Speaker 1: Hello, This is Pumpkinberry, but you may know me as
narrator Vin Din. Thank you so much for tuning into

Speaker 2: In the world of the very small, there exists a
strange and wondrous things, a cosmic dance of connection and mystery,
defiance duet and in this odd of the worth of alts,
particles are linked in a way that transcends time and space,
fates intertwined in a way that defies your logic and reasons.
These particles move in perfect harmony. They're every step dictated
by the other's motion. What happens to one affects the other,
even when they are universes apart. They are two halves
of a whole, two sides of the coin, a bond
that cannot be broken in several in a way that
speaks to the very heart of existence. For every interaction
that takes place, there will always be an equal and
opposite reaction, a fair exchange that maintains the balance of
the universe, never in the cycle of energy and matter,
giving and taking, and sustains the.
Speaker 3: Very woes around us.
Speaker 2: This funder mental role underlies the very fabric of our realities.
Whether you believe in it or not, everything comes at
a cost of this, whether you see it, you see
it or not.
Speaker 4: H m.
Speaker 5: Hm hm h.
Speaker 6: M hm.
Speaker 7: Before we go, I need to talk to Tidus.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, uh? Could we.
Speaker 7: Can we talk really quickly up in here?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Sure?
Speaker 11: I don't see why not.
Speaker 7: I don't know how to say this, do you?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 7: Do you know that you're not our Titus?
Speaker 10: I'm I don't know.
Speaker 8: How do you know?
Speaker 7: Okay, Midas duplicated himself in the wood I connected with
I can feel him. It's a counterpart. And since we
got here, you felt different, and it's happened to me.
I kind of you know.
Speaker 4: I I'm not the original, But I can't do you know,
because I can't tell if I'm wrong.
Speaker 7: I feel like I might be wrong.
Speaker 8: They're not.
Speaker 10: This whole time, I've been wondering if any of this
it's even real this place, it felt foreign, but everything
has at least since the wood. But on the brighter side,
we're not alone, right, Neither of us belong here. So yeah,
mm hmm, I'm sorry for what it's worth.
Speaker 7: Why are you sorry?
Speaker 10: There's just something to be said about feeling like you
belong and I'm sorry that you've been feeling it as
well as I.
Speaker 7: Belonging is a a strange concept. Titus m hm. You then,
before I realized that I didn't necessarily come from the
same place as that I thought I did, I guess
I never was sure that I belonged necessarily. It was
a choice that I made one day to belong. I
chose to to wherever I was with Vega, with lear,
you can choose to belong. You know, it's possible. I
think so, I think so, I hope. So how long
have you known? It was after the wood, since we
arrived here, Since we arrived here? Are you okay?
Speaker 10: It's a relative?
Speaker 8: I suppose as good as that can be.
Speaker 10: At least I'm not running bloody through some woods or
strung up in my own web.
Speaker 7: Yeah. If it's happening to one of us, is it
happening to all of us.
Speaker 10: I don't know. Do you plan to tell the others.
Speaker 7: I'm fairly certain they know. I've wondered if Bega kind
of understood a long time ago and recently. It's just
I think if they had an issue with it, they
would have spoken to me about it. I suppose will
you tell the others?
Speaker 10: I didn't give I have not given a much thought.
Speaker 7: Tell now, what's your instinct?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 7: No, can I ask why?
Speaker 8: I guess.
Speaker 10: On one hand, I'm uncertain if it matters at all
which tightest I really am, which Jude you are, And
on the other hand, I don't want a reason that
not bowlong.
Speaker 7: Well, I suppose that all I can say to that
is maybe try to leave room for the idea that
people can make you belong as well as you choose.
Speaker 8: Too.
Speaker 7: You may be surprised if they it mayn't be surprised
if you tell them and they find a way. Yeah,
you felt that since we came here? Do you know where?
Speaker 8: I mean?
Speaker 7: I know that the Jude here is dead or sorry,
the Jude there was dead. Their Jude died. You know
where your old Titus is?
Speaker 10: I believe you's somewhere back And then not entirely sure
where though.
Speaker 7: You think it could be in the wood? Still, do
you think maybe that's where it happened?
Speaker 8: Oh? God, be the wood could be the cave. I
don't know.
Speaker 10: It's strange, feeling empathy for oneself and a different reality, almost.
Speaker 8: Like a stranger.
Speaker 7: That Titus, the one that I knew. He tried to
make a second version of himself health so that he
would be understood. I don't know if what you fear
is not belonging so much as it is not being understood.
I suspect that that is a Titus quality.
Speaker 10: You're not wrong.
Speaker 7: I feel I understood that Titus quite well, and so
I feel as though I can confidently say I can
understand you too.
Speaker 10: Oh before you go, oh, take this, I just feel
like you'll need it more than I will.
Speaker 7: Your necklace, yeah, it was.
Speaker 11: It was my mother.
Speaker 10: So don't don't lose it if you can, Okay, I won't.
Speaker 7: Are you sure?
Speaker 10: Follow my instinct?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 8: What does it do?
Speaker 10: I have absolutely no idea, no clue.
Speaker 11: Yeah, right, So, but it's got to be something, right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm sorry, I have to go back, I think,
but uh, you're gonna be okay, You're.
Speaker 13: Good, You're gonna We're gonna be okay, Yeah, all right,
best of luck to you, you too.
Speaker 14: He gave me this night has an address on it.
I suppose we could start by looking for that.
Speaker 15: And I really don't think it actually goes to a
heart dog stand, because that would be quite strange, But
maybe it does.
Speaker 6: All are right, might be a bit of both, could be.
Speaker 14: I suppose that would be a nice welcome exchange.
Speaker 7: Oh, thanks for waiting. I'm not gonna leave without you, kay.
Speaker 8: So whereabouts is it?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 11: It looks like.
Speaker 15: About a twenty five minute walk that way. I think
there's a sort of crude map drawn.
Speaker 14: On the back of this. But all it a street?
Or is that just a much? And I guess we'll
find out, okay.
Speaker 15: Either way, and I begin leading us.
Speaker 1: It is right by the hot dog stand that Blackbird
mentioned to you previously. I think we'll notice when you
get there. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't really have the ability to purchase hotdags,
but could we could we get one to go for Lucky?
He likes mustard on it, just musted. It's fucking plain,
but it's kind of this thing.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I don't really have any thing to eye that with,
like dude, you have money, right, you have currency?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I have currency.
Speaker 12: How much is a hot dog? Like one hundred?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 6: Oh god no no no, no, like two? Two hundred no,
no like two? Like one two? Two dollars? Maybe three,
depending if you get like the works? Is something right
that is cheap? Yeah, it's I mean it's it's basically
just animal left of a patch shoved into a little tube. So, like,
you know, it's not that exactly expensive.
Speaker 7: We can afford too.
Speaker 12: I have enough.
Speaker 16: Point of argument here. Should we really be carrying around
smelly meat all we're.
Speaker 5: Trying to do this?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Maybe on the way back then, Yeah, you taking
mean kids like hat DAGs normally, so I guess maybe
you could get some food for the you're really kidnapping, right?
Is that? Is that what's happening?
Speaker 15: Now?
Speaker 6: Did I Did I get that correctly?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 16: Why don't you say that?
Speaker 1: Louder?
Speaker 6: Well, I mean I don't really have the ability to
do that necessary. Well, okay, anyway, sorry.
Speaker 12: How back to the streets by the way, narrator, there's
a skull with us right now?
Speaker 1: People looking, go ahead and roll for me. Uh, whatever
you would like, whatever I would like?
Speaker 12: All right, Well, I suppose I'll roll to see if
I see anybody. They're just my vision. That's a hundred.
I guess I don't see anybody. Maybe I go blind
in the process looking.
Speaker 1: I think you're thinking about something else, probably right.
Speaker 12: My mind is completely elsewhere. I've been told that we
are going to find a child or something, but I
don't think I've been necessarily paying too much attention. Ever
since I woke up, my head has been.
Speaker 8: Killing me. It is.
Speaker 12: This fierce, dull, pulsating just ah right in the center
of my forehead, above my eyebrows. I'm not really sure
what we're doing. I'm following Vega. I'm trusting Vega in
this and just going with the motions. I presume they
might be people around.
