3:19
SPEAKER_00: the next night we hit Lucky Lees and we crushed it we crushed it

3:41
SPEAKER_03: howdy uh jacob looks up the crowd and sees debut king along
3:46

4:24
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
4:27

4:27
SPEAKER_01: A couple of, I guess, upkeep questions.
4:33

4:36
SPEAKER_01: It's not a long drive.
4:38
SPEAKER_01: couple hours from grand junction
4:43
SPEAKER_01: however i believe that jacob told you all
4:49
SPEAKER_01: that something was after you or someone something didn't work a little freaked out
4:53
SPEAKER_01: at the moment
4:56
SPEAKER_01: knowing this do you drive to denver you know
5:03
SPEAKER_01: with occasional double bag hide in the car for a day or so or
5:08
SPEAKER_01: are we taking the straight right there get there as quick
5:12
SPEAKER_01: as you can hopefully find somewhere to sleep and then begin denver
5:17
SPEAKER_01: the next night just want to know what's what
5:21
SPEAKER_02: yeah robin robin's plan is to go
5:25
SPEAKER_02: the straight route just because the faster they get there the less of
5:29
SPEAKER_02: a chance they run into someone
5:31
SPEAKER_02: but she's always going to be checking her mirrors checking all over to see
5:38
SPEAKER_02: if someone's following her I like that Logan,
5:45
SPEAKER_01: Jacob are you two going to do anything specific during the ride to Denver?
5:54
SPEAKER_03: Keep an eye out as well make sure there's no one seemingly tailing us
6:03
SPEAKER_00: Logan is gonna watch like coyly watch Jacob the entire drive
6:12
SPEAKER_00: maybe looking down
6:13
SPEAKER_00: at her phone maybe not occasionally like you know I'm playing Candy Crush don't do
6:23
SPEAKER_01: when you are you looking for something specific when you look at Jacob I just
6:30
SPEAKER_00: i think that logan saw jacob afraid and um she wants she wants more assurance
6:41
SPEAKER_03: and object experiments can get got it
6:47
SPEAKER_03: remind us jacob how hungry are you i am
6:54
SPEAKER_03: at hunger for you are always at hunger
7:00
SPEAKER_03: i wonder why
7:04
SPEAKER_01: all right so here's the situation you've left grand junction and are on
7:12
SPEAKER_01: the road it's not too late at night right it's maybe 12 31 o'clock in
7:18
SPEAKER_01: the morning you'll make it to denver in just enough time maybe
7:26
SPEAKER_01: as you drive logan
7:29
SPEAKER_01: please give me a dice pool of your I'm going to call it
7:41
SPEAKER_01: your wits and insight
7:43
SPEAKER_01: or give me composure and insight to kind of check in on Jacob
7:52
SPEAKER_01: Jacob
7:54
SPEAKER_01: i would like a composure resolve roll from you at a difficulty two and

