00:00:02,359 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me

2
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:17,440
covering Dungeon Crawler Carl book seven, This Inevitable ruin chapters

3
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:24,719
eighty two, eighty three, eighty four, and eighty five. In

4
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:29,679
these chapters, I'm still kind of thinking that Lenaw might

5
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:32,520
be a threat. I haven't let go of that, okay,

6
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,200
but I will say that I'm grateful that we aren't

7
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,320
dealing with that in these chapters. Instead, We've got seven

8
00:00:39,359 --> 00:00:49,960
other emergencies instead, So you know, yay. Welcome to spoil Me.

9
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,840
Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you

10
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:17,120
very much to Michael for commissioning this episode. Michael is

11
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,159
here in the chat being very patient about the fact

12
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:25,959
that my livestream was not working initially. Yeah, so guys,

13
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:29,920
next episode, finale of this book, and then I go

14
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:37,400
into parade of horribles. I am very excited. I truly

15
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,799
everything with how these stories have progressed has been so

16
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,120
full of surprises. I'm not even going to hazard a

17
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,560
guess as to how this book ends. I'm not going

18
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,359
to hazard a guess as to what the next floor

19
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:55,079
is like, or what anything is going to be. I

20
00:01:55,159 --> 00:02:02,319
think Matt Denneman sits down and puts a friggin In

21
00:02:02,359 --> 00:02:04,920
my imagination, he's got tons of index cards with all

22
00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:08,719
of the possible things that could happen next based on

23
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:14,520
what is likeliest in the text already, and goes one

24
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,520
by one through these index cards and decides to try

25
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:24,800
and write the opposite of that as close as he can,

26
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,919
just to fuck with us, and then like puts them

27
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,280
in a hat and shakes them and picks it out.

28
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,080
Because guys, did any of y'all see that we were

29
00:02:34,199 --> 00:02:37,280
just gonna be skipping a floor back when it was seven?

30
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,240
Because I sure didn't. And there's a part of me

31
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:42,639
that's sort of wondering if we're doing that again, are we?

32
00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:45,680
You know what I mean? Like we're saying goodbye to

33
00:02:45,759 --> 00:02:50,919
Katcha for a little while otherwise, which possible, certainly, I

34
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,719
don't know. But there's just a lot of there's a

35
00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:58,599
lot of reasons to not have everything follow the ordinary plan,

36
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:03,919
and yet you could and you could still find other

37
00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:07,319
ways to have our people show up or the AI

38
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,120
decide to do something different, like because everything is so

39
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,719
nonstandard with this particular crawl, it just there's a sense

40
00:03:16,759 --> 00:03:19,919
of like there's definitely rules of a kind, but everything

41
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,280
is sort of up for grabs inasmuch as it can

42
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,840
be like if you can come up with the right

43
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,919
double speak to sort of make it seem valid, and

44
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,919
like this loophole is totally legit, the AI is gonna

45
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,240
at least consider it, you know. So as I'm getting

46
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,039
to the end of this book, I just keep trying

47
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:47,039
to think, like, what, what's happening? What's happening? And kotscha.

48
00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:51,879
I mean, I shouldn't even like be theorizing about her

49
00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:55,280
getting to that other what is it? Floor fourteen? I

50
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,560
think the flower takes her too, because she's still in

51
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,680
that coma, So she's in this weird in between where

52
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,759
we don't know if she's actually even going to survive,

53
00:04:07,919 --> 00:04:13,840
and it's possible she won't. I genuinely, really, guys, I

54
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:19,160
genuinely don't know how Matt Dinneman is going to handle

55
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:26,079
the concept of sacrificing characters, because to a degree, I

56
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:32,360
think that you can really make things rough without actually

57
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,560
killing people, and that's what he's kind of perfecting, it seems,

58
00:04:37,639 --> 00:04:41,399
you know, with like Louise's situation. So there's a part

59
00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:44,079
of me that keeps being like, I don't think so

60
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,639
and so is going to be killed. But then I'm like, yeah,

61
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,240
but part of what the story is about is that, like,

62
00:04:49,959 --> 00:04:55,279
there's worse things than dying. There's just being so fundamentally changed,

63
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,240
and not that that's a hopeless thing either, and you

64
00:04:57,319 --> 00:04:59,639
can come back from it, but still it is what

65
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:05,800
it is for the time being. So floor twelve, Sis

66
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,360
Seraphim is where Katcia is going. Okay, not quite as

67
00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:11,319
far away as I thought. We're on what floor nine?

68
00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:17,000
Now right? I really lose track? Okay, all right, so

69
00:05:17,079 --> 00:05:19,319
let me let me get started here so that I

70
00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:23,279
don't waste all of my freaking time. Y'all. It has

71
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,519
been it's been an adventure just getting this live started.

72
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,519
So let's just focus here, Natasha, let's fucking do it. So.

73
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,879
Chapter eighty two starts with Prepotente showing up again and

74
00:05:35,079 --> 00:05:40,759
offering a pet carrier to Dong because he's got gronk

75
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,839
that he's been writing, and when he gives it to Dong,

76
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,680
Dong is like, yeah, I know, there's no such thing

77
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:51,319
as something being free. But and then he stops as

78
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,639
he's like talking to the freaking spirit of this miser

79
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,120
in his sock, and he's like, yeah, you're right. Okay,

80
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,519
you're right. And I'm really concerned about this because, like

81
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,560
I feel that he is being radicalized slowly, like we're

82
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,800
going to see him suddenly turn a corner and become

83
00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:11,879
like a crypto bro. And I cannot tell you all

84
00:06:11,959 --> 00:06:15,879
how much I do not want that. Also, the whole like, oh,

85
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:19,800
nothing is free. I would love for that miser to

86
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,319
find out that's not true. That sometimes yet there is

87
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,000
so much such a thing as free, because people just

88
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,079
sometimes want to give a shit about each other. And

89
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,519
I don't, if you know what I mean. I think

90
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,040
that there are just are people out there that truly

91
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,279
do not understand the concept of doing something without the

92
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:41,079
expectation of something in return. And this is not to

93
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,959
say that like I'm not going to expect that. Hey,

94
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,600
if I'm nice to you and I lend you something,

95
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,279
not even money, but just something, when you're in a

96
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:55,519
state and some time passes and then I wind up

97
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,360
in a state and I need something that you could

98
00:06:58,399 --> 00:07:01,800
loan me, I won't that part of me won't be like,

99
00:07:02,399 --> 00:07:05,920
well I help them, maybe they'll help me. But it

100
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,040
by no means feels like actually transactional on my part.

101
00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:11,600
But I do know that there are folks out there

102
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:17,439
who really really keep score and in relationships that are

103
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,199
romantic as well, which, let me tell you, can really

104
00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:23,759
lead to some resentments because if both parties are not

105
00:07:23,959 --> 00:07:27,600
behaving with that same metric in mind, it leads to

106
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,680
one party feeling like the tally is way off and

107
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,560
the other not knowing there's a tally at all and

108
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:42,279
been there. So sorry, Michael says, or he's going to

109
00:07:42,279 --> 00:07:44,439
start asking people, Hey, are you guys ready to become

110
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,480
your own bosses? Yeah, he's gonna try to start rev

111
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,199
up again. Jeff says, a lot of selfish people see

112
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,399
us as suckers, as if our morals were just quirks

113
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,439
or bad habits that get in the way of getting

114
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,759
it over on people. Yeah, and that's that's exactly it.

115
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,639
That's so sad. It's just like you really believe it too.

116
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,160
I can tell you believe it, you know. Sarah fin says,

117
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:08,680
the sock needs to meet the spirits of krawl. Miss

118
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:15,120
past President in future, Cindy's here, Cindy, good news to you.

119
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,879
I started ten minutes late because my camera wouldn't connect,

120
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:24,720
so you didn't miss almost anything. So this is when

121
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:30,519
Lena shows up and look, I already said she doesn't

122
00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:34,879
attack our friends in these chapters. That doesn't mean I

123
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,480
have dropped my guard. Okay. Ellie looks up says, how

124
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,200
do you feeling? Hun, She had a health bar over

125
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,159
her that was about three quarters full. She did not

126
00:08:47,399 --> 00:08:53,240
answer Ellie. Good talk. Ellie said, yeah, I feel that

127
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:58,279
Lena is just biding her time. I really want to

128
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:05,720
believe that her brother instilled in her a sense of like, please,

129
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,399
don't everybody's doing the best they can. Don't blame people.

130
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,120
But the fact that she like said to Donut that

131
00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:16,639
it's her fault, I'm really worried. And also I'm kind

132
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:19,960
of like wondering if he appeared to Carl and so

133
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,600
thank you for giving me that time. Did he appear

134
00:09:23,639 --> 00:09:31,120
to her? And is it possible that, like I guys,

135
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,879
I have so many Lena is one of those characters

136
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:37,039
that I actually want to know the most about, simply

137
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,320
because she has been so close lipped and is such

138
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:47,480
a dramatic player. The spells that she has chosen, well,

139
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:49,320
I say chosen, You don't choose your spells. But the

140
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,960
race she chose is like very specific. There just feels

141
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:00,039
like a story that I really want to know. I

142
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,720
feel like it would be kind of fun if we

143
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,159
got a little side story about everybody in the before times,

144
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,519
you know, like if Matt started a Patreon with bonus

145
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:16,159
material like some writers do. So this is when Biggs,

146
00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:19,600
one of the slug Alos, is looking up and is

147
00:10:19,639 --> 00:10:23,159
growling at her, and Carl says, she's not a bad guy.

148
00:10:23,639 --> 00:10:26,960
Her brother just died, she's going through shit, and Biggs

149
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,639
is like, uh, she is a bad guy. She tied

150
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,720
a potion to Sneaky Tyler See and ordered him to

151
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,720
run right into the god. He blew up the moment

152
00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:40,519
he touched the thing. That's what I heard. It was

153
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,919
a bitch ass move. I don't like her, and this

154
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,639
is one of the things that feels like it does

155
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,559
sort of set her apart in a way. Is like,

156
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:55,919
it's not as if the slugglos are seen as on

157
00:10:56,039 --> 00:10:59,039
par with crawlers in terms of the value of their lives.

