  up to speed.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah?
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: I guess I shall... Go for it.
• 2:01
  Last week we visited the past to see how Jacob and Robin are
• 2:13
  met for the very first time.
• 2:16
  and that was in a random music shop in Vegas while they were
• 2:23
  perusing for whatever
• 2:25
  inside they oversaw slash overheard some issues going on with
• 2:33
  the owner who is
• 2:36
  secretly a kindred who put that display in front of anyone in
• 2:42
  that shop because we
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: saw
• 2:46
  we got forcibly dragged to go play for them and that if we did
• 2:54
  not it would most
• 2:54
  likely have been our life on the line instead so they had a few
• 3:00
  hours to practice
• 3:01
  before without having a drummer it was a bit questionable but
• 3:10
  after a few hours
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: they got something got partially worked
• 3:16
  but there's something clearly missing but it's the best what
• 3:19
  they can do for two
• 3:20
  random strangers so they went to go play first they met some
• 3:26
  interesting characters
• 3:28
  I can say that first attempt to decide if they are allowed to
• 3:36
  play in front of
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: people did not go that well second attempt it went good enough so they
• 3:46
  they end up playing before that they saw one of the Vegas Strip
• 3:54
  holders BIM!
• 4:00
  something I suppose is the best way to describe it um I mean
• 4:09
  they were there they were uh
• 4:15
  the second time was better and but was it good enough to play
• 4:25
  at one of the casinos
• 4:27
  in like full view of people well obviously not considering that
• 4:35
  you got run out
• 4:36
  right afterwards anyway was anyone to give the explanation to
• 4:40
  what happened the
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_00: first session we had
• 4:44
  even though I feel like we all know what happened oh god um I
• 4:53
  want to remember yeah
• 4:55
  cliff notes um after being run out of Vegas they um Jacob and
• 5:04
  Logan catch a ride in
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_03: Robin's van for a while and once it goes near empty they stop in a
• 5:13
  small town um uh and sorry um what was it and wheeled the car
• 5:27
  Logan flirts with a
• 5:30
  McDonald's employee we wheeled the van over to a mechanic shop
• 5:35
  and and we got a
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_03: loan essentially to
• 5:43
  pulled over to the local like bar to play for them and
• 5:48
  hopefully make some money we
• 5:50
  absolutely rock it and afterwards we well I say we but we take
• 6:00
  some people back to
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_03: a motel um Jacob eats the guy drains him dry uh um
• 6:13
  and we have the rats eat him and then because because Robin
• 6:22
  used her off-spec her
• 6:24
  abilities her third eye begins leaking and finally and uh it
• 6:30
  gets Logan a little uh
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_03: forked up so to say and almost eats me uh
• 6:43
  Then we...
• 6:48
  have her calm down with Jacob,
• 6:51
  like,
• 6:51
  cleaning her some of his blood.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_03: And then... Robin goes to stake her.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_01: So... Logan is staked by Robin for... well, eating her.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_01: Somewhat.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_01: And now...
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_01: Princess Dartmouth is up and upset.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_01: And Jacob, you are staring down Robin.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_01: That's the very last thing that happened.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_01: That's a wild series of events for episode one.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_01: But I'm about it.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: Full on.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_01: We're going to pick up at that exact spot.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_01: Like right there.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_01: You two are staring each other face off.
• 7:43
  please take it away Ross has after Robin inserts the stake she
• 7:53
  backs up and she
• 7:56
  kind of staggers a bit because she's still a bit lethargic and
• 8:00
  feels like complete
• 8:03
  shit to say the least she's holding onto her neck and just
• 8:08
  feeling it as you see as
• 8:12
  Jacob sees this some of her bangs like fall to the wayside as
• 8:17
  they got completely
• 8:18
  messed up and you can kind of see from under the shadows of it
• 8:24
  something staring at
• 8:25
  him something that's leaking blood yeah as you stagger back
• 8:32
  Jacob would kind of
• 8:34
  would forcefully push you to the ground what the fuck was all
• 8:38
  that I got her off
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_00: you and you started to stake her
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_00: She tried to eat me!
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_00: And I got the situation under wraps.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_03: You don't understand.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_03: You don't understand.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_03: You don't understand how big of a fucking deal this is.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_03: You can't... Oh god.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_03: This isn't something you can just laugh off.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_03: This is a... How the fuck... Oh god.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_03: He just kind of like tries to scoot away a bit Yeah,
• 9:18
  Jacob's kind of pacing back and forth Trying to run through
• 9:22
  everything through his
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_00: head Can you explain why so much of an issue?
• 9:28
  Yes,
• 9:28
  I understand,
• 9:29
  blood bonding is an issue It's not an issue Then what is?
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_03: As she kind of bares her fangs,
• 9:44
  she grabs a clump of her bangs and then rips it up to give him
• 9:49
  a full view of her
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_03: third eye.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_03: It's not pretty.
• 9:57
  If you've ever seen someone who hasn't slept for a week or
• 10:05
  something and how their
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_03: eyes are sunken in,
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_03: that's what it looks like.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_03: and the corners of it are just eeping blood over and over again.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_03: This is why.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_01: Jacob, I need a dice pool from you.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna need, I think, intelligence and...
• 10:42
  cult I know I don't think you have much in either but you're
• 10:50
  not like an elder
• 10:52
  kindred by any means of the word and knowing what she is might
• 10:59
  not come like
• 11:02
  organically to him you know what I mean is there a difficulty
• 11:10
  I'm gonna call it a
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_01: difficulty to
• 11:13
  one success one success you've there's not any maybe you don't
• 11:23
  know the lore or
• 11:24
  what the situation is about her entirely with one success I
• 11:29
  would say that you
• 11:32
  might have heard rumors at best about kindred with a third eye
• 11:38
  but the finer
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_01: details of it all
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_01: Don't register.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_01: It's one of those things that you hear in passing,
• 11:46
  like you might have been at a kindred bar somewhere and they
• 11:50
  mentioned something
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_01: like this,
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_01: but none of it really adds up to why it's such a catastrophic problem.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_00: So what?
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_00: You have a third eye.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: You have a masquerade breach.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: How is them biting you so much more of a deal than anything else?
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_03: Oh my god, do I have to explain everything to you?
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 12:17
  Fuck.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_00: Fuck, how do I explain this?
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_00: So...
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: You...
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_03: You...
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_03: You mentioned,
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_03: like,
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_03: offhand you were...
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_03: Well,
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_03: it was...
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_03: Rab...
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_03: Rab...
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_03: Rab something.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_03: I...
• 12:35
  I know...
• 12:36
  And how you can,
• 12:37
  like,
• 12:37
  can't sleep in the same place for more than one time.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah?
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah?
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_03: That's your deal.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_03: My deal is that my blood tastes fucking amazing, apparently.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_03: And if anyone decides to try and drink me, they can't stop.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_01: Speaking of which, Jacob, I need a dice pool from you.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_01: You do?
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: I do.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: You're hot and good too.
• 13:10
  uh I need a composure and resolve check for me because now that
• 13:16
  she's mentioned it
• 13:18
  um you might have been in some sort of blistering rage before
• 13:21
  uh considering that
• 13:23
  she just stayed Logan but now that she's mentioned the
• 13:28
  delicious blood the beast
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_01: registers that and I'm gonna need some dice is there a difficulty
• 13:37
  um because normally for this situation it's a difficulty four
• 13:42
  but because you're in
• 13:43
  some state of mind right now I'm gonna call it difficulty
• 13:46
  three-year-old because
• 13:47
  it's difficult to focus or your beast to focus on that while
• 13:50
  you are so bent out of
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_01: shape and maybe worried about Logan.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_00: Free successes.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_01: Free successes is enough.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_01: It is
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_01: Wonderful.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_01: You can smell it.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my goodness.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_01: Nothing could ever be this good.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_01: That's crazy.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_01: However, you're in control.
• 14:12
  And maybe the bigger priority is figuring this out and then
• 14:16
  deciding what to do
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: about her,
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_01: considering Logan is a state.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_00: Look, whatever this issue is, we'll resolve it later.
• 14:32
  I don't want to be stuck in this place you're the one with the
• 14:37
  car you can drop us
• 14:39
  off wherever the fuck you like later I'm going to take the
• 14:45
  stake out you can take
• 14:47
  the spare room and I'll keep my eye on her kind of quiet for a
• 14:52
  moment she she
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_03: doesn't even know what to think right now
• 15:01
  she hasn't talked to someone like this in god who knows how
• 15:08
  many years she doesn't
• 15:11
  really know what to do in this situation so with that she like
• 15:18
  one of the one of
• 15:21
  her third eye is like locked onto you but her normal ones look
• 15:27
  off to the side as
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_03: she thinks sigh
• 15:32
  Fine Fine I just needed her I needed assurance that he'd stop
• 15:44
  and that you could be
• 15:45
  here to listen I got her off you and you still decided to stake
• 15:51
  her I was dealing
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_03: with the issue Do you think I could know that?
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_03: How am I supposed to know that he won't just go back to it?
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_03: He already got into a frenzy.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_03: I just needed assurance.
• 16:12
  I've dealt with this enough times to know that letting this go
• 16:17
  isn't an option.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_01: Logan.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: You can hear all of this.
• 16:32
  I think Logan is currently slumped up against a tree,
• 16:37
  paralyzed eyes open.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_00: You can see all this.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_00: Talk to me.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_01: What's going through Logan's mind right now?
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_02: I think the self-pity she was feeling about hurting Robin
• 17:03
  is like just slightly overrun by the fact that there's a stake
• 17:08
  in her chest and it
• 17:09
  hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts you know it's just this very
• 17:16
  her focus has been
• 17:17
  entirely driven to the pain and these they keep talking and
• 17:24
  they're talking about
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_02: her and
• 17:27
  she's trying to focus on it but there's like there's a pain
• 17:30
  there she has something
• 17:31
  inside of her and it's not comfortable and it's sore and she
• 17:35
  wants it out I like
• 17:38
  that quite a bit Jacob Robin what happens now look I'm going to
• 17:50
  unstake her now go
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_00: to whichever room
• 17:55
  we'll go to the opposite one I am able to satiate that hunger I
• 18:01
  am taking I've been
• 18:03
  doing this for plenty of time now Just kind of styling it in a
• 18:08
  moment as she like
• 18:09
  digs for digs in her pockets for a cigarette she stole a while
• 18:16
  ago and lights it
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_03: she sighs as she lets out some of the smoke
• 18:25
  Okay Okay I I'm sorry I didn't I didn't want it to come to this