8:29
SPEAKER_01: with two successes jacob
8:34
SPEAKER_01: give me a dice pool
8:36
SPEAKER_01: of your also your witness awareness with no penalty because you are
8:41
SPEAKER_01: in control enough that you're not like freaking out while you're hungry
8:51
SPEAKER_03: one success
8:56
SPEAKER_01: Logan you're looking at Jacob and you can see what you've seen a lot lately Jacob is
9:05
SPEAKER_01: a fairly composed individual but since this road trip began the
9:14
SPEAKER_01: beast has simmered
9:16
SPEAKER_01: at the surface quite often for Jacob which is
9:22
SPEAKER_01: maybe a little unusual but you can see the hunger there that need there Jacob's
9:28
SPEAKER_01: in control but it sits right underneath just waiting to lash out Robin just kind
9:37
SPEAKER_01: of look around in your rear view maybe you can see that
9:42
SPEAKER_01: there's no one behind you like no one's actively hailing you i should say you come
9:47
SPEAKER_01: across a car that's behind you you know taking the same winding path through
9:51
SPEAKER_01: the mountains as you make your way to denver but nothing
9:55
SPEAKER_01: that stands out like deliberately keeping like pace
9:58
SPEAKER_01: with you sometimes they're closer sometimes far behind they get off at
10:01
SPEAKER_01: an exit another car replaces it like it's just one
10:03
SPEAKER_01: of those things you people are also driving in between plitties or
10:07
SPEAKER_01: on their way home whatever the case may be
10:10
SPEAKER_01: this night
10:11
SPEAKER_01: but nothing specifically tailing you it's your guys's scene take it away
10:19
SPEAKER_03: Jacob
10:22
SPEAKER_03: yes
10:23
SPEAKER_03: um
10:25
SPEAKER_03: you look hungry
10:28
SPEAKER_03: you're bloody well correct in this moment she's gonna pull up
10:35
SPEAKER_03: a sleeve would you you know
10:44
SPEAKER_03: i just know that um whatever happens i could stop you but um
10:53
SPEAKER_03: if things get you know dodgy with a person i don't know do you do you want
11:03
SPEAKER_03: to wait i should be fine
11:09
SPEAKER_03: okay i've got control over myself for now i trust that you'll be able to stop me
11:13
SPEAKER_03: if anything bad happens bogan's gonna sidle up to like sit next to jacob
11:22
SPEAKER_00: and lean her head on jacob's shoulder i've got you were you saying robin sorry
11:36
SPEAKER_02: Robin although she was going to mention that nobody's following her she kind
11:41
SPEAKER_02: of looks in the rearview mirror angling it down to see the two of them and decides
11:48
SPEAKER_02: to keep quiet for now is nodding her head
11:53
SPEAKER_01: Robin you would know that you have hours
11:58
SPEAKER_01: yet before you'll come across
12:03
SPEAKER_01: like before you make it to denver so there's other than like fabricating
12:08
SPEAKER_01: a problem like getting caught on the side of the road and
12:11
SPEAKER_01: then maybe tricking someone letting you feed
12:13
SPEAKER_01: which has its own dangers there's really not an opportunity to go
12:17
SPEAKER_01: through you are deep in the mountains on this mountain pass your phones if you were
12:22
SPEAKER_01: to look at them there's almost no cell service it comes in
12:26
SPEAKER_01: and out everything is you are truly
12:32
SPEAKER_01: in the middle of nowhere as you are traveling between two places is there anything
12:39
SPEAKER_01: that you all want to do or have happen while you travel anything you want to upkeep
12:45
SPEAKER_01: on while you're doing this
12:49
SPEAKER_03: after a little while jacob would check out his guitar
12:53
SPEAKER_03: to make sure there's no nothing wrong with it especially after
12:58
SPEAKER_03: the scuffle what occurred
13:03
SPEAKER_01: give me intelligence and...
13:09
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna say... Give me intelligence and performance.
13:17
SPEAKER_03: Your specialty, I think, will apply here.
13:21
SPEAKER_03: I'm going to...
13:27
SPEAKER_03: Two successes possible, be sure.
13:30
SPEAKER_01: Nothing is...
13:33
SPEAKER_01: catastrophically right a couple of strings are frayed at
13:38
SPEAKER_01: the end you can see like you might you know play a few uh from
13:43
SPEAKER_01: a few times see what's what's a little attitude you know having to move it around
13:47
SPEAKER_01: that way you guys haven't really had an opportunity to like upkeep
13:52
SPEAKER_01: on your instruments you can take some time to do that if you want logan you can um
13:58
SPEAKER_01: you know kind of reset your drums where you want them
14:01
SPEAKER_01: to you know tighten some fittings robin you're driving but if you trust jacob
14:06
SPEAKER_01: to do it uh he might be able to tune your guitar a little i don't know
14:11
SPEAKER_02: if you do yeah she'll she'll allow him to
14:19
SPEAKER_03: jacob make me two dice pools of your
14:25
SPEAKER_01: i'm gonna call it again i think intelligence and i i want
14:31
SPEAKER_01: to say craft here that's what i'm going to say intelligence
14:34
SPEAKER_01: and craft you know i like if you rolled it already let's do
14:40
SPEAKER_03: that you can
14:45
SPEAKER_03: also give me wits and craft
15:02
SPEAKER_01: one of them is going to go horribly wrong and the other one is going to go
15:07
SPEAKER_01: a little bad if you want to do the same you can also give me wits and craft
15:16
SPEAKER_01: or intelligence and craft
15:19
SPEAKER_00: I have to reset everything whenever it gets moved anyway just to check
15:23
SPEAKER_00: so leave it be to see if there's anything
15:29
SPEAKER_03: that needs replacing otherwise
15:33
SPEAKER_01: nothing is necessary got it if you want
15:37
SPEAKER_01: to examine I mean again if you're doing this give me wits and performance Jacob
15:45
SPEAKER_01: as your storyteller I will give you the options
15:50
SPEAKER_01: whose guitar do you want to uh potentially and utterly destroy your own
15:57
SPEAKER_01: or robin's
16:03
SPEAKER_03: oh we'll go with his okay
16:13
SPEAKER_01: you take some time no you know robin gave you
16:16
SPEAKER_01: the okay to work on it you do
16:19
SPEAKER_01: get it back
16:20
SPEAKER_01: in tune give nice polish change out any frayed strings it goes okay you know maybe
16:28
SPEAKER_01: not up to like the stairs that you would normally like for this
16:33
SPEAKER_01: but anything you know cosmetically wrong you take care of it however when you get
16:41
SPEAKER_01: to your own what's going on that this goes so horrifically badly
16:48
SPEAKER_03: as
16:51
SPEAKER_03: Jacob is sorting out his guitar the paranoia from the people in his mind from
17:03
SPEAKER_03: the recent gig they played kind of keeps going in
17:09
SPEAKER_03: and out throwing his attention away maybe freaking out a bit too much because of
17:15
SPEAKER_03: the beast
17:19
SPEAKER_03: and just snaps neck by pure accidents you're driving you know it takes time
17:25
SPEAKER_01: to do these things so it's a little while longer and robin even
17:29
SPEAKER_01: though your back is turned and you can you could but you can hear it
17:32
SPEAKER_01: when it happens logan you as well maybe you're you know
17:36
SPEAKER_01: on your phone scrolling you can hear like the snapping of wood and metal and plastic
17:43
SPEAKER_01: as the neck of jacob's guitar literally cracks in half
17:49
SPEAKER_03: oh shit
17:53
SPEAKER_03: jacob
17:58
SPEAKER_03: i'd rather not talk
17:59

18:05
SPEAKER_03: wasn't yours
18:08
SPEAKER_03: um logan oh god no continue
18:18
SPEAKER_03: i may have freaked out a bit
18:23
SPEAKER_03: and put a
18:26
SPEAKER_03: bit too much emphasis
18:29
SPEAKER_03: on
18:31
SPEAKER_02: sort fixing my guitar great great great great great great great great amazing
18:39
SPEAKER_03: perfect um logan's going to grab jacob's hands to check that
18:47
SPEAKER_03: he's not injured there's some cuts but kindreds like there's some cuts
18:54
SPEAKER_03: on Jacob's hands but he's not really paying attention to that
19:02
SPEAKER_03: nor does he really care
19:04
SPEAKER_03: about it I think what's it Logan's just pure kindred instinct is like you let
19:13

19:25
SPEAKER_01: Jacob Logan's licking your hand Robin all these things are happening right Robin's
19:31

19:47
SPEAKER_01: what's what talk to us it's broken I want to know what's going on with Jacob Jacob
19:56
SPEAKER_03: in his mind he is
20:00
SPEAKER_03: trying to remain composed in this moment as much as he can so he's
20:09
SPEAKER_03: so maybe he places his hands into his jacket pockets to kind of hide them clutching
20:18
SPEAKER_03: balling his fist up and just trying to not think
20:24
SPEAKER_03: about what he has accidentally done this is what has kept him going for eight years
20:35
SPEAKER_03: but this guitar has been in his own life for a fair few years
20:41
SPEAKER_03: and would rather not leave it behind
20:48