158
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,399
I wouldn't say that, because they're a different things than

159
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:07,200
even the regular NPCs, you know, but I definitely don't

160
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,960
think that Karl would be willing to sacrifice one of

161
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,720
them like that. It's like the whole reason that we've

162
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,159
got justice light is that working with them and being

163
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,960
excited about it, at least initially was simply they're willing

164
00:11:23,039 --> 00:11:27,240
to risk their lives, not I don't feel so bad

165
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,840
if they die. It's their choice that they are cool

166
00:11:30,879 --> 00:11:34,799
with risking their lives. So Lena doing this is just

167
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,639
a real indicator of the fact that she really doesn't

168
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,440
see the NPCs as people the same way, and it's

169
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:46,519
just a different She would be somebody willing to sacrifice them,

170
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,519
no problem. I just think that probably there's a thin

171
00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:56,360
line between crawlers and NPCs and crawlers who are my

172
00:11:56,519 --> 00:12:04,080
people or not my people? You know? So let's see

173
00:12:04,799 --> 00:12:10,879
Prepotente says that there are. It's some bad news for

174
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,159
her because there are eighteen people that she marked and

175
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:20,519
three survived long enough to get away, and unfortunately they

176
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,759
got away in the most final way, which is they

177
00:12:24,759 --> 00:12:28,759
are on the eighteenth floor now, so she isn't going

178
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,360
to be able to regenerate her health until they're dead,

179
00:12:32,759 --> 00:12:35,960
which I don't know how we pull this off. Now. Look,

180
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,360
part of me is horrified on her behalf, and another

181
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,360
part of me, who is very very worried about her,

182
00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:48,919
is low key relieved because now potentially if she did

183
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:55,080
decide to come at our friends, we have a reasonable

184
00:12:55,159 --> 00:12:58,600
means of defeating her. It's reasonable, is gott an asterisk

185
00:12:58,639 --> 00:13:05,600
after it? Because as Prepotente says, she has a health

186
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:11,519
bar that is actually several times all of ours combined.

187
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,600
I just really want to say that again, several times

188
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:27,639
that of all of us combined. Okay, when I say reasonable,

189
00:13:27,759 --> 00:13:30,759
I mean that it is possible to wear her down

190
00:13:31,799 --> 00:13:36,919
because she has this effect. But by no means is

191
00:13:36,919 --> 00:13:41,320
it going to be like an easy thing, and she

192
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,120
would the whole conflict would have to be like ideally

193
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,879
after she had continued taking some other damage. She is

194
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,159
no dummy, and if she had been thinking I'm going

195
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,799
to try and take out Carl and Donut, I think

196
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,240
this would prevent her either from doing it because she

197
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,679
wants to like wait until her health repair is fully back,

198
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,519
or she would want to try and get them as

199
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,120
quick as she could because she is aware that as

200
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,039
much as they're way lower level than her, they're not

201
00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:20,679
people to fuck with. So if she's gonna come, she

202
00:14:20,799 --> 00:14:27,000
better come correct as they say, so, yeah, best not miss,

203
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:33,720
we'll see. I just really I have my eye on her, guys,

204
00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:40,000
and my concern is it's going to be a long wait.

205
00:14:40,879 --> 00:14:45,519
If that is so, I don't know that there's ever

206
00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:49,320
gonna be a point where I stop suspecting that she

207
00:14:49,399 --> 00:14:52,159
wants to kill them. I don't know what she could

208
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,639
possibly do other than basically what Prepotentie does with Carl,

209
00:14:56,679 --> 00:14:59,399
which is to say, oh, I had intended to kill you,

210
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,679
but actually now I'm cool. And it could be that

211
00:15:03,879 --> 00:15:06,200
she would be willing to lie and say that to

212
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,480
pretend things are cool, to get your guard down, where

213
00:15:08,519 --> 00:15:12,200
I don't think Prepetente would ever do that. But uh,

214
00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:14,480
Lena seems kind of direct, and I don't feel like

215
00:15:14,519 --> 00:15:17,759
she would say it if she didn't mean it. So hmm.

216
00:15:18,679 --> 00:15:22,440
All this to say she's scary and I don't like her.

217
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:28,559
So this ends this little section. Guys. It is so

218
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,120
devastating with fucking Tippett coming up to Carl and saying,

219
00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:35,679
who the fuck are you and where the hell are

220
00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:39,759
we and it turns out that that disassemble fucked his

221
00:15:40,039 --> 00:15:43,799
hardware up that they installed to fix his brain that

222
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,480
had all that damage from the fights. You guys, this

223
00:15:47,639 --> 00:15:52,519
is so sad and like in a similar fashion to Louis.

224
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,240
Even if they are able to get things situated for

225
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:02,279
him again in here outside of the dungeons, a different story,

226
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:09,320
and there's just it would cost him so much money. Now,

227
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,159
I don't know where Rosetta transferred all of that money

228
00:16:13,399 --> 00:16:19,159
that she stole from King what's his face, but maybe

229
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,679
they have it. I don't. I don't like, there's no

230
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,440
point in even thinking about what happens after the dungeon.

231
00:16:25,679 --> 00:16:30,679
I feel like that's I just don't know that that's

232
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:40,399
going to be even relevant. So we have Rosetta explaining

233
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,879
to them the situation and then taking tip it aside

234
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:52,039
to tell him about himself basically. And there's a moment

235
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,440
here where we get like a kind of hint of

236
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,360
something where Milk is floating in front of a bunch

237
00:16:58,399 --> 00:17:03,759
of crawlers and they are gathering around her, and Carl

238
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,960
is sort of like, what's going on over there? And

239
00:17:06,039 --> 00:17:08,359
later on we find out what's going on over there

240
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,599
and we get another really touching moment and it is fantastic.

241
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:20,640
So now we have the birth scene Kiwi's giving birth

242
00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:28,799
and it's a oh guys, a real weird situation. We've

243
00:17:28,839 --> 00:17:33,279
got this like birth that's overlaid with a conversation with

244
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:40,599
Juice Box that. Oh man, So I'm gonna deal with

245
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:45,799
juice Box first, because it turns out she talks about

246
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,680
what caused her to fall in love with Louis, and

247
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,720
she took on a shape that allows her, as she

248
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,920
puts it, to see into the hearts of men. I

249
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,839
wasn't expecting it, but he is so genuine, so pure,

250
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,160
and I have never seen anything like it. When you

251
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,680
see someone like that, and it's so free of the

252
00:18:09,799 --> 00:18:13,200
raw of cynicism, so free of corruption, It's like the

253
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,559
most alluring, beautiful thing in the world. I have seen

254
00:18:16,759 --> 00:18:19,960
so much, and I've never had anyone like him, someone

255
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,480
who clings so hard to every drop of happiness he

256
00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:27,039
can find, even when there is so little. He is

257
00:18:27,079 --> 00:18:30,039
to me like doughnut is to you. The thought of

258
00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:34,640
seeing him again kept me from truly falling into the darkness.

259
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,599
And that is just such a sweet thing. I love

260
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:46,119
this so much, even when it's all devastating and horrible.

261
00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:50,720
So she goes on to say that she wished that

262
00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:53,920
she didn't take that hunter Wraith form to save him.

263
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,319
It was worth it, but she still kind of wishes

264
00:18:57,559 --> 00:19:00,599
that she hadn't, And this is when she brings up

265
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,359
the concept of the inevitable ruin, and Carl says, I

266
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,000
knew that phrase. I'd never read it, and I didn't

267
00:19:08,039 --> 00:19:10,720
know where I'd heard it from, but I knew it.

268
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,319
It didn't appear anywhere in the cookbook that I could remember,

269
00:19:13,799 --> 00:19:16,799
but I knew i'd have to have heard it somewhere

270
00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:21,640
because the idea was burned into my bones. And then

271
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:26,200
we have italicized do you remember the circus? Which you

272
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,880
know is the thing that his mother said when she

273
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:31,920
was like contemplating jumping off the fucking edge of the

274
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:38,720
Grand Canyon. And I, you know, obviously we have our

275
00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:41,160
like flashbacks that we get to see of these different

276
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,759
characters that Carl doesn't get to see. So I know

277
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:50,200
that I have information regarding this that he doesn't. But

278
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:55,400
I think it's interesting that he has this idea of

279
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,079
what it is, but it's coming from a source that

280
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,920
he can't understand. And the do you remember the circus

281
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,960
thing with his mother being what because it's like he says,

282
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,359
I've heard of the concept. It's the moment you recognize

283
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,559
something is a lost cause and anything you do past

284
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,880
that point doesn't matter because you can't change the outcome.

