WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.359 --> 00:00:08.119 This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me 2 00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:18.239 covering Dungeon Crawler Carl Book five, The Butcher's Masquerade, chapters 3 00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:26.600 nineteen through twenty four. In these chapters, we have the 4 00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:30.800 reunion with B. It doesn't go how I expected it 5 00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:37.280 to go at all at all, at all, not at all. 6 00:00:39.000 --> 00:01:01.280 Welcome to spoil Me, Welcome to the show everyone. I 7 00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:06.000 am Natasha. Thank you very much to Jackie for commissioning 8 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:11.840 this episode. So when I say it didn't go the 9 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:14.599 way I expected at all, I'm like, first of all, 10 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:20.560 I want to acknowledge, guys, that I that is actually 11 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.519 kind of a small portion of what happens in this 12 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:31.359 whole section, even though it was what I was particularly 13 00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:34.760 looking forward to coming into it. It's actually only like 14 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:46.040 the first third of the chapters. But I had really 15 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.079 overall kind of not been sure what to expect regarding 16 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:56.920 our friends seeing be again. And I'm just thinking back 17 00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:02.040 to like the openings of the book, right finding out 18 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:07.359 what B had done to Carl and the baggage that 19 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:11.960 he had surrounding that, and my feelings like regarding how 20 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:18.159 storytelling works. It was like I was sort of thinking 21 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:21.680 it was likely that Bee was alive because she had 22 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.800 been on that ship, and that the way that we 23 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.639 were getting so much information about her and who she was, 24 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.800 made it feel like Bee was probably still alive, and 25 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:35.439 that was read at the beginning, and then as the 26 00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:39.759 story continued, I think I eventually came around to thinking 27 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:46.080 that she was definitely dead. And I don't remember when 28 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.319 that transition happened, why it happened, if there was something 29 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:55.759 in particular that caused me to sort of crossover, but 30 00:02:56.159 --> 00:03:01.360 it just felt like there was. Maybe it's just that 31 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.280 we had gone so far into the story without there 32 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:10.439 being anything that involved the friends and family of Crawlers, 33 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:14.159 and then we begin to get the information about how 34 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.680 people's you know, dead family members are being brought into 35 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.319 the game, and YadA YadA, and so my suspicions began 36 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:27.080 to be roused. But I will say that even back 37 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.800 when I was thinking, well, maybe she was on that 38 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:35.080 ship and thus escaped being flattened the way that so 39 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:39.840 many people were, I didn't expect her to be in 40 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:47.400 such bad shape. When we see her on the surface 41 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:49.400 at the end of the last book, before she's even 42 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:54.120 brought back up, she is not okay, you know. And 43 00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:59.879 I was wondering about the reaction she'd have at sea 44 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:07.120 Carl and Dona again, and it just wasn't what I 45 00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:10.479 had thought we were going to get. And it's not 46 00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:17.800 even a criticism. Really, it's so lacking in drama in 47 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:25.079 one sense because they aren't permitted to really see each 48 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.680 other for a long moment. They aren't given any privacy, 49 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:35.000 and so the nature of how this all is forced 50 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.240 to play out is just not what I had been 51 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:42.920 picturing at all. So when we start chapter nineteen, we're 52 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:48.319 on stage, Odette does the intro and she's kind of 53 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:56.040 doing a much more somber, heavy gravity tone to the 54 00:04:56.079 --> 00:05:00.120 way that she is delivering all of her like you 55 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.160 guys aren't going to believe like who we found and 56 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:07.000 what's coming up, because you know, she's trying to play 57 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:11.199 it that she is respectful of the intensity of this 58 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.120 whole thing. And it's kind of funny because, like, I 59 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.560 actually think she is respectful of the intensity of the 60 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:23.160 whole thing, and it's just she has to do it 61 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:30.000 a certain way that is less sincere seeming for the audience, which, 62 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.600 like when you stop and think about it, is actually 63 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:38.000 fucked up, but still kind of makes sense. And she 64 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:43.480 is very very careful to like make it clear to everyone. 65 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:48.199 I warned them this was coming. I Am not springing 66 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:52.639 them on this as a surprise. They know, you know, 67 00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:59.079 and we get this moment that I was so disappointed. 68 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:02.920 She says, you guys are here because of your special connection. 