• 2:21
  members um
• 2:22
  um wait no we didn't start there we started with um yes we
• 2:29
  started immediately
• 2:31
  after I got staked or Logan got staked um and Jacob and um and
• 2:44
  Robin argued a bit
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_02: and then decided to unstake Logan who said that that was owie um
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_02: and then they all went back to the motel,
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_02: rested,
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_02: got up for the day,
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_02: decided to feed and get the fuck out of town.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_02: Jacob went to feed successfully on some drunk,
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_02: basically being like,
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_02: I'll play music for you in an alleyway if you'll let me suck your neck.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_02: And he was like, sure, I'll get you a meal later or something.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_02: And you were like, sounds like consent.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_02: Then you drank from him until he was unconscious.
• 3:27
  Robin absolutely botched their attempt to jump someone in an
• 3:31
  alleyway and ended up
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_02: bumming off of you for some food.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_02: Meanwhile, Logan went to check on the rats.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_02: It turns out that the body was just gone.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_02: They'd got it.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_02: They'd done the thing.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_02: There were some tracks, but it wasn't going to be a big issue.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_02: in any meaningful amount of time.
• 3:52
  Then she went to the gas station to see Big Al and like wait
• 4:00
  for money so that they
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_02: could pay for gas and things.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_02: Then she's waiting there.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_02: Robin decides to come down the street and sees Big Al about to like
• 4:12
  vampire napper wrap a chain around her neck or something and
• 4:16
  caught in the act he
• 4:17
  runs off into a closet for some reason that reason being a very
• 4:22
  big dog chasing him
• 4:23
  because Logan was after him too we discovered that Big Al was
• 4:29
  some sort of predator
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_02: of some kind and then we had
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_02: We had Jacob feed off of him, Logan feed off of Jacob.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_02: Everyone was fed and he got the fuck out of town.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_02: Because immediately after feeding, Jacob ran into the sheriff.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_02: The sheriff was like, hey, so you know my nephew who went missing?
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_02: And the sheriff's deputy is like,
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_02: there's something fucking wrong with you and I want to find out what.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_02: And we were like, you know what?
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_02: These are too many questions.
• 5:06
  let's get out of town and so we drove for a couple days to Salt
• 5:10
  Lake and when we
• 5:12
  got there some dude named Silas rocked up was like here's the
• 5:15
  lay of the land we've
• 5:17
  decided not to immediately kill you for violating our property
• 5:21
  and just keep to
• 5:23
  yourself cause no problems drink from Atmos two different
• 5:27
  mortals and also
• 5:31
  don't go anywhere near our big fancy library like stay the fuck
• 5:35
  away from our
• 5:35
  library okay it's very important that we will murder you
• 5:39
  immediately if you come
• 5:40
  near our library um and then he left and we were in the hotel
• 5:47
  room that is a very
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_01: very accurate recap of what the last few days have been like uh
• 6:00
  indeed Big Al was a serial killer you have three days to be
• 6:08
  there and yes the
• 6:10
  sheriff was pretty uh appeased with it all but the deputy is
• 6:17
  not and the last we
• 6:18
  saw of her she was asking all types of questions and maybe
• 6:23
  potentially trying to
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_01: find you all because something is not right about you guys
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_02: Too many little coincidences.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_03: Good luck to her with jurisdiction, like honestly.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_01: So, it is the same night that you met Dr. Silas Atwood.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_01: the premier scientist.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_01: He did inform me to stay away from your library.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_01: You've got three days to be here and it is still the same night.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's not too deep into the evening,
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_01: maybe somewhere around,
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_01: between 11 and midnight and the night is yours.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_01: What's going on?
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_02: Um,
• 7:20
  Logan's gonna take off her shoes and flop into the the hotel
• 7:24
  bed and uh what's this
• 7:29
  princess is gonna jump up onto the bed next to her these
• 7:36
  extended stay hotels are
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_01: like suites so there's a small kitchen there's a uh
• 7:43
  there's you know regular bathroom there's a little living room
• 7:46
  there are two queen
• 7:47
  size bed it's usually designed for people who want to stay at a
• 7:53
  place for an
• 7:54
  extended period maybe somewhere between a week and a month a
• 7:58
  lot of truck drivers
• 7:59
  will stay at extended stay hotels while they are trucks are
• 8:03
  unloaded at a local
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_01: place it's just easier that way please continue you know as
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: lovely as it would be to just rest for the entire day.
• 8:17
  We should probably at least scout out to see if there's
• 8:20
  anywhere Ward let us play.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_00: We can't just rely on the money we've made from one place.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 8:31
  Then I'm guessing probably best course of action is to start
• 8:38
  the day off with and
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_00: the night off with just scouting around.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_00: getting a feel for the place.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_03: Scouting around.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_03: I like that idea.
• 8:49
  So are you guys going to bring up your stuff,
• 8:54
  change clothes into nightlife clothes?
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_01: How are you guys going to go out and scout?
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_01: I want to know the details.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: Jacob's plan is to
• 9:06
  Kind of wander around a little bit Maybe ask random people
• 9:13
  where the closest pub is
• 9:15
  Maybe go there and check if they do any live performances or if
• 9:21
  anywhere else does
• 9:22
  Kind of just also getting a lay of the area just in case
• 9:29
  anything poor happens
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_01: Are you guys all hopping in the van together to do this?
• 9:36
  Or are you going to maybe split up and reconnect with each
• 9:41
  other once you've gotten
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_01: a little more information?
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_03: You first.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 9:50
  Robin is going to instead focus on getting a bit of the light
• 9:56
  of the people around
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: here,
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: like seeing what kind of attitudes are around,
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_00: what kind of
• 10:06
  what kind of audience are we looking at so she kind of like
• 10:10