Speaker 8: I don't know. This is a strange place. I suppose
we're stranger.
Speaker 15: Still, as we approach, you'll see that I'm sort of
slowing down. I'm looking at this building, looking pensive, hesitating.
Speaker 14: Should we be doing this?
Speaker 8: Refresh my memory? Vega doing doing what.
Speaker 14: We just created?
Speaker 15: Then we created our world, and now we are we're
populating it to just begin the cycles again, to continue everything, see,
to make it everything go on as it already has.
Speaker 14: But is that what we should be doing? Should we
be maintaining this forever? Surely there's something else.
Speaker 7: To this.
Speaker 15: We just do them, to these cycles, over and over
and over until what eternity.
Speaker 12: I look at figure in the eyes I see she's
when I look at her right now, she's talking to me.
What is her disposition? What is her attitude about what
we're doing now?
Speaker 14: She's I'm very conflicted, very.
Speaker 15: I think you overheard at least some of the conversations
that were going on inside the warehouse, And right now
I'm thinking about how there was a conversation about er fearing,
about how I was the reason for who he is
and what he is, but not yet. Something I've done
now or I'm about to do is created that, and
something I'm about to do now is creating Leah as
he is as well, and that if I'm the person
who is pushing us to do this, then I could
stop this.
Speaker 14: And you sort of see, uh, this.
Speaker 15: Uncertainty, and it's not something you've think is very familiar
and something you've seen in Viga, because you don't.
Speaker 14: Vegas not an uncertain person.
Speaker 12: To your knowledge, she's always been cock Sure, I this
person we're looking to find the they're me right, That's
what I gathered. If yes, if I am not to
be found here to be sent back to Dinn, what
have you too? Viga June, I, I carenot for the
bigger picture. I think I've said this before.
Speaker 8: If I don't.
Speaker 12: Know what I would to who I would be without you?
I know you're thinking, surely there's another way, you know,
break this cycle, whatever this is. But if it involves that,
I uh, I don't know.
Speaker 15: Is this all we've done every time? Have we been
here before over and over again, making the same decisions
because we feel like we have to? Is there any
way of knowing?
Speaker 14: I don't know.
Speaker 7: Do you feel like you have to right now? This
conversation that's happening right now, does this speak of someone
who feels like they have to? You do not have
to do anything?
Speaker 14: What if not doing that?
Speaker 15: Yes, it raises us from existence everywhere?
Speaker 16: Well, that's what it will do, probably because if you
make small changes to, for example, some sort of timeline, right,
those changes have a huge effect. We've been thinking on
that for a long time now. Something as big as
this will certainly have a huge effect.
Speaker 12: Is that truly?
Speaker 8: Something we want to risk beggar.
Speaker 14: This isn't a decision that I can make and learn, but.
Speaker 12: It seems like one that you've already made.
Speaker 7: No, I think if I may, of course lear, this
is you we're talking about. This is you, your life,
the people you love, your opportunities, your path. What do
you want for yourself?
Speaker 12: What I've always wanted for myself? I suppose you and vague?
Of course, I am nothing without you two.
Speaker 7: It's not true.
Speaker 14: You don't believe that.
Speaker 12: And who would I be without you? Is this some
twisted way of saying farewell without even meeting each other
in the first place. If this truly is just repeating
a cycle and we're breaking a chain, then it's all
this Everything that we've built up until this point is nothing.
Speaker 8: It's smoot, is it?
Speaker 14: And what if that's not true?
Speaker 15: What if we continue as we are and that's it,
it just doesn't repeat. What if the leer in there
has an amazing life ahead of him without being stolen
and taken away to a place he doesn't understand? There
are so many what ifs. Because we can't see the
maybe we can see the future.
Speaker 16: It could also just be his best chance.
Speaker 12: What do you mean by his best chance.
Speaker 16: I'm mean to think of this place, right, think of
all the things that we've heard of the other layers
with Juden Vega. You turn out the way that you did.
Speaker 12: Right. But as far as I know, this is not
an other leer, is he? It's actually me? Somehow, He's
not from another reality. Somehow I'm standing here and apparently
there's me upstairs. But small, Oh, take it easy.
Speaker 8: I don't know. This is all so much.
Speaker 6: I think you might be making it a little more
complicated than.
Speaker 12: You think, says the floating skull.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I'm fucky. What you choose is what happens.
You're here, you go up there, you find yourself, you
close this loop. Great, that's what happened. You don't go
up there, something else happens, something else might pull you
to close this loop.
Speaker 8: I'm not something else.
Speaker 6: Great question. I'm not sure you want to necessarily take
that risk.
Speaker 11: Do you listen? If I hear?
Speaker 12: If I could you know, if we could break this loop,
whatever this is, whatever these great beings that seem to
be watching our every move, who know every step before
we make them, if we can break that, if I
could just float into space and still be here with
these people that I know that I love, then I'll
do that in a heartbeat.
Speaker 6: You are those beings. I think you get to make
that choice.
Speaker 12: This this doesn't I think you see Lea start to
fray a tiny bit, you know, like all this existential
hum just heaviness. He's not necessarily able to comprehend it,
you know, He's just We've been fed so much information
about so much in such a short time, and I
haven't had a chance to learn, and things haven't snapped
the way that I suppose that has to everybody else.
Speaker 8: I'm just being told that.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 8: I mean, first of all, I was.
Speaker 12: The one the the successor to a throne of some kingdom.
But the next thing, I know, I'm not just the
only one of myselves, but there is an infinite multitude
of myselves in infinite realms. And they're not just physical realms.
They're realms that exist within each other in different times,
in different spaces. And now and now I'm here but
not them where it's super important. I think that I
if I think about this much longer, I might just
go mad. So I think I recoil and I don't reply.
You just see my eyes starting left and right just resigned.
Speaker 15: I take Clear's hand. I think he probably hasn't even
noticed that I've taken his hand. Has it gone through
this thought process?
Speaker 12: Not at all? Bigger, I don't I don't understand. I
don't know what is real anymore.
Speaker 8: I don't.
Speaker 12: Know why we're doing what we're doing. I don't know
what we should do. I don't know who I am anymore.
Speaker 8: I don't.
Speaker 12: All I know is what I see, and I see
you before me. I see vague, I see I see Jude,
I see I see my friends, I see my family.
Everything else is darkness. Everything else it's heavy.
Speaker 15: I want to know if what we're doing will have
raise anything like that?
Speaker 14: Do we get to just continue?
Speaker 8: I do not know.
Speaker 14: I don't know anybody knows. How is anybody able to
make a decision like that?
Speaker 1: Do it every day?
Speaker 12: So I suppose we do do it every day, wake
up up not knowing what's coming tomorrow. Can never be
too sure. I trust you beyond anyone or anything in
this world or the next. But the second, the second
you or Jude lose sight of what is I myself
am lost, then listen to me.
Speaker 7: You are lear than Blake guard.
Speaker 8: I am lear. Been blake.
Speaker 7: God, you are lear.
Speaker 8: I am lear.
Speaker 7: You know yourself. You know yourself better than anyone.
Speaker 8: I know myself.
Speaker 7: You've been in your own flesh, your own mind, seeing
through your own eyes, spoken with your own voice, breathe
there with your own lungs. As long as you've existed,
it's been.
Speaker 12: You, it's been me.
Speaker 8: What of this?
Speaker 12: What of this other? What are we doing? What should
we do?
Speaker 8: Again?
Speaker 12: As Vegas said, this is a this is a team effort,
This is a team decision.
Speaker 7: And Australia at the point she does remember remember when
there was another razrath O came to us to help us, right.
He came to me before he left, and he told
me that the leer that we were fighting didn't have
a vega or a Jude.
Speaker 12: Okay, well, in that case, if we don't send this
one back, then he will become that. I think this
is our choice to make now.
Speaker 7: No, there's no guarantee that that's the case. But all
I know is that a leader with a vega and
a Jude is a good leader, which I don't feel
fully comfortable saying, because I believe that you are good
without anyone else, You're good. I know that beyond everything.
Speaker 12: Well, I am the only leader I want to be.