55:40
SPEAKER_01: completely blindfolded and having seen a person one time the arms are like
55:49
SPEAKER_01: grotesquely like off like one that's in the wrong direction the skin is loose around
55:56
SPEAKER_01: the face the neck is crazy elongated the like the feet like are or the legs like
56:02
SPEAKER_01: where the joints are have almost like too many like as it it looks like it's walking
56:08
SPEAKER_01: but as it does like the knee bends backwards and forwards
56:13
SPEAKER_01: and it's like it twitches back and forth and in your head you hear are you happy
56:22
SPEAKER_01: and it whatever it is snaps its head to look at you sees you and
56:27
SPEAKER_02: then disappears what the fuck she's like she's like keeping her head dead straight

57:20
SPEAKER_01: if sunrise is at like 6 35 you know you'd probably get there at like 5 50 kind
57:27
SPEAKER_01: of thing you would get there with almost no time however when you do pull into
57:32
SPEAKER_01: the city proper it's a a little after four o'clock in
57:36
SPEAKER_01: the morning this little path he gave you shaved off nearly an hour and a half um
57:45
SPEAKER_01: and Denver as you kind of see it before you is just a little it's strange now
57:52
SPEAKER_01: that you've kind of like pulled into it the city sprawls out in front of you
57:59
SPEAKER_01: in every direction but it because it's built up against
58:04
SPEAKER_01: the mountain like there's nothing here on this side you can see like you know
58:11
SPEAKER_01: the neighborhood you've sort of pulled into it's not that it's
58:15
SPEAKER_01: dead or anything like that it's just like you can see the rest of the city from
58:19
SPEAKER_01: a distance has like you know it's a city it's got big lights you can see you know
58:23
SPEAKER_01: the occasional skyscraper but there's no city skyline so to say like there's just
58:29
SPEAKER_01: the occasional big ass skyscraper and then you know a mile and a half down
58:33
SPEAKER_01: the road there's another one so there's nothing like fleeting about the skyline
58:40
SPEAKER_01: and where you are in comparison to the rest of the city you can see that there are
58:44
SPEAKER_01: a lot of um
58:48
SPEAKER_01: abandoned homes there's a lot of
58:54
SPEAKER_01: you can call them like distilleries
58:56
SPEAKER_01: or manufacturers like factories uh trail like train lines that are just shut down
59:04
SPEAKER_01: the place doesn't have an air of neglect as much as it does abandonment
59:10
SPEAKER_01: you can see that there are a lot of homeless tents around and as you kind of drive
59:17
SPEAKER_01: through this you know the main avenue it's it becomes more and more evident
59:22
SPEAKER_01: that there is a disparity here between those who have and those who do not have um
59:32
SPEAKER_01: even the people who have like who the ones who are in their homes you could see
59:35
SPEAKER_01: that there are some really really nice houses here and then the house right next
59:41
SPEAKER_01: to it is abandoned right whoever was couldn't afford it's just for sale signs all
59:47
SPEAKER_01: over the place um there are as you're driving
59:53
SPEAKER_01: three cars or two cars and on a motorcycle come like screaming past you one is like
1:00:00
SPEAKER_01: an evil Lancer the other ones like a like an old foxglove and
1:00:06
SPEAKER_01: the other is it's it's gotta be some sort of like illegal motorcycle

SPEAKER_01: the way it just takes off ahead of the other two cars
1:00:14
SPEAKER_01: and they just go running past you
1:00:19
SPEAKER_01: and as you kind of look further in and take a look down this thing you can see
1:00:23
SPEAKER_01: that even amongst the homeless you can see one person on top
1:00:29
SPEAKER_01: of another like just feeding in the open like in the middle of the street on