  gets on a bit more gets
• 10:13
  on like an old jacket and some and like a old band t-shirt just
• 10:19
  because her usual
• 10:20
  outfit probably isn't the greatest thing to have in this kind
• 10:24
  of town but just get
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: herself ready to start snooping around what about you Logan
• 10:34
  Logan is looking for like a place that does custom leather jobs
• 10:41
  so she can get like
• 10:44
  nice arm guards and a choker maid for Robin sort of as like the
• 10:50
  the peace offering
• 10:51
  of hey hey here's this thing if I bite you again it'll be more
• 10:56
  difficult at least
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_02: um
• 11:00
  Sort of just,
• 11:00
  you know,
• 11:01
  armor her up with some stylish clothes against,
• 11:08
  you know,
• 11:09
  accidents.
• 11:10
  And at the same time,
• 11:11
  she'll be looking on her phone for,
• 11:13
  like,
• 11:14
  any clubs.
• 11:17
  So you are all going in different directions this evening,
• 11:22
  or are you staying together?
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_03: No, I'm going to split off.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_03: Or try split off.
• 11:33
  different directions in an unknown city I like it let's do it
• 11:41
  you guys look very
• 11:42
  very dangerously so Salt Lake we kind of talked about it the
• 11:51
  last time for maybe
• 11:52
  like a top-down view right very large wide streets you know
• 11:57
  four across almost like
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_01: highways
• 12:02
  a very very neat very very grid like there are not a ton of
• 12:08
  skyscrapers right this
• 12:10
  isn't some this isn't New York City this isn't Vegas or
• 12:13
  anything like that this is
• 12:15
  a very religious city the largest things besides maybe the
• 12:22
  Wells Fargo building or
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_01: you know those occasional large skyscrapers in downtown are
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_01: churches, mega churches.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_01: They're huge.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_01: They're big deal.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_01: Church bells ring even at two o'clock in the morning.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_01: It's a thing here.
• 12:38
  A lot of people would assume that Salt Lake wouldn't have a
• 12:43
  nightlife,
• 12:45
  but it absolutely does.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: It just tends to be more intimate.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_01: The streets aren't like packed with people at this late right there.
• 12:58
  there are people out there but as you guys travel around you
• 13:03
  find that can we
• 13:04
  mentioned it last time is the groups are pretty tight knit they
• 13:08
  go where they want
• 13:09
  to go they leave together so you'll find a group of four people
• 13:13
  who are going to a
• 13:15
  bar they get there they have their good time they get back they
• 13:18
  stay together and
• 13:19
  they leave again or you'll have a group of 10 who want to go to
• 13:22
  the nightclub or
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_01: whatever the case may be everybody
• 13:27
  even in this major city knows everybody nobody goes out looking
• 13:35
  for a crowd they
• 13:36
  bring their crowds with them but that means by default you are
• 13:44
  outsiders here and
• 13:46
  even as you try to blend in as you pass through the city you
• 13:50
  are noticed not in any
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_01: way that would mean oh they're suspicious of you no not that
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_01: more that they notice someone who doesn't normally fit in here.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_01: The way you dress,
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_01: the way you walk,
• 14:07
  the fact that you're alone are usually indicative of people who
• 14:11
  are outsiders.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_01: There's a bit of a strange tension in the city, too, at night, right?
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_01: Because it's such a religious city, these
• 14:26
  little nightclubs or gay bars or underground venues that pop up
• 14:31
  and people go to
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: are kind of shunned upon by the greater community.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_01: So when they do these things,
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_01: when you do find that occasional underground venue,
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_01: it's very,
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_01: very closely guarded because no one wants to be the one to say,
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_01: oh yeah,
• 14:46
  I saw Bill Bob at the nightclub the other day when he should
• 14:51
  have been at church.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_01: He wasn't there two weeks ago, but he had money to go there.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_01: Nobody wants to be that guy.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_01: So, as you go individually around the city, let's start with you, Logan.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_01: What are you, again, specifically looking for?
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_02: Logan's looking for new clothes,
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_02: specifically sort of like a leather choker and,
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_02: as I said,
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_02: arm guards,
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_02: which probably means getting something custom-made for
• 15:25
  Robin which also means that she's gonna find it tonight and
• 15:29
  then bring Robin there
• 15:30
  to get sized the night after is how it's gonna have to play out
• 15:37
  and then she's also
• 15:39
  going to look for a place that just look for like the nastiest
• 15:47
  nightclub in the
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_01: entire city I like it why don't you give me some dice
• 15:55
  um uh you have really no way to do this um based on your dice
• 16:02
  pools but we'll do
• 16:04
  our best like give me wits and investigate despite having
• 16:10
  really nothing to go on
• 16:13
  yeah uh I'll I'll blood surge living living on the edge um
• 16:20
  living very much on the
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_01: edge
• 16:24
  I'm not looking for a difficulty here just the amount of
• 16:28
  successes you get okay
• 16:33
  that is okay four successes four successes you're looking for
• 16:45
  something very niche
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_01: in a city that does not have much culture for something like that
• 16:55
  however there it's not like it doesn't exist here it's just
• 16:59
  hard to come by there
• 17:02
  are the two that you come across first they're not exactly
• 17:08
  leather workshops right
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_01: they do some leather work but they're mostly for those um
• 17:14
  let's call them cowboy hats they kind of custom make and fit
• 17:19
  them it's a very
• 17:20
  specific thing they do make the occasional arm guard or you
• 17:24
  know cloak but they're
• 17:27
  because it's damn near you know at this point you've walked
• 17:30
  around you've traveled
• 17:31
  maybe a little after midnight they're closed however as you
• 17:37
  maybe find yourself
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_01: maybe a little disappointed or frustrated I don't know that's up to you
• 17:43
  there's a third one that you come across and she makes kind of
• 17:49
  these let's call it
• 17:51
  gothic ball gowns that's our primary export but you see in the
• 17:57
  window she's got a
• 17:58
  couple of things made of leather she does custom jobs but
• 18:02
  everything's very fancy
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_01: and very expensive
• 18:07
  Her shop is maybe 12.30 Her shop closes at 1 And you can see
• 18:12
  she's getting ready to
• 18:14
  Wind down Okay Definitely going inside Sort of just peek my
• 18:23
  head in Say hi,
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_02: step in
• 18:28
  easy enough right you go in the little doorbell goes up over
• 18:32
  the top she looks up
• 18:34
  surprised right very very surprised to see somebody and she
• 18:38
  immediately like her
• 18:39
  eyes squicked a little bit and she goes uh Madam Savages I'm
• 18:46
  Madam Savage you are
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_03: not from around here she's gonna shrug like what gave me away
• 19:00