So if we must make this choice now and do this,
I would be without regret. I've had no regrets knowing
that I was taken. I've gained far more than not
than I otherwise would have. I suppose, I don't suppose
I know. And if the alternative is he is a monster,
being out of my nature or something else, then I'm
I'm convinced.
Speaker 8: Are you?
Speaker 7: I go where you follow? There? You're convincing, is mine?
Speaker 12: I suppose we have our own circle, our own shame
of our own making, of course, just.
Speaker 7: Like these, and I show the bracelet that we've worn
since we were children, just like that, hold in my
own up.
Speaker 12: Mine to you, all right? I think we turned to
Australia and I apologize for ah, sorry for that scene.
I'm not exactly sure what came over me.
Speaker 16: I don't think you need to apologize to probably the
most emotional one here, m.
Speaker 11: Here.
Speaker 6: You gotta, yeah, make these decisions for yourself. It's important
what if you do will be the right choice, even
if you don't necessarily believe that.
Speaker 12: Do you believe that?
Speaker 6: Yeah? I do? Other Why Isaiah, you wouldn't be here.
Speaker 8: There'sten How much time do we have before the flair? Right?
Speaker 6: Oh, maybe another day?
Speaker 14: I see then perhaps taking him is to keep him
safe from whatever happens.
Speaker 7: It's entirely possible.
Speaker 14: Yet I just hate feeling like I'm out of control.
Speaker 15: Whatever I'm doing is preordained, whatever decisions I'm presented with,
I am.
Speaker 14: I think how much control did I have?
Speaker 12: I think she hasn't let go, so I just squeeze back,
and I think, I think we have our choice. This
is a choice to make right here, right now, in
this moment, and we don't know what's happening after. To me,
this just seems like one one wound to heal, one
stitch to make I I don't for a moment believe
that we go up there, we do what we have
to do, and I wake up again seven years old.
As much as I would love to relive my childhood
with you and with with Juard, I don't think it's
the end for us. It is not the end for us.
We get to decide that, we get.
Speaker 8: To decide that.
Speaker 12: Who knows, Maybe perhaps it'll be different, you know, maybe
we'll meet Raza Roth, Titus, Astraa, you know, maybe it's
not a perfect circle. Maybe it's just you know, the
same script, different actors. Perhaps, who's to say.
Speaker 5: Let's go kidnap a child, then.
Speaker 12: Let's go kidnap me?
Speaker 8: Were your strength sentiment?
Speaker 16: Do we want to put some sort of an illusion
on us to make us less visible?
Speaker 6: That's a good idea.
Speaker 15: It's probably best if Leah doesn't get too close, sir.
Maybe I'll stay with Leah and Australia Jude.
Speaker 12: I don't remember much, if not anything, honestly, except for
a blinding light.
Speaker 10: And too shall pain?
Speaker 14: All right?
Speaker 8: I did.
Speaker 12: Great, I did feel pain for long, but it was keen.
Speaker 8: Mhm right.
Speaker 16: In the vision that I had lear estraa. You were
next to me, okay, and we grabbed you. So if
we want to stick to the script on that weekend otherwise,
very well?
Speaker 12: Now, how could it be?
Speaker 14: Leah? What was something you didn't experience that you remember.
Speaker 12: Something I didn't experience? Did you elaborate?
Speaker 14: Did you smell anything?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 12: I was looking out the window, the traffic, the lights,
The room was dark. I had one light on.
Speaker 8: I think that.
Speaker 12: The picture box was on. Something was playing. I forget what.
I think it was nights or something I remember the
oh wow, eons ago. Uh no, smells just shadows.
Speaker 8: It was like.
Speaker 12: Everything crew small and then there was nothing.
Speaker 15: I pick up a small pebble from the ground, and
I'd like to cast a very minor bit of magic
on it that makes it smell very strongly of I
smell that Jude Lea and I are very familiar with.
Speaker 2: It's a very.
Speaker 15: Specific smell, smell of the kitchen that we used to
sit in every single day for lunch.
Speaker 7: Go ahead and roll for it.
Speaker 15: M Can I get I wanted like a twenty shifts.
It's extremely familiar smell. I'm conjuring right now.
Speaker 1: It's familiar, and it's involving a memory between the two
of you. Absolutely that makes sense to me.
Speaker 15: Seventy seven partial success doubles.
Speaker 1: What happens?
Speaker 15: I think the pebble actually turns into a bread roll
from the kitchen. It's not like one you'd usually find,
oh here, at least in New York. It's a very
strangely shaped bread roll that's not quite as strongly as
I wanted it to, and that has just taken the form.
Speaker 8: Is that a featheral.
Speaker 12: It's all that audience because it's shaped like a dahi,
miss feather.
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's dipped in honey right at the end. But
it was that special honey. You know, it's like caramel honey.
Speaker 8: I missed that.
Speaker 14: It's been so.
Speaker 12: Long, okay, And why do you have one of those?
Speaker 15: Well, you said you don't remember smelling anything. And then
I just want to see how much control we have,
how much we can change what we experienced.
Speaker 12: Maybe see.
Speaker 15: It might mean nothing if I can never verify it
to begin with, but at least I don't know. Planting
possibilities everywhere seems like my best chance at staying on track,
Feeling like I have some semblance of idea of what's
going on at any point in time, because otherwise I'm
gonna drive myself insane.
Speaker 12: If anyone has control, Vagates you great, you always have.
Speaker 15: And I hand the bread roll to Jude to me,
You're gonna go in there, just okay, Aaron, I will
wait outside.
Speaker 8: I see changing the script. Ah oh mmmm, narrator, mm hmm.
Speaker 12: There is one detail that I would like to confer
with you in private. So I'm going to just whisper
you right now, all right, while this is happening everybody else.
Speaker 8: If you could, I don't know you can talk. I
don't know how long this is gonna be.
Speaker 14: I might as well try one of these hot dogs
while we're.
Speaker 6: Here, going to say they look pretty good. Might as
well grab it? Can you grab it? Lucky's for me?
I literally can't do.
Speaker 1: That, so, I mean, can you antine?
Speaker 6: No, I'm not going to eat it. We just need
to keep I'm pretty sure he could taste things. I
think so always been lying to me for like the
last you know, thirty forty fifty years?
Speaker 14: Have long?
Speaker 6: It's been fifty years now. I don't know. Do you
think I have a great concept at time? I'm gonna
be honest any of us. Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 7: I would have assumed that Blackbird is, you know, over
ten thousand years old.
Speaker 6: I mean he said that, he said like twenty thousand.
He said like he's five years old. He never gave
me a straight aencent.
Speaker 7: For hallweeno.
Speaker 15: He might have just been born the day before we
were Just what does it matter really?
Speaker 6: I guess yeah, yeah, pretty much around there.
Speaker 8: Okay, all right, Lega and I will stay behind. Good
luck all.
Speaker 7: Right, Australia, you lead the way, okay.
Speaker 16: Before we go anywhere, I'd like to go ahead and
see if I can apply some sort of a a
visual illusion on us to make us, you know, either
very difficult to see or you know, impossible to see
to anyone who is not vega lear or Tim.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 6: I'm very happy to help enhance. That is best I
can kind of why I'm kind of why I am here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, shift from Tim Okay.
Speaker 7: Forty seven success, What happens?
Speaker 1: What do we what do we see?
Speaker 16: I'll go ahead and I'll grab Jude by the hand
and I'll take a look at her, and you'll start
to see a purple light emanating from our hands together,
and then we kind of do that flicker that my
double does and you can't see us.
Speaker 7: You ready, Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 16: We'll start trying to loop around the house and see
if we can find any sort of an entrance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, go ahead and roll Rayah, all your sneaky stuff,
your observe and you're moving silently and things.
Speaker 16: Okay, we'll do this sneaking first. Forty nine partial?
Speaker 1: Why is that a partial? You're both invisible? So what happens?
Speaker 16: I think there are certain instances where perhaps the illusion
kind of slips a tiny bit and you'll see slight flickers,
but it's almost if you're paying attention, you know, you'd
obvious see it. But if you kind of were just
going about your day, if you're like, you know, and
it's not there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, cool, Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 16: So it's similar to that. And then we'll see if
we can observe any entryways. That is a ninety failure.