SPEAKER_01: dilated to the point there's almost like no white left in your eye and every
1:43:07
SPEAKER_01: the sky is like the moon is big and full it's crisp cold air you can smell it on
1:43:17
SPEAKER_01: the wind and out from the lobby area comes robin holding this like aerosol can and
1:43:23
SPEAKER_01: then jake up like a few steps behind and you remember just for a moment the taste
1:43:30
SPEAKER_01: of robin's blood
1:43:34
SPEAKER_01: the three of you are together i'm gonna give you guys a scene and
1:43:38
SPEAKER_01: then give tell you what roles you need to make
1:43:40
SPEAKER_02: as you do things robin's plan is immediately to run and find the nearest sewer drain
1:43:47
SPEAKER_02: to not only puncture it but throw it into the sewer to get it out
1:43:54
SPEAKER_03: of their view obviously i'm trying to take it back obviously you're trying
1:43:59
SPEAKER_02: to take it back jacob you're not thinking right
1:44:05
SPEAKER_03: it will be fine you are not fine it will be fine just trust me i think logan's gonna
1:44:14
SPEAKER_03: start with
1:44:18
SPEAKER_00: what's logan gonna do i think logan's gonna start
1:44:22
SPEAKER_00: with jacob like her usual dish um i'm just gonna grab jacob's shoulder
1:44:31
SPEAKER_00: and um be like
1:44:34
SPEAKER_01: hold up a second jacob um jacob i need
1:44:41
SPEAKER_01: if you're not gonna stop you're obviously you're after this aerosol camp so i need
1:44:46
SPEAKER_01: a dice pool from you i need your at your dex athletics and logan
1:44:52
SPEAKER_01: as jacob probably tries to like evade your grip i need strength and brawl
1:44:55
SPEAKER_03: from you oh god
1:45:02
SPEAKER_03: if i get another messy or beast she'll i'm gonna lose it okay i got five five
1:45:10
SPEAKER_01: as you try to evade jacob logan's got their arm around you they're holding you by
1:45:16
SPEAKER_01: the shoulder you can't escape her grip is strong what happens um logan's just gonna
1:45:24
SPEAKER_00: say hold still dear and i think like the way she says it
1:45:31
SPEAKER_00: sounds just a little bit like sloan like the the picture of power
1:45:37
SPEAKER_00: in her mind has come to the fore and so she says hold still dear and she's going
1:45:44
SPEAKER_00: to try and slake from jacob unless um mania you're not cool with
1:45:49
SPEAKER_03: that go ahead
1:45:54
SPEAKER_03: how much do you intend to take
1:45:59
SPEAKER_00: um well this is just the like you know this is just the taste you know you've got
1:46:04
SPEAKER_00: to have a little something before you go to the main course so i'm gonna go
1:46:09
SPEAKER_00: a little appetizer so i'm just gonna slake one um and then i'm i'm going
1:46:18
SPEAKER_00: to just kind of like push away from uh push away from jake like
1:46:26
SPEAKER_00: whether they land on their ass
1:46:27
SPEAKER_00: or not is not really her concern you easily you just like a hung girl jacob is this
1:46:37
SPEAKER_01: against against your will is it not you have other things on your mind
1:46:41
SPEAKER_01: but logan grabs you stops you and just tells you to hold still and without waiting
1:46:48
SPEAKER_01: for a response just takes a bite that the way she said it
1:46:54
SPEAKER_01: is very reminiscent of sloan how does jacob feel that would freak him the fuck out
1:47:06
SPEAKER_03: in the moment and kind of snap out of any mind control or drug in this very moment
1:47:14
SPEAKER_03: for even for like second as he kind of
1:47:22
SPEAKER_03: remembers moments with sloan
1:47:27
SPEAKER_01: your focus is no longer on this drug and logan saying
1:47:33
SPEAKER_01: the way she said it the fact that she didn't wait for
1:47:35
SPEAKER_01: an answer like she always does it snaps you out right it's it's like
1:47:41
SPEAKER_01: you're drunk and then you just like something happens
1:47:43
SPEAKER_01: and you're instantly sober it's the same feeling we can still feel it in your system
1:47:48
SPEAKER_01: but you are like clear of mind
1:47:50
SPEAKER_01: as maybe you look do you look horrified how do you look when you see logan feeding
1:47:55
SPEAKER_01: from you what's the expression on your face hey guys quick reminder to leave a like
1:48:00
SPEAKER_01: a comment and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us thanks for a second it is
1:48:08
SPEAKER_03: confusion from suddenly being snapped back into reality and hearing
1:48:15
SPEAKER_03: the same way his sire used to say it and then to complete shock and fear as he
1:48:29
SPEAKER_01: as he tried to push away Logan as you go to push Jacob away Jacob
1:48:37
SPEAKER_01: goes and tries to push you away in that moment you can see jacob's face
1:48:43
SPEAKER_01: and it is one of fear and confusion and shock just a mess of emotions and you have
1:48:54
SPEAKER_01: a moment of you have a choice to make i'm gonna give you i'm gonna roll
1:48:58
SPEAKER_01: the dice i'm just gonna put it in your hands
1:49:01
SPEAKER_01: both are gonna have their own consequences you're caught in this moment you want
1:49:05
SPEAKER_01: that drug you've had it you know what's what you are free to be vampire
1:49:11
SPEAKER_01: but jacob is looking at you in a way that he's not ever looked at you
1:49:16
SPEAKER_01: before it's horrible to see you know what i mean what takes precedent
1:49:25
SPEAKER_01: in logan's mind right now is it the drug or is it jacob so like
1:49:32
SPEAKER_00: the drug is what's pressing to like significant parts of Logan but Jacob is as close
1:49:42
SPEAKER_00: to religion as Logan has
1:49:46
SPEAKER_00: she feels like she has like the look on Jacob's face
1:49:52
SPEAKER_00: if there's any part of Logan that is even a little bit aware instantly strikes her
1:49:58
SPEAKER_00: with the feeling of like a catholic sin
1:50:01
SPEAKER_00: like instant catholic guilt um and jacob is always going to be the priority um
1:50:13
SPEAKER_00: because they're like they're bonded
1:50:17
SPEAKER_03: they are
1:50:21
SPEAKER_01: the same that feeling it's in the both
1:50:23
SPEAKER_01: of you however in this moment the two of you look at one another
1:50:31
SPEAKER_01: maybe you see something there that you didn't see i'm going to give you guys a scene
1:50:34
