S1-Ep.5: Scratching the Surface Pt.2 · The Teamup Play Show Podcast

  Speaker 1: You're listening to a lily Pad production.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: This is the Team Up Play Show podcast.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Previously in the City of Bones.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: In a hidden laboratory on the northernmost point of town
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: where city abruptly becomes desert Quanta, your father is tied
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to a chair and struck in the freshly bruised face.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Next to your father's chair is a bucket for waist too.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Close to that is a plate with an old sandwich
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: on it. And in the lab there is a table
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: with a day woman strapped on it. Her limbs are
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: pulled off and strapped down. Her complex inner tubing is exposed,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: and a broken device that one might wear on their
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: shoulders is sitting next to her on the table, attached
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: to a day spine. She goes up to the baby
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: grand piano in the front hall. She plays six notes
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: in a specific rhythm. One of the mahogany pillars shifts
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: a stairwell down down past what you might know is
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the basement. Jamir, you should go first. As you walk
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: by her, she grabs an enormous switch, flips it up.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: You come around the ben Jamir as concrete stare turns
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: in to stone and brick, and then to earth lights
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: come on six different pedestals, holding different iterations of the
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: ever wing suit. The ever wing suits shimmer brightly in
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the beams of piercing light. Their empty eyes stare in
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: an eternal scowl, daring the ghosts of older evils to
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: peek their heads out in risk of being set upon
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: by the ever watching everwing. The first suit is shoddy
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: and ragged painted leather held together by laces and straps.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Its form is vaguely feminine, and the helm and wings
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: droop from use. After that, there is a drastic upgrade
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: in technology, visible clunky gears, power, unenhanced, and heavy exo
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: skeleton made of iron and steel. There are two like this,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: dark gray and in a male shape, with snatching talons
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: sprouting from the boots. The following and final three suits
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: shines silver and gold. Each is more sleek and elegant
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: than the last, long metal wings that brush the ground,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: light yet sturdy armor, impossibly pieced together, a pronounced silver
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: helm that sprouts smaller wings accented by opal and alabaster,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: small and dangerous claws shaped like lightning in the gloves
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: and the boots. The male shape is lost in these
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: three for a distinctly feminine shape that inspires thoughts of
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the grace flight of the swan and the vicious hunting
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: flight of the falcon. You feel here on this hollowed
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: ground the presence of a hero of the founding age.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: V ev A way, Jamir, what the hell you didn't
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: tell us you were ever Wing?
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: I put my hand on the glass, ignoring Jason for
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: a moment, my eyes lock with the masked visage in
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: front of me. She never told me, She never told
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: any of us my grandma was everwing, or was one
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: of the ever wings. That makes sense. You turn around
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: and Jason is wearing the leather masks.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: What come on that?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Look you?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: This is? This is These are my grandma's clothes.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: You don't.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: You don't go any someone's grandma's house and put on
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: their clothes.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: But look, look there's some beautiful they're like begging to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: be put on. Don't tell me you don't.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: Want to put on one of them. This is, I
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: don't know, the least nice one. You should try to
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: look at this one. I point to the one with
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: the lightning clause. Oh, she's so beautiful. Come on, let
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: me let me can I can?
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I belave no, no, no, no. We have to figure
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: out what's going on. And I don't want to no disrespect,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: but damage. These these are antiques.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: These what like like sixty years makes an anty.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: This is a part of superhero history, a big part,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: maybe the biggest that we have in physical remains.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Maria steps forward into the light and says, there's something
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: that might help. She heads over to the wall. So
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I'll describe the layout a little bit here. Where the
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: suits are are to the left of how you came
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: down the stairwell, and then beyond the suits there is
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: a dip into a enormous tunnel. On the ceiling of
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: that tunnel are uh the pneumatic tubes that run through
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: this part of the city.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Wait, like we just see them running through where we
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: can see an entrance, an entrance of what like, sorry,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: is there a deposit? Can we can we put something?
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: You just see them running up? This is? This is?