Speaker 1: Now what what is that? Do you think? Is it
just like the doors are locked where you're looking for
an easy way in.
Speaker 16: I think I'm a lot more or will I am
a lot more conflicted that I'm letting on.
Speaker 1: I was just going to ask you that, how how
are you feeling about this?
Speaker 11: God?
Speaker 16: This is horrible. You know, I've done a lot of
things for the sake of protecting ras and for the
sake of protecting you know, uh, Titus and everyone like that.
But it seems wrong too to steal a child in
the first place. But all of this consipitualization of you know,
multiple personalifications of ourselves and all of this other stuff
is I think kind of been a little too much
for my brain to handle all at once while I'm
trying to keep moving forward. So I'm compartmentalizing and it's
hard to focus.
Speaker 1: What do you think your double feels like right now?
And can I have a role from you that is
anything about like either knowing yourself kind of more like
a heart a soul role rather than necessarily a mind.
But you can use mind if if you don't have
anything in in that or magic if you like either one.
Speaker 16: I have influence, which would be hard to heart. I
have reflection, which is an emotional intelligence role.
Speaker 1: That one.
Speaker 7: Yeah, just because.
Speaker 16: There being to shift on this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can have a ten shift okay.
Speaker 16: Sixty nine partial?
Speaker 1: Okay, So you used a word compartmentalized. And what I
was going to ask you is, how would you feel
if you found out you were compartmentalized alone? Why do
you think you would ever compartmentalize yourself? Why do you
think you have a double.
Speaker 16: In the first place? Yes, hmm, I honestly don't know,
because the whole thing is where she came from was
when I was young and I was also very alone.
Speaker 1: So do you think do you think it's possible that
you are? You have always been in a state of
superposition so that you didn't have to feel alone. You've
always described your other the same way that your fear
described putting the realities in a state of superposition. Is
it possible that this other version of you is not
a different Rahea at all. It is just you making
different choices. But the way you perceive it is that
you can see her.
Speaker 7: It was kind of beautiful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a cry out to the universe from
an illusionist who didn't want to be alone. And there
you have it. You see through the illusion. You said
ever since you were little, and you don't have to share.
But I am wondering, what was the moment, if we
were to see it, that caused you to snap into
this state, because it wasn't since you were born. What
was it?
Speaker 7: So when.
Speaker 16: When I was a child, we it's kind of like
the village raises the kids all together, the town does
in general. But obviously you still have your parents, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and.
Speaker 7: Wow some of us.
Speaker 16: Yeah, they were pretty vicious. That's why they were so
quick to give me away. There was one day in
particular where there was a pretty bad fight and I
was just sitting by myself and sitting in the corner
of the house and they had finally left after hours
of screaming, and I just thought to myself, how beautiful
it would be to have someone who actually loves me
for me. So I guess maybe I made that for myself,
and I've had her ever since, so at least I
had my own back.
Speaker 1: Right as we should cannot speak, please continue.
Speaker 16: When I was sitting there and she appeared in front
of me, she was like everything that I wanted myself
to be too. She was prettier, not by much, you know,
I like certain parts of my face, and she was gentler.
Because I've always felt like I've been an endless store.
I destroy. That's what I do, That's what I was
trained to do. There's like an art behind it, and
I think she helped me find that because she was
just so beautiful.
Speaker 7: You are just so beautiful.
Speaker 1: It's Gemini, your twin. She's not a twin, she's you.
She is exactly like you. You are all of these things.
Speaker 7: I suppose.
Speaker 16: I am anyhow sorry to Astraa.
Speaker 7: I guess.
Speaker 16: She doesn't deserve to be compartmentalized. So let's go kidnap
a kid.
Speaker 1: That really hit me.
Speaker 7: You need me to break into this house or something.
I'm gonna try and get in this house.
Speaker 1: Mum, huh, Holy shit, Why does this? Why does this happen?
What happens?
Speaker 7: I just opened the back door. It's unlocked. Okay. The
house is.
Speaker 1: Quiet except for the two of you. When you enter
this room that has already been described by Lear, you
see seven year old Leir. We're not going to go
into detail, but I want to know what you're both
feeling and thinking when you see little kid Leir.
Speaker 7: Here you go ahead of st.
Speaker 16: When I'm looking at him, I'm thinking about all of
the adventures that he's about to go on. I see
the bond between Lear and Dude and Vega, and I
know that he's going to be okay, even if he
isn't for a little while, even if I feel wrong
about this, he's going to be fulfilled.
Speaker 7: Jude, I don't remember him being that small. He's little.
You don't really uh. I think you don't really realize
how small you ever were or are, because it's just
you the whole time, and you get older and then
you go into your old house and it's little things
aren't where they're supposed to be. I see him, and
I recognize him, and he's my best friend, and he's small,
and I remember being small with him and it's selfish.
It's selfish because what I feel is that I can't
wait to love him. And I know that I should
feel more conflicted, but I love him and I want
him to belong with us and with me, give him
a home, take care of him, time about using a sword,
and spend our days together. And I pull out the
necklace that Titus gave me, and I quietly put it
on him. That's what I'd like to do.
Speaker 1: Where do you put it? Can you roll for me? Actually?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 7: When am I.
Speaker 1: Rolling magic or want something in mind? Your choice?
Speaker 7: Can I Can I suggest another option?
Speaker 1: Sure? Always and forever? Is it the lear option? Because
you have a lear skilled.
Speaker 2: Don't you.
Speaker 7: Unwavering loyalty?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 7: I go for it. This feels like a soul roll
to me. Yeah, do I have any shift?
Speaker 1: Of course you do. It's leir ten or twenty whent
to you tell me.
Speaker 7: Twenty it's my boy thirty nine partial success. I think.
Speaker 1: You know where this belongs and you know what this is,
and that's all I'm going to say, and you can
describe the rest.
Speaker 7: I look down at the stone that Titus gave me,
and it looks familiar to the stone that I've actually
seen for a long time. And I place it around
his forehead and I put the palm of my hand
on the stone over his third eye.
Speaker 17: Yeah, they look between them, and I'd.
Speaker 16: Like to go ahead and just put my hand on
Jude's shoulder.
Speaker 2: And I nod.
Speaker 1: I'll fade out here.
Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The stone from the old wood from Titus that was
then altered by Blackbird is now firmly with child lear
And meanwhile, in our super position state, we switched to
the others.
Speaker 2: And that was the first time I thought I tried
ice cream. It turned out to be something for an
affliction of hemorrhoids or something. It tasted terrible.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he just had pepto, buddy, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I eventually I was able to have some.
Speaker 2: Ice cream. It's delicious. What make shraw had her?
Speaker 3: I feed too much, too much, too fast.
Speaker 6: You can eat a lot of it. I mean, it's
terrible for you if you do that. But you know,
too much too fast?
Speaker 2: Sure, but how can you stop yourself from eating it's
so fast it's delicious.
Speaker 6: Well, impulse control, I guess. M.
Speaker 2: How are we looking over there? Se of eyes on it?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Hah're you're making choices.
Speaker 2: No, no, not that we'll get to that. No, no,
the maze that oh a right, he was watching that.
Speaker 9: I was when I wasn't listening to that riverting story
like bird. I'd like to see if I can sense
if anyone has been caught in our trap yet?
Speaker 1: What had a role for me.
Speaker 9: Any shift?
Speaker 7: You tell me.
Speaker 9: It's my trap, So I suppose I know what it
looks like when it has been triggered, all right, and
what it feels like. Yeah, I think that's a yeah.
And also I suppose it also has lair also helped
with it. And I have a connection with Leo. Whenever
Magic's work together, they seem to bolster each other. So
I believe I would bump up to a twenty shift
as well.
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 9: Forty four doubles.
Speaker 1: Unreal question.
Speaker 4: For you.
Speaker 1: There is an answer, and I will answer you. But
I am curious if you think that they're if your
trap has been triggered. If you were to make a
narrative guess based on everything that's happened thus far, what
would you say.
Speaker 9: I would say, yes, I think it has.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always been already triggered, right, you've always had three.
We rolled for it just in case there were more,
but you've always caught at least three. But she rolled
the fucking three. So yeah, I think you know who
those three are in that trap, and they're in DIN.