69 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.560 We're going to get right to it. Watch this. The 70 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.560 screen appeared and it started showing something, but we couldn't 71 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.279 see it. Zev says, sorry, guys, the censor won't let 72 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.240 you see this. They're just showing scenes from the planet's 73 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.120 surface and talking a little about the rules regarding humans 74 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.319 who didn't go down into the dungeon. They're explaining the 75 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.480 details on something called the walk on List and the 76 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.079 illegal practice of bounty hunters seeking out and finding survivors 77 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.800 so they can sell them to the production. She says, 78 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.639 I'm being called back to the office, so I won't 79 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:34.800 be in the studio when you get out. I'll pinulater. 80 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.360 And so the way that they're playing this is that 81 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:46.519 the story is pirates who were doing this illegal bounty 82 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:52.639 hunting that Borran definitely doesn't approve of it all. They 83 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:59.879 brought her b to Borrent, and Borrent refused to use 84 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:05.240 her on the show because this is not allowed, and 85 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:10.600 they're really trying to make it like we would never gasp, 86 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:15.600 you know, like, which is the way it has to 87 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.319 be played in order for all of the things to 88 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:23.759 not completely implode and make them look like shit and 89 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:28.600 ruin Odette's plans and all of that. And because like 90 00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.720 the information had leaked already, as we had found out 91 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:38.759 in the previous section. So Miss Beatrice appears, but she 92 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.759 is a hologram and she doesn't understand that that's what 93 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.959 things are. So she tries to embrace Carl and touch 94 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:53.519 Donu and it doesn't work. Thin, long, straight hair, freckles, 95 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:57.800 poudy lips. She'd lost weight, a lot of weight. She 96 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.879 had a shell shocked and hollow look to her, and 97 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.879 she appeared as if she'd aged ten years since I'd 98 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.600 last seen her. She wore a glittering red gown with 99 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:12.360 an open back, and at one point she turns and 100 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:15.680 he can see it scoops so far down that it 101 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:20.040 exposes the top half of her ass. The poorly drawn 102 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:25.480 tattoo of Princess Chancolat Donut's grandmother seemed out of place 103 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:29.319 on her lower back. Her white skin was shockingly pale 104 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.240 as if she had never seen the sun. She wore 105 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:37.679 ridiculously tall, high heeled shoes, her ever present Aris anklet 106 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.600 hung around her ankle. I don't know if it's ever 107 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:45.600 been mentioned that she wore an ari's anklet. It feels 108 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:50.440 vaguely familiar for some reason. But uh, I just found 109 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:56.399 that detail very funny for some reason. It's one of 110 00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.759 those things that, like you would think I would get 111 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.639 a little bit more diffen siev about than I do. 112 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:06.679 Whenever women who put a ton of stock in horoscopes 113 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:13.279 get shit on as somebody who believes in horoscopes, I 114 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:17.360 would say about like seventy percent. You would think that 115 00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:21.080 I would get like more annoyed by it than I do. 116 00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:26.600 But I just understand why people think it's horseshit. I 117 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:30.279 really get it, And my belief in it isn't even 118 00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:34.000 really something that I feel like defending. It's just sort 119 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.600 of like, yeah, it's a fun thing, you know. I 120 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.519 don't really put stock in it. When I was younger, 121 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.200 I did a little bit more, and I was willing 122 00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:46.360 to like pick a wedding date based on the position 123 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:49.320 of the planets, because I could pick any date. Why 124 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:53.279 not just pick something that seems like a good fortune 125 00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:58.720 type of day, you know, But it's just not something 126 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.799 that I invent all that much energy. And in this way, 127 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:06.720 there are some people who go very hard on like 128 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:10.879 their astrological signs and getting tattoos related to it and 129 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.120 bringing it up a lot in conversation, and that's just 130 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:20.840 that's not me. So I feel distant enough from that 131 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.559 type of personality that it doesn't feel like, you know 132 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:33.879 what I'm saying. But anyway, so she turns and sees them, 133 00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:39.559 and her eyes get really huge, and she I didn't realize, 134 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:45.679 isn't prepared for Donut to speak, and Donut, for her part, 135 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:55.360 is determined, absolutely fixated on pretending that she doesn't give 136 00:10:55.399 --> 00:11:02.320 a shit that this bitch is here. I have to say, 137 