SPEAKER_01: in a minute but as a result of you kind of turning away from the drug
1:50:40
SPEAKER_01: and you still feel in their system you guys are going to have
1:50:43
SPEAKER_01: a bad next night it's not going to feel great to be you that's what i'm going
1:50:48
SPEAKER_01: to tell you it's you're not going to feel great uh but i'm going to come back
1:50:53
SPEAKER_01: and give you guys a scene after robin you've got this cam you run
1:51:01
SPEAKER_01: towards the sewer jacob is no longer pursuing you and it's not again it's
1:51:06
SPEAKER_01: a street sewer you want to break this thing open and dump it in
1:51:09
SPEAKER_02: the sewer yeah what she does is she first covers her mouth and everything
1:51:18
SPEAKER_02: with her jacket like uses the sleeves to tie it behind her head as like
1:51:23
SPEAKER_02: a makeshift kind of mask and then grabs her trusty pocket stake
1:51:30
SPEAKER_02: and then stabs the end of it letting it go making sure it's not in the proximity
1:51:37
SPEAKER_02: of anyone and just waits for it to get out and the second it does she she
1:51:44
SPEAKER_02: yet she uh stuffed the can into the sewer drain you've played with me enough
1:51:51
SPEAKER_01: that i'm glad you you thought to yourself to cover your face
1:51:55
SPEAKER_01: because had you not said that the role would have been much more difficult
1:52:01
SPEAKER_01: uh give me a dice pool of your give me wits and give me give me wits
1:52:12
SPEAKER_01: and decks i'm gonna call it a difficulty to roll
1:52:16
SPEAKER_01: because you did prepare yourself you know what you were doing you got the thing
1:52:19
SPEAKER_01: on your face give me wits
1:52:20
SPEAKER_01: and three successes three successes is enough success barely but it's enough
1:52:28
SPEAKER_01: you cover your face up do all the things you punctured you get in it you can see
1:52:32
SPEAKER_01: that like when you do maybe punctured a little too hard or maybe in the wrong spot
1:52:37
SPEAKER_01: and it like sprays out at you
1:52:38
SPEAKER_01: but you've got your face covered enough whatever like this little scarf you put
1:52:42
SPEAKER_01: on your face or whatever you cover you're probably gonna have to get rid of it
1:52:45
SPEAKER_01: but you're successful in getting it open you get everything in the sewer
1:52:50
SPEAKER_01: and you dump it in there you have to wash your hands probably get rid of with
1:52:54
SPEAKER_01: a cloth you use but you're good
1:52:58
SPEAKER_02: as she throws it down and she sits on the sidewalk looking back at Logan
1:53:07
SPEAKER_02: and Jacob seeing what's happening but then looks away as that thing she saw in
1:53:15
SPEAKER_02: the forest the thing that she that asked her if she was happy something about
1:53:22
SPEAKER_02: that it didn't hurt before
1:53:26
SPEAKER_02: but it sure as hell does something about the situation having
1:53:31
SPEAKER_02: to fight two people she cares about to get this thing away from them knowing
1:53:37
SPEAKER_02: that whatever this is it's gonna fuck is going to have consequences
1:53:43
SPEAKER_02: and she just sits there and lets her eyes leak as she buries her face
1:53:53
SPEAKER_02: in her hands well
1:53:55
SPEAKER_01: i wouldn't put your face in your hands but i get not in her hands
1:53:58
SPEAKER_02: but like yeah i know you get what i mean
1:54:05
SPEAKER_02: like in the oh my god what
1:54:06
SPEAKER_02: the fuck have i done what's going on and i everything hurts i get
1:54:13
SPEAKER_03: that jacob logan can you feel it in your system but you two are clear of mind
1:54:24
SPEAKER_01: as you look at one another
1:54:26
SPEAKER_00: Logan is in stunned silence the part of her that's like her eyes keep focusing
1:54:32
SPEAKER_00: and unfocusing on Jacob's face as like her priorities are shifting so quickly
1:54:39
SPEAKER_00: between the two oscillating it would almost be easier to ignore Jacob right now
1:54:47
SPEAKER_00: and pretend that it doesn't matter but there's just parts of her
1:54:52
SPEAKER_00: that cannot possibly accept that
1:54:56
SPEAKER_00: um and so she's stuck um just for now Jacob is wide-eyed staring at Logan not saying
1:55:11
SPEAKER_03: a word for a minute or two
1:55:17
SPEAKER_03: before muttering quietly this is not
1:55:22
SPEAKER_03: who you are you're not slow
1:55:25
SPEAKER_03: as he kind of grabs the back of his head still muttering
1:55:30
SPEAKER_03: to himself you're not Sloane um no no Sloane's gone um oh god I didn't even lick
1:55:44
SPEAKER_00: Jacob she's gonna she's gonna like lean down to to like get in towards Jacob um
1:55:55
SPEAKER_03: does Jacob move away or anything yeah
1:56:00
SPEAKER_03: as you try to get close
1:56:03
SPEAKER_03: to him he would actively push you away
1:56:12
SPEAKER_03: still yeah still saying you're not Sloane
1:56:17
SPEAKER_00: to himself yeah she'll freeze as soon as she sees like even a flinch and just
1:56:25
SPEAKER_00: um take take
1:56:28
SPEAKER_03: a step back um what what do i do jacob what do i do she starts like she starts
1:56:40
SPEAKER_03: crying
1:56:40
SPEAKER_03: a little bit like what do i do jacob she's she doesn't respond he's just now sat
1:56:48
SPEAKER_03: there knees towards himself looking down towards the ground
1:56:56
SPEAKER_03: not saying anything um she's she can't stand this she's gonna run over to robin um
1:57:08
SPEAKER_00: and sort of like tug on her shirt and just go robin what do i do as you do
1:57:14
SPEAKER_02: that she robin like you can hear her voice stutter as she tries to get something out
1:57:22
SPEAKER_02: and can't as you kind of like
1:57:24
SPEAKER_02: look down at her like the tension after uh from
1:57:29
SPEAKER_02: when logan like slammed her down like broke her ponytail so her hair is just kind
1:57:35
SPEAKER_02: of like long flowing down it's all strewn across her body and she kind of looks up
1:57:43
SPEAKER_02: at you and all three of her eyes are leaking tears of blood and she just
1:57:59
SPEAKER_00: Logan I do I think I think Jacob's hurt I don't know what
1:58:05
SPEAKER_00: to do Robin what do I do sorry
1:58:13
SPEAKER_02: sorry she wipes her face like with her bralette and
1:58:21