Physician time is not linear. Yeah, So the rangers that
you trapped in DIN are the ones that have Titus
and are trying to find their way out. And I
think you probably can learn as much as you would
like about that. So you can ask me anything and
I will answer. So you rolled the forty four, I think.
Speaker 9: Coming to that realization, or at least accepting that realization,
I think I had already known, but so I didn't
want to think about it, didn't want to lean too
deep into it. Why not, because if that's the case,
it seems like I might be the reason that Titus
was taken and I will not be able to live
with myself knowing that. But I have also always been
very stubborn to my detriment, often with the desiccation being
a prime example of that. I want my question is
from here, from this prison I've essentially made around then,
I want to know how I can I want to
know how I can kill the three, if it's anything
like the prison I've created and when I went to
when I first got Titus, I claimed control.
Speaker 1: Of that yes, because it was always yours. So if
this were a movie right now, we would be seeing,
we would be seeing like I'll call back to me
telling you you have a bonus ten shift, but I
wouldn't tell you why. This is why, This is why
you had a bonus ten in that shift, in that realm,
because it was yours.
Speaker 2: It's your trap.
Speaker 1: Time isn't linear, You'd already said it. It's you have
complete control over that area. So in terms of how
can you kill those three, I think you'd have to.
You'd have to go back to Din. You'd have to
go there. You'd have to confront them. They're in your
realm unless you are to squish your unless you are
to remove the realm. You know, you can remove the trap,
but it's going to release everything that's in that trap.
Speaker 9: I if I can, I believe it's my realm, So
I will hmm. I want to make it so that
at the very least I separate the three from the
titles there, Okay, so they can't continue their experimentations on
him until I get there to finish the job, all right,
But I will turn to Tim and Blackbird and Rufi
entitles to just say I think it has been triggered.
There are three chapter in there. If they're sending any more,
I'm I'm not sure if you will continue to hold.
But at the very least the three day cent dealt
with for now.
Speaker 2: A well done, Blackbird?
Speaker 10: If I may, can I ask you something?
Speaker 18: Of course, there's just this this phrase. I can't forget
its destiny is what fate questions? And we are those
that deal with destiny? Is our destiny and fate the
same thing? Or how are they different?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Of course not.
Speaker 2: They'd be the same word if they were the same thing.
Speaker 8: Now, fate is.
Speaker 2: Fate is an idea and destiny is action. You can't
you can't have this idea of free will or being
able to make your own choice if in the end
you never had one. Nothing's linear, nothing simple. You will
always have a choice, and whatever end you meet, that
is your destiny. It's a terrible answer, I'm sure.
Speaker 10: No, not entirely.
Speaker 11: So you believe it?
Speaker 9: Then we.
Speaker 10: Does everyone have a destiny or fate?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 2: Of course have you not?
Speaker 8: Fate?
Speaker 2: No destiny? Yes, we all have it within us to
do so much. From the moment you exist to the
moment you stop. You have infinite ability. Maybe you don't
have infinite resources, but the options are there, the choices,
the potential.
Speaker 8: Just like now.
Speaker 2: In this super position, the choice matters, and there's no
choice already made. You have a destiny. You all have
a destiny. I can't tell you if it's going to
be grand. People use those words I have a destiny,
as if they're going to save the world. Maybe your
destiny is to own a little shop sell clothes, maybe
you make them yourself. There's nothing wrong with that, still
a destiny. There's no good or bad, or right or
wrong when it comes to people's ends.
Speaker 8: It just is what it is.
Speaker 10: I guess that helps, Thank you.
Speaker 2: I don't know if what do you think your destiny
is supposed to be.
Speaker 10: I suppose that's what we're doing now, right, is it?
Speaker 3: You still have choices.
Speaker 2: It's not supposed to be anything. It just is what
it is. When it is, it's not fate. You'll always
have choice.
Speaker 9: Do you have any idea what the others are up to?
It seemed urgent. I didn't want to ask questions but
do make eye celebrate?
Speaker 6: Do I or do this?
Speaker 2: Tim would, but I'd appreciate it if Tim didn't tell us.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I ain't saying anything. Hey, thank you, Sorry, it's
the way the magic works. I do that, and one
of me goes away. Observation, quantum theory, all that fun.
Speaker 2: I can't observe himself at this point. Then a choice
is made. As of right now, it just is.
Speaker 9: Okay. Then is anything we can do to prepare for
whatever the doing?
Speaker 2: If you want, what would you do if you could
prepare for them coming back?
Speaker 9: I suppose it depends on what exactly they're doing. I
don't know what I'm preparing.
Speaker 2: For, so can we prepare?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 9: I think I turned to a roof air and just
without saying anything, just kind of gives a nod as in, okay,
I understand now.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm not back back.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 8: These are the stories I've been telling you, the three
of you, for years.
Speaker 2: All good stories.
Speaker 8: I'm sure.
Speaker 3: That was a joke.
Speaker 8: That was a joke.
Speaker 2: It's okay, okay, I know, like with humor, I do,
I do.
Speaker 19: You know, it's it's it's it's good. You know, you
never know when you need to just change direction, change
perspective sometimes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, don't don't pay him too much mind.
Speaker 9: Mm hmmm, I do want to say thank you that blackbird.
Speaker 2: Okay, you're all welcome for what.
Speaker 7: For?
Speaker 9: I suppose looking after refair?
Speaker 2: Oh? Well, to be honest, you look deft himself, did you, boy?
Speaker 8: Sometimes?
Speaker 20: Yes, but there was that time you threw me into
a lake filled with a bite gates.
Speaker 9: I think I wasn't told about this story.
Speaker 20: Yes, although I got myself out of that bind using
the spells that you taught me. So did you look
after me? Or did I look after myself? M well,
that's good, that is.
Speaker 8: Both. I suppose, although I'm.
Speaker 20: I do wonder about I suppose a few things. Since
we're doing nothing, why is it I was not to
go to the other side. Now we're here at the
end of all things? What could have been over there
that was so.
Speaker 8: Menacing?
Speaker 2: A different destiny? I suppose the burden of knowledge is
it's called such because of what it is. When you
know so much and you could guide things, the first
thought is don't don't affect things, You'll cause problems. And
then the next thought is, but I could affect everything,
and what if I could get it just right. But
the truth is that when you have knowledge of so much,
you have to choose when to use it. And it
doesn't mean that when you use it anything will come
of it, good or bad. I chose to say that
to you. You could have chosen to not listen.
Speaker 20: Yes, I suppose so. I had the same problem. I
suppose with Vegas several times, even with raz when we
were what seventeen with the flame and the candle. I
do wonder whether I should have taught you any of that?
Whose fault was the dessication? Really yours mine his?
Speaker 9: If it helps at all, regardless of if you taught
me or not, I would have tried to figure out
way myself.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, that's good, it's very good.
Speaker 8: Blackbird. What about the fact that and I poked Titus
like on his forehead here and say, well, this is
not our Titus.
Speaker 6: What do you what do you mean by that?
Speaker 8: Yes, well, I.
Speaker 20: Suspect that that's not our Titus.
Speaker 8: This is probably not ours. What do you again?
Speaker 6: Now, what do you mean by that? Has have they
not traveled with you? Have you not gotten to know them?
They should have Just moments ago.
Speaker 20: A symbol assigned to us. We saw it in the apartment.
Were you aware of all of those symbols?
Speaker 6: By symbols, do you mean the aliases you took or
something else.
Speaker 16: The.
Speaker 20: Markers that tell us where we're from?
Speaker 9: Kay from the test?
Speaker 8: Mm hmm, each one a symbol of the different worlds
out there.
Speaker 6: No, Oh well maybe, but I think my question still stands.
Are these not the ones you traveled with? Are these
not the ones you got to know? Why does it
matter where they're from?
Speaker 8: No, it doesn't matter to me anymore. I take RAS's
hand and pull him close and.
Speaker 20: Say, it doesn't matter if you're not my raz or,
I'm not your error, that's not our love works.
Speaker 6: No, and then this is your tightscent, isn't it.
Speaker 20: Yes, I'm merely curious. I don't I'm not sure. And
I glance at Blackbird and catches Aye and say, I
think I've seen everything. I have the sense that once
I cast a spell so large that I touched every heart,
and we all just want one thing to be held,
to be seen, to be loved, and we're here now.
