9: Sure? At fifty right down in the middle.
Speaker 6: Okay, give me a second, because I think you would
know that you would know that he's a kindred.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you would just get the vibe.
Speaker 6: Pretty pretty quickly as soon as you got closer to you.
You can't really you're not really sure, like there's something unfamiliar,
but you can't really put your finger on it necessarily,
which I'm sure that compiled with the the thing.
Speaker 5: You saw at the very beginning is like very strange.
Speaker 9: Okay, yeah, yeah, listen, Okay, there's something special about you.
I can tell now. I will pay your way if
you come with me to chat. I want I want
you to see this place because I think you can
see it. I can't. I've been there, cannot see it.
And you've got something special in you. We won't know
what it is.
Speaker 5: Can you rule again?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'll roll again. A thirty six.
Speaker 6: You are suddenly aware that he is using an ability
on you?
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, what is the user?
Speaker 6: You don't necessarily well, A thirty six is pretty good,
to be honest.
Speaker 5: He's he's sizing you up.
Speaker 6: But the times you've been sized up before have been like,
oh is this person dangerous?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 6: But he's not sizing you up to find out if
you're dangerous. He's signs you up to find out if
you're good.
Speaker 9: Okay, all right, And that's what I get from, Like
he's using an ability or spell or something to figure
out if I'm a good guy. Yeah, okay, huh, I'll
stop for a second. Ago what's that? What's that tangling.
Speaker 7: My eyes? Dart immediately to Helio.
Speaker 5: Are you a good person? Harry?
Speaker 6: I'm asking, not the character, not Elliot. I'm asking, not Ellio.
Do you think you're a good person?
Speaker 9: I never thought about it before, been too busy, which
means yes.
Speaker 5: One moment, I have to do a little role for myself.
Oh yeah.
Speaker 6: He puts his hand out and says, Hi, Amelio, I
would love to go with you to Tennessee.
Speaker 5: Where are you going?
Speaker 9: Hey? Oh yeah, ma'am, Hell yeah, we can go tonight
if you want. I don't care. This is very important,
all right. This is going to prove everybody.
Speaker 11: Wrong, especially you little yesterday. I laugh and on his face,
I don't react. He does this all the time.
Speaker 9: Oh strong, silent top. We ain't never seen that before.
Speaker 7: Nope, certainly not twelve times and all of the different
shows here on Table Story Dot TV.
Speaker 9: None, No, No, this is this is where I get back
at you, and you have to sit there and grunt
and be upset about everything. You can't break the rules, Greg,
This is where I get to jump around and insult
you and whisper in your ear, and you just have
to be like, Okay, I love this shot.
Speaker 7: I wave over to the bar keep for my usual.
Speaker 5: Ah. Yes, of course.
Speaker 6: Wolfie brings out a glass and pours in an amber
liquid and slides it to you, then passes a ashtray
in your direction, leans out the smile on his face,
and lights a lighter. It's like one of the old
time he wants to do like the full. I mean,
that's not they're not old time because people still use them.
But you know what I mean. It does the full.
Speaker 5: He lights your cigarett.
Speaker 7: I look at him, much appreciated. Of course, Duncan.
Speaker 5: Thinks so much better. I'm so impressed.
Speaker 7: I've been working on it.
Speaker 5: Yes, I can see hands.
Speaker 7: Don't you have ency Deutsch psychic raccoons to be yelling about?
Speaker 9: Hey man, I know you're joking, but I actually read
about something recently. It's kind of similar. So I'm even
more suspicious of you know.
Speaker 7: Uh huh. My eyes start back to Ilio. I'm looking
for what is he doing? Is he still I assume,
staring at hair or is.
Speaker 5: He he's got he's got like a smile on his face,
and he's a little bit more relaxed.
Speaker 6: Like the whole time that you were on your way
to this place, to the bar. He he seemed to
be acting like normal, Okay, like what you would expect
from someone who says that they're hiding and they're trying
to escape from something. You know, he was nervous and
kind of like looking around, but the moment you entered
the bar, it he just seemed to like the energy
that you get is like a deer, just a gentle deer.
He's just walking around, eyes wide, smiling at everything he sees.
You know, he's looking now at Harry as Harry's yammering around,
and he's just like nodding and kind of following, like, no,
you know.
Speaker 7: Mmm, I'll go over back. What was the bar keeps name.
I forget Wolfy hopefully wilfy, and I go back to Wolfy. Wolfy,
can you get con for me please?
Speaker 5: Yes, of course. Uh.
Speaker 6: In a moment, Wolfy kind of like flashes a smile.
He's got his teeth out with you. He goes and
takes a turn behind the behind the bar.
Speaker 5: And uh.
Speaker 6: He lifts this sort of like spirit flask that's in
the in the thing.
Speaker 5: He lifts it and behind is a little speaker section.
Speaker 6: Uh, and he sort of taps it and goes, Hello
constantin and then a little like wrap gravelly voice on
the other line goes like he's with a customer in German,
and then he goes, oh.
Speaker 5: He turns to you and goes, is it important.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm beginning to think it's important.
Speaker 6: Okay, can you turns back? Can you make sure he
comes down at the earliest convenience? And the person on
the other line goes yeah, and then he puts the
bottle back and turns.
Speaker 5: That, uh, Kindred, where did you find him?
Speaker 7: I guess you could say he more found me.
Speaker 5: Hmmm. I never took you for the type.
Speaker 6: But good luck, well done, kind of like shimmis his shoulders,
completely misreading what's going on.
Speaker 7: I take a drink and my eyes do not now
leave Ilia.
Speaker 6: Felix in the room. It doesn't last very long, which
I think is something. Oh sorry, go ahead, I mean, yes, okay,
you're a good point. Yeah, but you're sort of winding
down from your time together.
Speaker 5: And then uh.
Speaker 6: Sort of sound like a bird out of the corner
from where Constantine came out of echoes. And he turns
to you and goes, oh, so I must get back.
Speaker 5: Will you come with me?