SPEAKER_02: she staggers up trying to keep up the brave face and emotionally stern face
1:58:28
SPEAKER_02: that she always does but it's obviously cracking she goes
1:58:34
SPEAKER_02: so jacob jacob are you you there he would initially look up to see
1:58:44
SPEAKER_03: who is talking seeing that it is not logan
1:58:51
SPEAKER_03: there is no hesitance or attempt
1:58:58
SPEAKER_03: to back away they
1:59:02
SPEAKER_03: were like slow she was like slow he obviously remembers their talk
1:59:08
SPEAKER_02: about that person but clearly that relationship was a lot more complicated
1:59:15
SPEAKER_02: than she first expected come on let me grab
1:59:21
SPEAKER_02: hold my shoulder she'll kneel down to him and let him grab
1:59:25
SPEAKER_03: onto her yeah it takes like 10 seconds
1:59:30
SPEAKER_03: before he would initially do anything like he would take the shoulder
1:59:35
SPEAKER_03: and
1:59:37
SPEAKER_02: she begins walking to the room and it's kind of hard to see from afar but
1:59:44
SPEAKER_02: because Jacob you're so close you can see that she's her
1:59:49
SPEAKER_02: she's actively hyperventilating obviously she doesn't need to breathe but something
1:59:55
SPEAKER_02: about this is causing something far different than just normal distress she notices
2:00:04
SPEAKER_03: but does not comment on it in this moment she'll she'll lead him down on one of
2:00:12
SPEAKER_02: the beds slump down on the other one and just
2:00:17
SPEAKER_02: take a few breaths as she thinks of what the hell they're supposed
2:00:20
SPEAKER_02: to do now it's resolved at least but fuck this is
2:00:27
SPEAKER_03: a lot this is not what I expected this shouldn't have happened I try
2:00:35
SPEAKER_03: to avoid Logan becoming like her is Logan close enough to hear
2:00:40
SPEAKER_03: that Logan is Logan sees
2:00:47
SPEAKER_00: robin like easily help jacob and go to the room and she just stands there at
2:00:57
SPEAKER_00: the at
2:00:58
SPEAKER_00: the van um and she slumps down and she's sat there like she's sat there like a toy
2:01:06
SPEAKER_00: in toy story when they're pretending when humans come in the room you know like
2:01:10
SPEAKER_00: a doll that's string strings are cut she's just slumped up against the van
2:01:19
SPEAKER_00: what has princess done in all this other than stay out from underfoot
2:01:27
SPEAKER_01: kind
2:01:27
SPEAKER_01: of she just kind of kept that nobody was in danger
2:01:31
SPEAKER_01: so she wasn't like it was confusing she was confused but now
2:01:37
SPEAKER_01: that you're slumped down on the van looking emotionally broken she comes over
2:01:45
SPEAKER_01: and like she whines and drops her head in your lap and she like lays down next
2:01:49
SPEAKER_01: to you and it's you know her she knows you and
2:01:57
SPEAKER_01: although she can't understand what's wrong she's dog she knows like
2:02:03
SPEAKER_01: you know like emotional support does know that you're
2:02:06
SPEAKER_01: in distress you're upset you're hurt and so she just lays
2:02:10
SPEAKER_01: with you she doesn't like do much of anything she might occasionally like lick
2:02:14
SPEAKER_01: a hand but she's there she makes sure like she puts her head underneath one
2:02:19
SPEAKER_01: of your hands so you can like feel her coat and maybe
2:02:22
SPEAKER_01: that will help like you know level you out yeah i think where the logan is
2:02:33
SPEAKER_00: princess dartmouth is distant even if she's literally right up against her i like
2:02:41
SPEAKER_01: that jacob and robin as you go into the room the the same kid comes out
2:02:50
SPEAKER_01: from his lobby he looks at you he like tilts his head and he kind of shakes
2:02:57
SPEAKER_01: and you can hear him like whisper under his breath like damn one hit
2:03:03
SPEAKER_01: and like there's there's a little bit of sarcasm there's a little bit of sadness and
2:03:07
SPEAKER_01: and you can see he's just like shit like this this whatever it is like damn this
2:03:11
SPEAKER_01: shit fucks people up he doesn't care about you but it's just it's one
2:03:15
SPEAKER_01: of those things like damn that sucks and he he tosses you like a set of keys um
2:03:24
SPEAKER_01: and you know maybe distantly because you're not really like focused
2:03:26
SPEAKER_01: on you hear him saying uh that's for that other room you know it's
2:03:31
SPEAKER_01: it's not comfortable but you know it's it's there if you want a place to stay and
2:03:38
SPEAKER_03: then he walks away um i think there's there's an opportunity here i want
2:03:47
SPEAKER_00: to roll dice what would you like to do i'm trying to decide
2:03:54
SPEAKER_00: whether she allows herself
2:03:58
SPEAKER_00: to express all this anger she has inward outwardly at this single fucker
2:04:05
SPEAKER_00: who gave us drugs and caused all of this and is clearly apathetic like
2:04:11
SPEAKER_00: whether she's too distant or
2:04:13
SPEAKER_01: if she's gonna act out you tell me are you are you angry with him are you angry
2:04:20
SPEAKER_01: with yourself yeah you know she's pushing drugs that's what drug dealers do
2:04:26
SPEAKER_00: yeah no it's definitely self-loathing i'm trying to like uh i'm trying
2:04:34
SPEAKER_00: to think like how do i show the
2:04:39
SPEAKER_00: like the fact that it requires some level
2:04:43
SPEAKER_00: of emotional intelligence not to not externalize that feeling on someone
2:04:50
SPEAKER_00: who is only tangentially at fault
2:04:55
SPEAKER_01: give me your unspent willpower that's a great way
2:05:00
SPEAKER_00: to do it okay one okay i think that's enough that she's angry
2:05:07
SPEAKER_00: and she's gonna do something about it
2:05:09
SPEAKER_00: but not right now um instead she's gonna snatch that key and walk off do you go to
2:05:16
SPEAKER_01: that other room yeah i do you put the key in it does it says infested
2:05:23
SPEAKER_01: and you open it up and it is just
2:05:26
SPEAKER_01: if the other room was messy you know this room is covered in in blood
2:05:33
SPEAKER_01: in like you can see blessings all over
2:05:36
SPEAKER_01: the place some are new some are old there are flies and all types
2:05:42
SPEAKER_01: of larvae spiders like it's it's it's a mess like somebody
2:05:50