I am too, and that's all that matters.
Speaker 8: I just.
Speaker 20: I find it curious. I suppose to be aware that
this is coming to understand it and yet.
Speaker 8: Do nothing.
Speaker 20: Or perhaps it was the same for you as it
was for I, with the dessiccation a message slung from
the future towards myself, hoarding me off of it for some.
Speaker 8: Reason or another.
Speaker 20: Do you have a question, though, Did you know when
you should interfere, when you should teach, when you should
stay away?
Speaker 8: Or was it guesswork for you? Also?
Speaker 2: In a way, it was definitely guesswork, because everything is.
You can be certain of anything and then make choices
based off of it and still be wrong. Because I
can't control who you are. I can't control anything, not really.
But I did trust you because that's what love is, right,
love is trust. You two trust each other. Maybe this
isn't who was? This is who is right now?
Speaker 8: Did you trust yourself? Oh?
Speaker 2: Yes, you have to, even when you're wrong. You are
all you have.
Speaker 8: Well, then I am content with what I have.
Speaker 3: That is terribly rare.
Speaker 12: Mhm.
Speaker 8: I suspect it was a gift from myself.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think you ever needed me about
have to say right now, I know.
Speaker 8: I trust.
Speaker 2: You'll be all right.
Speaker 20: Yes, in an absurd way, I don't have any fear
of what is to come, I'm quite quite okay right now, although.
Speaker 8: I am getting hungry. This is.
Speaker 20: A little frustrating to just slowly get hungry over the course.
Speaker 2: Of time, I suppose it would feel that way. I
rather enjoy the process of getting hungry. It is a
reminder that there is something good to come, as long
as I can get to that, which is why I'm
really hoping they'll get me a hot dog.
Speaker 16: This is when you smell a waft of hot dogs
coming and through the front door.
Speaker 2: Would you look at that.
Speaker 9: Right on time?
Speaker 21: The kid perfect, hey, watch his head, yeah yeah, okay,
do we have someone to put him some ass off?
Speaker 7: Maybe someone conjure a bed, that's right.
Speaker 1: Whereas has no idea. So when he said what's happening
over there? What are the doing? What he meant was
what was their objective and their goal? Not necessarily what
they're doing, but RaaS you do see as they walk in,
which one of you is carrying him? Okay, so Jude
is carrying Go ahead and roll for me because I
don't know. Okay, Like I want to say, you just
know instantly who it is because of your connection with lear,
But I don't know if your brain would go that's
not possible or anything like that.
Speaker 9: So yeah, I'll roll. Yeah, what would I roll for
that intuition?
Speaker 1: Yes, if you like, I think.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that's the best I can do with
that cab A shift.
Speaker 8: I do have a.
Speaker 9: Connection with Lear.
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 9: Eighty three partial.
Speaker 1: Ooh okay, so I think sorry Meyer, one second, I
will explain in just a moment, partial, I think you
have I think he just looks incredibly familiar to you,
and I think your first thought is of your brother,
but then for some reason you dismiss that thought. But
they are carrying a little seven year old who's completely
passed out, by the way, and if you'll remember when
Leir described the moment the stone hit him, everything went black,
so that is what's been happening. So she's carrying a
pasted out uh Leir. And I'm actually just going to
go ahead and address the question that you've posed to me, Meyer,
because I think other people might be wondering it as well,
and I'll just go ahead and confirm it for you. You
can be here if you would like to be whatever
Leir would do. But this isn't another Leir. When we
say only one at once, it's because there can't be
or there is difficulty when you've got two different reality
people in the same room. But this is you, So
you don't have to leave the room if you don't
want to, you can be present. But if Lear is
uncomfortable seeing himself at seven, I think that's fine too.
Speaker 12: Yes, I think I'm going to be away aside.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and as somebody in chap mentioned, this is why
you didn't overwrite yourself, because you are yourself and you're here.
Speaker 15: Right, yeah, I will be with Leah Jude.
Speaker 9: Who is that boy? Wh is he here?
Speaker 7: This is Lear?
Speaker 9: What do you mean? This is Leir? This Lea is.
Speaker 7: This is Leir. He was taken and brought to in
and grew up with us, lived the life with us,
became the layer that you know.
Speaker 9: We are taken a child to din Where where did
you find him at home? We took this boy from.
Speaker 8: A family.
Speaker 16: And we've done it before.
Speaker 9: I'm sorry, but I'm not understanding why we're doing this.
Speaker 7: Our Lear is here because we brought him to Dinn
before and it's the only way for him to be here,
to do this, to make Dinn. And we talked about
it and Lear made a decision that this is what
he wanted? Kah?
Speaker 9: And what of his family? Did I have a say
in this?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 2: I can answer that, yes, they will spend the rest
of their lives looking for their child, of which they
will never find.
Speaker 7: M.
Speaker 2: But I'm imagining you already knew that. Yes, it was
a hard choice that they have made, but it has
been made. So what lays before us is not a tyrant?
Speaker 8: Is it?
Speaker 14: Now?
Speaker 8: At least there'll be no more snarky comments towards me,
So there's always that.
Speaker 7: What do you mean?
Speaker 8: I suggest we never teach him to speak?
Speaker 7: I think the first thing I'm going to teach him
is how to say mage.
Speaker 8: Yes, it sounds about right.
Speaker 7: Can we provide a bed for him? Please?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I will try to conjure some sort of me
Maybe not a whole bed, but the very least something
they can rest on.
Speaker 7: Yeah, go ahead and roll.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I just wrong. Eight success?
Speaker 1: What happens? What does it look like?
Speaker 7: What do we see that.
Speaker 9: I think? I I feel guilty about taking this boy
from his family, and and I want to do at
least something to make it better, even if it's only
mid a skill. So I thought I conjured up a
bed as comfortable as it can be. It's the very
least is time with us away from that family is
as comfortable as possible. M I jested for dude to
set him down in the bed.
Speaker 7: I put him on the bed gently, softly, so I
think they would have found him, you know, the ones
looking for him. Maybe it's just me trying to come
up with reasons for why it's okay to do what
I did.
Speaker 2: But he's safe now, well not entirely safe. Still a
few steps for us to go. But I have my
hot dog.
Speaker 16: Please, yeah, And I go ahead, and I reach into
a plastic bag that has a bunch of hot dogs
wrapped in like uh you know that paper that's like
like half aluminum but like half paper. It's really weird.
They always wrap the hot dogs in those. And I
hand him one.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, And you got some for others. That's
a much better idea. And I open it started eating it.
Speaker 9: So could I have one Austraia, Yeah, I'd like one
of the bag on the table.
Speaker 16: I got you two, Titus, thank you.
Speaker 9: I turned to a roofair. You said, you're hungry.
Speaker 8: Yes, this is it looks nothing like a dog.
Speaker 3: Oh that'd be terrible.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's kind of the point, right.
Speaker 9: Wait, that's the point.
Speaker 6: It's not the point to not look like a dog.
You don't want that to look like a dog.
Speaker 2: No, we could go into the explanation not dog, gotcha? No? No, no,
well yes, actually well no old food that isn't dog
is not dogs.
Speaker 9: Yes, so that wouldn't be very specific. But I have,
by the way, just to let you all know, there
are some ranges trapped in there. Our maze worked.
Speaker 2: I have a question for you then before we move on?
Do you wish to release them?
Speaker 15: No?
Speaker 8: Okay, oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we will need to move on because we
are not quite safe. Leer isn't quite safe?
Speaker 9: Yes, So what is the plan next? Now that we
have this young layer and ours is not quite safe either?
Speaker 2: Where do we go to next? What place should we
go to next?
Speaker 16: Well, we need to relocate him to din.
Speaker 8: Yes, so.
Speaker 2: What are we waiting for?
Speaker 9: The only way I know back to dinner is a
lucky rabbit.
Speaker 6: No, man, that's oh it's hard to say, but in theory, absolutely.
Speaker 2: I'm sure we could conjure up something. What did someone
like to try?
Speaker 9: I suppose I could give it a try.
Speaker 1: If you wish I'm sorry, but I fucking hit your song.
