• 1:57
  SPEAKER_03: some stuff go down.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_03: And so please remind us what happened if someone will be so very kind to do so.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: I can't remember what happens.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of drugs.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of drugs.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: Drugs and Issues!
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: Perjuring Issues!
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_01: I've pulled up my notes.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_01: We drive to Denver,
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_01: no one's following us,
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: Jacob breaks his guitar,
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_01: we run into some dude named Stick who's beating some werewolves off.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: We're porcupines.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're porcupines, something.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_01: You know, helps us, gives Jacob a snack.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: We get sort of a lay of the land.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_01: Told to hit up the church, which I believe is a bar.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_01: Then we go to the Dauntless, which is this really cheap, nasty motel.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_01: And there we got awed by a ghoul and compelled about drugs, which both Logan and Jacob took.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_01: Jacob immediately needed more,
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_01: which Robin tried to prevent,
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_01: and Logan immediately wanted to feed, which she did, awed of Jacob without asking.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_01: And while she did so, she sounded like Sloan, which caused a lot of Friction.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: And this halted their drug-addled state and gave them some clarity
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_01: and horrified glances, I guess.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_01: They then all went to bed with Logan going to bed in the bug-infested room.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_01: And the morning they met up awkwardly and went to go get Jacob's guitar fixed
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_01: and rent a replacement.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: What was also called Sloan.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: Because God is kind.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: God's a bitch.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_03: That is where we left off.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_03: Was there more time in the night?
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_03: I don't remember.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_03: I think that we
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_01: just woke up.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: And gone to get the guitar thing done.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we got the guitar thing done.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_01: And that's kind of where we left off.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_03: That is kind of where we left off.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: I believe you all were in the van
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_03: when it ended.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_03: Having...
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_03: You know, looked at the guitar, flipped it over, looked at the name.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_03: What plans for the evening do
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: we have from this point?
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: Money, I think, is the main thing.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: You are low on funds.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: Especially of the recent incident.
• 5:45
  Yep.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_00: Who would have thought?
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: Let's make some money then.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: You know that you're supposed to...
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_03: Excuse me, I have to sneeze.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_03: Get in contact with Mike Grant, if I'm not mistaken, to...
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: Better deal.
• 6:19
  I'm pretty sure what his name is.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: We'll get the fucking thing up so I can check.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, it was Mike Grant.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: It is Mike Grant.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: That is a
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_03: big thing,
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_03: to go up in the Mile High Stadium,
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_03: play for,
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_03: I believe that the Denver Broncos football stadium holds about 76,000 people total.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_03: And the concert for said event,
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_03: you've probably seen it as you drive around,
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_03: is tomorrow night at And is absolutely sold out.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_03: The trick is to try to get up there as the pre-game show.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_03: Or the pre-performance, like you're opening up as a band.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_03: The chief problem,
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_03: and not that you've spoken to Mike Grant yet,
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_03: is that there is a band going up there before you or
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_03: before whoever's going up there.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_03: It's a 50 Cent tour because I decided that just now in the moment.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_03: And going up before them is another indie band to open up the concert for him.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_03: You've got to, well, no, got to.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_03: Ideally, you might want to get them out of the way.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe try to force Mike's hand a little, or maybe set your ambitions a little lower.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe try to get a show at the church.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_03: There's plenty of places we can go and try to make a little money,
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_03: play a little music, get our name out there.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: I leave it to you.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: Jacob, it's kind of an awkward time for you.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_00: I'm kind of hungry.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: Likewise.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: All right, so find somewhere to eat, then figure out a plan.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: Might also figure out the
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: rules or whatever.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_01: If we go to the church, they said something about a compact.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_01: I don't really know how these anarch states work.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: That's probably the best place to start.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, let's see.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_02: So, right now Robin will be Looking out for a good place to drop the two off
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_02: and let them find someone to gnaw on.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_03: The only place I guess so far you've heard about that's like a thing is
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_03: the church nightclub in northwest
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_03: Denver where you came from.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_03: Is that where you want to head?
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_03: You know it's a hot spot for some kindred?
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_03: You don't know who runs the show or even how to get in contact with them,
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_03: but you do know that's the place to be.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_02: We're definitely going to go there,
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_02: but first I want to find somewhere not as swarming with Kindred because
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_02: that means less competition for food and less chance of being exposed for
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_02: the whole blood leach thing.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_03: I get it.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_03: I get it.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_03: You were told by Stick that Denver is overrun with hindrance of all types.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_03: Finding food anywhere might be a little difficult.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_03: You don't know who claims what territory, even if they do claim territory.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_03: Or is it every hindrance for themselves?
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_03: It's hard to know when you first get into a city and not know the rules.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_03: But let's do it.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_03: If you're looking for some place that your hope is a little less hindred-infested,
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_03: that's gonna be a lot of work for you.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_03: However, we can go anywhere you want to go.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_03: You wanna hit a club, you wanna go to a bar, whatever you're looking for, we can do.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_00: A bar would be sufficient enough.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: A bar.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: I like bars.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_00: They're great for picking up drunkards.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: Easy to convince them to do what you would like.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_03: I agree.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_03: You want a dive bar?
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_03: You want a nice one?
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_03: What are you looking for?
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_03: Like a pub?
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_00: Whichever in the city seems like majority.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_01: It's not the most nordly, so in the middle.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_01: If it seems like it's more of a upscale area, then
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: he'd kind of go for more of a dive bar.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_00: There are a few places,
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_03: but nearby,
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_03: I think one that's really,
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_03: you drive around and I mean,
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_03: you come across a few,
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_03: a couple of dives, but then one might really stand out for what you're looking for.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_03: It's called Lady Jane.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_03: It's nice without being too upscaled.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_03: There is a bouncer at the door,
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_03: but not so much there to like push people out,
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_03: just to check IDs and make sure everyone coming in.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_03: There's no line.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_03: Just, you know, people kind of come in in groups.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_03: There's like a stop.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_03: They check their IDs.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_03: You guys kind of stop and park there for a moment.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_03: Nothing seems out of place.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_03: Music's good.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_03: Alcohol is flowing.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_03: People step out.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_03: The same guy who checks IDs makes sure that everybody,
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_03: like if you look too drunk, he takes your keys.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_03: Kind of looking out for everybody here.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_03: How does that sound?
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: That sounds perfect.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_03: Sounds like a place to be.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_01: Before we get out,
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_01: I think Logan wants to do up her makeup so that
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_01: the deathly pale look looks intentional and goth instead of sickly.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I would like to blush of life.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: That sounds like a plan.
• 13:47
  Okay.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_03: Give me a Roush check for the Blush of Life.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_03: It's hoping the Dicebot actually works.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_03: What's wrong with my Dicebot?
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it's thinking.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_00: There you go.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_03: Hunger Unchained.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_03: Hunger Unchained.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_03: Little blood creeps into your face, looking a little more mortal tonight.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_03: You guys parked the van, what, down the block, halfway down the block?
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_03: There's not really like a parking lot here.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: Excellent.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_03: Logan, you get your makeup done, and the three of you come out.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_03: Walk up to a place.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_03: It's nice.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_03: The outside is this kind of like white marble.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_03: Without, again, it's not too over the top.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_03: It looks like it fits in.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_03: Looks like somebody takes care of this place.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_03: You can see right past the bouncer that just to your left,
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_03: there's like a set of stairs and a very like comfortable seating area.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_03: It's like three steps and there's like couches and stuff.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_03: You can see just further down there, there's a lot of stools, tables, and they're serving food.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_03: And against the far left wall next to that like raised platform,
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_03: there is a The whole wall from that point to the end of the bar is just a huge bar.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_03: It drinks everywhere all over the wall.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_03: It's crazy.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_03: There's got to be six or seven bartenders behind the bar mixing it up.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_03: A couple are just slinging beers.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_03: A few mixologists.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_03: Bouncer stops you at the door.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_03: Got IDs?
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Jacob would pull out the Alexander

  SPEAKER_00: ID he has.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_00: Logan will
• 15:52

• 16:09
  SPEAKER_03: He's, you know, put a little light on it.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_03: Make sure it's good.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_03: Hands it back to you.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_03: He takes yours to Jerry Maguire.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_03: Looks at you.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_03: Raises an eyebrow.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_03: Thinks nothing of it.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_03: Looks all good.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_03: Comes up to you, Robin.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_03: Robin, do you have a fake ID or do you hand me a real one?
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, she'll hand over a fake ID.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_03: Fake ID.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_03: He looks at it.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_03: He runs a little light over it.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_00: He's like, uh, you got something better for me?
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_00: I'll hand it back to you.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, yeah, now I'm here.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_00: And she'll, like, take a minute to run through her bag and
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: pull out her Driver's license.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_03: Your real driver's license?
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: Fake driver's license.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_03: He's got this little blacklight.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_03: So unless you've got a mask, it's going to come up fake unless you hand him a real one.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_03: Without the little light?
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_02: As he's doing this, she'll look to...
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_02: Jacob, and she's gonna mutter on her breath.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_00: Can you promise me you got this?
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_00: It'll be perfectly fine.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_00: We've got this.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_01: Can you promise?
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_01: Pinky promise.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_01: She's got a very weak smile.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_01: Like, clearly last night is still forefront of the mind here.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_02: And she'll like, as he finishes, she's like, I think I forgot.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_02: I think I have another one in my car.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_02: Just give me a minute.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_02: And she'll head back to her van and not come back.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_03: Fuck that.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_03: He like, he waits a minute and he goes, I guess she's not coming back.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_00: Just shrugs and goes inside.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_01: Jacob would have not even waited.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_01: He was just going to go inside.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_03: It's pretty loud.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_03: It's got this, it's not like
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_03: Dubstep, but it's not less than that either.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_03: It's meant to just be a little obnoxious, get the heart pumping real hard.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_03: Bartender sees you guys, hey, what can I get you?
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_03: We got half off craft beer tonight, and everything on the top shelf is 10% off.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_00: Do you have Desperado?
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_03: Desperado, yep.
• 19:32

  SPEAKER_01: Uh, I'll take a craft beer.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_03: Craft beer it is.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_03: I got a, and he pulls out a menu, puts it down in a little section.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_03: It's got a bunch of, you know, local IPAs, a bunch of bullshit.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_03: He goes, my recommendation is this.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_03: It's called Fishmongers.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_03: It doesn't actually taste like fish.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_03: New shit we just got in.

• 20:07
  SPEAKER_01: Heard.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_03: I keep telling them, but, you know, I mean, it does well.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_03: Puts it back.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_03: He runs over, grabs you a bottle, sets it down.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_00: One or two fingers, boss.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_00: That's for you, Jacob.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_00: One.

• 21:23
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, as long as... She would have, like, an allowance of, like...
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_01: This is a good plan.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_01: Logan should not have the money.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_01: Jacob would hand the 20 over.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_03: He takes any change, boss?
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, please.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_03: He rolls his eyes, puts it in, gives you back your change.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_03: There you go.

  SPEAKER_03: Got your drinks.

  SPEAKER_00: better fake?
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I mean, the ones you have are the ones like, you know, homemade ones.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_03: They'll pass like a basic look over.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_03: Anything extra is going to require like a mask.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_03: And if you're trying to do like a thing thing, you're going to need a better mask.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.

  SPEAKER_03: Is there anything else you want to do while you're out here?
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_02: You'll just be taking your time other than doing her stuff.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_02: Just like cleaning up her van,
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_02: making sure there's no leftover bloodstains from their various adventures.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_00: Just...
• 23:22

  SPEAKER_03: At a difficulty...
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_03: I would say three.

  SPEAKER_03: And then there is another man.
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_03: And...

  SPEAKER_03: the family room,
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_03: men's and women's,

  SPEAKER_03: and he's, like, looking at them, like, which one is the right one?
• 26:50
  Fuck.

  SPEAKER_03: And you see him, like, open up instead, like a cleaning supply closet.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_03: He goes, oh!
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, that would work.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_03: But he, like, stumbles into the men's bathroom by accident.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_03: Something's gonna happen here, regardless.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_03: But hold on, but who are you after?

  SPEAKER_03: There's a chance.
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_03: I'll take a chance.
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_03: Alright.

• 29:49
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, no.

• 30:42
  SPEAKER_03: Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.

  SPEAKER_01: That's my hope.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_03: With an eight.