• 19:03
  here and you're not

• 28:21
  you were doing something remind me right now I'm just trying to
• 28:28
  get a lay of the
• 28:28
  land of like the people who are around here like the kind of
• 28:33
  audience that would be
• 28:34
  around so we talked a little bit about it you can also give me
• 28:40
  a dice pool of your
• 28:43
  let's take a look I would like a dice pool of your wits and
• 28:49
  awareness there
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_01: It's an investigation.
• 28:53
  It's better.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_01: I like that better.
• 28:56
  SPEAKER_03: One second.
• 29:00
  SPEAKER_03: That is one success.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_03: One success.
• 29:04
  SPEAKER_03: Any willpower from you?
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_03: Nah.
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_03: With one success.
• 29:14
  SPEAKER_01: As you comb the streets.
• 29:18
  I talked about the fact that the groups tend to be kind of
• 29:22
  close-knit together
• 29:23
  really again small little groups of people that know each other
• 29:29
  you won't find out
• 29:30
  much more than that but a single success would tell you as
• 29:36
  you're walking by maybe
• 29:37
  trying to observe the groups there's one group that you come
• 29:42
  across that as you
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_01: hear them talking they're like you know
• 29:48
  the goddamn library again like they put up all those stupid
• 29:53
  signs fucking oh shit
• 29:55
  not fucking i'm sorry they just put up all those signs
• 30:00
  everywhere they're like a
• 30:01
  mile out from the place and there's just a bunch of weird
• 30:06
  people coming in there we
• 30:07
  SPEAKER_01: haven't been able to get in there in like a decade
• 30:10
  I don't understand my mom said she used to go there all the
• 30:13
  time and now nobody's
• 30:15
  allowed to even go they've been doing renovations I'm trying to
• 30:19
  like track down I
• 30:20
  SPEAKER_01: think I was related to you know St.
• 30:23
  Joseph back when he first came out to this area and they're
• 30:29
  they're back and like
• 30:29
  the group is back and forth about the fact that they can't get
• 30:32
  in there about all
• 30:33
  these new signs going up and a bunch of weirdo people coming in
• 30:36
  and out of there
• 30:37
  SPEAKER_01: mostly doctors and shit
• 30:41
  But,
• 30:42
  towards maybe the end of their conversation,
• 30:45
  hear them say something really strange.
• 30:49
  SPEAKER_01: They go,
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_01: ever since they put up the signs about a decade ago or,
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_01: ever since they closed it down a decade ago,
• 30:58
  SPEAKER_01: there has been very few travelers
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_01: or there has been more travelers in the city, right?
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_01: It used to be that nobody would come here.
• 31:10
  There would always be weird disappearances,
• 31:13
  but there hasn't been in a few years now.
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_01: But even still, a lot of people tend to stay away.
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_01: That the human population,
• 31:23
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 31:23
  SPEAKER_01: and this is me talking,
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_01: not them,
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_01: is unsure as to why this is,
• 31:29
  but they're growing more and more concerned with some of the
• 31:33
  activities happening
• 31:35
  the library and as you're walking maybe following this little
• 31:39
  group for this few
• 31:40
  moments you see your first time for the family geological
• 31:45
  library of Salt Lake City
• 31:48
  you see it's right there it's in big red letters it says one
• 31:52
  mile to library
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_01: visiting hours are from 7 a.m to 4 p.m i would like a
• 32:03
  SPEAKER_01: dice pool of your intelligence and occult.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_03: Alrighty.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_03: Ooh, that is a total failure.
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_03: Total fucking failure.
• 32:19
  SPEAKER_01: Well, that changes things a little bit, doesn't it?
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_01: When you first came into the city, you specifically, you
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_01: because you are slubbery because you tend to be more careful.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_01: You have to deal in some occult things time to time to stay safe.
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_01: You felt that barrier before you pass by.
• 32:42
  You now know that you're not allowed within a mile and you can
• 32:45
  see the mile marker,
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_01: maybe a block in front of you.
• 32:48
  SPEAKER_01: However, not that you cross the barrier or anything.
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_01: No, that's that's unnecessary as hell.
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_01: We're not going to do that.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_01: But
• 33:02
  you you like knowledge you're hungry for it and there is a
• 33:13
  vampire library or at
• 33:16
  least a library run by vampires clearly premiere all over the
• 33:20
  place it is you've
• 33:24
  got to know more you've got to got to know more you're going to
• 33:28
  have to find out
• 33:29
  SPEAKER_01: what you can
• 33:33
  SPEAKER_01: I need you to make a willpower roll at a difficulty three.
• 33:41
  SPEAKER_03: That's the first thing I want from you.
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_00: How do you do willpower again?
• 33:51
  It's just whatever your willpower is,
• 33:53
  roll those dice,
• 33:54
  but you cannot re-roll anything.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_01: And spend willpower.
• 33:58
  SPEAKER_00: Four successes, woo!
• 34:00
  SPEAKER_01: Four successes.
• 34:01
  you're in control right you're hungry you gotta know this stuff
• 34:05
  but it's not
• 34:06
  something so obsessive where you're gonna make that stupid
• 34:10
  choice to cross that
• 34:11
  barrier however until you find out more about this place not
• 34:21
  this scene obviously
• 34:22
  because you've just seen it or just kind of come across this
• 34:25
  but the next one until
• 34:27
  SPEAKER_01: you find out more about it
• 34:29
  all your roles in attempting to not know more about this
• 34:33
  library are going to be at
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_01: a minus two.
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_00: Oh!
• 34:39
  And she just kind of like she just kind of like bites her nails
• 34:44
  a bit like oh no.
• 34:50
  Like that internal oh god I need to know more about this but I
• 34:54
  know I really can't
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_00: do this right now.
• 34:57
  SPEAKER_00: And she kind of like shakes her head
• 34:59
  like stretches her face a bit and tries and just goes to walk
• 35:04
  away and distance
• 35:06
  herself from that because she knows if she spends any more time
• 35:09
  here she's gonna
• 35:09
  get distracted as you're you know maybe biting your nail and go
• 35:14
  to walk away and
• 35:15
  maybe you look back again uh maybe the thing that pulls you out
• 35:19
  of this like will
• 35:21
  you go where you won't go is you get a text message uh from
• 35:25
  Logan I don't know what
• 35:26
  SPEAKER_01: it says yet we'll find out in a moment
• 35:29
  SPEAKER_03: in the meantime, Jacob, you are doing something.
• 35:39
  I am either looking for a pub while also looking around the
• 35:46
  area to kind of have a
• 35:47
  SPEAKER_00: better knowledge of what to look out for slash what is around.
• 35:55
  SPEAKER_00: And if there's like no pubs inside for the next five minutes of walking,
• 36:00
  He would look for a small group of people who might seem to be
• 36:07
  a bit too perfect or
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_03: a bit too on the side of misdeeds of their religion.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_03: Why don't you give me wits and investigation as well?
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to...
• 36:30
  is there difficulty nope i just want to know what you get i'm
• 36:36
  going to real power

  SPEAKER_01: looking for um
• 36:58
  outwards from your extended stay hotel are they're not like
• 37:06

• 37:15
  like uh new age tea
• 37:17
  bars kind of thing where you won't find much in the way of dye
• 37:21
  bars or people just
• 37:23
  sitting there drinking their problems away you find maybe one
• 37:27
  or two you know in
• 37:28

  SPEAKER_01: The crowd here is younger.
• 37:48
  SPEAKER_01: They're way more lively.
• 37:51

  you've been around enough people you've hunted you've gone to
• 38:06
  bars if you were to
• 38:08
  smell the alcohol in the air you know that these drinks are not
• 38:11
  like over poured
• 38:13
  with alcohol very light on it too it's mostly us a way for the
• 38:18
  young to socialize
• 38:20
  and most aren't even really drinking that much they might have
• 38:22
  one or two you find
• 38:24

  but it's all in good taste right nothing over the top nothing
• 39:12
  outrageous that's
• 39:14
  what you'll kind of come across with a single success not much
• 39:18
  in the way of what
• 39:19
  SPEAKER_01: you hope to find there is a group however
• 39:24
  that you overhear talking about a,

• 41:50
  SPEAKER_01: As you pull out your phone,

  SPEAKER_01: your phone goes off and it's a text message from Logan.
• 42:00
  Logan,

  now that Robin and Jacob are looking at their phones,

  SPEAKER_02: Yes, sorry.
• 42:14
  SPEAKER_02: I found it.

