  >> Elizabeth: August 12, annod Domini
• 0:08
  1585. My dearest
• 0:11
  Elizabeth, the voyage has concluded
• 0:14
  and we find ourselves upon the shores of this new
• 0:17
  world. The air is
• 0:19
  thick with unfamiliar senents. As we
• 0:22
  disembarked from the Tiger and her sister'ships
• 0:26
  we encountered the native Akquascagog people,
• 0:29
  guided by a local named Mantea.
• 0:32
  They seemed indifferent to our arrival, their
• 0:34
  ways simple and their interests
• 0:37
  fleeting. It was
• 0:40
  during this time that a handsome silver
• 0:42
  goblet belonging to Grenville caught my
• 0:45
  eye. An
• 0:48
  opportunity swift as a viper presented
• 0:50
  itself, promising a future of comfort
• 0:53
  and elevated standing for us in this
• 0:56
  untamed land. In the ensuing
• 0:59
  bustle, the goblet became mine.
• 1:03
  Grenvilles subsequent fury at its disappearance fell
• 1:06
  upon the natives. Despite the denials,
• 1:09
  he retaliated with brutal force. Their
• 1:12
  village now a smoldering testament to his
• 1:14
  anger. A regrettable incident,
• 1:17
  perhaps, but one that establishes our
• 1:19
  dominance effectively between us.
• 1:22
  Elizabeth, this misunderstanding serves
• 1:25
  a dual purpose. The goblet is
• 1:28
  secured, awaiting its opportun reappearance.
• 1:31
  And these locals provide a convenient scapegoat
• 1:34
  for any future acquisitions
• 1:37
  that might benefit our cause. A, win win,
• 1:40
  wouldnt you agree? This land is
• 1:43
  ripe for the taking, and a little fear
• 1:45
  will ensure our safety as we build our
• 1:48
  fortunes. We are now bound for
• 1:50
  Romanoke island to establish our settlement. A more
• 1:53
  defensible position, I am told. Keep this
• 1:56
  news close to your heart, my love, and dream of the
• 1:59
  riches that await us in this new world.
• 2:02
  I shall write again once we are settled.
• 2:05
  Yours eternally,
• 2:07
  Richard.
• 2:41
  >> Skylar: A hefty dip in the road bounces the entire
• 2:44
  bus, forcing you awake as you look out the window to
• 2:47
  see the campsite ahead of you. You look back, hoping to get
• 2:50
  a glimpse of Man's Harbor Bridge. But the dust coming off the
• 2:53
  back wheels and the distance you have already made onto Roanoke
• 2:55
  island stop you from seeing even the ocean waters.
• 2:58
  The brakes of the bus let out a horrid
• 3:01
  screech as it finally comes to a stop outside of a
• 3:04
  large cabin simply labeled Mess Hall.
• 3:07
  >> Skylar: Algh Team. we're here.
• 3:09
  >> Skylar: The eccentric owner of the summer camp shouts from the driver's
• 3:12
  seat of the bus as he looks back at all of you and
• 3:15
  the other workers with a proud smile, obviously
• 3:18
  waiting for your reactions to his park.
• 3:21
  As you grab your supplies, waiting patiently for the hulking
• 3:23
  mass that is Braydn Big Guy
• 3:26
  Barnes, who takes up a majority of the bus'center
• 3:29
  aisle, you inevitably manage to grab your duffel bags
• 3:32
  and step off the bus. Before you is
• 3:35
  a stretch of fairly flat land that spans
• 3:37
  out until meeting the ocean which surrounds
• 3:40
  you on every side. One with any
• 3:43
  amount of understanding of land masses would easily be
• 3:46
  able to identify this as an island. The
• 3:49
  concet sound of the light waves crashing against the
• 3:52
  shoreline around you is rather soothing. You
• 3:55
  lean to your left and see a variety of stone structures
• 3:58
  peeking out from the grass and sand that make up
• 4:01
  the ground of this campsite. The occasional
• 4:04
  tree pokes up and spaces out the landscape, but they are
• 4:07
  few and far between. As you turn yourself
• 4:09
  towards the area from which you came, you can see the
• 4:12
  dirt path disappearing into a dense forest behind
• 4:15
  you, the eastern border of this camp, which,
• 4:18
  if you were to follow the pathway that vanishes within the brush and
• 4:21
  leaves, would lead you to the very bridge that will return
• 4:23
  you to the mainland. At the end of your week,
• 4:26
  you take a deep breath of the familiar ocean air,
• 4:29
  a welcome relief from the stuffy bus.
• 4:32
  >> Skylar: ill give you some quick cabin assignments before
• 4:34
  assigning work. lets plan on meeting right back here
• 4:37
  in 10 minutes.
• 4:39
  >> Skylar: Willie gives you all a friendly smile before reading off
• 4:42
  cabin names and pointing in the general direction of where
• 4:45
  his employees can find them.
• 4:47
  >> Skylar: Ophelia and Hazel. The two of you will be over in
• 4:50
  the peach cabin.
• 4:51
  >> Skylar: You watch as the two girls from your group begin to load up their
• 4:54
  supplies. Hazel hoists a comically large
• 4:57
  backpack over her shoulder, stuffed to the brim with all
• 5:00
  sorts of objects, some of which peek out from the flaps and
• 5:02
  pockets of her bag, revealing pens of every
• 5:05
  color, notebooks, canisters of sunscreen, and
• 5:08
  in excess of other necessities.
• 5:11
  Ophelia, on the other hand, tosses a black sling bag
• 5:14
  over her shoulder and with her other hand
• 5:16
  extends the handle of a black travel suitcase with
• 5:19
  neon blue accents, exactly the color scheme
• 5:22
  that she herself features across her outfit,
• 5:25
  makeup, and even her hair. She mumbles something
• 5:28
  under her breath, I told you to call me Onyx.
• 5:31
  But Willie seems to not hear her say this,
• 5:34
  and the two girls head off to the nearest cabin that barely
• 5:37
  pokes out from behind what you assume to be some sort of nurses
• 5:40
  station, given the big red cross symbol featured on
• 5:43
  the exterior wall.
• 5:44
  >> Skylar: U Braydn and u Soapy
• 5:47
  Joe. Is that correct?
• 5:50
  >> Cameron: Yeah, you could you just call me.
• 5:51
  >> Skylar: Joe if you want.
• 5:52
  >> Skylar: Oh, thank goodness. Bradeden, Joe, and Justin,
• 5:55
  the three of you guys are going to be in the Apple
• 5:58
  cabin.
• 5:59
  >> Skylar: Willie gestures towards the northern side of the island, near
• 6:01
  what looks like a beach with a pair of poles which you
• 6:04
  assum are for some sort of volleyball nets and such.
• 6:07
  Braydn's muscle bound arm, reaches down and grasps the
• 6:10
  handles of his sports duffel, seemingly weighing
• 6:13
  100 pounds at least, and lifts it like a feather
• 6:16
  over his head. He begins to stride forward, but
• 6:19
  pauses for a moment as he raises and lowers the bag as if
• 6:22
  testing the weight. He holds it out in front of him to
• 6:25
  find a second green and orange duffle is clipped
• 6:27
  to it with a carabiner. The hulking figure turns around
• 6:30
  with an annoyed look on his face, which is met by the cheeky grin
• 6:33
  of Justin, who offers a chuckle and a shrug.
• 6:36
  Braydn holds it out with a grunt, communicating he is
• 6:39
  not planning on carrying the significantly smaller man
• 6:42
  supplies for him. Worth a shot. Justin
• 6:45
  chuckles as he unclips the bag, which falls straight to the ground,
• 6:48
  bringing Justin with it. He dusts off his camo
• 6:51
  patterned cargo pants and takes the straps of
• 6:54
  his bag in both hands. He lets out a somewhat pathetic
• 6:57
  whine as he tries to pull it off the ground and
• 7:00
  sets it atop his scrawny left shoulder. The weight of the bag
• 7:03
  practically pulls him down, but he narrowly catches himself before
• 7:06
  awkwardly trudging along after Brayden towards the apple
• 7:08
  canbin. what about you Connor? Or
• 7:11
  should I say so be Joe? Tell me about what you look like
• 7:14
  and your accoutrements.
• 7:17
  He's.
• 7:18
  >> Cameron: He's a bit of a husky guy, you know, he's like mid,
• 7:20
  like early 20s. He's got the scraggly kind of
• 7:23
  beard. He's got the cargo pants with all kinds of
• 7:26
  pockets becausez he's a, he's a bit of a shutterbug, you know. So he's got to keep
• 7:29
  the extra lenses or the camera batteries.
• 7:32
  Extra ones. Those and his cargo pants
• 7:34
  with him. He's got he's got a little camera bag
• 7:37
  inside the camera bag. He's got a digital camera.
• 7:40
  >> Skylar: Nice.
• 7:40
  >> Cameron: An infrared camera for those. For those nighttime.
• 7:43
  Yeah, the nighttime stuff. Especially since he's like into the
• 7:45
  cryptozoology.
• 7:47
  >> Skylar: Truead.
• 7:47
  >> Cameron: and he's got a digital sound recorder as like a kind
• 7:50
  of like external microphones.
• 7:52
  >> Skylar: Right.
• 7:52
  >> Cameron: Kind of stuff. He's also got a metal detector and an
• 7:55
  electromagnetic field detector. So
• 7:58
  no, nothing is getting undetected. That's right
• 8:01
  around this man's. And he's got
• 8:04
  a.32 revolver because.
• 8:07
  >> Skylar: Because it was an option they
• 8:10
  str to revolver what they is or did
• 8:13
  he like take it from his parents?
• 8:15
  >> Cameron: He like, you know, if you're going out like
• 8:17
  look into the crypto zoology kind of stuff you
• 8:20
  got. You gott stay prepared.
• 8:21
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: You got Got a take draf.
• 8:24
  >> Skylar: I don't.
• 8:24
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I'm so.
• 8:25
  >> Cameron: He's honestly surprised that they let him.
• 8:27
  >> Cameron: On the bus with.
• 8:28
  >> Skylar: Oh, wait, dude. Yeah. So when you guys are at the state or. It wasn't
• 8:31
  even a station. It was literally just like a meetup spot. Like the
• 8:34
  guy that put out the ad, Willie, he's like, yeah, okay, I'm gonna
• 8:37
  pick you guys up at 6am M at the spot.
• 8:39
  And you showed up there. There was no check
• 8:42
  of any kind. You just got you guys on the bus and drove you
• 8:45
  out to the island.
• 8:46
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yeah.
• 8:46
  >> Skylar: Sounds really sketchy.
• 8:48
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yeah, he might have done background chec.
• 8:50
  >> Cameron: The background checks ahead of time.
• 8:52
  >> Skylar: Sure.
• 8:52
  >> Cameron: You know, he was just a consolidated spot.
• 8:54
  >> Cameron: We are working with children.
• 8:56
  >> Skylar: Well, you would hope. Those are just here for
• 8:59
  setup.
• 9:01
  >> Cameron: We're not gonna work at the camp?