• 18:59
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to go take the room that the guy died in.
• 19:04

• 19:17
  SPEAKER_00: And Jacob is going to be walking over towards Logan.

• 19:32
  SPEAKER_03: look of what have I done?

  Jacob you're the
• 21:40
  best And then she'll like tenderly take Jacob's hand You know
• 21:47
  to get helped up Yeah
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_00: Jacob would
• 21:52
  Logan up and start to walk to the room to the opposite room
• 21:58
  where the murder took
• 21:59
  place throwing the steak off to the sides Logan you are very
• 22:11
  very hungry I think
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_02: that after slaking some from
• 22:22
  what's it from Robin Robin and from Jacob I'm at hunger too
• 22:32
  well you had a stake in
• 22:34
  your chest and then yanked back out oh so should I rouse the
• 22:39
  what I did is I took
• 22:41
  three superficial health damage should I rouse the blood to
• 22:45
  heal that up before we
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_01: get into a public so here's how like stake going in
• 22:52
  uh you won't you can remove the superficial and instead go back
• 22:57
  up in hunger that's
• 22:58
  what this is gonna do pulling it out is gonna drive hunger
• 23:02
  rather than pain or
• 23:03
  rather than also superficial damage it still hurts right to
• 23:07
  pull it back out yeah
• 23:08
  but mechanically speaking it's hunger okay um Jacob are we are
• 23:19
  we gonna be okay
• 23:22
  Food's like scarce and I'm always feeling for meal meals it's
• 23:27
  like I just feel bad
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_00: You've gotten this for haven't you?
• 23:35
  I guess Let me worry about how I get my meals I won't be doing
• 23:48
  this if I didn't
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_00: want you around or anything
• 23:53
  So just trust me Okay You know I'd kill for you I know I would
• 24:03
  say likewise But we
• 24:06
  know that is not the most effective thing in my use case Do you
• 24:14
  allow Logan to feed
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_01: from you to satiate this boiling hunger she might have?
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, when we get back up to the room, she would.
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_01: You guys make your way back.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_00: Can I say something?
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_03: Robin's obviously in her room already,
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_03: but I think before she,
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_03: like,
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_03: goes to bed,
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_03: I think she's gonna take off her,
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_03: like,
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_03: elastic belt and leave it on the bed of their guys' room.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_03: Like,
• 24:51
  take out like the like little hotel like post-it note that they
• 24:56
  that those usually
• 24:57
  have and write down it should keep pressure on it sorry sorry
• 25:05
  and just go to and
• 25:06
  then just completely wrap herself in blankets excellent we'll
• 25:13
  come back because I
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_01: want to see about Robin but as the two of you make your way
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_01: back to the room.
• 25:21
  You know,
• 25:22
  maybe,
• 25:25
  Jacob,
• 25:25
  you propping up Logan,
• 25:27
  you make your way back into the other room.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_01: There's the post-it note on the bed that says, keep some pressure on it.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry,
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_01: R.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_01: You see this note,
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_01: you're in this room,
• 25:41
  SPEAKER_01: you've got a steak in your chest and you're hungry.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_01: It's a quiet moment between the two of you laced with stress,
• 25:51
  pain it's a chance to to call it reinvigorate the bond between
• 25:58
  the two of you how
• 26:00
  much do you allow Logan to slake or Logan can you stop is kind
• 26:08
  of where we go with
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_02: that okay um Logan's they've got a system so it's you know it's
• 26:20
  Jacob signals oh you know it's done like two taps or something
• 26:25
  and then Logan pulls
• 26:26
  off or Princess goes for it if it gets frantic if it gets a
• 26:33
  little frantic but she
• 26:36
  leaves she leaves the like how much am I allowed to Jacob yeah
• 26:42
  he would let you
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_00: select two maximum in this moment okay
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_00: two.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_01: As you go to feed,
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_01: however,
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_01: the two of you do,
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_01: I would like you to describe to me how this process works.
• 27:04
  And then,
• 27:05
  Logan,
• 27:06
  I'd like a composure resolve check from you at a difficulty of
• 27:10
  two.
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_00: OK. Yeah, Jacob will
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_00: would take a seat on the bed,
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_00: roll up his jacket so his forearm is revealed,
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_00: and kind of initially hold it off to the side to let Logan feed.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_00: And he would gently embrace her into a hug until he knows two signals.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_02: What was the difficulty we said?
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_02: Two.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I got that.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Logan sort of settles into that position.
• 28:02
  I think Princess lies down somewhere just keeping ears up,
• 28:10
  eyes on the sort of procession.
• 28:16
  I like it as Logan your hunger comes down Jacob I would say
• 28:26
  that you guys have a a
• 28:28
  system right where rather than take damage Jacob you do grow in
• 28:35
  hunger I see you've
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_01: already done that yes very good
• 28:40
  As you two kind of sit there and have this moment where you
• 28:45
  feed from one another
• 28:46
  the whole situation has gone from like messy to like things
• 28:55
  started to come up back
• 28:57
  down to could this be any worse right do either of you you know
• 29:07
  as you sit there
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_01: and you feed
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_01: Did both of you,
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_01: either of you,
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_01: one or more,
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_01: what do you think are the next best steps for the group?
• 29:18
  SPEAKER_01: Jacob, you're the vocalist, the seemingly face of the band.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_01: I want to know what he thinks.
• 29:25
  SPEAKER_00: This is all fucked, even compared to being ran out of a city.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_00: He's very unsure if Robin is staying.
• 29:40
  But he just wants to be more in a prevalent city if they are
• 29:45
  going different ways.
• 29:47
  SPEAKER_00: That makes sense.
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_00: What about you, Logan?
• 29:56
  Logan is thinking about what she can do to prevent it from
• 30:01
  happening next time.
• 30:03
  SPEAKER_02: The first thing that came to mind for her was oh, I'm gonna get
• 30:08
  I'm gonna get some really really nice duds for um some really
• 30:15
  nice duds for oh my
• 30:18
  god for Robin so that like she has like maybe a fat leather
• 30:23
  choker with studs on it
• 30:25
  and like some van braces or something some leather van braces
• 30:29
  stuff that looks
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_02: really cool really punk very rocker but it's also like hey
• 30:36
  she has some protective goods I'm really sorry I ate you you
• 30:40
  know that sort of
• 30:41
  thing so she's like I think she's actually got like her phone
• 30:46
  open like looking
• 30:48
  through take a lot seeing if they deliver by today and seeing
• 30:52
  that no this is a
• 30:53
  tiny little town oh you guys don't have take a lot she's on
• 30:58
  Amazon looking for like
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_02: one day deliveries to see if