• 31:19
  SPEAKER_03: That's when you're the most alive and it wants to be there.
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe that little bit of like that act in your system and you can't help it.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_03: You are open with it.
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_03: It bangs out and you're just, you know, like...
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_03: Like you would see in like a movie or a poster where like your fangs are out,
• 31:40
  SPEAKER_03: your head tilts back, teeth all exposed, and then you bite in.
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_03: How much do you want to slake?
• 31:49
  SPEAKER_03: Or how much do you intend to slake?
• 31:51
  SPEAKER_01: I intend to slake furry hunger.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_03: You intend to slake three.
• 31:57
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 31:57
  SPEAKER_03: Hold on to that idea.
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_02: Quick question.
• 32:00
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, great.
• 32:01
  SPEAKER_02: Sorry to land this guy.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_02: Can I see him?
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_03: You are cleaning your car, making sure the bloodstains, so no.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_03: No, you cannot.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I'm also checking outside occasionally.
• 32:18
  SPEAKER_03: That image is exactly the right one.
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_03: No, in this moment, you don't see him.
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_03: However, Logan, on the way...
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_03: To the bathroom to like find yourself like a drunken individual hurled over the over
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_03: a toilet bowl.
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_03: You get like right to the bathroom door and you see somebody go, what the fuck?
• 32:43
  SPEAKER_03: And like you turn around and you can see Jacob like pull his face back and
• 32:49
  SPEAKER_03: then just very out in the open.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_03: Go ahead and take a bite.
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, cool.
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_01: So it's time to do a distraction.
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_01: She's gonna start a very minor bar fight.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_01: It's a little one.
• 33:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's a small one.
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_01: She's gonna, like, deliberately bump into a dude and go, fuck you!
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_01: What are you, like, fuck you, don't touch me!
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_01: And then just punch him in the face.
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 33:18
  SPEAKER_03: I need two separate roles from you.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_03: One is I need charisma and
• 33:32
  SPEAKER_03: subterfuge.
• 33:33
  SPEAKER_03: Or manipulation and subterfuge.
• 33:35
  SPEAKER_03: That's what I'm going to call it.
• 33:37
  SPEAKER_01: Can I add my inherent innocence to this role?
• 33:41
  SPEAKER_03: You can.
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_03: You can.
• 33:43
  SPEAKER_03: Amazing.
• 33:44
  SPEAKER_03: Make this seem like a genuine fight.
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_03: Not that you're making some bullshit up.
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_03: Which may or may not be worse.
• 33:58
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, re-roll failures.
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_01: Amazing.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_01: Six successes.
• 34:03
  SPEAKER_03: Six successes.
• 34:06
  SPEAKER_03: You shove some guy and immediately, like, you're so convincing.
• 34:11
  SPEAKER_03: He's like, yeah, yo, what the f- And he goes to swing, but you're quicker.
• 34:15
  SPEAKER_03: And you're a vampire.
• 34:17
  SPEAKER_03: And you want to punch him in the face.
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_03: And so, give me sh- Strengthen Brawl.
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not using Lethal Body.
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, I'm just pointing this out right now.
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_01: That'd be really awkward.
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_03: Wouldn't it just?
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 34:41
  SPEAKER_01: Also, if I succeed without...
• 34:45
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want to kill a guy.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_03: That would be great.
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_03: You know what I mean?
• 34:51
  SPEAKER_03: Hopefully you pull your punches.
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_01: Five successes.
• 34:57
  SPEAKER_03: Oh my goodness.
• 34:57
  SPEAKER_03: That's not like messy
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_01: or anything.
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_01: Can I just make sure that it cold cocks him?
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, he's a regular mortal and it's gonna hurt badly.
• 35:13
  SPEAKER_03: This is where Robin, you look up and...
• 35:18
  SPEAKER_03: You see Logan just like,
• 35:21
  SPEAKER_03: guy throws a punch or goes to, Logan's just faster and just...
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_03: Logan, what happens?
• 35:31
  SPEAKER_01: I think the thing she does is she's little,
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_01: so she steps into this guy's space when she dodges punch,
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_01: gets one foot behind his foot,
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_01: so when she punches him in the face, he goes down hard.
• 35:48
  SPEAKER_01: Because he trips over her foot that's like stable there while he's on the back foot.
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_03: Robin, you see this.
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_03: And it's...
• 35:59
  SPEAKER_03: If you've ever seen a bar fight or any fight in the stream, there's an inherent like...
• 36:07
  SPEAKER_03: Unless the person is considerably bigger or like an experienced fighter,
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_03: there's some level of like human...
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_03: Quality there, right?
• 36:18
  SPEAKER_03: He can only hit someone so hard.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_03: And you see that Logan,
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_03: attempting to pull the punch,
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_03: but probably majorly failing, absolutely crushed this guy's face into the floor.
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_03: And he, like, like a basketball, just bounces off of it once and lands and is out fucking cold.
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_03: Blood everywhere.
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, she's like, Her mouth is agape, and she, like, she doesn't even look down as she do it.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_02: She's already lighting a cigarette and, like, has one ready for, like, when it's over.
• 36:54
  SPEAKER_02: Like, oh my fucking god.
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_01: And then she's gonna scream, don't touch me again.
• 37:02
  SPEAKER_02: And she's like, right now, she's like, oh my god, what the fuck?
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_02: Like, now she's looking out for where the fuck Jacob is, because...
• 37:14
  SPEAKER_03: What the fuck?
• 37:15
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 37:16
  SPEAKER_03: And now you can see Jacob.
• 37:17
  SPEAKER_03: Like you're like, Logan hit somebody.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_03: And so you immediately start scanning for Jacob.
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_03: And there he is at the bar feeding from someone in plain
• 37:28
  SPEAKER_00: fucking view.
• 37:30
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to kill them.
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to fucking kill them.
• 37:36
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to kill them.
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to kill them.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_02: And she's like muttering that herself over and over as she like gets out of the van.
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_02: Like, oh.
• 37:44
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to kill them.
• 37:48
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my God.
• 37:49
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my fucking God.
• 37:53
  SPEAKER_03: As you start to freak out.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_03: Inside, somebody, like, you hit this guy, you don't touch me.
• 38:00
  SPEAKER_03: One person's like, yeah, fuck that guy.
• 38:02
  SPEAKER_03: And the other, somebody else is like, no, he didn't fuck, I saw you.
• 38:05
  SPEAKER_03: You just hit him for no fucking reason.
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_03: You're an asshole.
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_03: And, like, it's got people riled up.
• 38:11
  SPEAKER_03: Like, the bouncer inside is trying to, like, push me along.
• 38:13
  SPEAKER_03: He's like, move, move.
• 38:15
  SPEAKER_03: But he can't get through them because people have,
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_03: like, got up and are, like, coming towards you.
• 38:19
  SPEAKER_03: Jacob, somebody's like, yo, what the fuck are you doing?
• 38:22
  SPEAKER_03: And, like, snaps a picture.
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_03: And it's like, oh shit, click.
• 38:30
  SPEAKER_03: What do you two want to do?
• 38:33
  SPEAKER_01: I am going to go for that phone.
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_03: Going to go for that phone amidst the chaos.
• 38:42
  SPEAKER_03: I like it.
• 38:44
  SPEAKER_03: Logan, what about you?
• 38:46
  SPEAKER_01: Does Logan also... Logan's doing this for show.
• 38:51
  SPEAKER_01: Does she also get to see the picture being taken?
• 38:55
  SPEAKER_01: So...
• 38:59
  SPEAKER_03: Imagine you're in the bar and at the very back of the bar are the bathrooms.
• 39:03
  SPEAKER_03: And all of these people have gotten up and are swarmed over to you.
• 39:08
  SPEAKER_03: So you hit the guy, you're looking for Jacob, you can see Jacob feeding.
• 39:12
  SPEAKER_03: Somebody snaps the picture and is like, what the fuck?
• 39:15
  SPEAKER_03: Snaps it.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_03: But you have like...
• 39:19
  SPEAKER_03: 40 or 50 people blocking your way, and the security guard coming to you.
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_03: So if you want to get to Jacob,
• 39:26
  SPEAKER_03: you're going to have to go through this crowd,
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_03: which is either going to take you entirely too long,
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_03: or you're going to have to hurt him to get through.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_03: Like, you could just barrel your way through them.
• 39:39
  SPEAKER_01: Logan?
• 39:40
  SPEAKER_01: Logan?
• 39:45
  SPEAKER_01: That's like slightly too much.
• 39:48
  SPEAKER_01: I think she's gonna look around and then like see all these people coming in
• 39:52
  SPEAKER_01: and just look really scared like,
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_00: holy fuck.
• 39:56
  SPEAKER_00: Don't touch me.
• 39:57
  SPEAKER_00: Stay away from me.
• 40:07
  SPEAKER_01: Just make sure that her scene is drawing as much attention as possible.
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_03: I need Composure Resolve.
• 40:21
  SPEAKER_03: And then, from you, Jacob, I'm in need.
• 40:26
  SPEAKER_03: Dex and Athletics to try to grab that phone before this guy, like, bolts.
• 40:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and Rowan's, like, running her way to the alley where they are.
• 40:39
  SPEAKER_03: Are you running towards the bar?
• 40:40
  SPEAKER_03: You're trying to get in?
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_02: Not inside the bar, to, like, where Jacob is.
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_03: Jacob's in the bar.
• 40:48
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my god, you're inside.
• 40:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 40:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, she's making her way to Jacob.
• 40:55
  SPEAKER_01: Any difficulty?
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_03: Difficulty three.
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to Bloodsearch.
• 41:05
  SPEAKER_03: What did you get on that Composure Resolve roll?
• 41:09
  SPEAKER_01: I'm debating really hard.
• 41:11
  SPEAKER_01: I think...
• 41:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, this is going badly.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_01: Composure and resolve is important.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_01: Three successes.
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like that's enough.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_03: Shake up what you get.
• 41:29
  SPEAKER_01: I got three successes.
• 41:31
  SPEAKER_03: I got three successes as well.
• 41:36
  SPEAKER_03: O-kidoki.
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_03: Logan.
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_03: This crowd starts to like mob around you.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_03: Some people are in favor, some aren't.
• 41:48
  SPEAKER_03: And eventually the security guard starts like shooting them away.
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_03: You don't flip out.
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_03: You're in control.
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_03: Things are going badly, but you've got the mind for it.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_03: Eventually,
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_03: or after a few minutes,
• 42:03
  SPEAKER_03: a few moments, I should say, the security guard like shoves somebody in the way.
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_03: He's like, yo, did you hit him?
• 42:09
  SPEAKER_03: You obviously did.
• 42:10
  SPEAKER_03: Why the fuck did you do that?
• 42:13
  SPEAKER_01: She's just gonna, again, like,
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_01: shout in the way that someone who's clearly in a vulnerable state, again,
• 42:20
  SPEAKER_01: don't touch me,
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_01: stay back, you know, the, the, like, don't, don't fucking come near me, okay?
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_01: Like, she wants to, if she can,
• 42:29
  SPEAKER_00: visibly start shaking.
• 42:30
  SPEAKER_00: Let
• 42:35
  SPEAKER_03: me perform, manipulation, subterfuge, one more time.
• 42:39
  SPEAKER_03: Amazing.
• 42:39
  SPEAKER_03: Jacob, you launch forward.
• 42:42
  SPEAKER_03: You've got your hand around the phone, but so does he.
• 42:47
  SPEAKER_03: And in between you is this dude that you're feeding on who's kind
• 42:52
  SPEAKER_03: of like holding his neck, like in a little bit of pain.
• 42:55
  SPEAKER_03: So you're at a little bit of a disadvantage, but your hand is on the phone.
• 43:00
  SPEAKER_03: This is all chaotic and happening at the same time.
• 43:04
  SPEAKER_03: Right as you grab your hand around the phone, Robin, you come in.
• 43:07
  SPEAKER_03: There's no one right at the front besides the The bouncer who puts his hand up and is like, ID?
• 43:16
  SPEAKER_03: And he looks at you like, really?
• 43:18
  SPEAKER_00: You tried two and didn't work.
• 43:25
  SPEAKER_02: And can I try and say,
• 43:28
  SPEAKER_02: don't you have better things to do right now and just motion to the active fight?
• 43:36
  SPEAKER_00: Give me...

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm going to make my first blood surge.
• 44:11
  SPEAKER_00: Thank God.
• 44:12
  SPEAKER_00: He looks at you
• 44:16
  SPEAKER_00: and turns around and
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_00: he's like, fuck.
• 44:41
  SPEAKER_03: The guy's talking to Jacob or to Logan.
• 44:44
  SPEAKER_03: The bouncer's got his hands up talking to Logan, trying to be like, I'm not going to hurt you.
• 44:48
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not going to hurt you.
• 44:49
  SPEAKER_03: He's like, fuck.
• 44:51
  SPEAKER_03: He looks at you.
• 44:53
  SPEAKER_03: If I come in here and you're not old enough, I'm going to fight.
• 44:57
  SPEAKER_03: He points to your car.
• 44:59
  SPEAKER_03: I can see your car.
• 45:00
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to track you down.
• 45:01
  SPEAKER_03: Don't fucking do anything.
• 45:03
  SPEAKER_03: And then turns and runs inside.
• 45:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 45:12
  SPEAKER_00: Do you want to follow in behind him?
• 45:17
  SPEAKER_02: She's like,

  SPEAKER_02: she's like, her,
• 45:20
  SPEAKER_02: she's going to first, like,
• 45:22
  SPEAKER_02: try and resolve the situation before getting him because if he fucks up her car,
• 45:28
  SPEAKER_02: she's gonna kill him and she needs to make sure that they don't get exposed
• 45:32
  SPEAKER_02: from being vampires right now.
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_02: And she'll, like,
• 45:34
  SPEAKER_02: go to the guy with the phone and she'll,
• 45:38
  SPEAKER_02: she'll, like, grab a shoulder and, like, Dude, are you seriously kink shaming them?
• 45:44
  SPEAKER_02: Dude, what the fuck?

  SPEAKER_03: He looks at you and is like, what the fuck?
• 45:51
  SPEAKER_03: And you hear these like, oh, uh, bro, I don't know what you're talking about.
• 45:57
  SPEAKER_03: Kink shaming?
• 45:57
  SPEAKER_03: You fucking bit him.
• 45:59
  SPEAKER_03: You see your teeth?
• 46:00
  SPEAKER_03: You see his teeth?
• 46:00
  SPEAKER_03: What the fuck?
• 46:03
  SPEAKER_02: What do you think the kink is?
• 46:05
  SPEAKER_02: Do you think it would be real, like, vanilla shit, dude?
• 46:08
  SPEAKER_00: What the fuck?
• 46:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, what teeth?
• 46:16
  SPEAKER_01: And he would reach into his mouth with one hand as I would use Fata Morgana to make
• 46:29
  SPEAKER_01: a visual version of them in my hand to show they are more prosthetic such fake.
• 46:39
  SPEAKER_03: Give me a Roush check.

  SPEAKER_03: And you're only doing one thing.
• 46:51
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 46:51
  SPEAKER_03: So...
• 46:56
  SPEAKER_03: That's going to be a difficulty two.
• 47:00
  SPEAKER_03: Because it's one plus whatever you're doing.
• 47:04
  SPEAKER_00: You only need a visual.
• 47:13
  SPEAKER_00: No successes.
• 47:15
  SPEAKER_00: Nice.
• 47:17
  SPEAKER_03: He's like, oh, shit.

  SPEAKER_03: I'll delete it.
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_03: I'll delete it.
• 47:24
  SPEAKER_03: My fault.
• 47:25
  SPEAKER_03: And he, like,
• 47:26
  SPEAKER_03: if you let him have the phone,
• 47:27
  SPEAKER_03: he'll, like, turn it around and, like, show you himself deleting it.

  SPEAKER_03: I mean...

  SPEAKER_03: If it comes up in like a cloud sync, I'll get rid of it.

  SPEAKER_03: It just hurts.
• 48:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, while they're talking, she's already booking it for the bouncer.
• 48:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, this is my cue to get the fuck out.
• 48:19
  SPEAKER_00: Logan, I gave you a dice roll.
• 48:22
  SPEAKER_00: What'd you get?
• 48:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, you did.
• 48:25
  SPEAKER_00: I got five successes.
• 48:29
  SPEAKER_00: Five successes.
• 48:35
  SPEAKER_03: The bouncer puts his hands up.
• 48:36
  SPEAKER_03: He's like, whoa, whoa, lady.
• 48:37
  SPEAKER_03: Chill, chill.
• 48:38
  SPEAKER_03: All right, all right.

  SPEAKER_03: She just fucking decked him for no reason.
• 48:54
  SPEAKER_03: Like, there's a discussion about it.
• 48:56
  SPEAKER_03: But, like, people are whispering.
• 48:57
  SPEAKER_03: And the other bouncer comes and is, like, moving people out of the way.
• 49:00
  SPEAKER_03: Look out, look out, look out.
• 49:01
  SPEAKER_03: He talks to me.