2:08:33
SPEAKER_01: in um
2:08:36

SPEAKER_02: you think before this she had she
2:08:43
SPEAKER_02: not fit that that robin
2:08:47
SPEAKER_02: and uh jacob would have their own conversation first beforehand yeah i mean you can
2:08:54
SPEAKER_01: do that right before like she scratches at the door i think because i'd like to do
2:08:59
SPEAKER_01: that real quick yeah not a problem um you send her out logan and
2:09:06
SPEAKER_01: as she goes out we'll we'll change scenes robin jacob you are in this room
2:09:18
SPEAKER_02: what happened there between you and Logan again Jacob takes like a minute to respond
2:09:31
SPEAKER_03: but he's calmed down more she Logan sounded a lot like Sloane just then
2:09:42
SPEAKER_03: and how she was acting
2:09:44
SPEAKER_03: all that and the drug was not a good combination
2:09:49
SPEAKER_03: the drug itself wasn't good you
2:09:53
SPEAKER_03: you couldn't listen to me at all sorry about
2:09:57
SPEAKER_02: that it's it's fine no no i don't think either of you were in control
2:10:04
SPEAKER_03: of what you did definitely felt like it how are you holding up to them it's
2:10:11
SPEAKER_03: a little quiet a bit i'm
2:10:17
SPEAKER_03: i'm fine i'm fine
2:10:21
SPEAKER_02: obviously she's not but she won't say say it we can go with that
2:10:27
SPEAKER_03: for now sorry can you say that again we can go with that
2:10:31
SPEAKER_03: for now like he's acknowledging that you're actively bullshitting but is not going
2:10:37
SPEAKER_02: to pester she appreciates it i'm guessing this lone person wasn't as how do i put it
2:10:48
SPEAKER_02: great as logan was putting it she went on about her to you i see so
2:10:58
SPEAKER_03: yeah
2:11:01
SPEAKER_03: so it was
2:11:02
SPEAKER_03: a like all kindred manipulative
2:11:08
SPEAKER_03: she treated me and logan as family for a while
2:11:13
SPEAKER_03: when we initially got embraced by her
2:11:17
SPEAKER_03: and from that she kind of got us to do whatever she wanted under the guise
2:11:26
SPEAKER_03: of doing it for family
2:11:30
SPEAKER_03: she
2:11:34
SPEAKER_03: actively starved logan on occasions and i stepped up
2:11:39
SPEAKER_03: by offering my blood as substitutes that's when everything started
2:11:46
SPEAKER_03: to click together on what she was truly like then i'm guessing
2:11:52
SPEAKER_02: the way logan sees her rose tinted glasses
2:11:58
SPEAKER_03: yeah yeah no matter how much i mention it
2:12:04
SPEAKER_03: what she was truly like there's no acknowledgments i i guess i get the feeling
2:12:12
SPEAKER_03: in some way um
2:12:17
SPEAKER_03: okay you feeling all right
2:12:21
SPEAKER_03: i'm better i'm partially better now tomorrow it's
2:12:25

2:14:51
SPEAKER_01: the drug is not something that lingers however like the feeling
2:14:59
SPEAKER_01: of not having it is bad it's less that like oh i gotta get it again and more
2:15:05
SPEAKER_01: that like like you just feel
2:15:09
SPEAKER_01: like a hangover yeah it feels like a hangover as if you were mortal any dice pool
2:15:18
SPEAKER_01: that involves resisting this like someone you know trying to sell it to you
2:15:24
SPEAKER_01: or whatever is going to be at a minus one
2:15:28
SPEAKER_01: but you're not going to take any adverse effects it's just you have this feeling of knowing if

2:15:37

2:15:49
SPEAKER_00: you logan opens her eyes do the bugs stay away yeah they have
2:15:56
SPEAKER_00: or did they decide otherwise okay great you're a monster great she wakes up
2:16:05
SPEAKER_00: to like scuttling things on the ceiling just the low level sounds
2:16:11
SPEAKER_00: of living things all around her and she's just gonna rise
2:16:18
SPEAKER_00: and immediately like she has plans to immediately go and like
2:16:24
SPEAKER_00: confront motherfucker about um
2:16:29

2:16:38
SPEAKER_03: that Jacob good evening waking up obviously he feels like fucking shit because of
2:16:45
SPEAKER_03: the drug but is princess the hero yes I think that
2:16:53
SPEAKER_03: logan left princess with you yeah he would wake princess darmuth up
2:17:00
SPEAKER_01: if she's not awake where's logan she takes her coat out she gets up and kind
2:17:08
SPEAKER_01: of like hops down off of the bed if that's where you were sleeping and begins
2:17:13
SPEAKER_01: to walk towards the door but like looks significantly
2:17:16
SPEAKER_03: at you i think it'd be best robin i'm going to go look for logan
2:17:22
SPEAKER_02: Robin you get up talk to us yeah Robin I'm gonna be honest Robin fell asleep in
2:17:30
SPEAKER_02: the tub because she just didn't have the energy to get out of the bathroom
2:17:35
SPEAKER_02: after washing her hands so she wakes up and then just like grabs onto the sides of
2:17:42
SPEAKER_02: the sink her face is clearly stained with like blood from where
2:17:48
SPEAKER_02: the tears were falling all night and she just like
2:17:52
SPEAKER_02: groans a bit as she begins washing her face it's only
2:17:57
SPEAKER_02: as she finishes up she hears Jacob mentioning that she says be there in a minute
2:18:05
SPEAKER_03: then how are you feeling anyway
2:18:11
SPEAKER_02: probably less shitty than you yeah wouldn't be wrong
2:18:15
SPEAKER_02: about that she'll finish up she'll like
2:18:22
SPEAKER_02: grab some dry shampoo or something to plop up her bangs a bit to hide her eye again
2:18:28
SPEAKER_02: and then just stumble and just stumble her way out as you all kind
2:18:36
SPEAKER_01: of come out you open the door princess comes out she goes but as she goes
2:18:41
SPEAKER_01: towards logan's door logan you come out of your own room and the three
2:18:47
SPEAKER_01: of you are together it's your scene oh um
2:18:53
SPEAKER_00: you see like she goes from war path to awkward teenager in a split second as soon
2:18:58
SPEAKER_00: as she sees the two of you jacob would give
2:19:03
SPEAKER_03: an awkward wave um she's like looking down away um i'm i'm sorry you're fine
2:19:18
SPEAKER_03: we both
2:19:19

SPEAKER_00: and fucking destroy the person
2:20:40
SPEAKER_00: who makes this should we just like leave it alone it's probably better
2:20:47

2:29:25
SPEAKER_01: i mean you're gonna have to put a deposit down and this will go towards
2:29:29
SPEAKER_01: the repair you know and the rent so they'll all be balled up
2:29:32
SPEAKER_01: in one it might cost you something like i don't know maybe i don't know you did some

2:40:21
SPEAKER_01: the grip inside everything is a little off like you gotta adjust the strap a bit