285
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,279
And I think that's meant to be that, Like when

286
00:20:21,319 --> 00:20:26,759
his mother is standing on the edge, it's clear like

287
00:20:26,839 --> 00:20:30,920
even if she doesn't do it now it's happening, she's

288
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,480
definitely going to be taking her own life. You know,

289
00:20:36,039 --> 00:20:39,240
I I don't know. It's just it's a it's a

290
00:20:39,279 --> 00:20:42,279
weird moment that makes me almost wonder is it just

291
00:20:42,319 --> 00:20:45,119
his life experience that's making him feel like he knows

292
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,720
what this means? Or is there some other source, because

293
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,720
we've got shit in his brain at this point, we've

294
00:20:52,759 --> 00:21:00,559
got monsters locked in his chest, Like, who knows? So

295
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,960
what this? She says. It's also a spell, a curse

296
00:21:06,039 --> 00:21:08,400
inflicted upon the mind of the Hunter Wraith, which is

297
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,640
why they are so bitter. When they possess someone. It

298
00:21:11,759 --> 00:21:15,440
ruins something pure. It doesn't change whatever it is. It

299
00:21:15,519 --> 00:21:18,759
just tells you the truth. It's difficult to explain, and

300
00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:21,920
it manifests itself in different ways. But for me, when

301
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,079
I had Louis possessed in order to save him, the

302
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,000
curse showed me the truth, and the truth is that

303
00:21:27,079 --> 00:21:30,920
he is terrified of me. The truth is he is

304
00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:33,000
not in love with me. He thinks he has a

305
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:36,279
special ability that causes NPCs to fall in love with

306
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,440
him a special ability that he was asked about when

307
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,920
he was interviewed earlier. Today, it doesn't matter that it's

308
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,039
not true. He doesn't trust what I feel and he

309
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:57,920
never will. And this is really interesting to me. So

310
00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:01,079
I don't know how many pe people that like found

311
00:22:01,079 --> 00:22:07,880
this distracting and not in a bad way. But she says,

312
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,839
it doesn't matter that it's not true. He thinks he

313
00:22:13,039 --> 00:22:17,640
has this ability. Why does he think that? Why are

314
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:24,480
they asking him about it if it's not real? Is

315
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,839
she's saying it doesn't matter that it's not true. I

316
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,519
didn't fall in love with him because of his ability,

317
00:22:32,279 --> 00:22:34,880
because like what I initially took from this was he

318
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,319
doesn't have that ability at all. He thinks he does,

319
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,319
and there is somebody who interviewed him who kind of

320
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:50,960
fed into this idea that he does, but he doesn't.

321
00:22:51,759 --> 00:22:57,960
And I'm really like wondering if holy shit, I'm sorry, guys,

322
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,079
I just like touched the chat and it just scroll

323
00:23:00,319 --> 00:23:03,839
and there are so many fucking chat I just completely

324
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:10,599
missed all these. Sorry, it just wasn't updating. But I

325
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:16,400
am wondering if somebody is like, is putting this in

326
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,720
his head in an attempt to sabotage him. I don't

327
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,319
know what the goal would be, if it's like to

328
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,400
just keep the Crawlers and the NPCs from uniting, and

329
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,000
that being like the source, you know, Louie and juice

330
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,559
Box getting married seeming like such a thing. They feel like, Oh,

331
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,400
as long as I like poison, that it won't really

332
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:48,519
ever happen. Jeff says, the protagonist and among others, has

333
00:23:48,599 --> 00:23:52,200
this dilemma. Don't know that one. Cindy says, because juice

334
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,480
Box loves him, Samantha is vaguely obsessed, and I think

335
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,599
there's at least one more NBC who is into him,

336
00:23:58,279 --> 00:24:05,079
although I could be wrong and let's see. Seraphim says,

337
00:24:05,599 --> 00:24:07,480
I think this was them kind of messing with him

338
00:24:07,519 --> 00:24:09,680
or trying to find a reason why some NPC would

339
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,519
end up like this, since clearly they aren't real people.

340
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,480
Miss t says, maybe he got the inkling that the

341
00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:18,200
special ability is the only way she's in love with him.

342
00:24:18,559 --> 00:24:21,359
Maybe he spoke that thought one time and the interviewer

343
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:26,359
got the idea from that. Maybe I just like there's

344
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,359
something about the fact that he thinks this and that

345
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,680
they're asking him, and it doesn't seem like there's a

346
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,200
basis that makes me feel like somebody is trying to

347
00:24:36,319 --> 00:24:42,559
fuck things up with them, and I, I don't know,

348
00:24:42,759 --> 00:24:51,880
I feel like the idea of like destroying something pure

349
00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:54,640
from the Hunter Wraith. I don't know if that's something

350
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:59,559
that just occurs for Juice Box. If this also occurred,

351
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,400
like when it comes to Louis and her possessing him,

352
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:09,559
did that ruin something for him? Would it be the

353
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,119
same kind of thing, Like what if he found out

354
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,480
that she really was in love with him and that

355
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:18,079
it wasn't due to a skill? You know? And is

356
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,839
that better or worse if you already really don't seem

357
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:27,920
to like reciprocate. I also don't know if, like that interview,

358
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,279
we heard him say, I watched film of the first

359
00:25:32,319 --> 00:25:35,240
time that I was like with her making her change

360
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,200
into all of these forms, and he was clearly quite

361
00:25:39,279 --> 00:25:45,880
shaken by it, you know, and the fact that, like

362
00:25:47,799 --> 00:25:51,119
he when we saw that moment, he was upset and

363
00:25:51,519 --> 00:25:55,200
I thought it was purely I didn't see her as

364
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,039
a full person the way that I do now, and

365
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,480
it bothers me to know how how I was. But

366
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:07,519
now we have the added context of like him seeing that,

367
00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:10,680
realizing that she was beginning to actually feel for him

368
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,279
and he was just like fucking around. That adds another

369
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,359
layer of like I not only didn't see her as

370
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,079
a full person, but didn't appreciate what was happening to

371
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,720
her as a result of my skill. So I was

372
00:26:24,839 --> 00:26:29,240
manipulating her without even intending to, in addition to the

373
00:26:29,279 --> 00:26:33,920
manipulation that I fully intended. You know, just it is

374
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:40,319
a real mind fuck, you know. Seraphim says, there are

375
00:26:40,319 --> 00:26:43,720
ways for crawlers to influence in PCs. We've seen Doughnut

376
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,640
does it through her. Oh, I know that. I'm not

377
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,559
questioning whether this is something that happens. I'm questioning whether

378
00:26:49,599 --> 00:26:52,000
he has this because, like the way she worded her

379
00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:57,079
statement was just a little unclear. Cindy says, we also

380
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,480
have to remember that Louis is canonically and balding. In

381
00:27:01,519 --> 00:27:04,079
the real world, he would be considered a loser. So

382
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,519
the idea that both with a sex style and a

383
00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:09,960
shape shifting prostitute who could be anyone both love him,

384
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,119
I could see why he would have self doubt. That's

385
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,680
an interesting point. Michael says, it makes some sense he

386
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,920
knows he was treating Juice Box as a sex spot.

387
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,839
There was nothing about how they were interacting that would

388
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,200
explain why she was in love with him. If he

389
00:27:24,279 --> 00:27:26,440
knew about how she saw into his soul, maybe he'd

390
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,000
accept it, but as is, he probably can't see why

391
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,279
other than some special ability that was probably reinforced by

392
00:27:32,319 --> 00:27:37,519
Samantha's obsession. That's another really good point, is like there's

393
00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:40,519
no context for him why this would have happened and

394
00:27:40,559 --> 00:27:43,319
be so dramatic that she's willing to literally marry him,

395
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,200
and not evidently just for the allyship, but because she

396
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,839
really wants to marry him. And they have a conversation

397
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,160
later that leads to her like walking away from him,

398
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,079
and I'm wondering, I don't know if it's better to

399
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,240
tell him like, oh, yeah, I took on a form

400
00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:04,000
that allowed me to see into your heart and fell

401
00:28:04,039 --> 00:28:07,000
in love with how good a person you are. Like

402
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,720
I if I were with somebody that was able to

403
00:28:10,759 --> 00:28:13,440
tell me that I would that would make me cry

404
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,240
and I'd be so happy, and I feel like it

405
00:28:16,279 --> 00:28:21,400
would be something lovely for Louis also, But I could

406
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,279
also see not wanting to say that because it's like

407
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,359
kind of a scary thing to tell a person that

408
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,119
you literally were able to like pierce through all of

409
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:36,839
their layers of bullshit, and there's no there's no way

410
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,000
to level that ground. You know, you are working as

411
00:28:40,039 --> 00:28:42,759
a shape shifter from like this place of being able

412
00:28:42,799 --> 00:28:46,359
to do so much, and he can't match any of that.

413
00:28:46,839 --> 00:28:50,119
So there's a weird power imbalance, but there's also the

414
00:28:50,119 --> 00:28:54,599
power and balance of him being a crawler. Like. Yeah.

415
00:28:55,359 --> 00:29:01,960
So anyway, that whole conversation is happening, and as it is,

416
00:29:02,119 --> 00:29:08,119
Kiwi is giving birth and we find out, you guys,

417
00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:12,880
this creature that's born is super weird looking. It is

418
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,720
indeed a combo of a bear and a raptor, but

419
00:29:17,839 --> 00:29:22,599
it's like a it's much more mammal like and almost

420
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:28,240
sounds human as babies, which makes some sense later because

421
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,119
it's mentioned because of this mob's intelligence level, they cannot

422
00:29:31,119 --> 00:29:33,839
be used as pets, So I'm wondering if they're going

423
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,759
to be able to just straight up talk. They are

424
00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:42,279
called Earth Census legendary creature. These fuzzy little meat eaters

425
00:29:42,279 --> 00:29:44,799
are going to be quite the handful when they grow up.

426
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,920
That's as much as we get other than that they

427
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,960
can't be pets, So this should be fascinating I am

428
00:29:53,039 --> 00:29:59,640
extremely curious and the idea that like Mango, who is

429
00:29:59,839 --> 00:30:03,240
in intelligent to a degree but not intelligent enough to

430
00:30:03,319 --> 00:30:07,599
be outlawed as a pet, was able to sire these creatures.

431
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,559
Kiwi is a conscious being, so it makes sense, you know.