00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:08.960 it was not an approach I was expecting. I actually 138 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:12.919 really admire it because I think it's just it works 139 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:19.159 so well on so many levels. But if you had 140 00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:23.000 asked me the way I expected Donut to play it 141 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:27.519 when this happened, finally, this wouldn't have been it at all, 142 00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:33.759 not at all. And I am sort of like, I'm 143 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:40.840 proud and impressed, you know. So she we get a 144 00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:44.720 flashback to the conversation before, and he says, you can 145 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.519 do this, don't give them the satisfaction. And she says, 146 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:50.080 I don't think I'm strong enough. She's just an ex 147 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.639 girlfriend to you, but she was everything to me, my 148 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:55.840 whole world. And he says, I know, and she says 149 00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.759 she was going to abandon me. Carl, I pretended not 150 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:02.039 to know, but I new. I think I even knew before. 151 00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:05.720 I pretended for so long, and I don't think I 152 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:12.639 can pretend anymore. And I should have paid more attention 153 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:17.399 to him saying don't give them the satisfaction, because that's 154 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:22.200 the crux of the way they approach this year. They decide, 155 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.320 what we're gonna do is go into this fucking interview 156 00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:31.879 and we are going to give them fuck all. We 157 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:39.159 are going to drain every drop of drama out of 158 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:45.279 the situation so that there is nothing exciting that can 159 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:50.840 be clipped and shared. There won't be an advantage to 160 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:58.440 having this like shattering moment at all, which truly is brilliant. 161 00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:06.559 And you guys, I cannot emphasize enough how I don't 162 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:17.399 think I could manage it. I am a very open person. 163 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:21.159 I share my thoughts and feelings on my face before 164 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:24.159 they even come out of my mouth. And I just 165 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.559 don't see it that I could pull this off when 166 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:32.000 I've been through everything that they've been through, and I'm 167 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:34.559 seeing her for the first time after thinking she was dead. 168 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:45.399 Everything about the the whole circumstances surrounding it would already 169 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:49.519 have me so off balance and lacking in control in 170 00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:53.240 certain respects. I think that I would give Adebt exactly 171 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:57.879 what she wanted, and I hate that, but like I really, 172 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:00.519 I just don't feel like I could. I don't know 173 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.080 if I knew that I could kind of do, because 174 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.480 what happens is Doughnut holds it in until after the 175 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:11.399 cameras are off. So it might be that if I 176 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.360 knew I could do that, I could manage it for now. 177 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:19.000 Maybe I could do it, But I think I would 178 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:23.720 be extremely tempted to just unleash on that person for 179 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:27.759 my own satisfaction in the moment, without considering that I'm 180 00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:33.399 feeding the fucking beast. You know so, And this is 181 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.120 like Bee says, Wait, they didn't tell me that she'd 182 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.600 be talking. Carl, what's going on? Why aren't you wearing pants? 183 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:47.120 And Donut says, I really wish we had a live audience, 184 00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:49.840 O Debte, I mean, really, a live audience would have 185 00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:53.000 loved that line. And that's like the one thing I 186 00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:57.480 think that they can maybe clip and use. And when 187 00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:00.279 Carl's like, I thought you said she'd been briefed, Oette 188 00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:06.519 says she has. Apparently it didn't take, and I believe her, 189 00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:10.840 you know, but I'm wondering about, like, why didn't it take? 190 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:14.200 Is that you can tell her something, but seeing it 191 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:16.639 in person is just a different thing. Is it that 192 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:19.360 it just fully didn't sink in because she was not 193 00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:25.120 with it, Like, I'm curious about why she seems so 194 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:32.360 taken off guard here. So she also and this is 195 00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:37.480 not intentional on her part, but b is also failing 196 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:40.639 to feed into any of the drama that Odette was 197 00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:45.320 hoping for, and basically is just giving a very basic 198 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:51.159 summary of what happened to her and is claiming to 199 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:58.399 not remember very much. And Odette circled back a few 200 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:02.080 times so that supposed black mark exchange and shootout, but 201 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.879 be claimed ignorance. It seemed to me that Odette was 202 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:09.440 trying to poke holes into her own lie. That was 203 00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:11.720 interesting because you know, Odett's had to do this whole 204 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.720 