  SPEAKER_01: and because of me, you haven't.
• 54:25
  SPEAKER_01: So you've got no right to stand on this ground.
• 54:29
  SPEAKER_02: At least I didn't get, like, oh I need to get, like, fucking, like, kitty leashes for you two.
• 54:35
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
• 54:37
  SPEAKER_01: Listen, I did a good job.
• 54:40
  SPEAKER_01: No one else is gonna remember that shit when a big bar fight went down
• 54:43
  SPEAKER_01: and someone was having an episode.
• 54:45
  SPEAKER_01: Like, fuck.
• 54:48
  SPEAKER_02: I can't believe I have the chaperone you two.
• 54:51
  SPEAKER_00: I can't believe- I can't- Princess has been growling the whole time.
• 55:00
  SPEAKER_00: That's so good.
• 55:04
  SPEAKER_03: And she's like,
• 55:06
  SPEAKER_03: she's standing up like in the back,
• 55:10
  SPEAKER_03: growling at just,
• 55:12
  SPEAKER_03: it looks like she's just growling at the right wall of the van
• 55:19
  SPEAKER_03: and literally materializing.
• 55:26
  SPEAKER_00: An individual goes, well, I mean, yeah, nobody's going to remember that, but I'm going to.
• 55:37
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, cute snack.
• 55:39
  SPEAKER_00: Is that where you want to be?
• 55:41
  SPEAKER_00: Sneaking into our van?
• 55:44
  SPEAKER_00: Who is this person?
• 55:45
  SPEAKER_00: Do we see what they look
• 55:47
  SPEAKER_00: like in this moment?
• 55:48
  SPEAKER_03: You do.
• 55:49
  SPEAKER_03: They are a Nosferatu, clearly.
• 55:52
  SPEAKER_03: They look like they've been burned and had skin grafts that didn't exactly take all
• 56:02
  SPEAKER_03: over their body.
• 56:03
  SPEAKER_03: Like parts of them are like pink fleshy skin.
• 56:07
  SPEAKER_03: Other parts are like gray and mottled like it got old and rotted.
• 56:14
  SPEAKER_03: Other parts are just clearly like burned patches.
• 56:17
  SPEAKER_03: It's all over.
• 56:20
  SPEAKER_03: Head to toe.
• 56:21
  SPEAKER_03: He looks relatively calm.
• 56:25
  SPEAKER_00: Is this one of the kindreds from the other knights?
• 56:33
  SPEAKER_00: As we was arriving.
• 56:37
  SPEAKER_00: Are you asking me?
• 56:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 56:40
  SPEAKER_01: I'm asking you, because I know we met some.
• 56:43
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 56:46
  SPEAKER_00: And you are?
• 56:49
  SPEAKER_03: He looks at Logan first.
• 56:52
  SPEAKER_03: Not interested in being food, although I doubt you'd make it that far.
• 56:58
  SPEAKER_03: My name's Demi.
• 57:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's nice to meet you.
• 57:05
  SPEAKER_02: Robin's, like, pulling out another cigarette as she, like, stares daggers at Jacob.
• 57:12
  SPEAKER_02: Like, look what you brought in, look what you brought in.
• 57:18
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you know, apologies for the rude introduction, but it's friend or food out here, innit?
• 57:27
  SPEAKER_03: Something like that.
• 57:29
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, this is, you know, this is Anarch territory.
• 57:32
  SPEAKER_03: We tend not to just...
• 57:34
  SPEAKER_03: Eat each other for no reason.
• 57:36
  SPEAKER_03: Although it happens, I'm not going to lie.
• 57:40
  SPEAKER_00: So you're a friend?
• 57:43
  SPEAKER_00: Not exactly.
• 57:44
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a nice person to know.
• 57:47
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm not here for that.
• 57:52
  SPEAKER_03: I heard from Drago's who heard from Stick that we had some new people in town.
• 57:57
  SPEAKER_03: I just like to check in on things.
• 58:00
  SPEAKER_03: Make sure things look
• 58:04
  SPEAKER_03: I like information.
• 58:05
  SPEAKER_03: Let's call it that.
• 58:07
  SPEAKER_03: I'd like to know what's what.
• 58:09
  SPEAKER_03: You three seem pretty messy.
• 58:11
  SPEAKER_03: Not that I give a shit.
• 58:12
  SPEAKER_03: This is Denver.
• 58:14
  SPEAKER_03: But I just wanted to know what's what.
• 58:17
  SPEAKER_03: And you've been invited to the church.
• 58:21
  SPEAKER_03: Or I should say invited.
• 58:23
  SPEAKER_00: Dragos wants to see you at the church.
• 58:31
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing crazy.
• 58:32
  SPEAKER_03: You're not in any trouble.
• 58:33
  SPEAKER_03: He didn't really do anything.
• 58:35
  SPEAKER_03: New people come around, especially through his territory.
• 58:39
  SPEAKER_03: And he uses air quotes when it's his territory.
• 58:42
  SPEAKER_03: He likes to know who's who.
• 58:43
  SPEAKER_03: That's all.
• 58:44
  SPEAKER_03: Plus, he heard from a guy who heard from a guy that you guys just played out in Grand Junction.
• 58:49
  SPEAKER_03: More trouble's fast.
• 58:52
  SPEAKER_00: Apparently so.
• 58:54
  SPEAKER_00: But at least there's some good news inside of all of that.
• 59:01
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I mean, you guys didn't fucking do nothing, right?
• 59:03
  SPEAKER_03: You didn't kill a bunch of people or, you know, break the masquerade or anything, right?
• 59:08
  SPEAKER_03: You did your thing.
• 59:13
  SPEAKER_00: Correct.
• 59:14
  SPEAKER_00: And he says masquerade and uses the air quotes again.
• 59:21
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 59:23
  SPEAKER_00: Dope.
• 59:24
  SPEAKER_03: So, you don't eat me.
• 59:27
  SPEAKER_03: You guys are chill.
• 59:29
  SPEAKER_03: You...
• 59:30
  SPEAKER_03: Smoking doesn't do anything for you.
• 59:31
  SPEAKER_03: So I don't know why you do it.
• 59:33
  SPEAKER_03: If you really, I mean,
• 59:36
  SPEAKER_03: if you're trying to feel something and he reaches in his coat and he pulls out
• 59:40
  SPEAKER_03: a little vial that you guys have seen before.
• 59:43
  SPEAKER_03: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 59:46
  SPEAKER_02: Stop right there.
• 59:47
  SPEAKER_02: No, out, out of my van, out, out, out.
• 59:50
  SPEAKER_02: We're going to, we'll be there out of my fucking van.
• 59:56
  SPEAKER_03: He puts it like back in his pocket.
• 59:59
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not staying.
• 1:00:00
  SPEAKER_03: I don't want to go.
• 1:00:02
  SPEAKER_03: Chaot goes to ask me to make sure you get there safely.
• 1:00:06
  SPEAKER_03: So here I am.
• 1:00:08
  SPEAKER_02: Preach!
• 1:00:10
  SPEAKER_02: And she'll, like,
• 1:00:10
  SPEAKER_02: grit her teeth as she, like,
• 1:00:12
  SPEAKER_02: begins driving, like,
• 1:00:13
  SPEAKER_02: I hate them,
• 1:00:14
  SPEAKER_02: I hate them, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this town.
• 1:00:19
  SPEAKER_00: Make a left here.
• 1:00:21
  SPEAKER_00: Straight down the block.
• 1:00:27
  SPEAKER_00: Logan does not blink.
• 1:00:29
  SPEAKER_00: The entire time they're going there just staring fucking daggers at this dude.
• 1:00:39
  SPEAKER_03: Do you have any questions for him?
• 1:00:41
  SPEAKER_03: Anything you want to talk to him about while you drive or do you just watch him?
• 1:00:47
  SPEAKER_01: She's gonna watch him completely silent.
• 1:00:51
  SPEAKER_01: I think that Princess like moves over to watch him from like right next to her.
• 1:01:02
  SPEAKER_03: I like it.
• 1:01:04
  SPEAKER_03: Jacob, Robin, anything you guys want to say to Demi while you drive?
• 1:01:12
  SPEAKER_00: No, not really.
• 1:01:15
  SPEAKER_00: He's comfortable.
• 1:01:16
  SPEAKER_03: Go ahead, Robin.
• 1:01:18
  SPEAKER_03: Anything?
• 1:01:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:01:19
  SPEAKER_02: In service of not making more trouble than they're already in,
• 1:01:24
  SPEAKER_02: she hopes to say nothing of what's currently on her mind about him.
• 1:01:34
  SPEAKER_03: Realizing that you guys aren't going to talk, he's got a little satchel.
• 1:01:37
  SPEAKER_03: He pulls an iPad out, and he starts flicking through it for himself.
• 1:01:44
  SPEAKER_03: And he's like, you can see him looking at something and goes, huh.
• 1:01:47
  SPEAKER_03: So they did it.
• 1:01:50
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 1:01:51
  SPEAKER_03: He closes it up, slides it back in.
• 1:01:55
  SPEAKER_03: And right there.
• 1:01:58
  SPEAKER_03: And he points to a literal church.
• 1:02:04
  SPEAKER_03: Kind of like a gothic architecture.
• 1:02:07
  SPEAKER_03: It's very, very nice.
• 1:02:10
  SPEAKER_03: Revived, beautiful.
• 1:02:11
  SPEAKER_03: It's got that, you know, that rose window, all stained glass, little pointed chapel peaks.
• 1:02:17
  SPEAKER_03: It's very nice.
• 1:02:19
  SPEAKER_03: White with the black peaks at the top.
• 1:02:22
  SPEAKER_03: And the club is fucking crazy.
• 1:02:26
  SPEAKER_03: People are outside waiting to get in.
• 1:02:28
  SPEAKER_00: Let's just pull around back.
• 1:02:31
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 1:02:34
  SPEAKER_03: As you come around back,
• 1:02:35
  SPEAKER_03: there is,
• 1:02:36
  SPEAKER_03: it's not a line as much as it is like a collection of like groups of people.
• 1:02:43
  SPEAKER_03: And they all look sort of like the rough type.
• 1:02:50
  SPEAKER_03: As the vanpool is in,
• 1:02:51
  SPEAKER_03: they all kind of look up,
• 1:02:52
  SPEAKER_03: a few of them,
• 1:02:53
  SPEAKER_03: he goes,
• 1:02:55
  SPEAKER_03: you, I would just go straight in,
• 1:02:58
  SPEAKER_03: knock on the door twice,
• 1:03:00
  SPEAKER_03: somebody will open up for you,
• 1:03:02
  SPEAKER_03: and you're good to go, head They know they're expecting you.
• 1:03:06
  SPEAKER_00: They'll take you right to him.
• 1:03:13
  SPEAKER_00: I like your dog, by the way.
• 1:03:17
  SPEAKER_00: He doesn't like you.
• 1:03:21
  SPEAKER_00: I don't like dogs, but I like yours.
• 1:03:23
  SPEAKER_00: It's got that look to it.
• 1:03:31
  SPEAKER_00: We'll be seeing you.
• 1:03:33
  SPEAKER_00: Get out.
• 1:03:35
  SPEAKER_03: I doubt it, but I'll see you.
• 1:03:38
  SPEAKER_03: And he hops out like he opens the door, hops out of the van.
• 1:03:41
  SPEAKER_03: The people like there see him.
• 1:03:44
  SPEAKER_03: He gives them the finger, throws his hood up and just walks away.
• 1:03:53
  SPEAKER_03: You have the scene in the van before you go inside.
• 1:03:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:03:59
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry.
• 1:04:01
  SPEAKER_01: Robin, can you see invisible people with that spooky eye of yours?
• 1:04:06
  SPEAKER_02: If I'm focusing hard enough here?
• 1:04:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:04:12
  SPEAKER_00: I'm tired of getting snuck up on.
• 1:04:16
  SPEAKER_00: I'm tired of having these people in my van.
• 1:04:18
  SPEAKER_00: That could have gone worse though.
• 1:04:27
  SPEAKER_00: Am I wrong?
• 1:04:31
  SPEAKER_00: Just get ready.
• 1:04:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:04:42
  SPEAKER_02: Robin will get into her outfit she wears to the shows.
• 1:04:47
  SPEAKER_02: Like, adjust her hat a little bit.
• 1:04:49
  SPEAKER_02: Get herself ready.
• 1:04:51
  SPEAKER_02: Even if this is, like, a kindred place, she doesn't want to expose herself.
• 1:04:57
  SPEAKER_02: Just in case.
• 1:05:01
  SPEAKER_00: Makes sense to me.
• 1:05:06
  SPEAKER_00: As you all get out.
• 1:05:10
  SPEAKER_03: The different groups, you can see them kind of like converging a little bit.
• 1:05:16
  SPEAKER_03: A few of them like get closer to the van or eyeing it.
• 1:05:21
  SPEAKER_03: A few others just kind of look at you guys.
• 1:05:24
  SPEAKER_03: They're all smoking cigarettes, talking to each other.
• 1:05:28
  SPEAKER_03: It's definitely rough back here.
• 1:05:30
  SPEAKER_03: A little dangerous, if I'm honest.
• 1:05:33
  SPEAKER_03: You guys head straight to the door, give it a knock.
• 1:05:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yep, two knots.
• 1:05:41
  SPEAKER_03: Bringing the big dog with us.
• 1:05:43
  SPEAKER_03: Bringing the big dog.
• 1:05:44
  SPEAKER_03: He comes down.
• 1:05:45
  SPEAKER_03: She's big.
• 1:05:45
  SPEAKER_03: She growls at one group.
• 1:05:47
  SPEAKER_03: They back up like, oh, shit.
• 1:05:49
  SPEAKER_03: Another group.
• 1:05:50
  SPEAKER_03: One guy goes, you're a nice van.
• 1:05:54
  SPEAKER_03: Touch that van.
• 1:05:55
  SPEAKER_01: I'll break your hand.
• 1:05:58
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we'll see, pretty lady.
• 1:06:01
  SPEAKER_03: And he, like, blows you a kiss and winks.
• 1:06:04
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I don't want these people.
• 1:06:09
  SPEAKER_03: As you walk up, give it two knocks, there's that, uh, the little, like, eye slit, slides open.
• 1:06:17
  SPEAKER_03: There's a pair of very pretty eyes that look at you.
• 1:06:20
  SPEAKER_03: Close it, and then the door opens.
• 1:06:22
  SPEAKER_03: In front of you is an individual.
• 1:06:27
  SPEAKER_03: She's very pale.
• 1:06:28
  SPEAKER_03: She's got, um, this, like, white, blonde hair.
• 1:06:33
  SPEAKER_03: She looks... She looks like a vampire.
• 1:06:40
  SPEAKER_03: Super pale.
• 1:06:41
  SPEAKER_03: He's got this obvious predator look going on.
• 1:06:46
  SPEAKER_03: She doesn't really blink all that often.
• 1:06:49
  SPEAKER_03: And in a very low voice, she asks you,
• 1:06:55
  SPEAKER_00: you for Dragos?
• 1:07:02
  SPEAKER_00: That is who we are here to see, apparently.
• 1:07:07
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 1:07:08
  SPEAKER_03: And she turns around and like walks down the stairs.
• 1:07:14
  SPEAKER_03: Like you open the door and it's just a flight of stairs down.
• 1:07:17
  SPEAKER_03: Make sure you lock the door behind you.
• 1:07:21
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I saw it.
• 1:07:27
  SPEAKER_03: You guys, if you close it and lock it behind you, you follow her down.
• 1:07:31
  SPEAKER_03: It's clearly like, you know, the bowels of the church.
• 1:07:36
  SPEAKER_03: There are offices here,
• 1:07:37
  SPEAKER_03: a few bedrooms that would be for like nuns or the pre-study rooms or where they,
• 1:07:43
  SPEAKER_03: you know, hold their own personal communions, all the type of stuff.
• 1:07:47
  SPEAKER_03: And as she walks you through...
• 1:07:50
  SPEAKER_03: You can see in the different rooms there,
• 1:07:52
  SPEAKER_03: kindred down here,
• 1:07:54
  SPEAKER_03: just kind of chilling, laying around, talking to each other, fucking drinking.
• 1:08:01
  SPEAKER_03: Eventually she comes to an office and she knocks on it once and then opens the door.
• 1:08:08
  SPEAKER_03: You're greeted with this very Nicely furnished office.
• 1:08:13
  SPEAKER_03: It's got these like dark pan, like almost wood colored walls.

• 1:09:11
  SPEAKER_03: He's got this kind of like look.
• 1:09:16
  SPEAKER_03: It's not authoritarian so much.
• 1:09:18
  SPEAKER_03: It's more just like someone who's used to being obeyed.
• 1:09:22
  SPEAKER_03: He sees you all, walks in.
• 1:09:24
  SPEAKER_03: She holds the door for you guys, lets you three in, and goes, thank you, Clara.