432
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,119
So they're gonna be this weird sort of in between

433
00:30:13,799 --> 00:30:18,599
where I don't anticipate that they're going to have the

434
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:25,240
like the communication capability that Kiwi has, but clearly much

435
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:30,880
more than Mango will. So these things are just really

436
00:30:31,039 --> 00:30:34,359
really ugly and like one of those I just keep imagining,

437
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,799
like baby chihuahuas, you know, Chihuahas are one of those

438
00:30:37,839 --> 00:30:40,400
things that's like so ugly it's cute. It sort of

439
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:45,799
turns a corner weirdly. And I will say that the

440
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,440
conversation between Carl and Juice Box wraps up in a

441
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,359
way that I really like, where she says something about

442
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,240
how just knowing that people like Louis are out there

443
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,880
is what keeps her from doing the unthinkable, and she

444
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,880
saying like, I have a power inside me that I've

445
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:08,240
been afraid of. So evidently there's something with her that

446
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,000
like she can functionit up if she wants and actually

447
00:31:12,119 --> 00:31:15,920
end things like she seems to have potentially the fail

448
00:31:16,039 --> 00:31:19,440
safe within her. I don't know how that works, but

449
00:31:19,519 --> 00:31:23,759
that sounds like what she's saying, and the fact that

450
00:31:23,759 --> 00:31:27,160
there are people out there as good as he is

451
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,000
is what's keeping her from like completely losing hope. So

452
00:31:31,119 --> 00:31:35,000
Carl says something later about like the inevitable ruin is bullshit.

453
00:31:35,359 --> 00:31:40,559
It's just hopelessness by another name, and there's never no

454
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,119
hope until we're actually dead. And I really like Juice

455
00:31:44,119 --> 00:31:47,400
Box being like, oh no, no, no, I'm not telling

456
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,720
you all this to tell you I'm hopeless. I'm telling

457
00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:52,039
you all this to tell you that I actually have

458
00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:54,119
a lot of hope I think, maybe even more than

459
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,880
you do at this point. And also I know what

460
00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:01,839
Justice Light is up to, And later on she says

461
00:32:01,839 --> 00:32:03,799
something like just wait and see it. I think you're

462
00:32:03,839 --> 00:32:07,200
gonna like it. So I'm so curious what the fuck

463
00:32:07,279 --> 00:32:15,759
that is? So okay, eighty three we go to Edgar

464
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,799
talking out what it is that's going on with Louis

465
00:32:18,839 --> 00:32:22,960
and all of the weird rules that are in place,

466
00:32:23,519 --> 00:32:27,480
and the strangeness of the overall situation with Tag being

467
00:32:27,519 --> 00:32:33,319
inside him but like not in one specific area and

468
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:41,200
they're all brainstorming, and Victory and Fopsey show up as well,

469
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,519
which is helpful because we have to ask them a

470
00:32:43,519 --> 00:32:47,000
few different things about like how the rules work, and

471
00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:49,960
there's this whole thing. As they're like throwing ideas around

472
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,359
in the background, Samantha keeps saying I can fix him,

473
00:32:54,799 --> 00:33:00,119
or I have an idea. Now. When she first says

474
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,920
I can fix him, I actually thought this was just

475
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,119
like a joke, because that's the thing that's supposed to

476
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,160
be what women say about dudes who are a lost cause,

477
00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:11,440
and then they get themselves into these like awful one

478
00:33:11,519 --> 00:33:14,359
sided relationships with men who could give a fuck and

479
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,640
will take advantage of them until they are broke or dead.

480
00:33:18,279 --> 00:33:22,839
But as it continues and she pipes up again and

481
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:28,680
everybody's ignoring her, she finally actually like bites Carl on

482
00:33:28,759 --> 00:33:35,359
the nose and tells him I have that body that

483
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,559
like flesh golm that I was going to be transferred into.

484
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,880
You can use that. And she is willing to give

485
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,680
it up, as she puts it, because Louis deserves it

486
00:33:45,759 --> 00:33:49,640
more than me. And the reason she feels this way

487
00:33:49,799 --> 00:33:55,880
is because she felt her child die in the pool

488
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,160
of acid. She says, which I don't know if that's

489
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,599
like or if this was a very beginning when they

490
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,200
did that big acid attack that was like kind of

491
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:15,159
the start of the battle. But regardless, she seems pretty

492
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:20,480
certain her child is dead and is fully like I

493
00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:25,719
should have been looking for her and I didn't, and

494
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,960
it's because I was so distracted by all of this

495
00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:35,639
other selfish bullshit. I am a bad mother, and this

496
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,119
is me trying to make up for the fact that

497
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:42,639
I ruin everything, which is what practically everybody in her

498
00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:47,400
life has told her she does. And honestly, it's so

499
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,000
sad because like she goes on to ruin everything just

500
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:56,280
seconds later, and you know, I know, Michael, you have

501
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:02,559
said that you keep picturing Rebecca Bunch from Crazy Ex Girlfriend,

502
00:35:03,119 --> 00:35:10,960
like that actress Rachel Bloom as Samantha, and it's very

503
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,960
fun because like there is a song in Crazy Ex

504
00:35:14,039 --> 00:35:16,000
Girlfriend that's just you.

505
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 2: Ruin everything, you stupid bitch, And that's the chorus of

506
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,800
the song, which she is singing to herself, by the way,

507
00:35:30,039 --> 00:35:36,440
because she feels that she is a complete like waste.

508
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: And it's a ballad. It's like a very over the

509
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,920
top power ballad, and she's in a floor length gown

510
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,559
as she sings it, and all I could think was

511
00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:53,519
I want that, but with Samantha singing it please, and

512
00:35:53,559 --> 00:35:57,719
they're just being like an awkwardly draped but empty floor

513
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:02,480
length gown like on the piano next to her. But

514
00:36:03,079 --> 00:36:05,280
she doesn't have a body, so it's like the closest

515
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,239
we can get. Maybe she's got a little sequin beret

516
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:13,840
or something. Meanwhile, we'll get back to that in a second.

517
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,559
Victory and Foxy are talking about what the deal is

518
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:26,559
with Tag actually being one of these I can't want

519
00:36:26,599 --> 00:36:28,760
to say androids, but that's not correct. What do they

520
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:36,559
call guys cyborg and that evidently it's like compromising the

521
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:42,800
It makes him and the Reavers like working together as

522
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:47,639
a monopoly, and it is undermining the faith in either

523
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:54,079
business being legitimate. It's also causing a lot of people

524
00:36:54,119 --> 00:36:57,360
to wonder whether everybody in the dream is a cyborg,

525
00:36:57,519 --> 00:37:00,400
which Juice Box says, on you know, uncertain terms, that

526
00:37:00,519 --> 00:37:03,480
is not the case. But you know, I can understand

527
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,440
why folks who are in the real world might not

528
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:18,000
trust the NPC's word on that. So this conversation with

529
00:37:18,039 --> 00:37:20,920
epitome Tag is also interesting because Carl is asking him

530
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:25,360
what he wants, and everything Tag is saying indicates that

531
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,320
he actually doesn't really know what's going on. He hasn't

532
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,280
been able to observe very much. Doesn't realize that like

533
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:39,880
they already nuked his castle, or that this other plan

534
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,559
that they had put in place is not going to happen.

535
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,320
I'm trying to find the spot where he says here

536
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,000
it is, we know what you're planning on doing with

537
00:37:48,039 --> 00:37:52,920
the NPC team with the zu with the Zurzura spell,

538
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,119
which will take the city of Loroccos to the twelfth floor.

539
00:37:56,639 --> 00:38:00,840
I will go with them, guys. I had completely forgotten

540
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,480
about this spell, by the way, it hasn't been mentioned

541
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,679
by name, you know. And I know that this is

542
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:13,199
how all this is meant like I remember, But still

543
00:38:14,559 --> 00:38:17,039
still there's so much to keep track of. I'm not

544
00:38:17,119 --> 00:38:22,840
even gonna be like ashamed of myself here. So we

545
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:28,199
can get this guy like kind of we can make

546
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,760
it so that he isn't aware of what's happening to

547
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:35,719
Louis temporarily as they attempt to do the thing where

548
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:44,159
they move the Louise what do you call it, they

549
00:38:44,159 --> 00:38:50,280
have to do a heart and lung transplant, and because

550
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:57,159
that is coming from a being that has gills. They

551
00:38:57,199 --> 00:39:03,400
have to also install a rebreather. And it's such a

552
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:09,239
weird line, y'all because when Mordecai asks Carl to pull

553
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:16,360
the rebreather out, Mordecai says something about or like, Carl is,

554
00:39:18,199 --> 00:39:20,719
you know, reminding us that he got it off of

555
00:39:21,679 --> 00:39:24,440
Loyda when he killed her, and so it's really small,

556
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,480
and he says to Edgar like it might be too small,

557
00:39:27,519 --> 00:39:30,760
and Edgar says, not where we're putting it. And it

558
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,280
just made it sound for a second like he was

559
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:33,719
going to shove it up his ass, and I was

560
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,599
like what, But you know, it turns out it's still

561
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,280
very small area. It is just the wording for a

562
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,719
moment had me go like, wait a second, Wait a second,

563
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:49,320
what are we doing here? So this is like the

564
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:55,360
moment where Samantha ruins everything, You stupid bitch? Is her

565
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,800
talking to Carl, because he says this, her giving up

566
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,480
that flesh goul is very brave and strong of you.

567
00:40:01,519 --> 00:40:03,800
That makes you a hero, Samantha. And I'm very proud

568
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:09,440
of you, she sniffed. I don't always mess things up right.