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: This would be.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: There's a deep underground like tunnel system that gives access
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: to parts where the pneumatic tubes might break, and there
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: would be I think, honestly, I'll take that back. I
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: think there would be a special offshoot that comes off
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: and goes over your heads to stuff to the right
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: side of this cave, which is an enormous computer in
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the wall. Dug into the cave, there's this huge tube screen,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: a slew of buttons and switches that activate the different
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: functions of this monster computer. Maria goes over there and
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: there's a button. There's a little piece of tape that says,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: just push this, and there's a little button there that
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: she pushes and the screen comes to life, and Jimir,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: you see Zara Dodd, your grandma, beautiful old black woman
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: with curled silver hair, and she starts speaking. You hear
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: her voice through the speaker also in the wall. Hey there,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: star Ed, Well, if you're watching this, the secret's out. Huh.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Cynthia was instructed to wait until she thought you were
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: ready to show you this part of my history.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: You look over at Maria and she mouths.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: My mom as, Cynthia, I trust your instincts, so don't
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: you dare put on one of those suits, until she says.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: I've put on another piece wall. When we're watching the video,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: I'm wearing like the wings are just dragging on the floor.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: You give thumbs up.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Kill this, She continues, Also Jamir I don't want to
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: force my path onto you, So if the suit isn't
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: for you, I trust you and Cynthia to find out
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: who it's for. The world needs heroes, Jamir, the city
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: needs heroes. I'll answer what questions I could guess that
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: you'll ask, So here goes. I tried for a very
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: long time to gain some insight into magic. When the
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Evos were still on the earth, there was so much
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: wonder and people were reaching for stars and for the spirit.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: There were other people who found power through the magics
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: of this world.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: And never let anybody tell you that everybody was just
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: an emo.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: That's not true. Yeah, I studied, I studied, I tried,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: and I tried, but I couldn't do it. I didn't
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: have the spark, I guess, no matter how many spells
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: I memorized or rituals I practiced. But that wasn't going
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: to stop your grandma from being one of the greatest
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: heroes of the age.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Some mere smiles broadly. So I made a suit. It's
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: it's fashioned after.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Some of our ancestors and people laughed at me at
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: first that that first suit is laughable. I just keep
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: it around for posterity. No You're not the poutity quiet.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I was then approached by a benefactor, a benefactor who
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: offered me, offered to take my designs and make me
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: something better, and that's where the next two suits came from.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: My benefactor thought that the mail shape would help my
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: hero image, thought it would help people to trust me.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you think, but I think those
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: two are scarier than even the first one.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: But whatever, he had the money, I needed it.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: But when the Range and War Hero came to New Babbel,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: it became a little more normalized to be a woman
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: and a hero. So I asked for a rebrand, and
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: that's when the true Everwing was born. That's when my
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: benefactor made the Everhart, which allowed me to be faster, stronger,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: and lighter than ever before. It should still be there somewhere.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: It's not supposed to ever die.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Everard. I love you, Jimmy.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: You get to decide now if your obsession with hero
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: is a hobby or a calling. You can sit in
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: the comfort and escape of your dreaming, or you can
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: take the fucking hint and fight.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: She winks.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I think I already know what you're gonna choose. I
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: love your star id, I love you, Granny, and the
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: screen who goes out wow, and Maria says, yeah, So
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: that's why I was worried. My mom was supposed to
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: greet you and supposed to help you and show you
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: down here one day it wasn't meant to be me.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: And she told me that I was supposed to wait
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: till you're ready. But I don't exactly know what that means.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: I'm only okay, it's okay, But this next question I
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: asked you, Yeah, I'm gonna need the full truth sure,
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: or all of us could be in big danger. How
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: many people know about this place? And who are they?
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: The only people that knew about this place are me,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: my mom, and ever Wing's compatriots when they were all heroes.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: And now we know I'm wearing like a full like
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: corset of armor.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: At this point, Maria looks at you and just like
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: she said, not to wear that until you're ready.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: It's very supportive.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Though he's not. He's a fool. What about this benefactor?
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Who was this? Who was this person that was funding
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: and helping build these things? And presumed the person who
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: got us got her this house?