thing where born rescued you because they're decent. And I 205 00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:17.039 think this is her trying to make it clear to 206 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:20.879 the audience that this story doesn't add up and to 207 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:24.600 see through it. She's trying, I think, to tip everybody 208 00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:27.519 off that this doesn't make any fucking sense. But b 209 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:35.679 isn't really even cooperating on that front. And oh sorry, 210 00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:39.639 Saraphi was commenting a bunch of stuff. Something that I 211 00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:41.639 thought was why is she that big into the Greek 212 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:43.440 god of war and had to consider for a few 213 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:47.480 months before realizing it was horoscope thing that's funny. And 214 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.919 my guess is she's just so out of it between 215 00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:52.519 the drugs, the memory fuckeray to sell Born's story in 216 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:56.480 just general stress that she didn't register anything, and I 217 00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:01.679 remember them mentioning, Carl mentioning that she's clearly drugged. I 218 00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:05.920 didn't remember memory fuckery. They actually went in and fucked 219 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:10.039 with her memory. I thought that she was sort of 220 00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:14.160 just supporting this, like she says, my memory has holes 221 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:20.119 in it, but I didn't take it as literally like 222 00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:23.720 somebody's been messing with it. Donut says she gets like 223 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:30.640 that sometimes too many dirty Shirley's Oh my god, but 224 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.759 that would make sense as to why they would trust 225 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.920 her in an interview, because otherwise, how do you control 226 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:40.680 her just blurting out what actually happen in front of everybody, 227 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:44.559 So messing with her memory would that would make much 228 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.839 more sense than them just trusting her to uphold the lie, 229 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:53.759 especially considering that she's clearly like not really okay, So 230 00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:58.400 even if she agreed and fully intended to support the lie, 231 00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:07.160 she would not be reliable, you know. So finally, Odette's 232 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:09.720 wrapping this up and says, Princess, is there anything you'd 233 00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:12.400 like to say? And Donut just says, have a good life, 234 00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:16.640 And then she gets as close as she gets live 235 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:20.359 and says, also, if you ever get another cat, make 236 00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:22.880 sure you only purchase the wet food for her, and 237 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:25.880 don't conspire to sell her once she gets a little older. 238 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:28.839 Don't pretend to love her when you don't. Don't make 239 00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:31.160 her feel special when you don't really feel that way 240 00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:35.559 about her, That is all. And she delivers this very 241 00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:40.680 like evenly and in control, and then Odette says, what 242 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:47.279 about you, Carl, And he just says got nothing, which, honestly, 243 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:55.880 when it comes to Carl and what his situation is like, 244 00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.559 this is kind of what I expected. He broke up 245 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:04.480 with her with like little ceremony once he saw this 246 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.839 this photo, knew that she was fucking around. He was 247 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.039 clearly completely unaware of her cheating on him to the 248 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.920 level that she was. But this breakup that happened once 249 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.759 he realized there was no drama to it, you know, 250 00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:21.640 he was just like, yeah, all right, we're done. So 251 00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:23.960 it makes sense to me that when he comes face 252 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:25.720 to face with her, he's not going to fucking like 253 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:28.920 make it a thing. You know, even were they to 254 00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:32.200 meet face to face with none of the other whole 255 00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:36.880 apocalyptic shit happening, he would not do that so on 256 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.279 screen in front of everybody. Extra, No, this definitely was 257 00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:49.960 in character for me. So Odette asked additional leading question questions, 258 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:54.119 trying to coax info out of all three of us, 259 00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:58.119 and Bee was going to burst into tears any moment. 260 00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:00.880 Odette could sense it the host's side and said goodbye 261 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:04.519 to us. The lights all turned on. Odette pulled off 262 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:07.799 her bug helmet. She glared at me angrily for a 263 00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:13.960 second before breaking into a smile. Well played, Carl, She said, 264 00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.039 not quite the explosive interview I hoped for? Was it 265 00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.279 Plus the timing is terrible, she sighed, But this was 266 00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:24.720 always destined to be messy. At least we scooped that 267 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:27.720 Naga asshole. If he comes to you, make sure to 268 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:31.440 tell him I said, better luck next time. And the 269 00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:35.000 timing being terrible, we find out later on why everybody 270 00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:41.200 