I hit your theme song before you said I'm gonna
do it, because I knew you were gonna do it.
Speaker 8: Fuck.
Speaker 1: Sorry, go ahead, roll for it.
Speaker 9: Uh yeah, okay, from what I understand, and you told
me this, narrator, I have bits and pieces of the
memory of the other Resiros. And he traveled through realms
not with ease, but considerable ease compared to most. Yes,
so that would be a shift in that case.
Speaker 1: Yes, and.
Speaker 9: I am I want to reach out to the walking Woods, okay,
as an anchor point, as somewhere I'm aiming for. They
five years ago in dinn at the least, they recognized
me to the point that they all bowed before me.
I didn't understand why then, and frankly pretend to understand
why now. But I want to use that as a point,
a landing point.
Speaker 1: Holy shit, Yes, okay, Yeah, you can also have a shift.
Why was I going to give you a shift?
Speaker 6: Are you meaning him because I'm here? Probably?
Speaker 1: No, I mean, yes, we could give him a shift,
but I was going to give him no matter if
he had twenty, I was going to give him ten
extra for something. And I've already forgotten what it was
because it was so oh, because you're at a crossroads.
I'm at a crossroad. Okay, and here you go, here's
your shift.
Speaker 9: Oh boy, this could go terribly great but terribly wrong. Okay, okay, fifty.
Speaker 1: P fifty right on the line. Okay, I know why
this fails. If you would like to let me take
over the narrative, I'll give you something fucking awesome for it.
Speaker 9: You even need to get. I mean, I'll take something, will.
Speaker 1: Say, sure, Okay, it's not bribery, it's equal trade. Okay.
I need you to roll again for me, and I
need you to roll your magic. Okay, and the shifts
same same shift as last time, which is your thirty
shift n partial success. Okay. Here's what happens. And I
cannot believe that your roles just line up with us.
You go to Anchor point to the walking wood, but
the walking wood isn't made yet because you didn't add
anything to Din. Your next role adds the walking wood
to Din. However, it's a partial success. They can't walk yet,
so eventually they will end up picking up and walking in.
They bow to you because they recognize the creator.
Speaker 16: It's a baby Wood.
Speaker 9: I did add to Den though, what did.
Speaker 1: You add to Din?
Speaker 5: The Rain?
Speaker 14: Oh?
Speaker 1: Okay, but they're not there yet, So I'm gonna just
say you add them now because it's too fucking badass, dude,
it's too good. You gotta do it, Okay. But this
means that you can anchor to them if you'd like,
because now they're inded.
Speaker 9: So I think what you see is I close my
eyes and reach out, and I tried to push past
the veil of this realm, and I begin to see
the threads that come out of Din, from every single person,
living creature, inanimate creature in then, and I recognize the
threads that came from the Walking Wood, and I grabbing them,
and I connect them to our space so we can essentially,
for lack of a better term, walk along those ropes
to the walking work.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, I love this. Who are they singing to?
Does the Walking Wood sings like strange whale songs? I
have had an answer prior to this, but I'm just
going to take that, Laura away, and allow you to
take over, because you've now created the Walking Wood. So
do you know the song that they're singing? And do
you know who they sing to.
Speaker 9: I think when they first when I first saw the
Walking Wood, I didn't know the song. I didn't know
who they were singing to. It was a thing that
was told through generations as a story. But I think
now I think, I I know that they're singing to me,
and I think it's because of the rain and the
water I brought to grow them that they see me
as I suppose they're parents, that I brought them to life,
and that was their way of thanking me and for everyone.
But maybe a roofair you can see very clearly the
rift that we have to walk through before we can
get to the Walking Wood. I would have to guide
a roof air because they don't have their eyes for
the magic anymore. But it's almost like a perfect tear
in space.
Speaker 1: Now this was a partial success. Would end anyone like
to roll to try to make this portal a little
bit more stable? Any one? I okay, I yep, you can.
Speaker 7: The thing is is that I don't think like I
do alchemy, so I don't know in what way I
could make this portal more stable other than trying to
stabilize the portal atoms.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I will do that.
Speaker 7: I guess all right, go ahead.
Speaker 2: Do you have a shift.
Speaker 7: I don't think so. Actually, I don't think I or
maybe there's like a negative shift, because I was.
Speaker 1: Going to give you of my imagine a shift, so
I was hoping that you would be like it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, yeah, sakes failure?
Speaker 1: What happens?
Speaker 7: I think maybe I make it less stable? Okay, maybe
there's a time limit on it now. Ah okay, like
it's yeah half life or something.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, there's the time.
Speaker 2: I'll put out my hand and I'll I'll look at
you it and say I can't stop the time, but
I can make it stable enough.
Speaker 3: For us for now.
Speaker 2: But we will have to hurry. Okay, I'm sorry, No, no,
never be sorry for trying.
Speaker 9: You should get.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, before we grab them, someone needs to carry
this layer through.
Speaker 8: Who would like to do that?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 7: I think it should be Vega. I brought him here,
and I think there's something meaningful about her bringing him
the rest of the way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very good, vega.
Speaker 12: Him?
Speaker 2: Did you get a hot dog?
Speaker 11: I don't have to wait to try on?
Speaker 14: No, come on, hey, huh wait a duke? Do you
have maybe go and sit with leir? I just I
don't want him to be alone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a child, not a child.
Speaker 14: You're a friend I care about you. Are we leaving?
Speaker 7: Yes, then there's a bit of a time limit, so
there's a small rush.
Speaker 12: Oh, then let's let's go. I okay, let's go either way.
Speaker 2: Well, let's do it properly. Aga, you're not going to
be carrying young leer there. Let's see who who does
go first?
Speaker 8: What do you mean.
Speaker 2: Someone has to be first, someone has to be last.
I know who is last, but I can't remember who's first.
Speaker 9: I can go first at very least. Maybe I can
keep it a bit more stable from the other side
as well, if need be.
Speaker 12: If he's going in first, then I suppose it's only
prudent if I go next. I'll go a second. Actually,
of course, after you mate.
Speaker 7: Before we go, do we have how long do we have?
Speaker 3: Mmm?
Speaker 2: A few minutes? I imagine. Would you like a timer? No,
it's okay, I would have liked to have done that.
Speaker 1: It's fine, all right, Okay, where is going through? Go
ahead and roll for me. I'm assuming that Austraia will
be somewhere near ras in this list. Correct, Okay?
Speaker 16: Yeah, I didn't want to interrupt, but I'm definitely following
raz very closely as well.
Speaker 9: What do you need to roll?
Speaker 1: You're gonna roll your magic, and then you're gonna roll
something related to your mind, like any sort of defense
as you're going through here defense?
Speaker 9: Okay, any shifts for my magic?
Speaker 7: Rong?
Speaker 1: Yes, you can have ten shifts?
Speaker 9: Okay, seven success.
Speaker 1: What happens?
Speaker 9: I think it's a case of I step through and
it's it's almost like a tunnel. You see the space
between for a moment, you see multiple threads coming out
of the planes that were traveling across, and I think
you see how Razov sees magic as these threads. Most
people wouldn't you understand that To him everything seems to
be connected in some way, and he's been able to
understand how to manipulate them from a distance. And I
think I see why dudes, magic might have gave it
a half life, and I patched that up as I
go along.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm also going to say that, because this was
so wonderful, everyone can have a ten shift on top
of whatever other bullshit you guys come up with for
your own shifts for going through.
Speaker 9: And now the mind. I guess the best I have
is conceal.
Speaker 1: You could also add the shift that you just gave
to yourself here as well. Okay, thirty one partial Okay,
I will tell you after, So go ahead and go through.
He goes through. Who's next? I think Human Boy said
he was going, all right, oh boy, So you gotta
go ahead and roll your mind.
Speaker 2: Okay, hold his hand tightly, tightly.
Speaker 1: You have the ten shift from RAS.
Speaker 9: To give another shift, because I will be holding the
rufe's hand.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you have a twenty shift.
Speaker 8: Okay.
Speaker 20: I glance back at Blackbird as he says that, and
then I'm dragged throw because Ras is stronger than me.
Speaker 13: Sixty seven partial success Victor.
Speaker 1: I'm going to assume that it's either Lear or Raya.