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I was never told I'm curious
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: and she's telling the truth. Yeah, go ahead and roll.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Oh by the way, listeners, we're still in the beta
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: of Team Up, and I have changed I have changed.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: The depths of that beta.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: I have changed the vision uh skill two since because
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: it covers a lot more than just your sight. I
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: like that, So roll a sense check, Jamir. That's a
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: that's a chunky four for Jamir. Hey, I'm rolling an average,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: rolling an average check. So I'm only a D eight.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: You are in.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I rolled a seven. You're not certain if she's telling
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: the truth or not. She sounds as sincere.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I'm curious about this ever hurt she mentioned, and I
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: want to scan the place with new eyes, looking for
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: like as strong source of power.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, roll a sense check. I like sense Good ones, Johnny.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Ten ten.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: I rolled as good as I could. I rolled a
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: six on a ten. There's a lot you gain here.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: There is on either side of this supercomputer in the wall,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: there are two curved doorways that don't actually have doors,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: but they're just entryways into a back room that's fully
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: electric or fully set up with electricity. There are lights
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: and air condition and anything else you would need. And
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: then there are offshooting rooms from that. This is a
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: full kind of living space down here. And you do
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: sense the suits. I think the first the first three
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: just don't have Yes, the first three just don't have
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: much electricity or power running through them. But the final
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: three you sense a lot of pathways in those that
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: would simulate the human movement systems. And then you do
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: sense an immense powerful source of energy. It is electric
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: and it's not. It's different, but it's giving off so
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: much power, and it is.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: There's a locked drawer here like where, just like by
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the computer. I make the last three suits point at
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: that drawer. I think it's in there.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Do you mind, jamyr may I as I'm still wearing
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: like a bunch of armor, trying to now be polite,
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: and I pointed the drawer. I form a little key
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: out of paper.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: No, no, Maria, give me the give me the real key.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: I don't want to jam up this lock with the
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: paper key, right, I think they left me the keys.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: I'll go see she runs upstairs.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I don't follow her physically, what I keep my sense
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: open to her to see where she goes.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's rustling around in her basement apartment. I guess
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I'll just put my hand on the desk to see
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: if there's any paper in there in the drawer. Go
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: ahead and roll a sense check. Yeah, that's a twelve
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: for paper.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Fantal.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Wow, you guys are sensy, very fun. I was only
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: going to give you this on a successful roll, and
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: you beat me by five. Not much paper here, but
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: one weakness and there's not much paper, a lack of paper,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: and also water and also scissors and also fire.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: But my other one weakness.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Not much paper. There's a drawer that is not locked
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: on the other side of the kind of desk area here,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: and in that drawer there's there are some papers. There's
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: nothing too crazy uh in there, but you do ugh yeah,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: on beating me more than five. There's two things you find.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: One of them is the schematics to the drawn schematics
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: to the everheart. Oh and what you note in the
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: bottom right hand corner of these drawn schematics is E E.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: There are two e's Ellington.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: That's my thought. I know ann Ellington, but I think
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: his first name is Manny could be you know an Ellington.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: I work at a public government building sort of a thing.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: I see him. He likes to read. But would I
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: know the family history of the Ellington's.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: So there's a ee could also just be for Ellington Electric.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Oh sure his company. Uh you can roll a roll
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: a a knowledge check on on the history of the
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Ellington Ellington's. Sure.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's one one on a D twelve fields.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Bad. Okay, you do not know anything about the history
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: of the Ellington's. The other thing that you noticed that's
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: paper is it's very similar to the other notes that
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Zara seems to have left behind. It, says aesthetic consultant
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Esthetic and design consultant Sasha Martin Glass of Sass, say

  Speaker 4: have a couple of people that come.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: To mind at this moment.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Maria comes pattering down the stairs with a set of keys. Uh,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: these are the keys they left there, and she gives
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: you the key to the drawer.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Maria.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: I mean this guy just kind of chanted out loud,
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: but thank you. I opened the drawer and look at
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: the paper that Phantom had already sensed.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Oh so that drawer is unlocked. There's a there's another drawer.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: There's another drawer where Quantas sensed like very likely that.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I'll so I take the keys, I say,
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: case this explodes.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: It's been.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Quite the journey knowing you for the last few days.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Friends.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: It's it's not going to, is it? With my sense before.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Put on armor just in case, right, No, no, no
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: one touched the suits.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to. I respect your wishes.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: I'm at this point. I put everything back except the helmet.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: I'm still wearing that one.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: I think it's okay to open I think we're safe.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: Okay, I gingerly insert the key into the whole grouse.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: What stop? Stop enjoying it.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not enjoying this, enjoying this.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I think Jamiir is pretty ecstatic at this moment, I'm
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I'm ecstatic, not not aroused.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Jamiir opens up the drawer and looks inside. Here there
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: is a mold of golden felt, and sitting neatly in
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: a perfect imprint is a prismatic diamond with inside a
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: swirling blue helix.