Speaker 8: I split out. Yeah, yeah, I will just bring myself
together and make myself presentable again. He gets I promise.
Speaker 5: It, gives you a kiss and then says, perfect, see
you down.
Speaker 8: There, drink from me like I'm something sweet.
Speaker 6: You've always been sweet, and then he leaves the room.
Speaker 5: How are you feeling?
Speaker 8: Well, pretty good, A bit empty. I think it's just
kind of just laying there in the whatever's remaining of
the euphoria that comes from when Constantine drinks from him,
knowing that it's gonna not fade away like immediately, but
at some point it all or his travels will creep
back in again. It's trying to enjoy it for as
long as he can, but as soon as it starts
to fade to that point he gets up. He just
drinks another glass of the bourbon, like make sure his
arm is attached, buttons his shirt back up, and then
then walks back out.
Speaker 6: I think one thing that you would notice is that
here in the bar, people don't look at you the
same way that they look at you outside in the
in the world, you know, not.
Speaker 8: To look at me, yeah, but.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, all right, nobody looks at me outside, but
here people do.
Speaker 6: Constantine comes back to the bar sort of waltzes out
and gives a look over everything around him, and then
heads over to you, Harry and.
Speaker 5: Sorry carry and Hans.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Connie, carry here you are, come here, let me
tell you something. I got something for you. Okay, okay,
this guy can see now I was talking about before
this guy could see. I'm gonna take him to shout
and again, I'm gonna prove everything to you. Okay, you
won't come with.
Speaker 6: Constantine looks at Alio, who is like a new person, right,
a new person to the bar, has never met this
person before, and he reaches out his hand and says, hello,
he's been Constantine. Nice to meet you. I see you
have met my friends. Alio just kind of like nods
along and he looks at Constantine and sort of frowns
and then smiles, gives you a big smile. Actually, a
courier just looks at you.
Speaker 5: This is great, thanks for bringing here.
Speaker 7: Huh. I don't think I say anything. I think I'm
just I'm not sure how to proceed with the sudden
change in his attitude. And it feels at a crossroads
because this feels wrong for some reason, but I know
I'm in a safe place.
Speaker 8: M hm.
Speaker 9: Am.
Speaker 5: I is this like the first time you have felt
like that here?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 8: Yeah, Well.
Speaker 7: To this degree. I think the first time I came
here was similar, but it was quickly persuaded by Constantine
and the staff, And over the years, I think I've
forgotten that, and now more than ever before, it's just
I'm at a crossroads of confliction.
Speaker 5: Constantine looks at you and says, you wanted to talk?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you've met my new associate, right.
Speaker 5: Yes, what was your name? Again? Elio says Elio.
Speaker 7: There's something weird about this one, not in a bad way,
in I motioned to the bar this way.
Speaker 6: Do say that, like, while Ilio can hear you, are
we having like a hushed conversation?
Speaker 7: No? I don't think I would go far enough away
from him to have a hushed conversation right now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Constantine kind of leans in and says, how did
you meet this individual?
Speaker 7: I took a job that ended up and I'm thinking
of all of the events that led up into that
moment of me meeting this young man. I took a
fake job, I guess, And now I'm babysit this one.
There are others after him. He was just going to
leave town.
Speaker 5: Who is after him?
Speaker 7: Who's after you?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 6: This is a moment where Elliot kind of It's like
he remembers himself. He kind of freezes again. The Camriilla, Harry,
can you roll for me please?
Speaker 9: Yes? Seventeen sells of my favorite number.
Speaker 6: You look at Elio again, and when he says that
the Camarilla are coming after him, suddenly you remember.
Speaker 5: The third eye that came up full on light bulb.
Speaker 6: You remember the third eye, and then you remember that
you've heard this rumor over the years. Right, if you're
not really in how deep are you in Camarilla business
or kindred business?
Speaker 9: How deep does the crocodile take his prey underwater?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 6: You remember that there is a clan that, yeah, the
Camarilla actively hunt, and specifically you know that the traumare
effectively wiped them out because they were evil. There's something
really dangerous about them. And you remember that the Camarilla
has been saying forever that the moment that you find one,
you have to bring it in.
Speaker 9: What are they called.
Speaker 5: Salubris?
Speaker 6: So I have one question for you, though, how often
do you believe the things that Camarilla says?
Speaker 9: Zero percent of the time. They always have another agenda mind,
They are designed to control us. Okay, there are four
points every city, and each one has its own little
sector that they do a little spell right there, and
then they connect. Right. The city is designed to control us.
But that's where we go, because that's where we're supposed
to go. All right. So all the secrets in the
city are in each load four locations, but you can't
access any of them unless you go to each loads
four locations. Let me tell you what. This is, probably
one of them secrets. I'll bet you this sillubrate. All
they are are kindred with an open third eye. Let's
see it.
Speaker 6: You know this to be true, but that seventeen you
know that these rumors have been propaganda, as most things are.
And you have this conviction as you have with everything
like that. The camilla are putting things into the drinking water.
Speaker 9: Well, they're casting spells into the drinking water. It's worse.
Speaker 5: They are, Yeah, they are. So when this.
Speaker 6: Individual says the camarilla, you see them for who they are,
which is a salubris who is escaping, yeah and needs
to hide.
Speaker 9: Okay, man, I say, all right, everybody, shut the hell up.
Listen to you. Have you ever heard of the four
points of the Diamond of Lies?
Speaker 5: No, but tell me everything, okay.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Well, basically this is it. There's four points in
each city. It makes a diamond, and it's a diamond
of lies, okay, and they use that diamond to control us.
All right now, each of those points is important. But
let me tell you something. We're inside of it right now.
If you don't know how to get out with that
byingd seen, pardon my German, but you're fucked.
Speaker 8: Ha ha.
Speaker 5: Right okay.
Speaker 6: Constantine kind of looks at looks at l e oh
and says, don't worry.
Speaker 5: If you're looking to hide for the night, we can
do that.
Speaker 9: We can do that, Connie. We gotta go. We gotta
leave right noya. I'm talking tunnels underground, ancient systems from
castles forgotten from the time of yr. We gotta get
out of here, miyan.