569
00:40:09,559 --> 00:40:11,000
I'd like to think maybe I can be a good

570
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,280
influence sometimes and not someone who ruins everything, which is

571
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,519
what King Blaine said to me, and what my father

572
00:40:16,639 --> 00:40:18,679
said to me and what my mother said to me

573
00:40:19,039 --> 00:40:23,159
before they all cast me out. I used her, my daughter,

574
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,320
to get what I wanted. I ruined everything. It's okay

575
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,920
to be a work in progress. Donat said, thank you

576
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,519
for helping save Louis. She nodded. I may be a

577
00:40:33,559 --> 00:40:37,639
neglectful mother. I may have had an indirect, possibly direct

578
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,039
hand in the death of Gayreun. But a girl can

579
00:40:40,039 --> 00:40:46,679
find forgiveness, right, I sighed, you did not just fucking

580
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:53,320
say that out loud, and then system message Embres has

581
00:40:53,559 --> 00:40:58,519
entered the realm. I will admit something, y'all. I totally

582
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,480
was like, gay runs familiar? What's that about? I completely

583
00:41:02,599 --> 00:41:05,800
was like not putting it together until Embrace enters the

584
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,800
realm and does the quest update. And then I was like, right, right, right, right,

585
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,000
right right, because like I feel like if you had

586
00:41:13,039 --> 00:41:16,639
a better memory and you instantly knew who that was,

587
00:41:17,159 --> 00:41:19,920
you'd be like, oh shit. But I didn't even really

588
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,000
have time to say oh shit. It was me watching

589
00:41:23,119 --> 00:41:26,760
Carl SAYO shit, going why why why are you so upset?

590
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:32,679
And then immediately being brought up to speed someone to

591
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:37,840
read what the update is. This so called Samith claims

592
00:41:38,039 --> 00:41:41,800
she was part of my son's death. Capture her for me,

593
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:46,519
and I will personally handle the interrogation. Once I have

594
00:41:46,639 --> 00:41:50,639
finished grilling her, I will cleanse this world in fire

595
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:55,000
to remove the stink of this murderer's presence. If she

596
00:41:55,199 --> 00:41:58,840
is not within my presence in sixty six minutes, this

597
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,800
world will be destroyed in fire and lava and wrath.

598
00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:08,920
So when he says grilling, by the way, it's italicized,

599
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:10,920
and I think he literally means that he will put

600
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,360
her on a grill, like he is a fire god.

601
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,920
And I don't think that's like metaphorical. I don't think

602
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,320
that's a turnip phrase, an idiom whatever. I think he's

603
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,360
literally going to, like have a grill and he will

604
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:27,519
put her on it. Now, I don't know whether that

605
00:42:27,559 --> 00:42:32,960
would matter. It doesn't seem like she feels pain in

606
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:37,320
an ordinary way. So a part of me is like,

607
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,039
what can he even do to her? But he is

608
00:42:41,079 --> 00:42:45,440
a god, so it's certainly within reason that he would

609
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,639
have something up his sleeve that we haven't seen anybody

610
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:53,519
else be able to do. Yet. You know, but later on,

611
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,599
Carl says something like, we're going to give Embrass what

612
00:42:56,639 --> 00:43:01,719
he wants eventually, which is Samith, which surprised me that

613
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,079
he's saying we're gonna give him what he wants. And

614
00:43:04,119 --> 00:43:07,760
I'm wondering if Samantha hears that, is she gonna feel

615
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,880
a way about it? Like what is she? What is

616
00:43:12,039 --> 00:43:19,280
her suggestion here? You know what I'm saying. So let's see.

617
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,760
This is when Tran chimes in. Guys, there's a new boot,

618
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,559
very very large and pissed off looking god in the distance,

619
00:43:27,119 --> 00:43:35,639
and we get the team quest. So let's see everything,

620
00:43:35,639 --> 00:43:37,559
and everybody on this floor is going to die. This

621
00:43:37,679 --> 00:43:40,079
is not something that can be stopped unless you managed

622
00:43:40,119 --> 00:43:42,559
to kill Embers, which as we all know, is possible

623
00:43:42,559 --> 00:43:46,239
but unlikely. So here's the quest part. You need to

624
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,880
win Faction Wars. You gotta do it fast, and once

625
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,280
you do that, get the hell out of here before

626
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,760
the world goes up in flames. This event supersedes any

627
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,320
other events, but Faction War's rules are still in effect.

628
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,480
Reward all survivors will be given one year off their

629
00:44:02,519 --> 00:44:06,679
indentureship contracts should they accept a deal upon the next floor.

630
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:11,239
This is good for the first negotiation. Only all food

631
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:17,119
boxes will be upgraded with the Extra Toasty option, which

632
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,559
probably just means that things are going to come out burned.

633
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,719
But I will say that the first thing that I

634
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,760
thought of. There is a catfish place near me that

635
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,239
does fried catfish and hushpuppies and stuff, and they have

636
00:44:30,519 --> 00:44:36,119
a they have two options, one which is fried and

637
00:44:36,159 --> 00:44:40,440
the other which is burnt. And burnt is just that

638
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,119
they keep it in the fryer for twice as long,

639
00:44:43,639 --> 00:44:47,840
and it's nowhere near burnt. It's just called that, and

640
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,519
when it comes to you, it's extra crispy and it's

641
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:57,559
super good. So perhaps extra Toasty is just extra crispy

642
00:44:57,599 --> 00:45:01,760
and delicious, and maybe it's fine. Like maybe it's like

643
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,840
going to KFC and getting the extra crispy meal instead

644
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,840
of which is the only thing to do. By the way, honestly,

645
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,800
don't go to KFC, go to Popeyes. But like, if

646
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,800
you have to go to KFC, obviously get the extra

647
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,360
crispy option. Popeye's default is basically the extra crispy option.

648
00:45:18,079 --> 00:45:22,000
So this is interesting because it feels like the AI

649
00:45:22,159 --> 00:45:24,679
is really trying to help everybody, but not in a

650
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,920
way that's like I care about you. It's like, well,

651
00:45:28,079 --> 00:45:32,199
I can't just let this god like kill everybody and

652
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,760
there's no more show, you know what I mean. And

653
00:45:38,039 --> 00:45:41,320
also the fact that like technically it's possible to kill him,

654
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:49,119
so he's not invulnerable or immortal for some reason right now.

655
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:54,159
I don't know why some gods are and some aren't,

656
00:45:54,559 --> 00:46:00,599
but it doesn't matter. It's fine. And let's see, I'm

657
00:46:00,639 --> 00:46:06,719
trying to find the bit here. This will happen in

658
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,639
at least sixty six minutes, but your cremation may be

659
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,280
delayed slightly if Samantha actually shows up to the interrogation.

660
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,360
So that's what Karl was talking about. Later when he says,

661
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,360
then we'll give him what he wants in the hopes

662
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,519
of like buying themselves a few extra minutes because the

663
00:46:22,519 --> 00:46:29,440
guy is distracted. So this is when Ellie is like,

664
00:46:29,519 --> 00:46:32,960
you know, maybe we should start talking about whether or

665
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,360
not keeping this like possessed sext all head around is

666
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:40,639
actually worth it, and Samantha says, like, you never accidentally

667
00:46:40,639 --> 00:46:44,400
triggered an apocalyptic event, Ellie. Samantha muttered, and while that

668
00:46:44,559 --> 00:46:48,719
feels like something that you say with like this tone,

669
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:55,079
because it's so absolutely not correct because of the way

670
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:59,480
this game is, There's a part of me that's like, wait,

671
00:46:59,599 --> 00:47:03,280
was there a time where Ellie accidentally triggered an apocalyptic event?

672
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,679
Because I feel like maybe there was, and I'm just

673
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:11,280
not like pulling it right now. I also want to

674
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:15,320
mention that, like the fact that Samantha says that she

675
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,960
may have had an indirect or very direct hand in

676
00:47:19,039 --> 00:47:26,840
Gahiran's death, and there's the information from what's his niece

677
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,639
the God that starts in ch when he's talking to

678
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,760
Carl and says like, there's rot within the all Tree

679
00:47:34,079 --> 00:47:37,400
and our mother and sister are fucked up from it,

680
00:47:38,679 --> 00:47:41,719
and we have like the whole thing with School of Pendra.

681
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,320
I'm starting to really think that, like Samantha is School

682
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,679
of Pendra. I said that it is kind of a

683
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,559
joke before, and now I'm starting to be like, wait,

684
00:47:48,639 --> 00:47:53,559
is she I don't know. There's also the fact that

685
00:47:53,639 --> 00:47:59,320
like the Scavenger's daughter thing Carl starts to wonder is

686
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:05,719
that her child and Samantha is the Scavenger, But uh,

687
00:48:07,159 --> 00:48:10,679
I don't. I feel like the fact that the warm

688
00:48:10,679 --> 00:48:15,760
Mages were saying that they're going to be doing something

689
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:20,480
with the Scavenger's daughter. Then her child isn't actually dead.

690
00:48:20,519 --> 00:48:25,440
If that's the case, and she's wrong about it, I

691
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,280
don't I eat, like there's so much, there's so much.

692
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:32,800
I'm really I'm going to be overtime here a little bit,

693
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,960
but that's like all we can do. So this is

694
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:42,239
when Carl has to yell to Kacia eat it now, now, now,

695
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,840
eat the orchid, and she is like, but I haven't

696
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:49,079
said goodbye. I have stuff in the safe room that

697
00:48:49,119 --> 00:48:53,000
I really need, and I don't know what it is

698
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,039
that she's going to be leaving behind. I'm sure they

699
00:48:55,039 --> 00:48:58,239
can get it to her eventually. But when she says

700
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,159
I really need it's italis And so I'm wondering if

701
00:49:01,159 --> 00:49:03,960
there was something that she was going to use on

702
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,440
the twelfth floor and now she's gonna wind up there

703
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:10,440
without it, which sucks the best laid plans, as they say.

704
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,360
And Kachia says, I love you, I love all of you,

705
00:49:16,199 --> 00:49:22,000
and later on Bautista is like, but wait where, And

706
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,599
I can't help but think that he's going to really

707
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,960
take it amiss that she said I love you to Carl,

708
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,039
but not to him. She didn't try and find him,

709
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,880
you know, what I mean, he just seems a little

710
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:44,559
prickly about this, and the fact that he fucking disappears later.