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: Oh so many shapes? Yeah, that's pretty at least two.
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: So this is this is the thing. This is what
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: gave everywing the power to get stuff done.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: This is little.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: Power the next every wing. Yeah, I feel like we
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: have a tryout. Should we thank on this for a
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: couple of weeks? I mean, I mean, I mean, I
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: do like where your head's at. Thank you, I do.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: You knows as much as it pains me to not
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: climb in one of those things, Ian, we're barely figured
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: it out more right, But how do I don't I
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: don't feel equipped to judge somebody, to know what qualities
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: this kind of thing requires.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Maria pipes up, taking a little bit more stance in
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: the room than she has yet, and says, the work
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: was placed on me my mom to choose when Jamiro
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: would be ready, and then me when my mom passed,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: And I believe she taught me what to look for,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: and I believe I should have a say and who
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: gets to wear the suit and who takes the other heart?
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Oh you want it?
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: No, No, that's not what I meant at all. It's okay,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: You're allowed to.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Want She doesn't. She doesn't want it, does she?
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: It doesn't seem like, yeah, I just my job was
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: to wait for Zara's replacement, the next ever wing. And
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: now that Jamiir's here, But it seems though you have
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: powers already, Jamir, so you're looking for you're looking for
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: someone else. And that was my whole job. That was
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: supposed to be my whole life. So I can help.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, you sure you don't want to put this thing?
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Stop trying to paint it off on other people.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Now he's letting people just jump in at Willy Nilly.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: I guess well, no, I mean this is this is
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: her home, and she took care of this her whole life.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: She's guarded this secret and well and now it sounds
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: like you're saying you don't want it. That's that's taking
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: all of the purpose out of this poor woman's life.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: No offense, Marie. It's a patter on the shoulder. Wearing
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: the grandmother's mask. You should take it off. I agree,
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: it's fine. It's kind of hard to see it anyway. Yeah,
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: I don't want to pressure you, Maria.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, I have a friend that jumps to mind,
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: and a sister or three, but.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I have a I have a couple of friends. But again,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: as much as I would love to have a try,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: this is this is your legacy, this is your family.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: So I do think it should be up to the
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: two of you, Jimir and Maria. Jason and I just
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: happen to be here, and.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: I don't think any of this just happened. But thank
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: you Ermie. We should we should give it time. Yeah
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: time time sounds right, But I I don't care what
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: any deed or anything says. This is your house, Maria,
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: and it was your mother's house before you. I really
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: want you to think about this. If anyone should have
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: a cracket putting this on the years of work that
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: your mother and you have put in being a part
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: of all this, I mean, putting on the suit, you're
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: risking your life. So it's not a light thing. But
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: I mean we've already kind of tipped our hand to
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: you that none of us are normal folk anymore. You're
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: already in in a circle of trust.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know. You don't have to you don't have
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: to do, you don't have to know. It's all good.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, So we're just gonna leave these suits here for
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: a while until we feel okay, I'm today. Okay, that's fine,
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: that's fine. Is there a place we can talk down here?
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: I I want to explore more, like what else you know?
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Is there is there side rooms? Is there a pantry
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: as you said there was living quarters? Is there like
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: a place we could gather?