• 1:11:05
  SPEAKER_03: He pulls out a little notebook,
• 1:11:07
  SPEAKER_03: opens it, starts writing in it, closes it, leaves the pen on top.
• 1:11:13
  SPEAKER_03: You three ran a good show.
• 1:11:16
  SPEAKER_03: I heard it was well done.
• 1:11:18
  SPEAKER_03: You're meeting with or one of my people.
• 1:11:21
  SPEAKER_03: So we're going to put you in touch with Mike Grant.
• 1:11:27
  SPEAKER_03: He opens the book up again and looks at it.
• 1:11:29
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, Mike.
• 1:11:33
  SPEAKER_00: Heard about him.
• 1:11:36
  SPEAKER_00: Good.
• 1:11:37
  SPEAKER_00: Somebody was planning on meeting up with at some point.
• 1:11:41
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:11:42
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 1:11:42
  SPEAKER_03: All good.
• 1:11:44
  SPEAKER_03: Mike's one of my people.
• 1:11:46
  SPEAKER_03: And he like looks at you significantly when he says my people.
• 1:11:50
  SPEAKER_03: He belongs to me.
• 1:11:52
  SPEAKER_03: Part of my career network.
• 1:11:54
  SPEAKER_03: I like to make sure who's what before getting in bed and in business with them.
• 1:12:00
  SPEAKER_03: I happen to look into you and follow in your movements since Vegas.
• 1:12:06
  SPEAKER_03: And again, he opens up the book since Vegas, writes another note down.
• 1:12:11
  SPEAKER_03: You guys performed fairly well,
• 1:12:14
  SPEAKER_03: but you have like a string of incidences that sort of follow you.
• 1:12:19
  SPEAKER_00: Did you know?
• 1:12:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's tough being broken no matter how dead you are.
• 1:12:29
  SPEAKER_03: That's true.
• 1:12:32
  SPEAKER_03: He writes down a few more things.
• 1:12:35
  SPEAKER_03: So you're looking to put on a show, yes?
• 1:12:40
  SPEAKER_00: We are a band after all, and that is how we are traveling.
• 1:12:45
  SPEAKER_00: Perfect.
• 1:12:49
  SPEAKER_03: I just, I like to make sure business is business,
• 1:12:52
  SPEAKER_03: so of course I get my cut,
• 1:12:54
  SPEAKER_03: but if Kindred are going to be doing anything within my sphere of influence,
• 1:12:59
  SPEAKER_03: I like to make sure I know what's what.
• 1:13:02
  SPEAKER_03: I know enough about you.
• 1:13:03
  SPEAKER_03: You know, he looks at, he taps the notebook.
• 1:13:06
  SPEAKER_03: No need to, you know, ask a million questions.
• 1:13:11
  SPEAKER_03: You are obviously going to perform.
• 1:13:15
  SPEAKER_03: You will have standard contracts drawn up.
• 1:13:18
  SPEAKER_03: However, performing at the Maya High Stadium is a big deal.
• 1:13:25
  SPEAKER_03: And
• 1:13:27
  SPEAKER_03: I have a band Already opening for
• 1:13:34
  SPEAKER_03: Curtis Jackson,
• 1:13:35
  SPEAKER_03: 50 Curtis Jackson, or whatever he goes by.
• 1:13:40
  SPEAKER_03: It's a significant amount of business,
• 1:13:42
  SPEAKER_03: so I need a good reason as to why I need to pull my opening show out for you.
• 1:13:51
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I've seen it work.
• 1:13:52
  SPEAKER_03: It's pretty good.
• 1:13:54
  SPEAKER_03: Debatable.
• 1:13:55
  SPEAKER_03: I've seen your stuff.
• 1:13:56
  SPEAKER_03: I know who's going up, so...
• 1:13:58
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, if you were to just throw it out on a whim,
• 1:14:01
  SPEAKER_03: I'd say you're a little worse than them, but not by a large margin.
• 1:14:06
  SPEAKER_03: What benefit is it for me?
• 1:14:08
  SPEAKER_03: Because I have to pay them out, make sure they don't cause a ruckus because they are out.
• 1:14:14
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, it's got to benefit me if I'm going to switch them for you.
• 1:14:17
  SPEAKER_03: So what are you offering?
• 1:14:23
  SPEAKER_00: What we can offer...
• 1:14:30
  SPEAKER_01: Is a crowd wanting more,
• 1:14:36
  SPEAKER_01: specifically enough to entice them to be excited for the headliner even more than
• 1:14:42
  SPEAKER_01: the other band you have hired?
• 1:14:46
  SPEAKER_01: We can get them spending a bit more money?
• 1:14:50
  SPEAKER_01: And by a bit, I should probably say a significant amount.
• 1:14:56
  SPEAKER_00: That is, that should compensate The loss for having to pay out the other plans.
• 1:15:05
  SPEAKER_03: You're already a little in the hole,
• 1:15:07
  SPEAKER_03: so you're asking me to take it on good faith that you're not going to make it worse,
• 1:15:12
  SPEAKER_03: cover all the expenses,
• 1:15:14
  SPEAKER_03: not ones that you'll incur with me, but obviously the ones you already owe.
• 1:15:21
  SPEAKER_00: How about this?
• 1:15:25
  SPEAKER_00: Having a band on the road sounds...
• 1:15:28
  SPEAKER_00: Lucrative, profitable.
• 1:15:34
  SPEAKER_00: I'm looking to exploit new avenues of revenue.
• 1:15:45
  SPEAKER_00: If I switch my people out for you, let's make a record deal.
• 1:15:53
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing crazy, a lot of money up front.
• 1:16:00
  SPEAKER_00: Quarter million dollars sound good?
• 1:16:05
  SPEAKER_00: Before we even discuss money,
• 1:16:12
  SPEAKER_00: what out of this record label and how long is it lasting for?
• 1:16:16
  SPEAKER_01: All the simple, finite stuff should probably be sorted out first.
• 1:16:23
  SPEAKER_00: No point in rushing into it.
• 1:16:28
  SPEAKER_03: He looks at He looks at you, Logan, and you, Robin.
• 1:16:32
  SPEAKER_03: You all have lawyers?
• 1:16:34
  SPEAKER_03: Need one?
• 1:16:37
  SPEAKER_03: Or are we comfortable talking details?
• 1:16:43
  SPEAKER_02: Let's start with details up front.
• 1:16:46
  SPEAKER_02: We'll see if we need lawyers
• 1:16:48
  SPEAKER_00: later on.
• 1:16:54
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 1:16:56
  SPEAKER_00: He looks at you, Logan.
• 1:16:59
  SPEAKER_00: Comfortable?

  SPEAKER_00: Of course.
• 1:17:07
  SPEAKER_00: Your first two albums,
• 1:17:12
  SPEAKER_03: we will master, produce, chord.
• 1:17:17
  SPEAKER_03: I have studios in several places that, or I can contract with ones that I don't own.
• 1:17:24
  SPEAKER_03: We'll get your first album out.
• 1:17:27
  SPEAKER_03: I will, of course, as the record label, we hold the masters.
• 1:17:33
  SPEAKER_03: Those are for us to use.
• 1:17:35
  SPEAKER_03: So you will get royalties,
• 1:17:38
  SPEAKER_03: of course,
• 1:17:39
  SPEAKER_03: up to 25% to 35%,