• 9:03
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: No, we're like, oh, I, thought.
• 9:04
  >> Cameron: We were gonna work at the camp.
• 9:06
  >> Skylar: A week long thing. Yeah, sorry.
• 9:09
  Sorry to ruin your expectations.
• 9:11
  >> Skylar: I don't know.
• 9:11
  >> Skylar: Maybe.
• 9:12
  >> Cameron: Actually, you know what?
• 9:13
  >> Skylar: Maybe there's an opportunity that you can.
• 9:14
  >> Cameron: I was gonna say some people work.
• 9:16
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Just for the setup while other people do both. Sure, sure.
• 9:19
  >> Skylar: I think that would be an option. Let's call it an option.
• 9:21
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: He said that's what my character is doing.
• 9:24
  >> Skylar: Trial run. He's like, I only got like two
• 9:26
  positions available. I've hired all the other people that we need to
• 9:29
  run things and only got two available. So whoever my two favorites
• 9:32
  that did the most work, will go on
• 9:35
  to continue at the camp.
• 9:38
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Interesting hiring process.
• 9:41
  >> Skylar: and lastly, we have, Martin
• 9:44
  Fresh and, Greieve Gershwin. the two
• 9:47
  you guys are going to be bunking in the Fig cabin.
• 9:50
  >> Skylar: The camp owner points a finger off past the cabin that
• 9:53
  the girls just headed off to, and you spy a second one nestled
• 9:56
  behind it. just nearby the steepled
• 9:58
  chapel building. would you guys like to
• 10:01
  describe a little bit about what kind of gear you guys are
• 10:04
  holding on to and carrying with you?
• 10:06
  >> Cameron: I'll start.
• 10:07
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: my guy, he. He he's got
• 10:09
  khaki cargo pants on. Oh,
• 10:12
  okay. and he's got like a regular shirt on, like a
• 10:15
  T shirt. And then over top of it, he's got like a khaki vest on
• 10:18
  that matches the cargo pants. And he's got lots of
• 10:21
  pockets for.
• 10:23
  >> Cameron: Whatever he may need.
• 10:24
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: And he's wearing a baseball cap that just says hat
• 10:27
  on it. sponsor.
• 10:30
  And then he's got the comically. The
• 10:33
  comical.
• 10:34
  >> Skylar: Just large dollop of sunscreen on his
• 10:37
  nose. Got him to take that Notse.
• 10:39
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: And he grabs his m backpack, which is also
• 10:42
  the same matching color as his outfit. Like, he bought like
• 10:45
  a. Like a. Like a set for like a camping
• 10:48
  set.

• 10:53
  >> Cameron: Two straps on it, and he tosses.
• 10:55
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: It on his back and he's standing there
• 10:58
  like he's ready to go.
• 10:59
  >> Skylar: It sounds like a great niche market, like
• 11:02
  full sets of camping gear and
• 11:05
  gear. Yeah. That all have a, color scheme that matches.
• 11:08
  >> Cameron: I think they'd be like, whose S10 is this? Oh,

• 11:16
  >> Skylar: How. What is Greieve Gershwin? what's he hauling
• 11:19
  with him?

  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So he likes to travel pretty light
• 11:22
  just so he can drop everything and jump after
• 11:25
  the nearest snake or gate or. Or whatever. So
• 11:28
  he's just got his. Right, we're just gonna. With the
• 11:31
  really short khaki shorts. Yeah, the really short
• 11:34
  pea Makes everybody uncomfortable. Exactly. And then he's
• 11:37
  got the. The matching button up shs and the bandana. And then
• 11:40
  for equipment, he just has a pretty light
• 11:42
  little knapsack type thing. Just one of those braw string
• 11:45
  knapsacks.
• 11:46
  >> Skylar: Okay, so you. Nobody has a fanny pack? Just to
• 11:49
  clarify.
• 11:50
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Oh, no, he's no nerd. He. I have a fanny
• 11:52
  pack.
• 11:53
  >> Skylar: Weren't AF freh as a pany pack.
• 11:54
  >> Cameron: It also matches.
• 11:56
  >> Skylar: And you've got an epipenn in there.
• 11:57
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Just in case expired.
• 12:00
  >> Skylar: And.
• 12:00
  >> Cameron: Well, he doesn't have an epic pe.
• 12:02
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: In it, but he does have his.
• 12:03
  >> Cameron: Pocket knife in it, a multi tool.
• 12:05
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: In it, and a, bandages.
• 12:06
  >> Cameron: Multiple bandages.
• 12:08
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: His sunscreens in it.
• 12:09
  >> Cameron: Do I need to keep going or.
• 12:10
  >> Skylar: It's pretty good. With that being said, grieve Gershwin
• 12:13
  when kind of. I'm scared to
• 12:16
  ask, but what kind of equipment does this gar hunter wannabe
• 12:19
  guy have on his presence?
• 12:21
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So having hunted near and wide,
• 12:23
  he does come prepared with
• 12:26
  a first aid kit full.
• 12:28
  >> Skylar: Oh, good.
• 12:29
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Various medicine, mostly antivenoms.
• 12:31
  >> Skylar: that makes sense. Sammon.
• 12:32
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: No, those are all refrigerator. You can't have those
• 12:34
  areers. You can,
• 12:37
  but, beer best. He is. He does walk
• 12:40
  around with a net launcher. Oh, okay. And
• 12:43
  in dire situations, when it is his
• 12:46
  life or the others, he does carry a survival knife.
• 12:48
  >> Skylar: I kind of like the idea that, going back to your character
• 12:51
  creation, I like the idea that he's very,
• 12:54
  peaceful and pacifistic when it
• 12:57
  comes to animals. But if people get in a way, he's like,
• 13:00
  oh, no, no, if you mess with the animal, I'm gonna.
• 13:03
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I'm gonna shoot you.
• 13:04
  >> Skylar: Or in this case, stab you or whatever. I don't know. Anyway,
• 13:07
  I'll leave that up to you. So you all spend the next 10 minutes
• 13:10
  unpacking your m materials that you brought along
• 13:13
  before heading back to the Mess hall, where Mr. Willie is
• 13:15
  waiting with a small breakfast of donuts,
• 13:18
  chopped fruit alongside with cups of water and
• 13:21
  orange juice to wash down the food all.
• 13:23
  >> Skylar: I hope you all settled in nicely.
• 13:25
  >> Skylar: He says with a beaning smile.
• 13:27
  >> Skylar: There's plenty of work to be done in this short time that spans
• 13:30
  this week, but, I figured I give you all a little bit of background
• 13:33
  on. On the camp and the island that we,
• 13:36
  Before we get started on everything.
• 13:40
  >> Skylar: Ophelia lets out a groan of annoyance. Hazel,
• 13:43
  who sits next to her, is smiling ear to ear, excited to
• 13:46
  be educated.
• 13:47
  >> Skylar: I'm sure that amidst your history
• 13:49
  classes.
• 13:50
  >> Skylar: Or teachings, he gives Barton Fresh
• 13:53
  a glance.
• 13:54
  >> Skylar: You may have heard about the Lost Colony.
• 13:57
  It was a group of early American settlers that had come
• 14:00
  to this island. Well, their leader,
• 14:03
  a man named John White, decided
• 14:06
  to rush back off to England on a supply run shortly
• 14:09
  after they landed. And unfortunately, he was delayed
• 14:12
  for three whole years before he could get back to
• 14:15
  this island. And unfortunately, once he did, he
• 14:18
  found the settlement was completely abandoned. With not a
• 14:20
  soue insight, all that was left behind was the
• 14:23
  word Croatoan scratched into a wooden beam.
• 14:27
  Well, needless to say, this American
• 14:29
  mystery has intrigued myself and other
• 14:32
  historians for decades. So when I m
• 14:35
  commissioned the development of this part, I was
• 14:37
  incredibly excited at the idea of digging up some cloth
• 14:40
  and pieces of the mystery. And we most
• 14:43
  certainly did. we found artifacts, tools,
• 14:46
  letters, and so much more left behind by those early
• 14:49
  settlers and those that came after.
• 14:52
  >> Skylar: Mr. Willie beckons for you all to follow him as he
• 14:55
  leads you across the floor of the mess hall to a
• 14:58
  protrusion in the north corner where a sectioned room has
• 15:01
  been set up as a small museum. Various
• 15:03
  glass cases line the walls and sit on pedestals
• 15:06
  labeled with a variety of information highlighting the native
• 15:09
  tribds of the area and the facts about the early
• 15:12
  settlers.
• 15:13
  >> Skylar: Become a bit of a collector, Willie.
• 15:15
  >> Skylar: Admits with a slight andbarrassed chuckle.
• 15:18
  >> Skylar: I've even gone as far as to reach out to colleagues over
• 15:21
  in England.
• 15:22
  >> Skylar: Who have been able to procure me.
• 15:23
  >> Skylar: Some letters in ship'logs and other records
• 15:26
  from therein left behind by those who were connected to these early
• 15:29
  settlers that came to Roanoke. Almost all the
• 15:32
  documents I have Found are here.
• 15:35
  there are a few others that I have in my personal office
• 15:38
  over in the lighthouse, which, I might add, is,
• 15:41
  the only structure on this campsite that is off limits to all
• 15:44
  of you. So just be aware.
• 15:46
  >> Skylar: so what happened to him? Justin chimes in from
• 15:49
  the back of the small crowd you've all created at the entry of this little
• 15:52
  museum room.
• 15:53
  >> Skylar: I beg your pardon?
• 15:55
  >> Skylar: The Lost Colony or whatever. Did you figure out
• 15:58
  what happened to him?
• 15:59
  >> Skylar: Oh, well, we've certainly found
• 16:02
  a lot of clues, but nothing in the form of concrete
• 16:05
  evidence per se. most signs point to the
• 16:08
  likeliness that the settlers chose to integrate with the
• 16:10
  nearby Croatoan tribe.
• 16:12
  >> Skylar: Seems a little anticlimactic. Ophelia
• 16:15
  Scugffs.
• 16:16
  >> Skylar: perhaps. But even leading up to the colony's
• 16:18
  disappearance, there was a plethora of trials and
• 16:21
  tribulations and drama that was going on and.
• 16:24
  >> Skylar: What?
• 16:25
  >> Skylar: Well, I'll leave all that to, you guys to explore yourselves
• 16:28
  amidst these clues. there are all sorts of hints and
• 16:31
  answers hidden among this evidence here in this museum.
• 16:34
  So during your free time, I encourage you to swing
• 16:37
  back through here and see what you can find. And who
• 16:39
  knows, maybe you'll find something that I missed. But,
• 16:42
  anyways, I think that's a good transition to discuss the
• 16:45
  work that needs to be done throughout the week
• 16:48
  and assign each of you some of that work.
• 16:51
  >> Skylar: So, Mr. Willie kind of goes through the
• 16:53
  various jobs and tasks that we will need to be taken care of over the course
• 16:57
  of the time here at Camp Roanoke. he
• 16:59
  mentions that based on the amount of work there is to be done,
• 17:02
  it makes sense that each person kind of divvy up about
• 17:05
  3 of those jobs to focus on while they're
• 17:08
  here. And that way, ideally, everything will get
• 17:11
  accomplished. So, would any of you like to
• 17:13
  volunteer for anything in particular? There's the general.