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I think I as Jimyer says this, and I'd like
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: sensed further into it. Ronica sees his excitement at the
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: discovery and just says, I think there's some places through here,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: but doesn't like go into detail or anything so that
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: he can explore.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: That's very sweet, you guys.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Head towards the back, the other side of this wall,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: and there's a lounge here, lots of dusty old chairs.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: There's a TV down here. There are a few phones
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: in the wall that Ronnie, you realize are disconnected, but
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: a few old phones that seem to be calling calling devices,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: but obviously but like for special things.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: A calling device. I sent several calling devices.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: There's kind of a small kitchenette here in this lounge area,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: and then there are four rooms that have beds in them.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: It is pretty, it's pretty cave like. It's not super nice.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: It may have been in its day, but it is.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: It is old and nasty down here. Yes, oh man.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine sixty years ago, probably all the heroes
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: were in and out of this place. I don't I'm
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: excited to learn more about them. I don't know much,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: but it is cool to know that other people were
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: doing something similar to what we might be trying to
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: do at some point in history.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Jason, think about it. Spellbook could have set right there.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: I rub the seat of a chair.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Wow, I get the little zaps of electricity.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I mean, your grandma's message was beautiful, but
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: she's gone, So I don't know. Should we try and
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: follow in our footsteps, use this place, use her knowledge,
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: use her connections? Do do we think there's more? Is
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: anyone else we could talk to?
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: I look at Maria, and I do say, Maria, is
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: there any entrances or exits to this place besides the
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: one in the house?
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, of course. The tunnel the walls to the tunnel
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: down there are illusory. You can go through them and
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: access the tunnels that hold the pneumatic tubes throughout the city.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Illusory tunnel.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Deech. Wow.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: They were ahead of their time.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: So we could just follow those and go out many places.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, these pneumatic tunnels are below the subway and below sewers,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: so some places you can come up and the sewer tunnels,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: someplace you can come up in the subway tunnels, and
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: some go right up to the city floor. And we
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: can use these tunnels. My mom told me that's what
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: they did to keep sneaking in and out of this place. Guy.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we can get here from anywhere we need.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: That's that's so cool.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, new rule from now on, none of us
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: walk to this place.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Okay, I know I'm being followed at least occasionally by
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: people from the city government.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Let's not risk it anymore. Okay, Okay, deal.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: Let's go down some tubes, figure out where things come
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: and go, and let's start learning this tube land.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, agreed, Tube party.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: Can we spend some time figuring out the tubes?
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: JH. So I think we need to. We're still in
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: threadchasing in our DWN time.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Your right, I'm just trying to think of a better
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: phrase than tube party.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Tube tube time to tube edit that out. There's tube town,
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: tube tube land.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Tube time like tube time, it's tube time, baby.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: So if if one, if if one or more of
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: you want to add tube time to your thread chasing,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: you can, or you can wait until we're done with
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: thread chasing and we'll just do that in the normal
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: normal Is this is this.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: A continuation of Dirk thread or is this a separate thread?
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: This feels meaedy. Yeah, I'm gonna say because yeah, I'm
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: trying to keep track. So there was the thread of
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: trying to find out more about past hero. Yes, this
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: has very much to do with that. Yes, and that
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: started with a talk with Jackie. So I'm going to
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: say that is one thread for everyone, and then and Jamir,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: but that counts as just one thread for you, Jamir,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: so you still have two and then waking up Dirk
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: one is one thread just for a quanta.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, so I have two more?
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, okay, Jason, you still have three threads right, yep?
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Nice?
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, So this is an amazing discovery. You found the
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: nest of the ever wing. Oh, and it is Jamir's grandma.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Just to be real clear, what Jamir's grandma knows everywhere?
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: What other threads are we chasing?
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: Y'all?
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: I want Ronica wants to go looking for her dad,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: so she hasn't heard from him, so I think she
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: would start with Gabe since he's still at the church,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: to see what he's heard, to have him dig a
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: little deeper.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Got it, all right, Let's do a role for Gabe ooh,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: to see if he can sniff out where your dad
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: has been. Is there any way you can help gate?