• 1:18:17
  SPEAKER_03: We own the masters until such time as you can buy them out from us.
• 1:18:22
  SPEAKER_00: Or me, I should say.
• 1:18:27
  SPEAKER_00: You'll consistently make a cut, but I don't.
• 1:18:38
  SPEAKER_00: Standard practices, nothing out of crazy there.
• 1:18:41
  SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
• 1:18:45
  SPEAKER_00: Mind if I talk to my coterie in private really quick?
• 1:18:55
  SPEAKER_00: He looks at the three of you.
• 1:18:57
  SPEAKER_00: Clara.
• 1:18:59
  SPEAKER_03: She opens the door.
• 1:19:02
  SPEAKER_03: Take them to... Hey, you there.
• 1:19:08
  SPEAKER_03: Stop.
• 1:19:09
  SPEAKER_03: We think you forgot to like and subscribe.
• 1:19:11
  SPEAKER_03: Now you get put in dice jail.
• 1:19:14
  SPEAKER_01: Just kidding.
• 1:19:15
  SPEAKER_01: But if you are enjoying the show, share it with your friends.
• 1:19:18
  SPEAKER_01: Subscribing, liking, and reviewing also helps bring others to our doorstep.
• 1:19:23
  SPEAKER_01: You can also head over to chaoticallybalanced.com forward slash support linked in
• 1:19:28
  SPEAKER_01: the description below and get access to our exclusive Substack content.
• 1:19:33
  SPEAKER_01: Now that that's cleared up, let's get back to the adventure.
• 1:19:39
  SPEAKER_03: One of the private rooms.
• 1:19:42
  SPEAKER_03: She nods, she looks at the three of you and like holds the door open.
• 1:19:49
  SPEAKER_00: Come...
• 1:19:51
  SPEAKER_00: Is it safe to assume you're not going to have anyone
• 1:19:53
  SPEAKER_01: clinging to the walls
• 1:19:55
  SPEAKER_01: while we're in there?
• 1:19:59
  SPEAKER_03: Demi is one of the few Nosferatu in the city.
• 1:20:02
  SPEAKER_03: I apologize if his introduction was less than polite.
• 1:20:09
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to be a Nos to know the ways to hide yourself.
• 1:20:18
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sure you all have ways to check.
• 1:20:21
  SPEAKER_00: You have my word.
• 1:20:22
  SPEAKER_00: No one's in there.
• 1:20:28
  SPEAKER_00: Very well.
• 1:20:33
  SPEAKER_00: Gestures for you guys to go.
• 1:20:35
  SPEAKER_03: If you stand up and follow Clara, she closes the door.
• 1:20:38
  SPEAKER_03: One, two, three, come out.
• 1:20:40
  SPEAKER_03: She leads you maybe two rooms down, opens up another.
• 1:20:43
  SPEAKER_03: It's like a little lounge area.
• 1:20:46
  SPEAKER_03: It has like a faint smell of like lavender and blood.
• 1:20:52
  SPEAKER_03: She doesn't say anything.
• 1:20:53
  SPEAKER_03: As you guys walk in,
• 1:20:53
  SPEAKER_03: she just closes the door behind you and she's probably on the other side of it.
• 1:21:02
  SPEAKER_01: Logan wants to,
• 1:21:04
  SPEAKER_01: while we're walking,
• 1:21:05
  SPEAKER_01: use silence of death so that she leaves no footsteps and is completely silent
• 1:21:10
  SPEAKER_01: and can whisper into this woman's ear,
• 1:21:13
  SPEAKER_01: you're really pretty,
• 1:21:14
  SPEAKER_01: while we walk and then sort of skip,
• 1:21:16
  SPEAKER_01: hop away and go into a door and leave her with that.
• 1:21:24
  SPEAKER_03: If you were to look at her,
• 1:21:25
  SPEAKER_03: she has virtually no expression to what you said,
• 1:21:29
  SPEAKER_03: but is more surprised that you spoke to her kind of thing.
• 1:21:33
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 1:21:38
  SPEAKER_00: But you're in the room.
• 1:21:40
  SPEAKER_00: You have the scene.
• 1:21:42
  SPEAKER_00: Take it away.
• 1:21:44
  SPEAKER_00: So, when you want to check for the... do your thing?
• 1:21:52
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:22:03
  SPEAKER_00: We can give a quick check,
• 1:22:05
  SPEAKER_00: and Jacob would kind of walk around the entire room,
• 1:22:12
  SPEAKER_00: brushing his hands up and down the wall,
• 1:22:18
  SPEAKER_00: to make sure there's no one clinging onto it.
• 1:22:25
  SPEAKER_00: Logan will sit down, but say to Princess, we clear?
• 1:22:35
  SPEAKER_00: She sits around the room
• 1:22:38
  SPEAKER_03: and eventually she like plops down in the middle
• 1:22:42
  SPEAKER_03: and gets comfortable like clearly
• 1:22:44
  SPEAKER_00: nothing's here.
• 1:22:54
  SPEAKER_00: Cool.
• 1:22:56
  SPEAKER_00: So we all agree taking this deal
• 1:23:02
  SPEAKER_01: is too much.
• 1:23:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:23:05
  SPEAKER_02: Like, here's the thing, like, for,
• 1:23:09
  SPEAKER_02: even for, like,
• 1:23:11
  SPEAKER_02: well-known,
• 1:23:13
  SPEAKER_02: if we were, like, some,
• 1:23:15
  SPEAKER_02: at least had some kind of renown,
• 1:23:19
  SPEAKER_02: I'd get that, but everything about this seems weird.
• 1:23:26
  SPEAKER_02: Because, again, we started playing, like, what, a few weeks ago?
• 1:23:32
  SPEAKER_02: And we're already being offered this.
• 1:23:34
  SPEAKER_02: This doesn't smell right.
• 1:23:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's not the first time this has happened.
• 1:23:44
  SPEAKER_00: What I think is that we're an indie band.
• 1:23:48
  SPEAKER_01: Dedicating ourselves to making an album this early in our career is kind of crazy.
• 1:23:54
  SPEAKER_00: But this kind of deal for a single maybe isn't.
• 1:23:58
  SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
• 1:24:01
  SPEAKER_00: He's wanting two albums of 9 to 12 songs.
• 1:24:05
  SPEAKER_01: That will be a while.
• 1:24:08
  SPEAKER_01: Romans will be stuck under it.
• 1:24:11
  SPEAKER_01: But if we make one or two chart-topping singles, that's probably about as good numbers-wise.
• 1:24:23
  SPEAKER_00: People don't buy albums anymore, so they're not financially more viable than singles.
• 1:24:34
  SPEAKER_00: We ask for just a
• 1:24:37
  SPEAKER_02: single deal.
• 1:24:38
  SPEAKER_02: We like them.
• 1:24:39
  SPEAKER_02: We can keep them on, not we're out.
• 1:24:43
  SPEAKER_02: Doesn't keep us tethered to them, but at least makes us a bit of change.
• 1:24:52
  SPEAKER_01: And it's also not super common for Kindred to be moving about as much as we are,
• 1:24:59
  SPEAKER_01: even if we do...
• 1:25:01
  SPEAKER_01: You know, usually leave an incident behind us.
• 1:25:08
  SPEAKER_01: But having people who are spreading your name around the country wouldn't be bad.
• 1:25:14
  SPEAKER_01: So if we just say that we're going to talk to other kindred about his joints, I don't know.
• 1:25:21
  SPEAKER_00: That's also advertising or whatever.
• 1:25:24
  SPEAKER_00: The not-fungible...
• 1:25:31
  SPEAKER_00: Favor that can be paid, you know what I mean?
• 1:25:38
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry.
• 1:25:49
  SPEAKER_00: That works.
• 1:25:51
  SPEAKER_00: Be good?
• 1:25:53
  SPEAKER_00: I don't have an issue with that.
• 1:25:57
  SPEAKER_00: He's going to reject it, though.
• 1:25:58
  SPEAKER_00: Most likely.
• 1:26:01
  SPEAKER_00: I'll see.
• 1:26:04
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go.
• 1:26:06
  SPEAKER_00: He'll be losing out.
• 1:26:09
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 1:26:13
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go.
• 1:26:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:26:18
  SPEAKER_00: She'll, like, take the lead.
• 1:26:29
  SPEAKER_00: You guys tap on the
• 1:26:30
  SPEAKER_03: door, open it up.
• 1:26:32
  SPEAKER_03: Clara is waiting there.
• 1:26:34
  SPEAKER_03: She, again, says nothing to you.
• 1:26:36
  SPEAKER_03: Walks down,
• 1:26:38
  SPEAKER_03: taps on Dragas' door again,
• 1:26:39
  SPEAKER_03: opens it, and lets-
• 1:26:41
  SPEAKER_01: Logan does want to be like, have you had a
• 1:26:43
  SPEAKER_00: good evening, Clara?
• 1:26:48
  SPEAKER_00: My evening's fine.
• 1:26:53
  SPEAKER_00: Oh boo, can always do better than fine.
• 1:26:58
  SPEAKER_03: She looks at you like you've grown ahead and just backs away.
• 1:27:09
  SPEAKER_03: Clearly she doesn't do well with random strangers.
• 1:27:13
  Okay.
• 1:27:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's fine.
• 1:27:17
  SPEAKER_02: Robin gives Logan the look of like, keep it in your pants, will you?
• 1:27:22
  SPEAKER_01: She'll better eyes at Clara and get her turn to the march.
• 1:27:30
  SPEAKER_03: As you guys walk, again,
• 1:27:31
  SPEAKER_03: she lets you in,
• 1:27:32
  SPEAKER_03: wants to go in,
• 1:27:34
  SPEAKER_03: you know, she closes the door behind you, and you take your seats again.
• 1:27:38
  SPEAKER_03: He's still writing in his notebook.
• 1:27:41
  SPEAKER_03: He takes his phone out,
• 1:27:42
  SPEAKER_03: sends a text,
• 1:27:43
  SPEAKER_03: puts it back,
• 1:27:44
  SPEAKER_03: closes the notebook,
• 1:27:45
  SPEAKER_03: puts the pen on top, and he's got more than just the notebook and the computer now.
• 1:27:49
  SPEAKER_03: He's got a little
• 1:27:52
  SPEAKER_03: You know, it's like a glass.
• 1:27:55
  SPEAKER_03: You can smell like the blood coming from clearly very fresh and a couple
• 1:28:01
  SPEAKER_03: of like stacks of sheets lined out on the table and some pens on top of each one.
• 1:28:10
  SPEAKER_00: So we have a deal.
• 1:28:15
  SPEAKER_00: Here's the thing.
• 1:28:17
  SPEAKER_02: We don't know you.
• 1:28:19
  SPEAKER_02: We don't know how your business runs.
• 1:28:20
  SPEAKER_02: We don't know how this will work out.
• 1:28:23
  SPEAKER_02: So I'd like to offer an
• 1:28:25
  SPEAKER_00: amended deal.
• 1:28:32
  SPEAKER_00: I'm all ears.
• 1:28:38
  SPEAKER_00: Instead of doing a full album signed
• 1:28:40
  SPEAKER_02: with you, we do one or two singles.
• 1:28:46
  SPEAKER_02: If we like you, we can continue our business.
• 1:28:49
  SPEAKER_02: We can keep on working together.
• 1:28:53
  SPEAKER_02: If not, there's no strings attached.
• 1:28:55
  SPEAKER_02: You make your money.
• 1:28:56
  SPEAKER_00: We keep assurances.
• 1:28:58
  SPEAKER_00: He...
• 1:29:06
  SPEAKER_00: He looked at you three for a moment.
• 1:29:09
  SPEAKER_03: He reaches in his...
• 1:29:11
  SPEAKER_03: Desk, you see him pull out, like,
• 1:29:13
  SPEAKER_03: it's a big, like,
• 1:29:15
  SPEAKER_03: .44 Magnum,
• 1:29:16
  SPEAKER_03: he puts it on the desk,
• 1:29:18
  SPEAKER_03: and then he reaches back in,
• 1:29:20
  SPEAKER_03: he pulls out another notebook,
• 1:29:21
  SPEAKER_03: puts the gun back in,
• 1:29:23
  SPEAKER_03: closes the drawer, opens it up, and he's like, he flips a couple pages.
• 1:29:28
  SPEAKER_03: So you all made approximately four.
• 1:29:35
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 1:29:35
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 1:29:37
  SPEAKER_03: He writes something down in that book, closes it, puts it back in the drawer.
• 1:29:42
  SPEAKER_03: He goes through the papers.
• 1:29:43
  SPEAKER_03: Each stack, you see him take off.
• 1:29:47
  SPEAKER_03: The stack has to have 15, 20 sheets of paper.
• 1:29:51
  SPEAKER_03: It's probably closer to 50 sheets.
• 1:29:53
  SPEAKER_03: But he takes out 20 of them.
• 1:29:56
  SPEAKER_03: He starts peeling them out,
• 1:29:57
  SPEAKER_03: takes them out of the stack,
• 1:29:59
  SPEAKER_03: looks them over real quick, makes sure he's like, that's what I want.
• 1:30:04
  SPEAKER_03: And he puts it down.
• 1:30:08
  SPEAKER_00: You recently did a song at Lucky Lease.
• 1:30:13
  SPEAKER_03: It's blowing up.
• 1:30:16
  SPEAKER_03: Very hot, very viral.
• 1:30:20
  SPEAKER_03: I will set you up in my studio.
• 1:30:22
  SPEAKER_03: We will record that will be one single and I will contract you for another.
• 1:30:32
  SPEAKER_03: Standard signing advances.
• 1:30:37
  SPEAKER_03: 250,000 might be a little more than you want to take on as an expense.
• 1:30:41
  SPEAKER_03: So, what about unless that is, you still want to do a quarter million?
• 1:30:55
  SPEAKER_00: Continue, let us hear your other offer first.
• 1:31:00
  SPEAKER_03: Well, let's stay at a quarter million.
• 1:31:02
  SPEAKER_03: Obviously, standard practice, $250,000 is
• 1:31:11
  SPEAKER_03: recoupable loan.
• 1:31:13
  SPEAKER_03: You will make 25 to 35% in royalties.
• 1:31:18
  SPEAKER_03: I will recover that $250,000 from those royalties.
• 1:31:22
  SPEAKER_03: As you get them, you will receive a cut, and I will receive a cut from that.
• 1:31:28
  SPEAKER_03: Until it's all paid back.
• 1:31:29
  SPEAKER_03: The rest of it is yours to keep.
• 1:31:31
  SPEAKER_03: You spend the $250,000 as you please.
• 1:31:35
  SPEAKER_03: That's your money to use.
• 1:31:37
  SPEAKER_03: I will also, of my own, put up about $75,000 to cover recording.
• 1:31:46
  SPEAKER_03: All the stuff is mine anyway, so it's not cash.
• 1:31:48
  SPEAKER_03: It's just ease of use.
• 1:31:52
  SPEAKER_03: If you want to shoot a video, that'll come out of your $250,000.
• 1:31:57
  SPEAKER_00: Any additional expenses are your own.
• 1:32:11
  SPEAKER_00: Logan's going to look at Jacob.
• 1:32:15
  SPEAKER_00: It's better than what he was offering earlier,
• 1:32:17
  SPEAKER_00: so yeah,
• 1:32:18
  SPEAKER_01: this is probably the best way to go if we are planning on taking the deal.
• 1:32:27
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, can I, I would like to do a role and use my bargainer skill to assess this transaction.
• 1:32:35
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:32:41
  SPEAKER_01: And can I also just help whatever,
• 1:32:44
  SPEAKER_01: throw an extra dice in there,
• 1:32:46
  SPEAKER_01: because I have band management as my specialty in finance?
• 1:32:51
  SPEAKER_01: Can I do the same role as...
• 1:32:57
  SPEAKER_00: Robin is, as I also have bargaining as a specialty.
• 1:33:05
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:33:06
  SPEAKER_00: You can all roll.
• 1:33:11
  SPEAKER_03: This would be a higher difficulty,
• 1:33:13
  SPEAKER_03: but as two of you have bargaining, we're going to bring the difficulty down.
• 1:33:17
  SPEAKER_03: You can give me a dice pull of your intelligence and Let's see.
• 1:33:29
  SPEAKER_03: Intelligence and Finance.
• 1:33:35
  SPEAKER_03: Intelligence and Persuasion, as you are trying to make this deal with him.
• 1:33:46
  SPEAKER_03: And I think that's it.
• 1:33:51
  SPEAKER_03: I think those are the two.
• 1:33:53
  SPEAKER_03: So intelligence and finance or intelligence and persuasion.
• 1:33:57
  SPEAKER_03: The persuasion will apply
• 1:34:01
  SPEAKER_03: Jacob because your thing is specifically set around that.
• 1:34:07
  SPEAKER_03: Logan and Robin, you can give me intelligence and finance.
• 1:34:13
  SPEAKER_03: Logan, if you just want to help...
• 1:34:16
  SPEAKER_03: Robin, then you roll your dice and we'll apply half your successes to Robin at
• 1:34:20
  SPEAKER_03: a difficulty three.
• 1:34:29
  SPEAKER_00: Four successes.
• 1:34:33
  SPEAKER_00: Four successes.
• 1:34:34
  SPEAKER_00: I hate my life.
• 1:34:36
  SPEAKER_00: That's a beautiful way.
• 1:34:46
  SPEAKER_01: I hate my life.
• 1:34:46
  SPEAKER_00: Goddammit!
• 1:34:48
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my god, he succeeded.
• 1:34:51
  SPEAKER_00: He succeeded.
• 1:34:53
  SPEAKER_00: Jacob.
• 1:35:03
  SPEAKER_03: You get involved in this conversation and he likes what you're putting down.
• 1:35:08
  SPEAKER_03: He starts pointing things out on the sheet to you where he's like, clearly this is this.
• 1:35:16
  SPEAKER_03: As you talk to him, Jacob,
• 1:35:17
  SPEAKER_03: you find out that normally,
• 1:35:21
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 1:35:21
  SPEAKER_03: from your 35 to 25,
• 1:35:24
  SPEAKER_03: 35% royalties that you might receive across different platforms,
• 1:35:29
  SPEAKER_03: the normal cut that people get for like albums and stuff like that,
• 1:35:35
  SPEAKER_03: that the record label would take is like 9 to 12%.
• 1:35:42
  SPEAKER_03: But because you're doing just a single, it's a lot higher.
• 1:35:46
  SPEAKER_03: It's somewhere between 12 and like 17% of the royalties he's going to take from you
• 1:35:53
  SPEAKER_03: because it's just two singles.
• 1:35:55
  SPEAKER_03: So he's able to recoup the money quicker.
• 1:36:01
  SPEAKER_00: But it all seems to be on the level.
• 1:36:07
  SPEAKER_00: Robin with two successes.
• 1:36:14
  SPEAKER_00: You can't tell if he's
• 1:36:18
  SPEAKER_03: slipping something extra in there.
• 1:36:21
  SPEAKER_03: You don't know if there's fine prints.
• 1:36:24
  SPEAKER_03: You're looking at it.
• 1:36:25
  SPEAKER_03: Clearly, there's those little caveats, things of in perpetuity and shit.
• 1:36:30
  SPEAKER_03: But it all starts to, at some point, make your eyes cross and glaze.
• 1:36:35
  SPEAKER_03: The thing that you do notice with two successes is that...
• 1:36:41
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, he's covering the expenses as far as your recordings are concerned.
• 1:36:48
  SPEAKER_03: However,
• 1:36:50
  SPEAKER_03: if your songs flop,
• 1:36:53
  SPEAKER_03: if you guys roll like shit in the recording studio and it just goes badly,
• 1:36:58
  SPEAKER_03: You're not on the hook for the $250,000 up front.
• 1:37:02
  SPEAKER_03: He's just going to eat that loss.
• 1:37:04
  SPEAKER_03: But you're going to be on the hook for the time recorded in the studio,
• 1:37:09
  SPEAKER_03: which is somewhere north of like $60,000.
• 1:37:18
  SPEAKER_03: Logan.
• 1:37:21
  SPEAKER_03: With an absolute bestial failure.
• 1:37:26
  SPEAKER_03: Zero fucking success.
• 1:37:30
  SPEAKER_03: None of this makes any goddamn sense to you.
• 1:37:35
  SPEAKER_03: This guy is like the shystiest of all shystiers.
• 1:37:42
  SPEAKER_03: And, you know, he's obviously like some sort of big shot.
• 1:37:49
  SPEAKER_03: This is obviously, it's got to be some kind of fucking trick.
• 1:37:53
  SPEAKER_03: Hey guys,
• 1:37:54
  SPEAKER_03: quick reminder to leave a like,
• 1:37:56
  SPEAKER_03: a comment, and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
• 1:38:00
  SPEAKER_03: Thanks.
• 1:38:02
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna leave it to you.
• 1:38:05
  SPEAKER_03: Or I can do it.
• 1:38:06
  SPEAKER_03: It's up to you.
• 1:38:07
  SPEAKER_03: But I'm gonna need you to, like, blip the fuck out.
• 1:38:11
  SPEAKER_03: Because this guy is obviously gaming you somehow.
• 1:38:18
  SPEAKER_03: He's getting over on you and your people.
• 1:38:20
  SPEAKER_03: And you gotta make it known.
• 1:38:27
  SPEAKER_00: I think she's just gonna, like...
• 1:38:30
  SPEAKER_01: Ugh.
• 1:38:33
  SPEAKER_01: She wants to flip the fuck out, but Jacob isn't flipping the fuck out.
• 1:38:39
  SPEAKER_01: So what she's gonna do is she's just gonna, like,
• 1:38:44
  SPEAKER_01: wait till his attention is pulled to the other side of the room and
• 1:38:48
  SPEAKER_01: then turn invisible.
• 1:38:51
  SPEAKER_01: Like, yeah, no, I don't fuck with you.
• 1:38:53
  SPEAKER_01: This is...
• 1:38:54
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not part of this conversation anymore.
• 1:38:56
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not dealing with you.
• 1:38:57
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:39:01
  SPEAKER_00: Literal petty nonsense.
• 1:39:02
  SPEAKER_03: Just... Or I'll tell you what.
• 1:39:08
  SPEAKER_03: That's not enough for me.
• 1:39:10
  SPEAKER_01: That's not enough.
• 1:39:11
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:39:12
  SPEAKER_01: My other idea is that I just sit there and use Daunt.
• 1:39:25
  SPEAKER_03: Here's the deal I'll make you.
• 1:39:27
  SPEAKER_03: I can see what you want to do.
• 1:39:29
  SPEAKER_03: And so...
• 1:39:31
  SPEAKER_03: You can do either one of those things.
• 1:39:34
  SPEAKER_03: You want to go invisible, check out of the conversation.
• 1:39:37
  SPEAKER_03: You want to sit there and use daunt.
• 1:39:40
  SPEAKER_03: That's okay.
• 1:39:42
  SPEAKER_03: However,
• 1:39:43
  SPEAKER_03: he's going to take it as the highest form of disrespect and will act accordingly in
• 1:39:56
  SPEAKER_03: a way that will not make itself obvious right now.
• 1:40:02
  SPEAKER_00: Um, yes, or?
• 1:40:05
  SPEAKER_00: Or,
• 1:40:09
  SPEAKER_03: you can act out, like, flip the table, do some crazy shit.
• 1:40:14
  SPEAKER_03: It's gonna be one of the other,
• 1:40:15
  SPEAKER_03: you either gotta like, yeah,
• 1:40:16
  SPEAKER_03: you gotta flip the table,
• 1:40:17
  SPEAKER_03: start tearing up the fucking contract,
• 1:40:19
  SPEAKER_03: just go ballistic,
• 1:40:21
  SPEAKER_03: or you can do exactly the thing you wanna do,
• 1:40:25
  SPEAKER_00: but he's gonna take it very badly.
• 1:40:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, okay.
• 1:40:37
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, yeah, I know.
• 1:40:40
  SPEAKER_00: She'll fucking split his table in two and walk out.
• 1:40:47
  SPEAKER_00: Give me Franken-Brawl.
• 1:40:51
  SPEAKER_00: I'll also do...
• 1:40:54
  SPEAKER_01: I'll do prowess.
• 1:40:56
  SPEAKER_01: Wait, is it good to do prowess?
• 1:40:59
  SPEAKER_01: How many dice is that?
• 1:41:01
  SPEAKER_01: It's only two.
• 1:41:02
  SPEAKER_01: It's strictly better than blood surging for the rest of the scene, though.
• 1:41:06
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, great.
• 1:41:08
  SPEAKER_03: So you're just gonna split his table in half?
• 1:41:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm just gonna be like...
• 1:41:16
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna split his table in half, say don't fuck with us, and then walk out.
• 1:41:22
  SPEAKER_03: Give me Roush check for prowess, and then give me strength and brawl.
• 1:41:28
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:41:29
  SPEAKER_03: I'm actually sure you can do it all together, like with the blood surge.
• 1:41:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there is, but I'm not blood surging.
• 1:41:38
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's right.
• 1:41:41
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, that's seven, nine, three.
• 1:41:52
  SPEAKER_00: Five successes.
• 1:41:56
  SPEAKER_03: Jacob.
• 1:41:57
  SPEAKER_03: Robin, as you are kind of reading over the contract,
• 1:42:02
  SPEAKER_03: it's a little on the higher end as far as what the pay is.
• 1:42:09
  SPEAKER_03: Obviously, not that you're being grifted, but you're paying...
• 1:42:13
  SPEAKER_03: You know, like the premium rates or like.
• 1:42:16
  SPEAKER_03: I should say,
• 1:42:17
  SPEAKER_03: like subprime rates,
• 1:42:18
  SPEAKER_03: like it's the rates are much higher for you not premium premium would be lower
• 1:42:22
  SPEAKER_03: to playing like subprime rate.
• 1:42:23
  SPEAKER_03: So it's a little more expensive for you in like the long run.
• 1:42:28
  SPEAKER_03: However.
• 1:42:30
  SPEAKER_03: It all seems pretty on the level.
• 1:42:33
  SPEAKER_03: He's obviously trying to get in on whatever action you guys are going on,
• 1:42:38
  SPEAKER_03: something you guys have been doing, like you guys have been hot on the road.
• 1:42:42
  SPEAKER_03: You haven't played a lot, but the few times you have played, you've been killing it.
• 1:42:47
  SPEAKER_03: Lucky Lee's had, clearly they recorded it, clearly it's online, it's going viral.
• 1:42:54
  SPEAKER_03: He wants in on the action.
• 1:42:56
  SPEAKER_03: And as you're looking over,
• 1:42:57
  SPEAKER_03: maybe you two are looking at one another excited,
• 1:42:59
  SPEAKER_03: like, oh shit, this might be where things go crazy for us, we're about to blow up.
• 1:43:05
  SPEAKER_03: Fucking Logan comes and fucking judo chops the table in hand and tells him not
• 1:43:13