• 17:16
  Cleaning and dusting, de winerization of the
• 17:19
  facility, unloading camp supplies and organization,
• 17:21
  cabin preparation, equipment, testing and repair, pool
• 17:24
  preparation, treating and cleaning, distribution, and
• 17:27
  setup of equipment, kitchen cleaning and preparations,
• 17:30
  restroom cleaning and preparations, yard work,
• 17:33
  things like mowing, weeding,
• 17:36
  prepping the sand.
• 17:37
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Anything in particular that's jump at the, yard
• 17:40
  work.
• 17:40
  >> Cameron: Joe will clean the pool.
• 17:42
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I wanted to clean the pool too. This
• 17:45
  should have been faster.
• 17:46
  >> Cameron: People can clean.
• 17:48
  >> Cameron: O yes.
• 17:49
  >> Skylar: that just means that you guys will be locked into a
• 17:52
  situation where you may be just talking to each other.
• 17:55
  >> Cameron: Oh, what?
• 17:57
  >> Skylar: Well, Bo well, thenn
• 18:00
  switch jobs.
• 18:00
  >> Cameron: We won t be talking to each other becausez so be Joe'gotta be
• 18:03
  Blotted.
• 18:04
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So he. Yeah, that sounds about right.
• 18:05
  >> Skylar: It's gotta be Kids, open up the pool.
• 18:07
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Kids these daysy's talking to his camera.
• 18:10
  >> Skylar: Soap nation.
• 18:11
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So nation Nation.
• 18:13
  >> Cameron: So by soap studs.
• 18:15
  >> Skylar: awesome. So, essentially, with the assignment of.
• 18:18
  >> Cameron: All the work, were we just picking one job?
• 18:21
  >> Skylar: Well, we can start with one job. I. It really doesn't matter that much.
• 18:24
  It was really just to determine who you kind of ended up with because the
• 18:26
  NBC'also picked jobs. And so if there was an
• 18:29
  opportunity where you wanted to talk to them at all and call them at
• 18:32
  all, Totally, up to you. And if you wanted to, if
• 18:35
  there was one that really caught your interest, I could just assign you
• 18:37
  workday.
• 18:38
  >> Cameron: Then Soapy Joe will do the cabin preparation.
• 18:41
  >> Skylar: Okay, so Soapy Joe is go going toa go, prep the cabins.
• 18:44
  We got Martin Fresh is going toa be working on the pool.
• 18:47
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Making it fresh.
• 18:48
  >> Skylar: Making it fresh. Fantastic. And in grieve. What did you
• 18:51
  y mowing Yard work. awesome. So Mr. Willie kind of gives you
• 18:54
  guys the full list of assignments of everything that needs to be done in the park.
• 18:56
  He kind of marks names next to some of this work to make sure that,
• 18:59
  you know, it's distributed pretty nicely. And then he
• 19:02
  bids you all ado. He says, you know, you got your cabin set up, all
• 19:05
  your years inside. He plans
• 19:08
  to return in one week's time. And as
• 19:11
  he's leaving, he gives you one final
• 19:14
  win. shout out.
• 19:15
  >> Skylar: o run. I'll be back on the mainland running marketing
• 19:18
  and such for the park. So I'll trust you all can be trusted to keep
• 19:21
  up with things here. But u do be aware the bridge
• 19:24
  will be unavailable during your week. So, I mean, unless
• 19:27
  there's a major emergency,
• 19:30
  neither I nor anybody else will be able to really pick you
• 19:33
  up until the week'over so
• 19:36
  anyway, see you gu.
• 19:37
  >> Skylar: And he hop back into the bus and he
• 19:40
  heads back to the mainland.
• 19:43
  >> Cameron: We have food, right?
• 19:44
  >> Skylar: Yeah. Oh, yeah. There's a food, like here in the mess hall. Like you can. There's a
• 19:47
  kitchen in.
• 19:47
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So he's not gonna stay to make sure that
• 19:51
  we're doing our cleanup job
• 19:53
  correctlyage.
• 19:54
  >> Cameron: Yeah. Sound.
• 19:56
  >> Skylar: Say what you sound like je Justin is over there. He goes, oh,
• 19:59
  yeah, dude, let's have a raer razer on
• 20:02
  Roanoke.
• 20:02
  >> Cameron: Who cares about cleaning?
• 20:04
  >> Skylar: And then he. And then he kind of leans up to you and he's like, I don't know about the old guy
• 20:07
  over there, though. He was like a nerd. He seems like a
• 20:10
  narc. Oh, yeah, dude, It's.
• 20:12
  >> Cameron: I'm just glad I don't have to.
• 20:13
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Clean the pool with him.
• 20:14
  >> Cameron: I'm kind of glad that I hopped over to cabin clean. Guy
• 20:17
  seems like a loser.
• 20:18
  >> Skylar: Yeah, I'm glad I didn't get the pool either.
• 20:21
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: my guy got a, ah, giant.
• 20:23
  >> Cameron: Smile on his face. Strai. And then you
• 20:26
  guys hear him like, you hear a camera click. And then
• 20:28
  the scroll of him. And in
• 20:31
  like this old. Those old disposable wind
• 20:34
  up. You hear it like the disposable click
• 20:37
  sound of those dis. And then you just put the. Him
• 20:40
  turning the knob to prep the next one as
• 20:43
  he's taking a picture of just like a potted plant on a
• 20:45
  windowill.
• 20:47
  >> Skylar: Oh, u. I. I'm the one.
• 20:48
  >> Cameron: That got the pool. I got the pool.
• 20:50
  >> Skylar: and you see Hazel is raising her hand.
• 20:53
  Hazel gives off the vibes that she.
• 20:56
  When group assignments are done, she just does the
• 20:59
  whole thing. It's not even like nobody
• 21:02
  else wanted to. She just did it
• 21:05
  before anybody really had a chance to even assign the work
• 21:08
  between them all. she'got glasses, she'got
• 21:11
  freckles, she'got red hair. And like I said, she'got a
• 21:13
  comically large backpack. Mabel.
• 21:16
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Mabel. Vibes, Ma.
• 21:18
  >> Skylar: With that being said, for the next three
• 21:20
  days, you guys are doing various work. And
• 21:23
  so like that, I want to give you guys an interact or an opportunity to
• 21:26
  interact with the NPCs. So based on the list that I
• 21:29
  have here, Hazel is going to be working at the pool with Martin
• 21:32
  Fresh. Soapy Joe, what did you end up deciding on?
• 21:35
  >> Cameron: M. cabin cleaning.
• 21:36
  >> Skylar: Cabin cleaning. You're goingna be with Ophelia,
• 21:39
  the one.
• 21:39
  >> Cameron: That doesn't want to be here.
• 21:41
  >> Skylar: Yeah. And then finally we got grief. Who's
• 21:44
  going to be doing yard work? Anyone want to kick things off? Anyone
• 21:47
  in particular want to start with the interaction?
• 21:50
  >> Cameron: I guess I can.
• 21:51
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. So, Connor, AKA Soapy
• 21:54
  Joe, you are cleaning up the cabins.
• 21:57
  Yep. And, do you have a particular cabin that you're
• 22:00
  at looking in the map that I have in front of you?
• 22:01
  >> Cameron: Spe @ the banana Cabinana.
• 22:03
  >> Skylar: Cabin. All right. You're at the Banana Cabin.
• 22:05
  >> Cameron: NER Cabin.
• 22:06
  >> Skylar: Ophelia.
• 22:07
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yep.
• 22:07
  >> Skylar: And what are you guys currently working on? Well, what are you
• 22:10
  working on? And maybe she's doing another element of it, like she's washing
• 22:13
  windows.
• 22:13
  >> Cameron: Well, Soapy Joe, he's got to be. He's got to film this vlog,
• 22:16
  right? So he's got to pull out the camera real quick. He's
• 22:19
  got to flip it around. And Ophelia is, like, off in the
• 22:22
  room.
• 22:22
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: He's like.
• 22:23
  >> Cameron: So he turns on the camera, like, what's up?
• 22:25
  >> Skylar: Su'nation, it's your boy, Soapy Joe.
• 22:27
  >> Cameron: We have Roanoke island in Camp Roanoke in North
• 22:30
  Carolina. This is the home of the lost
• 22:33
  colony. Dude, we'renna see what happened
• 22:36
  here. Why did they disappear? Who disappeared? And heoes
• 22:39
  really close to the camera.
• 22:40
  >> Skylar: Maybe it was Bigfoot.
• 22:42
  >> Cameron: And we'll just be here the whole week.
• 22:44
  >> Skylar: We're gonna spend 168
• 22:47
  hours here at.

• 22:51
  of that mystery. Stay tuned. And also,
• 22:54

  Quantum Beans, for sponsoring this video. More about them later.
• 23:00
  He just, like, hits the off button and I'SORRY that was too
• 23:03
  loud. I gotta be up for my audience, you know,
• 23:06
  It's.
• 23:07
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah, it's fine. I was pretty much just trying to ignore it to the
• 23:10
  best of my abilities. Wait, did you say quantum beans? Quantum
• 23:12
  beans. Yeah, I actually like quantum beans. They're actually really good.
• 23:15
  Really? Yeah, I drink a lot of, Quantum means
• 23:18
  coffee.
• 23:19
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: That's sick, man.
• 23:20
  >> Skylar: S your darkest rose. It's the dark.
• 23:22
  >> Cameron: It just opens your third eye.
• 23:24
  >> Skylar: It's just.
• 23:25
  >> Cameron: They just get it, you know? They just get.
• 23:27
  >> Skylar: Yeah. Do you know a lot about third eyes?
• 23:29
  >> Cameron: Yeah, that's, like my thing.
• 23:30
  >> Skylar: That's like.
• 23:31
  >> Cameron: So I got this YouTube channel, right? We got, like. Got, like
• 23:33
  50K subs on it.
• 23:35
  >> Skylar: Wow.
• 23:35
  >> Cameron: And that's like, all we do is we just, like. We do
• 23:38
  cryptozoology. We do some conspiracy theories.
• 23:41
  We dive deep into the mind.
• 23:43
  >> Skylar: The t o my God, into the.
• 23:44
  >> Cameron: Mind and into the mystery.
• 23:46
  >> Skylar: The mind is definitely a deep place to go into. I. To
• 23:49
  explore the depths of the mind. But mostly through, like,
• 23:52
  Like Eldritch stuff. I like to, like.
• 23:55
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Like Cthulhu.
• 23:56
  >> Skylar: I'm a really big fan of that work. I read
• 23:59
  a lot of Edgaran Poe, actually.
• 24:01
  >> Cameron: You read the name My con?
• 24:02
  >> Skylar: Yeah. Then the dark hearts? Pretty much.
• 24:05
  >> Cameron: Dude, you should check out my YouTube channel. It's called Soby
• 24:08
  Joe. So be Joe got like 50k subs.