711
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,519
I don't know, man, something is he just out here

712
00:49:49,519 --> 00:49:55,840
throwing a tantrum or what? I don't know. So this

713
00:49:55,960 --> 00:50:01,119
whole thing, like it leads to everybody. Carl's ordering everyone

714
00:50:01,159 --> 00:50:03,599
around to make sure that we get whatever we need

715
00:50:04,119 --> 00:50:09,880
done within the time limit. And Carl says, he goes

716
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:11,719
out into the main chat if you're not in the roccos,

717
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,519
get your asses in here now. Justice Light says, tell

718
00:50:14,559 --> 00:50:16,880
me what is happening. Carl says, in sixty five minutes,

719
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,800
embers will melt this entire floor. Justice says, Oh, is

720
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:24,679
that all? And I think Carl takes that as a joke.

721
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,079
But I kind of think that maybe Justice is really

722
00:50:27,119 --> 00:50:29,360
saying this because he's got something up his sleeve that's

723
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:33,199
going to render all of this completely irrelevant. There's just

724
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:39,960
something there's something about this that doesn't feel like him

725
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:44,639
being sarcastic or funny. He doesn't seem to be somebody

726
00:50:44,639 --> 00:50:50,199
who gets sarcastic. I feel like Carl is just not

727
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:54,199
being quite curious enough. I would really want to know.

728
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:59,280
But I also understand that he probably he knows. We

729
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,159
don't want to put this in writing and put it

730
00:51:01,199 --> 00:51:04,360
out there like who knows, you know, and also just

731
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,639
wanting to respect the fact that Justice has his own

732
00:51:06,679 --> 00:51:13,920
thing going on. But yeah, so I'm extremely excited for

733
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,039
whatever fucking Justice Light is going to do. So then

734
00:51:17,079 --> 00:51:20,199
we get the system message forces from Team Retribution have

735
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:26,039
abandoned the throne room of the Dream and Carl says,

736
00:51:26,079 --> 00:51:28,559
the moment we win, how long before the stairwells appear?

737
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,639
She says immediately, and Popsi says, actually, it's about ten seconds.

738
00:51:33,039 --> 00:51:35,119
I love the fact that we have got two such

739
00:51:35,199 --> 00:51:38,960
rule followers that Victory doesn't think she's misspeaking. But Fopsi

740
00:51:39,079 --> 00:51:44,199
is so precise that she's just like, well, no, not immediately,

741
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,840
which I actually appreciate because when you're in a stressful situation,

742
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:52,760
ten seconds is a long time where you think nothing's happening,

743
00:51:53,119 --> 00:51:56,719
you know. So I think that's actually a valid correction

744
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:02,159
considering seconds count in this fucking game. They really really do.

745
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:10,199
So let's see here it is, Batista, Wait, we are

746
00:52:10,199 --> 00:52:13,519
not prepared. I need I thought, eat the fucking orchid,

747
00:52:13,559 --> 00:52:16,559
I cried at Katcha. Okay, okay, I'm doing it, Kaya said,

748
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:21,519
And you know the fact that Kaya doesn't like reach

749
00:52:21,559 --> 00:52:24,599
out to him. There's there's just really no indication that

750
00:52:24,639 --> 00:52:28,320
she notices Batista is there thinks about him. Now, I

751
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,519
will admit that this is the same in terms of

752
00:52:31,599 --> 00:52:36,480
donut as well, So it may not be anything. It

753
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:38,880
like doughnuts. Sad to not have gotten to say goodbye,

754
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:43,840
but she's not taking it personally. But again, Carl has

755
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,400
this moment with her where their head their foreheads are touching,

756
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:51,519
and she says, I love you, and I know that

757
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:57,119
even if she meant it romantically, she didn't really it

758
00:52:57,159 --> 00:52:59,679
was it was also in just a big sense of like,

759
00:53:00,199 --> 00:53:05,000
we're all in this together. But if I'm Batista, that's

760
00:53:05,039 --> 00:53:07,440
gonna feel really like a slap in the face. Especially

761
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,960
they will show him the footage of that. There's no

762
00:53:11,079 --> 00:53:16,519
way in an interview somebody doesn't like ambush him with

763
00:53:16,639 --> 00:53:21,039
that moment, and I think that's gonna be a fucking issue.

764
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:27,880
I just really really want Batista to be somebody better,

765
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:29,920
and I don't think I'm gonna get it because of

766
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,840
some of his previous behavior being giant red flags to me.

767
00:53:35,079 --> 00:53:40,519
But yeah, I don't know. Uh sorry, Jeff, says, if

768
00:53:40,559 --> 00:53:43,360
my girlfriend fucked off forever without saying goodbye, definitely go

769
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,239
into hiding. Well, she's not fucking out forever. It's the thing.

770
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,039
I think she'd say, you know, it's not forever, but

771
00:53:49,639 --> 00:53:52,119
it certainly it feels like it is if you don't

772
00:53:52,159 --> 00:53:54,239
know if you're gonna live long enough to you know.

773
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,320
Cindy says, I never trust an addict who says there's

774
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:02,280
something I really need. That's an interesting point, Cindy, that

775
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:06,559
she might be just talking about a fucking drug. Jeff says,

776
00:54:06,599 --> 00:54:09,199
I like to believe she's in love with Carl, and

777
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,760
Cindy says, hard disagree. I think their love is entirely platonic.

778
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:15,880
And I enjoyed that Jeff phrased it as I like

779
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:22,719
to believe, because that is in line with Jeff's being

780
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,239
a romantic a lot of the time in the chat,

781
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:30,639
whereas I am absolutely the opposite, and I often am like,

782
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,280
I really hope that this isn't a romantic thing, because

783
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:37,119
I just want them to purely be in support of

784
00:54:37,159 --> 00:54:39,360
each other and for us to not need there to

785
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,400
be a love story in the mix. As well. I

786
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,519
think that if this book were written by a different

787
00:54:45,559 --> 00:54:49,039
person approaching this a slightly different way, there would be

788
00:54:49,079 --> 00:54:52,079
a lot more of the romance angle, and I'm really

789
00:54:52,119 --> 00:54:54,800
grateful that there isn't, and if it's there at all

790
00:54:55,679 --> 00:55:00,079
right now, it's highly up for interpretation, and there there

791
00:55:00,079 --> 00:55:04,000
are times I will say where it feels like it's

792
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,960
not there, like I have. I'm not talking about this series,

793
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:11,039
but I covered recently Verity Vox and The Curse of Foxfire,

794
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:16,960
a really really fun book, and I was like taken

795
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,920
aback that at the end there's a romantic like subplot

796
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:25,079
that suddenly appears that allegedly we were supposed to have

797
00:55:25,119 --> 00:55:28,440
seen it the whole time, and I was not seeing it,

798
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,880
and I was just like, this is completely out of

799
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,480
the blue. So I kind of hope that if there

800
00:55:35,519 --> 00:55:40,159
is something, we get a little bit more concrete evidence

801
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:43,000
before it suddenly becomes a thing. If it's if it is,

802
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:49,400
But personally, I just don't need romance in my stuff.

803
00:55:49,559 --> 00:55:53,119
It's like very rarely done. Well. My exception at the

804
00:55:53,119 --> 00:55:58,360
moment is Heated Rivalry, which is just so romantic and

805
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:01,519
sexy and very good. So everybody, I'm only on episode

806
00:56:01,559 --> 00:56:03,679
two and it's breaking my heart, but you know, you

807
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:07,280
can join me for that coverage next week. Anyway. Suffice

808
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:13,119
to say, Katchya eats the orchid and is now waiting

809
00:56:13,199 --> 00:56:17,920
for the goddess who is fucking washing Jink's reminder, and

810
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:22,400
Donut rightfully points out that perhaps Washing Jinks is going

811
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,360
to wait until the last possible second to appear to

812
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:29,880
fuck everybody over because what does she care? You know,

813
00:56:32,559 --> 00:56:35,960
So let's see, Donut wouldn't be able to leave until

814
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,840
after Katchya was whisked away. That was the price of

815
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:43,400
the crown of the Stepsis whore. Guys, I completely forgot

816
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,079
this as well. I know that this has been a thing,

817
00:56:46,119 --> 00:56:48,840
but like the timing of it was what I had

818
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:53,119
forgotten and a part of me Also the fact that

819
00:56:53,119 --> 00:56:56,159
Batista had been like, Carl's gonna kill you and take

820
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:59,920
the flower and give it to Donut is so bonker

821
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:01,920
out of line, and I'm sort of like, did he

822
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,159
just want to plant the idea in Koscio's head to

823
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:07,360
drive a wedge or did he really think Carl would

824
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,800
do that? And then seeing that Carl had no like

825
00:57:10,119 --> 00:57:13,960
he's just telling her to eat it? Is that going

826
00:57:14,039 --> 00:57:18,840
to make him happier? That Carl would never and clearly

827
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:24,559
demonstrates that he would never or is it just like, oh, sure,

828
00:57:24,639 --> 00:57:26,800
mister perfect, he's not even going to be a bad

829
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,599
guy and try and steal it from Donut. You know

830
00:57:28,639 --> 00:57:33,840
what I mean. There's so many ways to interpret a

831
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,199
thing somebody is doing when you already feel like you're

832
00:57:36,239 --> 00:57:43,320
going to have bad faith over it. So sorry, I'm

833
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,639
just like trying to make sure I'm getting everything here.