  SPEAKER_02: It's this underground dive.

  SPEAKER_02: We're totally gonna get a gig there.
• 42:23
  SPEAKER_02: We've gotta.

  SPEAKER_02: And then I'm going to shoot the location that Madame Savage gave me.
• 42:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 42:34
  SPEAKER_01: You guys look at your phone.
• 42:35
  SPEAKER_01: Logan has texted you where to go, that there's a place to be.
• 42:40
  SPEAKER_01: Jacob, you were also sending a text message.
• 42:43
  SPEAKER_01: What was it?
• 42:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, probably seeing that, it's like you sort of have
• 42:49
  SPEAKER_00: how conveniently timed I've got the password for this possible location.
• 42:56
  SPEAKER_01: You might know.
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_01: You might be able to put two and two together.
• 42:59
  SPEAKER_01: You're not an idiot.
• 43:01
  SPEAKER_01: But you wouldn't probably know that this place got a password.
• 43:05
  But you do have it just in case that that is the password to
• 43:08
  the same place they
• 43:09
  SPEAKER_01: may or may not be talking about.
• 43:12
  What other place in a Christian area is going to have a
• 43:16
  password if something wants
• 43:17
  SPEAKER_00: to be kept hidden?
• 43:19
  SPEAKER_01: that's this is underground life.
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_01: You never know what's what out here, right?
• 43:23
  You know,
• 43:23
  with one success,
• 43:24
  you didn't find out much other than that people drink
• 43:28
  sometimes.
• 43:29
  SPEAKER_01: But either way, you guys send these text messages back and forth.
• 43:36
  SPEAKER_01: Do you all meet back up at the extended stay to get your stuff ready?
• 43:42
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe see if you can grab a gig?
• 43:47
  the very least drive over I think is is like what Logan saying
• 43:51
  like we've got to
• 43:52
  take the van like get get get all of us there in one place it's
• 43:56
  going to be quicker

  directions but you're not
• 44:16
  SPEAKER_01: super-duper far from the extent I say, right?
• 44:19
  SPEAKER_01: You're not 20 miles out or anything.
• 44:21
  SPEAKER_01: You might be one, maybe three miles out.
• 44:23
  SPEAKER_01: And you make your way back towards your hotel that you're staying at.
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_01: Whether it is you,
• 44:31
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 44:32
  SPEAKER_01: stereotypically meet up at the same time or one after another,
• 44:36
  SPEAKER_01: you all maybe end up back there within 20 minutes of each other.
• 44:41
  SPEAKER_01: And you're all back upstairs in your room.
• 44:46
  SPEAKER_01: Princess Dartmouth is with you.

• 50:09
  busted up battle jacket that she had from a long time ago
• 50:13
  that's filled to the brim
• 50:15
  SPEAKER_00: with a bunch of patches and sewed up bits and chains and studs.
• 50:21
  It's basically something that she can throw on so that when
• 50:27
  she's out of town
• 50:28
  she'll not immediately attract the ire of everyone within a
• 50:32
  five mile radius.
• 50:35
  So she just has that and her big chunky combat boots and a old
• 50:41
  pair of camo cargo

• 50:49
  of fishnet stockings

  SPEAKER_01: Just towards the edge of downtown Salt Lake, almost hitting the suburbs.
• 52:54
  SPEAKER_01: There's a divide in between the two,
• 52:57

• 53:02
  is very suburban.
• 53:06
  the place you're going to it's called the 25th agent house it
• 53:13
  looks like a Chinese

  food restaurant however it's open which is a little strange but
• 53:27
  you maybe look at
• 53:28
  SPEAKER_01: the address and it's definitely the right place there's
• 53:33

• 1:30:44
  worry um she's gonna
• 1:30:46
  you know go through her bag for that um but at the same time
• 1:30:49
  she's like but I do
• 1:30:50
  think you should wear the headband underneath your bangs it can
• 1:30:54
  really accentuate
• 1:30:55
  you know pull your hair back um except for you know the front
• 1:30:59
  facing give dimension
• 1:31:00
  SPEAKER_02: what do you think you'll look really hot get up get up get up
• 1:31:10
  okay fine just make sure it's completely covered all right okay
• 1:31:16
  I will uh so she's
• 1:31:17
  gonna like go put this headband uh like it's just I think I
• 1:31:23
  think it's just like a
• 1:31:23
  piece of fabric that she can tie at the back uh and then she
• 1:31:29
  pulls her hair out
• 1:31:29
  SPEAKER_02: from underneath it and like lays it on top so you can
• 1:31:33
  It's just like hiding there in your bangs as she also gets the
• 1:31:38
  hair gel and does
• 1:31:40
  SPEAKER_00: that While all that's going on,
• 1:31:46

• 1:32:32
  SPEAKER_00: I really don't care if Sloane likes this spot or not.
• 1:32:36
  This is a spot we're playing at for the money and then we're
• 1:32:39
  leaving in a few nights.
• 1:32:42
  SPEAKER_03: Probably to never come back here.
• 1:32:43
  SPEAKER_03: Alright, so how about this?
• 1:32:49
  SPEAKER_00: We go something a lot harder on the rock,
• 1:32:54
  SPEAKER_00: like something like Franz Ferdinand,
• 1:32:57
  SPEAKER_00: like Ramon,
• 1:32:58
  SPEAKER_00: something like that.
• 1:32:59
  SPEAKER_03: Hard work.
• 1:33:06
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe something slightly slower You know,
• 1:33:09
  all the rock bands have that really slow song that goes hard
• 1:33:14
  and emotional but not
• 1:33:15
  hard on drums which admittedly will hurt my feelings but I'll
• 1:33:20
  live We can see if
• 1:33:25
  they reciprocate well to that we can then maybe pick up the
• 1:33:28
  pace see how they feel
• 1:33:31
  SPEAKER_00: about that then slowly adjust it from there
• 1:33:36
  SPEAKER_03: I like it.
• 1:33:44
  As three of you exit from your dressing room and you're about

  SPEAKER_00: she's not as nervous as before,
• 1:37:00
  SPEAKER_00: but she's still
• 1:37:01
  like internally getting through working through the emotions
• 1:37:06
  and and basically as
• 1:37:08
  she goes up she kind of like keeps up this very cool cool
• 1:37:13
  headed nonchalant persona
• 1:37:14
  like scouts out in the crowd like someone who's looking at her
• 1:37:18
  like gives them like
• 1:37:19
  an upward nod just giving like giving up this like this this is
• 1:37:25

  SPEAKER_01: The crowd like starts cheering.
• 1:38:10
  SPEAKER_01: Most people are just wolf whistling across.