• 24:10
  >> Cameron: But re. We're.
• 24:11
  >> Cameron: We're getting.
• 24:12
  >> Cameron: We're getting.
• 24:12
  >> Skylar: I don't know, the other goths at school, if they saw
• 24:15
  that I subscribe to a guy named Soi Joe, I think
• 24:18
  they stopped hanging out with me.
• 24:20
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: No.
• 24:20
  >> Cameron: Cause, like, it's. It's just, the name m. You gotta, like.
• 24:23
  You gotta see the content. We're turnurning out some stuff,
• 24:26
  like, you know, What? I'm actually tonight I'm going
• 24:28
  sasquatch hunting in the little trees area.
• 24:31
  >> Skylar: Oh really?
• 24:32
  >> Cameron: Yeah, you should come with, dude.
• 24:33
  >> Skylar: I mean me? Yeah. Actually, that sound pretty tempting. I
• 24:36
  love the dark
• 24:40
  spaces.
• 24:41
  >> Cameron: Yeah, I love the dark spaces, dude.
• 24:43
  >> Skylar: Yeah. Do you mind if I. If we do go out there, do you mind if I
• 24:46
  do like a low ritual or something? Is that u.
• 24:49
  >> Cameron: As long as you don't like sacrifice me or anything.
• 24:51
  >> Skylar: I. No, no. We haven't gone that far yet.
• 24:53
  Noayids. No, it's more like
• 24:56
  like some light chanting and mixing of various
• 24:59
  herbs and spices.
• 25:01
  >> Cameron: So she's the kernel.
• 25:03
  >> Skylar: Usually go with like 11 herbs and
• 25:05
  spices. That's usually my maximum. That I have
• 25:08
  gone as far as. But I have friends within my coven that
• 25:11
  have gone as far as 16. 16.
• 25:14
  Yeah.
• 25:14
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yeah.
• 25:15
  >> Skylar: Let. Let's do it, man. Right on. Okay. Yeah,
• 25:17
  but like let's not bring
• 25:20
  Hazel or Justin. Those guys are annoying. Braydn
• 25:23
  is fine. He's quiet and that's important. But the other
• 25:26
  two are like blah blah blah all the time.
• 25:29
  It's annoying as all get out. I don't know about the other
• 25:32
  two guys, but the one guy kind of has
• 25:35
  freaky shorts. They're really. Yeah, you
• 25:38
  really.
• 25:38
  >> Cameron: You just kind of hope that he doesn't like squat
• 25:41
  downus'like.
• 25:42
  >> Skylar: You're afraid of what you're going toa see? more than anything.
• 25:45
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 25:45
  >> Cameron: So we'll.
• 25:46
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: We'll see about him, you know.
• 25:48
  >> Skylar: But you know, there's also the old
• 25:50
  guy too. I don't know about him. Oh dude, I swear he works
• 25:53
  at my school. Does he? Yeah, I'm pretty sure he does. I think he's like
• 25:56
  the history teacher or something. I don't know. He never does
• 25:59
  like gothic history, so I like pretty much never go to his
• 26:02
  class. Just been skirting by on A C
• 26:05
  minus. AC's get degrees though. Yeah.
• 26:08
  Yeah.
• 26:08
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So yeah, let's.
• 26:10
  >> Skylar: I just realized I'm a 27 year old guy talking to high school
• 26:13
  stud.
• 26:13
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Well, I'm.
• 26:14
  >> Skylar: I'm a senior.
• 26:15
  >> Cameron: Okay.
• 26:15
  >> Skylar: I mean I'm.
• 26:16
  >> Skylar: Are you?
• 26:20
  >> Skylar: Yeah. Let's say you're 18.
• 26:23
  >> Cameron: I like that you're at least 18.
• 26:24
  >> Skylar: Just to clarify list like isn't like a date? No. Or Joe.
• 26:27
  No.
• 26:28
  >> Cameron: Why not just say what you do. It kind of looks a little
• 26:30
  weird.
• 26:31
  >> Skylar: Well, not if we have Braydn and we have. Yeah. Yeah.
• 26:34
  >> Cameron: Let's get at least a couple other people up in there.
• 26:36
  >> Skylar: No, yeah, absolutely. I mean in sa. so do you really think that Bigfoot
• 26:39
  is On this island, man, I got a
• 26:42
  good.
• 26:43
  >> Cameron: I got a good feeling that I've.
• 26:44
  >> Skylar: Heard some people may have seen about also. You've
• 26:47
  never seen Bigfoot before? I could tell you more about
• 26:50
  that later. But yeah, we like cryptic.
• 26:54
  >> Cameron: I have experienced Bigfoot.
• 26:56
  >> Skylar: I. I don't want to
• 26:59
  say too loudus.
• 27:00
  >> Cameron: Like I don't want pay sh.
• 27:02
  >> Skylar: It'just us in this cabin cleaning. Yeah.
• 27:04
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: But you never know what kind of.
• 27:05
  >> Skylar: Microphones or whatever they got up in these things. Oh,
• 27:08
  fair enough. Want to just want to make sure.
• 27:10
  >> Cameron: That no one else really hears because a lot of people don't
• 27:12
  understand. They don't understand about Bigfoot.
• 27:15
  >> Skylar: Yeah, I mean, I get the solace and the desire
• 27:18
  to like separate yourself from the rest of like the idiots
• 27:21
  in society. So like, I kind of get it.
• 27:24
  All right, fantastic. So, yes. You guys have
• 27:27
  plans to potentially, go film a
• 27:30
  video and whatever it is that Ophelia does
• 27:33
  in the woods, just outside of the campgrounds,
• 27:35
  which. Pretty cool, between Fatty or so
• 27:38
  should I say Greieve and Martin. Anybody
• 27:41
  else want to jump in here? Martin, you are
• 27:44
  cleaning the pool with Hazel. I think Hazel is
• 27:47
  also somebody you probably recognize. She
• 27:50
  is a senior and she is working towards.
• 27:52
  Actually shes graduated this year.
• 27:55
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 27:55
  >> Skylar: And she's going into college this coming school
• 27:58
  year.
• 27:59
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Okay. So we're just standing by the pool cleaning
• 28:02
  it, I'm guess saying.
• 28:03
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 28:03
  >> Cameron: Oh my gosh.
• 28:04
  >> Skylar: Mr. Fresh. I.
• 28:05
  >> Skylar: You know, I was really surprised when I saw you in the
• 28:08
  lineup of people to do this.
• 28:12
  >> Cameron: Well, yes, yes, Hazel, I'm
• 28:15
  really excited to be working at this summer
• 28:17
  camp.
• 28:18
  >> Skylar: Yeah, absolutely. So like, is there a specific reason that you
• 28:21
  chose this job or.
• 28:22
  >> Cameron: Oh, just earn on the old paycheck while
• 28:25
  working away this summer.
• 28:27
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay.
• 28:27
  >> Cameron: So school'out of session.
• 28:29
  >> Skylar: Don't you know, I suppose that's a fair point. Do like teachers
• 28:32
  not get paid enough or.
• 28:33
  >> Cameron: Oh no, I get paid plety. It's just a little
• 28:36
  extra dollars on the top. It's like a cherry on
• 28:39
  a cake.
• 28:40
  >> Skylar: Sure.
• 28:40
  >> Cameron: I love cake. Hazel.
• 28:43
  >> Skylar: Yeah? Cake is dead. Cake is de.
• 28:45
  >> Cameron: Are you excited be heading, off to college?
• 28:47
  >> Skylar: Yeah, absolutely I am. I'm hoping to get like, lots of sort of like
• 28:50
  kind of creditation to some extent for doing this job
• 28:53
  here at the park. My goal is crossing my
• 28:56
  fingers to get a degree in marine
• 28:59
  biology. You know, I'm gonna get that doctor's degree.
• 29:02
  >> Cameron: Oh, that's a hard field to get into.
• 29:04
  >> Skylar: Yeah, I know, I know, but I feel Pretty confident. You know,
• 29:07
  I. I mean, you. Anybody knows I have, like,
• 29:10
  straight A's all through high school. So, I mean, I'm not too
• 29:13
  worried. I don't know. College is just like a whole different
• 29:16
  world, you know?
• 29:16
  >> Cameron: No, I know. I went through wa years of it.
• 29:19
  >> Skylar: Yeah. it's definitely a scary transition, you know, just being
• 29:22
  off on my own
• 29:25
  and, not having my parents there to be, like, all
• 29:28
  me about, you know, study, study, study, and, you know,
• 29:31
  do these prep tests and stuff like that. But, like, I think I'm ready.
• 29:33
  >> Cameron: Oh, yeah, you're a smart kid and you got
• 29:36
  initiative, and that's what matters in the college world.
• 29:39
  >> Skylar: Well, hey, you know, that initiative is why I'm here in the first place. Like, I
• 29:42
  figured, you know, we're on an island after all. Like, there's a very
• 29:45
  high chance that I could see marine life right like that around
• 29:48
  the islands. And so, like, that'that's what I'm hoping.
• 29:50
  >> Cameron: Hey, if you play your cards right, you can maybe get this
• 29:53
  as a preliminary elective.
• 29:55
  >> Skylar: Yeah, I always thought it was like, maybe, an early step
• 29:58
  towards, like an internship even.
• 30:00
  >> Cameron: That could work too.
• 30:02
  >> Skylar: Sure.
• 30:02
  >> Cameron: Okay.
• 30:03
  >> Skylar: I mean, I guess maybe. Nah, I don't know. I don't know what kind of connection.
• 30:05
  >> Cameron: I got internship hours working in a camp back in
• 30:08
  my college days. Oh, really? Oh, yeah.
• 30:11
  Wow.
• 30:12
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I mean, was.
• 30:13
  >> Skylar: What was. What was the camp like?
• 30:15
  >> Cameron: It was, a science camp.
• 30:18
  >> Skylar: What?
• 30:18
  >> Cameron: Yeah. You went to a science camp? Yeah.
• 30:22
  It's a big part of the reason why I'm actually working here
• 30:25
  this summer.
• 30:25
  >> Skylar: Almost as cool as space camp.
• 30:28
  >> Cameron: Space camp? I was.
• 30:31
  I. Space camp came and went.
• 30:33
  >> Skylar: Like you went to space?
• 30:34
  >> Cameron: No, I didn't go to. I sadly did not. I
• 30:37
  didn't go to space camp.
• 30:38
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Oh, shoot.
• 30:39
  >> Cameron: I wanted to.
• 30:40
  >> Skylar: No, I mean, I wanted to as.
• 30:41
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Well, but m. My, if you're gonna.
• 30:43
  >> Skylar: Go into a marine biology, there's not really any point dealing with space in
• 30:46
  space camp.
• 30:47
  >> Cameron: It's pricey.
• 30:48
  >> Skylar: Yeah, that too.
• 30:48
  >> Cameron: You have to know someone to help pay for it. That's
• 30:51
  right. Or just not go.
• 30:53
  >> Skylar: And that's kind of how I ended.
• 30:55
  >> Cameron: So instead I went to the local science camp every summer.