  SPEAKER_03: to fuck with us and then goes to storm out.
• 1:43:17
  SPEAKER_01: And I think it's just,
• 1:43:19
  SPEAKER_01: like, her beast rises so significantly and so apparently as she fucking...
• 1:43:26
  SPEAKER_01: Punches a hole in this table and hit glasses that she's like, don't
• 1:43:33
  SPEAKER_00: fuck with
• 1:43:33
  SPEAKER_01: us.
• 1:43:34
  SPEAKER_00: And then, you know, storms out.
• 1:43:40
  SPEAKER_03: As you go to break the table, that happens.
• 1:43:44
  SPEAKER_03: Papers go everywhere.
• 1:43:45
  SPEAKER_03: Notebook hits the floor.
• 1:43:47
  SPEAKER_03: The contract is scattered all over.
• 1:43:51
  SPEAKER_03: He doesn't jump back in surprise.
• 1:43:53
  SPEAKER_03: He's just sitting there super calm.
• 1:43:56
  SPEAKER_03: Jacob, Robin, how do you react?
• 1:44:02
  SPEAKER_00: This is... A moment of disbelief.
• 1:44:10
  SPEAKER_01: It's like, we had something decent going.
• 1:44:15
  SPEAKER_01: This may have just fucked
• 1:44:17
  SPEAKER_00: it up.
• 1:44:22
  SPEAKER_00: Robin?
• 1:44:24
  SPEAKER_00: Like...
• 1:44:25
  SPEAKER_02: Completely, like,
• 1:44:28
  SPEAKER_02: just like, doesn't even know how to react to that,
• 1:44:32
  SPEAKER_00: everything that just happened.
• 1:44:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's crazy.
• 1:44:42
  SPEAKER_03: As you guys, like,
• 1:44:43
  SPEAKER_03: have this, like,
• 1:44:43
  SPEAKER_03: shocked look,
• 1:44:46
  SPEAKER_03: you know, Robin, you utter, you know, don't fuck with us, the door opens.
• 1:44:51
  SPEAKER_03: Blings open, and in the doorway are several kindred.
• 1:45:02
  SPEAKER_00: One is Clara, who you just saw.
• 1:45:10
  SPEAKER_03: Another is a very... She's not as like...
• 1:45:18
  SPEAKER_03: Stunning.
• 1:45:19
  SPEAKER_03: Or as beautiful in the traditional sense as Clara is.
• 1:45:24
  SPEAKER_03: But she's this...
• 1:45:26
  SPEAKER_03: It's hard to tell if she's Native, if she's Asian.
• 1:45:30
  SPEAKER_03: She's got black hair.
• 1:45:31
  SPEAKER_03: She's got a tattoo down the side of her face.
• 1:45:34
  SPEAKER_03: She's probably average height.
• 1:45:37
  SPEAKER_03: Um...
• 1:45:38
  SPEAKER_03: And she's like saying next to Clara,
• 1:45:40
  SPEAKER_03: like clearly they were talking and like they heard the noise and they both stepped
• 1:45:46
  SPEAKER_03: in.
• 1:45:46
  SPEAKER_03: Clara's face is like ready to murder.
• 1:45:50
  SPEAKER_03: And then another individual is there.
• 1:45:53
  SPEAKER_03: He is.
• 1:45:53
  SPEAKER_03: He.
• 1:45:57
  SPEAKER_03: He's got to be in his early 50s.
• 1:46:00
  SPEAKER_03: He's got black hair with gray streaks in it.
• 1:46:05
  SPEAKER_03: It's kind of skinny.
• 1:46:06
  SPEAKER_03: He's got a couple of clearly diamond rings on, a chain that says DK on it, and a racing card.
• 1:46:18
  SPEAKER_03: T-shirt that has the number, it shows double zero and across the top it says Midnight Club.
• 1:46:24
  SPEAKER_03: And the three of them like step in, Clara looking ready to murder.
• 1:46:33
  SPEAKER_03: Dragos puts his hand up and as you look,
• 1:46:36
  SPEAKER_03: like as these three step in, you can see that there are Multiple kindred back there.
• 1:46:42
  SPEAKER_03: And they're not coming in,
• 1:46:43
  SPEAKER_03: but they're like looking,
• 1:46:45
  SPEAKER_03: they look equally like shocked,
• 1:46:47
  SPEAKER_03: like who the fuck would do this inside Dragos' place?
• 1:46:51
  SPEAKER_03: Some of them are like, oh shit, somebody's about to die.
• 1:47:00
  SPEAKER_00: What do you three want to do
• 1:47:02
  SPEAKER_03: in this moment?
• 1:47:04
  SPEAKER_01: Logan is turned towards them.
• 1:47:10
  SPEAKER_01: And she's just gonna, she's gonna step up,
• 1:47:13
  SPEAKER_00: like, I'm going for a walk.
• 1:47:19
  SPEAKER_00: Take as much time as you need.
• 1:47:25
  SPEAKER_00: It shouldn't be difficult to find you.
• 1:47:27
  SPEAKER_00: I'll talk to you afterwards.
• 1:47:32
  SPEAKER_01: Princess, stay.
• 1:47:34
  SPEAKER_01: And then she's going to step up to these kindred and be like,
• 1:47:38
  SPEAKER_01: you're going to get between me and the door
• 1:47:41
  SPEAKER_00: while I'm leaving?
• 1:47:47
  SPEAKER_00: None of them.
• 1:47:50
  SPEAKER_03: Unless you're trying to roll Intimidation here, none of them move.
• 1:47:56
  SPEAKER_03: Not them.
• 1:47:58
  SPEAKER_01: I will roll Intimidation.
• 1:48:00
  SPEAKER_01: I'm wilding out.
• 1:48:02
  SPEAKER_01: And I'll throw Dawn's on there.
• 1:48:04
  SPEAKER_01: Like, my girl's wilding out.
• 1:48:08
  SPEAKER_03: Give me your dice pool.
• 1:48:10
  SPEAKER_03: This is going to try to, there's a lot of people here.
• 1:48:13
  SPEAKER_03: Like, there's the three of them in the room,
• 1:48:16
  SPEAKER_03: but there's like six or seven kindred in the hallways.
• 1:48:18
  SPEAKER_03: Like the ones you pass by that were talking, beating, and fucking.
• 1:48:22
  SPEAKER_03: One is absolutely butt-ass naked.
• 1:48:25
  SPEAKER_03: You're trying to cover several kindred.
• 1:48:28
  SPEAKER_03: So, there's a total of, so there's three of them, and there are...
• 1:48:36
  SPEAKER_01: I just want to spook the ones that are in the doorway,
• 1:48:39
  SPEAKER_01: like the ones that are directly between me and the exit.
• 1:48:44
  SPEAKER_03: So, okay.
• 1:48:45
  SPEAKER_03: There are nine total kindred.
• 1:48:48
  SPEAKER_03: Three in the room, and the others are in the hallway, like, looking in.
• 1:48:56
  SPEAKER_03: Let's roll me some dice.
• 1:48:58
  SPEAKER_03: And I'm gonna roll
• 1:49:00
  SPEAKER_00: for each of them.
• 1:49:01
  SPEAKER_00: Can I do Strength Intimidation?
• 1:49:10
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, but that means I will too, and they also have Strength.
• 1:49:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't have as good dice otherwise.
• 1:49:23
  SPEAKER_00: And does that mean I can add prowess to the roll?
• 1:49:32
  SPEAKER_00: I will say the same thing I said last time
• 1:49:34
  SPEAKER_03: with prowess.
• 1:49:36
  SPEAKER_03: If you want to do that,
• 1:49:37
  SPEAKER_03: that means you are,
• 1:49:40
  SPEAKER_03: let's call it threatening them with physical violence,
• 1:49:43
  SPEAKER_03: which may or may not go very, very badly.
• 1:49:48
  SPEAKER_03: I will leave it up to you.
• 1:49:53
  SPEAKER_00: You know what?
• 1:49:54
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just going to throw all my dice
• 1:49:56
  SPEAKER_00: at the wall.
• 1:50:00
  SPEAKER_00: Let's do it.
• 1:50:01
  SPEAKER_01: Um... Let's do it.
• 1:50:04
  SPEAKER_01: Eight.
• 1:50:05
  SPEAKER_01: Plus Daunt is nine, and then I'll Blood Surge.
• 1:50:10
  SPEAKER_03: Let me look at Clara's sheet.
• 1:50:12
  SPEAKER_03: Clara's got a lot of dice, too.
• 1:50:16
  SPEAKER_01: Uh... And again, I just want to spook the ones who are, like, in my way.
• 1:50:22
  SPEAKER_01: Um...
• 1:50:26
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:50:26
  SPEAKER_00: What would Clara throw at this?
• 1:50:30
  SPEAKER_00: Uh...
• 1:50:36
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I'll re-roll, Fabios.
• 1:50:39
  SPEAKER_01: Great.
• 1:50:40
  SPEAKER_01: That's a terrible thing.
• 1:50:41
  SPEAKER_00: Um... For Clara...
• 1:50:46
  SPEAKER_00: Which is fine!
• 1:50:49
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna roll for Cinnamon, who has a lot less of those.
• 1:50:54
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, how many does Cinnamon have?
• 1:50:57
  SPEAKER_00: Only... Only four.
• 1:51:03
  SPEAKER_00: And...
• 1:51:04
  SPEAKER_00: Damien has not as many as Clara.
• 1:51:09
  SPEAKER_00: He's got five.
• 1:51:14
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 1:51:16
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 1:51:17
  SPEAKER_03: So here's what we got.
• 1:51:19
  SPEAKER_03: Cinnamon with three successes, Damien with two successes, and Clara with eight successes.
• 1:51:30
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:51:32
  SPEAKER_01: Um, then I guess I'm only spooking Clara and Damien.
• 1:51:38
  SPEAKER_00: Cinnamon and Damien.
• 1:51:40
  SPEAKER_00: Cinnamon and Damien.
• 1:51:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because I got ten successes.
• 1:51:46
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:51:50
  SPEAKER_03: Damien and Cinnamon.
• 1:51:52
  SPEAKER_00: And it's a nice secret because I know you love those.
• 1:51:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:51:57
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, I do.
• 1:51:59
  SPEAKER_03: Um, Damien and Cinnamon, like, put their hands up, like, oh.
• 1:52:05
  SPEAKER_03: They look at Dragos.
• 1:52:06
  SPEAKER_03: Dragos doesn't say anything.
• 1:52:08
  SPEAKER_03: And they kind of, like, step to the side.
• 1:52:10
  SPEAKER_03: But they don't want any part of this.
• 1:52:14
  SPEAKER_03: But they have kind of, like, a smirk on as they, like, look at Clara.
• 1:52:17
  SPEAKER_03: Who's just staring at you?
• 1:52:20
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, do I not get to choose who my dice go to?
• 1:52:23
  SPEAKER_01: Because I got ten.
• 1:52:24
  SPEAKER_00: I'd prefer to do Clara and one of the others instead of those two.
• 1:52:34
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:52:36
  SPEAKER_00: Let's see how this is going to work.
• 1:52:43
  SPEAKER_00: Clara is eight.
• 1:52:44
  SPEAKER_03: She's not going to be intimidated.
• 1:52:46
  SPEAKER_03: But she won't fight you if you want to put your dice towards hers.
• 1:52:51
  SPEAKER_03: Because you have enough to equal it.
• 1:52:55
  SPEAKER_03: But successes are successes.
• 1:52:57
  SPEAKER_03: So she won't fight you.
• 1:53:00
  SPEAKER_03: But you can apply them to her to prevent her from trying to kill you.
• 1:53:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think I'll do that.
• 1:53:08
  SPEAKER_01: So it's...
• 1:53:10
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna... Those will go towards her, and then...
• 1:53:14
  SPEAKER_01: Didn't she say one of them also only got two successes?
• 1:53:16
  SPEAKER_01: So that's like ten successes total, and then the three successes person isn't... Yep.
• 1:53:24
  SPEAKER_03: So, Clara stands there, and...
• 1:53:27
  SPEAKER_03: The look on her face is like, she wants to kill you.
• 1:53:30
  SPEAKER_03: But she doesn't... Damien backs up, like, oh, can't do that.
• 1:53:38
  SPEAKER_03: Like, I'm not even supposed to fucking be here right now.
• 1:53:42
  SPEAKER_03: Cinnamon just kind of, like, laughs.
• 1:53:47
  SPEAKER_03: And she looks at Clara,
• 1:53:49
  SPEAKER_03: and she looks at Dragos,
• 1:53:51
  SPEAKER_03: like... And she says to him, are you doing anything about it?
• 1:53:56
  SPEAKER_03: Or...
• 1:53:58
  SPEAKER_03: It's just gonna like turn into a thing.
• 1:54:04
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going for a walk.
• 1:54:11
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:54:13
  SPEAKER_00: Robin, Logan, you can see the situation is tense.
• 1:54:19
  SPEAKER_00: Do you two do anything here?
• 1:54:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's a good point.
• 1:54:27
  SPEAKER_00: Quickly speak up.
• 1:54:31
  SPEAKER_00: Please do just let my poetry member leave the room to let them cool down.
• 1:54:40
  SPEAKER_00: I'll talk to them about this later.
• 1:54:48
  SPEAKER_00: Robin?
• 1:54:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, she'll say put because Jacob knows her better to...
• 1:54:58
  SPEAKER_02: Better enough to explain it in a way that she probably can't.
• 1:55:09
  SPEAKER_00: It looks like things are gonna get messy as shit.
• 1:55:15
  SPEAKER_03: Dragos puts a hand up, Clara, and like, makes like a, you know, move to the side gesture.
• 1:55:23
  SPEAKER_03: She does, but she never takes her eyes off you, Logan.
• 1:55:27
  SPEAKER_03: Damien's already moved.
• 1:55:29
  SPEAKER_03: Cinnamon, just kind of like, again, still laughing at the situation.
• 1:55:34
  SPEAKER_03: Moves away, but like, just enough that you have to like, shimmy past her.
• 1:55:41
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, no.
• 1:55:43
  SPEAKER_01: My girl will check a bit.
• 1:55:44
  SPEAKER_01: She's not shimmying at all.
• 1:55:49
  SPEAKER_03: Gimme strength and brawl, and here we go.
• 1:55:52
  SPEAKER_01: Oh god.
• 1:55:54
  SPEAKER_01: Like, they were told to let her go past.
• 1:55:57
  SPEAKER_01: This is their own fault.
• 1:56:01
  SPEAKER_01: Strength, brawl, 108.
• 1:56:04
  SPEAKER_03: Well, let me, this is going to turn into a fight.
• 1:56:10
  SPEAKER_03: It's 110% going to, if you're going to shoulder kick sentence.
• 1:56:15
  SPEAKER_01: She's not going to try and knock her over, but she's not going to shimmy past.
• 1:56:19
  SPEAKER_01: She's going to walk through.
• 1:56:21
  SPEAKER_01: She's walking in a straight line.
• 1:56:25
  SPEAKER_03: If that's the plan, everybody here is kindred.
• 1:56:29
  SPEAKER_03: Everyone here feels how they feel.
• 1:56:31
  SPEAKER_03: There's no way Cinnamon lets that go.
• 1:56:33
  SPEAKER_03: There's no way that's not going to piss off Clara or Dragos.
• 1:56:38
  SPEAKER_03: It's going to turn into a fight.
• 1:56:40
  SPEAKER_03: If you want to do it, I'm not going to stop you.
• 1:56:42
  SPEAKER_03: I am...
• 1:56:43
  SPEAKER_03: Going to give Jacob and Robin an opportunity to also do something once you shoulder check her.
• 1:57:00
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:57:02
  SPEAKER_01: Wait, I need to do the mental math here.
• 1:57:07
  SPEAKER_01: I can't stop Logan from doing anything.
• 1:57:09
  SPEAKER_01: Really?
• 1:57:13
  SPEAKER_01: I know.
• 1:57:15
  SPEAKER_01: Would I be able to interrupt before
• 1:57:21
  SPEAKER_00: Logan can shoulder barge Cinnamon?
• 1:57:28
  SPEAKER_03: It depends on what you want to do.
• 1:57:33
  SPEAKER_00: I would speak aloud enough so Logan can hear me.
• 1:57:43
  SPEAKER_00: Leave the room carefully.
• 1:57:48
  SPEAKER_02: And Robin's going to be making her way to Logan just in case something starts.
• 1:57:55
  SPEAKER_02: She's like, everything tonight has been bullshit.
• 1:57:59
  SPEAKER_02: So if something starts, she needs to be there immediately.
• 1:58:08
  SPEAKER_01: Of course they are blood bonded to me.
• 1:58:11
  SPEAKER_01: They are going to struggle to defy this.
• 1:58:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, Logan will look over her shoulder, like, sort of a snarl on her face and go, fine.
• 1:58:22
  SPEAKER_01: And then shimmy out.
• 1:58:29
  SPEAKER_00: You can try
• 1:58:30
  SPEAKER_01: resisting it.
• 1:58:31
  SPEAKER_01: You can.
• 1:58:33
  SPEAKER_03: You can absolutely resist that command.
• 1:58:37
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, yeah, I know, okay, it's like a difficulty, what, six?
• 1:58:42
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so, the Thrill must make a defiance test of resolve plus intelligence versus
• 1:58:49
  SPEAKER_01: the current bond strength level.
• 1:58:50
  SPEAKER_01: I don't
• 1:58:53
  SPEAKER_01: think we actually ever- I was gonna say, the maximum bond strength is a six.
• 1:59:02
  SPEAKER_03: I would say that you guys are- you've been feeding from Jacob for a long time.
• 1:59:07
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:59:09
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:59:11
  SPEAKER_01: So my thing is, right, I have three dice for that, so I fail.
• 1:59:17
  SPEAKER_01: My girl fails.
• 1:59:19
  SPEAKER_01: So she grows a snarl backwards
• 1:59:22
  SPEAKER_00: and does as told.
• 1:59:27
  SPEAKER_03: You're not gonna resist it.
• 1:59:29
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:59:31
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:59:32
  SPEAKER_01: We love the bloodbunds.
• 1:59:35
  SPEAKER_03: He loved the blood.
• 1:59:38
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, God.
• 1:59:39
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, it stopped a fight going, taking place, so I'm not going to complain.
• 1:59:44
  SPEAKER_03: A lot of lives tonight.
• 1:59:47
  SPEAKER_03: It did indeed.
• 1:59:48
  SPEAKER_03: A lot of people still alive.
• 1:59:53
  SPEAKER_03: You shimmy out,
• 1:59:56
  SPEAKER_03: and Dragos looks at you, Robin, and then very interested in He looks at you, Jacob.
• 2:00:07
  SPEAKER_03: Logan, as you kind of shimmy out, you walk down the hallway and head back up to go outside.
• 2:00:15
  SPEAKER_03: Is that where you're headed?
• 2:00:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, she's just going to go outside.
• 2:00:20
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe she'll go to the van and steal Robin's smokes.
• 2:00:26
  SPEAKER_00: Got it.
• 2:00:30
  SPEAKER_00: As you go...
• 2:00:35
  SPEAKER_00: You hear Dragos say, Clara,
• 2:00:39
  SPEAKER_03: and he waves her off.
• 2:00:43
  SPEAKER_03: She follows you.
• 2:00:47
  SPEAKER_03: At a distance, her, Cinnamon, and Damien.
• 2:00:50
  SPEAKER_03: Damien says something to two of them, and he goes the other way, up into the club.
• 2:00:55
  SPEAKER_03: But the two of them, they're not stalking you as much as they're making sure that you leave.
• 2:01:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:01:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:01:05
  SPEAKER_03: And you go up,
• 2:01:07
  SPEAKER_03: open the door,
• 2:01:08
  SPEAKER_03: head inside and slam it behind you or something,
• 2:01:11
  SPEAKER_03: and you're going to see something interesting.
• 2:01:14
  SPEAKER_03: In the meantime,
• 2:01:15
  SPEAKER_03: downstairs, again, Dragos looking at you, Jacob, very, very...
• 2:01:25
  SPEAKER_00: Care to explain that?
• 2:01:29
  SPEAKER_00: Very long story.
• 2:01:31
  SPEAKER_00: But I do apologise...
• 2:01:35
  SPEAKER_00: For my co-through number just then.
• 2:01:43
  SPEAKER_00: No harm, no foul.
• 2:01:45
  SPEAKER_00: We're not the fucking tower.
• 2:01:46
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not gonna take offense to, you know, shit happens.
• 2:01:51
  SPEAKER_03: We lash out.
• 2:01:53
  SPEAKER_03: But he looks at the table.
• 2:01:56
  SPEAKER_03: $12,000 table though.
• 2:01:59
  SPEAKER_00: Why the fuck is your table that much?
• 2:02:04
  SPEAKER_00: That's what you do when you have money.
• 2:02:05
  SPEAKER_00: You buy stupid shit you don't need.
• 2:02:13
  SPEAKER_03: We can do it one of two ways.
• 2:02:16
  SPEAKER_03: If you've got cash, I take cash.
• 2:02:19
  SPEAKER_03: Or we can tack it on to
• 2:02:24
  SPEAKER_00: the contract.
• 2:02:25
  SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
• 2:02:31
  SPEAKER_00: Robin will look into her money pocket knowing full well that there is not enough in there.
• 2:02:40
  SPEAKER_00: She's just like trying to take deep breaths like oh fuck we have to do this.
• 2:02:52
  SPEAKER_03: He's got a smile on like clearly he's got you trapped.
• 2:02:59
  SPEAKER_03: It's not one of those predatory,
• 2:03:02
  SPEAKER_03: like, ah, gotcha, but more like a businessman knows when he's one kind of thing.
• 2:03:07
  SPEAKER_03: It's not condescending, just clearly victorious.
• 2:03:15
  SPEAKER_00: One song.
• 2:03:17
  SPEAKER_00: That's it.
• 2:03:20
  SPEAKER_03: Two.
• 2:03:21
  SPEAKER_03: First one you've already done.
• 2:03:22
  SPEAKER_03: We're just going to re-record that.
• 2:03:25
  SPEAKER_03: And I want one new one.
• 2:03:28
  SPEAKER_03: We're taking the hype.
• 2:03:30
  SPEAKER_03: We're going to build on it.
• 2:03:32
  SPEAKER_03: Two songs, quarter million dollars up front, cash.
• 2:03:39
  SPEAKER_00: You look at points at the papers all over the floor, standard contracts and applies.
• 2:03:47
  SPEAKER_00: We'll tack on the 12th at the end.
• 2:03:54
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 2:03:58
  SPEAKER_02: Sorry, your voice was a little muffled at the end.
• 2:04:02
  SPEAKER_02: I couldn't hear it.
• 2:04:04
  SPEAKER_03: He said, we'll tack on the 12
• 2:04:06
  SPEAKER_00: at the end.
• 2:04:13
  SPEAKER_00: Not like we have much of a choice now after that split.
• 2:04:19
  SPEAKER_03: Hey, Nods.
• 2:04:21
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, win for me, but it does suck to kind of get back into a corner.
• 2:04:27
  SPEAKER_00: Not my intention.
• 2:04:34
  SPEAKER_00: He's still sitting.
• 2:04:36
  SPEAKER_00: He puts his hand out to a prosperous future.
• 2:04:43
  SPEAKER_00: Jacob would shake.
• 2:04:46
  SPEAKER_00: Likewise.
• 2:04:52
  SPEAKER_00: He puts his hand out to you, Robin.
• 2:04:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, she's not going to shake it.
• 2:04:57
  SPEAKER_00: She just says...
• 2:04:59
  SPEAKER_00: For the future.
• 2:05:03
  SPEAKER_03: He smiles.
• 2:05:06
  SPEAKER_03: I'll get this paperwork sorted out.
• 2:05:09
  SPEAKER_03: We'll talk.
• 2:05:11
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe tomorrow night.
• 2:05:12
  SPEAKER_03: However, and he goes and...
• 2:05:16
  SPEAKER_03: He into the floor, he steps like he gets up and it was clearly behind his desk.
• 2:05:22
  SPEAKER_03: He steps on the floor twice and like a little hunch opens.
• 2:05:27
  SPEAKER_03: He reaches in there.
• 2:05:28
  SPEAKER_03: He takes out like a suitcase, clips it in, reaches in.
• 2:05:33
  SPEAKER_03: You can see him like loading something in the suitcase.
• 2:05:36
  SPEAKER_03: He still open.
• 2:05:38
  SPEAKER_03: He walks it over to you, Jacob, and he just hands it to you.
• 2:05:42
  SPEAKER_03: Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
• 2:05:48
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry, you want us to walk out of this building with this much money?
• 2:05:56
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, you're kindred, right?
• 2:05:59
  SPEAKER_00: Don't lose it.
• 2:06:02
  SPEAKER_00: Have you seen what this city is like?
• 2:06:06
  SPEAKER_00: Be careful.
• 2:06:09
  SPEAKER_00: Drake.
• 2:06:13
  SPEAKER_03: He closes the suitcase, puts the little clips down.
• 2:06:16
  SPEAKER_03: He puts up a finger.
• 2:06:19
  SPEAKER_03: He goes to the one half of the destroyed desk.
• 2:06:22
  SPEAKER_03: He gets out a little master lock and clips it on the briefcase and hands you
• 2:06:29
  SPEAKER_03: the tiny little key.
• 2:06:31
  SPEAKER_00: Extra protection.
• 2:06:36
  SPEAKER_00: I appreciate it.
• 2:06:38
  SPEAKER_00: And then he would take it.
• 2:06:43
  SPEAKER_00: Are we ready to go then, Robin?
• 2:06:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, let's go.
• 2:06:52
  SPEAKER_03: As that's happening, Logan, you come up and you are greeted with the...
• 2:07:05
  SPEAKER_03: The van is okay, except for the...
• 2:07:12
  SPEAKER_03: Back two tires are now on cinder blocks and there's another like small group
• 2:07:19
  SPEAKER_03: of people who are trying to like pull the
• 2:07:22
  SPEAKER_00: tires off the front.
• 2:07:28
  SPEAKER_00: The fuck they are.
• 2:07:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, she gonna
• 2:07:37
  SPEAKER_00: go.
• 2:07:38
  SPEAKER_00: She gonna go.
• 2:07:41
  SPEAKER_01: She's gonna go get him.
• 2:07:42
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if she's gonna hit him or not, but, you know, that depends how they react.
• 2:07:46
  SPEAKER_01: She's gonna use Silence of Death, so she rocks up all of a sudden,
• 2:07:53
  SPEAKER_00: just by her voice.
• 2:07:57
  SPEAKER_00: She's gonna go, What's she doing to our van?
• 2:08:04
  SPEAKER_03: There's like...