834
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,719
Oh right, This is when Donut says, if you're planning

835
00:57:50,719 --> 00:57:52,920
on using your head thrower thing, you won't be able

836
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:56,039
to take it off. Not if Embers picks Samantha up,

837
00:57:56,159 --> 00:57:58,800
it'll just summon the God to you and will both

838
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:02,519
get burned to nothing. Remember when he was outside Surrendel

839
00:58:02,559 --> 00:58:06,119
Gore's bubble, he melted the entire world, and he says,

840
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:10,440
it's okay, one problem at a time, and I was

841
00:58:10,599 --> 00:58:15,519
just like, I understand that you got it. But just

842
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,360
in response to her being like he nearly melted the

843
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,559
world and Carl just being like it's okay, I was

844
00:58:20,639 --> 00:58:25,119
just like, oh that is not adequate. So this is

845
00:58:25,159 --> 00:58:29,880
when we do the whole transfer with Louis and warlard

846
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:33,719
Tag is aware just enough to realize some shit is

847
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:37,199
going on and so we need to distract him from

848
00:58:37,199 --> 00:58:41,599
it so that he doesn't shut down the lungs and

849
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:49,280
heart while they're doing it, which results in my favorite

850
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:52,960
I think of Donuts interactions because there's been lots of

851
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:57,159
moments where she's insulting people and going off on a tear,

852
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:01,800
and like a lot of that is it's fun, but

853
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:07,199
it's not exactly like it's the kind of insults that

854
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:10,400
I would probably write as well, like just the sort

855
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:15,760
of it's not too surprising most of the time. But

856
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:20,199
what happens here is that it starts off as Warlord

857
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:24,119
Donut and then she changes her username to epitome Tag's

858
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:29,559
sexy mother, and she says, I can't wait for you

859
00:59:29,639 --> 00:59:33,199
to come back to me, Louis. My hand is stuck

860
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:37,960
in the washing machine. Will you come help me? And

861
00:59:38,239 --> 00:59:44,800
I lost my absolute shit, you guys, I lost my shit. Now,

862
00:59:45,159 --> 00:59:47,599
for those innocents among you who don't get this joke,

863
00:59:48,039 --> 00:59:51,199
I doubt there are many of you. This is a

864
00:59:51,239 --> 00:59:56,400
reference to a common porn trope of a woman who

865
00:59:56,519 --> 00:59:59,960
was like on her knees, bent over trying to fix

866
01:00:00,119 --> 01:00:02,880
something in the dryer or the washing machine or the

867
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:07,480
dishwasher or under the sink or whatever, and almost always

868
01:00:07,719 --> 01:00:11,480
is wearing a skirt, but not necessarily and some dude

869
01:00:11,639 --> 01:00:15,199
comes in and sees her stuck in place and decides

870
01:00:15,239 --> 01:00:18,519
to take advantage of her while she can't get away,

871
01:00:19,199 --> 01:00:26,199
and that's the whole thing, and fucking donut referencing that here.

872
01:00:27,599 --> 01:00:30,960
It just it got me. It really fucking got me.

873
01:00:31,159 --> 01:00:35,400
I lost it. I was laughing so fucking hard, especially

874
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:39,320
because we have like the narrator every time saying epitome

875
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:44,360
tag sexy mother right before reading the line, you guys,

876
01:00:45,559 --> 01:00:52,519
this is just hilarious. Change your name back this instant.

877
01:00:52,559 --> 01:00:55,679
I will kill this fat loser right now, right fucking now,

878
01:00:56,039 --> 01:01:01,679
you puerile, disgusting mongrel. How dare you? How fucking dare you?

879
01:01:02,079 --> 01:01:06,320
I will starve out all of your kind? How dare me?

880
01:01:06,599 --> 01:01:09,440
How dare you insult me like that? On this the

881
01:01:09,559 --> 01:01:13,559
day of my grandchild's birth. And later on there's a

882
01:01:13,599 --> 01:01:16,519
reference to her being like, I actually saw that joke somewhere,

883
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,159
which yeah, sure, I mean, like practically everything that we

884
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,400
joke about we've seen somewhere. That's just how jokes work.

885
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:29,000
It's okay, but uh yeah, this is it turns out

886
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:32,920
a pretty solid way of keeping him distracted until it

887
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,440
goes far enough that he just throws a tantrum and

888
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:38,320
decides to shut Louie's heart down. But he does it

889
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:40,960
just late enough that we are able to save Louis

890
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:48,199
after all. So yeah, this is just hilarious. You know what,

891
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,519
Fuck this, fuck this existence, fuck this life, and fuck

892
01:01:51,559 --> 01:01:54,840
all of you. You don't deserve singularity, None of you do.

893
01:01:55,400 --> 01:02:00,639
His heart has stopped. Edgar shouted shit, pull I yelled,

894
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:10,159
and singularity when he says we don't deserve it. Like,

895
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:15,840
the idea of it is that we are going to

896
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:22,039
have such advanced AI that it's basically a full human being. Right?

897
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:26,639
Is he talking about the AI of this game or

898
01:02:26,719 --> 01:02:30,840
is he talking about the technology that he has been

899
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:35,039
using to keep himself alive? Is that I feel like

900
01:02:35,079 --> 01:02:37,280
it has to be that the second one, But like

901
01:02:37,679 --> 01:02:39,360
a part of me is like, was he sort of

902
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:41,519
interested in what's been going on with the AI and

903
01:02:41,559 --> 01:02:51,679
like tracking that or I don't know. So eventually he

904
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:58,079
wakes up, but it's clear that he's like feeling really weird,

905
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:03,920
which makes sense to the rebreather. Again, Victory has warned

906
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,599
them what they're doing here is only going to work

907
01:03:06,599 --> 01:03:10,079
in the dungeon, and if he ever gets out, the

908
01:03:10,119 --> 01:03:14,400
deal he's going to have to make will be significant

909
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,559
in order for him to adjust all of this to

910
01:03:17,679 --> 01:03:22,280
function in the real world. So that sucks. I'm really

911
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:30,519
curious what he's going to feel about the like having

912
01:03:30,559 --> 01:03:34,039
a completely different body now, and is there going to

913
01:03:34,119 --> 01:03:37,920
be a change to him because of a lot of this.

914
01:03:38,119 --> 01:03:40,119
You know, there's a mention at some point I think

915
01:03:40,199 --> 01:03:49,039
about like possibly something internally being very different. So anyway,

916
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:53,840
this is when Tag just like shuts the heart down

917
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:58,000
and kills himself, and the credit for the kill I

918
01:03:58,119 --> 01:04:00,440
almost called it a suicide. I almost gave it to

919
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:04,360
that bucket boy kid. Oh my god. But it's going

920
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,800
to Mongo consider it a present for the baby shower

921
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:11,639
because they take the other heart the like you know,

922
01:04:12,719 --> 01:04:16,000
the mechanical one, put it on the ground and Mongo

923
01:04:16,199 --> 01:04:21,800
like tries to eat it. So the dream has been defeated.

924
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:24,079
All assets of the Dream have been awarded to the

925
01:04:24,119 --> 01:04:28,239
Princess Posse. And then there were two. We had thirty

926
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:31,679
two minutes until the timer ran out, and this is

927
01:04:31,719 --> 01:04:35,800
when Carl yells out Sledge its time, and we have

928
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,800
twenty one minutes until the destruction of the ninth floor,

929
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:42,920
and we say goodbye to Sledgie because he is beginning

930
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:47,559
to cast Zurzora. Oh my god, that is never going

931
01:04:47,599 --> 01:04:52,920
to come out, right. I really we better see him again,

932
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:57,360
That's all I am saying. The entire funnel city of

933
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:00,119
Laracos and Chantytown was about to get transferred to the

934
01:05:00,119 --> 01:05:04,320
twelfth floor, to the court of the Ascendancy. According to Rosetta,

935
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:07,199
most of the action took place in the actual halls,

936
01:05:07,559 --> 01:05:10,840
which were placed on a green, fertile hill overlooking miles

937
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,880
and miles of fields of cotton. There were some magical

938
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:18,239
properties within this cotton field, but it was somewhere here

939
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,280
where the city would land, and it would be where

940
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:24,519
the NPCs would settle. The NPCs were untouchable until the

941
01:05:24,559 --> 01:05:28,280
Ascendancy actually started, and in the meantime, with Juice Box's

942
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:31,239
squad of changelings, they could hopefully keep the gods at

943
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:35,480
bay should any rules change. And if the city happened

944
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,079
to squish any mortals when it landed and hopefully drilled

945
01:05:38,079 --> 01:05:40,360
into the ground, it was going to cause some problems

946
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:45,320
because those squished would turn into undead monsters called children

947
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:49,400
of impute based on the sheer number of people we

948
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:52,159
were sending down there. Something told me it wasn't going

949
01:05:52,239 --> 01:05:55,880
to be a huge issue. I am fascinated to find

950
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:58,559
out just how this went. I'm sure that we'll probably

951
01:05:58,599 --> 01:06:01,199
get like a verbal update from somebody at some point

952
01:06:03,519 --> 01:06:07,519
and Loroccos being like this funnel and he's saying hopefully

953
01:06:07,599 --> 01:06:10,880
drilled into the ground, like hopefully it may just land

954
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:14,039
weirdly on its side, and I don't know what that does,

955
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:19,519
you know, And they're just really not sure what exactly

956
01:06:19,599 --> 01:06:22,400
is going to happen to the mercenaries, if they're going

957
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:27,800
to be going into storage, you know, the changelings and

958
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:31,239
the thousands of NPCs who lived in Loroccos put the

959
01:06:31,239 --> 01:06:35,159
Samariu plus the Samariu Dwarfs would move to the Ascendency.

960
01:06:35,239 --> 01:06:37,159
Anyone else who'd moved to this floor from the sixth

961
01:06:37,199 --> 01:06:40,760
would also move. We weren't certain about the strippers or

962
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,760
the slugglows, and as a result, they would stay with us.

963
01:06:44,079 --> 01:06:45,920
They would go back to the safe room and move

964
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:49,159
to the barracks there. We had limited capacity, but there

965
01:06:49,159 --> 01:06:51,480
were several crawlers who were planning on staying who could

966
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,760
take some in. Ferdinand would transfer to the twelfth Juice

967
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:57,599
Box would too, and with their transfer would come the

968
01:06:57,639 --> 01:07:01,800
defeat of Team Retribution and the victory for the Princess Posse.