• 30:58
  And that was just as good. Cool.
• 30:59
  >> Skylar: What kind of stuff do they do at Science can?
• 31:02
  Experiments?
• 31:03
  >> Cameron: U. lots of paier mache volcanoes,
• 31:07
  Potatoes with electricity.
• 31:09
  >> Skylar: Kindergarten.
• 31:10
  >> Cameron: Yeah, DAV was a little below me
• 31:13
  too. But, you know, it was still fun to be
• 31:15
  surrounded by my peers.
• 31:17
  >> Skylar: Oh, I would, I would assume in doing science, I mean,
• 31:20
  obviously that's. That's Just an abl.
• 31:22
  >> Skylar: Yes.
• 31:23
  >> Cameron: I just love being out in nature, too.
• 31:25
  >> Skylar: Hey, this is a perfect place for that.
• 31:27
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Exactly.
• 31:28
  >> Skylar: I also love nature, specifically ocean waters
• 31:31
  and the sea creatures that live inside of it.
• 31:34
  >> Cameron: Good thing we're on an island land.
• 31:36
  >> Skylar: What a heart saying.
• 31:38
  >> Cameron: Is that why you picked the pool?
• 31:41
  >> Skylar: Well'honest to be honest, I really wanted to
• 31:44
  do some of the equipment stuff, so hopefully I'll get it to do
• 31:47
  that later. Like this weekus. I really want to end up over at the north
• 31:49
  beach, and I think that just be the perfect place.
• 31:52
  >> Cameron: Oh, yeah. Find some photoplankton,
• 31:55
  some. Yeah. Crabs,
• 31:58
  starfish. Sure. Find yourself a
• 32:01
  waditing pool.
• 32:02
  >> Skylar: Sure.
• 32:02
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 32:02
  >> Skylar: Ah. And then I can, like, look underneath the rocks and see all the cool
• 32:05
  stuff. Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm going for.
• 32:07
  >> Cameron: I did that back in science camp.
• 32:10
  >> Skylar: Yeah. Did you find cool stuff?
• 32:11
  >> Cameron: Yeah, I found, like, a real cool rock with the
• 32:14
  skeleton in it.
• 32:15
  >> Skylar: Like a fossil.
• 32:16
  >> Cameron: Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's what they're called how you
• 32:19
  think.
• 32:19
  >> Skylar: About the possibility of finding fossils. And with that,
• 32:22
  we'll call a close on the interaction
• 32:25
  between Martin, Fresh and
• 32:27
  Hazel. and then last but not least, working the yard
• 32:30
  work, we've got Braden and
• 32:33
  Greieve Gershwin. Now, Greieve tell
• 32:35
  me if
• 32:37
  he'he's picking up
• 32:40
  entire, like, picnic tables
• 32:43
  and setting them out along like you'ly.
• 32:46
  Do you want a bow?
• 32:47
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: What are he was doing?
• 32:47
  >> Skylar: Or this is what I'm American brains doing this. But if you be down
• 32:50
  to mow or mowing's a really loud
• 32:53
  thing.
• 32:54
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Greie would be totally interested in cleaning
• 32:56
  up leaves or in o sherriff fallen tree
• 32:59
  debris, because he's heard that that is
• 33:02
  a great height of snakes or the cottonmuth.
• 33:06
  >> Skylar: Makes sense. That makes sense. Okay, so you're raking and
• 33:08
  clearing debris and stuff like that. when you clear a particular
• 33:11
  area, Brain'been making trips back and forth
• 33:14
  between the supply shack where a lot
• 33:17
  of the equipment is stored, and then bringing it back, sending it out. It's usually
• 33:20
  pretty heavy equipment. Like I said, he'got like, entire
• 33:23
  picnic tables that he's hauling in and out. and finally
• 33:26
  he comes back and he got an area cleared out. He sits down
• 33:28
  a table.
• 33:30
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Am I supposed to sit on the table? or is it give me an,
• 33:33
  invitation or asking me to help him lift the table?
• 33:35
  >> Skylar: Here's the tricky thing. Braydn's not the most talkative
• 33:38
  guy, so it's up to you. I mean, if you truly
• 33:41
  don't want to say a single thing to Braydn and
• 33:44
  we move past it. That's. If that's what you feel like your
• 33:46
  character is all about, that's totally fine.
• 33:49
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So truthfully, the only reason that Grie volunteered for
• 33:52
  this particular role is because it would be the
• 33:55
  most kind of scout worthy
• 33:57
  job. Or he can just. Oh yeah, it'scope out the
• 34:00
  area. Look. Sure. He looks for
• 34:03
  animal print or so scat.
• 34:06
  >> Skylar: Nice.
• 34:07
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: He has definitely mistaken a couple pieces of dirt for
• 34:09
  poo. But courseio was just. Just sometimes you get a little too.
• 34:12
  >> Skylar: Excited and you think it's poo that it's
• 34:15
  not. You get kind of bummed out.
• 34:17
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yes.
• 34:17
  >> Skylar: So fair enoughly.
• 34:18
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Tasted like dirt.
• 34:19
  >> Cameron: O.
• 34:20
  >> Skylar: You know, that's the best way to tell. Braden comes by and
• 34:23
  he sits down a ah, picnic table right by
• 34:26
  where you just finished out.
• 34:29
  >> Cameron: Man, they don't make them any lighter.
• 34:32
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: You need some help there, mate?
• 34:34
  >> Skylar: No, no, it'fine I got it.
• 34:36
  >> Cameron: I got it.
• 34:37
  >> Skylar: I don't worry about me. I wrestle in college professionally.
• 34:40
  So yeah, I'got. I've got it taken care of.
• 34:42
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Good. Cause I kinda scrawny. I don't do a whole lot of
• 34:45
  heavy lift. Unless you kinda alligator.
• 34:48
  >> Skylar: Yeah, I mean there'no off. No offense or anything like that, but.
• 34:50
  >> Skylar: You kinda look like a track kid.
• 34:52
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yeah. Go for speed rather than
• 34:55
  strength.
• 34:56
  >> Cameron: Hey, you know that's.
• 34:57
  >> Skylar: You teach their own. Teach your own.
• 34:59
  >> Cameron: U. So u.
• 35:01
  >> Skylar: Hey, look, I don't mean to be.
• 35:03
  >> Cameron: That guy, but u.
• 35:04
  >> Skylar: This outfit you got on, what's.
• 35:06
  >> Cameron: U.
• 35:07
  >> Skylar: What's.
• 35:08
  >> Skylar: Is it like your grandma maker for you or like
• 35:11
  what's going on there?
• 35:12
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Have you never seen the Crocodile Hungter
• 35:15
  diaries?
• 35:16
  >> Cameron: No, I'm 21.
• 35:19
  >> Skylar: is this like an old person thing?
• 35:21
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Well, I'm only 27 and I'm still
• 35:24
  big fan of Crocodile Huter.
• 35:26
  >> Skylar: That's like a six year difference.
• 35:28
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: A lot happens in six years.
• 35:30
  >> Cameron: A lot happens in six years.
• 35:31
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yes. That's my idols.
• 35:34
  >> Skylar: You would graduate from college and one and a half
• 35:36
  times in that span.
• 35:39
  Sorry, what were you saying? I had to run the math in my head.
• 35:42
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: No, you said you wrest. I'm glad you're not wearing your little
• 35:44
  leotarduse. That would be even shorter than my
• 35:47
  budgie shorts.
• 35:49
  >> Cameron: Oh yeah.
• 35:49
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I really looked to make sure that's the actual turf.
• 35:51
  >> Skylar: I mean I left them in the. In the cabin, but they are
• 35:54
  here.
• 35:55
  >> Cameron: You know, be honest.
• 35:56
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: You bring your leotard?
• 35:57
  >> Skylar: I was just about to say I'm not really 100% sure
• 36:00
  why I brought it just comfortable.
• 36:03
  I like to sleep in it.
• 36:04
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I'll tell you what. If I find an alligator, you and I can
• 36:07
  take turns wrestling it.
• 36:08
  >> Cameron: Oh, y. Yeah.
• 36:09
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Me and my budgie shorts. You and your leotard. We'll see you can
• 36:12
  pin it soonest.
• 36:13
  >> Skylar: Hey.
• 36:14
  >> Cameron: All right.
• 36:14
  >> Skylar: You know, hey, I'm always done for a competition. So you're, like, an alligator
• 36:17
  expert? Yeah. That was, like, your home.
• 36:18
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I'd say. I'm an enthusiast. I don't want to get too
• 36:21
  cocky and call myself an expert.
• 36:23
  >> Skylar: Okay, well, so there's
• 36:26
  actually alligators around here?
• 36:28
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yeah, the alligators are native to
• 36:31
  North Carolina.
• 36:32
  >> Skylar: We, like, on an island.
• 36:35
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Alligators can swim. They're amphibious.
• 36:37
  >> Cameron: Okay.
• 36:38
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Or reptilian, but.
• 36:39
  >> Cameron: Right.
• 36:39
  >> Skylar: I mean, I just wasn't sure, like, how far they
• 36:42
  swim. You know, I always thought they were, like, in lakes and
• 36:45
  rivers, but I also haven't studied, so. M. I'm
• 36:48
  way off. I'm way off.
• 36:49
  >> Cameron: You know what? This is your.
• 36:50
  >> Skylar: This is your area, not my area. My area is
• 36:53
  wrestling your areas.
• 36:54
  >> Cameron: Gators and stuff.
• 36:55
  >> Skylar: so, yeah, m. My apology.
• 36:56
  >> Cameron: My.
• 36:57
  >> Skylar: I'm not trying to say.
• 36:58
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: See where we were coming from from strictly, ecological
• 37:00
  standpoint, as there's not a lot of other bodies
• 37:03
  of water other than saltw water around thisah here
• 37:06
  island.
• 37:07
  >> Skylar: Do gators like saltater?
• 37:08
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: No, that's crocodiles.
• 37:10
  >> Skylar: Oh.
• 37:11
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: You know, the saltwater crocodile.
• 37:13
  >> Skylar: U. Oh, so you think there's crocodiles around here?
• 37:16
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: No, those are in Egypt.
• 37:18
  >> Skylar: Oh, interesting.
• 37:21
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: But if I found a crocodile, that'd be crazy. I'd
• 37:23
  be more famous than Steve.
• 37:27
  >> Skylar: Steve Irrin.
• 37:30
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: The crocodile haunter cry.
• 37:33
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah, the thing you mentioned before.
• 37:34
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yeah, that guy. Sorry.
• 37:36
  >> Cameron: Int interest.
• 37:37
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I. I just realize he's supposed to. You're supposed to be doing
• 37:40
  Australia now. I told you it was very bad. I got
• 37:42
  man. And that's about all I could handle. And I can'ad
• 37:45
  lib and come up with an accent at the same time.
• 37:48
  >> Skylar: well, good.