  SPEAKER_03: Three on each wheel.
• 2:08:07

• 2:08:16
  SPEAKER_03: The cutie with the booty?
• 2:08:19
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, you're so funny!
• 2:08:21
  SPEAKER_01: Put our tires back or I'll break both your hands.
• 2:08:25
  SPEAKER_01: Ha ha ha!
• 2:08:29
  SPEAKER_03: And laughing,
• 2:08:30
  SPEAKER_03: he just turns around and goes back to try to pull the lug nuts off to take the tire.
• 2:08:37
  SPEAKER_03: Just completely and utterly unfazed by what you just said.
• 2:08:41
  SPEAKER_01: Well, a promise is a promise.
• 2:08:43
  SPEAKER_00: You don't make threats, you don't follow through on.
• 2:08:46
  SPEAKER_00: She
• 2:08:52
  SPEAKER_00: gonna kick him in the hand up against that tire.
• 2:08:58
  SPEAKER_00: Give me Strength and Brawl.
• 2:09:01
  SPEAKER_00: Amazing.
• 2:09:05
  SPEAKER_00: Are you using lethal bodies?
• 2:09:12
  SPEAKER_01: Only if it'll guarantee that it just destroys his hand.
• 2:09:16
  SPEAKER_01: Like, because she got her butt stomper boots on, them steel caps, so it's not unrealistic.
• 2:09:24
  SPEAKER_03: I can't guarantee anything.
• 2:09:26
  SPEAKER_03: Depends on your dice pool and what happens.
• 2:09:32
  SPEAKER_01: I want to guarantee that high level of success isn't high level of damage necessary.
• 2:09:40
  SPEAKER_02: If you touch my fucking van.
• 2:09:42
  SPEAKER_03: I got nothing for you.
• 2:09:45
  SPEAKER_03: You might hit that messy and then we'll see.
• 2:09:47
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 2:09:49
  SPEAKER_03: What do you want to do?
• 2:09:50
  SPEAKER_03: I just tell you what dice to roll.
• 2:09:54
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, she'll stomp his hand then.
• 2:10:01
  SPEAKER_01: She's already got prowess up,
• 2:10:02
  SPEAKER_01: she doesn't need to roll lethal body to fuck up his hand immensely.
• 2:10:06
  SPEAKER_01: How many dice is this?
• 2:10:11
  SPEAKER_01: That's seven, plus prowess is nine.
• 2:10:17
  SPEAKER_03: You're trying to specifically stomp his hand,
• 2:10:20
  SPEAKER_03: so you're going to have a difficulty here if you don't want it to go sideways.
• 2:10:25
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, it's a cold shot.
• 2:10:27
  SPEAKER_01: Minus one or minus two dice.
• 2:10:30
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to call it minus two because his hand is small.
• 2:10:34
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 2:10:37
  SPEAKER_00: Great.
• 2:10:38
  SPEAKER_00: Five successes.

  SPEAKER_00: Five successes.
• 2:10:44
  SPEAKER_03: You...

  SPEAKER_03: He's got it like he's trying to pull it off and you absolutely crush his hand into the tire.
• 2:10:55
  SPEAKER_03: Just meat and bone and his hand almost fucking explodes.
• 2:11:02
  SPEAKER_03: Several of the fingers like pop off.
• 2:11:04
  SPEAKER_03: Just the impact against your foot to the impact of the tire.
• 2:11:10
  SPEAKER_03: His middle finger, his pinky are both just Popped.
• 2:11:14
  SPEAKER_03: His hand is meat on the tire kind of thing.
• 2:11:22
  SPEAKER_00: He screams.
• 2:11:25
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, shh, shh, shh.
• 2:11:30
  SPEAKER_01: Put back the tires, baby girl.
• 2:11:32
  SPEAKER_01: You know, you don't want to see that pretty little bum of yours get beat, do you?
• 2:11:38
  SPEAKER_03: Can't even respond.

• 2:12:12
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like I can go...
• 2:12:13
  SPEAKER_01: I want to say I feel like I can go lethal body, but that feels like a bad idea.
• 2:12:20
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to use Daunt on the guy with the gun specific.
• 2:12:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I want to use Daunt.

  SPEAKER_03: And another one comes who's way more like relaxed.

  SPEAKER_00: You can...
• 2:18:55
  SPEAKER_00: All, no roll acquired.
• 2:18:56
  SPEAKER_03: You can smell, it smells like gas.

  SPEAKER_03: And she's like, please turn that off.
• 2:19:14
  SPEAKER_03: Fine.
• 2:19:14
  SPEAKER_03: And you can see him like make a motion with his thumb.
• 2:19:17
  SPEAKER_03: And although the smell of gas fingers, you can see that like the fumes have turned off.
• 2:19:24
  SPEAKER_00: Tires are back on.
• 2:19:27
  SPEAKER_00: Easy peasy.

  SPEAKER_03: They move the cinder blocks.
• 2:20:01
  SPEAKER_03: The car settles back down.
• 2:20:03
  SPEAKER_03: They follow her, and they kind of just walk down the alley.
• 2:20:10
  SPEAKER_03: Besides the guy holding his hand,
• 2:20:11
  SPEAKER_03: still screaming, there's got to be like 10, 11 of them as they walk away.
• 2:20:20
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 2:20:21
  SPEAKER_02: For anything,
• 2:20:22
  SPEAKER_02: Robin is immediately checking her car to make sure everything else is in order
• 2:20:26
  SPEAKER_02: and there's no scratches or anything.
• 2:20:28
  SPEAKER_02: She's like, I can't believe they touch it.