Speaker 7: We can't leave right now. They'll be looking at every
exit and entrance into the city, sewers, roads, whatever.
Speaker 5: Who gave you the job?
Speaker 6: Constantine asks, uh, ask you career.
Speaker 8: Well, let's have the job. Was it wasn't better than
the one I just received? I yea come back, that's
me coming up. That's me coming back in.
Speaker 5: Coming into the scene.
Speaker 8: Yeah, hello, hello, everyone here Harry, her Courier, her Woolfe.
Speaker 7: Felix. Hey, tip my drink to you, welcoming.
Speaker 8: Thank you Uncle Dunca. Harry, do you have any wonderful
stories for me tonight? I just I love how you
tell them. Also, I really I'm starting to believe this.
I've seen some weird things going on as I'm grinding
the organ.
Speaker 9: Hell yeah, hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Man,
your second hof is going to be coming back, but
in a different point.
Speaker 8: Okay, that that would be wonderful. Sometimes I bump into
a lot of things unintentionally.
Speaker 9: Allow me.
Speaker 8: I've got a new job. Allow me to buy you
a drink and return for your story.
Speaker 9: It's not exactly gonna help you with the not bumping
into things, except for you'll be able to know when
you're going to bump into something before you bump into.
It's gotta be nice. Yeah, it's it's kind of better even.
Speaker 8: But are you drinking? I don't know lots of right straights, straits,
whatever it is, do not if I can help it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, don't drink the water. That's my number one rule.
If you are in the city or any place where
they treat the water they're treating it with blood. Magic. Man,
there's rituals on the four diamond. The four points of
the diamond lies and it makes the water very contaminated. Okay,
so we're easier to control.
Speaker 8: I'm just watching them, like very interesting and everything he
has to say.
Speaker 9: I'm just like, oh, yeah, you've never been to Shettanouga,
have you?
Speaker 8: No, it's never been. I don't even know where it is.
Speaker 9: You seen Tennessee, man, I'm telling you, last week, I
got a second confirmation. Okay, two different people, two different
places to tell me the same thing. You know what
that means?
Speaker 8: But how do they even know each other?
Speaker 9: No, they do not know.
Speaker 8: They must be true. How can two people have the
same thought?
Speaker 9: You know what? A journalist from called out. But it's
that I have no idea, but probably something.
Speaker 8: I think You're right. Yeah, well I will have a
drink for myself then, and just as suburban please vote

Speaker 8: I'm talking to the group. If we're all standing around,
I've invaded the group.

Speaker 5: Him, right, Uh Lee, elliot. I reach out my hand,

Speaker 5: The music doesn't keep going.

Speaker 5: Time hold on as Constantina have to roll. Oh, Constantine.
Speaker 6: Looks at you curiously and then says, why don't you
all follow me to one of our nice sir rooms,
and then he uh sort of stalks off.
Speaker 9: Okay, yeah, I'll go there.
Speaker 5: Do you all follow?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm directly behind Elio.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: You walk through the bar. The bar is this kind
of strange.
Speaker 6: It feels large but still cozy, and when you exit
one of the doorways, you find a hallway and all
of you would kind of know that there's private rooms,
and then there's like longer private rooms where people can
stay there for longer periods of time. There's dressing rooms
for the people who are putting on a show. There's
just lots of It's kind of labyrinthian, which is interesting
from you know, the facade that it has outside. But
he walks you down one of these hallways and you know,
gestures for you to enter the room, and when you do,
you sort of notice that it's this like suddenly very
kind of modest in comparison to the rest of the bar.
It still has like a nice sofa, there's.
Speaker 5: A small.
Speaker 6: Chair, there's a desk with sort of like lights around it,
like one of those makeup vanity tables. And on the
vanity there's like books strewn everywhere, scarves, clothes, and then
on the vanity there's a drawing of a young man
that's framed and just there, and there's a flower that's
just in front of it. And I think this might
be the first time that you recognize that this this
is like Constantine's private room. And I don't think any
of you have well, actually, I think some of you
might have been in here.
Speaker 5: I think that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, uh, Courier, you're probably the only person
who's been back here. Yeah, But for the other two.
It's it's brand new.
Speaker 9: The second we get in, I go, oh, man, hey,
where do you keep the sword?
Speaker 5: The sword?
Speaker 9: Yeah, in the stone?
Speaker 5: Uh, he goes in the rock.
Speaker 6: He goes, and he walks into uh like in a closet.
He's got a smile in his face, and he kind
of like fishes around the closet and like silks and
sort of like what everyone else would recognize to be
like costume paraphernalia.
Speaker 5: Starts to like fall.
Speaker 6: Out, and he pulls out this, uh, this sort of
rickety sword. It's not anywhere near like a medieval looking sword.
It's more like a rapeyer or something that you would
use in a performance at a show. And he brings
it out and then hands it to you with two hands.
Speaker 5: Uh here you are.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I take it like you know, holding the Hilton.
Then two fingers under under the blade and I'm like,
oh wow, I didn't expect it to look like this
at all.
Speaker 8: How does here?
Speaker 9: This is excalibur?
Speaker 8: Man?
Speaker 9: Oh, I kneel, I like, I like tak it in
my hand. I'm like, okay, I'm the king. I'm just
kidding on nothing, kick, but you know what I'm talking about. Wow,
he's so cool man, I knew you had it in here.
Speaker 7: I'm directly behind the ilio. I move him away from
the maniac with the prop sword.
Speaker 6: Constantine looks at you, Harry and says, what was it
that you were saying before that you heard that people
were looking for him?
Speaker 9: Listen? You know you know me, Connie, I got eyes
and ears everywhere because I always want to know what
they're up to, all right, And I specifically heard someone
minchine Here's description being chased and not in a small
white like it's a big deal. They gonna be kicking
down doors quietly.
Speaker 5: I uh.
Speaker 6: Constantine looks to to Hans and says, have you heard
this as well?