• 37:48
  >> Skylar: Good luck, finding this. This, on this gator hunt that you're
• 37:51
  doing. and with that, we kind of close things out with,
• 37:54
  Grieve Gershwin. After the first
• 37:57
  night, you guys, all head back to have
• 38:00
  dinner over at the mess hall. And Justin has been working at the
• 38:03
  mess hall. he's been getting the kitchen all cleaned up and ready, and
• 38:06
  he figured while he's there, he might as well make dinner. so he's
• 38:09
  putting plates and stuff in front of you, and he says, all right,
• 38:12
  so I don't know about you guys, but I Had this crazy cool
• 38:15
  idea. Hear me out. Okay, so we're
• 38:17
  here until Friday morning. Thursday
• 38:20
  night, we're pretty much gonna have all the work done. no big deal,
• 38:23
  right? Thursday. By Thursday, on
• 38:26
  Thursday night, we should totally have like a big
• 38:29
  bonfire. We can like, cook hot dogs
• 38:31
  and s'mores and
• 38:35
  tell scary stories. Just saying.
• 38:38
  Come on. Great idea. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
• 38:40
  O.
• 38:41
  >> Cameron: Well, sounds like a grand idea.
• 38:43
  >> Cameron: That's two yeses.
• 38:45
  >> Skylar: Anyone else?
• 38:46
  >> Cameron: I came out here for the camp experience, so
• 38:48
  let's have it.
• 38:49
  >> Skylar: Hazel. Hazel's like, I don't know. Okay, that's, U
• 38:52
  that you shut up.
• 38:53
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Not enough.
• 38:54
  >> Skylar: That's tonic mil,
• 38:56
  Ophelia. I said call me
• 38:59
  Onyx. Oh, sorry, Onyx. what about
• 39:02
  you? If I don't hear something that terrifies
• 39:05
  me to my absolute soul, I will
• 39:07
  probably lose it. So I'm in.
• 39:09
  >> Cameron: All right.
• 39:10
  >> Skylar: Sweet. Okay, Braydn. Brayden. Come on, my
• 39:13
  man. I don't really care what you do,
• 39:16
  as long as it doesn't bother me.
• 39:18
  Okay, that's again, not a know. What about you over here? dude
• 39:21
  with the shorts.
• 39:23
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Count me and mate.
• 39:26
  >> Cameron: O. I didn't know we had an Aussie with us.
• 39:30
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: It comes and goes, comes and goes.
• 39:32
  >> Skylar: It just kind of pops in her long. How long you
• 39:35
  lived in Australia?
• 39:37
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Never buunt, never lived there. I was
• 39:40
  on a three week mission trip there for O.
• 39:42
  >> Cameron: Is that where you got that fancy bandana
• 39:45
  from?
• 39:46
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: That's where.
• 39:47
  >> Cameron: Oh, that's nice. You know, your outfit kind
• 39:50
  of reminds me of the late great Steve Irwin.
• 39:53
  Finally somebody recognize you.
• 39:56
  >> Skylar: You see Brayn just roll his eyes.
• 39:58
  >> Cameron: Like this guy again.
• 39:59
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Oh my gosh.
• 40:00
  >> Skylar: And then you just see, you see Aphelia and Hazel kind of look over and. And
• 40:03
  they're like, who are they talking about? And he's like, it's just some old guy
• 40:06
  for same show.
• 40:08
  >> Cameron: I'm currently, like, beinning my arm, like
• 40:11
  doing wrestling maneuvers, and I'm like, oh, he knew
• 40:14
  how to tussle with them gators, didn't he? That's
• 40:17
  horrible form. You're gonna hurt yourself is what Steve
• 40:20
  Irwin did. He would wrestle them
• 40:22
  gators.
• 40:23
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: He was a bete.
• 40:26
  >> Cameron: I thought the gators were the butte.
• 40:28
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: He and they were a butte. No, a beau
• 40:31
  to society.
• 40:32
  >> Cameron: Oh, I believe it.
• 40:38
  >> Skylar: You guys come to the end of her first day. You sleep. Next
• 40:41
  morning you wake up, so on and so forth
• 40:43
  until you hit that Thursday night that
• 40:46
  Justin had been so excited for. It's Thursday is
• 40:49
  your last full day.
• 40:50
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: No more of us talking with any other NPCs?
• 40:53
  >> Skylar: I assume that you guys probably talked to him a little here on there
• 40:56
  Bonfire O true ye. Yeah, the
• 40:59
  bonfires whereever everything comes out. Mr. Willy
• 41:02
  will be returning on Friday morning to take you all back
• 41:05
  to the mainland and potentially hire on two of
• 41:08
  you more full time. you guys all see
• 41:10
  the large fire pit at the center of the camp
• 41:13
  and have one final cookout, which
• 41:16
  is going to be your send off per sev. you finish up
• 41:19
  your work Thursday afternoon, you spot braiden bringing in a
• 41:22
  few big o logs, to the fire pit, setting them
• 41:25
  inside, you head off to go clean up at your cabin
• 41:27
  just as it's starting to get dark. And so then by the time you
• 41:30
  get done at your respected cabin, you head back over, the
• 41:33
  flames are already started, the
• 41:36
  bonfire is up and running, it's roaring. And
• 41:39
  you sit down on one of the half log benches and you start
• 41:42
  cooking a, hot dog or a s'more or whatever it is that you want. as far
• 41:45
  as, like, camp food goes and over the heat,
• 41:48
  as everyone kind of nestles in, you've all gotten to
• 41:51
  know at least a little bit about each other over the course of your time
• 41:54
  here, and now's an opportunity to find out
• 41:56
  more. But before you guys can just kind of start
• 41:59
  getting into casual conversation about each other's lives.
• 42:02
  Justin stands up with a villainous grin across
• 42:05
  his face. Well, I have to admit,
• 42:08
  it's been, a great week working
• 42:10
  alongside all of you. some more than others.
• 42:14
  but I digress. We are the first
• 42:16
  people to get to enjoy Camp Roanoke. And that's pretty
• 42:19
  cool if you think about it. In my opinion, at least. So I
• 42:22
  think it's only fair that we leave something
• 42:25
  for the future campers.
• 42:28
  What did you have in mind? Ophelia asked
• 42:31
  skeptically. This.
• 42:33
  Justin withdraws his hand from behind his back and
• 42:36
  reveals a wooden totem that you guys
• 42:39
  recognize from one of the glass cases
• 42:42
  stashed in the museum wing of the mess hall.
• 42:45
  I don't think we're supposed to take those
• 42:48
  cases.
• 42:49
  >> Cameron: Wa. Hey, you're not supposed to have that.
• 42:51
  That's an artifact of the history area.
• 42:54
  >> Skylar: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, I'm probably not supposed to have it, but here's the
• 42:57
  thing. It's a special night. And I'm not gonna tell
• 43:00
  Willie if you guys don't tell Will.
• 43:02
  >> Cameron: What are youna do, Will?
• 43:04
  >> Skylar: All right, here. Here's what I'm thinking. So we each
• 43:07
  tell a scary story, right? We talked about this before,
• 43:10
  right? Scariest one that you know. And we'll
• 43:13
  pass the totem around. So then whoever has the totem,
• 43:16
  they get to tell their story. No interruptions,
• 43:19
  no comments from anybody. Nothing. That always ruins it.
• 43:22
  You know what I mean? We're justnna sit here quietly and let them
• 43:25
  finish the story. Okay, that's, that's going toa be our
• 43:28
  cool tradition that we're going toa start here at the camp
• 43:31
  and then it's going to get passed on, as whoever
• 43:34
  you know, comes here to the camp and like does their whole thing right. So if
• 43:37
  any of us, whatever, two of us get hired, you guys, you guys
• 43:39
  are responsible. Her pat in this onng
• 43:42
  u who wants to go first? And he holds out the totem to
• 43:45
  all of you.
• 43:47
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Greieve we'take the tot.
• 43:48
  >> Skylar: All right. Shorts is taking the totem. Also, by the way, I've
• 43:51
  been meaning to ask. How many pairs does I
• 43:54
  like this.
• 43:54
  >> Cameron: Name is just short'a love. They calling a name Shortarts for now.
• 43:57
  >> Skylar: I don't even care what his name is. He's short.
• 43:59
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Never the nickname I watchlt.
• 44:02
  Short.
• 44:03
  >> Cameron: Why you complain that you just got like one of the funniest
• 44:06
  nicknames?
• 44:08
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: It's just never the bigame. I expect it to be. I expect
• 44:10
  everything to be shortened. But it's. But
• 44:13
  Greed was short enough.
• 44:15
  >> Skylar: It is pretty short.
• 44:16
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Yeah, but Shorts.
• 44:17
  >> Skylar: But so short.
• 44:20
  All right, so you have the totem. U tell
• 44:23
  us your scary story.
• 44:29
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Alright folks. You've heard about things that
• 44:31
  stalk the land. Things that were once men. Like ghosts
• 44:34
  and wedding ding goes. Now let me tell you
• 44:37
  about something that belongs to the water. Something
• 44:40
  older. They call it the Gatoraur.
• 44:44
  Now I have spent my life around gaters. Respect
• 44:47
  them, understand them. Love em mostly.
• 44:50
  But the gatoraur, that's something else
• 44:53
  entirely. More than just a big gator, the
• 44:56
  legends of it extend all around the world. And they go back
• 44:58
  generations. Whispers among the old
• 45:01
  fishermen. Tales told in hushed tones around
• 45:04
  crackling fires much like this wall.
• 45:07
  They speak like a beast that
• 45:09
  dwarfs any normal alligator. A relic from
• 45:12
  a time when giants walk the earth. They say it
• 45:15
  has scales like iron, teeth like
• 45:18
  daggers, and an intelligence. An awareness
• 45:21
  that chills you to the bone. Maybe there's
• 45:23
  multiple of them. Or maybe it's just this one I've been
• 45:26
  hunting. That currently exists. Who knows.
• 45:30
  For years it was just folklore. Scary stories
• 45:33
  to keep kids away from the deep Wada. But lately
• 45:36
  the disappearances started subtly. A fishing boat
• 45:38
  here. A small skip stop there. Lost at sea,
• 45:41
  they said. Storms come quick. But
• 45:44
  the locals, they knew better. They felt it in the
• 45:47
  one a primal unease. I
• 45:50
  heard tale of a whale washing up on shores with a
• 45:53
  big o chunk of flesh bitten out of it. Now
• 45:56
  you tell me what a thing like
• 45:58
  that to the largest creature on this dang o
• 46:01
  planet. Then came the sightings.
• 46:04
  Not just glimpses into the murky depths.
• 46:06
  Fishermen swore they saw something fast and dark
• 46:09
  moving beneath the surface. Something that made their
• 46:12
  boats rock violently even in calm
• 46:15
  waters. One old salt, a
• 46:17
  man who'd wrestled gate as his whole life claimed he
• 46:20
  salt breach said it was the size of a small
• 46:23
  cot, its jaws lined with rows
• 46:26
  upon rows of teeth. You could lose a lem in its
• 46:29
  eyes. They set itlow with a malevolent
• 46:32
  green light. More boats vanished.