  SPEAKER_01: Mainly the focus is on her.
• 1:38:17
  SPEAKER_01: The spotlight's on her.
• 1:38:18
  SPEAKER_01: She's absolutely...
• 1:38:21
  SPEAKER_01: Hey guys,

  smashing she goes so I want you guys to give your undivided
• 1:38:36
  attention to them as
• 1:38:38
  they get their show on the road and everybody starts whooping
• 1:38:44
  and cheering again
• 1:38:45
  SPEAKER_01: she smiles she waves everyone off
• 1:38:47
  she puts the mic back she slides it towards you Jacob gives you
• 1:38:51
  a wink and then
• 1:38:52
  walks away and as she does again she brushes your hair Logan
• 1:38:56
  and you see her take
• 1:38:57
  her spot where you found her the first time just to the left of
• 1:39:00
  the you on the
• 1:39:01
  stage leaning over and she's watching intently to see how you
• 1:39:07
  guys do sound off for
• 1:39:11
  SPEAKER_03: us um oh go on
• 1:39:17
  no no you first I was just saying um yeah again Jacob's going
• 1:39:26
  to try to initially
• 1:39:27
  hug them up by re-announcing who they are and in this moment
• 1:39:36
  he's going to kind of
• 1:39:40
  SPEAKER_00: call out who he is and he's going to give the alias fawn as he raises up
• 1:39:46
  SPEAKER_00: The handwork does not have the mic to shove off the fawns down his arm.
• 1:39:55
  As he kind of then initially walks over to the others at a
• 1:40:00
  decent pace so he isn't
• 1:40:02
  SPEAKER_00: wasting any time for them to announce who they are.
• 1:40:06
  SPEAKER_00: Kind of give them a bit of spotlight as well.
• 1:40:11
  SPEAKER_01: Heck yeah.
• 1:40:12
  SPEAKER_01: Do you Logan and you Robin
• 1:40:15
  take the opportunity to like you know sound off who you are
• 1:40:21
  take your chance in the
• 1:40:22
  spotlight or do you just keep your points and get ready to play
• 1:40:30
  I think Logan will
• 1:40:31
  just put a drumstick in the air like just before the first note
• 1:40:37
  before the first
• 1:40:37
  SPEAKER_02: beat and then she'll start
• 1:40:42
  SPEAKER_00: and Robin will do a similar motion,
• 1:40:44
  SPEAKER_00: like raising up her pig and then running into position as she starts.
• 1:40:53
  Very good.
• 1:40:54
  As that first note goes off,
• 1:40:58
  it's deep,
• 1:40:59
  it's resonating,
• 1:41:00
  and you guys begin to play.
• 1:41:03
  SPEAKER_01: We're going to make some dice rolls.
• 1:41:06
  SPEAKER_01: Last time we did this, you played at a little bar.
• 1:41:10
  SPEAKER_01: There wasn't that many people.
• 1:41:12
  but you did very well this time you're in front of like a full
• 1:41:16
  audience you're on
• 1:41:18
  stage like a real band stage the spotlights are on you the heat
• 1:41:23
  from the lamps are
• 1:41:24
  coming down people are making noise cheering they're excited I
• 1:41:31
  would like a role
• 1:41:33
  from all three of you this is your collective role for this
• 1:41:38
  which will be I think
• 1:41:41
  SPEAKER_01: correct
• 1:41:42
  SPEAKER_01: No, each of you has something different.
• 1:41:45
  SPEAKER_01: Logan, for you, it's strength and performance.
• 1:41:49
  SPEAKER_01: Jacob, for you, it's, what was it, decks and performance?
• 1:41:55
  SPEAKER_01: That or charisma.
• 1:41:57
  SPEAKER_01: That or charisma.
• 1:41:58
  SPEAKER_01: Charisma works.
• 1:42:00
  SPEAKER_01: And, Robin, the same thing.
• 1:42:02
  SPEAKER_01: You can use decks or charisma and performance.
• 1:42:07
  SPEAKER_01: All righty.
• 1:42:08
  SPEAKER_01: your vocals.
• 1:42:09
  SPEAKER_01: So, Robin, for you it's Dex and performance.
• 1:42:11
  SPEAKER_01: Jacob, you can use Dex or Charisma and performance.
• 1:42:19
  SPEAKER_01: This is a group rule.
• 1:42:21
  SPEAKER_01: So, the difficulty here is high considering where you are.
• 1:42:26
  SPEAKER_01: You don't really know much about what this place is.
• 1:42:29
  You don't know the sound you're up against really,
• 1:42:32
  what their expectations are.
• 1:42:34
  SPEAKER_01: So, it's a group rule of a difficulty of
• 1:42:38
  SPEAKER_01: Thirteen.
• 1:42:40
  SPEAKER_00: Thirteen.
• 1:42:42
  SPEAKER_00: Alrighty.

  Am I able to apply my oar through Malpomene and does me being
• 1:42:49
  beautiful here count?
• 1:42:51
  SPEAKER_00: Asking the same questions I'm going to keep asking.
• 1:42:53
  SPEAKER_01: I know.
• 1:42:55
  SPEAKER_01: For here, I would say that your oar would work through Malpomene.
• 1:43:03
  SPEAKER_01: As far as your looks are concerned, I would say
• 1:43:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, I would say yes.
• 1:43:10
  SPEAKER_03: You can use your looks here.
• 1:43:16

  SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah, I should have asked that as well.

• 1:43:34

  SPEAKER_00: But nonetheless...
• 2:02:42
  SPEAKER_00: Robin just kind of nods.

  SPEAKER_00: And quick question.
• 2:02:45
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, great storyteller in the sky.
• 2:02:47
  Can I try to use sensei unseen or not heightened senses or like
• 2:02:55
  some kind of
• 2:02:56
  SPEAKER_00: perceptional to see if she can...
• 2:02:59
  SPEAKER_00: She immediately gets horrible rancid vibes from this dude.
• 2:03:04
  SPEAKER_00: She wants to like... What's your...
• 2:03:08
  what's her deal because she knows something has to be up
• 2:03:12
  because there's no
• 2:03:15
  possibility in her mind that this is just a normal guy yeah no
• 2:03:22
  princess was
• 2:03:22
  growling and Logan's giving him stink eye she's not going to
• 2:03:26
  make any rolls she
• 2:03:27
  trusts princess implicitly but she's making princess like cool
• 2:03:32
  off like shh there
• 2:03:32
  SPEAKER_02: you go
• 2:03:35
  SPEAKER_01: Princess wasn't growling at him.
• 2:03:37
  She was growling at the nondescript individual who got an
• 2:03:41
  autograph from you.
• 2:03:43
  But anybody who cares to or wants to,
• 2:03:46