969
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:04,920
So that solves that problem, because I really was like,

970
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,039
how exactly are we going to make it work with

971
01:07:07,079 --> 01:07:10,679
the two teams working together? If one has to die

972
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:13,400
and the solution is get everybody from the other team

973
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:16,760
fucking out of here. They have to leave last, you know,

974
01:07:17,079 --> 01:07:25,920
but still that great solution. Over fifty thousand former crawlers

975
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,760
had come to help us, only about twenty eight thousand

976
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:32,280
were left, and honestly, that was higher than I was thinking,

977
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:37,960
Like I thought we were into the teens at this point.

978
01:07:39,599 --> 01:07:43,239
So here we have Luciamar was here sitting on the

979
01:07:43,239 --> 01:07:47,639
ground sobbing. Flora, Jorgen and Amani surrounded her talking. They

980
01:07:47,639 --> 01:07:50,519
were trying to convince her to take a deal. I

981
01:07:50,559 --> 01:07:54,199
hoped it would work. I think it probably won't, just

982
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:56,559
because it seems like we need to keep her in

983
01:07:56,599 --> 01:07:59,519
the story to find out what's happening. But you know,

984
01:08:00,119 --> 01:08:03,159
I hope it works too. I just think narratively it's unlikely.

985
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:10,719
And let's see, I gazed up at a group of mercenaries.

986
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:14,320
My initial instinct was to kill them. I could mark

987
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:16,159
them and I could kill them, raising my stats to

988
01:08:16,199 --> 01:08:18,880
three hundred across the board just likely. Na I knew

989
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,479
a lot of people following my progress would be enraged

990
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:27,880
at me not doing exactly that, But he doesn't because

991
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:31,079
he knows that would turn him into somebody else, And

992
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:35,399
he has Lena to look at and realize, like, is

993
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:38,279
that who I want to be? Is that? You know?

994
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,760
Which is like weirdly lucky for him that he has

995
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:44,159
an example of somebody who is willing to do that

996
01:08:44,279 --> 01:08:46,880
to look at and be like, oh, yeah, no, I'm

997
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:52,039
not interested. I don't think so I appreciate this. And

998
01:08:52,079 --> 01:08:55,279
he winds up giving the ring to Donut to swallow,

999
01:08:56,079 --> 01:09:00,199
which I assume we're just going to like keep doing it,

1000
01:09:00,279 --> 01:09:03,239
so technically nobody can get a hold of it unless

1001
01:09:03,239 --> 01:09:05,239
they kill her and like dig it out of her body.

1002
01:09:06,079 --> 01:09:12,520
But yeah, I don't see, like, is she just gonna

1003
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:14,640
continually swallow it? I feel like there's going to be

1004
01:09:16,079 --> 01:09:21,039
probably some real awkwardness surrounding that. But you know, whatever

1005
01:09:21,159 --> 01:09:28,439
that says some logistics, we'll figure it out. So let's see.

1006
01:09:29,319 --> 01:09:31,560
This is when Ferdinand shows up and offers to have

1007
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,039
one last roll in the hay with Donut before he

1008
01:09:34,119 --> 01:09:37,800
goes to the twelfth floor. She thanks him for saving her,

1009
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:42,760
or helping to save her. Milk would not be transferring

1010
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:44,920
to the twelfth floor. She would go back to her guild.

1011
01:09:45,319 --> 01:09:47,800
I did it, she said, I fulfilled my contract. I

1012
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:49,439
still have to live out the season, but I can

1013
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:54,000
leave after this. And like the hint of her fulfilling

1014
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:56,880
her contract should have been a little bit of a

1015
01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:00,439
tip off to what's coming. But we get the Book

1016
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:03,640
of Voodoo being utilized to its full potential, which makes

1017
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:10,000
the AI very happy for fuck's sake. Finally, the book

1018
01:10:10,159 --> 01:10:13,600
had magically changed. Since it now should have been literally

1019
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:18,640
thirty thousand pages, it was uh. I opened to a

1020
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:24,439
random page crawler number Yadayada Asia as Si Hamami Carl,

1021
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:26,560
thank you for helping us. I have lost so much,

1022
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:28,760
but I still have not lost my hope. And below

1023
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:31,479
that was a drawing in red ink. It was a

1024
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:35,199
crude drawing of a lock and a key. Consuming this

1025
01:10:35,279 --> 01:10:38,279
page will give you a level ten lock pick skill

1026
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:44,079
for a period of five minutes. So this is so cool,

1027
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:49,159
Milk says, they're leaving the dungeon. These are all people

1028
01:10:49,159 --> 01:10:52,359
who made deals so I taught them how to remove

1029
01:10:52,359 --> 01:10:55,720
a skiller spell and painted onto a page. They each

1030
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:59,239
did three, one for you, Carl, one for you Donut,

1031
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:02,079
and one on their own entry page, which is now

1032
01:11:02,079 --> 01:11:04,239
a first come, first serve sort of deal in the

1033
01:11:04,279 --> 01:11:07,560
original book that anyone can use. The one for you

1034
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:10,960
and Dona are personal for you. They permanently lose the

1035
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,159
skill when they transfer it, and when you eat the page,

1036
01:11:13,159 --> 01:11:15,359
you only gain it for a short period depending on

1037
01:11:15,399 --> 01:11:18,039
the quality of the drawing. But each one should have

1038
01:11:18,119 --> 01:11:20,680
a personal note attached telling you how they're grateful that

1039
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:23,880
you have saved their lives. And they may have unloaded

1040
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:26,720
some of their gear. It's waiting in the guild for distribution.

1041
01:11:27,279 --> 01:11:29,439
I told them not to give all of it up

1042
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:32,720
because some of the deals they may take will require

1043
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:36,079
them to use their old equipment, which is sort of fascinating,

1044
01:11:36,199 --> 01:11:42,600
like why would that be? But who knows. So there

1045
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:46,800
comes this moment of just everybody gathering around to cheer

1046
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:52,920
them on and throwing like the equivalent of confetti and

1047
01:11:53,039 --> 01:11:57,600
making Loroccos beautiful again. And Dona is just like in tears,

1048
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:04,159
and Donut says thanks for helping us murder the bad guys.

1049
01:12:04,159 --> 01:12:06,399
And bad guys who are still here. I hope you

1050
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:08,560
go home and have your children, because you got really,

1051
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:12,960
really lucky. They're not really going home, Milk whispered to me.

1052
01:12:13,039 --> 01:12:16,520
Apparently the embargo was still in place. Your warriors are

1053
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:20,560
headed back to homecoming Queen. The other mercenaries, I don't know,

1054
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:27,279
and Carl says, if their masters do send them back

1055
01:12:27,319 --> 01:12:31,119
in here, I think they'll end up regretting it, So

1056
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:36,199
I guess we shall have to see. I don't know

1057
01:12:36,279 --> 01:12:39,600
how it is like with the mercenaries, you know, like

1058
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:45,119
them being pulled out. They're tech like. I don't understand

1059
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,319
why they're But this is all part of the weird

1060
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:54,800
rule set as well, so let's see. Twenty seconds, Sledge

1061
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:59,279
announced Juice Box I will be leaving approximately ten seconds

1062
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:02,640
after every everyone else. I'm going to the twelfth, but

1063
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,920
Justice Light and I are taking a long way. It's okay, Carl,

1064
01:13:06,199 --> 01:13:13,279
trust me, you'll like this one. And let's see. I

1065
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:15,840
turned to see the Dwarf had finished building the statue

1066
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:18,439
that had broken in front of the castle. The statue

1067
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:22,960
was of Dwarf a goddess assault the vinegar bitch. I remembered,

1068
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:25,800
now she was the now dead goddess of this place.

1069
01:13:26,399 --> 01:13:29,199
Paz had killed her during that fight at the end

1070
01:13:29,279 --> 01:13:32,760
of the previous floor, and the moment before everything flashed

1071
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:35,760
and disappeared, my eyes focused on the giant axe, the

1072
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:43,680
giant pick axe over the goddess's shoulder. So is that

1073
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:50,319
what's possessed? Is that vinegar bitch still out here? Is

1074
01:13:50,359 --> 01:13:56,520
that what we're dealing with? System message? Both warlords Ferdinand

1075
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:59,199
and Juice Box have left the realm. They have abandoned

1076
01:13:59,239 --> 01:14:03,039
their posts and forfeited. Team Retribution has been defeated. The

1077
01:14:03,079 --> 01:14:07,479
Princess Posse has one faction wars and here in the

1078
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:11,079
text it just says congratulations, champions. But I must say

1079
01:14:11,119 --> 01:14:17,680
that the narrator added some editorial congratulations champions, and there

1080
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:21,000
were real quotation marks around it, like the AI was

1081
01:14:22,239 --> 01:14:26,319
not impressed at all, which does make sense. But I

1082
01:14:26,359 --> 01:14:28,479
just wanted to mention it because I find it funny

1083
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:33,960
that evidently that's just purely the way the narrator was like, yeah,

1084
01:14:34,239 --> 01:14:36,079
I don't think the AI would like this, so he

1085
01:14:36,199 --> 01:14:38,840
just decided to add his own little like razzle dazzle

1086
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:45,560
to that moment. So oh right, sorry, Michael says, don't

1087
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:47,760
it has the equipment that lets her eat magic items

1088
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,039
and turn them to stats, and Seraphim says, yeah, it's

1089
01:14:50,079 --> 01:14:52,159
the same as Pony did with his ring, so the

1090
01:14:52,239 --> 01:14:56,159
ring is gone completely. Forgot about that, right, right, right,

1091
01:14:56,199 --> 01:15:01,479
right right? So yeah, I'm way over time. I've got

1092
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:03,680
to go. I have another one starting in like five minutes.

1093
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:06,880
But thank you guys again for joining me. Appreciate you all.

1094
01:15:07,359 --> 01:15:39,680
Until next time to the Loo, motherfuckers. That was an

1095
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:41,600
Unspoiled Network podcast.