  They'll like be able to get here And she sees that no this is a
• 31:11
  one horse town It's
• 31:12
  not gonna happen Yeah Yeah I like that I like that thought
• 31:19
  process Maybe try to
• 31:21
  patch it up a little bit As you two Settle in Robin you are in
• 31:29
  the other room You
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_01: can smell Some of the lingering blood And
• 31:37
  you're wrapped up in these blankets you've been attacked these
• 31:46
  people that you
• 31:47
  barely know have killed someone there will be repercussions and
• 31:53
  you of all kindred
• 31:55
  considering what you are would know that right this stuff
• 32:00
  follows you whether it's
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_01: you know
• 32:03
  something tangible or if it's emotional or spiritual whatever
• 32:07
  the case may be these
• 32:09
  things tend to linger tell us what's going on with Robin as she
• 32:15
  lays in this
• 32:15
  blanket cocoon as she pretty much wraps her up herself up and
• 32:22
  like lays in a fetal
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_03: position she kind of like stares at the wall obviously she
• 32:32
  she's been through this regular role more than once well not
• 32:35
  exactly this but she's
• 32:38
  had people try to eat her she's had to fight to survive and
• 32:44
  she's used to being
• 32:45
  alone and running away from this and obviously that's what she
• 32:52
  wants to do yeah
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_03: yeah yeah that's what but like there's this weird feeling
• 33:00
  She can't quite put a word to it She hasn't felt like this
• 33:08
  since some unfavorable
• 33:11
  times back when she was mortal A desire to not be alone She
• 33:28
  doesn't know what to do
• 33:28
  SPEAKER_03: with this
• 33:30
  she doesn't know what to do with any of this she just hurts
• 33:38
  hearing what Logan was
• 33:41
  saying back there about everything about here almost like
• 33:50
  smelling the blood from
• 33:51
  SPEAKER_03: behind the other wall like she and she feels like
• 34:01
  she's supposed to not this isn't what she's supposed to be
• 34:04
  feeling and yet that
• 34:09
  aching just hurts and she just doesn't want to be alone again
• 34:17
  yeah I mean it's
• 34:22

• 34:28
  a lot it's it's
• 34:30
  SPEAKER_01: almost
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_01: too much.

  and Princess will,
• 39:48
  Princess will make sure,
• 39:49
  won't you Princess?
• 39:50
  I say that using feral whispers because you can use it for free
• 39:53