Speaker 12: That's next, right, I'm going to let Razrath and his
words go first.
Speaker 16: Ye yeah, I'll be stepping through next, but I'll make
sure that I take a look at everyone that's still
there for really digest them.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. Roll a soul stat of something that you have.
Speaker 6: Mm hmm.
Speaker 16: I've got general social or influence. I'm not sure which
would be applicable.
Speaker 1: Let's roll a one dye too.
Speaker 16: One.
Speaker 1: We'll go with the first one and it'll just determine
what information I give you how I give it to you.
Speaker 16: Alrighty, is there any sort of a shift on this?
Speaker 1: You have the ten shift from raz gotcha?
Speaker 9: Okay?
Speaker 16: Fifty one partial?
Speaker 1: Your eyes fall on Titus and Jude a little bit
longer before you step through?
Speaker 16: And should I also be rolling for going through?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 16: Is my illusion? Okay?
Speaker 7: For that?
Speaker 16: Or should I be doing something like intuition?
Speaker 1: Illusion is perfect? Oh my god?
Speaker 16: One one critical success?
Speaker 1: Oh right, you guys can't see this. I'm on it.
I'm on it. I'm on it, y'all. I'm on it.
I'll just hide myself. Okay, you've rolled a one. I
already know what this is for, so I'm gonna use
it if you don't mind. But I'll tell you in
a minute what happens. Okay, but describe what it's like
when you go through this. I this is I think
I feel like the scene before we had our neo
moment where you like woke up and you knew exactly
who you were, and you know the power that you've
had this whole time, and you know you've put yourself
in a state of superposition and now you're no longer
that way, you're solid in your hole and now you're
just like superhero sort of. So you just are like, yes, I.
Speaker 8: Can do this.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Because you're essentially like rolling with
the power of two people. Now, so that's in my brain,
that's my head canon. But anyway, what does it look like?
Speaker 16: As I'm stepping through, you would notice the other Astraia
just start to flicker next to me, and then she'll
take my hand and go through with me.
Speaker 1: Okay, oh boy, right, who is next?
Speaker 18: I looked at her and say, you all should go
before me. If I get stuck here, it's not a
big deal. But trust me, you guys should go.
Speaker 12: I don't understand what you're saying. Titus, you belong with them.
Speaker 2: Go no, no, let him play the hero. Listen, we
have two layers here that need to go through. We
can just bitch about it. Go ahead, okay.
Speaker 8: All right.
Speaker 12: I walk up to the portal and wait a moment
until I see Jude in Vega nearby. I'm I'm gonna
try and interlock my arms into theirs, even though beggars
carrying some child and uh, go, I don't look at
young Leah. I I don't have any convictions against what
we're doing here. It's just it's just so weird, it's
so different.
Speaker 15: So I think you would struggle to link arms with
vegga okay, carrying.
Speaker 12: A child, Okay, But in that case, I.
Speaker 1: Go, you don't have to roll because she baga rolled
at one and basically there's a residual effect. You can
go through with no problem.
Speaker 8: Okay, And I go.
Speaker 7: Go ahead, can you take it, begger?
Speaker 8: Okay?
Speaker 15: And I take a look at this child that I've
gently picked up my arms, and I'm not walking.
Speaker 14: I am floating again right now. As I try and
be as gentle.
Speaker 7: As I can, and as she moves away quickly before
she does, I'm gonna give her a quick kiss and
say see you on the other side.
Speaker 15: Sniffle a little bit, you see her, just a tear
rolled down her cheek.
Speaker 14: A little.
Speaker 6: Yeah, lucky m Yes, you want to call our apprenticeship over, now,
that's up to you, all right, And dya float up
and with a little bit of magic that I have
attached myself to vegas belt.
Speaker 14: Okay, all right, I guess yes for a team.
Speaker 6: Now, now you kind of did this to me, so
you can take the blame for.
Speaker 15: That one, and I smile a little bit, but I
actually just solve a tiny bit harder hearing him say that,
and I walk through with Leah.
Speaker 1: You can roll for me. Please roll your regular role
and then roll some sort of mental protection.
Speaker 15: I'm gonna have a plus twenty for my regular role
because I added the magic to tin. That is my
own flavor of magic that I understand that I'm in
tune with.
Speaker 1: Yep, and plus don't forget you get the tin from rest.
So now you got thirty.
Speaker 14: Oh, thirty it's partial okay, eighty.
Speaker 1: Six yeah, and then your magical protection.
Speaker 14: Fifty one.
Speaker 1: I'll you after Okay. So I think what happens here
is not again. Sometimes when we get a partial, it
doesn't mean that we fail what we're doing. It just
means there are other consequences to it. And I just think,
unless you can think of something else, I feel like
it's anxiety inducing for you to bring little Leer through here.
You get through, okay, but there's just an anxiety bubbling
in you, and I think you think it's because of this.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 15: I am racked with guilt right now, ok feeling absolutely
terrible in every way.
Speaker 14: So I just attribute it to that and fear.
Speaker 1: Okay, but you make it through.
Speaker 7: Who's next?
Speaker 2: I turned towards Jute a nice smile, and then I
turn towards Titus, and I say, lay the hero. That
was a good one, and then I walk through.
Speaker 7: You go, it's better if I take up the rear.
Speaker 11: You're you're sure?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I can clear it out better. It's a good
position for me.
Speaker 10: I look over to the maze and then back to June.
I swore alone together, right, Yeah. I turned to step
into the portal, and before I do, I glance over
my shoulder once more and just.
Speaker 12: Sterot, Jude, Jude, go ahead and roll?
Speaker 7: What am I rolling?
Speaker 1: Magical observation or a regular observation? Or actually, don't you
have a skill that's like unwavering not unwavering loyalty, But
you have something else similar to that in your mind?
Don't you like resolve?
Speaker 6: I have?
Speaker 7: I am controlled that one? Do that one? Any shift?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got your ten from uh Raz, You've got
your you've got another ten. And if you can come
up with a reason, I will, you know, I will accept.
Speaker 7: But I know Titus extremely well.
Speaker 1: All right, you can have a thirty shift ninety five failure.
It is a fraction of a second. You see blood
pooling from Titus's mouth. You know, if he goes through
this portal, he is going to change into the homunculous form.
In fact, it may be happening right now. The closer
he gets to this portal, I.
Speaker 7: Rush forward, I grab him, I pull him through that
portal and I close the portal.
Speaker 6: Please r.
Speaker 7: What do you do, Jude? I throw him away from
the portoline closet. He can't get through.
Speaker 1: But now, what do you do?
Speaker 7: I will kill him, and that's all I know what
to do. Next, I draw my sword from my back.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I okay, And we're back and we're just gonna We're
just gonna do this, Dan, you and I are. We're
gonna cozy up next to each other because once again,
I'm running a show.
Speaker 2: With so many people.
Speaker 11: I go back to if you need more.
Speaker 9: No no no no no no no no no no.
Speaker 7: No no no no no no no no. We're good.
Speaker 16: We're we got it.
Speaker 1: We're gonna swish ourselves together. It's totally fine. We got it.
We got this, all right. Who's first? After that?

just really good at everything. It's really infuriating everyone around me.
I'm gonna take two seconds and, out of character, drop
something that I realized.
Speaker 11: I think it was yesterday.
Speaker 18: Originally I had Titus wearing a different necklace, and I
changed it when we went into uh pine stat and
got that information from the computers, and I was like, okay,
steal one out of PB's book, because Peb's great and
does very amazing subtle things.
Speaker 11: So I was like, I'm gonna steal one of those.
Speaker 18: Come to find that this necklace that I made that
I have put very little effort into observing, is of
Saint Jude.
Speaker 5: That's all.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, curse.
Speaker 8: This show is cursed.
Speaker 11: Yep, big, big time curse called.

Thank god. I have so many people to carry this
show for me, and I had a wonderful time today.
I hope you all did too. I put this thing
on hours ago, underneath this one, with the hopes that
I would have a reason to pull it off. For
no reason at all, it got me and then yeah,
yeah it was silly. I felt like we needed just
a wee bit of silly. But anyway, I had a
wonderful time today. I'm very very interested in next week.