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: That's what I was just thinking. Okay, so I was thinking,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: we have the earpiece, I could be talking to him,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: just like helping him as he's talking to people. I
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: was high up, so maybe there were some like but
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: also he was he was kind of my butler. So
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: or are there like passwords or pass codes that he
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: or I might know? But they might have changed those
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: by now since they called me a murder and kicked
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: me out. Yeah, A lot of my stuff, like everything
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: I could think of is just I'm present. I'm physically present, right.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: I think he gave when you float The idea just says,
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: why don't you you could like sit on a building,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: like close outside, and you could tell me where people are.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Can't you even like change some people's emotions?
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Or Yeah?
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: So if I ask somebody a question and they don't
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: want to tell me, maybe you could like play with
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: that a little bit.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: That's such a good idea.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, it seems hard because you know you'd have to
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: reach pretty far with your powers.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: But I'll try it, Okay, I mean as long as
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: you feel safe. Yeah, yeah, sure, man, Why didn't I
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: think of that? That's okay, that's why you have friends.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: I do a little smile.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Gabe heads in, starts asking around. He's taking the angle
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: of like, hey, we kicked out Ronnie. Whatever happened to
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Ronnie's dead?
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I'm doing my best paper phantom roof creep. Yeah,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: with my knees up to my face. Got it, that's
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: how you do.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Creep. Gabe rolls a defour for investigation, all right, and
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: no powers. Because Gabe doesn't have powers. What are you
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: rolling to add?
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: I just add a power, not a skill, correct, I
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: would add, yeah, either synaptic scan or control electricity to
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: help calm the emotions.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think control electricity probably help.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: The person he's talking to be more receptive. We're willing
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: to answer two.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Two.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: He rolled three, so you guys got five total. Okay,
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: this is a difficult check. So I'm rolling a D twelve.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: I rolled a nine. Gabe walking through No One gives
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: him a straight answer about your dad, and people start
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: to get a little bit suspicious.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, the ones who start to get suspicious, I want
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: to wipe that memory that Gabe asked them.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Ooh yeah, okay, roll roll street smarts plus your control electricity,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: all right, seven or no, this would be knowledge plus
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: control electricity.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Dang, just reroll it all okay four?
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Four?
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: I rolled two, so you're able to wipe these wipe
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: these questions of Gabe out and Gabe, it seems safe.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, thanks for trying. Yeah, sorry, No, it's okay. They
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: won't remember that you asked.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: Oh good.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: As he's walking out, he says, okay, if they can
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: give me anything, who else would know?
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe Dirk, my dad, like was his doctor. Uh huh,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: maybe he would know. Okay, try.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, you crash back to a hole to get back
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: to the place. I think we can keep going on
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: this thread if.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: You wanna feel allowed?
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah you Dirk again?

• 39:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, thank you. I go down to the fridge,
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: pull it out. I like rub it with my hands
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: to warm it out. I don't know if the.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Heat matters for that, but I don't know either.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Do you do you want privacy here? Can I? Oh?
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Come on, great, Jason, do you want to be there

• 40:01
  Speaker 3: I'll be upstairs.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Cool Now we can have moved him to the Everwing nest.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, so he's down the Everwing nest. You
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: put some blood in him? He sits up? Put some blood? Oh, Ronnie, Hi, Hello,
• 40:19

• 40:24
  Speaker 2: it's hard to keep me up and about I don't
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: want to ask for more blood.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: And I feel a little awkward about waking you up
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: just so I can ask you questions. But that's what
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: I'm doing.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 40:43

  Speaker 1: that you committed, he's he's nowhere to be found by me.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Do you know where he could have gone or where
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: the church could have taken him?