• 39:55
  so...
• 39:57
  SPEAKER_02: Like, straight up full communication, weren't you, princess?
• 40:03
  SPEAKER_01: There's an affirmative,
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_01: but there's like,
• 40:06
  SPEAKER_01: as maybe you go to walk away to check on it,
• 40:09
  SPEAKER_01: she growls menacingly at Robin.
• 40:15
  Robin just kind of like,
• 40:17
  eyes,
• 40:18
  not getting,
• 40:20
  not making eye contact with Logan.
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_01: You two will have to hash that out at some point.
• 40:26
  SPEAKER_01: However...
• 40:28
  it's time to find some food now again this is a small town it's
• 40:36
  about six so there
• 40:40
  are more people out and about it sits no city you know there
• 40:44
  are cars passing on
• 40:45
  the road every you know few minutes or so one might pass the
• 40:49
  motel still doesn't
• 40:50
  have many people in it but there are things nearby you said
• 40:53
  here the gas station is
• 40:54
  SPEAKER_01: not too far
• 40:57
  you've got you know a couple of stores that are now open the
• 41:03
  Raven's Nest is it's
• 41:05
  not very far you can see it you know within a few blocks but
• 41:09
  you did drive here
• 41:11
  which took no time at all but it will take you a few minutes to
• 41:13
  walk over there
• 41:15
  what do you guys want to do do you want to work together to
• 41:18
  maybe find something to
• 41:19
  eat Jacob you have a unique way of feeding but Robin you tend
• 41:24
  to just gag people in
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_01: an alley
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_01: How do you guys want to go about this?
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_00: If there's a pub that is closer, he's just going to go there.
• 41:33
  But if Raven's Nest is the closest thing of the sorts where
• 41:39
  there'll be drunkards,
• 41:41
  SPEAKER_00: he would just go there instead.
• 41:44
  SPEAKER_01: Raven's Nest is the closest.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_01: It's a little early for there to be, like, extra drunkards there.
• 41:51
  but we might find something good Robin are you going with or
• 41:55
  are you headed in your
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_01: own direction to find something to eat?
• 42:01
  She goes with Jacob more just partially because she is still
• 42:08
  too wary of being too
• 42:10
  SPEAKER_03: spread out and partially because drunkards are just easy targets Yeah
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_01: You two,
• 42:20
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 42:20
  SPEAKER_01: walk down to the raven's nest,
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_01: much closer to the sahini,
• 42:24
  SPEAKER_01: or to where you guys were parting ways.
• 42:27
  Logan,
• 42:28
  you go to the back of the motel where you left Chad and or
• 42:35
  what's left of him.
• 42:38
  SPEAKER_01: Give me a dice pool of your wits and investigation.
• 42:46
  SPEAKER_01: Nope.
• 42:47
  SPEAKER_01: Real.
• 42:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 42:49
  uh I think that's it's really all I got here for you um can I
• 42:55
  have princess doing
• 42:57
  that especially because um she's gonna look but princess is the
• 43:02
  one who's gonna
• 43:02
  find anything yes I have to pull up the thing for uh it's four
• 43:12
  for princess and
• 43:13
  SPEAKER_02: it's two for go ahead and roll four price for princess
• 43:20
  uh that's one success for Logan and that's two successes from
• 43:27
  Princess okay I gotta
• 43:31
  find a thing for Princess but I'll do that in a moment you come
• 43:36
  back you know with
• 43:37
  your one success uh you see the basic things the things that
• 43:41
  you you know happened
• 43:42
  SPEAKER_01: right you left him here you called some rats you're looking around
• 43:46
  and even with one success alone you can see that this is a mess
• 43:54
  like a bunch of
• 43:55
  rats coming and tearing a part of corpse leaves blood well not
• 44:01
  blood because there
• 44:02
  was none left but it leaves parts right uh there are bits and
• 44:11
  pieces everywhere
• 44:15
  it's nothing that at a glance something it might look like
• 44:23
  maybe a coyote came and
• 44:27
  SPEAKER_01: caught something and maybe a pack of them tore it apart
• 44:33
  with two successes from Princess she's like sniffing around and
• 44:36
  you can see that
• 44:37
  like she's not it's not just local right that these little bits
• 44:42
  and pieces she's
• 44:42
  SPEAKER_01: like sniffing around and it follows a trail that leads way out into the
• 44:48
  salt marshes right just a little bit here a piece of eyeball
• 44:52
  there a piece of gut
• 44:54
  whatever the case may be all these little like bits and pieces
• 44:58
  get strung along
• 44:59
  from a group of well rats who tore apart a person and ate him
• 45:04
  and left with the
• 45:05
  bits bury them hide them feed them to their young they didn't
• 45:10
  take everything they
• 45:11
  SPEAKER_02: left some
• 45:14
  in the sense that all the big pieces everything that all of
• 45:18
  that is gone so what I
• 45:20
  mean by it is very like minuscule pieces are left behind okay
• 45:27
  scraps this scraps
• 45:29
  SPEAKER_02: okay of any rats around like picking through them
• 45:34
  probably not I mean you called them they came they have the
• 45:38
  feast of like a human
• 45:40
  being so there you could call some maybe one or two might come
• 45:45
  that might be you
• 45:45
  know scavenging for a little bit left but I'm gonna ask for a
• 45:50
  dice pool for that um
• 45:54
  SPEAKER_02: if it if it's like unclear that this used to be what's his face oh wait
• 46:03
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, that's a good idea.
• 46:05
  SPEAKER_00: You could always put a different animal.
• 46:07
  SPEAKER_02: It doesn't have to be rats.
• 46:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm thinking that.
• 46:11
  I'm thinking...
• 46:12
  At a glance,
• 46:13
  it looks like maybe something ate something else.
• 46:17
  SPEAKER_01: It would be with somebody...
• 46:20
  SPEAKER_01: who could investigate the situation and understand forensics,
• 46:24
  SPEAKER_01: they'd probably be able to parse out what is going on here.
• 46:27
  SPEAKER_01: But if no one comes taking a look and it's just,
• 46:30
  SPEAKER_01: oh,
• 46:30
  SPEAKER_01: something ain't something back there,
• 46:32
  SPEAKER_01: that's probably all it is.
• 46:34
  SPEAKER_02: So, like, there's no full skeleton or anything, there's no jaw, no
• 46:39
  SPEAKER_01: dental records.
• 46:40
  SPEAKER_01: None of that.
• 46:42
  SPEAKER_01: But someone who could investigate,
• 46:45
  SPEAKER_01: maybe the sheriff,
• 46:46
  SPEAKER_01: might be able to,
• 46:47
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 46:48
  SPEAKER_01: spend some time and figure out what happened,
• 46:50
  SPEAKER_01: kind of thing.
• 46:51
  SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
• 46:52
  But,
• 46:52
  like,
• 46:52
  if the clerk came around,
• 46:54
  she's like,
• 46:54
  ah,
• 46:54
  something must have ate something.
• 46:57
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 46:58
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, cool.
• 47:00
  SPEAKER_02: I think... Oh, this is tricky.
• 47:05
  SPEAKER_02: It is...
• 47:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah,
• 47:09
  SPEAKER_02: I think that's good enough for Logan,
• 47:13
  SPEAKER_02: is that this is days worth of work,
• 47:17
  SPEAKER_02: and if it isn't discovered immediately,
• 47:19
  SPEAKER_02: the little bits and scraps will probably rot away.
• 47:22
  SPEAKER_02: So it's not going to come back to bite them any time soon.
• 47:29
  SPEAKER_02: This is no longer a masquerade breach,
• 47:31
  SPEAKER_02: is what it feels like,
• 47:34
  SPEAKER_02: because there's no bloodless corpse in there.
• 47:39
  SPEAKER_01: With one success, that's absolutely what it seems like.
• 47:42
  SPEAKER_01: 100%.
• 47:43
  SPEAKER_01: This looks like a good job.
• 47:46
  SPEAKER_01: No questions asked.
• 47:48
  SPEAKER_02: I mean,
• 47:49
  SPEAKER_02: she's got the feral whispers up and she'll just ask Princess,
• 47:53
  SPEAKER_02: like,
• 47:55
  SPEAKER_02: this is good,
• 47:56
  SPEAKER_02: right,
• 47:56
  SPEAKER_02: Princess?
• 47:57
  SPEAKER_01: Like, you know?
• 47:59
  she you know she's sniffing around and like I said what she
• 48:02
  does notice is that
• 48:03
  like she's able to kind of follow the bits out into the desert
• 48:08
  I mean it's once you
• 48:10
  pass like the trees and the train tracks it's just all open
• 48:14
  desert and she's like
• 48:15
  sniffing through you could see her kind of like aim at the
• 48:17
  trees and in any way dog
• 48:20
  SPEAKER_01: would she gives like an affirmative like yes this seems like
• 48:25
  it's okay you know what I mean like she's not an investigative
• 48:29
  mastermind but again
• 48:31
  at a glance totally fine okay um great I mean yeah that that
• 48:41
  totally solves our
• 48:42
  SPEAKER_02: problem I think um I guess he'll just go back to the motel and um
• 48:51
  actually no we need to go we need to go get the the car done um
• 48:57
  I think she doesn't
• 48:59
  have the money but that's she doesn't think about that that's
• 49:02
  somewhere deep in the
• 49:03
  back of her mind and will come up when it's relevant is that
• 49:06
  she's gonna go from

  SPEAKER_01: With two successes, it's not obvious, right?
• 1:42:12
  SPEAKER_01: Not at all.
• 1:42:13
  SPEAKER_01: Or...
• 1:42:14
  maybe it's because it's so obvious but with two successes maybe
• 1:42:19
  you start to slowly
• 1:42:20
  put it together that the out-of-towners the license plate the
• 1:42:26
  pictures of them like
• 1:42:28
  candidly doing other things at different angles that this guy
• 1:42:32
  is some sort of
• 1:42:35
  predator whether he's a serial killer or something like that
• 1:42:39
  you can't put that
• 1:42:40
  SPEAKER_01: much together but obviously he's some kind of hunter
• 1:42:44
  SPEAKER_01: people, some sort of predator of them.
• 1:42:47
  SPEAKER_01: Logan, you're like, what do you think he's doing?