• 2:20:47
  SPEAKER_01: Logan's just going to I think Princess,
• 2:20:50
  SPEAKER_01: coming out with the other two, comes up next to her and they watch this group leave.
• 2:20:58
  SPEAKER_01: And she's gonna get Princess to go where this mortared chick was standing and say,
• 2:21:04
  SPEAKER_00: Sniff up, I need two uterine mouths.
• 2:21:11
  SPEAKER_03: She does.
• 2:21:12
  SPEAKER_03: And like her nose, she does that thing because she can like smell the gas.
• 2:21:17
  SPEAKER_03: But she acknowledges and she like gives you that like, yep, she can like she's
• 2:21:21
  SPEAKER_00: got it.
• 2:21:36
  SPEAKER_03: Jacob, Robin, give me intelligence or wits and investigation.
• 2:21:49
  SPEAKER_02: Can I debate it being driving, it's about my car?
• 2:21:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, you can absolutely do that.
• 2:21:58
  SPEAKER_00: Two successes.
• 2:22:02
  SPEAKER_00: Two successes.
• 2:22:07
  SPEAKER_00: Six successes.
• 2:22:10
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, six.
• 2:22:12
  SPEAKER_03: As you both kind of like look and check things out,
• 2:22:16
  SPEAKER_03: Jacob, you see that they didn't like tighten the lug nuts.
• 2:22:19
  SPEAKER_03: So, you know, you grab one of the tools, forget what the hell it's called.
• 2:22:23
  SPEAKER_03: You tighten it up, make sure everything's good.
• 2:22:25
  SPEAKER_03: Robin, as you're like,
• 2:22:28
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 2:22:28
  SPEAKER_03: also inspecting,
• 2:22:29
  SPEAKER_03: you start feeling around, you do find what looks like a tiny, Trail camera.
• 2:22:38
  SPEAKER_03: Inside the van, tucked in right where Demi was sitting.
• 2:22:45
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, no.
• 2:22:46
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, she's going to immediately rip it out.
• 2:22:50
  SPEAKER_02: Give it an expectant.
• 2:22:51
  SPEAKER_02: And look about it.
• 2:22:53
  SPEAKER_02: See if there's any SD camera or anything within it.
• 2:22:58
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you take it.
• 2:23:00
  SPEAKER_03: It's a little trail cam.
• 2:23:01
  SPEAKER_03: It's got a little SD card.
• 2:23:03
  SPEAKER_03: Pop right out.
• 2:23:08
  SPEAKER_03: Obviously, it's saving stuff.
• 2:23:09
  SPEAKER_03: Obviously, it's connected to some kind of network, but you've got a hold of it.
• 2:23:16
  SPEAKER_02: Before she does anything,
• 2:23:17
  SPEAKER_02: she actually puts the SD card back in,
• 2:23:20
  SPEAKER_02: make sure it's on,
• 2:23:23
  SPEAKER_02: and then proceed to break it so that they can make sure they know that she saw it.
• 2:23:31
  SPEAKER_03: Makes sense to me.
• 2:23:34
  SPEAKER_02: And then she's going to take out the SD card and keep it in her pocket.
• 2:23:42
  SPEAKER_03: Everything's copacetic.
• 2:23:44
  SPEAKER_03: You guys are a quarter million dollars richer.
• 2:23:47
  SPEAKER_03: I'm sure Dragos will be in touch to get your guys' information so you can come down
• 2:23:52
  SPEAKER_03: to record while you're here in Denver.
• 2:23:55
  SPEAKER_03: As you load back up in the car, I'm going to give you all the scene before we close out.
• 2:24:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 2:24:03
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 2:24:04
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I'm getting really tired of things happening to us.
• 2:24:09
  SPEAKER_00: I can't think we could say that.
• 2:24:17
  SPEAKER_00: I've just kind of accepted at this point, this is
• 2:24:19
  SPEAKER_01: what our own life is like.
• 2:24:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't know.
• 2:24:24
  SPEAKER_00: I think... You first.
• 2:24:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but while they begin talking,
• 2:24:30
  SPEAKER_02: she's going to look around the van and see if there's any, like,
• 2:24:34
  SPEAKER_02: Some vans have like a cooler spot like under the floorboards to keep it like
• 2:24:40
  SPEAKER_02: a cooler and she's going to if it has one and then if it does she's going to put
• 2:24:46
  SPEAKER_02: the case under it.
• 2:24:50
  SPEAKER_03: Yep.
• 2:24:51
  SPEAKER_03: It's your van so you know what's there.
• 2:24:56
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 2:25:00
  SPEAKER_00: I kind of want to happen to other people.
• 2:25:06
  SPEAKER_00: You know?
• 2:25:08
  SPEAKER_00: I'm tired of just taking shit.
• 2:25:17
  SPEAKER_00: Fucking tired of all these people trying to get one over on us.
• 2:25:21
  SPEAKER_00: Fucking tires.

• 2:25:37
  SPEAKER_00: I just... Why...
• 2:25:41
  SPEAKER_00: It just drives me...
• 2:25:42
  SPEAKER_00: I can't do shit because the second we do shit, everything goes to hell.
• 2:25:53
  SPEAKER_00: So we gotta have a plan.
• 2:25:54
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know,
• 2:25:55
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not great at plans,
• 2:25:56
  SPEAKER_00: but what I'm
• 2:25:57
  SPEAKER_01: saying is like... We... We just take shit for like...
• 2:26:03
  SPEAKER_01: The entirety of our road trip.
• 2:26:05
  SPEAKER_01: We're just gonna, like, have a really bad fucking time.
• 2:26:08
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe we should build
• 2:26:10
  SPEAKER_00: a reputation.
• 2:26:10
  SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
• 2:26:14
  SPEAKER_00: You...
• 2:26:24
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe.
• 2:26:25
  SPEAKER_00: That would be nice.
• 2:26:32
  SPEAKER_00: Jacob.
• 2:26:35
  SPEAKER_03: You had mentioned something earlier about all that went down in his office
• 2:26:43
  SPEAKER_03: and you wanting to speak to Logan about it.
• 2:26:47
  SPEAKER_03: Before you do that,
• 2:26:49
  SPEAKER_03: I want your thoughts about this deal,
• 2:26:54
  SPEAKER_03: about the money you have, about what comes next.
• 2:27:01
  SPEAKER_00: This money we have...
• 2:27:04
  SPEAKER_01: Is most likely did not come from a legal source.
• 2:27:08
  SPEAKER_01: Does he really care about that?
• 2:27:10
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 2:27:12
  SPEAKER_00: But is he sceptical about
• 2:27:18
  SPEAKER_01: this kindred trying to tack on extra fees so that we owe him more?
• 2:27:24
  SPEAKER_01: Most certainly.
• 2:27:27
  SPEAKER_01: But playing as a good businessman for the moment Is what's more important
• 2:27:34
  SPEAKER_00: to keep
• 2:27:35
  SPEAKER_00: the band afloat?
• 2:27:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's a lot of money.
• 2:27:45
  SPEAKER_03: I would say that you rolled early.
• 2:27:47
  SPEAKER_03: You rolled pretty good for something.
• 2:27:51
  SPEAKER_03: He's obviously some sort of fady business dude, right?
• 2:27:55
  SPEAKER_03: Like, clearly he's a vampire.
• 2:27:57
  SPEAKER_03: Clearly he's up to some shit.
• 2:27:59
  SPEAKER_03: However, what he did present you with initially...
• 2:28:03
  SPEAKER_03: Was like a pretty standard deal.
• 2:28:07
  SPEAKER_03: And a little higher on the rate, but that's because you guys are, you know, wanting a single.
• 2:28:14
  SPEAKER_03: Outside of that, everything seemed pretty level.
• 2:28:18
  SPEAKER_03: The money's definitely from illegal sources.
• 2:28:21
  SPEAKER_03: Whether he's trying to clean it through you, who knows.
• 2:28:24
  SPEAKER_03: But the money's good.
• 2:28:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:28:30
  SPEAKER_01: There's still just that odd feeling about him.
• 2:28:34
  SPEAKER_01: On knowing he's going to try to take more of our cuts.
• 2:28:40
  SPEAKER_01: By trying to tack on extra fees eventually.
• 2:28:43
  SPEAKER_00: Even if it's not this deal.
• 2:28:48
  SPEAKER_00: All shady businessmen do.
• 2:28:50
  SPEAKER_00: I like it.
• 2:28:51
  SPEAKER_00: It's still your scene.
• 2:28:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, fuck.
• 2:29:22
  SPEAKER_00: Let's try to avoid the drug maker.
• 2:29:30
  SPEAKER_00: Lest we see of them easier our time here will be.
• 2:29:37
  SPEAKER_00: I just want to see them once, in a very final sense.
• 2:29:51
  SPEAKER_00: As long as you're being cautious.
• 2:30:00
  SPEAKER_00: Hey Logan.
• 2:30:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:30:06
  SPEAKER_00: Have you ever sharpened the steak before?
• 2:30:11
  SPEAKER_00: How hard can it be?
• 2:30:15
  SPEAKER_00: How about I give you some tips?
• 2:30:22
  SPEAKER_00: And she'll like give like a look of like, I know we have to do this.
• 2:30:34
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 2:30:36
  SPEAKER_00: Fuck.
• 2:30:37
  SPEAKER_00: Fuck, I'm so mad right now.
• 2:30:40
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 2:30:43
  SPEAKER_00: This is gonna make great song material.
• 2:30:45
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 2:30:50
  SPEAKER_00: Harry got a song title worked out.
• 2:30:52
  SPEAKER_00: Friend or food.
• 2:30:53
  SPEAKER_00: Ooh.
• 2:31:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 2:31:03
  SPEAKER_00: Get ready.
• 2:31:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:31:10
  SPEAKER_00: We do still need to find a new place to stay tonight.
• 2:31:14
  SPEAKER_01: I don't fancy, feel like, waking up feeling like a pile of shit.
• 2:31:22
  SPEAKER_02: Let's find somewhere, like, that doesn't, that isn't so gingy this time.
• 2:31:30
  SPEAKER_01: There's Motel 6, if I'm remembering correctly.
• 2:31:34
  SPEAKER_01: And yeah,
• 2:31:35
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want to kill that dude,
• 2:31:36
  SPEAKER_01: which I really feel like I might if I rock back up there.
• 2:31:39
  SPEAKER_01: It would
• 2:31:41
  SPEAKER_00: also suck for both of us if we sleep there again.
• 2:31:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:31:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:31:52
  SPEAKER_03: You've got a quarter million dollars in cash.
• 2:31:58
  SPEAKER_03: You can go wherever you want to go and stay there.
• 2:32:04
  SPEAKER_03: Buy a house if you want to.
• 2:32:06
  SPEAKER_03: Or as close to one as you could get.
• 2:32:07
  SPEAKER_03: Houses are expensive.
• 2:32:09
  SPEAKER_03: But you tell me.
• 2:32:12
  SPEAKER_00: You're trying to sleep pretty tonight?
• 2:32:14
  SPEAKER_00: What do you want to do?
• 2:32:26
  SPEAKER_02: Robin's going to go somewhere in the middle of the road.
• 2:32:29
  SPEAKER_02: Anywhere too high profile means that there's Too many eyes on it.
• 2:32:35
  SPEAKER_02: Somewhere in the middle of the road,
• 2:32:37
  SPEAKER_02: which is comfortable to sleep in,
• 2:32:38
  SPEAKER_02: but not enough people give a shit about to pay attention to.
• 2:32:42
  SPEAKER_00: I like it.
• 2:32:50
  SPEAKER_00: Easy enough.
• 2:32:52
  SPEAKER_03: You look up on your phone...
• 2:32:54
  SPEAKER_03: You find like a Hilton Hotel.
• 2:32:57
  SPEAKER_03: It's like a four or five star place.
• 2:32:59
  SPEAKER_03: Not crazy.
• 2:32:59
  SPEAKER_03: You're not spending the night in, you know, the penthouse room or anything like that.
• 2:33:04
  SPEAKER_03: But you get a really nice place.
• 2:33:07
  SPEAKER_03: Easy.
• 2:33:08
  SPEAKER_03: Guy tells you how much it is.
• 2:33:09
  SPEAKER_03: It's negligible in the grand scale of things.
• 2:33:14
  SPEAKER_03: Might be like $600 in that kind of thing.
• 2:33:17
  SPEAKER_03: But it's secure.
• 2:33:18
  SPEAKER_03: You ask for, you know, certain amenities.
• 2:33:22
  SPEAKER_03: Easy, easy, easy.
• 2:33:26
  SPEAKER_03: You guys are no longer operating with cash anymore.
• 2:33:32
  SPEAKER_03: Like, you're not counting.
• 2:33:34
  SPEAKER_03: You now have dots in resources that you can use.
• 2:33:41
  SPEAKER_03: Right now, you have what's equivalent to like three and a half, almost four dots.
• 2:33:48
  SPEAKER_03: It will go quickly depending on what you buy and what you don't buy.
• 2:33:53
  SPEAKER_03: However,
• 2:33:54
  SPEAKER_03: I will maybe put a coterie sheet together now,
• 2:33:57
  SPEAKER_03: and you have the equivalent of about three and a half dots worth
• 2:34:01
  SPEAKER_03: of straight up resources.
• 2:34:04
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it's cash.
• 2:34:08
  SPEAKER_03: As you all check in, head to your room, gives you the key.
• 2:34:13
  SPEAKER_03: It's on like the sixth floor.
• 2:34:15
  SPEAKER_03: You've got an inner room, you know, you can probably set up
• 2:34:20
  SPEAKER_03: I already know how you're all feeling.
• 2:34:23
  SPEAKER_03: A little stressed,
• 2:34:24
  SPEAKER_03: a little rich,
• 2:34:25
  SPEAKER_03: a little caught up in some bullshit you might not want to be caught up in.
• 2:34:31
  SPEAKER_03: But I'd like to know,
• 2:34:35
  SPEAKER_03: as we close out, where your minds are in relation to what's next for the band.
• 2:34:44
  SPEAKER_03: Because things have drastically changed with a deal And a lot of money in your pocket.
• 2:34:52
  SPEAKER_03: Let's start, as usual, with Jacob.
• 2:34:58
  SPEAKER_00: For the band,
• 2:35:03
  SPEAKER_01: he is glad that they have managed to procure this money for amenities and supplies
• 2:35:12
  SPEAKER_01: so we can scale stuff up slowly.
• 2:35:17
  SPEAKER_00: So he's glad on that end.
• 2:35:22
  SPEAKER_00: But there's still the thought of it would have just been easier
• 2:35:28
  SPEAKER_00: to
• 2:35:30
  SPEAKER_01: possibly throw this deal away and stick to what has been getting us by.
• 2:35:37
  SPEAKER_01: But he does know that is not their end goal.
• 2:35:42
  SPEAKER_01: And that doing that for the rest of eternity will eventually get boring or
• 2:35:47
  SPEAKER_01: The past will catch up.
• 2:35:51
  SPEAKER_03: That's true.
• 2:35:52
  SPEAKER_03: That's very, very true.
• 2:35:55
  SPEAKER_03: Everybody wants to stay independent,
• 2:35:57
  SPEAKER_03: stay indie, but a quarter million dollars is hard to ignore.
• 2:36:03
  SPEAKER_00: I can respect that.
• 2:36:08
  SPEAKER_00: Logan?
• 2:36:10
  SPEAKER_00: Logan?
• 2:36:12
  SPEAKER_01: That went so fucking mad.
• 2:36:14
  SPEAKER_01: She hears the drums of war.
• 2:36:16
  SPEAKER_01: I think she only sort of is clocked that they ended up getting that deal.
• 2:36:23
  SPEAKER_01: I think she just...
• 2:36:26
  SPEAKER_01: The music is starting up in a very emotional sense.
• 2:36:32
  SPEAKER_01: There's a motivation happening in her.
• 2:36:35
  SPEAKER_01: And it's a lot of rage.
• 2:36:38
  SPEAKER_01: And...
• 2:36:41
  SPEAKER_01: Somehow, in all of this mix, a bit of it's getting directed at Jacob,
• 2:36:47
  SPEAKER_00: because she's so hungry.
• 2:36:56
  SPEAKER_00: That is a totally reasonable,
• 2:36:59
  SPEAKER_03: reasonable thing.
• 2:37:00
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, it's totally unreasonable, but reasonable for it.
• 2:37:07
  SPEAKER_00: Robin?
• 2:37:11
  SPEAKER_00: Robin is just
• 2:37:13
  SPEAKER_02: feeling a mix of every shade of irritated.
• 2:37:18
  SPEAKER_02: She hates this deal.
• 2:37:21
  SPEAKER_02: She hates this drug deal.
• 2:37:23
  SPEAKER_02: She hates everything right now.
• 2:37:25
  SPEAKER_02: She's just, like, taking it in as she works on her new fake ID.
• 2:37:33
  SPEAKER_02: And she's just thinking about it.
• 2:37:35
  SPEAKER_02: Her plans of how they're gonna take this on.
• 2:37:39
  SPEAKER_02: Just...
• 2:37:41
  SPEAKER_02: Right now her favorite plan is getting the single done,
• 2:37:47
  SPEAKER_02: telling them to go fuck themselves,
• 2:37:49
  SPEAKER_02: killing this drug dealer, and then getting the fuck out and never coming back.
• 2:38:02
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, we'll see, right?
• 2:38:09
  SPEAKER_03: As you all get your room set up,
• 2:38:12
  SPEAKER_03: there's not much time left in the evening,
• 2:38:14
  SPEAKER_03: but if you wanted to talk before we close out,
• 2:38:18
  SPEAKER_03: you can do that,