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Lance was kind to me in some horrible moments. They
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: when they didn't want me to remember, they would take
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: me to what was it called I can see the
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: neon visions call it's a Delphite lounge. And what's al
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Delphite lounge is to my understanding, they and your era
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: have figured out how to isolate certain parts of the
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: nectar that flows through us. They used to say something
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: about visions. Yeah, and you could relive those visions. I
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: never had a vision that I'm that I remember again.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: They took me there to wipe certain parts of my
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: memory so that but then before when we woke you up,
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: a lot of them are coming back. What you said
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: that there were lots of things that you weren't supposed
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: to remember, but you were about the creation of the day,
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: and I don't that doesn't I don't remember that. No,
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: I look at your mirror, I narrow my eyes. What
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: about everwing.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Everwing rings a bell somewhere. My mind is twisted broken.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: I look at your mirror. Maybe Jason does have really
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: good blood called down.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: From upstir you guys beat my blood. No, we're good.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: Maybe it might be I cut my head.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: It's fine, that's good.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: That's the that's the variable that I can think of.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: Swum under that's just covered in blood, comes down, geez dirty.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: No subtlety from him.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: I would be surprised if it has anything to do
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: with blood. I don't know. I feel.
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: We could try. For side's sake.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: I know that I'm sorry.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: But if your father wasn't operating me under the church,
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: operating on me under the church, he was, he was
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: there at at the Vision's call, the Delphied Lounge, I
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: would try there.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Thank you, okay, And you did you. You were telling
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: us things about the creation of the day and about
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: the womb and where day nectar came from.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: He looks off into the mid distance and just says,
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. The earliest thing I remember is wandering into
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: the light of a street lamp and being found by
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: a young dory.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're just gonna stay here until you pass out.

• 44:54
  Speaker 2: he wakes up for a very short amount of time,
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: and and there's no difference.
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: Thank god. I mean it would have been nice. But man,
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: if Jason's blood was somehow.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: He does not need another reason. Yeah, that would have
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: been cut his hands open.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: Do you do you want me to take any damage?
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: I've definitely cut both hands, not the same cut. Yeah,

• 45:32
  Speaker 1: If you want you said you were doing something.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: Else, Well I wanted to well simultaneously, if it's possible,

  Speaker 3: I'd like to to try and just if they're distracted,
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: I want to feel all of Jimir's grandma's books upstairs,
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: like Limory and just like trying.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Your bloodied hand.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I'm just upsma creeping.
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: So I want to know.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: Go ahead and roll a sneak check, Jimmy, or rolla
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: sense check.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: What about Maria Marias Listen, I.
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: Know Jason's on my team, but I kind of wanted
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: him to get caught red handed trying flood handed.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: Maria is busy, busy, I'm sneaky. I got three, I
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: got fifteen. Oh what the hell you can roll that?
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: There's fifteens. Deema, the paper phantom becomes one with the
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: walls and the shadows, and sneaks all the way upstairs,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: pushing out your sense of all things paper into the
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: office of who you now know to be the ever
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: wing roll a sense check. The amount of stuff you
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: could get here is pretty big, so so you could
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: have me roll difficult or epic. If you succeed on epic,
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: you get more what dice is epic, Epic is twenty.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: Let's not risk it for the biscuit this time. I'm
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: gonna play it safe, all right, Marolla D twelve. I
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: got two D eights going here thirteen. Ooh, I rolled
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: a six.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: So you critically succeed be me or not critically that's
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: ten over be be me by more than five.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: So this is a good role.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: The books in there and the papers in there are
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: not organized, and that drives you crazy as a librarian,
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: but you start to be able to break them up,
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: as Jamiir has already started to pile some here and there.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: There are books anything that might allude to magic, mythology,
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: even story books, fairy tale, and then a lot of history,
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: and then there's science. There's you saw the suits downstairs.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: There's a level of engineering and mechanical study that she did.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: And then you focus in on on a piece of paper.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: It's not just a piece of paper, really, there's there's
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: probably a notebook that's just full of like her ramblings
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: of trying to figure this out, just kind of a
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: brain map of trying things she's learned and thinks she's
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: trying to understand. And then it gets to a point
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: where it says, Okay, I think there's five spirit balance, discord, annihilation,
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: and then star magic with a bunch of question marks.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: She also has a spell book in there that's full
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: of spells and rituals.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna yink it.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Uh great, Yeah, I think you can joink it either
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: through the you can unlock the door with the paper key.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming you keep the door locked your mirror, yes,
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: but I think I'm gonna have you roll to get
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: through the door.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, just see you like your body be pressed against
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: the door, your eyes.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: This is a challenging chick. So I'm rolling a d.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: Tent okay, And what do you want me to roll?