• 1:42:56
  but he's refusing to say anything else.
• 1:42:58
  SPEAKER_01: He knows he's caught, but he's not saying shit.

  SPEAKER_00: Let's do this now while we still have a meal Okay Logan,

  initially feed off
• 1:50:37
  SPEAKER_00: me then I munch on this hopeless man who's pissed himself Okay
• 1:50:48
  SPEAKER_03: By the way, I got a success.

• 1:50:57
  SPEAKER_01: I just wanted to know what was fun.
• 1:50:58
  SPEAKER_01: With the one success, he's done nothing to your car.
• 1:51:01
  SPEAKER_01: He never had time to set up any trackers.
• 1:51:03
  SPEAKER_01: You give it a once-over.
• 1:51:05
  SPEAKER_01: No problem.
• 1:51:06
  The way you,
• 1:51:08
  Jacob,
• 1:51:08
  and you,
• 1:51:09
  Logan,
• 1:51:10
  go through everything,
• 1:51:12
  you can both come down to one hunger.
• 1:51:15
  SPEAKER_01: Unless you plan to kill him.
• 1:51:17
  SPEAKER_00: Nah.
• 1:51:22
  SPEAKER_01: leave him alive.
• 1:51:23
  SPEAKER_01: You both can slick down to one Jacob, you're feeding for him.
• 1:51:26
  SPEAKER_01: Logan, you're feeding from Jacob as you both come down in hunger.
• 1:51:32
  SPEAKER_01: Without too much trouble.
• 1:51:34
  SPEAKER_01: You know, maybe you chain the door behind.
• 1:51:36
  SPEAKER_01: So that way he can't just find his way out easily enough.
• 1:51:40
  SPEAKER_01: You drop the phone off.
• 1:51:42
  Logan you stop by the McDonald's on the way out of town because
• 1:51:46
  you got to go back
• 1:51:46
  that way anyway you can get Chris's number you can add her to
• 1:51:50
  your sheet as you
• 1:51:53
  SPEAKER_01: guys make your way from Wendover,
• 1:51:58
  SPEAKER_01: Utah and hit the 80 again the next major stop is Salt Lake City
• 1:52:12
  As you guys leave Salt Lake This is not your guys' thing
• 1:52:19
  However If we were to
• 1:52:21
  adjust the camera Back to Wendover The sheriff is Pretty like
• 1:52:30
  Fine Like he's not
• 1:52:31
  worried about it He's sitting in his office by himself Just
• 1:52:34
  kind of like Playing on
• 1:52:36
  his phone Hanging out Just waiting for calls But Deputy Sharon
• 1:52:41
  King Is not there
• 1:52:44
  she goes and because you guys left a person kind of like hurt
• 1:52:50
  and wounded behind at
• 1:52:53
  the bar I'm sure you cleaned up you know you like the wounds
• 1:52:56
  closed I won't you
• 1:52:57
  know ask you about that you guys are old enough to have done
• 1:53:00

• 1:53:13
  motel she's checking
• 1:53:16
  around it's you know you guys drop it off the sheriff comes out
• 1:53:21
  he sees the phone
• 1:53:22
  he studies you can see like the startle on his face he
• 1:53:26
  immediately radios the
• 1:53:28
  deputy and they both head over to the gas station or they
• 1:53:32
  overhead the mechanic
• 1:53:33
  shop he's not there they get the gas station and they're able
• 1:53:35
  to solve that but
• 1:53:37
  SPEAKER_01: Sharon is not convinced that all was level, right?
• 1:53:43
  SPEAKER_01: Too many little coincidences, little strange things that have happened.
• 1:53:50
  SPEAKER_01: But on the whole,
• 1:53:52
  you leave Wendover a little more money in your pocket and on
• 1:53:57
  the road to stardom.
• 1:54:00
  SPEAKER_03: Fuck them Mormons.