  SPEAKER_03: Hey, Witson's.
• 2:04:03
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 2:04:05
  They'll be on the safer side I think it's actually a better
• 2:04:11
  idea for me not to roll
• 2:04:13
  SPEAKER_02: considering how high my hunger is Yeah,
• 2:04:19
  three successes Two successes Two successes With three and two
• 2:04:25
  successes This guy
• 2:04:29
  SPEAKER_01: is a He's an exec,
• 2:04:32
  SPEAKER_01: right?
• 2:04:32
  he's one of those not who wears a business suit you can tell
• 2:04:38
  just from the way he
• 2:04:39
  is from the way kind of like holds himself that he's accustomed
• 2:04:44
  to being obeyed and
• 2:04:47
  that might be because of his wealth it might be because of
• 2:04:51
  whatever power he holds
• 2:04:53
  SPEAKER_01: over people but there is no
• 2:04:58
  SPEAKER_01: There's not a lick of humility in him.
• 2:05:01
  SPEAKER_01: The way he talks,
• 2:05:02
  SPEAKER_01: how he presents himself,
• 2:05:04
  SPEAKER_01: the way he interacts with you,
• 2:05:05
  SPEAKER_01: how he just kind of like dismissed Cross,
• 2:05:08
  SPEAKER_01: even the two goons with him.
• 2:05:10
  SPEAKER_01: There's zero sense of humility there.
• 2:05:13
  There's only this I am powerful and thus all will bend to my
• 2:05:19
  will about him.
• 2:05:22
  SPEAKER_01: That's what you'd find out with three and two successes.
• 2:05:25
  SPEAKER_01: Nothing crazy.
• 2:05:27
  you know like you have heightened senses he has a heartbeat he
• 2:05:30
  sweats and all that
• 2:05:31
  good stuff but he just he's one of those rich and powerful
• 2:05:36
  types so you all think
• 2:05:41
  you did well is that the consensus that you guys have come to I
• 2:05:46
  mean we smashed it
• 2:05:50
  SPEAKER_03: smashed it I like that confidence whether you did or didn't
• 2:05:57
  SPEAKER_01: not for me to say, but I like the confidence.
• 2:06:00
  SPEAKER_01: I like the crowd's reaction.
• 2:06:03
  SPEAKER_01: I like what I think you can do.
• 2:06:06
  So again,
• 2:06:08
  again,
• 2:06:08
  I'm sure Cross told you tomorrow is a battle of the bands kind
• 2:06:15
  of thing.
• 2:06:16
  SPEAKER_01: Go up on stage, winner gets a deal.
• 2:06:21
  SPEAKER_01: I have a suspicion that you all will
• 2:06:27
  exceed the competition unlike well the group that was up before
• 2:06:34
  you they are also
• 2:06:35
  another one that exceeds the competition but they've got their
• 2:06:38
  own deals I'm not I
• 2:06:39
  don't manage them they've got their own company their own deals
• 2:06:43
  going on but I
• 2:06:45
  don't really think any of these local Yahoo's can hold a candle
• 2:06:49
  to what you guys
• 2:06:50
  have got going on he snaps his fingers one of his goons like
• 2:06:55
  pulls out a briefcase
• 2:06:59
  he shuffles a bed he takes a stack of papers out and a manila
• 2:07:06
  envelope he opens up
• 2:07:10
  the middle envelope like just opens up the flap and he drops it
• 2:07:13
  down on a table in
• 2:07:15
  front of you or kind of in the center but enough so you can see
• 2:07:20
  and the way he
• 2:07:22
  SPEAKER_03: drops it is intentional where you can see
• 2:07:29
  stacks of cash fall out crisp brand new nicely banded together
• 2:07:36
  $5,000 stacks three
• 2:07:41
  of them have fallen out if you were to look closely you might
• 2:07:44
  see another five of
• 2:07:46
  them in there or seven of them so it's probably there's a good
• 2:07:54
  amount of money in
• 2:07:55
  SPEAKER_01: there
• 2:07:58
  he pulls out a contract it goes standard contract if you want
• 2:08:05
  to take a look at it
• 2:08:06
  read it over sign on the dotted line but the very basics are
• 2:08:12
  simple you're gonna go
• 2:08:15
  a tour for me call it a 10 song tour I'll set the city as you
• 2:08:23
  go to the venues
• 2:08:25
  SPEAKER_01: you'll play at
• 2:08:28
  this money here it's a lot of money nice advance for you
• 2:08:34
  however all proceeds and
• 2:08:38
  the songs and their royalties are mine he pushes the contract
• 2:08:47
  closer to you I still
• 2:08:49
  would like you to get up on the band stage tomorrow play a
• 2:08:53
  little bit really get
• 2:08:55
  SPEAKER_01: your names out there the
• 2:08:57
  battle,
• 2:08:58
  band battle is televised locally so it'll help drive some
• 2:09:05
  publicity.
• 2:09:09
  SPEAKER_03: He slides the money back in the envelope,
• 2:09:13
  SPEAKER_01: seals it back up,
• 2:09:15
  SPEAKER_01: puts it in the briefcase,
• 2:09:16
  SPEAKER_01: closes the briefcase,
• 2:09:18
  SPEAKER_01: hand it back to one of his goons.
• 2:09:21
  SPEAKER_03: He taps the contract.
• 2:09:24
  SPEAKER_03: Read it over.
• 2:09:27
  SPEAKER_03: and I'll see you tomorrow.
• 2:09:32
  SPEAKER_01: He nods his head at you.
• 2:09:34
  SPEAKER_01: His goons go with him.
• 2:09:35
  One of them opens the door and he leaves the room with his two
• 2:09:40
  goons and his considerable funds.
• 2:09:44
  SPEAKER_01: That's just an advance for you.
• 2:09:48
  SPEAKER_01: You guys have this final scene for this session.
• 2:09:51
  SPEAKER_01: Take it away.
• 2:09:53
  SPEAKER_00: Rowan waits until
• 2:09:55
  He's sufficiently out of the way and she knows that he's gone
• 2:10:00
  and immediately goes,
• 2:10:03
  SPEAKER_00: I don't like it.
• 2:10:04
  SPEAKER_00: I don't like it a second.
• 2:10:08
  SPEAKER_03: He is sketchy.
• 2:10:11
  SPEAKER_03: Even if it was a really good deal and he's sketchy,
• 2:10:15
  SPEAKER_02: I get the feeling he doesn't understand that specific things as artists.
• 2:10:23
  SPEAKER_03: And that's kind of essential.
• 2:10:27
  not to mention dude hears three songs from people he's never
• 2:10:32
  heard of who had no
• 2:10:33
  presence immediately offers this much no there's there I don't
• 2:10:39
  like it there
• 2:10:40
  there's no way that this ends up in any good good in any shape
• 2:10:46
  or form rich people
• 2:10:49
  SPEAKER_03: are just like that though see the things women have thrown at you
• 2:10:58
  Jacob You guys can say what you want but for me I don't want to
• 2:11:04
  take my chances Do
• 2:11:06
  SPEAKER_01: you guys read the contract?
• 2:11:09
  Jacob or Logan you have dots in finance so I will leave it to
• 2:11:13
  you if you even want
• 2:11:14
  to read the contract Jacob's probably been reading as after he
• 2:11:22
  has left the room as
• 2:11:23
  SPEAKER_00: they are having this conversation he's occasionally chiming in
• 2:11:29
  SPEAKER_01: Give me intelligence and finance at a difficulty three.
• 2:11:36
  SPEAKER_03: Can you have two successes?
• 2:11:38
  SPEAKER_03: Fuck.
• 2:11:39
  SPEAKER_03: Two successes.
• 2:11:43
  SPEAKER_03: Two successes.
• 2:11:44
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 2:11:44
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 2:11:46
  SPEAKER_03: With two successes.
• 2:11:51
  SPEAKER_01: You read the contract as well as you can.
• 2:11:53
  SPEAKER_01: It's lengthy.
• 2:11:55
  SPEAKER_01: Clearly, a lawyer would be good.
• 2:11:58
  SPEAKER_01: Or even...
• 2:11:59
  if you had a road manager would be good to be able to overlook
• 2:12:03
  this thing.
• 2:12:04
  And it's maybe that as you read this contract that you do need
• 2:12:11
  a road manager,
• 2:12:12
  SPEAKER_01: someone to help you guys navigate these types of things.
• 2:12:17
  SPEAKER_01: But either way,
• 2:12:19
  SPEAKER_01: as you're reading it,
• 2:12:20
  SPEAKER_01: you're flipping through the pages and trying to understand what you can,
• 2:12:24
  SPEAKER_01: what he says is true as much as you can understand it.
• 2:12:29
  that he is offering you $50,000 in advance for whatever you
• 2:12:35
  want whatever you need
• 2:12:36
  it's your money that you will go on tour for up to five songs
• 2:12:44
  songs of your making
• 2:12:46
  SPEAKER_01: you'll play at venues that he chooses this
• 2:12:51
  is a contract that will last somewhere between three months
• 2:12:56
  three and six months so
• 2:12:58
  he expects this to be done between three and six months and if
• 2:13:01
  it isn't complete in
• 2:13:02
  that amount of time you owe him a difference uh it doesn't say
• 2:13:09
  how much that
• 2:13:09
  difference would be but the thing that you do know even with
• 2:13:12
  two successes three
• 2:13:13
  successes would tell you everything but with two successes you
• 2:13:15
  know this much and
• 2:13:16
  SPEAKER_01: the last thing you would know is that he owns
• 2:13:20
  SPEAKER_01: the rights and royalties to these five songs.
• 2:13:26
  SPEAKER_01: That's the contract, or as much of it as you can understand.
• 2:13:30
  SPEAKER_03: Logan wanted to give this a readover as well, just to make sure.
• 2:13:34
  SPEAKER_03: Um...
• 2:13:38
  SPEAKER_03: It is 50 years offering in advance, even if you don't take it.
• 2:13:47
  SPEAKER_02: I only got like, so it's finance and what?
• 2:13:53
  SPEAKER_03: Intelligence and finance Okay,
• 2:13:56
  SPEAKER_03: that's also three I believe Yeah I have three hunger This is a bad idea,
• 2:14:09
  SPEAKER_03: but Yeah Let's see One success
• 2:14:20
  SPEAKER_03: It's,
• 2:14:20
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know,
• 2:14:21
  SPEAKER_01: it's a contract It seems pretty standard Oh yeah,
• 2:14:29
  it seems pretty standard He owns all our shit and we do
• 2:14:32
  whatever he says It's kind
• 2:14:34
  SPEAKER_02: of like how record labels work,
• 2:14:36
  SPEAKER_02: isn't it?
• 2:14:37
  SPEAKER_00: You know what I was looking for?
• 2:14:38
  Don't worry But from what I understand so far From reading this
• 2:14:47
  We get 50k in advance
• 2:14:50
  he owns the 5-10 songs we do on this stupid tour if we don't do
• 2:14:58
  it in that time we
• 2:15:00
  owe him money that's what I understand of it okay those aren't
• 2:15:09
  great terms for us I
• 2:15:11
  SPEAKER_02: mean if we did do the tour then
• 2:15:16
  Does it does it come with like a road manager and other stuff
• 2:15:20
  like that or is it
• 2:15:20
  just we'd have to go out on our own lonesome oh my god if it
• 2:15:26
  doesn't have a road
• 2:15:27
  SPEAKER_02: manager included but totally set up to fail.
• 2:15:29
  SPEAKER_01: You don't understand.
• 2:15:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah,
• 2:15:34
  at this moment you don't understand enough about the contract
• 2:15:37
  to know whether or
• 2:15:38
  SPEAKER_01: not it comes with the road manager,
• 2:15:40
  SPEAKER_01: whether or not he's willing to pay for accommodations.
• 2:15:44
  SPEAKER_01: Those things you haven't,
• 2:15:46
  SPEAKER_01: without,
• 2:15:47
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 2:15:47
  SPEAKER_01: the necessary required states,
• 2:15:48