Speaker 7: Yeah? From him? And can I wringle?
Speaker 9: We've notes three years?
Speaker 5: Yes, please roll.
Speaker 7: I want to roll to see if I've heard anything else,
like on the streets that would seventeen.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, that's the same role. That's the same role.
Speaker 3: They heard from the same person, weird, my favorite named.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they've heard it. You heard it from the same person. Yeah,
So can you describe, uh, can you describe a little
bit more of what you do, the people that you
interact with, and how you might have heard this information?
Speaker 9: Sure, I absolutely.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 7: Go on, where have you heard this information from?
Speaker 9: Oh? They were clearly talking to you. I know I'm
bringing an asshole like you are.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 3: I love this so much.
Speaker 7: I'm a bit of a messenger and delivery service in
a way. I take jobs as they come in, mostly
from trusted sources, not always. The only thing that helps
keep my mind still and quiet is keeping it busy.
This particular job on this evening I got from a
source of a source, and it seems simple enough. Stop
the two love birds from loving, send them on their way.
I don't usually take jobs where involves escorting someone from
one place to another. Doesn't seem right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just reserved for gamers.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but like the person you're escorting like moves faster
than you do when you walk, but slower than you
do when you run. So you just realize a little
bit and then stop, and then move a little bit
and then stop.
Speaker 5: Yep, I just realized that's literally what I've done in
this episode is giving you persons going on over the place,
and you're.
Speaker 14: Like, where are you going?
Speaker 5: Oh my god, can you can you roll again for me?
Speaker 7: Okay, there's my rolls back?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Oh, shiteah.
Speaker 9: Is that a good role, Greg?
Speaker 7: It's just about the worst role you can get outside
of a one hundred.
Speaker 5: Courier.
Speaker 6: Now that you think about it, when you think about
who gave you the job, you realize that they went
They go by the name of Seven's usually right, Is
that right now? Suddenly you're not so sure. You're trying
to remember what they looked like, but you kind of can't.
Were they blonde? Were they a man or a woman.
You're suddenly finding that there's a hole in your memory,
a hole that.
Speaker 5: You only know to be the mark of kindred exposure.
Speaker 6: Someone gave you this job, but they altered your memory
to do it, and you don't know who they are.
When was the last time that you felt this type
of interference?
Speaker 7: Would this be similar to the early days of frequenting
this establishment, when I would leave and it felt almost instantaneous.
I would enter and then leave what I could tell
time has passed from environment around me. Is it similar
to that feeling?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is, but.
Speaker 6: This time it doesn't feel, you know, like the memory lingering,
the memory that had been stored here by the keepers
of certain mortal memories who come to this place and
wish to come back but don't want to break the masquerade.
They can choose to have their memory taken for the
time that they are outside and then find their way back.
It was a choice always for you, in those early
days before Constantine gave you the option to retain your
memory of Kindred's existence, and when you started doing this job,
this was not a choice.
Speaker 7: Con I look up at Constantine the memory vanishing trick
that you do here, anyone else in say area do it.
Speaker 5: Well? To be honest, many different types of Kindred can.
There's some of us who do it extremely well, but
it could be anybody.
Speaker 7: What about memory replacement?
Speaker 5: I must roll, Harry, can you roll for me?
Speaker 9: I was just about to jump, but yeah, an eighty five?
Speaker 6: Okay, So I don't know. I'm going to take the
Pebe rule of failures. It's not necessarily a failure. So
I will let you decide whether or not you can
think of anyone who does this could be known for
doing this. I think maybe the problem is that, like
Constantine said, it's an ability that a lot of Kindred have.
But can you think of anyone and why you might
why that eighty five might be an eighty five.
Speaker 9: It's bad news. Yes, I have tell me exactly.
Speaker 3: What if you think of them and it is the
right person, but they're aware that you now realize what
has happened to you.
Speaker 5: Yep, I love that. Yeah, that's super dope.
Speaker 9: So because I think of it, then I know that
they know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and now you're in a spiral of they know
you know.
Speaker 9: Oh yesh okay, hold on first, all.
Speaker 3: I really wanted was this spiralready here.
Speaker 9: I got Wait a minute, stop the music. The last
time you had braised beef? What when was the last
time you had braised beef recently? I bet huh.
Speaker 7: I don't remember the last time I had braised beef.
Speaker 8: Really, it is so delicious, you think you would remember it.
Speaker 9: Very well, exactly. You would remember it because there's a
place here that does amazing braised beef. But it's also
connected to the man in the second floor. He looks
down the window on the braised beef factory and he
has a power to delete everything that you thought you
would never get, and he replaces it whatever he wants.
But here's the thing, though, when you realize that it's
been replaced, then he knows that you know. So he's
gonna come here right now. He knows that I know
that you know. So now he's gonna come in here
and kick doors in quiet. Lady's gonna find this man,
and then we're all gonna die. He's got power. You
wouldn't believe, Connie. You gotta get me out of here.
I can have Connie's silk robe or whatever the fuck
he's wearing.
Speaker 7: Touch it.
Speaker 8: I didn't drink.
Speaker 7: Must the day that ends, and why.
Speaker 6: I think Since we're gonna go with that, then the
person that you think of, you know, uh, goes under
the name Everhearst, and you know that they are an
assistant to the Prince of Berlin.
Speaker 9: Everhearst Mates, and poor you man, I'm telling you, I'm
so sorry to make your serious story.
Speaker 5: No, no, this is so good. No, I love every second.
It's so good.
Speaker 3: We all know that's where the real money is.
Speaker 5: What what are you talking? What are you talking about? Nothing?
Speaker 9: Ever Hurst. He's gonna find us. He knows that we
know that. He knows. Okay, he probably knows we're all
in here right now.
Speaker 7: Then stop thinking about him? What?
Speaker 9: Stop thinking about him? Might as well ask you to
stop looking like your sad little puppy dog died in
front of you. It's part of who I am.
Speaker 5: May I not think.
Speaker 7: Think about something else, like I don't know, pink elephants
or something.