keeps saying that. So, if it hadn't been for Odette 271 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:43.519 removing her helmet, I think there would have been a 272 00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:45.960 part of me that was suspicious. When Donut let's loose 273 00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:48.839 here that they are being recorded after all, it's that 274 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:51.640 she has started to get out of costume that reassured me. 275 00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:59.440 And this is when Donut turns to be and says 276 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:07.440 you vile, disgusting bitch, and b is truly shocked, and 277 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:10.079 Dona says, you danced with me, you sang to me, 278 00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:12.960 you made me feel loved, I didn't do anything wrong, 279 00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:16.599 and you were going to give me away, and b 280 00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:22.640 just says what again, which I'll admit is very unsatisfying. 281 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:26.119 There isn't a sensation of her like getting it, because 282 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.759 she's so stunned and startled about everything that it's just 283 00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:34.279 like not sinking in, which makes sense on the one hand, 284 00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:37.119 because this is a very crazy situation. Anne, she's drugged, 285 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.519 but I wanted to feel like she was hit by it, 286 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.000 and you don't get that in this scene, really, and 287 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:47.920 that's not what it's about. It's about Donat getting to 288 00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:50.000 say what she needs to say. It's not about b 289 00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:53.759 I just personally wanted to see that, you know. But 290 00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:58.400 I also know that in life that's frequently how it happens. 291 00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:01.559 You have to be satisfied with getting your opportunity to 292 00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:03.799 make your stand and say what you're gonna say, and 293 00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:07.119 then you have to let it go, and you often 294 00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:10.200 either don't get the reaction you were hoping, or you 295 00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:14.160 don't get to see their reaction at all, or the 296 00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:20.400 reaction that they have still feels inadequate. Even if it's 297 00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:22.960 like you got your point across and they heard you, 298 00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:28.480 they'll often still not seem like to really take responsibility 299 00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:33.079 or hear you. You know, it's just often not very 300 00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:37.440 satisfying to confront assholes because they are such assholes that 301 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:42.240 they don't hear anything you're telling them. That's what makes 302 00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:45.359 them a person that you're having issues with to begin with. 303 00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:51.160 So I didn't do anything wrong. You were the only 304 00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:53.440 person I ever knew I was born and you were there. 305 00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:56.119 I loved you. You were my world, my whole world. 306 00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:58.319 I know you had a bunch of cats growing up, 307 00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:00.359 and maybe I was just nothing to you other than 308 00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:02.200 a way to win more ribbons than your mother. But 309 00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:04.599 you were the only human I ever knew, and to me, 310 00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:07.559 you were everything. And I was so stupid because I 311 00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:10.799 thought since I loved you, that meant you loved me. 312 00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:16.000 Odette muttered something under her breath, which is definitely that. 313 00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:19.559 Oh sure, now she says it, I have to imagine. 314 00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:22.880 And you were just awful to Carl and even though 315 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:25.640 he's big and dumb, he didn't deserve that. And this 316 00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:27.720 was I was gratified, because you guys know that I 317 00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:29.400 was sort of like, what the fuck donut with her 318 00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:33.640 constantly like throwing that shit in his face. He's not perfect. 319 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:36.000 I know he snores and has all these disgusting habits 320 00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:37.759 and smelly friends, but what you did to him is 321 00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:40.480 not okay. I know I make fun of him sometimes 322 00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:43.839 I can't help it. I'm a cat, That's what I do. Plus, 323 00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:46.079 I mean, let's be honest here, he walks right into 324 00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:49.079 it most of the time. But you actually betrayed him. 325 00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:51.079 We don't do that to people we love. And you 326 00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:53.839 know what, Miss Beatrice, you don't deserve how sad I 327 00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:56.960 feel right now. I still love you, I still miss you, 328 00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:59.759 and I hate myself for it. You don't deserve to 329 00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:02.400 get to explain your side of the story. You lost 330 00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:04.960 that chance. But I'm glad you escaped because if the 331 00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:06.599 world ends and none of us survived except you, I 332 00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:08.599 think that's an even more fitting fate because you're gonna 333 00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:11.039 be all alone, and maybe then you'll finally understand how 334 00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:14.359 you made me and Carl feel. You're not my person anymore. 