• 2:15:52
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, this isn't good.

  SPEAKER_01: She's gonna say...
• 2:20:52
  highly inappropriate yes um but Logan's just gonna say I think
• 2:20:56
  we should like poach
• 2:20:57
  her to be our road manager you know if her contract allows it
• 2:21:00
  whatever you know I
• 2:21:02
  could float the idea she seems extremely competent and cool and
• 2:21:07
  there's that entire
• 2:21:08
  situation what you had to go with a few nights ago now we don't
• 2:21:15
  want that incident
• 2:21:16
  SPEAKER_03: happening of course
• 2:21:23
  I'm trying to mitigate it by doing this I mean we could waste
• 2:21:29
  feed from someone
• 2:21:31
  else this isn't I think that there's bigger things at play here
• 2:21:34
  than just you know
• 2:21:37
  getting a snack after all there's a whole bunch of fans outside
• 2:21:42
  if we really wanted
• 2:21:43
  SPEAKER_03: a snack that's true anyway we should probably be heading off
• 2:21:54
  SPEAKER_03: Let's just call it a day.
• 2:21:57
  SPEAKER_03: I keep messing this fucking thing up.
• 2:22:06
  SPEAKER_01: As you leave from the dressing room,
• 2:22:09
  SPEAKER_01: you can hear the crowd upstairs or,
• 2:22:12
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 2:22:13
  SPEAKER_01: past the stage,
• 2:22:14
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 2:22:14
  SPEAKER_01: kind of still loud,
• 2:22:16
  SPEAKER_01: still enjoying themselves.
• 2:22:18
  SPEAKER_01: You can hear Cross on stage, like, telling everyone to
• 2:22:22
  you ain't gotta be here but you gotta get the fuck up out of
• 2:22:24
  here kind of thing but
• 2:22:28
  she's told them to wait 10 minutes let everybody get themselves
• 2:22:32
  sorted out she
• 2:22:33
  wants to hand out the cards and as you guys make your way you
• 2:22:39