Speaker 14: You don't look exactly like John Wick. I got there
in the.
Speaker 8: End, East meets anymore. This is what's eating from this, Okay,
I will not catch it.
Speaker 9: Tell now. Actually taper off slowly, because if you just
stop showing up one day, they're gonna no tell no.
Speaker 8: All right, I will lean myself off everheart.
Speaker 9: Yeah, wean yourself off and then start complaining like, oh,
my doctor's saying I can't meet you any more, blah
blah blah, something like that.
Speaker 8: You know, crazy doctor. Yeah, I will do this.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. You're into American well, you're
into Eastern medicine or something weird.
Speaker 3: Harry knows the future in that moment. He just knows
what's coming.
Speaker 8: Wah, I did enjoy my time in Poland.
Speaker 9: Yes, I happened to Eastern medicine.
Speaker 5: One day.
Speaker 13: You're gonna realize how bad that is for you.
Speaker 5: Don't care that the doctors are recommending it.
Speaker 3: Right now for stress.
Speaker 5: He just knows, man, Okay.
Speaker 6: Constantine sort of is like Okay, I don't understand. Can
anyone ever Hurst?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Wait, hold on, sorry, my first time GMing.
Speaker 6: I have to delete my brain there for a second,
because of course Constantin would fucking know Whoeverhurst is.
Speaker 3: Okay, he's the assistant to the prince.
Speaker 6: He's the assistant to the prince, and he's you know,
he's like in with the Camerala, so he knows.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: He like turns to Alio and says, like, you're being
hunted by Everhurst?
Speaker 5: Is it the same man? Alio's confused.
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Whoever they send. There's Camerala everywhere, right.
Speaker 9: Uh, yeah, there's Camarilla everywhere. Hello, how long you've been alive?
Speaker 5: I've sixty years?
Speaker 9: Sixty okay, baby, baby ba guess what, there's Camilla everywhere.
There's a concentration of more than twenty eight kindred within
forty square miles. Okay, that's the rules.
Speaker 5: Okay, listen.
Speaker 6: Uh, I'm not really supposed to, you know, talk about
this too much, but yeah, they want to. What they
say about people like me isn't true. Okay, it's they.
Speaker 9: Don't say it.
Speaker 8: Say it.
Speaker 5: But if you're gonna help me.
Speaker 7: In out, it's fine you can say it out loud.
Speaker 8: Did they say about you? Hell up?
Speaker 9: Man? I start trying to like, so the sword is
like a prop sword, right, it can't like is it sharp?
Speaker 5: Oh? I mean it's not. It's not sharp, but it
is metal. So if you were like really.
Speaker 9: Like whacking them a little bit with shut up? Not you,
not you. I'm sorry, I'm talking.
Speaker 5: Boy.
Speaker 7: But the number of times that I've gotten whacked with
a prop of any sort from him is my body's
gotten numb to the sensation.
Speaker 9: Stop encouraging him. It starts playing. It's him in the rain,
smoking a cigarette.
Speaker 7: Tired of being what you want me to be.
Speaker 13: He scribbles it down on the napkin and then becomes.
Speaker 6: Years later, Constantine turns to uh, turns to Hans and Henry. Okay,
here's what we're going to do. Yeah, we're going to
hi this person who now Yeah, because it sounds like
it's racy, Harry, my apologies, it's Harry.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So he turns to Harry and Hans. Okay, what I
need both of you to do is can you go
and let.
Speaker 5: Bofull.
Speaker 6: We know that we need to hide this person. We
have a special place, but I'm going to go and
speak with uh, go and speak with my my assistant,
my partner, and can you I turn to I turned
to Felix. Can you keep an eye on him?
Speaker 8: Yeah, of course, be happy to Okay?
Speaker 9: Does your hiding place have multiple exits?
Speaker 7: I'm gone, I left.
Speaker 5: Go after him.
Speaker 6: Yeah it doesn't. Yeah, and then Constantine also leaves, leaving
you with l e Oh, so.
Speaker 5: What happened to you?
Speaker 8: Looking for you? What happened to me?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Are you?
Speaker 8: And I assume you're not asking about my new job
since I received today as a lath operator.
Speaker 5: Congrats? No, I was you know? He kind of motions too.
Speaker 8: Oh it was the war, she might expect.
Speaker 6: Yeah, lost a lot of friends.
Speaker 8: Yeah, for you in it yourself.
Speaker 5: No, I was too young. I look too young. I mean,
you know when let me in.
Speaker 8: Till I was too young as fair. But apparently I
look too old. And even if you're sixty years old,
now believe me, you are too young.
Speaker 5: May I?
Speaker 6: He kind of motions to let you motions to the sofa.
Speaker 5: Have you sit down with them?
Speaker 8: Please? Please? So you are a fan of Sam Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah I am. He looks at you. Can you
roll for me please?
Speaker 8: Yeah? Just a day one hundred. Yeah, ye have seen.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 6: You look into his eyes and there's this moment where
you can see he has a third eye. His gaze
pulls you in and suddenly you don't feel any pain.
You don't feel you know, even when you were, even
when you meet with Constantine here there is a sort
of deep in the back of your mind, right, you
still are always feeling that pain.
Speaker 5: You know it's there.
Speaker 6: But this time, as you look into his eyes, he
reaches out and he puts his hand on your shoulder
and you see before you this image of a boy
in a hospital, and it's him, and he's dancing around,
making the other kids in the hospital laugh. We're all
much younger than him, and you feel like he's been
there a long time. And there's this moment where you
just feel a purity. And he says, the type of
one that I am, it's well, there's not many of
us left. They want to kill us. We can do this,
and he puts a finger on your forehead where a
third eye might be, and suddenly you feel no pain
at all.
Speaker 8: How did you do this? I stand up quickly and
I start moving around to see if I like I can.
I'm still limping or if it hurts.
Speaker 5: No, it's all gone.
Speaker 8: Why would you do this? What will I do when
it goes away?
Speaker 5: He looks pained. It won't.
Speaker 8: What do you mean it von't? It just fades away
every time, and I'm left, what's the way I was?