• 46:35
  Not wrecked, not overturned, just
• 46:38
  gone. Days later, debris
• 46:41
  would wash ashore. Splintered wood, torn
• 46:44
  nets. And sometimes other things.
• 46:46
  Things I won't describe in detail.
• 46:49
  Things that told of a hunger that knew no
• 46:52
  bounds. That's what drew me
• 46:55
  here. The legends, the recent spike in
• 46:58
  disappearances. I had to see for
• 47:00
  myself. Is it just a monster of myth?
• 47:03
  Or is there something truly lurking in these
• 47:06
  waters? Mr. Willie was kind enough to let
• 47:09
  me stay, help out with the camp in exchange for the
• 47:12
  chance to explore the sounds and inlets around the
• 47:14
  island. And let me tell you, the water
• 47:17
  here feels different. Heavy.
• 47:20
  Like something is always watching from below.
• 47:22
  Ive seen the unnatural wake, the sudden
• 47:25
  violent disturbances that can't be explained by
• 47:28
  currents. I haven't seen it yet,
• 47:31
  but I feel it in my bones. You don't spend
• 47:34
  as much time around gaiators as I have and not
• 47:36
  notice these subconscious signs,
• 47:39
  much like you. Hazy. I've always been
• 47:42
  curious about the watery depths and what lies beneath
• 47:45
  them. But things like this make you wader
• 47:48
  what's truly looking beneath the surf, waiting for
• 47:51
  its next meal.
• 47:59
  >> Skylar: And with that, you hand back the totem over to
• 48:02
  Justin, who says, well, geez, you could have
• 48:05
  told me that before I did work on the beach.
• 48:08
  Geez, I don't want to go anywhere near the waters
• 48:10
  now. Big
• 48:13
  gators.
• 48:14
  >> Elizabeth: Who would a guess who's next?
• 48:17
  >> Cameron: Well, was that the story of Big Al? You
• 48:20
  didn't mention Big Al's name once in there. You kept
• 48:23
  call at the gosaur.
• 48:25
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I thought it was just assumed that a big
• 48:28
  gator obviously big it
• 48:31
  fe.
• 48:32
  >> Cameron: And I look out for Big O around these parts.
• 48:34
  >> Skylar: Everyone knows that, obviously gatoraur is
• 48:37
  like his Latin name.
• 48:41
  >> Cameron: Sorry, I don't speak Italian.
• 48:43
  >> Cameron: All right, who's next?
• 48:44
  >> Skylar: Who's telling the Next scary story question.
• 48:47
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Are they ever going toa tell a story?
• 48:49
  >> Skylar: No.
• 48:49
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: So it's just gonna be a stir.
• 48:50
  >> Skylar: Right?
• 48:51
  >> Cameron: Okay. I'm fine. Right.
• 48:52
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Reading the next one since you said Connors is the best one anyways. Well,
• 48:55
  always save the best for a August for sure.
• 48:57
  >> Cameron: It's the longest.
• 48:58
  >> Skylar: Justin. Justin leans over at hands. Martin Fresh
• 49:01
  the o. I think I.
• 49:02
  >> Cameron: M try to turn it one of these spooky stories
• 49:06
  so remman doesn't have any big alligators in
• 49:09
  it. let me think.
• 49:11
  Scary stories. Oh, this one
• 49:14
  time,
• 49:21
  I was hangering for some cereal
• 49:24
  and I went over to the fridge and I opened it up
• 49:27
  and I opened the milk and it smells something
• 49:29
  sour.
• 49:34
  >> Skylar: Everybody just stares at you blankly.
• 49:37
  >> Cameron: It was exp. Expired.
• 49:42
  No, not good enough.
• 49:44
  >> Skylar: Okay,
• 49:44
  >> Cameron: Oh, one time I was shopping at the grocery store
• 49:47
  and I had a whole shopping cart full of
• 49:50
  groceries and knicknags and doodads and
• 49:53
  I runung them up to the counter and she did the order
• 49:56
  273 and IL.
• 49:59
  Well, thank goodness I got my. Oh,
• 50:01
  no, I left my coupon book
• 50:04
  at home.
• 50:10
  >> Skylar: What's a coupon?
• 50:11
  >> Cameron: Okay, still nothing. Jeez.
• 50:13
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: I thought the scary part was just.
• 50:15
  >> Cameron: How expensive the groceries.
• 50:17
  >> Skylar: 200. Yeah, that's true.
• 50:18
  >> Cameron: That is a pretty scary reality we are living
• 50:21
  in. I've got an even scarier
• 50:24
  story.
• 50:28
  So the other day I was sitting there
• 50:31
  looking at my calendar and I got an alert
• 50:34
  that came up April
• 50:37
  10th. I thought, oh, no, I
• 50:40
  haven't done my taxes.
• 50:47
  Still nothing. Oh my word. You got. What
• 50:50
  kind of scary stories do you want? These are
• 50:52
  terrifying. Well, Junior, just oneraid
• 50:55
  different reasons I will say.
• 50:57
  >> Skylar: my parents do my Texas, so I don't really get it.
• 51:00
  >> Cameron: Okay, well, these adults can get it
• 51:03
  27 your stories.
• 51:05
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 51:06
  >> Cameron: And you prob. Okay, stories are really targeted.
• 51:09
  Okay, what kind? One that could scare all of
• 51:11
  us.
• 51:12
  >> Cameron: What. What prey tell is in a scary story
• 51:15
  that would scare all of you.
• 51:17
  >> Cameron: You know, like, you know, ah, a.
• 51:18
  >> Skylar: Spooky monster in the forest or something like that. Like
• 51:21
  who.
• 51:22
  >> Cameron: Where we're at.
• 51:23
  >> Cameron: Well, that reminds me. you see,
• 51:30
  I was out, in a cabin I own out in the
• 51:33
  woods. You know, I go out there every so
• 51:36
  often on the weekend to get away from a. The little
• 51:39
  while from the hustle and bustle of life. You know, I'm
• 51:42
  a. I'm an outdoorsman at heart. But I still like my
• 51:45
  cabin life, you know. So I went out to
• 51:48
  my cabin. A man needs his soul as don't you know,
• 51:51
  and anywho, I was stoking at the fire.
• 51:54
  Well, ham was u. cooking
• 51:57
  away above it. I also had a thing of green beans
• 52:00
  and rice and a cooking pot beside the fire
• 52:03
  as well. So I'm stoking away and that's when I
• 52:06
  hear this burbling sound from outside.
• 52:09
  So, being the inquisitive swordt I am,
• 52:12
  I go to see what's making that sound. So I go to
• 52:15
  the door and open it to take a peek
• 52:18
  outside. On the edge of the tugly wood,
• 52:21
  there it stood. A giant
• 52:24
  beast standing in its oofish
• 52:26
  way. Its large figure standing on
• 52:29
  trunks of muscle with long extending
• 52:32
  claws tapping the ground where it
• 52:34
  stood, claws ready to catch whatever it may
• 52:37
  be. It stood there in its gyre and
• 52:40
  gimbal in a weebble. As my eyes moved
• 52:43
  from its lower to its upper, I saw its
• 52:46
  jaw. A large jaw it be it was snapping at
• 52:49
  the air nineaw at the air which it
• 52:52
  breathed. Oh, ah, those jaws that bite the
• 52:55
  cold, the fumes. Oh, and the
• 52:57
  pho'cascading from the sides of its crooked
• 53:00
  grin. In that moment, truly all
• 53:02
  minsy were begroved. I tell you, I
• 53:05
  looked eyes with that beast and its inner stair
• 53:08
  grew overtaking me. The eyes,
• 53:11
  engulfed in flame, consumed my presence as I
• 53:14
  stood there on the precipice between what I had known
• 53:17
  and what I didn't believe. Oh, the
• 53:19
  mum wrps outgrave me in that moment.
• 53:23
  Then I heard a timer from behind me.
• 53:26
  I went, oh. Realized my hand was done and I went back
• 53:29
  inside the check on it. As I did, I heard the beast
• 53:32
  shuffle way back in the woods. So anywho,
• 53:35
  that's how I met the scru strongest though it could have been a
• 53:38
  rabid bear for all I know. But I still call it Scrunggus.
• 53:43
  >> Skylar: You look over and you see Hazel is furiously
• 53:45
  flipping through a dictionary trying to find all the
• 53:48
  obscure words that you had mentioned throughout your story and find out what they
• 53:51
  mean. Or o crows. Oh, there it is.
• 53:55
  >> Cameron: Why Throwing the Cheshire Cat
• 53:57
  lyrics.
• 53:58
  >> Cameron: What are you talking about?
• 54:00
  >> Cameron: You know was brilling in the
• 54:03
  slimy toes and guy and gimbal in the waves. All
• 54:06
  minzy where the moro groves and the mole rats outgray.
• 54:09
  >> Cameron: Well, that's just how I felt in the moment he
• 54:12
  felt the chesher cat. I don't know. What? No
• 54:14
  schishire cat is old guy.
• 54:17
  >> Skylar: That's Alice in Wonderland, actually.
• 54:19
  >> Cameron: Oh, I remember that story. The Disney
• 54:21
  guy made it.
• 54:24
  I know all about him.
• 54:26
  >> Skylar: I think I get it. Like, you go out into the woods for,
• 54:29
  like, solace and it works on your poetry and stuff like that.
• 54:32
  >> Cameron: Poetry?
• 54:33
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 54:34
  >> Cameron: What are you talking about? What are you I'm talking
• 54:37
  about when the scrungest disrupting my
• 54:39
  habrewing.
• 54:42
  >> Skylar: Justin le for he starts taking the.
• 54:45
  The. The totem. He says, I was that good enough.
• 54:48
  yeah. The scrungest. Okay. Yeah.
• 54:50
  >> Cameron: Well, I'll keep our eyes out there. Scrungus is
• 54:53
  probably as real as big L. Probably
• 54:56
  not. It probably was just a rabid bear, to be
• 54:59
  honest. What?
• 55:00
  >> Skylar: Well, u let's hope it was neither. Okay. U Anyone
• 55:03
  else for a scary story?
• 55:05
  >> Cameron: I guess I'm up.
• 55:06
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay.
• 55:07
  >> Skylar: U yeah, go for it. U So be Joe. Yeah.
• 55:09
  >> Cameron: Yeah. So u as you know, I've told you guys, I'm
• 55:12
  a YouTuber. None of you guys have checked out my channel, though I've
• 55:15
  noticed at they gain
• 55:17
  subscribers.
• 55:18
  >> Cameron: Yeah, the bad signal out here.
• 55:21
  >> Cameron: There's like no signal. Must be that. But, you know, I
• 55:24
  I m. I told you guys I made a viral video a couple years ago.
• 55:27
  >> Skylar: This.
• 55:27
  >> Cameron: So this is the story of that viral video that I
• 55:30
  made that got me.
• 55:32
  >> Cameron: Did you make that m Neon. Neon
• 55:34
  cat video?
• 55:35
  >> Skylar: The rules. You're breaking the rules.
• 55:37
  >> Cameron: What rule?
• 55:38
  >> Skylar: He's got the totem.