• 2:22:52
  SPEAKER_01: Princess Darkmouth, like, hackles, raised, and growls.
• 2:22:58
  SPEAKER_01: And if you look around,
• 2:23:01
  SPEAKER_01: I want to ask a rule from you,
• 2:23:03
  you can see that same nondescript individual kind of standing
• 2:23:08
  off to the side.
• 2:23:11
  SPEAKER_01: He's looking at you guys and then turns and leaves.
• 2:23:18
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, I want to chase them so bad.
• 2:23:25
  SPEAKER_01: Her hackles drop.
• 2:23:26
  SPEAKER_01: She stops growling.
• 2:23:28
  SPEAKER_01: She looks at you.
• 2:23:28
  SPEAKER_01: She doesn't whine or anything.
• 2:23:29
  SPEAKER_01: She's just aware.
• 2:23:34
  SPEAKER_03: Good girl.
• 2:23:35
  SPEAKER_03: Good girl.
• 2:23:40
  SPEAKER_00: Let's commit what they look like to memory.
• 2:23:46
  SPEAKER_00: They're probably going to be at next show considering everything.
• 2:23:52
  SPEAKER_01: It's the most...
• 2:23:55
  bland individual ever just some it's got brown eyes brown hair
• 2:24:02
  little tall standard
• 2:24:05
  SPEAKER_01: NPC them it's almost hard to remember the face it's so fucking boring
• 2:24:16
  um but she's gonna use feral whispers drop to her knee next to
• 2:24:20
  um princess and go
• 2:24:24
  but they're kindred aren't they little whisper into princesses
• 2:24:30
  there be her regular
• 2:24:33
  communication she says yes and you get the affirmative from her
• 2:24:41
  oh very curious
• 2:24:43
  SPEAKER_03: okay
• 2:24:45
  but early for us to have stalkers especially of the cold
• 2:24:50
  variety either I mean but
• 2:25:00
  one possibility is it's just those goddamn two mirrors but on
• 2:25:07
  the other hand if
• 2:25:09
  SPEAKER_03: it's not it's gonna be fun
• 2:25:14
  they did say they had people watching they did say that now
• 2:25:20
  that you think about it
• 2:25:23
  SPEAKER_01: those two other people that came with Dr.
• 2:25:29
  Atwood or Atwater had the same sort of like blandness to them
• 2:25:36
  they just kind of
• 2:25:38
  filled the space it's not the same individual but it's that
• 2:25:42
  same feeling of like
• 2:25:44
  SPEAKER_01: whatever to them.
• 2:25:48
  But either way,
• 2:25:49
  as you all load back into the vehicle,
• 2:25:53
  on the dash is a little 3x5 postcard.
• 2:26:01
  SPEAKER_01: It just has the same symbol that you saw tattooed on Cross's chest.
• 2:26:07
  uh on it this little black card with her uh that tattoo on her
• 2:26:12
  chest in white and
• 2:26:13
  there's one little punch in it and written on the bottom uh of
• 2:26:19
  the of the demon
• 2:26:20
  cell is the word excuse me oh god uh blood what you would
• 2:26:32
  assume maybe correctly is
• 2:26:35
  SPEAKER_03: the new password
• 2:26:38
  SPEAKER_03: and.
• 2:26:42
  But the night is getting on and there isn't much time left in
• 2:26:48
  the evening as you
• 2:26:49
  SPEAKER_01: make your way back to the hotel.
• 2:26:55
  Is there any last minute things that you want to do before the
• 2:26:59
  sun takes over and
• 2:27:02
  SPEAKER_01: you are forced back into your comatose dead states?
• 2:27:08
  SPEAKER_03: Make sure our rune isn't bugged.
• 2:27:16
  SPEAKER_03: Makes sense to me.
• 2:27:17
  SPEAKER_03: Why don't you give me wits and technology?
• 2:27:22
  SPEAKER_03: Anybody else?
• 2:27:32
  I think Logan's just going to give Princess some attention
• 2:27:36
  because she hasn't given
• 2:27:38
  SPEAKER_02: Princess enough attention today.
• 2:27:39
  SPEAKER_02: Very busy.
• 2:27:41
  SPEAKER_02: Very, very busy.
• 2:27:44
  SPEAKER_00: I got two successes.
• 2:27:46
  SPEAKER_01: What did you want to do, Robin?
• 2:27:49
  SPEAKER_00: Check the room for bugs.
• 2:27:51
  SPEAKER_01: Also check the room for bugs.
• 2:27:54
  SPEAKER_01: Three and two successes.
• 2:27:55
  SPEAKER_01: This place isn't bugged.
• 2:27:56
  SPEAKER_01: It's just a nice hotel room suite.
• 2:28:01
  SPEAKER_01: Nothing about it.
• 2:28:03
  SPEAKER_01: You know, you check under the beds.
• 2:28:05
  SPEAKER_01: They're clean.
• 2:28:06
  SPEAKER_01: You know, they're not like the most clean.
• 2:28:07
  SPEAKER_01: They're not brand new linens, but they're clean.
• 2:28:10
  SPEAKER_01: Nothing out of the ordinary.
• 2:28:11
  SPEAKER_01: You might find a tile or two messed up.
• 2:28:14
  SPEAKER_01: A stain here or there.
• 2:28:16
  SPEAKER_01: But, all in all, it is just a regular hotel room.
• 2:28:25
  SPEAKER_03: No, it's going to stink.
• 2:28:28
  SPEAKER_03: Hmm?
• 2:28:30
  SPEAKER_00: Jacob can just
• 2:28:31
  with his mumbling to himself as he's checking,
• 2:28:36
  this sleep is going to suck.
• 2:28:42
  SPEAKER_01: Be very comfortable.
• 2:28:44
  SPEAKER_01: As you all, you know, there's blackout curtains you could put on there.
• 2:28:48
  SPEAKER_01: You block out the sun, you prepare the room.
• 2:28:50
  SPEAKER_01: You put something in front of the door.
• 2:28:53
  Regardless,
• 2:28:54
  you prepare the room for your evening and or your daytime as
• 2:29:00
  the sun takes you.
• 2:29:02
  SPEAKER_01: and you are lost to time for a time.
• 2:29:06
  SPEAKER_01: And with that, we will end our second here.
• 2:29:14
  SPEAKER_01: The road never really ends.
• 2:29:17
  SPEAKER_01: There's always another city,
• 2:29:20
  SPEAKER_01: another crowd,
• 2:29:22
  SPEAKER_01: another bad decision waiting somewhere past the headlights.
• 2:29:27
  SPEAKER_01: Another adventure completed.
• 2:29:54
  SPEAKER_01: If you had a good time, remember to leave a like and review.