• 1:54:25
  you're not gonna make
• 1:54:26
  it there you know in in one night shot you're gonna have to
• 1:54:29
  stop sleep in the car
• 1:54:30
  hide out and then continue on or do you spend maybe some extra
• 1:54:35
  time you know
• 1:54:37
  doubling back the same way you did escape from Dalton where you
• 1:54:40
  know maybe you
• 1:54:40
  drive out in the desert spend a night or two out there just
• 1:54:43
  trying to make sure
• 1:54:44
  that no one's on your trail what do you two want to do what do
• 1:54:47
  you three want to do
• 1:54:49
  SPEAKER_01: we'll have different outcomes depending on your choices
• 1:54:52
  SPEAKER_01: I'll give you guys the scene to discuss.
• 1:54:56
  SPEAKER_03: As soon as they're out of Wendover, Robin kind of clears her throat.
• 1:55:01
  SPEAKER_03: She's back in her driver's seat.
• 1:55:04
  SPEAKER_03: Like, back in her comfort zone, but still obviously on edge.
• 1:55:11
  SPEAKER_03: You guys have... You guys have...
• 1:55:21
  SPEAKER_03: Do you guys know what you want to do, I guess?
• 1:55:30
  SPEAKER_00: He kind of gives a shrug.
• 1:55:33
  SPEAKER_00: Well, we almost got caught by the sheriff and deputy.
• 1:55:40
  SPEAKER_00: We also had to murder another man.
• 1:55:43
  SPEAKER_00: I had to cover up your tracks.
• 1:55:47
  SPEAKER_00: And we're
• 1:55:49
  SPEAKER_00: currently sat in your van leaving this shithole behind.
• 1:55:58
  SPEAKER_02: I think that we have to leave as fast as possible,
• 1:56:03
  but that doesn't mean we have to get to the next place as fast
• 1:56:06
  as possible,
• 1:56:06
  SPEAKER_02: if you know what I mean.
• 1:56:08
  SPEAKER_00: We've got money, we've got fuel.
• 1:56:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:56:11
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to drive to find a
• 1:56:18
  good spot to park and then I think I just need to let off all
• 1:56:24
  that adrenaline.
• 1:56:25
  SPEAKER_00: Makes sense.
• 1:56:27
  SPEAKER_03: You guys good with that?
• 1:56:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:56:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that works.
• 1:56:33
  SPEAKER_01: Whatever passes for kindred adrenaline.
• 1:56:37
  SPEAKER_01: You know, the calming of the beast in a way.
• 1:56:43
  So is it my understanding that you're going to spend maybe an
• 1:56:47
  extra night or two on
• 1:56:49
  SPEAKER_01: the road,
• 1:56:51
  SPEAKER_01: maybe avoiding any trails that might come after you?
• 1:56:54
  SPEAKER_01: Is that what I'm getting at?
• 1:56:59
  SPEAKER_01: Give me,
• 1:57:02
  everybody give me two rouse checks for these next couple of
• 1:57:06
  nights that you spend,
• 1:57:07
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 1:57:08
  SPEAKER_01: trying to make sure that there's no trail to hide.
• 1:57:16
  SPEAKER_01: Robin, I would like a dice pool of your wits and drive.
• 1:57:23
  SPEAKER_03: Wits and drive.
• 1:57:26
  SPEAKER_00: Three successes.
• 1:57:31
  SPEAKER_01: Three successes.
• 1:57:32
  SPEAKER_01: Very good.
• 1:57:33
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not going to tell you anything.
• 1:57:35
  SPEAKER_01: Very good.
• 1:57:35
  SPEAKER_01: That's all you get from me.
• 1:57:36
  SPEAKER_01: Very good.
• 1:57:39
  a few nights maybe two this is the third you spend two nights
• 1:57:42
  on the road so this
• 1:57:43
  is the third night you left the one night you spend another
• 1:57:46
  night and this is the
• 1:57:47
  third night three and on night three you guys see you know
• 1:57:53
  you've got a mostly full
• 1:57:54
  tank of gas you know maybe three-quarters of the way between
• 1:57:58
  three-quarters and
• 1:57:59
  SPEAKER_01: halfway full tank of gas and the highway sign for Salt Lake City
• 1:58:08
  SPEAKER_01: shows itself maybe a mile or so.
• 1:58:12
  SPEAKER_01: out away.
• 1:58:13
  SPEAKER_01: You can see the lights,
• 1:58:14
  SPEAKER_01: you can see some of the skyscrapers in the building,
• 1:58:17
  SPEAKER_01: the Rockies,
• 1:58:19
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 1:58:19
  SPEAKER_01: in the distance.
• 1:58:20
  SPEAKER_01: Again, Salt Lake is a really wide open city, very sprawling.
• 1:58:26
  SPEAKER_01: And you've kind of got to make your way,
• 1:58:27
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 1:58:27
  SPEAKER_01: winding around through the mountains,
• 1:58:29
  SPEAKER_01: through the double backs and switchbacks.
• 1:58:32
  SPEAKER_01: But you get to a point where it's like a lookout,
• 1:58:35
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 1:58:35
  SPEAKER_01: as you pass through the Rockies where you can,
• 1:58:38
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 1:58:38
  SPEAKER_01: maybe stop the van and overlook the city as a whole.
• 1:58:42
  SPEAKER_01: on that outlook, you guys take a look.
• 1:58:45
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to give you guys the opportunity.
• 1:58:46
  I want to know what each of you is thinking as you kind of look
• 1:58:51
  at this new city
• 1:58:53
  that you're going to come into and maybe try to make some
• 1:58:57
  fortune here too.
• 1:58:59
  SPEAKER_01: Let's start with you, Robin.
• 1:59:02
  As Robin parks the car,
• 1:59:04
  the van,
• 1:59:06
  and hops out a little,
• 1:59:08
  she kind of leads it back
• 1:59:11
  SPEAKER_03: things against it as she looks over the city.
• 1:59:15
  She's back in another urban place,
• 1:59:18
  at least,
• 1:59:19
  but it's a weird,
• 1:59:22
  weird feeling.
• 1:59:23
  Again,
• 1:59:24
  pretty much this whole time she's had weird feelings,
• 1:59:29
  but this is just hard.
• 1:59:33
  SPEAKER_03: She knows that Salt Lake City is big.
• 1:59:36
  SPEAKER_03: She doesn't know who rules over it, but
• 1:59:40
  considering its size it's bound to be one one of the big
• 1:59:45
  players and if it's
• 1:59:49
  probably something they'll have to deal with almost immediately
• 1:59:53
  it's gonna be half
• 1:59:56
  but she kind of like fiddles with her hands a bit and then
• 2:00:03
  looks to Logan and kind
• 2:00:05
  SPEAKER_03: of like taps her on the shoulder and like um
• 2:00:09
  SPEAKER_03: in a minute.
• 2:00:10
  SPEAKER_03: Can I talk to you?
• 2:00:12
  SPEAKER_02: Hey, sure.
• 2:00:15
  SPEAKER_02: I think
• 2:00:16
  What she almost caught Logan doing was trying to find the place
• 2:00:22
  that they were
• 2:00:23
  going to go so that she can get her Amazon order to arrive with
• 2:00:30
  the van braces and
• 2:00:33
  SPEAKER_02: big choker for Robin.
• 2:00:38
  SPEAKER_02: The little gift that she's been thinking about getting Robin for a while.
• 2:00:43
  or at least for the past couple days,
• 2:00:46
  she's like,
• 2:00:46
  oh,
• 2:00:47
  now it's my opportunity.
• 2:00:48
  SPEAKER_02: We're in this big city.
• 2:00:49
  SPEAKER_02: I can make things right.
• 2:00:50
  SPEAKER_02: I can fix things.
• 2:00:53
  And so interrupting that,
• 2:00:54
  like,
• 2:00:55
  oh,
• 2:00:55
  I have to keep it a surprise to be like,
• 2:00:58
  oh,
• 2:00:58
  yeah,
• 2:00:59
  sure.
• 2:01:00
  SPEAKER_02: This is the person that I hurt.
• 2:01:02
  SPEAKER_02: Now I have to have, like, let's have a conversation.
• 2:01:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yay.
• 2:01:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yay.
• 2:01:12
  SPEAKER_01: Hey guys,
• 2:01:13
  SPEAKER_01: quick reminder to leave a like,
• 2:01:15
  SPEAKER_01: a comment,
• 2:01:16
  SPEAKER_01: and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
• 2:01:19
  SPEAKER_03: Thanks!
• 2:01:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:01:23
  SPEAKER_01: What about you, Jacob?
• 2:01:24
  SPEAKER_01: What are your thoughts overlooking this?
• 2:01:27
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you've got nothing to worry about, so a sense of relief.
• 2:01:33
  SPEAKER_00: I'm all curious to see if they do all stick together.
• 2:01:42
  SPEAKER_00: And if so, how long before something like that happens once again?
• 2:01:48
  SPEAKER_01: I like it.
• 2:01:51
  SPEAKER_01: I do.
• 2:01:53
  SPEAKER_01: Robin and Logan, you wanted to have a quick conversation?
• 2:01:59
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 2:02:00
  SPEAKER_03: Obviously,
• 2:02:00
  SPEAKER_03: there's not exactly many places to be private in here,
• 2:02:03
  but she kind of walks off to the other side of the van from
• 2:02:08
  where Jacob is,
• 2:02:09
  SPEAKER_03: so they can have a bit more
• 2:02:13
  a semblance of privacy and she kind of like it just a bit like
• 2:02:20
  scratches her neck a
• 2:02:22
  bit and kind of like it takes her a minute until she's like oh
• 2:02:28
  man I'm not good at
• 2:02:29
  this shit okay I'll just say it I'm sorry Logan I'm sorry for
• 2:02:36
  staking you but I'm
• 2:02:39
  SPEAKER_03: sorry I
• 2:02:42
  I completely understand I really didn't mean to hurt you and I
• 2:02:49
  understand even if
• 2:02:50
  it was like retaliatory or whatever I understand you're fully
• 2:02:56
  within your rights
• 2:02:57
  you don't need to apologize no no it was things had calmed down
• 2:03:04
  by then and I still
• 2:03:07
  SPEAKER_03: went through with it it was a shitty thing even if I
• 2:03:11
  SPEAKER_03: and didn't know what to do.
• 2:03:12
  SPEAKER_03: It doesn't make it any less shitty.
• 2:03:17
  SPEAKER_03: And the question is, is Princess Dartmouth nearby?
• 2:03:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah,
• 2:03:26
  SPEAKER_02: when you say that it wasn't any less shitty,
• 2:03:30
  SPEAKER_02: Logan's going to give a pointed look at Princess Dartmouth being like,
• 2:03:34
  SPEAKER_02: you hear that?
• 2:03:35
  SPEAKER_02: Do you?
• 2:03:38
  she gives like a little low growl but doesn't like it's not
• 2:03:42
  exactly hostile just
• 2:03:45
  unfriendly and um I'm sorry to um uh Princess Dartmouth oh my
• 2:03:56
  god I can't believe
• 2:03:56
  SPEAKER_03: I'm apologizing to a dog I'm sorry there's another growl it's not as uh
• 2:04:05
  It's not as unfriendly But it's more like Like dismissive As
• 2:04:11
  she kind of like turns
• 2:04:12
  away And hops back in the back of the van A little gruff At
• 2:04:18
  least it's a bit better
• 2:04:19
  SPEAKER_03: But Listen I get this is Involuntary But I think it's best if we
• 2:04:31
  and it probably shouldn't be now we got enough shit on our
• 2:04:36
  hands but I think it'd
• 2:04:37
  be good to figure out a plan for what happened next because I
• 2:04:46
  oh this is so fucking
• 2:04:47
  SPEAKER_03: embarrassing I kind of like being with you guys oh you
• 2:04:54
  I really like hanging with you Robin Robin I really really like
• 2:04:58