335 00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:21.599 Carl is He's always been, and I really liked that 336 00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:26.720 he's always been, because like the little flashback that we 337 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:31.920 had gotten about him arguing with B about giving Donut away, 338 00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:34.759 he was the one being like, you can't fucking do that, 339 00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:40.599 are you serious, and so Donut saying to Carl, like, B, 340 00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:44.400 but she was my person. There was a big part 341 00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.000 of me that sort of was like, I don't think 342 00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:52.599 she was, and now Donut is seeing, yeah, no, she wasn't, 343 00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:57.839 and that sucks. It just totally sucks. I hated this 344 00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:04.200 so much. And B just says to Carl, she doesn't 345 00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:08.200 even respond at all to Donut, which is so insulting. 346 00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:13.799 She just says Carl, and he interrupts, I'm glad you're okay. Truly, 347 00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:17.519 I wouldn't wish our fate on anybody, not even you. 348 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:20.839 But what we're dealing with right now is so much 349 00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:26.039 more important, so much bigger than this drama bullshit. It's 350 00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:28.480 stupid that it was even a thing. I'm glad it's 351 00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:31.200 finally over. I think Donut said everything that needs to 352 00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:36.799 be said. We're done, finally, goodbye, Beatrice. I looked at Odette, 353 00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:40.079 get her out of here, and just like that, she 354 00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:45.160 was gone. I am really curious because, you know, b 355 00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:50.200 having this kind of breakdown on the surface felt very 356 00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:54.599 much linked to like deep regret over like cheating on 357 00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:59.200 Carl and getting caught, and then Donut being gone. All 358 00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:03.240 of it felt like she only just started to begin 359 00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:07.079 to value both of them in any way because everything 360 00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:12.680 was ripped from her. And I'm wondering if having this 361 00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:20.559 moment of real closure, because it is, does anything to 362 00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:26.480 change her state of mind regarding the two of them. 363 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:29.519 I will say the whole thing with Gravy Boat, I 364 00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:32.799 am super not looking forward to finding out what's going 365 00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:36.119 on there. I'm dreading that part. We'll have to see 366 00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:44.519 where that fucking goes. And they both like feel better 367 00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:48.440 after this, but you know, Odette didn't get what she wanted. 368 00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:52.119 It's very funny. And then Donut says, Odette and zeb 369 00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:55.920 are right. The timing is awful. And this was so 370 00:26:56.400 --> 00:27:00.359 delightful because it turns out Donut knows more than Horl 371 00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:05.400 about some things, and he never even suspected, and neither 372 00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:08.359 did I. I knew that her and Zev were in communication, 373 00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:13.279 but I figured they were in communication in a very 374 00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:16.880 like social comforting each other, being support to each other 375 00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:20.799 kind of way. It never entered my mind that the 376 00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:26.079 two of them were doing something. You know, as she says, 377 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:31.400 vive la revolution. It just never occurred to me that 378 00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:36.319 Zev would risk it or that Doughnut would be interested 379 00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:43.200 on that level. And I am extremely thrilled for this 380 00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:48.839 development is super super fun. So they get an ADMIN 381 00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:53.720 message due to a system regency change, a conflict of 382 00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:55.880 interest has a risen, resulting in one of your sponsors 383 00:27:55.880 --> 00:28:00.039 being removed effective immediately the valte he does get to 384 00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:03.440 keep everything they gave him for prizes, but they are 385 00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:09.640 no longer his sponsor. And then Planet wide message. The 386 00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:14.039 Born Corporation, not to be confused with the Borrant System Government, 387 00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:17.160 has been declared an independent non governmental entity by a 388 00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:22.319 syndicate court. As a result, a previously filed court ruling 389 00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:26.079 was automatically executed, granting the Valte Corporation fifty one percent 390 00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:30.079 ownership of the Borran Corporation. The Boring Corporation remains in 391 00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:32.359 charge of this crawl, and as far as most of 392 00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:35.119 you are concerned, nothing will change. This is nothing more 393 00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:38.640 than a courtesy notice. All previous legal contracts will be honored, 394 00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:42.440 including indentured contracts. However, the Borrant System Government no longer 395 00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:45.799 has any stake in either the planet, the resources, or 396 00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:49.359 the production of Dungeon Crawler World Earth and regency has 397 00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:52.039 been granted solely to the Borring Corporation and their new 398 00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:55.160 principal owners, the Valte. If you have any questions about 399 00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:58.319 how that might affect debts or obligations, legal counsel is 400 00:28:58.359 --> 00:29:01.319 available free of charge. Have a great day, and free 401 00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:08.400