• 55:39
  >> Cameron: Well, I, have questions. Can see one us these he said
• 55:41
  viral video.
• 55:42
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 55:43
  >> Cameron: Were you the one that bit David's finger?
• 55:45
  >> Cameron: No, that was Charlie, though.
• 55:48
  >> Skylar: Charlie bit the finger. All right, no more interruptions.
• 55:51
  All right. So.
• 55:59
  >> Cameron: I know we haven't known each other that long, but you know, the main thing you
• 56:02
  guys should know about me? You should know about it. You should know this
• 56:05
  about me. Yet by this point, I'm all into the weird stuff, right?
• 56:08
  Know cryptozoology, unexplained
• 56:11
  phenomena.
• 56:12
  >> Skylar: Bigfoot.
• 56:14
  >> Cameron: yeah, I'm a believer. Always have been. Even more
• 56:17
  so now because a few months back, a few years back,
• 56:20
  I finally got a crew together. Three other hardcore
• 56:23
  squatch heads and we were headed up to the Redwood
• 56:25
  National Park. And we were determined to find proof.
• 56:28
  Not some blurry photo that was taken
• 56:31
  like with a potato. Proof
• 56:34
  of Bigfoot. So we spent the day out there
• 56:37
  hiking through the giant trees that kind of make you
• 56:40
  feel tiny. We had some pretty old, pretty solid
• 56:42
  equipment, which is pretty dope, honestly. Thermal cameras and
• 56:45
  all that. We were even setting a bait, you know. So the whole nine
• 56:48
  yards, we heard things.
• 56:50
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: Sure.
• 56:50
  >> Cameron: Like branches snapping, like weird howls that echoed
• 56:53
  through the forest, but nothing really concrete. We were starting to
• 56:56
  get a little discouraged, to be honest. but then that
• 56:59
  evening, Just as the sun was starting
• 57:02
  to dip below the tree line, we
• 57:04
  saw it moving through the trees, Like a
• 57:07
  hundred yards away from us. It's huge, Covered in dark
• 57:10
  fur. Smelled like an old tuna
• 57:13
  cannon.
• 57:14
  >> Skylar: Feet.
• 57:14
  >> Cameron: We knew this was bigfoot.
• 57:17
  My buddy mark, he had the good camera. So we started
• 57:19
  filming. His hand was shaking so bad. We could see it was all
• 57:22
  jerky, but you could see it clear as day.
• 57:25
  The huge ape like creature Walking through the
• 57:28
  forest like it owned the place. It glanced our way for a
• 57:31
  split second, and I swear, his eyes, they.
• 57:33
  >> Elizabeth: Didn'T just see us.
• 57:34
  >> Cameron: It was like you could see the thoughts shooting through
• 57:37
  his brain, like there was intellect there,
• 57:40
  Human intelligence. He just stood there,
• 57:43
  analyzing us, Watching us, I guess, Trying to decide
• 57:46
  what to do next. Anyways, needless to say, we
• 57:49
  were ecstatic. We had done it. We'd
• 57:52
  finally found proof of bigfoot.
• 57:54
  Everything in our power, we were doing it not to burst
• 57:57
  out Just like ecstatically. And then the
• 58:00
  creature just stood there. Its gaze was fixed on our
• 58:03
  little group. And then it let out this sound. Not like a roar.
• 58:06
  It was
• 58:10
  not even a howl. It was like a lament. A
• 58:12
  deep, guttural sound that vibrated in your chest.
• 58:16
  Really made the hairs on my arms stand on. And it
• 58:18
  sounded almost like it was in pain. And
• 58:21
  we start to hear movement in the trees all around us.
• 58:24
  Not just branches snapping. It was heavy
• 58:27
  footsteps, Things rustling in the
• 58:30
  undergrowth. We had no idea what it was, but
• 58:33
  it was big. And there were many of them,
• 58:36
  probably more bigfoots, Big feats,
• 58:39
  Sasquatches, whatever. There was
• 58:42
  something coming at us, and that's all we knew. We
• 58:45
  tried to get out of there, but it was like we were surrounded.
• 58:48
  The fog started to roll in super thick and fast,
• 58:51
  and we ended up getting separated. I'm huffing and
• 58:54
  puffing, Just trying to keep moving and telling my heart and
• 58:57
  lungs that you just gotta keep up. I run a mile
• 59:00
  before I start to slow down. And I didn't even stop moving. Every
• 59:03
  time I exhaled, I was calling out for mark,
• 59:05
  Sarah, or dale. But the only answer I got Was
• 59:08
  that sound echoing through the trees. And
• 59:11
  I managed to stumble my way out of the woods Just as the sun
• 59:14
  was starting to rise, Half starved and terrified.
• 59:17
  But I can't describe how much. My calves were on fire,
• 59:20
  too. I drove back to the motel in the town
• 59:23
  nearby. I locked every lock in the door and
• 59:25
  barricaded it with the extra bed. I couldn't even shower
• 59:28
  without the Door being open, and even then I had to hop out every time
• 59:31
  I heard a noise. Eventually, curiosity got the
• 59:34
  best of me, and when Mark had panicked back in the forest,
• 59:37
  he dropped the camera. I'not really sure what compelled
• 59:40
  me to do this, but I grabbed it before I ran off.
• 59:43
  And some kind of desire to torture myself further
• 59:46
  pushed me to open up the files. The footage
• 59:49
  was incredible. The camera's internal shake
• 59:52
  absorption really cleared things up. And Mark got
• 59:55
  himself a top of the lineion piece when he bought it.
• 59:58
  My stomach sank, though, as I heard that sound again, that low
• 1:00:01
  bellow that the Bigfoot let out. I felt
• 1:00:03
  nauseous, but I plugged through the hopes of catching a
• 1:00:06
  glimpse of anything that could offer some hint of where the
• 1:00:09
  others went and what happened to them. But it was pretty much
• 1:00:12
  just footage of me picking up the camera and rushing
• 1:00:15
  around before it. Tapping the record button and editing the video.
• 1:00:18
  I decided to upload it. You might have seen it. that's
• 1:00:21
  my viral video. The one where Bigfoot looks right at the
• 1:00:24
  camera. It went viral and people said it was the
• 1:00:27
  best Bigfoot footage they'd ever seen. That
• 1:00:30
  was us. That was my team. I guess it was mainly
• 1:00:33
  Mark. I figured there's no need for the footage to go to
• 1:00:35
  waste, you know, since people went missing trying to get
• 1:00:38
  it. As far as I know, Mark, Sarah and old Dale
• 1:00:41
  never came out of those woods. They just
• 1:00:44
  vanished. No trace. Park rangers searched
• 1:00:47
  for weeks, but they found nothing. Sometimes, late at night
• 1:00:49
  when a wind howls through the trees, I can hear that sound
• 1:00:53
  again, that deep cry. And I can't
• 1:00:55
  help but wonder, what did we stumble into out there?
• 1:00:58
  And what price to my friends pay for that
• 1:01:01
  discovery?
• 1:01:02
  >> Fatty Lumpkins: You sound awfully nonchalant about watching your
• 1:01:05
  friends die.
• 1:01:06
  >> Cameron: We don't know if they died. I am holding out hope
• 1:01:09
  that they'still out there.
• 1:01:11
  >> Skylar: As you're saying this, you suddenly feel
• 1:01:14
  the totem in your hands start to kind of
• 1:01:17
  vibrate almost and shake. And you watch
• 1:01:20
  as it starts to glow like a light literally starts
• 1:01:23
  to come off of it. And in the
• 1:01:26
  distance towards the forest, you
• 1:01:28
  swear you hear that same
• 1:01:31
  lonesome moan erupt
• 1:01:34
  from above the trees. And you all turn
• 1:01:37
  to look, because you all hear it. And standing
• 1:01:40
  about 100 yards away from you
• 1:01:43
  is the scrungest.
• 1:01:48
  And with that, we will close out the first episod

  >> Elizabeth: Domini 1585
• 1:02:06
  Elizabeth my patient. Love
• 1:02:09
  the folly of these so called leaders. Here
• 1:02:12
  is enough to curdle the very milk in a
• 1:02:15
  bab'mouth we are now settled on
• 1:02:18
  this Robooke Island, a patch of land,
• 1:02:21
  wind swept and teeming with little more than trees
• 1:02:24
  and buzzing insects.
• 1:02:26
  And what foresight did our esteemed sir, Richard Grenville possess
• 1:02:29
  in bringing us here? Precious little, it
• 1:02:32
  seems. The stores are
• 1:02:35
  dwindling faster than ale at a tavern on market
• 1:02:38
  day. One would think a man entrusted with such
• 1:02:41
  a venture would have the sen to ensure we were
• 1:02:43
  adequately provisioned.
• 1:02:45
  >> Skylar: But no.
• 1:02:46
  >> Elizabeth: Now the great sir, Richard, in his infinite wisdom,
• 1:02:49
  or utter lack thereof, has decided the only course
• 1:02:52
  of action is to return to England for more supplies.
• 1:02:55
  To England, Elizabeth. Leaving us
• 1:02:58
  here, a handful of souls in this wild,
• 1:03:01
  untamed land, vulnerable to God knows
• 1:03:04
  what. He
• 1:03:07
  speaks of a swift return. But I tell you, the man is an
• 1:03:10
  utter fool. He struts about
• 1:03:13
  like a peacock one moment and then abandons us like
• 1:03:15
  unwanted pups the next. Does
• 1:03:18
  he not see the risk he places us in?
• 1:03:21
  The natives, though seemingly docile now,
• 1:03:24
  surely harbour resentment after his
• 1:03:27
  handling of the silver got affair.
• 1:03:31
  We are sitting ducks. And his
• 1:03:34
  reasoning? To sail all the way back across the
• 1:03:36
  treacherous ocean, risking storms and Spanish
• 1:03:39
  dogs, when the solution lies practically at our
• 1:03:42
  feet. These locals.
• 1:03:45
  These locals, they have their own
• 1:03:48
  stores, their own ways of sustaining themselves.
• 1:03:51
  Why not simply take what we need? They
• 1:03:54
  are but savages, Elizabeth. What right have they
• 1:03:57
  to hoard resources while Englishmen starve?
• 1:04:01
  But no, Grenville, in his misplaced
• 1:04:04
  sense of honor, or perhaps just plain
• 1:04:06
  cowardice, forbids such a sensible
• 1:04:09
  action. He pratters on about
• 1:04:11
  diplomacy and peaceful coexistence. the
• 1:04:14
  man is an utter simpleton. He has placed
• 1:04:17
  us all in grave peril with his incompetence and his
• 1:04:20
  lily livid approach. May God have mercy on
• 1:04:23
  us, for Grenville certainly will not.
• 1:04:27
  I can only pray that his abseinence is brief,
• 1:04:30
  though I hold little hope. We
• 1:04:32
  must fend for ourselves as best we can in his monumental
• 1:04:35
  oversight. Write to me as soon as a ship
• 1:04:38
  makes its way back to these forsaken shores.
• 1:04:41
  Yours in growing frustration and concern,
• 1:04:44
  Richard.