• 2:05:00

• 2:05:09
  SPEAKER_02: dying Robin to this day Robin really likes us Come in here,
• 2:05:14
  SPEAKER_00: come in here Shut up He gives Very well then He would come over and
• 2:05:25
  SPEAKER_00: Gently join for like a second before he backs out of the hug Alright,

• 2:05:33
  SPEAKER_02: too tight Okay,
• 2:05:36

• 2:05:52
  we figure out a plan
• 2:05:53
  SPEAKER_03: We'll be good
• 2:05:59
  It's not like this isn't a deal breaker or anything or like
• 2:06:03
  this is the end of the world.
• 2:06:06
  SPEAKER_03: We can figure something out.
• 2:06:09
  SPEAKER_03: We got the rest of eternity to figure it out, I guess.
• 2:06:17
  SPEAKER_01: I like it.
• 2:06:18
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, that was a bad joke.
• 2:06:21
  SPEAKER_01: As you all get back into the car,
• 2:06:25
  SPEAKER_01: make your way down through the mountains into the city,
• 2:06:30
  SPEAKER_01: Salt Lake City is not Vegas.
• 2:06:33
  SPEAKER_01: It's definitely not Wendover.
• 2:06:35
  SPEAKER_01: It is a major city, but it's nothing like Vegas at all.
• 2:06:43
  SPEAKER_01: It almost rises out of the valley like
• 2:06:48
  despite the desert around it like it's surrounded on all sides
• 2:06:51
  in this valley by
• 2:06:52
  desert and here's this city in the middle similar to Vegas but
• 2:06:59
  like the streets are
• 2:07:01
  are huge like extra wide you know just regular streets as you
• 2:07:06
  kind of wake your way
• 2:07:07
  through the city um even suburban streets are like two and four
• 2:07:12
  lanes across rather
• 2:07:13
  SPEAKER_01: than maybe the one in one lane on each side
• 2:07:17
  SPEAKER_01: It's all laid out very, very cleanly.
• 2:07:22
  SPEAKER_01: Nice, even grid lines.
• 2:07:25
  You can see that the trees are kind of bunched together in
• 2:07:30
  specific places.
• 2:07:31
  SPEAKER_01: They're not inter-dispersed.
• 2:07:33
  And the layout makes it seem like it's intentional,
• 2:07:36
  maybe as a way to conserve water.
• 2:07:40
  SPEAKER_01: To the east, the mountains dominate the night sky.
• 2:07:48
  the neon lights in the background,
• 2:07:49
  or there are a few,
• 2:07:51
  you know,
• 2:07:51
  kind of large buildings.
• 2:07:52
  SPEAKER_01: You can see the Wells Fargo Tower.
• 2:07:59
  SPEAKER_01: There's the the Astro Tower in the back.
• 2:08:02
  But as you drive through the city,
• 2:08:05
  something that you you would definitely notice is
• 2:08:10
  how like the nightlife itself is is despite the spies of the
• 2:08:15
  city is much smaller
• 2:08:16
  than you'd find in Vegas a lot more intimate groups of two and
• 2:08:19
  three are not
• 2:08:21
  they're not rowdy they're not loud they're just walking in
• 2:08:24
  packs together not
• 2:08:26
  exactly scared just a lot tighter you know these communities
• 2:08:30
  are much more lit and
• 2:08:32
  SPEAKER_01: in every block every other block every few blocks there's
• 2:08:36
  SPEAKER_01: all of the religious iconography in the world.
• 2:08:40
  SPEAKER_01: There are churches everywhere.
• 2:08:45
  SPEAKER_01: Even this late at night, you know what I mean?
• 2:08:47
  SPEAKER_01: It might be 7.30 p.m.
• 2:08:51
  SPEAKER_01: The churches are lit up.
• 2:08:52
  SPEAKER_01: There are people in them, outside of them.
• 2:08:54
  You can hear church bells going off as you hit the city and the
• 2:08:58
  clock strikes eight.
• 2:09:00
  SPEAKER_01: Hundreds of church bells through the city.
• 2:09:03
  go off and you can see like the influence religion has on this
• 2:09:08
  city even you know
• 2:09:10
  like you can see city hall as you pass through downtown there's
• 2:09:13
  a big cross on the
• 2:09:15
  front of it it dominates everything Mormons Robin I would like
• 2:09:25
  a intelligence and a
• 2:09:26
  SPEAKER_01: cold roll from you as you guys enter into the city limits proper
• 2:09:35
  SPEAKER_02: How many successes?
• 2:09:37
  SPEAKER_01: Four.
• 2:09:42
  SPEAKER_01: Robin,
• 2:09:43
  you're a salubri and you are more accustomed to occult things
• 2:09:49
  than almost every
• 2:09:52
  SPEAKER_01: other clan might be outside of maybe the Banu Hakim or the Trumir clans.
• 2:09:58
  And as you pass into the city,
• 2:10:01
  like you right as you hit the barrier from outside of the city,
• 2:10:05
  SPEAKER_01: to inside a city, that little line.
• 2:10:07
  SPEAKER_01: What you feel is a barrier of some kind.
• 2:10:12
  SPEAKER_01: Something, as you pass through this, you can feel it.
• 2:10:19
  SPEAKER_01: Like there are eyes on you from up above.
• 2:10:23
  SPEAKER_01: Something has noticed your entrance into this city.
• 2:10:26
  SPEAKER_01: You don't know what it was, who it was, what's going on.
• 2:10:32
  but you know for certain with four successes that you've just
• 2:10:38
  passed some sort of
• 2:10:40
  SPEAKER_01: barrier line into the city.
• 2:10:43
  SPEAKER_03: I don't like this.
• 2:10:45
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just going to say it.
• 2:10:50
  SPEAKER_02: Why?
• 2:10:51
  SPEAKER_02: The crosses mean that this kink life is going to be crazy out here.
• 2:10:57
  SPEAKER_03: Oh my god.
• 2:10:58
  SPEAKER_03: What?
• 2:11:02
  SPEAKER_03: No, it's not like the usual Mormon TVGVs.
• 2:11:07
  SPEAKER_03: It's something real.
• 2:11:12
  SPEAKER_03: Something real is here.
• 2:11:13
  SPEAKER_03: And it knows we're here.
• 2:11:15
  SPEAKER_00: So kindred activities.
• 2:11:21
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe.
• 2:11:23
  SPEAKER_03: Can't tell if it's kindred or something else.
• 2:11:26
  SPEAKER_03: But it definitely knows we're here.
• 2:11:29
  SPEAKER_00: Do we want to try figuring out if this is Camarilla?
• 2:11:36
  SPEAKER_03: Best to do that, lest we get in trouble for breaking their rules.
• 2:11:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'd like to avoid more issues.
• 2:11:48
  SPEAKER_01: More issues, that's the right word.
• 2:11:50
  SPEAKER_01: Do you guys go to like a hotel, motel?
• 2:11:53
  SPEAKER_01: Where do you pull, where do you guys go?
• 2:11:56
  SPEAKER_01: You've got some money in your pocket,
• 2:11:57
  SPEAKER_01: like 500 bucks,
• 2:11:58
  SPEAKER_01: I think we talked about it,
• 2:11:59
  SPEAKER_01: something like that.
• 2:12:00
  and um we have 600 bucks you spent seven years we've got like a
• 2:12:07
  530 bucks or some
• 2:12:09