It's the way I am.
Speaker 5: Not this time? My maker?
Speaker 6: It was a doctor. We choose each other or what
we can do. It was a healer, and so that
means I'm a healer. We can heal.
Speaker 8: I like, there's like just tears coming out of my
one eye and just streaming down my face, like just
in shock and disbelief, like like trying very hard to
believe that this will actually stay.
Speaker 6: As you as tears are going down your face, you
notice that uh Alio is also crying from all three
of his eyes.
Speaker 8: How do how do you do this? Do you sweat?
This will not go away?
Speaker 6: It won't. It won't go away. And it means that
you know, you can try again. You can be in
a place like this and enjoy it, you know.
Speaker 8: I think I sit back down next to Alio again,
and I grab one of his hands as firmly as
a human can grab a vampire's hand. What's about the
rest of it, and I kind of take his hand
and I put it like on my head thoughts about sis,
like not the wound, but like implying mind.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I fake up every night screaming was this begonde too?
Speaker 5: I can't deal with that? Do that bit?
Speaker 8: Tell me? I have asked before and he has said no.
But what can I do? What can I do for
you to make me like you? I will do anything
I don't. I love this place. It is really the
only reason I can manage to get through any day
of my days anymore. But it fades, and every night
I see it again. I see them in front of me, suffering,
and I see myself turning my back and running away,
and I'm mhm, do you do Do you fear dying?
Speaker 5: My kind?
Speaker 7: We? Uh?
Speaker 6: There's only seven of us left. I fear dying because
that's what we do. As far as I know. We die,
We get caught, and we die. So yes, I fear death.
Speaker 8: But you do not fear things like we fear. And
if you was there, you could have helped them, or
you would have. And perhaps if I was like you,
I know I cannot go back to save them, but
perhaps then then these Nightmas happened. I remember that I
do not have to fear this, and even if I
die while i'm having them, at least I tried to
save them. And I would rather continue to die every
night than live like a coward like I have been.
Speaker 5: Elio looks. He looks pained while you're saying this.
Speaker 8: I wish I could, but I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This
has been very overwhelming for me, and I thank you
as I cannot thank you enough. I still feel wonderful
and I'm asking too much. It has been made clear
to me before I do not understand these things, and
I apologize. Her Lee.
Speaker 5: Looks at you again. I have to roll. Listen. I
maybe one one day we'll meet again and I'll know
how to. I can do it then. I can't do
it now, but maybe I can do it then?
Speaker 8: Good, don't no?
Speaker 7: Just not?
Speaker 8: Of course? Yes, of course your safety is most important.
You need to so going to hide, you say out
wonderful people are very capable as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah I can. I'm a good judge of character.
Speaker 8: But Dunker. I stand up, and but I look at
him and I say, look at this, and I jump
and I click my heels and I go I haven't
been able to do this since nineteen thirteen. They're nineteen fourteen.
I was good for a year, I think. But thank you.
Speaker 5: My pleasure. He smiles at you, and it's warm and guileless.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna ask a question I already know the answer to,
because we're in Constantine's room. Yes, it's here a mirror. Yeah,
I kind of turn around. I go look at the
mirror and I just do want of these to check.
Speaker 9: But my eyes still roll for me.
Speaker 8: Oh shit, h forty.
Speaker 5: Yeah the eye is still gone.
Speaker 8: There was a hole before.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's still gone.
Speaker 8: I jump and click my heels again.
Speaker 5: We move out of the room and follow, uh, follow
Career and Harry. What are you both doing?
Speaker 7: I'm walking to Wolfy as was requested, and wasn't going
to stand around listening to another wild conspiracy theory.
Speaker 9: Okay, but I'm telling you, if they could control spiders,
then you'd know that nowhere is safe. Spiders are everywhere.
Speaker 7: I say nothing.
Speaker 9: You know that feeling you get when you think of
spiders on you guess what they are?
Speaker 5: Do you go and speak to Wolfe you yes, as Constantine? Yeah, okay,
Now what can I do for you, gentlemen, we.
Speaker 7: Need a.
Speaker 9: Nyana hybricole.
Speaker 7: My eyes dark probably the first time in this whole
trip from one room to the other. We need a
room where.
Speaker 8: Eyebrico.
Speaker 7: Well, that favors discretion, as per CON's wishes.
Speaker 6: Claw He nods his head seriously, and then he walks
through a door behind the bar. Uh, he's not You
don't really see him for a second. Then he comes
out another door. It's kind of again LABYRINTHI in this
this bar, and he says, uh.
Speaker 5: Follow me, what does it for? How bad are we
talking now?
Speaker 9: In eleven twelve a million?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 9: It's bad, man, Like the lightning is striking, the hooves
are thundering, the place is on fire, the bird has
left the building.
Speaker 7: She lows, there's no point in tipping my glass upside down,
which is a code that we've developed over the past
ten years in secret to let you know that it's bad.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, no, the music does not stuck.
Speaker 6: All right, Yeah, follow me, we can find a place.
He kind of unlocks another door and opens it, and
it leans down another hallway that looks very similar to
all of the other hallways, and you start walking to
a place that the bar, Harry, you would not know,
but I think Coreer you might know that there are
places to hide people here for times when they need
to be hidden.
Speaker 5: It's not like a huge deal.
Speaker 6: It doesn't happen a lot, but you know, the bar
has been around a long time, so it's really more
of a courtesy, you know. And so he brings you
down this hallway and then opens another door and says, okay,
this one should do. There's an exit there and an
exit there, should it be use?
Speaker 7: I look at Wolfee, is this going to suffice? Assuming
it's an army of you looking for this individual?
Speaker 5: Well, what are we talking about? Army of me?
Speaker 9: Of strange? Split it out come.
Speaker 7: On now, an army of monsters. And I hesitate on
the word.
Speaker 9: Monsters.
Speaker 5: Boffy kind of.
Speaker 9: Sorry that man.
Speaker 7: Not everything that is a conspiracy, Harry. Some things are
just the way they are.