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: Street Smarts plus paper Nancy six. I rolled one. You
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: put some firm paper in there, jimmy it around until
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: you hear the latch click and you're able to take
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: this spill book.
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna go and get and yeah, I would
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: assume at this point unless there's more that you guys
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: are yelling about tube time and parcheesy down there, y, yeah,
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: you want a cheese Oh yeah, I cheese, I'm coming.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: And then do we want to go together to a
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: vision's call?
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: Sure?
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: As we're going through the tubes, do you think they
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: had lubber bikes or something to get around down here?
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: We're just like walking the whole city.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: I mean a lot of them could fly. True. Oh,
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: an idea go on? I'm listening.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: Is there a an access tube to put paper in
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: for the pneumatic tube?
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, there's a there's a place where you could put
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: paper in close to Everwing's computer.
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, can can I? I guess what I want
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: to try and do here is put some paper in
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: one of the like tube capsules and then put it
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: up through the tube and then like link link to it,
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: like lasso more paper around it on the outside and
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: let that the pneumatic tube paper pull us cool. So
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: the tube is a tube? Yeah? So how you can't
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: go inside the tube? Yeah? I understand. I started trying
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: to lasso like paper to paper like paper magnets. Yeah,
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: like paper magnets.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: It's kind of you know, like when you make magnets
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: out of paper.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So you're saying if the paper use so you
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: stuff a lot of paper in the tube and then
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: you make like a paper rope that goes around the
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: outside of the tube. Yes, and those are like they
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: were once the same piece of paper, and so they're connected.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: I see, great, let's try it, Okay.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: And then yeah, theoretically we can.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: I can.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: We can ride on my longboard and that'll pull us faster.
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Great, that's my idea, Seve works. What
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: do you want to roll paper? Nancy? Plus? What dumb
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: idea is this?
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: Probably street smarts? Okay, this is a difficult checks. I'm
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: only in D twelve three ten.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, we all we all three get
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: on your longboard. I'll gig each other.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: Let's do it, all right, and the paper starts shooting
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: through the thing and your paper just breaks.
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: Well, back to walking.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: I mean I could strike around. I mean it's just
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: as loud down here as it is outside.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: Hey, we can talk while we walk.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Tube time, Tube time, you all start to learn the
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: maze of the the new tube system.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: Do you guys mind if I try something, if I
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: mess with your brains a little bit. I want to
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: see if I can disguise myself by making you see
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: what I want you to see.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: Cool? Yeah, yeah, try it on Jason.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, I want to mess with the signals from Jason's
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: eyes to his brain, so when he's looking at me,
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: he sees like a human woman. I just like picked
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: somebody i've seen on the street before. Great, this is
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: a I would say, this is a branching power for sure.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: So you have to succeed on a godly check. Oh
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: that sounds big one godly. Yes, I'm going to ask
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: for me knowledge or sense about cox. Uh no, Yeah,
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: coax is good. Trying to persuade him to see something different.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. Coax and control electricity. Is this
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: a D twenty and D four versus D twenty D four?
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Man man, math man.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: Johnny's mouth is.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: Wide, he's wide open. Seventeen.
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: I rolled a twenty and a four.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, I rolle so good? And God said, no.
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: What do I what do I see? What she's doing? This?
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: It's not working? Fuck, Jason.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: Your eyes panic and you start to see your friends
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: wobble and move and melt in front of you.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: Is it working?
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: No, everything's cool.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: Oh no, okay, I stop what I was doing. Yeah,
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: I turned it back on.
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: H Okay, I'm.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm sorry, that's gay.
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: Try it now.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Nope, nope, nope, I'm good. I'm good. That's a fail.
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: Make a note of that and you can try again
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: another time.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: That would have been too easy. Huh.
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: Hey, I like where your head's at, though. I think
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: I'm not that creative with my powers. I just kind
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: of punch things and blast stuff.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: I mean maybe we could think of something.
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: Hey, if somebody sees you and you don't want them
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: to know what you look like, you can punch them.
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: I think that's a good solution too. Thanks. Brother.