• 2:12:15
  want to go to to you
• 2:12:16
  know set up shop place to rest your heads if you're going to be
• 2:12:20
  in the city for any
• 2:12:21
  length of time motels they don't check up on you but hotels you
• 2:12:25
  might be able to
• 2:12:26
  SPEAKER_02: get a room that's really terrible that doesn't have windows
• 2:12:31
  And I don't know how friendly these people are To seemingly
• 2:12:36
  homeless people So I
• 2:12:38
  probably wouldn't go for a sleeping in the van That's true
• 2:12:45
  That's very true So a
• 2:12:46
  nice hotel Not too upscale Not a motel Something in the middle
• 2:12:50
  Is that what I'm
• 2:12:51
  SPEAKER_01: understanding?
• 2:12:54
  You find as you go through town Maybe make your way to downtown
• 2:12:58
  Wherever you want to go
• 2:13:00
  uh you find an extended stays um hotel yeah get to the checkout
• 2:13:07

• 2:13:12

  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 2:13:58
  SPEAKER_01: lay your clothes out and get ready.
• 2:13:59

• 2:14:07
  before there's a knock
• 2:14:09
  SPEAKER_01: on your hotel room door.
• 2:14:14
  SPEAKER_00: Take a good answer.

  uh are you the newcomers into town from the other side do you
• 2:14:29
  open the door or do
• 2:14:30

• 2:14:34
  and would slightly
• 2:14:35
  open it on the latch um you open the latch up and he doesn't
• 2:14:41
  say that because you
• 2:14:42

• 2:17:56
  SPEAKER_01: You all, are you traveling?
• 2:17:58
  SPEAKER_01: Are you just passing through the city?
• 2:18:00
  SPEAKER_01: Are you planning to attempt to set up here?
• 2:18:04
  SPEAKER_03: Not permanently.
• 2:18:07
  Salt Lake,
• 2:18:09
  if you guys are not aware,
• 2:18:10
  and I assume you aren't since you've come,
• 2:18:13
  is...
• 2:18:13
  SPEAKER_01: off limits to all those not invited as a whole.
• 2:18:19
  SPEAKER_01: Normally,
• 2:18:21
  SPEAKER_01: in previous nights,
• 2:18:24
  SPEAKER_01: as we've reached into modern times,
• 2:18:26
  SPEAKER_01: we've had to change our approach to things.
• 2:18:29
  But in previous nights,
• 2:18:31
  you would not have survived entrance into the city.
• 2:18:35
  SPEAKER_01: We would have killed you immediately.
• 2:18:38
  SPEAKER_01: However, we have
• 2:18:40
  SPEAKER_01: changed policies.
• 2:18:42
  SPEAKER_01: We know that the younger kindred are more apt to move around.
• 2:18:47
  SPEAKER_01: Modern nights require modern solutions.
• 2:18:51
  SPEAKER_01: So Mary Linda extends to all visitors a temporary stay within Salt Lake.
• 2:18:59
  SPEAKER_01: You have three days to conduct whatever business you'd like.
• 2:19:06
  SPEAKER_01: There is the communities here are very religious and
• 2:19:11
  SPEAKER_01: closely monitored by our kind.
• 2:19:13
  SPEAKER_01: We keep the population very controlled.
• 2:19:17
  So you are allowed to feed,
• 2:19:20
  but should you feed for more than two different people?
• 2:19:24
  SPEAKER_01: This will incur repercussions.
• 2:19:27
  That is too a piece for each of you to find,
• 2:19:31
  to feed from while you are here.
• 2:19:34
  We advise you heavily not to kill them as that would change our
• 2:19:39
  population controls
• 2:19:40
  SPEAKER_01: and how we quantify things.
• 2:19:44
  SPEAKER_01: Are you with me still?
• 2:19:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:19:47
  SPEAKER_00: Any rules about using disciplines?
• 2:19:51
  SPEAKER_01: Keep all things you do
• 2:19:54
  SPEAKER_01: to a minimum.
• 2:19:56
  SPEAKER_03: They don't step on any toes.
• 2:20:00
  SPEAKER_01: I'm glad to hear.
• 2:20:02
  SPEAKER_01: Keep your discipline usages to a minimum.
• 2:20:05
  Attempt not to do anything to break the masquerade as that will
• 2:20:09
  incur severe penalties as well.
• 2:20:13
  SPEAKER_01: Not up to and including your unlifes as a whole.
• 2:20:19
  SPEAKER_01: Three days.
• 2:20:20
  SPEAKER_01: Do your business.
• 2:20:21
  SPEAKER_01: We do not require any tithing.
• 2:20:24
  We ask that you come,
• 2:20:26
  you keep yourselves clean,
• 2:20:27
  you do whatever business you're here to do.
• 2:20:30
  SPEAKER_01: However,
• 2:20:31
  SPEAKER_01: the genealogical library of Salt Lake City,
• 2:20:36
  SPEAKER_01: a mile in every direction is completely off limits.
• 2:20:42
  SPEAKER_01: Should be the same barrier that you passed coming into the city.
• 2:20:47
  SPEAKER_01: that will be present around there,
• 2:20:49
  SPEAKER_01: and should you cross that barrier,
• 2:20:52
  SPEAKER_01: your un-lives are forfeit.
• 2:20:56
  SPEAKER_01: This is.
• 2:20:59
  SPEAKER_03: What was your name again?
• 2:21:01
  SPEAKER_01: My name is Dr. Silas Atwood.
• 2:21:05
  SPEAKER_02: Understood.
• 2:21:08
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you for informing us, and I'm very
• 2:21:14
  SPEAKER_02: and adds that you had a change in policy.
• 2:21:17
  SPEAKER_01: We have
• 2:21:20
  modernized as much as we can i won't ask exactly your business
• 2:21:24
  here um whatever you
• 2:21:26
  may be visiting old family whatever it is you're here to do we
• 2:21:29
  ask that you keep
• 2:21:30
  your criminal activities to the very barest minimum if you plan
• 2:21:36
  to steal or rob we
• 2:21:38
  suggest that you keep your stealings your gains under a
• 2:21:42
  thousand dollars for
• 2:21:44
  SPEAKER_01: whatever you choose to steal as this usually does not
• 2:21:49
  uh draw mortal law enforcement attention and we try to keep
• 2:21:53
  that close-knit if you
• 2:21:54
  are here to do a job drop off packages whatever the case may be
• 2:21:58

• 2:22:00
  so again your limit here is three nights we know you have no
• 2:22:04
  business with us
• 2:22:05
  because we do no business with anyone outside of the city so
• 2:22:09
  whatever mortals you
• 2:22:10
  are here to visit and business you do do it and before you
• 2:22:14
  leave we will check in

• 2:22:20
  SPEAKER_01: but that's just to make sure that all went well.
• 2:22:27