Speaker 9: Yeah, the way they are because some people in the
back room have cooked it all up together, and then
they use their influence to get little ponds to move
around on the table to do what they want.
Speaker 7: I look at Wolfie. What's the their facial expression?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Can you roll please?
Speaker 7: Forty eight?
Speaker 6: So you've been coming here a while, and you know
Wolfie pretty well. You are a good read of character.
But the thing about Kindred is that they are supernatural.
So if they don't want you to know something, you're
not really going to know it. As immortal, I think
that because you have known him for so long, you
do see.
Speaker 5: A sort of.
Speaker 6: Crestfallen is what I would say, a crestfallen look pass
over his eyes before he kind of looks away and
smooths it out and goes well, Solich is not really
built for an army of us. It is built for
an army of pleasure, not war. But we can protect
it if necessary.
Speaker 7: I think we'll need to.
Speaker 5: Harry you rule for me, please.
Speaker 7: Yes.
Speaker 9: Thirty four.
Speaker 5: You are suddenly overwhelmed with a glee.
Speaker 6: That you know to be belonging to everhearst.
Speaker 5: He's found.
Speaker 9: Oh shit, man, he knows exactly where they where we are.
He's gonna be sending the boots. They're gonna be stopping
through the streets. The rain's gonna be fallen, but the
rain rain, it's blood. Motherfucker eats blood.
Speaker 5: You hear a gasp from the main and main room
of the bar.
Speaker 8: Up the rrusic.
Speaker 7: We're too late.
Speaker 5: Well, if he books it out of the room, do
you follow them?
Speaker 7: I don't. I'm going to use one of the exits
in this room and I'm going to try to circle around.
Speaker 6: Okay you yeah, you leave through this exit and it
does lead to another hallway. Like I said, the hallways
are all very similar. It's the sort of like, uh,
you know, pin striped red wallpaper and these velvet curtains
over these doors, or you know some some rooms are
open concepts, sort of like you can walk through an
open doorway and see that there's sofas and comfortable places
to flight cards or drink and just like quieter areas
of the bar. But yeah, you you make your way out, Harry,
what are you doing?
Speaker 9: What's the like rules on weapons? Do I still have mine?
Speaker 7: You?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I mean like you still if you didn't put it down,
you still have it.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Generally weapons are not permitted in the bar.
Speaker 9: Oh they're not, but well I got one.
Speaker 6: Sorry, Constantine gave it to you himself, So I think
you can feel confident in.
Speaker 9: Oh you mean the sword okay?
Speaker 5: Oh? Oh, sorry?
Speaker 9: You have about weapons that? Like, would they check our
weapons or what?
Speaker 6: Okay, they don't check it is a sort of like
trust feature of the bar, so they say like, please,
no weapons, and they kind of trust you to not
bring them in.
Speaker 9: Okay, I got weapons.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what do you do.
Speaker 9: I've got I actually I have like a i have
like a hunting knife, which is like not that big
of a deal. But and then I've got I have
a snubnosed revolver in my boot. Okay, okay, And so
I've got I want to each hand a gun knife.
I'm coming out here. I'm ready to like, I'm ready
to fight, you know, I'm ready to go.
Speaker 5: Okay, it's like my daddy taught me, like your daddy
taught you.
Speaker 6: So you you're going back to the main room from
the place that you came from, or are you going
to be.
Speaker 5: Following I'm going back to the mine room, main room.
Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, I'm ready to fight, to escape, to be clear, Yeah,
here to take on an army.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So when you get to the main room, there is
a large group of kindred there, and you would recognize,
first of all, there are mortals who are losing their
minds in the corners because they have never seen this before.
There are some mortals that come here frequently and they
just do not know that this is a thing. But
these kindred, there's maybe like fifteen of them, okay, and
one is standing in front and you recognize him to
be ever Hearst. He's tall, wearing a suit. He looks
very dapper and put together. He's got a hat on.
And you would also know that almost every single one
of these kindred are tremare.
Speaker 9: Oh I do not lock them all? No, how many
of marlar like quick count more than a does?
Speaker 6: Fifteen and I would say sixteen, yeah, yeah, yeah, I rehearsed.
Speaker 5: Steps up, yeah, Everhearst steps up.
Speaker 6: I am looking to speak with the owner of this establishment.
Speaker 5: Bitter Constantine steps out. That's been ech ever Hurst. Why
are you here? This seems a bit excessive. You know,
we're just having a party, a good time. Look, you're
missing our opening show. Ariadne herself can't handle it.
Speaker 6: He points to like one of the actresses on the
on the stage, kind of like shivering. There is an
oppressive feeling in the room. Tell me where is it?
He says to Constantine. Harry, what do you do?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 7: Hell?
Speaker 9: Yeah? Like what's the are they in between me and where?
Speaker 7: I know?
Speaker 9: The celebrit to be.
Speaker 6: So they're they're in the sort of entrance way. They're
all standing by the door like they just came in.
They're starting to move in. You know, you would know
that the salbrit is to the right. You would have
to cross the room in front of them to get there. So, yeah,
it is a situation of it might be difficult for
you to get through, but you can try. I mean,
you are a kindred so you have abilities and powers
that you could utilize in the situation.
Speaker 9: I really hate to do this because I feel like
everyone's going me it okay, I'd like to obfuscate.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, you do that. You have to sit
there and.
Speaker 5: Bush Yeah, please roll for me.
Speaker 9: I'm not I'm not actually doing that, although I think
that would be a good ability for this character to have.
Like I have no sheet, I have no idea what
he can do. Yeah, I think if there's not an
easy way for me to get across, then I think
I'm just going to try to, like I'm all holster,
my gun, I put my knife away, and I'm just
going to try to like walk across, like you know,
it's all good man, I'm just walking across.
Speaker 6: Yeah, everhearst looks at you and it's like, all right,
such the place, and then his group of tremaire start
to move through. The move through the place, and unfortunately
a few more come in as well, so like some
are staying behind and then others are searching the place.
They're all extremely like, they're all dressed in dark clothing.