2:43:06
SPEAKER_03: in this moment oh okay let's just worry about getting that money yeah money
2:43:20
SPEAKER_01: as we close out our session you all hear a little money down
2:43:27
SPEAKER_01: they've come into encounters with with the city with things that are going on i even
2:43:35
SPEAKER_01: as you drove here and i want to point out that you saw some stuff
2:43:38
SPEAKER_01: that are clearly like violations of the masquerade right
2:43:42
SPEAKER_01: if you know what you're looking for you can be like what the fuck this is
2:43:47
SPEAKER_01: an anarch city you know as estic so openly told you there are no real
2:43:53
SPEAKER_01: rules here and there's a compact somewhere some agreement they've made
2:43:57
SPEAKER_01: then i'm sure you'll come up with against at some point or maybe happen to read it
2:44:01
SPEAKER_01: but no one to check in with you're free
2:44:04
SPEAKER_01: to do what you want live how you want no one's going to stop you
2:44:08
SPEAKER_01: but there are dangers here and you've come into one of them kindred strung out
2:44:15
SPEAKER_01: to hell you can feel its effects but you're in a position to make a lot
2:44:21
SPEAKER_01: of money perform
2:44:23
SPEAKER_01: big time
2:44:26
SPEAKER_01: i'd like to ask each of you how what's on your mind how you're feeling
2:44:33
SPEAKER_01: as you take steps into yet another city and we'll start
2:44:40
SPEAKER_02: with you robin robin is feeling very complicated right now
2:44:50
SPEAKER_02: she's after everything that happened last night over the past few days
2:44:55
SPEAKER_02: and everything that's happened even before that
2:44:59
SPEAKER_02: the emotional repression she's been experiencing increases because
2:45:07
SPEAKER_02: in her mind these people around her that she cares so much for they're dealing
2:45:14
SPEAKER_02: with shit so much worse than hers she
2:45:19
SPEAKER_02: needs to be there for them and whatever she's dealing with doesn't matter
2:45:25
SPEAKER_02: that much she's just gotta keep it in deal
2:45:29
SPEAKER_02: with it later you know she doesn't really know when later is everything
2:45:37
SPEAKER_02: about this just
2:45:40
SPEAKER_02: sinks deeply into her heart the sight of a
2:45:48
SPEAKER_02: sire actually caring and living with their childer the sight of whatever the hell
2:45:57
SPEAKER_02: that thing was in the forest that asked her if she was happy the
2:46:03
SPEAKER_02: experience with
2:46:04
SPEAKER_02: the drugs it's just all hitting in a place that she feels way too close to home
2:46:13
SPEAKER_03: for humanizing
2:46:20
SPEAKER_03: does it make robin feel vulnerable feel mortal yeah
2:46:28
SPEAKER_03: she doesn't even know
2:46:30
SPEAKER_02: where she fits into all this i mean she's been well yeah sure she was with her sire
2:46:37
SPEAKER_02: for a bit but for the most part she's been on her own but so this is just
2:46:48
SPEAKER_03: chaotically balanced
2:46:50
SPEAKER_03: different weird uncomfortable it's just different
2:47:01
SPEAKER_01: different there's no one
2:47:04
SPEAKER_01: at your throat here no one telling you or threatening you with death
2:47:07
SPEAKER_01: but this place has a way of making you feel very almost human that's
2:47:15
SPEAKER_03: a little uncomfortable I like that
2:47:27
SPEAKER_03: his thoughts right now about this place is there is so much going on outside
2:47:39
SPEAKER_03: of their control and whatever these drugs are are just completely bad news
2:47:51
SPEAKER_03: and he kind of wants to try to avoid it as much
2:47:53
SPEAKER_01: as he can how is jacob holding up holding this new guitar seeing its name coming to
2:48:01
SPEAKER_01: a place that's again you're not under threat no one tried
2:48:05
SPEAKER_01: to kill you how is he feeling about all
2:48:07
SPEAKER_01: that is it frustration is it sadness is it almost too much freedom i want
2:48:13
SPEAKER_01: to know it's not too much freedom
2:48:17
SPEAKER_03: the name is the part what hits the most in the back of his mind
2:48:24
SPEAKER_03: and his idea is ignore this guitar's name no matter what
2:48:32
SPEAKER_03: the second he acknowledges it he feels like it'll be the end of it all the fact
2:48:39
SPEAKER_03: that it played so well too that's rough but I like it
2:48:49
SPEAKER_03: Logan last but not least
2:48:53
SPEAKER_00: yeah um Logan's looking up at the stars
2:48:58
SPEAKER_00: and just this thought comes
2:49:02
SPEAKER_00: to her cause like they've been talking she's been talking about Sloane a lot lately
2:49:07
SPEAKER_00: and there's parts of her that think that Sloane wasn't unkind to her there's parts
2:49:16
SPEAKER_00: of her that think that Sloane was unkind to her
2:49:19
SPEAKER_00: because she deserved it and that's not the relationship she has
2:49:25
SPEAKER_00: with Jacob Jacob is like kind to her in
2:49:34
SPEAKER_00: Logan's mind at least it's coming to be to
2:49:36
SPEAKER_00: a fault because she just takes and takes and endangers him and makes life harder
2:49:43
SPEAKER_00: for him and
2:49:46
SPEAKER_00: somewhere in the back of her mind or maybe just like a voice on the wind drifting to
2:49:53
SPEAKER_00: the front of her thoughts as maybe I ought to go and then she looks at Jacob
2:49:59
SPEAKER_00: and it's but who's gonna look out for Jacob if I'm not around
2:50:07
SPEAKER_00: am I just
2:50:09
SPEAKER_00: the inner turmoil of how can I live without Jacob
2:50:15
SPEAKER_00: without knowing that jacob is okay while being this to him
2:50:24
SPEAKER_00: why are all the things
2:50:26
SPEAKER_00: that i admire that i find beautiful and special about this person the things
2:50:32
SPEAKER_00: that hurt the person who is now the center of my life
2:50:38
SPEAKER_00: the most like does this even make sense
2:50:45
SPEAKER_00: and she's just she's stuck in that she's stuck in this thought
2:50:50
SPEAKER_00: of maybe we really don't fit together but how could I be anywhere else
2:50:57
SPEAKER_03: the bond is rough
2:51:00
SPEAKER_01: especially on such an introspective kindred too you can get away
2:51:06
SPEAKER_01: from it but like are you even good for Jacob is what you are and what you do
2:51:14
SPEAKER_01: problematic for jacob's existence does your existence threaten jacob's is
2:51:19
SPEAKER_01: a tough question to ask yourself
2:51:24
SPEAKER_01: but i like that equally so and i think
2:51:30
SPEAKER_01: as you all get you've got your your new guitar jacob you load back into
2:51:36