Speaker 5: They look.
Speaker 6: Very professional, like they've done this before, and they are
here for a reason.
Speaker 5: We'll go back to the courier. What are you doing?
Speaker 7: I'm trying in these back rooms, these hallways, these how
long are the always specifically.
Speaker 5: They're long hallways. Now, I would say that like each
hallway has some like you know, five doors or five rooms,
some are two rooms, some are you know, it's not
like a mansion, you know.
Speaker 7: But yeah, and they're all pretty identical looking.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you say, pretty identical looking. Yeah, you're really keeping
on brand with the hallway design.
Speaker 7: As I walk, I'm going to run my fingers on
the walls to see if I can feel like a
difference to differentiate this something that I've probably done in
the past. Make sure that you get lost in here forever,
as I would still need food and water.
Speaker 6: In your role for me, please, I should say they're
not like, okay, yeah, all right, so you know exactly
where you are going and you get there quickly.
Speaker 9: You huh, all right, so actually he rolled ninety nine
and then a one, but there's other roles in between there.
Speaker 5: So okay, you you actually also can get out into
the main ballroom.
Speaker 6: But with the crowd and everything that's happening, you can
see what's happening, but no one can really notice you
because you're moving as quickly and as delicately as possible.
Speaker 5: And you know this place. You know this place really well,
and you.
Speaker 6: Know even though they are kindred, they're busy, like they
have a person they're looking for and that is why
they're here. So you manage to find your way back
to the room, Constantine's room, and as you are going,
you see that Constantine is being held by Everharst, surrounded
by a few other Kindred, and he can do absolutely
nothing about it.
Speaker 7: Shit, I'm watching they're all teethed out and everything that
they're all.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and with this one, like even just looking at
the room.
Speaker 5: You can tell there is not gonna be much that
you can do.
Speaker 7: Where is Helio.
Speaker 6: He's still in Constantine's room?
Speaker 7: Is he near them? Him.
Speaker 6: They don't have him yet, but they're walking down that hallway.
They're canvassing the rooms.
Speaker 7: Oh mmmm, I can't say anything. They'll hear me with
their senses. I can't. I didn't have time, stupid or
a signal, didn't tell the kid to watch out for things.
Speaker 5: You are immortal. What are you even doing here.
Speaker 7: Career, I'm saving a life.
Speaker 5: Are you.
Speaker 7: Gonna damn well? Try and I go down the hallways.
I run down. I'm making noises, I'm yelling his name.
I'm opening and closing doors. If they don't open, I
kick them down.
Speaker 6: When you find the room that he's in, two of
the tramare already have them in hand, and they're dragging
him from the room.
Speaker 7: There's nothing I can do. I have no weapons. I
have a lighter that works sometimes three and a half cigarettes.
Speaker 6: Left, Felix. You watch Elio get pulled from the room.
There's nothing that you can do. They are terrifying in
their power, and every time you have been here you
have been benefit of that power and ways that have
saved you.
Speaker 3: But now.
Speaker 6: You see them as monstrous, the things that they can do.
You're frightened.
Speaker 3: Are you.
Speaker 8: Terrified?
Speaker 3: What did you do?
Speaker 5: When they took Alio from the.
Speaker 8: Room, I think, I I'm watching him. They're just dragging
him out right like on the ground, and I'm sure
he's yelling. I mean not, No, he's not. He's just
kind of yeah. Can I see his.
Speaker 5: Face, it's resigned.
Speaker 8: I think. I look down at my feet. I'm shaking.
It's just shaking. I look back up. Do I see
Harry in the doorway? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Uh, you would see Career in the doorway. I think,
go ahead, Harry, you made Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think both of you and the.
Speaker 8: Age thing, yeah, they're both okay. Good. I look at
them and then I think I I think. I jump
in the air and I click my heels and I
dive for the back of the legs of one of
the tramir like his knees, like I'm just throwing my
feeling good body like it hasn't felt with all, as
hard as I can into the back of his knees.
Speaker 5: In your role for me, please.
Speaker 8: Ninety five, ufika, he.
Speaker 5: Says, And he grabs you and throws you against the wall.
You feel.
Speaker 6: Parts of your body break and the pain comes back,
but you're not dead. He didn't care to kill you.
They continue bringing Ilio down the hallway.
Speaker 7: I would rush over to Felix, making sure he's okay.
Speaker 5: You hear a scream in the main room.
Speaker 7: H are you gonna are you gonna be okay?
Speaker 5: You're muted, my darling.
Speaker 8: I said, no, but yes, help Constantine, Help Constantine or
help the kid? Which one both? I'm just don't do nothing?
Speaker 7: What are we going to do? Look at you, you're
on the floor, your puddle.
Speaker 8: I feel better. It's a I half in a long time.
Speaker 7: And the kid did this.
Speaker 8: Yeah, my body was whole again. Minus and I.
Speaker 7: I prop him up against the wall. I'll come back
for you. There's no way you're going to know your
way out of this one.
Speaker 8: I have a ATF for you until you could pretend.
Speaker 7: Yeah, until I return. I walk towards was the screaming Ilio?
Speaker 6: No, it was someone from the crowd. As you get
closer to the main room, you hear random gasps and sobbing.
And when you walk out into the main ballroom, Alio
is on his knees in front of Everharst, being held
down by two of the Tramare, and Constantine is being
held by another group of Tremare, and he's fighting them,
but he's not strong enough everhearst raises his voice and smiles,
looking at everyone there. You have all done a wonderful
job returning this to us. It is a danger, no
matter what it would have you believe. He looks down
at Elio.
Speaker 5: For crimes committed and the sins of your plan. You
are sentenced to final death and one of the tremaur.
Speaker 6: Lower a sword, quickly separating his head from his body,
and he collapses, collapses to the ground, and you think
to yourself, Kindred, don't just die like that, don't they
just something has to happen. They don't just fall limp,
And in the horror of it all the screams and
cries from everyone in the room, Constantine is held back,
red tears flowing down his eyes, and he's never looked
so angry.
